• 0:06
  Speaker 1: advantage of the many free online courses there, and of
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: course I'll listen to the Hillsdale Dialogues, all of them

• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Big Weekend Pod. The big news of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the week well comes in two categories. They're related. Category
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: number one is that anti Semitism is now the calling
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: card of the New Democratic Party. The three congressional candidates
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: who won in New York with Marimount Donnie's backing, they
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: talk a lot about a lot of different things, but
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: mostly they talk about hating Israel, and it's a short
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: step to hating Jews period. And they even bother trying.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We've got mister Halami in New Jersey, who is the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: blind Shake's character reference. We've got Graham Platner, a communist
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in Maine, self described. We've got mister El Sayed who
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: is running in Michigan. And we've got other wackos around
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the country and the Democrats are going to end up
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: with if they win the majority, and they might not
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: now the party becoming so radical they may not win
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the majority come the midterms, which should be expected. They
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: there should be a blue wave. It's the sixth year
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of a presidency, and that for the American political title charts,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: they're always the same. They always wipe out the party
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of the president who's been in power for six years.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: But maybe not this time. Didn't happen to George W.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Bush in two thousand and two. It did happen to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: him in two thousand and six. So it's the third year,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: third off year election that just kills you. But what
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: we want you to understand, what we want you to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: really understand, is it doesn't much matter if the Republican
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Party doesn't hold up its end of the bargain, which
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: means staying close with Israel, providing sports for Israel, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: there's no sign that that's not going to be the case.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Tom Massey was anti Israel, and he's out. He's gone.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: The Knucklehead Caucus has been broken up. There isn't a
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: single Republican senator who's systematically anti Israel. Rand Paul is
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the most isolationist of the senators, but he's not anti
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Israel per se. And I just think we have to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: keep a good eye on that and make sure, as
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: we discuss with today, that Republicans and Conservatives when they
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: talk about the Middle East, are very careful to be
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the party that believes the alliance with Israel is our
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: most important strategic alliance, because it is. It's just the truth.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: It's what we have to worry about, is what we
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: have to work with. So that's what I'm talking about
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: primarily today with our wonderful guests Eli Lake and Jim Garrety.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Ben dominishes along today of course as his most Friday,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and Senator Jim Talent in for a rare Friday appearance.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: So we've got a lot of head don't go anywhere,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: sit back and enjoy the big weekend. Pot the weekend,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it's already here, but we don't go to it before
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: we review what happened on Friday. Let's start with President
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: trumpet the Faith in Freedom Rally cut number nine.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Communism is very easy to sell. It destroys everything, but
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: it's very easy. I'll be honest, I think I'd be
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the greatest communist in history I give free rent. Ladies
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen. From now on, you don't have to pay
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: any rent. From now on, anybody wants a house, don't
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: worry about it. Just pick the house you want. Everybody
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: gets free food. Everything is free from this point forward.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Everyone's going to vote for me. The problem is, after
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: two or three years, the country is a disaster area.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: The country fails. They always do it, so easy to
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: sell that first year a boy year. The most popular's
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: happening right now in New York and California.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: But you'll start living in Squalor. You'll live in Squalor.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: There will be no food, there will be no housing,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: there will be no military, there'll be no law and order,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: there will be no nothing, be know nothing. You'll be
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a third world inhabitant in every way, and everyone will
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: suffer or die.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: You'll suffer or die. That's what happens for thousands of years.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: It's been happening by different names.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: For or die. Not a not a pleasing prospect. Let's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: got a cut number two of the president today talking
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: about the communists, cut number ten.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: In many cases they're not smart, but in some cases
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: they are. It's easy for them to get followers. Because
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: they make promises that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: They know they can't keep.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And the Democrats aren't fighting back. That's why they're dumb.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: They're not fighting back. They're afraid.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I watch humor, he's afraid to fight.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I watch guys that are pretty normal and guys that
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: we oppose, they're afraid to fight. The Democrats have taken
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a tremendous turn left and many of these people. I
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: looked at some of the people that got elected the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: other night in New York.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: These are these are in many ways.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Stupid people in some ways and intellectually probably pretty smart.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: But they're people that want to destroy our country.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: They hate us right, they are absolutely and they're anti Semits.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Let's speak clear. They're anti West, anti American, anti Israel,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: anti semi cut number eleven from the President. I'll tell
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you about My analysis is.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: These are not social democrats. These are hardcore godless communists.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: They're godless communists or communists. They're godless, they don't believe
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: in God. This is the most serious threat to our
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: country since its existence, in my opinion, two hundred and.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Fifty years ago. This is a major threat to our country.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: It isn't something that's easily solved, but with a little
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: love and help, some hard work.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Because it's ironic.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: We're celebrating a very important birthday, our most important birthday
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: so far, two hundred and fifty years, and instead of
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: speaking about Christ, and instead of speaking about freedom and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: victories of all different kinds, who are speaking about yet
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: another threat to the foundations of America.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: These ruthless communists.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Will attack all religions, but in particular Christianity.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: They always do.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Thereafter Christianity more than any other religion, there seems to.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Be there is absolutely right. Communism is in fact, by
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: definition atheists by definition opposed to religious belief. Now, they
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: do have an alliance with the radical islam elements within
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, and they are not atheists, but they
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: are radical Islamist. I was on Fox News Friday with
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Sandra Smith talking about this on America Reports Cut number one.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Let's bring in Hugh Hewitt.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Now he's a Foxy's contributor and host of the Hugh
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Hewitt Show. Hugh, welcome to you for chat. It's always
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: about the math. Maybe not so for Hakem Jeffries. The
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: leaders suggested this earlier on CNA.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: Listen what happens in a handful of primaries and one
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: of the bluest cities in the country is not in
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: any way indicative of what needs to happen in November.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Yet in your Fox news dot Com piece, you write
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Democrats cliftive over the far left edge of American politics,
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: saying voting for any Democrat for any office in any
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: state in November is a vote for the AOC Mandannie Democrats.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: That is the reality, and Republicans will be pounding on
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: that point from now until November.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Elaborate, Hugh, Good afternoon, Sandra. It is in fact haw king.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey is saying, pay no attention to the raging inferno
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: on the left side of my party. And it's a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: question about Matt chat is right, it's a question about
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the new horses that are coming in. John is right.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: There are right now eighteen progressives in the House. Some
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of them are radical, like AOC and Elano, Omar Rashida
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to lee In Jai Paul. Some of them are kind
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: of not radical and not anti Semitic. Well, Adam Hamawai
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey and the three that were elected to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the Democratic nominations on Tuesday night, they're radical, hard left,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: anti Israel anti semits. So all of a sudden, you've
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: got eight radicals in the House if the House flips.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: The Republicans had this problem four years ago when we
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: had a fringe of knuckleheads on the far right, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: they weren't really ideological, they were just kind of disparate,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: weird people, and they're almost all gone from the Congress now,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: but they destroyed Kevin McCarthy's speakership. Well, Kim Jefferies is
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: doing the math. If he gets eight hard hard left
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: anti Israel, anti semits in his Congress, in his conference,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: it's going to be very hard for him to win
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the speakership if he in fact flips the House. As
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: for Senator Slotkin, she's looking ahead at the national brand.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: They have a short term problem with what happens in
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the House next fall, but their longer term problem is
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: if their party be come anti West, anti American, anti Israel,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and anti Semitic, that's the death knell of the Democratic Party.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: You can't win nationally with a radical platform like that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Well, from President Trump's view, and again we'll hear from him,
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: and just a moment when he begins speaking, he sees
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: this Communists are finally making their moves, says President Trump.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: I've been waiting and preparing for this for a long time.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: It's easy to be a communist. All you have to
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: say is I'll give you everything. But that means you're
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: taking it away from others that have earned it over
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: thousands of years. That ideology has not worked. Once the
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: game is on and enjoy watching. So is that the
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: message from the Republican Party and will they get that
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: messaging right come November?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: It should be the message. They should not parse words,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they should not soften the blow. Graham Plattner, who is
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: running for senators the Democrat in Maine, is a self
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: professed communist. We had Chevalier. She's the most radical of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the bunch. Also thinks she may be the least actually
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: eloquent in expressing reviews. Nominee Valdez wants to nationalize the airlines.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: There's so much weird stuff. Hamawi Hallami was the Blind
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Shake's character witness. They're a group of hard left people
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and mister south Sayad in Michigan, he's a hard left
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: hamas apologist as well. So the Democratic parties really teetering.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Actually they have gone over the edge. They're with Elman Luise.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: They drove right over the cliff on Tuesday night, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Senator Slockkin is looking at that and said, I don't
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: want to be a minority senator for my entire career
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: in the Senate, and right now they could well end
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: up doing that. As there are thirty one red states
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and nineteen blue states, that should mean like sixty two
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Republican senators, especially if the Democrats go left and then
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: further left and then all the way off the map.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: All right, Well, from AOC'SUW, she sees what's going on
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: in some of these races. She was asked if she's
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: more inclined to possibly run for the Senate after seeing
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: these races in New York. She said this to Fox Digital.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: The league inspired and encouraged by all the new.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: Chases that we're going to be sending to take something
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: answer Congress. She's encouraged. So as someone is largely seen
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: as the one of at least the leaders in her party,
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: what does that say about her future in the party's future.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: It tells me and I talked about this on air
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: recently with President Trump. She's got the sparkle, she has
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the charisma. I think she could be their twenty twenty
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: eight presidential nominee. If she wants that, she almost certainly
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: could be the Senate nominee. But if she quests for
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the presidency, that leaves Mayor Mom Donnie an open shot
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: at Chuck Schumer, and the person who is most afraid
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: after the landslide for the left on Tuesday Night is
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. He's lost control of his party, he's lost
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: control of his caucus. It's not the Democrats, for whom
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: he was proudly the protector of Israel no more.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: She always appreciate when you can join us.
