Speaker 1: This is the US Report.
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the program. I'm Caroline Marcus.
Speaker 2: Coming up tonight. Trump orders the Epstein files to be released.
Speaker 2: So what will the Democrats complain about now? The President
Speaker 2: of CoP's criticism for his meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince.
Speaker 3: Plus why has.
Speaker 2: Our safety commissioner been summoned to the US Congress. Republican
Speaker 2: Congressman Jim Jordan will join me shortly to explain why.
Speaker 2: But first, in what could be the biggest one point
Speaker 2: eighty of his second term, US President Donald Trump has
Speaker 2: signed legislation allowing the US Justice Department to release the
Speaker 2: Epstein files. Posting on truth Social the President wrote, I
Speaker 2: have just signed the bill to.
Speaker 3: Release the Epstein files. At my direction.
Speaker 2: The Department of Justice has already turned over close to
Speaker 2: fifty thousand pages of documents to Congress. Do not forget
Speaker 2: the Biden administration did not turn over a single file
Speaker 2: or page related to Democrat Epstein, nor did they ever
Speaker 2: even speak about him. The House voted earlier this week
Speaker 2: to release the files by a margin of four hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty one to one, the one holdout being Republican
Speaker 2: Clay Higgins. He said he doesn't support the release because
Speaker 2: this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people, witnesses,
Speaker 2: people who provided alibis, family members, etc. But it was
Speaker 2: a move celebrated by many victim survivors. The Senate then
Speaker 2: voted unanimously in favor of the bill.
Speaker 3: We're going to have a moment.
Speaker 4: Of silence where I think we should just have a
Speaker 4: moment of celebration.
Speaker 5: For decades, these survivors have fought tirelessly.
Speaker 3: Today we are clother than ever now.
Speaker 2: The new Epstein Files Transparency Act directs the Department to
Speaker 2: release all unclassified materials related to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and
Speaker 2: his partner and accomplice, Gislaine Maxwell, within thirty days.
Speaker 6: We will continue to follow the law with maximum transparency
Speaker 6: while protecting victims.
Speaker 2: But this has been an issue that's caused something of
Speaker 2: a rift in Trump's magabase. Many MAGA supporters have been
Speaker 2: calling for the files to be released for some time.
Speaker 2: Trump has long resisted, despite saying there would be nothing
Speaker 2: personally incriminating. The worst fallout was with Trump's one time
Speaker 2: close ally, Republican Marjorie Taylor Green, who he called a traitor, wacky,
Speaker 2: and a disgrace, and.
Speaker 6: He called me a trader for standing with these women
Speaker 6: and refusing to take my name off.
Speaker 3: The discharge petition.
Speaker 6: Let me tell you what a trader is. A trader
Speaker 6: is a is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves.
Speaker 6: A patriot is an American that serves the United States
Speaker 6: of America and Americans like the women standing behind me.
Speaker 2: Trump had also berated a female reporter who asked about
Speaker 2: the release in an undignified exchange on Air Force one
Speaker 2: last week. But Trump finally seems to have come around
Speaker 2: and now is warning those on the other side of
Speaker 2: the isle who have hounded him on this to be
Speaker 2: careful what they wish for.
Speaker 7: As far as the Epstein files is, I have nothing
Speaker 7: to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I threw him out of
Speaker 7: my club many years years though, because I thought he
Speaker 7: was a sick pervert. But I guess I would turn out
Speaker 7: to be right. But you know who does have Bill Glenton.
Speaker 7: Larry Summers, who ran Harvard, was with him every single night,
Speaker 7: every single weekend. They lived together. They went to his
Speaker 7: island many times. I never did.
Speaker 8: Andrew Westman here.
Speaker 7: All these guys were friends of his. You don't even
Speaker 7: talk about those people.
Speaker 2: And it's now come to light that in the last
Speaker 2: tranch of Epstein files release last week were never before
Speaker 2: seen text messages from twenty seventeen implicating tech billionaire Bill Gates.
Speaker 2: Epstein wrote to one of Gates's apparent advisors about a
Speaker 2: business proposal and got the reply he wants to talk
Speaker 2: to you, but his wife won't let him. He loves you,
Speaker 2: says Hi, and feels bad about the business proposals. By
Speaker 2: the way, now, Gates hasn't been charged with any crime,
Speaker 2: but his and now ex wife Melina, has said that
Speaker 2: his friendship with Epstein was a key factor in their divorce.
Speaker 2: Expect to see many more marriage breakdowns with these files release,
Speaker 2: and much worse over the next few weeks. Joining me
Speaker 2: now is former White House Chief of Staff and senior
Speaker 2: advisor at Bondi Partners, Mick Mulvainy.
Speaker 3: Nick, thanks for joining me.
Speaker 2: Let's start with one of the biggest stories of the week,
Speaker 2: and that's President Trump signing the release of the Epstein files. Mick,
Speaker 2: I've spoken about his change of heart on the Epstein files,
Speaker 2: but why do you think he finally supported the release.
Speaker 9: I don't think how much choice, Caroline, Donald Trump doesn't
Speaker 9: usually get on the wrong side of eighty percent issues.
Speaker 9: It's one of the reasons that he decided to go
Speaker 9: ahead and encourage Republicans to vote for the bill that
Speaker 9: came out of a House that resulted in this piece
Speaker 9: of legislation being on his desk. So I think he
Speaker 9: saw which way the wind is blowing, and he decided
Speaker 9: to go ahead and get in front of it. It's
Speaker 9: been a stunning turn of events, twenty four to forty
Speaker 9: eight hours maximum between the time that he was against
Speaker 9: signing this bill to the time that he actually signed it.
Speaker 9: So it's not the end of the discussion. As you know,
Speaker 9: they'd be very curious to see in the next thirty days,
Speaker 9: as the legislation requires, what exactly the Department of Justice
Speaker 9: will or will not put out.
Speaker 2: Well, there is a thirty day deadline for the Department
Speaker 2: to release the documents. They can I guess redact some
Speaker 2: of it depending on victims and active investigations. But there
Speaker 2: seems to be such a build up to this. Do
Speaker 2: you think there'll be anything substantial left in the files
Speaker 2: that are yet to be released, because we have had
Speaker 2: obviously we've seen some emails, some documents come out before
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 9: Maybe I'm just a little bit cynical than most people.
Speaker 9: I don't think this is the end of the discussion.
Speaker 9: I don't think we're going to see these whole files.
