However, and reaching sales for Black Friday show 29 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: a different story that along with the Trump accounts hopefully 30 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: no income tax, that's my favorite.

As we peel back 83 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: the onion. And as a fraud comedian in Minnesota, peals 84 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 3: back that onion. They're finding like literally millions of dollars 85 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 3: of more fraud. And the fact is Brian, the Secretary 86 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: of rawlins USDA Secretary asks for the roles for the 87 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 3: SNAP program in Minnesota, and of course Tim Walls and 88 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 3: his administration will not provide those roles. They're quite possibly 89 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: could be a SNAP fraud in Minnesota as well once 90 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 3: we get those that information. But again, Tim Walls, it's 91 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: been a disaster. Minnesota needs to be rescued and we 92 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 3: have to recover that great state because I want Minnesota, Brian, 93 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 3: to be known as a great state for mining and 94 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 3: timber and recreation and industry and you name it, not fraud. 95 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 3: And right now, the state of Minnesota, it's unconscionable that 96 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: we are on the news every day because of the 97 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: magnitude of this fraud under this derelict governor. 98 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 2: It's just unbelievable. 99 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: We're not going to stand for Minnesota's are not going 100 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 3: to stand for We're great people. We've give the shut 101 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 3: off from back to anybody, but we will not stand 102 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 3: being taken advantage of. You know, just a couple of 103 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 3: years ago, Brian, we had an eighteen billion dollars it's 104 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 3: going to be turned into a ten billion dollar tax increase, 105 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 3: and that is not right for Minnesota taxpayers and constituents 106 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: across the great state of Minnesota. 107 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and President Trump talked about your great state of 108 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: Minnesota in the cabinet room the other day, talking about 109 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: the land of ten thousand lakes or he said, however 110 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: many lakes they have, it's a beautiful state. Now, prosecutors 111 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: say that the group submitted fake mill counts and invoices 112 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: claiming to feed thousands of kids or are ranking in 113 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: millions in administrative fees and kickback. 114 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: I mean, at the end of the day, you kind of. 115 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: Start to think, you know, how many people could this 116 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: directly impact? And I've also said this the other day 117 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: on the morning show Congressman that maybe there might be 118 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: a reason why people travel from Somalia that hasn't averaged 119 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: year round temperature of eighty one degrees, one of the 120 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: warmest regions on our planet, and why would they go 121 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: to it's such a cold state like Minnesota, where your 122 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: average high in January barely gets out of the single digits. 123 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: Could there be some type of communication from Minnesota down 124 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: to Somalia and making this an incentive to travel to 125 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: your state and set up a residency. What's your thoughts 126 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: on that speculation? And then that's just my I'm just 127 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: spitballing here, but that's kind of what I'm trying to find, 128 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: some type of correlation between why they are migrating from 129 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: Somalia to Minnesota. 130 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting because the fraud and investigator, the original 131 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 3: fraud and investigator, is a Somalian investigator and he had said, 132 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 3: we have to face the truth that nearly all of 133 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 3: this fraud is coming from our community. So again taking 134 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: an advantage of our benefits for the wrong reasons and 135 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: then not having accountability or looking the other way. 136 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: We know that the Health. 