00:04:06.140and the Islamic Ayatollah and the Mullahs took over Iran
00:04:16.060and uh they did in high fashion in 79 taking uh american hostages for over a year well over a
00:04:28.160year during the carter administration this is how long that's been going on you know i was listening
00:04:33.200to uh rock the casbah by the clash and i'm like boy this has been going on for a long time that
00:04:40.420song is awesome and i'm like yeah that was because of this it's actually still this so uh it's been
00:04:48.600going on a long time there have been so many instances of uh violence uh against the united
00:04:58.040states directly the military and why why did we feel we had to give iran a pass for so many yeah
00:05:07.520Yeah, there's been some bombings and some of those embargoes and all the other nonsense political means that politicians use to go, no, no, no, now the finger wag.
00:05:23.080And but no one ever really went, let's just kill the entire power base of Iran until the other day, till Friday night.
00:05:38.760That's that's when Trump and Netanyahu decided, yeah, let's let's just get rid of this.
00:05:48.640Let's just get rid of the problem here.
00:05:51.360and uh the democrats just could not be more crotchety about this whole thing i've been
00:05:58.120reading so many x uh posts and other social media posts from democrats and liberals that are just
00:06:06.680uh giving obama these glowing reviews of how he took care of it hey he had uh iran sign a
00:06:15.160no nuclear proliferation bill and we had um crews going in there to make sure
00:06:23.640that uh they weren't building nuclear weapons or enriching uranium or that yellow cake stuff
00:06:30.840that sounds delicious but uh they were like yeah that's that's how you're supposed to handle it
00:06:37.280Did anyone think Iran was adhering to any of that?
00:06:44.140Like, Trump just ripped it up and now he's bombing them.
00:06:46.960Well, again, you will have plenty of opportunity to chime in on what you think the reasoning is or what have you.
00:06:55.080But like I said, I'm not busted up about it.
00:06:58.100I think, you know, we looked at a few instances over the course of the years when the Iranian people were trying to fight back protests and they had some, the Arab Spring in the Middle East and a few of the Iranian people decided it was time to let the government know that they weren't happy with the way it was being run.
00:07:24.540You know, a pre-Ayatollah Iran was an amazing place.
00:07:32.600There are photos and videos, and look, I'll say it, amazingly hot women in Iran.
00:15:50.520And we'll obviously take a few more calls from people that have strong opinions on this.
00:15:59.580What I wanted to do, though, is go over some of the things that the Islamic Republic over
00:16:06.280there of iran have have done over the course of the years and i remember this one jimmy carter
00:16:13.280the peanut president uh was in charge when uh the iranian students they called them the students
00:16:22.920have taken over the u.s embassy and for 444 days they held americans hostage um under unbelievable
00:16:33.420threats of death and torture and whatnot uh meanwhile the day ronald reagan was elected
00:16:42.040uh or or inaugurated they uh freed the hostages really a good screw you to jimmy carter
00:16:49.700but uh that started this rocking the casbah uh reagan kind of facilitated the whole thing
00:16:58.100In 83, a Hezbollah truck bomb funded and directed by Iran killed 241 United States Marines in Beirut while they slept, the deadliest single day for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima.
00:17:12.660Reagan's response to Iran was heard clearly and never forgotten.
00:17:18.180Kill enough Americans at once and America will leave.
00:22:13.980Now, with regard to the media hyperbole, hyperbolic inflation of these attacks and distortions, in a time of war, you're going to find a lot of media hysteria to whip the war drums.
00:22:30.500So that being said, if you want to find a sober analysis of what's going on in the Middle East, there's one place I recommend.
00:22:37.540I'll get to my point, but I recommend this place first.
00:22:40.280It's the Council for the National Interest, C-N-I-R-G.
00:22:52.840So now there are, you know, people think that, you know, again, we're the world's most powerful military.
00:22:58.920We can bomb people back to the Stone Age and not suffer any consequences.
00:23:03.180Well, you know, I think that this operation is not well thought out.
00:23:07.680The motives for it are suspect. And some of the consequences that you need to consider are this.
00:23:15.040Number one, Iran is a is a stable country.
00:23:20.720And if you destabilize Iran, a number of things can happen.
00:23:24.720It could become a failed state like its neighbor, Afghanistan.
