1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys at home, but I 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: am exhausted. It feels like we have just been through 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: a battle as a country, a fighting for our nation back. 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how President Trump does it. I don't 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: know how he has so much energy. He never tires. 6 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: His stamina is so impressive. Because I am thirty nine 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: and I am exhausted. I don't know about you guys 8 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: at home, but even in this exhaustion, I feel the 9 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: most hope for the country I have felt in a 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: very long time. I'm not going to lie I was 11 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: losing hope for the future, or I was feeling like 12 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: we're never going to turn this nation around. That you know, 13 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: the bad guys have taken over. Common sense was dead, 14 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: the American spirit was dead. That people don't care about 15 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: freedom and liberty anymore. You know, we've had a lot 16 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: of those conversations on this show as well. I mean, 17 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: it was reflective of what was going on in this country. 18 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: But the good news is we're not alone in or 19 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: love for country and wanting to put America first and 20 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: wanting to make America great again. 21 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: The rest of the country agrees. 22 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: And it turns out, despite what we've been called you know, nazi, 23 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: is fascist, garbage, irredeemable, deplorable, all these terrible things, that 24 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: we're actually the majority of the country, These people who 25 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: name called and called us all these terrible things, that 26 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: they're the minority. That the mainstream media is actually the minority. 27 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: That Hollywood's actually the minority, That all these companies pushing 28 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: DEI and all these terrible things down our throat, that 29 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: they're the minority. The beauty of this election is not 30 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: only do I believe there's going to be this restoring 31 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: of the American spirit and patriotism, but hopefully restoring of 32 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: common sense as well. And Donald Trump hasn't even taken 33 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: off as yet, and we've already seen movement. We've already 34 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: seen Steve Madden, you know, three billion dollar shoe company, 35 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: announced that they are going to halt some of their 36 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: Chinese production to try to avoid Trump's tariffs. We've seen 37 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: Putin now saying he's willing to talk. We've seen amass 38 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: calling for an end of the war. They Iran Backhoth. 39 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: He is now announcing a ceasefire. You've got Eric Adams 40 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: saying that he's going to cut back on some of 41 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: the handouts to illegal aliens in New York City. So 42 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump hasn't even taken office and we've already seen 43 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: movement in a positive direction. Doesn't mean for the next 44 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: four years of Donald Trump's presidency. If we're already seeing, 45 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, the ducks fall in line, we're already seeing 46 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: things move in this positive direction, it can only mean 47 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: amazing things for the country during Donald Trump's presidency. 48 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: The beauty of all. 49 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: That is, I actually think he's going to get so 50 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: much more done than even he would have been able 51 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: to in twenty twenty. So I bet the Democrats are 52 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: kicking themselves for denying him that victory. Because what he 53 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: has now is a national mandate. He's got the popular vote, 54 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: the electoral College, he'll likely have he'll have the House, 55 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: he'll have the Senate all behind him. He'll have some 56 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: of the smartest minds who have turned around because they 57 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: saw what they the Left was trying to do to 58 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. They saw Donald Trump take a bullet to 59 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: the head and stand up and he'll fight, fight, fight. 60 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: And because of that, he's got people like Elon Musk 61 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: behind him. He's got people like Bill Ackman, He's got 62 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: all of these incredibly smart minds now behind him. So 63 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump will be heading into his presidency in these 64 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: four years with a mandate behind him, with some of 65 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: the smartest people behind him, and just a recognition that 66 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: he's been right this entire time. And so Americans will 67 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: finally be put first after being put lest over these 68 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: past four years. And so what I want to talk 69 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: about today is talk to someone who's really been with 70 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump since day one, since he walked down the 71 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: Golden Escalator, who's also just had a ton of experience 72 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: working in politics and also in the media, and so 73 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: has the historical perspective to talk about what we're seeing now, 74 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: what it means compared to you know, past presidencies and 75 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: past historical moments, but also what it means for the 76 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: future and what we should expect from this next Trump administration. 77 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: So we're going to talk to my friend Monica Crowley. 78 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: She's a brilliant woman and even better person. I adore her, 79 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: I love her. She's got the Monica Crowley Podcast. I've 80 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: worked with her when she was at Fox News. She's 81 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: also served as a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury 82 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump. She's worked with Richard Nixon, She's just 83 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: a brilliant woman. So I can't wait to hear her 84 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: perspective on this past election and what it means for 85 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: the future, because America is going to be great again. 86 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: Monica Crowley, your friend. 87 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: Just an incredibly smart woman and just an amazing woman. 