Speaker 1: Royes is always thank you for spending time with us

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: here Today. President Trump stated that Operation Epic Fury has

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: nearly completed that he expects it could be wrapped up

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: in a week or two.

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: We'll see.

20
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: We'll bring on a national security analyst, Rebecca and then

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: former Navy Seal Jonathan Gilliam to sort that out.

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: Also, I'll show you.

23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: The most important parts of President Trump's speech, so you

Speaker 1: can hear it for yourself right here in America's Voice Live.

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: All that and more coming up.

26
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: But we start today with the breaking news of the day,

27
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: never a dull moment, President Trump shaking up the Department

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: of Justice, announcing he has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi

29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: and installed a new leader, at least for a moment,

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Todd Blantz, the former assistant Attorney General. He will be

31
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: stepping in as the acting Attorney General while the administration

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: searches for a permanent replacement.

33
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: Body.

34
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: A former Florida Attorney general and longtime Trump ally, had

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: led the department since early last year, but her tenure

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: had come under intense scrutiny in recent months, including controversy

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: surrounding the handling of the files related Jeffrey Epstein and

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: much more. President Trump thanked Bondy for her service, calling

39
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: her a patriot, while saying she will transition to a

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: role in the private sector. Jeremy to discuss is Judicial

41
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Watch attorney, former Trump attorney and author of the book

42
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: DeFi Christina, Bob, Christina, nice to see you today.

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 5: Nice to see you. Thanks for having me. Steve.

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: All right, so the rumors have been circulating for a

45
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: while now that Pam Bondy was on the ropes.

46
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: So I guess today is firing is not really a surprise.

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 4: Is it.

48
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 5: No, it's not a surprise. Americans have been complaining, probably

49
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 5: since the day Pam Bondi got into office, that they

50
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 5: want to see accountability. There have been so many stories

51
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 5: of elected officials and political leaders who have been abusing

52
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 5: their office and abusing their power, and Americans have been

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 5: crying out saying, we want justice, we want to see accountability.

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 5: We want to know that there's not two tiers of justice,

55
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 5: and there really hasn't been any We haven't seen anything,

56
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 5: nothing significant anyway. So midterms are seven months away, and

57
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 5: you know whether it's Pam Bondi's fault or not, and

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: you know, you can go back and forth on that.

59
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 5: I think it was time to get someone in there

60
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 5: who at least they can try to salvage it before

61
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: the midterms, because if there aren't major changes, I think

62
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 5: they're really going to struggle in the midterms.

63
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: I think you're right about that.

64
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: There hasn't been a lot of talk about it recently,

65
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: but the Epstein files were top of the fold for

66
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: quite some time, and Pam Bomby came out and she

67
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: made a comment about that that has never set well

68
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: with any of the folks that supported Donald Trump.

69
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: I want you to hear it. We'll react to it.

70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: Here it is.

71
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's

72
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: been a directive by President Trump. I'm reviewing that. I'm

73
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: reviewing JFK files, MLK files. That's all in the process

74
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: of being reviewed because that was done at the directive

75
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: of the president from all of these agencies.

76
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: All right.

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: Now, that was months ago, Christine, and then there was

78
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: the stunt with the influencers. They're coming out with stacks

79
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: of Epstein something other. But it was nothing new. And

80
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: so when people say they want accountability when it comes

81
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: to Jeffrey Epstein, Democrats, Republicans, doesn't matter. People want well,

82
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: they want pedophiles held accountable. So when she did that,

83
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: it was like a benchmark. Okay, you said, you've got them,

84
00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: where are they.

85
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: And what are you doing about it? And nothing happened.

86
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think anybody can try to claim that

87
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 5: the way the Epstein files were ruled out was good,

88
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 5: whether it was Pambondi or Cash to tell or dam Bongino.

89
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 5: You know, several people wanting to be aggressive with the

90
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 5: Epstein files. The way that it came about in that

91
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 5: original letter that nobody wanted to sign, but they wanted

92
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: to put the statement out saying, oh, there is no file.

93
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 6: It was.

94
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 5: It was just a disaster, and I think that probably

95
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: created a lot of the hype surrounding it. I think

96
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 5: the reason why people are so interested in the Epstein

97
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 5: files and kind of clamp onto it, it has nothing

98
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 5: to do with Jeffrey Epstein, but it's the idea that

99
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: there are rich and powerful people who can do the

100
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 5: most heinous things and get away with it. And so

101
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 5: I interpret this cry, this scream for justice with the

102
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 5: Epstein files is the public wants to know that people,

103
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 5: powerful people will be held accountable for their crimes, and

104
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 5: we haven't seen that. I think that's a big question

105
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 5: mark of you know, if you're rich and powerful, can

106
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 5: you just buy off the politicians and everything's fine. And

107
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 5: that's what they're combating.

108
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're concerned about that.

109
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: One of the other things that has been obviously in

110
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: the headlines for months now is fraud in places like Minnesota,

111
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: in California, Nobody and look, I see this in the comments.

112
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: I see it on social media. You do as well.

113
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: Nobody in handcuffs. And so the Natives, the seventy seven.

114
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: Million people that voted for Donald Trump, a lot of

115
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: them are like, why is Pam Bondi still there?

116
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: Why is she not holding people accountable?

