Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative on
Speaker 4: the Red Apple Podcast Network attention, dittoheads, attention bo scouts.
Speaker 3: Those by the student in most nerdly, it's time for
Speaker 3: the soul of excellence. He's a radio host here.
Speaker 5: In New York.
Speaker 4: The rush hour is on the air. Now here's James Golden.
Speaker 6: House of Representatives. Sir, I am deeply sorry to my
Speaker 6: family's staff and constituents for mistakes and judgment I've made
Speaker 6: in my past. I will fight the serious false allegations
Speaker 6: made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership
Speaker 6: for the mistakes I did make. I am aware of
Speaker 6: efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and
Speaker 6: other members, expelling anyone in Congress without due process within
Speaker 6: days of an allegation being made as well. But it's
Speaker 6: also wrong for my constituents to have to be distracted
Speaker 6: from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat
Speaker 6: in Congress, effective at two pm Eastern Time on April fourteenth,
Speaker 6: twenty twenty six. I will work with my staff in
Speaker 6: the coming days to ensure they are able and my
Speaker 6: absence to serve the needs of the good people of
Speaker 6: the fourteenth Congressional District. Signed, sincerely, Eric Swalwell under House.
Speaker 7: Yes, my friends, it's his official Eric is gone. Well
Speaker 7: say that it looks like Eric screw depuchia on this one.
Speaker 7: Eric Swalwell, ladies and gentlemen, no longer a member of
Speaker 7: the House of Representative. His resignation today, and that's sad
Speaker 7: news for some. I mean, after all, the much Scaramucci
Speaker 7: was on with Anderson Cooper and he said that he's
Speaker 7: gonna play the human side, my heart goes out to him.
Speaker 7: So Scaramuci is one among probably others expressing sadness that
Speaker 7: Eric Swolwell, at least momentarily seems to be without a
Speaker 7: career in the world of politics. The way things are going,
Speaker 7: his life may be filled with new opportunities, perhaps leading
Speaker 7: a group behind walls, you know, those those group therapy
Speaker 7: sessions for Well. I mean, it's premature to suggest that
Speaker 7: I was thinking about that today. You know, Harvey Weinstein
Speaker 7: is asking for a new child or doing.
Speaker 3: New stuff with that.
Speaker 7: You have Bill Cosby out there still in this thing
Speaker 7: with wy thing with Swalwell. Kind of remember the way
Speaker 7: Bill Bill Cosby started. One woman made an accusation. People
Speaker 7: were like, then another one, and then another one, and
Speaker 7: then another one, and then another one, another another another
Speaker 7: another another, another, another one, and pretty soon there was
Speaker 7: a whole magazine covers worth of women saying that Bill
Speaker 7: Cosby did things. So I wonder if this is what's
Speaker 7: gonna happen to, oh, Eric, because every day they're there
Speaker 7: are more people stepping forward. Headline in the SF Gate today,
Speaker 7: that's another one of these. San Francisco Bay Area website,
Speaker 7: San Francisco Chronicle, which which broke the story with mister Swalwell,
Speaker 7: is deeply involved with us of Gate and the headline.
Speaker 7: I think this is right out of Princess Diana's analysis.
Speaker 7: Swalwell fallout could finally launch standout Bay Area democrat in
Speaker 7: governor's race. The race to succeed Gavin Newsom is as
Speaker 7: wide open as Eric's Walwells fly no as as ever
Speaker 7: where the sudden nose of Representative erics wal Wall's withdrawal. Yes,
Speaker 7: ladies and gentlemen, he pulled out before the end, not
Speaker 7: only from the packed California governor's race, but also from
Speaker 7: Congress admit alarming allegations of sexual assault in this conduct.
Speaker 7: The competition to succeed Gavin Newsom is as wide open
Speaker 7: as ever. San Francisco Chronicle broke the news that a
Speaker 7: woman accused Walwell. It goes on and on about that,
Speaker 7: and then they talked to a long time poster who said,
Speaker 7: we've ventured yet another period of uncertainty in the governor's race.
Speaker 7: Race got off to a slow start when Kamala kept
Speaker 7: Dylan Dally in before she said she wasn't gonna run.
Speaker 3: I'm just summarizing what's the article largely.
