1
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: What voting. I think there are anger issues. I think

2
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: there's a lack of contrition those about the violence that

3
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: portrayed on me, really the violent episode he was involved

4
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: in the set a committee where he's told the media

5
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: frankly that he doesn't regret it.

6
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: He's also told the media there as he said it

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: again today, that there's a historical president for violence that

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: canian doing happened all the time.

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: That is Rand Paul from Kentucky. He's confirming he will

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: not vote to confirm Mark Way Mullan for DHS Secretary.

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 3: Rand Paul said that Mullan's anger issues would be a

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 3: terrible example for ice and border control. So when two

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 3: women get into a fight, you call it a cat fight.

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 4: What do you call it?

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: When two dudes get into.

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 4: A fight, you call it a fight. That's the way

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 4: it wants to fight. That's the way it works. No,

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 4: it's like when you got a bunch of guys playing basketball,

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 4: what do you call it? You call it basketball? And

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 4: when you got a bunch of women playing basketball, you

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 4: call it women's basketball. He called it to fight or

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 4: then it's women, it's a cat fight. Don't give me

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 4: that look, And I don't make the rules. That's just

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 4: the way it works.

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: They keep grilling Mark Wayne Mullen about his personality, but

26
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: people care more about whether he's actually going to secure

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 3: the border than anything. So this confirmation hearing, it turned

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 3: into a fight between Mark Waynemullen and Ran Paul.

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 4: And I think this is the interesting thing because as

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 4: soon as I saw this, and you know, obviously Ran

31
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 4: Paul has come out and said he's not going to

32
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 4: vote to approve Mark Waynemullen as the new DHS secretary.

33
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 4: And so keep in mind here, we got fifty three

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 4: senators that are Republicans, so you scratch one off the

35
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 4: list so far, that's Ran Paul. We got another couple

36
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: of squish Republicans out there, like Susan Collins and Maine

37
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 4: and Lisa Murkowski in Alaska. They can never be counted

38
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: on for anything. And then all of a sudden, we

39
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 4: can't lose one more Publican senator or this guy's vote's

40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 4: going to fail and he's not going to pass. Now,

41
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 4: rest assured. Casey john Thun, Senate majority leader for the Republicans,

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 4: has come out and said he has all the confidence

43
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 4: in the world that Mark Wayne Bowen, Mark Wayne Mullins

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 4: has the votes to get confirmed. Yeah, but you'll have

45
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 4: to excuse me if I don't have a lot of

46
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: faith in John Thune at this point in time, the

47
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 4: man can't even get all the Republicans on board to

48
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: pass the Save Act. I don't know how he's going

49
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: to get all the Republicans on board to pass this.

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 4: DHS secretary, Well.

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: He doesn't need all the Republicans if he can get

52
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: a Democrat or two. And John Fetterman has said that

53
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: he's open to it. It was reported that yeah, Fetterman

54
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 3: was going to vote to confirm him, but now he's

55
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: kind of walking that back just a little and saying, no,

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: I'm open to it. But if Republicans are fighting each

57
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 3: other like this in public, it makes the whole party

58
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: look disorganize. What are they doing not in public? This

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: is going to go down as the tell me to

60
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: my face hearing because rand Paul was an apology that

61
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: just wasn't coming.

62
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: You got a chance today. You can either continue to

63
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: lie or you can correct the record. You have never

64
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: had the courage to look me in the eye and

65
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: tell me that the assault was justified. So today you'll

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: have your chance. Today I'll give you that chance to

67
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: clear the record. Tell it to my face if that's

68
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: what you believe, tell it to me today. Tell the

69
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: world why you believe I deserve to be assaulted from behind,

70
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: have six ribs broken and a damage lung. Tell me

71
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: to my face why you think I deserved it.

72
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: So, while I sometimes agree with Rand Paul about his

73
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: fiscal policies, especially his fiscal positions, his tone, it always

74
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: seems to be about himself. He could have spoken with

75
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: Mullan privately to clear the air, and instead he made

76
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: it a personal affront at this hearing.

77
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and what Rand for some context here, what ran

78
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: Paul is talking about is several years ago Rand Paul

79
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: was assaulted in his yard. And I may get some

80
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: of the specifics on this wrong assaulted in his yard

81
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: by his neighbor. And is Ran Paul mentioned he had

82
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: six cracked ribs and some oized other injuries. And then

83
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: obviously at some point Mark Wayne Mullin had some nasty

84
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 4: things to say about Ran Paul as it relates to

85
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: that assault. And so here in front of God and

86
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: everybody in the you know, on the halls of Congress,

87
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: Rand Paul decides that this is the specific issue that

88
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: he's going to bring up and challenge him on. But

89
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 4: you're exactly right. But that's what you get when you

90
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: have you know what we used to call them mavericks.

91
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: When John McCain was still in the Senate, he was

92
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 4: the maverick. He wasn't afraid to go against his party.

93
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 4: And ran Paul certainly isn't afraid to go against his party.

