1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: The Charlie kirkshow starts. 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 2: Now we have paused all asylum adjudications, and then of 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 2: course the special immigrant pieces, which we know many Afghans 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 2: utilized to come into the country under the Biden administration 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 2: have also. 6 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 3: Now been paused. 7 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 4: It's incredibly important for viewers to know what the prior 8 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 4: administration was doing when it comes to vetting, especially when 9 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 4: it came to this operation. Allies welcome. This vetting was 10 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 4: paper thin. They weren't doing biometric betting. They weren't really 11 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 4: doing criminal vetting, criminal screening, cyber screening, financial crimes. They 12 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 4: weren't cross referencing, they weren't looking at social media. So 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 4: President Trumbn's Secretary Nome have completely overhauled this process to 14 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 4: make sure we're diving in deep and seeing who are 15 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 4: the people who are actually entering this country. 16 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 5: Find them. 17 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 6: For a fact, bo these Afghanistans, the ones that landed 18 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 6: here and Dulles Airport, came with no docutation on not 19 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 6: even an ID, and nothing from their homeland. 20 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 5: If we're going to try to find those. 21 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 6: Documents, which they really don't exist, you're going to take 22 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 6: them from the talent band. You're going to make talibands. 23 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 6: You want to give us the intelligence information we need 24 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 6: to bet these people it's ridiculous. 25 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 5: They weren't properly vetted. 26 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 6: They inspect your general d D and DHS said it 27 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 6: several times. The Joe Biden Lives and American People, along 28 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 6: with Alaham de. 29 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: Mari Orkis Secretary nomannounced tonight she's recommending that travel band 30 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: widens and covers more countries around the globe. Special immigrant visas, 31 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: which we know many Afghans have used to come into 32 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: our country. There has been a complete suspension and pause 33 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 2: on all of those. I would just remind people around 34 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 2: the world that coming to the United States of America 35 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: is a privilege, it is not a right. And if 36 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: you abuse that privilege, and if you don't align with 37 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: the values of the United States, and you don't respect 38 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: our country, our culture, our laws, and our people, you 39 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: are not welcome here. 40 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 7: PDS needs to resign, and if he doesn't resign to Altrump. 41 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 3: Needs to fire him. 42 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 7: He is a walking, talking national secuity embarrassment. He seems 43 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 7: more interested in winning video pull up contests than he 44 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 7: does in protecting this nation. He's obsessed with the weight 45 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 7: of his soldiers. The facial hair of his soldiers. Not 46 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 7: concerned with actually keeping the country safe. 47 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 8: He's putting out on the internet turtles with rocket propelled 48 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 8: grenades kill. I mean, have you seen this. 49 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 9: This is the Secretary of Defense. 50 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 8: This is not a serious person. 51 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 9: He should have been fired. After Signal Gate. 52 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 2: President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have made it clear that 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: presidentially designated narco terrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting 54 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: in accordance with. 55 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,399 Speaker 10: The laws of war. 56 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 2: With respect to the strikes in question. On September second, 57 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. 58 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law 59 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and 60 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: the threat to the United States of America was eliminated. 61 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: The President has a right to take them out if 62 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: they are threatening the United States of America. 63 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 11: Elected Democrats have been saying it's okay to disobey orders, 64 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 11: that's the first step. But what we saw happen this 65 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 11: weekend through some of those same elected officials was to say, 66 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 11: basically to military men and women, look out, you might 67 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 11: get prosecuted. 68 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 8: We released a video with a simple message to service 69 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 8: members that they must refuse illegal orders. Nothing was controversial 70 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 8: about that. The President of the United States said that 71 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 8: two US senators and four members of the House of 72 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 8: Representatives should be arrested, hanged, executed for something we said. 73 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 8: President Trump is trying to silence me, threatening to kill me. 74 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 11: This is not the language of will them in the 75 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 11: next election or will win the argument. This is the 76 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 11: language of a color revolution, where you're calling on military 77 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 11: men and women to disobey orders. The Democrats have completely 78 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 11: lost the plot here and the American people, I think. 79 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 9: See that. 80 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 11: But it's a very dangerous road to go down here 81 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 11: to say you should be disobeying orders because we don't 82 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 11: like Trump. 83 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 12: When I met with the President, I made very clear 84 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 12: that these kinds of raids are cruel and in Jumaine, 85 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 12: that they are raids that do nothing to serve the 86 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 12: interests of public safety, and that my responsibility is to 87 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 12: be the mayor to each and every person that calls 88 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 12: this city their home, and that includes millions of immigrants 89 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 12: of which I am one. 90 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 13: That, Charlie, every day is a battle for your mind, 91 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 13: information coming from every angle, but the will to the 92 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 13: sieve fear not. 93 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 14: You found the place for truth, the voice and a 94 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 14: generation that still has the will to believe in the 95 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 14: greatest country in the history of the world. This is 96 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 14: the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a lot. 97 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 15: Here we go on. 98 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: All right, Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It is Tuesday, 99 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: December seconds joined here in studio of at Blake Neff. 100 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: I am Andrew Covid, executive producer of this show. Lots 101 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: of news this morning. There was a big Pentagon briefing, 102 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: which I think made more news because of who was 103 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: covering it. Our friend Jack Pasoba was in the room, 104 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: James O'Keefe, many others because of the new media I 105 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: guess guidelines where the legacy media self deported themselves from 106 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: the Pentagon. So there was a briefing this morning. Jack 107 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: pisobc notably asked if they were considering a court martial 108 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: for Senator Mark Kelly. The answer was every is on 109 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: the table. And that is sort of linked to some 110 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: of the main coverage that we're going to get into 111 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: here this morning. There is news that there is a 112 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: well it's about ten days old. Uss Ford has been 113 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: in the waters in the Caribbean outside of Venezuela. There 114 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: is concern I think in Maduro's inner circle that the 115 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: US is about to potentially oust him from power within Venezuela. Meanwhile, 116 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: you have the Venezuelan Cartel Narco trafficking boats that have 117 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: caused a huge controversy, namely with Pete Hegseth. It seems 118 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: as if Blake that there is a growing I would say, op. 119 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: But they are coordinating their efforts. Democrats are to hopefully 120 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: get rid of Pete Hegseth, and their hope, not my hope, 121 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: to get rid of Pete Hegseth. I think that effort 122 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: will fail, but it described this dynamic of what's going 123 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,799 Speaker 1: on right now with Pete Hegseth. 124 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 16: Well, what's interesting is so we discussed this yesterday. What 125 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 16: happened is there in September, this was reported by the 126 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 16: Washington Post that insane September, they've been doing these strikes 127 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 16: on drug boats coming from Latin America towards the United States, 128 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 16: I should say alleged gunboats or drug boats, and that 129 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 16: in September they identified one of these. They told Hegseeth 130 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 16: about it because he's the one of us to approve 131 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 16: strikes and that according to The Washington Post, he not 132 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 16: merely approved a strike, but said basically kill them all 133 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 16: in some way. And so they struck the boat. It 134 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 16: sinks and breaks apart. But when they're observing it afterwards, 135 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 16: they see that some people on the boat are alive 136 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 16: and clinging to wreckage, and rather than leave them there 137 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 16: or rescue them and arrest them or whatever you would do, 138 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 16: they drop another strike on them. 139 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and we have image two oh eight here. It's 140 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: just from the New York Times. So that original story, 141 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: the double tap story that they're alleging as a war crime. 142 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: It was reported by the Washington Post. Now the New 143 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: York Times has issued a follow up reporting that reads 144 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: that basically is a giant rebuttal to it. New York 145 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: Times says, according to five US officials who spoke separately 146 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: and on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters 147 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: that are under investigation, mister Hegseth, head of the September 148 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: to attack, ordered a strike that would kill the people 149 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: on the boat and destroy the vessel in its purported 150 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: cargo of drugs. But each official said mister Hegsa's directive 151 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: did not specifically address what should happen if a first 152 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: missile turned out not to fully accomplish all of those things. 153 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: And the official said his order was not a response 154 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: to surveillance footage showing that at least two people on 155 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: the boat survived the first blast. Admiral Bradley, the other 156 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: character in this saga, ordered the initial missile strike and 157 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: then several follow up strikes that killed the initial survivors 158 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: and sank the disabled boat. As that operation unfolded, they said, 159 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: mister Hegseth did not give any further orders to him. 160 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: So this is a direct rebuttal that to the original story, 161 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: which suggested that Pete Hegseth was sort of in the 162 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: room pulling the levers, ordering the strikes, a follow up 163 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: double tap, as you call it, to kill survivors. Now 164 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: the New York Times is saying there was an initial 165 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: directive that it should be a lethal strike, and then 166 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: Admiral Bradley was the one who was actually directing those. 167 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: Now Pete Hegseth has come out and said Admiral Bradley 168 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: has one hundred percent of his support, that he stands 169 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: by him, that America is lucky to have somebody of 170 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: his stature and ability in the position that he's in. 171 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: But this is all part of a broader effort by 172 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: Democrats to now go after So. 173 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 16: What's interesting here is what some have speculated on. And 174 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 16: I don't know if we'll learn more about this, But 175 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 16: what's really crazy is this all happened just in the 176 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 16: days after we had that very strange video they drop 177 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 16: where they're sort of implying you might get illegal orders, 178 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 16: not saying anything in particular, and they're very evasive when 179 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 16: they're confronted about it. They are going on TV and saying, 180 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 16: you know, I don't I don't know of any specific 181 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 16: illegal orders, but you know, we're just you know, hypothetically, 182 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 16: if hypothetically anything were to occur, and they're taking that pose, 183 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 16: and suddenly this drops. And these people in this US 184 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 16: senators are not in law made, are not unaware of 185 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 16: what is going on. They have contacts with reporters, especially 186 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 16: friendly reporters, and one of them, Slotkin, it's like a 187 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 16: CIA veteran and such, and so they it seems very 188 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 16: possible they may have known this story was coming and 189 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 16: they were essentially it was all a process to seed 190 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 16: this story to talk about oh, illegal orders, you know, 191 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 16: possibly coming out and then bam, here'shto story saying there's 192 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 16: illegal orders, and now they've got their preferred framing. And 193 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 16: you know, you could say this is an attempt to 194 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 16: bring down heg Seth, but it's much more than that. 195 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 16: It's an attempt to bring down the administration because they 196 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 16: don't want heg Seth's scalp here and just oh you 197 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 16: slot in a new guy. What they want. They actually 198 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 16: want that whole defy orders thing. They want to delegitimize 199 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 16: and break down the apparatus of government for this administration 200 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 16: because if they can't, you know, if the National Guard 201 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 16: just starts defying the president, that you're at a constitutional 202 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 16: crisis point where the administration can crumble. 203 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: Well, and it's it's important to note I first of all, 204 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: I completely agree. I believe this was coordinated. This isn't 205 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: orchestrated op, and it's a pr op. It's also deadly 206 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: serious because we'll play this clip in just a bit, 207 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: but you know, Senator Eric Schmidt is basically saying that 208 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: this has all the hallmark hallmarks of a color revolution, 209 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: of seating the ground for that. And then what was 210 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: interesting is this story has played out is I kept 211 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: expecting because they got caught with egg on their face. 212 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: They've admitted that that they're not alleging anything has been 213 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: illegal thus far necessarily, but then they will allude to 214 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: these drug boat strikes, right, So then I kept watching 215 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: and expecting them to fall back and say, well, whoa, whoa, 216 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: And Mark Kelly and Slotkin and some of the others 217 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: have gone on a full tour of pr I mean 218 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: they're hitting CNN, MSNBC, writing op eds, doing social media videos, 219 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: and that was I think the tell is that they 220 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: keep diving in, drilling the story deeper and deeper and deeper. 221 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: And then you have Mark Kelly yesterday who gives a 222 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: whole press conference which was just wild. He alleges that 223 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: Trump was trying has threatened to kill him, but then 224 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: when pressed, was forced to admit that, you know, he 225 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: wasn't actually speaking about any specific thing one nine two. 226 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 8: Who this president is and who this Secretary of Defense 227 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 8: is is, and specifically things that the President has said 228 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 8: in the past and things he was. 229 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 3: Talking about doing in the future. 230 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 8: So we were looking forward to try to head something 231 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 8: off at the pass that. 232 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 3: Could have been really, really bad. So it wasn't about 233 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 3: this specific thing. 234 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: It wasn't about this specific thing. And I just want 235 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: to make one other point really clear, and I tweeted 236 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: about this yesterday. No one threatened to kill Senator Mark Kelly. 237 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: Telling the military to refuse orders is the controversy. They 238 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: started it, Mark Kelly and Elisa Slotkin and all they 239 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: they are the ones that started it with their insane video. 240 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: What the President was doing was simply pointing out the 241 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: seriousness of seditious behavior. He was pointing to the fact that, yeah, 242 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: if you are guilty of these things, one of the 243 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: punishments is the death penalty. That's just a fact. And 244 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: the White House even later confirmed that President Trump was 245 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: not calling for him to be killed. He was pointing 246 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: out that this was a serious offense. Mark Kelly has 247 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: spent years in uniform. He knows full well that calling 248 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: a mass refusal of military orders is illegal. 249 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 16: It reminds me of at the start of the first 250 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 16: Trump administration, where it would be something and they would 251 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 16: just there was like, you know, the Trump administration, like 252 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 16: when Flynn was you know, possibly you know, talks to 253 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 16: the Russian ambassador and they're like, oh, well, he he 254 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 16: maybe implied a diplomatic concession here. My gosh, the Logan Act, 255 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 16: the Logan Act that carries infinity years in prison in 256 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 16: the maximum penalty. 257 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: No, exactly, we do this. 258 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 16: The press does this all the time. Someone gets charged 259 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 16: with something with a max some them of eight hundred years. 260 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they get like an administrative you know, 261 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: slap on the wrist or something. But this is what 262 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: drives me nuts, is he is playing the victim. And 263 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: why simply because the chain of command is being reasserted 264 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: by those who are actually in charge, those who actually 265 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: have power, namely Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the 266 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: President of the United States, the commander in chief. So 267 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot going on here, and there's a broader 268 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: conversation that I want to get to that I think 269 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: is actually happening, and that is a reassertion of the 270 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: Monroe doctrine. Blake. But we'll see, we'll see if you 271 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: agree with me.

