1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: What this was incorrectly designed with a good building. Actually

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: it's kind a beautiful a terminal. Sarenon was the architect,

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: one of the greatest architects in the world at the time,

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: the great architect, and so they have a great building,

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: got to be at airport. But we're gonna turn that

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: around and we're gonna make a Dallas Airport serving Washington

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: and Virginia, Maryland, et cetera. We're going to make that

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: into something really spectacular. We have an amazing plan for it.

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: That's President Trump discussing a rebuild, depend station and a

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: reconfiguring of our infrastructure. Tony Katz. Tony Katz today, good

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 2: to be with you. Is Secretary Duffy speaking just moments ago.

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: Is the Cabinet meetings going on live here. Sean Duffy

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: has a future, a real future, and the movement happening

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: on going from copper to fiber on getting modernized in

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: our systems. This is the stuff and he's doing it

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: without any of the hysteria, just getting it done.

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 3: Now.

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: This is Doug Collins all us into him just for

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: the accent, who runs Veterans Affairs.

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: Works together and I want to start there and this

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: often it said, I found out some things this year

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: that I didn't know that the Department of what was

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: Defense now Department War and the Veterans Department had never

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: really communicated. Now we're fraternal twins in a way. Eight

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: an hour, he lists better I'm better looking. But in

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: looking at this, I mean he brings them in. He

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: keeps them for a number of years, up to twenty

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: or longer, and then they come in to what the

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: country has committed to our veterans. And if you don't

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: have both ends working correctly, then recruitments lags, morale lags,

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: and we've been able to work and fix a great

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: deal out. I didn't need to change our name, but

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: I did do one thing. I put the veteran back

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: first into EA, and we did that in one year.

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: How did we do that? We started taking things have

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: been neglected for a long time and put them back.

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: We had a backlog in which we've dropped over one

38
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: hundred and six thousand. We're not talking year to year

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: change in VA, we're talking five to six years. We

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: have to go back five to six year prior COVID

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: numbers to see the change of backlogs that are now reduced.

42
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: Maybe we do it in six months instead of a

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 3: long time into it. In fact, he grew under the

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: Biden administration is shranko over one hundred and sixty hundred

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 3: us CHAMPA, which the program we have has basically been

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 3: back to day to day. It was at a terrible

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 3: statement which delays and claims and everything we want on.

48
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: We've got that back.

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: We're doing things like taking a new look. I have

50
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: one question that I asked when I go to my

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: hospitals with probably one hundred over one hundred and seventy hospitals,

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: twelve hundred clacks, and I asked the people one thing

53
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: was President, I said, what are you doing right now

54
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: that if you were just honest and I wasn't standing here,

55
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: you say this is stupid. It's been amazing what we've

56
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: gotten in the feedback.

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 4: That we've had.

58
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: We've been able to change how we do credentially, how we.

59
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: Do privileging, how we do hiring.

60
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: We're all working through that and it has all made

61
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: a difference for our veterans as we go for CNP,

62
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: exlams for better.

63
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: This is the kind of stuff now I agree that

64
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: it is in the price of milk and the price

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: of eggs, which eggs are down, by the way, and

66
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: isn't gasoline, which is at a lower number than it

67
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: has been and needs to go lower. But these are

68
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: the kinds of things, These are the kinds of results

69
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: that the White House needs to be better on. The

70
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: Republicans need to be better on. Let me say it differently,

71
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: the Republicans have to be able to message or they

72
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 2: lose the midterms. Everybody's aware of this, right There is

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: a special election going on in Tennessee where I mean,

74
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: I'll play for you the audio from Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett.

75
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: This is a Marxist aften ben. She is what she is,

76
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: she's nuts, and she is in a district where Trump

77
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: won by plus twenty two. Trump won it by twenty

78
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: two points. And it's a tight race against a guy

79
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: by name of Van Epps, who's that's his last name.

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: He's terrific by every account. And it lets you know

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: where people are. Yes, it's a special election. You can

82
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: engage as a whole bunch of ways. But in the end,

83
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: as we discussed after the election in twenty twenty four,

84
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: for those of you who were at my first event,

85
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: understanding the election in three Bourbons. There's a very large

86
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: difference between the Trump brand and the Republican brand, and

87
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: the Republican brand ain't great, and they need to be

88
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: able to sell this story well on all the fronts.

89
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: Here's what we're doing for veterans, and here's why it

90
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: matters to you, your community, your family, where you live.

91
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: This is Jameson Greer, who's the US trade representative. Do

92
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: you hear his name but you don't see him normally.

93
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: I'll let him see the outcome.

94
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 4: We had a huge trade deficit.

95
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: You took ahead on.

