The Reaction to the Charlie Kirk Assassination Will Change America

Episode Transcript

[SPEAKER_00]: We are back with another episode of the Kyle Land's Loan Show, a lot to talk about on today's program.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think today is going to be a pretty monumental day, yesterday, a pretty monumental and important day in US history, and our current culture.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I want to kick off talking about the assassination Charlie Kirk, and then update with some of our more usual beats of the war in Ukraine.

[SPEAKER_00]: and the Israeli onslaught in Gaza and the assassination attempt in Qatar.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, starting off here, I'm sure most of you are aware I don't want to do a big long recap of the assassination.

[SPEAKER_00]: For those of you that have seen the video, you know absolutely brutal.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you haven't, I wouldn't go watch it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Very graphic, very disturbing.

[SPEAKER_00]: Really an absolute heartbreaking moment to see, you know, a man die right in front of your eyes like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: So Charlie Kirk was at event at a college in Utah, a sniper, I think close to 200 yards away, lined up took a shot, hit him, I've seen conflict your reports, if they hit him in the chest, he was wearing a bulletproof vest, Ricochet goes through his neck, are the bullet actually hit him in the neck, either way, very, very quickly, it's obvious that Charlie Kirk is killed by this sniper.

[SPEAKER_00]: somebody in the crowd is arrested police say this is the person that did it pretty quickly after he's released and you start seeing videos online of somebody pretty clearly running around the rooftop after the shooting looking like they had a gun shortly after that the FBI arrested [SPEAKER_00]: A long force, my guess.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure if it was the FBI.

[SPEAKER_00]: I arrested a second set, but an FBI director, Cash pretell, did put out a post making it sound like this was the shooter.

[SPEAKER_00]: Although the police said they were still seeking a person of interest.

[SPEAKER_00]: That second set, was then released, so I guess knew that the first or second suspects were the shooter, and today, [SPEAKER_00]: We've kind of slow roll of information from law enforcement, uh, they they publish a picture of the rifle showing a bold action rifle.

[SPEAKER_00]: We've had reports from Steve Crowder and the Wall Street Journal that the bullets that they found were marked with.

[SPEAKER_00]: anti-fascist and I guess pro-trans information so you know it would buy by the bullets you would conclude I guess that this was some kind of left wing maybe trans activists that shot Charlie Kirk although [SPEAKER_00]: You know, always be skeptical of this information, but that that is the report.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then law enforcement did release a picture of the shooter appears to be a white guy.

[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't even begin to tell you age.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sunglass is hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: They [SPEAKER_00]: haven't caught him yet.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's surprising to a lot of people with the amount of kind of cell phones trained on the event of course law enforcement was there quickly and this person had to get from the top of the building out of the building somehow without getting caught.

[SPEAKER_00]: That seems [SPEAKER_00]: Fairly unlikely, right, that this was able to happen, but apparently that person was able to lead the building.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it was because people were distracted by the suspected shooter that they arrested at the scene that they didn't realize that they needed to be looking around at buildings further away for a shooter for somebody carrying a gun.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how that person got away.

[SPEAKER_00]: Either way, I think, you know, the important details are yet to be released, you know, what are the shooter's motives, who is the shooter, and we really won't know until the FBI catches the shooter, getting little clues leaked out like this, or that was written on the bullet, this was the kind of gun use, this was the position, leads to a lot of speculation, people guessing, oh, this must have been a professional assassin because of how far away, [SPEAKER_00]: uh...

the shot was are the type of rifle that was used in maybe but maybe not you you really don't know and so i don't think it's very helpful uh...

to speculate there in additionally whatever was written on those bullets if there was anything written on those bullets we don't have official confirmation of that it's always important to know that whoever this shooter was [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they understand, maybe their goal is more political chaos than any particular cause or something like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: So just because something was right and on a bullet, maybe that's meant to throw off the police.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that's meant to create more chaos.

