1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people.

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: There's not got a free shot. All these networks lying

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: about the people, the people have had a belly full

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 1: of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: know you try to do everything in the world to

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: going to happen.

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: And where do people like that go to share the

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: big line? Mega media?

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 3: these people had a conscience.

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 4: If that answer is to save my country, this country

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 4: will be saved.

16
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 5: Wor use your host, Stephen k Back.

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, twenty August, Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five.

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: Thank you for being here for the second hour of

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: the morning edition. We're also going to be on fire

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: the afternoon edition. We got so much four as the

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: day we came and wedge it all in. I've got

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: Philip Patrick, i got Steve Cortez. I'm gonna get back

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: to Steve Cortez in a moment and bringing phil Patrick

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: after just after We've got Senator Mike Lee by phone,

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: and I need to take certainly because this goes back

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 1: to my open about twenty twenty six and beyond centaer.

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: Mike Lee, thank you, and it's so great to have

28
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: you here because we always look to you to help

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: us out with the constitution and the constitutionality of things.

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: This whole the three aspects of everything that's going on.

31
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: One the President calling for a mid decade census that's

32
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: done right, done correctly, done of illegal aliens, but also

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have all the problems that the Commerce Department had

34
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: last time. Also the redishuting fight. And folks, I think

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: we're getting very close to a vote in Texas, but

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: it's not good enough. We need a Texas ten, not

37
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: the five that was originally there. Because the Democrats try

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: to be cute, there's more sat down there. We have

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: to be maximalist. Number Three is this thing about mail

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: in ballots, And so Senator Lee, I know you've got

41
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: a thread and you're very focused on this. Correct me

42
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. Is the great State of Utah is

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: that one hundred percent mail in ballots like Colorado or

44
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: you guys just use mail in balance a lot sir.

45
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: No, We've been using universal mail in voting and for

46
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: a long time. In fact, we adopt that it significantly

47
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: before COVID in some respects. One could argue that Utah

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 3: does it better than other states. Nonetheless, the risks remain.

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: The risks have proven themselves to be inherent in the

50
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: nature of mail in balloting. Look, you don't just print

51
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 3: out millions of ballots and send them out like feathers

52
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: in the wind into the US mail system.

53
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 6: There are too many potential points of of failure.

54
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: And so even if you're a state like Utah but

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: probably does mail in balloting better than others, doesn't mean

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: that what is safer than other states today will remain

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: safer tomorrow. Nor does it mean that it's adequately safe

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: even for today, simply because of the fact that you've

59
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: got chain of custody problems that amplify themselves exponentially the

60
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 3: minute you put it into the hands of the.

61
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 6: US postal system.

62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: Now, the US postal system is good for what it's

63
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: good for, but it's not a good way to vote.

64
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: And I think we need to end it in Utah

65
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: and across the country. And I've written on that extensively

66
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: over the last few days on x my base might

67
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: leave account because I feel passionately about this.

68
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 6: I think there is way too much room for manipulation.

69
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: And if there's ever been a time that we need

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: to be refocused on sort of bolstering the integrity, actual

71
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: and perceived integrity of our voting systems, it's right now.

72
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Why did you know you could understand the crazies in

73
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: Oregon and not the eastern part, not the eastern port Washington,

74
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: but you know, the Seattle Portland crowd. You can understand

75
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: in the takeover the blue takeover Colorado because in Colorado

76
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: there was a plan of these radical LGBTQ plus billionaires

77
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: to take Colorado and turn it from you know, a

78
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: Western state with those kind of Western values of self

79
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: reliance into a blue state, purple first and blue. You

80
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: can understand, you can understand why some of these states

81
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: have gone this. Why did Utah do?

82
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 6: I mean?

83
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: Utah is like the epitome of American values, self reliance,

84
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: self determination, you do things the classic old fashioned American way.

85
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: How did Utah, of all places, even get into the

86
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: mailand ballot business.

87
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: My understanding is that a decision was made at the

88
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: time based at least in part on the belief by

89
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: many Republicans that it would help enhance our ability to

90
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 3: win more state legislative seats.

91
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 6: For Republicans in the state of Utah.

92
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: Now, I don't know whether the statistics actually bear that

93
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: out or not, but regardless of whether they do, I

94
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: think any gain there, any actual or perceived gain there

95
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: is more than offset by the diminution in voter integrity.

96
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: In the security and safety reliability of our voting systems

97
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 3: are the ability of our voting systems to be resilient

98
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: as against attempts to engage in voting fraud. So regardless

99
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: of what those motivations might have been and what the

100
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: merits might have been at the time, I think the

101
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: time has come for us to change. And that's why

102
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: I'm calling on our legislature in Utah and legislatures across

103
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: the country to do the same.

104
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: So how are you going to lead that effort? You know,

105
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: it's interesting the founders, given that the post office was

106
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: such a major institution at the founding of the Republic,

107
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: you know, didn't come out for this. So today it's like,

108
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: why are we doing this, particularly in a system that's

109
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: so open to manipulation and corruption. How do you expect

110
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: to get this done in Utah? And then how do

111
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: you expect to take this what President Trump was so

112
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: he's going to have a very tough executive order. I

113
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: know they're working on right now. What would you like

114
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: to see in that executive order to help you on

115
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: your crusade to take get it shut down everywhere in

116
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: the country?

117
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: Well, first and foremost, anything coming out of the White

118
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: House in the form of an executive order or otherwise,

119
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: I think can be very helpful to us, especially in

120
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: so for it as it emphasizes problems that the administration

121
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: has uncovered ways in which these things have been abused

122
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: and manipulated.

123
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 6: I can't speak to what they intend to actually do

124
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 6: in the executive order. I just haven't been read in

125
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 6: on any event.

126
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 3: I really don't know what they have in mind, but

127
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 3: I know that President Trump has led the way, and

128
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: I think President Trump's vocal advocacy on this has been

129
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: very effective.

130
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 6: I know they've got.

131
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: Because of the messages coming from the White House and

132
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: from President Trump himself, we've got lawmakers who were much

133
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: more interested in this as a result of his direct involvement.

134
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: So the more of that we can get the better

135
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: off we're going to be.

136
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: Before I let you go, Senator Lee, you led the effort,

137
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: the great effort to support President Trump for recess or

138
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: true recess and a recess appointment. It's pretty obvious to

139
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: anyone associated with the administration is that given the lack

140
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: of manpower we've had on these billets just to get

141
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: in and I may even talk about you as attorneys,

142
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm talking about just the staff, these billets in the

143
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: executive branch, that is not just people working overtime. Things

144
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: are falling through the crack for the sum reasons. We

145
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: just don't have the manpower President Trump needs. Is there

146
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: any update at all you can give us on when

147
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: we can expect I understand they may change some rules

148
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: in the margin, but the bottom line I believe is

149
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: that at some point in time we're going to have

150
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: to have John Thunan, the leadership, the McConnell back leadership

151
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: of the Senate, have President Trump's back here and have

152
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: some sort of a true recess when get recess appointments.

