  • Brought to you in part by the
  • 00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.492
  • International fellowship of christians and jews.
  • 00:00:02.492 --> 00:00:14.871
  • Andrew calvert here.
  • 00:00:15.338 --> 00:00:16.406
  • I'm, a little bit remote today, but, so, blake,
  • 00:00:16.406 --> 00:00:21.444
  • Why don't you kick things off and just set the set the table
  • 00:00:21.444 --> 00:00:24.514
  • On this filibuster discussion that's happening.
  • 00:00:24.514 --> 00:00:27.250
  • All right, so last night,
  • 00:00:27.250 --> 00:00:29.085
  • Trump trump sent a shot across the bow.
  • 00:00:29.085 --> 00:00:32.555
  • Yes. so we'll get to that first very quickly
  • 00:00:32.555 --> 00:00:35.258
  • I do want to flag something because
  • 00:00:35.258 --> 00:00:36.893
  • Charlie would be angry at us if we didn't.
  • 00:00:36.893 --> 00:00:39.262
  • There are elections next tuesday in new jersey
  • 00:00:39.262 --> 00:00:42.398
  • And in virginia. they are tough races.
  • 00:00:42.398 --> 00:00:44.501
  • They are racist.
  • 00:00:44.501 --> 00:00:45.368
  • To be honest. we are unlikely to win,
  • 00:00:45.368 --> 00:00:46.903
  • But we are going to try to win them.
  • 00:00:46.903 --> 00:00:48.805
  • We talked with cliff maloney the other day.
  • 00:00:48.805 --> 00:00:50.607
  • He said there were about, i think, 80,000 unreturned
  • 00:00:50.607 --> 00:00:53.443
  • Republican mail ballots in new jersey.
  • 00:00:53.443 --> 00:00:56.279
  • So if you're one of those people in new jersey
  • 00:00:56.279 --> 00:00:57.914
  • Who has one of those ballots and hasn't returned it,
  • 00:00:57.914 --> 00:00:59.782
  • Shut off the show, fill it out and turn it in.
  • 00:00:59.782 --> 00:01:03.153
  • Right now
  • 00:01:03.153 --> 00:01:04.287
  • In virginia, the last day to early vote is tomorrow.
  • 00:01:04.287 --> 00:01:08.158
  • So if you're in virginia and you're allowed to early
  • 00:01:08.158 --> 00:01:10.493
  • Vote and you haven't yet shut off this show,
  • 00:01:10.493 --> 00:01:13.363
  • Go to your county courthouse
  • 00:01:13.363 --> 00:01:15.398
  • Or wherever you're allowed to early vote and do it now.
  • 00:01:15.398 --> 00:01:18.168
  • Thank you very much.
  • 00:01:18.168 --> 00:01:19.536
  • We're going to flag that next monday,
  • 00:01:19.536 --> 00:01:21.638
  • And we'll be broadcast in the election results on tuesday.
  • 00:01:21.638 --> 00:01:24.841
  • All right.
  • 00:01:25.141 --> 00:01:26.109
  • Thank you for your attention to this matter.
  • 00:01:26.109 --> 00:01:27.944
  • Now just want to throw.
  • 00:01:27.944 --> 00:01:28.878
  • Throw this up. like, throw the throw.
  • 00:01:28.878 --> 00:01:30.413
  • 329.
  • 00:01:30.413 --> 00:01:31.614
  • This is the recent polling we got.
  • 00:01:31.614 --> 00:01:34.551
  • Cheryl is up by 11..
  • 00:01:34.551 --> 00:01:38.288
  • According to the latest polls.
  • 00:01:38.288 --> 00:01:40.223
  • This is from emerson college and jack rally.
  • 00:01:40.223 --> 00:01:43.126
  • So it's 49 to 48.
  • 00:01:43.126 --> 00:01:45.094
  • We got about 3% undecided.
  • 00:01:45.094 --> 00:01:46.763
  • But remember, there's a there's two
  • 00:01:46.763 --> 00:01:48.798
  • Little pieces of information
  • 00:01:48.798 --> 00:01:49.899
  • I want you guys to, to hold deep in your hearts
  • 00:01:49.899 --> 00:01:53.503
  • As you go out there and you seize the momentum.
  • 00:01:53.503 --> 00:01:55.872
  • Independence are backing
  • 00:01:55.872 --> 00:01:58.808
  • China rally by plus nine.
  • 00:01:58.808 --> 00:02:01.277
  • And here's another one.
  • 00:02:01.277 --> 00:02:02.412
  • If they if you are asked who do you support?
  • 00:02:02.412 --> 00:02:05.748
  • They'll say it one way, but if it when voters are asked
  • 00:02:05.748 --> 00:02:08.751
  • Who do they think their neighbors are voting for?
  • 00:02:08.751 --> 00:02:11.688
  • Guess what?
  • 00:02:12.021 --> 00:02:12.622
  • China rallies up by six.
  • 00:02:12.622 --> 00:02:14.157
  • Which is a very interesting way to pull this,
  • 00:02:14.157 --> 00:02:16.159
  • Because sometimes people will say, oh,
  • 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.161
  • Of course i'm going democrat to a pollster.
  • 00:02:18.161 --> 00:02:20.029
  • But when they ask who your
  • 00:02:20.029 --> 00:02:21.965
  • Who do you think your friends and your families
  • 00:02:21.965 --> 00:02:23.466
  • And your coworkers, your neighbors are voting for,
  • 00:02:23.466 --> 00:02:25.301
  • To see china rally up?
  • 00:02:25.301 --> 00:02:26.502
  • Six is a very, very promising sign.
  • 00:02:26.502 --> 00:02:29.272
  • So keep the faith in new jersey.
  • 00:02:29.272 --> 00:02:31.307
  • All right.
  • 00:02:31.307 --> 00:02:32.208
  • So anyway, president trump's response.
  • 00:02:32.208 --> 00:02:33.610
  • So last night on truth social, he said this.
  • 00:02:33.610 --> 00:02:36.613
  • He had a pretty long post.
  • 00:02:36.613 --> 00:02:37.513
  • I'm not going to read the whole thing,
  • 00:02:37.513 --> 00:02:38.781
  • But he was saying,
  • 00:02:38.781 --> 00:02:40.083
  • You know, democrats have gone off the deep end.
  • 00:02:40.083 --> 00:02:43.486
  • They have trump derangement syndrome,
  • 00:02:43.486 --> 00:02:44.787
  • They have trillions of dollars, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
  • 00:02:44.787 --> 00:02:46.122
  • And then he says, it is time now, time for republicans
  • 00:02:46.122 --> 00:02:49.158
  • To play their trump card all caps
  • 00:02:49.158 --> 00:02:52.128
  • And go for what is called the nuclear option,
  • 00:02:52.128 --> 00:02:54.864
  • Get rid of the filibuster and get rid of it.
