1
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: Well, good evening everyone, Well the mestagial Hey, hey, hey,

2
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: the stock market soaring?

3
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: What a rise?

4
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean, a rise in everything, Arise in my attitude,

5
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: a rise in my finances, arise in numbers. Why, because

6
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: President Trump is willing to pivot when he sees he

7
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: needs to pivot.

8
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: He also knows what the art of the deal is about.

9
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: So the stock market jumped twenty nine hundred points for

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: the Dow Jones industrial average.

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: It's huge.

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: The S and P five hundred up nearly ten percent,

13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: its biggest gain in history. So this sets a lot

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: of people's fears at ease seeing the stock market going

15
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: back in the right direction. All of this comes when

16
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: President Trump announced a ninety day pause in the tariffs

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: two nations that were open to negotiating with him, over

18
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: seventy of them have said they wanted to come to

19
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: the table and negotiate.

20
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 2: So President Trump says, you know.

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: What, We'll put a minimum tariff of ten percent on

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: and we'll pause the retaliatory tariffs for ninety days while

23
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: we negotiate this out stock market rally.

24
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: What he didn't do was take off the tariffs off China.

25
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: In fact, China offered more retaliatory tariffs so on us.

26
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: So Trump doubles down and raises the tariffs on China

27
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: to one hundred and twenty four percent. We'll talk about

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: that in a moment, but this is President Trump.

29
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: There's a lot of winning out there, and we're having

30
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: a good day in the stock market, as you can see,

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: an all time record day, and.

32
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: Hopefully it continues.

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: I think it should.

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: Country is stronger than it's ever been.

35
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: And he had to do that with we had to

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: take the medicine when you go through the operation, and

37
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: this is what we've been through, and a lot of

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: presidents would not have done it.

39
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: No president would have done it.

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: I think, mister President, your strength and resolve here is

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: what got us to this point. We now have over

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: seventy nations coming to the bargaining table, so now America

43
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: will be finally put on a level playing field.

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: This is absolutely fabulous.

45
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: So again, what we witnessed today from President Trump is

46
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: the ability to pivot, the ability to change a game plan.

47
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: That is all part of the Art of the Deal.

48
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: He wrote the book The Art of the Deal. Apparently

49
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: the mainstream media didn't read it. But what President Trump

50
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: did to the world to show that he is serious

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: about putting America first and no longer being the piggy bank.

52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: For the world. So the world freaked out.

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Now and now they are all coming to the table,

54
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: let me play Cut one from the Trump inside the

55
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: Oval Office. Maybe this may have not been at the

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: Oval Office, but cut one from President Trump.

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 5: Well, I thought that people were jumping a little bit

58
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 5: out of line.

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: They were getting yippie, you know, they're getting a little

60
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 4: bit yippy, a little bit afraid, unlike these champions, because

61
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 4: we have a big job to do. No other president

62
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: would have done to what I did. No other president

63
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 4: I know the presidents, they wouldn't have done it, and

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 4: it had to be done. What was happening to us

65
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: on trade?

66
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: So great news.

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: He's got the Daytona five hundred winners there and he

68
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: makes a change. Now he makes a change because you've

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: got to have flexibility. President Trump doesn't want to see

70
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: everybody lose hundreds of thousands of dollars something like I

71
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: think I heard a number sixteen trillion dollars in market

72
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: cap lost in the stock market.

73
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: A lot of that came back today, President Trump. Cut two.

74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: Question of that you have that flexibility, I could say

75
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: here's a wall, and I'm gonna go through that wall.

76
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go through it no matter what, and keep going.

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 4: And you can't go through the wall. Sometimes you have

78
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: to be able to go under the wall, around the wall,

79
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 4: or over the wall. These guys know that better than anybody, right.

80
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: So one of the great things that President Trump did

81
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: is he's not backing down from China. And this is

82
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: so important. He continues to take the fight to China. Literally,

83
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: as Caroline Levitt says, you know, if you're gonna punch America,

84
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: president Trump's gonna punch back twice as hard.

85
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: And that's what he's doing with China. Now.

