1
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: Good evening, folks, Welcome to Stinchfield.

2
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: I feel like, if you're a criminal and the dominoes

3
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: start to fall and things start to go bad, they

4
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: go really bad. This is what I think is happening

5
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: to James Colemy. Finally karma is catching up with him. First,

6
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: it was this insane tweet that he put out eighty

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: six forty seven. If we could put the video up

8
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: there of shell formation on the beach, kill Trump is

9
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 2: what that means, no matter what he wants.

10
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: To tell you.

11
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: Then over the weekend he gets hauled in by the

12
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: FBI and Secret Service to discuss what did he mean

13
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: by eighty six forty seven and was that a direct

14
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: threat on a president who's already had two assassination attempts.

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: Now we have Cash Mattel and Dan Bongino in the

16
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: FBI headquarters uncovering all of James Comey's criminal wrongdoing as

17
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: director of the FBI.

18
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: So what does he do.

19
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: After people start to realize this guy's crooked?

20
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: He runs to MSNBC.

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: Well, he made his first comments over the eighty six

22
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: forty seven shell formations today on MSNBC. That tells you

23
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: all you need to know. By the way about where

24
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: he goes to tell his story.

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: Watch.

26
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: We were walking on the beach.

27
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 4: We went to the beach to prepare for this week,

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: which was the launch of my book, and to think

29
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 4: about the book and to prepare to ask answer questions

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: about it. And we were walking back towards the road

31
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: and we saw in the sands someone had arranged shells

32
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: with numbers. And Patrice, my wife, said, why would someone

33
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 4: put an address in the sand? And I said, I

34
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 4: don't know. And we stood over it and I said,

35
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 4: you know, I think it's some kind of like political message.

36
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: And she said, you know eighty six. When I was

37
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: a server, she did a lot of working in restaurants,

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: meant to remove an item from the menu when you

39
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: ran out of ingredients. And I said, well, to me,

40
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 4: as a kid, had always meant to leave a place,

41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: to ditch a place, I said, that's really clever.

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you're a mobster, it means ditch your body.

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: Eighty miles outside of the city six feet under. James

44
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: call Me was the director of the FBI for a

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: long time. You don't think they investigated the mob This

46
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: was a common term. If anybody knew what eighty six

47
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 2: meant it's him. He's right about the diner, by the way,

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 2: eighty six to ketch up, fine, but eighty six forty

49
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: seven is very very clear he knew what he was doing.

50
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: So now he says, oh, I thought I was done

51
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: with the investigations.

52
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: Poor old James call.

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 4: Me, and I really thought that I was done. I

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: was in another life. I was a grandfather and an author,

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: wearing you know, sweaters and jeans. And then they went

56
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 4: for a walk on the beach and posted a silly

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: picture of shells that I thought was a clever way

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: to express a political viewpoint. And actually I still think

59
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: it is. I don't see it the way some people

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: are still saying it is. But again, I don't want

61
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 4: any part of any violence. I've never been associated with violence,

62
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 4: and so that's why I took it down.

63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: No, you've only been associated with a coup attempt of

64
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: the greatest nation in this world. With all the evidence,

65
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: you concocted the phony Russian collusion hoax, which brings us

66
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: to Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, and

67
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: Cash Betel, two of my friends.

68
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: I'll be open and honest with you. I know them both.

69
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: Very very well, now they went on with Maria Bartiromo

70
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: and I think they had blockbuster news. The mainstream media

71
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: is not covering this interview. This interview is stunning. They

72
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: have new information about the Russian collusion, hoaxed Crossfire Hurricane investigation,

73
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: the phony, fake fraud of an investigation that it was

74
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: listen to Cash and.

75
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 5: I'm telling you in the American public that we have

76
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 5: now found material and information and people who wanted to

77
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 5: hide it from the world since we got in these seats,

78
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 5: and we, as the director, as the deputy said, we

79
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 5: are trying to do it in a fashion where not

80
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 5: only are we informing the American public that wo happened,

81
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 5: but we can have accountability for it. And that takes

82
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 5: a little bit more time, all.

83
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: Right, So a little bit more time. How much more time?

84
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: I know we all wanted it. Yesterday, right, they botched

85
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: the complete release of the Epstein files. Let's face it,

86
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: that was a botch job, not on Cash or Dan,

87
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 2: that was on the DOJ and headquarters there. But still

88
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: it didn't bode Well, why can't we get it quicker?

89
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: Why a week or two out, Dan Bongino, you.

90
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 6: Want it done quickly, We'll do it and you know

91
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 6: what will happen, Just what happened last time, those same

92
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 6: spygay collusion perpetrators sued the government. God money, got all this.

93
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 6: You want that, we'll do it, We'll do it quickly,

94
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 6: and do it wrong.

95
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: Well, the most disturbing thing to come out of this

96
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: interview is the fact that that they say they have

97
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: uncovered evidence of the lengths that the FBI gestapo went

98
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: under the prior administration and before working for the deep State,

99
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: even through the Trump administration to run this coup attempt

100
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: against President Trump succeeded in twenty twenty in my mind,

101
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: because I believe that election was stolen.

102
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: Here's cash again.

103
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 5: Look, I can speak to the folks that were in

104
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: our seats, our predecessors, and they intentionally failed the American

105
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 5: public by putting on the biggest DC deception game we've

106
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 5: ever seen. They said the FBI was the most storied

107
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 5: institution for law enforcement. And it was and it will

108
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 5: be again very soon. But when the likes of Comy

109
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 5: and McCabe and Strock and company came in here with

110
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 5: the James Bakers of the world and intentionally lied to

111
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 5: a federal court only to rig a presidential election by

112
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 5: lying to the American public and using taxpayer dollars, likely

113
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 5: illegally to fund this entire operation, and then withhold disculpatory

114
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 5: information from a federal court that I used to appear

115
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 5: more to manhunt terrorists. That's what broke the FBI. And

116
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 5: then when they were caught, they light about it.

117
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: All of that, by the way, is illegal.

118
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: But Cash gave us a little tip as to why

119
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: we may never get the accountability that we want, the

120
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: total retribution that this nation deserves against bad actors who

121
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: strive to steal this country from us. The problem is

122
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: the statute of limitations. No fault of Cash, Hotels or

123
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: dan Bonginos, but it is an issue.

124
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 5: We weren't here in the FBI in the last five

125
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 5: years when we had statute of limitations that were still

126
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 5: in play where we could have investigated criminal conduct. And

127
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 5: most these statute limitations are five years old. And we

128
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 5: will investigate criminal conduct where we find a righteous case

129
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 5: to do so in the law and the facts allow

130
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 5: us to. But a lot of it were precluded from all.

131
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: Right, So we will wait to see what they come

132
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: up with one to two weeks from now.

133
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: That's a direct quote from them.

134
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: New information about the Russian collusion hoax. This interview was

135
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: short on specific details, but big on news and a

136
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: real teaser as to what they're uncovering inside the Hoover Building.

137
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: James call me better brace himself. He thought he was

138
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: done with investigations. I think the investigations are just beginning

139
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: on with me.

140
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 7: Now.

141
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: Is FBI whistleblower, former special agent Steve Friend is with us.

142
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: Steve, it's great to have you back on the program.

143
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me tonight.

144
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: All right, well, let's start first with what you thought

145
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: of Cash Betel's and Dan Bongino's interview with Maria Bartiromo,

146
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: Specifically new information that Cash hadn't even known about. He's

147
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: the guy that uncovered the whole Russian collusion hoax.

148
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, it's a little bit disappointing that we're

149
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 8: outside of the statute of limitations, but I think that

150
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 8: an energetic executive would find a way to be creative

151
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 8: and how we're going to go after the guilty parties here.

