Speaker 1: Hi Oh, Let's go hi Oh, Let's go oh.
Speaker 2: Let's go oh, Let's go bom back to Shawl Sames.
Speaker 1: To off one oh seven point nine FM WBT taking
Speaker 1: you up till seven o'clock like we do every single night.
Speaker 1: Telephone number seven oh four five one oh seven nine.
Speaker 1: That is also the WBT text line driven by Liberty Buick,
Speaker 1: GMC and Boys and Girls. You should be following me
Speaker 1: on X at Brent Underscore Jensen for all the lattus
Speaker 1: and breaking news in and around the Charlotte area. And
Speaker 1: if you follow me on X like several other thousands do,
Speaker 1: then you would know that I've got a big, big
Speaker 1: show for you tonight, and we're just gonna jump straight
Speaker 1: into it because straight out of the shoot we're gonna
Speaker 1: speak to right now. Joining us is Brooke Rollins, the
Speaker 1: Secretary of US Agriculture, or I guess US Agriculture Secretary
Speaker 1: of Brooke Rawlins to make it make it sound official. So,
Speaker 1: first of all, Madame Secretary, thank you for joining us tonight.
Speaker 1: I know this is the second time we've done a
Speaker 1: couple of interviews, and so I really appreciate you joining
Speaker 1: us tonight.
Speaker 3: It's so good to be back on Brett, how are
Speaker 3: you just fine?
Speaker 2: Again?
Speaker 1: I really do appreciate this because North Carolina, Yes, we're
Speaker 1: getting bigger with Raleigh and obviously Charlotte and one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty seven people move here every single day, and
Speaker 1: Charlotte is the fourteenth biggest city in America right now
Speaker 1: in terms of city limits, not metro, which means that.
Speaker 1: But even with all that being said, if you go
Speaker 1: twenty miles outside of Charlotte, you're in farmland, like it's
Speaker 1: literally farms. And North Carolina has been an agg state
Speaker 1: since its existence.
Speaker 2: So you joining me is very meaningful.
Speaker 1: Even though we're in Charlotte, we covered the entire part
Speaker 1: of western North Carolina, which is a big deal. So
Speaker 1: I want to start off tonight with a lot of
Speaker 1: big news, especially here with you know, with Tom Tillis
Speaker 1: being a state senator here from North Carolina, the Reconciliation
Speaker 1: Act that has gone through Congress that is now going
Speaker 1: to be at the doorstep of the Senate. And there's
Speaker 1: a lot of things in there about farmers, which I
Speaker 1: know a lot of our listeners would actually be anxious
Speaker 1: to hear about. So can you just talk about what's
Speaker 1: in the farmer's part of the reconciliation bill.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely well, and you're one hundred percent right. And
Speaker 3: even for those that are listening to you regularly and
Speaker 3: maybe living in Charlotte or in an urban area, I
Speaker 3: think everyone has begun to realize that farm security is
Speaker 3: national security. That we have basically not only offshore manufacturing,
Speaker 3: offshore pharmaceuticals under the Democrats when they're leading, but we've
Speaker 3: also offshored our food supply. In twenty twenty three under
Speaker 3: Joe Biden, America for the first time in history became
Speaker 3: a net food importer and began to rely on China
Speaker 3: and other countries for fertilizer, for seed, and even for
Speaker 3: our food. As these foreign countries came in and they've
Speaker 3: started buying up our farm land, buying up our agg companies,
Speaker 3: and I didn't realize quite how bad it was, so
Speaker 3: I took this role a year and a half ago.
Speaker 3: So the farmers and protecting our farmers and protecting rural
Speaker 3: America is really protecting the very core of our country.
Speaker 3: That's why I think this is so important for everyone,
Speaker 3: not just our farmers. But to your question, the reconciliation
Speaker 3: bill that is currently being considered and we need all
Speaker 3: of our Republicans on board, including our North Carolina Senator. First,
Speaker 3: it does have a significant chunk in there for our farmers,
Speaker 3: which is very important. I just kind of walked through that.
Speaker 3: But also it includes the Save America Act, that critical
Speaker 3: election integrity measures that we've worked so hard on for
Speaker 3: so long. If you don't have fair elections or free elections,
Speaker 3: then you don't have a country. And we're right on
Speaker 3: the brink of losing America because of that. Of course,
Speaker 3: there's a bunch in there for our military, which is
Speaker 3: really really important. So it's a it is a from
Speaker 3: my perspective, it's a it's a do or die. It's
Speaker 3: time to get it done, get it over the finish line,
Speaker 3: get it into the end zone, and let's continue to
Speaker 3: win for America and putting America first.
