1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: Good morning, Glory and Emmygrace America. I'm Hugh Hewett, proud 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: to welcome back to the UUs Show President Donald Trump. 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 2: Happy New Year, mister Trump. Good to have you back. 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 3: Well, thank you very much, You thank you very much. 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to waste your time. So I'm going 6 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: to dive right in and begin with Iran. Michael Durant 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: at the Hudson Institute says, the regime there is failing. 8 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: They have fuel shortages, electricity shortages, water shortage. Kareem Sajiport 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: Carnegie is posting the videos of the spreading protests. Mark Dubovitz, 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: So this is a quote. If President Trump brings down 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: the Islamic Republic of Iran, he will cement his place 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: as the greatest foreign policy president since Ronald Reagan. 13 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 2: I think it would. 14 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 3: Actually I already did that. 15 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 2: I was just about that with Midnight Hammer. You did that? 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:44,959 Speaker 3: How much? 17 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 4: What can I do? 18 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 3: You know? We just said Venezuela, which has had Midnight Hammer. Yeah, 19 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 3: we settled eight wars. 20 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: Eight in the quarter. 21 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 3: But I'm willing to accept that. I'm willing to accept it. 22 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: What about Iran? Is the aim with Iran? The collapse 23 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: of that awful forty seven year tyranny. 24 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 3: Well, I don't want to say it, but I will 25 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: tell you they're not doing well. As you know, probably 26 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 3: better than anybody. They're doing very poorly. And I have 27 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 3: let them know that if they start killing people, which 28 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 3: they tend to do during their riots they have lots 29 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 3: of riots, if they do it, we're going to hit 30 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 3: them very hard. 31 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 2: Now, dozens have been killed. 32 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: I know you don't do red lines, but if you 33 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: communicate it to them, what that limit of your patience is. 34 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: Well, some have been killed by problems of crowd control 35 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 3: and other things. We're watching it very closely. The crowds 36 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: are so large. It's been a stampede. There's been three 37 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 3: stampedes and people have been killed in that. And I'm 38 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: not sure I can necessarily hold somebody responsible for that. 39 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 3: But they know, and they've been told very strongly, even 40 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 3: more strongly than I'm speaking to you right now, that 41 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 3: if they do that, they're going to have to pay. Hell. 42 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: Do you have a message for the people of Iran? 43 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: President Trump? 44 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: All I can say is you should. You should feel 45 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 3: strongly about freedom. There's nothing like freedom. You're brave people. 46 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 3: It's a shame what's happened to your country? Your country 47 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 3: was a great country. I remember years ago when I 48 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 3: was a young real estate developer. Friends of mine went 49 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 3: to Iran and they did great. They built buildings in Iran. 50 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: They're still up, barely by the way, but they're still up. 51 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 3: I see pictures of them, apartment houses, and they did 52 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: very well in Iran. I ran, they passed away. They 53 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 3: were very successful developers. They were great people, mostly New 54 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: York developers, but they went to Iran and they built 55 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 3: some pretty good jobs in Iran. And I remember they 56 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 3: were saying that people are great. The whole place was great. 57 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: It was a tremendous market. And now you look at it, 58 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 3: Look what's happened. 59 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: I sat in the office of former President Nixon with 60 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: Great Price on a couch with our end watching the 61 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: fall of the shot, and he just kept shaking his head. 62 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: He couldn't believe Jimmy Carter was letting it happen. Would 63 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: you meet with Crown Prince pob Lo pob Lai, who 64 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: is the heir to the constitutional monarchy. 65 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: He doesn't want to rule. 66 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,559 Speaker 1: He would be a symbolic ruler like King Charles. 67 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 3: Well. I've watched him and he seems like a nice person, 68 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 3: but I'm not sure that it would be appropriate at 69 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 3: this point to do that as president. I think that 70 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: we should let everybody go out there and we see 71 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 3: who emerges. I'm not sure necessarily that it would be 72 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 3: an appropriate thing to do. 73 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: Let me switch to China, mister President, last time we talked, 74 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: and now I ask you, is I asked you about 75 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 1: Jimmy Lai, who is dying in real time he's been convicted. 