  We got a big show for you guys tonight.
• 0:51
  A lot of news going down rapidly.
• 0:55
  As you guys know.
• 0:57
  Start off with uh Joe Kent, who was kind of uh Tulsi Gabbard's um right hand man, I guess, uh in this administration.
• 1:07
  He was uh I forget what was his official title, Rob, uh director of counterterrorism is was his official title.
• 1:17
  He worked closely with uh Tulsi Gabbard.
• 1:20
  Uh as you guys might know, we've had Joe on the show probably four, five times maybe.
• 1:26
  Uh he's been on quite a few times.
• 1:28
  He's always been a great guest and very gracious with this time and uh joining us, and uh I think Rob would agree, we'd like to have him back on at some point, and uh he could discuss uh this latest happening that we've seen with the Trump administration where he has submitted his resignation letter.
• 1:47
  Um, much like myself, he uh is opposed to the war in Iran.
• 1:54
  Uh we're hearing reports that he was uh suspected may have been giving out leaks.
• 2:01
  Uh like we said, we don't know this.
• 2:03
  This is just reports that we're hearing.
• 2:05
  Uh so there is maybe a trust issue with the Trump administration already.
• 2:10
  So he may have been on his way out already, but uh I think he was probably disappointed um in a lot of things that he saw that led to this, and it was just kind of one of those things that uh boiled over.
• 2:22
  Uh but Joe Kent, uh, I think it's a great patriot.
• 2:26
  I completely support his uh statement and resignation.
• 2:31
  Uh it's unfortunately that uh he had to resign and his voice uh wasn't making an impact, but if the reports are true and he'd been shut out of a lot of the meetings, uh they weren't really listening to him anyway, so uh he wasn't gonna make a difference like that.
• 2:49
  Um but be interesting, see where Joe goes from here.
• 2:53
  Uh certainly wish him nothing but the best.
• 2:55
  Uh the guy ran for Congress twice, uh put up a good fight against uh Horea Butler there in Washington.
• 3:04
  Uh he was deployed to the Middle East 11 times.
• 3:08
  Uh his wife Shannon Kent uh was killed in the Middle East uh in one of those entanglements, and that's when his relationship with President Trump started, uh, because it happened in the first Trump administration, and uh he said President Trump had reached out to him and uh comforted him, flew him to the White House, uh just treated him like a real gentleman.
• 3:30
  And uh that's when him and Trump's uh personal relationship seemed to have begun and uh it went well for several years, but uh as Rob and I have said before, war is a very emotional and divisive topic, and uh unfortunately it's led to this, Rob.
• 3:48
  You're right, Andrew.
• 3:49
  I want to thank all of our listeners for tuning in tonight, because as we always say, you could be somewhere else, but you decided to listen to us, and maybe some of you were listening, tuning in tonight, uh following uh our tweets or postings on X, formerly known as Twitter.
• 4:07
  Andrew and I have difference of opinion on the war, the conflict.
• 4:11
  Keep saying war because everyone's saying war, but of course, Congress can only declare war.
• 4:15
  I will say this about Joe.
• 4:18
  Without a doubt, he is a patron, Andrew, and I'm sure you would agree with that.
• 4:21
  He is a patriot.
• 4:23
  He is a hero.
• 4:26
  We have always said that.
• 4:28
  So much so that he's been on our show.
• 4:30
  I we consider him a friend of the show, because as you mentioned, he's been on the show like five times.
• 4:36
  Very generous with this time.
• 4:38
  You call him up, if he's available, as he's told us, I will come on and I will talk.
• 4:43
  I will run my mouth.
• 4:44
  Which is what he's done when whenever we reached out to him.
• 4:48
  And you would think he would say, Oh no, I don't have time.
• 4:51
  But he has always come on to speak with us about the war.
• 5:00
  Uh, remember when they the fall of Afghanistan and he came on and he's talked to us about that and how he was disappointed in Joe Biden.
• 5:08
  And we spoke about this on last night, how when the troops were coming home, the debt troops, and Joe Biden was busy funnel fumbling with his watch and not paying attention, as he should have been in a very sacred ceremony.
• 5:22
  He spoke with us about that, spoke with us about his wife and uh having lost her, I think, in Syria.
• 5:28
  And think this was during the Obama administration.
• 5:32
  Uh, but again, just a really nice guy.
• 5:36
  He did run for Congress, did not make it.
• 5:38
  Andrew mentioned he ran twice.
• 5:41
  And it might have been because there weren't he they just didn't get behind him, people didn't get behind him the way they should, and I think in some many instances, for some reason Republicans do that.
• 5:52
  We if it's not if when we look at the top of the ticket, if we don't see that person there, we don't come out and vote.
• 5:59
  We've got to stop that.
• 6:01
  There is too much at stake.
• 6:06
  We've got to stop getting mad because the person we want to run isn't running.
• 6:11
  Because Democrats don't do that.
• 6:14
  We've got to get out there.
• 6:16
  If you don't like the candidate, you've got to vote.
• 6:19
  Because we see what's happening to our country now.
• 6:23
  Yesterday was St.
• 6:25
  Patrick's Day.
• 6:26
  We had the president of Ireland to come over.
• 6:30
  Have you looked at Ireland recently, looked at the map, and look at the makeup of Ireland?
• 6:38
  A majority of the people who were born there came from another country.
• 6:45
  Many of them came from the Middle East, many of them came from Africa.
• 6:48
  Ireland is not the Ireland that it used to be.
• 6:56
  Why is that?
• 6:57
  Well, people just decided just to give up and you know, look the other way and let crazy people come into the country because we feel sorry for them, which is what we have going on here in America.
• 7:07
  The exact same thing.
• 7:09
  You look around if we I'm not you know trying to be xenophobic or whatnot.
• 7:14
  And if you think I am, who cares?
• 7:16
  You gotta call out the truth.
• 7:18
  Okay, as my grandma used to say, tell the truth and shame the devil.
• 7:23
  We have too many radical Islamists here in this country.
• 7:27
  We have gotta put the brakes on it.
• 7:29
  Okay, we gotta put the brakes on it, folks.
• 7:31
  There's just two too many for comfort.
• 7:34
  But the story that I wanted to mention is that you look this guy came here yesterday talking to Trump, and I just happened to do just a little research.
• 7:42
  I'm like, who's this guy?
• 7:43
  Then look at the population of Ireland, Ireland, and it's devastating.
• 7:50
  And the same thing has happened to the UK, to Germany, Switzerland.
• 7:58
  Because they took their eyes off the ball.
• 8:03
  They woke up and now they have all these problems.
• 8:07
  And people will say, oh, but we want them to come in.
• 8:10
  No, you don't.
• 8:10
  If they can't come and be on their own, if they can't come and be self-sufficient, why are they coming?
• 8:16
  There is a reason they're coming.
• 8:18
  They're trying to take over.
• 8:20
  This isn't like the 15 and the 1400 when the Moors came and almost conquered, well, not almost, but they conquered all of Europe.
• 8:27
  That's the reason why when you go there, you will see different mosques and build it's built like that.
