6
00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:28.649
Welcome back to Let the Record Show with Chairman Jesse Garcia.
7
00:00:29.379 --> 00:00:31.379
of the Republican Party. Jesse is the Vice Chair of
8
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:33.659
the New York State Republican Party, as well as being
9
00:00:33.689 --> 00:00:36.210
the County Chair of the Suffolk County Party out on
10
00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:39.490
Long Island, New York. With us is our good friend, co-host,
11
00:00:39.909 --> 00:00:44.890
noted attorney, commentator, essayist, Eric Levine. I'm Judge Richard Weinberg.
12
00:00:45.509 --> 00:00:48.259
So gentlemen, what I want to talk about, you know,
13
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.399
we keep talking every week about the Iran war update
14
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:55.299
and what's going on. And we keep saying that's a
15
00:00:55.340 --> 00:00:59.200
threat to Western civilization. I take the position that that
16
00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:01.640
there is no possible deal that protects America in the West.
17
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.340
But most importantly, because everybody's trying to write their own
18
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:10.670
narrative and rewrite history, let's be really clear what the
19
00:01:10.709 --> 00:01:14.950
problem is. The problem lies at the feet of Barack
20
00:01:14.989 --> 00:01:20.930
Obama and Joe Biden. And Barack Obama has just doubled down,
21
00:01:20.950 --> 00:01:24.090
as Eric will discuss in a few minutes, on his
22
00:01:24.170 --> 00:01:30.939
Islamist fundamentalist support, his naivete, about a two-state solution, about
23
00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:35.400
a balance of power between Iran and Israel. Everything that
24
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.700
this individual did, the hope and change artist, who was
25
00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:41.569
probably one of the great con artists of our time,
26
00:01:41.590 --> 00:01:44.250
getting himself elected to the presidency of the United States,
27
00:01:45.209 --> 00:01:49.510
has been wrong. Absolutely dead wrong. He's the one who
28
00:01:49.549 --> 00:01:53.290
fostered upon the people of the United States and Western
29
00:01:53.329 --> 00:01:58.250
civilization the so-called nuclear deal with Iran, which guaranteed nothing
30
00:01:59.090 --> 00:02:01.310
but getting a nuclear deal in a certain point in time,
31
00:02:01.730 --> 00:02:04.689
gave them tons of money, which he flew in the
32
00:02:04.730 --> 00:02:08.530
middle of the night, not in dollars, but in other currencies,
33
00:02:08.889 --> 00:02:11.689
because it's a violation of federal law to have made
34
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.680
the transfer in dollars. So he came in the middle
35
00:02:14.699 --> 00:02:17.500
of the night with other bags of money for the Iranians,
36
00:02:17.539 --> 00:02:19.919
some $ 50 billion worth of money, I think it was.
37
00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:22.979
And what did they do with it? They armed terrorists.
38
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.800
They armed the Houthis, the Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and
39
00:02:28.819 --> 00:02:34.599
the other crazy fringe radical extremist group, all subscribing to
40
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.620
the tenets of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is dedicated to
41
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.819
one thing and one thing only, the destruction of Western civilization,
42
00:02:42.460 --> 00:02:50.000
supplanting by hegemonic ambitions freedom, opportunity, whether it's freedom of
43
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.729
speech or freedom of thought, whether it's freedom of religion.
44
00:02:54.990 --> 00:02:59.729
There are no choices in a Sharia-dominated culture. The choice
45
00:02:59.810 --> 00:03:04.310
is submit or face extinction. Or if you're lucky, merely
46
00:03:04.650 --> 00:03:08.110
second-class citizenship. This is a very big deal. And this
47
00:03:08.270 --> 00:03:13.360
all came as a result of Obama's naivete. Or if
48
00:03:13.379 --> 00:03:15.080
you want to give him credit for not being naive,
49
00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:17.840
then you have to say he really was aiding and
50
00:03:17.860 --> 00:03:21.680
abetting this Islamist revolution that's going on. Then you have
51
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:28.639
the person of Joe Biden... who campaigned in the basement,
52
00:03:28.939 --> 00:03:32.979
was hidden from everybody. His mental capacity clearly diminished, not
53
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.599
that he hadn't very much even in his great salad
54
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.900
days of years ago of a great mind. Someone once
55
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.879
famously said, I think it was Secretary Gates, Biden has
56
00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:46.860
never made a decision with respect to foreign policy that
57
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:47.699
wasn't dead wrong.
58
00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:50.500
He hasn't been right about a foreign policy decision in
59
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:51.479
the last 45 years.
60
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:51.740
Right.
61
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.259
And what did he do?
62
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.969
He gave more money. He gave aid and comfort. in
63
00:03:57.009 --> 00:04:00.060
his way. He opened up the borders to the Islamists
64
00:04:00.419 --> 00:04:03.580
who come in here. We don't know how many hundreds
65
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.139
of thousands or millions of Islamists are here in our
66
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:11.719
country waiting for the call for Intifada here. Look what's
67
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:16.620
going on in Europe. France is burning. What the Nazis
68
00:04:16.660 --> 00:04:20.170
couldn't do with Hitler, they're doing to themselves. But it's
69
00:04:20.189 --> 00:04:22.209
not really the French French who are doing this, even
70
00:04:22.230 --> 00:04:25.959
though you have a bunch of dumb kids maybe 15%
71
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.459
of the protesters, the Islamists and the communists have taken
72
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.920
over the fight in the streets of Paris. It's spreading
73
00:04:31.939 --> 00:04:36.220
into Portugal, into Spain, into Italy, into Belgium. This is
74
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.560
a cancer that needs to be confronted and suppressed. And,
75
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.300
God forbid, it's coming to the United States. That's merely
76
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:49.680
coming attractions because the ambitions of these hegemonic Islamists is limitless.
77
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.540
They truly want to take over the world with their
78
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:58.459
extreme policies. So, Eric, you said something about the former
79
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.250
president of the United States, Obama, who I never liked,
80
00:05:01.810 --> 00:05:05.350
never trusted, never voted for, think he was the worst
81
00:05:05.410 --> 00:05:07.730
when he first started, always thought he was a fraud,
82
00:05:07.750 --> 00:05:12.980
and he's done nothing but support my concerns. Your thoughts?
83
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:14.519
Right.
84
00:05:14.540 --> 00:05:17.259
So I think it's important to realize, I think, that
85
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.639
most of where we are today in terms of why
86
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.560
the DSA is ascendant, why.
87
00:05:24.019 --> 00:05:29.220
We see Iran formally on the cusp of a nuclear weapon.
88
00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:31.910
As you point out, Barack Obama is the one who
89
00:05:31.949 --> 00:05:34.790
set this all in motion. But before we get there,
90
00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:37.889
let's just give a quick update on Iran. So there's
91
00:05:37.910 --> 00:05:40.949
going to be an election in Israel next week, and
92
00:05:41.149 --> 00:05:44.680
President Trump has taken the unprecedented step of endorsing Prime
93
00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:49.660
Minister Bibi Netanyahu. And I think that's more than anything,
94
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.279
it speaks to the fact that there's going to be
95
00:05:52.300 --> 00:05:54.920
an attack very, very soon. Why do I say that?
