1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Welcome back in our number two Friday edition, Clay and Buck. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: I am down on the north side of Florida on 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: the beautiful Panhandle. Buck is down on the south side 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: of Florida in Miami. We are covering both sides of 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: the state and all sides of the country as we 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: take you into the weekend. And I want to play 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: a cut for you to kind of put a bow 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: on the discussion that we had surrounding the John Bolton 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: eighteen felony counts that he has been charged with. Even 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: on MSNBC when the indictment came out and they reviewed 11 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: the charges against him, they said, uh oh, this is 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: not very good for John Bolton. Here is MSNBC's guest 13 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: cut thirty three. Listen. 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: It doesn't look good for him. There's no way to 15 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: slice it. The details of this indictment do not look good. 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: Okay, that's former White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews. 17 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: And so if CNN and MSNBC are actually saying, uh oh, 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: that is a huge mess, it probably is a huge 19 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: mess for John Bolton. And we've talked about that a lot. 20 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: In an hour one would encourage you go download the podcast. 21 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: You can dive in and keep up with us, even 22 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: if you happen to just be getting in your car 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,919 Speaker 1: or just turning us on wherever you may be across 24 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: the country. A whole first hour much of the discussion 25 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: about John Bolton. Now, there were two different debates last night. 26 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: For those of you who have been following this closely, 27 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: this is an off year and there are not a 28 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: ton of races going on. But the New Jersey governor's race, 29 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: the Virginia governor's race, and now the Virginia Attorney General's 30 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: race in conjunction with the New York City mayor's race, 31 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: will give you some sense maybe of the political environment 32 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: in general. Now, to be fair, Kamala won New Jersey 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: by five or six points, she won Virginia by five 34 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: or six points, and obviously New York City, even though 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: it moved in Trump's direction, these are all Democrat bases. 36 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure how much you can tell what 37 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: the impact is going to be going forward. Uh So, 38 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: all of that in mind, but within the context of 39 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: these debates, I just got to be honest, Buck, You're 40 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: a lifelong New York City resident who moved to Miami. 41 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: What is Curtis Leewa doing Mom Donnie is going to 42 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: win this race as long as he stays in it. 43 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: And I get it. If some of you say, well 44 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo is no better, I'm gonna vote for Curtis Sliwa, 45 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: I get it. But whenever there is an anti Mom 46 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: Donnie vote that is being split, it means Mom Donnie 47 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: is going to win. 48 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 3: Uh. 49 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: And so I just I don't understand at all what 50 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: is going on here, and Mam Donnie just went aggressively 51 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: after Andrew Cuomo. Will play a couple of those a 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: couple of those cuts, But I do want to play 53 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: this from Harry Enton, who just lays out the math 54 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: on Mam Donnie is going to win. This is cut 55 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: thirty one. 56 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 2: Mamdanni leads by eighteen points. 57 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 4: Right now, look at the largest polling average miss since 58 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 4: nineteen hundred and eighty nine. 59 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 2: You know what it was, It was eleven points. 60 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: You don't have going to be a mathematical genius to 61 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 4: know eleven points is less than eighteen points. So if 62 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 4: Andrew Cuomo is going to come back and win, either 63 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 4: something like Curtis Leewa has to drop out of the race, 64 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 4: or you need a polling miss that is nearly twice 65 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 4: as large as the largest. 66 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: Miss on record. 67 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 4: So you're gonna probably need something historically unprecedented for Andrew 68 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 4: Cuomo to win this race if the polling average holds. 69 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: Through election day. 70 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: Okay, Buck, what am I missing here? 71 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: Now? 72 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: I have previously said, and I'm sorry to the wor listeners. 