They don't wanna 217 00:07:41,290 --> 00:07:42,589 reveal what 218 00:07:42,970 --> 00:07:43,790 was in it. 219 00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,410 Do you think we'll ever get beyond it, 220 00:07:46,410 --> 00:07:49,230 and can we stop the Democrats from continuing 221 00:07:49,529 --> 00:07:50,910 to use it as a cudgel? 222 00:07:53,055 --> 00:07:55,295 Well, the sad part about this is, you 223 00:07:55,295 --> 00:07:57,375 know, the Epstein files basically took the place 224 00:07:57,375 --> 00:07:59,694 of the Russian hoax. Not necessarily saying that 225 00:07:59,694 --> 00:08:01,875 it's a hoax, but that it's a political 226 00:08:02,175 --> 00:08:02,675 distraction 227 00:08:03,455 --> 00:08:04,435 that encompasses 228 00:08:04,735 --> 00:08:06,675 so much energy, so much time 229 00:08:07,019 --> 00:08:07,759 that you're 230 00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:10,620 you're utterly wasting, and that, again, unfortunately falls 231 00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:12,060 back to the attorney general, Pam, on the 232 00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:13,500 way she's carried this out. You know, she 233 00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:15,019 said that there was a client list on 234 00:08:15,019 --> 00:08:15,680 her desk, 235 00:08:16,379 --> 00:08:17,360 on on 236 00:08:17,660 --> 00:08:20,300 live camera and live TV, and that wasn't 237 00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:20,879 the case, 238 00:08:21,259 --> 00:08:22,480 things like that. So, 239 00:08:22,915 --> 00:08:24,455 again, when you tie into 240 00:08:25,154 --> 00:08:27,154 your comment, you know, if there was anything 241 00:08:27,154 --> 00:08:29,074 significant why didn't the democrat they had democrats 242 00:08:29,074 --> 00:08:31,154 have full control of the house, senate, and 243 00:08:31,154 --> 00:08:31,654 presidency. 244 00:08:32,195 --> 00:08:34,035 Why didn't they do it? Why didn't they 245 00:08:34,035 --> 00:08:36,274 do it during the Obama administration when this 246 00:08:36,274 --> 00:08:38,540 happened? And, again, because DC 247 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,080 and the powers that are and this isn't 248 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,100 conspiracy theory. This is just the facts. 249 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,480 There are people that are associated with Epstein 250 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,040 that probably did no criminal wrongdoing but had 251 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,420 interactions with him 252 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,259 on one thing or another. 253 00:08:51,725 --> 00:08:53,264 And whatever reason, 254 00:08:53,805 --> 00:08:56,524 from a hesitation standpoint, from the Democrats, again, 255 00:08:56,524 --> 00:08:59,805 it's a political tool. It's political leverage to 256 00:08:59,805 --> 00:09:01,805 distract from the things of the day. Because 257 00:09:01,805 --> 00:09:02,945 if you're in the minority, 258 00:09:03,325 --> 00:09:05,165 you wanna do everything you can to slow 259 00:09:05,165 --> 00:09:06,625 the wheels of the majority. 260 00:09:07,059 --> 00:09:09,100 Distractions, political theater, you you know, you name 261 00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:10,740 it. All the things that we're seeing. So 262 00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:11,879 with regard to the 263 00:09:12,340 --> 00:09:14,600 Epstein files, again, you know, 264 00:09:14,980 --> 00:09:17,000 are there reasons for redactions? 265 00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:19,300 Absolutely. If there are individuals that are still 266 00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:22,904 alive that are minors that don't wanna be 267 00:09:22,964 --> 00:09:24,824 a part of this or under judicial 268 00:09:25,524 --> 00:09:27,444 seal, then that's one thing. But if there 269 00:09:27,444 --> 00:09:29,684 are other reasons that things are redacted that 270 00:09:29,684 --> 00:09:31,924 we don't know, that's that's kinda concerning. Now 271 00:09:31,924 --> 00:09:32,804 granted, we 272 00:09:33,490 --> 00:09:35,649 Trump passed and, I mean, Trump signed after 273 00:09:35,649 --> 00:09:38,290 congress passed all this stuff to be released, 274 00:09:38,290 --> 00:09:40,230 and they did release what they could legally 275 00:09:40,769 --> 00:09:42,610 do. A lot of the rest is under, 276 00:09:42,610 --> 00:09:43,110 unfortunately, 277 00:09:43,730 --> 00:09:45,809 judicial seal that they'd have to go to 278 00:09:45,809 --> 00:09:47,970 each of the individual judges and unseal this 279 00:09:47,970 --> 00:09:49,485 and make a make an appeal, and then 280 00:09:49,485 --> 00:09:51,004 the judge has to make a decision, etcetera, 281 00:09:51,004 --> 00:09:51,504 etcetera. 282 00:09:51,805 --> 00:09:54,065 But it's a really administratively 283 00:09:55,565 --> 00:09:56,625 daunting task, 284 00:09:57,004 --> 00:09:58,925 and they did. They released millions and millions 285 00:09:58,925 --> 00:10:00,384 of files. But in terms of 286 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,659 the mantra of a Epstein client list 287 00:10:04,039 --> 00:10:06,440 because, again, what was the initial accusation? That 288 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,659 Epstein was running a sex trafficking ring, 289 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,120 where he was getting underage girls that were 290 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,539 being trafficked to, quote, unquote, rich and powerful. 291 00:10:14,839 --> 00:10:15,339 And 292 00:10:16,125 --> 00:10:19,004 according to Kash Patel and according to former 293 00:10:19,004 --> 00:10:19,504 deputy, 294 00:10:20,125 --> 00:10:21,105 FBI director, 295 00:10:21,644 --> 00:10:23,804 Dan Bongino, they didn't find evidence of that. 296 00:10:23,804 --> 00:10:25,965 They just found evidence that Epstein is just 297 00:10:25,965 --> 00:10:28,465 a sick, twisted, perverted pedophile, 298 00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:31,959 on among other things, and it was just 299 00:10:31,959 --> 00:10:33,480 confined to him. And a lot of the 300 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,459 stuff, quote unquote, in the Epstein files was, 301 00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:37,579 you know, 302 00:10:37,959 --> 00:10:39,419 disgusting crap that he 303 00:10:39,959 --> 00:10:41,879 downloaded to his own computer that we would 304 00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:43,559 never wanna see in the public sphere. Now 305 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,904 that's up for debate. Right? Because most stuff 306 00:10:45,904 --> 00:10:47,345 we we all wanna see in the public 307 00:10:47,345 --> 00:10:49,284 sphere, but if you did release that, 308 00:10:50,065 --> 00:10:52,164 and what I'm talking about