• 8:31
  And when they conquer, if you don't accept, they kill you.
• 8:34
  And this is what they're telling us here today.
• 8:36
  They're they will kill you.
• 8:38
  But yet we have these liberals that are oh no, let them come.
• 8:41
  Oh, we love you.
• 8:42
  Yeah, right.
• 8:44
  And I say that because Joe is Irish.
• 8:48
  And maybe when we could get him to come on, we'll get him to talk.
• 8:52
  What are his thoughts on this makeup this change and demographics and is native of Ireland?
• 9:00
  And definitely here in the United States, another parts of Europe.
• 9:05
  Something that we need to keep an eye on.
• 9:08
  And we need to push back and not be afraid.
• 9:12
  Going back to Joe.
• 9:15
  As Andrew mentioned, he resigned.
• 9:17
  He put out a letter.
• 9:19
  It's a letter of resignation on on ex Twitter.
• 9:22
  I want to say Twitter X, they're synonymous.
• 9:24
  But you know, something else is interesting, Andrew.
• 9:26
  Have you noticed that a lot of nowadays, a lot of our uh politicking and communication is done on Twitter.
• 9:36
  It's just like openly.
• 9:38
  Oh, how do you feel about that?
• 9:40
  I'm not a fan.
• 9:43
  I personally don't even like the monetization of Twitter because what we've seen is people posting uh things for engagement or for content because they make money off of it instead of maybe you know posting how they sincerely feel.
• 10:01
  And things like that.
• 10:03
  I mean, you see it on both both sides.
• 10:06
  You do it.
• 10:07
  And I don't, I don't like it either.
• 10:08
  But I remember back when it first started, and it's compliments of Trump and not just politically.
• 10:14
  People post that AI slop all the time of these.
• 10:17
  Crazy stuff.
• 10:18
  AKI videos and stuff.
• 10:20
  It's like they get paid for it.
• 10:22
  Right.
• 10:22
  I find myself before retweeting something or Xing something.
• 10:26
  Always look to say, let me make sure this is legitimate.
• 10:29
  Because you have a lot of people that are healthier, as you mentioned, that are just, you know, doing it for the clicks because it's monetized.
• 10:36
  And I would think that.
• 10:37
  You know, Elon Musk is always looking at no fear and balance and making certain that correct information is out there that he would like trying to cut down on that, but it doesn't seem like he is.
• 10:45
  He claims that he is, but he's not.
• 10:46
  But just going back to posting things, and that's how we found out about Joe Kent.
• 10:51
  And as I was about to say, you know, we have to think Trump thanks to Trump, who who usually end this thing because during his first term, he used social media, Twitter to almost use it to his advantage to get his word out there.
• 11:03
  And that's the reason why he got kicked off because he didn't like it.
• 11:05
  And we got kicked off also.
• 11:07
  Because our voices were out there.
• 11:08
  That's when you can say what you mean and you meant it, and people were listening.
• 11:12
  Now you got to be careful because you don't know if someone is trying to fool you into believing something that's not true.
• 11:19
  Enter Joe Kent.
• 11:21
  He posted his letter of resignation online, and when I saw it, I thought, wait a minute, is this real?
• 11:25
  I looked at my well, it's like it's a copy of the resignation.
• 11:28
  Remember, Andrew, I sent it to you.
• 11:29
  I was sending it to you, and you were sending it to me.
• 11:31
  We both we both saw this like popped up in our timeline.
• 11:34
  And I thought, is this real?
• 11:36
  You know, and I was working from home, but I decided I'm like, let me just turn TV on and see, and lo and behold, damn, there it is.
• 11:42
  It's real.
• 11:42
  You know.
• 11:43
  I thought, wow.
• 11:45
  He's resigning, and we're finding out about it on Twitter.
• 11:50
  And I guess back in the day we would have learned it on they would have on the six o'clock news, they would have broke in and talked about it.
• 11:55
  Instead, you know, Joe Kent, he's resigning, blah, blah, blah, blah, because of whatever reason.
• 12:00
  But the media immediately jumped on this.
• 12:06
  And he became their it boy.
• 12:11
  After not being their it boy.
• 12:14
  After doing his confirmation.
• 12:17
  They ripped him to shred, saying that there is no way he should be approved for that position.
• 12:25
  Oh, they came out in drove saying, Oh, how can Trump pick him?
• 12:28
  This guy is crazy, and there's no way.
• 12:31
  And then all at once, when he resigned, they decided, wow, we like him.
• 12:38
  He makes sense now.
• 12:41
  We should definitely uh showcase him.
• 12:45
  And I'm sure they're going to reach out to him and try to get try to book him on some of their shows.
• 12:50
  As you mentioned, Andrew, we're going to try to reach out to him as well.
• 12:52
  But we've always been a friend and a fan, unlike the media, who have just relished and and destroying him.
• 13:04
  And because he is coming out, so they think against Trump.
• 13:10
  Now they want to make him their it boy because they like what he's saying.
• 13:17
  So here's what's interesting, Andrew, about all this.
• 13:20
  Them making him their id boy.
• 13:24
  When Mike Pence came out and said that he supported what Trump was doing in Iran.
• 13:33
  No one on the left invited him on their show.
• 13:38
  And if they did, they didn't showcase it.
• 13:41
  Why is that?
• 13:42
  You would think that they would have.
• 13:44
  Because Mike Pence, there's no love loss.
• 13:46
  We saw the acrimene between Trump and Mike Pence after he left, after they both left the White House.
• 13:54
  And he couldn't get booked enough.
• 13:56
  Yeah.
• 13:58
  CNN and MSNBC.
• 14:00
  Go ahead, Andrew.
• 14:01
  I think part of it is Mike Pence just isn't popular and uh Joe Kent.
• 14:07
  Um even without the media's admiration, uh, his tweet.
• 14:12
  I mean, it's one of the biggest of Twitter in the year.
• 14:15
  Top five tweet all year.
• 14:17
  Uh is when he announced that.
• 14:19
  So uh it's definitely a big talking point.
• 14:22
  And uh maybe ratings for right now to uh talk about him.
• 14:28
  Well, of course it is because he's going against Trump, which is which is which is what they like.
• 14:33
  Mike Pence didn't like Trump after the 2020 election, they couldn't get enough of him.
• 14:41
  But because he's now agreeing with Trump, which is what they did not think.
• 14:45
  Now it's like, oh, we love him.
• 14:47
  We we we we you know, we we we love Joe Kent, that is.
• 14:50
  We love Joe Kent.
• 14:51
  Right.
• 14:51
  Mike Pence, oh no, forget about Mike Pence.
• 14:54
  But Mike Pence is the one who said that maybe if Trump did something wrong, he should be charged.
• 15:01
  And and remember, he even went on uh the Clay and Buck Sexton show, and they were asking him, they said that if Trump, if you become president, if Trump is uh uh if Trump is indicted, will you pardon him?
• 15:16
  He would not give an answer.
• 15:20
  Would not.
• 15:22
  But now that he's agreeing with Trump, no one wants to talk to him.
• 15:29
  Talk about being political.
