Trump Brings Peace to the Middle East

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The big news of the day is the return of
all the Israeli hostages. As President Trump's peace plan, or
at the very least the first stages of it, have
been accepted, and it's a really significant stage that it
makes me kind of think the whole thing could actually work.
I'll admit I was skeptical of it, only in so

(00:22):
far as I was skeptical that Hamas would go along
with it. Now. President Trump's peace plan was, I think,
different from most of the things I've read from the
sort of generic liberal leaning foreign policy blob, where it

(00:43):
was the first time I had heard like, this is
our two state solution proposal, where there was actually some
sort of reasonable way that it could happen, unlike all
the other two state solutions, which were just recognize a
Palestinian state without a lot of preconditions on the Palestinians

(01:08):
in Gaza in the West Bank. Because you can't have
a two state solution if one of the two states
hates the other state, wants all of its citizens to
die and doesn't recognize its validity and is committed to

(01:30):
ongoing terroristic slash military attacks against it. You can't have
a two state solution if one of the two states
wants the other state dead. So President Trump's peace plan
I think was solid in so far. It was solid

(01:50):
in so far as it recognizes that reality. You can't
have a two state solution like that, and it demands
basically a disarmament of Hamas and Hamas no longer being
in charge now. For that reason, I had thought this
peace plan is not going to work, just because I

(02:11):
didn't think and I mean I was giving Trump kudos
for it, and I thought, well, on his part, I
thought it was good. I thought it was a very
clear eyed assessment of the actual problems. I just didn't
think Hamas would go for it. I just didn't think
Hamas would be like, Okay, yes, But it seems like
Hamas went for it. And why did they go for it? Well,

(02:34):
I think it's a couple of reasons. One is because
and there's already starting to be some I think it
was a New York Times story about Biden administration officials
sort of feeling very bittersweet about the day that they're
like happy that you know, obviously it's kind of ridiculous

(02:55):
to not be happy that the Israeli hostages are all
being returned and the war is ending. But at the
same time, the Biden people are, oh, we would have
we could have done this if we were still in charge,
we would have been able to pull this off. Why
would they not have been able to pull this off?
A couple of thoughts. One is because the Trump administration

(03:20):
fundamentally shifted the whole American attitude towards Iran. Iran, which
was the big funder for Hamas. Hamas was one of
its proxies whom it was funding for terror operations, and
a lot of people think that there was evidence of

(03:41):
coordination with the Iranians before the October seventh, twenty twenty
three attack happened. There's funding from the Iranians, coordination from
the Iranians. The Iranians had their hands all over this.
And basically what you had from the first Trump administration
to the Biden administration was this total shift in attitudes

(04:03):
towards Iran, and it keeps pingponging from Obama to Trump
to Biden to Trump. Under Obama, it was thought full
engagement with Iran, helping out Iran with all this with
domestic energy production, which was so ridiculous, like the Iranians saying, oh, yeah,
we want nuclear power for domestic energy productions. Like you're

(04:25):
sitting on oil. You've got more oil than Like you're
a country. You're a country that's sitting on tons and
tons of oil. What do you guys need nuclear power for?
You got all the oil you can use. You don't
need nuclear What are you doing because you care about
the environment? Like, what are we talking about? No, they

(04:47):
wanted nuclear energy so that they could pursue nuclear weapons.
That was why. And they wanted to pretend it was
for domestic energy production, and really they wanted to pursue
nuclear weapons. And the so the Obama people thought, well,
maximal engagement with Iran, helping them come into the circle,
helping them with domestic nuclear production, lowering tensions with Iran.

(05:08):
That was the key to Middle Eastern peace and sort
of shove the Israelis to the side, shove the Saudis
to the site. The Trump administration took the opposite approach. No,
the Iranians are the bad actors. We need to isolate
and starve their economy. Put sanctions on them, don't buy

(05:31):
their oil, don't let other people buy their oil, so
that this regime can get strangled and not fund its
military proxies all over the Middle East. It's you know,
when the single largest state sponsor of terrorism choke off
its funding so it can't fund terrorist operations all over
the world. After the Trump administration did that in the

(05:54):
first Trump administration, what do you see, oh reprochmamp between
Israel and a lot of the Sunni Arab countries. Bahrain,
United Arab Emirates sign peace treaties and trade negotiation and
trade deals and exchange embassies with the Israelis, which had

(06:17):
never been ever. Nobody thought that would ever happen in
a million years. And of course if Bahrain did it
and the United Arab Emirates did it, that was with
the tacit blessing of Saudi Arabia. You've got a softening
of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel. Why because these
countries have finally decided not to have their foreign policy
be dictated to them by the Palestinian problem for forever, forever, forever.