Speaker 9: I really don't. I think this is going to end
Speaker 9: up going down in history like the Kennedy files, and
Speaker 9: it's unlikely that we'll ever see all of this in
Speaker 9: its entirety. I just get that feeling from watching Republicans
Speaker 9: on the Hill that they've been focusing very sort of
Speaker 9: specifically on the exemptions and the exceptions, the national security exception,
Speaker 9: some of the other limitations in the actual piece of
Speaker 9: limit of legislation, things for ongoing investigations, for example. And
Speaker 9: I think you might see in the next thirty days
Speaker 9: that if there is any sort of disclosure of documents,
Speaker 9: it's certainly not going to be full. Maybe I'm wrong
Speaker 9: about that, but I know a little bit about.
Speaker 2: Washington, well, that could open it up to a whole
Speaker 2: lot more conspiracy theories about what really happened, what happened
Speaker 2: to Jeff Ray Epstein when he died, If it really
Speaker 2: was suicide, do you think there's something sinister behind that,
Speaker 2: is that someone that they want to protect. Is just
Speaker 2: a case, in your view, of not interfering withational security
Speaker 2: and ongoing.
Speaker 9: Certainly not anything sinister, Caroline. As I've talked about many
Speaker 9: many times, I can't imagine there's anything really bad about
Speaker 9: Donald Trump in the file, because if there were, the
Speaker 9: Democrats who had this file for four years, would have
Speaker 9: put it out. I just don't think the federal government
Speaker 9: is capable of making true and full disclosure. And even
Speaker 9: if they put out a lot of stuff, will it
Speaker 9: satisfy everybody? I don't know. Keep in mind, most of
Speaker 9: the best evidence available, real hard evidence, is that Lee
Speaker 9: Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing John Kennedy. But sixty
Speaker 9: percent of the country still thinks there was somebody else involved,
Speaker 9: you know, more than sixty years later. So it's going
Speaker 9: to be a fascinating sort of experiment in the American process.
Speaker 9: Can the federal government, regardless of who's in charge, really
Speaker 9: fully disclose something we're going to we're going to see
Speaker 9: here in the next thirty days.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we certainly will.
Speaker 2: I talked at the top of the show about the
Speaker 2: split in the MAGA movement with Marjorie Taylor Green labeled
Speaker 2: a trader by the president over her longtime calls for
Speaker 2: the files to be released, and then Green hitting back
Speaker 2: at Trump's comments, Mick, do you think this is a
Speaker 2: concern what's happening, what seems to be happening among the base.
Speaker 9: No, I think it's limited to to not only Epstein.
Speaker 9: I think it's limited to Marjorie Taylor Green. And it
Speaker 9: wasn't just her comments about the Epstein files that they
Speaker 9: got Donald Trump where he is in their relationship. She
Speaker 9: was on television here she was an entirely different sort
Speaker 9: of person, different politician, different messaging. Donald Trump is still
Speaker 9: very much the leader of the Republican Party, certainly much
Speaker 9: more so than Marjorie Taylor Green. I think she's about
Speaker 9: to learn some very difficult lessons about who really is
Speaker 9: the big name in the MAGA movement, and it's not she.
Speaker 9: So look, I didn't expect to see this falling out.
Speaker 9: It happened again, very very rapidly, almost as rapidly as
Speaker 9: the Epstein files themselves, as that piece of legislation. But
Speaker 9: at the end of the day, I still think Donald
Speaker 9: Trumps as a stranglehold on the leadership of the MAGA movement,
Speaker 9: as he should. He's he built this. What will be
Speaker 9: interesting to see, Caroline, is what happens next. Will there
Speaker 9: be other things that come down the line that members
Speaker 9: of the Republican Party are willing to break from the
Speaker 9: president on. Will they break with him on tariffs? Will
Speaker 9: they break with him on say, military action in Venezuela.
Speaker 9: That will be the interesting thing to see. Is Epstein
Speaker 9: an outlier and just one thing? Or is this part
Speaker 9: of a trend? But I don't think Marjorie Taylor Green
Speaker 9: tells as much about any of that.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, it certainly will be interesting to see. I
Speaker 2: want to get your thoughts now on the President hosting
Speaker 2: Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salmon in Washington this week.
Speaker 2: It's caused a lot of controversy, especially since US intelligence
Speaker 2: said that the Saudi's approved the moto of Washington Post
Speaker 2: journalist Jamal Kashoji Mick. I'm going to get my thoughts
Speaker 2: on this later in the show. But do you think
Speaker 2: the criticism that's been aimed at the President over this
Speaker 2: in the past week has been intents?
Speaker 9: No, I don't. I think if there's any criticism. It
Speaker 9: was the one line that Trump used had said that
Speaker 9: that that NBS didn't know anything about it. I think
Speaker 9: our own intelligences. That's that's inaccurate. But that one line aside,
Speaker 9: I have absolutely no difficulty with the President treating Muhammed
Speaker 9: bin Selman as the as the crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Look,
Speaker 9: this is the real world, Caroline. You know, this is
Speaker 9: real politic, and there's that it is in the United
Speaker 9: States national interest to have a good relationship with Saudi Arabia,
Speaker 9: and that means having a good relationship with the crown Prince.
Speaker 9: And you know, is that sound horrible and it sounds
Speaker 9: terrible about you're ignoring what happened to Jamal Kushogi. Maybe,
Speaker 9: but that is the way the world works. Let's not
Speaker 9: lose sight of the fact that Joe Biden went to
Speaker 9: Saudi Arabia to meet with MBS and oh my goodness,
Speaker 9: he did a fist pump instead of a handshake. Does
Speaker 9: that really make a difference. No, This is an absolutely
Speaker 9: critical country, has been for a long time. Is even
Speaker 9: more important now that Iran has been neutered by the
Speaker 9: military action the American government took in the last several months.
Speaker 9: So this is a critical part of peace and prosperity.
Speaker 9: In the Mid East? Are they difficult people to work with? Look,
Speaker 9: a lot of folks around the world are. That is
Speaker 9: the real world. And I think Donald Trump was just
Speaker 9: recognizing that and extending the courtesies that he did this
Speaker 9: week to the Saudi Arabian leadership.
Speaker 2: Look, I mean, he is the deal maker, and this
Speaker 2: is the art of making the deal, isn't it. Do
Speaker 2: you think that he managed to get what he was
Speaker 2: after in this meeting because he was hoping, I know,
Speaker 2: that he would be able to get Saudi Arabia to
Speaker 2: sign up to the Abraham Accords normalized relationships with Israel.
Speaker 2: They did announce a lot of investment in America.
Speaker 3: Do you think it was a success the visit.
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 10: I do.
Speaker 9: And I recognize that the President's coming out of some
Speaker 9: criticism for not getting a firm commitment on the Abraham Accords,
Speaker 9: for example, not getting firm written agreements on the investments.
Speaker 9: I think I do think he's going to get that.
