Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Out of the great state of Ohio, our dear friend
- 0:02Speaker 1: Jim Jordan. Jim, good morning, buddy. How are you.
- 0:06Speaker 2: I'm doing fine, man, I didn't you know what you
- 0:08Speaker 2: were talking about in testinal problems and the guy who
- 0:11Speaker 2: won't stop saying you learn everything on your shelf. Man,
- 0:14Speaker 2: you can get it all here. I like, what is it?
- 0:20Speaker 1: Ah? God, I know it is true though. We do
- 0:23Speaker 1: it all here. Whether it's news, politics, sports, diarrhea, we
- 0:26Speaker 1: do it all, Jim. I do want to get to
- 0:30Speaker 1: the big weekend, the America two fifties celebration. I thought
- 0:33Speaker 1: President Trump's speech was magnificent. In direct contrast, mind you,
- 0:38Speaker 1: to the Mayor's speech here in New York, where he
- 0:40Speaker 1: sat behind George Washington's desk. He put it backwards. He
- 0:44Speaker 1: had a bunch of really nasty looking people. It was
- 0:47Speaker 1: just unbelievable, Jim. But for the most part, the America
- 0:50Speaker 1: two fifty was amazing.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's amazing because it's an amazing country. I mean,
- 0:57Speaker 2: my wife and I shared the story yesterday. My wife
- 0:59Speaker 2: and I went to see the uh stage production of
- 1:02Speaker 2: seventeen seventy six a few weeks back. And what those
- 1:06Speaker 2: guys did, what they signed that document declaring to the
- 1:09Speaker 2: world why it was appropriate too at the time commit
- 1:12Speaker 2: treason what they did and started and launched this amazing
- 1:16Speaker 2: experiment in liberty. We call America the greatest country ever.
- 1:20Speaker 2: The two hundred and fifty celebration has been amazing because
- 1:22Speaker 2: the country is amazing. And President Trump understands that from
- 1:26Speaker 2: you know, from everything that took place on the mall
- 1:28Speaker 2: to the to the UFC fight for goodness sake, that
- 1:31Speaker 2: was unbelievable. It's a it's a great place and we
- 1:36Speaker 2: should we should all remember that, and frankly remember the
- 1:38Speaker 2: sacrifices that those guys made two hundred and fifty years ago,
- 1:42Speaker 2: and all the other folks in uniform and everything else
- 1:44Speaker 2: who've made sacrifices for this special place.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Continued to make sacrifices. You Ronnie, then today you know,
- 1:51Speaker 1: you mentioned treason. I mentioned mom, Donnie, and they go
- 1:54Speaker 1: together like a good steak and a good beer, you
- 1:57Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And this I just had this
- 2:00Speaker 1: conversation with Bill O'Reilly that the numbers may not be big,
- 2:03Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, but this communist takeover and that's what it is. Sorry,
- 2:07Speaker 1: Chris Cuomo. Communist Okay, this communist takeover maybe small in
- 2:12Speaker 1: numbers now, but it is growing every day across his country.
- 2:16Speaker 1: And if you're an American, you should be scared.
- 2:20Speaker 2: No, yeah, yeah, no, I agree, And we may have
- 2:23Speaker 2: said this the last time we're honor. Recently I said
- 2:27Speaker 2: that the once grat party of FDR and JFK is
- 2:31Speaker 2: now anti Israel and socialists or communist. I mean it's
- 2:36Speaker 2: the left has taken it over the party. And again,
- 2:38Speaker 2: not all Democrats are crazy, but the left that controls
- 2:41Speaker 2: the party is. And you're seeing that in primary after
- 2:44Speaker 2: primary so much so. And I think we talked about this.
- 2:46Speaker 2: They're in New York. Dan Goldman impeachment councilor handpicked by
- 2:51Speaker 2: Adam Schiff to come in and be the counselor to
- 2:53Speaker 2: do the deposition. I set in these depositions because I
- 2:56Speaker 2: was there with Archief Council from the Judiciary Committee when
- 2:58Speaker 2: we got moved to the Intelligence Committee seven years ago.
- 3:00Speaker 2: During that four month time frame when Adam Shipp was
- 3:03Speaker 2: doing this all in secret, Dan Goldman was his guy,
- 3:06Speaker 2: was the impeachment counsel for him and the committee. After
- 3:08Speaker 2: that's over, he goes back to New York runs for Congress,
- 3:11Speaker 2: wins and then runs again and gets beat a few
- 3:14Speaker 2: weeks ago by thirty points. Even Dan Goldman impeachment counseer
- 3:18Speaker 2: is not good enough for the right of the left,
- 3:20Speaker 2: which now, unfortunately, I think controls again in the once
- 3:23Speaker 2: great party of FDR and JFT.
