Here's Homeland Security Secretary Christinoum. 7 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 4: Today's a bad day to be a terrorist in the 8 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 4: United States of America. Today the Supreme Court came out 9 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 4: with a decision that reaffirmed President Trump was correct in 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 4: using his authority on using the Alien Enemies Act to 11 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 4: deport terrorists out of this country. 12 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 3: Attorney General Pambondi saying tonight's decision is a landmark victory 13 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,959 Speaker 3: for the rule of law. An activist judge in Washington, 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: d C. Does not have the jurisdiction to seize control 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 3: of President Trump's authority to conduct foreign policy and keep 16 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 3: the American people safe. 17 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 5: So the big headline that landed yesterday was from this 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 5: is from the New York Times. The Supreme Court is 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 5: allowing the Trump administration to use a wartime power law 20 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 5: to deport Venezuelan's uh yeah. 21 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: The reporting on Supreme Court decisions especially fairly technical preliminary 22 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: decisions like this is absolutely as bad as the economic reporting. 23 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: You were always griping about the dire indoor reporting on 24 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: dire wolves on ABC, for instance, or NBC. Ah, yeah, 25 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: yeah it is. You might as well not hear the report. 26 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 5: Okay, awesome. I glad you're going to fill us in. 27 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 5: Because I didn't pay attention to this story. 28 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: I find myself in a place of profound discouragement Jack. 29 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: I was doing all my right through. 30 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 5: I was doing all my research on ancient wolves, so 31 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 5: I didn't have time to look into the Supreme Court. 32 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: Somebody go get me my scotch. I need to, you know, 33 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: screw my courage to the sticking place I just did. 34 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 5: Did you see that on the third story on sixty 35 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 5: minutes Sunday Night about oak barrels and whiskey. 36 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: I did not. You should watch it. It'd be up 37 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: your alley. 38 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 5: It's all about the importance of oak barrels and how 39 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 5: they continue to be as big a deal as they 40 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 5: ever were. 41 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 2: And it looked it made me, it made me want 42 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: to drink whiskey. Wow. 43 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: Necessarily great, But yeah, boy, I do enjoy my scotch 44 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: in the evening anyway. So it was a five for 45 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: Supreme Court ruling on Monday that lifted the lower court's order. 46 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: You've heard about this judge, what's his name, Boburg or 47 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: something like that, Bohsburg. 48 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: That's right, Who's Washington d C. Judge and lefty. 49 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: Anyway, he had said, you got to stop sending Venezuelan 50 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: gang members to that Salvador and maximum security prison under 51 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: the Alien Enemies Act. 52 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 5: I'm looking at the videos of that. Why do they 53 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 5: march everybody around pushing their head down? 54 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: Are they all that bad? It must be a crowd 55 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: of bad guys. 56 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: And nobody can like mount or resistance in that posture. 57 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: I know it looks incredibly uncomfortable, especially as an older fellow. 58 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: So anyway, but the. 59 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: Five to four Supreme Court ruling yesterday lifted the judges 60 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: order blocking the deportations, but in a note that I 61 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: find very encouraging for reasons i'll explain, the court also 62 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: said the detainees were entitled to notice that they were 63 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: being removed under the wartime measure and an opportunity to 64 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: challenge their deportations before a federal judge in Texas, because 65 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: that's where they are in the immigration lock up, where 66 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: they're being held they cannot go before District Judge James 67 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: Boseburg in Washington, d C. And get a favorable ruling anymore. 68 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: So it absolutely is a affirmation of the Trump administration 69 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: what it had been doing. But it also said, and 70 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: I think this is absolutely appropriate, Hey slow down and 71 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: give these people due process, because we give everybody due process, 72 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: whatever that happens to be in the specific day. 73 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 5: So Scarborough was saying this morning on Morning Join MSNBC, 74 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 5: he said, smacked down by the Supreme Court for Trump, 75 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 5: and I thought, okay, this is interesting. This is the 76 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 5: opposite of the way I saw the headline yesterday he said, 77 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 5: in those headlines that we heard to start the segment, Yeah, 78 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 5: he said, with all nine justices saying he needs to 79 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 5: go through due. 80 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: Process for these people. So that that's correct, that's accurate. 81 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I mean that's a one sided interpretation 82 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: of what was done. On the one hand, it was, yeah, 83 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: you have this power under the Wartime Act as far 84 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: as we can tell, but everybody has to go through 85 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: due process. So it was, you know, a little peanut butter, 86 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: a little jelly if you will, I. 87 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 5: Don't know, a little league coach here and there, and 88 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 5: ship them off to one of the worst prisons in 89 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 5: the world. 