Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael dil Choonho.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
President Trump signed a number of executive orders to ban
any diversity related programs in the military. We've also had
eight thousand plus troops that were discharged for refusing the
vaccine reinstated with back pay. A quick Columbian fold. Suddenly,
after a threat of a twenty five percent tariff, they're
setting their own planes with their own gas to pick
(00:25):
up their own thugs. Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano I think
is one of the finest military and foreign policy minds.
I can't, but this is our first visit of the
new year.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It is and and and.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Defitting our relationship. I've in Berlin.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You know, how'd I do?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
That's so.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
The funny thing is, you know, I'm Berliner, which is
what Kennedy said, right right, translated correctly. I remember my
little son. We live in Jermy and go there. Kennedy
stops to his But there's a streets named after Kingdom Berlin.
He said, I said, he said he was a donut.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
No, he said, everybody that believes in freedom is a Berliner.
All right, So let's start with donut. You're a jelly donut. Uh,
let's start with the commander. Actually, wait, what's that right?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
That that's actually what the literal translation of Berliner is.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I am a jelly donut.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It didn't mean I'm a Berliner, a Berliner like he thought.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
No, you know, a Berliner is a donut. That's what
they call them, blinners donuts.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Jack cataphobia, one of our most historic moments.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
He didn't say I am from Berlin or I am
a Berlin person. He said, I am a jelly donut.
That's I'm not making that up. That's my little fire
year old knew that. He knew he had better German
than John Kenny.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
What do you saying?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Well, of course your kids smarter than me, and nothing
surprising about that. All right, let's let's start with what
a different You know, there's a big headline the border
agents recording shockingly low numbers. Just suddenly, instead of four
thousand crossing every day, only five hundred and eighty two
are trying to cross. That's just setting them mental. There's
a new sheriff, there's a new president, this is a
(02:24):
new wage we had the Colombian folks. We also have
a new commander in chief and with that comes credibility
and the reinstatement of eight thousand plus troops. What a
remarkable first week of this presidency. How is the world reacting?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Well, First of all, the one thing that all Americans
have to remember is how seckless.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
The Biden administration was.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So the President Biden repeatedly said, oh, I can't deal
with Congress has to give you more power.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
More money. I've done everything I can. That was an
utter lie.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Literally in days, President Trump is creating a safer border.
So which you never forget is that Joe Biden lied
to you. You lied to your face, and.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
He knowingly life. The rest of the world is kind
of in shock.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
They're either in oh my god, am I going.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
To be next? Or there is like I want to
be Donald Trump's best friend.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So that's kind of the two responses you get, particularly.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Here in Europe.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
All right, So let's start with fact number one. So
appeasement has always emboldened aggressors. So if you show weakness,
people who are of the ilk to misbehave misbehave more.
So there is actually proven peace through strength in this
(03:45):
particular case with Donald Trump. I mean, what we see
along the border may translate to other issues. In other words,
when you because I've said all along, he's not going
to do these tariffs to everyone. He wants to address
China right building cheap electric vehicles right across our border
in Mexico and sending them over just like they send
(04:07):
over illegals over the Porestport. How does the message to
Colombia translate to China, let alone Russia and Ukraine, let
alone the Middle East?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, well, I think you know it has to be
interpreted correctly. You know, there are lots of there are lots.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Of things you can do with tariffs. You can use
them for national security purposes, like what we're gonna do
with the Chinese, which is to punish, or you can
do it like you did with Columbia, which is this
is not about generating revenue, dealing with markets. This is
(04:45):
sending the Colombian the very clear message that you are
compromising our national.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Security and you have to start. And you don't have
to send in the eighty second airborne. You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You just have to show them you're serious. I'll tell
you a story which is hilarious. I got lectured last night.
I don't want to tell you by whom and they're saying,
how could you treat your Columbian ally that way? That
when you have illegal refugees, you have to negotiate a
treaty like we did, and they take sometimes it takes years,
and I go, you guys, just don't get it to you.
