And I body gave very 14 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: good answers on this, but let's go to this interview. 15 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: Part two will air tonight nine Eastern on Fox, also 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: RFK Junior and Doctor Oz Tonight, Mis Vice President, great 17 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: to see. 18 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: Holl you welcome, good, appreciate how you doing it. 19 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 3: And thanks for sitting out. Well, I guess we start 20 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 3: with a little good news. Yeah, government is open, that's right, Okay, 21 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 3: longest shutdown in history. Can you tell me what the 22 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 3: point of all that was I. 23 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 4: Wish that I knew, Sean, because here's what the Democrats 24 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 4: actually accomplished. They caused a lot of stress for our troops. 25 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 4: They made our traffic controllers. 26 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: Not get paid. 27 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 4: They caused a lot of flight cancelations. They had a 28 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 4: lot of people thinking they weren't going to get their 29 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 4: food benefits, all for literally nothing, Sean, because we could 30 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 4: have struck this exact deal forty five days ago. In fact, 31 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 4: we met with Hakeem Jeffreys and Chuck Schumer and said 32 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 4: we will pass this exact deal. 33 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 2: They said no. 34 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 4: They put the American people through a ton of pain 35 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 4: and suffering for nothing. And we knew this was going 36 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 4: to happen, Sean. We knew the President of the United 37 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 4: States said every single day. Eventually the Democrats are going 38 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 4: to realize this is an absurd position. We've got to 39 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 4: reopen the government. 40 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: And that's what they did. 41 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: As bad as it was getting, I'm trying to comprehend 42 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: the thinking behind this. Except for eight Democrats in the 43 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 3: Senate and six in the House, they wanted it to continue, 44 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 3: and there's real palpable anger that it didn't con I 45 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: think Chuck Schumer's cooked as a result, even though he 46 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: did everything that is base on it. 47 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, so let me say a couple of things. 48 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 4: First of all, I do give a lot of credit 49 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 4: for the moderate Democrats in the Senate. 50 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: Who were with us from the very beginning, because if. 51 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 4: You remember the original bill to keep the government open, 52 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 4: before the shutdown even started, there were fifty two GOP 53 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 4: senators three Democratic senators. They recognized where this was going, 54 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 4: they recognized what was in the best inte of the country. 55 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 4: But I think, Sean, there are so many far left 56 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 4: people who run the Democratic Party Washington, d C. They 57 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 4: just want to burn it down. They don't care if 58 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 4: the troops don't get paid. They don't care if you 59 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 4: cost billions of dollars of loss productivity. They don't care 60 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 4: if you shut down the airline industry, which they were 61 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 4: very close close to doing. They just want to get Trump, 62 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 4: and they don't care if they have to burn the 63 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 4: entire country down in order to get Trump. 64 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: That's what they want to do. 65 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 4: And I think that it shows how stupid that approaches politically, 66 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 4: because normally you would expect the president of the United 67 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 4: States to get blamed for a shutdown. The American people 68 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 4: were smart enough to recognize that the Democrat were the 69 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: ones who were sort of holding this hostage. 70 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: They were saying that unless you. 71 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: Give us everything that we want, unless you give us 72 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 4: one point five trillion dollars of benefits healthcare for illegal aliens, 73 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: we're going to destroy the country. 74 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: We're going to keep the government shut down. 75 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 4: And definitely, I think the President recognized eventually the American 76 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 4: people are going to recognize this is the Democrats doing this. 77 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: The Democrats, I think, made. 78 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 4: A huge political mistake by continuing to push for all 79 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 4: of these crazy things, and they said, if you don't 80 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 4: give all these crazy things, we're going to keep the 81 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 4: government shut down. It was politically stupid, but you're right. 82 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 4: I don't understand the psychology of a Democrat who says 83 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 4: we'd like to burn the country down in order to 84 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 4: get Donald Trump. But unfortunately, it just drives home that's 85 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 4: what their party is about. 86 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 2: That was the thing. 87 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: One point five trillion, hundreds of billions of dollars for 88 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: health care for illegals, DEI programs are broad MPR PBS 89 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: to fund them once. 90 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: Again, and that's the hell you want to die on. 91 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: During the process that any point did any Democrat any leader. 