Speaker 5: There are a lot of people that work very hard

00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 5: great people who sponsor our show too and make it

22
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 5: complimentary to you, like US medical plan dot com. My

23
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 5: friend John Roulman at US medical Plan dot com is

24
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 5: doing something with health insurance that there aren't many people

25
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 5: in the country doing, and that is plugging you in

26
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 5: into about one hundred or so different private health insurance

27
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 5: companies across the country to give you the very very

28
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 5: best rates. Now, listen, I understand that right now, particularly

29
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 5: this time of year, is when people are doing the

30
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 5: open enrollment thing and they are very very confused. If

31
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 5: you are a supplemental health insurance buyer with Medicare, there

32
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 5: are a lot of choices out there.

33
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: Are you getting the best rates? Hard to know?

34
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 5: John knows, though, You've just got to give him a

35
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 5: couple of minutes on the phone. It will take a

36
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 5: couple of minutes, but you will save money. And you

37
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 5: know how I know because my own parents have saved

38
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 5: hundreds of dollars a month with John Rouman at US Medical.

39
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: Plan dot com.

40
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 5: Now, if you are a small business owner and you'd

41
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 5: like to buy insurance for your employees, but you want

42
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 5: to save a buck or two, John knows exactly the

43
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 5: best rates on group insurance. You buy your own insurance

44
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 5: for your family in addition to employees, same deal. John's

45
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 5: got the best rates.

46
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: Do you know.

47
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,639
Speaker 5: I have a friend who just got Cobra through John

48
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 5: and saved about six hundred dollars a month versus what

49
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 5: she was being offered through her former employer. John knows

50
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 5: how to save you money and keep you covered in

51
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 5: health insurance.

52
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: But you've got to make the call.

53
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 5: Eight seven seven four one zero forty three twenty one

54
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 5: eight seven seven four one zero forty three twenty one

00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: not on fire?

59
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 5: As I said, I just don't think the rabid left

60
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 5: wing lesbian has the same constituency as George Floyd. I

61
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 5: continue to stand by that. What forty eight seventy two

00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: Open for you. What does that mean if you're new

68
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: to the show or you don't know what that is?

69
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 6: Now?

70
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 5: Rush Limbaugh, who I admire and respect and misses I

71
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 5: know so many millions do our little way of winking

72
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 5: and remembering, Rush is keeping his tradition of open line

73
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 5: tis Friday Alive, So if you would like to call

74
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: into the show and talk about whatever it is you want.

75
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: That was his rule on Friday was it.

76
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 5: Didn't have to be what the host was talking about.

77
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 5: It could be whatever was on your mind, which, as

78
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 5: he said, and he's right, is a tremendous career risk

79
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 5: to hand over the show. As he said to rank amateurs,

80
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 5: I love that. Just derail it if necessary. But today's

81
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 5: to day.

82
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: So if there's.

83
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 5: Something you have on your mind, come on in at

84
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 5: eight five five STI gaul all right. Jd Vance made

85
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 5: it abundantly clear yesterday this left wing kamikaze liberal crazy

86
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:44,559
Speaker 5: of taking vehicles and ramming them into ice agents, harassing, impuning,

87
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 5: impeding ice agents is not going to deter this president

88
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 5: from what he was elected to do. Give them number

89
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: Goosegg Paulie to get started the day. Fifty two hundred.

90
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: Here we go.

91
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 7: What I was actually walking out here, somebody sent me

92
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 7: a photo of a CNN headline about what happened in Minneapolis.

93
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 7: And this is the headline.

94
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: I'm just going to read it, outrage.

95
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 7: After ice officer kills US citizen in Minneapolis. Well that's

96
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 7: one way to put it and that is the way

97
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 7: that many people in the corporate media have put this

98
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 7: attack over the last twenty four hours. And I say

99
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 7: attack very very intentionally, because this was an attack on

100
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 7: federal law enforcement, This was an attack on law and order,

101
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 7: This was an attack on the American people. The way

102
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 7: that the media by and large has reported this story

103
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 7: has been an absolute disgrace, and it puts our law

104
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 7: enforcement officers at risk every single day.

105
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: What that headline leaves.

106
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 7: Out is the fact that that very ice officer nearly

107
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 7: had his life ended dragged by a car six months ago,

108
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 7: thirty three stitches in his legs, so you think maybe

109
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 7: he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with

110
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 7: an automobile. What that headline leaves out is that that

111
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 7: woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement

112
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 7: operation in the United States of America. What that headline

113
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 7: leaves out is that that woman has as part of

114
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 7: a broader left wing network to attack, to docks, to assault,

115
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 7: and to make it impossible for our ice officers to

116
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 7: do their job. If the media wants to tell the truth,

117
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 7: they ought to tell the truth that a group of

118
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 7: left wing radicals have been working tiresly, sometimes using domestic

119
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 7: terror techniques to try to make it impossible for the

120
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 7: President of the United States to do what the American

121
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 7: people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws.

122
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 7: The President stands with Ice, I stand with Ice, We

123
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 7: stand with all of our law enforcement officers. And part

124
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 7: of that is recognizing that you people in the media,

125
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 7: not everybody in this room, but many people in this

126
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 7: room have been lying about this attack. She was trying

127
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 7: to ram this guy with his with her car. He

128
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 7: shot back, he defended himself. He's already been seriously wounded

129
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 7: in law enforcement operations before. And everybody who's been repeating

130
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 7: the lie that this is some innocent woman who was

131
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 7: out for a drive in Minneapolis when a law enforcement

132
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 7: officer shot at her, you should be ashamed.

133
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: Of yourself, Bingo.

134
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 5: The Kamakazi leftist Jadie Bance may have been listening to

135
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: the show on the way into the office yesterday.

136
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, but glad he did it.

137
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 5: You know, there is this peculiar pattern that we find

138
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 5: ourselves seeing repeatedly over and over again. With Democrats talked

139
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 5: about it yesterday, when they are confronted with undeniable evidence

140
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 5: of their own misconduct. Whether it's this woman who unfortunately

141
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 5: lost her life, or whether it's the fraudsters in Minneapolis.

142
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: They don't repent, they don't reform, they don't even defend

143
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 5: themselves coherently. They just detonate. That's the new archetype that's

144
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 5: emerging in the age of Dose. I called it the

145
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 5: Kamakazi liberal. This is a political figure that is so

146
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 5: deeply invested in corrupt, opaque systems that, once exposed, self

147
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 5: preservation gives a way to total self destruction. It's all

148
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 5: you can describe it as self destruction. They're like doomed

149
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 5: pilots of a bygone war. They don't veer away from danger.

150
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 5: They just accelerate into it, betting that the spectacle of

151
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 5: the whole thing and the chaos or the moral outrage

152
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 5: will somehow obscure the truth from bearing down on them.

153
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 5: And I think that Doge is so much of this today.

154
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 5: I'm going to spend more time on this fraud. Today

155
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 5: we are having some economic boom news at the same time,

156
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 5: Doge continues to expose massive fraud. Waste was not merely cut, folks.

157
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: It demolished their cover. The left no longer has air

158
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 5: cover for this fraud. For decades, government fraud was dismissed

159
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 5: as an accounting quirk or some leakage that could be

160
00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 5: managed or narrated away or tolerated. It's been reframed accurately

161
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 5: raw power concealed in plain sight. And this week there

162
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 5: has been an attempt using this kamikazi leftist to try

163
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 5: to steer our attention away from it.

164
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: But it's not going to work on me.

165
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 5: Networks of non government organizations, grant pipelines, entitlement loopholes, whatever

166
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 5: you want to call it, shifting money, funneling money, not

167
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 5: accidents of bureaucracy. They were parallel systems of influence, and

168
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 5: they were deliberately created to deny scrutiny. Because scrutiny, of

169
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 5: course is cruel, right, it's harsh, it's mean. So doge

170
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 5: maps out where all this money is flowing, and panic ensues.

171
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 5: That's what we're watching this week from the left. Panic

172
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 5: exposure didn't just threaten budgets, it threatened the very authority

173
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 5: that was built on all this shadowy darkness. And their

174
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 5: response has never been humility, What's it been deflection and deceit,

175
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,239
Speaker 5: And that scumbag presiding all over it in Minnesota.

176
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: What does he do yesterday?

177
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 5: He basically tries to build this wall between Minnesota and

178
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 5: the federal government and act like they're the victims. We've

179
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 5: watched this pattern unfold in real time. Enforcement has been

180
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 5: relabeled as fascism. Audits are which hunts, accountability is heartlessness.

181
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 5: The perpetrators become the victims, and of course, when those

182
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 5: deflections failed, the rhetoric turns apocalyptic. The protests, the flirting

183
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 5: with defying federal law enforcement rather than fixing failure, each

184
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 5: move growing louder and riskier and more self destructive than

185
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 5: the last. It's kamakazi politics, folks. I don't know what

186
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 5: else you call it. And it's not because they misunderstand

187
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 5: the stakes. It's because they understand them perfectly. Minnesota is

188
00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 5: a textbook case.

189
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: This is a.

190
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 5: Doze driven fraud probing into billion dollar schemes, and its

191
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 5: sparking violent interference from people like this woman in her car,

192
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 5: hysterical protests, and gubernatorial signals of actually deploying state forces

193
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 5: against the federal government. Think of that all framed somehow

194
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 5: as compassion yet achieving only intensified scrutiny Scott Bessant was

195
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 5: right there in Minnesota yesterday. It was fascinating. You'll hear

196
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 5: from him in just a minute, threatening to pit state

197
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 5: authority against Uncle Sam from Tampon Tam. That's not leadership.

