Rebel News Podcast - Off The Cuff Declassified： Trump vs. Trudeau, Robert DeNiro, Parkland shooting

00:00:00.000 Today on Off the Cuff Declassified, the war awards between Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau

00:00:04.940 escalates. What can we expect from the Trump-Kim summit in North Korea?

00:00:09.320 We'll discuss Robert De Niro goes unhinged at the Tony Awards and a former Secret Service agent

00:00:16.520 warned authorities in Parkland, Florida, that Stoneman Douglas High School was unsafe

00:00:21.800 weeks before the shooting.

00:00:28.800 Lots of drama after the G7 summit in Quebec last week, but I don't understand why. I don't know

00:00:35.360 why. Donald Trump went to that summit and did something apparently unprecedented that has

00:00:42.620 people hysterical. The president of the United States of America actually had the audacity

00:00:51.040 to put America first after running on a platform, after winning an election because he told the

00:01:00.520 world, I'm going to put America first. And really, in the final analysis, that's all Donald Trump is

00:01:06.300 guilty of. Going there and telling the member nations, the EU nations, specifically Canada,

00:01:12.340 this is war of words with Justin Trudeau that we're going to get into. But Donald Trump, again,

00:01:17.680 had the audacity to not want 270% tariffs charged on American dairy goods going into Canada

00:01:27.400 without the United States doing the same or Canada removing these draconian levies. This is

00:01:34.960 so ridiculous. The hysteria on the left, among the neocons, among people like John McCain. 0.97

00:01:43.800 Now, John McCain, a guy who is is saying that America's. John McCain's tweets are are beyond

00:01:53.280 the pale. I I'm going to I'm queuing one up for you. I'm going to find it for you. But one of the

00:01:58.660 things John McCain said, and let me let me dig it up, is that John McCain basically is apologizing

00:02:06.120 to the world, apologizing, apologizing, because America actually put America forward at the G7

00:02:16.220 summit. John McCain tweeted to our allies, bipartisan majorities of Americans remain pro free trade,

00:02:25.840 ready, pro globalization and supportive of alliances based on 70 years of shared values.

00:02:34.480 Americans stand with you, even if our president doesn't. Now, McCain tweeted this out on Saturday,

00:02:41.500 Saturday evening, a little before 9 p.m.

00:02:44.640 And immediately was was slammed on Twitter for tweeting that Americans are not pro globalization.

00:02:53.480 Americans remain pro free trade. Yeah, look, free trade is great. Free trade is wonderful.

00:03:01.160 Free trade makes the world go round. But it must be fair trade. Fair trade is imperative

00:03:07.720 because it's not free trade when one side charges tariffs and the other doesn't. This this ludicrous

00:03:15.760 assertion by guys like McCain, by these neocons, by these rhinos, that the United States must continue 0.95

00:03:22.660 to be the world's doormat is is quite frankly, just inexplicable to me. It is absolutely inexplicable.

00:03:30.240 Now they're talking about Navarro and others in the White House are talking about Canada's Justin

00:03:35.260 Trudeau acting meek. Trump tweeted PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our G7

00:03:42.800 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, quote, U.S. tariffs are kind of

00:03:49.500 insulting and that he, quote, will not be pushed around. Trump went on to say very dishonest and weak. 0.73

00:03:55.020 Our tariffs are in response to his 270 percent on dairy. So Peter Navarro then went on Fox News

00:04:04.040 and he said there's a special place in hell for for any foreign leader like I read it to you that 0.82

00:04:10.860 engages in bad faith diplomacy with Donald Trump and tries to stab him in the back on the way out 0.98

00:04:16.060 the door. Now, I think that Trudeau is being incredibly weak. He's being incredibly weak.

00:04:21.680 The G7 for him was more about his hairdo and practicing handshakes with going to practice

00:04:28.120 handshakes with Trump. I mean, Trudeau is really Obama. He's Canadian Obama. They expect the world

00:04:36.760 to be a certain way. They love the accolades and the celebration they receive when they walk into a room.

00:04:44.220 They really don't want to do work. They don't want to do anything. Then you saw it from Don

00:04:50.100 John McCain, Don McCain, John McCain as well. He he's he's out of his mind. Now,

00:04:58.880 John McCain is very sick, man. I wonder I wonder if John McCain actually wrote that tweet. 0.93

00:05:05.260 But again, all Donald Trump is doing, all Donald Trump is doing.

00:05:11.600 Is putting America not even first, but on an equal footing with the rest of the world,

00:05:17.420 when Donald Trump says to Germany, if you don't square things away, we're going to tag,

00:05:23.220 we're going to tariff. Or hell, we might even restrict the import of Mercedes and BMWs. Now,

00:05:29.420 that's not really going to happen. Okay. But you can't enter a negotiation without

00:05:37.020 leverage. You can't do it. The United States has tremendous leverage, tremendous leverage.

00:05:45.500 Our GDP is $18 trillion in the neighborhood of $18 trillion. Canada's is somewhere in the neighborhood

00:05:53.580 of a trillion dollars. I'll give you the number right now. Right now. Canada's GDP, as we see right

00:06:02.800 now, according to the CIA Factbook and a few other sources, is one and a half trillion dollars. So

00:06:12.280 the United States is literally 10 times larger in terms of an economy than Canada's.

