  Welcome to the weekend news magazine.
• 1:35
  Viewpoint this Sunday.
• 1:36
  It is Malcolm Out Loud here and welcome to the broadcast, my fellow Americans, and uh I hope you're not traveling.
• 1:42
  Man, those lines in the TSA, I'll tell you what, I I have avoided any travel in the last couple of weeks.
• 1:49
  Uh is it looks like it's a tough road uh for these weights that are now four or five hours long and uh really really rattling the cages of Americans.
• 1:58
  Uh we'll see how this all works out.
• 2:00
  But Congress uh has the uh well, a low approval rating already.
• 2:04
  I think it's down in the single digits is running to close to now.
• 2:07
  I don't know how much lower it can fall, but but it may go negative be below zero if that's possible.
• 2:13
  I don't know.
• 2:13
  But but that is that is a big story here, the traveling, of course.
• 2:17
  And then as we get into the Middle East, there's a lot of nuances there.
• 2:20
  You see, President Trump extended 10 days uh to the Iranians.
• 2:24
  Uh people are wondering who we really are negotiating with.
• 2:27
  Uh again, Houthis are now getting involved in the story, a lot to talk about there as well.
• 2:31
  And later in the broadcast, we have one of the uh foremost uh uh brilliant minds in terrorism.
• 2:37
  I mean, he was in the room with them, and uh the uh all the water board on the Al-Qaeda, all of that.
• 2:42
  Dr.
• 2:42
  James Mitchell will be here and always look forward to having him on later in the broadcast.
• 2:46
  So that's a big one uh for us here.
• 2:49
  We're gonna start off here on the uh top of the broadcast here with a terrific group here and uh privilege to have on here.
• 2:54
  IQ Al Razuli joins us.
• 2:56
  He's an Iraqi exile.
• 2:58
  He's an Arabic speaker, scholar, author, and uh an analyst out of the UK, and uh covers all of these uh topics.
• 3:04
  As you know, he's uh uh frequent voice here on the network.
• 3:08
  Another frequent voice, and and even more so, Wallace Garnot, part of the America Outloud family.
• 3:12
  Uh while he is a political analyst and commentator, served in the U.S.
• 3:16
  Marine Corps.
• 3:16
  Uh, he's uh author of that great book, The Way Forward, Lean Leadership and Systems, thinking for large and small businesses.
• 3:24
  And then he's also host of Cotton Through the Chaos.
• 3:27
  We're all trying to do that, right?
• 3:28
  9 a.m.
• 3:29
  Eastern time, Saturday and Sunday.
• 3:31
  Uh Wally is by far one of the one of the most brilliant writers you'll come across.
• 3:37
  Read his pieces, his op-eds uh on the network at America Rot Loud.news.
• 3:42
  He's best in class, there's no doubt about it.
• 3:44
  And a gentleman I'm eating for the first time here today, Michael Letz is here, and he's a global security expert, law enforcement expert as well, U.S.
• 3:51
  Army veteran, international relations expert.
• 3:54
  And then uh he's a founder and president and CEO of Invest USA.
• 3:59
  Very interesting what he's doing there.
• 4:01
  And uh these are uh bullet resistant vest and this sort of thing through education police, uh police, and this is very cool stuff.
• 4:08
  Uh he's uh looking at here.
• 4:10
  Good to have you all join us here now.
• 4:12
  Let's start with the shutdowns first here.
• 4:14
  So there's been a key series of these shutdowns.
• 4:16
  If you go back to Trump's first administration, in January 2018, there was a three-day one, February 2018, there was another one, and then uh there was another 2018-2019, lasted 35 days, you recall, and then we had the mother of all shutdowns.
• 4:31
  That was the 43-day shutdown, the longest in U.S.
• 4:34
  history.
• 4:34
  Uh, that was in in Trump's uh uh 2.0 here.
• 4:39
  Uh, and that was on October uh first, uh, 2025, actually.
• 4:43
  Uh so and that went right into November, of course.
• 4:46
  So uh this is becoming uh a routine thing, and uh now we see the current shutdown here of what's happening to part of the government, of course, this time around here.
• 4:56
  Uh let's start with you, Wally, Wallace Garneau.
• 4:59
  And um so Wally, there you we see the series of these things happen, and they seem to be governing now and using this as leverage to shut the government down and because they don't get their way.
• 5:08
  And it's really become very, I mean, incredibly polarized here.
• 5:13
  It's kind of surreal almost that they're doing this and and poking at each other with these shutdowns.
• 5:18
  Who are they trying to hurt?
• 5:19
  Not themselves, obviously, huh?
• 5:20
  Well, they're trying to enact legislation that Republicans just simply aren't going to abide by and and and what they want to do is they want to shut down ice and they want to shut down border patrol.
• 5:29
  They want to shut it down completely.
• 5:30
  So they're saying we're willing to fund TSA, but we're not willing to fund border patrol, we're not willing to fund ICE.
• 5:35
  So we'll give you a bill that will alleviate all the lines in the airports as long as there's no funding for ice and as long as there's no funding for border patrol.
• 5:43
  They're holding the country hostage in order to enact legislation that they know they can't pass because they don't have the votes in Congress, they don't have the presidency.
• 5:50
  And uh yeah, it's a it's a horrific how they're governing by shutdown because they don't have any of the power, right?
• 5:55
  They don't it's exactly right.
• 5:57
  They don't have the power, so the only thing they can do, and shutdown is a term that I hate to use because it's not really a shutdown.
• 6:02
  What it is is we can't go further in debt without Congress saying that that you without Congress authorizing a higher debt limit.
• 6:10
  If we could figure out how to balance the budget, we wouldn't have to shut anything down because we wouldn't require the debt.
• 6:15
  So it's not even really a shutdown.
• 6:17
  It's just we can't go further in debt, and how do you fund our our government right now without doing so?
• 6:22
  You'd have to have radical cuts somewhere.
• 6:23
  You know, you think about this a moment here now.
• 6:26
  It took four years uh for them to create all that momentum and destroying the borders, uh creating a wild west here uh in the country.
• 6:34
  All of that was a lot of time and treasure they spent, Wallace, you know, all that time.
• 6:38
  And so now you think about what are they doing?
• 6:41
  Well, it's obviously this is a big deal to them.
• 6:43
  They don't want to go back.
• 6:44
  I mean, Trump has really he done tremendous progress on the border, and it looks like they don't want to keep it that way.
• 6:50
  And I guess what are they more worried about?
• 6:51
  The votes, they worried about they just need something to run on right now, an issue.
• 6:55
  They don't have an issue anywhere, so I think they're just trying to make up an issue.
• 6:59
  This is probably the one, no?
• 7:00
  Well, that's part of it.
• 7:01
  I think they also want to change the culture of the country, and they want to do that by bringing people in.
• 7:06
  Let's not forget Doge found that uh we were spending 195 billion dollars a year under Joe Biden through U.S.
• 7:12
  aid into various non-government organizations who were paying to migrate people illegally into our country.
• 7:18
  We were paying 195 billion dollars a year to illegally migrate people into Joe Biden.
• 7:23
  We can't forget that.
• 7:24
  So absolutely, that is the direction they want to go.