90 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 2: Omelet Eggs. 91 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: I appreciate your finally wrought sarcasm, sir, but I tell 92 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: you what. Looking into the case of the one Salvadoran 93 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: fellow who was alleged to be a member of MS thirteen, 94 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: different gang and got shipped off, and now there are 95 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: a couple of suits and cases going on, and the 96 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 1: judge ordered that he'd be brought back. Really interesting legal 97 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: fight going on over that. I dug pretty deeply into 98 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: it yesterday, including reading the transcripts of the actual case, 99 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: and it was a serious mistake. I don't see any 100 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: good evidence that the guy was an MS thirteen member. 101 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: In fact, as a boy, a young boy, he was 102 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: brought to the United States because the gang thing was 103 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: so ugly where he lived, and they were trying to 104 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: compel him to join the gang. For reasons that are 105 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: a little complicated. His parents had a business. They're being 106 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: extorted by the gangs, blah blah blah, horrible, and it 107 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: was like, we need, we need young men in our gang. 108 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: It'd be a shame of something happened to your business. 109 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: So they said, you know, terrified and and grief stricken. 110 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: Send the boy to live with his aunt and uncle 111 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: in the US because this is too dangerous. He's never 112 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: been accused of anything, he's never been arrested for anything. 113 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: He had one informant who said he associates with quote 114 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: unquote MS thirteen guys. Now it could be that that's true, 115 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: and if he's an active MS thirteen guy, bring him back, 116 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: go through due process, then ship his ass out. But 117 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: here's here's the thing. And if you do not share 118 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: this principle with me, we can't be friends. We have 119 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: got to every time tell the government before you take 120 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: away somebody's liberty or their property or their life, you 121 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: prove to whatever level is appropriate. Because criminal law, civil law, 122 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: immigration law, they all have different standards, which is fine, 123 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: but you've got to prove to that standard that what 124 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: you're doing is justified. Because if we the people start 125 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, going soft on well, he was an allegal immigrant, 126 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: therefore we can do anything we want with them, even 127 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: though he's been here for years and has an America 128 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: wife and American children. It's very close to I said, 129 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: they came for the Jews, and I said nothing. They 130 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: came for the Catholics, and I said nothing, et cetera. 131 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: We've just got to have that in place, even when 132 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,559 Speaker 1: it's annoying and time consuming. Now, does that include somebody 133 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: who sneeze across the border and the border patrol grabs 134 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: them right there. 135 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: No turn around, boot their ass out. That's fine. Man, 136 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: that's a horrible story. 137 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 5: That reminds me of the Clint Eastwood movie Grand Tarino, 138 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 5: where that poor kid was being you know, they're trying 139 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 5: to force them into the gang. Yeah, you know, your 140 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 5: parents don't want their kids to be in the gangs. 141 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 5: But man, what an awful situation. 142 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 143 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: So, I actually think this is a pretty balanced ruling. 144 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look into it more. It's interesting because there 145 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: have been three very similar cases, each of which has 146 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: been five to four. But Justice Roberts and amy Cony 147 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: Barrett's votes are very much in play, and she dissented. 148 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: Amy Cony bar did at least in part and joined 149 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: the three liberals on the case. And I have a 150 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: feeling it is one of the most sacred conservative principles. 151 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: And that is the big stupid bureaucracy. A government doesn't 152 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: get to f with the people without really good reasons, 153 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: and just because it's and I know I'm going against 154 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: the grain here of a lot of talk radio. But 155 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: just because it's a group that you don't have a 156 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: lot of sympathy for, you give away that principle. And 157 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: we don't have a country. We don't have our country 158 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: anymore anyway. Enough said, So. 159 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 5: You could portray it if you want to do, like 160 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 5: a drive by media they've brought back the dire Wolf 161 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 5: sort of headline. You could portray this as good news 162 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 5: for the Trump administration or bad news for the Trump administration. 163 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can keep doing it, but 164 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: you've got to be more careful. 165 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 2: That's what the ruling said. 166 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 5: By all nine justicials. You got to follow due process. Yeah, 167 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 5: which I got promo with that greatest country on Earth. 168 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: Simply safe home Security wants to help you with the 169 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: problems of progressive law enforcement policies that would be decriminalized 170 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: in crime, letting junkies set up camps in your neighborhood, 171 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: the rest of it.