96
00:05:54.980 --> 00:05:59.579
Because I think the attack is being planned, and if
97
00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:02.399
there are two things that President Trump wants, either that
98
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.000
Bibi wins so that we're on schedule to make the
99
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:10.810
attack along the side with the Israelis, or the election
100
00:06:10.850 --> 00:06:14.850
is inconclusive and the caretaker government of Bibi will be
101
00:06:14.889 --> 00:06:17.589
in place until there's another election. Because if there's a
102
00:06:17.629 --> 00:06:22.019
new prime minister, it would probably be Eisenkot, but And
103
00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:24.740
he has no doubt has a similar view of Iran
104
00:06:24.779 --> 00:06:27.360
and would want to also have a regime change. But
105
00:06:27.379 --> 00:06:31.610
there's going to be a delay in having him appoint
106
00:06:31.670 --> 00:06:36.110
his officials and government appointees and getting up to speed.
107
00:06:36.529 --> 00:06:39.230
It would delay the attack. So I think that one
108
00:06:39.250 --> 00:06:41.509
of the reasons why Trump is rooting for Bibi so
109
00:06:41.589 --> 00:06:44.209
hard is aside from the fact that they've had such
110
00:06:44.250 --> 00:06:47.889
great success together in attacking Iran, that we don't want
111
00:06:47.930 --> 00:06:49.850
to be off schedule. We want to stay on schedule.
112
00:06:49.870 --> 00:06:53.029
So I think that's the reason for the Trump Trump endorsement.
113
00:06:53.910 --> 00:06:57.850
But of course, why is this regime so powerful? This
114
00:06:57.889 --> 00:06:59.910
regime is so powerful because, Richard, as you point out,
115
00:06:59.930 --> 00:07:03.259
it goes back to the JCPOA, the Iran nuclear deal,
116
00:07:04.139 --> 00:07:05.879
which was sold on a lie. Now, there are three
117
00:07:06.220 --> 00:07:11.040
great Obama achievements during his administration. The first, of course,
118
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.310
was Obamacare, which was sold on the lies of it'll
119
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.290
bend down the cost curve. If you like your doctor,
120
00:07:16.329 --> 00:07:18.250
you can keep your doctor. If you like your plan,
121
00:07:18.649 --> 00:07:22.170
you can keep your plan. But now, of course... Medical
122
00:07:22.209 --> 00:07:26.180
care is unaffordable and the quality of the care is
123
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.660
continually deteriorating. That's Obamacare. What the Democrats have done successfully
124
00:07:30.740 --> 00:07:33.740
is they've been able to say, look how expensive this is,
125
00:07:33.779 --> 00:07:35.899
we need more money. The Republicans are trying to block
126
00:07:35.980 --> 00:07:39.019
people from getting more money. Of course, the answer to
127
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.220
this is a complete overhaul of our medical care system
128
00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:47.360
and the eradication of Obamacare. The second great achievement was
129
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:49.939
the Paris Climate Accords, which was the lie of the
130
00:07:49.980 --> 00:07:53.509
Green New Deal. And we've seen how that has played out.
131
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.319
And then, of course, is the king of all lies,
132
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.959
the Iran nuclear deal. We were told that it would
133
00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:03.000
block all paths to nuclear weapon. It, in fact, guaranteed
134
00:08:03.060 --> 00:08:05.720
a path to nuclear weapon. Keep in mind, when Barack
135
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.990
Obama became president, under international law, there were resolutions in
136
00:08:10.009 --> 00:08:14.910
the United Nations that barred Iran from any nuclear enrichment,
137
00:08:15.569 --> 00:08:20.670
any uranium enrichment. Obama allowed uranium enrichment. There were resolutions
138
00:08:20.709 --> 00:08:23.829
in the U.N. that precluded completely Iran having a ballistic
139
00:08:23.870 --> 00:08:27.519
missile system. The JCPOA allowed for the development of a
140
00:08:27.540 --> 00:08:31.100
ballistic missile system. And there were sanctions in place, and
141
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.679
Obama lifted those sanctions. And, of course, Iran was the
142
00:08:36.259 --> 00:08:40.600
signatory to the nuclear nonproliferation agreement. So if they really
143
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.730
didn't want a nuclear weapon, just enforce it. Just enforce
144
00:08:43.750 --> 00:08:44.299
all those U.N.
145
00:08:44.350 --> 00:08:44.870
Resolutions.
146
00:08:44.889 --> 00:08:49.120
But Obama let that genie out of the bottle. guarantee
147
00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:51.759
that would be nuclear weapon guarantee that have a ballistic
148
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.879
missile system with which to deliver it and guaranteed that
149
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.259
they would fund the i r g c their terror
150
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:01.940
network in the military and threaten israel and what happened
151
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.570
india to know who the prime minister of israel called
152
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.549
out obama he told the world that this deal was
153
00:09:09.590 --> 00:09:14.470
a bad deal and obama has never forgiven him and
154
00:09:14.490 --> 00:09:16.649
he's lived the rest of his life trying to punish
155
00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:22.450
Netanyahu and the Israelis and Jews. And it's alive today.
156
00:09:22.470 --> 00:09:25.450
It's in the example of this. Last week he was
157
00:09:25.490 --> 00:09:28.629
in Dublin. He gave a speech. In the speech he
158
00:09:28.669 --> 00:09:33.769
talks about how poorly Jews were treated in Europe during
159
00:09:33.809 --> 00:09:37.549
World War II. Big revelation. But then he goes on
160
00:09:37.590 --> 00:09:41.590
to say, they, meaning the Jews, took land of people
161
00:09:41.830 --> 00:09:47.909
and they, meaning Palestinians, were expelled. And those people understandably said, quote,
162
00:09:47.950 --> 00:09:51.799
this is injustice and I want my land back, close quote.
