Speaker 2: have a friend at church. This just happened. This week.

25
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: He just texted me today to Chris, thank you for

26
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: sending me to John and his team. I called, he's

27
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 2: in between jobs right now. And one of the biggest

28
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: stressors they had was how are we going to afford

29
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: buying our own health insurance when we're down to one

30
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: income in the house right now? And I said, you've

31
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: got to call John and his team, and they did,

32
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: and they were so relieved that they were actually able

33
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: to get insurance for their family of four without stressing

34
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: or paying some exorbitant sum of money for a Cobra plan.

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: This is the second friend in between jobs who has

36
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: saved hundreds literally hundreds of dollars a month. My parents, seniors,

37
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: and my step parents also seniors. All four of them

38
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: have saved each hundreds of dollars a month with their

59

61
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: but you're not typically awake, and you're like, hey, I

62
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: like this show, but I would never normally wake up

70
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: couple of days on Capitol Hill and at the White House.

71
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,200

Speaker 2: this open Line Friday edition of the show. Here's the

73
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: telephone number, eight five fives to Gall if you'd like

74
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: to get in whatever's on your mind. There are no

75
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: rules on Friday around here. We keep the tradition alive

76
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: like Rush used to do. Open line Friday is your

77
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: chance to call in and talk about whatever you like,

78
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: all right, So doesn't have to be what's on my mind.

79
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: It can be whatever you want to talk about. If

80
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: you don't think it got covered this week, today's the

81
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: day to do it. So eight five fives to Gall

82
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: if you want to get in here. I don't know

83
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: what to say about it. Do you care about missus

84
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: Clinton's testimony about Epstein? Fast Eddie? Do you think the

85
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: Clintons know who Epstein was? And do you think at

86
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: least Bill Clinton. I don't think Hillary Clinton there's a

87
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: lot about her I don't like, but that she's a

88
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: sexual deviant is probably not one of them. I actually

89
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: don't imagine that she has genitalia, if I'm to be

90
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: completely honest with you. Seems sort of more like an automaton,

91
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: like underneath that it's just electronics and nodes that get

92
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: powered on and off. I could see that.

93
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I haven't thought of it that way before,

94
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 7: but yes, that's probably how you deal and be married

95
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 7: for so long as someone like Bill.

96
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's like a sinister supervillain. I don't. I

97
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: don't like. She's not a sexual creature. She's a She's

98
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: a praying mantis. That's how I picture her. So I

99
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: don't really it's rare. I'll give her a pass, but

100
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think the woman is much into

101
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein. Maybe she took some checks, but we all

102
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 2: know it's Bill that was doing the diddling. She's not.

103
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he he's the one that can't keep it

104
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 2: in his pants in that family. I don't she wears

105
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: the pants literally.

106
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 7: It's true, but you know, she did have a lot

107
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 7: to cover up over the years for Bill. So that's

108
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 7: that's something to consider, she.

109
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: Says, And I loved this. She says that anybody and

110
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: I noted this yesterday and her post hearing press conference,

111
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: that anyone that did anything with him, likely most everyone

112
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: that dealt with Jeffrey Epstein, I think she said pre

113
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven, anyone who did anything of any

114
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: kind visited his island or whatever. I don't know, if

115
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: you had an island, then whatever talked with him, did

116
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: business with him, flew with him, ate nine with him, whatever.

117
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: Anybody that did anything with Jeffrey Epstein pre two thousand

118
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: and seven, and that was mostly when the Clintons did

119
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 2: stuff with him, She says, nobody knew what he was

120
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: up to. That was her official line yesterday. And I

121
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: just thought, now, if anyone in the Trump administration had

122
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 2: come out to say nobody knew what Jeffrey Epstein was

123
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: up to prior to two thousand and seven, do you

124
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: think that would wash?

125
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 8: No?

126
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: Of course not. No, I don't either, I laughed out loud.

127
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: I thought, you don't actually think that's going to work,

128
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: do you, sister. I mean, I've been following this stuff

129
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: along with everybody else for a while now, and if

130
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: there's one thing people that are deep in the Jeffrey

131
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: Epstein story don't believe it's that nobody knew what he

132
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: was up to until the first criminal charges surfaced in

133
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven. And then somebody said, yeah, but

134
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: you're her husband's got all these pictures of girls on

135
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: his lap, And she's like, Eh, he didn't. He'll have

136
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: to speak for himself. I mean, do you think they

137
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: talk about this ahead of time he's going in to

138
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: talk today about it? Do you think they had much

139
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: of a discussion? You think their attorney's got together. See,

140
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: I live in a world where the Clintons don't even

141
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: share a bed, if a home. Maybe they're the same home,

142
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: but they're in different wings of the house. I can't

143
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: believe these two people have slept together in thirty years.

144
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: If ever you no, of course not.

145
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 6: So.

146
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm seriously when I ask he's testifying today she did yesterday?

147
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: Do you think they even talk about this? Maybe their

148
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: attorneys do. I mean, does she even care? At this point?

149
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 8: Bill?

150
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: Did you diddle women down there at the island like

151
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: she probably assumes he did. Maybe he just tells her

152
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: he did. I don't know what their arrangement is, but

153
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: have you ever seen a frostier relationship than the two

154
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: of them In my view, absolutely not.

155
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 7: But yeah, but I don't Chris also with this, like, yes,

156
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 7: if they did bad things, I of course.

157
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: Want them to go down.

158
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 7: I do not like the Clinton's well, but I don't

159
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 7: know who is protecting them.

160
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: Are they just that powerful? Like who? I don't know

161
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: that anybody is anymore. I mean, here's a little bit

162
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: of this at number ninety eight. Lauren Bolbert was in

163
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: the hearings yesterday and she snapped the photo of missus

164
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: Clinton and then put it out online via x. I

165
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: think Benny Johnson's account was the one she sent it to,

166
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: and he posted it and she freaked out and the

167
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: hearing shut down for a while because there weren't supposed

168
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: to be any photos, any recordings, anything in the hearing.

169
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: Number ninety eight.

170
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 9: Here the chronology of the connection that he had with

171
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 9: Epstein ended years several years before anything about Epstein's criminal

172
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 9: activities came to life, and that he was charged and

173
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 9: sadly given a sweetheart deal, which, as I said in

174
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 9: my statement, had that not happened, perhaps his predatory behavior

175
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 9: could have been stopped earlier.

176
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: But I think it is fair.

177
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 9: To say that the vast majority of people who had

178
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 9: contact with him before his criminal please in eight were

179
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 9: like most people, they did not know what.

180
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: He was doing.

181
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 9: And I think that that is exactly what my husband

182
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 9: will testify to tomorrow.

183
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: She thinks that struck me. She thinks that's what her

184
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: husband will testify to tomorrow. She can't say for sure.

185
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: When she said I think that's what my husband will

186
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: testify to, I thought to myself, I wonder if they literally?

187
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: I wondered, did they even talk about hey, Bill before

188
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 2: I go in and make a jackass of myself? How

189
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: many women did you screw down there? How many of

190
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: them were underage? Do you have any idea of Bill?

191
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: And then the most uncomfortable subject came up the fact that,

192
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: even though she says, everything that was bad about the

193
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: guy only came to light after they had anything to

194
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: do with him, one random act of journalism broke out

195
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: and Hillary didn't stick around for it long. And why

196
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: was Gallainne Maxwell at your daughter's wedding? Number ninety nine?

197
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 10: And I asked, why was Colleen Maxwell? I thought at

198
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 10: Chelsea Clinton's wedding in two thousand and ten, she'd already

199
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 10: been mentioned in a civil lawsuit by Fortunior Jeffrey Before that,

200
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 10: Jeffrey Epstein called anything convince you before that?

201
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 9: She came as the plus one, the guest of someone

202
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 9: who was invited, and with.

203
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: That cartoon puff of smoke. So is that good enough

204
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: for you?

205
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 8: Ed?

206
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: Like, if you're hip deep in the Jeffrey Epstein story,

207
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: and I know there's a chunk of the audience, how

208
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: big it is, I don't know. Her rumpers are not

209
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 2: particularly interested in the Epstein story per my poll, my

210
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: unscientific poll. But if you are one of those people,

211
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: are you satisfied with her answers? I'm not really no,

212
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: of course not. Gallaine Maxwell was at their daughter's wedding

213
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: because she was the guest of a plus one. They

214
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: actually invited somebody else and they brought Elaine along and

215
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: they've been and Elaine left a queens An art or

216
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: something as a gift. So that you know, it's not

217
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: their not their fault. They don't know nothing about it. Sure, yeah,

218
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: he just brought the bread baker. Just this is what

219
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: I do, like I see it. I feel obligated to

220
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: talk about this because I know and I'm not dismissive

221
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: about the crimes of it. I understand the severity of

222
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: the whole story. I do. It's just I here we

223
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: are with all of this, and it just it's a

224
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: It's a story that will never die on purpose. It's

225
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: not meant to die. There will never be solutions to it.

226
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: But as far as the Clintons are concerned, Bill testifies today,

227
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: I suspect he's not going to come out and take

228
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: questions the way she is. That would be my hunch,

229
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: and he's the one I think more of us would

230
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: like to hear from. Again. I rarely give missus Clinton

231
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: a pass on anything. I think she's downright sinister. But

232
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: I actually don't think the comtry. I don't think the

233
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: Clintons hate the country quite like Barack Obama, Kamala Harris

234
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: and the people around them do. I actually to Clintons,

235
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: as I've always said, her hillbillies. At their core, they're

236
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: Arkansas Hillbillies. And I mean that with all due respect

237
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: and love to my Arkansas friends. I'm a Missouri and

238
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: you understand, so I know of what I speak here.

239
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: Spent a great deal of my life in the ozarkss

240
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: So I mean it. In the most loving way. These

241
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: people are hillbillies who came in the money. These are

242
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: the people that win the lottery ticket and then blow

243
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 2: it all on more lottery tickets. You know who I'm

244
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: talking about, And they did. They just threw Bill's sheer

245
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: political force and magnetism. They rose to the ranks. She

246
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: hitched her wagon to him. She was never likable. She

247
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: was always considered the a nurse ratchet of the organization.

248
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: He was always the smiley one who felt everybody's pain

249
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: and then felt a lot of other things too, So

250
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: his problem was he couldn't keep it in his pants.

251
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: She was always the opportunistic frosty box who was just

252
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: thinking about nothing but seizing power at all times. I

253
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: don't think they hated the country. I think they just

254
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: saw the country as an opportunity to enrich themselves, and

255
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: that's what they did. Anytime they had an opportunity to

256
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: line their pockets, she took it. Anytime he could ask

257
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: someone to put their hand in his pocket, he'd ask

258
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: and they'd do it. So between the two of them,

259
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: I think she's greedy and power hungry. I think he's

260
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: just perpetually horny Eddie, and that in my view is

261
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: pretty much the Clintons, So I'm not particularly interested in

262
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: what she has to say about Epstein. I think it's

263
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: all Bill today. That's who I want to hear from.

264
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, I can understand that, Yes, it's you know,

265
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 7: maybe she's Yeah, now, let's hear from Bill.

266
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: Why we're in the pool. Let's be in the pool.

267
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: You know. I understand some of you may disagree and

268
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: you don't want to give Hillary a pass. But of

269
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: all the things that she's done, and there are many,

270
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: chief among them trying to frame the president and establish

271
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: a coup, which is a bigger deal in many ways,

272
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: I don't think she's much interested in sex at all,

273
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: to be honest. More in a minute Open line Friday

285
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: had a great conversation yesterday with uh I guess now

286
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: two days ago at the White House with Doug Collins.

287
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: A lot of veterans in this audience, a lot of

288
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: you that get services through the VA. We love checking

289
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: in with the man responsible for taking care of those

290
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: who've served this country and how things are progressing. In fact,

291
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: he says, the backlog of services at the VA has

292
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: been greatly frittered away under Trump's leadership, among other things.

