1
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: Well, good evening, everyone, Welcome to Stinchfield.

2
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: I am proud to call Nicholas Maduro, the former dictator

3
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: of Venezuela, well. Today in a New York courtroom, he

4
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: pled not guilty to the charges against him, basically that

5
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: he's a narco terrorist and a drug trafficker and a

6
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 2: man who was responsible for killing many, many Americans. In court,

7
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: he had the audacity to claim that he is a

8
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: decent man. You tell that to the Venezuelans that he

9
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: not only stole property from but he often imprisoned and

10
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: at worst he killed them if they disagreed with him.

11
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: This is no decent man, all trying to profit off

12
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: the killing of American citizens by sending fentanyl and cocaine

13
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: in the United States at levels like we have never

14
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: seen before. So all of this now is a positive

15
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: for the United States of America. The world is a

16
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: safer place with Maduro behind bars, and I believe only

17
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 2: things are going to get better from here.

18
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: Here is President Trump.

19
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 3: We're going to run the country until such time as

20
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition. So

21
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: we don't want to be involved with having somebody else

22
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: get in. And we have the same situation that we

23
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: had for the last long period of years.

24
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: So that had people screaming and yelling. We don't want

25
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: to be in the business of nation building.

26
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: But this isn't about nation building, it's about nation restoration.

27
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: It's not a Rock or Afghanistan, nations that can only

28
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: be run by dictators.

29
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: The people in.

30
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: Those countries cannot handle freedom. Venezuela, on the other hand,

31
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: prospered under freedom. It was a capitalistic country. They know

32
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: what freedom is. They had it stolen from them under

33
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: the threat coercion and violence laid down on them by

34
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: the goons, these socialist goons like Maduro and Chaves. So

35
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: any comparison to Iraq in Afghanistan countries that are not

36
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: exceptional and can handle freedom, are ridiculous.

37
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 4: That a lot of people analyze everything that happens in

38
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 4: foreign policy through the lens of what happened from two

39
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: thousand and one to two thousand, you know, fifteen or sixteen,

40
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: the whole you know, foreign policy apparatus thinks everything is Libya,

41
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: everything is a rock, everything is Afghanistan. This is not

42
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 4: the Middle East, and our mission here is very different.

43
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 4: This is the Western Hemisphere.

44
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: Now that's not to say, isn't going to be difficult.

45
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: Maduro has henchmen that are dug in. The former vice

46
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 2: president now so called President of Venezuela, who was never

47
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: elected by the way she was appointed by Maduro, says

48
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: she's willing to work with the United States. I don't

49
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: trust her. Things on that front are not going to

50
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: be easy.

51
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: But for any.

52
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: Democrat that somehow decries that this was an unjust move

53
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: by the United States of America ought to talk to

54
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: Venezuelan's I can't believe it, but NBC did me.

55
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Why are people here so excited? We are celebrating freedom

56
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: and liberty.

57
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 5: Thanks to President Trump, we were able to gain her

58
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 5: freedom back.

59
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: My wife hasn't been able to go home since since

60
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: she was a kid.

61
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 6: My kids have never gone to Venezuela, so this is huge.

62
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: Now, think about this where Democrats are today.

63
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: Joe Biden put a twenty five million dollar bounty for

64
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: the rest and capture of Nicholas Maduro on Maduro's head. Biden,

65
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: Trump goes in and arrests and captures Nicholas Maduro and the.

66
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: Democrats go crazy. Folks.

67
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: A policy is not just scream about the opposite of

68
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: whatever President Trump is doing. That's not a policy, but

69
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 2: that's where the Democrats are today. And think about this

70
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 2: for those that also somehow claim that we shouldn't be

71
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: doing this. It's unconstitutional. It's not going to hold up

72
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: in court. It's already played out in court. Do you

73
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: remember Manuel Noriega, also a phony leader in Panama when GW.

74
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: Bush George Bush HW Bush.

75
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 2: Sent in the troops to go capture him. Well, that

76
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: played out in a federal courthouse, and guess what, he

77
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: was convicted and the courts upheld America's right to arrest

78
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: criminals no matter where.

79
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: They are in the world.

80
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: Well, I want to bring in someone now who was

81
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: in Panama, and he is an amazing guy, a longtime

82
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: friend of mine. Not only was he in Panama, but

83
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: he parachuted into Panama on the Invasion Force.

84
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: As an army ranger. And I want to bring in

85
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Army ranger retired Chuck Holton to the program. Chuck, it

86
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: is good to see you, my friend. Welcome. I know

87
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: you are down on the Columbia Venezuelan border.

88
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 6: Is that correct, Yeah, that's correct. This feels really familiar.

89
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 7: Grant. We did this every day for a couple of years,

90
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 7: didn't we?

91
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you and I did.

92
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: We worked together at NRATV, and I call Chuck my

93
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,239
Speaker 2: chaos reporter because anywhere there's chaos, you're going there.

94
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: But that started out early on.

95
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: Can you tell me, Chuck, through your experience of parachuting

96
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: into Panama to go after a dictator like Noriega and

97
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 2: what went down over the weekend, Explain to me the

98
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: similarities here and what are soldiers and true groups and

99
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: special forces may have been going through.

100
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 6: That's a very good comparison. There are a lot of similarities.

101
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, Manuel Noriega was not elected

102
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 6: president of Panama. He stepped in after the elected president,

103
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 6: who was also a dictator, Omartorios, was killed in a

104
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 6: suspicious plane crash.

105
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 7: Let's put it that way.

106
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 6: Noriega had actually been an asset for the CIA before that,

107
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 6: but then he started playing both sides of the fence,

108
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 6: and he was working with narco traffickers to launder their money.

109
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 6: That's one of the reasons there are so many high

110
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 6: rise buildings in Panama City today. Those there are all

111
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 6: money laundering projects. And so the United States under George H. W.