00:06:18.460 Redo needs us. But everybody before Trump, and I like that Donald Trump said, look, I'm not only

00:06:26.460 blaming Barack Obama. And I'm going back 50 years. Trade became imbalanced, became upside down for the

00:06:33.580 United States over a decade. I love to blame things on Obama. But Obama didn't do more or less than any

00:06:41.060 other previous president to create the trade imbalance. Obama simply didn't do anything. And he allowed

00:06:46.600 the imbalance to grow. Now, I didn't expect Obama to do anything. George W. Bush for finding out more

00:06:52.500 and more was a globalist. I believe he loved this nation, but he was a really an establishment guy

00:06:56.980 and he was a globalist. This all evidenced by John McCain's tweet. John McCain duped the world in

00:07:03.020 believing he was a conservative. John McCain is as liberal as it gets. He's a man who truly believes in

00:07:08.620 a globalized new world order. Something that no one wants. No, a bipartisan majority of Americans

00:07:15.520 do not want a new world order. John McCain do not want globalism. Like I said, he's a very sick guy.

00:07:22.000 So I wonder who really wrote that tweet for him. I don't believe that John McCain himself wrote that 0.98

00:07:28.500 tweet. I just I don't buy it. Now also got Larry Kudlow dumping. Kudlow said that Trudeau

00:07:37.580 had basic. What did he say? He had he called Trudeau's verbal attacks on the president

00:07:43.180 amateurish and a betrayal. Kudlow went further than Trump. He said he really did kind of stab us in

00:07:51.500 the back. His exact quote was he really kind of stabbed us in the back. He did a great disservice

00:07:56.660 for the whole B7. He demeaning Trudeau. Now they I don't know why these countries are flipping

00:08:07.440 out that Trump wants to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum. I truly don't. Well, I do. They

00:08:12.920 were so used to the United States for years saying, all right, we know how this globalism game is

00:08:18.220 played. We know how it's played. I got to talk tough. I got to talk tough. Nothing's going to

00:08:24.720 change. Don't you worry about it. I understand the new world order. We're all going to be on equal

00:08:29.100 footing. So you're going to win the trade war. It's not a trade war. We're going to be the world

00:08:34.000 doormat. We're going to let you do whatever you want. But those days are over. Those days

00:08:40.040 are over. Now, Kudlow said that Trudeau, quote, busted up the G7 summit with his remarks. And I

00:08:49.120 apologize. I'm just terrible time of year for my allergies. My voice has been terrible on air. So

00:08:53.820 sorry about that. He then called the comments. Kudlow called Trudeau's comment. A betrayal

00:09:00.000 and sophomoric. We did in good for in faith, he said, Kudlow. I personally negotiated with

00:09:09.140 Prime Minister Trudeau. The non-factual part of this is that they have enormous tariffs.

00:09:18.780 Now, Dianne Feinstein and the Democrats are saying it's one thing for Mr. Trump to get angry,

00:09:24.260 but another to ditch the agreement because Trump didn't sign on to that G7 agreement.

00:09:30.000 And I think he's right. I think he's 100% right. If the deal isn't right for you, get up and walk

00:09:39.140 off the table. But Feinstein's quote was, I understand the president was upset, but to walk

00:09:44.140 away from our allies was a big mistake. But it wasn't. But it wasn't. Why do the allies get the

00:09:53.460 better end of the deal than us? Get the better end of the deal and we get the short end of the deal.

00:09:56.780 If they're truly our allies, they would have wanted us to stay at the table. They would have

00:10:02.440 made accommodations to keep us there. But they're so used to ganging up on the United States and

00:10:08.880 getting their way. That never crossed their mind. And Trump looks at it. He says, this is nuts.

00:10:15.880 This isn't the way things are supposed to go. This is ridiculous. I'm here. We're the United States. 0.99

00:10:21.200 We've got an economy larger than all of you guys combined with the exception of China.

00:10:27.620 You need us more than we need you. We've got the money. We've got the consumers. We buy your stuff

00:10:35.360 and you're penalizing our manufacturers, our farmers. Now, there's another issue here. Okay.

00:10:42.580 Manufacturing jobs, producing jobs are the backbone of any economy. You got to make things to have a

00:10:51.100 GDP. You've got to farm things, produce things, grow things, create things. We've lost our manufacturing

00:10:59.800 sector. It was soaring. After World War II into the 70s, it dipped to its lowest point ever under Barack

00:11:08.100 Obama. And a lot of that has to do with unfair trade, things being made in Canada, all those in 0.95

00:11:15.300 China, in Mexico, in Taiwan, all those jobs going offshore, and even to an extent in Canada.

00:11:23.180 All those jobs going offshore, our manufacturing sector was decimated. And as a result, our steel

00:11:30.540 industry, our aluminum industry, we only have one aluminum smelter in this nation that can produce,

00:11:38.700 that can smelt military-grade aluminum, aluminum for aircraft and other military uses. One in the United

00:11:46.060 States of America. That's a fundamental problem. And that's what Donald Trump is trying to fix.

00:11:51.120 We need to be competitive again. The United States is again producing gas and oil. And we're

00:11:58.480 going to be the largest net producer of oil by 2023. We're already doing incredible things with

00:12:04.540 natural gas. Our economy will be stronger as a result. It'll be impenetrable. Economic security is

00:12:11.840 national security. But what they don't understand, what the neocons and the globalists want, they don't

00:12:18.740 understand is that America is behind the president. What they want is America to be cut down to size.