117
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: So some people celebrating today that there will be a

118
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: changing of the guard there at the Department of Justice.

119
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: The question is who gets the job?

120
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that is ultimately the question. Todd Blanche is

121
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 5: stepping in. For now, he and Pam Bondi have been

122
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 5: very in sync, so I don't see much changing under

123
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 5: Todd Blanche. I think he will be this, you know,

124
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 5: just as effective as Pam Bondi, which means no prosecutor.

125
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 5: But maybe Lee Zelden, maybe Eric is Eric Schmidt. You know,

126
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 5: there's a handful of really you know, possible candidates that

127
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 5: could step in. But I think we're gonna have to

128
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 5: wait until the actual new ag steps in to see anything.

129
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 7: We'll see.

130
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 5: They got to hurry because the midterms are coming.

131
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they need results. You're on the money there, Christina.

132
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: They need results, They need to see people held accountable,

133
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: whether it's for epstein or fraud. Or we've seen members

134
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: of Congress here the one congresswoman from Florida skimming five

135
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: million dollars from a fraud and not giving up her seat.

136
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: We have new allegations that Alexandrio Cassio Cortesius nineteen thousand

137
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: dollars for her therapist. These are things that people are like,

138
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: wait a second, we couldn't get.

139
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: Away with that. Why are they getting away with it?

140
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 2: Why are they not in handcuffs?

141
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 8: Right?

142
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 5: Yeah? And they almost flaunt it at this point, like

143
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 5: there doesn't appear to be any shame or any concern

144
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 5: that they ever will be held accountable. And I mean,

145
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 5: if we're being honest, nineteen thousand dollars of campaign fraud

146
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 5: is a drop in the bucket compared to what we've

147
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 5: been seeing. You know, Stacy Abrams got two billion dollars

148
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 5: to her nonprofit. And if we're being fair, calling you know,

149
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 5: saying calling it on both sides, Christy Nome sending two

150
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 5: hundred million dollars to her friends media company for sixty

151
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 5: second con I mean, there's so much stuff going on

152
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 5: that makes you scratch your head that some of this

153
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 5: other stuff, like the nineteen thousand dollars. People aren't even

154
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 5: blinking at it right now. That's the problem. It's a problem.

155
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 5: It should be something that they all should be concerned about,

156
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: but none of them are concerned about it because we

157
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 5: haven't seen any accountability.

158
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'm no expert on family matters, but

159
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: Christine no might have bigger problems to concern herself with today,

160
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: just just throwing that out there, that her concerns might

161
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: be a little bit more centered at home.

162
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: Very complex, all right, So, yeah, yeah, very complex. We're

163
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: not getting into that today.

164
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: One of the I mean, I think that the president

165
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: has an opportunity here to bring in somebody who can

166
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: really shake things up. I really like Eric Schmid, the

167
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: senator from Missouri. I have no idea if he has

168
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: a shout at this job. Lee Zelden mentioned the EPA

169
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: administrator currently well thought of a good attorney.

170
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: But when I talk about somebody like an Eric Schmid,

171
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: I talk about.

172
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: Somebody who's been an attorney general state of Missouri, obviously,

173
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: somebody who pulls no punches, somebody who is a law

174
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: and order by the book. Let's get it done, let's

175
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: get the investigation complete. And then you mentioned cash Bettel

176
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: because it has to work in concert oftentimes with other agencies,

177
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: including the FBI. There has to be a coordination inside

178
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: the administration to target some of these will some of

179
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: these scandals.

180
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 5: Doesn't there yes, of course, And you can't forget about

181
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 5: the fact that the agencies themselves, meaning many of the

182
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 5: career people who work there, do not support this president

183
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 5: and do not support this president's agenda. So they've got

184
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 5: to figure out how to further that agenda, how to

185
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 5: navigate that while your own employees are actually trying to

186
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 5: oppose you. So you need someone very strong, very determined,

187
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 5: who's not afraid to deal with career bureaucrats who end

188
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 5: up being in the way and who you know, sometimes

189
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 5: you hang one pelt on the fence and you don't

190
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 5: have an issue. There's different ways to handle it, but

191
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 5: you need someone who knows how to handle that situation

192
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: and can actually make the department function the way that

193
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 5: it needs to to support this administration.

194
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned before we came on, the Democrats do

195
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: this completely differently. The Republicans look like, well, they look

196
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: like a clown show half the time.

197
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: I'm just going to be honest. They're not getting it done.

198
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: They're not holding people accountable.

199
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: The people that voted for Donald Trump are frustrated, and

200
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: that's being kind. But the Democrats have a completely different playbook.

201
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: Explain, yeah, they do.

202
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 4: So.

203
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 5: Democrats outsource everything. They know that the department is too

204
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 5: bloated and non functional, and they also do have an

205
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 5: advantage that many of the career bureaucrats do support them,

206
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 5: so they don't have as much internal strife that we're

207
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 5: publicans do. However, they have a whole network of nonprofit

208
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 5: lawyers that you do everything pro bono out of the

209
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 5: goodness of their heart. They build up these cases and

210
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 5: they hand them off to a political appointee who will

211
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 5: prosecute them when when the actual leg work of it

212
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 5: is all done outside of the government. We're seeing this

213
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 5: is a growing trend. I first became aware of it

214
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty. We've done a lot of investigative work

215
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 5: on this at Judicial Watch. But we are seeing that

216
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 5: Democrat ags at the state level, and then, you know,

217
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 5: I believe at the federal level. They outsource the work

218
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 5: and then they bring in a special counsel who's outside

219
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 5: right outsource the work, who then brings a team of

220
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 5: outside people who just complete the job, so they're much

221
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 5: more proficient at it because they don't they just bypass,

222
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 5: they go around the bureaucracy.