President Trump's threat 330 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: of military action has confronted President Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela 331 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: with the gravest challenge of his crisis ridden rain yet. 332 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: And so basically the story goes on to report that 333 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: he's upped his personal security with a bunch of Cuban 334 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 1: guns for hire, that his personal security has been ramped up, 335 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: but he's trying to save face in public by acting 336 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: like everything's fine. He's doing TikTok videos of him crashing 337 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: a wedding and dancing with people and all kinds of stuff. 338 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: So he's trying to put on a strong and a 339 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: brave face. However, behind the scenes, he's terrified that President 340 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: Trump is about to oust him for power, which brings 341 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: up a whole larger conversation, geopolitical in nature, about should 342 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: we be meddling in Venezuela at all. 343 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 16: I certainly don't think Charlie would be enthusiastical. 344 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 345 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 16: I think we've had we've been through this pattern. I 346 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 16: I will admit I suspect toppling Venezuela would be not 347 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 16: as bad as toppling Libya or Afghanistan. Latin Americans don't 348 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 16: have quite the same history as Middle Easterners of going 349 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,959 Speaker 16: doing insane terrorism, suicide terrorism, you know, for the nihilistic 350 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 16: love of it. They don't have radical Islam. All of 351 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 16: those are in play. There's more of a legit opposition 352 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 16: movement in Venezuela. All of those things I think would 353 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 16: make it easier and less damaging. But I think at 354 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 16: the same time, we've just seen this bill of goods before, 355 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 16: of it'll be really easy in and out, in and 356 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 16: out in five minutes. It'll be really cheap, really easy. 357 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 16: And how often has that really played out? Even in 358 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 16: wars we've won, it hasn't necessarily played out the way 359 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 16: we expect it. 360 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, and you've got to imagine that they have. 361 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: There's been behind the scenes discussions. We've we know for 362 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: a fact that President Trump and Nicholas Maduro have spoken, 363 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: Maduro being the the dictator of Venezuela. And the the 364 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: interesting part here is you've got Maria Karina Machada, who's 365 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: the opposition leader. Now, remember when she was she dedicated 366 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: it to President Trump. 367 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 16: She certainly knows, she certainly knows how to make a sell. 368 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you have to imagine that there was there 369 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: was optics involved, there, there was a strategy involved from 370 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: her perspective. Now, a lot of international watchdogs suggest that 371 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: she actually won the election and that Nicholas Maduro sol it, 372 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: which does seem to be true. And so you do 373 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: kind of wonder are there underlying realities on the ground 374 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: in Venezuela that would sort of seem to your point 375 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: that it would seem to suggest that if Madua was 376 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: taken out of power, that there would be a nucleus 377 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: of power and influence within that country that could assume 378 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: power in a more constructive way. Now here's the thing 379 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I totally agree with you. I think Charlie 380 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: would be against this because listen, we have domestic issues 381 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: that we need to need to address head on. Now 382 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: here's the argument for this. Now, I think that the 383 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: admin is playing a little bit of three D chess. 384 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: I do, and I don't mean to. I know that 385 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: we use that expression in it's cliche, but I do 386 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: think that under the president of President Trump's administration, we 387 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: have seen a reassert of the Monroe doctrine, right, this 388 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: Western Hemisphere centric foreign policy, where hey, we're going to 389 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: we're going to take back control of the Panama Canal. 390 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: We're going to strike key alliances with people like Bucele 391 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: and El Savador. We're going to reassert dominance within South America, 392 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: right our Malay friendship that we've struck up, the leader 393 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: of Argentina. So this you do sort of see the 394 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: makings of this. Now, the other piece I will say 395 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: is that Venezuela and Cuba work hand in hand. You 396 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: see this the fact that Cuban guards are now part 397 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: of the private security detail for Nicholas Maduro. You see 398 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: it with the sharing of intelligence. Now people don't know this, 399 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: but the Cuban intelligence is one of the most formidable 400 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: in the world. Basically, they have no exports, they have 401 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: no goods besides you know, cigars, They used to have sugar, 402 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: a crazy thing. 403 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 16: Something like twenty percent of Cuba's population has apparently left 404 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 16: since about twenty nineteen. Really, it's a really messed up country, 405 00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 16: more so than people realize. 406 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: Think you're right, and and but one of their exports 407 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: that they sell to places like Venezuela is intelligence. So 408 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: they've they've infiltrated in a lot of places within the 409 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: lower forty eight. They know stuff that Venezuela wants to 410 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: pay for, right and other places. So that's another piece 411 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: a dynamic here is that if you, if you do 412 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: topple Venezuela, if you do, if you Maduro and you 413 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: put in this Maria Karina Machado, get regimes, two regime 414 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: changes which probably will not blow up in our faces 415 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: at all, because we've learned our lesson. I just I 416 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: actually kind of don't think that that's what they're going for. 417 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: I think President Trump is trying to do the carrot 418 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: and stick. He's he's saber rattling to get Nicholas Maduro 419 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: to leave on his own. 420 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 16: I liked the idea of just give him five hundred 421 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 16: million dollars and he can go live wherever. And what 422 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 16: stink says, we'd have more credibility on that if we'd 423 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 16: stuck to our guns with Goadafi instead. 424 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 5: Yeah. 425 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a press in the past. It's there's a 426 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: reason not to trust our our our foreign policy promises. 427 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna have Mychael Knowles join us next. Help make 428 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: sense of all of this and more.

Both Democrats and Republicans were 450 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 17: raising concerns about how the strike was carried out. In 451 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 17: the meantime, the White House claims the second strike was 452 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 17: in self defense and accordance with laws governing armed conflict. 453 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 2: Secretary Heigseeth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. 454 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 2: Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law 455 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 2: directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and 456 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 2: the threat to the United States of America was eliminated. 457 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 17: Republican Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi's promising a thorough investigation 458 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 17: of the matter.

