Speaker 3: White House.

42
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: Big day yesterday for this administration. I think the President

43
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: had a good chance to frame up some of the

44
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: things that are the most important to you, which is

45
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: really what's happened with our bordered immigration system is a

46
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: humanage Tarrian crisis, and it harms Americans it harms people

47
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: who are coming into the country illegally. I don't know

48
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: if I've seen such a clear articulation.

49
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: Of that as I saw yesterday, but I want to

50
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 3: get your perspectives.

51
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 4: No, I thought the best speech he's done, and he's

52
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: done a lot of great ones. Well, last night, we

53
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 4: have the nail on the head.

54
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 6: Right.

55
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: We have the most secure border in the history of

56
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: this country, nothing even close, even veteran Trump forty five. Well,

57
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 4: the message is we're going to enforce immigrations from because

58
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 4: we're enforced immigration law and we prioritize in public safety threats.

59
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: Every illegal alien public safety threat we've taken off the

60
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 4: street that have been hundreds of thousands of them. Makes

61
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: this country safer again because the crime rate paus with

62
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 4: Trump promise to make America safe again, That's exactly what

63
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: we're doing. He promised mass deportation, That's exactly.

64
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: What he's doing.

65
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 4: He promised secure border. That's exactly what we're doing.

66
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: The reluctance from the Democrats to embrace that we deserve

67
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 3: a border, that Americans deserve to be protected and to

68
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 3: be prioritized over illegal aliens.

69
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: They always been this way because it feels.

70
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 3: Like they just keep running headlong into this paradigm where

71
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: illegal aliens are more important than American citizens.

72
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: I can't fully understand it. I've never seen it like this.

73
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, last night I was shocked.

74
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: I wasn't surprised, but I was shocked. They actually sat

75
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: during the President Trump's said, you know, put American citizens

76
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 4: ahead of illegal aliens. Stand up to support that. I

77
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: was shocked that they were sitting there. They were sitting there, yeah,

78
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 4: to show the American people that as a representative Congress,

79
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 4: as a Senator or congressman, I do not support American

80
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 4: citizens over earlygal aliments. That tells you everything that at all. No,

81
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: they've lost their minds. I mean, I've been doing this

82
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 4: forty years. I worked for six different presidents. I've worked

83
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: with Democrat presidents and Republican presidents. Back in my day

84
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: with Obama, I got that, I got the Presidential Rank

85
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: Award for Distanguished Services for removing a record number of

86
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: illegal aliens. Now they call Ice the Nazis and CASTOPO

87
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 4: for doing the same thing we did in obamamdministration. Yes,

88
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: it's just I've never seen this bad, and I think

89
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 4: the American people see it too.

90
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: And in the response, Abagails Hamburger, Democrat in Virginia governor,

91
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: called out ICE agents for wearing masks.

92
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: Can you please clarify why do ICE agents wear masks?

93
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 4: Because they are threats death threats up over eight thousand percent,

94
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: actual assaults over fourteen And look, not only are the

95
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: docks in the agents, they're docs and their wives and

96
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 4: kids or their spouses. And I know for a fact,

97
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 4: I mean I got death threats because my wife and kids.

98
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: They said, we're going to kill your wife and kids.

99
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 4: So you live the rest of your life knowing that

100
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: because you did what you did with the Titus administration,

101
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: you're going to self rest your leg The director of ICE,

102
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 4: they've filmed this wife walking to work. They got the

103
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 4: kids on social media. They're not just atacking ICE slarters

104
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: attacking their families for Yeah, they weren't a mask protect

105
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: themselves from this doc sing and assault in their families.

106
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: And you know Commress wants a mask taken on then

107
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 4: past the mix of fling in the docks and ICE

108
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 4: agent protect our agents. And they say, well, other law

109
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 4: enforcement don't wear a mask. Tell me another law enforce

110
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 4: ac that has an eight thousand percent increase in thought tricks.

111
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: There isn't so yes, Ice is acting differently. I don't

112
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 4: like masks either, but the situation in right now, it

113
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 4: calls to them protect themselves in their family.

114
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: It's so important.

115
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: I want to turn back to the United States in

116
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: a moment, but I've got to get your thoughts on

117
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: taking out Elmento in Mexico. Just one of the baddest

118
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: terrorists in the world, someone who is intraly involved in

119
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: the smuggling that takes place, even in drugs from Mexico

120
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: in the United States. My first thought is who do

121
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: you credit that successful mission with? Is it just the

122
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: Mexican military personnel or does President Trump share it?

123
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: In?

124
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: A lot of the credit there I doing.

125
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: Trump deserve the majority of the credit because look, I've

126
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 4: been doing this a long time. The Mexican government has

127
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 4: failed to take on the cartels for decades, right they

128
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 4: know I don't Number one, they never had the world power.

129
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: I don't think they failed for forty years. I've been around.

130
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 4: I think the President of Trump's leadership, our intelligence capabilities

131
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 4: led to that arrest. And we're not done. President Trump

132
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 4: does it may these cartels terrorist organizations and he's going

133
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: to do everything ne kill to wipe them off the

134
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: face of the ear.

135
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 3: So one thing that's that I want to connect with

136
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: what you just mentioned about the ICE agents, how they're

137
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: going after wives and children. What do the cartel do

138
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: after I mentioned got taken out. They start terrorizing the tourists,

139
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 3: They start terrorising the people in the neighborhood.

140
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: That is terrorism.

141
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: They're trying to make it so that well, if you

142
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: come after us, then we're going to torture innocence.

143
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: That should get people fired up. Yet I hadn't seen

144
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: that framed up that way.

145
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 4: Well, they're not. They're putting politics over public stakes. Look, yeah,

146
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: a big part of the media they hate President Trump. Yeah,

147
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 4: it's politics over common sense. They don't want to see

148
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: him have a win. Well, guess what, we're winning every day.

149
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 4: And I tell you what if the terrorist organization, the

150
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 4: drug cartells harmony US citizen, God help him because their

151
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 4: president is going to rain hell down on him. And

152
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 4: though wish it, but I remembered back in the early

153
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: eighties they tortured and murdered DEA agents. Yeah, keeping keeping

154
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 4: camera on full force of US intelligence law enforcement rained

155
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: down on Mexico and what happened. They turned over the

156
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 4: people who calls that God help the cartels if they're

157
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: going to harm Americans. There's threats against Borg Patrol doing

158
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 4: something on the border. Hope that got it doesn't happen.