• 7:27
  They want to get as many people into our country as they can that are not Americans that don't understand our constitution, that don't necessarily want the American way of life, so that they can, you know, just just bury it in people and and and they want us to be some form of collectivism, which which form of collectivism, depending on who you ask on the left, they have various views.
• 7:46
  But they want this to be a collectivist country.
• 7:48
  Uh Michael Letz, let's uh talk about the uh a little bit of the TSA here as well.
• 7:52
  But first, how long do you think first answer this?
• 7:54
  How long do you think this could go on for Michael?
• 7:57
  This uh charade they're they're pulling off here.
• 8:00
  Well, I think it's gonna go on for quite some time.
• 8:02
  You you saw how the uh Senate uh skipped its responsibility, including a bunch of rhinos, and I'm disappointed with the uh well majority leader as well.
• 8:11
  What they thought they'd do is give a temporary fix to one problem and not solve the overall solution.
• 8:18
  Let's go ahead and fund TSA, but we won't fund ICE, we won't fund border patrol, make substantial cuts there.
• 8:24
  Why is it so important for them to do that?
• 8:27
  I think really, Malcolm, the reason it's so important is because they're dependent on these illegal immigrants' votes to be able to win elections.
• 8:35
  And that's why, you know, they're so adamant against the SAVE Act.
• 8:38
  What we supposed to get out of this, if you pass something, if we agree to okay, we won't take full funding for border patrol, we won't take full funding for ICE, get TSA fully funded, the Coast Guard fully funded, FEMA fully funded, and also attach the SAVE Act so that we can get election integrity at the same time.
• 8:58
  You notice they coped out on all that.
• 9:00
  They only did what they thought was the bare minimum to pass it over to the House.
• 9:03
  The House is rejecting that now.
• 9:05
  Mike says, uh no, we're not gonna play those kind of games.
• 9:08
  But it is so important to the Democrats because they have to get back in power.
• 9:13
  And they feel like this is a uh do or die situation.
• 9:17
  They have to keep these illegal immigrants.
• 9:19
  Michael, who does this hurt more?
• 9:20
  The Republicans or Democrats.
• 9:22
  I think it hurts the Democrats more, but I think they're able to cut put some of that venom on the Republicans as well.
• 9:28
  And that's what makes it so sad.
• 9:29
  Exactly.
• 9:30
  I think you're right.
• 9:31
  So is uh as a security guy yourself, and and looking at this thing now with the TSA, I mean the long incredible lines, uh, you know, uh and the TSA, they the Department of Homeland Security says if there's a major any kind of an event right now, anything at all that happens out of the norm will make it even worse.
• 9:49
  In other words, our aviation system is in crisis mode and could completely collapse.
• 9:55
  Uh, they're suggesting if we don't start to get this together.
• 9:58
  It and I wonder m myself a little bit here.
• 10:00
  Year, if that's what it's going to take to get these morons to the table and start playing like Americans instead of Democrats and Republicans, huh?
• 10:07
  I think you're right, Malcolm, but I think there's another aspect to this as well.
• 10:10
  The president's pretty brilliant.
• 10:12
  He says, fine.
• 10:12
  If you want to play that game, we'll send ICE over there.
• 10:15
  Oh, guess what?
• 10:16
  It's beginning to work.
• 10:17
  We're beginning to reduce the lines.
• 10:18
  Now I understand that I still have the primary responsibility of getting rid of these illegal criminals because that's what causes the crime to go down.
• 10:26
  So the president is shifting gears.
• 10:27
  Well, since it does work, bringing additional personnel in there, let's just bring in the National Guard.
• 10:33
  It doesn't take a rocket scientist, Malcolm, to guard doors and to screen people as they go through security.
• 10:39
  That's right.
• 10:39
  That's right.
• 10:40
  100%.
• 10:41
  You're exactly right here.
• 10:42
  Um this this TSA event.
• 10:44
  Uh I mean, I, you know, I was just saying to my wife yesterday, uh, I wouldn't uh you wouldn't get me to an airport right now.
• 10:51
  I have zero patients for morons, and I cannot stand in line for four or five hours.
• 10:55
  I wouldn't do it.
• 10:56
  I if it's not a drivable thing, you could not get me to the airport right now.
• 11:00
  Uh I wouldn't do it.
• 11:01
  Wally, what about you?
• 11:02
  Would you uh would you would you fly right now?
• 11:04
  Serious, would you would you go to an airport and stand there for five hours and fly?
• 11:08
  We're supposed to go to Pierre Villarda just about a month from now, so uh I'm gonna have to.
• 11:12
  It'll be settled by then, though, won't it?
• 11:14
  I I honestly don't know that it will be.
• 11:17
  Talk to me on that.
• 11:18
  As long as as long as well, we the mainstream media is in bed with the Democrats on this.
• 11:21
  As long as they can spin it as we want to open TSA and then those damned Republicans won't let us, as long as that's the narrative in the media.
• 11:28
  I don't know why the Democrats have any impetus to solve this at all.
• 11:32
  All of this is being done, uh, Wally on the shadow of the midterm elections, which are coming quick here now.
• 11:39
  And uh so, in other words, all the decisions that are being made uh have to be strategic in nature because this thing, you know, Americans are they're seeing the pain right now and what's happening here.
• 11:51
  Who talk about?
• 11:52
  I mean, you're you're a good guy on psychology and political that who who do you think will ri who gets through this?
• 12:00
  I mean, if you if you could guess right now who gets through it and who rises to the top with all the nuances going on, because right now, let's face it, Trump has a lot of a lot of planes he has to land uh because he's got a lot of things going on around the world right now, and he's got to get back to the economy domestically, or they're gonna have some real problems in the midterms.
• 12:17
  What how do you see it right now, Wally?
• 12:19
  I think it all hinges on Iran.
• 12:21
  If the Iranian regime falls and uh we're able to put something in Iran that gives peace in the Middle East, which is what would happen if they are if the regime fell.
• 12:28
  I think uh the Republicans carry the midterms very, very easily.
• 12:31
  And if the existing regime is still in Iran when the midterms come, we lose just as badly.
• 12:36
  Wow, it's all gonna hinge on Iran.
• 12:38
  It's not going to hinge on T.
• 12:40
  So you're saying you think you kind of think it's gone from the economy to the Middle East right now.
• 12:44
  Absolutely.
• 12:45
  Well, the economy is following the Middle East.
• 12:46
  If the Strait of Hormuz opens, then oil comes down to the economy catches on fire.
• 12:50
  Yeah.
• 12:51
  Straight of Hormuz stays closed, then the economy goes into recession, and uh it all hinges on Iran right now.
• 12:56
  Yeah, that's that's uh that's a great point here.
• 12:58
  Michael, you you have a different view on what uh Wallace is sharing there, or you feel the same.
• 13:03
  Actually, I feel the same way.
• 13:04
  I feel very strongly that uh if we are able to get Iran the regime change, that it still frees up so many aspects for our economy that it changes the economic position.
• 13:16
  Plus, it gives us the ability now to focus in on bringing uh and dealing with corruption within our own government.
• 13:22
  I think if we do those two things, I think the midterms will be uh a cinch.
• 13:26
  If we don't, I think we're gonna get whipped.
