You know? Our our friends on 27 00:01:00,369 --> 00:01:02,210 the left and then the Democratic Party always 28 00:01:02,210 --> 00:01:03,989 say that government is the solution, 29 00:01:05,409 --> 00:01:07,829 when all too often it proves that's anything 30 00:01:07,890 --> 00:01:08,390 but. 31 00:01:08,769 --> 00:01:11,954 Yeah. Yeah. It's it it it we need 32 00:01:11,954 --> 00:01:14,295 small government. We need to follow, 33 00:01:14,834 --> 00:01:16,615 what Ronald Reagan said. 34 00:01:16,995 --> 00:01:18,995 You know what? When you have to start 35 00:01:18,995 --> 00:01:21,234 worrying when someone knocks on your door to 36 00:01:21,234 --> 00:01:23,795 say, hi. I'm from the government, and I'm 37 00:01:23,795 --> 00:01:24,615 here to help. 38 00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:26,270 No. 39 00:01:26,650 --> 00:01:28,189 Absolutely. I mean, use the 40 00:01:29,370 --> 00:01:31,710 the minimal, quote, unquote, government shutdown 41 00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:32,670 that's 42 00:01:33,049 --> 00:01:35,850 having some movement today, obviously, because congress is 43 00:01:35,850 --> 00:01:38,670 gonna go on their two week, vacation for 44 00:01:38,974 --> 00:01:40,354 for Easter holiday 45 00:01:40,734 --> 00:01:42,575 coming up. But you see some movement on 46 00:01:42,575 --> 00:01:44,894 this. But, again, you have an extended period 47 00:01:44,894 --> 00:01:47,295 of time where government employees and and more 48 00:01:47,295 --> 00:01:50,655 particular under DHS and and TSA agents that 49 00:01:50,655 --> 00:01:51,715 are not getting paid. 50 00:01:52,254 --> 00:01:54,560 And understandably, a lot of them are not 51 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,640 going to work because, again, we don't work 52 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,960 for free. There are individuals that do that, 53 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,200 and they've seen this before, but this is 54 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,840 becoming a recurring theme for government employees where 55 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,840 they miss multiple paychecks. And the fact that 56 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,659 most Americans, 57 00:02:07,195 --> 00:02:08,094 sadly and unfortunately, 58 00:02:08,794 --> 00:02:10,094 live paycheck to paycheck, 59 00:02:10,555 --> 00:02:12,715 this could be catastrophic when paying the mortgage, 60 00:02:12,715 --> 00:02:14,955 when paying utility bills, when paying grocery and 61 00:02:14,955 --> 00:02:16,175 gas bills, your fundamentals, 62 00:02:16,555 --> 00:02:17,835 notwithstanding the other, 63 00:02:18,314 --> 00:02:19,615 cost that you have throughout, 64 00:02:20,235 --> 00:02:21,775 your monthly, you know, 65 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,240 budget cycle, I guess you could say, from 66 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,300 from a home budget. 67 00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:28,000 And, again, take it a step further. Why 68 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,159 do we have TSA? Obviously, this was bin 69 00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:30,659 Laden's, 70 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,400 revenge after nine eleven and has made, air 71 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,319 travel very difficult for the last twenty five 72 00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:37,794 years. So the question is, do we still 73 00:02:37,794 --> 00:02:39,954 need TSA? I would venture and argue that 74 00:02:39,954 --> 00:02:42,134 we do. Does it need to be government 75 00:02:42,194 --> 00:02:44,995 employees? Maybe that's something to reconsider. Maybe that's 76 00:02:44,995 --> 00:02:46,294 something we start to privatize 77 00:02:46,754 --> 00:02:48,134 that is contract based. 78 00:02:48,674 --> 00:02:50,674 And, again, the democrats are doing this because 79 00:02:50,674 --> 00:02:52,375 they have nothing. They have no campaign 80 00:02:52,950 --> 00:02:55,189 or issue to run on ahead of the 81 00:02:55,189 --> 00:02:57,270 midterms. They have no leader still, which is 82 00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:58,730 which is mind boggling, 83 00:02:59,430 --> 00:03:01,510 two years after Trump pretty much trounced the 84 00:03:01,510 --> 00:03:03,030 democrats in 2024. 85 00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:05,030 So they're trying to fixate and do everything 86 00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:07,110 from a political theater standpoint and try to 87 00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:09,544 find something from Max Twinpane to get the 88 00:03:09,544 --> 00:03:10,044 headlines. 89 00:03:10,504 --> 00:03:12,425 And, unfortunately, for them, there's a whole lot 90 00:03:12,425 --> 00:03:13,865 of other headlines that are in the news 91 00:03:13,865 --> 00:03:16,425 that are that are, taking precedent over this. 92 00:03:16,425 --> 00:03:18,664 But even further, this is the same games 93 00:03:18,664 --> 00:03:20,664 that continue to play. You know, you can 94 00:03:20,664 --> 00:03:22,185 call the Schumer shutdown. You can call it 95 00:03:22,185 --> 00:03:24,539 whatever you want, but they didn't get anything. 96 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,599 And, again, they keep saying that they want 97 00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:27,099 changes 98 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,360 with regard to ICE and or or they'll 99 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,719 with withhold funding from ICE and other immigration 100 00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:34,699 activities when, 101 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,680 they're too stupid to realize that part of 102 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,539 the one big beautiful bill was 103 00:03:38,895 --> 00:03:40,034 almost full funding 104 00:03:40,495 --> 00:03:42,914 of these kinds of actees through 2029. 105 00:03:43,215 --> 00:03:44,974 So, again, them trying to say, well, you 106 00:03:44,974 --> 00:03:46,034 guys passed legislation, 107 00:03:46,735 --> 00:03:48,895 and we we wanna undo that. You don't 108 00:03:48,895 --> 00:03:50,334 have the leverage. You don't have the votes. 109 00:03:50,334 --> 00:03:52,014 Again, the first thing you learn in politics 110 00:03:52,014 --> 00:03:53,854 is how to count. They do not have 111 00:03:53,854 --> 00:03:54,360 the votes. 112 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,879 And therefore, they can continue to do the 113 00:03:57,879 --> 00:03:59,879 shutdown because the argument could be said for 114 00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:02,599 Republicans that we don't have the votes to 115 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:03,099 continue, 116 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,240 funding. But, again, it's a negotiation. And if 117 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,775 you wanna have max pain on air travelers, 118 00:04:09,775 --> 00:04:11,155 especially during spring break, 119 00:04:11,534 --> 00:04:13,455 for a lot of people from, you know, 120 00:04:13,455 --> 00:04:15,135 primary education all the way up to to 121 00:04:15,135 --> 00:04:17,375 college that are traveling with their families at 122 00:04:17,375 --> 00:04:20,175 these airports now encouraging people to to show 123 00:04:20,175 --> 00:04:22,274 up four hours before their scheduled time 124 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,660 to get through security, 125 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,360 that's on the democrats. The democrats are making 126 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,939 this painful. The democrats have made this decision. 127 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,480 So, again, these are this again, you can 128 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:31,980 call, 129 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:35,560 questions into republican leadership because, again, there's tactics 130 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,904 to get around this. Again, we know Democrats 131 00:04:37,904 --> 00:04:40,224 are going to do different things with rules 132 00:04:40,224 --> 00:04:41,444 with the senate and filibustering. 133 00:04:42,305 --> 00:04:44,704 At some point when they get power back, 134 00:04:44,704 --> 00:04:47,345 whether that's 28, thirty, thirty two, whatever, it's 135 00:04:47,345 --> 00:04:49,264 not infinite for Republicans. There will be a 136 00:04:49,264 --> 00:04:51,580 time where Democrats have control of both chambers 137 00:04:51,580 --> 00:04:53,259 of congress and the White House again. So, 138 00:04:53,259 --> 00:04:54,779 again, what do you wanna get done for 139 00:04:54,779 --> 00:04:57,660 the American people, and where can you blow 140 00:04:57,660 --> 00:04:58,319 the filibuster 141 00:04:58,939 --> 00:05:01,019 to actually get this stuff done or do 142 00:05:01,019 --> 00:05:01,839 it through reconciliation, 143 00:05:02,540 --> 00:05:04,379 which is another avenue to go. So, 144 00:05:04,939 --> 00:05:06,644 you know, we'll see what happens. But it's 145 00:05:06,724 --> 00:05:09,444 it's maximum pain, and Democrats have even stupidly 146 00:05:09,444 --> 00:05:11,604 said this in media hits that, of course, 147 00:05:11,604 --> 00:05:12,964 they know that this is hurting, and they're 148 00:05:12,964 --> 00:05:15,204 hoping it works. So there's added pressure on 149 00:05:15,204 --> 00:05:17,764 Republicans that the Republicans will bend the knee. 150 00:05:17,764 --> 00:05:18,504 Yeah. Again, 151 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,959 it's political theater, and that's always what it 152 00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:22,800 is. And the American taxpayers and the American 153 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,259 people always get stuck in the middle. 