1 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: And hello, Hi, how are you happy? Monday? Back to work? 2 00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:30,120 We go a lot of you coming back off of 3 00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:36,200 four days. Hope your Thanksgiving was spectacular. We have a 4 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,799 very busy Monday, no question about it. We've got the 5 00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:46,399 big talks about Ukraine. We've got a shooting at a 6 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,520 children's birthday party in Stockton, California. Will follow up on 7 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:57,640 the the DC shooter. Luigi Maggioni is back in court 8 00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:02,240 again today. And we got Black Friday sales and today 9 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,920 they're estimating what Cyber Monday. And I don't know if 10 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,680 you're buying anything or not, but a lot of people are. 11 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,879 So let's start with though this is probably the most 12 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,879 serious story of the day, war crimes. There are a 13 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:25,159 lot of people pointing fingers at the drug boats that 14 00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:27,719 we are blowing out of the water with our military, 15 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,040 and out of that people obviously are dying. And people 16 00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:36,079 are now questioning whether or not this goes back to 17 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:41,680 this September second event. This was the first hit in 18 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,280 where we went after a drug boat, and the accusations 19 00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:53,439 are that the Secretary of War, Secretary of Defense heg 20 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,000 Seth Pete Hegseth gave orders to make sure that kill 21 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,079 everybody and went back around after they struck the boat, 22 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,840 they went back around, allegedly for a second time to 23 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,599 make sure that everybody was dead. That is a war crime. 24 00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:16,719 And so that is what's being debated, and it's being 25 00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:25,520 debated bipartisanally. Let's start with a Republican, Mike Turner, who 26 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,800 was on the Judiciary, I'm sorry, the Armed Services Committee, 27 00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:33,360 and this is what he had to say in his 28 00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:35,039 reaction to the accusations. 29 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,319 Speaker 2: Obviously, if that occurred, that would be be very serious, 30 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:41,599 and I agree that that would would be an illegal act. 31 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,639 This is completely outside of anything that has been discussed 32 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,520 with Congress, and there is an ongoing investigation. 33 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,199 Speaker 1: All right, So there's a Republican. Here's the Democrat. Of course, 34 00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:55,400 he's also controversial because of the fact that he was 35 00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:58,680 one of the six that put the tape out there 36 00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:04,360 about don't obey illegal orders. And it appears that what 37 00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:08,680 they were alluding to were these attacks on the Narco boats. 38 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,479 Here's Mike Mark Kelly. 39 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,879 Speaker 3: If you received that order, would you have carried it out? 40 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,319 Speaker 4: No? 41 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:17,159 Speaker 3: No, And I'm a guy who I have sunk two ships, 42 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,400 but you know, going after survivors in the water, that 43 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,199 is clearly not lawful. 44 00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 5: Okay. 45 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,479 Speaker 1: So both of those people are part of the group 46 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,120 that's going to lead the investigation. And again, like I said, 47 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,919 it's bipartisan, and it's in the House, and it's also 48 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,319 in the Senate. President Trump, when he was fine back 49 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,000 to Washington last night on Air Force one, was well, 50 00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:42,080 this is how he responded to the accusation. 51 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 5: Number one, I don't know that that happened. And Pete 52 00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:48,520 said he did not want them. He didn't even know 53 00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:52,000 what people were talking about. So we'll look at we'll 54 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,520 look into it. But no, I wouldn't have wanted that, 55 00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:58,680 not a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. 56 00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:01,000 It was fine, and if what two people are aunt? 57 00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:02,719 But Pete said that didn't happen. 58 00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:05,719 Speaker 1: Kind of hard to hear because of the aircraft noise, 59 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,719 but he said he wasn't aware of that happening. That 60 00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:12,800 Pete haig Seth told him it did not happen. So 61 00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:16,680 where do we go from here. David Urban, former West 62 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,240 Point guy and also speaks as a strategist for Republicans, 63 00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:22,600 had this to say. 64 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 6: No, I served the military, went to West Point. I 65 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,399 actually served as the Article thirty two hearing officer for 66 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,839 the one hundred first Airborne Division, which means it's you're 67 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,560 under the uniform of code military Justice. There is no 68 00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:39,319 grand jury proceeding. There's an officer who sits to determine 69 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,839 probable cause, and I served in that role for roughly 70 00:04:42,879 --> 00:04:46,319 a year hearing probable cause cases to determine whether or 71 00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:49,839 not people went forward for courts martial. There's a lot 72 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,680 of information needs to be determined here. What the exact 73 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,199 order was that Pete Hegseth gave him the initial in 74 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,519 the first place, whether he said, you know, we want 75 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,959 to make sure no one's left, or did he order 76 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,439 a double tap here, or was it you know, what 77 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,519 was