Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is it war crimes or the fog of war? Can
Afghan terrorists and Somali fraudsters be traced back to the
Biden administration? And is Minority Leader Chuck Schumer really under
attacked by maga? These are the questions posed by this
week's Did they really just say that cuts? I'm Nancy Shack,
I'm Ben Parker, this is news.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Bye.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
The thing was on fire, I was exploded in fire
and smoke. You can't see anything. You got digital'. This
is called the fog of war. This is what you
and the press don't understand. You sit in your conditioned
offices or up on Capitol Hill and you knit pick and.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
You plant fake stories in the Washington Post about kill everybody,
phrases on anonymous sources, not based in anything.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
What Biden did to this country by allowing all these
people to come into our country and destroy our country,
and let all those drugs pour in, let people just
walk across the border like it was nothing.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
The bomb threats against my offices came with the email
subject line MAGA and from an email address alleging the
twenty twenty election was rigged.
Speaker 7 (01:14):
Okay, not for nothing, but if you oh my god,
if you want someone to think that you were being
targeted by hoop AV or C, you do something where
you put a B or C on the bomb.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Honest to God, Honest to God. Really, that was a
Senate Minority leader, Chuck Schumer charging on the Senate floor.
He was on the Senate floor that MAGA wants to
blow him up.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Cut nineteen B I was informed by New York law
enforcement of multiple bomb threats made against my offices in Rochester, Binghamton,
and Long Island. The bomb threats against my offices came
with the email subject line MAGA and from an email
address alleging the twenty twenty election was rigged. Local and
(02:02):
federal law enforcement responded immediately and are conducting full security
sweeps and investigations are ongoing. Everyone, thank God is safe.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
And he's believable, of course, because he did not make
up a fake middle class family for years claiming that
he'd ask them for advice. One and two to your
first point, Maga, of course, if they're going to threaten
anybody would put their name smack dab on the top
of the email saying we're MAGA and we're going to
threaten you.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And you know remember Jesse's that's most bizarre thing.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
I mean, he put Maga right, wore a Maga hat
when he went to do this thing. Look, it's easy
to say, hey, I'm gonna throw Maga's name under the bus,
which is really what whoever?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
If somebody did this with you and I think you're
Jesse Smalllett, know, analogy is really good in let's look
look at it this way too.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Who's mad at Chuck Schumer at the moment? Is it
the Republicans?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Not really Republicans are like, you know, boy, did you
hurt yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
From the starresses? Who are bulblep Adham?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Who are those are the ones who are more likely
to threaten to blow him up? And then the hey,
you know what, let's threaten him and we'll put Maga
in the subject line.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
He'll fall for that. And he did, or he chooses to, by.
Speaker 8 (03:20):
The way, And I do want to say this, just
to kind of keep the playing field somewhat level. Let's
assume even for a second, right.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
That it was somebody who's really stupid and mega, that there.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
Wasn't a person who supported Donald Trump and they did that.
First of all, nothing should ever indict an entire population
of people in this case MAGA. So plus you'd have
to be pretty stupid again to send a threat as
a MAGA PERSONA.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
We got MACA, let me threaten you and sign your
name to it. And then and then you know, I
this is the other part that he did that just
killed me. He then got on his high horse and
listen to this nineteen A.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
As I've said many times, these kinds of violent threats
have absolutely no place, no place in our political system.
No one, no public servant, no staffer, no constituent, no
citizen should ever be targeted for simply doing their job.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But really, really, because I don't know about you, Benjamin,
but I have a clear recollection of Senator Schumer standing
on the Supreme Court steps threatening to Supreme Court justices.
As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that I
(04:42):
still have the cut three B.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
They're taking away fundamental rights. I want to tell you, Gorzatch.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released the
whirlwind and.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
You will pay the price.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
You won't know what hit you if you go forward
with these awful decisions.
Speaker 8 (05:06):
Wait, hold on, wait a second. Ah.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
As I've said many times, these kinds of violent threats
have absolutely no place, no place in our political system.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
Well, I believe in the next project, says that nobody
should be threatened for doing that job. No talk about
the pot calling the kettle black and hypocrisy. That is like,
if you looked up the definition of hypocrisy at this point,
you would see Chuck Schumer's.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
Face rules for thee and not for me.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
That was just it was gobsmacking to me. And this
is this is the minority leader of the United States Senate.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
Maybe you know what, he's getting older, so you never know.
Maybe he forgets things, he says.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I didn't think he was dying Feinstein old or Nancy Pelosio.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
But maybe he is.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
Maybe he forgot what he said on the steps of
the Supreme Court. Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I remember Diane Feinstein forgot that she hadn't been there
for a month. I mean it was just like and this,
They finally said, Diane, you've got to go home.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So I mean, maybe he's gotten there.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
Best for Washington is for politics is not to show
up for a month, or that's not about it or five.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, they can go home and look at their freezer
full of you know, expensive ice cream, whirl wind.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh my God.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Now there was another moment of great hypocrisy this week,
and it came from Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz, who was
in the news all week long and was still.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
By the way long just gonna make fun. Yeah it's Walls, everybody,
says Waltz, and I just like to see.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Him say down the hall walls, Governor Tim.
Speaker 8 (06:34):
War what you call it, But I just.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Governor Walls called into question this week President Trump's physical
and mental ability to do the job cut twenty one.
Speaker 10 (06:48):
This is not normal behavior, it is not healthy. And
presidents throughout time have released a couple of things. They've
released their tax returns, not Donald Trump. And they've released
their medical records, not Donald Trump. And look, the MRI
is one thing. But I think what's most concerning about
this is, as your viewers out there are listening, has
anyone in the history of the world ever have an
(07:09):
MRI assigned to them and have no idea what it
was for? As he says, so, look, it's clear the
presence fading physically. I think the mental capacity again ranting,
you know, crazily at midnight on Thanksgiving about everything else.
There's reasons for us to be concerned. This is a
guy that randomly says the airspace over Venezuela's closed. He's
ruminating on if you could win a nuclear war. Look,
(07:31):
this is a serious position. It's the most powerful position
in the world, and we have someone at midnight throwing
around slurs that demonize our children. At the same time,
he's not solving any of the problems. So I'm deeply
concerned that he is incapable of doing the job.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
First of all, he lied from beginning to end in that.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
First of all, President timp did release his tax returns
A two. We've seen his physical results. He has released those,
and he is solving the problems. And can I just
point out before you jump in here, Ben, that this
guy Tim Walls is the same guy who was an
admitted part of the conspiracy to hide Joe Biden's decline,
(08:13):
saying so and now all of a sudden, he's casting
a spersons on a guy who's brought down inflation, which
is exactly what I was going to say, you know,
took out the Iranian nuclear capabilities, who have settled multiple wars,
who has done I mean, you name it the guys.
And he's only been in office for eight months.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Today's word of the day is hypocrite. Have you heard?