Speaker 9: Keep in mind, the sale of the F thirty five's
Speaker 9: is a big, big deal, and it's not going to
Speaker 9: happen tomorrow. It's going to take some time, so there'd
Speaker 9: be a chance to sort of feel each other out
Speaker 9: as we go forward on how the progress is being
Speaker 9: made on recognizing Israel, entering to the Abraham Accords, progress
Speaker 9: being made on investment and so forth. You're not going
Speaker 9: to see this happen overnight. But I do think it
Speaker 9: was very successful. It's hard to describe it as anything.
Speaker 9: But so like you said that the President wanted a deal,
Speaker 9: he got a deal. Just because you don't see the
Speaker 9: payoff on that in the next twenty four hours doesn't
Speaker 9: mean this wasn't a huge success for the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, that should be good news because we want,
Speaker 2: you know, there to be peace in that region and
Speaker 2: we want good relationship, as you point out, with that country.
Speaker 2: The President has also confirmed he is set to meet
Speaker 2: New York Mayor elect Zora and Mum Donnie tomorrow and
Speaker 2: the White at the White House, and he's labeled him
Speaker 2: again the Communist mayor of New York, and Donnie spoke
Speaker 2: to the media about his upcoming meeting with the President.
Speaker 3: Take a look.
Speaker 10: No matter what someone describes me as or how someone
Speaker 10: wants to speak about these policies, the important thing is
Speaker 10: that they may care about the city. And I know
Speaker 10: that with the President, there is an opportunity to make
Speaker 10: the case for New Yorkers, and I'll make that case
Speaker 10: to the President, will make that case to anyone in
Speaker 10: this country that can help New Yorkers.
Speaker 2: Mick Trump has had a lot of harsh woods to
Speaker 2: say about Mum Donnie, But how do you think their
Speaker 2: meeting will go when they actually come face to face.
Speaker 9: It's fascinating and I have no idea, and I knowed
Speaker 9: a little bit about Donald Trump, but I think that's
Speaker 9: part of the point. Caroline, What is Trump? You know,
Speaker 9: the best I've ever seen at creating media buzz, creating
Speaker 9: a narrative, creating messaging, creating news. He's a news making machine.
Speaker 9: I did not expect this one. I'll be perfectly honest
Speaker 9: with you. I'd never expected him to invite Zorhan Mamdanni,
Speaker 9: the self described socialist mayor of New York, into the
Speaker 9: Oval Office to have a discussion. It could be backslapping
Speaker 9: and can't we all get along? It could be worse
Speaker 9: than the Zelensky meeting. I have no idea. I do
Speaker 9: know this and why and why it's happening. Donald Trump
Speaker 9: cares a great deal about New York City. I think folks,
Speaker 9: especially overseas don't realize he is a New York City boy.
Speaker 9: He cares about the city where I'm sitting right now,
Speaker 9: and he wants to know more about this mumdonni guy,
Speaker 9: and he wants to meet him face to face. So look,
Speaker 9: anything literally could happen. They could end up shaking hands
Speaker 9: and hugging it out and working hand in hand going forward.
Speaker 9: I have no idea they could end up in fisticuffs.
Speaker 9: That's a little bit of an exaggeration, but not much.
Speaker 9: It's going to make for must see television, which my
Speaker 9: guess is is why it's happening.
Speaker 3: Yep, Yeah, absolutely right.
Speaker 2: It will be fascinating to see and that unpredictability. Unpredictability
Speaker 2: is why we love watching Trump so much.
Speaker 3: Mick Malbiny, thank you so much for joining me. Thanks
Speaker 3: Carly joining.
Speaker 2: Me now is FOLX News contributor Joe Concho. Joe, thanks
Speaker 2: for joining me. I want to get your thoughts too
Speaker 2: on President Trump signing the bill to release the Epstein files. Joe,
Speaker 2: what are you expecting to see out of these files
Speaker 2: given we have had a drip feed of material over
Speaker 2: many months.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Caroline, I would say that what we're not going
Speaker 4: to see is anything that is damaging to Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: In other words, this is what I know, and I've
Speaker 4: been saying this for many months now. That Donald Trump
Speaker 4: was run for president three times in the United States
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, twenty twenty four. Democrats were in
Speaker 4: control of all aspects.
Speaker 8: Of government during most of those times.
Speaker 4: If you wanted to take Donald Trump out of the
Speaker 4: equation as far as him winning the presidency, and he
Speaker 4: did that twice, you probably would have released something damaging
Speaker 4: by now from the Epstein files that they've had, Democrats
Speaker 4: have all along. So I think in the end, we've
Speaker 4: seen some embarrassing thing for Democrats, right in terms of
Speaker 4: Epstein donating to Jakim Jeffries, who is the House speaker,
Speaker 4: for example, or trading text messages with a congressional woman
Speaker 4: named Stacy Plaskett, even complimenting her on the way she
Speaker 4: was dressed during a hearing where he was feeding her
Speaker 4: information about Donald Trump. We also saw Epstein called Donald
Speaker 4: Trump dangerous. And then all I know is that during
Speaker 4: the first Trump administration in twenty nineteen, Trump indicted Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 4: So I think in the end, it's been a lot
Speaker 4: of innuendo in terms of what is Trump trying to hide?
Speaker 4: But this may be like the Russia hoax, where they
Speaker 4: said Trump was including with Vladier Putin in the Kremlin
Speaker 4: and it ended up having a boomerang effect. I have
Speaker 4: a feeling that that's where we're going here, based on
Speaker 4: the evidence that we've seen to this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, I think you're right, because when the Democrats
Speaker 2: released some of those emails naming Trump recently, that was
Speaker 2: a bit of a boomerang.
Speaker 3: Effect in itself.
Speaker 2: Having redacted the name of the victim, Virginia Jeffree, who
Speaker 2: turned out to be someone who always said that Trump
Speaker 2: never did anything wrong to her. Look, you mentioned Democrat
Speaker 2: Stacey Plaskett, who had been texting Epstein during that twenty
Speaker 2: nineteen congressional hearing.
Speaker 3: Now take a.
Speaker 2: Look at her excuse, as she was grilled about this
Speaker 2: on CENATE.
Speaker 5: But like many constituents, individuals get your phone number, they
Speaker 5: tech to you about issues, they speak with you. I
Speaker 5: have spoken with him about issues that are relevant, things
Speaker 5: that are going on in the Virgin Islands and elsewhere
Speaker 5: around the country.
Speaker 11: Right, But on that day that we're talking about, you
Speaker 11: initiated the tax exchange at seven fifty five in the morning.
Speaker 11: So why were you even texting with Epstein at the
Speaker 11: time he was a known sex offender.
Speaker 5: Then sure, you know, I explain to people, I've been
Speaker 5: a prosecutor for many years and there are a lot
Speaker 5: of people who have information that are not your friends
Speaker 5: that you use to get information for to get at
Speaker 5: the truth.
