Charlie Kirk Today | Liz Collin: January 6, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | January 6, 2026
- Brought to you in part by the
- 00:00:01.780 --> 00:00:03.482
- International fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:00:03.482 --> 00:00:15.661
- We have so much news that tim walz
- 00:00:16.428 --> 00:00:20.065
- Has yet to announce that he's not running for governor.
- 00:00:20.065 --> 00:00:24.336
- First governor brought down by a youtuber.
- 00:00:24.336 --> 00:00:27.005
- And apparently he is very upset this morning,
- 00:00:27.005 --> 00:00:30.576
- Held a press conference we have the u.n.
- 00:00:30.576 --> 00:00:33.445
- Is condemning, president trump's,
- 00:00:33.445 --> 00:00:36.148
- Who do not have against venezuela.
- 00:00:36.148 --> 00:00:39.785
- Yeah.
- 00:00:39.785 --> 00:00:40.819
- You have, somalia sort of leading the charge.
- 00:00:40.819 --> 00:00:43.055
- Yeah. this is an irony of these.
- 00:00:43.055 --> 00:00:45.524
- And, liberia was getting in on the action.
- 00:00:45.524 --> 00:00:48.393
- Pete hegseth initiated proceedings to demote us
- 00:00:48.393 --> 00:00:51.363
- Senator mark kelly, a retired captain, over his seditious
- 00:00:51.363 --> 00:00:55.434
- Six video telling soldiers to refuse illegal orders.
- 00:00:55.434 --> 00:00:58.437
- So all of that is happening and more.
- 00:00:58.437 --> 00:01:01.039
- But i do want to just sort of start
- 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.342
- Here, blake, at the at this baseline thing,
- 00:01:03.342 --> 00:01:06.612
- That this was an incredibly impressive
- 00:01:06.612 --> 00:01:09.681
- Precision attack where no u.s.
- 00:01:09.681 --> 00:01:12.417
- Troops were killed.
- 00:01:12.417 --> 00:01:13.752
- We had no military equipment that was lost.
- 00:01:13.752 --> 00:01:17.456
- One helicopter was shot,
- 00:01:17.456 --> 00:01:18.957
- But it it maintained, its fly ability,
- 00:01:18.957 --> 00:01:22.694
- And it seemed to be just executed at a level that,
- 00:01:22.694 --> 00:01:26.598
- No other nation perhaps could even match china
- 00:01:26.598 --> 00:01:29.868
- And russia probably looking on, going,
- 00:01:29.868 --> 00:01:31.270
- Yeah, i think, i think that's the that's the,
- 00:01:31.270 --> 00:01:33.705
- The immediate, most impressive thing you can remember in
- 00:01:33.705 --> 00:01:36.408
- 2022, russia did their attack on ukraine.
- 00:01:36.408 --> 00:01:39.578
- They also tried to go for
- 00:01:39.578 --> 00:01:41.880
- Not really a kidnaping but a decapitation strike.
- 00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:44.149
- They landed troops.
- 00:01:44.149 --> 00:01:45.484
- They landed troops in kiev.
- 00:01:45.484 --> 00:01:46.885
- It seemed their belief was and frankly,
- 00:01:46.885 --> 00:01:49.955
- The belief in the west also at the time was that
- 00:01:49.955 --> 00:01:52.658
- Ukraine would collapse quickly.
- 00:01:52.658 --> 00:01:54.259
- We apparently offered, to have zelensky flee
- 00:01:54.259 --> 00:01:57.229
- The country like we thought the whole thing would collapse.
- 00:01:57.229 --> 00:01:59.998
- In a matter of days.
- 00:02:00.465 --> 00:02:02.601
- And russia thought that as well,
- 00:02:02.601 --> 00:02:04.169
- And it didn't work out.
- 00:02:04.169 --> 00:02:06.171
- And there were almost four years later,
- 00:02:06.171 --> 00:02:08.140
- Hundreds of thousands dead.
- 00:02:08.140 --> 00:02:09.708
- And that's still ongoing.
- 00:02:09.708 --> 00:02:10.809
- So by comparison, successfully spiraling out maduro.
- 00:02:10.809 --> 00:02:15.113
- It's now coming out, to that last night, i believe
- 00:02:15.113 --> 00:02:18.650
- That he had this sort of cuban pretorian guard.
- 00:02:18.650 --> 00:02:22.421
- Yeah, apparently this was already
- 00:02:22.421 --> 00:02:24.256
- Apparently 30 plus cubans were killed in us capturing him.
- 00:02:24.256 --> 00:02:28.126
- So yeah.
- 00:02:28.126 --> 00:02:29.061
- So that is like the interesting part.
- 00:02:29.061 --> 00:02:30.662
- I mean, you had cuba.
- 00:02:30.662 --> 00:02:31.997
- Venezuela turned into essentially a playground
- 00:02:31.997 --> 00:02:34.933
- For all the world's worst actors, right?
- 00:02:34.933 --> 00:02:37.669
- China, iran, cuba,
- 00:02:37.669 --> 00:02:40.706
- Russia, they were all trying to get access
- 00:02:40.706 --> 00:02:44.409
- To the mineral riches that exist within venezuela.
- 00:02:44.409 --> 00:02:48.080
- And it's fascinating to watch the left wing
- 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.616
- Reaction to it, where everybody seems to be very upset
- 00:02:50.616 --> 00:02:54.553
- That america is going in, that trump is being honest,
- 00:02:54.553 --> 00:02:56.755
- That we're going to control, we're going to the oil fields
- 00:02:56.755 --> 00:02:59.024
- That were expropriated from american oil companies,
- 00:02:59.024 --> 00:03:01.560
- Back when hugo chavez took over,
- 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.662
- That we're going to take those back
- 00:03:03.662 --> 00:03:05.097
- And that we are going to share
- 00:03:05.097 --> 00:03:06.798
- The revenues with the people of venezuela.
