Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Making the American Farm Strong Again. Team forty seven with

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck starts now. Quite a speech last night.

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: Some people are saying the greatest speech of all presidential

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: speeches in recent history. For sure, President Trump did a

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: phenomenal job. Clocked in at I think it was over

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: two hours. It definitely was a lengthy one. The President

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: lighting it up. America is back, that was at the

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: very top, dawn of the Golden Age, and a lot

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: of positivity, a lot of good things going on in

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: this speech. And Clay, we're going to work through it

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: piece by piece. I just I will start with this assessment.

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: There is both a sense of tremendous optimism and a

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: bulliance on the right about where all of this is going.

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: In a heck of a first month for Trump and

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: then the left, the Democrats seem to have nothing other

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: than pouting. I didn't even stay up to watch the

18
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: Alyssa Slotkin rebuttal, I'll tell you the truth.

19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: It was late.

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: I had to switch time zones. I'm an old man,

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: so I had to check it out this morning. I

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: understand that they feel they have to do I actually

23
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 2: don't think they have to do this. I think that

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: this is an outdated model. But the bigger thing from

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: the Democrats wasn't just the incredibly wimpy response, worthless, really

26
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: forgettable response officially to Trump's address to Congress, but the

27
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: childishness of the Democrats in attendance does deserve some of

28
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: our attention, because all of you are familiar with the

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: massive accomplishments of Trump's first term, of Trump's now first

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: month of his second term, and the plans for the

31
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: future are incredibly exciting for those of us who want

32
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: to see this Golden Age unfold, who want to see

33
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: America at its absolute best. Democrats are having a tough

34
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: time with that whole concept. You had one congressman have

35
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: to be escorted out of the chamber. This is not

36
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: a good look.

37
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: We'll discuss.

38
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: This is not something that the Democrat Party should be

39
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: okay with a lot of interruptions. They had these little

40
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: paddles like they were at an auction in the audience,

41
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: and Klay, let's just jump with this and you tell

42
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: me what your biggest, biggest feelings were on this. But

43
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: Trump pointed out early on it doesn't even matter what

44
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: he does at this point, whether it's ending the Ukraine

45
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: War or curing cancer, Democrats are against whatever Trump is for.

46
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: Trump derangement syndrome is in its terminal stage play clip eighteen.

47
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: Here this is my fifth such speech to Congress, And

48
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: once again I look at the Democrats in front of me,

49
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say

50
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 3: to make them happy, or to make them stand or

51
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: smile or applaud. Nothing I can do. I could find

52
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that

53
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: would wipe out entire nations, or announce the answers to

54
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: the greatest economy and history, or the stoppage of crime

55
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: to the lowest levels ever recorded. And these people sitting

56
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly

57
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: will not cheer for these astronomical achievements. They won't do it,

58
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: no matter what five times I've been up here. It's

59
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: very sad, and it just shouldn't be this way.

60
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: Clay Trump was having fun.

61
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: He was, and I thought it was the best speech

62
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: of his political career. And I don't think that's hyperbole

63
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: much of it. If you strip away the politics really

64
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: boiled down to basic common sense. And I guess my

65
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway last night, Buck, was Democrats did what they

66
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: would have said was impossible. They made Trump look like

67
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: the adult in the room. I thought they feel they

68
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: their behavior. They looked and sounded like brats. I thought

69
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: they were behaving like poorly, poorly regulated school children. They

70
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: were adults emotionally outbursting their their Uh. It just it

71
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: felt like the Democrat Party to me, was on a

72
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: suicidal mission to destroy its brand. And to me, Buck,

73
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: there were a lot of great things Trump did. He's

74
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: always got a real narrative ability to connect, whether it

75
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: was with Lake and Riley's mom and sister, whether it

76
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: was with Joscelyn Nungerret's mother and announcing that he's going

77
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: to name a wildlife refuge after her, whether it was

78
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: having the kid in the crowd that was getting his

79
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: United States Military Academy admission. And I thought, by far

80
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: the most compelling moment of the night the thirteen year

81
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: old kid being named a Secret Service honorary member. Democrats

