  We appreciate you guys listening tonight.
• 1:05
  Uh, we've gonna have a great discussion tonight.
• 1:07
  We're gonna start off the show uh talking about President Trump uh over Easter weekend.
• 1:13
  Uh, you know, the Democrats started all these rumors uh on Sunday, Easter Sunday, because President Trump was calling an early lid to the day, and they all of a sudden said that he was at Walter Reed Hospital, and uh acted like he was dying.
• 1:28
  I mean, we've seen this rodeo before, but they went down this route again only for Trump to re-emerge, which uh just makes him look stupid every single time they do this.
• 1:38
  I mean, this is at least the second or third time I remember where there's been a hoax going around that Trump was taken to Walter Reed hospital, and there was nothing to it once again on this one, but nonetheless, uh President Trump on Easter Sunday uh fired out uh anchor tweet to Iran, wanting them to make a deal saying they have 48 hours dropping an F bomb.
• 2:01
  Um it was a vulgar over the top tweet.
• 2:04
  Uh, you know, it's not totally out of place for Trump.
• 2:07
  It's not like he's never said anything like this before.
• 2:11
  So uh it it's kind of to be expected from Trump, but of course the media has to um over exaggerate everything that has to do with Trump.
• 2:20
  Um overplay their hand like they do uh with everything involving him to the point where uh people don't buy anything that they say, even if maybe they're start off with a decent point.
• 2:31
  Uh but that's why they've lost all credibility is because it's just the hate Trump media, and uh we saw that once again on Sunday.
• 2:39
  Um I wasn't a big fan of the tweet either, but I mean it's not totally shocking uh coming from Trump.
• 2:46
  What were your thoughts, Rob?
• 2:47
  Well, Andrew, I want to thank all of our listeners for tuning in.
• 2:50
  And I've got a lot to say about the uh his tweet.
• 2:52
  Heather and I briefly touched it last night when we were talking about the media and how it seemed to us, well, at least to me, that the media was they were counting on the the soldiers being captured by Iran, if not the first one, definitely the second one.
• 3:10
  And as you said, when he called it a cap, an early cap, they immediately start to speculation.
• 3:15
  Oh, he's going to Walter Reed.
• 3:16
  Oh my god, what's going on?
• 3:17
  And the sad thing about this, and we've talked about this before, is how the Democrats media, their propaganda arm, their political action committee is always setting the stage, the narrative that makes so it seems all other media outlets to follow them.
• 3:36
  You even have some on the right, Republicans who will follow their narrative, knowing that it's wrong, knowing that it can't be proven, and what if he is at Walter Reed?
• 3:48
  Considering Joe Biden should have been at Walter Reed or a rest home, what does it matter?
• 3:53
  But then the speculation starts.
• 3:55
  Oh my god, is he dying?
• 3:56
  Remember when he got COVID and the media got mad because he walked on the outside and walked to the car to go to Walter Reed.
• 4:03
  Oh, how dare he?
• 4:04
  How dare he walks?
• 4:05
  He should have been in an ambulance.
• 4:06
  He should have been lying down.
• 4:08
  Had he done that, they would have said he's dead.
• 4:10
  Oh, he's dead, and the person that you're looking at right now, that's not the real Trump.
• 4:13
  And you know what?
• 4:14
  He would have had a lot of people buying into that narrative.
• 4:17
  Maybe Trump is dead, maybe it's someone else, maybe it's a stand-in, maybe it's a lookalike.
• 4:21
  They said that about Melania.
• 4:23
  She's not at the White House.
• 4:24
  Oh, when she is there, maybe she's not there.
• 4:25
  Maybe it's a look alike.
• 4:27
  The media creates these fabricated stories that are so far fetched, they are so completely unbelievable that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to say, wait a minute, guys, this makes no sense.
• 4:38
  He works 24-7, unlike Biden, who would get up in the morning time at nine and then call a lid on it at 9 30.
• 4:47
  You have Trump who's the most accessible president ever.
• 4:50
  Monday, how many press conferences did he give?
• 4:53
  He was supposed to give one at one to talk about the soldiers that who crashed and we found them.
• 4:59
  But before then, he was at the Easter egg hunt and he talked and he talked.
• 5:04
  He gives the media all of this accessibility, and people see it, but yet in still the media will come, take it, and spin it a different way.
• 5:13
  And then people start going, oh yeah, maybe that's right.
• 5:16
  It's like, wait a minute, you just saw the man.
• 5:18
  You just saw him give a presser.
• 5:20
  The man is never sleeping.
• 5:22
  When he found out about the soldiers who had crashed, who had gone down, he was up and saying, I want them.
• 5:27
  We leave no man behind.
• 5:29
  Find them.
• 5:30
  Now I'm sure Pete Hexett was probably asleep, but he jumped up and said, Oh, we got it, we got a mission.
• 5:34
  Is anyone not does anyone not notice this?
• 5:37
  But when the media spends something that is completely negative, makes no sense, has no grounding, no foundation, everyone will sit there and go so nodding their head.
• 5:46
  Oh, yeah, oh, uh-huh.
• 5:47
  That must be right.
• 5:48
  It's like, are you serious?
• 5:49
  These are the same people who told us that Joe Biden was at his best.
• 5:52
  Joe Biden was at his finest.
• 5:54
  Joe Biden is a smartest man.
• 5:56
  Look at what Joe Biden look at what Joe Biden has done for America.
• 5:59
  Look and look at America now.
• 6:00
  We have all these illegals here.
• 6:02
  We have terrorists behind our borders.
• 6:04
  We have states that seem like they're becoming Islamified.
• 6:08
  We had a supply chain shortage.
• 6:10
  Food was stuck out in the ocean because we didn't have anyone to go get it.
• 6:13
  We were forced to take a vaccine that we didn't want.
• 6:16
  And if you didn't take it, you lost your livelihood.
• 6:18
  And if you dare say that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election, you will lose your job, and they would deplatform you.
• 6:24
  They would shut you down.
• 6:25
  And then they told you, if you don't let your child have transgender surgery, we're gonna take the child from you.
• 6:30
  You don't have any rights.
• 6:31
  And we're supposed to celebrate that.
• 6:33
  We saw all of this take place.
• 6:35
  Trump comes in.
• 6:36
  He starts cleaning house.
• 6:37
  I hope he fumigated the White House.
• 6:39
  He gave us the Trump drug plan to reduce prices on drugs, especially diabetes drugs, the fat drug.
• 6:46
  Many of you are taking part in it right now.
• 6:48
  He Trump did that.
• 6:49
  That's compliments of Trump.
• 6:51
  But we've just forgotten all about that.
• 6:52
  Went overseas, got all these deals to come here.
• 6:54
  We have factories that are being built in the middle of America right now.
• 6:57
  No one is talking about it.
• 6:58
  Oh, we can't talk about that.
• 6:59
  Trump is at Walter Reed.
• 7:01
  And there's no evidence about it.
• 7:03
  But you have evidence with the fat drug and Trump RX.
• 7:07
  And then you had the Trump accounts to build generational wealth for children.
• 7:11
  Huge.
