00:00:21.840

00:00:42.340
you're tuning in for truly appreciate it over the weekend president trump making some news headlines
00:00:47.460
we're going to get to that in just a few moments but before we get to that i want to turn to something
00:00:52.200
to someone who just won't seem to go away someone who just won't seem to disappear someone would
00:00:58.880
describe it as a leech someone would describe it as a metaphorical hemorrhoid uh he just won't go
00:01:04.600
away now you're probably wondering who am i talking about some of you have probably already figured it
00:01:09.320
out none other than former vice president mike pence he received an award over the weekend for his great
00:01:15.960
courage it wasn't something he did in his personal life on his personal time what he did as a government
00:01:24.140
official for the community for you know for somebody it was for what he did on january 6th you all remember
00:01:31.380
what he did on january 6th he certified a stolen election but mike pence said he did it in the name of
00:01:38.740
god that's the guys he constantly uses to justify his actions for certifying a stolen election take
00:01:45.920
a listen to pence over the weekend i will always believe by god's grace i did my duty that day
00:01:54.420
to support the peaceful transfer of power under the constitution of the united states of america
00:02:02.000
god's grace is is the the way that mike pence justifies what he did on that day
00:02:11.360
truly sad because pence did indeed certify a stolen election so i'm not sure why pence won't just go off
00:02:23.440
into the sunset go get a lobbying job making a million bucks somewhere and just disappear i don't
00:02:29.800
want anything bad to happen to him but i just want him to disappear go off into the sunset you're very
00:02:35.560
irrelevant you will never be president you will never be governor you'll never be a senator
00:02:38.740
you will never step foot back in politics again you've let that ship sail when you decided to
00:02:44.840
let that stolen election stand president trump as i said over the weekend making some news headlines
00:02:51.320
one of them was uh the reopening of alcatraz that beautiful prison off the coast of california
00:02:58.260
um president trump spoke about it in the oval office today he was with mayor muriel bowser and nfl
00:03:05.160
commissioner roger goodell now when you watch this video folks i want you to just watch the faces of
00:03:11.060
roger goodell and mayor uh muriel bowser i mean it's absolutely absolutely brilliant at president
00:03:19.880
trump answering these questions in the oval office let's take a listen okay yes ma'am thank you
00:03:25.140
oh sorry rob i put up the wrong video uh here we go 330 here we go how did you decide to reopen
00:03:37.480
alcatraz can you walk us through that decision did i say what to reopen alcatraz how will you use it how
00:03:43.380
did you come up with the idea well i guess i was supposed to be a movie maker we're talking to we
00:03:48.220
started with the movie making it will end i mean it it represents something very strong very powerful
00:03:54.200
in terms of law and order our country needs law and order alcatraz is uh i would say the ultimate
00:04:00.780
right alcatraz sing sing and alcatraz the movies but uh it's right now a museum believe it or not a lot
00:04:09.040
of people go there it has the uh most violent criminals in the world and nobody ever escaped one person
00:04:17.180
almost got there but they as you know the story they found his clothing rather badly ripped up
00:04:23.240
and uh it was a lot of shark bites a lot of a lot of problems nobody's ever escaped from alcatraz and
00:04:30.420
just represented something uh strong having to do with law and order we need law and order in this
00:04:36.100
country and so we're going to uh look at it some of the people up here are going to be working very
00:04:42.300
hard on that and uh we had a little conversation i think it's going to be very interesting we'll see
00:04:47.440
if we can uh bring it back in large form add a lot but i think it represents something right now it's uh
00:04:55.160
a big hulk they're sitting there rusting and rotting uh very uh you look at it it's sort of an
00:05:02.620
you saw that picture that was put out it's sort of amazing but it sort of represents something that's
00:05:08.580
both horrible and beautiful and strong and miserable weak it's got a lot of it's got a lot
00:05:16.660
of qualities that are interesting and i think they they make a point okay are you there's only one
00:05:24.460
other person in the world who could host a press conference talking about alcatraz while standing
00:05:30.540
next to the mayor of washington dc who's a marxist and the commissioner of the nfl uh and that man is
00:05:36.960
donald j trump so president trump ordering his doj to look into the reopening of alcatraz
00:05:42.000
because he's tired of these marxist judges who are saying we can't deport people so instead of
00:05:47.440
sending them to el salvador some of them we'll send them off the coast of california and alcatraz
00:05:52.380
where it's essentially the same thing just a little bit more expensive but the democrats don't mind
00:05:57.100
about spending a little extra money right president trump also asked by a trump deranged reporter
00:06:04.660
for none other than fox news jackie heinrich you folks have heard me talk about her a little bit
00:06:09.060
on this show and about my time at fox news with her about her reporting very questionable reporting and
00:06:16.780
her favoritism towards joe biden but anyway she asked him about a picture that was posted of him
00:06:23.840
dressed as the pope take a listen to president trump's brilliant response okay yes ma'am thank
00:06:31.000
you mr president we're not so happy about the image of you looking like the pope oh i see you mean
00:06:37.980
they can't take a joke you don't mean the catholics you mean the fake news media not the catholics loved
00:06:43.960
it i had nothing to do with it somebody made up a picture of me dressed like the pope and they put it
00:06:49.560
out on the internet that's not me that did it i have no idea where it came from maybe it was ai but
00:06:55.960
uh i know nothing about it i just saw it uh last evening actually my wife thought it was cute
00:07:02.520
she said isn't that nice my question about actually i would not be able to be married though
00:07:07.840
that would be a lot i'd have to to the best of my knowledge popes aren't big on getting married
00:07:14.500
are they not that we know of no no i think it's a fake news media that you know they they're fakers
00:07:20.720
my question though sir was about the fact that it was put out on the white house account even though
00:07:25.500
it was ai generated it was a joke it was a meme does it at all diminish the substance of the
00:07:31.960
official white house account to have it go out on fact it was just somebody did it in fun
00:07:39.260
it's fine have to have a little fun don't you uh yeah please go ahead tell me about that
00:07:44.500
jackie heinrich is absolutely trump deranged and uh as i said you maybe heard me talk about her here
00:07:51.580
on this show before my time at fox news uh jackie heinrich went out on the whim to um talk about
00:07:59.300
hunter biden and when that story came out about holding 10 for the big guy she had come out and
00:08:04.300
sent an email out to fox guaranteeing us by the way within moments of this story coming out uh that
00:08:10.820
uh hunter biden and and joe biden joe biden that 10 health for the big guy was not joe biden she
00:08:16.420
guaranteed us that it was not him and um we now know that's not true um i've posted the uh screenshots
00:08:24.640
on my twitter but that's the fake news that we're faced with folks in the oval office every day jackie
00:08:29.980
heinrich a total trump hater fox news has gone so far left i don't know how they return it's truly
00:08:37.720
remarkable that anyone still tunes into that garbage um but it's not just jackie it's some
00:08:43.800
of their hosts trey gowdy one of them uh over the weekend had on carl rove who's a fox news contributor