Yeah, 214 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 5: meet the chicken jockey. Tiny, rare and totally ununhinged unless 215 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 5: you're a diehard Minecraft fan. That's where it comes from 216 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 5: the movie. The term chicken jockey might sound like an 217 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 5: odd combination of barnyard animal and rodeo event, but in 218 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 5: Minecraft lore, this rare and quirky creature is something of 219 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 5: a digital unicorn, a baby zombie writing a chicken. Its 220 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 5: in game appearance is staggeringly rare, just a point to 221 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 5: five percent chance if no chickens are nearby, and a 222 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 5: point five percent chance if they are when you were 223 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 5: playing Minecraft. 224 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 2: But it little better with the presence of chickens. 225 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 5: Every once in a while, it will just show up, 226 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 5: and then it's very, very exciting. I guess then all 227 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 5: of a sudden, you got a chicken jockey in your 228 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 5: little Minecraft scenario that you're dealing with while you're playing 229 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 5: your video games. So I mentioned I played this yesterday, 230 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 5: you can start it. My son was at the movie 231 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 5: theater with all his friends opening night for Chicken Jockey 232 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 5: and he gets his phone out here let's listen, So 233 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 5: everybody says chicken Jockey at the same time and collapse. 234 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 5: And the fact that my son had his phone out 235 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 5: already is I don't even know. 236 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 2: What that is doing. It was coming and everything, but it's. 237 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 5: Grown and it's become a thing. Here's the latest version 238 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 5: of it, a different theater. People going wild, throwing things, 239 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 5: jumping around, police having to come, people. 240 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 2: Being leased, police coming, people being escorted out of theaters. 241 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: And then people chanting and singing at them as they're 242 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: dragged out. 243 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 2: Right. 244 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 5: So I'm just just letting you know because this is 245 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 5: I'm guessing that's enough of that, Michael. I'm guessing that 246 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 5: this weekend it is going to reach its zenith, would 247 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 5: be my guess, and then it will go away forever. 248 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 5: But it's going to be mayhem in the theaters. So 249 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 5: just be prepared if you're sending your kid or going 250 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 5: with your kids, Like if you're going with a younger kid, 251 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 5: we're prepared to have popcorn thrown on your head when 252 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 5: the chicken jockey appears. 253 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm watching the strange mating rituals of 254 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: the ostrich or something like that. These are humans and 255 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: this is something they do. 256 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 5: This this article in The Economic Times is really good 257 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 5: divided fandom, hilarious hype or public nuisance. 258 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: I'll have to do a deep dive on that. I 259 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 2: don't know which it is actually. 260 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: I just feel like The Economic Times is way out 261 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: of its lane. 262 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: But whatever.

I wish I could find it. 310 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 5: It was so good. I talked about it on the 311 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 5: air a lot about calculating what your time is worth 312 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 5: and thinking about that on a regular basis. 313 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 2: Oh, I remember. 314 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 5: Bird flu, bird flu coincidental thinking about what your time 315 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 5: is worth.

You should either hire somebody to do or something, 318 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 5: because you would never take that job for the amount 319 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 5: of money that you're getting paid, which is nothing. But 320 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 5: you would never take that job before even a decent 321 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 5: amount of money, because no, I'm not gonna spend my 322 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 5: Saturday X, you know, driving to Best Buys to try 323 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 5: to get my computer fixed.