153
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: Any update at all on anything you've been working on

154
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: while we're on this quote unquote non recess recess.

155
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, there are.

156
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: Members of the Senate who demanded when we left that

157
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: as soon as we come back into session, either the

158
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: first or or second week of September or back in session,

159
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: that we will be considering some possible rules changes that

160
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: would help expedite that. Now, I want to be optimistic

161
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: about that. Keep in mind, and actual rules change change

162
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: takes sixty seven votes. You can up what's called the

163
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: standing order, which can have the same effect as the

164
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: rules changed. Then that takes sixty votes. So either of

165
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: those options would require more than a simple majority, and

166
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: it would require the support of at least some Democrats.

167
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: If we can do that such that we can really

168
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 3: expedite a lot of President Trump's nominees, because this isn't

169
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: just a matter of human resources of manpower, as you say,

170
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: it's also having the right political appointees who are installed

171
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: and confirmed and can act with the legitimacy, the and

172
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 3: perimeter of Senate confirmation approval within their respective agencies.

173
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 6: So look, if we can get that done, that would

174
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 6: be great.

175
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: Frankly, right now, I'm not holding my breath, which is

176
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: why I advocated for us to either stay in session

177
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: until we.

178
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 6: Cleave the backlog.

179
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: If we actually hang on that.

180
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 6: We take a real research.

181
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: All the Democrats, all the Democrats right now the and

182
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: are looking at Gavin Newsom finally getting some traction because

183
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: he's trying to mimic and trying to mimic President Trump.

184
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Given the thirtieth of September, the timing on all this

185
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: madness related to the minibus, the maxibus, you know, omnibus appropriations,

186
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: all that madness that the clocks of me ticking right

187
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: with only ten or fifteen days, do you actually think

188
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: that the Senate could come? I mean, the fight for

189
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: sixty or sixty seven votes would be historic right now?

190
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: What it not?

191
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 6: So?

192
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: Because they're in a position they don't want to cooperate

193
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: with Trump. This is why the recess uppartments are important.

194
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: They don't want to cooperate with Trump on anything, and

195
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: their voters are howling. Right. You can't even have a

196
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: town hall because these crazy people will show up shouting

197
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: people down. Do you, honestly, do you actually think, because

198
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: you're a guy that's a safe pair of hands, you

199
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: actually think we could get the Senate to agree on

200
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: anything that would be a win for Trump, Sir?

201
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: I think it is exceptionally unlikely. The reason they're maybe

202
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: some sliver of hope there there may be some institutionalists

203
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 3: among the Senate Democrats who might say, look, if it's

204
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 3: going to be between this and a larger sleugh of

205
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: recess appointments, then maybe we out of play ball. I

206
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: don't think they're going to play ball, which is why

207
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 3: I think we've got to do what I think we

208
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: should have done in August, which is either stay in

209
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 3: sessioned until they're all done, or if we must take

210
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: a recess, actually recess and recess in a way that

211
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: allows the President to exercise his power under Article two

212
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 3: of the Constitution to fill those vacancies during a recess

213
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: at the Senate.

214
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: Center.

215
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: Mike Lee, where do people go? Your threads? Amazing? I

216
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: know you're putting up stuff all the time. Where do

217
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: people go to get to your social media to find

218
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: out more about what you're thinking? Sir?

219
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 3: It can follow my thinking on this on x at

220
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 3: based Mike Lee based Mike.

221
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: Lee, and it is quite based. It's a great Twitter feed.

222
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: Sarah Lee. Thank you for taking time off to join

223
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: us to day in the warm explaining this. Appreciate you.

224
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 6: Thanks so much, Steve, take care, Thank you brother, Steve Cortes.

225
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: I've got Philip Patrick with us, and actually in a

226
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: short while Edward Bolsonaro. And you know a lot of

227
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: this is coming out of the Bricks Nations and led

228
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: by Lula. Walk me through again the defense of the dollar.

229
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: I want to, because I know we got all kinds

230
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: of economic problems here, but go back to your coming

231
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: out of You're in Jackson hole right even as we speak,

232
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: uh uh. And I know the president's anticipating some acknowledgment

233
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: of a ray cut. I'm not so sure that's coming

234
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: because I think pound these guys are dug in. By

235
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: the way, what are you what you're thinking on the

236
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: rate cut? Where do you come down there? Are you

237
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: part of this group that says they've miscalculated where real

238
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: natural interest rates should be and that there should be

239
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: a rate cut?

240
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: Sir, well, listen.

241
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 7: I am, of course no fan of Powell or for

242
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 7: that matter, of the Fed on the whole. Well, however,

243
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 7: in this case, I think they're actually correct. When you

244
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 7: look at what's going on with the dollar, when you

245
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 7: look at what's going on with grocery prices, I think cutting.

246
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: Rates right now is dangerous.

247
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 7: If rates are going to be cut I'll tell you this.

248
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 7: It must be coincided. It must be coincident with a

249
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 7: very significant campaign to back up the dollar. That is

250
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 7: I think absolutely paramount. That is an imperative if rates

251
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 7: are going to come down, we have to try to

252
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 7: defend the dollar because part of the erosion of buying

253
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 7: power of regular Americans a big reason why they continue

254
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 7: to tell us in polling that they have tremendous economic anxiety,

255
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 7: even though they.

256
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: Don't know it, it's a currency issue.

257
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 7: It's because their buying power is eroding because the dollar

258
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 7: is eroting.

259
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: So I think this is absolutely key. And again this

260
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: is not my opinion. I mean, just look at the levels.

261
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 7: Look at bitcoin, look at gold, look at even the eurocurrency.

262
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 7: For all the problems of Europe, your currency is having

263
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 7: a great year against the US dollar.

264
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: That is not consequence free.

265
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 7: And it's again to translate it back to politics and polling.

266
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 7: It's why half of Americans give a or an F

267
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 7: grade to the administration on inflation right now. And that's

268
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 7: in Georgia, that's in a state that is leaning Republican.

269
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 7: But when we ask them to give a letter grade,

270
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 7: forty eight percent of women, forty eight percent of independence,

271
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 7: tell us they give a D or an F to

272
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 7: the administration, and that women number is very important, by

273
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 7: the way, because they are generally the CFOs of the household.

274
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 7: They tend to do more shopping, they pay the bills,

275
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 7: so they are the accounts. They're the CFOs and in

276
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 7: that regard their view is particularly important here. Now you

277
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 7: haven't said all that, Steve. Look, the FED is utterly corrupt.

278
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 7: And one of the things I'm trying to talk to

279
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 7: here in Jackson Hall. I'm trying to talk to as

280
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 7: many reporters as I can because most of the media folks.

