19
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 5: It's Washington, d C.

20
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 4: Based shows this week, and as such we have some

21
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 4: really special content coming your way over the next couple

22
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 4: of days. Stuff I'm working on at present, And the

23
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 4: reason that I couldn't be with you today doing a

24
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 4: full show is because we're on Capitol Hill pre State

25
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 4: of the Union and then on super secret assignment after

26
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 4: the State of the Union. I'll tell you more about

27
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 4: that a little later in the week, but today's show

28
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 4: very specifically is pre State of the Union, although it's

29
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 4: now happened. We talked to some members on Capitol Hill

30
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 4: about what they were hopeful the President would talk about,

31
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 4: as well as what they're focused on as we head

32
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 4: to November of this election cycle, and do they think

33
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 4: do these Republicans think they've got what it takes and

34
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 4: the messaging and the agenda that it takes to turn

35
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: this ship around. If you believe the Republicans are on

36
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: their back heels and the Democrats are about to sweep them,

37
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 4: does this group of Republicans we're going to hear from

38
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: today think they've got the stuff to change their fortes

39
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 4: around and keep control of the House representatives. That was

40
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 4: the bulk of the conversation today. I hope you enjoy them,

41
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 4: and again tomorrow some more very specific special conversations on

42
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 4: the post State of the Union review from some folks.

43
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 4: I'll just leave it at this whose names you'll know,

44
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 4: all right, And we're doing a couple of shows from

45
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: DC the interim this week too, So thanks for your

46
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 4: flexibility with the travel. As Rush used to say, it

47
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 4: doesn't really matter where I am, where here is as

48
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: long as you're there and I'm here.

49
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 5: I always loved that.

50
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: I also love John Roulman at US medical Plan dot

51
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: com for taking great care of everyone in this audience,

52
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 4: including my own family. That's the truth, my own parents,

53
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 4: personal friends of mine, colleagues of mine. I have sent

54
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 4: now dozens of people personally to John Rouman and the

55
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: team at US medical Plan dot com because I know

56
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 4: health insurance if you don't get it through work, I

57
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: know how backbreakingly expensive it can be. And when people

58
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 4: are trying to squeeze every nickel out of their budget

59
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 4: they can, health insurance costs are always one of those

60
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: top line items. John has saved my family and friends

61
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: of mine literal hundreds of dollars each. In one friend's case,

62
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: over one thousand dollars a month for his family. That's

63
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 4: real money. I mean, that's like a bill or two's

64
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 4: worth of money. John is saving and still getting equality

65
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 4: health insurance coverage that you can count on seven four

66
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 4: one zero forty three twenty one. Give him a couple

67
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: of minutes on the phone today, tell him what you

68
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 4: need by way of health insurance he'll shop and get

69
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 4: you the best rates possible. All private sector stuff too,

70
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 4: By the way, none of that Obamacare business eight seven

71
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: seven four one zero forty three twenty one or US

72
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: Medical Plan dot com. Yesterday we were up on Capitol

73
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 4: Hill talking to members of the House Republican Caucus. Met

74
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 4: some of the Angel families that President Trump recognized last night.

75
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: Talk to Nick Shirley, who has become I mean, he's

76
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 4: twenty three years old. I was sitting there thinking, you

77
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: are literally two years older than my oldest son. And

78
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: he is probably one of the biggest stars in journalism

79
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 4: today with nothing but a YouTube channel, and maybe the

80
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 4: biggest star on Capitol Hill last night, next to Donald

81
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: Trump himself.

82
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: Nick Shirley, twenty three.

83
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: This is the guy that busted open the Somali fraud

84
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: and basically made Tim Wall's Somali fraudy household name that

85
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: President Trump tackled last night. That kid was everywhere yesterday.

86
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: People couldn't get enough, and he live streamed everything. So

87
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: every time he'd sit down with anybody, including your host, he.

88
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: Live streamed it on YouTube.

89
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 7: Eddie.

90
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: I was getting emails from people yesterday saying I just

91
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: saw you at Nick Shirley's live stream. Thanks, I got

92
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: to start doing that, is what I learned.

93
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 8: Ed, Yes, oh absolutely, and something else I learned Chris

94
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 8: too from that experience, because yes, we're getting emails, tweets,

95
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 8: all that stuff. You and I have to go out

96
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 8: with a camera and I just have to just start

97
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 8: knocking on daycare doors and you know.

98
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 9: We'll do it.

99
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: You can get it done.

100
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 4: Follow me around with a live cam, and that's how

101
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: we're going to do the show for now on I'm serious.

102
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: I got more email and posts on x from people

103
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 4: watching Nick Shirley's live YouTube on Capitol Hill of me

104
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: interviewing him for the show later. So anyway, that was

105
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 4: a cool experience and then it was off to the

106
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 4: State of the Union for him. I was not there

107
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: last night, although apparently there was room. Seventy seats were

108
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 4: empty last night. Democrats, many of them did not show.

109
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 4: The ones that did were screen and yelling like banshees

110
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: or sitting on their hands for what are eighty twenty issues.

111
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 7: It was the.

112
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: Most unbelievable scene. I am convinced. I don't know how

113
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 4: many people watched it. I don't know what the overnight

114
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: numbers are, but I am convinced, if you watched this

115
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 4: thing last night, you've already made your decision about November.

116
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: If there's anybody that's actually an independent, if there's sincerely

117
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 4: anybody who could vote for either Republicans or Democrats, I

118
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 4: don't know who that person is, but if they're sincere

119
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 4: and they watched that last night, there is zero chance

120
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: their mind isn't made up right now how they're going

121
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 4: to vote in November. After watching that speech, I wish

122
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 4: everyone in the country could have watched that speech last night.

123
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 4: It was a tour de force. It was just a

124
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 4: fantastic State of the Union. And it wasn't just President

125
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 4: Trump speaking. He reset the country in real time. It

126
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: wasn't just we're recovering, it was we're winning. I thought

127
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 4: it most striking that he instantly declared that death of

128
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: Dei and then trotted out America's champions both in sport

129
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 4: and on the battlefield.

130
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: I was struck by that.

131
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 4: The ultimate and meritocracies right after he announces the death

132
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: of woke Dei garbage. It was the personification of the

133
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 4: entirety of his presidency, his messaging, his speech in general.

134
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 4: It was really I mean a two hour plus commanding speech.

135
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 4: The most productive first year in modern American history.

136
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: It is not hype. It's happening.

137
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: Working families are starting to feel it in their wallets,

138
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: their streets. America is back. Violent crime and murder unbelievably low,

139
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 4: the lowest in one hundred and twenty five years. That's

140
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: a real fact, Jack, look up the stats. It's true.

141
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 4: Even friends of Trump's had to go fact check that

142
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 4: and found out one hundred percent true. You know, he said,

143
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 4: I think, and we've pointed this out on the show.

144
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 4: The most one of the most important things about this presidency.

145
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 4: All hiring, all new jobs have been private sector hiring.

146
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 4: Who was the last president that could say the new

147
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: jobs created in this country were exclusively courtesy the private

148
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: sector while government jobs shrunk to the lowest level in

149
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: fifty years. That's your tax dollars, is what he's talking about.

150
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: I could go on and on. He rattled off win

151
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: after win, borders closed, rule of law, restored the war

152
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 4: on fraud. Oh man, did you see the headscarf get

153
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 4: angry at that one? Elan Omar spitting nails, screaming, And

154
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: yet I got him that he's a murderer. As he

155
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: brought up fraud and the Democrats sat wages, rising government,

156
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: shrinking communities, taking back safety from years of chaos in

157
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: their streets. Just going over some of my notes here, folks,

158
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 4: I could go all day. I can't go all day

159
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 4: because you know, we're headed over to the White House

160
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: and Mark Davis is going to be here with us

161
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: in just a little bit, our great friend out of Dallas,

162
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 4: and he'll take over the wheel because we're heading over

163
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 4: to the White House to get reaction to this today.

164
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: And I am sure they are feeling it because he

165
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: knocked it out of the park. He came to play

166
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: last night after the auto Pen presidency, the Dei madness.

167
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 4: Trump survived assassination attempts, including one just a few days

168
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: ago at mar A Lago. He wasn't home, but now

169
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: he just jokes, it's just commonplace. Yeah, people are trying

170
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: to kill me. I know that. That's just kind of

171
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: par for the course these days. And the Democrats what

172
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 4: did they do? They sat on their hands. They sat

173
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 4: on their hands for unbelievable amounts of time and easy

174
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 4: applause lines. In fact, President Trump knew they were going

175
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: to and dared them to sit on their hands. Caroline

176
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: Levitt posted this on x last night. Here's what the

177
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 4: Democrats in Congress refused to stand for during the State

178
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: of the Union. Putting American citizens over illegal aliens, voter

179
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 4: ID laws, the murder rate at the lowest since nineteen hundred,

180
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 4: keeping violent criminals locked up, protecting parental rights, stopping fraud

181
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: angel families, price transparency, taking on drug cartels, no tax

182
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: on tips, overtime, and social security, the most secure border

183
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 4: in history.

184
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: They refuse to stand for any of that.

185
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 4: How do you not stand for your first duty being

186
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 4: protecting American citizens, not illegal aliens. Trump literally called them

187
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 4: out and said, I dare you not to stand for

188
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 4: this one, and they didn't give me number seventy five.

189
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 4: This was probably one of the biggest jaw droppers of

190
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 4: the night.

191
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 10: To me, one of the great things about the State

192
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 10: of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance

193
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 10: to see clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight,

194
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 10: I'm inviting every legislature to join with my administration and

195
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 10: reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement,

196
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 10: then stand up and show your support. The first duty

197
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 10: of the American government is to protect American citizens, not

198
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 10: illegal alias.

199
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: In a shame.

200
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 10: You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up.

201
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 9: He should be ashamed of yourself. That is why I'm

202
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 9: also asking.

203
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 10: You to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals

204
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 10: and enact serious penalties for public officials who blocked.

205
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 9: The removal of criminal aliens.

206
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 10: In many cases, drug lords, murderers all over our country.

207
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 10: They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country.

208
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 9: And you should be ashamed of yourself.

209
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: I got to tell you, this is just devastating. This

210
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 4: is devastating. I like, and they knew it. I mean,

211
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 4: this is the thing about President Trump and this White

212
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 4: House Comms team. They knew exactly how these lunatics were

213
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 4: going to behave They took the bait every time, and

214
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 4: he literally said, if you agree that American citizens deserve

215
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: defending before legal aliens, please stand knowing full well these lunatics,

216
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: one of them screaming in a headscarf, wouldn't do it.

217
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: Great.

218
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: Look the ones that showed up, even CNN and Frank

219
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 4: Lunz had to admit bad. Look that they didn't show.

220
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 4: CNN said, everybody that watched the thing, it was a

221
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: sixty thirty approval that Trump's policies were going to make

222
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 4: the country better. Even on CNN, they ran the numbers

223
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: on Newsom AOC, Cackle, Bridges, and boot Edge Edge as

224
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 4: the four front runners for the Democrats the bod billion.

225
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 4: Harry Enton called them a clown car, he said, the

226
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 4: Democrat And this is CNN saying the Democrats are a

227
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 4: clown car. It's an excrement show. John Fetterman showed up

228
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 4: in a suit. I mean, it was an unbelievable night.