73 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to all of you in New York City. 74 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: I have previously said, I actually think Mam Donnie Win, 75 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: a Mam Donnie Win is beneficial to the nation because 76 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: it forces a far left wing Shaking his head, he's 77 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: already getting roufful look on his face. 78 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 5: Hey, I thought we're all I thought all we conservatives 79 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 5: were on this lifeboat together. And Clay is taking New 80 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 5: York and the christ State area conservatives and he's saying, 81 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 5: just like, just like Jack, there was no room for 82 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 5: him on the door with Rose. He's letting New Yorkers 83 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 5: just slide into the icy depths after the Titanic has 84 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 5: gone down. And I'm not okay with that. I would 85 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 5: I'm rolling my lifeboat over to you New Yorkers. 86 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: I want you to be okay, water's cold, there's no 87 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: room for the rest of us. Sometimes you just got 88 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: to toss New York City in. Let it, much like 89 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: Buck Island, as another island, go underneath the waves of 90 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: left wing insanity. Uh, and let the rest of us 91 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: live to see a happier day. So I actually don't 92 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: know that this is a bad result for the national 93 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: picture as it pertains to the House of Representatives, as 94 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: it pertains to all of the Senate races, governor's races 95 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: in the midterms coming up in twenty twenty six. But 96 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: but there is no other result here for New Yorkers. Mom, 97 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: Donnie is gonna win as long as Curtis Sleewas stays 98 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: in the race. Buck, You're a lifelong New York City 99 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: guy until a couple of years ago. What's going on here? 100 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: What is the calculus other than I want the attention 101 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: and I want the the Uh. I think it's just 102 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: attention because you're not gonna win for Curtis Sleewa, who 103 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: I like. We've had him on the show a bunch. 104 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: I just don't understand what he's doing. 105 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 5: Look, uh, I you know, I appreciate where Curtis is 106 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 5: coming from. 107 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 3: Is I don't know him. 108 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: I don't know him, but we've got him on the 109 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: show before and I like him. 110 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 5: I mean, he's yeah, and would he be would he 111 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 5: be a great mayor? Yeah, sure he would. Really, he'd 112 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 5: be so much better. But we got to look at 113 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 5: the political reality as it is here. And you said, 114 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 5: I'm a I'm a former New Yorker, which the the 115 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 5: Gertrude Stein thing. America is my country, but Paris is 116 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 5: my hometown. It feels like Florida is my state, but 117 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 5: New York City is my hometown. You know that's I 118 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 5: feel like a Floridian at the state level. But I 119 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 5: still have much more of a connection to New York 120 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 5: City than I do to Miami specifically. That may change 121 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 5: in time, But so maybe I'm a New Yorker in 122 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 5: exile in some way. I think a lot of people 123 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 5: down here are actually. 124 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: Clay. 125 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 5: I think what you need to do is have Cuomo 126 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 5: offer I was gonna say, Mom, Donnie, that's not good. 127 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 5: Gonna have Cuomo offer Sliwa, maybe a deputy mayor role 128 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 5: with the portfolio of public safety, which would also go 129 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 5: toward the fact that Cuomo is the jail break. I mean, 130 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 5: the problem here is Cuomo is awful too. I'm actually 131 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 5: not getting the. 132 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: Fact that he's considered in any way to be the savior. 133 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: Is how bad of a position that New York City 134 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: has put itself in. I am not that convinced that 135 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: Cuomo would be a lot better than mom. 136 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 5: Do Do I think he'd be better than Mam Donnie? Yeah, 137 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 5: I'm not convinced he'd be a lot better than Mam Donnie. 138 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 5: So that's why it's very hard for me to even 139 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 5: I think the mentality is, oh my gosh, I'm not 140 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 5: gonna do what the Left does with like a Hitler thing. 141 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 5: But like, oh, that Hitler guy's awful. Thank God we've 142 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 5: got Stalin on our side, you know, like there's a 143 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 5: little bit of that going on here. 144 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: Stalin was really bad too. 145 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 5: Uh So I think that Cuomo is Stalin in this analogy, 146 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 5: and I think that it's very hard for Sliwa to 147 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 5: see this as anything other than maybe a miracle happens. 148 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 5: But I can't let this be left to Cuomo either. 149 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 5: But if you if you want it to not be Mamdanni, 150 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 5: he's got to get some deal going and he's got 151 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 5: to drop out. And why he won't drop out, I 152 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 5: don't know. He's not going to be mayor unless a 153 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 5: meteor hits the world and something completely unforeseeable happens. 