00:02:27.000 According to bleacherreport.com, what are the worst trades or worst deals ever done in the history of sports?
00:02:37.000 Number four is Brett Favre to Green Bay for a first-round pick.
00:02:41.000 The Atlanta Falcons sent rookie Brett Favre to Green Bay Packers for a first round pick.
00:02:46.000 Ended up being terrible as the Falcons never gave Favre much of a shot.
00:02:50.000 And of course, Favre, one of the greatest quarterbacks ever and one of my personal favorites just because of his swagger and his attitude.
00:02:57.000 And also he endorsed President Trump.
00:02:59.000 Number three, Kobe Bryant to Los Angeles for Vlade Divak.
00:03:02.000 Now, let me say, I have a soft spot for Vladé Divak.
00:03:05.000 The Sacramento Kings, what year was that?
00:03:07.000 01, 02, 03, when they had Peja Stoyakovich, Mike Bibby, Chris Weber, Vlade Divok.
00:03:15.000 That was one of the best teams that never made it.
00:03:17.000 And they got screwed over by the referees.
00:03:20.000 But still, trading Kobe Bryant for Vladé Devok, not a good deal.
00:03:24.000 Number two, the great Bill Russell, one of the best basketball players ever, when the St. Louis Hawks traded Bill Russell to Boston for Ed McCauley and Cliff Hagan in 1956.
00:03:37.000 Russell went on to be the best NBA center of all time, arguably, and he led the Celtics to 11 NBA titles.
00:03:46.000 11 for one player.
00:03:48.000 The most of any storied franchise in basketball.
00:03:51.000 And the worst deal ever brokered in sports history was, of course, The legend of the Bambino, when the Boston Red Sox traded future baseball star Babe Ruth for $100,000 and a $300,000 loan to finance a musical called No No Nanette.
00:04:16.000 Of course, Babe Ruth goes on to win multiple World Series and becomes one of the best, if not the best, baseball player in history, dominating the Red Sox.
00:04:29.000 Now, the Bleacher Report ends the article by saying, how could anything be worse?
00:04:36.000 Not so fast, my friends, as Lee Carso would say.
00:04:40.000 You see, today on this episode, we're going to put lots of different pieces together, and we're going to talk about the worst deal that was ever brokered in geopolitical history, a deal that might have been done intentionally to weaken America and strengthen our Arab enemies. 0.61
00:04:58.000 In 2014, of May of 2014, Turning Point USA was just getting started.
00:05:03.000 We were just starting to get some momentum to try to get on campuses.
00:05:07.000 And I remember vividly where I was.
00:05:09.000 I was at some hotel in the Dallas area in May, trying to raise money or do something.
00:05:16.000 And I turned on my television screen.
00:05:18.000 It was a breaking news alert.
00:05:20.000 Barack Hussein Obama announces a trade.
00:05:25.000 Now, it's not a trade for Brett Farr from the Falcons to the Packers. 0.95
00:05:30.000 It wasn't a trade of Bill Russell to some no-namers. 0.97
00:05:34.000 It wasn't a trade of some musical for Babe Ruth. 0.97
00:05:36.000 No, no, no, no. 0.98
00:05:37.000 It was a trade for the terrorist all-star team from Gitmo, five of them, the Fab Five, the killers, for a traitor.
00:05:51.000 Many of you will now remember this quickly.
00:05:54.000 Some of you that are younger that are listening have no memory of this.
00:05:57.000 This was the famous Bo Bergdahl for Gitmo trade that happened in May of 2014.
00:06:05.000 Now, Bo Bergdahl is a traitor to the United States.
00:06:08.000 He abandoned his fellow soldiers.
00:06:11.000 In fact, several soldiers died looking for Bo Bergdahl, including Clayton Bowen, Kurt Curtis, Darren Andrews, Michael Murphy, Matthew Martineck, and Morris Walker.
00:06:26.000 All of them died looking for Bo Bergdahl, who abandoned and betrayed his country.
00:06:32.000 Yet Obama was very quick to try to execute this deal, to try to release five terrorists from Gitmo for one traitor to the United States.