Speaker 3: Joe, do you buy any of that?
Speaker 4: I know, because again Epstein and her were going back
Speaker 4: and forth where he was complimenting her outpit and She's like, oh,
Speaker 4: thank you, So that sounded friendly to me. And by
Speaker 4: the way, if you want credible information, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 4: the last person you go to is somebody who is
Speaker 4: a convicted sex offender who had been indicted several times.
Speaker 4: She was texting douring a hearing in an effort to
Speaker 4: make Donald Trump look bad. She knows she's called. The
Speaker 4: old saying is that when you're in a hole, stop digging.
Speaker 4: And right now, Stacey Plasket is halfway to China by now.
Speaker 3: In that regard, you could be right.
Speaker 12: Look.
Speaker 2: Speaking of to the Democrats, Florida Congresswoman Sheila Chafilis McCormack
Speaker 2: was hit with a federal indictment Wednesday, accusing her of
Speaker 2: stealing five million dollars in federal emergency funds to support
Speaker 2: her twenty twenty one congressional campaign. She faces up to
Speaker 2: fifty three years in prison if convicted. Joe, it seems
Speaker 2: that these Democrats love to bring up any misdemeanor from
Speaker 2: a Republican. But between this and Leticia James, I don't
Speaker 2: think they have any moral high ground here left.
Speaker 4: Oh no, this proves that rock Bottom, you know, has
Speaker 4: a basement right when you're talking about things like this,
Speaker 4: like stealing money from FEMA when people are most in need,
Speaker 4: especially in Florida that has been devastated by hurricanes in
Speaker 4: the past couple of years. That is a whole bowl
Speaker 4: of wrong and an eighth circle of hell that is
Speaker 4: waiting for this person as a result if she is guilty,
Speaker 4: of course, and found guilty. So yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 4: In the American media, I'm barely seeing anything about this story.
Speaker 4: I have a feeling if a Republican did this, it
Speaker 4: would be twenty four to seven news. And that's the
Speaker 4: double standard that we lived with here over the pond.
Speaker 2: Yeah, such hypocrisy. We have very much the same situation
Speaker 2: here in Australia.
Speaker 3: Don't you worry.
Speaker 2: Before I let you go, I want to speak to
Speaker 2: you about Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man who tried to
Speaker 2: assassinate President Trump on the campaign trail last year. You
Speaker 2: spoke this week about how it was the most uncovered
Speaker 2: story of the century. Joe, Why do you think that is?
Speaker 4: I think because we had Let's see, Donald Trump was
Speaker 4: the first president to be shot. I know he's a
Speaker 4: candidate at the time, so he's a former president since
Speaker 4: Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty one. And Thomas Crooks, he
Speaker 4: carries out this assassination attempt. He outflanks the entire Secret Service,
Speaker 4: local law enforcement, is able to fly a drone over
Speaker 4: the rally site just a day beforehand and hide a
Speaker 4: high power rifle excuse me, behind an air conditioner, and
Speaker 4: that is able to get up on the roof of
Speaker 4: the one building, the one building that had line of
Speaker 4: sight to Donald Trump four hundred feet away, and when
Speaker 4: you have a scope that's like a two foot putt,
Speaker 4: and that Donald Trump doesn't turn his head the way
Speaker 4: he did at that exact moment. We're talking about the
Speaker 4: late Donald Trump and the fact that we barely saw
Speaker 4: any firings from the Secret Service, because remember they knew
Speaker 4: there was a threat out there at that rally, and
Speaker 4: they still said break your leg, Donald Trump, get out there,
Speaker 4: instead of like saying stay back until we neutralize the threat.
Speaker 4: There are so many unanswered questions here that deserve answers,
Speaker 4: and now we're seeing that Thomas Crooks may have been
Speaker 4: coordinating this with other people that he obviously had a
Speaker 4: trans sort of fetish, much like Tyler Robinson who tried
Speaker 4: to kill Charlie Kirk. I have a very hard time
Speaker 4: believing that a twenty year old kid almost killed a
Speaker 4: former president future president without any help whatsoever. We deserve answers,
Speaker 4: but our media is apathetic except for Maranda Devine of
Speaker 4: The New York Post. Thank God for her, because she's
Speaker 4: uncovering a lot of things right now on her own
Speaker 4: that obviously other people with far more resources should be
Speaker 4: looking into at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Miranda is exceptional, a former Australian colleague of US
Speaker 2: here and now doing wonderful things at the New York Post,
Speaker 2: uncovering all the social media footprint that this.
Speaker 3: Guy actually had.
Speaker 2: And you write, like the lack of coverage, the lack
Speaker 2: of information from authorities. They're just feeling conspiracy theories that
Speaker 2: may or may not be true, but we don't know.
Speaker 3: Joe conta, thank you.
Speaker 8: For joining me A pleasure.
Speaker 9: Thanks so much. We'll do it again.
Speaker 2: Before we go to a break, I want to show
Speaker 2: you this funny interaction between the US President and a
Speaker 2: reporter in the Oval office. Earlier this week, one member
Speaker 2: of the press noticed Donald Trump's voice sounding a little
Speaker 2: horse so he inquired about his health. After all, the
Speaker 2: truth about the last president's health was the subject of
Speaker 2: a major cover up.
Speaker 3: Well, it turns out out there's nothing to worry about.
Speaker 2: Trump had just been doing too much shouting at stupid people.
Speaker 1: Why sends little Robber's billing oath.
Speaker 9: I feel great.
Speaker 7: I was shouting at people because there was stupid about
Speaker 7: something having to do with trade in a country, and
Speaker 7: I straightened it out. But I blew my stack at these.
Speaker 8: Free Well, it sounds like there's a follow up there.
Speaker 8: But can I ask you about Venezuela?
Speaker 9: You suggests it was.
Speaker 8: It sounds like there's a follow up there.
Speaker 2: Can I ask you about Venezuela?
Speaker 9: You said there was a pollop and I said, I
Speaker 9: don't want to hear that.
Speaker 2: We're just glad you're okay, mister president back with lawsuits.
Speaker 3: Welcome back.
Speaker 2: Sometimes Donald Trump's outbursts against journalists are warranted after almost
Speaker 2: of the mainstream media has been stacked against him from
Speaker 2: his first election campaign, and there's plenty to call them
Speaker 2: out for, as we're always first to do. But other
Speaker 2: times it's right to call out when the president gets
Speaker 2: it wrong. Let's watch again that degrading exchange with a
Speaker 2: reporter on Air Force One who was asking Trump about
Speaker 2: the Epstein files. Look, I'm sure she's tough enough to copy.