That's the hot thing right now. 340 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: You got to get a jockey involved. 341 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty. 342 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 6: The reason we're not talking about tariffs with Russia is 343 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 6: because we're not doing business essentially with Russia because they're 344 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 6: in a war and I'm not happy about what's going 345 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 6: on with. 346 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 2: The bombing. 347 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 6: Is a bombing like crazy right now. I don't know 348 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 6: what's happening there. That's not a good situation. So we're 349 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 6: meeting with Russia, we're meeting with Ukraine, and we're getting 350 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 6: sort of close, but I'm not happy with all the 351 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 6: bombing that's going in the last week or so. 352 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 5: So Trump once again in the Oval Office yesterday with 353 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 5: Benjamin nuttyaw who took some questions, and that. 354 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 2: One about the. 355 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 5: Peace process between Russia and Ukraine. I don't know if 356 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 5: a peace process exists in any way. Actually they're trying 357 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 5: to get one started. Unless he starts saying even stronger 358 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 5: things about Russia. There is no leverage against Russia. Why 359 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 5: would they quit? No him, So that's that one. And 360 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 5: then the other hot spot in the world is Iran, 361 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 5: and he was asked about that. 362 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 7: We're having direct talks with Iran and they've started. It'll 363 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 7: go on Saturday, we have a very big meeting, or 364 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 7: we'll see what can happen. And I think everybody agrees 365 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 7: that doing a deal would be preferable to. 366 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 2: Doing the obvious. 367 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 7: And the obvious is not something that I want to 368 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 7: be involved with, or frankly that Israel wants to be 369 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 7: involved with if they can avoid it. So when going 370 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 7: to see if. 371 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 5: We can avoid it, and the obvious is what he 372 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 5: talked about last week, which is a bombing the likes 373 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 5: of which they have never seen or the world has 374 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 5: never seen, or some language like that. 375 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yeah, Well. 376 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: That's that's well put, it's well stated. I think he's 377 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: one hundred percent right. It's going to be a hell 378 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: of a tough nut to crack. The Iranians are among 379 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: the best at appearing to cooperate and sign a deal 380 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: meanwhile continuing their efforts, but Trump knows that well. 381 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 5: There are various claims that Iran is just days from 382 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 5: being able to put together a nuclear weapon and then 383 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 5: that changes everything in the Middle East. So the difference 384 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 5: between this and the Russia thing is obviously the leverage 385 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 5: of he has stated out loud, We're going to bomb 386 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 5: the crap out of you. If you don't, we will 387 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 5: take out your nuclear program if you don't agree to, 388 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 5: you know, pare it down to something that's only about energy. 389 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 5: So that don't have that leverage with Russia. Yeah, and 390 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 5: why don't we have that leverage with Russia because they 391 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 5: have nuclear weapons. 392 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 2: That's why you don't want Iran to get nuclear weapons. Yeah, 393 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 2: they have the most nuclear weapons. Yeah, I would. 394 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: I would say that's exactly the right bargaining posture with Iran. 395 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: Anything else is just fantasy land. 396 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 2: Well, that'll be exciting. 397 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 1: You think he comes to a deal with him, or 398 00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: do you think the bombs fly? 399 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? 400 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 5: I think we end up bombing us in Israel. 401 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 2: How certain are you? I don't know. I'm over fifty percent. 402 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 5: But I also can't come up with why Iran wouldn't 403 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 5: realize at some point Jesus, what is what? What advantage 404 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 5: do we get out of getting bombed back through? 405 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: Uh? 406 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:31,239 Speaker 2: Have enough? Yeah? The only thing that we won't let 407 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 2: This is what I'm certain of. 408 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 5: We will not let Iran get Trump will not let 409 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 5: Iran get a nuclear weapon. Biden said that, but would 410 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 5: have let them get a nuclear weapon rather than bombing 411 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 5: and Obama. 412 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: Obama was so in love with his own diplomatic skills 413 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: he was not a realist. 414 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 2: Trump will not let them get a nuclear weapon. Yeah, yeah, 415 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 2: uh yeah. 416 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: I think I agree with you about the most probable results. 417 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see unfold. 418 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 2: Oh. 419 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: What I started to say was the only wild card 420 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: that Westerners must always remind ourselves of, which is why 421 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: I harp on this so much. 422 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 2: Islamism is willing. 423 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: To sacrifice virtually anything to bring on the ultimate victory 424 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: of Islam, and there's a particular sub sect that's well 425 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: represented by the Mullahs that believes the only way to 426 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: bring on the I don't want to get too theological, 427 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: but the coming of the great and glorious day is 428 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: through cataclysm, through utter chaos, the battle for the universe 429 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: and the hearts of mankind. So I guarantee you there's 430 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: a faction Iran that says, oh, bring on the horrifying 431 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: attack from the infidels. That's exactly what we need to 432 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: galvanize the Islamic world. 