76 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: Have you talked to Jijinping? I know you get along 77 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: with it. 78 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 4: I have. 79 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 3: I have. I talked to him, and I mentioned Jimmy Lae. 80 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 3: I don't know Jimmy Lai. I know of Jimmy Lai, 81 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 3: and he was an activist, to put it mildly by 82 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 3: a positive activist. But if you're a Presidency, he wasn't 83 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: a positive activist. I spoke to Presidency when I was 84 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: in South Korea and we had a great talk about it, 85 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: and I left it with him. He didn't give me 86 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 3: an answer one way or the other. But obviously so 87 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 3: far it hasn't been I got a lot of other 88 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: answers that turned out positive. I haven't heard back on 89 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 3: that one. 90 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: If if Jimmy Lai was free. 91 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: Would you consider that to be a very significant gesture 92 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: by China. 93 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 3: I would. I think it would be a great thing. 94 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 3: I think I told Presidency that he's an old man 95 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 3: who's very sick. I met his son, who was a 96 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 3: very nice young man who loves his father a lot. 97 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 3: His son is the primary person that's working very hard 98 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 3: to get him out, and I felt I owed it 99 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 3: to the son. 100 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 5: I like the son. 101 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 3: I mean, look, I don't know him, but I met 102 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 3: him fairly briefly. But I love that he was fighting 103 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: hard for his father. I thought that was I like 104 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 3: to see sons that fight hard for fathers, and he 105 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: was certainly doing that. And I mentioned it during my 106 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: meeting early on in my meeting as a list of 107 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 3: things that I'd like to talk about, but we have 108 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 3: not heard back on that one. 109 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: All right, let me turn to Cuba, mister president for 110 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: sixty seven years, is that police state dictatorship has sucked 111 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: the lifeblood out of the people of that island. Is 112 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: it time to increase the pressure there, maybe even quarantine 113 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: it as you have Venezuela. 114 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: Well, I don't think you could have much more pressure 115 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 3: other than going in and blasting the hell out of 116 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 3: the place. They are. Their whole life blood, their whole 117 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: life was Venezuela. They got their oil, they got their 118 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 3: money from Venezuela. And as you know, when our great 119 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 3: soldiers went and we had nobody killed, they lost many 120 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 3: Cuban fighters during that battle. Many amazing job that the 121 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 3: American soldiers had led by a man who happens to 122 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 3: be sitting right next to me, General Caine. Ah, what 123 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 3: a job. What a job he did. And Pete Hegseth did, 124 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 3: and the whole group, what a job they all did. 125 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 3: It's amazing. Actually, John Ratcliffe is walking in, Marco Rubio 126 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: is walking in. We have a whole group of people here. 127 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: They're all fans of yours. They're not walking in to 128 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 3: listen to this call. They just happened to be walking 129 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: in for the next meeting. 130 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: I got a little advice for you, mister President. Don't 131 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: play golf and give strokes the director Ratcleft. 132 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 2: Don't do that. Don't give many strokes. 133 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 3: He's a good golfer and he's a very he's a 134 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 3: very good guy too. 135 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: Back to Cuba. 136 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: Uh, Miguel Diez Canal, do you think he could fall 137 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: like Hamani and Iran might fall. 138 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I look, I think that Cuba is 139 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 3: hanging by a thread. Cuba's in big trouble. Look, Cuba 140 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: got all of its money for protecting. They were like 141 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: a protector. They're tough, strong people, they're great people. Marco 142 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 3: has a little Cuban blood in him. I think Marco's 143 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 3: not doing a bad job, right, What do you think? 144 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: Can I ask you one question? How is Marco Rubio doing. 145 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: The equal of any secretary of state in my lifetime? 146 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: And I'm glad he's not taking the Dolphins job. He 147 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: should work for the Browns. 148 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: If he leaves your administration, that's right, all right, he 149 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 3: goes will be successful. But no, I think that I 150 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 3: think that Cuba is really in a lot of trouble. 151 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 3: But you know, people have been saying that for many years, 152 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 3: in all fairness about Cuban. Cuban has been in trouble 153 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: for the last forty five years, and you know they 154 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: haven't quite gone down, but I think they're pretty close 155 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 3: of their own volition. 156 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: I want to try and define the Trump doctrine, mister President. 157 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: I've been trying to do it on the air. It's 158 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: down to this don't kill or threaten Americans or our 159 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: property or American security in general, or we will hit 160 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: you very, very hard. 161 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 3: Is that the same and included in theirs don't send 162 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 3: drugs and don't send things that are going to kill 163 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 3: our people. But you can sort of you can sort 164 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: of make the savment that you've indirectly said that, but 165 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 3: it's a pretty direct savement. Don't send drugs into our country. 166 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: It's a great doctrine. Now the next question.

