1
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Well, folks, welcome to Stedgefield.

2
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: President Trump is upping his punishment against Harvard University for

3
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: what not just violations of civil rights, but I would

4
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: say Harvard University is becoming a breeding ground for training

5
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: ung Jie Hottis. Certainly they are terrorizing people on their campus,

6
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: and I think this pro Homas riots that we see

7
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: on not just Harvard's campus, but so many other universities

8
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: is nothing short of despicable. And Harvard wants to push

9
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: back as the federal government says, hey, you got to

10
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: rain this stuff in.

11
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: So what does President Trump do?

12
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: Well, we are now learning today he wants to pull

13
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: is considering it pulling the idea of Harvard taking in

14
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: any more foreign national students, leaving them without the right

15
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 2: to take in these.

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: Foreign nationals as students.

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: This as we are just days away from the IRS

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: deciding whether or not they should pull Harvard's nonprofit status. Now,

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: Harvard has a fifty three billion dollar, yes, billion dollar endowment,

20
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: and somehow the United States government is sending this organization

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: that is literally teaching anti Semitism on campus by its

22
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: allowance of these jew haters, and that's what they are

23
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: to work their evil ways on campus, and so we

24
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: shall see how we're setting up two billion dollars.

25
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: I have no idea that has been pulled.

26
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: Until Harvard complies, we'll see what happens with the irs

27
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: standing and as well as taking in foreign students. Today,

28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: Elizabeth Warren, this is where the Democrats stand on all

29
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: of this.

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: Listen carefully.

31
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: We are not better and stronger because Donald Trump wakes

32
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: up one day and decides he wants to cut that research.

33
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: So I think there's I'm actually very proud of Harvard

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: to stand up and say we're just we're not.

35
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: Going to do it.

36
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 4: But here's.

37
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: You know, you're proud of Harvard for standing up to

38
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: President Trump. I wish I could.

39
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: Say I'm proud of Harvard or any other university for

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: standing up to pro Hamas and lunatics that are terrorizing students.

41
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: That's who Harvard needs to be standing up to, and

42
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: yet they're not. They roll over to the radical left. Well,

43
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: I want to bring in with me now Harvard Law

44
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: Professor emeritus, an author of the new book Preventative State,

45
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: Alan Dershowitz is with us.

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: Professor. It is so good to see you again. Thanks

47
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: for coming on this evening.

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 4: Having me.

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, professor, I've got to ask you. You know

50
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 2: you teach at Harvard, Professor Evertis, what do you make

51
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: of everything going on there?

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: Now?

53
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: I wouldn't everybody.

54
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 5: You imagine, it's the Lenke nineteen fifties and there is

55
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 5: a segregationist school, call it Old Miss, call it University

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 5: of Alabama, and they allow mask Ku Klux Klan people

57
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 5: to harass black students and prevent them from coming to classes.

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 5: They encourage their teachers to teach white supremacy. And the

59
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 5: Justice Department says, you know, maybe we're going to do

60
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 5: something about this. Maybe we'll pull the funding, maybe we'll

61
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 5: start doing investigations.

62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: Every liberal I know would be supporting that.

63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 5: And the only people who would be defending the universities

64
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 5: are segregationists like Governor Wallace, who praised the University of

65
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 5: Alabama and Old Miss from maintaining segregation.

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: And so what's the difference. The only difference is in the.

67
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: Nineteen fifties, it was the clan that was harassing African

68
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: American students. Today it's the variation of the Klan called

69
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 5: Hamas wearing masks that are harassing Jewish students, preventing them

70
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 5: from classes. And teachers who are teaching essentially anti Semitism,

71
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 5: And so the government comes in and says we're going

72
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 5: to condition federal funding. And yet people attack the university saying, oh,

73
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 5: that's a terrible thing to do.

74
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: It interferes with academic freedom.

75
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 5: Well, it wouldn't interfere with academic freedom if you are

76
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 5: protecting blacks and gays and transgenders. It only interferes with

77
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 5: academic freedom if you're defending Jews, and you cannot have

78
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 5: that kind of a double standard. Harvard, in the end

79
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 5: will fold. Why do I think Harvard will fold? Because

80
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 5: it will lose in court, and it will lose in

81
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 5: the court of public opinion. The vast majority of Americans

82
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 5: don't want to give money to a school that is

83
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 5: teaching anti Semitism.

84
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: I want to get to the court case here at

85
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: a minute, but I want to ask you, and I.

86
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: Don't know what the right thing to do is part

87
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: of me is you know what?

88
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: I love that you're a Jewish professor on a campus

89
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: that seems to hate Jews, and you're standing and fighting.

90
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: But if you ever thought, you know what, take my

91
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: fancy title. I'm out of here.

92
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't want any association with Harvard anymore.

93
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 5: I almost did that back in the day when I

94
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 5: was just an assistant professor. I threatened to quit if

95
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 5: Harvard maintained this policy of never allowing a Jew to

96
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 5: be a dean or Jew.

97
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: To be a president of the university. And I got

98
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: them to change their views.

99
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 6: Look.

100
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 5: Remember in the nineteen thirties the president of Harvard welcome

101
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 5: Nazis on the Harvard campus, supported Nazism.

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: Harvard has a terrible, terrible history of.

103
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 5: Anti Semitism, anti Catholicism, anti Christianity. It has a terrible

104
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 5: record of bigotry when it comes to conservatives. It has

105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: become a radical university that is one sided, and it

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 5: will lose in court because nobody is entitled to government funding.

107
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 5: So I think they will settle. Why do I think

108
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 5: they will settle. They're presenting a very strong front. They're saying,

109
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 5: oh my god, we'll never settle. We're going to fight,

110
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 5: We're going to fight. We have Elizabeth Warren on our

111
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 5: side after all. But well, who do they hire as

112
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 5: their lawyers. They hire two Trump lawyers, two people who

113
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 5: have worked for Trump, two people who have worked to

114
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 5: create negotiated resolutions. So I think they're talking out of

115
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 5: both sides of their mouth. Out of one side of

116
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 5: the mouth, they're saying to the faculty and to the

117
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: students and to the radicals, don't worry.

