00:01:44.380Overnight, Senate Republicans rejecting a bill
00:01:46.740to block further military action in Iran
00:01:48.960unless the president gets congressional approval first.
00:01:52.240The Constitution grants Congress the sole power to declare war.
00:01:56.380The power to declare war is ours. If we give it up, then we are turning our back on the Constitution and our responsibility to the American people.
00:02:05.680Only one Republican, Senator Rand Paul, joining the majority of Democrats to back the resolution.
00:02:11.120Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he's willing to help the U.S., Israel, and their Middle East allies defend against Iranian Shahid drones for a price.
00:02:21.900Russia has used those drones extensively against Ukraine since the start of the war.
00:02:27.200Zelensky says Ukraine is prepared to share what it has learned about stopping them
00:02:31.600if Russia agrees to a month-long ceasefire.
00:02:35.300So far, Moscow has rejected any ceasefire proposals.
00:02:38.740We'll do our best, including with other countries of the international community,
00:02:43.560in the United Nations Security Council, in the United Nations General Assembly.
00:02:47.280will do everything to create an atmosphere that will make this operation impossible.
00:02:54.280Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country?
00:08:40.000I want to bring in here Richard Barris, the people's pundit on all this.
00:08:44.340Rich, you know, I want to do, if I can, get your immediate reaction to this news regarding the Secretary of Homeland Security moving over to this new position, the special envoy to America's shield, sort of the Don Roe doctrine of the southern southern Americas and Mark Wayne Mullen coming in.
00:09:04.860this is the first this this is big right this is the first time that we've seen in the second trump
00:09:09.100term that a cabinet level official has made a transfer like this has made a move like this
00:09:14.560what do you think is going on what do you think is precipitating this
00:09:17.480this was inevitable so i mean there were really two choices here uh she's been plagued by a lot
00:09:25.140of stuff uh not only what was happening with ice but you know questions about uh contracts jack and
00:09:31.620and bidding and recruitment. So there was really two choices. Find other utilization for her
00:09:38.160and get her out from underneath the line of fire or wait for Democrats to take aim and do their1.00
00:09:45.200thing. It was better and smarter to move her now and get her out of there now. I don't know if1.00
00:09:51.220everybody saw it, but the other day with the line of questioning with Kennedy, Tom Tillis is a
00:09:55.860blowhard who's not going to face the voters because he went against Trump too much. So he's
00:10:00.140going to tuck tail and run but somebody like kennedy uh having that exchange that he did with
00:10:05.660her really was a sign that look if democrats take that the house and or the senate coming in november0.99
00:10:11.840uh you just can't have baggage like that laying around it was smart it had to move her over had
00:10:17.280to had to she had to go and i understand she's speaking right now although i don't believe she's
00:10:27.220actually discussing it. So we may cut to that on Ruben Arca's voice, but I think we'll continue
00:10:33.040the interview on the stream here. I don't know if she's taking questions at all. Actually, guys,
00:10:38.560let's tell you what, let's let's dip into it for a second. Let's see if she's let's see if she's0.99
00:10:42.780discussing the situation. Can we do that, guys?
00:10:44.540We've also taken 1.7 billion lethal doses of drugs off our streets
00:10:59.220and stopped them from coming into the United States.
00:11:01.420That means 1.7 billion people will still be with us
00:11:05.640because of the work that our agencies and our work has done.
00:11:08.820Our Coast Guard is an important asset in the Department of Homeland Security,
00:11:12.280and they've worked with us, and maybe I've worked with some of you in the room as well
00:11:15.280to help interdict those drugs and stop them from coming into our country.
00:11:19.520You know, President Trump has been working hard to make sure that he's delivering
00:11:24.080on what he promised the American people, and that's to make America safe again.
00:11:27.900In doing so, we have gone out and found over 1,500 known and suspected terrorists
00:11:34.480that were let into this country over the open border invasion that we saw during the last administration.
00:11:40.040Those 1,500 individuals who are already on our known and suspected terrorist watch list have been brought to justice and removed.
00:11:46.420We know there's many more, but we're going to still continue to look for them, to find them, and to do all that we can to make sure that this country is safe.
00:11:54.740Beyond that, we've also arrested and removed over 7,700 gang members, TDA members, MS-13, Sinaloa cartel.
00:12:03.080The president is extremely focused on fighting cartels and recognize them as a foreign terrorist organization
00:12:09.480so that we can have new authorities to go after them.