112
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 6: Bush sent of course, now this is where it kind

113
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 6: of diverges a little bit. We already had twenty two

114
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 6: thousand troops in Panama. It's the only time in American

115
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 6: history when we've invaded the country that we already occupied

116
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 6: because we had troops in the canal zone there and

117
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 6: that sort of thing, and we had actually been there

118
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 6: just that January, i'm sorry, July before that invasion in

119
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 6: December for training, so we had already trained on the

120
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 6: same ground that we were invading, so it made it

121
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 6: a lot easier. But we did the same thing that

122
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 6: the Delta Force guys did in this mission, which was

123
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 6: built a scale model mock up and hit that thing

124
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 6: over and over and over again until we had it

125
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 6: down to a science. And then we got the go

126
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 6: ahead from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

127
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 6: and from Jaysaw, and we went in and parachuted in.

128
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 7: It took us about two weeks to.

129
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 6: Take Noriega out of there because he went and hid

130
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 6: in the embassy they called the Papal Nuncio of the Vatican,

131
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 6: and so it took a while for us to get

132
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 6: the Vatican to kick him out so that we could

133
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 6: arrest him. But then he went to Federal court in Miami,

134
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 6: went to prison for twenty years in a federal prison

135
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 6: in Miami, then was released to France, where he was

136
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 6: also facing charges. He served a year in prison in

137
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 6: France and then was released to Panama, where he was

138
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 6: also facing charges, and he spent the rest of his

139
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 6: life in prison in Panama.

140
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: All of Noriega's defenses that he was a leader of

141
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: a sovereign country, he should have immunity, that the United

142
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: States can't go and arrest somebody on another country for

143
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: charge here, all that played out in Noriega's trial, and

144
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: the courts upheld America's right for that. It is the

145
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: same defense that Maduro is making today. He doesn't stand

146
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: a case, does he no?

147
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 7: Because the nation is sovereign.

148
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 6: But the guy who is the interloper, who's not an

149
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 6: elected president that's just leading the country, is not sovereign.

150
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 7: And that's the difference that people miss here.

151
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: Chuck, Can I ask you, you're on the border of

152
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: Columbia and Venezuela. You live in Panama now, which I

153
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: think is just, you know, so amazing. A guy who

154
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: parachutes in there during that invasion, now you live in Panama.

155
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: You have spent so much time in Central South America

156
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: and beyond, there was such a mass exodus coming out

157
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: of Venezuela. Are you seeing an exodus now or are

158
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: people commers there? Less people coming across the border.

159
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 6: It's a very good question, Grant. As a matter of fact,

160
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 6: I've been here in Kukuta. It's going all the way

161
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 6: back to about twenty seventeen reporting on this. If you

162
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 6: go back to two thousand and eight, that's when people

163
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 6: really started leaving Venezuela. And that's because the currency collapse.

164
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 6: I happen to have here. This would have been in

165
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 6: two thousand and eight about ten thousand dollars worth of

166
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 6: Venezuelan currency, and today we bought it for under five dollars,

167
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 6: just as a souvenir. It's absolutely worthless, not even worth

168
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 6: the paper is printed on and so they make art

169
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 6: out of it at this point. Okay, So people got

170
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 6: with the hyperinflation where they couldn't survive and they started leaving.

171
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 7: Well, that ramped up more and more and more.

172
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 6: Under the first Trump administration, you had millions of people

173
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 6: fleeing Venezuela now a total of about eight million people,

174
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 6: and most of them came through this city, right behind me.

175
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 6: Cucuta is about seven hundred thousand people, but there have

176
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 6: been times where there were more Venezuelans in Cucuta than Cucutenos.

177
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 6: And now there's probably still about two hundred thousand refugees

178
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 6: from Venezuela.

179
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 7: I've been here talking to them.

180
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 6: I was expecting coming down here that there would be

181
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 6: a mass exodus of people leaving Venezuela now. But what

182
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 6: you have to understand is that because Gustavo Petro, the

183
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 6: President of Colombia, is also a communist, when he got

184
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 6: into office about five years ago, he threw open the border.

185
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 6: That's what leftists do, right, they throw open the border.

186
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 6: So he threw open the border with Venezuela and gave

187
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 6: protected status to Venezuelans in his country so they can

188
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 6: come in and work.

189
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 7: So it allowed them to actually continue.

190
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 6: Living in Venezuela if they live close to the border,

191
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 6: crossover to work, and then go back and live where

192
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 6: it's cheaper in Venezuela, and so it relieved a lot

193
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 6: of that pressure. And that border is still wide open

194
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 6: right now. However, there's a difference. In twenty eighteen, I

195
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 6: came down here, and that's during the first Trump administration,

196
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 6: there was the Trump administration was trying to get aid

197
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 6: to the people in Venezuela because they were literally eating

198
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 6: their pets in Venezuela, and the Maduro regime sent armed

199
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 6: biker gangs to the border to burn the aid on

200
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 6: the bridge.

201
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 7: That crossed the river into Venezuela.

202
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 6: You might remember that, and I was here for that,

203
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 6: big firefights, all sorts of fighting and stuff.

204
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 7: But when that happened, I went down.

205
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 6: To the river where the people were crossing anyway because

206
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 6: the bridge was closed, and I crossed into Venezuela just

207
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 6: to get a shot of the bridge. And I no

208
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 6: sooner got into Venezuela that three of those biker gang

209
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 6: guys came running up and grabbed me and tried to

210
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 6: tried to kidnap me and take me to Caracas. I

211
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 6: had to kind of employ my ranger skills to disagree

212
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 6: with them forcefully and get out.

213
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 2: I remember that well, and I believe that was when

214
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: you were at NERATV with me, and you've been in

215
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: some hairy situations. I'm hopeful for the people of Venezuela,

216
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: this is going to be a great thing.