118
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 4: We're going to fight.

119
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 5: On the other side, they're telling you. The Trump people,

120
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 5: don't tell the faculty. But we're here to negotiate, and

121
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 5: we'll work something out. Because many of the things that

122
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 5: the government asked Harvard to do, it should do.

123
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 4: It's the right thing. Some of them go too far,

124
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: and that's why we have negotiation.

125
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 5: So I think in the end this be negotiated in

126
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 5: a way that serves the interests of all sides.

127
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: So President Trump raised the issue on truth social maybe

128
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: we should pull their tax exempt status. He doesn't have

129
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: the power as president to do that. In fact, the

130
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: way I read the law, he's not supposed to even

131
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: talk to the irs about it. He says, Hey, I'm

132
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: just reading about this stuff. I'm not talking to the

133
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: irs about that. Do you think the Eye would be

134
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: well within their bounds to pull tax exempt status from

135
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: Harvard University seeing that Harvard's history recent history here.

136
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: Well, there is a case on point.

137
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 5: There was a Christian university, a small Christian University and

138
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 5: the IRS pulled its tax exemption because it was discriminating

139
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 5: against women and against gays. And so if you can

140
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 5: pull a tax exemption for discrimination against women and gays,

141
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 5: you surely can do it for discrimination against Jews and

142
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: Catholics and others. So there is a legal basis. Look,

143
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 5: Harvard cannot come out of this thing as a winner.

144
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 5: It's losing in the court of public opinion. Americans don't

145
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 5: want their tax money to go to a wealthy school

146
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: that mostly has very, very rich students. It has also

147
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 5: some poor students, some middle class students, but you know,

148
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 5: it's one hundred thousand dollars in tuition.

149
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 4: So they're going to lose in the court of public opinion.

150
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 5: And I think they'll lose at least some of their

151
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 5: cases in the court of law. So if I were

152
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 5: Harvard's and I'm not, I would say, let's go to

153
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 5: the bargaining table. Let's negotiate, let's accept some of the provisions,

154
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 5: let's fight about some of the provisions, and let's see

155
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 5: if we can compromise.

156
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: All Right, last question for you, So I'll take it

157
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: as a no that you're not going to leave Harvard

158
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: in disgust.

159
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: Are they at least listening to you at all, Professor.

160
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 5: Not only that, but I've been an emeritus for eleven years.

161
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 5: I was one of the most popular teachers ever at Harvard.

162
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 5: I taught ten thousand students. Harvard has never invited me

163
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: back in the last eleven years. They have essentially prohibited

164
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 5: me from speaking and making a moderate pro Israel case.

165
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 5: They do not want to hear all sides of all issues.

166
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: Today. Harvard would not even allow the Lincoln.

167
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 5: Douglas debates, and so no, no, I'm not being listened

168
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 5: to at Harvard, and the students aren't being given an

169
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 5: opportunity even to hear my point of view. I have

170
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 5: offered to come to Harvard and talk about my new

171
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 5: book you mentioned at the Preventish State.

172
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 4: I asked to speak to the FATA about this book. No,

173
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 4: they didn't invite me.

174
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 5: I asked to speak to the student body about Israel.

175
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 4: No they didn't invite me.

176
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 5: Harvard has become a place where only one side of

177
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 5: ideological and political issues. Ninety five percent of the Harvard

178
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 5: faculty are anti Trump and anti Republican and anti conservative,

179
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 5: and so no, it's not an educational institution. It's a

180
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 5: platform from propaganda.

181
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: Well, but I still appreciate your It should.

182
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 4: Have research money.

183
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 5: It shouldn't deny money for research on cancer and objective

184
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 5: things of that.

185
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 4: When it comes to some aeriel. Oh, federal government shouldn't

186
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 4: be funding that.

187
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 2: Well, I of course appreciate your voice on this, Professor Dersher,

188
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: which is always good to see you. I'm always grateful

189
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: when you spent some time with me here, and again,

190
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: thank you for coming on in the new book Preventative State.

191
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: Good luck with that.

192
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: Urage everybody to go out and get it, like all

193
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: your other books, professor, thank.

194
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 4: You, Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

195
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 2: Absolutely is good seeing you again too. All Right, folks,

196
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: I want to turn now to well. To me are

197
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: two absolutely disgusting stories, both coming out of Dallas. Both

198
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: involved young seventeen year old well accused criminals.

199
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way.

200
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: First off, let's start with Carmelo Anthony. This is the

201
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: black team who was accused of stabbing a white football

202
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: star at a track meet in the chest and killing

203
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: that football star. Anthony says it was self defense. Well,

204
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: today they held their first news conference. Now I'm not

205
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: quite sure why they're even holding a news conference. Now,

206
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: you think you'd want to keep your head low and

207
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: let the courts do their thing. But they hired a

208
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: Black Lives Matter activist from the Next Generation Action Network.

209
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: I've known this guy a long time. His name is

210
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: Dominique Alexander.

211
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: He's got a criminal history, including shaking a baby that

212
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: he was charged with. And what do they do The

213
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: victims father, Austin Metcalf's father, Jeff Metcalf, showed up to

214
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: this news conference and they had him kicked out.

215
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: They didn't just ask him to leave.

216
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: They told him he would be charged with trespassing if

217
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: he didn't leave the property. Now, a victim's father has

218
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: a right to hear this news conference.

219
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: You don't kick a victim's father out.

220
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: This from a family that has raised almost half.

221
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: A million dollars.

222
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: Now, who is sending money to a man that now

223
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: admits that he killed this guy self defense or not.

224
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: I don't buy that personally. Well, let a jury figure

225
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: that out. They move into a nine hundred thousand dollars house,

226
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm told by the Dallas Morning News, potentially buying a

227
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: new car that in the Dallas Express, and they kicked

228
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: the father out to me. It is absolutely disgusting. And

229
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: what does this Black Lives Matter leader have to say

230
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: about it?