  • 00:02:54.864 --> 00:02:57.934
  • Now, never have the democrats fought so hard to do something,
  • 00:02:57.934 --> 00:03:01.571
  • Because they knew the tremendous strength
  • 00:03:01.571 --> 00:03:03.206
  • That terminating the filibuster would give them.
  • 00:03:03.206 --> 00:03:06.276
  • They want to substantially expand, pack
  • 00:03:06.276 --> 00:03:09.112
  • The us supreme court, make washington,
  • 00:03:09.112 --> 00:03:10.847
  • Dc and puerto rico states,
  • 00:03:10.847 --> 00:03:12.515
  • It goes on and on is actually quite the long thing.
  • 00:03:12.515 --> 00:03:15.184
  • And then he doubled down on that.
  • 00:03:15.184 --> 00:03:17.787
  • The democrats have gone stone cold crazy,
  • 00:03:17.787 --> 00:03:21.491
  • The choice is clear.
  • 00:03:21.958 --> 00:03:23.192
  • Initiate the nuclear option, get rid of the filibuster,
  • 00:03:23.192 --> 00:03:27.230
  • And make america great again.
  • 00:03:27.230 --> 00:03:31.067
  • Now, i would guess the senate is probably unlikely
  • 00:03:31.067 --> 00:03:34.671
  • To go for that,
  • 00:03:34.671 --> 00:03:35.738
  • But trump has a lot of power to pressure people.
  • 00:03:35.738 --> 00:03:38.641
  • And i think it's an interesting debate.
  • 00:03:38.641 --> 00:03:40.343
  • We were talking about this,
  • 00:03:40.343 --> 00:03:41.678
  • You know, should it be gone for and
  • 00:03:41.678 --> 00:03:43.713
  • My impulse and what i would tell charlie
  • 00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:47.116
  • If we would discuss
  • 00:03:47.116 --> 00:03:48.251
  • This is if you're going to get rid of the filibuster,
  • 00:03:48.251 --> 00:03:51.254
  • You've got to do it basically as a day.
  • 00:03:51.254 --> 00:03:53.156
  • One thing, they should have done it
  • 00:03:53.156 --> 00:03:54.390
  • The day trump took office, because you need to maximize
  • 00:03:54.390 --> 00:03:58.127
  • What you get out of it, and then you go in
  • 00:03:58.127 --> 00:04:00.763
  • Because there's all these things
  • 00:04:00.763 --> 00:04:01.731
  • We want to do that we can't do
  • 00:04:01.731 --> 00:04:03.099
  • Because you need 60 votes to do it.
  • 00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:04.734
  • Change our immigration laws, change environmental laws.
  • 00:04:04.734 --> 00:04:07.337
  • So it's easier to build things in america.
  • 00:04:07.337 --> 00:04:10.573
  • You know, change, change our budgeting process,
  • 00:04:10.573 --> 00:04:13.076
  • Do maybe entitlement reforms, all these numbers of things
  • 00:04:13.076 --> 00:04:16.579
  • You'd want to do, and it would be a huge misfire.
  • 00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:19.515
  • I think if we were to get rid
  • 00:04:19.515 --> 00:04:20.550
  • Of the filibuster, get rid of the 60 vote barrier,
  • 00:04:20.550 --> 00:04:23.553
  • And all we get out of it
  • 00:04:23.553 --> 00:04:24.620
  • Is we end up shut down and we resume snap benefits.
  • 00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:27.457
  • And then if democrats take office after 2028,
  • 00:04:27.457 --> 00:04:30.393
  • God forbid, but, you know, it's a possibility,
  • 00:04:30.393 --> 00:04:32.428
  • Then they come in and they're getting that day
  • 00:04:32.428 --> 00:04:34.230
  • One no filibuster thing where they get to run wild.
  • 00:04:34.230 --> 00:04:37.567
  • And i think that would be my concern,
  • 00:04:37.567 --> 00:04:39.435
  • And probably charlie's concern
  • 00:04:39.435 --> 00:04:40.770
  • If he was here to talk about it with us. how about you guys?
  • 00:04:40.770 --> 00:04:44.140
  • Well, i feel
  • 00:04:44.474 --> 00:04:46.242
  • Like i feel a little bit conflicted.
  • 00:04:46.242 --> 00:04:48.478
  • Because i think the one main thing that would be worth
  • 00:04:48.478 --> 00:04:52.648
  • Ending the filibuster for is immigration reform.
  • 00:04:52.648 --> 00:04:55.251
  • Either an immigration moratorium
  • 00:04:55.251 --> 00:04:57.620
  • Or at least a dramatic reduction in a and a
  • 00:04:57.620 --> 00:05:00.490
  • Replacing of our current model with something that was more
  • 00:05:00.490 --> 00:05:04.160
  • Merit based and more interested in
  • 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.596
  • What what does america get out of it?
  • 00:05:06.596 --> 00:05:08.231
  • I think immigration
  • 00:05:08.231 --> 00:05:09.298
  • Is the first, second and third and fourth and fifth
  • 00:05:09.298 --> 00:05:12.101
  • Most important issue in our country.
  • 00:05:12.101 --> 00:05:13.770
  • I think it's all about the future of america.
  • 00:05:13.770 --> 00:05:15.705
  • So if you're going to do it,
  • 00:05:15.705 --> 00:05:16.672
  • You got to have the guts to do that.
  • 00:05:16.672 --> 00:05:17.974
  • I don't think it's worth blowing up the filibuster to.
  • 00:05:17.974 --> 00:05:22.011
  • Yeah, just turn snap benefits back on or
  • 00:05:22.011 --> 00:05:24.113
  • Get the government going.
  • 00:05:24.113 --> 00:05:25.181
  • I mean,
  • 00:05:25.181 --> 00:05:26.015
  • I think we are in a winning position
  • 00:05:26.015 --> 00:05:27.316
  • When it comes to the government shutdown.
  • 00:05:27.316 --> 00:05:28.818
  • We as, the republican party have we have,
  • 00:05:28.818 --> 00:05:31.854
  • Tried to open the government multiple, multiple times.
  • 00:05:31.854 --> 00:05:34.690
  • The democrats have,
  • 00:05:34.690 --> 00:05:35.792
  • Have blocked it, time and again,
  • 00:05:35.792 --> 00:05:38.060
  • They have even tried to pass a clean bill
  • 00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:41.230
  • To turn snap benefits back on for people.
  • 00:05:41.230 --> 00:05:43.299
  • So this is the newest,
  • 00:05:43.299 --> 00:05:44.434
  • You know, flashpoint is the, the snap benefits.
  • 00:05:44.434 --> 00:05:47.236
  • But here's the deal.
  • 00:05:47.236 --> 00:05:49.138
  • If we do this, there will come a time.