00:23:30.520And if it became if it became a failed state and fractured along ethnic lines,
00:23:35.820yet remember that iran is a multi-ethnic multi-religious state it's not everybody's a
00:23:40.300persian muslim there um if it if it fractured along ethnic lines what you could happen uh it
00:23:47.060because it could become a terrorist haven uh isn't that kind of what it is now though aren't
00:23:52.600they sponsoring you know the fact that they are a functioning nation with an economy with money
00:23:59.100uh that doesn't bode well for the west because they have the finances and resources to sponsor
00:24:08.000terrorism even if it's not directly them doing it there is indisputable proof over the course
00:24:14.420of years that they use proxies like hezbollah and hamas uh and and many others uh to do their bidding
00:24:22.260Well, you know, it's I'm not going to deny that, you know, there's definitely links to Shiite fellow Shiite groups and even the Hamas, which is not a Shiite group.
00:24:34.140It's a Sunni Arab group. You know, they're definitely they're definitely links to these groups.
00:24:39.760But many of their many of their aims are regional as opposed to a group like Al Qaeda.
00:24:47.660Al-Qaeda, remember, is the group that attacked us on 9-11.
00:24:51.840And you mentioned the USS Cole in Yemen.
00:24:53.960That was actually an Al-Qaeda operation.
00:24:55.620You mentioned the embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998.
00:25:11.940That's what I mean by misinformation and hyperbole and disinformation in times of war.
00:25:18.560Al-Qaeda is a Sunni Islamic fundamentalist group that had no ties to the Shiites in Iran, none.
00:25:26.320And with regard to the Taliban, which was hosting Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, when I mentioned a failed state, you know what the Iranians refer to the Taliban as?
00:25:49.060They have been the ATM machine for terrorism over the course of decades.
00:25:56.580And I think it's kind of high time to cut the head off.
00:26:04.820We'll see what happens. But as far as the downside goes, what do you think? Why do you say the downside? Are you talking about attacks on America like we saw in Austin, perhaps some fanatics or a more organized terrorism where it's put together and financed and does a lot more damage?
00:26:37.080Well, thanks to our broken immigration system, there are literally hundreds upon thousands of Iranians living in the United States.
00:26:45.460Many of them are against the regime in Tehran as it exists now.
00:26:49.580But some of them, some of them are devout Shiites who are in favor of Khomeini, in favor of the clerics in Tehran, and do not take lightly the United States bombing their relatives in that country and killing and maiming some of their relatives.
00:27:06.200But isn't it amazing, Matt, that we've seen so many Arab nations siding with America and even Israel, which is insane.
00:27:15.500And Iran is left firing missiles off in every direction, trying to hit every Arab nation that they see aren't supporting them.
00:27:28.300Well, you know, and so far as that, you know, some of these countries, it's more, they're more or less aiming at U.S. military facilities within those nations that you mentioned, like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, et cetera.
00:27:44.460You know, one of the things that, you know, has been happening as of late in the Arab Sunni world in countries like Saudi Arabia and even the UAE, they've been warming to Iran.
00:27:55.540There's been a sort of rapprochement or a lessening of tensions.
00:28:48.500Yeah. As far as I'm concerned, as far as I'm concerned, we should have a neutral foreign policy in the Middle East that takes neither side.
00:28:56.640Perfect world, Matt. That would be Israel.
00:28:59.680That would be a perfect world. Matt, thanks so much for the call. I appreciate it.
00:29:04.840Yeah. Perfect world. I mean, we don't live in a perfect world.
00:29:10.220Every American, I think, or most of them, you know, there's a lot of loonies out there, would say, wouldn't it be great?
00:29:17.620We are just this bubble, the United States of America.
00:32:10.860We do incredible amounts of business with our hated enemies.
00:32:17.920And I think that has prevented more military action over the course of the years than anything else.
00:32:25.740Proxy wars with China or Russia back in the old days.
00:32:29.980Now? No. We've got to fly in that rubber dog crap from China. That's a big seller. It's a big, high-selling item.
00:32:43.500And I don't think people understand how important the economics of the whole thing are.
00:32:50.120Why else would a lot of these Middle Eastern countries not lose their mind and start throwing missiles into Israel?
00:32:59.980Well, because money. It's a world economy now. And that's how everything works. That's how it works. Dave in the Bronx. Let's plunk down line four. Dave in the Bronx. What's up, Dave?
00:33:17.880Anthony, listen, look what the president did.