I mean these it's it's amazing how they can go
from one side of the argument, in Schumer's case, you know,
threatening people and then saying nobody should be threatened to Uh,
Joe Biden's fine, Everything's fine, everybody, everybody, It's okay, everybody.
Donald Trump does not seem well in the head. We
you got what okay. First of all, whether either either
(08:52):
Biden was a lunatic or Trump is a lunatic is
a totally different argument. But you can't argue by fine,
Biden's okay, but Trump a little soft in the squash.
And I get it, like if you had said if
you were someone who said Biden was soft in the
squash and then you thought Trump was too okay, fine, whatever,
(09:17):
however you're looking at it right, I mean, Trump is
getting older. I'm sure he's not as sharp as sharp
as he was when he was twenty seven. However, do
you defend Biden to the end of the earth. Oh,
kill you if you make fun of Joe Biden again,
He's fine, and then you come out and you say
garbage like that. Nope, why would anybody believe you on anything.
If you can't just say the truth about simple things. Joe, Listen.
(09:41):
You can love Joe Biden, it's fine. Tim Walls obviously did,
but does did. Joe's not dead. But there's one thing
that you like, and you don't like somebody for their politics,
and that's fine. Joe Biden wasn't fine. And whether you
like him or not for his politics, Biden had some issues.
(10:02):
Donald Trump. You can hate him for his politics, but
then you get up and what it is is he
wants hit not just he, but the whole establishment wants
to do anything and everything they can to undermine to
knock out the pilings of the Trump administration's you know
building here. And you've got Schumer saying, Marget people are
trying to kill me, and Tim Walla say Donald Trump's
(10:24):
not well, he might be mentally insane. Okay, all of
that is only meant to undermine whatever Donald Trump says
or does.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Well, And also what happened is Walls went on the
attack because he was deflecting, I think because his state
is really bleeped up and it's landing right at his door.
Because the great state of Minnesota has become the poster
child or the bastion of a Somali benefits frauding, and
(10:58):
Governor Wallas appears to be at the center of it.
This is a Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam
reporting on the extent of that at this week's cabinet meeting.
That's cut one hundred.
Speaker 11 (11:11):
You told me to look into Minnesota and their fraud
on visas and their programs. Fifty percent of them are fraudulent,
which means that that wacko Governor Walls either is an
idiot or he did it on purpose.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
And I think he's both, sir.
Speaker 11 (11:30):
He brought people in there illegally that never should have
been in this country, said they were somebody that they're not.
They said they were married to somebody who was their
brother or somebody else. Fraudulent visa applications, signed up for
government programs, took hundreds of billions of dollars from the taxpayers,
and we're going to remove them and we're going to
(11:51):
get our money back.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So this is the big problem there. So Walls has
been accused of either being criminal, stupid, or complicit in
the frauding that's going on. So what was his response
to that? Cut nineteen.
Speaker 12 (12:08):
Speaking of the Somali community, President Trump is targeting them
and your state and party, citing fraud is the reason
for his crackdown. Dozens of people of East African descent
have been charged, convicted, and sentenced for stealing more than
a billion dollars in taxpayer money from government programs during COVID.
As you know, Governor, that is more than Minnesota spends
(12:31):
each year to run its Department of Correction. So I
want to give you a chance to respond to this.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Do you take.
Speaker 12 (12:37):
Responsibility for failing to stop this fraud in your state?
Speaker 10 (12:40):
Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail.
Governors don't get to just talk theoretically. We have to
solve problems. And I will note it's not just Somali's.
Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota is a prosperous days,
a well run state or triple A bond rated. But
that attracts criminals. Those people are going to jail. We're
doing everything we can, but to demonize an entire community
(13:02):
on the actions of a few, it's lazy.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Half Okay, So, first of all, he didn't answer the question,
are you taking responsibility? Now I'm taking responsible for people
going to jail. Don't know what that meant. And then
on top of it, he's saying, we have more criminals
than just the Somalis, so don't blame Somali's I mean,
he's saying we have a lot more criminals than that.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
That was his response, by the way.
Speaker 8 (13:26):
Interestingly enough, Christin Nolam had mentioned half of the these
applications were fraudulent. Yeah, I think Tim Wallash is coming
from the corner of well, you know, you might have
a point with half of them being fraudulent, but you're
forgetting that half of them weren't fraudulent. So there's a
ray of sunshine.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Well yeah, that would fit with the Waltz you know,
frame of mind. But first of all, that is what
I would call talking rag time. He doesn't answer the
question because he can't answer the question without making himself
look like a jackass. So he continues on with a
question that an answer does make him look like a jackass,
but he's hoping not a criminal jackass.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I think that's basically what he should go.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
This guy was running for vice president. Ben we almost
had that as a vice president.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
I know, imagine that, well, imagine imagine if he was
vice president, he'd be out of Minnesota and this whole
problem would go away. He should have been vice president,
by the way, since he's so centered on Donald Trump
being insane, which he pretty much alluded to, he should
just claim insanity for all of the nonsense and buffoonery
that's been going on.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And then he couldn't run again. I'm pretty sure that's
what he's thinking.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
He could do, go jail, won't be running again.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I know, well, I don't know you. No, we have
a current.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
The guy in the White House has a criminal film record,
and he's there so president. But President Trump has had enough.
He wants some Molly's out cut.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
Three A I watched.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
One is happening in Minnesota, the land of a thousand Lakes.
Speaker 13 (14:54):
However many lakes, say, have they got a lot of lakes?
But this beautiful place. And I see these people ripping
it off. And now I'm understanding, and you're gonna look
at that guy.
Speaker 14 (15:05):
I hear they ripped off some Adians ripped off that
state for billions of dollars, billions every year, billions of dollars, and.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
They contribute nothing.
Speaker 13 (15:21):
The welfare is like eighty eight percent.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
They contribute nothing.
Speaker 8 (15:27):
I don't want him in our country.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
I'll be honest with you. Okay, somebody say, oh, that's
not politically correct. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
He's had it, he's done.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Minnesota lost nine thousand states lakes in his statement, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
There you go, whatever, a lot of they got a
lot of lakes. Zeros, they a lot of Somalis, and
I want them gone. And they're not the only ones
he wants gone.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He is.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
He's on a jihad against narco terrorists as well.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I believe that's cut one a and have families.
Speaker 15 (15:53):
Being able to live without the fear of their son
or daughter just having a pill to have a little
fun and ending up dying within a period of sixty seconds.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Now, we're not going to let that happen.
