Former Judge Ted Poe: How They Destroy America From Within · Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags

  Speaker 1: Communism. First of all, it's godless, it's an atheistic philosophy.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Mark said, so God is the problem, and it is
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the worship of government, and the government with the promise
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: we will take care of you and more free stuff
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: for one thing. But they control everything. You talk about
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: controlling rent. In the Soviet Union, they controlled housing, They
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: controlled where every Soviet citizen lived, what apartment they lived in,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and they paid rent to the government. Of course, you
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: lived in that apartment until you were dead.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Ted Poe saw the threat of socialism than communism firsthand
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: in the Soviet Union, and he says it's creeping into
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: America too. Plus, following the sudden passing of Centator Lindsay Graham,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: where does foreign policy go from here? Ted Poe weighs in,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: right now, you got to see this. I didn't know
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Lindsay Graham. I purposely, and I've said this on my show,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: never invited am on because I felt that he was
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: a big time warhawk and I didn't want to go
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: back and forth with the guy who generally speaking, was
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: on the same side. I mean, he was out there
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: giving his opinions on Russia and on Iran and everything
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: else on his own but didn't. I didn't invite him on.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I kind of feel like it, maybe I should have.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe I missed something there. I've got Ted Poe on.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Though Ted has been on. I think we just counted
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: at Oney three hundred and twenty six times and we
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: appreciate every single time.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Ted.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: First of all, good to see you new Lindsay Graham, right.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, I did. I worked with him when I was
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: in the House, he was in the Senate. I worked
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: with him on victims issues. He helped on the Senate
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: side get victims legislation passed, and I did on a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: House side to protect crime victims in the United States.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And he was great. He worked on that, He worked
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on everything, and everybody says he's easy to work with.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Well, everybody says he had a great sense of humor.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Did he lighten the room up when he came in.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yes he did. He did. He had charisma, He was funny,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: He didn't take life so seriously about himself, especially so
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: he was good. He was easy to work with, and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: he worked with He could work with anybody. So I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: liked him and he was good to work with.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I don't mean any insulted disrespect when I tell my
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: audience that I didn't invite him on. I didn't want
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: to argue with Lindsay Graham about why he wanted to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: go to war with Putin and why he was so
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: fixated on Russia it seemed, and why he wanted to
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: spend more money on Ukraine and why he wanted to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: go to war with Iran. I mean, there was something
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: about him when he came to military action where he
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: felt strongly about let's go get the bad guys off
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the planet, even if there wasn't anything going on right
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: now that indicated we should get them off the planet.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Do you see where I'm coming from as an interviewer.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to have that discussion because I knew
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: where he was in those issues and I didn't think
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I was going to be able to change him. Did
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you find him to be this sort of guy who
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: wanted to take out, wipe out anybody who was anti
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: freedom and liberty on the planet.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, he never saw a WARRI didn't like. Remember his
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: background thirty years Air Force Reserves, and he had that
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: background of if we need to eliminate people who don't
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: like America and want to take our freedoms away, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: he wanted to carry it, in my opinion, to finish
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: them all, not to make deals with him, but finish
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it off. So that's the way it was about Ukraine,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and was about the Iranian situation and other past US engagements.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: How do you sort of square that as somebody in
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the House of Representatives when you've got people in the House,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: people in the Senate. Listen, you and I both believe
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: in freedom and liberty. We think that communism should be
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: stand out. But we're not out here, you know, indicating
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: we want to start a war every other day. So
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: how do you square that? Knowing that, yes, we should
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: take action if there's a direct threat to us or
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: our very close friends in a region, with people who say,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: let's just go nuts and knock out anything and everything
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that even looks or smells like communism, how do you
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: deal with that? Balance that?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I balance it because we I think we have
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to balance it. We have to, of course put America first,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: but let's look realistically, if there's a threat to the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: United States, then let's deal with it, yes, and then