00:06:45.000 And who was overseeing this whole deal?
00:06:49.000 Joe Biden.
00:06:50.000 Now, when this was happening, those of us that were in politics, we couldn't really make sense of what was going on.
00:06:58.000 So let's go back, cut 20.
00:06:59.000 This was the ABC News report laying out who the five prisoners were and who they traded for Bergdahl.
00:07:06.000 Cut 20.
00:07:08.000 All five detainees were active Taliban fighters and planners.
00:07:12.000 Three held leadership posts in the Taliban government.
00:07:15.000 Mohamed Fazl was a former deputy minister of defense and founding Taliban member.
00:07:20.000 Abdul Haqwasik was a former deputy intelligence minister and confidant of top Taliban leader Mullah Omar.
00:07:27.000 Mullah Norala Nouri was a senior Taliban commander in northern Afghanistan and one of the highest-ranking Taliban held at Guantanamo.
00:07:35.000 So five Taliban, three out of five were Taliban leaders.
00:07:38.000 While we were actively at war against the Taliban and the Taliban were killing American soldiers and American journalists, we were trading five terrorists for a traitor.
00:07:50.000 Cut 17.
00:07:52.000 What did Bo Bergdahl do that was so bad?
00:07:54.000 Well, Brett Baer in October of 2017 tells you exactly what he did.
00:07:58.000 Cut 17.
00:08:00.000 Bo Bergdahl will indeed enter a plea Monday to charges that he endangered comrades by walking off his remote post in Afghanistan in 2009.
00:08:09.000 We reported last week that Bergdahl is expected to plead guilty to those charges.
00:08:13.000 No word on whether there is an agreement on his punishment, but the misbehavior before the enemy charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, while the desertion charge is punishable by up to five years.
00:08:27.000 And then throughout this whole thing, one of the most bizarre moments was Bo Bergdahl's father, a white man with a long beard, starts speaking Arabic at the White House, praising Obama for bringing Bo Bergdahl back to the United States and saying, thank you for doing this.
00:08:44.000 Cut 27. 0.83
00:08:45.000 When Bo Bergdahl's father starts uttering Arabic, as he himself, an Islamic believer or sympathizer, certainly looks like one. 0.98
00:08:58.000 Cut 27. 1.00
00:09:00.000 I'd like to say to Bo right now, who's having trouble speaking English, Bismillah Rahman Arrahim, Zay Abayim.
00:09:08.000 I'm your father, Bo.
00:09:11.000 The people of Afghanistan, the same.
00:09:16.000 Khalifa Althani, the complicated nature of this recovery will never really be comprehended.
00:09:27.000 What ended up happening was that we traded the five prisoners, the five terrorists of the Taliban leadership, for Bo Bergdahl, the deserter.
00:09:39.000 Cut 26, Obama says that trading five prisoners for Bergdahl's release, and he's working with the Qatari government to ensure our national security.
00:09:49.000 Cut 26.
00:09:51.000 As part of this effort, the United States is transferring five detainees from the prison in Guantanamo Bay to Qatar.
00:09:57.000 The Qatari government has given us assurances that it will put in place measures to protect our national security.
00:10:04.000 I also want to express gratitude to the Afghan government, which has always supported our efforts to secure Bo's release.
00:10:12.000 To secure Bo's release, you see, the art of the statesman is to make deals under pressure to hopefully benefit the homeland and disadvantage the enemy.
00:10:24.000 This deal was brokered. 0.59
00:10:26.000 A traitor for a terror all-star team.
00:10:28.000 And you should be now asking this question: where are they now?
00:10:33.000 Where are those Gitmo prisoners that were traded for that traitor that Americans died looking for?
00:10:40.000 Are they playing baccarat in the south of France?
00:10:43.000 Are they in yachts in the Mediterranean?
00:10:45.000 Are they herding goats in the poshtun?
00:10:49.000 Oh, no, no.
00:10:50.000 We're going to tell you where Obama's all-star team is and how they got there.