• 15:32
  This is political.
• 15:34
  And as always, here on After Dark, we come with the receipts.
• 15:40
  So I want to play your receipt of the left attacking Joe Kent and saying that Joe Kent should not be put in the position that Trump wanted him in, the director of national intelli uh uh counterintelligence.
• 16:03
  This is him saying, oh no, he's easy to mistake, this is gonna be wrong.
• 16:07
  And again, this is before they fell in love with him yesterday.
• 16:12
  Run the tape.
• 16:14
  Failed Republican congressional candidates twice.
• 16:34
  Agree with the Senator.
• 16:36
  They would agree with the senator.
• 16:38
  What change?
• 16:39
  He's going against Trump.
• 16:40
  And we see this all the time.
• 16:42
  Whenever someone comes out and says something counter to what Trump is saying, the media loves it.
• 16:46
  All at once, he becomes that person becomes their it person.
• 16:50
  They look at John Bolton.
• 16:51
  They hated John Bolton.
• 16:52
  The moment he turned on Trump, oh, they loved him.
• 16:55
  Look at Michael Cohen.
• 16:56
  They hated Michael Cohen.
• 16:58
  They wanted Michael Cohen in jail.
• 16:59
  But when Michael Coin turned against Trump, they loved him.
• 17:02
  You know what's happening now?
• 17:04
  Now Michael Cohen is flipping again.
• 17:06
  He's saying that Letitia uh James and that Alvin Bragg forced him and to testify against Trump.
• 17:12
  Now the media hates Michael Coin again.
• 17:15
  Andrew, make sense of it all for me, please.
• 17:18

  We're back here on After Dark with Rob and Andrew.
• 19:40
  Just continue our discussion tonight.
• 19:42
  We're discussing the resignation of Joe Kent in the first half of the show.
• 19:48
  And um it was obvious what was going to happen after his resignation.
• 19:53
  We see this any time anyone goes against the war or brings up how highly influential Israel.
• 20:00
  Is in our government.
• 20:01
  The smear campaign starts right away, right?
• 20:03
  So we saw that a lot on the right.
• 20:05
  The talking points uh came out instantly from Carolyn Levitt and other Trump administration officials.
• 20:13
  Uh Carolyn Levitt, just like a month ago, or not even that, since the war had started, had tweeted out that Iran wasn't a direct threat to the United States.
• 20:22
  And then uh she changed her tune and bashed Joe for saying that.
• 20:26
  Same thing I've been saying.
• 20:28
  And uh just a lot of other things trying to act like he's been leaking all this intel before they know any facts.
• 20:36
  Uh just the um coordinated effort to smear him, and we've seen it with Tucker Carlson and others, where any time someone speaks out against the war, uh, they're gonna try and ruin their name, bury them, maybe throw them in prison.
• 20:53
  Uh we'll see what happens.
• 20:55
  Well, I I have to agree with I have to disagree with you on a couple things.
• 20:58
  First of all, I didn't know that Carolyn Levitt just had a baby.
• 21:01
  I knew she was pregnant.
• 21:03
  I'm like, she popped the kid out already.
• 21:05
  But I was reading that she popped the kid out, took two days off, and now she's back at work.
• 21:08
  Like, oh my gosh.
• 21:10
  I thought she was just she just got pregnant.
• 21:12
  She should be ashamed of herself for that message she put out about Joe Kent.
• 21:16
  Oh, Andrew, come on.
• 21:18
  She should be ashamed.
• 21:20
  Well, well, if she should be ashamed, she's a propagandist is what she is.
• 21:24
  I mean, she's saying what yeah, but that's her job.
• 21:26
  I understand that.
• 21:27
  Right.
• 21:27
  But yeah, but if she should be a Go ahead.
• 21:30
  I I I did not agree with that message.
• 21:32
  Well, if she should be ashamed, show should he.
• 21:34
  Because back in September 25th, 2020, he did a tweet and he said Iran has been after Trump since January of 2020.
• 21:42
  After he ordered the targeted killing of the terrorist Cassim Silomani.
• 21:47
  This isn't a new threat.
• 21:49
  The Secret Service consistently failing to secure Trump is new.
• 21:54
  We need to figure out exactly why these failures keep happening.
• 21:57
  That's a bash on the Secret Service, not saying that we should go to war with Iran.
• 22:01
  I don't get what that tweet proves at all.
• 22:04
  I mean, obviously Iran was a bad actor.
• 22:06
  Everyone knew that.
• 22:07
  Right, but he said that doesn't mean we should go to war with them.
• 22:09
  I mean, North Korea is a bad actor.
• 22:11
  Should we go to war with them?
• 22:12
  I mean North Korea.
• 22:14
  We're all for the Middle East.
• 22:15
  The Middle East is a dump.
• 22:17
  I mean, uh, we're just spending endless money going into these endless wars with no uh direction.
• 22:24
  We weren't even attacked this time.
• 22:26
  Uh we just started this war, and uh it's gonna backfire.
• 22:31
  It's already backfiring for the American people.
• 22:33
  Uh I'm going on a trip this weekend.
• 22:36
  Gas is gonna be a lot more expensive.
• 22:38
  People are noticing uh other prices are going up because anytime oil goes up, uh retirement's dropping again.
• 22:45
  Uh this this has just been a disaster.
• 22:47
  How long have we been in this?
• 22:49
  Too long.
• 22:51
  Ten days.
• 22:52
  And a just a minor hiccup with gas prices, what gas price is now like three or four dollars compared to when Joe Biden was in office, it was like five or six dollars.
• 23:02
  They're more they're at the hit Biden's peak, they're more, but not for like Biden's last year in office.
• 23:08
  They're they're a lot more than ten days, uh two a week and almost a half, and we're already disgruntled after four decades.
• 23:18
  We say that, and I hear a lot of people saying that.
• 23:20
  Well, what did they do?
• 23:21
  I was never interested in this war anyway.
• 23:23
  I told people to vote for President Trump because if you want to go to war with Iran, Nikki Haley will take you right there.
• 23:29
  I said if you don't want to go to Iran, if you want to put America first, we're gonna vote for President Trump and focus on domestic issues, the economy.
• 23:38
  But we can't do that.
• 23:39
  We can't do both at the same time.
• 23:40
  We can't do them both at the same time.
• 23:42
  Um it doesn't look like it because we're not getting anything done here.
• 23:46
  Like what?
• 23:47
  He's he's already talked about the uh the jobs that are coming here.
• 23:50
  He's already got a lot of people.
• 23:57
  Yeah, but the last I look, Tom Holman is still rounding people up.
• 24:01
  It's not his fault that those states.
• 24:03
  And now he's talking about letting illegals fill in some of these farm jobs and other things like that.
• 24:08
  I mean, we're not gonna get the mass deportations.
• 24:11
  He's cutting back on them.
• 24:12
  Right, but we talked about we we talked about the mass deportations.
• 24:16
  Right.
• 24:16
  We we and we talk about that mass deportations, and we know that there is already a system that we allow folks to come here to work and then we send them back.
• 24:26
  That's already given.
• 24:27
  Okay.