163
00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:59.710
In other words, Israel was responsible for October 7th. blame
164
00:10:00.230 --> 00:10:03.649
the Jews it is just merely a continuation of the
165
00:10:03.690 --> 00:10:08.120
revisionist history lies and anti-semitic tropes that passes fact today
166
00:10:08.769 --> 00:10:13.559
and Barack Obama put all that in motion when he
167
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.379
became president and the JCPOA was the beginning of it
168
00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:20.820
because what were the three reasons you could disagree with Obama,
169
00:10:21.580 --> 00:10:25.460
you were either an idiot, a bigot, or your first
170
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:30.200
allegiance was to a foreign power, meaning Israel. So that
171
00:10:30.259 --> 00:10:34.379
begins this notion, and that begins, of course, the demification
172
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:39.230
of AIPAC, but of course the demification of any Zionist,
173
00:10:39.269 --> 00:10:43.330
of any pro-Israeli, of being suspicious of Jews. And that
174
00:10:43.350 --> 00:10:46.259
has built up a momentum. And of course, after October 7th,
175
00:10:46.269 --> 00:10:50.190
you have this explosion of anti-Semitism, and the ascendancy of
176
00:10:50.210 --> 00:10:55.429
the DSA. Obama has put that all in motion. But
177
00:10:55.450 --> 00:10:59.330
what Obama did not discuss, because facts are meaningless to
178
00:10:59.370 --> 00:11:03.029
the man, and which is another legacy, you can have
179
00:11:03.549 --> 00:11:07.740
your own truths, and it could be completely fact-free. He
180
00:11:07.769 --> 00:11:12.600
doesn't mention in his screed in Dublin that Jews have
181
00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:16.610
been on the land for 3,000 years, We're called Jews
182
00:11:16.710 --> 00:11:19.169
because we're from Judea, and there's a place called Judea
183
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:25.159
and Samaria. The Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, the third holiest
184
00:11:25.220 --> 00:11:27.720
place in the Muslim world, is built on top of
185
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.659
the Hebrew temple that preceded it. You can't build on
186
00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:34.940
top of something unless it was there first. And this
187
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.899
land that was taken, he doesn't discuss at all that
188
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.990
all this land was illegal purchases from the Ottomans, the Lebanese,
189
00:11:42.029 --> 00:11:46.139
and other Arabs. And they thought the land was worthless
190
00:11:46.179 --> 00:11:48.539
because they couldn't take this desert or the swamp land,
191
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.399
whatever it is they were selling at the time, and
192
00:11:50.419 --> 00:11:52.960
they were thrilled to get rid of it. So a
193
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.840
combination of the Jews that were already there and the
194
00:11:55.899 --> 00:12:03.809
new Jews that came legally created the Jewish population. And
195
00:12:03.850 --> 00:12:07.289
he also doesn't seem to be too concerned that in 1929,
196
00:12:07.289 --> 00:12:10.169
well before Israel was created, that there was a mass
197
00:12:10.210 --> 00:12:12.889
murder of 67 Jews in Hebron. who had been living
198
00:12:12.909 --> 00:12:15.539
there for thousands of years and they were pushed out.
199
00:12:16.659 --> 00:12:19.419
That doesn't seem to disturb him. And of course he
200
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.340
ignores the fact that in 1947 there was the UN
201
00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:26.230
partition plan that called for the creation of two states,
202
00:12:26.450 --> 00:12:29.730
one Arab, one Jewish. The Jews said yes, the Arabs
203
00:12:29.750 --> 00:12:32.570
said no, and five Arab states attacked Israel in an
204
00:12:32.649 --> 00:12:37.409
effort to destroy it. And that created the refugee problem
205
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:42.490
that we see today. And then of course, Egypt illegally
206
00:12:42.610 --> 00:12:48.009
annexed Gaza. Jordan illegally annexed the West Bank, which those
207
00:12:48.049 --> 00:12:50.649
were the two territories combined that were supposed to form
208
00:12:50.669 --> 00:12:54.509
the Arab state, and no one cared at all. And
209
00:12:54.549 --> 00:12:58.649
then in 1967, when Israel defended itself and captured Gaza
210
00:12:58.690 --> 00:13:01.889
and captured the West Bank, Judea and Samaria, all of
211
00:13:01.929 --> 00:13:05.799
a sudden, we have to worry about the Palestinian people
212
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.440
and people taking their land. You didn't care when the
213
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.320
Egyptians took it, and you didn't care when the Jordanians
214
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:15.029
took it. He only cared when supposedly the Jews took it.
215
00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:17.629
Then he also, by the way, he said that the
216
00:13:17.700 --> 00:13:20.860
Jews and the Israelis had overreached in defending themselves.
217
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:27.639
And lost more higher ground. For Obama, Obama is the
218
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:34.620
typical left-wing ideologue. It's terrible when Jews die. And this
219
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.659
is the Dublin speech. It was horrible what the Nazis
220
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.200
did to the Jews. But when Jews fight back and
221
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.500
defend themselves, that is an unpardonable sin. That is the
222
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.980
unforgivable sin. That is why he resents Israel. That is
223
00:13:49.019 --> 00:13:54.539
why he resents Bibi Netanyahu. That is why there's no
224
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:00.210
difference between being an anti-Zionist and being anti-Semitic. Because you
225
00:14:00.250 --> 00:14:03.370
can't say Jews can't defend themselves. He doesn't believe they can.
226
00:14:04.590 --> 00:14:08.070
Because when they do, by definition, they lose the moral
227
00:14:08.110 --> 00:14:12.620
high ground. His thesis is that the Democrats, if they
228
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:16.480
can say centrist, they can attract the former McCain-Romney voters
229
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:21.490
and peel them off from Republicans. Well, this is a
230
00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:23.750
guy who's obviously been asleep for the last couple of years.
231
00:14:24.370 --> 00:14:27.429
I am one of those McCain-Romney Republicans. I voted for McCain,
232
00:14:27.549 --> 00:14:30.070
and I voted for Romney. And if you think for
233
00:14:30.090 --> 00:14:32.889
a moment that I'm going to vote for anyone in
234
00:14:32.909 --> 00:14:37.129
the Democratic Party, the party of anti-Semites, the party of
235
00:14:37.190 --> 00:14:41.179
Zoran Mamdani, the party of Abdullah Sayed, the party of AOC,
236
00:14:41.259 --> 00:14:44.600
Bernie Sanders, who control and run and direct the party,
237
00:14:45.179 --> 00:14:47.659
you are out of your mind. Ron, you have fallen asleep.
238
00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:51.100
You are the one that is at the fringe. You
239
00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:55.129
are a straight, white, Jewish Zionist. There is nothing more
240
00:14:55.230 --> 00:14:58.529
evil than you in a Democratic Party. I know you
241
00:14:58.549 --> 00:15:02.029
want to run for president. You have no hope. And
242
00:15:02.070 --> 00:15:04.429
you are delusional if you think that you're going to
243
00:15:04.470 --> 00:15:09.500
be attracting... Romney McCain voters, because they are pro-Israel, they
244
00:15:09.539 --> 00:15:16.470
are pro-Zionist, they are not anti-Semites, they are primarily Reagan Republicans,
245
00:15:16.889 --> 00:15:19.090
and if you think Reagan Republicans are going to vote
246
00:15:19.129 --> 00:15:23.090
for that dreck on the left that you're hoping to co-opt,
247
00:15:23.409 --> 00:15:24.389
you are out of your mind.
248
00:15:25.690 --> 00:15:25.990
Jesse.
