China would love to see the US dollar 64 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 4: no longer be the reserve currency because I don't know, 65 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 4: maybe the thank you one who knows, maybe the Euro, 66 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 4: but whatever it is, if it's not the US dollar, 67 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 4: that means all those countries that hold US dollars to 68 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 4: negotiate trade currency transactions, we're going to have to dump them. 69 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 4: That has really a lost selling, I insane selling in 70 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 4: the US dollar. It's a scary concept. And by the way, 71 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 4: we want to be buying gold before that reset in 72 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 4: case it happens, because thirty three hundred bucks will look 73 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 4: like a cheap price if it does happen. 74 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 5: This is what we did. 75 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 2: You know, the president as if he doesn't have enough 76 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: weight on his shoulders right now to add that one 77 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: to be unsatisfactory. So we all got to pull together. 78 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: Eric Bowling look forward to seeing in the house to 79 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: mar Sovis.

This 87 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: starts at three o'clock tomorrow. Where Steve Gruber showed that 88 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: naturally is I think he's going to be doing things 89 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: at the convention. We'll dull him in as we go. Okay, 90 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: remember a couple of weeks ago we had the truckers 91 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: on here about truck only truckers that could speak English, right, 92 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: no foreign truckers should be here in the United States 93 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: of America. 94 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 5: Well, President Trump's about to go in the Oval in 95 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 5: a few minutes. 96 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: Insign an executive ard, let's play the cold open, and 97 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: we're the truckers in we fired. 98 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: We fired the first shot back at them. In Arkansas, 99 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: we filed. We found a representative state representative here by 100 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: the name of Wayne Long and a state Senator, John Payton, 101 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: filed House Bill fifteen sixty nine, which was written. It 102 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: was the Secure Roads and Safe Trucking Act, and it 103 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 3: was written to require all truck drivers to read and 104 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 3: speak the English language. It was written to close the 105 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 3: loopholes for non domicile commercial driver's license, and to close 106 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: the loopholes for the foreign commercial driver's license, and to 107 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 3: create felony code for non citizens that cause injuries and 108 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: fatalities on our highways. Unfortunately, because of political games and 109 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 3: shenanigans here in the state of Arkansas, we never even 110 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: got to present that bill to the committee. The Trucking 111 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 3: Association put forward another bill, HB seventeen forty five, which 112 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: addressed none of those issues that we just brought up directly. 113 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 3: All of those issues are still in are still allowed 114 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: on Arkansas highways. The one thing that he did is 115 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: do in the eleventh hour was they added English proficiency. 116 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 3: They put a fine in HB. Seventeen forty five, so 117 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 3: that the driver has now fined five hundred dollars if 118 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 3: he's caught unable to read and speak English, but they 119 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: still let him go. So when all stop going to 120 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 3: pulleve over off arriving to give him five hundred dollars 121 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 3: and say okay, but now you can carry on on 122 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: your way. The whole purpose of the English proficiency law 123 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 3: is that he's an imminent hazard to the motoring public, 124 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 3: so he should be taking out of service and removed 125 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 3: from the truck or the truck impounded. 126 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 5: You can't. This is outrageous. 127 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: You can't have foreigners coming in here and taking truckers 128 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: jobs and don't read English, don't understand English, don't it's outrageous. 129 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: This is my point about American sayism, whether in Silicon 130 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: Valley or driving a truck, you shouldn't have to compete 131 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: in your own nation, your own country with foreigners. American 132 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: companies should be able to compete around the world if 133 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: they want, and have plants overseas to do what they want, 134 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: but in this country you shouldn't have foreign labor imported 135 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 2: here to compete against you. This was bias thing about 136 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: low skilled labor. This is why we got ten million 137 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 2: illegal aliens up through there. And as Todd Bens has 138 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: told you, totally, it wasn't chaos. It was so perfectly 139 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: thought through. This is why we need some investigations arrest 140 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: of those people that did it. 141 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 7: Start with majorcis and then the third executive order, which 142 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 7: actually speaks to the heart of your question earlier about 143 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 7: the uber drivers, will be a order directing the Department 144 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 7: of Transportation to include English literacy tests for our truckers. 145 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 7: This is a big problem in the trucking community that 146 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 7: unless you're in that community you might not know, but 147 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 7: there's a lot of communication problems between truckers on the 148 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 7: road with federal officials and local officials as well, which 149 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 7: obviously is a public safety risk. So we're going to 150 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 7: ensure that our truckers, who are the backbone of our economy, 151 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 7: are all able to speak English. That's a very common 152 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 7: sense policy and the States of America, So the President 153 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 7: will be signing. 154 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 5: That later this afternoon. 155 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 7: Yes, you're welcome to the back of the yellow tie. 156 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 5: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray 157 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 5: for our enemies because we're going to medieval. 158 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 6: On these people. 159 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 5: There's not got a free shot. All these networks lying 160 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 5: about the people, the people have had a belly full 161 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 5: of it.

It's 164 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 5: going to happen. 165 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 4: And where do people like that go to share the 166 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 4: big line? 167 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 6: Mega media? 168 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 4: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 169 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 4: these people had a conscience. 170 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 5: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? 171 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 3: If that answer is to save my country, this country 172 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 3: will be saved. 173 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 6: Worry use your host, Stephen k Man. 174 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: Twenty eight Every year of Our Lord twenty twenty five, 175 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 2: we have Shannon Everett from American Truckers Unlimited and All 176 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: United excuse me, and Gordon McCall, the writer that got 177 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 2: us involved with this group.