198
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 5: That's kamikaze delusion. Sacrificing tomorrow to shield yesterday is effectively

199
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 5: what that is. Doze has changed the battlefield, folks. It

200
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 5: didn't level accusations, it produced the receipts. And once these

201
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 5: transactions became traceable, the whole story collapsed. What passed for

202
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 5: waste revealed itself as an actual infrastructure. What was once

203
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 5: called mismanagement now found to be completely coordinated. Faced with daylight,

204
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 5: and that's what this is. Daylight the darkness. That's what

205
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 5: the Washington Posts used to call themselves. Right, democracy dies

206
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 5: in the darkness. They used to say, well, here's the daylight.

207
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 5: It's bright in Minnesota, faced with daylight. Reason has given

208
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 5: way to total panic. And that's what this is. And

209
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 5: I want you to know it. From Jacob Fry to

210
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 5: Tampon Tim to the entire Democrat Party, it is utter panic.

211
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 5: They got nothing, and they're trying to do it with

212
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 5: this storyline in Portland.

213
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: That's not going to work either.

214
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 5: More kamikazi leftists tried to use their cars as missiles

215
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 5: yesterday and they got killed. They're panicked, folks. Broken systems

216
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 5: were defended to the death. Fraud has been shielded, trust

217
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 5: torched in the Hope's spectacle would drown out the evidence.

218
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 5: But kamikazi tactics don't halt exposure with this president. Thankfully

219
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 5: they accelerated. Every outburst invites deeper scrutiny. Every threat triggers

220
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 5: stronger enforcement. Democrats don't offer principled resistance. They revealed desperation

221
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 5: with a tell sacrificing tomorrow to protect what they've been

222
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 5: doing yesterday. It's the kamikazi liberal and they're not losing

223
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 5: because Dosee as partisan. They're losing because of this shadowy

224
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 5: system they built. It was never designed to survive daylight.

225
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 5: We've never seen anything like this before. In an era

226
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 5: where power masquerades as compassion. Doze did something we've never seen.

227
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 5: It traced the money all the way back to its

228
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 5: political purpose. Corruption is coming into the daylight and Jdvans

229
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 5: made it clear yesterday they're not standing down for a minute.

230
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 5: Patty's in Tennessee to kick off open lind Friday today. Hello, Patty, welcome.

231
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 8: Aboard, Good morning.

232
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: How are you doing great? How are you this morning?

233
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: What's on your mind?

234
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 7: Well?

235
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 9: I think it was about three weeks ago you were

236
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 9: thinking about high interest rights and home ownership mortgage right,

237
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 9: and there was a lady called in that was talking

238
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 9: about how it was possible to own a home that

239
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 9: you had to work hard, and you kind of scoffed

240
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 9: at what she was saying. But I'm sixty nine years old.

241
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 9: I worked for a small credit union. I've been a

242
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 9: bet collector for forty years, and in that time, there's

243
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 9: been a significant change in how people do their dad Now.

244
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 10: Working hard is not that they want to do to

245
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 10: see it what they want. It's easier now to give.

246
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 9: Back what you don't want and go back to get more.

247
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 9: So it's not just the industry, it's the pep people.

248
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 5: Have chimed, you know, Patty, I first of all, thank

249
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 5: you for saying so.

250
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you. I do remember that call.

251
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 5: And if you interpreted my reaction to her as scoffing

252
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 5: at the lack of people being patient and working hard,

253
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 5: I didn't. I didn't certainly mean to leave you with

254
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 5: the impression that I was dismissing what she said. I

255
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 5: don't disagree at all. In fact that you probably read Patty,

256
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 5: the Trump administration is starting to send notices to student

257
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 5: loan borrowers into default setting to resume wage garnishment for

258
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 5: federal student loans. Now, politically, that's deadly to be perfectly honest,

259
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 5: to start sending wage notices to young people telling them

260
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 5: that they owe or older people that we're going to

261
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 5: come after your wages if you don't pay back your debt.

262
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 5: I mean, we are at a time where people are

263
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 5: settled with a lot of student loan debt. I think

264
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 5: we have to have a cultural discussion about why. At

265
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 5: the same time, houses are expensive. But you're saying it's

266
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 5: a matter of responsibility and hard work too, It's not

267
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 5: just unaffordability, Patty.

268
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 9: Yes, that's what I'm saying, because people are feel like

269
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 9: they're entitled to hell. So I did a little bit

270
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 9: of research on my own personal experience, and twenty years ago,

271
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 9: if you assisted someone with getting their account caught up,

272
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 9: because there's always a systems available, and in six months,

273
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 9: only twenty six percent of those people were behind A

274
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 9: kid in twenty twenty five. I did the same thing

275
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 9: six months later. Seventy six percent of the people are

276
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 9: behind the Keeason, so it's not that they need education,

277
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 9: and I think started high school educating.

278
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Patty, you sound like you could be a

279
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 5: member of Trump's treasury team. That's what Besson's trying to

280
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 5: do with these Trump baby bonds. Starting education, talking about

281
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 5: compound interest and growth. Personal responsibility is what you're talking about, Patty.

282
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 5: I appreciate the message very much. Have a great weekend.

283
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 5: Let's head to Ken in North Carolina on open line Friday.

284
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 5: Hey Ken, good morning, welcome in, thanks for your patience.

285
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 4: Hello, good more, good morning, And I just want to

286
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 4: mention I really enjoy my Harump newsletters that you send

287
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 4: out weekly.

288
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: So love, thank you, Thank you. Ken.

289
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: I noticed I just heard on the news it sounds

290
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 4: like the House has passed a three year COVID extension

291
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 4: during all the Minneapolis blue haws, so they don't get

292
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 4: much coverage. But if we want to get the voter

293
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 4: fraud issue in front of the mainstream media, I think

294
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 4: what the Senate would need to do is add an

295
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 4: amendment to that that they would they would pass it

296
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 4: if and only if they mandate that in all fifty

297
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 4: states no mail in ballots are allowed, and also that

298
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 4: voter ID is allowed, and if any state doesn't do

299
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 4: it in November, the program's canceled. And then watch the

300
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 4: liberals squeal.

301
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 5: I love your thinking. So you're saying, yeah, what you're

302
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 5: talking about. This is three year extension of Obamacare subsidies

303
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 5: that were all tied to COVID. The House passed it

304
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 5: yesterday with the help of some Republicans. Now goes over

305
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 5: to the Senate, where they say it's not going anywhere.

306
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 5: You say, what the Senate ought to do? Monkey around

307
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 5: with it a little bit, say Okay, we'll extend your subsidies,

308
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 5: but you've got to clean your voter rolls, no illegal voting,

309
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 5: and then watch the Democrats reject it.

310
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: I like it. I like it, darem. It's kind of what.

311
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 5: Trump's doing with housing too. Thanks for the call. Ken

312
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 5: in North Carolina Open line Friday rolls on jd Vance?

313
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 5: What a stud? What do you make of rolling him

314
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 5: out there yesterday? And there's always a reason for everything.

315
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 5: Why was jd Vance sent to the White House podium,

316
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 5: not Caroline, not President Trump, not any other surrogate. The

317
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 5: vice president of the United States was sent to the

318
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 5: jackals of the press Corps and just went rapid fire

319
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 5: with him. What do you make of that? That's on purpose?

320
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 5: After by the way, he was notably absent, and people

321
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 5: were calling it out during the strike in Venezuela.

322
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: Now it's clearly security.

323
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 5: You can't have the president and vice president anymore in

324
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 5: the same place very often, certainly not at mar A Lago.

325
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 5: So they said it was security. I'm fine with that.

326
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 5: But many people were making this big deal that it

327
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 5: was Ruby Rubio, Rubio and Hegesith and Trump? Where's Vance?

328
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 5: Where's Vance? Where's Vance? I read that a lot yesterday.

329
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 5: It was the Vance show. Is that what's up? As

330
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 5: little even Keel is he the best at this? There's

331
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 5: a reason everybody's looking ahead to the future, right talking

332
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 5: Vance Rubio Rubio Vance?

333
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: Is that a ticket? Is it a horse race? What

334
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: are we watching?

335
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 11: You have to show a unified front. You have to

336
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 11: show that this administration. Advance specifically said the President and

337
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 11: himself support the Ice agent doing what he needed to

338
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 11: do in that situation in Minneapolis. So I think that's

339
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 11: exactly what it is. There's no wavering. There's no faltering,

340
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 11: and hostile media wants to ask me questions. Fine, I

341
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 11: can handle that. We support the ICE agent and Christy Noman.

342
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.

343
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 5: And not only do we support the ICE agent, but

344
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 5: we are not going to get distracted and take our

345
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 5: eye off the ball, which is the fraud going on

346
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 5: in this state. And you people do not want us

347
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 5: talking about it. But let me tell you something. We're

348
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 5: doubling down on it. Give me number three here, if

349
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 5: you would please, PAULI. This is Jade Vance reminding these people.

350
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 5: If you think I'm going to get distracted with your

351
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 5: carping about ice agents, I'll dress you down on that,

352
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 5: and then we're going to go to this.

353
00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 7: If you're a young parent struggling to afford childcare, States

354
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 7: of America, there are programs that we have to make

355
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 7: it easier for your kids to get in daycare, for

356
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 7: your kids to get in preschool. Those programs should go

357
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 7: to American citizens, not be defrauded by Somali immigrants and others.

358
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 7: Make it hard for you to get the access to

359
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 7: the resources you need. But number two, make it easier

360
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 7: for people who shouldn't even be in this country to

361
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 7: fleece the United States and our taxpayers. To begin with,

362
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 7: we have actually activated a major interagency task force to

363
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 7: make it possible to get to the heart of this fraud.