82
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: didn't stand for any of that, Buck, and I think

83
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: the reason why they did not is their brains are

84
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: broken because they're so concerned about being too conciliatory to

85
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: Trump on social media and getting dragged by whatever left

86
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: wing lunatics are popular on social media that they abandoned

87
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: their basic humanity. I don't care who you are. When

88
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: that thirteen year old kid who survived brain cancer stood

89
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: up and gave a hug to the Secret Service agent,

90
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: you should have almost wanted to cry or cried if

91
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: you are just a basic, normal human being with complete

92
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: control of the normal life. That was a moment where

93
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: it was hard to even if you're a guy, where

94
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: it was hard not to feel a bit emotional and

95
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: buck What stood out to me, maybe most of all,

96
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: I watched that awful You woke up and watched it

97
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 1: this morning, which, by the way, I think is worse

98
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: start off your morning watching Senator. At least I had

99
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: some coffee, I had some rocket to take care of it.

100
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: But what is the number one criticism that you would

101
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: have of Trump if you were a Democrat? Probably that

102
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: he oftentimes behaves in an emotional fashion and isn't always

103
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: acting like an adult. They took the worst criticism they

104
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: have ever had about Trump, you know, leave aside the

105
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: Hitler stuff, but just his deportment right, the way he

106
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: carries himself and they were far worse. And I thought,

107
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: with Slotkin's speech, Buck, we know Trump has men, men, white, Black, Asian, Hispanic.

108
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: The polls are out there, sixty forty approval, fifty seven

109
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: forty three, double digit approval. The younger the men, he's

110
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: got him even more. I thought Trump, actually, Buck really

111
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: did a phenomenal job of connecting with women. And I

112
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: think there were a lot of women out there that

113
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: if you had heard from MSNBC or New York Times

114
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: that this guy's hitler, they were watching and they kept

115
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: waiting for some awful shoe to drop, and he was

116
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: phenomenal the whole way. Last thought, he waited until the

117
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: very end to talk about foreign affairs. I think he

118
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: spoke for the longest ever, one hundred minutes. I think

119
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: was the final tally, longer than anyone ever spoke. Probably

120
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: an hour and a half of that was all American

121
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: focused policies. And then at the very end he talked

122
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: to Ukraine, he talked the Middle East. I thought it

123
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: was a home run. I just I don't know that

124
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: that we have seen a better version of Trump than

125
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: what we saw last night. And I think Democrats are

126
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: starting to panic because they have no answer for him.

127
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: Well, they looked pathetic last night, And I really mean

128
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: that when you have somebody who in the very opening

129
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: is just being flagrantly disrespectful to the President of the

130
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: United stasably. So yes, there's nothing you can say about

131
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: that other than he's acting like a street communist, a

132
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: community organizer. I mean, he was acting like some guy

133
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: from Code Pink who is shrieking in the back of

134
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: a congressional hearing. Except he's a member of Congress and

135
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: this is a joint addressed to Congress. So that's pathetic.

136
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: The little paddles that they held up in the audience

137
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: made them look made them look effeminate and weak and preposterous.

138
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: I mean, the whole thing was an absurdity.

139
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: And on the issue of.

140
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: Women in the narrative right now, and who I think

141
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: is doing a better job or who's in a better

142
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: position with it, we've discussed this. Democrats got a little

143
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: extra boost for themselves because of the fear mongering around

144
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: abortion in the midterms. Right we know that they were

145
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: able to use that to greater effect in the midterms

146
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: in Biden's first after Biden's first couple of years, but

147
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: now it's gone to the states, and Democrat states have incredibly.

148
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 2: I was just in Colorado, which has a just barbaric

149
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 2: abortion law for the state of I mean it is

150
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: all nine months, by the way, it's officially all nine

151
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 2: months of a pregnancy. But the states have been able

152
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: to do what they should have done in the first

153
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 2: place from a constitutional perspective, which has addressed this issue.