00:10:57.000 Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?
00:11:05.000 Sinister folks, by the way.
00:11:06.000 Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist BLM incorporated organization? 0.60
00:11:14.000 Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values. 0.55
00:11:21.000 Left-wing corporations are subverting our nation and our republic by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.

00:13:22.000 Barack Obama and Joe Biden traded five all-star terrorists for Bo Bergdahl.
00:13:31.000 Remember Cut 25, where Obama said, Well, Bergdahl is not forgotten.
00:13:35.000 Let's play Cut 25.
00:13:37.000 But while Bo was gone, he was never forgotten.
00:13:42.000 His parents thought about him and prayed for him every single day, as did his sister Skye, who prayed for his safe return.
00:13:53.000 He wasn't forgotten by his community in Idaho or the military, which rallied to support the Bergdahls through thick and thin.
00:14:02.000 And he wasn't forgotten by his country because the United States of America does not ever leave our men and women in uniform behind.
00:14:11.000 Well, that's not true.
00:14:12.000 We leave people behind all the time.
00:14:13.000 We just left them behind in Kabul.
00:14:15.000 No, this was all an excuse.
00:14:17.000 This was a mastermind plan by Obama and Biden to try to empower the Taliban.
00:14:26.000 Just as Joe Biden just gave weapons to the Taliban.
00:14:29.000 You see what's really going on here?
00:14:31.000 In the State Department, in the Obama regime, they were thinking, how do we get the All-Star team? 0.67
00:14:37.000 How do we get Chris Weber and how do we get the Fab Five back into the Taliban?
00:14:42.000 Oh, that traitor is being held hostage.
00:14:45.000 Let's broker this fake deal.
00:14:47.000 So where are they now?
00:14:50.000 Breaking yesterday.
00:14:54.000 The four prisoners that Obama exchanged for Bo Bergdahl are now in senior Taliban posts.
00:15:01.000 We did that. 0.94
00:15:04.000 Starring at 5'8, known for preying on little girls with six wives, Karula Karakawa, the head of goat herding, Narula Nouri, in charge of making sure no one eats pork, Abdul Haq Wasik, and the suicidal bomb reconciliatory division of the Taliban government, Mohammed Fossil. 0.68
00:15:34.000 We did that.
00:15:35.000 Remember when Obama said Cut 22?
00:15:40.000 If you got a business, you got a bridge.
00:15:45.000 You didn't build that.
00:15:46.000 Somebody else made that happen.
00:15:48.000 Play Cut 22.
00:15:50.000 If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help.
00:15:56.000 There was a great teacher somewhere in your life.
00:16:00.000 Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we had that allowed you to thrive.
00:16:07.000 Somebody invested in roads and bridges.
00:16:09.000 If you got a business, you didn't build that.
00:16:12.000 Somebody else made that happen. 1.00
00:16:16.000 If you got a government of goat herders, you didn't build that. 1.00
00:16:20.000 Somebody else made that happen. 0.99
00:16:22.000 Obama, you built that. 0.72
00:16:23.000 Obama Biden built the government of the Taliban.
00:16:27.000 Now, just as a side note, do you notice how Obama used to do kind of very proper Obama where he'd be like, today, we're here to talk about Bergdahl's release.
00:16:38.000 And then he would do the jive, Obama, where he'd kind of roll up his sleeves.
00:16:42.000 He'd start kind of talking and slang.
00:16:44.000 You didn't build that.
00:16:46.000 Somebody else made that happen.
00:16:47.000 Like, which one is it, Obama?
00:16:49.000 Is it the rolled-up sleeves?
00:16:52.000 You see, many of you listeners out there, you've never experienced our whole commentary around Barry Sotero.
00:17:00.000 You've missed the depth, the sophistication, the creativity, the fun we used to have with this man.
00:17:06.000 You see, he had more energy and spirit than Biden, who just falls asleep.
00:17:12.000 What were we saying in the midst of this, though?