Good to see you. 500 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 3: What's going on? 501 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 18: Man? 502 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 5: Good to be here. 503 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask you about Catholicism. 504 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 16: I think we should we should ever read, we should 505 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 16: ever read the Pope? After six months? 506 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: Oh, we can get there. 507 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 10: Ask me about on text? Can you ever want to 508 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 10: talk about it? 509 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: That's all I want to talk about. Now we could well, Okay, 510 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: Blake's gonna ask you to grade the Pope in uh 511 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: in just a few minutes. 512 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 16: Here carrying baseball bats on planes. 513 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: There was an IF dance party, there was an ice 514 00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: ball yes. But Knowles first question. Okay, So this is 515 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 1: actually where we're going to start, and I want you 516 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: to sort of make sense of our political moment that 517 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: we find ourselves in. There is all this consternation about Venezuela, 518 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: about Pete Hegseth, and you know where these war crimes 519 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: was there? Double tapped? The New York Times seems to 520 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: suggest it's not. It does have this feeling of a 521 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: of a messaging op sort of. They roll out this 522 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: this suspicious video, the seditious six is there, there is 523 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: They're being labeled, and then all of a sudden we 524 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: get this whole inquiry into the Venezuelan cartel, narco trafficking, 525 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: you know, strikes. What do you make of this moment? 526 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: Why are they so fixated on Pete Hegseth. They've been going. 527 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 10: After Pete Hegseth since before the guy was confirmed. I mean, 528 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 10: let's not forget this. You know, a lot of us 529 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 10: know Pete, not just people who are friends with Pete, 530 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 10: but who have watched Pete every morning on Fox News. 531 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 10: And you know, he's been a public figure for a 532 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 10: long time, and more than any other member of this cabinet. 533 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 10: The Democrats seemed absolutely voted to Torpedo being him before 534 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 10: he came in as Secretary of War. And so to me, 535 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 10: if I didn't know anything else about Venezuela Iran, anything 536 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 10: about the military, if all I knew is that this 537 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 10: guy was the chief target in the cabinet for the Democrats, 538 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 10: I would be defending him wholeheartedly. Now, on top of that, 539 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 10: you've had a very very effective military strategy under Trump, 540 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 10: recruitment way up, getting a lot of the woke out 541 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 10: in terms of the policy. The military itself then obviously 542 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 10: very very successful military operations in the Middle East. Now 543 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 10: we're looking at operations in Latin America. So I think 544 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 10: he's doing a very good job generally. But I just 545 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 10: take it simply on a rule of thumb. If he's 546 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 10: the guy they want to take out, he's probably the 547 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 10: guy I'm going to be defending. 548 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly been my posture as well. It's like, 549 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: we must be over the mark here with Secretary of 550 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: HeiG Seth because they want to get him out so badly. 551 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: But this is part of this larger there's two Basically 552 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: at this point we diverge in a wood, right there's 553 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: two main through lines narratives that are going on right 554 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: now. Now there is this we had the National Guard attack, 555 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: the ambush by an Afghan refugee, and that brings up 556 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: this whole foreign policy conversation in and of itself. But 557 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: then meanwhile there's all this intrigue around Venezuela. Are we 558 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: going to strike? Are we going to you know, we're 559 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: moving carriers into the region, and MAGA and the base 560 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: typically has been postured in a way that says, we 561 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: don't want to get involved in any more foreign entanglements. 562 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: We don't want blood and death overseas. We want to 563 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: focus domestically. What would you like to see play out 564 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: in the next days and weeks ahead when it comes 565 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: to Venezuela specifically, and then we'll get into our own 566 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: immigration debate that we're also having. 567 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 10: Yeah, I love the way you put it, Andrew, because 568 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 10: it's kind of a confounding issue for MAGA. If the 569 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 10: question were about some never ending regime change war in 570 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 10: the Middle East or Africa or something, I think MAGA 571 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 10: would be unified say we don't want that at all. However, 572 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 10: this is a little different because this is much closer 573 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 10: to home. The Munroad doctrine, which says America runs the 574 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 10: Western Hemisphere, has been our official policy since eighteen twenty three. 575 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 10: This involves a direct threat to Americans, which is all 576 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 10: the drugs that are coming largely from Venezuela and specifically 577 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 10: to foreign terrorist organizations that are associated with the regime kills 578 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 10: over seventy five thousand Americans a year. It also involves 579 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 10: hard resources. One of the funniest things about President Trump's 580 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,959 Speaker 10: foreign policy is how open he is. 581 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 16: He says, you know, we. 582 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 10: Didn't go to war for oil in Iraq, but we 583 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 10: at least should have gotten the oil. You know, natural 584 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 10: resources really do matter, and you know this is our hemisphere. 585 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 10: So I think it's a little diceier on what Americans 586 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 10: are thinking about it. Look, the ideal scenario is you 587 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 10: completely destroy the narco terrorists, You wage a real war 588 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 10: on drugs, meaning you blow up all the guys who 589 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 10: were smuggling the drugs in and killing American kids. You 590 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 10: take a hostile dictator who is partnering up with a 591 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 10: lot of our enemies, and you replace them with someone 592 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 10: who's maybe a little friendlier to us. And maybe that 593 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 10: also helps the energy market too. That's what everyone wants 594 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 10: in the ideal. The question is can they pull this 595 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 10: kind of thing off. I think they're going to get 596 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 10: a lot more grace from the base in terms of 597 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 10: actions in Latin America. The only question is does the military, CIA, 598 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 10: whatever the US government, do we have a serious plan 599 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 10: in place to replace Maduro if they actually want regime change. 600 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 10: Because there's two views of the CIA. One is James Bond, 601 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 10: Jason Bourne. You know they control everything. They're super efficient. 602 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,719 Speaker 10: The other one is burn after reading like everything the 603 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 10: CIA tries to do turns to ash. 604 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 5: And gets worse. 605 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 10: And those are that's the debate right now. What is 606 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 10: really going on here? All I will say on this 607 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 10: I favor a much more restrained foreign policy that is 608 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 10: much closer to home, that involves much more direct American interests. 609 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 10: All I will say with Trump is he has the 610 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 10: most effective foreign policy of my lifetime, probably including George H. W. Bush, 611 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 10: And so I'm willing to give the guy a little 612 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 10: bit more grace here because he just hasn't bungled it 613 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 10: all up like Clinton did, like George W. Bush did, 614 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 10: and certainly like Obama and Biden. 615 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 16: What strikes me as another factor in this is well, 616 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 16: we've had a lot of people come from Venezuela that 617 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 16: drove a lot of the migration pressure in all the 618 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 16: way back to Obama's administration into the first Trump into Biden. 619 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 16: And I think defenders of this would justify this that 620 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 16: if we topple this regime, it actually might help our 621 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 16: migration issue. A lot of Venezuelans might go home, if 622 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 16: you're correct. And it took down Cube as well, some 623 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 16: Cubans might go home. Although Cubans have mostly integrated great, 624 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 16: but I feel like a lot of our other interventions 625 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 16: have done the exact opposite. Twenty years in Afghanistan. We 626 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 16: have to fight them over there, so we don't fight 627 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 16: them over here, and in fact we are fighting them 628 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 16: two blocks from the White House now, Yes, And it 629 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 16: strikes me as a reasonable worry. Does another intervention in 630 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 16: Latin America somehow have this side effect where we just 631 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 16: have illegal immigrants massing at the border again? 632 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think it's a that's the key 633 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: of worry that I have. Actually, are we going to 634 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: spark another humanitarian disaster where we see massive flows of 635 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: migrants from South America in Cuba specifically. A lot of 636 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: people look at Cuba and Venezuela together. There's a New 637 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: York Times story this morning, Michael that suggests that Maduro 638 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: now has augmented his private security detail with a bunch 639 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: of Cubans Cuban soldiers up coming, perhaps because he doesn't 640 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: trust his own Venezuelans to have his back. But there 641 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: is a very direct connection between Venezuela and Cuba. They 642 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: are basically, you know, conjoined at the hip here and 643 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: so the question is would we get a mass exodus 644 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: of people from this region? I tend to not think so. 645 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: I do tend to think that a lot of that 646 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: migration has already happened. And we also have President Trump 647 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: in office, who's going to block a lot of it. 648 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 1: You know, if we had a Democrat in the White House, 649 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: we would see a lot more of that. The question 650 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: is does it meet the standard that Knowles is talking 651 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: about of the Monroe doctrine? Is it close enough to home? 652 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: Will the base react to it? Will they reject it? 653 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: That's I think, namely, we have a political. 654 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 16: I'll remind you the Monroe doctrine was not just we 655 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 16: dominate every country last hemisphere. It was keeping foreigner Europeans 656 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 16: at the time. Imagine you could count Chinese today and 657 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 16: Russia Russia of course out of the hemisphere, not influencing it. 658 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: And yeah, well you saw this in Panama, right, the 659 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: Panama Canal. President Trump goes in and reasserts US dominance 660 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: over the canal, which was being taken over by China. Actually, 661 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: and so we were getting treated very poorly in the canal. 662 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: So let's switch our attention here, Michael. We're kind of 663 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: doing hopscotch here on topics. But the other main story 664 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: is the president and now Christin Nome Pambondi coming down 665 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 1: hard on Third World migration. Now, I made a prediction 666 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: that this was going to be President Trump's most popular 667 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: policy plank yet, and I mean including the wall, including 668 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: the southern voter. And we had Rich Barrison yesterday who 669 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: he's doing polling on this, and the initial results seemed 670 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: to indicate that this is in fact very, very appealing 671 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: with the base. So you've got these a confluence of 672 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 1: two different stories, foreign policy, which is always a snake 673 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: pit full of vipers, full of surprises, full of backlash 674 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 1: for the president in the administration, and you've got his 675 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: hardline immigration stance. Can these two co exist? Will the 676 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: base be able to make sense of it? 677 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 18: Yeah? 678 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 3: I think so. 679 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,720 Speaker 10: Obviously it's going to be very popular because this issue 680 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 10: has two things that really combine to make a great, 681 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 10: winning political issue. It's something that everyone agrees on and 682 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 10: something that everyone feels like they can't say you've ever 683 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 10: had things that immigration that you have to be for 684 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 10: all of it or against all of it, or make 685 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 10: no distinctions whatsoever. And obviously that's ridiculous. You mentioned the 686 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 10: Cubans earlier. Cubans tend to assimilate. They're quite patriotic, they 687 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 10: play baseball, they vote Republican. You know, when we're talking 688 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 10: about Latin American immigration, the Cubans there are right. I 689 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 10: like the Cubans, Okay, other immigrant groups less so. In America, 690 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 10: we used to severely restrict immigration, and we would have 691 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 10: some immigration from I don't know, say England. Then we 692 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 10: started to take German migrants in the nineteenth century, and 693 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 10: you know, it's a little harder to assimilate German migrants, 694 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 10: but it was okay. Then we took some of the 695 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 10: swarth the Italians from you know, North Africa basically basically 696 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 10: worked out other than the Pelosis of the world, but 697 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 10: it was a little harder still to assimilate them. Now 698 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 10: you look at third world immigration post nineteen sixty five 699 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 10: Heart Seller, and you have to ask yourself, what do 700 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 10: Somalis add to America? And that's the naughty question that 701 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,760 Speaker 10: nobody wants to ask, But it's a very serious question 702 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 10: because the point of immigration is to make our country better. 703 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 10: And if people are unassimblable radically different cultures, different religions, 704 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 10: different habits, different everything. I think we have the right 705 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 10: to say no thanks. You know, we have an obligation 706 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 10: to our own citizens. Everyone knows this, everyone feels like 707 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 10: they can't say it, and so if Trump is the 708 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 10: one who's gonna finally articulate it, it's going to be 709 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 10: a winner. 