  • 00:05:49.138 --> 00:05:53.142
  • And you've
  • 00:05:53.443 --> 00:05:54.510
  • We've just got to be perfectly honest about it,
  • 00:05:54.510 --> 00:05:56.446
  • Where they will make
  • 00:05:56.446 --> 00:05:57.680
  • Puerto rico a state, and that's two more, democrat senators.
  • 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:02.051
  • They will probably try and make washington, dc a state.
  • 00:06:02.051 --> 00:06:05.087
  • That's two more senators on top of that.
  • 00:06:05.087 --> 00:06:08.758
  • So you could be staring down the barrel of a situation
  • 00:06:08.758 --> 00:06:11.661
  • Where if you if you take this away,
  • 00:06:11.661 --> 00:06:14.931
  • Then we might not ever have a majority
  • 00:06:14.931 --> 00:06:17.733
  • In the us senate again.
  • 00:06:17.733 --> 00:06:19.602
  • I mean, we could now, jd vance said at our turning point
  • 00:06:19.602 --> 00:06:23.473
  • Event at old myths like we shouldn't
  • 00:06:23.473 --> 00:06:25.541
  • Be afraid to do stuff just because we know
  • 00:06:25.541 --> 00:06:27.410
  • That the democrat party is going to do it well.
  • 00:06:27.410 --> 00:06:30.146
  • This is one instance
  • 00:06:30.146 --> 00:06:32.348
  • That at least in the previous iteration,
  • 00:06:32.348 --> 00:06:34.350
  • We had kirsten cinnamon, we had joe manchin that blocked,
  • 00:06:34.350 --> 00:06:38.254
  • The nuclear option from being on the table
  • 00:06:38.254 --> 00:06:41.023
  • For the democrats.
  • 00:06:41.023 --> 00:06:41.924
  • And that probably saved the republic.
  • 00:06:41.924 --> 00:06:43.493
  • So i feel very, very conflicted.
  • 00:06:43.493 --> 00:06:44.994
  • Obviously, it's tempting to do any a party's in power.
  • 00:06:44.994 --> 00:06:47.630
  • It's tempting to do,
  • 00:06:47.630 --> 00:06:48.631
  • But i think we have to be very, very cautious
  • 00:06:48.631 --> 00:06:52.268
  • About doing this.
  • 00:06:52.268 --> 00:06:52.935
  • And and we've seen that mike
  • 00:06:52.935 --> 00:06:54.070
  • Johnson has come out against, blown up the filibuster.
  • 00:06:54.070 --> 00:06:56.706
  • So i don't know if you have final thoughts there, but like
  • 00:06:56.706 --> 00:06:59.175
  • Before we hit the break, but,
  • 00:06:59.175 --> 00:07:00.943
  • It's it's a, it's a hornet's nest, that's it's it's
  • 00:07:00.943 --> 00:07:04.547
  • You always just any time
  • 00:07:04.547 --> 00:07:06.516
  • There's a lot of things republicans have wanted to do.
  • 00:07:06.516 --> 00:07:09.318
  • And anytime
  • 00:07:09.318 --> 00:07:10.219
  • You're going to do something political,
  • 00:07:10.219 --> 00:07:11.554
  • You have to think what will happen next.
  • 00:07:11.554 --> 00:07:14.190
  • You always want to think
  • 00:07:14.190 --> 00:07:15.291
  • The medium term consequences of what you will do.
  • 00:07:15.291 --> 00:07:17.927
  • And this is one of the biggest ones of all,
  • 00:07:17.927 --> 00:07:20.029
  • Where you have to think that out.
  • 00:07:20.029 --> 00:07:21.197
  • So be careful what you wish for as what we would say.
  • 00:07:21.197 --> 00:07:29.539
  • In genesis
  • 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:30.740
  • 12 three, god made a powerful promise
  • 00:07:30.740 --> 00:07:33.376
  • To abraham, the father of the jewish people.
  • 00:07:33.376 --> 00:07:36.579
  • I will bless those who bless you.
  • 00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:39.782
  • The christian bible tells us
  • 00:07:39.782 --> 00:07:41.317
  • That we have been grafted into god's family tree.
  • 00:07:41.317 --> 00:07:44.287
  • The rich olive tree of israel,
  • 00:07:44.287 --> 00:07:46.689
  • The very foundations of the christian faith,
  • 00:07:46.689 --> 00:07:49.091
  • The bible and jesus, whom christians call
  • 00:07:49.091 --> 00:07:51.694
  • The messiah, are deeply rooted in israel.
  • 00:07:51.694 --> 00:07:55.164
  • Supporting israel aligns christians with god's
  • 00:07:55.164 --> 00:07:57.800
  • Prophetic timeline.
  • 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.168
  • It demonstrates our willingness to be instruments of
  • 00:07:59.168 --> 00:08:02.405
  • God's blessing, uplifting his chosen people,
  • 00:08:02.405 --> 00:08:05.975
  • And it calls us to confront and heal
  • 00:08:05.975 --> 00:08:08.277
  • The centuries old wounds of anti-semitism.
  • 00:08:08.277 --> 00:08:11.314
  • The scripture says how good and how
  • 00:08:11.314 --> 00:08:13.749
  • Pleasant it is when brethren dwell together.
  • 00:08:13.749 --> 00:08:17.053
  • You can be part of this historic movement
  • 00:08:17.053 --> 00:08:20.590

  • All right, without further ado, i'm so excited to bring in
  • 00:08:34.338 --> 00:08:37.307

  • Good catholic american.

  • Because that seems to be i want to actually i'm going
  • 00:08:44.381 --> 00:08:46.350
  • To get into that with you, michael.
  • 00:08:46.350 --> 00:08:48.118
  • Well, jd vance dust up about us. yeah.
  • 00:08:48.118 --> 00:08:50.354
  • But we'll, we'll
  • 00:08:50.354 --> 00:08:51.355
  • We're going to start with the most important.
  • 00:08:51.355 --> 00:08:53.123
  • Tell us what you did this week.
  • 00:08:53.123 --> 00:08:54.825
  • You you went before the u.s. senate.
  • 00:08:54.825 --> 00:08:57.327
  • It was a subcommittee hearing on
  • 00:08:57.327 --> 00:08:59.262
  • The rise of political violence.
  • 00:08:59.262 --> 00:09:01.064
  • It was hosted,
  • 00:09:01.064 --> 00:09:02.265
  • And chaired by senator eric schmidt from the great state
  • 00:09:02.265 --> 00:09:05.335
  • Of missouri.
  • 00:09:05.335 --> 00:09:06.403
  • Tell us what, what that was all about, michael.
  • 00:09:06.403 --> 00:09:08.805
  • It was a really important hearing.
  • 00:09:08.805 --> 00:09:10.307
  • I was honored to be invited in to go testify.
