1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Stay right here for our final news round up and 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: information overload and news round Up, Information overload, our eight 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: hundred nine pot one sean if you want to be 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: a part of the program. Now, we've been counting down 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: all the days since Joe Biden abandoned our fellow Americans 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: behind enemy lines. That was only about a month or 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: two ago that, in fact, his own Secretary State Wincol Blincoln, 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: admitted that, yeah, we still have hundreds of Americans behind 9 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: enemy lines that want to get out. It's the opposite 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: of what Joe Biden was telling us at the time. 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: Then we have thousands of people that have green cards 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: eligible to live in the US. They can't get out either. 13 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: And add to that, of course, our Afghan allies many 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: that have already been killed because they were lists left 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: behind sadly, many that have never been seen or heard 16 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: from again, So you can pretty much assume what happened 17 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: to them. Never mind the tens of billions of dollars 18 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: and the most sophisticated military weaponry on the face of 19 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: this earth. But in the run up to this, you know, 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was telling us that the Taliban takeover of 21 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: Afghanistan is not inevitable, and then saying that we're going 22 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: to get all Americans out of Afghanistan. That's what he promised. 23 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: There's gonna be no circumstances. You see people being lifted 24 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: off the roof of a embassy of the United States 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: from Afghanistan. Are you committed to making sure that the 26 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: troops stay until every American who wants to be out 27 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: out Yes, So Americans should understand that troops might have 28 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: to be there beyond August thirty. First, no, Americans should 29 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: understand that we're going to try to get it done 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: before August. But if we don't. If we don't, will 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: determine at the time who's left and and if you're 32 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: American forces, there's American citizens left, we're gonna state that 33 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: we get them all out. Congressman Mike Waltz is with us, 34 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: by the way, Florida's sixth district. Former Army green Beret 35 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: serving in Congress. He also wrote a children's booked On 36 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: of the Brave, talks about the one year anniversary of 37 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: leaving Afghanistan. The loss of thirteen lives. Nobody ever mentions it. 38 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: We mentioned it every day either on radio or TV 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: or both, and everybody has just turned the page. Nobody 40 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: seems to care. We have our fellow Americans held hostage there, 41 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: and nobody seems to care at all. Why well, Sean, 42 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: I'll get into that in a second. I'll tell you 43 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: who does care. Are the veterans groups like Dynamo, Task Force, Pineapple, 44 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: Afghan Evac, so many others that stood up grassroots efforts. 45 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: Many of them exhausted their personal savings if any of 46 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: them left their jobs to do what we all swore 47 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: to do, which was never leave a comrade behind, never 48 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: leave a fellow American or an ally on the battlefield. 49 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: They're still at it, Sean. They haven't let go. They're 50 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: not going to let go. But I have never talked 51 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: to a group so disgusted with their own government, as 52 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: the State Apartment fiddle farts around and as DoD In 53 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: the generals just basically hold up their hands and do nothing. 54 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: So you're absolutely right, and you're leading. I had a 55 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: meeting with Anthony Blincoln. He admitted that, yeah, he in 56 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: the President said around a hundred. I call that a 57 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 1: bold face lie. They've now are saying, no, it's more 58 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: like eight times that around eight hundred Americans that they've 59 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: since pulled out, and they're still Americans behind enemy lines. 60 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: Many of them can't leave because some of their family 61 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: members can't leave, and they don't want to leave them. 62 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: In the in the Taliban's tands, you don't get to them, 63 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: classify them is not wanting to leave, as you heard 64 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: Blincoln in the in the President do and Sean, if 65 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: I could just speak to one other piece, you know 66 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: you're here in the left this week, keep pointing the 67 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: finger at Trump as they love to do. Oh, Trump 68 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: cut this deal. Trump cut the Doha agreements that led 69 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: to all of this. Look, there are many of us 70 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: who never thought that Taliban would live up to their 71 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: end of the bargain. They didn't. They never entered in 72 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: a ceasefire, they never entered into real negotiations. We now 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: see that they never backed away from from al Qaeda. 74 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: But when President Trump was presented with those facts, guess 75 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: what he left the troops to keep supporting the Afghan troops. 