Speaker 1: a really great deal, all right. A couple of quick headlines.

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: Elections have consequences. Donald Trump keeps imposing them day in,

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: head day out. Today, the State Department announced that it

13
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: is putting a pause on all foreign student applications seeking

14
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: visas to come in and study at American universities. This

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: so that the Department and the rest of the security

16
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: apparatus in the United States government can better vet those

17
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: who might be at risk at espionage, or risk at terrorism,

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: or a risk at inciting violence and hatred on campuses.

19
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: That happened a little while ago.

20
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, a lot of other developments on the front lines.

21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: Just a few moments ago, President Trump and his team

22
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: announcing that they had pardoned the Chrizzlies the mom and

23
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: Dad team on television. They had been sentenced to a

24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: prison back in twenty twenty two. President Trump calling their

25
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: daughter a little while ago to announce that he had

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: given them a full and unconditional pardon. That happened just

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago, Amanda, a lot of other things

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: going on today.

29
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: What's top of mind on your radar?

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I'll just say on the Chryslies, there

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: were a lot of I think seemingly neutral prosecutors out

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: there who said this was this was pretty harshly prosecuted

33
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: when it came to the Chryslies and to the student

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: visa issue. You know, John, you and I talk about

35
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: continuously with members of Congress about the backlog that is

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: across all of government, and the student visa program is

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: no different. We've got I think seven million outstanding student

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: visas right now. Number one, give Americans a shot at

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: these great universities. And number two, let's make sure that

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: we can slow it down, give it a pause, like

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: they said, so that we can vet these people more carefully.

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the vetting is important. Another thing we're

43
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: starting to do for the first time, we're really starting

44
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: to vet the.

45
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: Vaccines, the covid vaccines. Today another suspension of recommendations. AHHS

46
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: will no longer recommend the covid vaccine to healthy children

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: or to healthy pregnant mothers.

48
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: That's a big deal.

49
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: Again, all the things we were talking about with Ron

50
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: Johnson on the show Friday, we're starting to see progress on.

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: It's a pretty remarkable time.

52
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

53
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: Another place we're seeing a lot of progress is that

54
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: the Environmental Protection Administration there agency, excuse me, that's where

55
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: Lee's Elden, the former congressman, has taken over and has

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: he made a difference in four months all sorts of changes,

57
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: from twenty two billion dollars of savings in money to

58
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: signal rollbacks of regulatory regulations that in fact often weren't

59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: based in science. Memory were always told to follow science

60
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: until while we weren't well earlier. Today, Amanda and I

61
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: had a good chance to sit down with these out

62
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: and take stock.

63
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: Of all he's done. Take a watch. It's a really

64
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: interesting interview.

65
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: All right, joining us now the man behind all of

66
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: that progress inside the environmental protection and to see the

67
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: administrator of the APE himself.

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: Lee's Eldon, mister administrator. Good to have you on the show.

69
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: Great to be back.

70
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: All right.

71
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: It's an amazing catalog of what's happened in the first

72
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: four months. More than twenty two billion dollars of savings

73
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: with another three hundred million coming down the pike, significant

74
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: regulation rollbacks, and really a compass change that you can

75
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: have environmental and economic growth in sign environmental protection and

76
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: economic growth at the same time. What's been the secret

77
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: to just setting that compass where you have.

78
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: I think it's a very important basic point, a very

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 5: basic principle that you just laid out. We can both

80
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 5: protect the environment and grow the economy.

81
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 4: What we were witnessing over the course of the last

82
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: few years was a choice.

83
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 5: Being made by the Biden administration that we can have

84
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 5: one or the other.

85
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: The Trump EPA disagrees with that.

86
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 5: We want to make sure that we are fulfilling our

87
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 5: core mission and protecting human health in the environment that

88
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 5: we are delivering in any way we possibly can. President

89
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 5: Trump's goal of working towards clean airline and water for

90
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 5: all Americans while we are also heating the demands of

91
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 5: the American public where they want to see America unleash

92
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 5: energy dominance. They want federal agencies like the EPA advancing

93
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 5: cooperative federalism, pursuing permitting reform, making America the AI capital

94
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 5: of the world, and bringing back American.

95
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 4: Auto jobs for us.

96
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 5: We call that powering the great American comeback. We want

97
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 5: to get all of this done as quickly as possible

98
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 5: without basing ourselves, sir.

99
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 3: The regulatory state has been such a bird to the

100
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: American people. It affects everything from cosmetology licenses to out

101
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: makeup of a river and whether you can actually build

102
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: a bridge over it. If the Rains Act is indeed

103
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: in this big beautiful bill, it's now at the Senate,

104
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: it gets passed out of the Senate, President Trump signs

105
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: it into law. How much of an ef factor I

106
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 3: suppose Is there any single industry in this country that

107
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: won't be affected? Positively?

108
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 5: I've been supportive of the Rains actating back to my

109
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: time in the House of Representatives. This has been a

110
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 5: push by many members of Congress for a long time.

111
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 5: So see this close to the finish line after all

112
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: of those years is definitely a very special thing. The

113
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 5: Reconciliation Bill is, as President Trump refers to and others,

114
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 5: the one big, beautiful bill. Hopefully this gets over the

115
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 5: finish line, and then as you look forward with the

116
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 5: legislative agenda, there'll be other opportunities to get a permitting

117
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 5: reform done, NIPA reform to make it easier to invest

118
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 5: in America at less costs, taking less time, and having

119
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 5: more certainty.

120
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 4: The actions that an agency takes is durable.

121
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 5: As much as an agency can take action through regulation,

122
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 5: what is most durable of an action is when Congress

123
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 5: actually passes a law that changes statute.

124
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of action.

125
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 5: That we're going to be taken here at the EPA

126
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 5: this year that we're very proud of. We're working hard,

127
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 5: as I mentioned a minute or two ago, we're not

128
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 5: pacing ourselves.

129
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 4: This isn't something that we view four years as.

130
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 5: A timeframe to get everything across the finish line. We

131
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 5: want to do as much as possible this year, and

132
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 5: for this moment where Republicans have control of the House

133
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 5: and the Senate and the White House, it's important to

134
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 5: pass good, durable changes of legislation that even if the

135
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 5: pendulum must have swing in the presidential election.

