President Trump's One Big 34 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 4: Beautiful Bill is headed to the US Senate with the 35 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 4: goal of having that fully passed bill on the Resolute 36 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 4: Desk by Independence Day. It passed in the House this 37 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 4: week with a two hundred and fifteen to two hundred 38 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 4: and fourteen vote. The bill is a sweeping, multi trillion 39 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 4: dollar piece of legislation that answers President Trump's agenda on taxes, immigration, energy, defense, 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 4: and the national debt. It also aims to slash the 41 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 4: federal government spending by roughly one point five trillion dollars. However, 42 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 4: it also raises the debt ceiling by four trillion dollars. 43 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 4: The Trump administration says the bill, along with others, will 44 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 4: lead to an economic expansion the likes we have never seen. 45 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 4: Arizona Congressman and friend of the show Andy Biggs joins 46 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 4: us now to discuss Congressman Bigs. 47 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: Always a pleasure, sir, Thanks, Terrence. Good to be with you. 48 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 3: All right, So I want to start here. 49 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 4: You voted for this spending plan, but I'm curious if 50 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 4: you voted because it was best for the country or 51 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 4: because you really stand fully behind this bill. 52 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 5: Look, this bill was important to get out and get passed. 53 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: There's a lot of good in it. 54 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 5: There are some warts on it, so when we say 55 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 5: it's a big, beautiful bill, it has some facial blemishes 56 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 5: as well. 57 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: So let's talk about the good stuff though, Terrence. 58 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 5: I mean remember that when this started out Innuary, the 59 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 5: House was the House leadership was saying they wanted to 60 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 5: do a three hundred billion dollar reduction in spending over 61 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 5: ten years. 62 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: That's absurd, that's absurd. 63 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 5: So we've managed to get up to one point five 64 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 5: trillion dollar reduction, and there's potential to get it up 65 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 5: to two and a half trillion dollars actually, even with 66 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 5: the provisions that are in there. So there's a lot 67 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 5: of stuff in there that goes to attacking the deficit, 68 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 5: but not enough. But in the end, you had to 69 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 5: do this because there's some great things with the tax package. 70 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 5: I mean, the tax package is going to actually I 71 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 5: think provide some vitality to our economy. And so, yeah, 72 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 5: there's a lot of really really good stuff here. There's 73 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 5: some things that I found problematic, but I think this 74 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 5: was going to be overall a net positive for the country. 75 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 4: What do you say to those opponents of this bill 76 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 4: who say, but it still raises a debt ceiling. We're 77 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 4: already in too much debt and this continues that trend 78 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 4: if you will. 79 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, I say, hey, how many times have we voted 80 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 5: to not raise the debt ceiling in Congress since we've 81 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 5: had a debt ceiling for the last fifty years? Actually 82 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 5: every time Congress votes to lift the debt ceiling? And 83 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 5: so I actually started saying this last December. Is the 84 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 5: debt ceiling actually now appears to be irrelevant because we 85 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 5: have plenty of revenue. But it's a spending problem, Terrence 86 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 5: in my mind. And so if you want to reduce 87 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 5: the debt load, then reduce the federal spending. 88 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 4: Do you see any way to make up for the 89 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 4: money that's being lost. I hear you loud and clear, 90 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 4: and I think most reasonable Americans agree. Congress is spending 91 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 4: too much. The federal government is spending too much. But 92 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 4: how can we make up for that, particularly with this 93 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 4: current bill where we're still going to have significant spending 94 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 4: for military and other things. How can we make up 95 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 4: the shortfall? 96 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 5: Well, you're going to have to actually reduce spending. I mean, 97 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 5: that's just the bottom line. You're going to have to 98 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 5: do that, and you're going to have to either going 99 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 5: to have the markets force it on you, or you're 100 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 5: going to do it yourself in a way that you 101 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 5: can live with and kind of draw it down from. 102 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 5: So that's where it's gonna have to be. 103 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 2: Ultimately, Ultimately, we just spend too much money. 104 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 5: Because if you raise taxes, we know that that actually 105 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 5: decreases federal tax revenue. 106 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 2: You'll have a short term bump. 107 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 5: That's the way it always works in taxes because people 108 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 5: haven't figured workarounds yet. But once they figure the workarounds now, 109 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 5: then you have reduced tax tax revenue. 110 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: So you're going to have to reduce spending. And so 111 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: here's some ways. 112 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: You do it. 113 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 5: You're gonna have to do it also, not just on 114 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 5: the mandatory side, which is what the Beautiful Bill does. 115 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 2: Because it's a reconciliation bill that focuses. 116 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 5: On mandatory You're gonna have to do a doge put 117 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 5: in there and. 118 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 2: Get those This is one of those things where I. 119 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 5: Said, in my mind, we should have been and what 120 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 5: I've been arguing for is you should have been doing 121 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 5: in tandem with the big beautiful Bill or the Reconciliabs, 122 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 5: whatever you want to call the Reconciliation Bill the same 123 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 5: time you're doing that, have been doing the dose spending 124 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 5: cuts all along, and that would that would actually have 125 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 5: been the spending curve down a little bit more in 126 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 5: my opinion. 127 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 4: Okay, Congressman, I'm curious if you've had any conversations with 128 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: your colleague on the House Freedom Caucus, Andy Harris. He 129 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 4: of course simply voted president and he was one of 130 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 4: the people that publicly, I guess, criticized the Billain was 131 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 4: to some degree against it. Have you had any conversations 132 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 4: with him about his decision? 