229
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 4: I don't even know where to go with this. I'm

230
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: glad Mark Davis has a lot of runway today because

231
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 4: he's gonna have plenty to say, and I know you will.

232
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 4: Two at eight five five STI Gaul, how about this one?

233
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 4: Number seventy eight not standing for this one either.

234
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 10: And here is one more opportunity to show common sense

235
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 10: in government. In the gallery tonight are Sage Blair and

236
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 10: her mother Michelle. In twenty twenty one, Sage was fourteen

237
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 10: when school officials in Virginia sought to socially transition her

238
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 10: to a new agender, treating her.

239
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 9: As a boy.

240
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: And then he goes on to tell the story of

241
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 4: this woman and he says, if you agree that schools

242
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 4: should not take kids and transition them in secret from

243
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 4: their parents, stand up. The Democrats sat again. So that's

244
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 4: the Democrat Party in twenty twenty six and today in

245
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 4: the podcast. Just so you know, these conversations that I

246
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 4: had yesterday, maybe those of you who follow on social

247
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 4: media may have seen where I was and what I

248
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 4: was up to. I had some great ones, Rich McCormick,

249
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 4: congressman from Georgia, among them Mark Harris, who I had

250
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: not met before, Congressman from North Carolina, who happens to

251
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 4: be the only member of Congress at least in the

252
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 4: House who's also a pastor, like an active duty pastor,

253
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 4: like goes home every Sunday and pastors his church in

254
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 4: North Carolina every week. I thought that remarkable, and we

255
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 4: had a really interesting kind of theological discussion about what

256
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 4: it is to be a pastor and a member of Congress,

257
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: not two things that are typically associated.

258
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: And I asked him about.

259
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 4: People who lead churches, what their role and responsibility is

260
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: right now in shepherding their flock, discussing politics. Don Lemon

261
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: and those goons storming a church service recently up in minute.

262
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 4: It was a really fantastic conversation you're going to enjoy,

263
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: I think Jim Jordan, I asked him, given all that

264
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 4: we've learned about Jack Smith, what we have not quite

265
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 4: heard or seen yet out of the Department of Justice

266
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 4: in Pam BONDI, I know a lot of you are

267
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 4: very frustrated about it, as Tim has he lost faith

268
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 4: in her? Do we have reason to have faith in her?

269
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 4: Is he's satisfied in the work she's doing and cash Hotel.

270
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 4: I asked him that again. This is I think the

271
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: third time I've asked this to his face, and I

272
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 4: got some clarifying information from him, and then I mentioned

273
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: him a little earlier. Nick Shirley, this twenty three year old.

274
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 4: I know what people may quibble with calling a twenty

275
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: three year old a kid, but I mean that's like

276
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 4: I said, I have a son who's twenty one and

277
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 4: twenty two sons. I kept looking at him, thinking, you

278
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: were two years older than my oldest son. And he

279
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 4: has millions and millions of followers on social media and YouTube.

280
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 4: He was live streaming as we were talking yesterday on

281
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 4: Capitol Hill. And this is the guy that busted open

282
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: the Somali fraud that President Trump called out the White

283
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 4: House invited him to Capitol Hill last night for the

284
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 4: State of the Union. Great conversation with him. What makes

285
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 4: him tick, the threats he's under now, by the way,

286
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 4: he has to travel with security. Now, a twenty three

287
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 4: year old who just goes around with a camera and

288
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: interviews people doing journalism that multimillion dollar news Organizmtions cannot

289
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 4: or won't do. It's incredible. So anyway, all of that

299
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 4: never tell us. It's always a surprise people. Are you

300

Speaker 8: USA hockey jersey. I love that guy.

311
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,440

312
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: in and matching sweaters and their gold medals?

313
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 7: You like that.

314
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: It's just amazing.

315
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 8: What a display it would, a display a patriotism. I

316
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 8: know we didn't beat the Red Army like we did

317
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 8: in nineteen eighty, but gosh.

318
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 5: It was cool.

319
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: It was a school. It was such a cool night.

320
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 4: We'll get Mark Davis's reaction to all of it last

321
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: night from the great State of Texas in mere moments,

322
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 4: where there's a very interesting primary coming up down there

323
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 4: in March, by the way, first week of March. We're

324
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 4: all watching. Chuck Todd has to admit, damn it, this

325
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: guy Trump's pretty good at this number sixty nine.

326
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: Who's the best communicator of this generation? I guess you

327
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: have to say it's Donald Trump. He's your answer for

328
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: a lot of things. I would have said, this is

329
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: going to surprise a lot of people.

330
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 11: Well he is.

331
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 12: He's figured out how to communicate in this fragmented environment.

332
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 11: Yeah.

333
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: Who else has and punched through?

334
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 11: Right?

335
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, So when you're if the question is effective communicator,

336
00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 12: he's effective. Look Barack Obama was. I do think Barack

337
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 12: Obama figured out how to do something that another Democrat,

338
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 12: if they can figure it out, will be the next leader,

339
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 12: which is how to make progressive think you're a revolutionary

340
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 12: and how to make moderates think you're a pragmatist.

341
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: That's okay.

342
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: So here's what's fascinating about what Chuck Todd just said.

343
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 4: Could I break that down for you? Barack Obama learned

344
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 4: how to sell radicalism in a smooth way. That's what

345
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: he just said. Let me bring in another masterful communicator

346
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 4: from Dallas, Texas, Master of the Morning's Am six sixty

347
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 4: the Answer seven to ten Central every weekday, morning, Mark Davis.

348
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 5: How are you, mister Davis?

349
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 11: You're my friend. How's life in the big town?

350
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 4: You're right where the actions, buddy, This was something to

351
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 4: watch last night. I know you did too. I don't

352
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 4: think I've ever seen anything quite like it for a

353
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 4: lot of reasons. What was your initial reaction to it?

354
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 3: Well, if somebody had told me Chris going in, and

355
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 3: he kind of did. The President said, we got a

356
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: lot to talk about. It's going to be a long speech,

357
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 3: and I thought, okay, okay, play just please, Lord, please,

358
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: because we all let so there's love in the room,

359
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: or there's support broadly defined, but I thought it was

360
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 3: possible that we were in for a night where there

361
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 3: would be some wonderful moments, but it might ultimately be

362
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: an exhausting journey down some of the rabbit holes that

363
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: we know he's capable of, look at some of the

364
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: campaign rallies. But Chris, this was disciplined, It was purposeful,

365
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: it was linear. There was a certain poetry to this.

366
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 3: The longest State of the Union ever also winds up

367
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 3: being the most content packed, the most inspiring, the most

368
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 3: I think if you coined reset button, props to you

369
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 3: because it had the feeling. And look, let's not overstate

370
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,239
Speaker 3: or understate anything. On the morning after, we still have

371
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: about two hundred and fifty days long days before the midterms.

372
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 3: But what a magnificent start to blast through a narrative

373
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 3: that says there's malaise everywhere. Everybody's bummed. You asked the question,

374
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 3: I think earlier this week. What's everybody upset about? We

375
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 3: have gender sanity, environmental sanity, borders, fixed economy is rebounding.

376
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: What really are people upset about? So, ultimately, as I

377
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 3: hand it back to you, I don't hold up James

378
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 3: Carvill as any oracle of wisdom.

379
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 11: But nineteen ninety.

380
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 3: Two he said it's the economy stupid, and that might

381
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: be the case this year.

382
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 4: As you said something that I couldn't agree with more,

383
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 4: And that was discipline that I think even the biggest

384
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 4: Trump enthusiasts sometimes.

385
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: Feel he can lack.

386
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 4: He will wander down a path of his choosing, and

387
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 4: he may wander down that path for a good long time,

388
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 4: taking him off his intended message. And I'll tell you,

389
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 4: if I'm to be honest, I puckered when he brought

390
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 4: up tariffs and the Supreme Court, and to my amazement,

391
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 4: he what did he call the ruling unfortunate?

392
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 2: I think that's what he's And then he moved on, Mark,

393
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: he moved on.

394
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 11: Can you believe it?

395
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 2: He moved on?

396
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 3: He just took a glancing, a glancing visit online because again,

397
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: there were people I think a lot of conservative America said,

398
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: mister President, do not pull an Obama, Do not pull

399
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: an Obama.

400
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 11: Do not shame them to their faces.

401
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 3: I think Obama had come down against something, and there's

402
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 3: Samuel Alito in the crowd going, it's not true, that's

403
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 3: not true.

404
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 11: And Alito was right, by the way.

405
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: I believe Trump is right on his observation on the

406
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 3: tariff ruling, but this was not the place to pick

407
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: a fight with people who are sitting right in front

408
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: of you. And once again, not just discipline. It's funny.

409
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: He showed restraint in that moment, but boy, when it

410
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: was time to take off the restraint shackles and go

411
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 3: after people. What he looked over at the Democrat half

412
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 3: that was not rising. I can understand the Democrats not

413
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 3: standing up for specific conservative things. I mean, that's the

414
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: way the field is striped. But when you can't stand

415
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 3: for keeping Americans safe, when you can't stand for various

416
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 3: other things that eighty twenty ninety ten issues, that's when

417
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: he looked over at their half of the room and said,

418
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 3: those people are crazy. And I think that's a big

419
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: part of midterm messaging as well. Well, you may not

420
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 3: agree with everything we say as Republicans, but those people

421
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: are insane. There were some common sense things that he

422
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: said last night that he couldn't even get an amen.

423
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: For from the Democrat Party. It was telling Mark, I

424
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: know you're men.

425
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 4: By the way, thank you so much for taking the

426
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 4: wheel here in just a little bit as we head

427
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 4: over to the White House this morning, and you're going

428
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 4: to play much more of that speech a little later,

429
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 4: but I'll play this again just because to me, this

430
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 4: was the moment. I mean, if there's a campaign ad

431
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 4: for Republicans to come out of last night, it was

432
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: this moment number seventy five.

433
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 10: One of the great things about the State of the

434
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 10: Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see

435
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 10: clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight, I'm inviting

436
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 10: every legislature to join with my administration and reaffirming a

437
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 10: fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand

438
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 10: up and show your support. The first duty of the

439
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 10: American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal alien

440
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 10: In that shame, you should be ashamed of yourself not

441
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 10: standing up.

442
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 9: You should be ashamed of yourself.

443
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 10: That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly

444
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 10: sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties

445
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 10: for public officials who block.

446
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 9: The removal of criminal aliens.

447
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 10: In many cases, drug lords, murderers all over our country.

448
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 10: They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country,

449
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 10: and you should be ashamed of yourself.

450
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 4: And Mark Davis, the angry lady on the headscarf, was

451
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 4: screaming at him that he's the murderer. Now, the optics

452
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 4: of that moment, in my view, summarize in a very

453
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 4: succinct way where we are as a country, and a

454
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 4: very distinct choice voters have in November.

455
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 11: They do exactly.

456
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: And a lot of people say, you'll hear this morning,

457
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: and we heard last night. We've never been more divided.

