1 00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:25,679 Speaker 1: And welcome one and all. Hi, how are you welcome 2 00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:31,960 to the Big Podcast on this Thursday. Today is the 3 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:37,079 twenty sixth day of February, Year of Our Lord, twenty 4 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,600 twenty six, so it's two twenty six, twenty six. Numerologists 5 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,359 love that sort of stuff, So welcome to the podcast. So, 6 00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:48,240 I mean, we've got we've got a number of things 7 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,359 that we'll get you up to date on the Iran talks, 8 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,119 what's going on with Cuba. We've we've got a law 9 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,640 in California about releasing child molesters. I've got it. I've 10 00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:02,039 got to share with you. It's out. But let's start 11 00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:06,000 with the Big I don't know. The Clintons just seemed 12 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,599 to attract the media. Wherever they go. The media is 13 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,200 in trail by in spades, and so this is an 14 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,159 interesting lead up. This is about the Oversight Committee has 15 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:26,920 been interviewing people regarding the Epstein files, and over the 16 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,799 months they brought in a lot of people and have 17 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,159 testified some openly, some behind closed doors. I don't like 18 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,319 the behind closed doors idea. So on the list they said, well, 19 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,200 why don't we invite because Bill Clinton is definitely in 20 00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:46,280 a number of pages of the Epstein files, why don't 21 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:53,519 we invite him and also Hillary, and they got invited 22 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,599 and they said gee, thanks, but no thanks, and then 23 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,560 they said, well, no, we really want you to come, 24 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,760 and they said no. And then you get into the 25 00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:05,159 whole question about can you make a president or former 26 00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:12,280 president appear before Congress? And there have been I've seen 27 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,000 a lot of reports today that this is the first 28 00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:18,280 time ever, No, actually Abraham Lincoln testify before Congress. I 29 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,759 mean there's been two or three occasions, but it's not often. 30 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,759 And so tomorrow is the deposition with Bill Clinton. Today 31 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,759 I guess it's a deposition, and today is Hillary Clinton. 32 00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:39,039 And what happened was they kept saying no to the 33 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:45,360 Oversight Committee until the Oversight Committee, including a bunch of Democrats, 34 00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:51,000 voted in favor of issuing a subpoena. You must come 35 00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:54,560 and appear, and if you don't, then you get into 36 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,439 the same vote that Peter Navarro and Steve Benn got into, 37 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:11,639 get prosecuted and go to jail. So then the Oversight 38 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,520 Committee said, well, we'll do it behind closed doors, and 39 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,280 the Clintons said no, we wanted to be in public, 40 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,120 and the Oversight Committee said no, we wanted behind closed doors. 41 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,560 Now this is being taped and the transcripts will be 42 00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:33,719 out fairly soon with I don't know hours or maybe days. 43 00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:37,800 But the whole idea that was explained to me was 44 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:45,639 that the Republicans who run the Oversight Committee were nervous about, 45 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:54,759 especially Hillary, using the public hearings to shred Donald Trump 46 00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:00,080 over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. So that's what And 47 00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:04,240 you know, she's crafty enough and smart enough to figure 48 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,800 out a way to turn the tables and make Donald 49 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,240 Trump look bad in this area. So they said, okay, okay, okay, 50 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,560 behind closed doors, and the and the Clintons finally said yes. 51 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,800 Now instead of going to Washington, d C. Like most 52 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,000 people who get subpoena to testify before Congress, Congress came 53 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,560 to them. They live. They have a home in d C. 54 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,720 But they have a home in Chappaqua, New York. It's 55 00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:35,480 actually not far from my home. Beautiful neighborhood. I've been 56 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,720 by the well the street that goes up to their home. 57 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,240 You can look up the street when you drive by, 58 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,399 and there's they've got secret service people out there. Yep. 59 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,360 You can't get up to their house. So anyway, they're 60 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:54,040 they're in this lovely neighborhood Chappaqua, New York, and the 61 00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:00,879 oversight Committee, I guess they flew up to White Plains, 62 00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:03,560 probably put him in a couple of buses, brought them 63 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,360 over to the house. And that's it's not the house. Actually, 64 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,600 it's a cool building. Readers Digest used to be a 65 00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:15,279 big thing. They were so big that they spent a 66 00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:22,240 whole bunch of money on this enormous, gorgeous, beautiful office building. 