Speaker 1: And what can you talk about the farmers section of
Speaker 1: the bill, Well.
Speaker 3: The farmer section is about it's eleven point one billion dollars.
Speaker 3: It's a it's the next step in providing relief for
Speaker 3: disaster for freezes. There's I think there's probably going to
Speaker 3: be even more going in from Congress. That eleven point
Speaker 3: one was our request from the White House, but our
Speaker 3: farmers are facing unprecedented drought, some precedented weather events like hurricanes, freezes,
Speaker 3: et cetera. And then also an additional step in economic aid.
Speaker 3: The input costs that were inherited a year and a
Speaker 3: half ago up to forty fifty sixty percent increases. Under
Speaker 3: the last administration, while we had not one new trade deal,
Speaker 3: we went from a egg trade surplus to a fifty
Speaker 3: billion dollar agricultural trade deficit. We're making a lot of
Speaker 3: progress bread, that's what's exciting. We've cut that in half
Speaker 3: in just over a year with twenty new trade deals.
Speaker 3: But in twenty twenty three, we saw ninety billion dollar
Speaker 3: loss for our farmers, the largest plummet in commodities in history,
Speaker 3: and we're just getting back out of that. So this
Speaker 3: ten billion will be another bridge. Listen, our farmers don't
Speaker 3: want to farm for government checks. They want to farm
Speaker 3: in a fare and free market, and that's what we're building.
Speaker 3: But we're going to get there soon. But this will
Speaker 3: allow us that bridge.
Speaker 4: To get there.
Speaker 1: Speak with US Secretary of Agriculture, Brook Rowlins. Here, I'm
Speaker 1: breaking with Brett Jensen. I don't know if you can
Speaker 1: answer this, but is there one particular crop that has
Speaker 1: been hit harder than maybe other cops, whether it's soybeans
Speaker 1: or corn, or or farming you know, with pigs, cows, whatever.
Speaker 1: Is there a particular part that has been hit harder
Speaker 1: with these farmers than other areas.
Speaker 3: You know there are and it's so cyclical, and that's
Speaker 3: why these farmers just we owe them everything. They only
Speaker 3: make money on average every two of ten years. The
Speaker 3: last stretch has been tough, as we talked about, but
Speaker 3: there are some that are certainly hit harder than others.
Speaker 3: You know, our cotton guys have really struggled the last
Speaker 3: few years. Now with the Make America Healthy Again movement,
Speaker 3: we released a big bring cotton back. It's not just
Speaker 3: about what you eat, it's about what you wear as well.
Speaker 3: So I'm really looking forward to a renaissance for our
Speaker 3: cotton guys. In North Carolina. Bread tobacco has really struggled,
Speaker 3: as you know, but that is a cornerstone crop for
Speaker 3: the people of North Carolina and certainly important parts of
Speaker 3: your state. So we're working really hard on the tobacco
Speaker 3: side of this too, to open up markets around the
Speaker 3: world for tobacco. Interestingly, you normally think about these guys
Speaker 3: as farmers, but I call them farmers of the sea.
Speaker 3: Our shrimp farmers have really struggled, and North Carolina is
Speaker 3: a coastal community, a coastal state, so your guys know
Speaker 3: this is well. We've now begun importing. Ninety percent of
Speaker 3: the shrimp that we eat in America is not American shrimpers,
Speaker 3: and there's a lot of screwed up reasons for that.
Speaker 3: We're really trying to fix right now. As well. The
Speaker 3: road propers have struggled, but we're seeing a better path ahead.
Speaker 3: We're going to have record ethanol, record corn, perhaps record
Speaker 3: sorghum under these new trade deals, especially as we're open
Speaker 3: up East Asia for new trade and so we've seen
Speaker 3: kind of some good movement there, but we still have
Speaker 3: a long way to go. The good news is our
Speaker 3: beef guys are doing well. You know a lot of
Speaker 3: our protein farmers, if you will, because of Make America
Speaker 3: Healthy again. People want protein now more than ever before.
Speaker 3: We had a ten percent increase in fresh food purchases
Speaker 3: last year and that number is only increasing. So that
Speaker 3: the future is brought For a lot of reasons, and
Speaker 3: that's one of them, but hopefully again we're going to
Speaker 3: get there. We've got to preserve these great American farmers
Speaker 3: and what they do to feed and fuel us every
Speaker 3: single day, or we will.
