Today, we discuss Israel's outstanding intelligence operation proving that Iran lied to the world about their nuclear weapons program. Plus, why millennials are moving toward Republican candidates in the 2018 midterms, and is the Crips Gang after Kanye West because of his support for Donald Trump?
00:02:20.620Iran then decided to conceal this under the guise of science.
00:02:25.400And Netanyahu's case was made brilliantly and beautifully.
00:02:29.540He said, how do we know these were not centrifuges for medical research?
00:02:33.460Well, you don't bury experimental medical centrifuges that when you're experimenting with nuclear medicine,
00:02:41.460you don't bury those in a bunker underground.
00:02:43.300That's for weapons, grade, plutonium production, uranium production, things of that nature.
00:02:49.380Now, there were also other indicators.
00:02:52.520Most of the documents, if not all, were written in Farsi, but some things simply didn't translate.
00:02:57.160In one slide, Netanyahu showed us, you know, Farsi, written Farsi, but then 10 kiloton TNT.
00:03:05.040Once translated, that was referring to Iran's desire to develop five warheads,
00:03:09.700each with a yield equivalent to 10 kilotons of TNT.
00:03:14.840Now, that's equal equivalent to about four to five times the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
00:03:22.280You don't have to be an intelligence specialist.
00:03:24.800You don't have to be a brilliant analyst to understand that those weapons were being developed to most likely be used on Israel,
00:03:31.060which leads me to believe that somebody very senior in the Iranian government realized how insane Iranian President Rouhani and Supreme Leader Khamenei had gotten
00:03:41.720that they were actually trying to develop these nuclear weapons, that the Iran deal was falling apart,
00:03:47.540and that if they did, in fact, even hint that they had these weapons, let alone use one on Israel or Jordan or another nation in the region,
00:03:56.700or even try to use one on the United States or Europe or worse, give that material, that nuclear material to terrorists to be used in a dirty bomb,
00:04:05.280Iran could very well find itself eradicated off the face of the earth.
00:04:09.240It would be a joint international effort.
00:06:43.460Ben Rhodes has been dead wrong about literally everything.
00:06:48.020And Ben Rhodes, who was tweeting every day, hasn't tweeted since April 27, since the day North and South Korea decided to end the Korean War.
00:08:14.420Or maybe he showed Merkel just enough to get her nervous.
00:08:17.120Because if you recall, it was Germany that sold Iran, those binary chemical weapon components that were used in the gas attack in Syria that led to us striking Syria.
00:08:28.200But Merkel is now between a massive rock and a very hard place.
00:08:34.060He just gave chemical weapons to Iran.
00:08:37.340Now we have conclusive proof that Iran lied about its nuclear weapons program.
00:08:41.440Where else are they using those chemical weapons components that they bought from Merkel?
00:08:45.200How do we know they were all used in the gas attack in Syria?
00:08:48.240Did Iran give those to terrorists to use in dirty bombs against Western targets?
00:08:53.420Either way, Merkel looked very, very nervous.
00:08:56.660Very unsettled during that press conference.
00:08:58.700I didn't understand why she looked so nervous.
00:09:00.520She's been a world leader for a long time.
00:09:01.920She's not intimidated by Donald Trump.
00:09:03.780Well, this information Netanyahu released yesterday certainly shed some light on possibly why Merkel looked so nervous.
00:09:11.220She probably saw a small piece of this or was given a heads up that it existed.
00:09:15.940And this is a game changer for the world.
00:09:34.100This is a Zionist Jewish conspiracy against us wonderful Muslim hardliners.
00:09:38.380They made it all up, enabled by their horrible friends, the other big bad Satan, the United States, and the CIA who just wants to kill us all.
00:11:08.400The documents show that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program for years.
00:11:12.940Iran sought to develop nuclear weapons and missile delivery systems.
00:11:17.860Iran hid a vast atomic archive from the world and from the IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Association, until today.
00:11:28.120Among the flaws of the Iran deal was the whitewashing of Iran's illicit activities related to its military nuclear program.
00:11:35.880Iran had many opportunities over the years to turn over its files to international inspectors from the IAEA and its nuclear weapons work on its nuclear weapons work or admit it.
00:11:45.820Instead, they lied to the IAEA repeatedly.
00:11:49.120They also lied about their program to the six nations who negotiated the Iran nuclear deal.
00:11:54.560What this means is that the deal was not constructed on a foundation of good faith or transparency.
00:12:01.480In other words, the deal is null and void.
00:12:03.800It was built on Iranian, on Iran's lies.
00:12:06.500Iran's nuclear deception is inconsistent with Iran's pledge in the nuclear deal.