• 13:28
  Yeah, interesting.
• 13:29
  So there's a lot to happen here in the next few months for sure here.
• 13:32
  Let's get IQ Al Razuli into the conversation.
• 13:34
  Before I get to the Middle East, uh IQ.
• 13:37
  Well uh you from across the pond there.
• 13:39
  What are you seeing here with all of this chaos right now with the airports, Congress, uh their inability to govern uh American people?
• 13:48
  I mean, I think they're gonna get shorter patients by by the minute here.
• 13:51
  This is getting pretty rough here, huh?
• 13:52
  What do you think?
• 13:53
  I know for a fact 38% of the American public are brand dead.
• 13:57
  That I know for a fact.
• 13:58
  The other 50% are MAGA.
• 14:01
  The ones that Trump has got to concentrate on are the 12 undecided.
• 14:06
  They are the ones who will make or break the new election.
• 14:10
  Correct me if I'm wrong.
• 14:12
  Well, no, they're the ones who pushed them well over the top here for the last election, in fact.
• 14:16
  He won all that middle ground.
• 14:17
  He won a lot of categories that he hadn't won before.
• 14:20
  If they can drag it out longer, the Iranians know they will they will create havoc globally and here in the U.S.
• 14:27
  don't you see that?
• 14:28
  Correct, but the uh Trump has to make sure on a weekly basis to talk directly to the American people.
• 14:36
  He's got to give them a choice.
• 14:38
  Yeah, you will have unpleasant short-term expenses, or do you want uh for an eternity of being under the thumb of the threat of the Ayatollah regime?
• 14:50
  Which one do you want?
• 14:51
  Well, that's how we should approach it.
• 14:53
  I hear you, but a lot of people do do not and you don't agree with this statement, but a lot of Americans don't see that as a threat or a problem.
• 15:02
  I know you can jump up and down and scream in the room.
• 15:04
  I'm not gonna be jumping down.
• 15:07
  A lot of you 28% are brand dead already.
• 15:09
  Well that I know.
• 15:10
  Uh sure, sure.
• 15:12
  But but uh look for the 12%.
• 15:14
  Yeah, that's what I can tell you.
• 15:16
  All right, let's talk about how's how's this Middle East war going in your opinion?
• 15:19
  How's it going?
• 15:20
  I guess.
• 15:20
  Well, so far the Americans and the Israelis have achieved in the fourth week by the fourth week, more than the United States and the combined forces against uh Nazi Germany and Japan did in three years.
• 15:37
  This is unprecedented.
• 15:39
  Iran had the most sophisticated anti-aircraft missile defense system.
• 15:45
  They have spread over 47 years to 20,000 positions all over Iran is 800,000 square kilometers.
• 15:54
  It's not a joke.
• 15:55
  So does small country.
• 15:56
  Right, right.
• 15:57
  It's a gigantic country.
• 15:58
  No, it is big, and they're what 90 million, right?
• 16:00
  Yes, but it's not only 90 million.
• 16:02
  They spread their assets all over Iran.
• 16:05
  Yeah.
• 16:06
  At the moment, between the Israelis and the Americans, they have destroyed at least 15,000 targets.
• 16:12
  Yeah, there are 5,000 more to go.
• 16:13
  How longer does this go on for in your in your in your professional opinion?
• 16:17
  Maximum need is two uh two weeks.
• 16:20
  Yeah, maximum.
• 16:21
  That's what I'm saying.
• 16:21
  Because the rate of the rate they are bombarding, the rate they're attacking, is unbelievable.
• 16:26
  It's unprecedented, unprecedented.
• 16:28
  Yeah, yeah.
• 16:29
  I if it goes longer than that, it's gonna be trouble.
• 16:31
  But you're right.
• 16:32
  I think that's why, isn't that why he gave them 10 days?
• 16:35
  You see that a couple of exactly will have not only the Air Force complete, yeah, yeah.
• 16:40
  He will have not only the Navy complete, he will have the boots on the ground also complete.
• 16:47
  Yeah.
• 16:50
  The two landing crafts uh systems, yeah, all of them would be ready and at the point that he wants them to attack.
• 16:57
  Yeah.
• 16:58
  Now, what about the the Houthis are now joining?
• 17:00
  You're seeing the last 24 hours here, they're now shooting missiles into Tel Aviv as well.
• 17:05
  Uh I'm I what do you think took them so long to engage here?
• 17:08
  I wonder.
• 17:09
  Well, and I'll tell you why.
• 17:10
  Please the Houthis, although they are Shia, they are Zayis.
• 17:15
  They're not the Shia of the Iran.
• 17:17
  The Shia of Iran believe in the Ayatullah.
• 17:21
  The Zaydi don't have an Ayatullah.
• 17:23
  Okay.
• 17:23
  So they waited.
• 17:24
  But at the moment, the United States said Israel should attack them mercilessly and literally exterminate them.
• 17:32
  This is the best chance.
• 17:33
  By the way, the United States armed forces and the Navy, the Air Force, and everything, they're testing every single weapon they have, even the ones which are under production.
• 17:43
  I think what's surprised a lot of people, Michael, is that he's been doing foreign policy in the way that he has Trump.
• 17:49
  That has shocked a lot of people.
• 17:51
  Now, there are those who are arguing that America first means you have to fight these things, but it's a real we our network, for instance, is very divided on this story on this issue.
• 18:00
  We're probably, I I wouldn't be surprised if we're like 50-50.
• 18:03
  There's a good part of our media uh military and intelligence people on this network who are not at all happy with this war.
• 18:11
  Are you seeing that as well, that division?
• 18:13
  Oh, I definitely do see this division, but I'll tell you why uh a lot of them are telling me they're not happy.
• 18:18
  Because initially, when this started, uh the Iranian people were rising up and wanted freedom.
• 18:24
  And you saw the president come out and say, You want freedom, help is on the way.
• 18:29
  Now that help is on the way, I'm not saying that they're not rallying, but they're very slow in doing so.
• 18:35
  Talking about the Iranian people.
• 18:36
  And people want to know look, I mean, I thought you wanted freedom.
• 18:39
  How come you're not finishing off what's left of the administration and insolent administration that represents the people that represents freedom?
• 18:47
  I think that's a valid question.
• 18:48
  There are people who say, uh, Wally, that um Trump should claim victory and should leave uh yesterday, should get out of there immediately.
• 18:58
  Now and they're very sincere about it.
• 19:01
  And these are some military and intelligence, very smart people that believe that's it enough.
• 19:06
  Get out of there.
• 19:06
  There are others who would argue that point and say, until you finish the job, uh, this cancer is going to uh metastasize again.
• 19:14
  It is a real problem, and you've you've got to put it out of its misery here.
• 19:18
  Uh, where do you fall on it?
• 19:19
  Where I fall on this is that we should continue to hammer Iran until they have no more military assets.
• 19:24
  And when that is the case, we should continue to fly over Iran and destroy military assets faster than they can build them.
• 19:30
  We should not allow this regime to survive.
• 19:32
  We should continue to pound.
• 19:33
  And it doesn't have to be us.
• 19:34
  Israel can continue to do that without us at some point.
• 19:36
  Once they're all wiped out, this becomes a very, very cheap war.
