[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, the prisoner exchange is what they call it, but it's not a prisoner exchange. Biden folks, media folks calling it a prisoner exchange. Well, if you are innocent and the Russian government grabs you off the street, are you a prisoner or a hostage?

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_04]: The people that were freed, Paul Whelan, a former Marine, he was innocent on the street, was accused of assaulting a Russian officer, I think it was, but it was false. They held him. It's been, I think, five years.

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_04]: A woman who holds a U.S. Green card and I think a Russian national, but she's a legitimate person being here with a green card. She was visiting her mother in Russia who was sick. She was arrested for some kind of spy thing or whatever, which is totally false.

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_04]: One of my wife's friends and my two kids, you know, the brother and sister are like besties with my son and daughter. And she's from Moldova. It's not Russia, but it's like the same thing. Her mom's there. I can imagine this.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_04]: She looked like her too, kind of. I'm like, oh my gosh, it's this poor sweet lady wanting to care for her mother on the other side of the world.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And she's taken hostage. And the same thing with, oh my gosh, Evan Griskovich from the Wall Street Journal. I mean, that dude is like 30, 36, and he's reporting for the Wall Street Journal.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Nobody says he's, the Wall Street Journal, everybody says he's not, you know, he's totally innocent. He's a reporter. Grabbed off the street with a fake charge that he's doing espionage.

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_04]: So, Russia takes hostages. This is not a prisoner exchange. It is a hostage for prisoner exchange.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_04]: And the prisoners that we exchange are very dangerous and very bad.

[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_04]: If you recall the last time we did this, somebody got bumped up to the front.

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_04]: She was only in jail in Russia for a couple months because she's African-American, a woman, gay, and she's an NBA, WNBA star.

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_04]: So, that's the identity politics of the Biden-Harris administration.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_04]: So, the other, well, Griskovich wasn't taken at that time, I believe.

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_04]: But the other ones were, he wasn't taken at that time.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_04]: But the other ones were not as important.

[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_04]: People that were there for four, three, four years already, former Marine Paul Whelan and others, they were not as important.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no. We got to get the star that the left in the media is, she's a hero.

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Brittany Grimes is a hero because she was making a million dollars a year off-season as a massive celebrity.

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, when NBA, WNBA stars, even though they're just incredible like her, when you go to Russia, you're treated as a celebrity.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_04]: They pay you a lot of money.

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_04]: You come and you have this big celebrity there and she's playing for the audience and they love it.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_04]: But, so she thought she can get away with her hashish habit and it was not marijuana or marijuana oil, a vape marijuana cartridge.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_04]: The Wall Street Journal properly defines it as, calls it a hashish oil cartridge.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_04]: That's a little bit different than marijuana, y'all.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Doesn't matter.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_04]: She broke the laws and I totally believe she did it because she thought she can get away with it because everybody kisses a rump because she's a celebrity.

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_04]: So, she got what she had.

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_04]: She went into a rut.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Her agent said, don't go in there.

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_04]: What are you, stupid?

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, I want to make my million.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, they love me.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_04]: They will never do anything to me.

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, they will, you fool.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_04]: She had no business getting bailed out right away for Waylon and a couple others.

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_04]: So, this was absurd and disgusting.

[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_04]: There's a guy whose family is now attacking the Biden administration who did get busted for weed and I don't have sympathy for him either.

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_04]: You're an idiot.

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_04]: What are you doing?

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_04]: And they've been holding him for, I think, longer than Waylon.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_04]: And they're attacking him because, like, what is this?

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Brittany Griner had worse.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_04]: She had a freaking hashish oil.

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Which is worse than marijuana.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_04]: As far as I'm concerned.

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's worse than marijuana.

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_04]: It's stronger.

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_04]: So, to my knowledge, it's like another step up.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_04]: So, the point is, she's out and he's not.

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Anyways, Joe Biden is encouraging terrorist regimes and enemy regimes to kidnap our civilians.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_04]: This is stupid.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not stupid.

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_04]: It's dangerous.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's wrong.

[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Donald J.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Donald J.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Trump freed 55, more than 55 hostages in four years from Iran and other places and he didn't give them a dang dime.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Joe did.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Kamala Joe did.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_04]: And he gave the Iranians.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_04]: He traded five prisoners, legit prisoners, for five Iranian hostages of ours.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_04]: And he gave them $6 million.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_04]: So, what that says is kidnap Americans.