136
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 4: What we are fighting.

137
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 5: For hard right now to get the right policies in place,

138
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: are able to stay in and withstanding the test of

139
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 5: time going forward.

140
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: It's remarkable to watch the other side, the opposition's reaction

141
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: to everything you're doing, lawsuit after lawsuit, really insulting comments

142
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: at hearings. You've managed to just push that all the way.

143
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: You don't let them distract that, even though they want

144
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: to take tax dollars and waste it on court fights.

145
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: You're just pushing ahead when you come up with I

146
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: guess because you work with some of them, you kind

147
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 1: of know them well. But the Democrats opposition, it doesn't

148
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: actually address the facts, right adjustice addresses their base.

149
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: Is that right?

150
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 6: Yeah?

151
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 5: I mean I went through four hearings over the course

152
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 5: of last week in the prior week, two in the House,

153
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 5: two in the Senate, and there were exchanges with members

154
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 5: of Congress on both sides of the aisle that were

155
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 5: very substantive and positive. Where we are working with members

156
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 5: of the House and Senate to be able to get

157
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 5: our job done on behalf of all Americans. There are

158
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 5: some people who when the light is on and the

159
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 5: video is rolling, they're trying to grab a clip for

160
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 5: social media and for President Rome's cabinet members. We're not

161
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 5: going to just sit there and take it. We're going

162
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 5: to push back. We're going to fight back every single time.

163
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 5: So as soon as Senator white House last week at

164
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 5: the SENDI EPW Committee and started to try to create

165
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: his own little viral moment, he wasn't going to have

166
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 5: a free reign. I was going to push back the

167
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 5: way that I did, and I would encourage more members

168
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 5: of Congress to follow the model of trying to use

169
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 5: your time towards substantively fighting for your constituents rather than

170
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 5: just trying to hear yourself talk.

171
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: Sarah, I know you're one of those folks who understands

172
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: that energy security is national security. And look no further

173
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 3: than countries like China that are putting one coal fired

174
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: power plant on the grid every single week. And I

175
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: know that you are looking to strip back those federal

176
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: greenhouse vans for gas and coal fired power plants.

177
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 4: Tell us about that push.

178
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 5: On March twelfth, EPA announced thirty one regulatory actions that

179
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 5: we are taking. We're going to follow the Administrative Procedure Act.

180
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 5: We are going to follow the law I'm not going

181
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 5: to be allowed to prejudge outcomes.

182
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: There will be a point in.

183
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 5: The process where, well, I'll be able to make decisions,

184
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 5: and we're going to work quickly. We have already started

185
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 5: to release proposed rules.

186
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 4: There are more that are going.

187
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 5: To be coming out very soon, and we're going to

188
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 5: do it all at once. I've actually I've been asked

189
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: a lot what it's the biggest surprise. What's been the

190
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 5: biggest shock since you become became EPA administrator. The answer is,

191
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 5: I'm surprised by how much we're able to do it once.

192
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 5: We want to follow the science, We want to follow

193
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 5: sound science.

194
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: And we also want to heed the demands of the.

195
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 5: American public that they are desperately calling for economic relief.

196
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 5: And what happened in twenty twenty three and twenty twenty

197
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 5: four is that the Biden EPA we're passing all was

198
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 5: passing all sorts of new regulations, getting them a over

199
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 5: the finish line. That we're seeking to strangulate entire industries

200
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 5: out of existence. That causes a lot of economic pain

201
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 5: for states. It's a loss of jobs, it could cost

202
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 5: more to be able to heat your home, and some

203
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 5: who have opposed our actions over the course of these

204
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 5: last few months. Want to put out some photograph of

205
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 5: some river from the nineteen sixties and say, this is

206
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 5: what the water is going to look like if we

207
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 5: get rid of these regulations. We're talking about regulations from

208
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 5: twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four almost entirely. So

209
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 5: if you want to accurately put out some photo of

210
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 5: air quality, water quality, land quality, show a photo from.

211
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: A year ago.

212
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 5: But let's be honest with the American public. A lot

213
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: of states are desperate for this action. They are looking

214
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 5: for state implementation plans to be brought over the finish

215
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 5: line agreed upon. We heard a big backlog with state

216
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 5: implementation plans, requests for primacy to allow states to be

217
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,359
Speaker 5: able to be controlled in control of their own destiny.

218
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: We inherited a new chemicals backlog of about five hundred,

219
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 5: at pesticide review backlog of about fourteen thousand.

220
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 4: That list goes on, and we.

221
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 5: Are putting the resources towards getting through these backlogs as

222
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 5: quickly as we possibly can to fulfill all of our

223
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 5: statutory obligations. And I've said this in the past, it's

224
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 5: something I take to heart.

225
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: It keeps me up at night.

226
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 5: I want to make the American public proud, and I

227
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 5: understand it. Not every American out there is going to

228
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 5: agree to every action that we take. I will say

229
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 5: quite proudly that on the one hundredth day of President

230
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 5: Trump's term in office, we released one hundred environmental actions

231
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 5: that we took in those first one hundred days. And

232
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 5: from our efforts to combat ross sewage entering into the

233
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 5: United States from Tijuana, Mexico, to cleaning up after the

234
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 5: catastrophic Los Angeles wildfires, towards increasing water quality in southeast

235
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 5: Pennsylvania and into Delaware, Maryland.

236
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 4: There's so much.

237
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 5: Across this country that we're very proud of being able

238
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 5: to push to protect the environment.

239
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 4: We're going to keep up that pace as well.

240
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, about a month or two ago, as you

241
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: were doing some of your work, we had a story

242
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: that looked at how sometimes the science followed the regulatory

243
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: findings that they would make get the science after they.

244
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 2: Had already done it.

245
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: From what you've seen, are there problems with some prior

246
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: regulatory findings that didn't follow science, or that science came

247
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: after the fact.

248
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Listen, we don't want to bias the science one

249
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 5: way or the other.

250
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 4: We just want the facts. We just want the truth.

251
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 5: We want the science to be able to inform our

252
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 5: decision making very productively. It's a very important part of

253
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 5: our mission. We are increasing capacity inside of certain program

254
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 5: offices to be able to add science to their efforts.