152
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 8: We're at a point now we're just being transparent and

153
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 8: sharing this information. While it's laudable and something that we

154
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 8: all want to have, we need to see people in

155
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 8: handcuffs in orange jumpsuits. Let's take an example here. James

156
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 8: call me, I'm tired of the distractions with this eighty

157
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 8: six forty seven. Look, the FBI has a caveat. They

158
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 8: don't investigate people for First Amendment protective speech. He's got

159
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 8: a pretty strong case there, as distasteful as it is.

160
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 8: But what he doesn't have any protection for is the

161
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 8: fact that he ran an off the books honeypot operation

162
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 8: into the Donald Trump campaign and send undercover agents to infiltrate,

163
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 8: make themselves appear sexually available in order to dig up dirt.

164
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: We have a whistleblower that's.

165
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 8: Gone out on that, and I think that the statute

166
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 8: limitations on a seditious conspiracy extends beyond five years. So

167
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 8: he needs to be at the end of an l.

168
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 8: Sha Paul Way and solitary confinement for the rest of

169
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 8: his life, as opposed to drumming up some sort of

170
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 8: nonsensical publicity for his BS book tour.

171
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 2: All Right, Cash Mattel, the director of the FBI, now

172
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: said that is they need to dig into this. They

173
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: found rooms that they believe things were hidden deep inside

174
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: that they thought would never be uncovered. What do you

175
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: think he's talking about when he talks about how they

176
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,239
Speaker 2: buried stuff, and I don't think he was speaking rhetorically

177
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 2: buried stuff inside the FBI and secret rooms and all

178
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: these other locations.

179
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, I think that there are actual physical

180
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 8: locations as you could put things. But as far as

181
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 8: burying things go, the FBI has software the ability to

182
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 8: record reports and any sort of investigative actions that are taken.

183
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 8: And it is wholly possible that someone is going to

184
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 8: take things and hide them outside of what you would

185
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 8: deem to be the case file for the investigation, which

186
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 8: if the director of the FBI said I want the

187
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 8: case file on the Russia collusion hoax put on my desk,

188
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 8: they put it on there, say here you go, boss.

189
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 8: Well there's other things that are hidden in other cases

190
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 8: in an alpham in America way to do that.

191
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: So it's going to be incumbent on.

192
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 8: Cash and Dan to task people and to surround themselves

193
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 8: with people who are trustworthy in order to dig through

194
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 8: all of those things in order to find anything that

195
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 8: is potentially connect into this. Because the tentacles descend so deep.

196
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: All right, I would bet okay that you, as a

197
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: former FBI agent even me as a former or investigative reporter,

198
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: we probably make pretty good criminals.

199
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: We've done a lot of.

200
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: Looking into investigations. A lot of people in the FBI

201
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: could say the same thing, including James Comey.

202
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if there's any evidence left. How

203
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: would there even be anything left? Or didn't they destroy

204
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: it all? Oh?

205
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 8: Well, we know for a fact that there was destruction

206
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 8: going on in the interim phases after the election and

207
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 8: before the inauguration, and even before Cashpdell became the director

208
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 8: of the FBI, particularly has pertained to the Epstein list.

209
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: There was actual shredding.

210
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 8: Going on or some sort of a way to permanently

211
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 8: erase those files.

212
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

213
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 8: I think that they know where to hide things. They're

214
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 8: really savvy at hiding what they've done for so long.

215
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 8: But I think we also need to rule in factor

216
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 8: in the element of.

217
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 3: Hubris as it goes here.

218
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 8: When you're an FBI agent, you're told from day one

219
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 8: how fifty million people applied to be in that position,

220
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 8: and you're just so darn good, and you were hurting

221
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 8: your shoulder by patting yourself on the back. I think

222
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 8: they're able to find a lot of this because these

223
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 8: guys are not particularly proficient of what they're doing, particularly

224
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 8: in the leadership ranks. When people ascend to become senior

225
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 8: executives in the FBI, all too often they have four

226
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 8: or five six years of actual investigative experience before they

227
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 8: hit the management track, and they are over a decade

228
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 8: removed from doing any sort of investigative work. So it

229
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 8: is potential that you have sloppy work on the hands

230
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 8: of like a Peter Strucker and Andy McCabe, who just

231
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 8: felt that they were entitled to overthrow an election because

232
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 8: they didn't like Donald Trump.

233
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: All right, I would assume you're probably right on that,

234
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: and that's all it takes is a criminal to slip

235
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: up once twice, and as you know, they're going to

236
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 2: be behind bars. So the other news that was made

237
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: by Dan Bongino and Cash Mattel, Director and Deputy Director

238
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: of the FBI was about the Epstein case. Now, I

239
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: want to preface this to everybody out there. I know

240
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: everybody loves Everybody loves Dan, and I'm gonna tell you

241
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 2: I am very good friends with.

242
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: Both of them.

243
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: I'm not being critical of them here, I'm just disagreeing.

244
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: So everybody to hold your emails before the you know,

245
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: after the show. Okay, I disagree that Epstein killed himself.

246
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: They disagree with me.

247
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 5: Apparently rolled that clip you said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.

248
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 5: People don't believe it. Well, I mean, listen, they have

249
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 5: a right to their opinion. But as someone who has

250
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 5: worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who's been

251
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 5: in that prison system, who's been in the Metropolitan Detention Center,

252
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 5: who's been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when

253
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 5: you see one, and that's what that was.

254
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 7: They killed himself.

255
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 6: Again, you want me to get I've seen the whole file.

256
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: He killed themself, all right, So so dances, I've seen

257
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: the whole file.

258
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: He killed himself.

259
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 2: What you're asking me then, is we're gonna throw out

260
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: the Russian collusion hopes because I don't believe it. But

261
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: now now we're going to believe the file about Epstein.

262
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: I mean, Steve, you know, we have the guards fell asleep,

263
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: the cameras didn't work, His suicide watch was removed just

264
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 2: days after he had tried to commit suicide.

265
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: That's strange.

266
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: A forensic experts says it was strangulation, not the bed

267
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: sheets and hanging himself. You've got all these things that

268
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: lead me to believe, like really, and they say they

269
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: read the files, where do you stand on this?

270
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 8: I'm firmly in Team Stinchfield's camp on this one. This

271
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 8: doesn't pass muster at all for me. It never has.

272
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 8: I mean, you could look at what's missing from those files.

273
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 8: Let's look at the visitor logs, not just to Jeffrey Epstein,

274
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 8: but to others. Let's look at the surveillance footage that

275
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 8: we do have and see who is walking in and

276
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 8: out of the facility.

277
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: Because to me, it's entirely.

278
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 8: Possible that somebody went in and used the exact same

279
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 8: coersion techniques that Jeffrey Epstein used throughout his entire life

280
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 8: and made him a deal he couldn't refuse, and said, look,

281
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 8: we'll make you really comfortable, we'll make you pass out,

282
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 8: be unconscious for the entire thing, and then we'll make

283
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 8: it a peer that you did those That to me

284
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 8: is if you're going to speculate the most reasonable explanation

285
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 8: and that is not suicide. And the case file has

286
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 8: thousands of documents, do you really think that they pulled

287
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 8: through it and read a line by line, every single word,

288
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 8: or are they taking the advice and consent of others

289
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 8: within the FBI who want to withhold that information.

290
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,359
Speaker 2: Look, I've made a possibility by no means a declaration.

291
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: There could be somebody involved with the Epstein case.

292
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: And I do not believe it's Trump.

293
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: I know President Trump, I've been with him, I've talked

294
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: to him about this, I've seen the evidence surrounding.

295
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: It's not Trump.

296
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: But there may be somebody high up in the MAGA

297
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: movement that could hurt the MAGA movement that somehow maybe

298
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: they're protecting. And all of this doesn't strike me as

299
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: something Dan and Cash would do, but for the greater good.

300
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: You can make that argument.

301
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: Otherwise, I don't know how they get here, because I remember,

302
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: I believe Dan Bongino was in our camp before he

303
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: got to the FBI.