(06:42):
So the first Trump administration does this, Biden wins. Biden,
I think purely because Trump did a thing, therefore we
have to do the opposite. Goes back to trying to
engage with the Iranians. Tries to reinstate the Iranian deal,
takes away the actions on their oil sales. Guess what,
They make a bunch of money in oil sales. And

(07:04):
in October seventh, twenty twenty three, they launched the horrible
attack against the Israelis. Take a bunch of Israeli hostages.
Trump gets back into office, and what does he immediately do?
Puts in again, takes this anti Iranian posture the Israelis,

(07:27):
and then the Americans destroy Iran's nuclear program, destroy their
nuclear ambitions. The Iranians have run out of money. They
don't have the money to keep funding their proxy terror
sponsors like Hamas. I don't think the timing is coincidental
that this piece happens after Hamas is kind of out

(07:47):
of options. They've been crushed militarily by the Israelis in Gaza,
they almost got killed in Katar. The Israeli Air Force
almost successfully assessed and needed all their leadership. I guess
they missed or didn't get them. They don't have the
money from Iran anymore, so they're kind of running out

(08:09):
of options, and I think that's why this deal gets accepted.
It's because Hamas is out of options and why do
I think that, Well, the one piece of leverage Hamas
still had, the one piece of leverage they had was
the hostages. The hostages was all they had left to

(08:34):
serve as leverage, and they've just given them up. Now
they're getting a bunch of piece of crap Hamas fighters
released from Israeli detention. I guess like there's like nineteen
hundred bad actor Hamas types whom the Israelis were holding
that they've released. The Israelis have always been willing to

(08:55):
agree to these ridiculously lopsided exchanges where they get, you know,
ten hostages and the bodies of nine hostages back and
in return they give back nineteen hundred horrific Hamas fighters.
And this is a part and parcel with the Jewish
people have this really deeply held, deeply committed priority towards

(09:20):
being able to bury their dead, and the Hamas takes
ruthless advantage of that sort of religious commitment on the
part of the Jewish people. So anyway, hostages have been exchanged,
cease fires happened. Now it remains to be seen if

(09:46):
the rest of this deal will continue. But Hamas has
given up all of its leverage that's the thing. Hamas
has given up its leverage. They don't have that leverage anymore.
They don't have the hostages. I don't have that bargaining
chip anymore. So, and it seems that they've agreed at

(10:06):
least to these first steps for you know, the Israeli
military to withdraw to a certain point. Hostages are being
released or the bodies of the hostages are being released
in exchanged, and we're now at a point where perhaps
this ongoing peace plan can develop. So it's a pretty
remarkable thing. I mean, we're not at which leads me

(10:31):
to the whole Nobel Peace Prize thing. Now on a
certain level, now, Trump clearly wants a Nobel Peace Prize.
He's dying for it. And you could even I saw
a little clip of his granddaughter Kai, who I forget
which Trump kid she's the daughter of. I can't remember

(10:55):
if it's Donald, if she's like Donald Junior's daughter or
Eric's daughter or whatever, and she's interviewing asking him like, well,
what what is it? I mean, you've made it your president,
what helps you to keep going? And Trump said, you know,
I'm motivated to be a great president now that I'm president.
I'm motivated to be a great president, and I think
that a Nobel Prize is like one of these things

(11:15):
that Trump I think finds very attractive, and he's obviously
kind of been lobbying for it. And the Nobel Committee
they were asked like, hey, did you consider President Trump
for this, and they said, no, we only give the
Nobel Prize to people with integrity. It's like, all right,

(11:35):
you get they've given the note. The list of like
horrible people to whom they've given the Nobel Peace Prize
is fairly long and distinguished. Or people who like people
who after the fact turned out to be total monsters
or total slimeballs is pretty long. And then even and then,
I mean the reward was forever tainted by the fact

(11:59):
that they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Yaser era
fat of all people, Yasser Arafat, who was for a
long time the head of the Palestinian Authority or whatever
Palestine was called. He was the head guy for Fatah.
So within Palestine you kind of had these two sort
of quasi political religious parties. He had Fatah, which was
a bit more secular and hated the Jews, and Hamas,

