Talking on all political subjects and taking on all colors, this is Matt Flynn Direct,
with your host, Matt Flynn.
We're going to Matt Flynn, Rick, come to your statewide and live on Civic Media.
Our lines are open, 844-967-2789.
No subject is off limits, all points of view are welcome.
Remember, you're not woke if you don't know history.
You're not woke unless and until you know history, you're going right to the front lines of
history in the makings being made every second of every day, whether you're weak, awake,
asleep, whether you're paying attention or not.
People were paying attention.
Today's the great day, Martin Luther King Day, the day in remembrance of the great Dr. Martin
Luther King.
He was assassinated in 1968, he was 39 years old, he's a very important historical figure.
I want to remind people, because I was around when all this happened, many of you were not
some of you were.
We consider the following, I remember my father, who was a professor at UWM, who told me
back in the early 60s, even, you know, you think that somehow this is ancient history,
that somehow this is a long time ago, it's not a long time ago, it's modern history.
Back in the early 60s, 64, 65, that area.
My dad was a professor of Spanish, he was the chairman of the Spanish department, UWM,
and he would attend the modern language association every year.
The modern language association was universities, Spanish departments who get together, listen
to lectures, people would interview for professorships and teaching positions and all that.
He said, whenever I went to an MLA meeting in the 60s, the early 60s, even the middle
60s, if it was in the South, they said, don't drive, don't drive there with northern license
plates, you're going to get into trouble, fly into the airport and rent a car with that
state's license plates.
And that was how recently that occurred in the 60s.
There's also a thing called the Green Book, and you may have seen a movie called Green Book
where there was a black musician is being chauffeured in areas by this white chauffeur.
It's kind of a neat movie, except that it really massed a very, very sad historical fact
up until the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and even for years afterwards, until that was all
nailed down in litigation.
Black people frequently would not be served at gas stations, at hotels and at restaurants.
People would just say, no, we're not going to serve you, humiliate the guy, because they
were this wife, his kids say, I'm not going to serve you food, can't buy gas.
Those days it wasn't self-serve, you had to guy came out and filled it for you, wouldn't
let you in motel or hotel.
So a thing got published called the Green Book, and that was a state-by-state list of what
gas stations, hotels, and restaurants would serve black people.
You may think, well, that had been a long time ago.
It wasn't a long time ago.
The last Green Book in Wisconsin was published in 1965, and I've talked to elderly black people
who told that they'd reliant it.
There were a couple of gas stations in Milwaukee.
They would let them serve them on gas, a couple of motels or hotels in Milwaukee and restaurants,
and obviously Milwaukee was heckable, that better than Alabama and Mississippi.
But even in Wisconsin, even in Wisconsin, it was a Green Book, and they would tell folks
where they could be treated like anybody else, get a hotel room, get a meal, get fuel.
Civil rights workers were murdered in the South in the early 60s.
They were murdered for going down there and trying to register people to vote, and these
were white civil rights workers as well as black civil rights workers.
The only, the most recent personal experience I had with any of this was in 1970.
I had just gotten out of OCS in the Navy, and I was assigned to a base and a ship at a
little creek, Virginia, and so what we used to have back then is you get a small apartment
so you'd have some place to stay when you were in port, because when you were deployed
you didn't need it.
So I had an apartment in Norfolk, and it was very close to the base.
It was also very close to the Musin Park, you know, rides and that kind of thing, kind
of a musin park.
That of the Musin Park was segregated until 1967, three years before I had joined the Navy
and been assigned there.
Three years before you were a black sailor, black marine, black soldier, you couldn't have
gone there.
You could not have gone there.
And why was it as late as 1967 when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was three years before?
And that's because people didn't obey the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
They would sit back and they would tell people they wouldn't serve them.
And you know, most people don't bring a lawsuit over that, they don't have the resources.
It took a series of litigation.
It took a series of incidents, very, very unpleasant incidents.
And finally, because of the work that was started by John F. Kennedy and finished up under
Lyndon Johnson.
And frankly, it had some antecedents with Dwight Eisenhower.
He sent federal troops in the South to enroll black kids when they were excluded from universities.
This was an ongoing struggle and it's still an ongoing struggle.