133 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, And I'm not gonna you're gonna have to ask 134 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 5: him how he got to his decision, Terrence. I'm not 135 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 5: going to reveal a private conversation. But I will say 136 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 5: this what happened in the last meeting, and I don't 137 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 5: I wasn't there, but there were there were some more 138 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 5: additional steps that positive steps that came out of that 139 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 5: last meeting with the President and and the White House team, 140 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 5: and that included you know, uh, they're they're going to 141 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 5: take some executive action. And quite frankly, since Congress is 142 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 5: not you and I've been discussing not fully able to 143 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 5: actually bend down the arc as much as a nies 144 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 5: to go down, it's going to take some of the 145 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 5: executive action to come forward. 146 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: So I think there's some positive stuff there. 147 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 5: But if you really want to get to it with Andy, 148 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 5: you're gonna have to ask Chairman Harris yourself, Terrence, because 149 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 5: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna reveal that Congressman. 150 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: That's fair. 151 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 4: That's fair. I had to ask, But that's fair. I 152 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 4: fully understand that, and I appreciate your diplomacy. A final 153 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 4: question on this issue before we move on. Obviously, the 154 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 4: next step is for the Senate to debate this bill 155 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 4: and they will send you, guys back something. How different 156 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 4: are you expecting what you get back from the Senate 157 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 4: to be from what you and your colleagues in the 158 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 4: House past. 159 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 5: Well, on the one hand, they're publicly saying I mean, 160 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 5: so you got Lindsay Graham saying publicly that he thinks 161 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 5: the House didn't didn't cut enough spending. Well, okay, then 162 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 5: do it, lindsay take it down. Then you have some 163 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 5: folks and Ron Johnson has said that publicly too. Then 164 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 5: you have some folks like Murkowski and Collins that think 165 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 5: it was too draconian in some areas. You know, Well, 166 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 5: I got to tell you in the end, it wouldn't 167 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 5: surprise me if it looks very similar to what the 168 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 5: Senate gets in spite of the public declarations otherwise. And 169 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 5: why is that is because you can futts around with this, 170 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 5: mess around with this, but you're going to find out 171 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 5: that it's really hard to get some of that stuff 172 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 5: done beyond where the House went. I will say this, 173 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 5: and this is the where I am, and I'm being 174 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 5: honest with you. I hope they knock out the salt provisions. 175 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 5: The Salt provisions is that's a three hundred and fifty 176 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 5: billion dollar provision of spending over ten years. I never 177 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 5: liked it. I don't like the salt provision at all. 178 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: But we'll see how that goes. 179 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 5: But don't be surprised, Terrence, if it looks somewhat similar 180 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 5: to the base is going to certainly look similar as 181 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 5: it came out of the House. 182 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: Huh. 183 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 4: That State and local tax provision. That's something that at 184 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 4: one point, even in the House had been a stumbling block. 185 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 4: So it's interesting to see, or will be interesting to 186 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 4: see how the Senate deals with that. Before I let 187 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 4: you go, one of the things happening today US negotiators 188 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 4: are in Rome. They're negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran. Obviously, 189 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 4: this is something that potentially could impact the entire region 190 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 4: there in the Middle East, but also globally. Where do 191 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 4: you stand on this and what are you hearing? First 192 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 4: of all, I guess if you're hearing anything. And beyond that, 193 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: it seems that the options are Iran has no nuclears 194 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 4: capability at all, or Iran doesn't enrich uranium. 195 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 3: Is there a red line here for you? 196 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 5: Well, I won't say I've got a red line, but 197 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 5: what I will tell you is this, they should never 198 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 5: get nukes, and I don't think they should get access to. 199 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: Your enriched uranium. Either those two things. 200 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 5: Seem to me that until you actually have tested them 201 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 5: out and they become what I would call a normalized 202 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 5: nation state, to allow them to have enriched uranium, which. 203 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: Can be converted very quickly to. 204 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 5: Bad intentions, bad results, I wouldn't give them either one. 205 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 5: And I know Ron's basically they're saying redline is is 206 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 5: enriched uranium. They want enriched uranium. Well, I want to 207 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 5: know why you want that enriched uranium. And then additionally, 208 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 5: you're going to have to make sure that you have 209 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 5: a lot of. 210 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 2: Scrupulous non. 211 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 5: You're gonna have to have people that just will cannot 212 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 5: be bought off ever going in there to examining and 213 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 5: having access full access to Iran. And I don't know 214 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 5: where they're going to go on that, but definitely I 215 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 5: wouldn't give I would not allow nukes. 216 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 2: And I wouldn't allow enriched uranium. 217 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 4: What's your sense will a deal get done or will 218 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 4: this be a whole lot of talking and ultimately we 219 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 4: don't have anything, We'll have to intervene some other way. 220 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 5: Well, I hope that this actually gets done in a 221 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 5: positive manner. I know that Ron's taken a tough position. 