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and settle it, but not go out and just start conflicts.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I think we proved that, and because we never know
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: how to finish the war. It goes back to our
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: history after World War Two, we would get involved in
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: everybody else's war, and then we never knew how to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: finish it. So we just stopped Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and all of those other wars that the United States
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: has gotten in. We don't ever believe in, I would
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: say winning anything. We just wanted to end and so
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I think we have to keep that in mind. Lindsey Graham,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: none of that. Let's finish it all. Let's finish the war.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: You know, Korea is a perfect example. We're still technically
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the South Korea our career, is still at war with
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: each other, and we took South Korea's side, as we
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: are obligated to do. But they're just an armistice, really
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: just a cease fire between those two countries. So he
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: wanted to finish the job. In my opinion, wherever we
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: got in, Bob, let's finish it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And I mean I'm with him on that. I'm just
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: not with him on let's go seek out Putin, Let's
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: go kill him because we can. Having said that, I'm
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: so glad you talked about the Korean War because that's
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: exactly right. There is still a war going on, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: nobody in this generation and maybe the previous generation even
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: knows that the Korean War is not over. There is
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: a ceasefire right now that has lasted what fifty years,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: sixty years, something like that. So I mean, at some point,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: because we didn't win in Afghanistan, we just left. We
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: didn't win in Iraq, we just sort of left and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Shia took over Iraq. So what do we do when
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: it comes to the operation right now with Iran? You
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and I can probably agree that for forty seven years,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Iran has declared war on US and has declared war
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: on Israel. And President Trump said, how is the time,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Let's stop this threat. Let's let's give these people an
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: opportunity to get their country back. But tell I'll be
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: honest with you. I love Donald Trump. I've had him
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: on fifteen times. I think he's great. I think he's
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the right guy at the right time. But he's saying
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: different things almost every day. This trade is opened, the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: straight has closed. We've decimated them. They just attacked a ship.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: They have they have no surface to air missiles. They
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: just killed twelve people in the Strait of her moves.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: So what exactly is it that's going on. Is he
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: saying these things as a bargaining chip with the Iranian
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: leadership or I mean, are you with me that we're
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: getting mixed signals about exactly what's going on in that conflict.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think it's on purpose. That's just my opinion.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: He look at the background Trump is in. President Trump
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: represents the United States, and most of Americans are against
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: what's going on in Iran, right, the right, the far right,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the all the left, and all of the immigrants, everybody.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Most Americans don't like the war on and they want
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: it to stop, want us out. So he has that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that he has to deal with. But his philosophy is
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: they are a threat. They have been, as you said,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: for forty seven years. The difference with Iran and all
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of the other people that we have been involved with
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: is they are determined to kill us. They don't cease
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: fire doesn't mean anything to them. Their long range goal
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: is to kill us. Cease fire, what are they going
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to do. They're going to restock, They're going to rebuild.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They're going to continue their hate. Kill America, kill Israel,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: wipe them off the face of the Mount that is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: one issue that he is trying to deal with. I
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: think he wants them to stop leave us alone, and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it's going to force them to do it. I think
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: they're going to wait us out. That's what I think, no.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Matter what does Historically they've they've waited us out. I mean,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the radical Islam like that will wait centuries. They don't
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: care as long as the end game is what they
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: think their God tells them to do. So how do
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: you deal with that? I mean, it's my opinion because
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I think there's some directive in Islam that if you
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: aren't at least fifty percent as strong as your enemy,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: you don't even take them on. So they have to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: know that we're stronger than them. But we get this
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: MoU which was stupid. We get this so called ceasefire,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and the mouthpiece for Iran immediately says, we just defeated
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: two nuclear powers. I guess we're a superpower now as
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the negotiations are supposed to go on. So Iran doesn't
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: believe that they're inferior to us militarily. What does the
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: president have to do to make them understand they are?