00:12:11.860And we'll be working throughout the Western Hemisphere with all the countries to make sure that we're biting the snake off,
00:12:18.500cutting its head off with fighting the cartels before they ever reach the United States,
00:12:23.900stopping the drug flow, stopping the guns and ammunition from getting here and hurting our families and the homeland.
00:12:30.100And we'll continue to work together to make sure that we have the opportunity to do that.
00:12:34.460To everybody in the room that puts on a uniform, that wears a badge, that steps out every single day and does something that so few others do,
00:12:44.440put your life on the line for your brothers and your sisters and your families, and you do it in your home community.
00:12:55.840She's speaking there at the summit of the Americas down at Trump Doral.
00:13:00.580Rich Barris, I'm bringing back in here. So, you know, she's she's speaking this.
00:13:05.480What do you think this looks like? Does this look like turmoil within the White House?
00:13:09.500I'm sure that's how the mainstream media is going to to highlight it.
00:13:14.200What would you say? I think this was smart by the president.
00:13:18.400This was a smart move. He had to do it.
00:13:21.400She was rattling off a lot of accomplishments right there.
00:13:24.060Let me just say this, Jack, without saying too much. There was a lot of good work done at the Department of Homeland Security. There was. Let's not forget what the border looked like when Donald Trump came into office. We were being invaded. We were being invaded. And God knows who's in this country right now as the country engages in a conflict with Iran. God knows who came across the border when Joe Biden was president.
00:13:47.880So there was a lot of and look, she has the right to rattle off those accomplishments and the president has a right to tout those accomplishments.
00:13:55.320But just let it be, you know, let it serve as a bit of a warning going forward to other people.
00:14:01.240Put the movement first. Don't let problems that you have overshadow the great accomplishments that this president has made.
00:14:08.140Put the movement first. The media will spin it that way. And the president did did the right thing here.
00:14:13.660The smart thing by doing it now, getting out in front of it and let's move on.
00:14:20.140Well, I think that's that's what the president is certainly doing here.
00:14:23.820The president getting ahead of anything. No, I'm still going to be in the administration, though.
00:14:28.440So it's not, you know, the soft landing over as the special envoy or someone that he's not putting out, of course, with Mark Wayne Mullen.
00:14:35.820That will set up either, you know, that's a safe seat.
00:14:38.940So I don't think there's going to be any question over whether or not that would really challenge or threaten the balance in the Senate.
00:14:45.860Although a quote, of course, lead to a special election or a I have to look at where he's at in terms of his in terms of which class he's in in the Senate as whether or not he's up again.
00:14:55.560And then or potentially just a just an appointment by Governor Stitt.
00:21:23.600is that there seems to be a generational divide when it comes to not just Iran, but also Israel
00:21:30.920military intervention in general. This is something where you do see MAGA, America First
00:21:36.940tend to have this divide. And a lot of that includes, by the way, the low prop voters
00:21:43.440that President Trump won in 2024, the independents, the younger voters, the people who hadn't come
00:21:49.780online before. Those were the ones who really came out in 2024. And of course, Charlie Kirk
00:21:54.880and Turning Point were such a massive, massive role in terms of that. For them, anti-war and
00:22:02.180domestic policy were some of their most important reasons for voting for President Trump and J.D.
00:22:08.500Vance, who they viewed as the peace ticket. Now, when you get to that 40, 45 mark on the plus side
00:22:15.780of that, maybe even the 50 plus mark on the plus side of that, that's where you see the needle
00:22:19.540start moving towards more support for interventions, more support for war in Iran, more support for
00:22:27.260Israel, et cetera, et cetera. It's really that generational divide where we see the issue.
00:22:33.680Rich Barris, do we have him back? You do, buddy. I'm here. Do we have you?
00:22:38.520Okay, great. I was just talking about how. Yeah, I hope you're not driving off the interstate there.
00:22:44.120I was talking about how we have this generational divide that we're seeing when it comes to a lot of these issues, and particularly when it comes to the operation in Iran, but really just foreign policy in general, where the younger voters, the low-prop voters, tend to want to see more of that focus on domestic policy.
00:23:07.400Tell us what you're seeing out there.0.72
00:23:08.360yeah this is something you know before the war you know for six months and we have the white
00:23:14.360house focus tracker on big data poll people should go and check it out and you'll see that
00:23:18.800young people driving this predominantly under 50 millennials generation z right they they want
00:23:24.460a government that focuses on them and focuses on their needs at home they have no appetite for war
00:23:30.680even millennials jack of which uh you know i'm on the line of generation x millennial uh you know
00:23:36.320we're the 9-11 generation. They don't want it. I mean, they've been,
00:23:39.780they lived through this already and they're over it.