[SPEAKER_00]: We really don't know and won't know unless the shooter is caught in the FBI and law enforcement do an investigation that people feel solid that the results and the conclusions are correct.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, [SPEAKER_00]: really what I want to get into is the the reaction that is going to incur in the United States because I think this is going to be a mark of a major cultural shift in this country and it's almost fitting that we're having this conversation on September 11, 2025, 24 years.

[SPEAKER_00]: after the 9-11 attack where I think there was a massive, another massive cultural shift.

[SPEAKER_00]: And when I would certainly, I think one of the lessons from 9-11 that could be applied here is it's very important not to overreact to violence.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we're in a very dangerous spot about going down that kind of road.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so I want to start off by playing this clip of Donald [SPEAKER_02]: It's a long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible.

[SPEAKER_02]: For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst [SPEAKER_02]: mass murders and criminals.

[SPEAKER_02]: This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country.

[SPEAKER_02]: From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year, [SPEAKER_02]: which killed a husband and father to the attacks on ice agents, to the vicious murder of a health care executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalice and three others.

[SPEAKER_02]: radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives.

[SPEAKER_00]: So the one thing in that video that they Trump actually does get right at first is kind of in the lead up when he's saying, you know, we have a problem in this country with rhetoric.

[SPEAKER_00]: that is certainly the case.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he's right to identify that on the left side of the political divide in this country.

[SPEAKER_00]: This rhetoric is the uranazi, your fascist, your abigate, your racist, [SPEAKER_00]: because these people have these prejudices or bigger trees, they are bad enough people that's okay to aggress against them.

[SPEAKER_00]: And there certainly is that kind of rhetoric on the left half of the American political spectrum.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, this isn't a blanket condemnation.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have plenty of friends.

[SPEAKER_00]: on the left in a lot of these people are absolutely disgusted by what they saw what what happened to Charlie Kirk right, but there are a lot of people who are not uncomfortable with it, a lot of these people are you know more in the mainstream, they're progressives, they appear on CNN and MSNBC, but they really do believe that they're [SPEAKER_00]: You know, in people like Charlie Kirk are fascists that Donald Trump is Hitler, and that gives some of their followers the moral clarity to carry out violent actions.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is something that does need to be addressed from the Democratic Party, from the left half of the American political spectrum.

[SPEAKER_00]: However, Trump himself is one of the biggest perpetrators of needlessly inflammatory and border [SPEAKER_00]: Now, this isn't to say that Donald Trump or anybody in the Democratic Party is responsible should be held to account, should somehow face political persecution for the assassination and Charlie Kirk.

[SPEAKER_00]: The shooter is responsible for that.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, maybe there's a wider conspiracy of like, you know, somebody helped him plan it, but if that doesn't exist, the only person responsible is the shooter himself.

[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, we have to realize that what kind of country do we want to live it?

[SPEAKER_00]: What do we want our political climate to be?

[SPEAKER_00]: Do we want people who are clearly non-violent by Charlie Kirk?

[SPEAKER_00]: This is a man who's notorious.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's a debate me, bro.

[SPEAKER_00]: He goes around debating people, asking them questions.

[SPEAKER_00]: And you might not like the questions that he asks.

[SPEAKER_00]: You may see him as being kind of a jerk or, you know, you could use other negative language, film the blank there.

[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, he is not saying go beat up that guy to his followers.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's not calling for violence.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he's not engaging him violence in himself.

[SPEAKER_00]: He is somebody who [SPEAKER_00]: It says his big thing is discourse.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's why he holds these events to go around.

[SPEAKER_00]: He calls out, he goes, tries to have the lips come out and take him on.

[SPEAKER_00]: His whole thing is engaging with people across the political aisle.

[SPEAKER_00]: to kill him is just absolutely disgusting.

[SPEAKER_00]: But it is important to see that Donald Trump here is somewhat guilty and actually, I think it was really courageous to have the Republican Congressman Thomas Massey actually come out and say this, this was in the Hill.