304
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 8: It is a problem. Integrity is only a problem if

305
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 8: you got it right. You got to stick to it,

306
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 8: hold of those principles. And look, they're out of grace

307
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 8: as it comes to they just trust me. Bro narrative

308
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 8: that we saw, particularly with the Epstein list, where they

309
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 8: guaranteed and promised it to us, and I didn't even

310
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 8: think that they should they paid themselves into a corner.

311
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 8: They should have said, we have ongoing investigations of these

312
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 8: pedophiles and we can't compromise them.

313
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: But they promise it and they didn't deliver.

314
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 8: And now people, particularly as it pertains to anything Epstein,

315
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 8: are out of patience. They want to have these things

316
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 8: turn over. There's no expectation of privacy, no ongoing investigation.

317
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 8: Turnover everything as it pertains to the death of Jeffrey Epstein,

318
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 8: and let us see what you saw so we can

319
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 8: might be able to come to the same conclusion or not.

320
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: Well.

321
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: Always great assessment, Steve, Friend, especially from somebody who was

322
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: an FBI agent inside and experiencing everything you did with

323
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: the victoryol of the FBI coming at you with everything

324
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: they had. Great insight. I appreciate you, my friend. Thank

325
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: you as always.

326
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 3: Thanks Grey absolutely.

327
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: I believe Dan and Cash are two of the most

328
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: stand up guys.

329
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: I know, I mean it.

330
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 2: There's always a reason behind what they're doing, so we'll see.

331
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: Just because I disagree with him doesn't mean it's negative. Okay,

332
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: everybody should just calmed down. Well, guess who is making

333
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: his way to make a little speech.

334
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: This is a surprise of the program.

335
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: I wasn't really expecting this, but President Trump looks like

336
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: he's at the White House.

337
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: Let's dip in here. What he's talking about?

338
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 9: Everybody? What a group of good friends. We're going to

339
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 9: bring this place back. It's not so good. I thought

340
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 9: it was going to be as beautiful. I hadn't been

341
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 9: there in a while. I said, this is going to

342
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 9: be beautiful. It's not looking too good, but we're going

343
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 9: to bring it back. Why don't we sit down tell

344
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 9: you about our day? Shall I tell you about the day? First,

345
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 9: my little conversation with a nice gentleman named Vladimir Putin.

346
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 9: But we had actually we had a good talk, and

347
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 9: I think that progress is being made. Five thousand young

348
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 9: soldiers are being killed every single week on average.

349
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 7: Can you five thousand? And it's actually a.

350
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 9: Number, probably worse than that, in addition to other people

351
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 9: that are being killed in towns, and we're trying to stop.

352
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 9: It's a it's a bloodbath. It's an absolute bloodbath. I've

353
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 9: seen satellite pictures that are so bad, so horrible, And

354
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 9: that's to think that in this day and age we're living,

355
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 9: we're living with this horrible thing that's going on We're

356
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 9: doing the best we can. This was not our war,

357
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 9: this was not me. We're doing something from the last administration.

358
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 9: How they allowed that to happen. It wouldn't have happened.

359
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 9: It would have never happened. And you and you know

360
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 9: the Ukraine, Russia wouldn't have happened. But I'll tell you

361
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 9: what else wouldn't have had October seventh would not have happened.

362
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 7: This was a terrible thing.

363
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 9: Also, a lot of bad things happened in the last

364
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 9: four years, but good things are happening now. We had

365
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 9: a tremendous visit in the Middle East. We went to Qatar.

366
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 9: We said, the Saudi Arabia, all the top top people

367
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 9: in UAE, and we brought back about five point one

368
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 9: trillion dollars. That's not bad, and it's being credited as

369
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 9: one of them, maybe the most successful visit that anybody's

370
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 9: ever made to any place.

371
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 7: There's never been anything like this.

372
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 9: Hundreds of planes, big white body planes, order Boeing, getting

373
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 9: them from Boeing, but I think an order of I

374
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 9: think one hundred and forty eight planes. It's a lot

375
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 9: of seven seven sevens. Those are the big ones, or

376
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 9: the seven eighty seven dreamliners and orders of everything.

377
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 7: The AI is going wild.

378
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 9: I hope it's as good as people say, because otherwise

379
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 9: some people are going to be pretty disappointed. But it

380
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 9: seems like it is. A lot of smart people are

381
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 9: doing it. But massive orders into our country. We did

382
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 9: one point four trillion in one case, we did two

383
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 9: trillion in another case. Numbers that nobody's ever really heard

384
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 9: of before. And our relationship is fantastic with those three

385
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 9: beautiful places.

386
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 7: I mean, they're incredible.

387
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 9: Money is money is like no place else, probably anywhere.

388
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 7: But we have more money, but we didn't use it right.

389
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 7: But that's all right.

390
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 9: Now we're starting to We were losing and trade five

391
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 9: billion dollars a day, and now because of tariffs and

392
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 9: other things, we're making one billion dollars a day and

393
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 9: the tariffs haven't even really kicked in.

394
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 7: That's a big difference.

395
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 9: For the last four years have been a disaster for

396
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 9: us with trade and frankly with everything else.

397
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 7: So we're here for a different reason tonight.

398
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 9: We're going to have to fix this one too. We're

399
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 9: fixing everything. We're going around mister fix it, missus, fix it.

400
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 9: Anybody want to join me? But the Kennedy Center. When

401
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 9: I said I'll do this, I hadn't been there. That's

402
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 9: the last time I'll take a job without looking at it.

403
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 7: But it's got a tremendous amount.

404
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 9: Lindsey Graham and some people put in the budget two

405
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 9: hundred either two hundred or two hundred and fifty million

406
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 9: dollars money was spent there. Tremendous amounts of money was

407
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 9: spent there over the last ten years.

408
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 7: I don't know where they spent it.

409
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 9: They certainly didn't spend it on wallpaper, carpet or painting.

410
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 9: And they had over two hundred million dollars was spent.

411
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 9: So I don't know what's going on.

412
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 7: Pam, are you here? You hear that? When when I

413
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 7: hear that, I say, what where? Pam?

414
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 9: Where did all this money go? It's crazy, It's crazy.

415
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 9: What's happened with our country in that regard? You know,

416
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 9: you said build things. We go back to the woman rink.

417
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 9: They went for years, twelve years without getting in a rink.

418
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 9: And I got it built in three months for a fraction,

419
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 9: like a tiny fraction.

420
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 7: They had spent twenty over twenty million dollars. They never

421
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 7: got it opened.

422
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 9: I said, I want my kids to go ice skating

423
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 9: before they're too old. They don't want to go ice skating.

424
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 9: And I used to watch it from my window. I

425
00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 9: used to watch people nobody working and spending money like crazy.

426
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 9: And as you know, I got it built very quickly.

427
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 9: This is a This is a well, maybe more difficult.

428
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 9: That was pretty easy. Actually, that was pretty We had

429
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 9: cement mixers from the rink all the way back into Harlem.

430
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 9: We poured one contiguous pour over a period of a

431
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 9: day and a half.

432
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 7: They would pour a little section and another little section

433
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 7: and when they put.

434
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 9: Water, it all leaked, surprisingly, you know.

435
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 7: So it was fun. But I love construction.

436
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 9: This. I guess why I like this a little bit

437
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 9: because we're going to have.

438
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 7: To redo it.

439
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 9: So I'm monitored to welcome exceptionally talented and committed group

440
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 9: of patriots. You're amazing people. This is an amazing board,

441
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 9: I'll tell you.

442
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 7: And I got so.

443
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 9: Many calls from people could I get on the board.

444
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 9: You have a lot of people that are not so

445
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 9: much in love with me right now because I couldn't

446
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 9: get them on.

447
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 7: The board, but because the board is taken.

448
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 9: But we're going to turn it around and the Kennedy

449
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 9: Center Board of trustees. You're here and in many cases

450
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 9: you have your spouses. And I want to thank Rick

451
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 9: Grew Where's Rick?

452
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 7: Where's Rick?

453
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 9: I love that he did a great job. He used

454
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 9: to walk into the Justice Department with self undershown all

455
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 9: the horrible things that.