249
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.580
I think both of you have identified the critiques and
250
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.490
the failures of the Obama and the Biden administration on
251
00:15:37.529 --> 00:15:40.269
a foreign policy. Let me just take a little bit
252
00:15:40.289 --> 00:15:45.129
more of their failures on the domestic side here in
253
00:15:45.529 --> 00:15:50.250
the United States that affects middle-class voters, even today and such,
254
00:15:50.309 --> 00:15:53.509
because as both of you pointed out, the war in
255
00:15:53.549 --> 00:15:55.799
Iran that should have been done at one point or
256
00:15:55.860 --> 00:15:59.909
another over the last 47 years, depending on whoever, regardless
257
00:15:59.950 --> 00:16:05.730
of who the president was, but was exasperated under the JCPOA,
258
00:16:06.330 --> 00:16:11.860
the Iran nuclear deal that was birthed by Obama and
259
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.720
then brought back by Biden, has led to where we
260
00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:18.659
are today in a little bit of economic issues. But
261
00:16:18.700 --> 00:16:24.019
let's talk about it. I touched upon one that I
262
00:16:24.059 --> 00:16:26.350
was going to speak about, and that was Obamacare and
263
00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:30.529
how we can't have our insurances. Average Americans can't keep
264
00:16:30.549 --> 00:16:33.850
their doctors. The average costs have gone up. It's been
265
00:16:33.870 --> 00:16:36.809
the Trump administration that has been moving forward on prescriptive
266
00:16:36.850 --> 00:16:40.429
drugs to try and level that back. whether you voted
267
00:16:40.450 --> 00:16:42.250
for him or not, or how you felt about him,
268
00:16:42.690 --> 00:16:45.210
John McCain made, I believe one of the worst decisions
269
00:16:45.529 --> 00:16:48.429
of his political career out of spite when he voted
270
00:16:48.669 --> 00:16:53.950
against removing Obamacare under the first Trump administration, um, when
271
00:16:53.970 --> 00:16:56.389
they were able to do it without a filibuster, but
272
00:16:56.429 --> 00:16:59.950
let's just focus on Obama, the Obama administration and the
273
00:16:59.970 --> 00:17:04.130
Biden administration's domestic policy failures. And I can, I can
274
00:17:04.380 --> 00:17:07.740
really sum up in four issues, economic strain and inflation,
275
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:14.220
an unchecked open border, no security whatsoever, over-regulation and energy
276
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:19.400
restrictions that have set America backwards instead of moving it forward,
277
00:17:19.849 --> 00:17:25.470
and an unchecked, unelected federal bureaucracy that was actually making
278
00:17:25.529 --> 00:17:29.690
policy and making it tougher for average Americans to go
279
00:17:29.750 --> 00:17:32.609
about their business and go about their lives. First, let's
280
00:17:32.630 --> 00:17:39.059
talk about the economic strain and inflation. The It's unbelievable
281
00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:42.259
that people still forget that inflation was at 9 and
282
00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:46.829
almost 11 percent under the Biden administration, that the Obamacare
283
00:17:47.309 --> 00:17:53.750
that occurred under President Obama led to additional costs, more expenses,
284
00:17:54.170 --> 00:17:58.650
more expensive situations and whatnot. The Biden's American Rescue Plan
285
00:17:59.430 --> 00:18:03.230
did nothing to stimulate the economy. It did nothing but
286
00:18:03.250 --> 00:18:07.490
driving historic inflation and increasing household costs. I think we
287
00:18:07.509 --> 00:18:11.130
have discussed the complete and utter failure of both the
288
00:18:11.190 --> 00:18:17.140
Obama administration and especially exasperated under the Biden administration on
289
00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:22.519
the federal border, where right now we have zero border crossings.
290
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.279
We have a secure northern and southern border. We're secure
291
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:32.640
in our ports. Yet 21 million illegal immigrants mainly many
292
00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:36.240
with mental issues or criminal records, have entered and were
293
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:39.759
allowed to enter our country and now are spread into
294
00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:42.569
our cities, which I think we've said over the years
295
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:46.990
in a Biden administration, basically it made every town, every
296
00:18:47.029 --> 00:18:53.150
neighborhood in the United States a border town. Certainly over-regulation
297
00:18:53.190 --> 00:18:58.160
of energy restrictions, the canceling and capping of fossil fuels,
298
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:03.200
the canceling of the Keystone XL pipeline, the implementation of
299
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.569
the failed Green News scam mandate. And of course, something
300
00:19:07.589 --> 00:19:10.170
that I hate the most, and every American hates, is
301
00:19:10.230 --> 00:19:15.309
a federal bureaucracy that eroded individual liberties and created burdensome
302
00:19:15.349 --> 00:19:20.670
regulations on small businesses and actually empowered government over the people. Now,
303
00:19:21.549 --> 00:19:24.690
I'm proud to be part of the party that has
304
00:19:24.829 --> 00:19:28.490
stayed that off. As Republicans, we want to restore our
305
00:19:28.529 --> 00:19:30.960
national security, and I believe we're doing that. Is it difficult?
306
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:35.299
Is it challenging? Is it something that needs to be done? Yes, yes,
307
00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:39.420
and yes. We've secured our borders. We are now in
308
00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:43.549
a doctrine of peace through strength, a la the great
309
00:19:43.890 --> 00:19:48.670
President Ronald Reagan, and we have advanced missile defenses. We've
310
00:19:48.769 --> 00:19:53.220
reignited our local communists. through tax relief and aggressive deregulation
311
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:58.660
and an economic nationalism. Tariffs, which were poo-pooed in the
312
00:19:58.700 --> 00:20:02.910
beginning by every economist there was on the payroll of
313
00:20:02.930 --> 00:20:06.730
the mainstream media, has demonstrated it's been a tool that
314
00:20:06.769 --> 00:20:11.089
has established the United States. and helped its economy and
315
00:20:11.130 --> 00:20:14.450
protected and drawn in more manufacturing. And then when it
316
00:20:14.509 --> 00:20:18.410
comes to energy dependence and dominance, you know what? Like
317
00:20:18.450 --> 00:20:21.329
it or not, the drill baby dream mantra has helped
318
00:20:21.390 --> 00:20:25.029
us do this. Ending the Green New Deal scam, subsidies.
319
00:20:24.619 --> 00:20:25.099
Has done that.
320
00:20:25.619 --> 00:20:27.680
And in all of the above, and then all of
321
00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:32.619
the above strategy, prioritizing traditional fossil fuels like coal, oil,
322
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:36.640
gas as your official platform with understanding that renewable energy's
323
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.980
are part of that strategy, but not mandated upon the people,
324
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.559
not forcing it upon the people to pay more to
325
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:50.640
get less energy. And it's something that they wanted to do.
326
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:56.240
They are pushing something, this Green News scam, that science
327
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.390
has not caught up to. It's funny. It is one
328
00:20:59.410 --> 00:21:01.690
of the things that Republicans were saying all along, or
329
00:21:01.769 --> 00:21:05.089
I'm sorry, Democrats said all along, that all these different
330
00:21:05.170 --> 00:21:14.900
alternative medications and recovery systems for COVID were not science.
331
00:21:15.180 --> 00:21:17.769
But when it comes to science and the Green News scam,
332
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:18.990
the Democrats didn't care.
333
00:21:20.250 --> 00:21:23.950
Well said. This is Let the Record Show with Chairman
334
00:21:23.970 --> 00:21:27.509
Jessica Arcea of the Republican Party, known attorney, commentator, essayist
335
00:21:28.109 --> 00:21:32.799
Eric Levine. I am Judge Richard Weinberg. Please stay with us.
336
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:35.240
We'll be back in about a few moments. with our
337
00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:39.460
next segment with more important and interesting conversation. Thank you.
338
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:43.420
Let the Record Show is on the air.
339
00:21:48.539 --> 00:21:53.140
This is Let the Record Show, using common sense. Now,
340
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.589
here are your hosts, Judge Richard Weinberg, essayist and commentator
341
00:21:57.809 --> 00:22:00.390
Eric Levine, and Chairman Jesse Garcia.