00:08:50.380
man they pay probably high six figures to to be on their network talking about tariffs like they know
00:08:57.620
a damn thing about tariffs take listen to these two rhinos talking about it but if the president were
00:09:03.160
to call me i would say i want you to address the nation from the oval office on the issue of tariffs
00:09:08.200
no media no questions explain to them exactly what you're doing why you're doing it and why perhaps
00:09:14.340
a little bit of short-term pain is going to be worth it why not do that why not just go to the oval
00:09:19.940
office and speak directly to the american people yeah i wish he'd done it at the beginning of this
00:09:25.420
process i think he may be at a point where the american people say well great now you tell us
00:09:30.600
uh and but it would be better it would be better to give a formal address to the country than to
00:09:35.780
make these offhand comments i thought it was really problematic when he said well you know what
00:09:40.620
the kids that you know those little girls at christmas they don't need 30 dollars they can do
00:09:44.540
it too and if they have to pay a couple more bucks for them you know okay well it sounds like mr scrooge
00:09:49.460
and the ordinary american is like wait a minute i thought you were on my side i didn't think mr scrooge
00:09:56.360
what the hell does carl rove know about tariffs or anything this is the same carl rove who told us
00:10:05.740
months before donald trump won before the the primary was over how unpopular donald trump was
00:10:14.760
and how nikki haley needed to be the nominee don't take my word for it take his word for it here he is
00:10:21.380
well look these are the two most unpopular front runners for the major parties since we began polling
00:10:27.840
on that question in 1936 depending on what poll you look at as much as three quarters of the american
00:10:33.800
people do not want to see a biden trump rerun and uh and the party that figures out that a new face
00:10:39.580
gives them an advantage is the party that's going to win take the new wall street journal poll in which
00:10:43.860
donald trump is ahead of of joe biden by a couple of points nikki haley is ahead of of uh joe biden by
00:10:51.660
i think it's 17 points so you know there's a huge difference the american people want something new
00:10:57.020
for 32 years we were governed by men of the greatest generation for 32 years we've been governed by men
00:11:02.560
from the from the uh from the baby boomers or in the case of joe biden from the generation before the
00:11:07.640
baby boomers the american people want a younger attractive strong effective candidate in my opinion
00:11:13.020
nikki haley seems to be that focus for now we'll see what happens carl
00:11:16.980
how well did that work out for you carl rove in his opinion the american people wanted a strong young
00:11:25.120
candidate interesting carl is that why donald trump in 2024 and in 2020 2024 was a new record he said but
00:11:35.760
2020 got the most votes of any republican in the history of the country in my opinion it was the most votes
00:11:42.820
in history that 81 million votes that joe biden had got you folks all remember that right the 81
00:11:50.540
million votes that joe biden allegedly had gotten right so before that no democrat had ever gotten
00:11:57.400
more than 70 million votes including barack obama who i didn't particularly like but polled very well
00:12:03.800
the first black president so joe biden first democrat the most unpopular man probably in democrat
00:12:11.160
politics the first man to uh get over 70 million votes in fact over 80 million votes 81 million votes
00:12:17.840
so carl rove uh saying donald trump um greatly unpopular he promised us 74.2 million votes in 2020
00:12:29.380
when that election was stolen from him and 77.3 million votes in 2024 this last election he won
00:12:38.840
yet carl rove so he got more he got 3 million more votes this time around than in 2020 and carl rove
00:12:46.600
promised us that the american people wanted something different they didn't want donald trump anymore
00:12:52.120
but we're supposed to take carl rove's advice on tariffs are we right the man the lackey for
00:12:59.380
nikki haley we're supposed to take his advice on tariffs folks you can't make this stuff up
00:13:05.480
speaking of tariffs by the way uh india this is breaking news india has reportedly offered donald
00:13:10.640
trump zero for zero tariffs on auto parts steel and pharmaceuticals did you hear that carl rove
00:13:18.240
zero for zero tariffs with a nation like india it makes sense you've often heard me say uh nations
00:13:24.680
like vietnam cambodia doesn't make sense india most certainly makes sense so tell us more mr carl
00:13:33.340
rove about those dolls buying 30 dolls for your kids on christmas come down to reality for just a
00:13:39.720
second to where us normal americans live i don't know any american not even the richest of the rich
00:13:46.260
who are buying their kids 30 dolls on christmas carl so um it's best you take your right on this
00:13:51.960
keep it on fox news we don't want to hear about it i thought it was important to bring to you guys
00:13:55.920
to let you know what fox news the propaganda they're putting out so you guys don't have to
00:14:03.480
watch it uh there's something important happening folks uh you know i don't ask you guys for anything
00:14:08.040
on the show i appreciate you guys tuning in that's enough for me each and every night but there's
00:14:12.380
something big happening um and we have not much time to get it taken care of we've got just about two
00:14:18.660
weeks uh donald trump has appointed a man by the name of ed martin to be the u.s attorney for the
00:14:24.380
district of washington dc now there's some rhinos in the senate who are holding it up and it's
00:14:29.400
people that you probably could have figured out without me telling you um we'll give you the names
00:14:35.660
of them senators tom tillis of north carolina senator john corin of texas uh who's being primaried right
00:14:42.900

and he's specifically probing graves matthew graves u.s attorney for that 15 c2 charge that
00:15:36.300
obstruction charge which they use on all democrats there's one problem folks if he's not sworn in if
00:15:43.160
he's not confirmed by may 20th judge bosberg that's right judge bosberg is going to get to pick his
00:15:52.120
temporary replacement is that same marxist who's been going after trump for the illegal aliens but
00:16:01.100

there's no other way to have it folks the the marxist dems if they get bosberg to put somebody
00:16:44.840
in there it's not going to be pretty for trump it's not going to be pretty for the administration
00:16:48.400
so please i don't ask you folks for much as i said you tuning in there's enough for me 202-224-3121
00:16:56.180
202-224-3121 uh and demand your senator confirm ed martin for uh u.s attorney at dc folks our guest
00:17:05.620
today uh is a man who much like donald trump was a political prisoner he was exiled from his own
00:17:11.220
country for speaking out against dictators he was exiled from the nba for speaking out against china
00:17:17.980
and the abuses his name is ennis canter freedom he actually changed his name in 2021 when he became a
00:17:24.220
u.s citizen legally by the way passing a citizenship test becoming a citizen in 2021 and his canter freedom
00:17:31.180
he played in the nba for 11 seasons and back in 2020 after the george floyd protest and covid during
00:17:38.720
covid but the summer of love colin kaepernick putting a target on cops backs canter felt the
00:17:44.920
need to come and speak out against china's abuse their slave labor their abuse of the uyghurs their
00:17:50.500
abuse of tibetans their abuse of christians he felt the need that he couldn't be quiet anymore
00:17:56.660
so he came out and he made a stand and he took a stand and since then he's been exiled to never play
00:18:03.800
in the nba again a man who had a very promising career he was drafted in the first round in a draft
00:18:10.440