Generally simum 196 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: always he took his transcription equipment with him. The reason 197 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: we do that is because Dwayne actually knows what we're 198 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: talking about, knows the names, gets the references even if 199 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: they're very quick, and never makes a mistake. So that's 200 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: why he takes his transcription equipment with him to funerals. 201 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: Odd looking guy at the funeral, but it'll be It's 202 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: already posted at my YouTube channel.

We have the 254 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 3: greatest potential economy in history. We have eighteen trillion dollars 255 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 3: coming in. The record is three and that was from many, 256 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 3: many years ago. We have something that just took place 257 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 3: with Venezuela that everybody considered as one of the most 258 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 3: brilliant attacks they've ever seen. And you know, we lost 259 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 3: no people in the middle of a fort. Don't forget 260 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 3: that house was built in the middle of a fort 261 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 3: with thousands of soldiers. They lost quite a few people. 262 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 3: I hate to say that. 263 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: I talked to an active duty and naval officer yesterday 264 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: who's very jealous that they were not there because it 265 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: was such an extraordinary mission our military. 266 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 3: You know what, we had an extraordinary attack a few 267 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 3: months Ago and a place called Iran. We knocked out 268 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 3: the Iran nuclear threat and it was obliterated. And we 269 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 3: also took out Solomoni and we took out Al Baghdaddy. 270 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 3: So we've had some good attacks so far. We haven't 271 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 3: had the Afghanistan disaster. That was the lowest point I 272 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 3: think in the history of our country, Biden. But if 273 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 3: you look also the Jimmy Carter disaster, that was a 274 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: disaster with the hostages. And you know, when we. 275 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 2: Were very democratic president, a disaster. 276 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 3: Two planes. I said, I hope it's not a Jimmy 277 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 3: Carter deal. 278 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden. They've all been disasters in national security. 279 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,599 Speaker 1: Let me ask you about it. 280 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: I haven't had I haven't had any disaster. 281 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: Yet, and I hope it stays that way. 282 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 3: I hope the word yet is going to disappear. 283 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we got to talk about the Golden Fleet 284 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: because this is important. I want to take my hat 285 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: off to you on the Golden Fleet. We need guided 286 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: missile frigates and attack submarines and the Columbia class. 287 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 2: And the worst way is there going to be. 288 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: Enough money in the budget to get everything built that 289 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: we need, including new shipyards. 290 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 3: Well, we are going to have plenty of money. And 291 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 3: if you notice what I did yesterday, I told all 292 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: defence companies there's going to be no more buybacks. You're 293 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 3: going to put the money into building new plant and equipment, 294 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 3: and there's going to be no more stock options. And 295 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 3: there's going to be no more salaries of fifty million 296 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 3: dollars a year. You're going to put the money in. 297 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 3: We're going to have it capped at five million dollars 298 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 3: and that's effective immediately, and all that money that they're 299 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 3: sending out is going to have to be and you 300 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: know what, the stock prices went up. The reason is 301 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 3: I also put out a statement, a secondary statement, saying 302 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 3: that next year we expect to have one point five 303 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: trillion in defense budget. And we're also building battleships. You know, 304 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 3: we're building great battleships. They have twenty five on schedule, 305 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 3: but we're going to start with ten and then we'll 306 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: see how that all goes. But we're going to build battleships. 307 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: And you know, I thought, you remember from Victory at Sea. 308 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: You take a look at those great gorgeous ships, the Iowa, 309 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 3: the Alabama, the Missouri, those great ships, and if you see. 310 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking. 311 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, provided I've got lots of missile tubes on it, 312 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm all for them. 313 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 3: The more missile tubes, I'll tell you, the better, I said, 314 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 3: why don't we take some of them out of bath balls. 315 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 3: The new ships will be one hundred times more powerful 316 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 3: than those battleships that we so admired. 317 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: Now I know you're up up upping the construction at 318 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Shipyard and enhancing it capacity. 319 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 3: And numerous others. Yeah, I was wondering, are you going 320 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 3: to build walk into the shipbuilding business? 321 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 5: That is? 322 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: That's the best news. Do people understand how important that 323 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: is to the economy. 324 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 3: I think they know. But the Philadelphia Yard is one 325 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 3: of the yards that's going to be opened up, But 326 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 3: we have numerous yards that are opened up. Some of 327 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: those yards have been built up by housing projects. You know, 328 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: they're all in the water, so they tended to be 329 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 3: in nice locations. But we have many yards opening up, 330 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 3: and we're going to be very much back in the 331 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 3: shipbuilding business, and in some cases we're partnering with South 332 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: Korea and others initially because we have to get you know, 333 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 3: we used to make almost the ship a day during 334 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 3: World War Two, and then we just totally got out 335 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 3: of that business stupidly. But we're back in the shipbuilding business. 