281
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: Are already here, is will you please give some real

282
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: scrutiny to the FED.

283
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 7: I mean the fact that the FED governor is likely

284
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 7: to be imminently indicted, the fact that the last vice

285
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 7: chairman of the FED, Richard Clarida, that he had to

286
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 7: resign because he was front running during the COVID panic.

287
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 7: He was front running the FED with multimillion dollar trades.

288
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 7: I got hardly any attention from the corporate.

289
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: Media, Steep, I mean, give them some Steve, hang on

Speaker 1: corral the media and information warfare and get them focused

309
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: on what's particularly the corruption of the Fed. I mean,

310
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: this is a huge deal. President Trump put out a

311
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: true social as we were coming on air to somewhere

312
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: I guess we were finishing for our pre production for

313
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: the Morning war Room, and demand did that. The governor

314
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: of the Federal Reserve, Lisa Cook a step down immediately

315
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: because she's about to be imminently indicted for mortgage fraud.

316
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: That's lovely. Yeah, so make sure get your voice is

317
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: heard there. Where do people go to follow you, sir?

318
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 7: Yes, so go to Cortes investigates dot com Coortes with

319
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 7: an S at the end all of my documentaries. This

320
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 7: article my most recent article on the economy and polling,

321
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 7: and I certainly will be posting more about the FED.

322
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 7: And yeah, I think this is even the bigger point

323
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 7: than what the FED should do with indust rates right

324
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 7: now is we need accountability and transparency from the FED.

325
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 7: This is one of the most important institutions in American life,

326
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 7: and yet they operate completely in the shadows and there's

327
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 7: almost no media scrutiny of them, despite a lot of

328
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 7: really malicious, awful and even criminal behavior. Again reminder, the

329
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 7: vice chairman of the FED, the last vice chairman, was

330
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 7: trading in massive amounts front running decisions of the FED

331
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 7: during the COVID panic. Now we have a sitting FED

332
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 7: governor who looks imminently to be indicted for mortgage fraud.

333
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 7: This is a thoroughly corrupt institution. It should be audited,

334
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 7: There should be tons of scrutiny, and I think the

335
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 7: entire board should be replaced. We need small bankers, farmers,

336
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 7: small business owners. Enough of these corrupt academics, enough people

337
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 7: with PhD from n and Columbia University who have gotten

338
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 7: almost everything wrong for decades. So if not eliminate the FED,

339
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 7: at least seriously.

340
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: Reform the FED.

341
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 7: And part of what I'm doing here in Jackson Hole

342
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 7: is trying to encourage these media folks. And it's not easy, Steve,

343
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 7: you know that there's stummers l but I've tried to

344
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 7: encourage these media folks to actually.

345
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: Be no, hang up, hang on it, it's not that.

346
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Most of these reporters are all English majors,

347
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: so they really don't understand it. So what to get

348
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: access in inside baseball? They give them scoops, but they

349
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: got to take the party line. That's where the Fed's like.

350
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: They call it the temple, right, It's like what happens

351
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: in there is kind of is like magic. It's not that.

352
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: And look, I'm an end the FED guy. I'm an

353
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Jackson populist. We don't need a central bank, and

354
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: I think it's only proven to destroy the value of

355
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 1: the currency, and it's crush working class people. Hell, they

356
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: bailed out everybody after two thousand and eight on the

357
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: working people in this country. And it's in the minutes

358
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: of the Federal Reserve. That's why the book Lords of

359
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: Easy Money is so shocking. You actually read. Oh, by

360
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: the way, their minutes are not available for a decade.

361
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: They put them in the National Archives. You can't even

362
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: read them for a decade. Effort that things corrupt and incompetent.

363
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: If you're corrupting on your game, maybe you can look

364
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 1: over the corruption, right, but if you're corrupting a competent

365
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: it's like the French aristocracy right before the French Revolution, Right,

366
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: they learned nothing. The Bourbons learn nothing, and they forgot nothing.

367
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: That's the Federal Reserve. Steve Cortes, thank you. We'll check

368
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: back in and Jackson Hole as you're out there. Thank you, sir,

369
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bot it appreciate it. So we got a

370
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: counter to think about. Defended doll So, Philip Patrick Gold's

371
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: been on fire for the last year. The dollar. There's

372
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: all kinds of questions about the dollar right now. Edward

373
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: Bossonara is going to join us here in a little while.

374
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: You know, he'll tell you they're trying to put his

375
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: father's on trial. They're going to put him away forever

376
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: with this corrupt judge and try to have him assassinated

377
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: in prison because Lula is never going to turn over

378
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: Brazil because Lula is in bed with the CCP. And

379
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: as you reported from when you went down and did

380
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: the best reporting from Rio, it's all about these bibles.

381
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: It's everything's de dollarization. They just don't want to say

382
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: it because they understand President Trump will come down on

383
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: him with another fifty percent tariff. So given that, and

384
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: I've here's from a lot of people that that gold

385
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: is at you know what thirty four hundred bucks are around,

386
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: It fluctuates a little bit. How are people supposed to

387
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: think about this? When Steve Cortes said, hey, look, it's

388
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: part of the math here, and my phone's already blowing

389
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: up from people, particularly people on fixed incomes. They're saying, hey, look,

390
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: I'm feeling that declined in the value of the dollars.

391
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: So what are people to do here and to think

392
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: through this entire mess?

393
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 9: Sir, Look, I think you've just got to understand a

394
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 9: little bit about gold. So gold's been performing very well

395
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 9: as we've seen since I've come on the show. It's

396
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 9: just been going up and up and up. Obviously a coincidence,

397
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 9: but you know I'm hearing from people, are goal prices

398
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 9: too high? And the answer I think is absolutely not.

399
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 9: You've just got to start looking at it in the

400
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 9: right way. So, first of all, for some historical context,

401
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 9: where we are today with gold prices thirty three forty

402
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 9: two and some change, This is essentially where we were

403
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 9: in the nineteen eighties. Right nineteen eighty January, after the

404
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 9: stagflationary bout of the seventies, gold peaked at around eight

405
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 9: hundred and fifty dollars an ounce. If we adjust that

406
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 9: to inflation today, that sits at around thirty three hundred.

407
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 9: So this isn't new territory in terms of prices. We

408
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 9: have to remember a few differences from the nineteen eighties

409
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 9: and today. Right back in the nineteen eighties, there were

410
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 9: options money in the bank. CDs were paying sixteen percent.