223
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: What about the politicization of the depart of Justice.

224
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: This is something that has been systematic and systemic throughout government.

225
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: You've got these career bureaucrats in there, and if they

226
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: don't like Donald Trump, they just slide the case to

227
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: the side.

228
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 2: The FBI they don't want to investigate it.

229
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: They slide the case to the side until they get

230
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: called out, if they ever get called out on it.

231
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: So politics inside these departments. That's a real problem, isn't it.

232
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 5: It's a significant problem. It is very, very significant, And

233
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 5: I think it's significant specifically for this administration because it

234
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 5: was so polarizing despite the fact that Donald Trump had

235
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 5: a landslide historic victory. And it's Washington, d C. I

236
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 5: love DC, it is my home. But the people here

237
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 5: don't like Donald Trump. I mean, they're ninety nine point

238
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 5: seven percent liberal like something like that, and they just

239
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 5: want to oppose him. They feel morally superior, they feel

240
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 5: morally obligated to oppose him, and they think it's appropriate.

241
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 5: So it's a tough it's a tough environment to work,

242
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 5: and you need an attorney general who can come in

243
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 5: and clean all that out. Either figure out how to

244
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 5: make the department work or figure out how to clean

245
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 5: out the department. Ideally both, but if you don't have

246
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 5: time to do both, at least clean out the department.

247
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: All right, Christina Bob, thank you for being here.

248
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: Of the book, by the way, is defiant, Christina Bob

249
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: on the receiving end of some of that politicized legal action.

250
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: You can read the book there it is, Christina. I

251
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: always appreciate talking to you. Thank you, Thanks, Steve, really

252
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: appreciate all right. After the break last night, President Trump

253
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: declared the Iran conflict is nearing completion after about thirty

254
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: three days of intense US and Israeli strikes on Iron's

255
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: war machine. We're going to discuss it in detail coming up.

256
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:42,479
Speaker 1: Stay with us here in America's Voice Live. In Wednesday's

257
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: prime time address to the Nation, President Trump signaled that

258
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: the conflict could be wrapping up in the coming weeks

259
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: in Iran after intense strikes from both Israel and the

260
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: United States.

261
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: Here's a bit of what he said. Take a look.

262
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 4: Thanks to the progress we've made, I can say night

263
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 4: that we are on track to complete all of America's

264
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 4: military objectives shortly, very shortly. We're going to hit them

265
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 4: extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're

266
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 4: going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where

267
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 4: they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing.

268
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: Well.

269
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: He kind of said two things there. We could wrap

270
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: it up or we could bomb them into the Stone Age.

271
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: The President also warned that if Ron refused to back down,

272
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: like you said there, the strikes good intensive. I sing

273
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: America holds the advantage and is determined to stop Around's

274
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: nuclear threat and support for tear and of course their

275
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: missile program too. Join me to discuss as national security

276
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: analyst and vice president of the Lexington Institute, Doctor Rebecca Grant, Doctor,

277
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: thank you for being here today. All right, your take

278
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: on the speech, his comments, Where are we today?

279
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 9: I thought it was a very strong speech, very presidential,

280
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 9: and really laid out the case of why, you know,

281
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 9: we tried to pay off Iran. We tried all sorts

282
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 9: of things, and the goal of Operation Epic Fury has

283
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 9: been to cripple Iran's military. It's worked really well. But

284
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 9: Admiral Cooper in Central Command has a bit more of

285
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 9: a target set to work. So to me, when the

286
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 9: President talks about bombing them back to the Stone Age,

287
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 9: I think of the pictures of the bombers that have

288
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 9: destroyed a lot of Iran's industrial base, defence, industrial base, drones, missiles,

289
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 9: navy underground and a ship cruise, missile bunkers along the

290
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 9: coast of the Strait of Hormuz, all of that. So

291
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 9: Admiral Cooper still needs time to complete that target set.

292
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 9: That is what is going to make America safer in

293
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 9: the long run.

294
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: You know, a couple of days ago, President Trump put

295
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: out a true social post saying, basically, to the countries

296
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: of Europe, you did nothing to help us here. In fact,

297
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: some countries have their airspace closed to American military aircraft now,

298
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: including Spain and some others.

299
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: And basically he said, if you need the oil, go

300
00:14:59,160 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: get it yourself.

301
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: I like that too, actually, doctor, because it looks like,

302
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: once again, it's always hey, big brother, can you go

303
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: take care of this? When Ukraine happened, it was hey,

304
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: bring all your equipment, bring your javelin missiles, and mostly

305
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: bring all your money. And when we said, hey, we

306
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: need some help here, we basically got the complete brush off.

307
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: What do you think about that comment earlier, because there

308
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: are concerns that NATO could have some ruptures in it

309
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: and at this point they can't count in the United

310
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: States to pay the bill every single time and bring

311
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: all the toys to the playground.