364
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 7: We have Department of Agriculture resources that are focused on

365
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 7: snap fraud, so that people who need food benefits can

366
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 7: get them, but illegal aliens.

367
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 2: And other frauds to as don't.

368
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 7: We have over fifteen hundred subpoenas that the Department of

369
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 7: Justice has issued to get to the heart of the

370
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 7: fraud ring. We've done almost one hundred indictments, mostly Somali immigrants,

371
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 7: but also a few others.

372
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: And of course we're.

373
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 7: Looking in with broad investigatory authority to a number of

374
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 7: the instances of wrongdoing that we've seen in many apples.

375
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 7: But we also want to expand this. We know that

376
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 7: the fraud isn't just happening in Minneapolis. It's also happening

377
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 7: in states like Ohio, It's happening in states like California,

378
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 7: and so what we're doing in order to help coordinate

379
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 7: this remarkable interagency effort from the Trump administration, but also

380
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 7: to make sure that we prosecute the bad guys and

381
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 7: do it as swiftly and efficiently as possible. Is we

382
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 7: are creating a new Assistant Attorney General position who will

383
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 7: have nationwide jurisdiction over the issue of fraud. Now, of

384
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 7: course that person's efforts will start and focus primarily in Minnesota,

385
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 7: but it is going to be a nationwide effort because unfortunately,

386
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 7: the American people have been defrauded in a very nationwide way.

387
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: Oh oh, oh.

388
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 5: An assistant Attorney general focused on fraud. Eddie, you picked

389
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 5: up on the unified front. Remember doctor Gorka with a

390
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 5: shift today, except Gorka from the White House. He said,

391
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 5: we have never seen a White House working in concert

392
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 5: quite like this one. And remember we've talked long ago

393
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 5: about the fact that any time anything happens these days,

394
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 5: whether it's international or domestically, who's in the room the

395
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 5: street tough Scott Bessant, We've sit there ticket.

396
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 11: Every time, right, Yes, Scott besson has been with him

397
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 11: every time, and even Chris and you and I have

398
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 11: traveled to see, you know, with the President. Lee's Elden

399
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 11: like cabinet officials are just there and She's like, O,

400
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 11: wait is that person on the stage. Is that person

401
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 11: on the stage always?

402
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 5: So two of their best messengers yesterday on this. Remember,

403
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 5: they're not going to get distracted with this ice agent

404
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 5: thing and a radical kamikazi leftist trying to ram him

405
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 5: with his car or her car. They're not going to

406
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 5: move off this. He moved it right back to fraud. Said,

407
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 5: we're getting an assistant ag. We're fanning out over the country.

408
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 5: We're going to start in Minnesota. Who pops up in Minnesota?

409
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 5: Sit there, Ticket number ninety nine.

410
00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 12: Under Governor Tim Walls, billions of dollars intended for fays

411
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 12: in need, housing for disabled seniors, and services for children

412
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 12: were diverted to benefit of fraudsters. I am here this

413
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 12: week to signal the US Treasuries on wavering commitment to

414
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 12: recovering stolen funds, prosecuting fraudulent criminals, preventing scandals like this

415
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 12: from ever happening again, and investigating similar schemes state by state.

416
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 5: Oh and ninety eight, if you please, Paul Scott Passant.

417
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 12: Irs called criminal investigations. And these men and women, they

418
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 12: are cool cats. They can take a part of balance sheet,

419
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 12: and they can knock down a door and arrest of

420
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 12: one like they go out on patrols.

421
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: They can make arrest.

422
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 12: It's this very interesting hybrid force, about twenty five hundred

423
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 12: of them.

424
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: And they led the charge.

425
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 12: Here is IRS. Cis who uncovered the initial fraud and

426
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 12: the prosecutions. So it's with that group, with other groups

427
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 12: at IRS and with the hours of the Treasury to

428
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 12: track where the money came from, where it's going.

429
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 2: Okay, we saw this.

430
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 5: And they're cracking down. This is exactly what I said.

431
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 5: The fraud is being exposed in real time. It is

432
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 5: a unified front to stay on this fraud. The press

433
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 5: desperately wants you to talk about the Kamakazi leftists in

434
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 5: their cars trying to kill ICE agents. They're not budget off.

435
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 5: This good for them. Hey, everybody's trying to save money

436
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 5: where they can. If you buy your own health insurance

437
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 5: or if you're on Obamacare, you know how expensive those

438
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 5: premiums are getting. It's why I've sent my own parents,

439
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 5: my personal friends, and my colleagues to John Ruhlman and

440
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 5: his team at US medical plan dot com. John works

441
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 5: with one hundred different private health insurance companies across the

442
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 5: country to find you the very best coverage at the

443
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 5: very best rates. My own parents saved four hundred dollars

444
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 5: a month each on their Medicare supplemental health insurance premiums

445
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 5: reaching out to John Rouman and US Medical Plan dot com.

446
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 5: I have a friend in between jobs. She reached out

447
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 5: to US Medical Plan to replace her Cobra insurance rates.

448
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 5: Saved six hundred dollars a month. A personal friend who

449
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 5: buys his own families health insurance out of pocket. I

450
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 5: send him to John and now he's saving one thousand

451
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 5: dollars a month. Listen, folks, this is one of the

452
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 5: easiest ways to save appreciable money every month without sacrificing coverage.

453
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 5: But you're not going to know unless you reach out

454
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 5: right now and have the conversation eight seven seven four

455
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 5: to one zero forty three to twenty one or log

456
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 5: onto US Medical Plan dot com. Let's go to the

457
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 5: phones on open line Friday. Talk to Matt, who's been

458
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,919

00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 5: I don't I want to give you time to say

462
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 5: what you wanted to say, but here again, John Fetterman.

463
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 5: I think it's interesting the voice of reason out there.

464
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 5: What do you make of John Fetterman, who me. Give

465
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 5: this to you. Matt, I want you to respond to this,

466
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 5: since he's your United States senator. Give me number five,

467
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 5: if you would please, Paul, this is John Fetterman on

468
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 5: the situation in Minneapolis.

469
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 11: The mayor of Minneapolis says that I should get the

470
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 11: half out of their city keeping good should get out.

471
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 13: I mean, I'm not that close to the kind of

472
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 13: violence and the tragedy, so I don't want to judge that.

473
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 13: But for me, I think it's all probably always more

474
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 13: helpful to turn the temperature down and just withhold, you know,

475
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 13: the kinds of extremes to say, hey, like you know,

476
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 13: let's everybody, you know, turn the temperature down. I honestly,

477
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 13: whether that's coming from like some kinds of the rhetoric

478
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 13: from the Secretary nome or the president, or whether the

479
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 13: mayor or governor, it's like, really, let's just turn down

480
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 13: the temperature and know, you can't forget someone's lost their

481
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 13: lives and we have to.

482
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 5: So, Matt, I'm just curious, what do you make of Fetterman?

483
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 5: Exactly what do you make of him?

484
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: Just real quick, an amazing transformation. He went from if

485
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm being honest, pretty much a laughing stock around here

486
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: to one of the more intelligent people in Congress, say.

487
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 5: Would you be inclined to vote for him? Out of curiosity?

488
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 5: I don't gather you did before? But would you another time,

489
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 5: you know.

490
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: What, depending on his competition? Yeah? Yeah, I would.

491
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I know that's not why you call

492
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 2: it though. Please just take it away, all right.

493
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: So backstory. I'm a former airborne infantryman in the Army

494
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: in a sixteen year veteran intelligence analyst with the FBI.

495
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: And as much fun as it is for all of

496
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: this new fraud uncovering, it's almost certainly not new news

497
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: and almost certainly nothing will ever happen of it, I.

498
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 2: Thought, why do you say that?

499
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: Well, I fought for President Trump's two point ohs agenda

500
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: before there was a President Trump. Two point oh I

501
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: fought to stop drugs coming into Scranton, Pennsylvania, and I

502
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: fought to stop back being misinformation and well to be honest,

503
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: and earned me death threats. I have actually written a

504
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: manuscript about it, and I sent that into the FBI

505
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: for review eight months ago, and they're still sitting on it.

506
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: The problem is people think the FBI exists to enforce

507
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: laws it exists to enforce the status quo. I'm almost

508
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: certain nothing will ever happen on this. It will be

509
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: swept on.

510
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: And you think that's true even now under current leadership.

511
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: I think the institutionalization is too corrupt.

512
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 5: Interesting, you know what I'm gonna and Matt, I really

513
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 5: appreciate the phone calling, the perspective, and thank you for

514
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 5: your service to the country. By the way, I hear

515
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 5: many people say that, And you know who I am

516
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 5: going to be listening to closely for that assessment, and

517
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 5: I hope maybe in time I am going to reach

518
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 5: out to him. I know he's being inundated right now

519
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 5: and he's got his own show to do. I sincerely

520
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 5: would love to talk to my colleague Dan Bongino about it.

521
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: I want to pick his brain. Is that true? Is

522
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 2: it so?

523
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 5: Is it such a hornet's nest that it's too big

524
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 5: to be reformed?

525
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 2: I have heard that, said your guy who did the work,

526
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 2: and you're saying that.

527
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 5: I understand there is pessimism that the system is too

528
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 5: corrupt and too big to thwart, too big to overcome.

529
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 2: We're a year in.

530
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 5: I still don't know quite how to read Pambandi and

531
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 5: Cash Ptel's performance. I'm still willing to be patient for now.

532
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: I hope you're wrong.

533
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 5: I appreciate your call, though, and your perspective though, and

534
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 5: I wish you a happy New Year. Morning minute on

535
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: the Stagall Show got a call from Robert in Florida.