86
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: He raised the tariffs on China to one hundred and

87
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 1: twenty four percent. But this is what makes me so happy,

88
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: and I need to listen to me very carefully here

89
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: this all of you should take solace from the markets

90
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: reacted soaring, not unfixing our problems with China, but on

91
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: really the potential of fixing our problems with the the world.

92
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: It discounted China.

93
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: Apparently the markets didn't care that we don't have a

94
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: deal with China. Everybody was freaking out. We get everything

95
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: from China, everything comes in, but the market's still soared

96
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: even without a deal with China. Xijingping needs to be

97
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: very concerned about that because what's discounted here now is China.

98
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: So China sees this, they're not happy.

99
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: We know, I know.

100
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: I think traders today know that of everything we import

101
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: into this country, only fourteen percent, only fourteen percent comes

102
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: from China. They're not gonna have as big an effect

103
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: on this economy as China thinks. Now the other way around,

104
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: China's gross domestic product, most.

105
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: Of it is all exports.

106
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: They export everything, and if they can't export to the

107
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: United States of America, they're gonna have some real problems

108
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: on their hands. So what happened today with all of

109
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: these nations coming to the table, what President Trump did

110
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: was isolate China from the world, from North Korea, excuse me,

111
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: from South Korea, from Japan, from the European Union. China's

112
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: now isolated. This is the Treasury secretary.

113
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 4: And this was his strategy all along.

114
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 6: And that you know, you might even say that he

115
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 6: go to China into a bad position. They responded, they

116
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 6: have shown themselves to the world to be the bad actors,

117
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 6: and we are willing to cooperate with our allies and

118
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 6: with our.

119
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: Trading partners who did not retaliate.

120
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 6: It wasn't a hard message. Don't retaliate, things will turn

121
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 6: out well.

122
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: And that's the message the world got, and I think

123
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: the stock market saw that as well and took off

124
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: on it. Now, when it comes to China, China's lucky.

125
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: They're not listening to Kevin O'Leary, mister wonderful from Shark

126
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: Tank because mister wonderfulle from Shark Tank has a different idea.

127
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: This is a guy that I really respect. Why he's calm,

128
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: he's cool, he's collected, he's very very smart, and when

129
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: he says something, I actually trust what he's saying.

130
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: Here, listen to his idea for China. One hundred and.

131
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 5: Four percent tariffs and China are not enough. I'm advocating

132
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 5: four hundred percent.

133
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: I do business in China.

134
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 5: They don't play by the rules. They've been in the

135
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 5: WHO for decades. They have never abided by any of

136
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 5: the rules they agreed to, and they came in for decades.

137
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 5: They cheat, they steal, they steal ip I can't litigate

138
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 5: in their courts. They take product, technology, they steal it.

139
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 5: They manufacture it and sell it back here.

140
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: He went on to say, we need to take China's

141
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: heads and squeeze them into the wall. I'm telling you,

142
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: I would have ends up like that. I would have

143
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: been you. They'd be writing about.

144
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: It for days.

145
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: But what he's talking about is putting the squeeze on China.

146
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Now if the markets don't react negatively, President Trump increasing

147
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: tariffs on China and basically doing away with them on

148
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the world for this ninety day pause.

149
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 1: Would markets react if we put a four hundred percent

150
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 1: tariff on China? Maybe not, And would, as Kevin O'Leary says,

151
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: would Jijingping then come crawling.

152
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: To the Oval office to make a deal? Maybe, just maybe.

153
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,119
Speaker 1: Here's the Treasury Secretary cup five for the guys behind

154
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: their glass, talking about why this hurts China more than us.

155
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: But what I am certain of.

156
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 6: What I'm certain of is that what China is doing

157
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 6: will affect their economy much more than a will ours,

158
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 6: because they have an export driven flood the world with

159
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 6: cheap export models, and the rest of the world now

160
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 6: understands because when we put up our tariff wall, those

161
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 6: exports were already flowing to the rest of the G

162
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 6: seven and to the Global South.

163
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: All right, so here's what we have to be concerned about.