159
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: It will be the worst thing they could ever do,

160
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: because all hell was gonna break loose on them.

161
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: My biggest fear is that even though we have a

162
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: successful mission against almnhow that the cartels just can swap

163
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: him in the interchangeable.

164
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: Do you think he was a uniquely bad guy and this.

165
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: Could be a longer standing win or do you feel

166
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: like the cartel is going to regroup ahead of a

167
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: high drab cut it off REGOs.

168
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: They're going to try to regroup and just you know,

169
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: President Trump destroyed ISIS and they you know, after you

170
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 4: got office, they group, right. So look, he was the

171
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 4: most prolific, dangerous cartel leader, yeah, in the world. Yeah,

172
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 4: took out took out the Kingpig. But he doesn't stop there.

173
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: I know every day in this building you're standing at, Yeah,

174
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 4: we got nassial security specialists, Yes, intelligence specialists looking to

175
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: identify who the cartels are, where they're operating, where their

176
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 4: labs are there's much more to come. Just watch what

177
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: happens in that couple of years.

178
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: We're looking forward to it, and it is sometimes you

179
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: never know.

180
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: Because I was thinking about the Solarmani attack from the

181
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 3: first administration, I don't think Ron's been the same, So

182
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 3: there is sometimes you get a big guy and things

183
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: really do change in a remarkable way. So we had

184
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: our fingers crossed there. I want to ask you next

185
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: about the data. The President laid out some stark data

186
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: basically no border crossings. And then of course some of

187
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: the economic stuff are all the job growth coming back

188
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: to Americans. But we're making the border ridiculously safe. What

189
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 3: have you heard from agents down there at the border?

190
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: Is life just completely changed or absolutely?

191
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 7: Man?

192
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 4: We went from teen thousand crosses the day and yesterday

193
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 4: we had one hundred and sixty that appeared at the

194
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 4: border and all were arrested and removed. Forty came to remove.

195
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: Nobody released in the last almost ten months now, No

196
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: no illego Ana has been released from the board.

197
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: Yes, that is that is never heard of.

198
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 4: Right, I went down there. I just got back from

199
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 4: a trip three weeks ago. I went on the border

200
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 4: in California in Arizona, Texas, Texas, Texas, and New Mexico

201
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: by boat, by forward, drive, by plant three days, I

202
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 4: didn't see a single illegal animal. I've done for forty years,

203
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 4: since time thirty two, I've never seen the most secure

204
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 4: border in history of the nation. In the data person.

205
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 4: President Trump's right, having a secure board increased our national

206
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 4: security profile. Strong border means stronger national security. A strong

207
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 4: boarder means less fat and all over those tests, it

208
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 4: means less no spectacterians. That means less sex traffic.

209
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 2: Than women children.

210
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 4: President Trump's literally saving thousands of lives by securing that board.

211
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: So you're a non partisan guy, as far as I

212
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 3: can see, you just care about Americans.

213
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: Being safe and secure, trying to keep peace.

214
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 3: What is the message to people who might not be

215
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: this is I have mostly conservative audience, but just people

216
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: in general who don't understand where people like us come from.

217
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: Where we think a secure border is the best thing

218
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 3: for Americans and a good thing for the world in general,

219
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 3: because it does not indulge with cartel that whole economy

220
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: that they have to engage in nefarious behavior to make

221
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: money off of it.

222
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: What's the message to normal people who are need clarity

223
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: of this matter.

224
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: A secure border saves lives. Look, people say that the

225
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 4: drug administration in humane. The Biden administration is much more humane. Yeah,

226
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 4: a bunch of crap. Over four thousand aliens died making

227
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 4: that journey inner Joe Biden, historic quicker. A quarter million

228
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: Americans died from ftannyl come across an open border, a

229
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: historic quaker. His policies were killing aliens at record members

230
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: killing Americans are recognimbers. President Trunk has illegomal grason on

231
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 4: ninety six percent wish ninety six percent less people are coming.

232
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 4: Studies have been done at thirty one percent of women

233
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 4: and make that journey through the cartels getting raped. So

234
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: when President Trump has ninety six percent less people coming,

235
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 4: how many women are being raped? How many problems of

236
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 4: fatanol doesn't come across the border killing Americans? How many

237
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 4: women and children aren't being sex tribe? How many billions

238
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 4: of dollars is a cartel not making President Trump's again,

239
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 4: secure border saves lives? Illegal immigration is not a victim

240
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: of crime. You don't cross that border without paying off

241
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 4: the criminal cartels who would control the posits, the areas

242
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 4: where the smaller people secure border saving lives. The data

243
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 4: proves that just understand illigal greates. I'll say it over overga.

244
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: It is not a victimist crime. People think, well, they

245
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 4: just come to the country for a better life. We

246
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: don't understand the whole process comes here and while these

247
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 4: people come across the border for a better life, entering illegally,

248
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: they cheated the system. They're cheaters. There are millions of

249
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 4: people in this world or taking her tests, paying their fees,

250
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 4: bring the background investigation to be part of the greatest

251
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 4: nation on earth. How about them? They're sitting in the

252
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 4: backseat while many people are in Joe Biden cheated and

253
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 4: putting selfs in from the line. We're a nation. We're

254
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 4: the most giving nation in the world. We're aalt more

255
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 4: refugees than other nations in the world. We gotta do

256
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 4: legal immigration because we got to control what and who

257
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 4: comes in this country. Do it the right way. You

258
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: want to be part of the greatest nation on earth,

259
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 4: then don't break our laws.

291
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: which is not.

292
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 3: We got to cover yourself neutrally though, so that's a

293
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: but you've been so good to us, communicating with us.

294
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 3: Incredible night last night, and this is one of my

295
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 3: favorite nights in general.

296
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: Good, bad or ugly. But the President's really good at this.

297
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: You're there highlights for you.

298
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 8: Look, this is the president in his element.

299
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 6: This is about American exceptionalism on a world stage, and

300
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 6: that's what we saw.

301
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 8: He started with the economy.

302
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 6: This is why he was elected to solve Bidenomics, and

303
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 6: that's what he's doing and he delivered that extremely well.

304
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 6: And then he rolled into our standing as a nation

305
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 6: as secure nation, a nation of laws, of standing up

306
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 6: against the invasion of a legal immigrants. And then he

307
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 6: stood on a world stage and said, we're solving wars

308
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 6: and he named them off. And yet for every policy

309
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 6: cutting taxes for hard working Americans, for securing our borders,

310
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 6: for standing strong on a world stage, Democrats stayed in

311
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 6: their street seats. And so this was a study and

312
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 6: contrast where you could see the strength of America was

313
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 6: standing on the right side of the aisle and on

314
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 6: the left side they wanted to give our country away.

