<v Speaker 5>The New Sean Hannity Show, Morvy him the scenes, information

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 5>on freaking news, and more bold inspired solutions for America for.

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Our final news roundup and information overload. Hey everyone, welcome

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 2>back to The Sean Hannity Show. This is Sarah Carter

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>filling in for my good friend Sean Hannity, and I

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 2>have another very good friend coming on the show. It's

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Lewis Elizondo. Lou Elizondo. As you know, many of you

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.680
<v Speaker 2>may have seen him. He has testified before Congress on

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 2>the unidentified aerial phenomena that is happening over our skies

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 2>and the history of that happening over our skies going

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 2>all the way back to the nineteen forties and before.

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Folks, this is a big deal.

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>He was head of the Pentagon's A tip program, and

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>he is an integral part of the disclosure process that

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>is happening in the United States. That means talking about

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>what is happening in our skies and not feeling ashamed

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 2>to talk about things we do not understand, but instead

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 2>studying them an investigating them, not poo pooing them. Right

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>like we've seen in the news in the past. We

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.559
<v Speaker 2>have an issue though happening. Of course, everybody's been watching

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 2>the news. Hundreds of drones, thousands actually swarming over you know,

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey. We've seen them coming off of the coast.

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:18.359
<v Speaker 2>People have seen them.

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>All over Jersey.

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I was concerned even flying into LaGuardia because I was like,

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>what is going on here? And I know the President

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>was concerned about this as well. We have a couple

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:29.959
<v Speaker 2>of clips we want to play for you. I want

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>to go to cut five. First, if we could go ahead,

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Ethan and play that, Thanks Jena Rider.

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:40.519
<v Speaker 7>So back to the drones. Can you I don't equivocally

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 7>say that none of the drones that are being spotted

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 7>are DoD assets or something that's being tested within the

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 7>Defense Department. Are all of these either civilian or otherwise,

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 7>but just not Department of Defense drums talking.

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.119
<v Speaker 6>About the drones in New Jersey up and down the Yes,

0:02:58.240 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 6>they are not dood assets.

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 3>One of them are.

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 6>To my knowledge, none of them are.

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 7>Okay, And are there any sort of experimental programs going

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 7>on or maybe you know, drunes are being tested it.

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 6>To my knowledge? Note, Okay, is it possible that some

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 6>of those drones could be up to malign activity. It's

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 6>entirely possible, but the vast majority that is not, you

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 6>know the case, and in the case of drones flying

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:29.639
<v Speaker 6>near over US military installations, that in and of itself,

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 6>just given the volume of drone flights we see on

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 6>a given day, is not something that's new. We take

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 6>all of those seriously.

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, this is very serious. We don't know what

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>is in our skies. We know that we have people

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>that are investigating this. We want our pilots our military

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 2>and our senior officials to feel comfortable reporting this. And

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I got to tell you, I was so disappointed when

0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I heard John Kirby about this and trying to gaslight

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.839
<v Speaker 2>the American public and other people in the Pentagon as well,

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 2>trying to gaslight the American public. Thank god we have

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>this General Pat Rder talking about this. But I'm very concerned.

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>We do not know.

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 2>We do not know what is going on because our

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 2>government is keeping us in the dark. And President Trump

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>made that very very clear. Lou, thank you so much

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>for being on the show, my friend. It's great to

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 2>have you here.

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Sarah. It is always my honor and privilege to be

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 3>with you in your wonderful audience.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Matt, I got to tell you, Lou, you're the expert.

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 2>You're the expert. You were head of the A Tip program.

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 2>You probably know more than you can divulge. You testified

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 2>before Congress. Tell me what your assessment is on these UAPs.

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, Look, the drone issue is real and it's serious.

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 3>And despite even the state of New Jersey imposing a

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 3>moratorium in all drone flights until about mid January, as

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 3>of this morning, there's still drones that are flying around

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.840
<v Speaker 3>the White House's assertion that all these are legal aircraft,

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 3>either hobbyists or you know, commercial aircraft or privately owned aircraft,

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 3>and even law enforcement aircraft. It just doesn't hold water.

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.160
<v Speaker 3>And the problem is is that it's really eroding any

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 3>faith and confidence we have in our administration. And this

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 3>is a problem because they've already said, for the record, Sarah,

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 3>that these are not foreign adversarial technologies. They've also said

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 3>that these are not our technologies. Well, then if it's

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 3>not avissarion is not ours, who's is it? And simply

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 3>to say that these are you know, private people that

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 3>are legally operating their drones. You don't shut down military

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.679
<v Speaker 3>bases because people are flying their drones legally. You shut

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 3>them down because they're being flown illegally.