255
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 5: We were creating a new Office of State their partnerships

256
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 5: inside the Office of Air and Radiation to get more

257
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 5: of these state implementation plans done and empower states to

258
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 5: advance federalism.

259
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 4: There's a lot.

260
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 5: There that needs to be done that will allow us

261
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 5: to better fulfill our statutory obligations, and that's something that

262
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 5: we're going to be pursuing quite aggressively.

263
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 4: When you look in the past, some decisions.

264
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 5: Have been made where the approach towards science was to

265
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 5: try to steer towards a particular result. One of the

266
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 5: examples that is quite interesting is when you look at

267
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 5: the two thousand and nine Endangerment Finding. Towards the beginning

268
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 5: of the Obama administration, they were looking at carbon dioxide,

269
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 5: not researching it on its own to see whether or

270
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 5: not it creates an endangerment, but they were looking at

271
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 5: it when it was mixed with five other well mixed

272
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 5: gases called the greenhouse gases. And when they did that,

273
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 5: studying all six at once, they were studying whether or

274
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 5: not it could tributes or causes climate change, not causing

275
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 5: a direct They weren't looking at whether or not there

276
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 5: was a direct link towards endangering public health. They then

277
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 5: concluded that climate change in dangers public health. So if

278
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 5: you're following me through that logic, there's a lot of

279
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 5: mental leaps that are done there. You fast forward to

280
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five, and what they say now is carbon

281
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 5: dioxide in endangers public health. Carbon dioxide is a pollutant.

282
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 4: When you go back and you look.

283
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 5: At the science of how they reached that conclusion in

284
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 5: two thousand and nine, they never studied carbon dioxide by itself.

285
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 5: They looked at it combined with these other well mixed gases.

286
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,239
Speaker 4: They were only supposed to be looking at vehicles.

287
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 5: Some of those other gases aren't even admitted from vehicles.

288
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 5: So let's just be honest with the way we conduct science.

289
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 5: Let's not bias it. Whatever the results show, we make informed,

290
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 5: educated decisions based off of it, and we should be

291
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 5: maximum transparent with the public.

292
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, very quickly, before we let you go. I

293
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: know a lot of people might not a natural connection

294
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 3: between HHS and EPA, but I know you are hugely

295
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: supportive of what they are doing with respect to spikes

296
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: in childhood obesity and cancer and autism. How are you

297
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: serving in that role to support them?

298
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 5: His secretary Kennedy's doing a great job shairing the Make

299
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 5: America Healthy Again Commission. Last week he released his report.

300
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 5: President Trump was there. This wouldn't be happening of not

301
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 5: for President Trump. This is a campaign promise that he's

302
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 5: working hard to fulfill. And the truth is that there

303
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 5: are many ways that we can do more to make

304
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 5: America healthy, and we should be pursuing all of those

305
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 5: different options and doing so aggressively with the different equities

306
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 5: of different agencies. This is another example of where we

307
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 5: need to follow sound science to make smart decisions. We

308
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 5: want to do our part here at the EPA to

309
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 5: help that process.

310
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 3: All of the science.

311
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: Man amazing.

312
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: I was at a dinner party the other day and

313
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: I was asking who's the most effective in the cabinet

314
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: and your name kept coming up.

315
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: Your administrator.

316
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: People really appreciate and they see that progress, and they

317
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: do realize you're actually not pacing yourself. You only have

318
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: one pace and that's fast forward. Good to have you

319
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: on the show, so thank you both. Yes the conversation.

320
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: All right, folks, we're gonna take a quicker rsial breakleby

321
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: right back after the these messages.

322
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: Hey, folks, are you a yo yo dieter? You diet,

323
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: you lose weight.

324
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: And then you gain it back plus a few extra, right,

325
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: you know how that goes. You lose it again and

326
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: you regain it. It's a bad cycle, right, It's dangerous. Actually,

327
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: studies show that yo yo dieting can increase your risk

328
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: of heart attack, stroke, type two diabetes, and other health problem.

329
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: It's a real concern.

330
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 6: Breaking free of.

331
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: Your yo yo diet pattern is a main reason doctors

332
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: created Lean. Lean is a supplement, not an injection, and

333
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: you don't need a prescription for it. The science behind

334
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: lian is impressive.

335
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: It's studied.

336
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: Natural ingredients target weight loss in three powerful ways. Lean

337
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: helps maintain healthy but sugar that's important. It helps control

338
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: appetite that's important, and it helps burn fat by converting

339
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: fat into energy. Listen, if you're tired of losing weight

340
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: and getting it all back, if you want to lose

341
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: meaningful ly at a healthy pace. Lean was created just

342
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: for you. Let me get to start it with twenty

346
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: Welcome back to just the News, no Noise. President Trump

347
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 3: has been delivering on a lot of his promises so far,

348
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 3: and he hasn't even been in office that long. But

349
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 3: one of those promises that he made sure to keep

350
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: from day one was securing our southern border, and he

351
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 3: ended up decreasing southern border crossing substantially, despite the Biden

352
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 3: administration and President Biden himself saying that there wasn't much

353
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 3: that he could do without passing comprehensive my immigration reform.

354
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 3: So that's been proven wrong, obviously, because it turns out

355
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: we just needed to enforce the laws that were already

356
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: on the books. But more has been done than just that,

357
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 3: and joining us now to talk about all of it

358
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 3: is someone who just wrapped up a southern border visit,

359
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman, who went down there with

360
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 3: number of other Republican ags. General Coleman, Thanks so much

361
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: for being here tonight.

362
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 6: Good evening, Thanks for having me.

363
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 3: Absolutely sir, so I imagine this excursion down there, you

364
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 3: saw something very different from what you would have seen

365
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: a year ago. Tell us about your experience.

366
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 7: The march towards common sense continues from the conversation you

367
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 7: just had with Administrator Zelden and having a climate policy,

368
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 7: environmental policy based on science, shockingly enough, to a border

369
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 7: policy based on the reality of what the threats are.