88 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: So I'm so glad to have you on the show. 89 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: But you've also been I mean, you've been with Trump 90 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: since you know, twenty fifteen. You know, we walked down 91 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: the Golden escalator, you know, day one, and all of 92 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: this I bet you know, obviously relief for basically the 93 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: country being saved, but also probably you know, feeling of 94 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: vindication that you know, your instincts and your gut that 95 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: you were right in all of this. 96 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much, Lisa. It's so good to 97 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 3: be here with you and to share this massive victory 98 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 3: for all of us and for America and really for 99 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 3: the West. So good to share it with good friends 100 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: like you. So thank you so much for having me. Yeah, 101 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: you know Trump, I will say trump og I was there, 102 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: you know, standing by his side from June sixteenth, twenty fifteen, 103 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: when he came down that Golden escalator. I just and 104 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 3: people to this day, Lisa will say how did you know? 105 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 3: How did you know in June of twenty fifteen that 106 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 3: he was going to be it, that he's the one. 107 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: And all I can say to that, Lisa, is that 108 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,239 Speaker 3: at the time, I thought the country was radically different 109 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 3: for the worst after eight long years of Obama Biden. 110 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 3: I felt like the Republican Party was different, and I 111 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 3: felt like the country was different. And when we saw 112 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: this man come down the escalator and start spouting truths 113 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 3: about the state of the country, about the fact that 114 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: we've been lied to by the UNI Party in Washington, 115 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 3: d c. By the imperial media in Washington and around 116 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,239 Speaker 3: the country, by so many different forces that had full 117 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 3: control over the country the system. He started telling the 118 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 3: truth about all of that, and the scales fell from 119 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 3: my eyes, and I think from a lot of people's eyes, 120 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: because he was telling us the truth, even when the 121 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 3: truth was brutal. And I recognized that Donald Trump was 122 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: the disruptor that America needed. And I just felt like 123 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 3: everything he was saying was certainly resonating with me, and 124 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 3: I couldn't be the only one. You'll probably recall said 125 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 3: that in that first speech that he made when he 126 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 3: announced for president, he said he was talking about illegal 127 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: immigration and a porous border, and he said, look, they're 128 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 3: sending rapists and murderers, and they're not sending their best 129 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 3: some might assume are good people, but we have this 130 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 3: problem coming in. And he got absolutely clobbered the press, 131 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: establishment Republicans, they all jumped all over him. That was 132 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: the moment I said, wait a minute, he is actually 133 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 3: standing up for the forgotten men and women of this 134 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 3: country who have had their families, their livelihoods, their communities, 135 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 3: and their country decimated by horses in Washington and abroad 136 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 3: who not only don't care about them, but are actively 137 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 3: trying to destroy them. And here is one man standing 138 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: up and giving voice to them. So I have been 139 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: with him ever since, in all kinds of capacities on 140 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: the media in the first Trump administration, and I've never 141 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 3: been more proud to stand with him than on election 142 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: night this past week, where we saw him win and 143 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 3: accept that win. It's been such a journey for the 144 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: country and for people like you and me, Lisa, who 145 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 3: support the man.

Or you know, common sense is dead 168 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: and sort of all these like sentiments, and in reality, 169 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: what we found out from this election, which is such 170 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: a good feeling. 171 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: Is like we're actually part of the majority, you. 172 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: Know, and like these people the biggest megaphones, whether it 173 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: be Hollywood or media or whatever, like, they're the minority, right, Like, 174 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: so ironically, you know, these entities that are supposed to 175 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: represent you know what the rest of America feels are 176 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: are the minority and we're the majority. 177 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 3: Yes, And I just you know my and you know this, Lisa. 178 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: My very first job out of college in the mid 179 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 3: nineteen nineties was with former President Richard Nixon. So I've 180 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: now been blessed to have worked with two quintessential disruptors. 181 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 3: Richard Nixon was America First before there was America first. 182 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: And I worked with Nixon in the last years of 183 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 3: his life, and he and I talked about this many times. 184 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 3: He gave voice to that by calling us the great 185 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: Silent majority. And now that majority has stayed intact all 186 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: these fifty years. We are a center right nation. But 187 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 3: now the difference here, Lisa, is now we're known as 188 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 3: America First. But it's all the same people, just regular 189 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: hardworking Americans who over the last fifty years have really 190 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 3: become the forgotten men and women in this country, hardworking, 191 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 3: tax paying Americans who have seen their leadership on both 192 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 3: sides of the aisle Lie to them and sell them out, 193 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: and their lives have gotten so much, dramatically worse as 194 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 3: a result of their leadership professing to represent them but 195 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 3: really just seeking to enrich and empower themselves. And finally 196 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 3: you had, you know, you had a couple of disruptors. 