[SPEAKER_00]: Massey said about Trump's rhetoric, I mean, there's a lot of rhetoric and the president himself engages in it.

[SPEAKER_00]: He called it a hostile act to co-sponsored the Epstein resolution.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's ridiculous rhetoric It's amusing.

[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't offend me that he's over the top with rhetoric, but some people take it literally Literally he should probably tone that down himself.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know things when somebody passes.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's very emotional moment [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think you can blame anybody for what they say then that's 24 to 48 hours.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I think it'll settle down and hopefully it settles down to a calmer pace than it was before.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so, you know, Massey here is gently, but he is critiquing the president on his rhetoric.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and from the right half, again, taking the lessons of nine America, not over-reacting.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at 9-11 in what happened, [SPEAKER_00]: It's important to look at what the motivations of Osama bin Laden, Kali Sheikh Muhammad and al-Qaeda war when they carried out the 911 attacks.

[SPEAKER_00]: Their ultimate goal wasn't to not down the Twin Towers and to kill 3000 Americans on 911.

[SPEAKER_00]: Their ultimate goal was to draw the United States into an endless and impossible to win war in the Middle East in Afghanistan.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just like they did to the Soviets with the American help in the 1980s, [SPEAKER_00]: Bankrupting collapsed the American Empire.

[SPEAKER_00]: That was the goal of Osama Bin Laden.

[SPEAKER_00]: The goal wasn't just not down some skyscrapers in Washington to see.

[SPEAKER_00]: The goal wasn't just a punish the Americans for what they had done to the Arab world over the previous decades, but to make sure the American Empire could no longer do that by absolutely destroying the American Empire.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so when you're the Republicans now, you have to look at, and once we know who the shooter is, look at the shooter, look at what the motivations of the shooter are.

[SPEAKER_00]: If they think that you're a fascist, if you're a dictator, if you respond to this in a heavy hand and crackdown that is reminiscent of a fascist or a dictator, then you are giving them what they want.

[SPEAKER_00]: You are proving their point.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that's really important that you cannot escalate the cycle of violence.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know there is a real feeling on the American right in this country that, we're big and tough and we're the ones with the gun.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so if the left one's to engage in violence and this goes to Civil War, this is going to be easy, we are going to win.

[SPEAKER_00]: But that's not how civil wars work.

[SPEAKER_00]: It is, you can't really win a civil war.

[SPEAKER_00]: These are disgusting, disgusting conflicts.

[SPEAKER_00]: that ends up with massive numbers of people dead.

[SPEAKER_00]: The first of all were hundreds of thousands of Americans dead.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right, that's what we're talking about here in this country is much, much larger.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, imagine the scale of the fighting.

[SPEAKER_00]: But in a civil war, you have the worst horse come out, because not only do you have to just win the conflict.

[SPEAKER_00]: You have to force the people you don't want to comply with everything you want, because they have to live under your dictates and demands.

[SPEAKER_00]: you actively have to break them to force capitulation, and that's why whenever you look around the world and you see civil wars, that's where you see ethnic cleansing and genocides, and, you know, horrific massacres.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, look at what's going on in Mexico between the cartels, that's effectively a civil war.

[SPEAKER_00]: You have people killing people's children, killing people's wives, [SPEAKER_00]: cutting people up killing them in gruesome ways, and not just doing it, but posting it online.

[SPEAKER_00]: Look at the civil, Syrian civil war where you had the Islamic State, burning people alive, dunking them in acid, all kind of other horrors.

[SPEAKER_00]: You do not want to walk down the world where we are in a civil war in this country, where this kind of political violence continues to escalate.

[SPEAKER_00]: Even if you think you will, and maybe you will win the ultimate conflict, and you will, [SPEAKER_00]: force a United States government that is more Christian, more in line with your values, reflects your policy more what you will have to do to get there will certainly not be worth it to force the left to capitulate to the right-wing demands.