Is this executive order the start of a 179 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: path to get this thing sorted about foreign truckers compete 180 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: with American truckers or is it an end all be all? 181 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 5: I mean, talk to us about this executive order. 182 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: It's definitely a victory. It's a victory for American truck drivers. 183 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: It's a victory for the American worker, and it's a 184 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 3: victory for the American motoring public. It's definitely not an 185 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: end all do all. You know, there's the American truck 186 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 3: trucking industry as a shelle of what it once was 187 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 3: just five to ten years ago, and so we need 188 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 3: to restore the American trucking industry to its greatness. And 189 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 3: so there's several things that continued that need to continue 190 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 3: to need more work. But we believe that this is 191 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 3: a great step by the President, by the Secretary of 192 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 3: Transportation Sean Duffy and showing that their priority is the 193 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 3: American worker and that they have concerned for the American 194 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 3: trucking industry. So we think we can work through those 195 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 3: remaining issues. 196 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: So tell us what is today, Shannon, What did today 197 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: President Trump? What is he exactly signing, and what is 198 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: the impact and how does this set us forward to 199 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 2: go and sort this entire mess out, sir. 200 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 3: So, there was a memorandum that was issued in twenty 201 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: sixteen that told all of our law enforcement officers to 202 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 3: stop enforcing the law that were a United States American 203 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 3: truck driver was required to speak and read English and 204 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 3: so this federal agency issued this memorandum, and all of 205 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 3: our state agencies that enforce these laws stood down, and 206 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: so instead of putting a truck out of service and 207 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: taking a driver off of the roads, they would cite 208 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 3: the driver for the violation and then they would let 209 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 3: him go. It's my understanding that today's exis pecutive order will. 210 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 5: Be to. 211 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 3: Give guidelines to those officers instead of just giving them 212 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 3: a citation to now put them out of service. And 213 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 3: so that's been our request all along that a driver 214 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: that's unable to read our highway signs is an imminent 215 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: hazard to the motoring public and should be removed from 216 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 3: service and taken out of that truck. 217 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 2: Gord, Where do we go? This is a major development. 218 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 2: Obviously a lot of people were working on this. Talk 219 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 2: to us about what we need to do to get 220 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: this whole mess sorted out. There should be no foreign 221 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: drivers whatsoever here competing with American citizens for the trucking business, 222 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 2: sir right. 223 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: Well. 224 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 8: One of the problems, as Shannon and his team have 225 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 8: pointed out, is that during the Biden administration in twenty 226 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 8: twenty one, they put together this Trucking Action Task Force 227 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 8: and they effectively doubled the production of CDA in one year, 228 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 8: and a whole bunch of people were just given CDLs. 229 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 8: It appears that a number of states cooperated with the 230 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 8: Biden administration and reduced. 231 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 5: To the audience. Tell the audience what a CDL is. 232 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 2: What's a CDL and why is it such a big 233 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: deal that they double the number of them. 234 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 8: The CDL stands for commercial Driver's license, and that is 235 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 8: the license that you must have to drive an eighteen 236 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 8: wheeler in the United States of America. Is the same 237 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 8: in the unit in Canada and Mexico they call them 238 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 8: different terms, but you have to have one to drive truck. 239 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 8: And typically the United States training systems to produce new 240 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 8: drivers will generate between four hundred and four hundred and 241 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 8: fifty thousand new CDLs year. 242 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: Which is a problem on its own. 243 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 8: The trucking industry has got a major retention problem, and 244 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 8: it's had one for decades. They try and lie to 245 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 8: us that there's a shortage of truck drivers. What's going 246 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 8: on is that the industry has not fixed it's the material, 247 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 8: can conditions of the job or paid drivers enough, and 248 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 8: they've been chipping away at it for decades. And decades 249 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 8: and decades, and the really good, really safe professional truck 250 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 8: driver has had a war essentially declared against him. And 251 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 8: what the Biden administration did during the COVID demand spike 252 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 8: was flooded the market and how they were able to 253 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 8: achieve that was issuing CDLs to migrants and refugees and 254 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 8: a whole bunch of people that are not Americans. And 255 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 8: one of the ways they were able to get away 256 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 8: with that was because of this waiver of English language 257 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 8: requirements that Shannon just spoke of. 258 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: You're saying that when they all the time they say 259 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: there's a shortage of truckers. 260 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 5: There's a shortage of truckers. 261 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: Because they flooded the zone with foreign, cheap labor and 262 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 2: that's driven the wages down, and so it's tough to 263 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: get peper through this type of rigorous job if you're 264 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 2: going to get paid fifty percent of what you used 265 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: to get paid for because you're competing against non American citizens. 266 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: Right. 267 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 8: And before they started flooding it with migrants, they were 268 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 8: using taxpayer money to pay for CDL schools. 269 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 5: Right. 270 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 8: A number of very large carriers, the type of people 271 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 8: represented by the lobbying organization called the American Trucking Association, 272 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 8: and I want your listeners and viewers to understand this 273 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 8: very clearly. The American Trucking Association does not represent truckers. 274 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 8: They represent carriers, and they have been wards of the 275 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 8: state for decades, taking money from the taxpayer to pay 276 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 8: for the production of new CDLs because they can't keep 277 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 8: good guys around because they don't want to pay them. 278 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 8: They don't want to fix endemic problems in the industry. 279 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 8: And what the Biden administration did was took all these 280 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 8: migrants and refugees and threw them in there to help 281 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 8: the mega carriers continue their program of cheap labor and 282 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 8: not fixing their problems and keeping good, safe operators. 283 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: Around cheap labor. You heard that, good guys stick around 284 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: for the hold to deal a come break. President Trump 285 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: trying to set things right in days of thunders.