- 3:26Speaker 1: You're right, I mean I actually found myself rooting for
- 3:28Speaker 1: Dan Goldman and I can't stand him. Yeah. I rooted here, yeah,
- 3:32Speaker 1: right here, because peed Land is such a bad guy.
- 3:35Speaker 1: This is the great Ohio Congressman, Jim Jordan. Let's get
- 3:38Speaker 1: to Iran. You know, I know Trump is smarter than me,
- 3:41Speaker 1: and so will you for that matter, Jim. But I've
- 3:44Speaker 1: been saying for three months, really, right after Operation epig Fiel. Yeah,
- 3:48Speaker 1: I said this a million times this morning on Fox
- 3:50Speaker 1: News two weeks ago to Rachel Campos, I thought Midnight
- 3:53Speaker 1: Hammer was a huge success, huge I thought Operation Epic
- 3:58Speaker 1: Fury that Saturday morning was a huge success. But I
- 4:01Speaker 1: really feel like, and I've been complaining about it almost
- 4:03Speaker 1: every day, as much does I love Trump. The last
- 4:05Speaker 1: couple of months, we've been stuck. We've done nothing, We've
- 4:08Speaker 1: done nothing, and Iran is sticking around, sticking around. I
- 4:13Speaker 1: keep asking the president to do what it doesn't want
- 4:15Speaker 1: to do, which is just blow these guys up. Just
- 4:18Speaker 1: do it already. Maybe we're there now. I hope we are,
- 4:22Speaker 1: but that's how I feel, Jim. Those two exercises were amazing,
- 4:25Speaker 1: but the last couple of months we've been stuck.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Well, those two exercises were amazing because they were consistent
- 4:31Speaker 2: with what President Trump told the American people he was
- 4:34Speaker 2: going to do if in fact he was president. He said,
- 4:36Speaker 2: if I'm elected, I will make sure Iran doesn't get
- 4:38Speaker 2: nuclear capability. As long as that is our primary focus,
- 4:41Speaker 2: as long as that is the objective, the goal, the
- 4:44Speaker 2: thing that we're striving to get to, then I think
- 4:47Speaker 2: the American people understand that because you cannot let this regime,
- 4:51Speaker 2: the most evil regime on the planet, the largest state
- 4:54Speaker 2: sponsor of terrorism. We've hard all these facts, but so
- 4:56Speaker 2: they've been. They've been doing terrible things for forty seven years,
- 5:00Speaker 2: killing Americans, killing Israelis, killing killing other people, killing thousands
- 5:03Speaker 2: of their own people said they are so bad. Wrestling
- 5:07Speaker 2: is in My background is in the sport of wrestling,
- 5:10Speaker 2: and Iran wrestling is big. It is one of their
- 5:13Speaker 2: key sports. They took that nineteen year old junior champion,
- 5:17Speaker 2: one of their up and coming star athletes in one
- 5:19Speaker 2: of their key sports, and they hung him publicly because
- 5:22Speaker 2: he had the nerve to protest against the regime. That's
- 5:25Speaker 2: how evil this place is. So making sure they don't
- 5:28Speaker 2: get a nuclear weapon is and that, I think is
- 5:31Speaker 2: what we have to talk about as Republicans. This is
- 5:33Speaker 2: the objective is and as long as it stays there,
- 5:35Speaker 2: the other things, you know, if they happen, they happen,
- 5:37Speaker 2: But it shouldn't be our goal to have regime change
- 5:39Speaker 2: and all the other things. It seems to me the
- 5:41Speaker 2: goal should be real simple, make sure they don't get
- 5:43Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon, because the nuclear weapon can do all
- 5:45Speaker 2: kinds of damage to our best friend and ally, the
- 5:47Speaker 2: state of Israel, and can do damage to our other
- 5:49Speaker 2: allies in Europe and potentially America. So that is what
- 5:52Speaker 2: the president is focused on, and I believe he makes
- 5:56Speaker 2: decisions that are in the best answer to the country,
- 5:58Speaker 2: and he's going to make sure they do get a
- 6:00Speaker 2: nuclear weapon.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Again. Midnight Hammer almost made sure of that because we
- 6:03Speaker 1: really wiped out their CenTra futures that night. The Iron Chic,
- 6:08Speaker 1: you know, I remember talking about wrestling Jim. His whole
- 6:11Speaker 1: job was to piss off the country, and he did
- 6:13Speaker 1: it pretty well till they caught him. They caught him
- 6:16Speaker 1: in a van partying with Hawk Saw Jim Toolgan right
- 6:19Speaker 1: before they had their big bide Madison Square Garden. But
- 6:22Speaker 1: he was a he was a great garratter for wrestling
- 6:24Speaker 1: the Iron Sheet, you know, talking about Iran and these
- 6:27Speaker 1: other countries. Was seeing this too, Jim. And I know
- 6:30Speaker 1: you guys in Congress are working specifically on this illegal
- 6:35Speaker 1: immigrant workers, tons of them, tons and tons in every
- 6:40Speaker 1: big metro area. Are you telling me there's not enough
- 6:44Speaker 1: Americans to do these jobs well?