312
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 9: Your thoughts, well, I think President Trump is pretty cross

313
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 9: with some of our key NATO allies. Spain's comment was

314
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 9: very performative, considering that we use a big port of

315
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 9: THEIRS for missile defense of Europe for our navy. But

316
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 9: a couple of things going on here one Britain. Despite

317
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 9: here Starmer's kind of weak language, Britain's actually been and gay.

318
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 5: They have their RIF typhoon and F thirty five fighters.

319
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 9: They are shooting down drones and their RAF security regimen

320
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 9: has knocked out some drones as well. The European allies

321
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 9: plus Japan and South Korea are over in the Red

322
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 9: Sea with an operation called Prosperity Guardian which is helping

323
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 9: to protect traffic from the HOODI attacks, which if you

324
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 9: remember those a couple of years ago, they've gone way down.

325
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 9: But that tells us that our allies really are able

326
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 9: to send a paight surveillance plane, send a destroyer, send

327
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 9: some forces to help out with Hormos. If they're willing

328
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 9: to do it, they're going to meet on.

329
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 5: That next week.

330
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 9: I think part of this is again waiting for a

331
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 9: little bit more completion of that coastal target set with

332
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 9: our air power working in Central Command. But there's no

333
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 9: question this has not been our NATO ally's finest day.

334
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 9: And I think an undercurrent here is that they are

335
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 9: that a lot of them don't like Israel, but the

336
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 9: fact is they have they've really, in their language, they

337
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 9: have stood off far too much from Operation Epic Fury,

338
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 9: considering that they are going to benefit. They all know

339
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 9: they were within range of Iran's missiles, and is the

340
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 9: US that's gone in there and taken out that missile

341
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 9: capability for them.

342
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: The impact on the economies of European nations also at

343
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: stake here. Reports today that the UK is running low

344
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: on jet fuel because they don't have an adequate supply.

345
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: We do, they don't, so it is in their best

346
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: interest to make sure the State of Hormuz remains open

347
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: and oil begins to flow again. It is interesting to

348
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: note that since Donald Trump's comments last night, the price

349
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: of oil has skyrocketed. The speculators, the manipulators, and frankly

350
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: the profiteers.

351
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: They're not too worried about the war ending in a week.

352
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't appear because they're driving the price up to

353
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: day to one hundred and eleven dollars.

354
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 2: Now it had gotten down to about ninety. What do

355
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: you make of that?

356
00:17:58,800 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 10: Right?

357
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 9: Well, I wish i'd filled up my pickup truck. But

358
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 9: you know, we are going to see these spikes, okay,

359
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 9: But I think at some point we are going to see,

360
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 9: as the President says, to see oil come down. And

361
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 9: you know, kind of shame on Europe for not offering

362
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 9: to help out and more publicly right away when they

363
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 9: were asked the first time. I wish that they would

364
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 9: go and do that in addition to the forces that

365
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 9: are there. But I think overall we're going to see

366
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 9: more stability in the Strait. And I'll tell you one

367
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 9: real win here is you know, most of the oil

368
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 9: going through Hormuz, ninety percent of it goes to Asia

369
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 9: and China gets almost maybe half of their petroleum products

370
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 9: through that straight. Well, look who's sitting there ready to

371
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 9: be more leveraging and controlling straight of Hormuz, and I'm

372
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 9: telling you that is something that Chiesiping in China is

373
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 9: noting as well. Just see if he wants to mess

374
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 9: with strategic mineral access after this. But the Europeans have

375
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 9: got to realize that they do have a lot of

376
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 9: critical infrastructure, whether that's the oil flow, data centers. We've

377
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 9: seen data centers attacked in the Gulf States. Pretty big

378
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 9: shock there. So Iran was a huge menace. And President

379
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 9: Trump said last night, if we hadn't done Operation Epic Fury,

380
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 9: Iran was going to start the extortion of using the

381
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 9: missiles in all of this, and that is what he

382
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 9: has prevented for America, but for Europe, for the whole

383
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 9: world as well.

384
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, the last wildcard really here on the table is

385
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: what is it going to take to secure that four

386
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: hundred kilograms give or take of enriched uranium. We know

387
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: the ten thousand new military personnelity the United States, including

388
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: marine expeditionary units, have been dispatched in.

389
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 2: The Middle East.

390
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: A lot of Americans, including folks that voted for Donald Trump,

391
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: do not want to see troops on the ground, but

392
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: it looks.

393
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: Like it could be necessary to extract that uranium. Last

394
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 2: word to you.

395
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 9: The US forces can extract it if so ordered, but

396
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 9: another option is to watch it carefully. We are never

397
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 9: going to let Iran have a missile and air defense

398
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 9: shield again. We'll be able to get in there with

399
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 9: our aircraft, with ground forces if necessary, at any time,

400
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 9: if that's what we need to do. But it all

401
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 9: depends on the intel as to where that uranium really is.

402
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: That's a good point, and with the skies being open,

403
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: the intel gets better every day, Doctor Rebecca Grant.

404
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: Always good to talk to you. Thank you, thank you.

405
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: All right, after the break, I'll see you.

406
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: The most important parts of President Trump's speech from last night.

407
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: You don't want to miss this coming off on AVL.

408
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: All right, let's continue now.