536
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: Earlier in the show.

537
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 5: He has a wiener dog named Chris. I don't know

538
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 5: how to take that. It felt like a backhanded compliment.

539
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 5: He didn't name it after me, he said, although identified

540
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 5: with the wiener dog years and years and years of battery.

541
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: The telephone number is eight five five Stagalla.

542
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 5: You'd like to get it, said, he looked like the

543
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 5: dog from The Grinch, and they took him in. I

544
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 5: identify with that wiener dog. I think that's a fitting name.

545
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 5: But nonetheless rough Greens. He said that they're going to

546
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 5: try rough Greens for his wiener dog, Chris, and I said,

547
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 5: that's great news, and I want you to call me

548
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 5: back and let me know how he's doing. Look, rough

549
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,239
Speaker 5: Greens is the perfect solution for a dog that is

550
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 5: maybe a little long in the tooth.

551
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: You know my dog Dean.

552
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 5: He's ten gray, But what I love is he still

553
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 5: got the energy of a pup. I love that these

554
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 5: live vitamins, nutrients and minerals that are in rough Greens.

555
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: They're all so good for him.

556
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 5: Stuff I should have been given him years ago, But

557
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 5: now tablespoon of it once a day over the top

558
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,239
Speaker 5: of his food. He goes crazy for it. If your

Speaker 5: dog doesn't eat very well, this is a surefire way

Speaker 5: breath is a thing hoof that'll help, but you won't

563
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 5: know unless you try it. And the great thing about

570
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 5: doesn't go crazy for it like mine does. President Trump

571
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 5: yesterday posting on truth social Biden ignored the housing market

572
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 5: and instead was immersed with high high crime, open borders,

573
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 5: runaway inflation, the Afghanistan disaster, a military that he left

574
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 5: in chaos and confusion. Everything was broken, but I, as

575
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 5: president of the United States have already fixed it. Now

576
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 5: I'm giving special attention to the housing market because I

577
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 5: choose not to sell Fanny May and Freddie Mack in

578
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 5: my first term, a truly great decision and against the

579
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 5: advice of the experts. It is now worth many times

580
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 5: that amount, an absolute fortune and has two hundred billion

581
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 5: dollars in cash. And so because of this, I'm instructing

582
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 5: my representatives to buy two hundred billion dollars in mortgage bonds.

583
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 5: That will drive mortgage rates down. It will drive down

584
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 5: monthly payments and make the cost of owning a home

585
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 5: more affordable. It is one of the many steps in

586
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 5: restoring affordability, something that the Buid administration absolutely destroyed housing.

587
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 5: We told you yesterday that he announced that he is

588
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 5: going to try to push Congress to force them to

589
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 5: ban institutional investors, the big black Rocks, Vanguards and the

590
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 5: like from buying residential homes, hoovering them up and artificially

591
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 5: inflating the price and controlling the markets, inflating rents in

592
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 5: the whole thing. So that's got to take an act

593
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 5: to Congress. Can he get Congress to do it? Will

594
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 5: Democrats sign on?

595
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

596
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 5: Now he's saying he's going to take some mortgage bonds,

597
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 5: he's going to buy them up, going to try to

598
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 5: lower it. Interestingly, this comes at the same time the

599
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 5: headline is Americans are fleeing the mortgage market. Why the

600
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 5: decline means lenders are becoming more cautious and credit availability

601
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 5: now at its lowest level in three months. So there

602
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 5: is concern that housing is starting to slow down a

603
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 5: little bit as it's still too expensive.

604
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: But the news is other.

605
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 5: Than that, the news on the economy, and Trump's going

606
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 5: to try to tackle this thing. It's going to be

607
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 5: fascinating to watch how he tackles housing because Mom Donnie

608
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 5: is out there in New York promising free, free, free, free, free,

609
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 5: which is going to end a disaster. Everybody understands how

610
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 5: giving taxpayer money away for free never makes anything better.

611
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 5: Everybody gonna be living in slums, is what that means.

612
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 5: CNBC stunned over there. The experts are stunned at the

613
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 5: good news coming in from Q four. You know, the

614
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 5: tail end of the year, we just had explosive growth.

615
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 5: They didn't see it coming, the experts. Can you be

616
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 5: an expert and not see something coming here. It is

617
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 5: number ninety five.

618
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 6: The secret sav of the US economy what Greenspan called

619
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 6: the special sauce. Well, this is the third quarter preliminary.

620
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 6: There will be changes. Four point nine percent, extremely close

621
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 6: to estimates and.

622
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: A really solid number.

623
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 6: In the rear view mirror, three point three becomes four

624
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 6: point one for the last quarter's final So four point nine.

625
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 2: Wow, you have to go a.

626
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 6: Long way back to find a higher number. We have

627
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 6: to go all the way back to the third quarter

628
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 6: of twenty twenty. Productivity is great, and if we look

629
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 6: at unit labor costs, unit labor costs come in well

630
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 6: one point nine down one point nine. That's a minus sign.

631
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 6: They are lower. Unit labor costs are lower. That's always

632
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 6: good news. And in the rear view mirror, the one

633
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 6: percent to the upside becomes minus two point nine to

634
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 6: the downside, has costs drop. And finally, on the trade balance,

635
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 6: which we know is going to be a deficit, we're

636
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 6: expecting a number round fifty.

637
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 5: They're stunned. Look, folks, for the first time in a

638
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 5: long time, the United States didn't drift the year of

639
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five. As we wrap it up, and we're

640
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 5: looking at the fourth quarter really popped. It's because the

641
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 5: United States isn't adrift. It's acting authority was exercised, Systems

642
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 5: were enforced, limits were restored, and we changed direction, and

643
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 5: not through speeches, structural direction like the early months of

644
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 5: Franklin Roosevelt's presidency. Politics are different, but this Trump term

645
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 5: has been defined not by rhetoric but incentives. Borders have

646
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 5: been secured, energy has been unleashed, Bureaucratic excess has finally

647
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 5: been forced into retreat. Three particular victories stand out, not slogans,

648
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 5: but realities that we can feel in our daily lives.

649
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 5: Things are becoming more affordable, You're starting to feel the

650
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 5: sense of American sovereignty returning, and accountability, and together these

651
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 5: things mark the opening of a chapter of a restoration.

652
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 5: Let's start with the economy. The most important economic fact

653
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 5: of twenty twenty five isn't simply that inflation fail. It's

654
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 5: that inflation cooled despite everything the experts insisted would make

655
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 5: it impossible. Tariffs we were told we're going to ignite

656
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 5: huge price spirals. Energy deregulation was supposed to cause chaos. Instead,

657
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 5: prices have stabilized, Energy costs are declining. Credit conditions are easing,

658
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 5: and affordability, the metric families actually live by is returning

659
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 5: faster than predicted. That's not luck, folks, This isn't shock.

660
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 5: Its economic policy, driven by the likes of Besant and

661
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 5: President Trump, energy has proved decisive too. In an economy

662
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 5: increasingly driven by AI as you know, and advanced manufacturing,

663
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 5: medical research, space exploration.

664
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: National defense. Energy is not just any.

665
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 5: Old input, it's everything. A nation that can't produce abundant,

666
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 5: reliable power cannot lead the future. Trump has understood this

667
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 5: long ago, and so deregulating domestic energy has collapsed costs

668
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 5: across transportation, manufacturing, and food. It's breaking the back of

669
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 5: inflation in a way interest rate hikes alone could never

670
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 5: have done. It's giving the Fed more room to ease

671
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 5: without triggering a recession. You're going to see that happen

672
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 5: this year. I suspect tariffs have played a complimentary role

673
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 5: in this, actually, and that's why it's so important that

674
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 5: they're saying, very very soon, maybe within the week, you're

675
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 5: going to see the Supreme Court rule on these tariffs.

676
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 5: They deserve to be understood correctly. They're not protectionist tantrums.

677
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 5: They're not legislative tinkering. It's an article to power, very

678
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 5: closely related to the president's authority over foreign affairs and

679
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 5: national security. Really no different than what we've seen in Venezuela. Historically,

680
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 5: tariffs have functioned as the economic equivalent of a soft blockade. Again,

681
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 5: we know the naval blockades are restricting ships. Right now

682
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 5: we're seeing that will tariffs restrict the flow of strategic

683
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 5: goods and dependency. And again, you never have to fire

684
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 5: a single shot. This is so critically important. Tariffs allow

685
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 5: the executive to respond quickly to hostile trade practices, industrial espionage,

686
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 5: currency manipulation, threats. Congress is just structurally too slow to

687
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 5: counter by themselves. Look, tariffs were never meant to stop

688
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 5: AI or automation. They slowed outsourcing. This isn't protectionism, folks,

689
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 5: it's economic stagecraft. It's national security. And you were told

690
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 5: disaster is coming. The expert said, disaster is coming. I

691
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 5: had personal friends who voted for Trump, who were in

692
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 5: finance that said you got to do something. You got

693
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 5: to call the Trump team and tell them this is

694
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 5: a nightmare as a disaster. Well, twenty twenty five delivered

695
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 5: relief and Q four of last year stunned the experts,

696
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 5: and now families are filling their tanks. We're seeing gas

697
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 5: in places like Iowa at a dollar eighty five a gallon.

698
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 5: They're stocking their fridges. They're planning ahead without dread. The

699
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 5: country is starting to steady. You feel it. And when

700
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 5: people start to feel more steady and stable nations do too.