710 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think you're right. I think that that point 711 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: you made about it's the thing that we all feel 712 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: and think and see, but we're not allowed to say 713 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: it out loud. I mean, we say it out loud 714 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 1: on this show all the time, and you probably do 715 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,439 Speaker 1: as well. But like for NORMI Americans, this is sort 716 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: of like, you know, it's uncouth, it's not polite to 717 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 1: say these things out loud. But we have to get courage, 718 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: we have to get a backbone, start standing up for 719 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: what we all know to be true. We want to 720 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: live in America that feels like America again, that feels 721 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: like the country that we grew up in, and it's 722 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 1: simply more and more does not. And there's a reason 723 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 1: for that. It's because we have had a completely catastrophic 724 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: immigration platform for years. More with Michael Knowles, when we 725 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: get back, we're going to talk about Catholicism all right, 726 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: we'll do it. We'll do it just for Blake. We'll 727 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: be right back. 728 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,720 Speaker 19: Better than anyone in the country. When a government politicizes 729 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 19: and weaponizes their power to go after average, everyday Americans, 730 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 19: well from you the top of the apiest president, but 731 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 19: all the way down to ranchers in South Dakota, the 732 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,320 Speaker 19: Maud family who were facing jail time over a fence 733 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 19: line dispute that had been in their family for one 734 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 19: hundred and thirty years. 735 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 9: We fixed that. 736 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 19: A family, the Henry family in New Jersey, who were 737 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 19: facing their farm being taken away for imminent domain to 738 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,760 Speaker 19: give to affordable housing, we fixed that. So being able 739 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 19: to completely change the trajectory of private property rights, but 740 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 19: especially as it has to do with our farmers and 741 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,800 Speaker 19: ranchers in our rural communities, changes everything for our country. 742 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 19: And then the third thing. We have so much straight 743 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 19: things to talk about at USDA, But the third thing, 744 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 19: which became very much a part of the national conversation 745 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,240 Speaker 19: during the Democrats shutdown, was snap reform, food stamp reform. 746 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 19: When all of America saw what so many of us 747 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 19: know and have been working on. But when you have 748 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 19: so much rampant fraud in a program that forty two 749 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 19: million Americans participate in. Now, big good piece of news 750 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 19: that I hope has written about. Since you became president, 751 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 19: about eight hundred thousand of those forty ti million have 752 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 19: moved off of food stamps, which is hopefully the plan 753 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 19: with better jobs, higher wages, et cetera. But still, when 754 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 19: we've found one hundred and eighty six thousand dead people 755 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 19: or dead people's Social Security numbers being used, five hundred 756 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 19: thousand people receiving benefits more than twice, we had a 757 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 19: couple of people receiving benefits in six states. In February 758 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 19: of this year, we asked for all the states for 759 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 19: the first time to turn over their data to the 760 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 19: federal government to let the USDA partner with them to 761 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 19: root out this fraud, to make sure that those who 762 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 19: really need food stamps are getting them, but also to 763 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 19: ensure that the American taxpayer is protected. Twenty one states 764 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 19: said yes. Twenty nine states said yes, not surprisingly the 765 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 19: Red states, and that's where all of that data that 766 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 19: fraud comes from. But twenty one states, including California, New York, 767 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 19: and Minnesota the Blue states, continue to say no. So 768 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 19: as of next week, we have begun and will begin 769 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 19: to stop moving federal funds into those states until they 770 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 19: comply and they tell us and allow us to partner 771 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 19: with them to root out this fraud and to protect 772 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,319 Speaker 19: the American taxpayers. 773 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,720 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. Michael 774 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: Knowles is with us. Who is I believe you hail 775 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: from the state of Tennessee. Michael, Now these days got it? 776 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: I would be remiss if I didn't mention Tennessee's seventh 777 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: the special election today, which is Matt Van Epps, the 778 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: Republican going running against Afton Ben who's basically a raging 779 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: communist feminist like unhinged lady. Actually, it seems like we 780 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,760 Speaker 1: had so get out and vote. If you find yourselves 781 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 1: in Michael Knowles's area of the world, please please please vote. 782 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to add anything to that, Knowles, 783 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: but the floora Jersey, I. 784 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 10: Do I do one to read a rate. You gotta 785 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 10: go out and vote. This woman has her ads blasted everywhere. 786 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 10: She's run a pretty good campaign. She is cartoonishly on 787 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 10: a platform of hating Nashville and the people in it 788 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,399 Speaker 10: and like everything that makes America great. And she might 789 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,839 Speaker 10: win it is a complete dead heat race right now. 790 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 10: The margin of error is four points and it's a 791 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 10: two point race. This should not be a two point race. 792 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 10: If things go south here, not only will it be 793 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 10: bad for this district around Nashville, this could mean a 794 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,240 Speaker 10: blood bath in the midterms. Go out there, vote, voter, eally, 795 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 10: vote often. You know what to do. 796 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: You know what to do. Get out there and vote. 797 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: Help save the Republic. Blake, you're catholic. Michael's Catholic. I'm not. 798 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna let you guys take this one. 799 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 16: Yeah, I guess I was thinking we were. We thought. 800 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,839 Speaker 16: It's been about six months, yep, since we got Pope Leo, 801 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 16: the first American pope, and I feel overall we don't 802 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 16: hear as much about that as I would have initially thought. 803 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 16: I would have thought that there would be a lot 804 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 16: more at ten on him, and yet it seems, if anything, 805 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 16: he's less famous than Pope Francis. Even in the United States. 806 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 16: He has popped up a few times, he's been he's 807 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 16: certainly said stuff we find annoying on some of the 808 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 16: migration immigration issues. He's occasionally had some friction with Vice 809 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 16: President Vance of course, since the vice president is Catholic 810 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 16: as well. But yeah, I guess I would throw that 811 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,839 Speaker 16: to you. Michael, how do you evaluate the pope at 812 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 16: about six months and what's his relationship with American Catholics 813 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 16: who are mostly on the right politically on immigration and 814 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 16: a lot of issues. 815 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 10: I was thrilled when I heard the name that he picked. 816 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 10: He picked Leo. I was pulling for Leo. I actually 817 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,439 Speaker 10: predicted it right before they picked it, and I didn't 818 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 10: know anything about the guy, but I really liked the name. 819 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 10: I thought it was a good sign. Popblio the thirteenth, 820 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 10: Poplia the Great. This is good stuff, and I think 821 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 10: he's lived up to a lot of our hopes. Obviously, 822 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 10: there's always something to complain about. I love the traditional 823 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 10: Latin Mass. I wish the bishops would stop suppressing the 824 00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 10: Latin Mass, you know, I hope that happens. But compared 825 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 10: to the last Pontificate, I think a lot of people 826 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 10: are breathing not just a sigh of relief, but a 827 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 10: sigh of joy. And then I don't know if you 828 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,800 Speaker 10: guys caught it. You know, over just a few days ago, 829 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 10: the Pope was in Constantinople leading the Eastern Orthodox in 830 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 10: the Our Father in Latin, praying for full communion for 831 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 10: all baptized Christians, wanting to heal the East and the West, 832 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 10: bring everybody back together. He tore a mosque, refused to 833 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 10: pray in the mosque, unlike some other popes I John indicated. 834 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 16: I think John Paul the Second even prayed at a mosque. 835 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 16: He was the first one to do so, and that's weird. 836 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 16: I have to imagine Francis probably would have also prayed, 837 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 16: and I think they were in the blue mosque in. 838 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: What's the deal with this? This ice ball? What was 839 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: this about the ice ball? 840 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 10: You know, people made a big deal about it. I agree, 841 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 10: you know, it's kind of silly for people to focus 842 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,399 Speaker 10: on climate change or whatever. Now, I will point out 843 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 10: there's nothing unusual about a priest blessing water. You know, 844 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 10: we call it holy water. 845 00:44:58,440 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 16: It's not. 846 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 10: But I think it's also what happens here. Yeah, you 847 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 10: know a lot of these events were booked before Pope 848 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 10: Francis died. I don't know whether that was true of 849 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 10: the global warming thing, but a lot of them are. 850 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,839 Speaker 10: There was even a papal and cyclical that's come out 851 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 10: because the Francis had started it, and then he died 852 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 10: and Leo finished it. So some of this stuff is 853 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 10: a little bit of a holdover from the Francis pontificate. 854 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 10: And obviously there are plenty of things to rankle American 855 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 10: political conservatives, you know, in some of the ways that 856 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,840 Speaker 10: the Pope has spoken about immigration. But I'll also point 857 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 10: out the Pope came out and he said on immigration, 858 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 10: nations are allowed to have borders. No one says that 859 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 10: nations can't decide who comes in and out. You just 860 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 10: got to be nice to people, basically, And so I 861 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 10: think for people who want to have a problem, including 862 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,480 Speaker 10: especially traditional conservative American Catholics, they're always going to find 863 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 10: something to have a problem with. But broadly speaking, I 864 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 10: think that the Pope Leo respectors defenders, you know, hopers, 865 00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 10: have been quite vindicated so far, which is good because 866 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 10: Pope Leo could be Pope for like twenty years. 867 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 1: Blake, are you satisfied with that answer? 868 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 16: We'll see, We'll see. It's very interesting because I got 869 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 16: so used to, especially with Francis or Bennett, you'd always 870 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 16: have that translation barrier where the Pope would say something 871 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 16: and you'd have to say, oh, well, the Pope. You know, 872 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 16: he really meant this and it didn't translate. Great, and 873 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 16: now we just have a pope who is a native 874 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 16: English speaker and just commenting in English on things, and 875 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 16: we'll actually still get that or they still say, oh, 876 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 16: well the pope actually if you if you know the 877 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 16: historical context behind me. 878 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: I take a very acumenical view of these things. As 879 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 1: you know, Michael, I as a cradle Catholic who ended 880 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: up finding faith in college through a Protestant tradition. I 881 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 1: love I love all Christians. I'm I'm pro Christian, pro Catholic, 882 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: and I want the Catholic Church to be healthy. Envirobrants. 883 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 10: Yeah, God bless you, Michael Knowles Andrew. I don't know 884 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 10: if I ever told you this. It was some Protestants 885 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 10: who helped bring me. 886 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 1: Back to We'll see that set hour two coming up next. 887 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 17: There are a lot of politicians who should be getting 888 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,399 Speaker 17: coal in their stocking for Christmas, but the Birch Gold 889 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 17: Group thinks that as a smart planner, you deserve silver. 890 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,280 Speaker 17: And that's why for every five thousand dollars you purchase 891 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 17: between now in December twenty second, the Birch Gold Group 892 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 17: will send you an ounce of silver, which is up 893 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 17: over sixty percent this year.

You may remember the cases against the 967 00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:37,920 Speaker 17: duo fell apart last week after federal judge dismissed the charges, 968 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 17: saying the Trump Justice Department violated the Constitution and federal 969 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 17: law by appointing Lindsay Halligan his interim US attorney. Halligan 970 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,319 Speaker 17: ultimately brought the charges against Comy and James, which were 971 00:51:50,360 --> 00:52:02,320 Speaker 17: eventually dismissed.

And 1001 00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 16: now now opinions are turning back against it. And you 1002 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 16: really helped pave the way for that. Alex. 1003 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 9: It's me it's gonna be interesting debate. But yeah, I 1004 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 9: am glad to see that. And I mean, it's funny 1005 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 9: with Charlie. You know. Maybe it's because I was you know, 1006 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 9: I was gonna text Andrews. You know, maybe it's because 1007 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,839 Speaker 9: he didn't go to college like his His instincts were 1008 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,319 Speaker 9: so good on so many things. And they were good 1009 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,440 Speaker 9: on COVID, and they were good on the you know, 1010 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,600 Speaker 9: the m RNA's, and they were good on pot. Like 1011 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 9: he just got it. And so yeah, I'm I'm happy 1012 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,240 Speaker 9: to be there.