197 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 3: You had John F. Kennedy, you had Richard Nixon, you 198 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 3: had Ronald Reagan, and the deep state targeted them above 199 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 3: all else. They all faced assassination attempts. Richard Nixon with Watergate, 200 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan had an assassination attempt in the first what 201 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 3: two or three months when he entered office. When the 202 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: system realizes they cannot control the leader, they've got to 203 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 3: try to destroy the leader. This is what makes Donald 204 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 3: Trump so exceptional is that he fought back. He has 205 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 3: now learned what the system is all about. So he's 206 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 3: a lot wiser now, not smarter, He's always been brilliant, 207 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 3: but wiser about the ways of the system and how 208 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: this all works. So he is going to be able 209 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: now to go in there, smash the system which is 210 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 3: so corrupt and evil, restore power back to the American 211 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 3: people as the founders intended. And the results is going 212 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 3: to be exactly what he delivered in the first term 213 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 3: only on steroids, a booming economy, an enforced border, law 214 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 3: and order, and peace your strength. Frankly, Lisa, I don't 215 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 3: know what more people expect or want from an American president. 216 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 3: He literally delivers everything you hire a chief executive for. 217 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: Well. 218 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: I don't understand how. 219 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost like he's not even human, Like 220 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: I don't understand how anyone can withstand what they. 221 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 2: Put him through. 222 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I thought, for sure at the beginning of 223 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: all this, I thought they were going to put him 224 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: in jail, and I was worried that because he's you know, 225 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: term momented obviously, that he wouldn't be able to get 226 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: enough done in the four years. 227 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: And now it's like. 228 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: It's almost like, you know, I mean, I hate saying this, 229 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: but it's almost like it's a good thing that they 230 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: sort of denied him victory in twenty twenty, because now 231 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: I think because of that and then all these terrible 232 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: and evil things that they have done to him, now 233 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: he has like the support of the country behind him. 234 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: You know, he's won the popular vote, he has swept 235 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: the electoral College, and now he has you know, some 236 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: of the smartest minds in the world, like people like 237 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: Elon Musk backing him, who probably wouldn't have backed him 238 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, who are with them now because they've 239 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: seen what this man has been through. They saw him 240 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: take a bullet, stand up, y'all, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, 241 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: and then go and address a crowd at the RNC 242 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: when most people would be like cowering in the corner, 243 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: right Like, I mean, I don't know how I would 244 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: handle an attempt at assassination. So it's almost like because 245 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: they denied him victory in twenty twenty and have done 246 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: so so viciously, it's like now he is walking in 247 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: to this last four years with the ability to, you know, 248 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: hopefully get so much more done than he probably would 249 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: have even been able to get done in twenty twenty. 250 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 2: So it's almost like. 251 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: You know, like the jokes on them, you know, like 252 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: you really screwed yourselves. 253 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 3: Exactly right. Look, they have thrown the kitchen sink at 254 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 3: this man for nine and a half years since the 255 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 3: moment he came down that escalator, and they began to 256 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: take him seriously because they started to see him begin 257 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 3: getting traction with the American people. They realized they wouldn't 258 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 3: be able to control him. So they have literally tried 259 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 3: to undermine, destroy, and frankly kill him for almost a 260 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 3: decade now, and they cannot believe that not only is 261 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 3: he still standing, but he's thriving and he's the incoming 262 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: president of the United States. Again, they cannot believe it. 263 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 3: So again, you know, the first time around, we didn't well, 264 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 3: let's go back. We didn't before Donald Trump, Lisa, we 265 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: didn't know what we didn't know, right, Like we would 266 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 3: happily vote for George W. Bush and Met Rodney and 267 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 3: John McCain and those were. 268 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: Really knew how corrupt everything was. I didn't, Like, I 269 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: still was sort of like in like you know, like, 270 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: oh the government is when all they're not so bad? 271 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: You know, Like it's like, I mean, like obviously we 272 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: thought Obama and we saw them target you know, the Irs, 273 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: target that party, so we started realizing, you know, the 274 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: corruption there. But you know, I think Trump really sort 275 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: of exposed just how bad it is. And then we 276 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: saw what they did to Kavanaugh, and then we saw 277 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: COVID and it's like, you know, I think there's sort 278 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: of been like a radicalization of Americans, of realizing like, 279 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: oh okay, our government is not with us, which is 280 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: what Trump's been telling us. 281 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: You know, it's been a real revelation. It's like the 282 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 3: scales have fallen from everybody's eyes because we've had this fearless, 283 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 3: strong warrior in Donald Trump who has stood up to 284 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 3: it and fought back and exposed it all in the process. 