701
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 5: That's why sovereignty is so important. Sovereignty didn't return through

702
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 5: symbolism alone. It returned through enforcement and deportation and removing

703
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 5: millions of illegals and yes, using immigrations and customs enforcement

704
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 5: to go into the belly of these big city beasts

705
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 5: and crack down and with fewer illegals competing for everything

706
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 5: from housing to wages and public services. And then of

707
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 5: course there's the fraud supply and demanded dynamics reassert themselves.

708
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 5: You see rental markets loosen, you see wage pressure easing.

709
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 5: It's not ideology. It's simple economics. Secure borders, restore confidence.

710
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 5: Economic confidence that's not unimportant, civic confidence that laws still matter.

711
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 5: That's the irony of what these democrats are valiaching about.

712
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 5: We're enforcing laws for the first time in a long time,

713
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 5: and they're making it sound as though those enforcing laws

714
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 5: are the enemy. No, we have to have the cultural

715
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 5: confidence in a nation that retains the right to defend

716
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 5: itself and stands for the rule of law. Sovereignty is

717
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 5: not abstract. But the quietest victory of all was accountability.

718
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 5: And that's the thing we're watching right now with the fraud.

719
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 5: The most consequential reform of last year did not happen

720
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 5: at the gas pump of the border. It happened inside

721
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 5: Washington with Doge. I've been talking a lot about this.

722
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 5: It's why the left is coming unhinged. It's why they're

723
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 5: trying everything they can to make this woman who tried

724
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 5: to mow down an Ice agent in the car. They're

725
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 5: trying to make her the next George Floyd's story. They

726
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 5: do not want to talk about DOGE and the federal

727
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 5: bureaucracy being audited automated accountability using AI and turning it

728
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 5: loose on all of these billions in questionable spending. A

729
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 5: lot of it's been paused, regulations have been streamlined, transparency

730
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 5: is back, and of course, as you know, the waste

731
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 5: was never accidental. Controlling deficits isn't just about austerity and

732
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 5: cutting and cutting and cutting. It's also about avoiding national bankruptcy,

733
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 5: so America can invest where it has to energy, dominance

734
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 5: and defense readiness and technological leadership and infrastructure and families.

735
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 5: And Trump is doing that. They are laser focused and

736
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 5: they are not distracted. Hurrump for the first year of

737
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 5: Donald Trump, and here we go in year number two.

738
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 5: That's what makes this fall so critical. You ready, I

739
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 5: am great to be with you. Looking live at New York,

740
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 5: New York, and am nine seventy The answer there Times Square?

741
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 5: I haven't been there in quite a while.

742
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: New Year's Eve? You ever do New Year's even? Times Square?

743
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 8: Fast?

744
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 2: Ady?

745
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 8: Would you do that?

746
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 2: I've debated it.

747
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 5: I've debated it, but you know what I just first

748
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 5: of all, before things got insane, I was always sort

749
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 5: of claustrophobic the idea of being tightly packed in that setting.

750
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 5: Just I don't it's unsettling to me. I don't think

751
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 5: I'm ever going to be able to do it again.

752
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 11: Okay, I see where you're coming from. I like Times

753
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 11: Square a lot, but yeah, New Year's Eve, I don't know.

754
00:42:58,840 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 5: I don't need to.

755
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: It's kind of like watch the thing.

756
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's kind of like like, yes, if if I

757
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 11: could afford to go to Eagles games, right, I would go.

758
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 11: But it's just like, you know what if I if

759
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 11: I if I'm pretty busy and we have a lot

760
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 11: to do, I don't mind watching the NFL experience on TV.

761
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 11: They made it, they made it nice enough.

762
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, So would you prefer to watch a

763
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 2: game in person or at home? It it depends.

764
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 11: There's some days I feel it where I'd be like, yes,

765
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 11: I'm all in, rah, rah, let's go to the stadium.

766
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 2: And then other days I'm just like, oh, look at this,

767
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 2: like this is nice.

768
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 5: I think as I've gotten older, what I realized too

769
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 5: is that's your day. That's your hold it Like, if

770
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 5: you're committing to doing something like that, that's the day,

771
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 5: the traffic, the getting there at the parking to bat that,

772
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 5: like you you're committing the entirety of your weekend day

773
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 5: to that event. And that's as I get older, my

774
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 5: time is a little more precious to me.

775
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 2: That's the way I view that.

776
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 11: It's no I had a media pass and I remember

777
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 11: the very first time ever getting there, one of the

778
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 11: one of the writers locally said, you're gonna need like

779
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 11: two hours before the Like, you need to be here

780
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 11: two hours before the game, and you're not leaving until

781
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 11: about an hour after the game.

782
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh man, speaking of the game, the big

783
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 2: Sunday matchup, forty nine Ers come to town. How you feel?

784
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:10,479
Speaker 2: I feel good.

785
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 11: I feel good about the Eagles against this forty nine

786
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 11: Ers team. I know this Niners team has come over

787
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 11: a lot of adversity this season to get to where

788
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 11: they are, so they kind of have the team of

789
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 11: destiny feel to them. But if the Eagles can run

790
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 11: the same the Niners over, then I think we're going

791
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 11: to have like a repeat of last year's playoffs.

792
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 5: Bears Packers is probably the flashiest, right, is that the

793
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 5: one that everybody's like, That's the classic matchup this weekend

794
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 5: that everybody wants to see in football?

795
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 2: I think?

796
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 5: I mean, like, if you're just a football fan generally

797
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 5: and not necessarily hardcore invested in any team, that's kind

798
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 5: of a legendary matchup, isn't it?

799
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 8: Really?

800
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: Yeah?

801
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 11: I mean, both of these teams are rivals, both have

802
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 11: strong fan bases, and the game could go either way.

803
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 11: When we started the season, I would have said it

804
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 11: was the Packers. Now not so sure.

805
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 5: Got a note from the show spiritual advisor. He heard

806
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 5: me just talking a little bit ago the return of

807
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 5: sovereignty and accountability and affordability, and the show spiritual adviser said, Chris,

808
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,439
Speaker 5: Proverbs twenty one to one. So I went, I looked

809
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 5: it up. Ready, the king's heart is a stream of

810
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 5: water in the hand of the Lord, he turns it

811
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 5: wherever he will. I said this on X, and if

812
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 5: you don't follow me on X, I hope that you

813
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 5: will head over there. You can go directly there, or

814
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 5: I'm linked up at Christigall dot com and you can

815
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 5: follow me on X. But I said this earlier in

816
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 5: the week I think, or maybe over the weekend. I

817
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 5: genuinely believe, as we know it is spiritual, and my

818
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 5: show spiritual advisor correct to point out Proverbs twenty one

819
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 5: to one as painful as twenty twenty was the loss.

820
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 5: And I put that in near quotes of that election

821
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 5: COVID to follow the way we were all treated by

822
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 5: government thugs and goons, the way they jailed and surveiled

823
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 5: and masked and quarranteemed and punished and tried to force

824
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 5: us to take shots. I mean, that was a real hell.

825
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 5: That we went through for four years, this country was

826
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 5: emotionally and mentally just assaulted by its own government, and

827
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 5: the Left is trying to pretend that that's what's happening now.

828
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: Wrong. Wrong.

829
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 5: This government is focused on getting off the backs of

830
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 5: the American people, unleashing money in American enterprise and freedoms,

831
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 5: but making people who are here illegally pay the price,

832
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 5: and using law enforcement to enforce the law breakers. That's

833
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 5: the difference. So I believe that that nightmare of twenty

834
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 5: twenty and the ensuing four years God was in that

835
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 5: it gave Trump some time to sit on the sideline,

836
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 5: study the playbook, and he came back, and he came

837
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 5: in roaring with a team that knew exactly where they

838
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 5: were driving Proverbs twenty one to one.

839
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,879

00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 2: You know what I did yesterday?

903
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 5: I applied formally applied because I let the last one expire.

904
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 2: I don't know.

905
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 5: I think it was twenty two, twenty ten. I looked

906
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 5: at the date of it was the last time I

907
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 5: got a passport fast Eddie, and there was a discussion

908
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 5: that I might need a passport this year for some travel,

909
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 5: and so I said, well, I guess I better go

910
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 5: get one. I look, I appreciate all that one has

911
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 5: to do to make sure that you're legal and above

912
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 5: board to travel internationally, across the border, leave and come back.

913
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 5: But I just kept saying to myself, and I wound

914
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 5: up at the post office for the receiving agency end

915
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 5: of the thing. After you've applied and done all the thing,

916
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 5: then you go to the post office and they certify it,

917
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 5: and they tape it up, and they give you statements

918
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 5: and the post post office workers signs things, and then

919
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 5: you got to I had to take it to a

920
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 5: hand courier because it needed to be expedited. I couldn't

921
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 5: believe the levels and the money. And I'm a guy

922
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 5: that was born in the Midwest to two people born

923
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,720
Speaker 5: in the Midwest, well documented, long term, almost fifty years

924
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 5: of existence the country and paying taxes. You'd have thought

925
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 5: I was a foreign national going through that. I'd forgotten

926
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 5: what a pain in the rump that kind of thing is.

927
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 5: And I said to the postal clerk, who I think

928
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 5: I made it kind of uncomfortable as we were in

929
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 5: I don't know, hour three of what just felt like

930
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 5: constant age on and on and on and on, the

931
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 5: bureaucracy and I finally said to her, I go, I

932
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 5: could break into this country with greater ease a couple

933
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 5: of years ago, then I can leave it with you today.

934
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 11: That's a very good way to put it.

935
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 2: And it's sad.

936
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 11: Did you did you have to go through like the

937
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 11: bordering on the picture and everything has to be ugh

938
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 11: because that's what It's been a while. Mine expires in

939
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 11: twenty twenty eight, so it's been a little while since

940
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 11: I've had to get one.

