00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.679
Good to have you with us.
We've got the former ambassador and Congressman Francis

9
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.960
Rooney gonna be joining us in just
a moment, talk about Israel, hamas

10
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.039
congressional pressure to deal with the budget, a speaker problem. Oh, by

11
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:58.880
the way, the border, and
China. Francis Ronny, the former ambassador

12
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.040
and congressman from Floria Is nineteenth Congressional
District, is talking about the latest news

13
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:10.519
from the Middle East, potential geopolitical
consequences of a regional war, plus Congress

14
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.040
from the Brodjet negotiations to the impeachment
inquiry of President Joe Biden. Meanwhile,

15
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:23.120
our national security and local crime continues
to make us all increasingly unsafe here in

16
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.480
America. Ambassador, welcome to the
show. Good to have you with us,

17
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.239
Sir, thank you for having me
on. Well, if we can

18
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.359
talk about first of all, you
were the former ambassador for the Vatican,

19
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.439
and if you can give us a
little bit of background and what that was

20
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.680
like. Well, the Holy See
mission is a very unique one. It's

21
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.359
more like some of the other think
tank like Michigans, like the Organization for

22
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.640
Security and Cooperation in Europe, where
we don't have consular activities and financial activities

23
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.640
promoting US businesses. What we do
promote are the areas where the United States

24
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.920
and the we See are aligned in
their foreign policy objectives, things like human

25
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:12.639
rights, avoiding authoritarian governments, calling
them out fair elections. And when President

26
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.360
Bush and I were busy with the
Pope one time, we talked about fourteen

27
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.919
different countries where the US and the
Holy See had interests which were both aligned

28
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.439
and we were working in a somewhat
coordinated manner to deal with the problems that

29
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:30.520
we saw. And of course at
the time John Paul, right, John

30
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:38.400
Paul, the second Benedict John well, I was in the State Department's language

31
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:44.360
studying Italian. Okay, yeah,
and paulpe Benedict, I mean, what

32
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:49.000
a what a brilliant intellect. Well
he was, and he certainly got this

33
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.400
Muslim problem. Yes, he understood
it all the way. Well, something

34
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:59.879
got lost in translation because the current
Pope in his stance and his late latest

35
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.360
letter. I don't know about you, but it bothered me tremendously what he

36
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:09.919
had to say about about Hamas and
I believe and you know, I'm sorry

37
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.400
to say, I mean to say
this about the Pole, but you know,

38
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.800
I just think a grave misunderstanding as
to what's happening there. Well,

39
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.879
he said and written a lot of
things that are concerning to me. There's

40
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.719
no doubt about it. And this
is a replay of two thousand and seven

41
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.840
hesbol of war in Lebanon. And
we'd be much better off to have the

42
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.240
kind of strength of Pope Benedict than
what we see right now as far as

43
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:39.520
willing to willingness to call out the
violent brutality of these radical Islamic groups.

44
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.879
Well, and sometimes, as you
know, investor, you you have to

45
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:53.719
have the gravitas and belief in what
you hold to you know, your own

46
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.960
personal doctrine and sometimes you may just
have to, you know, just move

47
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.319
away from those that you thought you
were in alliance with. But it seems

48
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:06.159
the Pope, uh, this current
pope, Pope Francis more and more as

49
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:11.199
you say, things that he has
said have been problematic. Whether it has

50
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.479
to do in my humble opinion,
I'll bring up climate change, but certainly

51
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.839
what's happening in the Middle East.
Yeah, what he wrote lout atte C.

52
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:23.160
I talked to some of my old
contacts over there, and I said,

53
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.920
why didn't you guys also call out
those sorry governments over there in Africa.

54
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.399
They're taking all the money that Western
countries give them and just stealing it.

55
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.079
Right, They're culpable for climate change
as much as anybody there is.

56
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:38.519
Look at Nigeria, there's oil pits
all over that country. Yeah, now,

57
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.800
there's no doubt. And you know
this is all part of you know,

58
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.399
the Deep South. I think you
and I have discussed this before that

59
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.160
there's many layers to the deep state, and you know, now people are

60
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:55.079
starting to take a look at some
of these NGOs and you know, some

61
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.800
of the problems that this has created
that you know are they really looking out

62
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.199
or America's best interest. I mean, they have a lot of control,

63
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:08.560
a lot of power, and they're
moving outside of the you know, the

64
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:13.120
confines of the constitutional and oversight by
Congress. Well look at that. You

65
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.560
and a refugee relief agency exactly.
Fox mentioned this morning that the Biden administration

66
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:23.560
has given them seven hundred million dollars
and they're just nothing but a surrogate for

67
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.959
Romas, right, yeah, exactly. And this is what we see in

68
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.879
terms of what's prevailing is that and
here it's goofy. I mean for the

69
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.759
American citizen, they're going, wait
a minute, my tax pay, my

70
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:43.680
hard work earned money, and taxes
is going to our enemies like this.

71
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.879
I mean, who's watching the treasury? Nobody? But unfortunately Republicans don't watch

72
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.560
the treasury so good anymore either.
The first two years I was in Congress

73
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.959
and we had all three branches of
government, we spent as much per day

74
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:01.319
as the Obama administration had. It
was terrible. Why was that, Congressman?

75
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:06.480
Because these guys can't say no,
and everybody's got their hand out and

76
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:13.040
they're kind of weak. I mean, Paul Ryan had a bill, the

77
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.480
first one I ever saw when I
was first there a spending bill half a

78
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:20.879
billion dollars to bail out Puerto Rico. Every time we build Puerto Rico out,

79
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.040
the locals just steal it. Will
have to do it again, exactly.

80
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.800
Well, a combination, a combination
of locals. And also there are

81
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:33.600
those you know, these political buzzards
that hang over the wire and they follow

82
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:39.399
the money and when they see this, you know, people like the Clinton

83
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.839
Foundation, maybe a couple of others
that we you know. But at the

84
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.319
end of the day, if Puerto
Rico could pay back what it borrowed,

85
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.000
they'd be out of business. Yeah, exactly. And then we also did

86
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:54.639
four hundred million to bail out the
United Mine Workers Medical Plan. Ridiculous.

87
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.680
Are we going to bail out Social
Security? I mean, you know,

88
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:03.519
you get all these unions you know
that have guaranteed pension numbers right that we

89
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:09.240
we have to we have to make
sure that the projections are hit. If

90
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:14.439
not, you know, because you
know they don't manage their budgets correctly,

91
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.160
then we have to make up the
difference. But yet, when it comes

92
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.240
to Social Security, though, they've
had our money all these years and we're

93
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:26.040
able to get into the lock box
and basically steal from people who have put

94
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.920
their hard earned money into Social security. Now it's falling short, and I'm

95
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.279
sorry, you know, your your
cola adjustment is going to be a little

96
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:39.399
bit less this coming year because we're
a little bit short. But boy,

97
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.720
the unions are going to get their
full due, right, they always do.