315
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you could tell the intention was to draw that contrast.

316
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: The format was pretty brilliant, laying out the things that

317
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: are going well, saying that we had overcome certain things

318
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: from the past administration, all of which were accurate. And

319
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: then he did something that was really deliberate where he

320
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: brought all these horror stories from people who suffered from

321
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: policies or prior administrations, and then positive stories of people

322
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: who are benefiting from his policies.

323
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: Were there any that really stuck out to you?

324
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, Irena Zaruska's mom. You know the

325
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 6: fact that she was there weeping over the law of

326
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 6: her daughter at the hands of an illegal immigrant, and

327
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 6: the Democrats stayed in their seats of a recidivist criminal.

328
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 6: And look, this is the contrast. This is why President

329
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 6: Trump was elected. It's why we have to continue to

330
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 6: crack down on criminal, illegal aliens and get them out

331
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 6: of the country.

332
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 8: And Americans feel that.

333
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 6: But also you look at the war heroes, the one

334
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 6: hundred year old veterans, and this is the strength of America.

335
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 6: And I loved at the end where he drew the

336
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 6: comparison to one hundred years prior Thomas Jefferson drew his

337
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 6: last breath on July fourth.

338
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 8: We're a young nation. We're still building this nation.

339
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 6: We have to fight for the strength of this nation,

340
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 6: be it economic, be it national security, or are standing

341
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 6: on a world stage.

342
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 8: And we're in this fight every single day.

343
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 6: And that's the stakes of what's happening in twenty twenty six,

344
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 6: because we have just gotten started.

345
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 8: This is keep in mind, this is one year in.

346
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 6: We're reversing four horrible years under Biden where they gave

347
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 6: everything away.

348
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 8: So there's real work to do. And this was a

349
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 8: call to act by the President.

350
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was really that's a really profound point.

351
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: I spent a little time with the President yesterday in

352
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 3: the run up to the speech, and one thing that

353
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: I could tell he was thinking about is he doesn't

354
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 3: think of himself as an old person.

355
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: He doesn't think of our country as a country that's

356
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: slowing down. He thinks of us as a country that

357
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,239
Speaker 2: should be speeding up and ramping up.

358
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 3: And I don't know if that's the message of every

359
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: average American feels right now, when you certainly want your

360
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: president to feel that way, Well.

361
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 6: He does, and he believes in it like no other

362
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 6: president we've ever had. And you see it in the policies.

363
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 6: And this is the fallacy of what Democrats talk about

364
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 6: when they say that he's not helping the economy.

365
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 8: Everything he's doing is to help the economy.

366
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 6: Be it the one big beautiful bill, to invest in

367
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 6: main street innovation, growth, restoring American industrial dominance, bringing back

368
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 6: the American worker. All of these things are to build

369
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 6: what we built in the first two fifty for the

370
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 6: next two fifty and to continue to lead the world

371
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 6: in innovation, technology, manufacturing culture. And that's what's exciting about

372
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 6: this moment is we're all part of this moment that

373
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 6: is pivotal in the entire world's history. Because again, the

374
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 6: world comes to America when there's challenges and we have

375
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 6: to be ready to solve them.

376
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: And you touched on the traps that he laid where

377
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: he gave issues. He introduced things that are they're not

378
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 2: eighty twenty, they're not even ninety ten, they're almost one

379
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 2: hundred zero. Issues like standing for Arenas or Ritzka's mom.

380
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: And when he called them the Democrats to stand if

381
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 2: you think that American citizens are more important than illegally

382
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: leaguing criminals. However, how are we framed it?

383
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 3: This is one where all of us who are capable

384
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 3: of having a coherent thought agree in these and yet

385
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 3: the Democrats didn't stand. He just created all this incredible

386
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: contents can be us against Democrats in the midterms that

387
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 3: I'd be pretty profound in the room to see that stuff.

388
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 6: It was profound. And then you'd see a five year

389
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 6: old girl who was slammed into by a driver, a

390
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 6: legal immigrant, this criminal alien that almost took her life.

391
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 8: And to the fact that they could not stand and.

392
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 6: Honor that little girl in the family and all they've

393
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 6: been through is stark and it's shocking. And this is

394
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 6: what Democrats stand for now, And like you say these

395
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 6: are like one hundred zero issues. But because the leadership

396
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 6: and their party has become so radical, because of this

397
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 6: Democrat socialist regime, they have to bow to illegal immigrants,

398
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 6: breaking the law, criminal recidibus tax increases just to grow

399
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 6: big government and lawlessness.

400
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: So your portfolio, small business, what in the speech you

401
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 3: then give touches on those things that.

402
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 2: You're working on day to day.

403
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 6: Well, I'm so glad the President got to come to

404
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 6: Georgia last week because he saw it firsthand working family

405
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 6: tax cuts. Think about the impact of this on families

406
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 6: and small businesses. It's an estimated four to six trillion

407
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 6: dollars in tax savings for workers and for our industry.

408
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 6: Had that bill not passed, all the tax refunds that

409
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 6: Americans are going to be getting in the next couple

410
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 6: of months. You know, a thousand or more Democrats voted

411
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 6: against that because they want to keep the money in

412
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 6: the government for big government growth, for fraud, and to

413
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 6: drive the rampant inflation that they drove over the last

414
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 6: four years. But instead, what I see on main Street

415
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 6: now is these job creators doubling the size of their manufacturing.

416
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 6: Most manufacturers in America meet this small business definition. So

417
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 6: these are the machining shops, the ones that are building

418
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 6: our defense industrial What.

419
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: Is it, by the way, that's really important. What is

420
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: the definition? Yeah, what means a small business?

421
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 6: So generally it's five hundred employees or less, and then

422
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 6: there's some net worth standards.

423
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 8: But for manufacturing, you can have up.

424
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 6: To fifteen hundred employees in some cases and still meet

425
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 6: that small business definition.

426
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 8: And so I've visited hundreds of.

427
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 6: Factories and they're building our defense, our aerospace, our food manufacturing,

428
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 6: are pharmaceutical. This is these are small rural communities that

429
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 6: have a local manufacturer that provides most of the jobs

430
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 6: in the tax space. This is what President Trump is

431
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 6: rebuilding because over the last thirty forty years, it was

432
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 6: hollered out. We lost seventy thousand factories, five to ten

433
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 6: million manufacturing jobs, good paying jobs with good benefits, and

434
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 6: we hauloed out our heartland. And so President Trump's rebuilding

435
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 6: that and he is so proud to stand with the

436
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 6: American worker.

