1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: It's that time time time, time lucking load. So Michael 2 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: Very show is on. 3 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 2: The air. 4 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: Night looking into mic week. Gotta feed a beard. I 5 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: don't plan to shave, and it's you the thing, but 6 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: I just gotta see I'm doing all right. We'll go 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: mixing more. 8 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: It's I'm beating Ridictu and that's true. 9 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: It's neither drink nor drug and noo, I'm just doing 10 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: all right. It's a dead I know it sounds still 11 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: shining in a close my eyes. 12 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: It's had times in the bag, the biking, every day, 13 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: busy parts. A lot has happened that we need to 14 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: get to. I can remember when a number of big 15 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: stories would break in rush. On his first day back, 16 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: he said, no, you want to ever talk about this, 17 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: and you want to know about this. We will get 18 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 2: to it as the show rolls along, or as the 19 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: show develops. I worry that three hours won't be enough 20 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: to get through the morning show in two hours added 21 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: to it for all the things that have happened over 22 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,559 Speaker 2: the last few days. But we will do our absolute best. 23 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: The most recent story and dominating the news is, of course, Venezuela, 24 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: and we will begin to discuss that and discuss that 25 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: almost exclusively for much of the show today, starting in 26 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: about ten minutes maybe less. There is a lot to 27 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: say about what has happened in Venezuela, the Democrat reaction, 28 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 2: including don't laugh, Lena Hidalgo with a very surprising reaction 29 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: to that. Democrats criticizing Trump as they must. 30 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: That's what they do. 31 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 2: They just criticize what he does for Venezuela after we 32 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: have them on record, Chuck Schumer among them, saying that 33 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: Trump is weak and ineffective because he has not removed Maduro. 34 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: So the moment he does, they criticize him for removing Maduro, 35 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: trusting as they do that. Most people won't remember they 36 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: ever said that, But we'll get to all of that. 37 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: There are some interesting stories in our own community. As 38 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: we turn the page. We also turn to the beginning 39 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: of what really is primary season now, which interestingly is 40 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: less than two months away. So we will sprint toward 41 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: that day as the campaigns will pick up spending in 42 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: all media. You won't be able to open your mailbox 43 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: for those of you who still receive mail without all 44 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: of My opponent is a terrible guy. My opponent is 45 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 2: a cannibal. My opponent is which speaking of cannibals, two 46 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: cannibals were eating dinner together Ramon. One of them says, 47 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: geez I hate my mother, and the other one says, well, 48 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: try the potatoes. 49 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: Let me try that again. You might have just need 50 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: you a little. 51 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: Somebody asked me if you were going to warm up 52 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: the dinger before the show started, so you wouldn't figure. 53 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: We try that again. Two cannibals are eating dinner together. 54 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: One of them says, geez I hate my mother, and 55 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: the other one says, well, then try the potatoes. 56 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: Very nice, very nice. 57 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: Indeed, yes, Superhero gets both of his front teeth knocked out. Friencess, 58 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: how are you feeling? He said, it's thor it's thor. 59 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thank you. 60 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: All right, so we would get to Venezuela. But first, 61 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: to me the bigger, long term story. The reason we 62 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: have a thirty eight trillion dollar debt, as Dosee exposed, 63 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 2: was in goo transfers governmental waste. 64 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: We could operate our government for ten cents on the. 65 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: Dollar what we do, but we have built in fraud 66 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 2: on a scale on a breadth that is beyond belief. 67 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: And let's be clear, it's not just in MOGADI issue Minneapolis, 68 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: it's in Houston, Texas as well. The operation at Harris County, 69 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: the twenty million dollar contract for the COVID outreach that 70 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: got Lena had Augo's top three people indicted, the money 71 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: that goes to her travels to Paris, and the entire 72 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 2: posse of security she wanted to bring. The fraud and 73 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: corruption that happens in Harris County might not be as 74 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: big as mogad issue, although we don't know, but it's massive. 75 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: We will get to Venezuela. But the big news we 76 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: know things are bad for Tim Waltz. 77 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: Because and when I first heard this story, I thought no, no, 78 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: no no, because it was from a local political consultant 79 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: out of Mogodi issue that Tim Waltz would be resigning. 