458
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: Look how divided we are are. That's not a first

459
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 3: of all, when have we ever been united for twenty

460
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: minutes after nine to eleven, before everybody returned to their

461
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 3: natural habitat. There's going to be division, and there's nothing

462
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 3: wrong with division. We have our ideas, they have their ideas.

463
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: The midterms and every day between now in the midterms

464
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 3: is a battle over whose ideas are better. Last night,

465
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: President Trump gave a masterclass in showing how our ideas

466
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: are three things, how our ideas are better, how their ideas.

467
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 11: Or lack of them are alarming.

468
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 3: And then also from the hockey team to the various heroes,

469
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 3: people who have been through struggles in life, military heroes,

470
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: people who have rescued people, people who have defended our nation,

471
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: just the wave of heroes. It was also an invitation

472
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 3: to return to patriotism the way it used to be,

473
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 3: before patriotism was something to be mocked, when patriotism was

474
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 3: something you could find in our schools, our institutions, and

475
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 3: the White House was an invitation to come back to

476
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: those times. And I think it's an invitation that a

477
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: lot of Americans are going to accept.

478
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 4: Mark did something in his career that I coveted and

479
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 4: envy more than anything else You've done, Mark Davis, And

480
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 4: that is fill in for the great Rush Limbaugh, something

481
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 4: I wish I could have done and never got the

482
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 4: privilege to do. And that speaks so highly of you

483
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 4: and what he thought of you. And I couldn't help

484
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 4: but think I always think in these big moments of

485
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 4: him and what he would have had to say today

486
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 4: about that.

487
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: We know he was a personal friend of President Trump's.

488
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 4: He loved him as a communicator before it was fashionable,

489
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 4: as was often the case. Did you think about that

490
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 4: last night? What Rush might think about this speech last night?

491
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 11: Only? Every day?

492
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 3: Only every day, all, not just all of us who

493
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: do this for a living, but those of us who,

494
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 3: as all good Americans did drove around and listened to him,

495
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 3: And I don't think we have to engage in a

496
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 3: lot of guesswork. You and I both noted it's been

497
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: just about five years this week this month since his passing.

498
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 3: I can't believe it's been that long. But are there

499
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: are clips of his sort of final stretch of shows

500
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty in early twenty twenty one, and it

501
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 3: was pretty clear what he thought of the president. He

502
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: had the exact conservative view that you need to focus

503
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 3: on results. These are the best results since Reagan. People

504
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 3: engaged in a distraction exercise about style or personality or

505
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 3: rhetorical excess are missing the point. So I believe that

506
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 3: if there were a Rush Limbaugh show today, he would

507
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: be saying many of those same things. And I still

508
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: hear his voice, and I still follow his inspiring lead

509
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: both in our industry and in our country.

510
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 4: Godlin, I talk with some members of the Texas delegation

511
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 4: yesterday on Capitol Hill, and we've only got a couple

512
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 4: of seconds. Could you summarize what's coming down the pike

513
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 4: and your great state of Texas with these primaries, particularly

514
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 4: on the Democrats side. Does Jasmine Crockett stand a chance

515
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 4: of winning this primary?

516
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 11: She absolutely does.

517
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 3: And there were some doubters because it's Texas, and in Texas,

518
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: our Democrats actually own gun sometimes actually go to church,

519
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: and some of them actually believe we need a border.

520
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 11: But this Tallarico guy is.

521
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 3: Such a blasphemer and he's just objectively not that bright.

522
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 3: So this is other than Paxton and Cornyn and Wesley

523
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: Hunt on the Republican side, which is fascinating.

524
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 11: What are Texas Democrats going to do?

525
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: Every eye is on our state with a primary that's

526
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 3: just days away to see whether we go with sort

527
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 3: of the more mainstream ish Tallarico or the sort of

528
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 3: the blue state rock star status of Jasmine Crockett. And

529
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: as a talk show host, one of the most fun

530
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: answers I can give is I have no idea, Get

531
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 3: you popcorn ready, and we'll see what Texas voters do.

532
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 4: What it covers it Like Mark Davis in Dallas on

533
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 4: AM six sixty the answer, thanks for coming in and

534
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 4: pitch hitting this morning, Glad. I appreciate you well.

535
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 5: His work precedes him.

536
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 4: He's got to be one of the biggest figures in

537
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 4: digital media today.

538
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 5: Nick Shirley, it is good to see you here on

539
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 5: Capitol Hill. Thank you.

540
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: Happy to be here.

541
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 4: Your first visit kind of in an official capacity, I guess.

542
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: I would guess so.

543
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, other times have been unannounced and I've gone and

544
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 13: done my own thing.

545
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 4: I have heard your name bandied about more in the

546
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 4: last months than I do most anyone who's been considered

547
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 4: a media pro in years.

548
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 5: What do you make of your newfound fame?

549
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 4: If that's what you want to call it, you probably

550
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 4: don't call it that, but that's what it is.

551
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's been different because before all this, people knew

552
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 13: who I was as far as like my videos, I

553
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 13: had a million of describers on YouTube.

554
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: But this one really hit all.

555
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 13: Social media, on X, hit on YouTube, hit on all platforms,

556
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 13: and it really did go worldwide. I'm getting messages from

557
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 13: people from Australia and the UK saying we had the

558
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 13: same fraud happening inside of our country.

559
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 4: Why did you decide to engage on this front and

560
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 4: tell people? For people that don't know your work. Prior

561
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 4: to becoming sort of the news household name that you've become,

562
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 4: what were you known for primarily?

563
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: Before before this?

564
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 13: I had done videos on immigration, had spoken to legal

565
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 13: migrants that they came across the border in the US.

566
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 13: I did a lot of stuff on the election, have

567
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 13: traveled over till over fifteen countries in the past year

568
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 13: and a half making videos about current events. Had gone

569
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 13: to the prisons in El Salvador, had gone in the

570
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,719
Speaker 13: favelas of Brazil, had spent times in the streets of Kensington, Philadelphia,

571
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 13: the streets of skid Row, Zombie Land and crack Olandia

572
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 13: and South Paulo. I had done a lot before this,

573
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 13: and so why I'm super interested to see how the

574
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 13: world works and to see what's the pressure points of

575
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 13: the world and what's making people do the things they're doing.

576
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 13: Because there's a lot of things happening, a lot of corruption,

577
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 13: and a lot of people are dying from things like

578
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 13: fentanyl crisis, or you're seeing a lot of issues arise

579
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 13: in the Western illegal migration and there's no other really

580
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 13: YouTubers that were documenting it and then also kind.

581
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: Of sharing their own opinions on a lot of things.

582
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 13: A lot of YouTubers go and make these kind of videos,

583
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 13: but they never actually not pick a side, but they

584
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 13: don't ever try to come up with any sort of solution.

585
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 13: They kind of just show up for what it is

586
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 13: and never say, Okay, well, maybe there are people inside

587
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 13: the government right now who are trying to bring about

588
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 13: some sort of solution, whether that be with fraud or

589
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 13: whether that be with legal immigration. I mean, I saw

590
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 13: a lot of people get trafficked over from the United

591
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 13: States borders. So wh Trump says he's going to close

592
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 13: the border, I'm gonna I'm stoked about that. I'm gonna

593
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 13: support that. I'm not gonna support the other side that's

594
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 13: endorsing that.

595
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 5: Have you spoken to President Trump?

596
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: I gave a briefing do him at the White House

597
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: for Antifa. That was cool. Yes, I did that, and

598
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: I gotta shake his hand.

599
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 14: That was pretty cool.

600
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 4: What's your if I may ask, and I'm only I'm

601
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 4: going somewhere with this question.

602
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 5: You're twenty three, Yeah, I'm told now.

603
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 4: I have a son who's twenty one, and another who's

604
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 4: twenty just turned I'm told that it is your group

605
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 4: that helped elect Donald Trump in big numbers, but it

606
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 4: also is your group that is falling. Donald Trump is

607
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 4: falling out of favor with your group right now, Are

608
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: you hearing the same and if so, why?

609
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 9: Yeah.

610
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 13: I think a lot of people are upset with the

611
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 13: Epstein files, and they're upset with like the affordability, and

612
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 13: everyone has their idea upset with the Epstein files. And

613
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 13: I'm still trying to figure out my own opinion on

614
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 13: that because there is so much bad going on with

615
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 13: Epstein files. Yet Trump released the files. They're taking a

616
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 13: long time release. They took a long time release, and

617
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 13: he said he was gonna release them. But then also

618
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 13: Joe Biden and the Democrats could release them for four years.

619
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 13: They had complete power, they could have released him. And

620
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 13: I think everyone who says that Trump was a good

621
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 13: friend with Epstein, I don't think that's the case.

622
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: He was one of the first person to.

623
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 13: Ever report at Epstein and his wife and goes gets

624
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 13: laying to the FBI, And so I think you're seeing

625
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 13: kind of a lot of the medium manipulation. And I'm

626
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 13: thinking Trump's waiting because a lot of the Democrats didn't

627
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 13: even believe in the Epstein, in anything about Epstein beforehand.

628
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: So I think Trump might he could be playing us.

629
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 13: All as far as letting it play out so that

630
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 13: way all the evidence comes about and then comes down

631
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 13: with the hammer. It is pretty clear because now they're

632
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 13: arresting people in the UK Norway they arrested people as well.

633
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 13: People are stepping down. So I think arrest will need

634
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 13: to happen, and that will kind of restore the faith

635
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 13: of people here in the United States once arrest do

636
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 13: happen from Epstein.

637
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: But if nothing does happen, everyone's gonna lose faith.

638
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 4: I mean, no one can doubt that if Donald Trump

639
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,239
Speaker 4: were implicated in these files, someone would have released them

640
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 4: before now.

641
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 5: I mean, they've tried to murder the man for evensake.

642
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: Exactly, and they just try to murder another day at Marlaco.

643
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 4: Right, So it's hard to believe if there wasn't if

644
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 4: there was something on in the man himself, they wouldn't

645
00:30:58,720 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: have gotten to it.

646
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 5: But now, right, But why do you feel inclined.

647
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 4: At your age to involve yourself the way you have

648
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 4: on I assume on your own. I don't know if

649
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 4: I may pry. This is the thing I talk about

650
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 4: with digital media folks all the time. They do a

651
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: lot of work, but I don't necessarily know who's funding them.

652
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 4: There is money in it, right, there is big money

653
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 4: in it.

654
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 5: There can be. I'm not suggesting you, but you know

655
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 5: what I'm.

656
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 4: Saying, Like people should consider who they're consuming and what

657
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 4: made fund what they're consuming exactly.

658
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 13: So like for me, for instance, I started making videos

659
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 13: more politically based after I had or turned back from

660
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 13: two year mission from my church and I had zero dollars.

661
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 13: So when I came home back from that trip, I

662
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 13: worked for an entire month. I powerwashed houses and my

663
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 13: goal is to make ten thousand dollars in cash. And

664
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 13: so then I then took that ten thousand dollars in

665
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 13: cash and use that to funnel my YouTube channel for

666
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 13: the first three months until I could actually make a profit,

667
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 13: because you actually don't really make money on YouTube until

668
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 13: you can start getting the millions of views.

669
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 5: You funded it.

670
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 4: But did you always with the gold in mind you

671
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 4: were going to grow your YouTube VideA?