Take a short commercial break. 297 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: You heard you heard Bowling talking about the Reo reset. 298 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 2: Bowling spent what a dozen years in the pits trading 299 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 2: oil and gold he knows birch gold dot com, slash 300 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 2: ban in the end of the dollar empire, modern monetary theory, 301 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: the sixth free installment. Get it all, get up to 302 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 2: speed before get to real short break. 303 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 6: America, use your hook even game that. 304 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: Shennon with the President obviously taking action here and getting 305 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: involved in this. Now, what shape is the American trucking 306 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: industry in your opinion, Sir. 307 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 3: Steve, It's in the worst shape of my twenty five 308 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 3: year career. We're in the We're in the midst of 309 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 3: a three year long freight recession. Of course, we call 310 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: it a supply crisis. But and that situation has deteriorated 311 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: rapidly over the past couple of weeks as the imports 312 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 3: coming into our seaports has started to slow down. You know, 313 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 3: there's a I think Gorge described it as an accordion effect. 314 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 3: There's a there's a delay in three to four weeks 315 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 3: of transit time and even more in some cases for 316 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 3: those shipments to arrive to our ports. And so we're 317 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 3: starting to feel those effects. We really started to see 318 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 3: it last week. You know, in my day in my 319 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 3: day job, I'm actually running a trucking company, and so 320 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 3: this advocacy that we're doing is really just part time 321 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 3: work that we're doing on the side to do these issues. 322 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 3: But in my day job, I'm actually operating a large 323 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: fleet of refrigerated freight and so I've seen that situation 324 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 3: deteriorate in the last couple of weeks, have seen it 325 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 3: rapidly start to dissolve last week, and so we're really 326 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 3: predicting that we're headed into over the next two to 327 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 3: three weeks, a crisis for the American trucking industry. I believe, 328 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 3: unlike anything that we've ever seen. I lived through two 329 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: thousand and eight and two thousand and nine at the 330 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 3: time I was hauling automotive parts. We saw factories go 331 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: down for eleven to thirteen weeks, and during that time, 332 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 3: we had hope. We had hope because we knew that 333 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 3: when the factories came back on that we would have 334 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 3: adequate work and that we would have cash flow and 335 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 3: a profit margin that would suffice. The problem with today's 336 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 3: market is there's not much hope for the American trucking 337 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 3: industry because we've been in this crisis now for three 338 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 3: years before the tariffs conversation even come through. And so 339 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 3: my concern right now is that a lot of these 340 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 3: special interest groups are going to try to lay the 341 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 3: blame of the trucking industry faults on the tariffs, and 342 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 3: that's not the case. Trucking industry was in shambles long 343 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 3: before we ever mentioned tariffs, and so it's important that 344 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 3: the administration and the Cabinet understand that there's going to 345 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 3: be people trying to explame with their feet for something 346 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 3: that was done in the prior administration, and we need 347 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 3: to take action on those things that were done. And 348 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 3: so that's what we did, and that's what we lined 349 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 3: out in that letter to Secretary Duffy that said, you know, 350 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 3: number one, all drivers should have English proficiency for the 351 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 3: public safety of our highways. But we also had four 352 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 3: other things that were right below that that really get 353 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 3: into the immigration and the economics and the national security 354 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 3: issues that have arisen from all of these. And so 355 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 3: the second thing was that they need to revoke and 356 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 3: ban all of these non domicile CDLs that they've issued 357 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 3: to non citizens. For twenty years of my we did 358 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 3: not pass out CDLs at state DMVs to non citizens 359 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 3: of the country. The CDL system was was maintained for 360 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 3: American citizens, and so I don't know of any legislation 361 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 3: or law that was written in Washington to make it 362 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 3: to where were to where these DMVs could start issuing 363 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 3: these CDLs to non citizens. It's my understanding that there 364 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 3: was some guidelines that were issued by our federal agency 365 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 3: down to these state DMVs that took out some ambiguity, 366 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 3: removed some language where they thought, Okay, we can take 367 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 3: advantage of this loophole now and start issuing this to 368 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 3: solve our driver driver shortage problem. And so that should 369 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 3: be a loophole that we should be able to close 370 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 3: pretty easily, because you know, not only do we have 371 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 3: national security and safety concerns, but they have flooded the 372 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,479 Speaker 3: labor market. And that's why we've coined the term labor dumping. 373 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 3: The whole purpose of opening up our CDL system was 374 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 3: so they could dump in foreign labor at reduced wages 375 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 3: to put pressure on the American truck driver. And so 376 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 3: you're American truck driver right now, their standard of living 377 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 3: has been greatly reduced over the past couple of years. 378 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 3: Their pay standards are down, their quality of life is down, 379 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 3: the amount of time that they have to spend away 380 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 3: from their family is up, and so our American truck 381 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 3: drivers are really on their last leg. And my biggest 382 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 3: concern is if we don't take action on this issue 383 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 3: of the over supply, the effect of the tariffs is 384 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: going to completely fall on the American truck driver. It's 385 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 3: going to push the remaining American truck drivers in American 386 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 3: trucking companies that we have in the business out right 387 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 3: now at this critical time, and the replacement cycle that's 388 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 3: been going on for the last four years is going 389 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 3: to intensify. And that's because the American truck driver and 390 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 3: the American trucking company can't operate at the same cost 391 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 3: level that these foreign operators and these foreign truck drivers can. 392 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 3: And so the first companies to lose in this tariff engagement, 393 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 3: are going to be the American truck driver in American 394 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 3: trucking company. The third thing that. 395 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 5: We that we listed, yeah, keep going, keep going. 