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Right, let's talk about right Patterson. Right, there was an

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 2>issue there and they came clean. They said, yeah, we've

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 2>had these, you know, incidences where these drones have been

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 2>flying over. We've seen it in other bases. And lou

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 2>you talk about five observables. I've read your book, love

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 2>your book, and I you know, I pay a lot

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>of attention to what you say. But there are five

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 2>observables that the Pentagon looks for when it comes to UAPs,

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>when they are not either ours nor our enemies, and

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>when these technologies appear to be far beyond what we

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>have capabilities of.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 3>That's correct, and that was a result of our scientists

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 3>looking into this and realizing that there are five distinct

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:31.720
<v Speaker 3>performance capabilities for signatures, if you will, that make UAP

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 3>stand far and above beyond anything we have, and that

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 3>is the five observables are instantaneous acceleration, hypersonic velocities, low observability,

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 3>trans medium travel, and in the vernacular, anti gravity. And

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 3>believe it or not, Sarah, some of these UAP have

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 3>been described initially as as at least having some of

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 3>those characteristics. Some eyewitnesses report these drones coming out of

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 3>the water. Some of them report these drones when being

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 3>approached by another drone, is literally just disappearing into thin

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 3>air and maybe even having some sort of counter drone

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 3>measure on board, because at least on one or two occasions,

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 3>it appears that whatever these drones are are disabling other

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 3>people that are trying to fly a drone and get

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 3>a good picture of it, and in the words of

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 3>one source, literally disappearing into thin air. So I think

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 3>with creating so much problem here is that the administration

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 3>isn't being open and honest with the American people. And thankfully,

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 3>I think the new administration gets it and realizes that

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 3>the American people deserve the truth. You know, I've always

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 3>said we can handle the truth, and I think the

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 3>American people deserve the truth.

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I think they absolutely do deserve the truth. And I

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 2>love what you said to John Kirby. It's like, I mean,

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 2>how can you sit there and you posted this on

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 2>your X How can you sit there and say what

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 2>you're saying. Why not just come clean with the American

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 2>people and let them know unless there's something that we're

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 2>not the government's trying to protect us from. I mean,

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 2>I've seen all the reports that these could be snippers,

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 2>that we've got drones out there that might be looking

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 2>for something, God help us, radioactive or something more that

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.239
<v Speaker 2>the possibility that we may have are US drones, although

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 2>right now the generals saying that there aren't any US

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 2>military drones, that they're monitoring foreign drones in the sky,

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.119
<v Speaker 2>or as you know, we have reported in the past,

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 2>and Lou you've talked about so I mean, look, if

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 2>there was anybody in the world out there, guys that

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 2>has made it easier for people to report what is

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 2>happening in our skies.

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>It's lou Elizondo.

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you were the one that testified before Congress

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 2>along with other whistleblowers about what the Pentagon was hiding

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 2>from the American people and from the world for that matter.

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate the accolades, but truth be told, I don't

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 3>deserve all that credit there was. It's always been a

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 3>team effort. There's a lot of people behind the shadows.

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.559
<v Speaker 3>And I got to tell you, Sarah, you know you've

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 3>been championing this cause too, and ultimately it's about transparency

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 3>and honesty with the American people that at the end

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 3>of the day, you know whether these drones are Chinese

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.439
<v Speaker 3>or Russian or ours or anything else, just level with

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 3>the American people. Look, Americans are more sophisticated than I

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.720
<v Speaker 3>think our government gives credit. And you know the reason

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 3>why we are at an all time low of distrust

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 3>of our government is because of this this type of

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 3>action of constantly lying and saying for things like, well,

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 3>the Afghanistan withdrawal was successful, No, it wasn't. You have

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 3>pictures of human beings clinging onto the skin of a

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 3>C seventeen that are going to be falling to their deaths.

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't a success. And unfortunately this administration wherein now

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 3>has a bad track record of leveling with the American people.

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 3>I am extremely optimistic that this this new administration. There's

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 3>some key people there that feel very strongly about being

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 3>open and transparent with the American people and won't say

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 3>who they are, but they are in key positions, and

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 3>I think the administration is signaling correctly that it's about

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 3>time that we become more open and honest with the

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.200
<v Speaker 3>American people, particularly about a topic that involves national security,

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 3>whether it's drones or UAP or a combination of either,

0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:57.959
<v Speaker 3>or you.