217
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: Real quick.

218
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: Ten seconds, Chuck, The people of Venezuela. Now have to

219
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 2: be very hopeful real quick.

220
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 6: They are, but they're saying we're not going to go

221
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 6: back into Venezuela until the rest of the regime falls.

222
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 6: They said Trump took out Ali Baba and.

223
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 7: Left the forty thieves.

224
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing.

225
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: Chuck Holton, it is always great to see you, my friend.

226
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: Thank you for doing this with me tonight. I want

227
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: you to check out Chuck's podcast, The Hot Zone with

228
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: Chuck Holton on YouTube.

229
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: Chuck, thank you in time, absolutely, my man.

230
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: All right, folks, so now you have deranged anti Trump

231
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: lunatics that are basically they call out they don't like kings,

232
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: but then the moment you arrest a king, they want

233
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: him freed.

234
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: It makes no sense. This is in New York City.

235
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: If you take a close look at the signs there.

236
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: This is really interesting because in Orlando, though, the same

237
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: dopey protesters are using the very same signs.

238
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: Watch you look at them.

239
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: Somebody's organizing this and it's all about being anti Trump,

240
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: not pro people. And I can tell you this, no

241
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: one knows more about how brutal Nicholas Maduro was to

242
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: anybody that disagreed with him, including Americans. I'm so honored

243
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: to have on the program now a former recent Maduro

244
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: regime hostage US Air Force veteran, Joe Saint Clair. We

245
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 2: talked a lot about him on this program. Joe, welcome home.

246
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: It is great to have you back, and you must

247
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: be thrilled about the news over the weekend.

248
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 8: I agree. First, I want to say think to you

249
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 8: and your team for platforming and my father and interviewing him,

250
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 8: because without your help and support, really the fire to

251
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 8: get me out of there wouldn't have occurred. I know

252
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 8: that during the Biden regime, nobody knew where I was

253
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 8: for three months. I was held under a false name.

254
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,599
Speaker 8: So on one hand, when I see Maduro with the

255
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 8: with the headset and the mask over his eyes, you know,

256
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 8: I do feel somewhat vindicated. And the truth is he

257
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 8: kept a bag over my head for six months and

258
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 8: attempted to disappear me permanently. And what he's done to

259
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,359
Speaker 8: the Venezuelan people and even to their close neighbors, the Colombians,

260
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 8: is on another level. As brutal as he is to

261
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 8: you know, those he uses his enemies, they weren't going

262
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 8: to the extent with Americans as they were with Latinos.

263
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 8: It really is sad. And to those who think that,

264
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 8: who believe Madua when he says he's a good person,

265
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 8: it's not true. It's absolutely not true. He does not

266
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 8: honor basic human rights. And if you don't believe this,

267
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 8: take a flight to Columbia, take a flight to Brazil,

268
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 8: go near the border of Venezuela and see what happens.

269
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 8: See it like these people all brutalizing half of your.

270
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: Face, That's what happened to you. You're on vacation and

271
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: get scooped up. I believe they probably figured out exactly

272
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: who you are, and being an Air Force veteran, that

273
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: made you an even more probably target for them. Now

274
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: they scoop you up, take you down there. What was

275
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: life like for you?

276
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: How long were you there? Again? And tell me what

277
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: life was like for you?

278
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I was there for just under six months,

279
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 8: and your last guest. The situation he described was eerily

280
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 8: similar to what occurred to me. Like many of the

281
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 8: other Americans, eused citizens and citizens from thirty countries all

282
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 8: over the world that ended up in this black site

283
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 8: prison where I was at Maduro's personal prison. Most of

284
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 8: us were traveling with people we were dating or loved

285
00:15:53,800 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 8: ones or family members, and unfortunately, you know, there's there's nothing.

286
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 8: Once they had gotten me, essentially, I knew that I

287
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 8: was I was done for because I had a gun

288
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 8: to my face. At first, it seemed like they were

289
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 8: just trying to get a bribe or possibly rob me.

290
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 8: Then they started going through my phone and they found

291
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 8: a photo of me in uiform. At that point, I

292
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 8: became the trophy prize. So on one hand that was terrifying.

293
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 8: On the other hand, I knew, Okay, they're probably not

294
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 8: going to kill me, even though they're threatening to do so.

295
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 8: But I also had to think about, you know, I

296
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 8: have somebody with me that also they're not America and

297
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 8: they're Venezuelan, and whatever I do will affect them.

298
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: But I was.

299
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 8: I was hog tied, driven twelve hours to Caracas and

300
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 8: taken to the headquarters of what is their NSA or

301
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 8: CIA d G CIM and for the first three three

302
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 8: weeks I was there, I was kept in solitary confinement,

303
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 8: without a bathroom, in a room that was about forty

304
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 8: degrees you know, concrete bed and had no outside communication.

305
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 8: And the only way I got out of there, honestly, was.

306
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 8: I said, okay, tell you whatever I need to tell you.

307
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 8: I just let me out of the cell. And when

308
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 8: I did that, they pulled me out, and I said, hey,

309
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 8: the only thing that matters is my life, and if

310
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 8: you put me down there, I'm not going to survive.

311
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 8: And I'm not going down there right now. I'm going

312
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 8: to resist from there. I was since the prison that's

313
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 8: on the screen, that's Rodeo Uno. And as you can tell,

314
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 8: the conditions are extremely abysmal. You know, the government forces,

315
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 8: the soldiers, I really feel for them because they're just

316
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 8: as much hostage as that people they are guarding. Uh

317
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 8: and it's it. I was not surprised to see that

318
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 8: there was no anti aircraft, you know, artillery firing at

319
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 8: our planes, because these been, these been as well as

320
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 8: soldiers do not have people to fight. I had several

321
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 8: come up to me and whisper in my ear, Hey,

322
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 8: here's my Instagram. When you get out of here, I'll

323
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 8: pass to information. If you can get me safety United States,

324
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 8: I'll do so. So up to field grade level officers

325
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 8: in there in there on CIA. So, yeah, the conditions

326
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 8: were terrible.