370
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 7: I went down to Yuma, the busy Uma sector in Arizona,

371
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 7: with a dozen attorneys general, Republican attorneys general from across

372
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 7: the country, my colleagues, to see what real leadership on

373
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 7: the border looks like. And I will tell you what

374
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 7: we saw was stunning, stunning because of the delta between

375
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 7: where we were just a few short years ago and

376
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 7: where we are now. I'll tell you what that looks like.

377
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 7: It looks like fifteen hundred average crossings a day, these

378
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 7: our folks coming across illegally into the United States from

379
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 7: fifteen hundred to four under the Trump administration. That's not

380
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 7: four hundred, that's four from fifteen hundred to four. And

381
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 7: with that decrease and the poison that's coming into this country,

382
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 7: that's killing our kids. That is a result of great

383
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 7: leadership out of the Trump administration, from President Trump, from

384
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 7: Sectory Nome to our outstanding borders are Director Homan, who

385
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 7: was scheduled to be with us but had pressing matters

386
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 7: in Washington, d C. It was convicting, is what it

387
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 7: was and what we saw.

388
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so important, sir. You've had the story crew. You

389
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: worked as an FBI agent, you worked at the Justice Department.

390
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: Now you're a Kentucky's chief law enforcement officer, and I

391
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: know you really value the collaboration that law enforcement works

392
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: best when they work together a lot. You had a

393
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: great anecdote we talked about about a month ago. I

394
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: think a lot of people on the show, I haven't

395
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: heard it yet, of how you and some other ags

396
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: spotted a loophole that was letting China and the cartels

397
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: get feedanl precursors into the country. You did something and

398
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: very quickly it got shut down. Tell us that story.

399
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: It's such an amazing story.

400
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 7: Oftentimes, our biggest limiting factors in law enforcement and better

401
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 7: protecting this country one having good policy, having a partner

402
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 7: in Washington, d c versus someone who's on the other

403
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 7: side of the V and the other side of common sense,

404
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 7: which is what we've endured these last few years. But

405
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 7: it's collaborating, it's tearing down silos. Our biggest limiting factor

406
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 7: oftentimes is bureaucracy. It's what it says on our badge.

407
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 7: It's that the sheriff's office oftentimes doesn't work with the

408
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 7: local police department.

409
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 6: What the heck do the FEDS do?

410
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 7: At the end of the day, those limiting factors make

411
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 7: us less effective in law enforcement. The bad guys are

412
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 7: becoming more and more effective. We in law enforcement have

413
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 7: to run faster, We have to collaborate zealously. And so

414
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 7: what we're talking about, and I appreciate you raising this

415
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 7: again because it's an example of zealous collaboration. It's an

416
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 7: example of two dozen attorneys general joining me, going to

417
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 7: the Trump administration saying, we have a loophole. We have

418
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 7: a loophole that a vast amount of commerce is coming

419
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 7: into this country from China, from Hong Kong, fentanyl coming

420
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 7: in with little or no review at the border. Bit

421
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 7: of a head scratcher. And so we raised that. Two

422
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 7: dozen of us raised that, and within three days. The

423
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 7: Trump administration responded, affirmatively, responded with a fire in the

424
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 7: belly and closed this loophole, making America safer. It's just

425
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 7: nothing's easy. There's no low hanging fruit and policy formulation.

426
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 7: But what this is is it demonstrates the impact when

427
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 7: we can have colleagues in DC versus those that are

428
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 7: opponents on these common sense law enforcement issues.

429
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: They used to say the wheels of government moves slowly,

430
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 3: but it feels like with President Trump and office, things

431
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: are moving at warp speed, sir. For you, you talked

432
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 3: about that collaboration that has to take place obviously with

433
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 3: local law enforcement, but also when there's clarity from the

434
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 3: top down, from the Department of Justice down to the states,

435
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 3: all the way down to the local governments, I would

436
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: imagine that makes your job easier as a man of

437
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 3: law enforcement.

438
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 7: Well, let's go back to the Southwest border as an

439
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 7: example that from fifteen hundred crossings a day on average

440
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 7: to four what was the delta? What was the difference maker?

441
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 7: It was clarity. The day President Trump took office in

442
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 7: changing the catch and release policy, it was finishing that structure,

443
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 7: that thirty foot wall, It was instructing our partners, the

444
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 7: United States Attorneys a job that I previously held. It

445
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 7: was instructing them to support the men and women of

446
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 7: the Border patrols, to support ice, don't find reasons not

447
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 7: to prosecute cases, but zealously collaborate and enforce the law.

448
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 7: A lot of that sounds like common sense. I know

449
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 7: it can be a head scratcher. Why weren't we doing

450
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 7: these things to begin with? But the reality that wasn't happening,

451
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 7: and that all changed on January twentieth. The result is

452
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 7: the difference in fifteen hundred illegal crossings and four and

453
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 7: let me say this, the town Yuma, it was convicting

454
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 7: for me. The town of Yuma is about the size

455
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 7: of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, Hardin County, Kentucky, where I have family,

456
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 7: one hundred and ten thousand people. In the period of

457
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 7: time where we saw the greatest number of crossings of

458
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 7: that Uma sector, three hundred thousand came across that border

459
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 7: that were not legally from one hundred and eighty countries

460
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 7: that were not legally permitted to be in the United States.

461
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 7: It truly was an invasion of an American city.

462
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: It's just stunning. I mean, those statistics are stunning when

463
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: you hear them. It's just it's so mind boggling. I

464
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: want to talk a little bit about EPA and science

465
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: and Lee's Aldam.

466
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 2: We just had them on.

467
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, you've been fighting for some common sense

468
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: and you've been getting a lot of it. Recently, the

469
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: Senate rolled back some of the California car restrictions that

470
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: would have imposed incredible costs on Kentuckians. In some of

471
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: the War on coal regulations are in the process of

472
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: being rescinded. How important is that to the economy and

473
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: to just the common welfare of those in your great commonwealth.

474
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 7: Well from growing up, the food that came across my

475
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 7: table was a product of my dad working in manufacturing.

476
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 7: We had factories and we can compete in the Commonwealth

477
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 7: of Kentucky because our competitive advantage was our utility pricing.

