• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of course I'll listener to the Hilldale dialogues, all of

• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I'm pleased to welcome back Vice President jd. Vance to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the program to talk about his brand new book, Communion.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Mister Vice President, Welcome back and congratulations on your book.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: You a memoir about crossing the Tiber. I found it
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: very winsome, very revealing. I found it very frustrating that
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on your book tour no one talked to you about it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Did you Were you surprised by that? They talked about
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: everything but Communions.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing anybody bought the book, Hugh, because I
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: was talking about, of course, the Iran situation. I was
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: talking about economic issues. I think it kind of comes
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: with the territory though, Hugh. When you're the vice president,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: you're out there talking about a book, people are going
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: to ask you about the news today and whatever else.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Is going on. So I appreciated it. It certainly was. You know,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: for me, what I wanted to do was just write
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: a book about obviously my own faith journey, but try
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: to write something that was not kind of a traditional
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: political book. Right, it's not. Here are ten problems in America,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and here are thirty policy proposals for how to fix
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: it. It's very honest. It's some I think in some ways
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: it's very self critical. But I think any honest account
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: of how a person finds their way to Christ is
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: going to be exactly that, and hopefully some people pick
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it up and find some meaning in it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure that at least the Catholics
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: who are listening today are those who are Catholic adjacent.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Get out there and read it, or they can get
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the audiobook. I got both. You did a very fine
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: job reading it. I want to start though, with Father
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Harry Steven or Stephan. How do you pronounce his name?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Henry Stephan?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: All right, Father Stephan is exactly the sort of priest
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: every Catholic curious person would be blessed to run into.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Please tell the audience about it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll tell you. Worry about Henry's stephan Father Henry,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: as I call him so very early in my own
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: faith journey. He is the priest who baptized me, but
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I don't believe I had been baptized at this point.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I met him at a Cincinnati waffle restaurant and he
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: walks in. It is October the thirty first, and he's
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: a Dominican friar, so he always wears this sort of
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: gigantic white frock. And I say gigantic because Father Henry's
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: probably six', five two. Fifty he's a very big. Dude
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and he walks in the entire restaurant stops and stares at,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: him And Father, henry without skipping a, beat, says don't worry,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: everybody it's not A halloween. COSTUME i actually do believe In.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Jesus and everybody laughs that he sits. Down he's just
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: this amazingly, gregarious funny but just a good human, being
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a good. Priest he cares a lot about the, faith
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: but he's also very. Thoughtful he's a brilliant guy who
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: went To, princeton who just he feels, it but he
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: also thinks about. It AND i think he was the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: exact kind of person THAT i need to be connected
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: to in order to find my own way back To,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: christ because you, KNOW i had a lot of. QUESTIONS
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: i had a lot of you, KNOW i was very
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: interested in the intellectual tradition of The catholic, faith BUT
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: i also needed somebody who could steer me in my
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: own practice of. It And Father henry did all of those.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Things he's a, great great guy.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: There i'm going to come back to him in a,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: second BUT i want to lay the. Groundwork you're a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Young life, kid which is a reveal to. Me i'm
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a big fan Of Young life for high school. Kids
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it's better THAN i have not drinking beer and chasing
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the other. Sex but did you go To Young life?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Camp do you remember the name of your area director
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: or anything like.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: That, NOW i never went to the, camp BUT i
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: always went to the high school, meetings and it look
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it was very very good for me to your, point
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: kept me out of some other trouble That i'm SURE
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: i would have gotten involved in as a. Teenager and you,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: know it's one of these ways in WHICH i did
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: have a foundation in faith that eventually came back to
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: me in a big. Way AS i talk about in the,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: BOOK i kind of fell away from, it, RIGHT i
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: called myself an atheist for a. Time but WHEN i
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: look back at my own journey coming back to the,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: FAITH i don't think THAT i would have had quite
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the same trajectory if it hadn't been for that original.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Foundation so even though it didn't take you, know sometimes
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: these seeds get planted and they lay dormant for a.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: While but for those of you who.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Don't know About Young, LIFE i, mean you, know you show,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: up you read The, bible you do some, singing and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it's just a really good way for high schoolers to
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: engage with their faith at their, level BECAUSE i, think
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: as everybody, knows you, know the way of sixty five
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: year old engages with The Christian, faith it's going to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: be different from the way of forty five year old
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and certainly different from the way of fifteen year old
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: engages with the.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Faith and it's a great entry level and it does
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: lay seeds so good on Young. LIFE i want to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: go back to Bother stephan now because if anyone picks
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: up the book in the, BOOKSTORE i go to page
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: one sixty. Three it's a very concise statement of how
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: one comes to religious. Belief, quote you don't Fail god's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: presence and. Change in an, instance The father told you
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: there's a roadmap To, god and you've got to, travel
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: because for most of, us grace is not something that
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: happens in a. MOMENT i thought that is exactly by the,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Way Billy graham wasn't An aha moment lightning striking. Either
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Father stefan seemed to lay out the gradual, path the path.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Upward, yeah that's exactly, Right, hugh and that that gradual
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: path really spoke to, me because you know you're you're exactly.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: RIGHT i think some people probably Misrepresent Billy graham as
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: kind of An aha moment and all of a sudden
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: everything is. BETTER i think that's unfair To Billy. Graham
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: but certainly in my own, FAITH i kind of had
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: this idea that you, know you, prayed you Accepted jesus
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: in your, heart and then everything was supposed to be
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: better in your life and everything was supposed to be.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Easy AND i found that unsatisfying in my, youth and
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: that's one of the reasons WHY i fell away from that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Faith And Father henry explained grace as sort of a,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: process as sort of this process of, perfection AND i
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: don't say self, perfection because the idea is that you
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Need god's help along the, way And he's constantly working
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: in these subtle. Ways but you also you have to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: work at. It and there's there's a way in which
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the practice of the faith informs you in the right.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Way there's a way in, which you, know participating in
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the sacraments and praying and actually going to confession and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: doing all these things they slowly have this miraculous effect
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: on a. Person but for, me you, know WHEN i
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: was nineteen years, old to, YOU i would think of
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a miracle as sort of you, Know god waves the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: magic wand and everything's different in some. WAYS i think
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: What Father henry was able to show to me is
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: that true miracles sometimes are no less amazing and no
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: less physics, defying but sometimes they take a little bit of.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Time and that way in which grace works patiently was
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a very important insight for me because it fit how
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the world actually. Worked it spoke to me in a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: way that the aha moment idea of theology never.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: DID i want the audience to. Know in the course
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of Reading, commune you'll run Into Saint Augustine chesterton of
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: COURSE a S, Lewis Rene, Girard Pope leo the. Thirteenth
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you rossed out that And rod dreher in. There BUT
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: i got to tell, YOU i went out and got
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: The symposium On theology And falsification that you referenced By
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: anthony Flu hair And Basil. Mitchell that that's not for,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: me Mister pikes, brat that's way about my.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Bag, Ray did you actually get through?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: THAT i, did though the part THAT i talk about