Speaker 2: You have to have a thick skin in this game,
Speaker 2: but it's still beneath him. More concerning, though, attempts by
Speaker 2: the President to shut down scrutiny of his controversial guest
Speaker 2: in the White House, Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salmon,
Speaker 2: for whom he literally rolled out the red carpet when
Speaker 2: a journalist dared ask about the shocking twenty eighteen murder
Speaker 2: and dismemberment of Washington Post columnist Jamal Koshoghi, a killing
Speaker 2: the CIA has said was ordered by the Crown Prince.
Speaker 2: Trump sprung to his guest defense.
Speaker 13: Your Royal Highness, the US Intelligence concluded that you orchestrated
Speaker 13: the brutal murder of a journalist.
Speaker 1: Nine eleven families are.
Speaker 13: Furious that you are here in the overlogice watched the
Speaker 13: Americans who you.
Speaker 9: Were and who you were?
Speaker 12: How would ABC news sir with who acwsir?
Speaker 5: Fake news?
Speaker 7: ANBC fake news? You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial.
Speaker 7: A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're
Speaker 7: talking about, whether you like him or didn't like him.
Speaker 7: Things happened, but he knew nothing about it.
Speaker 3: Oh please.
Speaker 2: I don't think even the Crown Prince understood why he
Speaker 2: was defending him. Here he's looking down at his hands.
Speaker 2: But I do understand the stakes here. I know Trump's
Speaker 2: main game is to get Saudi Arabia to join the
Speaker 2: Abraham Accords and normalize relations with Israel, a very worthy goal,
Speaker 2: no doubt, and the Saudis have also promised to lift
Speaker 2: investments in the US to want trillion dollars. But the
Speaker 2: attempts to sanitize the Crown Prince's record doesn't sit well.
Speaker 7: You don't have to embarrass our guests by asking a
Speaker 7: question like.
Speaker 9: You'd love me to answer.
Speaker 14: Add it's spainful and it's a huge mistake, and you're
Speaker 14: doing all business that this doesn't happen again.
Speaker 2: Not entirely convincing, but ben Selman at least expressed some
Speaker 2: sympathy over the murder. It's the same uncomfortable feeling I
Speaker 2: get seeing Trump CosIng up to Syrian president and former
Speaker 2: Al Kaeda branch leader Ahmad al Shara. Al Kaeda was,
Speaker 2: after all, the group behind the September eleven attacks, helped
Speaker 2: by at least two Saudi officials.
Speaker 7: It's the best fragrance here.
Speaker 4: Every things I have more here, sir comes the okay, So.
Speaker 8: What we'll do is just take that Joe put it
Speaker 8: in and then the other one as you went.
Speaker 1: As I never know.
Speaker 3: I mean, who else could ask how many wives someone has?
Speaker 5: It?
Speaker 12: Like? Light?
Speaker 2: Moments like that are funny, don't get me wrong, I
Speaker 2: love them, but they also do help to launder the
Speaker 2: image of a former terrorist. Then again, maybe it's a
Speaker 2: case of keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Speaker 2: Joining me now is a very special guest on the
Speaker 2: US Report, Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, Congressman, thanks for joining me.
Speaker 2: I want to start with our very own e Safety
Speaker 2: Commissioner here in Australia, Julie Inman Grant, who I exclusively
Speaker 2: revealed this week on Sky News, had been summoned to
Speaker 2: give evidence before Congress into how our laws and her
Speaker 2: enforcement of them threaten the free speech of Americans.
Speaker 3: In a scorching letter signed off by.
Speaker 2: You, she's also been accused of being a zealot for
Speaker 2: global takedowns and facilitating a global censorship regime. First of all, Congressman,
Speaker 2: the big question, has Julie Inman Grant agreed to your
Speaker 2: request yet?
Speaker 8: So she hasn't, But you know, she knows how to
Speaker 8: get to the United States.
Speaker 15: She was just here not too long ago, meeting out
Speaker 15: in Stanford with a bunch of other people who we
Speaker 15: found in our investigation last Congress were involved in the
Speaker 15: censorship effort that was undertaken by the Biden administration here
Speaker 15: in the United States, big government working with big tech
Speaker 15: and big academia to censor American speech.
Speaker 8: And so she was just here talking with all those folks.
Speaker 15: So we thought we'd invite her back to talk to
Speaker 15: our committee, particularly in light of the situation where she
Speaker 15: wanted a global takedown of some you know, some bad content.
Speaker 8: I understand, but she.
Speaker 15: Wanted to impose Australia's rules on the United States. We
Speaker 15: have a First Amendment that we take pretty darn seriously,
Speaker 15: so we're opposed to that, that kind of a global
Speaker 15: takedown order from a foreign, foreign country. We want to
Speaker 15: talk to her about all that. We hope she We
Speaker 15: hope she accepts our invitation and comes and speaks.
Speaker 2: At the moment, the request is voluntary, I understand, and
Speaker 2: you've given her a two week deadline to appear. If
Speaker 2: she declined, fans to voluntarily appear, though, what legal powers,
Speaker 2: if any, do you have to compel her.
Speaker 8: Well, we hope she just comes. Like I said, she knows.
Speaker 15: She's just been to the United State. It's not like
Speaker 15: she hasn't been here before. We would welcome her back
Speaker 15: to talk to the committee. I mean, after all, when
Speaker 15: she had the debate with Elon Muskin an x or
Speaker 15: formerly Twitter, she felt like content should be taken down
Speaker 15: globally because of what she said should happen because of
Speaker 15: the law you have there in Australia. So we think
Speaker 15: she should want to come back and explain all that
Speaker 15: to us.
Speaker 8: So we hope that she does well.
Speaker 2: She's certainly not afraid to travel We had some reports
Speaker 2: here recently that revealed she'd spent a lot of tax
Speaker 2: payer money on travel for herself and her staff.
Speaker 3: But Congressman you mentioned global takedowns when I.
Speaker 2: Put question to Julie Quick questions to Julia Immigrant about
Speaker 2: this letter and your request, as spokesman for her office,
Speaker 2: said our Outline Safety Act does not require global takedowns
Speaker 2: and quote, there's nothing we're doing that prevents American companies
Speaker 2: from displaying whatever they want to Americans. But there have
Speaker 2: of course been some high profile examples where the E
Speaker 2: Safety Commissioner, as you allude to, has tried to force
Speaker 2: platforms like Elon, musks X to take down content globally.
Speaker 15: Yeah, we're very concerned about this trend that we see
Speaker 15: in other Western nations. We see it in the EU
Speaker 15: with their Digital Services Act Online Safety Act, and the
Speaker 15: UK and others where it's like they want to apply
Speaker 15: their standard to to America, where we have a first amendment.
Speaker 8: So we're very nervous about that.