67 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,360 It looks like a palace sitting up on the side 68 00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:32,279 of a hill in suburban Westchester, New York. That is 69 00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:38,079 where the depositions will be taken today. It's called the 70 00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:42,439 Quad Performing Arts Center or something like that. Now because 71 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,639 Readers Digest went bankrupt, and it's because they spend so 72 00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:50,079 much money, probably on this building. All right, so let's 73 00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:54,399 get to it. So they Congress came to them. It's 74 00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:57,720 that the Reader's Digest building. But let's start off with 75 00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:02,319 one of the members of the site committee. David mim 76 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,040 is a Congressman from southern California, a Democrat, and he's 77 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,120 all confused. 78 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little curious as to why we call 79 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,959 it in the Secretary Clinton because her name's not in 80 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,000 the Epstein files as far as I'm aware, not in 81 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,759 any kind of meaningful way. Bill Clinton. I think there's 82 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,600 a case to be made because he is in the 83 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,920 Epstein files, and I don't know exactly what chera comer's 84 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,560 agenda is. It does look partisan, and one of the 85 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,920 points I've made is let's bring in everybody. Let's bring 86 00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:32,480 in Bill Clinton, but let's also bring in Rfk and 87 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,360 Elon Musk and Howard Lutnik, and yes, Donald Trump as well, 88 00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:38,160 because his name is all over the Epstein cus. But 89 00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:41,519 we should be trying to seek answers from anyone whose 90 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,199 name is in there as a notable figure, anyone who 91 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,000 is potentially a co conspirator. But we're only, it appears, 92 00:06:48,079 --> 00:06:50,279 going after Democrats right now, and I think that's why 93 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,399 a lot of folks feel like this investigation is partisan. 94 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:56,959 Speaker 1: Well, I have to remind him that a majority of 95 00:06:57,079 --> 00:07:01,360 Democrats on the Oversight Committee voted to subpoena Hillary and Bill, 96 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,160 so they're trying. I think they're trying to be nonpartisan. 97 00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:10,519 But if he doesn't know why Hillary everybody's walking around, go, 98 00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:12,879 I don't see why we're inviting her. I mean, she 99 00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:16,120 had nothing to do with and she has said, I've 100 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,519 never met the man. I have never met the man. Okay, fine, 101 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,199 The question is about he was a billionaire and where 102 00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:28,399 did his money go. Did he go to the Clinton Foundation? 103 00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:31,480 Did he go to remember all the nonprofits that the 104 00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:36,439 Clinton's put together to get wealthy off of. That is 105 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,480 being looked into because we know that he donated some money. 106 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,399 It's not a lot to him. Twenty five thousand dollars 107 00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:51,399 is one one transaction if you look at actually, if 108 00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:53,600 you go back to Open Secrets and take a look, 109 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,680 Jeffrey Epstein donated a lot of money to a lot 110 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,720 of Democrats and to some Republicans. He was by yeah, 111 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,560 while he went with whoever he thought could do something 112 00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:08,360 for him, mostly Democrats, but there were a lot of 113 00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:11,519 Republicans as well that he donated money to. But the 114 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,360 donation and his involvement with the Clinton Foundation and other 115 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,399 Clinton nonprofits is what Hillary is there for. That's what 116 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:27,800 it's all about. So David Axelrod, former advisor to President Obama, 117 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,720 the Democrat guy, this is his observation. 118 00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:34,639 Speaker 3: Well, look, obviously there's going to be a lot of 119 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,879 interest in it because this is like watching a slow 120 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,720 rolling neutron bomb. I mean, it's just like radiating out 121 00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:48,320 globally this Epstein's story, and it's become symbolic of the 122 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:53,639 ability of wealthy elites to do as they please without 123 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,919 any accountability. And so it's become a huge issue. And 124 00:08:57,919 --> 00:08:59,840 of course the Republicans would like to shift at ten 125 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,840 in Congress to uh President Clinton, any prominent Democrat uh, 126 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,799 and away from this president. And so I expect they're 127 00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:14,960 gonna they're gonna ask some, you know, very probing questions. 128 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: But uh, okay, but let's go to the chairman of 129 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,919 the committee, James Comer, and get his take on He 130 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,360 kind of held a little many news conference outside the 131 00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:33,240 Reader's Digest building before they started the the hearing certain documents. 