411
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 9: You could beat inflation sitting in the bank. Those options

412
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 9: just don't exist today. We also have to look at

413
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 9: gold in terms of an asset class. This is a

414
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 9: commodity that isn't like oil or wheat. Right, look at

415
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 9: with most commodities, high prices will kill demand or boost supply,

416
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 9: or they're going to do both right, and then ultimately

417
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 9: they're consumed or used up. Gold is very different. Supply

418
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 9: barely grows. It's one percent a year, regardless of what

419
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 9: happens to price, right, So price is set by those

420
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 9: who are willing to sell, not by new supply. So

421
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 9: it's a very unique commodity in that respect. And then

422
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 9: here's the big ones. Who's buying gold today. It's central banks,

423
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 9: as we've taught for the last three and a half years,

424
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 9: setting consecutive records. But people have to understand one thing

425
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 9: about gold. There is no ceiling on its price when

426
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 9: money breaks, right. We talk a lot about the dollar

427
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 9: devaluation of the dollar d dollarization. Kenneth Rogoff said this

428
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 9: back in twenty sixteen. He said gold has no limit

429
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 9: to its price, and he's absolutely right. Look at buy

430
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 9: my Germany, right. An ounce of gold before World War

431
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 9: One was one hundred and seventy marks. Ten years later,

432
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 9: or after a hyperinflationary bout eighty seven trillion marks it

433
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 9: took to buy one ounce of gold, right. So gold

434
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 9: is a reflection of currency, and ultimately gold will go

435
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 9: as high as currency goes low. And what history has

436
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 9: shown us is there is no bottom for currency.

437
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 5: So when we talk about.

438
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 9: Dollar devaluation and why people should buy gold, this is

439
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 9: exactly why. Look at investment banks now scrambling to up

440
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 9: their predictions. Goldman, Sachs, City Group, Ubs, Bank of America

441
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 9: all say over four thousand dollars within the next six

442
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 9: to eight months. So this is a market I think

443
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 9: that will continue to move. And I'll go back to

444
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 9: what you say, don't look at gold's price, look at

445
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 9: the fundamentals driving gold. They are strengthening every single day, Steve.

446
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: That's what we try to do with the end of

447
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: the dollar empires. Just go there. It's been four years,

448
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: and you know, I hate to be so blunt, but

449
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: we've called this from the very beginning. And if you

450
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: go back and look at the chapters, and we try

451
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: to build this up so you understand, really back to

452
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: the beginning of the country. We go back to the foundation,

453
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: We go back how big currency was, how big terists,

454
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: the whole thing. All economics were such a part of

455
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: the founding of the nation, so much part really of

456
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: the revolution that's never really talked about. Number One most

457
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: historians just don't understand it. Currency itself was a hot

458
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: political topic. This was the rise of not just Jackson

459
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: and the populace about he wanted to get rid of

460
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: the Bank of the United States at the time, but

461
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: later William Jennings Bryan, remember, don't don't nail me to

462
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: a cross of gold. The whole thing of currency Greenback's

463
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: how we finance the Civil War. It's fascinating, but it's

464
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: important to your life today to understand it. That's what

465
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: we try to do. End of the Dollar Empire promo

466
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: code ban and Birch Gold promo code Bannon. You get it.

467
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: We got seven free installments. Philip and I are working

468
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: on a bunch of stuff now. We got an eighth

469
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: and a ninth in process. We're also going to come

470
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: out of a physical copy after Labor Day. Will tell

471
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: you about it. And more importantly, we're going to do

472
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: some other very special things that we're working on right now,

473
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you about Philip before I let

474
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: you go. One of the things that President Trump, you know,

475
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: he's whipping votes on big beautiful bill. They didn't give

476
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: him a recess, so he doesn't have his staff, you know,

477
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: the people in the second and third tier people that

478
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: you need to actually make things happens. He's cleaned up Washington,

479
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: d C. I think in seventy two hours or in

480
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: the process of it. So many things going on, and

481
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: now he's, you know, doing the negotiation from peace in

482
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: Ukraine the same time they're coming back to him on

483
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: the Gaza situation. I mean, the guy's got any one

484
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: of these problems with a broken a previous present. One

485
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: thing I'm most concerned about is I don't think the

486
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: House and the Senate and other surrogates are doing enough

487
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: to go out and sell the big beautiful bill and

488
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: the supply side part of it. Give me a minute

489
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: on that. We've got about ninety seconds. Give me a

490
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: minute on that, about about just the process of selling

491
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: the big beautiful bill to the American people, the details

492
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: of it.

493
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 9: I think people need to understand that austerity is not

494
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 9: going to do the job here. The only way to

495
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 9: do this is to grow the economy and to do

496
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 9: it at a rapid pace. I agree with Maltpout. I mean,

497
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 9: the bill is absolutely important. We need a good environment

498
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 9: for growth. I think it's why the federers do have

499
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 9: to lower rates a little bit. I was torn listening

500
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 9: to Malpass and Cortes because I understand both sides of it.

501
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 9: But what we need right now is an injection of growth.

502
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 9: We need to do it fast. Resident Trump has done

503
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 9: an incredible job, even I've been surprised with the amount

504
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 9: of revenue he's generated through tariffs, but also the amount

505
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 9: of investment he's attracted to the United States. But we

506
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 9: need to push his bill forward. At the end of

507
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 9: the day, as you say, he's dealing with so many issues.

508
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 9: I don't think there's many people on the face of

509
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 9: this earth that could balance. Now we've got a trust

510
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 9: President Trump. We've got to let him do what he

511
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 9: does best and try and put some rocket fuel on

512
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 9: this economy because it needs it badly.

534
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: State there day, walk us through the latest of where

535
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: the sanctions are, how the United States, this standoff between

536
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: the United States and these demons in your home country Brazil.

537
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 8: Sirs, who have to think a lot now, President Trump,

538
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 8: he's the greatest leader ever in the history of the

539
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 8: humanity in my opinion, and he started to you giving

540
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 8: some pressure in the financial system of Zio with the

541
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 8: fifty percent tariffs and clearly saying that this is not

542
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 8: only because commercial trade issues, but also because Brazil is

543
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 8: leaving a huge institutional crisis and the Brazilian establishment is

544
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 8: answering that sending Jerry Bolsonata, for example, beginning Alijhan Jimourries

545
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 8: discrazy justice from the Supreme Court imposing in an ankle bracelet,

546
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 8: and in the end of this day, Trump took eight

547
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 8: visas of the eleven justice of the Brazilian Supreme Court,

548
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 8: and then alejanjimour Iz, doubling down again, send the Bosonata

549
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 8: to house arrest, and Trump sanctioned at Aleshenjimuriz with all

550
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 8: VAX sanctions.

551
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: So now we are in a point where a.

552
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 8: Partner of Aleshanji Moris inside of the Brazilian Supreme Court

553
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 8: is deciding, is saying that the Brazilian banks should not

554
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 8: follow the all VAX sanctions. What they did not understand

555
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 8: that the Magniski Global Act is not an American law

556
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 8: that you know, United States pretend to enforce in other countries.

557
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 2: It is only a law.