80 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: Today it looks more and more likely that that's going 81 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: to be the case. Local news there reporting at New 82 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: York Post had a big story this morning. A number 83 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 2: of folks reporting that the late morning press conference from 84 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: Tampon Tim is where he will announce that he is 85 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 2: dropping his reelection bid for this year, and that would 86 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: suggest that bad things are coming for Tampon Timmy Fox 87 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 2: nine out of Mogadishu. 88 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: So I think we've heard for many days that there 89 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: was a lot of pressure from Democrats on Governor Walls 90 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 3: whether or not he was going to stay in this race. 91 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: But I learned late today. 92 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 3: That he met with Senator Amy Kloeshard today and tomorrow 93 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 3: his schedule is an all staff meeting and then some 94 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: media briefings. 95 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: They have not put out his public. 96 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 3: Schedule yet for tomorrow, but my sources are telling me 97 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: that he will make a major announcement tomorrow and that 98 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 3: it is likely that he'll drop out of the governor's race. 99 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: The idea that the fraud story is not going away. 100 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 3: We're going to have more indictments, and the headlines are 101 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 3: just going to continue. And you know, most people, including 102 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: Democrats that I talked to, say they don't believe he 103 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: sees the issue early enough that he didn't take it 104 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 3: seriously early enough. 105 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: And now we look at the last. 106 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: Two weeks, three weeks and the national and the federal 107 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: government really coming down on Minnesota. I wrote last year 108 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 3: what to watch in twenty twenty five was how Governor 109 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: Wallace re entered Minnesota, And I think it took him 110 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: a while to get his feedback under him after his 111 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: VP run, but I think he found his way and overall, 112 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: his approval ratings were, you know, in the mid forties, 113 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 3: solid for a second term governor in a divided state. 114 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: So I feel like he caught his feet after the 115 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: VP run. 116 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: But this is something that I don't think that he 117 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: thinks he can recover from. I also believe in my 118 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 3: heart that the tenor and tone is exhausting seeking a 119 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 3: third term being on the national stage, the tenor tone 120 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: of politics, losing speak, Garmatis Hortman, going through just the 121 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 3: tragedy of annunciation. 122 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: That's got to wear on just the human soul. And 123 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: you know how much energy would he have for. 124 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 3: A third term, especially if the pressure of Washington and 125 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 3: further kind of polarization and heightened threats to him, you know, continued. 126 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: Forest for the trees. Brother, you're too close to the 127 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: problem to see the scale of it. 128 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: And now we understand why Tim Waltz was chosen as 129 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: the vice presidential candidate. 130 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: They wanted to take this fraud nation wide. Venezuela talk 131 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: coming up. 132 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 2: Michael Berry, Well, our friend Chance McClain, part of the 133 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: show and small business owner and all around great guy 134 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 2: posted over the weekend or posted yesterday. Let's be honest, 135 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and 136 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 2: you kind of feel that way if you've been off 137 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: from work for a few days, traveling or just relaxing. 138 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: You kind of feel like, well, this is the first 139 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: day of the new year that we're in our routine. 140 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: Although a lot of the schools haven't started back. The 141 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: young Roblist boys are downstairs today because they're off from school, 142 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: and I suppose a number of you have children who 143 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: are as well. But we're back to it, and frankly, 144 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: may I say glad to be so back in the routine. 145 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 2: So let's start with Venezuela. Is this a story of oil, 146 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: drug trafficking, human trafficking, Yes, yes it is. 147 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: It's a story of all of that and so much more. 148 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: If you've listened to the show. 149 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 2: For any length of time, you know that I am 150 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: against what is often called regime change, or particularly nation building, 151 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: and so this has caused a number of Democrats to 152 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 2: jump up and use that term, a term that they 153 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 2: are not necessarily opposed to, but they hear these terms 154 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: and they have to attack Trump with everything they have. 155 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: Look at everything thing else they've attacked him with It 156 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. They sent the man to the court house. 157 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: They tried to send him to prison, so they'll stop 158 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 2: at nothing. This is a dangerous time and we have 159 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 2: to keep an eye on this because this is the 160 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 2: moment when the neocons insinuate themselves into power. 161 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: That's what they do, those who love war. I saw Lindsey. 