672
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 13: Yeah, I always knew I was gonna make I always

673
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 13: knew I was going to YouTuber.

674
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 7: Wow.

675
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 5: Always that was always your goal.

676
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, since I've been fifteen.

677
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 13: I've made a video pretty much every week since I

678
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 13: was fifteen years old, even on my when I went

679
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 13: on my mission trip, by still making videos interviewing people

680
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 13: about Jesus in Spanish how to upload those onto Facebook.

681
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: But so I've always been I've always had those.

682
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,719
Speaker 13: Like inkling to make these YouTube videos, and now it's

683
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 13: kind of turned into what it is today.

684
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 5: And now I know why is that what drives you Jesus?

685
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 13: Well, I mean I have faith in Jesus, and so

686
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 13: I try to live my life in a way where

687
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 13: I please Jesus. But I wouldn't say like he's the

688
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 13: driver to go make a political based video. I think

689
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 13: that's the more like maybe he's the one giving me

690
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 13: the impressions to do it.

691
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 5: Yes, because it's changing lives.

692
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 4: You're exposing things that other journalists aren't talking about.

693
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 5: I think you've probably noticed that people.

694
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 4: That are professional journalists are not covering what you're covering,

695
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 4: which is why you've gotten the attention you've got.

696
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 13: Yeah, one hundred percent, because this is the stuff that's

697
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 13: affecting people. Legal immigration is affecting a lot of the

698
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 13: I mean, I think one of the reasons why housing

699
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 13: is expensive here in the United States is because you

700
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 13: brought in twenty illegal migrants and they also need a

701
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 13: place to live. And so it's basic supplying the man

702
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 13: that when there's less of a supply, the demand goes

703
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 13: up and so does the price. Yea, And but now

704
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 13: you're seeing rents go down, which is good, but it's

705
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 13: so expensive. And so I think that I try to

706
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 13: focus on things that we can actually control, because we

707
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 13: as young people and just general population in general, we

708
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 13: can't control everything that happens in the government, but we

709
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 13: can control We can't go after a fraud, we can't

710
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 13: expose what's actually going on.

711
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: Are we gonna be the ones riding the bills and stuff.

712
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 13: No, But we can be the ones to show the

713
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 13: reality of what's happening, and then that creates the impressions

714
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 13: for the people here to make a difference. I just

715
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 13: talked to a lady who just came up with a

716
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 13: new bill to pass against the fraudsters because of what

717
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 13: I have done. So that's one way where we can

718
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 13: do our part and exposing.

719
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 5: Do you believe with young people?

720
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 4: Young people are either at home and upset and angry

721
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 4: or taking action as you are. I mean, you don't

722
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 4: seem angry. You don't come off as an angry person.

723
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: But I hear a lot that younger people your age

724
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 4: are angry right now about the state of things in

725
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 4: the country. How do you describe yourself?

726
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not angry.

727
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 13: I am upset, and I do when I do go

728
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 13: look at the price of houses or the prices around, like,

729
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 13: holy crap, how are people doing this? But the reason

730
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 13: why these people I feel bad for a lot of

731
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 13: these kids who are upset because they've been told that

732
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 13: they need to go to college, and then they go

733
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 13: to college and then they finished.

734
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: They can't even get.

735
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 13: A job that could provide a good life for them,

736
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 13: or they've gotten to a point where their debts so

737
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 13: high that their income, they'll be paying off their debt

738
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 13: for years and years.

739
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 5: Where do you go from here?

740
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: Or I go from here?

741
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 13: I'm just keep doing what I'm doing and continue to

742
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 13: make a difference. Now, like my life changes as far

743
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 13: as obviously a lot more people know me. Whenever I

744
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 13: go out and film, I have to have security and

745
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 13: things are a little bit different.

746
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 1: So you've been threatened, Oh, Yeah, for sure.

747
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 4: Are you fearful when you walk into these places. I've

748
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 4: seen some of your videos where you walk into these

749
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 4: Somali run places that clearly are in gauging in fraud.

750
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 4: Does that intimidate you?

751
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: No, not really. They don't like intimidating.

752
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 13: But I mean, like one gangster told me once, he's like,

753
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 13: you're walking the streets of scott He's like a bullet

754
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 13: don't have no name. And I said, that's true. So

755
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 13: it's like, I mean, a gunshot could kill you.

756
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 5: In an instant, but you're not afraid of that.

757
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: Well, I don't want to be afraid of it, so

758
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: I try not think about it.

759
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 5: No, amen, and you keep doing it.

760
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 4: Nothing's going to stop you from the work you're doing exactly,

761
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 4: So listen. I commend you, and honestly, you make lives

762
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 4: for guys like me easier because you make great content

763
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 4: that frankly I can play for our audience, and you're

764
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 4: getting tremendous response. I mean really, I just your boldness,

765
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 4: frankly is impressive because there are people that are paid

766
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 4: a lot of money that aren't willing to do what

767
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 4: you do.

768
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 13: Yeah, a lot of these media organizations and people themselves.

769
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 13: Like if you work for a mainstream media organization, that

770
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 13: company receives millions of dollars or it's a million billion

771
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 13: dollar industry, so they have the backing and I don't.

772
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: So that's why I.

773
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 13: Do the things I do, whether it be telling people

774
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 13: to subscribe to my channel, becoming members and contribute five

775
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 13: dollars a month, or buy a hoodie or check out

776
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 13: the sponsors of my channel, because I don't take any

777
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 13: outside funding from anybody that any I don't work for

778
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 13: a network.

779
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 4: Final question, I can't help just because I'm a dad.

780
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 4: I'm a dad of a couple of boys almost your age.

781
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 4: What about your folks?

782
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 5: Your family, do they have an opinion on what you do?

783
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 5: Have they talked to you about Oh?

784
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, they support it.

785
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 7: They love it.

786
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 4: My mom, I haven't said, hey, easy, now you're getting

787
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 4: a little too much attention.

788
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 13: Things have changed, so like obviously now we'd like to

789
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 13: the conversations are a little bit different, but no, they're

790
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 13: still very much supportive.

791
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, so go for it to keep going on. Hey, listen, man,

792
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 4: I thank you for what you do. Seriously, it's really

793
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 4: appreciate it.

794
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 14: God, you have a good day, you too.

795
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 4: I don't know about you. If you have yo yo

796
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 4: dieted all of your life, I certainly have Keto paleo

797
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 4: weight watchers, intermittent fasting. You lose weight, and I have.

798
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 4: I've lost dramatic amounts of weight before, only to gain

799
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 4: it back and then some And you probably kick yourself

800
00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 4: for it, and you think it's all about your own

801
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 4: way power, in your own lack of discipline. Look, maybe

802
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 4: EI there's some of that, but the real truth of

803
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 4: it is it was not strictly about willpower. There is

804
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 4: one thing only that determines whether your body burns fat

805
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 4: or stores fat. And if you don't know how to

806
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 4: fix that, every diet you're ever going to try fails.

807
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 4: That's all that changed for me was looking at it differently,

808
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 4: and PhDe Weight Loss told me how to look at

809
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 4: it differently. Doctor Ashley Lucas and I started talking about

810
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 4: her program and why it's worked so well for some

811
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 4: of my colleagues, and how she's different. And so when

812
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 4: I went on this program last year and I began

813
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 4: to eat real food, I didn't have to take any

814
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 4: kind of shots or any kind of gimmicky drugs or

815
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 4: anything like that. It was just purely understanding how my

816
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 4: body best metabolizes food, when to eat, what to eat,

817
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 4: and not starving myself by the way. And here's the deal.

818
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 4: You start to have real victories quickly. And I lost

819
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 4: over forty pounds in under four months time fast. Eddie,

820
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 4: our executive producer, was so impressed with it, he said,

821
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind trying it. I said, how much you

822
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 4: want to lose? He said fifty pounds. So we dialed

823
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 4: up Ashley Lucas and I said, can Eddie lose fifty

824
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 4: pounds along with me here? And she said, oh absolutely,

825
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 4: Let's give it till May. So he started the program.

826
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 5: Folks, he is.

827
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 4: Already halfway to his goal after just thirteen weeks or so. So,

828
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 4: I mean, you're talking about over twenty five pounds in

829
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 4: a matter of weeks.

830
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 2: That could be your story.

831
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 7: Now.

832
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 4: I have managed to lose that kind of weight last

833
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 4: year and coming into a new year keeping that weight off.

834
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 4: That's the first time in my weight loss history that

835
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 4: I've lost that kind of weight and maintained the weight loss.

836
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 4: Because at PhD Weight Loss they've identified that one thing

837
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,160

00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 4: help you lose that weight and keep the body working

839

Speaker 4: for you, not against you. And if you call right now,

840
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,040

Speaker 4: You pay for food, all right, just for food, and

842
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 4: they'll give you two free weeks of the program so

Speaker 14: Good to be with you again.

853
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 5: Busy time, never not busy.

854
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,439
Speaker 4: We were just talking about that there is no off

855
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 4: position on your switch, is there.

856
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 14: Well, it's always always something to do.

857
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 15: We were supposed to be doing the markup today, marking

858
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 15: up this this this crazy sanctuary jurisdiction issue that's out

859
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 15: there where left wing political leaders tell their local law

860
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 15: enforcement not to not to work with federal offer.

861
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 14: Literally, one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

862
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 15: But uh, but with the weather and different things, we

863
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 15: would move that mark up to next week.

864
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 4: But still a busy day. State of the Union tonight.

865
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 4: What do you expect to hear tonight? I hear it's

866
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 4: gonna be a long one. President Trump's alread promised it's

867
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 4: gonna be a long one.

868
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 15: I always say, we make this job too complicated. It's

869
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 15: pretty simple. What did you tell the voters you were

870
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 15: going to do when you ran for it, when you

871
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 15: put your name on a ballot, If you win, go

872
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 15: do what you said. No one does that better than

873
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 15: President Trump. So I think he'll talk about all the

874
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 15: good things that have been accomplished. Said he cut taxes

875
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 15: he did, said he'd you know, secure the border he did.

876
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 15: Said he'd bring down crime he did. Said he get

877
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 15: military recruitment up and it's off the charts, said he would.

878
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 14: Get men out of women's sport.

879
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 15: Don't know, He'll rattle off all that, all the list

880
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 15: of good things, uh that that that have happened.

881
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 14: And then I think, you know, the other thing you

882
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 14: gotta do is tell them what we're gonna do.

883
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 10: Uh.

884
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 14: There's still a few things that need to be worked.

885
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 15: On on on the price of housing, the price of healthcare.

886
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 15: And then finally I think he'll he'll which I think

887
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 15: is really important. I think he'll remind the country how

888
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 15: crazy the left is. Every policy the left has is

889
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 15: just that crazy. And you can go down that whole

890
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 15: list too. So I think he'll do those three things.

891
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 15: Tell him what we've done, tell him what we need

892
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 15: to do, Remind them of the lefts crazy.

893
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 7: Do you have.

894
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 4: Any civil discourse left with Democrats on your on that

895
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 4: side at all?

896
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 5: Is there any left here in this building?

897
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 9: Yeah?

898
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 14: There is, uh.