941
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 5: Let me give you some counsel. If I'm a friend,

942
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 5: a friend, do not let the damned thing expire. Don't

943
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 5: let it expire. Renew it now, save yourself the headache.

944
00:51:58,760 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 8: OK.

945
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 5: I just cannot believe how difficult it is for me

946
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 5: to get a document that says I'm a legal citizen

947
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 5: to leave and go visit another country. And I kept

948
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 5: thinking to myself, Joe Biden allowed people to just pour

949
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 5: into this country by the millions, and right now, the

950
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 5: American Left, at this hour is still defending it. Still

951
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 5: there are foreign entities stealing your taxpayer money and mine

952
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 5: boldly and brazenly, and the left wants you to talk

953
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 5: about Ice being the criminal. It just pisses me off

954
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 5: more than I can tell you. I'm a tax paying

955
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 5: American citizen for decades, and it's harder for me to

956
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 5: pack my bags and go take a trip to a

957
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 5: foreign country than it is for Somalis to gather together

958
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 5: and steal billions of my taxpayer dollars illegally on a

959
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,280
Speaker 5: couple of different fronts. Their very residency is probably illegal

960
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 5: on top of the theft of my taxpayer dollars sending

961
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 5: it to Somalia. And somehow they're the victims in the

962
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 5: Democrats eyes and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, one

963
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 5: agency of the government that's actually trying to uphold the law.

964
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 5: Democrats want you to believe that they should be targets,

965
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 5: and they're encouraging their kamikaze leftist voters to get in

966
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 5: their cars, floor it and create missiles aimed at those

967
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 5: enforcing our laws. It's outrageous, and of course Jady vanswers

968
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 5: having none of it.

969
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 2: None of it.

970
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 5: Yesterday, I was so proud of our vice president. He

971
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 5: blasted away on this. Give me number two if you please.

972
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 8: Paul.

973
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 7: Well, being part of the network doesn't justify being shot,

974
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 7: but ramming an ice officer with your car, that's what

975
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 7: justifies being shot. It's not a good thing, by the way,

976
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 7: but when you force somebody to engage in self defense,

977
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 7: it's almost a preposterous question. I'm not saying that funding

978
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 7: some of this stuff justifies capital punishment. Nobody would suggest

979
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 7: that the reason this woman is dead is because she

980
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 7: tried to ram somebody with her car and that guy

981
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 7: acted in self defense. That is why she lost her life,

982
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 7: and that is the tragedy. Now, there may be other

983
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 7: violations of the law and other penalties that are associated

984
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 7: with those violations of the law. For example, if you

985
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 7: are funding violence against our law enforcement officers, I'm not

986
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 7: a prosecutor. My guess is that's not the sort of

987
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 7: thing that earns capital punishment. But it's just sure as

988
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 7: hell'll earn you a few years in prison. If you're

989
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 7: funding the effort to try to insult our law enforcement officers.

990
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 2: What is I'm sorry, guys, what's going on here?

991
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 7: You guys are meant to report the truth. How have

992
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 7: you let yourself become agents of propaganda of a radical

993
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 7: fringe that's making.

994
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 2: It harder for us to enforce our laws.

995
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 7: You just asked me a question that presumed that the

996
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 7: reason why this woman died is because she was engaged

997
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 7: in legitimate protests. She tried to run somebody over with

998
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 7: her car and the guy defended himself when that happened.

999
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 5: Hrrumf, harumf harrumf. Mister Vice President JD. Vance an absolute masterclass.

1000
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 5: Of course he's right. And I'll have a town hall today,

1001
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 5: as I've been writing at the Rump Society and talking

1002
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 5: about here this week, the kamikazi leftist? Who are these people?

1003
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 5: Weather distractions? First of all, the left is driving these

1004
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 5: people to become killers of law enforcement agents. It's all

1005
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 5: past awkwards. That's what Jade Vance is so exasperated about,

1006
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 5: and so am I. The media is defending and trying

1007
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 5: to explain away people that would weaponize their vehicles directed

1008
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 5: at law enforcement, federal law enforcement trying to protect our sovereignty,

1009
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 5: and they're the enemy. More on Vance here number one.

1010
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 5: Listen to him talking about the woman typically involved in this,

1011
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 5: the kamakazi leftist.

1012
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 7: There's a part of me that feels very, very sad

1013
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 7: for this woman, not just because she lost her life,

1014
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,359
Speaker 7: but because I think she is a victim of left

1015
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 7: wing ideology. What young mother shows up and decides they're

1016
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 7: going to throw their car in front of ICE officers

1017
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 7: who are enforcing legitimate law. You've got to be a

1018
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 7: little brainwashed to get to that point to where you're willing,

1019
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 7: not not just to protest, that's fine, not peacefully protests,

1020
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 7: but throw your vehicle in front of legitimate law enforcement

1021
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 7: officers and drive your car to them. To get to

1022
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 7: that point, you have to be I think, radicalized in

1023
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 7: a very, very sad way.

1024
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 2: I certainly wish that she hadn't got there.

1025
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 7: I know there's an ICE officer right now who very

1026
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 7: much wishes he was not put in the position where

1027
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,280
Speaker 7: he had to fire a gun to defend his own life.

1028
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 5: The kama Kazi leftist it is precisely what I've been

1029
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 5: talking about this week. It is precisely where the American

1030
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 5: left would rather us be focused on. These lunatics trying

1031
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 5: to punish and attack our law enforcement. Our national sovereignty

1032
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 5: is being upheld. This president was elected to uphold our

1033
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 5: national sovereignty and protect our national interests, not in some

1034
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 5: performative way, but in real ways, not in weak sanctions

1035
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 5: and endless talking, in.

1036
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 2: Moral preening.

1037
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 5: Action, real action, and he's deploying and fanning out federal

1038
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 5: agents around the country to restore order and crack down

1039
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 5: on this lawlessness. And now on top of it, this fraud.

1040
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 5: And what do Democrats do. They try to make you

1041
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 5: think that somehow President Trump and federal law enforcement upholding

1042
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 5: our laws and upholding our sovereignty, they're the enemy, not

1043
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 5: the people that have invaded the country and have robbed

1044
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 5: your tax dollars. And they're not the enemy. In fact,

1045
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 5: the American left has convinced their voter that they should

1046
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 5: get themselves killed to defend those who would break into

1047
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 5: the country and steal from the taxpayer. Can you imagine

1048
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 5: That's how demented the American left has become in this country.

1049
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 5: They would rather die to defend someone breaking into the

1050
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 5: country and stealing your tax money and theirs.

1051
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 2: They'd rather die.

1052
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 5: Defending that than support the men and women enforcing the law.

1053
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 5: Will that ever make a damn bit of sense to you?

1054
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 2: As long as you live.

1055
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 5: Moren a minute, brand new camera shot from Orange Beach, Alabama.

1077
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 5: have to be what's on my mind. Let's go to

1078

Speaker 5: Brent out there in Los Angeles. What do you think

1079
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 5: of West Coast Willy?

1080
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:45,600

Speaker 5: but we have a brand new correspondent on the show,

1083
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 5: Willie Nelson West Coast Willy. He went out there and

1084
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 5: talked to the Palisades fire victims a year later with

1085
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 5: absolutely no rebuild at all. They're mad out there. Good morning, Brent.

1086
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 8: As was I. I met Willie in the Palisades the other day,

1087
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 8: and good so. In fact, he interviewed me because I

1088
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 8: was the only one in a crowd of a thousand

1089
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 8: people wearing a MAGA hat. I get a T shirt

1090
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 8: with Don't tread on Me and a President Trump photograph

1091
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 8: from where they tried to assassinate him with his fist

1092
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 8: in the air.

1093
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 5: Do you think, Brent, may I interrupt you on this?

1094
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 5: Do you think you were the only MAGA voter in

1095
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 5: that crowd or just the only one proud enough to

1096
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 5: display it, or what do you think?

1097
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 8: That's exactly it. I think it was nine to ten

1098
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 8: MAGA voters and pro Trump people, because people were coming

1099
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 8: up to me and thanking me and slapping me on

1100
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 8: the back, and they were very positive, but they were

1101
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 8: scared to say that, you know, to present themselves that way,

1102
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 8: I think. And then there was about one out of ten,

1103
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 8: really screechy remy old white women who were very mad

1104
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 8: at me for what I was doing.

1105
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 2: And this is interesting, I want to stay with that

1106
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 2: for a second.

1107
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 5: They were there to protest the inaction of Newsom and

1108
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 5: local government after the Palisades fires a year later, but

1109
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 5: they were mad at you.

1110
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,439
Speaker 2: For being pro Trump. Have I got that right?

1111
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 8: Well apparently, And so I kind of wondered why they

1112
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 8: were there. They weren't protesting. It was for them. They

1113
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 8: were calling it a memorial, and they were saying, this

1114
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 8: isn't a political event, and I was saying, of course,

1115
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 8: it's a political event. It's nothing but a political event.

1116
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 8: They burnt your city down for politics, and whereas we

1117
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:45,439
Speaker 8: were there, the normal person was there to as a

1118
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 8: tribute and the memorial. It's as if to the left

1119
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 8: this was a great victory. This was a victory to them,

1120
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,439
Speaker 8: like nine to eleven was a victory to them. And

1121
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 8: that's one of the reasons I was calling in. I

1122
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 8: think I'm fearful that if conservatives don't have the courage

1123
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 8: to finally say what's true and say and talk about

1124
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 8: Islam truthfully and socialism truthfully, we're going to be defeated.

1125
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 8: We have to recognize Islam is not a religion, it's

1126
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 8: a pathology. And socialist socialism is not an economic system.