Speaker 4: Lose our country.
Speaker 1: Speak with US Secretary of Agriculture Brook Rollins for a
Speaker 1: couple more minutes here I'm breaking with Brett Jensen, So,
Speaker 1: Adam Secretary. One of the big things going on in
Speaker 1: North Carolina right now is the situation involving hemp. I know,
Speaker 1: right now the hemp industry in North Carolina involves about
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand people. It would be you know, it
Speaker 1: could be impacted either in a positive way.
Speaker 2: Or in a negative way by the production of hemp.
Speaker 1: Is there a particular thought about from you or the
Speaker 1: President about hemp production and just turning into just regular
Speaker 1: hemp in general?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, just in all things, I think the
Speaker 3: President has been very clear on supporting and working and
Speaker 3: you know, it's finding. I was just talking to, in fact,
Speaker 3: a Democrat congressman a couple of hours ago from the
Speaker 3: Northeast and talking about how we shouldn't just be focusing
Speaker 3: on cotton in terms of what we wear, but focusing
Speaker 3: on linen and hemp and other natural products as well.
Speaker 3: So again, I think there's a potential renaissance here and
Speaker 3: a real market opportunity, not just you know, on the
Speaker 3: produce side, but also on the clothing side. And yet
Speaker 3: North Carolina and once again in the middle and the
Speaker 3: crosshairs of all this, having lost so many of our
Speaker 3: textile meals and so much of that infrastructure, how do
Speaker 3: we bring that back? How do we start the long
Speaker 3: process of building it back? And listen, we live in
Speaker 3: the greatest country in the history of the world. We
Speaker 3: are where freedom lives and breathes and thrives. Right two
Speaker 3: hudred and fifty years ago, those founding fathers, many of
Speaker 3: them farmers, stood up and said no to tyranny. And
Speaker 3: we're willing to give it all for that. And so
Speaker 3: as we're looking to revivify and restore and restart liberty
Speaker 3: in our country, we go back to those initial founding
Speaker 3: fathers and how we built this country. And I'm fighting
Speaker 3: so hard for that, as is President Trump. No one's
Speaker 3: been stronger for the farmers, all the farmers and the
Speaker 3: ranchers as this president has. But you can't undo deck
Speaker 3: aids of bad policy in eighteen months. Hopefully when we
Speaker 3: leave in two and a half years, we can look
Speaker 3: back and Brett on your show, I can come back
Speaker 3: on and say we built the infrastructure, we turned the tide,
Speaker 3: we restored prosperity. The Golden Age is coming for rural America,
Speaker 3: not just for all America, but for rural America, and
Speaker 3: in so doing, we have saved the civilization for the
Speaker 3: next two hundred and fifty years. That is the weight
Speaker 3: that we feel, not just meet. But I've got a
Speaker 3: cabinet meeting in the morning at Camp David. I'll be
Speaker 3: with all my brothers and sisters in the cabinet, we'll
Speaker 3: be with the President. And these are real issues. We
Speaker 3: work twenty hours a day, seven days a week to
Speaker 3: work to fix and hopefully we continue to make good progress.
Speaker 1: Well, Brooke Ryland's the US Secretary of Agriculture. For the
Speaker 1: second time you've been able, You've been kind enough to
Speaker 1: come on my show, and I really really do appreciate
Speaker 1: you joining us tonight. And like I said, yes, we're
Speaker 1: in Charlotte, but our signal is one hundred thousand watts,
Speaker 1: and we go tons and tons of farmland here in
Speaker 1: North Carolina that we cover. It included in South Carolina
Speaker 1: as well. So again, thank you so much for.
Speaker 3: I love it, Brett, and I've been now, I've been
Speaker 3: to your state multiples of times. I'm sure i'll be back.
Speaker 3: But love North Carolina obviously you're South Carolinian listeners as well,
Speaker 3: and we're just so grateful for all the freedom lovers
Speaker 3: and liberty fighters that are in your state. And thanks
Speaker 3: for what you do to make sure that we get
Speaker 3: the message out. We're just so grateful to you too,
Speaker 3: and I'll be back on very soon.
Speaker 1: The Madames Secretary, thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: There you go, Secretary of US Agriculture, I should say
Speaker 1: US Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rawlins there, tell you what.