• 24:28
  Now, if we want to change that, Congress has to change it.
• 24:32
  Trump can't do everything by himself.
• 24:34
  We need to reach out to our representatives and tell them, what are you guys doing?
• 24:37
  They're sitting there watching Trump take these hits.
• 24:40
  I mean, we say that no new wars and that Nikki Haley would have taken us there.
• 24:45
  But for four decades, four decades now, we have sat back and we've watched Iran take these little shots at us.
• 24:53
  Because we're busy with other Middle Eastern wars.
• 24:56
  What are the Middle Eastern wars?
• 24:58
  Iran is a really Afghanistan.
• 25:00
  Yeah, but that was four decades.
• 25:03
  Yeah.
• 25:04
  We're in we're in Afghanistan for 25 years.
• 25:07
  Yeah, well, that's going to miss up the Democrats.
• 25:09
  Before that, we're in Desert Storm.
• 25:11
  I mean, uh, we've been pretty busy in the Middle East since the 90s.
• 25:15
  1982, I think.
• 25:18
  Trump said, Trump said we need to do something about Iran.
• 25:22
  And that if it were him, he would have already blown them up.
• 25:25
  This is back in 1982.
• 25:26
  So this is not Israel talking to Trump.
• 25:28
  But he also bashed Obama a million times, saying that uh Obama's poll numbers are falling.
• 25:34
  He's gonna bomb Iran because he doesn't know how to negotiate and things like that.
• 25:38
  I mean, uh that's what the thing.
• 25:40
  We thought art of the deal.
• 25:41
  Trump was a master negotiator.
• 25:43
  We didn't think he was gonna enter us in every war he got a chance to.
• 25:46
  And I don't think he's entering us in every war that he's gotten a chance to.
• 25:49
  I think he's he's been negotiating after another.
• 25:52
  Like when?
• 25:52
  Venezuela, we know that's on the side.
• 25:54
  That's taking away.
• 25:57
  I mean, we've just bombed Iran last year.
• 26:00
  But would you prefer that we set back like Quentin Clinton did with North Korea?
• 26:05
  Yes.
• 26:06
  And let them get a nuke.
• 26:07
  Yes, because they have a nuke.
• 26:09
  It didn't matter.
• 26:10
  Well, no, they didn't have a nuke at the end.
• 26:11
  What would we have done?
• 26:12
  What would we have done?
• 26:13
  Attacked them, and what what good would that have done us?
• 26:15
  I mean, but North Korea didn't have one at the time.
• 26:18
  Okay.
• 26:19
  Okay, so we're saying exactly comp a miss because we took our eyes off the ball.
• 26:26
  And we said let's welcome them in the same way we did try.
• 26:29
  We're not the world police, Rob.
• 26:30
  We can't world super power.
• 26:34
  But see, I I think that's what people fail to realize.
• 26:36
  It's time to stop being uh we need to just put America first.
• 26:41
  Focusing on the rest of the world.
• 26:43
  Everybody's so obsessed with the rest of the world.
• 26:45
  I agree with you.
• 26:46
  Right.
• 26:46
  Let's do something for America.
• 26:48
  I mean, look at how much money we spend overseas.
• 26:51
  Look how much money we send to these foreign countries like the Ukraine and uh these other uh countries in Europe.
• 26:58
  Let's keep that here.
• 26:59
  Let's stop spending that.
• 27:01
  Let's stop spending the money in the Middle East.
• 27:03
  And let China take the lead.
• 27:05
  China doesn't even want to go into Iran and take the uh oil bill.
• 27:09
  Well, they don't they don't now.
• 27:10
  They don't now because they see what America will do.
• 27:13
  But look at what they were doing before this.
• 27:14
  Look at what they were doing in our backyard.
• 27:17
  In South America.
• 27:19
  We have to military in the world, Rob.
• 27:22
  I mean, yeah, but we we talked, but now they Iran would have never ever been able to strike us.
• 27:30
  But Iran would have been able to attack our neighbors, and as an ally, our neighbors are in the Middle East.
• 27:37
  We have to say, our neighbor is Canada and Mexico.
• 27:41
  If had we let Iran get a nuke, Iran would have controlled the Middle East, control all the oral production, and if they got a if they got a nuke, then Saudi Arabia is gonna say, Well, we want a nuke.
• 27:53
  Israel is a very important thing.
• 27:55
  And they and they have a lot they have the strongest military in the Middle East.
• 28:00
  But is they need us?
• 28:02
  But is Israel threatening their neighbors?
• 28:05
  I'm not saying I have a problem with them having a nuke.
• 28:08
  I'm just saying that they probably do.
• 28:10
  I mean, it's not out there, but they do have the strongest military in the Middle East.
• 28:15
  They're quite capable of uh shutting down Iran themselves.
• 28:20
  But to me, then it goes back to geopolitics and the reason why Trump is able to forge a relationship with all these guff states, knowing that this will probably lead to this.
• 28:30
  But once and for all, we need to get rid of this threat so that we can live in peace.
• 28:37
  Every president has come into office with Iran being the threat for four decades.
• 28:42
  But the radicals, it's just gonna be replaced by uh, you know, a new radical administration.
• 28:48
  Maybe 30 years from now.
• 28:49
  This this guy was 87 years old.
• 28:52
  Maybe 30 years from now, it will come back again.
• 28:55
  It's like, congratulations, you killed an old man.
• 28:58
  Oh, oh, absolutely.
• 28:59
  But look, but but for Ford for no man who was wreaking havoc.
• 29:04
  For four decades, we've seen American lives lost.
• 29:07
  We have seen them support terrorist activity.
• 29:10
  So we don't do anything because we're afraid.
• 29:12
  I mean, that's what I'm that's what I'm I keep hearing people say, well, how many of you have to do that?
• 29:17
  Because we were in the Middle East.
• 29:19
  I'm sorry.
• 29:20
  How many of the lives lost, particularly in the last 10, 15 years were because we had our troops in the Middle East when they shouldn't have been there?
• 29:28
  I agree with you wholeheartedly.
• 29:30
  But does Trump have our troops in the Middle East?
• 29:33
  No.
• 29:34
  Well, we've got eight million.
• 29:35
  What is he doing?
• 29:36
  He's bombing up.
• 29:37
  He well, we have military bases across the world, and this happened after World War II.
• 29:44
  So that just in case something happens, we're geographically positioned to get our folks there.
• 29:50
  That's the reason why we're there.
• 29:51
  And we can thank NATO for that.
• 29:53
  If we want to just like shut everything down and say we're gonna check our marbles and go home, then we need to get out of NATO and we need to keep the UN out of here.
• 30:00
  Yes.
• 30:00
  And I've always said we need to get kicked the UN out of here.
• 30:02
  Okay.
• 30:03
  Yes.
• 30:03
  But it doesn't work that way.
• 30:06
  Because it's either us or another country.
• 30:10
  And that other country would have been China.
• 30:14
  Now China is thinking twice before they do anything.
• 30:18
  Now, Trump will eventually leave office.
• 30:20
  Republicans will eventually leave office.