92 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 3: Did you have conversations with them, say work. 93 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: This out with me. 94 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: Did that happen behind the scenes that nobody knows about. 95 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 4: Oh, of course, privately, we were having conversations all the time. 96 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 4: And frankly, privately the Democrats would recognize the position of 97 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 4: their far left was crazy. But they all feel a 98 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 4: little bit like they're being held hostage by their far left. 99 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 4: You said it very well, Chuck Schumer. This probably ended 100 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 4: his career, and he was the person who was fighting 101 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 4: more than anybody to keep the government shut down. So 102 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: the far left, they're never going to be satisfied unless 103 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 4: the Democrats are willing to burn down the entire country. Luckily, 104 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 4: there were a few moderate Democrats who allowed reason to prevail. 105 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 4: We have to step back and sewan and remember how 106 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 4: crazy the demands were. They wanted one point five trillion dollars, 107 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 4: a lot of that healthcare benefits for illegal aliens. They 108 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 4: wanted us to undo all of the great border policy. 109 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: That we've been doing. 110 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: They wanted us to refund like you said, MPR and PBS, 111 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,679 Speaker 4: they were basically saying that we want the far left's 112 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 4: priorities to dominate in the Trump administration. And unless that happens, 113 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 4: we're going to set the entire country on fire. A 114 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 4: really disgraceful moment for the far left of the Democrats, 115 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 4: and frankly, a very revealing moment for the American people 116 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 4: because they asked in Shawn. They weren't saying that we 117 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 4: want to do great things for the American people. They 118 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: weren't talking about jobs, they weren't talking about healthcare. They 119 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 4: were talking about give us one point five trillion dollars 120 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 4: for healthcare benefits for illegal aliens, and less you do that, 121 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 4: we're going to make it impossible for you to fly 122 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 4: home to see your family on Thanksgiving. It's just craziness 123 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 4: that that was ever their position, but it was. 124 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: When we get it back up and running fast, you. 125 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 4: Know, it's going to take a little bit of time 126 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 4: to get everything fully up and running. They actually brought 127 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 4: the bill over to my house last night around nine 128 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: o'clock to sign. 129 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 2: It, because as the President of the Senate I had 130 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 2: to sign it for the Senate. 131 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 4: Mike Johnson signed it for the House, and then of 132 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 4: course the President of United States had to sign it 133 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 4: into law. 134 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: Were eating bills from conversus basically, I mean the earleamentarian, 135 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: the Senate parliamentarian was driving around in an ure, going 136 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: from place to place to get this thing signed. 137 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 4: But I actually I had this conversation with the President 138 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 4: yesterday afternoon. I said, assuming the House is able to 139 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 4: get this done, do you want to sign this tomorrow morning? 140 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 4: He said, no, I want to sign it tonight because 141 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 4: the only way to get the people's government turned back 142 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 4: on as quickly as possible was to sign the bill 143 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 4: as quickly as possible. But you know it goes to 144 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: show the entire time the President, the entire administration, we 145 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 4: were focused on getting the government turned back on, getting 146 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 4: critical services actually funded so the government could function for 147 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 4: the American people. That Democrats were focused on. We want 148 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 4: to take you hostage. We want to make it hard 149 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 4: for you to get home to see your family on 150 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 4: Thanksgiving so that we can give your health care benefits 151 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 4: to illegal aliens. What an incredible juxtaposition of priorities. We 152 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 4: care about Americans, they care about illegal aliens. 153 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: That's been true for years. 154 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 4: They made it super clear with this government shutdown fight. 155 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 3: Let's talk about Obviously, the economy is always front and 156 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: center for most American would argue that foundationally everything set 157 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 3: trillions and dollars of committed moneyes for manufacturing largest tax. 158 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: Cuts in history. It took a long quite a. 159 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: While, over a year and a half for the Reagan 160 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: tax cuts to kick in. Ended up with twenty one 161 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 3: million new jobs, longest period peacetime economic growth. 162 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: President Trump now has. 163 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: Given us the largest tax cut in history, no tax tips, 164 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: social Security over time, then you add the energy component. 165 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: So for people now that maybe are still suffering from 166 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: the Biden Harris economic hangover, when do we really see 167 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 3: the engine of the economy start to take off. 168 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 4: Well, some of it's already started on, but some of 169 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 4: it is going to take a long time because we 170 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 4: inherited a disaster. We inherited the highest peacetime debt and 171 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 4: deficits in the history of the United States of America. 