231
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 7: Listen to this that was disrespectful and just shows you all.

232
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: The character.

233
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 4: Who is not invited.

234
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 7: He knows that is inappropriate to be near this family,

235
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 7: but he did. And so I say to people, actions

236
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 7: speak louder than words.

237
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: Okay, mona scratcher off, I'm not seconds worth. You want

238
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: to talk about character, your client or whatever. He is

239
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: stabbed a seventeen year old in the heart and he

240
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: died in his twin brother's arms, and you're talking about character.

241
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,479
Speaker 2: Since when do accused murderers become victims in America?

242
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 8: Oh?

243
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: I forgot.

244
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: I hate to break the news to everybody, but for

245
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: some reason, in the minority communities, somehow, when you commit

246
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: a crime, you're now a victim. To me, it's an

247
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: absolute outrage. And then I see this you probably heard

248
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: when it happened, the shooting at Wilma Hutchins High School

249
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: just south of Dallas. Seventeen year old goes in, shoots

250
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: four kids, four kids, Thankfully all of.

251
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: Them are going to live. Okay.

252
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 2: He escapes and turns himself into cops, and he shakes

253
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: hands with the cops. The cops. It's like a hero's welcome.

254
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: This is like a celebrity event or something outside the

255
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: Dallas County jail. We've lost our minds in this county

256
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: roll it.

257
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 4: Get him.

258
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 2: I got him, he says, I got him, after shaking

259
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 2: all the hands like it's some kind of a celebrity.

260
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: I'm told they hired a social media expert for all

261
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: of this. Since when is turning your son into the

262
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 2: police for attempted murder mean that it should be a

263
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: social media viral event?

264
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: My lord, what is happening in this country?

265
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if this kid thinks she's going to

266
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: raise all kinds of money on gofund me as.

267
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: Well after trying to shoot four kids in school.

268
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: Well joining me now is the executive director of the Victims'

269
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: Rights Reform Council. She's been on the program before. She

270
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: fights for victims' rights. Her name is Jennifer Harrison. Jennifer,

271
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: welcome to the program. I'm sorry, I'm getting upset.

272
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 9: No, I don't blame you. Thank you. Everybody should be

273
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 9: as infuriated as you are.

274
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: Jennifer, let me ask you. Let's go back to the

275
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: original story. They kicked the victim's father out.

276
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: Of a news conference. What in the world are they thinking?

277
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 10: I don't know, to be honest with you, Grant, I mean,

278
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 10: we live in a completely upside down world, and you know,

279
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 10: unfortunately you and I have been talking about this for.

280
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 6: A very long time.

281
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 9: But Carmelo Anthony is not the victim here.

282
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 10: And you know, Austin Metcalf's father has displayed nothing but

283
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 10: grace and humanity throughout an entirely disgusting and horrifying situation

284
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 10: for his family. He even went so far as to

285
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 10: publicly forgive Carmelo Anthony.

286
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 9: So I don't understand what they're talking about.

287
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 6: Character.

288
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 10: And for this family to display so grotesquely, you know,

289
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 10: portraying that their son, who we know, we know because

290
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 10: he admitted it, intentionally stuck a knife into another child

291
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 10: and took his life. To portray themselves as the victims

292
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 10: today is just absolutely disgusting. I just don't understand what

293
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 10: this world is coming to, and then to try and profit.

294
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 4: Off of it.

295
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: Look, I'm going to tell you, I know for a fact,

296
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: if it was a white kid that went and sat

297
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: on the tent of a mostly black team and the

298
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: black kids ask the white kid to move and the

299
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: white kids stabbed the black kid in the heart. There

300
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: would be no donations on GoFundMe from a mostly leftist

301
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: group to support Austin Metcalf, and there shouldn't be. You

302
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: don't donate to people who's put a knife in someone

303
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: for in my opinion, no reason. He says, self defense.

304
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: I say it's too much. You should never bring a

305
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: knife to a track meet. Now let me bring you

306
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: to the other situation. Why are police If we can

307
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: roll the video guys of Cut.

308
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: Nineteen, we don't need to hear it.

309
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: But if you go to roll it while we say this,

310
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: why are police shaking hands?

311
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: We haven't cut excuse me not Cut nineteen. It's the

312
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: video of the shaking hands of police.

313
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: Why are police shaking hands with an accused school shooter?

314
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 6: I don't no grant.

315
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 10: I mean, like I said, the world has just turned

316
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 10: completely upside down. I think it's just ever since George

317
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 10: Floyd and the BLM and that whole movement, which you know,

318
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 10: glorified criminals. And I mean, I don't know how we

319
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 10: go back if this is where we are now. You know,

320
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 10: sadly these people are thinking of themselves as heroes. There's

321
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 10: no amount of respect or humanity on the streets anymore.

322
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 10: And you know, these these kids think that they're going

323
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 10: to be superstars if they kill somebody when they're disrespected

324
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 10: on you know, in school or on the field or whatever.

325
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 10: And this is the world we live. And meanwhile, you know,

326
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 10: my organization, as you know, tries to save lives.

327
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 9: We try to save lives.

328
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 10: Of victims of domestic violence and get them out of

329
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 10: you know, endangering situations. We try to save children from

330
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 10: child abuse. And we can't even raise ten thousand dollars,

331
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 10: but these cold blooded killers are raising five hundred thousand.

332
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 10: I mean, I just I don't. If you can explain it,

333
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 10: I would be happy to listen.

334
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: You you're a crime victim basically yourself, and we won't

335
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: go into that story, but I'd like you to do this.

336
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: You give me the website.

337
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 2: Maybe somebody out there will help donate to the Victims'

338
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: Rights Reform Council so you can help people instead of

339
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: go fundme pages for accused murderers. What's the website, Jennifer.

340
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 10: Thank you so much, Grant. It's Victims Rights Reform Council

341
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 10: dot org.

342
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 2: All right, Victims Rights Reform Council dot org. It's a

343
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: great organization. I've been talking to you, Jennifer for a

344
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: long time. I appreciate you coming on tonight and talking

345
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 2: with me about this.