76 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: And the other thing is, you know Biden had no problem, zero, 77 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,679 Speaker 1: none at all with tearing up the Keystone pipeline, tearing 78 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: up the maximum pressure campaign with Iran, or backing away 79 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: from all of these other Trump policies. But yet suddenly 80 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: he was stuck with this one and that's just a 81 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: bunch of garbage, and I'm sick of hearing about it. Well, 82 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think there's anything left to do, 83 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: So I do know the backstory. As President Trump talked 84 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: about getting out of these you know, never ending conflicts 85 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: with Afghanistan, there are a couple of things that he 86 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: said to me in interviews and others have confirmed for me. 87 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: Is number one, Bagram Air Base would have been ours. 88 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: He would have held onto it, and that would have 89 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: been so from a geopolitical standpoint, especially with the hostilities 90 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: of China, it would have been critical for us to 91 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: keep control of that, considering we bought it, and we 92 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: paid for it, we built it, putting and putting all 93 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: of that aside. But in the early conversations with the 94 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: leader of the Taliban, Trump relate a story to me 95 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: that in fact, he's before they would ever talk about 96 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: any deal or any pullout of any kind. And there 97 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: were eighteen months where not a single American the last 98 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: eighteen months Donald Trump was president, there wasn't a single 99 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: American killed. And he said to the head of the Taliban, 100 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: before we talk about anything. You don't you got you 101 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: need to understand something that if you don't follow every 102 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: dotted I cross tea, every comma, every period, I will 103 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: obliterate you. And he said it, according to other sources 104 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: repeatedly throughout the whole process. Now, interestingly, that kept the 105 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: Taliban in check. They believed Donald Trump when he said it. 106 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: They had every reason to believe it because he had 107 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: beaten the Caliphate and Solomani and Baghdaddy and associates and 108 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: the al Qaida leader in Yemen. Now we know, I'm 109 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: happy that we got Iowa and al Zawari, but you 110 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: know what we think got him in Afghanistan because Afghanistan 111 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: is once again as a safe haven for terrorists. So 112 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: the point is they didn't dare move an inch. And 113 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: then at one point the conversation, Donald Trump gave him 114 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: the exact address where he was at the time of 115 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: the phone call to let him know I'll take your 116 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: ass out. Did you hear that story? Yeah? Oh, actually 117 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: told it to me as well, right, he said, I 118 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: told him I know where you lived. And it looked 119 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: the Taliban understand I sat across from these bastards and 120 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: multiple tours. They understand strength and they are emboldened by weakness. 121 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: But I want to go to your point on Bagra, 122 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: I wrote an op ed. You know, as soon as 123 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: Biden made this announcement, I rode out at Fox dot com. 124 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: Do not give up Bagram, not just because it would 125 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: serve as a counter terrorism platform, but also because it 126 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: had a prison there full of the worst of the 127 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: worst of ISIS and Alkais, not just Taliban, ISIS, al Qaida, 128 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: international terrorists. And guess what we gave it up and 129 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: two weeks later a release a prisoner that the Taliban 130 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: release was the ISIS suicide bomber that killed our thirteen 131 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: brave Marines, soldiers and sailors. There needs to be accountability 132 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: for that decision. And then the final piece on Bagram, 133 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, geostrategically, it's the only base in the 134 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: world sandwich between Iran, Russia and China Sean. It's so 135 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: close to the Chinese border that you can you know, 136 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: it's closer to the Chinese border than Mexico City is 137 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: to the Texas border. Do you think if the Chinese 138 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: had a twelve thousand foot strategic runway in Mexico that 139 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: they had bought and paid port. They would just give 140 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: it up for nothing. Of course they wouldn't, but we did. 141 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: And the final thing. We talk a lot about strategic 142 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: rare earth minerals, the things that we need for computer 143 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: chips to make our economy go. Afghanistan was sitting on 144 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: over a trillion dollars, verified by the US Geological Survey 145 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: and guests who's sitting at Babra now a Chinese geological 146 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: survey team set to exploit all of that. So this 147 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: was just the biggest strategic blunder in modern history. And 148 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: yet you've got the Commander in Chief, Joe Biden, standing 149 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: for the world saying this was a quote extraordinary success. 