Get MACED - The EASIEST Questions in Politics ｜ Nancy Mace

00:00:00.000 Good evening. I'm Congresswoman Nancy Mace, and you're just now tuning into the Get Maced podcast.

00:00:05.540 And if you're not following, please subscribe now. We are so very, very, very close to hitting

00:00:11.800 70,000 subscribers on YouTube, and I would like you to be the very next one. Tonight's episode

00:00:18.580 is all about questions in politics and the people who can't answer them. And every question we're

00:00:27.840 going to go over tonight has a yes or no answer. So keep count tonight. In full disclosure,

00:00:34.680 I'm a congresswoman. I'm currently, I have three months left as a sitting house member in the

00:00:39.460 House of Representatives. So I'm a politician. I've dodged a yes or no question a time or two

00:00:44.540 myself. I know something about this. And at the end, we're going to talk about how to discuss

00:00:49.560 the Iran war since it's been all over the news this week since Iran doesn't want to talk about

00:00:55.140 ending it until after the election. And well, we're going to talk about it in plain English

00:01:00.460 and why we want it to end and end now. So two people want to be the future Democrat leader.

00:01:09.660 There are two people that want to be the future of the Democrat Party. One of them held a round

00:01:14.040 table for moms this week, and that would be Kamala Harris. Make sure you say her name 1.00

00:01:18.500 the right way. She held a mom's round table, but couldn't say the word mom.

00:01:26.120 And the other one wants to put Chuck Schumer in a dunce cap.

00:01:29.120 We'll start with the easy one first. 1.00

00:01:32.500 Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:01:34.480 Kamala Harris is back on the campaign trail. 1.00

00:01:37.460 Imagine that failed presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:01:42.440 She was in Michigan this week, then she's headed to Nebraska and Georgia, thinking about 2028. 0.75

00:01:49.520 They all are. Pete Buttigieg is on the campaign trail.

00:01:52.600 Gavin Newsom is on the campaign trail.

00:01:55.140 Gavin says he's not going to run if Kamala runs.

00:01:59.640 Now, I don't believe one word of that.

00:02:02.460 I think Gavin is running no matter what.

00:02:05.220 I do think Gavin and Kamala split the votes, are both from California.

00:02:08.940 But that's another conversation for another podcast. 1.00

00:02:11.720 But Kamala was in Detroit this week, and she held a roundtable with black women, black 0.99

00:02:17.940 moms, black mothers, on black maternal health, since they say they're all going to die. 0.89

00:02:23.700 and she was with al abdul al-sayed the democrat nominee for the u.s senate the guy that hangs out 0.98

00:02:29.880 with hassan parker who is the guy that thinks that america deserved 9-11 hassan parker also

00:02:34.940 this week said he wants a cultural revolution in the democrat party uh that would be more like

00:02:41.680 mal out of china china communist party where millions of people died we'll talk about that 0.97

00:02:45.740 tonight uh roll the clip more black women are going to die that's right and we have to say 0.98

00:02:51.300 that so plainly. And I believe you bring more than the talk and more than the promise. And that's 1.00

00:02:57.300 what the people of Michigan need from you, from our leaders. That's what black women and black 0.68

00:03:03.500 birthing people need in order to move themselves forward, their families forward, their communities 0.94

00:03:10.400 forward, the state forward, and this country forward. We're talking about the first female 0.99

00:03:16.100 vice president of the United States Kamala Harris and they're talking about black birthing people 0.52

00:03:22.320 and Kamala just sits there and nods her head like all of this is normal she's the first female adult

00:03:28.700 human female vice president she sits there and says nothing this is what I don't get about the 1.00

00:03:34.680 feminist movement women fought for hundreds of years for generations to hold jobs leave the house 1.00

00:03:41.200 be able to stay home and have kids be able to go to work have the right to vote which we got just 1.00

00:03:45.240 over 100 years ago. And we can't even define the word woman. I mean, you and I can because we're 1.00

