Thanks for listening to the time I'll review with Hugh Hewitt

0:33

podcast, bringing to you the best voices

0:35

on this stories and issues that matter.

0:37

Helping make it all possible is the generous partnership

0:40

with the Pepperdine graduate school of public

0:42

policy. Here's another piece I'll trust

0:44

you enjoy.

0:45

Mister president, it's a pleasure to have you back on

0:47

the show, sir. Good day.

0:49

Thank you very much, Chris. It's my honor.

0:51

Thank you.

0:52

Understand you'll be taking trip to East

0:54

Palestine. Why was that important to

0:56

you? Well, when I looked

0:58

at how badly they were being treated. You

1:00

see these tankers up in flames going

1:02

a hundred feet up in the air and and

1:05

you see people going to other countries

1:07

and nobody's around and FEMA didn't wanna

1:09

do anything. And they were gonna have to do

1:11

it themselves, and they weren't able to do that.

1:13

Obviously, this is a big

1:15

environmental disaster. And

1:17

nobody did it. And the good thing is once

1:19

I announced I was going, now everybody's on that

1:21

their team is there, they're throwing money at them.

1:23

So we're very happy with what we

1:26

did. It's wild. As soon as

1:28

I announced that I was going, which I'll be doing

1:30

tomorrow, but as soon as I announced I

1:32

was going, it was it was really an incredible

1:34

thing to that. But everybody And now you

1:36

have Democrats. Everybody's going

1:38

there with lots of money and lots of

1:40

help, but that's good. I was thinking of you

1:42

when I saw people like governor DeWine,

1:45

governor Shapiro, I think, I don't know

1:47

the EPA director. They were standing in someone's kitchen

1:49

drinking the tap water. And I thought to

1:51

myself, would you feel comfortable doing that given what

1:53

you've heard's going on there so far?

1:56

Well, it's really they're more of their obligation

1:58

because, frankly, they're the ones they have to get

2:01

they have to solve that problem. I would drink

2:03

it, I guess, if I had to. I would,

2:05

you know, I'm not in love with the idea

2:07

because I have no idea how badly event

2:10

was, who caused the event, etcetera,

2:12

etcetera. But I would be able to

2:14

do it. And, you know, you then you just

2:17

he's just sort of hope to drink it

2:19

and you hope. But it was a

2:20

mess. There's no question about it. Joe

2:22

Biden travels to Ukraine. The media

2:24

fawns talking about this great

2:27

secret mission. He was walking through

2:29

Ukraine with Vladimir Zelensky during

2:31

an and there was an air raid siren. And mister

2:33

president, I have to ask I'm not familiar

2:35

with presidential security. You're intimately familiar.

2:38

If an air raid siren went off while

2:40

you're walking through a key

2:43

Would that just be treated casually? I would

2:45

think you'd be sent to a secure place quickly

2:47

if that were for real?

2:49

Well, they said they were, in my opinion,

2:51

they said we're gonna set off a couple of sirens.

2:53

Don't worry about it. Look, everything with these people

2:56

is disinformation. And

2:58

and misinformation, there's a slight,

3:00

very slight difference as you understand. So

3:02

I'm sure they tell them, we're gonna set off a couple

3:04

of sirens. Make it sound

3:06

real bad. We're gonna set them off, and don't worry

3:08

about it. That's a could happen. You had to

3:10

understand that they were speaking to the Russians,

3:12

which also surprised me, prior

3:15

to the trip to say he's coming.

3:18

Do you know that? They actually was talking

3:20

to the Russians to say that Biden

3:23

is coming. So that was sort of I

3:25

didn't know that. I I do know that Putin

3:27

gave speech today too simultaneously.

3:30

And I would get your reaction to this. These are

3:32

quotes from his speech. He said, see what they

3:34

do with their own peoples that is a destruction of family,

3:36

cultural and national identity, perversion,

3:39

mockery of children, pedophilia declared the

3:41

norm. Look at the Holy Scriptures, The

3:43

family is a union of man and woman. The Anglican

3:46

Church considers the idea of a general mutant

3:48

gender neutral God. Forgive us Lord.

3:50

They know not what they do. Very interesting

3:54

choice of words from Vladimir Putin in his speech

3:56

today.

3:57

Well, they're using things that people have

3:59

been talking about when you look at all of

4:01

the horrible things that are happening

4:04

with our people

4:06

and what what they're imposing on children

4:08

and, you know, the enemy and

4:10

and not only boot he's not the only

4:12

one China is saying it all the time now.

4:14

So they're using all of this against us.

4:16

Things that we campaign against, they're

4:18

now using against our

4:20

country. And

4:23

Much of this stuff that you mentioned, it should

4:25

never be taking place. It's horrible. It's taking

4:27

place. And it's a it's a it's

4:29

terrible for for our country, but now

4:31

the enemy is starting to use that. And

4:34

say, don't complain about us when you're doing all

4:36

of these things.

4:37

You predicted mister president the

4:39

alliance between Russia and China. You you

4:41

said this was coming. Evidence seems to

4:43

suggest China's ready to or already

4:45

is. Arming and enabling and partnering

4:48

with Russia. What does that mean for us?