293
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 2: So we'll talk with him. Also, those of you who

294
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: are in small business in this audience, and I know

295
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: that's the vast majority of this country is employed by

296
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: what is considered by definition of small business. Do you

297
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: know what defines a small business? By the way, I

298
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: asked Kelly Leffler, who is the head of the Small

299
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: Business Administration for the Trump administration. Coming up. The deal

300
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: is I'll just put a ball on this Epstein stuff

301
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: by saying, if Hillary is doing anything, she's doing what

302
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: she's always done ahead of Bill Clinton's testimony today, She's

303
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: setting an artificial timeline. It's worth repeating that President Trump

304
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: knew well what Gallaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were up

305
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: to when the Palm Beach sheriff reached out and testified

306
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: ultimately here recently that President Trump, well before Epstein was

307
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: ever arrested or charged, he knew what they were up to,

308
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: said they were disgusting people, and he was glad that

309
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: they were in being investigated by the Palm Beach officials

310
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: because it needed happen. They were bad people. He banned

311
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: them from the club. So Hillary's setting this artificial timeline

312
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: that two thousand and seven, anybody that did anything with

313
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: him prior to two thousand and seven is in the clear.

314
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: It's a fake timeline to do what she's always done,

315
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: lie on behalf of her husband. And why does she

316
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: do that? Because the gravy train is still her husband.

317
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: That's this is what must burn her more than anything else.

318
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: And I do think about this with her a lot.

319
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: Why is she such a miserable, sad sack of a

320
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: human being? Why is she so angry? First of all,

321
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: she one hundred percent hates men, hates men. She is

322
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: the kind of woman that just reeks of I hate men.

323
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: I don't want anything to do with men. I wish

324
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: I didn't have to be married. I wish I didn't

325
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: have to deal with this horny hillbilly that I'm pretending

326
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: to be married to. But the only reason she's a

327
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: thing at all, the only reason she sold books, the

328
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: only reason she became a senator, the only reason she

329
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: became Secretary of State, the only reason she is in

330
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: news media today. The only reason she gets invited to

331
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: Rachel Maddow's show is because she was married to the

332
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: horny hillbilly. The only reason she gets a nice house

333
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: and gets security detail, and gets a wardrobe, and gets

334
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: whatever she wants and flies around and is paid to

335
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: speak and paid very well to speak. The only reason

336
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: any of that exists is because of her horny hillbilly husband.

337
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: Triple h. And I imagine that deep down that makes

338
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: her full of rage that we probably can't quite quantify.

339
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: And in a little tiny way, I guess I can

340
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: kind of empathize with her a bit. She had these

341
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: grand aspirations of taking over the healthcare system. She had

342
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: these grand aspirations of running for president. She was defeated twice,

343
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: and she was defeated by I mean, think of it,

344
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: Barack Obama effectively and then Donald Trump in no particular order. Oh,

345
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: she wanted to be history cackle brit just took that

346
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 2: from her. But she has to defend her horny hillbilly

347
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: husband because he's still the gravy train. The House Freedom

348
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: Caucus released a devastating ad yesterday on social media basically

349
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: badgering the Republicans Thoon and the Republicans of the Senate

350
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: to pass the Save Act. One of the featured members

351
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: of the House Freedom Caucus is Scott Perry, our friend

352
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: from Pennsylvania's eighth congressional district, and we talked with him

353
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill this week. Here's some of that conversation.

354
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 11: In proximity to the enemy, right, and people don't realize

355
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 11: how close their enemies are. They're literally just completely surrounded

356
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 11: within minutes, within minutes of the whole country being obliterated.

357
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 11: So for the things that are being said about them,

358
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 11: for instance, I had a meeting with the Prime Minister,

359
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 11: had a meeting with the ambassador with the Speaker of

360
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 11: the House over there, talked about a relationship with the

361
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 11: president and said, what do you think of this? What

362
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 11: is your position on that? Those kind of questions, Almost

363
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 11: everyone said, it is your president that decides. It is

364
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 11: your president. It's Donald Trump that decide. It's America that decides.

365
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 8: You know.

366
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 11: There there's this this fallacy in my opinion, that somehow

367
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 11: Israel's telling the United States what to do, right right. Sure,

368
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 11: I'm sure they have an opinion on what would be

369
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 11: better for them, But I don't think they're telling us

370
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 11: what to do. I think we're telling them what we're

371
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 11: going to do, and they can either like it or

372
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 11: not like it.

373
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you get the impression that this president in

374
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 2: any way is moved to do anything that is not

375
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: of the best interest of the United States when talking

376
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: about Israel.

377
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 11: No, the President is obviously, you know, the America First Agenda,

378
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 11: but it includes a conversation with Israel because they are

379
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 11: the only country that essentially they're almost like another state,

380
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 11: but they're located over there in this horrific neighborhood.

381
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: Someone criticized the Prime Minister's visit seven times since the

382
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: President's been back in the way House in the last year,

383
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: as though that's something of which to be critical. Do

384
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: you see that as a criticism?

385
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 11: Now, there's a lot going on in the neighborhood, and

386
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 11: we're involved, So it'd be good to know what our friend,

387
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 11: our only real ally in the neighborhood, not an ally

388
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 11: of necessity, not an ally of convenience. These are our

389
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 11: brothers and sisters who stand for the same things we do.

390
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 11: And there's no one else in that whole region of

391
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 11: the world anything like them. They're governance, the democracy, the

392
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 11: care and the respect for all peoples. There's no other

393
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 11: country like that. Why wouldn't we want to talk with them?

394
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: And when we talk about lobbying, the thing that I've

395
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: never thought was very fair or honest. If you want

396
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: to talk about Israeli lobbying, fine, but that it would

397
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: be wholly disingenuous to suggest they're the only lobbying nation.

398
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: In Washington, d c.

399
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 11: It seems to me that the Communist Party of China

400
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 11: spends a lot of money in the United States of America.

401
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 11: Have you heard of Confucius institutes or looked at the

402
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 11: amount of money they spend on Chinese students in America?

403
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 11: How about Cutter, how about Katar? How much do they

404
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 11: spend how about Sadi Arabia? How much do they spend? Yeah,

405
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 11: I'm sure that North Korea doesn't spend a lot, But

406
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 11: what about Russia. This has been going on for a

407
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 11: very very long time. And if somebody's going to spend

408
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 11: money in America, my goodness, I sure rather it be

409
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 11: someone who's friendly as opposed to our enemies.

410
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 2: You are consistently targeted as one of those Republicans Democrats

411
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: would love nothing more than to see defeated your district,

412
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 2: in particular in Pennsylvania. They're zeroing in on you again.

413
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: Every time you appear on the show. They're out there

414
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: watching in every move, every word you speak. They watch you.

415
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 11: Why well, because I'm saying it the way it is.

416
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 11: I'm telling the truth no matter whether they or anybody

417
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 11: likes or not. People know I'm critical of the left.

418
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 11: On occasion, I'm critical of my own party. Were we

419
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 11: all fall short of the grace of God. If I

420
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 11: see something wrong, I'm going to say something about it.

421
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 11: What the left always demands, and certainly in a district

422
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 11: like mine, which is a little closer numerically, they demand compliance,

423
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 11: obedience to their message, and if you will not cowtow

424
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 11: to them, if you will not bend the knee, they

425
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 11: cannot accept that. And by the way, it's not just

426
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 11: my district, it's around the world, it's around the country,

427
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 11: it's around all the states. They demand compliance, fealty, and obedience,

428
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 11: and if you don't bend the knee, they come for you.

429
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 11: They really expect me to do it in my district.

430
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 11: And look, the truth doesn't have an agenda, so you

431
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 11: can just tell it the way it is and people

432
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 11: can see it for what it is that upsets them.

433
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: I know you have not. I mean, you've been candid

434
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 2: with me on the show. The Speaker Johnson has not

435
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: always necessarily, i think, push for the things you value.

436
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: As the immediate pastor of chair of the Freedom Caucus,

437
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: there are things that you'd like him to expedite that

438
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: he hasn't. Let me ask you about the voters who

439
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 2: reach out to our show and say they want to

440
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: see prosecutions. For instance, you've certainly been the target of

441
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: an oversus doj under Biden. Is that is that I

442
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 2: just talked to Congressman Jordan a little while ago. Is

443
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: that a fair critique or is it that the wheels

444
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 2: of justice grind slowly and we need to understand that

445
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: and be patient.

446
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, the wheels of justice, actual justice do grind on slowly,

447
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 11: and we do need to be patient.

448
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: However, it's been over a year.

449
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 11: The Attorney General's there, the director of the FBI is there.

450
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 11: They've been in place, and do you like them or

451
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 11: are they doing a good job.

452
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm not a lawyer.

453
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 11: I just feel like things are moving too slowly to

454
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 11: satisfy the American people. And I'm concerned about things like

455
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 11: statutes of limitations that have run out or are about

456
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 11: to run out on certain things. And like I said,

457
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 11: I'm not a lawyer, but we know for sure that

458
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 11: there was an abuse of power. And by the way,

459
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 11: if you're not even going to go after what happened

460
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 11: in the past, let's go after what's.

461
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 2: Being advertised right now.

462
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 11: They're going to send this flotilla down to to give

463
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 11: aid and comfort to our enemy. That's against the law,

464
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 11: and they name themselves in the organizations. I'm going to

465
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 11: write a letter to the Journey General. Are we going

466
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 11: to prosecute this or are you going to investigate this?

467
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 11: Are these people not going to be held accountable for

468
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 11: the subversion of America and American governance? You know, yes,

469
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 11: Americans want to see accountability and they've seen it falsely

470
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 11: targeted against people for their political beliefs. But yeah, I

471
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 11: was one for sure, and it's all pretty much come

472
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 11: out now. I mean, I imagine there's more with arctic

473
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 11: frosted proofs that they were just coming after me because

474
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 11: I questioned things that aren't allowed to be questions. I

475
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 11: stood with the president on many things and they cannot

476
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 11: accept that. And so, yeah, you're not supposed to use

477
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 11: the awesome, irresistible power of the federal government to prosecute

478
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 11: and persecute your political enemies. But they did, and there's

479
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 11: been zero accountability for that.

480
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: By the way, Susan Rice just said, as you heard

481
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: in the podcast interview this week, boy we get back

482
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: at it. We're going to let you have it again.

483
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.

484
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 11: So the only way I think to chill that is

485
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 11: to really investigate them and if appropriate, press charges and.

486
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: Let's see where those things go. Congressman, here's always been

487
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 2: my curiosity. President Trump, better than probably anyone in this town,

488
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 2: understands political persecution. You do, I know you have alliances

489
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: with him. You've probably spoken with him, maybe recently. I

490
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 2: don't think he's unaware or not passionate about seeing justice

491
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: done here. So for those that would say Pam Bondi's

492
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: not the person to get it done, he still seems to.

493
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 11: Think so, yeah, maybe look and maybe he knows more

494
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 11: than the rest of us do. There's a thing that

495
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 11: at least we try ithre to on the right, that

496
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 11: the justice, the judicial system of which you know even

497
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 11: that's the executive branch and the attorney general. Once it

498
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 11: gets into that realm, you don't ask a lot of

499
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 11: questions because you don't want to unduly steer it in

500
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 11: a way that is partisan, that is biased, because we

501
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 11: want justice to be blind. Look, the left, of course

502
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 11: doesn't bother with any of that, but we still think

503
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 11: that that's appropriate and we really can't imagine ourselves doing otherwise.

504
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 11: So we're patient, we're hopeful, but we are frustrated at

505
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 11: this point.

506
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: What would you tell the average voter who's frustrated like

507
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 2: you right now? Do we trust this president's judgment that

508
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 2: Pam Bondi is still the person to get it done?

509
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 2: Or is it time to make a change. Is he

510
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: too busy to know?

511
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 11: I don't think I don't think you can say that

512
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 11: about this president with anything. I don't think he's too

513
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 11: busy to recognize the circumstance. I think he's heard it

514
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 11: from a lot of people. I know he's heard it

515
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 11: from me because I've told him, and so, like I said,

516
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 11: I'm very hopeful that he knows things that I don't.

517
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: Has he ever told you, Scott, I know things you

518
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: don't know. No, he hasn't.

519
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 11: But I will tell you that people that have been

520
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 11: within the administration, that have been oblique to the conversation

521
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 11: have said, it's just around the corner on occasion.

522
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: So got it? All right? Fair enough? How about this

523
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: house in which you work? Do you see anything coming

524
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: down the pike? And I know some of it gets

525
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: bottlenecked In the Senate, you're only one chamber that you

526
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: could really wave proudly before the fall for momentum. You know,

527
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 2: I know you've done the same act French, just the

528
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 2: big beautiful bill last year. You see something fundamental like

529
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 2: that coming out of the House before November.