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: They have to understand they have to leave us alone.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And the way to do that is the way that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I think Trump is trying to do economic sanctions, no
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: troops on the ground. He's committed to that, so he's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: got to do other things. And until they realize and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: think I don't think they realize it. They still have survived.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: That is their goal, to survive everything surviving is that's right,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And they have said that we have survived. We're still here.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: We haven't gone anywhere. Maybe he needs to eliminate everybody
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: at the top of the food chain.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Don't you need to make them surrender ted, make them
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: get on their hands and knees and beg us to stop.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: They're not going to do that. I don't think they're
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: going to do that. They may stop, but they're not
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: going to beg us.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Well, let me, let me, let me throw this at you,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: because you're smarter than I am. You've been telling me
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: for about twenty six years.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Some of them.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Hussein did beg. He did get on his hands and knees,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: and we still killed him. Kadafi did beg, please don't
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: do this to us anymore. You don't think the Iranian
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: regime will do the same thing if they know that
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: it's certain death.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: They have already done that. After twelve or thirteen days
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: of bombing, they said, oh, stop, leave us alone, don't
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: do it anymore. We're so sorry. Let's talk. Let's talk.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: That's what that's what they want to.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Do, right.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: But and so what do we do? We stop? And
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: maybe Lindsey Graham was right, don't stop, don't stop until
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: they come and do as you say. We give up.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: We won't do it anymore. We surrender. But I think
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: we every time we stop, they rebuild. It's pretty obvious
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: they go back and Okay, give us, give them us
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: more time to rebuild, do whatever. And maybe that's what
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't do. But I'm not the president. And you
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: got to remember what I just said earlier. Most Americans
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: are not in supportive of this war. And the Iranians
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: know that. The Ranians know, Oh, the Americans don't have
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the stomach. They're a weak country. They want their gasoline
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: prices back down fifty cents to a dollar, and they
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: will force the president to quit. That's what they believe.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Remembering their philosophy is we want you dead, we want
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the country dead. And they have not been held accountable
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: for the thousands of Americans and civilians that they had
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: killed in the last forty seven years. Nobody held them accountable.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: They know that, and so they're playing for time and
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the President has to make a pretty strong case to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: make them leave us alone. Don't ask them to, don't
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: take their word for anything, and whatever that means. To
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: make them leave us alone, then that's what we should do.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: It's Ted Poe, former US Representative, former judge Ted Poe.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: So I'm with you. They're never going to leave us
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: alone until they get what they want, which is the
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: end of Western civilization. So that's going to go on
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: for centuries more. How do you get rid of this theocracy?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: How do you give that country back to the people
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: to give them a chance of a future. And should
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: we get rid of them? Which is what I want
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: and I think it's what you want, and most most
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Americans would be down with Yeah, get rid of the
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: leadership there. And now that we're there, let's finish it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: What happens who takes over? Is there a vacuum? Do
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: more bad people come in? Like in Iran? In Iraq,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I should say in Afghanistan, more bad people came in.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: See, that's what we have done in the past we have.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Libya is a perfect example. We we eliminated UH Libya
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and made it a terrorist state, and we didn't take
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: take control of it. Probably the best example is MacArthur.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: You know, we bombed Japan into submission. They surrendered, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: what did we do. We set up a new government.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: MacArthur went in and set up a democracy. And now
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Japan is one of our strongest allies. But he did that.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: You know, the Marshall Plan to some extent was successful
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: in the Western Front, UH, but we have never done
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: something like that before. To answer your question, we have
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to get I think Victor Davis Hanson is right. We
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: have to recognize Iranian government in exile. Who that is
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know. There are there are numerous groups in Iran.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Of course they can't agree either. They don't want the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: present regime in power sixty to seventy percent. But those
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: they can't agree on who it is. And many people
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: say it's not the Shaw. We got rid of him
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: in forty seven. We don't want his son coming in
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and taking over. So they got their own internal problems.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: But we should help the Iranian people. I think we
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: should get them guns, just like we have done in
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the past. Let them fight the war, let them fight
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: it out and see, you know, that would be the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: best thing. But go back to go back to seventy nine.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: That's what we did in seventy nine, and we supported
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the wrong folks. The terrorists took over, you know, and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: now they've had a change of heart, et cetera, and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: they want rid of the Ayahtola. It's complicated, as I
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: really don't like to say, but it's up to the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Iranian people. Take control of your country. We are not
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: going to control your country. You have to take control
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: of it. Furnish them weapons, arms until they do the job.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: That has worked in the past in other conflict where
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the United States got involved in other countries.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Courage is in something that you discover when life is easy.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: In fact, is revealed when standing for your faith comes
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: with a cost. We all know what happened to my
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: friend Charlie Kirk. He'd been on my show six times.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: He was somebody they texted back and forth with, and
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: he was somebody that we all learned from, somebody who
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: really stood for what he believed in. That's what makes
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk, American martyr, such a powerful story that I
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: want you to make sure you watch him, have your
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: kids watch it too. It's not just about politics. It's
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: about a man whose faith shaped every decision he made,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: who loved his family, invested in the next generation. In fact,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: shows conviction over comfort. It asks the question every Christian
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: should consider, what am I willing to stand for? Really?
