Dan Bongino: We Can Isolate Evil Through the Abraham Accords
"Is death and destruction. That's their thing. But I can tell you what would turn the tide in this fight. Would it stop it? No. Evil doesn't disappear. Evil's plagued the human heart since we first became conscious and said, I think, therefore I am, you know, I'm not going anywhere. But there's no question that the world can become an almost infinitely better place by isolating pockets of evil and not letting it go mainstream. And one of the ways do to that was found by one Donald J. Trump. Trump figured out a these path Abraham to Accords where Bahrain and other countries decided, you know, it's a better idea. I mean, they weren't technically peace deals. They were more globalization, kind of economic arrangements, but they were a step. And Donald Trump took a step out of the box because we'd been told by political actors for years, Jim, you and Mike been in talk radio. You knew the drill. The whole through drill the years was if you're not going to get peace with the Palestinians, not going to be any peace deals or economic normalization. Trump was like, well, why not? And the answer was seriously. The answer was some iteration of, well, because we said so. And he was like, well, I'm just going to try. And it happened. And then they told him, by the way, don't move that embassy to Jerusalem. If you do it, there'll be World War Three. And he was like, we'll do this job. And he did it. And he did it. And there was nothing that happened until he left office. Weird way to protest Trump by waiting for him to

A highlight from The Chopping Block: Michael Lewis Swindled, SBFs Effective Altruism Ruse, Ethereum Protocol Enshrinement - Ep. 552
"The claim that Michael Lewis makes is that he thinks that Sam lost his way, but fundamentally he was more or less the same guy. He never really believed in crypto. He always saw crypto as instrumental. And that, I think everybody who's ever met Sam agrees with, is that Sam was not a true believer. He didn't really care that much about the industry. He saw it as an opportunity to make money. But it wasn't because he loves cars or private jets or whatever. Not a dividend. It's a tale of two quants. Now, your losses are on someone else's balance sheet. Generally speaking, airdrops are kind of pointless anyways. I named trading firms who were very involved. DeFi protocol is part of the antidote to this problem. Hello, everybody. Welcome to The Chopping Block. Every couple of weeks, the four of us get together and give the industry insider's perspective on the crypto topics of the day. So quick intros. First, we've got Tom, the DeFi Maven and Master of Memes. Next, we've got Robert, the crypto connoisseur and Tsar of Superstate. Then we've got Tarun, the Giga Brain and Grand Poobah at Gauntlet. And finally, I'm Haseeb, the head hype man at Dragonfly. We are early stage investors in crypto, but I want to caveat that nothing we say here is investment advice, legal advice, or even life advice. Please see ChoppingBlock .xyz for more disclosures. Okay, so just for context for everybody listening, we are recording this on Monday morning, US time. The news by the time this drops, I'm certain is going to be 100 % about the FTX sandbankment free trial. So I believe the trial starts on Tuesday. So by the time this goes out, I think it's going to go out Wednesday morning. And so we're televising this from the past, basically. At the end, we should make our predictions and then our listeners can listen to whether we're horribly wrong or not about what will happen. Okay, all right. All right. We'll end the show with some predictions about how the trial is going to play out. The trial is going to take multiple weeks, so we'll have plenty of time to do the play by play as the trial is actually playing out. But in the lead up to the trial, all eyes have been on Michael Lewis. So Michael Lewis, a very famous finance writer. He was the author of the Flash Boys book, if I'm not mistaken, yes. And so he, long story short, he was kind of embedded with sandbankment freed for something about a year and a half since 2021, before FTX collapsed, basically more or less lived with him in the Bahamas and was writing a book, didn't know what the book was going to be about. And he's dropping the book tomorrow. So the day the trial begins, Michael Lewis's book is going to drop. It's called, what is it called? Finding Infinity or something. So I don't know, something like that. And he appeared on 60 Minutes to give something of a preview of what the book is going to be about and his perspective on sandbankment freed. And this interview has got the entire internet in a tizzy. I watched the entire interview. The first thing I'll say about 60 Minutes is it's really weird that 60 Minutes is not 60 Minutes long. Like if you watch it, it's like 27 minutes long, which is like, there are so many commercials on TV. It's crazy. There are multiple stories within an episode. So in aggregate, it's 60 minutes long, but you're right that the content is only like Oh, I didn't realize it wasn't the only story. Okay. You ever see 60 Minutes? Yeah. It's like 40 minutes of, I do not watch 60 Minutes except at very, very brief snippets when something important is on. To be fair, the ads definitely make it less than 60 Minutes, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Well, I watched it on 2X. It was 13 minutes for whatever the period of that 60 Minutes was. So there were a few snippets from the 60 Minutes story that got the internet really excited. One of them was this anecdote that apparently near the end of the FTX, right before FTX collapsed, Sam Beckman -Fried, in part of his effective altruistic mindset and thinking about ways to ameliorate risk in the world, he believed that one of the biggest risks in the world was Donald Trump. And he knew that Donald Trump was going to be running in the next election. And so he contemplated paying Trump not to run in the upcoming election. And so apparently word of this got to Trump, Trump named a price, which was $5 billion, and SPF, at the time that FTX collapsed, apparently SPF was trying to figure out the legality of paying Trump not to run in the 2024 election, but then FTX collapsed and this never happened. Kind of an insane story. I don't know what you guys think of this. Obviously, there's no way he had the liquidity to be able to pay $5 billion in cash to Donald Trump. So this feels like kind of a harebrained story. Well, Alameda had the customer liquidity. And I feel like at a certain point, when they were doing the math, they did have access to $5 billion. I mean, there was also other stories where he was trying to invest multiple billion dollars in Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter. Like when these multi -billion dollar opportunities came up, I assume they looked at the metaphorical piggy bank, saw that there was high single digit, low double digit billions of dollars available and thought, well, what are the craziest things possible with this? It's not the first time there's stories of him using multiple billions of dollars potentially on something. So I believe it. I believe he probably tried. I'm sure that's not legal. Maybe it is. I doubt it. I can't see why that wouldn't be illegal. Not to rib a sieve like I did at that time, but you know who was doing all of these deals of trying to pay billions of dollars for both Twitter and Trump was McCaskill. So apparently the book describes the McCaskill piece as the interlocutor for all of these kind of ideas. So apparently he was the one who came up with the idea.