154 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: Now, let me give you a positive side of this, 155 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: because mam Donnie's gonna win. I want all of you 156 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: to be prepared for this. What are the guys we 157 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: had call in who was all angry at me for 158 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: telling you this. This is not the polls trying to 159 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: tell you a story. This is Mamdanni is gonna win 160 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: because the mam Donni opposition is going to be split 161 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: between Sliwa and Cuomo. Could be beneficial. Let me give 162 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: you a positive New York angle. Could be beneficial for 163 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: Elised Stephonic, who is running to try to beat Kathy 164 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: Hokel in twenty twenty six. In fact, this is what 165 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: Elist Stephonic just put out. The New York Times was 166 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: upset that Elis Stephonics said that that Mamdanni is a Jihattist. 167 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: They said that this is islamophobic of Elis Stephonic. And 168 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: this is her response, which I like. I called Zorron 169 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: Mamdani a jihadis because he is Mamdanni is a raging 170 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: anti Semite. Mam Donnie is the definition of a jihadist 171 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: as he supports hamas terrorist, which he did as recently 172 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: as yesterday when he refused to call for Hamas terris 173 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: to put down their arms, the same Hamas terrorist group 174 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: that slaughtered civilian including New Yorkers, on October seven, twenty 175 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: twenty three. He is Kathy Hokeels endorsed jiehattist communist who 176 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: she is empowered to destroy New York City. It's why 177 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: the New York State Democratic Party chair refuses to support him. 178 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: It's why multiple Democrat members of Congress refuse to support him. 179 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: It's why Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have still not 180 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: endorsed him because Zron is a jahadist who will destroy 181 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: New York. Thank you, now, that's a pretty good response 182 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: from Elis Stefani. I think that not only could it 183 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: benefit her in the governor's race if Mamdannie is in. Certainly, 184 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: I think it's massively beneficial. To her point, There's a 185 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: reason Akiem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, who are also New 186 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: York City guys, have not come on board with Mamdannie. 187 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: So I am circling back to I'm gonna look at 188 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: this as a positive as a glass half full situation. Yes, 189 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: New York is gonna drown, but the rest of us 190 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: are going to be in much better position. So kiss 191 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: to New Yorkers, and uh, I'm just gonna continue to 192 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: float away on my life vest while you guys go 193 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: under the water in the icy waters. I just think 194 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: I think there's room. I think there's room for Jack 195 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: on that door. And Rose needs to just, you know, 196 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: suck it in a little bit here and make some space. 197 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: So New York, I'm not I'm not letting you just 198 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: go down into the icy depths of communism without a fight. 199 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: All right, mister Nashville over here, a little bit of 200 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: a Nashville New York rivalry. 201 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 3: He has no problem with New York turning into someone 202 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 3: And we're. 203 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: Gonna be fine. Tennessee's fine, Florida is fine where I 204 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 1: am right now. New York, I'm gonna be up there 205 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: with you on Monday. But yeah, you're kind of screwed. 206 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 5: I think it's it's all gonna be okay. But maybe 207 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 5: this is finally. 208 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: The uh, the sanity that needs to happen, unfortunately through 209 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: a degree of pain, that will allow at least to 210 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: Phonic to be not just competitive, but maybe win against 211 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: Kathy Hochel. That's a positive. I do think. 212 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 5: I think someone like Hochel Well, the thing that she 213 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 5: would have relied on in previous elections to stay in 214 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 5: office would have been the abortion issue in New York. 215 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: I think that's going to be largely off that it's 216 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 5: not off the table. They're going to try to make 217 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 5: a thing of it, but people don't care that much. 218 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 5: It doesn't move the needle the way that they would 219 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 5: need it to. So I think at least Aphonic will 220 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 5: be very competitive on the economy and on public safety statewide, 221 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 5: and just also running a saner, better government in New York, 222 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 5: which it could certainly have, as we love, we love 223 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 5: to say New York has fewer people than Florida and 224 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 5: double the budget and worse public services. So someone has 225 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 5: to explain how that's not the clearest indicator imaginable of 226 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 5: the misappropriation or misallocation. 