530
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 11: Well, the House just passed the Save Act again. I

531
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 11: think it is the most fundamental thing that we have done,

532
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 11: and quite honestly, I think we're going to have to

533
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 11: use our energy to pressure the Senate to pass it,

534
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 11: because in the old days, people kind of understood. Look,

535
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 11: my member of Congress would come and say, we passed it,

536
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 11: but it's stuck in the Senate. And people would say, well,

537
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 11: that makes sense. You did your job. We can't force

538
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 11: you to do somebody else's job. America is not like

539
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 11: this anymore. We understand and demand that things get accomplished,

540
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 11: not just you passed it in the House. That's only

541
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 11: half the equation. We need a presidential signature on something

542
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 11: is important. Look, if if the new mayor of New

543
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 11: York can require identification to shovel snow, my goodness. Most

544
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 11: Americans left right center believe that you should provide verification

545
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 11: of citizenship and who you are before you decide the

546
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 11: course of your country. Right, and so the old ways

547
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 11: aren't going to work. They have to pass it one

548
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 11: way or the other.

549
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: Yes, And if John Thune won't, does that mean perilous,

550
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 2: perilous future politically for both House Republicans and maybe even Senate.

551
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 11: I think I think it puts everything into question. Like

552
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 11: I said, so he holds the keys to momentum here, John,

553
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 11: I think he does. If you want to inspire people

554
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 11: that voted for a change to voted to fix these things.

555
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 11: To repair these things, then when you have the opportunity,

556
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 11: you must repair them if you choose not to.

557
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: And it's a choice, right. I didn't say it was easy.

558
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: That's our conversation with Congressman Scott Perry. And so the

559
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: question is what will John Thun do talking about the

560
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: Save Act. No, this is getting just getting frustrating. There

561
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: seems to be a lot of tap dancing around the issue.

562
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 2: In fact, when we get back, I'll let you know

563
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: what he said lately. Hang on, let me get to

564
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: Thune quickly, because I said I was going to the

565
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 2: Save Act. Getting a little wobbly here this talking filibuster.

566
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: That is all right. If you're not going to blow

567
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: up the filibuster, then make the Democrats go to the

568
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 2: floor and do the old school mister Smith goes to

569
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 2: Washington and defend the fact that they don't want legal

570
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: identification shown when we vote in this country. Make the

571
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: Democrats actually say it on the floor. If you're not

572
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: going to blow up the filibuster. Here's what Thune said

573
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 2: about it at number ninety six. We want to get

574
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 2: to the Save Act.

575
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: We also as I mentioned we've got a housing bill

576
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 3: that we can pivot back and forth to if we

577
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: get a deal to open up the government. That's harder

578
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 3: to do once you're in the throes of a talking filibuster.

579
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 3: The talking filibuster issue is one on which there is

580
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 3: not certainly a unified Republican conference, and there would have

581
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 3: to be if you go down that path. You're talking

582
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: about the need to table what are going to be

583
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 3: numerous amendments and an ability to keep fifty Republicans unified

584
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: pretty much on every single vote, and there's just not

585
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 3: There isn't support for doing that at.

586
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: This point, as I've said, and we will.

587
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: We will get on it, and we will have a

588
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: vote on.

589
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 8: The Save Act.

590
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 3: The context of that, the process in which we consider

591
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: it is still an open question, but one that we're

592
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 3: having conversations about, but clearly not a not a unified

593
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 3: position at least among Republicans.

594
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. Meanwhile, President Trump is headed to Texas today.

595
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 2: There's a bidder Republican primary battle down there. Cornyan is

596
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: one of the Republican Senate members who's up. Trump is

597
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: not endorsed yet.

598
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 8: Ed.

599
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: Now, when you're talking about the Save Act, you need

600
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: a guy like Corn's vote right now? Do you go

601
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: down there and poke the bearhead? Does Trump stay quiet

602
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: or does he endorse when he goes down to Texas today?

603
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: If you're thinking strategically on votes in the Senate right now,

604
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: a man, if he has to endorse Corning, Ah, maybe

605
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: not at all. Maybe he says nothing. But that's sort

606
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: of that's sort of undo itself a comment, isn't it?

607
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 12: It is?

608
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it is. So what do you do if

609
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: you're Trump you need his vote? Do you go down

610
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: there and say, I'll do this for you, but you

611
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: better better vote for everything I need. I don't want

612
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: to lose you in the Senate right now? He should

613
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: tump do it? Oh man, sure, I guess today. Let's

614
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 2: go to Mike in Iowa on open Line Friday. Hey Mike,

615
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: good morning, Chris, Good morning, Chris, how you doing? Good morning?

616
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 2: What's up your mind?

617
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 13: Mike bett Ol. I just wanted to say we old

618
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 13: President Trump a debt, a huge debt of gratitude for

619
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 13: all that he's done. I'm so appreciative, but we have

620
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 13: to do our jobs on the midterm. It's up to us.

621
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,479
Speaker 13: We have to do it or everything stops Chris.

622
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: So for people that are ticked off at the Senate,

623
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: then save act issue. They're not feeling particularly motivated. We

624
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: know the Democrats are. What do you say to Republicans

625
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 2: who are frustrated and unmotivated right now?

626
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 13: Well, I say that we have the power to keep

627
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 13: this thing going, and yeah we are. People are upset.

628
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 13: I understand that. But I'm optimistic because of all the

629
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 13: good things. He doesn't get enough credit. He fights for

630
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 13: us every day. You know, all right, I love it.

631
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: I love your optimism. I love your optimism. That's what

632
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 2: the State of the Union was all about. I share it. Yeah,

633
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 2: sitting it out, sitting on your hands, sitting at home

634
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: on this primary season, that is not a strategy for victory.

635
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: Moren a minute, Thanks Mike. I don't know about you.

636
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: If you have yo yo dieted all of your life,

637
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 2: I certainly have Keto paleo, weight watchers, intermittent fasting. You

638
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: lose weight, and I have. I've lost dramatica ounts of

639
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: weight before, only to gain it back and then some.

640
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: And you probably kick yourself for it, and you think

641
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 2: it's all about your own willpower and your own lack

642
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: of discipline. Look, maybe either's some of that, but the

643
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 2: real truth of it is it was not strictly about willpower.

644
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: There is one thing only that determines whether your body

645
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 2: burns fat or storespat. And if you don't know how

646
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 2: to fix that, every diet you're ever going to try fails.

647
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: That's all that changed for me was looking at it differently,

648
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: and PhD Weight Loss told me how to look at

649
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: it differently. Doctor Ashley Lucas and I started talking about

650
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: her program and why it's worked so well for some

651
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: of my colleagues, and how she's different. And so when

652
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: I went on this program last year and I began

653
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: to eat real food, I didn't have to take any

654
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: kind of shots or any kind of gimmicky drugs or

655
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 2: anything like that. It was just purely understanding how my

656
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: body best metabolizes food, when to eat, what to eat,

657
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: and not starving myself by the way. And here's the deal.

658
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 2: You start to have real victories quickly, and I lost

659
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: over forty pounds in under four months time. Fast Eddie,

660
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: our executive producer, was so impressed with it, he said,

661
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind trying it. I said, how much you

662
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: want to lose. He said fifty pounds. So we dialed

663
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: up Ashley Lucas and I said, can Eddie lose fifty

664
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: pounds along with me here? And she said, oh absolutely,

665
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: Let's give it till May. So he started the program. Folks,

666
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: he is already halfway to his goal after just thirteen

667
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: weeks or so. So, I mean, you're talking about over

668
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: twenty five pounds in a matter of weeks. That could

669
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: be your story.

670
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 8: Now.

671
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 2: I have managed to lose that kind of weight last

672
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: year and coming into a new year keeping that weight off.

673
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: That's the first time in my weight loss history that

674
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: I've lost that kind of weight and maintained the weight loss.

675
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: Because at PhD Weight Loss, they've identified that one thing

676
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: about your system that you can kick into action and

677
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: help you lose that weight and keep the body working

678
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: for you, not against you. And if you call right now,

679
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 2: they're going to give you two free weeks of the program.

680
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 2: You pay for food, all right, just for food, and

681
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 2: they'll give you two free weeks of the program so

682
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: you can finally see real results without more trial and error.

683
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 2: If you're done with the yo yo dieting thing and

00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 14: two favorite people on the Sale News Channel. I'm just

737
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 14: wanting to say.

738
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: Well, that's good company. I'll take it. Thank you very much,

739
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: Adore Larry, I agree.

740
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 14: With you quite welcome, and I'm not trying to take

741
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 14: over your show. But I have three topics that iwable

742
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 14: would like to touch.

743
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: Well, can you pick one because I got to get

744
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: to the secretary in just a minute, So give me

745
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: one and then I'll take you the other two off

746
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: line if I could.

747
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 14: Okay, let's go with the beef. I grew up in Ohio,

748
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 14: and when I grew up in Ohio. Ohio used to

749
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 14: be a big black angus and brown angus beef state,

750
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 14: as well as a milk stake with Jerseys. And then

751
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 14: I watched Governor Voinnebits pass a twenty five dollars flashlam

752
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 14: attacks on that state for each cow each year, and

753
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 14: I watched that whole state do a complete up end

754
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 14: of either going to grain hogs or chickens. And you know,

755
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 14: you wonder why the beef prices and the hamburger price

756
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 14: is so high. We've got states can produce beef year

757
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 14: round and get a majority of beef on the market

758
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 14: in the United States instead of exporting and importing from

759
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 14: Mexico and Canada, we wouldn't have some high prices.

760
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, that's one of the huge problems. And I

761
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 2: learned some more from Capitol Hill that I'll share with

762
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: you coming up a little later in the show. But

763
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: here's my conversation with Lee Leffler small Business Administration. Miss

764
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 2: Lefflert is good to be with you.

765
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 15: Thank you, Chris.

766
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: It's great honor.

767
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: I saw you last night on the floor watching all

768
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 2: of the various members of the cabinet there on the floor.

769
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 2: Must have been a proud evening for you. I think

770
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: in terms of accomplishments record speech, there was a lot

771
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: to talk about.

772
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: There was so much to talk about.

773
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,479
Speaker 15: I think the President did an exceptional job talking about

774
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 15: an exceptional nation and the fact that he's restoring it

775
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 15: to that height, and not just economically but on a

776
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 15: world stage, but most importantly economically. I mean, there's so

777
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 15: much work to do. I think he covered so much ground.

778
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 15: He's going to take some time to digest.

779
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: All of it.

780
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 2: Yes, small business in this country a year into the

781
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: Trump administration has changed.

782
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: Hows Oh my goodness.

783
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,959
Speaker 15: We're Look, we're on the precipice of the best small

784
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 15: business environment that we've ever had as a nation. So

785
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 15: under President Trump, we now have thirty six million small businesses.

786
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: That's a record in America.

787
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 15: Now they make up ninety nine percent of all businesses

788
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 15: and they create two out of every three new jobs.

789
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: And that's what we need in this country.

790
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 15: We need to get back to the private sector, free

791
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 15: enterprise focus that we had before Joe Biden. During Trump one,

792
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 15: we had record small business formation. We're back to that already,

793
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 15: and thanks to the One Big, Beautiful Bill, the passage

794
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 15: that really put permanence on the twenty percent pastor deduction

795
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,479
Speaker 15: and the expensing. You know, we now have record small

796
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 15: business optimism above it's fifty two year average, and according

797
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 15: to the US Chamber, we had record small business confidence

798
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,959
Speaker 15: in the third quarter last year right after the passage.

799
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 13: Of the bill.

800
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: The no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. How

801
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 2: big a deal is that to the small business owner that.

802
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 15: You talk to, Well, it's critical because now small business

803
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 15: is number one concern is finding skilled workers.

804
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: They need workers.

805
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 15: It used to be concerns on inflation, and look, we're

806
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 15: still pushing back on the Biden inflation that was created

807
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 15: over the last four years. But what they're focus on

808
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 15: now is how do we encourage more workers into the

809
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 15: workforce so that lower tax rate on tips and overtime

810
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 15: is going to be huge.

811
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: I've talked to.

812
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 15: Workers on factory floors. It said we were previously discouraged

813
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 15: from working over time because it would be a taxed away,

814
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 15: so that extra time I'd rather be with my family

815
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 15: if I'm not going to get paid over time.

816
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: Now they are.

817
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: What's considered by definition of small business in the United

818
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: States today.

819
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: It's a great question.

820
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 15: It's about five hundred employees, but at a manufacturer you

821
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 15: can have up to fifteen hundred employees and then there's

822
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 15: a net worth base. But that makes about ninety eight

823
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 15: percent of all America's manufacturers a small business.