00:03:51.460 normal people. But the left, the Democrat Party can't even define woman. And here you have the 0.95

00:03:57.320 first female vice president, it just sits there nodding your head to black birthing people. It's 1.00

00:04:03.160 so disrespectful to black people, so disrespectful to mothers, it's disrespectful to women. And the 1.00

00:04:08.260 feminists just sit there and nod their heads. It's wrong. But the dictionary definition, 1.00

00:04:15.880 if you go look it up, pull out your Miriam's Webster dictionary, there's three words. It says

00:04:20.280 adult, human, female. That's how it defines woman in the dictionary. That's what we are. If you have

00:04:26.320 ovaries, you're a woman. If you have a uterus, you're a woman. If you have a cervix, you're a 0.83

00:04:30.820 woman. If you don't have any of those things, you're not a woman. Doesn't matter how much 0.96

00:04:34.400 makeup you put on. We're not birthing people. We have children. This one should be easy for the 1.00

00:04:39.540 first woman female vice president, adult human female. And full disclosure, I was the first

00:04:44.240 female graduate of the Citadel Corps of Cadets back in 1999. I wore a skirt at graduation because

00:04:51.180 I wanted to remind people that I was a real bonafide woman crossing that stage in a skirt

00:04:58.980 and all. And nobody had any trouble figuring out I was a woman when I was in school. This

00:05:03.240 trans thing was not a thing. Men pretending to women to be women was not a thing. Men were not 1.00

00:05:09.120 trying to invade our bathrooms back then or our locker rooms or our showers. None of this nonsense

00:05:13.840 was happening. Cross-dressers existed, but those were for the dark corners of some dark street and 1.00

00:05:19.120 some dark alley across town. I'm a mom and nobody in the delivery room called me birthing person,

00:05:26.740 white birthing person. No one ever said that. They called me other names, other things in the

00:05:32.660 the delivery room maybe crazy because i didn't have painkillers i had no epidural when i had 0.74

00:05:37.940 my kids i had them naturally um but she was the first woman vice president a mom herself and so 1.00

00:05:44.460 she should kamala should be able to say mother and she just can't bring herself to do that and

00:05:50.040 the 2024 race that's what stuck with her the ad that took down kamala harris all the pundits say

00:05:57.060 And the 2024 presidential election was an ad that said Kamala is for they, them, and President Trump is for you. That's the ad that took down Kamala Harris.

00:06:10.500 And there was a political consultant, Democrat strategist, that said if she runs again in the

00:06:15.240 2028 cycle, she has to say, quote, I've rethought some things. She's got to get back to normal

00:06:22.760 on women's issues if she wants to be the president of the United States. And Tuesday was Kamala was 1.00

00:06:30.160 in a room full of moms. She didn't rethink anything. She couldn't rethink anything. There

00:06:35.740 were no thoughts. She had an opportunity to rethink it, and she chose not to. She had the

00:06:42.400 chance to do it on camera, and Kamala Harris asked, and this isn't about being mean to anyone.

00:06:50.300 I was called a bully this week. I'm not a bully. I'm just a woman standing up for women's rights.

00:06:55.800 The men who can't protect women, those are the bullies. Calling a woman standing up for women's 0.85

00:07:00.260 rights makes you the bully. And I'm talking to you, the reporter at Reason magazine, calling me

00:07:07.420 a bully because I pointed out that Congressman Sarah McBride, whose real name is Tim McBride,

00:07:13.540 he was born Tim McBride. He cosplays as a woman. He dresses as a woman. He has long hair, wears 0.76

00:07:18.820 makeup and thinks he's a woman. And I'm just going to blanket diagnose everyone. Every man who thinks

00:07:24.680 he's a woman, has a mental issue. They've got mental illness. There used to be hospitals for 1.00

00:07:31.040 this and instead he's lauded as a feminist hero or something. I just simply pointed out that he

00:07:36.860 was a man. There's nothing that makes any woman a bully by pointing out she is actually a he.