Speaker 15: We're also nervous about what it means for American business
Speaker 15: because you know, there's potential for fines of certain percentage
Speaker 15: of global revenue for some of these American technology companies
Speaker 15: that is right, that's huge amounts of money. So it's
Speaker 15: almost like either follow our rules and apply them globally
Speaker 15: or there could be shakedown coming.
Speaker 8: So we're concerned about all that.
Speaker 15: And we had last Congress one of our well a
Speaker 15: couple of our witnesses in front of the committee. One
Speaker 15: was a journalist from Canada and she I thought she
Speaker 15: was great Rupe Supermanya.
Speaker 8: She said, one of the hallmarks of Western culture.
Speaker 15: Is free debate, free expression, and it always starts off, oh,
Speaker 15: we want to limit this harmful content. And look, we
Speaker 15: all understand that, but it never stops there. It glows
Speaker 15: to censorship of political speech. And as RFK Junior testified
Speaker 15: in a similar hearing, he said, when you look at history,
Speaker 15: it is never the good guys.
Speaker 8: Who are for censorship.
Speaker 15: It is always the bad guys. And that's what we
Speaker 15: don't want to have, is this censorship regime that we
Speaker 15: see being pushed in other places. We don't want to
Speaker 15: come in here. We hope it doesn't happen over there,
Speaker 15: because again, Western culture is about free expression.
Speaker 2: Well, I fear it's a little bit too late for
Speaker 2: us here in Australia, and I know a lot of
Speaker 2: our viewers are concern about the infringements on their free
Speaker 2: speech rights here we don't have the First Amendment, of course,
Speaker 2: but they are cheering you on a lot of our viewers,
Speaker 2: let me tell you. Let's move on to what is
Speaker 2: happening in the MAGA movement, and it seems like there's
Speaker 2: been something of a split after US Representative Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 2: Green was labeled to trade it by the President. I
Speaker 2: know you're a close ally of Donald Trump's. Did you
Speaker 2: support his comments about Taylor Green?
Speaker 15: Well, I support the presidents of what he's done for
Speaker 15: our country. I mean, I support what he's done in
Speaker 15: nine months as the leader of our party in our nation.
Speaker 15: I support what he's done in the past nine nine
Speaker 15: and a half months around around the world, bringing hostages
Speaker 15: back to Israel, making sure Iran doesn't have nuclear capability,
Speaker 15: cutting taxes here, securing the border here, getting men out
Speaker 15: of women's sports here in the United State. I mean
Speaker 15: I support that the president who has done what he
Speaker 15: said he was going to do. That's what I support,
Speaker 15: and I think the Republicans support that. I think the
Speaker 15: country appreciates the leadership from President Trump. You know, I
Speaker 15: say the time I think we make the job of
Speaker 15: a public official way too complicated.
Speaker 8: It's pretty basic.
Speaker 15: What'd you tell the voters you were going to do
Speaker 15: when you ran for the job, if you get elected
Speaker 15: to do what you said.
Speaker 8: President Trump does that better than anyone.
Speaker 2: Look, can't disagree with you, though, and he has clocked
Speaker 2: up some amazing achievements, including getting those hostages back and
Speaker 2: what he's done and around your right. I just finally
Speaker 2: want to bring up a new poll from Siena College
Speaker 2: which has revealed that only thirty two percent of New
Speaker 2: York State voters have a favorable view of Senate Minority
Speaker 2: Leader Chuck Schumer Congressman. It seems like the Democrats holding
Speaker 2: the government hostage during the shutdown, will that didn't do
Speaker 2: them any favors?
Speaker 3: Did it?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 8: And they did that, I mean we all know why
Speaker 8: they did that.
Speaker 15: For ten years, the one constant for the Democrat Party
Speaker 15: is to be go after President Trump and go after
Speaker 15: his supporters.
Speaker 8: I mean, you can go down the whole list of
Speaker 8: all the you know it was spine on.
Speaker 15: His campaign, them all investigation of peachment one and Peachment two,
Speaker 15: all the law for everything else. So and then they
Speaker 15: shut down the government for forty three days, and they said,
Speaker 15: never mind what that could what that could mean to
Speaker 15: to our US military, what that can mean to air
Speaker 15: traffic controllers, what that means to our economy, what that
Speaker 15: means to American families. They said, oh no, no, We're
Speaker 15: going to shut the government down for a month and
Speaker 15: a half because we think it might hurt the president. Well,
Speaker 15: that's just crazy, and so it's no wonder that you know,
Speaker 15: New Yorkers and people around the country like that was.
Speaker 15: That was a terrible thing for the country. And they're
Speaker 15: not having a they don't have a great deal of support.
Speaker 2: Then for Senatorshoper Well Congressman Jim Jordan, has been a
Speaker 2: great pleasure having you on. Hopefully we can speak to
Speaker 2: you again and we will keep across that Julie in
Speaker 2: mcgrant e Safety Commissioner story.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Superstar footballer Cristiano Ronaldo paid a visit to the White
Speaker 2: House on Wednesday to attend a presidential dinner alongside Donald
Speaker 2: Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salmon. NBS and
Speaker 2: Trump had just had their historic, if controversial diplomatic meeting
Speaker 2: in the White House. The royals first since the murder
Speaker 2: of Jamal Kashoji in a Saudi consulate in Turkey in
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, but the appearance of Ronaldo, who plays for
Speaker 2: Saudi team Al Naso, provided some light relief. Trump posting
Speaker 2: this video of their meeting in the Oval office. Who
Speaker 2: knew Trump had such moves. That's amazing what you could
Speaker 2: do with Ai. Trump revealed his guest had earned him
Speaker 2: street cred with his younger son.
Speaker 7: This room is loaded up with the biggest leaders in
Speaker 7: the world business sports.
Speaker 9: You know, my son is a big fan of Ronaldo.
Speaker 7: Wherever Ronaldo is here with Ronaldo and Baron got to
Speaker 7: meet him, and I think he respects his father a
Speaker 7: little bit more now, just the fact that I introduced you.
Speaker 7: So I just want to thank you both for being here.
Speaker 7: Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: It sure helps having a dad in high places. After
Speaker 2: the break, what has Michelle Obama winged about?
Speaker 12: Now?
Speaker 2: That's next with Alex Stein joining me now is comedian
Speaker 2: Alex Stein. Alex, it's always great to see you. I
Speaker 2: want to start with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who has
Speaker 2: once again come out and condemned the Trump administration for
Speaker 2: the federal takeover of cities look at this.