437
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: It was such a mature speech for him because one

438
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 3: of the things I note is most proud of is

439
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 3: his foreign policy national security achievements. And I'm sure a

440
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: lot of his occupying his attention right now is that

441
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 3: stuff as well, with the successful attack and now mencho

442
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 3: in Mexico and we had this huge military build up

443
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 3: in Iran, China, loans over everything.

444
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 2: But that was not the focus.

445
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 3: He really did spend most of the speech trying to

446
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 3: talk about how he's going to.

447
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: Make life more affordable for Americans. If he succeeds, that

448
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: could be the difference between the midterm win and not.

449
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 8: That's right.

450
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 6: I mean, look, this is about restoring the economy to

451
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 6: where it was during his first term, and he did

452
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 6: such a great job with a big tax cuts bill,

453
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 6: we reached record employment. Then we are back to record

454
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 6: employment today. And it's not on the back of government employment.

455
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 6: I mean, at the SBA, we've cut our agency employment

456
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 6: by fifty four percent. Incredible, We've cut billions of dollars

457
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 6: out of spending. This is going on across the entire

458
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 6: federal government. That means the private sector, free enterprise that

459
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 6: built this name that he talked about, the soaring nation

460
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 6: that we built all on free enterprise and capitalism. That's

461
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 6: what we're getting back to, not big government socialism.

462
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 2: Right, So, what do you think are the main takeaways?

463
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: From the speech for people who might benefit from the policies.

464
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 5: You're working on.

465
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, first of all, the economy.

466
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 6: This economy is now under control instead of out of

467
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 6: control spending. We've already seen deficit reduction, budget debt reductions.

468
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 8: Look, export records.

469
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 6: We are now exporting at record levels three hundred billion

470
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 6: last year in one month, broken all time record. We're

471
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 6: making things and shipping them around the world. We're making

472
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 6: sure that people have affordability back in their lives by

473
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 6: cutting core inflation. Look the last three months one point

474
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 6: seven percent core inflation. That's the lowest level in ten years.

475
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 6: That's after Biden's rampant twenty one percent total cumulative inflation

476
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 6: crushed families. It's going to take time to get back

477
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 6: from that. The president knows that. But this isn't all

478
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 6: Ofverman approach, so prices will be coming down. And he's

479
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 6: working on home ownership. Yeah, he's making affordability and home

480
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 6: ownership to make the homes available to buyers, not to

481
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 6: Wall Street.

482
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 3: Let's talk about that, because he introduced something that was

483
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 3: pretty new, which he really wants to crack down on

484
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: corporations buying single family homes, which I think I'm a capitalist,

485
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: but I'm a populist too, and the populist side of

486
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 3: me wins out in that one.

487
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 8: I like it absolutely.

488
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 6: Look, big companies have access to capital markets that individual

489
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 6: home buyers don't have, so their cost of capital is

490
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 6: much lower. So we have to preserve home buying opportunities

491
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 6: for young people and families that are just starting out.

492
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 6: And that look, this is again getting the Biden policies

493
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 6: under control. So that's just one example. And then look

494
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 6: at drug prices. I mean President Trump immediately took ownership

495
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 6: of that. We're lowering the cost of prescription drugs through

496
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 6: Trump Orex and so.

497
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 8: Many other things.

498
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 6: In the one big beautiful bill held savings accounts we

499
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 6: haven't even talked scratched the surface Trump accounts putting money

500
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 6: back in the hands of people instead of the government

501
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 6: or health consurers.

502
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: He also talked about he wants to do more tax cuts.

503
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: He was sort of unspecific about what that will look like.

504
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 3: But I think this is at a minimum smart framing,

505
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 3: because when there's affordability issues, to get Democrats to say

506
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: we don't want to give you more of your money

507
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 3: back is I think it's another good trap he set.

508
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: But do you any detail on that, because I tried

509
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 3: to press them on that a little bit and really

510
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 3: get very far.

511
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 8: I don't.

512
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 6: But look, the President believes that it's best for Americans

513
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 6: to be in control of their wallet and not the government.

514
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 6: And we see what happens when the government has too

515
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 6: much money, the rampant waste, fraud and abuse. I mean,

516
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 6: look at what we found at the SBA in California,

517
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 6: nine billion dollars of fraud that the Biden administration tried

518
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 6: to sweep under the rug and forgive, and we're prosecuting it.

519
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 6: Minnesota fourner and thirty million. So this is what's happening

520
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 6: in every agency. We're going back and saying we're eliminating

521
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 6: fraud and abuse in the government.

522
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: So the fire STUFT didn't really come up. If it did,

523
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: I did miss it. You're working really hard in Los

524
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: Angeles to try to help a leg get back at

525
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: its feet. I think the stakes are also very high there.

526
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: I think it's a huge opportunity to dunk on the

527
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: incompetent leadership that I have to endure day to day

528
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 3: as a resident.

529
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: But what do you think is what's the focus there?

530
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 6: Well, Leezelden and I were out there a few weeks ago,

531
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 6: and look, here's what's going on in California. The leaders

532
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 6: are looking the other way for the problems that are

533
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 6: happening for the last year after the wildfires in California,

534
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 6: not doing anything. So the President took some leadership steps

535
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 6: there to say we're going to speed permitting.

536
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 8: But let's be clear, California has so.

537
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 6: Many problems that this government has itself induced, not having

538
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 6: controlled burns, spending money well on infrastructure, allowing waste and

539
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 6: abuse for those programs to be wasted. So citizens are

540
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 6: losing confidence in that government. They're leaving in droves. Something

541
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 6: like a quarter million California residents left last year. So

542
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 6: people are not even sure they want to rebuild. And

543
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 6: that's the challenge.

544
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: It just shocking that Newsom would try to run for

545
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: president on that record. I'll just set this and Karen Bessie, yeah,

546
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: and she was almost on Biden saigations. I'm sure shocking stuff. Okay,

547
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 2: So I got to ask because you're here. So, so

548
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: you're a female sports executive WWA team owner, and I

549
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: want to get your sense of was the US women's

550
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 2: hockey team spurn How do you think they handled the

551
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: I guess feeling slided to some degree. Can sounds like

552
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 2: they're going to boycott the White House. And then Trump

553
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: said yesterday they are going to come to the White House.