150 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: It's a slap in the face to everyone left behind, 151 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: and it's a slap in the face to every veteran 152 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: who sacrificed so much that knows better, you know. I mean, 153 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: I think that that gets to the heart of it all. 154 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: I mean, what a sad state of affairs that this 155 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: is now America. Do you remember when the Iranians were 156 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: holding Americans four hundred and forty four days. This is 157 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm Ted Kavo, this is Nightline, the four hundred and 158 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,119 Speaker 1: voting four you know, but Americans cared when when Americans 159 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: would taken hostage. Nobody has ever held Joe accountable for 160 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: this mess, this disaster. And the difference between his plan 161 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: and Trump's plan was Trump was saying to them, if 162 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: you dare move before we pull out completely, then you're 163 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: going to be obliterated. And he would have obliterated him. 164 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: Was that was his mo And in this case, you know, 165 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: look what happened. Well and get this Sean, And I 166 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: don't think this gets enough attention. There is an American 167 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: Navy veteran by the name of Mark Freck that the 168 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: Taliban had been holding for years. And you would have 169 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: thought with the Biden unleasing billions of foreign currency reserves 170 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: to the Taliban, hundreds of million and humanitarian aide, you 171 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: would have thought we could get one American hostage back 172 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: that they they have been sitting on and refused to 173 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: give him these I can't negotiate the way out of 174 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: a paperbag. But that's what happens when it's just concession 175 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: after concession after a concession in an appeasement policy. And 176 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: why you're seeing so many of our adversaries on the 177 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: march around the world, and why does it matter so 178 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: much that we honor our promises to those SIV interpreters 179 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: and those who fought with us, because we've got Green 180 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: Berets and seals all over the world now working from 181 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: Africa to the Middle East, you name it, trying to 182 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: work with local forces, whether they're going after terrorists or 183 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: figuring out what the Chinese are up to, saying work 184 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: with us. And they're all pointing back to Afghanistan and saying, 185 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: you know what, you abandoned your allies after twenty years, 186 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: You're going to abandon us too. So it's not just 187 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party propaganda machine to Taiwan and the 188 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: Russian propaganda machine did to Ukraine. It's down on the 189 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: ground and our current special operations forces are feeling the 190 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: aftermath of this abandonment and this withdrawal. Why is there 191 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: no coverage of this whatsoever except for maybe my show, 192 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: and I would assume maybe other talk shows that I 193 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: don't get a chance to listen to because we have 194 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: a complicit media and the administration wanted this page to 195 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: be turned. Republicans have tried to hold hearings in the House, 196 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: of course Pelosi squashes them. They've had one in the 197 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: Foreign Affairs committee, but they did it secret down end 198 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: shifts skiff so that the media couldn't cover it. And 199 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: the end of the day, look politically, this was when 200 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: a thing started to turn for the worst for fights 201 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: because he ran on two things, compassion and competency, And 202 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: this was the most cold hearted thing I've ever seen, 203 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: and it certainly was the most incompetent thing I've ever seen. 204 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: And we saw his poll numbers go south accordingly, And 205 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: the last thing a compliant media wants to do is 206 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: to resurrect that. So I think you might get a 207 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: little bit of coverage over the over, you know, this 208 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: one year of debacle, but then they're they're gonna want 209 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: to turn the page and talk about, you know, the 210 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: big climate change victory that they had last week. All right, 211 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: quick break more with Congressman Mike Waltz on this the 212 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: one year anniversary where Joe abandoned Americans behind nime lines 213 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. Look prices on everything through the roof.

Congressman 226 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: Mike Waltz of the Florida sixth District is with us, 227 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: how do you get away with raising taxes on oil, 228 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: gas and coal? Will We're paying the highest gas prices 229 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: we've ever paid, and we're also have a forty one 230 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: year high of inflation. And then how do you with 231 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: the straight face tell Americans we're not raising taxes on 232 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: anybody that makes less than four hundred thousand dollars a year. Well, 233 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: and then you know you layer onto that there's by 234 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: most estimates, about a thousand billionaires and you need eighty 235 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: seven thousand i RF agents to go after im Hell no, 236 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: they're going after mom and pop businesses all over America. 237 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: But that thing that you know that I find the 238 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: most outrageous is the three hundred fifty billion dollars giveaway 239 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: to the Chinese economy that produces ninety percent of the 240 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: world solar panels, seventy percent of the world's wind turbines, 241 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: and control ninety percent of the lithium that goes into 242 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: the batteries. Those moneys are going to flow right over 243 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: to Chinese manufacturing, which they produced, by the way, with coal. 244 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: So I mean, the irony is just rich and ridiculous 245 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: all around. But that's what happens when when we have 246 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: the left running Washington and brother I am just counting 247 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: the days so we can fire Nancy Pelosi and get 248 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: control of the converspect.