824
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: That's huge, and the President's goal is to bring more

825
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: of that manufacturing here home. Have you seen evidence of that,

826
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: That is operations that may be operated overseas and are

827
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 2: now coming back here.

828
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

829
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 15: In fact, for the last year, I've been on a

830
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 15: national manufacturing tour, so I've walked dozens of factory floors,

831
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 15: talked to businesses who are expanding, who are breaking ground,

832
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 15: having groundbreakings, hiring, doubling their size in some case.

833
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: Is there a particular area of business that's growing.

834
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 15: Well, I've seen everything from defense and aerospace to food

835
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 15: to pharmaceutical And the incentives are there. That's in the

836
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 15: tax bill, the Working Famili's tax cut, so one hundred

837
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 15: percent expensing form made in America factories is huge, So

838
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 15: it's really a great incentive. And then the ability that

839
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 15: the President has opened through fair trade, tearing down these

840
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 15: non tariff trade barriers, not just the tariff trade barriers

841
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 15: that we were subject to going into other countries, but

842
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 15: allowing our goods to go into other countries where they

843
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 15: were previously blocked. And this is something no one talks about,

844
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 15: but our manufacturers see it. That's why some are doubling

845
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 15: in size.

846
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: In the years that I've been privileged enough to walk

847
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: a factory floor, to through media tours, members of Congress

848
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 2: or what have you, I remember hearing about the issue

849
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: of intellectual property theft from China. Is that still a

850
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 2: real issue and are we getting better about that?

851
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 15: I know we're getting better, but it's an issue. And

852
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 15: that's why so many manufacturers, once they do bring their

853
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 15: manufacturing back or produce, they say I didn't realize the

854
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 15: extent to which I was. My hands were really tied

855
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 15: by the Chinese. Because what happened is they not only

856
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 15: do they steal my pe and then sell it the

857
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 15: product more cheaply, but I didn't have control over my

858
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 15: turnaround times. My consumer preferences would change before the products

859
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 15: were shipped back. The quality control, I lost control over that.

860
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 15: So it's everything control over IP quality, turnaround times, and

861
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 15: then controlling the manufacturing supply chain so that you can

862
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 15: have control over your costs. So long term this will

863
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 15: be net net good for pricing in America.

864
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 2: Do you think that through the COVID era and the

865
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 2: supply chain crisis that we faced there, do you think

866
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 2: that caused a lot of small business folks that did

867
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: manufacture overseas to rethink that, Particularly with the incentives that

868
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 2: the presidents now implemented financially, our small business is saying,

869
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 2: maybe it's best we try to do business here.

870
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 15: It's an important question because during COVID we did, and

871
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 15: then the Biden administration did nothing about it. When I

872
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 15: was in the Senate in twenty twenty, I introduced legislation

873
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 15: to bring back these critical industries. Obviously, when the Biden

874
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 15: administration came in, they just doubled down on overseas manufacturing.

875
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 15: But people now are saying, yeah, we actually it's a

876
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 15: consumer preference for me made in America. So not only

877
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 15: is it good business, but it's good for our customers.

878
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 2: The ultimate outcome of a small business moving back here

879
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 2: to the United States, you want it to be obviously,

880
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 2: tax friendly to them. Hiring health insurance is a huge,

881
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 2: huge issue. I know, have you heard much on small

882
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: business hiring in terms of health insurance benefits? And if

883
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 2: that's a struggle for me.

884
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 15: I've heard it from the first day that I was

885
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 15: in the Senate, but I also heard it growing up

886
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 15: as a young person, and then when I started my

887
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 15: own small businesses. I know, watching my parents run our

888
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 15: farm and a small trucking company. It's always been a challenge.

889
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 15: After Obama Care, though, it became a real challenge, and

890
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 15: the cost of medical care is off the charts. And

891
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 15: that's why I'm so grateful to the President for recognizing

892
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 15: that the dollars are simply being fueled into health insurance

893
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 15: that have massive control over the delivery of healthcare written

894
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 15: large in this industry, not just insurance, but for prescriptions

895
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 15: for doctors. And so the President is saying, look, I

896
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 15: want this choice to go back to the American people

897
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 15: on how their dollars are allocated. And it's exciting to

898
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 15: see in the one big, beautiful bill there's expanded health

899
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 15: savings accounts too.

900
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: Isn't it strange to see last night that the President

901
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: says no more funneling taxpayer dollars to big insurance companies

902
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 2: and the Democrats they seated, I mean, twenty three years ago,

903
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: I think the script would have been flipped entirely. Now

904
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 2: to see the Democrats seemingly siding with large insurance companies.

905
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 15: Well, I think he ripped the mask off Obamacare. I mean,

906
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 15: that's effectively what has happened. And it's the maybe unintended consequence.

907
00:44:58,920 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: Who knows.

908
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 15: This is what happens when you get rid of the

909
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 15: free enterprise, the marketplace of competition, and you push it

910
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 15: into a government controlled program.

911
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: And this is what the President's trying undo.

912
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 2: What was your impression there, I'll let you go on this.

913
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: Your impression being there on the floor. I know you've

914
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 2: sat through a couple of these State of the unions.

915
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 2: Last night was uniquely different. I just the vibe, the tone,

916
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: the President's delivery, the response to it. What was your

917
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: sense of it in the room?

918
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 15: Well, first of all, the President ensured everyone knew that

919
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 15: America is exceptional and we are going to stand for America.

920
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 15: But he also wanted to draw the contrast that Democrats

921
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 15: do not believe that they're up here to fight for

922
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 15: the American people. And when he asked the question and said,

923
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 15: stand up if you believe that you're here to keep

924
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 15: protect the security of the American people and Democrats didn't

925
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 15: stand that pretty much said it all. And that's the

926
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 15: contrast here, and what we're fighting for every day is

927
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 15: to get the economy right for the American people, get

928
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 15: our national security right, get our standing on the world

929
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 15: stage right. Because he ended with the the statement around

930
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 15: Thomas Jefferson on eighteen twenty six passing away on July fourth,

931
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 15: being one long lifetime away from the hundred year old

932
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 15: veterans that were there.

933
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: We are still a young nation and we are part.

934
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 15: Of building this nation, and we have to fight for

935
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 15: what made this country exceptional.

936
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: And that's the battle we're in.

937
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 2: You know, we're gonna hear from Doug Collins here in

938
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 2: just a little bit. He is the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

939
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: We just heard from Kelly Leffler. We heard from so

940
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 2: many impressive people in the Trump administration. His first term

941
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: has delivered such big wins, and it's all been wrapped

942
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 2: in chaos. You know, his first term, it was all

943
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 2: chaotic if you think about it. He was a disruptor

944
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 2: fighting government that did not want to be disrupted. Agencies

945
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 2: were sabotaging him. We've heard this just you know in

946
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 2: the FBI. I just I just read that DHS christin

947
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 2: nom they ended up rousting several people out of her

948
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: agency in the opening days of this administration the second

949
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 2: term of Trump's because people had installed spywear in her emails.

950
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: There are people inside this government that hate this president

951
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 2: and hate this administration. And so he's not only trying

952
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 2: to change the culture of Washington, but he's trying to

953
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 2: do it with a bunch of enemy combatants inside. So

954
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 2: you're talking about a disruptor fighting a government that didn't

955
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 2: want to be disrupted. Now his second term has just

956
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 2: been night and day. They're flushing all this stuff out.

957
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 2: They're focused, they're synchronized, stunningly high functioning. To be honest

958
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: with you, and why better people for starters. You heard

959
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 2: from some of them yesterday, you're hearing from them again today.

960
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 2: These are good people. He learned the hard way Trump did,

961
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 2: and he hired professionals who actually execute. His chief of

962
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 2: staff is the disciplined backbone of this entire thing. He

963
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 2: didn't have that in twenty seventeen. She's the adult in

964
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 2: the room who keeps the entire operation aligned. But it's

965
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 2: the people who are the navigators. They steer this machine.

966
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 2: And the deeper secret is the machine he built around them.

967
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 2: What do I mean by that, Well, look at russ Vote.

968
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: We talked to him yesterday. The Office of Management and Budget,

969
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,479
Speaker 2: that's the central gearbox. Like I said, that's the dark

970
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 2: night of the operation. Forcing every cabinet secretary to align

971
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 2: their budgets, their priorities, and their timelines. No freelancing, no

972
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 2: drift of focus. You have Doze in the system. Now

973
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 2: AI scanning mountains of data, flagging fraud patterns that no

974
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: human could ever catch, pushing real time intelligence straight to

975
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 2: the agencies. The cabinet's the engine, and all these powerful

976
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 2: parts are now synked and calibrated and running off the

977
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 2: same data instead of twenty different decisions. And they're working

978
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 2: together too, most importantly, talking to one another. Now, in

979
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 2: Trump's first term, you had strong parts, but they were

980
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 2: scattered all over the workbench. In the second term, they're

981
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 2: all integrated. They're a machine running at full power together.

982
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 2: Doge alone has just lit up waste in Minneapolis, Los Angeles,

983
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 2: the rural medicaid scams. The Office of Management and Budget

984
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 2: has shifted the resources. Agencies are working together, moving together.

985
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 2: Billions of dollars are on the line. No one in

986
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 2: this Trump administration wants to be viewed as the weak

987
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,959
Speaker 2: link by this chief executive. It's why Trump two point

988
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 2: zero is working better people, better tools, hard earned experience.

989
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 2: It's a system that creates unity. Now the swamp is

990
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 2: very much still there, but for the first time in decades,

991
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 2: the swamp well, they're now dealing with a body of

992
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 2: people that actually function functioned at a high level. It's

993
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 2: a machine finally running in the right direction. I personally

994
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: want to keep it that way. I'm sure you share

995
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 2: my sentiments. Eight five five Stigaull is the telephone number.

996
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 2: Doug Collins on the way Vice President Advance hitting the

997
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 2: trail yesterday. I say trail because he's basically out there

998
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 2: reminding Americans of where we are financially, where we'd be

999
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,240
Speaker 2: if it weren't for Democrats wrecking the economy to start.

1000
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 2: I mean, we're a year in fixing the Biden mass.

1001
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 2: Here's Vance in Wisconsin talking about at number three, number

1002
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: three fifty.

1003
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 16: Hearing the Democrats talk about affordability is like hearing an

1004
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 16: arsonist complain about fire. It's your fault. You guys left

1005
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 16: us a country with sky high inflation.

1006
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 2: You all left us.

1007
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 16: A country where we were going everywhere, but America for energy.

1008
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 16: You left us a United States of America where the

1009
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 16: average family was three thousand dollars poor. So our attitude is,

1010
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 16: you know what, when you talk about affordability, you're exactly right.

1011
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 16: You caused an affordability problem, Congressional Democrats, and we are

1012
00:50:58,320 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 16: here to fix it.

1013
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 2: That's Vice President Vance. This American Sovereignty ad that I

1014
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 2: was talking to you about from the House Republicans came

1015
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 2: out yesterday. Take a listen to this. I love this.

1016
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 2: Republicans Vance the White House. They're on message. Here we

1017
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:19,439
Speaker 2: go number five. If you agree with this statement, then

1018
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 2: stand up and show your support.

1019
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 11: The first duty of the American government is to protect

1020
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 11: American citizens.

1021
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 2: Not illegal aliens. These people are crazy. Republicans are for you,

1022
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 2: is what the AD says. Republicans are for you. I

1023
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 2: like that ad. I hope they keep that up. Now.

1024
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 2: Some of the conversation we had at the White House

1025
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 2: this week. We headed over there, talked with some of

1026
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 2: the President's cabin that Doug Collins is in charge of

1027
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 2: veterans for the President of the United States. Here's some

1028
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 2: of our conversation with him. Terry Collins, it is good

1029
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 2: to be with you. Sir, that it's always good to be

1030
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 2: with you. You miss your broadcast days. You know, we

1031
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 2: here at Salem, we miss you in your show, your

1032
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 2: podcast wildly successful. You missed those shows.

1033
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 4: Occasionally, I do. I mean it it's but.

1034
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 17: Again, I think my job now puts me in touch

1035
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 17: with you know, so many people. It was that was

1036
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 17: what I always enjoyed most about the show. And you

1037
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 17: know doing those kinds of things is interaction with people

1038
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 17: and with the VA I mean, and none of this administration.