It's still an ongoing struggle.
Milwaukee has a reputation of being the most segregated city in the country.
And it's not by law, it's by custom.
It's simply because you can look at geographical housing patterns.
You can look at social patterns.
You can talk all you want.
You can talk to your blue in the face, but who do you socialize with, who do you have
over for dinner, who do you go out to dinner with?
And the truth of the matter is, it's still very, very, very much segregated society.
But back is recently as the 60s, recently as the 60s.
It was segregated by law and broad social custom.
And you were a black person.
You had to be careful where you went so that you wouldn't be insulted in terms of being
accommodated.
Now, tell you something else, the, I remember 1968, 1968, Reverend Martin Luther King was
assassinated.
I think it was in April, and in June, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in California after
the California primary, John F. Kennedy was assassinated in November of 1963.
In less than five years, in four and a half years, we had three assassinations, John
F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Bobby Kennedy.
And that was a shock to the culture and the politics of this country that, from which
we have not recovered, it's engendered a deep suspicion of government and it's engendered
a deep division among people.
Think about that.
Three of the most prominent people in the country assassinated in four and a half years.
In each case, in each case, by the right wing, one of the cases of Bobby Kennedy, by Surhan
Surhan who objected to Bobby Kennedy's support of Israel and support of sending planes for
Israel to defend itself.
This is a terrible time.
My favorite song is Abraham, Martin, and John.
I don't know if you have heard it, but if you haven't heard it, you should, you should
play it.
Has anybody here seen my old friend, Abraham, and Martin, and Martin, and then John, and
then, soon it'll be Bobby, it's a magnificent song, my favorite song, my favorite song.
Well, onto other political subjects now, it's not as if politics stopped in 1968.
Iowa caucuses tonight, starting at 7 p.m. Central time, which is our time.
There's a lot of baloney being thrown about it.
Let's talk about the weather.
I don't want to be dead horse.
Everybody's talking about the weather.
As we cold down there, let's call them walkie-toe, but it's colder down there because there's
no lake Michigan near it, no lake Michigan near it.
It's cold.
There's some places in Northern Wisconsin, you know, wind chillin, double digits, 20, 30
below.
I don't think it's going to have much of an effect.
It may reduce, it may reduce participation, but I think it may do it equally.
I don't see that as being a big factor in terms of the relative performance of everyone.
People show Trump ahead, they show Nikki Haley in second place by four points, it's within
margin of error.
She and Desandes, I think she's at 20, he's at 16, that's meaningless in a caucus trying
to find out who's going to go out there and show up.
But Trump's ahead by double digits and everybody is going to look at this in kind of a political
science way and go, who exceeded expectations, who fell under expectations, everybody's trying
to minimize their chances, and this goes on every four years, and let me tell you something
else, say something else.
In the process, I went to the Iowa caucuses in 2008, I was a, I was part of the campaign
for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama had been surging ahead and they went to Iowa.
I was with Hillary because Bill and Hillary had been friends of mine since 1992.
I first met Bill in 1981 when he was governor of Arkansas and they were good friends.
I like Barack Obama too and I support him 100% in the general election.
But the Iowa caucuses are a mess, they're a cluster, they really are.
They had a rule back then, they violate all rules.
Everything that I've heard is that Trump's inner party controls those caucuses, so look
for it to be kind of a lot of shenanigans.
One of the things they had back in 2016, the Democratic caucuses, was that you could
be from out of state, you couldn't vote, but you could help organize, the minute we
went there, we got thrown out and had to stand along the sidelines and do our work from
there.
Okay, coming up, coming up, we're going to talk a little bit more about the Iowa caucuses
and then we are going to talk about the debt deal or non-deal to avoid a default of this
country coming up.
Welcome back to Matt from Direct, our lines are open, eight, four, four, nine, six, seven,
two, seven, eight, nine.