137 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: And Human Services members in the great state of Minnesota 138 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: were alerting the Walls administration and the Attorney General that 139 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 3: this is not right, does not seem to be right, 140 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: and they turned to blind eye. That's why President Trump 141 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 3: has now said, uh, we're gonna We're gonna investigate this 142 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 3: in our oversight committee USDA Secretary Rollins and other Treasury 143 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: Secretary Bessett. Bessett is looking at these areas on where 144 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: this money was taken taken from. And you talked about 145 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 3: the feeding our future. They said to the to the 146 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 3: to the federal government that they were feeding five thousand 147 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: kids a week. They didn't feed one child, not one. 148 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: And so it's it's, uh, this is just a tip 149 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: of the iceberg. From the information we're getting, Brian that 150 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 3: this is just the tip of the iceberg. That's why 151 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 3: we believe they could be between five and eight billion 152 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 3: dollars of fraud. Like every single day, the more investigations 153 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 3: we have, the more fraud we find out. And that 154 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 3: Tim Walls has let this happen. He has turned to 155 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: blind and eye, and so as our Attorney General, Keith Ellison. 156 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: And unfortunately, Tim Walls is running for a third unprecedented 157 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: term in Minnesota, a third term. And just like the 158 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: American people fired him last November, Minnesotan's are going to 159 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 3: fire Tim Walls next November. We cannot handle him any longer. 160 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: Well, that was going to be my next question, of course, 161 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: in the cabinet meeting, President Trump bringing up Ilhan Omar, 162 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: your congresswoman from Minnesota, not having very friendly words to 163 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: say about her, called her a few names. What's some 164 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: of the feedback that you've got with your constituents, not 165 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: only in your district. But maybe what you're hearing around 166 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: the state, are they ready to finally move beyond having 167 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: her in office? Is there anybody challenging her coming up 168 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: in twenty six and fast forward to the governor race 169 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: that's potentially going to happen. Could Republican have a formidable 170 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: candidate for that to challenge any Democrat? And I don't 171 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: know if Waltz is he turned out on the running again, 172 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: but can we get a Republican in office? When I'm 173 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: saying we take this and build on it and talk 174 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: about the fraud that's happened and maybe perhaps put a 175 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: Republican back in office. 176 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: I do believe. 177 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: First off, we don't have term limits for governor in Minnesota, 178 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: so that's why it's unprecedented for a governor to run 179 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: for a third term. But yes, we can in fact 180 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 3: take the governorship back. We have a strong Republican candidates 181 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 3: in Minnesota that have entered the race. And if you 182 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 3: look at Tim Walls from start to finish, and remember 183 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: in the Summer of Love in twenty twenty, he let 184 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 3: Minneapolis burn for three straight nights and then he lied 185 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 3: to us and said he was in tiennem and square 186 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty nine. And then he lied to a 187 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 3: group of people stating that he carried weapons in war. 188 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: And he lied to people when he said his children 189 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 3: were because of in vitrol ivf rather and that's not true. 190 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: None of it was true. 191 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 3: And so when we look at when we look at 192 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 3: what he's done, what he has said, he's damaged the 193 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 3: reputation of Minnesota. And you asked about the constituents. I 194 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: don't care if you're a Republican or Democrat. I'm all 195 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 3: over the state of Minnesota. They have had it with 196 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 3: Tim Walls and his lack of responsibility and what he's 197 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 3: done to the state of Minnesota. This fraud is just 198 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 3: another example of he and his administration, the failed leadership, 199 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 3: and Minnesota residents are starting to see this. You see, 200 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 3: once he got on the national stage, we all knew 201 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 3: it in Minnesota that the Twin Cities media was covering 202 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 3: and shielding him once he became the second pick for 203 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris vice presidential candidate. Once he became that second pick, 204 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 3: the national media exposed him. 205 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: He had nowhere to hide. 206 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 3: And all these things and much more are coming out 207 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 3: right now now from from state workers, from investigations and 208 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 3: from Democrats themselves. 209 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's unbelievable how at the end of 210 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: the day they all kind of expose themselves because you 211 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: can only hide for so long. Congressman, I appreciate your 212 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: time to day.