346
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 10: I appreciate you and all of your support over the years.

347
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 10: And please don't give up, don't don't start, you know,

348
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 10: getting a keep the fight up, and don't don't be

349
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 10: complacent when this stuff comes because unless we stop, keep.

350
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 9: Talking about it and get fired up the way that you.

351
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 6: Have, it's not going to end.

352
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jennifer, you know me.

353
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: We're never backing down that that's not going to happen.

354
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,479
Speaker 2: Let me play one more clip from here. This basically

355
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: sums up the whole situation of how bad things are

356
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 2: cut twenty. These were kids in class when the shooting

357
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: unfolded at Wilmer Hutchins. Okay, they're desensitized to violence, folks,

358
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: totally desensitized to this.

359
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: Watch that's a little gun.

360
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 6: Idiot.

361
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: You hear gunshots and you don't move.

362
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: You're that desensitized, You're that immune to this.

363
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: It's dangerous.

364
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: But the media, society, the place they live, gunshots of

365
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: the norm.

366
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: Now, I guess even in school not a good situation.

367
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: All right, Are high prescription drug prices going to be

368
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: the norm?

369
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 11: Now?

370
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: Wall Street journals reporting are tariffs on China could reach

371
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 2: two hundred and forty five percent. You know, I've got

372
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 2: this prescription drug kit from.

373
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: The Wellness Company.

374
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: I've got a number of these kits because I think

375
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 2: what is going to happen if prescription drug prices are

376
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 2: going to go through the roof? Why? Because China says

377
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: they're shutting the entire operation down. TWC dot Health forward

378
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: slash rav by the way, to get one of these

379
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: TWC dot Health forward slash voice. Excuse me, forward slash

380
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: voice to get one of these kits. They say they're

381
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: going to ramp up and shut down sending us anything China.

382
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: We get eighty five percent of the ingredients for our

383
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 2: prescription medications from China.

384
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 1: What is that going to do to us?

385
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: I want to bring in with me now the chief

386
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: of Disaster and Emergency Medicine for the Wellness Company, doctor

387
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 2: Kelly Victory, is here. Doctor Victory, welcome to the program.

388
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me. As always, Grant, all.

389
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: Right, you brought this to my attention.

390
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: You've been screaming about this for a long time and

391
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: letting people in high places know about this. We are

392
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: going to be at the mercy of China when it

393
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 2: comes to sscription medication, are we not?

394
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 6: Absolutely? This was a predictable event, Grant.

395
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 12: I've been talking and writing about this for well more

396
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 12: than a decade. Our over reliance on China for pharmaceuticals

397
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 12: represents one of, if not our greatest national security threat.

398
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 12: Americans have become addicted to low cost products, and this

399
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 12: problem with pharmaceuticals began with the Department of Defense outsourcing

400
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 12: the contracts for those prescriptions required by our military to China.

401
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 12: China was able to undercut the cause or the price

402
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 12: of American manufacturers, and therefore those contracts went to the Chinese.

403
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 6: As you stated.

404
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 12: Correctly, we now get eighty five to ninety percent of

405
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 12: all pharmaceuticals or their active ingredients come from China. We

406
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 12: are talking about relying on our greatest geopolitical foe to

407
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 12: get the medications that we need for everyday things from

408
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 12: high blood to diabetes. And it is one thing to

409
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 12: talk about buying a babble for your garden from China

410
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 12: or a T shirt that's cheap, but the idea of

411
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 12: buying your blood pressure medications or your child's diabetes medications

412
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 12: is ridiculous. All it would take is for the Chinese

413
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 12: to either jack the prices up exponentially, cut off the

414
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 12: supply entirely, or God forbid, taint the supply contaminated, and

415
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 12: we would be in a world of hurt. And now

416
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 12: we find ourselves with these tariffs, which I happen to

417
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 12: Holy support.

418
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 6: It is the right thing.

419
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 12: To do to bring manufacturing back to the United States,

420
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 12: but it won't happen overnight with pharmaceuticals, so we have

421
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 12: got to look at other options. What we can do

422
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 12: to sem the interim until we are able to get

423
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 12: that manufacturing happening back here on US soil.

424
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 2: So I guess the most important question is, yes, you

425
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: can get a kid or two or three or four

426
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: from the wellness company tw's dot hell forward slash voice

427
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: and urge people to do it. Use promo code voice

428
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 2: for ten percent off. But at some point, what are

429
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 2: we going to do? How do we ramp up production

430
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: here in the United States when we're getting ingredients from China?

431
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 2: China says, you know what, no more? Do we run

432
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: out of prescription medications?

433
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 12: Well in the interim, I would suggest in addition to

434
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 12: getting the emergency kits, we've got quite a number of

435
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 12: them at the Wellness Company. You can look at the

436
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 12: various contents of each of them and decide which one

437
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 12: is best for you. I also recommend that people get

438
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 12: an extra supply of their routine medications, blood pressure medications,

439
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 12: asthma medications. You can go to your insurance company and

440
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 12: request a vacation refill, meaning to buy a month or

441
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 12: two ahead and have that already in your possession.

442
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 6: It's just rational readiness.

443
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 12: In the meantime, I believe that we've got to incentivize

444
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 12: the refurbishment of our moribund manufacturing capability in the US.

445
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 12: We had those abilities previously, and we can do it again.

446
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 6: It won't happen overnight.

447
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 12: It can take two to three years to get a

448
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 12: pharmaceutical factory up and going. The last one that made,

449
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 12: for example, something as simple as a moxacillin in this

450
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 12: country was bankrupted back in two thousand and four. Our

451
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 12: last manufacturing facility that made sterile saline was wiped out

452
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 12: in Puerto Rico by Hurricane Marie. I mean, this can't happen.

453
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 12: We've got to do this back in the US.