285 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 3: And that's why I think you're exactly right. I mean, 286 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 3: we sort of know, like they would put up a 287 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 3: bunch of Republican candidates and we'd be like, oh okay, 288 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 3: John McCain yay, Mitt Romney, yay. But they were all 289 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 3: part of the establishment and part of the system. And 290 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 3: I don't know whether they were controlled by the system 291 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 3: or not, this conversation for another day. But we were 292 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 3: given like a very controlled choice because they were meant 293 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 3: to be controlled opposition. Donald Trump comes out of nowhere 294 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 3: and they were like, holy crap, we can't control this guy. 295 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 3: And now he's got the people with him. So the 296 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 3: other candidates all had the system, like Kamala Harris had 297 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 3: the system with her, but Donald Trump had the people 298 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 3: with him. And when the people are educated, when they 299 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 3: understand it, when they see what's actually going on and 300 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: how it really is at basis spiritual battle. You know, yes, 301 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 3: we've got to go in and clean out the government 302 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: like this the stables of old, but this really is 303 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 3: I think more and more people now see the hand 304 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 3: of God on President Trump on this country, dodging the 305 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 3: assassination attempts. He saved for a reason, and the reason 306 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 3: is to bring this country back, because this country was 307 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 3: built on Judeo Christian principles. So I feel like, and 308 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people feel this way, God 309 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 3: is giving America one last shot. I had to get 310 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 3: it right. And I also kind of feel like God 311 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 3: allows people and countries to kind of hit rock bottom 312 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 3: so that they come back to Him. And I really 313 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 3: think we need a political revival, We need an economic revival, 314 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 3: and President Trump is going to do all of that, 315 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 3: a cultural revival, but we also need a spiritual one. 316 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 3: And maybe God allowed all of this to happen to 317 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 3: bring America back to him, but also to do some 318 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 3: work in President Trump too, because now he's more openly 319 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 3: talking about his faith. And I think that is all 320 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 3: to the good. 321 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: We've got more with Monica. 322 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: But first, last week, Americans voted and one of the 323 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: most consequential elections in our history. With all that is happening, 324 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: we know that the support of Americans like you means 325 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: so much to the people of Israel. 326 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 2: Especially now. 327 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: This past year, not only have we seen the war 328 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: rage on in the Holy Land, but we've also seen 329 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: an alarming rise in anti Semitism.

And 364 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: then you know, you remember that poll with the flag 365 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: that was wrapped around the pole and everyone was saying 366 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: it looked like an angel before before Donald Trump was shot. 367 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: And I just you know, kind of like collectively with 368 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: all of that, I just sort of I shared it 369 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: with everyone, you know, my Twitter and social media, because 370 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: I just like I was just kind of overcome with 371 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: this feeling of like God really has intervened in this election, 372 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: and like, you know, we you know, we better make 373 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: we better do something with these next four years if 374 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: if he's done that for us. So but yeah, you know, 375 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: when you're mentioning that, I was just thinking about all that, 376 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: and I totally agree with you that there is a 377 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: divine intervention in this election and he's not done with us, 378 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: which is great news because there's a lot I don't 379 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: want to do. 380 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: With my life I do. What else feels that that 381 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 2: way too. 382 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 3: Well, you know when you look at it, Lisa, like 383 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 3: human liberty is the gift from God. And if the 384 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 3: United States ever were to truly fall, and we were 385 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: well on our way because the communists, the globalists, they've 386 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 3: been chipping away at America for decades, almost a century now, 387 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 3: so we were very close to truly falling. If the 388 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 3: United States were to completely collapse like that, human freedom 389 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 3: would collapse because the West would collapse, and then there's 390 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 3: no hope for anybody around the world. So I really 391 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 3: do believe there was some divine intervention here. I don't 392 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 3: think God is done with Donald Trump yet, and I 393 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 3: don't think he's done with any of us, certainly not 394 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 3: done with America yet. And that is such a blessing 395 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 3: and it gives me such a huge motivation to try 396 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 3: to help President Trump. However, I can restore America back 397 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 3: to its foundational principles, restore power back to the American 398 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 3: people where it belongs, and to smash the permanent administrative state. 399 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: You know, it's so cool, Monica, I was reading about 400 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: because I also feel like this election, as you mentioned, 401 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: a revival of all things that you know, make America 402 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: great or make America great again, imagine, you know, so 403 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: it's simple, but Americans first, and make America greade again. 