154
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: And on the other side of it, Democrats, and this

155
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: came up last night specifically, Democrats are the ones who

156
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: keep saying, I want large, hairy men to be able

157
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: to play against your high school or college aged female athlete,

158
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: daughter or sister. I want that to happen when they

159
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: have somebody the audience who is a female athlete who

160
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: had brain damage, brain damage from the you know, this

161
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: would be like clay if somebody who was twenty was

162
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: on the football field with a kid who's twelve and

163
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: paralyzed him. I mean, everyone think that was a horrible

164
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: and monstrous thing, right, Like, what are you doing as

165
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: a twenty year old playing well? The male female differential

166
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: isn't that far off from that, especially in a contact board,

167
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: and Democrats are all in that. We just saw the

168
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: Senate Senate Democrats all voting against protection for women in sports.

169
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 2: So I think actually the Republicans have the issue that

170
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: they can club the other side with. They can spike

171
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: the volleyball in the face of the Democrats on this one.

172
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: They can go after them in a way that's far

173
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: more aggressive. And I think that the whole thing is

174
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: falling apart for Democrats Alyssa Slotkin. Does anyone think that

175
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: Alissa Slotkin is the future of any party?

176
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: No, she's not.

177
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: She doesn't have the any of the political skills, doesn't

178
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: have the The whole thing is appalling, honestly, And I

179
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: think that we saw last night you got one side

180
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: that wants America to be fantastic and the other side

181
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: just wants to sit and pout and.

182
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Act like children. And if you were watching that, and

183
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: by the way, this is not just our take, sixty

184
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: nine percent of CNN viewers found Trump's speech to be

185
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: very favorable, seventy six percent of CBS News. All of

186
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: the numbers rolling in are rave, And I just Democrats

187
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: could have been somewhat reasonable. They could have clapped for

188
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: a thirteen year old cancer patient who survived. They could

189
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: have clapped for Lake and Riley's mom and sister when

190
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: they were standing, they could have clapped for Joscelyn Nongare

191
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: the or the US Military Academy Cadet all which, by

192
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: the way, the thirteen year old walked over and gave

193
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: him a handshake, which was just perfect and authentic and real.

194
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: And I think, really, what ultimately this comes down to

195
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: is Democrats are supremely fake and also the party of

196
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: super old people. Did you notice, Buck, I think I

197
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: was watching Fox News, but when they panned from our

198
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: friend Riley Games sitting in the upper deck and they

199
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: went straight to Nancy Pelosi and the disconnect as they

200
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: were talking about women in men's sports. The disconnect between

201
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: Riley Games, Riley Gains, young, effervescent, brave, fearless, and Nancy

202
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: Pelosi sort of vacantly chewing on her gums looking lost, was,

203
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: I thought, just a perfect epitomization of how lost Democrats are.

204
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck.

205
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: Steven Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, joins us

206
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: right now. Steven, appreciate you making the time of breaking

207
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: from your twenty one twenty two hour workdays at this

208
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: White House to fill us in on. Well, first, the

209
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 2: aftermath of a highly successful speech. Did it all come

210
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: off as you guys intended, And what should we be

211
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: expecting here in the days ahead.

212
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 4: Well, first, it's great to be back on the air

213
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 4: with you. I think it's the first time I've been

214
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,359
Speaker 4: on the air with you since President Trump was inaugurated

215
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: back into the White House. So it's great to be

216
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 4: on with you. And I enjoyed getting the chance to

217
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 4: come in here many times during the four years between

218
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 4: term one and term two, and very enjoyable to be

219
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 4: here now calling you from the West wing of the

220
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 4: White House. So thank you. The speech last night went

221
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 4: more incredibly than we could have ever even hoped. And

222
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 4: of course we always know that these massive, internationally watched

223
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 4: musty TV events for President Trump are where he truly thrives.

224
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 4: But even by those extremely high standards, this speech exceeded

225
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 4: their expectations. And of course, at the same time, Democrats

226
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: humiliated themselves before that same international viewing audience, behaving in

227
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 4: a way that maybe shocks the conscience of the country.