4:50

Well,

4:50

they've been doing it now for almost

4:52

two years. Would have never happened with

4:54

me. First of all, the war would have never happened with

4:56

me. Christopher ever. And

4:59

second of all, it would have been solved very quickly,

5:01

but it would never have happened I didn't want to

5:03

talk about something because it was not going to

5:05

happen. And it didn't happen for four

5:07

years. I think when Putin said

5:09

they messed that they made in

5:10

Ukraine, that horrible, must've been a think

5:13

they ever. When

5:14

he saw that, I really think that that was an

5:16

inspiration to him to go and do

5:18

what he is doing right now. And

5:20

You know, they're decimating that country. And

5:22

people are being killed at a much

5:24

higher level than anyone knows. It's

5:27

it's so sad to see it happening. It should have

5:29

never happened And it could be

5:31

solved in one day. If you had the right

5:33

negotiator, it could be solved in

5:35

one day. That thing could stop right

5:37

now. Sir, do we have I I'm because

5:39

I'm sincere. I I don't I guess I just don't

5:41

have a full grasp. Do we have interest

5:44

in Ukraine in stopping

5:46

Russia, or is that for others

5:48

besides us to deal with?

5:51

Well, it's very sad when I hear we're in

5:53

for about a hundred and twenty five billion

5:55

and Europe is for tiny fraction of that.

5:57

And, you know, it affects Europe a lot more than us.

5:59

And, frankly, they should put up

6:01

their share. I got them to do that

6:03

with NATO. They weren't paying intonado. Twenty

6:06

of the twenty eight countries weren't paying

6:08

a tornado, and and I got them to

6:10

pay. And that's where they have the money

6:12

to do this. But, no, it's very unfair

6:15

that we're paying the whole load. You know, where

6:18

everybody's affected, but they're affected more

6:20

than anybody, and they're not doing it. Germany's

6:22

doing very little. France is doing

6:24

very little. They're not doing anything, and

6:26

we're doing or they're not doing much, and

6:28

we're doing a tremendous amount that is just

6:30

not

6:31

fair, frankly.

6:33

Domestically, mister president, we're seeing a number

6:35

of factory explosions and fires.

6:39

III have no idea what it means,

6:41

but it does seem there have been quite a few.

6:43

Have you noticed that? And if

6:44

so, what does it mean to you, if anything? Well,

6:46

in power plants. If you notice --

6:49

Yeah. -- things are happening. I think you have a

6:51

very unhappy population.

6:54

You have people that

6:56

are being treated very unfairly and you have people

6:58

that aren't being treated at all. I mean, you look

7:00

at the crime wave with antifa

7:03

and you look at all of the things that are happening

7:05

with BLM and you look at what they do and

7:07

they go and kill people and nothing happens

7:09

and Antifa likewise and they

7:11

have they take over parts of Seattle

7:14

and nothing happens of these

7:18

terrible acts that they do and nothing

7:20

happens to them and bad things

7:22

happen to other people. It's just

7:24

not a fair just as That's all. That

7:26

takes care. I don't know that one thing has anything

7:28

to do with the

7:29

other. I don't know that, you know,

7:30

when you mentioned the the

7:32

type of event that's taking place, but

7:34

it seems to be different than it's been

7:36

in the past. Yeah.

7:39

It seems strange that we've not heard anything from

7:41

the FBI or the Biden administration, which

7:44

would seem to be a spate of factory

7:46

explosions and or

7:47

fires. Food production manufacturing seems

7:49

very strange. You don't want to hear

7:52

it. And but you

7:54

do hear them about other things and

7:56

a lot of those other things are not fair. I

7:58

know people are very upset about it, very angry

8:00

about it. Very, very angry. I had a great

8:03

event last night in Palm Beach, Florida.

8:05

We had thousands of people. We had thousands

8:07

that couldn't get in. But the

8:09

level of love

8:11

and, you know, for this country and

8:13

for what we stand for, you

8:15

know, we wanna have borders, we wanna People

8:18

are just pouring in. It's like an invasion.

8:20

They're pouring into our country. They're coming

8:22

out of prisons. They're coming out of mental

8:24

institutions. Asain asylum said,

8:26

they're they're literally bringing them just

8:29

allowing them to come into our country. It's

8:32

it's crazy what's going on and

8:34

that people do not wanna see it. The love

8:36

for our country is incredible. I think it's that,

8:39

like, I've never seen enthusiasm like I

8:41

see right. I've never seen that, Chris, not

8:43

to the extent that we have now. That's because

8:46

the other side is doing such

8:48

bad things. No voter

8:50

ID. Who wants no voter ID?

8:52

Even the Democrats voted eighty eight percent

8:55

in favor, but the leaders don't want it.

8:57

The you know what? There's only one reason you don't

8:59

want it because you wanna you

9:00

know, like Sure. And and

9:03

I do wanna ask you a mail in voting too. May I ask

9:05

you quickly about the Chinese spy balloon? I haven't had

9:07

the chance to catch up with you on that. No. Seven

9:09

days that flies over the continental United

9:11

States, seven days, mister president. How would

9:13

you have handled that?

9:15

Well, number one, it would have never happened if

9:17

I was president. Okay? A lot of this stuff

9:19

would have never happened. Inflation would

9:21

have never happened. We had the greatest

9:23

economy of inflation We

9:26

had no inflation. We had inexpensive energy.

9:28

We were gonna be energy dominant. We were already

9:31

independent with energy. But

9:33

I would have it would not have happened.

9:35

But if it was going to happen, certainly,

9:38

you would have taken it out long before it did all

9:40

of its work. It did all of its work, and then

9:42

they shoot it when it's finished. What's

9:45

that all of

9:45

that? Do you have any idea what that balloon was

9:47

collecting or any insights as to what they might

9:49

have been watching? We're looking

9:51

at? Well, it looked very substantial, but

9:53

they're flying over nuclear areas.

9:55

You know, you have a lot of different things

9:57

according to every

9:59

report that we've seen in the papers and

10:01

everything else that it was hovering. And,

10:05

you know, you say, how does that happen? But

10:07

why do you let it say up that, you know,

10:09

so long? And then they shoot down one that

10:11

looks like it came out of hobby shop. Right?

10:14

And they missed the first time and they got it the

10:16

second that that was a half a million dollars

10:18

apiece.