98
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.600
That's why the building trades went from
being a very valuable source of trained

99
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:53.160
labor and construction for many many years
to be nothing but a way for business

100
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:57.120
agents and union stewarts to suck off
extra revenue. That's why we got rid

101
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.560
of them. Yeah, and and
but that was just a start. It

102
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.639
needed to keep on going. Maybe
we wouldn't be at thirty three trillion dollars

103
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:11.199
in debt and here we are with
an open border and Joe Biden just keeps

104
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.759
throwing money at the problem and instead
of really coming up with real solutions and

105
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.879
doing you know, the hard work
of governance. But you know, that

106
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.519
just seems to be the and I
hate to put like you said, it's

107
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.040
both sides. It happens, you
know, just because of the belt weigh

108
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:30.600
disease, I guess, and you
experienced it firsthand. They had to be

109
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.200
frustrating for you. Well, you
know, as hw Besh she used to

110
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.679
say, making a payroll. His
one of his slogans in eighty eight was,

111
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.639
I've made a payroll. These guys
have never done that. It's not

112
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.600
their money, it's funny money.
And that's a real problem. I think

113
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.840
that Biden's been in public life.
It's whole life. It's all I know

114
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.360
is yeah, yeah, he doesn't
know. He doesn't know about signing the

115
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.120
front of the check as they say, right, no, And we need

116
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.399
term limits in the worst way round
here. Yeah, yeah, really,

117
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:03.679
and you know, maybe maybe maybe
all this is happening in such a way

118
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:09.080
Ambassador that uh you know, we
the people agree that that's what we have

119
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:16.879
to resolve because whether it's Biden's mental
condition obviously mental uh uh shortfall, and

120
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.759
that's on display, you know,
for all the world to see, and

121
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.759
uh, you know, and here
it is, you know, Diane Feinstein.

122
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:30.679
We even have a senator that has
been elected from Pennsylvania that is mentally

123
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.840
impaired. I mean, what is
going on here? Yeah? It it

124
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.120
The people need to speak, okay, and these politicians are very clever.

125
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:45.399
You have the the advantage of the
incumbency you basically get to market yourself on

126
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.399
the government's money. Yes, and
you build up this name I D and

127
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.960
most people go in there and that's
the only name they recognize, so they

128
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.600
vote for you. Yeah, And
and everybody says they're for term limits,

129
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.320
but they know it requires a constitutional
amendment, which is never going to have

130
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.080
And I'm not sure I'd want it
to happen because who knows what might happen.

131
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.759
But so they are just basically not
playing straight with the American people.

132
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.279
I did introduce a term moment's bill
that just said your salary stops after twelve

133
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:20.519
years. I was roundly criticized by
both Mitch McConnell and Schumer. Yeah,

134
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.960
how dare you turn the table upside
down and try to make sense of it

135
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:31.360
all? Because you know, what's
what's the return of investment, you know

136
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:39.840
from the American people when sadly the
job of being that that's that servants politician

137
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:46.519
has gone away and it's been long
past. And you know, people understand

138
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.600
when they get elected that it's about
getting re elected, and when that's your

139
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.120
ambition instead of serving the people,
a lot gets lost in translation. I'm

140
00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:01.639
sure you would admit absolutely the founders
never would have expected a political class.

141
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.600
In fact, part of the revolution, reason for the revolution was to get

142
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:11.600
away from a political class. Well, and George Washington did everything he could,

143
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:13.039
you know, to avoid it.
They wanted, you know, old

144
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:18.320
habits die hard. I mean,
you know, the whether it was the

145
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:24.080
founders or you know, those that
made up you know, the populations that

146
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.679
existed in the colonies. It wasn't
that there was one hundred percent agreement for

147
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.879
this democratic republic. You know,
some of them carried in their mind still

148
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.919
having a king. That's what they
were used to. And so this was

149
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:46.399
quite revolutionary to allow the people to
exercise their own choice and to exercise their

150
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.240
own giftings. And wow, what
a revolution. I mean, you think

151
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:56.639
about it, how America was able
to rise to glory just by allowing its

152
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:03.799
constituency, we the people, to
do what we do best. Yeah,

153
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.159
that's right. That's why it's been
the unique experience that has served us well.

154
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.720
I worry about it now. I
worry about these younger generations who poll

155
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:16.440
that they're not so hot on capitalism
or democracy. They seem to just be

156
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:22.960
really interested in pleasure, right,
And you know the statistics about how few

157
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.720
eighteen to twenty four year olds can
meet the military physical and mental requirements right

158
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.960
well, and and well no doubt. I mean, look, what's happening

159
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.320
in public education. This is why
there's such an exodus. You know,

160
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.600
parents are realizing and I guess that's
one of the benefits if there's you know,

161
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.759
some benefit out of COVID is parents
saw what happened, what was happening

162
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.799
in public schools. And of course, you know I was talking to somebody

163
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.200
else about this, ambassador, is
that you know, we've been saying for

164
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.279
a number of years that America is
at that tipping point. Well, what

165
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.840
happens on the other side of that
tipping point? You pick up speed?

166
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.840
And this is what I see what's
going on on. I mean, you

167
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:05.080
know, two years ago we were
talking about you know, sex transitioning and

168
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.039
puberty blockers and all this stuff that's
going on, and here it is that

169
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:16.399
you know, it's it's permeated the
ethos of our military. I mean,

170
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.720
what is that what's going to be
the new slogan? You know that we're

171
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.320
looking for a few good men that
we can transition in the military. I

172
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.679
mean, is that is that what
we're looking at? Well? I'm glad

173
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.559
you brought up the military. You
know, we spent eight hundred billion a

174
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:35.120
year on military. Half of the
world's annual military expenditures is done by the

175
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.080
United States. China's less than three
hundred. But they seem to be able

176
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.399
to build all kinds of ships,
submarines. We don't seem to be able

177
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.200
to build anything. All we're doing
is building bases to satisfy congressmen, so

178
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.039
we'll give them more money and to
worry about all these non military issues that

179
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.000
you just mentioned. Yes, well, it's no wonder that the military is

180
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:03.240
falling short in their recruitment because I
mean, even as wonky and as woke

181
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.559
as this generation is right now,
they're not buying into you know, all

182
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.200
this pronoun and this diversity stuff.
You know, they've been, you know,

183
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.039
rather spoiled, you know, and
I think that, like, you

184
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.000
know, when you and I were
growing up, Ambassador, you know,

185
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.679
our parents came out of the world's
greatest generation. They opened up an incredible

186
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.919
amount of opportunity for us, and
then for the kids that we bore,

187
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.639
we even gave them more opportunity,
to the point that we kind of hurt

188
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:39.080
them, we crippled them in the
process and turned them into you know,

189
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.480
people that were more focused on entitlement. It's like they they were entitled for

190
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:48.480
performance trophies. You know, they
deserved it, just because they were breathing.