396 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 3: The third thing that we listed goes back to my 397 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 3: personal experience with the USMCA trade lanes. And so in 398 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 3: my past interview with you, I told you that I 399 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 3: did automotive inbound logistics so we would haul the parts 400 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 3: into the automotive assembly factory. All of that business now 401 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 3: has been transitioned from the American truck drivers to foreign 402 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 3: truck drivers. It's almost exclusively hauled by truck drivers from 403 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 3: Mexico and Canada operating on B one visitor visas. And 404 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 3: so we need to either we need to ban that, 405 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 3: or we need to come up with a solution to 406 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 3: control what percentage each each driver group gets. We should 407 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 3: restrict and ban these the use of a visitor visa 408 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 3: to perform work in the United States. How is it 409 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 3: that truck drivers from foreign countries are allowed to use 410 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 3: visitor visas to perform work. It's not even a work visa, 411 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 3: but there's no there's no in for that, there's no 412 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 3: so when a truck driver gets passed the inward immigration zones, 413 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 3: which is like I think it's mile marker twelve on 414 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 3: air State thirty five, just north of the border. So 415 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 3: when you cross the border, you talk to immigration, you 416 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 3: go a little bit inward, ten to twelve miles or 417 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 3: so you have to talk to immigration again. And then 418 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 3: once you're past that, you never see another immigration officer 419 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 3: dot officer, state police. They're not allowed to ask you 420 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 3: about immigration. They're not allowed to ask you for your 421 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 3: immigration documents. So why are we allowing these drivers pass 422 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 3: that zone. The whole purpose of the commercial trade zone 423 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: was so that they could use these visitor visits for 424 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 3: a guy to simply come across the border, drop his trailer, 425 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 3: go back to the foreign country, and then if he 426 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 3: tried to abuse that, we had a check station ten, ten, 427 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 3: twelve miles in that would check his immigration status and say, whoa, 428 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 3: you're not supped topm past this point. And at some 429 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 3: point over the last ten years, somebody made a phone 430 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 3: call and said, hey, y'all let them through, and they 431 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 3: just started going through the checkpoints. And so we need 432 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 3: to restrict that. We need common sense back into these 433 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 3: drivers operating on visitor visas. We need common sense back 434 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 3: into this trade between the unit. It's not right that 435 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 3: we take all of our factories in the United States 436 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 3: and move those to Mexico and we move those up 437 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 3: into Canada and then we in source all of the 438 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 3: workers for the truck driving job. Can we not at 439 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 3: least just have the truck driving jobs. If you're going 440 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 3: to take our factories, can we at least keep our 441 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: truck driving jobs? And so that item right there addresses that. 442 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 3: And then for the families of Deane Miller, for the 443 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 3: families of Ladonia Bryant. Look, we want to say thank 444 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 3: you for the victory today for this executive order, but 445 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 3: we need criminal statutes for these non citizen drivers who 446 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 3: are abusing work visas, who are abusing these CDLs, who 447 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 3: don't speak English. And then when they're doing all of 448 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 3: these things knowingly knowing that they're not qualified, knowing that 449 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 3: they're not vetted, knowing that they haven't been properly trained, 450 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 3: and they're abusing the system, and they kill somebody like 451 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 3: Scott Miller, or they kill somebody like Mark Bryant. They 452 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 3: need to be held accountable for negligent homicide. Right now, 453 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 3: these guys are all receiving misdemeanors. Our law enforcement agencies 454 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 3: don't know what to do. Our prosecutors don't know what 455 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 3: to do. So they all get a slap on the wrist, 456 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 3: they get released. And that's how you get the situation 457 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 3: like a Nazio Cruise Morales who's been deported sixteen times, 458 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 3: seventeen times now, and every time he gets deported, he 459 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 3: goes gets in another commercial truck and drive straight back 460 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 3: across the border and goes back to work. And so 461 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 3: we need criminal statututes to address that. So these guys 462 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 3: are charged with homicide and they're given felonies, and then 463 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 3: we need we need a task force. We need a 464 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 3: task force to get our arms around this population. Who 465 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 3: are these people? I've got a conference call schedule later 466 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 3: this week to talk about One of these drivers in 467 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: this pool is on the most wanted list from India 468 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 3: and he's received one of these non dominicault CDLs. So 469 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 3: how are we vetting people when the people that are 470 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 3: driving our trucks here in the United States are on 471 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 3: the most wanted list from a foreign country. So we 472 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 3: know that there's no vetting whatsoever. We knew that before 473 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: we found out about this drive, because we saw the 474 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 3: licenses that are being issued with made up birth dates. 475 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 3: We saw the licenses that were being issued with no 476 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 3: first name and with no last name, and so you know, 477 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 3: there's just really no law and order right now in 478 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 3: the CDL issuance to truck drivers here in the United States, 479 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 3: and that's why the American trucking industry is being destroyed. 480 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 3: You cannot have an unlimited amount of supply of drivers 481 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 3: come in without it impacting the overall living standards and 482 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 3: the conditions for the American truck trucking company. 483 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 2: Shannon, how do people find out more about you on 484 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 2: social media and how they get to the American Truckers United. 485 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 3: You can follow us on Twitter at at ATU Truckers. 486 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 3: You can also come to our website at American Truckers 487 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 3: dot com.

