We're going 13 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: to focus on two extraordinary consequential things that are on 14 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: the immediate horizon and for America, all of our guests date, 15 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: We're going to really drill down. One is the extraordinary 16 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: danger that America faces when it comes to spending. If 17 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: we keep these spending levels up for another few years, 18 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: we will move ourselves to a bankruptcy. And say, we 19 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: got another reminder of that when the Social Security and 20 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: Medica Trust funds told us they're actually going to start 21 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: running out of money a year earlier and expect to 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: have to start cutting payments as early as twenty thirty three, which, 23 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: by the way, it is not that far around. We're 24 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: going to talk to Senator Ron Johnson who put out 25 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: an amazing report. They put out some really important data 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: points for all of us to consider. We'll kick our 27 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: show off in a second. The second thing I want 28 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: to talk about is the consequential decision that our president 29 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: will soon make about whether to add US military mind 30 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: to Israel's attacks on the nuclear power excuse me, the 31 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons program that Iran was building and that Israel 32 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: has been attacking the last several days. We've given you 33 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: a lot of data points over the last few days, 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: what other people are saying, what the intelligence really was. No, 35 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: Iran wasn't days away from having a nuclear weapon, but 36 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: it was getting very close to having the fuel necessary 37 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: for a nuclear weapon, a very important threshold. Yes, there 38 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: is a lot of concern about whether Magill stay with 39 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: the President on this issue, since we talk often in 40 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: this country about not having more forever wars. Today, I 41 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: want to give you one other data point, in one 42 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: exclusive document, probably something you've never seen before. Hop on 43 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: the screen here. They're going to put it up here. 44 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: It's a secret cable that Bill Clinton sent to Iran's 45 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: president in nineteen ninety nine. It's a remarkable document. I 46 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: got it a few years ago under the Freedom of 47 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: Information Act. It's really relevant today because it is a 48 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: reminder of two things. One, Democrats have repeatedly tried to 49 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: appease Iran to the detriment of America in two. 50 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: Over the last forty six years. 51 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: Since the US embassy was taken hostage in Tehran in 52 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine, nearly one thousand Americans. One thousand Americans 53 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: have died at the hands of Iran. What this memo 54 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: says is that Bill Clinton told Iron's president something he 55 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: wasn't willing to tell the American people. Bill couldn't never 56 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: told the American people that Iron was behind the Coe 57 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: Bar towers to attack that killed nineteen Americans. But he 58 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: told Iron's leader he knew it, and he said, hey, 59 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: if you just act like good guys, we'll let this 60 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: thing go. We want good relations with you. We'll slip 61 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: it under the run. All you have to do is 62 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: just arrest the guys that did Coe Bar towers, and 63 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: we'll let it all go. No consequence for Iran's behavior, 64 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: Not when they killed two hundred and sixteen plus Americans 65 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: at a marine barracks in Beyrout nineteen eighty three, not 66 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: when they killed the nineteen to Cobar towers, not when 67 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: they killed the six hundred and three soldiers who the 68 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: Pentagon says died from Iranian made IEDs. It's just another 69 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: data point that President Trump I think has on his 70 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: radar as he tries to make the decision whether to 71 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: fully incompletely eradicate the Iranian nuclear program with bunker buster 72 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: bombs that only our B twos can deliver a lot 73 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: of other things on the table, we want to get 74 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: that information too. We're going to have more on that metal. 75 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: We're going to make it available for everybody to read 76 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: in the morning. And a hold the tail. I'm going 77 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: to give you that role call of the thousand US. 78 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: You know who they were, when they died, and how 79 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: they died. But now it's an amazing time to turn 80 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: to my amazing coast, Amanda head and get some more news. 81 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: Amited, Absolutely all right, So we have some Supreme Court 82 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 3: news to get to. Earlier today, they had a big 83 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 3: decision that come down dealing with the United with the 84 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 3: State of Tennessee their ban on youth transgender surgery. It 85 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 3: also banned the use of puberty blockers and hormone therapy, 86 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 3: and the Court sided with the State of Tennessee, upholding 87 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: that ban. 88 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 4: Now. 89 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 3: The vote was six to three, of course, divided among 90 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 3: ideological lines, with Chief Justice John Roberts. 91 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 5: Writing the opinion. The Chief Justice. 92 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 3: Said that the law was not in violation of the 93 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: Constitution's fourteen fourteenth Amendment and it does not constitute a 94 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 3: form of sex discrimination. Now, this is an important decision 95 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 3: because twenty four other states have laws that are very 96 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: similar to Tennessee's which was just upheld. So it will 97 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: most likely have a very very large impact. And turning 98 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 3: to some economic news, the Federal Reserve under Chairman Jerome Powell, 99 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 3: decided not to lower interest rates, keeping in the four 100 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 3: point twenty five to four point five percent range. The 101 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 3: Central Bank said it was worried about President Trump's tariffs 102 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 3: and their impact, and even though inflation has been on 103 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 3: a downward trajectory since President Trump took office, the Fed 104 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: said that they were worried about an uptick. Now President 105 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 3: Trump was asked about all of this earlier today, just 106 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 3: before the Fed's announcement, and he answered it the only 107 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: way that he can here. 108 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 6: It is we're doing well well and as a country, 109 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 6: if the FED would have a lower rates, you know, 110 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 6: would buy dead for a lot less. 111 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: It's a share of this guy. I have a guy. 112 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 6: Do you have to have a guy that's not a 113 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 6: smart person and you're dealing with him and he's not. 114 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: A smart guy. 115 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 7: He's worried about inflation. They said, that's right. 116 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 6: If there's inflation in six months or nine much you 117 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 6: lower the rates. So you raise the rates, you can 118 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 6: do whatever you want. Brian, Right, we have a stupid person, 119 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 6: frankly at the FEDI. 120 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 3: So something that President Trump has talked about even before 121 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 3: he became president, even before he ran. 122 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 5: This is something he has. 123 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 3: Always harped on about back when it was Twitter. And 124 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 3: here he is a noval office again and he's still 125 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 3: dealing with this issues. 