- 00:03:06.798 --> 00:03:08.900
- But americans are going to get their recompense.
- 00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:11.103
- So it people are upset about that.
- 00:03:11.103 --> 00:03:13.905
- But i actually
- 00:03:13.905 --> 00:03:14.973
- I've been thinking about this all weekend long.
- 00:03:14.973 --> 00:03:17.709
- And the fact that we are asserting dominance
- 00:03:17.709 --> 00:03:20.879
- In the western hemisphere,
- 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:22.681
- It feels like a return to sanity from years
- 00:03:22.681 --> 00:03:26.351
- Of foreign adventurism in iraq, afghanistan, other places
- 00:03:26.351 --> 00:03:30.289
- That have been catastrophic, that have been terrible
- 00:03:30.289 --> 00:03:32.958
- For our country, terrible for our, coffers
- 00:03:32.958 --> 00:03:36.128
- Cost us blood and soil and and, and lives.
- 00:03:36.128 --> 00:03:39.865
- And so this but this does feel different.
- 00:03:39.865 --> 00:03:41.600
- It's, you know, people don't realize how close venezuela.
- 00:03:41.600 --> 00:03:44.369
- Hold on. i mean, it's in the western hemisphere.
- 00:03:44.369 --> 00:03:46.738
- They don't realize how close it is to miami.
- 00:03:46.738 --> 00:03:48.940
- It's like a two hour flight to miami from caracas.
- 00:03:48.940 --> 00:03:52.277
- And, you know, if you if venezuela fell into
- 00:03:52.277 --> 00:03:55.747
- Control of foreign agitators like china,
- 00:03:55.747 --> 00:03:59.184
- Which china was there
- 00:03:59.184 --> 00:04:00.419
- Visiting the day it happened and the day before it happened.
- 00:04:00.419 --> 00:04:03.655
- So it does feel like the then question
- 00:04:03.655 --> 00:04:07.192
- Is, how do you sell this to the american people
- 00:04:07.192 --> 00:04:08.960
- When they're struggling to afford gas and groceries?
- 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:10.796
- Right.
- 00:04:10.796 --> 00:04:11.630
- That that is a fair question to ask.
- 00:04:11.630 --> 00:04:14.032
- And, i mean,
- 00:04:14.032 --> 00:04:15.267
- People do need to understand that when you control
- 00:04:15.267 --> 00:04:17.836
- Oil resources, mineral resources, energy resources
- 00:04:17.836 --> 00:04:20.906
- Within a western hemisphere, that will ultimately
- 00:04:20.906 --> 00:04:23.742
- Make america safer, more secure place.
- 00:04:23.742 --> 00:04:26.144
- But the question then becomes, we are running venezuela.
- 00:04:26.144 --> 00:04:29.781
- That is it.
- 00:04:30.115 --> 00:04:30.949
- Or at least in theory we are.
- 00:04:30.949 --> 00:04:32.984
- And that is going to that's going to be a tough pill
- 00:04:32.984 --> 00:04:36.254
- To swallow for the america first crowd.
- 00:04:36.254 --> 00:04:38.090
- Well, well, again, i think right now the vibe is very good
- 00:04:38.090 --> 00:04:42.828
- And the vibe is very good because it was easy.
- 00:04:42.828 --> 00:04:46.631
- There were no losses.
- 00:04:46.631 --> 00:04:47.733
- They got their guy, they got out.
- 00:04:47.733 --> 00:04:49.935
- Everything looks extremely smooth,
- 00:04:49.935 --> 00:04:51.436
- Especially in comparison to russia's own failed
- 00:04:51.436 --> 00:04:54.406
- Military ops, especially compared
- 00:04:54.406 --> 00:04:55.907
- To our failed endeavors in the middle east.
- 00:04:55.907 --> 00:04:58.610
- This is clearly better,
- 00:04:58.610 --> 00:05:00.078
- But our endeavors in the middle east looked better early on.
- 00:05:00.078 --> 00:05:04.316
- When we took down the taliban.
- 00:05:04.316 --> 00:05:05.884
- They crumbled in a matter of weeks,
- 00:05:05.884 --> 00:05:08.086
- And we took over the whole country.
- 00:05:08.086 --> 00:05:09.621
- And then it was the following 20 years where everything went
- 00:05:09.621 --> 00:05:13.125
- Horribly wrong.
- 00:05:13.125 --> 00:05:14.493
- And venezuela, it's a big country.
- 00:05:14.493 --> 00:05:17.229
- It's got 30 million before, i think 40 million people,
- 00:05:17.229 --> 00:05:19.998
- 8 million people have left.
- 00:05:19.998 --> 00:05:21.266
- And so i we'll say unknown number of people then,
- 00:05:21.266 --> 00:05:25.237
- A lot of people,
- 00:05:25.237 --> 00:05:26.671
- A lot of it is rainforest, a lot of it is mountain.
- 00:05:26.671 --> 00:05:30.142
- A lot of it is urban hellscape, not well controlled.
- 00:05:30.142 --> 00:05:32.978
- It's not a super it's not like taking over japan or something
- 00:05:32.978 --> 00:05:37.315
- Where it's a pretty orderly society.
- 00:05:37.315 --> 00:05:39.418
- It's a chaotic society.
- 00:05:39.418 --> 00:05:40.585
- It has
- 00:05:40.585 --> 00:05:41.787
- Some of the highest murder rates in the world some years
- 00:05:41.787 --> 00:05:44.256
- And it will be, especially when it's super easy early on.