Speaker 1: Like that's when it comes to farming, and not just
Speaker 1: farming but like you know, cattle and pigs and everything
Speaker 1: that we eat, shrimp, seafood, whatever. That's the top dog
Speaker 1: right there. She's in charge of it all, every single
Speaker 1: bit of it. You've heard of the US d A
Speaker 1: grade A prime beef that stands for the US Department
Speaker 1: of Agriculture.
Speaker 2: So and she's in charge of it. You got a
Speaker 2: bad stake. There's the boss.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, I kidding, but again, thanks to Brooke
Speaker 1: Rawls the US Secretary of Agriculture for joining us. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to breaking with Brad Jensen again thanks to Madam
Speaker 1: Secretary of US Agriculture, the US ACT. I should let
Speaker 1: me try this, actually get it right, the US Secretary
Speaker 1: of Agriculture, Brooke rawlins. And again, she's been on the
Speaker 1: show a couple of times and she's been fantastic. And again,
Speaker 1: lots of information, lots and lots of information. So and
Speaker 1: then I wanted to use this time to explain who's
Speaker 1: coming up next, and it's going to be someone that's
Speaker 1: actually it's going to be a pretty big interview.
Speaker 2: It's the Special Assistant to President Trump. He's also the.
Speaker 1: Deputy Press Secretary, so everyone knows Caroline Levitt. This is
Speaker 1: her right hand man, but he's also a special assistant
Speaker 1: to President Trump. And his name is pushed to sigh
Speaker 1: and he's going to be joining us, and I want
Speaker 1: to talk to him because the new economic numbers came
Speaker 1: out today. Some of them are good, some of them
Speaker 1: are bad, and some could be misleading. And I know
Speaker 1: the old saying, well, stats you can make every you
Speaker 1: can make any stat look the way you want it
Speaker 1: to look. I've always found that to be one hundred
Speaker 1: percent faults. One hundred percent faults. If a quarterback's completion percentage,
Speaker 1: which the NFL averages around sixty five percent or so,
Speaker 1: and an NFL quarterbacks completion percentage is forty percent, don't
Speaker 1: tell me I can make that turn into anything that
Speaker 1: I want. If he's that bad, you can't. Well, you
Speaker 1: can make numbers look like anything you want. No, that's
Speaker 1: absolutely not true, not if you're being honest, and even
Speaker 1: in most cases you can't. So numbers are numbers, just
Speaker 1: like facts. Numbers aren't racist, Numbers aren't sexist. Numbers aren't homophobic.
Speaker 1: Numbers are numbers. Numbers are facts. I think there was
Speaker 1: an ESPN show back in the day that was not
Speaker 1: a very good show. I think the name of the
Speaker 1: show was Numbers Never Lie. It was a horrible show.
Speaker 1: It was a midday show.
Speaker 2: It was awful.
Speaker 1: But that is true. Numbers don't lie. Numbers are numbers,
Speaker 1: plain and simple, and how you perceive them, or how
Speaker 1: you take them into your being, that will determine whether
Speaker 1: or not. If you think they're bad numbers, then you're
Speaker 1: gonna think they're bad numbers. But the very next person
Speaker 1: besides you may think they're good numbers. So it's your
Speaker 1: own perception of whether or not something's good or bad.
Speaker 1: The numbers are just there for you to interpret as
Speaker 1: your own. So I'm looking forward to having a cush
Speaker 1: to sigh on because I do want to speak to
Speaker 1: him about the Iran war. I want to speak to
Speaker 1: him about the economy, because, like, let's be honest, those
Speaker 1: are the two biggest things going on right now with
Speaker 1: American voters. That's what they're actually concerned about. The economy
Speaker 1: and Iran, and I've been screaming from the mountaintops from
Speaker 1: day one when this first thing started, what five months
Speaker 1: ago or whatever it was.
Speaker 2: They're interrelated.
Speaker 1: The Joe Biden situation was so bad economically that even
Speaker 1: with the high gas prices, they're still now lower than
Speaker 1: they were most of the term of Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: So think about that for a second. Guess what that's called. Fact.
Speaker 2: It's not right, it's not left, it's fact. That's what
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 1: Deal with what do with it what you will. So,
Speaker 1: but I've been saying once, I've I've always been saying
Speaker 1: that because this was self induced with the war, that
Speaker 1: the numbers immediately shot up in terms of pricing of
Speaker 1: products and gas, and that once it stops, all the
Speaker 1: prices will plummet immediately. Now, I do want to ask
Speaker 1: Becush decide that to see if I am just way
Speaker 1: out in left field somewhere or if it's actually any
Speaker 1: truth to that.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna talk about the Iran war.