00:12:12.780That, quote, quote, that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop, or acquire any nuclear weapons, end quote.
00:12:19.480Secretary is saying many, many times he used the words lied.
00:12:22.920I'm going to tell you what I think that means in one second.
00:12:56.660It is worth recalling that from 2006 to 2015, Iran was prohibited by Security Council resolutions from enriching any nuclear material.
00:13:05.620Now that the world knows Iran has lied and is still lying, it is time to revisit the question of whether Iran can be trusted to enrich or control any nuclear material he means for scientific research, medicine, for any reason.
00:13:18.200As the president's May 12th deadline to fix the Iran deal approaches, I will be consulting with our European allies and other nations on the best way forward in light of what we now know about Iran's past pursuit of nuclear weapons and its systematic deception of the world.
00:13:35.140The U.S. Secretary of State is saying, in short, Iran lied.
00:13:38.680The Iran deal was predicated upon lies and in bad faith.
00:13:42.080The Obama administration got played like fools or they were complicit.
00:13:45.900The world knew Iran was bubble wrapping its nuclear program and putting a nice pink bow on it under the guise of science.
00:13:52.500No one believed it, but the Obama administration shoved it down our throats and sold it to us anyway.
00:13:57.900What they did, what the Obama administration did here was graceful.
00:14:01.440I think the president needs to pull out of the Iran deal and he needs to place the blame squarely at the feet of every Democrat who pushed this deal in Congress right before the midterms, pull out of this disastrous Iran deal, wrap it, bury it in consecrated ground after you burn it, put Iran on notice, ask them for everything, give them nothing, and let's put an end to this globalist nonsense once and for all.
00:14:31.440The mainstream media tells us that young voters, especially millennial voters, are almost exclusively Democrat.
00:14:46.560But a new story in the Red Alert Politics section of the Washington Examiner is telling us something different.
00:14:53.840It's titled, Republicans Gain Ground with Millennial Voters.
00:14:57.100Stories being shared pretty widely with titles ranging from its original title to Democrats Losing Ground with Millennial Voters.
00:15:03.980Let's make sense of it all with the person who wrote the piece, my good friend, Lauren Cooley, Red Alert Politics editor over at the Washington Examiner.
00:15:14.260Good. So I'm really, really encouraged by this piece, and I love it when friends of mine write pieces like this so I can call them and say, hey, is it accurate?
00:15:25.540Are Republicans now looking better in the midterms with millennial voters?
00:15:29.920Yeah, so this is a Reuters poll that came out just yesterday, and it was focused on how are young millennials responding to congressional races?
00:15:40.660So, you know, this really doesn't say much about a Trump effect per se, but it does show that when it comes to the midterms, Republicans are gaining ground.
00:15:49.100And so specifically with the numbers, support for Republicans didn't necessarily overtly change.
00:15:55.680Like, people who really consider themselves Republicans are about the same between 2016 and 2018.
00:16:01.140But the difference is those moderates, the people in the middle who might prefer Republican over a Democrat, there's been a nine percentage point slip there, which shows that Republicans really have an opportunity to win over those voters who may have been voting Democrat in 2016, but are more likely to vote Republican in 2018.
00:16:21.500See, Lauren, to me, everything you just said is far more encouraging.
00:16:25.920I'd rather you have told me what you just told me than told me this was all part and parcel to the Trump effect for the simple reason that Trump still has two and a half years to make his case to voters.
00:16:40.180And I think this is a very good gateway.
00:16:43.680This is the gateway step in a conservative politics for many millennials.
00:16:47.540But the most telling thing is those independents, especially that really critical four to seven percent in the dead center who tend to decide elections these days.
00:16:57.420I mean, look at Trump's margin of win here in Florida in the general election, 171,000 votes out of an electorate in the double digit millions.
00:17:05.120We're talking about sub one percent, right?
00:17:07.340So that four to seven percent, if you're telling me there's a nine percent net gain for Republicans within that group, man, that has to have the Democrats terrified.
00:17:17.540Yeah, that's that's the thing that makes this so notable.
00:17:21.620Not only that it's those independent kind of swing voters, but also the fact that it is young millennials, because, look, Democrats take millennial votes for granted.
00:17:30.280Republicans have a hard time winning them over.
00:17:32.680And most importantly, it's now the largest potential or eligible voting bloc in the nation for the first time in 2018.
00:17:40.420And so if you look at states like Florida, a swing state could go either way.
00:17:46.400And you think a lot of people think, oh, it's a place where people go and retire.
00:17:50.520There are tons and tons and tons of college students in the state of Florida and other swing states.
00:17:55.620And so not only being the largest voting bloc or potential voting bloc, right, these students have to go out and register to vote still.