191
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:54.440
This idea of merit and hard work
somehow got lost in translation. And

192
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.240
it agrees to me to think that, you know, this is what we've

193
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.480
done to our kids. Yeah,
and I'm afraid it's getting work with the

194
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.960
generation younger than them, the ones
that were born like nineteen ninety eight and

195
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.759
on or something, right, I
mean, look at this business about Israel.

196
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.080
Yeah, that these young people are
sympathetic with a bunch of radical,

197
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:20.559
brutal Islamic terrorists. Yeah, and
how can they be so ignorant? I

198
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:22.279
mean, here's this generation that says, oh, you know, we know

199
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.759
about technology and social media, but
like anything, they're pick and choose,

200
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.840
you know, what their form of
indoctrination is. And you know, we

201
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:37.279
were talking about this earlier that people
want to blame the professors. I think

202
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.480
the professors certainly have participated in the
indoctrination. But the other thing that we're

203
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.720
failing to see here, ambassador,
is that we're dealing with kids that have

204
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:50.159
been you know, have come to
the country on a you know, on

205
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.399
an educational visa. They come here
and they bring with them the hatred that's

206
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.879
in their heart. And I'm talking
about these kids particularly that were raised Mud,

207
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.840
that we're taught to hate, to
hate Jews, and that ancient hatred

208
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:08.960
has been something that's been passed from
generation to generation. Some refer to it

209
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:15.200
as ancient hatred because it's that old
and that consistent. And here we are

210
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:21.879
in America without even realizing, we've
imported that hatred into our school system and

211
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.919
adding to the indoctrination of our kids
what they're getting. And then of course,

212
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.879
oh, let's open up the borders
to you know, six seven million

213
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:36.720
new people who are being controlled by
the cartels, and they have their own

214
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:41.279
doctrine as well. I mean,
we're losing so much about the greatness and

215
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:47.840
history of what America is all about. I don't know what it's going to

216
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:51.559
take, Ambassador, for us to
you know, change our evil ways and

217
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:55.279
to write the ship here. Well, you make a lot of very good

218
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.879
points. I remember back in two
thousand and five, when I was an

219
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:03.519
ambassador in Rome, we were fighting
to make sure that when schools allowed kids

220
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.960
field trips to mosques. They also
did the same thing to churches and synagogues

221
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.359
and they resisted. Yeah, this
is make it two thousand and five.

222
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.559
Yeah, and you know, not
to mention this business going on now,

223
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:19.880
you know, you make another point
that people don't know enough. It's easy

224
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:26.279
to be deluded when you're ignorant.
In nineteen twenty nine, Palestinians murdered a

225
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.279
bunch of Jews. There wasn't even
a state of Israel. They just don't

226
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.839
like Jews. Yeah. Now the
state of Israel is just a whipping boy

227
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.240
for him. Now. Yeah,
Yeah, this has been going on.

228
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:42.799
Like I said, this has been
going on for generations, and Israel knows

229
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:48.960
firsthand. I mean, if they
didn't know beforehand, they certainly learned it.

230
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:55.000
In World War Two they saw evil, evil killed six million Jews and

231
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:59.680
they came away with this idea that
never again. And here it is.

232
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:06.680
I mean, they've tried to go
along with the international community, and every

233
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.200
time they've compromised their principles, Ambassador, they've paid a price for it.

234
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:18.359
And America as well. You know, I was sharing with our viewers on

235
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:27.279
another segment that John McTiernan did extensive
research when America and America's presidents particularly would

236
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:33.240
interfere with God's foreign policy with Israel
and push a two state solution. What

237
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:38.359
followed within forty eight hours was a
natural disaster on this country. To the

238
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:44.000
tune that they're so well documented,
this is empirical evidence probably close to a

239
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:48.960
trillion dollars worth of damage from natural
disasters that you can say, interesting.

240
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:56.279
You know, whenever we interfere with
God's foreign policy and his land, we

241
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:02.319
get clabbered. You'd think we might
learn a less and by now, yeah,

242
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:07.640
you would think the other lesson there. First of all, I think

243
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.960
the road to served them ought to
be required reading of every college kid.

244
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.000
They should have to take a test
on it. Because if you go back

245
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:19.880
and look at the Hitler situation,
the Linen situation, these guys know the

246
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.920
same play They always played the same
playbook. You get of religion and you

247
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:29.559
destroy the press. Once you get
rid of religion in people's lives, they

248
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.000
have no moral compass, they can
do really bad things, and you get

249
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:34.480
rid of the free press, so
no one knows what you're doing. Yeah,

250
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.920
speech and speech, free press exactly
appreciate. And when these guys come

251
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.839
after Jews, that that's kind of
like the first lieutenant out of the hill.

252
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.640
Take them after everybody else too,
exactly. I mean, the Catholic

253
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:52.440
Church made deals with Hitler that were
only an embarrassment later when they got kicked

254
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.400
out once Hitler got a hold of
the Jews, and they even got after

255
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:00.160
the Lutherans, that's their own church, right exactly. A. And then

256
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.319
we're finding out that how the New
York Times ambassador gave cover to Hitler.

257
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:08.799
I mean, you know, the
mainstream media, how they chose the wrong

258
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:12.039
side, and you know, all
that stuff gets kind of, you know,

259
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:18.440
pushed below the radar, below any
kind of conversation. But you know,

260
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.799
so what we're seeing with the mainstream
media should not be a surprise.