class of all-stars kyrie irving uh jimmy butler some of the greatest players to ever play he was drafted
00:18:17.040
third so this isn't just some ordinary basketball player this is a man who played 11 seasons as a
00:18:23.600
very very good player who gave it all up to call out corruption to call out crimes against humanity
00:18:31.820
he's a great man he's a great american and he's a great friend
00:18:35.480
and it's it's great to have you on the great america show i really appreciate you joining us i want
00:18:45.340
to start with with explaining to you and telling you how much of a respect i have for you how much
00:18:49.920
you have given up a lot of people have heard your story don't realize what you gave up a first round
00:18:56.200
draft pick in a in a draft class of just nba stars jimmy butler kyrie irving you were the third pick
00:19:03.460
so you're not just some bullshit basketball player who started to run his mouth to get big you're a
00:19:08.280
number one draft pick in an all-star nba draft class okay but it's more than basketball for the audience
00:19:14.540
who's sitting here right now like what the hell are we doing talking about basketball it's the nba
00:19:17.600
playoffs but uh you gave up so much money you gave up uh going to back to your home country to see
00:19:23.900
your parent you gave up so much i want to start with first and it's you you were born in in switzerland
00:19:28.500
you moved to back to turkey where your family's originally from and then you came to america when
00:19:33.840
you came to america to start your basketball career things really started to go downhill for you
00:19:39.760
and your family let's start right there how it all started for the audience right first of all thank
00:19:45.720
you for having me man um it's a great pleasure for sure but you know i think you know my whole
00:19:51.780
activism started when i was a little kid because um especially you know um in turkey or middle east i
00:20:02.700
will say um if you're a politician and if you want to be elected again you do a couple things you know
00:20:08.500
you attack america you attack christian people and you attack jewish people this has nothing to do with
00:20:14.660
the with the religion islam or this has nothing to do with um the school system it's an easy way
00:20:22.400
to the top if you're a politician and many people use that so i remember growing up in turkey many
00:20:29.300
of my you know um politicians there was a hatred towards america jewish people christian people
00:20:36.960
and um i remember one day i was a little kid i went downstairs to play with my friends
00:20:42.300
and my friends which you know who are not even teenagers they were burning american flags
00:20:48.800
and i was like what are you guys doing they said well we should hate america we should hate the
00:20:54.820
christian people hate the jewish people i was like why they said well that's what we see on tv that's
00:21:00.300
what we see on the newspapers so they gave me a flag to burn it they gave me a flag they gave me a
00:21:06.100
lighter they said burn it i looked down i was like this is not a right thing to do i threw the flag
00:21:13.900
down i went upstairs to my mom i was like mom my friends are telling me to hate america hate christian
00:21:19.520
people hate jewish people like what do i do my mom said i'm not going to tell you what to do but do not
00:21:25.260
hate anyone before you meet them so that day i gave a promise to my mom
00:21:29.320
and the environment that i was growing up in was getting so toxic every day my dad is like enough
00:21:35.980
is enough you're going to america i even remember asking my dad you really want me to go to devil's
00:21:42.420
nest he's like go ahead and see yourself i mean i was so lucky because my parents were very well i mean
00:21:48.240
very well educated my dad was one of the biggest scientists in turkey
00:21:51.540
my mom was was so excited but nervous at the same time so i started meeting with my teammates
00:22:02.040
people on the streets and i remember two of my teammates which were christians you know i remember
00:22:10.980
i walked in a locker room and we had an amazing practice and then after the practice they said well
00:22:16.820
we know that you're muslim would you like to take you to a mosque would you like us to take you
00:22:25.680
wait wait a second that's not what i learned for the last 17 years back in back at home so
00:22:37.560
and then after that slowly everything started to change i went to school in kentucky
00:22:45.340
and my teammates were really patient with me um i stayed with an american family and i remember i
00:22:52.500
walked into their house front of their house they had an american flag i'm like is this an embassy or
00:22:58.460
is it a house they said no it's a house like why do you guys have an american flag it's about we love
00:23:03.800
our country i was very confused um and then slowly i started to get to know people and then once i learned
00:23:12.220
that everything that they were teaching me back at home was just completely
00:23:17.860
a lie i was like now it's my mission to inspire and educate the youth back at home so that's
00:23:28.440
unbelievable no you know and it's uh we get a bad rap americans right but uh we're not half bad people
00:23:34.800
and you know only ignorant people uh talk about religion in a sense where it matters my best
00:23:40.920
friends are muslim my two best friends who i've known for the last 20 years who i can call on the
00:23:45.440
phone right now and it's regardless of where they are in the world and they'll be there to have my back
00:23:49.780
they're muslim okay uh i have a lot of jewish friends i have a lot of catholic friends you know
00:23:54.860
what it doesn't matter at the end of the day only ignorant people thinks thinks it matters about what
00:23:59.920
religion and what you believe in it really makes no difference i believe at the end of the day and
00:24:04.480
if you're religious or you're not if you're a good person that's how your destiny will be chosen and
00:24:09.780
uh you know you lived a career of uh and a life of of honesty and integrity so you're here in america
00:24:17.340
now you're living with an american family it comes time now to go into the nba you get into the nba and
00:24:23.300
i mean i'm a big nicks fan as i told you before the show 11 year career and you weren't putting up
00:24:29.240
bs numbers you're putting up double digit points a game for a center you're putting up high rebounds
00:24:34.100
near double doubles every game which is what you want out of a center like i said the number three
00:24:38.200
pick you get in the nba you have everything going for you you're on the utah jazz you're on the oklahoma
00:24:43.100
city thunder you're on the new york knicks you're on the boston celtics you're on the trail you're all
00:24:46.740
on the elite among elite teams okay everything is going great for you ennis and then something flips in
00:24:55.140
the back of your mind you say i can't be silent anymore and like i said this happened now towards
00:25:00.040
the end of where your career was but at the end of your career your statistics your numbers were still
00:25:04.760
really damn high for an nba player even after 11 years so tell me uh tell the audience because i know
00:25:12.140
the story tell the audience at what point you decided it's time to speak out against everything
00:25:17.260
and so i couldn't matter anymore so i've been speaking about some of the human rights violations
00:25:24.000
that have happened in my home country turkey for the last 11 years and that led them to put my dad
00:25:30.020
in jail um they put my name on interpol list they actually put a bounty on my head um they revoked my
00:25:36.860
passport uh they actually tried to deport me back to turkey but shout out to senator lankford if he
00:25:43.600
wasn't for him i would be in turkey in jail right now he was the one actually saved me when they
00:25:49.000
were about to deport me from romania back to turkey he made some calls so i've been talking about the
00:25:55.540
dictatorship in turkey for the last 10 11 years you know it all i think it all started during covet