154 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,459 This morning, 155 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,339 was 156 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:28,740 there something that I heard on, 157 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:29,620 radio 158 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,500 that had to do with them passing, 159 00:05:35,134 --> 00:05:35,535 the, 160 00:05:36,335 --> 00:05:38,735 Department of Homeland Security, that they are going 161 00:05:38,735 --> 00:05:41,535 to fund Department of Homeland Security, but they're 162 00:05:41,535 --> 00:05:44,975 not they've already eliminated ICE, not realizing that 163 00:05:44,975 --> 00:05:45,875 ICE is already 164 00:05:46,254 --> 00:05:46,754 funded, 165 00:05:47,215 --> 00:05:48,149 as you said. 166 00:05:49,509 --> 00:05:50,009 But, 167 00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:52,649 I have a feeling that 168 00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:54,410 if they go home, 169 00:05:55,189 --> 00:05:56,009 their constituency 170 00:05:57,509 --> 00:05:58,009 will 171 00:05:58,310 --> 00:05:58,810 throw 172 00:05:59,829 --> 00:06:02,389 not just barbs at them, they will be 173 00:06:02,389 --> 00:06:05,024 throwing literally rocks at them 174 00:06:05,485 --> 00:06:08,605 if they haven't made some adjustment, if this 175 00:06:08,605 --> 00:06:09,425 isn't true, 176 00:06:09,884 --> 00:06:12,125 that they have said, yes, we're going to, 177 00:06:12,685 --> 00:06:15,345 we're going to start funding DHS TSA. 178 00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:18,599 Because really, why 179 00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:21,620 don't they recognize the fact that people are 180 00:06:21,620 --> 00:06:24,279 angry at them for not passing 181 00:06:24,819 --> 00:06:26,599 the funding bill that would 182 00:06:26,899 --> 00:06:27,399 help, 183 00:06:27,860 --> 00:06:28,360 airports, 184 00:06:29,314 --> 00:06:31,955 go through, you know, as they always have 185 00:06:31,955 --> 00:06:32,694 with minimal, 186 00:06:33,395 --> 00:06:35,254 discomfort to the to the passenger? 187 00:06:36,194 --> 00:06:37,574 Yeah. So, again, this 188 00:06:38,274 --> 00:06:40,995 is this is what frustrates everyone listening and 189 00:06:40,995 --> 00:06:43,395 most people when they see how things operate 190 00:06:43,395 --> 00:06:45,550 in politics. Again, you don't make threats that 191 00:06:45,550 --> 00:06:47,550 you're not willing to carry out. And unfortunately, 192 00:06:47,550 --> 00:06:49,310 on both sides of how this happens all 193 00:06:49,310 --> 00:06:51,490 the time, and then they wind up looking, 194 00:06:52,509 --> 00:06:53,330 pretty poor 195 00:06:53,870 --> 00:06:56,189 in terms of, well, you just wasted forty 196 00:06:56,189 --> 00:06:58,644 days or fifty days doing something, and you're 197 00:06:58,644 --> 00:07:00,084 where you were fifty days ago, and you 198 00:07:00,084 --> 00:07:01,845 didn't get anything. And all you do is, 199 00:07:02,324 --> 00:07:04,104 put maximum pain on Americans. 200 00:07:04,564 --> 00:07:06,644 So, you know, what happened this morning and, 201 00:07:06,644 --> 00:07:09,125 again, this is the senate Republicans. This isn't 202 00:07:09,125 --> 00:07:10,850 the house. The Senate Republicans, 203 00:07:11,310 --> 00:07:13,550 accepted the offer from the Democrats for I 204 00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:15,410 I believe it was funding for all DHS 205 00:07:15,870 --> 00:07:18,750 except for ICE, which, you know, obviously, that 206 00:07:18,750 --> 00:07:20,050 incorporates border patrol, 207 00:07:20,509 --> 00:07:22,110 protection, all that kind of stuff. But, again, 208 00:07:22,110 --> 00:07:25,134 not understanding what has already been funded. Again, 209 00:07:25,134 --> 00:07:27,074 it's it's so ridiculous. But 210 00:07:27,535 --> 00:07:29,454 Democrats have jumped up and down saying that 211 00:07:29,454 --> 00:07:31,394 they want reforms, want reforms, want reforms. 212 00:07:32,334 --> 00:07:34,274 And what they're talking about is, 213 00:07:34,589 --> 00:07:35,089 again, 214 00:07:35,550 --> 00:07:38,509 confederate type behavior, something similar to what happened 215 00:07:38,509 --> 00:07:40,430 earlier this week with the democrats here in 216 00:07:40,430 --> 00:07:43,310 in New Jersey, which, again, everyone probably looks 217 00:07:43,310 --> 00:07:44,350 at this as a bad thing. I kinda 218 00:07:44,350 --> 00:07:45,310 look at this as a good thing when 219 00:07:45,310 --> 00:07:47,089 it happened with Mikey Sherrow and the democrats 220 00:07:47,149 --> 00:07:47,889 here locally, 221 00:07:48,495 --> 00:07:50,655 that Murphy probably had the political app to 222 00:07:50,655 --> 00:07:52,574 to know ahead of time as he was 223 00:07:52,574 --> 00:07:53,634 going out the office 224 00:07:53,935 --> 00:07:55,775 and did the pocket veto. But a lot 225 00:07:55,775 --> 00:07:58,335 of these bills that were discussed and passed 226 00:07:58,335 --> 00:08:00,115 and Mikey Sherrill signed, 227 00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:03,360 from a immigration or ICE or border patrol 228 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,939 standpoint is totally unconstitutional violation of the supremacy 229 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,860 clause. So it's gonna be done, 230 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,240 away once it goes through the courts and 231 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,800 someone sues with regard to that. And, again, 232 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,865 that's a good thing because then this, 233 00:08:15,425 --> 00:08:17,444 you know, community directive, 234 00:08:18,144 --> 00:08:20,224 with regards to coordinating with ICE. Again, this 235 00:08:20,224 --> 00:08:22,384 is Confederate behavior on behalf of the Garden 236 00:08:22,384 --> 00:08:24,704 State. You're supposed to work hand in hand 237 00:08:24,704 --> 00:08:26,944 with the federal government when you don't, IE, 238 00:08:26,944 --> 00:08:27,685 no history. 239 00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:31,509 That's considered Confederate behavior. That's considered insurrection behavior. 240 00:08:32,450 --> 00:08:34,929 So taking this a step further, I'm tying 241 00:08:34,929 --> 00:08:36,289 in the New Jersey and the Garden State 242 00:08:36,289 --> 00:08:38,210 stuff that happened earlier this week. But, again, 243 00:08:38,210 --> 00:08:40,210 the Democrats don't seem to get it. The 244 00:08:40,210 --> 00:08:42,450 vast majority of American people poll after poll 245 00:08:42,450 --> 00:08:43,190 after poll. 246 00:08:43,514 --> 00:08:46,095 When they're asked the question, all illegal immigrants, 247 00:08:46,315 --> 00:08:47,615 it is a super majority. 248 00:08:47,995 --> 00:08:50,715 They want border enforcement. How many months have 249 00:08:50,715 --> 00:08:52,634 we gone now under the Trump administration where 250 00:08:52,634 --> 00:08:55,355 there isn't one single person released into this 251 00:08:55,355 --> 00:08:57,754 country, into the interior that's an illegal alien? 252 00:08:57,754 --> 00:09:00,210 It's been many, many months. And even further, 253 00:09:00,210 --> 00:09:02,570 we're doing deportation efforts because these people need 254 00:09:02,570 --> 00:09:03,809 to get out. You hear about this horror 255 00:09:03,809 --> 00:09:06,070 story that just happened in Chicago of this 256 00:09:06,450 --> 00:09:07,990 college student who was shot, 257 00:09:08,769 --> 00:09:11,169 running away from an illegal alien who who's 258 00:09:11,169 --> 00:09:12,954 been arrested. I don't know how many times, 259 00:09:12,954 --> 00:09:15,434 multiple times, and probably was part of some 260 00:09:15,434 --> 00:09:17,834 gang initiation to kill her, and now she's 261 00:09:17,834 --> 00:09:19,294 dead. And it was completely 262 00:09:20,074 --> 00:09:22,014 avoidable if you actually enforce, 263 00:09:22,714 --> 00:09:24,154 all these laws. And this is a long 264 00:09:24,154 --> 00:09:27,230 roundabout way of saying that, again, we need 265 00:09:27,230 --> 00:09:29,629 to do the job of the laws on 266 00:09:29,629 --> 00:09:31,950 the books, and Democrats are trying to play 267 00:09:31,950 --> 00:09:32,450 politics 268 00:09:32,830 --> 00:09:35,230 with all of this stuff because they know 269 00:09:35,230 --> 00:09:37,230 what kind of damage this does to their 270 00:09:37,230 --> 00:09:39,250 own constituency. You talked about earlier, 271 00:09:39,904 --> 00:09:41,665 when they go back to their own home 272 00:09:41,665 --> 00:09:42,725 districts and states 273 00:09:43,264 --> 00:09:44,945 that there's gonna be some complaints about this. 274 00:09:44,945 --> 00:09:47,024 They won't even have town halls or complain 275 00:09:47,024 --> 00:09:49,345 about this stuff. They'll ignore it because they 276 00:09:49,345 --> 00:09:51,125 stick to each other. 