• 30:22
  And you mark my word, if it is a Democrat.
• 30:25
  The status that we have now that we lost under Biden, that we lost under Obama because they were like, oh, we don't want to do anything.
• 30:33
  We just want to stay at home and we want to say don't do this and don't do that.
• 30:36
  And they laugh right at us and walk right over us.
• 30:39
  Bill Clinton tried that, and then North Korea got a nuke.
• 30:43
  Bill Clinton stood his ground, they would have never gotten a nuke.
• 30:46
  And now we've seen for the past decade, Iran has been threatening and trying to get a nuke, trying to build it.
• 30:54
  And before they got it, they were supporting terrorist activities all over.
• 30:59
  Look at what happened in Syria.
• 31:01
  Obama don't, and then we got the creation of ISIS.
• 31:04
  I don't think people understand.
• 31:05
  No, I I get it.
• 31:07
  Let's just stay at home and let's do what we need to do.
• 31:09
  But when we do that, you have these other foreign actors, radicals that rise up, and then they start to bully the rest of the world.
• 31:17
  And then they drag us in on it.
• 31:20
  What did we do to bring on 9-11?
• 31:24
  When Iraq was in having a fight with Iran, we went into Iraq and we said we're gonna help you out.
• 31:32
  And then we raised up Saddam Hussein, then we helped the bin Laden is he was fighting with them.
• 31:36
  And what did they do?
• 31:37
  They turned their back on us.
• 31:40
  Because we looked the other way, we said, oh, we're gonna leave the law, and then we were for sick forsake this the Kurds with a curse with saying, oh no, don't you don't understand these people?
• 31:49
  We say, Oh, well, you you figure it out, and then look at what happened.
• 31:53
  Then we had Afghanistan.
• 31:54
  So when we don't do anything, we think that we're being good, and well, you know, we're just gonna mind our own business.
• 31:59
  Well, we're mining our own business, and we take our eyes off of what's happening.
• 32:03
  This is what happens.
• 32:04
  We have situations like this.
• 32:06
  Four decades, like I said, in Iran, four decades.
• 32:10
  They're mad.
• 32:11
  Well, we want to do if you want to do something.
• 32:15
  I oftentimes uh ask people, you look at Saudi Arabia, you look at all the these countries are wealthy.
• 32:20
  Do any of them have higher levels of education, universities?
• 32:25
  No.
• 32:26
  Why not?
• 32:27
  Yeah, but after this bombing, the hate and contempt for America is gonna be even stronger because the propaganda is going to continue in Iran.
• 32:35
  So I mean, what's it really gonna get us?
• 32:37
  I mean, 10, 15 years later, they're just gonna be you know, terrorists, radicals, just like they are now.
• 32:44
  Well, I'll tell you what it's gonna get us.
• 32:46
  It's gonna I mean, these guys' response was pathetic.
• 32:49
  I mean, they bombed a few of their neighbors in some weak attacks.
• 32:53
  Uh, they just basically threw everything they had out the window.
• 32:56
  They weren't a serious threat in the first place.
• 32:59
  Uh they they won't be in 20 years.
• 33:02
  Well, how do you define a serious threat?
• 33:04
  They weren't a year ago.
• 33:05
  They could never uh attack America.
• 33:08
  But but how do you define a serious threat?
• 33:10
  What is a serious threat?
• 33:12
  Someone that could attack our homeland.
• 33:15
  But what about and challenge us here?
• 33:19
  Okay, what about someone attacking our embassy and killing Americans?
• 33:23
  That's not a serious threat.
• 33:26
  Well, obviously.
• 33:27
  Our embassies.
• 33:28
  We have embassies just like all over.
• 33:30
  Right.
• 33:31
  Obviously, that would be a diplomatic issue if they did that, but that didn't happen.
• 33:35
  But it doesn't matter, it's still a threat.
• 33:37
  Lives a loss.
• 33:38
  Look at Libya.
• 33:40
  Look at what happened in Iran when they stormed in, and they're not.
• 33:44
  Maybe we need to close down all these embassies.
• 33:47
  I mean, I don't have an issue with that at all.
• 33:52
  Then you're definitely then you're definitely saying that.
• 33:54
  Save us a lot of money, I'm sure.
• 33:56
  No, you're definitely then you're definitely setting yourself up.
• 33:58
  I mean, you imagine how much money we spend on these embassies all over the world.
• 34:02
  I mean, what are they for?
• 34:03
  I mean, it is it is to wasted money.
• 34:07
  Well, it is no, it's not.
• 34:09
  It is to promote our interest, promote who we are, our country.
• 34:13
  We already have a lot of these countries on our welfare list.
• 34:16
  We we provide security for a lot of these countries, for Germany, for the UK.
• 34:21
  And I can I see why Trump is so upset with these countries who are just sitting back looking at he's saying, Well, why don't you guys go in and uh protect the uh the straight harmoose?
• 34:34
  What is it?
• 34:34
  The straight up Hamas the straight up Hamas.
• 34:38
  Why don't you go in and protect it?
• 34:40
  Oh, we don't want to.
• 34:41
  Oh, we're afraid to.
• 34:43
  But then if we say if we're gonna do it, we're gonna take the oil, and then we will immediately say that's not fair.
• 34:49
  Well, why is it not fair?
• 34:50
  Trump had said that even when we're in Iraq, he said, why are we defending them?
• 34:55
  Why don't we take the oil and pay for it?
• 34:57
  So if we're saying that we're we're wasting all this money because we're there, well, no, we should take the oil, and I'm hoping that he's thinking that we're gonna take the oil and we're gonna pay for this the same thing we're doing with Venezuela.
• 35:08
  Democrats won't do it, but he will.
• 35:10
  So while we're saying, oh, look how much this is gonna cost us, okay.
• 35:13
  We write them a bill and we say, we this is what we did, and you're gonna pay us for it.
• 35:17
  We have control of the oil anyway.
• 35:19
  We can do whatever we want.
• 35:20
  The Strait of Harmoose, that's what it is.
• 35:22
  I said Hamas.
• 35:24
  We've already bombed the areas in CARG where they make their uh they produce refine their oil.
• 35:30
  We should take that over.
• 35:31
  But of course, if we do, you'll have Democrats, oh, we're gonna impeach, then you have some weak Republicans, oh, we're gonna impeach.
• 35:36
  Well, why would we?
• 35:37
  Look at what they did to us.
• 35:40
  We have to go there, we had to straighten this out.
• 35:42
  We have to bomb them back to Timbuktu, so that it'll take them at least 50 years before they're able to rise and do anything else.
• 35:51
  As a result, you're gonna pay us back in oil.
• 35:55
  I think we should.
• 35:57
  If we're gonna go in, if we're gonna clean house, then we should be paid for.
• 36:02
  And then once it's done, we won't have to worry about you guys coming out again.
• 36:05
  Yeah, they might be able to do it, but it'll probably take them a good 50 years, considering what we've done.
• 36:11
  As I always say, Andrew, time will tell.
• 36:15
  Indeed, it will.
• 36:17
  Hopefully, I'll be wrong.