00:26:02.820
so i'm sure i don't know if you watched it or not but during covet uh nba didn't want to lose any
00:26:08.840
more money so they put us in this thing called nba bubble yes i mean i remember having conversation
00:26:14.800
with many of the nba officials they're like well this is we are not here for basketball we are here
00:26:19.540
for social justice talk about the things that are happening in america so as a foreigner i was very
00:26:25.980
like confused you know i was like trying to learn i had so many conversations with my teammates and
00:26:31.700
stuff so i was just literally just watching because as an as a foreigner you're just like trying to
00:26:36.920
learn you know so nba it was all about social justice all the players were putting on their
00:26:43.840
shoes brianna taylor i can't breathe uh black revolution the nba put these all those that blm
00:26:51.480
logos on the floor nba put all these like phrases behind our jersey which was controlled by the nba
00:26:57.020
so if you wanted to pick like stand with hong kong you're not allowed to wear you only can only wear
00:27:03.420
like 20 something like word um so i was just like literally just getting to know like what was
00:27:11.760
happening so literally two years later right i decided to speak up about the problems are happening
00:27:21.000
in china because it's literally a genocide happening over there towards uigur people tibetans i mean
00:27:28.460
hong kongers i'm sure you see what's happening in hong kong uh taiwan has been getting um you know
00:27:34.220
threatened every day by the chinese communist party so i was like you know what why is no one talking
00:27:39.360
about this issue so i started to speak up right and i wanted to do it in a very unique way because
00:27:46.080
i could have just gone do an interview i could you know just tweet about it and stuff but
00:27:51.340
i really wanted to inspire the millions of young fans out there so i remember i grew up as a lakers
00:27:58.520
fan which Celtics people are going to hate that but i know i grew up as a lakers fan so whenever i
00:28:04.780
watched the lakers when i was a little kid whenever i watched kobe shack or whoever the first thing i
00:28:10.240
was like looking it was the shoes what color what brand if it's comfortable and the next day i was
00:28:16.220
waking up and telling my dad please buy those shoes for me so i'm playing for the Celtics
00:28:22.300
and our first game against the knicks at stepless center home opener for them games on espn literally
00:28:29.440
the whole world is there every celebrity you can't think of was at that game biggest rivalry for the
00:28:34.260
Celtics so i come up with this idea i was like you know what two years ago all the nba players was
00:28:41.660
putting on their shoes black lives matter george floyd i can't breathe and stuff so if they're
00:28:47.660
allowed to put that on their shoes i am i should be allowed to put free tibet free uigurs i don't
00:28:55.220
know like stand with hong kong stand with taiwan right so exactly those shoes so i started to like
00:29:02.680
wear that shoes and my first game right before the game we are in a huddle a minute before the game
00:29:10.400
two gentlemen who works for the nba what they were working for the Celtics as well came up to me and
00:29:15.520
say you got to take your shoes off i was like excuse me they said your shoes has been getting so much
00:29:21.660
attention internationally you got to take them off so it was the perfect moment for me because i was
00:29:28.680
just getting ready for my citizenship test so i closed my eyes i was like okay we have 27 amendments
00:29:35.740
our first amendment free more speech i opened my eyes i turned around i was like no i'm not taking
00:29:42.000
them off they're like what do you mean they said even if i get fine go tell your boss i'm not taking
00:29:48.460
them off they said buddy we're not talking about getting fine we're talking about getting banned
00:29:53.080
so they were literally threatening me to get banned just because i was wearing their shoes
00:29:57.700
so that half i played zero minutes i went back to locker room i looked at my phone there was thousands
00:30:05.940
of notifications i clicked on the one that my manager sent it to me he said every Celtics game
00:30:12.840
is banned in china dude it took them 24 minutes first quarter second quarter 24 minutes to cancel
00:30:22.260
every Celtics game rest of the season i went out there the second half i played zero minutes which
00:30:29.880
i played every game before that so after the game my manager called me i promise you by the way we lost
00:30:38.920
that game um play zero minutes we lost that to the knicks and in overtime yep um my manager was saying
00:30:46.120
we have immediate requests from all over the world what did we do i was like cancel everything because i
00:30:51.460
just don't want my teammates to think i'm doing this for attention so we cancel everything
00:30:55.160
after the game nbpa called me the player association which i paid thousands of dollars
00:31:01.900
every month to protect my rights against the nba they said listen man you know what you did exactly
00:31:08.640
you cannot wear those shoes ever again i was like am i breaking in rules they said no but you know
00:31:14.940
exactly what you did don't worry about breaking now this is supposed to be the union ennis this is the
00:31:19.620
union that's supposed to protect you right yeah sure i mean anyways i was like well what about two
00:31:27.360
years ago they were putting all these messages on their shoes when all the protests were happening
00:31:32.020
in america how are they were allowed and how am i not allowed yeah they said well it's a different
00:31:37.260
system so they pressured me so much they said nba is actually pressuring us so much you cannot wear them
00:31:44.780
ever again i was like my first shoes was free tibet i was like i promise i'm not gonna wear free tibet
00:31:52.460
shoes ever again they said promise i said promise i hang up so the second game it was our home opener
00:31:58.760
against some team whatever so i wore free uygur shoes so they called me after the game they said
00:32:05.760
you're a liar you lied to us blah blah we can never just no i'm just smarter than you exactly i was like
00:32:12.500
i never said i'm not gonna wear free uygur shoes i just said i'm just not gonna wear free tibet shoes
00:32:16.220
last one i'm gonna tell you the third game or the fourth game i can't remember was against
00:32:21.620
charlotte hornets and you own charlotte michael jordan so he he was at the game i wore
00:32:31.360
nike shoes which you know nike yep stands with black lives matter no asian hate lgbtq community
00:32:38.980
latino community in america but everybody knows knows about the sweatshops so i put that on the
00:32:44.980
michael jordan shoes made with slave labor i went on the court and wore that shoes in front of him
00:32:52.940
i remember still like he was his hand was on his face anyway he was just very frustrated
00:32:57.860
after the game many of my teammates woke up to me and say listen man you know you criticize nike
00:33:04.940
you criticize china this is your last year have fun just pray that we win a championship but you're
00:33:11.500
never gonna play basketball ever again in nba and that pretty much happened you know february came
00:33:16.780
before even the season ended and they traded me i got released and um that was the end
00:33:23.700
that's such a joke i mean it makes like zero zero sense i don't think uh i may be wrong on this but
00:33:30.960
i think i'm right that's kind of a weird saying i don't think nike makes one piece of clothing one
00:33:37.120
piece of apparel here in america now for a company that's consumed by almost every single american i
00:33:43.620
haven't met an american uh or anybody in this country who doesn't own some piece of nike anything
00:33:50.600
and it's uh and these people they they come here and they sell out america and it's so pathetic
00:33:57.240
because it's not just the nba teams you would think the owner of the nba who's it's a national