478
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 7: With what we saw in the previous administration, we were

479
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 7: losing the ability to tap into that Saudi Arabia of

480
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 7: coal that allowed us to keep our costs down to

481
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 7: be efficient to compete in terms of bringing in manufacturing.

482
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 7: A little known job of the top cop of the Commonwealth,

483
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 7: the Attorney General, and many of my colleagues are also

484
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 7: tasked with fighting for ratepayers ensuring that we have reliable,

485
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 7: affordable utilities. That's a statutory mandate of my job and

486
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 7: many other ages.

487
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 6: We were losing that battle.

488
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 7: We were losing the ability to access the incredible resource

489
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 7: that we have throughout eastern and western Kentucky, not only

490
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 7: the direct jobs, but so much of our economy has

491
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 7: been tied to advanced manufacturing. Those jobs we were looking

492
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 7: at potentially losing as well. We produce through Toyota and

493
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 7: Ford Great f two fifties, and those of you who

494
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 7: are race car fans corvettes down in Boullergreen, Kentucky. Those

495
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 7: facilities are in Kentucky because largely because of our utility rates,

496
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 7: and we were losing that competitive advantage. And so oftentimes

497
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 7: I joke that I carried around a spreadsheet that listed

498
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 7: the number of matters that we were adverse Commonwealth versus

499
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 7: the EPA, Commonwealth versus the Department of Transportation.

500
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 6: On eb mandates.

501
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 7: I don't have to carry around that anymore, because while

502
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 7: we don't change those rules with a flip of a switch,

503
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 7: we now have partners in Washington, DC that want to

504
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 7: apply common sense policy and that want to support us,

505
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 7: aren't our opponents, And I can use those resources, use

506
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 7: that time, use those litigation resources to focus on public safety,

507
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 7: to focus on mitigating violence, to focus on reducing the

508
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 7: overdose desk that we see in the Commonwealth, all from

509
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 7: substances from.

510
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 6: Over that poorest southwest border.

511
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 7: I can focus those resources on fighting the bad guys,

512
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 7: not suing our own government.

513
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 3: Sir. I look at attorneys general like you, like Andrew Bailey,

514
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 3: Liz merle Ken Paxton, Patrick Morrissey, who's now governor. I

515
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: look at all of you who have worked so hard

516
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 3: at the grassroots level to enforce law and order in

517
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 3: your state and to make things better for your state,

518
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 3: and you juxtapose that against these states like California, like

519
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 3: New York, Connecticut, Illinois that have a blue state, very

520
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 3: very far left radical attorneys general who like you, were

521
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: just talking about perfect examples of people who are constantly

522
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: suing the Trump administration. It feels like there's got to

523
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 3: be a point where your average everyday American looks at

524
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: the two scenarios and they look at a state like

525
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 3: yours and they say, this looks so much better. Do

526
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 3: you anticipate that there will be migration to more red states.

527
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 6: From your lips to God's ears.

528
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 7: And certainly we welcome migration of talent from all of

529
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 7: those states you mentioned.

530
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 6: We are hiring.

531
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 7: We have a great quality of life, a low cost

532
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 7: of living. Plus the University Kentucky, the most outstanding college

533
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 7: basketball program in the history of the NCAA, welcomes more fans.

534
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 6: So come on in. The water is just fine here

535
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 6: in the Commonwealth, and.

536
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: The basketball is pretty good. Indeed, so real quickly, you

537
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: got a lesson a minute left. You've taken on another

538
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: element of China's warfare against our young people. Obviously Fendel

539
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: was one of them, taking on Chinese vapes. Tell us

540
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: a little bit about your war in Chinese shapes. Because

541
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: you're protecting the kids in your state.

542
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 7: Well, this is a real concern to me as a

543
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 7: dad of young kids as well as attorney general. And

544
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 7: that is enforcing the laws is passed by the General Assembly.

545
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 7: As it regards to cracking down on these fly by

546
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 7: night substances that are coming in, these devices that are

547
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 7: coming into stores all over Kentucky. We're seeing them all

548
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 7: over the United States. We don't know what that supply

549
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 7: chain looks like. We don't know what they hold in

550
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 7: terms of substances.

551
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 6: But they're also marketed to kids.

552
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 7: They look like Bluey, those of you parents, they look

553
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 7: like SpongeBob. They are not designed for an older demographic.

554
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 7: They are designed with their flavors. They are designed to

555
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 7: entract kids. And we have no idea what are in

556
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 7: those and so we'll be enforcing the laws as passed

557
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 7: by our legislature and restricting those aggressively.

558
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely so important.

559
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 3: I'm believably horrific that they do that. That's just insane.

560
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for fighting for that, Kentucky is turny,

561
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 3: General Russell Coleman. It was such an honor to have

562
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: you here tonight, sir. Thank you, the.

563
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 6: Pleasure is mine.

564
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 7: And thank you for listing me along that list of luminaries,

565
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 7: those colleagues, the Republican ags from across the country.

566
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 6: I'm honored to be included with them.

567
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 3: You fit in very very well. You all are birds

568
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 3: of a feather. Thank you so much, sir. All right, everybody,

569
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 3: we're going to take a quick break and election integrity. Yep,

570
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 3: we're still talking about it because it's still not perfect,

571
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: and we won't stop Menville. It is fool River.

572
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: Welcome back in America.

573
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: Earlier today, a man and I had a chance to

574
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 1: interview the CEO of the flagshirt dot Com. He's one

575
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: of my favorite, Steve Sterny always talks about election security. Also,

576
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: he's got a big plan for Flag Day in America,

577
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: something we should all celebrate a little bit more.

578
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: Take a look on this.

579
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 8: Thank you for having me here.

580
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 9: And we're going to talk about two great events coming

581
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 9: up at our Election Integrity event and our Flag Day event.

582
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 8: Well, these events are super great.

583
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 9: The first we'll talk about an election security event, which

584
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 9: is coming up on June eleventh. We're going to do

585
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 9: a fifteen of peters. We're going to have close to

586
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 9: eight million people on that and on Flag Day we're

587
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 9: going to have on the fourteenth, close to ten million people.

588
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 9: A lot of people say, well, how do you do that?

589
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 8: Very simple?

590
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 9: We asked all our friends to put it on their programs.