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: In a world that constantly pressures believers that stay quiet,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Charlie's story reminds us that following Christ has always required boldness, humility,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: and unwavering faith. His legacy isn't about faith, It's about faithfulness,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: and he stood for that every day of his life.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: For a story that will challenge and encourage you to
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: live at your own calling with courage, you need to
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: see this, go right now to angel dot com, slash pegs,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: angel dot com slash PAGs, become an Angel Guild member
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: watch Charlie Kirk, American Martyr, and help bring more stories
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: of faith, courage, and conviction to audiences worldwide. The man
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: actually spend time in the Soviet Union, Why what is
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: he observing? What he tells you about what was happening
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: there is exactly what we're starting to see unfold in
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: places like New York City and elsewhere where the DSA
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: is starting to take over and win elections. Now Part two,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: my special interview with former Representative former Judge Ted Poe.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: We have to give them the opportunity, though, that's the problem.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: When we're getting estimates of fifty thousand people killed in
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the streets for burning a picture of the Ayatola, for
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: daring to march and say we want freedom and liberty.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: It's very interesting to me that the idiots here on
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: this side of the pond who are in support of
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Gaza or what would be Palestine, are saying that Israel
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: is committing a geneside in what would be Palestine. Yet
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: everybody ignores the fact that Iran and the theocracy he
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: killed fifty thousand people. How do you make sense out
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: of that, tad I mean, these people are nuts. They
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: really believe there's a genocide in Gaza, and there's not.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: From what I understand, the population of Gaza is higher
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: than it was before October seventh, and they're killing fifty
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: sixty thousand people in the streets of Iran, and nobody
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: on this side of the pond even cares about that.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: It's not our business.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Well, the reason is because the Left, what they do
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: is lie. They just out and out lie. The Israelis
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: are fighting for their survival right. In fact, they had
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: been too successful because they shot down thousands and thousands
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: of missiles coming in from Iran and their proxies into
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Israel that is attempting to kill anybody in the way,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and they're very successful about shooting them all down. But
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: the goal of Iran is eliminate Israel. That is their goal,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: eliminate the United States. Far as Gaza checked the war out.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Why did that start? It's because people from Gaza invaded Israel,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: wiped out the northern part of Israel and took hostages,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: killed what two thousand people. And all Israel is doing
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: is said, you're gonna pay for that, you say, be
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: held accountable for that. So when they go into Gaza,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: they you know, the the Hamas hides in schools and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: churches and hospitals, and they have to go in and
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: find those people and try not to kill civilians. In
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: other wars that did not happen. You hide in hospitals,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you're eliminated. You can't hide the population. I'm not saying
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: right or wrong, but in past wars, both sides. You
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: cannot hide. We're going to eliminate you. You hide in
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: their civilian population, and we're gonna do whatever we have
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: to get rid of you. If they'll do that, they
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: trying to do it, go ahead.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Do you think the people here that are complaining saying
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: that we're targeting children's hospitals, we're targeting maternity centers, we're
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: targeting mosques. Do you think the people here know they're lying?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Do you think the people here know that the target,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: of course is Hamast that's hiding underneath that place, or
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: it's fill in the blankets bad guy that we're going after,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: and they're using human shields. Like you said, that never
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: was the way war was fought. You were never allowed
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: to hide behind somebody, an innocent person, or inside of
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: a religious place, or inside of a hospital or a school.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: But they're doing that. Do you think the people complaining
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: here know that they're actually targeting the bad guys or
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: they really think that the Israelian American governments are targeting
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: innocent people.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of everything. One, they are
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: ignorant about the way the world really is. Second, they
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: want to believe this nonsense that the left is saying
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: about what is going on, and they want to believe
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: that they did this, want to believe it, they do.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people who who believe that
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: because they want to believe it. And the ones that
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you hear the most a lot from are people who
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: if they were there, they would be the first ones
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: that Harmas eliminated. These women who want to talk about
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the children and all of that. You know, they won't
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: say that over there, they'll say it over here, but
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Hamas wouldn't let them live. Why because of the way