222 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 5: I think that's the good negotiating position for them. But 223 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 5: we should also take out a very strong, strict position 224 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 5: and then we should pull them our way. If they 225 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 5: really want a resolution of this, then they're going to 226 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 5: have to give up some things that they don't want 227 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 5: to give up. 228 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 2: And quite frankly, we hold the upper hand here. 229 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 5: I hate seeing stuff happen to the person on the 230 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 5: street in Iran. 231 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 2: I think we have a lot of our friends in 232 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 2: Iran on the street. 233 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 5: I'm not talking about the radical of islamis to go 234 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 5: out and chant, you know, death to America and all 235 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 5: that type of thing. I'm talking about, you know, the 236 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 5: old Persian folks that respect their Persian heritage and review 237 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 5: and view themselves as a legitimate nation state. In order 238 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 5: to get there, we have got to make sure that 239 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 5: we don't give into this regime with some of their 240 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 5: bad intentions. 241 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 4: Representative Andy Biggs, always a pleasure to talk to you. 242 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 4: We appreciate your perspective. 243 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: Hey, thanks, Terrence, good to be with you. 244 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 4: All right, have a great weekend coming up, Folks going 245 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 4: inside the Golden Dome. Following President Trump's plans for an 246 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 4: American missile defense system, both China and Canada are responding. 247 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 3: They're mixed reactions ahead. 248 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 4: Welcome back to America's Voice Live. We appreciate you being 249 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 4: here with us. President Trump will be departing the White 250 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 4: House here in short order. In the meantime, he is 251 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 4: out with plans for the Golden Dome Missile Defense System. 252 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 4: It's a one hundred and seventy five billion dollar project 253 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 4: that's made up of advanced satellites that would detect, track, 254 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 4: and intercept incoming missiles. The President named US Space Force 255 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 4: General aus Face Horse General Michael Gutlin to head up 256 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 4: the program, in what many consider to be the cornerstone 257 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 4: of President Trump's military plan. President also added that Canada 258 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 4: has said it would like to be part. 259 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 3: Of the initiative. 260 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 4: China, on the other hand, responding to the announcement, saying 261 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 4: the initiative is of a quote strong offensive nature and 262 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 4: a violation of the principle of peaceful Use in the 263 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 4: Outer Space Treaty the Trump administration, are you such a 264 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 4: defense system would protect America despite what other countries are 265 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 4: trying to say? Here with me now to discuss his 266 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 4: former Defense intelligence agent Ivan Ray glinn Ivan, good morning 267 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 4: or good afternoon. 268 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: I guess it technically is. 269 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, good afternoon, Terrence. 270 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. 271 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 4: It's good to have you, because I think this is 272 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 4: such a fascinating issue. First of all, the fact that 273 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 4: the President is out with this plan. Does this speak 274 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 4: to the fact that we are under a greater threat 275 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 4: from some sort of missile attack, particularly with Iran and 276 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 4: countries like that having ICBMs that potentially could reach the 277 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 4: United States. 278 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. 279 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 7: Absolutely. 280 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 6: I plawed President Trump for actually leaning forward, just like 281 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 6: he did with the space for the creation of the 282 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 6: Space Force during his first term. This is I think 283 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 6: an extension essentially effectuating what he wanted to create with 284 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 6: the Space Force. Because at the end of the day, 285 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 6: the two biggest strategic or geopolitical competitors on the global 286 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 6: stage or China and the United States. This is another 287 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 6: indication that we're reasserting not only our regional power are 288 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 6: but also our global power against the Chinese Communist Party. 289 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 6: And it's you mentioned earlier that the Chinese are the 290 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 6: ones that are rejecting and pushing back the most already 291 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 6: so quickly against President Trump's intent in order to be 292 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 6: able to provide for the common defense, you know, the 293 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 6: US Constitution, you know the principal reason that we have 294 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 6: a federal government, in my opinion, is to provide for 295 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 6: the common defense of the nation and the states, you know, 296 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 6: the people in the States. And this is the clearest 297 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 6: indication with today's technology that we need to create a 298 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 6: mechanism under the Department of Defense and Space Force Space 299 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 6: comm to be able to protect the nation and its citizens. 300 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 3: How long we're creating a golden dome? 301 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 4: Take Obviously Israel has the Iron Dome, which I guess 302 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 4: is kind of the blueprint. But how long we're creating 303 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 4: a golden dome take here in the United States. Doesn't 304 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 4: seem to be something quick, No, I. 305 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 6: Mean, some of the capability is already there. There's a 306 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 6: what's called the North American NORAD, which is based out 307 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 6: of Colorado, and that's an agreement. Before that, it was 308 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 6: a bilateral agreement with Canada and the United States. Depending 309 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 6: on how the negotiations go with the Canadians, that appears 310 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 6: as though initial response is that the Canadians aren't as 311 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 6: amenable to this particular extension, if you will, of nora 312 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 6: AD in the defense of North America. I still think 313 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 6: that although we do have some of the capabilities in place, now, 314 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 6: we also have to create capabilities that will counter some 315 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 6: of these hypersonic threats, namely from China as well as 316 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 6: potentially Russia. Also, artificial intelligence is being infused in every 317 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 6: single technology that we have in today's world with the 318 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 6: technological environment that we sin in right now, and so 319 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 6: not only will we have to create sensors that can 320 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 6: withstand and be as quick as the AI that is 321 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 6: being deployed by potentially Chinese and Russian physical threats capabilities, 322 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 6: whether it's intercontinental ballistic missiles and whatnot. We have to 323 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 6: have both the software and the hardware to be able 324 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 6: to provide that defense. And I would I would think 325 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 6: that there are some companies out there, not only the 326 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 6: incumbent traditional companies out there that are in a position 327 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 6: to provide that defense, but I would suspect that some 328 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 6: of the newer ones that have advanced technology not only 329 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 6: an AI but also computer vision, namely you know some 330 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 6: of the for example, Tesla has advanced computer vision and 331 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 6: some other companies that might want to participate in the 332 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 6: defense and provide that common defense. 