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: Thank you very much.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I love being on and being able to spell it
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: out for people on Fox. I love being able to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: spell it out for you on the Sale News Channels,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the Sailing Radio Network, all of our great radio affiliates.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: That's the way it is. That's just the way it is.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Coming up, Eli Lake and I talk about those elections,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: as does Jim Garretty Coming up this hour, Ben Dominus,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: next hour, John Andrasik, coming along, Jim Town coming along
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: a lot, coming along. Come right back to the U
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Hewitt Show, Worker back America. I'm Hugh Hewitt, joined now
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: by Eli Lake of the Free Press, host of the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Breaking History podcast, frequent contributor on the Commentary podcast, including
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: this Wednesday. Welcome Eli. I want to go right to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the heart of what you talked about on Wednesday. You
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: said it is a catastrophic moral moment in New York.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Your colleagues on the podcast were very funny calling it
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the bums won sackcloth Wednesday. May you find comfort among
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the mourners of New York and Jerusalem. Look, it's three congressmen.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: They're all communists, they're all radical. But I mean it's
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: still just three Democrats or is it? In fact? Add
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: in Himawi, add In Melo kiros In Denver, Adam Graham Platner,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and Elsa ad and maybe it's actually sinister. What's your take.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: We were reacting in the moment, and I mean, I
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: think it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: Is important to say, yes, this is a deep blue
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: New York city. They call it COMMI Carter for a reason.
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: All of that said, Hugh, this is the result of
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: the Democrats just deciding that the Democratic Socialists of America,
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: which I believe should be called the National Socialists of
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: America because of their utter antipathy and enmity towards the
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: Jewish State and for that Jews in general. But the
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: issue is that the d essay is trying what is
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: known as an entryest strategy to take over the Democratic
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: Party and the smiling Zoron Mom.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Donnie, the Mayor of New York, chose to elevate these people.
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: Chose to elevate someone who will not apologize for attending
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: a rally that celebrated the mass murder and rape of
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: October seventh, literally the day after he chose those people
• 14:20
  Speaker 9: to endorse. He chose to elevate those people. They would
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: not have won without his endorsement. That's who he is.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: So as he continues, you know, it's a when he.
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: Tries to charm us, we should just remember this is
• 14:32
  Speaker 9: what his real agenda is.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: And so mind you that.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I want my audience to know that if they're listening
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and not watching, you have a whale behind you. So
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: there's a whale of a big story. I had to
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: say that you just mentioned the Columbia. You know you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: have enough suggestion for the Breaking History podcast. I would love, however,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: if someone would explain to me when did the Middle
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Eastern Studies Department in Columbia go off the rails? And
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: how did it end. We did it over the course
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: of thirty years.
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: I did it two years ago. It was in the archives.
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: They did it for honestly, and I'll send it to you.
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: But I did an episode all about Edward Said, and
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: Edward Said's takeover of the Biddle Eese Studies Department and
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: how that represented a kind of hinge moment. But now
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: we're seeing, I mean, ideas have consequences. That's why we're
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: doing this, Hugh. Ideas matter, and this is the triumph
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: of anti colonialisms, to triumph in Franz Finnan and Edward
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: Said and Michelle Fuco, and these people dominated a generation,
• 15:37
  Speaker 9: maybe two generations ago. They ran the table when it
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: came to the elite universities.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: And now we're.
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: Seeing the children of those universities making a bid for
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: political power. And the Democratic Party is totally not ready
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: for it. And that's the part of it, which is
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: I think that there was a sense that the Democrats
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: were thinking to themselves, even with the rise of Mamdanie
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: in New York, well, you know, this is a big.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Tent and we can work with the DSA.
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: They seem to have a lot of momentum and they
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: can be part of, They can be folded into the
• 16:09
  Speaker 9: Democratic Party. The Democratic Party, I think is in the
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: process of losing its soul, it's losing its identity. And
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: unless it makes it very clear that it is copyright infringement,
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: if these communists decide to run as Democrat, then they
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: will become the dssay, and that is.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: An enormous problem.
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: I hope it doesn't happen, but it's very similar to
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: when Jeremy Corban took over the Labor Party in the UK,
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: and I think we might be seeing it now and
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: this midterm.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I think that's the story of this midterm.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: And the story the challenge for the Republican just to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: nationalize the race, because what will happen. When Kem McCarthy
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: was speaker, they had five to ten knuckleheads who were
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: disparate and they were all under the Freedom Caucass umbrella,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: but they really didn't believe in a lot of coherent
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: stuff and some of them were just addicted to attention.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Most of them are gone. The Democrat Leftists, the DSA
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: or they have an ideology and if they hold eight
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: seats and they've got four already and to leave Omar AOC,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Giapaul if they get four.
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: Hold on, hold on, AOC seems to be tiptoeing and
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: tap dancing away.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: From some of this.
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: Notice she didn't endorse any of these people, and she
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: didn't and she didn't endorse Ram Plattner and so and then,
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: And I'm not I'm not kind of I'm just saying
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: I think that AOC recognizes she's got a larger political ambitions,
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: but she's been playing it. She's been keeping her cards
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: pretty close to the bat. I'm not a sevenor too much.
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: Let's say seven hardcore leftists. That makes a King Jeffrey
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: skate on very thin night, doesn't it? Oh yeah, oh yeah,
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: especially if it's going to be a similar kind of
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: it's going to be like a fifty to fifty, you know,
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: unless they get a really big winn. If he's got
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: you can account for that. But yeah, it's seven wild cards.
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: And then also, I mean, listen, I think it's not
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: going to happen this cycle, but this should be a
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: wake up call.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is not the New York that I know.
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: And I would hope the New York Republican Party can
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: revive itself, reinvent itself, and say that to save the
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: greatest city in the world from the scourge of socialism.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: That would be.
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: And I would love to see something happen in New
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: York where that Republican Party can get back to the
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: glory days of Giuliani and Bloomberg and so forth, when
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: they could actually compete for power.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: But you know, the capital of capitalism is going to
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: give that baton to Miami if they haven't already, because
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the bankers are not.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: I think so good point.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: There are a million as of this morning, there are
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: a million landlords of apartment owners who are now under
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: rent control immediacy right that they were rent stabilized. But
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the board that was taking over my Mandannie is now
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: going to Mandanni, is now going to praise their rants
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that destroys housing stock. I don't know how many times
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: we have to learn the same lesson ELI. How often
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: do we have to learn that price controls ruined housing?
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, no, no, it's it's it's across the board.
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: I mean, I mean, I'm I'm worried about you know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: what's going to happen to the curriculum of New York
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: public schools. I mean, this has been a major project
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: for the left for a long time. What's what's going
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: to happen in terms of, you know, policing. I mean,
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: there's all kinds of things that are going to have
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: these downstad. We're not going to really see the effects
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: of Mandannie's policies maybe for a couple of years. But
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: this is a huge But I just want to point
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: something out because I've seen this discourse on X what's
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: happening in the Democratic Party right now cannot really be
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: compared to the Tea Party movement of the early t
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: And the big distinction is that the Tea Party movement,
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: You're right, the Tea Party movement was an insurgency against
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: the Republican establishment. But the people who were in the
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: Tea Party when they would get together, they would read the.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Declaration of Independence. They loved America.
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: They loved our republic, they revered our founding Charter and
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: our ideals. The people who are trying to take over
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: the Democratic Party hate America. They hate Western civilization, they
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: hate all of the things that make our country great.
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: And I just think it's important to have that because
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: even though I disagree with many Democrats, and I know
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: you disagree with them, and Democrats. I also think many
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: of them are in their own way patriotic, and for
• 20:41
  Speaker 9: the party to be taken over really by an organization
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: that despises our country and despises our values is a tragedy,
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: and I hope it doesn't happen.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I think you're right, and to become an anti Western
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: party when you're the party of Jack Kennedy and more
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: recently Sam Nunn, that's really astonishing. Follow him on Exit,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Eli Lake, Listen to Breaking History the podcast. Read him
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: at the Free Press. Thank you, Eli. Be right back
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: with Jim Garretty, Kay, Jim.