228
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 4: I mean, it wasn't just it wasn't just disturbing, it

229
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 4: was really profoundly sinister. I mean to not stand in

230
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 4: honor victims and their families who have been murdered by

231
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 4: illegal aliens, to not stand in honor children, A child

232
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 4: thirteen year old who is battling brain cancer who's getting

233
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 4: to live out his dream and become, to his surprise

234
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 4: and honorary Secret Service agent. And to see all of

235
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: the inspiring stories and heroes. And a border agent who

236
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 4: exchanged gunfire with a cartel, a girl who was who

237
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: suffered a severe brandury because she was spiked in the

238
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 4: face by a male athlete. I mean, story after story

239
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 4: of people who overcome hardship adversely unimaginable loss. I was

240
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: there last night. I was stunned. The Democrats didn't stand

241
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: to honor these Americans in their stores.

242
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: What do you attribute that to, Stephen? Do you think?

243
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm curious? I agree with you. I think it was

244
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: the best speech that Trent. Thanks for coming on and

245
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: we're proud of all the work you're doing. I think

246
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: it was the best speech that Trump has ever given

247
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: in his career, not only based on how he did, but.

248
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 4: I agree with you, and I appreciated you, or we

249
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: appreciate you were saying so posting on X last night.

250
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 4: So that's not going to notice.

251
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, well, it's well deserved. You guys are busting

252
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: your ass. And I thought it was a stellar performance

253
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: by Trump, and you guys had weaved so many perfect

254
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: narratives together to give people attention in the gallery there.

255
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: Why do you think Democrats have so lost their way?

256
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: Because leave aside politics, Stephen, it's basic humanity to cheer

257
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: for a thirteen year old who's overcome brain cancer. It's

258
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: basic humanity to cheer for a ninety five year old

259
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: mother who gets her son back from Russian captivity. These

260
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: are not political related concerns. I talk some with people afterwards,

261
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,119
Speaker 1: and they said, the left wing has so taken control

262
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: of social media that all of these Democrats are terrified

263
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: to be seen as in any way applauding anything the

264
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: president does. And also there's a crazy level of groupthink

265
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: that has destroyed them. What do you attribute this to?

266
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: Because it's not normal, it's super weird, and I know

267
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: Tim Wallace tried to say Republicans were weird, but it's

268
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: also profoundly inhumane to me. Leaving aside the politics.

269
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: Oh, you're right, I mean it displays a shocking absence

270
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 4: of humanity. We've got a very fundamental level, at a

271
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 4: human level. You know, you see these you see these

272
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 4: people who have suffered and endured loss and pain that

273
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 4: people can't even imagine. How do you not stand and

274
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: honor them? How do you not show any kind of

275
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 4: respect or decency in that moment? It really does defy

276
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 4: any attempt to describe it or understand it. The presidentship,

277
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: at the beginning of a speech, challenge Democrats too, for

278
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 4: just one night, put aside their own petty and personal

279
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 4: and partisan feelings and celebrate big wins for America. For example,

280
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 4: like you mentioned, getting somebody back who is in who's

281
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 4: improperly detained in Russia to be reunited with their family

282
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 4: would be an example of a big win for America

283
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 4: that everybody should stand up in applause. Or capturing the

284
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 4: terrorists behind the Abbegate murder of thirteen US service members,

285
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 4: these are things that you would think everybody would riotously

286
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 4: applaud because there's such a huge win for the country,

287
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 4: such a huge win for our people. It does defy description.

288
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 4: I would have to say that I think what's happened

289
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 4: is the Democrat Party as an institution has become severely radicalized.

290
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 4: I'm not using that term as an insult, although they

291
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: deserve it. I'm using it clinically. I'm saying they've clinically

292
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 4: become radicalized the way that the closed society or a

293
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 4: cult or or some of the social group does that

294
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 4: lacks any kind of outside input, any kind of exposure

295
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 4: to alternate points of view. And the more time they

296
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 4: spend with each other, and you sort of alluded to

297
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 4: it in their closed social media circle as well too,

298
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 4: the more extreme, the more radical they become, to the

299
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 4: points in which here's a good example, Mark Werner was

300
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 4: on Senator Mark Warner was on TV recently. He accidentally

301
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 4: said something good the day before about President Trump's work

302
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: on the border, and then he went on TV the

303
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: next day to take it back and apologize forever even

304
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 4: implying or suggesting that President Trump had done anything good

305
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 4: on the border. Again, this is the same political party,

306
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: as you know, that is venerated criminals for years and

307
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 4: years and years, that has venerated people who have engaged

308
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: in vivant contact like Black Lives Matter rioters for years.