00:23:42.240So this idea that there's going to be more appetite as time goes on is just
00:23:45.840incorrect because they had been kind of seeing this happen in, you know,
00:23:50.340over the last six months or so, they, they kind of expected it.
00:23:53.460And they were doing everything in their power to tell their,
00:23:56.200their leaders that this is not what they wanted. And it happened anyway.
00:23:59.920We're in the field right now. And this is something I want to throw out.
00:24:03.900I've been warning people who really do support Israel. You have a huge age signal on this. And there's not a lot of sympathy for Israel out there right now. And they're going to be fair or unfair. I'm not arguing either way. Fair or unfair, they are going to be blamed by these younger voters for their government not focusing on their needs.0.68
00:24:26.000We ask people whether or not they think Israel has too much focus or too much influence on U.S. foreign policy.
00:24:34.140And Jack, it's 60 percent. It's 60 percent. And it's driven largely by people who are under 50.0.60
00:24:41.740You know, if you're older, if you're the boomer, baby boomer generation, you know, you see the world dramatically different than how younger voters see the world.
00:24:51.740people who are younger than baby boomers see the world they simply can't afford you know while
00:24:56.660boomers may think it's not that big of a deal younger voters think i simply can't afford
00:25:02.240a government that isn't focused on the domestic agenda anymore it's a very different world view
00:25:08.560and it's a very it's just about priority jack it's about priorities
00:25:11.660and this is something that we've seen on and on again i know that the guys over on the charlie
00:25:20.200The Kirk show earlier today had a couple of turning point students on who came up from different universities.
00:25:25.500And that's exactly what they were saying. That's you know, this isn't something that we're sort of just, you know, just spitballing here.
00:25:31.660I hear it when I go and talk to college students, the turning point students.
00:25:35.900I know you see it when you're talking to people. I get it when I see the emails coming in, especially the under 30 crowd, man.
00:25:41.820It's especially under 30 crowd. I mean, look, Jack, it's we live in different economic realities, right?
00:25:48.740They have a different inheritance than prior generations before.
00:26:15.260We had one crisis after the other, one war after the other.
00:26:18.740the economy is just not the same as it was for older generations. Right. And then those students,0.97
00:26:25.140what did they, what did they talk about in that interview? I mean, what did she say?
00:26:29.760Affordability overall, but housing, right. Gas prices. I can't buy a vehicle. This is not
00:26:35.780something you want to hear from people. And, or I would say, this is not what you have,
00:26:41.700the environment you want to have at home. If you're trying to build support for a foreign1.00
00:26:45.920entanglement or foreign conflict it's about priority they don't have the luxury of caring
00:26:51.580about freedom for the iranians when they're worried about the future of their freedom at home it's
00:26:57.140that simple and you're never going to convince them with any amount of you know what we normally
00:27:01.660hear from the war drum beaters quick break right back getting some emails in
00:27:06.740and jack where is jack where is jack where is he jack i want to see you
00:27:16.340great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're
00:27:23.640always talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys
00:27:28.220should be getting politicians all right jack so we're back live human events daily we're on
00:27:34.940with Rich Barris. So, Rich, I want to go into some of the data that you're pulling together
00:27:39.060regarding the Iran operation. We've heard from the president and our own reporting
00:27:44.600that four weeks was the time frame initially that was being looked at. We're now also hearing some
00:27:51.880reports from Politico, again, not official, but potentially looking at 100 days of operation,
00:27:57.140some other data points that are coming out out there. Do you think that this is something
00:28:02.320that extends further if we're talking this goes beyond one the one month mark through the summer
00:28:09.300all right i mean are you asking whether or not that you know uh increases the political risks
00:28:15.740of it i mean again one of the questions we're asking yeah one of the questions we're asking
00:28:20.900jack and this is a problem the administration's going to have they have to address which is
00:28:24.900do you think that the administration the president laid out clearly what the goals were and what the
00:28:31.780what does success look like in these operations? And a little over 60% as well say no. They really
00:28:39.560don't know what our objectives are here, which leaves a lot of confusion. And the longer this
00:28:45.580goes on, the more political risk there is. And we ask a question, which is interesting because
00:28:51.560it tells us where people, again, their priorities are. How important do you think it is that the
00:28:56.700U.S. stay out of foreign wars and these conflicts. And particularly when it comes to Iran, it's over
00:29:03.66080 percent now. When we first started asking and it looked like we were probably going to launch
00:29:08.800strikes against Iran in some capacity, it was about 70 percent. And it was the same as what0.92
00:29:14.140we got as far as opposition to the conflict. It's now above 80 with people who say that it's very
00:29:20.660important that we stay out of this thing like that. And a long term conflict is what they that's
00:29:25.260what they're talking about. With very important, surpassing somewhat important, which tells you
00:29:31.440that the intensity is against long-term operations. So, I mean, without a doubt,
00:29:37.320the smartest political move here would be to just declare victory, Jack, and walk away.