1039
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 17: When you just get take care of veterans, that makes

1040
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 17: pretty easy.

1041
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of veterans honored last night at the

1042
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 2: State of the Union. That was cool.

1043
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 4: Is that not?

1044
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 17: I mean using the State of the Union, which you know,

1045
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 17: look it always you know, gets into the different policies

1046
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 17: and we get into the political. But when you can

1047
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 17: just take time to honor America, I mean, think about this.

1048
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 17: Our president stepped forward last night. He said, this is

1049
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 17: a country I love, I love, I love this country.

1050
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 17: And then he showed our hockey team, he showed these

1051
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,720
Speaker 17: veterans who who had performed so well for this country,

1052
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 17: gave out metal honor recipients. You know, this is that's

1053
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 17: those are honors that are just stunning for the country.

1054
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 4: So yeah, it was. It was a celebration of two fifty.

1055
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 2: To me, what I noticed was he mentions DEI is

1056
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 2: dead and immediately pivots to the ultimate meritocracy, sports and

1057
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 2: our heroes on the battlefield.

1058
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.

1059
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 17: Well, I think he goes back to who we are

1060
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 17: as a country. And I think that's what's frustrated so

1061
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 17: many people in our country over time, is they lost

1062
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 17: the ability to say, look, I can do whatever I

1063
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 17: want to in this country. Instead of saying that what

1064
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 17: was being replaced on the previous administration and says, well,

1065
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 17: we're going to make sure you know this. These equal outcomes. No,

1066
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 17: there's not equal outcomes, never has been. It was just

1067
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 17: how you have equal opportunity, and this present believes an

1068
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 17: equal opportunity.

1069
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 2: Talk about veterans for a moment or two. Since you've

1070
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 2: been hearing this last year, what would you say is

1071
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 2: the signature achievement of this administration with veterans?

1072
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 17: This is what the President asked me to do. And

1073
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 17: when I asked him, when he said what do you

1074
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 17: want me to do? I asked him, what do you

1075
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 17: want me to do with the veterans, He said, take

1076
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,879
Speaker 17: care of my veterans. So we put a veteran first

1077
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 17: attitude in and so everything now is filtered through veterans first,

1078
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 17: and that what it sounds strange? You know your VA

1079
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 17: and he said, well, in veterans supposed to be first. Well, no,

1080
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 17: we've become such a bureaucratic organization. We cared more about

1081
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 17: our organization then we did, how does it affect the veteran?

1082
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 17: And if a veteran doesn't get up and come into

1083
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 17: our facilities or call us, we don't have a job.

1084
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 17: So now filtering it through that the President's lends with

1085
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 17: how do we take care of a veteran is put

1086
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 17: us in more of a mode of customer service. We

1087
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 17: take care of our constituents, We take care of our people,

1088
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 17: and we adjust the organization to our folks who are

1089
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 17: coming in.

1090
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 4: That's been the biggest change.

1091
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 2: What do you need veterans to know and understand? If

1092
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 2: they don't, I know, there's always you know, when you're

1093
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 2: talking about individual care and specific hospitals. What do you

1094
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 2: hear often? Is there any confusion that veterans need cleared up?

1095
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 17: I think the one I think they've had to deal

1096
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 17: with bureaucracies a lot in their life, and I think,

1097
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 17: you know, and look, I get it with veterans, but

1098
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:39,439
Speaker 17: we're making it easier wherever.

1099
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 13: Right.

1100
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 17: One of the projects we're working on right now is

1101
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 17: taking the initial claims for disability claims from like eighteen

1102
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 17: pages down to three. I mean, we're moving out a

1103
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 17: lot of this stuff that we don't need to be,

1104
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 17: you know. And I would just say to veterans out there,

1105
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 17: you do not need anybody. You don't need to pay

1106
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 17: definitely anybody to help you get the benefits you've already earned.

1107
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 17: Please do not fall for that trap. Come to the

1108
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 17: We will help you get your paper. We will do

1109
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 17: whatever you need to do. There's organizations vsos, he'll do

1110
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 17: it for free. Do not do not let that get

1111
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 17: in the way of you getting the benefits you've earned.

1112
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 2: And by the way, any veterans at any level of

1113
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 2: service any time served, right, they can find out.

1114
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean that's there's different levels I mean, you

1115
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 17: know service, especially when service related injuries those kind of

1116
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 17: things you know, will take more present than others. But

1117
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 17: there's I mean, and everybody always tends to put it

1118
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 17: into the terms of health care and others, but we

1119
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 17: have you know, you've got benefits out there in education,

1120
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 17: home loans, you know, mental health. There's all kinds of

1121
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 17: different things out there that are available to veterans that

1122
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 17: think you can take advantage of.

1123
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 2: You served in Congress for a time before this current role.

1124
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 2: Watching the events last night, many of the Democrats didn't

1125
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 2: show up at all. Those that did sat on their

1126
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 2: hands a lot. In my view, And I said this

1127
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 2: this morning on my own show, that's your campaign advertisement

1128
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 2: for Republicans in November. To me, when when the President

1129
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 2: says provide for the common defense, everybody stand please, and

1130
00:55:58,920 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 2: they don't.

1131
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 4: There you have it way he does, and I think

1132
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 4: it really is.

1133
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 17: Unfortunately, that's what I was talking about earlier on in

1134
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 17: this saying, and that's why I was glad the President

1135
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 17: did what he did last night. He made it about America,

1136
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 17: and he made it about what he is vision for

1137
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 17: America is we've gotten so political we can't stand up

1138
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 17: for a parent who lost their child to somebody who

1139
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 17: slashed their throat on a train. Are you kidding me?

1140
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 17: You're going to sit on your hands? Is that a

1141
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 17: political statement? That's just again they write themselves there the

1142
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 17: ads right themselves. But America has to understand that there

1143
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 17: is a difference here, that this isn't just a political

1144
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 17: this is an agenda belief that I think the President

1145
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 17: rightfully pointed out last night. When I was in Congress

1146
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 17: right years, I had the good fortune of being under

1147
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 17: four years of President Trump, and I had this plitics

1148
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 17: to serve this country under four years of Barack Obama.

1149
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 2: What my choice.

1150
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 17: Didn't want to go, but when he came in, here's

1151
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 17: I think my military background everything else. When the commander

1152
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 17: in chief walks in the room, you stand down. Okay,

1153
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,919
Speaker 17: you don't have to clap for everything, you can sit there,

1154
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 17: But there's respect that goes along with that, and we've

1155
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 17: sort of lost that discourse and I think, you know,

1156
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 17: all sides can learn from that.

1157
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how closely you work with Secretary of Heigseuth,

1158
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 2: but I am curious about that. Do you have much

1159
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 2: of a relationship with the Department of War with Betteran Services,

1160
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 2: And if so, what's the relationship.

1161
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:13,720
Speaker 4: It's a great relationship.

1162
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 17: Pete and I've known each other for a while and

1163
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 17: it's probably the first time the VA and Department of

1164
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 17: War have actually worked together. I know that sounds sort

1165
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 17: of crazy, but I view us as as fraternal twins.

1166
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 17: He gets them for a certain time in their life,

1167
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 17: and then I get them for the rest of their life,

1168
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 17: and there's a synergy there that needs happened. Transition is

1169
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 17: one of the areas we're really working on. Pete and

1170
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:33,919
Speaker 17: I've really discussed this because it's a really hard time

1171
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 17: for members going out of the active service into or

1172
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 17: reserve service and Guard service into a veteran's kind of role.

1173
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 17: We're working very hard to make that as seamless as posible,

1174
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 17: especially those who have needs coming out of this. So

1175
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 17: as we look at it from that perspective, I think

1176
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 17: that we work very closely together. Pete gets it, you know,

1177
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 17: and we both being served. I'm retiring in May, so

1178
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 17: you know there's a we have a synergy there that work.

1179
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 2: Oh now, I got to ask you this. It didn't

1180
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 2: occur to me. Do you just said you're retiring and

1181
00:57:58,280 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 2: May that means you're still serving? Does that mean that

1182
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 2: fitness standard that he demands of everyone you have to

1183
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:02,919
Speaker 2: meet it too.

1184
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 8: Oh?

1185
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can do that.

1186
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 8: That's not a problem.

1187
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 4: It's almost sixty year old, can still do his What.

1188
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,919
Speaker 2: Of that I haven't talked to you since he came

1189
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 2: forward last year and said, hey, everybody, top to bottom,

1190
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 2: whether you're the decorated guy or just entry level, you

1191
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 2: got to pass that PTE.

1192
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's good. It's a good thing. And I think

1193
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 17: that was the moving ore a force to a war

1194
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 17: fighting force. I used to as a congressman. We used

1195
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 17: to have the privilege of getting people nominated for the

1196
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 17: service academies, and I would always have the when I

1197
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 17: only talked to the group once and then I would

1198
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 17: see them at the end after we had a process.

1199
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 17: It wasn't I know, the congressman and I get a privilege.

1200
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 17: So we had a board and everything, but one I

1201
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 17: remember one of the things I told them parents sitting

1202
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 17: in the room everybody else, I said, look, you may

1203
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 17: want to go to these academies to you know, get

1204
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 17: a learn how to fly. I gat a great degree,

1205
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 17: I said, but let me out of mind tell you

1206
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 17: this that for your time that you owe this country,

1207
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 17: your job is not to get a job later. Your

1208
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 17: job is to fight our nations wars. And if you're

1209
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 17: not willing to put on that uniform fi our nations battles,

1210
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 17: then you really ready to rethink what we're doing.

1211
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 2: That's our part of our conversation with the Secretary of

1212
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 2: Veterans Affairs Doug Collins, another really impressive member of this cabinet.

1213
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 2: Open Line Friday rolls on eight five to five, Stigall,

1214
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 2: we'll take your calls next to North Carolina. It's Paul

1215
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 2: on Open Line Friday. Hi, Paul, glad you called.

1216
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 18: Good morning, Good morning Chris, Thanks for taking my call.

1217
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 18: I think it's my belief and my hope that the

1218
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 18: FBI the DOJ have all the goods they need to

1219
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 18: start arresting people, but they're just waiting for that October

1220
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 18: surprise just before the election to help them win. So

1221
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 18: I think that's what we're going to be seeing, a

1222
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 18: tsunami of indictments, all the crooked politicians, all the Somali corruption,

1223
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 18: all that fraud. That's when it's going to happen.

1224
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 2: You know, Paul, I think you're thinking like a hrum

1225
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 2: for I said as much at the Harump Society a

1226
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago that I think that may well

1227
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 2: be what they're considering is waiting until the fall to

1228
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 2: start delivering on some of the justice that so many

1229
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 2: in the MAGA movement want to see happen. We shall see.

1230

1238

Speaker 8: I miss him terribly man.

Speaker 13: He was a great man.

1255
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 19: Anyway, I want to comment about John soon. Maybe he

1256
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 19: should be the son of major leader of the Cufflink

1257
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 19: and Cologne crowd.

1258
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 13: You know, he's.

1259
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 19: Starting to really share me here, him and his hym

1260
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 19: And and Hahn and all this political rhetorical bs. Get

1261
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 19: the say back done, get it out there and get

1262
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 19: people on record. One thing I want to mention, I

1263
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 19: know your time is limited. A few years ago, when

1264
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 19: they were looking at replacements for Mitch McConnell a sentem

1265
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 19: possible Senate majority leaders, the great Sebastian Gorka had a

1266
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 19: guy on his radio show and they were talking about

1267
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 19: possible replacements, and when Thune's name came up, Sebastian and

1268
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 19: I can't remember the guy he was talking with, they

1269
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 19: didn't exactly.

1270
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 13: Do cartwheels over it.

1271
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 19: The person that they, if I'm not mistaken, that they

1272
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 19: would have loved to have seen in that spot, is

1273
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 19: Rick Scott from Florida.

1274
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 8: For what that's worth.

1275
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, noell, I tell you he would have been fantastic.

1276
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 2: Fun is in a bit of a bind and that

1277
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 2: he and I appreciate the call, Dave. I'm not making

1278
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 2: excuses for him, but he does remember he does have

1279
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 2: three or four senators at least Murkowski, Collins, McConnell. They're

1280
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 2: recalcultrant Republicans. He needs all the votes to get him there.

1281
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 2: Fun is also a guy that thinks legislative victory he's

1282
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 2: passing the farm bill or the housing bill. He's kind

1283
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 2: of old school that way. He thinks, well, if I

1284
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 2: pass other pieces of legislation, that's sort of a victory.