261
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.079
This is what they've always done,
instead of holding to the ideal, like

262
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.079
you and I were talking about these
First Principles that gave us the great American

263
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:34.960
idea, to hold to the standard, to remind Congress, to remind we

264
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:38.359
the people. Hey wait a minute, this is what we're about. They

265
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:44.799
don't report on that. They unfortunately, they bust a bubble, as some

266
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:51.039
would say in the corporate vernacular,
and they get inside and they choose sides

267
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:57.960
and abandon their protection under the First
Amendment and their reason to exist. Yeah,

268
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:04.000
we could use a lot more ll
style journalism unless political proselytizing, well,

269
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:07.359
without a doubt. I mean it's
like, okay, you know,

270
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.920
we got three hundred and fifty million
people out there with opinions, and we

271
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.799
need somebody who is really pushing the
facts, don't we. Yeah, it'd

272
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.240
be helpful to have the facts.
Then you can make an opinion that's based

273
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:22.039
on something instead of ether. Yes, exactly. Well the other thing too,

274
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.799
when we're talking about what's been going
on in education, this abandonment of

275
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.839
critical thinking, Investador, I mean, the kids have been dumbed down.

276
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:37.279
We've all been mediocritized. This is
what you know, what communism, what

277
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:44.799
Marxism does. It takes away and
inhibits your ability to speak, to have

278
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:48.440
a free press, to have a
free conversation, and in that process we

279
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:56.880
end up, you know, kind
of you know, causing self affliction upon

280
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:03.039
ourselves in the process by dumbing ourselves
down, and you know, entering a

281
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:07.440
new venue of mediocrity. Yeah,
that's what Jules Verne's time Machine was all

282
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:12.960
about. We're becoming a nation of
egoy and sooner or later some warlocks are

283
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:18.680
didn't come take us down. It's
reported that Jules vern Theodore Roosevelt asked him

284
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:22.079
to come to the White House after
he wrote that and asked him, could

285
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.880
it really get this bad? I
think we're living some of that right now.

286
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.599
Well, no doubt it's not only
going to get this bad, but

287
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.039
it can get worse. Left to
our own devices. We saw you know,

288
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:38.519
what's what you know? And witness
what happened nine days ago there in

289
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:42.319
the Middle East. Ambassador, what
do you see happening here? I mean,

290
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:48.079
Joe Biden has called some ships you
know, to to the Mediterranean.

291
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:53.400
Uh, there's some question and discussion. I had this discussion with a former

292
00:22:53.440 --> 00:23:00.240
Pentagon official this morning that he felt
that if if he was going to use

293
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:06.759
the ships in some military muscle as
a deterrent against Iran, then they need

294
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:11.640
to be they need to be closer
to Iran. But where they are right

295
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.680
now, it's almost like they're,
you know, kind of serving more as

296
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:22.279
a restraint to Israel than as support
for Israel. Well, they did send

297
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:26.039
some of those refueling tankers over there
where they could fly up over Jordan or

298
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:32.000
maybe up into Turkey and refuel them
before they dip down into Iran. Right,

299
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:34.440
But you know, at least at
least he sent something over there,

300
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.079
and at least he's speaking up clearly
as clearly as he can do for it.

301
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.519
That's a good start. Now,
it's not so great that they've given

302
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:47.079
seven hundred million to that UN Refugee
Relief Agency, which is nothing but a

303
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:51.559
surrogate for Hamas. Right. I
don't like our money going to Amass Right,

304
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:55.279
Well, that's that's done. And
the six billion, I mean they're

305
00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:59.799
trying to freeze that or control it
in such a way. Anthony Blincoln has

306
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:03.880
been pretty direct about that, but
they've gotten quiet about, you know,

307
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.839
the inner workings and as you and
I were talking about where you had an

308
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:15.039
insider within the administration that lift the
sanction on Iran's ability to sell oil to

309
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.720
China, which they were not allowed
to be able to do that. So

310
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:22.680
you know, the net increase for
Iran is anywhere. I mean, i've

311
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:27.079
heard est them in sixty billion,
maybe one hundred billion dollars worth of cash

312
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:30.519
flow to Iran. Well here they
are, I mean, if their ambition

313
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:36.279
is to continue to fund terrorism.
Boy, the United States has been very,

314
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:38.519
very good to Iran. Well,
I think we almost have a death

315
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.960
wish when it comes to Iran.
It all started with Obama and Valerie Charrett

316
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.960
and all those people. I mean, the first Iranian deal was terrible.

317
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:51.559
Can't inspect their military basis is where
they're doing all the dirty staff. They

318
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:55.559
kicked out the UN inspectors. We
continue to give them their money back and

319
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:57.720
they just do more bad things to
us. And like you say, allowing

320
00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:00.200
selling the oil to China, I
mean, why should we do that.

321
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:06.920
Let's try to buy the will from
from the Arabs and isolated on. Fortunately,

322
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:10.000
we don't need to to buy anybody's
oil. If Biden woul quit making

323
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.039
more on the patroy of industry,
right, I mean, well, look

324
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:15.759
what he did in his first day. I mean he put us, He

325
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:21.279
put us into this inflation spiral.
And you know, probably what will happen,

326
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:25.519
just like the saying that happened with
you know, with Obama. Uh,

327
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:27.440
you know, later on, you
know, another three and four months

328
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:32.240
down the road, these brilliant economists
will come back and admit and say,

329
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:34.799
well, the truth is we've been
in a recession, you know for the

330
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:38.359
last you know, last six months. Anyway, kind of deal well,

331
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:42.599
you know whatever, the economy is
painful, it is clabbered, the middle

332
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:47.400
class, everything, it seems.
I mean, I can't come with,

333
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.880
you know, with any good answer
when somebody asked me, can you give

334
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.759
me one good thing that Joe Biden
has done? And bestad? I mean,

335
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:02.480
you've been there, You've been on
the Beltway. You have a better

336
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:07.000
perspective and experience. I mean,
is there something positive that we can say

337
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.839
about this administration? Not much.
I mean you could say he said good

338
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.519
words about Israel, and he called
those two aircraft carriers over there, but

339
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.000
it's been a disaster. I mean, here we're going to take We have

340
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:23.359
all the natural gas we or most
of the world would ever need right here

341
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:27.599
in the United States. Exactly.
We could be burning getting rid of coal

342
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:34.480
with the carbon tax, and burn
natural gas to fuel electric power plants.