409
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: The President addressed the war in Iran last night, and

410
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: despite all the doom and gloom from some in the

411
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: media on both sides of the aisle about President Trump

412
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: potentially announcing boots in the ground, that scenario was not

413
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: mentioned at all. Instead, the President tried to make his

414
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: case for the war directly, hitting back of those saying

415
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: this isn't America.

416
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 2: First listen to this.

417
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 4: From the very first day I announced my campaign for

418
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 4: president in twenty fifteen, I have vowed that I would

419
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 4: never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. This finnacular

420
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 4: regime has been chanting death to America, death to Israel

421
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 4: for forty seven years. Their proxies were behind the murder

422
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 4: of two hundred and forty one Americans and the Marine

423
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 4: barracks bombing in Beirut, the slaughter of hundreds of our

424
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 4: service members with roadside bombs. They were involved in the

425
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 4: attack on the USS coal and they carried out the

426
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 4: countless other heinous acts, including the blood just horrible, bloody

427
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 4: atrocities of October seventh in Israel.

428
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Arod has propped up all the terrorist organizations you've

429
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: heard in the headlines Hamas, the Hohothi's has Belah and

430
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: Al Shabab operating in parts of Africa, attacking Christian attacking

431
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: American interests.

432
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 2: They've done it for forty seven years. And President Trump's

433
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: right about.

434
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: Having promised from the very first day of his campaign

435
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: that iron must never have a nuclear weapon.

436
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: He's exactly right about that.

437
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: The President also made note that none of this would

438
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: have needed to happen with the president's before him, like

439
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, George W.

440
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: Bush or Joe Biden would have made a move to.

441
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: Stop the Iranian regime, but in some cases, notably with

442
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: President Obama's Iran deal, he actually enabled the Iranian regime

443
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: to hold on to power.

444
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 4: Here's that Obama gave them one point seven billion dollars

445
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 4: in cash, green green cash, took it out of banks

446
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 4: from Virginia, DC and Maryland. All the cash they had,

447
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 4: flew it by airplanes in an attempt to buy their

448
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 4: respect and loyalty. But it didn't work. They laughed at

449
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 4: our president and went on with their mission to have

450
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 4: a nuclear bomb. Essentially, I did what no other president

451
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 4: was willing to do. They made mistakes, and I am

452
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 4: correcting them.

453
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 2: A lot of work to do after forty seven years.

454
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: And whether or not you agree with what's happening in

455
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: Iran and the current conflict there, it is impressive what

456
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: American might has done with the Iranian military. Iran was

457
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: no lightweight when it came to power in projecting power

458
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: across the region. They have, or at least had in

459
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: this case, a large military, and we're essentially the strongest

460
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: power in the Middle East. And in mere weeks it's decimated,

461
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: and I mean decimated. Del Trump also made that case

462
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: very clear.

463
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 4: Our objectives are very simple and clear. We are systematically

464
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 4: dismantling the regime's ability to threaten America or project power

465
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 4: outside of their borders. That means eliminating Iran's navy, which

466
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 4: is now absolutely destroyed, hurting their air force and their

467
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 4: missile program at levels never seen, and annihilating their defense

468
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 4: industrial base. We've done all of it. Their navy is gone,

469
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 4: their air force is gone, their missiles are just about

470
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 4: used up or beaten. Our armed forces have been extraordinary.

471
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 4: There's never been anything like it. Militarily. Everyone is talking

472
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 4: about it, and tonight I'm pleased to say that these

473
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 4: core strategic objectives are nearing completion.

474
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: Nearing completion. But if they don't comply, then it's going

475
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: to get worse, he says. Now, reflecting on the conversation,

476
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: I just have a doctor, Rebecca Grant.

477
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: How about our friends over there in Europe?

478
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: They make you a big stink over rising energy cauts

479
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: because a lot of the energy comes through the State

480
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: of hor moves.

481
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 2: They depend on it. We don't, which Ron has now

482
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: basically closed the straits.

483
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: However, they have shown us directly that they do not

484
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: want to help, even closing military bases to American assets,

485
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: and that has started a massive debate. Should America be

486
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: subsidizing European security anymore? Do we get enough strategic value

487
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: from NATO now compared to the last several decades. Well,

488
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: President Trump certainly seems to be weighing the answers to

489
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: those questions. And because the Europeans won't help, you sold

490
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: them to go ahead and secure the oil and the

491
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: straits themselves.

492
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 4: Here it is to those countries that can't get fuel,

493
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 4: many of which refuse to get involved in the decapitation

494
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 4: of Iran. We had to do it ourselves. I have

495
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 4: a suggestion Number one, by oil from the United States

496
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 4: of America. We have plenty, We have so much. And

497
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: number two, build up some delayed courage. Should have done

498
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 4: it before, should have done it with us as we asked.

499
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 4: Go to the strait and just take it, protect it,

500
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 4: use it for yourselves. Iran has been essentially decimated. The

501
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 4: hard part is done.

502
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: And keep an eye on what's going to be happening,

503
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: because well you just never know, wars tend to take

504
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: out a life of their own.

505
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: This one could as well. See how this finishes out.