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: they look and the fact that there are women and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: they're not Muslims, et cetera, et cetera. And so they
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: believe it because they want to believe it, and they
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: like to believe it because that's what they think. They
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: want to have that, they want to have a they
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: want to have a crusade that there's genocide against the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: children in Hamas well. Who's causing that? Hamas is causing
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the genocide really because of what they're doing so and
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: they have a lot of money behind them, people who
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: are still back in the dark. We don't know who
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: all these people are that support the these rallies, but
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: you know it is Iranian people. As you pointed out,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: they've had It wasn't just the fifty thousand that was
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: killed in January. They've had thousands of killed over the years,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: killing their own people. That's what really those type of
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: totalitarian governments do. We'd like to call it communism too,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: but that's what they do.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: It is a Tedpoe former US Representative, former judge Ted
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Poe Mushing champion from Alaska nineteen seventy nine. Great job
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: with that, by the way, Ted, those appreciate you. Let's
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: take a look at what you just said, Mam. Donnie
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: is in New York and he said, let's freeze the rent.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Freezing the rent is a great thing, except now you
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: can't repair anything when it breaks. Now you can't afford
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: to keep the building. Of course, he would like to
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: see city government take over all those buildings. Now we're
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: gonna give you groceries thirty percent off. Well, how does
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: mom and pop shop grocery stores stay open when the
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: government using taxpayer dollars are lowered, forcing the lowering of
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: prices in stories that are being forced to be built
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: by tax dollars. So now he's going to take over
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: the food supply. He's going to take over where you live,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: going to take over the food supply. And here's the
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: guy that that has purposely left out Little Italy and
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Enclaven in New York, has left out the Jewish neighborhoods
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: in New York. The guy who's left out Chinatown in
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: New York, and he has got enclaves like Little Gaza
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: and Little Bahrain and all this stuff. I mean, here's
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: a guy that is telling you what he's going to do.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: He is trying to take control of everything. And we
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: saw this this playbook before in Venezuela. We saw this
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: playbook before in the former Soviet Union. You were in
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: the Soviet Union. Can you elucidate? Can you tell people
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: who are watching and listening right now, just to really
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: illustrate exactly what it was that we're heading toward in
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: places like New York and small areas in Michigan and
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: even areas here in Texas. Should wed should we, you know,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: give a blind eye to the fact that socialism slash
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: communism is starting to take hold.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, I was in the Soviet Union when it was
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: still the Soviet Union back in the in the eighties,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and I saw firsthand what communism is like and what
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: it's not like. Communism. First of all, it's godless, it's
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: an atheistic philosophy. Mark said, So God is the problem,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and it is the worship of government, and the government
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: with the promise we will take care of you and
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: more free stuff for one thing. But they control everything.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: You talk about controlling rent. In the Soviet Union, they
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: controlled housing. They controlled where every Soviet citizen lived, what
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: apartment they lived in, and they paid rent to the government.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Of course, you lived in that apartment until you were dead.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Of course you got free medical care. Everybody got free
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: medical care. You ought to see that medical care. You
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: stand in line for hours, you go in, you have
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: a you needed back surgeony, you walk out with a
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: cane two days later. But it's free and almost of
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: free stuff is appealing apparently to people throughout the world.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: And everybody is works for the government. Government tells him
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: where to live. You can't move without the government permission.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: They control all of the merchandise. They control every store,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: every product. They controlled, like I said, your job, where
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: you live, and they control what you do.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Courage is in something that you discover when life is easy.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: In fact, is revealed when standing for your faith comes
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: with a cost. We all know what happened to my
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: friend Charlie Kirk. He'd been on my show six times.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: He was somebody they texted back and forth with, and
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: he was somebody that we all learned from, somebody who
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: really stood for what he believed in. That's what makes
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk American Martyr, such a powerful story that I
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: want you to make sure you watch him, have your
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: kids watch it too. It's not just about politics. It's