227 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,599 Speaker 3: Of funds that's going on a New York and a 228 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 3: regular basis. Mom, Donnie. 229 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 5: I also want to note Play said this was cut fourteen. 230 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 5: He apologized to NYPD officers, but I want you to 231 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 5: listen very closely to the way. 232 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 3: That he says it. Play fourteen. 233 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 6: I apologize for the language that I used, and I 234 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 6: spoke to them about the fact that I want to 235 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 6: work with them to deliver public safety because what we're 236 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,599 Speaker 6: seeing in the city right now is we're asking officers 237 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 6: to do nearly everything we can think of. 238 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 4: Police officers that I spoke to, they don't want a 239 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 4: behind closed doors apology. 240 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: They want a broad public apology for the things that 241 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: you suggested about them. Will you do that right now? 242 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 6: Absolutely? I'll apologize to police officers right here, because this 243 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 6: is the apology that I've been sharing with many rank 244 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 6: and file officers. And I apologize because of the fact 245 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 6: that I'm looking to work with these officers, and I 246 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 6: know that these officers, these men and women who serve 247 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 6: in the NYPD, they put their lives on the line 248 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 6: every single day. 249 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: I apologize for the language I used. I apologize because 250 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: the cops are great. He's saying here, But what he's 251 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: not doing is apologizing for jumping on the bandwagon of 252 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: cops are racist and cause all of the problems in 253 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: our cities because of that racism him and therefore we 254 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: need to pull funding from them, which makes everybody less safe, 255 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: including and specifically minority residence. Right like, it's it's it's 256 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: a hollow apology clays. 257 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 5: It feels like, yeah, apologize. It's almost like when and 258 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 5: you know. 259 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: Where I'm going with this one with your wife. I'm 260 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: sorry if that upset you. Oh, not good? 261 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 3: Or rather, i'm sorry you took it that way. 262 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 2: Mmm. 263 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: No, you know what I mean. Yes, I'm sorry if 264 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 3: you were offended by that like that. It's not really 265 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 3: what they want to hear. 266 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, the tone of your voice, tone of you. It's 267 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: not what you said, it's the tone of your voice. 268 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: Why are you yelling? I'm not yelling. This is how 269 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: I talk every husband out there, slowly nodding. 270 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: I'm having flashbacks right now. 271 00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 5: I'm a little traumatized just hearing you say this. 272 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: Let's play a little bit more of these, mind let 273 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: me play this as we go to break, and then 274 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: let's talk about this. Because Public Transit producer Ali, I 275 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: think some of the other crew rides public transit in 276 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: New York and they now are going to try to 277 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: make public transit free for everybody. Here's the problem. The 278 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: issue is safety and cleanliness. It's not cost cut and 279 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: making it free for everybody, to me, is not going 280 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: to make safety better and it's not going to make 281 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: the cleanliness of the experience better. Cut eleven. Just going 282 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: to raise tax rates and everything's going to be free. 283 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: This is what he's going to do. It's again New York, 284 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: you're going to sink underneath the waters. But the rest 285 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: of us we're going to be great. We've got nice 286 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: life rafts. Cut eleven. 287 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: The question is how you'll make them free. 288 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 6: We will fund the revenue that would have otherwise been 289 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 6: brought in from fares, and that's something that we would 290 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 6: do in partnership with Albany and I put forward two proposals. 291 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 6: The first is to raise taxes on the top one 292 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 6: percent of New Yorkers by two percent. That would raise 293 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 6: four billion dollars. The second is to raise the safe's 294 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 6: top corporate tax rate match out of New Jersey, which 295 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 6: would raise five billion. 296 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: Though there you go, just gonna tax everybody. It's buses, 297 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: But how many people out there think to themselves, Hey, 298 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: what busses need? The cost is too high. We just 299 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: need to have cheaper bussing. Anybody really think that it's 300 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: safety and it's cleanliness. That's what everybody wants. 301 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 7: You know. 302 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 5: There are some real possibilities in the stock market these days. 303 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 5: But you got to know where to go. 304 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: You've got to have good research and good ideas before 305 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: it's on the front page of the big newspapers out there. 306 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: So I've been collaborating with some incredible researchers and stock 307 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: analysts for a weekly e newsletter and you should check 308 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: this out. 309 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 5: It's called Money and Power.