1127
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 8: You know, pillage, plunder, and theft is not economics we have.

1128
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 8: In fact, I think I hate the word capitalism. I'm

1129
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 8: not a capitalist. I'm a free marketeer and with freedom

1130
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 8: to do with that, you know, with your property and

1131
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 8: your abilities, that's what a true economic system is. But

1132
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 8: when you just are your whole economy is built on theft,

1133
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 8: that's not an economic system. All that's just that's barbarism.

1134
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, And do you think we're getting closer? Are

1135
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 5: you pleased to hear what the Vice president said yesterday,

1136
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 5: what Bessin said yesterday. He's on the ground in Minnesota.

1137
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 5: It seems like it seems like the administration is squarely

1138
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,439
Speaker 5: focused on this fraud at least, maybe not tackling the

1139
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 5: Islamism part of it necessarily, although I would say they

1140
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 5: are engaging internationally on things like Iran and their nuke facility,

1141
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 5: which has caused a real uprising there, and that's interesting.

1142
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 5: But I mean, are you pleased with the Trump's Trump

1143
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 5: Administration's focus on the fraud at least?

1144
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 8: Absolutely? These guys are heroes. It's just that they're not

1145
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 8: getting enough following. That was one of the things that

1146
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 8: bothered me. In the palisades. Everybody came up to me,

1147
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 8: but they were sort of whispering, and they said, I

1148
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 8: support you and thank you for doing this, and I'm going,

1149
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 8: why don't you have a maga hat? We should have

1150
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 8: a million maga hats out here. It's conservatives are just

1151
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 8: scared to open their mouths.

1152
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 5: All right, Brent, thank you. I know you're not Thanks

1153
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 5: for calling and leading the parade. That's Brent in Los

1154
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 5: Angeles doing the heavy lifting out there.

1155
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 2: God bless you. Stay in touch.

01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 2: As we wrap up the first busy week.

1163
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 5: It's been extraordinary this first few days of twenty twenty six.

1164
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 2: Wow.

1165
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 5: Michael Guest Congressman. He represents Mississippi's third congressional district. He's

1166
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 5: also the House Ethics Chairman and joins us this morning.

1167
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 2: Congressman. First of all, Happy New Year, and good morning

1168
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 2: to you. Welcome in.

1169
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 14: Well, good morning and happy new year. It has been

1170
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 14: a busy first week of twenty twenty six.

1171
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 5: It's I'm kind of breath taking, actually, I mean, I'm

1172
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 5: not really sure. It's difficult, frankly, to know where to

1173
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 5: focus your energy, because you were talking about everything from

1174
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 5: Venezuela to stunning fraud in Minnesota and a governor who's

1175
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 5: just you know, basically dropping out of a race and disgrace.

1176
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 5: You know, we've got you guys in Congress, We've got

1177
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 5: a Supreme Court that's going to decide on tariff soon.

1178
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 5: I mean, there's there's some This is not just kind

1179
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 5: of nibbling around the edges policy stuff. This is fundamental,

1180
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 5: big time change in this country's direction right now.

1181
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 14: Perhaps, Yeah, you're exactly right, you know, I think you're seeing,

1182
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 14: you know, that fundamental fight between left and right, between conservatism,

1183
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 14: between those that support more progressive policies. But it is

1184
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 14: difficult to focus on a single issue. Generally, you can

1185
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 14: take a single issue, you can deep dive into that issue,

1186
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 14: we can talk about it, we can study it, but

1187
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 14: just about the time we start looking into one item,

1188
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 14: we see something else. We talk about those events that

1189
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 14: are happening across the globe. Venezuela, we're seeing what we

1190
01:05:56,280 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 14: hope is maybe the regime change in Iran. We're seeing

1191
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 14: the people of Iran, I believe, begin to stand up

1192
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 14: calling for freedoms in a country that since the late

1193
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 14: seventies has been under religious rule. You talk about Minnesota,

1194
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 14: the deep fraud that we see there. We saw the

1195
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 14: shooting by the Ice agent and the unrest, the datus calls,

1196
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 14: and the Supreme Court, and not only will the decision

1197
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 14: that they make concerning terrors, but we know that there'll

1198
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 14: be a decision later this year regarding the Voting Rights

1199
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 14: Act and whether Section two of the Voting Rights Act

1200
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 14: should stand or if that has passed this time and

1201
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 14: will no longer be used as a factor in drawing

1202
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 14: congressional districts. And so there are so many moving parks,

1203
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 14: so many things that are happening simultaneously. You're exactly right,

1204
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 14: It is difficult to focus on one. We've got to

1205
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 14: just look at all of them at the same time.

1206
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 5: You guys in the House yesterday, Congressman Guest again represents

1207
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 5: Mississippi's third congressional district. Guys, not with your voters, I

1208
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,440
Speaker 5: understand it. But there were a good number of Republicans

1209
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 5: who helped Democrats pass an extension of Obamacare COVID era

1210
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 5: subsidies not expected to go anywhere in the Senate. Care

1211
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 5: to comment on that, because boy, the left is terribly

1212
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 5: excited that that came out of the House yesterday.

1213
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 14: Yeah. You know, this was a flat extension with no

1214
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 14: reforms to the program, no income caps to the program,

1215
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 14: no pay force. You know, it is projected that it's

1216
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 14: going to cost roughly fifty billion dollars a year or

1217
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 14: so a three year extension is going to call somewhere

1218
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 14: between one hundred and twenty and one hundred and fifty

1219
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 14: billion dollars, with no funds to pay for that. We've

1220
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 14: seen widespread abuse and fraud that has been documented, that

1221
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 14: has been spoken about, that has been debated, but the

1222
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 14: legislation contained no reforms. And you know, and the other

1223
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 14: thing that is particularly disturbing to me personally is a

1224
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 14: lot of times you think of these subsidies, you think

1225
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 14: that those subsidies are going to those people who were

1226
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 14: just above the poverty level, people who are barely able

1227
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 14: to make ends.

1228
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 12: Me.

1229
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 14: But we know, looking at the data that these subsidies

1230
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 14: go to people making hundreds of thousands of dollars, if

1231
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:12,959
Speaker 14: I remembering my statistics correctly, roughly two excuse me, roughly

1232
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 14: a third of all the subsidies, and these COVID air

1233
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 14: subsidies go to families making more than one hundred thousand dollars.

1234
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 14: And so none of those issues that were identified by

1235
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 14: Republicans as the fact that this program needed those needed.

1236
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 2: Reforms were addressed.

1237
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 14: That is why I did not support the legislation, and

1238
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,560
Speaker 14: I hope that the Senate does not support the legislation

1239
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 14: as the House has sent it to it if the

1240
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 14: Senate wishes to take this up. I believe that there

1241
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:43,719
Speaker 14: are a lot of changes that need to be made

1242
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 14: if we're going to look at extending those subsidies, but

1243
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 14: I have voted against that. I do not feel that

1244
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 14: the legislation as it was drafted as in the best

1245
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 14: interest of the American Pumplicy.

1246
01:08:55,920 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 5: Congressman, guest, the Senate. You mentioned them five senators on

1247
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 5: the Republican side, one or two not so much a surprise,

1248
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 5: but there were a few, Josh Holly of Missouri being

1249
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 5: one of them. By the way, President Trump lashing out

1250
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 5: at five up senators after they sided with Democrats and

1251
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 5: advancing emotion designed to block him from taking further military

1252
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 5: action in Venezuela without explicit congressional approval. Your reaction to

1253
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 5: that he was mad and basically said that none of

1254
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 5: the five of those senators should be re elected.

1255
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 2: Your reaction to.

1256
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 14: It, Yeah, Look, look, I applaud I support the actions

1257
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 14: of the president to remove what can only be classified

1258
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 14: as a dictator in Venezuela who was under federal indictment

1259
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 14: in the United States. You know, I tell people back home, look,

1260
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 14: this is not a Republican issue. Democrats were calling for

1261
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 14: his removal under President Joe Biden. You know, if we remember,

1262
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:58,639
Speaker 14: the Secretary of State declared the elections. The Democrat Secretary

1263
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 14: of State at that time, Secretary Blincoln, declared the Venezuela

1264
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 14: elections to be illegitimate, claimed that Maduro had stolen power,

1265
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 14: that he had not been elected. Someone I don't agree

1266
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 14: with very often, Elizabeth Warren. She referred to Maduro as

1267
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 14: a crook, She referred to him as a dictator. She

1268
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:20,640
Speaker 14: referred to him as someone who had defeated the electoral

1269
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 14: process in Venezuela. We know that President Biden put a

1270
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 14: twenty five million dollar bounty for the capture and arrest

1271
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 14: of Nicholas Madua. And so this is an issue that

1272
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 14: we have identified as a country, Republican and Democrats, that

1273
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 14: he is not duly elected, that the elections were stolen,

1274
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 14: that he has chosen to get in bed with narco

1275
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 14: terrorists who were sending illegal drugs in the United States.

1276
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 14: And so I praised the action of the President to

1277
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 14: take a very strategic, very limited military action to send

1278
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 14: forces in to capture Maduro and return him to the

1279
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 14: United States where he can they.

1280
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 2: And trial for the crimes.

1281
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 14: And he's committed very similar to what President Bush did

1282
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 14: with mam Now Norriega back in the late eighties early nineties.

1283
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 14: We know he was a similar situation, illegitately claimed to

1284
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:17,759
Speaker 14: be leader of a country he was under indictment. President

1285
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 14: Bush sent forces in, he was captured and returned to

1286
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,600
Speaker 14: the United States. So there's precedent, there's history for what

1287
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,759
Speaker 14: has occurred, and I thank the President for his bold actions.