A highlight from Growing Unease: Current Administrations Approach to Security and Travel with David Bellavia
"What do you think they're doing with cash, right? What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? Yeah. What do you, it's, this is a state sponsor of terrorism. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens. America's comeback now. starts right Welcome back Financial Guys podcast. Mike Speraza in studio live today with a guest in the studio. I haven't had this in a long time. Staff Sergeant medal of honor recipient David Bellavia joining me for about a half hour today. David, thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Absolutely. So I'm going to stick based on your background. I'm going to stick with a lot of military stuff today and I want to start, we'll go all the way back to the beginning of the Joe Biden presidency. The Afghanistan withdrawal, in my opinion, did not go very smoothly. I'm sure many people listening agree. What were your overall thoughts of that withdrawal and how it actually ended up happening? I know we lost, you know, sadly lost 13 soldiers in that, in that withdrawal. People say we went off the wrong air base. People say that we shouldn't have gone out in the middle of the summer. There was a lot of different things there. What were your overall thoughts on that? I think it's like the worst day in American history since Market Garden. Just absolutely. And the reason why it was so difficult was it was totally unnecessary. So let's rewind to the Obama trade, Bull Bergdahl and the three first round draft picks. They get Marshall, they get MacArthur and they get Patton that end up the resurgence of the Taliban. These men not just go back to the enemy, they go back to the battlefield. They're in power when the government falls. You have misinformation coming from the White House that the president of Afghanistan is leaving with billions of dollars on his plane, which wasn't true. And then you leave the equipment, the cash. There's no recovery. We're getting reports of sales of American equipment left in Afghanistan in Southeast Asia. We're moving material across the globe. Our children will fight and pay and have to atone for these miscalculations. Let's talk about that. You being in the military and you knowing that area too, why did they just find it the easiest way out to just say, you know, just leave that billion dollar billions of dollars of equipment there and not think, again, if it was me and I'm speaking that someone that's never been in the military, but if it's me and I'm the president, I'm thinking, OK, I don't want to leave all our weaponry there. I don't want to lose any of my men. Number two. And number three, I want to make sure that everybody knows when and how we're getting out of there. And it just felt like poof. One day they said we're getting out of here. Well, it's because the military didn't make any of those decisions. I mean, look, Millie, it can criticize him. You can criticize Secretary of Defense worthy of criticism. However, none of these individuals are making decisions. This is about NGOs on the ground. This is about the State Department. So you've got Bagram Air Base, the equivalent of JFK. You've got Karzai International Airport, the equivalent of Teterboro. Right. Why would you ever do an exfil out of Karzai International Airport? It makes absolutely no sense. It's tactically unsound. But and then you've got all the ISIS -K. We retaliate from the murder of 13 of our bravest and we drop a bomb on a guy delivering water. He's on our payroll and we kill children on that. Then we take out Borat on a tuk tuk driving around like that wasn't even really what was happening. It's just a den of lies. And Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, all the heroes that brought us, you know, the Bergdahl deal, the Iran nuke deal. This is these. They the State Department is running all foreign policy, including what the DOD used to run. Well, that's I was going to say. I mean, I know Biden's the president, but do you blame him at all or is it everybody underneath him that, you know, maybe was giving him bad information? And again, some of these decisions, David, is Biden even involved in some of these decisions? Like, I don't even know anymore. Is he around? Is he paying attention to anything going on? Well, I mean, just from the press conferences, it was apparent he didn't know what was going on. And the great irony is that they actually were predicting that Ukraine was going to be invaded and, you know, no one believed them. So it's like you can't influence your friends. The allies don't trust you. The enemy doesn't respect you. You know, I mean, you've got Ben Rhodes is really proud of this State Department. Susan Rice loves what they're doing. But, you know, again, Americans died. And, you know, and what is the perfect culmination of the adventure in Afghanistan? Looking at your watch at Dover Air Base when bodies are coming home. I mean, nothing could you couldn't ask for a just it's it's a debacle. Yeah. And it's sad that that's that's the leader of our country there. Let's move in. You brought up the Ukraine there. So the Russia Ukraine conflict will get to Zelensky in a minute. He is as we speak in New York City right now. But so Trump's in office. We don't see many of these conflicts or any conflicts actually started under his watch. And then we have the Biden administration come in. And a year later, we have Russia invading Ukraine. Why did this happen and why? Why the timing of February of 2022? So let's go back to when we were fighting ISIS. Trump engaged and destroyed estimated some say 300 members of Wagner forces. But those were Russian nationals. We engaged. We destroyed them. What was the response from Putin? Nothing at all. So what do people in that section of the world, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, what do they respect? They respect power. They respect authority. You're not going to get any respect if you don't engage the enemy when they present themselves. I don't understand the calculus of again, I'm trying hard to figure it out. I don't get it. I don't. You know, Romania and Hungary and Poland, you're letting them unilaterally decide whether or not they want to send reinforcements into Ukraine. That's an act of war. If NATO members engage the enemy, all of NATO is engaged against the enemy. Poland doesn't unilaterally make that decision. Hungary and Romania don't unilaterally make that decision. We can't even articulate what the mission is. And if you look, go to the Institute for the Study of War, there's a plug for them. Check out their overlay from when the battle started, when the war started with Russia. And tell me what success this offensive in Ukraine has produced. I mean, let me ask this question, because I get confused. The answer is nothing. I asked this on Twitter, X, whatever it's called, all the time. What is the end game and how do we get there? Because all I see the answer is, hey, just blank checks. Hey, just write a check. Hey, here's a billion. Hey, here's 20 billion. Hey, here's another 10 billion. I don't actually see a look. I mean, like anything, right? If I write a business plan of what I want to do in 2024, my goal is X. I write down my steps to get X. I don't just write down X and say it's going to happen. I don't really know. And then the answer always is, well, we have to fight. We have to back Ukraine. Okay. But when does that end? Because the Afghanistan war and the war in Iraq lasted 20 years plus, right? And was there a real end to it? I don't know. That's where it gets frustrating for me, Dave, where I'm like, how do we know what the end game is? Do you win or lose? When does that happen? I don't know. I don't know. At least you're thinking about it. And I have fear that our leaders aren't, and that's the problem. So here's what this comes out. You're going to get a negotiated settlement out of Ukraine, right? But you talked about the billions of dollars that we're spending and giving to Ukraine as a blank check. First of all, Zelensky visited Ukrainian soldiers in the United States. Did you know that there were wounded Ukrainian soldiers in the United States? I did not know that. Well, today he visited them. So what's happening there? So that's a cost that no one is putting on the ledger. So now let's look at the blank check that Ukraine is getting. And by the way, I'm pro Ukraine. I want to fight communists all day and night. So let's punch Putin hard in the face. However, you're giving them a blank check and you're giving them munitions. Now here's the problem. We have to replace those munitions. Those munitions were purchased for 20 year global war and terror. And let's be honest, inflation is involved. So what you purchased for $10 is now $17. So you're not just giving them the money. You're giving them the equipment and the munitions that you have to replace yourself at the value of what is valued today. We haven't scratched the surface for the amount of money. CBO absent at the wheel. No one is tracking this. 2024 can't get here fast enough. How does this work, though, when you talk about some of these NATO nations coming together and making decisions, but us not just giving weaponry, giving everything money, whatever we're giving there? Is that not an act of war, too, though, David, at some point? We're continuing to fund Ukraine continuing the war in Ukraine. I mean, that to me seems like we're backing a war. Well, I mean, by the letter of the law and NATO charter, it's not. But here's the problem. It's schizophrenic because we were told that what was an offensive weapon was going to mitigate, you know, that wasn't going to help peace at all. So we went from, I don't know if they should get tracked vehicles to I'm not sure an artillery piece is what they need to high Mars rockets being launched. And let's be honest. I mean, the Ukrainians are I mean, the payload that they're going through, what you would have to have cataclysmic casualty numbers to be able to to the spandex that they're doing on the ground that they need to replace Patriot. If you're going through thirty five Patriot to, you know, missiles, I would expect to at least the C 20 makes that are shot down. They're using them for air artillery. They're using there for indirect fire. I don't know what they're doing, but this is going to end with Don Boss going to Russia. This is going to end with that land chain that Putin wanted through Crimea. And again, our friends in NATO, what are they even doing for Ukraine? What? Look, if you they said that Trump wanted to kill NATO, Biden did it. Right. Biden did it. And now Germany. And so Putin was selling oil at thirty dollars a barrel. What's it at ninety six? Yeah. He's making more money than he did before. And he's financing a war and killing innocent people. You mentioned before, too, and I think this is a good point. Everybody on the left and I'll say the media, the establishment, whoever you want to say, says that if you don't agree with the war in Ukraine, you're like pro Putin. Right. And that's just the most outrageous thing in the world, because I agree with you. I feel for the people of Ukraine. I don't want this for them. I don't want this for innocent people. However, at some point, the world's every every one of the world's problems can't be America's problem when we have a border crisis. And then I think they said yesterday ten thousand people came across. They got, I think, eight thousand of the ten thousand. But you see the numbers day over day. It's a problem. We have crime that's rampant. We have overdoses that are at record numbers. We have we have suicides at record numbers. At some point, we have to maybe just think about ourselves and not everybody else, because if we fall, sadly, I think the world falls at that point. Amen. The thing that I would add is I love the way the Ukraine refugee has been crowbarred into the migrant crisis in the United States. New York leaders from the city to all over Kathy Hochul, the governor of the state of New York, mentioning that, you know, like the Ukrainians in Poland, the the Polish have no intention to keep Ukrainians forever. That's a temporary you know, they're leaving a conflict to return to their country after the conflict is over. Again, this is just we're we're putting a round peg into a square hole and just hammering it away. But but there's no the media. There's you're our destroying military. I go to parents all the time around this country and ask them to give us their sons and daughters to join the military. And the one thing they bring up is Afghanistan. It's not about anything. It's Afghanistan. How are you going to assure us that you're going to maintain your commitment to our son and daughter when you betrayed us in Afghanistan that has lasting effects? And there's not a I'm trying to find a segment of our of our of our nation that's functioning. I don't know what it is. I saw in Chicago, they're going to have municipally owned grocery stores. Maybe that will figure it out there. Yeah, yeah, it's good. Real quick, do you think and we'll finish up on this topic, but do you think that they will we will ever have boots in the ground on Ukraine? I mean, I hope not, because I just don't know what the I mean, look at I'm I'm we're getting ready for China. We're trying to revolutionize everything. I don't know what the what the plan is. I mean, again, if you want to put a base in Ukraine, and you want to make that a sustainment operation going forward, that I here's the point. I don't understand what the inactive ready reserve call up was for. Why are you bringing those troops in the non combat support? Why are they going to Ukraine? What are you building infrastructure there? Here's what I do know. We're talking a minimum of $11 trillion to build Ukraine back. That is cataclysmic amounts of money. There isn't water, electricity, internet, you know, you want to help Ukraine. You're going to Russia is not paying for that if you negotiate a settlement. So I don't know what the plan is. But I hope we never see boots on the ground. I could guess what the plan is. I won't I won't say for sure. But I could guess that we'll be paying a chunk of that. And I do have one last one. So I did interview Colonel Douglas McGregor a few months back. And he talked about he's a real optimist. But he is really very, very bullish on Ukraine. Yes, very, very optimistic. I'm dropping some all over the place. But he brought up some staggering numbers, though. And even if they're half true, it's a problem. The amount of casualties and wounded soldiers on the Ukrainian side that we're not hearing about the media. I don't know if you agree with some of those numbers or not. But he's saying, I mean, it's people are acting as if this is an even war right now. And it's not even close. First of all, McGregor's a stud. I mean, he's an absolute, you know, that we're glad he's on our side. He's a military mind. I don't know if those numbers are accurate. I could tell you they're juxtaposed to almost everything we're hearing from every institution that we have, including a lot of our intel from Germany and England. But again, I don't know what to believe. So when you don't have when you don't have transparency, when you're not holding regular press conferences, when your Pentagon spokesman is now working in the White House and now you're getting a triple spin. I mean, the U .S. Open double backspin. You've gotten so many spins on the narrative. I don't know what to believe. But if he is even close to what is a segment of truth, you know, then look, Ukraine needs an investigation. There's a lot of investigations. We've got to start on Afghanistan. We were promised that by Speaker McCarthy. We need a hot wash on Afghanistan. And then we need to go to what who is oversighting the money that's going to Ukraine. And what have we got for our return on investment? Yeah, I'm not asking for much. Really, all I'm asking for in this conflict is can we just talk about what the end game is? And to your point, can we get an accounting of where the money's going and what's being spent in a real accounting of it? The Iran deal that just happened last week. First off, the fact that that was negotiated and completed on 11th September to me is just the ultimate slap in the face. But you again, you know more about this than I do. We do a five for five trade. OK, I'm going to use sports analogies. We trade five for five. And then we also approved of six billion dollars that apparently wasn't ours, but it was in a fund that now they can release to Iran. How are we winning on that one? Well, first of all, I was hoping that at least it was a digital transfer. The fact that it went as euros in cash through Qatar. And OK, so what happens the 24 hours after that deal is made? We're now getting issues in the West Bank. We're now hearing about issues in Yemen. We've now got Hezbollah that's reinforced. I mean, look, what do you think they're doing with cash? Right. What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? What do you it's this is a state sponsor of terrorism. They haven't changed. By the way, their president is now in New York City addressing the United Nations. This guy's killed 6500 of his own people. He admits to it. He killed the students that revolted and wanted democracy when we did nothing. He killed 5000 of his citizens in 1988. He's killed over 300 Americans. There's no accountability whatsoever. I don't understand what it is about Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken that believe that Iran is a partner. All you've done 10 years ago, they were refining 10 percent of their oil. And now they're a force. Now they're working with Maduro in Venezuela, and they're a huge part of their members of of the international community. They're in good standing there. I don't get it. Does anyone believe that the Iran nuke deal? Look, we got hit with cruise missiles under Trump in Iraq. How did they have those cruise missiles? Those cruise missiles were illegal under the Obama nuke deal. So how are you refurbishing missiles in two years? Do we believe that their centrifuges have stopped? That they won't have a program if they don't have one already? No, I mean, I guess my question, David, is how I mean, I know that you pay a lot of attention to this stuff, but how do people like in the media not ask these questions? Right. I mean, these are legitimate. I mean, we just traded to I put this on my notes here. This is on the heels of trading a WNBA basketball player for the Merchant of Death like six months ago. Right. I mean, and again, I'm glad Americans are coming back to America. I don't want to sound pessimistic on that. That's great news. But we also I mean, this this stuff just seems like I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. It warrants questions, but nobody seems to care. I'm in the world that if you take hostages, we take hostages. You want to exchange people? We'll exchange people. You know, we definitely have the partners in the area to do that. For whatever reason, this administration, they're they're they're contrarians. They're contrarians to you know, they claim Bush and Cheney are their best friends, yet they just go 180 degrees from that doctrine. I don't know what the Biden doctrine is. I don't know what Bidenonomics is either, but I could tell you that they believe that Iran is a partner. Now, here's another thing. Our envoy to Iran not only is no longer the envoy, he doesn't have a security clearance. Does anyone curious at The New York Times as to what happened to the lead negotiator in Iran that is escorted off a bus, taken into American custody, given a job at Yale or Princeton or wherever he's working now? I've never heard of a person going from top secret classified negotiations to no clearance whatsoever and in the custody of American intelligence community. No one cares. No one cares at all. It's fascinating. And again, for me, I mean, these are big decisions that we're making. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it used to be, you know, maybe we did a two for five deal and then we made the six billion. Now we're like, we're giving stuff away and we're on the losing end. Correct me if I'm wrong, but America was never, you know, America losing. It was always America winning, right? America getting the best of deals. At least McDonald's has a five for five. We didn't even get that. You know what this does though? Honest to God, if you're thinking about traveling overseas, things go sideways, cartel, South America, Mexico, wherever you're going, you have a price in your head now. No one in their right mind is going to bring you back whether it's Haiti or wherever you are, you're worth $1 .25 billion. And thugs and scumbags are going to take advantage of that. I mean, that's a great point too. Do you think about leaving the country? I don't know anymore. That's a little bit concerning. I don't care where you're going, right? That's concerning. This one I just had to bring up because it happened two days ago or yesterday. How do we lose a plane? And I heard that's like a third one in the last six weeks that something like this has happened. How are we losing $80 million planes? Well, they're not $80 million anymore because they've got a new engine and all this other stuff. Look, the F -35 program is a complete disaster. You want to talk about why our allies think we're crazy. We sold them a plane. This program has been around since the early 90s and we've got nothing on return for it. So basically two planes are flying in a buddy team. They're doing training and a guy punches out. We don't even know why he punched out, but that plane could have easily hit a building. It didn't, thank God. But the wingman didn't follow where his buddy went. So what is he doing? He just kind of went on and did his own thing. And now the Marine Corps put a Facebook post like a dog is missing. We're expecting the Ukrainian farmers to carry the F -35 out with their tractors. I don't know what the point of it's wild. Look, stop embarrassing us. Just stop humiliating us. That's all I'm asking. Just be the army and the Marine Corps that we know our men and women are capable of being. Get out of their way. This gender garbage, this social experiment nonsense, stop humiliating our military. That's all I ask. Why can we not get the... I mean, I know why we can't get the answer, but I'm asking this to you. But why can't we, at a press conference at the White House, why can't we say, I want to talk to the guy that was in the other plane, or you can tell us the transcript of what happened when that happened. Talk to the guy who jumped out of the plane. Why did you do that? And again, I'm not trying to put our military on the spot, but these are kind of big questions to ask, right? I mean, if I do something in my business, I have to go face the music on that. Why doesn't everybody have to face music for their decisions or why things are happening? I think it's kind of important. Well, you don't want to talk to generals because they're going to tell you the truth and they won't be generals anymore. True. And you don't want to talk to enlisted people. Because look, I mean, let's be honest. How many people are... Is this a merit -based military anymore? Do we have a meritocracy? Are we promoting people based on pronouns? Go figure. When we're putting politics above military strength, accidents happen. We don't know the facts, but the fact that nobody cares about getting to the bottom of it, the day of the Pentagon paper reporters are gone. Yep. Yep. Let's just talk about the 2024 race quick, and then we will wrap up for today. So your thoughts on the Republican primary so far, I'll stay away from the Democratic side till the very end, but your thoughts on, you know, there's obviously Trump who is now in a, has a huge lead. Ron DeSantis seems to be crumbling underneath himself. Vivek Ramaswamy has jumped up in the polls. Nikki Haley's there. Tim Scott's there. A few others that probably aren't going to get a lot of votes. Chris Christie's the anti -Trump candidate. Mike Pence is, I don't know what Mike Pence is. I'm not really sure. Your thoughts about the whole field so far? I mean, look, it's impressive. They've got a deep bench. There's a lot of diversity. I, you know, none of it matters. Trump is the guy. The more you indict him, the more you empower him. You know, I'd like him to work on his communications a little bit better. You know, but if Trump is Trump, Trump is a Frankenstein monster of Barack Obama. As long as you have that faction, you're going to get, you know, Trump is going to be empowered. I just don't want to see Governor Noem anywhere near the White House. And I, if he's going to pick a running mate, you know, it's hard to find an ally here, you know. But it would be nice to find a governor. I don't want to take anyone from the Senate. I don't want to take anyone from the House with the margins that tight. But I mean, the idea that Governor Noem is being floated right now. I mean, I'd rather take North Dakota. Yeah. A little sled there. You know, it's funny you mentioned that because I saw a lot of that this weekend. I mean, can we just, for lack of a better term, keep it in our pants for about a year and then do what you got to do? It really is. I mean, every time you turn, somebody's doing something idiotic, whether it's Boebert. And again, I say this, David, a lot of people know who you are. A lot more know who you are than they'll ever know who I am. But when you go out in public into a movie theater like that, and I'm going to Boebert, not Noem for a second, you're, you're extremely well known. I don't care if it's dark or if it's as light as it is in the studio right now. What are you thinking? I, you know, she's, she's, she's an embarrassment. She is. She's bad, too. Who would have thought that Marjorie Taylor Greene would have been the, the oasis of the Maryland? I mean, seriously, I, again, you're, you're in Congress every day. You're out in public, you're on the job. You know, at least she wasn't wearing a hoodie, you know, that's all in shorts. She was at least dressed for the occasion, but I, it was, it's wildly embarrassing. Vaping, singing, whatever you're doing. Getting groped. Yes. Who is your VP candidate then? Because I think, you know, you have names thrown around. There's, there's, the vague has been thrown around in there. You know, Byron Donald's has been thrown around in there. Carrie Lake has. I don't know. I love Carrie Lake. I just don't know that Trump needs to go with somebody so divisive there. I think he's got to go with somebody that's, that's firm in their beliefs, but also not maybe going to turn off half the country. Well, you know, it's, it's impossible. One of the, one of the problems with making Trump, you know, the, the enemy of the state that the left has done is that you've really made it difficult for him to even put a cabinet together. You know, I mean, what are you going to do with it? You've got a lot of loyalists out there. You know, the vague is, is I think maybe the most intelligent dynamic candidate we've ever seen run for president, but experience does matter. But you know, I love the way he thinks. I love the movement. I don't know if he would even take the job to be honest with it. I don't think he needs it. But you look at a Tim Scott, I think Tim Scott is, you know, there's a whole lot to his message and I think he's, he's got the experience in the Senate, but honestly, you could literally take the Clint Eastwood chair and, and throw it in there as vice president. I'm going with that because this, this from top to bottom, we have to have seismic change in 24. Do you think he would ever choose Kristi Noem at this point with all that now? Yeah, no one knew Mike Pence was a, was a 24 hour story and then he was the vice president candidate. So who knows? I mean, a lot can happen between now and then, but I just, I don't need, you know, let's just pick people on their merit. Let's pick people that are ready to be the president. Imagine this, imagine picking a vice president that can lead the country. If something happens to a 75 year old president, you know, like Kamala Harris. Yeah. Someone like that.