• 7:11
  And you have all these other companies that are saying, Dale, oh, we're gonna participate in it.
• 7:15
  JP Morgan, we're gonna participate in it.
• 7:17
  Media won't talk about that.
• 7:18
  We go in, we go into Venezuela, we take out the cheap drug lord who's been sending drugs here, killing Americans on American streets.
• 7:26
  Look at California, drugs all over the place.
• 7:29
  We go in, we take the guy out.
• 7:31
  We don't lose not one soldier, not one soldier.
• 7:34
  We clean all of this up.
• 7:35
  And then we take control of the oil.
• 7:37
  And now China is sitting there wondering, oh my god, we were gonna take it, but they took it.
• 7:40
  Media can't talk about it.
• 7:42
  No, no, no.
• 7:42
  Maduro, he was a great leader.
• 7:44
  What are we doing to this leader?
• 7:45
  Oh my god.
• 7:46
  Nothing positive.
• 7:47
  Going to Iran, we bombed them up to Y Zoo.
• 7:50
  They don't know anything about it.
• 7:50
  Then we just start knocking off their leaders one by one.
• 7:54
  It's only been less than a month, one month.
• 7:56
  All the price of gas and oil goes up.
• 7:59
  People start clutching their pearls.
• 8:00
  Oh my god, the world is falling down.
• 8:02
  But on a Biden, we had all these high prices, food shortage.
• 8:05
  But we were still told, oh, Biden is the best thing ever.
• 8:07
  For four years, he's the best, he's the best.
• 8:10
  The man was probably sick with COVID.
• 8:12
  Probably got COVID more than once, and no one said anything about it, Andrew.
• 8:16
  Not nothing.
• 8:17
  Yeah, I think I wouldn't say either one of them are did a been good presidents uh at this rate.
• 8:23
  Uh back to over four dollars a gallon nationally.
• 8:27
  Uh the war in Iran.
• 8:29
  Uh we were told it was over weeks ago.
• 8:32
  It just continues.
• 8:33
  We're spending over a billion dollars a day in the Middle East.
• 8:36
  He's asking for 200 billion more.
• 8:38
  Uh it's a disaster on all levels.
• 8:40
  But um, like Rob said before, it's still early in his term, and he can rebound from that, hopefully, and get these prices back down.
• 8:48
  But at this point in time, uh, it's not looking good.
• 8:51
  Well, it's not looking good.
• 8:53
  You you gotta tell me what's not looking good.
• 8:54
  A moment of discomfort, a month of discomfort compared to the city.
• 8:57
  Well, all the things I just mentioned.
• 8:59
  Which were I just mentioned five different things.
• 9:01
  We're spending billions of dollars in the Middle East.
• 9:04
  Uh gas prices are sky high.
• 9:07
  Um, we've had American soldiers die.
• 9:09
  Um, this is very unpopular.
• 9:11
  Uh his popularity rating.
• 9:14
  Uh he's just lost, I believe, 29 points since the election from independence.
• 9:19
  Uh, it's not looking good as far as that goes.
• 9:21
  And under Biden, we had four years.
• 9:23
  Well, I've never said Biden was good.
• 9:25
  I'm just saying I had a lot higher expectations under Trump, and he's not meeting those so far.
• 9:30
  Uh, so far within what what was the time frame?
• 9:32
  A month.
• 9:32
  How long has he been in office?
• 9:34
  Uh, I believe uh 16 months.
• 9:37
  16 months.
• 9:38
  So a month of discomfort compared to four years of discomfort.
• 9:43
  And before then we had Trump for four years.
• 9:46
  Then we had eight years of Obama disaster, which Trump is still trying to clean up, which he tried to clean up in 2016.
• 9:54
  I understand the concern of people when oh my god, it doesn't look good, but a month of discomfort.
• 10:00
  Comfort compared to the case.
• 10:01
  It remains to be seen if it's just going to be a month.
• 10:04
  It remains to be seen, but we just got into this.
• 10:07
  But we know what we had on a bite in four years.
• 10:09
  And when we go back to 2016, it was a disaster.
• 10:11
  No doubt about it.
• 10:12
  Oh, a complete disaster.
• 10:13
  We go back to Trump 2016.
• 10:15
  We start looking at the numbers.
• 10:17
  Trump numbers were never all the way up there.
• 10:19
  And they were never going to be there.
• 10:21
  When you have a media, and Heather and I would talk about this all the time.
• 10:24
  But even a lot of a lot of us Trump supporters are disgusted in what we're seeing this time around.
• 10:29
  I was Trump's biggest supporter his first term because of the no new wars.
• 10:34
  A lot of the other things he was doing.
• 10:36
  And it just has felt like a total betrayal this time around.
• 10:39
  Because of one thing you got to do.
• 10:41
  It's because of several things.
• 10:43
  I wasn't a fan of nuking Iran, or not uh nuking Iran, but bombing their nuclear sites because I don't believe that they were a threat.
• 10:50
  I wasn't a fan of the Venezuela military intervention.
• 10:53
  I do like that one more than um the Iran one, because at least it's in our hemisphere.
• 10:59
  Uh, so it directly affects us a lot more.
• 11:02
  I don't like this current Iran war.
• 11:04
  I didn't like the messaging on the Epstein files, even though they're not a big deal to me, but the messaging was horrible.
• 11:10
  Uh Pam Bondy was a terrible attorney general, no deep state arrests.
• 11:15
  Um, there's quite a few things.
• 11:17
  Well, when we say no deep state of Russia, and I've always questioned our listeners earlier on.
• 11:21
  Uh and I have, but I will stand by this.
• 11:23
  I said, be careful what you think you're gonna get, because you're working with more than just one person.
• 11:28
  You have all of these liberal states that are going to hear these cases.
• 11:33
  You have these activist judges who are more than likely going to shoot it down, which is exactly what they did.
• 11:39
  I never felt for any of that.
• 11:40
  And I always caution people.
• 11:42
  I'm like, don't think that she's gonna be to come in and just arrest all these people when you're going into liberal states.
• 11:50
  None of these cases were brought before any of the red states.
• 11:53
  They were all liberal states, and it was all by design.
• 11:56
  And now that he's gonna get a new attorney general, do we actually think that anything would be done then?
• 12:02
  Doubtful.
• 12:02
  They might be able to hang her on something, but it probably won't be on the charge that we want them to get her on, just like with Jeffrey Epstein.
• 12:09
  I never had Jeffrey Epstein at the top of my list.
• 12:12
  But it was a joke.
• 12:13
  But I found it interesting how people held him accountable, even if Pam Bundy bundled the whole thing.
• 12:19
  This happened under Joe Biden.
• 12:22
  And if Joe Biden wasn't concerned about it, why all at once?
• 12:25
  We go, oh well, Trump Trump.
• 12:26
  Trump isn't perfect.
• 12:27
  And we hear that often also.
• 12:29
  Trump isn't perfect until we want him to be perfect.
• 12:33
  Then we want him to be perfect.
• 12:34
  We hold him to a higher standard.
• 12:36
  Oh, well, he didn't do this, and he didn't do that.
• 12:38
  I'm like, but I thought you said he wasn't perfect.