We'll be right back. 231 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: All right. Welcome in, Brian Glenn filling in for the 232 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: Great Steve Gruber, who is at the White House on standby. 233 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: If what was scheduled to be at three o'clock executive order, 234 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: if that opens up to. 235 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: The press, perhaps our very own Steve Gruber will be 236 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 2: in there right now. 237 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: I just got word that they're still at the Kennedy 238 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: Center as President Trump was dealing with the big FIFA drawing. 239 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: All the countries get to draw the different brackets and stuff. 240 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: Very exciting news there, So we'll keep an eye on that, 241 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: make sure it opens up. When late November, President Trump 242 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: delivered a direct ultimatum to Venezuela's Nicholas Madero, demanding the 243 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: embattled Socialists leader either stepped. 244 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: Down immediately or face well, we'll find out. 245 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: According to reports, the warning came as a tense phone 246 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: call in which the White House offered a safe package 247 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: Formadureau and his wife and Floresens's from their son. But 248 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: not only did they Dictary agreed to resign on the spot. 249 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: That's only if you agreed to design on the spot. 250 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: The pressure comes as a Trump administration continues a significant 251 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: military build up in the Caribbean, positioning advanced US assets 252 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: including USS Gerald R. Ford near the Venezuelan waters. In 253 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: the meantime, US forces intensifying counter narcotics operations love the 254 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: boat strikes, by the way, which on Thursday, the military 255 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: destroyed another suspected drug running vessel in the Eastern Pacific, 256 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: killing four men. The Pentagon labeled quote narco terrorist. 257 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: I'll call them the same thing. 258 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: Officials say the boat belonged to a designated terrorist organization 259 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: and was moving illegal drugs along a well known traffing 260 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: cortal joining me now to unpack all of this, as 261 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: former Navy seal Mike Surreal. 262 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: Mike, thank you so much for joining us. 263 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: You know it's been I've been in the Oval and 264 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: I've been in the cabinet meetings where this topic has 265 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: come up and the media loves to talk about. 266 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: Well, was the secondary shot necessary? 267 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: You hit the boat, you found out two guys were 268 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: still alive, you took them out too. 269 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 2: I don't think that's a bad thing. 270 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: I think when when he comes to fighting narco terrorists, 271 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: you do it at any at any measure. 272 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: But what's your take on what's going on right now? 273 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: It seems like we are winning the war on stopping 274 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: these boats coming to the US with these drugs are 275 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: we not? 276 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: We absolutely are right. 277 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 4: Let me address your first point. 278 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 2: One. 279 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 4: I served directly for Admiral Mitch Bradley. He's been doing 280 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 4: this the entire global war on Terror. These type of strikes, 281 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 4: you strike a target until it's down. He is sitting 282 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 4: around a group of Jaggs lawyers who are advising him 283 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 4: on the rules of war. So he is well within 284 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 4: his right and I think the Democratic lawmakers underestimated his 285 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 4: experience and that the wright man is performing the job. 286 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 4: So you are right, it is working. We're seeing a 287 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 4: surge of narco boats coming out of Venezuela. Why is 288 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 4: that a surge, because it's a sign of desperation. Whenever 289 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 4: you want to make somebody desperate, hit their profit line, 290 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 4: and that's what's happening. But this is leading to further 291 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 4: isolation of Maduro in Venezuela. We're seeing Moscow and Beijing 292 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 4: pull back because this is within the Western hemisphere and 293 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 4: it wouldn't be good optics for them to continue to 294 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 4: support and fund Madua. Here's my fear though, and this 295 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 4: is what I'll say. We keep hearing about a surge 296 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 4: of troops because this is maritime interdiction with special operations 297 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 4: in the lead with marine and naval assets supporting them. 298 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 4: And again that is working. But if you surge troops, 299 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 4: make sure that they are tight objectives with very clear 300 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 4: measurables so that we avoid mission creep like you saw 301 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 4: in the Gulf War when we took down Iraq. So 302 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 4: we've got to be very careful there and make sure 303 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 4: that we are not overreaching. What the intent here is 304 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 4: that President Trump is trying to effectively, uh, you know, 305 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 4: implement regime change. 306 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's kind of what it appears to be. 307 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: And of course, the next question that I'm going to 308 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: ask you, and I hear it a lot in these 309 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: cabinet meetings or the last one I was in, and 310 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: of course I hear it in the Oval office a 311 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: lot in the briefing room, is would we strike on land? 312 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 2: Would would we. 313 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: You know, send either troops our weapons onto the land 314 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: to take out these narco terraces? Do you see that 315 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: being a possibility? So I think the question is could we? 316 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: We absolutely could With the Marine Expeditionary Unit staged forward, 317 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: they have the capability both aerial and with the sport 318 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: of the Navy to conduct litoral invasions and grab terrain. 