0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 2>Know, I was thinking about that while you were talking

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 2>and about remember when the balloons were coming across the

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 2>United States and we eventually they had to admit that

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 2>these were Chinese and that they were probably measuring, you know,

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.559
<v Speaker 2>they were penetrating our ground using ground penetrating radar.

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>What was going on.

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 2>It was EPP in Montana, and you know Montana, Wyoming,

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 2>that's where all our ICBMs are. It was actually up

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 2>there for Sean Hannity doing a story on the Chinese

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 2>basically putting in technology into our verizon towers in an

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 2>area that is highly sensitive. And now you see these

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 2>drones going over our US military bases.

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of concern.

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 2>And just today Lou the same general and Pentagon spokesman

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Pat Ryder said that there are actually more troops than

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 2>what was being reported in Syria. It's like nobody knows

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 2>what the right hand doesn't know what the left hand

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 2>is doing. That literally, there are two thousand US troops

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 2>in Syria. I think we reported there was somewhere around

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred, and now it's double that and I have

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 2>the thank you Linda, Linda brought it to me right now, Biden.

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder says he recently learned they're actually

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 2>two thousand plus US troops deployed in Syria, far more

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 2>than the nine hundred they had previously announced. You're a

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 2>military man. There's always reasons for things. But do you

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 2>feel like we're living in a time where the right

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 2>hand doesn't know what the left is doing.

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think it's clear that is the case. We

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:30.559
<v Speaker 3>have this almost schizophrenic approach to public relations. Coming out

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 3>of the National Security Council and the White House and

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.439
<v Speaker 3>even the Pentagon, and it's frankly, it's embarrassing in any

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 3>of our foreign adversaries, our allies.

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Right, well, take a listen to this. This is the

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 2>actual audio. We've got that too, and then you respond

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 2>to it takes.

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 6>I know we have been briefing you regularly that there

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 6>are approximately nine hundred US troops deployed to Syria. In

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 6>light of the situation in Syria and the significant interest,

0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 6>we recently learned that those numbers we're higher, and so

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 6>asked to look into it. I learned today that, in fact,

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 6>there are approximately two thousand US troops in Syria. As

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 6>I understand it, and as it was explained to me,

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 6>these additional forces are considered temporary rotational forces that deploy

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:21.079
<v Speaker 6>to meet shifting mission requirements, whereas the core nine hundred

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 6>deployers are on longer term deployments. And as you know,

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 6>for many of our deployments, numbers will fluctuate from time

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:32.679
<v Speaker 6>to time. But given that this number is significantly higher

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 6>than what we've been briefing, I wanted to let you know.

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.439
<v Speaker 6>As soon as I found out this information.

0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.079
<v Speaker 2>It's like Okay, let's come clean now that we're leaving

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 2>office and we don't Yeah, we'll let everybody know the

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.440
<v Speaker 2>truth about what's going on. I mean, I feel like

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 2>that's happening everywhere loo.

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Correct, It's basically, once we got caught with our

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 3>hanes in the cookie jar, then we'll decide to come clean.

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.839
<v Speaker 3>And you know, oh, by the way, you're right, we've

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 3>been putting out inaccurate information and I think that is

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 3>again part of the problem that we're seeing is that

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 3>the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.680
<v Speaker 3>And more importantly, you know, when you start doing these

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 3>semantics between deployed and temporarily depoloid and rotational troops, look

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 3>to that troop on the ground. It doesn't matter. You

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 3>can ask your hero husband who actually served as well.

0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, for those troops on the ground, they're on

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.079
<v Speaker 3>the ground, and you know, for the administration to say, oh, well,

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.079
<v Speaker 3>because they're rotational, we really didn't count them, that's a

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 3>bunch of whoy And that's a disservice to our men

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.719
<v Speaker 3>and women in uniform who are actually serving because, let

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 3>me tell you, in combat, there's no distinction. You know,

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 3>you're all in combat you're in combat and the multives

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 3>are flying, So these folks are in danger. They're over

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 3>there in Syria, and these underestimations are unfortunately more routine

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 3>than most people realize. They're doing the same thing with

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.439
<v Speaker 3>the drowns. It's the same exact thing. They're doing it

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 3>with just about every other topic right now. And I suspect,

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know for sure, but I suspect that this

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 3>administration is probably checked out at this point. They've got

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 3>a lot on their plate. They got to deal with.