126 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: Well. 127 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: The reason we have some of that crushing debt expense 128 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: is because we've had so much crushing spending for the 129 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: almost eighty percent of all the debt we accumulate in 130 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: the history of this country. Twohudred and fifty years has 131 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: occurred in the last twenty years of this Congress. Somebody 132 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,239 Speaker 1: who takes that seriously and has shotted it out often, 133 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: though it's not popular among his fellow Senators and House 134 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: members in the Congress, is Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, 135 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: and today he put out an extraordinary report just looking 136 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: at the mess we're in. Smart simple data points help 137 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: us understand how we might be able to get of it. 138 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: We're lucky to be joined by him at the top 139 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: of the show. Today's Senator. Great to have you back 140 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: on the show. Well, John hum Lamanda, thanks for having on. 141 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: All right, there's two things I find remark about this report. 142 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: One is just the CEO mentality and our way you 143 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: look at the data of the way a CEO whether 144 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: they were trying to fix a company. The second part 145 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: is you wrote this all by yourself. No staff, right, 146 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: this is your work. 147 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 8: Well, staff definitely helped me format the report. I'm not 148 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 8: very good with the word processors, but no, this is 149 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 8: something I've been working on really since I wrote my 150 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 8: op ed for the Wall Street Journal in January first, 151 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 8: where I laid out the concept of returning to a 152 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 8: pre pandemic level spending, And I laid out three different 153 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 8: options by going back to Bill Clinton in nineteen ninety eight, 154 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 8: Obama in twenty fourteen, Trump in twenty nineteen. Exempts those 155 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 8: scating medicare and interests, spend what you need to spend, 156 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 8: but all those other outlays just increase them by population 157 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 8: growth and inflation. And what kind of spending level we have, Well, 158 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 8: the answer is somewhere between five point five and six 159 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 8: point five trillion dollars versus the more than seven trillion 160 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 8: dollars will spend this year seven point three trillion next year. 161 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 8: So we are in a very dangerous zone in terms 162 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 8: of locking in deficits of over two trillion dollars over 163 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 8: the next ten years. I know I'm throwing a lot 164 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 8: of numbers. Let me just give you a couple some 165 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 8: base pieces of information. In the seven years prior to COVID, 166 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 8: the average depthsit was six hundred and sixty billion dollars steal, 167 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 8: way too high, But I wish we were there at 168 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 8: this point then we had COVID. But then the four 169 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 8: years after that, any rational human being would have said, okay, well, 170 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 8: we can't stay at this six point five trillion dollar level. 171 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 8: We need to go back to pre pandemic deficit and 172 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 8: spinning levels. That's how what Biden the Democrats did. They 173 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 8: continue to spend at about six point five billion dollars 174 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 8: and now seven, but they encouraged an average deficit each 175 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 8: year about one point nine billion dollars. 176 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 7: So we went from six hundred and sixty. 177 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 8: Billion to one point nine and unfortunately, according to CBO, 178 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 8: over the next ten years that dest averaged two point 179 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 8: one According to CBO with their with their score of 180 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 8: the One Big Beautiful Bill, that would be two point 181 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 8: four trillion dollars per year, twenty four trillion dollars in total. 182 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 7: So again, these are massive numbers. 183 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 8: One of the reasons I decided to do this reporter 184 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 8: is I wanted to demonstrate this graphically because I've been 185 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 8: going on shows like this spouting numbers like this. I 186 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 8: realized it goes over most people's hands. But when you 187 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 8: see it, it's pretty shocking. You see where George Bush 188 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 8: was at two hundred and fifty billion a year, You 189 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 8: see that pre pandemic level, and then you see where 190 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 8: we are, where we bent the last four. 191 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 7: And where we're heading. 192 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 8: We've got to do something about this and listen. I 193 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 8: think the House has done some good work. I know 194 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 8: people understand this problem and from a standpoint of we've 195 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 8: got to do something about it, But I'm not sure 196 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 8: people really understand the depth of the problem. So my 197 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 8: role has been to you know, as a CEO, I've 198 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 8: solved a lot of problems. 199 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 7: The first step in solving. 200 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 8: A problem is admitting you have one and then properly 201 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 8: defining it. 202 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 7: So I'm trying to properly define it. 203 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 8: Layout Different scenarios show that economic growth is a huge 204 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 8: component of a solution, but we're not going to get 205 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 8: to valance a budget by just growing the economy. We 206 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 8: have got to recome reduce spending to a pre pandemic level. 207 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's obviously a money problem, but I 208 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 3: think for a lot of folks it's a very nebulous 209 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: money problem that is not really hitting home just yet. 210 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: Speaking of showing the graphically and putting it out there 211 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: very simply for the American people, I think when people 212 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 3: hear that we should go back to pre pandemic levels, 213 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: their first question is what does that mean? And second 214 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 3: of all, sort that can't just the difference between the 215 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 3: two can't just be mandatory spending with inflation, there's got 216 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 3: to be discretionary garbage in there that's easily cutable. 217 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 8: Well, if you just go back to twenty nineteen, exempt 218 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 8: Social Security, Medicare, and even medicaid and defense, exampt all 219 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 8: that spending, you got almost four hundred billion dollars of 220 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 8: spending that exceeds what we spent in twenty nineteen, completely 221 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 8: plussed up for Biden's inflation. 222 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 7: And population I think said three hundred and eighty four 223 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 7: billion dollars. Again, that's going to back twenty nineteen. 224 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 8: You go back all the way to Bill Clinton, include 225 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 8: medicaid in that, and we're spending one point three trillion 226 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 8: dollars more than what Bill Clinton spent fully. 227 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 7: Inflated for population inflation. 228 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 8: So again that's where you get the five point five 229 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 8: to six point five billion dollars. 230 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 7: So how do you get back that level. 231 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 8: It's not looking at two or three programs being a 232 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 8: couple of tweaks and getting a CBO score. You have 233 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 8: to literally go line by line like those shit contract 234 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 8: by contract, program by program. Do you realize we have 235 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 8: over twenty six hundred programs in the federal government. 