404 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: Yet uh, you know, but you have the people that 405 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: support that were called the you know, really really terrible things, 406 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: which you know, as you mentioned, they're just people who 407 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: support Trump, just good people who love this country. And 408 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: I really do believe this election I felt this way. 409 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: It's about patriotism. You know, I think Americans have been 410 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: yearning to want to be proud for their country, you know, 411 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: love for country that you know that we want more 412 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: Americans to revere the American flag and not want to 413 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: burn it down and so over the next four years, 414 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: America is going to be the home to two major 415 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: international sporting competitions. 416 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 2: You've got the World. 417 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: Cup, the FIFA World Cup, which I'm not the biggest 418 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: soccer fan, but it's so cool. And then you've got 419 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics hosted in Los Angeles. 420 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 1: And then we've got the nation's going to be celebrating 421 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: its two hundred and fiftieth birthday and is expected to 422 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: once again land on the Moon, all before the next 423 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: presidential election cycle. So I just thought to myself, like, 424 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: isn't it so fitting that Donald Trump is going to 425 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: be the guy overseeing all these momentas, you know, all 426 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: these incredible occasions for the United States, Like I feel 427 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: like that's just kind of like it's just really fitting, 428 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, and very cool that I'm going to be 429 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: celebrating America to this extent. 430 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm so moved by the idea of all 431 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 3: of that, you know. And also on July fourth to 432 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 3: have the fireworks over Mount Rushmore again in South Dakota 433 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 3: and having Governor Known there and just celebrating this country. 434 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 3: You're so right about this. It also is kind of 435 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 3: reminiscent of Ronald Reagan. Remember in nineteen eighty the Olympic 436 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 3: Games were in Lake Placid, New York, and the US 437 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 3: men's hockey team defeated the Russians, defeated the Soviet Union, 438 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 3: and that moment became absolutely emblematic of like a full 439 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 3: restoration of America and the American spirit and the American 440 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 3: people and patriotism and all of that right, and a 441 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 3: lot of that is is like echoing through to today. 442 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 3: This is going to be, as President Trump says, a 443 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 3: new golden age. 444 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: And I love that he wants to do this salute 445 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: to America two fifty and to not just a day 446 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: of celebrations, but to celebrate the country for an entire year. 447 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: And I just think like, not only just to renew 448 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: the American spirit and to remind us all of why 449 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: we're Americans and like what America stands for, because I 450 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: really think we've sort of lost sight of that, but 451 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: just sort of, you know, reconnecting with what it means 452 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: to be America and why America is so great. But 453 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 1: I also think I love the message that that sends 454 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: to the rest of the world, because it is very 455 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: clear that we are in a diminished state in the 456 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: eyes of our enemies and our friends abroad. And so 457 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: I also just think, like a year long celebration of 458 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: showing America or showing the rest of the world how 459 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: strong we are, how patriotic we are, that America is back, 460 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: and you know we're not going to be messed with 461 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: also just re establishes or standing in the rest of 462 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: the world as well. 463 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 3: You know, it really is the Trump effect. So within 464 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 3: forty eight hours of him being declared the winner, you know, 465 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 3: he got a phone call from Voladimir Zolinski, you know, 466 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 3: the Russians. Putin is saying we want to wind down 467 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 3: this wars. Olensky is ready to negotiate. Hama says, this 468 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 3: is it. We want peace with Israel. The Iranians have 469 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 3: stepped down. And then you've got like here at home, 470 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 3: New York City Mayor Eric Adams had a phone call 471 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 3: with President Trump and announced New York City is going 472 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 3: to be winding down giving away those prepaid debit cards 473 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 3: to illegal aliens. So it already, I mean President Trump 474 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 3: doesn't take office yet for another time and a half months, 475 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 3: two months something like that, and yet already it's having 476 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 3: a cascading effect. So just imagine when he gets in 477 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 3: day one on the resolute desk, he is going to 478 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 3: have a stack of executive orders, and at after he 479 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 3: takes the oath and he goes back to the Oval, 480 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 3: he's going to execute on all of that, and it's 481 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 3: going to be immediately seal the border, launch a mass 482 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 3: deportation effort, move to make the tax cuts permanent, drill 483 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 3: baby drill, lifting, all the regulations on American domestic energy production. 484 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 3: All of that is going into play literally within an 485 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 3: hour or two of him taking the oath. It is 486 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 3: going to be a breath taking time and so exciting. Lis, 487 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 3: I just can't wait. 488 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 2: Well, and that's the thing. 489 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: If all these things as you mentioned, already preemptively happening 490 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: before he even takes office, then what is the next 491 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: four year. 492 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 2: Is going to look like? 493 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: You know, I mean it just you know, this is 494 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: the first time you know, I've been you know, I'm 495 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: sure all of us have been just like really beaten 496 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: down over the past four years under this administration and 497 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: just kind of feeling like, you know, this is not 498 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: the America that I love, and you know, kind of 499 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: really you don't even COVID of just sort of feeling 500 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: like people don't care about freedom anymore. 