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: Oh Man, his hosts The Bowery. He got his books.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Welcome Back America. A rare weekend appearance by Jim Garerty,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the indispensable Washington Post column at, senior writer at National Review,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: host of the three Martini podcasts, frequent contributed to the editors,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: though he wasn't on this week. I think he's offered
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: some robotic symposium trying to defend himself against his kids
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: into the future. Garrity, let me start with our friends
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party on Tuesday night, and you talked
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: today on through Martini Lunch about how the World Cup
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be a disaster for Republicans, and the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Democrats were hoping for that. Well, it's become a great
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: thing for the country. Meanwhile, the disaster happened in New
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: York to the Democrats, how do you assess that fiasco?
• 22:00
  Speaker 11: Today's Morning Jolt is about the angry whiner. I have
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: no hope society. There are no opportunities in society. Mentality
• 22:12
  Speaker 11: you find on kind of the groper right. And then
• 22:14
  Speaker 11: there's also this very weird mirror image on the hard
• 22:19
  Speaker 11: socialist and let's face it, really often increasingly openly communist
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: left that basically they both have this mutual attitude of
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: everything in society is so unfair, everything is deck stacked
• 22:32
  Speaker 11: against us. It doesn't shock me that the centerpiece or
• 22:36
  Speaker 11: the epicenter of this movement is New York City. And
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: it's not because of the Jets, it's not because of
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: anything like that. It's that New York City has always
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: been one of the most expensive places to live in
• 22:47
  Speaker 11: the entire country, and it's known as a very hard
• 22:51
  Speaker 11: place to make it. As the song goes, if you
• 22:54
  Speaker 11: can make it here, you can make it anywhere. But
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: like inherent in that is that it's hard to make
• 22:59
  Speaker 11: it in New York City. It is hard to find
• 23:01
  Speaker 11: a job that's going to cover all the expenses you have.
• 23:03
  Speaker 11: It is hard to find a job something you know
• 23:06
  Speaker 11: it's going through to rise. It is the most intense
• 23:08
  Speaker 11: competition you're going to find in any place in the country.
• 23:12
  Speaker 11: So lots of people want to make it in New
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: York City. Sometimes they've got a you know, college education
• 23:19
  Speaker 11: that really didn't prepare them that well for the job market.
• 23:24
  Speaker 11: Sometimes they'd really just underestimated the level of competition. Sometimes
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: they walk around with an excessive sense of how good
• 23:31
  Speaker 11: they really are. And the other detail hue that I
• 23:33
  Speaker 11: think is kind of interesting. And I'm trying to you
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: mentioned my kids, I'm trying to instill this in them.
• 23:38
  Speaker 11: They live, you know, Towe, a National Review, Washington Post,
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: and all the other different places that I work.
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: We make a good living. We make a good living.
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: At this stage in my life, when I was starting out,
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: I was eating Ramen noodles just like everybody else in
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: that same sense of that. And you expect when you
• 23:53
  Speaker 11: get out of college at age twenty one, twenty two
• 23:56
  Speaker 11: to twenty three, you know, oh, my life is going
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: to be like it was when I'm growing up.
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: No, No, everybody struggles when they're starting out. Even if you.
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: Went to a good college, even if you think you
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: studied something really good, finding a job in your field
• 24:08
  Speaker 11: very rarely are they just handing them out when you
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: get your diploma.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: So these are all kind of like hard facts of life.
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: And I see an angry response to these basic facts
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: of life from the left.
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: I see it sometimes a bit on the right.
• 24:21
  Speaker 11: But it doesn't surprise me that New York is the
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: most fertile territory for this message of everything stinks. Life
• 24:28
  Speaker 11: is so unfair. Capitalism has failed you, young person, and
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: the only answer is socialism.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jim. That makes me think of the interview that
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the Acxios reporter did with one of the Silicon Valley
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: AI guys. I can't remember his name right now, but
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the Action guy asked y Aby his question, what do
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I tell my kids to go into? What kind of
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: job should they have? If AI is going to destroy now?
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Your kids make robots so they'll be fully employed. But
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: if you're not an engineer or robots, not only is
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: it tough to make it New York, it's tough to
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: see where you're gonna go other than wait the next table.
• 25:05
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and so here's the thing. You know, the Internet
• 25:09
  Speaker 11: came along and changed a lot, right, And if you know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 11: if you actually have copies of print newspapers, print newspapers
• 25:16
  Speaker 11: are not what they used to be.
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: And I'm a little saddened by that.
• 25:19
  Speaker 11: I'm sad in on a bunch of hop Craigslist took
• 25:22
  Speaker 11: away the classifieds, right. You just don't see print advertising
• 25:25
  Speaker 11: the way you used to. The comic strip in the
• 25:28
  Speaker 11: newspaper is not the big deal in our society that
• 25:31
  Speaker 11: it used to be back in the days of.
• 25:33
  Speaker 12: Calvin and Hobbes and Pints the Far Side and bloom
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: County and all these things that I grew up with,
• 25:40
  Speaker 12: you know, but inevile is journalism better?
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 25:44
  Speaker 11: The Internet has empowered so many people to join the
• 25:47
  Speaker 11: ranks of journalists and make a living.
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: And there's a part of me like, as much as
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: I may.
• 25:53
  Speaker 11: Not like everything coming from AI, I also kind of
• 25:57
  Speaker 11: realized complaining about it, it's kind of like complaining about
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: the There is no way to put the toothpaste back
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: in the tube. You can't put the genie back into
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: the bottle. You just have to look at an AI
• 26:07
  Speaker 11: economy and say, what are they still going to need you?
• 26:10
  Speaker 11: You mentioned robotics is something that is not going to
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: go away in the next ten thirty years, and so
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: you know, I thank god my kids have picked to
• 26:18
  Speaker 11: something that they're likely to, you know, find some form
• 26:20
  Speaker 11: of employment in the future to.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Take care of you in your dotage. Don't go anywhere, America.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I'm coming right back with Jim Garritty, very far away
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: from dotage at this point. During the break which we'll
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: put on the Big Weekend Pod, I'm going to talk
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: to him about the opening of the Great American State
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Fair and the Reflecting Poll. But then when we come back,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: we're going to prop up with Hiron and the fact
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: that they shot out of Singapore flagged and hit the
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: bridge freighter esterday.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: What do we do?
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: What do we do? Stay tuned. I'm back with Garrity,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: the Indispensable Jim Big opening of the Great American State
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Fair on the mall this week. We had flyovers of
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the F thirty five's, we had the President and I States,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: we had the Marine Band singing the Village People YMCA,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: which is the first for me to see. And then
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: we got the Reflecting Poll which is up in pieces
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and has been vandalized. But we do have the World Cup,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: which is really the best thing to happen to our
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: children and fiftieth birthday yet, because we're saying America through
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the eyes of forn what's the best thing to happen
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: to us? That's far in the semi jus quintennial.
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: Oh look, I mean, is there anybody.
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: Who isn't loving Freddy the German soccrateurist and the fact
• 27:29
  Speaker 11: that he's been everywhere and we still don't know his
• 27:32
  Speaker 11: you know, his last name, or what he is, What
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: does he do for a living?
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: How is he affording all of this? He hasn't been
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: to work in a month.
• 27:38
  Speaker 11: You know, we might find out that Freddy is some
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: baron or something like that. But either way, he's America
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: through fresh eyes, right break.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: Us, yeah, you know, and like go fine.
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: Either way he is going and finding BUCkies to be
• 27:54
  Speaker 11: the most amazing thing he's ever seen.
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: And rest you like there was a different guy.
• 27:59
  Speaker 11: But he said that he had this amazing steak and
• 28:01
  Speaker 11: he's talking about it.

  Speaker 7: It's the best steak he ever had.

  Speaker 7: It iss nothing wrong with it.
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: It's a perfectly fine state chain of steak restaurants.

  Speaker 7: But I think we kind of like, you know, this.
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: Isn't Ruth's Chris right, this is not a we would

• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not a budget.
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, you know, it's pertetly fine. But it's kind
• 28:26
  Speaker 11: of fascinating to see Europeans. And let's face it, if
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: you're a European tourist and you're over here to watch
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: the World Cup games, I don't care how you describe yourself.
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: You're wealthy, right, airfare to the United States, staying in
• 28:37
  Speaker 11: a hotel. A lot of these guys are renting cars, meals, paraphernalia.
• 28:42
  Speaker 11: You know, God knows how much the charging for beers
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: at the stadium and all that stuff. We're talking about
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: people who are wealthy and they're coming here to the
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: United States and saying, oh my god, I can't believe
• 28:51
  Speaker 11: how wealthy this country is. Look at the size of
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: the houses, look at the sizes of the cars, look
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: at you know, it's been fascinating. And let me also
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: kind of observe Hugh. I am sorry that no one
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: got to experience Cleveland.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I wasn't. He came close, Freddy Wi Yeah, yeah,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: he was in Northeast.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: They just you know, they.
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: Went and said, first of all, they said MetLife Stadium
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: was the most beautiful thing they've ever seen, poor people.
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: I like MetLife Stadium, but I'm not gonna I'm not
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: gonna fool you.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: I've never thought that that was the most beautiful stadium.
• 29:19
  Speaker 11: They Oh, my god, Energy Stadium in Houston is huge,
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: and it is big. But yeah, I'll give credits to
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: Ohio State and all the college football fans out there.
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: Are the house not even like one of the bigger.