[SPEAKER_00]: And also, you know, there are people on the left with guns.

[SPEAKER_00]: This will not be as easy of a fight as people like to fantasize about.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so I think we should, you know, I think I maybe have a little bit more of you need view on this as much as I look at conflicts around the world.

[SPEAKER_00]: and just understanding clearly that you do not want to talk about civil war in engaging in policies and rhetoric that move us and closer in that direction because it will be absolutely gruesome.

[SPEAKER_00]: Another aspect of this whole scenario that I thought was interesting and want to break down and I think it is kind of insightful to the current moment in the U.S.

[SPEAKER_00]: where right now on my Twitter timeline, there's two kind of hot tates, and I think both of them are wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: One is particularly disgusting, and so the one that's particularly disgusting is more coming from some left wingers who are very good on foreign policy issues who I talked with, I think we would get along well, who are either, [SPEAKER_00]: celebrating Charlie Kirk's death or certainly gloating about it because Charlie Kirk was a Zionist.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's an absolutely disgusting take.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really want to spend a whole lot of time.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's just self-evidently a really terrible thing to say.

[SPEAKER_00]: But then at the same time, [SPEAKER_00]: I have people these tend to be more libertarian types in my timeline arguing that Israel was responsible for the assassination because Charlie Kirk wasn't enough of the Zionist.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so these are obviously two very conflicting points how could Charlie Kirk be such an art Zionist that he is deserving to nearly have his head blown off in front of an entire group of people in front of his children.

[SPEAKER_00]: or that he's not sufficiently pro-Israel that the Israeli government is going to hunt him down in front of hundreds of people and his children and kill him with a sniper in the middle of the United States of America.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, again, I don't think either of these perspectives are correct.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see any evidence that Israel carried this out.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen people post.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you know, Charlie has talked about Epstein and ties to Masad.

[SPEAKER_00]: He had talked about [SPEAKER_00]: uh...

you know maybe walking away from his the special relationship between the u.s.

[SPEAKER_00]: and israel but this was not somebody who by any means was pro-Palestinian or who i think was signaling a major shift in american politics on on the israel issue so [SPEAKER_00]: it's just it seems so silly that that you appoint to that as the reason that Charlie Kirk was killed especially because what he's known for is his tapes on domestic issues, abortion, trans, uh, pro-Christian things like that would I would far more likely imagine that would be [SPEAKER_00]: the cause as we're provoked the sniper to kill him, but I just use Israel as an example to show that the perspectives of what Americans think about each other is so drastically different that you have one group of people again.

[SPEAKER_00]: hardcore anti-interventionist people who I talk to who I think are very insightful when it comes to foreign policy on the libertarian side saying that Charlie Carp wasn't as ironist that Israel killed him and I have people on the left again good anti war folks who are now celebrating the death of Charlie Carp because he was an ironist and so we just really had no understanding [SPEAKER_00]: which I think really sets the stage for what happens next.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it's, I think, very possible for both sides at this point to demonize each other to the point where even if we don't see a major crackdown from the administration, which I do think and I'm very worried about it's coming, we're going to see more violence from citizens who are [SPEAKER_00]: 10, 14 hours a day, they're getting radicalized, they're getting heated, they're blaming everybody else for their problems and then they go out and they start killing people.

[SPEAKER_00]: And at this point, I see, you know, the Democrats are now pointing to all the people on the right.

[SPEAKER_00]: There was a recent shooter in Minnesota.

[SPEAKER_00]: I believe he killed the speaker, the Minnesota house and her husband and then tried to kill two other lawmakers.

[SPEAKER_00]: He had a list of 45 Democratic lawmakers that he [SPEAKER_00]: And Republicans are pointing to whoever killed Charlie Kirk, the trans, the recent trans school shooters that have happened in recent years as saying oh see the other side is so violent.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, we have a real systemic problem with violence in this country and it really does need to be addressed.

