WEBVTT - The U.S. Report | 24 October

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>This is the US Report with James Moroar.

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Good evening and welcome to the program. Here's what's coming

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 2>up tonight. The government shut down continues with a shock

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 2>and mission about who's responsible and why, plus Trump twenty

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight, a surprising prediction about a possible third term.

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes you heard that right, and the left loses it

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 2>over the White House's new ballroom because hey, they don't

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 2>have enough to be angry about already. But first, well,

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even sure I have words to describe what

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to show you here, but suffice it to

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 2>say it is the absolute wildest campaign attack had I

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.919
<v Speaker 2>have ever seen in all of my decades watching political

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>campaigns in an electoral race that is in some ways

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 2>the most defining and fascinating race in the US at

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 2>the moment. Now. The out of to show you is

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 2>AI generated, of course, and it is so unbelievably over

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 2>the top that barely twenty minutes after the campaign behind

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>it put it up on the Internet, they pulled it

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 2>back down. So fierce was the criticism over what they

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 2>put to air. And it was generated by the campaign

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>for Andrew Cuomo, the Democrat turned independent who is desperately

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:30.319
<v Speaker 2>hoping to keep the radical Democrat socialist Zoron mom Donnie

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 2>from becoming the next mayor of New York City in

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks. Now, I saw this ad and

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I thought, no way, this has to be a gop.

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Some edgy pranksters have come up with this and put

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 2>it out there on the Cuomo's behalf. But no, no,

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 2>I checked it out. It's got the official authorized by

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Cuomo tag at the end, and news reports have confirmed

0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 2>that the video was indeed a real deal product of

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the campaign. And because the Internet is forever well, I'm

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 2>going to be able now to bring you a bit

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 2>of this two minute long magnum opus of a campaign

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 2>attack ad, which may as well be called Criminals for Zoron.

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Here's a little bit of it.

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Zoron mom Donnie's opponents want you to believe he's an

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 3>inexperienced radical whose policies will make New York City more dangerous.

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>But what do his actual supporters think.

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 4>Mom Donnie isn't crazy.

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 5>He's just trying to even the play.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 6>In field, you know, give everyone a fair shot.

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 2>Sure, he said multiple times we need to defund.

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 4>The police, but that was just a metaphor, And yes

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 4>he did.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 7>Say crime is a social construct, but that was also

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 7>a metaphor.

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:46.399
<v Speaker 8>His main backer the democratic socialist ideas are common sense.

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:54.799
<v Speaker 6>Such as see criminalizing misdemeanors like shoplifting, trespassing, and drunk driving.

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know, right. I mean that's a bit chieven

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 2>for me, though, I have to say the bit where

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 2>he shoves a fist full of rice into his gob

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 2>is a nice touch, a call out to the cringeworthy

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>videos Mom Donnie does eating with his hands to emphasize

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 2>his ethnic authenticity. But let's take a little bit more

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 2>of the ad, shall we.

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 6>Mom Donnie is finally lowering jail sentences guilty, but Mom

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.679
<v Speaker 6>Donnie says, you're free to go.

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Woo who cares?

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 6>In Legalizing prostitution statistically leads to an increase for.

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.519
<v Speaker 3>Sex trafficking of women and young girls by seventy percent.

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 7>You can't have safety without equality.

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 6>For unlawful abiding citizens like us globalize the empty fudd.

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm a criminal, I'm a criminal. I'm a criminal.

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm a criminal.

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 4>Yep, I'm a criminal for so wrong.

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 9>Fizar, I'm mom Donnie. I didn't have a real job

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 9>until I was thirty, but sure, give you the keys

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 9>of the city.

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 2>What's the worst that can happen?

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 10>People?

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 11>For n.

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Wow, how good is that? I mean, there's a lot

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>to unpack here. And was the ad over the top?

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 9>Sure?

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.839
<v Speaker 2>Was it racist like some people say, I mean the

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.359
<v Speaker 2>Guardian said it was, go figure, But frankly you have

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 2>to admire the efforts of the producers to make sure

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>the criminal class was shall we say, plenty diverse. Was

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>it a sign of desperation on the part of the

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Cuobo camp, Well, no doubt, because all the betting markets

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 2>and the polls suggest Mom Donnie's gonna roop it in.

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 2>But was the ad inaccurate? Well? Look, if people are

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 2>mad at it, it's not because it's wrong, but because

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 2>it hits too close to home, Zorn. Mom Donnie is

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 2>the distilled essence of where young radical leftism is going

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 2>in America and where that force could take the wider

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Democrat party. Mam Donnie has said over and over and

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 2>over again that he wants to yes defund the police,

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 2>which is barely the worst of it. The other day,

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Mom Donnie himself, a Muslim, posed up with Imam Siraj

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Wahadge out of Brooklyn Mosque. Now normally nothing wrong with that,

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 2>except for oh yeah, wah. Hodge is a legendary supporter

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 2>of terrorism and was an unindicted co conspirator in the

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety three plot to blow up the World Trade Center.

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Yet again, as I say, all the polls suggest New

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Yorkers are eating this up. A combination of farn born

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 2>New Yorkers and Trump loathing locals seemed ready to push

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 2>him over the line, and at a recent debate, Mom

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Donnie was ready to punch that Trump button hard. Look.

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 9>Donald Trump ran on three promises. He ran on creating

0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 9>the single largest deportation force in American history, I'm going

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 9>after his political enemies, and he ran on lowering the

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 9>cost of living. If he wants to talk to me

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 9>about the third piece of that agenda, I will always

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 9>be ready and willing. But if he wants to talk

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.479
<v Speaker 9>about how to pursue the first and second piece of

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 9>that agenda at the expense of New Yorkers, I will

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 9>fight him every single step of the way.

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 2>And oh how they cheered. And you know what, I'm

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 2>starting to think about New York, what the hell with it?

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Let him have it? In fact, yeah, let's do this. Now.

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 2>This program is generally not in the business of making

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>formal political endorsements, but in this case, you know what,

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 2>we're going to make an exception. That's right, the US

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 2>report is endorsing Democrats, Socialist and Subway Gormond Zoron Mom

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Donnie for mayor of New York City because you know what,

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 2>this crypto Marxist who wants to destroy the city's tax

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 2>base and open government run grocery stores and everything else

0:06:55.560 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 2>is exactly precisely what New Yorkers and I once was

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 2>myself deserve. Look here's an example of what's going on here.

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 2>For years and years, African migrants had been selling knockoff handbags, trinkets,

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 2>and drugs at this open air market in Canal Street

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>in Lower Manhattan. This footage from Polego commentator Savannah Hernandez.

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 2>And some of them even would go so far as

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 2>to assault those who tried to film what was going on.

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>You'd think this was a blight. You'd think New Yorkers

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>would be grateful to the FEDS for cleaning up this.

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I I sore, but no. Guess what happened when ICE

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>agents moved in to raid the markets. The other day,

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Well guess what, anti ICE protesters swarmed the raid, swarmed

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 2>the officers and tried to block agents from arresting the illegals.

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 2>And guess what. They also had a few choice words

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 2>for the ICE officers charming, shrug this guy.

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 12>Anymore?

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Say yes, how much college debt are they paying off?

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Then later they held a protest. Of course, well guess

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 2>what Canal Street is now cleaned up? Look at that?

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 2>And according to Homeland Security, the none illegal aliens arrested

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 2>in the raid, some of them having violent rap sheets,

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:41.839
<v Speaker 2>including on charges including robbery, burglary, domestic violence, assaulting law enforcement, counterfeiting,

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 2>drug trafficking, drug possession, and forgery. Well they're all in jail.