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: Stadiums in the country. Never mind, you know the several
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: college stadiums that can fit one hundred thousand people. So
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: it's kind of interesting when they're like, wow, you guys
• 29:38
  Speaker 11: have amazing stadiums that were like, that's not even the
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: big one, hey.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Are any of the Guaranty Boys kind of go to
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: to the team up north to Michigan so that they
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: can go to the big House. I'm just kidding. They
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: got a great robotics program. I hate to say it,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: but they do.
• 29:52
  Speaker 11: Wouldn't have minded. It was not on my older ones list.
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: It's a possibility for my younger one.
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: We're getting serious and talking iron don't go anywhere America.

• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I'm you Hewett. Jim Gerty with me, host of the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Three Martini Lunch. You can read him in the Washington Post.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: You can read him every day in the morning Jolt
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: for National Review. Hear him on the Editors podcast frequently
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: as well. Jim, the big development this week with the
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Iran war is that Iran fired at and hit Singapore
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: freighter in the bridge, and we don't know what President
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Trump is going to do. And the second big development
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: is an alleged split between Vice President Vans and Secretary
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: of State Rubio. I think that's like the split between
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the wide receiver on the right side and the wide
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: receiver on the left side. The quarterback of Donald Trump,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: he called the play. They're going to run the routes
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: that they are designated to do. But what do you
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: think everyone's going to agree to or what is the
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: president going to decide to do about shooting at the freighter,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Because you know, everything else. Up until this point. You
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: could argue, oh themlu covers everything because it's so vague,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: but it definitely was not supposed to include shooting at
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the freighters.
• 31:10
  Speaker 11: Yeah, Hugh, it's a big development. I don't think it's
• 31:13
  Speaker 11: necessarily a surprising development. I think that, you know, the
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: idea that the Iranians would break their word on something
• 31:19
  Speaker 11: was probably the I don't know if Vegas was taking
• 31:22
  Speaker 11: bets on it, or Polymarket or Calshi or any of them,
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: but if you if you could put money down on
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: the Iranians were going to break their word at some.
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: Point, I feel pretty good about those odds.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: When this conflict began, you know, I was to a
• 31:35
  Speaker 11: certain extent enthusiastm but like, look, from nineteen seventy nine,
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: the Iranian regime has been in a de facto state
• 31:42
  Speaker 11: of war against the United States of America and the
• 31:45
  Speaker 11: American people.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Sometimes it's very intense, sometimes it quiets.
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: Down, but there's really not never been a point where
• 31:51
  Speaker 11: they have their intent has been straightforward in their chant
• 31:55
  Speaker 11: death to America. It is not mild inconvenience to America.
• 31:59
  Speaker 11: It is not stub toe to America. Right, They oppose
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: us in every possible way.
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: The idea that diplomacy.
• 32:06
  Speaker 11: Was ever going to work with this regime was always
• 32:08
  Speaker 11: extremely unlikely. And one of the ways you know that
• 32:10
  Speaker 11: is because it's not like we could meet in our
• 32:13
  Speaker 11: embassy in Tehran, right, So the idea. So when Trump
• 32:17
  Speaker 11: began this war, I think a whole bunch of people
• 32:19
  Speaker 11: on the right were like, finally, finally, someone, there's an
• 32:23
  Speaker 11: American president who recognizes that there is no negotiating with
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: these folks.
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: There is no way of getting these folks to see reason.
• 32:30
  Speaker 11: The only real So the problem with the Iranian regime
• 32:33
  Speaker 11: is the Iranian regime, and the only way you can
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: really fix that is by driving them from power. You
• 32:38
  Speaker 11: hit their military hard enough, maybe the next time the
• 32:41
  Speaker 11: people rise up they have a chance of actually deposing them. Well,
• 32:44
  Speaker 11: not only with the memorandum understanding, do we act like
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: regime change is no longer one of our interests or
• 32:50
  Speaker 11: one of our priorities. You see the President, in my mind,
• 32:53
  Speaker 11: going way off message and saying it's important for a
• 32:55
  Speaker 11: ran to have ballistic missiles to defend itself.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: No, it's not.
• 32:59
  Speaker 11: We're saying, you know, we okay for them to have
• 33:01
  Speaker 11: nuclear power for civilian purposes, but not for But we
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: trust them not to weaponize what these guys have. You know,
• 33:07
  Speaker 11: they have broken every treaty they've ever signed, and they
• 33:11
  Speaker 11: have bragged in two.
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: Thousand and nine.
• 33:13
  Speaker 11: I want to say twenty twelve, twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen
• 33:17
  Speaker 11: about how easy it is to fool international inspectors. It
• 33:20
  Speaker 11: was one of the reasons by Monday, I was not
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: impressed when JD. Advance is like, oh, they agreed to inspectors.
• 33:25
  Speaker 11: This is terrific. Any that only sounds good if you
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: know nothing about the Iridian regime and the entire history
• 33:32
  Speaker 11: of how they have fooled and you know, messed around
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: and denied access to important sites and.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: Stuff like that.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: So un argument three the two philosophies counter argument, which
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: is that we're in the phony war equivalent, that's the
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: war that wasn't fighting. Between November of nineteen thirty nine
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: in May of nineteen forty, Poland had been overrun, the
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Germans were reorganizing, the French and the British Expeditionary Force
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: for getting into play, and nothing happened. I think we're
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: in the phony one until after the election that oil
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: is closed below seventy dollars a barrel today and Mark Tieson,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: my former your current colleague at the Washington Post writes today,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: a top nuclear expert on what the war accomplished with Iran,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: David Albright says the claim that Iran emerged stronger from
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: the war is delusional, and he goes on to detail
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: just how devastated Iran is. So they may be the
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: weaker they are, the tougher they talk, and what we
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: say is just to jolly them along until the election
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: is over.
• 34:30
  Speaker 11: Your turn, okay, Bali one, Like, if they get the
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: three hundred billion billion with a B that they're supposed
• 34:36
  Speaker 11: to get under the memorandum of understanding, well though, they're
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: going to be done with a whole lot better, right.
• 34:40
  Speaker 11: That is like thirteen times the size of the current
• 34:43
  Speaker 11: Iranian defense budget. And money is fungible money that they're
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: getting from whichever organized donors are organizing this that ends
• 34:52
  Speaker 11: up going to there is money that they do, you know,
• 34:53
  Speaker 11: that gives them money that they don't have to that
• 34:55
  Speaker 11: they can then you know, free up other cash to
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: build on drones, ballistic missiles. They want to rebuild the
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: traditional military, they can do that. But I think, by
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: the way, if you're a rand, do you even need
• 35:05
  Speaker 11: a traditional military anymore.
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: You managed to shut down.
• 35:08
  Speaker 11: Shipping in the Persian Gulf and cut off the straight
• 35:10
  Speaker 11: of form moves through drones, which one sod he says,
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: like a lot of people think it costs an Aranian
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: to make a shah He drone thirty five thousand to
• 35:17
  Speaker 11: like seventy thousand per drone.
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: There's one study that.
• 35:20
  Speaker 11: Says, no, no, no, no, once you put in all the
• 35:21
  Speaker 11: economies of scale, it's costing the Iranians just seven thousand
• 35:24
  Speaker 11: dollars per drone.
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: And that's really what's shut down.
• 35:27
  Speaker 11: Made the oil tankers afraid to go through the Persian
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: golf Like, that's a considerable amount of leverage that they
• 35:32
  Speaker 11: have gotten out of this. So that's why I think,
• 35:34
  Speaker 11: oh no, this is not a slam dunk. We can
• 35:36
  Speaker 11: say we've won go home sort of thing.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: All right, Jim and the fine Jim minute when a
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: debate or in high school, right, you debated, No, no,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: this is not I'm a range count. I want to
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: hear your state the contrary argument, even if you're not trained,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: what's the contrary argument to what you just said?
• 35:53
  Speaker 11: Oh? Why is why is this a good deal or
• 35:56
  Speaker 11: why is this Like you get oil flowing, as you mentioned,
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: tanks are down. But when you made the World War
• 36:02
  Speaker 11: II comparison, Hugh, all of that happened after the American
• 36:07
  Speaker 11: president had signed a peace deal in Versailles, France. So really,
• 36:11
  Speaker 11: what we know once there's a deal, a treaty in Versailles,
• 36:14
  Speaker 11: everything works out fine?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Right, it was funny years after Versailles, Jim. The Phony
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: War was twenty years after Versailles.
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: I'm just saying, if I'm signing a peace deal, I
• 36:25
  Speaker 11: pick a different city. I just go down the road,
• 36:28
  Speaker 11: do it in Paris something like that.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: It's not a peace deal, it's an emily. I'm just saying,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: is there not a little space reserved in your head
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: that it all could work out? Because there's a large
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: space in my head that it could all work out.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: Do you want to know the upside, Hue, is that
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: we know the Arrayians are going to break their word.
• 36:45
  Speaker 11: So at some point Trump's going to get frustrated and
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: say this is not worth it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: You'll go back to bombing. We could actually tell yes, yes,
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: that's those the silver lining.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that's my base case is that eventually
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: this president, this is mission.