172 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: We inherited the worst inflation crisis in at least the 173 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 4: last forty years and I. 174 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: Think probably longer. So a lot of Americans when we 175 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 2: took over, they were struggling. 176 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 4: They either were underemployed or they didn't have a job altogether. 177 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 4: Their wages had been stagnant. And the President of the 178 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 4: United States said, the most important thing that we have 179 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 4: to fix is for people to be able to live 180 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 4: a good life. 181 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: We need a good job to pay good wages. 182 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 4: We need people to be able to go to the 183 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 4: grocery store and actually buy what they need for their family. 184 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 4: That takes a little bit of time. And I know 185 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 4: that there are a lot of people out there, Sean 186 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 4: who are saying things are expensive, and we have to 187 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 4: remember they're expensive because we inherited this terrible inflation crisis 188 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 4: from the Biden administration. But you've already seen signs that 189 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 4: things are getting better. The price of eggs has gone 190 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 4: way down. The price of energy has gone way down, 191 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 4: the price of gasoline has gone way down. And as 192 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 4: we know, when the price of energy goes down, that 193 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 4: starts to filter out into the entire economy. But that 194 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 4: also takes a little bit of time. There's another component 195 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 4: of this, Sean, which to me is maybe the most important, 196 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 4: because I care so much about our young people being 197 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 4: able to afford a good life. A lot of young 198 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 4: people are saying housing is way too expensive. 199 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: Why is that? 200 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,479 Speaker 4: Because we flooded the country with thirty million illegal immigrants 201 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 4: who were taking houses that ought by right go to 202 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 4: American citizens, And at the same time, we weren't building 203 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 4: enough new houses to begin with, even for the population 204 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 4: that we had. So what we're doing is trying to 205 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 4: make it easier to build houses, trying to make it 206 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 4: easier to build factories and things like that so. 207 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: That people have good jobs. 208 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 4: We're also getting all of those illegal aliens out of 209 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 4: our country, and you're already seeing it start to pay 210 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 4: some dividends. Let me give you a very clear statistical example. 211 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 4: Under the Biden administration, the price of a new home 212 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 4: literally doubled. 213 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 2: In four years. It went up one hundred percent. 214 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 4: Under the Trump administration, housing and rent prices are up 215 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 4: about one to two percent. That's actually in line with 216 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 4: what you would like to see. So again, we inherited 217 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 4: a disaster. We're very mindful of the fact that there's 218 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 4: a lot of work to do, but I think that 219 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 4: we've made great progress. 220 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 2: And the final point I'll make about that, Sean, is. 221 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 4: The most important way to fix this affordability crisis is 222 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: to make people's wages go up. 223 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 2: And that is where the Trump economy. 224 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 4: I think, just objectively, obviously I'm very biased, but I 225 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 4: think objectively. 226 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: Is doing better than any economy in fifty or sixty years. 227 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 4: Blue collar wages are going up. Working people's wages, middle 228 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 4: class wages. 229 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: Are going up. 230 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 4: And that's how we ultimately chip away at the Biden 231 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 4: affordability crisis, is that we make an economy where people 232 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 4: can afford to buy the things that they need. The 233 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 4: best way to do that is good jobs and good wages, 234 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 4: and that's why the president's focus is where it is. 235 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 3: I want to see that manufacturing get online because those 236 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: are high paying career jobs. 237 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: They are you know, we are going to bring in house. 238 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 3: We always imported, and we're relying on other countries for pharmaceuticals, semiconducted, chips, 239 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 3: automobile manufacturing. The President negotiated out those deals. I want 240 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: to see those jobs get online, hopefully sooner rather than later. 241 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,119 Speaker 2: It's right, Apple is going to spend. 242 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 3: What five hundred billion dollars in Texas. 243 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 4: They're going to spend at least five hundred million dollars 244 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 4: in the United States, and that's just Apple. We've seen 245 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 4: about eighteen trillion dollars of new capital commitment Sewan. 