00:07:48.980 It's not bullying to use he, him for a male.

00:07:55.220 You said to use pronouns, and we're using the proper pronouns, the conservatives on the right. 0.97

00:08:00.520 So, ladies, don't allow bullies on the left to bully you into submission, to bully you into silence, 0.90

00:08:09.780 simply for standing up for your rights. 1.00

00:08:11.300 Push back.

00:08:13.640 They're the bullies, not you.

00:08:15.240 you're standing up for your kids, your daughters, your granddaughters, yourself. Don't allow these

00:08:20.780 men, mentally ill men, to invade our spaces. They're for us. So adults can live their lives. 1.00

00:08:26.360 I've argued, and I've gotten in trouble for this with the right, that it's a First Amendment right

00:08:31.400 to dress however you want. Tim McBride can put on a dress. He can put on makeup. He can wear high

00:08:35.620 heels to work. I don't really care. But that doesn't make him a woman. That doesn't make him,

00:08:41.000 give him the ability to invade our spaces, come into our bathroom or our locker room.

00:08:45.240 or our sports. That's not what that does. He's just a cross-dresser. He's just mistaken.

00:08:52.720 So I'm not being mean. Pointing out the truth, pointing out science, pointing out biology,

00:08:57.540 pointing out common sense isn't being mean. It's being real. And when we lose sight of that,

00:09:03.600 that's when bad things happen. So ladies, be louder. I write about women's safety laws. I 1.00

00:09:10.220 write legislation to protect women and girls and women's sports. And my whole thing is that

00:09:15.880 you can't protect women if you don't know what they are. You can't protect women if you can't

00:09:22.760 define them. How do you explain you're for women in protecting their rights if you can't explain 1.00

00:09:28.900 who they are, if you can't define one? So on Tuesday, Kamala was in Michigan campaigning.

00:09:35.320 she was with senate candidate abdul al-sayed a jihad adjacent democrat nominated senate candidate

00:09:43.060 who uh who doesn't think he's a socialist but running on socialist policies and socialist

00:09:48.620 ideology he hangs out with some interesting people al-sayed did a did a rally did a rally

00:09:54.520 with a streamer named hassan piker and then he backed away from him piker said hassan asked him

00:10:01.960 to stump for him. And then Al-Sayed said, well, that was a mistake. Weeks out from a general

00:10:08.860 election, Abdul finds the courage to say campaigning with Hassan Piker was a mistake.

00:10:14.180 Now, in 2024, after Harris, his own deputy campaign manager, said we should have more

00:10:20.380 Hassan Piker, so let's meet Hassan Piker. He is a Democrat streamer. He has millions of fans.

00:10:27.440 He said America deserved 9-11.

00:10:31.080 He has the Twin Towers hanging up in a framed photo in his office.

00:10:37.780 This is what he said this week.

00:10:39.340 And I quote, he said, I want Chinese-style communism to happen inside the Democratic Party right now. 0.79

00:10:47.840 I will throw you in prison, okay? 0.95

00:10:51.040 I want to put you physically behind a prison. 0.98

00:10:55.300 i want chinese style communism to happen inside of the democratic party right now okay i want to 0.99

00:11:02.480 do cultural revolution shit when i see that okay we're doing a struggle session i want to do 0.96

00:11:09.520 cultural revolution shit he said then he says he wants to have a struggle session with chuck schumer 0.99

00:11:15.840 and throw tomatoes at him most of his fans have no idea what he's talking about i want to do 0.99

00:11:21.120 cultural revolution shit when i see that okay we're doing a struggle session chuck schumer 1.00

00:11:27.640 get on the fucking cuck stage okay people can now throw their old tomatoes at cuck schumer 1.00

00:11:34.340 get on the cuck stage now explain to us your counter-revolutionary behavior 1.00

00:11:42.260 right now cuck schumer they have no idea what he means by cultural revolution so

00:11:49.360 let's do a quick history. Let's do a quick history lesson. Cultural revolution that Hassan