Now, okay, 389 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: we've seen all of the blown up votes that are 390 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: happening off the coast in the Caribbean area, off the 391 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: coast of Venezuela. There has been talked Trump has talked 392 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: about it. CIA may be covertly attempting to attack the 393 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: regime of Maduro there, the person who stole power according 394 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: to most analysis of the election there. What should we 395 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: know about Venezuela? Where do you think it's headed? Are 396 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: we going to have boots on the ground? Is the 397 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: Maduro regime in your mind in danger? David Rutherford, Hey, 398 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: thank you. 399 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 9: Guys so much for having me on. That was a 400 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 9: hell of intro. I appreciate that. I believe where what 401 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 9: we need to do is look at the maxuses of 402 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 9: power that are emerging through the Venezuelan developments. Right, You've 403 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 9: got China who's invested over sixty billion dollars into loans, infrastructure, 404 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 9: everything you can think of. You've got coordinated relationships potentially 405 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 9: with Mexican cartels. Just recently we had a Mexican cartels 406 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 9: issue basically headhunting fees on certain border patrols. And then 407 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 9: I also think you have probably a large portion of 408 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 9: the population after the last election fiasco with Machado, that 409 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 9: is probably primed and wants to change. So all of 410 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 9: these things converging into I think the posture that we're 411 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 9: representing right now. I mean, what three D fifty two's 412 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 9: We've got ten thousand troops, We've got soft guys. There's 413 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 9: definitely agency folks working down there. So what happens next, 414 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 9: I think is going to be dependent upon Madurero's actions. 415 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 9: I mean, the funniest thing I saw in the last 416 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 9: few hours was one of their naval ships ran aground 417 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 9: and sunk. So I'm not sure anybody's not good right 418 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 9: So that you know, I think where things are heating 419 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 9: up for sure. 420 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Venezuela's Maduro regime has just ordered military exercises, by 421 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: the way, which I gotta say. 422 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 5: I guess if you are the you're the tinpot dictator 423 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 5: of Venezuela, now rut you gotta make it seem like 424 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 5: you got muscles to flex. But if I were this guy, 425 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 5: if I were Maduro, I might well, I'm sure he 426 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 5: already has stash cash in uh where are the places 427 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 5: people do it, like the Cook Islands or the Channel 428 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 5: Islands or whatever. But if I were him, I would 429 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 5: have my If I were Maduro, I would have my 430 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 5: go bag ready and an exit plan. 431 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 9: Maybe he could go get an apartment next door to 432 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 9: a sad playing video games over in Russia. 433 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 3: Wait, can I just jump in there? 434 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 5: When I read that rut all I wanted to know 435 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 5: in that article just ever under Stance, the longtime dictator 436 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 5: of Syria. There was a report that came out that 437 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 5: he's just hanging out in a luxury Moscow apartment playing 438 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 5: video games all day? 439 00:22:59,160 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 3: Is it call of do? 440 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 7: Like what? 441 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 3: I want to know what the video game is? 442 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 9: Maybe? 443 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, Roadbox, Yeah, I don't know. 444 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 9: You know, I think what's interesting is you have people 445 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 9: that capture power in the way they did. And you know, 446 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 9: I don't know if either of you saw the deposition 447 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 9: from the gentleman relative Tina Peters was putting it out 448 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 9: relative to his work at smart Mattic and the specific 449 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 9: development of that operating system to capture the elections thirty 450 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 9: years ago or whatever it was. And and you know, 451 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 9: I think when you have somebody that drives the country 452 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 9: into the ground, Eventually what happens the people began to 453 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 9: rise up, and we certainly saw that in the last 454 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 9: election and then the crackdown