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask him about a lot of other
Speaker 1: things going on. Joining us now is someone that is
Speaker 1: very special to the Trump administration, and that is special
Speaker 1: Assistant to President Trump as well as being the Deputy
Speaker 1: Press Secretary. Pushed aside and Cush, I want to say
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us here tonight. I'm breaking with Brett Jensen.
Speaker 1: So the economic data came out today for the second quarter, some.
Speaker 2: Good, some bad. What was your overall impression of it?
Speaker 4: Well, thanks for having me on. Look. I think while
Speaker 4: the top line number cave in slightly below expectations, when
Speaker 4: you kind of open up the hood of this car
Speaker 4: and look at the underlying numbers here, I think we
Speaker 4: saw an incredibly promise and an incredibly solid GDP growth report.
Speaker 4: The consumption remained very solid, actually beat expectations and in
Speaker 4: meting spending in particular smash expectations. And what really dragged
Speaker 4: this we're poured down, was that net import searched and
Speaker 4: they surged because catholine goods imports, and that means the
Speaker 4: equipment and machinery you need to run a factory to
Speaker 4: build a factory as at a record high right now.
Speaker 4: So what we're looking at is that the American consumer
Speaker 4: remains resilient. Businesses continue to invest thanks to our de
Speaker 4: reglatory and task cut agenda, and imports of the goods.
Speaker 4: We need to continue billing these factories. If you've see
Speaker 4: these factory construction jobs surgeying, when you're seeing these new
Speaker 4: ground breakings happening across the country for the semiconductor of
Speaker 4: pharmaceutical or steel or aluminum factories across the United States,
Speaker 4: we're looking at a very strong future growth trajectory here.
Speaker 4: So I think this report actually again you've had a
Speaker 4: look go beyond that top line number is actually very
Speaker 4: solid and very promising for America's economic future.
Speaker 1: Speaking with Kush to side, the Special Assistant to President
Speaker 1: Trump and the Deputy Press Secretary, so Cush, one of
Speaker 1: the things that stood out to me in all the
Speaker 1: data was the fact that people actually earned more income
Speaker 1: in the second quarter than they did in the first quarter.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, it was up zero point
Speaker 2: two percent.
Speaker 1: That may not sound like a lot, but that's over
Speaker 1: sixty billion dollars that went into people's checking accounts that
Speaker 1: wasn't there the previous quarter, And to me, that actually
Speaker 1: says a lot.
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. I mean, I think when you look
Speaker 4: at real wages, the inflation adjusted wages, which which declined
Speaker 4: markedly during during Joe Biden's presidency, I think right now
Speaker 4: it's really being being grounded as solely by by gas
Speaker 4: energy prices. And I think as we kind of saw
Speaker 4: when the when the initial MLU with Durand was solved,
Speaker 4: we was signed, we saw gas or oil prices decline
Speaker 4: markedly from about overall over one hundred dollars to hear
Speaker 4: about sixty or so dollars, which is where they were
Speaker 4: roughly before the start of Operation Epic Fury. And so
Speaker 4: we're very confident that as the President forces a successful
Speaker 4: conclusion to this Iranian situation, and we see oil prices
Speaker 4: come down again and overall inflation comes down as well,
Speaker 4: but real wages will actually continue growing at the same
Speaker 4: way they were before. I mean, remember before the start
Speaker 4: of operation at the Fury, real wages were covered almost
Speaker 4: half of what they had what they had lost during
Speaker 4: during Joe Biden's four.
Speaker 1: Years speak with Kush to signe the special assistant to
Speaker 1: President Trump as well as the Deputy Press Secretary. So, Kush,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up in the whole Iran situation,
Speaker 1: and my whole personal belief on all this has always
Speaker 1: been from day one that this strain has been basically
Speaker 1: self induced, meaning that yes, things are more expensive because
Speaker 1: it costs more to transport things from point A to
Speaker 1: point B, and that once the war with Iran is over,
Speaker 1: gas prices and everything else will immediately start tumbling and
Speaker 1: go back to normal. Am I just being very too
Speaker 1: simplistic about this, that things will actually go back to
Speaker 1: normal as soon as the Ran war stopped.