• 12:40
  Without a doubt, I do believe that he's fighting for America.
• 12:45
  And it goes back to geopolitics.
• 12:47
  And when you look at the grand scheme of things, yes, we can stay in our own little country.
• 12:51
  They say, oh, well, this is it.
• 12:53
  We're gonna be happy.
• 12:54
  No one's gonna bother us, but it doesn't work that way.
• 12:58
  It's working for China.
• 12:59
  They've got, you know, they don't even have as strong of a military as we do, and nobody's bothering them.
• 13:04
  I mean, we are because uh now that's harder for them to get oil.
• 13:08
  Uh well, it's not working for China because China still has to go out and get oil from other countries.
• 13:13
  That's the reason why China was putting that's the reason why China was in our backyard.
• 13:16
  We're not the Venezuela.
• 13:17
  That's the reason why China was going to all these little small countries.
• 13:20
  They don't have the uh energy and uh drilling capabilities that we do, definitely.
• 13:25
  Uh yeah, but more energy independent, but I'm just saying they're not in a bunch of military conflicts, and uh they're just increasing not going into trillions of dollars of debt every year.
• 13:37
  Like, and you know why?
• 13:38
  Because China has bought all these countries.
• 13:40
  You you look at what China has China has done in Sri Lanka.
• 13:44
  Look at what China has done in Africa.
• 13:47
  Look at what China has done in the Caribbean with their footstep, giving these countries money, loaning them money.
• 13:53
  There's a reason behind it.
• 13:55
  So when so that when China says, okay, uh, we don't want you to use the American dollar anymore.
• 14:00
  We want you to use ours.
• 14:01
  I mean, BRICS, I think a lot of people have forgotten about BRICS because it was a lot wasn't said about it.
• 14:07
  But China, Russia, and India, they were making a great push for BRICS.
• 14:13
  You use our currency to devalue the dollar.
• 14:15
  You won't need the dollar.
• 14:16
  You don't do it.
• 14:17
  We say we're gonna make a call on all of our loans.
• 14:19
  We're always talking about the debt that our China has bought our debt.
• 14:22
  And what if China calls in our debt?
• 14:23
  What are we gonna do?
• 14:24
  As if no China would ever call it in.
• 14:28
  Oh, they're gonna call their debt in now.
• 14:29
  I work in finance.
• 14:30
  I'm like, they would never happen.
• 14:31
  But what China would do is call the debt on these other small countries.
• 14:35
  Because what will they do without China?
• 14:37
  If we just turned our back, which is what Barack Obama and Joe Biden did, turn our back on them, let China go in and have their way.
• 14:44
  And that's the reason why we we are where we are today.
• 14:47
  Because a lot of these countries are looking at saying, oh, well, no, let the United States go at it, but go at it by themselves.
• 14:52
  Now imagine how we not gone into Venezuela.
• 14:54
  All these countries would have said, okay, let's just look at China, and China will get us the oil from Venezuela, and we can screw the United States.
• 15:00
  Look at what's happening to Cuba.
• 15:02
  The Monroe doctrine is we controlled the Western Hemisphere, not other countries.
• 15:06
  Well, why in the heck is China in the Western Hemisphere?
• 15:09
  Why are they into Cuba?
• 15:10
  Why are they in Venezuela?
• 15:11
  Why don't they just get their oil from Russia?
• 15:13
  Why don't they just get their oil from Pakistan?
• 15:15
  Why are they going all the way to Venezuela?
• 15:17
  It was by design because they were trying to weaken the United States.
• 15:21
  All the other presidents saw it, they knew what was happening, but they were afraid to stand up.
• 15:25
  We now have a president, President Trump, who has been talking about this for the past 40 years.
• 15:31
  40 years.
• 15:32
  People are saying, oh, he's making it up.
• 15:34
  No, he's not making it up.
• 15:35
  He's talked about this for the past 40 years, and the media knows it.
• 15:40
  And that is a reason why they keep putting out their propaganda.
• 15:43
  Well, did you all vote for this?
• 15:45
  I mean, when I see them on Twitter, well, I find it interesting that they were to tell us what did we vote for?
• 15:50
  Well, when Trump was doing all the good things with the Trump account, when he had all those the countries coming in investing, like I said, we have these factories that are being built.
• 15:58
  But let me ask you this.
• 16:00
  I'm not saying he hasn't done anything good.
• 16:01
  I'm just saying, but did the media dozen things that I don't like that he's done.
• 16:07
  That has happened the past few months.
• 16:09
  Okay.
• 16:10
  And the past 16 months.
• 16:11
  Well, not 16 months.
• 16:12
  We only got into Iran the past six months.
• 16:14
  No, no, but I'm just saying since he took office, there's you know, probably quite a few things that I haven't liked.
• 16:20
  Okay, but has the media the things that he has done?
• 16:23
  Did the media ever ask, did you vote for this?
• 16:27
  No.
• 16:27
  No, the media is as dishonest as it gets, no doubt about it.
• 16:31
  Only when I think Republicans should run on the opposite for these midterms.
• 16:36
  They should say, you know what?
• 16:37
  I know Trump has turned your back, turned his back on you guys, went to war with Iran.
• 16:42
  You said not to vote for Nikki Haley.
• 16:44
  Uh if you if you don't want to war with Iran, and he did it anyways.
• 16:49
  But we're not gonna do that to you guys.
• 16:51
  We're actually America first.
• 16:53
  We believe in putting our country first.
• 16:55
  And uh we're gonna be the change.
• 16:58
  That's the midterm message I would like to see from Republicans.
• 17:01
  But we will discuss that and a lot more when we come back on After Dark with Robin Andrew.
• 17:06
  This break came up quick.
• 17:07
  Uh you can find us on America Out Louds, iHeart Radio Channel along with Spotify, Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, TuneIn Radio, or wherever you listen to your podcast, please be sure to search for America out loud.
• 17:21
  We'll be back with more after dark with Rob and Andrew.
• 17:24

• 19:32
  We're back here on After Dark with Robin.
• 19:36
  Rob and I have just been discussing President Trump's Easter message.
• 19:41
  The Democrats getting up in a hissy over Trump's rhetoric, like we've seen time and time again.
• 19:48
  And then we got into a discussion about uh the war in Iran, uh, whether or not President Trump's fulfilling all of his promises.
• 19:57
  Um obviously, that's unrealistic.
• 20:00
  To expect any president to fulfill all of his promises.
• 20:05
  But my thing for President Trump is just a few months ago.
• 20:10
  I mean, he had gas prices down.
• 20:13
  Things were looking very positive as far as heading into the right direction.
• 20:18
  Then he got us into this ill-advised war, in my opinion.
• 20:23
  And it's a much different situation.
• 20:25
  Rob thinks that it'll be over with soon.
• 20:28
  I don't believe it will be.
• 20:32
  But that remains to be seen.
• 20:34
  So if it's over soon, uh prices go down and everything, like I said, I think President Trump has a chance of rebounding if he uh hopefully puts domestic issues first the last couple years of his uh presidency.
• 20:51
  I think that would be great for JD Vance's chances in 2028 as well.