Alex. And you've got this huge story out. 1017 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 1: It's a huge bombshell allegation. Uh. And you can fill 1018 00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 1: us in on the details, but you're sub stack urgent. 1019 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:51,480 Speaker 1: A young child died of cardiac arrest after being jabbed 1020 00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 1: during Maderna's key COVID vaccine trial. What's going on here, Alex. 1021 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 9: It's really interesting because so you know, I've been writing 1022 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,360 Speaker 9: about the m R and as for like five years 1023 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,360 Speaker 9: and and that stories actually believe it or not. I 1024 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,239 Speaker 9: wrote it in January, okay, and this is one of 1025 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,319 Speaker 9: these things. Like I wrote it, I thought it was 1026 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,839 Speaker 9: super important, and you know, the Biden administration was still 1027 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 9: in office. Uh and uh, you know, they they they 1028 00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,759 Speaker 9: didn't care turnat declined to comment and you know, let's 1029 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 9: freaking some attention a little bit then, but it mainly 1030 00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,200 Speaker 9: just sat there. But what happened is the last Friday, 1031 00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,960 Speaker 9: the new FDA, the FDA under you know, RFK Junior 1032 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,480 Speaker 9: and Trump. There's a guy named Vani Prasad who's the head, 1033 00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,840 Speaker 9: really the head vaccine regulator, and he wrote a memo 1034 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 9: to his staff saying, we've reviewed, you know, a number 1035 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 9: of cases where vaccines, you know, were linked to deaths 1036 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,920 Speaker 9: of people, of children and teenagers age seven to sixteen. 1037 00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,480 Speaker 9: He said, we've looked at ninety six cases and we 1038 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,799 Speaker 9: found at least ten where there's a real connection in 1039 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,320 Speaker 9: the you know, in the view of our reviewers. Okay, 1040 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:58,799 Speaker 9: and we think there's a lot more than that, and 1041 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 9: they're probably were you need. There probably are a lot more, 1042 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,680 Speaker 9: but we're being very conservative. We're saying there are these 1043 00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:07,360 Speaker 9: ten deaths, and you know, and and so I so 1044 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 9: I went back and I said, look, guys, you know, yes, 1045 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,399 Speaker 9: there are a lot of deaths, but guess what. There 1046 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,960 Speaker 9: was even a death of a child in Moderna's own trial, 1047 00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 9: and they basically hid that for almost three years. They 1048 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,960 Speaker 9: disclosed it in one place that I happened to know 1049 00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,880 Speaker 9: has like really comprehensive data, which is not the FDA, 1050 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,680 Speaker 9: it's actually the European Drug Regulator, and they put it 1051 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,800 Speaker 9: up there basically knowing that nobody was ever going to 1052 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,680 Speaker 9: look at it. And I and I, you know, because 1053 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:41,680 Speaker 9: this is what I do. I spend my days reading databases. 1054 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,919 Speaker 9: Uh uh, you know that that that nobody is looking 1055 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:49,399 Speaker 9: at I found this. And so there was this debt 1056 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,239 Speaker 9: and what's even worse, and and they released sort of 1057 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,520 Speaker 9: no specific information except saying that this was a preschool 1058 00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 9: aged child, a two to five year old age child 1059 00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,840 Speaker 9: who suffered cardiorects inpictory arrest and died. All right, So 1060 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,360 Speaker 9: they you know, they these vaccines. 1061 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,839 Speaker 18: Were approved for children, you know, both from Pfizer and 1062 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,440 Speaker 18: Maderna in uh in late twenty twenty one and twenty 1063 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 18: twenty two, and there was a big giant push, you know, 1064 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,720 Speaker 18: with with ad campaigns and every you know bit of 1065 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,920 Speaker 18: legacy media and every public health person saying go get 1066 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 18: your kids vaccinated. 1067 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:31,320 Speaker 9: From these trials show that the vaccines did almost nothing 1068 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 9: to stop infections in kids. Okay, that's a b. It's 1069 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:41,320 Speaker 9: are at tiny risk of serious injury or death from COVID. 1070 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 9: And three when you so you look at the clinical 1071 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,920 Speaker 9: trial data from the trials themselves, Okay, you see that 1072 00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,919 Speaker 9: the kids who got vaccinated, who got the shots, had 1073 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,959 Speaker 9: many more side effects. They had high fevers, they had, 1074 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:58,000 Speaker 9: you know, infections, they had pain and in some cases. 1075 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,240 Speaker 9: One weird thing is for some and there seem to 1076 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:06,560 Speaker 9: be diabetic complications sometimes from vaccines and kids, meaning you 1077 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,880 Speaker 9: can actually see cases of type one diabetes, which is 1078 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:15,080 Speaker 9: basically supposed to be a genetic disease developing after vaccination 1079 00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,760 Speaker 9: in some kids from the mRNAs and all this stuff 1080 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,520 Speaker 9: was out there, and the DA the Biden administration they 1081 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,040 Speaker 9: did nothing about it. Places like the New England Journal 1082 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,920 Speaker 9: of Medicine they did nothing about this. It's so it 1083 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 9: makes me so angry. No kids should have been vaccinated 1084 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,920 Speaker 9: with this, and European countries by about but really by 1085 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 9: twenty twenty two they were much stricter about what they 1086 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,600 Speaker 9: were doing for kids and young adults. But the vaccine 1087 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 9: fanatics in this country wouldn't let this go and they 1088 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,480 Speaker 9: have done so much damage because look, I am in 1089 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,520 Speaker 9: favor and you know, maybe some people who are watching 1090 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,600 Speaker 9: this or not, but I'm basically in favor of stuff 1091 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,320 Speaker 9: like the measles vaccine. I think that's an important vaccine 1092 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 9: and yes, there may occasionally be side effects, but it's 1093 00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:00,600 Speaker 9: much lower. We know how that works, and I understand 1094 00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:02,320 Speaker 9: there maybe some parents who don't want to get their 1095 00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:08,800 Speaker 9: kids vaccinated against measles. But what we've done is frightened 1096 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:13,200 Speaker 9: parents about all vaccines, frightened parents into not getting their 1097 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,360 Speaker 9: kids routinely vaccinated anything for stuff that might be more 1098 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,200 Speaker 9: dangerous with vaccines that worked a lot better. And it's 1099 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:20,200 Speaker 9: just disgusting to me. 1100 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's interesting. So you were I saw you 1101 00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 1: responding to somebody on Twitter as is a Jonathan Laxton, 1102 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 1: MD said the death occurred in a child with chronic 1103 00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 1: respiratory failure one hundred and forty four days post dose 1104 00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,400 Speaker 1: and was reported with the first results March twenty twenty five. 1105 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,520 Speaker 1: It's not a vaccine death. I won't request an apology. 1106 00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,040 Speaker 1: And you said, Nope, that's not the case. Could you 1107 00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,680 Speaker 1: reply to this guy two minutes left in this segment? 1108 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 9: Absolutely? So this death happening like twenty late twenty twenty two, 1109 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 9: twenty twenty three. And what you need to know is 1110 00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 9: that the only people that. 1111 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 20: Real information about what happened are inside the company. Okay, 1112 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 20: and move quote unquote dependent investigator. But the way it 1113 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,959 Speaker 20: works is the company takes the first pass and. 1114 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 9: They say, you know what, we think that this child 1115 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,720 Speaker 9: might have been sick before, and so we'll think the 1116 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,280 Speaker 9: vaccine caused this against what the stuff that that guy's 1117 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 9: talking about, that's a booth. Okay, that's four years before 1118 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,760 Speaker 9: this job was healthy. And how do I know the 1119 01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,200 Speaker 9: chrial's is healthy because. 1120 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,680 Speaker 21: The title of the trial is a vaccine trial in 1121 01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,600 Speaker 21: healthy children. They didn't want sick kids in this because 1122 01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,840 Speaker 21: they didn't want kids to get you know, vaccine injuries, 1123 01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,200 Speaker 21: and so and they you know, they wanted sort of 1124 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:38,160 Speaker 21: the healthiest popular pop the healthy I'm sorry, the healthiest 1125 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:42,280 Speaker 21: possible population, and that's what they got. And so so 1126 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,040 Speaker 21: then what happens is when people get injured by the 1127 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,200 Speaker 21: vaccine or by any drug in a clinical trial, the 1128 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,240 Speaker 21: company running the trial is going to go out of 1129 01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,840 Speaker 21: its way to try to find other excuses for this. 1130 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 9: And matally, this is not just a problem with maderna. 1131 01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,520 Speaker 9: This is not just a problem with vaccines. There's a 1132 01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,200 Speaker 9: problem with the drug industry in the US. And so 1133 01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,920 Speaker 9: that's what happened in this case. Do I know that 1134 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 9: the vaccine caused this child's injury? I do not. Does 1135 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,320 Speaker 9: this guy know the vaccine didn't cause this child's injury? No, 1136 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,240 Speaker 9: he does not. Neither of us know because the company 1137 01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,120 Speaker 9: isn't really disclosing enough information for somebody outside to know. 1138 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 9: And so that's I mean, that's one of the many problems, 1139 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,320 Speaker 9: and that's one of the many reasons people in the 1140 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 9: United States are so suspicious of vaccines and of big pharma, 1141 01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,040 Speaker 9: and they should be. They're not getting the full story here. 1142 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,040 Speaker 1: Well, and you make the point, Alex that if these 1143 01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,920 Speaker 1: companies are good at one thing, it's about designing trials 1144 01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,080 Speaker 1: that give them the result that they want. And so 1145 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,480 Speaker 1: the fact that this went so poorly and you mentioned, yeah, 1146 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,960 Speaker 1: a kid probably died from it, that's what your finding 1147 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 1: seemed to suggest, but there was tons of other side 1148 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,440 Speaker 1: effects and abnormalities that were also detected.

We'll be right back, all right, 1172 01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:15,040 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Charlie Kirkshaw More with Alex Bearnson. 1173 01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:19,600 Speaker 1: As the President's Cabinet Meeting is ongoing, we're playing that 1174 01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,080 Speaker 1: in the break so you can check it out there, Alex. 1175 01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:26,960 Speaker 1: So you are basically alleging here that there were so 1176 01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:33,000 Speaker 1: many issues with this trial, especially with kids. Would you 1177 01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 1: say that this should not have been approved by the 1178 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:41,280 Speaker 1: FDA regardless of whether or not this this child died tragically. 1179 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:43,880 Speaker 1: Do you think there's still a case that this should 1180 01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,240 Speaker 1: not have been approved regardless of that fact. 1181 01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,960 Speaker 9: Well, that's the girl did die. I mean, whether or 1182 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,560 Speaker 9: not the vaccine killed her, we don't know. We do 1183 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 9: know the vaccine. 1184 01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:59,360 Speaker 22: Caused lots of other side effects in children, okay, And 1185 01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 22: we know that vaccine didn't work very well in children, 1186 01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,720 Speaker 22: And we know that children weren't very low risk I 1187 01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,280 Speaker 22: mean essentially no risk if they were at all healthy, 1188 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,200 Speaker 22: from death or serious injury from COVID. 1189 01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:15,280 Speaker 9: I mean it did happen occasionally, but it was very rare. 1190 01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:20,560 Speaker 22: So on balance, the FDA shouldn't have approved these for kids. 1191 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,400 Speaker 9: And I don't know if you recall, but in twenty 1192 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 9: twenty one, there was a move in certain blue states 1193 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:30,120 Speaker 9: to even try to force mandate these vaccines for kids 1194 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,960 Speaker 9: going to public school. Fortunately it didn't go anywhere. Governor 1195 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 9: knewso tried to make that happen. There were other governors 1196 01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,160 Speaker 9: who tried to make that happen, and I think fortunately 1197 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,280 Speaker 9: they realized that the parental pushback would be so severe 1198 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 9: even in blue states that they didn't do it. But 1199 01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:46,840 Speaker 9: the fact that they even considered. 