554
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: I don't I didn't follow that closely, But what do

555
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: you think is really going on?

556
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, go team USA to have the

557
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 6: men's and women's that was huge.

558
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: Both gold medal wines.

559
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 8: Not to make unbelievable. I was at the gold medal game.

560
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: How stressful for ourselves, it's amazing, and really trying to

561
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 2: stress ourselves out over nothing.

562
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 6: Well, I think that was a media lie right there,

563
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 6: a liberal media lie. So look the women, you know,

564
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 6: they said they have to get back to school and

565
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 6: obligations around their professional they want to come to the

566
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 6: White House. But look, the men's team came straight there.

567
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 6: The timing worked out perfect, and now they've got to

568
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 6: get back to their games.

569
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 8: The women are coming. I don't think there's any controversy there.

570
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 6: The President invited them straight away, So this is a

571
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 6: great opportunity for the women to promote their league, and

572
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 6: I think hopefully they will take the President up on

573
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 6: it at their earliest convenience.

574
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they should I think it's one of

575
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: the three sixty wins there. I think it's a really

576
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 2: bad luck huge to be there if they don't. Yeah, okay.

577
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: So the other thing that came of a lot was

578
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: a trans staff in women's sports, which is another one

579
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 2: where how is it better for women if men win

580
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 2: all their sports? I think it just seems like another one.

581
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: How are we even debating this in this country? Completely insane.

582
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 6: Well, I think there's a void of leadership in women's

583
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 6: sports right now, where the professional women's sports teams aren't

584
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 6: saying standing up for girls and saying we do not

585
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 6: need boys on the court or in the locker room.

586
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 6: And so there's a void there. But President Trump drew

587
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 6: the line. He said we are not going to have

588
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 6: boys girls' locker rooms or in their sports teams. And

589
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 6: they had an example last night, a tragic example, but

590
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 6: one of a recovery where a young person, you know,

591
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 6: she had been forced into transitioning by her school.

592
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 8: This is what's happening in schools.

593
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 6: This is why strong leadership, unapologize leadership in Washington by

594
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 6: Republicans is so critical, because the sports leagues aren't standing

595
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 6: up for it.

596
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: So we have to take action, Kelly Lefler, small business administrator,

597
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: anything else you want to make sure it gets out

598
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: there today.

599
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 6: Well, look, this is a great time in America that

600
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 6: the best is yet to come, but things are getting better.

601
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 6: We know what needs to be done to restore this

602
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 6: nation from Bidenomics, and we're getting there. And I couldn't

603
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 6: be more proud to be part of President Trump's cabinet

604
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 6: and we're going to continue to work every day for

605
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 6: the American people.

606
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: All Right, Jerry.

607
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 3: Secretary Doug Bergham is with your fan favorite here at

608
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 3: Brightburn News a secretary. We don't have nearly enough times

609
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: I like today, but I just want to hear you

610
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 3: were in the gallery yesterday we say the Union.

611
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: It was pretty historic speech. What were the highlights for you?

612
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, President Trump, right now most powerful

613
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 9: leader in the world, delivered an incredibly powerful speech. I

614
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 9: mean looking back over our first two hundred and fifty years,

615
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 9: but painting a picture. There was optimistic, forward looking, challenging

616
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 9: Congress on I think eight different specific pieces of legislation

617
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 9: enli like in the past, and so it was courageous

618
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 9: what he was doing.

619
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 5: It was patriotic.

620
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 9: I mean, it's not just the having the hockey team there,

621
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 9: the gold medal winners. But when you go to a

622
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 9: speech like that, you know it's going to be incredible,

623
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 9: but you don't know that you're going to be sitting

624
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 9: in on two Congressional Medal of Honor award ceremonies. I

625
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 9: mean literally getting opening up for America to see what

626
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 9: is normally a private event.

627
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 5: And my dad served in World War Two.

628
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 9: Here you got a guy that's one hundred years old

629
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 9: that served in World War Two getting the medal along

630
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 9: with someone who just weeks ago is one of the

631
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 9: heroes of the Maduro arrest. You know, brilliantly executed, brilliant speech,

632
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 9: and I think again paints an incredible picture for how

633
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 9: much he cares about every a.

634
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: So I was in a meeting with the President and

635
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 3: he was singing your prais This is off record, so

636
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: I'll stop there. But he did say my oil guys

637
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 3: are great, and he's referring to you as secretary, right,

638
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 3: And so a lot of what she's trying to do

639
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: is come up with creative ways to get revenue for

640
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 3: our country without having to tax people more, which is

641
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: I can't believe no one ever thought of that then

642
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 3: we'd come up with other ways than just putting a

643
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: gun to your head and taking more of your money

644
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: to update us on the agenda, the deregulation agenda, that

645
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 3: tapping our own resources agenda.

646
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 9: From your vantage point, well, President Trump, it's fantastic having

647
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 9: a business person as president. Yeah, because we take the

648
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 9: Department of Interior, probably the most misnamed department in all

649
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 9: of government, because we have five hundred million acres of land,

650
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 9: seven hundred million acres of subservice rich with minerals, whether

651
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 9: it's oil and gas, critical minerals, clean beautiful coal. We've

652
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 9: got three billion of offshore acres, including all the Gulf

653
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 9: of America and everything from America's Samoa to the US

654
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 9: Virgin Island because all the territories are also part of Interior.

655
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 9: So we have this enormous resource standalone. If the Interior

656
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 9: is a stand alone company, be the largest balance sheet

657
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 9: in the world. President Trump understands what a balance sheet is,

658
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 9: and he also understands that under Biden, that balance sheet

659
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 9: was producing less and less revenue every year because like,

660
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 9: let's not cut a tree, let's not raise a cow,

661
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 9: Let's have no oil and gas lease sales. We've turned

662
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 9: that whole thing around, because these were lands and resources

663
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 9: that are put away for the benefit of the use

664
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 9: the American people. I'm not talking about national parks or

665
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 9: wilderness areas. I'm talking about the general public land like

666
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 9: in the Bureau of Land Management, who's meant to produce revenue.

667
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 5: So getting our balance sheet going and getting revenue up

668
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 5: so you don't have to raise taxes.

669
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,959
Speaker 9: President Trump gets that, and that's why again record dollars

670
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 9: flowing in. More money has come in to Interior through

671
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 9: some of these lease sales in one year than did

672
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 9: in the four years that Biden was in office. So

673
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 9: all of that helps balance the budget, helps make America

674
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 9: more affordable for Americans.