• 20:56
  But as of now, if the war's still going on, I think the GOP's messaging in midterm needs to be like, look, guys, President Trump has betrayed a lot of us.
• 21:07
  We didn't agree with this war in Iran.
• 21:09
  We know you guys don't like it.
• 21:11
  Uh, but we're not going to do that to you.
• 21:13
  We're actually going to put America first.
• 21:15
  We're going to stop sending this money over to foreign countries.
• 21:19
  Uh, I think that could be a popular uh message for GOP.
• 21:23
  Uh to maybe get back some of these independents.
• 21:26
  I think that'd be a disastrous message to say Trump has betrayed his base.
• 21:30
  I don't think Trump is betrayed his base.
• 21:33
  I think with like any good leader, you have to pivot when you look at what you're up against.
• 21:40
  Um we saw Trump when he came into office in 2016.
• 21:43
  Trump had said a lot of things that you know, we should do things this way, we're gonna do that.
• 21:47
  But then when you actually you're actually looking at power, and you realize that you alone can't make those decisions.
• 21:55
  Remember, he was attacked profusively when he came into office and he did a lot of things by executive order.
• 22:01
  And Democrats said, Oh, you you're doing it by executive order, and you attack Barack Obama for doing the exact same thing because Barack Obama did things by executive order, as opposed to having Congress to pass it, because they realize that it's one thing to say it on the outside, and you have people who say that they're gonna work with you, people being Democrats.
• 22:21
  Oh, we're gonna work with you.
• 22:23
  But then when it's time to put the your feet to the pedal, it's a completely different story because you have all these personalities, people who you assumed were going to do things your way, and they don't.
• 22:36
  Look at uh what's the guy's name uh from Carolina, South Carolina, who it's constantly sometimes, he seems as if though he is a friend of Trump, sometimes he seems as if though he's a foe.
• 22:48
  And you see this is across the board.
• 22:50
  You know, then you realize that you have to go Lindsay Graham, that's his name, Lindsay Graham.
• 22:54
  You realize that you have to make deals, uh, make sometimes making a deal with the devil, uh, because it's better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.
• 23:04
  So when I look at everything that's happening right now, and I've spoken about this before with Iran for decades.
• 23:12
  This country has been a thorn in our side, and people say, Well, they didn't have nuclear weapons, they didn't have they couldn't you enrich uraniums, they don't have anything that could go farther than their own country, and then lo and behold, they launch a missile that hits an island outside of the UK.
• 23:29
  It's like, hello, UK.
• 23:31
  Uh we can uh lob a missile your way.
• 23:34
  And let's say that we said we're gonna do our own little thing.
• 23:37
  And if they were to lobby missile at the UK at UK, Great Britain or whatever you want to call it, would we be obligated to respond to say, oh, we need to help them?
• 23:46
  Well, they're our ally.
• 23:48
  You know, they're part of NATO, and one if you hit one, you hit us all.
• 23:52
  So we would have no other recourse but to go in and defend the feckless, in my opinion, UK, which has been overtaken by uh uh radical form of Islam.
• 24:04
  I don't know if you all saw this weekend, you saw King Charles proclaiming Islam as being this religion of peace as well as a son.
• 24:14
  I mean, he's just been just overtaken by uh Islam.
• 24:18
  And look at the United States.
• 24:20
  The same thing is happening.
• 24:21
  You look at Houston, look at New York City, the Islamification.
• 24:25
  Okay.
• 24:26
  So it just uh I guess what I'm saying is that you go in thinking that you're invincible and you can do all these things.
• 24:36
  But then when you actually enter the job and you start looking at the books and looking at the lay of the land, you see that it's not exactly what you thought it was or it was to be.
• 24:48
  The media knows this.
• 24:50
  The politicians that are there know it.
• 24:52
  But you know what?
• 24:53
  They know that the average person does not know it.
• 24:57
  The average person is not going to do their due diligence and connect the dots.
• 25:01
  The average person is going to say, but why did this person make this move?
• 25:06
  Right.
• 25:06
  They're gonna say, why are we going to another Middle Eastern war after we spent 24 years in Afghanistan?
• 25:14
  Uh over 15 years in Iraq, spent billions of dollars, lost hundreds of American soldiers, and by uh Trump's own words, for what?
• 25:24
  For nothing.
• 25:25
  And uh, as far as I'm concerned, that's exactly what we're doing once again.
• 25:29
  Uh it just doesn't make sense to many of us uh why we're once again intervening in the Middle East.
• 25:35
  We want to be out of the Middle East.
• 25:37
  Um I think it's very unpopular war.
• 25:42
  A lot of the polls coming out are saying it's a very unpopular war.
• 25:46
  Um, hopefully, like like Rob has said in the past, that it's a short confrontation and we move on quickly.
• 25:54
  But uh with all the troops that have been sent over there and asking for so much more money, I just don't see it being over quickly, unfortunately.
• 26:03
  Well, a lot of people saw thought the same thing about the tariffs.
• 26:07
  You even had people on Trump's side saying, I don't like tariffs.
• 26:10
  Steve Moore said I don't like tariffs.
• 26:12
  Jamie Diamond, I don't like tariffs.
• 26:14
  Everyone said I don't like tariffs.
• 26:16
  When he initially mentioned the tariffs last year, I was like, let's see what happens.
• 26:21
  Well, we waited and we saw what happened.
• 26:23
  And it worked.
• 26:25
  I think the same thing with this war.
• 26:28
  And I'm saying war now because I was saying conflict, but I think I had a show discussion on our show last night.
• 26:34
  I'm like, well, if everyone else is saying war, Trump is saying war, albeit only Congress can declare war.
• 26:39
  We don't want to get that mixed up because the media will start spinning that, but only Congress can declare war.
• 26:45
  Uh I think that four decades of Iran.
• 26:52
  A thorn on our side.
• 26:55
  Now we can say, well, they weren't a threat.
• 26:58
  Well, if they weren't a threat, why were they able to lob missiles on an island next to the UK?
• 27:07
  And they missed.
• 27:10
  Well, you say they missed.
• 27:15
  Yes.
• 27:16
  Well, the intent wasn't to necessarily hit them, was just to show them that we can do it.
• 27:21
  So I think that the fact that they were able to do it.
• 27:25
  They've missed that time, but who's not to say that the best time they won't.
• 27:28
  That was our best effort and they missed.
• 27:30
  I don't think well, okay, we can say that, but no one thought they could do it.
• 27:36
  But no one thought they could do it.
• 27:38
  Right.
• 27:39
  I didn't care if they could or not.
• 27:42
  I didn't care if they could or not.
• 27:43
  I want my gas prices down.
• 27:46
  It's only a month.
• 27:48
  We'll see.
• 27:48
  Under up on under Joe Biden.
• 27:51
  Temporary just tip, but temporary, and that's what I always say.
• 27:54
  This is insane, though, the uh price of these gas.
• 27:57
  I mean, it is just a total embarrassment.
• 27:59
  Yeah, but where what do you live?
• 28:00
  You live in Liberalville.
• 28:02
  Well, even in uh like Missouri Missouri, it's expensive as well.