506
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: Think about this back in two thousand and six, twenty

507
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars bought you about thirty three ounces of gold

508
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: at spot price. At today's prices, those thirty three ounces

509
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: will be worth what one hundred and fifty grand. Smart

510
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals,

511
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: and that's why you need to consider buying gold from

512
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: my friends at Birch Gold Group. For thousands of years,

513
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: gold has been a store of wealth, and today it's

514
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: a crucial part of any balance strategy. Even better, Birch

515
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: Gold can help you convert existing IRA air FORUR and

516
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: K into a tax sheltered retirement account in gold. Just

517
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,520

518
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: eight to receive your free information kit on gold. There

Speaker 1: plus for a better business bureau and tens of thousands

Speaker 1: of happy customers and birds Gold. Help you diversify with

522
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: gold now, because that's peace of mind. Text America to

00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,240

00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: Do that today. You will sleep better tonight. Coming up

526
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: after the break.

527
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: Before we go to break, I want to inform you

528
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: that TPUSA will be hosting there. This is the Turning

535
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: Now coming up after the break, more breaking news today

536
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: on America's Voice Live.

537
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 2: I'll be right back.

538
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 9: Right.

539
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: As I stated earlier, President Trump plans to increase the

540
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: pressure on Iran until they come to a deal a

541
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: negotiations for being ongoing in the deadline to reach a

542
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: deal at least for today is April the sixth. That's

543
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: this coming Monday. And then we have the breaking news

544
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: of Pam Bondi being removed as the Attorney General. As

545
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned as well, Joe me to discuss former FBI

546
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: special agent, former Navy Seal Jonathan Gilliam.

547
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: Jonathan, nice to see you again today. Good to be

548
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: with you, Steve. Let's start with Pam Bondy.

549
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: It's pretty safe to say that a lot of Trump supporters,

550
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: millions of them, were not fan favorites of Pam Bondy.

551
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: They wanted results, they weren't seeing it. The natives were restless,

552
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 1: and today she's out your thoughts.

553
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 11: I think Pam Bondi had several things going against her.

554
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 11: Let's start with the most blaring one was that she's

555
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 11: terrible on TV and in front of a microphone. Secondly,

556
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 11: her image of showing up and like at clickbaitter at

557
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 11: events was or the rest for instance, was it just

558
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 11: it didn't look like she was doing the work. It

559
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 11: looked like she was using the platform. So I think

560
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 11: that was a that was a first of all, a

561
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 11: huge thing. The the issue with the Epstein files and

562
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 11: that debacle that really I think started a lot of

563
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 11: people down the road of not trusting the administration. That

564
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 11: that voted for the administration. I think a lot of

565
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 11: that is her fault. And I believe also, who's tell

566
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 11: me who's been locked up? That is a part of

567
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 11: this leftists in the country to overthrow the country that

568
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 11: they actually say they went over throw the country. Nothing,

569
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 11: There's been nothing.

570
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a big part of the problem. I

571
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: want to show one clip here giving an example of

572
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: Pam Bondi behind the microphone that did not go particularly

573
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: well not long ago.

574
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 10: Here it is, you sit here and you attack the president,

575
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 10: and I Am not going to have it. I'm not

576
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 10: going to put up with it. You know all they

577
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 10: want to do. All the American people need to know this.

578
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 10: They are talking about Epstein today. This has been around

579
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 10: since the Obama administration. This administration released over three million

580
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 10: pages of documents, over three million, and Donald Trump signed

581
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 10: that to release all of those documents. He is the

582
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 10: most transparent president in the nation's history. And none of them,

583
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 10: none of them, ask Merrik Garland, over the last four years,

584
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 10: one word about Jeffrey Epstein. How ironic is that? You

585
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 10: know why?

586
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 5: Because Donald Trump? The doo.

587
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 10: The dow right now is over. The Dow is over

588
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 10: fifty thousand doll I don't know why you're laughing. You're

589
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 10: a great stock trader. As I hear Raskin, the DOO

590
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 10: is over fifty thousand right now, the S and P

591
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 10: at almost seven thousand.

592
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: And Jonathan there, she's not on the wrong path. Then

593
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: she completely loses the script. Her talking about where the

594
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: Dow is has nothing to do with holding people accountable,

595
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: and people are scratching their head, going, what is she

596
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: talking about your thoughts.

597
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 11: Not only is she not holding people about it. When

598
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 11: she was talking about it, she wasn't talking about the

599
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 11: Epstein issue. She was talking about the fact that the

600
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 11: Democrats when they were in office didn't release anything as well.

601
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: This is the attorney General.

602
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 11: She's in charge. She's the highest law enforcement officer in

603
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 11: the United States. She's in charge of these investigations. And

604
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 11: the reality is she never talked about going and looking

605
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 11: at these people and holding them accountable. She just bragged

606
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 11: about releasing information. And when she was talking to that

607
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 11: here in the Senate, she was talking about how they

608
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 11: released more information than the other person. Well, the last

609
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 11: I checked, when you have a case and you have victims,

610
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 11: you don't rush to release the information. You rush to

611
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 11: solve the case. And she's never done that. She's never

612
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 11: done it with anything. As I was saying, you know

613
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 11: we were talking off air. You know, all these things

614
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 11: that went on in Minneapolis, all these protests around the country,

615
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 11: I've never seen a DOJ task force, an FBI agent's

616
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 11: going and arresting people for federal charges and putting them

617
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 11: in a database so they have a list of who

618
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 11: these people are so they can do investigations on them

619
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 11: never not one.