00:29:44.280This is a narrative that's starting to take root that I worry about for the president,
00:29:49.880which is, there really is no U.S. interest here. You're not going to convince the American public
00:29:55.000that there is and i don't want to see him as viewed as being dog walked into this thing by
00:30:00.380uh you know by israel by the the prime minister of israel and i really would and honestly i'd
00:30:06.840like to see the president the president assert um you know basically make a public showing uh that
00:30:12.800he is in fact the one in control here because this is something the american public they just
00:30:18.060don't jack they just don't see the vital interest here they don't they're not going to be duped
00:30:24.280into claims that they had icbms that are going to hit us it's just it's ludicrous to them and
00:30:30.100it's just too tall of an order to get them to believe this well and rich here's here's something
00:30:35.120that i've i've said from the start is that the american people want to hear from their president
00:30:39.840the american people i think want to see that behind the desk of the oval office prime time
00:30:47.680address from the president this is what we're doing this is what's going on this is why it's
00:30:53.920happening, my fellow Americans moment. And President Trump is always his best spokesman.
00:31:00.420This is what we saw at the State of the Union, which was a tour de force just last week,
00:31:04.700where you notice, by the way, the primary focus was on those domestic issues,
00:31:09.200with the exception, by the way, of the Venezuela raid. And the Venezuela raid in that model
00:31:13.900was seen as largely successful. The president took a victory lap on that. He had the Medal
00:31:18.800of honor ceremony related to it. So again, this was something that was very and highly successful,
00:31:24.460the Venezuela model. That's something that I think the people of the United States are waiting for.
00:31:29.780Now, what I would say, though, Rich, is that, look, we're receiving some emails right now. And
00:31:33.720I've got people, you know, that are on both sides of this, people who say, I'm behind this. I think
00:31:38.700we need to be on this. This is important to do now. So you do see support from, and we've seen
00:31:45.720in the polling support from core Republicans on this and core conservatives. So what would
00:31:52.700you say to those folks who say, look, I'm a core conservative. I'm a three time Trump
00:31:56.600voter. I'm for this. What's the problem? I would say you're in the minority. You're
00:32:02.640in the gross minority and you have to you have to care about that. The fact of the matter1.00
00:32:08.240is MAGA is shrinking. We're seeing a little bit of what I'm calling down house to call
00:32:12.640it, purification through subtraction. So it's great that you have 98, 95% of support from that
00:32:20.30030%, but it was 45% 13 months ago. And you had 93% support among 45, 93 among 45 is greater than
00:32:32.10098 among 30. So, I mean, it does matter, you know, whether something's popular or not does matter.
00:32:38.680The Maduro thing, totally different scenario. I mean, honestly, Jack, Americans are looking for wins, you know, and they may not even know how to articulate that. But, you know, we killed the Ayatollah and we're out, you know, mission accomplished. Let them figure it out.
00:32:53.980would be a win to the american public and that would be okay what wouldn't is giving the opposition
00:33:01.540the ammunition that you ran as the no new wars president especially in the middle east for
00:33:09.360regime change and yet that increasingly is the suspicion that that is the objective in which is
00:33:16.820regime change and you said something before i think is really important that the president is
00:33:21.580his best spokesman without a doubt that is true I mean look what happened when they tried to
00:33:26.660you know give an interview to New York Post I mean the New York Times and the Washington Post
00:33:30.920that had to be cleaned up Rubio comes out attempting to clean it up he steps on you know
00:33:36.060steps on himself and chokes down his own tongue then Mike Johnson comes out 30 minutes later after
00:33:41.080they try to clean up Rubio then he makes the same mistake both of them with including the news
00:33:46.440reports, you know, on top of the news reports, giving the people the impression that they were
00:33:51.820goaded into doing this by Israel, like forced into doing this by Israel. The president has
00:33:56.480got to come out and don't tell anybody any tales about ICBMs that can hit Los Angeles and just
00:34:02.100tell them, look, he was a bad guy. I got rid of him. End of story. We're coming back after that.