1200 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,360 Speaker 23: It tells you how in the tank they were for 1201 01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,640 Speaker 23: the vaccine companies and how sort of how they lost 1202 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 23: their minds about the risks and benefits of this vaccine. 1203 01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,960 Speaker 9: No, this vaccine should not have been approved for children. 1204 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:04,160 Speaker 9: The mRNAs should not have been approved for children. Again, 1205 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:08,440 Speaker 9: European countries didn't go this route. And I think the FDA, 1206 01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:12,080 Speaker 9: under you know, Bobby Kennedy, under the new FDA Commissioner 1207 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,360 Speaker 9: Marty Mackery, and under Vine Proisad who actually runs the 1208 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,960 Speaker 9: vaccine division. I hope those guys are going to push 1209 01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 9: to essentially pull approval on some level. It doesn't matter 1210 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,600 Speaker 9: at this point because parents have seen this for themselves 1211 01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 9: and they've profoundly rejected the mRNA vaccines for kids. Something 1212 01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,080 Speaker 9: like three percent of kids got boosters last year and 1213 01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,480 Speaker 9: this year it's going to be fewer. So people know, 1214 01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,560 Speaker 9: they knew that they got their kids vaccinated for this, 1215 01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 9: you know, unfortunately a lot of them were. 1216 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,600 Speaker 24: Foolish enough to do that, or you know, foolish is 1217 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,640 Speaker 24: the wrong word they were sort of suckered into doing 1218 01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 24: it in twenty twenty two, and they saw their kids had, 1219 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,160 Speaker 24: you know, in many cases, bad fever, severe side effects. 1220 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,080 Speaker 24: And then guess what the kids who weren't vaccinated and 1221 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,080 Speaker 24: got COVID had like a. 1222 01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,440 Speaker 9: Day of a cold. So they know it was a 1223 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,400 Speaker 9: really bad bet. And and I think we're in a 1224 01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,880 Speaker 9: place where, you know, we're going forward, there's going to 1225 01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,439 Speaker 9: be a lot more skepticism. One question people have said 1226 01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,200 Speaker 9: to me is is there going to be accountability here? 1227 01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:15,160 Speaker 9: Is somebody going to actually crack that hammer on Maderna 1228 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,080 Speaker 9: or on Pfizer? And I will know the answer to that. 1229 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:21,000 Speaker 9: It sort of depends on what the companies actually hid, 1230 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:25,439 Speaker 9: what their behavior was. They have very strong legal protections, 1231 01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 9: but you know, if their conduct was really bad, there 1232 01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,439 Speaker 9: might be a way to pierce those. But but it's 1233 01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,040 Speaker 9: but I don't want to promise that because it's pretty unlikely. 1234 01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that was going to be My next 1235 01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 1: question is what does accountability look like? Can can these 1236 01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:42,280 Speaker 1: families sue? Can? You know, I know we have the 1237 01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:47,840 Speaker 1: vaccine immunity with these vaccine makers, And so the question 1238 01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,000 Speaker 1: is then what are the lessons learning? What can the 1239 01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:54,000 Speaker 1: new regime at the FDA do to protect parents and kids. 1240 01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,640 Speaker 9: Regime is going to be a lot more skeptical about vaccines. 1241 01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 9: That is the key. Maybe more skeptical law in general 1242 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,440 Speaker 9: about drug companies going forward, as they should be, but 1243 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,960 Speaker 9: they're going to be very skeptical about vaccines. You know, 1244 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,360 Speaker 9: the word vaccine to people on the left and in 1245 01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:15,440 Speaker 9: the public health community, it's almost like this religious word 1246 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,680 Speaker 9: to them. It's like if you have to grow to 1247 01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:18,400 Speaker 9: the great. 1248 01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:22,040 Speaker 25: God vaccine and you can't raise questions and you can't say, hey, 1249 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,200 Speaker 25: maybe maybe a vaccine that makes sense for a seventy 1250 01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,840 Speaker 25: five year old doesn't make sense for a two year old, 1251 01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 25: and maybe you know, if your child is at zero 1252 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,560 Speaker 25: risk from hepatitis B, forcing them to get a hepatitis 1253 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 25: B shot when they're at birth doesn't make a lot 1254 01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:42,720 Speaker 25: of sense. So there's been this again, this love, this 1255 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:44,880 Speaker 25: strange fixation in. 1256 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 9: The public health community would be unwilling to question vaccines. 1257 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 9: And it's very clear that Deni and Marty and RFK 1258 01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,960 Speaker 9: are going to be more skeptical, and you know, are 1259 01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:58,800 Speaker 9: they going to do everything the way I would do it? 1260 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 9: Not necessarily, but they're going to follow the science. I 1261 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 9: think they're going to try to make good decisions and 1262 01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 9: I hope that's going to lead to a smarter vaccine schedule. 1263 01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:11,280 Speaker 9: And ideally what it will lead to is more parental confidence, 1264 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 9: not less. But getting these m R and A COVID 1265 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,759 Speaker 9: shots off the market for kids is the first step 1266 01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:17,920 Speaker 9: in that. 1267 01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:20,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, well said, I actually agree with you that it's 1268 01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,160 Speaker 1: going to lead to more parental trust. If we're willing 1269 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,519 Speaker 1: to say no to certain vaccines and yes to others, 1270 01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,240 Speaker 1: I think it's going to inspire a lot more trust 1271 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,400 Speaker 1: with parents out there. Alex, we got to wrap up here, 1272 01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:32,519 Speaker 1: tell us where people can follow. 1273 01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:36,840 Speaker 9: You can read this story Unreported Truths.

The Trump administrations facing another legal 1316 01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,679 Speaker 17: setback of sorts, as a federal appeals court has ruled 1317 01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:15,720 Speaker 17: that Trump appointed Acting US Attorney for the State of 1318 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,920 Speaker 17: New Jersey, Alina Haba, was illegally given that job. As 1319 01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:24,120 Speaker 17: a result, Habba is disqualified from supervising cases. She served 1320 01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,200 Speaker 17: as President Trump's personal lawyer leading up to his re election. 1321 01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 17: There is still no comment from the White House or 1322 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:36,400 Speaker 17: the Justice Department on Monday's ruling. 1323 01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:52,160 Speaker 15: Lentless in spirit. You're listening to the Charlie Kirk Show. 1324 01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:55,160 Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. Connection, 1325 01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:58,360 Speaker 1: open dialogue. These are the things that build communities. Charlie 1326 01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 1: and TikTok shared in that knowledge, in that belief. That's 1327 01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 1: why TikTok has built a space where that kind of 1328 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:07,000 Speaker 1: listening actually happens. People don't just post, they respond. They 1329 01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,600 Speaker 1: build on each other's ideas. You'll see a teacher simplifying 1330 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,720 Speaker 1: a tough lesson so at finding clicks. You'll see a 1331 01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,320 Speaker 1: gardener sharing a trick that save their crop. But what 1332 01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,439 Speaker 1: matters most isn't the video that's posted first. It's what 1333 01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,559 Speaker 1: comes next. Someone asking a question, someone else answering with 1334 01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,479 Speaker 1: a story of their own, and suddenly people who've never 1335 01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,719 Speaker 1: met become a community built on curiosity. When people listen 1336 01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,600 Speaker 1: and understand, a shift happens. Walls come down and you 1337 01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:32,639 Speaker 1: realize you're not quite so different after all. And that's 1338 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:34,960 Speaker 1: what makes TikTok so powerful. That's why we partner with them. 1339 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,639 Speaker 1: That's why Charlie was such an avid poster on TikTok, 1340 01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:40,519 Speaker 1: because we know that every post can turn into a 1341 01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 1: conversation and a conversation can make a difference. Joining the 1342 01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,920 Speaker 1: program now is Senator Mark Wayne Mullen from the Great 1343 01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:51,120 Speaker 1: State of Oklahoma. Senator, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. 1344 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:53,559 Speaker 3: Thank you, Andrew, thanks for having me on. 1345 01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,960 Speaker 1: Brother. Yeah, well, listen, I had to have you back 1346 01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:00,800 Speaker 1: on because you are in to know on this when 1347 01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:04,240 Speaker 1: you're part of the committee here Center Armed Services Committee 1348 01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:10,320 Speaker 1: that now Senator Wicker news broke that he and the 1349 01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:16,720 Speaker 1: Senator from Delaware, right Rhode Island White House, Jack Yeah, 1350 01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,880 Speaker 1: Jack n that's the one. Thank you. They have launched. 1351 01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:23,559 Speaker 1: What's their calling and framing is a bipartisan inquiry into 1352 01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:28,479 Speaker 1: the strike on the Narco Terra's boat that has caused 1353 01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,280 Speaker 1: all the kerfuffle, which the New York Times now is 1354 01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:36,240 Speaker 1: has rebutted the Washington Post original reporting that Secretary of 1355 01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,559 Speaker 1: hegset somehow called for the second strike. That's not what happened. 1356 01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,559 Speaker 1: I needed to bring you on to help make sense 1357 01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,040 Speaker 1: of this. How did we get to this point where 1358 01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,519 Speaker 1: it we're playing foot seat with the Democrats to investigate 1359 01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:48,280 Speaker 1: Trump's cabinet. 1360 01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,840 Speaker 26: Well, what happened is it wasn't an inquiry, It was 1361 01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,920 Speaker 26: actually an oversight. So what the Senator Wicker. I actually 1362 01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,720 Speaker 26: had a conversation with him today and said, so, what 1363 01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:01,519 Speaker 26: are we doing here? 1364 01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:03,120 Speaker 3: I mean, are we playing games? 1365 01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:05,439 Speaker 26: Do we think that Jack Reid is going to move 1366 01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:09,400 Speaker 26: into a bipartisan manner because he has not been bipartisan 1367 01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:10,920 Speaker 26: at all. I hate to say it, because I'm not 1368 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:12,639 Speaker 26: trying to give a guy any credit at all, because 1369 01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,760 Speaker 26: he is on my I'm using a Christmas term here, 1370 01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:16,760 Speaker 26: he is my naughty list. 1371 01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 3: That'd be Mark Kelly. He and Mark Kelly. 1372 01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,879 Speaker 26: Has been more part bipartisan on the Senate Armed Services 1373 01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:29,519 Speaker 26: Committee than Jack Reid has. And uh, what Wicker said is, no, 1374 01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,120 Speaker 26: this has got blown out of proportion. 1375 01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:32,759 Speaker 3: This was simply an oversight. 1376 01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:34,880 Speaker 26: Like today, we had an oversight on a lot of 1377 01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,439 Speaker 26: accidents and oversight hearing a lot of accents that's been 1378 01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:41,600 Speaker 26: happening on aircraft carriers on certain platforms. And uh, and 1379 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,760 Speaker 26: he says, that's all this is intented. This isn't to 1380 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:47,000 Speaker 26: drag save Terry heck seth up here. It's not to 1381 01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,519 Speaker 26: We've already been briefed on the operation. This is just 1382 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:53,559 Speaker 26: to make sure that that we're that Congress is basically 1383 01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:55,800 Speaker 26: still informed. Now those are his words. This same could 1384 01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:00,000 Speaker 26: morph andrew into anything. I think it's a very slip 1385 01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 26: free slope. And when we start down this road, if 1386 01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:06,559 Speaker 26: we start bringing in individuals because we know that they 1387 01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:09,160 Speaker 26: are well within their authority day meaning the Secretary of 1388 01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:13,839 Speaker 26: War in President Trump, that's well within their authority to 1389 01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:18,599 Speaker 26: prevent terrorist activities coming to our shores and by hitting 1390 01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:21,000 Speaker 26: them in international water or hitting them in US water, 1391 01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:24,280 Speaker 26: whatever takes place, they're within their authority to do that 1392 01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,080 Speaker 26: because they have been deemed a terrorist organization and thank god, 1393 01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:29,120 Speaker 26: someone's finally being proactive. 1394 01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:29,120 Speaker 3: And killed them. 1395 01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:33,080 Speaker 26: By the way, a recent poll just came out that 1396 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 26: was by a I would say a bipartisan, if not 1397 01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:40,799 Speaker 26: left leaning, poster company that said that seventy one percent 1398 01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 26: of America actually supports President Trump hitting these Narco boats 1399 01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:48,439 Speaker 26: in international water. 