Saudi Arabia confirms third attack on major airport, Houthis claim responsibility · INSIGHT TODAY

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: As of yesterday, the score is approximately 1.2 billion barrels
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for the U.S., zero for Iran, zero. Iran now has
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: no oil on the water. They have negative cash flow.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We have cut them off. They do not have control
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: of the street. What they are doing is, every night,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: they throw up some UAVs. They are blind. They don't
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: have radar.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Iran is lashing out as the U.S. economic pressure devastates
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the regime's economy. Hello, everyone, and welcome to the second
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: hour of The Big Weekend Show. CENTCOM announced that U.S.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: forces have now disabled another cargo vessel in the Gulf
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: of Oman trying to.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Bypass the blockade.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: This comes as Saudi Arabia is reporting a third attack
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: on one of their airports. Just yesterday, the Houthis attacked
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Riyadh's international airport, killing 12 people, including an American. Another
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: strike at that same airport killed three people earlier this week.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: And now the Houthis are threatening every Saudi airport, declaring
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: them military targets. Meanwhile, oil tankers in the Strait of
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Hormuz face near daily fire as Iran tries to block exports.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: President Trump says he's holding off on new strikes against
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Iran until after the midterms.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: We'll see.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Joining us now is U.S. Army veteran and Michigan Congressman
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Tom Barrett. Congressman, it's great to have you. You know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: when we see all this happening with Saudi Arabia, we
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: had this discussion amongst ourselves yesterday. Are we going to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: be pulled in to defending Saudi Arabia? Of course, President
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Trump has a relationship with the Saudis, and we know
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: that Saudi Arabia, you know, likely wants his help. But
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: are you concerned at all that right before the midterms,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: us intervening in another way might be detrimental to the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: midterm effort or might signal to some that we're ramping
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: up again?
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Well, sure, but more than that, I think it is
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: really displacing the American responsibility in this. I mean, the
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Saudis obviously have to take care of their own interests
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: there in the Middle East, as well as the other
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Arab state partners that are there that have a whole
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: lot more at stake than folks do here in the
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: United States. We have our own national interests in mind.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: But I think when you look at the types of
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: attacks that are taking place, these are really— asymmetric warfare
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: types of engagements that are being done. You know, the
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Iranians have been, you know, significantly set back and demoralized.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: The Houthis are not a, you know, they're a terrorist
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: and kind of a splinter organization, but they're not a
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: technically a state actor that you would see. And it's
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: really going to take the Arab Gulf states to make
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: a decision about how they are going to really enforce
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: that against, whether it's the Houthis, the Iranians trying to
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: block the Straits or anything else, because their economies are
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: far much more dependent on that, even acknowledging the economic,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: you know, pain that we've seen here back home in
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the United States.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Congressman, we're going to turn now to this.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: We want peace. We are ready for ceasefire.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: We are ready to begin from any kind of steps
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: of de-escalation. We are ready for energy ceasefire, not to
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: attack energy both sides.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: And if the Russians want us.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: Not attack their diesel, their refineries, and et cetera, we
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: are asking President Trump give.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: Them signal Ukrainian President Zelensky says he's ready for a ceasefire,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: but Russia has now attacked a power plant in Ukraine
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: after President Trump announced an energy ceasefire between the two countries.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: This comes after President Trump also brokered an arrangement with Russia.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: to deliver commercial diesel fuel onto international markets, which Zelensky
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: strongly opposes. Republican Senator Tom Tillis said just today that
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: he believes this move with the diesel could be illegal
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: when you consider laws passed by Congress in 2022 and
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: one signed by the president less than a month ago
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: that bans imports of Russian oil here and sanctions countries
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: that import.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Your thoughts?
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I voted for that sanctions bill in
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Congress just a few weeks ago that really is designed
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: to clamp down on Russia and bring about a resolution
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: to the war over there in Russia and Ukraine. I mean,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: this has dragged on far too long. There are far
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: too many lives being lost. There's not a lot of
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: movement on the ground one way or the other taking
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: place today. And I think it's time we broker an
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: agreement that will finally bring this conflict to an end
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: and bring about a peaceful resolution there. I think that
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: in the near term, we ought to just hold the
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: diesel that we are able to refine here in the
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: United States, hold that in our own country and help
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: ease some of the burden that our farmers and others
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: are facing right now as diesel prices are hitting such
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: a high cost. It is affecting everything from the ability
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: to go out and harvest crops to the prices we
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: pay at the grocery store for everything we're purchasing.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I think we should hold that here.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: We certainly have to expand our refining capability and then
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: also continue to do the energy dominance through production here
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: at home.
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: Congressman, let's dive into your congressional race against, frankly, a
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: crazy Democrat. His name is William Lawrence. And frankly, he's
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: had a lot of crazy things to say.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: That's why I stand in contrast to my opponent, who
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: has repeatedly called for the defunding and abolition of police.
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: We should welcome immigrants because we are immigrants. He didn't
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: mention and failed to point out his repeated calls to
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: abolish the border altogether and to grant amnesty to every
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: single one of the 12 million illegal immigrants that entered
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: our country in the last administration.