(12:22):
which is way more religious and also hates the Jews.
So Arafat was in charge of Fatah and had engaged in, organized,
directed tons of terrorist attacks against the Israelis, tons and
never actually agreed to a peace plan between the Israelis
and the Palestinians, even after Bill Clinton gave him everything

(12:43):
he wanted on a silver platter. Clinton was able to
get the guy he wanted elected as Israeli Prime minister,
gave him this big old offer and this you know,
Bill Clinton was dying to get this as his signature,
you know, presidential accomplishment of you know, brokering a genuine,
lasting two state solution piece between Israel and Palestine, and

(13:04):
Arafat didn't accept it, and then starts, you know, having
more Palestinian terrorist attacks shortly after, because yeah, and then
they gave Yaser Arafat the Nobel Peace Prize. And the
way like liberals in Europe talked about Yaser Arafat, it's
like he was, you know, Mahatma Gandhi and Jump all

(13:27):
the second like combined into one person, and it was
always ridiculous. Anyway, So he got a Nobel Peace Prize
for kind of thinking about bringing about peace between Israel
and Palestine. Trump's done way more than that, for God's sake,
and he doesn't get it. They give it to some
gal who's I guess, ahead of various opposition movements to

(13:49):
the regime in Venezuela and Nicholas Maduro's regime in Venezuela,
which is very oppressive and this horrible socialist government. And
she goes and says, well, I dedicate this President Trump now. One.
I think on her part that's smart because she's like,
I want, you know, be a good, good idea for

(14:10):
me to be in Trump's good graces if I want
more help with, you know, combating this horrible regime in Venezuela.
But also I think somewhat that I don't think she's
purely just opportunistic. I think for her she's probably willing
to acknowledge what anyone with eyes can see, like this
is a massive accomplishment that Trump's pulled off. And for

(14:34):
her sake, who has been the best supporter for the
opposition movements in Venezuela. Well, it's probably been Marco Rubio
and Donald Trump. So I think she's probably acknowledging like
he's being extremely helpful in the United States, posture towards

(14:54):
the socialist you know, regime in Venezuela is extremely helpful
to her cause. And you know, kissing up to President
Trump a little bit doesn't hurt either. So I guess
I don't know how much anyone should care about the
whole Nobel Peace Prize, Like it's it's honestly, it's a

(15:14):
prize that's put together. Like the committee is like five
random guys from was it Norway or Sweden? I forget
which one. It's like five random guys. Uh. Clearly they're
just sort of liberals and they're like, oh, we're not
going to give to Donald Trump or what are you
talking about, even though it's like, well, you know, this
is a really you know, ended a war like the

(15:35):
Israeli Gaza war right now is basically over. He got
all the hostages returned. I mean, I don't know the
Barack Obama got the Nobel And the other big person
who forever tainted the Nobel Peace Prize was Barack Obama,
who if he Obama should have had the decency to

(16:00):
say no, I'm not going to receive this. Obama got
it in two thousand and nine. He hadn't even been
president for any length of time. He hadn't accomplished anything.
He won it just because liberals were like, oh, he's
just bringing such a fresh attitude. He won it because
he wasn't George W. Bush. That was it. That was
the long and short of it. And if Obama had

(16:24):
had any shred of dignity, he would have said, no,
I can't receive the Nobel Peace Prize. I've been president
for five minutes. Why don't you wait until I've accomplished
something as president and then you guys can think about it.
But no, he didn't do that. He accepted it because
he's enormously vain, which you know, he's president of the
United States. A lot of presidents are pretty enormously vain.

(16:48):
But it's a hugely significant thing. And I feel like
this accomplishment if you're riding the Wikipedia entry on Donald Trump, like,
you know, ten years from now writing his obituary, whatever,
the accomplishment of the last two weeks for bringing and
I guess we got to see what happens. You know,

(17:09):
there's a lot more time left in his presidency, a
lot more time to see how this whole Israeli Palestine
piece brokerage works. If the whole peace plan can actually
be enacted if this is really successful, though, this gets
to be the first par within the first paragraph of

(17:29):
the Trump obituary, the way that the Camp David Accords
were for Jimmy Carter. I mean, the one thing you
can say that Jimmy Carter helped accomplish was the Camp
David Accords, which brought about peace between Israel and Egypt.
And if Trump can actually bring about a lasting piece
and an actual two state solution of some sort, that's

(17:52):
going to be you know, again, the first paragraph of
his obituary, when we return, can he bring peace to
Ukraine and Rrussia? Next? That's on the John Girardi show.
Trump's success with Israel and Palestine, it makes me wonder
next about the other big conflict in the world, which