00:12:23.200 They need to be loved by the rest of the world. They genuinely care. A guy like John McCain genuinely

00:12:30.820 cares more about what Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, and Theresa May think of him than he does what

00:12:36.300 Americans think of him. And that is a fundamental problem when you're a United States senator.

00:12:43.720 It's a bigger problem when you're the president of the United States. A much bigger problem.

00:12:50.340 Donald Trump cares far less about what Macron, May, Merkel think of him. He doesn't care. You see my

00:12:58.200 friend Rick Grinnell over there as our ambassador to Germany, basically putting Germany in their place

00:13:02.940 and saying, hey, we are going to back the conservatives. Enough with globalism. Enough

00:13:08.560 with this nonsense. We're not doing it anymore. And the liberals and the neocons are absolutely

00:13:15.260 hysterical. I think what the president did at this summit was spot on. I think that the president of

00:13:23.040 the United States understands, he truly understands what's going to be needed to get fair trade.

00:13:29.580 Free trade is great. Fair trade is imperative. Remember that. And sometimes to get what you need,

00:13:34.800 you'll walk off the table. You'll walk away. Now, final analysis. These countries need the U.S.

00:13:42.000 They're not going to go enter into the G7 and make it a G6 and go proceed without us. Of course they're

00:13:48.600 not. They're nervous wrecks. That's why they're doing this. And I guarantee you, they are livid at Trudeau.

00:13:56.400 But see, they've got to save face with their own voters. Their own voters are very liberal.

00:14:00.940 Their own voters despise the big, bad, evil imperial United States. All nonsense. Not Canadians. 0.99

00:14:07.960 Not the growing right in France and Germany, but the ones that elected Macron and Merkel and May and Trudeau.

00:14:17.120 So they're pandering to their individual basis. That's why they're slamming Trump. It's not about what's best

00:14:23.120 for their nations. It's not about what's best for the United States. Trump is playing to his base,

00:14:29.280 the 63 million Americans who voted for him, which flies in the face of McCain's bipartisan

00:14:34.900 majority of Americans that want globalization. No, they don't.

00:14:39.640 So what's going to wind up happening here is this is going to be a war of might.

00:14:42.120 And when these other countries realize what it means to be penalized by the United States,

00:14:48.540 what it means to have the United States pull out as a trading partner, they're going to wake up to

00:14:55.100 their worst nightmare. And I predict they're going to reverse course very quickly. This is just the

00:15:01.140 shock of the initial smack across the face. They've never had a president of the United States willing

00:15:06.320 to say the United States is more powerful than you. The United States is wealthier than you.

00:15:11.300 And we're calling the shots. They were used to doormat presidents that played the globalism game. 0.84

00:15:16.500 But those days are over. They better get used to this new world order, the one that puts America 0.54

00:15:22.740 back in front, leading by power and by its wealth.

00:15:36.320 So tomorrow is the historic summit between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump in North Korea. Now,

00:15:43.880 there are plenty of neocons and globalists, the same people rooting for Canada, Germany,

00:15:50.260 England and France in the G7. Well, they're rooting probably for Kim to embarrass Donald Trump

00:15:55.760 because they hate Donald Trump more than they love their nation. But Trump's already winning.

00:16:02.660 Number one, Kim is leaving North Korea to go to the summit. There's an Associated Press story titled

00:16:09.760 Isolated Kim Takes Big Gamble Leaving Home for Trump's Summit.

00:16:15.620 But I don't understand why it's such a gamble. The guy wants to be, the guy wants to be

00:16:20.980 considered a player, a legitimate player in the world. And he's got to leave his little North 0.97

00:16:25.860 Korea bubble. So of course, the AP running cover for Kim writes, spare a moment as you anticipate.

00:16:31.900 One of the most unusual summits in modern history to consider North Korea's leader as he left the

00:16:37.820 all encompassing bubble of his locked down stronghold of Pyongyang on Sunday and stepped off a jet onto

00:16:45.540 Singapore soil for his planned sit down with President Donald Trump on Tuesday. There's just

00:16:52.400 no recent precedent for the gamble Kim Jong-un is taking. And what do they think? We're going to

00:16:57.600 kidnap the guy. As far as we know, his despot father only traveled out of the country by train 0.89

00:17:02.500 and rarely at that because of fears of assassination. Him up until his recent high profile summit with

00:17:09.300 South Korea's president on the southern side of their shared border has usually hunkered down behind his

00:17:15.120 vast propaganda and security services or made short trips to autocrat friendly China.

00:17:22.640 They go on to say how it's how Singapore, even though it's somewhat authoritarian, is a bastion of capitalism

00:17:31.360 where capitalism works well. And will Kim perform well in front of 3000 journalists, international journalists?