433 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 5: And anytime you unleash the dogs of war, you don't 434 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 5: know what's going to happen. That's always been the case 435 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 5: throughout history. 436 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very true. 437 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: So speaking of Islamism, a couple of headlines, leadership crisis 438 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: is compounding the decline of the Palestinian cause. Uh Hamas 439 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: is is devastated, and and and Fatah. 440 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 2: If you're not into. 441 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: This, they're the like, more political, more reasonable leadership that's 442 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: mostly on the West Bank for the Palestinians, but they're 443 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: utterly corrupt and completely ineffective. So you know, you're beleaguered 444 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: Palestinian folk. They get to choose between the lunatics of 445 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: Hamas and the fat, thieving bureaucrats of Fatah, and no 446 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: third alternative has has arisen. And after you know, the 447 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: failings of yes or Era fat and just everybody who's 448 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: claimed to be their leader, who was the jackass, who 449 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 1: was the latest to hold negotiations then back out at 450 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: the last second when they had a great deal. 451 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: Mack Mudubas, Yeah, yeah, exactly. 452 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, there's there's They're in miserable, miserable shape, And 453 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: I think this is a pretty good description. The Gaza 454 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: strip is in ruins. Many residents might leave orb be 455 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: pushed out. Following the war sparked by October seventh attacks, 456 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: Palestinian territory in the West Bank is divided by ever 457 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: expanding Israeli settlements. Middle East countries have been building ties 458 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: with Israel and allies such as Iran and the Lebanese 459 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,959 Speaker 1: militia Hesbola were battered by Israeli attacks last year. Palestinians, meanwhile, 460 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: are fighting with each other, caught between violent groups such 461 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: as Hamas and the nationalist Fatah. 462 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah, which we were just describing. 463 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: You know, if you were if this was some sort 464 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: of simulation in a political science class and putting aside 465 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: the names and you know all and you were asked 466 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: as a student, when you're looking at this trend line, 467 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: what do you think is the most likely, uh, you know, 468 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: set of developments, looking say five years down the road. 469 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: I think any student worth the damn I mean, Jack, 470 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: you can jump in here if you want, if you 471 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: want to answer that question. My answer would be, uh no, 472 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: those people are headed for a complete defeat and either 473 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: assimilation with the new ruling party or they will be 474 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: pushed aside and go find somewhere else to live. 475 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 5: And decimating people is not what we do in the 476 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 5: modern world, so it'll be interesting to see if that 477 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 5: happens like the old timey days, where you actually just 478 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 5: completely defeat your enemy to the point that they can't 479 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 5: mount a offensive against you anymore. We don't do that anymore. 480 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: Well, And as I pointed out a couple of weeks ago, 481 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: read a great think piece and shared in on the air, 482 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: there is no case in history last several hundred years 483 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: where one neighbor has launched an unprovoked attack on its 484 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: neighbor and lost that it did not lose its land. 485 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 5: Of course, sovereignty, of course, it seems like the obvious 486 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 5: end to that sentence. 487 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: So it's this bizarro conceit of the polite pinking the 488 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: air modern world that, oh, well, they launched a deadly 489 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: and horrifying attack, including the murder of babies and rapes 490 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: and the rest of it out of nowhere, and we've 491 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: defeated them. But we must now go and live side 492 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: by side and seek a to state solution. Though that's 493 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: never happened in human israe. 494 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 5: So I learned something interesting the other day journalist Douglas Murray, 495 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 5: if you know his act, he's on a Lex Friedman's podcast, 496 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 5: and he's done a lot, spent a lot of time 497 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 5: in Israel and Gaza over the last you know, since 498 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 5: October seventh, then before. But he explained it in a 499 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 5: way I hadn't heard before about how Net and Yahoo 500 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 5: and the Israeli government was asleep at the switch that 501 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 5: allowed October seventh to happen. Now a lot of the 502 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 5: Net and Yaho are Net Yaho haters have portrayed it 503 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 5: as like some sort of evil deal he had made 504 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 5: with Hamas or something like that, something untour. Douglas Murray's 505 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 5: take on it was just that they had become convinced Net, 506 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 5: Yahoo and most of the Israeli government had become convinced 507 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 5: that Hamas no longer meant what they. 508 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: Said, that they had become decadent. 509 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 5: They had Israel had allowed them to accumulate so much 510 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 5: wealth and comfort that they were not the kind of 511 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 5: thread anymore that they used to be.