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: about a man whose faith shaped every decision he made,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: who loved his family, invested in the next generation. In fact,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: shows conviction over comfort and asks the question every Christian
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: should consider, what am I willing to stand for? Really?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: In a world that constantly pressures believers that stay quiet,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Charlie's story reminds us that following Christ has always required boldness, humility,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: and unwavering faith. His legacy isn't about fame, It's about faithfulness,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: and he stood for that every day of his life.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: If you're looking for a story that will challenge and
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: encourage you to live out your own calling with courage,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: you need to see this. Go right now to angel
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: dot com slash pegs, angel dot com slash PAGs, become
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: an Angel Guild member, watch Charlie Kirk, American Martyr, and
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: help bring more stories of faith, courage and conviction to
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: audiences worldwide.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Your action, and they control what you say. Big crime
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and the major crime in the Soviet Union, engaging in
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: anti Soviet activity, or is that it's anything that the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Soviet Gestapo KGB rather says it is right. And I
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: went to some of their so called trials, most of
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: them were political trials. Drag somebody in. There's no jury,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: of course, there's three judges, They get a police report,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: they hear a few comments in the courtroom at the bench,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and they sentenced the offender and you never see them again.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: For usually political crimes. Engaging in anti Soviet activity, taking
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: a photograph, talking to your neighbor, saying something, Oh my goodness,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: say something against the Kremlin. You know, that's anti Soviet activity.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: That's a crime. You can't do that, you can't no
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: free speech and total oppression. You talk about the oppressed
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and the oppressors. In the communist world, the oppressed is everybody.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: The oppressor is the Soviet government, the elites, the controller
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: who may get all the money. Everybody else is oppressed
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: in every possible way. That people in the Soviet Union.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: When you're walking up down the street, they won't even
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: speak to you. Why not because you certainly can't talk
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: to a foreign foreigner from America, Texas Judge, you can't
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: talk to them. Why because you may be engaging in
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: anti Soviet activity. The KGB who followed me around all
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the time I was there, may arrest them, drag them
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: before this tribunal, secret trials, et cetera. So you know,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: it's very oppressed. But everybody's got a job. The government
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: picts your job. You may will want to be an engineer,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: you may want to be a school teacher. No, you're
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: going to sweep the streets. Why because the Soviet Union
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: decides that's what you're going to do. And it's a
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: place that everybody in America should study the history of.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Besides the fact that the Soviet Union Stalin primarily killed
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: millions of their own people. Why they do They starved
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: the people in Siberia the Star of the Pheasants. They
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: just killed their own people. Why because they had a
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: population problem. So where headed that direction? Modamie which is
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: whatever his name is Mamdani.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: But I make a mistake by saying moron a lot
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: of times that it's my bad. I don't mean to
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: call a moron Zamdani, but Mumdanni ted. Let me ask
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: you this on a legal basis, ken a mayor forced
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: taxpayers to build grocery stores, force taxpayers to lower the
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: grocery prices by thirty percent to get rid of competition.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: And let me take you to the next step. Ken
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: a mayor really put a petitear tax on somebody who
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: owns a second home in New York if it's worth
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: more than a million dollars. This guy is just he's
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: He's in everybody's pockets, He's in everybody's bank accounts. He's
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: pushing big. Does he have the right to do this crap?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I would have to look closer at New York municipal
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: law to say whether he can do that or not.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: There may be constitutional issues involved in seizing of property
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: without due process, without compensation. There would be those legal
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: constitutional arguments that I would make if I was in
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: New York as a citizen, that you could argue against.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: But the city seizing control setting up these free grocery
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: stores which is appealing to people. It's just the first
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: step that he has in total government control of the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: livelihood and where people live in New York. That's what
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: he's after. He wants to control where everybody lives. That's
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: his idea. And let me tell you something. I saw
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the Soviet apartments where people everybody lived in an apartment.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Nobody live in houses except the rural people back in Siberia,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you know, and they all those apartments. Look them up still,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I think the photographs are still up. Tremendously tall concrete structures,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: small apartments, and all of them belonged to the government,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: and everybody's was the same. But they you know, that's
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the way it is. Everybody.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: There was no meritocracy. You couldn't you couldn't move yourself up.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: You couldn't get a bigger, nicer house. You couldn't get