319 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: They are absolutely capable of doing that. Is there a 320 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: reason to do it? I don't think so. 321 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 4: What we're doing in terms of that isolation of Madurou 322 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 4: and Venezuela is working. You know, the East often has 323 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 4: a long term view on things and they're patient. We 324 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 4: need to display a little bit of that patience as 325 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 4: we further isolate Maduro's we take his funding away. I mean, 326 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 4: we're diplomatically, geographically, financially isolating it. Regime change will come, 327 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 4: but we have to be patient and let these operations 328 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 4: have that intended effect. And when it comes to the 329 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 4: American people sometimes we're not so patient with that. 330 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know that the people of Venezuela are 331 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: probably I would think supportive of what's going on. Not 332 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: only do they don't want to see drugs go into 333 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: another country, but then they also see this very evil dictator, 334 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: if I can use lack of a better terms. 335 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 2: So what is next? We got about a minute and 336 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 2: a half left. Where do you how long do you 337 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 2: think this goes on for? 338 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: And what's what's the next step in terms of what 339 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: we do? And then what what do you think the 340 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: people of Venezuela does? 341 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 4: So the surgeon troop in in the correct troops, troops 342 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 4: to the task that that that's at hand. Maritime interdiction 343 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 4: in the assets is important because what you'll see them 344 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 4: do is with this surge of narco boats, they're going 345 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 4: to mix up routes or what you call lanes Trinidad Tobago, 346 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 4: Dominican REPUBLICAITI. They're going to try to find every maritime 347 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 4: lane to make it through our forces. So that is 348 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 4: the justification for the surge in the right set of 349 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 4: troops and the assets. But it is the likelihood that 350 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 4: Maduro is going to step down, probably not. I mean 351 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 4: we remember back to Panama with individuals like this, they're 352 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 4: so confident, so arrogant in their power that they won't 353 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 4: step down. That is where the regime changed from within. 354 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 4: And we've got to assume that covert and clandestine, clandestine 355 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 4: operations are going on to support the resistance groups in 356 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 4: Venezuela and support them to take down Maduro internally. That 357 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 4: would be, in my view, if I was president for 358 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 4: a day, the ultimate objective I would be trying to 359 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 4: achieve without putting forces on the ground. 360 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, MIKE'SRELLI thank you so much for joining us on 361 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: this Friday. 362 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: I hope you have a fantastic weekend. Thanks for you 363 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: insight on all of this. We appreciate it. Thanks Brett. 364 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 2: All right, don't go anywhere. We're gonna stay on tap 365 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 2: as far as what's going on. 366 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: If the White House will bringing the very latest, if 367 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: that executive order does open up. 368 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 2: During this program. Until then, sit back, relax, watch a 369 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 2: commercial break. We'll be right back. 370 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to America's Voice Live. 371 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: I am Brian Glenn. 372 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: Steve Gruber is at the White House. He's posted up 373 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: in case President Trump opens up that three o'clock which 374 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: now you know a little bit after three o'clock the 375 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: executive orders will dip into that if it happens. So 376 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: if you watch the market, you probably know that crypto 377 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: took a recent hit. Now, however, gold has remained above 378 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: four thousand dollars. Mark Rav's very owned Bo Davidson spoke 379 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: with a precious metal specialist earlier this week. 380 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 5: Take a look, first off, Philip, what's going on with 381 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 5: crypto right now? 382 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 6: It's been an interesting couple of months, to say the least. 383 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 6: We've seen nearly a billion dollars in leverage Crypto bets 384 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 6: wiped out in twenty four hours. We saw a small 385 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 6: recovery today, but that was on top of nineteen billion 386 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 6: dollar liquidation CASTAID that hit early October. Bitcoin at the 387 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 6: moment is down almost ten percent year to date. The 388 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 6: lower tier old coins, the bottom half of the top 389 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 6: one hundred, they're down roughly seventy percent for the year 390 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 6: so far. In my mind, this isn't a random sell off. 391 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 6: This is the unwinding of hidden leverage that's built up 392 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 6: when everything was rallying and doing very well. And I 393 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 6: think traders are finally admitting that they don't know how 394 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 6: much leverage is really in the financial system because exchangers 395 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 6: don't disclose this data. What we do know, though, is 396 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 6: about four point six billion dollars has been abandoned from 397 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 6: the bitcoin market. 