343
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:40.359
Okay, but we still don't need
electric vehicles because every electric vehicle creates a

344
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:44.480
lot of strip mines for lithium and
nickel and cobalt in a lot of really

345
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:49.799
bad places like China and the Democratic
Republic of Congo. And with this natural

346
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:55.119
gas, how many of our allies
could we help? Well, yeah,

347
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:59.200
look at Europe's living off our natural
gas right now exactly. I mean,

348
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:02.000
you know, German and he thought
they could get weird for a minute,

349
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:06.920
and then they found out, uh, you know, maybe they needed to

350
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:10.519
regain their senses. But again this
has come down to, you know,

351
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:14.839
some common sense issues. And you
know, you see with the polling,

352
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.839
uh, more and more Americans,
you know, are rejecting the policies of

353
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:23.200
Joe Biden. They're rejecting Joe Biden, Kamala Harris. Uh. You know,

354
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:30.160
so it is absolutely critical that we
we get somebody uh in uh,

355
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:34.640
you know, in the White House
that is pro American and gets us back

356
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:38.400
on the right track. You know, I thought we had four years of

357
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:42.319
a taste of how good it could
be and uh, and that was in

358
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:47.519
spite of all the resistance that the
Democrats and Nancy Pelosi put up, you

359
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:52.279
know, two impeachment processes and that. Uh. But America was still winning

360
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.759
in spite of that. Yeah.
I was in the Congress during that time,

361
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:00.319
and the biggest problem really to me
was the Senate. You know,

362
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.799
we would try to pass all these
laws. We did pass all these laws

363
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:10.319
in the House that undermined all the
anti business, anti capitalism activities that Obama

364
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:11.880
put in place, but we couldn't
get any of it through the Senate,

365
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.279
so Trump had to do them by
executive order. But that could be changed

366
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:19.000
by the next guy, which has
been done right well. And the other

367
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.599
thing too, I mean, look
what he did to regulation nation. I

368
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:25.400
mean, initially it was like for
every new regulation, I get rid of

369
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.519
too. And I think at one
point, did you know, because you

370
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.960
were there, you know, probably
as many as eighteen twenty regulations were stripped

371
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.759
for every new one, so we
really had set that back. And of

372
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:41.759
course, again what a lot of
people don't understand was how many moles that

373
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:48.200
were left in the government that the
Obama administration had done and reclassifying, you

374
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:51.279
know, some of these government officials, so they made them part of the

375
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:56.359
government and the bureaucracy as opposed to
the administration. So instead of you know,

376
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:00.279
being deployed out of the administration,
they were given a home to live

377
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:06.240
in and a way that they could, you know, muck up the works

378
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:11.119
for this administration coming in. Well, look at the voting statistics of Washington,

379
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:15.079
d C. And Arlington in Fairfax
and Montgomery County, Maryland. Arlington

380
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.400
in Fairfax, Virginia, they're like
high nineties Democrat all the time. So

381
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:23.359
you know what you got exactly?
Yeah, I mean, or if you

382
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:27.400
happen to go to court and you
happen to be a January sixth protester,

383
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.279
forget it. You know, we
just talked to Jake Lang who's in jail.

384
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:41.480
He just surpassed one thousand days in
jail without due process. His case

385
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.200
was just he was supposed to go
before the court and they canceled that,

386
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.519
they postponed it. And I asked
him, I just said, straight out,

387
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:51.920
Jake, what do they want from
you? And he said, well,

388
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:57.759
what they want is that anybody that
denounces President Trump and the America First

389
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:03.200
Movement, they're the ones that get
lighter sentences. If you stand on your

390
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.720
on your beliefs, then you know
they're messing with you, and you are

391
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.240
you know, they're throwing the whole
book at you. And you know that's

392
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.319
sad that this is what we're doing. But this is the weaponization, this

393
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.519
is law fair as they call it. I mean, you know, it's

394
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.240
hard to keep up and understand all
that President Trump, the former president,

395
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:27.759
is going through ambassador with all these
different court cases and and here we are

396
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:36.279
in the middle of a presidential campaign, and uh, his popularity continues to

397
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:44.319
to skyrocket because because of you know, the unconstitutional treatment of this former president.

398
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.039
Yeah. I mean, I'm probably
a little more nuanced about him than

399
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:53.519
you are, but he is his
own worst enemy. Oh, I kid,

400
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:57.519
I don't think the same by any
means. Master I. I I

401
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:03.000
agree with that, but I think
that still in terms of due process and

402
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:07.319
what our constitution calls for and the
kind of antics that you know, the

403
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:11.480
way they've come after them, it
just doesn't it just doesn't seem right.

404
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.599
Well, I certainly agree with the
politicization of the FBI and the Justice Department

405
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.200
because I read all the data on
the Stroke memo and the Carter page and

406
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.960
all that, and that's just crooked
as can be. They abused the PISIS

407
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:26.119
system and went all the way up
to McCabe and Kombe and all those guys,

408
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.519
and they didn't have any It was
fake evidence from the Hillary Clinton campaign

409
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.480
that we were using and they were
using. And that's a scary thing when

410
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:38.599
the bureaucracy becomes weaponized like that.
How many millions of dollars did it cost

411
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:45.000
the people to execute that whole phone
narrative that was brought to you by Hillary

412
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:51.200
Clinton. Yeah, it's just not
good. The bureaucracy is supposed to be

413
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:55.880
impartial, even if they're Democrat or
at least sixty forty. But what they

414
00:31:55.920 --> 00:32:00.880
did in that case was like a
Russia oh after at a cheek takeof yeah,

415
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:04.039
exactly. Well, and the deal
is even like that. I don't

416
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.000
know if you saw it. This
weekend, Leon Panetta was asked and Brett

417
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:12.359
Baer about all that passed out because
he asked him the question about did he

418
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:19.359
have any regrets signing that document along
with those fifty intelligence officials saying the Hunter

419
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:25.960
Biden laptop was Russian disinformation? And
Panetta's answer was unbelievable. I mean,

420
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.839
there was no regret whatsoever. He
stood the line, felt that he was

421
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:40.160
still justified and offered no apology.
H That Putter Biden is really a problem.

422
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.160
I mean, if there's any justice
in this country, he should go

423
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:46.720
to jail. Yeah, well,
men, Indez needs to go with him

424
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:52.400
too. That's a Democrat, the
other right Democrat version of it, right,

425
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:57.400
exactly. Well. You know the
thing is again we've got to return

426
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.039
to the rule of This is all
part and parcel of this country back on

427
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:02.880
track. You've got to what seventy
one percent of America says, we're on

428
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:07.160
the wrong track. Okay, good
observation. Where does the right track look

429
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:10.400
like? Go ahead? Well,
yeah, I think the right track looks

430
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:15.160
like a lot of things. Okay, parent rights of education, which you

431
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:22.680
alluded to this getting off of these
ridiculous subjects in colleges and getting back to

432
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:24.839
some serious learning. I like,
I say, I'd like to make everybody

433
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:29.119
take a test on the road to
serve them if it was me, you

434
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:32.960
know, having it where these great
college our high school kids may eighty percent

435
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.599
or ninety percent of them graduate instead
of thirty or forty. Right, you

436
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:39.720
know, we're turning out a bunch
of functional I literates to satisfy the teachers'

437
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:44.640
union exactly. Well, you know
you talk about the road to serve them.