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: You're saying, this is the you know you know this.
• 37:06
  Speaker 11: This is the the end of the Marvel movie. The
• 37:09
  Speaker 11: credits of roll there's a free credit scene and the
• 37:12
  Speaker 11: US military.
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: Will return in the new state for the US it's.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Dead Pool arising from just his head. If people know
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: what the Marvel versus like, it's a Deadpool trailer. Guaranty
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: the indispensable follow him on exit. Jim Garrety read him
• 37:26

  Speaker 1: programmed friendly to Q. I'll be right back America State two.
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: But you said that a ron violated the cease fire.
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: Will they face any consequences? You'll fully Can you consort
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: of a cease fire to still be in place? I
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: don't like the fact that they took a shot yesterday.
• 38:01
  Speaker 13: Actually four we knocked down three at a ship, not
• 38:07
  Speaker 13: an allied ship, but a ship, the very expensive ship,
• 38:10
  Speaker 13: and it was fine, but it took a little beating.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: They shouldn't be doing that.
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: So you'll find out, Well, will you, let's respond, where's
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: your message to a wrong respond You're going.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: To find out.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: You're going to find out America. So am I and
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: so will. Ben Dominich, my guest editor of the opinion
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: pages at The Daily Wire, Fox News contributor, hosted the
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Big Ben Podcast. Ben, Before I get to your very
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: provocative monologue on the Big Ben Podcast this weekend, how
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: do you respond to the President in the oval on
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Friday afternoon?
• 38:41
  Speaker 14: Well, I think that what we've seen from the President
• 38:44
  Speaker 14: has been very consistent, which is that he's been a
• 38:47
  Speaker 14: lot less of a cheerleader for this deal than someone
• 38:50
  Speaker 14: who was I would say skeptical based on prior Iranian
• 38:55
  Speaker 14: behavior about their ability to live up to it. And
• 38:59
  Speaker 14: I think you know, from from almost the moment this
• 39:02
  Speaker 14: was announced, you know, he has been saying, you know,
• 39:05
  Speaker 14: if they violate this deal, then we'll just go back
• 39:07
  Speaker 14: to bombing them, and that's been somewhat inconsistent, quite frankly,
• 39:11
  Speaker 14: with other cheerleaders of this deal. And I think that
• 39:15
  Speaker 14: it's an indication that he always has been keeping that
• 39:19
  Speaker 14: in his back pocket, ready to do more. And I
• 39:22
  Speaker 14: think that the Iranians doing something this rapidly, especially after
• 39:28
  Speaker 14: the attempts by you know, both the Vice President and
• 39:32
  Speaker 14: then of course Marco Rubio and his own negotiations to
• 39:36
  Speaker 14: smooth things over and to try to put things on
• 39:38
  Speaker 14: a better glide path, I think the President's just set
• 39:42
  Speaker 14: up with them. I think that he's tired of dealing
• 39:44
  Speaker 14: with people who can't be relied on to stop from
• 39:47
  Speaker 14: shooting even for you know, a brief period of time.
• 39:51
  Speaker 14: And that's something that I think is going to result
• 39:53
  Speaker 14: obviously in the President making decisions militarily that are likely
• 39:58
  Speaker 14: to lead us right back to where we were, unfortunately
• 40:01
  Speaker 14: for the markets.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 40:02
  Speaker 14: And I think that the President, you know, as I've
• 40:04
  Speaker 14: said before, does not want to accept a bad deal
• 40:07
  Speaker 14: that can't be that can't be kept faith with by
• 40:10
  Speaker 14: the Iranians, that he does not believe will ensure a
• 40:14
  Speaker 14: non nuclear Iran for the foreseeable future. And that is, unfortunately,
• 40:19
  Speaker 14: I think, where we find ourselves today, all right.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Ben Dominich. The markets closed down a tiny bit like
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: zero point zero nine percent on the Dow on Friday,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: but oil was below seventy on Friday after the attack
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: by Iran on Thursday.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: So I want to.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Go to your very provocative, very interesting I must listen
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: for the audience monologue on the Big Ben podcast in
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: which you were talking about whether or not the Vance
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: approach is being set up as an oppositional.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Approach to the Rubio approach.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Now, I don't deal it that way. I am rather
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: sangue about this situation. I think Vice President Vance is
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: split wide right and Rubio has bit wide left, and
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the quarterback remains Donald Trump, and he called to play,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: and they're both running their routes, and they're all on
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: the same team, and they talk all the time, and
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: I think they're just having They're running different routes to
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: the same end of scoring and winning. To borrow to
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: beat my analogy into the ground, you, however, seem to well,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: you don't seem you said the Vice president's trying to
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: shut down or actually those in his orbit are trying
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: to shut down criticism of the MoU If they are,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: they're not very good at it because there's a lot
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: of it. But what about my theory, the Seguine theory
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: that we're in the phony war after the election, will
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: found the living daylights out of them if they haven't
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: succumbed yet.
• 41:39
  Speaker 14: Well, I think that both aspects of that could be
• 41:43
  Speaker 14: true to a certain extent, because I think that what
• 41:45
  Speaker 14: the Vice President could be arguing, even if it is
• 41:49
  Speaker 14: you know, the right flanker versus left flank, or however
• 41:52
  Speaker 14: you want to say it, the point is that I
• 41:55
  Speaker 14: think that he could be arguing this from the perspective
• 41:58
  Speaker 14: of we just need to get through November and then
• 42:01
  Speaker 14: will have this argument again. The problem is that I
• 42:04
  Speaker 14: think that internally, you know, there is a definite split
• 42:09
  Speaker 14: in terms of the way that different people on different
• 42:12
  Speaker 14: sides of this issue talk to me about what's being
• 42:15
  Speaker 14: said and about essentially the way that and Rubio, as
• 42:20
  Speaker 14: you have heard him, you know, is very realistic about this,
• 42:24
  Speaker 14: the way that these different people are talking. And I
• 42:26
  Speaker 14: said this on Special Report the other day, I hear
• 42:29
  Speaker 14: different things from this administration about this deal. And I
• 42:33
  Speaker 14: think that on Capitol Hill they're very aware of that.
• 42:36
  Speaker 14: And one of the reasons they're very aware of that
• 42:38
  Speaker 14: is because it's not just the people. And this is
• 42:41
  Speaker 14: something that I think has become very clear in the
• 42:44
  Speaker 14: days since it is not just people who are opposed
• 42:48
  Speaker 14: to the president who opposed this deal, meaning you know,
• 42:50
  Speaker 14: the cadre of kind of loose Republicans, you know, however
• 42:55
  Speaker 14: you want to describe at Tom Tillis and Cassidy and
• 42:58
  Speaker 14: people like that. It is not just the people who
• 43:00
  Speaker 14: are hawkish like Tom Cotton who are opposed to this.
• 43:04
  Speaker 14: It is also people who view themselves as very closely
• 43:07
  Speaker 14: tied to the President's administration and to his agenda. And
• 43:10
  Speaker 14: I would include Rick Scott in that number, you know,
• 43:13
  Speaker 14: I would include the fact that Josh Holly came out,
• 43:15
  Speaker 14: you know, the day after this a deal went through
• 43:18
  Speaker 14: in terms of the announcement of what was within it,
• 43:20
  Speaker 14: and said, I don't think we should be sending a
• 43:22
  Speaker 14: dollar to a rant, you know, the same thing that
• 43:25
  Speaker 14: Ted Cruz said. And they can obviously navigate their way
• 43:28
  Speaker 14: to saying, well, you know, we're not technically sending you know,
• 43:31
  Speaker 14: American money, but you're freeing up money that the regime
• 43:34
  Speaker 14: is going to use to rebuild after you have bombed
• 43:38
  Speaker 14: the crap out of them. And I think that that's
• 43:40
  Speaker 14: something that you know, is really at present within this
• 43:43
  Speaker 14: this you know, Republican cohort and those are questions that
• 43:47
  Speaker 14: I think need to be taken seriously, and I don't
• 43:50
  Speaker 14: believe that everyone in this administration is really open to
• 43:54
  Speaker 14: that idea. They want to turn this into something that
• 43:57
  Speaker 14: is once again like a I mean a fealty is
• 44:00
  Speaker 14: too strong of a word. They just want people to
• 44:02
  Speaker 14: get in line with an idea that the president you
• 44:05
  Speaker 14: know it has backed is clearly does clearly want to work,
• 44:08
  Speaker 14: but also from my perspective, has a much more realistic
• 44:12
  Speaker 14: understanding of of how risky this is and how much
• 44:16
  Speaker 14: the Iranians have done in the past to just lie
• 44:19
  Speaker 14: and lie and lie again.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: So do you think it's possible that the president has
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: had the Vice president and Secretary Rubia in front of them,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: along with Susy Wilds on the right, and he says
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: to the Vice president, go sell this deal hard. And
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: he says to the Vice president, go knock this deal
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: without knocking the deal as you can. Because the Vice
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: president is at the Nixon Library on Thursday, sounding very Nixonian,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: citing the Vietnam peace process pieces at hand and the
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Christmas bombing, and then yeah, Secretary Rubio in the Middle
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Eastern Bahret and kuwait Uae saying, well, there are religious
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: theocrats and lunatics and that has in change. So I
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: just do you think it's orchestrated, Ben, I'm not sure. Hugh.