00:17:37.940 And who cares? Who cares? The only thing I care about in this summit is winning, is getting Kim to denuclearize

00:17:47.380 and making the region safer. China's going to help us do that. China's going to help us do it. Japan's going

00:17:55.200 to help us do it. Japan, by the way, we spoke in the last segment about the G7. Japan was was right in

00:18:01.800 sync with President Trump at the G7. Oh, they can't publicly say it, but they know. They know because

00:18:08.760 their GDP is about four times larger than everybody else's. Japan thrives. They thrive. And they know

00:18:17.060 with what fair trade means. But back to North Korea. Now, Japan has a very critical stake in North

00:18:22.940 Korea because these rockets North Korea has, well, they can reach Japan. And if Kim has a nuclear 0.82

00:18:29.080 tipped rocket, it's a direct threat to Japan, a direct threat to Japan and a direct threat to us 0.98

00:18:36.340 because we've been a solid ally of Japan since shortly after World War Two. Now, I've said on this show

00:18:43.900 many, many times, many, many times that as much as diplomacy and military might can rid a nation of

00:18:53.920 a dictatorship, can rid communism, capitalism is really what does it. And I've said many, many times

00:19:00.880 on this show and others, as much as it was Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John Paul Two

00:19:06.080 that brought the Berlin Wall down, what kept it down was McDonald's in Moscow.

00:19:11.040 was capitalism flooding. Capitalism is a rushing river. Once its flow starts, you can't stop it.

00:19:22.140 You literally, you literally have to build a dam. You have to build another wall to stop the flood of

00:19:29.860 capitalism. But it doesn't matter because it's always going to be water on either side of that dam.

00:19:35.480 You're never really going to stop it. It's always going to be there. And that's one of the reasons

00:19:41.400 that while others have said, even those in conservative media, people I like, Trump never

00:19:45.980 should have taken the summit. Trump never should have legitimized Kim. He never should have legitimized

00:19:49.420 North Korea. I said, no, he should have for a couple of reasons. First being we needed the door to crack 0.87

00:19:56.540 open because we needed intelligence about North Korea. We need to crack that door open. They've done a 0.99

00:20:03.020 great job that, that, uh, AP piece is right with regards that North Korea is a nation that's locked

00:20:09.080 down. We know very little about it. We have very little intelligence coming out of North Korea.

00:20:16.720 There's some, but what we can glean from China and other Western nations, where we can embed our spies and

00:20:23.220 have them pose as members of other nations, other security services, intelligence services

00:20:27.720 that share with us, but it's nowhere near what we have on, on China and Russia and Iran,

00:20:33.780 all the other players out there. We need it. We desperately need it. But if we can get a McDonald's

00:20:42.140 in Moscow, we can get a Chick-fil-A, um, um, uh, Pyongyang, a Chick-fil-A, whatever the fast food

00:20:49.020 chain is. I don't care. That's how you fundamentally change North Korea, North Korea changes for the 0.91

00:20:55.840 better. When South Korea's Hyundai's and Kia's are sitting in North Korean driveways and South Korea's 0.58

00:21:02.020 Samsung TVs are hanging on North Korean living room walls. That's when North Korea truly becomes a free 1.00

00:21:09.580 and open society. Now, I don't know if that's ever going to happen. Baby steps. There's an interesting

00:21:13.760 story in the Daily Mail and it's titled, will, will Kim seek burger diplomacy? North Korea leader

00:21:22.020 could look to bring McDonald's and a Trump branded hotel to Pyongyang to secure security and investment

00:21:30.440 at summit. North Korean officials say the isolated regime wants to modernize its economy.

00:21:37.060 They said North Korea wants to become a normal country. They said wants to become a normal country

00:21:43.460 at a dinner in April. A South Korean official who was there that the North wants us investments

00:21:49.400 asked for examples of US sponsors. The North Korean representative cited McDonald's and a Trump

00:21:57.140 tower. Now that would be hilarious. And what a win if a Trump tower went into Pyongyang when this guy

00:22:03.960 denuclearized, it might as well put an American flag in the center of the city. Well, I see, I think this

00:22:10.280 is exceptional. I think the mere fact that they're open to it is exceptional. It's further than anyone else

00:22:17.380 has gotten to look. I don't trust North Korea, but this guy's getting a taste of something. He's

00:22:22.180 realizing that this isn't a globalist administration. Kim is getting a taste of something, realizing that

00:22:27.080 this is not a globalist administration, that Trump isn't going to dupe him into a meeting, dupe him

00:22:32.340 into a deal with the intention of changing regimes. Trump would rather control him. And I think he knows

00:22:38.680 that. I think he knows that Trump would much rather control him than change regimes because look, better

00:22:46.220 the devil you know than the devil you don't. I think that we need to also understand him now, more press,

00:22:56.340 more of an international spotlight is on him, which creates problems for his Chinese masters.

00:23:01.580 And we talked about GDPs, right? Canada's being 1.5 trillion, the U.S. being near 18 trillion,

00:23:08.200 17 plus trillion, Japan being in the $5 trillion range. Well, North Korea's GDP is only 12.4 billion,

00:23:18.340 billion. Put it in perspective. Apple, Apple is getting close to an $800 billion market valuation.