132 00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 4: Then the motion was amended by Scott Perry uh to 133 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,600 include subpoenas for various names. I think there were eight 134 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:47,600 names originally, including Bill and Hillary Clinton. Everyone that was 135 00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:52,000 included in that subpoena has already either been interviewed by 136 00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:55,399 the Oversight Committee or sent in a statement that they 137 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,399 had never met Epstein and had no no knowledge of 138 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,679 the investigation except the Clintons. We worked for six months 139 00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:05,720 to get the Clintons to come in, and then they 140 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,519 acted like they were going to come in, and then 141 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,159 they didn't show up, and obviously we moved to hold 142 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,000 the Clintons in contempt. And I think one thing that 143 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,000 surprised the Clintons they assumed the Democrats on the committee 144 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,519 would vote in a partisan manner and not vote to 145 00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:25,039 hold the Clintons in contempt. And what they learned was 146 00:10:25,039 --> 00:10:29,480 a majority of the Democrats on the committee either voted 147 00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:32,320 to hold the Clinton's in contempt or voted present. And 148 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,080 I think that's a statement that this investigation is serious. 149 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,120 It is a bipartisan investigation. The American people have a 150 00:10:40,159 --> 00:10:44,320 lot of questions. To my knowledge, the Clintons haven't answered 151 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,600 very many, if any, questions about their knowledge or involvement 152 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,720 with Epstein and Maxwell. Again, no one's accusing at this 153 00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:54,720 moment the Clintons of any wrongdoing. They're going to have 154 00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:57,360 due process. But we have a lot of questions, and 155 00:10:57,399 --> 00:11:00,399 the purpose of the whole investigation is to try to 156 00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:05,639 understand many things about Epstein. How did he accumulate so 157 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,720 much wealth, how was he able to surround himself with 158 00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:12,360 some of the most powerful men in the world. Was 159 00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:16,759 he an asset for our government or any other government. 160 00:11:17,039 --> 00:11:19,480 These are the questions that we're going to ask over 161 00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:22,120 the next two days, and hopefully we'll be able to 162 00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:25,240 get some answers. And as always, we're going to release 163 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,799 the transcripts. We're going to release the video as soon 164 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,320 as everyone has approved it the normal process and a 165 00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:35,200 deposition as the attorneys would have the opportunity to review 166 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,360 the transcript or review the video to make sure that 167 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,759 there are no heirrors. And this is going to be 168 00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:42,919 a long video because this is going to be a 169 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,080 long deposition. Today will be a long deposition, I would assume, 170 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:50,000 and tomorrow will be an even longer deposition. Every member 171 00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:53,799 of the Oversight Committee is going to have questions for 172 00:11:53,919 --> 00:11:57,840 the Clintons as well as our trained staff that do 173 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,519 nothing but deposition. After our hour of questioning, we're going 174 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,919 to send a couple of members of the Oversight Committee 175 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,399 out to be able to give you an update of 176 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,159 what's going on and answer some questions. So with Dad 177 00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:12,799 will answer a question or two, and then we'll go 178 00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:14,840 back to color. 179 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 5: Are you concerned that there has been a cover sell you? 180 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,879 What use of a minor my President Trump that I'm 181 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,559 missing FBI records. 182 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 4: Now we're looking into the accusation by the NPR. Uh, 183 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,080 we don't know that the answer to that, we know 184 00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:33,679 what the administration says. We're still looking to to uh 185 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,879 get a definitive answer on that. But look, let's let's 186 00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:39,720 just be realistic here. If you go by a lot 187 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,399 of what the Democrats have said, you had Jasmine Crockett 188 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,559 accused Lee's elden have taken donations from Jeffrey Epstein. It 189 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,720 was the wrong Jeffrey Epstein. We've had ro Cotta sit 190 00:12:49,799 --> 00:12:51,919 on the floor and name names of people that were 191 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,200 he thought were involved in Epstein that weren't even involved. So, uh, 192 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,840 you know, sometimes the Democrats on the committee are to bests. 193 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 6: What about the. 194 00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,159 Speaker 7: Idea though that I understand you. You said that this 195 00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:05,000 is different with some of the members or some of 196 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,679 the peoples who were subpoena if he didn't have his 197 00:13:06,759 --> 00:13:09,600 direct content. But some folks have said it seems like 198 00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:13,159 you're the Clintons are basically on trial here versus people 199 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,200 who know more about the you know, what was going 200 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,399 on as Maxwell, what was going on it was Epstein, 201 00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:20,600 and that this is really kind of dragging them through 202 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:20,960 the mud. 203 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:21,759 Speaker 1: When there are other ways. 204 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 4: So let's let's address that, Chad. The Democrats voted to 205 00:13:27,399 --> 00:13:30,720 subpoena the Clintons. The Democrats voted with the Republicans to 206 00:13:30,759 --> 00:13:33,399 hold the Clintons in contempt. So the Democrats have just 207 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,279 as many questions for the Clintons as the Republicans. So 208 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,360 this isn't a partisan witch. This was a motion, a 209 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,639 bipartisan motion supported by the Democrats to bring the Clintons in. 210 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,320 So I don't think it to any type of being 211 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,480 unfair in any way to the Clintons. They never answered questions, 212 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,799 unlike President Trump, forgets questioned every day just about every 213 00:13:56,799 --> 00:13:59,639 one of you about his knowledge or involved with Epstein. 