00:17:16.000 I could tell you what Trump was saying. 0.99
00:17:17.000 Cut 19, private citizen Trump, businessman Trump, said that Bergdahl was a dirty, rotten traitor. 0.98
00:17:24.000 And we get a traitor and they get five people. 0.98
00:17:26.000 And guess what? 0.81
00:17:27.000 The Taliban government is now staffed by the very people that we gave them. 0.93
00:17:32.000 Our government. 1.00
00:17:33.000 Cut 19. 0.99
00:17:34.000 So we get a traitor named Bergdahl, a dirty, rotten traitor, who, by the way, when he deserted, six young, beautiful people were killed trying to find him. 0.99
00:17:48.000 Somebody said the other day, well, he had some psychological problems. 0.99
00:17:52.000 You know, in the old days, bing, bong, when we were strong, when we were strong.
00:17:57.000 So we get Bergdahl, a traitor, and they get five of the people that they most wanted anywhere in the world, five killers that are right now back on the battlefield doing a job.
00:18:12.000 That's the kind of deals we make.
00:18:15.000 And what if I told you it was done intentionally?
00:18:18.000 What if I told you we left the weapons intentionally? 0.78
00:18:21.000 What if I told you we traded a trader for their all-star team to empower the Taliban? 0.53
00:18:27.000 Why? 0.50
00:18:28.000 It all has to do with our greatest enemy at a small island that many Americans don't know about.

00:19:11.000 Obama built that and Biden built that.
00:19:13.000 But why?
00:19:15.000 Why were all these pieces in play so early?
00:19:19.000 What was happening back in 2014?
00:19:22.000 Well, in 2014, it was the last couple years of the Obama regime, and there was serious populist energy that was beginning to rise up around specific issues around trade and immigration.
00:19:38.000 You see, Obama didn't get much done his second term, but one of the few things he got done was the Iran deal and also opening up China to be unrestricted in the World Trade Organization.
00:19:51.000 Most people don't know this, but Afghanistan neighbors China.
00:19:58.000 It's about a 90-mile border.
00:20:00.000 Actually, it's a little bit more than that, I've been told, because part of it goes through the Kashmir region.
00:20:05.000 But Afghanistan neighbors China.
00:20:07.000 China, you turn over Iraq and you get 100 million people in China. 0.92
00:20:13.000 But the one thing China does not have is natural resources.
00:20:17.000 Afghanistan is very natural resource rich, especially rare earth minerals.
00:20:25.000 Now, not as much oil, believe it or not.
00:20:28.000 Afghanistan does have a fair amount of oil, but nowhere near as much as Saudi Arabia or Yemen or Oman or the UAE or any of the other Middle East partners.
00:20:39.000 Why would Barack Obama with his partner Joe Biden broker this type of deal?
00:20:46.000 Well, who was flying on Air Force 2 to China while he was vice president?
00:20:53.000 Hunter Biden was.
00:20:54.000 We know that Chinese deals were being brokered while Joe Biden was vice president of the United States.
00:21:02.000 Now, why would China want to see the Taliban as a legitimate government? 0.79
00:21:08.000 Well, the Taliban will do whatever China wants them to do. 0.61
00:21:12.000 Whereas the propped-up regime government of Asaf Ghani, the fake government that we put in place, China wasn't getting everything they wanted. 0.77
00:21:22.000 You see, China, they want to create a Belt and Road initiative across the entire world.
00:21:27.000 And Afghanistan is a key partner in that. 0.69
00:21:30.000 And so they'd say, man, we got to get our boys back running the Taliban. 0.91
00:21:34.000 We got to get the people, oh, let's trade Bergdahl for these five killers.
00:21:42.000 And you see these five killers, they are now running the Taliban government. 0.59
00:21:47.000 That is the new breaking news. 0.85
00:21:49.000 That the Taliban interior is now staffed thanks to our own making. 0.99
00:21:56.000 We did that. 1.00
00:21:58.000 So I want to get to another piece of tape here where it's cut.
00:22:04.000 I hate to play a tape of John McCain, but he was right here.
00:22:07.000 Cut 16.
00:22:08.000 I know I saw it.