00:33:23.300He did to Iranian economy, which gave him the excuse, which is rightfully so, of attacking Iran.
00:33:34.520He told them, you know, you can't be killing your people and you can't be dealing with these nuclear weapons.
00:41:46.820This is a guy that murdered, I don't know, millions? Could it be a million people? Hundreds of thousands? We don't even know. This guy is a notorious, tyrannical, oppressive leader of the regime, the Ayatollah.
00:42:07.820And Washington Post, here's what they said.
00:42:13.800With his bushy white beard and easy smile,
00:42:21.740Ayatollah Khomeini cut a more avuncular figure in public
00:42:29.380than his perpetually scowling but much more revered mentor.
00:42:34.320So I looked up avuncular. Look, I've been in broadcasting. I kind of fancy myself to know a few words. I don't have to dip to Google or the dictionary very often. But I had no idea what that could possibly mean. Avuncular.
00:42:56.380And I looked it up and it makes the obituary even funnier.
00:43:02.360It's an uncle type person, like a person revered by the children that gives out advice, has a smile when the nieces and nephews or people that revere that person as an uncle comes up to them.
00:43:20.240You couldn't come up with a more glowing review of this guy from the Washington Post.
00:44:16.780And, you know, all of the liberal rags, though, the New York slimes, all of them had glowing reviews.
00:44:26.600And then you looked at some of the other people that celebrities and whatnot that have died over the course of the year that didn't agree with the liberal propaganda angle.
00:44:39.640And they were given these terrible, terrible memorials of how hateful and racist and sexist they were.
00:44:49.880But that's, you know, that's what we're dealing with.
00:44:52.360I am so glad that we are kind of done with things like the Washington Post.
00:44:58.280That's the only thing I will see from the Washington Post is somebody having reposted a ridiculous obituary for a tyrannical murderer, giving him a glowing review.
00:45:12.780That's all I'll see because they put it on, someone put it on X.
00:45:17.180I don't know anyone that reads the Washington Post or any of these liberal papers.
00:45:24.260Oh, yeah, let me run to the store and get a copy of the New York Times.
00:45:33.440X is the number one source of people's news.
00:45:39.440You can wake up, pick up that phone, scroll through it, and find out what has been going on while you've been asleep in a matter of minutes.
00:45:49.300Imagine pawing through a giant newspaper like you're on the subway in 1950 with a fedora and your suit and tie.
00:45:58.540Ah, what's happening in the world today?
00:52:40.300They have one big barrel that you throw your old who-gives-a-crap-anymore buttons in, like F-ice, and then you reach into the new barrel and you put on that Iranian flag, and I'm with, I stand with the people of Iran or something.
00:53:47.560This dangerous and insane war against Iran not only violates international law
00:53:55.780And our Constitution and War Powers Act, but risks exploding into a vast war of vast proportions, taking the lives of many, including U.S. services.
01:03:31.060Oh, while he did not serve in the Vietnam War, he was heavily influenced in his early writings.
01:03:36.920So I didn't serve because of my flat feet, but I damn well wrote about it and made a lot of money writing about what a piece of garbage Stephen King is.
01:03:49.960Can we all just maybe agree on that one?
01:04:21.900As far as I got a little list of a couple things here.
01:04:24.480And that last one that you touched on, because I looked at this a while back, when it comes down to presidents that dodged the draft, not one of them, every single one of them, Biden and Clinton, and every one of them got more deferments than Donald Trump did.
01:04:37.920And George Bush, though he was a pilot, he went to the Georgia National Guard where there was no danger of him going to Vietnam.
01:04:45.920Yeah, they weren't going to send him off.
01:04:47.460I mean, I give him credit for even joining a National Guard and learning how to fly an airplane.
01:04:52.240I mean, geez. But, yeah, he wasn't going anywhere and he knew it.
01:04:57.660He had all the power he needed in his family.
01:05:01.320And somebody actually there was somebody in an ROTC.
01:05:04.520It was a military officer. I remember his name.
01:05:07.560I think it was a major. And he even said that Bill Clinton was technically actually a draft dodger.
01:05:12.540So, yeah, and I don't have the information in front of me on that, you know.
01:05:17.440So anybody who sits there and wants to say that about President Donald Trump, I got news for you.
01:05:22.340Every other president from that era did the same thing.
01:05:33.660And we're going to be conquered by Islam.