A highlight from Commemorating The 22nd Anniversary Of The Sept. 11th, 2001 Attacks
"It's funny how people lie about actual real world events, even as we witnessed them on video, like Trump's visit to the Iowa football game. And he just got a resounding welcome. And they were trying to pretend he was being booed. You know, because there might have been a smattering of boos or a few people that gave him the middle finger, they wanted to pretend that he didn't get an absolute hero's welcome at the football stadium. And the video showed he did. Even CNN acknowledged it. Screaming, USA! USA! Trump! Trump! Trump! Man, oh, man. Republicans need to focus on Iowa and New Hampshire to try to stop him. I guess that might be their firewall if you're Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley or one of the others. I don't know how they're going to stop him. We shall see. It's September 11th. We're broadcasting from lower Manhattan. It's been 22 years since the September 11th attacks changed our world forever, changed our way of life, changed the way we view, oh, things like freedom. Freedom is on my mind today a lot. And I want to start with a difficult question about 9 -11. You know, 9 -11 spurred the Patriot Act, where the government felt that steps needed to be taken in order to be able to thwart terrorism. And the Patriot Act essentially took away the freedom that many, many Americans had enjoyed. Now, I understand we've got to try to figure out how to battle terrorism. Totally get it. But what I'm not too clear on is when the door got cracked open, where today the government is criminalizing speech to such an extent that they want to lock up the 45th president of the United States. The New York Times did a huge piece. Trump's indictments, key players in the 2020 election effort, it is quite the quite the article. They call out just about everyone in Trump's orbit and essentially accused them of being co -conspirators in a crime to overturn the 2020 election. It's insane. It's insane to witness the absolute destruction of speech in this country. And I want to ask you a difficult question. I want to start with it. Did it begin with the Patriot Act? Did this begin with 9 -11? Because my hunch is it might have. And if so, then Republicans are culpable as well. I think the more immediate place we're at right now is due to COVID. COVID cracked open the door to say, hey, if you question anything about the vaccine or about masks or about lockdowns, we're going to destroy your life. We're going to get you fired. We're going to deplatform you. We might even put lock you up. If you dare, I know a guy who lost a job, a good job, because he expressed a belief on social media that he shouldn't have to wear a mask because his coworkers were triggered by him. Now, he has since sued the employer, and I hope he wins. That's still winding its way, I think, through the legal process. But that's just one example of many. Everybody has an example. Everybody knows an example of somebody who paid a heavy price for daring to open their mouth. It used to be that America is a place where you were allowed to open your mouth. You were allowed to question authority. You were allowed to question any narrative you wanted, and we weren't going to lock you up for it. Democrats in 2016 questioned the election. All of them did. I've played that montage for you 100 times. Hillary, John Lewis, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Jimmy Carter, they all said Trump didn't win. The New York Times isn't doing a big expose on them. The New York Times isn't calling them out. But now they're calling out, and I mean everybody, Ronna McDaniel, Ted Cruz, Mike Lindell, anybody within—in fact, I saw in the comments section of this shocking article in the New York Times, somebody said, well, shouldn't Fox News be next? What about talk radio? Yeah, that's right. The left wants to lock all of us up for daring to express opinions. When did this terrible, dark chapter begin? Was it COVID, or was it 9 -11 and the creation of the Patriot Act? Let's start there. I want to flood my phone lines here on this Monday in the Relief Factor studios with your phone calls. Right here in the Ph .D. weight loss and nutrition phone number, it's 800 -655 -MIKE. That's the way for you to join us. I want you to tell me where you think it began. Did it begin with 9 -11 and the Patriot Act? Because we're in a bad place right now. I just read that New York Times article three or four times in a sense of shock. Could not think they can get away with weaponizing and criminalizing free speech in America. And that's a bad place to be. Let's get your take on it. And again, you're smart. You got the smartest audience in the world. Where did it start? Did it begin with 9 -11? Did it begin with COVID? Did Republicans do enough to stop this? Give me your take on tyranny Democrat Party style 2023 America. 1 -800 -655 -MIKE. 800 -655 -6453. Press 1 to come on air with us. Press 2 to leave a voicemail.

A highlight from Week in Review - Episode 20
"Welcome to The Mike Gallagher Show week in review podcast. I'm Eric Hanson. A lot of things happening this week, including the first GOP debate and the fourth arrest and indictment for Donald Trump. Let's begin with some post debate analysis. Mike thought that Ron DeSantis really needed to have a breakout night and didn't on the debate stage on Wednesday night. And without that, he may never catch Donald Trump. Nothing really came from the debate. Nobody reached out of the TV and grabbed you and said, I'm the person. There all annoyed with Vivek, which means Vivek probably had a great night. The two biggest establishment politicians on that stage, Mike Pence and Chris Christie, seemed to despise Vivek Ramaswamy, which was weird. I have to tell you, angry, petulant, aggressive Mike Pence is a weird look. I think of Mike Pence as this sort of avuncular, kind, gentlemanly, polite, God -fearing man. No, no, no. He kept talking over, going too long. Here's Brett Baer chastising him at one point. Please, please, Mr. Vice President, we got to follow the rules here. And Mike Pence, but he was rattled by Vivek Ramaswamy. They all seem to be. And isn't that interesting? Why? Why were they so rattled by Vivek? Well, let's look at him for a moment. He's not a politician. He's an outsider. He's a gazillionaire. Sounds like anybody you know. Here's Donald Trump's explanation about why he didn't go last night. And I got up today, I go through all of the early, early morning. I'm up at 5 36 in the morning. I go through all the news sites. One of the sites I always review is Axios. I like Mike Allen's work. I mean, their left of center, their mainstream headline at Axios, the big winner of the debate last night was Donald Trump. Trump wasn't even there. And according to Axios, Donald Trump won the debate last night by a landslide. Here he was last night explaining to Tucker on X why he didn't go to the debate. I'm leading by 50 and 60 points. And you know, some of them are at one and zero and two. And I'm saying, do I sit there for an hour or two hours, whatever it's going to be and get harassed by people that shouldn't even be running for president? Should I be doing that? But I just felt it would be more appropriate not to do the debate. I don't think it's right to do it. If you're leading by 50, 60, I have one problem leading by 70 points. And I'm saying, why am I doing it? And I'm going to have eight people, 10 people, whoever made the debate. I don't know how many it is, but I'm going to have all these people screaming at me, shouting questions at me, all of which I love answering. I love doing, but it doesn't make sense to do them. So I've taken a pass. I told you that Ron DeSantis had to have a huge night. He had to have an epic night. He had to have a game changing night. If he didn't, the campaign is over. Well, he didn't have a night that he needed to have if he wanted any chance at all of catching Donald Trump. I mean, he's down 30, 40, 50 points in the polls. And I wonder if you agree with Jason Miller on NBC, who opined that the DeSantis campaign is now pretty much over. And he held his own last night and he could tout a great record in Florida. He had to have that meteoric night. That's the only chance he had to begin catching up and making up all this lost ground. He didn't have it, but I want to play Jason Miller for you and what he said to Chuck Todd on NBC. And then I want to turn it over to you to see if you agree with this. Listen. President Trump looked like a genius by skipping the pig pile tonight and instead doing the interview with Tucker Carlson, which by the way, Chuck just hit 87 million views. So what, probably 10, a little more than tenfold than watch the rest of the folks have their cat fight tonight. But here's the other thing. I think it's a really important point. I heard someone earlier on the panel say they thought that sanctimonious did okay. That's not right. We saw the death of Ron DeSantis' campaign tonight as Vivek Ramaswamy leapfrog him into second place. DeSantis didn't do good enough for him to tread water. He had to have a breakout moment and Ramaswamy completely outshone him. I knew President Trump wasn't going to be there tonight. I didn't know Ron DeSantis was going to skip the debate as well. Now, Ron DeSantis didn't skip the debate at all, but let's be honest, Ron DeSantis with the awkward pauses and the frozen smile, he's not the warm, colorful personality and effective communicator that we've become used to.