1285
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 2: If I can't get the Save Act because some of

1286
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 2: the Republicans won't help me. Not making excuses for him,

1287
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 2: I'm just explaining to you what he's thinking. He's thinking,

1288
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 2: I may not have the votes on the Save Act.

1289
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 2: It's going to be a fight, the filibuster the whole thing,

1290
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 2: and if I do the filibuster thing, I'm not going

1291
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 2: to be able to pass anything. And isn't passing something

1292
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 2: better than nothing. I'm just explaining how he's thinking, not

1293
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 2: excusing it, just explaining it. It is. It's a tough thing,

1294
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 2: even if you're strictly MAHA to get some of these

1295
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 2: recouncidant Republicans to come along more than a minute. Hey there,

1296
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 2: it's Chris back on the phone with my dentist and friend,

1297
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 2: Bob Spinato at Williamsburg Dental in Brumall, Pennsylvania, just off

1298
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 2: the Blue Route. With new technology, you have not just

1299
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 2: new associates, but they brought new technology into the business

1300
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 2: to make it a little easier for patients.

1301
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's a very exciting time in dentistry. If we

1302
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 20: have now introduced a three dimensional X ray call a

1303
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 20: cbct CAN in our office which allows us to diagnose

1304
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 20: and things earlier for patients. My daughter is placing a

1305
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 20: lot of implants in the past that referred out as

1306
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 20: now being done in house. And we also we've been

1307
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 20: using dental or computer scanners for taking impressions for crowns

1308
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 20: for about the last two to three years. We now

1309
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 20: have introduced the next step, which is a milling machine.

1310
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 20: Anything now make crowns in the office. Things can be

1311
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 20: completed in the same day as opposed to having a

1312
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 20: temporary crown put on in three weeks later coming back

1313
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 20: and having a permit cround put on. I think it's

1314
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 20: really a game changer and it's a time saver for

1315
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 20: our patients have to make multiple visits to the office.

1316
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 2: Pick up the phone or go online make that appointment

1317
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:24,400

1320
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 3: Could the fate of the world of humanity itself be

1321
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 3: somehow tied to this place?

1322
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 4: But long last, we have peace in the Middle East.

1323
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 2: Israel and Christians are coming together in a way they

1324
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 2: have never been before. Is this the end of mus

1325
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 2: and radical Islam?

1326
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:53,680

Speaker 2: going to clarify that in just a minute. But I

1347
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 2: wanted to just point out, as I was reading here

1348
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 2: in USA today, it's an I mean, I'm kind of

1349
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:06,919
Speaker 2: stunned again that it's in USA today. It's an open

1350
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 2: editorial written by I guess one of the readers headline,

1351
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 2: I'm a Democrat and Trump's State of the Union made

1352
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 2: me like him more. I watched President Trump's entire twenty

1353
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 2: twenty sixth State of the Union speech, and I loved it.

1354
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 2: Watching it made me more likely to vote in the

1355
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 2: midterm elections. This was the first time I wasn't bored,

1356
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 2: and it goes on government needs to represent the people,

1357
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 2: not politicians self interest in agenda. I'm actually a registered Democrat,

1358
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 2: she says, and I was ashamed of how Congressional Democrats

1359
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 2: were acting at the State of the Union, not giving

1360
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 2: Trump the common courtesy and respect the office of the

1361
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 2: presidency deserves. I will certainly reflect on this with my

1362
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 2: vote in the midterms, and I will not vote for

1363
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 2: Democrats currently in office. Michigan Governor the Wicked Snow Queen

1364
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:02,240

Speaker 2: Harryenta number ninety seven talking about democrats trouble on the

1377
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 2: issue of immigration.

1378
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 12: In twenty eighteen, Democrats had an edge of about six points.

1379
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:42,439
Speaker 12: You come over to this side of the screen. Now

1380
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 12: look at that Republicans are the ones who have actually

1381
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 12: have an edge on immigration. So this whole idea that

1382
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 12: Democrats are going to be able to take advantage of

1383
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 12: the immigration group of the immigration issue actually doesn't bear

1384
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 12: itself out in the polling. That's right, everything that's been

1385
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 12: going on. In fact, Democrats are worst position than they

1386
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 12: were during Donald Trump's first term.

1387
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 2: Look at these numbers.

1388
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 12: Hello, party trusted more on border security again at this

1389
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 12: point Trump's terms. Look at this in twenty eighteen, Republicans

1390
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 12: at a thirteen point advantage. If anything, the advantage is

1391
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 12: a little bit larger now, Republicans up by fifteen points.

1392
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 2: So when you put it all together, you put immigration with.

1393
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 12: Border security and the idea that Democrats will be able

1394
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 12: to take the ball and run away on it, the

1395
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 12: polling data suggests no, no, no, this is actually an

1396
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 12: issue that Republicans should be more comfortable running on than Democrats.

1397
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 12: Democrats run an immigration may actually be to the Republican's advantage.

1398
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 2: So listen, I understand uphill battle, historical trends and all

1399
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 2: of that. Not Pollyanna, not rose colored glasses. Don't want

1400
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 2: to paint a fiction that isn't real. But the idea

1401
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 2: that it's all gloom and doom and Democrats are poised

1402
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 2: to just sweep. I still don't buy that. What about California,

1403
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 2: We always talk about it. Democrats are always chasing Texas,

1404
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 2: Republicans are always wondering is they're ever a shot in

1405
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,679
Speaker 2: California Again. A guy who knows very well is John

1406
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 2: fleich Shman. He'll be here to diagnose it for us.

1407
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 2: He is the former executive director and vice chair of

1408
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 2: the California GOP, former editor of Breitbart California. He now

1409
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 2: writes so does it Matter on substack, and he's been

1410
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 2: watching closely the primary races in California. John, it's good

1411
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 2: to have you here. Good morning, Chris.

1412
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 20: Thank you.

1413
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 21: At least it's the morning there here. It's a good

1414
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 21: middle of the night here in California.

1415
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty early, painful, painful. I don't know how

1416
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 2: you guys do it. I'm grateful you wake up at

1417
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 2: this hour for us, though, sincerely, Jenhorn kicks off at

1418
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 2: six o'clock. We're all the taxes, we're warm up acting.

1419
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:38,640
Speaker 2: So that's my question, my broad question is you've been

1420
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,600
Speaker 2: a guy that's spoken on behalf of the GOP in

1421
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 2: California a long time, and we understand that's a difficult role.

1422
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 2: Is there any glimmer of hope or is it still

1423
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 2: the great white whale Republicans will chase out there?

1424
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 21: Well, I mean, the reality is there's two and a

1425
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 21: half million. You know, you talked about Texas and we

1426
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 21: talk about Florida. Those are states that have a lot

1427
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 21: more Republicans than Democrats, and here in California, we've got

1428
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 21: two and a half million more Democrats than Republicans, even

1429
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 21: though we have over five million Republicans landlocked. You'd say

1430
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 21: in California, there's more Republicans in California than in any

1431
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 21: other state in the Union. But it's it's an uphill battle.

1432
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 21: Although this year we've got a you know, we have

1433
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 21: a lot of direct democracy in California and so we've

1434
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 21: got a voter ID initiative that's now qualified. They're about

1435
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 21: to turn in signatures for the November ballot, which is

1436
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 21: going to be a big issue for us here because

1437
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 21: it's a seventy five percent issue and Gavin Newsoman company

1438
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 21: are all on the wrong side of that issue. But

1439
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:36,759
Speaker 21: in terms of our you know, we have a governor's

1440
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 21: race coming up. Our gift to America seems to be

1441
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 21: Gavin Newsom. But the only good news for us is

1442
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 21: that he's leaving the governorship of California so that he

1443
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 21: can bring you homelessness crisis, high speed rail to nowhere,

1444
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,799
Speaker 21: you know, illegal alien healthcare, and all the other wonderful

1445
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 21: things he does out here. But trying to elect a

1446
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 21: Republican governor is tough. I think maybe one of the

1447
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 21: reasons we're on the show is because, you know, here

1448
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 21: in California, we have what's called a top two system.

1449
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 21: That's where the top two vote get is in our

1450
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 21: June election advanced to the November election and irrespective of

1451
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 21: political party. And we've got a situation where Gavin Newsom

1452
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 21: has not, you know, kind of tapped a successor. And

1453
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,679
Speaker 21: so there are nine Democrats all running, none of whom

1454
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 21: are really, you know, ahead of the pack in a

1455
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 21: substantial way, and only two Republicans Steve Hilton, former Fox

1456
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 21: News host, and we have Chad Bianco, who's the Riverside

1457
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 21: County sheriff in southern California. And the two of them

1458
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 21: are currently more or less splitting the Republican vote. Well,

1459
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 21: two people splitting the forty percent of the vote that's Republican,

1460
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:48,839
Speaker 21: and you've got nine Democrats splitting the you know, fifty

1461
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 21: plus percent that are Democrat. And suddenly you start to say,

1462
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 21: is there a way for two Republicans to possibly grab

1463
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 21: the top two spots in which case the Democrats will

1464
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 21: be shut out? In no, And so that's the question

1465
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 21: that a lot of soul.

1466
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 2: Let me just understand this, And again we're with John Fleischman,

1467
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 2: So does it matter is his work at substack. You're

1468
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 2: saying that potentially there is math that could get us

1469
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:15,600
Speaker 2: to a place where the Democrats are so split in

1470
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,639
Speaker 2: a nine way primary race that the top two vote

1471
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,719
Speaker 2: getters in California could both be Republicans in Steve Hilton

1472
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 2: and Chad Bianco. Did I hear that correctly? It is possible.

1473
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 21: Now that having been said, I'm not sure that it

1474
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 21: is likely. We have this phenomena here in California called

1475
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 21: the California Public Employee Unions. Our state Teachers Association is

1476
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 21: massive and literally spends over one hundred million dollars every

1477
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 21: election cycle to make sure that they own the legislature.

1478
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 21: So that they can block opportunity scholarship grants from the

1479
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 21: one big beautiful Bill and all the other things that

1480
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 21: they like to do. And the SEIU out here, the

1481
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 21: Service Employees International Union, has a lot of money.

1482
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 2: They will spend a lot of money.

1483
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 21: And it reminds us of what happened in twenty twenty

1484
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,720
Speaker 21: four where it looked like for a moment Republicans were

1485
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 21: going to get shut out of the US Senate race

1486
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 21: in California. Adam Schiff, our lefty senator, was running in

1487
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 21: Katie Porter, who at the time was a very far

1488
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 21: left member of Congress, were locked in a battle and

1489
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:16,719
Speaker 21: it looked like they were one and two for US

1490
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 21: Senate and Republicans would be blocked out. And then Shiff

1491
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:24,759
Speaker 21: ran millions of dollars of ads himself versus Republican Steve Garvey,

1492
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 21: who used to play first base for your World champion

1493
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 21: Los Angeles Dodgers and Steve Garvey. He boosted up Garvey

1494
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 21: so high that Garvey ended up actually being the top

1495
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 21: vote getter, and then, of course for the November showdown,

1496
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 21: Shift consolidated all of Porter's support behind him.

1497
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,520
Speaker 2: So it remains to be seeing what games.

1498
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 21: Will be played but there have been several polls that

1499
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 21: have come out, big, reputable, nonpartisan polls in the last

1500
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 21: few weeks that do show right now, Hilton and Bianco

1501
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 21: in one and two, it's.

1502
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 2: Just going to be with them. At the end of

1503
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,799
Speaker 2: the month. In March, we're headed out to Jen Horn's

1504
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 2: big event called the United i e Rally in March

1505
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,560
Speaker 2: twenty eighth. They're both going to be there.

1506
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 21: They are you going to be here long enough that

1507
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 21: they're going to be able to tax part of your income?

1508
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, it's a quick trip. It's forty eight hour stop.

1509
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 21: There's a whole article in the newspaper talking about how

1510
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 21: players they came out for the Super Bowl that are

1511
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 21: getting bonuses for playing in the Super Bowl have to

1512
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 21: pike California income taxes on their Super Bowl bonus. So

1513
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:28,600
Speaker 21: two hours, you know, I hope you don't get a

1514
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:29,760
Speaker 21: big payday while you're here.

1515
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 2: So I've got about thirty seconds, not a lot of time.

1516
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:36,679
Speaker 2: But Steve Hilton Chad Bianco, give me a handicap them.