454
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: Well Kelly Victory, I will tell you it's a great warning,

455
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 2: and I hope leaders of this country are listening to us,

456
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: and I hope some entrepreneurs are out there listening to

457
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 2: us to ramp up the production of this stuff. There's

458
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: going to be millionaires made off of this. And you

459
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: know what, I don't care about that your millionaires made

460
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 2: off of this, and we're going to help make us

461
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: secure as a nation. I'm one hundred percent all for it,

462
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: Doctor Victory. Let me tell people how they can find

463
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 2: you and the Wellness Company, and I want people to

464
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 2: go to TWC dot org, health Forward, slash voice, use

465
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: that promo code voice for ten percent off.

466
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: Those kits are great and uptown you.

467
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: Now more than ever, you'd want to have one of

468
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: those kits in your.

469
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: Household to keep your family safe.

470
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 2: All right, Folks, With tariff fears affecting markets, many are

471
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: worried about their portfolios.

472
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: But there's good news.

473
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: President Trump exempted gold and silver from tariffs, so you

474
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: can still protect it with your savings with precious medals.

00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,359

Speaker 1: I trust Birch.

481
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: Gold because it's got an eight plus rating for the

482
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 2: Better Business Bureau. And it is time you did to

484
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: No obligation, only information, all right. As China play is

485
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: hardball over tariffs, American businessmen are making moves to take

486
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: control of TikTok, the governor of South Dakota and a

487
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: great entrepreneur. Up next, Welcome back everyone. I know many

488
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: of you out there love TikTok. I actually use TikTok

489
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: even though they kicked me off like twice. So now

490
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 2: my TikTok handle is not Grant Stinchfield thinking I can

491
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: trick them into letting me survive on that platform for

492
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 2: a little while. But I use a burner phone because

493
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 2: I don't trust TikTok. I don't trust what they're doing.

494
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: I think they are spying on American citizens, so I

495
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 2: use a separate phone.

496
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: Look, I've got two here, all right, both of.

497
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile, but this one sits in my office only

498
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: for TikTok.

499
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: This is the one I carry around with me. So

500
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: what are we going to do if TikTok doesn't get

501
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: sold to an American company soon?

502
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: President Trump can keep postponing this, but I don't know

503
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: how long this is going to happen. Well, I want

504
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 2: to bring in now South Dakota Governor Republican Larry Rodin

505
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: and the Wyoming entrepreneur looking to purchase TikTok. He's got

506
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 2: virtually a fifty billion dollar bid in Red Rasder. We've

507
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: had him on before. Reid, Governor, it's great to have

508
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: you both on the program.

509
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: Governor, I want to start with you.

510
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 2: South Dakota is taking an active role in Reid's bid here.

511
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: Why how can South Dakota help?

512
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 11: Well, you know, for a lot of reasons.

513
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 13: You know, South Dakota is kind of cybersecurity has been

514
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 13: at the forefront in South Dakota.

515
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 11: We're a huge egg state.

516
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 13: And the Nome Road Administration, former Governor Nome we announced

517
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 13: a year and a half ago that cybersecurity was our

518
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 13: next big industry. So we've focused a lot on technology

519
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 13: and we brought a lot of business to the state.

520
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 13: We have a lot of things going for South Dakota

521
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 13: and I think Reid has recognized that, and I think

522
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 13: that we've positioned ourselves better than any other state in

523
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 13: the nation to be a perfect fit for an American

524
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 13: owned TikTok to land inside to go to them.

525
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: All Right, So, read, I've talked to you about this before.

526
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: You're my favorite for the pick because I know you

527
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: think a lot like I think, and I really don't

528
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 2: trust Bezos over at Amazon and some of the other

529
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: characters that want to purchase TikTok and make it even worse.

530
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: How is this big going? Are you talking with TikTok?

531
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: Are you talking with the Trump administration?

532
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 14: Yeah, So we've been in communication with ByteDance and with

533
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 14: the administration from early on, and from the beginning, we've

534
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 14: said that this is going to be a massive footprint

535
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 14: in these mountain Midwest states, and we are so proud

536
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 14: that Governor Rodin has joined Team Raisner and is truly

537
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 14: leading the charge in the Mountain with Midwest states to

538
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 14: advance the technology and bring a trillion dollar industry and

539
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 14: a trillion dollar footprint throughout these Midwestern flyover states they

540
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 14: call us. It's going to secure the future of TikTok,

541
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 14: and we're excited the conversation is going good.

542
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 4: There's a lot of.

543
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 14: Geopolitical tensions, but that's out of our control.

544
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 11: We're focused on the.

545
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 14: Business and we're ready to sign the deal and get

546
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 14: this across the finish line.

547
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 11: Byte Edance is there with us too.

548
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 4: I'm pretty confident, all.

549
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: Right, So, Governor, a lot of this when you talk

550
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: about the electric power, especially with AI. Now, I'm not

551
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: sure TikTok's in that game. Read you may get into

552
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: that game. I'll ask you about that. But the energy capacity.

553
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: Your state is an energy state? Am I right on that?

554
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: Yes?

555
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 4: I believe so.

556
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 13: We kind of lead nations as far as a production

557
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 13: on a lot of fronts. We've focused on renewable energy,

558
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 13: and we of course we have a huge amount of

559
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 13: hydro electric capacity in South Dakota. Number of data centers

560
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 13: have been very serious about moving into South Dakota because

561
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 13: of the resources that we can bring to bear.

562
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 2: All Right, Reid, let me ask you about TikTok and

563
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: your plans if you were able to take it over.

564
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: I just mentioned I've been kicked off of.

565
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: There like twice now, and I'm very careful about what

566
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 2: I post.

567
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: It Really, quite frankly, is a nightmare.

568
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: It's still very very biased towards conservatives. What is your

569
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 2: plan as far as that platform and opening it up

570
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: to all kinds of thought.