327
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: Had you had you been in contact with any of

328
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: those soldiers since.

329
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 8: I had so uh they weirdly enough, as I was

330
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 8: getting flown out, I was rescued on my own and

331
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 8: it was about a twenty four hour process. If you

332
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 8: look at the photos of when I came back, they

333
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 8: actually fortunately shaved my head because I understood they weren't

334
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 8: going to respect my rights as a human being, as

335
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 8: an American. But I appealed to their religiousness, and I

336
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 8: said I was a Nazarene Christian. I wouldn't cut my

337
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 8: beard in my hair, but you know, just to show

338
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 8: the level of depravity before I left, eight guys and

339
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 8: tied me down and just fortunately shaved my head. Those

340
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 8: Asians have since reached out to contacts that I know

341
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 8: from my ex in Columbia, and they've attempted to make

342
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 8: contact with me. I've not done so just because I

343
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 8: feel a little sketchy about it, but certainly other hostages

344
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 8: who are there, their family members live in Caraccas. So

345
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 8: as soon as it's hit, within twenty minutes our group

346
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 8: drets were blowing up and we already knew it was window.

347
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 2: Joe, I guess the question to you, then there is

348
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: a possibility that with Maduro gone, the pressure from President

349
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: Trump in the United States military that there could be

350
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: a colorse of Maduro's regime and those inside that literally

351
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 2: want out of that as well.

352
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 8: Do you think, yeah, I think that what you see

353
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 8: here is probably ninety percent of the population want Maduro out.

354
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 8: And it's important to note that in this Black Side prison,

355
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 8: you know, there were Venezuela and loyalist soldiers who were

356
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 8: you know, dead to rights ja vistas, they're former economic

357
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 8: minister was there, Journalists who just released economic data were there,

358
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 8: and everyone there was afraid to utter the name of Madua.

359
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 8: They had to do a curled must that should talk

360
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 8: about them. So on one hand, yes, the Venezuelan people

361
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 8: want to be rid of this guy, but they also

362
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 8: want to be rid of the system because it is

363
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 8: an organized part. It is a criminal gang element, and

364
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 8: they act that way. That's why they can't actually collect

365
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 8: on people's cell phones. They force people to. They have

366
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 8: checkpoints every ten miles to open people's phones and search

367
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 8: for the name Madureau. Or if you have an American contact,

368
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 8: you're going to get sit to one of these prisons.

369
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 8: Or if you ventured the United States illegal and you're reported,

370
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 8: you're going to win these prisons. So those people are

371
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 8: really you know, it's really tragic what's happening to them, Joe.

372
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 8: But that being said, g gc Im and Sabine, they're

373
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 8: all implicated in this, and I'm not surprised. I've seen

374
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 8: a couple of videos as I'm saying, they're ready to

375
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 8: stay to fight. But many people don't know that. There's

376
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 8: also fifteen other high level individuals in Venezuela who have

377
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 8: been indicted, who have you know, the same price tags

378
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,719
Speaker 8: on their heads. And of course these people are going

379
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 8: to try to hold on the power. So my message

380
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 8: to you know, American forces and as well as Venezuelans

381
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 8: who are moving into power, you know, these elements need

382
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 8: to be dealt with. I don't I don't think this

383
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 8: is an Iraq. I don't think this is a forever war.

384
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 8: I think this was perfectly executed in the Venezuemen. People

385
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 8: need to step up and you know, lead this change at.

386
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: This point, Joe, last question for you before I let

387
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: you go, and so glad you're home. Your message to

388
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 2: President Trump, he was really the one responsible that administration,

389
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 2: President Trump, others of getting you freed and the others

390
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 2: that were free.

391
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: There were other American hostages. We profiled your.

392
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: Message to him about the weekend and getting you free

393
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 2: real quick.

394
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 8: You know, I owe my life to President Trump. I

395
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 8: had two things that kept me alive and kept me strong.

396
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 8: One was my faith in God, and you know, going

397
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 8: back to that. But the other was knowing Trump is

398
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 8: going into office and I had been sequestered and kept

399
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 8: from the other Americans for the first month I was there.

400
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 8: But when I showed up, they had all lost all hope.

401
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 8: They had protested, they'd breaken out of theirselves, and like me,

402
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 8: they were under false names. So I told them as

403
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 8: I said, Hey, the truth is, guys, we're not getting

404
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 8: out until January twentieth. But by the end of the

405
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 8: second week that he had got into office, we got

406
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 8: out and hope was restored, and every Venezuelan in that

407
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 8: country was rooting and praying and hoping for a US

408
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 8: intervision for at least the last three years.

409
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 5: Wow.

410
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 8: So thank you Trump, and thank you for what we

411
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 8: did this weekend. You were used by God.

Speaker 2: We'll talk about it next. Grant Cardone will join me.

440
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone. You know, I was blessed to be

441
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: down to the Florida Keys on vacation when the capture

442
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: of Maduro unfolded, and my very special lady friend, who

443
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 2: is a phenomenal stock trader by the way, she ought

444
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 2: to do it professionally, says to me, what is this

445
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: going to do to the stock market Monday? I said,

446
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: you know, I think it rises. I think this shows

447
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: American dominance. And sure enough what happened. The down made

448
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: record highs.

449
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: The S and P was up.

450
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: Of course, you had many of the energy stocks, Exon

451
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 2: and Chevron all up because you're gonna go back and

452
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: get what they owned.

453
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: It was their oral refinery equipment.