236 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 7: And my belief is if we do the work. It's 237 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 7: going to take a lot of work. 238 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 8: But having gone from four point four trillion to over 239 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 8: seven trillion dollars twenty six hundred programs, I've got to 240 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 8: believe that you could eliminate hundreds of billions of dollars 241 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 8: hundreds of federal government programs and nobody would even notice, 242 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 8: except for the grifters who are sucking down all that waste, fraud, abuse, 243 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 8: and pork. 244 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: So I want to ask a little bit, why don't 245 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: Republicans have the same passion you do for this They 246 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: all talk it big every two years and elections, but 247 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: cutting one hundred and eighty billion when you've added two 248 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: trillion dollars a year average per year, when you've added 249 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: two trillion in the last five years annually to the 250 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: budget is a joke. Why don't they have more passion, 251 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: more courage, more willingness to get down, roll out your 252 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: sleeve and submit something that actually would get this deficit down. 253 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 8: Because this is why this place is operating. You know, 254 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 8: we've never had a method to or a process of 255 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 8: control spending. We don't have a budget, the balanced budget requirement. 256 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 8: I didn't realize this, but the appropriation committees were actually 257 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 8: established because the authorizing committees were big spenders. Well, that 258 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 8: didn't work since in goals didn't work. The Budget Act 259 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 8: didn't work. You know, Actually the Budget Control Act did 260 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 8: work for a couple of years. We reduced distress arrayed 261 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 8: spending by about one hundred and seventy five billion dollars 262 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 8: orth three years. 263 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 7: That was the impact of the Tea Party. You know. 264 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 7: Brock Obama came in again. 265 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 8: George Bush average two hundred and fifty billion dollars period deficits. 266 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 8: Barack Obama came in and averaged almost one point three 267 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 8: trillion in his first term. One point three trillion. That's 268 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 8: part of the Tea Party. We came in and we 269 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 8: literally put pressure on the process. We held federal government 270 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 8: spending flat for about five years. About three and a 271 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 8: half trillion dollars wouldn't be great for real spent three 272 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 8: and a half tillion dollars, we'd have a two trillion 273 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 8: dollars surplus basle. But again, those are the numbers. Yeah, listen, 274 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 8: we got a bunch of lawyers in Congress. I've found 275 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 8: that my colleagues don't like numbers that much. 276 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 7: They're not all that And that's about me. 277 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 8: Listening or you're listening to all these numbers all the time, 278 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 8: showing them all my charts. 279 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 7: But I'm pretty relentless. 280 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 3: Yes, sir, I want to ask you about another critical situation, 281 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 3: the conflict between Israel and Aaron. I mean, from day 282 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 3: to day, we have no idea what shoot. Minute to minute, 283 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 3: we have no idea what's going to happen. But if 284 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 3: President Trump comes up to Capitol Hill and says, I 285 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 3: need you to approve we want to get involved on 286 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: an official, intangible level, do you think that that would 287 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 3: pass well? 288 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 8: First of all, I don't think President has to do that. 289 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 8: He's the commander in chief. If he sees a clear 290 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 8: and present danger, he can act and I would support 291 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 8: him in that. Listen, this is such a tragedy. The 292 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 8: Raning people. We don't have a beef with the Raining people. 293 00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 7: We don't have a. 294 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 8: Beef of Chinese. These people are Russians or even North 295 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 8: Korean people. We have a problem with their dictatorial regimes. 296 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 8: And the Iranian people have been under the thumb of 297 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 8: a dictorial a brutal dictorial regime. They don't support them. 298 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 8: They are the largest state sponsor terror. They threaten our 299 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 8: shipping lanes through their proxies. They absolutely threaten Israel. They've 300 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 8: way over played their hand and what Israel has done 301 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 8: over the last years, so since October seventh, they've just 302 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 8: basically dismantled all their proxies, and now they've dismantled their 303 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 8: air defense systems and orams. Just stand they're vulnerable. So 304 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 8: it's a choice really for the Uranian people at this 305 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 8: point in time. I think the malls are weak. They 306 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 8: don't have a security apparatus. I just truly hope that 307 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 8: the Uranian people take the bull by the horns and 308 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 8: demand their freedom, turn that into far more democratic, Western 309 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 8: leading society. We would welcome them into the free nations 310 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 8: of the world. 311 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: So I would be risive. 312 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: I didn't ask to get your reaction before we let 313 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: you go to the report we had earlier this week 314 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: that the FBI in twenty twenty got meaningful intellivision that 315 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: China was trying to hijack the election with fake mail 316 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: in Ballance. Rather than fully investigated even though they had 317 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: some corroberating evidence, they swept it under the rug. Now 318 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: you highlighted the abuses of the Russia collusion in case 319 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: where they had no evidence, but they opened up. You 320 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: highlighted the ignorance of the Hunter Biden investigation not willing 321 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: to look at clear criminality. What's your thought when you 322 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: hear that the FBI saw a threat to an election 323 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: and didn't intervene, Well. 324 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 8: You understand exactly how partisan the FBI has been. And 325 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 8: by the way, the deep state continues. I knew this 326 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 8: wasn't going to be immediate radical transparency and these agencies 327 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 8: and it's not. I know that the heads of the 328 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 8: agencies want to get to Congress information. 329 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 7: It's a tough slot. So we've got a real problem. 330 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 8: I mean, the root cause of our problems with the 331 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 8: government is government itself, the size of it, the scope of. 332 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 7: It, the cost of it. 333 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 8: Until the American public understands that and stop looking the 334 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 8: federal government to solve all their problems, recognizing that the 335 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 8: federal governments creates more problems, exams the meates more problems 336 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 8: that it ever solves, and just starts demanding to start 337 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 8: shrinking it, the demand that they can keep more of 338 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 8: their own harder and tax dollars. We're going to say, 339 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 8: we're still gonna have a deep state. So this is 340 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 8: about winning the hearts and minds the American public and 341 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 8: get them to realize that the federal government is you know, 342 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 8: we need some government. Our founders realize that where men 343 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 8: and women are not perfect, if we don't want to 344 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 8: live in anarchy and chaos, you need some government. But 345 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 8: government is something by large to fear, which is why 346 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 8: they tried to establish this constitutional framework, but checks and 347 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 8: balances to limit government's power over us, because when you 348 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 8: grow government, our freedoms just necessarily recede. 349 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: A wise man said something similar in an earlier time 350 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: in history. I think it was Ronald bag and you said, 351 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: government's not the solution, it's the problem right now, and 352 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: you are echoing that with all the great work you're doing. 353 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: So great honor to have you on the show, Tay, 354 00:16:59,080 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: thanks for joining us. 355 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 7: A great evening. 356 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, great conversation and great work on that data, such 357 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: important stuff.