is child pornography, 309 00:10:52,304 --> 00:10:54,865 that kind of discussing stuff, do do we 310 00:10:54,865 --> 00:10:56,705 wanna see that? I I I mean, I 311 00:10:56,705 --> 00:10:58,384 don't know. That's the kind of decisions that 312 00:10:58,384 --> 00:11:00,725 I'm sure are being made behind the scenes, 313 00:11:01,129 --> 00:11:03,049 But in terms of the evidence and following 314 00:11:03,049 --> 00:11:05,210 the evidence and then the the last piece, 315 00:11:05,210 --> 00:11:07,129 not to draw on here, but the last 316 00:11:07,129 --> 00:11:08,590 piece is whether or not 317 00:11:09,049 --> 00:11:09,549 Epstein 318 00:11:09,929 --> 00:11:11,230 actually killed himself 319 00:11:11,610 --> 00:11:13,850 or if the environment was created so that 320 00:11:13,850 --> 00:11:14,830 he could be killed 321 00:11:15,134 --> 00:11:17,075 because there's so many sketchy things 322 00:11:17,535 --> 00:11:19,795 that call into question to follow-up 323 00:11:20,575 --> 00:11:23,875 around his death. Why was the prison guards, 324 00:11:24,095 --> 00:11:25,695 you know, asleep? Why were they shopping? Why 325 00:11:25,695 --> 00:11:27,535 are they not checking on the required timelines? 326 00:11:27,535 --> 00:11:29,295 Why was he given extra linens? You know, 327 00:11:29,295 --> 00:11:30,419 all that kind of stuff that could lead 328 00:11:30,419 --> 00:11:33,159 to conspiracy theories, but those leads should be 329 00:11:33,220 --> 00:11:34,039 followed through 330 00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:35,559 and have an unequivocal 331 00:11:36,019 --> 00:11:37,940 understanding of what that is even though those 332 00:11:37,940 --> 00:11:39,860 prison guards have been fired. You need more 333 00:11:39,860 --> 00:11:41,700 details. And, again, you keep pulling at the 334 00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:42,919 thread, but sometimes 335 00:11:43,295 --> 00:11:44,495 you pull out a thread and there's nothing 336 00:11:44,495 --> 00:11:46,335 there. And that's that's where things turn into 337 00:11:46,335 --> 00:11:46,835 conspiracies. 338 00:11:47,455 --> 00:11:48,355 Yeah. Yeah. 339 00:11:49,055 --> 00:11:51,455 Yeah. It is quite a conundrum. We we 340 00:11:51,455 --> 00:11:53,154 will probably never know. But, 341 00:11:54,894 --> 00:11:57,475 Brian, what do you make of our new 342 00:11:57,615 --> 00:11:58,115 governor, 343 00:11:58,889 --> 00:12:00,110 governor Mikey 344 00:12:00,730 --> 00:12:01,230 Sherrill, 345 00:12:01,769 --> 00:12:02,509 and what 346 00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:04,830 she has signed into law, 347 00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:07,070 since taking office? 348 00:12:07,930 --> 00:12:08,430 Yeah. 349 00:12:09,370 --> 00:12:11,050 Not I don't have a very odd opinion. 350 00:12:11,050 --> 00:12:13,544 Obviously, that shouldn't shock anyone. Notwithstanding 351 00:12:14,085 --> 00:12:15,605 what she campaigned and what she promised to 352 00:12:15,605 --> 00:12:17,125 do and what she's actually doing now that 353 00:12:17,125 --> 00:12:18,504 she's in the Governor's Mansion. 354 00:12:18,965 --> 00:12:19,625 And, obviously, 355 00:12:20,165 --> 00:12:22,004 she doesn't have a clue, and and there 356 00:12:22,004 --> 00:12:24,325 are things that will probably work to our 357 00:12:24,325 --> 00:12:26,424 benefit from a conservative standpoint 358 00:12:26,809 --> 00:12:28,649 from a lawsuit, and what making its way 359 00:12:28,649 --> 00:12:31,129 through the judicial process with regard to, some 360 00:12:31,129 --> 00:12:33,709 of these bills that she passed or signed 361 00:12:33,769 --> 00:12:35,470 or rather with regard to, 362 00:12:36,009 --> 00:12:39,230 illegal immigrants and etcetera. Now remember, the fundamental 363 00:12:39,289 --> 00:12:42,504 aspect here is that she believes in sanctuary 364 00:12:42,504 --> 00:12:45,485 city, sanctuary state policies, which by definition 365 00:12:46,345 --> 00:12:47,245 are Confederate 366 00:12:47,625 --> 00:12:50,024 practices. Right? You know, there were states during 367 00:12:50,024 --> 00:12:52,024 the civil war, prior to civil war, that 368 00:12:52,024 --> 00:12:53,164 refused to enact, 369 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,000 you know, 370 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,079 the freedom of slaves, etcetera, and and obviously 371 00:12:59,079 --> 00:13:01,399 the larger debate over, quote, unquote, property rights 372 00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,100 where slaves were considered. 373 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,000 And we did the entire war over it 374 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000 because there were states that refused to abide 375 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,634 by the federal government, etcetera. So this is 376 00:13:09,634 --> 00:13:11,115 the same thing when you have sanctuary state, 377 00:13:11,115 --> 00:13:11,615 sanctuary, 378 00:13:12,315 --> 00:13:13,215 city policies 379 00:13:13,754 --> 00:13:14,975 where you do not 380 00:13:15,674 --> 00:13:17,914 yield to the supremacy clause where you work 381 00:13:17,914 --> 00:13:20,235 with Department of Homeland Security and get illegal 382 00:13:20,235 --> 00:13:21,695 immigrants out of this country. 383 00:13:22,009 --> 00:13:23,610 I e, you're a Confederate state, which is 384 00:13:23,610 --> 00:13:25,129 what the state of New Jersey is under 385 00:13:25,129 --> 00:13:26,429 Mikey Sherrill on the Democrats. 386 00:13:26,809 --> 00:13:29,529 Now everything that she's passing, again, just shows 387 00:13:29,529 --> 00:13:32,589 what an absolute complete moron he is because 388 00:13:33,049 --> 00:13:36,089 she doesn't seem to understand fundamental economics. What 389 00:13:36,089 --> 00:13:39,115 is the number one problem or issue or 390 00:13:39,115 --> 00:13:41,695 challenge in the Garden State? It is 391 00:13:42,235 --> 00:13:42,735 affordability, 392 00:13:43,434 --> 00:13:46,154 taxes, and costs, all the above, financial and 393 00:13:46,154 --> 00:13:47,055 economic challenges. 394 00:13:47,434 --> 00:13:49,559 And yet they don't seem to realize that 395 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,799 literally for the last twenty five years, quarter 396 00:13:51,799 --> 00:13:53,820 of a century where the Democrats have been 397 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,039 in control with the exception of eight years 398 00:13:56,039 --> 00:13:56,700 of Christie 399 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,799 and no legislative control for Republicans in the 400 00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:02,475 last quarter century, that everything thing that's transpired 401 00:14:02,535 --> 00:14:04,294 is literally the result of policies of the 402 00:14:04,294 --> 00:14:06,315 Democrats that Mikey Sherrill champions. 