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 2>So you know what, if New York's lefties think that

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 2>having some criminal migrants selling counterfeit goods adds vibrancy to

0:08:55.520 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 2>their urban miliu, I say good luck to them. Let

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 2>them have their mom Donnie, and let him turn the

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.960
<v Speaker 2>city into exactly what they dream of, because you know,

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 2>as the great H. L. Mancoln once said, democracy is

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 2>the theory that the common people know what they want

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 2>and deserve to get it good and hard. All right,

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 2>So much to get into tonight. So let's get stuck

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 2>right into it now with former White House Press Secretary

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Shawn Spicer. Sean, thanks for joining me. Big news just

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 2>broke a couple of hours ago. Here. Former Trump's strategist

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Steve Bannon has made an amazing claim here that Donald

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Trump will be president again after twenty twenty eight. Here's

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 2>what he had to say.

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 8>Well, he's going to get a third term, so Trump

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 8>twenty eight. Trump is going to be president in twenty eight,

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 8>and people just sorted to get accommodated with that.

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>So what about the twenty second Amendment?

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 8>There's many different alternatives. At the appropriate time will lay

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 8>out what the plan is. But there's a plan, and

0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.839
<v Speaker 8>President Trump will be the president in twenty eight.

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Now, Sean, I know we've all seen, you know, the

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 2>President go around trolling people with his Trump twenty twenty

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 2>eight hats. Do you think there's any real story behind this?

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.439
<v Speaker 13>So I gotta be honest with you. I had Steve

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.120
<v Speaker 13>on my show on Friday. I asked him the same question.

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 13>He gave the same answer. He believes that this is

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 13>going to happen. The details are what matter. Look, I

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 13>have a believe that it's got to go two ways. One,

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 13>there's not a legal avenue for it to happen. And secondly,

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 13>and most importantly, the president Trump would want to have

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 13>to do it. I think he is love being president,

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 13>which is what Steve is correct about, But I have

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 13>a hard time thinking that he really wants to go

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:47.240
<v Speaker 13>through this again.

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, Look, I think I think you're you're right

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 2>on that, and it is you know, he's going to

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 2>be an older gentleman by this point, and it does

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 2>a fairly wearying job here. So yeah, look, I'm with you.

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I think I think we have to sort of put

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 2>this one in the well maybe kind of camp.

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 13>But but but here's the thing, and the questioner asked

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 13>the same thing I did, which is just walk me

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 13>through the legal strategy. And when you tell somebody like,

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 13>you know, we don't want to get into it yet,

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 13>that that's telling right if you said that you believe

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 13>that the constitutional amendment is dubious or there's this legal strategy, okay,

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.839
<v Speaker 13>but when you're not willing to reveal it. Look, Steve

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 13>has been saying this very consistently. It's a smart guy.

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 13>So like on that front, I do always wonder if

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 13>he's got something up his sleeve. But I have not

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.199
<v Speaker 13>been able to find a constitutional lawyer that suggests that

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.960
<v Speaker 13>that's possible. It's not like he started half a term.

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 13>I know there's some people who who I mean, look,

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.680
<v Speaker 13>I believe that he got robbed in his first term

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 13>because of this whole false Russia hoax. That's neither here

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 13>nor there. You can't say, well, I get a do over.

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 13>So I again, until somebody I'm not a lawyer, but

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 13>but until somebody makes a case, a legal case to

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.199
<v Speaker 13>me that is compelling, I find it a little dubious.

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, look, I think this is one to watch. Let's

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.080
<v Speaker 2>put it in keep it into the sort of the

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 2>fairly dubious camp for now. But as you say, one

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 2>to watch here. Hey also wanted to ask you about

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.439
<v Speaker 2>this here too, though, because you're a former press secretary

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 2>at the White House and I want to get your

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:19.359
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on this savage takedown from Carolyn Levitt to her predecessor,

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Karine Jean Pierre, who is also I believe, out there

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.679
<v Speaker 2>touting in other books. Let's have a look at this. Well.

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 10>With all due respect to my predecessor, she is one

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.599
<v Speaker 10>of the main culprits of the greatest cover up and

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 10>scandal in American history. She took the podium every day

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 10>and lied to the press about the incompetence of her boss.

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 10>I'm very proud to work for the greatest president in history.

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 10>I know Karine unfortunately worked for the most incompetent president

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 10>in history. So I guess she has a reason to

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 10>be bitter. But being bitter will not sell you books.

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 2>And Sean Krein, Jean Pierre has been doing a great

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 2>job talking about this stuff because here she was being

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 2>interviewed about her cover up tactics when it came to

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 2>the decline of President Biden.

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 3>When we talk about the mental acuity, and again I

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 3>take this very very seriously. I never saw anyone who

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 3>wasn't there. I saw someone who was always engaged. I

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:15.599
<v Speaker 3>saw someone who understood policy, pushed us on the policy.

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Always there. Sean, what do you make of that?

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 13>Well, that's a lie. But you know the reason is

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 13>and and you know the marketplace, James, is what really

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 13>tells you whether or not people are buying it. I

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.959
<v Speaker 13>want to congratulate Cring John Pierre for cracking the top

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:39.959
<v Speaker 13>twenty five thousand in book sales in her first twenty

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 13>four hours. I'm not kidding when I say that most people.

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.680
<v Speaker 13>I remember when my first book debuted, I think I

0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.320
<v Speaker 13>was in the top, you know, fifteen books in the country.

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 13>She's in the top twenty five thousand. No one is

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.959
<v Speaker 13>buying the book, No one is buying the story. She

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 13>is in a very tough place. Look the worst part

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 13>about her She also claims she left the Democratic Party.

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 13>I don't think she's sort of an island right now

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.600
<v Speaker 13>trying to figure out if anybody will listen to her.

0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 13>I think I'm actually amazed that some of these news

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.439
<v Speaker 13>outlets have chosen to even have her on.

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, as a former press secretary, wouldn't it almost

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 2>be better for her if she wanted to get that publicity,

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>to come clean and say, look, this guy was a mess,

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 2>we all saw it.

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 13>Yeah. Look I the excerpts that I've seen of her

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 13>book right now, she's in a very weird spot because

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 13>she had to pick what saw who she was going

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 13>to try to get on her side. She attacks sort

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 13>of a lot of the Biden establishment, claiming that they

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 13>were going after her as a woman of color. Anita

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 13>Dunn is one of those sort of people that she

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 13>really points a finger at and she talks about or leave.

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 13>So I think she had to pick a side James

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 13>and was like, Okay, I'm going to make sure the

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 13>president knows I have his back because everybody else has

0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 13>thrown him under the bus, including Kamala Harris. So I'll

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 13>say that he did a good and just take pot

0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 13>shots at the senior staff. Look bottom line, like I said,

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.360
<v Speaker 13>the marketplace is showing that no one cares what she

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.920
<v Speaker 13>has to say, never mind believes her. I think it

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 13>was a cheap shot for her to really go after

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 13>Caroline and call her a deplorable, which is what she

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 13>was responding to in that clip that you play's She

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.320
<v Speaker 13>was a bad not just a bad she was probably

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 13>the worst preseecretory in history. She was unqualified for that

0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 13>position in every sense of the way. Jensaki lied about

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 13>her qualifications for it. That those guys should just walk away,

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 13>they should go get a teaching job at some liberal

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 13>university in America and tell war stories. But the reality

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 13>is too Here's the other dirty secret that no one

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 13>will ask her she talks about when she saw the president.

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.600
<v Speaker 13>I would challenge people to ask her a simple question,

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 13>how often did you ever ever interact with President Biden

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 13>during your tenure as presecretary, Because when I was pre

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 13>secretary for President Trump, I bet you before noon on

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 13>any given day, I interacted with him probably ten times.

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 13>I have a feeling that she didn't interact with him

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 13>ten times in a given week.

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I think that's right. That's what everybody, all

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.040
<v Speaker 2>the reports all said was that, you know, all the

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.800
<v Speaker 2>staffers were basically kept away from the president. But before

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll let you go, we got to talk a little

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 2>bit of serious news here with the government shutdown, which

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 2>is now officially the second longest in history. With this stalemate, Sean,

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 2>we've seen a whole bunch of fascinating things, including the

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 2>President announcing that a billionaire has offered to step in

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 2>and pay military salaries. Can the Democrats? Have the Democrats

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 2>painted themselves into a corner with this, because of course,

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's their votes that are stopping the government

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 2>from opening back up, not the Republicans one hundred percent.