• 45:04
  Speaker 14: I would just suggest I don't think he has to
• 45:06
  Speaker 14: sit them down. I think that that's their natural posture
• 45:09
  Speaker 14: and role. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I think
• 45:12
  Speaker 14: that that, Look, there are certain factions of the Republican
• 45:17
  Speaker 14: coalition that would very much including most I would say,
• 45:20
  Speaker 14: of the Republicans in the House, who would very much
• 45:23
  Speaker 14: like to kick the can on this till after November.
• 45:26
  Speaker 14: They would like to just have something that's temporary and
• 45:28
  Speaker 14: then let's deal with it after whatever shakes out shakes out.
• 45:31
  Speaker 14: We want to hold the House. The only way we
• 45:33
  Speaker 14: can do that is with low gas prices. And that's
• 45:35
  Speaker 14: just them looking at their own job security. Fine, okay,
• 45:40
  Speaker 14: that's their priority. I think that there are others who
• 45:42
  Speaker 14: are basically saying, long term, is this even going to last?
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Is?
• 45:47
  Speaker 14: You know, should we even be making the case for it?
• 45:50
  Speaker 14: And you know, you see that in the polling data.
• 45:52
  Speaker 14: You see that in the in the tepid response from
• 45:55
  Speaker 14: Republicans that we've seen in the early polls from CBS
• 45:57
  Speaker 14: and others that have looked at this and basically said,
• 46:00
  Speaker 14: we don't feel like this is a victory. We don't
• 46:02
  Speaker 14: feel like this is a win. And for the Trump
• 46:05
  Speaker 14: voters who are kind of my you know, assessment of
• 46:09
  Speaker 14: people who you know regularly talk to me, who have
• 46:12
  Speaker 14: been die hard from the beginning, you know, they don't
• 46:14
  Speaker 14: feel like this is a win. They feel like this
• 46:17
  Speaker 14: is Wait a minute, why, you know, why are we
• 46:18
  Speaker 14: doing something like the JCPOA. I push back against that
• 46:22
  Speaker 14: because it isn't that, and Iran is in a very
• 46:26
  Speaker 14: very different position than it was at the point of
• 46:29
  Speaker 14: the JCPOA. But they have a basic knee jerk reaction
• 46:33
  Speaker 14: to the idea that Iran is going to come out
• 46:35
  Speaker 14: at the end of this with billions more to do
• 46:38
  Speaker 14: what they want with. And that's something that I understand.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Mark Tson and is Washington Post compay quotes David Albright,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: who I think most people agree is a fair observer,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: and Albright said, Iran smashed up. I mean, they're very
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: smashed up. They can't enrich, their central figures are gone,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: their missile factories are blown up. I've been reading Churchill's
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: World War two memoir. He was most concerned about the
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: aircraft factory's getting smashed up, not fire, not spitfire shot down,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: but the factories that can produce more spidfire. Haven't we
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: done that?
• 47:09
  Speaker 14: We have done that, though. I do think that we
• 47:12
  Speaker 14: have discovered through the process of this that our level
• 47:15
  Speaker 14: of intelligence about how much material that they had. And
• 47:19
  Speaker 14: you can actually read Senator Tim Sheehy sat down with
• 47:24
  Speaker 14: me this this week and he is the Saturday interview
• 47:27
  Speaker 14: at the Daily Wire, which will be up tomorrow, and
• 47:29
  Speaker 14: one of the points that he makes is that we
• 47:32
  Speaker 14: there was way more stuff that they had than we
• 47:35
  Speaker 14: knew about, and that that's troubling to him because he
• 47:38
  Speaker 14: doesn't know what the you know, what the binary is
• 47:41
  Speaker 14: there in terms of how much have we actually destroyed?
• 47:44
  Speaker 14: We think we've destroyed x amount x percentage of what
• 47:48
  Speaker 14: they had, but how confident can we be in that
• 47:50
  Speaker 14: given that they had a lot more of stuff than
• 47:54
  Speaker 14: we thought that they did In terms of he specifically
• 47:57
  Speaker 14: cites a couple of things about ballistic missile levels that
• 48:01
  Speaker 14: are interesting, and so from my perspective when I listen
• 48:03
  Speaker 14: to a guy like him, it's that is very much
• 48:06
  Speaker 14: I think in the mainstream of the Republican coalition. That
• 48:10
  Speaker 14: is not a neo con perspective. That is not a
• 48:13
  Speaker 14: Hawk perspective. It's not an isolations perspective. It's saying, we
• 48:16
  Speaker 14: need to get this right and we need to be
• 48:17
  Speaker 14: confident in it.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Right stand by, I'm going to talk with Ben during
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: the break about the NBA Draft and the World Cup,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: and then we'll come back on the other side and
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: talk about the nightmare in New York that people need
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: to escape from New York from. Don't go anywhere, I do,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: hear it. That's Ben Dominic thing with Welcome Back in America.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: You hear it with Ben Dominic. Ben. The Cavaliers picked
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: up in Milake Thomas from Arkansas with the thirty fourth pick. Yes,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: and that's okay. He's nineteen years old from Arkansas and
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: he's going to go to the G League. What'd you
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: make at your Wizards?
• 48:45
  Speaker 14: Well, I think AJ was the right pick here only
• 48:48
  Speaker 14: because I think you want to go with someone who
• 48:51
  Speaker 14: seems like they are both ready but also more reliable
• 48:55
  Speaker 14: in terms of being NBA ready in terms of your player.
• 48:59
  Speaker 14: You know, you don't you don't want somebody I think
• 49:01
  Speaker 14: who is a project and has a lot of you know,
• 49:04
  Speaker 14: problems with their game that need to be fixed when
• 49:07
  Speaker 14: you have the number one pick. I think that, you know,
• 49:09
  Speaker 14: obviously there was some question about this, but it seems
• 49:11
  Speaker 14: that the leadership made their decisions along you know, a
• 49:15
  Speaker 14: long time ago in terms of the actual reporting around it.
• 49:18
  Speaker 14: One thing that I think was interesting though, is, I mean,
• 49:22
  Speaker 14: the draft really had some interesting sort of This was
• 49:26
  Speaker 14: a loaded draft, I think, and I think that it
• 49:28
  Speaker 14: will be remembered as one that was loaded and people
• 49:30
  Speaker 14: could have gone in a lot of different directions. And
• 49:32
  Speaker 14: there's very strong possibility that we could look back at
• 49:35
  Speaker 14: this draft and say, how did you pass on that guy?
• 49:38
  Speaker 14: You know, because there certainly were people you know who
• 49:42
  Speaker 14: got passed on a cup I think could have gone higher.
• 49:44
  Speaker 14: And I think that there's also you know, some questions about,
• 49:48
  Speaker 14: you know, the way that the NBA you know, is
• 49:52
  Speaker 14: currently operating. I think that they understand that they want
• 49:55
  Speaker 14: to have stars in some of these markets that haven't
• 49:58
  Speaker 14: gotten it before. The the high of what happened in
• 50:02
  Speaker 14: New York with the Knicks. They want to see more
• 50:05
  Speaker 14: things like that that restore sort of basketball within cities.
• 50:10
  Speaker 14: And look, you know, the shadow sort of cast over
• 50:13
  Speaker 14: all of this is the honest trade and everything else
• 50:15
  Speaker 14: that's going on with that. I hope that you're happy
• 50:18
  Speaker 14: with where your calves are.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: You know, we're fine. Us is old, but he can't
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: bring him back, and you're too young. We're still on
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: our zone for three more years with Donovan. And let
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: me ask you, though, in terms of the World Cup,
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: who is your favorite European who's running around the country
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: commenting on the world So it's really been great fun.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: It's been the best thing to happen in the semi
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: sisquentennial period.
• 50:42
  Speaker 14: So I think that well, my favorite aspect of this
• 50:47
  Speaker 14: has actually been the confluence of two different things happening
• 50:51
  Speaker 14: at once. And I hope you noticed the political item
• 50:55
  Speaker 14: today on this front, complaining about the fact that the
• 50:59
  Speaker 14: World Cup is going well and they were all hoping,
• 51:02
  Speaker 14: apparently for it to be a massive disaster, and the
• 51:05
  Speaker 14: fact that it's gone well is something they view as
• 51:07
  Speaker 14: a problem, which I think is just the most hilarious
• 51:10
  Speaker 14: thing in the world. And of course, at the same time,
• 51:12
  Speaker 14: we have this massive heat wave happening in Europe, and
• 51:16
  Speaker 14: so everybody's arguing about air conditioning online, including these Europeans
• 51:21
  Speaker 14: who are here, who are benefiting from it and enjoying
• 51:24
  Speaker 14: it and wondering why they can't have it back at home.