- 00:05:44.256 --> 00:05:49.027
- You have to worry about that temptation
- 00:05:49.027 --> 00:05:50.729
- To get more invested.
- 00:05:50.729 --> 00:05:52.230
- Oh, if we you know, if we put 2000 troops here,
- 00:05:52.230 --> 00:05:54.833
- It'll be okay.
- 00:05:54.833 --> 00:05:55.934
- If we had a few more, we can get this under control.
- 00:05:55.934 --> 00:05:58.236
- You're going to have to resist that temptation
- 00:05:58.236 --> 00:06:00.839
- To get too involved, either in monetary terms
- 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.009
- Or in military investment terms.
- 00:06:04.009 --> 00:06:07.546
- And so i think we'll have to watch out for that.
- 00:06:07.546 --> 00:06:09.080
- You also have to make sure you don't,
- 00:06:09.080 --> 00:06:11.817
- In my opinion, over learn from how easy it is.
- 00:06:11.817 --> 00:06:14.186
- So you seen some takes okay.
- 00:06:14.186 --> 00:06:16.521
- Well is cuba, next is mexico.
- 00:06:16.521 --> 00:06:18.824
- Next is colombia. next.
- 00:06:18.824 --> 00:06:20.358
- Should we just forcibly seize greenland?
- 00:06:20.358 --> 00:06:23.762
- I would say make sure venezuela is actually
- 00:06:23.762 --> 00:06:27.432
- A success before you start looking for new things to do.
- 00:06:27.432 --> 00:06:31.169
- And you know, we were talking during the break that,
- 00:06:31.169 --> 00:06:34.406
- After afghanistan and after the initial iraq
- 00:06:34.406 --> 00:06:37.742
- Take over as well.
- 00:06:37.742 --> 00:06:39.010
- There was a lot of arrogance that, oh,
- 00:06:39.010 --> 00:06:40.579
- We can remake the middle east to our will.
- 00:06:40.579 --> 00:06:42.380
- Max boot, i think he's still had the washington post,
- 00:06:42.380 --> 00:06:45.750
- But he was he was this neocon guy.
- 00:06:45.750 --> 00:06:47.486
- And you can find his essays from that period
- 00:06:47.486 --> 00:06:49.521
- Where he's saying, yeah, we could topple syria,
- 00:06:49.521 --> 00:06:52.491
- We could topple iran, we could topple saudi arabia.
- 00:06:52.491 --> 00:06:56.094
- He actually goes a little mad with power
- 00:06:56.094 --> 00:06:58.330
- About all the countries that we could take out with our
- 00:06:58.330 --> 00:07:00.899
- Unlimited military might.
- 00:07:00.899 --> 00:07:02.734
- I would always say, calm down.
- 00:07:03.335 --> 00:07:05.604
- Remember what is truly america first and what is most america
- 00:07:05.604 --> 00:07:08.840
- First is not getting us involved in foreign quagmires.
- 00:07:08.840 --> 00:07:13.011
- As long as this is not a foreign quagmire, that's great.
- 00:07:13.011 --> 00:07:16.548
- It's great if we are able to turn
- 00:07:16.548 --> 00:07:18.483
- An extremely anti-american regime in our backyard
- 00:07:18.483 --> 00:07:21.653
- Into a pro american regime in our backyard at minimal cost.
- 00:07:21.653 --> 00:07:25.891
- If it's true that this is a fragile regime,
- 00:07:25.891 --> 00:07:28.326
- You take out the top guy and you can use your blockade
- 00:07:28.326 --> 00:07:32.030
- To pressure them into something much more friendly.
- 00:07:32.030 --> 00:07:34.432
- That is good.
- 00:07:34.432 --> 00:07:35.634
- But be careful, because there will people.
- 00:07:35.634 --> 00:07:38.370
- There will be people
- 00:07:38.370 --> 00:07:39.671
- Who try to sell us on a much bigger involvement,
- 00:07:39.671 --> 00:07:42.707
- A much more expensive intervention.
- 00:07:42.707 --> 00:07:45.143
- And if we get into that, it's harder to get out
- 00:07:45.143 --> 00:07:47.579
- Than it is to get in.
- 00:07:47.579 --> 00:07:48.847
- And that's where you get the potential
- 00:07:48.847 --> 00:07:50.749
- For negative effects for america.
- 00:07:50.749 --> 00:07:52.317
- And let's be frank, negative effects politically.
- 00:07:52.317 --> 00:07:54.953
- If this is a big win a year from now, it helps.
- 00:07:54.953 --> 00:07:56.922
- The trump administration helps us in the midterms.
- 00:07:56.922 --> 00:07:59.491
- But if this is if this has become a conflict where u.s.
- 00:07:59.491 --> 00:08:02.460
- Troops are getting killed, where there's
- 00:08:02.460 --> 00:08:04.729
- No obvious way out, then it's going to be bad.
- 00:08:04.729 --> 00:08:11.536
- The wounds from
- 00:08:11.903 --> 00:08:12.904
- October 7th didn't fade when the headlines did.
- 00:08:12.904 --> 00:08:16.041
- Behind me rises
- 00:08:16.408 --> 00:08:17.609
- A new rehabilitation home for israel's wounded soldiers.
- 00:08:17.609 --> 00:08:21.279
- One of many urgent projects israel needs right now.
- 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:25.016
- Entire communities shattered.
- 00:08:25.650 --> 00:08:27.752
- Families displaced.
- 00:08:27.752 --> 00:08:29.487
- And each day,
- 00:08:29.487 --> 00:08:30.589
- The impact of the need grows even more overwhelming.