Organizations like the ACLU will no doubt 500 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 8: stand up and say, hey, migrants and refugees. 501 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 6: Don't need to speak English. 502 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 8: He's going to get pushed back from the Mexican and 503 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 8: Canadian governments. Canada has a huge problem right now after 504 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 8: a decade of the Justin Trudeau regime allowing scams to 505 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 8: be operated on their immigration system. There's all kinds of 506 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 8: truckers in Canada who also don't speak English, and the 507 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 8: Canadian government's going to be coming to Trump saying you 508 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 8: can't enforce this on us. How can we engage in 509 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 8: cross border trade? When Trump needs to fight back and say, 510 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 8: you guys need to enforce English proficiency on your own. 511 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 8: Trump needs to be prepared. He's going to be getting 512 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 8: a lot of pushback. 513 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 5: He always does. That's why he's the tip of the spear. 514 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 2: Gord McCall, Shannon Everett, thank you guys, Thank you for 515 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 2: bringing us our attention.

The American trucker is the backbone of this country. 519 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: I remember when I started and the show shifted to 520 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 2: Series XM.

Robert, you know Scott Besson. 533 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 2: Today he's talking about potential architecture of some deals, not 534 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 2: final deals, but members of understanding or at least term 535 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 2: sheets for Japan, maybe Taiwan, uh, you know, Korea. 536 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 5: But the big one is India. 537 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 2: How important has India strategically to US, not simply just 538 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 2: on trade, but also nationals curty against the Chinese companies. 539 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 1: Party sir, well, see you're a navy guy, you understand 540 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: how when the Indian Ocean is in that whole region 541 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: we now call the Pacific Command, the end Up Paycong 542 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: or the Indo Pacific Command. India is incredibly important. It's 543 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: a huge country. Uh, They're gonna be bigger than China 544 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: population wise. If they're not already, they will be in 545 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: the next five years. 546 00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 3: Uh. 547 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: They're a powerful country. They're democracy, they speak English, they 548 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: want to be friends with the US. And China has 549 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: territorial claims against India. China has attacked India many times, 550 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: and so they're not very happy with the Chinese. They've 551 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: they've kicked out all the Chinese apps and we Chat 552 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: and we Boo and TikTok are not available in China 553 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: in India and India would come a major manufacturing based 554 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: for American products there and companies that are leaving China. 555 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: So India is a huge strategic partner for America going forward. 556 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: It's part of the quad. The diplomatic alliance between the Canberra, Tokyo, 557 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: Delhi and Washington, and so it was important to President Trump, 558 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: it's important to America as a whole. And we've got 559 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: very good relations with India. So I think that's gonna 560 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: be a key relationship run into the late into the 561 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: twenty first century. 562 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 2: Look, we love Mody. He's a nationalist like we like him. 563 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 2: And President Trump's obviously very close to Mody. The Howdy 564 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 2: MODI think was the biggest thing President Trump's ever had. 565 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 2: When President Trump went to Indian twenty twenty was on believable. 566 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 2: But they are very tough negotiators and if you look 567 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 2: at our trade deals, particularly talk to Navarro, India makes 568 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 2: his head blow up. Do you think we'll actually get 569 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 2: a deal with these guys that we can live with 570 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: and they can live with. 571 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we will. I was on both those visits. 572 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: That how do You Modi visit was in Houston, as 573 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: you know, and that the stadium there, the basketball arena packed, 574 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: and and Modi gave a speech. It was had the 575 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: crowder raucus. President Trump gave a speech and you might 576 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: recall after the end of the speech. You know a 577 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: lot of these leaders have a formal relationship, they have 578 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: a cordial relationship, but they don't have a real friendship. 579 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: I think the Modi and Trump have a real friendship. 580 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: And so Modi took Trump on the hands as they 581 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: they kind of want to do in that region, and 582 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,719 Speaker 1: held them by both hands and walked them around the arena. 583 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: The Secret Service head their heads exploded trying to keep 584 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: up with with Mody and Trump walking around the arena, 585 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: and there was this genuine affection between the two of them. 586 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: And then I was on a trip to India where 587 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: the President had I think the biggest rally he's ever done, 588 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: was over one hundred and twenty thousand people in the 589 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: largest career stadium in the world. The whole infield of 590 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: the greatest stadium was full, every sea in the stands 591 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: was full. It was hot as haites that day. We're 592 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: sitting in the front relevant and boiling. Remember Cash Hotel, 593 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: who worked for me at the time, was with me, 594 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: and we were all sweating. But the President gave a 595 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: great talk. Mode you gave a great talk. And again 596 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: they walked around the stadium to some extent. And so 597 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: there's a real relationship there, and I think India understands. 598 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: After the Chinese attacked India, recall this in twenty nineteen 599 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: Steve and they attacked that Indian patrol up in the 600 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: Himalayas and dismembered the bodies of the Indian soldiers they 601 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: killed and were quite brutal with them. The Indians learned 602 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: what they were dealing with the Chinese, and the Indians 603 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 1: understood this only with America and American weapons systems that 604 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: they can hold off the Chinese. And so that alliance 605 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: has really come together in a way that it had 606 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: now before. So I think it was a strong alliance 607 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: when it comes to trade, you know, I think the Indians. 