164
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: Will China lash out? What China does right now is

165
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna tell a lot. And what China could do is

166
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: go to war with someone. Now, if they wanted to

167
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: go to war with someone, It's not gonna be the

168
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: United States, It's gonna be Taiwan. Why would Jixingping go

169
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: to war with Taiwan right now when all the pressures

170
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: are on him. The reason Xixingping would go to war

171
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: with Taiwan right now is because he needs to make

172
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: sure somebody inside the CCP doesn't try to take Xixingping out,

173
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: doesn't try to oust him from power, and if his

174
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: country is at war, he would feel insulated. Even if,

175
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: as Gordon Chang was on this program last night, a

176
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: great expert on China says, Jixingping would be willing to

177
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: take his country.

178
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: Over the edge on all of this one more.

179
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: Time, mister producer, okay, nothing for mister producer, Okay.

180
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: I want to move on now to.

181
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Here's who we should not be taking advice from. This

182
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: Ding Dong Okay, this is representative Hosford. He's a Democrat,

183
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: and he's grilling the US Trade representative under President Trump.

184
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: As news comes out that President Trump is making a

185
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: ninety day pause, he basically has a meltdown.

186
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: Watch this.

187
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 4: What are the details of the pause?

188
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 7: Well, my understanding is that because so many countries have

189
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 7: decided not to retaliate, we're going to have about ninety days.

190
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 8: Now, excuse me, we are the China increase their tariffs

191
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 8: on the United States.

192
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 4: Trump blinked.

193
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 9: What's the blink?

194
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 10: Sir?

195
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: Blinked? Pretty Trump did blink. See, he's so dumb. He

196
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: doesn't even understand what really happened. What happened was he

197
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: lifted the tariffs on every other country and increase them

198
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: on China.

199
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: Your big dope.

200
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: But this is what we're up against. So I want

201
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: to turn now to the spending resolution that is getting

202
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: a vote as we speak.

203
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: Okay, and we're going to keep an eye on that.

204
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't think Speaker Johnson would bring it to the

205
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: floor unless it can win, but you never know. So

206
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: what is this spending resolution? This basically, and this is

207
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: how Washington operates, folks. The spending resolution basically allows Congress

208
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: to then move to the next step of these budget

209
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: negotiations to actually get that big, beautiful bill that President

210
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: Trump wants. The problem is Republicans sent one point five

211
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: trillion in cuts to the Senate. The Senate, in their

212
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: reconciliation process, comes back with you ready for this four

213
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: billion dollars in cuts? Four billion dollars in cuts in Washington, DC,

214
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: I can sneeze four billion dollars in cuts. Elon Musks

215
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: finds four billion dollars while he's unwrapped up is roast.

216
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: By sandwich in Washington, DC. Four billion.

217
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: This is the kind of outrage that I'm talking about here.

218
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: So now you've got Senator Kennedy, who is a guy

219
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: I like, offering up a recommendation of Republicans. You've got

220
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: conservatives who I would think their hard is going to say,

221
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: don't vote for this, but President Trump wants them to

222
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: vote for this phase even without the cuts. President Trump

223
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: has promised he'll find the cuts, He'll back us on

224
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: the cuts so we can fight the bigger battle down

225
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: the road. But again, we're having faith in President Trump here,

226
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: all our eggs in President Trump's basket. Not fair to

227
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: a man who really is carrying this country on his

228
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: shoulders right now, and we're counting on President Trump for

229
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: everything because Congress can't do its job. This is Senator

230
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: Kennedy with his advice to Republican members of the House.

231
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 11: Here's what I predict will happen after the House pastors

232
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 11: to the resolution, and I think it will. If I

233
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 11: were Thune and Johnson, I would give each house about

234
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 11: no more than ninety days and preferably sixty days to

235
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 11: come up with a consensus about what ought to be

236
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 11: in the final bill. Neither side will achieve that.

237
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: Oh, and he says something else that's very important. Neither

238
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: side will achieve it. And you got to bring it

239
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: back to President Trump. Let him go sell it again.

240
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: Who's your daddy? You need President Trump for everything. Look,

241
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: I love President Trump, but give the man a break.