00:23:28.780 One U.S. company, one U.S. company is almost 70 times more valuable than the entire nation of North

00:23:40.360 Korea. $12.4 billion is nothing. It's a pittance. Put it in another perspective. It costs about $2.2

00:23:50.400 billion to build a B-2 stealth bomber. We have 20 or 22 of them. North Korea, if they did nothing else, 0.74

00:23:58.060 could only afford six of them. They would be completely broke. They would have nothing left

00:24:03.680 if they liquidated every dollar they have. They'd only be able to buy six of what we have 20 or 22

00:24:11.960 of. They're a very, very poor nation. Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos could literally buy and sell them

00:24:20.520 several times over. They're broke as a nation. Dead broke. And you can see it by when those night

00:24:27.920 shots of South Korea, full of lights and thriving in North Korea is dark. It's dark. Nothing going on

00:24:35.420 there. It's a dismal or place. Terrible, terrible place. Guy is 34 years old. I think this guy wants

00:24:45.180 to at least try to put a little more money in his own pocket. Look, he's a dictator. So if North Korea's

00:24:53.960 economy does well, that means he's funneling that money to offshore accounts. That money's in

00:24:58.240 Switzerland somewhere. A good chunk of it. But if the people live better, so what? And I think Trump

00:25:05.040 understands this. Now, this is a good story because it says the U.S. price for normalization,

00:25:13.060 complete, verifiable, and irreversible. The nuclearization is one Pyongyang has never before 0.73

00:25:19.400 been willing to pay, seeing nuclear weapons as the ultimate guarantee of the Kim regime's survival.

00:25:25.160 Sure. But after the April summit, Kim and Moon, the South Korean president, signed a joint

00:25:31.460 declaration detailing their joint goal to work towards a complete denuclearization of the Korean 0.89

00:25:36.920 peninsula. And that could be in the cards with another historic summit between Kim and Trump

00:25:42.100 set for tomorrow. Now, Pompeo dangled the prospect, it says, of U.S. investment in North Korea

00:25:47.600 with upgrades in energy, infrastructure, technology, and agriculture if a deal is struck.

00:25:52.820 That's a game changer for North Korea, which is why I have high hopes going in. 1.00

00:25:59.300 North Korea has nothing we want. Nothing. Nothing. If they develop five, ten nukes,

00:26:06.800 we could take that threat out if, God forbid, they ever launched. It'd be the worst mistake,

00:26:11.340 and he knows that. They don't have industry. They don't have agriculture. They don't have energy.

00:26:15.680 They've got nothing. We have all the leverage in the world going in. All the leverage in the world

00:26:22.120 going in. So Pompeo dangled that. He said, the secretary of state said, quote, this will be

00:26:28.620 Americans coming in to help build out the energy grid. They need enormous amounts of electricity in

00:26:34.340 North Korea to work with them to develop infrastructure, all the things that the North

00:26:38.720 Korean people need, the capacity for American agriculture to support North Korea so they can eat 1.00

00:26:45.560 meat and have healthy lives. Those are the kinds of things that if we get what it is the president

00:26:52.940 has demanded, the complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization of North Korea that the American

00:26:59.760 people will offer in spades. That was U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Now, he's met twice with Kim.

00:27:07.400 He's creating a relationship, and he believes that Kim is willing to play ball. They've been willing

00:27:15.640 to play ball. Now, nobody trusts Kim, but I get what Pompeo's doing. He's going to let Kim save face.

00:27:21.560 No one trusts Kim. The guy does have nukes. South Korea is vital. Not just about nukes. North Korea has

00:27:29.360 enough conventional weapons to destroy South Korea. You combine that with those rockets, you hit Japan. 0.76

00:27:36.320 Now you're hitting two critical economic powers in the region. Better to do this. Better to get this

00:27:45.080 guy to a table. Get him to the table. Get him to denuclearize. Help his economy. Let capitalism creep

00:27:53.020 in because the minute it does, the minute it does, the regime has changed. You might have the same guy

00:27:59.440 running the country. But slowly but surely, North Korea will become a much better version of its 1.00

00:28:07.040 former self. A much better version. But again, like I said when we talked about trade, no one in the

00:28:14.460 world is used to a strong president, a strong United States. They're so used to weakness that they don't

00:28:22.140 understand. Trump can pull this off because we've been we've been run. The Oval Office has been

00:28:28.420 occupied by globalists for so long. No longer the case. Trump's a doer. He's a guy who just wants

00:28:35.080 results. He wants to get things done. He wants to zero balance the budget, put another checkmark in

00:28:39.900 the win column and move on to the next task. He's doing that with the G7. He's going to do it with

00:28:45.120 North Korea. Now, barring any major hiccups, I predict, and we're going to be talking about it 1.00

00:28:49.780 on Wednesday's show because the summit will probably get the results of the summit after

00:28:55.260 tomorrow's show, unless something happens very, very early in the day. Kim also is only scheduled

00:29:00.980 to be there for five hours after the summit begins. So we don't expect this to go very long.

00:29:07.240 Summit's supposed to begin, I think, at 9 a.m.

00:29:10.040 Yeah, and he's I'm doing the math in my hand. His plane is scheduled to be wheels up at 2 p.m.

00:29:18.120 And so hopefully we hear something that would mean he's got to take an hour or two to get to the

00:29:23.340 airport security and whatnot to leave the summit to say his goodbyes. Really only to give him three

00:29:28.580 or four hours of the table. Right. So this thing is going to be quick. This is not going to be an

00:29:35.220 all day summit unless he pushes his travel back. But right now, Kim is scheduled to leave five hours

00:29:41.500 before the start time of the summit. And I think I think our post analysis is going to be very

00:29:48.160 positive. Kim is unpredictable, so I'm not going to say 100 percent. I predict it will be. But even

00:29:53.480 if we walk away from the table, as we've seen Trump already do once, even if we walk away,

00:29:58.000 I predict we're going to be back at it. But in my gut, I'll give you a better than 50 percent

00:30:04.560 chance analysis. The United States is going to come out of tomorrow with a win.