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: in the book is very, short so SO i think
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's a relatively short series of essays and
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: back and forth that was very important to. Me but
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: but you know, what what WHAT i write about in
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the book IS i encountered these essays as a you, know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: college you, know philosophy, kid and there was this sort
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: of debate and AND i kind of at the time
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: thought the atheist had won the. Debate but there was
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a response From Basil mitchell THAT i actually thought was
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: very very, compelling AND i kept on returning to. It
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and the basic idea, Here i'm not going to do it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Justice SO i hope you and your listener listeners will forgive.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Me but is this this idea that when you see
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: something that doesn't comport with what you Think god should be,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: doing or you see something you see something that makes you, think,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: well Maybe god doesn't actually care about. Me the debate, is,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: really does that mean That god is real or does
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: that mean That god is? False and What Basil mitchell
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: says is, no, no, no, no you guys are kind of
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: missing the. Point, absolutely when you see something happen that
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: goes against divine, providence or when you see bad things
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to happen to good, people that absolutely does count against
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the idea That god loves human, beings but it doesn't count.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Definitively in other, words it is something that should cause some,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: skepticism it is something that should cause some, humility but
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: it's not something that should lead you to disregard your
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: faith because the, ultimate you, know one of the ultimate
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: truths of The christian faith is That god knows. Best
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: now it requires again some humility to believe in, that
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: it requires some patience to accept. It BUT i just
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: this idea that you could see something that really did
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: make you question your, faith but didn't make you discard.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: It the idea that it was okay to question and have,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: doubts even be angry At. God that was a very
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: powerful thing for.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Me, well it is.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: POWERFUL i left The Roman Catholic church for a dozen.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: YEARS i got brought back in By Archbishop charles shapewho
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: listened to my radio show and, thought, no you got
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: this all, wrong because the bishops went nuts in the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Eighties Vice President. Vans they would send The Reagan White
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: house letters on nuclear weapons and. Poverty they were just.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Nuts they went over the left cliff AND i just
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: couldn't take it. Anymore and the archbishop, explained and THEREFORE
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: i was armored up against the pre, scandal, which by the,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: WAY i want the honest you deal with the pre,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: scandal the abuse, scandal and in a very forthright. WAY
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: a lot Of catholics dodged, that And i'm very glad
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that you. Didn't the book would lack authenticity if you.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Had do people still question you about that that they
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: still have because it still lingers in the.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Culture, well, YEAH i think it's one of those things
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: that's always going to linger Over catholic culture because it
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: was such a wounding thing for so Many, catholics that
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: hurt so many people so, deeply and even those of,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: course key who weren't caught up in it, directly they
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: were still offended by. It they were still asking, questions
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: how could the church let this? Happen and for, Me,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: HUGH i write about this in the book that one
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: of the things that happened is there was a Big
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Pennsylvania catholic abuse sort of reports that had come out
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: right at the point WHERE i was talking With Father
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: henry about becoming baptized and becoming received into The Catholic.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Church and you, know my Wife, usha who is you,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Know hugh is this brilliant. Lawyer there was a point
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: where we're sitting at home late one night and she
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: just absolutely Interrogates Father henry about this because she's, like
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: If jad does, this then he's going to want to
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: raise the kids in the. Church and we had you
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: at the, time two little, boys and obviously loved them
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: very much and didn't want anything like this to happen to.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Them And Father henry later would describe it as the
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: most difficult set of questions he's ever faced his entire.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Life but again his point was if you read The,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: bible like if you read the foundational text of The christian,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: faith it tells you That god works through humans who
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: are deeply, imperfect who are murderers and liars and all
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: manner of bad, things and it's kind of one of
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: these very unique but also you, know requires some humility
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: to believe in That god works through imperfect. People and
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: so the argument is not that The church is. Perfect
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the argument is not that the church always succeeds in
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: its effort to help people and to serve. People the, argument,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: though is that this, institution in its very imperfect, way
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: does reveal something About Jesus christ and his love for.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: People and you have to be able to accept the
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: good and the bad and the same way that you
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: have to be able to read The bible and, say,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Well King david was this terrible, guy and yet he
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: was the chosen person to kind of Implement god's kingdom
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: at that time in. History and that is an interesting, Place.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Hugh i've always been fascinated by, this by just the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: philosophy of. It That god doesn't sort of, say, Oh
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: i'm going to come in and make everybody, perfect and
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: everybody who serves me is going to be. Perfect he
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: makes a much different claim about human, beings that he
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: is the one True, god that his grace can transform,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: people but that he's going to work through these incredibly
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: imperfect people who constantly fail to follow. HIM i think
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: for a lot of people they say that's, Absurd but for,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: ME i, say that actually fits with the human nature
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: As i've encountered.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: It, now if it's, persuasive if you adopt an intellectual
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: approach To catholicism or To christianity in the, beginning and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: work through the various writers that you, do you'll get.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: There BEFORE i go back to, THAT i want to
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: ask you about your level of. PRACTICE i know you've been,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: baptized you've had your first, communion you've had your first.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Confession did you get, confirmed Mister Vice?
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: President, well it's a good, Question. HUGH i, MEAN i
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: believe that that happened as part of getting, baptized BECAUSE
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: i had never been baptized, before and SO i actually
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: didn't do a first confession because as you, know you,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: know when you do the, baptism if you've never been baptized,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: before that kind of washes away all those, sins and
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: so the first CONFESSION i did was probably, ever you,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: know four or, five six weeks after, that so you,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: KNOW i basically just Followed Father henry's lead and did
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the things that he said THAT i needed to. Do
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: and you, KNOW i what we do is we go
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to church every every. Week sometimes travel or the duties
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the vice president make that, harder but we still try
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: to make it. Work and you, KNOW i try to
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: go to confession every four, weeks every six, weeks AND
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: i try to just follow The sacramental life as much
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: AS i. Can AND i found that it has become
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: easier over. Time and it's actually one of these things
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: where you get better at it the more you practice at.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: It, oh the most winsent part of the book is
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: getting your three now four babies ready to go to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: church or smalls because they rig, all they, yell they,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: pinch they. PUNCH i was one of those. Families my
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: mom somehow managed to get through my dad's The, presbyterians
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: who didn't often go to church with. Us he was
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: at his own. Church BUT i thought that was The
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Every catholic family is going to recognize that. Story so well.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: DONE i was, wondering, though if you had a confirmation
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: name and you obviously don't recall it or you would
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: know you were.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Confirmed, well, yeah so my confirmation name Is. Augustine SO i,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: GUESS i, GUESS i GUESS i was. Confirmed but oh,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: yeah it's funny that that exact word just never came
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: up in the process Where Father henry, said or we're,