it thought of that the people downstream and the 78 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,319 chaining command thought that that was the initial order that 79 00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:12,759 Pete gave way way back when was leave no survivors, 80 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,160 go back and kill everybody. I mean, there's a lot 81 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,079 there are more questions and answers at this point, as 82 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,639 you point out, correctly, bipartisan efforts in both the House 83 00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:26,199 and Senate Wicker and Jack Reid and then and same 84 00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:29,120 similarly in the House have both sent letters to the 85 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,040 Department of Defense saying we want more, we need more. 86 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,199 The President said he's gonna investigate. I have a feeling 87 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,720 this is not the last we're gonna hear of it. 88 00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:40,519 There's gonna be as you know these instances, there's videotape, 89 00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:45,560 there are there are emails, There are you know, classified 90 00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:48,480 memos that go back and forth, all I feel which 91 00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:50,560 are going to be turned over at some point to 92 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,879 get to the bottom of this. Because if in fact, 93 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,279 there was an order to go back and kill these 94 00:05:56,319 --> 00:05:58,519 folks and you know, make sure that they weren't alive, 95 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,040 someone's gonna be held accountable for it. 96 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,759 Speaker 1: But what David Urban's talking about is I think pretty important. 97 00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:09,600 Go to the next step. They are going to find 98 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,879 out what happened. They are going to find out who 99 00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:17,000 gave if there were orders given to go back and 100 00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:21,199 make sure to kill everyone. If those orders were given, 101 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:28,319 who gave them? Was it somebody down this downstream, some 102 00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:32,720 lieutenant commander, was it up some admiral? Was it all 103 00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:37,920 the way up to Pete Hegseth. We will find out 104 00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:41,560 and whoever gave those orders. And we'll play a couple 105 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,879 of clips here. The lawyers are all going this thing 106 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,720 is totally illegal to do something like that. We don't 107 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,680 know if that happened. But we will find out if 108 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,720 it did, and we'll find out who. If it turns 109 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,720 out to be some low level commander on the scene, 110 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,360 then they're going to be court martial. If it goes 111 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,959 up to Pete Haig Seth, now you've got a whole 112 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,439 bunch of can of worms with that. If it goes 113 00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:14,079 to the President I, you know, there's gonna that's just 114 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,319 gonna be a big can of worms. So we'll find out, 115 00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:21,000 and there's no reason to prejudge what happened. We will 116 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,319 find out what exactly happened. Back to David Urban talking 117 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:33,160 about we follow rules in our military. We don't do rambo. 118 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,600 We are a professional military and the world looks up 119 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,040 to us because of that. Here's David. 120 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,399 Speaker 6: We have rules, right, there are rules of war, right, 121 00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:45,560 there are rules. That's why the America is better than 122 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,040 every other country in the world is because we follow 123 00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:51,279 the rules. We play by the rules. The rules may 124 00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,759 not be you know, played by by our enemies and 125 00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:57,199 by others, but we play by the rules because that's 126 00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:00,759 what that's what Americans do. There are rules of warfare. 127 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,879 There's a Geneva Convention. There are all kinds of things 128 00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:07,240 that govern how we conduct combat and what we do. Listen, 129 00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:11,279 I would say this harken back to when President Barack 130 00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:14,040 Obama was in office and there was a drone strike 131 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,680 and President Obama killed a US citizen in Yemen. He 132 00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:20,160 had converted to be, you know, Taliban. He was, he 133 00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:23,000 was radicalized, but he was a US citizen. He was 134 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,360 taken down by a drone strike. President Obama did and 135 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,560 there wasn't this this amount of outrage. So I'm a 136 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,959 little bit curious and suspect by that. I think everything 137 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,639 you know Trump does as bad, and everything you know 138 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,279 that he does is bad, bad, bad, But there there 139 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:40,559 there is some precedent for this in a bad way. 140 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: There was a there was a minor outrage about the 141 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,240 fact that President Obama had killed his citizen, but everybody 142 00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:50,799 looked the other way because the guy he killed, Alwaukee, 143 00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:57,080 was has had converted and was a Taliban official and 144 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,799 was recruiting for the Taliban. So it was like, Okay, 145 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:03,879 back to the rules and back to this is going 146 00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:06,320 to be found. People are going to find out exactly 147 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,960 what's going on. Angus King, the senator from the Independent 148 00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:15,120 senator from Maine, said, oh, yeah, this is simply a 149 00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:19,559 matter of not politics. It's a matter of facts. It's 150 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,120 all about the facts. Law is clear. If the facts 151 00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:24,759 are as have been alleged that there was a second strike, 152 00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:28,080 specifically to kill the survivors in the war in the water, 153 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,879 that's a stone cold war crime. 