  • 00:09:10.307 --> 00:09:13.143
  • Chairman schmidt called it.
  • 00:09:13.143 --> 00:09:15.012
  • And as timely a moment as you can imagine,
  • 00:09:15.012 --> 00:09:17.881
  • He opened it, by the way,
  • 00:09:17.881 --> 00:09:19.349
  • With a beautiful tribute to charlie.
  • 00:09:19.349 --> 00:09:21.551
  • And and, if people haven't gone to see the testimony,
  • 00:09:21.551 --> 00:09:25.122
  • Just even that opening, i think was really beautiful.
  • 00:09:25.122 --> 00:09:27.224
  • And that was obviously the cause of of the testimony
  • 00:09:27.224 --> 00:09:30.193
  • Because there's been
  • 00:09:30.193 --> 00:09:31.361
  • A lot of political violence and it has been increasing.
  • 00:09:31.361 --> 00:09:33.497
  • There was a pew poll just came out.
  • 00:09:33.497 --> 00:09:34.865
  • 85% of americans think that political violence
  • 00:09:34.865 --> 00:09:37.934
  • Is getting worse in our country.
  • 00:09:37.934 --> 00:09:39.436
  • When 85% of americans agree on anything.
  • 00:09:39.436 --> 00:09:42.039
  • I think you can
  • 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:43.073
  • You can acknowledge that it's it's happening.
  • 00:09:43.073 --> 00:09:45.008
  • And, so he said, all right, obviously this is a long
  • 00:09:45.008 --> 00:09:48.445
  • Standing problem that has reached this horrific,
  • 00:09:48.445 --> 00:09:51.915
  • Tragic climax in lee's assassination
  • 00:09:51.915 --> 00:09:55.919
  • And in the reaction to charlie's assassination
  • 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.755
  • And the minimizing and the excusing and the justifying
  • 00:09:58.755 --> 00:10:01.792
  • And even the celebrating at all levels of the american left.
  • 00:10:01.792 --> 00:10:05.829
  • And so we need to figure out what's really going on here.
  • 00:10:05.829 --> 00:10:08.632
  • So i felt it was important to go.
  • 00:10:08.632 --> 00:10:11.068
  • The democrats called their own minority witnesses.
  • 00:10:11.068 --> 00:10:14.137
  • What was really, disappointing is that
  • 00:10:14.137 --> 00:10:17.541
  • Half the democrats on the panel didn't even show up.
  • 00:10:17.541 --> 00:10:21.745
  • The ones who did show up asked,
  • 00:10:21.745 --> 00:10:24.648
  • I thought, ridiculous questions.
  • 00:10:24.648 --> 00:10:26.216
  • You know, they would just bring up january 6th or whatever.
  • 00:10:26.216 --> 00:10:28.952
  • They wouldn't even let us answer on
  • 00:10:28.952 --> 00:10:30.320
  • The points of january 6th.
  • 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.090
  • I think because they know the
  • 00:10:33.724 --> 00:10:34.591
  • Answers would be devastating to them.
  • 00:10:34.591 --> 00:10:36.593
  • And, and then there was one moment in particular
  • 00:10:36.593 --> 00:10:39.062
  • That i thought was
  • 00:10:39.062 --> 00:10:40.030
  • Was really crazy because one of the guys on
  • 00:10:40.030 --> 00:10:41.531
  • This subcommittee is cory booker,
  • 00:10:41.531 --> 00:10:43.800
  • And cory booker has endorsed jay jones for attorney general
  • 00:10:43.800 --> 00:10:47.471
  • Of virginia.
  • 00:10:47.471 --> 00:10:48.705
  • Jay jones, who has called for republican, is to be killed.
  • 00:10:48.705 --> 00:10:52.008
  • And he's clarified he wasn't joking about that.
  • 00:10:52.008 --> 00:10:54.611
  • So cory booker shows up late.
  • 00:10:54.611 --> 00:10:57.147
  • He uses up all his time just bloviating, saying
  • 00:10:57.147 --> 00:11:00.684
  • It's really a both sides issue, but actually, secretly, it's
  • 00:11:00.684 --> 00:11:02.919
  • Entirely a right wing issue.
  • 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:04.488
  • And anyway, we need to
  • 00:11:04.488 --> 00:11:05.922
  • We need to be more careful about our words.
  • 00:11:05.922 --> 00:11:07.491
  • We need to take back our words
  • 00:11:07.491 --> 00:11:08.859
  • When we say things we shouldn't have said.
  • 00:11:08.859 --> 00:11:10.160
  • We need to be introspect.
  • 00:11:10.160 --> 00:11:11.762
  • The questioning then goes to
  • 00:11:12.362 --> 00:11:13.563
  • Senator blackburn on the other side of the room.
  • 00:11:13.563 --> 00:11:15.265
  • I'm listening to her and i say, okay,
  • 00:11:15.265 --> 00:11:16.666
  • That's a good question, but i want to
  • 00:11:16.666 --> 00:11:17.567
  • Get back to something, senator booker said.
  • 00:11:17.567 --> 00:11:19.302
  • You know,
  • 00:11:19.302 --> 00:11:20.103
  • If he's really serious about this,
  • 00:11:20.103 --> 00:11:21.004
  • It seems like he's setting the stage
  • 00:11:21.004 --> 00:11:22.606
  • To withdraw his endorsement from jay jones.
  • 00:11:22.606 --> 00:11:25.442
  • He should do that now i turn booker left the room.
  • 00:11:25.442 --> 00:11:28.578
  • There's a cory booker shaped hole in the wall.
  • 00:11:28.578 --> 00:11:30.347
  • The whole thing on the democrat side
  • 00:11:30.347 --> 00:11:32.249
  • Was completely disingenuous.
  • 00:11:32.249 --> 00:11:34.017
  • It was crocodile tears.
  • 00:11:34.017 --> 00:11:35.652
  • And the conclusion that i have to reach from
  • 00:11:35.652 --> 00:11:38.088
  • That is the democrats
  • 00:11:38.088 --> 00:11:39.556
  • Don't want to talk about political violence
  • 00:11:39.556 --> 00:11:41.191
  • Because one, it's coming from the left.
  • 00:11:41.191 --> 00:11:42.759
  • Even the atlantic magazine
  • 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:43.860
  • Admits it, and two, because their base supports it.
  • 00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:47.531
  • And i can't come to any conclusion
  • 00:11:47.531 --> 00:11:48.865
  • Other than
  • 00:11:48.865 --> 00:11:49.966
  • The democrats in government are more or less fine
  • 00:11:49.966 --> 00:11:52.536
  • With the political violence, too.
  • 00:11:52.536 --> 00:11:54.204
  • Well, i fear you're right, michael.