214 00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:03,360 To my knowledge, the Clintons haven't answered very many questions. 215 00:14:04,879 --> 00:14:07,639 Speaker 8: Question for ahead start a bipartisanship, would you then ask 216 00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:09,679 the Commerce Secretary Howard Lunn if you come has to 217 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:15,000 buy it seems like you have something from. 218 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 4: That's very possible. And I think there, you know, I 219 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,519 think it's a good possibility that his name will arise 220 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,799 in some questioning today. 221 00:14:19,879 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 9: It will be on my list and nine credit off 222 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,919 for Hillary asked about Howard Lutnik today And. 223 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 4: So guys watching, we're asking again. Uh, And I want 224 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,679 to remind everyone we've already brought in Alex Acosta and 225 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,440 Bill Barr for deposition. That's two Republicans in the in 226 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,240 the Trump administration. So this isn't just about Democrats. This 227 00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:43,759 is about anyone that has any knowledge of Epstein the investigation. 228 00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:47,240 I think we all agree the government failed. The government 229 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,840 failed the victims, and what our role is. We can't 230 00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:53,919 we can't prosecute anyone, but what we have been doing 231 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,120 is getting transparencies of American people. We subpoenaed the estate 232 00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,919 that had nothing to do with the dischart for tw 233 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,759 we subpoenaed the documents for the estate. That's what the 234 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,480 victims asked us to do. And what you're seeing is 235 00:15:06,879 --> 00:15:10,000 there is accountability finally happening. You've seen at least a 236 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,679 dozen very powerful people, men and women who have already resigned, 237 00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:20,639 many in disgrace, from their board positions. So we're seeing accountability, 238 00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:24,279 but we have a desire to see a lot more accountability. 239 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,159 We want to get the answers and hopefully the next 240 00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:29,600 two days will be a step in the right direction 241 00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:30,120 of our. 242 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,399 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, they are politicians, so none of us 243 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,720 believe the fact that they won't be political, but it 244 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,720 should be a political it should be not it should 245 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:48,320 be bipartisan. Actual Rod was talking about this is like 246 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,519 a neutron bomb that's rolling out there across the world. 247 00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:56,480 It really is. It's one of those where the people 248 00:15:56,519 --> 00:15:58,679 that are in well, when we look, I got a 249 00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:02,519 little short list here, so some of the people. Larry Summers, 250 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,759 former Treasury secretary, former president of Harvard. He's been teaching 251 00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:11,559 at Harvard and he has said he's resigning at the 252 00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:16,720 end of the semester. Peter Mandelsson, the UK ambassador to 253 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:24,240 the United States. His emails were weird. He would sign 254 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,159 off on emails to and in the language about how 255 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,879 much he loved Jeffrey Epstein and love you and XO 256 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,240 XO and very gay of him. Maybe he's a gay man. 257 00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:40,679 I don't know. I didn't know that well. Epstein may 258 00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:44,080 have gone both ways. We don't know. Thomas Pritzker, who 259 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,159 is the brother of the governor of Illinois. He's stepped 260 00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:51,639 down as the head of the Hyatt Corporation. Brad Karp. 261 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,480 One of the biggest most powerful white shoe law firms 262 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,200 in New York is Paul Weiss. Brad carp was the 263 00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:04,279 lead partner. He stepped down from that. Casey Wasserman a 264 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:10,279 huge Hollywood agent. He has put his agency up for 265 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:16,119 sale and has resigned. Doctor Peter Attia was just signed 266 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:21,160 on to be a medical contributor for CBS. He resigned. 267 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,559 Steve Bannon is on the list. I mean, these are 268 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:30,880 big names. But you heard in the question about the 269 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,759 fifty three pages that are missing and about a young 270 00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:40,920 woman who accused Donald Trump of abusing her, and that's 271 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,240 all missing. So that's also kind of out in the 272 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,680 weeds to be to be discovered. Here's Hillary a couple 273 00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:54,119 of days ago being interviewed about going in to do 274 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,319 this deposition today. 275 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,599 Speaker 9: I think everybody should testify who was asked. I just 276 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,160 wanted to be fair. I want everybody treated the same way. 277 00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:08,359 That's not true for my husband and me, because other 278 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,319 witnesses were asked to testify, they gave written statements under oath. 279 00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:16,599 We offered that they want to pull us. Why did 280 00:18:16,599 --> 00:18:19,559 they want to pull us into this to divert attention 281 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:20,680 from President Trump? 