00:34:02.860
basketball association here in america would stand up for you but he didn't take a listen i want to
00:34:08.220
take a listen to an interview adam silver did in 2019 2020 just how two-faced this man is and how
00:34:14.760
big of a scum he is as the years have gone on the nba has increased its presence in china but always
00:34:22.200
until very recent history at the encouragement of the state department of of various administrations
00:34:30.000
again from both sides of the aisle that it was viewed as a really positive thing that we were
00:34:34.640
exporting american values to china through the nba now i could now there are definitely trade-offs
00:34:41.680
there and somebody could say you know given the system of government in china you the nba should
00:34:47.620
make a decision not to operate there i would only say that at the end of the day i think those are
00:34:52.960
decisions for our government in terms of where american business should operate i continue to believe
00:34:59.820
that the people the people exchanges we're seeing by playing in china are positive and it's helping
00:35:05.900
it helps cultures learn about each other again it allows us to export sort of american values to china
00:35:11.860
those those values came head you know came came to an abrupt stop in certain cases when when there was
00:35:19.560
a tweet by a general manager and losing track of seasons it's still i guess it was still this season
00:35:24.820
it was when when this season that we're still in began there was there was a tweet by a general
00:35:29.460
manager and as a result of that tweet we the nba were taken off cctv chinese central television in
00:35:37.460
china now we could have decided because they took us off chinese central television that we should
00:35:43.860
therefore in a sense take our ball and go home and stop operating there the fact is our games continued
00:35:50.280
to be streamed on a service called tencent in china and we've continued in there at least that's my
00:35:56.340
view that it's it's been net positive to to to not move to disengagement that that's not good for the
00:36:03.480
world and that superpowers like the nba and china i'm sorry like the u.s and china need to find ways
00:36:12.180
to continue to operate together i mean this man is a total fool and it's real quickly i want to get your
00:36:18.220
reaction to this but he mentions a few things the nba contract with the nba is worth 400 million
00:36:23.320
dollars it's about 10 of what the nba 10 of their salary he mentions a company called tencent tencent
00:36:29.580
is a 1.5 billion dollar deal with the nba first of all adam silver should have been out there
00:36:36.240
protecting you protecting americans and saying what really goes on he mentions american values
00:36:42.480
multiple times that man doesn't know american values and it's if it slapped him right across his
00:36:47.000
bald stupid head and i'm sorry i don't mean to offend anyone bald and stupid but that man is is a total
00:36:53.520
fool so here's my reaction you know uh let me just get this straight like i think our audience needs to
00:37:01.600
know 40 nba owners got tied up 10 billion with the b dollar in china more people watch america more
00:37:12.160
people watch nba games in china than american population last year so think about the jersey
00:37:18.900
sales shoe sales think about all the you know tv deals many players whenever their season is over
00:37:25.880
you know what do you do you gotta relax you go to vacation with your family and stuff right
00:37:30.600
they go to china why because millions of dollars so um after i got blackball by the nba i was actually
00:37:40.340
having this hearing uh in the congress and they were asking me obviously a lot of questions and stuff right
00:37:47.180
and it was democrats and republicans um i asked them one simple question i was like listen
00:37:53.260
how can we keep talking about our freedom in in america right how can the biggest dictatorship in the world
00:38:00.500
can control a hundred percent american made company organization like nba and fire a u.s citizen
00:38:10.180
and everyone is okay with it but we keep bragging about our freedom like enough is now we gotta do
00:38:18.440
some because nba just only got a small portion if you see what china is actually doing into america
00:38:23.760
it's it breaks my heart listen nba is not the only one you see wall street academias big tech congress
00:38:30.900
local congresses hollywood it's just they all farmland tiktok they all pretty much is controlled by
00:38:39.720
the chinese government pretty much so i mean we gotta stop man like this man adam silvers keep talking
00:38:48.420
about this americana and you know talking about the rights we have in this country but like you're
00:38:54.600
literally becoming a part of the genocide you know your biggest sponsor nike is literally
00:39:00.560
convicting and and you know be a part of the genocide happening in xinjiang area right now
00:39:10.160
so i think you know they have to take the right stand and i had a couple he was talking about
00:39:16.480
daryl mori i actually did have a conversation with daryl mori and he said listen when i put
00:39:23.020
stand with hong kong tweets the nba pressured me so much they made me took my tweet down they made me
00:39:30.420
make some comments that i wasn't comfortable with like oh i wasn't educated enough blah blah and stuff
00:39:36.400
he said you don't take your tweet down you keep doing what you're doing because no other athlete
00:39:41.640
will do what you're doing because they care too much about money and business and this is the thing
00:39:47.000
like this is not politics because many people after i started to talk about this they said well
00:39:52.080
the athletes should stay stay away from politics i was like this is not politics this is pure human
00:39:57.540
rights i don't care if you're from the right from the left you cheer for trump biden whoever you cheer
00:40:03.680
for you have to care about human rights you know and i was like put yourself in their shoes i actually
00:40:10.080
had this conversation with my teammates in a lot of them i was like put yourself in their shoes
00:40:13.640
if your mother if your sister or if your daughter was in those concentration camps getting torture and
00:40:20.040
rape every day would you still pick money and business over your morals values and principles
00:40:26.260
i really want adam silver to answer this question you know so yes you're making millions or maybe
00:40:32.720
billions of dollars um but at the same time what happened to stand with social justice what happened
00:40:40.320
to stand with democracy and freedom so you only stand up the things that you care about you know
00:40:46.120
until it hits your pocket yeah because you know you're not gonna lose any kind of money if you are
00:40:51.600
standing the things that are happening in america but china boom losing millions maybe billions yeah it
00:40:58.580
wasn't about politics and it's uh when george floyd got killed right it wasn't about politics when
00:41:03.900
colin kaepernick put a target on 750 000 cops across america by targeting police officers that they were
00:41:10.660
fine with that right they put those bullshit slogans which i think there's still some like you had said
00:41:15.360
on the back of the jerseys stop racism uh and this and hate there is none of that in america okay
00:41:21.120
there's individual cases and it's everywhere you're gonna find something everywhere or something
00:41:25.920
but the overwhelming majority and i'm talking about 99 of america is not racist like the
00:41:32.200
mainstream media wants you to believe it ennis so it's actually a very sad story because colin
00:41:38.200
actually was my good friend this dude used to send me gifts literally once every two months
00:41:45.540
i have this i slept i don't know i slept in jersey somewhere the day i started to criticize
00:41:51.340
nikki i never hear heard from i ever again what did you tell me like i want to give him a credit
00:41:56.520
because he actually helped me a lot with the all the turkish stuff because he was telling me okay