Speaker 15 (16:07):
We're not going to let it continue to happen.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
What Biden did to this country by allowing all these people,
and I call them animals in many cases, I think
there are animals to come into our country and destroy
our country and let all those drugs pour in, let
people just walk across the border like it was nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So, and it's all apparently, you know, President Biden's fault,
But he thought I think he expected, and I understand why,
and I think rightly so, that he would have complete
bipartisan support for the war against drugs. I mean, who
would be against the war against drugs? Who would be
against stopping narco terrorists from bringing in fatanyl and cocaine
(16:50):
and all the rest. You would think that that would
have been something we could all get behind, but apparently not.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Remember the old slogan say no to drugs, just say
no to drugs, Yeah, The new mantra is just.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, because his war against drugs has taken a very
ugly turn. Democrats are so anxious to hate Trump. They
even have a problem with blowing up drug smugglers in
international waters. They say that it's a war crime. And
this charge is led by one of the these what
(17:23):
is the term for spying? One of the sedition. One
of the sedition is six senators and congressman who put
out the video saying say just say no to an
illegal military order, and they were referencing blowing up these boats.
And the leader of the sedition of six here is
(17:44):
a Democrat, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, and he was
on CNN and he says the strike on a drug boat,
the second strike on a drug boat. He even thinks
the first strike on the drug boat was a problem.
The second strike seems to be a war crime.
Speaker 16 (17:58):
Cut twelve based on what you but CNN is reporting,
what the Washington Post is reporting. Do you believe if
there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors, that
that constitutes a war crime?
Speaker 17 (18:15):
It seems to that if that is true, if what
has been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns about
anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line
that they should never step over.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
We are not Russia, We're not a wreck.
Speaker 17 (18:33):
We hold ourselves to a very high standard of professionalism.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
You know, here's my big issue here. There's many, but
this is the one that sticks in my crop. So
Mark Kelly, who was in Congress during the Biden administration,
never came out and said anything about war crimes or
overstepping the boundaries when the Biden administration used drones to
blow up civilians in Afghanistan, never said a worried about it,
(19:00):
never said it was a problem, never said it overstepped.
And that was a deliberate drone strike to kill civilians,
not narco terrorists, but civilians. In fact, this is Biden
NSA spokesman Adamiral John Kirby on MSNBC in twenty twenty
one when asked about the drone strike and was this
a problem. Was anybody going to be going to be
(19:22):
chastised for it or put on probation or suspended or
any of the above, be punished for killing civilians with
a drone, which is in fact a war crime. His
response was, Oh, no, this was just a learning experience.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Cut ten.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
So how does it strike you that no one is
held accountable? Because I know how it strikes a lot
of people around.
Speaker 17 (19:42):
The world that you can get away with murder and
nobody's punished for it.
Speaker 18 (19:45):
I do understand that we appreciate that not everybody's gonna
support this decision. What I can tell you is we
looked at this thing very, very comprehensively, and again we
acknowledged that there were procedural breakdowns, processes were not executed
the way they should have been. But it doesn't necessarily
indicate that an individual or individuals have to be held
to account for that.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
But look, this is more discipline inside the Pentagon at all.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
I mean, maybe they're no charges brought up.
Speaker 17 (20:11):
But is anyone demoted or disciplined for what happened, then
what we are.
Speaker 14 (20:15):
Going to do.
Speaker 18 (20:15):
There's not going to be individual discipline as a result
of this, really, but what we are going to do
is learn from this, and we're going to enact and
improve our procedures in our processes to try to make
sure this doesn't happen again.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
All right, So let me just put it to you
this way. Republicans blow up drug smuggler is killing two
hundred thousand Americans a year, War crimes. Democrat blows up
civilians coming home from a wedding with a drone in Afghanistan,
including eight children learning experience. What is wrong with this picture?
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Well, first of all, the drug dealers got got a
learning experience out of all. Yeah, I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That they did.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
They will be dealing, They won't be doing that anymore, exactly, no, no, no,
no no. So this this again goes to the seam
of hypocrisy that's going on at this moment, which is
just you know, it's overwhelming to me that this is
an example of them peeing on us and telling us
that it's reigning and it's like, I'm sorry you did
worse than that in twenty twenty one, but that was okay,
(21:13):
that was learning.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
This president is.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Trying to stop people who want to kill you from
coming into the country and killing innocent people, and.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's a war crime.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So there is a horrible disconnect there and it's one
of the reasons why I think the Democrat Party is
in such trouble. But what they've done at the moment
is they've targeted the Secretary of now War, Pete hag Seth,
who has told everybody, you don't know what you're talking about.
We made this decision and what he called the fog
(21:46):
of war. Cut thirteen A.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Edward Bradley made the correct decision to ultimately sink the
vote and eliminate the threat. He sunk the vote and
eliminated the threat, and he was the right call. We
have his back and the American people are safer because
narco terrorists. No, you can't bring drugs through the water
and eventually on land if necessary.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
I have to do it to the American people.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
We will eliminate that threat, and we're proud to do it.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
So you didn't see any survivors.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
To be clear, after that first shot, I did not
personally see survivors.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
But I stand because the thing was on fire. I
was exploded in fire and smoke. You can't see anything.
You got digital'. This is called the fog of war.
This is what you and the press don't understand. You
sit in your air conditioned offices or up on Capitol Hill,
and you nit pick, and.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
You plant fake stories in the Washington Post about kill everybody,
phrases on anonymous sources, not based in anything, not based
in any truth at all, And then you want.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
To throw up really irresponsible terms about American heroes.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Okay, can I just say, by the way, he should
have stopped while he was ahead, because then going after
you were all sitting in your air conditioned offices. So
you're telling me that the office that he had at
the Pentagon was no on air conditioned because he was
not on the ship. He makes it sound like he
was on the ship and smoke was in his eyes.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
He was not.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
He was back at the Pentagon in a beautiful I've
been there, gorgeous office and by the way, has very
nice air condition because it's Washington, d C. And you
really can't survive with that air conditioning in DC. So
and I'm not quite sure he understands what fog of
war means. Fog of war does not mean there's smoke
in your eyes, So fog of war means yeah, fog
(23:26):
of war means that it's so overwhelming what's happening, that
your perceptions may not be accurate. And that's what the
fog of war is as opposed to being back at
the farm, you know, where you watching something on a
video screen that is not the fog of war.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
But I want.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Everybody else to decide, is Pete hag Seth right? Was
this the fog of war or is it a war crime?
How would you characterize what happened in you know, killing
in the Caribbean back in September or basically, they shot
the Venezuelan Narco terrorist ship with one strike missile strike,
which did its job, but then the admiral wasn't quite
(24:05):
sure if that boat could still be used, so he
shot it again and killed There were two survivors who
were killed in the second strike. Okay, you know, I
think once you're on a narco terrorist boat heading for
the United States and you've been told that we're going
to blow anybody that we find doing that out of
the water, and you're still on the boat, and you're
still on the route to Washington, and I kind of
think you get what you asked for.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
But I don't think you need to have.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
An explanation of the fog of war versus war crimes.