• 28:06
  I mean, it's not just the blue states, it's it's four dollars a gallon is the national average.
• 28:11
  It's 430, it's 430 here, so it's not much more than the national average.
• 28:16
  But a moment.
• 28:18
  I I put 41 dollars in my Honda Civic the other day.
• 28:21
  I've never put more than 40 in my Honda.
• 28:25
  So a moment of discomfort.
• 28:27
  Well, hopefully it's a moment.
• 28:29
  You know, and and see that's one of the things about China, because and this is how they they were able to get ahead the way they're well, it's because I don't agree with this war either.
• 28:38
  So it's discomfort for nothing, uh, in my opinion, you know.
• 28:42
  Exactly, because you don't agree.
• 28:44
  So moments of discomfort to you seem as if though it's a lifetime.
• 28:48
  Right.
• 28:48
  And we've got American troops dying, and I look at all this.
• 28:51
  No, no, no, no, because they didn't.
• 28:53
  I see this 200 billion dollars.
• 28:55
  You don't have American troops dying.
• 28:57
  Well, we've had 14 of them dead.
• 29:00
  Fourteen.
• 29:02
  Yeah, we had 13 die in the initial uh confrontation, and then uh I believe we had a pilot pass away, didn't we?
• 29:10
  No, we didn't have a pilot pass away.
• 29:11
  Okay, so it's 13.
• 29:13
  Okay.
• 29:13
  And wasn't that because of a uh a malfunction they were going to get oil or refuel?
• 29:19
  Well, if we weren't in a conflict, it wouldn't have happened.
• 29:21
  Yeah, but that happens all the time.
• 29:25
  Even during training.
• 29:27
  You don't you think this would have happened if uh we were just training?
• 29:31
  It happens all the time.
• 29:32
  I'm saying when we're well, we're in training.
• 29:34
  Guys, if you hear a dog, I am dog sitting a pit bull.
• 29:38
  Okay, a American bully, not a but American bully.
• 29:41
  And he's very friendly, and I guess he hears something on the outside, and he's decided to talk.
• 29:47
  He wants to be heard.
• 29:48
  So that's the noise that you hear.
• 29:51
  But no, but back to what you're saying, but it happens all the time.
• 29:54
  Troops three to seven US service members killed in Iranian retaliatory.
• 30:00
  Attacks involving missiles and drones on U.S.
• 30:02
  bases across the region.
• 30:04
  Several more injuries from sustained in those attacks.
• 30:09
  March 13th, a US KC 135 real refueling aircraft cast in Western Iraq.
• 30:16
  I believe that's what you're talking about, killing all six crew members.
• 30:20
  So coverage on at least 13 killed and other trackers list up to 14 or 15.
• 30:27
  But you know what?
• 30:28
  This past weekend, more people were killed in Chicago.
• 30:33
  Undoubtedly.
• 30:34
  Than in Iran.
• 30:36
  And I don't hear anyone.
• 30:38
  We we talk about make America first gram, make America great.
• 30:40
  I hear no one talking about how we're going to solve that problem.
• 30:44
  Instead, we allow Democrats to what we should do.
• 30:46
  That's what we should be wanting.
• 30:47
  That's what we should be doing instead of being in the Middle East.
• 30:50
  Yeah, but whenever we start it, whenever we do start it, I don't see the mobilization of Republicans saying no, we're going to go in.
• 30:56
  It's always Trump at it by himself.
• 30:59
  Yeah.
• 31:00
  He does it all by himself.
• 31:01
  So again, I will say a moment of temporary moment of discomfort when we look at his track record and we look at what Trump has done.
• 31:08
  Look at the successes that he has had.
• 31:13
  Uh I'm willing, as I said, I think last week, I'm willing to give him grace.
• 31:17
  Yes, I know his discomfort for you.
• 31:18
  I thank God I don't have a car.
• 31:20
  I might be saying the same thing.
• 31:21
  I write the subway.
• 31:23
  I might be saying the same thing.
• 31:25
  But I I'm willing to give that grace.
• 31:33
  These prices need to come down.
• 31:37
  I'm willing, I'm willing to give him grace.
• 31:41
  Uh to get this done.
• 31:44
  And I think that he's looking at this.
• 31:47
  And me, and one could easily say, well, you know, Trump really could care less as to how things are going to play out.
• 31:54
  Because I mean, we could already say that the MITO is going to be a four is going to be foregone that Democrats are going to win.
• 31:59
  It happens all the time.
• 32:00
  The party in power never wins it.
• 32:02
  But Trump might be able to squeak out a win.
• 32:05
  Who knows?
• 32:06
  But at the same time, I'm I'm not just going to go on a ledge and say, you know, Trump has betrayed his base.
• 32:14
  Because it's more than just you or I.
• 32:16
  I mean, you have MAGA, you have the Republicans, you have the conservatives, you have the even the rhinos.
• 32:23
  So it's a huge base, and there's room for people to criticize, in my opinion.
• 32:30
  But I think at the same time, giving him I just fe feel like he's ditched us for the Lindsay Graham's for the Mark Levins for the Pro War people because this is who he piles around with Laurel Loomer.
• 32:43
  These are people that we always hear that he's talking to.
• 32:46
  Uh and he's a big thing.
• 32:47
  And who's telling you who's telling you that he's not going to be able to do that?
• 32:49
  He's telling people to watch their show.
• 32:51
  Um as opposed to who's showing.
• 32:55
  Uh, like Saturday, he told everyone to make sure they tune in to Mark Levin so Mark Levin could get his big plan on why we should have ground troops.
• 33:02
  Uh that's just the latest example.
• 33:05
  I mean, he's teaming up with the worst people instead of you know the uh America First people that are trying to keep us out of these confrontations.
• 33:13
  And who are the American First people that have shows?
• 33:16
  Oh, yeah.
• 33:17
  I don't know.
• 33:17
  I like like uh I don't really listen to any podcasts anymore, so that's hard for me to say, but uh I like like uh what Tucker Carlson's had to say about the war.
• 33:27
  I thought rather he'd be listening to him than uh uh Lindsay Graham and Mark Levin.
• 33:32
  Uh Lindsay Graham doesn't have a podcast, and Toker Coss has gone to the deep, and he's doing more than just saying talking against the war.
• 33:38
  He's talking about the biggest thing.
• 33:40
  He's talking to all the wrong people is my point, not if they have a show or not.
• 33:44
  Well, if you were to talk to Tucker Carlson, we would definitely question his judgment.
• 33:49
  Oh god, no.
• 33:50
  Toka Calls is completely gone.
• 33:52
  He he's completely gone out in the world.
• 33:54
  He's got way way more sense on this war than President Trump does.
• 33:58
  I I yeah, because he's being paid by Qatar.
• 34:02
  Well, whoever is being paid by uh he's making a lot more sense than President Trump who's changed his story over 20 times than what we're doing over there every other day.
• 34:11
  It's a new narrative.
• 34:13
  Well, I think because of your gas prices, that's the reason why you're saying it.
• 34:16
  Well, I just also read.
• 34:18
  And I could look at it objectively.
• 34:20
  I mean, I'm a big Trump supporter.