454
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: The Democrats forget that, and so sure enough, when you

455
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: have a leader like President Trump, this isn't chaos what

456
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: happened in Venezuela. It's control and that's when stocks boom.

457
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 2: This is Mark Rubio talking about the energy industry.

458
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 4: Pretty certain that there will be dramatic interests from Western companies,

459
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 4: Non Russian, non Chinese companies will be very interested. Our

460
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 4: refineries in the Gulf Coast of the United States are

461
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 4: the best in terms of refining this heavy crued and

462
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 4: there's actually been a shortage of heavy crud around the world.

463
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 4: So I think there will be tremendous demand and interests

464
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 4: from private industry if given the space to do it,

465
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 4: If given the opportunity to do it.

466
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't there be?

467
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 2: And the bottom line is what the Democrats don't understand

468
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: is this will enrich again the people of Venezuela. Remember

469
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: all this was stolen from them, and it'll be great

470
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 2: for America too and beyond. I want to bring in

471
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: now equity and fund manager, founder of Cardone Capital Grant.

472
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: Cardone is with us. Grant, welcome with the program. Great

473
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: to see you.

474
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 2: Well, it's great to see you. I got to meet

475
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: you over Thanksgiving. You said to come on the program.

476
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 2: Here you are, and what a day to come on.

477
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 2: Your thoughts about the.

478
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: Weekend and where we are now and maybe what this

479
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: means for the everyday American.

480
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 5: Grant, Well, what it means is that Donald Trump is

481
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 5: doing exactly what he promised to the American people. Here

482
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 5: we are what eleven months. In eleven months, it's Gulf

483
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 5: of America. We have our border secure. I don't know

484
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 5: that people understand where Venezuela is. I'm in Miami tonight, Grant.

485
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 5: It's a forty five minute trip from where my house

486
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 5: is to be there. It's five hundred miles. It's the

487
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 5: distance between Miami and Tampa. And so I think what

488
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 5: Donald Trump did here was again follow up on the

489
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 5: promise he made to the American people. When we think

490
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 5: about a border, we think about Canada and Mexico. Five

491
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 5: hundred miles is not very far away. And a lot

492
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 5: of drugs have come from there. And like you said,

493
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 5: our oil companies were ripped off by Madua. We went

494
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 5: back down there. China is absolutely creating a base there.

495
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 5: This is the western hemisphere. This is not across the planet.

496
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 5: And he did this in four hours. Man, like what

497
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 5: he did. It took Bush what eight years, forty five

498
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 5: hundred deaths, trillions of dollars, and Donald Trump executed in

499
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 5: one night, in less than four hours, without hurting anyone,

500
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 5: without anybody dying, without destruction of property. Bang problem solved

501
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 5: now we'll put the right person down there, and we'll

502
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 5: have control of our borders.

503
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: This is what he promised.

504
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 5: Also, gas prices are coming down, Oil prices are coming down,

505
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 5: Stock markets booming four to one case should be exploding

506
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 5: right now.

507
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: The goals, the silvers, for those of you.

508
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 5: Who do not believe in the dollar, those are banking

509
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 5: And I believe the only thing left for him to do, Grant,

510
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 5: is to fix Jerome pal get him out of there, get.

511
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: A fed in there that has some common sense.

512
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 5: Lower interest rates don't destroy housing prices, but because there's

513
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 5: too much home equity for Americans there, get interest rates

514
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 5: to the three and a half to four percent range,

515
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 5: and this economy is going to be just booming.

516
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 2: So I saw that on your exicount. I think everybody

517
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 2: out there knows that. Grant cardone. You're a big real

518
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: estate guy. You love real estate in fact, and the.

519
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: Four percent interest rate seems to be.

520
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 2: A sweet spot where you keep the price of your

521
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: real estate up yet you can afford a mortgage. I

522
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: think the days of the two point seven percent, which

523
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 2: I have, by the way, my house is phasically free money,

524
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 2: they're probably gone, but seventy percents out of control.

525
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: Nobody can afford a house grant. Yeah, well that's what's

526
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: made housing unaffordable.

527
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 5: I mean, the twenty largest cities in America, the mortgage

528
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 5: is almost double.

529
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: What the rent. Is the only way to fix that, Okay.

530
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 5: I had somebody hit me today and said, we want

531
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 5: lower home prices.

532
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: Be careful what you asked for.

533
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 5: Man, You don't want lower home prices if you're a

534
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 5: property owner. What you want is a lower payment to

535
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 5: be able to afford that home so that you can

536
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 5: enter into it.

537
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: And then the.

538
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 5: Idea is if, oh, lower interest rates are going to

539
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 5: mean more inflation, Well, the truth is this is American.

540
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 5: We have the greatest country on planet Earth, greatest consumer

541
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 5: economy in the world. It's unmatched by anyone. We should

542
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 5: have the cheapest money on the planet. Americans should not

543
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 5: be paying twenty percent of MasterCard and Visa and it shouldn't.

544
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: Even be allowed. By the way. Trump wants to fix that.

545
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 5: He also wants to fix your home martgage so that

546
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 5: it could maybe be a sub three percent. I think

547
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 5: he would actually entertain getting them back to those to

548
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 5: those levels. And he's also going to build a bunch

549
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 5: of homes in this first quarter, they're going to announce

550
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 5: him and book Bill poolty over Fanny May and Freddie Mack.

551
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 5: I believe we're going to announce the largest bill out

552
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 5: of new homes that has taken place in Americans seventy years.

553
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: All right, and think about it. To build homes, what

554
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: does that take?

555
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: It takes a lot of jobs, like working class jobs

556
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 2: that put real money in real people's pockets. The other

557
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: side that I'm worried about of that may take jobs.

558
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: I think people are going to have to figure out

559
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: a way not to be the task. This is what

560
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: I tell people in a world of AI. Don't be

561
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: the task. Your thoughts about AI and where we're headed

562
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: on that front.