00:18:02.660But not only that, you know, they are in mass population in areas that matter when it comes to voting.
00:18:09.280I think that this is really encouraging.
00:18:11.540And it just shows that things that Republicans are doing, whether you want to talk about it being a Trump effect or just the policy that President Trump is signing on his desk, you know, tax reform makes a difference for young people.
00:18:23.500They actually see that money in their pocket.
00:18:25.200Yeah, and Lauren, I want to get to the causation in a second, but you make a great point, right?
00:18:54.380But there's tons of college students here.
00:18:58.000I mean, if you look at how many college students there are that are in comparison to the ones that are just registered to vote, it's an extreme small percentage.
00:19:07.000So, you know, we'll look at the projected polling versus who actually goes out and is mobilized.
00:19:12.300But this is kind of an indication for the parties that they need to be spending time on campus, spending time online, trying to reach millennials,
00:19:19.360and not just assuming that they're going to go out and mass and vote, because it's really no longer the days where MTV tells people to go vote.
00:19:28.700It's going to take a little more courting.
00:19:30.200But I think that for Republicans, this is a demographic that's really ripe.
00:19:33.700Yeah, and you know another hidden millennial voting bloc here.
00:19:37.760Most people, when they think of Florida, don't think of the technology industry.
00:19:43.880Two companies that receive some of the largest infusions of venture capital, Magic Leap and Vertical Bridge.
00:19:51.460Magic Leap does the holographic technology, and Vertical Bridge is in the cell phone tower connectivity business.
00:19:56.760Magic Leap has raised $2 billion to $4 billion in venture capital, Vertical Bridge.
00:20:02.300Now, I was just told, on their third round, $6 billion in venture capital, hiring like crazy, expanding their facilities,
00:20:11.020all located in South Florida for the tax advantages.
00:20:14.480Look, the millennial voters love coming down here, no state income tax.
00:20:17.360And so we're going to see, I believe, more younger voters moving into this state as companies like that expand.
00:20:23.700Massive data companies down here, right?
00:20:25.200LexisNexis, TransUnion bought a facility.
00:20:27.720They're hiring the young developers, the young data specialists.
00:20:32.420This is something, a trend that I've been seeing for quite some time.
00:20:36.140And interestingly enough, not to talk about gubernatorial politics in Florida,
00:20:39.740but I was at an event with Adam Putnam, current agriculture secretary, one of the candidates for governor.
00:20:47.180And surprisingly, he's been an agriculture guy his whole career,
00:20:50.200but surprisingly, he discussed this very thing and talked about how he wants to add another 300,000 to 400,000 technology jobs to Florida if he's elected.
00:20:59.120Now, I've got my issues with that because a lot of those people might vote blue.
00:21:02.360But that aside, there's no doubt the millennial vote in Florida might arguably become the most important voting bloc in the state.
00:21:11.280And just to counter your point about a lot of those individuals might vote blue,
00:21:16.740I would say that those are probably the individuals who have gone through a technical training or a college that hasn't necessarily focused on.
00:21:24.420I'll agree with you there because these companies have money and they're looking for top talent because they can afford to pay for top talent.
00:21:30.020Right, and I think that they may be a little older, and we'll see that as millennials get older,
00:21:35.680the older end of the bracket are going to be more conservative or right-leaning as well.
00:21:39.720So, I mean, this is just one poll, but it shows that if you're looking at data between 2016 and 2018,
00:21:48.740whether or not those individuals say they like Donald Trump,
00:21:52.400the things that he's doing and the policy that he's leading the Republican Party with is resonating and doing well with young people.
00:35:45.120Yeah, I mean, they could have a concealed carry permit and carry outside the courtroom, outside the court building.
00:35:55.200You know, there are eight May issue states where they have to go and get permission to carry.
00:36:02.880So, they may not be automatically granted in those places, but it probably would in the case of a judge.
00:36:08.680But, right, I mean, the issue is here, when they're in the courtroom, can they carry it for protection?
00:36:19.880If, I mean, we hear every once in a while about some type of attack on a court.
00:36:25.640Well, let me read these, because you have a couple of those attacks on your site.
00:36:29.440You cited some reports from the Associated Press.
00:36:32.980Last year, a Florida man was sentenced to more than 300 years in prison for trying to kill federal judge Timothy Corrigan in 2013
00:36:39.880in what prosecutors said was an assassination attempt.
00:36:43.980He previewed the suspect's face going to prison for violating probation previously imposed by that judge.
00:36:49.920In Texas in 2015, State District Judge Julie Kosarek was wounded by a gunman in an ambush.