But I'd like to know what everybody else thinks about that,
you know.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
And obviously, if I was sitting on a tribunal that
was going to convict to someone or do something to
someone for this incident, I'd have to hear all the
evidence first. However, here's how I think of the off
the boat. Here's how I think off the top of
the boat. If you're in a narco terrorist boat and
the boat gets hit and sinks, and two guys survive
(24:55):
and they're in the water and somebody comes by with
a machine gun and finishes them off completely, I mean,
I would absolutely like want somebody hung. However, if the
goal is we need to sink these boats, hey, that
boat's not sunk. Hit it again, I don't think there's
anything wrong with that. I mean, that's just my I
haven't heard all the evidence that I'm not sitting on
a tribute.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
But if that's the case, then I don't have a
problem with the admiral saying that boat's still that boat's
still usable, so knock it out because we, you know,
because we don't want to have to deal with it
again on some future time with more people getting hurt.
So you do it now and now. I did hear
one argument from somebody this morning that I thought was ludicrous,
but I just thought I would share it with you.
(25:36):
I mean, people died, so I understand that this is not,
you know, funny haha, but it is funny weird. And
the argument that I heard from somebody, and my response was,
don't help me in this argument, was that, well, these
guys would have been eaten by sharks, so actually it
was an act of mercy to kill them. I'm thinking,
oh my god, that is the one argument I would
not make in this situation. I much prefer Benjamin's where
(25:59):
it's the boat was still usable.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So if the boat is still usable, you got to
kill the boat.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
You don't know if there's people, you don't know if
there's people surviving or not. All you know that is
everybody on there is a criminal who's out to kill Americans.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
They were told not to do it, they did it.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Anyway, you got to stop the boat so you don't
have to come up against the boat again. That's I
think where the admiral was coming from. And again, like
you guess, on my part, I'm sure we will all
find out because once people start throwing around the term
war crimes, I'm sure we're going to have a hearing
after hearing after hearing on it, and we'll find out more.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
Lucy Goosey with the war crimes, oh my.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
God, just like the term racism. You know, everybody's a
racist now, everybody's now everybody's guilty.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Of war crimes. It's like, you know, oh my god,
you're both are you well, no committed war crimes? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (26:48):
Sure, why not just keep going like everybody else in
the probably a war criminal. Yeah, well, let's put it
this way. And and you're right, I mean, the people
throw around racism, so in theory, to some one somewhere,
I probably am a racist, or I mean that's what
they think of them.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Fascist. Fascist is also reused.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
Yeah, and I've also tried to kill Chuck Schumer with
bombs everything else, and yeah, you never know so but
but I mean, obviously being an American h and a
proud one at that. I'm sure that a lot of
people on this planet believe I myself am a war
criminal because we're tied to all of the actions of
our country, right, I mean Ben Parker, big, big guy,
he's in favor of war crimes. In fact, he's planning
(27:29):
them at home right now.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, and well you know you are really good.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Well you know, between in between sending emails with the
MAGA MAGA autumn, I'm planning war crime.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
So I think you need to send one from MAGA
to the NAACP threatening a bomb threat and to commit
war crimes.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
With anybody or myself personally, war with anybody.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Never know who's going to come down and trigger you. Anyway,
we end every week with the truth control. This week
is no different. This is President Trump. He's on air Force.
One reporter demanded snow when the public could ex ucked
him to release his MRI results. He had a very
interesting response. And you tell me, was he screwing with
this reporter or did he really think this cut one new.
Speaker 19 (28:10):
Station, failing failing news station is doing allows you, by
the way, but if you want to have it released,
a releaseing you were looking releasing?
Speaker 8 (28:22):
No, no, no, what part of your body was the
m looking.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I have no idea which.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Is an mr What part of the body It wasn't
the brain? Because I took a cognitive fest and I hastened.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I got a.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
Perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing. You
buy everybody, you too?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I like that you too? It points to a different reporter.
You too couldn't pass it.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
I don't know which part of that is supposed to
be the truth. Control wasn't the part that he doesn't
know where the MRI is or the fact that that
person couldn't pass them.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I think there's two options there. I think you can
pick one. It could be either one. It could be
I don't know. I'm sorry when they when you have
an MRI done, you kind of know what part of
your body there.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I've had them done, You've had them done.
Speaker 14 (29:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I've had them done for my spine. I was pretty
aware of what they were mriing.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
So well, I'm going to go in the other direction.
First of all, I think that he was truthing when
he told that reporter that she couldn't pass a cognitive test.
I think he really believed that.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Do you think he might have been trolling on the
MRI said, well, it's a combo. It's a combo.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
Respect I don't know. And as a person who just
recently and I mentioned this to you off the air,
had had an MRI, I'm having another one as well.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
But so.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
I thought I was going in for a bladder test,
bladder exam. They were going to look at my bladder, right, yeah.
And when I got in there and they did, I
mean they went in that general direction. But when they
were done, and I was talking to the person who
did it, because of course they can't tell you. They
just say, well, blah blah blah, and the radiologist to
look at this and blah blah blah. She said that, oh,
(29:52):
because here's what happened. I had two appointment schedule, and
I thought, well, they were going to do another appointment.
So I said, when's the other appointment supposed to be
right after this one. She says, there's not another appointment.
They're all together. We looked at your bladder and then
we didn't examine your prostate. So in theory, I didn't
know they were gonna look at my prostate when I
went in, but they did, so, I mean, look that
that doesn't mean he didn't know what they were looking at.
(30:13):
But I'm just saying that sometimes there are We're done
and and now now the White House did say that
this was like a full body scan kind of thing,
like an MRI I And to be.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Honest with you, that makes me feel good.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'm happy the president's getting scanned because you know, as
far as I'm concerned, if there's something wrong with let's
find out.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
So theoretically, if they're scanning your whole body or a
big portion of your body, the truth is you might
not know exactly what they are looking So I think
maybe maybe that is at least mostly truth. I mean,
he should have look look. They always say, hey, listen,
you're the patient. You asked the doctor, so he could
have said, what did you look at? And they would
(30:49):
have said, we looked.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
At this, or he's like therefy.
Speaker 8 (30:52):
I got the best medical care in the Whatever you're
looking at, I assume you gotta look at it.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I got some narco terrorists, black, I got.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
I got a book, and I gotta start some more
crime processes.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah, I'm sorry, I got war crimes stiff. I'll come back.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
I'm gonna go with the I'm gonna go with the
truth on the fact that he doesn't think that woman
can pass a cognitive test, and that he also wasn't sure.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
What they scared, right, Ben's for the truth, I'm I'm
the mixed one. I think he knew exactly what they
are mri ing, and I don't think he thinks it's
I don't think he cares to tell anybody. I think
he's probably fine, and he likes screwing with people, so
and I think he's absolutely telling the truth when he
doesn't think the reporters can pass the cognitive exams. I
think he absolutely believes that. So you can let us
know if you agree or disagree with Ben and I
(31:34):
we upload a new hour. You can contact us on
x at Newsbite three or on Facebook at news bite
and we upload a new episode every single Monday. So
check back next week and see what new offerings we have. Meanwhile,
have a great week.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker. This is Deuce Bite.