403 00:14:06,855 --> 00:14:09,894 And why are taxes so high? Because there's 404 00:14:09,894 --> 00:14:11,495 out of control government spending. Why is it 405 00:14:11,495 --> 00:14:13,815 out of control government spending? Well, look at 406 00:14:13,815 --> 00:14:16,455 what you spend our ridiculous $60,000,000,000 407 00:14:16,455 --> 00:14:17,850 budget on. 8,000,000,000 408 00:14:17,850 --> 00:14:20,970 of it alone is for illegal aliens and 409 00:14:20,970 --> 00:14:23,370 individuals, noncitizens that do not belong in The 410 00:14:23,370 --> 00:14:24,809 United States, much less the state of New 411 00:14:24,809 --> 00:14:27,529 Jersey. And then you look at taxes and 412 00:14:27,529 --> 00:14:30,589 everything else. And I'm looking forward to when, 413 00:14:32,485 --> 00:14:35,044 Nick Shirley comes to New Jersey to look 414 00:14:35,044 --> 00:14:36,964 at the fraud that's going on here like 415 00:14:36,964 --> 00:14:39,125 you see in the Minnesota and California. So 416 00:14:39,125 --> 00:14:41,605 you have massive amounts of fraud that are 417 00:14:41,605 --> 00:14:43,204 likely going on in the state of New 418 00:14:43,204 --> 00:14:45,144 Jersey. And guess what? People 419 00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:48,559 have made decisions. Corporations, businesses. We talked a 420 00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:50,720 few weeks ago about Exxon leaving after nearly 421 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,720 a hundred and fifty years in the state 422 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,019 of New Jersey, leaving. 423 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:54,820 Businesses 424 00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:58,179 cannot thrive in an environment that is so 425 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,095 taxed, that is so regulated, 426 00:15:00,475 --> 00:15:01,774 that is so challenging 427 00:15:02,315 --> 00:15:04,735 that when you have 49 other options, 428 00:15:05,274 --> 00:15:06,014 you can 429 00:15:06,394 --> 00:15:08,315 let the market decide where your decisions are 430 00:15:08,315 --> 00:15:09,934 gonna make. So, unfortunately, 431 00:15:10,475 --> 00:15:12,815 here we are in April, three months into, 432 00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:14,399 Mikey Sheryl's, 433 00:15:14,940 --> 00:15:15,759 first term, 434 00:15:16,220 --> 00:15:18,460 and it's just more of the same. And 435 00:15:18,460 --> 00:15:20,460 if you wanted things to change, you should 436 00:15:20,460 --> 00:15:21,759 have made a different decision, 437 00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:23,840 election day. Look. 438 00:15:25,194 --> 00:15:27,834 Elections have consequences, and voters get what they 439 00:15:27,834 --> 00:15:30,315 voted for good and hard. And then that's 440 00:15:30,634 --> 00:15:32,714 that is under the umbrella of whether or 441 00:15:32,714 --> 00:15:34,414 not you come out to vote at all 442 00:15:34,714 --> 00:15:36,095 or whether or not you 443 00:15:36,714 --> 00:15:39,034 encourage others to vote, etcetera, or you stay 444 00:15:39,034 --> 00:15:40,960 home, whatever that may be. Right? I mean, 445 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:41,940 voter participation 446 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:42,980 was, again, 447 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,559 from the Republican side, was abysmal relatives of 448 00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:48,100 the Democrats. Democrats were 449 00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:50,480 were ready to go, and and this is 450 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,220 what we're 451 00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:54,615 unfortunately suffering. So, again, the biggest thing that 452 00:15:54,615 --> 00:15:56,054 I'm focused on is the fact that she 453 00:15:56,054 --> 00:15:57,034 signed these bills, 454 00:15:57,495 --> 00:16:00,054 into law with regard to legal immigration, sanctuary 455 00:16:00,054 --> 00:16:00,794 state policies, 456 00:16:01,174 --> 00:16:03,894 sanctuary city policies, and working with ICE and 457 00:16:03,894 --> 00:16:04,394 DHS, 458 00:16:04,695 --> 00:16:05,995 which again are now, 459 00:16:06,375 --> 00:16:08,554 warrant for lawsuits, which again, 460 00:16:08,879 --> 00:16:10,639 not to give him credit, but governor Murphy 461 00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:12,980 was actually smart enough to pocket veto those 462 00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:14,179 because of, 463 00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:16,580 you know, the the the trust initiative 464 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,960 from an executive order standpoint, not to try 465 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,740 to put it through legislative channels. 466 00:16:21,134 --> 00:16:23,455 And now it's open for for lawsuits, which 467 00:16:23,455 --> 00:16:25,134 will probably make its way through the courts. 468 00:16:25,134 --> 00:16:25,795 And, eventually, 469 00:16:26,495 --> 00:16:27,855 it'll prove that it's, 470 00:16:28,495 --> 00:16:29,634 that's unconstitutional 471 00:16:30,014 --> 00:16:32,014 what she has done, but, unfortunately, we have 472 00:16:32,014 --> 00:16:33,634 to deal with the crap in the meantime. 473 00:16:34,330 --> 00:16:36,330 How long do you think it'll take?

The ridiculous spending on welfare 509 00:17:44,595 --> 00:17:46,995 programs without auditing and making sure that these 510 00:17:46,995 --> 00:17:47,735 are individuals 511 00:17:48,275 --> 00:17:50,195 that should be on it, that we we 512 00:17:50,195 --> 00:17:53,235 do wanna help are are most challenged in 513 00:17:53,235 --> 00:17:54,900 the state of New Jersey.

All these inputs 517 00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:04,279 that have a direct effect 518 00:18:04,660 --> 00:18:05,160 on 519 00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:07,000 the state of New Jersey and cost. 520 00:18:07,380 --> 00:18:09,744 Donald Trump has nothing to do with the 521 00:18:09,744 --> 00:18:11,365 fact with regard to, 522 00:18:11,904 --> 00:18:14,944 energy prices in particular.

He has nothing 525 00:18:18,625 --> 00:18:20,065 on the fact that guess what? New Jersey 526 00:18:20,065 --> 00:18:21,900 is the only state where you don't pump 527 00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:23,820 your own gas. Guess what? You have a 528 00:18:23,820 --> 00:18:25,580 labor cost that is baked into the cost 529 00:18:25,580 --> 00:18:26,400 of a gallon 530 00:18:26,779 --> 00:18:27,279 of, 531 00:18:27,740 --> 00:18:29,900 of gas that you purchased. You're paying for 532 00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:31,820 that labor for someone to spend the four 533 00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:33,580 minutes to pump your gas, where the other 534 00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:36,125 49 states do not have that. Imagine if 535 00:18:36,125 --> 00:18:37,664 that wasn't the case.