- 00:08:30.589 --> 00:08:34.559
- But the bible says it clearly.
- 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.828
- The righteous will live by faith and by faith.
- 00:08:36.828 --> 00:08:40.999
- The fellowship is rolling up our sleeves
- 00:08:40.999 --> 00:08:42.767
- And stepping into this immense challenge.
- 00:08:42.767 --> 00:08:45.303
- Helping mothers who don't know where to begin again.
- 00:08:45.303 --> 00:08:47.872
- Standing with paralyzed heroes.
- 00:08:47.872 --> 00:08:49.708
- Fighting to take their first steps.
- 00:08:49.708 --> 00:08:51.910
- Building centers of healing for the wounded
- 00:08:51.910 --> 00:08:54.346
- And the traumatized.
- 00:08:54.346 --> 00:08:55.914
- Bringing food and comfort to elderly israelis
- 00:08:55.914 --> 00:08:58.917
- Who have no one else to care for them.
- 00:08:58.917 --> 00:09:02.120
- To see the life saving work of the fellowship.
- 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.156
- Unfolding across israel right now.
- 00:09:05.156 --> 00:09:08.126
- Visit ifc's dawg.
- 00:09:08.126 --> 00:09:10.998
- Visit ifc's dawg.
- 00:09:10.998 --> 00:09:16.768
- This is what makes, i think, a lot of people nervous.
- 00:09:17.836 --> 00:09:19.804
- You got lindsey graham.
- 00:09:19.804 --> 00:09:21.373
- We're grabbing the clip here.
- 00:09:21.373 --> 00:09:22.407
- You just wait for cuba.
- 00:09:22.407 --> 00:09:24.142
- He says cuba is a communist
- 00:09:24.142 --> 00:09:25.677
- Dictatorship that's killed priests and nuns.
- 00:09:25.677 --> 00:09:27.746
- They've preyed on their own people.
- 00:09:27.746 --> 00:09:28.980
- Their days are numbered.
- 00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:31.016
- So now we now we are talking big, talking big game.
- 00:09:31.016 --> 00:09:35.253
- Lindsey graham
- 00:09:35.253 --> 00:09:36.454
- At it again, neocon of neocons licking his chops at another
- 00:09:36.454 --> 00:09:40.225
- Possible invasion.
- 00:09:40.225 --> 00:09:40.925
- By the way,
- 00:09:40.925 --> 00:09:42.093
- He's flanked by president trump and commerce secretary
- 00:09:42.093 --> 00:09:44.963
- Nick while he's saying this in a press gaggle.
- 00:09:44.963 --> 00:09:47.532
- So that's not a good sign.
- 00:09:47.532 --> 00:09:50.101
- But, you know, and you got president trump
- 00:09:50.101 --> 00:09:51.803
- Talking about colombia, saying he needs to watch his backside
- 00:09:51.803 --> 00:09:55.240
- To say it in a nice. yeah.
- 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:56.241
- How is in colombia.
- 00:09:56.241 --> 00:09:57.842
- So there are questions here.
- 00:09:57.842 --> 00:09:59.878
- But certainly and we need to i think it's listen
- 00:09:59.878 --> 00:10:03.648
- It's important to be skeptical because this stuff
- 00:10:03.648 --> 00:10:06.451
- Tends to spiral out of control
- 00:10:06.451 --> 00:10:09.421
- If this can be done in a clean way.
- 00:10:09.421 --> 00:10:12.957
- This is one of the things that i'm encouraged by
- 00:10:12.957 --> 00:10:15.427
- Is the fact that you have the venezuelan diaspora,
- 00:10:15.427 --> 00:10:17.929
- Whether that's in new york city or florida or argentina.
- 00:10:17.929 --> 00:10:22.133
- These people are taking to the streets
- 00:10:22.133 --> 00:10:23.535
- By the tens and tens of thousands. celebrate,
- 00:10:23.535 --> 00:10:26.037
- The fall of nicolas maduro, who was a bad guy
- 00:10:27.005 --> 00:10:29.574
- And who stole the election, who has militarized,
- 00:10:29.574 --> 00:10:32.644
- The military, which is but against the people of
- 00:10:32.644 --> 00:10:36.314
- Venezuela.
- 00:10:36.314 --> 00:10:37.382
- The extreme poverty rate in venezuela is over 50%.
- 00:10:37.382 --> 00:10:41.486
- Their oil production has fallen off a cliff.
- 00:10:41.486 --> 00:10:43.922
- Their inflation has been through the roof.
- 00:10:43.922 --> 00:10:45.724
- People can't afford jobs.
- 00:10:45.724 --> 00:10:46.891
- They're eating cats and dogs, literally in the street.
- 00:10:46.891 --> 00:10:49.494
- And so this this was a dictatorship
- 00:10:49.494 --> 00:10:52.630
- That held on to power.
- 00:10:52.630 --> 00:10:54.399
- And as andy biggs described it, he is a head of a cartel.
- 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.870
- Essentially, it's a thug, based sort of boss style
- 00:10:58.870 --> 00:11:03.675
- Mafioso.
- 00:11:03.675 --> 00:11:04.309
- Mafioso, tactic
- 00:11:04.309 --> 00:11:06.144
- To maintain control of the, the country of venezuela.
- 00:11:06.144 --> 00:11:09.814
- It's a good thing that maduro is gone.
- 00:11:09.814 --> 00:11:12.016
- But what's interesting here
- 00:11:12.016 --> 00:11:13.351
- Is that you have all these clips now
- 00:11:13.351 --> 00:11:16.054
- Coming out from democrats who before we're talking
- 00:11:16.054 --> 00:11:18.623
- Tough on venezuela.