242
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: Do your job, Congress. Now, if you can't do it

243
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: in ninety days and you can't do it in sixty days,

244
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: then why are we even talking about doing it at all?

245
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: Why don't you just.

246
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: Bring it to President Trump, let him figure out the budget,

247
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: and then let him go sell it.

248
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: Now.

249
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: Congress needs all of this time to negotiate this giant, big,

250
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: beautiful bill.

251
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: We've been talking about this.

252
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: For months now. We know what we need from it.

253
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: This should take no longer than a week. We could

254
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: negotiate billion dollar takeovers of publicly traded companies in less

255
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: time than the House of the Senate can negotiate a

256
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: budget bill. To me, it's quite maddening. This is Chip Roy.

257
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: Now he gumes the gears up a little bit. But

258
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: I think he's a principled man. He gets in the

259
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: way sometimes I get it, but here he is.

260
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 12: I think you've got a couple of competing things going on.

261
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 12: You have sort of an old guard legacy Republican view

262
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 12: that still influences the overall population that no matter what,

263
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 12: no matter what anybody says, we must continue to keep

264
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 12: cutting taxes. I subscribe to that view. If you limit government,

265
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 12: I subscribe to that view. If it can be done

266
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 12: the way it was sold, which is Star of the

267
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 12: Beast stops, you know, giving tax revenue to a large

268
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 12: government to expand itself. Well, guess what Republicans failed on

269
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 12: the second part of this, which is shrinking government.

270
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: So what is he going to do?

271
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be a no vote on this because

272
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: he wants to cut spending in order to make for

273
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: the tax cuts. In a perfect world. I'm all for that,

274
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: but look you got Elon Musk. By May thirtieth, he

275
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: says he'll find a trillion dollars in tax cuts. House

276
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: of Representatives offered up a million to one million five

277
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: in tax cuts. The Senate comes back with four billion dollars.

278
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: Next battle around, I'd vote for the bill.

279
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: I'd hold my nose and say, you know what.

280
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: Once again, I'm gonna follow President Trump's lead and we

281
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: can go through it. Okay, But the big, the big battle,

282
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: we better get real, meaningful cuts. Otherwise I'd be in

283
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: the Oval office tail in President Trump. I've done it enough.

284
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: I can't do it anymore. I need the help to

285
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: get real cuts. America needs real cuts.

286
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: Now. How bad is it out there?

287
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: There was a doze hearing today, and this doze hearing

288
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: focused on real estate. Get ready for cut? Twenty two

289
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: guys behind the glass. As they're focusing on real estate,

290
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green opened it up like this.

291
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 8: The federal government owns a massive real estate state portfolio

292
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 8: of more than a quarter million buildings. No one knows

293
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 8: how much of this real estate is actually being put

294
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 8: to use or what it's worth on the open market.

295
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 8: Here's what we do now. Taxpayers spend about ten billion

296
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 8: dollars annually just to operate and maintain all of it.

297
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: It's an insane number.

298
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: Now, you want to know the most egregious thing to

299
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: come out of this hearing this idea that you have

300
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: members of Congress's wives maybe husbands, that own buildings that

301
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: are landlords and guess what they do. They lease back

302
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: to the federal government. So it may not be technically corruption,

303
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: but I believe it's a full on abuse of power.

304
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: It is exploiting your position. You're the landlord for the

305
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: federal government while your husband or wife goes to work. Congress,

306
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: and Tim Burchett laid it out.

307
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 13: Listen to this, mister Hart, to any members of Congress,

308
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 13: their spouses or their immediate family have any property ownership

309
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 13: rights to this property or any federal land.

310
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 7: Congressman, I don't know the answer to that question off the.

311
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: Top of my head.

312
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 13: Okay, the spouses of members of Congress own real property

313
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 13: and lease it to the federal government.

314
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: And how would we found that out? Because I think

315
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: I know what you're going to say.

316
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 9: I believe the answer that question is yes, you do.

317
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 9: I do believe that.

318
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 13: Is there any way we could verify that.

319
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 7: We go to USA Spending and Search. You open the

320
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 7: books our website and you can look up members' names.