571
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 14: Yeah, so we're going to protect the First Amendment and

572
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 14: it is going to be a censorship free platform. You're

573
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 14: going to be able to speak freely on TikTok. It's

574
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 14: your first Amendment for a reason. In fact, when we

575
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 14: get this, I bet Governor Rodin will have us out

576
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 14: to Mount Rushmore and we can have a freedom of

577
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 14: speech big TikTok live with all of America, fireworks going,

578
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 14: and we can really set this thing off and make

579
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 14: it a big event for all of America. You'll get

580
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 14: your accounts back, I can promise you that. And there's

581
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 14: some really great things happening with AI Quantum Computing, and

582
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 14: we're excited to team with South Dakota. They're electrical, their

583
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 14: database centers and everything happening in that state. And we're

584
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 14: so excited for Governor Roadin. He's truly part of the

585
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 14: vision and part of the visionaries that are leading the

586
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 14: charge for these states. And when I talk about a

587
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 14: trillion dollar industry, the footprint is going to be massive,

588
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 14: and we are so happy that he has recognized this

589
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 14: and step forward as a leader for the Mountain West

590
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 14: States to lead the charge.

591
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: All right, Governor, I know you've been outspoken about the

592
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: need for free speech in this country. You have your

593
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: counterpart in California where a lot of these tech companies

594
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: are based, that literally was working with the FBI, working

595
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: with tech companies to shut down I'm talking about Gavin Newsom,

596
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: of course, to shut down conservative thought and conservative speech.

597
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: From South Dakota's perspective, from your perspective of governor, how

598
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: do you push free speech? Partnering with TikTok and getting

599
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: South Dakota and that just you know, infusion of freedom

600
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: that that state breathes.

601
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: They're involved in all of this. Yeah, well, you know.

602
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 13: It makes me smile because I've said it many times

603
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 13: without reservation. South Dakota is the free estate and a

604
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 13: nation founded on the principles of freedom. And I think

605
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 13: we've not just talked to talk, we walked the walk.

606
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 13: And for me, this is exciting to me because I

607
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 13: think it would just be poetic.

608
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 11: See, it was a year and a half ago that

609
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 11: former governor known banned.

610
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 13: TikTok in South Dakota. We were the first state to

611
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 13: do that, to ban the Communists owned TikTok. How fitting

612
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 13: would it be for an American owned TikTok that believes

613
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 13: in conservative values and understands where our rights, liberties and

614
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 13: freedoms come from. How fitting would it be for them

615
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 13: to land in a state like South Dakota. I think

616
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 13: would be very I would I.

617
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: Would love to see it happen.

618
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: I like the both of you, and I think it

619
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: would whatever freshing one to eighty from where TikTok is

620
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: now read. I guess I'll ask you the last question.

621
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: Your bid is, am I right? At fifty billion dollars?

622
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 2: How does that compare to the others that are own

623
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: money around? And where do you see this going? I'll

624
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: give you the last word.

625
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, we are twenty billion dollars higher. We are the

626
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 14: canyon a park. There is so much space between us,

627
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 14: higher than any other bid. And what makes us the

628
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 14: most American and as President Trump actually truth social doubt,

629
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 14: the most Trumpian offer is that we're going to develop

630
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 14: the Sovereign Wealth Fund. I'm calling it the Freedom Fund

631
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 14: for President Trump to establish that legacy, and we're going

632
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 14: to create a fourth legacy industry across these Midwestern and

633
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 14: Mountain West states. That's truly going to be remarkable creating

634
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 14: what is a fourth legacy industry, stabilizing these economies finally,

635
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 14: So get out there and make your voice heard and

636
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 14: tell President Trump and Vice President Vance that this deal

637
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 14: needs to go through. We need to save TikTok and

638
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 14: make it American owned and protect the user's data. These

639
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 14: are American people's data, and it's pure espionage at this point,

640
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 14: is what's happening. But we are the greatest American first

641
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 14: and the biggest offer out there. We've raised a lot

642
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 14: of money and we're ready to ink a deal. And

643
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 14: I think Byte dances at the table with us. So

644
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 14: truly China needs to get to the table and figure

645
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 14: something out soon.

646
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 2: Well, I would like nothing more than not only get

647
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 2: my old account back, but take this phone and get

648
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 2: the TikTok from this phone onto this phone that I

649
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 2: carry around with me all the time. And I know

650
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 2: that'll happen the moment that you guys take over. Governor Rohta,

651
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 2: it's a great pleasure having you on the program. I

652
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 2: appreciate you sharing time with us. Red raise their thank

653
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: you and good luck on the bid. We wish you

654
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: all the lucky. Please keep us posted to both of you. Absolutely,

655
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: thank you, all right, thank you, thank you guys. All

656
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 2: right up next, folks, West Virginia is leveraging their energy base.

657
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: We could have had like an.

658
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: Energy off between the South Dakota governor and a senator

659
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 2: from West Virginia about who's got the best energy. I'll

660
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 2: tell you if both states are doing it really well,

661
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 2: West Virginia specifically when it comes to coal and again

662
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence in the news, we're going to talk about

663
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: that next.

664
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everyone, Welcome to the program.

665
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 2: President Trump today making a declaration against China when it

666
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: comes to artificial intelligence.

667
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

668
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 15: To remain number one in AI, we're gonna have to

669
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 15: develop our electricity from take our whole country. We're gonna

670
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 15: have to develop our electricity. Think of that, and probably

671
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 15: even triple it up. And we're gonna let them build

672
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 15: their own electric plants. With their plant that they're building

673
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 15: for the AI or whatever they're doing never been done before.

674
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 4: We're gonna get them quick approvals.

675
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 15: It's gonna be very clean, gonna be very nice, and

676
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 15: we're gonna get a very fast approvals.

677
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: I'll tell you there's something else. You need electricity for

678
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 2: bitcoin mining. These are the two big tech industries right now.

679
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 2: When you talk to crypto current mining and AI, you

680
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: need electricity and you need a lot of it. Who

681
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: has the ability to generate electricity? How about West Virginia.

682
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be great to bring back West Virginia's coal

683
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 2: miners and the coal industry Right now that industry is

684
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: virtually dead starting a resurrection with President Trump's executive orders

685
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 2: to unleash the coal industry.

686
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: I want to bring in now.