899
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 15: But you know, I always say not all Democrats are crazy,

900
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 15: but the left that controls their party is. And the

901
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 15: left has all the energy in the party. You've seen

902
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 15: all these child and they got primary after primary where

903
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 15: someone on the radical left is challenging a you know,

904
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 15: somewhat less radical Democrat who maybe like in Texas.

905
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 4: I mean, you're calling Jasmine Crockett. How do you think

906
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 4: that's going to shake out?

907
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 15: I don't know if we're going to know in a week.

908
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 15: There's a lot of races down there that are important, But.

909
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 4: I mean that's kind of the identity issue for the

910
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 4: Democrats right now, whether they're going to go as you say,

911
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 4: sort of a betto left or a jasmine crocket left.

912
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 4: And there is still a difference, maybe not much, but

913
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 4: at least in presentation.

914
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 15: Yeah, no, there's And right now it seems to me

915
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 15: the hard left winning. You know, there's some of their policies.

916
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 15: I mean, think about the Democrat Party now. Their policy

917
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 15: is to be anti Israel, which makes no sense, which

918
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 15: is I think frightening, which is scary. Israel's our best friend.

919
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 15: It's like, what are you talking about? So we'll see

920
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 15: how it shakes out. But I still get along with Democrat,

921
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 15: try to be cordial and talk with them. But you know,

922
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 15: we go at it and committee, we go at it

923
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 15: on the House floor.

924
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 4: I know you here when you go home and talk

925
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 4: to constituents. And I asked the audience just this week,

926
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 4: I said, what do you want to hear the president say?

927
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 4: What do you want to see from the Republicans in Congress?

928
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 4: In no particular order, The top three always happen to

929
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 4: be housing, slash affordability, and then and this is where

930
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 4: you come in. And I've asked you this before when

931
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 4: we were here prosecutions. People are hungry to see those

932
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 4: who violated the law punished and it's it's a patience game.

933
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 5: And so I'll ask you a question I asked you

934
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 5: last time.

935
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 4: Should folks listening to us right now still feel very

936
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 4: confident in this Department of Justice and Pam BONDI in

937
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 4: your I.

938
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 14: Think so yes. I think Pam's done a good job.

939
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 15: I think Todd Blant's the Deputy Torney General, the new

940
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 15: guy they've hired to combat fraud. This Colum McDonald I

941
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 15: met with two weeks ago. I think he's sharp, young lawyer,

942
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 15: going to do a great job and this this fraud

943
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 15: issue and focusing on all the billions that have been

944
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 15: ripped off from taxpayers.

945
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 7: So I do.

946
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 15: It is frustrating though, because we've we've done so much oversight,

947
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 15: and I always remind people in the legislative branch we

948
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 15: can and diet to prosecute anyone. All we can do

949
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,479
Speaker 15: is get the facts and then we can look at,

950
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 15: you know.

951
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 14: Legislative solutions.

952
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 15: Potentially we've done that, and we can look at the

953
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 15: power of the purse using that. But indictments have to

954
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 15: come from the justice part.

955
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 16: Now.

956
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 15: We have also done referrals, like we refer John Brennan

957
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 15: to the Justice Department for prosecution.

958
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 14: We'll see what they decide to do. But we we know.

959
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 15: John Brennan lied to us under oath last Congress when

960
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 15: we were deposing him, So.

961
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 5: We do all we can do, just as a lehman.

962
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 4: Can you talk to me about the process there, so

963
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 4: you say you feel very confident John Brennan lied, so

964
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 4: he must be indicted.

965
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 5: That's a dj thing.

966
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 4: Can you walk us through just help us understand what

967
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 4: may take that, why that may take time.

968
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 14: Well, you were citing eighteen USC. One thousand and one.

969
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 15: You can't when you're under oath and testifying from the Congress,

970
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 15: you can't lie.

971
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 14: Clear John Brennan did.

972
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 15: Based on what Tulsa Gabbard released last summer from a

973
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 15: declassified report from the House Intelligence Committee, there's actually questions

974
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 15: about the dossier. John Brennon said he wasn't involved, and

975
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 15: of course we have the d classified report that says

976
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 15: he was. So that's what we're referred to the Justice

977
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 15: Department for. It's up to them whether they move forward

978
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 15: with the prosecution or not. We think it's clear. We

979
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 15: laid out all those facts in our referral letter to

980
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 15: Attorney General Bondy, So we'll see.

981
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 14: But it's in the end, it's the Justice Department's call.

982
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 4: Because here's what's frustrating, and I know people know this.

983
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 4: James Coley was the perfect example. It depends on the

984
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 4: venue where it happens. A judge then tosses it, and

985
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 4: no matter what Pam Bondi or the Justice Department is

986
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 4: lined up to do, there may be an activist judge

987
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 4: that the usurps or right, and so they have to

988
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 4: be what very buttoned up, almost so ironclad that no

989
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 4: judge can find fault.

990
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's got to be tight, particularly as you said,

991
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 15: when you're in certain jurisdictions with call me in with

992
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 15: Letitia James. In the Eastern District of Virginia, there was

993
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 15: it was it didn't move forward.

994
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 4: Does everything that happens prosecutorially in terms of Brennan and others,

995
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 4: does it all have to happen in DC?

996
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 14: It probably would with Brennan.

997
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 15: Some of the if you go back to what Jack

998
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 15: Smith was doing, some of those were brought in in

999
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 15: the Southern District of Florida because of the raid on

1000
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 15: the whole MAMAR and.

1001
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 14: That and not a whole classified document.

1002
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 15: So the venue depends on where there's there's got to

1003
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 15: be a nexus to what what actually your leging took place.

1004
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 15: But with Brendan would probably here in DC because he

1005
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 15: liked to congress here in DC.

1006
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 4: The fraud that's been uncovered in Minneapolis stunning tip of

1007
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 4: the iceberg.

1008
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 5: Plenty more, you think.

1009
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 14: I think there is more.

1010
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 15: What happened up there was just old fashioned you know,

1011
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 15: I take this this program feeding our future. They were

1012
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 15: supposed to be helping kids during COVID get meals. The

1013
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 15: only problem was there were no meals and no kids.

1014
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 15: They were just stuffing the money in their pockets. And

1015
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 15: it looks like the political leaders and the elected leaders

1016
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 15: in many Many Minnesota were not only just kind of

1017
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 15: letting it happen, they were almost assisting in it for

1018
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 15: political reasons because most of the I think there's like

1019
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 15: eighty some people who've been indicted in like ninety percent

1020
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 15: of that number are from the Somali community, and there

1021
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 15: was there was political concerns. So yeah, this is this

1022
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 15: is pretty big, and we're we're looking into this one

1023
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 15: as well.

1024
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 4: I know you've got to run, so I'll ask you

1025
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 4: quickly as we head toward the fall, and everyone it's

1026
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 4: just a fay to complete. People assume the party in

1027
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 4: power loses. Do you think that's the storyline? It has

1028
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 4: to be that way, and what will change that dynamic

1029
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 4: if that's the trajectory right now?

1030
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 15: President Trump's you know, totally changed politics, totally change politics

1031
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 15: in the last decade, and I think him getting out

1032
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,959
Speaker 15: and helping turn out Trump voters. Member Susie Waller said,

1033
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 15: President Trump's going to campaign like he's on the ticket,

1034
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 15: like he's at the top of the ticket. So I

1035
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 15: think that happens, and I think it's critical to remind

1036
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 15: the voters. As I said before, every position the left

1037
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 15: takes is crazy. Crazy to defund the police, crazy to

1038
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 15: say you want to abolish ize, crazy not to have

1039
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 15: a border like we had under Biden, Crazy to say

1040
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 15: men she compete against women in sports.

1041
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 14: Crazy to say.

1042
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 15: I don't know, you can just name it, crazy sanctuary

1043
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 15: city policy, to not work with federal lot like you

1044
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 15: just go down the list and remind voters if you

1045
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 15: put Democrats back in charge, those are the policies that

1046
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 15: are going to be pushing.

1047
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 4: The biggest thing you think could come out of Congress, BEFO,

1048
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 4: you're done before this fall. Anything in particular you think

1049
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 4: might be meaty, weighty, hefty.

1050
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 14: That could well, I'm hoping the Save Act. There's another

1051
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 14: one crazy.

1052
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 15: I'm hoping we get the Save Act through and or

1053
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 15: the Sanctuary of City bills that we're working on our committy.

1054
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 4: A lot of people ask me about Save Act. So Congressman,

1055
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 4: thanks for your time, Toda, I appreciate it, sir. Hey,

1056
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 4: everybody's trying to save money where they can. If you

1057
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 4: buy your own health insurance or if you're on Obamacare,

1058
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 4: you know how expensive those premiums are getting. It's why

1059
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 4: I've sent my own parents, my personal friends, and my

1060
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 4: colleagues to John Ruhlman and his team at US medical

1061
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 4: Plan dot com. John works with one hundred different private

1062
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 4: health insurance companies across the country to find you the

1063
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 4: very best coverage at the very best rates. My own

1064
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 4: parents saved four hundred dollars a month each on their

1065
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 4: Medicare supplemental health insurance premiums reaching out to John Roulman

1066
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 4: and US Medical Plan dot Com. I have a friend

1067
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 4: in between jobs. She reached out to US Medical Plan

1068
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 4: to replace her Cobra insurance rates. Saved six hundred dollars

1069
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 4: a month. A personal friend who buys his own families

1070
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 4: health insurance out of pocket. I send him to on

1071
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 4: and now he's saving one thousand dollars a month. Listen, folks,

1072
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 4: this is one of the easiest ways to save appreciable

1073
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 4: money every month without sacrificing coverage. But you're not going

1074
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 4: to know unless you reach out right now and have

1075
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,719

Speaker 4: This is a big night. It's crowded night here on

1079
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 4: Capitol Hill. A lot of constituents from various offices are

1080
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 4: here in attendance, people highlighting the different stories. It's been interesting.

1081
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 4: We've talked to everybody from political prisoners to constituents who

1082
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 4: own small businesses and how their employees' wages have been

1083
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 4: impacted with the legislation of the big beautiful bill. How

1084
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 4: about you and your district and your time here so far,

00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 16: First of all, I think it's gonna be a long speech. Yeah,

1087
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 16: gear up and get ready.

1088
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 9: There's so much time about it.

1089
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 16: Think about when have you ever seen a president more

1090
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 16: active in a single year, especially the first year, than

1091
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 16: President Trump. This year, he's been crazy. I mean every

1092
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 16: day executive orders massively impacting the economy, our ability to

1093
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 16: obtain resources abroad, a competitiveness against other countries, tariffs, you

1094
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 16: name it. I mean, just think about all the things

1095
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 16: that have been done by executive orders. If you look

1096
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 16: at the basics and what I call the elementary items

1097
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 16: of America, the American dream being able to have a business,

1098
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 16: a locked in interest rate or locked in taxation rate

1099
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 16: R and D guaranteed with deductable rate. Making sure that

1100
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 16: people who have families have child credits, making sure that

1101
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 16: elderly has some advantages. We still have a long ways

1102
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 16: to go, but that's the American dream. The b portion,

1103
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 16: the border secured. Imagine that we didn't even change the law.