00:11:54.920 Piker is referencing sounds like it's a music festival. It's not. It's actually a period of time

00:12:01.100 where tens of millions of Chinese people died. This was a time from 1966 to 1976. Mao was in

00:12:09.280 charge. Mao's plan to fix the economy meant that he was going to starve and did tens of millions

00:12:16.140 of people. His own party pushed him aside, so Mal turned the kids loose. Teenagers are called

00:12:22.920 the Red Guards. First on their list were their own teachers. A crowd drags you on stage,

00:12:30.520 dunce cap on your head, a sign around your neck. You bow, you confess, they scream at you

00:12:37.680 a lot of times, and then they beat you. In 1966, students said this to their vice principal

00:12:44.640 at a girls' school in Beijing.

00:12:49.720 And the vice principal died that day.

00:12:53.180 Hundreds of thousands dead overall, maybe two million, maybe more.

00:12:58.220 And that's, when he's referencing that, when Hassan Piker says that,

00:13:02.920 that's what he wants to do to Chuck Schumer.

00:13:06.340 This is a dangerous guy because when you give these people ideas,

00:13:10.220 they might actually do it.

00:13:12.380 The man who runs China right now, his name is Xi Jinping.

00:13:16.540 His dad got purged.

00:13:18.940 Xi got sent to a farm as a teenager and lived in a cave.

00:13:23.060 The dictator of China lived through the thing Hassan wants here.

00:13:26.220 Xi Jinping lived through Mao in the 60s and 70s.

00:13:30.040 And even China's Communist Party says Mao's tenure was an effing disaster.

00:13:38.900 They put that in writing in 1981.

00:13:40.780 one. They said it was terrible. Hassan Piker. Hassan Piker is to the left of the Chinese

00:13:48.020 Communist Party. How does he still have a blue American passport? Why do we still let this guy

00:13:56.560 in? Why do we let him stay here? Send him to China. I mean, I don't know who would take him,

00:14:04.520 quite honestly. I don't even think Egypt would take him. I bet Iran would. Iran would take

00:14:08.060 Hassan Piker, probably with open arms. In America, the way that you beat Chuck Schumer isn't by

00:14:14.300 beating him, literally. Beat him at the ballot box. Do it with votes. Not tomatoes, not with fists.

00:14:19.520 One won't answer the easiest question in politics. The other one wants China's worst 0.95

00:14:23.460 decade. This is who Democrats are campaigning with, the guy who wants China's worst decade.

00:14:29.380 So Al-Sayed was campaigning this week. Al-Sayed was on a college campus, and an Iranian-American

00:14:37.140 student walks up to the microphone to ask him a question. This Iranian American says his family

00:14:45.060 was hunted down by the IRGC. For those of you that don't know what the IRGC is, we're talking

00:14:51.100 about Iran's Revolutionary Guard. We're talking about the terrorists, the actual terrorists in

00:14:59.300 Iran. This is the IRGC. They have murdered tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of political

00:15:05.800 prisoners over the years they stone women to death for the crime of showing their hair

00:15:12.040 if you speak out you're dead the irgc will kill you and the student comes up and says that the

00:15:21.460 regime killed tens of thousands of protesters and then the terror that we've experienced is 0.97

00:15:28.520 insurmountable and you can imagine our surprise as persians our sadness when we heard you abdul

00:15:35.040 a leaked audio tape of you saying that you didn't want to comment on Supreme Leader Khamenei's death

00:15:40.860 and that the people in Dearborn were sad when he died.

00:15:44.940 And I just have a simple question, Abdul.

00:15:46.980 He asked a question of Abdul El-Sayed.

00:15:49.540 You want to know what the question was?

00:15:52.080 Will you stand against the IRGC?

00:15:56.620 This was a yes or no question.

00:15:59.960 It was that simple.

00:16:01.700 I haven't said it, though. We're dying.