• 15:24
  Speaker 2: days during During All, saints During All Saints', day and
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: OBVIOUSLY i do the prayers for the, dead and that
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: includes the prayers for a lot of the people That
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: i'm in, love but also just general prayers for the.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: DEAD i try To you, know What Father henry has told, Me,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: hugh is that you try to treat the church as
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: a witness and you try to follow as much as.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Possible AND i don't want to say That i'm perfect about,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: it Because i've, found for, example you, know there are
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: certain days of, Obligation, hugh WHERE i will find out
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: afterwards that it was a day of. OBLIGATION i didn't even.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Know it didn't even.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Try it doesn't count as a. Sentence he didn't. Know,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: yeah it doesn't.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Count, well that's, good that's good to. Know BUT i
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: still try to go to confession and try to be
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: responsive to. It and you, KNOW i just my attitude towards, It,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: hugh is you try to follow the lead of the
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: faith as much as, possible recognizing you're going to be
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: imperfect about. It there are a lot of THINGS i
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: will Say hugh as a sort of evangelical convert To.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Catholicism there's certain things about it THAT i, find you,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: know culturally. DISTINCT i mean even confession, right the idea
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: that earlier on and talk to a stranger about every
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: bad thing that you've done over the last four or six.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: WEEKS i find that a little. Unusual BUT i just
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: try to follow the. Rules AND i find that the
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: more THAT i follow the, rules the BETTER i get
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: at following those, rules and the MORE i start to
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: realize that there's a real purpose to.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: It now you are now used to Be President biden
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and before That Nancy. Pelosi you're now the highest ranking
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Secular catholic In, america and with that comes a certain
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: obligation to conduct yourself as Every catholic would wish you
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: would conduct. Yourself have you felt that pressure.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: All the, time all the? Time AND i fail all
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the time to? YOU i, mean, look it's you, know
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: you have debates with people and you try to be the.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: CHARITABLE i certainly fail to be. Charitable and you try
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: to make the best version of an argument as, possible
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: and you, know you try to conduct yourself in public
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: life with maximal patience and. HUMILITY i think you try
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: to do the best you, can and you recognize that
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: you fail from time to, time and when you try to,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: fail you try to do. Better AND i write about
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: this in the Book You. Know there was the famous
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Cat lady comment that you, KNOW i got the. CAMPAIGN
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: i got myself in trouble during the twenty twenty four,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: campaign AND i sort of realized that there were two problems.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: There Number, ONE i just pissed a lot of people,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: off so they weren't sort of really able to hear
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the message THAT i was trying to, make and that
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: to me was maybe the most important. Thing IS i
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: was trying to make an argument that was very, real
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: which is That, AMERICA i, think in the last twenty thirty,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: years has become more hostile and our leadership has become
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: more blind to the plight of young. FAMILIES i think
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: that's why THE covid thing was such a, disaster is
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: you had a lot of people in positions of leadership
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: who they weren't asking themselves questions like what happens when
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: we mask three year? Olds? Indefinitely what effect does this
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: have on young families when we try to force kids
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: to sit at a computer screen instead of go to the.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: CLASSROOM i JUST i felt there was an important point to.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Make and part of the era THAT i made is
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: THAT i didn't make it in the right. WAY i
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: turned people off instead of actually leading to some insight
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: in some. Wisdom so you AND.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I when you lived In virginia belonged to the same,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: parish AND i always went to the seven Am. MASS
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: i think you rolled in at nine thirty or. ELEVEN
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: i never crossed paths with you, there BUT i knew
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: it was your.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Church, also we try to do the eight.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Thirty, OKAY i was at.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Seven no, music Bad catholic music drives me, Crazy so
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: it's a silent. Mass but on in that church Is Mark.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Tison yesterday it took. It took a.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Punch At mark. ONLINE i did in the burrito.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Thing So i'm, curious do you ever regret that night
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that you took a punch at a Fellow catholic in your.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Parish you know it was a joke. YOU i think
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: that way at which you're you're, allowed you're allowed to
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: you're allowed to punch, back and you're allowed to be
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Humorous i'm sure it was not as
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: chteritable AS i should have. Been but you know what
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: what they. Is, Look i'm sure that he's a Good.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: CATHOLIC i certainly wish him the. BEST i think he's
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: been a little bit unfair to me over the last
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: couple of, weeks and SO i decided to hit back
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: with a little bit of. SPICE i will say that
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: if if, you if you read The, gospel you Know
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: jesus has remarkable. Humility he also has a remarkable way with,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: words and So i'm always going to fall short of that.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Example BUT i don't think that there's anything wrong with
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: being a little spicy from time to. Time and you,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: know maybe in two years you'll all look back and,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: SAY i WISH i hadn't said, That but right NOW
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: i feel pretty good about.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: That, Okay, okay.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: That's not going to be in that. CONFESSION i want
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to cover two big. Things one of the best lines
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: in the, book one of the jobs of The christian,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Statesman you're, right is to preserve the social cohesion that
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: makes charity and generosity. Possible that is an ideal that's
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: pretty hard to. Reach charity and generosity is something that
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: should be expected of each. Person how do you try