• 51:26
  Speaker 14: And that's to me something that is just you know,
• 51:29
  Speaker 14: talk about an ultimate you know, shame the old world
• 51:32
  Speaker 14: kind of approach to this. No, actually, America can pull
• 51:35
  Speaker 14: off an amazing World Cup. And the fact that these
• 51:39
  Speaker 14: Democrats were apparently all hoping that this would just be,
• 51:43
  Speaker 14: you know, a crappy experience for the Europeans and that
• 51:45
  Speaker 14: they could use that as something to hold over Donald
• 51:48
  Speaker 14: Trump in the same way they hold over bits of
• 51:50
  Speaker 14: algae and the reflecting pool. It's just amazing to me
• 51:54
  Speaker 14: that they would actually admit it, and they do.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: So they do, and it doesn't matter. We're having a
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: great old time standby. We're coming back with Ben Dominic
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: on the Network.
• 52:03
  Speaker 7: I'm a center.
• 52:04
  Speaker 10: I'm saying, apples raised, Holloway, everything stays the state.
• 52:16
  Speaker 8: I'm a center.
• 52:16
  Speaker 10: I'm a saying on the business state Apple sin raise,
• 52:23
  Speaker 10: State of Anthings.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: Copulation Raised is from cigarettes at Sunset and the band
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: and the song written about by Selena Zito yesterday. It's
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: getting thousands and tens of thousands of views. It's called
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Possum Rock. I think Ben Domenich picks at the fiddle
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit in his past in his spare time.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Uh Ben, I want to talk to you about politics
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: for a moment, and the two sides of it up
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: In New York, they've got to melt down. The Democrats
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: are going communists. They're going anti Semitic, and not just
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: New York, but in New Jersey and Michigan. Grand Platinum
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: or self proclaimed communist in Maine. This should be setting
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: the Republicans up for a big win because they're so crazy.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, and I like Mike Lee, Mike
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Ley as a friend of mine, God love Mike Lee.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: The Save Act has gotten no chance of passing. He's
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: selling voodoo. It's not going to work. Why can't the
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Republicans just focus their fire on the left and just
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: you know, get the gatling gun out of rhetoric and
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: hit them again and again and again with what Chevalier
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: or Valdez or any of these crazy people say.
• 53:22
  Speaker 14: Well, I think in a certain respects Hugh, they're making
• 53:26
  Speaker 14: a mistake that I believe they've been making for a while,
• 53:29
  Speaker 14: which is that they're taking these developments unseeriously. Republicans have
• 53:36
  Speaker 14: pointed and laughed, I think for far too long at
• 53:39
  Speaker 14: the fact that the Democratic Party has accepted and promoted
• 53:42
  Speaker 14: these DSA candidates. And the truth is that what they
• 53:46
  Speaker 14: actually do represent is something very dangerous. And the reason
• 53:49
  Speaker 14: that they represent that is because they are not just influencers.
• 53:53
  Speaker 14: They are not just people trying to get clicks. They
• 53:55
  Speaker 14: are people who are steeped in this and they are
• 53:58
  Speaker 14: going to come into the Congress and they are going
• 54:00
  Speaker 14: to try to use every lever of power that they
• 54:03
  Speaker 14: have to take over the Democratic establishment, to become party chairman,
• 54:08
  Speaker 14: to make the Democratic Party into the DSA itself. And
• 54:13
  Speaker 14: the thing is, I think that Democratic Party is weak
• 54:15
  Speaker 14: enough that that could actually happen, and that the energy
• 54:20
  Speaker 14: behind this DSA movement is strong enough and young enough
• 54:25
  Speaker 14: that it could have kind of its own Obama esque
• 54:28
  Speaker 14: moment of basically, you know, toppling the leadership of a
• 54:32
  Speaker 14: party and replacing it with the person that they wanted.
• 54:35
  Speaker 14: Now we've seen that before. It takes a lot of effort,
• 54:39
  Speaker 14: and then there was a lot of effort put into
• 54:41
  Speaker 14: putting these candidates forward. It wasn't people act as if
• 54:44
  Speaker 14: there was just some kind of magic wand that happened
• 54:47
  Speaker 14: that Zorah Mandani went from having you know, eight hundred
• 54:50
  Speaker 14: followers to suddenly being this instant internet phenomenon. No, there
• 54:55
  Speaker 14: is work put into it. There was a whole superstructure
• 54:58
  Speaker 14: of DFA organizations that can out of the AOC campaign,
• 55:01
  Speaker 14: and that came out of that you know primary win
• 55:04
  Speaker 14: that fueled Mam Donnie's rise and has fueled the rise
• 55:08
  Speaker 14: of these other politicians who swept Haheim Jeffreys preferred candidates
• 55:13
  Speaker 14: in such a definitive way to see him try to
• 55:16
  Speaker 14: laugh it off and see other you know Democrats, you
• 55:19
  Speaker 14: know senators saying, oh, well, you know, politics is local
• 55:23
  Speaker 14: and these are just local elections in New York. No,
• 55:26
  Speaker 14: that's not what's happening. The DSA is taking over major cities.
• 55:30
  Speaker 14: It's taking over the Democratic Party. It has the energy,
• 55:33
  Speaker 14: it has the support of all these people, and they
• 55:35
  Speaker 14: are legitimately crazy, anti Semitic and believe in something fundamentally
• 55:41
  Speaker 14: different that would be unrecognizable to a Democrat from twenty
• 55:45
  Speaker 14: years ago.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to play for you, Mayor mon Donnie from
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Monday night before the election in just a second here.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: But I like to say the DSA candidates are anti West,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: anti American, anti Israel, anti Semitic in fact. And here's
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: what the had to say. Listen, Careflay to the rhetoric America.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: He believes this from Monday night.
• 56:05
  Speaker 15: The old world is dying and the new world struggles
• 56:09
  Speaker 15: to be born. Now is the time of monsters. These
• 56:13
  Speaker 15: monsters take many forms today in those who fund television
• 56:18
  Speaker 15: ads that blanket the airways with misleading and batbait, the
• 56:21
  Speaker 15: tax about Claire, Brad and Darry, those who would rather
• 56:25
  Speaker 15: spend far more on political contributions.
• 56:28
  Speaker 7: Than they would ever be made to pay in taxes.
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: In a pack, the old world.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Is done, the Apac line now, Ben the new world
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: is struggling to be born. That's that's so. It just
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: makes me ill because it's such bad rhetoric. And there
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: are monsters that he named Jews. This is really over
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: the top, Nuttery.
• 56:52
  Speaker 14: You know. The thing is that this is like the
• 56:54
  Speaker 14: Onion become real life. There's an old yes Onion piece.
• 56:58
  Speaker 14: I don't know if you ever saw the Onion TVPCE
• 57:01
  Speaker 14: where it's like you need to you know, give your
• 57:03
  Speaker 14: give your your you know your different emotions as simple
• 57:05
  Speaker 14: for this, for instance, this one agreed and they throw
• 57:08
  Speaker 14: up and completely keep submitted, you know, Carrit Jarrett something
• 57:12
  Speaker 14: like that, and or or you know, in this case,
• 57:15
  Speaker 14: you know it is I mean, I it's the boorad agenda,
• 57:18
  Speaker 14: throw the chew down the well so that people can
• 57:19
  Speaker 14: be free. You know, they believe this is believe they
• 57:25
  Speaker 14: don't believe it, and so we can't.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: We can't.
• 57:28
  Speaker 14: I don't want to be mucking around with any of
• 57:32
  Speaker 14: these other questions until we confront this stuff and confront
• 57:35
  Speaker 14: it consistently. And I think unfortunately too many Republicans are
• 57:39
  Speaker 14: still operating under the assumption that, hey, this is actually
• 57:43
  Speaker 14: politically beneficial for us, because they're saying crazy stuff, the
• 57:46
  Speaker 14: same kind of reaction quite frankly, that we saw here
• 57:49
  Speaker 14: in Virginia when Jay Jones text came out about him
• 57:52
  Speaker 14: fantasizing about killing Republicans. Guess what he won by eight points.
• 57:56
  Speaker 14: And so that this is the thing that I think
• 57:59
  Speaker 14: is going that to change in the Republican rhetoric. They
• 58:01
  Speaker 14: need to understand that these people are serious. They need
• 58:04
  Speaker 14: to take them seriously, and they have to deal with
• 58:06
  Speaker 14: them as a serious problem, not as a sideshow, not
• 58:09
  Speaker 14: as a joke. And they need to understand the democratic
• 58:11
  Speaker 14: establishment that was for so many years, so strong that
• 58:15
  Speaker 14: you know, did whatever an Nancy wanted them to do,
• 58:17
  Speaker 14: and you know she kept to these people kind of
• 58:20
  Speaker 14: locked in their own box and gave them little, you know,
• 58:23
  Speaker 14: projects to focus on. That Democratic Party is no more.
• 58:27
  Speaker 14: They will not hold back this tidal wave.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: And last comment for you to respond to, Ben, That's
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: why I think the Say Act and senatorly should go
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: to the side. That's why I think the normal regular
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: order and the appropriations got to go to the side.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: The Democrats are going to shut down the government come
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: the fall. They had to pass a reconciliation for the
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: entire government, but at least the Pentagon for three years
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: because the other party is not serious about the West
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: and about America.