154 00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:35,919 Speaker 3: It's also murder. So the real question is who gave 155 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,360 which orders? When were they given? And that's what we're 156 00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:41,440 going to get to the bottom of in the Congress. 157 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,200 As you point out, a bipartisan interest in this. Roger Wicker, 158 00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:47,480 or the chair of the Armed Services Committee, has said 159 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,080 we're going to dig into this. So it's really a 160 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,399 factual question. The law is totally clear. I think we're 161 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,960 going to see some interviews of people up and down 162 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,679 the chain of command. The question is what ordered did 163 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,240 this Secretary of Defense give? 164 00:10:02,879 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 5: Uh? 165 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,799 Speaker 3: And what how is that executed? And it's we're going 166 00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:07,799 to be talking to people, as I say, all the 167 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,559 way up up to the top of the chain of 168 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,080 command and down to the people that actually triggered that attack. 169 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,120 So it's a it's a very serious matter. 170 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 5: Uh. 171 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 3: And ironically this comes at this moment where we've just 172 00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:25,200 been through this hysteria at the at the Pentagon about 173 00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:31,840 Mark Kelly and others advising soldiers that they should not 174 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,120 follow illegal orders. And here's an example of of just 175 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,440 what the concern was that that provoked that video. Well, 176 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,360 at that point, it's not really up to the Congress, 177 00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:46,639 it would be up to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 178 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,519 it would be up to the military chain of command 179 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,600 themselves they they enforced these laws. Conceivably, it could be 180 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,799 a criminal case in the in the American court system, 181 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,320 but I would think that this would be handled. And again, 182 00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:03,919 one of the problems here is that one of the 183 00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:07,600 very first things this administration did I'm talking about within 184 00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:10,960 the first couple of weeks was fire the senior judge 185 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,080 Advocate General, that the senior lawyers in the Defense Department. 186 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,039 They then illegally fired the Inspector General, which is supposed 187 00:11:19,039 --> 00:11:23,360 to oversee the activities of the department, and then they 188 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,200 transferred six hundred JAG officers out of the Pentagon to 189 00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:34,440 do immigration judge cases. So they have really diminished the 190 00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:39,519 capacity for the Defense Department to take cognizance of what 191 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,000 the law is in these cases. And that's that's what's 192 00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:47,320 really concerning. Beyond this particular case, when you take those 193 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,440 series of steps and follow the breadcrumbs. It sounds like 194 00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:52,960 illegal orders might be in the offing. 195 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: Well, obviously he's jumping way ahead. He says, we're going 196 00:11:56,759 --> 00:11:58,679 to go to the fact, but he's already figured out 197 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,919 that illegal orders were in the other I don't know 198 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,559 if there were illegal order. Did they come from the President, 199 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,840 Did they come from the Secretary of Defense, Did they 200 00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:11,720 come from a local commander. Did they come from people 201 00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:15,519 actually manning the guns that shot the Boat's the boat 202 00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:19,360 out of the water. We'll find out. I always like 203 00:12:19,399 --> 00:12:23,840 to check with General Jack Keene on all things military. 204 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 7: Well, I think it's pretty evident the president definitely wants 205 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,919 a regime change there, and he's offering madority opportunity to 206 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,840 voluntarily do it, or he's likely to take some action. 207 00:12:34,519 --> 00:12:37,799 You know, presidents at post World War two certainly have 208 00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:42,080 been very involved in our western hemisphere and taking real 209 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,440 interest in the security implications that take place there coming 210 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,679 from knocko trafficking, human trafficking, and just human rights abuses, 211 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,039 et cetera. To be quite direct and specific about it. 212 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,600 In nineteen eighty nine, George H. W. Bush directed a 213 00:12:57,639 --> 00:13:02,600 regime change in Panama Noriega, who was running the country 214 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,480 as a result of a fraudulent election. Pretty similar and 215 00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:12,279 also he was indicted by federal courts for criminal drug 216 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,159 trafficking and human trafficking the year before. In the United States. 217 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,399 We also wanted to protect US citizens, some thirty five 218 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,559 thousand that were there. We put scores of troops in 219 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,080 there to make that. Regime change has done quite successfully. 220 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,960 In nineteen ninety four, President Clinton directed of regime change 221 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,679 in Haiti, were a military dictatorship had taken over from 222 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,519 a duly democratically elected president Aristet, and the mission was 223 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,639 to return Ariste to power and let him run the country. 