Speaker 4: No, that's exactly right. The reality is that from day one,
Speaker 4: President Trump has made a focus to unleash American energy
Speaker 4: and that's why oil and gas production the United States
Speaker 4: are at recornized. In fact, we're the largest oil and
Speaker 4: gas produced in the world, one of the largest oil
Speaker 4: and gas exports in the world, and so the fundamentals
Speaker 4: here are very strong. We're looking at some supply chain
Speaker 4: logjams really in the street of our moves in the
Speaker 4: Middle East. But once thing gets resolved, I mean again,
Speaker 4: the fundamentals here are just so strong. And the thing is,
Speaker 4: this isn't even hypothetical. We saw this happen a few
Speaker 4: short weeks ago when that initial MoU was signed, where
Speaker 4: where again oil prices went from well hundred dollars per
Speaker 4: ballot to into the sixty dollars per per ballot range,
Speaker 4: which is what they were, you know, a few months ago.
Speaker 4: So this isn't hypothetical. This is real. It's not over simplistic.
Speaker 4: This is the This is the reality of the market
Speaker 4: that we're living in, and it's precisely because of this
Speaker 4: president's energy policies.
Speaker 1: Speak of a cush to side the Special Assistant to
Speaker 1: President Trump and the Deputy Press Secretary. One of the
Speaker 1: things that came out was that Americans are saving two
Speaker 1: point seven percent of their paycheck. Now, that's a little
Speaker 1: lower than normal. But at the same point, can you
Speaker 1: explain to me why these numbers may not be exactly
Speaker 1: what they see?
Speaker 4: No, And the thing is, the savings rate is actually
Speaker 4: somewhat artificially low. Right now, are mechanically low. And that's
Speaker 4: because the American population has gotten a lot older. And
Speaker 4: so when you're a senior citizen and you're retired, you're
Speaker 4: not you don't need to save money because you're drawing
Speaker 4: down on your retirement, saving your retirement, you know, your
Speaker 4: fourmal one nest egg to enjoy your retirement. And so
Speaker 4: when you actually dig a little deeper and look at
Speaker 4: working age Americans that's savings, it's actually well near or
Speaker 4: slightly above historic norms. So again, the American consumer is resilient.
Speaker 4: The American consumer is spending, and the American consumer is
Speaker 4: also saving money at a very healthy rate.
Speaker 1: To being with Chrish decide this special assistant to President Trump,
Speaker 1: and I know this doesn't have anything to do about
Speaker 1: the numbers that came out earlier this morning and the
Speaker 1: economic numbers, but this does have to do with the economy.
Speaker 1: And that's the fact that the thousand dollars Trump Savings
Speaker 1: accounts for all the children right now in America.
Speaker 2: And it's easy to sign up for.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, now you've got so many Democrat
Speaker 1: governors actually promoting this to their constituents, to the people
Speaker 1: of their own states. This has truly been a big
Speaker 1: time success.
Speaker 4: You know, they're on board with it now because it
Speaker 4: is objectively a great policy. This is a historic game changer.
Speaker 4: Or thanks to President Trump's leadership, the next generation of
Speaker 4: American children are going to be able to start adult
Speaker 4: life off with the head start, to be able to
Speaker 4: build and accrew wealth, to tax free and start off
Speaker 4: life with with the head start to you know, with
Speaker 4: a net deck to buy a home, or go to
Speaker 4: school or start a business. And so the real unfortunate
Speaker 4: thing here that is that every single Democrat in Congress
Speaker 4: actually voted against this. And so it's a little ironic
Speaker 4: now that Democrats are now coming around and praising this
Speaker 4: or and in some cases trying to take credit for it.
Speaker 4: But the reality is is that Democrats opposed this, and
Speaker 4: it was President for up and Republicans who got this
Speaker 4: transformational policy over the finish line.
Speaker 1: And I like to end every single interview the exact
Speaker 1: same way. Is there anything that you'd like to say
Speaker 1: to the listeners that I did not ask you about?
Speaker 4: No. All I would add is that, look, the fundamentals
Speaker 4: of the American economy remain strong. We're seeing the investment
Speaker 4: spending remain very very robust. You know, when these companies
Speaker 4: are announcing that they're going to invest trillion of dollars
Speaker 4: in American manufacturing to build and hire here in America,
Speaker 4: we're seeing that actually pop up in the economic economic data.
Speaker 4: So once you get these short term disruptions, these temporary
Speaker 4: disruptions behind us, for once you know, the Iranian situations
Speaker 4: resolved and the President insurans that Iran never possesses a
Speaker 4: nuclear weapon, we're looking at a very strong trajectory of
Speaker 4: by economic growth, lower inflation, and more poorly higher real
Speaker 4: ladies for for everyday America workers.