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 13>And you know, look, in the past twenty four hour,

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 13>Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin offered up legislation that the

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:53.880
<v Speaker 13>Senate voted on that would pay active duty service members.

0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 13>And what we refer to as essential personnel, meaning the

0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:00.240
<v Speaker 13>folks that are being forced to work without pay. Those

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:05.119
<v Speaker 13>are your law enforcement folks, border patrol TSA agents, flight

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.159
<v Speaker 13>control tower type folks, those people who are working right

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 13>now without pay. Senator Johnson's bill would have said, if

0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.240
<v Speaker 13>we're forcing you to work, which the military is as well,

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:20.119
<v Speaker 13>then you get paid. Democrats all voted in lockstep to

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.679
<v Speaker 13>not pay them. I believe that this is an opportunity

0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 13>for Republicans to step up to the plate and really

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 13>paint them as the crazy nutjobs that they are, because

0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 13>the idea that and you hear terms from Democrats right

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.480
<v Speaker 13>now that said these are political stunts, right, I don't

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 13>understand how it's a political stunt to pay active duty

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 13>military members, border patrol TSA agents, air traffic controllers. That

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:48.120
<v Speaker 13>really shows you how little they care about these people that.

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 2>They purport to support and defend. Well indeed, I mean

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Democrats for unpaid labor. I kind of feel like I've

0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.720
<v Speaker 2>seen that before in the history books. Shawn Spicer, thank

0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 2>you so much for joining me as always on the

0:17:59.440 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 2>US Report.

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:01.879
<v Speaker 4>It's my pleasure.

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 13>Thank you for having me.

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Well. Thrilled to be joined now by editor at large

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 2>at the Wall Street Journal and great friend of this show,

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Gerard Baker. Gerard, thanks for joining me here. I want

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 2>to start out here by talking about the media in

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 2>the US right now, and specifically what is going on

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:21.679
<v Speaker 2>at CBS now. They've recently brought in Barry Weiss to

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 2>run their news division, but The New York Post has

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 2>just reported that she now has to have a suite

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 2>of bodyguards traveling with her now, because apparently free speech

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 2>in America is such that if you question the leftist

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 2>narrative or upset it all, you could wind up being

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.159
<v Speaker 2>in some sort of physical harm. And it brings me

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 2>to a great piece you've got in the Wall Street

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Journal this week, where you talk about the broader problem

0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:50.120
<v Speaker 2>with the media and the sheer horizontal and vertical reach

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.920
<v Speaker 2>of the progressive mindset in newsrooms, the entrenched nature of

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:59.399
<v Speaker 2>their ideological skew will militate against a successful resetting of

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 2>their co How big a challenge, and I think that

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.919
<v Speaker 2>subs it up. But how big a challenge is Barry

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.679
<v Speaker 2>Wise and anybody else who wants to see fairness in

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.159
<v Speaker 2>the American media up against?

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, good to see you again, James, Look, I thank

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 1>you very much referencing the column is the problem with

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the American media, and I think it's very much the

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:21.680
<v Speaker 1>same in Australia. I know it's the same in the UK.

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Two is not something that can be fixed by just

0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.720
<v Speaker 1>changing the people at the top, by just ordering, you know,

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 1>someone even with great power and great talent, as Barry

0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Weiss I must say, has just ordering people to do

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.959
<v Speaker 1>journalism differently. It doesn't work like that. These institutions are

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 1>absolutely crawling with people of a particular progressive liberal mindset.

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 1>They go into journalism for that reason. They go into

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.800
<v Speaker 1>journalism because they kind of lean in that direction. They

0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.400
<v Speaker 1>take over, or rather they're recruited into these large media

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.159
<v Speaker 1>organizations where they basically all agree with each other on

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:58.359
<v Speaker 1>all the important issues of the day. That's an entrenched

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:02.320
<v Speaker 1>situation in pretty well every major user. There are some exceptions,

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and indeed the only way, you know, the only way

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you get an exception is by actively repopulating a news

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.960
<v Speaker 1>organization so that it does move in a different direction.

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise the natural direction of these places is to go

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.679
<v Speaker 1>like that. So again, while I applaud what's going on

0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:20.359
<v Speaker 1>in the American media, we've seen it with as you said,

0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Barry Weise taking over at CBS. Jeff Bezos is trying

0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.400
<v Speaker 1>to make some important changes to the Washington Post. There

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.200
<v Speaker 1>are some other indications that maybe other news organizations have

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 1>finally woken up with the sort of woke progressive crowd

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.399
<v Speaker 1>and just how damaging it is. They've got an incredible

0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:37.680
<v Speaker 1>task ahead of them, because it's not just many enough,

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>as I say, to change the person at the top.

0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.680
<v Speaker 1>They've got to change the people, They've got to change

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the culture. It's really it's a social problem as much

0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.440
<v Speaker 1>as anything. James and I just don't see these institutions

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 1>changing very quickly, very soon.

0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, we have the Australian Broadcast in corporation here,

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.159
<v Speaker 2>which is like the BBC, and it's often called like

0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a staff run collective and when we put conservatives onto

0:20:59.960 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 2>the board that it makes very little difference. And I'm

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.920
<v Speaker 2>wondering how much of this is really you know, as

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:07.679
<v Speaker 2>you say cultural, does this need to actually be a

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:11.360
<v Speaker 2>whole of society effort that universities need to start, you know,

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.200
<v Speaker 2>being more diverse in their ideological outlook because I think

0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 2>what about ninety five percent probably of professors and most

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:18.760
<v Speaker 2>disciplines vote Democrat.

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Now right, Yeah, it's got worse over the last twenty

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:24.880
<v Speaker 1>thirty years. Exactly right, James, And the numbers we've seen

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:29.640
<v Speaker 1>actually are precisely in line with what you mentioned. Yes,

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 1>it does require a much broader social change. I also

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 1>wonder a little bit. Look, I think there is some

0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:37.400
<v Speaker 1>there is a kind of natural selection, if I may

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:39.800
<v Speaker 1>sort of misuse that Darwini internal a little bit that

0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 1>goes on because I think people who are people who

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.120
<v Speaker 1>are sort of concerned pe people who want to make money,

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:48.119
<v Speaker 1>people want to go into business, People who are entrepreneurs

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:50.800
<v Speaker 1>who believe in free markets because they're going to thrive

0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:53.680
<v Speaker 1>in free markets. They tend to be They tend to

0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:55.880
<v Speaker 1>be conservative. They tend to go and do that very thing.

0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 1>They tend to go and be entrepreneurs, make money, go

0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:00.040
<v Speaker 1>into business and do world for themselves. You know, I

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.199
<v Speaker 1>speak very much, very self aware here as I say this,

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 1>People who maybe don't want to do that, don't have

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 1>that interest. And actually, you know, I'm more interested in

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:14.639
<v Speaker 1>if you like criticizing and analyzing and commenting. They tend

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:16.720
<v Speaker 1>more to be on the left. They're not they don't

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:19.400
<v Speaker 1>have the wherewith all the talent, the interests, the initiative

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:22.440
<v Speaker 1>to go into business, and they don't tend to be

0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:25.359
<v Speaker 1>conservative and they end up running, you know, working for

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the ABC or the BBC or pretty well every major

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:32.200
<v Speaker 1>media organization here in the US. So it is things

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:34.919
<v Speaker 1>can change. Certainly, you're right about universities. But I do

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 1>also think there probably just is a again an almost

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:42.280
<v Speaker 1>natural process by which people you know, he was the

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 1>old phrase and we had in England, he who can

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.720
<v Speaker 1>does he who cannot teach? As well? You know the phrase,

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, he who can does he who cannot? Reports

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 1>on it?