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and do that.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: WELL i think one of the Things hugh is is
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: you have to have an immigration policy that promotes social.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Cohesion you, know when you send your kid to, school
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: you want them to share the same language with the
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: people that are in that. Classroom you want them to
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: have something in common with the people that are in that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Classroom AND i do think that's possible with the tradition
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: of immigration like The United states Of america. Has but
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: one of the Criticisms i've had of some of the
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: church leadership that's attacked our immigration. Policy and Again i'm
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: not saying that we're always, perfect but the simple reality
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: is that when you have too many immigrants who come
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: in too, quickly with no proper procedure and no proper,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: vetting it actually does erode social. Trust it erodes the
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: very foundation of cohesion that allows us to be generous
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: to the poor and to ensure that you, know poor
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: kids In america don't go hungry and don't lack you,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: know medical. Treatment those are important and good, things but
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: those things exist on a foundation of social trust that
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: sky high immigration actually. Erodes and So i've actually made
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: this point in some of my conversations with The catholic
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: leadership who criticized their immigration. POLICIES i, said, guys, look you,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Know i'm all for being, charitable And i'm all for you,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: know you guys have a moral, witness And i'm not
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: going to tell you shouldn't exercise that moral. Witness but
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: you've got to recognize that our immigration policy is geared
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: not just towards law and, order but towards ensuring That
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: america has a functioning social. Feats you can't do that
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: with too much and too rapid demographic.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: CHANGE i thought it.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Was well argued in the, book AND i encourage people
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to read. That here's the most delicate AND i want
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to make SURE i put this the right. Way Ariel
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: whitman will be on Later today's An israeli blogger and
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: podcaster That i've been on his. PROGRAM i have a
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: lot Of israelis on the. Show Haveviv Ready gore and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Meet segahal and The Dave yea BECAUSE i want to
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: figure out what they. Think there is a recurring. Thing
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: they are afraid that, you YOU Jd vans are Anti
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: israel or Anti, semitic AND i tell, them, no, no, no.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: No i've talked to the vice president since he ran
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: for The. Senate you are getting that. Wrong part of
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that is The Catholic church's. Tradition you. Know John paul
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: in two thousand went To jerusalem to make a. Tonement
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: benedict wrote a book in twenty eleven, saying we are
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: sorry because we caused the. Pogrims we've got a special
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: obligation of The. Jews BUT i tell them that's not
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: The vice. President are you frustrated by? That have you
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: heard that suspicion that you're Anti, israel Anti, jewish Anti,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: semitic and what do you do about?
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: It?
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah i've certainly heard that, Criticism. HUGH i, MEAN i
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: obviously think that it's. Unfair DO i AM i frustrated by?
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: IT i mean, NO i think people are entitled to their,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: opinion AND i just have to do as good of
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: a job AS i, can recognizing my. IMPERFECTIONS i have
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: to do as good of a job AS i can
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: and actually articulating WHAT i think and WHAT i. Believe
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: and you, know my, Argument hugh On israel is, one
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: it's a great. COUNTRY i love the. COUNTRY i love
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of the people in. It some very very
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: dear friends who are. THERE i also recognize that there
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: are times when a Given israeli government is going to
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: have interests that are different from The United states Of.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: America AND i think That, hugh a lot of young,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: people in particular Young, republicans but young people everywhere are
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: looking at THE Us israel relationship and it's, really as you, Know,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: hugh built on a foundation of seventy eighty years of
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: common values and common. Interests BUT i also think that
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: sometimes when people defend The United States israel, relationship it's
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: very easy to get trapped in slogans and you're the same,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: phrases and those phrases lose their. Meaning and so What
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: i've tried to do is, say when we have shared
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: interest with The, israelis they're a great partner and we're
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: going to work. Together and when we don't have shared
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: interests with The, israelis we're going to pursue our interests,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: distinctly with no, animosity of, course in the same way
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: that we would do with The french of The, british
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: two other allies where we have a great historical tradition
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: of shared interests and shared. Values SO i really think
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: that it's important for us to articulate why we work
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: with the, country why we don't work with the. Country
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: AND i think that there are Some israelis who are
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: just so, used at least some people In israeli media
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: who are so used to politicians just taking as a
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: given That america And israel always have shared, interests WHEN
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: i think the reality is that we often have shared
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: interest but we don't. Always AND i don't think that
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: makes me Anti, semitic AND i don't think it makes
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: me anti israel JUST i think it makes me.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Honest it.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Doesn't and by the, way that is exactly the answer
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: you gave to me when you were running For SENATE
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: i don't know how many years, ago so you haven't,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: changed AND i that's WHAT i explained to My israeli.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: FRIENDS i want to close with a, suggestion Mister Vice
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: president a the end of your book about my former
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Colleague Charlie. KIRK i was not close to him the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: way you. Are But I'm i'm the next generation older than.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: You you could be my, kids So i'm not. Surprised
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: but it's a very generous thing that you wrote About
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: charlie and what he was talking to you, about SO
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: i could encourage people to read. That but there are
• 25:28

