- 0:22Speaker 1: I'm great, Thank you for having me.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Hey, So, these the democrats, the liberals, the media, they're
- 0:28Speaker 2: so furious at President Trump or Venezuela over Iran, over
- 0:32Speaker 2: our is one of the reasons they're so mad at him,
- 0:33Speaker 2: is this foreign adventure seems to be paying off. It
- 0:36Speaker 2: seems to be working.
- 0:38Speaker 1: When you agree, yeah, I mean I think, you know,
- 0:41Speaker 1: I think that you could really describe this as a
- 0:45Speaker 1: winning streak. Mark. You know, to have Democrats come out
- 0:49Speaker 1: mourning the imprisonment of Nikola Maduro is so preposterous and
- 0:55Speaker 1: so ridiculous, particularly in light of the fact we have
- 0:58Speaker 1: so many clips of Democrats across the spectrum calling for
- 1:03Speaker 1: the jailing of Maduro and chastising Donald Trump for not
- 1:07Speaker 1: having been more aggressive with the Maduro regime. And then,
- 1:10Speaker 1: you know, and of course Joe Biden increasing the bounty
- 1:15Speaker 1: on Maduro information leading to the rest of Maduro to
- 1:20Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars, and then it happens. I mean,
- 1:22Speaker 1: the funniest thing would be it they have to pay
- 1:24Speaker 1: Donald Trump for actually paying out for actually following through
- 1:28Speaker 1: and jailing the guy. I mean, it's ridiculous. And Iran,
- 1:32Speaker 1: of course a very different situation. Iran, in my view,
- 1:36Speaker 1: is a situation where Donald Trump can take a lot
- 1:39Speaker 1: of credit for the fact that the Mallahs are in retreat,
- 1:43Speaker 1: They're on the defensive. They have obviously now are confronting
- 1:48Speaker 1: an enormous uprising of the people of Iran who know
- 1:53Speaker 1: that there is freedom around the quarter and they're tired
- 1:56Speaker 1: of theocracy. They're really tired of the Iatolas spending billions
- 2:03Speaker 1: of dollars every year funding proxies like Hesbla and Hamas
- 2:09Speaker 1: and basically ignoring the needs of their citizens. The economy
- 2:14Speaker 1: is in collapse, and you got to say, Donald Trump
- 2:17Speaker 1: in his first term put extremely strict sanctions on Iranian
- 2:22Speaker 1: oil exports. Exports dropped about half a million barrels a day.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Then Biden came in took his foot off the break
- 2:28Speaker 1: exports surge. Biden managed to also fund the Iranian regime
- 2:34Speaker 1: with almost ten billion dollars of moneies that had been
- 2:39Speaker 1: sequestered an effect from the regime. It's really it was
- 2:43Speaker 1: a horrible turnaround on a successful foreign policy that was
- 2:48Speaker 1: putting Iran on the defensive. And remember the money that
- 2:52Speaker 1: goes to the Iranian the Iranian government does not help
- 2:56Speaker 1: the people of Iran. It basically goes to Hesbola. It
- 3:00Speaker 1: goes to the UTIs who are attacking navy vessels and
- 3:04Speaker 1: commercial shipping. These are bad guys and all of the
- 3:07Speaker 1: money that Biden sort of stood by and allowed to
- 3:11Speaker 1: flow to Iran, it ended up many in many instances,
- 3:15Speaker 1: attacking Americans. So Trump has been steadfast and his resolution
- 3:21Speaker 1: to basically stand up against the Mullahs bombing there, obviously
- 3:28Speaker 1: bombing the nuclear facilities was a big part of that.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Encouraging Israel to attack Iran and basically then supporting Israel's
- 3:39Speaker 1: defense against generating and retaliation. It's a long history and
- 3:44Speaker 1: Trump should be pretty proud of having brought us to
- 3:47Speaker 1: this point. Will it mean that the Iotola flees to Moscow?
- 3:51Speaker 1: One can only hope. I have no idea if that's
- 3:53Speaker 1: going to happen or not.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Well, you can be pretty sure in the next weeks,
- 3:57Speaker 2: maybe months. Yeah, aatola has gone Iran to go back
- 4:00Speaker 2: to what it used to be, a peaceful democracy, of
- 4:03Speaker 2: flourishing country. And isn't it usually Iran that stirs up
- 4:06Speaker 2: much of the trouble that we have in the Mid East?