246 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: That's to your point, those are good. 247 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 4: That's whenever you're creating jobs, and nothing like that has 248 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 4: ever happened in this country. If you go back to 249 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 4: the Biden administration, a good year for the Biden administration 250 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 4: was a few hundred billion dollars of investments. The president 251 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 4: is getting trillions upon trillions of new investments. Now, of course, 252 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 4: I'm mindful that people were suffering Sean because those factories 253 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 4: don't get built overnight. These things actually take a little 254 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 4: bit of time. 255 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 2: But here's what's different from the Trump administration than Biden administration. 256 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: The President is focused now. 257 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 4: On getting people good jobs, getting people higher wages, and 258 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 4: bringing down the cost of goods. We inherited a disaster. 259 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 4: We've chipped away at a lot of that problem in 260 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 4: ten months. But that's why you've got four year terms, 261 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 4: because we're going to do a lot over the next 262 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 4: three years three months to make sure that more people 263 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 4: can afford a good life. They can afford to buy homes, 264 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 4: young people can afford to start families, and we've actually 265 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 4: got good jobs that put people on a career trajectory 266 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 4: into stability. The biggest problem with the Biden economy wasn't 267 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 4: even the affordability. 268 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: That was the second biggest problem. 269 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 4: The biggest problem with Biden economy is that people had 270 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 4: the kind of. 271 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 2: Jobs where they couldn't build a career out of it. 272 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 4: They'd make fourteen fifteen dollars an hour with no promise 273 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 4: of ever being able to make more. That is not 274 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 4: how you build a middle class American dream. That's how 275 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 4: you build debt servants. And that's what the American people 276 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 4: were becoming under Joe Biden. It's so important that we 277 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 4: stay the course, keep these economic policies going so that 278 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 4: Americans can own a stake in their own future, build. 279 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 2: The kind of life that every American deserves. 280 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 3: Back to the home building part, it's interesting you wrote 281 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 3: it a by you was obsessed. 282 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 2: With AI as I am. I am okay, I don't know. 283 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 3: I'm a grock guy. I'm a grock guy, grock GUYE okay, elon. 284 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 2: I think it's the best. I think it's the best. 285 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: It's also the least woke. 286 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 4: I'm always asking myself if I ask an AI a question, 287 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 4: is going to give me an ejectivevice throves it and 288 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 4: puts it an extreme mode? 289 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 2: Answer? 290 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 3: Have you put it in an extreme mode just for 291 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 3: kicks and giggles? 292 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: It's a little oh if I have not? So on, 293 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: I don't want the media to. 294 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: Do you want to know, the neighborhood that Donald Trump 295 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 3: grew up in, and the kind of language you probably 296 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 3: heard every day. 297 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 2: You put it in extreme mode, it's pretty funny. I 298 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 2: could to all tuck like my grandmother and then yeah, 299 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 2: we'd be in shape. 300 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 3: Okay, So the housing shortage, the estimate is what between 301 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 3: four and a half and six million homes were shy 302 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 3: right now? 303 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 2: For those numbers, yep, Okay. 304 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 3: I met a guy that's building a company that seventy 305 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: percent of a home can be built with robots at 306 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 3: about two hundred dollars a square foot. Now, where I 307 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 3: live in Florida, you're not getting any home anywhere near 308 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 3: two hundred dollars a square foot. 309 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 2: So will that be a factor? And then you have 310 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: to think of, Okay, we're going to lose blue collar jobs. 311 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 3: How do we transition people into the economy if they're 312 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 3: going to lose those jobs. 313 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, So a few things about that, Sean. 314 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 4: First, we probably need to build about five million new homes, 315 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 4: and if you look at the Red States, we're actually 316 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 4: doing a very good job. One of the biggest challenges 317 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 4: that we have in the housing market, aside from too 318 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 4: many illegal aliens who are taking the houses, of American 319 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 4: citizens is that in the Blue states, you're not. 320 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: Building enough houses. 321 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 4: So you go to California, why are so many people 322 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: moving out of California? 323 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: It's you know, yes, I have a guess, there's no 324 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 2: no wa. 325 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 3: Your friend gavenusm yeah, my friend gavenusum any. I mean 326 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 3: maybe if they put water in fire hydrants and reservoirs. 