0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, yes, indeed, indeed, Hey, you're in New York City

0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 2>right now, and I want to just talk and just

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:00.639
<v Speaker 2>indulge me on this for a while, because I've been

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 2>absolutely fascinated by the zoron Mam Dami campaign here and

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.880
<v Speaker 2>the atmospherics that are there. Just tell us a little

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.440
<v Speaker 2>bit about what it's like there. Because I spoke earlier

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:13.880
<v Speaker 2>in the program about this Canal Street clean up. Canal

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Street has that huge sort of open air market of

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, fake handbags and all that sort of thing.

0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:21.639
<v Speaker 2>New Yorkers, at least some seem to be very annoyed

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 2>that the Fed's cleaned that up. What is happening on

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:27.640
<v Speaker 2>the streets. What's happening in New York that you know,

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 2>there's this great sort of engine of capitalism has become

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:35.239
<v Speaker 2>enthralled to this democrat socialist.

0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Now you're not changing the times you've been in. New

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:39.320
<v Speaker 1>York City is a mess. It's still a great city,

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, reasonable claims to be one of the greatest

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:43.280
<v Speaker 1>cities in the world, if not the greatest.

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 7>City in the world.

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:47.040
<v Speaker 1>It has incredible, you know, arts and entertainment, it has

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 1>tremendous economic dynamism, still the sort of financial capital of

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the world. There's all those things going for it. But

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a mess. The city is a mess. A number

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.959
<v Speaker 1>of homeless people is shocking. The crime well, not as

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:00.879
<v Speaker 1>bad as it was back in nineteen nineties and I

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:06.120
<v Speaker 1>remember that period. Well, it's still bad. The streets are

0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:10.440
<v Speaker 1>filled with rats and the sort of sweet, pungent smell

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.880
<v Speaker 1>of urine pretty well everywhere there is and if it's

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 1>not urine, it's weed. And as you say, there's crime,

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:20.680
<v Speaker 1>there's tremendous number of illegal immigrants which previous administrations have

0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 1>allowed in to the country and housed in hotels at

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>great expense. It is a mess. It's an enormous mess.

0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:28.400
<v Speaker 1>And I think one of the you know, whether it's

0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Ice doing what they were doing, and as you say,

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 1>remember what you have here is a population that like

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>that has essentially luxury beliefs, right, these are most for

0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the most part, the people who object to ICE doing

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 1>their job or law enforcement doing his job generally are

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 1>people who are not really affected by crime or homelessness

0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 1>or the sheer unpleasantness the streets. They drive around, they're

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:53.399
<v Speaker 1>driven around in limousines or you know, they live in

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 1>parts of town where they never have to see these things,

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and they're happy to, of course, continue to vote for

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, liberal leaders like this guy Mamdani that the

0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:04.119
<v Speaker 1>socialist leader were going to get like this guy at

0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Mamdani that were Almos certainly going to get elected in

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks. And they don't have to because

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't actually see the problems. And I think that's

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:14.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's that's the peril with so many of

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 1>these cities, like New York, London, where I've just been

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:19.359
<v Speaker 1>in London. London is much the same. You know, there

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 1>are many urban problems, but they have a kind of

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:27.119
<v Speaker 1>political culture whereby those people again who don't really have

0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 1>to face those urban problems are kind of, you know,

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:33.679
<v Speaker 1>happy to inflict continue to inflict them on the people

0:25:33.960 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 1>who do have to deal with them by continuing to

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 1>vote in left wing political leaders.

0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, Look, I lived there in the nineteen nineties myself.

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:42.359
<v Speaker 2>I remember how bad it was and how good it

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:46.719
<v Speaker 2>was when Rudi Giuliani finally started to clean up the mess. Hey, finally,

0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I just want to talk about a bit of foreign

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:50.760
<v Speaker 2>policy here with you too. And I thought this was

0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:53.680
<v Speaker 2>very interesting, this intervention that Vice President j. D. Vass

0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:57.800
<v Speaker 2>made into a vote in Israel's Kanesset where they were

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:02.240
<v Speaker 2>talking about nexing the West Bank. Here's a little bit

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:03.000
<v Speaker 2>of JD vance.

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:05.920
<v Speaker 6>That's when I asked about it. Somebody told me that

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 6>it was a political stunt, that it had no practical significance,

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:11.920
<v Speaker 6>it was purely symbolic. I mean, look, if it was

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:14.879
<v Speaker 6>a political stunt, it was a very stupid political stunt,

0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 6>and I personally take some insult to it. The West

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:20.239
<v Speaker 6>Bank is not going to be anexed by Israel. The

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 6>policy of the Trump administration is that the West Bank

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:25.399
<v Speaker 6>will not be nx by Israel. That will continue to

0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 6>be our policy and if people want to take symbolic votes,

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 6>they can do that, but we certainly weren't happy about it.

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:35.239
<v Speaker 2>Just quickly here, does this show that there's a bit

0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 2>of impatience with Israel on their side of the peace

0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 2>deal and the ceasefire?

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there is a little bit. I mean, we've seen

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.840
<v Speaker 1>this with Trump. Trump was very unhappy with Natthagna who's

0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:50.679
<v Speaker 1>attack on Doham Kata but failed attempt to kill how

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 1>much leaders there a few weeks ago that I think

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 1>accelerated the peace process and certainly pushed Trump towards are

0:26:56.640 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>getting more actively involved and getting that done. He doesn't

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 1>like this talk at this to be fair, is these

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:06.199
<v Speaker 1>sort of religious parties in Israel, you know, who can

0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:08.359
<v Speaker 1>claim that the West Bank is jude and Samaria and

0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:11.640
<v Speaker 1>they want to reclaim it for Jews and for Israel,

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and as Vance says, that's not going to happen. There

0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:16.600
<v Speaker 1>is impatience, but at the same time, there's also an

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:20.040
<v Speaker 1>awareness here that, look, the Israelis did agree to that

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:24.040
<v Speaker 1>cease fire. What you're seeing is violence, continued violence carrying

0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:29.359
<v Speaker 1>on in Gaza, Palestine led by Hamas, and so there's

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's there's continuing support for Israel. There's no

0:27:32.640 --> 0:27:34.200
<v Speaker 1>question I think Donald Trump is one of it. Is

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:37.680
<v Speaker 1>probably the most pro Israel leader that the United States

0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:40.239
<v Speaker 1>has had for at least fifty years. So there's no

0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 1>question that there is that support there. But at the

0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:45.639
<v Speaker 1>same time, they don't want to see what jade Evan's

0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>rightly calls stunts like this which could damage the peace process. Look,

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:51.679
<v Speaker 1>above all else, Trump wants there to be peace. He

0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 1>wants the fighting to end, you know, another notch on

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 1>his belt in the campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize. Absolutely,

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:01.480
<v Speaker 1>and anything that makes that more, anything that something more difficult, he's.

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:01.919
<v Speaker 4>Going to oppose.

0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, right, Jard Baker, thank you so much for your time,

0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.680
<v Speaker 2>as always, love your stuff in the Wall Street Journal.

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Now stick around because in a moment, Brandon Lyman is

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:14.000
<v Speaker 2>going to join me to talk more about the latest

0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 2>debate between Mom Donnie and Andrew Cuomo. You're not going

0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 2>to want to miss those fireworks. But before we hit

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:24.520
<v Speaker 2>a break, check this out. Remember those No King's protests

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:27.720
<v Speaker 2>last week, Well, this guy just decided to have a

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 2>little fun with them by driving up to one in

0:28:30.800 --> 0:28:34.159
<v Speaker 2>a giant cyber truck with a speaker in the back

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 2>playing Donald Trump's twenty twenty four victory speech for all

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:46.320
<v Speaker 2>the No King's protesters to enjoy and grandly.

0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:51.200
<v Speaker 11>This is, I believe the greatest possible political movements of

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 11>all time.

0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 13>There's ever been anything like this in this time.

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:55.160
<v Speaker 9>And maybe be hon.

0:28:57.560 --> 0:29:00.520
<v Speaker 11>And now it's going to read a new level of important.

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:05.440
<v Speaker 11>It is because we're going to help our country here,

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 11>help our country here.