342
00:22:03.220 --> 00:22:05.619
Welcome back to Let the Record Show with Chairman Jesse
343
00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:08.180
Garcia of the Republican Party. Jesse is the Vice Chair
344
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.190
of the New York State Republican Party as well as
345
00:22:11.210 --> 00:22:13.910
the County Chair of the Suffolk County Party out on
346
00:22:13.970 --> 00:22:17.089
Long Island, New York. With us is our good friend, co-host,
347
00:22:17.490 --> 00:22:21.910
known attorney, commentator, SAS Eric Levine. I'm Judge Richard Weinberg. So,
348
00:22:23.259 --> 00:22:30.319
let's talk about the Russian war of aggression against the Ukraine. So,
349
00:22:30.619 --> 00:22:32.630
I'm call me simple-minded, but.
350
00:22:32.750 --> 00:22:33.569
You're simple-minded.
351
00:22:33.789 --> 00:22:37.190
Thank you. I appreciate that. I was missing that. I
352
00:22:37.210 --> 00:22:40.410
was missing that because I hadn't been home since early
353
00:22:40.450 --> 00:22:45.809
this morning. Nobody called me simple-minded until I was leaving
354
00:22:45.829 --> 00:22:49.170
the house, but thank God Eric can keep me in line.
355
00:22:49.210 --> 00:22:52.299
You told me to do it. And Jesse said amen,
356
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:57.619
so it must be true. All right. So, simple-minded version.
357
00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:01.750
Ukraine is the victim. Russia is the aggressor. This is
358
00:23:01.869 --> 00:23:10.150
an attempt by Putin, a war criminal, a savage. Hundreds
359
00:23:10.190 --> 00:23:12.960
and hundreds of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians have lost
360
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:18.559
their lives, been maimed, destroying two countries in their own way.
361
00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:24.400
Now in its fourth year, with no end in sight,
362
00:23:25.940 --> 00:23:29.069
with all kinds of theories about what can be done
363
00:23:29.089 --> 00:23:32.990
to end it, It all seems to me that we
364
00:23:33.029 --> 00:23:36.849
have to be realistic. The aggressor has to be contained.
365
00:23:36.869 --> 00:23:41.880
The aggressor cannot be rewarded. We need peace, but it's
366
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.539
not peace at any price. It cannot be a land
367
00:23:45.579 --> 00:23:52.519
grab by Putin. Both Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden allowed
368
00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:57.589
land grabs by Putin before. One in Georgia, another part
369
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:01.670
in the Crimea. So what do we have here? Then
370
00:24:01.690 --> 00:24:08.269
you have Trump. Now, Trump was accused of being a
371
00:24:08.349 --> 00:24:11.529
Russian agent and all that nonsense. That's garbage. That was
372
00:24:11.630 --> 00:24:15.170
a dossier, a sealed dossier. That was a fraud. That
373
00:24:15.190 --> 00:24:18.849
was a deception. That was treasonous conduct by the people
374
00:24:18.910 --> 00:24:24.970
behind that to undermine the legitimate election of Trump in 2016.
375
00:24:24.970 --> 00:24:27.549
But that's not to say that Trump doesn't do foolish
376
00:24:27.609 --> 00:24:30.980
things with respect to Putin. He thinks you can cut
377
00:24:31.009 --> 00:24:35.230
a deal with him. That's naive. It's delusional. The historical
378
00:24:35.289 --> 00:24:38.809
record is there is no deal with Putin. He may
379
00:24:38.890 --> 00:24:42.349
play you and give you a little something, a sweetener.
380
00:24:42.369 --> 00:24:45.109
For example, this fellow Hubbard was released after four years
381
00:24:45.130 --> 00:24:50.930
of prison and torture in Russian jails. But fundamentally, the
382
00:24:50.990 --> 00:24:54.589
agenda of Putin is to get as much of the
383
00:24:54.670 --> 00:24:58.559
Ukraine as he possibly can and to weaken NATO. weak
384
00:24:58.579 --> 00:25:00.880
in the United States. He's no friend of the United States.
385
00:25:00.900 --> 00:25:04.220
He has his own hegemonic ambitions. He wants to restore,
386
00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:07.140
whether you call it the Soviet Empire or the Russian Empire,
387
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:10.039
it doesn't matter what you call it, it's all about
388
00:25:11.539 --> 00:25:17.480
taking over large sectors of Europe and weakening the Western alliance.
389
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:23.609
So when Trump sends people like Woodcroft, who's a real
390
00:25:23.630 --> 00:25:30.170
estate developer, from New York City, and he sends him
391
00:25:30.930 --> 00:25:33.549
to negotiate with Putin. That is one of the most naive,
392
00:25:33.609 --> 00:25:37.829
foolish things can possibly be done. Woodcroft doesn't have the experience.
393
00:25:38.349 --> 00:25:43.309
He doesn't have the physical, raw courage of fighting in
394
00:25:43.349 --> 00:25:46.170
a negotiation. A guy like Putin, who is a KGB
395
00:25:46.269 --> 00:25:49.769
killer and torturer, there's no way the man is up
396
00:25:49.809 --> 00:25:53.170
to the job. If you want to negotiate with Putin,
397
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:55.400
you do it from a position of strength with the
398
00:25:55.460 --> 00:25:58.579
toughest guys you can get in the room. people like Rubio,
399
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:04.859
people like Cotton, people like Dan Sullivan of Alaska, like
400
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.980
Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, people who really know what they're
401
00:26:09.009 --> 00:26:15.170
dealing with. And one thing that absolutely outrages me is
402
00:26:15.470 --> 00:26:20.710
they're now talking about having trilateral negotiations, Ukraine, Russia, United States.
403
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.720
A few days ago, they were talking about having trilateral
404
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:28.380
negotiations with China, Russia, and the United States, including out Ukraine.
405
00:26:28.859 --> 00:26:31.569
And to me, that was like Yalta 2. And what
406
00:26:31.589 --> 00:26:38.690
was Yalta 1? That's when Stalin out-negotiated, out-flanked, out-maneuvered Franklin
407
00:26:38.710 --> 00:26:43.069
Delano Roosevelt. As he was in his waning days, he
408
00:26:43.089 --> 00:26:46.059
was dying, he was critically ill, and he gave away
409
00:26:46.130 --> 00:26:49.960
security and independence for the Eastern European countries at Yalta.
410
00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:54.470
Yalta was a disgrace. And any deal that would include
411
00:26:54.690 --> 00:26:58.630
Ukraine out, like a China-Russia-U.S. deal, would be a Yalta
412
00:26:58.789 --> 00:27:03.390
II with the same disastrous implications. The message is aggression,
413
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.920
war crimes go unpunished, and the victim has to pay
414
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:12.380
the price and submit. And I am against that. Eric.
415
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:16.859
I agree with everything you say. But I will say this.
416
00:27:17.339 --> 00:27:20.819
If you're going to make a if you're trying to
417
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:23.410
establish a policy and you want to lead the country
418
00:27:23.450 --> 00:27:25.490
and explain to them why you're doing what you're doing,
419
00:27:26.309 --> 00:27:30.710
don't say really incredibly unbelievable things that everyone knows is false.
420
00:27:32.069 --> 00:27:37.940
And that's when Steve Witkoff calls Vladimir Putin humanitarian. Vladimir
421
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:40.839
Putin is a savage. He's a war criminal.
422
00:27:41.460 --> 00:27:42.200
He's evil.