00:34:08.020If he did that, he could, you know, we could really turn this thing around here. But the longer
00:34:13.200it goes on, Jack, without a doubt, it's not really even debatable. The longer it goes on,
00:34:18.060I would tell this to that 30%, the longer it goes on, the more in the wilderness you're going to0.98
00:34:22.700find yourself. And we're getting way too close to a midterm election. You know, I'd remind everybody
00:34:28.020that the real threat is at home, you know, as far as winning elections. And I mean, it wasn't that
00:34:33.480long ago that they were rounding people up and putting people in jail, including the president
00:34:38.200that really needs to start you know people get all hyped with war and you know we all start you
00:34:45.380know having that war high but once that high comes down and you crash you've got it you better make
00:34:50.420sure you don't find yourself in a really bad spot which is exactly that's right exactly where you
00:34:58.340know we see the situation with the um with gas prices going up the price of oil you know with
00:35:06.020going up the price of a barrel of oil going up, hitting gas prices, that's going up around the
00:35:11.980nation. There's no question we've seen that spike just in the last couple of days. That's something
00:35:16.480the administration is going to want to wrap their hands around before anybody starts early voting
00:35:20.860in any of these key states, any of the states that have a Senate race on them. But at the same time,
00:35:25.940Rich, you know, let's say that we do actually, just devil's advocate, let's say that things go
00:35:31.320well and he gets does actually achieve a real positive outcome could that have a better uh
00:35:38.420outlook when it comes to midterms because of the the spoils of war yeah i think that at the very
00:35:45.240least it'll limit what i you know what what people are are estimating to be the damage you're always
00:35:50.460gonna have those people who are going to complain that he said no new wars and yet here we are i
00:35:56.100mean you're gonna have those people you and i had a conversation right a lot of those people are
00:36:00.700right. They're already kind of gone. Right. So a midterm is a turnout. It's a turnout operation.
00:36:06.440I mean, the right is probably not going to win the middle, but they can take heart in the fact
00:36:12.020that they still are much bigger than the left. That is true. They are. I'm not talking about
00:36:17.420party identification. I'm talking about the number of people in the United States who agree with the
00:36:22.960right wing platform is larger than the number of people who agree with the left wing. And if you
00:36:27.420can motivate them by winning winning you know getting them excited um that's that's what you
00:36:33.400have to do this is what democrats did when they engaged in some rather unpopular agenda items
00:36:38.720under obama they didn't even bother to win the middle jack they just juiced their base with what
00:36:43.780they viewed to be wins and that saved them time and time again especially barack obama himself
00:36:49.300So that has got to be the strategy here going into 26, because it would be unwise to try to rely on persuading the middle back.
00:37:00.660Just get the president's base fired up, make sure they understand what is at stake, which is that the more seats Democrats win, the more likely it is that he could be removed.
00:41:38.980Today, it is the Chinese. And they are investing millions of dollars in Grenada in particular. They're building a new cricket stadium there funded by the Chinese. It's something we've got to continue to pay attention to. My favorite Ronald Reagan quote of all time is when he says, you know, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. And we've got to constantly fight these fights to remind people of what the real danger is.
00:42:33.680I mean, this it's there's so many origin stories of the people that we talk about, you know, every single day here that go all the way back to things like this.
00:42:43.060Yeah. The heroic efforts of the 82nd Airborne. I didn't get a chance to interview General Flynn.
00:42:47.700I would have loved to talk to him about this and hopefully we'll get to some day.
00:42:51.320I do tell the story of a young captain named Michael Ritz, who was who was shot and killed.
00:42:55.580I mean, we lost 19 service members over the course of four days, including four Navy SEALs.
00:42:59.760The combat was very real. And it's important to remind people of the sacrifices that were made in Grenada as well. And to this day, Jack, the Grenadian people celebrate October 25th as their Thanksgiving Day, which is their Thanksgiving to the United States for liberating them from a Marxist dictatorship.
00:43:15.920I see that's actually amazing. This idea that people went because whenever you talk to someone who served or excuse me, I should say, who suffered under a communist dictatorship, whether it's in Grenada, whether it's Soviet Union, wherever it is, they'll tell you immediately how terrible it was.
00:43:33.580They'll tell you how awful it was. And then you go to some, you know, Columbia College campus in the Ivy League and they'll sit there and say, oh, well, that wasn't real communism or that person doesn't know what they're talking about.