438
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.759
One of the things that I've suggested. You know, here we are

439
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:54.920
in Florida, which you know,
during spring break becomes the party capital of

440
00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:58.920
the world. And I'm saying,
look at, give me a day,

441
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:00.799
give me a day. Bring those
kids. We're going to bust them down

442
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:07.039
to Caya Ocho down in Miami to
meet with the Cuban uh, you know,

443
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:14.199
the Cuban refugees, those that are
now American citizens, but those who

444
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:16.440
have families still in Cuba. To
be able to talk to these kids,

445
00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:21.760
to tell them what real communism really
looks like. Could you imagine the benefit

446
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:24.480
of that. I mean, that's
that's better than the semester. I believe

447
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:28.519
on any college campus. That's a
great idea. You could do it too,

448
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:32.199
for you could do the morning in
Kyocho and you could do the afternoon

449
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:37.559
over in Durrell. Exactly Whalans tell
you the same story. That's how Trump

450
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:42.440
carried Florida was the Venezuelan votes from
Durrell. Yeah. Plus on top of

451
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:45.840
that, when you're in both those
places, you're going to get great eating.

452
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:52.039
Yeah right, the Cuban food better
than the yeah right exactly. But

453
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:57.840
I just think that in terms of
blessing these kids and giving them, you

454
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:01.599
know, some real life experience,
because something has got to shock them into

455
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:05.840
reality here in Bessad, Because like
you said, you know, we talk

456
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:09.119
about this current generation is very entitled. The next one behind it even worse.

457
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:13.480
Yet. I mean this is we've
got to break this cycle. We've

458
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:17.360
got to bring these these kids I
mean, as parents, as grandparents of

459
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:22.920
these kids, we've got to bring
them to some form of reality to understand

460
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:27.320
what's going on that. You know, we're in a unique position here with

461
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.239
this great American idea, this idea
that you know, it's a government by

462
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:37.239
we people of for and by and
for we the people, and what that

463
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:44.480
means in terms of a statement of
activation and commitment that it's on us.

464
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:47.199
You know that we have the government
in this democratic republic. We have the

465
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:50.960
government we deserve. We have the
government that we've elected. You know,

466
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:54.000
yeah, we deserve what we're getting. And you're right. Democracy takes work,

467
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:59.559
yes, And authoritarian regime or king
or queen done taking work. They

468
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:02.119
just do it good, beat or
ugly. Yeah. And look at those

469
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:07.400
Palestinians that are trapped there by Hamas. You know, it was interesting how

470
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:14.280
this conversation went because you know we're
talking about that. You know, in

471
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:20.519
two thousand and five Hamas came in
shortly thereafter they went an election. These

472
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:24.079
Palestinians put them in place, and
some of the Palestinians are saying, wait,

473
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:28.280
I didn't vote, I didn't vote
for them. Well, not enough

474
00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:35.079
of you, uh somehow whatever,
maybe maybe somehow Hamas compelled you or somehow

475
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:40.239
Hamas cheated or whatever, and and
the person said, well, kind of

476
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:44.480
like what happened to America the last
time. I ol, maybe you know

477
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:49.800
so well. You know, there's
some severe doctrinal issues with Islam, Yes,

478
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:52.000
And Pope Benedict called him out and
got all kinds of grief around the

479
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:55.639
world. But what he said was
basically, they have to come to terms

480
00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:59.639
with the twenty first century, the
twenty first Strey's not going to go back

481
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:02.559
to the eight right, and it's
up to us to enforce that dictum around

482
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:07.760
the world. And so I'm sure
that there's a lot of Palestinians and Gaza

483
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:12.079
that are harmless, innocent people trying
to take care of their family and avoid

484
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:15.559
all sides that aren't political. But
the uh, there's a lot of people

485
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:22.159
that the doctrine effects, even if
they're not Hamas per se, they still

486
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:27.440
have that deep seated antipathy towards any
non Muslim. Right. Yeah, because

487
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:32.880
when you are indoctrinated from birth that
this is your worldview, it is a

488
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:37.159
challenge. But I will tell you
when I was in Israel, you know,

489
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:42.920
Arabs said to me, they said, we feel safer coming into the

490
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:47.639
areas that Israel controls than the Arab
areas. I said, that's interesting.

491
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:51.880
Yeah, there's a lot of people
that are more than glad to be in

492
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:55.719
those Israeli occupied areas. Yeah,
and so you say, okay, well,

493
00:37:55.719 --> 00:38:00.400
then you know, somehow the Palestinians
have got to move away from this

494
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:07.360
old dictate that Yasir Arafat had put
out there and others that said, you

495
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:13.559
cannot negotiate with Israel. If you
negotiate, if you give up one ioda

496
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:21.679
of land to Israel, your family
and yourself, you will be killed.

497
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:25.920
You deserve nothing short of death.
And so you know, their, uh,

498
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:32.960
their end goal consistently has been the
total eradication of Israel. So you

499
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.000
know, how do you negotiate with
them? You're just negotiating against funeral arrangements,

500
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:40.719
right, Yeah. Towards the end
of Bill Clinton's term, Hud Brock

501
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:47.880
met with some people from the CIA
and in the State Department and Arafat and

502
00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:52.239
Brock put down on a piece of
paper everything. Arafat asked for everyone just

503
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:54.400
right there and said, we'll do
all this for you. We'll do it

504
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:59.239
for you right now. An Airfat
stump out of the room. He didn't

505
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:01.320
want a second stay, he didn't
want peace. He needed a whipping boy

506
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:05.800
to stay in power and continue to
get a lot of money from the Arabs.

507
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:08.840
And that's why George Bush wouldn't negotiate
with it. George Bush said,

508
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:14.360
I'm not going to negotiate with a
terrorist. Well, and look and look

509
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:17.159
what happened. You know. Trump
finally asked the questions, why why are

510
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:25.079
we allowing the Palestinians to direct peace
in the Middle East. Let's let's forget

511
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:30.639
them, Let's go and deal with
Saudi Arabia and others. And under the

512
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:36.440
Abraham Accords, we had four Arab
nations ready to sign on. Unfortunately,

513
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:42.360
I mean, if Trump had been
re elected, we'd have had those signers

514
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:47.239
and the peace agreements would have been
consummated. But of course we know where

515
00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:52.920
it stands right now, and we
were so close to again consummating the deal

516
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:58.960
with Saudi Arabia, and sadly,
I hear that Saudi Arabia has now kind

517
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:05.840
of somehow I gues as they're having
some conversations with Iran and moving away you

518
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:10.159
know from this agreement. Yeah,
that's a problem with all those Arab countries

519
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:15.880
is they have real difficult with their
backbone. Yeah, and they don't.