591
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 9: We got radio, TVs, Third American, Lindell, DV, cloud Hub,

592
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 9: rumble Getter, every place is doing it this year. Last

593
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 9: year we had about a million people, were expecting ten

594
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 9: million people.

595
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 8: A lot of people ask how do we get on

596
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 8: to see this?

597
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 9: Well, you can go to Stern ten fifty four at

598
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 9: gmail dot com. Send me a request and we'll send

599
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 9: you a link to either the election security call or

600
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 9: the Flag Day event.

601
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 8: So Flag Day is so important to us.

602
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 9: Every year patriotism has gone down from seventy three percent

603
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 9: to about thirty eight percent. And you know, as we

604
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 9: celebrated yesterday Memorial Day, we just don't remember the fallen.

605
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 9: We recommit ourselves to defending the country that they died for.

606
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 8: These brave men and women gave their lives.

607
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 9: For globalism, not for corruption, not for globalism, but for

608
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 9: American sovereignty, freedom, and the Constitution. While some politicians bow

609
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 9: to foreign interest and weaken our nation from within, those

610
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 9: who stood for America and we vowed to do the same.

611
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 9: So Flag Day we recognize our great flag. And why

612
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 9: you pledge a legions to the flag. You know a

613
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 9: lot of people going on the vice chair of the

614
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 9: Brow Republican Executive Committee. I was in a three twenty

615
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 9: fourth general hospital unit in the Vietnam War, so I've

616
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 9: seen it all. I've been in business seventy one years.

617
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 9: You don't find too many people like that. May twentieth

618
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 9: I was eighty four. We've got people involved and we

619
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 9: do precinct strategy. Precing strategy helps people get involved in

620
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 9: the Republican Party. So let's go back to our election

621
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 9: security thing and why that's important. We've been doing this

622
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 9: for two and a half years, and when President Trump

623
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 9: won the election, Susanie Wilds texted me saying, thank you

624
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 9: for all you did. All we did was bring people together,

625
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 9: let them know how to get involved in election security

626
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 9: and what to do in their precincts. So this time

627
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 9: we have some important people coming on. We have Joe

628
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 9: Altman coming on, who's going to talk about Tina Peters.

629
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 9: We have Ralph Kushi coming in from Hawaii talking about

630
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 9: what's going on Hawaii, because a lot of people don't

663
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 9: thousand people call the governor and we had President Trump

664
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:30,840

665
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,200

Speaker 1: Think are realizing they need to do more to great

668
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: patriotic sense in their children.

669
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: Flag Days a perfect day.

670
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: My mom and dad used to always take me to

671
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: a Flag Day ceremony in our local community when we

672
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: are growing up.

673
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: What's a fun idea.

674
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: You have free parents or grandparents who are watching today

675
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: where they can help their children appreciate this country and

676
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: celebrate Flag Day in a meaningful way.

677
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 9: Well, I think the most important thing is when you

678
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 9: say the pledgeents of leech and find out what you're

679
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 9: actually pledging to this country, because a lot of people

680
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 9: go up every event we have the Republican Party.

681
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 8: People have done the pledge of allegiance, but.

682
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 9: They got to know what they're pledging to and why

683
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 9: they've done this. So our twenty four thirty six feed

684
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 9: including hopefully you will tell everybody why they love the

685
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 9: American flag, why they put it out in front of

686
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 9: the house, what the country means to them, How we're

687
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 9: going to get more people to be patriotic, because the

688
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 9: more patriotic people have, the more we're going to get

689
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 9: Republicans elected. Because we know that a lot of the

690
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 9: Democrats aren't patriotic, and you know, of course I don't

691
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 9: got the flag shirt and we know who buys them.

692
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 8: So this is fourth to lot this election.

693
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,040

718
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 1: I'll do that.

719
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 3: All right.

720
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a COO commercial break.

721
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll tell you about a new

722
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: election measure of the state of New York is looking.

723
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 2: Good enough and why it could be a big issue.

724
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 2: That's next. Welcome back, everybody.

725
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: We've got another story of dysfunction to bring you from

726
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: a blue Staten's surprise you right, this time from New

727
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: York where there's lots of difunction. State officials are looking

728
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: to join a voter data program known as ERIC. That's

729
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: short for Electronic Registration Information Center.

730
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 2: So why is it a bad idea?

731
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: Joining us now to talk about that is my good

732
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: friend AMAX and your vice president, Charles Stucklan.

733
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 2: Charles, Welcome to the show.

734
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me, John, all right.

735
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, this is amazing. Tell us about it please.

736
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 10: So yeah, no, I'm just excited to get it out

737
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 10: because it's you know, it's quite insane what's been going

738
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 10: on here in New York State. So right now, moving

739
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 10: you know along, two Assembly bills that would force the

740
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 10: state to join the ERIC system. The Electronic Registration Information

741
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 10: Center by twenty twenty six. So, for those of you

742
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 10: who are not familiar, ERIC was pitched as a way

743
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 10: to clean up voter roles by sharing DMB data between states.

744
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 10: But here's what makes this a major concern. New York

745
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 10: allows non citizens to get standard driver's licenses, and ERIC

746
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 10: doesn't verify citizenship and their verifications, so it's really a

747
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 10: dangerous combination, and it opens the door john to ineligible

748
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 10: voters to be flagged as eligible mailed registration materials funded

749
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 10: by taxpayers. And what's worse, we've actually seen this happen

750
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 10: in other states. And when you dig into why states

751
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 10: like Virginia or Wisconsin have left ERIC or filed lawsuits

752
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 10: against ERIC, we start to wonder why New York's even

753
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 10: considering adding themselves to this particular system.

754
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 3: I don't think we have to wonder. But also in

755
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: states like California, you know, we have heard about ERIC

756
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 3: for a long time, and I don't know, maybe this

757
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 3: was one of those those situations of how you know

758
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 3: the road to hell is paid with good intentions? Or

759
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 3: was it always sour? Was it always the situation where

760
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 3: it would draw on data that included people who weren't

761
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: necessarily citizens.