• 25:49
  Speaker 1: nobody turns down an invitation to come chat with the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: with the vice president about the.

• 26:37
  Speaker 6: count my chickens before they.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: Hatch.
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: Here that the the the Primaries, tuesday and we've been
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: doing everything we can to finish strong through the, tape
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: and that's what we're going to keep. Doing but at this,
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: Point poland looks. Good but you, know Sometimes poland can fool.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: You, okay let's look ahead for a.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Moment if you are the, nominee how are you gonna
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Beatte peggy? Flanagain because she's as radical as Elsiad but
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: people don't know.
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: That we've got to point that out to, everybody and
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: actually some people do know. It, look she's the sitting lieutenant.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: Governor she's been at the right hand Of Tim walls
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: for these last eight, years and she's proven to be
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: maybe even more radical than he, is but at least
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: so at least as. Much so it's going to be
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: our job to really point out what that would mean
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: for this state if she were to represent us in The,
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: Senate so that's our. Job i've already talked To democrats
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: who are willing to come over if she is the.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: Nominee SO i think we have a really good message
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: and a great contrast to.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Sell how does it work with the fraud?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Investigation Do minnesotans like to talk about that or are
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: they embarrassed by the fact that their state was hoodwinked
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: out of billions of?
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: Dollars depends what's side of the aisle there.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: On you, know you've Got Keith ellison And Tim walls
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: refusing to talk about it at. All even these Two
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: democrat candidates FOR Us senate don't talk about the. Fraud
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: they don't acknowledge, it they don't address, it they don't
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: ask for corrections or repercussions or. Accountability so that is a.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: Shame i'm willing to talk about it all day long
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: because it really propelled me to want to run for this.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Office, so, look it is.

• 30:25
  Speaker 6: talk about this fraud last, year at the end of the,
• 30:27

  Speaker 8: my time As speaker of The, house to end some
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: of the policies That democrats have put in place that
• 33:28

  Speaker 8: benefits For. Minnesotans AND i do believe that we need
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: to look at some changes with our federal immigration. Laws
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: but offering amnesty such As Mike, lindell one of the
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: Other republicans actually running for, governor an amnesty plan that

• 34:59
  Speaker 8: An office Of Inspectors. GENERAL i was able to put
• 35:02

• 43:50
  Speaker 5: goes all along the, beach and it added five, counties
• 43:54

• 48:30
  Speaker 5: with the, issues of, course national, security global, issues but
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: very comfortable with issues in the district and pointing out
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: the facts that this district needs. Help it needs a
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: lot of. Work it needs somebody who's got some, energy
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: some understanding of, economics and is ready to bring businesses
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: down here and bring.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: JOBS i also assume you know how to work With.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Congress if you were acting assistant secretary AT DoD you
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: know how that, works so you could be on the
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: other side and just on the first day know what
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: you wanted to.
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: Do Right and, no, ABSOLUTELY i MEAN i was privileged
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: to work as Assistant secretary of De men's For cyber
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: working on getting some major budgets passed for for, cybersecurity
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: for offensive, cyber for the military and other, organizations SO
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: i know how to do. THAT i feel comfortable doing.
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: That that's SOMETHING i want to lean, into is that
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: experience THAT i had to help this.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: District and so last question about, affordability which is the
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: million dollar word in this campaign. Cycle are they feeling
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: it In North carolina one or does that somehow escape
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: the angel of eye prices swooping over?
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: It you, KNOW i think everybody's feeling it to a.
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: Degree but you look at What President's trump has. Done
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: the economy is actually doing better THAN i think the
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: naysayers want to have it. Do gas prices are going,
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: down of, course they're fluctuating based On. Iran nobody talks
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: about egg prices anymore because they've gotten so much. Lower so,
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: YEAH i think affordability continues to be an. Issue as
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: a national security, PERSON i have to lean into the
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: fact that war With, iran or this ongoing tussle With,
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: iran whatever we want to call, it is definitely worth
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: it for keeping the keeping nuclear weapons out of the
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: hands of people who are just so. Unstable SO i
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: think we're doing all, Right dana, here we can do,
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: better all.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Right so last, question, Website let's make sure people know