1104
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 16: It was already secured. It wasn't necessary, but look what

1105
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 16: we did. Everybody wanted that done. Now you can talk

1106
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 16: about the other immigration stuff a little more controversial. We've

1107
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 16: got some things iron out there, but border security, the

1108
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 16: border was so important.

1109
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 9: Crime see decreasing crime.

1110
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 16: Everybody wants to feel safe, supporting police, not defunding them.

1111
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 16: That's an important thing d deficit debt. We're finally bending

1112
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 16: the curve. Terifts are part of that, but also controlling spending.

1113
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 16: Having a budget that passed, the big beautiful bill where

1114
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 16: we're actually locked in spending, we actually decreased some waste.

1115
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 9: We still have tons of wasteful spending. Let's face it.

1116
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 16: The majority of our spending is manage toory spending as

1117
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 16: they call It's not manatory, trust me in Congress, but

1118
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 16: it's non discretionary. We need to address that. We're gonna

1119
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 16: have to have some real solutions in the future. Everybody

1120
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 16: looks at it's a third rail because like they're pushing

1121
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 16: Grandma on the cliff.

1122
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 9: It's not true.

1123
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 16: Last time Congress addressed this, we did it. Nobody lost

1124
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 16: their job. We understand people are living longer. We got

1125
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 16: to do some.

1126
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:37,240
Speaker 9: Things to adjust.

1127
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:42,879
Speaker 16: And then lastly, energy E energy is more affordable now

1128
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 16: it's going to help with inflation already has we reached

1129
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 16: an all time high around nine percent.

1130
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 9: Now we're down to around two percent.

1131
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 16: Again, real inflation of wages is happening, so we're outpacing

1132
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 16: inflationary costs by wages. That's a really good trend to have.

1133
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 16: We have more jobs. You force the minimum wage up

1134
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 16: naturally than artificially. You actually have competition and up with mobility.

1135
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 16: I want to see the President focus on those things.

1136
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 16: My district is no different than anybody else, only a

1137
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 16: little more successful. We have the wealthiest Republican district in

1138
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 16: America by median income.

1139
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 9: What does that mean? Why Georgia.

1140
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 16: Gosh, we have all these industries, all these executives, all

1141
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 16: these people who are.

1142
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 9: Small businesses, small businesses.

1143
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 16: Everywhere because we have a friendly environment in Georgia. We

1144
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 16: believe in the power of one. The ultimate minority is

1145
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 16: the individual. That's what the Constitution was always designed to protect.

1146
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 16: That everybody has the right to succeed. That you have

1147
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 16: your inabilable rights that are protected by the government. Nothing else, lads.

1148
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 16: After that, it's all regulation and burden. The government's not

1149
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 16: supposed to be your burden. It's supposed to be your benefactor.

1150
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 16: Because you are so successful, you.

1151
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 4: Have a storied career and resume in the military. And

1152
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 4: I'm curious to know as we talk about this Secretary

1153
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 4: of War as he's now known Pete Hegsith, and I

1154
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 4: don't think I've talked to you since the new standard

1155
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 4: were rolled out and implemented.

1156
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 5: Everyone from top to bottom leadership.

1157
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 4: All the way down to the first first man enlisted

1158
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 4: has to be able to meet certain physical fitness standards.

1159
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 5: I suspect you probably could today. You look fit, you

1160
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 5: look like you could, but.

1161
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 4: It it costs a lot of consternation for people that

1162
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 4: frankly are a little thicker around the middle like me.

1163
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 16: Do you agree with that? First of all, I love

1164
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 16: this up. You're the one who's asked me this question.

1165
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 15: Love.

1166
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,479
Speaker 9: I was in the military for over twenty years.

1167
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 16: In my entire career, I always had a perfect physical

1168
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 16: fitness test because I rise to the I want to

1169
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 16: be as good as possible.

1170
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 9: I don't want anybody out perform me. Not everybody's like that.

1171
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 11: I get that.

1172
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 16: But you know what your kids will do when you

1173
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 16: expect more, they'll do more. Kids with the greatest expectations

1174
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 16: are the most successful. Not the best test scores, not

1175
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 16: the best grades. But those you expect the most from

1176
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 16: are the most successful. That's a truism. We've done studies

1177
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 16: on this. We've done medical studies, healthcare studies. If you

1178
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 16: expect more, I guess what if you give it? If

1179
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 16: you get up a kid a paper's due in two weeks,

1180
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 16: they'll get it in two weeks. If you say one week,

1181
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 16: they'll get it in a week. You rise to the occasion.

1182
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 16: People in the military want to challenge. You know why

1183
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 16: the Marine Corps is the only service that made its

1184
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 16: recruiting standards when everybody else is failing. Because we have

1185
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 16: a challenge to give to you. You earn the egoglo

1186
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 16: of an anchor leads. There's there's nobody who has more.

1187
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 16: There's more Marine Corps stickers in the back of cars

1188
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 16: than all the other services combined. Why, because you have

1189
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 16: to earn it, we want to challenge. You don't join

1190
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 16: because you're gonna get some college money. Maybe you do,

1191
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,359
Speaker 16: but that's not the real reason. You want to be

1192
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 16: challenged in life. That is your driving force. When I

1193
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 16: give you money, it doesn't make you better, It doesn't

1194
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,479
Speaker 16: make you feel more valuable, It doesn't make you feel

1195
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 16: better about life. Everybody thinks they need to make about

1196
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 16: forty percent more than they already make.

1197
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 9: That's a truism.

1198
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 16: You get valued by what you earn, and if you

1199
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 16: earn something in the military, including your standards, your physical standards,

1200
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 16: either you belong in the military you don't either you

1201
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 16: can get better or you can't. And you can't get

1202
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 16: better and you're not good enough. Get out because we

1203
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 16: have a mission to accomplish. And I'll tell you. I

1204
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 16: just heke sas challenge fifty pull ups and a hundreds

1205
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 16: push ups in ten minutes. I challenged him to a

1206
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 16: double hag set in ten minutes. He declined, so.

1207
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 9: I came up. I came up with my own little

1208
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 9: McCormick minute.

1209
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 16: Twenty five pull ups good form, not those hagg sith

1210
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 16: half pull ups. He's an army guy. I gotta get

1211
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 16: him hard time. I love him, Actually, I love the secretary.

1212
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 16: He's he's a great guy. I actually I give him

1213
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 16: a hard time. But twenty five pull ups good form,

1214
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 16: and twenty five clap pull ups push ups, So you

1215
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 16: can't criticize my form, right, Either I clapped or I didn't.

1216
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 9: Either my hands touched in the air or they didn't.

1217
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 16: Twenty five and twenty five in one minute. That's smoking.

1218
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 9: So let's go.

1219
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 16: I mean, you can do it. I can do it now.

1220
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 16: I'm not as good as runners I used to be.

1221
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 16: I used to be a really good runner. My niece

1222
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 16: is starting to go a little bit, I'm a rugby guy,

1223
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 16: just retired from rugby last year.

1224
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 9: But if we don't challenge ourselves, you'll not go to

1225
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:55,760
Speaker 9: the gym.

1226
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 5: So it is when you talk about these military leaders.

1227
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 4: I mean I read in the Wall Street Journal and

1228
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 4: other places they said, oh, how dare he almost this

1229
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 4: sort of ease, this young whipper snapper coming in and

1230
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 4: talking to these esteemed leaders who have been in service

1231
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 4: for a very long time and highly decorated, and how

1232
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 4: dare he was sort of the tone. And I found

1233
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 4: that kind of amazing because I think, like you said,

1234
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 4: most people who serve, no matter how long they've served,

1235
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 4: they respect the institution enough to want to be challenged

1236
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 4: and kept tip top.

1237
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,439
Speaker 16: When General Koolett came in, and I remember Al Gray

1238
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 16: was before him, and he said, I don't care if

1239
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 16: you meet the standers.

1240
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,720
Speaker 9: If you don't look in the uniform, you know, I'm.

1241
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 16: Putting you on a remedial PT because there's a picture

1242
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 16: of reservist we looked horrible, slovenly and fat. He's like,

1243
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,919
Speaker 16: I don't want that representing Rine Corps. You don't want

1244
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 16: that representing Rine Corps. We want to be held to

1245
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 16: a saying I want you to be proud of this organization.

1246
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 16: I want you to know that when you go to war,

1247
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 16: that guy can march just like you and go to

1248
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 16: battle fulfill the mission.

1249
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 9: That's super important.

1250
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 16: People are like, oh, what about people who bring something

1251
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 16: else to the table?

1252
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 9: Okay, fine, if.

1253
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 16: I bet you, I can find when the fit don't

1254
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 16: demean our society. We have not expected enough from our

1255
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 16: society and that's why we are faltering. The fact that

1256
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 16: we're gonna need to coddle our children has not done

1257
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 16: as any favors we become soft. And the fact that

1258
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:13,439
Speaker 16: the Secretary of War is preparing us for war. This

1259
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 16: is not going to be a war of war of words.

1260
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 16: This is gonna be physical upon physical. This is where

1261
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 16: the hardened people of our society will fight for everybody else.

1262
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 9: You want warriors, not pacifists.

1263
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 5: What do you know about the ranks these days?

1264
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 4: I hear that in every division, across all branches, they're

1265
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 4: all up.

1266
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 5: Recruitment is up.

1267
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 16: True, we are for the first time since Biden's out, TRUMP'SAI.

1268
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 9: You cannot deny there's a massive shift in the way we.

1269
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 16: Look at the military. I had two sons that we're

1270
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 16: gonna go into the Marine Corps. Trump losses election. They

1271
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 16: both opted not to. Now they're in great relationship. Now

1272
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 16: I'm not sure it would be a good thing for them,

1273
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 16: because once you're in a long term relationship, it's very

1274
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 16: hard on the relationship. Trust me, I would know better

1275
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 16: than most people. But there's a dramatic shift in American society.

1276
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 16: Our patriotism has returned. Our nationalism in a good way

1277
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 16: has returned. People feel like you've actually achieved something based

1278
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 16: on meritocracy, not based on the color of your skin,

1279
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 16: not based on your gender or your affiliation. That you

1280
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 16: and I are brothers. It doesn't matter if you're black, white,

1281
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 16: or whatever. I'm student by president of more House School Medicine.

1282
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 16: Why would six per cent female, eight percent black, ninety

1283
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 16: five liberal elect a white male conservative student by president

1284
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 16: go I believe in people. If we're in the Marine

1285
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 16: Corps together, we have shades of green, we all bleed red.

1286
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 16: That's what matters is you got my back, I got

1287
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 16: your back. We're a family. We eat together, we pray together,

1288
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 16: we live together. When you haven't a bad day, to

1289
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 16: encourage you. That's all that matters. That's what people want

1290
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 16: in the military. They do not give a rats you

1291
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 16: know what about anything else? And you know why because

1292
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 16: ultimately they just want to know somebody's on your side

1293
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 16: and you want to see a leading organization in integration.

1294
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 9: You don't need DEI in.

1295
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 16: The military because I believe if you're good, I want

1296
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 16: you on my team, and if you're bad, I really don't.