Speaker 7: But then they're going to say that there are other
Speaker 7: contenders in the race, including a San Jose mayor by
Speaker 7: the name of Matt Mahon who's backed by Silicon Valid people,
Speaker 7: and what they're suggesting is she's gonna put some significant
Speaker 7: money in boosting up the profile. Now Swalwell's people's you know,
Speaker 7: he's still on the ballot. It is too late for
Speaker 7: him to be taking off the ballot. So Swalwells people
Speaker 7: are supposed to supposedly going to be discussed among some
Speaker 7: of the other candidates like Kate Porter and this Tom
Speaker 7: Steyer billionaire guy. But with Swarwell gone, as a chance
Speaker 7: for somebody that has some high favorabilities and some money
Speaker 7: to step in and take advantage of all of this,
Speaker 7: which is one of the things because there are still
Speaker 7: two Republicans sitting on top of the California governor's race,
Speaker 7: and that cannot be accepted in California politics.
Speaker 3: This is a very no pun intended.
Speaker 7: Fluid situation, sticky, some might call it, and it gets worse.
Speaker 7: Let's check in with one of Swallwell's dea dea friends.
Speaker 7: Send it to Ruben Galego of Arizona. Now, let's first
Speaker 7: go back ten days ago. You might remember this is
Speaker 7: how quickly this is unfolded, folks. You might remember a
Speaker 7: Mia ten days ago, we were all talking about, well
Speaker 7: some of us fang Fang because there were rumors in
Speaker 7: the press that the fang Fang files were going to
Speaker 7: be released, and Eric was having a fit about them.
Speaker 7: Didn't have a lawyers talking about sueing Old Cash Ptail
Speaker 7: and the FBI. We got to keep it all secret.
Speaker 7: We don't want the fang Fang files exposed selectioneering. That
Speaker 7: would be bad business. Ruben Glego, Democrat senator from Arizona,
Speaker 7: was on MS. Now that's cut seventeen, and remember this,
Speaker 7: this is good old Ruben. Ten days ago.
Speaker 8: Well, a number of congress a friend of mine who's
Speaker 8: now the front runner for a governor in California. The
Speaker 8: fact that you know from reports we're hearing is that
Speaker 8: you know, he's trying to politicize a report that came
Speaker 8: out years ago that actually clarified and exonerated Eric Swallow,
Speaker 8: and now they wanted to change that to benefit just
Speaker 8: you know, the president's narrative to try to stop Eric
Speaker 8: Swall from being governor. Why because he knows Number one,
Speaker 8: Eric Swallow is going to win the governorship of California.
Speaker 8: Number two, Eric Swall is the hardest fighter against Donald Trump.
Speaker 8: And if Eric Swell is governor of California, he's going
Speaker 8: to have the bully pulpit to go after Donald Trump
Speaker 8: unlike any other governor in this country, and they're going
Speaker 8: to do anything. They're going to corrupt the DOJ They're
Speaker 8: going to corrupt investigations, they're going to force people, you know,
Speaker 8: to give up the careers just for his little petty vendetta.
Speaker 8: And because he doesn't want someone like Donald like Donald
Speaker 8: Trump does want someone like Eric Swallow to be able
Speaker 8: to fight him every day to stop all the corruption
Speaker 8: that he's causing this country.
Speaker 7: That was a ten days ago. Now cut eighteen, Let's
Speaker 7: check in with Senator Ruben Galego today and here he is, Ruben.
Speaker 3: Aka one for being here. You're welcome.
Speaker 9: I called this toa because there's just a lot of
Speaker 9: rumors going around about me, about my family, and you know, unfortunately,
Speaker 9: this is not the first time I did deal with
Speaker 9: the SABS in twenty twenty four, at twenty twenty three,
Speaker 9: when they ran millions and millions of dollars of smears
Speaker 9: against me, light about me, lied about my family, and
Speaker 9: sustained damn people again Harry Lake, Chris Lasovida, a bunch
Speaker 9: of political operatives they couldn't do in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 9: trying to do again in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3: I want to make a couple of things very clear.
Speaker 9: Number One, Eric's Wall lied to all of us what
Speaker 9: he lies to the most powerful people in this country,
Speaker 9: and they trusted him. They trusted him with some the
Speaker 9: most sensitive They not govern that whether it was a
Speaker 9: Judiciary committee, Intel committee, impeaching Donald Trump, and that Cloud
Speaker 9: in my judgment, my friendship with him are families friendship
Speaker 9: together with him Cloud in my judgment, and I was wrong.