that came over. You know, yes, 455 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 9: this idea of citizen warfare. We saw the what was 456 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 9: a couple of months ago, they were showing some promo 457 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 9: stuff of you know, tractor Bob and you know, the 458 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 9: little lady holding the aka learning how to fight, and 459 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 9: that's absurd. I just don't believe that this country is 460 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 9: willing to endure any more of what's been taking place 461 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,719 Speaker 9: because you know, they're look at their inflation, look at 462 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 9: their production, look at their output. The only thing that 463 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 9: saves them, obviously is illegal drug traffic and probably some 464 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 9: human trafficking as well as uh, you know, probably some 465 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 9: arms traffic, and but it's oil and so, you know, 466 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 9: before putting boots on the ground, I'd love to see 467 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 9: maybe a blockade or something a little bit more, giving 468 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 9: them time to negotiate or alter or come out with 469 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 9: a position before we start sending, you know, a young 470 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 9: American women into fight in Venezuela. 471 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 5: We're speaking to David Rutherford, former Navy seal, host of 472 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 5: The David Rutherford Show on the Clay and Buck podcast network, 473 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 5: which you should all be catching up on listening to 474 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 5: this weekend if you if you missed this week's episode 475 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 5: and Rut you mentioned the cartels and how they've put 476 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 5: out bounties on members of US Border Patrol. We've had 477 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 5: multiple strikes now on narco terrorist boats in the Caribbean, 478 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 5: lethal strikes, right, kinetic strike missile is basically blown up ships, 479 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 5: and we're moving more military assets into the region to 480 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 5: do this. And when Joint Special Operations gets involved here, 481 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 5: when our operators are doing more against these cartels, do 482 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 5: you think the likelihood is they're going to go on 483 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 5: go to ground and try to ride it out or 484 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 5: are they going to try to escalate the violence in 485 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 5: response to change the political calculation here at home? 486 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 9: You know, that's the great question, right, Iron Plaid has had. 487 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 9: There's a woman who's a Mexican reporter who's talking about 488 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 9: she's doing on the ground interviews, you know, block out faces, 489 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 9: and they're saying we're just gonna wait it out. But 490 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 9: think about them the magnitude of the impact of shutting 491 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 9: that border down. 492 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 2: What does it cause? 493 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 9: Right, It's a lot of people. There's a guy named 494 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 9: Oscar Ramirez that's been reporting that there's a small civil 495 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 9: war amongst the cartels grouping building. So you know, I 496 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 9: think everybody's looking for, you know, how do we recapture 497 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 9: those those revenue streams that we lost from human trafficking 498 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 9: and probably a significant portion of trafficking across the border, 499 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 9: and so what what do they have to lose other 500 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 9: than you know, going kinetics. So as a result of that, Yeah, 501 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 9: there's a distinct possibility that's this, you know, Jasock. I 502 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 9: don't know about typical soft units, the lower tier three units, 503 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 9: but I definitely think you know, JASO combined with you know, 504 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 9: maybe some of the agency's assets or some of the 505 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 9: you know, counter narco assets within homeland. Yeah, they're they're 506 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 9: going to be ramping up their their mission profiles for sure. 507 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: Where does this go? All right? So we're I know 508 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: you're trying to analyze this in general, but what do 509 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: you think the true end goal? Marco Rubio is very 510 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: very well informed with what's been going on in Venezuela 511 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: former senator obviously now a Secretary of State, So I 512 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: would imagine that he's driving a large degree of this 513 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: inside of the White House. If the Trump team had 514 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: their ability to sort of waive their magic wand what 515 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: would they like to see happen in Venezuela. We know 516 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: they have unbelievable I think it's Chevron, primarily oil and 517 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: gas assets that used to be American owned. There have 518 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: been reports that Maduro basically is bending the knee and saying, 519 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: whatever you guys need, I'll give back to you in 520 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: terms of oil and gas assets. Is it any kind 521 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: of negotiation with him or do you think he has 522 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: to be gone in order for there to be any 523 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: sort of reconciliation between the United States and Venezuela. 