563
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 5: Hey, look, we need plumbers, man, we need hvac people,

564
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 5: we need roofers. Guys, you don't even need to worry

565
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 5: about the AI yet. Okay, So what you need to

566
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 5: worry about is where's the opportunity in Americas with plumbers,

567
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 5: h bat roofers, landscapers. There's so much money that could

568
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 5: be made in this country. We have a booming, booming

569
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 5: economy where people want things done for them. AI is

570
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 5: that like it's going to do something for him, It's

571
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 5: going to give me intelligence without me having to go

572
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 5: to college. I would just tell Americans, we are a

573
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 5: great economy. You have to find those little places. This

574
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 5: is what I've done in my career. I found those

575
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 5: little places in the marketplace where I knew it would

576
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 5: be good for me and my family.

577
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: I could solve somebody's problems.

578
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 5: And I think plumbers and hvac and roofers and guys

579
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 5: repairing homes and the handyman is going to be the

580
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 5: doctor of the nineteen fifties in the year twenty twenty six.

581
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,959
Speaker 2: And I think people will have to understand that you

582
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: can build businesses around that. So you go in and

583
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 2: you be a plumber or a handyman. That doesn't mean

584
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: you got to stay on the job as a plumber

585
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: and handyman. You can start hiring people to do your work.

586
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: I had a sixteen year old come to my house

587
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: to sell me windows, and you know what, an eighteen

588
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: years old showed up to do the windows.

589
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: The sixteen year old had the eighteen year old working

590
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: for them.

591
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, and these things are almost forgotten trades and concepts

592
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 5: today because everybody wants to to somehow think that AI

593
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 5: is going to solve all your problems. AI is not

594
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 5: going to get rid of the basic personality, the energy,

595
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 5: the ethics, the persistence of the individual, these things that

596
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 5: Donald Trump has.

597
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: By the way, Okay, this is a guy that.

598
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 5: Promised to do something eleven months ago and this weekend

599
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 5: he's going hard. Okay, the American people weren't asking for that.

600
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 5: He went in there knowing it would cost him something.

601
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 5: He got in and he got out. That's the way

602
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 5: a businessman operates. And so I'm really really excited about

603
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 5: this year. I think it's going to be a great

604
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 5: year for those people that put their head down, stay focused,

605
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 5: and look for the opportunities. Because Donald Trump wants everybody

606
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 5: to make a lot of money. He's never ever been

607
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 5: shy about that. He wants every family to load up

608
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 5: and make more money than the banks make.

609
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: He does.

610
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: He wants a prosperous America and prosperous Americans.

611
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: Last question for you, Grant.

612
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: I've been following you a long time and I love

613
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: what you do because you also want that for people,

614
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: and I think that's a big part of success, is

615
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: when you help others get success.

616
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: Nobody's done that more than you.

617
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: I feel like and correct me if I'm wrong. Your

618
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: boldness on the political subjects has increased over the last

619
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: couple of years or so, Am I right?

620
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: And if so, why, well?

621
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 5: Because I own property, dude, because I have a family.

622
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 5: I have two beautiful kids in a marriage, and I

623
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 5: owned businesses, and I don't want people taking my stuff

624
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 5: away from you. I worked too hard to get it.

625
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 5: I came from the middle class. Nobody gave me anything,

626
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 5: I mean nothing. I was in debt when I was

627
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 5: twenty five years old, and I am a product of

628
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 5: the American dream, ethics, intelligence, energy. Put those three things

629
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 5: together and don't quit, and you can do anything you want.

630
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think there's any way I could

631
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 5: have done this in many other countries, but I did

632
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 5: it here. Maybe I could have I don't know, but

633
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 5: I did it here. I love this country, and I

634
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 5: want to see more people doing well. If you're the

635
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 5: only person doing well everybody around you is broke and broken,

636
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 5: then you're not doing well either. So it's in my

637
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 5: best interest that other people start looking at We lived

638
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 5: in California for twenty five years. I absolutely loved it, Grant.

639
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 5: I left there fourteen years ago because I knew that

640
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: they were no longer interested in me as a citizen

641
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 5: of that place, and they wanted to rob me and

642
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 5: steal from me. And you know, fourteen years later, I

643
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 5: was very right on that. So I'm more politically. I'm

644
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 5: it's not really politics that I'm interested in. It's freedom.

645
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: I want. I want my freedom.

646
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 5: And you know, we were trying to buy real estate

647
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 5: in New York City when Trump got his four hundred

648
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 5: and fifty million dollar fine on him, and we pulled

649
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 5: out of all those deals because I'm like, they'll do

650
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 5: it to him, they'll do it to me. So we're

651
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 5: in Florida, Texas and Tennessee and doing great business.

652
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: Well, it's so great to have you on the program.

653
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: It's so great to get to know you from one

654
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: Grant to another. It's not a lot of us out.

655
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 5: There, you know what, But do you know what your

656
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 5: name means? Tell me the name Grant means a guarantee.

657
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 5: You always do what you say you're gonna do.

658
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. I tell people I'm rit ninety

659
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: five percent of the time.

660
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: So that's a pretty dark good. That's great, guard Own.

661
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: Thank you buddy for coming on. Absolutely great to talk

662
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: to you at Grant cardone. You can follow him on X.

663
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: All right, folks. In twenty twenty three, a patriot was

664
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: charged with reposting a photo of a man in a

665
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: women's room. Oh right, we restroom. Now X has stepped

666
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 2: up to support her legal case.

667
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: We'll get into that next. Welcome back everyone.

668
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 2: Look, we know a huge problem is men in women's restrooms,

669
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 2: men pretending to be women. I'm sure if you're like me,

670
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 2: you've shared posts of men in women's restrooms. I'd do

671
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 2: it on this program, I'd do it on social media

672
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 2: all the time.