Speaker 9: I deeply, deeply regret that the women that came forward
Speaker 9: are courageous and they still deserve justice. But to be
Speaker 9: clear again, I also had no knowledge of predatory behavior,
Speaker 9: sexual assault, or harassment. And unfortunately, right now, the same
Speaker 9: people that are attacking in twenty twenty four are using
Speaker 9: this horrible situation, this horrible situation that's been thrown upon
Speaker 9: these women, thrown upon eric'swett was family and using this
Speaker 9: as an excuse to put it can attack me, lie
Speaker 9: about me, and lie about my family, and I will
Speaker 9: not take that lightly. So with that, I'll gladly take
Speaker 9: any questions because we're here and I'm not going to
Speaker 9: let the same same.
Speaker 7: Create m Sorry, he's poor guy. People asking him questions. No,
Speaker 7: he doesn't like it, all right, let's get along with
Speaker 7: the questions. Then that it cut nineteen. Here you go,
Speaker 7: Let's start off with the questions. Then let's have some
Speaker 7: questions for Senata.
Speaker 9: You know, I don't know what's going on with his family,
Speaker 9: but it's definitely a horrible situation for family. They're using
Speaker 9: that as a cover to attack me right now because
Speaker 9: they can't do it. They couldn't take back twenty twenty
Speaker 9: four because they ran a horrible race. But now this
Speaker 9: is what they want to do. They just want to
Speaker 9: hurt me as much as him, Presidents or anything else
Speaker 9: say that, I don't care. We're gonna wait, that's not
Speaker 9: even a thing right now. The most important thing is
Speaker 9: I want to protect my family. I want to protect
Speaker 9: my family's reputation. And this is why we're talking about
Speaker 9: right now.
Speaker 10: You've got on trips, on vacations, officially, unofficially, you've gone out,
Speaker 10: presumably with the congressman.
Speaker 9: You've never even witnessed him.
Speaker 3: I don't know, engaging in an affair.
Speaker 9: No, no.
Speaker 3: Some of the photos online, I know you address one,
Speaker 3: but there is another.
Speaker 6: One that she's both of you without shirts. I mean,
Speaker 6: how do you address some of those compromising photos?
Speaker 3: We were on a beach and the desert and some camels,
Speaker 3: and there's a beach and a camel for a beach ya,
Speaker 3: how do you address.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, how do you address some of those compromising photos?
Speaker 7: The guy doesn't have these in a photo without his shirt.
Speaker 7: The reporters are given these guys the republic can treatment.
Speaker 7: I'm telling you, so we'll just need to watch. How
Speaker 7: do you address the compromising photos? You and Eric both
Speaker 7: don't have shirts on. It's compromising. We're on a beach,
Speaker 7: you're on a camel. I'm sorry. Cut twenty more questions.
Speaker 9: The beginning, you said, when you first heard these rumors
Speaker 9: a few weeks ago, Oh, that's when you call them.
Speaker 11: Then you said, you've heard these rumors for years, So
Speaker 11: which one is a senator?
Speaker 8: So I heard rumors of him being flirty and.
Speaker 5: That wasn't an issue enough for you to not trust
Speaker 5: him to watch your kids.
Speaker 3: Or be close with him, because you know you hear this.
Speaker 9: And then when you're close to somebody and you you know,
Speaker 9: you know his wife, you see this, you see that relationship,
Speaker 9: you know that like it maybe just isn't.
Speaker 3: True when you first heard these rumors. Should you have.
Speaker 12: Acted when you first heard these rumors several years.
Speaker 3: Of the rumors are heard were that he was just
Speaker 3: a flirty social bide. That's it, okay?
Speaker 7: Well, cut twenty two and the hm, I can't stand.
Speaker 3: Like friends closer. Now this is again.
Speaker 9: I let this man into my family, trusted this man,
Speaker 9: and through some of the hardest things I've had to
Speaker 9: deal with, I trusted him with my family. Well, and
Speaker 9: it hurts, and it hurts the fact that he hurt
Speaker 9: a lot of people, and it pisses me off that
Speaker 9: now we all have to deal with all of his bs,
Speaker 9: his family, the poor victims that are still going to
Speaker 9: have to seek justice. And of course this is just
Speaker 9: this is a horrible situation.
Speaker 7: Yes, my friends, it's a horrible situation under the bus.
Speaker 7: Eric must go. I trusted him with my family. Exactly
Speaker 7: What did he trust him with his family to do?
Speaker 7: I'm not sure what that means exactly. And he was
Speaker 7: my friend. I trusted him. He is under the bus.
Speaker 7: Senator ruber Gel disavows his friend.
Speaker 3: Eric Swalwell.