- 6:47Speaker 2: And I think there was a recent story that has
- 6:50Speaker 2: because of the number of the illegals event of the country.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Remember it was all it was almost ten million in
- 6:55Speaker 2: the four years of the Biden administration. That so many
- 6:58Speaker 2: people come in, that's one of the things. It's driving
- 7:00Speaker 2: up the cost of housing. That makes it tough for
- 7:03Speaker 2: young couples, newlyweds and young couples who are in young
- 7:06Speaker 2: families to be able to purchase a home. In president
- 7:09Speaker 2: I think it's talk about this, and I saw a
- 7:10Speaker 2: news story on this recently. So there's all these concerns
- 7:13Speaker 2: there not to mention illegal micros who come into these
- 7:16Speaker 2: sanctuary cities, the sanctuary jurisdictions and commit other crimes, and
- 7:20Speaker 2: you got the soft on crime prosecutors who won't prosecute him.
- 7:23Speaker 2: In fact, we had a hearing a few a few
- 7:26Speaker 2: weeks ago where Discano the prosecutor there in Fairfax County,
- 7:30Speaker 2: just outside of d C County, of one point eight
- 7:32Speaker 2: million people. He was taking into account the immigration status,
- 7:37Speaker 2: the deportation status of people who commit crimes and making
- 7:41Speaker 2: less charges, better plea agreements with those individuals than he
- 7:44Speaker 2: does for an American who commits the same crime. That is,
- 7:47Speaker 2: that is not how our constitutions started to work for
- 7:50Speaker 2: goodness sake. So this is again, this is the crazy
- 7:53Speaker 2: mindset of today's left, and I think this will be
- 7:55Speaker 2: center stage in this upcoming midterm election. They're the party
- 7:59Speaker 2: that embraces these crazy concepts and policies. We're the party
- 8:02Speaker 2: of common sense.
- 8:03Speaker 1: All right, three quick ones, we'll let you're wrong. The
- 8:05Speaker 1: amazing congressmen doing a great job. Are you good with
- 8:09Speaker 1: us selling f thirty fives to Turkey?
- 8:13Speaker 2: I think you got to be careful. I mean, I know,
- 8:14Speaker 2: the President said he's considering that. I think it should
- 8:17Speaker 2: be careful consideration because I do get concerned about our
- 8:20Speaker 2: friend and ally, the state of Israel. So I think
- 8:23Speaker 2: you got to be careful about that. I don't know
- 8:24Speaker 2: if the President's made a decision. I know he talked
- 8:26Speaker 2: about that when he was in a Turkey with the
- 8:29Speaker 2: NATO meetings, But well, I would want to see more
- 8:33Speaker 2: before we let that happen. But I think it's we
- 8:36Speaker 2: got to take into account what I think our good
- 8:39Speaker 2: friend Israel and our best ally in the Middle East
- 8:42Speaker 2: understands about this issue.
- 8:43Speaker 1: That's a great answer, exactly what I wanted. Jim. Thank you.
- 8:46Speaker 1: I just got back from Israel for a fifth time
- 8:48Speaker 1: in the last two and a half years, so I'm
- 8:50Speaker 1: right with you. Look good news. You know we talk
- 8:52Speaker 1: about all the illegal immigrants jobs here in America. How
- 8:55Speaker 1: about the manufacturing that President Trump has brought back, another
- 8:58Speaker 1: thing that he promised that he has to live it on.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Look at Apple about doing the best thirty billion in
- 9:03Speaker 1: US chips. That's a big one, Jim, Right, Yeah, no
- 9:06Speaker 1: it is.
- 9:07Speaker 2: And you know the old line about Ohio where I'm
- 9:10Speaker 2: at now, I'm up actually up in the Cleveland area. Today.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Our great state is in Ohio. You make things and
- 9:14Speaker 2: grow things, and it's like we're the big manufacturing state,
- 9:17Speaker 2: but we're also kind of where it starts to get
- 9:19Speaker 2: serious with the corn and soybeans and agriculture as you
- 9:22Speaker 2: move across the Midwest and you want to be a
- 9:25Speaker 2: country that makes things and grows things. That's important, I
- 9:27Speaker 2: think for security reasons, important for your economy. President Trump
- 9:31Speaker 2: understands that it's been a key element of his campaign
- 9:34Speaker 2: and positioned and platform clarback since twenty fifteen when he
- 9:38Speaker 2: came down the escalator and announced he's going to run.