501 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 3: And you know, like is it over? 502 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: Like really just we've had a lot of depressing conversations 503 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: on this podcast. I'm not gonna lie, and it was 504 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: a reflection of what was happening in the country, and 505 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, for the first time in a long time, 506 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: I just I feel so hopeful and I really do believe, 507 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, when Donald Trump talks about you know, dream 508 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: big or this golden age that we're going to have 509 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: as a country, like I really and even just as 510 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: you pointed out all those things that are already happening 511 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: when he's not even president, it just really makes you think, 512 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: you know, you know, how amazing are the next four 513 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: years going to be for this country? 514 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I mentioned Ronald Reagan earlier in her 515 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 3: chat here, and when Reagan was elected, Remember, Jimmy, one 516 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 3: of the big reasons why Carter lost was because we 517 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 3: had numerous American citizens being held hostage by the Iranian 518 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 3: regime in Tehran. So Reagan is elected and within the 519 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 3: moment he started taking the oath. On December twentieth, nineteen 520 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 3: eighty one, Iran released the American hostages Why because Iran 521 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 3: knew that he would go and kick their ass. Okay, 522 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 3: he was going to bomb them into oblivion unless they 523 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 3: released our people. And it is the same dynamic here. 524 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 3: It is achieving peace through strength. And you know, when 525 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 3: I was getting my PhD at Columbia in international affairs, Lisa, 526 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 3: I was told and taught that there is an actual 527 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 3: theory called the madman theory in international relations. And it 528 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 3: is all about a leader who is not technically crazy, 529 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 3: but is portrays himself and decision making and perhaps even 530 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 3: policy as just unpredictable enough that it keeps your enemies 531 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 3: off balance. And when your enemies are off balance, it 532 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 3: serves as a deterrent and those enemies do not act 533 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 3: against you, your citizens, or your interests. That the most 534 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 3: quintessential mad men theory in action. Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan. 535 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 3: But I got to say the best one of all 536 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 3: is Donald Trump. Why because when he threatens, he means it, 537 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 3: and our enemies know that, you know, terrorist organization sitting 538 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 3: in a cave somewhere going, holy crap, you know President 539 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 3: Trump might be crazy enough to nuke us. Yeah, yeah, 540 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 3: Because when it comes to the American people and America's 541 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 3: interests around the world. He puts them first, and so 542 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 3: in his first term he didn't even have to do anything. 543 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 3: He did not even have to lift a finger, Lisa. 544 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 3: It was his strict just presence, his being, and his bearing. 545 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 3: All he had to do was glare at Putin, and 546 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 3: Putin knew, don't even think about going into Ukraine because 547 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 3: if you do, there's going to be hell to pay. 548 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 3: Not even going to tell you what it is. But 549 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 3: and he Trump tells the story about steering down the 550 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 3: leader of the Taliban and showing him a picture of 551 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 3: his home from a satellite. 552 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 2: I love that. I was just yeah, I love that. 553 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: I was just thinking about that when you're saying yeah, 554 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: uh huh, don't. 555 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 3: Even think about it. So Trump doesn't even have to 556 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 3: follow through with any of these threats, whether it's military, 557 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 3: economic sanctions, although we did do a lot of economic 558 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 3: sanctions or tariffs for example. He knows the power of 559 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 3: the threat, and he knows that he has all of 560 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 3: the leverage, So why not use it. If you're president 561 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 3: of the United States and you're sitting on the most powerful, 562 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 3: greatest nation, with all of our power and resources behind you, 563 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 3: why would you squander that or why would you not 564 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 3: use that. Trump knows the art of the deal, the 565 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 3: art of the negotiation, and the art of the threat. 566 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 3: And that's why we were safe for four years the 567 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 3: first time him, you had no invasions China, Russia, Iran 568 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 3: with a nuclear weapon. All of that was frozen in 569 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: time because they dared not move. And this time around, 570 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 3: I think it's going to be even better. 571 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you can go through and just look 572 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: at all these acts of strength he did without putting 573 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: or men and women in harm's way or without creating 574 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: like you know, even just sending those what was it 575 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: fifty nine Tomawk Musciles. 576 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 2: I believe I'm trying to remember the number. 577 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: But to Syria when he first took office, or dropping 578 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: the mother of O bombs in Afghanistan, and I think 579 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: he was like having chocolate cake with President Gi when 580 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: he was bombing Syria and like told him, you know, 581 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: and or you know, moving the embassy and you know, 582 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: in to Jerusalem and uh, what was it, you know, 583 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: taking out Castam SOLMANI like just all these acts of strength, 584 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: like really just flexing the American muscle, as you pointed out, 585 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: like they have to know that you will follow through 586 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: and they knew that with him. Do you think, you 587 00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: know so because it was such a clear mandate, do 588 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: you think that, like the media, the mainstream media will 589 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,239 Speaker 1: back off a little bit and some of these you know, 590 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: left wing crazies that really they didn't deny him, you know, 591 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: his time in office, but they were a nuisance with 592 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: all these impeachment hearings. And you know, do you think 593 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: some of that will go to the wayside now that 594 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: he has such a clear mandate behind him, or you know, 595 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: what kind of fight do you think he's going to 596 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: have to be up against as he tries to get 597 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: all these amazing things done for the country. 