  • 00:11:54.204 --> 00:11:55.639
  • There's a clip here that from jennifer welch,
  • 00:11:55.639 --> 00:12:01.011
  • Who i confess, i had no idea who she was
  • 00:12:01.011 --> 00:12:03.647
  • Until about a week ago,
  • 00:12:03.647 --> 00:12:06.883
  • And she apparently has amassed
  • 00:12:06.883 --> 00:12:09.019
  • Quite a following as a podcast.
  • 00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:10.654
  • So she's a former bravo reality star that became a podcaster.
  • 00:12:10.654 --> 00:12:15.358
  • And she says some pretty troubling things
  • 00:12:15.358 --> 00:12:17.727
  • That lead me to believe
  • 00:12:17.727 --> 00:12:18.995
  • That your conclusions reached after this subcommittee hearing
  • 00:12:18.995 --> 00:12:22.666
  • Are sadly, more likely than not true.
  • 00:12:22.666 --> 00:12:25.936
  • Play cut 283. so listen up.
  • 00:12:25.936 --> 00:12:27.771
  • Democratic establishment,
  • 00:12:27.771 --> 00:12:29.339
  • You can either jump on board with this
  • 00:12:30.106 --> 00:12:32.809
  • Or we're coming after you in the same way
  • 00:12:32.809 --> 00:12:35.045
  • That we come after maga period there
  • 00:12:35.045 --> 00:12:38.148
  • That are beholden to the same corporations
  • 00:12:38.148 --> 00:12:41.051
  • That donald trump that helped donald trump get elected.
  • 00:12:41.051 --> 00:12:44.354
  • Kudos to bernie, to aoc, to zoran
  • 00:12:44.354 --> 00:12:48.391
  • And that woman out in somewhere middle america
  • 00:12:48.391 --> 00:12:51.795
  • Saying charlie kirk, he was a racist.
  • 00:12:51.795 --> 00:12:54.764
  • He was a piece.
  • 00:12:54.764 --> 00:12:56.766
  • There are so many more of us than there are of them.
  • 00:12:56.766 --> 00:12:59.603
  • And these democrats that continue to play patty
  • 00:12:59.603 --> 00:13:02.339
  • Cake with corporations, nobody wants that.
  • 00:13:02.339 --> 00:13:05.575
  • Nobody wants you.
  • 00:13:05.575 --> 00:13:07.244
  • So, michael, is she right that the democrat base does
  • 00:13:07.244 --> 00:13:10.480
  • Not want to moderate, that they do not want
  • 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.717
  • To confront the demons in their own closet
  • 00:13:13.717 --> 00:13:16.553
  • And their own activist militant base?
  • 00:13:16.553 --> 00:13:19.456
  • You know, the polls as well as i.
  • 00:13:19.456 --> 00:13:21.157
  • After charlie's assassination, yougov conducted surveys
  • 00:13:21.157 --> 00:13:24.594
  • Showed that people who identify as very liberal are eight
  • 00:13:24.594 --> 00:13:27.631
  • Times as likely as people who are very conservative
  • 00:13:27.631 --> 00:13:30.500
  • And justify political violence.
  • 00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:32.002
  • Let's throw that image up.
  • 00:13:32.002 --> 00:13:33.103
  • This is, 31 image 31, please.
  • 00:13:33.103 --> 00:13:36.473
  • And i believe this is the poll you're looking at.
  • 00:13:36.473 --> 00:13:38.575
  • And that that crazy we've we've shown in a number time
  • 00:13:38.575 --> 00:13:41.478
  • A number of times on this show, michael.
  • 00:13:41.478 --> 00:13:43.113
  • But this is to me
  • 00:13:43.113 --> 00:13:44.314
  • The scariest graph that exists in american politics today.
  • 00:13:44.314 --> 00:13:47.384
  • We have 18 to 39 year old self-described progressives
  • 00:13:47.384 --> 00:13:51.521
  • With that wild
  • 00:13:51.855 --> 00:13:54.057
  • Stand out node, that blue left dot on the screen
  • 00:13:54.057 --> 00:13:59.329
  • Where you and you contrast that with the same age group
  • 00:13:59.329 --> 00:14:02.499
  • Among conservatives, and they are among the most,
  • 00:14:02.499 --> 00:14:05.902
  • If not the most peaceful of all the cohorts on this survey.
  • 00:14:05.902 --> 00:14:14.844
  • In genesis
  • 00:14:15.145 --> 00:14:16.046
  • 12 three, god made a powerful promise
  • 00:14:16.046 --> 00:14:18.682
  • To abraham, the father of the jewish people.
  • 00:14:18.682 --> 00:14:21.885
  • I will bless those who bless you.
  • 00:14:21.885 --> 00:14:25.088
  • The christian bible tells us
  • 00:14:25.088 --> 00:14:26.623
  • That we have been grafted into god's family tree.
  • 00:14:26.623 --> 00:14:29.592
  • The rich olive tree of israel,
  • 00:14:29.592 --> 00:14:31.995
  • The very foundations of the christian faith,
  • 00:14:31.995 --> 00:14:34.397
  • The bible and jesus, whom christians call
  • 00:14:34.397 --> 00:14:37.000
  • The messiah, are deeply rooted in israel.
  • 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.470
  • Supporting israel aligns christians with god's
  • 00:14:40.470 --> 00:14:43.106
  • Prophetic timeline.
  • 00:14:43.106 --> 00:14:44.474
  • It demonstrates our willingness to be instruments of
  • 00:14:44.474 --> 00:14:47.711
  • God's blessing, uplifting his chosen people,
  • 00:14:47.711 --> 00:14:51.281
  • And it calls us to confront and heal
  • 00:14:51.281 --> 00:14:53.583
  • The centuries old wounds of anti-semitism.
  • 00:14:53.583 --> 00:14:56.619
  • The scripture says how good and how
  • 00:14:56.619 --> 00:14:59.055
  • Pleasant it is when brethren dwell together.
  • 00:14:59.055 --> 00:15:02.359

  • J.org today.
  • 00:15:13.007 --> 00:15:19.510
  • Top trump
  • 00:15:19.810 --> 00:15:20.745
  • Officials are moving on to military bases.
  • 00:15:20.745 --> 00:15:24.081
  • Stephen miller, marco rubio, kristi noem and others
  • 00:15:24.081 --> 00:15:27.618
  • Have taken over homes
  • 00:15:27.618 --> 00:15:29.286
  • That until recently housed senior military officials.
  • 00:15:29.286 --> 00:15:32.556
  • So this is
  • 00:15:32.857 --> 00:15:33.991
  • Straight from the atlantic, and it is no longer safe
  • 00:15:33.991 --> 00:15:37.461
  • For members of the trump administration to live out
  • 00:15:37.461 --> 00:15:40.998
  • In the general public.