333 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: For the country. 334 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 4: How concerned should we be about China raising sand and 335 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 4: more importantly trying to come up with technology to potentially 336 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 4: counteract or counter this Golden dome. 337 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 6: Now, China does have quite the capability for what's called 338 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 6: anti satellite missiles, right, so well, part of that ecosystem 339 00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 6: and constellation of defense requires the require I'm not sure 340 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 6: if the connection broke off, but it requires a different 341 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 6: kind of not only satellites, but also, like I said, 342 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 6: computer vision, and China is in the best position to 343 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 6: be able to counter that. And I mean it comes 344 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 6: down to geopolitical and strategic competition. So if we have 345 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 6: a capability, then we can provide that common defense through 346 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 6: the you know, President Trump has always said peace through strength, 347 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 6: so if we have the largest capability, we can provide 348 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 6: that piece. 349 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 4: All right, we'll have to leave the conversation there. Ivan Raklin, 350 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 4: we appreciate your time. 351 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 3: Thanks so much for your expertise. Very interesting conversation. 352 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 2: I appreciate it. I like the haircut as well. 353 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 4: Well, you know, ball guys, we rock activate, right, you 354 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 4: know what, forget that. I said, We're going to end 355 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 4: the conversation because you're bald. We're going to take the 356 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 4: rest of the hour. 357 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 3: Are you and me? My friend? No, I gotta go free. 358 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 2: Safe to be here appreciate. 359 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 3: Take care well, folks. I'm going to take a quick 360 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 3: break when we come back. 361 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 4: President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Department 362 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 4: of Education upon entering office. Now a US District Court 363 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 4: judge is blocking the administration's attempt saying that congressional approval 364 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 4: is needed. We've got details on that when we come back. 365 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 4: Welcome back to America's Voice Live and look at Washington, 366 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 4: d C. Here truly is a beautiful city, even though 367 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 4: we often call it the swamp. President Trump signed an 368 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 4: executive order assigning the US Secretary of Education to take 369 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 4: all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the department. 370 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 3: Just this week, US. 371 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 4: District Court Judge Young John blocked the administration from carrying 372 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 4: out that order, saying that congressional approval was needed to 373 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 4: dismantle the department. In addition to blocking the firings of 374 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 4: department employees, the judge's order also bars the Department of 375 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 4: Education from transferring its functions to other agencies. Judge John's 376 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 4: order also requires the department to reinstate employees terminated since 377 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 4: President Trump's inauguration. The question on everyone's mind now is 378 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 4: can this district level judge block the President of the 379 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 4: United States is executive order. Let's see if we can 380 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 4: get an answer now to that question. Senior legal fellow 381 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 4: at the Heritage Foundation, Zach Smith, joining us this morning. Zach, 382 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 4: good to see you, well, good to. 383 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 8: Be on the show this afternoon. Thanks so much for 384 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 8: having me on. 385 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 4: Absolutely, So let's start with the basic premise of that question. 386 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 3: Can a district court. 387 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 4: Judge block a president's executive order? We're seeing it happen, 388 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 4: but is it legal? Is it any way legally justifiable? 389 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 8: Well, look, Karen's unfortunately, what I think we've seen happening 390 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 8: time and time again is federal district court judges taking 391 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 8: a very broad scope of their own authority and essentially 392 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 8: deciding for themselves to try to run the executive branch. 393 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 8: And so the question we're confronted with as the American 394 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 8: people is who do we want running the executive branch 395 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 8: of government. Do we want these unelected judges issuing these 396 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 8: very broad injunctions, these very broad orders, imposing their own 397 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 8: views of how to run the executive branch? Or do 398 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 8: we want the duly elected president of the United States 399 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 8: to be able to carry out the policies that he 400 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 8: campaigned on and pledged to fulfill once in office, and unfortunately, 401 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 8: I think we've seen time and time again many of 402 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 8: these judges starming those efforts by the president to enact 403 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 8: the promises that he campaigned on. 404 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 4: This is an issue that the Supreme Court is likely 405 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 4: going to have to decide, and it seems to me 406 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: that as part of the Birthright Citizens' Executive Order, that's 407 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 4: one of the issues that ultimately might might be clarified 408 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 4: in the Supreme Court's ruling. 409 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 3: Am I off base there? 410 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 8: No, you're not off base there. In fact, if you 411 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 8: listen to the oral arguments in that birthright citizenship case 412 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 8: last week, the bulk of the arguments is going to 413 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 8: focus on the underlying merits of the birthright citizenship claim. 