398 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 2: Over the last week or so. 399 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 6: Put it simply, when liquidity titans, the most secular assets 400 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 6: full first. So I think what we're seeing in the 401 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 6: crypto markets could be the canary in the coal mine 402 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 6: for the broader economy. 403 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 5: Philip, you know President Trump has said he's chosen his 404 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 5: next FED chair. How does that change the situation currently. 405 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 6: Look Normally, a new FED chair is sort of a 406 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 6: glossed over by financial markets, but today I think it's 407 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 6: much more important than it would be. Interest costs on 408 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 6: the national debt are over two trillion dollars a year, 409 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 6: so the states are very very high. The President clearly 410 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 6: understands this, and that's why I think this appointment matters 411 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 6: so much. We'll off next FED chair support lower interest 412 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 6: rates to relieve the debt burden. Are they going to 413 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 6: prioritize inflation control and raise rates at the cost of 414 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 6: slowing the economy. Investors at the moment are trading off 415 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 6: two realities. They know that Washington cannot afford higher rates, 416 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 6: but at the same time, the Fed can't really justify 417 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 6: very big rate cuts without risking another inflation flare up. 418 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 6: So I think until we have clarity and the policy 419 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 6: direction becomes clear, I expect to see a little bit 420 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 6: more volatility in every corner of the financial sector. 421 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 5: And Philip finally, just to touch on the announcement that 422 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 5: was made right before we came on air, which has 423 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 5: regarded the Trump accounts and Michael Dell's huge investment. I 424 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 5: believe it's six point twenty five billion dollars, which will 425 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 5: be two hundred and fifty dollars to twenty five million 426 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 5: kids who are in kind of lower income areas. This 427 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 5: is a huge private investment from a very well known 428 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 5: wealthy man. Do you think we're going to see more 429 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 5: private investment like this? And is this a really good 430 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,719 Speaker 5: sign of things to come during this administration for the 431 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 5: future of children learning the concept of compound interest and 432 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 5: what that can do for them in terms of what 433 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 5: they say is educating a new generation of capitalists. 434 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 6: The answer is absolutely yes, and this is just another 435 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 6: sign of how President Trump has attracted a ton of investment. 436 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 6: This specifically, though, six point four billion dollars for America 437 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 6: children is absolutely massive. They will learn the power of 438 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 6: compounded interest. As you say, two hundred and fifty dollars 439 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 6: over an eighteen year period will be tens of thousands 440 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 6: of dollars, and it could give these kids the start 441 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 6: that they need. As we know it's become much more 442 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 6: difficult for middle class and working class Americans to just 443 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 6: make ends meet. To give children a leg up in 444 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 6: this climate, I think is huge and like I said, 445 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 6: it's just a sign of how President Trump does business. 446 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 6: Really encouraging and obviously kudos to Michael Dell and his wife. 447 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 6: It's a huge charitable donation and it's the most important 448 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 6: thing our children. 449 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 2: I mean, it's incredible. Yeah. 450 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 5: And I think one thing that's so cool about it, 451 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 5: Philip is I have a very young child, he's under two, 452 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 5: and just the concept of investing in the notion of family, 453 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 5: the nuclear family unit, is something we haven't heard about 454 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 5: in a long time. The incentive is now is for 455 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 5: the family. I think that's a really great thing that 456 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 5: he's doing. 457 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that is absolutely awesome. And I know 458 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: that our own Steve Gruber was in the Roosevelt Room 459 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: whenever Michael Dell and his wife made that announcement, that 460 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: six billion dollar Announcement's incredible. 461 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 2: All right, Well, text the. 462 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: Word America to the number nine eight nine eight nine 463 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: eight today to claim your free information. 464 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 2: Hit on gold once again. 465 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: That's America to nine eight nine eight nine eight now. 466 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 2: Coming up after the break. 467 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: The Democrats continue to say, wait a minute, the economy is. 468 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 2: Heading towards disaster. 469 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: However, Black Friday sales and Cyber Monday sales say otherwise. 470 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: And on top of that, President Trump recently wrote out 471 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: the Trump Accounts that touted the idea of no income 472 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: tax more on this coming up on AVL. 473 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 2: Stick around all right, welcome back to America Voice Live. 474 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: Steve Gruber is at the White House. Will get to 475 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: him if something was to break there. 476 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 2: Okay. The Democrats continue. 