1297
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 4: So, as somebody who's keyed in on our military readiness today,

1298
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 4: where do you think things stand as we talk about

1299
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 4: perhaps entering conflict maybe with Iran? Don't know yet, some

1300
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 4: people suggest it sounds likely China. It was interesting AOC,

1301
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 4: your colleague in the Congress, was asked about about what

1302
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 4: to do if China moves on Taiwan.

1303
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 9: Crickets.

1304
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 5: Stutters didn't really know what to say about that.

1305
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 16: How the heck does she get a speaking engagement as

1306
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 16: something she's never been to.

1307
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 5: You should have gotten that call, Eiver.

1308
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 16: So I've been to the Munich Security Council. By the way,

1309
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 16: we didn't get to go because the Senate didn't do

1310
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 16: what they did.

1311
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 9: We got defunded.

1312
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 16: We're supposed to go to there, and then following at

1313
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 16: NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

1314
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 9: In Brussels, we didn't get to go together.

1315
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 16: I didn't get to do my job because the SENN

1316
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 16: wouldn't pass a degam bill. But you know who had

1317
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 16: to go AOC and speak for us? How does she

1318
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 16: get that invite? I want to know, the world should

1319
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 16: be ashamed. She has no policy expertise. She's not a

1320
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 16: foreign foreign area expert, she has no policy experience, and

1321
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 16: it showed she was talking gibberous. It's not that I

1322
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 16: think she's an evil person, but obviously not educated on that.

1323
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 9: But they invite her to speak anyways.

1324
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 16: Why because this is about idealism rather than pragmatism. This

1325
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 16: isn't about solutions, This is about an issue. They always

1326
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 16: center on an issue rather than this solution. And that's

1327
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 16: the problem with the liberals. They promised to be Santa Claus,

1328
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 16: give you everything your wilder streams could imagine, but they

1329
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 16: don't have real solutions. This is based on socialism which

1330
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 16: has never worked. And when they call us Nazis, nazis

1331
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 16: Is nationalists socialists, I am far from it, my friend.

1332
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 16: I don't think a government's solution they do. This is

1333
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 16: where the ends of that political spectrum are way off track.

1334
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 9: The government's not the solution.

1335
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 5: I'll ask you.

1336
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 4: Then, the same question that was posed to her, What

1337
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 4: do we do if China moves on Taiwan.

1338
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 16: Well, first of all, we need to be proactive. They

1339
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 16: need to be a porcupine take it from marine and

1340
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 16: favous assults are not easy, especially on that large scale.

1341
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 16: China's never fought a war. For anybody who's alive right now,

1342
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 16: think about that. They didn't do anything in World War Two.

1343
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 16: They're dominated by Japan. By the way, the reason they

1344
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 16: were dominated by Japan is because they became an isolationists.

1345
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 16: After being the leading nation in the world in the

1346
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 16: fifteenth century, circumnavigating the world before Magellan, having more technology

1347
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 16: well trade than anybody else in the world. Then they

1348
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 16: became isolationists, became obscure. That's why I say United States,

1349
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 16: please be careful, don't become isolationists.

1350
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 9: But now they're making a move.

1351
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 16: They want to sert their influence and actually they want

1352
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 16: to take over Taiwan as a territory, just.

1353
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 9: Like theyd with Hong Kong.

1354
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 16: The problem is Taiwan produces ninety percent of the advanced

1355
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 16: AI chips in the world.

1356
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 9: We're not gonna get around that.

1357
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 16: They need to be supplied with all the javelins, all

1358
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 16: the stingers, all the smart minds that they can have,

1359
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 16: so that they don't get a taken over regionally. We

1360
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 16: need to have a backup plan for if they do

1361
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 16: get taken over. We need to make sure that they

1362
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 16: are up. In the end, they become more nationalistic that

1363
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,919
Speaker 16: last election said. So they actually increased their conscription, which

1364
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 16: is only eighteen months time. You can't learn eighteen months anything. Now,

1365
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 16: it's up to you. It's still not known, but they

1366
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 16: need to. They're begging us to sell us weapons. We

1367
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 16: need to make it as friendly an environment for them

1368
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 16: to grow as a nation that can defend itself. And

1369
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 16: by the way, I want to cause it. Take note,

1370
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 16: Taiwan's not recognized as a nation by almost anybody in

1371
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 16: the world, but yet they're very wealthy. Why because they

1372
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 16: focus on industry, not terrorism.

1373
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 9: You don't have to be.

1374
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 16: Recognized as a nation to be successful. You have to

1375
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 16: have a plan to produce things, something other than terrorism.

1376
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 4: This president is not hard charging into war, despite what

1377
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 4: some claim or criticize him. Yeah, just the Opposite's right.

1378
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 4: But Iran may become a situation.

1379
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 5: What of that? What do we make of it?

1380
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 9: I love this topic so it is a topic. We

1381
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 9: can't avoid it, whether we like it or not.

1382
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 16: We are inextricably linked to Israel, whether you like them

1383
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 16: or not. We are the big Satan. They are the

1384
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 16: little Satan. Tehran will not stop until we are are destroyed.

1385
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 16: They support the people who would take out our towers,

1386
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 16: kill military people, their weapons systems, their drones have killed

1387
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 16: Georgians national guardsmen over in the Middle East. They're the

1388
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 16: ones supporting by billions of ours, Huthis Hamas hes beloved.

1389
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 9: They are the most evil.

1390
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 16: Regime that exists in the world right now, funding terrorism

1391
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 16: all the world, including in the Western Hemisphere, including in Venezuela,

1392
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 16: including in Cuba. They export terrorism every where they go,

1393
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 16: and they want us to be destroyed.

1394
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:33,479
Speaker 9: They will not tell us the truth.

1395
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 7: They will not.

1396
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 9: Negotiate in good faith. They need to go.

1397
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 16: There's no compromise with a society, an autocratic theocracy, that

1398
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 16: thinks that it's justified to lie, cheat and steal and

1399
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 16: kill against infidels. They are not going to tell us

1400
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 16: anything that's truthful because it's allowed in their religion. They're

1401
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 16: allowed by religion to lie to us and to kill us,

1402
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 16: and is considered moral. That regime needs to be toppled,

1403
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 16: and you will instantly be better off for it. The

1404
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 16: entire world, that region, the United States is real. Everybody

1405
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 16: will be better off when they are top.

1406
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 4: And so when critics say that's a regime change war,

1407
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 4: that is something your President Trump said, we wouldn't do.

1408
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 4: People like Toulsa gabbarder against it. It would turn into

1409
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 4: a vacuum like Iraq and Afghanistan.

1410
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 9: You say, I say, look at who you're dealing with.

1411
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 16: The people are rising up and dying by the tens

1412
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 16: of thousands, like every other free loving society wanted to.

1413
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 9: They want to be free, They want to self determined.

1414
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 16: These are people that want what we want, the universal

1415
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 16: things that we guaranteed our citizens by the Constitution of life, liberty,

1416
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 16: and the pursuit of happiness. If you read bost Yacht,

1417
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 16: the law, life, liberty, and the ownership of property, things

1418
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 16: that are fundamentally instrumental to suggest all human beings. They

1419
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 16: want those things just like we do. You can't squell

1420
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 16: set that is in our DNA when we're born. You

1421
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 16: want to self determined, you want happiness, you want peace.

1422
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 16: They will never have it under this regime. And if

1423
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 16: you think about it. If you don't pay me now,

1424
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 16: you'll pay me later. They're diamond of the tens of thousand.

1425
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 9: This is the time.

1426
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 16: Doesn't mean you need boots on the ground. It doesn't

1427
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 16: mean we need to determine the next government. But allow

1428
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 16: them to self determine. I think you'll see a massive

1429
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 16: change in their government. The Persians that are abroad all

1430
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 16: over the world right now, that want that, that understand

1431
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 16: what they came from, when they had a free society,

1432
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 16: when they had a more Americanized, a more worldly view,

1433
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 16: and more a less religious view where you could actually

1434
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 16: have the ability to make your own determination.

1435
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 9: That's all they want.

1436
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 16: And I think that every American can relate to that.

1437
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 16: And you don't have to waste a bunch of American.

1438
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 9: Lives for that.

1439
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 16: By the way, all you have to do is is

1440
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 16: make sure you sanctions never go away, and that we

1441
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 16: supply the good guys with weapons and cut off the

1442
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 16: bad guys from disseminating theirs. And I think you'll and

1443
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 16: maybe a well placed bomb here or there that they

1444
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 16: can't stop us from.

1445
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 9: And they know it, but we should topple them.

1446
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 4: Congressman, it is good to see you again and now

1447
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 4: I know the fitness test.

1448
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 5: Don't mess around because you can do it. You can

1449
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 5: still do it all right, good to meet you.

1450
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 9: See you again, not meet you, but see my pleas.

1451
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 5: And come back and see us. I hope you will.

1452
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 4: Hey, there, it's Chris back on the phone with my

1453
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 4: dentist and friend, Bob Spinato at Williamsburg Denteal in Broomall, Pennsylvania,

1454
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 4: just off the Blue Route. With new technology, you have

1455
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 4: not just new associates, but they brought new technology into

1456
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 4: the business to make it a little easier for patients.

1457
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's a very exciting time in dentistry. We have

1458
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 17: now introduced a three dimensional X ray called a cbct

1459
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 17: can in our office which allows us to diagnose and

1460
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 17: things earlier for patients. My daughter is placing a lot

1461
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 17: of implants in the past that referred out as now

1462
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 17: being done in house. And we also we've been using

1463
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 17: dental or computer scanners who are taking impressions for crowns

1464
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 17: for about the last two to three years. We now

1465
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 17: have introduced the next step, which is a milling machine

1466
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 17: and anything now make crowns in the office. Things can

1467
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 17: be completed in the same day as opposed to having

1468
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 17: a temper crown put on in three weeks later, coming

1469
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 17: back and having a perman crown put on. If it's

1470
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 17: really a game changer and it's a time saver for

1471
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 17: our patients, have to make multiple visits to the office.

1472
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 4: Pick up the phone or go online, make that appointment

1473
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 4: six one oh three, five three, twenty seven hundred or

1474
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 4: Williamsburg dash Dental dot com. In his new movie The

1475
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 4: Dragons Prophecy, Danish Dasuza brings the new Middle East into focus.

1476
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 13: Could the fate of the world of humanity itself be

1477
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 13: somehow tied to this place?

1478
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 9: But long last, we have peace in the Middle East.

1479
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 3: Israel and Christians are coming together in a way they

1480
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 3: have never been before.

1481
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 9: But is this the end of Humus and radical Islam?

1482
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 8: The Dragon's Prophecy is powerful, prophetic, a must see movie

1483
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 8: now they have on Amazon YouTube and it.

1484
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 4: Ites Congressman Mark Harris. Great to meet you, sir, from

1485
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 4: North Carolina.

1486
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, great to meet you.

1487
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 4: I understand you are an active pastor. You you pastor

1488
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:53,959
Speaker 4: at church?

1489
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 7: I do, I do, I still preach and every.

1490
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 4: Week you're the only one I would guess in Congress

1491
01:06:58,720 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 4: that does that.

1492
01:06:59,480 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 7: Well.

1493
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 18: I think Senator from Georgia. Also, so pastors this church

1494
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 18: in Atlanta, Raphael or not.