(18:13):
Trump also seems very eager to resolve, which is Ukraine
and Russia. Can he actually bring peace to Russia and Ukraine?
I guess one of the things that has is a
good aspect of Trump's foreign policy, which when he was elected,
I don't know how many people would have thought, yes,

(18:34):
his foreign policy is going to be his defining feature.
I think everyone sort of thought his trade policy would
be kind of his signature thing or like economic domestic
economic things, and instead it's turned out I think probably
his foreign policy has been largely incredibly successful. One of

(18:59):
the things that I think has been a good aspect
of Trump's foreign policy is the lack of ideology within it.
So ideology is kind of a tough word to define.
I've been hearing it for twenty years and haven't really
been able to define it very well. But I think
the idea of because I think you do need ideology

(19:21):
for some things. Ideology is basically, I am holding to
certain core fundamental ideals and beliefs regardless of circumstance. I'm
holding to the insistence on holding to your beliefs regardless

(19:45):
of circumstance. Now, sometimes that's really really important and something
really good and fundamental to do. You know, I am
fundamentally pro life. That's one of my things I'm not
changing about. But when you get into the practical world,
the practical application of principles that is involved in politics,

(20:09):
holding onto ideology can something sometimes be unhelpful, especially if
the things you're holding onto, the things you're ideologizing, are
not really fundamental, and Trump is fundamentally not an ideological person.
I don't think he's an ideological person in any respect,
almost other than tariffs being good. But when it comes

(20:30):
to foreign policy, he's definitely not hide bound to any
sort of ideologies. He's definitely not hide bounded. This is
the way that foreign policies. This is the policy we
should have towards Ukraine, this is the we have to
deal with Israel and Palestine. This way we have to
say two state solution, bab blah blah. He's not hide
bound to any of these old ways of thinking about anything,

(20:51):
including with Russia and Ukraine. So he gets into office
this big time Ukraine skeptic and thinking he can maybe
like coax a deal out of Putin. And you got
a lot of Republicans skeptical about Ukraine. They're thinking this
is sort of a playground for corruption. Why are we
just is just a never ending military funding for Ukraine

(21:13):
and they're never gonna win. So Trump enters off as
very hostile, has the bad, you know, the very abrasive
meeting with Zelensky, and over time Trump has finally come
around to the conclusion which some people would say, well,
he should have realized this from the get go, that
Putin is just fundamentally not a trustworthy actor to work with.

(21:35):
And now Trump and Putin have been at real loggerheads,
and Trump is becoming more and more open to and
supportive of Ukraine's military ambitions, where now we've got stories
about wanting to sell I forget if it was javelin
missiles or something to the Ukrainians to help them win.
You had that big truth social post about how I

(21:57):
think we can get the Ukrainians all their land back. Why? Well,
I think because Trump realized Putin's sort of two faced,
and Trump has told talked about this publicly. How you know, Oh,
I had this great conversation with Putin and then Milania
says to him, oh, really, well, because he just bombed
another hospital. And Milania is clearly very hostile to Putin

(22:20):
and has had some influence on Trump in this regard.
And I'm not saying wrongly so at all. Putin's really
bad guy. And Milania has actually set up that there's
a story about this, how she has set up back
channels to I guess her office or whatever through the government,
backchannels to Putin for allowing the release of Ukrainian children

(22:42):
captured by the Russians to be reunited with their families,
which is really cool. You know. I'm very impressed by that.
On her part. I think what's happening with Trump is
this sort of shift. He's not like ideologically Pott and
Kettle committed to the idea of no, we should not
support the Ukrainians, or no, we have to oppose the

(23:02):
Russians and formally defeat them. I think he's just very practical,
and what he realizes is the Ukrainians I as president,
and the Ukrainians don't have much leverage. If I give
them some more military support in this or that regard,
I can gain the leverage to help bring about a
negotiated settlement to this war. And I think that's what's

(23:23):
happening right now. He wants to give the Ukrainians enough
of a military edge to gain some leverage so that
in negotiations with Putin he actually has some negotiating leverage,
which I think is smart. When we return the fascinating

(23:45):
insanity of the Virginia elections next on the John Girardi Show,
all right, I want to turn your attention to something
that's interesting me, which is the elections in Virginia and
everything going on Virginia politics right now. I know we're
in Fresno, California, and you don't care about what's going
on in Virginia. I get it, but I'm interested in it.