673
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: You ever think you'd get.

674
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: Charged with a crime for doing that, Well, that is

675
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 2: exactly what happened to the Texas Williamson County Republican Party

676
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 2: chairperson Michelle Evans.

677
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: She just shared some but.

678
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: He's post and the district attorney charged her with the crime.

679
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: I want to bring Michelle Evans into the program. Michelle, welcome, Hey,

680
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: thank you for having me.

681
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 8: Happy New Year.

682
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: Well, happy new year to you too. So you face

683
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: a criminal case, is that correct?

684
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 9: Yes, the state jail felony sex offense.

685
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: All right, tell me why that is a state jail

686
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: felony in the eyes of a radical Democrat anyway.

687
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 9: Yes, so in the eyes of a Travis County District

688
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 9: Attorney Jose Garza, I am guilty or should be investigated

689
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 9: at least for the sex crime of invasive recording. Part

690
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 9: of that particular penal code in Texas says that if

691
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 9: you even share a photo of somebody in this private space,

692
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 9: then you can be charged with a state jail felony

693
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 9: sex crime.

694
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: All right.

695
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 2: So, for everybody out there that doesn't know Texas politics,

696
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: the Travis County and the district attorney, there is a

697
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: radical goes after Republican lawmakers, just tries to make splashes

698
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 2: all the time. You the whole Michelle had somebody come

699
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 2: to your rescue in some respects and that's Elon Musk

700
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 2: and the platform X. He vowed he would support free speech.

701
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: He's doing that in your case. Tell me what happened

702
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 2: and how this works now with X.

703
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 9: So, after the Department of Public Safety officers confiscated my

704
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 9: phone on May twelfth of twenty twenty three, within weeks

705
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 9: I found out that I was being investigated for the

706
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 9: sex crime. We filed a lawsuit saying that this was

707
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 9: protected political speech. The man in the photo had already

708
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 9: announced that he was running for a state house. So

709
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 9: we argue that this is an unconstitutional application of the law.

710
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 9: On December ninth of twenty twenty five, eighteen months after

711
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 9: the fact, more than eighteen months after the fact, actually,

712
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 9: the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a panel opinion,

713
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 9: a two to one opinion, saying that Jose Garza should

714
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 9: be able to go ahead with the investigation. And within

715
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 9: a couple of weeks we got an email from Elon

716
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 9: Musk's legal team saying that they have invested interest in

717
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 9: the case and would like to see this through with us.

718
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 9: So they announced last Monday that they are proud to

719
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 9: support my case and take this as far as it

720
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 9: needs to go.

721
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: All right, So what does that mean for you? Are

722
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 1: they picking up the legal fees?

723
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: Are they there are attorneys actively involved in all of this.

724
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: What does it actually mean other than because I worry. Look,

725
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 2: I like X, I like Elon Musk. I just don't

726
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: want it to be lip service. Hey, we are going

727
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: to take a role and then you know, nothing happens.

728
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 9: Well, my personal attorney has already filed a petition to

729
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 9: do what's called an on bunk request. So having the

730
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 9: entire Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals take up my case,

731
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 9: and they have said that they will come in and

732
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 9: sup that and even further if needed, the details of

733
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 9: which I'm not super clear about yet. There's been no

734
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 9: discussion about financial support, which is kind of how the

735
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 9: rest of the media has interpreted their statement about supporting

736
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 9: the case. I still have legal fees being incurred from

737
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 9: my personal attorney, who is running point on all of this,

738
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 9: and we are just waiting for a response from the

739
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 9: Fifth Circuit to see what happens next.

740
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 2: Well, look, it is Texas, and when you start to

741
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 2: get into the appellate court systems, they tend to side

742
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: more with freedom and the Constitution than certainly other states do.

743
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: Michelle. Your thoughts though on all of this.

744
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we have a real problem in this country

745
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 2: where we think it's okay now, or people in this

746
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: country think it's okay that men can just go waltzing

747
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: into women's restrooms, and then they end up charging the

748
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 2: good guy, the law abiding citizen, with a crime, you, Michelle,

749
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 2: rather than like stopping the bad behavior.

750
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 9: Yes, and it's important to note that I was sort

751
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 9: of a well known political activist at the capitol for

752
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 9: a hearing. I'm sorry the House floor debate on the

753
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 9: bill to ban gender modification for miners in Texas in

754
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 9: twenty twenty three. I had advocated strongly for that bill,

755
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 9: so people knew who I was based on that, and

756
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 9: the Department of Public Safety lieutenant came straight to me

757
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 9: within hours of that going viral on Twitter. The man

758
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 9: is not facing the camera. He's fully dressed, washing his

759
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 9: hands at the sink. This was not invasive. This was

760
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 9: not a matter of his consent being violated. In fact,

761
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 9: it was a matter of our consent being violated by

762
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 9: him going into a women's only space. And things have

763
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 9: come full circle in Texas now we've passed the Women's

764
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 9: Privacy Act, which forbids men from being in women's private

765
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 9: spaces in public buildings like the Capitol where we were.

766
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 2: Well, it makes me think you don't have to be

767
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 2: President Trump for them to use the full force of

768
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 2: the judicial system to try to silence you.

769
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: They'll do it to any one of us if they can.

770
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 2: And I'm grateful there are people out there like you

771
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 2: speaking up, Michelle Evans, and.

772
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm appreciative of that.

773
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 2: All Right, folks, we are back in a flash.

774
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone.

775
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 2: How many of you have failed a new year's resolution,

776
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: whether it's a stop smoking, maybe it's to get healthy.

777
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: To those things of course go hand in hand. Just

778
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: watch this for a second.

779
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 10: So we started in the August five, five five. It

780
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 10: was amazing. We lost We lost weight that first week.