224 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,039 The second thing was is that there was significant mass 225 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,919 migrations taken place to the United States because of the 226 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,200 horrific human rights abuses that were taking place as a 227 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,120 result of the military dictatorship. I give our view as 228 00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:59,120 those examples because this president here also neither president had 229 00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:01,759 authorization for the Congress to do either one of those 230 00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:05,919 regime changes. There is limited discussion with the Congress prior 231 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,559 to it, certainly, and considerably more discussion with it once 232 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,120 the attacks began, but authorization did not take place. Certainly, 233 00:14:14,159 --> 00:14:17,960 collaboration was taking place at the time so we're on 234 00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:20,879 a path. I think it's quite similar here, and the 235 00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:23,600 president has a lot of options. He can do limited 236 00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:27,440 attacks to get his attention further. He can continue to 237 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,960 demonstrate the status quo, which he's doing right now with 238 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,240 military power in the region and issuing threats, or he 239 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,360 can do something more significant, as our previous presidents did well. 240 00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:42,879 I think whenever the United States is exercising its power 241 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,399 and influence, all of our adversaries clearly pay attention. Most 242 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,039 graphically was when the United States is delivered a decisive 243 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:56,039 blow supporting Israel's attack on Iran and pushed Iran back 244 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,080 to it in a position we haven't seen for forty 245 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,399 four years. Weakened that regime. Certainly, President She's paying attention 246 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,200 to that because and so is Putin. They all got 247 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,679 aggressive in the intervening years between Trump Born and Trump too. 248 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,120 There's no disputing the fact he invaded Ukraine. Putin did 249 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,679 because he thought he was going to get away with it, 250 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,039 and he thought the signals were very clear after the 251 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,679 Afghanistan debacle that the United States didn't have much stomach 252 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,559 for this, and President She became considerably more aggressive in 253 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,720 imposing his will on the region and stating time and 254 00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:32,840 time again, I want to replace the United States as the. 255 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: World's global power. 256 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 7: This is sort of the mess that the president inherited 257 00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:39,799 here and is trying to deal with it. And the 258 00:15:39,879 --> 00:15:44,840 same thing dealing with Maduro. This is a criminal who's 259 00:15:44,919 --> 00:15:50,799 shielding his criminal activity by his presidential political power, and 260 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,440 you've got to see him for what it is and 261 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,240 what its impact is on the United States. We have 262 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,679 a president for the first time in multiple presidents, Republican 263 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,840 and Democrat about it, who's really taking the narco traffic, 264 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,159 gain fence and al and obviously cocaine and the rest 265 00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:11,519 of the drugs as a poison that is impacting American 266 00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:14,559 citizens And we've got to take a strategic look at 267 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,320 how we do it stop it not just this country 268 00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:20,840 and also involves China. And that is to be applauded. 269 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,240 We can argue over the means, for sure. This is 270 00:16:24,279 --> 00:16:27,159 the first president that's taken a holistic approach to it. 271 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. So President Trump's enemies, you want to call them that, 272 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:37,000 opposition whatever you like. They do not want President Trump 273 00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:40,480 to go further than these narco drug boats and go 274 00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:43,360 ahead and do regime change. They're afraid of that, and 275 00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:46,120 they don't want they're trying to stop him right where 276 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,480 he is. But back to the Narco boats in the 277 00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:52,919 water and this story that's out about the fact that 278 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,120 there was an order to kill everybody. Jonathan Turley brings 279 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,519 the legal case to the table. Well, this is highly contextual. 280 00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:05,640 As you might imagine, the law of war deals with 281 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,359 a situation that is the example of the fog of war, right, 282 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,359 I mean, the fog of war has a certain fluidity 283 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,359 to it. Decisions are made very quickly. Some of those 284 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,400 decisions might be mistakes. What is clear is that you 285 00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:24,759 cannot issue a strike on survivors of a wreck just 286 00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:28,359 to kill the survivors. That is against the laws of war. 287 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,359 It's against federal law, which has been incorporated by the 288 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,359 Senate through treaties. So those points are very clear. The 289 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,519 question that is not clear is what happened here. Now, 290 00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:42,359 what was just suggested by the White House was that 291 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,920 the second strike was meant to fully destroy the vessel. Now, 292 00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:52,079 that can be done within the rules of or the 293 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,559 laws of war. That is obviously, in World War Two 294 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:03,519 and other conflicts, a coup de gras torpedo or shell 295 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,279 was used to bring a. 296 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,039 Speaker 8: Ship finally to rest, So there's no question about that. 297 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,279 It's a question of the motivation. So it's not uncommon 298 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,480 for finishing shots to occur if the boat itself was 299 00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:22,640 not fully destroyed. Now, the argument of critics here is 300 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,440 that this is not a battleship, this is not a destroyer, 301 00:18:25,599 --> 00:18:28,240 it's not even a cruiser. It's a small boat hit 302 00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:33,039 with a large monition, and that it was largely destroyed. 