00:30:19.660 I know you're not going to believe this next story. I know you're not going to believe it.

00:30:22.800 But Robert De Niro lost his mind at the Tony Awards saying F Trump. We expect that. De Niro's

00:30:30.540 hated Trump because De Niro's your typical leftist. He's hated Trump ever since Trump

00:30:34.700 got elected. These morons don't even know why. Look, Robert De Niro is just turning into a bitter 1.00

00:30:39.280 old man. And if I was a guy that had gone from raging bull, taxi driver, the godfather to

00:30:45.600 goodfellas to B comedies, B movie comedies that absolutely flop at the box office,

00:30:52.640 well, I'd be a little upset, too. I'd be miserable and bitter. So he goes to the Tony

00:30:57.340 Awards, which was like a who's who of liberals who hate America. And he stands up. And instead

00:31:04.140 of, you know, being dignified, instead of making it about Broadway, which is what the Tony Awards

00:31:10.340 are about, something I don't watch anyway, he said, quote, I'm going to say one thing,

00:31:15.160 F Trump. It's no longer down with Trump. It's F Trump pumping his fists in the air like

00:31:20.920 some weirdo. Now, of course, of course, the crowd gave De Niro a standing ovation. 0.56

00:31:34.340 The crowd gave De Niro a standing ovation.

00:31:37.400 Now, he was doing this while he was giving some kind of accolade to Bruce Springsteen

00:31:45.200 for his show, Springsteen on Broadway. Springsteen is another far left weirdo. I don't like Springsteen's

00:31:54.200 music. It bores me. I know when I say that people go, you don't like Bruce. You don't

00:31:58.300 like Bruce. I really don't. I always found his music boring and formulaic. And I've never

00:32:03.420 been a Springsteen fan. And his far left radicalism made me even less of a Springsteen

00:32:09.420 fan. But this is this underscores a bigger problem here. He gets a standing ovation from

00:32:15.280 the crowd. The crowd on national, international television didn't care about offending 63

00:32:24.060 million Americans. That's how little Hollywood thinks of you. That's how little the entertainment

00:32:31.520 industry thinks of you. They're your betters. They're the elite. They know better than you.

00:32:38.640 You're the fool. You're the moron. You voted for Donald Trump or you're incorrigible. You're 1.00

00:32:46.240 insufferable. You support America first, not globalism. How dare you? How unenlightened you 0.96

00:32:53.180 are. They're so much better than you. They know so much more than you do. So they get up and

00:33:00.140 they give De Niro and his vulgarity a standing ovation. And basically what they're saying is

00:33:06.480 not just F Trump, it's F you to the 63 million Americans, 63 million Americans that voted for

00:33:13.940 Donald Trump. You know, I say and sometimes I get people agree with me and then some don't.

00:33:19.720 I say that we're in Civil War 2.0, but it's a culture war and we're in it. And I've been

00:33:26.340 saying it and I've had people say we're not, we're not, we're not. And I've had many people

00:33:29.060 say we are, we are, we are. Interestingly, veterans often agree with me. Oh yeah, we're

00:33:33.860 in a war, Civil War 2.0. Like we got it. Hollywood proved it. You might not think you're in Civil

00:33:40.960 War 2.0, but the far, far left, the media power of the far left, oh, they're in Civil War

00:33:48.240 2.0. They want you ideologically dead. They're fighting very, very hard to win Civil War 2.0.

00:33:56.260 While people on our side say, that's terrible. Don't say that. The left, we want discourse

00:34:01.380 and an honest discourse and we'll get back. I don't want discourse. They want you silenced.

00:34:06.040 They want you to go away. If they could jail you, they would. We see it happening with censorship

00:34:11.640 on social media. We see it happening with conservatives being banned on Facebook and

00:34:17.060 Twitter for things liberals would never be banned for. We see it happening with a guy like Dinesh

00:34:21.720 D'Souza being federally prosecuted. But Rosie O'Donnell doing exactly the same thing, not being 0.99

00:34:28.360 federally prosecuted. D'Souza, of course, being pardoned by Donald Trump. The IRS targeting conservatives

00:34:33.800 and nobody paying the price for that scandal. Lois Lerner collecting a pension. Despite the IRS 1.00

00:34:41.260 targeting conservative groups, weaponizing that agency. You see it in the deep state, weaponizing

00:34:47.040 the intelligence and law enforcement agencies against the Trump campaign. All that happened,

00:34:51.480 despite what they tell you didn't. Of course it happened. It all happened. And it was all

00:34:56.800 disgraceful. It was terrible. And then you see it in Hollywood, in Hollywood, where and Broadway,

00:35:04.760 same people, same stars go to the Tony Awards that go to the Oscars, that go to the Emmys,

00:35:10.160 that go to the MTV Awards, that go to the Grammys. And it's all the same rhetoric. We hate Trump.

00:35:18.080 We hate you. We hate conservatives. Screw Trump. F Trump. F conservatives. F Republicans. 1.00

00:35:24.880 Screw you. We hate you. Half the country. And half the country says, you people are morons. We're 1.00

00:35:32.280 going to boycott you. But not enough do. Not enough people boycott the entertainment industry,

00:35:36.860 because really, at the end of the day, we're a little smarter than they are. They provide a

00:35:41.620 product. We watch the movie. We don't think much about their political stupidity when we're watching

00:35:48.720 the special effects. Something that bothered me, I like the Jurassic Park movies. I think they're fun 1.00

00:35:53.680 and they're interesting. But the new one, I forget the name of it, when it gets hammered by liberal media

00:35:59.920 as being too far left and being ridden with metaphors of racism and misogyny and the environment.