1400 01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:49,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1401 01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:51,120 Speaker 16: I want to you know, I just want to flag 1402 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,080 Speaker 16: this because this is an email we got from one 1403 01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:54,960 Speaker 16: of our listeners at Freemacharlie Kirk, and send us more. 1404 01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:56,800 Speaker 16: How do you feel about this? And he just said 1405 01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:01,400 Speaker 16: he contacted Congressman Mike Turner's office because Mike Turner was 1406 01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:03,519 Speaker 16: questioned this, saying it could be in the house light 1407 01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:07,360 Speaker 16: on the house side and He's saying, I don't know 1408 01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:11,200 Speaker 16: a single Republican who doesn't fully support heg Seth and 1409 01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:14,560 Speaker 16: the Pentagon on this. He says Republican voters are furious 1410 01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:18,280 Speaker 16: if that Republican leadership would work with Democrats to hamstringer 1411 01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:20,720 Speaker 16: damage heg Seth over this. So I think we need 1412 01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:24,320 Speaker 16: some perspective here. Our base definitely likes blowing up drug smugglers. 1413 01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:25,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, well. 1414 01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,240 Speaker 26: After the bad right, I mean it's simple, go after 1415 01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:31,320 Speaker 26: the bad guys. Why would we allow them to get 1416 01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:35,479 Speaker 26: on our shores and distribute their part product when if 1417 01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:38,280 Speaker 26: you look at the numbers in twenty twenty four, we 1418 01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:43,960 Speaker 26: lost more Americans on our streets and then we to 1419 01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:48,240 Speaker 26: drug overdoses, they get an entire Vietnam war. So this 1420 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:51,280 Speaker 26: is this is not just a pandemic. This is a 1421 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:55,120 Speaker 26: war that we're having. That these nar caught, these narco 1422 01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:59,439 Speaker 26: boats and terrorist organizations. They don't care about the lives 1423 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,920 Speaker 26: of the of our brothers and sisters and loved ones 1424 01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 26: and friends. So why the heck are we are we 1425 01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,000 Speaker 26: playing this game? Does the Democrats think that these aren't 1426 01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:12,680 Speaker 26: drug votes? Do they think these aren't drug dealers? Do 1427 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:15,599 Speaker 26: they do they think these drugs aren't coming to our shores. 1428 01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:18,720 Speaker 26: Do they think that the cartails aren't terrorist organizations? Or 1429 01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:22,879 Speaker 26: is it just the anti Trump syndrome and the durranged 1430 01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,360 Speaker 26: Trump syndrome that is that's taking over the fact that 1431 01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 26: anything President Trump does. 1432 01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:29,200 Speaker 3: They're going to object to. 1433 01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:32,080 Speaker 26: And what we got to be careful is some Republicans 1434 01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:34,759 Speaker 26: that we don't join their rhetoric. 1435 01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:39,040 Speaker 16: And I just I want to remind people what did 1436 01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:41,360 Speaker 16: so much damage to the first Trump administration. It was 1437 01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:44,599 Speaker 16: the Russia gate. Hoaks they come out with us, they 1438 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:48,040 Speaker 16: make it sound extremely serious and super super duper real, 1439 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:50,960 Speaker 16: and we had a we had a trifecta just like 1440 01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,439 Speaker 16: this time, where we had Republican Senate, Republican House, and 1441 01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:59,160 Speaker 16: they allowed themselves to be dragged into this morass of investigation. 1442 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:00,680 Speaker 16: All we have to look that we have to make 1443 01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:04,280 Speaker 16: sure everything is fair, and that blew out the entire 1444 01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 16: two year period we had that trifecta for for basically nothing. 1445 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:12,080 Speaker 16: It was essentially we self sabotaged ourselves, and Democrats would 1446 01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:15,320 Speaker 16: love nothing more than to let us sabotage ourselves again 1447 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:19,280 Speaker 16: on important policies on the border, on migration, on internal security. 1448 01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:21,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely well, and I just want to this is 1449 01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:26,280 Speaker 1: a direct a note to Senator Wicker and Congressman Turner. 1450 01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,960 Speaker 1: You are playing with fire here by playing footsie with 1451 01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats on this stuff. I hope that this is 1452 01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:38,719 Speaker 1: simply you guys checking a box and you know, moving 1453 01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:41,280 Speaker 1: on and there's nothing to see here. But if this 1454 01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,040 Speaker 1: this turns into what Blake just described is as Trump 1455 01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:47,599 Speaker 1: one point zero all over again, same playbook, your base 1456 01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:49,799 Speaker 1: is going to be livid this.

I respect that, 1462 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,320 Speaker 1: but no, I just respect that you got to you 1463 01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:09,920 Speaker 1: gotta do it a different way. I can be a 1464 01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:11,880 Speaker 1: little bit more forceful, but you know, these are the 1465 01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,160 Speaker 1: people you're playing footsie with here. One ninety nine. This 1466 01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:17,360 Speaker 1: is US Senator Chris Murphy talking about Pete Hegseth. 1467 01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,719 Speaker 7: Pete egg Seth needs to resign and if he doesn't resign, 1468 01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:25,080 Speaker 7: Donald Trump needs to fire him. He is a walking, 1469 01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:32,479 Speaker 7: talking national security embarrassment. He seems more interested in winning 1470 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:36,240 Speaker 7: video pull up contests than he does in protecting this nation. 1471 01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:39,439 Speaker 7: He's obsessed with the weight of his soldiers, the facial 1472 01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:42,800 Speaker 7: hair of his soldiers, not concerned with actually keeping the 1473 01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:44,720 Speaker 7: country safe. 1474 01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 1: But weight. There's more, here's Senator Mark Kelly, and I 1475 01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,360 Speaker 1: want to get into this because this feels like a 1476 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:53,120 Speaker 1: coordinated up. First they give this this, these these six 1477 01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:56,320 Speaker 1: lawmakers come out with this video seating the ground. It 1478 01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:59,559 Speaker 1: comes out of nowhere, and then you get this wah 1479 01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:03,880 Speaker 1: post alleging a war crime against Secretary of Hegseeth And 1480 01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:07,799 Speaker 1: oh oh, that just was a convenient timed story from Washingbus. 1481 01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:09,720 Speaker 1: Even though the New York Times now rebutted it. It 1482 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,360 Speaker 1: all feels way too convenient. And Mark Kelly's just going 1483 01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:15,439 Speaker 1: out on the media circuit. Here, Senator keeps hitting the 1484 01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:18,120 Speaker 1: story again and again and again. Here he is two hundred. 1485 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:25,000 Speaker 8: He's putting out on the internet turtles with rocket propelled 1486 01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,160 Speaker 8: grenades kill it. I mean, have you seen this. This 1487 01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:31,759 Speaker 8: is the Secretary of Defense. This is not a serious person. 1488 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,160 Speaker 8: He should have been fired after signal date. 1489 01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,080 Speaker 16: All I'm gonna remind everyone is we had Disney cartoons 1490 01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:40,759 Speaker 16: in World War Two where Donald Duck fights Hitler. 1491 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:42,360 Speaker 1: Well, so it's fun. 1492 01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,080 Speaker 26: Yeah, And we also had Disney cartoons in the Korean War. 1493 01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:48,160 Speaker 26: We also had them in Vietnam War. By the way, 1494 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:52,000 Speaker 26: we also had them in Desert Storm. It's just stupid. 1495 01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,479 Speaker 26: It's just you know, you got Murphy and you got 1496 01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:58,479 Speaker 26: Kelly that are jockeying for leadership inside the Democrat Party 1497 01:20:58,479 --> 01:20:59,679 Speaker 26: because there is no leadership. 1498 01:20:59,680 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 3: A king. 1499 01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:03,679 Speaker 26: Jeffrey is a joke. You got obviously, Chuck Schumer, who 1500 01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:06,280 Speaker 26: you know, is a joke. And so people are just 1501 01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:10,240 Speaker 26: moving around and it's and it's ridiculous. But we do, Andrew, 1502 01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,559 Speaker 26: we do have to be very careful on the way 1503 01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,599 Speaker 26: we move forward to this, which is why I wanted 1504 01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:21,240 Speaker 26: to talk to Senator Wicker this morning. And by the way, 1505 01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:24,519 Speaker 26: the White House is being very, very very transparent. They've 1506 01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:34,120 Speaker 26: already briefed the the Committee on the ongoing Narco boats 1507 01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:37,000 Speaker 26: that were blowing up. Plus they now offer to bring 1508 01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:39,160 Speaker 26: in legal papers to which I think I'm getting a 1509 01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:41,400 Speaker 26: brief on in about an hour from now. That the 1510 01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,120 Speaker 26: White House is literally walking over the papers, well they're 1511 01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:46,360 Speaker 26: probably driving it and getting out and walking They're they're 1512 01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,160 Speaker 26: delivering it in a seal bag. I've got to go 1513 01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,160 Speaker 26: down and to a skiff and they're going to read 1514 01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:55,960 Speaker 26: me in on everything that took place. And twenty seven 1515 01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:59,479 Speaker 26: members of Congress have already got read in, twenty seven senators, 1516 01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,479 Speaker 26: and I forget how many members in the House have 1517 01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:05,519 Speaker 26: got read into it. So it's not like the White 1518 01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:08,839 Speaker 26: House isn't being transparent here. They are being extremely transparent. 1519 01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:10,759 Speaker 26: And I can tell you what I have been briefed 1520 01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:15,120 Speaker 26: on on this specific strike that they're that the Democrats 1521 01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:18,520 Speaker 26: are losing their beloving mind on, plus on the oncode 1522 01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:22,320 Speaker 26: going operations there. We are well within our authority. In fact, 1523 01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,679 Speaker 26: the American people and the Democrats should be proud because 1524 01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:27,559 Speaker 26: it's not just the narco boats that they're taken out. 1525 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,680 Speaker 26: They got to coordinate effort going on with DHS with 1526 01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:34,919 Speaker 26: Secretary Christy Nome that are just rupting their their their 1527 01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:39,120 Speaker 26: their drug rings and roots and distribution lines and money 1528 01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,000 Speaker 26: laundering inside the United States. So people want to look 1529 01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:44,120 Speaker 26: at just what ICE is doing. But while they're in 1530 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,599 Speaker 26: these cities, these are heavily drug traffic areas too, they're 1531 01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:52,839 Speaker 26: disrupting all of their their infrastructure. So you have President 1532 01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:56,400 Speaker 26: Trump that has finally taken a full press approach to drugs, 1533 01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,120 Speaker 26: which the last president do that, by the way, was 1534 01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:02,680 Speaker 26: Ronald Reagan. But can really focus more on the you know, 1535 01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:06,160 Speaker 26: in Columbia Central on South America. President Trump is going 1536 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:10,360 Speaker 26: to the countries, going to the cartels uh or designate 1537 01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:13,719 Speaker 26: them as a terrorist organization, using our military and international waters, 1538 01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:17,640 Speaker 26: using you know, our our Coastguard in US waters, and 1539 01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:20,559 Speaker 26: then using law enforcement and disrupting them on both ends 1540 01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,799 Speaker 26: of the chain, from the distribution side to the livery side, 1541 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 26: and then to where the finances come from. I mean, 1542 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:31,000 Speaker 26: it's this should be every American should be saying, good 1543 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,080 Speaker 26: on you, because there's not one of us now, one 1544 01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:36,280 Speaker 26: of your people listening to the show, none of the 1545 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:38,920 Speaker 26: people that are that are helping produce a show, or 1546 01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:42,679 Speaker 26: you guys that doesn't know somebody that's been affected by 1547 01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:46,240 Speaker 26: this pandemic of drugs in our in our country right now. 1548 01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,160 Speaker 1: Well, you're absolutely right. I mean, we all probably have 1549 01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:52,160 Speaker 1: personal anecdotes that we could relate. And I just want 1550 01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,240 Speaker 1: to leave us with this final thought that they so 1551 01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 1: doubt in the military saying you can disobey direct orders, 1552 01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,400 Speaker 1: and then they have this follow up story suggesting war 1553 01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:06,479 Speaker 1: crimes at the highest level to say, look, see we 1554 01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:09,719 Speaker 1: told you you need to start disobeying the commander in chief. 1555 01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,519 Speaker 1: It's very very serious, Senator, So I just want to 1556 01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:14,880 Speaker 1: make sure that we're all seeing it for what it is. 1557 01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:19,400 Speaker 1: This is a coordinated operation. To you know, Eric Schmitt. Schmid, 1558 01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:21,680 Speaker 1: you're one of your colleagues, is saying color revolution.