Mar Lago 304 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: rated by the same FBI that light about Donald Trump 305 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: and Russia collusion for three years, The same FBI that 306 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: used Hillary Clinton his opponent's dirty paid for Russian dossier 307 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: to get Faizo warrants, saying that the dossier was quote 308 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: verified by them. It turns out it was unverifiable because 309 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: none of it was true. And I was supposed to 310 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: believe the FBI what they say in a warrant. I 311 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: don't believe them. Well, here's what I was saying on 312 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: my podcast, Sean. I have no idea what's inside Donald's 313 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: compound in Marilago, but I will say this, I see 314 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: the same people I saw a year and a half 315 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,959 Speaker 1: ago telling us that Hunter bied Blacktop had all the 316 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: earmarks of a Russian hoax and was driven by Putin. 317 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: Those exact same people are now back on CNN explaining 318 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 1: that this was a legitimate raid and that we had 319 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: every right to do it and there must be something important. 320 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: So pardon me if I don't have one eyebrow raised 321 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: just a little bit. I feel like between the FBI 322 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: and the CDC and Fauchi, I no longer listen to 323 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: anything that these people say. I assume it's a lie, 324 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: but I just want to verify, invent everything. And I 325 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: never would have done that two or three years ago. 326 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: If you said the FBI says, Fauci says, the CDC says, 327 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: I would have wont Oh, Well, that must be exactly 328 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: what's happening now, I don't know, and that's I'll tell you. 329 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: I'll take it a step further. I mean, we gave 330 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: Fauci the benefit of the doubt in the beginning of this, 331 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: and we even gave you know, margin of error, because 332 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: nobody in the beginning really knew anything about what COVID 333 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: nineteen was about, so it would be normal that people 334 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: that are smart, they're making the best educated guests, trying 335 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: to give their best advice. But over a period of time, 336 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: they were wrong on everything, and they weren't even occasionally right. 337 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: So if you ask me if I'd ever trust the CDC, 338 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: the NIH, Fauci, Waalinski or Biden or any politician ever 339 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: talking to me about my health in the future, the 340 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: answer is hell, no, I'm never listening to them ever. Yeah. Well, 341 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: the problem with Fauci is remember when he was getting 342 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: grilled by Rampaul I think it was Rampaul, and he 343 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: was asking about Black Lives Matter rallies and parades and 344 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: he said he didn't have any opinion on that. He 345 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: was compromised at that point during that hearing that was 346 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: almost two years ago, where he said, you know, gatherings 347 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: at churches, gatherings at football stadiums all bad, So what 348 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: about gatherings for BLM rally? He said, I have no opinion. 349 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: At that point I realized he was compromised, so we 350 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: didn't have to listen to him. And what about all 351 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: this stuff he said, like he didn't know about natural immunity, 352 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: We didn't you don't know about nactual community what are 353 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: we listening to you for? He got stuff wrong and 354 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: he lied. The FBI is just lying at this point. 355 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,239 Speaker 1: I don't know how many different ways they can go 356 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: after Trump, and I have no idea why they think 357 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: we're going to go along with it, why we should 358 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: believe them. It is the group that cried woll. It's 359 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: worse than that. Look, you don't dig into the weeds 360 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,239 Speaker 1: of politics as much as I do. You certainly are 361 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: a better expert on cultural issues than I am. But 362 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: the two worlds do connect in a lot of ways. 363 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: And all I know is, for three years, we were 364 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: told by the FBI top their top echelon their top officials. 365 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: Now I gotta step back and tell you that I 366 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: had a reverence growing up my entire adult life on 367 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: radio and TV for law enforcement. My whole family comes 368 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: from law enforcement. My mom was a prison guard. I 369 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: had so many relatives that were cops on the NYPD. 370 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: There were two members of my family that made it 371 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: to the FBI. They were they were deity in my family. 