336 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: We have to be all right now, I want to 337 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: switch to one of my other favorite topics with the 338 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: image President of the Supreme Court. I know you don't 339 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: expect a retirement in the spring, but if one happens, 340 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: you've appointed sixty Appeals Court judges, would you inspected to 341 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: take either a runner up from last time? I Judge 342 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: cat Lidge or one of your appointees. Judge row is 343 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: fifty three on the DC Circuit. Judge Rushing on the 344 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: fourth is forty three. Judge Strass on the eighth is 345 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: fifty one. A MultiPar is fifty six. Don Willets sixty, 346 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: man you got Senator Cruz was fifty five and he 347 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: got District Court Judge Eileen Can. I think she did 348 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: a good job in the Florida k she's forty five, yeps. 349 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: She did a great job. She's a great judge. 350 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: Yes she did, and she came to the right constitutional 351 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: conclusion about the illegality of the appointment. 352 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 3: Highly respect it. Yeah, So those are all great names. 353 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 3: Every one of those names is a great name. Now 354 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 3: Ted Cruz. The nice one about him is, we get 355 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 3: a one hundred percent approval, every Democrat would vote yes, 356 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 3: and every Republican would vote yes because they would love 357 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 3: to get him the hell out of the Senate, all 358 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: of them, so that he's the only one that would 359 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 3: be a guaranteed confirmation. And he's a smart guy. He's 360 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 3: a good guy. And I say that jokingly, but I 361 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 3: always say Ted would get a one hundred percent approval. 362 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 3: Recrets watermouth, the Republican's watermouth, and he'd do great. And 363 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 3: he's smart. But all of the names that you mentioned 364 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 3: are great names, every one of them normal. 365 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: Who is advising you on judges this term as Leonard 366 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: is not and the Federal Society is not. 367 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 3: Well, I'm using some people actually that you know, i'd 368 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 3: rather tell you are on a personal prcis not on 369 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 3: a phone call. But I have some very good people 370 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 3: that are advising me, people that you know in respect. 371 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 2: Now let's pause it right there. 372 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: I think the rest of the interview will fit into 373 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: the third segment. I'll take phone calls one eight hundred 374 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: and five to two oh one, two three four. You 375 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: can critique my questions. I have a thick skin. You 376 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: can comment on his answers. He doesn't care. One eight 377 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: hundred and five to two oh one two three four. 378 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: I had a call him in the DC Examiner yesterday, 379 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: Washington Examiner. He has had a fabulous first year back. 380 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: I have a column at Fox News today about how 381 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: the Venezuela. 382 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: And operation is just extraordinary. It really is. 383 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: It was absolutely extraordinary, as I said to President Trump, 384 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: but I talked to an active duty naval officer yesterday. 385 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: They're just jealous that they weren't there. Everybody in uniform 386 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 2: wanted to be there. 387 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: That Operation Absolute Resolve is maybe the most exquisite, perfectly 388 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: constructed military operation that I know of for special forces. 389 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: I know Neptune's Spear to get Bin Lauden was the 390 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: same sort of choreographed opera that is unbelievable, but this 391 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: was I think even more complex because there are more 392 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: moving parts. 393 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 2: But more of the interview. 394 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: The rest of the interview coming up in segment three 395 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: of this hour, and then I'll talk to you at 396 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: one eight hundred and five to two one two three four. 397 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 2: Stay tuned in America. I'm Hugh Hewett. Welcome back in America. 398 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: I'm Hugh HEWITTT, thank you for listening to the program today. 399 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: I have talked with President Trump many times, but the 400 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: latest was this morning. And Part three of the conversation 401 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: from this morning is coming up one eight hundred and 402 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: five two OHO one two three four. Most of it 403 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: will fit in part three and then a little bit 404 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: in part four, and I'll take your calls back to 405 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: the interview with President Trump from today. Agenda for this year. 406 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: I know I watched your talk to the Republicans at 407 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: the Trump County Center, and I know you talked about healthcare. 