01:05:35.860And the fact of the matter is that if it benefits Israel, it benefits us.
01:05:39.380And if it benefits us and Israel, it benefits Western civilization.
01:05:42.300And quite frankly, we are really the only bastions of Western civilization left, except for maybe Poland and a couple actually Eastern European countries, and everybody else is just basically surrendering, you know?
01:05:54.360Yeah, we're dying a slow death here with this immigration, and I don't care anymore about legal or illegal immigration.
01:06:16.960But 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.
01:06:35.040of our country. And, you know, getting out of Afghanistan, there's so many things that people
01:06:41.020really don't have any kind of education on. Getting out of Afghanistan was a big mistake,
01:06:45.340and Trump in this first administration was not going to do that. He was not going to surrender
01:06:49.580Bagram Air Force Base, you know, and they were going to keep a contingent, you know, military
01:06:53.780forces there. And it's the state-of-the-art military base. And if you happen to look on a map,
01:06:58.100it happens to border almost every single one of our, quote-unquote, enemies, unfriendly countries,
01:07:03.140China, Russia, you know, and the list goes on.
01:07:06.080So quite frankly, it was one of the most strategic places to have a base.
01:07:09.800And under Trump, there was, I believe, nobody, no military servicemen were killed over there.
01:07:14.620And they still were able to help the Afghanis control the place by using special forces out of Bagram.
01:07:22.080So that was a whole lie that was, you know, perpetrated in front of us.
01:08:45.100Well, the problem is, is that all the communists, you know, afterwards, they killed scores more people than the Nazis did.
01:08:51.720yeah when we went to war in korea basically stopping the chinese you know where we did
01:08:57.060uh i've got 39th parallel whatever it is you know yeah actually you know it's the same it's
01:09:04.300the same justification if you want to say you know you were stopping hitler to stop him from
01:09:08.700murdering people and that the same thing goes with vietnam you know i mean what were we doing i had
01:09:13.320friends that fled saigon actually yeah you know and and so it's the same thing it was it obviously
01:09:19.000I guess it was the was not the real reason behind us. I mean, you know, people in hindsight, people look at things with the knowledge that they have years later and then look back and go, oh, this should have, could have, would have, especially with Vietnam.
01:09:33.720At the time, there was this communist fear, the fear of the domino effect where, you know, you let one nation fall under communist rule and they all fall.
01:15:49.700And Sir Kierre Starmer over there in the U.K., initially, when these attacks started, would not let the United States use their U.K. bases in Cyprus.
01:16:07.960um and why why is that he actually went on television and and tried to sell the point
01:16:18.820that he didn't know about this he didn't support it the uk was not involved no uh english pilots
01:16:27.420and planes were involved he was dancing as fast as he can to keep the monsters at bay
01:16:35.200The monsters that have taken over cities like London and commit atrocious crimes against humanity in the United Kingdom.
01:16:48.720And he knew damn well that if he made it look like he was involved, that they'd pull out their machetes and start doing that voodoo that they do so well.
01:17:00.360And I guess that's changed a little bit.
01:17:04.020he's decided to let the United States use some RAF bases in Cyprus
01:17:10.260to tackle the growing threat from Iran defensively.
01:17:15.480He says that we could use their bases if the missions are to blow up missiles
01:17:22.040and other weapons that Iran will use against America or Israel
01:17:29.440or any of the other countries that are backing this military operation.
01:17:35.880But his first instinct was to get up there and kowtow to his Muslim invaders
01:17:45.440that are in the U.K. right now because he knew damn well
01:17:48.880these aren't people that take disagreements well.
01:17:54.360They don't just go, okay, well, I see your point,
01:18:14.600Everything we've done for the UK over the course of the years,
01:18:20.440the alliances we've had when the UK had strong leadership
01:18:25.400And now Keir Starmer is, you know, giving away the United Kingdom at a discount to people that certainly do not like the United Kingdom, its people, its policies, its civilization.
01:18:45.960And, you know, that was his first, it tells you a lot, that that was his first instinct to get up and apologize and say, nope, we weren't involved.
01:23:20.840But yesterday, I was a little uneasy when I saw the strikes.
01:23:24.960But, you know, I feel like the last 25 years, everything has been talking like war with Iran is inevitable.
01:23:31.340And the more I think about it, it's like if that is true, isn't there like some peace and solace in knowing that Trump is the one doing it and not like a politician?