• 53:04
  Speaker 10: LINE i, Think and you, know, politicians especially for a,
• 53:08
  Speaker 10: submariners is something you need to jump into talking about
• 53:11
  Speaker 10: yourself so. Much BUT i have developed just a simple
• 53:14
  Speaker 10: matrix That i've sent out on all my social media
• 53:18
  Speaker 10: And i've, written bought some maagine the newspapers actually and
• 53:21
  Speaker 10: all this simply is the sixteen committees in The United
• 53:24
  Speaker 10: States senate and it compares my experience professional experience with
• 53:30
  Speaker 10: the other candidates in the.
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: Race AND i got a lot Of greens on my, side.
• 53:34
  Speaker 10: And other candidates have a lot of, Reds so green
• 53:37
  Speaker 10: demonstrates experience and with, THAT i THINK i Think minnesota's
• 53:41
  Speaker 10: understanding AND i will be the most effective senator Because
• 53:43
  Speaker 10: i'm enough to BE i know enough to be.
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: Dangerous in The United States, senate.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: There have been a lot of debates Between republicans And.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Democrats what did The republicans In minnesota disagree?
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: About, well you bring up.
• 53:57

• 54:04
  Speaker 10: running against her in The republican, primary and she has
• 54:07
  Speaker 10: basically run The biden basement. Campaign, Unfortunately i've never had
• 54:10
  Speaker 10: the chance to debate.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: Her but she doesn't.
• 54:13
  Speaker 10: Really have any any in depth solutions to the Problems minnesota.
• 54:17
  Speaker 10: Space she just sort of sticks with the talking. Points
• 54:20
  Speaker 10: i've developed a just a simple table with the nine
• 54:24
  Speaker 10: most common problems That i've Heard minnesota's.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Discuss with my.
• 54:28
  Speaker 10: Nine, solutions AND i do deviate from the Standard republican
• 54:32
  Speaker 10: and a lot of those. ISSUES i addressed, IMMIGRATION i
• 54:35
  Speaker 10: addressed The american, divisiveness and right at the top of,
• 54:38
  Speaker 10: course It's minnesota fraud and The minnesota struggling. Economy AND
• 54:42
  Speaker 10: i have, ideas specific solutions to help one in fraud
• 54:46
  Speaker 10: that's just straight accountability and holding people responsible And, secondly
• 54:50
  Speaker 10: to start propelling The minnesota economy. Forward we've been stagging
• 54:54
  Speaker 10: up here for a number of years Under Governor, walls
• 54:57
  Speaker 10: in twenty years of democratic.
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: Control so it's time to chart a new course From.
• 55:01
  Speaker 10: Minnesota and we're getting, it getting a lot of folks,
• 55:02
  Speaker 10: excited AND i think we're gonna do quite well In tuesday's.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Primary what do you say about the, Fraud John, MOYLER.
• 55:11
  Speaker 10: I just, one it's, unacceptable and, two it's the accountability
• 55:15
  Speaker 10: on the people on.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: Top when you're a, SUBMARINER i was on gonna be
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: THE exo of THE Uss.
• 55:19
  Speaker 10: Michigan when you're THE, xo number two in, command everything
• 55:23
  Speaker 10: that occurs on that ship and with the crew of
• 55:26

• 55:29
  Speaker 10: governor Of Penny fillin, again the number two of the,
• 55:31
  Speaker 10: state and she has yet to admit any of the
• 55:33
  Speaker 10: nine to twenty billion dollars of fraud fraud money stolen
• 55:37
  Speaker 10: From minnesota tax payers that she's.
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: Yet to admit she has any responsibility of.
• 55:41
  Speaker 10: That so the biggest thing is just holding people, accountable
• 55:44
  Speaker 10: all the way up to the leading folks in, government
• 55:47
  Speaker 10: all the way down to Every minnesota and parent who
• 55:50

• 55:52
  Speaker 10: their kid of fake autism. Diagnosis and that number is
• 55:56
  Speaker 10: in the. Thousands unfortunately up here In minnesota and right
• 55:59
  Speaker 10: now we've held a couple of people accountable by the
• 56:02
  Speaker 10: numbers of like one hundred and fifty two hundred.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: PEOPLE i, mean there's thousands. Here and it needs to
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: be a.
• 56:08
  Speaker 10: Proactive old people accountable and the punishment.
• 56:12