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: Socialism on the ballot this midterm election in battleground states
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: like Michigan, the Senate, several House races up for grabs.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: Fox News power rankings has your district right now as
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: a toss-up. Now, Lawrence has been endorsed by socialists like
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Bernie Sanders, and he founded the Sunrise Movement, a climate
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: action group that's.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Pushed for the Green New Deal. I mean, this guy's radical.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: The Senate race, the governor race, up for grabs in
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: your state, your congressional seat. And the congressional seats in
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: Michigan might decide who has control of the House. What
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: are you seeing on the ground there? And just how
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: crazy do you see this guy that you're running against
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: actually being?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you for pointing that out.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, he is not your grandfather's Democrat in any
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: sense of the word whatsoever. This is someone who's pushed
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: for abolishing the police, abolishing our borders. He called the
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: nuclear family a violent way to organize society. And then
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: he went further and called for the death of Joe
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Manchin because Joe Manchin wasn't pushing hard enough to for
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: the climate change agenda that my opponent was standing for
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: these are not mainstream democratic values in anyway shape or
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: form we can't turn our country over to these people
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: the types of things that they're pushing for the advocacy
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: that they have would set our country back so far
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: the country that I spent 22 years defending in the
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: army and the values that we all stand for that
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: he is seeking to tear down.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Every moment of every day. This isn't my words.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: These are his words and his actions as an activist
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: for the last 15 years. He's now trying to disavow
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: these things that he has said. As predictable as the
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: leaves changing color here in Michigan right now, he's trying
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: to change his color and change his stripes. But this
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: is a 15-year legacy of what he has stood for,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: what he has said over and over, doubled and tripled
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: down on it. It would make our country less safe.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: It would open our borders. It would defund our law enforcement,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: and all of us would suffer as a result. This
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: could be the deciding race for control of Congress this year,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: and we need everybody's help to get out there. If
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: folks want to help get us across the finish line,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: it's TomBarrettForCongress.com. We could certainly use the help in these
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: closing weeks of this campaign because this is one of
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: the most competitive seats in the country.
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: Well, you mentioned the campaign. I think one of the
• 8:05
  Speaker 9: hottest topics right now, it might even be a sleeper
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: decision point for a lot of people, are data centers.
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: Your opponent supports a federal moratorium on data centers, while
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: you argue that local residents should have the final say.
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: I just want to ask you about this. This is
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: kind of the question I've asked everyone that's come on lately.
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: You know, it's a good talking point to say, well,
• 8:23
  Speaker 9: local government should have the final say.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: But you go line by line.
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: I go to my hometown, right? The mayor's elected by
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: about 5 percent of the people in the city. The
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: local county board is the lowest voter turnout, you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: of any election. The idea, I mean, we can go
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: back to the school boards. I mean, just think of
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: all the school boards that did not properly represent their
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: demographic when it came to, like, boys' and girls' bathrooms.
• 8:49
  Speaker 9: I think it's a little bit of a cop-out for
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: the federal government to say, well, the local government should
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: have the say, because data centers aren't just a local issue.
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: You're talking about the justification as federal national security.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: They're federally pushed right now.
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: The president's the biggest person pushing them. Usually it's foreign
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: investment companies. And you're looking at tax breaks across the board,
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: whether it be through bonds or some sort of property
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: tax easement. And so when you get into that, don't
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: you think that the federal government has a role? And
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: right now that role is either we'll let the local
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: governments figure it out or let's just ban them all together,
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: which is what the left has to say.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm definitely not in support of the federal government
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: coming in and taking control of of local residents' voices
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: on the issues of data centers or any other local decision-making. Frankly,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: we elect people at the local level to make those
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: decisions for local communities. If people don't show up and vote,
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: that is a call to action for people to exercise
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: their right to help steer their local community in the
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: direction that they want.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: The other issue that I think is very important is
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: the one.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Of prohibiting these local officials from signing nondisclosure agreements. When
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: you have people colluding with these corporations to come in
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: and build a data center before people in the community
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: even know about it because of these nondisclosure agreement, I
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: think that violates the trust that people have. or don't
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: have with their local officials right now. That's something that
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: I think we have to address. And then I have
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: a record, even before going to Congress, when I was
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: a state lawmaker as far back as 10 years ago,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: voting against these incentives for data centers.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: They're some of the most well-funded companies in the world.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: They don't need tax incentives from the hardworking people that
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I represent to go and decide to build a data
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: center somewhere in Michigan, for example. They can choose to
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: go or choose to look at where they're going based
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: on a variety of circumstances, but it shouldn't mean that
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: we're going to pay them to locate here in communities
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: that I represent. I support the voices of those in
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: those communities making the decision about what's right for them
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: based on the totality of of the information and the
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: circumstances with clear information and not these secret nondisclosure agreements,
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: whether they're local officials, state officials, or federal officials.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Engaging in that, I think, violates the public trust. So
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: would you introduce legislation to make that illegal? Well, I
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: already have.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've already introduced bills to.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Is there anything like that going to get passed? Is
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: there support in Congress? Well, I certainly hope so.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't introduce it if it wasn't my clear intent
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: to get it passed.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: We're building a coalition.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: This is a bipartisan effort to both reinforce local decision-making
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: by local residents as well as breaking down these nondisclosure agreements.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: that have really violated that public trust in a way
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: that I think is very detrimental to the process so
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: that you cannot then have those candid conversations with residents
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: and their local officials.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: The only nondisclosure.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Agreement I ever signed in my life was my security
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: clearance with the United States Army. And that stands as
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: a proud testament of what I think is the right
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: thing to do. And that's what I want to continue
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: to lead on in Congress, both for the remainder of
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: this term and going into next term as well, so
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: that local residents can feel confident that they're not having
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: a distorted influence on the decisions about what's going on
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: in their backyard or in their community.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Congressman Tom Barrett, thank you so much for joining us tonight.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: We certainly appreciate it.