01:23:40.800Good point. Good point. Because, you know, if if Trump didn't do anything and you still have the Iranian leadership, former leadership in place, and then we get some one of these Democrat people, God forbid, someone like Kamala Harris.
01:23:58.220Could you imagine? They know at that point they could just run nuts, do whatever they want to do with impunity.
01:24:07.200They wouldn't do anything. Oh, sanction this. And oh, a strongly worded message was sent to the Iranian leader.
01:24:16.660That's what we would be in store for. And again, they've proven themselves over the course of many years that when there's weak leadership, they will strike.
01:25:15.180If you've ever watched the movie, there's a couple of them out there.
01:25:20.980But it was Eric Bana, and he played a Mossad agent.
01:25:24.420And it was, hey, we want everyone that was involved in the murder of the Olympic, the Israeli Olympic team in the 70s, we want everyone even remotely involved, killed.
01:25:40.680And the Mossad went after these guys and used every bit of their intelligence and spying and weaponry, all this very James Bond-ish.
01:32:30.760Okay, but set the stage to this because in 1973, that's when the oil embargo by OPEC,
01:32:43.560No one even talks about OPEC and the history of how this whole Iranian nightmare with the hostages and that, you know, the Shah of Iran when he was in charge of Iran and it was very Western.
01:33:03.180Yes, yes. The Shah of Iran. And he it was. Yeah, it was like a Western nation in in the Middle East.
01:33:13.440Yeah, and we were getting oil out of there and everything.
01:33:16.080And then, you know, the Islamic state, they bounced to the Shah.
01:33:23.280He came here, and then he got cancer and died.
01:33:26.400And it's been that way for many years, Susan.
01:33:30.320You know, you wouldn't be able to drink if you were over there.
01:33:35.580Listen, the Ayatollah came in, and then the girls, the men could have four wives, and they could have nine-year-old wives, and Sharia law, Sharia law, and that's what we have to understand, that that is their whole role.
01:33:55.340Sharia, not sherry, like you cook with and then take a snort of every so often.
01:36:13.420And the Manhattan DA dropping assault charges on the snowball guy, the guy that assaulted some of these cops, NYPD officers, with snow and ice, pretty much.
01:40:17.420Now, they've been bashing Trump about these Epstein files forever.
01:40:25.240And since the release of the files and this fact that Trump is mentioned tens of thousands of times, no context given as to how he's mentioned, there are email alerts that Jeffrey Epstein and his companies got that had the name Donald Trump in them.
01:44:15.040Well, explain what this is, the words.
01:44:17.260Well, apparently in this document, and I want to be very careful here because these are allegations,
01:44:23.960and President Trump has consistently, they're unverified allegations,
01:44:27.220and President Trump has consistently denied all the allegations and any wrongdoing.
01:44:31.200But there was a presentation made by the FBI and the witness stated that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Trump, who subsequently forced her head down and punched her in the head in response to something that she did.
01:44:49.800Right. Unbelievable. She's saying right there, these are unsubstantiated allegations.
01:44:55.780they have not been corroborated by anybody the fbi had them yeah because they were taking in
01:45:03.200uh thousands of these calls from people that were alleging uh that donald trump did things
01:45:11.040because they hate him they don't like that he's president they want to get him in trouble
01:45:16.980not one of these allegations can be substantiated they can't find these people
01:45:23.500that supposedly were sexually assaulted by Donald Trump.
01:47:13.960So here's Whoopi, and she's got, you know, something to say about the president involving the women's hockey team and the State of the Union address.
01:47:26.260AC3, let's hear from a fellow hen over at The View, Whoopi Goldberg.
01:47:32.180Like, this should be the least politicized story.
01:47:34.680Honestly, I was watching that final, the men's final, with 26 other million people, which is one of the highest ever rated for an Olympic sport.
01:47:42.700and they were screaming with that women over time.
01:48:19.100She's saying, you know, not everything has to be politicized.
01:48:22.920He invited the guys because they're patriotic Americans that loved the fact that they wore an American flag on their shoulder and represented this great country.
01:48:37.740Why didn't he acknowledge the other medal winners for the country?
01:48:40.920Well, maybe they were talking crap about him and saying that they were embarrassed and they didn't feel proud to represent America at the Olympics.