• 58:52
  Speaker 14: So you know, they're not they're not, and they're not
• 58:54
  Speaker 14: going to be there when it needs to be defended.
• 58:57
  Speaker 14: And I again I have it's kind of a thing
• 59:01
  Speaker 14: that I've been arguing for two years now. There is
• 59:04
  Speaker 14: too much assumption on the American right that the twenty
• 59:07
  Speaker 14: twenty four election was decisive and represented a definitive win,
• 59:12
  Speaker 14: that we are not going to have some kind of
• 59:14
  Speaker 14: situation where one of these people ends up in JD
• 59:17
  Speaker 14: Vance's job in two years, which is very possible. I mean,
• 59:21
  Speaker 14: that's really you know, like I don't think the DSA
• 59:24
  Speaker 14: may not be able to elect the president yet, but
• 59:27
  Speaker 14: very quickly, Ben is.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: The lords are coming in of explosions in shiak Iran
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: near the Strait of Hormones. You think we did it,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: pulled the trigger on pushing them back. I think we did,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: And that would be a good thing.
• 59:42
  Speaker 14: Well, it would bear out what we were talking about
• 59:44
  Speaker 14: at the beginning of our segment. Yeah, but certainly, you know,
• 59:48
  Speaker 14: I think, like I said, the president's fed up. He's
• 59:51
  Speaker 14: had enough of this. He doesn't like people who just
• 59:55
  Speaker 14: lie and completely go back on their word, especially in
• 59:59
  Speaker 14: short order, and I expect him to fire back and
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 14: to you know, we may be in a position here
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 14: where we're talking next week about them resuming a lot
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 14: of this and going out of the targets quite frankly
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 14: that they did not go after before.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: They hit one bridge on one freighter, And I bet
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: you are three Jdems or whatever we sent hit exactly
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: what they were intended for. You think so, Ben?
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean I have a lot more confidence than
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 14: our aim.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: Now and I hope that report is true. Ben Dobinich,
• 1:00:30

• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: I'm Hewitt. Join now by former United States Senator Jim Tallent,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: he of the Reagan Institute for the Peace through Strength Board.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: Remember there, Jim Talent. Welcome back. Yesterday Iran broke the MLU.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: They attacked the IOGC attacked a freighter flagged by Singapore.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: They hit it. They hit it in the in the bridge.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: No one was killed, but they damaged the freighter. What
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: ought the President to do in response?
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 8: Well, I would strike back, probably proportionately.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 16: You know, I don't think you can understand anything going
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 16: on in the street unless I don't think we can
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 16: understand it unless we keep firmly in our minds that
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 16: Iran has suffered a strategic defeat.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: In the last year.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 16: I mean before that, they were an aggressive and powerful
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 16: nation state that controlled Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, much of Yemen,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 16: and now their capabilities have been produced essentially the subnational level.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 8: They're like the Huthis and they want to rebuild. And
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 8: what have they got.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 16: They've got an agreement that lets him move oil through
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 16: the Strait for the next five months.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 8: That's not going to do it.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 16: So they're trying to use the one piece of leverage
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 16: they've got, which is their ability to threaten the Strait,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 16: to get as much money as they can. And yes,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 16: I think we should punish them, but the thing we
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 16: have to avoid doing, and I'm sure we will, is
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 16: getting them some large lump sum of money that enables
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 16: them to begin putting together the strategy of the last
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 16: twenty five years, which is now in shambles.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Center Talent. I have been reading Churchill's World War Two
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Memoirs with Doctor Larry on on the Hilltale Dialogue, which
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: is coming up next hour, and not this week, but
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: in the following week after next, so it's two weeks
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: from today. We will be telling you about the Finest
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: Hour speech. Right before he gave that speech, he sent
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: a note to the Dominions Australia News in South Africa
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: and he said, hey, we're in this to win it.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: The greatest danger we face is that they bomb our
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: aircraft factories at night. Who wasn't worried about the fighters
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: going down? Though it was a grievous, a grievous blow
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: whenever they lost an RAF pilot, But he needed to
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: keep making the airplanes and or they would be run
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: by the German. They can't make the missiles now, they
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: can't make the grounds. That's all gone. Isn't that the
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: thing we're overlooking.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 16: I think a lot of people are overlooking at you
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 16: because I mean, look, not all of it is in
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 16: bad faith.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 8: I think there's a lot of people and you and
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 8: I agree with them.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 16: About everything, or almost everything, who were hoping this would
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 16: result in the collapse of the Iranian regime.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 8: I think the collapse is inevitable. I just don't know
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 8: how inminate it is.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 16: But the point is the facts on the ground have changed.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 16: The correlation of forces as the Soviets used to talk
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 16: about it has changed, and I think the Iranians are
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 16: starting to come to terms with at themselves, realizing where
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 16: they're at, and understanding again their whole strategy the last
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 16: twenty five years, all the years I've lived with it
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 16: when I was in the Senate, It's gone now. So
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 16: they are a problem now that we can manage, and
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 16: I think what the President's trying to do is stabilize
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 16: oil prices over the next five or six months. I
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 16: agree with with what you ask or mentioned to Mark Montgomery.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 16: I think it was yesterday, might have been Wednesday that Look,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 16: you know, we get through the end of the year
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 16: and then it's a whole new ballgame. So but I
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 16: do think we can't let them just strike at things
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 16: without imposing costs.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: So when I'm back, it was, yeah, I did want
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: to bring up to you Secretary Rubio and Vice President Fans.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: I am not of the opinion that they are at odds.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: I actually think they're working hand in gout. They actually
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: share staff. I don't know if people know this, they
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: share staff between the National Security Council and the Vice
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: President's office. They I don't think they're in conflict with
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: each other. I think they have different jobs and emphasize
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: different things, but I'd be amazed if they weren't talking
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: every day. What do you think?
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 16: Oh, I agree with that, And here I will say
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 16: to you you that personal friendship in this sort of
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 16: thing matters. And from everything I can tell and everything
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 16: I've heard, they are friends and they're both honorable people.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 16: I think when Rubio said, look, I'm not going to
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 16: run for president if you do, I think he meant that. Now,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 16: we don't know what is going to happen in the
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 16: next two years. We don't know what the President's going
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 16: to say about all that. They don't know that either.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 16: I think Vance is clearly the front runner and Rubio
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 16: would clearly be a fallback if Vance falters, and I
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 16: think Vance is going to be given the opportunity to
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 16: show he can do the job, get the nomination, and win.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 8: If he's in trouble, I think they'll talk about it
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 8: and decide what to do.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 16: But no, I do not see this as some kind
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 16: of a byzantine power struggle at all between the two
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 16: of them. I think Vance has been given a very
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 16: hard job, and Rubio is trying to help him, or
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 16: at the very least not make it more difficult.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: For him.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: So Senator last question is to the politics of this week.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: The Democratic Party went flying over the left Cliff Alma
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: and Louis Style on Tuesday, and I, along with Hamowe
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: Hawami in New Jersey el say at Graham Plattina, the
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: self professed communist in Maine, is a radical anti semi
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: they just lot. There's another one in Denver running against
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: Diane to get who you may have served with, my goodness,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: has been in Congress for thirty years. All of these
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: people are out there, and I think the Democratic Party
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: is now stapled to Mondami and his anti Israel, anti
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: Semitic extent. How do they possibly govern with that kind
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: of radicalism.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 16: It's going to be very, very difficult, as other left
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 16: of center parties are finding out, you know, in other
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 16: Western democracies. And you you know, I'm normally, as far
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 16: as elections are concerned, I'm normally a glass is half
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 16: empty guy. And I'm not saying this year is going
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 16: to be good for the Republicans. But I've thought for
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 16: months and months that people who think it's going to
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 16: be good for the Democrats have not considered the vast
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 16: amount of material that they have given the Republicans to
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 16: use in the next four or five months, and this
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 16: is one of them. I mean, this stuff doesn't go away. You,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 16: I mean, I don't have to tell you that.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: And well, I want to know, thank Clay, does it
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: matter to a Midwestern congressman or to a congressman out
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: in California who's running in one of the new districts
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: against a Republican What Democrats in New York and New
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Jersey and Michigan and Maine are saying, Does it actually matter?
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: Can you nationalize a house race?
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: Yes you can.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 16: And obviously a congressman in that position is going to
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 16: want to try and keep it from mattering. But he's
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 16: going to be trying to hit his republic opponent, a
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 16: Republican opponent, with things that are happening nationally that he
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 16: thinks the voters don't like.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 8: So you see you immediately come back.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 16: I mean the instant they say something about the president's
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 16: ballroom or something, which is I don't have a problem
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 16: with the President, Bob, it's something that they think voters
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 16: won't like about Trump. Then they're going to pull up Mom, Donnie,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 16: They're gonna pull up Newsom, and this all this fraud
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 16: I mean, there's just a lot of material. It's a
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 16: target rich environment out there.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 10: You.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: I am not a pessimist either. I'm glad to know
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: that Jim Tellent isn't as well about November. It's gonna
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: be hard fought. We'll keep you posted every day here,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Senator Talent, have a great weekend as we get ready
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: for the semi test when Sennial TEMI SES win Pennial