And if they could do so with 598 00:21:03,134 --> 00:21:05,154 a nuclear weapon, they would do so, 599 00:21:05,934 --> 00:21:08,035 among other things. But the fact that we 600 00:21:08,414 --> 00:21:09,234 we achieved 601 00:21:09,535 --> 00:21:12,015 objectives of alright. We took out Forto and 602 00:21:12,015 --> 00:21:13,474 the other nuclear facilities, 603 00:21:14,450 --> 00:21:16,309 from that standpoint so that it could 604 00:21:16,849 --> 00:21:19,490 do an actual nuclear weapon that's separate from, 605 00:21:19,490 --> 00:21:21,269 you know, ICBMs and their continental, 606 00:21:21,730 --> 00:21:23,970 ballistic missiles that could also be armed with 607 00:21:23,970 --> 00:21:26,609 enriched uranium. Because, again, if you already went 608 00:21:26,609 --> 00:21:28,609 after the production and the facilities where this 609 00:21:28,609 --> 00:21:29,750 has already been completed, 610 00:21:30,265 --> 00:21:31,944 okay. Cool. That's what we did last June. 611 00:21:31,944 --> 00:21:33,865 And then there's the fact that why would 612 00:21:33,865 --> 00:21:36,285 you enrich uranium past 20%? 613 00:21:36,505 --> 00:21:38,585 Because the only reason to enrich uranium past 614 00:21:38,585 --> 00:21:39,404 20% 615 00:21:39,544 --> 00:21:42,984 is for nuclear reasons. Nothing else. Everyone else 616 00:21:42,984 --> 00:21:45,244 has can utilize uranium for, 617 00:21:45,950 --> 00:21:48,990 you know, public or, you know, generic purposes 618 00:21:48,990 --> 00:21:50,750 of energy. But anything past that, again, you're 619 00:21:50,750 --> 00:21:52,369 getting to the point of nuclear weapons. 620 00:21:52,670 --> 00:21:53,170 So, 621 00:21:53,710 --> 00:21:55,869 the objectives were to okay. We gotta get 622 00:21:55,869 --> 00:21:59,070 rid of any kind of capability where uranium 623 00:21:59,070 --> 00:22:00,049 can be enriched 624 00:22:00,365 --> 00:22:02,445 and where this could be used on any 625 00:22:02,445 --> 00:22:05,404 other kind of missile payload, I in this 626 00:22:05,404 --> 00:22:06,305 case, ICBMs, 627 00:22:06,765 --> 00:22:08,945 as well as, okay. Well, we're gonna decimate 628 00:22:09,005 --> 00:22:11,644 the Iranian navy ship. I I think they 629 00:22:11,805 --> 00:22:14,125 I think the last count was a 167 630 00:22:14,125 --> 00:22:15,565 ships were sunk to the bottom of the 631 00:22:15,565 --> 00:22:17,750 ocean. The air force has been decimated, the 632 00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:18,730 infrastructure, etcetera. 633 00:22:19,349 --> 00:22:21,990 And, again, what are the overarching mission objectives? 634 00:22:21,990 --> 00:22:22,809 Is it punishment? 635 00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:24,089 Is it retribution? 636 00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:26,630 Is it regime change? Is it all the 637 00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:27,130 above? 638 00:22:28,390 --> 00:22:30,169 Is it so that that neighbor, 639 00:22:30,995 --> 00:22:33,634 Iran, in that neighborhood of the Middle East 640 00:22:33,634 --> 00:22:35,095 stops doing what they're doing? 641 00:22:36,035 --> 00:22:38,914 Changes their behavior so they don't continue to 642 00:22:38,914 --> 00:22:40,855 do what they're doing, and as well as, 643 00:22:41,315 --> 00:22:44,134 accountability if they did kill 40,000 644 00:22:44,529 --> 00:22:46,769 private citizens. So that that's a long winded 645 00:22:46,769 --> 00:22:48,450 way of saying that in terms of the 646 00:22:48,450 --> 00:22:50,849 weapons and and where this is going, again, 647 00:22:50,849 --> 00:22:53,009 when we first spoke about this in that 648 00:22:53,009 --> 00:22:55,410 first week, I told you that likely that 649 00:22:55,410 --> 00:22:57,349 this would be a weeks, months endeavor, 650 00:22:58,174 --> 00:23:00,575 because this is never simple. This is never 651 00:23:00,575 --> 00:23:02,255 easy, especially in The Middle East, 652 00:23:03,934 --> 00:23:06,575 among other, you know, challenges that are that 653 00:23:06,575 --> 00:23:08,974 are on the ground. So, again, there are 654 00:23:08,974 --> 00:23:11,490 mission objectives that have been completed. There's no 655 00:23:11,490 --> 00:23:13,490 doubt that there's been mission creep with regard 656 00:23:13,490 --> 00:23:16,049 to new information that was learned along the 657 00:23:16,049 --> 00:23:17,589 way, new intelligence, etcetera. 658 00:23:18,049 --> 00:23:18,710 But, again, 659 00:23:19,809 --> 00:23:22,049 the short term impacts that everyone is feeling 660 00:23:22,049 --> 00:23:23,910 that they're more focused on is 661 00:23:24,375 --> 00:23:26,134 energy at the pump. Right? What you're paying 662 00:23:26,134 --> 00:23:27,815 in gas. And, again, this stems back to 663 00:23:27,815 --> 00:23:30,055 the fact that it takes forty five days 664 00:23:30,055 --> 00:23:30,555 to 665 00:23:31,015 --> 00:23:32,695 refine a barrel of oil, and it's not 666 00:23:32,695 --> 00:23:35,974 necessarily that we have any favor for the 667 00:23:35,974 --> 00:23:37,654 oil that comes out of OPEC because we 668 00:23:37,654 --> 00:23:39,799 do our own here, in United States, and 669 00:23:39,799 --> 00:23:41,019 we are pumping more. 670 00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:44,380 But the cost of transporting it, if diesel, 671 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,579 which is trucks, 672 00:23:46,279 --> 00:23:47,980 diesel transportation energy, 673 00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:51,160 has an impact because of the supply in 674 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,000 the global market, then, yeah, you're going to 675 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,734 feel that, and that's being passed on. And 676 00:23:54,815 --> 00:23:57,295 Then in some states, there is more cost 677 00:23:57,295 --> 00:23:59,535 per gallon because there's a higher tax. Obviously, 678 00:23:59,535 --> 00:24:01,134 if you go into Pennsylvania, they have a 679 00:24:01,134 --> 00:24:02,894 higher tax per gallon than New Jersey does. 680 00:24:02,894 --> 00:24:04,835 New Jersey still has significant tax, 681 00:24:05,295 --> 00:24:07,855 obviously, on a gallon of gas. So and 682 00:24:07,855 --> 00:24:08,755 then the other 683 00:24:09,539 --> 00:24:11,860 thing that you see, obviously that I think 684 00:24:11,860 --> 00:24:14,820 American people do not support is another forever 685 00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:16,039 war or ground troops 686 00:24:16,820 --> 00:24:18,820 on the ground, and that comes into Card 687 00:24:18,820 --> 00:24:20,680 Island on whether or not you would 688 00:24:21,625 --> 00:24:23,144 want to take that or if president Trump 689 00:24:23,144 --> 00:24:23,644 sees 690 00:24:24,025 --> 00:24:26,025 a leverage point with regard to that. Now, 691 00:24:26,025 --> 00:24:28,345 again, you heard me say this. Anyone can 692 00:24:28,345 --> 00:24:30,424 look this video up or multiple videos. Donald 693 00:24:30,424 --> 00:24:32,765 Trump is nothing if not consistent. He said 694 00:24:33,224 --> 00:24:34,845 repeatedly since the eighties 