I 359 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: had a great chance to talk with Senator Marsha Blackburn 360 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: some amazing stuff on anti doping and China cheating in 361 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: the Olympics. 362 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 2: And a whole lot more. Not gonna want to miss it. 363 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 9: Right after these messages, Welcome back everybody. 364 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 3: Earlier today we sat down with the Senator from Tennessee, 365 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 3: Marsha Blackburn, one of our favorite folks, and she is 366 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: obviously a colleague of our last guest, Senator Ron Johnson. 367 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 5: So I take a look at us all. 368 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: Right, joining us now, someone I say, brings a healthy 369 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: dose of common sense to a sea of insanity in Washington, 370 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: the great Senator from the state of Tennessee, Marsha Blackburrin, Senator. 371 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 2: Good to have you on, good. 372 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 5: To be with you. Thank you. 373 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed this hearing yesterday. I'm a sports fixionado 374 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: in my spare time and didn't realize how many problems 375 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: we've had with the International Anti Doping Agency. Tell us 376 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: a little bit about what we've learned, the China element 377 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: to it, and where Congress probably stands on this now. 378 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 10: Indeed, I think it is so important to note that 379 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 10: we know that in twenty twenty one, when Katie McLaughlin, 380 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 10: who was with us yesterday, was given us a silver metal, 381 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 10: she was beat out by a Chinese swimmer. Twenty three 382 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 10: swimmers had been accused of doping. Well, China said, oh, 383 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 10: it was some TMZ that accidentally was in the food. 384 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 5: What we found out was the. 385 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 10: Pounds of food they would have had to have consumed, 386 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 10: in the gallons of water they would have had to 387 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 10: have consumed in order to get that amount of TMZ 388 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 10: in their bodies was not even something that was plausible 389 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 10: that they could have eaten that much every day consistently. 390 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 10: So there were twenty three swimmers all total. They got 391 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 10: garnered ninety six medals, and they knocked many of our 392 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 10: athletes off the podium. And the World Anti Doping Agency 393 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 10: or WATA as we term it, did nothing, But it 394 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 10: seemed that what they did do was to work in 395 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 10: a back room with China to accept China's explanation for this, 396 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 10: and of course then China put more money into WADA 397 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 10: for contributions and for investigations. Because of this, the United 398 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 10: States had withheld their money because our athletes are being disadvantaged. 399 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 5: And it's not only China Russia. 400 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 10: Of course, we have had some in fright from them also, 401 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 10: And it seems that WADA is cutting backroom deals and 402 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 10: not protecting athletes. 403 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 5: Doping in communist countries. I have never heard that, Senator. 404 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 11: I want to ask you about their attitude towards towards 405 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 11: this hearing and their willingness to give up information. It 406 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 11: seems like they were pretty belligerent about handing over anything, 407 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 11: and not only that, but also maybe kind of subtly 408 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 11: threatened the Salt Lake City Games. 409 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 5: Yes, indeed we heard that they had. 410 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 10: Subtly threatened the Olympic Committee regarding the Salt Lake Games 411 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 10: because they wanted to hold it over the head of 412 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 10: the US and then say, well, they weren't going to 413 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 10: let us have these games. Well, this is more of 414 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 10: their backroom deal making that they are trying to do 415 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 10: and is not able to be trusted on this. And 416 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 10: you're correct that they would not turn over any information, 417 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 10: nor did they show up at the hearing, nor have 418 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 10: they properly responded to any of our requests. So clearly 419 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,719 Speaker 10: they are hiding something. If there was nothing to hide, 420 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 10: they would comply with the request. So we'll continue on 421 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 10: this issue. I Chair Consumer Protection Data Security. This is 422 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 10: an issue that comes before us and we will continue 423 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 10: to work on this issue to protect our US athletes 424 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 10: so that they are able to train, to compete fairly 425 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 10: and to win successfully. 426 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly just cheating was going on and the body 427 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: that was supposed to stop it actually sanctioned it. 428 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 2: It's just remarkable to see such great work. Saata. 429 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: I want to turn to a subject that's dared our 430 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: heart's story, Okare a couple days ago and continue. 431 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 2: To follow up on. 432 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: The FBI got credible intelligence at China was sending fake 433 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: driver's license in the United States to create fake mail 434 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: in ballots. CPB intercepted some of the fake driver's licenses. 435 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: The FBI pulled back its investigation, in fact ordered other 436 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: intelligence agencies they had shared the intelligence with to destroy 437 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: their intelligence report get rid of any of the evidence 438 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: of what the suspicion was. Your thoughts about that era 439 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: of time with Chris Ray and the FBI and how 440 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: we fixed it under cashprotel. 441 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 5: Yes, and this is one of those things. 442 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 10: And you know, John, what is so amazing is we 443 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 10: heard these tidbits about China trying to do something with 444 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 10: fraudulent ballots to go into these states that were tossed 445 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 10: up states and throw the election. 446 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 5: So we were hearing that, but then there. 447 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 10: Was nothing that was done in the FBI said there 448 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 10: is nothing to it. 449 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 5: It's internet rumor. 450 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 10: We all remember that, and now we find out just 451 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 10: as we're finding out in many things, much of this 452 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 10: internet rumor are things that would be slipping out by 453 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 10: a whistleblower, which, of course the Biden administration would quickly 454 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 10: discredit those individuals. Well, it's true, and I was really 455 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 10: grateful that you all broke this report yesterday because this 456 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 10: is something that is lingered out there from the twenty 457 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 10: twenty elections, and the fact that Border Patrol actually found 458 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 10: some of this and tried to have it investigated, and 459 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 10: the FBI said, don't. 460 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 2: Crazy touch it. 461 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 5: Don't touch it. 462 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just crazy. 463 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 5: It changes so many of the ways that we look 464 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 5: at the twenty twenty election. 465 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 12: Senator, I wanted to ask you about a plan that 466 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 12: is supposedly in the sentence version of the One Big, 467 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 12: Beautiful Build, and I suppose it sets off a plan 468 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 12: to sell two million acres initially to private land developers, 469 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 12: fossil fuel developers. 470 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 5: But that's to happen every sixty days. 471 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 3: So these are public lands, blm lands, migrant pattern corridors, 472 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 3: hunting land, forestries, these types of areas. 