687
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: West Virginia State Senator Republican chairman of the West Virginia

688
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: Energy Industry and Mining Committee, Chris Rose is with us.

689
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: Senator, it's great to have you back on the program.

690
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 11: Thank you, Graham. It's good to be back.

691
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: All right.

692
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: So, look, President Trump has some plans to unleash coal.

693
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: I love, I loved.

694
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: I used to have a hat that said count on Coal,

695
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 2: and I'd trigger all the left when i'd wear that around.

696
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: But I love that hat because you can count on it.

697
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 2: West Virginia's taking some big steps to follow in President

698
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: Trump's follow his lead.

699
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: Here, can you tell us what you all are doing?

700
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 8: Absolutely, it's the first and foremost I have I had

701
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 8: very similar to what you're talking about, actually says make

702
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 8: coal great again, and West Virginia's took some great strides

703
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 8: of this session to do that. So House Bill twenty fourteen,

704
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 8: which we know as the Microgrid and Data Center Bill,

705
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 8: is actually unleashing West Virginia energy and also attracting data

706
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 8: centers and microgrids here to West Virginia because these data

707
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 8: centers consume enormous amounts of electricity and they have interest

708
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 8: in West Virginia coal gas and water to do that.

709
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 8: They pull and a gas for the generation source and

710
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 8: the water for pooling, and those are three things that

711
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 8: West Virginia is abundant in and we just passed to

712
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 8: build with a huge help from our governor and a

713
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 8: lot of the people in the Senate work together to

714
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 8: get this thing done so West Virginia can be the

715
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 8: data center hope for the United States and help President

716
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 8: Trump win this war with China to be the technological

717
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 8: superpower of the future.

718
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: All Right, how was the coal industry doing? Will it

719
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 2: take a while to ramp it back up? I use

720
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 2: the example I vacation sometimes on the Tennessee River, and

721
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: I love it it's a beautiful place. It used to

722
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,479
Speaker 2: be filled with coal barges. Last summer I was there.

723
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, I maybe saw one in three days.

724
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 2: How's the coal industry doing it in West Virginia.

725
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 11: We're starting to see an uptick. You know.

726
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 8: We've worked at the Trump administration in his Department of

727
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 8: Energy to increase some export sales to India. Domestic use

728
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 8: is going to take a couple of years to get

729
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 8: consumption up as we you know, you see with the

730
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 8: executive orders the coal plants coming back online, keeping the

731
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 8: other ones open, but also for these microgrids to be built.

732
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 11: It's going to take a couple of years.

733
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 8: But in the meantime he's been doing a phenomenal job

734
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 8: setting us up with a lot of our allies that

735
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 8: consume more West Virginia and America coal.

736
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 11: So under Trump administration.

737
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 8: And hopefully in twenty twenty eight, you know Vice President Advance,

738
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 8: when he becomes president, we can continue this on and

739
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 8: revive coal.

740
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 11: Is we finally have a president who is endo the

741
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 11: war on coal.

742
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 2: Look, I want to burn coal in a clean fashion

743
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: just as much as anybody does, and I think that's important.

744
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: Can you produce electricity for as cheap as you could

745
00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 2: with coal, with clean coal technology and instituting that is

746
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: this a legitimate thing?

747
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 9: Now?

748
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: Is the technology they are to do this?

749
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 8: So I would argue that technology is already there with

750
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 8: the modern day scrubbers that the coal fire generation fleet

751
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 8: in the United States already has. If you was to

752
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 8: shut all of that off today like a light switch,

753
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 8: it would make zero measurable difference in the entire world's emissions.

754
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 11: So you know, the climate change thing is a hoax.

755
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 11: All this.

756
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 8: You know that the coal plants are dirty as a hoax.

757
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 8: West Virginia and the United States already has the cleanest

758
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 8: coal fired power generation in the world, is the most

759
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 8: affordable and reliable, and these data centers are coming here

760
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 8: because of that.

761
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 11: We're going to see micro grids actually use coal.

762
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 8: We're going to see some new coal fired generation being

763
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 8: built onto the grid because everyone knows it's the most

764
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 8: affordable and reliable electricity. And the days of subsidizing unaffordable

765
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 8: and unreliable Green New Deal is over all.

766
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: Right, You've been a big part of pushing this. You're

767
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 2: a big make America great again guy. I know you're

768
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: a big Trump supporter. There have been those in West

769
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 2: Virginia that come after you with a vengeance for some reason.

770
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 2: I know West Virginia is a conservative state.

771
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: Are they still coming after You're going to be able

772
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: to get this stuff through?

773
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 8: Well, of course the other side are never going to stop,

774
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 8: but neither of We have to get it through because

775
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 8: we have to deliver for West Virginia. We have to

776
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 8: get these coal miners back to work, these gas workers

777
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 8: to work. We have the greatest resources here in the country,

778
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 8: right here in West Virginia.

779
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 11: We have the greatest workers, and.

780
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 8: We're not going to wow these special interest groups and

781
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 8: the Green New Deal lobby and stand in our way,

782
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 8: and we're absolutely going to deliver for President and Trump.

783
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 2: Lastly, how helpful was his executive order last week to

784
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: start to.

785
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: Unleash this.

786
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 4: All.

787
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 11: It was phenomenal.

788
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 8: It's been a shot in the arm that our industry

789
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 8: has been waiting for for the last two decades. We

790
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 8: lived through the Obama war on coal and the Biden administration.

791
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 11: These executive orders.

792
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 8: These co producers are coal miners, they're pumped, they're stoked.

793
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 8: They're rallying behind our president, the greatest president of our lifetime,

794
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 8: and we.

795
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 11: Are ready to help him make America great again.

796
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,920

801
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 2: what this country was built on. You go talk to

802
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 2: coal miners. I've talked to them many times in western Pennsylvania.