• 34:21
  I want Trump to do well, but he's not, in my opinion.
• 34:24
  Right.
• 34:25
  You're but uh again, what has he filled with the world?
• 34:28
  Well, I've been ex Well what has he done?
• 34:31
  I mean, it's been nothing but you know, bad things for us so far.
• 34:36
  So what I said, hopefully it'll be over soon.
• 34:40
  Uh like I just mentioned, we've had 13 dead troops.
• 34:42
  We're spending two billion dollars a day in the Middle East.
• 34:45
  He's asking for 200 billion more, or gas prices are over four dollars a gallon.
• 34:50
  I mean, do I need to keep going?
• 34:52
  Yeah, you need to keep going because I'm not I'm not convinced it's only been a month.
• 34:56
  You say he's asking for more for the war.
• 34:58
  Okay, because when you have when you have the military.
• 35:01
  When you're spending two billion dollars a day, you need a lot more money for it.
• 35:04
  Absolutely.
• 35:05
  Well, I would rather the money go there than the money to go towards some of the things that the Democrats have had the money going toward.
• 35:10
  Right, neither I mean, and then and then you have the and when they try to stop it, where do you have these activist judges to say no you can't stop it, you've got to keep the the spigot going, which makes absolutely no sense.
• 35:20
  So why not spend it on the military?
• 35:23
  Talk about the money for the military.
• 35:24
  I mean, if there's something else that needs to be done, Congress here, Congress can very easily come in and allocate the money for it, but they don't seem to have the appetite to do it.
• 35:33
  So it's more than just to blame Trump and say, Oh, well, Trump is spending all this money.
• 35:36
  Well, that money is allocated for that money, has an allocation for everything that we do here.
• 35:41
  And if Congress feel that we should be doing something else, I should say, hey, well, let's allocate money for health care.
• 35:46
  Let's allocate money for the safe act, but they don't.
• 35:49
  It seems this seems to be the only thing that they will get on board with minus uh Tillis and Paul, Rand Paul.
• 35:56
  I mean, I don't know, and when we say Lindsay Graham, well, because they're war hawks.
• 36:00
  Lindsey Graham is only one person.
• 36:01
  Mark Levin never was doesn't watch Mark Levin.
• 36:04
  He's a loud mouth.
• 36:05
  I'm just saying Trump's telling people to.
• 36:08
  Well, yeah, well, well, that's the only show that's on.
• 36:11
  That's Saturday.
• 36:12
  I'd rather him say watch them.
• 36:13
  He's the only one that's pushing the message he wants them to hear.
• 36:16
  Well, I would rather him say watch them than for them to sit up and watch fake news CNN that are gonna complain and say, well, he's going to Walter Reed, and he's probably died because uh we haven't seen him.
• 36:28
  And why is he going to Walter Reed?
• 36:31
  And he's lost as he they should invoke the 25th Amendment because he's crazy.
• 36:34
  It's like, are you serious?
• 36:36
  So I'd rather them say him say watch Mark Levina than to sit up and watch fake news CNN and the stuff that they're pushing.
• 36:45
  And my humble opinion, Andrew.
• 36:48
  Yeah.
• 36:48
  Um, I'd rather not say to watch either, but that's where we're at.
• 36:54
  Uh Mark Levin uh is definitely pro-Trump when it comes to this Iranian war.
• 36:59
  So uh it makes sense that Trump would push someone that's pushing a message that he's in favor of.
• 37:05
  So uh that makes sense as far as that goes.
• 37:08
  I just wish uh he was far enough into his presidency where he wasn't talking to these people.
• 37:15
  He wasn't associating with these people anymore, especially media figures like Levin and uh some of the others that we see that I think are leading Trump down the long the wrong road because these are people that have always been so detached uh from President Trump's supporters, the forgotten men and women uh that you know he ran on and won the America first message that won him the popular vote over Kamala Harris and uh Mark Levin, Lindsay Graham, people like that did not contribute anything to that, and uh hopefully he realizes that.

  I'm Dr.
• 39:22
  Kelly Victory with the wellness company, and I know this personally.
• 39:40
  So I began asking a different question.

  What can we do daily to support the body before something goes wrong?
• 39:47
  That question led me to formulate SHIELD.

• 40:18
  And I hope you enjoyed the first two halves of the show.
• 40:21
  You see that Andrew and I, we don't always agree on the same thing.
• 40:24
  And that's okay.
• 40:25
  You know, we can have a difference of opinion.
• 40:27
  And we're still MAGA.
• 40:29
  I'm still going to vote for Trump.
• 40:31
  And he's still going to vote for Trump.
• 40:32
  He better vote for Trump.
• 40:33
  He better vote for Republicans.
• 40:34
  He better not find out that Andrew was voting for Democrats.
• 40:37
  No.
• 40:38
  Just kidding.
• 40:39
  But it just goes to show that we can have civil discussions without shutting down the other person.
• 40:47
  Or taking our marbles and saying, I'm going to go home because you didn't agree with me.
• 40:55
  And I don't like your point.
• 40:57
  And I personally think that Trump has done a lot since he's been in office as I rattle off the things that he has done that we people don't talk about and they don't want to talk about it.
• 41:08
  The media doesn't want to talk about it because they know that it gives him credit that he's achieving his goals.
• 41:13
  The only thing they want to talk about is when they think they have a gotcha moment.
• 41:17
  They thought they had a gotcha moment when those two soldiers went down.
• 41:21
  And Heather and I, we spoke about this last night.
• 41:23
  And I do believe, in my humble opinion, that many on the left were hoping that those soldiers would have been captured by Iran so that Iran could have like just used propaganda and paraded them in the streets.
• 41:38
  They say, ha ha ha, look at who we got.
• 41:40
  We've got your soldiers.
• 41:42
  Now what are you going to do about it?
• 41:43
  Now, that would have just completely changed the course of this war.
• 41:47
  Remember, we saw this happen in 1979 under Jimmy Carter when Jimmy went the Iran hostages.
• 41:54
  And they were held for almost 400 days.
• 41:58
  And compliments of Reagan, he was able to get them out.
• 42:01
  The Democrats wanted that moment.
• 42:03
  And they're probably still hoping for that moment that one of our soldiers is captured and that Iran can parade them in the streets.
• 42:10
  Now think about this.
• 42:12
  Americans hoping that our own soldiers would be captured by the enemy and paraded in the streets.
• 42:21
  When was the last time we saw that?
• 42:23
  We saw it in 1979 with Iran.
• 42:25
  We also saw it in Mogadishu.
• 42:28
  Go look at Blackhawk Down.
• 42:30
  And this happened during the Clinton second term.
• 42:33
  They shot down one of our army men in Africa, Mogadishu, and killed a guy, and they paraded his body in the streets.
• 42:43
  Is that what we want to happen again?
• 42:47
  See, there's so much here, a lot of history that a lot of people are completely unaware of, and I keep talking about geopolitics.
• 42:53
  I would encourage you all, study geopolitics, understand what's going on.
• 42:59
  Mogadishu, Blackhawk Down.