Speaker 12: He was supposed to be one of the good guys.
Speaker 12: That's why it's just so disappointing.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, she's disappointed.
Speaker 7: James Goldman slurdly by the way, I like that cut,
Speaker 7: Carlos What what what?
Speaker 3: What? What? What? What Bieber? Cut? Was that that you
Speaker 3: just played?
Speaker 12: What was?
Speaker 3: Sorry?
Speaker 7: Come on, now, you act like I'm supposed to know
Speaker 7: his whole catalog? T J just trying, Sorry, idiot, Like
Speaker 7: you don't know that Justin Ber. Everybody knows Justin Bieber's songs.
Speaker 7: I missed the whole Tjer. I missed the whole Justin
Speaker 7: Bieber thing. I knew his name, but for the first
Speaker 7: year I just kept saying, what is a Bieber? So
Speaker 7: I didn't quite get it. I'm sorry, Yeah, but I
Speaker 7: like that cut. We're all But isn't he connected with
Speaker 7: one of these guys that that's in the pen for
Speaker 7: sexual problems?
Speaker 3: Like who is his mentor? Diddy? Was his? Was his mentor? Sure? Usher?
Speaker 3: Oh wait?
Speaker 7: And who's Usher's mentor? Diddy Diddy? So did we begat
Speaker 7: Usher and Usher begat Bieber? Is that how it works?
Speaker 3: I mean?
Speaker 7: There is Allegedly there was a fight between Bieber and
Speaker 7: Nasher during the oscars because of that, because Usher recruited
Speaker 7: Bieber for d D in a sense allegedly.
Speaker 3: I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 7: Wait a minute, Oh, never mind, we have business to do.
Speaker 7: We're gonna have to pick this discussion up because I
Speaker 7: want to know the backstories.
Speaker 15: Do it.
Speaker 7: You guys can teach me, all right. So you heard
Speaker 7: the woman poor Alana drus with swol Wol's story, which
Speaker 7: is a horrific story. And uh, it is just looking
Speaker 7: like this thing could go. But I wanted before we
Speaker 7: get out of here, Princess Diana, I know you're out
Speaker 7: there to me, Princess Diana. This confirms your theory like
Speaker 7: nothing else has confirmed your theory. I have one cut
Speaker 7: which confirms that Princess Diana's theory about all of this
Speaker 7: and how this came to be is one hundred percent
Speaker 7: dead on, accurate and right cut eight. It is a
Speaker 7: CNN Dana Bash report.
Speaker 16: In the case of Eric Swalwell, the former speaker and
Speaker 16: Feller fellow California, Nancy Pelosi, I am told, picked up
Speaker 16: the phone and called Swallwell on Friday night and said
Speaker 16: you got to drop out of the governor's race, because
Speaker 16: remember he was a leading candidate, and also made clear
Speaker 16: that he should resign from Congress. She was at GW
Speaker 16: with our old friend and colleague, Frank Sesno yesterday and
Speaker 16: he asked about the situation.
Speaker 10: If you have a challenge that you have to address,
Speaker 10: it's best addressed not as a.
Speaker 9: Candidate for governor and not as a member of company.
Speaker 8: Some of some Republicans and others are saying that Democrats
Speaker 8: turned kind of a blind eye, that they knew.
Speaker 3: What he was of.
Speaker 17: Now that is absolutely positive.
Speaker 7: That confirms it. This was a political operation from the
Speaker 7: very beginning. And that doesn't say that these things didn't happen.
Speaker 7: But the Democrats have known who he is, and you
Speaker 7: cannot tell me that they did not know that this
Speaker 7: was going on, because rumors have been swirling about him
Speaker 7: for years. Pelosi personally picked up the phone to swaba, ok,
Speaker 7: Palell get out and not only are you getting out
Speaker 7: of the governor's race, you're getting out of the House too.
Speaker 7: It came from the boss, Pelosi. Bechames, Bechames hawking. Jeffries
Speaker 7: is the bow came Jeffries is not the boss of
Speaker 7: the Democrat House Caucus. Nancy Pelosi still is. Jeffries is
Speaker 7: just a figurehead, a DEI figurehead in place to play
Speaker 7: Kate the coalitions. Everybody knows well, most people know that
Speaker 7: Nancy still runs the house. Come on, okay, let's move
Speaker 7: on to some other things, because other things are out there.
Speaker 7: I want to touch briefly on this because this is
Speaker 7: not going to receive a hell of a lot of attention, even.
Speaker 3: Though it should.