608 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: Moti used to joke about it. He knew that the 609 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: Indian tariffs are very high. Killed Peter as Peter Navarro 610 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: as he's pointed out that India had subtigh tariffs. The 611 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: President Trump understood it. He gave present Prime Minister Remodi 612 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: a hard time about those high tariffs. But I think 613 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: now I think now that Trump is, you know, announced 614 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: Liberation days, announced the high tariffs in reciprocal tariffs, I 615 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: think the Indians understand that they need to make a deal. 616 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: The Indians have a once in a lifetime opportunity as 617 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,239 Speaker 1: everything moves from China to India, they can blow up 618 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: their manufacturing base. They can have a huge middle classic 619 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: can the Apple announ They're going to start making iPhones 620 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: in India one hundred percent of the iPhone in India. 621 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: That's that's a great opportunity for the Indians. So it's 622 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: in their interest to reduced tariffs, bring the manufacturing from 623 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: China to India export. The United States have a strong 624 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: security alliance with US and and really have an American 625 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: in the future in the in the Indo Pacific region. 626 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 2: Robert explained to the audience why this tragy in Kashmir 627 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 2: is so volatile and we got to watch it, you know, 628 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 2: the line of departure. Why is that one of the 629 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: most dangerous uh parts of the world. 630 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: See, thanks for asking about that, because so many people 631 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: don't recognize it as as a flashpoint. And we talked 632 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: about a Ram, we talk about Gaza, we talked about 633 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: Ukraine and Russia. We talked about the Taiwan Straits. But 634 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: they're this when when India was partitioned by the British, 635 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: between the Muslim and the and the Hindus. Basically, although 636 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: they are the Pakistan Kikamos, the Hindus are still Muslims 637 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: in India a couple of hundred million. But when when 638 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: Britain particip partitioned the empire, the Indian Empire into a 639 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: Pakistan Wish and in East Pakistan Wish became Bangladesh and 640 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: India which was primarily Hindu. There are there are there 641 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: are borderlands in gray areas and gray zones and and 642 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: like Gaza or like other places, their areas where the 643 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: India that were majority Muslim but the Indians considered their territory. 644 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: One of those areas is Kashmir. And so for many 645 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: years there's been a low level insurgency, sometimes hotter than 646 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: other times, where the terrorists have had sanctuary in Pakistan. 647 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: They've been able to go back across the border and 648 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: find safety in Pakistan, but then come into to Kashmir 649 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: and attack the Indians. And this last terror attack was 650 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: really a terrible thing. They killed twenty three Indian tourists 651 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: in a tourist spouse. It was a brutal, vicious terrorist 652 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: attack as we've seen from Jahatis and Salafis all over 653 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: the world, all over the Middle East, solid Afghanistan, and 654 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: the Indians are really they've had enough. They're not gonna 655 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: put up with the type of Terrians anymore, terrorism anymore. 656 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: India is a first world country. They just they're not 657 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: gonna put up with it. And so they sended a 658 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,959 Speaker 1: very strong message of Pakistan to get these you know, 659 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: rebels and terrorists under control. But just like the Pakistanians 660 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: gave you know, sucker for many years to the Taliban 661 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, they've done the same with the terror groups 662 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: in India that are attacking the Indians and Pakistan. I 663 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: think it's gonna have a reckoning, but the reason is 664 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: so dangerously. Going back to your question, it's kind of 665 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of a dog. Trump leave there. Not 666 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: as good as the president, but I try not to nuclear. 667 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: Both back in Pakistan and India are nuclear arms. So 668 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: if the situation escalates, if there is a war, the 669 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: Indians would probably start winning the conventional war pretty quickly. 670 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: The balance of power shifted heavily to the Indians with 671 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: their navy, with their air force, with their army, and 672 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: so the Pakistanis might feel that they had to use 673 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons and a response, then the Indians would use nukes, 674 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: and you can have a very serious nuclear conflagration on 675 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: the subcontinent of Asia, and that of course, is terrible 676 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,720 Speaker 1: for the world and terrible for both countries. So it's 677 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: quite a name of the situation that escalates. 678 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 2: Pakistan has open source Kastan has roughly how many nuclear weapons. 679 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 5: And they have a was It II. 680 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 2: They have a basically intelligence service that kind of runs 681 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 2: the government and kind of runs the military that has 682 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 2: stability issues. 683 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,479 Speaker 5: And how many nuclear weapons they have. 684 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to say open source. I've seen 685 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 1: reports up to sixty nuclear weapons in Pakistan and in India, 686 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: but again, you know, otherwise you don't have to go 687 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: to classified sources to see what the USI I see 688 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,359 Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee was estimating for both sides. But I think 689 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: it's been publicly kind of like growth Korea about sixty 690 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: weapons a piece. That's a lot of nukes, Steve. 691 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 2: It's a lot of nukes in a hot territory. What 692 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 2: do you what's going to be the outcome there? You think, 693 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 2: So it's hard to say. I mean, the passions are 694 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 2: of course exercise on both sides. They're both proud people. 695 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 2: They've got to shared heritage, you know. It's kind of 696 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 2: like you know, brothers who were separated, you know, early 697 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 2: on or have a long term Qoral. 698 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: So there's passion that influences the debate unfortunately, and human emotions, 699 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: so you know, it could be bad. But I think 700 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: the Pakistanis, I think Preme Minister of Sharas in Pakistan 701 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: understand that this is that things have changed. India's becoming 702 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: you know, almost a great power. Pakistan They've got, you know, 703 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: five times the population in Pakistan. Pakistan has to be 704 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: very careful here. They played a dangerous game and hosting 705 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: these terror organizations. And again the suggestion that the Pakistani 706 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: has directed the terror attack or or were involved in 707 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 1: it as a government, but they certainly know that they 708 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 1: have these these terrorist organizations you know, camping out in 709 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: Pakistan and they haven't you know, rounded them all up 710 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: yet they probably should. And so I think that you're 711 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: going to see a steady H d S Scalationian. I 712 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: think the Indians made a very strong point. They there 713 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: was some shooting across the border of the Indians, you know, 714 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: took some steps to to go after terrorists within India. 