520
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:22.119
It doesn't take much to get them
off of anything bold like Saddat did or

521
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:27.000
any of that kind of stuff.
Right, And well, what do they

522
00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:30.719
think? What is what is Saudi
Arabia thing? What does the crown prince

523
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:34.800
think? That Iran's not going to
go nuclear? And they've already said,

524
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:37.159
look at if they go nuclear,
we got to go nuclear where there's going

525
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:42.119
to be a nuclear arms race in
the Middle East, And so they you

526
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:44.559
know, they're fearful that that's going
to happen. I don't care. You

527
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:47.920
can right now have a Kumbaya moment
with Iran because they know how to play

528
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:52.519
the game and they know they'll lie
straight to your face. We know that,

529
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:57.880
and so all right, so you
acquiesce just like everybody else has been

530
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:04.079
acquiescing to their evil ways. And
have we had any change whatsoever, any

531
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:07.920
benefit from all the billions or trillions
of dollars that have been invested in the

532
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:14.360
name of peace with these people that
are untrustworthy. No, you can't negotiate

533
00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:17.400
with an untrustworthy person. You learn
that in business and in labor negotiations,

534
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:21.920
and you know, you know what
Winston Churchill said about appeasement right, that

535
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:25.000
it's like a guy feeding a crocodile
and the hope that he gets eaten last.

536
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:30.000
It doesn't do any good. We
need strength, portray strength and foreign

537
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:35.639
policy and portray unity, unity with
the other developed countries that keep getting begged

538
00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:38.559
for money by the undeveloped countries and
to get it our way, right,

539
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:43.800
Well, what is going on with
our State Department? I mean they've lost

540
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:50.719
some sense of vision to be able
to coalesce. You know, these alliances

541
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:53.519
that you're referring to, Well,
I think a lot of them like to

542
00:41:53.519 --> 00:42:00.280
be liked too much. It's not
their money, our money, and they

543
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:02.960
always want to go make friends,
and they want to give that money to

544
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:06.679
the Refugee Agency, even though they
admitted it's been a lot of it's going

545
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:10.039
to go to ams. You know, they they're kind of fuzzy, really,

546
00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:15.199
I mean, where's the Dean Atchison, the Paul Nitzee that the smart

547
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:20.960
guys that read drove US foreign policy
in the fifties and sixties. Can you

548
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:24.679
imagine this group sitting around advising John
Kennedy on the missile crisis? Poor fellow,

549
00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:29.599
I feel sorry for it. He
had good guys. Right, Well,

550
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:31.519
you're exactly right. I mean,
to me, it seems like they

551
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:35.440
don't want to work that hard.
I mean, this seems to be the

552
00:42:35.519 --> 00:42:38.079
disease, if I might say this
with the Democratic Party. They don't want

553
00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:42.159
to work that hard. They want
to compel everybody. They want to force

554
00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:45.440
everybody to their way of thinking.
If not, then they have ways,

555
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:52.159
and they've got you know, they've
got the government pretty well surrounded and infiltrated

556
00:42:52.519 --> 00:43:00.239
to make sure things whether it's you
know, a paper on covid or or

557
00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:07.679
climate change, whatever policy. You
know, they they have their alcolytes controlling

558
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:13.960
you know, narratives, research papers
that the American people are funding and it's

559
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:16.840
not worth the paper it's written on. Yeah, that's kind of like a

560
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:21.719
creeping socialism. They think the government
should be the answer of all things,

561
00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:24.280
and I personally think the free enterprise
system should be the answer of all things.

562
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:30.199
But some radically different than them.
But you take like the Chevron doctrine,

563
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:35.960
the doctrine that says bureaucracy can fill
in the blanks to interpret a congressional

564
00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:40.000
law. Congress is responsible for that
too. Because there's such they're they're so

565
00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:45.159
reluctant to take any criticism in los
any votes or dollars that they write these

566
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:51.480
very vague laws that are cannon fodder
for a liberal bureaucracy. Right. Well,

567
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:52.880
and that's what you know. To
your point, this is why we're

568
00:43:52.880 --> 00:44:01.280
in the mess we're in is because
nobody wants accountability, right and and again

569
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:05.400
it goes back to what you were
suggesting earlier. And I just think they

570
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:07.880
don't want to work that hard.
You know, they want they want the

571
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:13.440
titles, they want the you know, the Beltway cocktail parties to attend and

572
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:17.760
all honor and glory. But uh
boy, you know, the statesman of

573
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:22.159
old boy that that culture seems to
be compromised. I don't know, you

574
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:24.559
know better than I, and I
don't want to, you know, get

575
00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:28.519
ahead of my skis here and be
unfair to you know, some of the

576
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:31.519
congressmen and senators who who are doing
a good job, but it seems like

577
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:37.000
we need more more of them that
want to work hard and do a good

578
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:40.920
job on behalf of their constituents as
opposed to the others. Well, there's

579
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:45.320
a good number of them up there
that don't have enough real world experience,

580
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:49.280
and they it's easy for them to
make mistakes because they just don't know.

581
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:52.639
They don't know about the world,
they don't know about the history that I

582
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:57.360
don't know about economics, and so
there are tools of staffs or what they

583
00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:01.480
read like you say, right,
agenda la in journalism and uh and then

584
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:04.599
a lot of them's the best job
they ever had, lead for sure,

585
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:07.559
don't want to lose it. Well, yeah, exactly, and they find

586
00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:12.960
out really quick that they better get
in line with leadership because they're going to

587
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:16.360
need that money come time to you
know, go out there and run a

588
00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:21.000
campaign, right yeah. Yeah.
When I got up there, they knew

589
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:23.000
that I had a company and things, resources and things. So they said,

590
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:27.079
we need you to do four hundred
and fifty thousand dollars they call them

591
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:30.599
dues news to the Republican Campaign Committee. I said, no, I'm not

592
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:34.239
going to do that. I don't
need that and I don't need you,

593
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:40.039
right and so so what so what
they do? They came after you right

594
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:44.880
now? Well, no, no, I said, you could correct me

595
00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:47.039
from but I'm immune to you.
I don't need your money. I know

596
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:50.800
exactly what I'm going to accomplish here. I said I'd be here for four

597
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:52.039
or five years, and that's what
I'm going to do. Get the money

598
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:58.360
for the Everglades, get the offshore
drilling ban extended, and push to repeal

599
00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:02.320
all of Obama's anti business things.
Exactly, I just went about my business.