282 00:18:20,759 --> 00:18:22,039 Speaker 10: This is not complicated. 283 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: It took forever for them to finally agree to cooperate 284 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,920 with this committee, and so far, what we're hearing, is 285 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,920 that Hillary is doing exactly as people thought she would do. 286 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,079 She's going, I don't know the man, I never met 287 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,960 the man. I don't know what you're talking about. And oh, 288 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,799 by the way, if you want to know something, why 289 00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:46,559 don't you get Donald Trump in here? So that's exactly 290 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,400 what people thought she would do. Jason Shavit's the former congressman. 291 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,480 He's been doing a contributor role for Fox. He went 292 00:18:54,519 --> 00:18:56,880 out and did the reporter role. He's out at the 293 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,000 Reader's Digest building in Chappaqua. This is what he had 294 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,079 to say. This is just before the hearing got underway. 295 00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 6: Well, they live close by. They're about to show up 296 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,279 and they'll essentially be in a conference room. The Clinton's 297 00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:13,680 had the opportunity to testify in an open hearing in Washington. 298 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:13,559 Speaker 8: D C. 299 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 6: They refuse to do so. So James Comber did the 300 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,119 right thing, issued a subpoena. The was bipartisan in its vote, 301 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,559 and now they get to do it the hard way, 302 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:24,440 which is a transcribed interview, which means they go for 303 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,640 an hour, take a quick break than the other side. 304 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,920 Democrats will go for an hour, and they'll toggle back 305 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,039 and forth for an untold number of hours time we 306 00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:37,000 actually get to ask questions unimpeded for an hour of 307 00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:41,680 Hillary Clinton. That's unprecedented. Even you know Trey Goudy in 308 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,720 the Select Committee on ben Goza, they didn't get to 309 00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:46,359 do that. This is a different format and it's much 310 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,359 more difficult. Yeah, Hillary Clinton's deposition is going to be 311 00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:51,799 very different than Bill Clinton's. Bill Clinton's going to be 312 00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:54,880 about the island and the sex trafficking and what was 313 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,519 his personal involvement and explain these photos. Hillary Clinton's going 314 00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:00,599 to be about the Clinton Foundation, to be about the 315 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:04,200 Clinton Initiative, about the flow of money and how the money, 316 00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:07,519 what kind of influence and influence peddling, because people like 317 00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:11,319 at Jeffrey Epstein snuggle up to these politicians. The question 318 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,599 then is what influence did the Clintons use? 319 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: And Yeah, so they've they're at loggerheads and I think 320 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:24,759 Hillary she's tough, she's aggressive. The committee is going to 321 00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:29,119 go after her, So it's it's going to be a Donnybrook. 322 00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:32,839 I think if the hearing with her tomorrow, Bill Clinton, 323 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,079 he'll be a good old boy, aw shucks. But they're 324 00:20:36,079 --> 00:20:39,400 going to be asking all the salacious stuff about the 325 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,240 sex stories, was he involved with the young women? On 326 00:20:43,279 --> 00:20:50,039 and on and on, and speaking of salacious sex oriented stories, 327 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:56,480 Congressman Tony Gonzalez is up for the primary in Texas. 328 00:20:56,039 --> 00:21:01,000 He has the San Antonios down to the order and 329 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,720 along the Mexican border, a long stretch, and he is 330 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:11,839 in a competitive position for the primary next Tuesday in Texas. Well. 331 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,880 The guy who he's running against is being accused of 332 00:21:15,319 --> 00:21:19,160 rolling out a story that he had an affair with 333 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:24,599 one of his staffers and that the staffer committed suicide. 334 00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:29,240 And everybody's pointing the finger back to Tony Gonzalez and 335 00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:32,359 he says, I did not have an affair with her. No, 336 00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:37,200 I'm not going to resign, and others are going, but 337 00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:40,480 you have to resign. You've been accused of this terrible thing. 338 00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:43,920 It's very bad and the text messages that have been 339 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:50,119 published are really really ugly, but he is standing his ground. 340 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,599 The only thing that makes me stop and think about 341 00:21:54,039 --> 00:21:57,319 is this a true story or not? Is that election 342 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,359 day is next Tuesday. An early election is on right now, 343 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:08,599 so we'll find out more about a Congressman Tony Gonzales 344 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:15,359 and his problems that he has. There's one more that 345 00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:20,960 has to do with not salacious but about sex crimes. 