• 36:18
  And the thing will wrap up here.
• 36:20
  You better be wrong.
• 36:21
  And yeah, the next week.
• 36:23
  And uh, yeah, I'd rather be wrong.
• 36:26
  I have no problem admitting when I am wrong.
• 36:28
  But uh, yeah, hopefully I will be.
• 36:31

• 37:51
  And we're back in the last half of the show.
• 37:53
  And we're just having a friendly debate on Iran and America's part and if they shared if they shouldn't.
• 38:03
  Of course, I support this.
• 38:04
  Andrew's probably calling me a little neocon.
• 38:07
  I don't care.
• 38:08
  And he doesn't support it.
• 38:10
  But you know, I going back to Joe Kent's statement, everything he said, like I said, he's a hero.
• 38:14
  We like Joe, friend of a show, we're gonna have him back on.
• 38:17
  But what I didn't like from his statement is for him to say that we're being led by Israel and the big lobbyist.
• 38:28
  To me, that has gotten so old, and it's easy to blame Israel and say, oh, Trump is following Israel.
• 38:36
  And as I pointed out, back in 1980, Trump has been saying we need to go in and we need to put this whole Iranian mess to bed for one super all.
• 38:45
  I I don't necessarily think Netanyahu is influencing Trump, but I mean the guys clearly got like Lindsay Graham and a lot of the other uh rhinos in the Republican Congress and Senate wrapped around his finger.
• 39:02
  I mean, Lindsay Graham was saying we need to move all our stuff to Israel the other night on Fox News.
• 39:07
  No one even knew what he meant by it, but uh I think they do a real disservice when people call people like Joe Kent anti-Semitic because when people come out and say things that really are anti-Semitic, it's cheap in the word, kind of like racism, you know.
• 39:25
  Yep, like Joe Kent's uh write up might have been a crit critique of the Israel government, but I didn't look at that as a critique of Jews, and I'd like to say the same thing.
• 39:36
  Sometimes I'll critique the Israel government, maybe uh the lobbyists like Rob mentioned.
• 39:43
  But it's not uh the Jewish people or Jews, and like Rob's talked about for some are non secular.
• 39:50
  Uh there's a lot of different kinds of uh Jews.
• 39:53
  So um I know a lot of people though on the right, definitely have uh
• 40:00
  An issue with the Jews.
• 40:02
  So it is smeared somewhere in the middle there.
• 40:07
  Where uh people are paranoid, but any time someone criticizes the uh Israel government, I don't like how people say it's anti-Semitic because that's not the truth.
• 40:19
  Like I don't like Benjamin Netanyahu.
• 40:22
  Rob will agree with this.
• 40:24
  It started right after the election was stolen, and Netanyahu congratulated Joe Biden.
• 40:30
  I had no problem with the guy up until then.
• 40:33
  But uh I thought he was a turncoat, turned his back on President Trump, and I've never liked him since.
• 40:39
  Um but that doesn't make me anti-Semitic.
• 40:42
  I just don't like Benjamin Netanyahu.
• 40:44
  You know, right.
• 40:45
  Well, I I don't there are a lot of people that a lot of Jewish people that don't like Benjamin Netanyahu.
• 40:49
  Uh Heather, who's on the show, friend of the show, well, one of our uh co-host, uh a uh contributor for the New York Post, she also doesn't care for Benjamin Netanyahu, because I think a lot of people find him to be kind of sneaky.
• 41:03
  I didn't have a problem with him calling Joe Biden because he knew that hey, I've got to work with this administration.
• 41:07
  But I see where you're coming from when you say you had a problem with it.
• 41:10
  But I just I I don't like it.
• 41:13
  Trump was his number one ally, even in the first administration.
• 41:16
  I don't think Trump cares for Meither.
• 41:17
  Moving the embassy to uh Jerusalem and stuff like that, but I don't think Trump cares for Myth.
• 41:24
  I think that Trump tolerates him as much as he can.
• 41:27
  Uh, but I don't think he likes him.
• 41:29
  I just I I think that he could have made his point Kent without saying, you know, you bet he's being led by Israel.
• 41:39
  And we hear so many people on the left saying the exact same thing because to me, I think Israel is a is an easy target to beat and to say, and when you do say it, it becomes emotional.
• 41:50
  And then people start to say, oh my god, yeah.
• 41:52
  But again, Trump has been saying this since for four decades.
• 41:55
  He didn't know Benjamin Netanyahu then.
• 41:58
  He wasn't even on the the political stage.
• 42:00
  So for anyone to say that I think they're being disingenuous, all you have to do is just look at what Trump, I was gonna say his past tweets, not look at his past tweets, but look at previous videos that he has come out and he's called out uh uh uh Iran and other foreign players and said what we should do.
• 42:18
  He said the same thing about China, how we were letting China take advantage of us, and people said, Oh, well, he's just saying that because China won't let him build a Trump casino or Trump, whatever there.
• 42:28
  No, the man has been consistent from day one.
• 42:31
  I don't think that the Lindsay Grams are influencing him.
• 42:34
  Now, what he's doing, Lindsay Graham probably likes the Neil Connors probably like, but I think that he knows who Lindsay Graham is, as they say, keep your friends close with your friends closer.
• 42:44
  And this is about politics.
• 42:46
  And he knows that if I want to get something done, it's gonna be a little give and take.
• 42:49
  You know, I don't like the guy, he's slimy, but I'll go and I'll play uh uh uh golf with him so that I can again keep him close to see what he's thinking and what he's doing.
• 43:01
  I don't like a lot of it, don't like a lot of the players, but this is what you have to do.
• 43:04
  I mean, look at the racists coming up in Texas with Cornen and Paxton was wondering who is Trump going to endorse.
• 43:13
  I think he should just stay out of it completely.
• 43:16
  But he's probably looking at the poll numbers and trying to decide who's who would be best for this for this role, who will be able to beat this guy, uh, Teleriki.
• 43:25
  Now, to me, Taler Ricky should be easy, he's she's he's beatable, but you never know because you have a lot of liberals that have moved to Texas.
• 43:32
  I can attest to that because during COVID, the same liberals who were saying, stay inside, stay inside, they jump ship and move to Texas, move to Florida.
• 43:42
  My message to them was leave your your liberal politics behind, don't go there trying to change things.
• 43:49
  You know, but they're going there and they'll probably start breeding, telling other liberals, oh, you should come here and we could change this and we can do this and we can do that.
• 43:57
  I'm thinking, oh my gosh, please.
• 43:59
  So Trump is probably looking at that and trying to decide, probably doesn't like John Corning.
• 44:03
  I think John John Corner does a sleeze back.
• 44:06
  I think if he wants Trump to endorse him, he should come out and say, Look, I know that I've done some things in the past that were rather you know questionable, but I am all in mega.
• 44:15
  I'm going to support Trump, I'm gonna support Trump's agenda.
• 44:19
  Pakistan has already said that if he were to come out and say he supports the savebacks, that he would drop out.
• 44:25
  And I think that's huge for Paxton.
