00:01:04.000 Okay, then you want to look around.
00:01:05.300 This is the 77 WABC
00:01:08.360 minicast.
00:01:11.080 Uh, let's
00:01:12.140 go to, oh, of
00:01:14.020 course, a Sunday wouldn't be complete
00:01:15.820 without Joaquin. Line 4.
00:01:18.000 How you doing? Joaquin,
00:01:19.960 what's up, man? Good evening,
00:01:22.140 And you ask me, you know what, you are the new but risque Rush Limbaugh.
00:01:25.660 Ah, thank you.
00:01:26.640 I take that as a compliment, sir.
00:01:28.420 Yes, it is.
00:01:29.040 It's meant to be.
00:01:29.700 And, you know, I keep forgetting to tell Vinny to put me down as OPA on the call board.
00:01:33.660 Oh.
00:01:34.360 Take you back a little bit.
00:01:35.780 But anyway, you know something?
00:01:37.440 As far as, I got a little list of a couple things here.
00:01:40.000 And that last one that you touched on, because I looked at this a while back.
00:01:43.200 Yeah.
00:01:43.380 When it comes down to presidents that dodged the draft, not one of them, every single one of them, Biden and Clinton,
00:01:49.740 and every one of them got more deferments than Donald Trump did.
00:01:53.400 And George Bush, though he was a pilot,
00:01:56.960 he went to the Georgia National Guard where there was no danger of him going to Vietnam.
00:02:01.440 Yeah, they weren't going to send him off.
00:02:03.020 I mean, I give him credit for even joining a National Guard
00:02:06.140 and learning how to fly an airplane.
00:02:08.060 I mean, geez.
00:02:09.520 But, yeah, he wasn't going anywhere, and he knew it.
00:02:13.200 He had all the power he needed in his family.
00:02:16.880 And somebody actually, there was somebody in an ROTC, it was a military officer, I don't
00:02:22.000 remember his name, I think it was a major, and he even said that Bill Clinton was technically
00:02:26.080 actually a draft dodger.
00:02:29.040 And I don't have the information in front of me on that.
00:02:32.820 So anybody who sits there and wants to say that about President Donald Trump, I got news
00:02:37.680 for you.
00:02:37.900 Every other president from that era did the same thing.
00:02:40.960 Yeah, did the same thing.
00:02:42.420 What are you going to do?
00:02:43.800 And, you know, I'm getting tired of living in a country of masochists that want to be conquered.
00:02:48.600 Yeah. 1.00
00:02:49.180 And we're going to be conquered by Islam. 1.00
00:02:51.340 And the fact of the matter is, is that if it benefits Israel, it benefits us. 0.99
00:02:54.840 And if it benefits us and Israel, it benefits Western civilization. 0.74
00:02:58.580 And quite frankly, we are really the only bastions of Western civilization left, except for maybe Poland and a couple actually Eastern European countries. 0.88
00:03:06.580 And everybody else is just basically surrendering, you know? 1.00
00:03:09.820 Yeah, we're dying a slow death here with this immigration, and I don't care anymore about legal or illegal immigration. No one. Shut it down. If you're an amazing person from a civilized Western nation, you're an engineer, you're a scientist, come on over. Bring your family. 1.00
00:03:31.920 But anyone else, I don't know where this delusion came from, that we are supposed to, we're obligated as the United States of America to take every piece of garbage that feels they want a better life to come in here, much to the inevitable destruction of our country. 1.00
00:03:51.400 and you know getting out of afghanistan there's so many things that people really don't have any
00:03:57.420 kind of education on getting out of afghanistan was a big mistake and trump in this first
00:04:01.900 administration was not going to do that he was not going to surrender bagram air force base yeah
00:04:06.740 you know and they were going to keep a contingent you know military forces there and it's the state
00:04:11.100 of the art military base and if you happen to look on a map it happens to border almost every
00:04:15.120 single one of our uh quote-unquote enemies unfriendly countries china russia you know and
00:04:20.340 the list goes on. So quite frankly, it was one of the most strategic places to have a base.
00:04:25.340 And under Trump, there was, I believe, nobody, no military servicemen were killed over there,
00:04:30.080 and they still were able to help the Afghanis control the place by using special forces
00:04:36.180 out of Bagram. So that was a whole lie that was, you know, perpetrated in front of us, 0.79
00:04:41.640 and nobody has no idea. And I also get disgusted when they talk about VJ Day,
00:04:45.940 because, quite frankly, it wasn't communist China that helped defeat the Japanese.