372 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: They were they were like, you know, here's God, and 373 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: there they are. And so I had this reverence, and 374 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: I still believe ninety five are good people. That put 375 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: their lives at risk for us. But when we discovered 376 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: that they had an insurance policy to ensure that Donald 377 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: Trump would never win, you lost your credibility and you 378 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: lost your trust, especially with all things Donald Trump. And 379 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: here's the worst part, Adam, Now one of those people 380 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: that signed those false warrants ever got held accountable. If 381 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: you lie to a judge, I promise you, Adam Carolla, 382 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: you will go to jail. I will go to jail. 383 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: Everyone listening to this program would go to jail. Well, look, 384 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: I like to play a little game called stupid or lion. 385 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: Whether you're talking about FBI or you're talking about Fauci. 386 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: Is Fauci stupid or is he lying? It doesn't matter. 387 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: Either way, he needs to be removed. And I feel 388 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: the same way with the FBI. You are the same 389 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: people that said the Steel dossier was real and Hunter 390 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: Biden's laptop was fake. So either you're lying or you're 391 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: horrible at your job, But either way you need to go. Well, 392 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: you raise a good point, Hunter Biden is I don't 393 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: know if you've ever heard of Kiwa Island. It's in 394 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: South Carolina. They're they're apparently living in a friend's twenty 395 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: million dollar mansion this week. We know from all the 396 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: reporting that has come out that there's evidence of multiple 397 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: crimes on that laptop. Now, I ask you, Adam Crolla, 398 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: if we had equal justice under the law, an equal 399 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: application under the law in this country, would we not 400 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: go and raid Hunter Biden's home. Why they've had it 401 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: for two years this laptop. Christopher Ray last week acted 402 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: like you knew nothing about it. They've had it for 403 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: two years. So if we had equal justice, wouldn't they 404 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: treat him the same way they treated Donald Trump? And 405 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: by the way, that laptop implicates his father, the big guy, 406 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, on all of these deals. Look, first things first, 407 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: it's diabolical because what they do is they slow boat 408 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: these investigations, and then when they get thrown up for questioning, 409 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: they go, I can't comment on an ongoing investigation. Well 410 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: what if the investigation never ends, you can't comment on it. 411 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: You know, really think about how diabolical that is. We 412 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: will say this house is under construction and we can't 413 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,719 Speaker 1: comment on it, and we'll never finish the job. And 414 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: that's basically what they're doing with Hunter Biden. It's it's insane. 415 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: It's also it's not their fault, though I mean it 416 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: is their fault, but this is partisan politics and they're 417 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: defending their own. Where's the media on Hunter Biden? Where 418 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: where is big Tech? I mean, I know what they're doing. 419 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: They're canceling people and taking stories down and calling it 420 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: a hoax. But the people who aren't doing their job 421 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: as it pertains to the Hunter Biden's story is the media. 422 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: They it has all the ear marks. I get it, 423 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: But listen, what do they hate most? Like, what's the 424 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: mainstream media hate most? What's CNN and MSNBC. They hate nepotism, 425 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: they hate rich white guys, they hate old rich white guys. 426 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: They hate China, they hate Russia. It's all that roots 427 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: salad build with CNN's favorite subject. On the other side, 428 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's just phenomenal to me as you watch 429 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: all this unfold, you know that there are not more 430 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: people on the left that see the danger in this. 431 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: You know, I know, you like Bill Maher and I 432 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: kind of hate each other. He hates me and I'm 433 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: not a big fan of his. Although it's people like 434 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: me when he was doing politically incorrect and other conservatives 435 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: that said that show should not get canceled. It was 436 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: conservatives that are in favor of free speech. I don't 437 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: want any show canceled. I don't want any comedian canceled. 438 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons, and he's made this 439 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: observation himself, is that conservatives are are quoting him occasionally 440 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: now is because the left wing in this country has 441 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: gone so far overboard. You know, the earth is going 442 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: to be over in twelve years. We're not going to 443 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: produce any energy domestically, but it's okay to beg Iran 444 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: and Russia and Venezuela and the Saudeast and OPAC, which 445 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: makes zero sense to anybody that has half a brain. 