277 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,779 What happens in one state or one district, 278 00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:56,079 they don't care unless they have a fear 279 00:09:56,079 --> 00:09:58,559 of losing an election, then their behavior starts 280 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,559 to change. But in these districts where Democrats 281 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,279 are plus 10 or plus, 15 or something, 282 00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:05,785 they don't care what their constituents say. They're 283 00:10:05,785 --> 00:10:07,225 going to do what they're going to do 284 00:10:07,225 --> 00:10:08,285 based on their ideology. 285 00:10:08,904 --> 00:10:11,565 And that means stopping Trump at all all 286 00:10:12,184 --> 00:10:13,325 angles as possible, 287 00:10:13,705 --> 00:10:16,424 and that there isn't gonna be any help 288 00:10:16,424 --> 00:10:17,965 for ICE or border patrol 289 00:10:18,590 --> 00:10:20,990 further, quote, unquote, or DHS, etcetera, and they'll 290 00:10:20,990 --> 00:10:23,629 use Americans as pawns. And, again, they don't 291 00:10:23,629 --> 00:10:25,950 seem to realize when they make accusations of 292 00:10:25,950 --> 00:10:29,250 ICE and border patrol being lawless, it's lies. 293 00:10:30,029 --> 00:10:32,350 ICE and border patrol are doing exactly what 294 00:10:32,350 --> 00:10:34,245 they are supposed to do following the law, 295 00:10:34,325 --> 00:10:36,504 going into the interior, and finding illegal aliens 296 00:10:36,565 --> 00:10:38,985 who broke the law by coming in here, 297 00:10:39,205 --> 00:10:41,365 making them criminals, and they need to leave, 298 00:10:41,365 --> 00:10:43,605 and they will be arrested. And, again, this 299 00:10:43,605 --> 00:10:45,144 is gonna be the power struggle. 300 00:10:46,964 --> 00:10:47,464 Yeah. 301 00:10:48,004 --> 00:10:49,705 And they always need a struggle. 302 00:10:50,090 --> 00:10:52,990 They need a struggle in order to maintain 303 00:10:53,049 --> 00:10:54,590 some degree of face, 304 00:10:55,290 --> 00:10:58,649 with, the people who are like them, not 305 00:10:58,649 --> 00:11:00,570 very bright when it comes to the issues 306 00:11:00,570 --> 00:11:03,595 and what's most necessary for the people, the 307 00:11:03,595 --> 00:11:05,914 residents of, each and every one of our 308 00:11:05,914 --> 00:11:06,414 districts. 309 00:11:08,315 --> 00:11:10,154 One of the other things that I I 310 00:11:10,154 --> 00:11:11,934 simply don't seem to understand, 311 00:11:12,794 --> 00:11:14,715 but and I don't quite know whether it's 312 00:11:14,715 --> 00:11:18,250 8020, but the Save America Act, the Safeguard 313 00:11:18,309 --> 00:11:19,690 American Voter Eligibility, 314 00:11:20,629 --> 00:11:22,009 Save America Act, 315 00:11:22,549 --> 00:11:23,529 I don't understand 316 00:11:23,909 --> 00:11:26,809 how it is that Democrats can say, Absolutely 317 00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:28,809 not. We are not going to pass this. 318 00:11:29,429 --> 00:11:31,370 It's bad for married women. 319 00:11:32,044 --> 00:11:33,904 Like, women Yeah. Can't navigate 320 00:11:34,684 --> 00:11:35,184 government. 321 00:11:36,125 --> 00:11:37,024 What do you think? 322 00:11:37,404 --> 00:11:39,804 So so, again, this this this makes me 323 00:11:39,804 --> 00:11:41,725 laugh because and it goes back to my 324 00:11:41,725 --> 00:11:43,485 earlier point. The Democrats that are in these 325 00:11:43,485 --> 00:11:45,164 safe districts and or states where they win 326 00:11:45,164 --> 00:11:46,784 by double digits or more 327 00:11:47,179 --> 00:11:49,019 are going to bend to the fact that 328 00:11:49,019 --> 00:11:50,779 this is an eighty twenty. I mean, we're 329 00:11:50,779 --> 00:11:53,360 not even joking. The polling is consistent 330 00:11:53,740 --> 00:11:56,379 across all sexes, across all races, across all 331 00:11:56,379 --> 00:11:59,259 parties. That 80% plus think that the Save 332 00:11:59,259 --> 00:12:00,700 America Act that you should be able to 333 00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:02,459 show some form of ID to be able 334 00:12:02,459 --> 00:12:04,595 to vote in an election is totally sane. 335 00:12:04,595 --> 00:12:06,434 It is an eighty twenty thing, but there 336 00:12:06,434 --> 00:12:08,675 are so many Democrats in districts and in 337 00:12:08,675 --> 00:12:11,955 states that will not support this. Now my 338 00:12:11,955 --> 00:12:14,035 position on all this is because this has 339 00:12:14,035 --> 00:12:15,795 been a long standing thing. You know, you 340 00:12:15,795 --> 00:12:17,600 look at the New York Times, ten, twelve, 341 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,399 fifteen years, they're writing articles about how election 342 00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:23,600 fraud can. My general premise for any of 343 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,860 this stuff is there is an opportunity 344 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,100 for things to happen, 345 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,899 meaning illegal or behavior otherwise, 346 00:12:31,295 --> 00:12:34,335 and this BS nonsense of of the honor 347 00:12:34,335 --> 00:12:37,055 system, again, by signing a document stating that, 348 00:12:37,055 --> 00:12:39,375 yep, you are an American citizen. Okay. Cool. 349 00:12:39,375 --> 00:12:41,215 How do we enforce that? If there is 350 00:12:41,215 --> 00:12:43,774 opportunity to cheat, then those loopholes need to 351 00:12:43,774 --> 00:12:45,375 be closed. And the easiest way to close 352 00:12:45,375 --> 00:12:46,115 those loopholes 353 00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:49,399 is with a government ID. And then, like 354 00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:51,580 you said, the democrats complain say that women, 355 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,639 who have maiden names changed to mirror names, 356 00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:56,360 you know, you're disenfranchising them, or hell, on 357 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,879 the other side of the coin, if they're 358 00:12:57,879 --> 00:12:59,179 getting divorced or separated, 359 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,700 or let's say 360 00:13:01,134 --> 00:13:03,615 they're moving, etcetera. You ask anyone on the 361 00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:05,214 street. You see any of these videos, man 362 00:13:05,214 --> 00:13:06,815 on the street, woman on the street, and 363 00:13:06,815 --> 00:13:09,054 they will know exactly where the DMV is 364 00:13:09,054 --> 00:13:10,654 or where and how to get a government 365 00:13:10,654 --> 00:13:13,389 ID and how much it costs. And, again, 366 00:13:13,389 --> 00:13:15,149 then the Democrats fixate on, oh, you know, 367 00:13:15,149 --> 00:13:16,509 this is like a poll tax. It costs 368 00:13:16,509 --> 00:13:17,789 somebody $36 369 00:13:17,789 --> 00:13:19,870 or $40 to get a government ID. There's 370 00:13:19,870 --> 00:13:21,549 plenty of programs out there if you are 371 00:13:21,549 --> 00:13:23,950 really bent out of shape for $40 372 00:13:23,950 --> 00:13:25,950 to get an ID. But, again, you need 373 00:13:25,950 --> 00:13:29,285 an ID for dozens of other things. Getting 374 00:13:29,285 --> 00:13:32,884 into bars, purchasing cigarettes, buying alcohol, getting on 375 00:13:32,884 --> 00:13:33,384 airplanes, 376 00:13:33,925 --> 00:13:35,445 renting a car. I mean, the list can 377 00:13:35,445 --> 00:13:37,045 go on and on. And the fact that 378 00:13:37,045 --> 00:13:39,125 Democrats won't do this is because there's enough 379 00:13:39,125 --> 00:13:40,884 of those Democrats, like I said, that are 380 00:13:40,884 --> 00:13:43,080 in districts and states that don't really care 381 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,320 if it's an eighty twenty thing. They don't 382 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,160 believe in it. They don't support it, and 383 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,960 they think it will eventually hurt them because 384 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,879 we do know, and now we're learning even 385 00:13:51,879 --> 00:13:54,120 more with Nick Shirley in California, not just 386 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,379 from the fraud standpoint, but there's clearly 387 00:13:57,315 --> 00:14:00,035 election fraud, which everyone has talked about in 388 00:14:00,035 --> 00:14:02,695 California. Now, again, we have to get specific 389 00:14:02,754 --> 00:14:03,254 examples. 390 00:14:03,955 --> 00:14:06,215 And my premise, my position has always been, 391 00:14:06,355 --> 00:14:07,654 if there is a process 392 00:14:08,035 --> 00:14:09,990 to go vote, to go do something where 393 00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:12,629 there is a potential opportunity for cheating to 394 00:14:12,629 --> 00:14:15,190 take place or fraud to take place, then 395 00:14:15,190 --> 00:14:16,710 we need to close those loopholes. Plain and 396 00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:18,789 simple. What else does the Save Act do? 397 00:14:18,789 --> 00:14:21,350 It repeals a lot of the the motor 398 00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:23,750 voter registration. Right? You go to DMV. They 399 00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:25,184 ask you if you wanna register to vote. 400 00:14:25,184 --> 00:14:26,384 Do you know how many people and we 401 00:14:26,384 --> 00:14:28,084 talked about this with the assemblyman Bergen. 