327 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 4: That might help, right, but they're not building houses. You 328 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 4: look at those terrible fires that happened to Los Angeles. 329 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 4: You have people who are still trying to get the 330 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 4: permitting to rebuild their houses. 331 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: This happens so long ago. 332 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 4: So we've got to get our blue states to build 333 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 4: enough houses for their citizens because our red states in 334 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: the federal government is actually doing. 335 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: A really good job. By the way. 336 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 4: You know, the one of the biggest cities where you're 337 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 4: seeing housing costs come down Austin, Texas, because they're choosing 338 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 4: smart policies and they're building enough housing. Now on the 339 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 4: AI issue, look, I understand why people are worried that. 340 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 4: You know, if you have a robot doing that job, 341 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 4: does a takeaway from a blue collar worker who. 342 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: Can do that job. 343 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 4: Right now, the evidence that I see is that if 344 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: we really lean into robotics and technology. It's going to 345 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 4: raise everybody's wages and make everybody better off. 346 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: All Right, we'll take a break, we'll come back. We'll 347 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: continue more of my interview with the Vice President well 348 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: part two tonight on Hannity nine Eastern on Fox, also 349 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: RFK Junior and Doctor Oz together broadcasting coast to coast, 350 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: order to mortar, and all over America. 351 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: This is the show Hannity Show. 352 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to my interview with the 353 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: Vice President JD. Vans from last night. Part two of 354 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: that interview will air tonight. Also, I had time to 355 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: sit down with Robert F. Kennedy Junior and also with 356 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: doctor Oz. Will air that tonight as well. And the 357 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: other news of the day. We have time for it 358 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: all nineties to incite a DVR on Fox. It's gone 359 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: pretty viral to this interview. But let me play part two. 360 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 2: Of it for you. 361 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 3: It's actually amazing because you'll see them. They'll do the framing, 362 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 3: they'll put on the siding. They'll actually a robot will 363 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 3: put on the roof. 364 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy. It is crazy. They'll wire the. 365 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 3: House, they put an insulation, they'll put up the wallboard, 366 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 3: they'll paint the wallboard, and then the finished work in 367 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: comes the craftsman. I'm not so sure that the AI 368 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 3: is going to be able to do that, at least 369 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 3: in the short term, but it wouldn't surprise me. 370 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 4: I think a lot of the craftsmanship, a lot of 371 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 4: the direction, a lot of the management, you're going to 372 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 4: need a human being to do that. Nobody can replace. 373 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 4: No robot can replace a great blue collar construction worker. 374 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 4: You know, you see some of the houses, some of 375 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 4: the things they do, the trim that they're able to do. 376 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 4: There's an art there that I don't think a robot's 377 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 4: ever going to be able to replace. But robot maybe 378 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 4: make it easier for a construction worker to put more 379 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 4: nails and more walls over a shorter period. 380 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 2: Of time some of the road things. In other words, 381 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: you're going to see. 382 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 4: I think robotics help the construction workers, and I think 383 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 4: that's going to lead to higher wages. 384 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 2: And it's also going to lead to more homes. 385 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 3: Firms are will love it and think a build the 386 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 3: one big beautiful ballroom faster. 387 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 2: The robot could do it faster. 388 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 3: I think he'd hire the robot because I know that's 389 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:23,959 Speaker 3: obviously important. 390 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 4: Well, but this is an interesting point, though, Sean, because 391 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 4: if you go back to it to you know, there 392 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 4: really are, I think, two different models of how you 393 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 4: make people more productive, of how you create economic growth, 394 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 4: of how you make people better off. The Democrat model 395 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 4: was import low wage immigrants, and I really do think 396 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 4: that hurt the jobs of our construction workers, that hurt 397 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 4: the wages of a lot of our blue collar workers. 398 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 4: But their idea was the way that we get more 399 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 4: prosperity is that you import more and more low wage servants, 400 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 4: and that actually, I think reduced prosperity because it meant 401 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 4: that a lot of our blue collar workers were struggling. 402 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 4: But if you use technology, you empower the blue collar 403 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 4: workers rather than replace them with foreign labor. I think 404 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 4: they're going to do way better. They're going to make 405 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 4: higher wages, and the whole country is going to be 406 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 4: better off. In other words, do you depend on low 407 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 4: wage immigrants or do you depend on American citizens bolstered. 