Were you when you talk about 1579 01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:27,719 Speaker 9: affordability is going forward? 1580 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:33,000 Speaker 8: Are the American people do you believe getting impatient with 1581 01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:34,080 Speaker 8: the reforms that you're making. 1582 01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:36,479 Speaker 27: They've talked about it's about I think they're getting fake 1583 01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:41,639 Speaker 27: news from guys like you. Look, affordability is a hoax 1584 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:46,360 Speaker 27: that was started by Democrats who caused the problem of pricing, 1585 01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:49,400 Speaker 27: and they didn't end it when look, they lost in 1586 01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:51,800 Speaker 27: a landslide. We won every swing state, We won the 1587 01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,839 Speaker 27: popular vote. We want everything. You take a look at districts, 1588 01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,280 Speaker 27: it was two thousand and seven hundred and fifty to 1589 01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:03,200 Speaker 27: five hundred, five hundred and twenty five. Because that was 1590 01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,360 Speaker 27: then affordability problem. We brought it down. Look at energy, 1591 01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:09,400 Speaker 27: look at look at the gasoline press. It's like the 1592 01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:13,120 Speaker 27: simplest and it's the biggest because if energy comes down, 1593 01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:14,000 Speaker 27: everything comes down. 1594 01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:14,880 Speaker 9: That's the way it works. 1595 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,000 Speaker 27: We're gonna be at two fifty. You said one ninety 1596 01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,800 Speaker 27: nine in some places of the country, right, you said it, 1597 01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 27: and they won't check you, they'll check me. 1598 01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,400 Speaker 28: So you know, i'd like to use your your number. 1599 01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:33,200 Speaker 28: One ninety nine a gallon unthinkable. If you go back 1600 01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,519 Speaker 28: a year and a half ago, it's unthinkable. So uh, 1601 01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:40,720 Speaker 28: now we're bringing the prices down, way down. Beef is 1602 01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:41,280 Speaker 28: coming down. 1603 01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:44,960 Speaker 27: Now we've done certain magic and beef is coming down. 1604 01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:52,120 Speaker 27: But we inherited horrible prices. We inherited really the worst again, 1605 01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:55,439 Speaker 27: the worst inflation in history. We inherited that when I 1606 01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:59,000 Speaker 27: came in, that's what he had. And we fixed inflation, 1607 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:03,280 Speaker 27: and we fixed almost everything. If you want another truth, 1608 01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:07,240 Speaker 27: including eight wars, We've got one to go, but including 1609 01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:07,920 Speaker 27: eight wars. 1610 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:10,320 Speaker 9: But when they always say what's. 1611 01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:12,360 Speaker 27: Today where they have a race going on right now 1612 01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:17,320 Speaker 27: in Tennessee, and this woman goes affordability, affordability, the other 1613 01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:18,920 Speaker 27: ones that caused the problem. 1614 01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:20,400 Speaker 9: The prices were way high. 1615 01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:24,559 Speaker 27: We're bringing the prices down. But they're like scam artists, 1616 01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:27,280 Speaker 27: you know, they're con I call them con men and women. 1617 01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:30,800 Speaker 27: They come out they say affordability, like, oh, oh, I 1618 01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:34,240 Speaker 27: see price. We're going to get prices down still further. 1619 01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:37,680 Speaker 27: But we brought them down from the prices they cost. 1620 01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:40,760 Speaker 27: The reason that they had the highest inflation and the 1621 01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:44,960 Speaker 27: history of our country because they're the highest prices. But 1622 01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:47,360 Speaker 27: we brought them down and now we have normal inflation. 1623 01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:50,559 Speaker 29: Yeah, because the President, Thank you so much for taking 1624 01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:54,439 Speaker 29: questions when your assembled.

Even though these novels were written in 1673 01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:19,240 Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties and forties, they are highly relevant today 1674 01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:22,639 Speaker 1: as they show what a tyrannical government does to human nature. 1675 01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:25,120 Speaker 1: More importantly, they show us that faith, family, and friends 1676 01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:27,760 Speaker 1: are worth fighting for.

Blake, 1682 01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:44,840 Speaker 1: Let's get some emails here. 1683 01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:47,240 Speaker 16: Yeah, we got quite a few. We had an interesting 1684 01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:50,320 Speaker 16: one from someone who asked their name be withhell. But 1685 01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:53,920 Speaker 16: they said that their younger brother got they believe, type 1686 01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:58,240 Speaker 16: one diabetes after getting the chicken pox vaccine when he 1687 01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:01,519 Speaker 16: was seven. And and they say in their church of 1688 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:03,880 Speaker 16: about four hundred people, seven to twelve kids in the 1689 01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:07,000 Speaker 16: same age range all have Type one diabetes, and they 1690 01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:09,600 Speaker 16: believe it could be related to that. I don't know 1691 01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:12,600 Speaker 16: of any alleged connection between those, because. 1692 01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:14,639 Speaker 1: I do suspect Bearnson suggested some. 1693 01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:18,760 Speaker 16: Maybe it's possible, but again, there are a lot of 1694 01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,120 Speaker 16: illnesses that just manifest when you're a young child, and 1695 01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:23,880 Speaker 16: then you also happen to get vaccinated when you're a 1696 01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:24,439 Speaker 16: young child. 1697 01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:30,679 Speaker 1: But interesting though, it is genetic apparently, Scott says, it's 1698 01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:33,479 Speaker 1: called sewing descent. In regards to General Kelly, it's not 1699 01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:38,960 Speaker 1: General Kelly, it's a Captain Kelly, Senator Kelly. No, no here, 1700 01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,400 Speaker 1: I agree, sewing descent. That's exactly what they're doing it 1701 01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:45,439 Speaker 1: on purpose to distrust descent in the ranks. And then 1702 01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:47,400 Speaker 1: they come out with a story that says, hey, look 1703 01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:50,479 Speaker 1: we told you that there could be illegal orders. This 1704 01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:51,400 Speaker 1: double tap kill. 1705 01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:55,840 Speaker 16: Kyrie says, I believe the strikes against drug boats fall 1706 01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:58,280 Speaker 16: under the category of self defense. I moren the death 1707 01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:00,880 Speaker 16: of any human being, but they are at their own 1708 01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:04,040 Speaker 16: risk and their blood is on their own heads. I 1709 01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:07,880 Speaker 16: support Secretary heg Seth. I don't I didn't see anyone 1710 01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:10,479 Speaker 16: who was really skeptical of vapor. 1711 01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:16,240 Speaker 1: This is a positive policy, this is a very popular policy. 1712 01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,439 Speaker 1: Kevin says, most Republicans are too concerned with being liked 1713 01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:22,920 Speaker 1: by people that will never give them that satisfaction. Praise God. 1714 01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:26,439 Speaker 1: Senator Mark Wain Moollin is not in that boat. 1715 01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:28,960 Speaker 16: He also said he sent two emails and he also 1716 01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:31,880 Speaker 16: said it's time to end the filibuster because he says 1717 01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:34,559 Speaker 16: Murkowski and Collins are working to get rid of heg seth. 1718 01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,840 Speaker 16: He believes now that does show the flip side, which 1719 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:40,080 Speaker 16: is it's possible he's correct on those two, but if 1720 01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:42,519 Speaker 16: there's even one or two more. That's the hazard with 1721 01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:45,320 Speaker 16: the filibuster is do you have the majority to pass 1722 01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:46,360 Speaker 16: the things that. 1723 01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:49,000 Speaker 1: You need to get Remember McConnell there, You've got McConnell 1724 01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:52,920 Speaker 1: still there, and who knows who secretly is not maybe 1725 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:59,320 Speaker 1: secretly doesn't love the agenda on immigration, Wickers even launching oversight. 1726 01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:02,160 Speaker 16: Nothing, Nothing would be worse than blowing up the filibuster 1727 01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:07,160 Speaker 16: and achieving nothing with it. And then Democrats have absolute more, 1728 01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:09,400 Speaker 16: they feel they have absolute morally away to pass everything 1729 01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:12,799 Speaker 16: they want. If you want to get rid of the filbuster, 1730 01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:14,760 Speaker 16: make sure you have a plan and that you have 1731 01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:16,760 Speaker 16: the votes to enact that plan. And it's good. 1732 01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:18,679 Speaker 1: You know what that makes me think of as like Hovedy, 1733 01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:22,559 Speaker 1: some of those like real tight Senate races that we 1734 01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:25,240 Speaker 1: just didn't quite get over the finish line. One or 1735 01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:27,840 Speaker 1: two more votes would have made this much more of 1736 01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:31,200 Speaker 1: a viable plan exactly exactly. Yeah, Or to have like 1737 01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:39,280 Speaker 1: a Nate Nate Morris in Kentucky as opposed to you know, McConnell. 1738 01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:41,599 Speaker 1: So some of those things, maybe reinforcements are coming down 1739 01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:44,080 Speaker 1: the pike, but we don't have it right that game. 1740 01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:48,000 Speaker 16: Eventually. I remember throughout the twenty twenty tens, you know, 1741 01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:50,960 Speaker 16: you had these winnable races that you lost for one 1742 01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:53,920 Speaker 16: reason or another. In Delaware, we could have flipped a 1743 01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:54,880 Speaker 16: Delaware Senate seat. 1744 01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:55,600 Speaker 1: I don't remember it was. 1745 01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:58,160 Speaker 16: It was Mike Castle and he was the representative. He 1746 01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:01,680 Speaker 16: was really popular, and he lost in the primary to 1747 01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:05,280 Speaker 16: Christine O'Donnell, who was, let's just be frank, she was 1748 01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:08,200 Speaker 16: out of what was winnable in Delaware, and so we 1749 01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:09,880 Speaker 16: just lost a race that we could have had an upset. 1750 01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:11,920 Speaker 16: We could have had a kind of Susan Collins type person, 1751 01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:14,479 Speaker 16: where yeah, are they a moderate, sure, but you want 1752 01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:17,559 Speaker 16: a moderate Republican over a Democrat in a deep blue state. 1753 01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:20,680 Speaker 16: And there were several races like that. And it's that 1754 01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:23,320 Speaker 16: game of interest, which is why if you are in Tennessee, 1755 01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,720 Speaker 16: if you live in Nashville or west of Nashville, look up. 1756 01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:28,680 Speaker 16: Make sure if you are supposed. 1757 01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:30,240 Speaker 1: To vote, to vote, go vote, vot, vote. 1758 01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:33,080 Speaker 16: I don't care if we're favored to win, blow them out. 1759 01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:34,639 Speaker 16: No narratives matter too. 1760 01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:37,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, we have to win that seat. It is a 1761 01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:39,760 Speaker 1: very winnable seat. We got to show up for it 1762 01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:44,320 Speaker 1: and win it when it win it and vote, vote, vote, fight, fight, fight, 1763 01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:47,720 Speaker 1: win it for Charlie.