00:22:09.000 I said, oh, my goodness.
00:22:10.000 But yeah, it's just he probably wanted a ground invasion of Libya or something in between these statements, or he was salivating over invading Peru because somebody looked at him weird in the halls.
00:22:23.000 But John McCain is right about this one, cut 16.
00:22:26.000 I think there are legitimate questions about these individuals who are being released and the conditions under which they will be released.
00:22:37.000 These are the hardest of the hardcore.
00:22:40.000 These are the highest high-risk people.
00:22:42.000 And others that we have released have gone back into the fight.
00:22:46.000 That's been documented. 0.53
00:22:48.000 So, and it's disturbing to me that the Taliban are the ones that named the people to be released.
00:22:56.000 And Andrew, so what does this tell us about the geopolitical situation, what's happening right now in Afghanistan?
00:23:04.000 Well, right now, the Taliban are celebrating and they're spiking the football, so to speak. 0.75
00:23:13.000 I mean, I think it's really fascinating that the entire debacle, the botched surrender, we can call it a withdrawal if you want, but it was really a surrender ultimately to get to this 20-year anniversary photo op for Joe Biden is punctuated by not our victory 20 years later, but by the Talibans. 0.62
00:23:35.000 And to Make this really, really clear.
00:23:39.000 The Taliban are planning to have their interim government inauguration ceremony on Saturday, September 11th, 20th anniversary of 9-11.
00:23:49.000 And as John McCain said, they got the hardest of the hardcore, the Taliban 5.
00:23:57.000 And by the way, people are asking, well, if there's four out of the five, where did the fifth one end up?
00:24:05.000 And that would be Mohammed Nabi Omari, and he was appointed governor of East Coast province last month.
00:24:12.000 And not East Coast like New York, but like K-H-O-S-T, a region in Afghanistan.
00:24:18.000 So he's a big important player as well.
00:24:21.000 And so I hate to say it because I grew up in an America, as you did, Charlie, where we won.
00:24:28.000 We won everything.
00:24:29.000 We were in space.
00:24:31.000 We were in the Olympics.
00:24:32.000 We won our wars. 0.98
00:24:33.000 The Taliban won this one. 0.86
00:24:35.000 We lost. 0.97
00:24:36.000 And we did not have the will to win.
00:24:38.000 But don't worry, everybody.
00:24:39.000 The Biden regime, they're taking this very seriously.
00:24:44.000 In fact, the Biden regime has issued a scathing memo that has made the Taliban legitimately frightened.
00:24:54.000 I am reading a quote from thehill.com: The State Department voices concern over all-male Taliban government.
00:25:03.000 This is shocking.
00:25:04.000 In fact, this could change the political dynamics of the entire region.
00:25:09.000 The spokesperson says, We have made clear our expectation that the Afghan people deserve an inclusive government.
00:25:16.000 The State Department says that they will judge the Taliban by its actions, not words.
00:25:21.000 And of course, one of the people that are running Afghanistan is Haqqani, who runs the Haqqani network that was created thanks to our reckless withdrawal from Afghanistan.
00:25:33.000 The State Department continues by saying, We want to also reiterate our clear expectation that the Taliban ensure that Afghan soil is not used to threaten any other countries and allow humanitarian access in support of the Afghan people. 0.54
00:25:48.000 The world is watching closely, you men, you evil men.
00:25:54.000 Well, they go even further.
00:25:56.000 The State Department is saying that they're worried that their administration is not diverse enough.
00:26:02.000 You see, they're insufficiently have people of color.
00:26:06.000 They need more Elon Omars in the Pashtun government in Afghanistan. 1.00
00:26:12.000 I'm reading from the post-millennial.
00:26:14.000 It says here that a State Department spokesperson has says that they presented this as a caretaker cabinet.
00:26:21.000 They say that this notable absence of women in the inner core government comes despite the Taliban saying that they want to urge women to join government offices in an attempt to differentiate the Taliban rule of 2001 from that of 20 years ago.
00:26:34.000 They obviously know very little about, let's just say, Pashtun, Afghan, Islamic, theocratic fascism.