408 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: That would be great, but it would be easier to 409 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: get done if you have bundled it with, for example, 410 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: the Dreamers Act, the AM Radio in Every Car Act, 411 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: Both of those have got super majority. Do you think 412 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: that's the strategy, bundle healthcare with very popular laws, get 413 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: them to the floor and move them. 414 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 3: Well. I think healthcare is so big and so important 415 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 3: that it probably supersedes some slightly less you know, a 416 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 3: very popular thing, but less important. I like the AM 417 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 3: and every car, the AM radio in every car. I 418 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 3: like that. I'm in favor of it. It's interesting. A 419 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 3: lot of people don't know about that, but it's actually 420 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 3: a very big subject. 421 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 2: Huge deal. 422 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 3: The usually we're going to be doing something on that. 423 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 3: All of the things you mentioned I like, but I 424 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 3: think healthcare is so big and so powerful it's really 425 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 3: going to have to stand in his own way. 426 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 2: All right. 427 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 3: So I want, you know, with healthcare, it's pretty simple. 428 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 3: I want because if you take a look, I don't 429 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 3: know if you study insurance companies, but these guys have 430 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 3: made literally trillions of dollars. I want the money to 431 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 3: go directly to the people and let the people buy 432 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 3: their own healthcare, and everybody loves it. 433 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 2: I do too. I think that would be a genius. 434 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: I just think to get Democratic votes you might have 435 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: to put the Dreamers Act in or the Radio Act 436 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: in along with the Democrats. 437 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 3: Is they're totally in bed with the insurance companies. And 438 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 3: what you know, what I'm doing is the exact opposite. 439 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 3: I'm giving the money to the people. They're giving them 440 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 3: money to the insurance companies. It's hard for them to 441 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 3: vote against the insurance companies who have made a fortune 442 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 3: because of the Democrats. 443 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: Now, Miss President, when we have that sit down that 444 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: privately talk about judges, I would like to talk to 445 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: you about Richard Nixon, because I believe your understanding of 446 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: American power projection is very similar to his. And I 447 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: think he also liked to keep people guessing. Some people 448 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: call it the Madman theory. I just thought it was 449 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: strategic sense. Do you think that comparison is apt? 450 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 3: Well, look, I don't know. We're just respected. We're respected 451 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 3: again as a country, and I'm respected, but we're respected. 452 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 3: We had a president who shouldn't have been there. First 453 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 3: of all, it was a rigged election, and that's coming 454 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 3: out loud and clear. But we knew that. I knew 455 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 3: that four years ago. But it was just a rigged, 456 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 3: horrible election. That's where we go. We got a man 457 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 3: that allowed millions of people into our country from jails 458 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 3: and mental institutions and drug dealers, and what a shame 459 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 3: that what Biden was just a horrible president. And you know, 460 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 3: if she would have won, which is the equivalent, if 461 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 3: she would have won, our country would have been right 462 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 3: now Venezuela on sterih disaster. 463 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: A disaster, and Tim Walls would have been the vice 464 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: president instead of Vice President Vance. I can't believe it. 465 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: Let me turn to politics in my last couple of minutes, 466 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: mister President, I want to honor your time. You crush 467 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: the debates in twenty fifteen sixteen. The last one was 468 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: just Secretary Rubio, Senator cruizing, we've talked about Governor Khenu, 469 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: and then there were no more. You skip the debates 470 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: in twenty five, twenty three, twenty four. You will control, 471 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,719 Speaker 1: You will whether or not the GOP has debates in 472 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, twenty twenty eight. Do you think they 473 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: are a good thing for the party or a bad thing? 474 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 1: Do you want to have them or do you not 475 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: want to have them? 476 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 3: Well, I always liked them. For me, I love debating. 477 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 3: But I think I did the right thing. I had 478 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 3: ten people. They're all smart people, they're you know, governors 479 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 3: and senators, and I figured, why should I allow myself 480 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 3: to be whacked by all ten people at the same time. 481 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 3: I think I did a very fut A lot of 482 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 3: people said you have to be in the debate. I said, 483 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 3: I don't think I do. And then I had the 484 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 3: debate with Biden, which turned out to be a good debate. 485 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 3: I don't think I got enough credit for that debate 486 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 3: because I made him joke, but he didn't do well 487 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 3: on that debate, and the interesting thing is with us 488 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 3: at debate. Would he have been allowed to continue running? 489 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: Yes, he would have been, and that would have been 490 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: a disaster for the party, even worse than Kamala Harris, 491 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: because you can't hide the fact he was infirm. He 492 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: was infirm, He wasn't there. 493 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 3: Well, he didn't do too well, I would say that, 494 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 3: So I'll pause it there. 495 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: I'll get to the last question after the break again. 496 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: The entire interview is being transcribed by Dwayne, who is 497 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: traveling to funeral.