309
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 4: And they couldn't even stand for the family of Lake

310
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: and Riley, who is barbarically murdered by a legal immigrant

311
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 4: from El Salvador. It really it just it's a crystalizing

312
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: moment in terms of where we are as a country.

313
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 4: We have one political party, the Republicans, led by Donald Trump,

314
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: that is broadly fighting for issues at eighty eighty five

315
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 4: percent of Americans agree on. Then we have another political

316
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 4: party that is lost in the wilderness and has gone

317
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 4: completely mad.

318
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 2: We're speaking to Stephen Miller, White House Deputy chief of Staff,

319
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: and Stephen, give us if you can, I know you can,

320
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: so give us, if you will, a sense of what

321
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: is coming next here on the agenda. We've seen a

322
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: lot of the executive orders. We didn't get to it

323
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 2: earth earlier today, but a federal judge decided that he

324
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 2: could determine on his own that two billion dollars must

325
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: be paid for a usaid contract. Supreme Court five to

326
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: four has come down and is essentially mandating that payment.

327
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 2: So we know that the courts are going to be

328
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: a battleground. What are you expecting with regard to that,

329
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 2: and also what can we expect when it comes to

330
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: immigration enforcement and some of the major operations that have

331
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 2: certainly been hinted.

332
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: At well, I mean the district court judge issue is

333
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 4: a very severe one, perhaps one of the most severe.

334
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 4: So it's important to understand there's seven hundred more or

335
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 4: less district court judges nationwide, or about seven hundred, six

336
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty district court judges nationwide, a larger number

337
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 4: than many tool might imagine. And so when you shoar

338
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 4: the term federal judge and join something, you're talking about

339
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 4: one person from a pool of almost seven hundred, larger

340
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 4: than the number of House Democrats by a significant margins.

341
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 4: For example, a subset of those federal judges are equally

342
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 4: as radical as say al Green who was escorted from

343
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: the chamber last night, or elin Omar or an aoc

344
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 4: et cetera. And so we have a situation now as

345
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 4: a country where again these are people that you know,

346
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 4: Biden or Obama forced through on a party line vote

347
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 4: that got you know, zero national attention, because, let's be honest,

348
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 4: very little national coverage of a you know, a district

349
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 4: court judge being appointed to, say San Francisco. And so

350
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 4: you have a single district court judge that is that

351
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 4: it sort of represents one percent of the American population. Ideologically,

352
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 4: that gets to assert the powers of the presidency for

353
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 4: themselves and says I'm going to be the president. Now,

354
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 4: I'm going to decide what our foreign policy is. I'm

355
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 4: going to decide what foreign aid we're going to fund,

356
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 4: are not going to fund. And it's breathtakingly on constitute.

357
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 4: The founding fathers would have been horrified that anything even

358
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 4: resembling Legs described could happen. And clearly the Supreme Court

359
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 4: is going to need to establish new rules and procedures

360
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 4: for district court injunctions because it deprives the American people

361
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: of their ability to exercise democracy. And there was you

362
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 4: vote for a change in policy, you elect a new president,

363
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 4: you can't have district court judges preventing that president from

364
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 4: executing the policies that he campaigned on. So we're talking

365
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 4: to Stephen git real and a very serious, very direct

366
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 4: threat to democracy and our democratic system of government. And

367
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: clearly there's going to need to be reforms.

368
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: We know that you are walking working, Steven Miller with

369
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: us now White House Deputy Chief of Staff. Ours that

370
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: are probably extraordinary. I know you have three young kids

371
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: as well. I know your wife has also been working

372
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: like crazy. Take it outside of the policy world. For

373
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: a moment. What is your average day like right now?