[SPEAKER_00]: But finger pointing and claiming that other people are responsible for the violence is certainly one of the things that is going to lead to more violence.

[SPEAKER_00]: We, we as a country cannot, cannot go down this path.

[SPEAKER_00]: It could be a very dark day as ahead for the United States.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're all ready on the precipice of an economic crisis in this country.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, many people are already suffering economically.

[SPEAKER_00]: But when people are really poor, when people are really broke, when people are really [SPEAKER_00]: is going to be easier and easier for the media for elected officials for other influencers to craft narratives that other parts of the country are the demons that they are the problems that if they were addressed that we took care of those people that your lives would be better.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that narrative is going to be more appealing for economic reasons.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think the US [SPEAKER_00]: uh...

kind of positions world hedge money slipping day by day by day by day and that's only going to further and bolding uh...

you know this idea that america needs a major change and hope people on radical ideals and along with these kinds of shootings and killings that we're having in this country increasingly i am very concerned [SPEAKER_00]: about the direction that this country is going.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that is what I had on the Charlie Carcos assassination.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, now I want to move on and talk about this situation that developed over Poland is getting a lot of media attention.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I've been covering it at the Libertarian Institute in JudgeNap.com, but this is a really important article I think from build, which is a German tabloid.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's actually the largest news outlet in Europe, interestingly enough.

[SPEAKER_00]: And what they had explained is that, [SPEAKER_00]: The NATO used several $400,000, which is about $450,000 missiles to shoot down cheap Russian drones.

[SPEAKER_00]: So the whole bad story here is on Wednesday, Russia was attacking some military industrial sites in eastern Ukraine.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Russian narrative is that you crane you some electronic jamming that cause some of the cheaper drones to go off course and continue along the path and actually enter into Polish airspace.

[SPEAKER_00]: As far as all the wreckage drones that have been recovered, none of them were explosive drones they were decoy drones.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so with all the air defenses they have now countries have increasingly relied on using [SPEAKER_00]: along with real drones and missiles.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so I think these decoys are made of like cheap plywood.

[SPEAKER_00]: They only cost a couple thousand dollars to put together compared to the tens of thousands of dollars for the actual explosive drones.

[SPEAKER_00]: So no damage was done.

[SPEAKER_00]: However, NATO scrambled jets, several countries had jets in the air, and they ended up shooting down two or three of the 25 drones, which seems like an awfully pathetic number.

[SPEAKER_00]: This was a natural attack.

[SPEAKER_00]: you would have to actually wonder how capable the Ukrainian air defenses was.

[SPEAKER_00]: They only shot down three of these 25 drones.

[SPEAKER_00]: But all the wreckage recovered, none of them are as close to drones.

[SPEAKER_00]: Only these cheap decoys.

[SPEAKER_00]: But they use $400,000 side-winder missiles to shoot these down.

[SPEAKER_00]: And in bet, a NATO official told build that [SPEAKER_00]: We can't sustain this.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can't use $100,000 missiles to shoot down $1,000 drones at that.

[SPEAKER_00]: That is in no way sustainable.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now one of the other reasons that this is important is the reaction that we're seeing in the West.

[SPEAKER_00]: The EU Foreign Policy Chief Collice is going on about how this is an intentional provocation.

[SPEAKER_00]: The UK, not the UK, the Polish Prime Minister Donald Trusk is invoking Art NATO for Article 4 of NATO.

[SPEAKER_00]: which calls for a convention of NATO members to address a threat to NATO state.

[SPEAKER_00]: Germany is expanding as aerial surveillance in Poland and deploying more Polish or German aircraft to Poland and Donald Trump posted this very crypt message where he said Russian drones in Ukrainian airspace here we go.

[SPEAKER_00]: So this sounds like a real concern.

[SPEAKER_00]: Also, we have the piranha's in the Senate prepared to feast off of this.