1517
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 2: Who do you think prevails there? And is there a shot?

1518
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 2: I mean, will we see Republican leadership ever again in California?

1519
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 21: Well, you know what, It's hard to say which one

1520
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 21: of those is going to come out in the league,

1521
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 21: but I would tell you this if if there's an

1522
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 21: Adam shift strategy and they're going to elevate one of

1523
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 21: the Republicans, your money's on Steve Hilton, because the play

1524
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 21: in California is to try to run against Donald Trump,

1525
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:01,719
Speaker 21: and of course Hilton, being a former Fox News host,

1526
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:03,600
Speaker 21: has been in the White House. Trump has had a

1527
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 21: lot of great things to say about Steve Hilton, So

1528
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 21: it'll just be interesting to see whether or not they

1529
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 21: push an endorsement, you know, Donald Trump on Hilton and

1530
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 21: elevate him. You know, check back in it's crazy California.

1531
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 21: Anything could happen. And Chris, thanks for everything you're doing

1532

1535
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 2: Catch him on substack. He is John Fleischmann and it's

01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 2: to shake your hand and say hi. Looking at the

1544
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:58,719
Speaker 2: coast Cony Island to be specific, beautiful looking sunrise. Still

1545
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 2: some snow there. It's weird to see snow packed underneath

1546
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 2: the roller coasters and the rides at Coney Island. But

1547
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,679
Speaker 2: it is that time of year. Not time to open

1548
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 2: the boards quite yet. Speaking of welcome in our telephone

1549
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 2: number eighty five to five, Stigall if you want to

1550
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 2: get in here on open line Friday, Let's go to

1551
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 2: New Jersey, very specifically the southern tip of New Jersey.

1552
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 2: Lisa is there talking Cape May, New Jersey. Good morning, Lisa,

1553
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 2: Good morning. How are you.

1554
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 22: I am well, how are you?

1555
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 2: I'm great? Thanks? What's on your mind today?

1556
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 22: What's on my mind is that, living in Cape May,

1557
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 22: the whole government shutdown issue has kind of fallen by

1558
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:44,520
Speaker 22: the wayside. I don't hear people talking about it anymore anywhere,

1559
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 22: and I just feel like it's a forgotten issue. But

1560
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 22: I live in Kate May, and I see what it's

1561
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 22: doing to the area, what it's doing to the people,

1562
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 22: even just like outside of the area, and I'm just

1563
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 22: very frustrated that it's not more out in the forefront.

1564
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 2: Cape May Coast Guard headquarters. If people don't know it,

1565
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 2: it's a beautiful community. Go visit it. It's worth your trip.

1566
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:09,479
Speaker 2: If you don't, that's that's the coast of New Jersey

1567
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 2: does not get its due. Maybe you guys like the secret,

1568
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 2: but the southern tip, the southernmost tip in New Jersey

1569
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 2: is Cape May, and it's beautiful. But talk about it.

1570
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 2: What do you mean, how's it affecting people there?

1571
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 22: I just see what it's doing to the businesses. I

1572
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 22: see what it's doing to the families financially. I have

1573
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 22: so many friends that are in the Coast Guard. They're

1574
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:31,879
Speaker 22: not getting paid. They're struggling. I mean they were already struggling,

1575
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,600
Speaker 22: but now they're struggling even more with you know, just

1576
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 22: everyday thing. I work for a printing company, and I

1577
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:42,639
Speaker 22: see how it's affecting our advertisers, our businesses that are

1578
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:46,639
Speaker 22: they're afraid to spend money, and it's I just don't

1579
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 22: hear anyone talking about it anymore.

1580
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 2: Do they? Broadly speaking politically how is it discussed? If

1581
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 2: it is at all? Maybe maybe there is just frustration

1582
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 2: and nobody's really pinning it on anybody. Is there is

1583
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 2: there blame placed when you hear it discussed? If at all?

1584
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:08,560
Speaker 22: No, not, nobody's discussing it, which is why I'm so frustrated.

1585
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 22: I guess maybe on the local level, they figure there's

1586
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 22: nothing that they can do about it. But we have

1587
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 22: community food banks, we have so many organizations and that

1588
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 22: are stepping up to help these families, but there's no

1589
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 22: one talking about it. And I don't understand why.

1590
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 2: How many weeks are we into it now? Exactly? Three?

1591
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:33,720
Speaker 22: I think, yeah, I think three and last week the.

1592
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 14: Sorry last week.

1593
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. But in terms of people that aren't getting paid,

1594
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 2: people they are in the community who you say you're suffering?

1595
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,360
Speaker 2: Are they Are they discussed? Are you hearing anybody discuss

1596
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 2: who's responsible for this shutdown?

1597
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:51,840
Speaker 22: They just the only thing they talk about is that

1598
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 22: they can't agree on They can't agree to disagree with

1599
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 22: the Republicans and Democrats, and they just don't know what

1600
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 22: to do. Everyone kind of feels hopeless at this point

1601
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:09,599
Speaker 22: because it's everybody fighting about everything and nothing getting done.

1602
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 2: Are they as I understand it. Correct me if I'm wrong,

1603
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 2: and I know it's a little comfort at the moment.

1604
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 2: They will receive back pay that they're missing. They're not

1605
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:22,720
Speaker 2: going to be shut out entirely of the paychecks that

1606
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 2: they're not getting right now, is my understanding. Is that

1607
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:25,759
Speaker 2: true at least?

1608
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 22: Yes, yes, it is true.

1609
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. So are you. You're not one of

1610
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 2: these people, but you say you run a business that

1611
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:34,200
Speaker 2: many of these people use.

1612
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 22: Yes, I mean I work for a business that many

1613
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 22: of our even just our regular customers that aren't even

1614
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:44,599
Speaker 22: in the coast guards, just businesses down in general because

1615
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 22: of the shutdowns. And this is that happened last time.

1616
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 22: We saw it at my work, and I finally said

1617
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 22: it this time, I said, do you realize it's related

1618
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 22: to the shutdown? And now that everybody's thinking about it,

1619
01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:57,799
Speaker 22: they're like, oh my goodness, it is.

1620
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 2: At LISTA. Thank you for the reminder. I appreciate it

1621
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 2: very much, sincerely. It is not necessarily at the forefront

1622
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,799
Speaker 2: of all our minds, I know, because of the politics

1623
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 2: of the day. But you know, here again, I mean,

1624
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 2: we're fighting over issues like citizenship and you know, voting.

1625
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 2: These are not things that should be obstructed to fund

1626
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 2: these things. But it's where we are. Thank you for

1627
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 2: the reminder. Oh boy, now you see well, now you

Speaker 2: I was at the National Religious Broadcasters there in Nashville,

1644
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 2: and he was there. We didn't get a chance to

1645
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:11,360

Speaker 2: I'm I'm humbled to hear that. Can I can I

1660
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 2: geek out for a minute here? I know our audio

1661
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:02,679
Speaker 2: cowboy Bob a minute ago mention this to you. As

1662
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 2: a kid, I was a late night television geek, a

1663
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:09,600
Speaker 2: late night variety show geek, and I was hugely in

1664
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 2: The Letterman and that book The Late Shift that was

1665
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 2: written about the Letterman Leno War for Late Night. I

1666
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 2: was fascinated as a younger man about it and then

1667
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 2: out came a film called The Late Shift made about

1668
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 2: that story, and you played Jay Leno. And when I

1669
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 2: heard you were booked on the show, I went right

1670
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 2: back to being that kid who was just as geeked

1671
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 2: at as I could be. I loved your work in

1672
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 2: that project.

1673
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 8: Oh, that's so amazing to hear. What a blessing that

1674
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 8: was in my career. Honestly, it's so funny. Here's a

1675
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 8: great story. You'll love this. So my daughter became a

1676
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 8: huge Leno fan. My daughter writes and directions with me sometimes,

1677
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 8: and she became a huge Leno fan. And we went

1678
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 8: to see Jay the final week of the Tonight Show,

1679
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:04,200
Speaker 8: and because he's always been very, very kind to me,

1680
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 8: he liked what I did. I mean, I think he

1681
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 8: liked it a lot. And he goes, hey, Dan, how

1682
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 8: long ago was that movie? And I said, Jake, my guys,

1683
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 8: you never have an opportunity to do this. I pulled

1684
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:22,600
Speaker 8: my daughter closely and said it's her go. Because she

1685
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 8: was born the day after we finished.

1686
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 2: Shooting No Way, So wow. The day and the day.

1687
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 8: After they had a suitcase the makeup artist because I

1688
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 8: had three and a half hours of makeup, which takes

1689
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 8: about an hour and a half to take off, and

1690
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 8: so they had a kit ready to go to the

1691
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:46,919
Speaker 8: hospital in case my wife went in a labor during filming,

1692
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 8: although oh my gosh, I'm sure they were.

1693
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 2: So that is a fascinating story. You tell me that

1694
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 2: Leno liked it, because famously from that if you didn't

1695
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 2: see it again, it's called The Late Shift. I recommended

1696
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 2: the folks. It's really entertaining. And again it's all about

1697
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 2: Letterman Leno wanting the Tonight Show.

1698
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,520
Speaker 8: And it's on HBO.

1699
01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but Leno liked it. Letterman famously hated the

1700
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 2: portrayal and didn't really like the storyline. But you say

1701
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,439
Speaker 2: Leno liked it and liked your impression of him in

1702
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 2: the film.

1703
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:15,760
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1704
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 2: One.

1705
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 8: And I'll go one step further. And it's interesting, Chris,

1706
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,799
Speaker 8: you said you were a Letterman fan. Look, I played

1707
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 8: the nice guy. David Letterman should have gotten up every

1708
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:30,240
Speaker 8: morning and kissed the robe of John Michael Higgins, who's

1709
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 8: a terrific actor and playing him so well, and John

1710
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:39,639
Speaker 8: Michael Higgins, who's had a very illustrious career. Hopefully, hopefully

1711
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,840
Speaker 8: I have too. But what I'm saying is I have

1712
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 8: the nice guy, the nice guy was. I called him literally,

1713
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 8: I know we're the most sorry about they all, Mary,

1714
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 8: but if it's okay, I'll tell you please. I never

1715
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:52,680
Speaker 8: bothered it. You never want to bother these people. I

1716
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 8: played Gary Marshall in a movie. I didn't call Gary

1717
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 8: Marshall until we were over. I did the same thing.

1718
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 8: But the day I finished shooting, I was home at

1719
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 8: about two o'clock in the afternoon and I called it

1720
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:09,559
Speaker 8: Universal called NBC, got the Tonight Show, said Hi, it's

1721
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 8: Daniel Robot for Jay Leno. They put me right to

1722
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 8: his assistant, Elga. How it goes? Dan? How did it go?

1723
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 8: And I said it went great? And I never like,

1724
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 8: I never called there ever. I never had any contact

1725
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 8: with him. He got right on the phone and he said,

1726
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 8: he said, I've been rooting for you. I hope it

1727
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,879
Speaker 8: went great because he knew Betty Thomas. They were friends,

1728
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 8: and and he was like, now, how did you do

1729
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 8: the scene where I was listening? And I told him,

1730
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:40,559
Speaker 8: you know how we shot it, and he goes, okay,

1731
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 8: that's that's good. I think he was concerned because he

1732
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:46,640
Speaker 8: may have picked up the phone, which may be illegal,

1733
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 8: but we shot it that he went over hearing convers.

1734
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 2: For people that don't know the backstory on that. Leno

1735
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,400
Speaker 2: famously hit out in the closet and listened in to

1736
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 2: NBC executives trying to make a decision about who was

1737
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 2: going to be hired for the tonight show, and he

1738
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,640
Speaker 2: verifies that's true, and you actually act that whole scene out.

1739
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:06,559
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was wondering if he was going to be fired,

1740
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 8: and all the insight information, But wouldn't you. I mean,

1741
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 8: who among us, if we have a shit weighing in

1742
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 8: on being fired, who among us wouldn't do it.

1743
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:23,439
Speaker 2: Daniel Roebuck has a new project and I want to

1744
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 2: make sure we mentioned it, called The Hail Mary, and

1745
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:27,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna talk about it as soon as I ask

1746
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 2: you about one more thing, and that is your work.

1747
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 2: I could talk to about a lot of different things.

1748
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 2: You've been in The Fugitive, You've been in tons of

1749
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:37,720
Speaker 2: movies and television shows. Look, I can have you back

1750
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 2: every weekday. You're going to regret that you said that.