• 19:39
  What I want is that regime to fall.
• 19:41
  What I have to believe.
• 19:42
  Trump says he's negotiating, and that Iran says there are no negotiations.
• 19:46
  Trump is negotiating with groups in Iran, probably somebody very, very high up in the regime.
• 19:50
  He's got to have at least one IRC uh GC commander.
• 19:53
  He probably has a number of generals in the R in the Iraqi or the Iranian army.
• 19:57
  We're negotiating with people that are not.
• 20:00
  They're a part of the regime, but they're a rogue part of the regime that are ready to overthrow it.
• 20:04
  We have to destroy the Iranian military and the IRGC and their their command and control structure enough that when we flip the switch and say, guys, go ahead and do the do the coup.
• 20:15
  We only get one shot at that.
• 20:16
  The coup has to be successful.
• 20:17
  So I think that's what the game is that we've got a coup in play.
• 20:20
  We're telling people cool your jets, don't go yet.
• 20:23
  And when we when we've destroyed Iran's military capacity and security capacity enough, we'll tell them go ahead and do it.
• 20:29
  And at that point they will.
• 20:31
  Do you think that that could be done as IQ was just suggesting in a two-week period of time?
• 20:35
  Yes or no?
• 20:36
  What do you think?
• 20:36
  Uh I think two weeks might be a little short, but who I honestly don't know.
• 20:40
  The thing is you only get one shot at it, so you have to be pretty sure it's going to be successful before you before you you tell them to go ahead.
• 20:46
  Yeah, yeah.
• 20:47
  You know, I was thinking what you're saying there too.
• 20:50
  Even if the US, Michael, if the U.S.
• 20:52
  did leave uh uh sooner, as some really want them out of there, uh want American troops out of there.
• 20:58
  Uh it I think to Wally's point there a moment ago, and I kind of sense this from people and other experts I've been talking to.
• 21:04
  They believe that Israel sees this massive opportunity right now, and they've invested a lot into this.
• 21:11
  They put it all out there.
• 21:12
  In fact, they're the reason this is even happening because of the battles they had before this after October 7th.
• 21:18
  I'll tell you that that uh with Hamas, what they did on October 7th, that changed everything.
• 21:24
  Because this really was all about October 7th at the beginning of you know at the start of the day here.
• 21:28
  Uh so I I think Israel, don't you think they may just they're probably not going to walk away till they finish the job in this radical regime.
• 21:37
  Is that fair?
• 21:38
  I think it's a very fair position, Michael.
• 21:41
  I've dealt with uh Mossad quite often.
• 21:43
  And I can tell you this uh they're determined to carry this through, they're determined not to let the Iranian regime survive.
• 21:50
  And I think we share a commonality there.
• 21:53
  I think the question needs to be we've got to get a little bit more reaction out of the Iranian people.
• 22:00
  They need to be coming forth a little bit stronger, and we need to target what's left of this rogue regime and eliminate it, talk about even the uh revolutionary guard and then allow them to uh turn it over to the uh Iranian people for free elections and for them to plot their future.
• 22:16
  IQ, I want to get back over to you on this here.
• 22:18
  Uh I want to stay in the Middle East for just a quick moment here.
• 22:21
  Let me ask you this.
• 22:23
  Uh, as we're listening to the group here and some pretty smart analysis here.
• 22:27
  Let me ask you this question.
• 22:29
  Over these next couple of weeks, uh I want you to put the other hat on a moment, IQ.
• 22:35
  Tell us what could go wrong.
• 22:37
  What could go wrong for America and Israel right now?
• 22:41
  Just give me the one two bullet points of what we what might happen that we need to be weary of that could be a real problem.
• 22:49
  What what what what worries you?
• 22:50
  What is it?
• 22:51
  The real problem is not the military might of the Israelis and the Americans.
• 22:56
  The real problem, what shocks me is when you're telling me the Americans have short memory.
• 23:03
  Well, I want to understand 10 million Israelis under constant threat of death and destruction are resilient.
• 23:11
  338 million Americans, 5,000 miles away from the battlefront, have no resilience.
• 23:18
  This is the shocking part.
• 23:20
  Otherwise, believe me, what they are doing on the military side, 100% correct.
• 23:26
  Okay, so does anything go wrong to answer my question?
• 23:29
  Or nothing can go wrong.
• 23:31
  You don't think so.
• 23:32
  You're 100% there.
• 23:33
  So there nothing's keeping you up or worried you that something else could uh uh with with it right within the Houthis within Hezbollah, uh you get Hamas is pretty well uh out of it now.
• 23:43
  I mean they've been we can eliminate all of them within 48 hours for God's sake.
• 23:50
  Eliminate, literally eliminate, but you need the will to eliminate.
• 23:55
  Don't tell me about civilians and not civilians.
• 23:58
  This is our war.
• 23:59
  This is a war of destruction.
• 24:01
  Bombard them into oblivion.
• 24:03
  Yeah, yeah.
• 24:03
  Everything will settle.
• 24:05
  A lot of this plays IQ to the story you've been talking about for years, is flight fighting back against this radical uh theology, uh, this um uh what you really call a disease that is spreading globally around the world, and this is kind of the uh epicenter of it out there in in uh the Middle East.
• 24:23
  Is that fair?
• 24:25
  When this regime collapses, when the Houthis are destroyed, when Hasmullah is destroyed, the whole of the Middle East will change, even the Muslim countries in the Middle East will change.
• 24:35
  I'm telling you now.
• 24:36
  Incredible.
• 24:37
  Even the ones who are Muslim and they you know, they use Sharia, they will change to be like the the Arab Emirates.
• 24:45
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 24:45
  They will all change.
• 24:47
  Like the Arab Emirates.
• 24:48
  There will be peace in the Middle East, there will be peace in Asia.
• 24:51
  Yeah, yeah.
• 24:52
  I'll tell you, this I get goosebumps right now as you're talking and saying what you're saying.
• 24:57
  And Michael, I'll tell you why I say that real fast here, real quickly.
• 25:00
  I mean, when you think about, you know, Ronald Reagan and you hear those words, Mr.
• 25:05
  Gulbert's up teared down the town, he changed it was history.
• 25:08
  He changed glow changed the globe, changed the mindset.
• 25:11
  Um that is kind of what IQ is suggesting is what's at stake right now, uh, isn't it in the Middle East?
• 25:19
  It definitely is what they say, where I do think some things could go wrong is if we can't get the Iranian people engaged and them demanding to fill the void to create a new administration, that becomes problematic because from that stage that goes into guerrilla warfare, and they can spread that over there and keep that going for some time to come, especially since they have the backing of the Chinese and uh the Russians.
• 25:42
  Right.
• 25:43
  Yeah, yeah.
• 25:44
  This is uh this is a moment.
• 25:45
  This is a moment.
• 25:46
  If if this does get pulled off in the way you gentlemen are alluding or suggesting could be, uh this would put uh Trump and uh the history books uh to the demise of the left like nobody's business.
• 25:58
  I mean, he would become a um a president like nobody, and he's gonna do that anyways, uh you know, whether they like it or not.
• 26:05
  Okay, Wallace Garnot, let's talk about this uh tech social media deal here.
• 26:09
  There were two cases in the last few days here.