  • 00:15:40.998 --> 00:15:42.199
  • They have to be housed in secure military bases for
  • 00:15:42.199 --> 00:15:46.203
  • Their own safety and for their family safety.
  • 00:15:46.203 --> 00:15:48.205
  • This is what it's come to.
  • 00:15:48.205 --> 00:15:49.707
  • What's crazy?
  • 00:15:49.707 --> 00:15:50.841
  • That's actually not even the article i was referencing.
  • 00:15:50.841 --> 00:15:53.110
  • There's another article that says left wing
  • 00:15:53.110 --> 00:15:55.513
  • Terrorism is on the rise.
  • 00:15:55.513 --> 00:15:57.248
  • That's the headline.
  • 00:15:57.248 --> 00:15:58.249
  • I actually hadn't even seen this headline
  • 00:15:58.249 --> 00:16:00.184
  • Until you just showed it to me.
  • 00:16:00.184 --> 00:16:01.685
  • The fact that we have civilians, we have people
  • 00:16:01.685 --> 00:16:05.189
  • Just working in our government, ordinary political order,
  • 00:16:05.189 --> 00:16:08.893
  • Who now have to move to secure locations
  • 00:16:08.893 --> 00:16:12.329
  • For military leaders.
  • 00:16:12.329 --> 00:16:14.131
  • It shows you that
  • 00:16:14.131 --> 00:16:15.366
  • That something really horrific has happened in this country,
  • 00:16:15.366 --> 00:16:17.902
  • As if the rubicon has been crossed.
  • 00:16:17.902 --> 00:16:20.104
  • I suspect that happened when the democrats started
  • 00:16:20.104 --> 00:16:23.674
  • Prosecuting trump.
  • 00:16:23.674 --> 00:16:25.276
  • You know, the chief
  • 00:16:25.276 --> 00:16:26.177
  • Political opponent and the predecessor
  • 00:16:26.177 --> 00:16:27.912
  • When they started writing his home,
  • 00:16:27.912 --> 00:16:30.214
  • When when they started going, after all,
  • 00:16:30.214 --> 00:16:33.084
  • All of their enemies.
  • 00:16:33.084 --> 00:16:33.984
  • And even justifying his assassination,
  • 00:16:33.984 --> 00:16:36.053
  • Which nearly happened in butler,
  • 00:16:36.053 --> 00:16:37.488
  • Nearly happened again, actually, later on,
  • 00:16:37.488 --> 00:16:39.590
  • It it does feel like something just seismically has shifted
  • 00:16:39.590 --> 00:16:43.027
  • In the political order, and it's a lot bigger than some
  • 00:16:43.027 --> 00:16:45.830
  • One podcaster making nasty comments.
  • 00:16:45.830 --> 00:16:49.233
  • Or, i don't know, one democrat in congress.
  • 00:16:49.233 --> 00:16:51.902
  • It seems like this is a major shift of the whole left.
  • 00:16:51.902 --> 00:16:55.239
  • Yeah, it feels like the whole tree has
  • 00:16:56.073 --> 00:16:58.209
  • Has become rotten from the root and the it
  • 00:16:58.209 --> 00:17:02.546
  • It does feel like there is a seismic shift.
  • 00:17:02.546 --> 00:17:06.050
  • It's an ideological movement, wide shift.
  • 00:17:06.050 --> 00:17:08.986
  • And you could see it about the way that they talk
  • 00:17:08.986 --> 00:17:10.855
  • About president trump or they talk about charlie,
  • 00:17:10.855 --> 00:17:13.257
  • Nazi, fascist, bigot, racist, homophobe, xenophobe,
  • 00:17:13.257 --> 00:17:17.394
  • All of this language that is basically said
  • 00:17:17.394 --> 00:17:20.364
  • This movement is a bunch of nazis.
  • 00:17:20.364 --> 00:17:22.466
  • And what did we have to do with hitler?
  • 00:17:22.466 --> 00:17:23.701
  • We had to eventually, you know, take him out.
  • 00:17:23.701 --> 00:17:26.570
  • Right.
  • 00:17:26.570 --> 00:17:27.638
  • And i think that's becoming it more widely and widely
  • 00:17:27.638 --> 00:17:30.774
  • Accepted within the left wing, political movement.
  • 00:17:30.774 --> 00:17:33.410
  • Michael, those 10s then i gotta
  • 00:17:33.410 --> 00:17:35.246
  • I gotta take a profit timeout.
  • 00:17:35.246 --> 00:17:38.115
  • Just listen to joe biden.
  • 00:17:38.115 --> 00:17:39.416
  • Get it from the horse's mouth.
  • 00:17:39.416 --> 00:17:40.618
  • Is it the horse's mouth? some part of the horse.
  • 00:17:40.618 --> 00:17:42.786
  • When you say that
  • 00:17:42.786 --> 00:17:43.854
  • There's an existential threat to the country,
  • 00:17:43.854 --> 00:17:46.190
  • As he said about trump, existential
  • 00:17:46.190 --> 00:17:48.259
  • Threats are a justification for assassination.
  • 00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:50.761
  • I think they knew exactly what they were doing. show.
  • 00:17:50.761 --> 00:17:52.429
  • I want to bring in blake and mikey in the studio.
  • 00:17:52.429 --> 00:17:54.865
  • If they're still there for this conversation.
  • 00:17:54.865 --> 00:17:56.901
  • This is, really
  • 00:17:56.901 --> 00:17:58.002
  • Important stuff, actually, because it kind of went,
  • 00:17:58.002 --> 00:18:01.639
  • I think the night one right after ole miss.
  • 00:18:01.639 --> 00:18:04.041
  • Nobody really talked about it, michael.
  • 00:18:04.041 --> 00:18:05.976
  • But then the day after, the day after,
  • 00:18:05.976 --> 00:18:07.878
  • People are talking about that,
  • 00:18:07.878 --> 00:18:09.046
  • They think jd
  • 00:18:09.046 --> 00:18:10.181
  • Was so rude to his wife and he can't they can't believe
  • 00:18:10.181 --> 00:18:14.251
  • That he would want his wife to become a christian.
  • 00:18:14.251 --> 00:18:16.820
  • So let's play the
  • 00:18:16.820 --> 00:18:17.922
  • The clip from the old miss event 286 play it now.
  • 00:18:17.922 --> 00:18:21.992
  • Most sundays
  • 00:18:21.992 --> 00:18:22.760
  • You should come with me to church,
  • 00:18:22.760 --> 00:18:24.361
  • As i've told her
  • 00:18:24.361 --> 00:18:25.429
  • And i've said publicly and i'll say now,
  • 00:18:25.429 --> 00:18:26.997
  • In front of 10,000 of my closest friends,
  • 00:18:26.997 --> 00:18:29.633
  • Do i hope eventually that she is somehow moved
  • 00:18:29.633 --> 00:18:33.470
  • By the same thing that i was moved in by church?