• 43:02
  Josh Harnett, I think was the actor who I think his name was Josh Hornett, a Matt Harnett, who was in the movie Blackhawk now.
• 43:11
  You guys have got to watch it because it tells a story, and it's a true story, as I mentioned, as to what happened when our soldiers got caught.
• 43:22
  Yeah, Josh, Josh Hart Hartnett, Blackhawk Down.
• 43:26
  And let me see, what year did that come out?
• 43:30
  Black Hawk.
• 43:33
  I'm just Googling it down.
• 43:34
  2001.
• 43:36
  Watch that movie.
• 43:39
  And it tells a story of what happened to our soldier who was shot down, and how these people paraded his half-dressed nude body in the streets, laughing at us, laughing at us, daring us to do something.
• 43:51
  I think Bill Clinton did eventually uh put some fire on them, but then you had some say, oh no, you can't do it because it's just a little innocent country, and we're gonna outpower them.
• 44:00
  And I mean, my opinion about Iran is go in and level all the mountains down, change the topographic uh set formation of the country.
• 44:09
  Just level it.
• 44:10
  We we gotta stop playing with these guys.
• 44:13
  Just level it and be done with it.
• 44:17
  Level it and be done with it.
• 44:19
  I mean, us constantly changing the goalposts and saying, oh, well, you know, we're gonna give them, and that shows you that Trump has compassion.
• 44:27
  Because he's trying to give them the opportunity to change from their wayward ways, but they don't want to do it, they being Iran.
• 44:38
  So he keeps moving the goalposts, keeps saying, Well, I'm gonna give you 48 hours, I'm gonna give you 24 hours, and I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that.
• 44:45
  And they're not listening.
• 44:49
  They think that they can do whatever the hell they want to do, and that we're not gonna do anything about it.
• 44:58
  I mean, seriously.
• 45:00
  It's like, oh, let's just straight.
• 45:02
  And when they do it, it causes, it gives a left power to say, let's see that Trump, he's checking Trump.
• 45:08
  And then when Trump does something, oh how did he why did he do that?
• 45:11
  How dare Trump does it?
• 45:14
  Like, really?
• 45:15
  So I just I want to go back to Heather and I spoke about this last night, but then Andrew mentioned it when we opened up earlier.
• 45:22
  He said that this was Trump's truth social.
• 45:24
  Trump said, Tuesday would be power plant day and bridge day, all wrapped up in one.
• 45:29
  And Iran, there would be nothing like it.
• 45:32
  Open the F and straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell.
• 45:37
  Just watch.
• 45:38
  Praise be to Allah, President Donald J.
• 45:40
  Trump.
• 45:41
  As I mentioned last night, usually he would say, Thank you for your attention to this matter.
• 45:44
  But I guess he had had it, and he's like, no, I want them to see that I'm serious.
• 45:49
  As I said last night.
• 45:52
  I did not vote for a priest, a minister, a rabbi, or clerk.
• 45:58
  I did not vote for Sunday school teacher.
• 46:02
  I voted for a fighter.
• 46:04
  I voted for Donald Trump to get the job done.
• 46:10
  You might not like what he said.
• 46:15
  And we have presidents who will come out and they'll speak all eloquent, then they'll do something completely different.
• 46:23
  So I'm okay with this.
• 46:26
  And I hate it when the media who don't believe in God whatsoever, many of them, they claim they're Christians, they're just Christians, they hang around the church, but they're not in the church.
• 46:36
  And whenever Trump says something like this, they'll go, oh, he's not a Christian.
• 46:40
  What are the Christians going to think about this?
• 46:41
  It's like, what do you care about the Christians thing?
• 46:43
  The Christians don't like transgender.
• 46:46
  And you attack them for not liking transgender.
• 46:48
  So now you want to turn them against Trump and say, oh, well, look at what Trump said.
• 46:51
  It's like screw you.
• 46:52
  Don't be trying to tell us what to say and what not to say.
• 46:55
  Are you serious?
• 46:57
  See, that's why we have to be careful when when the left is trying to tell us how we should behave and what our emotions should be because they don't care at all.
• 47:07
  They don't give a damn about how you feel, what you're thinking.
• 47:12
  But they want you to think that they do.
• 47:15
  In actuality, they don't.
• 47:17
  And that's the reason why they're coming out here now saying, Did you vote for this?
• 47:22
  Did you vote for this?
• 47:23
  Oh, did you?
• 47:24
  And I would turn it around and say, Yeah, I did.
• 47:27
  So what do you care?
• 47:28
  Did you vote for it?
• 47:30
  They see that's they you see how they do that?
• 47:33
  You see all the social media.
• 47:34
  Did you vote for yes?
• 47:35
  Hell yeah, I voted for this, and then some.
• 47:38
  And I voted for him to remove your candy arse out of here because you're fake media.
• 47:44
  So, yes, I voted for this.
• 47:47
  So, what Trump is saying, all you that are clutching your pearls like Tucker Carlson.
• 47:51
  Oh, and he said this on Easter Sunday.
• 47:54
  I mean, that little girlish laugh.
• 47:56
  I hate when he does that.
• 47:57
  Is it though he says something that you didn't know?
• 48:00
  Tucker has just completely disappointed many of us.
• 48:05
  Because when he got the boot from Fox, a lot of us said we're gonna continue to listen to him, we're gonna follow him, and we did.
• 48:14
  But as I've said before, the field has become so crowded with Tucker, Megan Kelly, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, who's completely out there, and so many other influencers who are trying to gain power, who are trying to remain relevant.
• 48:31
  That's it.
• 48:32
  They want to be relevant.
• 48:34
  And it's difficult to be relevant if you're saying the exact same thing.
• 48:39
  So you want to spice it up.
• 48:41
  You want to switch it up.
• 48:43
  And we here MAGA Republicans have to be careful with how they're doing it.
• 48:47
  I I mentioned this the other night to Brandon Stracka, he was at CPAC, and he talked about this as to how they're trying to divide us with all these different influencers who have who've gone into their little corners and they're saying, hey, listen to me, I'm what's right.
• 49:04
  Look at Candace Owens.
• 49:05
  She now came out and said they should remove Trump from office.
• 49:10
  Candace Owen is the same one who can claim that Erica Kirk might have killed Charlie Kirk and she was cheating on Charlie Kirk and that Israel killed Charlie Kirk.
• 49:19
  All this way out there nonsense that a lot of you are buying.
• 49:23
  Well, she's going to the bank counting her dollars, making millions off this, or hundreds.
• 49:28
  And you guys, oh no, I believe can't.
• 49:30
  No.
• 49:31
  I call this from day one when Candace got into it with another uh influencer, Kim Klaasick, a fellow journalist.
• 49:39
  They got into it.
• 49:40
  Candace was saying that she was a stripper, she was a poet.
• 49:42
  And I'm thinking Candace, where he come on.
• 49:45
  I mean, she gets real nasty at times.
• 49:49
  And I at that point, I'm like, hmm, there's something about her that I don't care for.
• 49:55
  Fast forward, she's proven to me what it was.
• 49:58
  She's showing me who she really is.
• 50:02
  She will say and do anything for a buck.
• 50:06
  No, some of the things she says is right.