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: a bigger, nicer car.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the cars, you know, the Soviet the rulers
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: in the Soviet Union, they have a lot of money,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: had a lot of them. As far as cars, it
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: would take them. And it still takes the citizens a
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: long time to get a car. Usually it was ten years.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I think it's down to it buddy.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Regan told a joke about the ten year car.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I can't remember what the punch line was, but it's
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: something about the guy I ordered a car ten years
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: ago and he showed up in the morning and the
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: car dealer with ship was like, you ordered it for
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: the afternoon. So you know, it was crazy how how
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: completely controlled the population was, and we're that New York
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: and they're doing it by using class warfare. Ted Poe
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: has too much. I got to take some of his
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: to give it to this guy over here. We're just
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: looking out for the little guy and they're not. They're
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: looking out for themselves in the elite class. They'll be
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: the ones eating. They'll be the ones eating the prime
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: rib while everybody else goes and waits in line at
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: the thirty percent off grocery store. It's Ted po Ted,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I've got about a minute left, but I don't want
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: to not do this. John Thune should not be the
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Senate majority leader. In my opinion, you only need twenty
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: seven senators to say we're going to change leadership. You
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: got to do the talking filibuster. You've got to get
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: the Save America Act done so that we can believe
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: in our franchise at the polling place. Again, if you
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: were in the Senate, would you urge your fellow Republicans
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: that have the majority to get somebody else in the lead.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: He can't seem to gather enough votes to get anything done.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Yes to all the above. So the left is more
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: tenacious about their philosophy than Republicans are. We're timid. We're
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: afraid that would be called names if we do something.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: And he has to understand, and I think he does,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: we lose the Senate. The filibuster is gone, period. Well
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: get on with it now. Let's change the rules and
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: it's just a procedural rule, it's not in the constitution,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: it's not the law, and do away with the filibuster.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Move on with the president's agenda. Because all of the
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: things that you hear that they want to do, they're
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: going to do them if they get control. Believe them
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: when they say they're going to do this right and
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: show some enthusiasm, plesumption, and get on with it. You know,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you have the majority, we have the Senate, we have
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the House, we have the presidency. There's not one piece
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: of legislation that shouldn't be passed, not one that there
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: is conservative, that is good for the country. That's America first,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: because everything they want to do is America hate. They're
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: going to destroy America if you give them the chance,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: and don't give them the chance change the rules. If
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: you don't get it done.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: If you look at the same America Act done by
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: November already, it's probably too late. I think. I think
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the Left has waited us out long enough. But if
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: you don't get it done, you're going to lose at
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: least the House, if not the Senate. Then President Trump
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: is a lean duck for two years and these people
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: can can impeach him every day. That's what their goal is, right.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: That's what they're going to do, is impeaching. They don't
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: have a plan other than to destroy America and destroy Trump. So,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: like I said, we have we have it till November.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: You know, I think call the Senate back in session.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Why it has always been this in August, everybody takes
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a vacation in the House of Representatives and in the Senate,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: stay in session. You can do that. Stay in session,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: pass the law, get it done. We have the majority.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: There are ways you can do it procedurally without people
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: jumping out the windows to pass legislation. The left is
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: more tenacious and commits to their idea of destroying America
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: much more than we are of saving America. And it
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: goes all the way. One more thing, it goes all
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the way to voting. You know, we can win any election,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: but the Republicans don't vote because the guy's not pure enough.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: So we let the left decide who's gonna be in charge.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: So so stupid stupid is stupid is a good word.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: It is not not stupid at all, Judge Ted Poe,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: go follow them everywhere and all the social media. Ted,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: next time, we've got to talk about Paxson in tul Rico.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Tall Rico raised a bunch of money and he got
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of it from Reid Hoffman, from one guy,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: ten million dollars. They're doing all they can to buy
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: this seat. We're gonna have to do that next time.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Go and follow that everywhere. My friend, great to see
• 33:41