0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, look at all those very normal protesters out there.

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 2>They seem thrilled with it. No accounting for taste. Brianna

0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Liman after the break, Welcome back to the program. Well,

0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm thrilled to be joined now by the Federalists Elections

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 2>correspondent Brianna Liman. Brianna, thank you so much for joining

0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 2>me here on the US Report tonight. And I want

0:29:30.920 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 2>to talk about, first of all, what I think is

0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 2>one of the most important stories in American politics right now.

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:39.640
<v Speaker 2>That is the New York City mayoral race. And it

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:44.200
<v Speaker 2>got very fiery in a debate between the Democrat turned

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 2>independent Andrew Cuomo, the Democrat socialist front runner Zoron mam Dami,

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:53.400
<v Speaker 2>and the Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa at a debate the

0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 2>other night. Have a little Look, here's a bit of

0:29:56.080 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 2>a sample of that.

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 9>We desperately need to build more how in the city,

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 9>and I also know that the jobs we create in

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 9>the building of that housing should be good jobs as well.

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:09.120
<v Speaker 11>Answer, what is your opinion?

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Come on, yes, Born, what is your opinion?

0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 8>Yes?

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.240
<v Speaker 2>No, so true? Thank you?

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 12>Apologies.

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 14>Yet here they're pointing out what I was about the question.

0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:25.880
<v Speaker 9>I think on the stage you can see two people

0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 9>appealing for the Republican parties.

0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Do it, And as a New Yorker, I love how

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 2>fiery it got there. But Brianna, is anything that's going

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 2>to happen in this race change the outcome, which is

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:41.239
<v Speaker 2>going to be this democrat, socialist hard leftist is going

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:43.960
<v Speaker 2>to wind up taking over arguably the most important city

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:44.480
<v Speaker 2>in America.

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:48.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Unfortunately, the only thing that could be a possible

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 7>saving Greece. And I mean this is still a long shot.

0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 7>It's for Curtis Lee want to drop out that voters

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:57.200
<v Speaker 7>can call us around Andrew Cuomo. The New York Post

0:30:57.200 --> 0:30:59.320
<v Speaker 7>had a recent poll come out. It showed that if

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 7>it's a two way race, Andrew Cuomo trels by like

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:05.280
<v Speaker 7>somewhere between like five to six percent behind Mom Donnie.

0:31:05.320 --> 0:31:08.320
<v Speaker 7>But what was interesting about that poll is seventy eight

0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:11.720
<v Speaker 7>percent of undecided voters are fifty five or older. There

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:13.800
<v Speaker 7>is a really good chance and if you're fifty five

0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 7>or older, you're not voting for socialists like Mom, Donnie,

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:19.480
<v Speaker 7>you are voting for Andrew Cuomo. And if we make

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 7>it a binary choice, I do think it gives Cuomo

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:26.320
<v Speaker 7>that extra edge that could possibly deliver him a slim victory.

0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 7>But as things stand now, we're going to have a

0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:29.560
<v Speaker 7>socialist mayor.

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 2>It seems absolutely shocking to be But what also shocked me,

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:36.600
<v Speaker 2>and I spoke about this earlier in the program, is

0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the way that Mom Dalli has used anti Trump sentiment

0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 2>in New York to Leaveridge himself into this position. Here

0:31:44.240 --> 0:31:47.880
<v Speaker 2>there was this cleanup of all of the vendors, illegal aliens,

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 2>illegal migransom Africa on Canal Street, and New Yorkers didn't say, oh,

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:56.200
<v Speaker 2>thank you federal government for cleaning up this. Iyesare that

0:31:56.240 --> 0:31:59.040
<v Speaker 2>the New York police left there for years. No, they

0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:02.360
<v Speaker 2>went out in protest. I mean, do New Yorkers just

0:32:02.520 --> 0:32:05.360
<v Speaker 2>get what they deserve at this point? Oh?

0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely? And I mean this ties into the national conversation.

0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 7>We're having over here, which is Democrats are the party

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:14.600
<v Speaker 7>that stands against the rule of law. ICE agents are

0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 7>enforcing long standing federal immigration law. If Democrats don't like

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 7>the law, that means they don't like sovereignty. But if

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 7>they don't like the law, they should try to win

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 7>a big enough majority to change the law. But until then,

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:31.600
<v Speaker 7>ICE is enforcing long standing federal immigration law. And polling

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:35.200
<v Speaker 7>indicates Americans want illegal aliens out, whether they are violent

0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 7>or not. We want them gone. And the fact that

0:32:37.680 --> 0:32:39.640
<v Speaker 7>some of these aliens have been here for years, some

0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 7>of them had previous removal orders just goes to show

0:32:42.560 --> 0:32:45.400
<v Speaker 7>you how Democrats in particular have turned a blind eye

0:32:45.480 --> 0:32:47.720
<v Speaker 7>to the biggest crisis facing America right now.

0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:52.120
<v Speaker 2>And you know, just on that whole idea of enforcing

0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:54.240
<v Speaker 2>the law, it seems like the Democrats have a real

0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:58.320
<v Speaker 2>selective enforcement problem here too, because you know, they're the

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:02.760
<v Speaker 2>first people to regulate our lives, law abiding citizens' lives,

0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:05.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, regulate how we use our energy, regulate this

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:08.400
<v Speaker 2>our businesses and everything like that like that. The phrase

0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:11.840
<v Speaker 2>anarcho tyranny is something that we hear sometimes, and it

0:33:11.880 --> 0:33:14.320
<v Speaker 2>seems like this is what we saw in California, and

0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 2>this is what's coming to New York. And this is

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 2>going to be what whoever the Republican nominee in twenty

0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 2>eight is going to have to run against because they'll say,

0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 2>don't do this to the rest of America.

0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, and I.

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:29.960
<v Speaker 7>Think, you know California, look to Portland for example, what

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:33.800
<v Speaker 7>the anarcho tyranny we're seeing there. And Democrats have decided

0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 7>to make that as though that is a peaceful protest,

0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 7>They're trying to turn it into a First Amendment argument.

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:41.959
<v Speaker 7>But Americans voted for President Trump for many reasons, but

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.600
<v Speaker 7>one of the big ones was law and order. Nobody

0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:46.760
<v Speaker 7>wants to see a repeat of twenty twenty with the

0:33:46.960 --> 0:33:49.960
<v Speaker 7>riots right the summer of love that we had, and

0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 7>the fact that Docrats are not willing to listen to

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:56.920
<v Speaker 7>the entire country which shifted right in November, and instead

0:33:57.000 --> 0:33:59.560
<v Speaker 7>try to double down that these are peaceful protests, that

0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:02.280
<v Speaker 7>we can enforce the law because they're fighting the good fight.

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 7>It's going to turn away voters come twenty twenty six

0:34:05.480 --> 0:34:06.400
<v Speaker 7>and twenty twenty eight.

0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, I think that's right. And another thing that

0:34:09.200 --> 0:34:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I think voters are going to get pretty sick of too,

0:34:11.320 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 2>is this government shutdown which is continuing here. And there

0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:19.560
<v Speaker 2>was an amazing admission from Democrat House Whip Catherine Clark

0:34:20.160 --> 0:34:25.280
<v Speaker 2>talking about how struggling families are actually now political leverage

0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:27.200
<v Speaker 2>in the negotiations. How will listen to this?

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:32.719
<v Speaker 12>I mean, shutdowns are terrible, and of course there will

0:34:32.760 --> 0:34:36.440
<v Speaker 12>be you know, families that are going to suffer. We

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:41.200
<v Speaker 12>take that responsibility very seriously, but it is one of

0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:43.719
<v Speaker 12>the few leverage times we have.

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:48.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean talking about beatings will continue until morale improves. Here.

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:52.319
<v Speaker 2>This idea that you just use struggling families to make

0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:55.800
<v Speaker 2>a political point, this must be backfiring on them, surely.