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_04]: A lot of wonderful people who are missionaries that go undercover in Iran and plant churches that are underground.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_04]: And one of them was that pastor who was kidnapped, if you will, in prison for false charges.

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_04]: And the point here is that Joe Biden and Kamala encourage terrorist regimes, rogue regimes, and enemies to grab people off the street so they can trade them.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, the new people we traded is a man who is an assassin, a Russian agent for the FSB.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like our FBI or CIA was arrested for murdering somebody, assassinating somebody in the streets of Germany.

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Life sentence.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Joe Biden tried to push the German chancellor to release him.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_04]: They eventually did as part of this deal.

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_04]: So, an assassin, a very valuable assassin of Putin.

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_04]: The last guy, as I said, for Brittany Griner was Victor Boot.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Victor Boot was called the Merchant of Death.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_04]: He was a man who was killed.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_04]: He was killed in the death.

[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_04]: He was killed in the death.

[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_04]: And the Justice Department under, I think it was Biden at the time, prosecuted him and sentenced him.

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_04]: He was moving.

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_04]: He has like a fleet of like three, four, five, six, ten, I don't know, it's massive, of retired planes that are like, you know, the C-130 transports we have, like those.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_04]: They carry tanks and Jeeps.

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_04]: He has a fleet of the retired ones from Russia because Putin and him are besties.

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_04]: And he is flying massive arms to the terrorists in Afghanistan to kill us.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_04]: He flew in massive arms into Africa for Africans to kill each other.

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_04]: We're talking 20,000, 30,000 killed each other is what the news reported.

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_04]: And this is who Joe Biden gave for Brittany Griner.

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_04]: We had him, the Merchant of Death.

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_04]: And you know why Putin wanted him?

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Because he's out of, you know and I know he's out of arms for Ukraine.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_04]: He's constantly, now China's replenishing him and Joe won't say a thing about it.

[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Another will come on because they bow to their masters in China.

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_04]: But with boot, Putin wanted him back because he needs armament and illegal weapons that are embargoed.

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_04]: And this guy's going to do it for him.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_04]: We're like, oh, we need, we don't need, we want a Brittany Griner.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_04]: So we'll take her back and give you a guy that helps you win in Ukraine.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_04]: So Joe's making sure that Russia can stay strong in Ukraine and make the war machine rich here in America and, you know, global.

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And the war keeps going on.

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Nobody wins.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_04]: And Joe acts like he's outraged.

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Now you've got a trained assassin.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_04]: You have another guy who with the FSB smuggled hundreds of thousands of illicit musicians, musicians, munitions in support of Moscow's war machine.

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I want to ask you some questions here.

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll continue on.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_04]: There's more stuff.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_04]: It's damning.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_04]: But I agree, and I'll play some audio.

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_04]: John Bolton, the former ambassador, Ambassador John Bolton, who does not like Trump at all anymore, said that this is a bad deal.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_04]: It sets a precedent for innocent Americans being used as bargaining chips.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_04]: He said that on fake news CNN yesterday or CNN, whatever you want to call it.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_04]: And then today, and I also have the audio from how he reacted.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_04]: It was the same way under Brittany Griner.

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_04]: This is a disaster.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Trump got more hostages than eight years of Obama Biden, and he didn't pay a dime.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_04]: You see that?

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_04]: That's because he has cojones and he puts them on the table.

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_04]: This guy, Joe, is afraid of hurting their feelings or afraid of offending them.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't want to start anything.

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_04]: So he bribes them, which means get more people.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Get more of our people, and we'll pay you more.

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll get you whatever you want, whatever terrorist we get.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, look, President Trump got home over 55 American hostages from places like North Korea, Iran, Russia, Yemen.

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_01]: We used military operations where we could and rescued people with our military.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_01]: We never paid a ransom, and we never traded a terrorist, an arms dealer, an assassin, a spy.

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_01]: We never traded those people to get innocent Americans back.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_05]: This is a very bad mistake by the Biden administration.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_05]: This is not a deal.

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_05]: This is not a swap.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_05]: This is a surrender.

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_05]: And terrorists and rogue states all around the world will take note of this,

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_05]: and it endangers other Americans in the future who can be grabbed and used as bargaining chips

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_05]: by people who don't have the same morals and scruples that we do.