558
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 8: Saying that, okay, if you are a bank and you

559
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 8: want to have access to the financial market of the

560
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 8: United States, you have to accomplish with the old fact

561
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 8: list of sanctions and then you'll have ales. So the

562
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 8: banks of Brazil nowadays they have to decide in following

563
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 8: the Supreme Court or following the old.

564
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 6: Sanctioned list.

565
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 8: And I do believe that they do not have other options,

566
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 8: and they have to follow the Magninski Global Act law

567
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 8: because other way they are going to bankrupt, because you

568
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 8: cannot survive as a bank without access to the greatest

569
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 8: financial market.

570
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: In the world, which it is in the United States.

571
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: Is there anything Is there anything else we can do

572
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: except cutting off all imports from Brazil? I mean, what's that?

573
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: Are there any other steps that President Trump? Secretaries God

574
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: beston who you met? I put your picture up on

575
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: on my social media, uh, Rubio, because people understand President

576
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: Trump is very focused on this. Scott Besson's very focused

577
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: in the fact when Scott Secretary Besant, our old colleague,

578
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: met with Edwater, he canceled the meetings with the finance minister.

579
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: Rubio is all over this. You have many people that

580
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: are all over So is there anything else for our

581
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: audience to be thinking about that can still be done

582
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: to assist your father in the people in Brazil we

583
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: love so much.

584
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 8: Yes, First the press in Brazil they were they were

585
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 8: saying that the Brazilians are not applying correctly. I mean

586
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 8: the banks are not applying correctly the Global Magnee Act,

587
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 8: which means that aes he sanctionment, but he is still

588
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 8: holding some banking.

589
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 6: Accounts in Brazil.

590
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 8: And so this is the first asking that we did

591
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 8: for a Secretarist Scott Best to properly inform or enforce

592
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 8: the Global Magnis Act against Amalies. And now that have

593
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 8: other justice in the Supreme Court support al Ice, he

594
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 8: also can be sanctioneded because through the American law of

595
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 8: the Global Magninis Act, it says that does a matter

596
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 8: who work in support of the sanction at this person

597
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 8: is also going to be sanctioned. So this is the

598
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 8: other point, and we are increasing the pressure to accomplish

599
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 8: with the letter of President Trump to President Lula da Silva,

600
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 8: which in the first paragrapher talks about the law fare

601
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 8: and the persecution against Jeribo Sonata, my father, our family

602
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 8: and our supporters. So to answer that we need to

603
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 8: approve what we have in the Congress we call the

604
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 8: Amnesty Bill is a part of them coming from the Congress

605
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 8: and we do need that not only to release Jeribo

606
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 8: Sonato from jail and let me go back to my country, Brazil,

607
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 8: but also to have a full participation of the opposition

608
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 8: in the next year election.

609
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: Yeap, okay, we're gonna be all over that. Edward. Your

616

Speaker 1: This is a fight that everybody is engaged in, so

624
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: thank you so much, sir. I want to thank Secretary

625
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: of Treachery Scott A. Beston. Want to thank Secretary of

626
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: State Marco Rubio that have made this a priority. Also

627
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: want to think the great Vince Haley over the Mexic

628
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: Policy Council. Vince Haleey a great man, working NonStop over

629
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: there also Darren Beatty over at State. Just an incredible team,

630
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: quite controversial to make America Healthy Again movement in MAGA.

631
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: If we're combined, nothing can beat us. Gary Breckatt joins

632
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: us now from MAHA Action. Gary explained this audience, this

633
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: leak of the MAHA report, what's going on? Because our

634
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: audience is quite dedicate. We love Bobby Kennedy, we love

635
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: what he's trying to accomplish. We just had the guys

636
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: on last week about the MR and A. But there's

637
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: some controversy about this leaked report. Where do we stay,

638
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: you know better than anybody. Where do we stand with this?

639
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 10: Well, I mean you have to look at the traction

640
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 10: that Bobby's had so far. I mean, you're uprooting decades

641
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 10: of deep state corruption. You know, the corruption and our

642
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 10: nutritional supply, the cup corruption and our nutritional research. You know,

643
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 10: when you just take a step back and you looked

644
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 10: at seventy four percent of our nutritional research is funded

645
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 10: by big food and big pharma. Right, this is how

646
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 10: you get a food pyramid that says that lucky charms

647
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 10: is more nutritious than grass fed steak. And if you

648
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 10: look at trying to uproot this level of corruption and

649
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 10: our food supply and our nutritional research and our public

650
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 10: policy in the way that we protect chemical companies, you know,

651
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 10: look at Senate bill all right, sorry, a House Appropriations

652
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 10: Bill four fifty three, which is a bill that would

653
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 10: give broad immunity to chemical companies like Keemchina that make paraquat,

654
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 10: which is illegal in China but then sold into the

655
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 10: United States and being lobbied for broad protections in the

656
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 10: United States against consumer revolt for harm. And this is

657
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 10: not just broad protection for chemical companies, it's broad protection

658
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 10: for chemical companies against known harm, meaning knowingly causing harm,

659
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 10: not just inadvertently causing harm, but knowingly causing harm. Companies

660
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 10: like Bayer that make roundup in glycosate, which is a

661
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 10: German company, not even a US company, that import these,

662
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 10: that import these pesticides, herbicides and deicides and poisons and

663
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 10: heavily spray our crops in the United States, but they're

664
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 10: not allowed to do this in their own mother country.

665
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 10: When Bobby Kennedy starts to stand up to this kind

666
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 10: of corruption, you see this kind of malfeasance in the narrative.

667
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 10: So the report was leaked. You'll have people on both

668
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 10: sides the reports, some saying, hey, it doesn't go far enough,

669
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 10: some saying it goes way too far, depending on what

670
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 10: side of the aisle that you're on. But the truth

671
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 10: is that the milestones that Bobby has accomplished and the

672
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 10: MAHA movement has accomplished are not only here to stay,

673
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 10: but they're picking up steam and momentum, moms across America

674
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 10: and chronic disease.

675
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: Ay or a second, because the MAGA movement is one

676
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: ndred percent down with Bobby and what's trying to happen.

677
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: I mean, this audience is the one that would fixed

678
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: span Nets on his confirmation. So yeah, I think and

679
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: I want to make sure the audience understands this. This

680
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: is why we want to have you on today. There

681
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: was some confusion, particularly way the media said that Bobby

682
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: and the team had already been compromised, that the MAHA

683
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: report that was leaked. What you just said right there, right,

684
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: because you know we had Nicole on. She did a

685
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: great job about Big agg and the big chemical companies.

686
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: But the report, at least the way it was spun

687
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: by some media outlets, that Bobby Kennedy and the MAHA

688
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: team had blinked that you weren't it wasn't going to

689
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: be aggressive enough in some of the areas you just

690
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: talked about. Number one. That's that's a narrative coming from

691
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: big Pharma, Big AG who want to you know, disembow

692
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: Bobby Kennedy and the team right now, Can you set

693
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: it straight that that's not the fact that the team

694
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: over the team over there is just as focused on.