0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:58.719
<v Speaker 7>Well, I think it's easy for her to say that

0:34:58.800 --> 0:35:01.560
<v Speaker 7>when her paychecks still keeps coming. Notice she has and

0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 7>said she's not going to take it anything like that. Surprisingly,

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:08.080
<v Speaker 7>Democrats haven't faced nearly as much pushback as they should.

0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:10.920
<v Speaker 7>And I think it's part and parcel because the propaganda

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:14.399
<v Speaker 7>press is doing their bidding. The Democratic media is trying

0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:16.680
<v Speaker 7>to make this as though it is a Republican shutdown.

0:35:16.880 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 7>I don't think voters are necessarily buying into that, especially

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 7>when you have people like Senator John Fetterman and Democrat

0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:25.799
<v Speaker 7>from Pennsylvania calling out his own party for holding Americans

0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:28.880
<v Speaker 7>and families hostage. But so the reason that I think

0:35:28.920 --> 0:35:31.160
<v Speaker 7>it's going to keep going is until there is enough

0:35:31.440 --> 0:35:35.360
<v Speaker 7>public and media pressure on Democrats to open the government

0:35:35.360 --> 0:35:37.840
<v Speaker 7>with a clean cr they're going to dig their heels

0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:40.320
<v Speaker 7>and they're going to keep using American families as hostages

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 7>and political pawns, all because they want to give illegal

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:44.280
<v Speaker 7>aliens fore healthcare.

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:47.880
<v Speaker 2>And this is just something to bring our Australian viewers

0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:51.200
<v Speaker 2>up to speed on to pass that vote, to pass

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:54.719
<v Speaker 2>that continuing resolution to keep the government funded, they need

0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 2>sixty votes, not a majority of fifty one to make

0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:00.960
<v Speaker 2>that happen. So that's why the Democrats can still hold

0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:04.160
<v Speaker 2>the government to hostage on this here. But finally, before

0:36:04.200 --> 0:36:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I let you go, we talk a lot about political

0:36:07.000 --> 0:36:10.000
<v Speaker 2>violence on this show and the threat of it coming

0:36:10.040 --> 0:36:13.040
<v Speaker 2>particularly from the left. Will turns out, Republican Senator Eric

0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Schmidt has maybe heard this call because he's going to

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:19.399
<v Speaker 2>be sharing a hearing next week on this threat. Here's

0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:21.120
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of what he had to say on

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 2>the matter.

0:36:22.719 --> 0:36:23.880
<v Speaker 15>And so we're going to have a hearing on it.

0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:26.000
<v Speaker 15>We're going to have Michael Miles come testify who was

0:36:26.040 --> 0:36:29.840
<v Speaker 15>a victim of a firebombing himself, of what's really behind

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:32.560
<v Speaker 15>all this and what are the strategies moving forward. We

0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:34.680
<v Speaker 15>need to go at this thing and be aggressive, not

0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:36.759
<v Speaker 15>just play defense, but play offense, because this is a

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:39.680
<v Speaker 15>real threat to our country and the fabric of our

0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:40.760
<v Speaker 15>constitutional republic.

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Brianna, what are we expecting to get out of this?

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Will we find out that there are big money donors,

0:36:47.000 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 2>including some that might be quite familiar to our viewers,

0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:53.480
<v Speaker 2>behind some of these groups that are funding so much

0:36:53.480 --> 0:36:55.080
<v Speaker 2>of the mayhem in American streets.

0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:57.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think the purpose of this hearing is going

0:36:57.520 --> 0:37:01.320
<v Speaker 7>to be to thread that needle, particularly of George Soros,

0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:05.359
<v Speaker 7>someone who donates millions of dollars to organizations like Indivisible,

0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:09.759
<v Speaker 7>which was behind the No Kings protests, other organizations that

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:13.040
<v Speaker 7>have really propped up these protests that also happened to

0:37:13.160 --> 0:37:16.759
<v Speaker 7>turn violent. And this is an opportunity right now, Republicans

0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:18.799
<v Speaker 7>have one year in case we end up losing the House,

0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:21.680
<v Speaker 7>they have one year to get and come to terms

0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:24.319
<v Speaker 7>with who was funding these protests. Right people show up

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:25.960
<v Speaker 7>with the signs, they all look the same. You're telling

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:28.240
<v Speaker 7>me a thousand people got together and made the same signs.

0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:30.720
<v Speaker 7>Of course, not right. There's so many backing these fundings.

0:37:30.760 --> 0:37:33.279
<v Speaker 7>If you're backing a peaceful protest, fine, but these never

0:37:33.360 --> 0:37:35.239
<v Speaker 7>turn out to be peaceful in the most part. And

0:37:35.280 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 7>we know that political violence in America is coming from

0:37:37.680 --> 0:37:39.759
<v Speaker 7>the left to the right. We have to figure out

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.200
<v Speaker 7>is that organized? Is this part of a larger plan?

0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Brianna, You're absolutely right. I think there's a lot more

0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to it, and I'm looking to find out what looking

0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:50.399
<v Speaker 2>forward to finding out what that is. Brand A Laman,

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:52.480
<v Speaker 2>thank you so much for joining me tonight. Check out

0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:55.040
<v Speaker 2>her stuff at the Federalist. Now stick around because in

0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:57.839
<v Speaker 2>a moment, great friend of the show, John fund will

0:37:57.880 --> 0:38:01.719
<v Speaker 2>be joining me. But first seen by now the pictures

0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:07.040
<v Speaker 2>of Barack Obama's planned presidential library in Chicago. There it is.

0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, no, no, wait, sorry, that's a North Korean

0:38:09.880 --> 0:38:13.360
<v Speaker 2>guard tower. Let's try again. Here we go. Oh no, no, sorry,

0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 2>that's the Death Star under construction. One more try. Oh

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:19.680
<v Speaker 2>there it is. Yes, I knew we'd get there eventually,

0:38:20.360 --> 0:38:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and I know it looks like something that was constructed

0:38:23.360 --> 0:38:28.080
<v Speaker 2>in a remote Soviet Republican about nineteen seventy two. But anyway,

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 2>You'll never guess who else thinks it's ugly. Yep, you

0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:31.480
<v Speaker 2>got it.

0:38:32.400 --> 0:38:33.799
<v Speaker 13>You're building your ballroom right now.

0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:36.759
<v Speaker 9>They're also building the Obama Presidential Library.

0:38:36.960 --> 0:38:39.239
<v Speaker 7>I'm wondering if you can see have you seen the

0:38:39.280 --> 0:38:41.920
<v Speaker 7>issures of the architecture, And yeah, it's not.

0:38:42.080 --> 0:38:46.280
<v Speaker 11>Too pretty, but it's.

0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Drumst it stopped.

0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:51.400
<v Speaker 11>They ran out of money. Means building a library slash museum.

0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:55.160
<v Speaker 11>You know you call some museums and usually they they

0:38:55.239 --> 0:38:56.880
<v Speaker 11>call it library and museum.

0:38:56.960 --> 0:38:58.000
<v Speaker 9>That's the official name.

0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:03.880
<v Speaker 11>And this up and he wanted only women and DEEI

0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:04.480
<v Speaker 11>to build it.

0:39:04.680 --> 0:39:06.919
<v Speaker 13>You have that's what they got.

0:39:08.200 --> 0:39:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Also, did I mention it's ugly? Yeah, really ugly. Anyway,

0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:15.160
<v Speaker 2>stick around because John Fund is with me after the break,

0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:21.479
<v Speaker 2>welcome back to the program. Well, it's always a great

0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:26.120
<v Speaker 2>privilege to bring in my next guest, political journalist, John Fund. John,

0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:28.040
<v Speaker 2>thanks so much for joining me on the US sport

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:30.839
<v Speaker 2>And I want to start out here with the US

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the hardest working man in

0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:37.200
<v Speaker 2>show business, who had this great response as it was

0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:41.240
<v Speaker 2>revealed that the US allegedly struck the eighth drug carrying

0:39:41.320 --> 0:39:45.440
<v Speaker 2>boat in its interdiction efforts this time in the Pacific Ocean.