00:16:03.240 I heard you stand with us and I will always stand like I told you I will always stand

00:16:08.980 with movements for freedom and democracy but again I want to be careful because how many

00:16:16.240 times were you taking down a path to war that we could not get ourselves out of

00:16:19.540 trillions of dollars in losses yes or no are you against the IRGC are you against a terrorist

00:16:24.820 organization are you against the terrorist Iranian regime that was the question simple

00:16:31.840 question, yes or no. You know what your answer would be. I know what my answer would be.

00:16:38.340 Roll the tape. So when it comes down to it, I will always stand for and with democratic

00:16:44.580 movements, always. But I also don't believe that we were in the right to go to war to topple

00:16:50.700 the government of Iran. It was not our responsibility to do it. It is the

00:16:55.620 responsibility of the people of Iran to decide what their leadership should look like.

00:16:59.640 Al-Sayed said, I quote, I'm going to read it to you.

00:17:02.480 He said, I will stand, I will always stand with movements for freedom and democracy.

00:17:08.160 And then he said, quote, we should not be in the business of regime change.

00:17:12.580 Then he was asked about the IRGC and he answered about America.

00:17:16.140 He didn't give an answer.

00:17:18.420 Will you push back?

00:17:19.580 Will you decry the IRGC?

00:17:22.660 The question was exactly, will you stand against the IRGC?

00:17:28.800 that was the student's question. It was a yes or no question, El-Sayed. Abdul El-Sayed,

00:17:36.500 instead of answering yes or no, he gave a TED Talk to an Iranian-American citizen who knows

00:17:43.100 firsthand how bad the IRGC is. Abdul was ignorant. Abdul was too afraid of the mob, 0.99

00:17:49.960 too afraid of the commies, too afraid of the jihadist adjacent Democrats in his party

00:17:55.900 to push back against a terrorist regime. 0.66

00:17:58.880 So afterward, his campaign had to go clean it up.

00:18:02.080 And they said, Abdul El-Sayed condemns government's anti-speech violence.

00:18:09.220 Murder is not anti-speech violence.

00:18:12.240 We're talking about political assassinations,

00:18:14.680 the assassinations of women for not wearing hijab or a burqa or a naqab

00:18:18.480 or just for the crime of showing their hair.

00:18:20.940 They're murdering women who speak out.

00:18:22.200 They weren't murdering men too.

00:18:24.300 So he's against these anti-free speech violence.

00:18:28.540 Ugh.

00:18:30.680 That's how you describe a heckler at a comedy club, not a terrorist.

00:18:34.220 The IRGC doesn't heckle, they just execute you.

00:18:37.740 They just execute the political prisoners.

00:18:39.920 Our own government has called the IRGC a terrorist organization since 2019.

00:18:44.900 Abdul al-Sayed couldn't bring himself to do the same.

00:18:48.220 This is not rocket science, Abdul.

00:18:50.080 This is actually very easy.

00:18:51.520 but speaking of iran and america i want this war over and i want it over yesterday i i voted for

00:19:01.980 the war powers resolution it came out of the house there were seven republicans seven of us

00:19:06.960 that voted for the war powers resolution it goes to the senate the senate needs to vote on it before

00:19:11.120 the next election and i said it this morning again over again we got to end this war now and

00:19:19.340 not after the election. I oppose waiting until after the election to end the Iranian war.

00:19:25.940 We need to end it now. Just be done with it. And I can still say this in one breath, 1.00

00:19:30.700 and the IRGC is still a terrorist organization. You can be against the war and be against the IRGC.