423
00:27:43.019 --> 00:27:46.910
He's all kinds of things. He is not a humanitarian.
424
00:27:47.049 --> 00:27:48.779
And To the extent you want to be able to
425
00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:52.180
persuade the American people that your policy is a good one,
426
00:27:52.730 --> 00:27:55.910
don't say things that you know everyone thinks is just stupid.
427
00:27:56.690 --> 00:28:00.670
That is just plain stupid. It is unpersuasive, and what
428
00:28:00.690 --> 00:28:03.670
it does is persuade the American people that they're being
429
00:28:03.750 --> 00:28:07.519
lied to. So I think it behooves the president to
430
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.880
explain to us why he is doing what he is
431
00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:14.819
doing with Russia and Ukraine. Now, I understand he makes
432
00:28:14.859 --> 00:28:17.599
the point, and I He wants to save lives, and
433
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:19.960
that's great. That's laudable. We all want to save lives.
434
00:28:21.210 --> 00:28:25.930
But on what terms? I can end any war. It's
435
00:28:25.970 --> 00:28:30.769
called surrender. Every war can end if one side just surrenders.
436
00:28:31.730 --> 00:28:35.059
And in essence, what is being asked of the Ukrainians
437
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:39.380
right now is to surrender. And they can't. They can't
438
00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:42.400
just give up their own country. The expectation and the
439
00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:46.369
demand is unreasonable. So there has to be something in
440
00:28:46.410 --> 00:28:50.650
it for them. You can't just give Ukraine to Russia. Now,
441
00:28:50.690 --> 00:28:53.170
the theory supposedly is we're going to, for two things,
442
00:28:53.190 --> 00:28:56.410
we want to peel Russia away from China and we
443
00:28:56.430 --> 00:29:00.819
want to persuade Russia not to help Iran. But neither
444
00:29:00.859 --> 00:29:02.720
of those things have been achieved and neither of those
445
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:08.579
things will be achieved. I think, look, Europe is a
446
00:29:08.619 --> 00:29:11.599
weak sister here in the NATO alliance. There's no question.
447
00:29:11.619 --> 00:29:15.250
You just look at what's going on. in Paris, in France,
448
00:29:15.309 --> 00:29:19.970
in Belgium, in the UK, in Spain. These are people
449
00:29:19.990 --> 00:29:21.309
you have to wonder whether or not they have a
450
00:29:21.349 --> 00:29:25.569
survival instinct. But still and yet, our interests are still
451
00:29:25.609 --> 00:29:29.730
more closely aligned with Europe than it is with Russia.
452
00:29:30.789 --> 00:29:33.069
Russia needs to be held at bay. We cannot have
453
00:29:33.250 --> 00:29:36.910
an aggressive, expanding, ascendant Russia. That is a threat to
454
00:29:36.930 --> 00:29:40.119
the United States national security. And that's why I think
455
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:43.799
the diesel deal with Ukraine, particularly on the eve of
456
00:29:43.900 --> 00:29:51.109
the elections, was ill-advised. Because I think the American people understand,
457
00:29:51.890 --> 00:29:54.170
and they'll see at the pump, that the price of
458
00:29:54.210 --> 00:29:56.970
diesel is not really going to come down much. So
459
00:29:56.990 --> 00:30:00.150
I think that was an unfortunate decision by the president.
460
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:01.990
And it undermines the sanctions.
461
00:30:02.190 --> 00:30:04.769
And it undermines the sanctions that were just passed before
462
00:30:04.849 --> 00:30:10.529
by the Senate that Lindsey Graham had advocated for. I
463
00:30:10.589 --> 00:30:14.130
really just don't understand the policy. Now, the president has
464
00:30:14.170 --> 00:30:16.250
been 100% right all along the way in the Middle East.
465
00:30:17.529 --> 00:30:20.710
And I support him, and I hope and I expect
466
00:30:20.750 --> 00:30:24.960
that he will finish the job with Iran. And when
467
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:27.980
it comes to Ukraine, the president can brag that when
468
00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:30.539
he became president in his first term, He's the one
469
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.589
that sold javelins to the Ukrainians. He's the one that
470
00:30:33.619 --> 00:30:35.710
gave them real defense weapons. He's the one that gave
471
00:30:35.730 --> 00:30:39.690
them a chance to survive. Obama literally sent them lunches
472
00:30:39.730 --> 00:30:42.890
and blankets. Literally, that's what he said. He was prepared
473
00:30:42.910 --> 00:30:48.130
to have Ukraine completely overrun and destroyed. And with Biden,
474
00:30:48.170 --> 00:30:52.819
of course, his explanation originally was a minor incursion is okay. Well,
475
00:30:53.380 --> 00:30:56.140
Putin hears that. He's going to give me the whole country.
476
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.089
And that's what invited the invasions. And Trump has, for
477
00:31:00.109 --> 00:31:02.710
the most part, provided Ukraine with what they need. And
478
00:31:02.730 --> 00:31:06.609
there are legitimate concerns regarding how many weapons, how many
479
00:31:06.650 --> 00:31:09.190
Patriots we can give them. We need to certainly maintain
480
00:31:09.230 --> 00:31:16.319
our own supply. But in terms of, there's a difference
481
00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:20.180
between being unable to give Ukraine what they want, or
482
00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:23.240
not giving them as much as they need, and giving
483
00:31:23.299 --> 00:31:26.259
a gift to the Russians, giving Ukraine to the Russians.
484
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:31.420
Putin's goal is the complete and utter conquering and surrender
485
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:35.299
of Ukraine. And then he wants to launch from there
486
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:40.329
an incursion into Eastern Europe and destroy NATO. We can't
487
00:31:40.349 --> 00:31:44.230
let that happen. And whatever, but back to the original point,
488
00:31:44.250 --> 00:31:46.230
whatever policy you want to adopt, if you want to
489
00:31:46.269 --> 00:31:48.990
sell it to the American people, you can't say things
490
00:31:49.029 --> 00:31:51.369
that are so inane that people are just going to
491
00:31:51.470 --> 00:31:54.700
roll their eyes and say, that is just dumb. And
492
00:31:54.720 --> 00:32:00.319
when Steve Witkoff calls Putin a humanitarian, that is just dumb.
493
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:04.680
They agreed to these trilateral talks, the second round of trilateral,
494
00:32:04.700 --> 00:32:09.950
the second gambit of trilateral, which is Ukraine, U.S. and Russia.
495
00:32:09.970 --> 00:32:12.809
That's great. And what happens after they have this agreement,
496
00:32:13.089 --> 00:32:16.289
first thing Putin does is he launches major attacks against Kiev.
497
00:32:16.549 --> 00:32:16.730
Right.
498
00:32:16.750 --> 00:32:19.089
I mean, supposedly, you know, Trump announces that there's a
499
00:32:19.130 --> 00:32:26.890
moratorium on each country attacking Ukraine. Energy sources. And Ukraine says,
500
00:32:26.910 --> 00:32:28.799
that's news to us, but okay, we'll abide by it.
501
00:32:29.349 --> 00:32:32.539
And Putin attacks energy sources. Refineries.
502
00:32:33.450 --> 00:32:34.559
And civilian homes.