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_05]: This is a huge victory for Moscow over Washington,

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and it's the kind of thing that says to terrorists and rogue states and other malign actors

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_05]: who would consider kidnapping or seizing Americans that we're willing to trade almost anything to get Americans back.

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_04]: All right.

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_04]: In the order of appearance, that was NSA – former NSA head Robert O'Brien under Trump,

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_04]: and then the – I think he was only on for a year as an ambassador, John Bolton under Trump,

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_04]: and he despises him, but the truth is the truth, and he tells the truth.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_04]: And that was under Greiner, that piece of audio from him saying it was a huge victory for Putin,

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_04]: but he came out again last night.

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_04]: CNN had him on, and he said the same thing for the most part.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_04]: He said it's a bad deal.

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_04]: It sets precedent for innocent Americans being used as bargaining chips.

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_04]: And he said this is not a prisoner swap.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_04]: It is an innocent American hostage in exchange for prisoners that are –

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_04]: obviously they're very bad and very evil and should not be freed.

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_04]: These are people – oh, here's the other big thing.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_04]: I heard retired Admiral John – or retired General John King – Jack King on Fox News.

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_04]: He's a Fox News contributor, was in the Pentagon before – in the Trump administration before,

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_04]: now going to the Institute for the Study of War, and is now retired.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_04]: But he's a great contributor on Fox News.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_04]: And he said Putin is hurting badly.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_04]: He waged a war that he thought he could win in two weeks,

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_04]: and here we are two, three years later, and it's a stalemate.

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Hundreds – I believe you're looking at between 120,000 or more Russians have been killed

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_04]: as a meat grinder grinds on, and they have barely made any gains.

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_04]: They're kind of a stalemate.

[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Russia's doing better, and they're going to win eventually, unequivocally.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_04]: But – unfortunately, but – because Joe also won't let him.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_04]: And Joe could have stopped.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_04]: It didn't have to happen from the beginning.

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_04]: It was Afghanistan first that fell by Joe Biden's design.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Kamala was the last person in the room.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_04]: She said she signed off on the plan that was a disaster in Afghanistan.

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_04]: And Putin and the world saw that, and they saw that Joe's afraid,

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_04]: and he doesn't – he's incompetent, and that our tail's between our legs.

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_04]: So he surrounded Ukraine with 70,000 troops.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Biden didn't scare Putin.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_04]: He didn't stand firm against Putin.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_04]: In fact, he was asked, would you allow an incursion?

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_04]: What would you do if there's an incursion?

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_04]: He said, well, it depends.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Is it a little incursion?

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Which is breathtaking.

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_04]: He could go in.

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_04]: So he went in, and he's been there for two, three years.

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Biden gives little things, moderate things to Ukraine.

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_04]: When he says he's going to give them F-16s, it takes a year.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't want us in Ukraine anymore.

[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't want us giving money to Ukraine anymore.

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm done with them.

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I think our intelligence should help them, but I agree with Vance and Trump.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a joke.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_04]: It should be negotiated and ended.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_04]: And what's his name?

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Vladimir Zelensky knows that if Trump wins, he's done.

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Hey, come over here.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_04]: You give me more money.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Come on.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_04]: You hump my leg.

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_04]: You kiss my ring.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_04]: He's a celebrity.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Everybody just – he's like, you know, feta.

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_04]: You've got to feta guy.

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_04]: He's feted.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_04]: He's loved.

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_04]: He's practically worshipped in our country, and it's ridiculous on the world stage.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, the other thing that a former station chief of the CIA, Dan Hoffman, said on Fox News yesterday, he was the Moscow head for chief of station for the CIA there.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_04]: He said what we need to be doing is not this, not negotiating, not giving money for terrorists, for civilians that are kidnapped.

[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_04]: We need hard power.

[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_04]: And we need a message that do not take any American or you will be sorry.

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Rescue missions, et cetera.

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_04]: And by the way, what did Joe do last night when he was asked about it?

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_04]: He's like, don't go to Russia.

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't go to these countries.

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_04]: He literally blames the people, including Evan Gerskowicz, who's reporting for The Wall Street Journal.

[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_04]: He blames you or the person that goes there, not the terrorists or enemy countries that are kidnapping our people.

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's the people's fault, and he's letting terrorists and war criminals and murderers free in exchange for our innocent hostages.

[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_04]: So – but the lieutenant – the retired general, Jack Keen, was saying yesterday, so Putin's extremely weak.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_04]: The country is angry at him, and he doesn't want a million people out on the streets.