Speaker 7: Cut fourteen Acting Attorney General Todd blanche On at.
Speaker 14: Folks, welcome back to the Department of Justice, releasing a
Speaker 14: bombshell report on the weaponization of government. It claims the
Speaker 14: Biden Justice Department, led by former Attorney General Mary Garland,
Speaker 14: weaponized the law to target pro life defendants and tried
Speaker 14: to give them longer prison sentences. And that includes the
Speaker 14: case of pro life activist Mark Howk, the father of seven,
Speaker 14: was charged with obstructing access to an abortion clinic. A
Speaker 14: swat team of more than a dozen people rated his home,
Speaker 14: arresting him in front of his children. He faced up
Speaker 14: to eleven years in prison. A jury later acquitted him.
Speaker 14: You remember we covered this story and here he is
Speaker 14: on America's newsroom after that.
Speaker 15: Look, I'm a pro lifer, and I've been a pro lifer.
Speaker 15: I've been an activist for twenty plus years, and.
Speaker 3: You know, we all know what happening.
Speaker 15: But the federal government did come after me with the
Speaker 15: full force of the law and rated my home on
Speaker 15: September twenty third as response to that. And you know,
Speaker 15: here we are four months after that raid, vindicated hopefully
Speaker 15: with no issue with appeal.
Speaker 14: Me remember that well, well, Acting Attorney General Todd Blant
Speaker 14: is with us here. Thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 14: I want to put a couple of statistics here, averaged
Speaker 14: twenty six point eight months for pro life defendants versus
Speaker 14: twelve point three months for pro abortion offenders. And this
Speaker 14: from a Biden official. Former Biden official saying, the Civil
Speaker 14: Rights Division brought law enforcement leaders, crisis pregnancies and are
Speaker 14: represented as faith leaders, and reproductive health care staff together
Speaker 14: to address the real violence, threats of violence and obstruction
Speaker 14: that too many people face in our country when it
Speaker 14: comes to reproductive healthcare. We enforce the law even handedly
Speaker 14: and put public safety at the center of this work.
Speaker 14: I imagine you disagree with that.
Speaker 5: I do, and I disagree not because it's just my opinion.
Speaker 5: I disagree because of the work that we did over
Speaker 5: the past year at the Department understanding what happened that
Speaker 5: led to these completely inappropriate results, And prosecutors have a
Speaker 5: big say in sentencings in the federal system. The judgels
Speaker 5: may impose a sentence. But what we saw as prosecutors
Speaker 5: arguing for really harsh sentences, inconsistent with what they should
Speaker 5: have been doing and inconsistent with what they were arguing
Speaker 5: when it was exactly the opposite. And we saw internal emails,
Speaker 5: internal correspondence which is now part of the report, where
Speaker 5: Department of Justice prosecutors are working hand in hand with
Speaker 5: NGOs and nonprofits to target and go after pro life,
Speaker 5: pro life individuals who were not breaking the law. Okay,
Speaker 5: and I'll tell you what. There's no emails. There's no
Speaker 5: emails in my inbox from NGOs telling me what to do.
Speaker 5: And it's disappointing.
Speaker 7: And I hope there are some criminal charges, not just
Speaker 7: a bunch of talk. These people, these NGOs have participated
Speaker 7: and the people that did this, this unfair meeting out
Speaker 7: of so called justice, should be held to account. Pro
Speaker 7: life is let's go after them, let's target them, let's
Speaker 7: throw them in jail, guilty or not guilty of anything.
Speaker 7: And by the way, do you notice that some things
Speaker 7: just get glossed over in these reports. They came and
Speaker 7: arrested this man in front of his family and his child.
Speaker 7: They separated him from his family, They detained him and
Speaker 7: took him away from his family in front of his children.
Speaker 7: That's all you hear the left scream about when Ice
Speaker 7: comes and does what they're supposed to do. Not one
Speaker 7: complaint from anybody on the left. Moving on, we have
Speaker 7: other things to cover. I like to visit The Abbey Show.
Speaker 7: Hal Lambert was a guest on The Abbey Show and
Speaker 7: listen to the way they tried to shut him down.
Speaker 7: Cut three when he talks about the Pope and Donald Trump,
Speaker 7: this controversy that has been brillying in the press since yesterday.
Speaker 7: Just listen it the way they try to shut him
Speaker 7: down and shut him up when he goes into certain
Speaker 7: factual information.
Speaker 18: Political okay, this is all about trying to hurt President
Speaker 18: Trump's Catholic vote during the midterms and Republicans during the midterms.