473 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 5: Is it a wise idea to sell those off? 474 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 10: One of the things that we do know is many 475 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 10: people in the Western States already have leases on that land. 476 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 10: For cattle, for horses hunting, and there is tremendous concern 477 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 10: about this. You've talked about some of that that falls 478 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 10: in migrant patterns, and Border Patrol has said, no, we 479 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 10: need access to that land so that we can continue 480 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 10: with closing these pathways that migrants have used. President Trump 481 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 10: has been so successful in securing the border, and you've 482 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 10: got Secretary Nome and Tom Holman who have worked tirelessly 483 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 10: on this issue. And we need to listen to Border 484 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 10: Patrol when they say here's an area, we need to 485 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 10: hold access to it. It's not saying they're not saying 486 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 10: anyone's not saying you can't ever sell it. 487 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 5: They're just saying, this. 488 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 10: Is not something that you can throw somebody up against 489 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 10: a deadline because there are people that actually are leasing 490 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 10: this land from the federal government or something that our 491 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 10: security interests need to have access to. 492 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's important to have those sort of guardrails in there. 493 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: I said on last one I want to turn to, 494 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: and that is the issue of Iran. President is considering 495 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: maybe joining Israel in the limited way, maybe some bunker 496 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: buster bombs to finish off the New Clear program. Most 497 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: Americans because it happens episodically. Don't realize the large, long 498 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: tortured history of Iran, specifically killing Americans more than one 499 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: thousand when you add the IEDs that were deployed in 500 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: Iraq during the war. How if President Trump gets a 501 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: chance to finish off the nuclear program or take out 502 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: the regime. 503 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 2: What is your thoughts on him? 504 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 10: Acting President Donald Trump has handled this issue so incredibly well. 505 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 10: He gave he said, I'm going to give a run 506 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 10: sixty days to get to the table. 507 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 5: They did not come to the table. 508 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 10: So day sixty one you saw Israel begin with their action. 509 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 10: My understanding is the President is closely monitoring this. 510 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 5: He is very much engaged. 511 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 10: In watching this, getting intel and information from Netanyahu. I 512 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 10: know that when there is a decision to be made, 513 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 10: he is going to make the wise decision. He has 514 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 10: a goal of no more endless wars. He has had 515 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 10: an ultimatum a run cannot have a nuclear weapon. And 516 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 10: for everybody that is saying we want peace in the 517 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 10: Middle East, if you want peace in the Middle East, 518 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 10: you cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. 519 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: And no doubt in your mind, over the years that 520 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: Iron's been at war with America, through its proxies. It's 521 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: terrorism and it's IEDs ye dam. 522 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know. 523 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 10: And Iran's been making their money selling their oil to China. 524 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 10: And under President Trump first term, you had sanctions on 525 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 10: Iran and they were broke, they couldn't fund their proxies. 526 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,479 Speaker 10: And then you have them come along with Biden taking 527 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 10: that off, making deals with them, sending him six billion dollars. 528 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 10: You give Iran all, it's going to go one of 529 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 10: two places. It is going to go into uranium Enrichmond 530 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 10: or funding proxies. 531 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 5: It's not going to go to the people. 532 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 10: That's why the Iranian people are ready for regime change. 533 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe they are. Senator, great to have you 534 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: on the show.

We also have the 544 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 3: Democrats trying to force a national conversation on President Trump's 545 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 3: popular immigration. 546 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 5: Position that seems to be getting ever. 547 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 3: More popular, and joining us to break it all down 548 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 3: is Colorado Congressman Jeff Grank Congressman. 549 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 9: Welcome back. 550 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 5: Thank you so much for being here, sir, Thank you, Amanda. 551 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 7: Great to be with you guys. 552 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, happy to have you. And you know, I hail 553 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 3: from California. In fact, I moved here right after those 554 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 3: devastating fires and Pacific Palisades in Pasadena. But Colorado, a 555 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 3: lot of states are no stranger to wildfires. 556 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 5: Tell us about a. 557 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 3: New bill that you introduced that deals with this and 558 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 3: kind of maps out for everyone to know exactly what 559 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 3: are the I guess pun intended hotspots. 560 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I think it's important. 561 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 13: We don't do a whole lot that's bipartisan in Congress 562 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 13: these days, but one thing we can do, hopefully is 563 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 13: helped fight wildfires, and I introduced the bill we do. 564 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,239 Speaker 13: I think have some bipartisan support on this bill, but 565 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 13: it's going to really force the government to do a 566 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 13: better job of forecasting or doing fire weather forecasting, helping 567 00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 13: states and communities understand through mapping and other their means 568 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 13: what areas we need to be careful with regard to fire. 569 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 13: So it's really trying to create more cooperation and coordination 570 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 13: between the federal government and state and local governments. And 571 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 13: of course wildfires in Colorado, as you mentioned, California, so 572 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 13: many Western states particularly, but what we're even seeing it 573 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 13: in other places as well. It's a real problem and 574 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 13: it's just devastating to communities that it hits. 575 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. 576 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: And it's good to see the bipartisan action something that's 577 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: been neglected for a while. Fire prevention certainly, So it's 578 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: a great, great thing. So I want to turn to 579 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: this everybody's talking about, and that is will the US 580 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: joined Israel in an offensive capacity as it tries to 581 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: take out the Iranian nuclear program. Just like to get 582 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: your thoughts on where you are as you see this 583 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: play out. Is this a generational opportunity or should we 584 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: avoid the military conflict? 585 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 13: Well, look, there's moments in the history of the world 586 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 13: where we just have to make tough decisions, and I 587 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 13: think this is one of them. This is a moment 588 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,959 Speaker 13: we cannot allow and I firmly stand behind the President's 589 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 13: declaration that we cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. 590 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 13: And we know that they've been trying to get one 591 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 13: for well over a decade now. 592 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 7: They're doing everything they can to do this. 593 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 13: They've hied, they've lied, they've cheated, They've done everything they 594 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 13: can to hide the fact. They even schnokeered the Obama administration. 