477 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: To push the narrative that the economy is headed for disaster. However, 478 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales show a completely different story. 479 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: The United States saw a record sales for Black Friday 480 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: and Cyber Monday, with more than eleven point eight billion 481 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: dollars in online sales alone. On top of that, Monday, 482 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 1: the President Trump rolled out what's called Trump Accounts, its 483 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: ensuring American children have a jump on investing to secure 484 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: their future, and he received a six point two five 485 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: billion dollar investment from Michae Odell and his wife for 486 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: the cause. 487 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 2: Great stuff there. 488 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: President Trump also touted the idea of no income tax, 489 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: and idea that most Americans like me would love without 490 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: a doubt. Despite what the Democrats say, the economy is 491 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: repairing itself in four years of failed Biden economy. Even 492 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: gas prices have continued to drop, with an average this 493 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: morning of to seventy five a gallon. 494 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 2: Here discuss that and a whole lot more as. 495 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: A founder of Geltrude and Company, America's accountant Dan Geltrude, Hey, 496 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: was there anything I said that was not true in 497 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: that open I mean, look, we've all seen gas prices 498 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: go down, we've seen a lot of the economy rebound, 499 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: record sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 500 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 2: What say you? 501 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 7: Well to answer your question there, Brian, you were right 502 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 7: on point. So what people have to understand is, right 503 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 7: now we are in a state of repairing what's been done. 504 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 7: Now people are impatient, they want things to get better 505 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 7: right away, but of course that's not how it works. 506 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 7: Remember this, When you're deep in a hole, you stop digging. 507 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 7: So those are the first steps that President Trump had 508 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 7: to take. We had to stop digging the hole. Now 509 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 7: the question becomes, we need some time for his policies 510 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 7: to take hold. 511 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 2: In order to be able to climb. 512 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 7: Out of the hole. So I know there's a lot 513 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 7: of people out there that are feeling the pain. But 514 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 7: all we could say right now is it's getting better, 515 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 7: and it's going to get better. We just need a 516 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 7: little time. 517 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I agree. 518 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: A lot of these changes study's done with the terrorists, 519 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: bringing manufacturing back to the US, that takes time. But 520 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: does it say that the consumer confidence if people are 521 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 1: willing to go out and buy gifts at record amounts 522 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 1: that they believe and they trust that Trump has a 523 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: better plan for the economy and they put a lot 524 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: of trust in him, hence the consumer confidence. 525 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 7: Well, yes, I mean the numbers don't lie. People are 526 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 7: clearly spending money. We have to go behind the curtain 527 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 7: a little bit because we do see personal debt for 528 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,479 Speaker 7: Americans rising to the highest levels ever, like with credit cards, 529 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 7: and we have to be really concerned right now because 530 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 7: we haven't gotten the interest rates down as low as 531 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 7: President Trump would like them to be. But of course 532 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 7: that's another story. So either way, when people are spending, 533 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 7: whether it's out of their savings account or their earnings 534 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 7: or whether they're taking on debt, they're gonna do that 535 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 7: if they believe that things are going to improve. So yes, 536 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 7: the numbers do indicate that there is confidence in what 537 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 7: lies ahead. 538 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: Okay, last question. We got about thirty seconds real quickly. 539 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: No income tax. Obviously it's pretty popular amongst the people, 540 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: but is that very realistic that we can actually get 541 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: Congress the Senate to both that and pass that and 542 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: put it into law. 543 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 7: I think that would be a very tall order for 544 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 7: President Trump to be able to pull that off. Is 545 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 7: it popular? Do people want it? Absolutely? But let's not 546 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 7: forget the level of debt this country has, so it 547 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 7: would not be easy to take income tax out of 548 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 7: our revenue equation at this point. 549 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Dan, Thank you so much, so much 550 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 2: for joining us. 551 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: I hope you have a fantastic weekend, and we look 552 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: forward to hearing a little bit more about this as 553 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: we this Trump economy goes on. 554 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 2: Thanks Brian, thank you well. A new administration in Washington, 555 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 2: d C. 556 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: Has brought a lot of positive changes when it comes 557 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: to fixing our broken healthcare, that's for sure. The reality is, however, 558 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: that there's only so much the government can do, and 559 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: that's really what If you really want to make America 560 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: healthy again, well, that starts at home with each and 561 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: every one of you, that includes me as well.