(24:09):
And this is my show. So if you want to
talk about something, you're interested and you can go get
your own radio show. I'm going to talk about this,
and I have interest in it for a couple of reasons. One,
I've been visiting Virginia a bit more often over the
last year. My brother and sister in law lived there
in northern Virginia, DC suburbs, and the politics of what's
going on in Virginia right now are crazy and they

(24:31):
so fit in with a lot of like big national
politics that I think it's interesting and I want to
share with you. Okay, so let me first give you
a sketch of Northern Virginia, the DC suburbs of northern Virginia.
You think North Fresno is nice, you think Woodward Park,

(24:57):
van Ness Extension, you think all that is very posh. Right,
go to northern Virginia and you will see posh. Okay,
everyone in Northern Virginia is crazy, rich, seemingly. I mean,

(25:17):
you drive around It's not actually true that everyone in
Northern Virginia is rich, but property values in Northern Virginia
are like the San Francisco La level crazy. It's much
crazier than Fresno, you know, for this whole region that
is so Pott and Kettle committed to the notion that

(25:39):
Elon Musk is the most evil guy ever. You know, Tesla, Tesla, Tesla, BMW, Tesla, Tesla, Lexus, Tesla, Tesla, Mercedes,
Tesla Tech. Just the cars going by, You're like Holy
smokes and just more Tesla's per square inch than anywhere
I saw. Actually, when I was out there are a

(26:00):
couple of was it there? I think it was that
I saw at least one or two bumper stickers with
people who said I bought it before I knew he
was crazy or before he was evil, or something like that.
A bumper sticker on your Tesla just to let people
know that you don't like Elon Musk, because god forbid
someone think that you like Elon Musk because he voted
for Trump. So super liberal and this very preachy, Biden

(26:25):
esque twenty twenties style liberalism. Everyone is a covid lunatic.
People were wearing masks in Northern Virginia that there are
still a decent sub section of people wearing masks in
Northern Virginia in twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five,
like ultimate COVID crazy, A lot of people with the

(26:49):
yard signs that say, in this house we believe science
is real. Love is love. Da Da da da da da.
If you google in this house we believe yard sign,
you'll know. You'll see what I mean. The super preachy,
ultra woke, ultra aggressive twenty twenties liberalism. Northern Virginia is

(27:09):
like the epicenter of it. And why is it? Why
is it both so rich and so liberal the federal government.
As I've mentioned, the only place in America where the
government shut down is a big deal, like a really
big deal is Washington d C. Northern Virginia and the

(27:32):
Maryland suburbs. That's it. That's the only place where the
shutdown is a big deal. Why because a huge percentage
of people who work in the greater Washington d C
metro area Washington d C, Northern Virginia, Maryland either work
for the federal government or are contractors working for the

(27:55):
federal government, or are in law firms whose clients are federal.
Like I didn't even realize this, but one of the
when Trump first got in office, he was like removing
security clearances from a bunch of people, and Liberals were
complaining about it, and I didn't fully understand it, and
I was like, well, who cares, you don't have a
security clearance. I mean, go do something else. That's a

(28:17):
big deal actually in DC Northern Virginia, especially for law firms.
So that was a big deal that there were these
law firms who were wholesale getting their security clearances pulled.
Why well, there's all kinds of government contractor work and
government legal representation work that law firms, individual lawyers, et

(28:37):
cetera work on where it involves like military stuff or
Intelligence service stuff or State department whatever, where you have
to have some level of a security clearance just to work,
just to apply your trade. So if you're a law
firm and you don't have a security clearance and you're
in Washington, d C. It limits all kinds of different

(28:59):
There are all kinds of different contractors that you can't represent,
all kinds of government entities you can't represent or work
for or work on it's actually a big hindrance in
the DC area to not have a security clearance when
you're working in various kinds of fields, especially law. So
just this huge percentage of the city of the region

(29:20):
is dependent on the federal government and who has been
largely the people who've staffed the federal government Liberals. The
percentage of federal government workers who vote for Democrats is astonishing,
and d C is like maybe the most liberal city
in America. It's like, I think DC itself is like

(29:42):
ninety ten or something like. It's nuts, It's nuts. I
have to look up what DC's election results were. DC
election results twenty twenty four, because DC gets its own
electoral votes anyway. Well, i'll figure that out later. Now, Okay,

(30:06):
Kamala Harris got ninety percent of the vote. Yes, so okay,
I was not exaggerating. Kamala Harris got ninety point twenty
eight percent of the vote. Donald Trump got six point
four to seven percent of the vote. Wow, so there
was like three and a half percent, about three and
a half percent didn't even vote for Trump. Who got