94
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 4: And I'm all for that because I'm sick of party

95
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: politics and every Democrat just falling in line even if

96
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 4: they don't believe it, and every Republican just falling in

97
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 4: line even if they don't believe it. And that's not

98
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 4: how Thomas Massey and ran Paul have operated and had

99
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 4: their political careers up until this point. But when you've

100
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: got that kind of maverick, when you've got that person

101
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 4: that's not afraid to publicly go against their party, then

102
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 4: you kind of get some other stuff like, hey, you

103
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 4: know ran Paul does like to make it all about himself.

104
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: Well, you can disagree with somebody, but bringing up the

105
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: personal stuff like that and a hearing it feels messy,

106
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: it feels unproductive. You want to talk about unproductive, Listen

107
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: to this back and forth the heated exchange between Senators

108
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 3: Ran Paul and Mark Waynemullen.

109
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 5: Mister chairman. First of all, I didn't know the extend

110
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 5: of your damage. When a phone call was made. I

111
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 5: made it to you, and I try to talk to you.

112
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 5: You didn't engage at all. In fact, you said, get

113
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 5: your paperwork in. It's got to be at three works

114
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 5: three days in between you.

115
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: You offer no apology, sir, and you offer no apology

116
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: today and no regrets.

117
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: I owned the word apologized.

118
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: Haven't heard the word regret. Haven't heard I misspoke, and

119
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: it was heated, and I made a mistake actually.

120
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: In any of those words, sir.

121
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 5: I actually it wasn't heated, and I'm not apologizing for point.

122
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 4: Not your good or goodn't.

123
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: So you're jolly well fine. And you want the American

124
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: public and the people up here to vote that may

125
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: or may not vote for you, to know that you

126
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: supported the felonious, violent attack on me from behind.

127
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 5: I did not say I supported it, said understood it.

128
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, So that's it.

129
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: He said that he understood it based on Ran Paul's character.

130
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: He was attacked in twenty seventeen, and Paul took that

131
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: as justifying the political violence. So Paul has said he's

132
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: going to vote no on Mullen's nomination, and Mullen's response

133
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 3: he denied supporting violence. He said he's a straightforward, direct

134
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 3: person and would address any of these issues openly. And

135
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 3: despite opposing him, Paul said he would still allow a

136
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 3: quick committee vote to move the process forward.

137
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 4: This is not normal what we're seeing right now. Usually

138
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 4: when senators are elevated to a position like Cabinet secretary,

139
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: they get a lot of support from their fellow senators

140
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 4: because at the end of the day, it's a good

141
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: old boys club and a good old girls club and

142
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: they all support each other. Example, a of course, is

143
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 4: Marco Rubio. When he was nominated to be Secretary of

144
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 4: State in twenty twenty five by Donald Trump. Not one

145
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 4: Democrat voted against Marco Rubio to be Secretary of State.

146
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 4: So it's odd for this debate to get so contentious,

147
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 4: especially within their own party. The Republicans are the ones

148
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 4: that were having the fights yesterday over a fellow Republican senator.

149
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: It looks like and if you believe John Thune, and

150
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: there beyond John Thune, there are others like you said,

151
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 4: John Fetterman thinks this will pass and he may even

152
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 4: vote to confirm Mark Wayne Mullen. But it is odd

153
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 4: and not normal usually that we see this when senators

154
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 4: are part of the confirmation process.

155
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: Now, the good news in all of this, at least

156
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: we're not talking about another bureaucrat who is just talking

157
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: in circles. Ran Paul did say that he would allow

158
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: the Quick Committee vote to move the process forward. But

159
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: then yesterday at five oh three, after this was all

160
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: said and done, ran Paul posted this This guy, I mean,

161
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: he just does not like Mark Wayne Ullens. He said

162
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: Senator Mark WAYN Mullen in his own words. This is

163
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: a supercut of tense Mullen's moments.

164
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 5: You know where to find me any place, any time, cowboy. Sorry,

165
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 5: this is a time. This is a place. If you

166
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 5: want to run your mouth, we can be too consenting adults.

167
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 5: We can finish it here. Okay, that's fine, perfect, you

168
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: want to do it now.

169
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 4: I'd love to do it right now.

170
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 5: We'll stand your butt up.

171
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: Then you stand up, butt up? Stop it? Oh no,

172
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 4: sit down, United States? Okay, sit down? Please?

173
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: All right?

174
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: Can I respond it? Hold it? If he got up

175
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 4: to would you have would you have gone at it

176
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: right there? I would have probably jumped over the dice.

177
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 5: At that point, you have to be called out of

178
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 5: if not, this guy continues to get away with this stuff,

179
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 5: and it's just, you know, it's silly, it's stupid. But

180
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 5: every now and they need to get a punch in

181
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 5: the face. Well, go back to the eighteen hundreds and

182
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 5: seventeen hundreds. They used to have canes and duels and

183
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 5: they touls. Yeah, and there's a way that men used

184
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 5: to settle their differences. I ignored him four times to

185
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 5: be part of that. And people say, yes, you're supposed

186
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 5: to ignore it. Well, you know, I'm not a very

187
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 5: good Christian. I try to be a good Christian, and

188
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 5: I know people say youre supposed to turn the other cheek.