• 26:12
  Uh one of them was huge, 375 million uh against Meta.
• 26:16
  Couldn't happen to a better company, I would say.
• 26:19
  Uh so uh what what's uh break this down, these two things here.
• 26:23
  How big of a deal is this and uh to crush big tech uh or uh you know change the momentum of things.
• 26:29
  What do you think, Kira on these two things?
• 26:30
  Well, they're they're not being sued because they're social media, they're being sued because according to the lawsuits, they are now that they are with knowledge, they're aware they're doing this.
• 26:39
  They are getting people addicted to social media than keeping them on their platforms as long as they can.
• 26:44
  Now, as a writer, I know I put something up on Facebook once upon a time.
• 26:47
  If I posted something to Facebook, I'd have at least a thousand page views within a day.
• 26:51
  Now I'm lucky if I get 50, and that's because they downgrade the spread of anything on social media that goes off their site that goes, you know, meta wants you to stay in Meta.
• 27:00
  So if you want to go from Facebook to Instagram, they're happy with that.
• 27:03
  If you want to go from Facebook to America Out Loud or Substack or White Rose Magazine or anything like that, they just don't show people the link.
• 27:11
  They don't show that post to people.
• 27:12
  And so that's gonna have to change.
• 27:14
  They're gonna have to start showing links again because keeping them on the site, that's one of the things that that screams, yes, we're trying to addict you to Facebook.
• 27:22
  We're trying to addict you to Meta, we're trying to addict you to Twitter.
• 27:25
  So that behavior is gonna have to change, and they're gonna have to make other substantive changes also.
• 27:30
  It's gonna have to change, but but but well, you're uh okay, but what if they what if they don't want to change it?
• 27:36
  And they don't think it's sued into oblivion.
• 27:38
  Yeah, it's not just us either.
• 27:40
  They're getting ripped apart in Europe as well.
• 27:42
  Yeah, yeah.
• 27:42
  Oh, yeah.
• 27:43
  Oh, yeah.
• 27:43
  Oh, yeah.
• 27:44
  I've seen it.
• 27:44
  I've seen it.
• 27:45
  Um so this this one here, let me just real quick.
• 27:48
  There's one on the three million now, this landmark case here.
• 27:51
  Uh, this was about prolonging the use of Instagram and YouTube.
• 27:54
  Uh, let it they say it was led to severe mental health consequences about the kids and all that, Wally.
• 28:00
  And they're saying they shouldn't be doing this and that.
• 28:02
  And I find this one kind of stupid, actually.
• 28:05
  And I actually don't think this one, uh, in my thoughts, uh, I don't know what you think, but I wondered why this one, why they even won this one, because uh frankly, that's what a social media company is supposed to do to put all the candy out there for everybody.
• 28:20
  I mean, what gives here?
• 28:22
  What am I missing on this case?
• 28:24
  The critical piece is the charge that they're addicting people and then keep giving people dopamine in order to keep them addicted to.
• 28:29
  So what?
• 28:30
  I mean, that's what happens.
• 28:31
  That's what you isn't that a successful company.
• 28:33
  So what?
• 28:34
  Well, when you when you start going so far down that path, yeah, that you are actively blocking links, for example.
• 28:41
  I mean, if if they are doing things that that one is destructive to their network because how valuable is Facebook if you can't share content that is off the Facebook network.
• 28:50
  So it I don't think the uh the I'm watching YouTube videos and it's make me brain dead.
• 28:56
  I don't think that's the viable argument.
• 28:58
  I think the viable argument is when I'm on these networks, they won't let me leave.
• 29:02
  And they're actively trying to make me addicted and then trying to feed dopamine to keep me on there.
• 29:08
  I think that is that's the part where I think they're really gonna get in trouble.
• 29:11
  And uh, and and I think it's true because you know, they do that and they openly do that.
• 29:15
  Well, you you make some good points there.
• 29:17
  Michael, uh, I want to get your fast opinion on this here.
• 29:20
  You know, I think that a lot of people would agree with me when I would suggest to you Meta, Facebook, uh, and and many others behind them are really communist networks.
• 29:29
  Uh, YouTube, Google, they all fit into that category.
• 29:32
  And I mean that wholeheartedly.
• 29:34
  I'm not being a smart guy here.
• 29:35
  Uh, and I think the way they uh what Wally was just sharing about the links and all, he's uh 100% correct.
• 29:41
  But this goes on all the time.
• 29:43
  They hold people like us back uh on America Out Loud, they hold uh things that like he puts out, we put out, they do it all the time.
• 29:49
  I gave up on them a long time ago.
• 29:50
  They threw me off their network like nine years ago.
• 29:53
  Uh um, I I was just totally done with them and YouTube as well, they started censoring throwing all the videos off just because.
• 30:00
  They didn't like the headlines.
• 30:02
  If you talked about anything they didn't want to talk about, they threw it off here.
• 30:06
  And so, but but this case here where you're you're indoctrinating the kids or this or that.
• 30:12
  I just find that a bit moronic and really against uh I think it's against our constitution.
• 30:16
  I don't see how they can uh uh I mean I think if you're a social media company, you want to show as much candy as you can to everybody.
• 30:23
  Uh granted, not sex trafficking and pedophilia and all that crap.
• 30:27
  That's not what I'm talking about.
• 30:28
  But you know what I mean, though.
• 30:29
  Well, there's no question.
• 30:30
  And uh you're exactly right.
• 30:32
  Here's the issue is what we talked about initially when we started this show, Malcolm.
• 30:36
  They're so desirous of power.
• 30:38
  This is another tool for them to maintain power to gain power and to keep control.
• 30:43
  And as such, they recognize that and they'll do whatever it takes to try to get their way and to implement their policies to give them the ability to control you and I for a long time to come.
• 30:54
  Yeah, you're exactly right.
• 30:55
  You're exactly right, yeah.
• 30:57
  And you know, uh you got to fight fire with fire uh friends out there, and so you know, you've got to go with more independent uh media, and that's what we've been talking about.
• 31:06
  And that's why we've been at this 10 years, by the way, on this network here.
• 31:10
  Uh, 10 years, we're celebrating our 10-year birthday this year here in 2026.
• 31:16
  Uh, it's hard to believe.
• 31:17
  I pinched myself when I say that.
• 31:19
  It doesn't even seem possible here.
• 31:20
  Uh, listen, tremendous thank you here to IQ Al Razuli, uh Wallace Garnot, Michael Letz.
• 31:26
  Michael, what's your website, quick, please?

• 31:44
  Yeah, the links to all of these things will be in the show notes when this goes to podcast.
• 31:48
  Now, remember, we play live 10 a.m.
• 31:50
  on iHeart Radio and 6 p.m.
• 31:52

• 31:56
  Uh on, and you can catch it right on hundreds of podcast networks and at the top of America Outloud.
• 32:02
  News, to be sure there.
• 32:03
  All right.
• 32:04
  Uh what a great conversation.
• 32:06
  Yeah, don't forget to check out Wallace Garneau's show, Cutting Through the Chaos, please, 9 a.m.
• 32:10
  Sad Day, Sunday.
• 32:12
  He's one of the smartest guys uh in the room when you're talking about these guys.