695 00:24:35,269 --> 00:24:37,269 about Iran that they need to be, 696 00:24:40,230 --> 00:24:42,470 readjusted in their world view. Let's put it 697 00:24:42,470 --> 00:24:44,710 that way. As well as if we are 698 00:24:44,710 --> 00:24:46,549 going to do anything, we are going to 699 00:24:46,549 --> 00:24:47,529 take their oil, 700 00:24:47,855 --> 00:24:49,295 and that was his point with Iraq. We 701 00:24:49,295 --> 00:24:51,295 went into Iraq, and we did all these 702 00:24:51,295 --> 00:24:52,674 attempts for nation building, 703 00:24:53,214 --> 00:24:55,295 but we didn't do anything or take anything 704 00:24:55,295 --> 00:24:57,295 in exchange, and we expended all this blood 705 00:24:57,295 --> 00:24:58,894 and treasure, and we even take their oil 706 00:24:58,894 --> 00:25:01,169 from his perspective. Now you were also heard 707 00:25:01,169 --> 00:25:03,349 me say that in the twenty first century, 708 00:25:03,970 --> 00:25:05,730 one of the big problems that we have 709 00:25:05,730 --> 00:25:07,890 is when you go to war, there isn't 710 00:25:07,890 --> 00:25:10,609 conquest anymore even though, for instance, Russia is 711 00:25:10,609 --> 00:25:12,130 trying to do that with Ukraine by taking 712 00:25:12,130 --> 00:25:14,849 land. When, unfortunately, United States has gone into, 713 00:25:16,164 --> 00:25:18,805 war scenarios, whether it's Vietnam, whether it's Korea, 714 00:25:18,805 --> 00:25:20,644 whether it's Gulf Wars, whether it's Iraq, whether 715 00:25:20,644 --> 00:25:22,184 it's Afghanistan, now Iran, 716 00:25:23,125 --> 00:25:25,465 there wasn't a conquest in terms 717 00:25:26,404 --> 00:25:28,265 of geographical land grab 718 00:25:29,380 --> 00:25:31,380 or anything else. It was more of a 719 00:25:31,380 --> 00:25:31,880 behavioral 720 00:25:32,579 --> 00:25:33,720 change or retribution 721 00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:36,740 because of past behavior. And that's where it 722 00:25:36,740 --> 00:25:39,940 gets complicated because what we've unfortunately seen is 723 00:25:39,940 --> 00:25:41,859 the enemy will wait us out. We'll wait 724 00:25:41,859 --> 00:25:44,279 The US out because people will eventually turn. 725 00:25:44,625 --> 00:25:47,904 Politics will change, elected officials will change, different 726 00:25:47,904 --> 00:25:49,765 decisions will be made, etcetera, etcetera. 727 00:25:50,065 --> 00:25:52,805 So that's where things get into potential quagmire 728 00:25:52,945 --> 00:25:55,025 territory. And, again, I'm not a fan of 729 00:25:55,025 --> 00:25:57,359 troops on the ground. I am a fan 730 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,039 of making sure that we understand what the 731 00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:01,440 mission is and that we have a beginning, 732 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,759 middle, and end of what that is, and 733 00:26:03,759 --> 00:26:05,839 that we take we we do what we 734 00:26:05,839 --> 00:26:07,200 need to, and we go home, and we 735 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,480 focus on domestic issues. But national security is 736 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,894 a huge aspect of that, and there's probably 737 00:26:13,954 --> 00:26:15,894 still a whole lot of information 738 00:26:16,355 --> 00:26:18,034 that has not been shared, which is why 739 00:26:18,034 --> 00:26:19,954 the president has made the decisions that he 740 00:26:19,954 --> 00:26:22,375 has made and why he made them quickly 741 00:26:22,595 --> 00:26:25,335 to deal with Iran now rather than later. 742 00:26:26,309 --> 00:26:28,089 What role do you see 743 00:26:28,869 --> 00:26:29,690 with NATO? 744 00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:34,549 President Trump is obviously very disappointed in some 745 00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:35,289 of the countries, 746 00:26:35,990 --> 00:26:36,890 that are in NATO. 747 00:26:37,365 --> 00:26:38,724 But what do you think is going to 748 00:26:38,724 --> 00:26:39,224 happen 749 00:26:39,684 --> 00:26:41,944 once the war is over? 750 00:26:43,285 --> 00:26:44,984 Iran has been forced 751 00:26:45,285 --> 00:26:45,785 to, 752 00:26:46,804 --> 00:26:47,545 give up 753 00:26:48,164 --> 00:26:49,224 their nuclear 754 00:26:51,250 --> 00:26:51,750 dreams? 755 00:26:52,049 --> 00:26:52,289 And, 756 00:26:53,650 --> 00:26:55,190 what do you think is going to happen 757 00:26:55,250 --> 00:26:57,029 with these countries that resisted 758 00:26:57,490 --> 00:26:59,589 helping The United States Of America, 759 00:27:00,450 --> 00:27:01,430 in this war? 760 00:27:01,890 --> 00:27:03,970 Yeah. So, obviously, Trump has indicated, you know, 761 00:27:03,970 --> 00:27:05,775 we will remember. In the next three years, 762 00:27:05,775 --> 00:27:06,835 Trump is still president. 763 00:27:07,215 --> 00:27:09,455 And it could very well be that we 764 00:27:09,455 --> 00:27:10,115 end this 765 00:27:10,494 --> 00:27:11,154 this war 766 00:27:11,455 --> 00:27:11,955 without, 767 00:27:12,734 --> 00:27:15,934 completing some mission objectives like, okay. If we 768 00:27:15,934 --> 00:27:18,255 go to war with Iran, are there a 769 00:27:18,255 --> 00:27:20,734 likelihood that the Strait Of Hormuz gets impacted, 770 00:27:20,734 --> 00:27:22,970 which game theory this out, this is exactly 771 00:27:22,970 --> 00:27:25,049 what happened. And do we not leave until 772 00:27:25,049 --> 00:27:25,549 we, 773 00:27:26,089 --> 00:27:27,690 secure that that's open up for from a 774 00:27:27,690 --> 00:27:30,169 global trade standpoint, global logistics standpoint, or do 775 00:27:30,169 --> 00:27:32,409 we just say, you know what? We we 776 00:27:32,409 --> 00:27:33,690 did what we needed to. We took out 777 00:27:33,690 --> 00:27:35,049 the Ayatollah. We took out a lot of 778 00:27:35,049 --> 00:27:36,835 the members of the regime. We showed our 779 00:27:36,835 --> 00:27:38,994 military might. We took out their air force. 780 00:27:38,994 --> 00:27:40,194 We took out their navy. We took out 781 00:27:40,194 --> 00:27:40,934 their infrastructure. 782 00:27:42,115 --> 00:27:43,554 And, you know what, we're just gonna pick 783 00:27:43,554 --> 00:27:44,914 up our ball and go. And guess what, 784 00:27:44,914 --> 00:27:46,595 Europe? This is your problem because you did 785 00:27:46,595 --> 00:27:48,835 not help us, in the forefront. Trump could 786 00:27:48,835 --> 00:27:51,089 take that position, and that can be debated 787 00:27:51,089 --> 00:27:52,369 on whether or not that's the right thing 788 00:27:52,369 --> 00:27:54,309 to do or not. But, again, 789 00:27:54,690 --> 00:27:57,410 The United States has been the and this 790 00:27:57,410 --> 00:27:59,109 is what ticks me off more than anything. 