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_04]: That's why he killed Alexei Navalny.

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Alexei Navalny would snap his fingers, and a million people would show up on the street and be boycotting him, and it was a threat to his leadership and removal.

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_04]: So he killed him, and he said he needs victories so that people don't go nuts and overthrow him because of the fact that he's killed 100,000-plus Russians in war, in a war that he thought he could win in two weeks.

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_04]: So what does he do?

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_04]: He does these – he orchestrates these – he kidnaps people and orchestrates these brilliant strokes, it looks like.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_04]: And he fets these guys with a big hero's welcome, and it's national story.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_04]: It's national news.

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_04]: You let the world see yesterday.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_04]: He gets a win.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_04]: He looks good.

[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_04]: That's why he did this.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_04]: And at the same time yesterday, Dan Hoffman, a former station chief there in Moscow, said for the CIA, said Putin is the weakest he's ever been.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_04]: He's the weakest he's ever been.

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_04]: So what are we doing?

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_04]: We're helping him.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what Joe and Kamala do.

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_04]: In addition to releasing the murderer or the assassin, he also set free another man who's a cyber criminal who was sentenced to 14 years in November of 2017 here in America.

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_04]: For running a massive crime ring that stole the identities of American citizens.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_04]: When you wonder who stole your identity, here it is.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_04]: He stole the identities of a massive amount of American citizens.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Used them for $50 million in credit card fraud, bank fraud, and other crimes.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_04]: He had so many stolen identities that he ended up setting up an automated website to handle high demand from thieves and scam artists.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_04]: His clients enjoyed sophisticated shopping interface where they could search for exactly what kind of stolen credit card data they wanted, make their purchase on a secure online shopping cart, and download the stolen goods as soon as their payments cleared.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Another guy smuggled hundreds of thousands of illicit munitions in support of Moscow's war machine using front companies to conceal his criminal enterprise, one of our assistant attorney generals said at the Justice Department.

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_04]: That's who Joe Biden set free for people that are hostages.

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_04]: In just a few, we're going to get into the unbelievable – the world's on fire.

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_04]: You've got three wars going on right now, and you're about to have most likely a breakout of war in the Middle East.

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_04]: It's closer than it ever has been after what has happened with Hamas being taken out of some Hezbollah leaders from Israel.

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_04]: It's incredible what they did.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_04]: It's brilliant, and I could not be happier.

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_04]: But what's unbelievable to me, and it just never ends, is that Joe Biden is literally criticizing Israel for what he calls a just war, for literally taking out, assassinating the people that are at the top of the organization, the terrorist organization that he calls the terrorist organization, and all of us do.

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_04]: It's official, Hamas.

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_04]: For taking him out, Joe's mad at him.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not kidding you.

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll tell you all about that in a few.

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And I can't wait to get into this in just a minute.

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_04]: But also talking about the prisoner – the Russian hostages released in exchange for terrorist war – I should say – criminals.

[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Criminals who are – two of them are spies and or agents of the state, the FSB.

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like the CIA.

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I guess you can call them a spy.

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_04]: At least that's where I believe it is.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_04]: I looked it up to make sure.

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_04]: But the FSB is not the FBI.

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_04]: It's more like foreign intelligence – counterintelligence and intelligence service for Russia, the Russian government.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_04]: So we're releasing them in exchange for people that Putin kidnapped.

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_04]: And there goes Joe crowing about giving up horrible people that should never leave jail in exchange for people who were kidnapped and crowing about it and saying how awesome he is last night.

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, asking you about that in this whole prisoner release, do you think Biden's trying to set the table for Kamala to act like they've actually achieved something in the last four years?

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll play the soundbite again.

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_04]: It was unbelievable what she said on the tarmac.

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_04]: It made no sense.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_04]: It's embarrassing.

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_04]: And that's why she's done no interviews.

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_04]: She knows it'll be a disaster.

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Her people won't let her do any interviews or whatever, her handlers, because it'll be a disaster.

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_04]: It always is when she does one.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_04]: She can't answer questions without sounding a fool.

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_04]: So I'll play what she said on the tarmac in a minute.

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_04]: But let's go to – actually, I'll play it now.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_04]: It's real quick.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Listen, she had a classic Kamala word salad on the tarmac yesterday.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Joe's like, okay, you're trying to shine here.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_04]: And here she goes.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_00]: This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy.