0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:47.719
<v Speaker 4>These are drug votes.

0:39:48.120 --> 0:39:49.960
<v Speaker 8>If people want to stop seeing drug boats blow up,

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:55.760
<v Speaker 8>stop sending drugs to the United States.

0:39:53.560 --> 0:39:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Not a bad response. Tell us about this effort to

0:39:56.680 --> 0:39:59.280
<v Speaker 2>take out these drug voats, because Donald Trump has also said,

0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:01.799
<v Speaker 2>you know you're smuggling drugs and that are going to

0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:04.160
<v Speaker 2>kill Americans, We're going to kill you. How is this

0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:04.880
<v Speaker 2>being received.

0:40:06.440 --> 0:40:09.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, those who practice international law, of course, are appalled.

0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:13.960
<v Speaker 4>On the other hand, international law has some weaknesses. It

0:40:14.000 --> 0:40:18.080
<v Speaker 4>doesn't really apply very well to a terrorist organization that

0:40:18.200 --> 0:40:21.520
<v Speaker 4>is trying to subvert the society of another country, and

0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:25.480
<v Speaker 4>that's what Venezuelan drug shipments are all about. So this

0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:28.560
<v Speaker 4>is a gray area. And what the President has decided

0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 4>to do is to say, look, we get no cooperation

0:40:32.520 --> 0:40:35.359
<v Speaker 4>from the Venezuelans. They're not interdicting their own shipments. In fact,

0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:38.080
<v Speaker 4>that Venezuelan military is probably in charge of shipping this

0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:41.920
<v Speaker 4>stuff over and therefore we're going to take targeted measures

0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:44.960
<v Speaker 4>to make sure that the cartels that are sending these

0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:48.000
<v Speaker 4>drugs in get the message as to how dangerous this

0:40:48.080 --> 0:40:48.839
<v Speaker 4>procedure is.

0:40:49.840 --> 0:40:54.239
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely right. It's a lot different to being potentially interdicted

0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:56.120
<v Speaker 2>by the cops and put through the courts and all

0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:58.720
<v Speaker 2>of that. But let's go from one sec of state

0:40:58.760 --> 0:41:02.239
<v Speaker 2>to another, Hillary Clinton, who has weighed in on this

0:41:02.280 --> 0:41:06.400
<v Speaker 2>apparently quite controversial project to construct a ballroom on the

0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:09.320
<v Speaker 2>site of the East Wing of the White House, writing

0:41:09.360 --> 0:41:12.239
<v Speaker 2>on X it's not his house, it's your house, and

0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:17.640
<v Speaker 2>he's destroying it. John. Doesn't Hillary Clinton know how many

0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:21.279
<v Speaker 2>other presidents have done renovations to the White House and

0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 2>she would have been at quite a few events where

0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:26.319
<v Speaker 2>they had to set up tents and so on on

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:29.640
<v Speaker 2>the lawn because they don't have a dedicated events space

0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:32.080
<v Speaker 2>at the White House. Can you weigh in on this

0:41:32.160 --> 0:41:33.080
<v Speaker 2>controversy for me?

0:41:34.360 --> 0:41:37.319
<v Speaker 4>Well, I personally know how much Hillary Clinton loved the

0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:40.120
<v Speaker 4>White House when she lived there because when she left,

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:42.319
<v Speaker 4>she took a bunch of furniture with her to chat

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:44.920
<v Speaker 4>about where her new house was and she had to

0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:47.920
<v Speaker 4>later return it. So she clearly loves the White House.

0:41:48.320 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 4>And as for other presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman very

0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:57.879
<v Speaker 4>popular presidents with the Washington establishment. Barack Obama had had

0:41:57.880 --> 0:42:01.080
<v Speaker 4>a fifteen million dollar renovation of the East Wing and

0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:03.880
<v Speaker 4>he did tear down things with bill dozers So the

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:07.520
<v Speaker 4>point is, it's not that the renovation is being done because,

0:42:07.560 --> 0:42:09.920
<v Speaker 4>as you say, putting up tents every time there is

0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:12.839
<v Speaker 4>any dinner party over about one hundred people is very

0:42:12.880 --> 0:42:16.359
<v Speaker 4>cumbersome and off putting. So the ballroom will be used

0:42:16.360 --> 0:42:18.560
<v Speaker 4>by future presidents. In fact, it probably won't be done

0:42:19.719 --> 0:42:22.800
<v Speaker 4>until after the next president takes office. As a result,

0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:26.080
<v Speaker 4>the ballroom is going to be used by everybody. It's

0:42:26.080 --> 0:42:29.319
<v Speaker 4>being paid for it by private funds, and it's there's

0:42:29.360 --> 0:42:32.120
<v Speaker 4>a tradition that the White House has to grow with

0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:35.280
<v Speaker 4>the extent of its responsive social responsibilities.

0:42:35.800 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean, as you said, I mean Nixon

0:42:37.719 --> 0:42:39.719
<v Speaker 2>put in a bowling alley. Somebody else put in a

0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:43.120
<v Speaker 2>swimming pool. I forget who this, Jni Kennedy, John F.

0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy put in the pool. That's right, and they would

0:42:44.920 --> 0:42:46.400
<v Speaker 2>have had to do a lot of digging for that

0:42:46.480 --> 0:42:49.839
<v Speaker 2>as well. It's just unbelievable how much outrages there is here.

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:52.440
<v Speaker 2>But hey, I want to talk now about what's going

0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:55.839
<v Speaker 2>to happen. You say, talking about the future next occupant

0:42:55.920 --> 0:42:58.320
<v Speaker 2>of the White House, Well, that could be Gavin Newsom,

0:42:58.400 --> 0:43:01.799
<v Speaker 2>California governor, but he's suffering a setback in some of

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:05.800
<v Speaker 2>the early polling. According to the Noble Predictive Insights Poll,

0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:11.640
<v Speaker 2>God help Me, Kamala Harris is now at thirty three percent,

0:43:11.680 --> 0:43:16.480
<v Speaker 2>with Gavin Newsom at thirteen with AOC and that Transport

0:43:16.520 --> 0:43:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Secretary guy Pete Budajet following up behind. Now, what is

0:43:21.880 --> 0:43:25.440
<v Speaker 2>happening here? Is there a chance actually that the Democrats

0:43:25.560 --> 0:43:28.440
<v Speaker 2>might go with Kamala or is this just some noise

0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:30.160
<v Speaker 2>around her book tour and all of that.

0:43:31.880 --> 0:43:34.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, that would be an interesting choice because one party

0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:36.840
<v Speaker 4>would be cheering and the other party would be crying,

0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:38.640
<v Speaker 4>and you can guess which would be which.

0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, yes, I suppose, I suppose that that's right. But

0:43:45.040 --> 0:43:46.520
<v Speaker 2>do you think in other words.

0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:48.520
<v Speaker 4>They would say, they would say bring it on, please,

0:43:48.640 --> 0:43:49.600
<v Speaker 4>let's have a rematch.

0:43:50.120 --> 0:43:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, like, you know, look, on this show,

0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:57.080
<v Speaker 2>we completely endorse Kamala Harris being the Democrat nomany. We think.

0:43:57.239 --> 0:44:01.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm a Californian, I know Kamala and I think she

0:44:01.680 --> 0:44:03.360
<v Speaker 4>needs she deserves the stage.