791 00:27:59,170 --> 00:28:01,890 The United States and by default, the American 792 00:28:01,890 --> 00:28:02,390 taxpayer 793 00:28:02,769 --> 00:28:05,269 has been able to fund the lifestyle 794 00:28:06,105 --> 00:28:09,404 and the culture of Europe for the last 795 00:28:10,184 --> 00:28:13,464 almost hundred years and has enabled them to 796 00:28:13,464 --> 00:28:14,605 enact socialist 797 00:28:14,904 --> 00:28:18,345 policies because they do not spend enough on 798 00:28:18,345 --> 00:28:21,150 their own national security and defense. They have 799 00:28:21,150 --> 00:28:24,130 too many of these ridiculous government programs 800 00:28:24,670 --> 00:28:25,410 and socialism 801 00:28:25,789 --> 00:28:26,930 as a government, 802 00:28:27,630 --> 00:28:30,430 you know, organizational process and culture that they've 803 00:28:30,430 --> 00:28:32,350 been taking advantage of The United States, and 804 00:28:32,350 --> 00:28:34,670 that's Trump's point too. It ticks me off 805 00:28:34,670 --> 00:28:36,130 that if they have an issue, 806 00:28:36,644 --> 00:28:38,404 they should be the ones leading and driving 807 00:28:38,404 --> 00:28:40,105 this. And if they're if NATO 808 00:28:40,805 --> 00:28:41,785 from that standpoint 809 00:28:42,164 --> 00:28:44,105 remember, it's North Atlantic Treaty Organization 810 00:28:44,404 --> 00:28:47,125 meant as a coalition so that World War 811 00:28:47,125 --> 00:28:49,845 two type stuff doesn't ever happen again. And, 812 00:28:49,845 --> 00:28:51,785 again, until Trump came along, 813 00:28:52,109 --> 00:28:54,750 only Greece and Poland were the ones that 814 00:28:54,750 --> 00:28:57,069 were meeting their 2% commitment. And then Trump 815 00:28:57,069 --> 00:28:59,309 got everybody to revvy up that in the 816 00:28:59,309 --> 00:29:00,750 first term, and he's now doing it again 817 00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:02,190 more in the second term. That's gotta be 818 00:29:02,190 --> 00:29:04,575 more than 2%. It's gotta be 5% of 819 00:29:04,575 --> 00:29:07,134 GDP of of contributions to NATO. We shouldn't 820 00:29:07,134 --> 00:29:09,134 be funding it wholly, and we shouldn't be 821 00:29:09,134 --> 00:29:11,234 the ones that put boots on the ground 822 00:29:11,375 --> 00:29:13,075 all the time to solve issues 823 00:29:13,534 --> 00:29:16,174 that Europe should be dealing with. Again, we 824 00:29:16,174 --> 00:29:18,255 are an ocean away. We have our own 825 00:29:18,255 --> 00:29:19,859 challenges here in The United States that we 826 00:29:19,859 --> 00:29:21,940 wanna deal with, but we also don't wanna 827 00:29:21,940 --> 00:29:23,940 have a situation with a Stalin and or 828 00:29:23,940 --> 00:29:26,519 a Adolf Hitler where we let it fester. 829 00:29:26,660 --> 00:29:28,339 And while it's small, we don't take it 830 00:29:28,339 --> 00:29:29,779 out and kill it, and it grows bigger 831 00:29:29,779 --> 00:29:32,180 and bigger that it becomes our problem from 832 00:29:32,180 --> 00:29:34,835 a global standpoint. Again, I get that, but 833 00:29:34,835 --> 00:29:37,174 Europe needs to take a bigger initiative, 834 00:29:37,555 --> 00:29:39,474 spend more of their own damn money as 835 00:29:39,474 --> 00:29:41,795 opposed to the American taxpayer on things with 836 00:29:41,795 --> 00:29:44,994 national security and defense. And, again, Trump will 837 00:29:44,994 --> 00:29:47,255 enact this. He'll remember Spain. 838 00:29:47,555 --> 00:29:49,734 Good luck, Spain, because your trade 839 00:29:50,170 --> 00:29:52,349 is going to be severely impacted 840 00:29:52,650 --> 00:29:54,250 with regards to The United States or anyone 841 00:29:54,250 --> 00:29:56,490 else who does trade with Spain because of 842 00:29:56,490 --> 00:29:59,609 not allowing NATO air force bases and airspace 843 00:29:59,609 --> 00:30:00,509 to be utilized 844 00:30:00,890 --> 00:30:04,105 with this, situation with Iran. So there will 845 00:30:04,105 --> 00:30:06,585 be accountability that at least in the short 846 00:30:06,585 --> 00:30:08,904 term, meaning three years during Trump's presidency, that 847 00:30:08,904 --> 00:30:10,605 he will put the screws to the countries 848 00:30:10,904 --> 00:30:12,984 that when he asked them for assistance, much 849 00:30:12,984 --> 00:30:15,484 like they always ask United States for assistance 850 00:30:15,785 --> 00:30:17,804 to deal with things, I e Ukraine, 851 00:30:18,630 --> 00:30:20,809 Russian war, and everything else in between. 852 00:30:21,190 --> 00:30:23,589 Again, Trump's going to remember that, and he's 853 00:30:23,589 --> 00:30:26,710 gonna respond in kindly. And truthfully, I'm I'm 854 00:30:26,710 --> 00:30:29,190 a 100% on board with whatever he determines 855 00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:31,690 with regard to that because I'm fed up 856 00:30:32,204 --> 00:30:34,684 supporting all this crap in Europe that doesn't 857 00:30:34,684 --> 00:30:35,984 give us a benefit 858 00:30:36,444 --> 00:30:37,005 in a, 859 00:30:37,565 --> 00:30:39,884 in a, you know, cost benefit analysis that 860 00:30:39,884 --> 00:30:42,365 favors United States. Well, it seems to me 861 00:30:42,365 --> 00:30:45,884 that almost every nation in NATO, other than 862 00:30:45,884 --> 00:30:47,265 for Poland and Hungary, 863 00:30:48,630 --> 00:30:49,130 they 864 00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:52,650 have accepted so many immigrants into their countries 865 00:30:52,789 --> 00:30:55,930 that they are literally starving their own population 866 00:30:56,150 --> 00:30:57,930 in order to give illegals 867 00:30:58,470 --> 00:31:00,789 that they've allowed in. I guess now they're 868 00:31:00,789 --> 00:31:03,784 legal immigrants in these in these NATO countries. 869 00:31:04,565 --> 00:31:06,565 They've they've allowed so much money to go 870 00:31:06,565 --> 00:31:08,484 to them that they they don't have money 871 00:31:08,484 --> 00:31:09,625 for their own citizens. 872 00:31:10,085 --> 00:31:11,865 What do you think is going to happen 873 00:31:12,244 --> 00:31:13,684 with that? And how do you think it's 874 00:31:13,684 --> 00:31:16,005 going to affect NATO and its, 875 00:31:16,404 --> 00:31:17,144 our relationship 876 00:31:17,444 --> 00:31:18,184 with NATO? 877 00:31:18,940 --> 00:31:21,740 Yeah. So usually, again, this is no different 878 00:31:21,740 --> 00:31:23,500 than anything we've seen throughout history. This is 879 00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:25,259 nothing new. You know, you got the Soviet 880 00:31:25,259 --> 00:31:27,100 Union when they collapsed, when they just couldn't 881 00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:27,600 sustain, 882 00:31:28,220 --> 00:31:30,380 the spending and everything they were doing. Same 883 00:31:30,380 --> 00:31:32,444 thing in a a small business if it 884 00:31:32,444 --> 00:31:35,565 collapses when you overextend yourself or even personal 885 00:31:35,565 --> 00:31:38,365 bankruptcies when you overextend yourself. Eventually, there's something 886 00:31:38,365 --> 00:31:39,505 that's going to snap 887 00:31:39,884 --> 00:31:41,585 where it cannot continue, 888 00:31:41,884 --> 00:31:43,805 and you have to do something to fix 889 00:31:43,805 --> 00:31:45,929 that in the short term. And guess what? 890 00:31:45,929 --> 00:31:46,909 Europe doesn't seem, 891 00:31:47,289 --> 00:31:49,289 smart enough or motivated enough to do that. 892 00:31:49,289 --> 00:31:51,049 At least we have those debates here in 893 00:31:51,049 --> 00:31:53,230 United States where we're now revealing all this 894 00:31:53,289 --> 00:31:54,349 absolute fraud, 895 00:31:56,009 --> 00:31:58,250 perpetrated on the American taxpayer and the American 896 00:31:58,250 --> 00:31:59,630 citizens by noncitizens 897 00:32:00,375 --> 00:32:01,914 and by illegal immigrants, 898 00:32:02,934 --> 00:32:05,195 that have just taken advantage of every aspect 899 00:32:05,255 --> 00:32:07,494 of being within The United States borders that 900 00:32:07,494 --> 00:32:08,474 we need to change. 