Coming up after the break, I'll discuss the Supreme. 588 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: Court allowing Texas to move forward with their redistricting efforts 589 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: before the midterms. Next year's we'll have more on that 590 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: we come back. 591 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 2: Stick around this very special edition of ad L. All right, 592 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 2: welcome back. 593 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: Well, after some deliberation, the Supreme Court of the United 594 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: States has allowed Texas to go ahead with this redistarting map. 595 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: That's a good thing. 596 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: A lower court injunction previously had the fate of this 597 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: new congressional map in limbo, since it argued that the 598 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: map was drawn exclusively in favor of Republicans and considered 599 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: faced factors like race. But what the Supreme Court's ruling, 600 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: The map now can be implemented into further elections, notable 601 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: the upcoming twenty twenty six midterms. Joining me out talking 602 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: about that a whole lot more as President of the 603 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: Conservative Caucus, Jim faff Jim, we were talking right before 604 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: we came on that this it, I mean, this is 605 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: it's surprising. But then it's not because it seems like 606 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: so much has well come. 607 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 2: Out of the Supreme Court in favor of the trouble. 608 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: I think, I think the twentieth of victory that he's 609 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: had there. 610 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 2: But what does that mean. 611 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: To Texas and where some people have to perhaps now 612 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: run again and maybe what would you could be predominantly 613 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: Republican districts and they may. 614 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: Not win if they're a Democrat. Yeah. 615 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 8: Well, I mean when you have this amount of change, 616 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 8: obviously it shakes things up. Indiana's house and I'm here 617 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 8: in Indiana right now. They have a map where they 618 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 8: are going to radically transform those districts is going to 619 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 8: shake a lot up as well. They're going to lose 620 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 8: two Democrat seats. But what you know, the interesting thing 621 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 8: about this is that you look at Democrat states, I mean, 622 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 8: the argument that it's somehow racist or racially based to 623 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 8: do it politically focused map is absurd because for decades 624 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 8: now we've had Democrat states doing that all the time. 625 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 8: And you know, the thing that it does is it's 626 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 8: finally Republicans deciding that they are going to counter one 627 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 8: of the key things that Democrats have been doing to 628 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 8: put try to you know, keep them from having any 629 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 8: effect on the national stage, and that is drawing districts 630 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 8: in a way that that might be politically beneficial for 631 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 8: one party or the other. 632 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 2: Democrats. 633 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 8: Like I said, Democrats have been doing that forever. But 634 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 8: the other interesting thing about this map is it actually, 635 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 8: instead of being racially based, it actually brings in a 636 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 8: more effectively a principle that should be for balance maps, 637 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,479 Speaker 8: which is communities of interest. You know, you've got these 638 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 8: snake lines that run through various states, and they're often 639 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 8: done they were done to create racial districts often, but 640 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 8: they've also been done for political purposes, and you have 641 00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 8: people in rural parts of states going into metropolitan parts 642 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 8: of the states. 643 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 2: This is particularly so in Illinois. 644 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 8: This map actually fixes some of those problems that did 645 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 8: exist in Texas. It was actually jerry mannered in the 646 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 8: wrong way, so to speak. So this trend is actually positive. 