162 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: Graham so lathered up on television yesterday that I thought, 163 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 2: my goodness, Safe Harbor is overnight. This is damn near porn. 164 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 2: This guy is so horned up over the idea of war, 165 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 2: he doesn't know what to do. So we do need 166 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,599 Speaker 2: to be careful at a time like this because the 167 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: neocons will have boots on the ground in the long 168 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 2: term war if they can possibly get it the bush, 169 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 2: the chainey Lindsey Grahamnesty, that group of people at a 170 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: moment like this is very, very excited at the opportunities, 171 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: and we must be mindful of that. One of the 172 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: questions that the media and the Democrats are asking is 173 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 2: under what power does the president invade a country? And 174 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 2: I suppose you could argue we didn't necessarily even invade them. 175 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 2: So twenty two minute Land and exfiltrate the leader of 176 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 2: a nation, or is he the leader of a nation? 177 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: Over fifty countries did not recognize him as the leader 178 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: of a foreign nation, a sovereign nation. In twenty thirteen 179 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: when he came to power, he stole that power and 180 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 2: a great number of countries, and including most of the 181 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 2: countries you would take seriously have not recognized him. In fact, 182 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: we did not recognize him, never have as the leader 183 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 2: of Venezuela. And the story of Venezuela is quite sad. 184 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: Actually. 185 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: When Chavez came in in ninety eight and took out 186 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: office and took power in ninety nine, through what they 187 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 2: so desperately attempted to make a pay here to be 188 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 2: a legitimate government, that country went downhill. And interestingly, the 189 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 2: Chavez platform was to help the poor and reduce corruption. 190 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,599 Speaker 2: And here we are twenty six years later. There was 191 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 2: a headline in the New York Times, Could eating rabbits 192 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 2: be the answer? Could eating household pets be the answer 193 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: to Venezuela's food woes. So we went from Mamdani's warm 194 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: embrace of collectivism, which is Marxist socialism, to eating your 195 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 2: family pet to survive. And that is the reason that 196 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 2: we have hundreds of thousands of TPS residents Protective Service, 197 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 2: temporary protective services, temporary and quotes residents in this country 198 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 2: from Venezuela. That is why you saw so many people 199 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 2: in Florida, a large popular of Venezuela's in New York, 200 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: where President Trump had a good sense to parade. 201 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: Moduro through the town. That is the reason. 202 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: If you look at pictures of Venezuela's largest cities, you 203 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: see the crowds packing publicly where they've not been able 204 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: to get out in public and speak out against the regime. 205 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: But we start with a question of the power with 206 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: which or. 207 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: Through which the President claims to be able to send 208 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: in delta force and extricate. 209 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: Moduro. 210 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 2: And it's interesting because the president does have a number 211 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 2: of powers. But the argument you could use is either 212 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: the Defense Department our military or the Justice Department our 213 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 2: legal system, if this is a national security risk. In 214 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 2: the twenty five page indictment, they appear to be not 215 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 2: only prosecuting an individual, but laying out the case that 216 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: this individual is a national secure party risk. And in fact, 217 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 2: the President used both delta force from the Defense Department, 218 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 2: one of our special ops organizations. I sent a message 219 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: to Marcus Sitral and I said, I thought about you, 220 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 2: or I thought about I said, watching those Delta Force boys, 221 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: I thought about a certain other special Ops Navy seal 222 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 2: from Willis, Texas and his exploits. And he said, all 223 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: I can say is I'm incredibly proud of those boys. 224 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: The mission was carried out with tactical precision, absolute tactical precision. 225 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 2: Not one American, not one died in that effort. You 226 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 2: think about landing in a country. Venezuela is not a 227 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: Banana republic, or at least wasn't. Venezuela has a real military, 228 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: They have real assets, although as you've come to learn, 229 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: it wasn't Venezuelan's who were protecting Maduro, it was Cubans. 230 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: In fact, the Cuban government says thirty two Cubans were 231 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: killed during the raid, thirty two Cubans who were guarding Maduro. 232 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: The relationship between Cuba and Venezuela goes like this. The 233 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: Cubans provided the muscle to keep the Maduro regime in power. 234 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: The Venezuelans provided the oil to sustain to the extent 235 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 2: that they do the Cuban government. 236 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: And we'll find out. 237 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 2: The Irani's, the Chinese, and the Russians are in on 238 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: this as well. It's a fascinating story. A lot has 239 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 2: been revealed and more will be coming up. 240 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: He sold separately. 