321
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 7: You can look up any person's name and find that information.

322
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 13: I suspect that's being done as I speak. How much

323
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 13: would the federal government save by allowing U needed leases

324
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 13: to expire?

325
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 5: Fell government sends up six billion dollars on least office space.

326
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 7: So depending on what how many of you let expire,

327
00:17:58,760 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 7: you get substantial saving.

328
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: Thanks, it's craziness. What's happening in Washington? Well, I want

329
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 2: to bring in with me now one of the men

330
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 2: who was questioned in.

331
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 1: That clip, the new CEO of opened the Books, John Hart,

332
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: is with us.

333
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: John, Welcome to the program.

334
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 9: Thanks, Gran.

335
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 10: It's great to be one.

336
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: All right, So you still still stand by you think

337
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: it's it's probably true spouse's own federal properties being leased

338
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: back to the federal government.

339
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

340
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 9: Great.

341
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 7: Look, there's been all kinds of insight dealing in Congress

342
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 7: for decades. You've had members use their positions to earmark

343
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 7: actually federal money to property that they own.

344
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 11: Uh.

345
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 10: And that's that We documented.

346
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 7: That over twenty years ago, and I worked for for

347
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 7: then representative and then later Senator Tom Coburn. So that's

348
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 7: it's been a pretty well known established fact that members

349
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 7: have engaged in the self dealing, using taxpayer money to

350
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 7: direct money to entities that they own. So it's it's

351
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 7: there's so much groteste corruption. And one of the interesting

352
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 7: things about this hearing that we are able to focus

353
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 7: on is one of the symptoms of the massive growth

354
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 7: of the administrative state is the high cost of decorating

355
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 7: and redecorating all of these agencies and buildings, many of

356
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 7: which we don't need. So we found that over the

357
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 7: past five years, we've spent four point six billion dollars

358
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 7: just on furniture. Now, this is literally a kitchen table

359
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 7: issue for taxpayers. Everyone in America can relate to the

360
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 7: cost of furniture. So for that amount, that four point

361
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 7: six billion, and you could provide nine point two million

362
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 7: American families with the modest five hundred dollars kitchen table.

363
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 7: So people feel this cost, they understand the scope of

364
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 7: the problem. And when the federal government is spending two

365
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 7: hundred and thirty thousand dollars on solar powered picnic tables

366
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 7: at the CDC during the COVID emergency. By the way,

367
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 7: those picnic tables violated the CDC's own social distancing guidelines.

368
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 7: You have the State Department spending one hundred and twenty

369
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 7: thousand dollars on recliners and embassies overseas.

370
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 9: Uh, You've got conference.

371
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 7: Rooms at the SEC that costs seven hundred thousand dollars

372
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 7: to upgradiate thirty eight thousand dollars for a conference stable

373
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 7: with the Nancy Pelosi building in San Francisco.

374
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 9: So this real.

375
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: Real quick.

376
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: Well, we look at those recliners. Those are Ethan Allen recliners.

377
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: They're not like they went to the local rooms to

378
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: go or whatever got their recliners. Those are Allen. Ethan

379
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: Allen is a very expensive brand. What is the federal

380
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: government paying for that?

381
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: For?

382
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: I saw in one of your one of your things

383
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: that they spend seven hundred thousand dollars on a conference room.

384
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 2: At the SEC.

385
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 7: That's the SEC. It's it's incredible. I mean, and look

386
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 7: a lot of these buildings. The issue that we also

387
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 7: touched on this hearing is the occupancy rate for federal

388
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 7: buildings is way down and it hasn't gone back up

389
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 7: to the numbers It was before COVID, So according to

390
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 7: some figures, it's between six percent occupancy. That's the lowest

391
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 7: I think USDA, and then twenty five percent is probably

392
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 7: the norm. But granted, like any private business, there's always

393
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 7: there's always, you know, room for companies can set their own,

394
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 7: you know, policies on remote work and different guidelines. But

395
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 7: if you have the federal government, you can't have it

396
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 7: both ways. You can't pay for an office to keep

397
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 7: it open and then let people work from home and

398
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 7: then spend taxpayer money redecorating the.