675
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 5: Of course, President Trump.

676
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 9: Loves the idea because he understands energy is a a

677
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 9: component of you know, not just the car you drive,

678
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 9: but the food you eat, close on your back, the

679
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 9: home you heat energy, Energy drives in all the other prices.

680
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 5: When we get energy down, it makes America more affordable.

681
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: So one of the things I think he was doing

682
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 3: was appealing to particularly the younger American sense of adventure,

683
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: and they're renewing the idea that we could work with

684
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 3: our hands and to try to mint a new class

685
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 3: of millionaires doing that sort of thing. That'd be music

686
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: to your ears because these are all people who could

687
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: come to work in your field and your sector instead

688
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 3: of going into some sort of a classroom and learning

689
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 3: and you know, women and gender studies degrees.

690
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: They're going to be out there trying to go for

691
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: a real adventure.

692
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 5: Well they are.

693
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 9: And of course when we think about the trade craft,

694
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 9: these are all really high tech jobs. I mean, if

695
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 9: you're going to be an electrician today, if you're going

696
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 9: to be a plumber today, if you're going to be,

697
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 9: you know, a heavy equipment operator. I mean, I'm just

698
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 9: driving along in North Dakota. When I was a governor

699
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 9: with the guys that are driving snowplows. He felt like

700
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 9: you were in the flight deck of a seven forty

701
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 9: seven with a lot of the equipment in there. And

702
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 9: you know, oil and gas it's a high tech industry.

703
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 9: I mean, you go into a drill shack and it's

704
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 9: like white lab coats and computers. It's not you know,

705
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 9: Daniel day Lewis and oils fooling all over like in

706
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 9: the movie There will be blood. And I'm talking to

707
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 9: some twenty five year old kid in North Dakota. They

708
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 9: got to go down two miles, turn a corner, and

709
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 9: go two miles horizontally through a thirty foot strip of rock.

710
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 9: And the kid says to me, sir, if your house

711
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 9: was two miles down and two miles over, I could

712
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 9: drill the lock out on the front door. That is

713
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 9: the oil and gas industry in America today. So all

714
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 9: of these jobs just screaming for people to join it.

715
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 9: And then we killed mining in this country. We've got

716
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 9: to get back in the mining business. We gave that

717
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 9: all the way to China. China's using it as a

718
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 9: stranglehold on our economy and on the whole world. We

719
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 9: graduated three hundred mining and metallurgical degrees last year in

720
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 9: America thirty we gduated thirty six thousand lawyers.

721
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 5: Okay, let's flip that around, because if.

722
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 9: Somebody's looking for a career and you want to have

723
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 9: permanent employment, yeah, you know, go into one of these

724
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 9: natural re sources career. Spend your life outside, spend your

725
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 9: life with high tech, spend your life making a difference.

726
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 9: Spend your life making America secure, reliable, and affordable.

727
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 5: That's what you get to do. I mean there's great

728
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 5: purpose in that work.

729
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 2: The last one, favorite moment from last.

730
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 5: Night, well, my favorite moment from last night might have

731
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 5: been this morning.

732
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 9: But the five year old girl that survived the horrific accident,

733
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 9: when when I was at the Fox studio this morning

734
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 9: early this morning, her family was there and she came

735
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 9: up to me and I got I got around the

736
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 9: neck hug from her, and that was And to see

737
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 9: her parents and her dad that was holding her up

738
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 9: last night, and to see this courageous little five year

739
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 9: old girl, I mean, it was both.

740
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 5: It's both your heart is.

741
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 9: Grieving because of the accident, but you're also inspired by

742
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 9: the courage of that family.

743
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 5: And that was that was a special moment.

744
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 2: He Trump is away, tell him those types of stories.

745
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 10: He does, he brings it home.

746
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 5: He brings home the depth of his care for every American.

747
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: Well, thank sure I was making time for Bright Partners.

748
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: Interior Secretary, do you Bergham? Creel's a hot topic right now,

749
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 2: and with so many opinions and emotions surrounding it, it

750
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 2: can feel hard to know where to start. Well, the

751
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 2: Bible tells us I will bless those who bless you.

752
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 2: That isn't a comforting promise. It's a clear calling from God,

753
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 2: and today, with anti Semitism rising around the world, that

754
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: calling is more urgent than ever. At a time when

755
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: Jewish communities are experiencing more hostility, more threats, and more

756
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 2: violence than ever, Christians have a powerful opportunity to respond

757
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: with God's love to say you are not alone. When

758
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: Christians choose to bless Israel, We're not entering a political issue.

759
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 2: We're honoring the root of our faith and standing against hatred.

760
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 2: Supporting Israel is more than a belief, it's a biblical mandate.

761
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 2: And by partnering with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,

762
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: you can push back against darkness and be a light

763
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: to God's people. Learn how you can bless Israel and

767
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 3: I'm joined by Secretary Linda McMahon, Education Secretary Secretary.

768
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: Nice to see you again. I got to tell you

769
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 2: I got to spend a little time with the President.

770
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

771
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: Day an off record setting and he was praising you

772
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: in an off record setting.

773
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 10: It's great to hear.

774
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he didn't have to. So obviously things highly

775
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 2: of what you're doing, which is trying to put yourself

776
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: out of a job while you send education back to

777
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 2: the States. I've got some specifics, but just give us

778
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: an update on how that's going.

779
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 5: Well.

780
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: I think it's going very well.

781
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 7: You know, we've been focusing this past year on what

782
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 7: the President is trying to do, and that is return

783
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 7: education to the States.

784
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 10: I mean, think about it.

785
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 7: A state education budget is funded at the state about

786
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 7: ninety percent. Only about ten percent comes from the federal government,

787
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 7: and the Department of Education does not control curriculum. We

788
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 7: don't buy books, we don't hire teachers, we don't do

789
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 7: any of that.

790
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 5: So what do we do.

791
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 7: We provide a channel for funding of money that is

792
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 7: appropriated by Congress to get back to the states. We

793
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 7: want to take the regulations away from that so that

794
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 7: teachers can be innovative in the.

795
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: Classroom, and that's really the goal. I think we're moving

796
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 2: a lot in that right direction.

797
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 3: So a lot of affordability issues that we're facing our

798
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 3: education related not I don't know if the main driving factor,

799
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 3: but it's certainly a factor for a lot of families.