695
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: Don't believe the spin of what came out on this

696
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 1: league report.

697
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 10: Do not believe the spin about what came out on

698
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 10: this league report. Don't believe that there's any daylight between

699
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 10: President Trump and Bobby Kennedy. Bobby Kennedy prayed for twenty

700
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 10: years to be in the position he's in right now,

701
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 10: to have the kind of influence on public policy that

702
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 10: he's having. He is fully on board with Donald Trump's

703
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 10: He has no intention of running for president in twenty

704
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 10: twenty eight, inspite some of that creative narrative. You know,

705
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 10: the only way to stop this movement would be to

706
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 10: drive a wedge between the White House and Health and

707
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 10: Human Services, or between Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump, and

708
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 10: it's just simply not going to happen.

709
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 2: You know, this is as much a spiritual.

710
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 10: Revolution as it is a revolution about corruption, and people

711
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 10: are going to choose to be on one side of

712
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 10: the aisle or the other. The challenge for them now

713
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 10: is that the court of public opinion is shifting. It

714
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 10: is it is going to become impossibly, it's going to

715
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 10: become impossible to overcome the narrative of being on the

716
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 10: opposite side of childhood cancers, max fast vaccinations, broad immunity

717
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 10: for chemical companies at the expense of American citizens. And

718
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 10: so you're seeing the flailing, you know, the absolute panic

719
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 10: with their backs against the wall, where they can't counter

720
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 10: the narrative directly. Nobody can raise their hand and say, hey,

721
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 10: I want to get physical education out of the public

722
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 10: school system. We want more petroleum based food dies you know,

723
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 10: in our in our in our food, more glycasate, more

724
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 10: more genetically modified foods, more round up, more paraquat. So

725
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 10: what they have to do is they have to try

726
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 10: to attack the personality, which is Bobby Kennedy and say, hey,

727
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 10: as agenda is going too far, it's infringing on our

728
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 10: freedom of choice, none of which is true. You know,

729
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 10: you'll still have the freedom to choose all of the

730
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 10: all of the foods that you had to choose five

731
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 10: years ago. It's just that you will not be exposed to,

732
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 10: you know, the types of poisons that are infecting our

733
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 10: food supply. I mean, somebody has to ask the question,

734
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 10: how is it that we spend five trillion dollars a

735
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 10: year on healthcare and we are the sickest, fattest, most

736
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 10: diseaser in the nation, in the world. We lead the

737
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 10: world in morbid obesity, type two diabetes, multiple chronic disease

738
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 10: in a single biome, infant mortality, and maternal mortality. And

739
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 10: everybody wants to just raise their hand and say it's

740
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 10: working just fine. Don't look over here at the statistics,

741
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 10: look over here at that, you know, at the price

742
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 10: and the availability of foods, and and so this this

743
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 10: report was purposely leaked. There are some areas that I

744
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 10: would agree have not yet gone far enough, but reports

745
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 10: not final. There are some areas that people would argue

746
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 10: have gone too far, but Bobby has towed the line,

747
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 10: you know, masterfully on getting a lot of these companies,

748
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 10: chemical companies, agricultural companies, food companies, and even pharma to

749
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 10: come to the table ahead of these legislative changes. And

750
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 10: at the state level, he's succeeding in such a way

751
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 10: that we've created a patchwork of framework. Then now companies

752
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 10: have to try to work around. So it's becoming less

753
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 10: expensive to conform than it is to fight this agenda.

754
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 10: So I think that, you know, the fight is only

755
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 10: just begun. You know, you're talking about an industry with

756
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 10: a multi trillion dollar war chest also that has a

757
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 10: media narrative that's very cooperative to their messaging.

758
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's going to succeed. I mean,

759
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: it's becoming.

760
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 10: Very unpopular for politicians to be on the other side

761
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 10: of the MAHA movement.

762
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: Can you hang over a second, because I want to

763
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: hold you through a commercial break. You just talked about.

764
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: The one thing I think's even changed from twenty sixteen

765
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: when President Trump first came in is the consolidation of

766
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: some of these industry big ag big pharma, you know,

767
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: big finance, big tech, that the concentration of power and

768
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: their brutal use of lobbyists and law firms. I mean

769
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: the concentration of power. So somebody like Bobby Kennedy, which

770
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: was tough enough to fight a decade ago, to fight

771
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: it now, is almost, you know, incomprehensible about the pressure

772
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: that's on every day. So we're going to take a

Speaker 1: short commercial break home titleck dot com promo code Steve

Speaker 1: four hour coverage alerts in the middle of the knife

776
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: anybody's messing with your title, and a one million dollar

777
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: restoration project if all else fails. Every dream you've ever

778
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: had is in that home. Make sure it doesn't turn

779
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: into a nightmare by somebody getting their hands on your title.

780
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: Short commercial break. This is the primal screen of a

781
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going to

782
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: medieval on these people. You've not got a free shot.

783
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: All these networks lying about the people, the people have

784
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: had a belly full of it. I know you don't

785
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: like hearing that. I know you tried to do everything.

786
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 6: In the world to stop that, but you're not going

787
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 6: to stop it.

788
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 1: It's going to happen.

789
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 7: And where do people like that go to share the

790
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 7: big line, Mega Media.

791
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of

792
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my

793
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: task and what is my purpose?

794
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 4: If that answer is to save my country, this country will.

795
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: Be saved war.

796
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 5: Use your host, Stephen k Maan.

797
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, twenty August, Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five.

798
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: Thank you for being here for the second hour of

799
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: the morning edition. We're also going to be on fire

800
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: in the afternoon edition. We got so much four as

801
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: the day we came and wedge it all in. I've

802
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: got Philip Patrick, I got Steve Cortez. I'm gonna get

803
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 1: back to Steve Courtez in a moment and bringing Patrick after.

804
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: Just after. We've got Senator Mike Lee by phone. And

805
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: I need to take certainly because this goes back to

806
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: my open about twenty twenty six and beyond. Cenator Mike Lee,

807
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 1: thank you, and it's so great to have you here

808
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: because we always look to you to help us out

809
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: with the constitution and the constitutionality of things. This whole

810
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: the three aspects of everything that's going on. One the

811
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: present calling for a mid decade census that's done right,

812
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: done correctly downe of illegal aliens, but also don't have

813
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 1: all the problems that the Commerce Department had last time.

814
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: Also the redishuting fight. And folks, I think we're getting

815
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: very close to a vote in Texas, but it's not

816
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: good enough. We need a Texas ten, not the five

817
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: that was originally there. Because the Democrats try to be cute,

818
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: there's more seats there. We have to be maximalist. Number

819
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: three is this thing about mail in ballots, and so

820
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: Senator Lee, I know you've got a thread and you're

821
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: very focused on this. Correct me if I'm wrong. Is

822
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: the great State of Utah is that one hundred percent

823
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: mail in ballots like Colorado? Or you guys just use

824
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 1: mail in balance a lot, sir.