A highlight from Week in Review - Episode 17
"Welcome to the Week in Review podcast, a presentation of The Mike Gallagher Show and what a wild week it has been. The ups, the downs, it started out with the Biden family and then, of course, it culminated with the indictment of Donald Trump again. A wild week. I hope you're buckled in and I hope you're ready for the ride that we are on. Former Hunter Biden business associate Devin Archer's congressional testimony has confirmed that Biden is a bald faced liar when he said he had absolutely no knowledge about his son's business dealings. In closed door House testimony yesterday, Biden's close, dear former dear friend and business partner, Devin Archer, said Hunter Biden put Joe Biden on the phone with business associates 20 roughly times. Remember, Joe Biden has continually denied that he knew anything at all about Hunter Biden's shady business dealings. Here is Karl Rove yesterday on Fox News Channel. There was corruption right from the get go and the fact that the vice president, then vice president, now president thinks that it's his to advantage to say I never talked to my son about his business. He should have talked about him and said, son, you're involved in a corrupt company. I'm in charge of the policy of the United States government to discourage corruption in Ukraine and you're embarrassing me. You and Devin Archer ought to get the heck out of there. And instead we had this mealy mouthed explanation by Goldman that, oh, we never saw him talking about business deals. Well, what the heck was he doing on the phone? What do you think Hunter wanted him on the phone for? To say, remember, my dad is the vice president of the United States. I'm a big dog. He's a big dog. Do business with us. That's exactly what it was all about. We all know what has been going on. The Biden family has been selling its name for money for years. Some could argue that when you're the vice president of the United States, that's, that's an un -American, perhaps even traitorous thing to do. To use your name and sell it to foreign adversaries like China in order to line your family's pockets. Of course we should be impeaching. And when my friend this morning admitted that the impeachments hurt Trump politically to some degree, maybe not fatally, I don't know. It couldn't have helped. You think an impeachment helps a president? You think it would look good for Joe Biden to be impeached? Let the Democrats dismiss it the way we dismissed the Trump impeachment. It doesn't change anything. Doesn't change a thing. 1 -800 -655 -MIKE. Welcome aboard. It's Tuesday. We're in the Relief Factor Studio's first day of August. Can you believe it? August the 1st, 2023. We're in for a ride here. We are in for a ride. Devin Archer is saying that Hunter touted the Biden brand. It was all about the brand. Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, presidential candidate, in an interview with Bret Baier last night pointed out that if this were anybody else but Hunter Biden, they'd already have this guy behind bars. Well, this is why we say there's two standards of justice. If Hunter were a Republican, he'd be in jail by now. You look at all this smoke and yet the FBI, where's the search warrants? Where's the grand jury? Where's the aggressiveness that they've shown going after some Republicans? You just don't see it. Including former President Trump. Including former President Trump. I mean, compare how they handled the Mar -a -Lago. They went through everything they could to get any piece of information. They are not doing that with Hunter. Of course, they didn't do it with Hillary back in 2016. So we look at that. But look at all the possible corruption. I mean, Hunter, he's selling paintings for over a million dollars. My six -year -old daughter does better paintings than him. Maybe we'll put ours up and see what kind of things she can fix. I don't think you're going to get a million dollars on it. It's just, it's amazing. The point is, you can't outdo this guy. No matter who you are, you're not going to out -Trump Trump. There is only one guy. And it's this guy. The Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, has said that he is, he believes that we're on the verge of opening an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. What do you think about this? I mean, obviously you've gone through it twice. Do you think Joe Biden should be impeached? They impeached me over a perfect phone call. This guy's stolen millions of dollars and done worse than that. I mean, look at what he's done to the country with the inflation, with the energy, with taking away people's rights, with the DOJ, weaponized DOJ. No, I mean, they impeached me over a perfect phone call. And here's a guy stolen millions of dollars and done other things that are so bad. Our country is in a position where it's just, it's so sad to see what's happening. I mean, is that, you think they should proceed? I don't want to comment on it, but you know, I think people understand. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. We'll see what they do. Let them make their decision. But they should do the proper thing. Let them make their decision. Meanwhile, the political wheels keep turning and turning and churning away. There's a narrative that has emerged that Ron DeSantis is too unlikeable to get the GOP nomination. Now, it's not a secret that I'm a Trump guy, but I'm also willing to support whoever the Republican nominee is determined to be by the voters. Why is Ron DeSantis having this narrative emerge? I talked about a back and forth I had with a friend of mine who happens to be a never Trumper. I mean, here's a headline at Axios. Trump is looking really hard, looks like it's really hard to beat him. I have a back and forth that I've shared with you for years with Pete Wehner. Pete Wehner worked for the Reagan administration, the Bush administration, speechwriter, policy guy. He's a really good guy. He's a spiritual man, happens to be a never Trumper, hates Donald Trump with the heat of a thousand suns, the heat of a thousand suns. But here's what Pete's assessment is of the DeSantis campaign and these new polls that just came out. My gosh. I mean, here's the headline from Axios, new poll Trump looks hard to beat. Trump crushes his GOP rivals, leading Ron DeSantis by a landslide 37 points nationally among likely primary voters in the first New York Times, Siena College poll of the 2024 campaign. Trump's at 54%, DeSantis is at 17. Here's what Pete says about the state of affairs. I don't think he'll mind if I share his comments with you in an email. He said, the problem is that people aren't buying what DeSantis is selling, most especially himself. He's intensely dislikable, Pete believes, and not particularly talented politically. And I don't see that changing. As I've said from the beginning, he was hugely overvalued. It's possible Trump collapses, though highly unlikely. If he does, I'd expect someone other than Ron DeSantis to emerge, but it would be a chaotic scramble to be sure. Now, do you think Pete's right? You think his assessment is correct? See, here's my disconnect about Ron DeSantis. And I admit it. I admit this. I don't feel the contempt for Ron DeSantis when I see him interviewed that others apparently feel. You know, a lot of people have an agenda. You know, I've got an agenda. It's an America first agenda. I want this country to win. And under the Democrat leadership, we're losing. We're losing big time. But I want, I'm going to be behind any Republican who gets the nomination. But ultimately, I don't know who that's going to be. What I know is Ron DeSantis has been an excellent, exceptional governor. Ron DeSantis checks every box when it comes to domestic and foreign policy. So maybe Pete's right. Maybe Pete is, I mean, Ron DeSantis is unlikable. I saw a video clip over the weekend. He was talking to a little kid about eating a slushie or an icee. And he says, there's a lot of sugar in that, ha ha ha. And then he was mocked by a lot of people saying he's awkward and he's phony and he's not likable. And listen, he doesn't have the charisma or the bombastic personality of Donald Trump.
Dennis Prager Podcasts
A highlight from Reality Check
"Dennis Prager here. Thanks for listening to the daily Dennis Prager podcast to hear the entire three hours of my radio show Commercial free every single day become a member of Prager topia You'll also get access to 15 years worth of archives as well as the daily show prep subscribe at Prager topia calm Hello, my friends, I'm Dennis Prager great to be with you. I hope the feeling is mutual And I assume to a large extent it is because that's why you're tuning in America has been Divided often there always been people if you will on the left people on the right Certainly, there was a division over slavery. That was dramatic to the point of hundreds of thousands of Americans slaughtered in a civil war What is new in the division today There are a number of things and it's a worthy topic Certainly come to the fore because of the indictments or the charges brought against The leading Republican contender and a former president unprecedented actions in the United States Presidented in virtually every dictatorship What is new is that the two sides have a different perspective Have not just a different perspective that's much that's much too mild The two sides have a different perception that's the word I wanted of reality See the north and south did not differ on facts They differed in values, but not on facts We have today not only Values that are diametrically opposed to one another between left and right We we don't even agree and this this is what is the first on reality If you think it is fair For biological men to compete in women's sports. It's not a matter of values Where where where why is this a values issue? This is a reality issue either. It's fair or It's unfair. That's that's a fact either men have an advantage Whether or not they call themselves women or they don't have an advantage whether or not they call themselves women either men who say their women should be put in women's prisons and women's locker rooms or they shouldn't That is not a difference in values that is a difference in reality We perceive reality differently. I read the New York Times editorial defending Jack Smith We don't agree on on reality. It is not again only an issue of values There is a values issue you better have a massive massive reason unprecedentedly serious reason to arrest a former president and the leading contender of the opposition or you are communists or Fascists or any term you wish to use for people who wish to have dictatorial rule in a country There isn't outside of Alan Dershowitz there isn't a liberal let alone a leftist of whom I am Oh, yeah, there is a Jonathan Turley right Jonathan Turley is another liberal And I say that despite the fact that Jonathan Turley attacked me many years ago Bizarre it just shows you how deep this stuff is because he writes a lot of very good stuff He called me a Judeo -Christian fascist. Did you know that? That that was a new term I've been called everything but Judeo -Christian fascist Because we know the history of Judeo -Christian fascism is so long and dark what It's Yes Anyway another by the way, it's another example of we know what they know and they know they don't know what we don't They don't even read our perspective or hear it or watch it. We we have all we know theirs. I read the New York Times How many New York Times readers read the Wall Street Journal editorial page? This is a terrible a terrible day in America, I Wrote 20 years ago that we're having a civil war and I said and I pray it remains nonviolent I'm not sure that this is not an act of violence isn't isn't every arrest an act of violence Now it as I have I wrote many years ago. There's moral violence and immoral violence So you may say it's moral violence arresting people and it usually is But it is violence and if it's not moral You you have Done something that only the Lord knows what it can lead to It's a very very very very bad thing in American life He told pernicious is that the word what was the adjective for the word lies In the indictment that the headline of the New York Times yesterday We'll find it He was let's see This Is the wrong one I want to get today's Column from the new the or the way the New York Times has reported it There we go You should know by the way, this is very distressing Judges signed to Trump Trump federal case Tanya should come shut Ken Has sometimes handed down sentences tougher than the one sought by prosecutors The woman is a left -wing activist That is who the judges the federal judge The federal judge assigned to former President Donald Trump's latest criminal case Has been publicly critical of January 6th as imposed lengthy sentences on Trump supporters Who went into the Capitol I Know one such John strand who's in not only prison but a particularly Severe prison and all he did is video of him. All he did was enter the Capitol These Most of the the vast majority of the people who went to the Capitol that day went to demonstrate Not to insurrect the day they used insurrection I Realized we're entering The realm of propaganda I He's used the Reichstag fire and I was right The German Parliament was burned in 1933 just as Hitler assumed power in Germany and The Nazis used that fire as an excuse to jail opponents and and rule by Dictatorial decree Ever hear of the term state of emergency Yes, that's what they did Should come a former public defender has shown a scrupulous concern for the rights of criminal defendants During the final years of the Trump administration. She repeatedly frustrated Justice Department efforts to accelerate the execution of federal inmates The Supreme Court reinstated the executions she blocked Supreme Court has overturned her Chitkin would oversee a trial into the case Which she hasn't yet scheduled Trump will make his initial appearance in the case Thursday afternoon. That's today, correct? That hearing is expected to be overseen by US magistrate judge Moxilla Upadhyaya Upadhyaya The indictment unsealed on Tuesday Which accuses Trump of criminal scheme of a criminal scheme to stay in power? after his election defeat the reading from the Wall Street Journal has been randomly assigned to Chutkan a 2014 Obama appointee Who was confirmed by the Senate on a 95 to 0 vote Like to know who the five were Who voted against her? She's not inclined to give people involved the benefit of the doubt Said Douglas Berman a professor of criminal law at the Ohio State University Two worlds in one country Gold dealers are a dime a dozen. They're everywhere what sets these companies apart and whom can you really trust? This is Dennis Prager for am fed coin and bullion my choice for buying precious metals when you buy precious metals It's imperative that you buy from a trustworthy and transparent dealer that protects your best interests So many companies use gimmicks to take advantage of inexperienced gold and silver buyers be cautious of brokers offering Free gold and silver or brokers that want to sell you overpriced collectible coins Claiming they appreciate more than gold and silver What about hidden commissions and huge markups Nick Grovitch and his team at am fed always have your back. I trust this man It's why I mentioned him by name Nick's been in this industry over 42 years and he's proud of providing transparency and fair pricing to build trusted Relationships if you're interested in buying or selling call Nick Grovitch and his team at am fed coin and bullion 800 2 2 1 7 6 9 4 American federal .com American federal .com So the judge that is overseeing the Prosecution and I would say persecution of Donald Trump is a left -wing activist She was part of lawyers for Obama She's the person overseeing the trial she's the judge She is regularly handed down sentences in line with or above what prosecutors recommend That is very rare. By the way making numerous statements concerning the seriousness of the attack on the Capitol and the future threat of political violence driven by Anti -democratic sentiments said John Lewis a research fellow at George Washington University's program on extremism This is all reported in the Wall Street Journal The New York Times is livid with regard to Donald Trump and The his lie that the election was dishonest Let's say it was a lie Do you understand that you're allowed to lie except under oath You're allowed to say a lot of horrible things Nazis demonstrated in front of a Georgia synagogue last month and when the police were asked why they didn't stop them they said because they're exercising their free speech and I am a Jew and I agreed with the police If free speech is allowed it allows for terrible speech it even allows for lies. I Am allowed to say the earth is flat. Is that a lie? Can I be arrested if I get a public forum and say the earth is flat? No First of all, sometimes lie is not clear. Sometimes lie is used as a political weapon We're told that we lie by saying that men and women are basically different. That's a lie It's a lie. We're told by the American Medical Association That it is a lie that men have an advantage in sports Right, these are all lies The stabilizing that's right. Okay, you're allowed a lie, but you can't tell a destabilizing lie to Say that this is not the America I grew up in is like saying that it is cold in the North Pole It is not, you know, I do a podcast with a 23 year old young woman Dennis and Julie it's called and you would love it. It's It's quite remarkable. She's quite remarkable. So I have Philosophized over the following question Who has it worse emotionally? young people Who never saw a free America? Or those of us who are old and did see a free America and are watching it disappear. I Don't have an answer to that question Mm Memories are very powerful and can be a source of comfort and they can be a source of distress if the memories are Over I Don't have an answer to that question. She doesn't either She sort of doesn't understand the America that I grew up in. She believes me. She understands the words When I was a kid, I remember this so vividly I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, we would play stickball in the street So, you know the guys would yell at each other and some guy would say something stupid or mean or whatever and somebody would say shut up and That kid would say Hey, it's a free country That was the answer of the guy who said stupid things are even cursed It's a free country. It was built in you could say anything Even things that are wrong or at least perceived as wrong The president of the United States and the leader of the opposition is going on trial Because he said things that the opposition doesn't believe are true The my favorite is Jack Smith wrote in the indictment That Trump knew that it was a lie that what he was saying was a lie Really then why don't we put Donald Trump on a lie detector There was no doubt in my mind that he is a certain That he was defrauded of the election as you are that Of your name. He is as certain of that as you are of whatever your name is This is what we've come to It has been a revelation to me in my older age You know, you think you know a lot especially if you spend your life thinking and writing and talking I Never realized until the last few years How many people are governed by emotions Trump is the perfect example People I respected voted Democrat because they hate Donald Trump It is better to ruin America then vote for a man. I hate I Feeling is another country where this is happening. Well, we'll talk about that in the next segment But that's it people are emotionally driven One of you wanted a lie, here's a lie. I'm about to tell you a lie that the Enlightenment ushered in the age of reason I Wish we were living in the age of reason If we were living in the age of reason forget a Judeo -christian age just the age of reason Donald Trump would not be on trial It is pure undiluted Passion So here's the question Is there a more powerful force than hatred? Another Question I don't know the answer to People are willing to destroy this country because they hate one man That's fascinating All right, we continue To remind you that August is fundraising month for PragerU. Please make a donation during the break a Meliorate thank you amelia rate. Excellent Sean Sean has a slight OCD problem, but it's very slight If you realize what I've accused Sean of white supremacy OCD My guests are true experts on the Middle East they're in from Israel Felice and Michael Friedson, I've known them for years. They're wonderful human beings and they're honest You know if I didn't ask you personally and I'm not even sure now I know your politics Which is such a credit to you to you both So Israel has been wracked with unprecedentedly large Demonstrations, so I'm curious you heard me you were in the studio and I said, oh Maybe you didn't might have been right before you came in I said America is now one country and two worlds. Is that true for Israel? Is it that severe? Israel is fighting Internally, I'm not so sure that they're trying to Undo what was done as much as they're seeing openings to pick up the power that they might be able to get their hands on so each side is looking for the mechanics of Functioning in a government where they say things are unconstitutional and yet there's no Constitution or laws Go through on the way to being approved as a law of the country Goes through a system whereby somebody will yell it's unconstitutional and have to go through the Constitution committee But yet there's no Constitution. Yeah, that's a phenomenon I will admit but I am curious about the depths of the division what I described about America Do you would you say that about Israel today? It's two countries or two worlds People won't talk about it. It's the kind of discussion that certain things are off limits nobody wants to be accused of doing something because they don't like the sardine where the Ashkenazim where they're taking those kind of intranasian battle Decree you have the phenomenon and I I I shudder to ask the question Do you have the phenomenon that we have in America and I'm telling you it is widespread of Children, I don't mean five -year -olds or ten -year -olds I mean 20 and 30 year olds who will not speak to a parent because of how they voted It's starting to seep in that's what I was about to add and you are beginning to see this happen. Really? Yes Yes, so this has been very divisive But you know Dennis I have to say there are issues here that are far more serious. You're looking at Iranian nuclear proliferation Imagine around October November it could happen and Israel has to go solo Something kicks up off the war. There's been all kinds of tests on borders with Israel whether it's Lebanon It's all of Iran's proxies and all of a sudden you have reservists right now that are saying that we're not going to show up Because of the judicial reforms and we're talking about 10 ,000 or more reservists. We're talking about Air Force pilots We're talking about those that manned drones we're talking about intelligence officers and you can read this every day This is getting to the heart of the nation so I ask you that even if Prime Minister Netanyahu may be correct and if even if you agreed with Prime Minister Netanyahu in terms of the fact of how judicial reforms should play out and when Sometimes the timing for the sake of a nation's security Might be more important and I'm throwing that out because I think people sometimes stop short and don't look at the big picture So even if Netanyahu and his supporters are right It's not it may not be the time because of the security issue. It's one one I have to admit I read that there were people members of the Air Force for example who threatened this and I couldn't believe it because Iran doesn't care if you're pro or anti Netanyahu pro or anti judicial reforms They want to kill you like the Nazis did not distinguish between left -wing and right -wing Jews secular and religious Jews They don't see it that way. They are willing to jeopardize Israel These reservists because of politics. Yes That's how bad it's gotten. So I think that Israel is at a very dangerous moment Where there's such a discomfort look you have high -tech Israel with many of the techies taking their companies already and moving out Now I hear it's happening now too with the doctors and I think that's probably less so but when you have two industries That are so vital to the state of Israel. Then you have to ask yourself why now? You have to ask yourself if you're an activist in Netanyahu's camp, yes you do So the question that many are asking is why now Well, the opportunity presented itself now Yeah Because he won with the elections were coming and going coming and going and finally you got a chance to put the numbers together Right. What's what has people? Pounding their heads against the wall is wondering why when the For example, we're now at something like 30 or 29 consecutive weekends of multi tens of thousands of people marching in the streets We fly in an airplane headed to Israel and we hear the conversations like oh, we'll meet you after the demonstration Or you know, I'm coming to visit Israel I may not go to the Western Wall this time, but I'm not going to miss the demonstration on Saturday night it's become the culture of the country and as it spread each sector within the nation is putting their hat in the ring to be the deciding factor of pushing the Numbers over the top. I guess you'd say what do the supporters of the current situation? Of the the anti -netanyahu folks, what is their argument with regard to the Supreme Court? That they should be allowed to rule on anything without reference to any Constitution Well, I give the this Constitution that aspect of it has fascinated me free free decades Now the idea that when they say it they believe they're talking about something being unconstitutional But they don't take the next step to describe how it becomes unconstitutional because that's their opinion That's why we have what's called the reasonable yes, that's that the reasonableness clause Yeah, all right, we're gonna be back in a moment Folks two great countries are in trouble That's the bottom line the US and Israel to democratic The editors of the editors of the media line org a source of non -biased news about the Middle East Michael and Felice Fritzen are in town from Israel and What they're describing? I mean we have not reached the point where we have Members of the armed forces taking a political position and saying they they won't show up That's I have to say that's that's scary and we're not threatened with existential annihilation like Israel is If these people don't show up a Hesitation is everything and if they're not practicing it's a big problem What is their what is their statement This is not a country worth defending if we don't get our way on the on judicial reform That's basically this the gist of it if you will leave that part of the imagination, but clearly that's what they're saying It's not a democracy anymore and because it will cease to be a democracy if these So if this this notion it will cease to be a democracy That's what they say here on the left.