I want to talk a little more about the Iowa caucuses, there's a lot of talk about demographics
like who's for Trump, who's for DeSantis, who's for Nikki Haley, I don't place much
store on that, a lot of folks will say, well, Nikki Haley is basically re-enacting Marco
Rubio's last time he ran 2016, he did a terrible job, but he came in close in the Iowa caucuses
and the idea is that somehow Nikki Haley is going to do better around Des Moines in the
college towns, Iowa City and that kind of thing and that somehow Trump's going to do better
out in the rural areas and somehow DeSantis blew it because he was seen as an alternative
to Trump and he's done a pathetic job.
The truth of the matter is none of the three are presidential material, Trump because
he's a criminal and because he's betrayed us to Russia among other things into Saudi
Arabia and the other two, not only aren't they presidential, but if you took a look
at the debate between them, it was like a high school insult fest, just calling each other
names, they're not presidential, I don't want any one of these people on the front lines
making decisions about our future and our defense or anything close to it.
But let me tell you a little bit more about how this works.
The Democrats have rejected caucuses and rightly so.
Many of us after the experience in 008 and in 16 said that not only they're not representative
but they're all manipulated by insiders.
You show up, in this case in the Republican caucus because they're still going to stick
with the caucuses and a gym somewhere in a school, I was an independence Iowa at a middle
school.
So you go there and you stand around and they say, okay, everybody for, say, Trump in
this corner and everybody for the Sanders in this corner, everyone for Nikki Haley in
that corner.
Believe it or not that, you know, Edward Siserhands, Swami, not Swami Ramaswami, it's still
nosing and sniffing around before he gets thrown out in the cold.
So he's going to sniff around how a few people.
And in the Democratic side, if you didn't meet a certain percentage, this was back in
008, they're not doing it anymore.
Then you were free and you should align with someone else and you couldn't do certain things.
And well, the minute we got there to try to help direct the caucuses, which we were
permitted to do in the rules, they said, get out of here, we know anybody from Wisconsin
or anybody else.
I said, that's fine.
Except your rules say you can.
As long as we don't vote, they get out of here and then they all shined around.
You know, it's not the only way to nominate people in my view is with primaries.
Primaries that go down there is the secret vote.
The problem with caucuses is you have to declare in public.
You stand there physically.
If your employer finds out you're in a small town and a small manufacturing plant and
you were for say Bernie Sanders, they really didn't like that.
It could cost you your job.
It could hurt you some.
So a lot of people wouldn't go down there for that reason.
In this case, if somebody doesn't like Trump or doesn't like the Santas or doesn't like
Aniki Haley or you go for Vivax from a Swami and they go, are you out of your mind?
Your employer, your friends, your social groups, all find out.
They know about it.
And the danger in that is people are deterred with Trump.
You know, Trump has supporters have sent death threats to people who don't support him.
In the Senate, Mitt Romney, and this was also true, Nancy Pelosi had been told this.
There were Republican House members who wanted to vote to impeach Trump, especially on January
6th.
And they said they were afraid.
They were getting threats.
And one of them said, why should I expose my wife and my kids to risk?
So he voted against the impeachment.
And Mitt Romney was the only senator to vote to convict on the first impeachment regarding
Ukraine.
There were about eight of them that voted to convict on the second.
Said he had senators who said, yeah, I want to vote to convict this guy.
He's a criminal.
But I am not going to jeopardize the lives of my wife and my kids.
You've got to understand this.
Those of you who are out there thinking, oh, well, maybe Trump is okay.
And no, that is not okay.
And when you are in a caucus and you're not for Trump in one of these areas, can you imagine
in an area that's strongly for Trump?
Otherwise, it gets around.
You're for Nikki Haley.
Your characterizing her is a cross between Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.
They are characterizing her as other.
You can't, if you are in a red Trump area, you are risking things by standing up in a corner
in a gymnasium in a small town.
You're risking things.
You get cold shoulders and you'll get threats.
And if Trump underperforms, you may get worse than that.
That's why I do not like, I don't like caucuses.
They're not anonymous.
You can't vote without doing it in public.
And the best is the primary.
The best in my view is the open primary.
We have in Wisconsin, very few states have it anymore.
You don't register as a Democrat or Republican in Wisconsin.
You go down there and you walk into the machine and you don't even sell the clerk when they
hand you a ballot to feed into the electronic reader.
What kind of ballot you want?
You get everything on the ballot.