408 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: By technology and innovation. 409 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 4: That's the Trump model, and I think that's the model 410 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 4: that's going to deliver long term prosperity for this country. 411 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 3: You first become the vice president and I had my 412 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 3: well first I interviewed you at the convention. 413 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: Very first interview I did as a VPN first. 414 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 3: Interview, thank you, And we had an interview right after 415 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 3: you got sworn in. 416 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 2: You're almost on the job a full year. Tell me 417 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 2: about the job, and by definition you have to be 418 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 2: ready at a God. 419 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 3: Forbid moment's notice. Sure, I think that's a heavy weight 420 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 3: to put. 421 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: On anybody's shoulders. 422 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 3: Obviously, if you obsess about it, I. 423 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 2: Don't think that'd be healthy. 424 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 3: You seem to go with the flow pretty well. Do 425 00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 3: you have quiet moments you think about that? 426 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 4: Honestly, Sean, I try not to. I mean, one, I 427 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 4: serve under Donald Trump, who is very healthy. He has 428 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 4: a big shadow. But if I served under Joe Biden, 429 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 4: I'd probably be worried every minute of every day that 430 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 4: he was going to croak and then I'd. 431 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: Have to become president. 432 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 4: But because I serve a president, okay, and it just 433 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 4: happened like I'd never been able to sleep, I'd always 434 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 4: have my cell phone as loud as possible. But no, 435 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 4: the president one, you know, he's got a lot of energy, 436 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 4: is extremely healthy, So I don't think about that. 437 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: Obviously. 438 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 4: That's part of the job is you've got to be 439 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 4: ready if tragedy strikes. But the thing that I try 440 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 4: to do, Sean is I just try to be as 441 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 4: much of a force multiplier for. 442 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 2: The President and the whole administration. 443 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 4: You know, if the President needs to talk to ten 444 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 4: people in Congress, he can only make five of those 445 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 4: phone calls, I can make the other five. If the 446 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 4: President needs to meet with a business leader but he 447 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 4: can't meet with him because he's meeting with somebody else, 448 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 4: then I. 449 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: Can meet with that person. If the President needs. 450 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 4: Somebody to go visit a factory, he can't do it 451 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 4: for one reason or another, then I go and do that. 452 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 4: And what I try to think is so long as 453 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 4: the President trust me, and so long as I'm loyal 454 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 4: to the president in return, then he can just have 455 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 4: me go and do something and not worry about whether 456 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 4: it's going to get done, not worry about whether somebody 457 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 4: is going to. 458 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 2: Blab to the media about it. 459 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 4: That's the way that I try to approach this job 460 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 4: is the best use of my time is to be 461 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 4: a force multiplier for him in the administration. That's what 462 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 4: I've tried to do. I think that it's worked out 463 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 4: really well so far. But part of that is also 464 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 4: the president you serve under. When you talk to people 465 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 4: about the job of vice president, it can either be 466 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 4: a really high impact job, a real partnership with the presidency, 467 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 4: or it can be a job where you sit around 468 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 4: and hope the phone doesn't ring. And because the President 469 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 4: trusts me, and because of the way that he does 470 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 4: his job, he's made it possible for me to be 471 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 4: very involved in the business of running the country, that's 472 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 4: an awesome thing. It's an exciting thing. I pinch myself 473 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 4: every day. I mean, look where we are, this beautiful room, 474 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 4: and I try to remember that it's a great honor 475 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 4: and a great blessing to serve and I just try 476 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 4: to do the job that I can every day. 477 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 3: The last place my parents ever thought I'd be just visiting. 478 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 3: What if you learned from President Trump, I mean, he 479 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 3: is a force of nature. 480 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 2: He is I'm not inserting yours. Whatever you learn from him, 481 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 2: You know a few things. 482 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 4: Number One, the President is amazing at compartmentalizing things. 483 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 2: When something is going on, there's always a crisis. 484 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 4: The very best day in the West Wing, there's at 485 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 4: least one crisis somewhere in the world that somebody's putting 486 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 4: your desk. The President has an incredible ability to sort 487 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 4: of say, Okay, focus on that for fifteen minutes and 488 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 4: then go and focus on something totally different for fifteen minutes. 