189
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 5: I prefer the David method.

190
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 4: But we need to move from an almost way. I'm

191
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: not afraid of Biden. I will bite Biding.

192
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: That's your potential DHS secretary saying that he's not afraid

193
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 3: of Biden.

194
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 4: You stand your butt up, You stand your butt It's

195
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 4: like the worst fifth grade school yard fight talk I've

196
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: ever heard in my life. Your face is dumb, No,

197
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: your face is dumb, Your mom is dumb, soddy. What

198
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 4: is this that was on the floor of the Senate yesterday.

199
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: Well, that that clip when he said you stand your

200
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: butt up, you stand your butt up. That happened in

201
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, and that was Sean O'Brien arguing with

202
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: Mark waynemullen and Shan O'Brien is the president of the

203
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and they.

204
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 4: Were having this conversation, right.

205
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 3: You know. The interesting interesting thing that happened though, is

206
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: O'Brien yesterday was in the front row of the confirmation

207
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 3: hearing and when Mark wayn mullan walked into the dayas

208
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 3: he shook only one hand and it was O'Brien's, the

209
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: guy that he had that you stand your brought up

210
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: fight with It is so apparently they kissed and made up.

211
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 4: This is just not a great look for Rand Paul

212
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 4: at the end, I mean, because it's not a good

213
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 4: look for either. I agree, not a good look for

214
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 4: either of them, but not a great look for Rand Paul.

215
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 4: And look, I like Rand Paul a lot because I

216
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 4: don't believe he's controlled by Donald Trump. I don't believe

217
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 4: he's controlled by the Republican Party. I think he speaks

218
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 4: his mind. But when he does this sort of grand

219
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 4: standing making it all about rand Paul during the Senate

220
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: confirmation hearing yesterday, it does give you some pause and

221
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 4: you're like, geez, can't you just can't you just go

222
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 4: back to you know, be in the maverick in the

223
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: Senate and and being the one that stands up for

224
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: their own beliefs instead of this you silly schoolyard taunting

225
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 4: back and forth.

226
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: Now, I think he's just trying to bring attention to

227
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 3: possible issues that he has. At least he wants everybody

228
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: to know he thinks that Mark win Mullin has anger

229
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: issues and we could be heading down a similar path.

230
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 4: Okay, fine, but again doesn't absolve the fact that Mark

231
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: that ran Paul made it all about Ran Paul yesterday

232
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: in that hearing. University of Notre.

233
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: Dame expanding its financial aid programs starting next year. They

234
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 3: have made an announcement that families with incomes under one

235
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand dollars will pay zero tuition.

236
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 4: Casey, let's play a little game right now. Okay, you

237
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 4: ready for this? So I have what the cost the

238
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 4: annual cost full freight if you're paying full freight to

239
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 4: go to the University of Notre Dame for both your

240
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 4: classes and room and board and books. The estimated and

241
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 4: this is for the twenty twenty six twenty twenty seven

242
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 4: academic seasons that will be for kids going to college

243
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: this fall. So again, this is the all in full

244
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 4: freight cost for one year at Notre Dame. Prices right rules,

245
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 4: I want you to give me your best.

246
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: Estimate one year at Notre Dame forty five thousand.

247
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 4: You are way off. Oh really, this is room and

248
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 4: board and tuition and everything.

249
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: I'm I low, Am I way low?

250
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: Ninety one thousand, nine hundred eighty six dollars ninety one

251
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 4: thousand dollars to attend the University of Notre Dame for

252
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: one year, room and board, tuition, books, everything all in

253
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: for one year ninety one thousand dollars.

254
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 3: Wow. So yeah, Families earning under one hundred and fifty

255
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: thousand dollars are going to receive need based aid that

256
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: covers one hundred percent of the tuition. The school said

257
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: that they should remove financial barriers and make Notre Dame

258
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: more accessible to students from various income backgrounds.

259
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: Wow, ninety one thousand dollars. That's stunning.

260
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 3: Well, over the next year, the university says that they

261
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: want to commit more than one billion dollars to undergraduate aid, and.

262
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 4: Other schools have done this for a long time. Yale

263
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 4: has done this. If your family makes under a certain

264
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 4: threshold and you get into Yale, there is no cost

265
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 4: to you to do that. And some other schools have

266
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 4: started to do it, and I think it's probably going

267
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: to start to become a little bit of a trend

268
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 4: because there's been a big backlash against these elitist universities,

269
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 4: and rightly so. They've done some dirty, rotten things and

270
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: deserve all the backlash that they're getting. And I think

271
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: they recognize that and know that, and know that they

272
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 4: need to be doing a little bit more on their

273
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 4: public relations, need to be doing a little bit more

274
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 4: on how to build up their public image places like

275
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 4: Yale and Harvard, and maybe not so much Notre Dame,

276
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 4: but doing something like this where you say, okay, fine,

277
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 4: if you make family makes less than X amount of

278
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 4: dollars a year, you will pay the full freight. I

279
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 4: think this is a pr move by these schools and

280
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 4: a very welcome one for sure you're listening to ninety

281
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: three WYBC