Speaker 16: So we know that the intentional attacks that are coming
Speaker 16: from the Trump administration and the extreme right in this
Speaker 16: country has very much been what I call is it's
Speaker 16: an attempt to relitigate the Civil War right. They have
Speaker 16: not accepted the results that the North actually won. Right,
Speaker 16: because if you look at all of the attacks, it's
Speaker 16: not just black cities. He's going after education, housing, transportation,
Speaker 16: good paying jobs, and healthcare. Those are literally the five
Speaker 16: demands of descending to slaves post Civil War. So it's
Speaker 16: evident that they are not, you know, committed to actually
Speaker 16: realizing the full dream of what this country can offer now.
Speaker 2: Alex, don't you think Brandon Johnson should mightbe be more
Speaker 2: appreciative that his city is now safer unto Trump's watch.
Speaker 12: One hundred person. He should be happy that Chicago, the
Speaker 12: people and the citizens are not getting shot constantly. And
Speaker 12: you know what, you know, what's really the most surprising
Speaker 12: thing is that if you look at LORI life, but
Speaker 12: the past mayor of Chicago, she was so bad and
Speaker 12: I thought it would be impossible. Whoever's going to be
Speaker 12: the next mayor of Chicago has to do a better job.
Speaker 12: And I was wrong. Brandon Johnson is even worse than
Speaker 12: peoterle Juice Lory life and the people of Chicago, they
Speaker 12: don't feel so and that's why they need Donald Trump
Speaker 12: to actually put in you know, National Guard to help
Speaker 12: protect these people. So it's a really sad situation in Chicago,
Speaker 12: of America's one of our greatest cities, and it's really
Speaker 12: going down the drain because of bad leadership. And you
Speaker 12: you know, they have a lot of people that go
Speaker 12: to their city council meetings and call oup Berton Johnson
Speaker 12: because all of the illegal immigrants are getting social services
Speaker 12: instead of American citizens. So there needs to be a
Speaker 12: lot of correction done in Chicago, and I think the
Speaker 12: pressure by Donald Trump is only a good thing for
Speaker 12: the safety and the citizens of that city.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of delusional lefty mayors, New York City mayor
Speaker 2: likes Zorn mum Donni this week got some backlash after
Speaker 2: his attempt to ask for donations from voters.
Speaker 10: A lot of these things are new. One of them
Speaker 10: is pretty old fundrings. But why are we fundraising? Well,
Speaker 10: we have less than fifty days until we take office.
Speaker 8: We have a lot to do.
Speaker 10: You've already been incredible. We've raised more than a million
Speaker 10: dollars in just two weeks. Our average donation is around
Speaker 10: seventy seven dollars, and more than twelve thousand of you
Speaker 10: have donated so far, which is much lower than the
Speaker 10: last administration's transition. Well, we're still asking for your help
Speaker 10: because we need to raise four million dollars in total.
Speaker 10: So January first can be the day we start to deliver,
Speaker 10: not start to prepare. I hope very well soon not
Speaker 10: to have to ask you for money. But until then,
Speaker 10: I'm asking.
Speaker 2: Alex correct me if I'm wrong here. But I thought
Speaker 2: his entire campaign was built on everything is free. Now
Speaker 2: it seems there is actually a cost to all this
Speaker 2: free stuff.
Speaker 12: I know it is very hypocritical. I thought the busses
Speaker 12: are going to forget that there's going to be free
Speaker 12: grocery stoorders. And now he's out here e begging for
Speaker 12: money because it's campaign is not bringing in as much
Speaker 12: as the last one. So, Mom, Donnie, the disaster is
Speaker 12: starting early. I think it's going to be a disaster
Speaker 12: the whole entire time. But I don't want the people
Speaker 12: of New York to be scared, because really and truly,
Speaker 12: Bill Deblasio is a horrible mayor. You know, Eric Adams
Speaker 12: wasn't a great mayor either, So Mom, Donnie, he's untalented.
Speaker 12: He's thirty four years old, he's got absolutely no ex experience.
Speaker 12: But compared to the last people, I don't know how
Speaker 12: much worse he can be. And I really don't think
Speaker 12: he's going to be able to get sharia law in
Speaker 12: New York City, one of the highest populated Jewish cities
Speaker 12: in the world. So I think he's going to get
Speaker 12: a lot of pushback, and I do think during his
Speaker 12: administration he's not going to get as much done as
Speaker 12: people might think.
Speaker 2: Oh well, let's hope he can't push through sharia law.
Speaker 2: It's it's amazing that one of the highest Jewish population
Speaker 2: cities managed to elect him as well. Look, he's set tools.
Speaker 2: I meet with the president tomorrow. How do you think
Speaker 2: that's actually going to play out.
Speaker 12: Well, it's going to be awkward, that's for sure. It
Speaker 12: is going to be awkward. And I think but Donald Trump, though,
Speaker 12: and this is one of his good things and one
Speaker 12: of his faults, is that Donald Trump wants to be
Speaker 12: liked by the left, and I think it was to
Speaker 12: be liked by the people in the City of New York.
Speaker 12: So I wouldn't be surprised if Donald Trump doesn't try
Speaker 12: to kind of extend in all of branch and at
Speaker 12: least give him the opportunity to stab him in the back,
Speaker 12: you know, maybe give him the benefit of the doubt
Speaker 12: at the beginning of the relationship and then kind of
Speaker 12: way to see when Mom Donnie fails, because you know,
Speaker 12: you get a lot farther with sugar then you do
Speaker 12: vinegar and just I do think that that Donald Trump
Speaker 12: will be nice to him, but once that situation sours,
Speaker 12: Donald Trump is gonna have all you know, Mohammed, Mam Donnie.
Speaker 12: He's gonna have all kinds of nicknames for this guy.
Speaker 12: So you better be very careful when he's dealing with
Speaker 12: President Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I suspect you're dead right. He's all bluster, but
Speaker 2: when he meets in person, he's very charming. He will
Speaker 2: he will come after you. If Mum Donnie pushes forward
Speaker 2: with some of these socialist proposals.
Speaker 3: No doubt Trump is coming after him. As you know.
Speaker 2: Michelle Obama, well, she's been busy on her tour of grievance,
Speaker 2: this time complaining about how tough life is and was
Speaker 2: as a first lady.
Speaker 3: Well here's her latest winch.
Speaker 13: Eight year stint as first lady tends tends to confine
Speaker 13: to be a bit confining, right, because you know that
Speaker 13: the rule, the job was not to just represent me,
Speaker 13: but to represent the nation. And as the first black
Speaker 13: family in that house, just like you know, black folks
Speaker 13: feel in all the first positions that we're the you know,
Speaker 13: we're carrying the torch, we're lighting the way, which means
Speaker 13: that we've got to do it really, really well.
Speaker 2: So now she says she feel she felt confined as
Speaker 2: the first lady. I mean, Alex Spammy, it's why she's
Speaker 2: being interviewed in the first place.