(30:28):
the rest of it? Gosh? Was it like Robert F.
Kennedy got some votes? Anyway? So DC is crazy liberal
and the elections happening right now in Virginia are highlighting
all of the insanity of Northern Virginia liberalism. So what's

(30:53):
going on? You're like, what are you? What are you
talking about? Elections? It's twenty twenty five, all right. Virginia
is on a very weird Virginia and New Jersey are
the two states like this. They're on a really weird
elections schedule where their elections happened the year following one
year following, not during an even numbered year, on an
odd numbered year. The Virginia and New Jersey governor's races

(31:18):
and a lot of their lower statewide office races happened
the year following a presidential race. And it's very high
stakes in Virginia in no small part because their governors
cannot serve multiple terms. In Virginia, the governor only has
a one term term limit, one four year term and

(31:38):
then he's he or she is done. So it's very
weird and it's very interesting. And the New Jersey governor's race,
I think is similar. Think New Jersey governors can serve
multiple terms, I'm not sure, but Virginia's governor can only
serve one term. So it was a huge sort of
earthquake four years ago when the current Republican governor of

(32:04):
Virginia won. Why well, because Donald Trump had lost Virginia
by fifteen Donald Trump had lost the governor of Virginia
race by like fifteen points. And so when the Republican nominee,

(32:25):
Glenn Youngkin I was searching for his name, Glenn Youngkin,
Youngkin's running for governor the year after Donald Trump lost
the twenty twenty election. Donald Trump loses Virginia by like
fifteen points. Youngkin is a huge underdog. He seems like
kind of a milk toast guy. No one gives a darn.
But what happens, Oh, all this stuff with schools in

(32:46):
Virginia and objection to super woke material being introduced in
the Virginia public schools. And Terry mccauliffe is running for
governor of Virginia, former DNC chair, he's a real Clinton knight.
And McAuliffe says something along the lines of, well, no,
the kids are belonged to the school that you know,

(33:07):
it's the school's responsibilit It's not the parents' responsibility to
educate kids. It's the school's responsibility fundamentally given this impression
that the kids belong to the schools, not the parents,
and young kin wins on the basis of that, on
the basis of Terry McAuliffe just being a terrible candidate. Well,
now we've got win some seers running against Abigail Spanberger.

(33:32):
Win some sears. Is the Republican, she was the lieutenant,
she is the lieutenant governor of Virginia right now she's
running for governor. She's going up against Abigail Spanberger. Abigail
Spanberger is like a perfect Northern Virginia Liberal of CIA,
a former CIA contractor, perfect work for some crazy CIA
school or something, COVID fanatic back in her day, Northern

(33:59):
Virginia liberal, like of the Hillary Clinton cult, like you know,
professional managerial class kind of gal. Just the perfect Northern
Virginia liberal. Believes love is love, you know, every woke
policy you can believe in. Now, the guy running for
attorney general as a Democrat, whom she's obviously embraced throughout

(34:21):
the campaign. Hey, I'm running for governor. He's running attorney general.
Vote for him for attorney general. He has these crazy
text messages that he had texted to Republican members, a
Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates talking about
a guy from the Republican leadership. So he's texting a
Republican talking about another Republican and saying that he would

(34:42):
if he had two bullets and the Republican leader was
in a room, the Republican leader Adolf Hitler and Poulpott,
he would put both bullets through the Republican's head and say, yes,
I would want his children to suffer and be an orphan.
And he's saying this in textamous that he's sending to
another Republican. Well shocking that National Review gets the text messages,

(35:05):
publishes them, breaks open the whole Virginia Attorney General's election,
and it becomes a massive issue for the governor's race
because now Spanberger's being asked, well, are you disavowing your
support for this guy for attorney general. He's calling for
actual violence. He's like repeatedly affirming that people need to
feel personal suffering in order to change their views. So, yes,

he would actually want this guy dead, saying it in
text messages, and he's running for attorney general. Text message

got It's been a big issue in the election that
there was a guy exposing himself to girls in a
girl's bathroom at a public school. The Democrat governor won't

men should not be in women's restrooms. The guy's claiming
to be trans Now in Louden County, Virginia, in their
public schools, they're like trying to initiate disciplinary proceedings against
boys who expressed discomfort at biological girls being in their bathroom.

(38:01):
They're trying to discipline the boys for like not being
comfortable with this, it's amazing Northern. The Virginia elections are fascinating.