Speaker 1: Cush to side, the Special Assistant to President Trump as
Speaker 1: well as the Deputy Press Secretary, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for joining us tonight.
Speaker 4: Of course, thanks for everyon all right.
Speaker 1: Once again, Special Assistant to President Trump and the right
Speaker 1: hand man for Caroline levitth the Press Secretary Cush to si.
Speaker 2: Some interesting stuff there.
Speaker 1: About the Iran war as well as the economic standpoint
Speaker 1: right now, where things are, and let's be honest, things
Speaker 1: could be a heck of a lot worse than what
Speaker 1: they are.
Speaker 2: Heck of a lot worse. And then once the Iran war.
Speaker 1: Stops, they believe they will be just economically that it
Speaker 1: will be no holds barred at that particular point.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Breaking with Brett Jensen for a few
Speaker 2: more minutes here on this.
Speaker 1: Beautiful Thursday night. Addition of breaking with Bredhens, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be going out and enjoying the evening as soon as
Speaker 1: we are done here, coming up in a few more minutes.
Speaker 2: All right, So.
Speaker 1: Are some of you aware, I would maybe most of you,
Speaker 1: maybe not all, but most of you are aware of
Speaker 1: what transpired today over in Europe with Spain and Morocco.
Speaker 2: And I thought this was big enough.
Speaker 1: That again, generally today's just been a national show, because
Speaker 1: you know, I usually don't do national but we had
Speaker 1: the ag Secretary on, we had President Trump's special assistant on.
Speaker 1: And now this is about what happened and what I
Speaker 1: want to explain to you. Yes it's Spain, but it
Speaker 1: happened in Africa, in Morocco. There's a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny.
Speaker 2: Little sliver.
Speaker 1: In Morocco that is owned by Spain. And what I
Speaker 1: mean tiny, I mean like size of Matthews tiny. It's small,
Speaker 1: like you know, maybe rock Hill like it's it's very
Speaker 1: very small, maybe not even that big. It's extremely small,
Speaker 1: but it's on the Africa side. Because Spain and Morocco
Speaker 1: you can see each country from each each other place,
Speaker 1: from each other's country, you can see the other country
Speaker 1: because it's ten fifteen miles apart, so they are and
Speaker 1: so across the Mediterranean, that little tiny gap there in
Speaker 1: the Mediterranean. But I want you to hear the reaction
Speaker 1: on Fox News earlier today when all the videos started
Speaker 1: coming out. But again, when you hear Spain, it's not
Speaker 1: in the big country of Spain. It's actually a tiny, tiny,
Speaker 1: tiny little sliver of Spain clammed claimed territory in Morocco.
Speaker 5: Some really wild video here, chaos at the border of
Speaker 5: Spain's North African enclive in Morocco.
Speaker 2: This is a city called Suta.
Speaker 5: You're watching as thousands of migrants break through the fence
Speaker 5: and completely overwhelm the border police. They're video showing huge
Speaker 5: groups of people, mostly young military age guys, cramming into
Speaker 5: inflatable tubes or arriving on shore another way, some of
Speaker 5: them waiting in the water as they break through the
Speaker 5: gates to get to the other side. Sandra, this is
Speaker 5: reminiscent of kind of what we saw during the open
Speaker 5: border during the Biden administration through twenty twenty one twenty
Speaker 5: twenty four, kind of similar to what we saw in
Speaker 5: del Rio back in twenty twenty one. The Socialists agenda,
Speaker 5: their platform literally says they want to abolish borders, abolish
Speaker 5: immigration enforcement, have complete freedom of movement. This is what
Speaker 5: it looks like in another country if they get what
Speaker 5: they want. Notice there is no resistance from the government whatsoever.
Speaker 5: These people are coming in without any obstruction.
Speaker 2: And if people don't.
Speaker 5: Know, Spain has a very left wing government. Earlier this
Speaker 5: year they did a big amnesty program for over a
Speaker 5: million illegal immigrants living in the country. They had one
Speaker 5: point three million illegal immigrants apply for that amnesty program
Speaker 5: between April and June. So that's what we call a
Speaker 5: pull factor, Sandra. They're looking for something like that. They
Speaker 5: know if they can just get their foot in the country,
Speaker 5: maybe someday that left wing government will do another amnesty program.
Speaker 5: And you are just reading some of the wires. The
Speaker 5: locals want an emergency declaration.
Speaker 2: It sounds like.