524 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 9: Play That is the thousand dollars question right there right 525 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 9: And I think Mark Rubio is a great guy to 526 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 9: be doing this. He's been so integrated into the Central 527 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 9: South American political landscape as or you know, his Cuban 528 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 9: ancestry and just where he positions himself and has been 529 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 9: for years. So I think he's a great guy. I 530 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 9: think they're riding this incredible high of negotiations right now. 531 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 9: Obviously the Ukraine Russia one is the one that escapes them, 532 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 9: but I think there might be a real willingness to, 533 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 9: you know, come in and try and negotiate some type 534 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 9: of deal, uh to to put the fires out, so 535 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 9: to speak, and that would be relative to regaining some 536 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 9: considerable you know, uh leverage on the oil industry because 537 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 9: that's the heartbeat of their whole country. However, you know, 538 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 9: you've got a very staunch influence coming from China again. 539 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 9: You know, I was looking up the numbers just you know, 540 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 9: this morning, and it's pretty staggering what they've been doing. 541 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 9: So if they feel like they their exports can be 542 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 9: maintain pain through their China relationship or the Bricks relationship 543 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 9: or whatever that might be, I think there, you know, 544 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 9: Maduro might be willing to stave off any of the 545 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 9: economic pressures that he's already been doing so far. But 546 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 9: I just think there's such a momentum. I mean that 547 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 9: that piece deal in Israel, I mean that is more 548 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 9: significant than anything I think we've seen in a long 549 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 9: long time. And the fact that you know, Machada wanted 550 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 9: to give her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump. You know, 551 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 9: there's this unique relationship that's been formed there. So I 552 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 9: think it's some kind of either deal with with like 553 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 9: you said, with the oil industry or some of those, 554 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 9: but it's also I would imagine pressure to hold new 555 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 9: elections with some perhaps some un oversight that that would 556 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 9: be something that would be truly a monumental feat for 557 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,959 Speaker 9: Rubio in his team of of you know, the newly 558 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 9: found ability to have diplomacy in our state department, which 559 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 9: is a pretty awesome thing to see. 560 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 5: Right, Just promise me that you're not going to do 561 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 5: a air Quote guy Weekend in air Quotes Columbia or 562 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 5: Sanna and he like, don't get any ideas, buddy, Okay, 563 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 5: we need you to keep doing the podcast. 564 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 9: But you saw what happened the last time the Green 565 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 9: Beret guy went down there and tried to do it right. 566 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 9: And you know what was kind of funny, which is 567 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 9: kind of this hidden story a lot of people don't 568 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 9: talk about, is you know they the last administration tried 569 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 9: to pin that on a bunch of Trump loyalists right 570 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 9: FBI investigations. They tried to really connect some true Trump 571 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 9: loyalists people that are involved in the government now to 572 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 9: participating and kind of that you know, random like Kamakazi 573 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 9: We're going to take down. It was almost like a 574 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 9: bush League bay of pigs for Yasco. For the grouping. 575 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 3: It was like an a these action movie plot, but 576 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 3: it was real. 577 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 9: It was totally real. And I have a lot of 578 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 9: friends that had to go talk to the Bureau as 579 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 9: a result of that. And so I don't know. I mean, 580 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 9: I I I think the population is ripe for some influence, 581 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 9: but I don't, I don't know. Man, it seemed like 582 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 9: the military really coalesced around him to go after you know, 583 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 9: the opposition or whatever you want to call it, after 584 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 9: those elections, you know, and we saw Brazil was able 585 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 9: to do that. You know, a lot of these other 586 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 9: kind of socialist countries were able to do that. And 587 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 9: so what I think it is is how are they 588 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 9: so confident that they can, you know, repress those uprisings? 589 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 9: And I think it's about a money issue. So where 590 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 9: is Venezuela getting the money to pay for their soldiers 591 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,959 Speaker 9: at scale in support of knocking down these these you know, 592 00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 9: organic uprisings, internal and organic with quotations obviously. 593 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 5: You're just getting a little taste here, everybody of the 594 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 5: David Rutherford Show, So go check it out of the 595 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 5: Claybuck Podcast Network this weekend.