402 00:14:28,625 --> 00:14:29,664 Do you know how many people when you 403 00:14:29,664 --> 00:14:31,924 get voter data list when you're a candidate 404 00:14:32,225 --> 00:14:33,985 or knocking on doors or whatever, where you 405 00:14:33,985 --> 00:14:35,824 get multiple names at the same address, and 406 00:14:35,824 --> 00:14:37,745 guess what? It's the same person, but they've 407 00:14:37,745 --> 00:14:40,949 registered to vote multiple times because, for instance, 408 00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:43,350 my name, Brian Thomas Fitzherber. I may register 409 00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:45,269 as Brian Thomas Fitzherber. And let's say I'm 410 00:14:45,269 --> 00:14:47,269 stupid, and I forget that I'm already registered 411 00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:48,629 vote. I registered again when I get my 412 00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:50,709 new license. And I do it Brian t 413 00:14:50,709 --> 00:14:52,345 Fitzherber. And then I do a third time, 414 00:14:52,345 --> 00:14:54,584 and it's Brian Fitzherber. Or maybe I have 415 00:14:54,584 --> 00:14:56,184 a short form. Let's say I went by 416 00:14:56,184 --> 00:14:58,345 Bry and went Bry Fitzherber. You could have 417 00:14:58,345 --> 00:15:01,004 four separate registrations under the same individual 418 00:15:01,384 --> 00:15:03,944 at the same household that, again, when you 419 00:15:03,944 --> 00:15:06,204 get a vote by mail ballot 420 00:15:07,129 --> 00:15:09,610 in the like, you have happened in 2020, 421 00:15:09,610 --> 00:15:11,210 there could be all of those ballots for 422 00:15:11,210 --> 00:15:14,250 one individual. And then, again, apartments, transitory places 423 00:15:14,250 --> 00:15:16,170 where multiple people live and an address could 424 00:15:16,170 --> 00:15:17,529 be a one year lease. They could be 425 00:15:17,529 --> 00:15:19,334 there for multiple years. So many things can 426 00:15:19,334 --> 00:15:20,794 happen. If there is an opportunity 427 00:15:21,174 --> 00:15:23,334 for cheating to happen, especially when we know 428 00:15:23,334 --> 00:15:25,735 in 2020 in New Jersey alone, the signature 429 00:15:25,735 --> 00:15:28,294 verification was waived, then all of a sudden 430 00:15:28,294 --> 00:15:29,834 you had this massive uptick 431 00:15:30,134 --> 00:15:33,100 in, quote, unquote, voter participation. So, again, my 432 00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:35,019 position has always been if there's opportunity to 433 00:15:35,019 --> 00:15:37,019 cheat, then that's a problem we need to 434 00:15:37,019 --> 00:15:38,860 close those loopholes. And this is what the 435 00:15:38,860 --> 00:15:40,800 Save Act does. The fact that the Democrats 436 00:15:40,860 --> 00:15:42,779 do not support this is very simple, like 437 00:15:42,779 --> 00:15:44,540 I said. It's because they live in double 438 00:15:44,540 --> 00:15:46,565 digit districts where it doesn't matter what their 439 00:15:46,565 --> 00:15:48,904 constituents say. They're never gonna lose an election. 440 00:15:49,044 --> 00:15:51,144 So they have no problem supporting, 441 00:15:51,684 --> 00:15:54,264 or going against that kind of legislation because 442 00:15:54,804 --> 00:15:57,444 they also fear that, oh, my voting block 443 00:15:57,444 --> 00:15:59,365 will go down. You've had Democrats on record 444 00:15:59,365 --> 00:16:02,410 saying, we need more immigrants in my district 445 00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:04,970 or more immigrants in a state to 446 00:16:05,350 --> 00:16:07,769 power up the electoral vote prospects. 447 00:16:08,149 --> 00:16:10,149 I mean, it's that they do this not 448 00:16:10,149 --> 00:16:10,649 only 449 00:16:11,029 --> 00:16:13,029 in in verbal, but they do it on 450 00:16:13,029 --> 00:16:13,529 camera. 451 00:16:14,455 --> 00:16:14,955 Yeah. 452 00:16:16,054 --> 00:16:17,034 What what is 453 00:16:17,735 --> 00:16:20,554 an absolute disgrace to our country have happens, 454 00:16:21,254 --> 00:16:23,414 to be when you get testimony from people 455 00:16:23,414 --> 00:16:24,235 that are there, 456 00:16:24,615 --> 00:16:26,075 and they tell you 457 00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:29,000 that the absentee ballots that come in, the 458 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,420 mail in ballots, they came in sequence. 459 00:16:31,879 --> 00:16:33,639 Now if they're mail in balance, there is 460 00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:36,620 no way in hell that the sequential numbers 461 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,160 are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 462 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,644 eight, nine, ten.

I believe he was 484 00:17:24,609 --> 00:17:25,430 two years old. 485 00:17:25,970 --> 00:17:27,309 No, no, I didn't hear that. But it 486 00:17:27,309 --> 00:17:28,230 was over there. The 487 00:17:28,609 --> 00:17:29,650 agent And the, 488 00:17:30,450 --> 00:17:31,349 ICE agent, 489 00:17:32,210 --> 00:17:34,390 gave him mouth to mouth, brought him back. 490 00:17:35,329 --> 00:17:37,570 And he was taken to the hospital, I 491 00:17:37,570 --> 00:17:39,904 guess. Yeah. Thank you, God, for ICE agents. 492 00:17:39,904 --> 00:17:42,945 That's what I said. That's what that was 493 00:17:42,945 --> 00:17:43,765 so nice. 494 00:17:44,224 --> 00:17:44,724 Yeah. 495 00:17:45,025 --> 00:17:46,545 You know? A little two year old, I 496 00:17:46,545 --> 00:17:47,845 believe. Yeah. 497 00:17:48,545 --> 00:17:49,365 Stop breathing. 498 00:17:50,305 --> 00:17:52,779 Yeah. ICE agents are there for good, not 499 00:17:52,779 --> 00:17:54,960 for evil. They're not there to 500 00:17:55,259 --> 00:17:57,519 to pick and choose who they want to, 501 00:17:58,380 --> 00:18:00,700 do damage to. They're there for the sake 502 00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:03,115 of the people to have things moving a 503 00:18:03,115 --> 00:18:05,515 little more quickly than they can be because 504 00:18:05,515 --> 00:18:07,674 of the lack of TSA agents. They're doing 505 00:18:07,674 --> 00:18:10,494 a fabulous job. And anybody that doesn't recognize 506 00:18:10,634 --> 00:18:12,494 that, Linda, is a fool. And 507 00:18:13,034 --> 00:18:15,515 and the people are appreciating them. Black and 508 00:18:15,515 --> 00:18:18,494 white, you know, they're really appreciating the TSA. 509 00:18:18,554 --> 00:18:19,940 So The guy turned around and said, look. 510 00:18:19,940 --> 00:18:21,700 There they are. They're just doing they're walking 511 00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:23,700 around, you know, doing what they're supposed to 512 00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:26,500 be doing. No problem. Everything's good to save 513 00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:28,759 a little two year old who stops breathing 514 00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:31,480 and passing out water. You know? 515 00:18:32,019 --> 00:18:34,684 Well, you know, it's funny I it's funny, 516 00:18:34,684 --> 00:18:37,565 Linda. The the announcement of the president that 517 00:18:37,565 --> 00:18:39,404 ICE agents were going to be going into 518 00:18:39,404 --> 00:18:40,704 the airports as, 519 00:18:41,085 --> 00:18:43,404 backup and support to TSA agents that were 520 00:18:43,404 --> 00:18:45,964 working, I think, sent a really critical message 521 00:18:45,964 --> 00:18:47,565 to the Democrats. I think that's why things 522 00:18:47,565 --> 00:18:49,259 started to move a little bit more, 523 00:18:49,660 --> 00:18:51,900 with regard to the shutdown because, again, then 524 00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:55,420 individuals at airports, because ICE isn't reflected very 525 00:18:55,420 --> 00:18:57,099 well in the media. And if you get 526 00:18:57,099 --> 00:18:59,980 people that are exposed to ICE agents waiting 527 00:18:59,980 --> 00:19:02,220 online, getting through the airport, get to know 528 00:19:02,220 --> 00:19:04,059 them, talk to them, or see what they're 529 00:19:04,059 --> 00:19:04,559 doing, 530 00:19:04,974 --> 00:19:07,214 it changes the dynamic. It changes the narrative. 