825
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 3: No, We've been using universal mail in voting and for

826
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: a long time. In fact, we adopted it significantly before COVID.

827
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 3: In some respects, one could argue that Utah does it

828
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 3: better than other states. Nonetheless, the risks remain. The risks

829
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 3: have proven themselves to be inherent in the nature of

830
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 3: mail in balloting. Look, you don't just print out millions

831
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 3: of ballots and send them out like feathers in the

832
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 3: wind into the US mail system, there are too many

833
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 3: potential points as of failure, And so even if you're

834
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 3: a state like Utah but probably does mail in balloting

835
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: better than others, it doesn't mean that what is safer

836
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 3: than other states today will remain safer tomorrow, Nor does

837
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 3: it mean that it's adequately safe even for today, simply

838
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 3: because of the fact that you've got chain of custody

839
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 3: problems that amplify themselves exponentially the minute you put it

840
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 3: into the hands of the.

841
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 6: US postal system.

842
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 3: Now, the US postal system is good for what it's

843
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 3: good for, but it's not a good way to vote,

844
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 3: and I think we need to end it in Utah

845
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 3: and across the country.

846
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 6: And I've written on that extensively over the.

847
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 3: Last few days on x My base might leave account

848
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 3: because I feel passionately about this.

849
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 6: I think there is way too much room for manipulation.

850
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 3: And if there's ever been a time that we need

851
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 3: to be refocused on sort of bolstering the integrity, actual

852
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 3: and perceived integrity of our voting systems, it's right now.

853
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: Why did you know you could understand the crazies in

854
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: Oregon and not the eastern part, not the eastern port Washington,

855
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: but you know the Seattle Portland crowd. You can understand

856
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: in the takeover the Blue takeover Colorado, because in Colorado

857
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: there was a plan of these radical LGBTQ plus billionaires

858
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: to take Colorado and turn it from you know, a

859
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: Western state with those kind of Western values of self

860
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: reliance into a blue state, purple first and blue. You

861
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: can understand, you can understand why some of these states

862
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: have gone this. Why did Utah do it? I mean,

863
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: Utah is like the epitome of American values, self reliance,

864
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: self determination, you do things the classic old fashioned American way.

865
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: How did Utah, of all places, even get into the

866
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: mailand ballot business.

867
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 3: My understanding is that a decision was made at the time,

868
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 3: based at least in part on the belief by many

869
00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 3: Republicans that it would help enhance our ability to win

870
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 3: more state legislative seats for Republicans in the state of Utah. Now,

871
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 3: I don't know whether the statistics actually bear that out

872
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 3: or not, but regardless of whether they do, I think

873
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 3: any gain there, any actual or perceived gain there is

874
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 3: more than offset by the diminution in voter integrity, in

875
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 3: the security and safety reliability of our voting systems are

876
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 3: the ability of our voting systems to be resilient as

877
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 3: against attempts to engage in voting fraud. So, regardless of

878
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 3: what those motivations might have been and what the merits

879
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 3: might have been at the time, I think the time

880
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 3: has come for us to change. And that's why I'm

881
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 3: calling on our legislature in Utah and legislatures across the

882
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 3: country to do the same.

883
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: So how are you going to lead that effort? You know,

884
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: it's interesting the founders, given that the post Office was

885
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: such a major institution at the founding of the Republic,

886
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, didn't come out for this. So today it's like,

887
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: why are we doing this, particularly in a system that's

888
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: so open to manipulation and corruption? How do you expect

889
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: to get this done in Utah? And then how do

890
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: you expect to take this what President Trump was so

891
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: he's going to have a very tough executive order. I

892
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: know they're working on right now. What would you like

893
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: to see in that executive order to help you on

894
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: your crusade to take get it shut down everywhere in

895
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: the country.

896
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 3: Well, first and foremost, anything coming out of the White

897
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 3: House in the form of an executive order or otherwise,

898
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 3: I think can be very helpful to us, especially in

899
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 3: so for it as it emphasizes problems that the administration

900
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 3: has uncovered ways in which these things have been abused

901
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 3: and manipulated. I can't speak to what they intend to

902
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 3: actually do in the executive order. I just haven't been

903
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 3: read in on any event. I really don't know what

904
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,959
Speaker 3: they have in mind, but I know that Trump has

905
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 3: led the way, and I think President Trump's vocal advocacy

906
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 3: on this has been very effective.

907
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 6: I know they've got because of the messages.

908
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 3: Coming from the White House and from President Trump himself,

909
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 3: we've got lawmakers who are much more interested in this

910
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 3: as a result of his direct involvement. So the more

911
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 3: of that we can get, the better off we're going

912
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 3: to be.

913
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,280
Speaker 1: Before I let you go, Senator Lee, you led the effort,

914
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: the great effort to support President Trump for recess or

915
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: true recess and a recess appointment. It's pretty obvious to

916
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: anyone associated with the administration is that given the lack

917
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: of manpower we've had on these billets just to get

918
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: in and I may even talking about you as attorneys,

919
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: I'm talking about just the staff. These billets in the

920
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: executive branch. That is not just people working overtime. Things

921
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: are falling through the crack for the sum reason, we

922
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: just don't have the manpower President Trump needs. Is there

923
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: any update at all you can give us on when

924
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: we can expect I understand they may change some rules

925
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: in the margin, but the bottom line I believe is

926
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: that at some point in time we're going to have

927
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: to have John Thunan the leadership, the McConnell back leadership

928
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: of the Senate, have President Trump's back here and have

929
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: some sort of a true recess when get recess appointments,

930
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: Any update at all on anything you've been working on

931
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: while we're on this quote unquote non recess recess.

932
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, there are members of the Senate who demanded

933
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 3: when we left that as soon as we come back

934
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 3: into session, either the first or or second week of

935
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 3: September or back in session, that we will be considering

936
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 3: some possible rules changes that would help expedite that. Now,

937
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 3: I want to be optimistic about that. Keep in mind,

938
00:49:55,880 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 3: and actual rules change change takes sixty seven votes. What's

939
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 3: called a standing order, which can have the same effect

940
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 3: as a rules changed.

941
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 6: Then that takes sixty votes.

942
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 3: So either of those options would require more than a

943
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 3: simple majority, and it would require the support of at

944
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 3: least some Democrats.

945
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 6: If we can do that such that.

946
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 3: We can really act, but ide a lot of President

947
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 3: Trump's nominees, because this isn't just a matter of human

948
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 3: resources of manpower, as you say, it's also having the

949
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 3: right political appointees who are installed and confirmed and can

950
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 3: act with the legitimacy, the and perimeter of Senate confirmation

951
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 3: approval within their respective agencies.