The only restriction is that if you vote in the Democratic primary, you can't vote like
for president in the Democratic primary and for something else in the Republican primary.
I'm talking about the primary now, not the general election, general election.
You could vote Democrat for president in November and Republican for Congress if you want it.
But in a primary, and the April primary, which is our presidential primary, is usually
other nonpartisan stuff, judges and mayors and so on.
But in August, when you have a partisan primary, you may have one for a senator and you may
have one for Congress.
You can't vote in the Democratic and Republican primaries, even for different offices.
But that's fine.
It's an open primary.
And nobody knows how you voted and this thing in Iowa is going to be very, very unreliable.
Trump will probably win.
People are afraid not to vote for him in a lot of areas of the state for their physical
safety and, frankly, because it may cost them their jobs or at least a promotion or at
least a lot of hard stuff at work, which they don't want.
And nobody wants something like that.
So there you have it.
If they're coming up and encourage you to watch, simply to see how it's turning out, predict
obviously that Trump wins, who comes in second, I don't know, I don't think it much matters
because he has control of the nominating apparatus in so many states, so many states,
so many states that as a practical matters of foreground conclusion, New Hampshire primaries
a week from tomorrow and Super Tuesday is March 5th, about six weeks away, March 5th.
And then you're going to know who the nominee is.
So not a lot of mystery to this, but there's a lot of criminality with Trump.
I'm not just talking about the indictments.
I'm talking about as betrayal of this country, there's destruction of democracy.
Coming up a lot of news, a lot of weather, and we are going to talk about this sad deal
that Mike Johnson has forged with the right wing nuts in his caucus to keep us afloat.
And I'll tell you for how long and it's not very long coming up very shortly.
It's open 844-967-2789, right to the lines, Bob, a Madison, my friend, thanks for
calling.
Bob, what's in your mind today?
Well, in honor of Martin Luther King Day, I thought of three instances where I got shocked
on the campaign trail, and in 1988 I was twice confronted with voters who I was campaigning
for Jesse Jackson, and they said, I would vote for that, and word, you know, the sixth
letter word.
And that happened twice to me.
It happened to all the white people on our campaign trail.
All the black people said, oh, that's daily activity to us, but we were all shocked to be
walking in the shoes of a black man and realizing that racism is real.
Then the other shock was when I was working on the recall in 2011 and went to a door in
Stoughton, Wisconsin, and knocked on the door and asked for the woman there, you know, to
come out and vote because she'd signed the recall petition, and the man who'd answered
the door immediately wanted to kick her out of the house.
So those are my shockers for the day.
Well, Bob, thanks for calling.
Yeah, well, that's disgusting, and I'll say it was Jesse Jackson, I've met Jesse Jackson,
met him several times in Milwaukee when he was campaigning, and he's a, he's a good
guy.
He's an interesting guy.
He also, I think, you know, he was controversial, but basically, he was one of Dr. King's principal
lieutenants.
I think he was with him on the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel when Dr. King was shot.
And Jesse Jackson, I think, history will treat him quite kindly as a, as a really a civil
rights icon.
So I'm glad that you got to work for him or with him.
With regards to the other thing, I mean, you know, I couldn't tell from your story whether
or not the woman was the guy's wife or a co-owner of the house or significant other, what
she was.
But, you know, there are people, I like politics, I follow politics, obviously.
But I don't let it destroy me.
And there are people I know who are for Trump and all that, and I don't engage with them,
but there are some people out there.
And that's why you get this wellspring of hatred and wellspring of violence.
And Trump is very expert in, in, in fanning it, in appealing to it.
And a lot of what is going on is perceived support in the house and in the Senate.
Some of it is legitimate, but some of it, when I say legitimate, I don't think any of
it's legitimate, but some of it is, honestly, they actually support the guy.
But I think there are a lot of people who are afraid and we're going to see more of that
if he ever got in as president.
He is using fear and he's using threats and death threats and threats to family.
And it's the judges and cases that he's appearing in front of, prosecutors,
law clerks, witnesses, and he is creating an envelope of fear.
We can't have this back in office.
This guy has got to be stopped.
He's absolutely got to be stopped.
I want to talk about this deal that was achieved and they call it a deal.