595 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 13: They schnuckered the Biden administration and others. But all along 596 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 13: they've been developing this capability, and their reason they want 597 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 13: to do it is to wipe Israel off the map 598 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 13: and to also export that tear around the world through 599 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 13: their proxies, through Hamas, through Hazbolah and other agents to 600 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 13: attack the United States. They're going to attack the country 601 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 13: that they call the Great Satan too, So you know, 602 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 13: we can't let this happen. I would prefer to see 603 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 13: this be an offensive effort by the Israelis and that 604 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 13: the United States not get involved in that, although we 605 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 13: are already helping them, I know, with sensors and detecting 606 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 13: missile wances in a defensive capability, and I hope we 607 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 13: will continue to do that. But if we have to 608 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 13: do that, you know, I think the President has to 609 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 13: do what he has to do to protect the American people, 610 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 13: and I'll be there to support him. 611 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,959 Speaker 7: I'm certainly there to support the people of Israel. 612 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think there's also a good point to 613 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 3: be made when it comes to the protracted nature of 614 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 3: what we saw in the early two thousands and having 615 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 3: men and women overseas in the Middle East for twenty 616 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 3: plus years. This is a very different scenario, is it not, 617 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 3: Because this is something that you sees on this opportunity 618 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 3: with they're on get rid of their nuclear programs and 619 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:47,719 Speaker 3: it's pretty fast. 620 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 13: Yeah, it is. It should be fast. And look, this 621 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 13: is a I mean, John, you said it. I mean, 622 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 13: this is a generational opportunity. This is an extension of 623 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 13: what President Trump did with the Abraham Accords. I think 624 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 13: part of one of the greatest shames of the twenty 625 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 13: twenty election is that we weren't able. If President Trump 626 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 13: would have been in office from twenty twenty to twenty 627 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 13: twenty four, I think the Abraham Accords would have taken root. 628 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 13: And you know, the Abraham Accords was really negotiated with 629 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 13: states like you know, Jordan and Saudi Arabia and others 630 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 13: that were willing to recognize Israel's right to exist and 631 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 13: that if Israel had the right to exist, that they 632 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 13: would live peacefully there. The main obstructor of that in 633 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 13: the Middle East, whether it's the Arab states like Saudi 634 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 13: Arabia and Jordan, or whether it's the israelis the main 635 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 13: objector to peace there and to allowing Israel to remain 636 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 13: on this planet. 637 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 7: To be honest with you, is Iran. 638 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 13: So I think the people of these other moderate more 639 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 13: moderate Arab states have been cheering us on and certainly 640 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 13: been cheering Israel on in this. I think the whole 641 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 13: world will be better off if we get rid of 642 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 13: this Iranian regime. 643 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 7: Let's just be honest about it. And this is just 644 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 7: a moment we got to rise up to. 645 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. So you had a terrible 646 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 2: tarror attack. 647 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: I think that's what we would call it, where anti 648 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 1: Semitism turned into hatred and then turned into murderous attempt 649 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: at murder. Can you tell us the latest of what 650 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: you've learned? And is it true that this guy who 651 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: was in the country had a driver's license even though 652 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 1: he was be here any Mark John? 653 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 13: I mean, it's shocking really when you think about it, 654 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 13: and it's really what happens when governments refused to work 655 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 13: with one another and work. 656 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 7: To protect the American people. 657 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 13: That's what we expect our governments to do, and when 658 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 13: they fail. 659 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 7: We need to hold them accountable for it. 660 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 13: This assailant in the Boulder attacks was given a work permit. 661 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 13: He was here on that that work permit expired, and 662 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 13: then months and months and months after that work permit expired, 663 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 13: the state of Colorado gave him a driver's license. They 664 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 13: gave him, really a sanctuary license is what I call it. 665 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 13: Allowed him to work in the United States despite the fact. 666 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 7: That he wasn't here legally to work. 667 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 13: But you know, gave him, gave him a driver's license 668 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 13: so he could drive and be legitimate in Colorado. 669 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 7: And I'll tell you another. 670 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 13: Thing that we've discovered in that case is that, you know, 671 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 13: he applied tried to get to buy a gun. 672 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 7: The system worked, none of us. There's nobody who's pro Second. 673 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 13: Amendment who wants a non citizen and a terrorist to 674 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 13: get a hold of guns. They did a background check 675 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 13: on him, it came back and said, no, you can't 676 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,760 Speaker 13: buy a gun because you're not a citizen. But guess 677 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 13: what the State of Colorado, Jared Poulos's Colorado Bureau of 678 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 13: Investigation and Joe Biden's FBI knew. 679 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 7: That he failed that background check. 680 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 13: They knew it, but yet they didn't pass that on 681 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 13: to Ice and say, hey, get this guy out of 682 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 13: the country. 683 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 7: He's trying he's trying to buy guns, and he's here illegally. 684 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 13: You would think that the American people would want our 685 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 13: government to work. 686 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 7: Together to get these kind of people out of our nation. 687 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: Colorado rewarded bad behavior, and then he rewarded Colorado with 688 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: even more heinous behavior. It's just a remarkable set of circumstances. 689 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: You've been able to dig up sair. 690 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it is. 691 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 13: It's so frustrating because I know that there's so many 692 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 13: good people law enforcement here in Colorado, in my county. 693 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 13: My sheriff works hard to work with Ice. But we 694 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 13: just got politicians that just don't see it that way. 695 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 13: And we just got to get to a point where 696 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 13: the American people make them pay a political price for 697 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 13: this kind of behavior, you know, where they just thumb 698 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 13: their nose at. 699 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 7: The federal government and frankly at law and order. 700 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, congressmen, really quickly before we let you go. You 701 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 3: have these pro Palestinian protesters, and now you have in 702 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,839 Speaker 3: cities across this country. The anti ice rate protesters, they 703 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 3: seem to be flying a lot of the same flags. 704 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,760 Speaker 3: What's the common ideology. 705 00:36:55,120 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 13: There, Yeah, well, you know they're flying they're making comers 706 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 13: tv ads.