456
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 7: Had gone on in our cuntry.

457
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 9: He had a lot of courage and he's going to

458
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 9: be with me for a long time.

459
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 7: Different things. He seems to be a troubleshooter.

460
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 9: I say, how about Kennedy Center, let's fix that went up,

461
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 9: and tremendous strides have been made. Well, you'll be hearing

462
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 9: about that in a second, but I want to thank

463
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 9: the entire board for the incredible work and all the

464
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 9: fundraising efforts. We're going to raise some funds, but we're

465
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,959
Speaker 9: getting a lot of funds also from Congress because they

466
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 9: want to see this thing good. You know, we have

467
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 9: the two hundred and fiftieth year anniversary coming up, and

468
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 9: this building is going to be a primary focus in

469
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 9: DC and it's got the potential for greatness.

470
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 7: If it didn't, I wouldn't have done it.

471
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 9: But it has at a great plan, it's got great sound,

472
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 9: it's got a lot of things that you know, if

473
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 9: you don't have good sound, you can forget it. You're

474
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 9: never going to They've been trying to do things over

475
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 9: at the at Lincoln Center of Home my life. I've

476
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 9: been watching they rip it down, build it up, rip

477
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 9: it down. You know, some of the greatest sound of

478
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 9: buildings built in the eighteen fifties that are pure marble.

479
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 7: And you get up and you can just talk lightly

480
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 7: and they hear you.

481
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 9: Back one hundred rows. But if you don't have some

482
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 9: I think there's a certain amount of luck.

483
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 7: You hire sound.

484
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 9: Engineers, they get a lot of money, and then you

485
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 9: open the building and you can't hear anything. So we're

486
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 9: going to do some good things. But the basics are there.

487
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 9: The location is phenomenal, the importance of the building is phenomenal,

488
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 9: and we'll have some.

489
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 7: Very interesting plans.

490
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 9: I always thought they should have built a beautiful performing center,

491
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 9: open air, facing out over the Potomac.

492
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 7: They didn't do that.

493
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 9: They built these crazy rooms underneath. They built three tiny

494
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 9: little stages, very expensive. Someday maybe somebody will occupy one.

495
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 7: They're underground.

496
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 9: In fact, when I looked from a distance, you know,

497
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 9: you see these like hubs, concrete hubs.

498
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 7: And I thought it was modern art. You know. Well,

499
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 7: here we go with a modern art blocking everybody's view.

500
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 9: And when I actually went over there, I said, no,

501
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 9: it was a modern art. It was meant for a

502
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 9: door to be And so you go down to these rooms.

503
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 9: So I don't know what the hell they were doing,

504
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 9: but they spent a lot of money, and it's just

505
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 9: not possible that they could have spent it so poorly.

506
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 9: But we're going to turn it around. That's what I

507
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 9: love doing. I love turning things around, turn around artists.

508
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 9: I'm doing that with the country. Believe me, we're doing it.

509
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 9: We're doing a job. We are hot.

510
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: We are.

511
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 9: The country is hot. We in a short period. Look,

512
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 9: we've been there for one hundred days plus a few days.

513
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 9: And as they said, the King of Saudi Arabia said,

514
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 9: your place, your country, is a whole different image. Now

515
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 9: we were a laughing stock, laughing, an absolute laughing stock.

516
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 9: But we're not a laughing stock any longer. And you know,

517
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 9: I was talking to as I said, President, puting for

518
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 9: two and a half hours. That was being very seriously

519
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 9: listened to it. We don't like what's happening. We don't

520
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 9: like that. We should have ever been involved, would have

521
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 9: never happened, but we're respected again as a country. You know,

522
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 9: one thing that I tell you that I think is amazing.

523
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 9: If you remember about eight months ago, the big story

524
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 9: was that nobody wants to join our military.

525
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 7: We couldn't have.

526
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 9: Any people weren't joining, and they weren't proud of our country.

527
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 7: They weren't joining.

528
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 9: Police forces all over the country, Houston, Dallas, all over

529
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 9: the country.

530
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 7: New York.

531
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 9: And now we have a record setting enlistment in the military.

532
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 9: I think of that record setting the most in thirty

533
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 9: eight years, but it's probably more than that. They started

534
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 9: taking the numbers Susie thirty eight years ago, right, but

535
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 9: the most in thirty years, probably the most ever.

536
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 7: I don't know, but we have record setting.

537
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 9: Young people that want to join the military, and that's incredible.

538
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 9: To have that is just absolutely incredible.

539
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 7: And to think that.

540
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 9: Eight months ago we were all listening to the fact

541
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 9: that this was before the election. Eight months ago, we

542
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 9: were listening to the fact that we wouldn't have any

543
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 9: you know, we wouldn't have anybody in I mean nobody, Army, Navy,

544
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 9: Air Force, Marine, Space Force.

545
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 7: I'm so proud of space for us.

546
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 9: We've got that going we started Space Force and they

547
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 9: wanted determinated and the military backed up and they said,

548
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 9: you're not.

549
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 7: Going to do that.

550
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 9: We were third in space and now we're number one

551
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 9: in space by a lot. They've done a great job.

552
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 9: They had some great commanders in space for us. But

553
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 9: you know, ultimately it's going to be truly one of

554
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 9: the most important things we've ever done, because it's all

555
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 9: heading to space. And I'm not talking about just experimental

556
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 9: things that we do because a lot of people don't

557
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 9: understand that. We can understand that, but we're in terms

558
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 9: of defense and offense of our country. It's going to

559
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 9: be very, very important. We're number one in space by

560
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 9: a long shot. The Kennedy Center mission is to be

561
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 9: the crown jewel of the arts and culture in our

562
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 9: nation's capital. And under our new leadership, we're going to

563
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 9: take this revered institution to heights that it's never seen before.

564
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 9: I think we can take this to really some because

565
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 9: we have the right place. We have the we have

566
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 9: all politicians, and then we have the people that want

567
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 9: to get to know the politicians for lots of bad reasons.

568
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 9: And you know, we have everybody here. They have to

569
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 9: be here for something sometime. I've got total confidence in

570
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 9: the just great team that Rick and the group have

571
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 9: put together.

572
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 7: Sergio's done fantastically.

573
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 9: We're especially pleased to be joined tonight by Secretary of

574
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 9: State Marco Rubio. Great guy knows I'm telling you, he

575
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 9: was born for this. He loves it.

576
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 7: You see him.

577
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 9: He's in one country another country. I think he loves it.

578
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 9: But he's so respected everywhere he goes. And I know

579
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 9: how tough he is because I used to have to

580
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 9: be up there with him.

581
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 7: He was not nice.

582
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 9: He was a tough one. He was as good as

583
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 9: you get. I didn't know that it would that we

584
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 9: would end up being this clubs would actually we like

585
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 9: each other.

586
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 7: I think I can speak for him.

587
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 9: I can speak for myself, but he's I like him,

588
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 9: and he's done a fantastic job, and he's really really

589
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 9: working and we're getting relationships that we lost that were

590
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 9: very important for us in many ways. And so I

591
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 9: want to thank Marco and Marco's on the board Attorney

592
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:39,960

593
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 9: she's married to the best looking guy in the room.

594
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 9: I must there, but she is the man she has

595
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 9: been amazing. She's so respected and she's you know, really

596
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 9: delving into some tough territory. She sees what's happened and

597
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 9: what's going to happen, and she knows before anybody else.

598
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 9: She's just a fantastic person and she's got a great

599
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 9: staff that's surrounding her. And I think she's just a star.

600
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 9: But I've known that for a long time. I'm not

601

Speaker 9: it on an even bigger Who would have thought it

609
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 9: would have been a much bigger level, right, but she

610
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,000

00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 7: Someday you'll explain to me why.

627
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 9: Probably insider trading, Pam, I don't know, it's probably, but

628
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 9: whatever the hell reason, he was there always at five

629
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 9: thirty or six o'clock and first time ever, like almost ever.