781
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 10: I've gone down five notches on my belt. If you

782
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 10: just follow the program, it works. I mean, this is

783
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 10: so simple and so doable. And so I just thank y'all.

784
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 11: I have no more body aches.

785
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 9: My mind does clear, my endurance is up, my heart

786
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 9: is just fuller.

787
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm able to give more and be more present.

788
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 7: It's changed our marriage.

789
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 10: It's changed our relationship, and it's so sustainable.

790
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 7: I can't say enough.

791
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: This has been life changing, folks.

792
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: The Energized Hell system is a total mind, body, soul change.

793
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 2: It really is for the better, of course, and what

794
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 2: better time to start. Then they have the my five

795
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 2: to five to five challenge going on. And it's the

802
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 2: John and I talk a lot about people failing at

803
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: New Year's resolutions. This should be the last time anybody

804
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 2: fails if they start this My five five to five

805
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: Challenge and ultimately go onto the Energized Health Protocol.

806
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 11: Your thoughts, Chelsea, Yes, Well, I just can base it

807
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 11: off the facts of helping tens of thousands of people

808
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 11: achieve all of their goals. You know, whether it's to

809
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 11: lose weight, whether it's to get rid of an ailment

810
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 11: or a disease that you're struggling with, or maybe you

811
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,719

815
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,360

00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 12: are watching us today, Listen. We want this to be

821
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 12: the last New Year's resolution you ever make. This can

822
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 12: be the last one you make, because it's the last

823
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 12: one you need to make. And I can tell you, guys,

824
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 12: my story is, I tried ten years. Nothing worked for me.

825
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 12: Everything was a failure. All I did was lost. Yeah,

826
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 12: I lost weight, all right, but I lost water and

827
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 12: I lost muscle, same thing all you guys are doing too,

828
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 12: if you just lose weight. But when I found this, guys,

829
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 12: I lost my fat. I lost my visceral fat, my

830
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 12: subcutaneous fat. I reversed my high blood pressure. I reversed

831
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 12: all of my joint pain, my brain fog.

832
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: And you guys can too. This can be the last

833
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: program that you ever do.

834
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 12: That's why we're doing it, grant so that people can

835
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 12: have their last New Year's resolution and their best New

836
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 12: Year's resolution they've ever done.

837
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: All Right, So, Chelsea, they talk about you guys talk

838
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: about getting hydrated at a cellular level, and this is

839
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 2: really the scientific key to all of that.

840
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: Can you give us a little explainer as to what

841
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: that means?

842
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 7: Yes, absolutely well.

843
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 11: In the My five five to five Challenge, we obviously

844
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 11: break that down. And we also offer VIP, which I'm

845
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 11: going to talk about a little bit here on the

846
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 11: show because it is going to answer the question you

847
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 11: just asked the bioimpedance device. So we should all know

848
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 11: what our hydration levels are. Most of ninety eight percent

849
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 11: of people we talked to have no clue what their

850
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 11: hydration levels are.

851
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 7: What does that mean?

852
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 11: How hydrated is your body? Your organs needed to function.

853
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 11: It's actually the number one thing you should know about

854
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 11: what's going on in your body. We will ship you

855
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 11: a device that can tell you how hydrated you are.

856
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 11: With that being said, it will measure your hydration inside. Now,

857
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 11: our body is all made up of cells, right, trillions

858
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 11: of cells. So intracellular hydration is basically taking hydration nutrition,

859
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 11: things that you're eating, you're drinking, infusing the cell to

860
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 11: get all of the inflammation and everything out of the body,

861
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 11: and hydrating the cell at the cellular level. A lot

862
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 11: of us we're drinking water we know we should be,

863
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 11: but it's not penetrating the cell. So that is in short,

864
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 11: what intracellular hydration is is hydrating the cells to get

865
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 11: the organs to function at their fullest.

866
00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: Well, I can tell you it made such a huge

867
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 2: difference for me. I lost fifteen pounds in two weeks

868
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 2: once I started the energized health protocol and doing everything

869
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 2: that you all spelled out to do. And it was

870
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 2: fairly easy, really simple. It was probably the best word

871
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 2: to use for all of this. John, your wife mentioned

872
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 2: this bio device that measures so many levels. Tell people

873
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 2: how they can get it, and then I'll tell people

874
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 2: how to get on the my five to five to

875
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 2: five challenge.

900
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 2: Democrat congress Woman Jasmine Crockett is hugely upset with the

901
00:46:48,920 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 2: Supreme Court over Texas redistricting. Welcome back everyone, So Congresswoman

902
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 2: Jasmine Krockt. We know she's a radical, we know she's

903
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 2: out of control. We know she's quite frankly, quite a

904
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 2: bit of a ding dong when you get down to it.

905
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 2: She's upset about Texas redistricting because we're gaining five Republican

906
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 2: seats in this state.

907
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: That's a good thing, by the way, maybe that's why

908
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: she's mad. Listen to her.

909
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 13: Kudos to Indiana for saan you. Kudos to California for

910
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 13: saying we're gonna fight back. Definitely, kudos to the Trump

911
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 13: justice who wrote the one hundred and sixty page opinion

912
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 13: denouncing what took place in Texas, and due to the

913
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 13: Supreme Court for what they did.

914
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 5: Well.

915
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 2: I've actually liked to give Jasmine Crocket a kudos. Kudos

916
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 2: to you for stepping down from your House seat to

917
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 2: run for the United States Senate in Texas. Because you

918
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 2: will out of public office in very short order. There's

919
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 2: no way you're winning that race, so kudos for getting

920
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,439
Speaker 2: into it. That's gonna do it for us, folks. Great

921
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 2: to see Euston Shield's army rolls. We'll see you tomorrow night,

922
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 2: seventeen mis