303 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,680 And so the question is was this to kill the 304 00:18:35,759 --> 00:18:39,400 survivors or truly to destroy the rest of that ship. 305 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,559 You know, there's already been talk about a congressional investigation. 306 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,359 The key here is going to be what the admiral 307 00:18:46,279 --> 00:18:49,400 had intended here, whether if he was intending to take 308 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,359 out the remainder of the boat, it likely is within 309 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,960 the laws of war. These are very difficult decisions to 310 00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:01,319 sort of walk back in time, but it'll depend a 311 00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:05,000 lot upon that videotape what orders were given. The secretor 312 00:19:05,079 --> 00:19:08,559 here has denied the allegation that he gave an order 313 00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:12,279 to kill any survivors, and so that is now clear 314 00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:15,759 on the record and contradicts the original media report. 315 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: So this story will not go away until they come 316 00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:22,960 to an answer about just exactly who said what and 317 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,240 when and what kind of orders were issued. And speaking 318 00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:30,519 of war, Mark Rubio was meeting with Ukrainian officials. They 319 00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:33,960 were in Florida over the weekend, and he said this 320 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:34,519 this morning. 321 00:19:35,319 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 9: I think additional progress was made and we continue to 322 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,319 be realistic about how difficult this is, but optimistic, particularly 323 00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:44,279 given the fact that as we've made progress. I think 324 00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:46,279 there's a shared vision here that this is not just 325 00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:48,640 about ending the war, which is very important. It is 326 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,839 about securing Ukraine's future, a future that we hope will 327 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,200 be more prosperous than it's ever been. 328 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,279 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. They keep saying we're closed, We're closed, 329 00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:59,319 so oh boy, we're close, and every time they come 330 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,680 up with something, Putin basically is playing this dollgame. Putin 331 00:20:04,759 --> 00:20:07,640 I think is playing them like a fiddle. But Ukraine 332 00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:12,559 has more problems because the top negotiator, one of the 333 00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:17,440 top people in the Ukrainian government, was basically booted out 334 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:23,240 of the government because of corruption. Ukraine has a long 335 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,039 history of corruption, and so here you have one of 336 00:20:28,079 --> 00:20:31,880 the top people in Zelensky's government and the head negotiator 337 00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:37,680 on ending the war basically said yep, I've been taking 338 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:43,000 money unto the table. So Brett Zadler with the Heritage Foundation, 339 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,559 former Secret Service guy, reacted to this latest talks. 340 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 10: We've heard this broken record from Moscow before that Putin 341 00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:55,079 is ready to enter into serious negotiations only to be 342 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,160 strung along. So what's clear is there has to be 343 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,240 real tangible changes on the battle field before anything deal 344 00:21:01,319 --> 00:21:03,960 is struck or before anything is given up on the 345 00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:07,000 US and Ukrainian side. And I think, sadly, it's going 346 00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:10,119 to still take more real pressure and cost on the 347 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,720 battlefield as well as the pocketbook to get on Putin 348 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,799 to change his tack, and I mean secondary sanctions that 349 00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:19,519 really bite on Chinese entities or supplying materials, as well 350 00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:23,359 as finances to Moscow, India's continued purchase of Russia. There 351 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,759 needs to be an alternative provided, preferably American energy, and 352 00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:30,160 of course weapons on the battlefield that will actually cause 353 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,680 Putin to pause, like long range strike weapons like tomahawks. 354 00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: So that's nice, but that's been ruled out. So again, 355 00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:42,279 I don't know what's going to happen other than the 356 00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:45,559 fact that Putin is going to dig in as deep 357 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,279 as he can possibly dig in. So don't expect any 358 00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:54,720 big breakthrough in the Ukraine Russian War shootings. Let's start 359 00:21:54,759 --> 00:21:59,759 with the latest. Over the weekend in Stockton, California, there 360 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:05,359 was a birthday party, a child's birthday party. There was 361 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,079 about one hundred to one hundred and fifty people at 362 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:14,960 an event hall, and more than one shooter came to 363 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,039 the birthday party and just opened up on the people. 364 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,960 Four people are dead, three of them children. Eleven of 365 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,160 them are wounded. Jonathan Wackrow weighs in, well. 366 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 11: First of all, this is a nightmare ye, I mean 367 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,160 a nightmare scene for law enforcement on the initial call. 368 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,559 But when you think about, you know, what had happened here? 369 00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:38,279 To me, this is really a grievance driven act of 370 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,640 you know, targeted violence. And the reason why I say 371 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,400 that authorities are saying it is you really have to 372 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,359 look at the attack dynamics. You think about the time 373 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:47,839 of day, right, it was the end of the day 374 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,920 on a Saturday. The location specifically is this this this 375 00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:56,039 child's birthday party where a gathering of family and friends 376 00:22:56,039 --> 00:23:00,720 are together exactly so this is not a spontaneous active 377 00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:04,680 of violence. This is absolutely targeted. And when I say 378 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,920 target is probably looking for somebody or individuals very specifically. 