  • 00:18:33.470 --> 00:18:36.106
  • Yeah, i honestly, i do wish that
  • 00:18:36.106 --> 00:18:38.409
  • Because i believe in the christian gospel
  • 00:18:38.409 --> 00:18:40.778
  • And i hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way.
  • 00:18:40.778 --> 00:18:44.081
  • So i wanted to bring in, you know,
  • 00:18:44.081 --> 00:18:47.151
  • Obviously mickey is the son of a pastor.
  • 00:18:47.151 --> 00:18:49.353
  • Blake is a catholic. you're a catholic.
  • 00:18:49.353 --> 00:18:51.889
  • We're all christians here.
  • 00:18:51.889 --> 00:18:53.557
  • Is that rude to say that you hope your wife would
  • 00:18:53.557 --> 00:18:57.194
  • Eventually one day see,
  • 00:18:57.194 --> 00:18:58.362
  • See the world and to have faith like you do?
  • 00:18:58.362 --> 00:19:00.798
  • Yeah.
  • 00:19:00.798 --> 00:19:01.465
  • I just i, i think it's crazy
  • 00:19:01.465 --> 00:19:03.767
  • Because christianity has proven you live a happier life.
  • 00:19:03.767 --> 00:19:07.471
  • Charlize talked about it was the missing piece
  • 00:19:07.471 --> 00:19:09.306
  • For everybody.
  • 00:19:09.306 --> 00:19:10.107
  • Once you found that missing piece,
  • 00:19:10.107 --> 00:19:11.342
  • You lived the life that that was there for you.
  • 00:19:11.342 --> 00:19:14.311
  • And he would argue
  • 00:19:14.311 --> 00:19:15.512
  • About the necessity of god over the existence of one.
  • 00:19:15.512 --> 00:19:18.616
  • And so no more than you would wish
  • 00:19:18.616 --> 00:19:21.151
  • Someone who's an alcoholic to no longer be an alcoholic.
  • 00:19:21.151 --> 00:19:23.854
  • Would you wish for them to find christianity
  • 00:19:23.854 --> 00:19:26.190
  • The missing piece that would bring them peace and happiness?
  • 00:19:26.190 --> 00:19:29.460
  • Yeah. it's, i don't know.
  • 00:19:29.460 --> 00:19:31.562
  • I basically have nothing to add over.
  • 00:19:31.562 --> 00:19:32.896
  • What what, mike, you said there,
  • 00:19:32.896 --> 00:19:34.164
  • It's it's very bizarre to say.
  • 00:19:34.164 --> 00:19:36.033
  • I guess, like jd vance wants what he thinks is best
  • 00:19:36.033 --> 00:19:39.703
  • For his spouse, whom he loves.
  • 00:19:39.703 --> 00:19:43.007
  • And, you know, someone has to come in.
  • 00:19:43.007 --> 00:19:44.642
  • And i'm proud of this has become quite
  • 00:19:44.642 --> 00:19:47.911
  • A controversy online i was looking at.
  • 00:19:47.911 --> 00:19:49.647
  • So jd is reacting to a clip
  • 00:19:49.647 --> 00:19:52.716
  • From was akin i never know how to say it guys.
  • 00:19:53.617 --> 00:19:56.353
  • His twitter handle but you know a lefty on twitter on x
  • 00:19:56.353 --> 00:19:59.723
  • And that thing has 10 million views
  • 00:19:59.723 --> 00:20:02.426
  • Like it's a lot of engagement.
  • 00:20:02.426 --> 00:20:03.961
  • Michael.
  • 00:20:03.961 --> 00:20:04.795
  • What what is this?
  • 00:20:04.795 --> 00:20:06.063
  • Just much ado about nothing.
  • 00:20:06.063 --> 00:20:07.831
  • I mean it's the the it's better than that. it.
  • 00:20:07.831 --> 00:20:10.701
  • Oh go ahead.
  • 00:20:10.701 --> 00:20:11.602
  • It's much it's much ado about something.
  • 00:20:11.602 --> 00:20:13.470
  • It's just something good.
  • 00:20:13.470 --> 00:20:14.838
  • I mean, i think we need to state it out the gate.
  • 00:20:14.838 --> 00:20:18.509
  • What jd and erica did was magnificent.
  • 00:20:18.509 --> 00:20:21.512
  • The fact that erica has
  • 00:20:21.512 --> 00:20:22.713
  • The strength to do this is just superhuman, first of all.
  • 00:20:22.713 --> 00:20:25.949
  • And then what
  • 00:20:25.949 --> 00:20:27.051
  • The vice president did in the q and a was magnificent.
  • 00:20:27.051 --> 00:20:29.853
  • I know we're all admirers of the vice president here.
  • 00:20:29.853 --> 00:20:32.756
  • He was pitch perfect.
  • 00:20:32.756 --> 00:20:35.225
  • I would not have changed one syllable about any answer
  • 00:20:35.225 --> 00:20:38.929
  • He gave.
  • 00:20:38.929 --> 00:20:39.763
  • It was just for a phenomenal showing
  • 00:20:39.763 --> 00:20:41.765
  • On all of these different matters
  • 00:20:41.765 --> 00:20:43.167
  • And some questions that were a little bit hostile.
  • 00:20:43.167 --> 00:20:44.968
  • And on this,
  • 00:20:44.968 --> 00:20:46.103
  • I think you're seeing the poison
  • 00:20:46.103 --> 00:20:48.272
  • Of secularism and atheism in our culture setting in
  • 00:20:48.272 --> 00:20:51.709
  • And people's reactions
  • 00:20:51.709 --> 00:20:53.110
  • Because it's not that they disagree
  • 00:20:53.110 --> 00:20:55.579
  • With the vice president on religion,
  • 00:20:55.579 --> 00:20:57.214
  • It's that they don't even seem to know what religion is.
  • 00:20:57.214 --> 00:21:00.751
  • But jd, jd understands what religion is
  • 00:21:00.751 --> 00:21:03.287
  • And he has a living faith.
  • 00:21:03.287 --> 00:21:04.521
  • And so as as we've all said here, he's
  • 00:21:04.521 --> 00:21:07.991
  • He wants what he believes to be good for his wife.
  • 00:21:07.991 --> 00:21:12.229
  • He recognizes that religion is not just like a taste.
  • 00:21:12.229 --> 00:21:14.898
  • You know, you like chocolate and i like vanilla.
  • 00:21:14.898 --> 00:21:16.967
  • He recognizes that religion is a habit, a virtue
  • 00:21:16.967 --> 00:21:20.037
  • That inclines the will to give to god what he deserves.
  • 00:21:20.037 --> 00:21:22.740
  • It's it's not a question of like or dislike.