598 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 3: Well, you know, the system still remains very powerful, and 599 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 3: the system is not just going to let him march 600 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 3: back in and do whatever he wants. I mean, they've 601 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 3: literally tried everything to stop him, so they're not going 602 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 3: to stop now. And the true revolutionaries in the media 603 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 3: and on Capitol Hill, like the Acason of the world, 604 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 3: they're not going to stop throwing things at him. But 605 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 3: the difference this time is he is aware of what's 606 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 3: coming at him. Yeah, you know, back in January of 607 00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, when you know missus. Clinton's original Russia hoax 608 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 3: was then adopted by President Obama on his way out, 609 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 3: and then the system took it on themselves to undermine 610 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 3: his entire presidency with a lie. They now have been 611 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 3: exposed more and more, and President Trump put out a 612 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 3: video yesterday and I put it up on my Twitter, 613 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 3: putting out notice to the deep state, like you're done, 614 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 3: the party is over. Here's what we're going to do. 615 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 3: And he's going to put leaders in charge of these 616 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 3: institutions to either raise them to the ground completely or 617 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 3: reform them in the way that needs to be reformed. 618 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 3: So they're going to continue to attack him. But the 619 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 3: fact that he got such a huge mandate and the 620 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 3: fact that the Republicans, the Conservatives, control all three branches 621 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 3: of government starting in January, White House, House, Senate, and 622 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 3: Supreme Court, it seems to me that the people who 623 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 3: are going to continue to attack him are going to 624 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 3: look small, They're going to look petty, they're going to 625 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 3: be exposed even more. Again, that doesn't mean they'll stop, 626 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 3: but I think there's going to be tremendous pressure to 627 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 3: kind of lay back a little bit again. Not the 628 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,719 Speaker 3: diehards that are going to continue this, but I think 629 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 3: you know, if they're going to try to throw stuff 630 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 3: at him that's based on lies and hoaxes, it's going 631 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 3: to be exposed a lot faster, and they're going to 632 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 3: be discredited even more than they already are and exposed 633 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 3: and basically turned into laughing stocks.

Thankfully, there's companies 640 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: like Patriot Mobile that still believe in America and our constitution. 641 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm proud of partner with Patriot Mobile because they're on 642 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: the front lines fighting for the First and Second Amendments, 643 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: sanctity of life, and for our military and first responder heroes, 644 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: take a stand for conservative causes and put America first. 645 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: By switching to Patriot Mobile today, you'll get the same 646 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: nationwide coverage as the big providers because Patriot Mobile operates 647 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: across all three major networks, Plus they back their service 648 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: with a coverage guarantee.

No, 658 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm so glad it was such a clear mandate because 659 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: to your point, you know, it doesn't mitigate the total crazies, 660 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: but it probably. 661 00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 2: Mitigates some of it. 662 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: You know, Mona, I wanted to ask you before we go. 663 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,479 Speaker 1: I think one thing that I found so impressive about that, Well, 664 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: first of all, the Trump campaign just did a really 665 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: brilliant job in all aspects of campaigning. But you know, 666 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: I used to work on the communications side, so one 667 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: aspect I was really impressed with is you know, obviously 668 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: they got universally negative media coverage. We've seen that in 669 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: the studies that Media Research Center has done. But in 670 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: order to bypass that, they really made use of podcasts 671 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: of the interview he did on X of just these 672 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: really creative earned media events like working at McDonald's for 673 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: the day or showing up when a trash truck just 674 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: and that's not easy to do, right, Like, I don't 675 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: think any other candidate would be able to break through 676 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: that sort of wall of like unprecedented media bias. But 677 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: he was able, you know, his campaign and he was 678 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: able to find a way to do that, and it 679 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: was just it's a really brilliant strategy and I was 680 00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: I was very impressed by the way they navigated it. 681 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 3: Brilliant. Yeah, And you know what, because he was more relaxed, 682 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 3: I think because he was starting to see the numbers 683 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 3: come in too. So Kamala had a bit of a 684 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 3: burst right after Biden stepped down and she was installed 685 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 3: as the nominee and then her convention and so on. 686 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 3: But then the number started to really shift back into 687 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 3: President Trump's favor and so he could kind of relax 688 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 3: into the campaign and enjoy it more. And those iconic 689 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 