620
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: Time, Yeah, and then they show up with the next

621
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: protest the next They're on this revolving justice system where

622
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: they never get held for anything.

623
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: Last word to you, Jonathan.

624
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: We've only got a moment here, but I am curious

625
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: about your response to the President's speech last night.

626
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 2: Where we are with the war in Iran. Your assessment.

627
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 11: I think the President is doing what many presidents before

628
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 11: for forty seven years have not done, which is dealt

629
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 11: with the threat of Iran. It's constantly im in its threat.

630
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 11: They've killed more Americans than any other country since Vietnam.

631
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 11: And he finally, whether it's the nuclear issue the rockets

632
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 11: their ability to carry out terrorist attacks, or breaking down

633
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 11: the effectiveness of their intelligence apparatus, which is the most

634
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 11: dangerous part of all that the president has stepped in

635
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 11: and put a stop to it. We're not beholden to anybody.

636
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 11: His timeline is not beholden to anybody. He can go

637
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 11: at the pace that he sees best for our military

638
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 11: to complete the mission. That's what I see him doing,

639
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 11: That's what he's shown us that he's doing. He did

640
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 11: it in Venezuela. He did it, and I ran before.

641
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 11: And I think this president, along with Pete Hexath, who

642
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 11: you know, I've been hard on Pete Hexath, I think

643
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 11: they have done.

644
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: An amazing job.

645
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 11: And they have put a military back together and a

646
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 11: commander in chief exist that knows how to use it

647
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 11: in a way that is effective, not in a way

648
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 11: that pays off the military industrial complex for their re

649
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 11: election campaign money.

650
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: This is what war is all about.

651
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 11: Haven't fought anything like this since World War Two.

652
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: And it is time in my estimation, that they've finished

653
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: the job. Don't leave early so we have to go

654
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: back in six months for a couple of years. Finish

655
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: the jo Jonathan Gilliam always always a pleasure.

675
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,960

676
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 13: shaped the Bible as we know it today.

677
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 12: What do you think is the biggest misconception?

678
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 14: The biggest misconceptions early on was that somehow the scrolls

679
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 14: were going to undo our beliefs.

680
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: It actually does the opposite.

681
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 8: What we are still practicing day has a genetic connection

682
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 8: all the way back two thousand years.

683
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,160

00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: All right, continuing the discussion now and the firing of

687
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: Attorney General Pam Bondi apparently had happened before the present

688
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: step to the podium.

689
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 2: Last night for his prime time address.

690
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: The assessin ag Todd Blanche temporarily in charge here to

691
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: discuss our next guest legal expert in the host of

692
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: the What's Right Show, Sam Marzowski.

693
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: Sam, nice to see you. Always a pleasure to be

694
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: with you, Steve.

695
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: I've been sorting through the comments in the chat section.

696
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: I've been searching social media and talk to a couple

697
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: of guests.

698
00:35:58,640 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 2: You you're my third.

699
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 9: Uh.

700
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: Nobody seems concerned that Pam Bonios lost your job. In fact,

701
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: there seems to be a celebratory nature to it. All

702
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: your thoughts, well, I am with uh, with everybody else

703
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: on this. You know, I was not a big fan

704
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: of hers.

705
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 2: To begin with.

706
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 8: I thought she was an unseerious candidate and and I

707
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 8: think largely selected because there was a belief she would

708
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 8: look good on TV and uh, you know, and came

709
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 8: from Florida and was loyal to the president. But you know,

710
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 8: this job called for somebody who was a serious prosecutor

711
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 8: and who understood how to how to manage federal prosecutions.

712
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 8: Who had spent you know, years preferably in the trenches

713
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 8: as an ausa and had come up in the system

714
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 8: and and that certainly wasn't her, and and and so

715
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 8: now we're you know, we've got a vacancy. It's an opportunity.

716
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 8: So I think, you know, the most important thing now

717
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 8: for the president is to not miss twice.

718
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Leezelden's name has come up.

719
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: He's currently the administrator at the e P, A well

720
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 1: thought of, Wellspogan done good work at the e PA.

721
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: Do you have anybody you see on the horizon that

722
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: you think would be good for the job.

723
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 8: Well, there's there's sort of a top four, top five,

724
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 8: depending on how you you know, where you're coming from.

725
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 8: And the chatter right now, of course has has Lee

726
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 8: has Lee Zelden in the mix. Uh, he's a contender.

727
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

728
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 8: It has a Harmeat Dillon who and she, of course,

729
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 8: you know, being already in the Department of Justice in

730
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 8: the Civil Rights Division and being in you know, an

731
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 8: early uh A Trump aligned attorney and really in the

732
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 8: trenches and have earned her chops in that I think

733
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 8: is well regarded. Todd Blanche, the acting uh AT Acting

734
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 8: Attorney General now with Pam BONDI leaving. You know, he

735
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 8: was Trump's lawyer. But but don't you know, don't dismiss him,

736
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 8: don't sleep on him. He is a fantastic you know, experienced,

737
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 8: uh you know, a veteran of Federal Court of Criminal

738
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 8: Process Acutions. He was a longtime AUSA so assistant US attorney.

739
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 2: So you know, I like him.