00:19:36.640 The two are not the same. You don't have to conflate the two. And the student only asked

00:19:45.280 Abdul Al-Sayed to say the second part. So earlier this year in leaked audio, Abdul Al-Sayed said he

00:19:51.160 didn't want to comment on the death of the Iran's terrorist regime leader, the Ayatollah, because

00:19:55.580 there would be a lot of people in Dearborn who would be upset about the death of the Ayatollah. 0.98

00:19:59.240 Why the f*** are these people here? Why the f*** are they in Dearborn, Michigan? Why did we let 0.99

00:20:05.000 them in? And then why did we let them in and let them stay? Why do we have the suicidal empathy

00:20:11.200 in this country. Why is this okay? This is going to be, they chant death to America

00:20:17.340 in Michigan. Yeah, they're right. This is death to America, allowing these people in. Eventually,

00:20:24.380 it will lead to all of our deaths. So Abdul El-Sayed is running to represent Michigan in

00:20:29.500 the U.S. Senate, and that includes Iranian Americans whose families were murdered and

00:20:35.700 imprisoned by the Iranian regime. Got to imagine there are quite a few Iranian Americans in

00:20:42.640 Michigan, and this guy can't even say one bad word about a terrorist organization in Iran.

00:20:52.040 These Iranian Americans, many of whom their families were hunted by the IRGC, and Abdul

00:20:56.700 al-Sayed can't say one bad word about it. This is the same guy. Abdul al-Sayed is the same guy

00:21:06.380 that Kamala Harris was campaigning with on Tuesday. Man, it is just a complete fucking 1.00

00:21:13.340 dumpster fire in the Democrat Party right now. Abdul al-Sayed changed the subject on that 0.99

00:21:21.180 Iranian-American student, that Iranian-American student and his family will never get to change 0.60

00:21:27.980 the subject. So the question is still open, Abdul, the IRGC, terrorist organization or not?

00:21:34.180 Speaking of Iran, let's talk about how to end this war.

00:21:40.520 Now, we've been at war with Iran for seven months. Gas is at about today, right now, 0.59

00:21:45.400 $4.47 a gallon. It's actually higher than that in South Carolina for 87 unleaded, the least

00:21:52.700 expensive one. Diesel's up to $6.50 plus these days. And about a fifth of the world's oil usually

00:22:00.560 moves through one strip of water and it's mostly shut. The Strait of Wormuz right now is shut,

00:22:05.740 mostly shut. I posted this morning I wanted the war to end now, not after the election. I don't

00:22:10.860 want us to wait another day. And most many of the comments, they were good questions in the

00:22:16.440 comments. They asked, how do you win the war? A lot of people want to know, can't you just take

00:22:21.380 can't you just do sanctions and leave? The problem with that theory, and in theory, it sounds good.

00:22:27.720 And I agree with you. I wish we could just do sanctions and get the hell out of there. But

00:22:32.620 the problem is that sanctions don't work. And now that we're in this thing, how the hell do we get

00:22:37.040 out. And Tuesday at the U.N., our envoys, we had Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner in New York at

00:22:44.260 the U.N. General Assembly, UNGA. How was that conversation, Mr. President? About an hour ago.

00:22:50.540 Okay. How was that? It ended an hour ago. It was a meeting that lasted for three hours. It ended

00:22:56.800 an hour ago. What was that? It was a very good meeting. I mean, I must say it's very good. I

00:23:01.840 can't imagine why they wouldn't want to do it it's a greatness potential greatness or obliteration

00:23:09.680 they spent three hours in talks with iran's foreign minister uh qatar and oman passed messages

00:23:15.440 between the two groups um and the president said that it went very well he also told iran to make

00:23:23.520 a dealer face total annihilation full destruction both can be true and that's what we call leverage 0.99

00:23:32.320 in this country when you're negotiating do i annihilate the islamic republic and do it quickly 0.99

00:23:39.040 never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again do i drive them into 1.00

00:23:46.800 hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations but i believe

00:23:54.160 we'll make a deal right after the election so far 18 americans have been killed maybe more

00:24:02.160 33.4 billion alone has been spent in the first four months of the war i think it's significantly

00:24:07.040 higher than that and before the war about 125 big ships a day went through the straight of

00:24:13.600 of Ormuz. 125 giant tankers went through the Strait of Ormuz every single day. On Monday,

00:24:23.980 there were two ships that made it through the Strait of Ormuz. This is going to be cataclysmic.