00:42:01.620
you should take this road and you should say this and that so me and him met before we even have
00:42:06.280
actually have a picture together on the internet so he was helping me with turkey and stuff but
00:42:10.900
did they are criticizing that i never heard from member again and that actually hurt because i really
00:42:15.840
cared i thought he was like he was the freedom guy and he was this and that guy but i'm like
00:42:20.620
what happened you know so um no i mean i mean people keep talking about america how i mean even
00:42:29.020
like some of my teammates like oh my god how terrible america is america is trash and blah blah
00:42:33.680
i remember i walked in a locker room one day and they were just bashing america right i was like guys
00:42:39.480
listen our season is about to be over whenever our season is over i'm gonna get your plane ticket it's
00:42:46.740
first class don't worry let's go to some of these countries out there let's go to iran let's go to
00:42:51.740
russia let's go to north korea let's go to china let's go to turkey forget about calling them trash
00:42:57.200
you criticize those governments or regimes whatever you call it you and your family members will be in
00:43:03.540
jail tortured to death so so sometimes people don't know how good we have in this country so
00:43:11.780
if someone goes out there and bash america calls them trash i know for facts that they don't travel
00:43:18.020
enough yeah and they take everything for granted and it's those same guys who are sitting in the
00:43:23.020
locker room bashing america have no problem taking a 10 million dollar check a year 15 million dollar
00:43:27.880
check a year yet you're a man who would have probably continued on making i don't know the end
00:43:33.920
of your career five six seven million dollars a year whatever you know you get after a veteran
00:43:38.140
middle before a veteran minimum that you gave up i mean that's real money and it's that's money that
00:43:43.120
people don't make in a lifetime like 99 of americans you know the day i started to criticize actually
00:43:49.900
mba my agent called me i was like listen man i vote for you i don't vote for them you so i gotta be
00:43:54.420
honest with you if you say another word you're 29 years old you can play another like you know six
00:44:01.580
seven years if you take care of your body if you make another like five six seven million a year
00:44:06.420
that's like what six times what um say like six million right that's 36 million that's literally
00:44:13.520
35 to 40 million dollar so you're not only throwing throwing away your mba career you're literally
00:44:18.740
throwing away 30 to 40 million dollars are you ready for it i hang up i never talk to them again
00:44:24.860
because like they need to understand while we are comfortably playing basketball in america
00:44:30.240
on the other side of the world man like people are losing their loved ones losing their lives and
00:44:35.440
losing their homes like i don't know if they're like looking at the news i don't know what come
00:44:42.220
where where which outlet they're getting their source at and stuff but like we are very lucky and
00:44:48.620
blessed to to live in a country like america you know i'm not saying america's perfect we got a lot
00:44:54.000
of things to of course work too but like go to iran please go to russia go to china go to turkey
00:45:03.780
they take everything for granted in this those same guys who are sitting in the locker room bashing
00:45:14.000
america have no problem taking a 10 million dollar check a year 15 million dollar check a year yet
00:45:19.340
you're a man who would have probably continued on making i don't know the end of your career five six
00:45:25.080
seven million dollars a year whatever you know you get after a veteran middle before a veteran
00:45:29.440
minimum that you gave up i mean that's real money and it's that's money that people don't make in a
00:45:34.240
lifetime like 99 of americans you know the day i started to criticize actually mba my agent called
00:45:41.760
me i was like listen man i vote for you i don't vote for an mb so i gotta be honest with you
00:45:45.200
if you say another word you're 29 years old you can play another like you know six seven years if you
00:45:52.460
take care of your body if you make another like five six seven million a year that's like what
00:45:57.360
six times what uh say like six million right that's 36 million that's literally 35 to 40 million
00:46:05.300
dollar so you're not only torn torn away your mba career you're literally throwing away 30 to 40
00:46:10.680
million dollars are you ready for it i hang up i never talk to him again because like they need to
00:46:17.120
understand while we are comfortably playing basketball in america on the other side of the
00:46:22.080
world man like people are losing their loved ones losing their lives and losing their homes
00:46:26.460
like i don't know if they're like looking at the news i don't know what come where where which
00:46:33.960
outlet they're getting their source at and stuff but like we are very lucky and blessed to to live
00:46:40.080
in a country like america you know i'm not saying america's perfect we only got a lot of things to
00:46:44.540
work too but like go to iran please go to russia go to china go to turkey and i promise you will
00:46:53.000
crawl back to america yeah people like i said they take everything for granted you had mentioned before
00:46:57.340
and the reason is and i'm convinced that there are certain people i talk to politicians on a daily
00:47:02.900
basis i talk to people in hollywood i talk to a lot of famous people and it i'm not bragging about
00:47:08.360
it it's just what the job that i do right it's my job to speak to them and i'm convinced that once
00:47:13.700
you hit a certain point it's not everybody but it's an overwhelming majority of people
00:47:16.920
your conscience and your soul and your heart goes out the window and nothing else matters it's all
00:47:22.820
about the money it's all about what's coming into your door you mentioned uh 40 principal owners
00:47:27.760
with 10 billion dollars uh invested here in america joe sai who's the owner of the brooklyn nets
00:47:33.980
five almost five billion dollars in alibaba went crazy when the gm of the rockets uh he wanted
00:47:39.480
him to be fired uh went crazy mickey arison uh 400 billion uh 400 million dollars in carnival the
00:47:45.560
owner of i think that the heat michael jordan almost 100 million dollars in nike uh it's ridiculous
00:47:52.000
now to put it in perspective and it's there's 30 nba teams right uh between 50 and 75 owners now
00:47:59.680
the math doesn't add up people are saying but that's because 15 or or more teams have more than
00:48:04.960
two owners on each team so 40 owners 10 teams about 50 to 75 percent i mean it's over 50 of the
00:48:14.300
people have ties to china so now you do and you probably didn't know this before you went in and
00:48:19.300
i don't think by the sounds of it it would have mattered to you you wouldn't have given a damn if
00:48:22.940
99 of it because you had something in mind you believed in something and you took it and you ran with
00:48:28.520
it because you were tired you couldn't sit back anymore and watch as america burned down as as people
00:48:34.360
burned down cities in america over the death of george floyd as as uh cops were targeted because
00:48:39.820
of colin kaepernick and then overseas nobody wants to talk about china and what they've done to the
00:48:44.940
uyghurs what they do to the people over there what they do the tibetans what they do the christians
00:48:48.980
what they do to the jews it's not just it's literally everybody across the board and jenny you know
00:48:54.560
what you're talking about 2020 nobody wants to talk about china unleashing covet on the world how about
00:49:01.020
that one a million americans millions across the world nobody cares and it's why no one cares about
00:49:07.260
the fentanyl no one cares about what cares about you know no no one cares about no it's so sad man