Speaker 12: Spare me is exactly right. I mean, you were the
Speaker 12: first black first lady in American history. There's no reason
Speaker 12: to be a victim. And you know, I don't really
Speaker 12: like Barack Obama, but let's just admit that he's got
Speaker 12: an aura, he's got swag, he's a great orator, and
Speaker 12: when he talks, he doesn't constantly sound like a victim.
Speaker 12: I don't know why Michelle doesn't copy her husband and
Speaker 12: use some of the public speaking skills that he has,
Speaker 12: because every time that she goes out and does an interview,
Speaker 12: she either embarrasses him, she embarrasses herself, or she embarrasses
Speaker 12: her brother who was her podcast host and I think
Speaker 12: had to quit. So Michelle Obama has a victimhood disorder
Speaker 12: where she feels like, even though she's one of the
Speaker 12: most successful black women in American history, she's still a
Speaker 12: victim somehow. So I really hope that she's not a
Speaker 12: role model for young black women that when they have success,
Speaker 12: do not go and complain about it on podcasts constantly.
Speaker 12: Nobody wants to hear that, So, you know, Michelle Obama
Speaker 12: copy Barack please.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, it does provide us with endless
Speaker 2: content on shows like this Alex, so maybe she shouldn't
Speaker 2: stop anytime soon.
Speaker 3: Look.
Speaker 2: Finally, Democratic Californian State Senators Scott Walker.
Speaker 3: He's proposed new legislation this week called.
Speaker 2: The No Kings Act, which would make it easier for
Speaker 2: residents to sue immigration officials for violating their constitutional right.
Speaker 2: Walker is running to replace retiring Nancy Pelosi's House seat.
Speaker 3: How do you think he'll go with ideas like this?
Speaker 12: You know, honestly, they say, I legal immigrants camp vote,
Speaker 12: because that's what he's been his whole entire campaign is
Speaker 12: that he hopes that these are illegal immigrants. I guess so,
Speaker 12: no voter ID laws can go vote for him because
Speaker 12: I'm telling you this is a bipartisan issue. People don't
Speaker 12: want illegal immigrants taking their jobs from them. That's the problem.
Speaker 12: Is like in theory, we think that we're countries competing
Speaker 12: against each other, but that's not the truth. It's really
Speaker 12: just citizens within America competing with each other to get jobs.
Speaker 12: And once you bring in all this illegal immigration, these
Speaker 12: companies can pay them so much less and it just
Speaker 12: makes it much much harder to get a job. So
Speaker 12: I think this is a bipartisan effort to actually shut
Speaker 12: shut down the border and to you know, clean up
Speaker 12: our country. And I know that, you know, the media
Speaker 12: might I give you that impression, but trust me, there's
Speaker 12: a lot of leftists that are sick and tired of
Speaker 12: illegal immigrants hitting them in their car, not having insurance,
Speaker 12: causing them all kinds of issues. They see their you know,
Speaker 12: crime is up. It's just when it comes down to
Speaker 12: ice agents, they're not the problem. It's leadership like this.
Speaker 12: I want to protect the illegal immigrants and not the
Speaker 12: hard working, you know, American police force that is trying
Speaker 12: to make our country a safer place.
Speaker 2: Not the impression that we're getting from the many of
Speaker 2: the mainstream media outlets over there. So thanks for shining
Speaker 2: some light on what people are really thinking, Alexeyn, thank
Speaker 2: you for joining us.
Speaker 12: My pleasure. Thank you guys for having me.
Speaker 2: Aroana Grande and Cynthia Arrivo have certainly had more than
Speaker 2: a few odd moments during.
Speaker 3: Their Wicked for Good press tour.
Speaker 2: First, Australian serial Pest Johnson went jumped a barricade and
Speaker 2: ambushed Grande at the movie Singapool premiere. Arrivo leaped to
Speaker 2: her defense despite bodyguards being just there behind them. Then
Speaker 2: there was this weird moment when Arrivo kept fiddling with
Speaker 2: Grande's necklace even though there was nothing visibly wrong.
Speaker 13: She's getting the fixing itch. That's Cynthia Vase there.
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you.
Speaker 2: Now the stars have appeared on a French podcast where
Speaker 2: they acted like one of them was dying from a
Speaker 2: terminal disease.
Speaker 14: I'm just spending time with you. It's good, the pleasure
Speaker 14: getting to are you and I hope you will be
Speaker 14: their theirst man. I will be and I hope you
Speaker 14: will be two and it's been the privilege of my
Speaker 14: life and I love you. Yeah, I hope you'll let
Speaker 14: my life French be one of the things that then
Speaker 14: your raining on a line.
Speaker 2: It Seriously, if someone figures out what's going on with
Speaker 2: these two, please let us know.
Speaker 3: Only in America after the break.
Speaker 2: And now it's time for a little segment we like
Speaker 2: to call only in America. Half a dozen Democrats released
Speaker 2: an online video this week urging US servicemen and women
Speaker 2: to defy illegal orders.
Speaker 1: Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 5: You can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 8: You must refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 9: No one has to.
Speaker 3: Carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.
Speaker 1: We know this is hard and that it's a difficult
Speaker 1: time to be a public servant.
Speaker 5: But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or
Speaker 5: Navy Air Force, your vigilance is critical and know that we.
Speaker 12: Have your back.
Speaker 2: As you can imagine, the reaction has been off the
Speaker 2: charts overnight. President Donald Trump himself posted to truth Social
Speaker 2: this is really bad and dangerous to our country. Their
Speaker 2: words cannot be allowed to stand. Sir Disho's behavior from traitors.
Speaker 2: Lock them up and when he decided jail time didn't
Speaker 2: go far enough. He called for the death penalty. Sir
Speaker 2: Dishou's behavior punishable by death, he wrote. The lawmakers in
Speaker 2: the viral video then responded to Trump's posts, demand he
Speaker 2: delete them and calling on every American to unite and
Speaker 2: condemn the president's calls for our murder and political violence. Well,
Speaker 2: he didn't exactly call for murder, but his response was extreme,
Speaker 2: even if the message in that video did give off
Speaker 2: a clear treasonous vibe. But according to Congresswoman Chrissy Hulahan,
Speaker 2: it's everyone else's faults for misinterpreting the video, claiming it
Speaker 2: was never about telling servicemen to ignore orders. She said,
Speaker 2: I'm enormously frustrated with the way that this very sensible
Speaker 2: video is being interpreted in a really insidious way.
Speaker 3: Really rollo tape.
Speaker 1: You can refuse illegal orders, you can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 8: You must refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 2: You make up your own mind. Thanks for your company.
Speaker 2: Tonight up next to read to panahe with left He's
Speaker 2: losing it.