241 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: Fox News has now joined with CBS and a number 242 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: of others and they are confirming their belief that Tim 243 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 2: Waltz will resign in just will announce he is not 244 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 2: running for reelection, which means he will serve out his 245 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: term he was up this year and this yes tells 246 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: you a lot about why Tim Waltz was chosen to 247 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: be Kamala Harris's running mate. 248 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: There are. 249 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: Nefarious forces at play who feed or feast off of 250 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: your tax dollars and redirect that money to immigrant immigrant groups, 251 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: Soros funded organizations, NGO's and evil the Somalis, this warlord 252 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 2: culture of fraudsters in this country who seemingly contribute nothing 253 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: other than the perpetuation of fraud in this country. Think 254 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 2: about the names that we've seen out of Minnesota, ilhan 255 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: Omar marrying her brother, the evil she has brought to 256 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 2: this country, declaring how much she loves Somali and hates America, 257 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: her husband, boyfriend. It's the whole thing that kind of 258 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: reminds me of Lena Hidalgo and her little nerd, although 259 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 2: he at least had the good sense to divorce her 260 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: after of course going through his entire life savings to 261 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: put her through the nuthouse. Ilhan Omar. You think about 262 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: Keith Ellison, the attorney general. There the very man who 263 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 2: should have been overseeing the prosecution investigation of fraud in 264 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 2: the state of Minnesota, and yet he's Keith Ellison. 265 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: You think about Jacob Frye, the mayor. 266 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 2: You think about the fact that in what was a 267 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: coordinated psyop, it was Mogadishu, Minnesota, where the entire George 268 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 2: Floyd event went down. There are black men who die 269 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 2: from a fentanyl overdose in the custody of the police 270 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 2: every day. That was the story they could control. And 271 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 2: mind you imagine Derek Chauvin when he finishes his cleanup 272 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 2: duty for the day and looks up on the screen 273 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: and realizes, see, I told y'all this place is corrupt. 274 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 2: Then of course you've got Tim Waltz, the governor. We'll 275 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 2: get to him in a bet. The indictment against Maduro 276 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 2: in Venezuela charged him with, among other things, and I 277 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 2: think this will turn out to be very important, selling 278 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: diplomatic credentials to Narco traffickers to travel to Mexico with 279 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 2: full diplomatic community to run cartel activities. That means that 280 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 2: using the power of the state a country, he was 281 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 2: able to give legitimacy to individuals who were traveling to 282 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 2: Mexico where they were coordinating cartel activities. He was able 283 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 2: to create an environment. And we're seeing this. The fellow 284 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 2: who's overseeing world peace and security for the United Nations 285 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 2: is from Somalia. This is what the criminal organizations now do. 286 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:22,239 Speaker 2: They no longer want to be outside the government. They 287 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 2: have co opted governments themselves, which gives them the power 288 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 2: and the seeming legitimacy and in this case, immunity from prosecution. 289 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: Of being the real deal. 290 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 2: These are criminal enterprises able to wear the uniform of 291 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 2: the state. That five I think it's twenty five page 292 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 2: indictment lays this in a number of other things out. 293 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: But if in fact that is true, that would mean 294 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 2: that you have the government operating as a criminal enterprise, 295 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 2: not a legitimate regime. As I mentioned, over fifty countries 296 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: have not recognized Maduro as the rightful, legitimate leader of 297 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 2: Venezuela going back to twenty thirteen, which means that it's 298 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 2: not really regime change at all. It's no different than 299 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 2: toppling the leader of the mafia, and that's going to 300 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 2: be the case that's going to be made. Enter the 301 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: involvement of the Cubans who have been providing Maduro with 302 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: his security in exchange for the Venezuelan Pact, where the 303 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 2: Venezuelans provide Cuba much needed oil and the Venezuelans needed 304 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 2: the muscle of Cuba. So Cuba has become the modern 305 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: day Swiss mercenaries of Marxism. They provide the muscle for 306 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 2: several countries, Venezuela the most important of which, and Gola 307 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 2: being one before that, to give legitimacy or security for 308 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 2: rogue nations who could not provide it for themselves. 309 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: You also have the presence of China. 310 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 2: This is going to turn out to be very important 311 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 2: in the meeting with Maduro within hours of the raid 312 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 2: on Mita Flores. The I'm a kind of over sentuate 313 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: some of the Spanish words, I don't mind ramon. You 314 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: had the Chinese envoy there. Interesting that this was not 315 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: a surprise raid in the purest sense. I think we 316 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 2: had something like fifteen thousand troops stationed there. The number 317 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 2: of military assets, the warships, it was rather obvious that 318 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 2: this was coming. 