• 44:27
  It does seem to me that Paxton wants to come in because he sees that Trump needs allies on the hill who will support his agenda.
• 44:37
  Because there are a lot of folks that are there now that they're half-assed.
• 44:40
  Sometimes they will, sometimes they won't.
• 44:42
  Look at Ron.
• 44:43
  Is it Rand Paul or Ryan Ron Paul?
• 44:45
  Which one is it?
• 44:46
  One of the Paul men who's saying that I'm thinking about running for the presidency.
• 44:49
  I'm thinking, oh my god.
• 44:50
  Rand is the younger one.
• 44:52
  Rand.
• 44:53
  Like he wants to run for the president.
• 44:54
  No, and I like him, but it seems as if though he's always in opposition when it really counts, he flips the script.
• 45:02
  Yeah.
• 45:03
  I mean, I he didn't vote for the tax cuts, I don't think.
• 45:07
  And uh neither did Thomas Massey and that soiled both of them on me.
• 45:12
  Uh, if you're not even gonna vote for the American people to be able to keep more money in their pockets, what good are you doing, Republicans?
• 45:20
  And it just it makes you wonder, are are they doing these things just to show that they can go up against Trump?
• 45:28
  Because they're principled, Rob.
• 45:30
  If they say that, don't you?
• 45:33
  Yeah, but Principal Thomas Massey's a principled conservative.
• 45:36
  It's like, what?
• 45:37
  What is the other guy?
• 45:38
  Well, being principled, you don't believe in tax cuts.
• 45:41
  Right, like what are you principled to?
• 45:43
  Just to your to to yourself to say that you can stand up to him because you're afraid that other people are gonna say that you're bowing down to Trump.
• 45:50
  And what is the other guy's name uh on the hill that uh oh man, I almost said his name.
• 45:56
  And he I don't think he's gonna run again.
• 46:00
  Oh gosh, what did we talk about him all the time?
• 46:02
  And he just recently had a run in with Trump.
• 46:05
  Is not Massey Oh gosh, I have so many names in my head, I forgot the guy's name.
• 46:10
  But anyway, he he needs to come out also.
• 46:13
  I think it's from North, is it from South Carolina?
• 46:17
  Um you know who I'm talking about.
• 46:20
  Let me see if I can Google it.
• 46:21
  What is it?
• 46:21
  I see the guy.
• 46:22
  Yeah, I don't like him at all either.
• 46:24
  He's a big rhino.
• 46:26
  He was after January 6th, he was uh big time in the camp of the Democrats.
• 46:32
  Right.
• 46:33
  So and and it's like he's only doing it just to so that he could say that he's against Trump.
• 46:38
  Is it though?
• 46:39
  I mean, I think a lot of these Republicans they don't have a position to stand on.
• 46:44
  But they feel as if though if they can prove that, hey, I can stand up against Trump and I can do this, and I that they'll make a name for themselves.
• 46:52
  And I don't like Republicans like that.
• 46:54
  It's one thing to say, hey, I don't agree with him, you know.
• 46:58
  Uh, but to create these little obstacles and to show that you can stop him and stop his agenda.
• 47:05
  I I'm not I'm not for that.
• 47:08
  And and and they shouldn't be doing that.
• 47:11
  If you want to be principal, principles is about having a position saying, Mr.
• 47:14
  President, this is the reason why I voted this way, like Matt Hawley.
• 47:19
  It is Josh Hawley.
• 47:21
  Uh they were voting for something, and he voted completely against what Trump wanted.
• 47:26
  And then he came out and he explained himself.
• 47:29
  He said, Oh, okay, I see.
• 47:30
  And then he went back, he said, No, this is the reason why I did it.
• 47:32
  He's principal.
• 47:34
  I like that.
• 47:36
  I was a tally.
• 47:37
  Uh wait, uh gosh.
• 47:40
  Tillis.
• 47:40
  Till us, yes, Tom Tillus.
• 47:42
  There you go.
• 47:43
  It was coming.
• 47:43
  Like I said, I don't like him at all.
• 47:46
  Yeah.
• 47:46
  I don't care for him because I think that he's not principal.
• 47:50
  He's only trying to show Democrats, mainly.
• 47:53
  You see, I can stand up to Trump.
• 47:55
  You don't have to agree with everything that Trump says.
• 47:57
  You don't have to agree with everything that he does.
• 48:00
  But you're in a position to support this president and not support Democrats.
• 48:05
  That's what I don't like.
• 48:07
  Okay, case in point, you're saying that you don't like the fact that we went into uh Iran.
• 48:14
  Okay, but you're not saying, and because they did that, the Democrat, the Republicans should do something else.
• 48:19
  They shouldn't, they should try to vote his powers down.
• 48:21
  You're not saying that.
• 48:22
  Okay.
• 48:23
  You're not saying that when the Republicans and the Democrats want to put forth this bill, we're gonna try to limit his powers.
• 48:28
  You weren't saying, oh, I'm gonna jump on board with it.
• 48:30
  You just said that I don't like that we went there.
• 48:32
  But then you have someone like Tom Tillis who'll say, Well, I don't like it, and I'm gonna vote to you know to stop his powers, you know, and I'm gonna vote to keep going with the Epstein files.
• 48:42
  It's like, dude, come on.
• 48:45
  It's like whose side are you on?
• 48:49
  Yeah, and it's like these radical judges that we see that more authority than the president of the United States in some cases.
• 48:56
  I mean, it's crazy.
• 48:57
  Well, and see, and that's something else.
• 49:00
  What the hell are Republicans doing?
• 49:03
  They're in Texas.
• 49:04
  I think there's like 50 district judges positions that need to be filled.
• 49:08
  They haven't filled.
• 49:09
  Across the country, you have judgeships that have not been filled.
• 49:12
  If we don't take the House and the Senate in November, Democrats are gonna come in, and it will never be filled.
• 49:21
  Every time we turn around, we have a Democrat judge who's trying to stop Trump.
• 49:25
  Look at the latest judge who's trying to stop JFK.
• 49:30
  And what he said on vaccines.
• 49:33
  This judge, go ahead.
• 49:35
  RFK.
• 49:36
  I'm JFK, RK.
• 49:38
  I'm getting passionate about this.
• 49:40
  This judge has no grounds for this.
• 49:44
  There's no foundation, he has no jurisprudence over it, but he knows, oh, I can do it, I can stop it for a while.
• 49:50
  And the same judge has been kicked out and stopped by the Supreme Court, and they've told him you don't have authority.
• 49:59
  But
• 50:00
  He's doing it because he can.
• 50:01
  He knows they're going to kick it out again.
• 50:04
  Why is this constantly happening?
• 50:06
  Look at Borisburg.
• 50:07
  He is a pain in Trump's side.
• 50:10
  Remember, uh, he's the one who went to John Roberts and told John Roberts, oh, you know, we need to stop Trump.
• 50:16
  Are you in on it?
• 50:16
  And John Roberts, he said you didn't want to comment.
• 50:18
  You just like listen to it.
• 50:20
  But John Roberts also, he's he's feckless.
• 50:23
  He's coming out, gave a comment somewhere in Houston, Texas that you know the attacks on the judges, it has to stop.