Speaker 6: Ministry saying no, and they will not deploy military to
Speaker 6: the border.
Speaker 5: Apparently they don't think this is an I mean, look
Speaker 5: at this, this is a total free for all.
Speaker 6: It does feel like we are looking at a few
Speaker 6: years ago when you're reporting at the border here in
Speaker 6: the United States. This is happening right now. This story
Speaker 6: is breaking right now, and you're not just talking about hundreds.
Speaker 6: Thousands of migrants are pouring over the borders.
Speaker 5: As we speak. Yeah, and again, I mean just look here.
Speaker 5: Do you see any women or children. I mean, most
Speaker 5: people would call these folks so called asylum seekers. These
Speaker 5: are all young guys just flooding into the country and
Speaker 5: overwhelming what if any border there is. It looks like
Speaker 5: there's just kind of a small barbed wire fence or
Speaker 5: something like that.
Speaker 2: But you can see the.
Speaker 5: Spanish government is caught completely off guard here and you
Speaker 5: have thousands of these men. I mean, it literally looks
Speaker 5: like you often hear the word invasion, but it literally
Speaker 5: looks like one.
Speaker 2: Here. Look at that.
Speaker 5: I mean you see the border fence there, They're all
Speaker 5: just going around it. And again, the head.
Speaker 6: Of Spain's Civil Guard is calling this absolute chaos and
Speaker 6: a brand new interview. He said, quote, it's not possible
Speaker 6: to give precise numbers, but there are thousands of migrants
Speaker 6: crossing right now. He added that the border has totally collapsed.
Speaker 5: Quote unquote, yeah, it certainly looks like And for folks
Speaker 5: who don't know where this is, this is a small
Speaker 5: Spanish city autonomous in North Africa. It's actually in Morocco,
Speaker 5: but it is it does have Spanish autonomy.
Speaker 2: It's called Suta.
Speaker 5: So this isn't on the mainland of Spain. But these images,
Speaker 5: we've been looking at them on social media all morning.
Speaker 5: It's just stark to see that there is no resistance whatsoever.
Speaker 5: I mean, at least in Del Rio. Back in twenty
Speaker 5: twenty one, when those twenty thousand Haitians were crossing the
Speaker 5: river similar images to this, you had some border patrol there,
Speaker 5: you had Texas DPS there trying to stop them. Here
Speaker 5: in Spain, there is absolutely nothing stopping these folks from
Speaker 5: waiting ashore and climbing the fences. And Sandra, just I
Speaker 5: mean look at that in the background. I mean, there
Speaker 5: are thousands upon thousands of these men just flooding the
Speaker 5: country and there.
Speaker 6: Are reported deaths as well as some of those that
Speaker 6: are crossing over by water. We're gonna be on this,
Speaker 6: We're gonna have brand new details as this story develops,
Speaker 6: will have those for you shortly all.
Speaker 1: Right, So again I want to make clear, Yes, it
Speaker 1: is the country of Spain, but it's in a completely
Speaker 1: different continent, and it is a tiny speck of land
Speaker 1: surrounded by Morocco and the Mediterranean Sea. And you heard
Speaker 1: the spain people going, yeah, we're not sending anyone there
Speaker 1: to help you. And it would not surprise me if
Speaker 1: Spain just picked up and left and go, you know what,
Speaker 1: you can have the town of rock Hill or the
Speaker 1: town of Matthews.
Speaker 2: Don't care, don't. I mean, it's a port.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, like just there's
Speaker 1: no way you're going to get all those thousands. And
Speaker 1: again they were all men, not a single you hear
Speaker 1: them saying, not a single woman or child. It was
Speaker 1: thousands of men, most of whom were young, and half of.
Speaker 2: Whom were shirtless. They were shirtless.
Speaker 1: So Spain, you know it, might well just cut your
Speaker 1: losses and go, you know what, you could have it.
Speaker 2: You're still not getting into Spain.
Speaker 1: Even though they just gave political asylum to over a
Speaker 1: million people in Spain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good luck with that.
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks again to US Secretary of Agriculture Broke
Speaker 1: Rolins for joining US earlier today as well as special
Speaker 1: Assistant to President Trump and the Deputy Press Secretary pushed
Speaker 1: de sigh again. Thanks to those people for joining us,
Speaker 1: and we've got a big show playing for you again
Speaker 1: tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: TJ Ritchie's coming up next. My name is Brett Jenson,
Speaker 2: and you've been listening to Breaking with Brett Jenson.