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 4>The new allegations that maybe there are some people that

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 4>knew that the press and it had some some some

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 4>of his mental faculty compromise early on is now finally

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 4>coming to light, and that some decisions remained that you know,

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 4>maybe some staffers were in positions that, you know, maybe

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.080
<v Speaker 4>they shouldn't have been, and we're making decisions that they

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 4>didn't have the authority.

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:16.080
<v Speaker 5>To make one percent.

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I've always said, who's really running that White House? Right?

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is it Obama through staffers? Is it?

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:22.440
<v Speaker 7>You know?

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Is it Michelle?

0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was certainly it was certainly a problem,

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 2>and they were trying to keep that from the public,

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 2>and it was a run a muck.

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 1>It was It was an administration. An administration, run a muk.

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Look, I'm going to be letting you go in a

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 2>few minutes, but I want everyone to hear this is

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 2>your book, Inside Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs Eminent.

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 2>You gave people a lot of courage Loo, you and

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Christopher Mellon among others, but you in particular to speak

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 2>out and speak up and tell the truth. The American

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 2>people can handle it. We can handle it right, and

0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 2>people should continue to speak out and tell the truth

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 2>about what they see in our skies.

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, Sarah, thank you for your courage, for always being

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 3>one of the first to report this. You and a

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 3>few others were really the first journalist to decide to

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 3>cover this topic. And you know what, history is going

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 3>to prove you're right, so you know.

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Hey, thank you so much. I was reporting on it

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 2>back in twenty ten. And I'll see you again, my

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 2>friend back on the show. Thank you so much for

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.440
<v Speaker 2>being with us today. Folks will be back in a moment.

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 2>This is Sarah Carter for the Sean Hannity Show. Hey, everyone,

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 2>welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show. This is Sarah Carter,

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 2>in for Sean Handity on this beautiful evening. I hope

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 2>you're all enjoying yourselves and getting everything you need for Christmas.

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>By the way, there is a strike at Amazon. I

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 2>am very concerned about. That's why I'm bringing on an

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 2>expert at our last segment, Anthony Esposito, to talk to us.

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>What's going to happen? Are we going to get our packages?

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>What is going on?

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 2>And why is all the breaking news happening today? Right

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 2>It's happening like right now, I'm just learning how to

0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.040
<v Speaker 2>do this radio show. This is crazy, and I'm we

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 2>got breaking news all over the place. By the way,

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 2>one is which the cr the Continuing Resolution, which went

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 2>from over one thy, five hundred and forty seven pages

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 2>down to one hundred and sixteen. It was sixteen Linda,

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixteen Linda. Did we do we know

0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 2>what pork was left in that bill? Yet we don't

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 2>because we got it about twenty five minutes ago and

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 2>they're voting at six o'clock. So yet again, see the

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 2>insanity of this, folks, the insanity that we don't even

0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 2>have a chance. But thank god, it's I mean, it's

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 2>been reduced, but we still don't know what's in it.

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 2>We still don't understand what's going on. And this is

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 2>the reason why we have people like you know, Congressmanship

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Roy fighting it. We've got Senators like Mike Lee screaming

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 2>mad about it. Elon Musk vivek Raamswami. I mean, we're

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna we're gonna update you. I'm sure on this. We're

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna find out what is going on in that CR.

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm grateful it wasn't the one thousand, five hundred and

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 2>forty seven.

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 1>But we will be right back.

0:16:56.120 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 2>With Anthony Esposito, CEO of Island Capital Investments, to talk

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 2>about Amazon, Will you get your Christmas Presents?

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:07.640
<v Speaker 7>The radio show, the mainstream media, a love state.

0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.959
<v Speaker 2>This is the Sean Hannity Show. All right, everyone, Hey,

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.160
<v Speaker 2>welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. This is Sarah Carter

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 2>filling in for my good friend Sean Hannity. Remember to

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 2>follow me on x at Sarah Carter DC, folks. Hakim

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Jeffries just came in the House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries.

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.600
<v Speaker 2>He said, no Democrat's gonna vote for this CR bill.

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 2>So what happens next? I guess well, we're gonna have

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 2>to wait till six pm to find out, find out

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 2>if they're gonna vote for it or if they're gonna

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 2>cave in and they're gonna do what. I don't even

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.159
<v Speaker 2>know what the Republicans say should be done some of

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.440
<v Speaker 2>these Republicans, not all Republicans. I say, we need more time.