Speaker 18: If you look at what play out the dots here,
Speaker 18: David Axelrod goes some visits.
Speaker 3: Let me finish.
Speaker 18: According but let's let him finish the first. David Axelrod
Speaker 18: goes and visits Pope Leo. Last week they're talking about
Speaker 18: Obama going to visit pop Leo. Pope Leo's from Chicago.
Speaker 18: All of a sudden, now pop Leo is out attacking
Speaker 18: Trump and the policies of the United States and Israel
Speaker 18: in a way, well, in a much more forceful way.
Speaker 18: You have three cardinals come out today attacking the immigration policy.
Speaker 18: This is all about trying to get the Catholic vote
Speaker 18: against Trump. And let me add one more thing.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 19: There's there's no flaws well, including that none of the actual.
Speaker 3: Strategist for a bomb saying he's not political. Why is he?
Speaker 18: Meaning with the chief strategists for both Obama's campaigns and
Speaker 18: in the White House, the Pope would he have a
Speaker 18: possible reason to meet with a chi.
Speaker 3: Met with jd Vance.
Speaker 19: Pope Francis was extremely.
Speaker 3: Critical Jadvan and Vice President the United States.
Speaker 19: Hold on a second, Pope Francis was extremely critical of Trump.
Speaker 19: He was extremely critical of the immigration rhetoric from Trump
Speaker 19: and his allies.
Speaker 3: He still met. Let me have one.
Speaker 19: What's the conspiracy?
Speaker 18: Here's well, because here let me ask you this, why
Speaker 18: has Cope Leo been when when Iran killed thirty thousand
Speaker 18: plus of their own citizens. He didn't call out the
Speaker 18: Iranian regime at all. He said we need to stop violence.
Speaker 18: That was very milk toast. That wasn't calling out the
Speaker 18: Iranian regime. And yet he's calling out the United States.
Speaker 18: But Jesus was a peace maker.
Speaker 3: You Yeah, they did not like that at all, called
Speaker 3: it out. Now.
Speaker 7: Met Cook was on the BBC and this is cut too.
Speaker 7: She adds her opinion to this mix on this contra.
Speaker 3: My gosh, unbelievable.
Speaker 12: Oh folks, hey, thoughts the heck, not just on the image,
Speaker 12: but the fact that it was taken down.
Speaker 17: Look, I think that there's this moral outrage in the
Speaker 17: media today anytime the White House puts something up, even
Speaker 17: in justin and joke. And I find it ironic because
Speaker 17: the same mainstream media actually never protects Christians. They actually
Speaker 17: never stand up. Look at what happened in Minneapolis as
Speaker 17: Christians were praying on a Sunday. They had rioters come in,
Speaker 17: they were dragged out of the church as children were terrified,
Speaker 17: and most mainstream media didn't even want to cover it.
Speaker 17: So I don't play in this humor game because I
Speaker 17: think media tries to blow it out of proportion. But
Speaker 17: I do think President Trump has a point about the Pope.
Speaker 17: It is one thing to talk about the human cost
Speaker 17: of war. It's another thing to take your pope pad
Speaker 17: off and act like the president of the United States
Speaker 17: and talk about the military and intelligence that he has
Speaker 17: no business talking about. And there is a just war
Speaker 17: doctrine in Catholicism. I'm a new Catholic seven to eight years.
Speaker 17: That's new to me, and I've learned about the just
Speaker 17: war doctrine. When you see innocent lives being threatened, when
Speaker 17: you see America being threatened, President Trump did everything right,
Speaker 17: and for the Pope to come out and then wave
Speaker 17: his religious wand and start attacking the president on the
Speaker 17: world stage is just wrong.
Speaker 7: We've had the post, yeah, and so you look today
Speaker 7: in the in Washington Post, Trump's attacks on Pope Leo
Speaker 7: create fresh mid term headaches for GOP. Well, my response
Speaker 7: to that is if the gop lets that define it
Speaker 7: then find what should be under discussion is the Pope's
Speaker 7: attack on Donald Trump and on America and on America's
Speaker 7: right to defend itself from the number one state sponsor
Speaker 7: of terrorism. And look, I am not going to get
Speaker 7: into a whole personality thing with the Pope, whether he
Speaker 7: believed I have always.
Speaker 3: You know, it's so strange to me. I'm not a Catholic, but.
Speaker 7: I I've said many times I love going to Mass.
Speaker 3: When I go, I I.