I mean, I think it's kind of a sad thing, but over the weekend, over this weekend,
the Dr. Martin Luther King weekend, there was a deal hammered out that Mike Johnson has
apparently gotten his most right wing nuts to a not say the chair is vacant and be just
kick the can down the road, kick the can down the road.
What they're saying is, for instance, remember, I told you that January 19 this Friday was
a deadline for four agencies, about 20% of the government, February 2nd was the deadline
for the rest of the government.
They've just changed that to March 1 and March 8th.
So by March 1, so that gives them about six weeks, 20% of the government will be shut down
and by March 8th, the rest of it will be shut down if they don't come up with a budget
for now, the fiscal year that's coming here until September 30, 19 or 2024.
Now consider what that means.
First of all, we're going to pay even more interest on our national debt because of this
chicane rate.
No sane company, much less a country, refuses to pay its debts, refuses to pay the employees
that keep it going, refuses to pay their soldiers, their sailors, Marines and Airmen, no other
country.
This is being done by a handful of Republican zealots who hate the United States and are
trying to cause disruption because they think that will return them to power.
They are threatening not to pay our military.
They've already not promoted our military for ten months in the middle of wars.
Well now, there's a bombing we're going to talk about in a bit against Yemen on Friday
again, and then this morning Yemen actually hit with a missile, a US-owned commercial
ship, a carrier, and they also targeted a destroyer.
One of our destroyers in the Red Sea, and then what happened was one of our planes shot
the missile down, but you can't be playing one of these in twos these rest of your life
and you have to have 100 percent success.
One missile goes through and kills our sailors.
I think Biden's done a very, very good job of containing this up until now.
But there are a couple of things they're going to have to be done.
One of them is what John Kennedy did with the Cuban Missile Crisis.
He told the Russians, if you launch a missile, a nuclear missile anywhere in the Western
Hemisphere, South America, North America, we will consider it's against North America
and respond directly to you.
And then Khrushchev knew that Moscow and St. Petersburg would be Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Back down.
Now in this particular one, Iran is behind this.
They are behind the Houdis, they're behind Hamas, they're behind Hisbola.
And so far they haven't been bombed, they haven't been bombed.
But the fact is that their proxies and Houdis are their proxies, they're now attacking us
more directly.
But I think that Biden has to give the message and he can do it diplomatically, he can do
it in other ways, but he can give the message.
If these attacks come against American forces, you will be pay the price directly.
And there are a lot of targets in Tehran, their nuclear facility, their electrical grid,
their Navy, their airport, their, you can't call it a parliament, but their government.
And we can inflict punishing, punishing attacks on them.
Now we haven't done it so far because they're allies of China, they're allies of Russia.
And you don't want to just gratuitously do something like that, but it is coming to
that.
But the one thing I want to get in before we go to the lines, I see when the lines do
not hang up, is this.
We have three adversaries in the world directly right now, Russia, Iran, and the Republican
party in the United States.
At a sheer vanity, these Republicans are using rules.
There are small minority of people doing this.
They're using the unanimous consent and filibuster rules in the Senate.
And they're using vacate, the chair rule in the House and the requirement in the House
that you pass a rule vote before you can go to the legislation you're voting on.
And they are denying 8, 10, 15 votes in the House and maybe 2 or 3 in the Senate to control
the government, to betray us, to commit treason, to prevail, Rand Paul, Cruz in the Senate.
And Johnson is in bed with him.
And the House, the usual suspects, Matt Gates, Marjorie Taylor, Green, Bob Goods, Scott Perry,
go serve the rest of them.
Those rules recently changed.
But at a vanity, the buttercups on the Democratic side are not changing those rules.
They can do it by majority vote.
And if they got behind it, there would be enough Republicans to go along with them.
But instead, what's happening is that if they vote to vacate the chair, all the Democrats
vote for how Kim Jeffries is never going to be speaker with a Republican majority.
And then demand that he be.
The chair would then lose 8, 10, 12 Republicans and be vacant again.
This has got to stop.
There has got to be an agreement between their 190 to 200 Democrats and about 150 Republicans
who are for the United States, who are for paying our military, who are for winning these
wars.