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_00]: And understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy and strengthening alliances.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_00]: This is an incredible day.

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_04]: This poor woman literally cannot just say, it's an awesome day.

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm proud of what this administration has done.

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_04]: She repeats herself twice.

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_04]: She cannot go off script without sounding like an idiot.

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, one of the things I talked about was Ukraine and how it's Joe Biden's fault that Ukraine was invaded.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_04]: First, because of him abandoning Afghanistan like a dog between – making us look like a dog between a tail – a tail between – running away with its tail between its legs.

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Which gave Putin the green light.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_04]: He's like, okay, I'm going in.

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And he surrounded it.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_04]: And Joe did nothing.

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_04]: And then Joe said, well, is an invasion okay?

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_04]: And he said, well, if it's a little bit.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Which is – which is the – like not only did he already give green lights by his actions and by his terrible policy in Afghanistan, which Kamala was the last person in the room and signed off on.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_04]: She says she's proud of it.

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_04]: That disastrous withdrawal that killed 13 soldiers.

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Joe freed a terrorist from Bagram Air Force Base.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_04]: He abandoned our $1 billion state-of-the-art Air Force Base that we could have been doing strikes and hits.

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Out of all the terrorists in the Middle East, we have no base now anymore.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_04]: And we would have kept 2,500 soldiers.

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Trump had the plan.

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_04]: 2,500 soldiers.

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_04]: They were never going to abandon Afghanistan.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_04]: And they would have a strike force.

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Al-Qaeda and ISIS have resurged.

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_04]: And they now are capable of striking us.

[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Joe has allowed Al-Qaeda and ISIS to get strong, just as strong as it was before we went after them in Afghanistan.

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_04]: And he allowed the Taliban to take over, and the Taliban was housing number one of Al-Qaeda.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_04]: He was the first person underneath Bin Laden, and we got Bin Laden and gave him a dirt nap.

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_04]: And then Iman al-Zawahiri, the physician led Al-Qaeda.

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_04]: He was hanging out in the Taliban's luxury apartment there, and we took him out.

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_04]: We droned him.

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_04]: But he left the administration and its besties with Al-Qaeda, which is where they were to kill us on September 11th.

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Are you sounding familiar?

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_04]: We're back to where we were.

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And Kamal signed off on it.

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_04]: They love this stuff.

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_04]: So here we are.

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, Harry wanted to call on about Ukraine.

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_04]: He apparently disagrees.

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's fine.

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Hey, Harry, thank you for calling on the Pete Calendar Show.

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Chris filling in for Pete on News Talk 1110 and 993 WBTA.

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Thanks.

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm a conservative Republican here.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Can you hear me?

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, I can.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, good.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_04]: I realize I popped you on kind of late.

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_04]: It's my fault, so we'll have to be brief.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_04]: I apologize for that.

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_06]: I tried to talk to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, but he didn't seem to be there.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_06]: In 1936, he gave the Sudetenland to Hitler for peace in our time.

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_06]: And we had World War II killed 55 million people around the world, and 450,000 U.S. military were killed.

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_06]: And I count for many and limited because we didn't stand up to Hitler.

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_06]: We had a chance to stop Putin two years ago, and then the Republicans cut off the money.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Ukraine's in real trouble, but not an American soldier at all.

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Why do you care about Ukraine?

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Why do you care about Ukraine?

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_04]: What interest?

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_04]: What interest?

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Hello, let me ask a question for you.

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_04]: What interest do you have?

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_04]: What interest do we have in Ukraine?

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_06]: He said he's going into Poland, and he's going to reconstitute the Soviet Union.

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_06]: The Japanese will be fighting over there in a few years.

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_04]: No, they won't.

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_04]: No, he's not.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_04]: He's not going into Poland.

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_04]: He is not going into Poland.

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_04]: He is not invading.

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_04]: You have made up your mind.

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_04]: You have made up your mind.

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Putin is Hitler, which is wrong.

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_04]: He's not.

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_04]: And number two, he's not a good guy at all.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a horrible administration.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, a horrible man.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_04]: And he's evil.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I understand that.

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_04]: And I agree with you.

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Hold on a second, my friend.

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Hold on.

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_04]: He is evil.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_04]: And is our adversary and or enemy.

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sure he's our enemy, really.

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_04]: But he's not going into Poland.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_04]: So you're trying to scare.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not saying you're trying to scare people, but you've been scared.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_04]: That's the better way of saying it.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_04]: You've been scared into thinking this.