414 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 8: The bulk of the arguments focused on the very technical, 415 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 8: but very important issue of whether a loan federal district 416 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 8: court judge can issue a so called nationwide injunction. Think 417 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 8: about it for a minute. We have over six hundred 418 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 8: and eighty federal district court judges sitting around the country today, 419 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 8: and at any time, any one of those judges, if 420 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 8: you believe in nationwide in junctions, can issue in order 421 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 8: to the President of the United States not to take 422 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 8: or to take certain actions against certain people at certain times, 423 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 8: at certain places anywhere in the country. 424 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 3: This is a very. 425 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 8: Broad power that's been unknown for most of our nation's history, 426 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 8: and frankly, it's a broad power that would horrify the 427 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 8: frames of our constitution. And so the Supreme Court is 428 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 8: certainly going to have to address this issue. I suspect 429 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 8: you also see Congress Chuck Grassley and Mike Lee others 430 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 8: have said they are going to take legislative action to 431 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 8: try to reign in this judicial overreach. So stay tuned. 432 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 8: I think we're just starting to hear the beginning of 433 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 8: this very important conversation. 434 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 4: What's your sense on how the High Court might ultimately 435 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 4: the justices might ultimately rule on this issue of district 436 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 4: courts and trying to influence their broad trying to broadly 437 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 4: influence policy. 438 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I always skeptical to read the tea leaves. 439 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 8: I joke, my crystal ball is broken more often than not. 440 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 8: But I will say, if you look, the Supreme Court 441 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 8: recently has stepped in and has struck down or paused 442 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 8: several of these nationwide injunctions that have been issued against 443 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 8: the President, and so we see the Supreme Court focusing 444 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 8: more and more on this issue. Clearly, the Justices know 445 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 8: this is a very important issue that they're going to 446 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 8: have their address, and we've certainly heard from some of 447 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 8: the justices, particularly Justice Clarence Thomas, who appeared to be 448 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 8: very skeptical of the ability of a single federal District 449 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 8: Court judge to issue these very broad nationwide adjunctions. 450 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 4: Well, Zach, once the Supreme Court comes back with its ruling, 451 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 4: I'm going to invite you back and we're going to 452 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 4: have this conversation to see if your tea leaves did 453 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 4: in fact lineup and if your crystal ball was fixed 454 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 4: by then. 455 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: Always good to talk to you, my friend. Enjoy your weekend, 456 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 3: great being on the show. 457 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 8: Thanks for having me on. 458 00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 3: Good to have you well, folks. 459 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 4: It's it's a new day in America and a new 460 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 4: administration in Washington, d C. There's a lot of excitement 461 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 4: and optimism about the future, but the reality is there's 462 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 4: a lot of work to be done, especially when it 463 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 4: comes to fixing our broken healthcare system. The truth is, 464 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 4: the forces that are responsible for breaking our healthcare system 465 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 4: aren't going to simply go away. The challenge is that 466 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 4: our system faces won't disappear overnight, and now more than ever, 467 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 4: you really need to be prepared.

Welcome back to Central Park, 492 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 4: New York. Here, gorgeous area there. The Department of Justice, 493 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 4: heralded by Attorney General Pambondi, has made a major move 494 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 4: as she has called for grants to allocate funds away 495 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 4: from d the initiatives and into law enforcement development instead. 496 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 4: This revelation came after Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley 497 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 4: asked for details about the DOJ's Grant Review, Assessment and 498 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 4: Appeal program. Grassy was also informed of various instances where 499 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 4: grants were allocated to DEI based programs during the Biden era, 500 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 4: including a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars grant that 501 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 4: went to teaching inmates in prison about transgenderism. 502 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 3: In the Washington State Department of Corrections. 503 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 4: The actions demonstrated by Attorney General Pam Bondi and redirecting 504 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 4: these funds that are a step in the right direction 505 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 4: according to a lot of people, and now those funds 506 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 4: can go into something tangible. Here with me to discuss 507 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 4: his TPUSA contributor Stephen Davis, the magahak always good to 508 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 4: see you, my friend. 509 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: All with a pleasure.

We're 515 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 9: not doing this, you know, especially with DEI, this top 516 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 9: down imposition and this DEI dictatorship that showcases preferential treatment 517 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 9: based on race, and based on gender, and based on 518 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 9: a person's disability. 519 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: We're not doing any that anymore. 520 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 9: This is so antithetical to our countries founding and to 521 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 9: the success of a person and to the flourishing of 522 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,719 Speaker 9: our country. We need to get away from, especially with 523 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 9: this transgender crazy that the Biden administration has been putting 524 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 9: forth to the American people. This is so antathetical to 525 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 9: what we want. So when it comes to the Trump administration, 526 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 9: just saying look, we listen to the American people. We're 527 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 9: going to do the will of the American people, which 528 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,479 Speaker 9: is putting the funds into things that are in our 529 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 9: country's best interests, like our law enforcement officers, like law 530 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 9: and order, like things that actually add to the safety 531 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 9: and security of our nation and not the downfall of 532 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 9: our nation. So I think the message is clear. Promise 533 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 9: has made, Promise is kept when it comes to this administration, 534 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 9: And it seems. 