00:36:55.940In 2006, Reno, Nevada Family Court Judge Chuck Weller was wounded by bullet fragments in glass after a man fired at him with a high-powered rifle
00:37:05.440after a contentious divorce over which the judge presided.
00:37:09.840And Illinois, it says here, basically struck down legislation that would have allowed judges and prosecutors to carry.
00:37:45.440Well, I mean, the last thing you want for the judicial system is for prosecutors or judges to feel that their safety is threatened by doing their job.
00:41:31.600No, I mean, it creates perverse incentives, not only for the criminal in that case, but also for the officer.
00:41:40.660I mean, he doesn't want to have a black mark on his record like that.
00:41:45.100But, you know, I don't know what to tell you on this stuff.
00:41:50.520But it's just, thank goodness that this woman was willing to go out.
00:41:56.760The problem is, even if she's exonerated in the end, the concern is it's going to cost her, you know, $100,000 or more to go and defend herself legally here.
00:42:06.540Well, it doesn't appear that she's facing criminal charges.
00:42:09.860I mean, it seems like, and I've been poking around the story as we're talking, it appears the-
00:42:26.400But just last month, April 6, 2018, Kisti received the summons from Blake R. Maislin, LLC,
00:42:33.620Thomas J. Dahl, attorney at law, regarding a wrongful death lawsuit for the assailant.
00:42:37.860And like you say, the officer involved was also named in the suit.
00:42:42.000The officer, responding to a 911 call, being beaten and possibly killed with his own firearm before she intervened, is being sued for wrongful death.
00:42:50.720I hope the judge throws this thing out on its face.
00:43:45.480So, you know, it's one of the costs of the legal system.
00:43:50.300I mean, maybe they're just bringing this as a nuisance suit, thinking that it'll get settled out of court beforehand just to try to make it go away.
00:43:59.680Yeah, give us $25,000 and we'll go away, and she's got it in the GoFundMe.
00:44:03.420And as much as I hate to say it, probably for her peace of mind, it might even be worth just writing that check and making the whole thing go away, and she can go back and live her life.
00:44:15.340I mean, if the question is, does she give them $25,000 or spend $100,000 on legal costs, she'd probably just give the $25,000 and let the guy brag that he got done out of court settlement or the family brag about it.
00:44:33.780I'm surprised, and I'm not saying this, I'm not even saying this to be funny.
00:44:37.360I'm surprised they're also not suing the homeowner's insurance company on whose lawn they'd have a shot.
00:44:42.620It's surprising to me they're not doing that.
00:44:44.400I mean, this attorney appears to have no...
00:44:47.180All right, let's move on to your Hill piece.
00:44:49.100You wrote a piece in the Hill a few days back.
00:44:51.840Waffle Zone shooting illustrates the danger posed by gun-free zone.
00:44:55.420There's a statistic in here that jumped out at me.
00:44:58.920Over 98% of U.S. mass public shootings since 1950, according to your research, have occurred in gun-free zones.
00:45:09.720Well, just to back up a little bit, the thing that kind of upset me about this story was that here you have yet another mass public shooting in a place where people aren't allowed to have guns to be able to go and protect themselves.
00:45:25.600The Waffle House was posted, and yet you can't find one single news story on that fact.
00:45:33.820That, you know, you have all these news stories about calls for new gun control laws, literally within hours, again, as often happens from these attacks.
00:45:46.180You know, they didn't immediately know what type of gun was used.
00:47:26.620I mean, here, they say, oh, we don't want to take away hunting rifles.
00:47:30.600The thing is, the semi-automatic hunting rifle, as you're implying, functions identically to an AR-15.
00:47:39.000I mean, it's a small caliber hunting rifle.
00:47:42.300They couldn't even use an AR-15 to go and hunt deer.
00:47:46.500Yeah, it's banned in like 30-some-odd states for deer hunting because at the end of the day, an AR-15, I'm glad you brought that up, is a .22 caliber rifle.
00:47:58.280The bore is not wide enough for it to be legal for deer hunting in most states, the diameter of the bullet, I should say, of the projectile.
00:48:04.760And I'm glad you brought that up, Dr. Lott.
00:49:28.340I've always, always, but since this debate has been happening now for the last few months, I've said it is a very simple solution that we had after 9-11, the federal flight deck officer program.
00:49:39.220We gave pilots the opportunity to be armed.
00:49:41.960And if they so chose to be armed, we put them through a rigid training.
00:49:45.560To me, that would work very nicely on the state level, just mirroring the federal model that's been proven to work very well.
00:50:25.400Like I said, we're running out of time.
00:50:26.340You're never going to sell that in New York or California.
00:50:28.540Look, I have no problem with having—all I'm saying is I've heard some things, like in Florida, they briefly talked about something like 140 hours of training.