800
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: They've taken a lot of loans for degrees, they don't

801
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 3: get them very far. And I know this has been

802
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: a subject for some of the tax cats that have

803
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 3: been proposed, trying to get people into either vocational education

804
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 3: or try to make it so that they have a

805
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 3: better plan for handling expensive student death. They could come

806
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 3: their way down the road for families. What are the

807
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 3: innovations that the President's recommending or have in place.

808
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 7: It is really a top priority of his. Do you

809
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 7: realize it about twenty three percent degrees leave people worse off. Yeah,

810
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 7: about forty three percent of graduate degree off leave them

811
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 7: worse off. So part of the goal really is to

812
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 7: make sure that we have different pathways. It's a different

813
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 7: way of looking at education.

814
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 8: In the past.

815
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 7: For many many years, we've felt you have to get

816
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 7: a four year degree. And we found that we have

817
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 7: a workforce shortage in our country. We're going to have

818
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 7: about two point one million shortage of workforce by twenty

819
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 7: thirty if we don't change some things of what we're doing.

820
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 7: And so the President has been working with you. We

821
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 7: got short term pael grants passed because that's going to

822
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 7: be very important so that people have access they don't

823
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 7: have to spend two years four years so they can

824
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 7: get a certificate or to be able to go into

825
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 7: the workforce.

826
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 3: So so break down that specifically because I know some

827
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 3: people in the audience will benefit from that directly well.

828
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 7: Workforce paill was part of the one big beautiful bill

829
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 7: that was passed. So now you can go to a

830
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 7: trade school or community college and there's shorter terms six weeks,

831
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 7: eight weeks, other times, short of the time you have

832
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 7: to be in the classroom. And these community colleges are

833
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 7: also or trade schools are working with high schools so

834
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 7: that students actually in high school now could be accessing

835
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 7: some of these programs. They can graduate with a dual credential,

836
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 7: their diploma from high school but also their certificate from

837
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 7: the community college, which they've gotten at no charge because

838
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 7: of that relationship.

839
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 10: So students going directly more into the.

840
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 7: Workforce, or they have the ability to go into the

841
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 7: community college, spend less time, and.

842
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 2: Get out into the workforce quicker.

843
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 10: So it's a win win.

844
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 2: This seems like such an essential thing for families.

845
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 3: I was just thinking about I have a personal friend

846
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: who got a Women's and Gender study degree and the

847
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 3: costs exactly the same as a step degree, and then

848
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 3: there's no money in it, and she took on a

849
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 3: mountain of debt and it's going to take decades to

850
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 3: be down.

851
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 2: So it's a big.

852
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 3: Hoax portrayed by the university. So how do we get

853
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 3: out of that mindset?

854
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's a culture.

855
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 7: Well it is a mindset, but I think we are slowly,

856
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 7: I think, evolving out of that culture because we're seeing

857
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 7: they're the fastest, fastest growing group of millionaires in the country.

858
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 10: Are trades people, our carpenters, you know.

859
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 2: Our hvac people, all of those.

860
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 7: So it is we can't look at it anymore like

861
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 7: it was a default position for education. You know, hey,

862
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 7: my kid wasn't smart enough to go to college, so

863
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 7: they'll become a trades person.

864
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 10: No, these are excellent, excellent jobs.

865
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 2: A lot of them involve AI technology, a lot of

866
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 2: them involve.

867
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 7: Very sophisticated, you know, manufacturing skills, and so these are

868
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 7: things that we can really train people for and they're

869
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 7: going to make really good money, have a very good living,

870
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 7: start their own businesses, do all of that and help

871
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 7: short work shortage work for shortage we see in the country.

872
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 3: How do we touch base with where we're at in

873
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 3: terms of keeping people prepare in terms of basic education.

874
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 3: It feels like the President is insides how he's disappointed

875
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 3: in some of our standardized testing scores and this is

876
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 3: just real deep down institutionals. Oh, a lot of a

877
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 3: culture from the unions, I think going easy on teachers.

878
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 3: But is a really complex problem and what are the

879
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 3: first steps that we're taking to try to address.

880
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 7: Us Well, what we're seeing. You know, these innovations are

881
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 7: being taken at the state level. I'm really really proud

882
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 7: to say that, because that's where innovation happens.

883
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 10: The state of Mississippi at the Mississippi.

884
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 7: Miracle, they got back to the science of reading, gone

885
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 7: back to teaching phonics, etc. Louisiana adopted the same program, Florida, Iowa, Tennessee, Texas,

886
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 7: and so these innovations are happening at the state level.

887
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 7: We're seeing these scores come up. Louisiana went from next

888
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 7: to last to about middle of the pack in just

889
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 7: about a year and a half. The President wasn't just disappointed,

890
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 7: he was angry when he saw those scores, the National

891
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 7: Report Card or NAPE scores. He said, this is the

892
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 7: greatest country in the world. How can we be failing

893
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 7: our students, you know, in educating them. You cannot force

894
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 7: education down from the central authority of the federal government.

895
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: It just doesn't work.

896
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 7: It's been tried with the best of intentions with no

897
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 7: child left behind, Core curriculum, Race to the top, and

898
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 7: all of them have merit and had good intentions, but

899
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 7: they just didn't work.

900
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: It has to start at the state level, at a

901
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 2: realistic level. It doesn't really start the home with families.

902
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 3: Also, because I just find that with my kids when

903
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 3: they're getting attention, they learn very quickly. When they're not

904
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 3: getting attention and you just leave it to the schools

905
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 3: and they go to decent schools, it just it feels

906
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 3: like that's not an off.

907
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 2: There needs to be attention that's paid and it can't

908
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: just be I think the teachers Union gives people the

909
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: impression that if you drop the kids off at school,

910
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 2: they should come back and that's all you.

911
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 10: Need to and they'll be educated.

912
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

913
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 7: I strongly stress anytime that I'm speaking with groups at all,

914
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 7: parental involvement.

915
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 2: You have to be involved in your school.

916
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 5: Well.

917
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 7: That was one of the silver linings of COVID that

918
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 7: parents for the first time saw a lot of the

919
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 7: curriculum that their students were being taught. But parental involvement,

920
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 7: you know, we have absentiism across the country. Parents have

921
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 7: to make sure their kids get to school, they have

922
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 7: to help check on their homework, they have to have

923
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 7: that involvement. And when we see that parental involvement, you know,

924
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 7: with students different than parents going and cheering from the

925
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 7: sideline when their kids are playing sports. Be involved in

926
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 7: what your kids are doing and they will have a

927
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 7: greater opportunity for success.