762
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 10: So, like in any of these other large organizations, they

763
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 10: have a great name and it sounds great. And it's

764
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 10: funny you mentioned California because ironically, California actually is not

765
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 10: one of the states that is part of ERIC, but

766
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 10: it's about to be.

767
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 4: But the biggest problem with ERIC is this.

768
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 10: It pretends to be neutral and data driven, but it's

769
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 10: neither transparent nor accountable. So it's not a government agency,

770
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 10: it's a nonprofit. It's privately run, it's shielded from fouer requests,

771
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 10: operates behind closed doors, and yet it collects sensitive voter

772
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 10: data from state governments, names, addresses, birth dates, and in

773
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 10: some cases partial social security numbers. Now, if that kind

774
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 10: of data transfer we're happening in any other context, we

775
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 10: would be demanding answers. But ERIC doesn't have to answer

776
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 10: to the public. It doesn't publish audits, it doesn't allow

777
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 10: for independent review, and even more troubling, when states raise

778
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 10: legitimate concerns, they're often dismissed as fringe or political. But

779
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 10: nine states have walked away, including a founding member like

780
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 10: Virginia that's not fringe. So it's a clear signal that

781
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 10: ERIC structure is broken and the trust that's been placed

782
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 10: in it is well, the trust has been misplaced.

783
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

784
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: And we've taken a look at a lot of the

785
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: performance of states in and out of ERIC, and it

786
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: turns out that non ERIC states are actually doing a

787
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: better job of getting people registered.

788
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 10: Right, That's a great point, John, So Yeah, in a

789
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 10: recent lawsuit in Wisconsin, it was discovered that states that

790
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 10: are not involved in ERIC are actually doing more to

791
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 10: clean up the voter roles than ones that are enrolled

792
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 10: in ERIC. And you know, it's interesting out of most

793
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 10: people don't know this when I bring it up, But

794
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 10: in the United States, people ask, Okay, you know, when

795
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 10: it comes to DMV, why does it matter you know

796
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 10: about non citizens? Most people don't know that in fifteen

797
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 10: states in the US, non citizens can actually get a

798
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 10: valid driver's license. So let me ask you, out of

799
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 10: those fifteen states that could get a valid driver's license

800
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 10: for a non citizen, how many of those do you

801
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 10: think are in ERIC. Thirteen? Wow, So there's obviously a

802
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 10: pattern going on here. And when it comes to the

803
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 10: actual evidence of non citizens being contact to the registered

804
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 10: to vote, absolutely there's evidence of it. It's not hypothetical

805
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 10: and twenty twenty two, the Colorado Secretary of State's office

806
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 10: admitted they had sent out over thirty thousand voter registration

807
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 10: mallers to non citizens. They were triggered by DMB data pull,

808
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 10: the same type of pull Eric uses in its operations,

809
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 10: and the state blamed it on a technical glitch. But

810
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 10: how often do we hear a technical glitch when it

811
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 10: comes to election integrity?

812
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 3: When you talked about all of that information that Eric

813
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 3: has access to, I'm old enough to remember, and I

814
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 3: guess you would only have to be a month old

815
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 3: to remember because it happened a month ago when Democrats

816
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 3: were going crazy about Doge having even half the stuff

817
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 3: on that list. Why are they okay with this organization

818
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,919
Speaker 3: having that information? And who runs Eric?

819
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 10: Amanda, I'm not sure most people even know so Eric

820
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 10: again is a nonprofit.

821
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 6: It's a non government agency.

822
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 10: And interestingly, the founder of Eric, David Becker, known Democrat operative.

823
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 10: Guess where he works now? He works at Seer Center

824
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 10: for Election Innovation and Research. I believe is again one

825
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 10: of those great names. That's the Zuckerbugs organization, that's the

826
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 10: twenty twenty election. So it's the same group of people

827
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 10: that are sort of moving along into these different chains

828
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 10: of NGOs. But it's not a flaw. I mean, they

829
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 10: come out here they say we're going to fix That's

830
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 10: the problem is on the surface, all of these plans

831
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 10: sound great. The voter roles are the most important part

832
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 10: of any election, but most people don't know about it,

833
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 10: which is why we're doing this. Most people don't know

834
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 10: Eric actually manages the voter roles. And the reason we're

835
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 10: so concerned is because in the actual Assembly bills, in

836
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 10: the legislation in New York in particular, it's recommended that

837
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 10: any changes that Eric suggests to the New York State

838
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 10: Board of Elections, that Board of Elections has to implement.

839
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 10: And there has not been significant research into what they're

840
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 10: going to do when it comes to sending over non citizens.

841
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 10: And let's face it, someone in New York State that's

842
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 10: not a citizen goes to the DMV gets a license,

843
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 10: there's no way for this system to be able to

844
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 10: tell if they're a non citizen or not. You start

845
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 10: adding to the roles, comes up to be a very

846
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 10: complicated problem. And I noticed earlier you had you know,

847
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 10: attorney generals on, you had Lee Eldon on, you have

848
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 10: these people that when it comes to making changes, we're

849
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 10: talking about judicial issues, local district judges making these calls.

850
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 10: How do you think they get in here? How do

851
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 10: you think they get into power? It starts at these

852
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 10: local elections.

853
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, great point. Here's a question.

854
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: There's probably millions of AMAC members out there, three million

855
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: members of AMAC out there, some of.

856
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: Them are in New York.

857
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: What can they be doing right now to try to

858
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: stop this situation in New York and then in other

859
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: states that are part of ERIC, what can they do

860
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: to maybe get out of it.

861
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 10: So we're shining a light on this issue when we're

862
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 10: trying to organize at the grassroots level to stop these

863
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 10: bills before they come lost. So for New York, when

864
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 10: the legislation was introduced to bring New York into ERIC,

865
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 10: our members move fast through AMAC action. They sent over

866
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 10: sixteen seven hundred messages to just thirty five legislators on

867
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 10: the Ways in Use Committee calling for the RAK provision

868
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 10: to be removed entirely. That's nearly four hundred and eighty

869
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 10: messages per lawmaker just in a few days. That's what

870
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 10: makes AMAC unique. Our members don't just care. They take

871
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 10: out action and we give them the platform to do

872
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 10: it quickly, effectively and with impact. So if you believe

873
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 10: in election integrity, you can actually go to AMAC dot

874
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 10: us slash just News. We're doing a one dollar for

Speaker 10: talk to legislators, AMAC is the conduit that basically will

Speaker 3: Welcome back everybody. It's our final segment of the night.