• 32:16
  I'm not just saying that.
• 32:17
  It's just it's just the damn truth.
• 32:18
  Uh and uh, but I don't want to say too much more because it'll blow his ego up a little more, you know.
• 32:23
  So I don't I can't do that exactly.
• 32:24
  And don't let me not also give some kudos to IQ Al Razuli, another smart guy.
• 32:28
  Uh so you know, that's all we have here is smart people here on the on these shows, by the way.
• 32:32
  Here, someone said to me the other day, what are your what is the uh your uh listen like what what what kind of um uh graphics are your listeners and the people.
• 32:40
  I said, Well, first of all, dumb people don't listen to talk radio, so they're very smart people, they're educated, they know what's going on, they want to know more, and they started laughing.
• 32:48
  I said, Well, it's the truth.
• 32:49
  Who would turn on talk radio and listen to things and educate themselves if they weren't bright or wanted to learn more in the world?
• 32:54
  So, anyways, the percent that IQ was talking about earlier, they're surely not listening to this show here for sure.
• 33:00
  Hard to reach those people, uh, I guess, unless you get brain dead on TikTok or something, or Facebook or one of those crappy programs, uh, YouTube.
• 33:08
  It's all garbage, if you ask me here.

  Okay.
• 37:07
  All right, listen.
• 37:08
  Uh we talked a little bit up front with uh the group about uh the the Middle East War, but uh, you know, a lot of people a lot of things work and fit into this big narrative right now, as we were just discussing.
• 37:21
  Part of it is uh the midterms hang in the balance right now, what's gonna happen there.
• 37:25
  Uh but let's talk a little bit geopolitics right now and terror and what that looks like around the world, both both globally, but also in this hemisphere a little bit.
• 37:34
  You see a lot of things happening with Venezuela, Cuba and a lot of conversation here as well.
• 37:38
  Uh just excited to have on this gentleman always here.
• 37:41
  Uh Dr.
• 37:42
  James Mitchell is here, and just a privilege to uh to be in his company here and have him on the broadcast.
• 37:48
  He holds a PhD in clinical psychology, served 22 years in the U.S.
• 37:52
  Air Force and retired as a lieutenant colonel.
• 37:55
  Uh and uh, you know, Dr.
• 37:57
  Mitchell is uh piece of history.
• 38:00
  He's in the history books for sure.
• 38:01
  He was involved in the development of the CIA's enhanced interrogation program and interrogated 14 of the most senior high value detainees in U.S.
• 38:09
  custody, and that is a fact.
• 38:10
  9-11, the Al Qaeda.
• 38:12
  That really was the center part of the Terra.
• 38:15
  And that brings me to a point, uh, Dr.
• 38:17
  Mitchell, is that you know, you have a different vantage point than most people and even most experts who talk about this.
• 38:24
  And this is really kind of where I want to start because you've been in the room with this mindset.
• 38:29
  You you've been in the room with that mindset.
• 38:34
  Uh, and a lot of people don't understand what that means.
• 38:36
  These are not typical wars we're fighting here in this particular case in the Middle East, right here.
• 38:42
  And so uh so let's let's do this.
• 38:46
  We see the kinetic action, what's happening right now, uh for sure.
• 38:50
  But in order, you know, there's a lot of people are split on this right now, as you know, uh Jim.
• 38:55
  They're split between staying there, they think the president should claim victory and get out right now.
• 38:59
  Many magnet people, America first are saying others say finish the job and be done with it.
• 39:03
  Don't leave the cancer there to masastesize again here.
• 39:07
  So what do you think winning this war looks like, right?
• 39:10
  What does it look like right now?
• 39:12
  How would that be?
• 39:14
  Uh first I have to tell you what my bias is.
• 39:17
  My bias is that we can't let them continue to exist the way they do, because in their mind, if they survive this encounter, Allah has provided them with a way to continue to do what they do, and they will try to reconstitute.
• 39:36
  And I can think of nothing more dangerous.
• 39:39
  Even Hitler wasn't as dangerous as the Ayatollah with a nuclear weapon, the uh especially coming out of Iran, uh, because that he's they're at war with the Sunni, they're at war with the Christians, they're at war with the Jews.
• 39:55
  Uh, and they're part of a doomsday cult that literally believes.
• 40:00
  That they're here to prepare the way for the end of days.
• 40:03
  So, in my view, I think winning the war is if you can't eradicate it, you have to cripple it to the point that it doesn't come up again in our lifetime.
• 40:15
  Because we were gonna have this fight.
• 40:17
  We were gonna fight these people, or our children were gonna fight these people, or our grandchildren were going to fight these people, because that's their intent.
• 40:25
  It does not matter that we want peace.
• 40:28
  It does not matter that we think everyone should get along.
• 40:31
  Their mindset is their God put them on this planet to conquer the world, to take advantage of other countries' resources and to prepare the way for the end of days.
• 40:43
  It is not the same as the Sunni terrorists because of that one click in their in their thinking, uh the apocalyptic part of it and the belief that they're here to actually uh uh prepare the earth for that.
• 40:58
  So I think it's quite dangerous.
• 41:00
  And I think winning, if it were if I were the king for the day, is I want to I would either want to, it's a mind virus, and when you get rid of a virus, what you have to do is get rid of the vectors.
• 41:14
  You have to get rid of the sources that spread that ideology.
• 41:20
  And to a large extent, it means we focusing, you know, we have a tendency to focus on political leaders when we think about war.
• 41:29
  But this particular war is spurred on not so much by politics, but by a religion that encompasses politics and sees doomsday as the end goal.
• 41:41
  So from in my mind, the winning of this thing is to either cripple it to the point that we can get several generations before this thing reoccurs or to wipe them out entirely.
• 41:53
  Okay, so then uh do the Chuck Schumas of the world, and there are a fair amount of them here.
• 41:59
  Do they understand the real fight that you're taking right now?
• 42:03
  And and I'm just wondering, Jim, are they willing to sacrifice that strictly for political points, or do they think that this is really not the problem that it is?
• 42:13
  What should which do you think it is?
• 42:15
  I think it's all of the above.
• 42:17
  You know, I think I think that um one of the things that I don't like about progressives is that they have a tendency to believe that the whole world thinks the way they do, that uh the whole world operates uh under the same set of mental rules about how you interact with people as they do.
• 42:36
  But what I know from having spent literally thousands of hours with with high-level uh Islamic terrorists, is that they know the way the American mindset works.
• 42:48
  They know they don't have to win the battle.
• 42:51
  They don't have to win the war.
• 42:53
  All they have to do is fight long enough for Americans to become disenchanted and lose the will to fight, and they also know that there'll be useful idiots inside of America who are undermining that will to actually do that for them.
• 43:12
  Yeah, you know, we have, as you know, we have there's a serious problem here in the in our country right now.
• 43:19
  I mean, you talk about Dearborn, you talk about New York City, you talk about Los Angeles, but you're also talking there was uh in Georgia, there was a uh community park.
• 43:28
  Uh we just had a story on it like a week a week ago or something like that.
• 43:32
  One of our writers had done an exclusive story on a uh a um monument they put in a community park with uh saluting Allah and the radical with the whole crescent there and a big big thing.