Is it war crimes or the fog of war? Can
Afghan terrorists and Somali fraudsters be traced back to the
Biden administration? And is Minority Leader Chuck Schumer really under
attacked by maga? These are the questions posed by this
week's Did they really just say that cuts? I'm Nancy Shack,
I'm Ben Parker, this is news.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Bye.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
The thing was on fire, I was exploded in fire
and smoke. You can't see anything. You got digital'. This
is called the fog of war. This is what you
and the press don't understand. You sit in your conditioned
offices or up on Capitol Hill and you knit pick and.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
You plant fake stories in the Washington Post about kill everybody,
phrases on anonymous sources, not based in anything.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
What Biden did to this country by allowing all these
people to come into our country and destroy our country,
and let all those drugs pour in, let people just
walk across the border like it was nothing.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
The bomb threats against my offices came with the email
subject line MAGA and from an email address alleging the
twenty twenty election was rigged.
Speaker 7 (01:14):
Okay, not for nothing, but if you oh my god,
if you want someone to think that you were being
targeted by hoop AV or C, you do something where
you put a B or C on the bomb.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Honest to God, Honest to God. Really, that was a
Senate Minority leader, Chuck Schumer charging on the Senate floor.
He was on the Senate floor that MAGA wants to
blow him up.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Cut nineteen B I was informed by New York law
enforcement of multiple bomb threats made against my offices in Rochester, Binghamton,
and Long Island. The bomb threats against my offices came
with the email subject line MAGA and from an email
address alleging the twenty twenty election was rigged. Local and
(02:02):
federal law enforcement responded immediately and are conducting full security
sweeps and investigations are ongoing. Everyone, thank God is safe.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
And he's believable, of course, because he did not make
up a fake middle class family for years claiming that
he'd ask them for advice. One and two to your
first point, Maga, of course, if they're going to threaten
anybody would put their name smack dab on the top
of the email saying we're MAGA and we're going to
threaten you.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And you know remember Jesse's that's most bizarre thing.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
I mean, he put Maga right, wore a Maga hat
when he went to do this thing. Look, it's easy
to say, hey, I'm gonna throw Maga's name under the bus,
which is really what whoever?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
If somebody did this with you and I think you're
Jesse Smalllett, know, analogy is really good in let's look
look at it this way too.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Who's mad at Chuck Schumer at the moment? Is it
the Republicans?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Not really Republicans are like, you know, boy, did you
hurt yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
From the starresses? Who are bulblep Adham?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Who are those are the ones who are more likely
to threaten to blow him up? And then the hey,
you know what, let's threaten him and we'll put Maga
in the subject line.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
He'll fall for that. And he did, or he chooses to, by.
Speaker 8 (03:20):
The way, And I do want to say this, just
to kind of keep the playing field somewhat level. Let's
assume even for a second, right.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
That it was somebody who's really stupid and mega, that there.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
Wasn't a person who supported Donald Trump and they did that.
First of all, nothing should ever indict an entire population
of people in this case MAGA. So plus you'd have
to be pretty stupid again to send a threat as
a MAGA PERSONA.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
We got MACA, let me threaten you and sign your
name to it. And then and then you know, I
this is the other part that he did that just
killed me. He then got on his high horse and
listen to this nineteen A.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
As I've said many times, these kinds of violent threats
have absolutely no place, no place in our political system.
No one, no public servant, no staffer, no constituent, no
citizen should ever be targeted for simply doing their job.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But really, really, because I don't know about you, Benjamin,
but I have a clear recollection of Senator Schumer standing
on the Supreme Court steps threatening to Supreme Court justices.
As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that I
(04:42):
still have the cut three B.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
They're taking away fundamental rights. I want to tell you, Gorzatch.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released the
whirlwind and.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
You will pay the price.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
You won't know what hit you if you go forward
with these awful decisions.
Speaker 8 (05:06):
Wait, hold on, wait a second. Ah.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
As I've said many times, these kinds of violent threats
have absolutely no place, no place in our political system.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
Well, I believe in the next project, says that nobody
should be threatened for doing that job. No talk about
the pot calling the kettle black and hypocrisy. That is like,
if you looked up the definition of hypocrisy at this point,
you would see Chuck Schumer's.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
Face rules for thee and not for me.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
That was just it was gobsmacking to me. And this
is this is the minority leader of the United States Senate.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
Maybe you know what, he's getting older, so you never know.
Maybe he forgets things, he says.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I didn't think he was dying Feinstein old or Nancy Pelosio.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
But maybe he is.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
Maybe he forgot what he said on the steps of
the Supreme Court. Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I remember Diane Feinstein forgot that she hadn't been there
for a month. I mean it was just like and this,
They finally said, Diane, you've got to go home.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So I mean, maybe he's gotten there.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
Best for Washington is for politics is not to show
up for a month, or that's not about it or five.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, they can go home and look at their freezer
full of you know, expensive ice cream, whirl wind.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh my God.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Now there was another moment of great hypocrisy this week,
and it came from Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz, who was
in the news all week long and was still.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
By the way long just gonna make fun. Yeah it's Walls, everybody,
says Waltz, and I just like to see.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Him say down the hall walls, Governor Tim.
Speaker 8 (06:34):
War what you call it, But I just.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Governor Walls called into question this week President Trump's physical
and mental ability to do the job cut twenty one.
Speaker 10 (06:48):
This is not normal behavior, it is not healthy. And
presidents throughout time have released a couple of things. They've
released their tax returns, not Donald Trump. And they've released
their medical records, not Donald Trump. And look, the MRI
is one thing. But I think what's most concerning about
this is, as your viewers out there are listening, has
anyone in the history of the world ever have an
(07:09):
MRI assigned to them and have no idea what it
was for? As he says, so, look, it's clear the
presence fading physically. I think the mental capacity again ranting,
you know, crazily at midnight on Thanksgiving about everything else.
There's reasons for us to be concerned. This is a
guy that randomly says the airspace over Venezuela's closed. He's
ruminating on if you could win a nuclear war. Look,
(07:31):
this is a serious position. It's the most powerful position
in the world, and we have someone at midnight throwing
around slurs that demonize our children. At the same time,
he's not solving any of the problems. So I'm deeply
concerned that he is incapable of doing the job.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
First of all, he lied from beginning to end in that.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
First of all, President timp did release his tax returns
A two. We've seen his physical results. He has released those,
and he is solving the problems. And can I just
point out before you jump in here, Ben, that this
guy Tim Walls is the same guy who was an
admitted part of the conspiracy to hide Joe Biden's decline,
(08:13):
saying so and now all of a sudden, he's casting
a spersons on a guy who's brought down inflation, which
is exactly what I was going to say, you know,
took out the Iranian nuclear capabilities, who have settled multiple wars,
who has done I mean, you name it the guys.