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_04]: And here we are.

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_04]: It's World War II, and what's his name?

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Hitler's in.

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_04]: If Hitler's in there, we should be standing our boys and girls right now.

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_04]: We shouldn't be appeasing.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Hold on, sir.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_04]: We shouldn't be appeasing.

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_04]: We shouldn't be appeasing Hitler.

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_04]: We're appeasing Hitler, and you're happy right now by being there, but yet not being there.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_04]: So you are pretty close to Never Chamberlain right there.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a shame you don't listen to callers and listen to an opposing view.

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a kind of shame you don't educate yourself.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_06]: I did.

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_04]: I did hear you.

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_06]: You've been shouting me down for the last two minutes.

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I heard what you said.

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_04]: You said that Putin is Hitler, and he's going to invade Poland, and that's not true.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I disagree with you, and I appreciate your call very, very much, sir.

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_04]: You did get your stuff out there.

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, Iran will have enough nuclear material to make a bomb within a week or two as of this past week.

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_04]: They are going to then have to do – they'll get a missile so they can deliver the bomb, and that will be about a year.

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's all going to happen under Joe.

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Israel has proven itself so deft and so incredible with its shin bet and Mossad that they just pulled off the most incredible thing of all time.

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_04]: They planted a bomb in the residence of – it's like a guest house on a compound for the elite people to come and visit the supreme leader, the ayatollah, you know, and the new president of Iran inauguration.

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_04]: And there was the Ismail Haneh, the absolute highest person in all of Hamas.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_04]: He's one of those three billionaires that lives in five-star luxuries and a high-rise in Qatar, which loves terrorists, and that's why they house them and keep them there.

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_04]: And he was visiting and shaking the hands of the new sworn Iranian president.

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_04]: He was there at the ceremony.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_04]: A few hours later, he goes back, and he gets blown up from a bomb that Israel put in there two months before.

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_04]: They blow up so young, don't they?

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, poor guys.

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_04]: It was beautiful, and it was incredible.

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And then the day earlier, it was – Joe Biden said do not bomb Beirut after – which is the capital of Lebanon, and that's after a Lebanon-based Hezbollah armed, trained, and funded by Iran, which is the same as Hamas.

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_04]: They do the same with Hamas.

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_04]: They armed, trained, and everything, and the Houthis in Yemen.

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_04]: And Joe said don't strike back.

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Dude, 12 kids were killed.

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_04]: They were on a playground.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_04]: The audio of it is on my Twitter feed from today.

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Follow me on Twitter, at Chris Croccho, C-H-R-A-S-K-R-O-K.

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_04]: It's terrifying.

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Poor kids.

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_04]: 12 of them died, and Joe said don't strike back because we're trying to get this deal done for peace with terrorists.

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_04]: We're going to let them win, and they stay in power.

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_04]: So what did Israel do?

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_04]: No.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_04]: They killed the guy.

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_04]: They bombed Beirut right where the guy was, and they killed the top leader of that whole operation for Hezbollah.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_04]: And then they finally confirmed yesterday that three weeks, two, three weeks earlier, they killed Mohammed Daif, one of the two top leaders inside of Gaza for Hamas, with a 2,000-pound bunker buster bomb that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris stopped giving.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, you ain't getting those anymore.

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_04]: No problem.

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_04]: We still got this one.

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_04]: So now you have the highest of all of them dead inside of Tehran.

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_04]: You have the two top people, one of the two top, out of the three top leaders of Hamas within the country there, or the territory of Gaza.

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Two are dead, and Joe wants them to survive and win.

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_04]: The one that's left is the most deadly, who also co-planned Mohammed Daif, co-planned with Yachasenwar.

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Sorry, but that's how you pronounce the guy's name.

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_04]: He's still there, and they're going to kill him.

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_04]: And if we have eight American hostages, half are probably dead, but we don't know yet.

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Joe hasn't done a dang thing about it.

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Trump would have sent in and done a lightning raid with our SEAL Team 6 or Green Berets with the top commandos in Israel, and we would have got them out there.

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_04]: And we'd kill those terrorist SOBs, put them in the dirt where they belong, and rescue our people.

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_04]: This guy's a disaster, and then he just came out last night on the tarmac, and he shamed and attacked Israel.