346 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:30,079 And it is a child molester out of California, out 347 00:22:30,079 --> 00:22:34,200 of Sacramentom, my own old stomping grounds guide by the 348 00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:39,839 name of David Funston. He's sixty four years old. He 349 00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:45,200 is being paroled because of the fact that he is 350 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:54,119 an elderly, an elderly inmate and yet sixty four because 351 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:59,279 California Governor Knewsom signed the law that if you are 352 00:22:59,559 --> 00:23:05,599 fifty or above, you are eligible for elderly release. They're 353 00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:09,319 trying to get rid of the people in prisons in California. 354 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,000 They've been doing this now for quite some time. So 355 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,880 this guy, this David Funston, has been convicted of kidnapping 356 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:24,799 and child molestation sixteen counts. He also was sentenced to 357 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,000 three consecutive terms of twenty five years to life. And 358 00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:34,240 that is why I am for the death penalty, because 359 00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:38,640 the judges hand out these twenty five years to life 360 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:44,880 sentences consecutive, three of them, and he's been paroled because 361 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:50,200 he's over fifty. And he even says, I've been working on, 362 00:23:50,519 --> 00:23:55,240 working on, working on trying to control my desires. Well, 363 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,720 if you're in a prison, there are no children around 364 00:23:57,759 --> 00:24:01,000 you in a prison, so I'm sure he's been successful, 365 00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:04,839 but they're going to let him out. This is the 366 00:24:05,279 --> 00:24:09,920 sheriff of Sacramento County talking about His name is Jim Cooper. 367 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 5: It doesn't make any sense at all. Think about this 368 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,119 retirement age for Social Security at sixty two, most people 369 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,680 working in their sixties and seventies, and why is he 370 00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:21,920 being remanious. It's what is a moral compass for the 371 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,200 parole board and allowing this. I've heard the same import 372 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,359 they did the fancy did. These kids ages three to 373 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,279 eight are horrific. It can never be undone. It's called 374 00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:35,599 playing the game. You're in prison. You have nothing else 375 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,400 to do other than convincing we've changed. I want to 376 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,119 read you some exerts in the re court. This is 377 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,720 a victim's testimony. Her statement. She's three years old. She 378 00:24:43,799 --> 00:24:46,839 was abducted in front of her aunt's house, triggered at 379 00:24:46,839 --> 00:24:49,359 his house where he'd bathed there. It took her clothes off, 380 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,480 We're going to assaulted her, put a nice of her 381 00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:55,119 throat and told her she told anyone, he would kill her. 382 00:24:56,039 --> 00:24:58,720 He had barbarie dolls and toys in the house, dropped 383 00:24:58,799 --> 00:25:01,160 off back of the house, told her again. If you 384 00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:04,359 tony one, I'll kill you. Another seven year old girl, 385 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,599 he took fifty miles away, sectually assaulted her in the car. 386 00:25:09,799 --> 00:25:12,160 When she refused to advances, he punched her in the face, 387 00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:15,720 threw her out of the car with no shoes on, 388 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,519 hipping miles away. A seven year old girl. The four 389 00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:23,960 year old boy, same thing in the bushes, secially assaulted him, 390 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,200 gave him toys, and then let him go. Yeah, four 391 00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:30,400 year old boy picked him out of a footo line 392 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,920 of thirty years ago. This man's a monster. He should 393 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,119 not be allowed out shot. 394 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: Molesters many times have openly admitted that they cannot change 395 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,319 and they will not change. That is their sexual desire children. 396 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,640 And so they're letting this guy out. They let him 397 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:51,400 out because of the fact he's over fifty fifty. So 398 00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:55,759 back to the sheriff and whether he thinks anything can 399 00:25:55,799 --> 00:26:00,000 be done to change this outrageously dangerous rule. 400 00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 5: There's something going on right now. There's a couple of 401 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:06,519 bills in the legislature. I think because of the public 402 00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:09,160 outcry and outrace that's going on, I think you may 403 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,559 see some moving in the legislature. It's an election year 404 00:26:12,039 --> 00:26:14,599 and I'm down in southern californ of my fifty seven 405 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,160 other sheriff and we're all up set about. We're all angry. 406 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,279 It has to change. We have to put victims first 407 00:26:20,559 --> 00:26:22,880 as stop putting the suspects in front. 408 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: Well, the sheriff is a former member of the California 409 00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:30,519 Legislature and he should know better. He should know they're 410 00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:32,960 not going to crack down on something like that. They 411 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,599 want to empty their prisons out. So that's sad story 412 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,759 out of California. On that one, I mentioned that the 413 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:48,240 Texas primary is next Tuesday. On the Democrat side, there 414 00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:51,640 are two people that are running. One is a guy 415 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,240 by the name of James Tallarico. You may have heard 416 00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:57,200 about him. There was a big stink on Stephen Colbert's 417 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,480 show where he made he basically threw it back in 418 00:27:01,559 --> 00:27:05,160 CBS's face. CBS said, you can't have a candidate on 419 00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:09,920 in the middle of a campaign, and Stephen Colbert threw 420 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,319 a temper tantrum. But that was Tallerco who was on 421 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:19,720 the show, and he was running behind his opposition, Jasmine Crockett. Yes, 422 00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:24,559 she's running for the Senate seat from Texas. She's a congresswoman. 