740
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 8: And then you know, and then there's DeSantis. You know,

741
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 8: Ron de Santis is nearing the end of his term

742
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 8: in Florida, and he is, you know, he is somebody

743
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 8: that while you know, I'm a little bit, I'm a

744
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 8: little bit kind of a little colder on him than

745
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 8: a lot of other people, given his response to the

746
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 8: malicious prosecution of Trump under the Biden regime. But he

747
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 8: does know how to wield executive power. He has proven

748
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 8: in Florida that he knows how to clean things up

749
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 8: and take control of an executive branch of government. And

750
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 8: here he would set his sights, I believe, on cleaning

751
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 8: up the elections. He understands how important that was to

752
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 8: saving Florida. So you know, I wouldn't sleep onto Santis either.

753
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: All right, And my my dark horse is Eric Schmid

754
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: a Missouri former attorney general and a hard hitting senator.

755
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: That's my guy, Sam. But I don't know that he's

756
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: made the list anywhere, but I do appreciate it. We

757
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: gotta leave it there for today. Sam, greatly appreciate you stopping,

758
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: and we'll see how this plays out. Of course, whoever

759
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: it is will get a viscerated during confirmation hearings about

760
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: the United States Senate because the Democrats have nothing else

761
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: to do with their time.

762

Speaker 1: go on your way. This will make you smile. Under

792
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: President Trump, the US Department of Labor is proposing a

793
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: major change that could expand investment options from millions of

794
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: Americans saving for retirement and maybe that's you. The new

795
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: rule would allow managers of four oh one K plans

796
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: to include more alternative investments like private equity, while setting

797
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: clear guidelines for how those options are chosen. Enjoining me

798
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: to discuss this, the senior director of Government Affairs at

799
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: the National Taxpayers Union, Tommy Ilo, Tommy.

800
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: Good afternoon.

801
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: All right, So what does this mean for the folks

802
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: who got some money that they want to invest?

803
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 7: Well, good afternoon, it's great to be with you. On Monday,

804
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 7: the DL Department of Labor announced that a rule that's

805
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 7: really encouraging for the seventy plus million Americans who have

806
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 7: a four to oh one k. Effectively, what they're doing

807
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 7: is they're allowing plans to offer their clients the option

808
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 7: to invest in their retirement dollars into alternative assets. Those

809
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 7: are things like private equity, digital assets, real estate, and more.

810
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 7: And this is a really good thing because the private

811
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 7: asset market is a twenty trillion dollar market and right

812
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 7: now Americans are effectively locked out from all of that opportunity.

813
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 7: So it's a great news to democratize and diversify their portfolios.

814
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: It scares me a little bit knowing what happened to

815
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: the Oregon Teachers Union. They in private equity, They've got

816
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: a four percent return over ten years while the market

817
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: did forty percent.

818
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 2: So you got to be careful no matter where you invest, don't.

819
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,479
Speaker 7: You, of course? And I think that's why it's part

820
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 7: of a larger investment strategy about eighty nine percent of

821
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 7: public pensions right now are invested in private equity and

822
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 7: other alternative assets. But what we need to remember is

823
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 7: when you look at a holistically, a four oh one

824
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 7: K plan needs to include a lot of different things.

825
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 7: Right now, they're only allowed to invest in publicly traded

826
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 7: companies and bonds. The publicly traded companies, they've declined by

827
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 7: half since the nineteen nineties. So part of this plan

828
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 7: one needs to make sure we allow more make it

829
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 7: easier for more companies to go public, and we need

830
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 7: to add more money into the system for people to

831
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 7: invest their dollars in.

832
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know the restrictions.

833
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: I've never understood that you can't invest in things like

834
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: real estate when real estate has appreciated in summer is astronaut.

835
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean, all these limitations the government says you can

836
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: invest your money here but not over here.

837
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: Why is that?

838
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 7: The main reason is trial lawyers and people that want

839
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 7: to sue fiduciaries for violating the responsibility of putting their

840
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 7: clients first. Of course, they need to put their clients first.

841
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 7: But what the DL rule does is it establishes a

842
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 7: safe harbor, meaning that it gives some liability protection to

843
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 7: four oh win k managers to go into these alternative assets,

844
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 7: and of course you know these four oh one ks.

845
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 2: You have the option to do it.

846
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 7: If you don't want to do it, you don't have

847
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 7: to put your money there. But it also means that

848
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 7: they have this liability protection, which is very important when

849
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 7: you're talking about a multi trillion dollar industry.

850
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 2: I agree.

851
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: You know who always makes money, Tommy, no matter what

852
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: the transaction is, the lawyers. If we only invest in

853
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: their companies, that would be better, Tommy. I gotta leave

854
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: it there for today. Tommy Ilo from the National Taxpayers nied. Luckily,

855
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: this is something that people could look at their options.

856
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 1: May we have some other opportunities and see what happens,

857
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: and hopefully it's good for investments in America.

858
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 2: Thank you for being here. That's right, Thank you. Happy Eastern,

859
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 2: Happy Easter to you. Good Friday is tomorrow. You know

860
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 2: what that means.

861
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: It means Lent is over today. People have been arguing

862
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: about this, but I looked it up. Lent ends today.

863
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: That's good news for me, at least I think so.

864
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm not even Catholic, but we give stuff up for

865
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: lent every year. It's a healthy thing.

866
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 2: To do all right.