I was watching the other day I'm actually not a huge Martin Luther King fan or whatever super flawed guy But I was watching the last the audio was listening the audio of the last speech that he gave the night before he was killed April 3rd, 1968. He was killed the next afternoon And he gave this speech and he had just been like cheating with a bunch of different women. Okay. Yeah He had a tendency. Oh my gosh. No, he was like a ridiculous out of control But he gave this speech in which he clearly predicted his own death Like there's no doubt if you listen to this that God is speaking through Martin Luther King and I and I get I don't like Martin Luther King's program. I don't like his behaviors a lot of You know worshipping Martin Luther King is absurd to me, but I gotta say if you listen to that speech God is speaking through Martin Luther King. There's no other explanation for that and you're like, well, that's kind of consistent with what we know We're all flawed the people in charge tend to be more flawed But it doesn't mean that they're not capable of greatness So let's just be honest about it The second you have to feel the need to pretend that you're perfect you become a liar and you become paradoxically even less perfect Become a member members dot Charlie Kirk calm buckle up everybody here we go Charlie what you've done is incredible here Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk Charlie Kirk's run in the White House folks.

I trust Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific mortgage at Andrew and Todd come One of the things I don't like is how these this primary is Ruining some people's friendships. I'm not gonna let that happen people know where my loyalties personally lie and I Got to tell you there's there's some really great people that are advocating in different camps We need to keep those bonds strong for those buying strong for just no other reasons and it's the right thing to do Great American and one of the sharpest minds in the movement Dave Rubin joins us Dave. Welcome to the program Dave How's this primary treating you? I'm sure that it's it's been uplifting fun You know, and I'm sure you just want it to go on for another two years Well first off early I want to say that no matter what happens in this crazy circus that we are all endlessly sucked into and cannot get out of the orbit of You and I were friends before all of this and I will be friends after this even if temporarily We're on I don't even want to say opposite side It seems that we're both I would say in different camps or but we're on Team America Dave We're just wearing different jerseys in the primary Is that fair to say that is fair to say and that's also why and I think you were kind of getting to this in That intro there. That's why it's been so disappointing to see the level of Craziness, I would say coming far more out of one side than another which is defending itself for the most part Because I've really really been trying it and for the people for your listeners and viewers that watch my show I have really been trying to stay above the fray to the best of my ability I am not perfect at it. Just like you are not perfect at it and and often politics brings out the worst in all of us But I think the best we can do right now is fight for the things we believe in and the people that you think And accomplish those things at a political and cultural level. That's what I'm doing that's what you're doing and and that's what many other people are doing and and hopefully if you do it with a Degree of honesty and integrity. I think you'll survive either way and I think a lot of people are kind of putting that aside And Dave we've done a lot of fun stuff together and we're gonna keep on doing it I mean we went to UC Berkeley together and you had your briefcase robbed from you in the early days of San Francisco Well, you didn't tell me I couldn't leave a bag in a car outside of Morton's That's right. It was in it was in a security car outside Morton's near the Transamerica building and Dave lost everything So Dave, I want to actually give our audience a fair opportunity here and this is not a gotcha in any way Just make the case for Governor DeSantis is policy agenda how you think the campaign is going Obviously, we've been you know voicing my personal opinions on President Trump's agenda what he's doing I want our audience to be able to hear all sides of it. You know, you're a very articulate I could say spokesperson for I don't not officially but obviously advocate Kind of make the case especially to our conservative audience. And then secondly, how do you think his campaign is currently going? Well, first off just to be clear I'm not a spokesperson I am not paid for you know By the campaign or anything like that. I would not even if they offered me money. I wouldn't I'm doing what I think is Right. I tell people what I think for a living and my life Literally my life and the life of my family and my employees who are in this room and them who work remotely But many of them who live in Florida and the two companies that I moved to Florida is all enriched by the things that Ron DeSantis has done here in the great state of Florida. I left I don't know that anyone in the entire country left California fled California more publicly than I did about a year and a half ago to move to the free state of Florida I would say and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this if you are a I would say right leaning person meaning you are Let's say a disaffected liberal or you're a traditional You know religious conservative or you're a libertarian something in that or you're just I said disaffected liberal But you're just sort of an old -school liberal who's a little confused about what time it is say like an RFK type You in essence should be loving every single thing that Ron DeSantis has done. I don't know one thing that Ron DeSantis Has not done that we would have wanted him to do Florida is safe. Its economy is absolutely booming We fund the police here. We're getting ESG out of our institutions We've done that which that's actually perhaps the biggest issue that people don't talk about that often because it's kind of in the weeds on How corporations are putting wokeness on all of us? I know you talk about it, but the average person doesn't and they certainly don't in corporate America. He has fought Disney He has fought the endless racialization of our children by getting rid of this AP African American Studies course That was in essence going to teach gender theory. We've gotten some of these books that are sexualizing our children out of schools He has done Literally everything that anyone right -leaning could believe in or could possibly want to happen I would say he's done one or two things that are a little bit more like right -leaning then then I will they're perfect for me Dave I got to say I love that stuff No, absolutely. So for example, Charlie, I'll give you one that you agree with DeSantis more than I do Which is the abortion one for me, Florida had Florida had 15 week Abortion ban and I've been to every Republican event in the year and a half since I've been here and I never heard anyone complaining About it DeSantis often said that he personally was pro -life And by the way, it's it's completely within his jurisdiction as the chief executive of the state especially when you win by a freaking crazy 1 .6 million vote landslide 20 % to do what you think is right and he has the Supermajority in the state Senate to make that happen. So he switched it six now I think it's possible that will hurt him in the in the general election I think at the primary it probably a little bit works to his favor But but I know he did what he thought was right and that's what he believes At he should use his power to do as the governor So I have a disagree with disagreement with him on that, but I think that's fine But I would ask you what is there anything that Ron DeSantis you're you're at least apart Oh, he's America's greatest governor. I've said that and I and by the way, I just I've said that repeatedly and some people say oh You're anti -de Santis. I said I'm not anti -de Santis. I've said he's America's greatest governor, but let me ask you Dave Is there anything can you what would what would you say would be your biggest my biggest complaint is the last six months? He's allowing consultants and Chamber of Commerce folks to run his campaign. He doesn't sound like the Ron DeSantis of last year I'll just be very honest. So so give so we can talk about the Ukraine give me like a specific example The Ukraine language, right? So the Ukraine language he was kind of dilly -dallying and flip -flopping on that at first. He was great His instinct was territorial dispute. Then he's talking about, you know more weapons for Zelensky and all that But honestly, it's also just kind of a vibe and a tone Dave where you know, the base for example I'll give you another example his miss handling of the Trump indictment I said that Ron DeSantis should have went down to Miami done a press conference showed that hey, this is my state Hey Vivek Ramaswami did it he ascended in the polls and now Vivek and DeSantis Vivek is working with Trump and everyone knows hold on a second But you're not gonna win the primary unless you understand Trump has a bait, you know has a built -in 50 to 60 percent But but hold on but if you listen to what DeSantis his words were related to the indictment He said he would not on the first indictment He said he would not extradite him and he's gone out of his way saying he's gonna destroy the very agencies I think has been more that's fair. No his policy fine But let me tell you how the base heard it Dave the base heard this and it might not even be fair I'm just telling you how the base heard it right because remember the base is like a lover scorned They hear one thing from a politician like Paul Ryan or Boehner and Lindsey Graham So they have a heightened sense of distrust and they love Trump and that's not going to change They heard Ron DeSantis go out of his way the first time to say well I don't know really what goes into payoffs to You know play boy. I'm not even saying that's fair That was just a joke and Trump makes silly jokes and sex jokes about everything like that The laws of Trump don't apply to everyone else Dave, you know that we're in this it's a different primary, right? The laws the guy is levitates. He's a once in a 200 -year, you know He says I'm gonna shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and he goes up in the polls. He attacks He's not a politician at this point. He's something beyond a politician, which I also think there's a certain demagoguery That's somewhat dangerous related to that. But oh, by the way, again, you know, I you know, I voted for Trump I like no, I know No, and I just so that was another thing and then finally I know that I'm a little biased when very biased when Ron DeSantis Didn't show up at our event that bothered me, right? It wasn't some sort of gotcha or trap I think he would have done very well I don't think he would have gotten booed or anything But here's what I would like to see out of DeSantis, you know When we go to a college campus you say hey if you disagree go to the front of the line I want to say I want to see somebody get in the arena and say hey I'm willing to throw out the script. I'm willing to just take any question. I'm willing to kind of just fight It's more kind of total and attitudinal Dave your reaction sure So look if in essence and we'll pick it up after the break if in essence your your point is oh I agree with Virtually all of the policies and nobody has accomplished more than this guy and done everything I want to do But but there's a little bit of a marketing issue here All right, I'll go with you on that and I think that can be dealt with but we'll pick it up on the other side Well, look, I will say this the base the base is very smart and they're constantly Looking in a way of who's gonna betray me next This is the advice I'd get I gave the DeSantis privately and publicly and right now the Rubicon has been crossed where they think DeSantis is gonna betray. I'm not even saying that's fair, but but I'm not saying it's fair. It's honest I mean Trump Trump has done far more to betray the truth and and in a certain way the Respect of the base every time he lies about dissent, right? So when he lies about kovat in Florida who was the best governor for kovat in Florida kovat in the country DeSantis 100 % But who has more who has more in who has done more work and more praise for Paul Ryan Is it Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump for Paul Ryan? I can't I can't either way but at the same time we could talk about getting after the break I can't speak either way. I mean I could show you plenty of videos of I'm gonna tell you this this line of what you're getting at is not persuasive to the base and I'll explain why after the break Because I'm telling you the truth. I'm not trying to persuade anybody Okay, but no lecturing the base is not how you win a primary That's that what you're doing is why he's losing because they want to hear well Not necessarily the little things Trump got wrong. They want to hear a vibe of a fighter that's gonna go crush the unit party in DC Hey everybody Charlie Kirk here every day we heard about another familiar brand selling out their companies and going woke Americans are sick and tired of having left -wing propaganda jammed into every product they consume woke mobile companies are no different for years They've been dumping millions in the left -wing causes and we had to take it because you need a cell phone and probably thought there was No alternative.