503
00:32:34.779 --> 00:32:39.500
Well, the entire attack is directed against civilians. Everything they
504
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:40.200
do is against civilians.
505
00:32:40.220 --> 00:32:42.599
And why is that not a war crime? And where's
506
00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:44.240
the international outrage about that?
507
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:46.079
Because he's not Jewish.
508
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:48.980
Oh, okay. Jesse, your turn.
509
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:52.440
I think one of the things we're missing here, and
510
00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:57.670
I will disagree, is I believe that any time that
511
00:32:58.210 --> 00:33:01.210
you can get these three parties in the room together
512
00:33:01.569 --> 00:33:06.049
in trilateral talks, trilateral negotiations, that it's important to do so.
513
00:33:06.349 --> 00:33:12.569
And if the goal is to separate China and Russia,
514
00:33:12.990 --> 00:33:17.490
that is a goal worth searching for. I completely agree,
515
00:33:17.509 --> 00:33:20.109
and I'm glad that You both made the point that
516
00:33:20.390 --> 00:33:23.569
the weak sister here in this discussion is Europe, has
517
00:33:23.609 --> 00:33:26.369
always been Europe. The other matter here is that we're
518
00:33:26.410 --> 00:33:29.460
sitting here more than three years later after this war began.
519
00:33:30.180 --> 00:33:33.259
And when did it actually start? It started under the
520
00:33:33.380 --> 00:33:37.299
Obama administration and under the Biden administration, which basically gave
521
00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:41.529
Russia and Putin this animal, the dog whistle, to do
522
00:33:41.569 --> 00:33:44.369
what it needed to be done. And I appreciate that
523
00:33:44.450 --> 00:33:47.089
Eric pointed out that the Javelin missiles were sold to
524
00:33:47.109 --> 00:33:52.609
the Ukraine during the Trump administration. And for the most part,
525
00:33:52.630 --> 00:33:56.650
the United States, despite during the 2024 elections and despite
526
00:33:56.670 --> 00:33:59.029
some concerns that the United States was going to pull
527
00:33:59.069 --> 00:34:02.009
away from Ukraine, has provided, the United States has provided
528
00:34:02.569 --> 00:34:06.299
the Ukraine, what it has needed to defend itself. This
529
00:34:06.380 --> 00:34:09.219
is probably going to be one of the more complex
530
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:14.139
type of negotiations and peace treaties or peace accords to
531
00:34:14.219 --> 00:34:17.019
reach that we're going to see. But the primary goal
532
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:20.780
here has to be a swift end to this conflict
533
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.769
and a stop of a loss of life. Because this
534
00:34:25.250 --> 00:34:29.809
ongoing permanent war is going to remain a drain on
535
00:34:29.829 --> 00:34:34.389
the United States. and its resources, and its dollars and cents.
536
00:34:34.670 --> 00:34:38.630
It's going to be a complete and constant threat to
537
00:34:38.710 --> 00:34:43.909
our allies in Europe. And some different tactics have to
538
00:34:43.949 --> 00:34:47.010
be brought forward. Now, I do disagree. I do agree.
539
00:34:47.050 --> 00:34:49.760
Excuse me. Some of the language that has been used
540
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.300
by members of the Trump administration, and even when Donald
541
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:55.739
Trump himself, the president said on the eve of him
542
00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:58.440
becoming president, that he could end this war in 24 hours.
543
00:35:00.489 --> 00:35:01.530
I believe in his heart.
544
00:35:01.730 --> 00:35:04.070
He thinks that he and Putin have a special relationship
545
00:35:04.110 --> 00:35:05.369
and the deal can be cut.
546
00:35:05.469 --> 00:35:06.949
And the question is when you end the war and
547
00:35:06.989 --> 00:35:09.530
you say, but on what terms? I told you I
548
00:35:09.570 --> 00:35:11.329
can end the war tomorrow once I surrender.
549
00:35:11.349 --> 00:35:11.769
Exactly.
550
00:35:12.070 --> 00:35:14.889
On what terms? And if you don't end it on
551
00:35:14.909 --> 00:35:19.280
the right terms, Europe's in more danger.
552
00:35:19.900 --> 00:35:23.519
You two have great knowledge on foreign affairs. Do you
553
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:30.769
believe that any peace accord between Russia and Ukraine is
554
00:35:30.809 --> 00:35:34.570
going to go back, whenever it's reached, now, four years
555
00:35:34.610 --> 00:35:37.550
from now, eight years from now, whenever it's reached, do
556
00:35:37.590 --> 00:35:39.280
you think it's going to go back to the borders
557
00:35:39.300 --> 00:35:43.320
that were pre-the invasion in Europe? Do we believe that?
558
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:47.599
No, and Zelensky has agreed that he'll give up some
559
00:35:47.699 --> 00:35:47.980
of these.
560
00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:48.909
He'll freeze the lines now.
561
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:51.219
He'll freeze the lines as to where they are. It's
562
00:35:51.300 --> 00:35:54.789
Putin who keeps saying no. It's Putin. He keeps wanting
563
00:35:54.829 --> 00:35:57.309
additional land, even land that he hasn't conquered.
564
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:05.679
I believe that those positions can only be truly set
565
00:36:06.059 --> 00:36:10.960
and discussed and set to pen the paper in trilateral negotiations,
566
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:15.659
in a trilateral, all three parties sitting together to move
567
00:36:15.699 --> 00:36:17.940
this forward. And again, I agree with you. Some of
568
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:20.880
the language that's been used by the Trump administration, not helpful,
569
00:36:21.139 --> 00:36:23.760
not believable. It's only actually going to act as a
570
00:36:23.780 --> 00:36:29.710
stumbling block, both for public support and the negotiations with
571
00:36:29.730 --> 00:36:31.730
the people that are sitting across the table.
572
00:36:31.929 --> 00:36:33.170
Yeah, I agree with you. All three of them have
573
00:36:33.190 --> 00:36:35.469
to sit at the table, but everybody has to be
574
00:36:35.550 --> 00:36:39.429
interested in ending the war. Putin is not interested in
575
00:36:39.570 --> 00:36:43.059
ending the war. He is only interested in conquering Ukraine.
576
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:45.900
That's it. That's, that's, that's his solution.
577
00:36:46.940 --> 00:36:50.079
That may be his solution. And what he wants, what
578
00:36:50.099 --> 00:36:53.780
he gets is completely different.
579
00:36:52.739 --> 00:36:54.940
Because he won't agree to anything. He won't agree to
580
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:58.179
anything less. That's what I think you're missing. He won't
581
00:36:58.219 --> 00:36:59.300
agree to anything less.
582
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:00.840
Jesse, rebuttal Tarek.
583
00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:03.760
What?
584
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:05.360
Your rebuttal, Tarek.
585
00:37:06.460 --> 00:37:06.920
I just did.
586
00:37:06.940 --> 00:37:10.179
It was so good.
587
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:11.539
I was still.
588
00:37:14.139 --> 00:37:18.559
Wrong. Let's be clear. I'd like peace.
589
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:21.780
But not a peace at any price.
590
00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:24.860
But not a peace at any price. I think You
591
00:37:24.900 --> 00:37:29.179
can't reward an aggressor, even if you do a deal now,
592
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:31.800
freezing the lines in place, and that becomes the basis
593
00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:33.599
of the deal. And I agree with both of you.