00:36:10.460 And it's like, enough is enough is enough with all this. Enough's enough. I saw a movie,

00:36:17.880 12 Strong, recently about the first special forces unit that went into Afghanistan, the horse soldiers.

00:36:22.580 It was a good movie. It was a great movie. You know why? A lot of action. A lot of guys shooting

00:36:29.700 at each other and killing each other. Historical accuracy. And no underlying far left political

00:36:37.940 messages. Just a good war movie. That's what it was. It was like an old school war movie.

00:36:44.320 That was it. The good guys were likable. The bad guys weren't. They shot at each other. The good

00:36:49.080 guys won. Even better. It was a true story that had a great ending. Well, we've been at war for a

00:36:56.560 long time, but that particular campaign had a great ending. That's the kind of movie Hollywood

00:37:02.000 should make more of. Not these political statements. They flop. But what did the crew at the Tony

00:37:08.920 Awards in the Nero achieve last night? Well, a room full of people patted each other on the back.

00:37:14.200 Right. And 63 million. 63 million Americans now look at them in disgust. I don't know. They won

00:37:22.740 their little battle in that room. Did they lose the war? I hope Americans stopped going to the theater, 0.76

00:37:27.540 but I would venture a guess that people who tend to go to the theater are probably the 60 some

00:37:33.500 odd million Americans that voted for Hillary Clinton. So at the end of the day, they're playing

00:37:39.340 to their base. Maybe maybe they're right. I don't know. But what I do know is Americans need to need

00:37:46.240 to those on the right need to start understanding that the left most certainly is in a war against

00:37:50.960 you. The left hates you. The left wants you ideologically dead. The left doesn't care about

00:37:58.200 you. They would jail you. They would silence you. They would strip your first, second, fourth, fifth.

00:38:04.640 Hell, they would strip all your rights. They would strip the Bill of Rights if they could from

00:38:08.780 conservatives. And it would only apply to liberals in its own perverse way. So wake up. You are in

00:38:14.320 Civil War 2.0. You're in an ideological war. You don't believe me. Just watch a clip of last night's Tony Award.

00:38:28.200 You know, we here at The Rebel have been calling for the removal of Broward County, Florida Sheriff

00:38:35.880 Scott Israel after that horrific massacre that killed 17 at Stoneman Douglas High School in

00:38:41.280 Parkland. Well, there were many, many pieces that fell down. And I have always placed blame on two

00:38:46.860 key players in all this. Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and Broward County School Superintendent

00:38:51.780 Robert Runcie. Runcie has been incredibly closed off. He's not shown any transparency. In 2014,

00:39:00.680 there was an $800 million bond appropriation for schools. It's all a matter of public record.

00:39:05.700 I've presented it on the show before. It can all be researched very, very easily. All of all of the

00:39:11.200 links through the bond appropriation, what was supposed to be sent each school or on the county's

00:39:15.920 website. Stoneman Douglas was to receive $10, $11 million with a portion of that going of the $800

00:39:21.620 million. A portion of that going to school safety, none of that was ever carried out. And with

00:39:26.280 regards to school safety, the only thing they were actually going to do at Stoneman Douglas was upgrade

00:39:30.400 the fire system. Necessary, of course. But we're now learning that two months before the massacre,

00:39:36.760 this is an exclusive story from the Florida Sun Sentinel, which is really Fort Lauderdale area,

00:39:41.680 Broward County's newspaper of record. Let me read this to you. Two months before the massacre at

00:39:46.600 Stoneman Douglas High School, a retired Secret Service agent, warned administrators that the

00:39:53.440 school could be vulnerable to a gunman. And this wasn't just some random guy. This was a guy very

00:39:59.300 familiar with the school and the school very familiar with him. 27 years, retired Secret Service,

00:40:04.820 named Steve Wexler. Both of his kids had graduated from the school and he was often a speaker there

00:40:10.340 to classes on criminal rules of evidence, law enforcement, things of that nature.

00:40:14.340 He's a well-known member of the community. He was a well-known fixture as an expert. The guy

00:40:19.920 imparting his expertise over his career with the Secret Service around the school. He knew the

00:40:23.840 facility incredibly well. Like I said, his kids went there and he knew the buildings. He knew the

00:40:28.900 problem. The retired agent, Steve Wexler, said he made his point by strolling through the school with

00:40:35.960 post-it notes, attaching them to places his bullets or a knife would land if he were an intruder.

00:40:43.800 No one stopped him, he said. The gates were unlocked, students didn't wear any kind of

00:40:50.360 identification, a fire alarm could send students streaming into halls, and the active shooter

00:40:54.820 drills were inadequate. He said he told the administrators, quote, this stuff is blatantly

00:41:01.100 obvious. You've got to fix this. But he never heard another word from the district. That's why I blame

00:41:07.380 Superintendent Robert Runcie. I'm hearing story upon story upon story like this from parents who

00:41:12.400 expressed concerns. I have a friend who is a retired member of Deb Grew of SEAL Team 6.