01:48:53.180Maybe when you see a team like the American hockey team win and celebrate and wrap themselves in the American flag and skate on the ice and appreciate the country that gave them that opportunity.
01:49:04.580Maybe that's why he treated them the way he did and treated others that represented America differently.
01:49:14.200All right, don't you go anywhere. Back in a moment.
01:49:18.440It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
01:49:24.440It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
01:49:29.460the anthony cumia show and uh tragedy in austin austin texas a shooter uh the i've been austin a
01:49:41.000few times um been down to uh the comedy mothership over there joe rogan's club uh i've done a few
01:49:48.160gigs um at a vulcan and uh you know sixth uh what is it sixth street over there is a huge you know
01:49:56.580that's where all the clubs are or is it six them i think six avenue it's where all the clubs are
01:50:01.680this is like the nightlife in austin it's packed a lot of people out there drinking having a good
01:50:08.000time and uh 53 year old immigrant from senegal i can't even read this name i can't it looks like
01:50:19.800a word jumble. It looks like there's a word you got to make. I need the Enigma machine from
01:50:27.780World War II to figure out what his real name is. Indiaga Diagni. That's not real. That's not a real
01:50:41.940name bevis uh naga naga not gonna breathe anymore yeah yeah uh yeah so that's his name
01:50:50.180according to the post the alleged shooter had a quran in his vehicle was allegedly not allegedly
01:50:57.920we saw the picture he was wearing a shirt that read property of Allah and uh he had an undershirt
01:51:07.200featuring the iranian flag um it's too early to process or determine the exact motivation
01:51:15.420they always do this and by the way this even though it's a huge story especially on uh the
01:51:22.920tale of uh the iran attack but this will go away this will go away this doesn't fit the agenda of
01:51:31.760the people that say, well, the worst threat to the American people are right-wing Republican
01:52:22.900Why do we feel so compelled to invite people into this country, realize what they're all about, that they're not going to be contributing to our society, they're going to be detrimental, burdensome, and in some cases deadly, and we just go, yeah, hang out, awesome.
01:52:42.980You just hang out until you feel like killing someone, and then you do that, and maybe the cops will give you the room temperature challenge, or we'll just put you in prison.
01:52:55.960Yeah, there he is, property of Allah on the shirt, allegedly.
02:02:23.140I was in high school, and on my little army jacket, I had a bomb Iran button.
02:02:29.360This has been going on forever, and at some point, you've got to just take the bull by, you know, where you take the bull by, and end this.
02:06:32.740This is him talking about the immigration bill that includes, of course, a path to citizenship for millions of invaders, I like to call them, AC4.
02:06:45.800What would an immigration deal look like between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate?
02:06:52.820Well, we had a good model in 2013, as you may remember, bipartisan.
02:06:57.840John McCain and I headed the gang of eight.
02:06:59.880We had four Democrats, four Republicans, including Marco Rubio, who's now gone to the other side on this.
02:07:05.960But we could come up with a bill like that.
02:07:54.620And by the way, while they're waiting for that path to citizenship, they're running around this country, utilizing every financial program that we're wasting our money on and murdering people.
02:08:10.780So Chuck's been saying this kind of thing for many years, every time it comes up.
02:08:15.140And that's why, you know, it will be very, very difficult for this country if the Democrats do get in charge of the House, the Senate and the White House.
02:08:30.640i mean because first of all it will be payback time that's exactly what they want they want
02:08:37.220payback vindictive spiteful payback nothing that has anything to do with the the better uh betterment
02:08:46.380of the country they just want to get back at everybody and they always talk about how trump
02:08:51.200is doing that how where where are the people in jail where are the people in prison where are the
02:08:57.280people on trial they tried trump out of their uh um spite they had an unjust trial and they
02:09:06.920uh convicted him they wanted to put him in prison somehow he squeaked out the presidency
02:09:14.060but uh that's what they want to do and if if they get power again everything everything we're
02:09:22.040holding on to by our fingernails right now will be ripped away and we will go back to where we were
02:09:29.960but even worse even worse imagine the the pallet of money the pallet of apology money we would send
02:09:40.000iran under uh democrat uh rule in this country i'm so sorry i'm so sorry jacob fray would be
02:09:51.420crying at the Ayatollah's coffin like he was at George Floyd's golden casket.
02:09:57.200I can't wait to see Jacob Frey wailing, wailing, bawling, crying at the casket of the Ayatollah
02:11:30.680And God forbid we get into a situation where we have a weak American leadership.