907
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 3: So let's hack through a few more topics. John and

908
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 3: video went viral in the last few days of French

909
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 3: President Emmanuel McCook taken us. Yes, oh my. They started

910
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 3: off with them being a Russian plot, and now I

911
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 3: think they have finally arrived at admitting it but saying

912
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 3: that it was just a playful argument.

913
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, we had the me too movement here. But

914
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 2: I wonder if this isn't a she too moment, is

915
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: this a.

916
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: Situation where if this turns out to be an act

917
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: of violence rather than playful. I mean, I have a

918
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: lot of fun on my web. I don't remember her

919
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: smacking me playfully in the face. Is this a moment

920
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: where talking about women attacking men becomes a social issue

921
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: or social conversation.

922
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 2: I don't know.

923
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: France is always one of my favorite places to deal

924
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: with hypocrisy. I did all the reporting on Domini's trast

925
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: con many years ago. This was a guy before me

926
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: Too that clearly had a very serious me too problem. Right,

927
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: He's sexually assaulted a maid in a New York hoteality,

928
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: tried to get away with it, and France was the

929
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: last of all the countries to come around to recognize

930
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: that their guy was culpable. You know, this is a

931
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: really important moment. I think the demand a few more facts.

932
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: Let's find out the facts. Give the first lady the

933
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: benefit of doubt, but let's find.

934
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 2: Out what happened.

935
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, entertainment topic. So last night the AMA's

936
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 3: air the American Music Awards, and there were a lot

937
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 3: of Swifties out there who apparently were upset that there

938
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 3: was not an announcement about a revamping of an album

939
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 3: that she already put out. I don't know, I don't

940
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 3: really understand it all, but the main thing was is

941
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 3: that in the sea of all the wokeness and all

942
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 3: the pandering you had Blake Shelton, who since yesterday was Veterans,

943
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 3: gave a tribute to for Memorial Day, gave a tribute

944
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 3: to our nation's veterans who had given their lives for

945
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 3: this country against the backdrop of an American flag. He

946
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 3: had an American flag pin on, and it was it was.

947
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 3: It was just really wonderful to see that in the contrast.

948
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 4: And well received and well received.

949
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 2: There you go.

950
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, that's what in a moment of

951
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: great division in this country, it's veterans who reunite us

952
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: and remind us that more unites us and divides us.

953
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: We just let the haters use the divisions to separate us.

954
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: But nothing like a flag and a veteran to remind

955
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: us that we have the greatest country in the world.

956
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 2: Still, yeah, I still believe that.

957
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 3: I put my parents on a plane this morning, as

958
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 3: you know, they were on here visiting, and they said

959
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 3: that while they were waiting on their layover, that there

960
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 3: were five veterans who had gotten off another flight and

961
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 3: the round of applause was just constant.

962
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: That honor flight that came in a month ago. I

963
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: still can't get that image out of my head. It

964
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: was just so chilling in a good way to see

965
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: Americans just celebrate greatness in this country. It was pretty fun.

966
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So, speaking of a return to sanity,

967
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: you flicked at this at the top of the show,

968
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 3: the fact that the COVID vaccine is no longer going

969
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 3: to be recommended, especially for healthy pregnant women. And this

970
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 3: is something that I have consistently heard from women my

971
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 3: age who have children or are trying to have children.

972
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 3: It's that the vaccine was always just too new, So

973
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 3: for a lot of them they refrained. But for a

974
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 3: lot of women out there who are pregnant or planned

975
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 3: to get pregnant, I think this is great news because

976
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 3: it still it's.

977
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 4: Just too new.

978
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's also too opaque.

979
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: I think the Public Health Agency has kept a lot

980
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: of information from us. They man and women handled us

981
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: and didn't let us make our own decisions. Informed consent

982
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: wasn't informed in this case because they kept certain things

983
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: from us. As Ron Johnson so eloquently told us again

984
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: on Friday Night, so yeah, this makes sense, and I

985
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: think that rfk Ron Johnson, the great team that's being

986
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: assembled at AHHS and NIH and FTA, now Mackery and

987
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: doctor Bodcharam. There's a return to common sense and something

988
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: that we started the show with, a return to science.

989
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: Science speaking, by the way, it's okay if something in

990
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: science doesn't agree with what you thought.

991
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 2: That's part of science.

992
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is now actually to follow the science and

993
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 3: not follow the manipulated data.

994
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Are you surprised by the Chrisy Pardons?

995
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 3: Not really, because I had heard a lot of legal

996
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 3: opinions about the case that suggested that it was probably

997
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 3: overblown on a number of accounts. But it did come

998
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 3: out of left wing to me. With respect to the announcement.

999
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 2: Today though, Yeah, I just came out and boom actually

1000
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 2: came out.

1001
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 3: I wonder if it was that surprising them too.

1002
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 2: It must have been the head, I guess.

1003
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, their daughter, Savannah. It was quite tearful response on

1004
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 3: the phone with him. It was really nice to war

1005
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 3: to see why the president does all right. So President

1006
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,720
Speaker 3: Trump put out a tweet this mor truth this morning

1007
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 3: regarding California. I believe it was his executive order from

1008
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 3: February fifth, banning men from women's sports. But California change

1009
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 3: the role in President Trump and his true social posts said,

1010
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 3: all right, that's it. No more federal funding, maybe permanently.

1011
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a asking California is check with Harvard. He

1012
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 2: means it, he.

1013
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 3: Does, he does Listen. I think that there is an

1014
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 3: uprising of sanity across this country. I saw a clip

1015
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 3: from a California track meet a few weeks ago with

1016
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 3: parents who were hollering from the stands that their daughters

1017
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:49,439
Speaker 3: were getting shuffled over.

1018
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 2: We've always been saying, it's just not silent anymore.

1019
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 4: Peat.

1020
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. Absolutely, courage is contagious. All right, everybody,

1021
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 3: have a wonderful night. We'll see this time tomorning.