• 43:45
  And uh, and that was so they're everywhere, and there was a big story about their populating throughout Georgia and what have you.
• 43:52
  Um so a lot of people have been worried about sleeper cells, terror, you and I've talked about it previously here.
• 43:58
  Why do you think there hasn't been any of that up to this point right now, uh at least at this moment, and are they just not organized in the way that many thought they would be, or do are they not here, do you think, Jim?
• 44:13
  Oh, I'm sure they're here.
• 44:14
  Exactly.
• 44:15
  Um and they're probably organized in the way they would be, but they also know that Americans at this point is tired of that crap.
• 44:23
  You know, that if you if you uh uh stood up a terror cell here in the United States, and we found out about it, um, we would just eliminate you.
• 44:36
  See, I think I think that they are uh laying low uh because it serves their interests to lay low.
• 44:44
  You know, we we do get a surprising number of uh uh Islamic uh salafist uh terror attacks in the United States, but they tend to be one off.
• 44:55
  And most people don't realize what they are because the mainstream media hides uh the actual source of this stuff.
• 45:04
  They describe them, you you know, any time that they leave out the race of the person or the religion of the person, it you can tell it's it's probably not a white guy because they're gonna tell you if it's a white Christian guy, but otherwise they're just silent on that because they don't actually want to provide have people turn against the uh immigrants that they let in through this ridiculous border opening that Biden had going for years.
• 45:30
  So I'm convinced they're here, but I think they're laying low because they know that if they make too much of a fuss, they'll just be eliminated.
• 45:38
  They're gonna they're waiting for the next Democrat president.
• 45:43
  Okay, the next person like Biden, and then they'll pick it up.
• 45:46
  And what they'll end up doing, of course, is they'll end up being really provocative, and then they're gonna they're gonna go and kind of create fear among the American population, and you they're gonna hope that the Americans will just sort of silently accept more and more sharia by default uh by curtailing some of our basic uh freedoms, particularly the freedom of speech, because they don't want you saying anything negative about Islam, and then they're gonna ratchet it up.
• 46:13
  And uh, you know, I think I think the thing that I remember the most is I talked to a military commander uh who was in charge of Al-Qaeda, uh, and he told me, he said, you know, Americans value every American life, and that's a weakness that Allah put in Americans so we could defeat them.
• 46:34
  He said, We don't have to kill all you guys, we just got to kill one of you, you know.
• 46:38
  And I'm not saying that I'm not saying I endorse that.
• 46:41
  I'm not saying that we should turn our back on that.
• 46:43
  That's one of the American values that make us unique.
• 46:47
  You know, the the value of an individual person makes us unique.
• 46:51
  But they know that, and they know if they kill 10 or 15 people in some sort of a strike, that the uh certain uh group of the populace is gonna say that there's no point in continuing, you know, we've done enough, let's back off.
• 47:05
  And that's their goal.
• 47:07
  They factor that into the way they think.
• 47:09
  So we're fighting this ideology with bullets in a kinetic way, because that's what we got at this point.
• 47:15
  But at some point to really win the war, we we've got to, I don't know.
• 47:19
  Do we got to get into their mindset a little bit more?
• 47:22
  Do we how it's tricky, isn't it?
• 47:24
  I don't think we need to get into their mindset.
• 47:26
  I think we need to get into our mindset.
• 47:28
  Okay.
• 47:29
  I, you know, they view our religious freedoms and uh bill of rights as a weakness that Allah put in Americans so that they could be defeated.
• 47:38
  I think what we need to do to uh boister the resolve of young people is we need to teach American values again.
• 47:48
  We need to teach civics, we need to shut down places that spread that violent ideology.
• 47:53
  We need to, we need to, if a person has been uh nationalized as a citizen and they're and they're screaming about destroying America.
• 48:02
  I think we need to pull that citizenship away and deport them.
• 48:05
  We need to find every one of these folks and put them out of the country before they spread their ideology among our young people.
• 48:13
  And the the thing that makes it more tricky, because we're not gonna change them, right?
• 48:19
  We can't control what goes on in their heads because they're they're um they're taught by uh uh a madrasa.
• 48:27
  But but what we can do is we can talk kind of attack this pretense, right?
• 48:32
  There's a pretense among the progressive and the woke and the more um less classically liberal but more modern liberal mindset, and and that pretense is it's the same progressive mindset that leads people to believe that men can become women that leads some people to believe that Islam is the religion of peace.
• 48:51
  When if you look at how Islam was spread, it was spread through slaughter and enslavement and violence.
• 48:59
  In those countries now, they still allow sex slaves, they still allow slavery, they still allow uh treating uh people as second-class citizens.
• 49:08
  Their uh uh ideology, Sharia law is completely incompatible with the with the uh constitution of the American uh the United States, it violates almost every one of our uh amendments.
• 49:24
  Yeah, 100%, 100%.
• 49:26
  And uh they don't uh compute at all, the two of them.
• 49:30
  You're you're exactly right.
• 49:31
  Um we see Trump, you know, we we talk about this shift, what's happened in the Middle East right now and winning this war.
• 49:38
  By the way, uh Jim, how long do you think uh if you were to take an educated guess right now, before Trump can, I mean, we got the midterm elections coming quick.
• 49:48
  And so it's for him to wrap some part of this up.
• 49:51
  Now, Israel could keep at it, but for him to you know satisfy the need to get uh American uh troops out of there in this and
• 50:00
  Some of the uh uh hardware we have there.
• 50:02
  Uh what are you talking here?
• 50:04
  Uh, how long does this go?
• 50:05
  Do you think your estimates are you're talking a couple of weeks, you're talking a couple of months.
• 50:09
  Uh, how kind of an impact would it have on the midterm elections?
• 50:12
  Well, I'm not know about the impact it would have on the midterm elections.
• 50:16
  It depends on how conservatives frame it, right?
• 50:19
  Uh uh because people are influenced by how information is structured and presented to them, and the Democrats are doing everything that they can do to make it seem like this is like you know, his war and he's a puppet for Israel.
• 50:32
  But my concern is that the midterm elections are actually going to prevent them from doing what they should do.
• 50:39
  Those those mulas cannot ever get a nuclear weapon.
• 50:44
  And they have to do whatever it is that's necessary to stop them from doing that.
• 50:50
  All you have to do is my thought when I saw this happening, particularly when I saw the news is okay.
• 50:57
  So uh they get bombed, and then they start shooting missiles just willy-nilly at all of their neighbors who share the same Islamic beliefs that they share in terms of the uh of the Quran, although they do there's a big difference between Sunnah and Shia.
• 51:13
  Um and and to do that to try to pressure the world into getting America to back off so they can reconstitute.
• 51:22
  I think he has to do whatever is required to stop them from reconstituting.
• 51:26
  And if it's two weeks, that's great.
• 51:27
  If it's three weeks, that's great.
• 51:29
  If it's two months, that's great.
• 51:30
  I'm I'm behind him all the way because we were going to fight them at some point in our lifetime or our children's lifetime.
• 51:41
  And my preference would be we do it on our timeline and not theirs after they've got a nuclear weapon, so that they can hold a place like London or or Crete or the Rock of Gibraltar hostage.
• 51:54
  Uh and so we it just needs to do what needs to be done.