• 50:08
  But then when she starts trying to attack a grieving widow, because she was in love with her husband at one point, and then she's dragging you guys down there with her.
• 50:18
  Makes no sense.
• 50:19
  Remember when she came up with this whole thing with uh Macron's wife saying that she was a man?
• 50:24
  I don't know how this is going to end, but if she loses that, I hooray.
• 50:28
  Remember, she got in tune with Cardi B.
• 50:30
  She's constantly picking fights with people to remain relevant.
• 50:36
  And for some of you who will say, oh no, I believe her, and I'm standing by her because Charlie said to question everything.
• 50:42
  Yeah, he did to say question everything, but he didn't say be a fool.
• 50:45
  Okay.
• 50:46
  Let's just be honest here.
• 50:47
  He didn't say be a fool.
• 50:49
  And she has many of you going down her rabbit hole of foolery, tomfoolery.
• 50:55
  Which makes no sense.
• 50:58
  Okay, this woman is completely out of it.
• 51:02
  But she's trying to make a stake in this fast moving world so that people will listen to her.
• 51:10
  Now just just watch.
• 51:12
  When the election comes, it will be Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, and Megan Kelly, maybe not as much Megan Kelly, but definitely Tucker Carlson and Candace Oids.
• 51:19
  They're going to try to tell you who to vote for.
• 51:21
  They're going to throw their weight behind a candidate to see if you're going to follow it.
• 51:25
  Mark my word.
• 51:26
  I've seen these people before.
• 51:28
  I've studied these people.
• 51:29
  I've been in the rooms with these people.
• 51:31
  This is how they operate.
• 51:33
  They're going to even bring up this tweet or truth that Trump did.
• 51:38
  Oh, he was cursing.
• 51:39
  He was doing this.
• 51:40
  And never mind you that these people curse all the time.
• 51:42
  As if though they're saints.
• 51:43
  Like, please.
• 51:44
  And what I hear, oh, that's not presidential.
• 51:46
  Then please define what presidential is.
• 51:48
  Please don't tell me Joe Biden or Barack Obama.
• 51:51
  Because you don't know what they were doing behind closed doors.
• 51:54
  Okay, so please, Trump is not a saint.
• 51:58
  Where we're all striving to for perfection.
• 52:02
  And when you guys start trying to put these labels, oh, I can't believe this.
• 52:05
  It's like, are you serious?
• 52:06
  Are you gonna let something like that take pull you away from the movement?
• 52:11
  And what are you gonna go do?
• 52:12
  Vote for the Democrats who want who believe in trans and which is a mental illness.
• 52:19
  Because if you don't vote for our candidate, you're just giving them a leg up.
• 52:23
  I'm just being honest because I'm tired of people.
• 52:26
  I'm tired of spoon feeding people, I'm tired of giving them water and milk.
• 52:30
  It's time for you to give you some meat.
• 52:33
  Something of substance, something that you could check yourself on.
• 52:37
  Seriously, look in the mirror and check yourself.
• 52:40
  Trump has not changed.
• 52:42
  Okay.
• 52:43
  Some of the players have changed.
• 52:46
  And when you look at the whole picture, as I was mentioned to Andrew, you know, looking at the whole picture of things, as we both said, you know, yeah, you have your this is what I want, and you vote for that, but you got to realize that there's a whole big picture out there to make this work a big puzzle, to make it work.
• 53:04
  In order for things to move forward.
• 53:08
  So this whole thing with, you know, Trump is disappointing me and this, and you're listening to these social media influencers, and you're making basing your opinion on it, I would say, don't do it and don't be deceived.
• 53:21
  Don't allow them to deceive you.
• 53:23
  Don't allow them to get your mind all twisted because of the things that they're saying and that they're doing, which is what they want to do.
• 53:32
  And once they have it, oh, they're gonna run with it and they'll put you on their merry-go-round or on their fairest will.
• 53:40
  And when you say, Oh, it's time for me to get off because I'm getting sick, motion sickness, oh, good luck with that.
• 53:46
  They're not going to let you walk.
• 53:48
  They're not gonna let you go.
• 53:49
  They're gonna keep you on their fairest will.
• 53:55
  And they're gonna say, sit back and enjoy the ride.
• 53:58
  And by the time you get off, you're gonna be so completely out of it and so sick and puking up all over, and they're just gonna move on to the next topic.
• 54:07
  Because that's how they operate.
• 54:10
  So, as I said, this little truth that Trump sent out didn't phase me at all, didn't care about it.
• 54:16
  I looked at it and I said, okay, this is what I'm this is what I voted for.
• 54:20
  And uh, if anything, I wish she would stop telling them, well, I'm gonna give you a little more time.
• 54:24
  No, go ahead and bomb them.
• 54:27
  Bomb them.
• 54:28
  You know, bomb them.
• 54:30
  I mean, just level the place.
• 54:33
  No, no, I'm not saying to bomb the citizens because I'm concerned about the Iranian citizens.
• 54:38
  But at some point, these people have gotta, they've got to stand up and fight for their democracy.
• 54:45
  And and something else here, you know, uh, we talked, we talked about our allies and Great Britain and these other countries that aren't doing anything.
• 54:54
  You know, we had Starmer to come out the other day and say, This is not our war, this is yeah, but it's your oil.
• 55:00
  Look at the troops that we have protecting Japan and South Korea.
• 55:05
  And they won't come out and work with us in those moments of truths.
• 55:11
  Again, understanding geopolitics, why are we there?
• 55:14
  How do we get there?
• 55:17
  We can't let one play one country dominate the entire overseas area.
• 55:24
  Because if we do, it is gonna impact us because remember, we have trade, we do trade there, and I guess something else people don't understand.
• 55:31
  We're trading all over.
• 55:34
  And if we just give it up, oh, you talk about high guys, gas prices, oh, prices, everything else is gonna go up.
• 55:41
  So we have to have a presence in these areas that we do business in.
• 55:48
  You might not like it, but it's the price of being in the world.
• 55:53
  That's all it is.
• 55:55
  So, folks, I hope you enjoyed the show.
• 55:57
  I hope you enjoyed the first half of the show with Andrew and I giving you our opinions on as to what's going on.
• 56:04
  And uh, I don't think that you know the question we put out there has Trump betrayed his base?
• 56:09
  No, not at all.
• 56:10
  In my opinion, he has not betrayed his base.
• 56:13
  He's doing exactly what he's supposed to do.
• 56:15
  Put America first, and you can't put America first.
• 56:18
  Well, we're doing business overseas, we're doing business in China, we're doing business in India and all these other places.
• 56:24
  Because if China were to take over, let's say, have more influence than we do over India or Taiwan or Japan, then they can up the prices in a lot of our goods that we ship overseas.
• 56:35
  Just like when we found out that they have all our antibiotics.
• 56:38
  So putting America first is not just being here in America in isolation.
• 56:42
  Look at the entire picture.
• 56:44
  That's all that I have.
• 56:45
  Thank you for tuning in to After Dark on the America Outlaw.news network.
• 56:50
  Tune in again tomorrow night for another show, same place and same time as we always say.
• 56:54