00:49:15.220
i mean now i i'm hearing from many politicians that they started to buy lands around i guess like
00:49:20.900
military bases in america like we gotta stop we gotta stop like bringing it because we i think
00:49:28.180
the americans know now but i feel like we need to start taking actions against this like
00:49:32.280
the horrible things that they've been doing to our country because they know they know
00:49:36.760
i'm trying to know that they're not strong enough to invade america from the outside but they're trying
00:49:41.800
to invade america from the inside by taking over a lot yeah and and nobody has anything to say about
00:49:49.620
it and you know it's not the chinese people they're not bad people and i reiterate this all the time
00:49:54.040
and it's it's not the chinese people it's the ccp and everything that that's bought and owned and
00:49:59.440
it's is the ccp it's not the chinese people i mean i feel bad for them just as i feel bad for
00:50:04.260
everybody who's stuck in that tyranny in china right now so it's not the chinese people it's the ccp
00:50:10.040
i want to make that clear i want to get to your book you've got a new book and it's coming out on
00:50:14.240
october 7th sort of an interesting day i want to get your take on why october 7th uh the new book
00:50:20.560
like i said you can pre-order it now amazon.com in the name of freedom a political dissidence fight
00:50:25.900
for human rights in the nba and around the world uh the link for the book will be in the bio of this
00:50:30.880
episode if you're joining us on rumble youtube it'll be in the description uh pre-order your copies now
00:50:35.780
uh and it's what made you write the book you know what made you come to it and why october 7th
00:50:42.320
the reason i wanted to you know put a book out there to to wait millions of people around the world
00:50:50.040
millions of kids around the world because you know when i started to learn the things that are
00:50:56.860
happening in um around the world middle east or everywhere i was like you know what many people
00:51:03.220
is being brainwashed especially the kids because of the propaganda that coming from these politicians
00:51:08.600
so this book talks about a kid who was from east side of turkey grown up anti-america anti-west anti-semitic
00:51:18.680
right and um and coming to america taking a big risk coming to america and starting a new life
00:51:26.820
here and started to learn about freedom democracy started to learn about why we have why why are we
00:51:37.800
blessed to be in a country like america and then this at the same time obviously it talks about a lot
00:51:42.920
dictatorships i mean if you look at the shoes um that i put that on the cover um you know this i mean
00:51:49.720
obviously the biggest one is the chinese government because what they're doing to the world um it talks
00:51:55.620
about you know how the chinese government is actually exposing the chinese government um how they
00:52:02.200
are trying to invade from the uh america from the inside by taking over many entities companies and
00:52:07.980
organizations and the the reason actually is october 7 obviously everybody knows what happened in october
00:52:15.980
7 and um i my heart was shattered that day um so i wanted to inspire millions of uh you know muslim kids
00:52:33.020
and tell him that you know whatever you hear on tiktok whatever you hear on the news whatever you
00:52:41.260
hear on i don't know some of these cropped media outlets it is not true we are all human first it
00:52:48.060
doesn't matter you're jewish you're christian you we are all human first so we need to leave our
00:52:52.860
difference on the table and trying to find what we have in common you know um so i think this book is
00:52:59.580
going to bring a lot of noise and it is going to expose um obviously mba first uh and many entities
00:53:06.700
and organizations in around the world actually um but i'm really excited about this book actually if
00:53:13.820
you go on amazon right now so many governments well so many dictatorships i will say that is attacking
00:53:20.300
this book and creating this false uh photo cover of the book and trying to uh trick people so they don't
00:53:29.020
buy this book so no we've been getting so much attack on many dictatorships out there but um you
00:53:35.740
know i think you know as an american obviously i put that i put that flag around my shoulder for a
00:53:43.900
reason you know coming here as a legal immigrant waiting for years to get my green card and take my
00:53:52.140
citizenship test to become an american i'm picking up on something here ennis exactly to to do the
00:53:59.420
right thing i think it is important to show every immigrant out there you know so no i'm very excited
00:54:05.020
about the this book man this is going to bring a lot of noise um so it's it actually talks about i'm
00:54:11.900
the only thing i mean the biggest thing i care about i really want this book to transition every literally
00:54:17.660
every language in middle east and i want kids in middle east to read about it you know because
00:54:23.020
many of many of them are growing up anti-american anti-west anti-semitic just because of those hate
00:54:28.460
speeches come from the government so i hope this book will change a lot while we're on here ennis i just
00:54:33.580
went ahead and folks i just placed my order uh so to show you guys that i'm not that i'm not just out
00:54:39.900
here talking about things that i don't believe in that's my order that i just placed while i was on here
00:54:45.500
with ennis um folks amazon.com in the name of freedom the political dissidents fight for human
00:54:50.860
rights in the nba and around the world and as i really hope the book does well um because you
00:54:56.060
deserve it i mean you've been through so much upside down you have a massive social media presence
00:55:01.260
which you deserve because there needs to be more people out uh in in the realm like you and there's
00:55:07.820
been a few jonathan isaac of the um uh orlando magic another one coming out recently but it's
00:55:15.260
but it's it's just crazy to me to think that there's still people who kiss the kiss the asses
00:55:20.620
of the ccp kairi irving there's so many players who wear this brand anta a chinese like don't even
00:55:27.260
get me started but this is f you to the american people this isn't just hey i'm wearing nike i'm wearing
00:55:32.300
adidas i'm wearing puma they're made in china but it's american company just as equally bad
00:55:37.500
these are people like kairi irving a very sick man i think probably the only basketball player
00:55:42.220
besides dream on green to have cte somehow uh who's out there marketing representing for the ccp this
00:55:49.900
isn't just nike this is you're out here marketing for the ccp what is the chinese people what does
00:55:56.140
the ccp do to these people that has him so entangled money oh it's all about money man
00:56:02.460
but doesn't it as a man who's made a lot of money in his life and it's that's exactly what i'm like
00:56:08.940
dude that's exactly what i'm talking about like like for example lebron right he literally just
00:56:13.980
became a billionaire his network is like 1.23 billion dollar like what else do you want that's
00:56:21.420
actually what i wanted like my voice is big is sure well i think about if players like lebron james
00:56:27.900
um i don't know like other nike athletes or whoever joined me i promise you this will create
00:56:35.100
like a huge movement and many things that we are talking about right now will come to an end because
00:56:42.620
of the pressure that they will you know get from these athletes like what else do you want you're a
00:56:47.500
billionaire you made hundreds of millions of dollars in your career and you are set for life you and your
00:56:53.580
your generations you know yeah i'm just confused man and like what else do you want how much money
00:57:01.340
do you want like is it not enough to stand up for the right things you know so you'd mention lebron
00:57:07.980