That's patriot mobile comm slash Charlie Continue with us is a good friend of mine Dave Rubin We've done a lot of stuff together about the years the Rubin report David. I didn't Dave I did not mean to cut you off. Please finish the argument. Yeah No, it's all good at Charlie really like this is we would do this over drinks I want people to understand that like there is something that transcends politics here Well, let me ask you something because one thing that I've been confused sort of going off what you said right before the break Was that he's sort of that DeSantis has like handed this off to that glass of people or something Do you is it your position that that Ron DeSantis has anything to do with Karl Rove or Paul Ryan? Oh, no I because Donald Trump does that I don't think he does does that repeatedly and that's what all the people but Dave I'll be honest He's acting like he does He's acting like he might as well because he's acting and talking like Karl Rove is running his campaign. No, no, no No, hold on Hold on you do you have any evidence or any reason to believe that Karl Rove or Paul Ryan have anything? No, except for the fact that Fox has been very favorable to DeSantis and Paul Ryan sits on the board But that seems like a reach and and so what I'm not gonna do Dave is I'm not gonna go through every Truth social and go through all that with you know Trump saying But sure we don't have to go through all of that except but it is important I think to some degree because I agree with what you're saying about The base in that in their passion for Donald Trump and why it's important and shouldn't be ignored and by the way When I'm frustrated with some of the the surrogates let's say or some of Trump's behavior lying about Florida and kovat that sort of thing That's that's a direct frustration. It's not a frustration with the people that support him But for example, I mean I have the exact quote right here from DeSantis about a month ago I actually did a little research before I joined you today. This is a direct quote from DeSantis I have not spoken to Paul Ryan since I was elected governor and I've met Karl Rove won I really think it's important that your viewers who are the base understand that because if you listen to any of the surrogates and Donald Trump himself They're implying that he's somehow working with these people and that they are in charge of his campaign and everything else and it's simply not Okay, and I think that that's important. That's important to know but know that that's that's fair. I'm glad I'm glad we cleared that up DeSantis has gotten favorable treatment on Fox and Paul Ryan as a board member there, but let me let me put that aside Let me just say though the type of campaign Trump was on with Brett Baer what two weeks ago? Fair enough. I would say though That was a that was a mostly peaceful interview as we would say But let me let me just put it with the type of campaign I want DeSantis to run is like the vague which is there needs to be a sign of respect towards Trump But I don't feel with this from DeSantis. I'll be very honest DeSantis is a governor Thanks to Donald Trump that primary was not going well for him, right? So he's challenging the alpha beast, right? He's challenging the guy that did kind of Anoint him to win the primary and eventually the general the vague is smart The vague is reading the room that these indictments the amount of criminalization of Trump really Increases people's fervor of the injustice towards him. So DeSantis has a choice Do you run kind of a policy technocratic campaign? which is what he's running and I don't think it's going very well or do you read the room and you realize the base has an attachment to Trump and I'm going to respect that it seems as if it's in some kind of murky middle. I guess my question is Dave How do you think the campaign is going? Right. Well, I would say that first off just quickly on the Vivek things I don't want to spend too much time on that I mean It's fairly obvious to anyone paying attention that that Trump and Vivek are coordinating right Vivek is doing all Endless attacks on DeSantis no attacks on Trump and all of the Trump surrogates online, you know who they are They're always pumping up Vivek because Vivek is going after DeSantis Also, if I was to believe any of the polls and national polls, by the way mean absolutely nothing We're also seven months away from the first primary I mean really think about that like the first primary isn't until January of next year and Everyone's going crazy as if oh my god on any given day. Like the whole world is gonna spin out of control The you would never you would never if you were so confident of your lead you would never spend all day Attacking the number two guys. So that's just a little insider political jockeying However, I will agree with you that in terms of some of the strategy of the rollout They probably should have been more aggressive. I do see that changing. Look DeSantis just went on Russell Brand last week He just went on CNN for the first time last week I think he's doing Megyn Kelly this week if I'm not mistaken and she's been very very critical of him Russell's a lefty. I mean he certainly isn't you know, no one that you would call a traditional conservative by any stretch I would love to see him go on the view sit directly with those women and call out their endless lies about Florida, you know Anna Navarro who lives in Miami who rails against Florida every day He should sit right next to her and call her out so if you want if your question is really do you want to take some of the Anger that the base has because of the way Trump being treated and he's being treated horribly And I completely agree with righteous. I agree. I agree There's probably some way to do that But I would also say to some extent if you just want to view this if you just want to view this in the political lens Maybe this is why Trump should stop lying about DeSantis every which way and you know, he is Everything he says about DeSantis is a lie. Everything he says Dave. I'll be honest It's also a lie when DeSantis goes after Trump and says he was pro Fauci and all that. That's just not true But but and it is what it gave Fauci an award on the way out. We're out of time Dave Rubin. Thanks so much All right, you've probably heard me it's actually now 25 pounds that I have lost and I'm sure some of you say Oh Charlie. I've tried everything.

My PhD weight loss calm Okay, really important discussion we're gonna have here It's a sensitive topic and there's some pending legal challenges around it So we sent out this tweet and it's gone totally viral. So joining us now is Preisha Mosley Who is a D transitioner and attorney Josh Payne who is the attorney for Preisha? And I sent out this tweet both of you by the way, by the way, welcome to the program I said this tweet up Preisha Mosley is a 25 year old North Carolina woman who is suing the doctors who aided her sex change According to Preisha these doctors approved cross -sex hormones and a double mastectomy after consultation as brief as two minutes They also told her taking testosterone shots would allow her to quote grow a penis in Reality Preisha was just a 15 year old batter battling depression anxiety anorexia Her parents fought against her transition, but were steamrolled by enablers posing as medical professionals Preisha and Josh. Welcome to the program I understand there's some legal sensitivities around all this and so Preisha tell us in your own words your story and Why you're pursuing a lawsuit? Um, so my story is that I was a very troubled teenage girl I had a very sudden hard and strong puberty and Basically, my body grew faster than my brain. I Started receiving attention from boys and men who just wanted to touch me And Then at 14, I actually experienced a sexual assault which led to a miscarriage and totally divorced me from womanhood and then at 15, I was online in the pro Anna community and that's a self -harm community where people have anorexia and enable each other and Transgender adults came into the community and started telling us that we couldn't eat because we were born in the wrong body and we were boys and Eventually, you know after hearing an onslaught of this for so long and proof, you know I I ended up believing it and I was desperate for a cure. I was suicidal and had attempted And I just wanted to feel better. So I Was met by medical professionals who said the same exact thing You know you you have a disease you were born in the wrong body, you know you and so on and so forth Um, and I'm bringing a legal case because I've come to realize that I am not a boy I wasn't born in the wrong body. I I was mentally ill I needed therapy I I needed someone to care for me. Um But that's what happened it's a very powerful and by the way courageous testimony that you have Josh You're the attorney for Preisha Josh. Can you fill us in on who Preisha is suing and what is the complaint? basically detailed That's right, Charlie as we allege in the complaint Preisha is seeking justice because she feels that she was deceived and misled into a Medicalized gender transition being placed on what they call cross -sex hormone therapy which in actuality is injecting large amounts of testosterone the male hormone into her female body and also having her healthy breasts removed by a plastic surgeon at age 18 after she was put on the testosterone at age 17 and Doctors and the counselors who were involved in leading her down this path and the the tragedy of it is that It happened and Preisha was left with her mental health issues unresolved Contrary to the promises that were made that these medical interventions would in fact cure her mental health Problems and issues and that they were a treatment for those mental health Issues but as alleged in the complaint that did not happen Preisha was left with her mental health still untreated and unresolved and with additional significant mental and emotional injuries and of course the physical injuries That were brought about by her being on testosterone for years and without her body parts So I just need to editorialize for a second There are thousands if not tens of thousands of other young people that are now walking into the same circumstances that Preisha Was nine years ago.

A highlight from Tucker Carlson May Have Ended Mike Pences Career
"Okay, I want to be a charitable guy. I really do. I'm not trying to be mean -spirited. It's Monday. I hope you had a great weekend. We got a big week coming up. We had a weekend of Republican candidates and do we have so much to talk about? I mean, man, oh, man. And my right eye is about to fall out of my head. Do not watch Salem News Channel today. Let Kerry and all the rest of them get mad. Of course, you know it will have the opposite effect. I'll tell you not to watch because something weird is happening to my right eye and then you're going to watch and we'll have record ratings today. So my official recommendation, if you don't want to see a monster, don't watch the show on Salem News Channel because something's happening to my right eye. I don't think it's pink eye. Of course, it's contagious. I just saw Carolyn Cassidy, who's the general manager of the radio station, the new general manager who replaced the retiring Barb Yoder here in Tampa Bay and Carolyn is tremendous. I've known Carolyn for years and so glad she's on board as the GM here. She's standing in the hall talking to me and she said, what's going on? I said, well, I got something weird going on with my right eye and she immediately, you could see her like, she backed up eight feet quicker than any Avenger I've ever seen in the movies. It was crazy. She literally backpedaled without touching the floor. I've never seen anybody back away from me quicker than Carolyn did when she saw my right eye and it is, it is weird. Tracy, did we get in to see the good old Dr. Feelgood? Oh, she's talking to Dr. Feelgood now. So I mean, I feel fine, doesn't hurt, but it looks like I got hit in the eye with a baseball bat. So I'm urging you, begging you, don't make fun of me by watching Salem News Channel. Just turn up your radio, listen to the show. You see can't my disease by listening to me. And of course in my mind it's a disease. I'm a little bit of a hypochondriac. I figured out it's some kind of a, you know, one in a billion rare and I think my eyes about to fall out of my head. So I'm a little distracted and I'm in a charitable mood because look, anything could happen to anybody at any time. You too could have this affliction. So here I am. I want to be charitable to former Vice President Mike Pence. I'm going to play a bit of audio from the big leadership summit, the family leadership summit in Iowa over the weekend. Everybody was there but Trump. Trump was at the turning point event. Trump was great at the TPUSA event. From what I can tell, DeSantis was pretty great at the Iowa family leadership summit. So it was vague as I understand it. But I want to play this clip because some of them were not so great. At the top of the list perhaps is Mike Pence. And as you know, I got a soft spot for Mike Pence. I like him. I've met him. I've interviewed him. He's a former radio broadcaster. I think he was a great Vice President. I understand many people disagree with his actions surrounding January 6th. I just like the guy a lot. I think he is a rock solid guy. He's a conservative. He's pro -life. He may not make it on the debate stage. He doesn't have the prerequisite 40 ,000 individual donors. And this may completely negate his chances. Listen to this exchange and then please explain to me what you think Mike Pence was saying. I'm sorry Mr. Vice President, I know you're running for President.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Charlie Calls Into His Own Show to Unpack Trump's CNN Town Hall
"Now we're about to see something very rare and special. The guest on the Charlie Kirk show right now is Charlie Kirk, Charlie, good morning. Alex, great to be here. Thanks so much. Perfect, perfect. We're working through some of the kinks of being in the new studio format is incredible here. You've done an amazing thing and you deserve it. You won the hardest workers in all of media and activism. And it is a historic day, Charlie. I know that's why you wanted to be on your show, even though you're on vacation. And I think the audience really really appreciates it. I'm very terrified to go in to see if you were able to pull away to watch Trump dominate CNN yesterday. But I got to start all I had to. So it's kind of funny, Alex, you know, my idea of a vacation is a little different than most. I was finishing off my eye surgery, which praised God went really well. So now I could see everything in great detail and you've been doing amazing producer Andrew good fabulous filling in and the team has just been doing awesome. So great gratitude and it's been a week I needed just to kind of recharge and get some medical stuff done. But yes, how could I not watch the Trump town high? I have several thoughts about it. You know, candidly, privately between our teams messages. I didn't think this was first a good idea. I was like, man, why are we even talking to these people? Why are you going on CNN? And Blake and Andrew and the team, they kind of pushed back like, no, this is exactly what makes Trump Trump and they're totally right, by the way. And I mean, I went from a skeptic to a believer last night. When, first of all, there's a couple takeaways. Just if you watch the whole thing on mute, it's very clear that Trump knows exactly the body posture to physical presence. I mean, he just looks like a beast, right? He just dominates the whole the whole thing, right? And it's just that the way the way he talks, he looks like somebody who's in control in charge and I thought he did what kind of attend that way. Secondly, I just thought he looked good. He looked like he had energy. He was calm. He looked cool and collected, he didn't get too fired up.