And it's got to happen, damn quick.
Take a Mattis to my friend.
Thanks for calling us from Monday, Dick.
The Trump hard card supporters, I've noticed they have one thing in common, a couple of them
that I knew that pretty much totally disassociated with, is you can't get through to them with
anything.
Is that they have got a grievance about somebody getting something that they don't deserve,
like immigrants and the student loan type thing.
And I go, you know, the student loan thing would be, is a great thing, it's putting money
back in the economy.
Oh, what are you talking about?
I put myself through school.
I said, you're comparing apples to oranges when you went to school.
These guys are my age, like in their late 60s.
You can't compare that.
But then the other thing, if you put a hypothetical, I bet if you took ten of them that are real
hardcore and you had a hot Micah and Trump and he didn't know it, and they had to listen
to them for a half a day, they wouldn't be fans of them anymore, because the guy has nothing
in common with you.
And I've tried to tell these guys that and they don't buy it.
And I said, he has nothing whatsoever in common with you.
He's using you.
Right, well, some people are afraid of him because they think that their kids and their
wife will be in danger.
This is not dissimilar to what happened in Germany in the 1930s.
He's doing it with a more American face.
That's all.
Fred of Cottage Grove, thanks for calling us your Myodate Fred.
Good afternoon, Matt.
How long can the Republicans keep kicking the budget down the road all the way to the next
election?
Well, you know, Fred, I think what's going to happen is May 1st, they may will kick
its April 1st.
Fred, you know what that does to our interest rates?
Why do you think our credit rating has been lowered several times?
Right now we're paying a couple of percent more in interest because the credit agencies
are saying, well, there's this risk that you won't get paid on the bonds you bought
the treasuries.
Well, you know, there's no risk really, but the thing is when you have the issuer of
the bonds, which is the United States, and it's controlled by the Congress, when you
have them say that we may not pay, and then doing stuff at 1159 before the midnight,
when there would be a default, you know, our national debt now is about $34 trillion.
You know how much in interest to a 3% extra unnecessary billions of dollars, billions, well,
they get real sanctimonious, they've got to vote for a budget.
And quite frankly, it's these rules, it's unanimous consent, filibuster, the rule, vote,
and also the business of vacate the chair, there's, there's impeding it.
And there are 350 congressmen and there are about 80 senators who don't like it and they
won't do a damn thing.
They're lazy, very lazy, they're full of vanity, they accomplish nothing, they sit there
and they're hurting the United States, and they're hurting the Republican party, those
who are Republicans, because they won't even give nine votes to bus to filibuster.
They wouldn't give nine votes to promote generals and admirals, even kernels, even captains.
You know, these people will deliberately stab our military and our FBI and our credit rating
for their petty little vanity and to get into power because they think it hurts Biden.
All right, coming up, coming up, the bombing of Yemen, something that happened in London,
something that happened in Israel today.
And we have got to have a unified response to this coming up.
Maybe I can drive my car and maybe I'll love you.
Beep, beep, beep, yeah.
Beep, beep, beep, yeah.
Beep, beep, beep, yeah.
We'll look at the Math and Direct, our lines are open, 844, 967, 2789.
On Friday, the United States bombed Yemen again.
Now, take a look at the map of the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden.
Take a look at the map feeding up into the Suez Canal from the Red Sea.
Yemen is positioned there.
Yemen is a country that has been in civil war for 10 years.
Saudi Arabia is backing the government as bombs, the hoodies.
It's really a religious conflict within Islam.
Saudi Arabia and the majority are Sunni Muslims, Iran backing the hoodies are Shiaid Muslims.
I believe it or not, Saudi Arabia hates Iran more than it hates Israel.
What's going on, this went back 1,300 years in the end of the 7th century when the prophet
passed away, this dispute as to who should succeed him, should it be a blood relative
or should it be one of his most trusted lieutenants, and that's the dispute that has divided
Islam ever since.
Now, Yemen just sits there and they think they can keep launching missiles at ships, including
military ships, including oil ships, container carrier ships, effectively shutting down the
Suez Canal.
They're getting their arms from Iran.
They're getting their missiles from Iran.