- 00:11:18.623 --> 00:11:19.691
- But now that maduro has gone
- 00:11:19.691 --> 00:11:20.959
- At the hands of trump, it's suddenly a bad thing, right?
- 00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:23.762
- So let's play.
- 00:11:23.762 --> 00:11:24.896
- 154 this is democrat chris murphy doing exactly that.
- 00:11:24.896 --> 00:11:27.398
- 2019.
- 00:11:27.632 --> 00:11:28.833
- You wrote an op ed and you called for maduro to be gone.
- 00:11:28.833 --> 00:11:32.604
- You said, let's get one thing straight.
- 00:11:32.604 --> 00:11:34.005
- There should no longer be any debate about maduro's
- 00:11:34.005 --> 00:11:36.374
- Lack of democratic legitimacy, legitimacy.
- 00:11:36.374 --> 00:11:39.144
- The trump administration is right to put restoring
- 00:11:39.144 --> 00:11:42.080
- Venezuelan democracy
- 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:43.348
- At the center of our approach to this crisis,
- 00:11:43.348 --> 00:11:45.617
- A return to a stable
- 00:11:45.617 --> 00:11:46.951
- Democracy is in the interest of the venezuelan people
- 00:11:46.951 --> 00:11:50.121
- And the united states and the hemisphere.
- 00:11:50.121 --> 00:11:54.125
- We don't know what's going to happen with regard
- 00:11:55.126 --> 00:11:56.861
- To the civilian leadership there.
- 00:11:56.861 --> 00:11:59.164
- Tom cotton, which is here
- 00:11:59.164 --> 00:12:00.365
- Saying that he hopes that there are democratic elections.
- 00:12:00.365 --> 00:12:02.901
- Isn't that what you want?
- 00:12:02.901 --> 00:12:04.202
- Well, the rest of that article
- 00:12:04.202 --> 00:12:06.538
- Was a criticism of, president trump's,
- 00:12:06.538 --> 00:12:09.674
- Early moves to saber rattle around regime change.
- 00:12:09.674 --> 00:12:13.678
- And not only that, but in, joe biden put a $25
- 00:12:13.678 --> 00:12:16.881
- Million bounty on nicolas maduro's head.
- 00:12:16.881 --> 00:12:20.385
- So this is joe biden, $25 million.
- 00:12:21.119 --> 00:12:23.621
- And now you have democrat after democrat after democrat.
- 00:12:23.621 --> 00:12:26.457
- That is in it. chuck schumer's guilty of this.
- 00:12:26.457 --> 00:12:28.626
- Hakeem jeffries, chris murphy, many that are now
- 00:12:28.626 --> 00:12:31.763
- Going back on that saying this is bad.
- 00:12:31.763 --> 00:12:34.833
- Yeah, obviously they're going to be hypocrites.
- 00:12:34.833 --> 00:12:37.068
- There's going to be that's just inevitable with congress.
- 00:12:37.068 --> 00:12:39.170
- I feel people that's let's turn to you though.
- 00:12:39.170 --> 00:12:41.339
- It's it's less interesting.
- 00:12:41.339 --> 00:12:42.273
- Oh we should focus in my opinion,
- 00:12:42.273 --> 00:12:44.943
- If it won't matter if democrats are hypocrites,
- 00:12:44.943 --> 00:12:47.278
- If this is a win for us,
- 00:12:47.278 --> 00:12:48.479
- Because the win will overshadow whatever dumb stuff they do.
- 00:12:48.479 --> 00:12:51.349
- And if this is a disaster for us,
- 00:12:51.349 --> 00:12:52.817
- The fact that they were hypocrites
- 00:12:52.817 --> 00:12:53.885
- Is definitely not going to bail us out from that.
- 00:12:53.885 --> 00:12:56.487
- So the number one focus always is make sure that
- 00:12:56.487 --> 00:13:00.358
- This intervention is not damaging to america.
- 00:13:00.358 --> 00:13:03.928
- Make sure we achieve the america first goal.
- 00:13:03.928 --> 00:13:06.331
- That has to be the number one focus,
- 00:13:06.331 --> 00:13:08.099
- Not winning any social media fight.
- 00:13:08.099 --> 00:13:10.435
- Yeah, let's just talk about this to nicolas.
- 00:13:10.435 --> 00:13:13.771
- Maduro was given multiple off ramps, and he followed 135.
- 00:13:13.771 --> 00:13:20.745
- Nicolas maduro had his chance.
- 00:13:20.745 --> 00:13:24.015
- Just like iran had their chance.
- 00:13:24.015 --> 00:13:26.117
- Until they didn't.
- 00:13:26.551 --> 00:13:27.485
- And until he didn't.
- 00:13:27.485 --> 00:13:29.354
- He asked around and he found out
- 00:13:29.354 --> 00:13:32.257
- President trump is deadly serious about
- 00:13:33.124 --> 00:13:35.526
- Stopping the flow of gangs and violence to our country,
- 00:13:35.526 --> 00:13:38.997
- Deadly serious about stopping
- 00:13:38.997 --> 00:13:41.165
- The flow of drugs and poison to our people, deadly
- 00:13:41.165 --> 00:13:44.769
- Serious about getting back the oil that was stolen from us
- 00:13:44.769 --> 00:13:48.873
- And deadly serious about reestablishing american
- 00:13:48.873 --> 00:13:51.609
- Deterrence and dominance in the western hemisphere.
- 00:13:51.609 --> 00:13:55.280
- This is about the safety, security,
- 00:13:55.280 --> 00:13:58.049
- Freedom and prosperity of the american people.