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 2>We need to look at this bill. We need to

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 2>find out what's going on. We can't just cave in

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 2>whenever you know, somebody screams on Capitol Hill. But guess what,

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 2>right now, Amazon workers across seven facilities and this is

0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.480
<v Speaker 2>just the worst time. But this is what unions do.

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 2>They like to do what the lawmakers are doing right now.

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 2>They wait for Christmas and try to ruin it for

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:06.480
<v Speaker 2>everybody to try to get their way.

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 1>These are babies.

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 2>These are legislative bullies and Amazon bullies. Right in New York, Georgia, California, Illinois.

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 2>They go on strike, they go on strike, these team stirs,

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.439
<v Speaker 2>and they want to shut down Christmas. They are the

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 2>grinches that want to steal Christmas so that they can

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 2>get more money. That's all they care about. That's what

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.399
<v Speaker 2>they're caring about right now. It's not about Christmas, not

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:30.960
<v Speaker 2>about you. But I'm gonna find out if this is

0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 2>really going to happen. Are we really not going to

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 2>get our Christmas presents on time? My daughter will flip

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and that's okay. It's first world problems. I've got Anthony

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Esposito on. He's CEO of Island Investment Capital Investments LC

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.359
<v Speaker 2>and host of Policy and Profits. I love this podcast.

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a podcast on our economy and on our government,

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.400
<v Speaker 2>and it helps me learn what I don't know about

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 2>the stock market. He joins us now to discuss the

0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Amazon strike. Hey, Anthony's so nice.

0:18:59.080 --> 0:18:59.679
<v Speaker 1>To have you on.

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:02.520
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Sarah, thank you so much for having me. How

0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 5>are you.

0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's great.

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm so glad I could get you because this is

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.800
<v Speaker 2>breaking news. Of course, today is just breaking news all

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 2>over the place. It's like I'm being tested feet to

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 2>the fire right and now with the Amazon strike, can

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.639
<v Speaker 2>you explain exactly what's going on?

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what's happening here?

0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:20.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:24.440
<v Speaker 5>Sure, I think. I think honestly, it's being blown out

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 5>of proportion by the teamsters and by the Amazon employees

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:31.640
<v Speaker 5>that are on strike. It's ten thousand employees out of

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:36.239
<v Speaker 5>an employee base of one point five million people. And

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:41.560
<v Speaker 5>it's Amazon. So you have the most sophisticated logistics system

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 5>in place in the world within Amazon, and you have

0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.560
<v Speaker 5>ten thousand employees who, by the way, some of which

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.439
<v Speaker 5>you don't even work for Amazon. They're trying to strike

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 5>against Amazon because they want to become employees of Amazon

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 5>directly and then stay on strike to get a better deal.

0:19:57.359 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 5>So those are the drivers that work for a third

0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 5>part it's delivery service partners. I was reading up on

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:07.439
<v Speaker 5>it earlier. They don't even work for Amazon there on strike.

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 5>And then you have employees on strike, for example at

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 5>the Sutton Island facility that Amazon is challenging the constitutionality

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:20.080
<v Speaker 5>of them actually becoming part of the union of the Teamsters.

0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:23.640
<v Speaker 5>So there are legal battles in the background, and then

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.919
<v Speaker 5>there's some really illogical kind of pieces of the puzzle

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.760
<v Speaker 5>to fit together. And then around it you have ten

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:33.640
<v Speaker 5>thousand employees who are basically, you know, crying foul. They

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.880
<v Speaker 5>want more money, they want better break time, they want

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.639
<v Speaker 5>what they're calling safer environment to work. And at the

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:42.400
<v Speaker 5>end of the day, honestly, Amazon, this is not even

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.840
<v Speaker 5>a ripple for them. They're They're going to handle this fine.

0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 5>Every all the packages are going to run through. This

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 5>is not This is probably pretty akin to what they

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 5>deal with on a day to day basis, between weather,

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:59.200
<v Speaker 5>between disruptions on roadways, between airline disruptions. I don't think

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 5>it's a big deal. I would say as far as

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:05.400
<v Speaker 5>the timing it is certainly the timing of it is

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 5>to kind of strike everyone right, Like it's right. Everyone's

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 5>struggling to make ends meet, everyone's forcing a little extra

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:16.680
<v Speaker 5>trying to grab a little extra work, trying to grab

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:18.800
<v Speaker 5>a little extra cash, trying to extend their credit a

0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.720
<v Speaker 5>little further, just to make Christmas nice. And they want

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 5>people to see the headline and say, oh, Amazon is

0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.240
<v Speaker 5>the worst and Amazon is the devil in corporate America

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 5>needs to fall in all the things. So the timing

0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 5>of it's great, But will it really make a difference.