00:26:42.000 Right.
00:26:42.000 So all of a sudden, 20 years later, you think because they told you something, they're going to have like Ava Perrone or Angela Merkel run the Afghan government.
00:26:52.000 Like, oh, yeah, we got Mohameda here, and she's our new spokesperson.
00:26:57.000 You think that's going to really work out for you?
00:27:00.000 So the Biden regime.
00:27:02.000 It's insane.
00:27:04.000 Yeah, and that girl from Time magazine, she's going to go on some, you know, you know who needs to run? 1.00
00:27:09.000 I know who needs to be the next prime minister of Afghanistan.
00:27:12.000 Greta Thunberg.
00:27:14.000 She would be a person of color, by the way, in Afghanistan.
00:27:17.000 She would be a minority, technically, even though she's a Swede. 0.68
00:27:20.000 Right, exactly.
00:27:21.000 She's Norwegian.
00:27:21.000 She's a Swede, right?
00:27:23.000 Yeah, she's ethnically a Swede with somewhere north. 0.85
00:27:26.000 She's Swedish. 0.96
00:27:27.000 The left hates ethnic Swedes. 1.00
00:27:29.000 They're like at the top of the top of the list. 0.95
00:27:31.000 Like, how dare you?
00:27:32.000 Is she an adult yet, by the way?
00:27:34.000 Can we actually officially criticize her?
00:27:36.000 Because when she was 16, I don't think she was.
00:27:39.000 No, she's 18 now.
00:27:40.000 Is she fair game?
00:27:41.000 Is she 18?
00:27:42.000 I think she's.
00:27:42.000 Yes.
00:27:43.000 She's fair game.
00:27:44.000 Here we go.
00:27:44.000 Well, here's the problem.
00:27:45.000 I'm going to criticize her policy position.
00:27:46.000 Let me tell you why Greta Thunberg will never be prime minister of Afghanistan. 1.00
00:27:50.000 You might say, Charlie, it's obvious. 1.00
00:27:52.000 It's because she's not Muslim. 1.00
00:27:53.000 No, no, no. 1.00
00:27:54.000 It's not.
00:27:54.000 No, no, you're wrong.
00:27:55.000 You see?
00:27:55.000 It's because Afghanistan's landlocked.
00:27:57.000 She can't get there. 0.99
00:27:59.000 Greta Thunberg travels the world.
00:28:01.000 She could vote.
00:28:03.000 She could ride a horse, Charlie.
00:28:05.000 Camel.
00:28:05.000 She could ride a horse.
00:28:07.000 Camel.
00:28:08.000 Horse, then camel. 0.89
00:28:09.000 Some form of a 13th-century trading route, Greta Thunberg can recreate and she will come ascendant into Kabul to liberate the Taliban from their worship of fossil fuels. 0.88
00:28:26.000 She's going to go on China's new Silk Road. 0.97
00:28:29.000 Threw it right through. 0.98
00:28:30.000 That's where she's going. 1.00
00:28:31.000 How dare you, Taliban, take these fossil fuels and colonialize them? 1.00
00:28:37.000 Don't you know the damage you do? 0.80
00:28:41.000 Greta Thunberg for prime minister of Afghanistan.
00:28:45.000 But don't worry, the State Department is on the case. 1.00
00:28:48.000 You know, cutting Christians' heads off, zero silence. 0.99
00:28:51.000 Cutting tongues out of interpreters, zero silence. 1.00
00:28:55.000 Hunting down people in the streets, zero silence.
00:28:57.000 But the real problem, the Biden regime says, all right, now you've crossed the line.
00:29:02.000 You do not have the right diversity quotas. 0.50
00:29:05.000 You need that.
00:29:06.000 You know what you need?
00:29:06.000 Affirmative action.
00:29:08.000 We need affirmative action in Afghanistan.
00:29:11.000 This is what the Biden regime has issued the statement for saying.
00:29:14.000 Not the fact that they have Haqqani running their interior, not the fact that we weaponize them.