535 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 4: To me there's an argument that can be made by 536 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 4: putting this money back into communities and law enforcement. Otherwise 537 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 4: you're still serving the communities, You're still serving all. 538 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 9: People, absolutely, and that needs to be the message. And 539 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 9: we're still doing what's best for the American people. We're 540 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 9: actually serving the American people as we should, not different identities, 541 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 9: not playing the identity politic game, but actually serving the. 542 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: Whole of America, the United States of America. 543 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 9: And that's what we're supposed to do in the first place, 544 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 9: and that's what our administrations are supposed to be doing, 545 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 9: not just when it comes to the right, but when 546 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 9: it comes to all administrations. We're supposed to serve the 547 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 9: will of the people, helping out Americans, put in America first, 548 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 9: that's all, that's it. But when it comes to the left, 549 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 9: they send the put forth an identity politic message that 550 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 9: you have to be the right identity, the right skin color, 551 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 9: the right race, the right you know, status or LGBTQ 552 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 9: status to get such funding. And I think that it's 553 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 9: so apathetical to what it is that we're supposed to 554 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 9: do as a country. 555 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 4: And you know, there's an argument from some on the 556 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 4: left in particular, that these funds were going to level 557 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 4: the playing field. You often hear that term leveling the 558 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 4: playing field, and really there are a lot of people 559 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 4: who are Okay, I see your reaction to that argument, 560 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 4: so go ahead. 561 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 3: I'll let you. 562 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 4: Respond to that argument before I even continue my question. 563 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 3: I saw the reactions, so go ahead. 564 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 9: It's actually is a great quote by Frederick Douglass. It's 565 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 9: a little bit longer quote, but he says, the question 566 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 9: has been asked, what shall we do with the negro? 567 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 9: I have that, but one answers the beginning, do nothing 568 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 9: with us. You're doing has already played the mischief with us. 569 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 9: Do nothing with us. If the apple will not remain 570 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 9: on a tree of its own strength, if it is 571 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 9: word eaten to the core, if it is early ripe 572 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 9: and disposed to. 573 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: Fall, then let it fall. 574 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 9: I'm not for tying or fasten into the tree and 575 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 9: by any way except by nature's plan. And if it 576 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 9: will not remain there, then let it fall. And if 577 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 9: the negro can I stand on his own legs, then 578 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 9: let him fall. 579 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: Also. 580 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 9: All I ask is that you give him a chance 581 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 9: to stand on his own legs. Let him alone. And 582 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 9: this gets to the core of what it is that 583 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 9: we're supposed to do as the United States of America. 584 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: As Americans. This is not about de I you didn't say. 585 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 9: This is all about group self development, not DEI development, 586 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 9: not affirmative action development, not uh, you know, welfare development, 587 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 9: but group self development. We have to do for ourselves 588 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 9: and not worry about and wait for the federal government 589 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 9: to come and rescue us and give us these opportunities. 590 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 9: We have to give ourselves these opportunities. And this is 591 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 9: things that Frederick Douglass talked about. This is things that 592 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 9: our founding fathers talked about. And we have to get 593 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 9: back to that and stop worrying on the and waiting 594 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 9: on the federal government to come and swoop in like 595 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 9: superman and rescue us from all of our ills and 596 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 9: give us an opportunity. 597 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: We make our own opportunities here in our country. 598 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 4: At the heart of what you're saying is self empowerment, 599 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 4: which was a civil rights it was a person in 600 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 4: the civil rights. 601 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 9: Now absolutely, that was the whole essence of it. This 602 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,239 Speaker 9: is what we're supposed to do for ourselves. What can 603 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 9: we do for ourselves? And all this, these these programs, 604 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 9: all they do. And this is something that I've heard 605 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 9: once before, someone say, you know, these these people, these 606 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 9: race baters and race hustlers. 607 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: They try to turn us. 608 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 9: They have turned, especially the black community, from a trying 609 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 9: race into a crying race. And we just sit here 610 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 9: and focus on grievance and focus on what we don't have, 611 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 9: and focus on the fact that this person has. This 612 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 9: it's all based on NB It's all based on discontentment. 613 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: This is the whole essence of Marxism. 614 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 9: But what it is that they try to employ within 615 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 9: the United States of America to get us discontent and 616 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 9: we need to get back to a meritocracy, which is 617 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 9: all about us earning our keep. This is something that 618 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 9: Booker T. Washington talked about, a lot of our founding 619 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 9: fathers talked about. This is the essence of our country. 620 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 9: We need to get back to that. 621 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 4: Well, Steven, I only expect you to be trying because 622 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 4: you too big to be crying. 623 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 3: I appreciate to be here.

I'm finally getting to play the 718 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 11: characters that I always wanted to play. I aways wanted 719 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 11: to play the John Wayne guy. I always wanted to 720 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 11: play the Paul Newman types of characters. But I couldn't 721 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 11: because I won't kiss another woman. The only woman I 722 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 11: will kiss in life is my wife. So who did 723 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 11: we cast to play my wife in this film? But 724 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 11: none other than my wife, Revey.