901 00:32:09,815 --> 00:32:11,815 Again, there's going to be a breaking point. 902 00:32:11,815 --> 00:32:13,195 You cannot continue this. 903 00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:15,740 You know, again, my my funny, 904 00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:18,599 comment with regard to our national debt that's 905 00:32:18,599 --> 00:32:20,519 unfortunately now approaching $40,000,000,000,000 906 00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:21,019 is, 907 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,159 why don't we just get rid of Hawaii, 908 00:32:23,159 --> 00:32:24,599 sell that for $20,000,000,000,000 909 00:32:24,599 --> 00:32:27,019 to Japan, amortize it over a hundred years, 910 00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:28,875 and get rid of it, pay off half 911 00:32:28,875 --> 00:32:30,494 our debt, and then deal with China, 912 00:32:31,115 --> 00:32:33,275 another avenue with regard to, 913 00:32:33,674 --> 00:32:36,335 other other territories that we may have because, 914 00:32:36,394 --> 00:32:39,275 obviously, you know, we had purposes and reasons 915 00:32:39,275 --> 00:32:41,134 for certain things, and you can change that. 916 00:32:42,730 --> 00:32:45,529 But, ultimately, there is a breaking point where 917 00:32:45,529 --> 00:32:48,109 you cannot continue the behavior that you're doing, 918 00:32:48,329 --> 00:32:49,710 and it either collapses 919 00:32:50,089 --> 00:32:52,329 or you fix it and adjust it, and 920 00:32:52,329 --> 00:32:54,250 you figure out how to move forward. And, 921 00:32:54,250 --> 00:32:57,049 again, Trump has mastered that with regard to 922 00:32:57,049 --> 00:32:57,950 his own businesses. 923 00:32:58,294 --> 00:33:00,775 He was never ever personally in bankruptcy, but 924 00:33:00,775 --> 00:33:03,194 he used the bankruptcy laws to his benefit 925 00:33:03,494 --> 00:33:04,474 for his businesses, 926 00:33:05,255 --> 00:33:06,075 to reorganize, 927 00:33:06,694 --> 00:33:07,194 to, 928 00:33:07,575 --> 00:33:09,575 basically write off debt, etcetera, all those kind 929 00:33:09,575 --> 00:33:11,654 of stuff. That is completely legal under United 930 00:33:11,654 --> 00:33:13,700 States laws. The same can be said with 931 00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:15,240 regard to any kind of restructuring. 932 00:33:15,700 --> 00:33:18,820 And, again, they're our biggest debtors are Japan 933 00:33:18,820 --> 00:33:19,880 and China, unfortunately. 934 00:33:20,340 --> 00:33:21,859 Now if what if we go and say, 935 00:33:21,859 --> 00:33:23,460 China, guess what? You know? We're not gonna 936 00:33:23,460 --> 00:33:25,460 pay all this debt back. Will they go 937 00:33:25,460 --> 00:33:27,674 to war with us over that, or will 938 00:33:27,674 --> 00:33:30,875 that be another escalatory thing? Japan, same thing. 939 00:33:30,875 --> 00:33:32,494 They're just not gonna pay debt. 940 00:33:33,434 --> 00:33:34,794 You know, a lot of things can happen 941 00:33:34,794 --> 00:33:36,954 with regard to those avenues. But with with 942 00:33:36,954 --> 00:33:39,034 Europe, there's gonna be a breaking point, and 943 00:33:39,034 --> 00:33:41,595 they're going to collapse because they've allowed this 944 00:33:41,595 --> 00:33:42,095 infiltration 945 00:33:42,829 --> 00:33:44,210 of all these illegal aliens 946 00:33:44,670 --> 00:33:45,809 in their countries. 947 00:33:46,670 --> 00:33:49,630 That's actually 10 times worse than what we're 948 00:33:49,630 --> 00:33:51,549 dealing with here in The US, which is 949 00:33:51,549 --> 00:33:53,390 which is scary to even think about in 950 00:33:53,390 --> 00:33:55,309 terms of the impact, but not in terms 951 00:33:55,309 --> 00:33:55,950 of the, 952 00:33:56,430 --> 00:33:59,154 the real numbers. Yeah. Well, we do. We 953 00:33:59,154 --> 00:34:01,234 we we have to be afraid of, our 954 00:34:01,234 --> 00:34:03,394 own state. We have to be afraid of 955 00:34:03,394 --> 00:34:06,134 other blue states that are allowing these 956 00:34:06,514 --> 00:34:07,014 illegal 957 00:34:07,554 --> 00:34:08,855 immigrants to impact 958 00:34:09,234 --> 00:34:11,554 not just the crimes that are being committed, 959 00:34:11,554 --> 00:34:14,460 but the amount of money that the American 960 00:34:14,460 --> 00:34:17,179 taxpayer has to spend to keep these people 961 00:34:17,179 --> 00:34:19,360 here, to keep them alive, to keep them 962 00:34:19,660 --> 00:34:21,900 housed and clothed and sheltered in all the 963 00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:23,280 ways that they wanna be. 964 00:34:23,820 --> 00:34:25,900 And and I don't know how he's going 965 00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:26,800 to end that. 966 00:34:28,304 --> 00:34:30,065 Yeah. Look. Again, you I sound like broken 967 00:34:30,065 --> 00:34:31,425 record when I say this. Bring us down 968 00:34:31,425 --> 00:34:32,864 to the smallest level in the state of 969 00:34:32,864 --> 00:34:35,445 New Jersey. Right? You wanna know why housing 970 00:34:35,585 --> 00:34:37,264 prices are so high? There's too much demand 971 00:34:37,264 --> 00:34:39,605 because guess what? There's too many illegal aliens 972 00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:41,425 in the state of New Jersey, probably a 973 00:34:41,425 --> 00:34:42,324 million of them. 974 00:34:42,659 --> 00:34:44,980 Driving demand in terms of housing, whether that's 975 00:34:44,980 --> 00:34:47,619 apartments or or whatever it may be. They're 976 00:34:47,619 --> 00:34:49,239 demanding more rent. Therefore, 977 00:34:49,699 --> 00:34:51,940 your prices are going up. You wanna know 978 00:34:51,940 --> 00:34:53,539 why health insurance and health care costs are 979 00:34:53,539 --> 00:34:55,875 so expensive? Blame illegal immigration. There are too 980 00:34:55,875 --> 00:34:57,954 many people that are illegally owned that do 981 00:34:57,954 --> 00:35:00,515 not pay, that use urgent care, and that 982 00:35:00,515 --> 00:35:03,155 use emergency rooms as primary doctors, and they 983 00:35:03,155 --> 00:35:05,335 don't pay. So guess what? You get charged 984 00:35:05,554 --> 00:35:07,155 by the individuals who can pay to pay 985 00:35:07,155 --> 00:35:08,909 for those who do not pay. Wanna know 986 00:35:08,909 --> 00:35:10,909 why property taxes with regard to schools are 987 00:35:10,909 --> 00:35:12,909 so expensive? Because there's too many kids that 988 00:35:12,909 --> 00:35:15,309 are illegal aliens, anchor babies that are that 989 00:35:15,309 --> 00:35:17,230 are infiltrating our schools that you need to 990 00:35:17,230 --> 00:35:19,489 hire English as a second language or other 991 00:35:19,550 --> 00:35:21,409 things to assist the individuals, 992 00:35:22,269 --> 00:35:25,075 that drive up the cost. That's where this 993 00:35:25,075 --> 00:35:26,375 comes from. It's fundamental 994 00:35:26,994 --> 00:35:27,494 economics. 