00:04:49.740 It was Taiwan. 0.99
00:04:50.900 It was the Chiang Kai-shek nationals who, after they did all the bleeding and dying 0.83
00:04:55.040 and fighting against the Japanese, fled to Taiwan when the communists took over mainland China.
00:05:01.120 So that's another thing that people have no idea of what's going on over there.
00:05:05.720 And I am not a fan of the Statue of Liberty.
00:05:08.680 No. I like the statue.
00:05:11.240 I'm definitely not a fan of the plaque that some idiot slapped on it. 0.99
00:05:15.940 That everyone thinks is somehow law now. 0.99
00:05:19.540 They think it's our policy and it's legally our policy that we have to take wretched refuse.
00:05:28.080 I don't want wretched refuse.
00:05:30.560 I put it out on the curb every week and they haul it away. 1.00
00:05:35.300 Why do I want it imported from other countries? 1.00
00:05:38.700 Right.
00:05:39.080 And, you know, and the thing with this, it wasn't really designed to go to the Suez Canal in the Middle East.
00:05:43.220 and they had to change their head when they brought it over here, you know.
00:05:46.660 So we were sloppy seconds as far as that goes, you know.
00:05:49.680 Yeah.
00:05:50.640 Things make nothing but trouble.
00:05:52.100 World War II, right?
00:05:54.740 No, the police actions that we've had after World War II, okay? 0.80
00:05:58.120 Everybody says how bad Hitler and the Nazis were, right? 0.80
00:06:00.640 Well, the problem is that all the communists, you know, afterwards, 0.80
00:06:04.200 they killed scores more people than the Nazis did. 0.67
00:06:07.720 So when we went to war in Korea, basically stopping the Chinese, you know, where we did, 0.95
00:06:12.600 I've got 39th parallel, whatever it is, you know, actually, you know, it's the same. 0.98
00:06:19.460 It's the same justification. 0.86
00:06:21.260 If you want to say, you know, you were stopping Hitler to stop him from murdering people. 0.86
00:06:25.160 And that's the same thing goes with Vietnam. 0.78
00:06:27.240 You know, I mean, what were we doing?
00:06:28.600 I had friends that fled Saigon, actually.
00:06:30.880 Yeah.
00:06:31.300 You know, and and so it's the same thing.
00:06:33.160 It was it.
00:06:34.180 Obviously, I guess it was the was not the real reason behind us.
00:06:37.180 I mean, you know, people in hindsight, people look at things with the knowledge
00:06:42.460 that they have years later and then look back and go, oh, this shoulda, coulda, woulda, 0.69
00:06:47.960 especially with Vietnam.
00:06:49.240 At the time, there was this communist fear, the fear of the domino effect where, you know,
00:06:58.480 you let one nation fall under communist rule and they all fall.
00:07:03.960 And that's how we looked at it.
00:07:07.380 And that's how we got involved with it.
00:07:10.160 Now, later on, you could look in hindsight and go, yeah, was it really that big an issue?
00:07:14.620 And we wound up pulling out, and the communists swooped right in anyway.
00:07:19.880 So you can't look at things with the convenience of hindsight.
00:07:25.880 Joaquin, thank you, man.
00:07:26.760 I got to go, but I appreciate the call.
00:07:30.580 Yeah, people like to look at things, or they look at things that are happening in the moment
00:07:36.740 and think they know everything about it.
00:07:38.840 that's kind of another thing that
00:07:40.980 people don't seem to
00:07:43.220 understand. You don't know.
00:07:46.160 Whatever you think you
00:07:47.260 know, you don't know. There is a fog
00:07:49.420 of war, and it's not even just
00:07:51.200 war. Everything
00:07:52.760 has a fog over
00:07:55.240 it these days. All of your information
00:07:57.200 and
00:07:58.560 war especially.
00:08:01.060 You're not supposed to know what's going on.
00:08:03.260 They're not going to tell you.
00:08:05.380 And that's where we are right now.
00:08:06.840 So we sit, we wait, and see.
00:08:36.840 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:08:39.840 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:08:43.840 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.