I knew at that moment 727 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 11: I'm the hero in a major motion picture and I 728 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 11: get to do the I finally get to kiss the 729 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 11: woman in the end, and that one was my wife, Revey, 730 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 11: So I got to do it on my terms finally. 731 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 11: And it took a long time to get here. Trust me, 732 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 11: that's thirty plus years of being in this industry of 733 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 11: figuring out how to get where I wanted to go, 734 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 11: and now I'm there, and it's just an incredible feeling. 735 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 11: And I'm so blessed and thank God every day for 736 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 11: the for the opportunity to be where I am, who 737 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 11: I am, and what I've achieved alongside my wife. 738 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 10: Interested you in this bull riding plot, Neil, You've done 739 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 10: a fair amount of work in westerns, but this is 740 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 10: a plot that requires some serious physical ability. So what 741 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 10: got you interested in and what type of training was 742 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 10: required for it? 743 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 11: Well, the idea came to me when I was doing 744 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 11: the Warrant Part two and I was away from Reveine 745 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 11: and the kids, and I thought, you know, I really 746 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 11: missed Revey. But what would ever happen if something happened 747 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 11: to Revey? And I pulled over to the side of 748 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 11: the road, it just it just kind of buckled me 749 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 11: and I saw some horses out there, and I'm fairly 750 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 11: certain God put this idea in my head. Write a 751 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 11: movie about what you just said, Rocky on a bowl 752 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 11: about an age rodeo star who has to go back, 753 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 11: who lost his wife because of certain things. And I 754 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 11: won't come into the story too much, but that's how 755 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 11: it all came about. And for the training for the film, yeah, 756 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 11: I trained my butt off, you know, I was. I 757 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 11: went on this certain diet for several months. I started 758 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 11: with this new company that that really got me into 759 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 11: shape called Flip My Life. And now I'm the spokesman 760 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 11: for I believed in it so much as I need 761 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 11: to be the spokesman because this is a problem that 762 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 11: actually works. And I've tried so many different products. But 763 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 11: when you see me in the film, I'm shredded, you know, 764 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 11: the fifty eight year old guy you shredded in a movie. 765 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 11: No drugs, none of this stuff. It was just hard 766 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 11: work and Flip my Life, so it was it was great. 767 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 11: And then to train on the on the mechanical bowls 768 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 11: with you know, Buddy Joe Hooker who was a trainer 769 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 11: on the film, who was the stunt coordinator. He pushed 770 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 11: me and they all pushed me to be in the 771 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 11: best shape that I could possibly be in, and I 772 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 11: loved it. 773 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 7: You know, I'm a knucklehead when it comes. 774 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 11: To training, and you know, being an athlete as I 775 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 11: was when I was younger in hockey and baseball. This 776 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,439 Speaker 11: was just I love this stuff that I love doing 777 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 11: my own stunts. I love getting whooped and they certainly 778 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 11: whipped me a lot in the Last Rodeo. 779 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,800 Speaker 10: Well, I was fortunate enough to see an advanced copy 780 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 10: of this film that audiences will get to see. And 781 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 10: you know, family is a central theme of the Last 782 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 10: Rodeo and I personally, Neil had an estranged relationship with 783 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 10: my father that I was able to reconcile, and your 784 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,800 Speaker 10: character is also able to heal old wounds with his daughter. 785 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,439 Speaker 10: So many people battle, you know, with broken families through 786 00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 10: no fault of their own. But do you think that 787 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 10: stories like this can provide maybe a template for how 788 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,360 Speaker 10: to overcome these fractures. 789 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 11: Yeah, People saying are you making faith based films? In 790 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 11: Ravan and I both say no, we're not making faith 791 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 11: based films. We're making films that give glory to God, 792 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 11: for sure, but we want Christians to uose agnostics, Muslims 793 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 11: anybody to come to the film and say, Oh, if 794 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 11: that guy can get through that situation, why can't I? 795 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 11: And hopefully, as corny as that sounds, when you see 796 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 11: a really great movie, it changes you. You see great television, 797 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 11: it changes you. And Hollywood has gotten away from the 798 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 11: positivity side. They've been just a lot of negative stuff going. 799 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 11: We decided to make a switch on that, and with 800 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 11: Angel Studios as our distributor, they have absolute faith in 801 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 11: what we're doing with the McDonough company and making films 802 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 11: that actually talk to families, talk about real issues and 803 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 11: how you can possibly get through them by watching these characters. 804 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 7: And it's awesome. 805 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 11: It's something I'm just immensely proud of and I can't 806 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 11: wait to see where this goes with the Last Rodeo 807 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 11: and where the McDonald company goes thereafter with Angel Studios. 808 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,359 Speaker 10: Well, you mentioned Hollywood, Neil, You've said that when you 809 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 10: saw some of the breakdowns for this year of what 810 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 10: the major studios wanted, that four or five of them 811 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,759 Speaker 10: at about ten said they wanted more faith content. And 812 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 10: that's an absolute rarity. 813 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: I know, it shocked you. 814 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 10: We've even seen this in the streaming world currently with 815 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 10: House of David on Prime. What has caused this change 816 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,720 Speaker 10: in what the studios are wanting to produce? 817 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 11: I think the Heartland of America by going out supporting 818 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,720 Speaker 11: films like like Home said we shot for five million 819 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 11: dollars just past twenty five million. 820 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 7: Dollars in the box office. That's crazy. And why is that? 821 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 11: Because families want to go to the theater together, not 822 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 11: just mom and dad. 823 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 7: The kids go to a different movie. 824 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 11: Kids don't want to go to certain movies because it's 825 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 11: to advance or to goofy or whatever the case is. 826 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 11: These are movies that everyone can go and watch and 827 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 11: learn from, So we keep writing and creating films at 828 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,280 Speaker 11: the heartland of America will go to as a group 829 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 11: and watch. 830 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 7: A film together. 831 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,399 Speaker 11: Then after the film you go have an ice cream 832 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 11: with your whole family, say, Okay, what'd you think of this? 833 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 7: What do you think of that? How can we get 834 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 7: through these problems? 835 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 11: Oh boy, I could do a little bit better at 836 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 11: that than than what I'm doing right now. Or I 837 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 11: could drink a little bit less, or I could fight 838 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 11: a little bit less or make it less about myself. 