00:29:20.000 But no, no, no. 0.99
00:29:21.000 They're insufficiently diverse that they need to westernize themselves.
00:29:27.000 And the Taliban, I'm sure that the Taliban read this and they say, are you kidding me?
00:29:32.000 Like, we have $85 billion of your own weapons. 0.98
00:29:36.000 We're now best buddies with the Chinese.
00:29:38.000 And Connor, can you reiterate the countries that have embassies still in Kabul?
00:29:43.000 I believe it's Pakistan, Qatar, China, Russia, and a couple others.
00:29:51.000 I can't remember.
00:29:51.000 Do you see really what's going on here?
00:29:54.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:29:54.000 Turkey, Iran, which is a Muslim brotherhood.
00:29:59.000 I think Turkey is run by the Brotherhood, if I'm not mistaken, right? 0.76
00:30:03.000 Erdogan is a sympathizer.
00:30:05.000 I could be wrong.
00:30:06.000 The Brotherhood's not as big as the Prime Minister. 0.92
00:30:07.000 He might be Berlin. 0.84
00:30:08.000 Russia, Iran, Pakistan, Qatar, China, and Turkey.
00:30:12.000 But don't worry.
00:30:14.000 The Biden regime is on the case, everybody.
00:30:15.000 They are sending the diversity industrial complex. 0.98
00:30:18.000 They are sending hall monitors, and soon there will be safe spaces, trigger warnings, and there will be sensitivity trainings for Christians that get their heads cut off. 0.95
00:30:28.000 This is the Biden regime's.
00:30:29.000 It's not, they don't believe in peace through strength.
00:30:33.000 They believe in peace through diversity.
00:30:36.000 Peace through press releases.
00:30:39.000 While the Taliban is stronger than ever before.
00:30:43.000 Why? 0.96
00:30:44.000 We built that.
00:30:47.000 Listen up, everybody.
00:30:48.000 We are just weeks away from yet another American travesty, one that could lead our country even further down the road to tyranny.
00:30:56.000 I'm talking, of course, about court packing, the far left's radical plan to rig our entire federal judiciary system by adding four liberal justices to the Supreme Court and completely destroying the constitutional rule of law in our country as we know it.
00:31:11.000 Thankfully, my friends at First Liberty Institute, a national nonprofit law firm, are taking a stand.
00:31:18.000 They've written a letter telling the Biden Commission to reject this brazen court packing scheme.
00:31:24.000 And now prominent leaders, plus over 100,000 patriots like you, have joined their coalition.
00:31:29.000 Franklin Graham, former Attorney General Ed Meese, Dr. Dobson, plus organizations like the American Policy Association, Concerned Women for America, are all on board.
00:31:39.000 Now it's up to you.
00:31:40.000 Sign your name right now next to these leaders by September 15th.
00:31:45.000 Go to supremecoup.com.
00:31:47.000 That's supremecoup.com right now.
00:31:51.000 They're trying to pack the Supreme Court.
00:31:53.000 My friend Kelly Shackelford runs this amazing organization.
00:31:56.000 So do me a favor, check it out, sign it.
00:31:58.000 It's free of charge.

00:32:04.000 We were debating in the break the worst trades of all time outside of what the bleacher report said, the ones that weren't covered.
00:32:11.000 And I thought of probably the worst trade ever done when it came to draft picks.
00:32:16.000 Okay, we got Bill Russell and you got Brett Favre and you got Babe Ruth.
00:32:20.000 But there was one that was so bad, it was so catastrophic that I remember it happening in real time.
00:32:27.000 Ricky Williams.
00:32:28.000 Anyone remember Ricky Williams?
00:32:30.000 Ricky Williams was arguably the best college running back of all time for the University of Texas.
00:32:36.000 You remember Ricky Williams, Andrew?
00:32:38.000 Oh, I remember Ricky Williams.
00:32:39.000 He had the hair.
00:32:40.000 Now, do you remember Mike?
00:32:42.000 I think it was Mike Ditka, who was the coach of the New Orleans Saints.
00:32:46.000 No, no, no, no.