531 00:19:07,214 --> 00:19:09,774 It damages the Democrats' narrative. And, again, it 532 00:19:09,774 --> 00:19:11,534 was all BS to begin with, but this 533 00:19:11,534 --> 00:19:14,174 is part of the psychological warfare that goes 534 00:19:14,174 --> 00:19:15,154 on during politics 535 00:19:15,454 --> 00:19:17,934 every freaking day, and then Democrats try to 536 00:19:17,934 --> 00:19:19,694 do something for maximum damage. So, 537 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,539 I think that, you know, everything, unfortunately, 538 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:23,720 is part of, 539 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,480 the strategy. And, again, ICE agents do their 540 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,299 job to protect you, me, everybody listening 541 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,384 from those that commit crimes that come here 542 00:19:33,384 --> 00:19:35,625 illegally. They are not supposed to be here. 543 00:19:35,625 --> 00:19:37,065 They need to follow the law. They need 544 00:19:37,065 --> 00:19:38,825 to follow the process. If they don't, they 545 00:19:38,825 --> 00:19:39,884 should get out of here. 546 00:19:41,865 --> 00:19:43,625 Brian, I'm so happy that you're here with 547 00:19:43,625 --> 00:19:44,125 me. 548 00:19:44,664 --> 00:19:46,845 I you know, the issues, 549 00:19:47,224 --> 00:19:49,150 they keep they keep mounting, 550 00:19:50,569 --> 00:19:53,369 are the worry that people have about, the, 551 00:19:54,809 --> 00:19:55,549 the war 552 00:19:56,410 --> 00:19:59,150 against Iran, against them wanting to have, 553 00:19:59,529 --> 00:20:00,509 nuclear weapons. 554 00:20:01,454 --> 00:20:01,934 And, 555 00:20:02,335 --> 00:20:04,835 most of the countries in The Middle East 556 00:20:04,974 --> 00:20:07,234 now backing what America is doing. 557 00:20:07,855 --> 00:20:09,394 Do you find any downside 558 00:20:09,775 --> 00:20:12,434 with what's occurring in The Middle East today? 559 00:20:13,570 --> 00:20:16,130 Well, the fog of war is upon us, 560 00:20:16,130 --> 00:20:16,869 number one. 561 00:20:17,330 --> 00:20:19,350 And regardless of how people feel 562 00:20:20,049 --> 00:20:22,769 going in or not going in, etcetera, we're 563 00:20:22,769 --> 00:20:24,850 there right now, and we are feeling the 564 00:20:24,850 --> 00:20:26,690 impacts of that, and there's multiple levels of 565 00:20:26,690 --> 00:20:27,190 that. 566 00:20:27,725 --> 00:20:28,424 You know, obviously, 567 00:20:28,805 --> 00:20:30,565 anyone listening is wondering, well, how does this 568 00:20:30,565 --> 00:20:32,805 affect me? Well, two things. Obviously, from a 569 00:20:32,805 --> 00:20:35,205 national security standpoint to keep us safe, as 570 00:20:35,205 --> 00:20:37,865 well as our day to day, which, unfortunately, 571 00:20:37,924 --> 00:20:40,025 is the gas pump. And it's not necessarily, 572 00:20:40,724 --> 00:20:42,830 anything else. Because remember, it takes forty five 573 00:20:42,830 --> 00:20:43,730 days to refine 574 00:20:44,029 --> 00:20:46,269 oil into gas and and then and then 575 00:20:46,269 --> 00:20:48,529 some. So everything you're seeing price wise today, 576 00:20:49,230 --> 00:20:51,730 sadly, just think about once this is resolved, 577 00:20:52,029 --> 00:20:53,710 that forty five days after that, then we'll 578 00:20:53,710 --> 00:20:55,309 start to see some prices come down because 579 00:20:55,309 --> 00:20:55,970 it's affecting 580 00:20:56,384 --> 00:20:59,904 supply, which ultimately affects, the price. And then 581 00:20:59,904 --> 00:21:02,565 it's not necessarily that we get our oil 582 00:21:03,184 --> 00:21:05,984 from, you know, OPEC and Iran. We don't. 583 00:21:05,984 --> 00:21:07,445 Most of it is is, 584 00:21:08,224 --> 00:21:10,240 we're a net exporter. We get most of 585 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,740 our oil ourselves, but it affects the markets, 586 00:21:13,519 --> 00:21:15,519 from that standpoint. So that's, like, the fundamental 587 00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:16,819 thing to think about. Now, 588 00:21:17,279 --> 00:21:19,619 there's always the the debate now I'm seeing, 589 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,759 not just in conservative circles, but also on 590 00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:23,474 the media and everything else that, you know, 591 00:21:23,474 --> 00:21:25,554 what was the imminent threat with Iran? And, 592 00:21:25,554 --> 00:21:27,634 again, you know, I talked, three weeks ago 593 00:21:27,634 --> 00:21:29,494 or so when this first kicked off, 594 00:21:30,275 --> 00:21:33,075 about what an imminent threat or what it 595 00:21:33,075 --> 00:21:35,075 may be. It's the imminent threat was the 596 00:21:35,075 --> 00:21:36,119 fact that we've been, 597 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,200 threatened for forty seven years, and it was 598 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,960 only Donald Trump that did something about it. 599 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,339 It was the nuclear, 600 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,019 program that was destroyed, 601 00:21:44,039 --> 00:21:46,359 last June, and now it's even further because, 602 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,039 again, it's like a bully. You kick him 603 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,420 you punch him in the face, 604 00:21:49,724 --> 00:21:52,045 and he's supposed to basically say, okay. I'm 605 00:21:52,045 --> 00:21:53,404 not gonna do that anymore because it was 606 00:21:53,404 --> 00:21:54,065 a reaction. 607 00:21:54,444 --> 00:21:55,644 And then if they come back and they 608 00:21:55,644 --> 00:21:57,484 wanna bully more, then guess what? Excuse my 609 00:21:57,484 --> 00:21:58,684 language here, but you gotta kick him in 610 00:21:58,684 --> 00:22:01,005 the nuts. You have to keep going until 611 00:22:01,005 --> 00:22:03,265 the behavior change. Why do we do things 612 00:22:03,660 --> 00:22:05,580 with regard to these regimes? Do we do 613 00:22:05,580 --> 00:22:06,080 punishment? 614 00:22:06,539 --> 00:22:09,119 Do we do regime change? Do we do, 615 00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:12,160 anything else that may fall under that umbrella 616 00:22:12,539 --> 00:22:14,160 from a national security standpoint? 617 00:22:14,539 --> 00:22:17,039 And we've now seen that our 618 00:22:17,384 --> 00:22:17,884 public 619 00:22:18,505 --> 00:22:20,744 knowledge of how far a lot of these 620 00:22:20,744 --> 00:22:21,244 ICBMs, 621 00:22:21,625 --> 00:22:22,605 you know, intercontinental 622 00:22:22,984 --> 00:22:26,045 ballistic missiles could go from Iran 623 00:22:26,664 --> 00:22:30,110 was totally BS. They could actually strike further 624 00:22:30,110 --> 00:22:32,910 than what was previously known or claimed because 625 00:22:32,910 --> 00:22:34,990 they fired one, and guess what? It went 626 00:22:34,990 --> 00:22:36,769 quite a bit. It went more than, 627 00:22:37,470 --> 00:22:39,170 2,000 kilometers. So 628 00:22:39,870 --> 00:22:41,970 all this stuff that's going on, again, 629 00:22:42,464 --> 00:22:44,704 Trump is trying to get into a place 630 00:22:44,704 --> 00:22:46,164 that this does not continue, 631 00:22:46,704 --> 00:22:48,704 and the Ayatollah is dead. Again, we went 632 00:22:48,704 --> 00:22:50,304 through all the review of that. The current 633 00:22:50,304 --> 00:22:53,744 Ayatollah probably is dead or is about to 634 00:22:53,744 --> 00:22:55,345 die because he hasn't shown his face. Why 635 00:22:55,345 --> 00:22:56,944 wouldn't you show your face and do a 636 00:22:56,944 --> 00:22:57,765 word statement, 637 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,440 unless you were seriously disfigured or on life 638 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,960 support or dying or brain dead or whatever 639 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,880 it may be? And I think that there's 640 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:04,940 still destabilization. 641 00:23:05,399 --> 00:23:07,019 Now to your broader question 642 00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:09,399 with regard to The Middle East, yes, you 643 00:23:09,399 --> 00:23:11,000 are correct. And a lot of people are 644 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,184 now seeing that a lot of these countries 645 00:23:13,184 --> 00:23:15,125 in the neighborhood, right, in the neighborhood 646 00:23:15,505 --> 00:23:16,964 of Iran that 647 00:23:17,265 --> 00:23:19,605 are cheering this on whether privately or publicly. 648 00:23:19,664 --> 00:23:21,605 In a lot of cases, they're doing both, 649 00:23:21,984 --> 00:23:24,545 that this is the final time. And once 650 00:23:24,545 --> 00:23:25,605 we see more 651 00:23:26,309 --> 00:23:29,109 movement, I I suspect over the next probably 652 00:23:29,109 --> 00:23:30,569 two weeks, maybe three weeks, 653 00:23:31,109 --> 00:23:33,450 we'll probably see a decision of how far 654 00:23:33,669 --> 00:23:35,829 we're going to go and destroy things even 655 00:23:35,829 --> 00:23:38,149 further. Because, again, Trump is nothing if not 656 00:23:38,149 --> 00:23:39,990 consistent. You go back in time. You see 657 00:23:39,990 --> 00:23:42,855 his videos when he was my age talking 658 00:23:42,855 --> 00:23:45,255 about how to deal with Iran, his comments 659 00:23:45,255 --> 00:23:47,575 about Iraq, how big of a mistake was. 660 00:23:47,575 --> 00:23:48,795 But once we were there, 661 00:23:49,255 --> 00:23:50,075 we should have, 662 00:23:50,455 --> 00:23:52,934 done things differently, especially in his view. We 663 00:23:52,934 --> 00:23:54,480 should have taken the oil. What are we 664 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,559 getting for doing this? I think Trump's mentality 665 00:23:56,559 --> 00:23:58,400 is, again, the same thing. If we're going 666 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,640 to do something like we just did, not 667 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,440 just from a national security standpoint, but from 668 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,599 a wire what's the in it for the 669 