319 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: It was just a question of when two am it 320 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: happened to be. But this was not a huge surprise 321 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: to the region. 322 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: You can't hide that many warships and that many service 323 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: members of the tactical elements of this attack. It's quite 324 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 2: interesting that the helicopters that they were using, and some 325 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,959 Speaker 2: of the folks with military experience know a lot more 326 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 2: about this. We're flying one hundred feet above the ground 327 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 2: at a high rate of speed, undetectable to most of 328 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 2: the defense systems air defense systems of Venezuela. When those 329 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 2: men landed, which interestingly it is by all accounts. 330 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: All men, So I guess we don't have a DEI 331 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: in Delta force. When you need to land. 332 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: Some guys who are going to go in and do 333 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 2: the dirty work, and they have to be precise. I 334 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 2: have read and seen story after story all weekend above 335 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 2: the about these guys. I went by the name of 336 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 2: three per six, who led the operation that actually extricated 337 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 2: Maduro from his compound. You're talking about some of the 338 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 2: best of the best. I know every special ops units 339 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 2: will argue supremacy over the others, and I don't know, 340 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 2: I know they're all badasses. I'm grateful for them. I'm 341 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 2: grateful for every family that found out about this after 342 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 2: it was over, and when they found out were scared 343 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 2: to death that their baby boy was killed, because that's 344 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 2: still somebody's baby boy that's going in to taking. 345 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: On these actions. 346 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: You have the Chinese presence in Venezuela and the Chinese 347 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 2: reliance on Venezuela for their oil. 348 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: What did I see? Five percent? Is that right? Yeah? 349 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 2: About five percent of China's total annual oil imports account 350 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 2: are sent from Venezuela. China is the largest buyer of 351 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 2: Venezuelan oil. That's not going to be easy to replace, 352 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 2: and I don't know that Cuba will be able to 353 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 2: because Cuba was basically engaged in a barn where rather 354 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,959 Speaker 2: than paying for the oil, they were sending their mercenaries 355 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: to prop up Maduro. 356 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: And it's what we do on the Michael Berrieshow isn't 357 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: it interesting. 358 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: That the Axis of Evil, how these people just keep 359 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: finding each other and making alliances. 360 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: You've got Venezuela now as the pivot point. 361 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 2: You've got heavy Chinese involvement up to the very moment 362 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 2: that Maduro was extracted. 363 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: You have Iran in their great involvement, and of course 364 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: you have Russia. 365 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 2: We'll talk about Trende Ragua in a moment considered been 366 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 2: in the news as much of late, but consider one 367 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 2: of the baddest of the criminal operations working in the 368 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 2: United States. President Trump made reference to them and to 369 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 2: two Houston cases, Joscelyn Nungeri being one of them, and 370 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: the deaths of American citizens on American soil at the 371 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 2: direction of this criminal enterprise. And yes, it does appear 372 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 2: that Trenda aragw had a relationship with Maduro. That's part 373 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 2: of the indictment that will be part of the case. 374 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 2: That tactical mission in Venezuela is nothing short and amazing. 375 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 2: I heard one national security expert compare it to Israel 376 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 2: and the pager bombs that blew off the juebos of 377 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: the various Hesbal officials in Iran and Lebanon. It's incredible. 378 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 2: They were moving this man on a daily basis. He 379 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 2: was using burner phones, which of course they would discard 380 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: his location was changing constantly, and yet our boys went 381 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: in their Delta force and went directly to him. Now 382 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 2: that speaks to the fact that the CIA had incredible intelligence. 383 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 2: That's not all video intelligence, that's not all listening devices. 384 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 2: That is an infiltration of individuals who were providing information. 385 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: It's clear that Maduro did not have his administration locked down. 386 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: The fact that no US forces were killed, the fact 387 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 2: that the nation's power grid could be incapacitated so that 388 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 2: when our boys landed the country was in darkness. There 389 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 2: was no internal ability on the primary communications systems to 390 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 2: sound the alert. The surgical strikes throughout the country as distractions, 391 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 2: disabling the Venezuelan surfaced air capability for all intents and purposes, 392 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 2: not completely disabling the Venezuelan air response to engage and 393 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 2: kill thirty two Cubans the Cuban government number not mine. 394 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: Without the loss of a single American life, It's rather impressive. 395 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 2: And while he does not deserve all of the credit. 