489 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 2: That's not naturally how I am. 490 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: If something bad is going on, I tend to want 491 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 4: to think about that thing and solve that problem before 492 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 4: I go on to something else. The President is incredible 493 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 4: at that compartmentalization. I think it's one of the reasons 494 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 4: why he can handle ten different problems at once is 495 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 4: because he's able to troubleshoot and then move on to 496 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 4: the next thing, troubleshoot and move on to the next thing. 497 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 4: The second thing that I've learned from the President sean, 498 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 4: and I've tried to absorb it as much as I can, 499 00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 4: and I think some of this is just who he 500 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 4: is in his natural instincts, is he has better instincts 501 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 4: about human beings than anybody that I've ever met. 502 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 2: And again, the President of the United States. 503 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 4: You think about this, You can't read every briefing in 504 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 4: every detail about every single topic. 505 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 2: One hundred different things are coming into. 506 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 4: The Oval Office every hour, right, So part of it 507 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 4: is you've got to be able to trust the people 508 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 4: around you to delegate and to execute. 509 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 2: But to have that trust for people, you've got to 510 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 2: have very very good instincts. 511 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 4: And the President has an amazing ability to know when 512 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 4: somebody's trying to get something over on them, when somebody's 513 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 4: actually thinking about things in the best interests of the country. 514 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 4: It's almost a supernatural ability to read human beings. And 515 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 4: I've tried to learn as much as I can about it. 516 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 4: And again, some of that is just his inateability. Some 517 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 4: of that is something that I think that you can 518 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 4: pick up, and I've tried to pick that up as 519 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,719 Speaker 4: much as I can, because it's amazing. 520 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 2: Sean. Let me give you example. 521 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 4: There was a time where there was a meeting that 522 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 4: I couldn't go to again because I had I think 523 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 4: I had to be on Capitol Hill related to a big, 524 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 4: beautiful bill, and I was really worried that I wouldn't 525 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 4: be in the meeting because I knew what the people 526 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 4: in the meeting were going to say, and I was 527 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 4: worried that I couldn't push back against it. And I 528 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 4: remember talking to the President about it later, and he 529 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 4: knew exactly what they were going to say he knew 530 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 4: exactly what their angle was, he knew exactly what their 531 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 4: motivation was, and he just he reads people and tries 532 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 4: to use you know, it's almost he's able to use 533 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 4: people's own motivations to figure out whether they're trying to 534 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 4: get something that's good for America or whether they're trying 535 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 4: to get something that's good for them. And obviously, if 536 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 4: it's good for America, he's all on board. If it's 537 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 4: just good for them, he's going to be a little 538 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 4: bit more skeptical. But that capacity to figure that out, 539 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 4: I think it's why he's such an effective leader and 540 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 4: why he's such a good president. 541 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 3: To be able to compartmentalize as a skill, to have 542 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 3: a discernment also, I think as a gift, sure, And 543 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 3: I kind of feel like a lot of my life 544 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 3: I had the ability to read people very well. 545 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: Yes, and it served me my life. 546 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 4: See, I think that I have that ability to but 547 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 4: I think the President takes it up to a totally 548 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 4: different level. His discernment is really remarking. 549 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 3: The energy level is beyond I mean, I went on 550 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 3: the golf trip with him, seventeen hours there, seventeen hours back, 551 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: and he's awake. 552 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 2: The whole time. It's unexpects you to be awake. 553 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 4: Well, it's unbelievable. It's actually I joke with some of 554 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 4: the cabinet because the President I can't travel together. That's 555 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 4: one of the things. Never on the same airplane. And 556 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 4: they're always like you say like that. I always say, 557 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 4: you're so lucky because if we go on a twenty 558 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 4: hour trip somewhere, he doesn't sleep the entire time. And 559 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 4: of course if he's not sleeping, if he's working, he 560 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 4: expects everybody else to be working to So again, the 561 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 4: energy that the guy has really is off the charts. 562 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 2: But again, you've. 563 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 4: Got to have that level of energy to do this 564 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 4: job successfully. For all of Biden's problems and all the 565 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 4: policy disagreements that I have with the Biden administration, I 566 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 4: really do wonder was Biden able to stay on top? 567 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 4: Did he have the physical and mental ability to stay 568 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 4: on top of everything that comes through is I can answer? 