00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:08,285 Americans? Oh, you, I bet you he's gonna 670 00:24:08,285 --> 00:24:10,445 have control or The United States is gonna 671 00:24:10,445 --> 00:24:11,884 have control of a lot of the oil 672 00:24:11,884 --> 00:24:12,384 supply 673 00:24:13,244 --> 00:24:15,964 with regard to, the output and maybe some 674 00:24:15,964 --> 00:24:16,625 kind of, 675 00:24:17,164 --> 00:24:18,765 take back from that. So that will change 676 00:24:18,765 --> 00:24:19,424 the dynamics 677 00:24:19,940 --> 00:24:21,779 significantly. And, again, it's just like you, me, 678 00:24:21,779 --> 00:24:24,039 or anyone else listening that has a neighborhood, 679 00:24:24,740 --> 00:24:26,660 where you live in your house, your development 680 00:24:26,660 --> 00:24:28,440 or your street or whatever it may be. 681 00:24:28,660 --> 00:24:30,980 If there's somebody in your neighborhood that is 682 00:24:30,980 --> 00:24:32,740 very frustrating for fill in the blank reasons 683 00:24:32,740 --> 00:24:35,184 and then someone finally does something, do the 684 00:24:35,184 --> 00:24:37,585 other neighbors stand up and do something as 685 00:24:37,585 --> 00:24:39,664 well? And I mean, that's a drastic example 686 00:24:39,664 --> 00:24:41,984 of, analogy, but that's exactly what's going on 687 00:24:41,984 --> 00:24:44,865 in The Middle East with Iran. And, again, 688 00:24:44,865 --> 00:24:46,785 these notions that Iran was not an imminent 689 00:24:46,785 --> 00:24:48,005 threat because we took out 690 00:24:48,380 --> 00:24:50,240 their nuclear capability or if there's, 691 00:24:50,620 --> 00:24:52,299 you know, changing of the goal post with 692 00:24:52,299 --> 00:24:53,360 regard to, oh, 693 00:24:53,740 --> 00:24:56,380 you know, it's nuclear program. Well, no. Now 694 00:24:56,380 --> 00:24:57,120 it's enrichment 695 00:24:58,059 --> 00:24:58,880 on ICBMs. 696 00:24:59,420 --> 00:25:01,120 There's no reason to enrich uranium 697 00:25:01,525 --> 00:25:03,845 past, say, probably 1820% 698 00:25:03,845 --> 00:25:05,845 unless you're trying to create a nuclear bomb. 699 00:25:05,845 --> 00:25:07,684 That's what they openly said that they were 700 00:25:07,684 --> 00:25:09,924 doing. Yeah. You may have destroyed what we 701 00:25:09,924 --> 00:25:11,204 have, but we still have stockpiles, and we 702 00:25:11,204 --> 00:25:12,984 could probably put these into ICBMs 703 00:25:13,285 --> 00:25:15,224 and do some damage. And, again, 704 00:25:16,130 --> 00:25:18,210 this is nothing new. For forty seven years, 705 00:25:18,210 --> 00:25:20,369 you've heard chance of death to America. And 706 00:25:20,369 --> 00:25:23,250 how many presidents? Seven presidents before Donald Trump 707 00:25:23,250 --> 00:25:26,049 that just let this happen. And he finally 708 00:25:26,049 --> 00:25:26,950 made a decision 709 00:25:27,410 --> 00:25:30,049 last June, and guess what? Their behavior did 710 00:25:30,049 --> 00:25:32,045 not change. So he came, and he hit 711 00:25:32,045 --> 00:25:33,884 them again. And he's watching to see if 712 00:25:33,884 --> 00:25:35,565 their behavior changes. If it doesn't, again, he's 713 00:25:35,565 --> 00:25:37,644 going to hit them even harder. He's got 714 00:25:37,644 --> 00:25:40,045 the military capability and the leverage to do 715 00:25:40,045 --> 00:25:42,285 that. And whether or not there's mixed messaging 716 00:25:42,285 --> 00:25:44,589 that's coming out, it's the fog of war. 717 00:25:44,589 --> 00:25:45,809 This stuff happens 718 00:25:46,109 --> 00:25:48,669 so quickly, so fast that people are not 719 00:25:48,669 --> 00:25:51,230 briefed in real time. Things that are being 720 00:25:51,230 --> 00:25:54,269 reported from oh, I talked to somebody in 721 00:25:54,269 --> 00:25:56,210 DNI. I talked to someone at DOD. 722 00:25:56,545 --> 00:25:59,505 I talked to someone, at NSA. It's all 723 00:25:59,505 --> 00:26:01,825 happening real time, and there isn't it it's 724 00:26:01,825 --> 00:26:02,644 very difficult 725 00:26:02,945 --> 00:26:04,384 when all these things are going on. And, 726 00:26:04,384 --> 00:26:05,904 again, it is the fog of war. I 727 00:26:05,904 --> 00:26:08,065 hate war. I can't stand I don't want 728 00:26:08,065 --> 00:26:11,130 war at all, but I want security, and 729 00:26:11,130 --> 00:26:13,130 I trust the president to keep The United 730 00:26:13,130 --> 00:26:15,289 States safe in the decisions that he's made. 731 00:26:15,289 --> 00:26:16,890 He has a knack for this. His gut, 732 00:26:16,890 --> 00:26:18,569 his political gut, whatever it may be, he's 733 00:26:18,569 --> 00:26:19,710 got a knack for it. 734 00:26:20,009 --> 00:26:20,509 Yeah. 735 00:26:20,890 --> 00:26:22,250 Does he have a knack, do you think, 736 00:26:22,250 --> 00:26:23,710 to go after Carv Island? 737 00:26:25,904 --> 00:26:28,384 If you were to put a gun to 738 00:26:28,384 --> 00:26:30,544 my head, I would venture to guess that 739 00:26:30,544 --> 00:26:32,724 he is absolutely going after it. 740 00:26:34,384 --> 00:26:35,845 What do you think then, 741 00:26:36,144 --> 00:26:38,704 the people that have been getting oil, from 742 00:26:38,704 --> 00:26:39,204 Iran, 743 00:26:40,710 --> 00:26:42,730 how will they change their behavior 744 00:26:43,190 --> 00:26:44,570 towards The United States? 745 00:26:45,990 --> 00:26:46,490 So 746 00:26:47,670 --> 00:26:50,070 you gotta remember that there are multiple facets 747 00:26:50,070 --> 00:26:51,829 of here. If Trump goes and does that, 748 00:26:51,829 --> 00:26:53,994 what happens? Right? You gotta game theory this 749 00:26:53,994 --> 00:26:55,835 out, which no doubt he's been briefed on. 750 00:26:55,835 --> 00:26:58,154 All those things just like what happens if 751 00:26:58,154 --> 00:26:59,994 he went into Iran last month like he 752 00:26:59,994 --> 00:27:00,494 did, 753 00:27:01,515 --> 00:27:03,434 with regard to everything that's going on. You 754 00:27:03,434 --> 00:27:05,740 gotta game theory all this out. So RAND 755 00:27:05,740 --> 00:27:07,179 has threatened that if you go after Card 756 00:27:07,179 --> 00:27:09,259 Island that they're gonna go after all these, 757 00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:12,380 water filtration plants, you know, which a lot 758 00:27:12,380 --> 00:27:14,059 of the Middle East heavily relies on a 759 00:27:14,059 --> 00:27:16,380 lot of these water filtration plants Right. To 760 00:27:16,380 --> 00:27:17,839 live. That's a huge problem. 761 00:27:19,099 --> 00:27:19,599 So 762 00:27:19,974 --> 00:27:22,375 energy is a huge thing. Obviously, energy is 763 00:27:22,375 --> 00:27:23,034 the lifeblood. 764 00:27:23,414 --> 00:27:25,575 Right? When all these countries in in the 765 00:27:25,575 --> 00:27:27,894 world, United States include, when you have natural 766 00:27:27,894 --> 00:27:28,394 resources 767 00:27:29,014 --> 00:27:29,514 to 768 00:27:29,815 --> 00:27:30,875 generate revenue, 769 00:27:31,734 --> 00:27:34,259 aside from everything else, When that gets threatened, 770 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,599 you may respond erratically as we've now seen 771 00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:38,500 with Iran. 772 00:27:39,279 --> 00:27:41,859 So I would suspect that and, again, 773 00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:44,319 not to get into the nitty gritty of 774 00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:45,460 military campaign 775 00:27:45,914 --> 00:27:48,154 type stuff. But if you're to grab Card 776 00:27:48,154 --> 00:27:51,035 Island, you cannot do that at 30,000 feet. 777 00:27:51,035 --> 00:27:51,934 Right? You need 778 00:27:52,795 --> 00:27:54,795 ground troops. You need the marines. You need, 779 00:27:56,075 --> 00:27:57,695 and and, again, this is where, 780 00:27:58,230 --> 00:28:01,190 again, from my perspective, being in aerospace defense 781 00:28:01,190 --> 00:28:03,289 industry and knowing weapons and aircraft, 782 00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:06,789 etcetera, and when assets are moved to be 783 00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:07,289 positioned, 784 00:28:07,670 --> 00:28:08,329 I can 785 00:28:08,630 --> 00:28:10,630 have a pretty good understanding of what kind 786 00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:12,490 of mission is going to take place, 787 00:28:13,154 --> 00:28:15,875 granted that that stuff is public knowledge. So 788 00:28:15,875 --> 00:28:17,875 when you start to see any kind of 789 00:28:17,875 --> 00:28:18,375 vehicles 790 00:28:19,154 --> 00:28:22,375 that have a ground assault purpose or capability, 791 00:28:22,914 --> 00:28:24,835 that would back up that mentality because you 792 00:28:24,835 --> 00:28:27,154 cannot take something like Carg Island from the 793 00:28:27,154 --> 00:28:29,019 air or anything else. You you you need 794 00:28:29,019 --> 00:28:30,000 a ground control, 795 00:28:30,539 --> 00:28:32,779 in some capacity, and that requires troops, and 796 00:28:32,779 --> 00:28:35,579 that requires risk. That means the death of 797 00:28:35,579 --> 00:28:36,079 soldiers, 798 00:28:36,380 --> 00:28:37,839 potentially, if there is 799 00:28:38,539 --> 00:28:40,634 a assault and there's a resistance on it. 800 00:28:40,714 --> 00:28:42,394 And then then there's getting control of it, 801 00:28:42,394 --> 00:28:45,035 and then the actual behavior that will come 802 00:28:45,035 --> 00:28:47,595 after is what you're referring to of other 803 00:28:47,595 --> 00:28:50,095 countries. Because, again, OPEC