1751
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 2: But here's my next question. Andy Griffith, you worked with

1752
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 2: one of the legends of television for a few years

1753
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 2: in Matt Locke, and given that, I know you're a

1754
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 2: faithful man. Here's my suspicion. Although I don't know how

1755
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:55,600
Speaker 2: much he talked about it, I would. I just have

1756
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 2: a sense of it that Andy Griffith was a deep

1757
01:26:57,479 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 2: abiting Christian as well. You can confirm or deny that.

1758
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:04,200
Speaker 8: I'll tell you this, Andy Griffith. It's so unique how

1759
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 8: God put he and I together. Andy Griffith was a Moravian.

1760
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:14,680
Speaker 8: There's Moravians in two places, really, North Carolina and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

1761
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 8: There's something in between. So I was from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

1762
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 8: He was from North Carolina and he became a Moravian

1763
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 8: because he wanted to be He wanted to learn how

1764
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 8: to play the tuba, I think. And so it was

1765
01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 8: at the Moravian church in Mound area, North Carolina where

1766
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 8: he was given those lessons and he converted to this.

1767
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:41,120
Speaker 8: And if you don't know what the Moravians are, it's

1768
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 8: it's a Protestant sect you know from you know when

1769
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 8: Bethlehem was founded, they were founded by these Germans who

1770
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:58,599
Speaker 8: were Moravians. And so imagine that of all the people

1771
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 8: in the world come into Andy Griffiths world, there was

1772
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 8: I and I had just done no time for sergeants

1773
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 8: the play that made him famous. When I auditioned and

1774
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 8: got in my first matlock where I was bred herrings.

1775
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:15,639
Speaker 8: And then day after we met and we talked about

1776
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 8: the you know, talked. We didn't talk about the Moravian thing.

1777
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 8: I would have even thrown a pin at that and

1778
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 8: knew we had that in comment. But we talked about

1779
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,320
Speaker 8: no time for sergeants, and he, the director of the show,

1780
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 8: came up the next day and said, you know, the

1781
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 8: old man wants to make you a series break. And

1782
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:36,800
Speaker 8: it took a few years, but he when Andy became

1783
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 8: the executive producer and we moved the show to North Carolina,

1784
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:43,600
Speaker 8: he said, get me Daniel Roebuck, and that's how I

1785
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 8: ended up on the show three years.

1786
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 2: How amazing, I can't imagine. I mean, he's he's Hollywood

1787
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:53,800
Speaker 2: Royalty's TV Royalty. I'm sure that washed over you.

1788
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 8: Often I would come home from working and I turned

1789
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 8: on the Andy Griffith Show, which runs twenty four hours

1790
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 8: a day in North Carolina, as you can imagine, and

1791
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:09,599
Speaker 8: my former wife would say, how how do you work

1792
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 8: with him twelve hours a day? And that watched these

1793
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:14,280
Speaker 8: shows and I was like, I just can't get enough.

1794
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:18,720
Speaker 8: So it's one thing. It's like, you know, it's kind

1795
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 8: of like you know, I mean, there's been a lot

1796
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 8: of presidents, but there's been no no one like There's

1797
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 8: been no one like Donald Trump. You know he is

1798
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 8: he is will remember him as an iconic. I don't

1799
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 8: care if you love him or hate him. He is

1800
01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 8: going to be one of the iconic United States presidents

1801
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 8: for a long time. And that's what Andy Griffith was.

1802
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:44,040
Speaker 8: He wasn't just a guy on TV. He was a

1803
01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 8: guy who defined what fatherhood and family relationships would be like.

1804
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:53,760
Speaker 8: And that's what we all wanted as a father. For me,

1805
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,719
Speaker 8: I didn't have that. I had Herman Munster was my father,

1806
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 8: an adult that was my dad, or is my dad.

1807
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:06,559
Speaker 8: He's very much alive. But you know, we all wanted

1808
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:08,799
Speaker 8: Andy Griffith, but we got Herman Munster.

1809
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:12,759
Speaker 2: Daniel Roebuck. Is it a brand new film out today

1810
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, called The Hail Mary. And

1811
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 2: I'll ask you one last thing about Andy. If I

1812
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 2: can impose on your time, can I hold you over

1813
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:20,640
Speaker 2: for a second segment? Do you have time or no?

1814
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:20,960
Speaker 14: Yes?

1815
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:23,600
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, yes please Okay.

1816
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to devote the next segment to the Hail

1817
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:28,760
Speaker 2: Mary entirely. Let me ask you then about Andy and

1818
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:32,599
Speaker 2: just kind of the stillness and the gentility of him.

1819
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:35,720
Speaker 2: He just represents an era that I think, you know,

1820
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:37,600
Speaker 2: the reason a show like that continues to run in

1821
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:39,720
Speaker 2: perpetuity is I think there is a hunger for the

1822
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:43,840
Speaker 2: decency of a man like that. And was that real?

1823
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:45,720
Speaker 2: Was that? Sincere? Did he embody that?

1824
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:52,400
Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you. I do a commercial for Mayberry

1825
01:30:52,479 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 8: Days in Maybury, North Carolina, where I'm a guest often,

1826
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:58,640
Speaker 8: and I did so much down there. I went and

1827
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:02,639
Speaker 8: played Scrooge to years of them in Christmas Carol at

1828
01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:05,800
Speaker 8: the Andy Griffith Theater. That's much I like Mount Airy,

1829
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 8: North Carolina and the good people there at Surrey Yards.

1830
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:12,559
Speaker 8: This is what is important to know about Andy. He

1831
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 8: wasn't Lonesome Roads. Remember the wonderful character he played in

1832
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:22,080
Speaker 8: in Uh, I'm having a senior moment in the movie

1833
01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:25,320
Speaker 8: that came out before No Time for starts Lonesome Roads,

1834
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:29,880
Speaker 8: and we'll we'll remember it. He wasn't Andy of Mayberry.

1835
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,479
Speaker 8: He was he was. I think the credit he doesn't

1836
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:37,160
Speaker 8: get is he was a spectacular actor. A face in

1837
01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:38,719
Speaker 8: the crowd was the name of the movie. I couldn't

1838
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:44,240
Speaker 8: remember he so so he was he was more complicated

1839
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:48,360
Speaker 8: than Andy of Mayberry. And and because he was such

1840
01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:53,599
Speaker 8: a great natural actor, a completely untrained actor, by the way,

1841
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:59,639
Speaker 8: natural gifted actor. Sometimes maybe he didn't think he got

1842
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:03,559
Speaker 8: enough Fred because he was acting, you know. And Uh.

1843
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:08,160
Speaker 8: And the other thing he did, which is speaks to

1844
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 8: his character Chris, And this is important. He surrounded himself.

1845
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:20,639
Speaker 8: When you think of uh, obviously, when you think Don Knots,

1846
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:24,759
Speaker 8: Jack dottson, Uh, you think of you think of the characters.

1847
01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 8: He surrounded himself with people who he knew were sillier

1848
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 8: and funnier than him. Because when he realized he was

1849
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 8: the straight man, it changed everything. And being a straight man,

1850
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:40,680
Speaker 8: you know, there's such.

1851
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 2: There there is well, it's it's that same attitude of

1852
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 2: Johnny Carson famously, you know, some of the most talented

1853
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:51,000
Speaker 2: people understand that you surround yourself with talented people, it

1854
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,920
Speaker 2: helps you to shine. Daniel Robot, you are awesome to

Speaker 2: to me about this new film. I know it's deeply

1869
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:34,599
Speaker 2: important to you on a personal level.

1870
01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:38,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you so much, Chris. The Hail Mary's it's

1871
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:43,800
Speaker 8: about a nun, a religious sister who literally becomes face

1872
01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 8: to face with a man who is so higher need

1873
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 8: of redemption that she decides she's going to come him

1874
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:53,679
Speaker 8: into creating a football team for her all boys Catholic

1875
01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:58,560
Speaker 8: school to lean forward it. It is a buddy comedy.

1876
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:05,160
Speaker 8: It's I say. I was raised by religious sisters, the

1877
01:34:05,240 --> 01:34:08,639
Speaker 8: Sisters of Saint Joseph of Philadelphia. I have two great parents,

1878
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:13,800
Speaker 8: so they weren't I wasn't an orphan, but they had

1879
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 8: such an impact on me. These sisters not just on

1880
01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 8: not just on my moral center and my ethical center,

1881
01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:27,800
Speaker 8: but they they kind of, I don't want to say

1882
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:33,240
Speaker 8: they molly coddled my art. But you know, when I

1883
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:35,839
Speaker 8: was in first grade, I'm going to tell this story quickly,

1884
01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:38,920
Speaker 8: true story. I got an idea that I was going

1885
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:41,080
Speaker 8: to write a play in first grade. And this was

1886
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:44,240
Speaker 8: in nineteen sixty nine, Chris, which is what they taught

1887
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 8: you how to read and write in first grade, not

1888
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:50,879
Speaker 8: before first grade. That was sister Kathleen's job. So imagine

1889
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 8: her surprise. Right, came in one morning and I said,

1890
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 8: I wrote a play. You know, you knew I was

1891
01:34:56,560 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 8: an imbecile. I couldn't even write my own name. So

1892
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:04,479
Speaker 8: instead of saying, like any other teacher would have said,

1893
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:07,640
Speaker 8: you can't even Dan, I don't know that you know

1894
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 8: your left hand from your right hand, at this point,

1895
01:35:10,479 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 8: she said, you wrote a play. Let's do your play.

1896
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 8: And what my play was was a series of drawings

1897
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:21,160
Speaker 8: of scenes like that's what my idea of writing a

1898
01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 8: play was. So it seems silly when I talk about it,

1899
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:28,599
Speaker 8: but it wasn't silly at all. In first grade, Sister

1900
01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:31,839
Speaker 8: Kathleen turned me from a guy who had an idea

1901
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:36,400
Speaker 8: to a creative force, and we did how rehearse the

1902
01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:40,479
Speaker 8: play that we performed the entire day up and down

1903
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:45,080
Speaker 8: the school. And and so the main character of my

1904
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 8: movie is Sister Kathleen because Sister Kathleen was monumental figure

1905
01:35:51,280 --> 01:35:58,799
Speaker 8: in who I am today, and so I wanted to say, yeah.

1906
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:01,600
Speaker 2: What a beautiful story. A channel of peace. Again, I

1907
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:03,240
Speaker 2: want to stress this. If you want to see the

1908
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:06,080
Speaker 2: Hail Mary, the best place to find where you can

1909
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 2: go watch it is at a channel offpeace dot org.

1910
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:13,479
Speaker 2: That's the website, a channel of peace dot org. And

1911
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:15,760
Speaker 2: just with my closing a few seconds here, Danielle, I'll

1912
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:18,080
Speaker 2: ask you, in terms of writing acting, you've got a

1913
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:21,639
Speaker 2: body of work now that spans decades. Is this now

1914
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 2: where you are writing faith based stuff that's true to

1915
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 2: your own life? Is this the most fulfilling?

1916
01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:30,120
Speaker 8: It's certainly the most fulfilling. And I do it for

1917
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:33,080
Speaker 8: free because we do it through that not for profit.

1918
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,759
Speaker 8: Not for profit made this movie so that we should

1919
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:42,920
Speaker 8: bring the idea that no one, no one can escape

1920
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:47,600
Speaker 8: God's love, even if you think you're unworthy. So I

1921
01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 8: think all my success up to this point, Chris, was

1922
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:53,760
Speaker 8: to bring me to this. But I hope I have

1923
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:56,200
Speaker 8: a lot more success in Hollywood so I can afford

1924
01:36:56,200 --> 01:37:02,440
Speaker 8: to do this for the good piece people. But so yeah,

1925
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:04,799
Speaker 8: I mean, I love being here and I love telling

1926
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:07,679
Speaker 8: these stories. And the next one's a veteran story. It's

1927
01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:11,040
Speaker 8: called Men of Granted and we're gonna shoot that this summer.

1928
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:13,679
Speaker 8: So we're going to stay on the same, the same

1929
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:18,160
Speaker 8: path of good, faithful family entertainment. That's a comedy, by

1930
01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:21,200
Speaker 8: the way, this movie, I can't stressit enough, Chris, It's a.

1931
01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:26,840
Speaker 2: Comedy, Daniel Roebuck. The Hail Mary. It's called The Hail Mary.