928
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 3: So America two fifty celebrating, do we come up with

929
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 3: a branding for it? I don't know if anyone did,

930
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 3: But this is a big moment to reflect in our history,

931
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 3: which is really amazing. It's interesting to spend time with

932
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 3: the president because.

933
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: He's very interested in our history, and I feel like

934
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: he sure likes that part of the office about how

935
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: that he always feels like he's learning something new historical

936
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: about the country. I love that approach, that attitude.

937
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 3: What do you do to make the most of this

938
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 3: year at this opportunity to kind of reflect on the amazing.

939
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 2: History that we have. We're doing a couple of things

940
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 2: a Department of Education.

941
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 7: One is called our History Rocks Tour, and I've been

942
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 7: now to about thirteen states. It's an assembly program that

943
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 7: happens in the schools. It's competitive questions about the decoration

944
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 7: of Independence and Constitution and specific questions.

945
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 10: Relative to state history, which and the kids in.

946
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 7: The auditorium are really enthusiastically embraced.

947
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:00,919
Speaker 2: They have a lot of fun.

948
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 7: They get some T shirts, they get hats, but really

949
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 7: it's the focus on civics and history. The other thing

950
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 7: is the Presidential seventeen seventy six Award for the seventy

951
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 7: seventeen seventy six Scholars and that competition is ongoing right now.

952
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 10: Kids.

953
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 7: We have over eight thousand kids that have registered online

954
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 7: to take the Impossible Test, and that test will finish

955
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 7: up on February twenty eighth, I think it is. Then

956
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,439
Speaker 7: we'll go from local to district competitions and finally it'll

957
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 7: wind up in Washington late June early July of this year.

958
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 7: And again we call it the Impossible Test because it's

959
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 7: ninety minutes over four thousand civics history.

960
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 10: Questions and how many can you get done and get

961
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 10: done right?

962
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 7: And in the end, the winner will be announced and

963
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 7: there's over two hundred thousand dollars in the scholarship awards

964
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 7: that'll happen right around you know, the big celebration in July.

965
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 10: So it's a really big focus. It's fun.

966
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 2: There's a website for this, right, yes, there is. Where

967
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 2: do we go from?

968
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 10: Just go you know what, if you go to the

969
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 10: ed ed dot gov, you can go over.

970
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 2: Okay, people should do that and even if you don't

971
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: get the scholarship, we're gonna learn a little bit.

972
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 7: About absolutely, and it's just fun. And the enthusiasm which

973
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 7: kids signed up for it, I think is really great.

974
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 3: So when you think what staffs you think are necessary,

975
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 3: so we don't need a Department of Education anymore, I

976
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 3: know that's part of the gig that you got going

977
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 3: to try to.

978
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 7: Well, you know what's in front of us. Before nineteen

979
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 7: eighty there was no Department of Education. Yes, and you

980
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 7: know people went to school. Funding always went to the states.

981
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 7: There wasn't any interruption. In fact, when the government shut

982
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 7: down a few weeks ago, for sure, nothing happened on

983
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 7: the local level relative to schools. So you know, I

984
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 7: really think that what we need to look at is

985
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 7: where a lot of the programs at rest now in

986
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 7: the Department of Education can best reside in other agencies

987
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 7: maybe where they used to be and operate more efficiently

988
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 7: without overlap, especially like Department of Labor. You realize there

989
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 7: were twenty three workforce programs across all the government.

990
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 10: That's just crazy. So we're trying to concentrate.

991
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 7: All of those workforce programs really in the Department of Labor,

992
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 7: moving out our will of programs, our octape programs into

993
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 7: the Department of Labor.

994
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 3: That's very interesting because a lot of we're trying to

995
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 3: get people into vocational work.

996
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 7: That's right then it should and this is being done

997
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 7: by signing an interagency agreement. It's our budget, it's our

998
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 7: people that we put over into the department to manage

999
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 7: it and to teach, you know, the program. But hopefully

1000
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 7: it's a proof of concept that this is a great

1001
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 7: place for these programs to reside.

1002
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 2: Okay, so a couple of questions to wrap up here.

1003
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 3: The first thing is the third parents are watching what

1004
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 3: should they be doing to keep an eye in their schools?

1005
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 3: I'm saying of realistic busy families are not going to

1006
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 3: necessarily be able to do a homeschool type situation. What

1007
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 3: do you think are really good steps they can do

1008
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 3: to make sure that they're or their teachers and their

1009
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 3: schools accountable and then they're productive members of their school community.

1010
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 10: Well, I urge parents to go to school board meetings.

1011
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 7: I think that that's one, Or to run for the

1012
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 7: school board, sure, because I think that's a great place

1013
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 7: where they can learn, you know, what's going on in

1014
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 7: their schools. Schedule conferences with teachers. I mean, I know

1015
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 7: that there are parent teacher conferences that happened to get

1016
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 7: an update on the progress that your children is making.

1017
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 7: But to be involved in what your children, what your

1018
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 7: children do, and take a look at their homework, it

1019
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 7: just I mean, it's it's astounding to me. I've looked

1020
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 7: at some of my grandchildren's homework now and it's so

1021
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 7: sophisticated but incredibly impressive. To look at what they are

1022
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 7: learning and studying.

1023
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 2: It was some of my question. So say the union,

1024
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 2: you were there, that was at the highlights for you?

1025
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 7: Well, I thought the president delivered a marvelously uplifting speech,

1026
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 7: but he also took opportunity which he should have, to

1027
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 7: tout the successes that he'd had during the first year

1028
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 7: of his administration.

1029
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 2: I'm very happy to hear that.

1030
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 7: I think that it was a very forward looking speech

1031
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 7: about you know, the access to the American dream and

1032
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 7: the things that he's putting in place to make that happen.

1033
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 2: That was very exciting. He just such a youthful approach

1034
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: he does. I just think that that's really inspires me personally.

1035
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 7: Well, it was very inspirational, especially the purple hearts, yes,

1036
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 7: the middle of honitors that it gave out, you know,

1037
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 7: during the evening, and some of the really heart you know,

1038
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 7: heartstring stories you know about you know, children who have

1039
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 7: been trafficked and the terrible incidents.

1040
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 10: Of the storms.

1041
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 7: But and he was able to bring in, you know,

1042
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 7: the young Coastguard rescuer for the schools in Texas. I

1043
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 7: thought that was so fartwarming and it was just it

1044
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 7: was a great vibe. I thought in the chamber last.

1045
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: Night, all right, last night, So you've put yourself out

1046

Speaker 10: Well, let's see what happens.