And he's only been in office for eight months.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Today's word of the day is hypocrite. Have you heard?
I mean these it's it's amazing how they can go
from one side of the argument, in Schumer's case, you know,
threatening people and then saying nobody should be threatened to Uh,
Joe Biden's fine, Everything's fine, everybody, everybody, It's okay, everybody.
Donald Trump does not seem well in the head. We
you got what okay. First of all, whether either either
(08:52):
Biden was a lunatic or Trump is a lunatic is
a totally different argument. But you can't argue by fine,
Biden's okay, but Trump a little soft in the squash.
And I get it, like if you had said if
you were someone who said Biden was soft in the
squash and then you thought Trump was too okay, fine, whatever,
(09:17):
however you're looking at it right, I mean, Trump is
getting older. I'm sure he's not as sharp as sharp
as he was when he was twenty seven. However, do
you defend Biden to the end of the earth. Oh,
kill you if you make fun of Joe Biden again,
He's fine, and then you come out and you say
garbage like that. Nope, why would anybody believe you on anything.
If you can't just say the truth about simple things. Joe, Listen.
(09:41):
You can love Joe Biden, it's fine. Tim Walls obviously did,
but does did. Joe's not dead. But there's one thing
that you like, and you don't like somebody for their politics,
and that's fine. Joe Biden wasn't fine. And whether you
like him or not for his politics, Biden had some issues.
(10:02):
Donald Trump. You can hate him for his politics, but
then you get up and what it is is he
wants hit not just he, but the whole establishment wants
to do anything and everything they can to undermine to
knock out the pilings of the Trump administration's you know
building here. And you've got Schumer saying, Marget people are
trying to kill me, and Tim Walla say Donald Trump's
(10:24):
not well, he might be mentally insane. Okay, all of
that is only meant to undermine whatever Donald Trump says
or does.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Well, And also what happened is Walls went on the
attack because he was deflecting, I think because his state
is really bleeped up and it's landing right at his door.
Because the great state of Minnesota has become the poster
child or the bastion of a Somali benefits frauding, and
(10:58):
Governor Wallas appears to be at the center of it.
This is a Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam
reporting on the extent of that at this week's cabinet meeting.
That's cut one hundred.
Speaker 11 (11:11):
You told me to look into Minnesota and their fraud
on visas and their programs. Fifty percent of them are fraudulent,
which means that that wacko Governor Walls either is an
idiot or he did it on purpose.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
And I think he's both, sir.
Speaker 11 (11:30):
He brought people in there illegally that never should have
been in this country, said they were somebody that they're not.
They said they were married to somebody who was their
brother or somebody else. Fraudulent visa applications, signed up for
government programs, took hundreds of billions of dollars from the taxpayers,
and we're going to remove them and we're going to
(11:51):
get our money back.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So this is the big problem there. So Walls has
been accused of either being criminal, stupid, or complicit in
the frauding that's going on. So what was his response
to that? Cut nineteen.
Speaker 12 (12:08):
Speaking of the Somali community, President Trump is targeting them
and your state and party, citing fraud is the reason
for his crackdown. Dozens of people of East African descent
have been charged, convicted, and sentenced for stealing more than
a billion dollars in taxpayer money from government programs during COVID.
As you know, Governor, that is more than Minnesota spends
(12:31):
each year to run its Department of Correction. So I
want to give you a chance to respond to this.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Do you take.
Speaker 12 (12:37):
Responsibility for failing to stop this fraud in your state?
Speaker 10 (12:40):
Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail.
Governors don't get to just talk theoretically. We have to
solve problems. And I will note it's not just Somali's.
Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota is a prosperous days,
a well run state or triple A bond rated. But
that attracts criminals. Those people are going to jail. We're
doing everything we can, but to demonize an entire community
(13:02):
on the actions of a few, it's lazy.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Half Okay, So, first of all, he didn't answer the question,
are you taking responsibility? Now I'm taking responsible for people
going to jail. Don't know what that meant. And then
on top of it, he's saying, we have more criminals
than just the Somalis, so don't blame Somali's I mean,
he's saying we have a lot more criminals than that.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
That was his response, by the way.
Speaker 8 (13:26):
Interestingly enough, Christin Nolam had mentioned half of the these
applications were fraudulent. Yeah, I think Tim Wallash is coming
from the corner of well, you know, you might have
a point with half of them being fraudulent, but you're
forgetting that half of them weren't fraudulent. So there's a
ray of sunshine.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Well yeah, that would fit with the Waltz you know,
frame of mind. But first of all, that is what
I would call talking rag time. He doesn't answer the
question because he can't answer the question without making himself
look like a jackass. So he continues on with a
question that an answer does make him look like a jackass,
but he's hoping not a criminal jackass.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I think that's basically what he should go.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
This guy was running for vice president. Ben we almost
had that as a vice president.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
I know, imagine that, well, imagine imagine if he was
vice president, he'd be out of Minnesota and this whole
problem would go away. He should have been vice president,
by the way, since he's so centered on Donald Trump
being insane, which he pretty much alluded to, he should
just claim insanity for all of the nonsense and buffoonery
that's been going on.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And then he couldn't run again. I'm pretty sure that's
what he's thinking.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
He could do, go jail, won't be running again.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I know, well, I don't know you. No, we have
a current.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
The guy in the White House has a criminal film record,
and he's there so president. But President Trump has had enough.
He wants some Molly's out cut.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
Three A I watched.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
One is happening in Minnesota, the land of a thousand Lakes.
Speaker 13 (14:54):
However many lakes, say, have they got a lot of lakes?
But this beautiful place. And I see these people ripping
it off. And now I'm understanding, and you're gonna look
at that guy.
Speaker 14 (15:05):
I hear they ripped off some Adians ripped off that
state for billions of dollars, billions every year, billions of dollars, and.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
They contribute nothing.
Speaker 13 (15:21):
The welfare is like eighty eight percent.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
They contribute nothing.
Speaker 8 (15:27):
I don't want him in our country.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
I'll be honest with you. Okay, somebody say, oh, that's
not politically correct. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
He's had it, he's done.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Minnesota lost nine thousand states lakes in his statement, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
There you go, whatever, a lot of they got a
lot of lakes. Zeros, they a lot of Somalis, and
I want them gone. And they're not the only ones
he wants gone.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He is.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
He's on a jihad against narco terrorists as well.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I believe that's cut one a and have families.
Speaker 15 (15:53):
Being able to live without the fear of their son
or daughter just having a pill to have a little
fun and ending up dying within a period of sixty seconds.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Now, we're not going to let that happen.