Go ahead? 517 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: Who is the strongest Democrat in twenty twenty eight? Gavin Newsom, AOC, 518 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett, Jared Poulis in Colorado, Chris van Holland, Wes Moore, 519 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: Andy Bisher. Who's their best choice? 520 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 3: You know, as you rattle off those names, I'm just 521 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 3: seeing int and amazing. With three hundred and fifty people. 522 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 3: Of course, we have no idea that Biden let in 523 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 3: so many nobody knows. But with let's say, three hundred 524 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 3: and fifty million people, that that's the best they can do. 525 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 3: It's pretty sad. I think Newsom's hurt because he's done 526 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 3: so badly in California. He has, he's done so so badly. 527 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 3: I just you know, look, he's a sort of a 528 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 3: good politician, but he doesn't get the job done. I 529 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 3: think people are going to people aren't going to stand 530 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 3: for that. There's nobody. I do have a couple of 531 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 3: people that I think would be really tough candidates, but 532 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 3: I don't want to name him because often not chosen. 533 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 2: Well, that does make some sense to me. Okay, let's 534 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 2: close with mister. 535 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: Mayor, Mom Donnie, and you decide when to conclude the interview. 536 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: Mister President, I know you love New York City. It's 537 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: going to be a nightmare. I've only lived there once. 538 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: I've only lived there in nineteen eighty. It's going to 539 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: be worse than nineteen eighty, which was damn bad and 540 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: I left and went to law school because it was 541 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: so bad. Will the city be able to recover after Mom, Donnie. 542 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 3: Well, it's going to be interesting. You know. I've met 543 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 3: him and came into the Oval office, Yes, and we've 544 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: had some nice conversations. Are very good. And then he 545 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 3: hit me a little bit on the tremendous victory and 546 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 3: you would say it was a tremendous victory on Venezuela, 547 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 3: and I said, gee, I thought he would have at 548 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 3: least waited a month. I was surprised that he hit 549 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 3: me on that, but he did. You know, so, what 550 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 3: are you going to do kid. I expected it. I 551 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 3: just thought it would be maybe three or four weeks 552 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 3: instead of immediately, because I do get along with him. 553 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 3: He's got a great personality, is a nice guy. His 554 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 3: policies are not good, but maybe he changes. You know, 555 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 3: That's what I would view because I want to do 556 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 3: everything I can to help New York. So I don't know. 557 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 3: I hope, I hope you're wrong. I hope New york 558 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 3: Is will thrive. But typically those policies, maybe you say 559 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 3: not only typically in history, those policies have never worked. 560 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 2: They did never work. 561 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: The last thing I'll say to you, image President, Golden 562 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: Dome is the most important legacy you're going to leave 563 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: if it gets built.

Have 566 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: you decided where the central location of Golden Dome will 567 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: be yet? 568 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 5: No? 569 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 3: But I love Ohio, I can tell you that.

Vice President Vance talked about it today, 659 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: and I just didn't think it was it will be 660 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: given our news cycle, It's not going to be of 661 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: great consequence long term.

Do you have a question about 673 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 6: the Supreme Court? 674 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 2: Sure? 675 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 6: And I asked, yes, okay, and the nine justices be 676 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 6: legislated as so that it doesn't change and it cannot 677 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 6: be Why why shouldn't we do what the Democrats want 678 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 6: to do and make it in thirteen and put in 679 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 6: our guys while we. 680 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 2: Can Okay, great question. 681 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: My belief is the court should never change from nine liberals, 682 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: and some can servers will tell you that because the 683 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: number is not set in the Constitution, it can always change. 684 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: That FDR tried court packing and was shot down and 685 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: it became a disaster in nineteen thirty eight should not 686 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: stop the Republicans from blowing up the filibuster and going 687 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: after packing the court.

There is at least a 690 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: decent argument that it is unconstitutional to change from nine 691 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: after the Fourteenth Amendment, Although the fourteenth Amendment was ratified 692 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,239 Speaker 1: and the number was changed shortly thereafter. It seems to 693 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: me now part of the fundamental rights of the United 694 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: States to have the rule of law and the continuity 695 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: of the rule of law here from nineteen eighteen sixty 696 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: eight forward when the fourteenth Amendment was ratified, and not 697 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: long thereafter the spin Court decreased from ten to nine, 698 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: and it's been there ever since. 699 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 2: So I would not move to change it. 700 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: And if the Democrats do, I hope it blows up 701 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: in their hands. It did with FDR in nineteen thirty eight. 702 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: It's repellent.