  Speaker 1: i'm Gonna Havel whitman. On he's the op ed editor
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: At globes In. Israel he's the host of The Western spirit.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Podcast have you come Across aral?
• 59:07
  Speaker 12: YET i definitely know who he, is BUT i have
• 59:12
  Speaker 12: not been a regular reader of his.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: Work pretty interesting. Character i'll recommend him to. You, SECONDLY
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: i had The Vice president on today And i'm going
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: to replay the interview next. HOUR i asked him about
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: the belief widespread Among israelis and Some American, jews that
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: he's Anti israel or Anti, semitic and he rejects it
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: fundamentally and. Thoroughly same answered gave me like five years. Ago,
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: No i'm very Pro. Israel it's just our interest sometimes.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: Diverge is that enough for him to make the.
• 59:42
  Speaker 12: Case, Well, LOOK i think there are two two parts
• 59:46
  Speaker 12: to the concern among a lot Of Jewish americans About
• 59:49
  Speaker 12: Vice President. Fance, LOOK i think he's Perfectly he's been
• 59:54
  Speaker 12: more critical Of israel than a lot of other leading
• 59:56
  Speaker 12: figures in the. Administration but you, know certainly compared to
• 59:58
  Speaker 12: we're a lot of, folks especially on the left ar and,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 12: POLITICS i, mean vance his views are not not. All
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 12: but you, KNOW i think it's less about his views
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 12: On israel that he that he's in his critiques in
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 12: recent months on, podcasts AND i think it's more about
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 12: his associations and his refusal to denounce folks Like Tucker
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 12: carlson on the Anti semitic far right that have raised
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 12: concerns in The jewish.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: Community so when.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 12: You have both those associations and his unwillingness to condemn
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 12: the outright Anti semitism coming from those podcast, figures uh
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 12: and and and and those associations he, has and then
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 12: you combine that, with you, know the more vocal critiques
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 12: he's offered Of israel and skepticism of some of the
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 12: military engagements uh, internally at least within within the private
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 12: conversations in The White. House that's what's raising a lot
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 12: of a lot of. CONCERNS i don't THINK i think
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 12: there's plenty of room for him to kind of make
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 12: nice and and and and and and you, know regain
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 12: confidence among a lot of Pro israel. Voters but there
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 12: are a lot of reasons beyond just his most recent
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 12: comments About israel that have raised.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Questions let's probe THAT i have been blasting, al Said
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Abdul Rahman. Il say, YOU i don't want to get
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: him mad at me from his pronouncing his. Name Abduur
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: Rahman el said The Senate Democratic radical Candidate. Michigan he
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: is like stabled at the hipto Son piker who's just
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: An islamist anti semi and.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: He goes everywhere with him and they stream.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: Together that's an association that he has to answer for
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: the vice. PRESIDENT i actually haven't seen him With Tucker
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: carlson since he became vice president of.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 12: YOU i, mean you have to go, BACK i think
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 12: to The charlie AND i think right after The Charlie kirk.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 12: ASSASSINATION i think they both. Did DID i think he
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 12: filled in on on the there was a show they did,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 12: together or he filled In but, YEAH i mean it's
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 12: been a little bit of of. Time but the big,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 12: question both internally and, publicly is THAT i think a
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 12: lot of folks would like to, see you, know someone
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 12: who has a close relationship with with With Tucker carlson
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 12: to be much more outspoken on the Anti semitism that's
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 12: come from from his end of the far.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: Right but it's that it's the assertion of a close
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: relationship THAT i don't believe is born. NOW i, MEAN
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: i don't see him on his. PODCAST i don't see
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Him palin around a close relationship is A Son piker
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: And elsayatt would you agree with? That that's a close.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Relationship oh of.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 12: COURSE i, mean, Look i'll say it And piker were
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 12: campaigned in the final day together of the of the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 12: of the, Primary so, yes and then there's a much bigger.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 12: Difference BUT i, also you, know it's pretty well documented
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 12: that That carlson was a big champion Of trump Picking
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 12: vance as his running made in the twenty twenty four
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 12: in the run up to the twenty twenty four reelection
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 12: or election. Campaign and you, know, again there there have
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 12: been it's not just that. Relationship there have been moments
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 12: on college. Campuses you've talked about This hue When vance
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 12: has spoken At Turning point, rallies and there's a real,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 12: vile noxious.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: Anti semitism that comes up with some of the.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 12: Speakers AND i think there's been a widespread concern that
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 12: The vance's pushback has not been as aggressive as it
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 12: could be from a leader in the country as the
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 12: vice president of The United.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: States, okay the transcriptors area and go over and read
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: it at h hewitt dot. Com see what his answer.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: Is let's talk about el, SAID i believe you you
• 1:03:07

  Speaker 1: DEEP i can't imagine An american jew voting FOR l.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Said can you.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 12: Look if you look at the precinct by precinct results
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 12: In jewish communities Across, MICHIGAN i, mean it looks about
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 12: seventy five to eighty percent Of jewish. VOTERS i will
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 12: probably get a more specific number when we can kind
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 12: of crunch do a little more number, crunching but it
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 12: looks like it's about a four to five to one
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 12: margin in the Most jewish areas In, detroit in The
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 12: Oakland county from For stevens over L sai ed in
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 12: The democratic. Primary SO i, mean, look it's. Good there's
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 12: gonna be a big Swing hugh in the general. Election
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 12: we reported A Jewish insider that there are a lot
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 12: of very Prominent Democratic jewish leaders that are already either
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 12: coming out for Supporting Mike, rodgers very Mainstream republican former,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 12: congressman or very close to doing. That so you're going
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 12: to be SEEING i think a lot of notable names
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 12: in The democratic, community in the moderate space in The
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 12: jewish Among jewish leaders and. Beyond there's a real alarm
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 12: about the radicalism That elsad brings to the. Table, now
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 12: look on the other, side you Have stevens And Gretchen,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 12: whitmer the, governor and a lot of the leaders of
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 12: the party endorsing L sayeed and getting to playing team. Ball,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 12: Notably Hillary, skulton one of the more Moderate democrats in the,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 12: delegation has been very outspoken and said has not said
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 12: she would Support El, saied.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: But a lot of Other democrats.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 12: Have and it's going to be a partisan mud fight
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 12: for A senate election that could very well decide who
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 12: has The senate.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: Majority Has Alissa slotkin the Other democratic, Senator Gary peters is.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Retiring Melissa slotkin Beat Mike rogers by a very narrow
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: margin in twenty twenty. Four Has Alissa slotkin put her
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: arms Around el sai.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 6: Ed.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 12: She's. ENDORSED i don't know if she's put her arms around.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 12: Him i'm not sure if she was at there was
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 12: our unity rally for the. Party i'm not sure if
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 12: she was. There BUT i do know that she quickly
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 12: endorsed him after he won the. Nomination AND i think
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 12: one thing if you talk To Hailey stephens, supporters that
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 12: they were very. Privately i've talked to a number of them.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 12: Privately very upset about is That, slockin even with the
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 12: governor's endorsement Of, Stevens slopkin.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: Stayed on the.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 12: Sideline she's a national Security democrat who's thinking maybe of
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 12: running for president as a, moderate as someone who's going
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 12: to steer the party in a more moderate, direction and
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 12: she did not have the gumption to endorse the candidate
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 12: who much more closely a Matgined and she's you, know
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 12: if you can't endorse against someone who's aligned with A
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 12: san piker and his Anti american, views and you claim
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 12: to be a nation FORMER cia, agent a national security
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 12: leader in the, party and that tells you a lot
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 12: about where The Democratic party is right. Now And hailey
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 12: steven supporters think If slockin, endorsed given how close that race,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 12: was If slockin had the courage to Endorse, stevens she
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 12: probably would have won the nomination and prevented a.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: ROUND i think you're, Right.