Latest Poll Sees Trump Defeating Both Biden & DeSantis
"But the drudge report alert came out and it was the shock poll Washington Post ABC News poll. This just cracks me up. The never trumpers don't know what to do. They really don't, because they all watch ABC News and read The Washington Post. And they don't know whether to wind their, what's the phrase they don't know whether to scratch their fanny or wine their watch? They don't know whether to wind their fannies and scratch their watch. They don't know which end is up. This poll, the shock pole shows Trump today crushing Biden and crushing desantis. That's the part that was kind of lost from all the breathless headlines. Trump beats the santas in a hypothetical matchup, I mean, excuse me, Trump beats Biden in a hypothetical matchup by 7 points. Desantis beats Biden by the same margin, 7 points. I think for Trump it's like 49 to 42% and for desantis, I think it's 48 to 41%. I know it's both 7%. There's 7 points, right? But head to head with Trump. Trump crushes Ron DeSantis.

Brigitte Gabriel Endorses Donald Trump for 2024 President
"Trump. Trump is the only person that can save this country. Trump is the only person that can save this country. I am somebody who's illegal immigrant to the United States. I have seen my own country of births Lebanon go down. I know what it takes to straighten out a country from corruption. President Trump is the only leader who can take on the establishment. What president can face all the lawsuits all the attacks? What president is able and willing to go into CNN and do a CNN town hall. President Trump has no fear. He has the courage and the backbone of a lion. Many of the rhinos are not able to face and take and handle what he can handle. The Democrats fear him because he fights like they do. And that's why they despise him more than any other personality on the face of the planet. We need to stand together. Obviously, we're going to support whoever the nominee is going to be to save our republic. It's not going to be on the democratic side. It's going to be on the Republican side. So I'm putting that out there. We're going to stand up and support whoever is the nominee of the party. However, I believe president Trump is the only person that can save this country. And I believe we as Americans need to come together and work together and apply pressure on our elected officials because a lot of things happen between now and election day. You know, a lot of, a lot of Republicans do not become engaged until election day, they think, oh, well, I vote every two years. You need to be engaged as an active citizen.

The Dinesh D'Souza Podcast
Trump Goes “Scorched Earth” on DeSantis
"Trump is going scorched earth on desantis. It seems like when I look at Trump's feed on truth social, every single day he's pummeling desantis and in fact, Debbie and I were watching Trump's most recent ad that he's put out and add that actually in some ways makes you laugh. It makes you laugh because it's so trumpian and it's so over the top and the basic theme of the ad is the Trump created desantis. So the desantis was this kind of absolute nobody. Get the impression he was just some guy on the street. Who decided to sort of run for governor, he had absolutely no chance in the Republican primary, let alone in the governor's race, then to the rescue rides in Trump, Trump basically annoying dissenters and then desantis has a glowing future. So Trump's point is that this guy is who's claiming to be this kind of better alternative to me is none other than you may say my political offspring. So it's a condescending ad and the little the meaning, of course, or desantis. But it also makes you laugh because it's like, wait a minute. I mean, this may be true. Trump is from a generation earlier than desantis. So no surprise, a lot of people have come up through the Trump movement. Think of it. A lot of people came up through Reagan pretty much the entire generation of Republican leaders from Newt Gingrich to Jack camp so many others came up through the Reagan revolution. And so this is something actually Trump should be proud of, but not in the negative sense of bashing those people and saying, hey guys, listen, you would have been nowhere because of me, it would be more appropriate for Trump to say, really, the opposite. I'm proud of the Sanders. I'm actually glad that he's gone on to do a good job in Florida.

DeSantis-Aligned Group Publishes Ad on Trump's Gun Policy
"This is a new ad from a desantis aligned political action committee. Attacking Donald Trump. Trump promised in our members he'd have their back. But when Second Amendment rights came under attack, Trump abandoned us and stood with liberal Democrats. You guys have for yourself afraid of the NRA. We have to fight them every once in a while. That's okay. Some of you people are petrified of the NRA. You can't be petrified. They have great power over you people. They have less power over me. I don't need it. I don't what do I need? That is why I have called for red flag laws. Take the firearms first and then go to court. I like taking the guns early. Take the guns first, go through due process. He and I introduced another assault weapons Bill. And you have some very good ideas, Diane, if you could add what you have also, and I think you can into the Bill, show where you're ready. Can you do that? Joe, can you do that? Can you add if you help? Well, no, I'll help, but can you add what Amy and what Diane have can we add them in? We're talking about rules and regulations for purchasing, talking about changing an age from 18 to 21. I mean, I say that it should all be a 21. You do strong background checks. We're getting rid of the bump stocks. Trump cut and run like a coward. Trump the gun grabber doesn't deserve a second chance.

"Recognize and understand that the election wasn't stolen, that we shouldn't perpetuate the big lie and that there's real danger. You know, I've worked in countries around the world where we don't have peaceful transitions of power. And all of us who are elected officials have got tol make sure that we Wasn't there a peaceful transition of power. They have to send federal marshals in their drag. Donald Trump's but out of the White House. Barren blockhead himself in the bathroom. What are you talking about? Obey. He's in Florida and abide by the oath. We swore to the Constitution and the peaceful transition of power is key to that Now, if you want to. If you're asking me about my constituents, my constituents believe firmly in the rule of law. They believe firmly in the Constitution. They know that we do not swear allegiance to any individual and that is crucially important that you've made this way. I'm gonna make another point. It's crucially important if we want to be able to defeat the really bad buying policies. We have to attract voters back test be able to attract the voters who left us by making clear we know the election wasn't stolen and we were going to abide by the rule of law. Do you believe that America is better off? With President Biden. Then President Trump. I believe that President won't That's interesting. You believe the country is better off with President Biden.

"The reconciliation can still be used for a spending bill. Bill a debt ceiling bill once for the current fiscal year. And then once more during the current fiscal year for the next fiscal year so So so maybe they get two shots. But i think that the tax bill will be a different one and just like trump in two thousand seventeen came in and used the tax reconciliation process to do the tax. Cut bill in two thousand seventeen with no democratic votes The the argon to do that and biden has been talking about raising the the income tax rate on corporations and the income tax rate on individuals who earn more than four hundred thousand and maybe doing something to reduce the disparity between the capital gains tax rate and the and the ordinary income tax rate. I mean biden has definitely been talking about some targeted tax increases and. I'm quite sure that's coming now. Whether that's going to add up to the kind of money that this that the that the stimulus bill is costing. I'm sure it won't. But but the but the tax bill will remain in effect. You know for years and the stimulus bill right now seems to be a one time deal. I mean this is the second time third time deal third. Yeah but the mid the middle one was much much smaller And i think the first one was actually larger than this one but we are gonna come near the end of the pandemic already about one out of every eight people in the country has already been vaccinated. I think by the end of summer the expectation is that substantially everybody who wants to be vaccinated will be vaccinated and i think you will see so many businesses reopening so many jobs opening up again that nobody will be talking about another stimulus. Bill like this in another six months. So so i think you know. Tax increases have a longer period of time to collect revenues than than the stimulus. Bill is going to be spending revenue. So i think things will come back into balance a bit Or at least be moving in the right direction. And and i wouldn't really believe in the parade of horrible about that. This is going to turn into greece or something in the whole thing is gonna collapse. I mean this is the united states. I don't think the whole thing is gonna collapse. I hate that point. But i i think that your your your analysis that you can kind of having. Endless spin is a long standing democratic. Trope the dignity of the real economic evidence and i. It's a matter of fact. I'm i'm in some ways. I'm happy as a matter of fact that the democrats are gonna do it via reconciliation. Because i do not think that this will go down in history as a good one. And i think the democrats are going to have to end up owning my only real question. Is i hope that republicans can capitalize on a positive way in two thousand twenty june two thousand twenty four and not allow it to help trump but but i think that in some ways or that kind of that trump party but no i think democrats are gonna end up having to eat this one and and i think that your idea of like well..

"Spending for the first time in history we'd be multiples of trillions y- even when not in terms of real dollars th that's not even world war two spending we're we're surpassing that well. It's not going to be your children if it has negative impact on the economy. It's probably going to be felt in the form of inflation in the next year to you. I don't think it's our our Our parents generation engage in some deficit spending. And somehow we're still paying lower taxes than they did you know i. I don't think it's the the idea that there is deficit. Spending means that anyone's children are going to have to pay for it because the the Right now today. For instance. I think about eight percent of the federal budget is spent on interest on the debt and about twenty two percent of the federal budget is paid for by new borrowing. So you know it's always gonna be possible to to to keep more to pay and and as if you can't do right as a matter of fact we we know the points at which countries this is something that's been economically. You can just working out where when you're spending and borrowing surpass a certain level of your entire budget and in this would be a lot of times you end. This question like how much this put is near. Some of those levels of other countries changing potentially even our rating status. So i mean you fall. I don't think so. I don't think it could change. United states is not similarly situated to small countries. Were we're the reserve currency for the world. Where it where a place that. A lot of people want to invest skin. We did in fact have as you mentioned during world war. Two where we're the deficit was was larger than the than the amount of revenue erased. So we running deficits of more than one hundred percent and it didn't really in fact. We had pretty good economies in the years after the war when that when that deficit drop some stores handed higher tax rates. And that's where i think. Democrats are leading us down right one of the ways that was possible was you had a a a massively different tax base and different tax structure. So i mean you you know well. Here's the libertarian. Telling the democrat. Wait a second. There's you're doing this during a different a different type of revenue raising than you did during world war two but there's gonna be some tax reform. I'm not going to say it's going to be enough to pay for all this in the short run or anything but the long or well three probably never either. But i don't think it matters to pay it all off in the long run. And we've we've been managing to get by for about seventy five years without paying off debt in the long run and i should buy a mercedes though i mean but i again the way. The reconciliation rules work. Technically the filibuster-proof procedures can be used once each fiscal year for one spending bill for one separate taxing bill and for one separate bill to lift the debt ceiling. Now this year there may be able to be to each because fiscal year twenty twenty. One actually started back on october. First of twenty twenty which is the.

"Nine percent of the electric power grid in texas and natural gas accounts for about forty four point eighty two percent. So i've seen a lot of other outlets get different numbers. The best i can tell. Is that these numbers come. Because they're looking at the pure amount of power coming out as opposed to the power. That's going for grid consumption meaning for consumers so along the outlets in the left i think are really under reporting some of the most meaningful numbers and on the right. There's some real outright ront line going on including that wind turbines of frozen even though of course winner is them and they happened in far northern places and things congressperson.

Well you know we could talk about that forever clearly. Because we've got. We've got two more stories for listeners. And when we come back from this short breaks short break in the comeback. And we're actually going to be talking about. Maybe one of the biggest weather events that has happened in the south in modern history.

The deeply frigid temperatures which dipped into the western states. As a matter of fact. I'm part of this. So i've been experiencing it. There was an unprecedented amount of snow and cold.

"I don't know why here this is actually a fascinating point of history. So unlike all the other states rhode island had never created its own constitution and instead was still operating off of the royal charter and so citizens were demanding. The legislature either create a state constitution or at least the minimum. Get rid of the voting. The of land is voting requirement and the legislature. Wouldn't do either so go ahead. That's actually what leads to kind of happening. Is that both both factions that claim to be the legitimate government in rhode island claim claim that they hold their own separate elections and they claim to have won the elections. So there's two different slates of congress members that show up claiming to represent a rhode island. And so the governor declares martial law to try to get the other ones to not show up. Yeah and so. The supreme court is asked to resolve this dispute and with the supreme court says. Well it's actually. Congress gets to resolve this dispute because in the the qualifications clause of article one the each house of congress gets to judge the qualifications of its own members and so when people show up claiming to be members of hold the same seat in congress. The congress has to decide which one to recognize because the constitution assigns that to congress which is one of the political branches the white house being the other political branch. That means that the courts can't make that judgment and so so we sometimes called at the political question doctrine now that there's certain judgements that have to be made in trial like settings where we might normally think. This is the kind of case or controversy. That a court could you to kate. But if the constitution actually assigns the the resolution of those those disputes to one of the two political branches legislative rancher the executive branch then that means that the judicial branch has to stay out. So sometimes that's been used that's the basis of why impeachment proceedings for instance are not judicially. Reviewable the senate has the power to try impeachments and that means that when there were questions like the one that just came up about whether someone who is no longer in office can be tried in impeachment trial. The answer would be. The court has to stay out of that. That's up to the senate to decide. And that's why the senate took a vote on that and that was not reviewable in in court. So that is a doctrine. I don't believe it properly should apply to malaya its claws because there's no the constitution doesn't say which other branch should decide whether there's been a violation of the emoluments clause. So i think the ordinary presumption that courts can decide that should apply and the court didn't say that it applies they actually took jurisdiction over the case and then just just sat on it and so i think they've done that in several other contexts where they probably should have made a ruling about whether trump had broken the lar- exceeded his authority. And but i think they're gonna let them run out the clock on the On the emoluments case. I think they tried hard to let them. Run out the clock on the new york district attorney subpoenas and it would've would've worked if he'd been reelected because they kept even while they didn't say he was exempt from subpoenas in state criminal proceedings. They kept sending it back with weird instructions like the state court has to give you more consideration than they did. Last time to the fact that this guy is the sitting president and that kind of thing and i think they would have just kept bouncing it back and forth like that.