Speaker 15 (16:07):
We're not going to let it continue to happen.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
What Biden did to this country by allowing all these people,
and I call them animals in many cases, I think
there are animals to come into our country and destroy
our country and let all those drugs pour in, let
people just walk across the border like it was nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So, and it's all apparently, you know, President Biden's fault,
But he thought I think he expected, and I understand why,
and I think rightly so, that he would have complete
bipartisan support for the war against drugs. I mean, who
would be against the war against drugs? Who would be
against stopping narco terrorists from bringing in fatanyl and cocaine
(16:50):
and all the rest. You would think that that would
have been something we could all get behind, but apparently not.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Remember the old slogan say no to drugs, just say
no to drugs, Yeah, The new mantra is just.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, because his war against drugs has taken a very
ugly turn. Democrats are so anxious to hate Trump. They
even have a problem with blowing up drug smugglers in
international waters. They say that it's a war crime. And
this charge is led by one of the these what
(17:23):
is the term for spying? One of the sedition. One
of the sedition is six senators and congressman who put
out the video saying say just say no to an
illegal military order, and they were referencing blowing up these boats.
And the leader of the sedition of six here is
(17:44):
a Democrat, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, and he was
on CNN and he says the strike on a drug boat,
the second strike on a drug boat. He even thinks
the first strike on the drug boat was a problem.
The second strike seems to be a war crime.
Speaker 16 (17:58):
Cut twelve based on what you but CNN is reporting,
what the Washington Post is reporting. Do you believe if
there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors, that
that constitutes a war crime?
Speaker 17 (18:15):
It seems to that if that is true, if what
has been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns about
anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line
that they should never step over.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
We are not Russia, We're not a wreck.
Speaker 17 (18:33):
We hold ourselves to a very high standard of professionalism.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
You know, here's my big issue here. There's many, but
this is the one that sticks in my crop. So
Mark Kelly, who was in Congress during the Biden administration,
never came out and said anything about war crimes or
overstepping the boundaries when the Biden administration used drones to
blow up civilians in Afghanistan, never said a worried about it,
(19:00):
never said it was a problem, never said it overstepped.
And that was a deliberate drone strike to kill civilians,
not narco terrorists, but civilians. In fact, this is Biden
NSA spokesman Adamiral John Kirby on MSNBC in twenty twenty
one when asked about the drone strike and was this
a problem. Was anybody going to be going to be
(19:22):
chastised for it or put on probation or suspended or
any of the above, be punished for killing civilians with
a drone, which is in fact a war crime. His
response was, Oh, no, this was just a learning experience.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Cut ten.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
So how does it strike you that no one is
held accountable? Because I know how it strikes a lot
of people around.
Speaker 17 (19:42):
The world that you can get away with murder and
nobody's punished for it.
Speaker 18 (19:45):
I do understand that we appreciate that not everybody's gonna
support this decision. What I can tell you is we
looked at this thing very, very comprehensively, and again we
acknowledged that there were procedural breakdowns, processes were not executed
the way they should have been. But it doesn't necessarily
indicate that an individual or individuals have to be held
to account for that.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
But look, this is more discipline inside the Pentagon at all.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
I mean, maybe they're no charges brought up.
Speaker 17 (20:11):
But is anyone demoted or disciplined for what happened, then
what we are.
Speaker 14 (20:15):
Going to do.
Speaker 18 (20:15):
There's not going to be individual discipline as a result
of this, really, but what we are going to do
is learn from this, and we're going to enact and
improve our procedures in our processes to try to make
sure this doesn't happen again.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
All right, So let me just put it to you
this way. Republicans blow up drug smuggler is killing two
hundred thousand Americans a year, War crimes. Democrat blows up
civilians coming home from a wedding with a drone in Afghanistan,
including eight children learning experience. What is wrong with this picture?
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Well, first of all, the drug dealers got got a
learning experience out of all. Yeah, I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That they did.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
They will be dealing, They won't be doing that anymore, exactly, no, no, no,
no no. So this this again goes to the seam
of hypocrisy that's going on at this moment, which is
just you know, it's overwhelming to me that this is
an example of them peeing on us and telling us
that it's reigning and it's like, I'm sorry you did
worse than that in twenty twenty one, but that was okay,
(21:13):
that was learning.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
This president is.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Trying to stop people who want to kill you from
coming into the country and killing innocent people, and.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's a war crime.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So there is a horrible disconnect there and it's one
of the reasons why I think the Democrat Party is
in such trouble. But what they've done at the moment
is they've targeted the Secretary of now War, Pete hag Seth,
who has told everybody, you don't know what you're talking about.
We made this decision and what he called the fog
(21:46):
of war. Cut thirteen A.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Edward Bradley made the correct decision to ultimately sink the
vote and eliminate the threat. He sunk the vote and
eliminated the threat, and he was the right call. We
have his back and the American people are safer because
narco terrorists. No, you can't bring drugs through the water
and eventually on land if necessary.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
I have to do it to the American people.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
We will eliminate that threat, and we're proud to do it.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
So you didn't see any survivors.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
To be clear, after that first shot, I did not
personally see survivors.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
But I stand because the thing was on fire. I
was exploded in fire and smoke. You can't see anything.
You got digital'. This is called the fog of war.
This is what you and the press don't understand. You
sit in your air conditioned offices or up on Capitol Hill,
and you nit pick, and.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
You plant fake stories in the Washington Post about kill everybody,
phrases on anonymous sources, not based in anything, not based
in any truth at all, And then you want.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
To throw up really irresponsible terms about American heroes.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Okay, can I just say, by the way, he should
have stopped while he was ahead, because then going after
you were all sitting in your air conditioned offices. So
you're telling me that the office that he had at
the Pentagon was no on air conditioned because he was
not on the ship. He makes it sound like he
was on the ship and smoke was in his eyes.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
He was not.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
He was back at the Pentagon in a beautiful I've
been there, gorgeous office and by the way, has very
nice air condition because it's Washington, d C. And you
really can't survive with that air conditioning in DC. So
and I'm not quite sure he understands what fog of
war means. Fog of war does not mean there's smoke
in your eyes, So fog of war means yeah, fog
(23:26):
of war means that it's so overwhelming what's happening, that
your perceptions may not be accurate. And that's what the
fog of war is as opposed to being back at
the farm, you know, where you watching something on a
video screen that is not the fog of war.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
But I want.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Everybody else to decide, is Pete hag Seth right? Was
this the fog of war or is it a war crime?
How would you characterize what happened in you know, killing
in the Caribbean back in September or basically, they shot
the Venezuelan Narco terrorist ship with one strike missile strike,
which did its job, but then the admiral wasn't quite
(24:05):
sure if that boat could still be used, so he
shot it again and killed There were two survivors who
were killed in the second strike. Okay, you know, I
think once you're on a narco terrorist boat heading for
the United States and you've been told that we're going
to blow anybody that we find doing that out of
the water, and you're still on the boat, and you're
still on the route to Washington, and I kind of
think you get what you asked for.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
But I don't think you need to have.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
An explanation of the fog of war versus war crimes.