995 00:35:28,355 --> 00:35:30,994 Just look at the basics, and, unfortunately, people 996 00:35:30,994 --> 00:35:33,075 don't seem to understand that as a as 997 00:35:33,075 --> 00:35:35,894 an easy level. Yeah. Yeah. How true. 998 00:35:36,275 --> 00:35:39,030 If they did, we wouldn't have the governors 999 00:35:39,170 --> 00:35:41,250 that we have. In fact, all of the 1000 00:35:41,250 --> 00:35:42,150 blue states, 1001 00:35:43,089 --> 00:35:44,849 the people, if they had been smart enough 1002 00:35:44,849 --> 00:35:46,150 to understand exactly 1003 00:35:46,690 --> 00:35:47,829 what being a Democrat 1004 00:35:48,449 --> 00:35:50,929 consisted of, they would never have voted for 1005 00:35:50,929 --> 00:35:52,710 the people that they did vote for. 1006 00:35:53,054 --> 00:35:54,815 We've got Rich on the line. Good morning, 1007 00:35:54,815 --> 00:35:57,954 Rich. How are you? And, hope your beautiful 1008 00:35:58,094 --> 00:36:00,514 Easter weekend is just that, beautiful. 1009 00:36:02,175 --> 00:36:04,655 Thank you. I appreciate that. I hope you, 1010 00:36:04,894 --> 00:36:06,894 both of you have a nice Easter 1011 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,699 Oh, yeah. And, or Passover, whatever you recognize. 1012 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,640 I just wanna comment on one thing is 1013 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:13,960 that, 1014 00:36:14,599 --> 00:36:17,239 with respect to this war or conflict or 1015 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,640 whatever you wanna call it, I don't think 1016 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,699 they should pull out until they, can verify 1017 00:36:23,255 --> 00:36:25,835 that there's no nuclear weapons or capabilities. 1018 00:36:26,695 --> 00:36:28,315 I think there's too much pressure 1019 00:36:28,695 --> 00:36:30,954 right now politically to pull out 1020 00:36:31,335 --> 00:36:33,515 and all of this would be for nothing 1021 00:36:33,574 --> 00:36:34,954 if they don't completely 1022 00:36:35,255 --> 00:36:36,394 eliminate that. 1023 00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:38,329 Yeah. What are your thoughts? 1024 00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:40,789 No. I think that's a good observation because, 1025 00:36:40,789 --> 00:36:43,269 again, there's the mantra of stay the course 1026 00:36:43,269 --> 00:36:44,490 no matter how difficult, 1027 00:36:45,030 --> 00:36:46,710 things are with regard to the polls or 1028 00:36:46,710 --> 00:36:48,630 anything else. And, again, take this back to 1029 00:36:48,630 --> 00:36:51,675 the most fundamental level. Trump from a political 1030 00:36:51,734 --> 00:36:55,014 standpoint was definitely advised and knows that when 1031 00:36:55,014 --> 00:36:57,414 he made this decision that there is going 1032 00:36:57,414 --> 00:36:58,554 to be a political 1033 00:36:58,855 --> 00:37:01,255 repercussion. There's always political repercussions when it comes 1034 00:37:01,255 --> 00:37:03,894 to military action. But that if you pull 1035 00:37:03,894 --> 00:37:04,394 out 1036 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,180 away from your objectives, 1037 00:37:06,559 --> 00:37:08,019 then we lost 13, 1038 00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:09,860 men and women 1039 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,719 for nothing. Right? The soldiers that lost their 1040 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:13,780 lives in the initial, 1041 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,445 blood and treasure that we lost. So that's, 1042 00:37:17,445 --> 00:37:20,265 again, that's the commander in chief's decision. And 1043 00:37:20,325 --> 00:37:22,805 does it extend out to weeks and months, 1044 00:37:22,805 --> 00:37:25,364 etcetera? And that's that's kinda my point of 1045 00:37:25,364 --> 00:37:27,525 whether or not you cut bait or have 1046 00:37:27,525 --> 00:37:30,325 you completed your initial mission objectives? Yes or 1047 00:37:30,325 --> 00:37:32,769 no? Or has this become more complicated? Has 1048 00:37:32,769 --> 00:37:33,750 it become a quagmire? 1049 00:37:34,130 --> 00:37:35,730 Or do you do you cut your losses? 1050 00:37:35,730 --> 00:37:37,409 You know, the fundamental thing that you're taught 1051 00:37:37,409 --> 00:37:39,329 in kindergarten that I do not agree with 1052 00:37:39,329 --> 00:37:41,489 is to finish what you started. That can 1053 00:37:41,489 --> 00:37:43,569 be the case, but sometimes you do have 1054 00:37:43,569 --> 00:37:44,150 to cut, 1055 00:37:44,684 --> 00:37:47,405 based on new information and new circumstances. But 1056 00:37:47,405 --> 00:37:49,965 I I kinda more to your side, Rich, 1057 00:37:49,965 --> 00:37:52,785 with regard to if we have the capability 1058 00:37:52,844 --> 00:37:53,905 and the ability 1059 00:37:54,364 --> 00:37:56,385 to get the uranium and get it out, 1060 00:37:56,844 --> 00:37:58,545 then great. But if it's too 1061 00:37:58,969 --> 00:38:01,369 tall too tall of an order or too 1062 00:38:01,369 --> 00:38:03,690 costly, then maybe different decisions have to be 1063 00:38:03,690 --> 00:38:05,769 made. And we take the accomplishments that we 1064 00:38:05,769 --> 00:38:07,529 did by taking out the Ayatollah and a 1065 00:38:07,529 --> 00:38:08,989 lot of members of the IRGC. 1066 00:38:09,369 --> 00:38:10,889 We sink the navy and the army, and 1067 00:38:10,889 --> 00:38:13,864 we've allowed attrition to allow these weapons to 1068 00:38:13,864 --> 00:38:16,264 to be utilized with Iran. They still will 1069 00:38:16,264 --> 00:38:18,505 have some weapons for some time, but attrition 1070 00:38:18,505 --> 00:38:20,744 has made them use a lot of their 1071 00:38:20,744 --> 00:38:22,204 weapons, which will take them, 1072 00:38:22,505 --> 00:38:24,824 quite some time to recover. And, again, this 1073 00:38:24,824 --> 00:38:26,364 is what makes it so difficult 1074 00:38:26,710 --> 00:38:28,309 because how long do we wanna do it? 1075 00:38:28,309 --> 00:38:29,610 How long can we tolerate 1076 00:38:30,230 --> 00:38:31,130 this as American, 1077 00:38:31,910 --> 00:38:33,530 voters and taxpayers? Because, 1078 00:38:34,309 --> 00:38:36,230 again, the only thing that changes the election 1079 00:38:36,230 --> 00:38:38,630 trajectory of anything in this country is the 1080 00:38:38,630 --> 00:38:40,010 economy and war. 1081 00:38:40,355 --> 00:38:42,514 And right right now, it it could be 1082 00:38:42,514 --> 00:38:44,214 a double whammy with regard to 1083 00:38:44,514 --> 00:38:46,355 that. Yeah. Well, we are at the end 1084 00:38:46,355 --> 00:38:47,094 of our, 1085 00:38:47,554 --> 00:38:48,054 segment. 1086 00:38:48,514 --> 00:38:49,014 Rich, 1087 00:38:49,315 --> 00:38:50,275 thank you.