- 00:13:58.049 --> 00:14:01.786
- Yeah. it is.
- 00:14:01.786 --> 00:14:04.455
- I think the biggest challenge
- 00:14:04.455 --> 00:14:06.457
- Is going to be communicating why this is good for america.
- 00:14:06.457 --> 00:14:09.694
- It'll be interesting to see this way
- 00:14:09.694 --> 00:14:10.895
- The way this plays out. certainly.
- 00:14:10.895 --> 00:14:12.730
- Hopefully the saner voices prevail
- 00:14:12.730 --> 00:14:16.834
- And we don't expand this too much.
- 00:14:16.834 --> 00:14:19.337
- But again,
- 00:14:19.337 --> 00:14:20.471
- I think i agree with what something jonathan turley
- 00:14:20.471 --> 00:14:22.440
- Actually wrote
- 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:23.374
- That whether we said it out
- 00:14:23.374 --> 00:14:24.509
- Loud that we were going to be running venezuela or not,
- 00:14:24.509 --> 00:14:27.178
- The truth was we were going to be running venezuela.
- 00:14:27.178 --> 00:14:28.947
- After you do a mission like this,
- 00:14:28.947 --> 00:14:30.682
- You got to see it through and you got to make
- 00:14:30.682 --> 00:14:32.216
- Sure the transition happens, which is a big if.
- 00:14:32.216 --> 00:14:34.886
- It's a big if, we'll be right back.
- 00:14:34.886 --> 00:14:41.326
- Where are
- 00:14:41.626 --> 00:14:42.894
- The tears from the pain.
- 00:14:42.894 --> 00:14:45.229
- The life that she lived.
- 00:14:45.229 --> 00:14:47.365
- She's a survivor of auschwitz.
- 00:14:47.365 --> 00:14:50.802
- The years that they would just beat her ears.
- 00:14:50.802 --> 00:14:53.571
- That she didn't have food and felt hungry.
- 00:14:53.571 --> 00:14:56.874
- And our answer is love.
- 00:14:57.375 --> 00:15:00.611
- Before, with a gift of only $25.
- 00:15:00.611 --> 00:15:03.815
- You'll deliver a life saving food box into the hands
- 00:15:03.815 --> 00:15:06.985
- Of an elderly jew in need.
- 00:15:06.985 --> 00:15:09.721
- I wasn't only saying people have a heart.
- 00:15:09.721 --> 00:15:12.724
- There are good people today.

- And jews will rush your food box today saudi arabia.

- This is a holy moment.
- 00:15:23.568 --> 00:15:25.336
- What you're doing is not simply being kind.
- 00:15:25.336 --> 00:15:28.740
- You are prophetically stepping into the scriptures
- 00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:32.577
- And being part of their redemption and our own.
- 00:15:32.577 --> 00:15:36.080

- From the state of minnesota
- 00:15:47.459 --> 00:15:48.961
- And one of the most important journalists in the country,
- 00:15:48.961 --> 00:15:50.963
- She did the fall mini a-plus, which is truly important,
- 00:15:50.963 --> 00:15:55.167
- Following, the george floyd riots.
- 00:15:55.167 --> 00:15:57.503
- And she's a senior reporter from alpha news.

- I know blake, and you were talking about back and forth.

- You. but you're in high demand lately on the somalia,

- That we were also going to be welcomed by the news.

- 00:16:38.177 --> 00:16:39.378
- You guys, these last few weeks, been a bit of a whirlwind
- 00:16:39.378 --> 00:16:41.513
- In minnesota.
- 00:16:41.513 --> 00:16:42.614
- You can certainly say that, with news and politics,
- 00:16:42.614 --> 00:16:46.218
- No doubt, governor tim walz making it official, actually
- 00:16:46.218 --> 00:16:49.888
- Just about an hour ago here
- 00:16:49.888 --> 00:16:51.924
- That he will not seek reelection to a third term
- 00:16:51.924 --> 00:16:55.094
- As governor. there have been,
- 00:16:55.094 --> 00:16:56.862
- Many political scandals on his watch.
- 00:16:56.862 --> 00:16:59.431
- We've been detailing all of them.
- 00:16:59.431 --> 00:17:00.899
- But this billion dollar
- 00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:02.301
- Fraud scheme seemed to be the last straw.
- 00:17:02.301 --> 00:17:04.937
- In his case, $9 billion in all and counting.
- 00:17:04.937 --> 00:17:09.041
- We now have multiple
- 00:17:09.041 --> 00:17:10.275
- Federal investigations going on here in minnesota.
- 00:17:10.275 --> 00:17:14.146
- And yet, compared to mainstream media,
- 00:17:14.146 --> 00:17:15.981
- I think we've been one of the very few is
- 00:17:15.981 --> 00:17:18.083
- Certainly the most prominent,
- 00:17:18.083 --> 00:17:19.451
- In the state of minnesota criticizing the governor.
- 00:17:19.451 --> 00:17:22.454
- We have been for several years with our exclusive reporting,
- 00:17:22.454 --> 00:17:25.757
- But we even showed up at that press conference today,
- 00:17:25.757 --> 00:17:28.093
- Our photojournalist, which it's really difficult
- 00:17:28.093 --> 00:17:30.929
- To even call it a press conference, you guys.
- 00:17:30.929 --> 00:17:32.397
- But governor walz took no questions at all.
- 00:17:32.397 --> 00:17:34.566
- Alpha news tried to get into the room,
- 00:17:34.566 --> 00:17:36.435
- But we were told we were not on the list.
- 00:17:36.435 --> 00:17:39.471
- So we could not, the governor.