399
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 10: Offices that no one's using.

400
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 7: It's it's insane, and so taxpayers are incensed at just

401
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 7: just a gratuitous waste of money. And we need someone,

402
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 7: we got to get their arms wrapped around this to

403
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 7: make some hard decisions, and thankfully does just doing the

404
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 7: best they can with it.

405
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: You're testable in today one point four million dollars in

406
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: artwork for the state Department, three hundred and seventy billion

407
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: dollars needed in repairs for some of these buildings. Now,

408
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: if we're only occupying twenty five percent of the buildings,

409
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: I would seem to reason that we only need twenty

410
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: five percent of the real estate that we have, that

411
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: number to repair would drop by three quarters.

412
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: That I mean, you start having all this stuff helf.

413
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: This is real money, right and.

414
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 7: The longer and like think about your own your own property.

415
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 7: Like if you if you own a house or a

416
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 7: rental and it's in disrepair, you know that you're hurting

417
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 7: yourself by not making a decision on it. You either

418
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 7: need to you need to spend the money to upgrade

419
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 7: it so you can sell it, or you need to

420
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 7: sell it as quick as you can because you're only

421
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 7: going to be sinking cost into it. And that's what

422
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 7: the federal government's doing all over the country with this

423
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 7: massive amount of buildings that they have that either are

424
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 7: not in use or they're in disrepair.

425
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 10: But if you really again, you back up and you

426
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 10: think about the real issue.

427
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 7: The reason we focus on this furniture problem, which is

428
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 7: which is humorous in the best possible sense, is that

429
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 7: it's a symptom of a big problem, which is that

430
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 7: we've grown the administrative state, the federal agencies way beyond

431
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 7: what the founders intended. So we have four hundred and

432
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 7: forty one agencies according to the Federal Register. You know,

433
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 7: I think we ought to have about four, you know,

434
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 7: the Department of Defense, State, Treasury, Justice. Maybe throw in

435
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 7: one more of the Department of Interstate Commerce to catch

436
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 7: all the other agency functions and maybe massively down size

437
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 7: and improve the quality of services and shift money back

438
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 7: to taxpayers.

439
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 2: That's what needs to be done.

440
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: And look, the emission of opening the books, exposing all

441
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: this waste for aud abuse is great. You mentioned Tom

442
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: Coburn Man, he was the original doge and started working

443
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: for him.

444
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: That had to be pretty cool. So, John Hart, it's

445
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: great having you on the program. Thank you.

446
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: I always appreciate the work you guys do it open

447
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: the books. It's eye popping, it's maddening at the same time,

448
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: but it's something everybody needs to know.

449
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: So thank you, thank you.

450
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 10: Grey appreciate the time absolutely.

451
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: All right, folks, it is no secret that America's healthcare

452
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: system is broken and its future is uncertain.

453
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 2: Don't rely on chance.

454
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: Prepare for medical emergencies now with the Wellness Company. Their

466
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: squeeze on China goes beyond tariffs. In fact, Secretary of

467
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: Defense Pete Hegsett is in Panama exerting American dominance over

468
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: let's call it Hour Canal. Well, folks, A big part

469
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: of this program tonight, of course, is national security in

470
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: any respects.

471
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: That's what the tariffs are about.

472
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: We also have to look to Panama on the Panama Canal.

473
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: We built that canal, okay, America did with American hands,

474
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: sweat and blood. By the way, China has virtually taken

475
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: it over. America is in the process of taking it back.

476
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: Pete haig Seth went down there and said this.

477
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 14: China did not build this canal, China does not operate

478
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 14: this canal, and China will not weaponize this canal. Together,

479
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 14: we will take back to the Panama Canal from China's influence,

480
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 14: and we will do this along with other capable, life

481
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 14: minded allies and party.

482
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 2: Look, so what does that mean. It means making deals

483
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: and Panama on those.

484
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: If you're gonna make a deal with anybody, you better

485
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: make a deal with President Trump and his surrogate Secretary

486
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: of Defense.

487
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 2: Pete haig Seth.