1288
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:32,679
Speaker 5: If you would please respond Poll number eight. Here President

1289
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 5: Trump talking about these drug cartels wherever they're found, that

1290
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 5: he's serious about them and may even take it to

1291
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 5: Mexico if need be.

1292
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 15: Listen, we've knocked out ninety seven percent of the drugs

1293
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 15: coming in by water, and we are going to start

1294
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 15: now hitting the land. With regard to the cartels, the

1295
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 15: cartels are running Mexico. It's very sad to watch and

1296
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,080
Speaker 15: see what's happened to that country. But the cartels are running,

1297
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 15: and they're killing two hundred and fifty three hundred thousand

1298
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 15: people in our country every single year the drugs. It's horrible.

1299
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 15: It's devastated families. Jerry lose a child.

1300
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 2: We're a parent.

1301
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 15: I mean, parents are dying too with drugs. So we've

1302
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 15: done a really good job. We're knocking it down. The

1303
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 15: numbers are really getting to be they're always going to

1304
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 15: be too high. I you have one, so.

1305
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, Congressman. The takeaway from that is we're going to

1306
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 5: be hitting land. He said we're going to be dealing

1307
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:26,839
Speaker 5: with Mexico.

1308
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1309
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:29,799
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't want to take it out of context.

1310
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 5: Some interpret it that is, you know, land strikes in Mexico.

1311
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1312
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 5: But the bottom line is he just asks for a

1313
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:39,799
Speaker 5: massive increase in defense spending. We're making moves to legitimately

1314
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 5: try to buy Greenland. We know the aerial strikes mid

1315
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 5: last year of Iran's nuclear program, What's happened in Venezuela,

1316
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 5: these oil tankers that have been seized. He's not fooling around.

1317
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 5: He's clearly flexing here. And now you have four five

1318
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 5: Republicans over in the Senate who said they want to

1319
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,640
Speaker 5: start having a discussion about war powers. I'm all for

1320
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 5: a congressional sign off on anything like that, I agree,

1321
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 5: But I mean, is the president flexing in a way

1322
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 5: that you find surprising or necessary or both?

1323
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 8: You know?

1324
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean I think what the president is doing

1325
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 14: is he is promoting American policy by either the use

1326
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 14: of military force or the threat of use of military force. Look,

1327
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 14: he kind of reminds me of what President Reagan did.

1328
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 14: You know when Reagan was in office. You know, Reagan

1329
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 14: he championed piece through strength. You know, he used our

1330
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 14: military forces to invade Grenada, to overturn a.

1331
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 2: Nation that was.

1332
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 14: Hostile to American interest here in the Western hemisphere. And look,

1333
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 14: you know, I would tell you the president has done

1334
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 14: an amazing job of stopping for first human trafficking along

1335
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,799
Speaker 14: the Southwest border. We saw in November, the last numbers

1336
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 14: that we had that there were thirty thousand encounters along

1337
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:58,679
Speaker 14: the Southwest border. You look at November two years ago

1338
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 14: under President Joe By and that number was three hundred thousand.

1339
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 14: So we have cut the number of encounters across the

1340
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 14: Southwest border during that time period by more than ninety percent.

1341
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 14: We are beginning to see now drug seizures are increasing.

1342
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 14: The President talked about in that interview the fact that

1343
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 14: we are interdicting drugs both at land and at sea.

1344
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 14: The Coast Guard in December had the largest mayortime seizure

1345
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:31,759
Speaker 14: in over twenty years in an operation called Operation Pacific

1346
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 14: Pacific Viper, where over twenty thousand tons of cocaine were

1347
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 14: seized just based on a single mayortime interdiction. And so

1348
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 14: the President is serious. The President is serious, and that

1349
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 14: if Mexican officials are not going to work with United

1350
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 14: States officials to stop the flow of illegal drugs coming

1351
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 14: into the United States, I believe that the President is

1352
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 14: seriously considered taking military action against those cartels that operate

1353
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 14: sometimes with without any restrictions in Mexico and other places

1354
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 14: in Central and South America.

1355
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,640
Speaker 5: Congressman, I know Mississippi. Your constituents largely Trump supporters, So

1356
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 5: what would you say to any of them who are

1357
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 5: critical and say this is not America first? Or my

1358
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 5: argument is the president can walk in chew gum at

1359
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 5: the same time. But there's sort of this thinking that

1360
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 5: because the president is doing so much of this internationally,

1361
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 5: he can't focus on affordability of homes, or lowering Texas

1362
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 5: or making things more affordable, or bringing justice to near

1363
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 5: do wells inside our own shores.

1364
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 2: What would you say?

1365
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 14: You know, look, I think a stable, particularly a stable

1366
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 14: Western hemisphere, is great for America. The last thing we

1367
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 14: want is to have China, to have Russia, to have

1368
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 14: Iran operating in our backyard. You know, you look at

1369
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:52,640
Speaker 14: the Monroe Doctrine. The President Trump is now reinstituting the

1370
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 14: Monroe Doctrine and saying, hey, the Western hemisphere, this is

1371
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 14: controlled by America. We're not going to allow foreign adversaries

1372
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 14: to come in and get in a foothold in our backyard.

1373
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,680
Speaker 14: And look, you know, we cannot take what we do

1374
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 14: in the United States. We cannot become isolationists. We have

1375
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:09,640
Speaker 14: to continue to work with our allies, and we have

1376
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 14: to continue to know that there are adversaries across the

1377
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:16,679
Speaker 14: globe who want to call Americans harm and so again

1378
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 14: the doctrine of peace through strength. Using our military muscle

1379
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 14: at times, I think is going to promote the best

1380
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 14: interests of this country. And I think in the long

1381
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 14: term America will be better off when we use isolated

1382
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 14: military intervention when need.

1383
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 5: Congressman, Guests of Mississippi's in Congressional District House Ethics Chairman,

1384
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 5: I hope we'll be hearing more from you, as some

1385
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 5: members of the House might be getting into some trouble

1386
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:44,360
Speaker 5: this year. To be quite honest with this fraud, we'll

1387
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 5: talk to you next next time. Congress Wan, Happy New year.

1388
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 5: You know we're reconstructing.

1389
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 2: Looking live into luth Minnesota this morning. Happy New Year.

1390
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,719
Speaker 5: This is the first official week being put to bid

1391
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 5: here on the christigone Show of twenty twenty six. And

1392
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 5: you know that one of the new members of the

1393
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,440
Speaker 5: team here in twenty twenty six, he's expanded his footprint

1394
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 5: with the Salem Media Group and the Salem News Channel

1395
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 5: and the Salem Radio Network. I'm talking, of course about

1396
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 5: Scott Jennings and fast Eddie. When we heard that Scott

1397
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 5: was going to start joining us for an expanded amount

1398
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:24,799
Speaker 5: of time here on the network. Well, immediately everyone sprung

1399
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 5: into action. Construction crews were dispatched, and as those of

1400
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 5: you who are listeners of the show and have been

1401
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 5: for a while now, you know, as we were wrapping

1402
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 5: up twenty twenty five, heavy heavy equipment came in these guys.

1403
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 5: Asbestos was raining down from the sky. I mean they

1404
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 5: were our last few shows. Literally, as we're doing the show,

1405
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:44,640
Speaker 5: our team is sitting there in the control room in

1406
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 5: the studios, it's raining asbestos there inhaling. I think they

1407
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 5: probably got toxins in their system. I mean, they probably

1408
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:52,919
Speaker 5: got a lawsuit on their hands, is what I suspect.

1409
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 5: But it's all in the interests of expanding and growing

1410
01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 5: room for Scott. It's what we're calling the Scott Jennings

1411
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 5: Memorial Studios. And he's not even dead. I don't know

1412
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 5: why they've named it that, but they're erecting a statue

1413
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 5: and the lobby and the whole thing. It's a big deal,

1414
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:13,200
Speaker 5: but it takes massive construction. They're spending millions and so

1415
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 5: they got through all of the drilling and the chiseling

1416
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 5: and the heavy stuff. Isn't that about right, fellas Paul

1417
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 5: and g Love and Bobby our audio cowboy. You guys

1418
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 5: are there in the control room where they've been doing

1419
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:29,680
Speaker 5: heavy equipment and movement. Is what's the status there is?

1420
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 5: The Scott Jennings Memorial Studio almost done, as far as.

1421
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 2: I know, we're done. They're done with the jack hammering

1422
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 2: at least that was kind of the worst of it.

1423
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 2: Now they're getting more into framing and dry walling phase.

1424
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, which brings us to today. Because if you thought

1425
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 5: the asbestos you guys were inhaling before was bad, look out.

1426
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:50,560
Speaker 5: We've just seen a sign in the lobby. This is

1427
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 5: an honest to goodness those of you watching on the

1428
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,839
Speaker 5: Salem News Channel, this is a real honest to goodness

1429
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 5: sign hanging this morning as you enter these studios to

1430
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:03,679
Speaker 5: do the Chris Stigaull Show warning laser in use fast Eddie.

1431
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:08,440
Speaker 5: Asbestos raining from the ceiling wasn't enough. Now it's lasers.

1432
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 5: They're telling the christgall Show team, Scott Jennings people are

1433
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 5: telling us be on alert, will fire lasers at you

1434
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:18,920
Speaker 5: like doctor Evil if you if you cross paths with us.

1435
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 5: So that's a legitimate sign hanging in the in the

1436
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:24,759
Speaker 5: entryway as you come in and do the show, warning

1437

1440
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 11: should we all should be wearing hard hats here, right,