600
00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:06.719
Well, well, thank God,
God bless you for doing that,

601
00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:10.559
ambassador. You know, we've got
about four minutes left here, and I

602
00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:15.719
did want to come back to you
know, what's happening in Congress. You

603
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:21.400
know here the Republicans, you know, I think shot themselves in the foot

604
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:25.599
in getting rid of McCarthy, and
here they are. They just look like

605
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:30.400
bumbling fools. And this could have
an impact, I believe, on twenty

606
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:35.960
twenty four, because it's sending the
wrong message and the Democrats are just loving

607
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:39.920
how bad it's making the Republican Party. Look, oh yeah, what son

608
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:45.079
zeus say, Never stop an enemy
in the process of self destruction exactly.

609
00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:50.119
Kevin McCarthy wanted to be speaker so
bad that he gave up a lot of

610
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:52.320
his authority and credibility to get there. I think that's too bad. He's

611
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:57.519
a decent guy. And it's a
problem that Bayner fought as well. Because

612
00:46:57.519 --> 00:47:01.920
you've got this really conservative group will
not compromise on anything. But they're working

613
00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:07.239
in a system that requires a little
give and take, right, and when

614
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:12.360
they have a small, small majority
like we have now, they exercise out

615
00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:19.079
outsized influence. Well yeah, because
because look at look what happens. I

616
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:23.480
mean here Matt, Matt Gates and
and the other seven they drop a hand

617
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:29.679
grenade in the room and they have
there's no replacement. I mean that that's

618
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:31.920
not even good business sense. But
that goes back to what you're saying is

619
00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:37.119
that, uh, there's too many
that are naive and inexperienced instead of thinking,

620
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:40.639
Okay, what what can we what
can we do here? How can

621
00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:45.559
we you know? And there were
and there was some opportunity I believe,

622
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:51.199
uh leading up to that to where
they were getting some things that they wanted.

623
00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:53.960
It just wasn't permanent, but it
was still something. And then I

624
00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:59.039
thought about that last debt, that
last rout of debt negotiations. Kevin McCarthy

625
00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:01.239
did a really good job. I
mean, you don't have any leverage because

626
00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:06.119
everybody knows they're not going to default, right, everybody knows the outcome,

627
00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:09.320
so you're just shadow boxing. And
he got a few concessions out of Biden

628
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:14.039
in that a really good job,
right. And and the thing is,

629
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:17.599
you know, in a sense,
considering where we are right now, he

630
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:23.199
looks like a genius because could you
imagine if we were holding out the government

631
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:29.079
and we are facing I mean,
you've got the war already in Ukraine,

632
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:35.400
You've got the Middle East going crazy, and and and China on the brink,

633
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:40.880
and we have a frozen government.
Yeah. You know, the Chinese

634
00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:45.719
have got to be sitting back there
and just enjoying this show for what it

635
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:52.079
is, the whole Biden administration.
Harris, the Republican Divisions, Fetterman,

636
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:58.159
you've got a certified mental in the
Senate. Yeah, And no wonder they're

637
00:48:58.199 --> 00:49:02.599
behaving the way they're there behaving.
It's like Obama joked about Putin taking the

638
00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:06.280
CRIMEA. So what's good? He
said, Well, I can take care

639
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:08.760
of these guys. Oh yeah,
you know, yeah, very easily.

640
00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:14.639
Yeah, because I know that dance
he shot, He saw it before,

641
00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:19.239
and they all know, they all
know how corrupt Joe Biden is. Don't

642
00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:24.559
think that he's got them fulled.
They know exactly. They've got stories and

643
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:30.440
they've got it all firsthand, and
they don't need any more evidence. They

644
00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:35.039
know that this president and his family
they're dirty and they're corrupt. Well,

645
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:37.400
certainly the son and the brother are, that's for sure. Yeah, no

646
00:49:38.599 --> 00:49:43.199
doubt about it. But like I
said early on, I don't think that

647
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:49.079
Joe Biden would have given up everything
for just, you know, twenty million

648
00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:52.400
dollars. I think there's so many
more millions of dollars that are hidden away

649
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.880
in those twenty shell companies. But
you know, at the very least,

650
00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:00.320
you know, there's that canon of
ethics for lawyers to avoid the appear hehorrance

651
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:05.800
of impropriety. Exactly, do sixteen
or twenty visits with Hunter Biden's customers,

652
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:07.840
even if they talked about the weather, that's not the point. They're talking

653
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:12.880
about the weather with the vice president
of the United States exactly what that's probably

654
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:15.719
Yeah, without a doubt. Well, we got about a minute left,

655
00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:19.559
Ambassador. I'm going to let you
summarize everything. Give us some hope here,

656
00:50:19.639 --> 00:50:22.679
huh. Well, you know,
this is still the best country in

657
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:25.000
the world. We still have the
best system. It's a bit of a

658
00:50:25.039 --> 00:50:29.280
leaky boat right now, but I
think I have faith in the American people.

659
00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:32.159
I'm seeing a bit of a backlash
among even some Democrats about things like

660
00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:37.199
school choice, teachers' union, parental
rights. Because you know a lot of

661
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:40.559
people want the same things that we're
talking about, even if they're not Republicans.

662
00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:44.880
Yeah, because those are common sense
things about what kind of family you're

663
00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:47.800
going to have? Yeah, and
return to good thing. Yeah, and

664
00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:52.360
maybe people will start to realize that
when we overspend, we mortgage our kids

665
00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:55.920
and grandkids' future. And I think
we should be connected, making that cause

666
00:50:55.960 --> 00:51:00.880
a link every step. Yeah,
without a DIMI. You talk about taxation

667
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:06.239
without representation. I mean, these
kids aren't even born yet and the tax

668
00:51:06.360 --> 00:51:09.159
bill is being placed on them,
you know, even before birth. That's

669
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:13.599
how craziness is. Well, Ambassador, can I thank you enough if I

670
00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:16.760
appreciate your time, your insight.
As always, you're a blessing to the

671
00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:20.719
audience. We appreciate you. Thank
you so much. Thanks for having me

672
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:23.599
on, Bill, you got it. Our thanks to Ambassador of Francis Rooney

673
00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:27.800
for being with us today for more
information to be a part of this mighty

674
00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:30.639
movement to return to God and save
our country. You know the address Bill

675
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:34.840
Martinez Show dot com. May God
bless you and keep you, make his

676
00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:38.000
face shine upon you. May he
be gracious unto you and give you peace.

677
00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:40.159
Go and have a great day.
Thanks so much for being with us.