630
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 9: His wife was after him for years to take their

631
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 9: son to school. He was a young boy, very young,

632
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 9: like early grades, and he would say, no, I can't

633
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 9: get This was years after like two or three years

634
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 9: of being harassed by Alison. Was very tough, great wife,

635
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 9: beautiful wife, but she's very, very tough. And finally he

636
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 9: did it, took his boy and it was on that

637
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 9: day and he dropped the boy off at eight thirty

638
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 9: and started driving down the West.

639
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 7: Side Highway and he would have been in that building.

640
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 9: And every single person died in your firm, every single

641
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 9: he had lost everybody and with the exception of a

642
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 9: few people in Europe and maybe a couple of other

643
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 9: places small because they were all very New York centric,

644
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 9: and every single one of them died, including your brother.

645
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 7: And what he did was incredible.

646
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 9: Actually, he rebuilt the firm and he gave a percentage

647
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 9: of it for years to the people, the families of

648
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 9: the people that died, and the new firm became more

649
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 9: successful than the old firm, using the same name Canter Fitzgerald.

650
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 9: And he rebuilt it step by step by step.

651
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 7: And I mean, that's to me.

652
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 9: That's why I said, I have to get this guy

653
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 9: if I have a chance.

654
00:31:59,040 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 7: That I ever do.

655
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 9: And he was very happy. They were doing great, they

656
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 9: were doing record business. But when I said, how about

657
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 9: coming over to commerce, a little thing called commerce, and

658
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 9: now I don't think you could ever go back into

659
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 9: that world because it's so big. He's he and Scott

660
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 9: are in charge of along with others that are great,

661
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 9: but they're in charge of the biggest deal ever made

662
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 9: in history.

663
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 7: It's the whole tariffs.

664
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 9: We've taken in trillions of dollars trillions, and we've been

665
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 9: hurt very badly by other countries that did this to us.

666
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 9: For twenty twenty five years, they were taking advantage of us.

667
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 7: We never did anything.

668
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: But now we're.

669
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 9: Doing it to them, and fairly, I'll tell you what, modestly,

670
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 9: but we'll be taking and we are taking in right

671
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 9: now twenty five percent of cars, twenty five percent on

672
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 9: steel and aluminum, twenty five percent on other things, and

673
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 9: that'll be going up to fifty seventy five, maybe one

674
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 9: hundred in some cases. We have to get our pharmaceutical

675
00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 9: industry back. Once we establish that another couple of weeks,

676
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 9: it'll start roaring back. It's already roaring back because I

677
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 9: know we're doing it, and it's really been You've done

678
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 9: a great job. But he said to me today, this

679
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 9: is so big. These numbers are big. Cannifit sheild doesn't

680
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 9: look so big anymore. We see numbers in the we

681
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 9: talk in the trillions now think of it, five point

682
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 9: one trillion dollars. Nobody talks, but we're talking big numbers.

683
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 9: And he's doing a great job. He did a great

684
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 9: job before Chief of staff. Susie wellsch she's considered the

685
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 9: most powerful woman anywhere over there. She is just the

686
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 9: most powerful woman in the world. A lot of people

687
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 9: are saying that. But she had a couple of articles

688
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 9: and I said, you know, it's actually true. She can

689
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 9: wipe out a country with just a mere phone call.

690
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 7: That's the end of the country where she's great. She's been.

691
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 9: I mean, I knew because we won Florida three times

692
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 9: and wanted it. Didn't used to be a red stead.

693
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 9: It was a blue state when I first ran, that

694
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 9: was a blue state, and now it's a seriously red state.

695
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 7: And it got more and more and we're going to

696
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 7: keep it that way.

697
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 9: But Susie ran it, and we won by a landslide,

698
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,479
Speaker 9: and Republican hadn't won. You know, you had a Democrat center,

699
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 9: you had two Democrat senators, but you.

700
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 7: Had a Democrat governor.

701
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 9: You had a lot of Democrats, and so we wanted

702
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 9: a landslide.

703
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 7: I said, good. Then the next time I.

704
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 9: Won it again in a much bigger landslide, and anybody

705
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 9: I endorsed also one, and I said that's good. And

706
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 9: then when it came time to do this, after the

707
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 9: election was rigged, the second one.

708
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 7: It was rigged.

709
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 9: Whether you like it or that, it was rigged like

710
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 9: nobody's ever seen. And now people are seeing it now.

711
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 9: People don't even fight me.

712
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 7: You know. They used to say, sure, it's not really

713
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 7: nice to say. I'm gonna honest. It was rigged, and

714
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 7: unfortunately that's what happened.

715
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 9: You look at some of the things that happened. All

716
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 9: of these things would have never happened. But when it

717
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 9: came time to thinking about doing it again, I didn't

718
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 9: think i'd have to do that. I said, you know,

719
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 9: I think I can take that woman my friend now.

720
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 9: But at the time I didn't know. Her father was

721
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 9: Pat Sumerle, who was a great football player, was probably

722
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 9: a greater announcer for twenty eight years for the NFL.

723
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 9: But that told me, you know, because I'm a big

724
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 9: believer in the jeans person's genes and Susie was, I said,

725
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 9: you know, let's use Susie. She did a great job

726
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 9: in Florida for me twice we beat every Democrat by

727
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 9: numbers that they never saw before. I said, let's use

728
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 9: and she took over and she did great. Chris was fantastic,

729
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 9: but she had a group of people that she brought

730
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 9: with her and there was no looking back.

731
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 7: We started off leading by a lot, and it only

732
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 7: got bigger and bigger and bigger.

733
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 9: We got a couple of challenges that didn't work out

734
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 9: too well, worked out well for us, but Susie was fantastic.

735
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 9: And now she's the chief of staff of the President

736
00:35:58,760 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 9: and she.

737
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 7: Makes it work. And she's the first woman.

738
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 9: This is shocking to me because you know, so we

739
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 9: were beyond that first woman chief of SEF in the

740
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 9: history of the country. Right, And she's doing a great job.

741
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 9: And you know, those men are scared. She sits in

742
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 9: the she sits in the back of the room. She

743
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 9: watches them like this. She doesn't want publicities, she doesn't

744
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 9: want to be on camera, she doesn't want stories. But

745
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 9: they're up there yap and yap and yeap, and and

746
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 9: if they start yapping the wrong way, it's not pleasant

747
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 9: for them.

748
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 7: She's she's great.

749
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 9: And we have a friend of mine man that I

750
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 9: endorsed and he bradly went through the roof of Jeff Landry,

751
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 9: Governor of Louisiana. Where did my endorsement mean much? When

752
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 9: I endorsed you? He became a rocket ship?

753
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 7: Right? We avoided I say.

754
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 9: It in the first round.

755
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's good.

756
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 9: We didn't want to run if we didn't want to

757
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 9: go a second round. He just he went up and

758
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 9: won everything. And he's the great, great governor, great attorney general,

759
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 9: great governor.

760
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 7: So it's great to have you. And we have so

761
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 7: many people here that we're not going to do that.

762
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 9: But we may play around in a little while because

763
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 9: we're gonna have some fun tonight and we'll talk about this,

764
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 9: but we'll talk about other things, but we might talk about.

765
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 7: Some of the questions you may have.

766
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 9: We're looking to get the one great, big, beautiful bill.

767
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 9: It will be the greatest tax cuts in history. If

768
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 9: we don't get it, that means the Democrats will have

769
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 9: stopt us, and that means people will get a sixty

770
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 9: eight percent tax increase, the largest in history. And if

771
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 9: we do get it, we're gonna have the largest tax

772
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 9: decrease in history. And all my life I've watched politicians

773
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 9: screaming we will cut your taxes. This is the only

774
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 9: group where they say we're going to raise your taxes

775
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 9: and they think they're going to win. There's something wrong

776
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 9: with them. I don't know what the hell is going, well,

777
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 9: we're going to raise your taxes, and people said, that's strange.