594
00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:36.320
I think, if anything, that's what the deal is going
595
00:37:36.340 --> 00:37:41.440
to happen. You're still rewarding Putin, and he'll just wait
596
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:43.000
to make his next move.
597
00:37:44.019 --> 00:37:45.019
But he won't accept it.
598
00:37:45.619 --> 00:37:51.690
Let's assume. Let's assume he decides, yeah, that's fine. I'll
599
00:37:51.710 --> 00:37:52.289
do it for now.
600
00:37:52.429 --> 00:37:54.429
Let's assume a summer rise in the West.
601
00:37:54.469 --> 00:37:58.230
Maybe it will. But let's be clear. The first time
602
00:37:58.250 --> 00:38:02.889
you get a weak Democratic administration, an apologist regime like
603
00:38:02.929 --> 00:38:06.090
Obama or Biden, they'll just go forward and do it again.
604
00:38:06.139 --> 00:38:07.030
That's for sure.
605
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:10.019
So at the very least, any deal you cut, what's
606
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:13.059
the enforcement mechanism to keep them in check? And the
607
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.619
only enforcement mechanism that keeps them in check is it
608
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:19.699
has to be sanctions and whether they're military, whether they're economic,
609
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:23.179
whether they're cultural, whether they're being in the world community,
610
00:38:23.380 --> 00:38:26.250
whatever the sanctions are, a range of them, they have
611
00:38:26.269 --> 00:38:29.449
to be in place to cause them to abide by
612
00:38:29.469 --> 00:38:31.030
the terms of the deal. You have to have a deterrence,
613
00:38:31.309 --> 00:38:33.789
a punishment mechanism, and I don't see that happening.
614
00:38:33.869 --> 00:38:36.889
You're the Democratic president. That's exactly why you need regime
615
00:38:36.909 --> 00:38:39.429
change in Iran today, because if you don't have regime
616
00:38:39.449 --> 00:38:42.449
change in Iran before the end of the Trump administration...
617
00:38:42.630 --> 00:38:45.250
The Iranian regime is just going to be back on
618
00:38:45.289 --> 00:38:46.969
its horse, and it's going to be a threat to
619
00:38:47.010 --> 00:38:47.510
the world again.
620
00:38:48.590 --> 00:38:52.539
Yeah, and wake up Chicago, L.A., and New York. Yeah, exactly.
621
00:38:52.699 --> 00:38:54.059
And then you can say, oh, the price of oil
622
00:38:54.099 --> 00:38:57.840
is up 75 cents as the nukes come flying by.
623
00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:00.239
And then you'll say, gee, maybe I should have paid
624
00:39:00.260 --> 00:39:01.079
a bit more for the gas.
625
00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:01.579
Exactly.
626
00:39:02.139 --> 00:39:05.179
This is Let the Record Show with Chairman Jesse Garcia
627
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:08.409
of the Republican Party, your attorney, commentary, essayist, Eric Levine.
628
00:39:08.909 --> 00:39:11.739
I'm Judge Richard Warnberg. Please stay with us. We're back
629
00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:14.539
in but a few moments. The final segment of this
630
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:16.239
week's show. Stay tuned, please.
631
00:39:16.989 --> 00:39:25.670
This is Let the Record Show. This is Let the
632
00:39:25.809 --> 00:39:29.929
Record Show. Now, here are your hosts, Judge Richard Weinstein.
633
00:39:30.619 --> 00:39:35.480
essayist and commentator Eric Levine, and Suffolk County Republican Committee
634
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:37.380
Chairman Jesse Garcia.
635
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:43.070
Welcome back to Let the Record Show with Chairman Jesse
636
00:39:43.110 --> 00:39:47.090
Garcia of the Republican Party, your attorney, commentator, essayist Eric Levine,
637
00:39:47.730 --> 00:39:50.940
and I'm Judge Richard Weinberg. Gentlemen, I want to turn
638
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:53.440
our attention to what I consider to be the most
639
00:39:53.860 --> 00:39:58.610
important New York state election of my lifetime, and that
640
00:39:58.670 --> 00:40:01.710
is the race for the governorship, as well as the
641
00:40:02.010 --> 00:40:06.269
state legislature, as well as the state attorney general, and
642
00:40:06.309 --> 00:40:09.929
as well as the state controller. The future of New
643
00:40:09.949 --> 00:40:12.469
York is at stake. I think New York could be
644
00:40:12.489 --> 00:40:16.269
on the cusp of being a failed state like California is.
645
00:40:17.050 --> 00:40:17.409
That is.
646
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:22.480
They cry, that is the Democrats cry about affordability. So
647
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:26.219
let's talk about affordability for a minute. What's affordability? Affordability
648
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:32.440
is housing, it's energy, it's healthcare, it's tax policy. Affordability
649
00:40:32.579 --> 00:40:36.260
has been destroyed by the Democratic Party and extreme radical
650
00:40:36.619 --> 00:40:40.710
socialist policies. They're going to run out of money. The
651
00:40:40.750 --> 00:40:42.789
state will run out of money and the city is
652
00:40:42.829 --> 00:40:44.650
going to run out of money. And the city is
653
00:40:44.670 --> 00:40:47.449
going to come begging to the state legislature to and
654
00:40:47.469 --> 00:40:51.130
to this governor, the incumbent, Hochul, for more money. And
655
00:40:51.170 --> 00:40:52.570
Hochul is going to have to try to figure out
656
00:40:52.789 --> 00:40:55.050
how to give money to the state to bail out
657
00:40:55.110 --> 00:40:58.590
her political ally, Mondami, when she doesn't have it to
658
00:40:58.630 --> 00:41:01.670
do on her own budget. That's going to be some feat. Now,
659
00:41:01.809 --> 00:41:04.869
anybody who knows anything about government, like Jesse, like me,
660
00:41:05.469 --> 00:41:10.199
like Eric to a minor extent. Very, very minor. What
661
00:41:10.340 --> 00:41:14.900
do you have? You can raise taxes, counterproductive and dangerous.
662
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:19.159
You can cut services. You can do a triage about
663
00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:21.159
cutting services so you do it in an efficient way
664
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:26.159
so it doesn't go hurt or harm. You can increase productivity.
665
00:41:27.070 --> 00:41:31.710
Those are the ways you can deal with making a
666
00:41:31.750 --> 00:41:37.409
state or a city survive, by being economically and fiscally responsible. Now,
667
00:41:38.389 --> 00:41:41.929
something's going on in California, which will be coming attractions
668
00:41:41.969 --> 00:41:45.710
for New York, given the radical socialists who are dominating
669
00:41:45.730 --> 00:41:48.099
the Democratic Party here in the state. I am against
670
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:52.159
one-party rule by either party. It's dangerous. You need a
671
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:57.829
strong countervailing voice, a strong countervailing political power position to
672
00:41:57.849 --> 00:42:01.449
stop the radicals from being in charge and pushing through
673
00:42:01.889 --> 00:42:04.710
their agenda. What's going on in California? It's on the
674
00:42:04.769 --> 00:42:06.769
cusp of being a failed state. They're running out of money.