But I'd like to know what everybody else thinks about that,
you know.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
And obviously, if I was sitting on a tribunal that
was going to convict to someone or do something to
someone for this incident, I'd have to hear all the
evidence first. However, here's how I think of the off
the boat. Here's how I think off the top of
the boat. If you're in a narco terrorist boat and
the boat gets hit and sinks, and two guys survive
(24:55):
and they're in the water and somebody comes by with
a machine gun and finishes them off completely, I mean,
I would absolutely like want somebody hung. However, if the
goal is we need to sink these boats, hey, that
boat's not sunk. Hit it again, I don't think there's
anything wrong with that. I mean, that's just my I
haven't heard all the evidence that I'm not sitting on
a tribute.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
But if that's the case, then I don't have a
problem with the admiral saying that boat's still that boat's
still usable, so knock it out because we, you know,
because we don't want to have to deal with it
again on some future time with more people getting hurt.
So you do it now and now. I did hear
one argument from somebody this morning that I thought was ludicrous,
but I just thought I would share it with you.
(25:36):
I mean, people died, so I understand that this is not,
you know, funny haha, but it is funny weird. And
the argument that I heard from somebody, and my response was,
don't help me in this argument, was that, well, these
guys would have been eaten by sharks, so actually it
was an act of mercy to kill them. I'm thinking,
oh my god, that is the one argument I would
not make in this situation. I much prefer Benjamin's where
(25:59):
it's the boat was still usable.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So if the boat is still usable, you got to
kill the boat.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
You don't know if there's people, you don't know if
there's people surviving or not. All you know that is
everybody on there is a criminal who's out to kill Americans.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
They were told not to do it, they did it.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Anyway, you got to stop the boat so you don't
have to come up against the boat again. That's I
think where the admiral was coming from. And again, like
you guess, on my part, I'm sure we will all
find out because once people start throwing around the term
war crimes, I'm sure we're going to have a hearing
after hearing after hearing on it, and we'll find out more.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
Lucy Goosey with the war crimes, oh my.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
God, just like the term racism. You know, everybody's a
racist now, everybody's now everybody's guilty.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Of war crimes. It's like, you know, oh my god,
you're both are you well, no committed war crimes? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (26:48):
Sure, why not just keep going like everybody else in
the probably a war criminal. Yeah, well, let's put it
this way. And and you're right, I mean, the people
throw around racism, so in theory, to some one somewhere,
I probably am a racist, or I mean that's what
they think of them.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Fascist. Fascist is also reused.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
Yeah, and I've also tried to kill Chuck Schumer with
bombs everything else, and yeah, you never know so but
but I mean, obviously being an American h and a
proud one at that. I'm sure that a lot of
people on this planet believe I myself am a war
criminal because we're tied to all of the actions of
our country, right, I mean Ben Parker, big, big guy,
he's in favor of war crimes. In fact, he's planning
(27:29):
them at home right now.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, and well you know you are really good.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Well you know, between in between sending emails with the
MAGA MAGA autumn, I'm planning war crime.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
So I think you need to send one from MAGA
to the NAACP threatening a bomb threat and to commit
war crimes.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
With anybody or myself personally, war with anybody.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Never know who's going to come down and trigger you. Anyway,
we end every week with the truth control. This week
is no different. This is President Trump. He's on air Force.
One reporter demanded snow when the public could ex ucked
him to release his MRI results. He had a very
interesting response. And you tell me, was he screwing with
this reporter or did he really think this cut one new.
Speaker 19 (28:10):
Station, failing failing news station is doing allows you, by
the way, but if you want to have it released,
a releaseing you were looking releasing?
Speaker 8 (28:22):
No, no, no, what part of your body was the
m looking.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I have no idea which.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Is an mr What part of the body It wasn't
the brain? Because I took a cognitive fest and I hastened.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I got a.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
Perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing. You
buy everybody, you too?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I like that you too? It points to a different reporter.
You too couldn't pass it.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
I don't know which part of that is supposed to
be the truth. Control wasn't the part that he doesn't
know where the MRI is or the fact that that
person couldn't pass them.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I think there's two options there. I think you can
pick one. It could be either one. It could be
I don't know. I'm sorry when they when you have
an MRI done, you kind of know what part of
your body there.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I've had them done, You've had them done.
Speaker 14 (29:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I've had them done for my spine. I was pretty
aware of what they were mriing.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
So well, I'm going to go in the other direction.
First of all, I think that he was truthing when
he told that reporter that she couldn't pass a cognitive test.
I think he really believed that.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Do you think he might have been trolling on the
MRI said, well, it's a combo. It's a combo.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
Respect I don't know. And as a person who just
recently and I mentioned this to you off the air,
had had an MRI, I'm having another one as well.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
But so.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
I thought I was going in for a bladder test,
bladder exam. They were going to look at my bladder, right, yeah.
And when I got in there and they did, I
mean they went in that general direction. But when they
were done, and I was talking to the person who
did it, because of course they can't tell you. They
just say, well, blah blah blah, and the radiologist to
look at this and blah blah blah. She said that, oh,
(29:52):
because here's what happened. I had two appointment schedule, and
I thought, well, they were going to do another appointment.
So I said, when's the other appointment supposed to be
right after this one. She says, there's not another appointment.
They're all together. We looked at your bladder and then
we didn't examine your prostate. So in theory, I didn't
know they were gonna look at my prostate when I
went in, but they did, so, I mean, look that
that doesn't mean he didn't know what they were looking at.
(30:13):
But I'm just saying that sometimes there are We're done
and and now now the White House did say that
this was like a full body scan kind of thing,
like an MRI I And to be.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Honest with you, that makes me feel good.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'm happy the president's getting scanned because you know, as
far as I'm concerned, if there's something wrong with let's
find out.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
So theoretically, if they're scanning your whole body or a
big portion of your body, the truth is you might
not know exactly what they are looking So I think
maybe maybe that is at least mostly truth. I mean,
he should have look look. They always say, hey, listen,
you're the patient. You asked the doctor, so he could
have said, what did you look at? And they would
(30:49):
have said, we looked.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
At this, or he's like therefy.
Speaker 8 (30:52):
I got the best medical care in the Whatever you're
looking at, I assume you gotta look at it.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I got some narco terrorists, black, I got.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
I got a book, and I gotta start some more
crime processes.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah, I'm sorry, I got war crimes stiff. I'll come back.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
I'm gonna go with the I'm gonna go with the
truth on the fact that he doesn't think that woman
can pass a cognitive test, and that he also wasn't sure.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
What they scared, right, Ben's for the truth, I'm I'm
the mixed one. I think he knew exactly what they
are mri ing, and I don't think he thinks it's
I don't think he cares to tell anybody. I think
he's probably fine, and he likes screwing with people, so
and I think he's absolutely telling the truth when he
doesn't think the reporters can pass the cognitive exams. I
think he absolutely believes that. So you can let us
know if you agree or disagree with Ben and I