778
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 9: I've never heard it before. Well, we took over in

779
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 9: recent months. The Kennedy Center was in dire shape. As

780
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 9: I saw on my tour a few weeks ago, the

781
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 9: building is falling apart. I don't want to make I

782
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 9: don't want to scare people. It's fine shape, but it's

783
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 9: falling apart. That means, you know, we have to see

784
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 9: you know, we have le Miz, we're opening up with

785
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 9: Limz and some other things. We have Miss Fisher, missus

786
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 9: Fisher here and she said, you know what works anything Broadway?

787
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 9: So we're signing Phantom of the Opera. We're signing a

788
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 9: lot of great Broadway. We'll have him run for a while.

789
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 7: I think we're going to be very well.

790
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 9: But it's been neglected very badly, and it needs an

791
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 9: infusion of different things, including probably funds. But I think

792
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 9: we're going to do very well when we get some

793
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 9: money from Congress to fix it, because it's so important.

794
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 9: The previous leadership wasted millions and millions of dollars and

795
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 9: handed us a budget deficit of twenty six million dollars.

796
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 9: Can you that in addition, the programming was out of

797
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 9: control with rampant political propaganda DEI and inappropriate shows.

798
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 7: We had some very inappropriate shows, to put.

799
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 9: It, I think, to put it very nicely, they had

800
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 9: dance parties for quote queer and trans youth, and I

801
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 9: guess that's all right for certain people. Quote I'm just quoting,

802
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 9: I'm not saying it. Queer and trans youth. That wasn't

803
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 9: working out too well. They had a Marxist anti police performance,

804
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 9: and they had lesbian only Shakespeare, which is difficult.

805
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 7: Who thinks of these ideas? Really it's different.

806
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 9: Oh, we're bringing our country back so fast. The military

807
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 9: is so much better than everything.

808
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 7: It's just gone.

809
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 9: They had people were paying them four five hundred thousand

810
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 9: a year to teach DEI. Just twelve weeks. Our new

811
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 9: board has balanced the budget. Think of that in twenty

812
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 9: twenty six budget. That's a pretty good that's a pretty

813
00:39:58,960 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 9: good job.

814
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 7: So that's amazing.

815
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 9: So the twenty twenty six I told you it was

816
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 9: twenty five million unders balanced.

817
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 7: Now for the fiscal year.

818
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 9: Eliminated DEI initiatives in all cases, brought back family friendly

819
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 9: programming that will attract large audiences once again. In launch

820
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 9: day plan to renovate the building and reclaim the grandeur

821
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 9: as a landmarker really in Washington, landmark.

822
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 7: Which it always was.

823
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 9: The Kennedy Center will also play an important role in

824
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 9: our national celebration to commemorate the two hundred and fiftieth

825
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 9: anniversary of America's founding.

826
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 7: So we have three really big we have that.

827
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 9: We have the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America's founding.

828
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 9: That's a big deal. And we have the Olympics, and

829
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 9: we have the World Cup. And you know, maybe I

830
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 9: got lucky because I got the Olympics and I got

831
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 9: the World Cup. I did nothing to help the two

832
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 9: hundred and fiftieth anniversary, because if I take credit for

833
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 9: that one, then you'll say, I think he's exaggerating. But

834
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 9: two of the three, I absolutely I got the Olympics,

835
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 9: I got the World Cup. And I said to myself

836
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 9: when I got him, it was my first term.

837
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 7: I got him.

838
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 9: President Obama would not take the calls from the Olympic committee,

839
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 9: refused to take the calls, and I think because he

840
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 9: traveled to Oslo or wherever he went, and very far

841
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 9: away in order to get the Olympics. The previous Olympics,

842
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 9: and I said, well, that's great. That means we got it,

843
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 9: because what president would travel to come in fourth place,

844
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 9: which is what we came in fourth place, And so

845
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 9: he was so angry he wouldn't take the call. So

846
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 9: I got a call from at the time the mayor

847
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 9: of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is not looking too good

848
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 9: with what the water. We just sent so much water

849
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 9: down their way. They didn't want to take it because

850
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 9: it was bad.

851
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 7: For the environment. They said, the water's good for the environment.

852
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 9: They would have had it when I told him to

853
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 9: get it. They wouldn't have had the fire would have

854
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 9: been very small. But we took so much. And we

855
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 9: were looking at the Olympics.

856
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 7: We're looking at other things.

857
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 9: And Obama went there and all that travel, all that everything,

858
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 9: and think, who would go there unless you know the answer.

859
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 9: You have to know the answer. You can't be embarrassed.

860
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 9: No president's ever done that. And I give him credit

861
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 9: he went, but he should have known the answer this

862
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 9: cool deal making, and he didn't, and they put him

863
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 9: at forth and he was so angry that it hurt

864
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 9: his whole thing.

865
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 7: He didn't want to talk to anybody.

866
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 9: So I got a call from the mayor and he said, sir,

867
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 9: you're the president elect. I was president elected at the time.

868
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 9: The president will not speak to the Olympic Committee. And

869
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 9: I understand that, but a little bit his fault. I

870
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 9: guess he was very embarrassed by that. And I said,

871
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 9: I'll speak to him. And I spoke to this gentleman

872
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 9: who was obviously Scandinavian, seriously Scandinavian and very nice. I

873
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 9: couldn't get him off the phone because he was so

874
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 9: starved for low he just kept I Mussa had him

875
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 9: for two hours.

876
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 7: I couldn't.

877
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 9: I said, sir, I have to go. I president elect.

878
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 9: Yes all I said to him, yes, yes, yes, we

879
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 9: will take good care. They wanted to know that if

880
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 9: they choose us for the Olympics, will they will we

881
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 9: treat him nicely and I said, we're going to treat

882
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 9: you like so well, like you've never been treated. And

883
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 9: then he wanted to talk about anything, because nobody would

884
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 9: talk to him.

885
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 7: Now he talks to me. And we got the.

886
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 9: Olympics, and then we got through Johnny, who's the boss.

887
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 9: We got he's a friend of mine. We got the

888
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 9: World Cup. I got them both and I said, man,

889
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 9: I won't be president.

890
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 7: I won't.

891
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 9: I got the Olympics and the World Cup, and I

892
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 9: won't be president.

893
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 7: And they're going to forget that I got him.

894
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 9: Nobody's going to mention it because, you know a little bit,

895
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 9: that's the way life is. And then they rigged the election.

896
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 9: And then I said, you know what I'll do. I'll

897
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 9: run again and I'll shove.

898
00:43:54,880 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 7: It up their ass. And that's what I did. And

899
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 7: all of a sudden.

900
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 9: I then realized, I said, you know what, I got

901
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 9: the Olympics, I got the World Cup, and I got

902
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 9: the two hundred and fifties.

903
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 7: Look at the way this works out.

904
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 9: So if they would have left us alone and wouldn't

905
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 9: have cheated on the election and wouldn't have rigged it,

906
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 9: I would have been retired right now.

907
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:21,479
Speaker 7: I would have been.

908
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 9: Happily doing something else. And instead they have me for

909
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 9: four more years.

910
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 7: Can you be so?

911
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: It has? You know?

912
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 9: So instead of putting forward programming that tears our country

913
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 9: down and tears our country apart, the Kennedy Center should

914
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 9: be the nation's premier venue for lifting up the best

915
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 9: of our country and lifting up the American arts, theater, music,

916
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 9: and culture, and together it's really an honor to be

917
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 9: like I mean, I have so many friends on the board.

918
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 9: It's a hot board, just like we have a hot country.

919
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 9: You know, we have a hot country. We had our

920
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 9: country was stone cold eight months ago. It all began

921
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 9: on November fifth. Everybody know that that was the election day.

922
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 9: And from that moment on and then January twentieth came,

923
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 9: and what we've done. You know, we have almost no inflation.

924
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 9: Our energy prices are way down, our gasoline.