is still going, 804 00:28:51,195 --> 00:28:53,515 strong, quote, unquote, from, you know, the the 805 00:28:53,515 --> 00:28:55,994 organization of patrolling exporting countries, right, in The 806 00:28:55,994 --> 00:28:57,269 Middle East. Mhmm. 807 00:28:57,730 --> 00:28:59,490 So if all of a sudden Trump and 808 00:28:59,490 --> 00:29:02,069 The United States and or a military presence 809 00:29:02,130 --> 00:29:04,069 is there that's impacting 810 00:29:04,690 --> 00:29:05,190 refinery 811 00:29:05,650 --> 00:29:06,309 or impacting, 812 00:29:07,490 --> 00:29:07,990 logistics 813 00:29:08,609 --> 00:29:12,144 and overall supply and demand, then that significantly 814 00:29:12,144 --> 00:29:13,904 changes behavior. And then The Middle East, just 815 00:29:13,904 --> 00:29:16,464 like we've unfortunately seen in decades past, will 816 00:29:16,464 --> 00:29:18,545 make a calculation. Okay. How long is The 817 00:29:18,545 --> 00:29:20,065 United States gonna be here? Can we wait 818 00:29:20,065 --> 00:29:22,325 them out, or is this a paradigm shift 819 00:29:23,105 --> 00:29:26,460 that will continue? The their perspective is that 820 00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:29,659 that's unlikely because Americans, they're fickle. When things 821 00:29:29,659 --> 00:29:30,799 don't look good, the media 822 00:29:31,419 --> 00:29:33,900 can really hit on things. There's elections. There's 823 00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:37,419 changes in, political parties and political power. And 824 00:29:37,419 --> 00:29:38,159 let's say 825 00:29:38,734 --> 00:29:40,494 let's say JD Vance and Rubio are the 826 00:29:40,494 --> 00:29:42,815 ticket in '28, and then he continues. Okay. 827 00:29:42,815 --> 00:29:45,154 That's that's six years. Will they get reelected? 828 00:29:45,215 --> 00:29:47,535 Okay. That's ten years. What happens if a 829 00:29:47,535 --> 00:29:49,934 Democrat gets in there in '28? They're making 830 00:29:49,934 --> 00:29:52,130 those calculations too just like China's. That's why 831 00:29:52,130 --> 00:29:53,970 we're not seeing anything move with regard to 832 00:29:53,970 --> 00:29:55,349 the South China Sea or Taiwan 833 00:29:55,650 --> 00:29:57,730 now. They will wait until Trump is out 834 00:29:57,730 --> 00:29:58,390 of office, 835 00:29:59,089 --> 00:30:00,369 and then they'll wait and see who the 836 00:30:00,369 --> 00:30:02,289 who the new president is to determine that. 837 00:30:02,289 --> 00:30:05,109 But all those things are calculations. And, unfortunately 838 00:30:05,744 --> 00:30:07,904 unfortunately unfortunately, and I'll say that the three 839 00:30:07,904 --> 00:30:08,404 times, 840 00:30:08,944 --> 00:30:09,924 Iraq and Afghanistan 841 00:30:11,105 --> 00:30:13,345 prove that that you can be there for 842 00:30:13,345 --> 00:30:14,724 an extended period of time, 843 00:30:15,025 --> 00:30:15,525 and 844 00:30:16,384 --> 00:30:18,164 the opponent will wait you out. 845 00:30:19,109 --> 00:30:20,309 And then things go back to the way 846 00:30:20,309 --> 00:30:22,089 they were. Yeah. Yeah. It's very unfortunate. 847 00:30:22,390 --> 00:30:22,890 Yeah. 848 00:30:23,589 --> 00:30:25,289 You know, my my question 849 00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:31,029 really is, how is Iran still capable of 850 00:30:31,029 --> 00:30:31,529 attacking 851 00:30:32,355 --> 00:30:34,835 or threatening to attack, as you said, the 852 00:30:34,835 --> 00:30:35,734 water desalination 853 00:30:36,194 --> 00:30:37,174 plants, other, 854 00:30:37,875 --> 00:30:39,015 important infrastructure 855 00:30:39,554 --> 00:30:42,275 plants? How are they still capable of doing 856 00:30:42,275 --> 00:30:42,775 that? 857 00:30:43,234 --> 00:30:45,095 You would think that we would have eyes 858 00:30:45,315 --> 00:30:46,295 in the sky 859 00:30:46,769 --> 00:30:48,549 on Iran showing us 860 00:30:49,570 --> 00:30:52,690 where they are starting their assaults from so 861 00:30:52,690 --> 00:30:54,529 we can we can bomb the heck out 862 00:30:54,529 --> 00:30:55,809 of them and get rid of it. How 863 00:30:55,809 --> 00:30:57,509 are they still able to do this? 864 00:30:58,210 --> 00:30:59,730 So if you recall a few weeks ago 865 00:30:59,730 --> 00:31:01,090 when I when I went into a deep 866 00:31:01,090 --> 00:31:02,744 dive with regard to this, this is part 867 00:31:02,744 --> 00:31:03,404 of asymmetrical 868 00:31:03,785 --> 00:31:04,285 warfare. 869 00:31:04,904 --> 00:31:06,505 It does not take a lot of money 870 00:31:06,505 --> 00:31:08,184 to build a $30,000 871 00:31:08,184 --> 00:31:09,884 drone that has multiple, 872 00:31:10,505 --> 00:31:12,744 capabilities. And when I say capabilities, I mean, 873 00:31:12,744 --> 00:31:13,944 it can be an eye in the sky. 874 00:31:13,944 --> 00:31:15,704 It can have weapons on it, or itself 875 00:31:15,704 --> 00:31:16,765 can be a rocket 876 00:31:17,170 --> 00:31:18,789 that can be used as a missile. 877 00:31:19,650 --> 00:31:22,130 And that is what Iran is very good 878 00:31:22,130 --> 00:31:24,289 at doing. And, again, for us to stop 879 00:31:24,289 --> 00:31:25,750 those things, it costs us 880 00:31:26,130 --> 00:31:28,609 millions of dollars in interceptors or other types 881 00:31:28,609 --> 00:31:29,349 of vehicles 882 00:31:29,730 --> 00:31:30,549 and or, 883 00:31:31,095 --> 00:31:34,054 weapons to stop that. And, again, it should 884 00:31:34,054 --> 00:31:37,095 be very simple, but geographically speaking, Iran is 885 00:31:37,095 --> 00:31:38,634 very much like Afghanistan. 886 00:31:39,335 --> 00:31:40,875 And a lot of this stuff 887 00:31:41,174 --> 00:31:41,674 happens 888 00:31:42,214 --> 00:31:43,275 because, again, the 889 00:31:43,579 --> 00:31:45,839 the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary 890 00:31:46,380 --> 00:31:48,700 Guard Corps, which has basically been in control 891 00:31:48,700 --> 00:31:49,759 since '47, 892 00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:53,099 there's thousands of them, probably tens of thousands 893 00:31:53,099 --> 00:31:53,759 of them, 894 00:31:55,180 --> 00:31:57,579 that have a firm control and that this 895 00:31:57,579 --> 00:32:00,375 is spread out throughout the region. So there's 896 00:32:00,674 --> 00:32:02,194 plenty of things that are going on. I 897 00:32:02,194 --> 00:32:03,174 mean, you could have, 898 00:32:03,554 --> 00:32:05,234 splinter cells that, you know, if they're not 899 00:32:05,234 --> 00:32:07,734 getting direction from the Ayatollah because he's 900 00:32:08,035 --> 00:32:10,275 dead too, I'm just not publicly saying so 901 00:32:10,275 --> 00:32:11,849 or he's brain dead or whatever it is. 902 00:32:12,410 --> 00:32:15,470 And the negotiations that are allegedly going on 903 00:32:15,609 --> 00:32:16,109 would 904 00:32:16,410 --> 00:32:19,049 venture to indicate that they know that there 905 00:32:19,049 --> 00:32:22,490 is no control control structure or delegation structure 906 00:32:22,490 --> 00:32:24,329 in place, which is why they're trying to, 907 00:32:24,329 --> 00:32:25,674 you know, do things, 908 00:32:26,134 --> 00:32:27,815 to have some kind of conversation all at 909 00:32:27,815 --> 00:32:29,894 the same time, just as typical with, 910 00:32:30,375 --> 00:32:31,894 this government since '47 911 00:32:32,134 --> 00:32:33,914 I mean, since, '79, 912 00:32:33,974 --> 00:32:36,535 is that plain and simple, they wanna delay, 913 00:32:36,535 --> 00:32:37,355 delay, delay. 914 00:32:37,740 --> 00:32:40,059 And even though Trump's proven time after time 915 00:32:40,059 --> 00:32:42,140 again, you, for lack of better terms, you 916 00:32:42,140 --> 00:32:43,740 piss him off or you play games and 917 00:32:43,740 --> 00:32:45,259 you're not doing it in good faith, he 918 00:32:45,259 --> 00:32:47,660 will do what he says. Never make a 919 00:32:47,660 --> 00:32:49,339 threat that you're not willing to carry out. 920 00:32:49,339 --> 00:32:51,900 That's at every level of every aspect of 921 00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:52,720 human nature. 922 00:32:53,234 --> 00:32:55,234 Because if not, then you then you you 923 00:32:55,234 --> 00:32:56,835 cut tail, and you've got a tail between 924 00:32:56,835 --> 00:32:59,174 the legs.