00:24:30.760 Every week that the Strait of Ormuz stays shut, you pay for it. At the pump, you pay for it when

00:24:35.240 you go to the grocery store. This is what Iran wants. Iran wants our Navy to stop blockading 1.00

00:24:42.680 their ports. They want their money that's frozen back. It's about $24 billion in assets they're

00:24:49.420 talking about. They want all of that money up front. And new this week, they want Yemen

00:24:54.880 added to the deal. And that wasn't in the last bit in negotiation. They want Yemen. They're not

00:25:01.400 getting Yemen. The Saudis are going to have to step up there in a big way. Negotiating with Iran 0.98

00:25:08.060 is like buying a used car. You agree on a price and then they up the price. They changed the 1.00

00:25:16.280 goalposts. It's like a bad X, but worse because they kill people. They're terrorists. We want

00:25:22.580 the attacks on our troops and our bases to stop and our allies. Everything else is up for

00:25:27.100 negotiation. The plan, I think you get several steps to a plan, an exit strategy, an off-ramp

00:25:33.760 for the president in this thing. One, stop shooting. If Iran will stop shooting, then we can

00:25:39.280 have a real 30-day ceasefire. And if Israel doesn't egg them on or fire back, I mean, they can fire 0.90

00:25:47.280 back. If they're fired upon, they should fire back. But if Iran can stop shooting, a lot can get done

00:25:52.400 in the next 30 days. Qatar and Oman are already carrying messages back and forth. Step two,

00:25:58.400 take the meeting. The president should meet with Iran's president. Iran's president is in New York

00:26:04.620 this week. I think meeting face-to-face would go a long way if we could do that with Iran.

00:26:11.260 The president is the master negotiator. He's built a billion-dollar business, a billion-dollar empire

00:26:18.480 negotiating deals. I think he can negotiate our way out of this one. The next step, the money

00:26:25.620 never touches Tehran. Tehran should not get $24 billion cash up front for doing nothing. There's

00:26:32.800 no incentive for them to behave if they get free cash. And so that money should sit with a third

00:26:39.200 party country. It could be Qatar. It could be Oman. I think I trust that Qatar is more than

00:26:46.020 the Omanis. Oman right now is repurposing Iranian oil and saying it's theirs, trying to sell it,

00:26:54.020 sell it off. There's a little bit of that going on in the Middle East, no one's talking about.

00:26:59.100 And the money should only pay for food and medicine only. And it should come out in four 0.97

00:27:03.860 pieces, like give it an incentive. Iran can get the money for food and medicine only each time

00:27:10.420 Iran keeps its word in the negotiation in the deal. I think that is something that is doable

00:27:17.720 at this point there has to be an incentive inspectors on the nuclear sites before anything

00:27:23.920 happens before the last for any money goes out i think that there should be inspectors on the

00:27:27.660 nuclear sites because iran can never have a bomb all right we can argue whether they were weeks

00:27:32.980 away months away years away there's a valid argument about that i can't say what i've been

00:27:37.520 told in a skiff i will tell you it's different from what other people in the in the administration

00:27:43.540 had been told. Who's telling the truth there? But there's a tripwire. Iran closes the Strait

00:27:50.040 again. The blockade comes back and the money freezes the same day. So if Iran tries to

00:27:53.980 close the Strait of Hormuz, they don't get another dime. Not for food, not for medicine,

00:27:58.420 for nothing. No more. And the last ceasefire fell apart in June. That's why you got to have

00:28:06.120 tripwire. Yemen stays out of the deal. That should be totally off the table. In fact, if you want to 0.99

00:28:15.000 get rough with them, you got to tell them that other neighboring countries can't sell their oil

00:28:19.920 and market it as their own. That's what's going on. Some people in the world might be using Iranian

00:28:24.260 oil and don't even know it, might be funding them. Step seven, Obama's Iran deal never came to

00:28:31.500 Congress. It was just done. And I think that if a deal came to Congress, and I don't know why we're

00:28:37.380 not working 24-7 around the clock and helping shape a deal for the president in this with