- 00:17:39.471 --> 00:17:41.607
- It's been years now since they've even responded
- 00:17:41.607 --> 00:17:43.942
- To our requests for comment on any, story.
- 00:17:43.942 --> 00:17:47.012
- But really, just a bizarre situation.
- 00:17:47.012 --> 00:17:49.314
- If any of your your viewers
- 00:17:49.314 --> 00:17:50.582
- Were seeing this, at all play out, on x,
- 00:17:50.582 --> 00:17:53.952
- You have, walls coming off, i think, quite angry.
- 00:17:53.952 --> 00:17:56.722
- I think that's fair to say.
- 00:17:56.722 --> 00:17:57.956
- He talked about
- 00:17:57.956 --> 00:17:59.091
- How he was supposedly fighting fraud for his last
- 00:17:59.091 --> 00:18:01.426
- Seven years in office, which came off
- 00:18:01.426 --> 00:18:03.495
- As a bit of a surprise to any of us paying attention,
- 00:18:03.495 --> 00:18:06.231
- Basically blaming, republicans and president trump,
- 00:18:06.231 --> 00:18:09.535
- For all of this, referring to, nick shirley's viral video,
- 00:18:09.535 --> 00:18:13.672
- Which got an awful lot of attention,
- 00:18:13.672 --> 00:18:15.541
- Called that a right wing youtuber.
- 00:18:15.541 --> 00:18:17.843
- And, nick shirley was breaking into daycares.
- 00:18:17.843 --> 00:18:21.180
- We have that clip.
- 00:18:21.180 --> 00:18:22.314
- We have that clip. let's, let's play it real quick.
- 00:18:22.314 --> 00:18:24.082
- Let's play, 179 we've got conspiracy theorist
- 00:18:24.082 --> 00:18:28.253
- Right wing youtubers breaking into our daycares,
- 00:18:28.253 --> 00:18:31.924
- Demanding access to our children.
- 00:18:31.924 --> 00:18:34.693
- We've got the president of
- 00:18:35.260 --> 00:18:36.528
- The united states demonizing our somali neighbors
- 00:18:36.528 --> 00:18:40.365
- And wrongfully confiscating funds that minnesotans rely on.
- 00:18:40.365 --> 00:18:44.803
- It's disgusting, and it's dangerous.
- 00:18:44.803 --> 00:18:47.406
- Now, what comes to mind for me,
- 00:18:47.406 --> 00:18:48.774
- Liz, is he can talk a big game there.
- 00:18:48.774 --> 00:18:50.709
- He can say that.
- 00:18:50.709 --> 00:18:51.476
- Yet i feel like
- 00:18:51.476 --> 00:18:52.611
- Nothing confirms all of the theories and allegations
- 00:18:52.611 --> 00:18:56.615
- Going on in minnesota, more than the fact
- 00:18:56.615 --> 00:18:59.952
- Governor walz realizes i can't fix this in the 11
- 00:18:59.952 --> 00:19:04.022
- And in the ten months till the next election,
- 00:19:04.022 --> 00:19:06.625
- I have to drop out to give us a shot in this race.
- 00:19:06.625 --> 00:19:10.495
- That seems like the greatest confirmation
- 00:19:10.495 --> 00:19:11.997
- Of all that there's a gigantic, scandal here.
- 00:19:11.997 --> 00:19:15.267
- Correct?
- 00:19:15.267 --> 00:19:17.302
- Yeah.
- 00:19:17.302 --> 00:19:18.437
- I mean, i think blake pretty wasn't paying attention.
- 00:19:18.437 --> 00:19:19.504
- It certainly seems that that way
- 00:19:19.504 --> 00:19:21.440
- But you have some interesting
- 00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:22.374
- Maneuvering happening behind the scenes.
- 00:19:22.374 --> 00:19:24.409
- And this is something we've been monitoring for months now.
- 00:19:24.409 --> 00:19:27.112
- Even when, governor walz announced in september
- 00:19:27.112 --> 00:19:30.449
- That he would run
- 00:19:30.449 --> 00:19:31.316
- For reelection for a third term,
- 00:19:31.316 --> 00:19:33.285
- Many were very surprised by that.
- 00:19:33.285 --> 00:19:35.153
- With all of the baggage, that that he carries, in the state.
- 00:19:35.153 --> 00:19:39.858
- But now it seems
- 00:19:39.858 --> 00:19:40.926
- That it's, seems to be more and more truthful now.
- 00:19:40.926 --> 00:19:44.396
- And this is something we were hearing months ago
- 00:19:44.396 --> 00:19:46.031
- That senator amy klobuchar
- 00:19:46.031 --> 00:19:47.566
- Will, in fact, be running for, minnesota governor.
- 00:19:47.566 --> 00:19:50.936
- And then you have perhaps some backroom dealing going on
- 00:19:50.936 --> 00:19:54.172
- That walz would then be appointed to her senate seat,
- 00:19:54.172 --> 00:19:58.277
- Because she is not up for reelection until 2031.
- 00:19:58.277 --> 00:20:02.948
- So there would be a special election in 28,
- 00:20:02.948 --> 00:20:05.150
- But walz would have some sort of swap out.
- 00:20:05.150 --> 00:20:07.386
- And until then, this is all just sort of speculative
- 00:20:07.386 --> 00:20:10.589
- At this point.
- 00:20:10.589 --> 00:20:11.423
- But but, many of these democrats,
- 00:20:11.423 --> 00:20:14.293
- One could say that, you
- 00:20:14.293 --> 00:20:15.527
- Know, fraud has been happening
- 00:20:15.527 --> 00:20:16.695
- On the watch of many democrats, here in minnesota.