647 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,280 Speaker 8: I don't think we want independent commissions drawing these maps 648 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 8: because those independent commissions can be subject to worse problems 649 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 8: than just asking the politicians to do it. So actually, 650 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,240 Speaker 8: I think this is a very healthy thing. It's certainly 651 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 8: beneficial for Republicans. And there's more to come. We got 652 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 8: Florida to come. If Indiana paps passes this map, that 653 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 8: that's gonna make a difference too. And I actually think 654 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 8: it's a positive realignment. 655 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, what about the response from California, And I know 656 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom was was you know, told Greg ab but 657 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: if you do this, then we're gonna do this. I mean, 658 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: what do you see California holding strong with their redistricing 659 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: and efforts. 660 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 8: Oh, I would suppose so yeah, against their constitution. They 661 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 8: did pass a popularly elect the constitutional Amendment to go 662 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 8: to an independent commission. Again, I'm not a big fan 663 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 8: of independent commissions, but that is the process that they had, 664 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 8: and frankly, Texas looks like the pristine one here because 665 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 8: Gavin Newsoen and his crowd have decided to thwart what 666 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 8: they had already put into place during Ernest Warzenegger's administration. 667 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 8: But again, we need to recognize that states have to 668 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 8: make sure that their states are represented positively. And if 669 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 8: Democrats are going to decide to gerrymander their states, then 670 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 8: Republican oriented states need to do the same thing. 671 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 2: It's absolutely fair. 672 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 8: If they're going to do their process, then you know, 673 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 8: the Republicans need to do the same.

Now, Randy Findesfold was a 731 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: beloved figure in his community, but unfortunately passed away this 732 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: September due to a crash near his home. 733 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,280 Speaker 2: He was at the age of forty three. 734 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: Now, after giving his family some time to grieve, Randy's 735 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 1: neighbors rallied examine the deceased farmers remaining harvests, including soilbeans, canola, 736 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: and more than one thousand acres of corn and affair 737 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,800 Speaker 1: that would require a lot of hands on deck. There 738 00:39:55,200 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: implementing the strategy on Divide and conquered roughly seventy five volunteers, 739 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: twelve combines, and additional help for more than one hundred 740 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: communities work together to harvest about fourteen hundred acres of 741 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: corn and just a matter of days. Giving a helping 742 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: hand is always nice gesture, but at the effort shown 743 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 1: by Randy formed fine Folds friends remind us of what 744 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,760 Speaker 1: makes America so wonderful. 745 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 2: So here's a question of the day. 746 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: Why do you think it took nearly five years to 747 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: arrest the DC pipe bomb suspect. 748 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 2: We'll go to the answer here. 749 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: Greg Quinn says, they were too busy locking up Grandma's 750 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: I can't argue with that. Catherine says, because it was 751 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: all a setup. Perhaps Brett dropping in last administration intentionally 752 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: ignored the evidence. 753 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 2: That is true. I would agree with you on that. 754 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: Mike says, why they couldn't just be bothered to they 755 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: were too busy completing the J six setup. A lot 756 00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: of theories on that. Scott dropping in in competence is 757 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,800 Speaker 1: a hell of a thing. Tommy Biden's FBI was looking 758 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: with their eyes closed. They didn't want to find him. 759 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: They thought they had some kind of connection with him 760 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: in the first place. Now this is this is interesting. 761 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: On this they had a suspect. They thought it was 762 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: a female that perhaps worked for the department that got dismissed. 763 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,439 Speaker 1: Now this other guy comes up. Brian cole Age thirty. 764 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,399 Speaker 1: We'll find out how that falls in. Look, I want 765 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: to go straight to Eric Bowling.