00:28:43.280 Congress not at the table, but have a vote on it and have it come to Congress as a treaty,

00:28:49.740 as a real treaty. That would happen through the Senate. A deal Congress votes on is harder

00:28:54.420 for the next president to abscond, to get away with or walk away from. Because the thing that

00:28:59.800 you don't want is if we have a Democrat president in 2028, and the high likelihood that it's going

00:29:04.340 to happen is pretty good, based on where we are as a country right now, politically. But we don't

00:29:10.960 want to give the next president, Republican or Democrat, a deal that they can easily walk away

00:29:16.040 from. So if we do it in the sense that it's a treaty voted on through the Senate, I think you

00:29:20.400 have a little much easier time with it. I sit on armed services. You know, I would vote. I would

00:29:26.720 vote on a deal like that if it's a true incentive to keep iran financially motivated to do the right 0.59

00:29:32.100 thing but you know um israel can't get in the way either and i'm a huge israel fan i was rescuing

00:29:38.880 american citizens out of israel jews out of israel when the iranian war broke out i love israel i get

00:29:44.540 this question a lot how do we get out because i'm vehemently supportive of an exit strategy so

00:29:50.240 So Iran was, Iran's been under sanctions for decades, and it kept building a nuclear bomb

00:29:56.600 anyway.

00:29:57.720 There was a deal struck in the JCPOA with Biden, excuse me, with Obama, and they kept

00:30:03.260 building away anyway.

00:30:04.800 And they were close to building out a nuclear bomb.

00:30:08.500 They don't have it yet, and we don't want them to get it.

00:30:11.500 And if we leave before the ships move and the inspectors get in, we hand back the only

00:30:15.820 leverage we ever had for nothing.

00:30:17.600 so oil needs to start moving inspectors need to be let in and then we're out okay that is the

00:30:25.860 easiest next step let inspectors in open up the Strait of Hormuz America is out and Iran can start

00:30:32.440 getting some money for food and medical only and then have different milestones that they have to

00:30:40.940 hit they get the remainder of those funds for food and medical only dispersed distributed by

00:30:45.820 a third-party country. Again, I'm saying Qatar would be a good one, or Oman. Start the 30-day

00:30:51.940 clock now. Start the ceasefire right away. Every week that we wait is another week that you pay

00:30:56.940 more at the pump. Iran's president told the UN they'll fight until their last breath, and you

00:31:02.240 better believe him when he says that. They have millions of troops, millions of soldiers, who 0.97

00:31:06.900 could dress up as troops and shoot a firearm, and they'll, man, they're begging for a ground war

00:31:12.520 with us and we don't we don't need to get involved in that so the offer gets worse every week and now 0.82

00:31:18.140 they want Yemen on the on the table and so the offer from Iran gets worse every single week

00:31:23.780 ending the war doesn't mean losing it ending the war can mean winning it if we get Iran to

00:31:30.940 agree to those stipulations it can be done it means Iran never gets a bomb and oil starts moving again 0.65

00:31:37.880 again, and the world is a happy place. And we need the world to be a peaceful place.

00:31:43.400 Prove it first, get paid later. That's the Iran deal that should be happening. 0.91

00:31:47.400 If Iran takes the deal, it's the best one you're going to see yet. I told you there would be 1.00

00:31:52.400 questions that were yes or no in this episode tonight and to keep count. These are politicians

00:31:58.860 we're talking about. And we're going to call their bluff tonight. The first question,

00:32:04.540 is a woman an adult human female the second question was the cultural revolution bad

00:32:15.240 the third question will you stand against the iranian revolutionary guard regime terrorist

00:32:24.640 regime and the fourth question was should iran open the strait before it gets its money back

00:32:30.660 those were the four questions on the ballot tonight and the answer is yes yes yes and yes

00:32:39.160 I said that in less than four seconds you did too this isn't hard and if you're running for

00:32:45.340 any office and you don't know the answer to those four questions you shouldn't be running