396 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 2: Think about Pete Hegseth. We were told how terrible Pete 397 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 2: Hegseth was going to be. We were told that he 398 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 2: had personal problems, and we were told that he was 399 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 2: not fit for the job. 400 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: And yet. 401 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 2: Look at the job he has done. Look at the 402 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 2: job Pete Hegseth has done. The operations that have been 403 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: conducted on his watch. It really is amazing when you 404 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 2: think about the legacy he already has as Secretary of Defense. 405 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 2: Successful operation in the Panama Canal increased the ranks of 406 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 2: our military. It's constantly reported that our military is able 407 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 2: to recruit on a level they have never seen before 408 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 2: in the modern era. Shut down Iran's nuclear prowess, at 409 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 2: least for some period of time, smacked Muslim extremists in Nigeria, 410 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 2: that happening, of course over the break, causing them to 411 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 2: return hostages. And then just happened to take out Venezuela's 412 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 2: military bases and capture their leader without killing him, which 413 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: was important, and not one, not one of our men 414 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 2: died in the process of any of those operations. Remember 415 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 2: when Milly said that he would call China and tell 416 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 2: them he would warn them if President Trump was going 417 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 2: to attack, And now we've got Kin who another. You know, 418 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 2: if you remember when Schwartzkough emerged, it's a bad mammagemma 419 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 2: during a desert storm, and then desert shield and then 420 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 2: desert storm, and he seems to have been a man 421 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 2: who has met his moment. 422 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: Trump likes these kind of guys. He's charismatic, he's feisty. 423 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: If you haven't seen his press conference, don't let that 424 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: be buried in the rubble of the transition from your 425 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 2: vacation to back to work. It is worth watching the 426 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 2: press conference. President Trump normally takes center stage at those, 427 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 2: but he stood back, and he seemed to be consciously 428 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 2: holding back to have Raisin Cain leading that press conference. 429 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: I thought that was quite interesting. I was not a 430 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio fan as a senator when he joined with 431 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 2: the gang over the illegal immigration and the program, I 432 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 2: thought that exposed him for who and what he was. 433 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 2: When Donald Trump called him little Marco and effectively ended 434 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 2: his presidential campaign, I thought Marco Rubio was done. 435 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: But I must say, and this. 436 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 2: Is one of those Doris Kerns Goodwin's Team of Rivals 437 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 2: references to Abraham Lincoln bringing his vanquished foes from the 438 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 2: presidential election of eighteen sixty into the administration. That was 439 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 2: an inspired choice Marco Rubio. I think the president understood 440 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 2: how important the Monroe Doctrine and Latin America was going 441 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 2: to be to his administration. I think he understood that 442 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 2: this guy had the cell phone numbers in a close 443 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 2: cloak room relationship with fellow senators, I think he saw 444 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 2: that this was a guy who was on the outs 445 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: and wanted back in. But Marco Rubio has been as 446 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 2: he should be, and, as he noted over the weekend, 447 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 2: a very loyal secretary of state to Donald Trump. I'll 448 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 2: remind you of techs of Rex Tillerson, the former head 449 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 2: of Exon, who betrayed Donald Trump as his secretary of State. 450 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 2: I think he thought he was his own president, kind 451 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 2: of with the Alexander Haig I'm in charge now mentality. 452 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 2: I just wanted to take a moment to recognize that 453 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 2: I think Marco Rubio is doing a fantastic job of 454 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 2: secretary of State. I don't know why that means that 455 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 2: people very excited about another presidential election in a couple 456 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 2: of years need to now talk about whether he's a 457 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 2: better presidential candidate than JD. 458 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: Vance. I don't know why that needs to be the case. 459 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 2: Those sorts of things are very disruptive to the internal 460 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: operation of the Trump administration and they need to stop. 461 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 2: But it's the same mindset of people who, when their 462 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 2: team wins the World Series or the Super Bowl, before 463 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 2: the trophy is hoisted, to start talking about what our 464 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 2: team's going to look like next year. 465 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: Let's operate now. 466 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 2: Let's make this the best presidential administration of our lifetimes, 467 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 2: if not our country. As we enter the two hundred 468 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of this great nation, 469 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 2: I just want to say that while I have not 470 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 2: always been a fan, and far from it, I think 471 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio is doing a great job as the Secretary 472 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 2: of State, and I think that Pete Hegseth has proven 473 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 2: his detractors wrong, certainly very popular within the military, and 474 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 2: the results certainly speak for themselves. 475 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: And I don't think I need to add to that 476 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: the credit President Trump deserves