- 9:41Speaker 2: So yeah, he's I think again, I think this president
- 9:44Speaker 2: does what he said he was going to do. And
- 9:46Speaker 2: I always say we make the job too complicated. It's
- 9:48Speaker 2: pretty basic. Was you tell the voters you were going
- 9:50Speaker 2: to do when you put your name on the ballot.
- 9:53Speaker 2: If you get elected, go do what you said. And
- 9:55Speaker 2: nobody does it better than President Trump.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Last one, Jim, You and Colemore and all my good
- 9:59Speaker 1: brands did a really good job of keeping Joe Biden
- 10:02Speaker 1: in check. And you know, along with our ben Miranda
- 10:04Speaker 1: de Vine here in New York and what are you
- 10:06Speaker 1: Giuliani exposed the Biden crime family. Is that thing, Dad,
- 10:11Speaker 1: I'm hearing? When was that maybe you guys are going
- 10:13Speaker 1: to pick up the Biden thing again.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Well, I think we've done our good oversight work and
- 10:18Speaker 2: got the facts there and then look at, you know,
- 10:21Speaker 2: possible how those facts might influence what kind of legislation
- 10:24Speaker 2: we pass. But I've been very pleased and impressed with
- 10:28Speaker 2: Attorney General Blanche and the work the Justice Department is doing.
- 10:32Speaker 2: You know, they prosecuted some of these guys who came
- 10:34Speaker 2: after President Trump and were engaged in all kind of
- 10:36Speaker 2: like camy. I think that I think there's a high
- 10:39Speaker 2: likelihood Brennan gets prosecuted. We actually did our committee, the
- 10:42Speaker 2: Judiciary Committee, did a criminal referral for Brennan because we
- 10:46Speaker 2: know he lied to us, definitely lied to us, and
- 10:48Speaker 2: we deposed him last Congress and we sent that to
- 10:50Speaker 2: the Justice Department. So I do think they're doing a
- 10:53Speaker 2: good job. That would largely be up to the Justice
- 10:55Speaker 2: Department what they pursue relative to the Biden family or
- 10:59Speaker 2: these other folks Comy and Brennan, and and of course
- 11:03Speaker 2: we we know that John Bolton has already played guilty
- 11:08Speaker 2: yep to uh two times that that he committed when
- 11:10Speaker 2: when it came to how he handled classified information. So
- 11:13Speaker 2: I really appreciate what Todd's is.
- 11:15Speaker 1: So Lebron's going to go to Philadelphia, Jim, here's my prediction. Okay,
- 11:20Speaker 1: Lebron goes to Philly to Chart to win one more championship.
- 11:23Speaker 1: He plays two more years, goes to Philly to Chart
- 11:26Speaker 1: to win one more championship, and then he comes home
- 11:29Speaker 1: to Cleveland. What do you think?
- 11:31Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it's funny you bring. I was with some
- 11:34Speaker 2: some guys last night, some uh who went to the
- 11:36Speaker 2: same high school he did. You know, they're they're a
- 11:38Speaker 2: little older than my age, but they went to Saint Vincent,
- 11:40Speaker 2: Saint Mary's Acton Saint Saint d there in in Akron.
- 11:44Speaker 2: So i'd love to see him come back, I think
- 11:46Speaker 2: to Ohio. You know, people loved it when he was
- 11:48Speaker 2: in Cleveland several years ago and won a championship. So
- 11:51Speaker 2: we'll see. I don't follow the NBA like I follow
- 11:53Speaker 2: other sports, so well, I kind of wait till NBA.
- 11:57Speaker 2: I followed maybe the final the championship got into the
- 12:00Speaker 2: next dishy of course, but up until then I didn't
- 12:02Speaker 2: want to follow it. So we'll see. We'll see what
- 12:04Speaker 2: he does.
- 12:04Speaker 1: They're going to change the name of the Guardians of
- 12:06Speaker 1: the Indians sometime soon or what.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Every Opening Day we did the same tweet every year
- 12:12Speaker 2: an Opening Day. We say good luck Indians every Opening
- 12:15Speaker 2: Day every spring.
- 12:16Speaker 1: I love it. I still call them the Indians. I
- 12:18Speaker 1: still call them the Indians. I still call Washington the Redskins.
- 12:21Speaker 1: I don't care. If the Native Americans don't care, Washington,
- 12:23Speaker 1: I can. Jim, You're an amazing guy, an amazing congressman,
- 12:26Speaker 1: and a terrific friend and a great guest. Thank you
- 12:28Speaker 1: so much.
- 12:29Speaker 2: I take you too. There.
- 12:31Speaker 1: He is the great congressman. I really enjoy him a lot.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Jim George