james i don't think you want a man lebron the the only thing i can think about when i hear lebron james
00:57:12.940
is a video of him on a facetime saying there ain't no party like a diddy party and we all know what
00:57:19.020
happened at the diddy party so i don't think you really want lebron on your side but i think you will
00:57:23.420
maybe start to get some people who come over to the right side and it's before we wrap up i'd be
00:57:28.300
remiss if we didn't talk a little bit about turkey this is where your journey all started
00:57:32.140
about a month ago uh president erdogan i don't even know if you call him president uh president
00:57:37.100
erdogan decided to jail his political opponent okay now in america just about a year ago maybe a little
00:57:44.460
bit over a year ago we went through a very similar process they tried to put a president and a leading
00:57:49.820
contender in jail for 700 years over paying off a porn star um they they in down in brazil they're
00:57:57.020
trying to kill the former president of brazil in venezuela you had a stolen election where the other
00:58:02.220
guy won and maduro tries to exile and get him the hell out of there in russia the same exact thing so
00:58:09.820
now this is all we're seeing this all across the spectrum but these are countries that aren't like
00:58:15.020
america these are corrupt countries but in america we saw the same thing happen do you think america
00:58:21.580
set a bad precedent for the world not that it would have changed what erdogan did to jail his political
00:58:27.340
opponent but do you think america set a bad precedent for the world when they decided to go after a former
00:58:32.540
president and political front runner ennis i promise you it's like a playbook that all the dictators that
00:58:38.060
follow you know that that was a that was a show on netflix it's called like the playbook of like
00:58:44.060
tyrannies or something like that i promise you there's like i feel like it's like a playbook and
00:58:47.980
every dictator is follow the same playbook and like these dictators know doesn't want any kind of like
00:58:55.180
opponents who can actually have enough charisma to get go against like for example turkey right
00:59:01.580
finally it's been like erdogan i think erdogan and kim jong-un is the only
00:59:06.940
leader that has not lost an election ever erdogan has not lost an election over 20 years
00:59:14.460
like election election exactly so so and finally there was a leader who is charismatic enough who
00:59:23.580
is like who can go against them who can actually like can bring the country together what he somehow
00:59:30.620
like so to be able to run for presidency you have to elect this this like a degree from a university
00:59:36.380
this dude calls the university and say you've got to cancel his degree and what they do boom
00:59:42.780
they cancel his degree and now he puts on this like bogus like corruption charges or whatever
00:59:49.740
put him in jail and and now he has like there's no one can go against it i feel like hitler did the
00:59:56.620
same thing you know jail his opponents and kill him or something whatever so like you see like
01:00:01.900
every dictatorship literally following the same playbook but i feel like america needs to
01:00:07.580
take a stronger stand because america when you look at the world it's like a america's an example
01:00:12.860
you know if if things are happening in america the other countries like well if it happens in america
01:00:18.220
we can do it we can do it we're allowed to do it then let's do it so that's why america
01:00:24.140
needs to set it and a good example for the world so people can follow what america is doing yeah and
01:00:31.820
i and i haven't even asked you about your politics because quite frankly i don't care
01:00:35.500
um you know you believe what you believe in you support who you support you're an american citizen
01:00:40.140
now congratulations um but i'm convinced and it's you don't have to agree with me you can in fact
01:00:45.740
disagree with me if you want because this is america and i'm not going to tell you that you can't
01:00:49.660
disagree with me right um that's the right you have as an american that's the right you're afforded
01:00:54.940
here um i'm convinced if donald trump didn't win this last election and it's we'd be going down a
01:01:00.620
hole that i think would be irreversible the wars i think that would sprout out over in the middle east
01:01:08.380
donald trump's keeping in line right now israel and iran i'm not entirely sure israel's i mean going
01:01:13.980
buck wild to bomb iran they want to bring america into it donald trump says we want no part of this
01:01:18.620
yeah as a matter of fact he had people in his administration and it's two weeks ago who said
01:01:22.860
let's let's pull the trigger let's blow up their nuclear sites donald trump said now these are
01:01:26.780
people and it's these iranian people that the ayatollah khamenei said he would turn america to ash
01:01:31.980
to nuclear ashes i think what his exact words are and donald trump said no i want to negotiate with
01:01:37.100
this guy i want to get a deal that'll be lasting for the world that'll ensure world safety and so i'm
01:01:42.860
convinced dennis if this man didn't win on november 5th that we'd be looking at a way different world
01:01:48.460
right now now people can say you know the economy this that give the guy some time but on the world
01:01:52.860
stage people don't realize everything that goes on behind the scenes and it's to ensure that america
01:01:58.540
and the world are safe no for sure man america was a laughing stack was stuck for the last one
01:02:04.060
whatever years but i feel like america is back on the right track now i feel like we just you know
01:02:10.540
i mean sending iran six billion dollars and and negotiating with terror i don't know anyway i don't
01:02:16.860
want to get too much politics but america wasn't out what was a laughing stock but but i think you
01:02:21.340
know america's back on right track and i mean i mean listen but it's all about the world peace man
01:02:27.100
i mean we got to do whatever we can to somehow just stop um these crazy people who literally wants to
01:02:36.460
blow up the entire uh the people who doesn't agree with them you know so i'm excited that's all i can
01:02:46.380
say america is back on right track there's a joke shoot first ask questions later donald trump's the
01:02:52.060
absolute opposite ask questions first and shoot later and i'm you know i'm glad to see that uh
01:02:56.860
i like diplomacy and it says a man who's come from a country who's involved in uh conflicts around the
01:03:02.540
world i you know all i was when i got into politics and all i was used to was let's blow this damn thing
01:03:08.540
up blow this thing up blow this thing up and then i've looked because donald trump came in in 2016 and
01:03:13.660
said we shouldn't have done this we shouldn't have done that and i look and i look at what america
01:03:18.300
america is no saint dennis i look at what we did to uh iraq i look at what we did to afghanistan i look
01:03:24.540
at what we did to syria and what do we have to show for it we overthrew governments we overthrew
01:03:29.900
everything over there we ruined their society those people have every right to hate the american people
01:03:34.860
okay what we did to their societies and it's not the american people like i said to you before it's not
01:03:39.340
the chinese people it's what our government it's what our senators a lot of them still sitting there
01:03:43.820
lindsey graham john bolton former uh ambassador these people all they want is war because it's
01:03:49.740
money it goes right back into their pockets what america has done on the world stage is despicable
01:03:54.780
and nobody would have known about it ennis if donald trump didn't bring it to the mainstream in 2016 and
01:04:00.060
say we should have never been in iraq we should have never been in afghanistan there's a right and a wrong
01:04:05.980
way go ahead no no i agree with you man like i said again it's all about the peace uh it's all
01:04:11.980