No, no flipping away, And they. 526 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: Did well, and especially under the Obama and Biden years, 527 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: the greatest superpower on earth was ordering them stop acting 528 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: like there's an attack imminent, wars im and a you 529 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: gotta live side by side two state solution blah blah blah. 530 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: And then Europe, you know, one to hear other, big important, 531 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: influential you know groups was saying exactly the same thing. 532 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: And they'd look over there and think, you know, they 533 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: are living pretty good lives and they say they're just 534 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: gonna govern now and not be a militant organization. There'd 535 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: be a hell of a temptation to believe it. 536 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 5: And the other thing Douglas Moore Murray points out, which 537 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 5: everybody points out, is Gaza is just rubble. Now, it's 538 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 5: a whole bunch of people and rubble.

We are not certain how long 628 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: the season of my battle will be, and I do 629 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: want to share and reshare some things with the world 630 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: that I passionately believe I write all of this is 631 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: my living wish and hopefully enduring wish for you. Let 632 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: me tell you about the America I know. My parents 633 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: immigrate into the United States with ten dollars in their 634 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: pocket and a belief that the America they heard about 635 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: really did exist as the land of opportunity. Through hard 636 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: work and great sacrifice, they achieved success. So the America 637 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: I came to know growing up was filled with all 638 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: the excitement found in living the American dream. I was 639 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: taught to love this country warts and all, and I 640 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: understand I had a role to play in our nation's future. 641 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: I learned to passionately believe in the possibilities and promise 642 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: of America. Then she talks a lot about watching her 643 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: mom and dad work our odd jobs to provide for 644 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: the kids and the education that they got. 645 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 5: God, I hate to turn this negative, but that's what 646 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 5: I do. It makes me nuts that there are so 647 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 5: many children of privilege on college campuses. I mean, you 648 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 5: grew up an upper class lifestyle. Now you're at an 649 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 5: expensive university and you're down and sad in our anxiety medicine, 650 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 5: and became angry because you believe the country's so off 651 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 5: awful and you can't make it right? 652 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 2: Oh right? 653 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: That just to me, You know, I don't hands are 654 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: the devil's playthings. That just shows the corrosive power of 655 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: lack of purpose and anyway, and this part I love too. 656 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: Watching my mother and father work at odd jobs in 657 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: order to provide for us and maintain their independence taught 658 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: me valuable lessons and personal responsibility. When tough times came, 659 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: they didn't look to Washington. They looked within because the 660 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,720 Speaker 1: America they knew was centered in self reliance. The America 661 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: I know is founded in the freedom self reliance always brings. 662 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: What makes America great is the idea that when government 663 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: is limited and decisions are made. 664 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 2: Closest to the people they impact. 665 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: People are free, free to work, free to live, free 666 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 1: to choose, free to fail, and free to achieve. The 667 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: America I know provides everyone an equal opportunity to be 668 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: as unequal as they choose to be.