952
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 6: So look, if we can get that done, that'd be great.

953
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 3: Frankly, right now, I'm not a holding my breath, which

954
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 3: is why I advocated for us to either stay in

955
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 3: session until we clean the backlog, hang on if we

956
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 3: actually hang on that we take a real research.

957
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: All the Democrats, all the Democrats right now in the

958
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,720
Speaker 1: center are looking at Gavin Newsom finally getting some traction

959
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: because he's trying to mimic and trying to mimic President Trump.

960
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: Given the thirtieth of September, the timing on all this

961
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 1: madness related to the minibus, the maxibus, you know, omnibus appropriations,

962
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: all that madness that the clocksm be ticking right with

963
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: only ten or fifteen days. Do you actually think that

964
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: the Senate could come? I mean, the fight for sixty

965
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: or sixty seven votes would be historic right now? Whatd

966
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: it not?

967
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 6: So?

968
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: Because they're in a position they don't want to cooperate

969
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: with Trump. This is why the recess uppoinments so important.

970
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: They don't want to cooperate with Trump on anything, and

971
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: their voters are howling. Right. You can't even have a

972
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: town hall because these crazy people will show up shouting

973
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:49,240
Speaker 1: people down. Do you, honestly, do you actually think, because

974
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: you're a guy that's a safe pair of hands, you

975
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: actually think we could get the Senate to agree on

976
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: anything that would be a win for Trump?

977
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 6: Sir?

978
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 3: I think it is exceptionally unlikely. The reason there may

979
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 3: be some sliver of hope there there may be some

980
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 3: institutionalists among the Senate Democrats who might say, look, if

981
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 3: it's going to be between this and a larger sleugh

982
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 3: of recess appointments, than maybe we out of play ball.

983
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to play ball, which is

984
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 3: why I think we've got to do what I think

985
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 3: we should have done in August, which is either stay

986
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 3: in sessioned until they're all done or if we must

987
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 3: take a recess, actually recess and recess in a way

988
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 3: that allows the President to exercise his power under Article

989
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 3: two of the Constitution to fill those vacancies during a

990
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 3: recess of the Senate.

991
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 2: Center.

992
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: Mike Lee, where do people go your threads? Amazing? I

993
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: know you're putting up stuff all the time. Where do

994
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: people go to get to your social media to find

995
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: out more about what you're thinking? Sir?

996
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 3: It can follow my thinking on this on x AT

997
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 3: based Mike Lee, based Mike Lee, and it.

998
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: Is quite based. It's a great Twitter feed, Sarah Lee.

999
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking time off to join us day

1000
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 1: in the warm explaining this. Appreciate you. Thanks so much, Steve,

1001
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:12,240
Speaker 1: take care. Thank you, brother, Steve Cortes. I've got Philip

1002
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,439
Speaker 1: Patrick with us and actually in a short while Edward

1003
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: of Bolsonaro. And you know a lot of this is

1004
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,720
Speaker 1: coming out of the Bricks Nations and led by Lula.

1005
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 10: Uh.

1006
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: Walk me through again the defense of the dollar. I

1007
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: want to, because I know we got all kinds of

1008
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: economic problems here, but go back to your coming out

1009
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: of You're in Jackson hole right even as we speak,

1010
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: uh uh. And I know the President's anticipating some acknowledgment

1011
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,240
Speaker 1: of a ray cut. I'm not so sure that's coming

1012
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: because I think pound these guys are dug in. By

1013
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: the way, what are you what you're thinking on the

1014
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: raate cut? Where do you come down there? Are you

1015
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 1: part of this group that says they've miscalculated where real

1016
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: natural interest rates should be and that there should be

1017
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: a rate cut?

1018
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 2: Sir, well, listen.

1019
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 7: I am, of course no fan of Powell, or for

1020
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 7: that matter, of the Fed on the hole. However, in

1021
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 7: this case, I think they're actually correct. When you look

1022
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 7: at what's going on with the dollar, when you look

1023
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 7: at what's going on with grocery prices, I think cutting.

1024
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 2: Rates right now is dangerous.

1025
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 7: If rates are going to be cut, I'll tell you this,

1026
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 7: it must be coincided. It must be coincident with a

1027
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 7: very significant campaign to back up the dollar. That is

1028
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 7: I think absolutely paramount. That is an imperative if rates

1029
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 7: are going to come down, we have to try to

1030
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 7: defend the dollar because part of the erosion of buying

1031
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 7: power of regular Americans a big reason why they continue

1032
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 7: to tell us in polling that they have tremendous economic anxiety.

1033
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 2: Even though they don't know it. It's a currency issue.

1034
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 7: It's because their buying power is eroding because the dollar

1035
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 7: is eroting. So I think this is absolutely key. And

1036
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 7: again this is not my opinion. I mean, just look

1037
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 7: at the levels. Look at bitcoin, look at gold, look

1038
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 7: at even.

1039
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 2: The euro currency.

1040
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 7: For all the problems of Europe, your currency is having

1041
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,280
Speaker 7: a great year against the US dollar.

1042
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 2: That is not consequence free. And it's again to.

1043
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 7: Translate it back to politics and polling. It's why half

1044
00:54:56,040 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 7: of Americans give A or an F gradeministration on inflation

1045
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 7: right now. And that's in Georgia. That's in a state

1046
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 7: that is leaning Republican. But when we ask them to

1047
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,959
Speaker 7: give a letter grade, forty eight percent of women, forty

1048
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 7: eight percent of independence tell us they give a D

1049
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 7: or an F to the administration. And that women number

1050
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 7: is very important, by the way, because they are generally

1051
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 7: the CFOs of the household. They tend to do more shopping,

1052
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 7: they pay the bills, so they are the accounts, they're

1053
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 7: the CFOs, and in that regard their view is particularly

1054
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 7: important here now, having sett all that, Steve, look, the

1055
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 7: FED is utterly corrupt and one of the things I'm

1056
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 7: trying to talk to here in Jackson Hall.

1057
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 2: I'm trying to talk to.

1058
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 7: As many reporters as I can, because most of the

1059
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 7: media folks are already.

1060
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 2: Here is Will you please give some real scrutiny to

1061
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 2: the FED?

1062
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 7: I mean the fact that the FED governor is likely

1063
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 7: to be imminently indicted. The fact that the last vice

1064
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 7: chairman of the FED, Richard Clarida, that he had to

1065
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 7: resign because he was front running during the COVID panic.

1066
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 7: He was front running the FED with multimillion dollar trades.

1067
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,439
Speaker 7: I got hardly any attention from the corporate media.

1068
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 1: Steep, I mean, give them some Steve, hang on one second,

1069
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,879
Speaker 1: short break, Philip Pats is just going to join US America.