Yeah, we're seeing people with these the 709 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 13: Palestinian flags and waving Palestinian flags, and people standing on 710 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 13: burned out vehicles in Los Angeles waving the Mexican flag. 711 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 7: I mean, it's offensive to the American people. 712 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 13: And I'll tell you what's really offensive is you've got 713 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 13: a lot of people in the Democrat Party that are 714 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 13: seeing this and sort of latching onto it and you know, 715 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 13: trying to have this kind of bad behavior. Senator Alex 716 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 13: Padilla of California and others just acting, you know, sort 717 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,280 Speaker 13: of boorish like they they're entitled because they're a senator 718 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 13: or they're a member of Congress, to walk into any 719 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 13: federal building at any time, you know, and charge a stage. 720 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 13: I mean, it's it's incredible to see some of the 721 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 13: actions of the politicians. But you know what these politicians 722 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 13: are embolding, emboldening these citizens that are acting non citizens 723 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 13: in a lot of cases that are acting this way. 724 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,879 Speaker 7: But look, President Trump's done a good job. Good leaders stand. 725 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,919 Speaker 13: Up and provide for law and order in their communities. 726 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 13: We need that in California, we need it in Colorado, 727 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 13: we need it all across America. 728 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 2: So important. 729 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 3: I know, if it was any everyday American, and if 730 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 3: it was even me or John and we put our 731 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 3: hands on a law enforcement officer, we would probably see 732 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 3: the same thing. So it doesn't really matter if you're 733 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 3: an United States Senator, yeah you would. 734 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 4: You know. 735 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 13: I serve on the House Armed Services Committee and I 736 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 13: was just out yesterday visiting one of our local military installations, 737 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 13: and you know what, I had to go through security. 738 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 7: I had to go through the gate, I had to 739 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 7: show them my ID, I had to let it check 740 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 7: me in. 741 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 13: I mean, it is arrogance beyond arrogance for remember of 742 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 13: Congress or a United States Senator to think that just 743 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 13: because of their position, they can show up somewhere and 744 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 13: you know, they have to be admitted onto a base.

I think a lot 774 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 2: of people were holding their breath running. What would this. 775 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: Decision be on the transgender band? Your thoughts on how 776 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: the court came down. 777 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, so this case, actually, out of the whole term, 778 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,240 Speaker 4: was the one that was most watched. Since they started 779 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,399 Speaker 4: live streaming the oral arguments. Back after COVID, you don't 780 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,800 Speaker 4: see as many people coming into the courtroom, especially the press, 781 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 4: but with this Scurmeti case, the Tennessee Attorney General defending 782 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,319 Speaker 4: this law, it was packed. Even the press section where 783 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 4: you couldn't even see the bench was filled, and so 784 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,319 Speaker 4: it was the one I think that most people are 785 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,919 Speaker 4: waiting for. I was surprised actually it came out this week. 786 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 4: I thought maybe they would save it to the very 787 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 4: last day of the term, but coming out of oral arguments, 788 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 4: it did seem like Tennessee had the upper hand. So 789 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 4: I was not surprised by the decision today upholding that 790 00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,280 Speaker 4: law banning as you mentioned, medical treatment for transgender youth. 791 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 7: The decision basically. 792 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 4: Came down to the majority the six GOP appointees saying 793 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 4: that this law really turned on age and the actual 794 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 4: diagnosis versus sex, and that was what the transgender youth, 795 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 4: their parents, and a doctor were arguing that it was 796 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 4: a sex discrimination issue and that the court should give 797 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 4: it higher scrutiny. 798 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 3: And there are going to be a lot of implications 799 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 3: for this bo because other states either already have similar 800 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 3: laws or are in the process of them. 801 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 9: Right, You're right. 802 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 4: I think there's about twenty seven states that have similar laws, 803 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 4: and so with this precedent, their laws look pretty darned strong, 804 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 4: unless those challengers are able to come in and point 805 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 4: to some sort of holes that that there might be 806 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 4: that the court didn't address in this Tennessee case. 807 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: All right, tell us about the book for a second, 808 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 1: because weaponization is something close dear to my heart. I've 809 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: been watching this go on for two decades wondering, ever, stop, 810 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: how much where's going to get? You do such a 811 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: great job in this book of laying out how we 812 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: got this moment. Tell us some of the highlights that 813 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 1: where we are, how we get out of the mess. 814 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 7: Word. 815 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was disheartening for a reporter and also a 816 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,280 Speaker 4: lawyer to watch what I have seen basically since covering 817 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 4: Capitol Hill in the Trump era, the first Trump administration, 818 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 4: but then especially during the campaign season this last year. 819 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 4: I have a group of friends from law school that 820 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 4: I stayed in touch with, and I would by no 821 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 4: means say everyone was a Trump supporter in that group, 822 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,280 Speaker 4: But every time we saw a new case come against 823 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 4: Donald Trump, we all were like, this is just wild, 824 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 4: Like the charges were questionable. So what I did was 825 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 4: I went through basically in this book and documented what 826 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 4: I argue the start of the law Fair against Trump 827 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 4: was really the Russia investigation when he first announced his 828 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,760 Speaker 4: first campaign for president, and it went from special counsel 829 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 4: then to impeachments, and then we graduated to indictments and 830 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 4: so forth, and so each chapter takes a look at 831 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 4: some of the cases that plagued to the president as 832 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 4: he campaigned. I spoke to Laura Trump and Don Junior, 833 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,319 Speaker 4: which I found very interesting getting their take about what 834 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,399 Speaker 4: it was like going through this while campaigning. Laura Trump 835 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 4: told me that every member of the family was pretty 836 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,839 Speaker 4: much impacted by the law Fair, that it even became 837 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 4: hard to get a mortgage, which you would find surprising 838 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,400 Speaker 4: since this is one of the wealthiest families in America. 839 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 4: Both her and Don Junior said that they thought one 840 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,839 Speaker 4: hundred percent if their father hadn't won, that he would 841 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,839 Speaker 4: be in jail. That basically winning was the only way 842 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 4: to keep Democrats from walking him up. There's just some 843 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 4: interesting tidbits, for sure that I found through my research. 844 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 4: Some of the criminal cases that we saw the president face. 845 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,439 Speaker 4: He was of course gagged, he had gag orders on him, 846 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 4: and during that time he did ninety about ninety Camp 847 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 4: hain rallies while under these gag orders. And if you 848 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 4: care about the First Amendment, if you care about the 849 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 4: protection of political speech, that should really trouble you. 850 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 5: You know, you want your leading. 851 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 4: Presidential candidate to be able to speak freely. And what 852 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 4: we saw were these Democrat pointed judges gagging him and 853 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,760 Speaker 4: basically restricting what he could say. 854 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 3: Okay, speaking of the First Amendment, because I have a 855 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 3: feeling this probably plays into this case. Although it's strange, 856 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 3: strange credulity a Texas law trying to ban the viewing 857 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 3: of pornography by minors. Somebody on the other side is 858 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 3: arguing against that. 859 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 5: What is their argument. 860 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 7: Yes, I know. 861 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,800 Speaker 4: Some of the times that you see some of the 862 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 4: challenges you discuss your head like really some could say 863 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 4: for the Tennessee law too. But with that being said, 864 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 4: the concern is privacy rights. I guess having to enter 865 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:57,280 Speaker 4: too much personal data to be able to access a website. 866 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 4: And so that's really what is up in this Texas 867 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 4: this case, Texas, like many other states, want. 868 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 7: To have porn websites. 869 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 4: Require an age ident verification measure. And so the question 870 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 4: is is that through some sort of scan like a 871 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 4: facial scan. Is that through entering your personal data? And 872 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 4: that's where the challengers have raised First Amendment concerns. 873 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: Goscha, Well, you said earlier, if we care about the 874 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 1: First Amendment, we should be concerned what happened. If we 875 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 1: care about facts, I think people should go read this book, 876 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 1: Lawless Law, for you are an impeccable reporter with an 877 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: incredible legal background as well.