• 50:29
  Well, where was he in calling out Biden Department of Justice when they had protests outside of Supreme Court Justice's homes, which is illegal.
• 50:40
  It should not happen.
• 50:41
  Merrick Garland did absolutely nothing.
• 50:43
  John Roberts didn't call it out.
• 50:44
  Where's John Roberts with finding out who disclosed the Dobbs decision?
• 50:49
  Where is he?
• 50:51
  But he can find time to come out and try to semi tick a pot shot at Trump.
• 50:56
  He should resign.
• 51:00
  He has made the court political.
• 51:02
  He can't make a decision without being afraid that they might come outside my home and protest.
• 51:07
  When they came outside Alito and Clarence Thomas, they stood at their grounds.
• 51:12
  They said, We don't care what you do, we're going to still vote according to the Constitution.
• 51:15
  But then you'd have other judges who are afraid.
• 51:19
  See, this is what I don't lie.
• 51:21
  That's not being a conservative.
• 51:23
  It's not even being midway, Andrew.
• 51:26
  It's being a complete rhino.
• 51:27
  It's being a feckless, scary person.
• 51:30
  No, I get it.
• 51:32
  I get it.
• 51:33
  Because we know that Democrats are ruthless.
• 51:38
  We know that Democrats, Andrew, will come after you.
• 51:42
  And they will kill you.
• 51:43
  Look at Charlie Kirk.
• 51:45
  They tried to kill Trump twice.
• 51:48
  Look at all the other attacks that are taking place.
• 51:50
  Look at the ICEA.
• 51:52
  Look at them acting out, and these judges are looking the other way.
• 51:55
  Look at how they're letting these illegals back out on the streets once they have harmed someone, once they have raped someone, once they have killed, they give them light sentences.
• 52:03
  Then they put them in jail.
• 52:04
  And when they let them go, they will not contact ICE and say, we're letting them go.
• 52:07
  You can get them now.
• 52:08
  They won't do it.
• 52:09
  But if I want to commit a crime, they find out I'm a conservative, they will throw the book at me and leave me in jail indefinitely.
• 52:16
  Look at what they did to the Gen 6 folks.
• 52:18
  I don't care what your position is, so whether or not you thought they did if they were wrong or right, but the fact that they were denying them access to counsel was wrong.
• 52:28
  Completely wrong.
• 52:31
  And no one is saying barely saying anything about it.
• 52:35
  And I'm including Republicans on this also.
• 52:44
  Nothing.
• 52:45
  We just moved right along.
• 52:47
  Let's move on to the next uh topic.
• 52:49
  Let's move on to the next incident.
• 52:50
  Let's move on to something different.
• 52:52
  But these are things that people have to be held accountable for.
• 52:57
  But they're not.
• 52:58
  And for that, I don't like it.
• 53:00
  Because I want all of this addressed.
• 53:03
  Look at look at what's her name, Ilian Omar.
• 53:06
  Nancy Mace put forth the bill to investigate her papers for coming to America.
• 53:14
  Then you have Republicans to block it.
• 53:16
  Why?
• 53:17
  Well, because they might do it to us.
• 53:18
  What do you mean by they might do it to you?
• 53:20
  They're going to do it to you.
• 53:22
  They don't care.
• 53:23
  So why are you trying to give them some type of leverage and think, oh, we want to play?
• 53:26
  No, we don't want to play nights with her.
• 53:28
  She should not be there.
• 53:29
  I don't trust her.
• 53:30
  I think she's a threat to democracy.
• 53:31
  I think she's a Trojan horse.
• 53:33
  I think she could be selling information to Somalia.
• 53:35
  Now, Somalia can't do anything to us.
• 53:36
  We could bomb them just like we did Iran.
• 53:39
  But if you have a Democrat, you'll get what happened with Bill Clinton.
• 53:42
  They put us to shame.
• 53:43
  Mogadishu in Somalia.
• 53:44
  Put us to shame.
• 53:45
  Knock down our black hawk black hawk down.
• 53:47
  Look at the movie, and then they were laughing at us.
• 53:50
  We can't go back to that.
• 53:52
  We cannot go back to that, Andrew, because that was embarrassing.
• 53:56
  But where are we with investigating her?
• 53:58
  And even when she claimed she was at a speech and someone tried to accost her, that she's gonna walk back like she's ready to fight.
• 54:05
  Why haven't we looked into that?
• 54:06
  Why has it we why haven't we heard any more about it?
• 54:10
  Republicans, come on.
• 54:13
  You gotta wake up.
• 54:14
  But instead, you guys would focus on the Epstein files.
• 54:17
  Oh, we want that.
• 54:18
  Oh, andrew, I'll say this, and you might know we gotta go.
• 54:20
  You heard that Pam Bonde has been subpoenaed to testify, or not subpoenaed, but invited to testify before the House by James Comer as to her handling of the Epstein files.
• 54:32
  Now let's see how much uh uh what is it, how much of a Ron they're gonna get out of that.
• 54:38
  We'll we will be talking about that from here to eternity because that's their favorite topic.
• 54:42
  Meanwhile, we know that Democrats have been the ones indicted on Jeffrey, not really indicted, but called out on Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew.
• 54:50
  Yeah, you're right.
• 54:52
  Uh the main thing is President Trump and the Republicans need to figure out a way to get the coalition from the 2024 election back together.
• 55:06
  Um, the independents, uh, the libertarians.
• 55:11
  All the people that have joined in, because uh we need all their votes.
• 55:15
  The Republicans do to uh retain power in 2026.
• 55:22
  So uh it's gonna be a real challenge trying to bring this coalition uh back together.
• 55:29
  Um I think uh a lot of people are happy with some things President Trump has done.
• 55:36
  Uh a lot of people are very happy with everything President Trump has done.
• 55:41
  But you know, some people are split.
• 55:43
  Maybe they still prefer President Trump, but they're not gonna be motivated uh to go out and vote.
• 55:49
  We need to get those people motivated to go out and vote uh in the 2026 election.
• 55:54
  So uh it'd be interesting to see what happens from now until then uh to try and make that happen and to bring this coalition back together.
• 56:04
  Uh personally, I'm always a guy that likes radical changes, so I think maybe President Trump, if he just kind of cleaned house and you know, changed up his staff quite a bit.
• 56:17
  Maybe that would make some of the detractors happy.
• 56:20
  Like he could say, look, these people weren't getting the job done that they were supposed to.
• 56:26
  And maybe his supporters will be happy about that too.
• 56:30
  Because they could say, well, President Trump's gonna pick the best people for the job.
• 56:35
  And um, so if he's not happy with their job, why would you know he knows best to what kind of job they're doing?
• 56:43
  So, yeah, maybe uh some staff switch ups or something like that to uh and affect some big changes uh before the uh 2026 midterms.
• 56:55
  Thank you guys so much for joining us once again on After Dark with Rob and Andrew on America Out Loud's iHeart Radio channel.
• 57:04
  We'll see you guys next time.
• 57:06
  And remember, stand for something for your fall for that.