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_04]: He said that killing the freaking leader of Hamas in Tehran has not helped.

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_04]: He was worried about the death of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas, would make a ceasefire difficult, more detailed, more difficult.

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_04]: He wants Kamal and him to look good.

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_04]: He said he's very concerned.

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_04]: He told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the day that the basis for a ceasefire, they had it.

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_04]: He should move on.

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Move on!

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Let the kids be bombed and killed, and they should move on now.

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_04]: He said he ruined the chances of having that happen, and it's not helpful.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_04]: That's Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_04]: They allow terrorists to kill us, dominate us, and our allies, and they hide and they run from them, including Putin.

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, we got folks calling in with the threat of a bomb, and we have also Middle East peace who would bring peace.

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Would you have this kind of war going all over the world and tension if Trump was in?

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And I believe Trump is better.

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_04]: I believe none of this would be happening under Trump, and we all knew it because we saw four years of amazing peace under Trump, the Abraham Accords.

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_04]: And who do you trust to bring peace to the Middle East and to the world back, again, Trump or Kamala Biden?

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_04]: And how concerned are you?

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_04]: The Iranians are about to have a nuclear bomb, that plus a little Ukraine thrown in.

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's go right now at our number, of course, 704-570-1110.

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's go to Craig.

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Craig, you are on News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT.

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Chris in for Pete.

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Hi.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Hi, Chris.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_07]: So like your last caller, I've heard his position before countless times since Putin started this invasion in Ukraine.

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry, whose position?

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_07]: The last caller's position?

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_07]: Well, it's the position that, well, Putin is doing what Hitler did, and we waited and lollygagged along, and look what happened.

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_07]: We had to get in.

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_07]: There's a big difference between him and Hitler.

[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_07]: Hitler didn't have an ICBM arsenal that can wipe us off the planet.

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_07]: He didn't have that.

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_07]: And if he did, I bet you we might have not even gone to Germany.

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_07]: We might have just kept our part of World War II with Japan.

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, are we literally going to risk millions of American lives for a bunch of Ukrainians who don't give a damn about us?

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly right, my friend.

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_04]: And Russia's not going to do a bomb.

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_04]: He saber rattles.

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't threat.

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_04]: He will never do it.

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_04]: He did not do it.

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_04]: He threatened technical nukes.

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_04]: He will not.

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_04]: That's not me saying it.

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_04]: That's experts that have fought him and strategize against him for our Pentagon.

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_04]: And you're dang right.

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's that poor guy.

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_04]: He's Hitler.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_04]: He's going to invade Poland.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_04]: What the heck is brainwashing you?

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Go ahead.

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Everybody's like, who's going to invade Poland?

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's what.

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Even if he does invade Poland, NATO will abandon the United States if it comes to a nuclear war.

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_07]: They're going to abandon us.

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_04]: You know what?

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know about that.

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not going to argue on that point at all.

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_04]: But, I mean, NATO will immediately kick in if Poland is touched.

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_04]: And, look, I'm a Polish-American.

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm a Polak.

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_04]: So let me tell you something.

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_04]: What's that?

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I am, too.

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_04]: 25% Polish.

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_04]: You're a Polish-American.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_04]: You're a Polish-American.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_04]: So you're a Polish-American.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't speak it.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_04]: You're a Polish-American.

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_04]: You're a Polish-American.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_04]: You're a Polish-American.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_04]: You're a Polish-American.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm just a Polish-American.

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I learned that from some of my Polish friends in my family, you know, the older people.

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_04]: My mom called the Polish mafia.

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Half of the entire city of Chicago is Polish.

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Four million out of eight million people are Polish.

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Warsaw is the only city in the world that has more Polish.

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Anyways, so anyways, and those folks love Trump, and they love what we do.

[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_04]: And they love, you know, the cojones that we have under Trump.

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Anyways, the point is we wouldn't let them sit for a second.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's total BS.

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's literally – it's worse than Iraq where you lie.

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_04]: And I supported the war, but it's worse when you lie us into a war.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_04]: It's worse.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, it's happening.

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Ah, Hitler.

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Ah, ah, ah, ah.

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_03]: You're afraid of your own shadow.

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Appreciate your call, Craig.

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Go ahead.

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Go ahead.

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_04]: No, it's – well, it's just – I mean, keep saying that.

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't worry.

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Hopefully we'll win the presidency, and then we'll be able to take care of that.

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you, my friend.

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.