379 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,920 And again we go back to the investigators are going 380 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,240 to go back to the attack dynamics. They're going to 381 00:23:13,319 --> 00:23:16,920 look at a shooter walked into a room full of 382 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:22,039 young children basically at their birthday party and started firing. 383 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,799 What does that signal? And really, from a behavioral threat standpoint, 384 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,240 what that signals is this intentionality looking for somebody where 385 00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:35,200 nothing else matters except finding that target. And when you 386 00:23:35,279 --> 00:23:39,319 get to this level of really emotional fixation of looking 387 00:23:39,319 --> 00:23:41,680 for a target, what ends up happening is you get 388 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,920 this cognitive disconnect by the shooter where they're shooting looking 389 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,960 specifically for this target. They don't care if they're shooting children. 390 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,480 And look at the victims here, the ones that have 391 00:23:51,519 --> 00:23:54,279 passed away and the others that are injured right now 392 00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:57,160 that didn't matter in this case. Then you look at 393 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,720 other factors that investigators looking at. Is really this dual 394 00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:04,759 location of shooting inside and outside. And the reason why 395 00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:09,400 they believe that is because they've found shellcasings. So shellcasings 396 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,680 from two different weapons indicating two different shooters at different locations. 397 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,599 So what does this all mean again, It's that intentionality, 398 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,319 that focus of looking for somebody. They may have found 399 00:24:19,319 --> 00:24:22,039 somebody and they went outside or tried to get away 400 00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:25,799 and the shooting continued. So a real mess for investigators 401 00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:28,960 to try to unpack, but not uncommon in this area. 402 00:24:29,079 --> 00:24:32,759 Gang violence is significantly high in Stockton, California. It has 403 00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:37,839 one of the largest or highest crime rates towards violent 404 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,680 crime per capita, and that's all driven by this gang violence. 405 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,599 So investigators have to act quickly because if this is 406 00:24:44,599 --> 00:24:47,359 a tied to gang violence, that there's no retaliation. 407 00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: Well, he was being rather academic in his analysis about this. 408 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,039 Essentially it was a gang and he's right about Stockton, 409 00:24:58,079 --> 00:25:06,039 California is heavy gang presence, heavy gang violence. Gangs have 410 00:25:06,319 --> 00:25:10,680 their own rules of the road. They don't obviously don't 411 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,799 follow the law, but they've got their own rules of 412 00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:15,440 the road. And he's right. They've got to find these 413 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,319 people as fast as they can because there's going to 414 00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:21,119 be retaliation. They're going to go back and shoot up 415 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:26,000 the families of the other gang, and so innocent people 416 00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:30,240 were killed, Innocent people were shot, and they're going to 417 00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:33,599 be more innocent people getting shot if they don't find 418 00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:37,640 these people very very quickly. But again, they have a 419 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:44,559 long history of lots of gangs in Stockton, California. Let's 420 00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:47,640 get up to date on the DC shooting. We know 421 00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:52,880 that the young woman who was shot died on was 422 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,400 it Thursday with a Thanksgiving day or the day after. 423 00:25:57,519 --> 00:26:03,160 The other soldier is critical and they said today still 424 00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:07,759 in grave condition. And grave to me is code for 425 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,759 he's not probably not going to make it. He's very 426 00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:15,680 close to not making it. So they started looking at 427 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,680 the guy who did the shooting and the fact that 428 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:25,480 he got here from that refugee status from Afghanistan. And 429 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,920 what's troubling to me about this is at the time 430 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:35,119 that I know the Biden administration completely botched that whole 431 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,920 removal from Afghanistan. But you remember what was going on. 432 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,920 You got to place yourself back to twenty twenty one, 433 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,839 and what we were concerned about was don't leave the 434 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,319 people behind that worked with the Americans to help them 435 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,960 fight the war in Afghanistan. You don't leave them behind. 436 00:26:58,039 --> 00:27:02,759 They were loyal to us. So that was the mode, 437 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,480 and that was the mood of the country about these 438 00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:10,119 people helped our soldiers. We need to help them. So 439 00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:14,839 we piled eighty six thousand of them on a string 440 00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:19,519 of c seventeens and flew them out of Afghanistan. Most 441 00:27:19,559 --> 00:27:24,160 of them went to Doha where there was an initial 442 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,039 review of who they were, and then they put him 443 00:27:28,039 --> 00:27:30,279 on planes to the United States. And this guy winds 444 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,119 up in Bellingham, Washington, way up at the tippy top 445 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,599 corner of our country. So Christy Nome was talking about 446 00:27:38,599 --> 00:27:40,799 this on one of the Sunday shows over the weekend, 447 00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:43,559 and listen to what she has to say, because I 448 00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:47,839 think she kind of stuck her foot in her mouth. 449 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 4: We believe he was radicalized since he's been here in 450 00:27:50,279 --> 00:27:53,079 this country. We do believe it was through connections in 451 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,519 his home community and state. And we're going to continue 452 00:27:55,559 --> 00:27:58,519 to talk to those who interacted with him, who were 453 00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:01,279 his family members, talked to them. So far, we've had 454 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,279 some participation, but anyone who has the information on this 455 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,599 needs to know that we will be coming after you 456 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,319 and we will bring you to justice. 