When I come back a man, 882 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: I have a few final thoughts. 883 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 9: Welcome back everybody. 884 00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 5: A few more headlines before we head out for the night. 885 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 3: Now personally love any reporting that starts out a Florida man, 886 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,319 Speaker 3: because I know something wild is about to follow. Get 887 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 3: some and apparently there is a Florida man reptile who 888 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 3: has been roaming the sewers of Florida. Now, there's there's 889 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:20,360 Speaker 3: been this like urban legend around certain places, obviously Florida, 890 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 3: that there were alligators in the sewer, and this guy 891 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 3: proved it true. 892 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,399 Speaker 2: I guess it is. Look at that. Wow, that's kind 893 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:26,840 Speaker 2: of scary. 894 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 5: Now I'm trying to figure out perspective. I think he's 895 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,959 Speaker 5: a little guy. He looks a little clumsy. He looks 896 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 5: like he's trying to figure get. 897 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,240 Speaker 2: His walking the sewer. 898 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 5: He kind of looks like he's having a nice time. 899 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:43,879 Speaker 5: He's just flopping along sewer. He might buy a finger off. 900 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 2: That's it. 901 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 5: We got ten of them. You can afford to lose one. 902 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, more of the story. 903 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 2: I don't stick your hand down the sewer. 904 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 5: Great, that's indeed indeed. Draw backing up. 905 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 3: Okay, So I want to touch on something from our 906 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 3: last guest in the Supreme Court decision out of Tennessee. 907 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer is not too pleased about it. He called 908 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:08,720 Speaker 3: it awful and John again, I don't know why people 909 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 3: fight so hard for miners to have the ability. 910 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, miners to have the ability. 911 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 2: Well, it's a long decision for them. 912 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 5: It can sterilize. 913 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's and these are the same people who say 914 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,240 Speaker 3: that at eighteen years old, you are not mentally competent 915 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 3: enough to enter into a financial agreement with an educational institution, 916 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 3: but at fourteen you can decide to sterilize yourself. 917 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,840 Speaker 1: This is one of those circumstances where it takes a 918 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,400 Speaker 1: village mentality just dominates. Elitists believe they know better than 919 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 1: the rest of us and that they have the right 920 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 1: to dictate our future. So if you're a kid, you're 921 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,399 Speaker 1: not old enough to make your own decision, we'll make 922 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 1: it for you. If we ruin your life, don't worry 923 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 1: about it because we're elitis and we know better. I 924 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,319 Speaker 1: think Senator Schumer and the Democratic Party and those who 925 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 1: advocate for this, listen, Great Britain's pretty liberal even it 926 00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:00,240 Speaker 1: came around on this subject. This is a losing bat. 927 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 1: You look at the polling, it's like an eighty twenty issue, 928 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 1: maybe even more ninety ten, which. 929 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,959 Speaker 3: Which is which makes it surprising to me that Chuck 930 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 3: Schumer would come out against it. 931 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 5: You know, Chuck Schumer on. 932 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 1: This is the party that likes Iranian terrorists, gang members, 933 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 1: MS thirteen gang members, and people who like the main children. 934 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: And I just I don't I don't understand how they're 935 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,359 Speaker 1: trying to build a majority with these very fringe They're 936 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 1: making themselves more irrelevant. 937 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:29,919 Speaker 13: I think. 938 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. 939 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 3: And you know, when we were talking to Senator Blackburn 940 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 3: about WATA, the World Anti Doping Agency and the American 941 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 3: athletes who got screwed for lack of better terms out 942 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 3: of medals, I think about that with respect to transgenders 943 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 3: and sport. It's not an equal playing field when someone's doping, 944 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 3: when someone. 945 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,760 Speaker 5: Is a dude playing against girls, it's cheating. It's all cheating. 946 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: Just like just like the Senator said today, there's one 947 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 1: Democrat that seems to be reading the polls and maybe 948 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 1: even leaning, and that's John Fetterman. I don't know how 949 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: much more that Democrats can ostracize him, but he just 950 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,320 Speaker 1: doesn't care. And it's kind of liberating when you find 951 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 1: someone that isn't trapped by the voice of the minority 952 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,399 Speaker 1: or you know, the vocal fringe, and he just has 953 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 1: he's unhinged from the fringe. And I think it's really interesting. 954 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:16,239 Speaker 5: Yeah. 955 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 3: I used to not understand how he could so audaciously 956 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 3: walk up to Capitol Hill, walk up to his Senate 957 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 3: office in Jim Schwartz and a hoodie every. 958 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 5: Day, and seeing how he has. 959 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,920 Speaker 3: Maneuvered through all of the ostracizing, now I get it. 960 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,120 Speaker 5: It's because he doesn't care. He doesn't care what others think. 961 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 5: I still don't like the wardrobe, but. 962 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 1: Sures brings some respect me to Captain in sec But yeah, 963 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: I know, listen, there is a there's a streak of 964 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,759 Speaker 1: independence to him that clearly is frustrating his party, and. 965 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 2: That it's kind of fun to watch. It's a dynamic. 966 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 2: I can see it very often in my life. 967 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 3: It's nice to see, all right, everybody that's going to 968 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 3: do it for us Tonight. 969 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 5: We will be back here at six pm Eastern tomorrow. 970 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 3: Head over to justinews dot com for more explosive headlines. 971 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 5: We'll see to Martin