"Made an agreement not to call any witnesses because they they were afraid. The same thing would happen that the the witnesses refused to come and the supreme court would run interference by refusing to issue a ruling on that. So i think that kind of interference that the court has been running to just run out clocks in ways that favored trump. He's getting away with something. Using is running out is running out the clock because wants to favor trump. Or do you think it's running out the clock and this has been my kind of operating hypothesis because it doesn't a half to involve itself in a political question even remotely and thereby Lose some of its. It's reserved status You know there is a long standing history of the court attempting now of course as you move. Recently the court has eased up on this. Oh goodness i'm trying to think of what is the call called the political question doctrine. The idea that there's certain disputes between the political branches. That the court should just absent itself from. Yeah i mean. I think there's the problem is i think there's a mixture of motives on the current court rate so i think that Probably especially now that Judge justice barrett as on the court the the center of gravity on the court might be that if they were going to rule on these cases they would rule in favor of trump And so i think because of that. And i do think that's really become cemented by justice barrett's ascension to the core. I think that means that the democrats won't on the court don't kick and scream too hard. If chief justice roberts does these delaying tactics. And i think the delaying tactics from roberts's standpoint probably are as you say to try to preserve the legitimacy of the court in the eyes of the whole country and you're not sitting a precedent so by saying nothing. You don't set a precedent. We don't know in common law system. If you set the precedent now you have this long standing practice. You have to undo at some point and that's always that rarely happens. Yeah i'd actually rather see them set precedents because i think if they're really going to have a majority vote and rule in favor of trump in these cases because he's trump and their and their partisans which is what i believe is where the actual majority of the court is and i think that's those rulings that roberts is trying to forestall. It's better that they do it both so that Because i don't think they deserve the respect of of all americans if they're partisan and also because i think the president that they would set with those rulings could also then redound to the benefit of leader democratic presidents whereas if they're always just running running out the clock because it's trump and they want to help and then they do the opposite when there's a leader democratic president so so i really appreciate it but i think i think the dem's probably do think it's sometimes better to let republicans run out the clock than to actually make terrible rulings and and i think roberts thinks it's better to.

"Show how you think that a A political systems are best. Done when you can have. I was even trying to use your words as i was asking. You oftentimes talked about the loyal opposition. Surprised about that. I do believe that. But i think it's not a question of best. It's a question of second best right now right. So the the best of all would be a well-functioning two party system. But i'll stand by that. I've said it before. I'll say it again. I know that's where your question was coming. But i think we're in a world of second best right now and if the question is you know we have a two party system right now where in fact you know. The senate's divided fifty fifty. The house is closely divided. But i see that you know under current political circumstances. That's not so good because you have You know it doesn't give you the chance of achieving. Any kind of bipartisan accomplishments. If you've got such extreme polarization not only among the elected officials actually being demanded by their constituents the the the opposition party sees. It's only goal as to you know being to make the majority party failure and therefore to not to try to make deals with them about anything not to find points of mutual agreement or mutual interest but just to sabotage to the maximum extent. Possible the any kind of achievements. That can be good for the country. I that's the position we're actually in right now. And so i think i think from that it would actually move the country forward to eliminate that kind of dysfunction by having a period where one party was more dominant. And i i do think if you look at the nineteen thirties and into the early nineteen forties. Where you know. The country really wasn't able to deal with the great depression properly until you had basically you know significant one party rule and proudly couldn't have dealt with world war properly if we didn't have a significant one party rule and still at the end of world war two when when those enormous crises past and when the republican party had been so decimated for a decade that it it really had to rebuild. We benefited from you. Know pretty pretty good. Rebirth of the republican party. At that point in time. I think You know being in better shape than it's been in many other points in time after having suffered a decade of of not being part of our politics so i think that kind of cleansing of the situation where the parties can completely gridlock each other and make the government.

"Trump's going to be in no position to do anything about primary was a matter of fact for a little bit inside baseball it this past week trump me mcconnell had actually signaled to kentucky lawmakers that he'd like to see the rules for house. Senators are replaced if they leave. Midterm changed so that governors would actually be picking from a list of three or a shorter list. That's given to them in large part because of course. The the current governor of kentucky is from the opposite party of Of mitch mcconnell which might signal something right there about one the lines of what you're talking about. Yeah i saw that. But actually i don't expect mcconnell to voluntarily resign retire before the end of his six year term. I think he I interpret that. I do probably agree. It means he's not gonna run again. But i i would interpret. That is just mcconnell is always you know dot his. I's crossing his t's worried about you know hanging hanging onto the senate seats that are there and i think he's actually pushing that advice on a lot of other states as well that if there are states where there's a gubernatorial appointments to Feel vacancies if there's a democrat governor. I think he's just generally being his usual strategic tactical self and saying we gotta make sure that democratic governor can't possibly choose a democratic senator to fill a vacancy so i don't think he's actually signaling that he's planning to leave earlier that he thinks rand is gonna leave early. But but yeah mcconnell. I mean he he is in. He's in a complete capri seat to totally ignore trump. I think to the extent that there's any civil war at all even though i think mcconnell's absurdly stronger than trump in every possible respect. The one thing is there could be a civil war amongst the electorate because it probably is true that trump trump voters are more numerous faction now in the republican party. Then the type of voters that we would have thought of previously as establishment republican voters. So that's something that could go in a lot of different directions going forward but I don't know that trump or trump is is well organized enough to to to to seriously mounted a serious attack on the on the on the party leadership and i don't actually know that there are any successors trump out there that you know even though people like holly and crews are trying to kind of position themselves that way. I think those kind of people have much appeal to trump's actual voters. So i don't i don't really know how to read all that. What do you think you're funny because we don't often disagree. I think we we actually have a shade of disagreement. But not in the way that i would have imagined we would And i think that you're underestimating. The i don't disagree. When you you call the trump supporters disorganized. And i know what you mean by that. In other words they don't have a systematic way of of pushing the party forward But i think you need to be careful and you were hinting at it when you said about the electorate but of course the individuals are going to be coming into the part of me..

"Sullen and unsmiling political hack and republican senators are going to stay with him. They will not win again. That's a pretty. That's some pretty strong words. there can now. I'm going to turn it over to you. But i do want to say just one thing into this because again i have. I have a bit to fight here. And that's to say that if trump if he was listening. And i know he's not that my response to this little bit of statement he has here is trump. He's the embarrassment he's been the embarrassment to the conservative and libertarian alliance. That has always held together. The republican party and more than any other single person has shaken my fundamental belief of myself as a republican and so i think trump is one who created a tent that has included some of the most despicable groups including neo nazis and trying to bring them and successfully in many cases into the party. And i think that trump's going to go down without question in history along the likes of. Andrew jackson is the worst president in american history. So i've been pretty clear on where i stand but but Ken what do you think about this ongoing republican war and what it might mean for party realignment for politics in the upcoming twenty two thousand twenty two midterm elections. What do you think about this. I mean this is. This is some pretty intense public feuding. Yeah well i just got. I mean answered johnson. Enter jackson is still on the twenty dollar bill people. Some some people think he's a good president. Listen if you mass genocide people you're going to have to be in my book down just a little bit. So he's on the twenty dollar bill. I have you listen. He he is the single handed cause for how many countless other genocide i just. I can't get over that one. So i ain't him. Johnson is bad. I don't. I'm not trying to suggest that it was not. He's not my president. That's for sure. But i would have wreaked. Probably andrew johnson. James buchanan even a little lower. So i think trump. Yeah he's certainly going to be thought of that breath well in terms of civil war. You know it's a pretty one sided war because i think Mcconnell has absolutely no interest in even engaging in whatever war is going on at all. He's he has not responded. He's not going to respond respond. He doesn't need to respond. he doesn't i think he has said he's never gonna speak to trump again and he's probably never gonna speak of trump again. He's just. This nonsense has no impact on mcconnell at all even the idea that trump says he's going to primary mcconnell mcconnell just got re elected to a six-year term in twenty twenty if he wants to run again in twenty twenty six when he's about eighty five years old..

I'm going to be honest. I actually have a dog in this fight. Not going to sugar coat. That but so while i disagree with mcconnell on a lot of things i think he is right here. So here's what was said. Here's one went down on the floor of the senate. Mcconnell argued that americans a beat and bloodied their own police and attacked congress because quote they had been with fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth. Because he was angry he lost an election in quote he would go on to say on the senate floor That trump quilt quote practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day and quote. He also go on and say the quote. The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feigns surprise when people believe him and do reckless things in quote. So trump is kind of Then shot back and argued that the republican party is never going to be respected or strong again as long as quote unquote leaders. Like mcconnell are at the helm in trump's own words from his statement he said we know our america first.

People that never voted in the press in the election. You mail in boat. For them Democrats that's called politics in the first thing that happened eight o'clock that morning.

Uh, we're on our way back from the rally. But you want to give you my perspective on what we saw. We were pretty close. We saw the speech way went there to see the truth for ourselves. Um And way saw. You know the Trump supporters, which The name. You know, people are lumping people win. If if you're not a Democrat, you're you're automatically something out. You're nothing else. You can't be anything but a trump supporter, which is You know, so there's only two categories which couldn't be farther. But my point is this McConnell Trump wanted us to go up to the Capitol and support peacefully and let our presence and voice be heard. With no violence and most the people that I was around. I mean, everybody was super peaceful, But the important thing is that that I want you to know is There were We felt the they were in chief presents or whatever you want to say. There were. There were people with shin guards and knee pads and all that's in the bag and black and that's not what the A typical on air quote Trump supporters looked like you know these. I don't know anybody who said they did. I don't know anybody who said there's no anti fur there. They love a little. They love a little mix up wouldn't surprise me. There was some anti fur there, but so far everybody I've seen interviewed. Everybody I've read about who was arrested was a Trump supporter. All right. All right. Well, this is what one antifa guy who was identified, smashing the windows. He was identified Pretty early on, like yesterday. Pretty well known Antifa guy. He's the only one so far that is Antifa and I've seen a lot of people interviewed and I've read about a lot of people losing their jobs. And they were all trump supporters. The guy they honestly they probably got sucked into this Trojan horse plan that they had. And if you know the horned guy If you know anything about the horn guy he was pictured at video him and antifa dot org's okay. He's not what he's not what you think he is. He's not. He's not just riled Trump supporter with horns. He was a plant. They were going in under the guise of a Trojan horse. And by that they weren't in the horse. They were the horse was they were going in as Trump supporters. Did you watch that? You watch the video of all this. The people who are going through the road Rotondo almost everybody with a huge trump flag. Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Antifa. People don't march around with trump flags. Did you see the 10 child there they had they had they were posing for photo ops. McConnell This is a this is what does that have to do with it? What does that have to do with what we're talking about? It's a refinement, people and I'm gonna storm in of the chumps the border and my God it once I get in there, and we're gonna wait my auntie for flag around or am I gonna wear wave my by Trump Supporter flag around So So, the chin up all this anger. You know, there's been, you know, maybe you have been away from the news. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're gonna listen off here. Maybe you've been away from the news. They have Interviewed countless people who were part of this at the Capitol. Virtually every one of them said they support President Trump Period. It doesn't mean no one from Antifa was there but stop this ridiculous blame shifting, which you're trying to do. Suggesting this was in Antifa act that the poor trump supporters somehow got sucked into because that is not what happened. Honest, buddy. Let's be honest, Yeah, for for all summer long they've been left has been destroying and everything..

Yet if you were to listen to the rhetoric from the people covering this versus what you heard this summer, you would think Oh, my God. What's going on? Today was 10 times worse than what happened last summer. On DNO thing could be further from the truth. People have just well, Rick, The capital is a you know, it's a very consecrated place.

You know, just because you're a congressman or senator, People have finally figured out you're no smarter than anybody else.

If you're not a part of the political machine, you don't get anything done him to be a part of the political machine. The American people have very little, if anything to do with that. It's sorry. That's the way it is Jeremy and ponder Jeremy. Thank you for waiting. Hi, Rick. Love your show. I'm pretty fired up right now, Um, our car. Our government has been selling American people out for years. I'm 41 years old as far back as I can remember, they've been selling us out. On. They're getting elected. Tell us what we want to hear Pandering to us getting elected, going up there and getting rich off the backs of American people. The Republicans. We had one way to fight back. We don't burn cities.

They stole this election. I mean, they did everything but I mean it's stolen stolen election. The one man who stood up for us who gave us a voice who fought for the American people the way it should be. People like bite have been sun itself for 50 years. Trump stood up on national TV and said, no more no more. Are you going to sell out the American people? You're going to do your job you're gonna do what's right for America, America first.