839 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 11: And when you see characters who actually struggle, characters who 840 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 11: really struggle, and get through it in the end with faith. 841 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 11: That's where we're writing, and that's where we're creating. And 842 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 11: I think the heartland of America just wants to see 843 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 11: more of that, and we're going to keep giving it 844 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 11: to him because they're asking for it. And I think 845 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,919 Speaker 11: that Hollywood is finally listening to the heartland of America saying, 846 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 11: you know what. I think they're right, we need to 847 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 11: start making more positivity. 848 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 4: We'll have more of Bo's interview with Neil McDonough after 849 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 4: this short break, plus President Trump set to leave the 850 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,760 Speaker 4: White House here in short order. The moment that happens, 851 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 4: we'll try to take you there live. Stick around if 852 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 4: there's a look at President Trump getting ready to board 853 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 4: Marine one headed to Bedminster, New Jersey. He's going to 854 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 4: spend the weekend in New Jersey, but he'll also be 855 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 4: speaking at the graduation there at West Point. He'll be 856 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 4: addressing the cadets there at the United States Military Academy 857 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 4: at west Point. That will happen tomorrow, but he'll spend 858 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 4: the night at his golf course there in Bedminster, New Jersey, 859 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 4: in route to West Point. Again, you see the President 860 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 4: or just saw him board board Marine one, he'll go 861 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 4: over to Andrews Air Force Base and then Joint Base 862 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 4: Andrews is what it's called these days, and then he'll 863 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 4: make his way on to Air Force One to go 864 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 4: to Bedminster. We, of course, will continue to. 865 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 3: Cover all of this. 866 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 4: We'll also have live coverage tomorrow as the President speaks 867 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 4: and addresses the cadets at the United States Military Academy. 868 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 4: All right, let's get you back to that interview that 869 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 4: we were talking about just a little while ago. Bo 870 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 4: Davidson's interview with actor Neil McDonough about Neil McDonough's new 871 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 4: movie The Last Rodeo. 872 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:38,720 Speaker 1: Faith Forward. 873 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 10: Content is now no longer just a niche genre relegated 874 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 10: to conservative people, but actually a storytelling mechanism that is 875 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 10: both inspirational and profitable. 876 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 11: Profitable for sure. I mean, these films are doing so 877 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 11: very well. Look at the Kendrick brothers you have done. 878 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 11: Look what the Erwin brothers have done. You know Dallas 879 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 11: Jenkins's Last Christmas Movie. You know that costs under ten 880 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:00,879 Speaker 11: million dollars to make it, and that made thirty million 881 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 11: dollars in the box office. 882 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 7: Those are big numbers. 883 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 11: They may not seem huge, but you look at well, 884 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 11: a Marvel film makes two hundred million dollars in the 885 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 11: box office. Yeah, well, they paid three hundred dollars to 886 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:16,320 Speaker 11: make it. So we're making smaller films. The independent world 887 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 11: has really done well by these types of films, but 888 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 11: now the studios are thinking, wait a second, I think 889 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 11: we need to start making some films like this if 890 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 11: you want to turn profits. For me, it's not so 891 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 11: much about turning profits. It's about making great stories for 892 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 11: people to be entertained by. And if you can have 893 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 11: a faith backdrop, if you can talk about God and 894 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 11: you talk about those issues, so I forget. You know, 895 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,760 Speaker 11: our country is built on faith. Our country, our decularies, 896 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 11: that of independence, has God mentioned in it four times. 897 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 11: Was watching the President's speech the other night, right behind him. 898 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 11: It says in God we trust, and I think we 899 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 11: need to trust more in Him and worry less about 900 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 11: ourselves and family first, me second, God first, me second. 901 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,720 Speaker 11: These are the tenets that built America and we're building 902 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:57,720 Speaker 11: upon that in our films. 903 00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 10: Yeah, Faith, family, and freedom. Those are the three f 904 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 10: that all seem to be eternal. You mentioned earlier, but 905 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 10: you've also started this production company with your wife called 906 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 10: the mcdone a company. This is surely really exciting for you, 907 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 10: and I'm just curious what kind of content and stories 908 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 10: you hope to tell with this new venture. 909 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 7: Good ones. 910 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 11: We want we want to make movies that families can 911 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 11: go to and enjoy. You know, I was a kid, 912 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 11: you know my favorite movies that my very favorite movie 913 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 11: is kid was The Cowboys with John Wayne and I 914 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 11: just loved that film and it was a film that 915 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 11: the whole family could see. And I've seen that film 916 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 11: so many times and there's some dark issues in it, 917 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 11: but I'm crazy dark. There's some you know, there's everything 918 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 11: you'd want in a movie, and those those kind of 919 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,439 Speaker 11: movies are always kind of stuck in my brain. Now 920 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 11: Ravaine and I have the opportunity to actually make those films, 921 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 11: and we're going to keep making films like that that 922 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 11: entertain the masses with a family feel and with with 923 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 11: with a nice backdrop of God. And I think that 924 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 11: not enough filmmakers are thinking that way, and that's what 925 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 11: we're thinking, and that's we're going to keep on doing well. 926 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 10: The old Parenting is such a crucial issue right now, 927 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,320 Speaker 10: and not just in this country, but in the world. 928 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 10: I believe you have five beautiful children. I have one 929 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 10: who just turned one, My son did what kind of 930 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 10: legacy thank you? 931 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 9: Do? 932 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: You know? 933 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 10: I think about this, and I'm sure you have as 934 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 10: a father too, But especially since you're in an entertainment industry, 935 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 10: what kind of legacy do you want to leave to 936 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,320 Speaker 10: those children? Because I've had to think about that myself 937 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 10: when you're in such a unique industry. 938 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,800 Speaker 11: I don't really think that far in the future. I 939 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 11: don't really think about me and my legacy. That's you know, 940 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 11: I'm thinking about today. What did I do today to 941 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,800 Speaker 11: make my kid's life better? What did I do today 942 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 11: to make my wife? 943 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 4: That was a conversation with Neil McDonough, who's new movie, 944 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 4: The Last Rodeo is coming out. You can see President 945 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 4: Trump heading off into the sunset there he's headed to 946 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,280 Speaker 4: New Jersey.