Iran is also producing missiles for the rescues who are using them against the Ukrainians
and killing the Ukrainian troops.
The question is, at what point do we intervene against Iran directly?
We don't do it lightly, we don't do it lightly, but consider a couple of other things.
In London, this weekend, there was a pro-Hamas rally, had a lot of people, anti-Israel.
And one of their principal speakers said, quote, our day will come, but we must normalize
massacres as they status quo.
Our day will come, but we must normalize massacres as our status quo.
Referring to the October 7, attacks on civilians in which they butchered people.
12 and 13-year-old girls not only raped them, but generally mutilated.
Israel found pieces of human flesh scattered around the area.
They had to use DNA to find out who it came from.
The guy who said this is guy named Muhammad El-Kurd.
He also said that Zionism is genocide.
It's murder.
We must root it out of the world.
And this guy is simply marching in London, England, and we've had similar people like
that in this country.
Today, breaking news that came on the air, terror attacks is north of Tel Aviv, and two
people who have been arrested used automobiles to ram people at a bus stop and stab them.
Kill the woman, injure a lot of other people.
Now, the responsible government, the government of Egypt, the government of Jordan, the government
of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, we can have differences with them, but they can act
reasonably.
Saudi Arabia is not reasonable.
Chainsaw Charlie killed Khashoggi, some of his military people killed our sailors in
Florida in December of 2018 when they're being trained.
He is not reliable, but he is more afraid of Iran and more afraid of Jihad against him
than he is of Israel or the West.
So it's time that this coalition got put together and did something about Yemen, did something
about Iran, and did something about terror attacks against Israel, because terror attacks against
Israel are going to be multiplied by terror attacks against the Saudi government, against
the Jordanians, and against the United Arab Emirates, it's a matter of time.
So what do we do?
In this country, our immigration system is such that we are admitting people because
that we think that it's good for diversity, which it's not.
Some march with swastikas, say, death to Israel, from the river to the sea, Palestine will
be free, meaning the elimination of Israel and so on.
We don't have to agree with everything that Netanyahu does, and there will be a reckoning
for yet Netanyahu after his war is over, within Israel.
But the truth of the matter is that what's going on over there, you cannot shut down the
Suez Canal to start with, you cannot shut down the Red Sea, you can't do it.
What that produces is about four to five thousand longer journey for ships coming from
the information to go around Africa rather than to come through and up the Red Sea in
the Suez Canal, it increases cost by 20 percent, it's inflationary by about that amount.
And what are we going to do?
You can bomb the hoodies till you're blue in the face, they've been bombed by Saudi Arabia
for ten years.
They have nothing, they accomplish nothing, they're a defective culture, and their entire
existence is to sit there and do nihilistic things, but the people giving them their
weapons and giving the Ruskies drones against the Ukrainians are an Iran.
Iran is a tumour, it's a glioblast stoma and human civilization.
Not the people, I had a friend, personal Spyro, a medical doctor and psychiatrist who told
me that, and he's a Jewish guy and he told me that he worked and I ran up to the Shafel,
the Iranian people, wonderful people, very, very smart, very, very accomplished, but they
have fallen under the sway of these fundamentalists ever since 1979, and that is what they're
inflicting on the world.
China and Russia are going along with it, because China and Russia are anti-West, so I want
the message to go out that it's about time we stuck up for Western civilization, Western
values, Western culture, due process, equal protection, separation of church and state,
freedom, democracy, everybody takes that for granted, don't take it for granted, they
don't have it in Iran, they don't have it in China, they don't have it in Russia, they
don't have it anywhere in the Middle East except Israel.
Israel is an outpost of Western civilization in the Middle East, and the time has to come,
and Biden is the most experienced president we've ever had in foreign policy, been at
it longer, and he has a terrific team, Lloyd Austin, the chiefs of staff and everybody
else, and they know what to do.
But I just want it known that from my perspective, and I think a lot of people's perspective, it's
about time that we may have to intervene against Iran directly.
Coming up, a lot of news, a lot of weather, a lot of news and weather, and an incredible
thing, an incredible thing.
The redistricting is coming down to press tax, we're going to give an analysis of all the
maps that are pending.