00:32:47.000 Dolphins.
00:32:48.000 No, he was coach of the Saints.
00:32:51.000 Was it the Saints?
00:32:52.000 He traded every draft pick.
00:32:55.000 He just emptied the entire, like, he traded like nine different draft picks.
00:33:02.000 And Ricky Williams ended up being kind of like Fast Bob Marley, like kind of.
00:33:07.000 1999, Ditka decided that he wanted Williams to play for the Saints.
00:33:10.000 Yep.
00:33:11.000 And he traded everyone.
00:33:12.000 And that Mike Ditka, I'm a big Ditka fan, by the way.
00:33:16.000 DeBersh, okay?
00:33:18.000 From Chicago, all of you listening on AM560 The Answer.
00:33:21.000 No offense to all of you listening on 77 on the Dial and WABC.
00:33:24.000 God bless you guys, but the Chicago first program here, as far as my own allegiances.
00:33:29.000 I have to say, though, one of the worst trades ever done, at least alignments. 0.51
00:33:34.000 But Obama and Bergdahl, much worse than that.
00:33:41.000 It's worth explaining what he did trade away.
00:33:43.000 He traded every pick he had in the draft, plus two of its first three picks in the 2000 draft, the year after, which is, you know, that's a lot.
00:33:56.000 I remember the, yeah, there it is right there.
00:33:57.000 The cover, the cover of ESPN was Ricky Williams in like this wedding dress and Mike Ditka in this kind of weird tuxedo cover of ESPN magazine.
00:34:07.000 That actually used to be a really good magazine before they discontinued it.
00:34:09.000 It was way better than Sports Illustrated.
00:34:11.000 But ESPN has gone totally woke.
00:34:13.000 I went to ESPN.com the other day.
00:34:14.000 I'm a big college football fan.
00:34:16.000 And still, I know I suck it up.
00:34:18.000 I still watch college football.
00:34:19.000 And it actually wasn't as woke as I thought it would be this last weekend.
00:34:23.000 But I go to ESPN.com, the first article, the struggle for transgender athletes.
00:34:27.000 I'm like, my goodness, can I not escape for like 35 seconds from this thing, the front page of Disney ESPN?
00:34:34.000 And so forget ESPN.
00:34:36.000 But there was some great college football.
00:34:38.000 But in closing, a statesman, someone in charge of being able to trade, someone in charge who's able to make deals and broker terrorists for a traitor, they must always defend and make that deal in defense of the homeland.
00:34:57.000 But what we saw with Obama and Biden and every single one of their decisions internationally and globally, empowering Iran, putting the Taliban back in power, was almost all pointing towards the strengthening of the Chinese Communist Party and their regime.
00:35:13.000 Who is running our country?
00:35:14.000 Well, the cash flows almost all go back to companies connected to or controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. 0.52
00:35:23.000 Bo Bergdahl, the traitor of the United States that people died looking for, that reveals exactly what this regime did recently in Afghanistan.
00:35:34.000 Gave away $85 billion in weapons intentionally, allowed the Taliban to take over Kabul intentionally.
00:35:41.000 Did nothing when a suicide bomber came and killed 13 Marines intentionally.
00:35:46.000 Our current regime right now is not controlled by people who have loyalty or allegiance to America.
00:35:54.000 Biden and his allies within the White House are being totally controlled by proxies that are much more loyal to Xi Jinping and the aims, wants, and desires of the Chinese Communist Party and their sinister and malevolent aims to take over Taiwan, which is happening very soon, by the way.
00:36:12.000 Just so you know, China has entered Taiwan airspace.
00:36:15.000 We covered that the other day, and almost no one else is covering that.
00:36:18.000 And it all goes back down, goes back to how Obama laid the groundwork for this.
00:36:24.000 He laid the groundwork through the trades.
00:36:27.000 He laid the groundwork through the empowerment of Iran, through the World Trade Organization, through who he sent to the UN. 0.74
00:36:34.000 And now we're in this geopolitical mess that we're in, playing on other countries' terms. 0.67