(05:16):
It's not that prison Trumps can operate. He's not going
to wait a year and get pulled around by for
a country that's not doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
It's going to make a statement. And honestly, I think
that the Columbia's respected.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
That they changed their tune in five minutes because they
realized they were wrong and it wasn't worth it to
antagonize the United States.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Joining us from Berlin where it is afternoon this morning
is Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano. You know, I've often said
that America's kind of figured out what doesn't work. I
don't know they've connected the dots of what the right
thing to do is. Take the border for example. It's interesting,
you know, like in Colorado we had that immediate arrest
(05:58):
of all these rock lords and gang members and violent
criminals proven, and one week after Donald Trump takes office,
we're in Colorado. We're rounding them up. That would suggest
that the previous administration knew right where they were, all
the families they had commit and did nothing. This is
going to have a different effect on America. As he
(06:20):
does what's right, They're going to see what's wrong even
more clearly, aren't they.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Well, I mean, I think this is this is what
we all expected.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
We saw what Donald some did.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
For forty years, We saw what Joe Biden did for
four years, and.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
The American voters just didn't have a choice.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
They actually had two records to look at it. It's like,
you know, two football teams. One's got an zero to
ten in a.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
You know game, and the other ones twelve and oh,
I mean which team he's going to make the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I mean, it thinks pretty clear.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So we had this CIA joined the FBI in believing
that the origins of COVID was a wuhan leak. Right,
we have Trump reinstating eight thousand troops. We have fout
he taking a pardon. You know, uh, the stories related,
I mean this is one of the greatest.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Well, what's really.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Key about this is if folks, this is uh, you know,
John Radcliffe actually cheered for US at the Hurdish Foundation
a commission that looked at the origins of COVID, and
the independent commission concluded that it was probably loudly.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
And so John Rackaf goes in to take over the CIA.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
He didn't the CIA to change their findings. He goes
in and he bomb But the CIA under Joe.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Oops, I think we got in Berlin. There we go,
you cut out, you're back.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Oh sorry that that.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
The CIA concluded under Joe Biden that this.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Was probably leaked from a Chinese lab. So Biden knew
this and he lied to the American He was held
information of American people.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
And this was governance by by by you know, governance
by denying American knowledge of what their government's actually doing
in the results they're having.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So what about what about the I was gonna say,
what about the Paul Harvey rest of the story, which
is uh Fauci's involvement and gain of function research the
Milken Institute with scientists who talked about, we take us
a decade, it would take us billions of dollars to
get this new technology approved to get away from egg vaccines.
(08:38):
And then the other guy chimes up, but what if
we had an Asian virus and it became an emergency,
you know, And then what about everything that China did
immediately to protect China but jeopardize the rest of the world.
And was the leak even accidental or on purpose? I mean,
Donald Trump is ruling the world, China is somefering terribly
(09:01):
and after this league, well, Donald Trump's gone. Two years later,
the economy is shut down through bad advice. I mean,
are we going to get to the bottom of all
of this truth? Because this is one of the great
hoaxes ever carried out on the American people? And I
might add one point two million people died, and I
would think, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, you
want to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well. And in the end, all Joe Biden wanted to
do was hide the reality of all that.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Because he was afraid if he said the truth that
he would have to.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Hold people accountable, and he would have to hold China accountable.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
So rather than people hold people accountable for the.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Evils that they did, he just charge to ignore it.
It would be like if we had won World War two?
Who we are in the eightieth anniversary of boutchwit if
we would have gone to and cleaned up the camp
because he couldn't let anybody know what the Holocaust happened.
Just that level of.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Deception and evil.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
And this is Look, the one thing you can have
in a democracy is lack of transparency and lack of accountability.
And and what did Joe Biden want to do? We
wanted to control all content so there was no lack
of transparency. An he wanted every outcome to ensure that
no matter what happened, good or bad, Key and anyone
(10:22):
connected it was what I held accountable for it. It
was the absolute opposite of democracy. And when when they
said this is a word for democracy, they they were
really really.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Right, except he was the enemy.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The loss of trust is our is the greatest damage
that was and there's no is there any way to
get that trust back without coming clean and doing through the.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Truth, transparency and accountability. It's just like nobody should touch
trust Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Nobody should trust you.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Hey, I think this, You shouldn't believe him. You shouldn't
believe Donald Trump. But he says I'm going to secure
the border. You should have you should have.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Accountability, and you have trans fancy. The only reason why.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
People believe Donald Trump is because they look at the
numbers and they see in supporting people, in securing them work.
That's how government's supposed to work.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Well, we know it was eight thousand plus troops, and
I'm so glad they were reinstated, and I'm so glad
with back pay. But what about the millions of Americans
who were forced to take a vax or lost their job?
What are the ramifications down the line for them? As
the truth is revealed, time will.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Tell you when they say when they say elections have consequences,
I mean, you know those numbers. You have to add
into that the war in Ukraine, the people that died
in Israel, the tragedy all over the world that.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Resulted from the people that die every day because they.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Don't have electricity because Joe Biden thinks they I need
to have great energy which they can't get. So the
misery that he called is in the tens of millions.
But the people that suffered because.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Of human trafficking as a result of the border his
times earned the ten to millions.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I know what easy to fix us into a schedule
that is separated by a notion in six hours, But
thanks so much for finding time with us. You can
read James Carafano's great work and his colleagues great work
at heritage dot org. Safetire poem from Germany James.