715 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: But I think I think both parties are going to 716 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: be level headed off here to to to calm it 717 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: down a little bit. As you mentioned, the Pakistans are 718 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: unstable politically. Am Ron Khan, the great cricket player, was 719 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: was the Prime minister. He's probably still the most popular 720 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: politician in Pakistan. He gets along quite well with President Trump. 721 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: But he was deposed by the government, the current government, 722 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: and uh so there's some in civilian in Pakistan will 723 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: see how that if that is an impact on how 724 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,319 Speaker 1: they deal with this. Uh the these these terror organizations 725 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: and separatist movements that are that are finding sanctuary in 726 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: safety within Pakistan and are attacking India. 727 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 2: He's a populist that's in prison. Uh was it the 728 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 2: Chegro Silist day or Garcia? How can we actually have 729 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 2: the Indian Ocean be something that's strategic to us? It's 730 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 2: the most important base there. Aren't we letting the Brits 731 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 2: give it away? 732 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:09,320 Speaker 1: Sir? You know it's mind boggling, Steve, the fact that 733 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,359 Speaker 1: kers Starmer wants to give the the Diego Garcia, which 734 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,399 Speaker 1: is an unpopular island. I think there are fifty years, 735 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: maybe fifty or sixty people from Diego Garcia who live 736 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: in England quite well. But he wants to give it away. 737 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: I think to the Maladives, which have strong relations with 738 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 1: the communist Chinese that's the most important base probably in 739 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: the world for America. Gives us reaching to Pacific, it 740 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: gives us reach into Central Asia, it gives us reach 741 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,720 Speaker 1: into the Middle East. And if we have to attack Iran, 742 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: the plains will take off from Diego Garcia. Now there's 743 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 1: some talk in the US we'll received a ninety nine 744 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 1: year base like similar to Bontanamo Bay in Cuba. Even 745 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: if the britsk give up the islands, but it's giving 746 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: up the Chegos Islands. Is this island chain that's unpopulated 747 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,439 Speaker 1: to a government that never has governed them and it's 748 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: not even part of their government, but asserted it's investors 749 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: and colonialism and they should have the islands instead of 750 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: the UK. It's really a bad move by Starwarts. It's 751 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 1: a woke, politically correct type move. Will harm British security 752 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: and you have security throughout the world. And I think 753 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: the Bridge still have a chance to pull it back, 754 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: but we'll see what they do. They should. 755 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 3: Uh. 756 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 2: Can you tell you you're the head of the pie up, 757 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,439 Speaker 2: the President's Intelligence Assessment Board. Can you take a minute? 758 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 2: We got some timing. Can you stay through the break? 759 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 2: We've got a three minute break coming up. Can you 760 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 2: stick with us? 761 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of. 762 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 5: Course is what is just give people overview what is 763 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 5: pie up. 764 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 1: So the PieP is the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. I'm 765 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,280 Speaker 1: a member of it. Devin Nuna is the former chairman 766 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,760 Speaker 1: of the House Intelligence Selective any Intelligence Hipsey's a chairman. 767 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 1: He's a great chairman. We've got a number of top 768 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: members that the President announced recently. And the idea is 769 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on the I SEE, to suggest 770 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: reforms the I SEE, to go to the President and 771 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: advise them on how the Intelligence Committee is servicing them 772 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: and if we think they're raised for them to do 773 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: a better job, to improve and and you know, ensure 774 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: that they operate in compliance with the US Constitution and 775 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 1: treat American citizens, you know, with their with their constitutional 776 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: protections as they should as an intelligence community. So it's 777 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: an advisory board. It meets once a month, and it 778 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: was quite an honor for the President to appoint me. 779 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,399 Speaker 1: There are not a lot of jobs for a foreign 780 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: national security advisor, but this Henry Kinstoner, a former n Essay, 781 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: Brent Scowcrofts and Singersinski, We're all on this this board, 782 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 1: the pie E And so it's kind of a refugee 783 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: home for foreign National security advisor. Who is Bernie, go 784 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 1: to the President to appoint me. 785 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 5: Hang, Hang over one second. 786 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 2: Robert O'Brien's going to join us on the other side. 787 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 6: He is your host, Stephen k Maas. 788 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:05,800 Speaker 5: Robert O'Brien. 789 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,399 Speaker 2: Relieved John Bolton as National Security Visor for the last 790 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 2: year and a half under President Trump, and I think 791 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 2: everybody that's close to President Trump can say that Robert 792 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 2: O'Brien is a safe pair of hands and calm things 793 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 2: down there. Robert Venezuela, it is a massive It's got 794 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 2: a massive potential for all gas, natural resources, but the 795 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 2: country is a complete mess. What's your recommendation to President Trump? 796 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 2: We know it's the top of mind for him in 797 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 2: this hemispheric defense from the Panama Canal to Greenland and 798 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 2: to clear out the Caribbean of the Chinese companies, parties Navy. 799 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,280 Speaker 2: Venezuela will be a lynchpin in Latin America with Brazil 800 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 2: and our allies in Argentina. What's your recommendation to the 801 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 2: President about Venezuela. 