423 00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:27,960 She wants to move up to the Senate. He has 424 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,880 far outraised her seventeen million compared to her four million, 425 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,079 a lot of it coming from Stephen Colbert's show. On 426 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:43,440 the Republican side, you've got three Republicans, John Cornyn, Wesley Hunt, 427 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:49,640 and Ken Paxton. John Cornyn is the incumbent. Ken Paxton 428 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,799 is the Attorney General of Texas. Karl Rowe knows his 429 00:27:56,559 --> 00:28:00,359 Texas politics and one of the big observations is that 430 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:06,319 Democrats have turned out more people, more Democrats voting in 431 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,200 Texas politics than Republicans. It's up to red state. So 432 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:11,359 what about that, Karl. 433 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:11,759 Speaker 7: That's right. 434 00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 10: But look, first of all, that happens. It happened in 435 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,359 twenty twenty, it happened in two thousand and eight, happened 436 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,480 in two thousand and four because the presidential primaries there 437 00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:25,359 was more activity in the Democratic side than the Republican side. 438 00:28:25,599 --> 00:28:27,720 Last time it happened in a midterm was two thousand 439 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,920 and two. Nine hundred and fifty four thousand people voted 440 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,759 in the Democratic primary, six hundred and fourteen thousand voted 441 00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:36,680 in the Republican primary. At in the fall, John Cornyn 442 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,799 beat the mayor of Dallas, Ron Kirk fifty five forty 443 00:28:39,839 --> 00:28:42,640 three for that or know well, no, no, this is 444 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,960 the Republicans. And again it's all over the board. Cornin 445 00:28:46,039 --> 00:28:49,039 thirty four, Paston, thirty six, Hunt, twenty six. In an 446 00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:52,240 early poll by the University of Texas, Peak insites thirty 447 00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:56,480 one Paxton thirty nine, Cornyn twenty five Hunt in early February. 448 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,519 In later February thirty six packs In thirty six, corn 449 00:28:59,519 --> 00:29:02,039 In fourteen. So that if people are at fifty percent. 450 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,599 Speaker 1: It's really narrow, so there probably will be a runoff 451 00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:09,440 if nobody gets more than fifty percent. But Carl has 452 00:29:09,599 --> 00:29:13,039 no use for Ken Paxton the attorney general. Listen, it 453 00:29:13,079 --> 00:29:13,359 could be. 454 00:29:13,559 --> 00:29:17,079 Speaker 10: First of all, full disclosure, I'm a personal friend of 455 00:29:17,119 --> 00:29:21,240 in a long time patriot of John Cornyn. We have 456 00:29:21,359 --> 00:29:24,240 an attorney general of former Ken Paxton, who was impeached 457 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,400 by the Texas House for basically selling his office to 458 00:29:28,279 --> 00:29:30,480 a corrupt business guy who's in jail, who hired his 459 00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:33,759 girlfriend in a no you know, no need to show 460 00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:38,119 up job. But if Paxston is the nominee, the Democrats 461 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,319 will spend one hundred or two hundred million dollars because 462 00:29:40,359 --> 00:29:42,680 they know that he is a damaged candidate. 463 00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:47,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't understand. Ken Paxton is so damaged. His wife, 464 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,839 I believe was a member of the Texas Legislature and 465 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,000 anyway he was cheating on her. That became part of 466 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,359 the recall effort. And anyway, the people voted for Ken 467 00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:58,960 Paxton to keep him as the attorney general, and now 468 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,680 he's neck and neck with John Corny, who's been centered 469 00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:08,359 from Texas for a very long time. Iran talks they 470 00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:15,000 took place today. There is a reporter in Geneva who 471 00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:17,119 kind of goes over what happened today. 472 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 11: Talks went on for about I would say, about three 473 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,000 hours earlier this morning here in Geneva, we saw the 474 00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:25,400 American convoy which presumably had Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner, 475 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,720 and it leave here about forty five minutes ago. From 476 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,720 what we're learning from the Omanis who are mediating these talks, 477 00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:32,680 they say that there's a break in the talks. There's 478 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,279 going to be consultations that both sides are going to do, 479 00:30:35,319 --> 00:30:37,240 and then they're going to come back here later today 480 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,880 to continue their negotiations. Of course, we know that Steve 481 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,519 Whitcoff and Jared Kushner in the meantime, we'll also be 482 00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:45,440 speaking to the Ukrainians about trying to stop the war 483 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,680 in Ukraine. But will then return to these high stakes 484 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,960 talks here about the conflict with Iran. And first of all, 485 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,799 about that new right in the Wall Street Journal that 486 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,599 certainly is something that we've heard before that apparently the 487 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,440 US does want the Iranians to shutter their three main 488 00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:05,880 nuclear sides, FORDO, Natans at Isfahan. But at the same time, 489 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,400 the big question is going to be what about Iran's 490 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,240 nuclear enrichment capabilities. The Iranians say they have an inherent 