96
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: You gave all of us who work on a file

97
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: on leverage. So we spent the past ten months or

98
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 4: whatever you've been doing now just going around the world

99
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: and flipping the script. So now we're in a situation

100
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: where we protect at our industries. We have the tariffs

101
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: and the other countries have decided to take their tariffs

102
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 4: down and on terrorf bearers, and we've done it in

103
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: a very constructive way. We've achieved agreements on reciprocal trade,

104
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: in which are a new kind of trade agreement that's

105
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 4: really focused on making sure we have balanced trade. We

106
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: have reciprocal trade that we're treating each other fairly, and

107
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 4: it's been embraced by the international community, and it's going

108
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: to be excited to see what it's like five years,

109
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: ten years from now, because you've changed it and that's

110
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: how it's going to be now. And I think you

111
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 4: should be commanded for it and look forward to seeing

112
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 4: what comes the next few years.

113
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.

114
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: Similar to the point, he's doing a ridge job. Thank

115
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: you very much.

116
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: Please thank mister President.

117
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 5: Last time I was here, I said that the amount

118
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 5: of dreg that we had for regulatory was.

119
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: Thirty that vote budget to one.

120
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 5: Your goull had been ten to one, which was in

121
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 5: excess of six to one in the first term.

122
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: It's actually much higher than.

123
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 5: That, but I made my team redo this at the

124
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 5: threshold a little bit because it sounded so unbelievable. But

125
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 5: the amount of work that's being done with this entire

126
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 5: team is astronomical.

127
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 2: And another detail in that.

128
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 5: Is that when we propose a rule, some of some

129
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 5: of the biggest ones that you care the most about

130
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 5: don't go into that count until they are finalized, so

131
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 5: next year we should be even more eye popping. One

132
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 5: of those to talk about is the Federal Acquisition's regulations

133
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 5: which you gave us a charge six months ago to

134
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 5: dramatically reduce. In six months, we've lowered it by twenty

135
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 5: five percent, five hundred pages, twenty seven hundred mandates, which

136
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 5: is a third of the mandates. That's going to lead

137
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 5: to savings, competition, and speed.

138
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: So again, a story to tell. Now, there's always going

139
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: to be some pushback. What about this? What about that?

140
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: We should never be people who dismiss what we're dealing with.

141
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: You cut a regulation, you should be able to talk

142
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 2: about cutting the regulation. Somebody else can discuss why that

143
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: regulation was so very very important. But you have to

144
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: be able to sell your story. If these are things

145
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: you have decided provide results, you have to be able

146
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: to put them in a total package and in every

147
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: single way. You have to then follow it up with

148
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: here's how it helps you. Here's how it makes your

149
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: life better. Here's how it makes your business easier to run.

150
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: Here's how it makes your family richer, Here's how it

151
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: makes your life more affordable. Everything must relate back, absolutely everything,

152
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: and when they fail to do so, when they fail

153
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: to engage that way, that missed opportunity doesn't come back.

154
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: If you want to have this as nothing more than

155
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: some level of DC story you can but that seems

156
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: foolhardy every time a regulation is cut. Here is how

157
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: your family business gets to keep more of your money.

158
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: Here's how your business gets to grow. Here's how you

159
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: can now have the opportunity to take your dream and

160
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: turn it into a business. That's the stuff. That's where

161
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: they need to be. And I swear to you, I'm

162
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent sure they totally know how to

163
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: get there, how to sell a story accurately. Now, it

164
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: was a very interesting thing. We're just hearing from the

165
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 2: or just speaking with the HUDs secretary about housing, and

166
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: there is a story about housing that is very very interesting.

167
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: I got it over at the NBC. I'll have it

168
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: posted over at Tony kats dot com. Which goes into

169
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 2: the fact that there are more that apartment prices I

170
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 2: should say, have gone down. Apartment prices have gone down.

171
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: I thought that there was an issue with housing. I

172
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 2: thought there was an affordability crisis. There was. There's a

173
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: serious issue going on. The reason that we have more

174
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: apartments going down in price, well supply and demand. There's

175
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: less demand. Why is there less demand? What's going on

176
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: that there's less demand. That's a cultural answer about why

177
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: it is that people eighteen to thirty four aren't getting apartments,

178
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: why they're still living at home. There are some serious,

179
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: serious issues going on across the country going on with

180
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 2: us culturally and not everything is a matter of economics.

181
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: If you want to talk about being priced out and

182
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: everything is too expensive, A lot of things are too expensive. Again,

183
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: that's that economic conversation. And they're hoping that the advent

184
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: and the implementation of the One Big Beautiful Bill and

185
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: these tax cuts, they hope that that's going to be

186
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: able to help them sell their economic story and that

187
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: that will lead to some hopefully lower pricing. Hopefully some

188
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: of these tariff conversations, these deals, these perspective investments turn

189
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: into actual dollars, and that's going to help too. But

190
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: there's a really interesting housing story going on here that

191
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with affordability and has everything to

192
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: do with something else, which is cultural. Scott Turner, the

193
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 2: HUD secretary, is speaking. We'll get to the rest of

194
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 2: the cabin meetings going on. I'm going to bring it

195
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: to you for sure. Keep it here. I'm Tony Katz.

196
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: This is Tony Katz. Today,