And I 929 00:33:07,650 --> 00:33:09,269 would say that's a grave miscalculation 930 00:33:09,570 --> 00:33:10,070 because, 931 00:33:11,009 --> 00:33:12,769 like I said, we've seen things we've never 932 00:33:12,769 --> 00:33:13,509 seen before, 933 00:33:14,210 --> 00:33:15,910 with this military campaign. 934 00:33:16,450 --> 00:33:17,894 There are plenty of other, 935 00:33:18,535 --> 00:33:21,255 weapons and capabilities and military strategies that have 936 00:33:21,255 --> 00:33:23,914 not been seen by the public that Trump, 937 00:33:24,055 --> 00:33:26,154 I assure you, has been briefed to use. 938 00:33:26,295 --> 00:33:26,795 Yeah. 939 00:33:27,174 --> 00:33:29,595 Well, I I I worry about, 940 00:33:29,974 --> 00:33:32,559 the people of Iran, the good people of 941 00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:34,339 Iran that wanna see the IRGC 942 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:35,220 destroyed, 943 00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:37,220 that don't wanna see the 944 00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:39,519 theocratic form of government ever, 945 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,619 in their land again. 946 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,700 So I understand that. 947 00:33:44,634 --> 00:33:47,275 I I'm just so afraid that Iran, as 948 00:33:47,275 --> 00:33:48,575 they have always done, 949 00:33:49,035 --> 00:33:52,095 as bad countries have always done, they've planted 950 00:33:52,634 --> 00:33:55,454 their weapons, their assault launchers, and whatnot 951 00:33:55,835 --> 00:33:58,154 in neighborhoods where if we were to go 952 00:33:58,154 --> 00:34:00,095 after them, we might be killing 953 00:34:00,609 --> 00:34:01,909 hundreds, if not thousands, 954 00:34:02,210 --> 00:34:04,950 of the innocent people of Iran? 955 00:34:06,450 --> 00:34:08,369 Yeah. And this is this, again, this is 956 00:34:08,369 --> 00:34:10,369 why United States is such a unique country 957 00:34:10,369 --> 00:34:11,190 with our constitution. 958 00:34:11,489 --> 00:34:13,485 Everyone keeps asking, you know, why isn't the 959 00:34:13,485 --> 00:34:15,164 Iranian people rising up? They don't have the 960 00:34:15,164 --> 00:34:17,565 second amendment. Right? They aren't armed. They don't 961 00:34:17,565 --> 00:34:18,224 have weapons. 962 00:34:18,765 --> 00:34:21,005 It's not a thing that's built in where, 963 00:34:21,005 --> 00:34:22,845 you know, if this were to happen in 964 00:34:22,845 --> 00:34:25,005 The United States, guess what? There are millions, 965 00:34:25,005 --> 00:34:26,925 if not tens of millions of people that 966 00:34:26,925 --> 00:34:29,660 have firearms that could rise up. God forbid 967 00:34:29,660 --> 00:34:31,660 that should ever happen. It's that does not 968 00:34:31,660 --> 00:34:32,880 occur in Iran. The Iranians, 969 00:34:33,820 --> 00:34:35,420 on the ground, you know, more or less 970 00:34:35,420 --> 00:34:38,220 the the ethnic Persians, they were protesting, you 971 00:34:38,220 --> 00:34:39,739 know, in the beginning of the year, and 972 00:34:39,739 --> 00:34:42,140 between thirty and forty thousand of them were 973 00:34:42,140 --> 00:34:43,840 murdered, assassinated, and killed 974 00:34:44,214 --> 00:34:46,614 by the Ayatollah for doing so. So there 975 00:34:46,614 --> 00:34:47,275 is resistance 976 00:34:47,734 --> 00:34:48,855 from them to do it. There is no 977 00:34:48,855 --> 00:34:51,974 opposition leader. There is no opposition organization, which, 978 00:34:51,974 --> 00:34:54,054 again, like I alluded to, I suspect this 979 00:34:54,054 --> 00:34:54,554 CIA 980 00:34:54,855 --> 00:34:57,014 is on the ground trying to make that 981 00:34:57,014 --> 00:34:57,514 happen. 982 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,960 But this this is very difficult scenario, and 983 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,440 it is the fog of war, especially when, 984 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,360 again, my analogy with the bully. If you 985 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,519 kick a bully in the face and then 986 00:35:07,519 --> 00:35:09,599 he goes away, okay. Cool. Mission accomplished. But 987 00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:11,039 if he comes back, then you gotta kick 988 00:35:11,039 --> 00:35:12,320 him even harder, and you gotta go for 989 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,965 the nuts. And with regard to the protesters, 990 00:35:15,025 --> 00:35:17,445 guess what? They were kicked in the head 991 00:35:17,664 --> 00:35:20,224 by for the analogy purposes. Again, there was 992 00:35:20,224 --> 00:35:22,164 40,000 people that were murdered, unfortunately. 993 00:35:22,704 --> 00:35:25,265 And that sent a message of fear that 994 00:35:25,265 --> 00:35:26,625 no one else will try to do a 995 00:35:26,625 --> 00:35:28,829 protest or to try to do anything, even 996 00:35:28,829 --> 00:35:30,829 with The United States coming in here and 997 00:35:30,829 --> 00:35:32,769 blowing everything to kingdom come 998 00:35:33,389 --> 00:35:34,769 with, with specific 999 00:35:35,309 --> 00:35:37,469 missions and goals that, you know, the secretary 1000 00:35:37,469 --> 00:35:40,210 of war has has laid out. And, again, 1001 00:35:40,510 --> 00:35:41,889 this is a 1002 00:35:43,065 --> 00:35:44,125 it's a multifaceted 1003 00:35:45,144 --> 00:35:47,864 campaign because, again, what was the goal? Kill 1004 00:35:47,864 --> 00:35:48,605 the Ayatollah. 1005 00:35:49,704 --> 00:35:51,224 Kill a lot of the military. I mean, 1006 00:35:51,224 --> 00:35:53,464 they they basically sunk the Iranian navy, and 1007 00:35:53,464 --> 00:35:55,920 their military capabilities have been stunned, but they 1008 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,519 still have capabilities with the drones and the 1009 00:35:57,519 --> 00:36:00,000 asymmetrical warfare I talked about. But you still 1010 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,320 have to do other things. If there's regime 1011 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,099 change, guess what? You gotta kill thousands. 1012 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,559 If not tens of thousands, the IRGC. Again, 1013 00:36:06,559 --> 00:36:08,800 it's conquest. It's conquering. And that's what makes 1014 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:09,780 things so difficult 1015 00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:13,255 in in war today because unless you're going 1016 00:36:13,255 --> 00:36:13,994 to war 1017 00:36:14,454 --> 00:36:15,094 and there's 1018 00:36:15,494 --> 00:36:17,735 as Trump has asked for complete and utter 1019 00:36:17,735 --> 00:36:20,074 surrender, which isn't probably really likely, 1020 00:36:20,375 --> 00:36:21,894 you have to kill them. That's the only 1021 00:36:21,894 --> 00:36:23,835 way that you have total surrender. 1022 00:36:24,750 --> 00:36:25,969 And you conquer 1023 00:36:26,590 --> 00:36:29,150 by taking over the land. You're taking over 1024 00:36:29,150 --> 00:36:29,730 the resources, 1025 00:36:30,269 --> 00:36:31,570 and it's a long 1026 00:36:32,269 --> 00:36:33,869 drawn out thing that, guess what, you, me, 1027 00:36:33,869 --> 00:36:35,630 and probably most of the listeners and the 1028 00:36:35,630 --> 00:36:37,869 Americans just don't have the appetite for. But 1029 00:36:37,869 --> 00:36:39,170 we do have an appetite 1030 00:36:39,614 --> 00:36:40,355 for punishment 1031 00:36:41,135 --> 00:36:41,855 and for, 1032 00:36:42,894 --> 00:36:43,394 accountability 1033 00:36:43,775 --> 00:36:44,514 of actions, 1034 00:36:44,894 --> 00:36:47,215 and that is what, for most part, a 1035 00:36:47,215 --> 00:36:49,235 lot of this mission with Iran has been. 1036 00:36:49,375 --> 00:36:51,635 Kelly Ayatollah, kill his his lieutenants, 1037 00:36:52,014 --> 00:36:53,454 send a message to the rest of the 1038 00:36:53,454 --> 00:36:55,079 world, blow up infrastructure, 1039 00:36:55,460 --> 00:36:57,619 blow up and destroy the navy and the 1040 00:36:57,619 --> 00:37:00,280 nuclear capabilities, do not threaten The United States 1041 00:37:00,420 --> 00:37:02,359 anymore or any of its allies. 1042 00:37:02,739 --> 00:37:04,339 Do not do this anymore, or we will 1043 00:37:04,339 --> 00:37:05,539 come back and we will do it more. 1044 00:37:05,539 --> 00:37:07,460 And sometimes, you gotta punch a bully in 1045 00:37:07,460 --> 00:37:09,195 the face. Sometimes, you gotta kick him in 1046 00:37:09,195 --> 00:37:10,954 the nuts, and then sometimes, you gotta put 1047 00:37:10,954 --> 00:37:12,474 him in a choke hold until he's knocked 1048 00:37:12,474 --> 00:37:14,255 out, and that's probably where we're going. 1049 00:37:15,195 --> 00:37:15,695 Oh, 1050 00:37:16,555 --> 00:37:18,414 lord. I wouldn't wanna be them. 1051 00:37:19,675 --> 00:37:21,695 But at the same time, I I 1052 00:37:22,089 --> 00:37:25,289 am hopeful that the American people understand why 1053 00:37:25,289 --> 00:37:27,849 we're over there and how important it is 1054 00:37:27,849 --> 00:37:29,710 for us to remain there until 1055 00:37:30,170 --> 00:37:31,150 we dominate, 1056 00:37:31,609 --> 00:37:32,670 literally dominate, 1057 00:37:33,849 --> 00:37:34,349 Iran 1058 00:37:34,650 --> 00:37:36,109 and get rid of the IRGC. 1059 00:37:36,974 --> 00:37:39,855 Or, you know, Donald Trump gave them an 1060 00:37:39,855 --> 00:37:41,715 ultimatum, throw down your weapons, 1061 00:37:42,575 --> 00:37:43,635 you know, surrender, 1062 00:37:44,015 --> 00:37:46,255 and we won't kill you. But if you 1063 00:37:46,255 --> 00:37:48,755 don't, we will kill you. So 1064 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,719 I I'm also waiting for Israel. You know, 1065 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,680 when you're talking about Israel, Shin Bet, and, 1066 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:55,739 their forces, 1067 00:37:56,119 --> 00:37:58,780 you're talking about people that don't forget ever. 1068 00:37:59,160 --> 00:37:59,660 And, 1069 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,700 every single one of the IRGC members 1070 00:38:03,295 --> 00:38:05,695 has to know that, no matter where they 1071 00:38:05,695 --> 00:38:08,414 go, no matter where they hide, Israel will 1072 00:38:08,414 --> 00:38:09,151 find them. 1073 00:38:09,646 --> 00:38:10,143 If 1074 00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:13,295 Yeah.

That's what secretary of war 1078 00:38:18,699 --> 00:38:21,099 and Hegseth has said. And if there happens 1079 00:38:21,099 --> 00:38:23,420 to be coalition with someone like Israel, then 1080 00:38:23,420 --> 00:38:25,179 great. If there isn't, it doesn't matter.