• 1:07:07
  Speaker 13: Conversation SO i try to upload about three episodes a,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 13: week and the idea came.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 7: OUT i THINK i told you about.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 13: IT i about five six years ago lost almost all my,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 13: eyesight and my wife was, like you have to do
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 13: something for, yourself.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 7: AND i was, like what SHOULD i? DO i, SAID
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 7: i like to talk to.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 13: People and it was right Before october. SEVENTH i started
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 13: In hebrew and THEN i did an episode In english
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 13: just because it was, interesting and suddenly tons of people started.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 7: Watching so it just you, know ballooned from.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 13: There so that's where that's how everything, happened just by.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 7: Chance and uh so would.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: You locate yourself on these rarely political spectrum for the
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: listeners who are pretty conversion with?
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 7: It SO i used to work in the The coude.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 13: In about at this point in twenty, nineteen Before, corona
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 13: there was the three. Elections remember there was like one
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 13: election and no government was, formed then two months later
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 13: another one and so during that TIME i worked in
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 13: the De coude And i've always been even BEFORE i
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 13: was working and writing in the newspapers, HERE i was
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 13: very right wing and, volunteering AND i organized an entire
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 13: group of people that became THE cud. Members our hope
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 13: was to try to get more free market oriented members
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 13: Of kannesset into higher places in the The.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 7: Coude lists of The kannesset in the past three four.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 13: Years i've been very disillusioned With, nataniello probably even, longer
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 13: but more from the fact THAT i don't think he's
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 13: being right wing, enough if that makes any. Sense SO
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 13: i would Say i'm more on the is ready. RIGHT
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 13: i also think that now the big discussion of this
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 13: election will be about the Ultra orthodox. Issue, today as we're,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 13: Speaking Gilader, dan which used to be member of the De,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 13: coude announced him Annually, edelstein which is also another the
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 13: coud are leaving THE cud and forming a new. Party
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 13: and this party explicitly in their press conference was the
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 13: reason why is that the coud is too much in
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 13: the pocket of the Ultra orthodox with both the conscription
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 13: stuff and the economic.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 7: Issues so this is going to be a big.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 13: Thing there's a bunch of parties in the middle of
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 13: the political spectrum that are trying to get in BECAUSE
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 13: i think they see in the polls about twelve seats
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 13: equivalent Of israelis who, say we don't care B, b NOT,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 13: bb we just want the Ultra orthodox to start paying
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 13: their fair share quote unquote to borrow the Leftist american.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 7: Line and so that's going to be a very.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 13: Bigtion taniao already is trying to distance himself from the
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 13: ha redeem the Ultra. Orthodox he said in The this,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 13: week he said in a closed meeting that somehow someone
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 13: released that whoever doesn't go to the army needs.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: To go to.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 13: Jail this is the exact opposite of the law that
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 13: he tried to pass three weeks, ago which said that
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 13: Ultra orthodox who don't go to the army will not
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 13: go to. Jail Supreme court put a stop to. THAT
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 13: i wonder what your opinion on that, is The Supreme,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 13: court BECAUSE i know you're more more Of alwer THAN i.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 13: Am but he basically said, no, no, no, no that was
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 13: a little one time. Thing but really in my next,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 13: government whoever it doesn't go to the army will go to.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 13: Jail and so he's already trying to distance. Himself so
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 13: this IS i, think unless The iran war restarts with
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 13: a vigor AND i don't know what's happening with, That
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 13: President trump IS i don't really understand what's. Happening but
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 13: if that doesn't, happen then the Internal israeli stuff is
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 13: what's going to decide the, election which is really, weird
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 13: AND i think we spoke about it when you were
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 13: on my, show that you would think three four years
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 13: After october, seventh not even three, years the discussion would be.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 13: Security but it turns out that All israelis pretty much
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 13: don't want a too state. Solution All israelis pretty much
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 13: are very right wing also on the settlement's, issue even
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 13: if they're not ideological like The Greater israel quote, unquote
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 13: they don't want The palestinians to have a state because
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 13: they saw what happened In gaza and they think the
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 13: settlements are a buffer to. That so pretty much there's
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 13: no not a lot of disagreements on the fundamentals of
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 13: the security.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 7: Situation So, Benny, yeah.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: Because this is a broadcast not a, PODCAST i have
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: to do it in eight minute, segment SO i want
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: to make SURE i have you back again to. Continue
• 1:11:28