[SPEAKER_00]: Lindsey Graham held a press conference today.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's introducing new legislation along with some democratic or Republican senators to put Russia and Belarus on the state sponsor terrorism list.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he's also lobbying Donald Trump hard to support a bill that has an humble, I don't know if I've ever seen this before.

[SPEAKER_00]: 80 co-sponsors in the Senate.

[SPEAKER_00]: This bill, 80 co-sponsors in the Senate.

[SPEAKER_00]: It places 500 percent tariffs on Russia and China for buying or not Russia and China in India for buying Russian oil, Lindsey Graham himself called this the most draconian piece of legislation that he has ever seen.

[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely insane.

[SPEAKER_00]: What's going on here?

[SPEAKER_00]: And Graham apparently found a sympathetic ear in the White House.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not surprised that that is the case just because Trump has recently been posting on true social, that China and India, Russia and North Korea are all conspiring against the United States, that the United States feels like it's lost India.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so we could see a major escalation [SPEAKER_00]: and I think it was just probably an accident of Russian drones ending up in Ukraine in Poland because of Ukrainian electronic warfare technology and then this being exploited by leaders in NATO to escalate and try to tie Trump's hands to escalate the proxy war in Ukraine.

[SPEAKER_00]: Very dangerous times ahead.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, last up here, I have this clip of Mike Huckabee discussing [SPEAKER_03]: Do you think it was a good idea that Israel carried out a strike on this neutral territory while ceasefire negotiations run away?

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's really not the position of an ambassador posted in the country to say, oh, this was great, this was not so great.

[SPEAKER_01]: simply the matter of the Israeli government doing what they do, the U.S.

[SPEAKER_01]: government reacting to it, the government of Qatar reacting to it, and we're an observer and unless it specifically gets involved in the portfolio of the embassy here, our position is to loosen carefully to what the White House and the President says, and echo that.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, this is, you know, just unbelievable.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's asking a softball question.

[SPEAKER_00]: Was it bad that Israel assassinate or tried to assassinate the Hamas negotiating team in a country that not only is a U.S.

[SPEAKER_00]: ally, it's a major not NATO ally.

[SPEAKER_00]: It hosts the largest U.S.

[SPEAKER_00]: air base in the Middle East.

[SPEAKER_00]: and they are meeting to discuss a proposal that Trump put forward to end the war.

[SPEAKER_00]: Biggest softball question you've ever been asked to your entire life, my cuckoo be.

[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously this is bad.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know is like as somebody watched what happened to Charlie Kirk and they're like, Oh, did do you support that murder?

[SPEAKER_00]: No, I mean, I don't know what happened there.

[SPEAKER_00]: It is obviously what happened there is bad in everybody could look at it and condemn it.

[SPEAKER_00]: And should in my country just as absolutely nothing to say such a pathetic excuse for a man.

[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, is absolutely the US ambassadors position to represent the United States of America in Israel.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so when Israel is going rogue and doing things that jeopardize the U.S.

[SPEAKER_00]: position in the Middle East, again, this country hosts 10,000 U.S.

[SPEAKER_00]: soldiers, and he's attacking it.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is absolute insanity that there is no backbone at all whatsoever in the Trump administration when it comes to Israel.

[SPEAKER_00]: How pathetic you have to be as a human, as an American man.

[SPEAKER_00]: to be subservient to another country.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're un-American, it is absolutely infuriated.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're supposed to be proud to be an American.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if another country is doing something that is undermining the interests of your country, you should be pissed as hell about it, especially when that country takes $20 billion a year from the United States.

[SPEAKER_00]: If there is one country, [SPEAKER_00]: that should be subservient to the United States is Israel because they are financially dependent on us and yet they do whatever the hell they want.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's nobody in our government who's even remotely interested in standing up to it ever.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, everybody, that will do for today.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you all so much for tuning in and listening to my thoughts on these issues.

[SPEAKER_00]: As always, help us out, share the show very important when you do that.