0:44:04.160 --> 0:44:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Look, I think so let's all get behind the draft

0:44:06.719 --> 0:44:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Kamala movement greed completely. I think we're in furious agreement

0:44:11.760 --> 0:44:15.120
<v Speaker 2>on that one. Hey, onto just the border issues here,

0:44:15.800 --> 0:44:18.480
<v Speaker 2>our old friend borders are. Tom Homan has said that

0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:21.880
<v Speaker 2>he wants ICE to deport more than six hundred thousand

0:44:21.960 --> 0:44:24.759
<v Speaker 2>illegal aliens by the end of the year. Now this

0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:28.640
<v Speaker 2>comes as the Trump administration said that one point six

0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:35.160
<v Speaker 2>million migrants undocument migrants have voluntarily self deported. Now this

0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:38.040
<v Speaker 2>is interesting to me because some of these numbers, they're

0:44:38.040 --> 0:44:41.239
<v Speaker 2>actually lower than what Barack Obama was racking up when

0:44:41.239 --> 0:44:45.200
<v Speaker 2>he was president, and yet there's much more outrage about

0:44:45.440 --> 0:44:48.360
<v Speaker 2>all of this. Walk us through the politics of why

0:44:49.040 --> 0:44:55.160
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats are so absolutely wedded to illegal migration as

0:44:55.400 --> 0:44:58.680
<v Speaker 2>almost a holy writ for them.

0:44:58.840 --> 0:45:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, first of all, a lot of the the numbers

0:45:00.440 --> 0:45:03.200
<v Speaker 4>are spongy. I don't know how you properly count how

0:45:03.200 --> 0:45:07.439
<v Speaker 4>many people have self voluntarily left the country. I think

0:45:07.440 --> 0:45:11.080
<v Speaker 4>that that's so with Obama's numbers. We knew that there

0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:13.000
<v Speaker 4>were a lot of deportations. We certainly know there are

0:45:13.000 --> 0:45:17.600
<v Speaker 4>a lot of deportations. Now, I think that the immigration

0:45:18.400 --> 0:45:22.960
<v Speaker 4>procedures have to be targeted first at criminals, not breaking

0:45:23.080 --> 0:45:28.000
<v Speaker 4>up families arbitrarily, and encouraging people with the thousand dollars

0:45:28.040 --> 0:45:30.520
<v Speaker 4>of the two thousand dollars that they're given to leave

0:45:30.560 --> 0:45:34.440
<v Speaker 4>of their own volition. Now, how successful is that going

0:45:34.480 --> 0:45:37.319
<v Speaker 4>to be successful enough? Because a lot of people are

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:40.279
<v Speaker 4>just going to realize if they have the assurance and

0:45:40.320 --> 0:45:44.240
<v Speaker 4>they do that, should they should they voluntarily leave the country,

0:45:44.280 --> 0:45:46.279
<v Speaker 4>that does not mean they won't be allowed back in

0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:49.799
<v Speaker 4>in the future if they follow the legal procedures. That's

0:45:49.840 --> 0:45:52.239
<v Speaker 4>the key. So I think we have to give people

0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:55.120
<v Speaker 4>an incentive to go the legal route rather than just

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:58.080
<v Speaker 4>throwing them out. It has to be a combination of

0:45:58.120 --> 0:45:59.480
<v Speaker 4>carrots and sticks.

0:46:00.320 --> 0:46:02.839
<v Speaker 2>Fair Enough, fair Enough makes a lot of sense. John

0:46:02.920 --> 0:46:05.520
<v Speaker 2>fun thanks for joining me here on the Wester Report,

0:46:05.560 --> 0:46:08.319
<v Speaker 2>and I stick round because Only in America is coming

0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:11.479
<v Speaker 2>up next. But before we go to that, let's get

0:46:11.520 --> 0:46:14.759
<v Speaker 2>a bit more wisdom from someone who I think is

0:46:14.920 --> 0:46:19.040
<v Speaker 2>probably the smartest guy in the Democrat Party. If you

0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:21.920
<v Speaker 2>have a guest, yep, I'm talking about Senator John Fetterman

0:46:22.000 --> 0:46:27.279
<v Speaker 2>of Pennsylvania explaining where Kamala Harris went wrong. And I

0:46:27.320 --> 0:46:29.879
<v Speaker 2>know there's a lot of possibilities, but I think he's

0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:30.759
<v Speaker 2>onto something here.

0:46:31.880 --> 0:46:35.040
<v Speaker 14>I don't know why, and I've always refused to say that.

0:46:35.480 --> 0:46:39.680
<v Speaker 14>And when then the Vice President Harris referred to President

0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:43.040
<v Speaker 14>Trump as a fascist, and I knew absolutely we lost

0:46:43.040 --> 0:46:45.839
<v Speaker 14>the plot at that point. You know, if you call

0:46:45.960 --> 0:46:49.880
<v Speaker 14>the president or someone like a fascist, you're effectively calling

0:46:49.920 --> 0:46:52.239
<v Speaker 14>the people that are going to vote for him. And

0:46:52.280 --> 0:46:54.799
<v Speaker 14>then then they must be fascist too, or they ford

0:46:55.120 --> 0:46:57.640
<v Speaker 14>and then excuse me, they support fascism in those things,

0:46:57.640 --> 0:46:58.880
<v Speaker 14>and that's just not true.

0:46:58.960 --> 0:46:59.919
<v Speaker 7>That's just not it.

0:47:01.239 --> 0:47:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Behold this political genius. Don't call half the country fascist,

0:47:06.640 --> 0:47:08.439
<v Speaker 2>and maybe I don't know, some of them will vote

0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:12.880
<v Speaker 2>for you. Absolutely wild. Anyway, stick around because Only in

0:47:12.880 --> 0:47:21.440
<v Speaker 2>America is next. Welcome back to the program, and now

0:47:21.440 --> 0:47:23.880
<v Speaker 2>it's time for a little segment we like to call

0:47:24.320 --> 0:47:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Only in America. Right Well, Portland, Oregon. You know, there's

0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:35.520
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a dispute here over the place that

0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:38.719
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump calls a war zone, but Democrats say, oh,

0:47:38.760 --> 0:47:42.319
<v Speaker 2>everything is perfectly fine there. Well, why don't we throw

0:47:42.360 --> 0:47:45.319
<v Speaker 2>this over to you, British travel blogger Will Bailey, to

0:47:45.440 --> 0:47:49.000
<v Speaker 2>settle the bet over whether or not Portland is heaven

0:47:49.239 --> 0:47:51.239
<v Speaker 2>or hell. Over to you, sir.

0:47:52.280 --> 0:47:53.719
<v Speaker 5>If you don't know me, my name is Will, and

0:47:53.760 --> 0:47:55.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm about to explain to you what's happened in the

0:47:55.680 --> 0:47:58.240
<v Speaker 5>first forty eight hours since we've got here. We decided

0:47:58.280 --> 0:48:00.920
<v Speaker 5>to start our US tour in the city of Portland, Oregon.

0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:04.600
<v Speaker 2>And how did it go, mister Bailey.

0:48:04.680 --> 0:48:06.880
<v Speaker 5>We couldn't have made a bigger mistake if we tried.

0:48:07.120 --> 0:48:11.040
<v Speaker 5>This city is far from safe. Crime and homelessness dominates

0:48:11.080 --> 0:48:13.720
<v Speaker 5>this area, and this is something we've experienced firsthand since

0:48:13.719 --> 0:48:15.640
<v Speaker 5>being here. On our second night, we were woken up

0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:19.560
<v Speaker 5>to siren's shouting and three loud gunshots. This was just

0:48:19.600 --> 0:48:21.839
<v Speaker 5>the cherry on the cape. It's almost impossible to feel

0:48:21.880 --> 0:48:24.000
<v Speaker 5>safe here, and I am by no means incapable of

0:48:24.040 --> 0:48:26.279
<v Speaker 5>defending myself. But sometimes it's just best to get out

0:48:26.280 --> 0:48:28.640
<v Speaker 5>of a situation where you can. We're already making arrangements

0:48:28.680 --> 0:48:31.160
<v Speaker 5>to leave this city and find somewhere a lot more secure.

0:48:32.120 --> 0:48:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that just about settles it. That's a

0:48:34.440 --> 0:48:37.719
<v Speaker 2>point to mister Trump said in the National Guard. And

0:48:37.760 --> 0:48:39.600
<v Speaker 2>that's all the time we have for this week. See

0:48:39.640 --> 0:48:43.400
<v Speaker 2>you next time. Bye bye,