00:43:43.760this is going to work in theory. You know, when the Berlin Wall went up pretty, as people always
00:43:48.260say, I know it's cliched, but people were only crossing that thing one way. Nobody's trying to
00:43:52.200break into the East. Right, right. They don't put the walls to keep people, you know, from
00:43:57.820pouring into the communist parts. You know, think about the Berlin Wall as well. And that was really0.72
00:44:02.300the final straw for Ronald Reagan, because the communists, the Marxists on Grenada had threatened
00:44:06.840to shoot the American students if they disobeyed a curfew that they put in place. And I also tell
00:44:13.380the story of the communist revolution in Nicaragua as a precursor to this one, because I think we
00:44:17.660lost, it was a total of 12 countries fell to either socialist or Marxist regimes during Jimmy
00:44:23.440Carter. And that didn't stop until Ronald Reagan was elected. And it really started with Grenada.
00:44:28.040And then we started to see the dominoes fall in these Eastern Bloc countries. They then,0.53
00:44:32.680then they started to reform. And then we saw ultimately the Berlin Wall come down in the end
00:44:37.820of the Cold War, right at the end of Ronald Reagan's presidency in the beginning of George
00:44:43.040H.W. Bush's presidency. Well, that's incredible. So what you're doing,
00:44:46.780so you're going through the Sandinistas, you go through all of the history of communism in the
00:44:52.240Caribbean, and that gives people, what I think is great about this book, actually, is it gives
00:44:55.940people a primer into the Don Roe Doctrine. So yes, it's the 1980s, but it actually can help
00:45:01.580you understand current events, because you're going around the horn, you're saying this is
00:45:05.580what happened in Nicaragua, this is what happened in Grenada, then boom, just what, 20 or so years
00:45:11.120after that, we got what? The communist revolution, or I should say the Chavez takeover in Venezuela.
00:45:18.020So that's where communism, of course, emanating from Cuba, that's where that came out. So this
00:45:24.920has been the push and pull of the United States, Western influence and communist influence that's
00:45:30.080going on South America, Latin America, and the Caribbean really since the dawn of the Cold War
00:45:35.600back in the 1950s so it gives you an understanding of how we got here and what the past is what the
00:45:42.700prologue is for a lot of people as you say who didn't understand exactly what reagan was up to0.81
00:45:47.680down in south america or they get these you know really ridiculous i've seen some of these tiktok
00:45:52.840videos where zoomers talk about reagan like he was just some imperialist that's not what he was
00:45:57.900about at all no he was not he knew exactly what he wanted to do his main goal was really a nuclear
00:46:04.300nonproliferation. That's what he ultimately wanted to accomplish. But in order to do that,
00:46:08.500he had to end the Cold War and really put the Soviets in a position where they had to play ball.0.53
00:46:13.180And Grenada was just part of that. And Jack, you make a great point. And something I hope the0.62
00:46:17.400readers get across in this book is every time we see a communist country or a communist revolution,
00:46:22.300it is the same playbook. They divide their people internally. And then the foreign influence comes
00:46:27.900in from the dominant communist power in the world to, quote unquote, reform these countries
00:46:34.600into a Marxist or socialist or communist government. And it works out the same way every
00:46:41.120time. The people are starving. The government is oppressive. And like they say, Jack, you can vote
00:46:47.320your way into communism, but you have to shoot your way out of it. That's exactly true. Last
00:46:52.280question, John. President Trump earlier today talked about Cuba. He said that we could see
00:46:57.480the fall of the communist regime in Cuba. You just wrote the book, Focus on Grenada. What do you
00:47:02.560think? I think it's entirely possible. I think the challenge there versus Venezuela is that you've
00:47:08.400had communism so deeply entrenched into Cuba. It was interesting to see the Cuban president,
00:47:14.020Miguel Diaz-Canal, this week say they need to drastically reform their economic system. It
00:47:19.140might be a little bit too late for that. But the Cuban people, Jack, I live in South Florida,
00:47:23.360And as you know, the Cuban people are begging President Trump to get involved.
00:47:27.160They've seen what's happened in Venezuela.
00:47:29.020They see what's happening in Iran right now.
00:47:30.520And they desperately want Cuba to be next.0.89
00:47:32.700Many of them want to return to their homeland.
00:47:34.340And the only way to do that is to make sure there's a democratic republic or some sort of free actual government in Cuba, something they haven't experienced since the early 1960s.