00:41:18.780 He lives in Parkland. His kids, his son went to the school. His son was in the parking lot as a

00:41:24.500 shooting was happening, waiting to pick up his girlfriend, a senior. His son had graduated last

00:41:29.040 year. His girlfriend was a senior. He was in the parking lot waiting to pick her up while the gunshots

00:41:33.080 went off. His son was able to carry out a victim. I know people very close to this.

00:41:37.160 That was SEAL Team 6. And not long ago, he had always, when he and I were talking about it after

00:41:43.520 the fact, he said, yeah, the place was abysmal with regards to security and how the gates were

00:41:48.660 always open. It was very easy to get in. Well, now there's a state commission that's reviewing

00:41:53.180 the shooting and wants to talk to retired Secret Service agent Wexler. Pinellas County, Florida,

00:41:59.780 the sheriff, Bob Gauterri. That's up near Tampa. Good agency. He's running the commission.

00:42:06.420 Several full-time investigators are still lining up interviews, but they're interested in talking to

00:42:11.140 Wexler, the retired agent. Now, Broward School District spokesperson Tracy Clark confirmed that,

00:42:19.780 quote, a school administrator did discuss security recommendations from an individual last

00:42:25.660 year. He didn't disclose anymore. This is most likely Wexler because Wexler said he had these

00:42:32.160 conversations in December. He pushed and he pushed and he pushed. The district finally took him up,

00:42:38.020 he says, that's a quote, finally took me up on the offer in December when a teacher on behalf of the

00:42:44.560 school security committee asked him to conduct a, quote, unquote, site survey. He didn't know it

00:42:51.100 prompted the request, but he printed out details. It's floor plan, bell schedule, aerial maps.

00:42:57.980 He arrived. Here's what he says, which was ironic even the day that he went to his meetings. The

00:43:03.400 meeting was on December 13th when school district finally took this retired Secret Service agent up

00:43:08.380 on his offer because he arrived for his meeting on December 13th and he pulled in the visitor's

00:43:13.500 parking lot. The gate was open, but he sat there for 20 minutes and no security approached him.

00:43:20.400 What was Scott Peterson, the useless coward school resource officer doing? Then he summoned 0.98

00:43:29.680 assistant principal Winford Porter to his truck and asked permission to go on a demonstration.

00:43:34.680 With Porter as his passenger, Wexler moved his truck into the bus loop through an open gate.

00:43:39.240 Why the heck was it unlocked at midday? He won't. What was the Broward County Sheriff's office doing?

00:43:44.600 With Porter watching from afar, Porter being the assistant principal, he wandered into the school

00:43:49.420 breezeway surrounded by students and staff, then walked through an open back door to the

00:43:53.600 administration building. He had written numbers one through 20 on yellow post-it notes. He didn't

00:43:58.300 want to mess with kids, he said, so he focused on the staff. Assistant principal Denise Reed was the 0.96

00:44:03.980 first adult he saw inside. He said he handed her the first stick. He had said one. He was the first

00:44:08.660 victim who could have been shot or stabbed if he was an intruder. Then he went to the second spot,

00:44:12.960 posting post-it notes on desks and door jams. Nobody challenged him. Nobody approached him.

00:44:18.240 Nobody said, who are you and why are you doing this? He had gone through all 20 post-it notes when he

00:44:26.300 reached Deputy Scott Peterson's office. This is the best part of this. The school resource officer had

00:44:32.060 his back turned the door while working on his computer. And he didn't put one of those post-its

00:44:37.480 on Peterson's door because he said, we're both cops. And it just, he couldn't stomach even simulating

00:44:42.940 a demonstration that a cop would have been shot. But he turned to Porter. And he turned to Porter,

00:44:50.140 the assistant principal, and he said, I ran out of post-it notes. Do you want me to keep going?

00:44:54.760 But he made his point. Over the next hour and a half, he laid out what he perceived to be a security

00:45:01.000 recommendation. And this is what was among them. School gates should be locked and students should wear

00:45:06.280 ID badges showing they belong on campus. School's policy requires the gates to be locked, but he

00:45:11.500 found out they weren't. The shooter, Nicholas Cruz, was able to get on campus because the gate were

00:45:15.700 opened at the end of the school day. Active shooter drills should be routine. Any adult should be able

00:45:21.020 to declare a code red and lock down the school. Current protocol is that an assistant principal

00:45:26.460 who notifies the principal who then makes the call. And he said, that's the problem. And he's right.

00:45:31.080 This stuff happens fast. This playing telephone is no good. By that time, we could sit down and have

00:45:34.980 breakfast. He's right. Shooting incidents jump off in seconds. I've been involved in them.

00:45:39.140 Seconds. Schools should not immediately evacuate students for a fire alarm without first confirming

00:45:45.200 there's a fire. During the shooting, the gunman set up a smoke alarm. Students fled into halls and he

00:45:50.560 had fish in a barrel. I don't mean to be callous. And he said, we learned a lot from Columbine that

00:45:57.680 Stoneman Douglas didn't do. Now, predictably, predictably, the school district isn't commenting.

00:46:06.700 The principals, the assistant principals are saying they learned a lot, but they're not going

00:46:11.020 to comment because it's about safety. And the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is now also

00:46:17.120 reaching out to Wexler, Steve Wexler, the retired Secret Service agent. He said of the Stoneman

00:46:22.740 Douglas administrators, quote, I tell them what to do and then they don't do it. If they didn't want to