569 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 4: The answer is no, of course not. And that's the 570 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 4: one thing that agreer disagree with President Trump about it. 571 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 4: Given issue, every Democrat and every Republican I think, deep 572 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 4: down would recognize this is a guy who has the 573 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 4: energy to do the job. That's a very very rare thing. 574 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 4: But that's who you should be electing president United States. 575 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 4: Somebody's got the energy for it. 576 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 3: I'm not asking you to answer this question, but I 577 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 3: am giving you a preview of coming attractions. Hopefully I'll 578 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 3: be back a year from now. And there is no 579 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 3: avoiding the question, okay, because we will have just gotten 580 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 3: through the midterms. Sure, two days after the midterms we 581 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 3: get into cycle, meaning twenty twenty eight. 582 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 2: Of course, war have you thought at all? I mean, 583 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: I would think it has to go through your head. 584 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 2: You're in the Oval office every day. 585 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 3: I'm sure you know the times that I've been there 586 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 3: to visit and they throw me out. 587 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 2: Is you know I pinched myself. 588 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 3: I never thought as a kid growing you know, my 589 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 3: mom was a prison guard, my dad a waiter, and 590 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 3: a family corporation guy. I'd ever been in that building. Right, 591 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 3: an amazing country is an amazing country. So many made 592 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 3: a mistake. But in all seriousness, this is coming fast. 593 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 4: Sure, Sure, thinking about it all, I would say that 594 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 4: I thought about what that moment might look like after 595 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 4: the midterm elections. 596 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 2: Sure, But I also. 597 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 4: Whenever I think about that, I try to put it 598 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 4: out of my head and remind myself. The American people 599 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 4: elected me to do a job right now, and my 600 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 4: job is to do it. And if you start getting 601 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 4: distracted and focused on what comes next, I think it 602 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 4: actually makes you worse of the job that you have. 603 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 2: And here's what will happen. I mean, look, we're very 604 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 2: focused on the midterm elections. 605 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 4: I think because what the President has set in motion 606 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 4: is a long term economic revitalization effort for this country. 607 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 4: I really want us to win the midterms because of 608 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 4: the Democrats get in power, they're going to try to 609 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 4: screw up a lot of the great things the President 610 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 4: of the United States has done over the past ten months. Again, 611 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 4: trees that have been planted, some of which won't even 612 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 4: bear fruit for a few years. I don't want the 613 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 4: Democrats to screw that up. So we're gonna win the midterms. 614 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 2: We're gonna do everything that we can to win the midterms, 615 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 2: and then after that I'm gonna sit down with the 616 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 2: President of the United States and talk to him about it. 617 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 2: But let's focus on the now, because we've got well 618 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: over a year to do as much as we can 619 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 2: for the American people. And my attitude, Sean is, Look, 620 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 2: if we do a good job, the politics will take 621 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 2: care of itself. 622 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 4: If we do a terrible job, the politics will take 623 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 4: care of itself in the other direction. 624 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 2: So I'm just going to focus on the job that 625 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 2: I have. 626 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 3: I found a really interesting and actually intriguing comment that 627 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 3: you made saying that Marco Rubio is your best friend 628 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 3: in the administration. 629 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And by the way, some. 630 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 3: People I would think would naturally think, well, maybe they 631 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 3: might eventually one day be rivals. I didn't get that 632 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 3: impression at all in your comment. 633 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 2: You know, I don't feel like that at all. 634 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 4: And I mean, look, if Marko eventually runs for president, 635 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 4: then that's that's that. 636 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 2: We can cross that bridge when we come to it. 637 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 2: But one look, if you get to out Trump one 638 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 2: to design the next ticket, I know this. I know 639 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 2: I don't take control of that. 640 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, but people have asked me, well, 641 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 4: do you see Marco as a arrival? 642 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: First of all, if if either one of us end 643 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 2: up running, it's a long ways. 644 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 4: In the future and neither of us is entitled to it. 645 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 4: So I think it would be ridiculous for me to say, well, 646 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 4: Marco's arrival, No, no, No, Mark is a colleague.