- 4:08Speaker 2: Can imagine no question.
- 4:10Speaker 1: And by the way, I'll tell you who is sharing,
- 4:13Speaker 1: although they have to do it somewhat surreptitiously, is the
- 4:16Speaker 1: golf Arab countries. After we bombed the nuclear facilities, everyone
- 4:22Speaker 1: they made sort of polite utterances about how this was
- 4:24Speaker 1: an attack on a sovereign nation, blah blah blah. You
- 4:27Speaker 1: didn't see any real retaliation or anything from the golf
- 4:31Speaker 1: Arab countries because they want to do business with the
- 4:34Speaker 1: rest of the world, and Iran attacks their interests as
- 4:38Speaker 1: much as they attack American interests. They don't chant death
- 4:41Speaker 1: to Saudi Arabia. But you can be you know, you
- 4:44Speaker 1: know pretty well that that's sort of one step beyond
- 4:47Speaker 1: behind the scenes, and that that rivalry is equally malicious
- 4:54Speaker 1: in terms of Middle East peace, which you know, we
- 4:57Speaker 1: are making progress in the Middle East, but Iran is
- 5:01Speaker 1: a bad actor in the region. There's just no question
- 5:04Speaker 1: about it.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, he used the word preposterous. It's a great
- 5:07Speaker 2: way to describe a lot of the left wing movement
- 5:11Speaker 2: right now thinking it's okay to run over ICE officers
- 5:15Speaker 2: or even to just drive your car into a motorcative
- 5:19Speaker 2: law enforcement and pull sideways and box them in in
- 5:21Speaker 2: the street. Who would have the nerve to do that.
- 5:25Speaker 1: I don't understand it, honestly, Mark, I think that the
- 5:27Speaker 1: left has sort of lost their marbles totally. Imagine, after all,
- 5:32Speaker 1: this is law enforcement. I think it was the Chicago
- 5:35Speaker 1: PD head who said, look, if you go after law enforcement,
- 5:39Speaker 1: you're asking for trouble. And whether it's an ICE agent
- 5:42Speaker 1: or an FBI agent or a local cop, you're not
- 5:44Speaker 1: allowed to do that. They've got guns and you don't.
- 5:47Speaker 1: And the presumption is they have guns because they have authority.
- 5:51Speaker 1: They know. It's so crazy because what is ICE doing.
- 5:55Speaker 1: They are removing from our country people in the country
- 6:00Speaker 1: illegally who are also criminals. And yes, when they do
- 6:03Speaker 1: a big sweep sometimes they only they get criminals, and
- 6:07Speaker 1: they also pick up people whose only transgression is that
- 6:11Speaker 1: they're in the country illegally. It wasn't that long ago,
- 6:14Speaker 1: Mark that Obama and Hillary Clinton and other people were saying,
- 6:18Speaker 1: if they're here illegally, they've broken the law, they need
- 6:21Speaker 1: to go home. What happened to that idea that you're
- 6:24Speaker 1: either legal or illegal? The Democrats in the last several years,
- 6:27Speaker 1: because of Donald Trump, because he has been strong on
- 6:31Speaker 1: this issue, they have now completely eliminated and erased the
- 6:35Speaker 1: difference between legal and illegal immigration. If you think that
- 6:40Speaker 1: someone in the country illegally should be deported, you're a racist,
- 6:43Speaker 1: you're a Nazi, and you don't like immigrants. None of
- 6:47Speaker 1: that is true. Republicans are pro immigration. Republicans understand that
- 6:53Speaker 1: immigrants are important for our country. But number one, let's
- 6:56Speaker 1: fix our immigration systems so it actually benefits the United States.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Let's make make it a merit based system and get
- 7:04Speaker 1: rid of this horrendous diversity lottery and a lot of
- 7:07Speaker 1: the other ELM.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Do we lose her? Hello? I think we did. Let's
- 7:14Speaker 2: sae if we can get Liz peaked back. She vanished there,
- 7:20Speaker 2: we'll find her. But her news site is very good