491 00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:14,599 right to enrich uranium. The US says they want them 492 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,319 to stop altogether. The big question here is going to 493 00:31:17,319 --> 00:31:18,960 be whether or not the two sides you're going to 494 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,880 be able to find some sort of compromise where both 495 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,519 sides can say face and both sides say that this 496 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,440 is what President Trump has called an equitable deal. The Iranians, 497 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,039 for their parts, say that they also want sanctions relief 498 00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:34,480 on a major scale if they are going to go 499 00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:36,680 into any deal with the United States. They say, all 500 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,960 of this needs to have some benefits for them as well. 501 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,640 And of course, all this playing out as we very 502 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,880 well know, as the military situation in the Middle East 503 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,400 continues to escalate, obviously more US forces arriving in that region, 504 00:31:49,559 --> 00:31:51,680 and the Iranians saying that if they are attacked, they 505 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,880 are going to strike back in a massive way. There 506 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,000 was one senior Iranian official earlier today and he said, quote, 507 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,279 he hopes that we will prevail. 508 00:32:01,599 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: Well. Marco Rubio, our Secretary of State, has this to 509 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,359 say about it. 510 00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:11,519 Speaker 12: Iran possesses a very large number of ballistic missiles, particularly 511 00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:15,480 short range ballistic missiles that threaten the United States and 512 00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:19,079 our bas and they also possess naval assets that threaten 513 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,599 shipping and try to threaten the US Navy. And beyond 514 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,279 just a nuclear program, they possess these conventional weapons that 515 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,599 are solely designed to attack America and attack Americans if 516 00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:32,000 they choose to do so. 517 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 6: These things have to be addressed. 518 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: So it sounds like they are not really making any progress. 519 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,400 They're trying to act like they are, but they don't 520 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,559 want to give up their enrichment, of their nuclear enrichment, 521 00:32:45,599 --> 00:32:49,759 i should say, and the US wants them to completely stop. 522 00:32:50,119 --> 00:32:52,480 So there's a huge gap there. And the other thing 523 00:32:52,519 --> 00:32:59,559 about Iran is that they always are stretching out the negotiations, 524 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,359 buy more time, playing the clock to try to get 525 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,119 more time before they have to either fish or cut bait. 526 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,000 Here's Rebecca Heinrich from the Hudson Institute who kind of 527 00:33:11,079 --> 00:33:13,319 refers to that being part of their style. 528 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,319 Speaker 8: It's going to be up to the Iranians, and I 529 00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:18,359 think the Secretarubio. President Trump has said diplomacy is still 530 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,799 our first choice, but the Iran regime essentially has They've 531 00:33:21,839 --> 00:33:24,319 been given an ultimatum. You have to stop your ballistic 532 00:33:24,359 --> 00:33:27,279 missile development, which ranges American troops in the region in 533 00:33:27,319 --> 00:33:29,799 our allies. You have to get rid of your nuclear program, 534 00:33:30,119 --> 00:33:32,599 which so far the Iranians insist on that being off limits. 535 00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:34,880 They're not going to talk about totally getting rid of Enrichmond, 536 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,640 and they're building out this Pickaxe Mountain. There's still some 537 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,519 development there going on, even after the United States took 538 00:33:41,559 --> 00:33:44,279 out their facilities in Operation Midnight Hammer. And the other 539 00:33:44,319 --> 00:33:47,720 thing Secretarubio has pointed out is there's still funding proxies 540 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,400 in the region which put at risk our allies. So 541 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,759 clearly the administration wants the Iran regime to lay down 542 00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:56,640 its arms, choose a different path and so far the 543 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,240 Iranians are not willing to do that. 544 00:33:58,359 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: So now we wait to see what the next step 545 00:34:00,799 --> 00:34:03,880 is on this because they seemed to again, like I said, 546 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,920 they seem to be at loggerheads. You want to check 547 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,280 in on Wall Street see what they did today. It 548 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,880 was a roller coaster as far as the Dow was concerned. 549 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,960 Started off a little higher, then took a big dip, 550 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,760 came back, rallied back to break even, then went way 551 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:25,400 down again, then rallied back to basically a little better 552 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,320 than break even, but not much. At the closing bell, 553 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,880 the dow finished when all that roller coaster was over 554 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,440 with up seventeen, the Dow at forty nine thousand and 555 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,000 four ninety nine. The S and P went down thirty seven, 556 00:34:40,039 --> 00:34:45,280 the NASDAK down two hundred seventy three, the price of 557 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,840 goal down sixteen dollars to five thousand, two hundred and eight, 558 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,440 and oil just is on hold. It was up a 559 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,480 few pennies at just more than a little more than 560 00:34:56,519 --> 00:35:00,480 sixty five dollars for one barrel of oil. So that's 561 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,559 it for today. Thank you for coming by. We will 562 00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:06,159 be back again tomorrow. I hope to see you. That 563 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:15,719 it