457 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: So what she admitted there is everybody in the Trump 458 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,839 administration is I understand why, but they're saying this is 459 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,880 Biden's fault. Biden's fault, Biden's fault. No, Biden wanted to 460 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,400 leave everybody behind there. There were a lot of people 461 00:28:29,519 --> 00:28:32,240 in our country that bring the people that helped our 462 00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:35,119 soldiers get him out of out of there so the 463 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:41,559 Taliban doesn't kill them. If he was radicalized, as she says, 464 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:47,440 while he was here, then why did the Trump administration 465 00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:55,599 approve his asylum application in April of this year. It 466 00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:59,960 wasn't the Biden administration that approved the asylum. That Biden 467 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,559 administration approved him getting on a plane, and then they 468 00:29:03,599 --> 00:29:05,880 gave a cursory review. But I mean, what kind of 469 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,680 review can you do with somebody that's from Afghanistan. They 470 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,079 don't have records. A week in review and the Trump 471 00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:19,960 administration approved his asylum just a few months ago. So 472 00:29:20,119 --> 00:29:23,839 here is Tom Cotton on his reaction to it. 473 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 12: I think clearly vetting standards for every person who's been 474 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,799 admitted in the country, especially from countries of concern like Afghanistan, 475 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,640 need to be revisited. When our military and our CEA 476 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,480 goes around the world, they work with unsavory characters. It's 477 00:29:39,519 --> 00:29:42,279 a necessary part of the job, and they engage in 478 00:29:42,319 --> 00:29:45,039 some vetting of those characters. But it's very different from 479 00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:47,799 the standards that we would apply to vet someone to 480 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,160 come to this country to live in our communities, to 481 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,720 have a family and to ultimately become American citizens. And 482 00:29:54,759 --> 00:29:57,720 that's what the Biden administration got so wrong. First off, 483 00:29:57,759 --> 00:30:00,839 they just allowed Afghanistan to collapse, even though the warning 484 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,240 signs were there in twenty twenty one. And then they 485 00:30:03,359 --> 00:30:06,880 rushed thousands and thousands of Afghan nationals into our country 486 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,160 without applying those heightened standards. That's one reason I fought 487 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,119 for years against the Biden administration effort to give immediate 488 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,279 paths to citizenship to all of these people. And as 489 00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:20,960 you just hurt, Secretary Nomes say, the administration is going 490 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,559 to go back and revisit all of these cases to 491 00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:27,039 make sure that we don't have more such heinous attacks 492 00:30:27,079 --> 00:30:28,599 like the one that we saw last week in watching. 493 00:30:28,759 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I agree they should go back and review 494 00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:33,759 every single one of them. But this is also so 495 00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:38,160 this guy, she's Christy Nomes says he was radicalized while 496 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,720 he was here. I don't know if he was radicalized. 497 00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:45,039 This is a guy who grew up as a child 498 00:30:45,319 --> 00:30:50,640 all the way through his adulthood into his early adulthood 499 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,880 in a war torn country and all he knows is 500 00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:57,960 killing and wars. And how many times did we see 501 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,119 stories about the fact that we had Afghans that were 502 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,680 helping our military and would be armed and would turn 503 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,359 around and shoot and kill soldiers in the field in Afghanistan. 504 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,480 So what makes them tick. It's a different it's a 505 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,839 different world, it's a different culture. And I have often 506 00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:26,000 remarked when we do these refugee stories, I think we're 507 00:31:26,039 --> 00:31:29,000 doing I think our country has a desire to want 508 00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:33,200 everybody to be like us, like we live in our country. 509 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,240 They want the whole world to live like we do. 510 00:31:35,359 --> 00:31:37,880 They think they would want to live like we do. 511 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,720 Maybe not. Maybe if you grew up in the deserts 512 00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:45,640 of Afghanistan and all of a sudden they pick you 513 00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:49,640 up and set you down in Bellingham, Washington, you've got 514 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,440 to be your head's got to be spinning going what 515 00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:58,160 is this? I don't recognize anything about this, and become 516 00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:02,839 you want to call it mentally wacky or what. I 517 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,960 don't know, but I'd reverse the story. How would you 518 00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:10,759 like it if somebody picked you up and dropped you 519 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,839 in the desert of Afghanistan and said, here you go, 520 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,519 and we're not in a war zone. Here you go, 521 00:32:16,839 --> 00:32:21,279 enjoy your life in Afghanistan. Go buy yourself a camel 522 00:32:21,559 --> 00:32:26,720 and a mud hut, and that's your future life. I 523 00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:32,599 think you would go wacky. I think I would. That's 524 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,000 the problem with the refugee programs that we have always done. 525 00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:39,960 We want to pick them up from some far away 526 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,880 country and move them to some town in the United 527 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:50,240 States and expect them to be just fine, because we're fine. 528 00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:54,359 I mean, this is a wonderful lifestyle. But you're literally 529 00:32:55,079 --> 00:32:57,839 taking them out of everything they've ever known and put 530 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,799 them in a culture of which they know nothing. And 531 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,920 so did this guy start to lose his mind? They 532 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,200 said he was having trouble financially. I don't know if 533 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,960 he knew how to get a job. Would you know 534 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,440 how to get a job in the desert of Afghanistan? 