- 00:20:16.695 --> 00:20:19.531
- It's been 20 years now, since, there was a statewide
- 00:20:19.531 --> 00:20:23.168
- Office held by a republican in minnesota.
- 00:20:23.168 --> 00:20:26.138
- But they've been all very quiet.
- 00:20:26.138 --> 00:20:27.739
- You do not see anybody really going to bat,
- 00:20:27.739 --> 00:20:29.841
- If you will, for governor walz for these many
- 00:20:29.841 --> 00:20:32.778
- Weeks and months.
- 00:20:32.778 --> 00:20:33.912
- And sometimes, you know that silence.
- 00:20:33.912 --> 00:20:35.814
- Speaks louder than than anything else.
- 00:20:35.814 --> 00:20:38.717
- It seems like this fraud has it's you have to have
- 00:20:38.717 --> 00:20:41.787
- So many people turn a blind eye to allow the fraud
- 00:20:41.787 --> 00:20:45.390
- To go this long, this large, this widespread.
- 00:20:45.390 --> 00:20:49.194
- Who who needs to be held accountable next.
- 00:20:49.194 --> 00:20:52.664
- Yeah.
- 00:20:52.898 --> 00:20:53.732
- I think it's a great point, andrew.
- 00:20:53.732 --> 00:20:54.700
- In many ways, this this fraud is almost baked
- 00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:56.935
- Into the legislation that we see
- 00:20:56.935 --> 00:20:58.503
- Past, again and again at the state
- 00:20:58.503 --> 00:21:00.739
- Capitol with these ngos, these nonprofits that are formed.
- 00:21:00.739 --> 00:21:04.309
- I'll just highlight some some recent reporting
- 00:21:04.309 --> 00:21:06.945
- Over at alpha news within the last few months.
- 00:21:06.945 --> 00:21:08.814
- But a transportation company, paid millions of dollars over
- 00:21:08.814 --> 00:21:12.551
- What the minneapolis school district was, was allowing,
- 00:21:12.551 --> 00:21:15.687
- We find that these vans are either sitting for months
- 00:21:15.687 --> 00:21:18.557
- On end or, in fact, they're driving, around town
- 00:21:18.557 --> 00:21:22.494
- Without any passengers in them at all.
- 00:21:22.494 --> 00:21:24.663
- A somali owned company,
- 00:21:24.663 --> 00:21:26.198
- Several somali owned company is working
- 00:21:26.198 --> 00:21:27.699
- For the minneapolis school district.
- 00:21:27.699 --> 00:21:29.768
- Well, it turns out that there is
- 00:21:29.768 --> 00:21:30.869
- Some legislation passed in 2023 under a dfl trifecta
- 00:21:30.869 --> 00:21:34.406
- So controlled by democrats, that basically, 100%,
- 00:21:34.406 --> 00:21:39.644
- 100% of the reimbursement that is submitted
- 00:21:39.644 --> 00:21:42.247
- To the federal government will go, to to the district.
- 00:21:42.247 --> 00:21:45.851
- And those those companies, and what are the
- 00:21:45.851 --> 00:21:48.653
- Monitoring systems put in place, for these,
- 00:21:48.653 --> 00:21:51.089
- You know, so-called rides and services?
- 00:21:51.089 --> 00:21:53.225
- This is all of a sudden, assigned to what they consider
- 00:21:53.225 --> 00:21:56.561
- The homeless and highly mobile population in minneapolis.
- 00:21:56.561 --> 00:22:00.031
- So has been reported before
- 00:22:00.031 --> 00:22:01.933
- And not by the mainstream media,
- 00:22:01.933 --> 00:22:04.002
- The mainstream media is very complacent in minnesota.
- 00:22:04.002 --> 00:22:06.538
- I know you guys know that now that well, with,
- 00:22:06.538 --> 00:22:09.474
- You know,
- 00:22:09.474 --> 00:22:10.442
- Perhaps the focus being more on what they do
- 00:22:10.442 --> 00:22:11.443
- Not report than than what they do.
- 00:22:11.443 --> 00:22:13.578
- And the minnesota star tribune, minnesota's largest
- 00:22:13.578 --> 00:22:17.115
- Newspaper, is run by a former commissioner of governor,
- 00:22:17.115 --> 00:22:21.620
- Tim walz. liz, you're quite the trooper.
- 00:22:21.620 --> 00:22:23.755
- I would get out of minnesota if i were you.
- 00:22:23.755 --> 00:22:25.590
- But you're there.
- 00:22:25.590 --> 00:22:26.391
- You're covering for us,
- 00:22:26.391 --> 00:22:27.726
- And i suspect we're going to get
- 00:22:27.726 --> 00:22:28.894
- A lot of material from it in the weeks to come.
- 00:22:28.894 --> 00:22:31.263
- Thank you for very much for coming on.
- 00:22:31.263 --> 00:22:33.298
- Thanks, liz.
- 00:22:33.298 --> 00:22:35.167
- As this year draws to an end,
- 00:22:35.801 --> 00:22:37.269
- I'd like to express my
- 00:22:37.269 --> 00:22:38.637
- Heartfelt gratitude to our partners, the fellowship
- 00:22:38.637 --> 00:22:41.640
- Of christians and jews.

- And i'd like to say thank you to our audience
- 00:22:43.175 --> 00:22:45.610

- 00:22:45.610 --> 00:22:47.846
- And standing strong for the people of israel.
- 00:22:47.846 --> 00:22:49.948
- The fellowship is one of america's
- 00:22:49.948 --> 00:22:51.416

- Many of whom are holocaust survivors who are now
- 00:23:06.097 --> 00:23:09.034