925
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 7: Costs the way down. Groceries are way down. Eggs.

926
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 9: Remember they hit me with eggs my first week, sir,

927
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 9: the Thaking News. Those people right there, they're saying, sir, eggs,

928
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 9: I've gone through the roof. They were doubling and tripling eggs.

929
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 7: I said, I don't know what I've just got here,

930
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 7: excuse me.

931
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 9: And through our grade. She's done a great job. Brook Rowlins,

932
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 9: Secretary of Agriculture. Anyway, the prices came down. They didn't

933
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 9: want us, so we had the egg roll here a

934
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 9: couple of weeks ago for Easter. They didn't want us

935
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 9: to order eggs. They wanted the eggs to be made

936
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 9: out of plastic. They wanted plastics. I said, I'm not

937
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 9: going to do that. But by the time it came around,

938
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 9: the egg prices are way down, the groceries are way down.

939
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,439
Speaker 7: Everything. Wait, we are just doing great. We think of it.

940
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 9: No inflation, and we're take it in billions, hundreds of

941
00:45:58,160 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 9: billions of dollars in tariffs.

942
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 7: I did before. We got a hot country.

943
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 9: Right now, we have a country that people are proud

944
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 9: to be a part of. So we're going to honor

945
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 9: the legacy of President Kennedy.

946
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 7: It's a great legacy.

947
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 9: And we'll create the best and most beautiful home for

948
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 9: the performing arts anywhere in the country, and many other things. Also,

949
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 9: I want to thank you again. We're going to have

950
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 9: some fun working together. It's going to make this a

951
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 9: fun project. That's what I thought until I walked into

952
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 9: the building. I said, this won't be the fun I thought,

953
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 9: But it is fun. I like to create. You like

954
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 9: to create. Most of the people in the room like

955
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 9: to create, just like Bob Kraft created.

956
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 7: The New England Patriots. Happens to be here.

957
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 9: And he tells me, here's a great new quarterback. So

958
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 9: we're going to see. You know, a lot of people

959
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 9: make that statement. We're going to find out. But I

960
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 9: have a feeling you're going to be right. You've been

961
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 9: right about a lot of things. But he was right

962
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 9: about tom Brady, right, he got him almost last draft

963
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 9: choice in the last round, sixth round, whatever it was.

964
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 7: How did he work out? Tom Brady? Okay? How bad?

965
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 10: Right?

966
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 9: But Bob's here and his wife, as you know, Dannis,

967
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 9: she's on the board and she's much younger than him,

968
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 9: so he wanted to come tonight with her.

969
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 7: Isn't it nice?

970
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 9: Is it nice when you have a husband that will

971
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 9: travel with you to the board. And he's a big

972
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 9: shot too, and he's a great guy.

973
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 7: He's been my friend for a long time.

974
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 9: So I'd like to ask if I might secretary of

975
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 9: Rubio and followed by we're going to ask Sergia to

976
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 9: say a couple of words, and then Rick Reynell and

977
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 9: we'll have a little fun tonight. And you know what

978
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 9: they can do, if they can relatively quietly, they can

979
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 9: start serving the meal.

980
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 7: So by the time we're all finished, we get the

981
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:37,280
Speaker 7: hell out.

982
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 9: Of here, we go home and we have our board

983
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 9: all four and we can start.

984
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 7: Doing that quietly. And so Marco please come up.

985
00:47:44,800 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 9: And say if you were psank everybody.

986
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 11: Well, thank you all for being here tonight. It's an

987
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 11: unusual day.

988
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 9: You know.

989
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 11: It's not often you wake up in the morning and

990
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 11: your first meeting is with the Pope and your last

991
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 11: meeting is a dinner with the President United's Day.

992
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 7: That the heck of a day.

993
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 11: But it actually is an honor to be a part

994
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 11: of this administration, mister President.

995
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 10: It's actually a very unique situation.

996
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 11: I don't know how many of you got to see

997
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 11: the President's speech in Saudi Arabia. I think it will

998
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 11: go down as one of the most profound foreign policy speeches.

999
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 10: In American history. And we're at outlined a vision.

1000
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 11: For the future and a vision of prosperity, and I

1001
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,919
Speaker 11: tell people we have a president of peace. In fact,

1002
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 11: I'll tell you kind of an aside. One of the

1003
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 11: cardinals I was meeting with mister President the day before

1004
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 11: the papal mask said to me, you know, it's very

1005
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 11: unusual for us. It's, you know, we have an American

1006
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 11: president that wants peace, and it's some of the Europeans

1007
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 11: that are constantly talking about doing war stuff. So it's

1008
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 11: kind of the world's upside down in their mind right now.

1009
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 11: Is usually the other way around, and it's a great

1010
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 11: honor to work for a president who literally spends half

1011
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 11: his day maybe more trying to stop wars and wars

1012
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 11: prevent wars, and it's an extraordinary thing to be a

1013
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 11: part of. And thank you for your leadership on that front.

1014
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 11: He's a a key part of the speech he gave,

1015
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 11: and I just summarize it this way. Our president is

1016
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 11: a builder, not a bomber.

1017
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 10: He wants to make things. He wants to build things.

1018
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 11: He wants people to have prosperity and.

1019
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 10: To be happy.

1020
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 11: And frankly, he knows we have to have national defense

1021
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 11: because of course that's the world we live in. But

1022
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 11: I think one of the things that troubles him deeply

1023
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 11: is how much money it has to be spent on

1024
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 11: some of his military and war because it's just the

1025
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 11: way the nature of the world is. He'd much rather

1026
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 11: be spending growing the economy and doing the deals that

1027
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 11: we've seen, and he's trying to convince other countries of

1028
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 11: that as well. It's an honor to be a part

1029
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 11: of this tonight for a few moments, because you have

1030
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 11: an opportunity here. You know, the Kennedy Center is a

1031
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 11: showcase of American excellence. In arts and culture, and that's

1032
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 11: what it needs to be. Again, the work that Rick

1033
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 11: and his team are doing both to bring the building

1034
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 11: and the actual function of the organization to.

1035
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 10: Reflect that. But the programming is the other thing.

1036
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 11: We're really excited to see the programming, the shows that

1037
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 11: are coming that will be a highlight of American excellence

1038
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 11: and of American culture and American entertainment and just so

1039
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 11: you know, the influence that American culture has around the

1040
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 11: world in a positive way. A few months ago, the

1041
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 11: President hosted the Prime Minister of Italy down in Florida,

1042
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 11: and her English is excellent, very good English.

1043
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 10: And I asked her, why is your English so good?

1044
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 10: How it was really good?

1045
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 11: You know what she said, You know she learned English

1046
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 11: Michael Jackson, not from.

1047
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 10: Him, not like personally, he wasn't doing the lessons from

1048
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 10: his music. But what it tells you is.

1049
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 11: The impact that American culture has on the world in

1050
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 11: such a positive way, and it can have such an influence,

1051
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 11: and the Kennedy Center is a showcase for it. So

1052
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 11: we're excited to see what you're leading here and all

1053
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 11: of you contributing towards that, and we're excited to see

1054
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 11: also the restoration of that building that really should be

1055
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 11: a showcase and something that we're proud of that when

1056
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 11: people come to Washington, when people come to America, they

1057
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 11: want to see the shows that reflect the greatness of

1058
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 11: our culture and society, and in the building run by

1059
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 11: an organization that is reflective of excellence as well. So

1060
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 11: it's an honor to be here tonight. I want to

1061
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 11: thank all of you for contributing to this because it's

1062
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 11: important at this board and everyone that's involved in it,

1063
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 11: and Rick and his team are doing a great job

1064
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 11: of making sure that your dollars and all everything you've

1065
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 11: made possible will be well spent, so we'll have a

1066
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 11: treasure in our hands for future generations. I think, Sergia,

1067
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 11: you want to come up here now and tell us

1068
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 11: about Sergio Gore personneality.

1069
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 7: Good evening.