3: moments of working the friar at McDonald's and being in 690 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 3: the passenger side of a garbage truck and then doing 691 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 3: the rally that night wearing the sanitation worker vest and 692 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 3: then making a joke about it about how he didn't 693 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 3: want to wear it, he wanted his typical blue suit on. 694 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 3: And his staff really played to his vanity and said, oh, 695 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 3: but mister President, you look a lot thinner in that 696 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 3: I mean hysterical, right, And he. 697 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: Was like, oh yeah, story was so funny, Like. 698 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, so funny. Those iconic moments, you know, are so 699 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 3: important because what they showed is that he is with 700 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 3: the forgotten men and women, the hard working American people 701 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 3: who make this country go every single day, and that 702 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 3: he has not changed one bit since he came down 703 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 3: that escalator and spoke directly to the forgotten men and women. 704 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 3: And he is right there, whether he's a former president 705 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 3: and a future president, he's a sanitation worker just like 706 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 3: the guy down the street is, and that he is 707 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 3: there for them and he is fighting for them, you know. 708 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 3: And by the way, he looks so comfortable in these jobs. 709 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: You know, and had fun with it, you know, him 710 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: to really enjoy being around people, and you know, and 711 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: was like. 712 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 3: And he was and people sense that authenticity versus Kamala 713 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 3: bringing out a different accent every five minutes, depending on 714 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 3: her audience. That kind of raw authenticity is worth its 715 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 3: weight in gold, in life, and especially in politics. So 716 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 3: Trump is the same person whether he's talking to you 717 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 3: or me, Lisa, or whether he's talking to your local 718 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,240 Speaker 3: garbage man or a school teacher or a fighter fighter 719 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 3: or President Jijimping. He is the same man and people. 720 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 3: This is his superpower really because he's like, look, I'm 721 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 3: here to serve I'm a heder here to serve you 722 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 3: because I am you, and I respect you and I 723 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 3: admire you, and you're doing an honest day's work for 724 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,359 Speaker 3: an honest day's pay, and God bless you. You're making 725 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 3: this country run. And I am here to fight for you, 726 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 3: not to fight for myself, not to fight for Paris 727 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 3: and Brussels, to fight for you. I mean there's been 728 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 3: I don't know that there's been a more powerful message 729 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 3: or messenger in American history. 730 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 2: That's true. 731 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm way better than me, But 732 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: the interactions I've had with him, it's like you're almost 733 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: kind of like you're or. 734 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 2: Even you know, he's so normal and like funny and just. 735 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: Treats you with such kinda as that you kind of 736 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: forget that like this is a billionaire and the pred 737 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: of the United States, Like he's just like normal and 738 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: just you know, was very kind and I think one 739 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: thing and I'd love to hear we have to say 740 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 1: about this and then we can go. It seems as 741 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: if since the first assassination attempt, you kind of just 742 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: see it in his interactions and his mannerisms, and it 743 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: seems like he's even more purpose driven than he was 744 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: before in the sense of just recognizing that, Like he 745 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 1: even said it in his acceptance speech the other night, 746 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: about how God saved me so I can save the country. Yeah, 747 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 1: it just seems like that has really resonated with him. 748 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 1: And even you saw it during the R and C 749 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: convention when he was surrounded by with his grandkids. There 750 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: was just a softness on his face of just it 751 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,359 Speaker 1: seems like he was just really embracing the moment and 752 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: recognizing that God spared him and that he's you know, 753 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: he's here to do so much more. Do you get 754 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: the sense of that from him and that that's just 755 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 1: changed things so much? 756 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I do. I mean he's still a fighter, 757 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 3: and he's all hilarious, and he's still brilliant, and he's 758 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 3: still the best community political communicator I've ever seen, but 759 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 3: there's something changed in him. And remember earlier in our 760 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 3: chat today, Lisa, we talked about the hand of God 761 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 3: and I said, maybe God had more work to do 762 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 3: in him to bring President Trump closer to him. I 763 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 3: think you see that. I think he really believes, like 764 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 3: you know, throughout the Bible Old Testament, New Testament, God 765 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 3: uses really imperfect people to do extraordinary things, whether it's 766 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 3: Abraham or Moses or David or the Disciples. I mean, 767 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 3: there's only been one perfect person to stride the earth, 768 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 3: and that was Jesus Christ. So we're all imperfect. But 769 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 3: He's taken people who are profoundly in some ways flawed 770 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 3: to show out through them through their faith, through their belief, 771 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 3: through their acts. And I think we're living through one 772 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 3: of those extraordinary moments right now. And how exciting is that. 773 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 3: I'm getting shills just saying that to you. It's so 774 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,919 Speaker 3: exciting to be part of that, don't you think? 775 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm excited that. I feel like the 776 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: podcast episodes moving forward are going to be happy find 777 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: out right.