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:33.479
<v Speaker 5>I don't think anyone's going to even realize it.

0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that's great news, especially for all of

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 2>us parents out there who ordered presidents on Amazon.

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:40.240
<v Speaker 1>That is great news.

0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:42.920
<v Speaker 2>And you know, Amazon had said that they were doing

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:47.160
<v Speaker 2>this for a year long campaign to intentionally mislead the public.

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the teamsters have been working on this and

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.880
<v Speaker 2>then they strike. When you know, Christmas is hot, right,

0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 2>and then they want and they want everybody to go

0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:57.119
<v Speaker 2>into a panic. But a lot of people, Anthony, have

0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>been worried about the economy anyways. I mean everyone's word,

0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, with the stock market back and forth, with

0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, trying to make ends meet. Talk a little

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:09.280
<v Speaker 2>bit about that, I mean, because I think this is important.

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 2>You know a lot of families out there, you know,

0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:14.160
<v Speaker 2>are spending money on their credit cards, money that they

0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 2>don't have.

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 1>They got to pay that back. What are you seeing

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:18.040
<v Speaker 1>as far as that?

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think, well to start right there, that the

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 5>economy is not in great shape. And I do believe that.

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:27.840
<v Speaker 5>I mean I am very very bullish on President Trump

0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 5>and his policies and h his administration coming in. But

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 5>we're hurting. I mean, we're literally limping across the finish

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:39.399
<v Speaker 5>line from the Biden administration. And even as early as

0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 5>yesterday you had Powell come out and cut rates again

0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 5>at the said, which is creating more of a problem.

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.880
<v Speaker 5>It seems like there's more hand grenades getting tossed over

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:51.399
<v Speaker 5>at President Trump missing a pin than not as he

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:53.920
<v Speaker 5>steps into his second term.

0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:55.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so exactly what are they trying to do there? Like,

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>what are they trying to do there at the Fed?

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, the biggest problem we have, and I would lump

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:05.119
<v Speaker 5>I would lump mister Powell and Janet Yellen together. We

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:08.199
<v Speaker 5>have the Seed who's cutting rates, which is essentially not

0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 5>doing anything because the market itself is raising rates, Meaning

0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:14.840
<v Speaker 5>the Feed is trying to say they're going to reduce

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:18.200
<v Speaker 5>the bar and costs, reduced rates and make money looser

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.479
<v Speaker 5>as inflation is actually starting to tick back up. That

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:24.680
<v Speaker 5>makes zero sense. And then you have Janet Yellen, who

0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:29.480
<v Speaker 5>has personally over overseen sixteen trillion dollars in debt creation

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:34.879
<v Speaker 5>our tenure in non elected public office. To put that

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:38.959
<v Speaker 5>in perspective, our entire debt is thirty six trillion dollars,

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:42.960
<v Speaker 5>so she's overseen close to half of our debt creation,

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:45.840
<v Speaker 5>and on her way out yesterday said, hey, I think

0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 5>we really have a problem and we're probably going to

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:50.960
<v Speaker 5>have a massive issue if we don't reduce debt.

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:53.000
<v Speaker 3>So what is it?

0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Cya?

0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:56.119
<v Speaker 2>It's like, I feel like everything in the Biden administration

0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 2>is kind of cya. Admit it on your way out

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:00.920
<v Speaker 2>the door. It was with the Obama administration did too.

0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like, oh, by the way, we don't

0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:06.160
<v Speaker 2>have nine hundred troops in Syria, We've got two thousand.

0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 2>And Hey, guess what, we have this huge deficit in

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 2>this debt. Now, you guys got to take care of it.

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 5>What's going on? It is c ya. They have made

0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 5>a mess of what's going on, a mess of the system.

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 5>Top down policy has been horrendous. And the big kicker

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:26.480
<v Speaker 5>is no one expected President Trump to win.

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's I mean, that really is the big kicker.

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.919
<v Speaker 2>How do you think Trump's win is going to, you know,

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 2>affect the economy?

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 1>You said, you're very bullish on it. You have big hopes.