  • 00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:24.942
  • It's a question of truth or falsehood.
  • 00:21:24.942 --> 00:21:27.444
  • And so he's being very respectful
  • 00:21:27.444 --> 00:21:29.680
  • To people of other faiths,
  • 00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:31.315
  • Including his wife, of course, but many other people too.
  • 00:21:31.315 --> 00:21:33.784
  • He's just saying, look, i have this view of religious truth.
  • 00:21:33.784 --> 00:21:36.987
  • And i think that truth and goodness and beauty
  • 00:21:36.987 --> 00:21:39.289
  • And all these things go together.
  • 00:21:39.289 --> 00:21:40.524
  • And so because i love my wife and by extension, by the way,
  • 00:21:40.524 --> 00:21:43.927
  • Because i love other people, i want to share that with you.
  • 00:21:43.927 --> 00:21:47.297
  • You know,
  • 00:21:47.297 --> 00:21:48.432
  • That is the great commission that that is the gospel.
  • 00:21:48.432 --> 00:21:50.501
  • That's the whole that's like the old point, guys.
  • 00:21:50.501 --> 00:21:53.070
  • And the fact that people would attack him for
  • 00:21:53.070 --> 00:21:55.639
  • It is one thing.
  • 00:21:55.639 --> 00:21:56.874
  • The fact that they don't even understand what he's saying
  • 00:21:56.874 --> 00:21:59.843
  • Is so damning about our culture and how we think
  • 00:21:59.843 --> 00:22:03.247
  • About the deepest questions.
  • 00:22:03.247 --> 00:22:04.982
  • I think that's exactly right.
  • 00:22:04.982 --> 00:22:06.350
  • Blake and mickey take us home at the end of this hour.
  • 00:22:06.350 --> 00:22:08.786
  • One with michael knowles. the floor is your guys's.
  • 00:22:08.786 --> 00:22:11.388
  • You have the other thing that i love to.
  • 00:22:11.388 --> 00:22:13.924
  • Not just the religious aspect of jd's speech, but
  • 00:22:13.924 --> 00:22:17.795
  • Also he's backstage and he just goes,
  • 00:22:17.795 --> 00:22:20.597
  • What was the thing that charlie used to always say?
  • 00:22:20.597 --> 00:22:22.766
  • That disagreements come to the front of the line,
  • 00:22:22.766 --> 00:22:25.369
  • And i was like, yeah, yeah, that's it.
  • 00:22:25.369 --> 00:22:27.004
  • And he goes, i'm going to do that tonight.
  • 00:22:27.004 --> 00:22:28.772
  • And i just keep telling everybody,
  • 00:22:28.772 --> 00:22:30.507
  • You can't even find a senator or a congressman or
  • 00:22:30.507 --> 00:22:33.310
  • Any person on the right who's a public speaker
  • 00:22:33.310 --> 00:22:36.180
  • That would welcome disagreements
  • 00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:38.248
  • To the front of the line, let alone the vice
  • 00:22:38.248 --> 00:22:40.150
  • President of the united states, who has much to lose.
  • 00:22:40.150 --> 00:22:43.020
  • But i hope it spreads because we've seen
  • 00:22:43.020 --> 00:22:44.955
  • How much better jd has gotten from
  • 00:22:44.955 --> 00:22:47.224
  • Just being in the arena all the time,
  • 00:22:47.224 --> 00:22:49.126
  • Whether it's on the sunday shows or doing
  • 00:22:49.126 --> 00:22:50.894
  • Something like this,
  • 00:22:50.894 --> 00:22:51.895
  • And think
  • 00:22:51.895 --> 00:22:52.996
  • How much better our politicians would be as a class
  • 00:22:52.996 --> 00:22:55.966
  • If this was expected.
  • 00:22:55.966 --> 00:22:56.900
  • Of all our senators and representatives,
  • 00:22:56.900 --> 00:22:59.670
  • Make them be smart people who can answer
  • 00:22:59.670 --> 00:23:01.638
  • Hostile questions on, you know, on the fly.
  • 00:23:01.638 --> 00:23:04.741
  • We'll get better politicians and that means better laws.
  • 00:23:04.741 --> 00:23:07.711
  • Yeah, it really reminds me of charlie.
  • 00:23:07.711 --> 00:23:09.580
  • Like, i just i see
  • 00:23:09.580 --> 00:23:11.014
  • A little bit of charlie and jd and how he does that.
  • 00:23:11.014 --> 00:23:14.017
  • Speaking of taking questions,
  • 00:23:14.017 --> 00:23:15.752
  • We're doing it in the next hour.
  • 00:23:15.752 --> 00:23:17.387
  • Yeah.
  • 00:23:17.387 --> 00:23:18.322
  • And michael knows we thank you my friend.
  • 00:23:18.322 --> 00:23:19.756
  • Making the time. appreciate you.
  • 00:23:19.756 --> 00:23:21.625
  • Good to be with you guys. thanks.
  • 00:23:21.625 --> 00:23:24.294
  • We truly are living in a historic time.
  • 00:23:25.095 --> 00:23:27.965
  • After 738 days, the 20 living israeli hostages
  • 00:23:27.965 --> 00:23:32.102
  • Have been released from captivity
  • 00:23:32.102 --> 00:23:34.338
  • And those who were killed will finally rest in peace near
  • 00:23:34.338 --> 00:23:36.773
  • Their loved ones. praise god!
  • 00:23:36.773 --> 00:23:38.575
  • In this time of celebration, our good friends
  • 00:23:38.575 --> 00:23:40.777
  • At the international fellowship of christians and jews
  • 00:23:40.777 --> 00:23:43.514
  • Send their deepest gratitude for your prayers
  • 00:23:43.514 --> 00:23:45.849
  • And unwavering support.
  • 00:23:45.849 --> 00:23:47.117
  • Thanks to you, the fellowship has provided
  • 00:23:47.117 --> 00:23:49.219
  • $300 million in emergency aid since october 7th,
  • 00:23:49.219 --> 00:23:53.223
  • Including millions in direct support for the hostages
  • 00:23:53.223 --> 00:23:56.226
  • And their families.
  • 00:23:56.226 --> 00:23:57.294
  • Of course, the road ahead is still a long one.
  • 00:23:57.294 --> 00:23:59.997
  • Much needs to be done to restore
  • 00:23:59.997 --> 00:24:01.665
  • And revive these victims of terrorism.
  • 00:24:01.665 --> 00:24:03.967
  • But that's exactly what the fellowship does.
  • 00:24:03.967 --> 00:24:06.036
  • For example,
  • 00:24:06.036 --> 00:24:06.937
  • They're assisting returned hostages,
  • 00:24:06.937 --> 00:24:08.839
  • Along with their families and friends, with immediate
  • 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.508
  • Medical, psychological and financial support.