535 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,599 Would you be able to support your family? This guy 536 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,640 was having trouble that led to stress. Not making excuses 537 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,880 for what he did, But the idea behind these refugee 538 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,440 programs I think is a disaster. If you were picked 539 00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:33,599 up out of Syria, move them to a country near Syria, 540 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,319 move them to a place where they are not completely 541 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,640 turned upside down, where they might be able to adjust, 542 00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:49,680 so it doesn't No, I'm not making any any excuses 543 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,359 for what he did. I'm just telling you that the 544 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,920 way we handle refugees, I'm surprised one of the cuts 545 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,519 we had on Friday there was I'm surprised this hasn't 546 00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:06,200 happened already. I hope it doesn't happen again. But I suspect, 547 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,880 and that's why I'm glad they're going to go through 548 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,239 everybody and take a look at them again, because I 549 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,679 suspect there's a number of those people that are not 550 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,880 doing well in this country and may lead to mental 551 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:27,920 stresses that could lead to violence. Meantime, Andy McCarthy was 552 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,480 asked about this from the legal standpoint. 553 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 13: Well, we'll obviously see more charges depending on what happens 554 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:40,079 to the to the other soldier who was wounded. I 555 00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:43,320 think the indictment will come sometime in the coming weeks, 556 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,039 and I expect we'll see many more charges. There's no 557 00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:48,679 indication that I've seen so far is Shaw that other 558 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,199 people are involved in this. I don't buy this whole 559 00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:56,239 you know, radicalization. Once he got here, I must say, 560 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,679 I have been following this closely since I prosecuted terrorists, 561 00:34:59,679 --> 00:35:02,079 and then inineteen nineties when they say, you know, he 562 00:35:02,159 --> 00:35:04,960 was fully vetted, I have to ask vetted with what 563 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,599 you know. We've spent like twenty years basically eviscerating the 564 00:35:10,639 --> 00:35:14,480 ability of the United States government to vet people by 565 00:35:14,519 --> 00:35:18,880 taking ideology off the table, taking concepts like jihad off 566 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,599 the table. I don't know what they mean when they 567 00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:23,719 say he was fully vetted when he got here, So 568 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,239 he must have been radicalized once he got here, because 569 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:27,679 I don't know how we vet people. 570 00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:30,159 Speaker 1: Andy hit the nail on the head. I don't know 571 00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:32,519 how we vet people from other parts of the world 572 00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:35,599 as well. So we need to go back and re 573 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,440 examine all of the refugees that came to this country. 574 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,920 I would imagine they would be happy to go back 575 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,079 to some country in that part of the world that 576 00:35:47,159 --> 00:35:53,360 would be familiar to them. All Right, last week was 577 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,440 two weeks ago. All of a sudden, the President went 578 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,239 over to Walter Reid Hospital, and then the news leaked 579 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,840 out last week that he had an MRI, and everybody, well, 580 00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:05,760 what's the matter with the president, what's the matter with 581 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:10,119 the president? Well, Caroline Levitt came out today and had 582 00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:13,000 the results from the MRI, and what was all about. 583 00:36:13,079 --> 00:36:17,559 Speaker 14: As part of President Trump's comprehensive Executive Physical Advanced imaging 584 00:36:17,679 --> 00:36:20,679 was performed because men and his age group benefit from 585 00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:25,440 a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health. The purpose 586 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,400 of this imaging is preventative to identify any issues early, 587 00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:33,559 confirm overall health, and ensure the president maintains long term 588 00:36:33,679 --> 00:36:38,920 vitality and function. President Trump's cardiovascular imaging was perfectly normal. 589 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,519 No evidence of arterial narrowing, impairing blood flow, or abnormalities 590 00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:46,440 in the heart or major vessels. The heart chambers are 591 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,599 normal in size, the vessel walls appear smooth and healthy, 592 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,199 and there are no signs of inflammation or clotting. Overall, 593 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:58,679 his cardiovascular system shows excellent health. His abdominal imaging is 594 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,480 also perfectly normal. All major organs appear very healthy and 595 00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:07,000 well profused. Everything evaluated is functioning within normal limits with 596 00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:11,079 no acute or chronic concerns. In summary, this level of 597 00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:14,440 detailed assessment is standard for an executive physical at President 598 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,360 Trump's age and confirms that he remains in excellent overall health. 599 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 1: So there you go. MRI was his heart and his 600 00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:26,960 abdomen and they found everything was normal. So good for 601 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,960 good for the president, and good health. It sounds like 602 00:37:31,639 --> 00:37:35,679 so Wallstreek today yeah. Well, now we're not going to 603 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,840 skip what we should. But December started off with selling 604 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,559 the Dow Jones Industrials down four hundred and twenty seven 605 00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:50,400 to forty seven eighty nine, SMP down thirty six, NASDACK 606 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:55,239 down eighty nine, Gold went up fifteen dollars to four thousand, 607 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,159 two hundred and seventy and oil up a dollar up 608 00:37:59,159 --> 00:38:03,280 to fifty nine.