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I do. Two, what do you see in the future

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 1>under President Trump? I mean, deregulation is going to be

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a big deal.

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:48.160
<v Speaker 2>I think small businesses are going to benefit greatly from

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:49.360
<v Speaker 2>a Trump presidency.

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:50.520
<v Speaker 1>What are you seeing?

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think So to start with, what's really an

0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:57.119
<v Speaker 5>issue here? It's inflation, and it's a massive debt and

0:24:57.160 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 5>deficit situation that we've created in the country. And that

0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:05.600
<v Speaker 5>inflation and that and poor real GDP growth and real

0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:09.120
<v Speaker 5>employment has pushed people into a place where they can't

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.440
<v Speaker 5>afford to live. So consumer credit is a real issue.

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 5>Inflation is a real issue. These are going to be

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:19.679
<v Speaker 5>things that we need to deal with. Employment, real jobs growth,

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:21.960
<v Speaker 5>not government jobs, because if you look at the jobs

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:25.680
<v Speaker 5>and the jobs creation, you know upwards of ninety percent

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 5>of those jobs created each month that are being reported

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:33.240
<v Speaker 5>our government jobs, healthcare and education and low paying services jobs.

0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:37.159
<v Speaker 5>That is not how we build an economy. So we

0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 5>need employment to increase, inflation to come down, we need

0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:44.520
<v Speaker 5>people's credit or the amount of credits people are caring

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 5>to come down. We need rates on that credit to convey.

0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:48.879
<v Speaker 5>We need all these things to kind of work together.

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:54.120
<v Speaker 5>So the positive is the sentiment numbers are definitely popping.

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 5>Even as far as small businesses. The NFIB Small Business

0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 5>Survey had sentiment at a under with it below the

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 5>fifty year moving average for the entire presidency of Joe

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 5>Biden at Trumps and upon Trump's win, we spiked back

0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:15.200
<v Speaker 5>above one hundred, which is a three and a half

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 5>year high in optimism for the small businesses. So that's

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.440
<v Speaker 5>a good thing. And you see the same thing in

0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:27.959
<v Speaker 5>in consumer sentiments, so that's good. I think Vesince three

0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 5>three three plan is important. I think it leverages the

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 5>balance sheet of the United States, and it also leverages

0:26:34.600 --> 0:26:38.639
<v Speaker 5>our natural resources to try and a reduced deficit and debt,

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:43.400
<v Speaker 5>which will bring down inflation and be create real growth

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:47.080
<v Speaker 5>in the economy. So what that plan says, pretty simply put,

0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:50.360
<v Speaker 5>is the goal is to grow GDP by three percent,

0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:53.600
<v Speaker 5>and a real three percent, not an inflated three percent,

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 5>which is what we've seen under Biden, which is why

0:26:56.800 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 5>we're being told things are good, but we don't feel

0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 5>like things are good. We wit the kitchen table and struggle,

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:04.679
<v Speaker 5>but the headlines and Biden is like, Hey, we're se

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 5>best economy in the world. Everyone's envious of us. No, no,

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.720
<v Speaker 5>they're not. Everyone's hurting, and we're hurting worse than everyone else.

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 5>You're just kind of doing a good job with the

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:13.680
<v Speaker 5>smoke and mirrors.

0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, honestly, the whole world is hurting.

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:19.359
<v Speaker 2>There's a global there was. Certainly under Biden, the world

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:21.679
<v Speaker 2>felt that. I mean it was a shock to our system.

0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:24.560
<v Speaker 2>With the economy we're seeing, we're seeing some changes, I

0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 2>mean significant changes across the globe. With the election of

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Javier Malay, we see the economy, you know, in Argentina

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:34.680
<v Speaker 2>doing a lot better. We're seeing it in El Salvador.

0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Under naibukeyle really quickly. What can we do? What can people,

0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:43.639
<v Speaker 2>I guess within the Trump administration in particular, do look.

0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:45.360
<v Speaker 1>At Elon musk I vek Ramaswami.

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean Doge coming in do to really pump our

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 2>economy up and give us that Trump bump that everybody's

0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 2>talking about.

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:57.120
<v Speaker 5>Look, I think it's growing gdpaid at a three percent

0:27:57.200 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 5>level in real terms. I think Doze is a very

0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:03.120
<v Speaker 5>important part of reducing the desol So the second part

0:28:03.119 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 5>of the plan is to reduce the deficit to three

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 5>percent of GDP by twenty twenty eight. The best way

0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 5>to do that is to start cutting fat and trimming fat.