803
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 2: I've talked to them in West Virginia. I've talked to

804
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 2: them in parts of Ohio. This these folks are what

805
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 2: make America great. They really are. And I'm glad to

806
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 2: see that we're going to get these plants back fired up,

807
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 2: ready to go and get America back on track. Finally,

808
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 2: thank you, President Trump. All right, if you are at

809
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 2: risk of missing today's deadlines, it today, Oh my gosh,

810
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 2: it is. If you are at risk of missing today's

811
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 2: deadline to file your taxes, you need to listen up.

812
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 2: Wait a second, it's not today. It was April fifteenth,

813
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: wasn't it. Unless there was a delay. You're already late, folks.

Speaker 2: All right, the Kilmar Abrego saga continues.

826
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: Yes, this is the.

827
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 2: El Salvadorian MS thirteen gang member that the Left wants

828
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 2: to make out to be some kind of hero.

829
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: We dig into that more next. Welcome back here. But

830
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.

831
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,959
Speaker 2: The Democrats really know how to pick poster boys, don't they.

832
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 2: Let's pick an MS thirteen gang member who beats his wife,

833
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 2: has numerous traffic tickets stuck into the country and the

834
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 2: lord knows what else. Let's pick him to fight for. Well,

835
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 2: CNN had his attorney on, of course. I'm talking about

836
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 2: Abrego Garcia, the man Trump deported to El Salvador.

837
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 12: This is his attorney, and do you dispute his alleged

838
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 12: ties to m S thirteen.

839
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 16: I mean absolutely, you know, he has not been found

840
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 16: guilty of anything.

841
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 6: He has no criminal history.

842
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 11: The government's own records show.

843
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: That, I don't know.

844
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 2: He's stuck into the country illegally. Okay, so he does

845
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: have a criminal history. You see, he came across the

846
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: border without telling anybody.

847
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: That's a crime. I hate to break the news to her.

848
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 2: There's also a restraining order against him for beating his wife.

849
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 2: He was kicked out of the house not to have

850
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 2: any contact with her. Now she's begging that he comes back.

851
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 2: And then there's all the police reports of being picked

852
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: up associating himself with MS thirteen gang members. That to

853
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 2: me is criminal history. Whether she wants to believe it

854
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 2: or not.

855
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: She goes on.

856
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 16: I also want to mention this Circuits decision saying, you know,

857
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 16: the government asserts that Abrigo Arsia is a terrorist and

858
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 16: a member of MS thirteen, perhaps perhaps not. Regardless, he

859
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,439
Speaker 16: is still entitled to due process and that's the key point.

860
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 16: That's the key issue. Bring him back and then let's

861
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 16: put it all out there. Let's have the hearing.

862
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 2: Did she read the court documents and the decision. I

863
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: don't think she did. I think this lawyer is a

864
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 2: very bad lawyer. For him, he has a deportation order

865
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 2: in place, which means a court is ruled he must

866
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 2: be deported. Now, there are the ties to the MS

867
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 2: thirteen gang. President Trump has declared MS thirteen a foreign

868
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 2: terrorist organization. You do not get due process. If you

869
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 2: come into the country and you have ties to a

870
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 2: terrorist organization, you can instantly be deported.

871
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 1: So due process for what I would ask.

872
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 2: He has already been through the court process and the

873
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 2: court has ruled you must be deported.

874
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: But again, they don't look at things like this.

875
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 2: So President Trump was with Maloney today and he was

876
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: talking about activist judges watch this and to think what.

877
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: They've done to our country.

878
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 6: And I was elected to straighten that out, and I'm

879
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 6: doing that.

880
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: But we have.

881
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 17: Activist judges that don't want murderers to be sent out

882
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 17: of our country. They don't want killers and drug dealers

883
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 17: and drug layers and people from mental institutions.

884
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: They want them to say in our country. I guess

885
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't know.

886
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 17: Maybe that's a liberal way, or as they call it nowadays,

887
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 17: the progressive way.

888
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 2: Please don't call it progressives. They made up that nickname

889
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 2: for themselves. It sounds all positive. There's nothing progressive about them.

890
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 2: They're regressive. They want to take us back to the

891
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 2: Stone Age, where criminals rule the streets.

892
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: Not law and order.

893
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 2: And so these activist judges now threatening to hold many

894
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 2: in the Trump administration in contempt of court for deporting

895
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 2: someone that a judge ruled must be deported.

896
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: Go figure. This is what we're up against in this country.

897
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 2: It's sad, but President Trump is changing it in large

898
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 2: part thanks to all of you. All right, Up next,

899
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is begging Canadians to visit California.

900
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 1: Wait for this, embarrassed next, Welcome back everyone.

901
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 2: So Gaven Newssom out in California, the governor there is

902
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 2: trying to cozy up with China, and now he's trying

903
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 2: to cozy up with Canada because the state's destroyed and

904
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: he needs help from everybody. I think he wants to

905
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 2: sell plump jack wine to China. That's why he's working

906
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 2: the tariffs out there, and he knows he needs income,

907
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,479
Speaker 2: so he wants Canadians to come visit.

908
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: So what does he do? They've got an entertainment industry

909
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 1: yet there.

910
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 2: Clearly they didn't hire somebody from it to produce this

911
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 2: stupid video.

912
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 18: The Golden State and Canada have always shared so much

913
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 18: in common. Sure, you know who's trying to stir things

914
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 18: up back in DC, but don't let that ruin your

915
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 18: beach plants. California it's the ultimate playground, two thousand miles

916
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 18: from washing It.

917
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 11: In a world away in mindset.

918
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 18: From our iconic beaches in national parks to world class wine,

919
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 18: food and outdoor adventure.

920
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 11: There's something here for everyone.

921
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 2: Last year nearly oh yeah, there's something there for everyone

922
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 2: is so from homelessness to out of control crime, to

923
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 2: sales tax that's out of control, and the income tax

924
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 2: that's crazy, property taxes that are through the roof. I

925
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 2: could go on and on all the great things about California,

926
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 2: including smog that's.

927
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: Gonna do it for us.

928
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 2: Have yourself a fabulous Easter weekend, folks.

929
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: We will see you back here Monday. I'm off tomorrow