802 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: Well, listen, you're absolutely right, Steve. I think the President's 803 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: instincts and I haven't talking about this you know directly recently, 804 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: but I think the president's instinct sort of get a 805 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,879 Speaker 1: deal with the Venezuelan government and look the government, as 806 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: you know in Venezuez Maduro, he succeeded Chavez communists, you know, 807 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: not a great guy kind of hang on, hang on, 808 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: hang on, hang on. 809 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 2: But wasn't that counter isn't that counter at least to 810 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 2: the pre Robert O'Brien. I mean, weren't Bolton and Mike 811 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 2: Pompeo that they had a coup down there that reminded 812 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,799 Speaker 2: me of the movie Bananas. 813 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 5: Remember they had the guys are. 814 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 2: Going to go and it was like two companies of 815 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 2: guys in Green Uni for Madua. 816 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,439 Speaker 5: These guys are tough onmbres. As the president would say, 817 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 5: didn't we try to overthrow the government at one time? 818 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 3: Well? 819 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: Look there there was a purported coup of Timpto. Was 820 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,399 Speaker 1: it made the Bay of Pigs look like Normandy. It 821 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,840 Speaker 1: was very unsuccessful and involved about four or five guys, 822 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,839 Speaker 1: So I don't think it was much so the threat 823 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: to the Venezuelan government. But look, no one likes Chavez. Uh, 824 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: we got to face face rally here we can eat 825 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: to replace them and send one hundred first down and 826 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,839 Speaker 1: get involved in a war which the venicemunains know could 827 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: we could overthrow the regime. Guido and then the current 828 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: Galvachata probably won the election. But we've got to look 829 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: at what's in America's interests. And there are two things 830 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,720 Speaker 1: that three things I'm looking at, Tier Steve that Maduro 831 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 1: wants a deal. He wants to stay in power. He 832 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:22,959 Speaker 1: knows he's got to get a deal with President Trump 833 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: to stay in power. He doesn't he wants to make 834 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: some money off as well. And the way to make 835 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: money if you're Venezuela and get to maximize the value 836 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 1: hero is to sell to America. Because we have refiners 837 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,759 Speaker 1: here that are specifically set up to refine Venezuelan crude, 838 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: which is it's a very heavy crew. We've got the refineries, 839 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,720 Speaker 1: we've got a distribution network, and it's a million barrels 840 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 1: of oil a day. So instead of seeing those million 841 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: barrels go to China, which is our as you know, 842 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 1: as the adversary that could defect the lives of our 843 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 1: children and grandchildren, we want those million barrels a day 844 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: in America support an American manufacturing given a synergy dominance 845 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: to line up SA exports some O oil to our 846 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: allies in Japan and Europe. So number one, we want 847 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,800 Speaker 1: to get the oil, and President Trump is very focused 848 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,720 Speaker 1: on getting the resources, the minerals, the oil we need 849 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: to power this gold management in American comedy that you 850 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 1: talk about. You know, it's tax cuts, it's deregulation, it's 851 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:21,919 Speaker 1: energy dominance, and it's tariffs. And the energy dominant part 852 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 1: has helped if we do a deal with Venezuela. Number two, 853 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: Maduroa let all these bad guys. He's trying to our 854 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: gang members come to America. He literally empty out the jails, 855 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 1: as a president has talked about, and we're starting to 856 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 1: send them back to El Salvador. But we did but 857 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 1: Duau to take back all the Venezuelans that are here, 858 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: the illegal Venezuelans. The Venezuelans are here legally, are great citizens, 859 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 1: a lot of them live in Florida. They're wonderful people. 860 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 1: They're patriots or their conservatives. But the bad Venezuelans, we 861 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 1: need them back in Venezuela. We need Ador to take them. 862 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 1: And then number three, Steve, and this because the point 863 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,919 Speaker 1: you just made about the Chinese navy the Chinese navy, 864 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: Russian navy, even the Iranians have been using Venezuela as 865 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 1: a home base in the Caribbean. And so we got 866 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: to tell the Maduro, look, the deal is, we will 867 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 1: will buy your oil. We'll take we'll take it. You 868 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 1: take back your bag to folks that you send here, 869 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,320 Speaker 1: and you kick out the Iranians, you kick out the Russians, 870 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 1: and you kick out the Chinese, and then we'll deal 871 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 1: long term with the internal governance of Venezuela. Obviously supporting 872 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:28,359 Speaker 1: the democrats and get people human you know, basic human 873 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,839 Speaker 1: rights and the role of law. But let's let's take 874 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 1: an American first approach to Venezuela to start with, which is, 875 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 1: get the oil, get the bad guys out of our 876 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 1: country and back into Venezuela and prisons. Let Maduro take 877 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,439 Speaker 1: care of them, feeding, clothes them in jail, and let's 878 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 1: get the Chinese and Russians and the Iranians out. And 879 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 1: if President Trump can pull off that deal, I think 880 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: that'd be a great thing for the country. And maybe 881 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 1: probably a little diversion from John Bolton who wanted to 882 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: invade Venezuela and understand why I did. But yeah, the 883 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 1: famous tattle with the ten thousand troops written on it 884 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 1: that the press see. But I think we're probably I 885 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: don't think the American people are ready for another war 886 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,800 Speaker 1: right now. They want to end wars, not about to 887 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 1: start them. President Trump is, you know, the peacemakers, you know, 888 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 1: And so I I think we're going to see a 889 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: real good deal of Venezuela. It'll be good for America, 890 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,880 Speaker 1: and it'll be kind of a hardheaded, realistic deal, you know, 891 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 1: and it may not satisfy you know, all every everything 892 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 1: we want, but it can get the big things that 893 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:26,360 Speaker 1: are good for the American people. 894 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,800 Speaker 2: Well, we want to thank you for the great service 895 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 2: you did in the first tournament. I know you're available 896 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,399 Speaker 2: if the President need you in this second term.