1070
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 3: It's an honor to be here with all of you.

1071
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 12: We're here to honor the spirit that makes America exceptional.

1072
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 12: Under President Trump's leadership, we're witnessing the revitalization of American

1073
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 12: culture returns to the values that fueler greatness. I can't

1074
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 12: think of a better chairman the Kennedy Center than President Trump,

1075
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 12: and a lot of you know.

1076
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 7: A lot of you know.

1077
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 12: His incredible record when it comes to dealing with these

1078
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 12: individuals who become American icons. So from Michael Jackson to

1079
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 12: hosting Pavarotti many times, to Andre Bacelli, to incredible individuals that.

1080
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 7: Have changed the landscape of art and music.

1081
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 12: A couple of years ago, we were publishing a book

1082
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 12: and it was called Letters to Trump, and we would

1083
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 12: open a box that's been closed for decades, and the

1084
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 12: letters that would show up in these boxes were just

1085
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 12: absolutely incredible. And there was a letter from nineteen eighty

1086
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 12: six and it was written to Dear Donald, I have

1087
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 12: a new show opening up and I'd love for you

1088
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 12: to attend. It's called Phantom of the Opera, Signed Andrew

1089
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 12: Lloyd Webber. And so there's nobody more qualified to lead

1090
00:52:55,760 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 12: this institution than President Donald Trump America. He had an

1091
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 12: incredible run for the last two hundred and fifty years

1092
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 12: minus the last four under previous administration, and so we

1093
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 12: hope under his leadership, under his vision, under this entire team,

1094
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 12: the next two to fifty will be just this great.

1095
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 12: I want to thank all the individuals who have contributed

1096
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 12: to the Kennedy Center. Hower Lutnik seven figure donation. Thank you,

1097
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 12: and we have a lot of other individuals who are.

1098
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 10: Looking to contribute.

1099
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 7: Anthony hear nothing but cash. We know that.

1100
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 12: With that, I want to bring up our incredible director

1101
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 12: who's leading up the day to day activities of the

1102
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 12: Kennedy Center, Ambassador rich Ronell.

1103
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 7: I'll be very quick.

1104
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 13: First of all, how great is it to have a

1105
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 13: president who actually cares about the art center. That's what

1106
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 13: I love best is that he actually cares. He came,

1107
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 13: he saw the problem, and he immediately said, I'm going

1108
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 13: to call Congress and we're going to try.

1109
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 7: To fix it.

1110
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 13: This is traditionally a Democrat territory, except President Trump says

1111
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 13: I want to do this. I have to tell you,

1112
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 13: President Trump is actually saving the Kennedy Center because there

1113
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 13: is discussion right now of whether or not to take

1114
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 13: it down. The deferred maintenance of the Kennedy Center is criminal.

1115
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 13: It has been terrible, mister President. We said today in

1116
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 13: our board meeting, our great new CFO went through the

1117
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,959
Speaker 13: twenty four and twenty five budgets of the Kennedy Center

1118
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 13: and found twenty six million dollars in phantom revenue, fake revenue.

1119
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 13: It's criminal. We're going to refer this to the US

1120
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 13: Attorney's office.

1121
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 7: Here.

1122
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 13: We're lucky enough to have the Attorney General on the

1123
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 13: board of the Kennedy Center who heard all the details today.

1124
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 13: She heard the details, and this is unacceptable in America.

1125
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 13: To have a fake revenue of twenty six million dollars,

1126
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 13: fraud on previous donors.

1127
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 3: It's unacceptable.

1128
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 13: But I'm here to tell you that what we have

1129
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 13: is total transparency. Now we want people to go through

1130
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 13: the budget. We want them to question it. We announced

1131
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 13: our program today, which is literally shocking the media because

1132
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 13: they're saying, Okay, this is pretty good. We're not getting

1133
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 13: criticized for the programming because guess what, mister President, When

1134
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 13: you pick programs that are popular with the public, they respond,

1135
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 13: people buy tickets. It is popular when you do programming

1136
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 13: for the masses. As I said today, I am somebody

1137
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 13: who loves niche programming in the arts. I am somebody

1138
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 13: who embraces it. It's not for everybody, but I like

1139
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,919
Speaker 13: to be challenged by the arts. I like it when

1140
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 13: somebody can teach me and make me a little bit

1141
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 13: uncomfortable in a show. But one thing that we're not

1142
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 13: going to do at the Kennedy Center is inappropriate content

1143
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 13: for children. We're going to protect children, and we're going

1144
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:24,720
Speaker 13: to make sure that we are absolutely not losing money

1145
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 13: on our program. We can't do arts education if we

1146
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 13: don't have enough money and we have fake revenue coming in.

1147
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 13: So I promise you and this board today responded incredibly well.

1148
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 13: I can't thank you all enough. Jennifer, thank you for

1149
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 13: being the chair, thank you for every single board member.

1150
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 13: Your commitment is amazing. And as President Trump said, we're

1151
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 13: going to do great things. Everyone needs to go out

1152
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 13: and buy tickets to les Miz and Porgy and Best,

1153
00:56:54,800 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 13: which are currently being right now to launch. We're building

1154
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 13: the stages and we're getting ready to have premiere entertainment

1155
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 13: at America's premier arts institution. Thank you very much.

1156
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 2: Folks, what you're looking at is the Kennedy Center board

1157
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 2: meeting where President Trump just finished up talking. And then

1158
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 2: of course you had Marco Rubio and Rick Grennell, all

1159
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 2: very powerful people in Washington. Rick Renell breaking some news

1160
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 2: there by the way, twenty six million dollars of fake revenue.

1161
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: Coming into the Kennedy Center. Think about this. If you're

1162
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: a donor to the Kennedy Center, and you.

1163
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 2: Just found out that they had twenty six million dollars

1164
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 2: of fake revenue. Well where was your donor money going?

1165
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 2: How was this staying afloat? I actually do believe it's fraud.

1166
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 2: And as he said, thank god that Pambondi is on.

1167
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: The board of Kennedy Centers. You heard it firsthand.

1168
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 2: As Rick Ronell said, all right, I want to talk

1169
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 2: just a little bit, almost out of time, but President

1170
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 2: Trump had a hell of a call with Vladimir Putin today.

1171
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 2: I told you that peace through prosperity is a very

1172
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 2: real way to get world peace.

1173
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: When you start ensuring that all of these rogue.

1174
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 2: Nations are profitable, if they behave, all of a sudden,

1175
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 2: they start doing things you want them to do. This

1176
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 2: is what President Trump said about his phone call two

1177
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 2: and a half hour phone call with Vladimir Putin, the

1178
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 2: President of Russia.

1179
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 7: Today.

1180
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 9: It's spent two and a half hours talking to Vladimir Putin,

1181
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 9: and I think some progress has been made. It's a

1182
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 9: terrible situation going on over there. Five thousand young people

1183
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 9: every single week of being killed. So hopefully we did something.

1184
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 9: We also spoke to the heads of most of the

1185
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 9: European nations. We're trying to get that whole thing prapped.

1186
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 9: Floodiest shame that it ever started in the first place.

1187
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: It sure is.

1188
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 2: You want to know what most of the talks centered around. Hey,

1189
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 2: you two start peace talks. Ukraine Russia. Russia has agreed

1190
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 2: to immediately start peace talks. If you get peace, we

1191
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 2: will start doing trade deals. The United States will with

1192
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 2: Russia and Ukraine. Vladimir Putin was adamant he wanted to

1193
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 2: engage in trade with the United States. Why because he

1194
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 2: knows you can make money off of this great country

1195
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 2: of ours. This is peace through prosperity. President Trump has

1196
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 2: perfected the art of the deal local coincidence.

1197
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: He wrote a book on that.

1198
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 2: That's going to do it for us today. Thanks so

1199
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 2: much for Watchingstonfield's Army Roles.

1200
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you. Will see you tomorrow night,

1201
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: seven pm Eastern time. Thanks for watching.