• 51:58
  And that's a whole nother conversation going around the world.
• 52:01
  Look at the UK, look at London, uh, look at all of that.
• 52:03
  That's another story for another day.
• 52:05
  We'll talk about that sometime.
• 52:06
  But uh I want to ask you about uh real quickly, I want to ask you about uh Venezuela, what's happening here?
• 52:11
  You know, I seen a story I want to share with you, Jim.
• 52:13
  That um uh just uh think about a day or so ago from Wall Street Journal.
• 52:17
  Listen to this crime has plunged in Venezuela, once home to the world's murder capital, and this was incredible.
• 52:25
  The the city was once so dangerous that drivers ran red lights.
• 52:28
  And I remember this happened.
• 52:29
  I I do remember this whole thing.
• 52:30
  They ran red lights to avoid the car jackens.
• 52:33
  This this is a true story.
• 52:34
  And uh, this was just a few years ago here.
• 52:37
  And uh, and it says here about three Venezuelans were killed an hour every day on average, bars and parks emptied as nighttime street kidnapping sword, gangs took over.
• 52:46
  Now all that's gone.
• 52:48
  And listen to this.
• 52:49
  And this just tells you Trump was right about all this.
• 52:51
  There are people that want to argue this stuff.
• 52:53
  In 2016, Venezuela had uh almost 29,000 homicides, a rate of 92 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.
• 53:02
  Uh the it was the big really huge for Latin America here.
• 53:06
  And now, and uh by 2023, and all as uh as uh Biden was emptying all the um the Venezuela was empty, uh Maduro emptying all the prisons and trying to get all the gangs out of there and everything else.
• 53:18
  Uh that rate had fallen.
• 53:20
  Listen to this by 70 percent.
• 53:23
  70 percent.
• 53:25
  Um, that's incredible.
• 53:27
  Uh fewer than 7,000 versus the number I just shared with you or 29.
• 53:32
  Um, so this is kind of interesting.
• 53:34
  And this plays to Trump again with what he sees, what they're calling now the Dunro Doctrine by looking here at places like Cuba, Venezuela, trying to clean up the hemisphere here.
• 53:44
  Um Trump is a pretty pretty uh pretty interesting guy that he's taken on all of this.
• 53:50
  Nobody expected though this, uh Jim, when it comes to these um foreign policy things.
• 53:54
  I think they were caught by surprise.
• 53:56
  They thought he was going to just focus economically and domestically here.
• 53:59
  Was you surprised by some of this by chance?
• 54:02
  Well, he's been talking about it since the 80s.
• 54:05
  Yeah.
• 54:06
  I mean, I I'm shocked that people were surprised that uh, for example, he thought that Iran should be taken down, or or he thought that we should control more what happens in our hemisphere.
• 54:17
  They haven't been listening to him.
• 54:19
  You know, they did the same thing to him that they uh they're doing to the Moolas in uh Iran.
• 54:25
  They say, we want to kill you, we hate America, we want to destroy you.
• 54:28
  And we go, oh yeah, sure.
• 54:31
  Okay, here's his several million dollars, here's a couple of billion dollars.
• 54:34
  Yeah, okay.
• 54:35
  Well, they did the same thing with him.
• 54:37
  You know, Trump said these are the things that are that are priorities for us, make America great, make the hemisphere great, protect America.
• 54:45
  Uh it all falls from that.
• 54:48
  And I don't think he thought that up in the middle of the night.
• 54:51
  You know, he's not he's he wasn't re-listening to some podcast and came up with that idea.
• 54:56
  You know, he happens to be surrounded by people um, you know, who are very, very capable uh and uh and are able to carry out uh his instructions.
• 55:07
  Yeah, yeah.
• 55:08
  So I yeah, I I think it would be a good thing if Cuba became more like Cuba was in the 1950s, right?
• 55:15
  You know, could it happen?
• 55:17
  Could it happen?
• 55:18
  Could I think it could?
• 55:19
  It depends on the Cubans, you know.
• 55:21
  It's another one of those things.
• 55:22
  You know, I have a sort of stored philosophy.
• 55:24
  We got to control what we can control.
• 55:27
  You know, we can't control what the Cubans decide to do.
• 55:30
  We can set up a set of circumstances where it's in their best interest, and they see that it's in their best interest that they that they follow these incentives.
• 55:38
  Yeah, yeah.
• 55:39
  Yeah, because that's one of the problems is that people get upset when you try to push this American uh so-called democracy around the world and nation building all of that doesn't work.
• 55:48
  Obviously, I don't think we should be nation building.
• 55:50
  No, no, wait.
• 55:51
  I I think what we should, I think in terms of uh well, take Iran.
• 55:55
  I don't think we ought to try to make it democratic.
• 55:57
  You know, they had a vote in Palestine, uh, you know, in uh uh and they voted Hamas in and then Hamas got rid of all the voting.
• 56:06
  I it the democracy doesn't work in a in a uh a world who has a stone age religion that they follow because we think of religion and government as being separate, but government is part of their religion, the largest part of their religion.
• 56:25
  So what we have to do is we have to find some way to make them like us or fear us or worry about what we're gonna do so that they stay in their corner of the world and don't export their violence to us.
• 56:40
  That's it.
• 56:40
  That's exactly it.
• 56:41
  That is exactly it.
• 56:43
  That's that's the epicenter of this whole thing.
• 56:45
  Uh and uh people who think that uh the violence is gonna stay over there, uh, I think are in for a rude awakening back to the Chuck Schumacher's of the world.
• 56:54
  And I think they probably know better, but uh they don't want to let go of their political power, is what it is.
• 57:00
  Well, what they want to do is they want to use anything, anything that well, lesson, I'll give you uh this is uh I just thought of this as probably a foolish thing to say.
• 57:10
  But if Trump was to invent a vaccine that would cure cancer and it required eggs to grow the vaccine, like some of like some vaccines do, they would say that he was somehow manipulating and and being mean to the egg farmers.
• 57:24
  They just don't care.
• 57:26
  It's all about reframing things so that they can share up their position of power because you don't go into the Senate uh the uh House of Representatives or the Senate as a person who has you know $600,000 and retire 10 years later with 25 or 30 million dollars.
• 57:46
  That's a cash flow that comes to those guys that they're trying to protect more than anything else, and power is incredibly seductive.
• 57:55
  It's incredibly seductive, and and the money and the power, that's what they're interested in.
• 58:00
  They're not interested in what happens to the guy down the street that runs a gas station.
• 58:04
  Yeah, yeah.
• 58:05
  Well, uh I'm glad people get to hear uh your explanation up front uh about uh who these people are uh and your description on it was uh was really eye-opening for people to grab on to that and understand the battle, what the real war is here.
• 58:21
  Dr.
• 58:21
  James Mitchell uh joining us here.
• 58:24
  Uh, friends, it's all back at AmericaRotloud.news.
• 58:27
  Uh, join us back there and share the out loud truth.
• 58:29
  Uh and uh we'll keep it going.
• 58:31
  We'll keep it going here.
• 58:33
  And uh friends, that's a wrap here.
• 58:35
  It's uh thanks for joining me on the mission.
• 58:37
  Uh it's time to get involved and get loud, America.