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 5>And there is a ton of it. I don't care

0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:15.440
<v Speaker 5>what the dem say, I don't care what the left

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:18.359
<v Speaker 5>talking points are. There's a ton of fat, and we

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 5>can reduce costs.

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, talk about that fat.

0:28:21.080 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about that's where can we reduce the fat?

0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Right here? When it comes to the economy.

0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 5>I'll tell you an item that's near and dear to

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:30.400
<v Speaker 5>my heart, and I think it's one of the first

0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:32.639
<v Speaker 5>things that needs to get done. Mister Holman has to

0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:35.280
<v Speaker 5>shut down the border. We're spending hundreds of billions of

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 5>dollars on illegal aliens coming across our border. If we

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 5>can save hundreds of billions of dollars there, we're starting

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 5>to dig into a one point eight trillion dollar deficit.

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:48.040
<v Speaker 5>It matters. I mean, these things matter. That's the first

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:50.480
<v Speaker 5>place when we start looking at the spending bills and

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 5>how much money. Look at the Inflation Reduction Act, which

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 5>was anything but it was climate legislation. It added almost

0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:58.360
<v Speaker 5>a trillion dollars to our.

0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Deficit for what well, absolutely, And you brought in a

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 2>subject that's dear to my heart too, and that is,

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:08.200
<v Speaker 2>of course, our US Mexico border and the hundreds of

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 2>billions of dollars that have been allocated US taxpayer dollars

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:17.840
<v Speaker 2>that have gone to nonprofits and other organizations just to

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:21.960
<v Speaker 2>assist the federal government, the Biden administration with their open

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:25.440
<v Speaker 2>border policy. It was like we were taking our money

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 2>and feeding it back into the beast and creating a

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:31.880
<v Speaker 2>problem not only for the world, but for us in

0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:36.200
<v Speaker 2>particular the American people. It's been a four year mess

0:29:36.360 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 2>at the border.

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:41.160
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, and it's costing us. Not only is it costing

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 5>us money directly in direct payments, we're paying for healthcare

0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 5>we're paying for housing, we're paying for schooling, and we're

0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:50.360
<v Speaker 5>giving direct payments to the illegals coming across.

0:29:51.040 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't even understand how this is. Okay, do you

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:54.720
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying?

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Like there was something wrong when I go and I'm like,

0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I was in Chicago. I was there with our Border

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.520
<v Speaker 2>nine one one foundation and I was giving a speech.

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I was there with Rodney Scott, and this gentleman stood

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:08.959
<v Speaker 2>up Anthony and he was in the audience and he

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 2>had his daughter in his hands, and he said, you

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 2>know what, I'm from South Chicago.

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I lost my job months ago.

0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I have been looking for a job, but I ended

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:22.720
<v Speaker 2>up losing my apartment, losing my job. My wife and

0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I and my daughter been living for the last few

0:30:24.800 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 2>weeks in a vehicle, in a car. That's how I've

0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 2>been sending my daughter to school, cleaning her up at

0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:32.959
<v Speaker 2>a local restaurant, sending her to school until I can

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 2>find another place to live.

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:35.240
<v Speaker 1>And I've got.

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Illegal immigrants, illegal aliens getting you know, debit cards and

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 2>apartments and housing, and I mean, the American people are

0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 2>fed up with this. And I really think this is

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:52.480
<v Speaker 2>the reason why we saw such a successful election with

0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 2>President Trump overwhelming because Americans are like, we're done.

0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:59.959
<v Speaker 5>There's no doubt, there's no debt to cost. It's not

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:04.239
<v Speaker 5>it's not a dollar cost. It's the dollar. And then

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 5>it's multiple derivatives right of that dollar, whether it's the

0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:11.920
<v Speaker 5>direct payment, whether it's paying for hotel rooms for these

0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:15.640
<v Speaker 5>illegals to stay, or housing where otherwise American citizens could

0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 5>be or I'll give you a great example of a

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 5>cost natural born citizens. Native born Americans employment levels today

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:29.080
<v Speaker 5>are lower. We've actually seen negative employment. Wow, for native

0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 5>born Americans. We are below pre COVID levels right now.

0:31:32.960 --> 0:31:35.920
<v Speaker 1>That is unbelievable. That's heart read, that's s gott wrenching.

0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:37.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to you know, we put our hearts out