02:11:35.800We've seen what that looks like and we've seen how detrimental it is to this country.
02:11:40.960If we have that type of leadership in this country, then they do what they want.
02:11:49.140All of these people crawl out of the woodwork, all these terrorist organizations, and to have Iran just shoveling money at them to murder people, it can't happen.
02:12:37.140They're attacking a U.S. embassy in Baghdad, and then a bunch of Pakistanis started storming the U.S. consulate in Karachi, and whoops-a-daisy, I was reading about 30 of the Pakistanis killed by U.S. Marines.
02:12:53.040this is again let's look at what happened in benghazi uh that was under barack obama
02:13:02.920hillary rodham was um secretary of state it was her responsibility and nothing was done they knew
02:13:13.760this attack was going on those poor bastards were left out on their own they didn't want to upset
02:13:21.180I don't know what it was, but they did not give the guards or the people that were there working at the Benghazi consulate anything.
02:19:44.840And America is built upon the idea that no person is above the law, even the president, especially presidents.
02:19:52.080Democracy requires that every person play their part.
02:19:54.780And I hope that by being here today, we can bring ourselves a little further away from the brink and back to a country where we can disagree with another civilly.
02:20:07.820Who are the ones that don't want to talk?
02:20:09.440Who are the ones that, at protests, beat up people that want to ask them why they're even there in the first place?
02:20:16.960Don't come to us and talk about civility.
02:20:22.020He says, the second reason I'm here is that the girls and women whose lives Jeffrey Epstein destroyed deserve not only justice but healing.
02:20:32.400They've been waiting too long for both.
02:20:34.740Through my brief acquaintance with Epstein, though it ended years before his crimes came to light, and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions, he's using keywords like limited, never, don't know what you're talking about.
02:20:51.780He didn't have any indication of what was going on.
02:20:54.680I'm here to offer what little I know so that it might prevent anything like this from ever happening.
02:21:01.240But before we start, I have to get personal.
02:21:58.760the oath to tell the truth, like you did during the Lewinsky thing. He took an oath.
02:22:07.040But everyone has a responsibility to be honest with those they represent, whether you raised
02:22:11.460your right hand or not. Okay. Maybe he's saying like, hey, even though I raised it,
02:22:15.540each and every one of us owes nothing less than the truth and accuracy to the American people.
02:22:24.320Now, let me say what you're going to hear.
02:22:27.160Now, let me say what you're going to hear from me.
02:22:28.760First, I had no idea the crimes Epstein was committing.
02:22:31.680No matter how many photos you show me, I have two things that, at the end of the day, matter more than your interpretation of these 20-year-old photos.
02:22:45.200I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn't see.
02:22:48.920I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn't do.
02:23:54.640Since I'm under oath, I will not falsely state that I am looking forward to your questions,
02:23:58.920but I am ready to answer them to the best of my abilities consistent with the facts as I know them.
02:24:05.260The legitimate, the logical, and even the outlandish.
02:24:08.680um can can anyone give this guy the benefit of the doubt that he's telling the truth at any point
02:24:16.820especially in a forum so similar to the monica lewinsky depositions that he gave where he took
02:24:26.380an oath he looked into that camera and told the american people i did not have sex with that woman
02:24:33.760So now when he takes an oath, looks into the camera and says, I did not know anything, I didn't do anything, how the hell are you supposed to believe him?
02:24:43.880How are you supposed to believe this guy?
02:24:48.520You're not supposed to believe this guy.
02:24:50.840And the left and the Democrats will try to drag Trump into this all the times his name is mentioned.
02:24:57.340There's not one allegation that has anything to back it up.
02:25:02.340There are fake AI pictures I've seen, but any other picture that's actually him and Jeffrey Epstein is at some huge social event where I'm sure hundreds of pictures were taken with everybody.
02:25:14.500But there are pictures with Bill Clinton and him on the plane at little getaways.
02:25:22.160There's a painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress, and it was hanging on the wall at Jeffrey Epstein's place.
02:25:30.740so uh i'm not quite willing to believe bill clinton that he knew nothing i did nothing
02:25:42.240saw nothing like uh like schultz from hogan's heroes all right people i adore you thank you
02:25:49.620so much for tuning in stay strong and uh i'll be back here next week not here i'll be back in