1495
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 4: So you'd be the only two preachers in Congress actively

1496
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 4: that may.

1497
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 7: Very well be active at the present time.

1498
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 4: Do you think about that when you go home and

1499
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 4: go to the pulpit? Do you think about your work here?

1500
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 4: Are they one and the same or are they distinctly different?

1501
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 18: I think in so many ways they are one and

1502
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 18: the same in the sense that you know, for me,

1503
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 18: as a believer and a follower of Christ, I live

1504
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 18: out my life every day in Him. So whether I

1505
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 18: am delivering His word through preaching and pastoring and sharing,

1506
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 18: or whether I am trying to stand for the principles

1507
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 18: of truth here in the halls of Congress. I think

1508
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 18: the person that you are is always going to be

1509
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 18: that person. And we don't separate ourselves into various categories.

1510
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 18: So I would say that it's all in so many

1511
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 18: ways together.

1512
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 4: I imagine you, like me and any one of us

1513
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 4: that attend regular worship service in our believers deeply disturbed

1514
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 4: at the scene we saw up in Minnesota led by

1515
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 4: Don Lemon and the rabble that went storming into an

1516
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 4: active church service. Every church I suspect that Sirius was

1517
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 4: thinking about themselves and wondering how would we handle such

1518
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 4: a thing?

1519
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 5: How about you?

1520
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 7: I most certainly did.

1521
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,560
Speaker 18: In fact, when we had an opportunity in the Judiciary

1522
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,679
Speaker 18: Committee to at a hearing with the Attorney General, Pam Bondi,

1523
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 18: that was the very issue that I chose to talk

1524
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 18: to her about, was, you know, the fact that we

1525
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:43,600
Speaker 18: had uninvited invasion of a church service that disrupted it.

1526
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 18: And I was certainly grateful to hear that the Justice

1527
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 18: Department is moving forward with charges against those that would

1528
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 18: disrupted that is a crime.

1529
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 7: You are not able to violate people's.

1530
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 18: First Amendment rights of worship and freedom of speech, and

1531
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:03,919
Speaker 18: they're in that setting. So it was disturbing and quite frankly,

1532
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 18: when you see the way it was played out, it

1533
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 18: was even more disturbing. Things that we didn't see that

1534
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 18: we would only hear about, for children being separated from

1535
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 18: their parents, children that were freaking out thinking that their

1536
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 18: parents were about to be executed or killed in some way.

1537
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 18: People screaming at people as they invaded that church. So

1538
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 18: it is something that is just unacceptable and I think

1539
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,759
Speaker 18: that it's going to be very important for the law

1540
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,440
Speaker 18: to be brought to bear on these folks.

1541
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,759
Speaker 4: Very rare that a man of the cloth runs for

1542
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 4: an office like Congress anyway, maybe they're the mayor or

1543
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 4: the local city council person or school district school board member,

1544
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 4: but to be in Congress. There aren't many of you

1545
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 4: that do this, and so often I think they are

1546
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 4: seen as distinctly different roles, where Congress is considered something

1547
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:59,640
Speaker 4: other and certainly not wholly. I guess you're mindful of

1548
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 4: that critic that probably keeps you in check.

1549
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 5: But why did you decide to do it?

1550
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 4: And what would you say to clergy who maybe are

1551
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 4: circumspect about getting involved in politics or try very hard

1552
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 4: to never speak of politics.

1553
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 5: What of that? What's the role?

1554
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 18: Well, I would say, first of all, there are a

1555
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 18: lot of folks that are here in Congress that are

1556
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 18: very godly men and women who love the Lord, love

1557
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 18: their families, love their communities, and believe in this nation,

1558
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 18: and believe in the founding of this nation on godly principles,

1559
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 18: and that they very much are here to live out

1560
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 18: their faith day in and day out. So I find

1561
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 18: a large number of those folks that I've encountered since.

1562
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 7: I've been here. I'm in my first term.

1563
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 18: As a freshman congressman, and their Bible studies that are

1564
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 18: going on across this Capitol Hill almost every day of

1565
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 18: the week. I could be in a different Bible study.

1566
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 18: I'm a part of a Bible study on Wednesday mornings

1567
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 18: actually where I live, and so there's a lot of

1568
01:10:56,320 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 18: godly folks that are engaged here. But I think you know,

1569
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 18: to pastors I have said for years and i've passor

1570
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 18: for thirty seven years now, I have said to pastors,

1571
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 18: You've got to be true to God's word every day,

1572
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 18: not only when you proclaim it in the pulpit, but

1573
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 18: as you live it out each and every day.

1574
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 7: And we can't pick.

1575
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 18: And choose things out of scripture that we somehow want

1576
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:26,200
Speaker 18: to skip over the hard things.

1577
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:28,640
Speaker 7: I mean, the scripture speaks on life.

1578
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 18: That was one reason I got in on this issue

1579
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 18: is because I see God as the creator and the

1580
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 18: giver of life.

1581
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 7: And I'm very pro life individual.

1582
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 18: I got involved here quite frankly, to run for office

1583
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,839
Speaker 18: because there was an issue on marriage that was happening

1584
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 18: in our state of North Carolina back in twenty eleven.

1585
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 18: In twenty twelve, and I became very engaged as a

1586
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 18: pastor at First Baptist Church of Charlotte and President of

1587
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 18: the North Carolina Baptist ty Can mentioned in trying to

1588
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 18: move a marriage amendment forward that did pass that said

1589
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,799
Speaker 18: in North Carolina, a marriage would be defined is between

1590
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 18: a man and a woman. And so again, there are

1591
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 18: things that we do as pastors in bringing leadership to

1592
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 18: the culture in which we live. And you've got to

1593
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 18: be true to the Word. From my point of view,

1594
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 18: each and every day you stand in that pulpit, and

1595
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 18: I think our people in the pew expect that and

1596
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 18: desire that, and so I just think it's a very

1597
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 18: natural thing. You look at people in the Bible, from

1598
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 18: Moses and others, the lawgiver. You walk into the US

1599
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 18: House of Representatives and you look around the top, the Lawgiver,

1600
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 18: Moses is the face that's pointing forward, looking right down

1601
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 18: on that platform where the President of the United States

1602
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:41,799
Speaker 18: tonight will be speaking.

1603
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 4: Do you believe for Christians the persecution Maybe that's too

1604
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 4: strong a word, but certainly the intimidation, the threats that

1605
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 4: we saw the Don Lemon type invasions.

1606
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 5: Do you think those are gonna get worse? And should

1607
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 5: Christians expect that it will.

1608
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,600
Speaker 4: I mean, we have the law, but the anger of

1609
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 4: the venom, this is not new for Christians.

1610
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 5: We can expect it's going to keep coming.

1611
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 18: Oh yeah, And I think we do have the law,

1612
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 18: and that's why we've got to protect our culture. We

1613
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 18: got to protect the constitution. That's the reason I'm a

1614
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 18: part of a Sharia Free Caucus that we want to

1615
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 18: need to protect our nation from Sharia law that is

1616
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,839
Speaker 18: happening in some of our cities and areas around our country.

1617
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 18: And they're dealing with that in Texas right now, even

1618
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 18: as we speak today, people are voting in early voting

1619
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 18: dealing with a proposition that somehow is going to protect

1620
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:39,639
Speaker 18: the citizens of Texas from Sharia law. And so, look,

1621
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,640
Speaker 18: politics is coming to us, whether we go to politics.

1622
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:44,719
Speaker 7: You can think.

1623
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 18: About that as a pastor, and I think that every

1624
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 18: day we're expected to be true.

1625
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 7: To who we are.

1626
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 5: Is this what you thought it would be?

1627
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 18: I have found it to be very encouraging, very rewarding.

1628
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 18: I love what I do. Do i feel like I'm

1629
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 18: where I'm supposed to be. Absolutely? Do i feel like

1630
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 18: I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. Absolutely. It

1631
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 18: is a fascinating place where you're able to help people.

1632
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,799
Speaker 18: You're able to help them navigate through the red tape

1633
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 18: of government at a local level, and at the same

1634
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 18: time speak truth to power in this day in which

1635
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 18: we live and try to chart the course for this nation.

1636
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 18: And I would pray that there would be more folks

1637
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 18: that would get engaged and get involved and be willing

1638
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 18: to stand.

1639
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 4: Final question, when you go home and you preach, do

1640
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 4: you leave Capitol Hill? Do you incorporate the dealings of

1641
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 4: Washington and the news of the week because.

1642
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 5: You're in it?

1643
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 4: Do you incorporate that in your messages or you to

1644
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 4: try to keep it aside?

1645
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 18: Well, I was doing that before I got to Washington.

1646
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 18: I was in I always try to incorporate current events

1647
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 18: and the relevance of the message and make that tie

1648
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 18: into application as I'm preaching. So that is just again

1649
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 18: a part of who I am and what I've experienced

1650
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 18: of the week. Sometimes that may come out in a

1651
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 18: message that I'm delivering. I'm always focused on whatever the

1652
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 18: word I preach series through books of the Bible, and

1653
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 18: that's what I've done for thirty seven years and I

1654
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 18: continue to do that. And sometimes what I've dealt with

1655
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 18: that week may fit, sometimes it may not.

1656
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 7: But I'm true to the word first and.

1657
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 4: Foremost careful not to make I mean, And I'm not

1658
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 4: admonishing you. I'm saying you're I'm sure you're careful not

1659
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 4: to make politics or even the GOP absolutely right.

1660
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 18: I mean, I'm the pastor when I'm greeting folks coming

1661
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:28,799
Speaker 18: in the door, I'm the pastor of the church shaking

1662
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 18: hands and greeting folks and welcoming them there. And I'm

1663
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 18: standing as a spiritual leader to deliver thus saith the

1664
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 18: Lord God, and that's what I do.

1665
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 5: I'm inspired by it.

1666
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,759
Speaker 4: I did not know of your work as a pastor,

1667
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 4: and so to hear this fascinates me because it's something

1668
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 4: that in our church we discuss all the time. And

1669
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 4: there's this careful balance, of course, you know, for a

1670
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 4: pastor to not sound too politically active, but to not

1671
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 4: ignore the issues of the day at the same time.

1672
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 18: Well, and if you go back in our history is

1673
01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:01,839
Speaker 18: a country for hundreds of years pastors stood on Sunday

1674
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 18: and they would preach the word, and they would call out.

1675
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 7: Politicians by name.

1676
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,480
Speaker 18: You know, people freak out over this idea of endorsing

1677
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 18: this or endorsing that. Pastors throughout the founding of this

1678
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 18: country and in those first one hundred and seventy five years,

1679
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 18: were very active in calling out politicians and holding them

1680
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 18: true to the principles of the word.

1681
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 4: Well, boy, I'm gonna have to look you up and

1682
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 4: listen to one of these sermons. Maybe I'll go tend

1683
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:26,640
Speaker 4: in person. Pastor help yourself. We'd love to have you.

1684
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 4: God bless you, pleasure to be with you. So that's

1685
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 4: a wrap for another Christa Gall Show podcast. Thanks for

1686
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 4: committing to it listening to it all the way through.

Speaker 4: You're a fighter. I like that about you. Hope you'll

1688
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 4: leave it a five star review and a written review.