446 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: And then they tell you to get an electric car, 447 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: which is twenty grand more than a gas car, a 448 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: gas powered car, and most Americans can't afford it, especially 449 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: with the record forty one year high record of inflation 450 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: and record high gas prices. Well, look, something happened to 451 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: the left. But as I always tell people, it's called 452 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: the progressive movement. It's got progress in movement right in 453 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: the title. And people like you and I go, when 454 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: are you ever going to pump the brakes? I mean, look, 455 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: some of the stuff they used to talk about eight 456 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: or ten years ago. I went, yeah, that sounds all right, 457 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: it makes sense, Sorr. I'm on, I'm with you on 458 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: that one. But they just blew right past it and 459 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: they just keep going. And you wonder, like what is 460 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: the end game. And I don't know that there is 461 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: an endgame. But it's called the progressive movement. They never 462 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: pump the brakes. It's not what they're there to do. They, 463 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 1: you know, the conservatives want to be left alone, enjoy 464 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: our family and enjoy our country, you know, pay our taxes, 465 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: and don't rob any liquor stores, and we're fine. We're 466 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: essentially wanting to be like a loan. That's pretty much 467 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: just don't touch my liquor store, no matter what you do. 468 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: If you got a robber store, rob Target, Robert, Walmart, 469 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,479 Speaker 1: don't rob the liquor store. Go to the scented candle 470 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: shop on the corner, never going. I'm sure you're there often. 471 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: How do you describe yourself politically? I've never asked you. 472 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: I don't even know. I come from liberal, very strong 473 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 1: liberal family, and so I got a front row seat. 474 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: My mom was, you know, welfare and foodstance. My grandmother 475 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: was almost sort of a communist for a while, and 476 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 1: I got a front row seat to that, you know, 477 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: in the seventies, and I kind of realized that's not 478 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: where I want to to go. Um. I've always been 479 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: a fan of sort of free market capitalism. I've also 480 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: been kind of liberal. Uh so to speak on consensual crimes, 481 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: you know, prostitution, drug use, things like that. You know, 482 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: you wanted to if you wanted to pay a lady 483 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: and bring it back to the apartment, that was your business. 484 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: That wasn't my business. You know. I'd like a I'd 485 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: like a stout border. I hate big regulation. I used 486 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: to be a builder and I built in Los Angeles, California, 487 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: so I know that the regulatory system can be and 488 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: how stifling it can be. We have a common background. 489 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: I worked in the construction a long time. Yeah, so 490 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: I got a front row seat to the big you know, 491 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: Department of Building in Safety. So I'm basically conservative economically, pistically, 492 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: sort of socially you know, gay marriage. You want to 493 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,239 Speaker 1: smoke pot as long as you got hurting anybody, you know, 494 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: that's fine. I just I don't like big government. I 495 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: want to shrink government down and that's about where I'm 496 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: at now. That then makes me, you know, a hard 497 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: right guy now in the eyes of society. But I've 498 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: never been there. I've never changed any of my views. 499 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: It's just the left once so hard left that they 500 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: lost a lot of people who used to be on 501 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: their side of the aisle. I think it's true. Do 502 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: you go further in terms of libertarianism and support legalizing 503 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: all drugs? I think that would be insane. You know, look, 504 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: I live in Los Angeles. I've seen what happens when 505 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,719 Speaker 1: we just tell people do whatever you want, we're not 506 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: getting involved. It is homeless, incampent, encampment everywhere. It's literally 507 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: tense in this green plastic and plywood, makeshift plywood shelters 508 00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: like strewn about everywhere. I understand what happens, and we've 509 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: seen it in San Francisco. You've seen it in New 510 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,719 Speaker 1: York to some degree, like the government can no longer 511 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: just step back and say, you know, you're free to 512 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: do whatever you want without it turning into what Los 513 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: Angeles has turned into. Now, if you would have asked 514 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: me twenty years ago, I probably would have warned, Yeah, 515 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,479 Speaker 1: I don't see what's wrong with that. But I got 516 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: a front row seat to it here in Los Angeles. 517 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: Quick Break more with Adam Carolla on the other side 518 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: of his website Adam Carolla dot com.

UM. 524 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: That would that would literally, you know, rob their beat 525 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: the crap out of their own grandmother for more money 526 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: to get their their drugs.

What 532 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: if that was your son, what if that was your daughter? Like, 533 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: don't we don't we owe it to that person, try 534 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: to get them some help or we just gonna go 535 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: just let them do your own thing.

That's 542 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: I mean, if we're gonna do anything, that would be 543 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: the most responsible thing.