374
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of parents out there that are have

375
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: serious jobs. What are you doing on a day to

376
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: day basis? What is your day like? And then second

377
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: part of this, and I texted you about this because

378
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: before in the four years when you were on with

379
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: us regularly, we established your affinity for Karate Kid and

380
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: the Cobra Kai series, which I set around on February

381
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: thirteenth and watched with my three boys. Have you had

382
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: any moments of just non work basically since January twentieth,

383
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: or frankly even since November fifth? What's your day to

384
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: day life like right now?

385
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 4: Yes? Well, so, unfortunately I have not had the chance

386
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 4: to watch the last installments, so no spoilers here, please.

387
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: I will your safe for Kai.

388
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 4: Because because I have not that's the back kind of time.

389
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 4: But maybe I'll you will get a chance to catch

390
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 4: an episode here or there in the near future, because

391
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 4: obviously I've invested a lot into the series personally and emotionally,

392
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 4: so I'm definitely going to finish it. But I mean

393
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 4: to answer your other question. Look, when you work in

394
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 4: the in the White House, when you work more specifically

395
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 4: in the West Wing as a senior age of the president.

396
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 4: You know, you're on twenty four seven and so, and

397
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 4: you're on wherever you are. There's no such thing as

398
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 4: being off the clock. The notion of working hours and

399
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 4: non working hours doesn't exist. If you're awake, you're working.

400
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: And frankly so if you're asleep, you're about to be

401
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 4: working because you're gonna get a phone call while you're sleeping.

402
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 4: But that's exactly what we signed up for. That's what

403
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 4: the amact of people expect of us, that's what the

404
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 4: taxpayers expect of us, That's what the president expects of

405
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 4: us are the people who work in these jobs, is

406
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 4: to be on call twenty four to seven and do

407
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 4: everything possible to advance the agenda. And if you look

408
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 4: at the scope and the pace of activity over the

409
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 4: last six weeks, we've the president, President Trump is crammed

410
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 4: eight years of action into six weeks. But even that

411
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 4: understates it, because nay, many president in the last decades

412
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 4: generations who's done anything this good in eight years, let

413
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 4: alone in six weeks. Right. In other words, other presidents

414
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: come in, they just tinker around the edges or make

415
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 4: thing its dramatically worse. We went in under President Trump's

416
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 4: leadership and fundamentally reformed this government at every level in

417
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 4: six weeks. But it's just the beginning, he said last night.

418
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 4: We were just getting started, and you're going to continue

419
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 4: to see a flurry of transformative actions that are going

420
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 4: to change this government forever. They change the America has

421
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 4: been wanting their entire lives, our whole lives. The bureaucracy

422
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 4: has been untouched, unbothered, doing whatever they want to do.

423
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 4: He's imposing democratic control over the bureaucracy, and you're just

424
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 4: seeing the beginning of that effort, completely rewiring our whole

425
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 4: US immigration system to establish a policy of absolutely no

426
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 4: one lawful entry into the United States, combined with the

427
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 4: mass removal of those who are here illegally right now,

428
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 4: and having the military bea at the front and center

429
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 4: of that mission. As we have seen. And by the way,

430
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 4: you and I talked about that, you know, probably a

431
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 4: year maybe more ago, about how central the military is

432
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 4: going to be in this operation, and now you've seen

433
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 4: how true that is. And President Trump is the first

434
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 4: president since Eisenhower to use the military to secure the

435
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 4: homeland of the United States from illegal immigration and on

436
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: issue after issue, You're going to continue to see that

437
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 4: level and scope and pace of change. And so I

438
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 4: would just say, as excited that you've been these last

439
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 4: six weeks, just wait till you see what happened in

440
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 4: the next six weeks.

441
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: Outstanding stuff, Steven Miller. Keep up the good work. I

442
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: hope at some point you get to watch a television

443
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: show to dial back a bit. But we appreciate everything

444
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: you and your family are doing.

445
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 4: Thank you, God blessed. Talk to you soon.