488
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: So Petere hag Seth goes down there and in true

489
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: true form of anybody that's worth the salt working for President.

490
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: Trump, he cut a pretty darn good deal. Listen to this.

491
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 15: That is why the United States and Panama have just

492
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 15: signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperative security activities, and

493
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 15: we'll be signing just moments after this press conference a

494
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 15: joint Declaration with the Minister of Canal Affairs on the

495
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 15: Security and Operation of the Panama Canal, which is a

496
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 15: framework for US warship and auxiliary ships to sail first

497
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 15: and free through the Panama Canal.

498
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: So it's amazing to me, is how do we not

499
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: command this a long time ago? It's amazing, But this

500
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: is most certainly about national security, and I want to

501
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: bring in now thirty two year US Air Force combat

502
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: veteran Colonel Rob Manus is back with us.

503
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 2: Colonel's great to have.

504
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 9: You back, Hey, Grant, It's good to be back, Colonel.

505
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: I think this story probably gets overshadowed by the stock

506
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: market and the tariff talk.

507
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: But this is a very important story, isn't it.

508
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 9: Oh?

509
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and it's part of the tariff story in the

510
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 3: stock market story. Look, the Chinese are the biggest offenders

511
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: in the global market.

512
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 9: You know, these predatory practices.

513
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 3: They've stolen intellectual property over and over again, primarily from

514
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 3: Americans right here in the United States of America. And

515
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 3: they've tried to bully every country they've come in contact

516
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 3: with on their Belt and Road initiative through these nefarious

517
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 3: contracts they set up for in exchange for building infrastructure

518
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: that eventually they caused the countries to break the contract

519
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 3: and then they get to take over the infrastructure. And

520
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 3: that's the way the Chinese communists have been operating for

521
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 3: decades now, and it's time to put them back in

522
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 3: their box. I like this. This is a reinvigorated Munroe Doctrine.

523
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 3: Secretary Hegseth said, we want a stern hemisphere of free

524
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 3: and sovereign nations and control of Panama Canal is key

525
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: to that, and it's time for folks like the Chinese

526
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: to get out and behave.

527
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: All right, So we're pushing hard at China, and I'm

528
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: glad we are. President Trump pushed hard at China the

529
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: last time around when he was in office, not this hard.

530
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: I actually believe they unleashed a virus on us because

531
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: of how hard he was pushing.

532
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 2: I'm worried about what they'll do.

533
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: Now, let me play you one of one of China's

534
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: top officials responding to what's happening in Panama. This Belton

535
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: Road initiatives. You described it perfectly the other way, to

536
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: describe it as a loan shark problem.

537
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: That's what it is. They act like a mob boss.

538
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: They give you a loan, you can't pay it back,

539
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: and then they take it from you.

540
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: So here's this Chinese official.

541
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 16: China firmly opposes the usmear and subtage of the bolt

542
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 16: On Roads Corporation through the means of pressuring and coercion,

543
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 16: and deeply regrets Panama's decision to not renew the Memorandum

544
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 16: of understanding on the Battern Road initiative.

545
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: Well, Colonel John Gotti didn't like rue Giuliani going after

546
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: him either, right, So I mean the end, I don't care.

547
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: But what will China do? I guess that's the big question.

548
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: How far do they go to push back against US?

549
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 9: Well, that is the big question.

550
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 3: Obviously they're not backing off on the tariff issue. So

551
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 3: the presidents set ours at one hundred and twenty five

552
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 3: percent today and paused everybody else's for at least ninety

553
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 3: days and reduce them in the meantime, and that is

554
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 3: going to have a huge effect on what the Chinese economy. Look,

555
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: their Chinese economy was in trouble in the first place,

556
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: but they're an export nation.

557
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 9: They know they're exporting nation.

558
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: And that they thrive on what the biggest market that

559
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: they export to, and that's to the United States of America.

560
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: So they're they're desperate right now, and that's why you

561
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 3: may see some other activity.

562
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 9: And I agree with you.

563
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 3: I think they unleash the COVID nineteen virus on us

564
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 3: because President Trump was being so tough on them. And

565
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: don't forget and this is top of my mind right

566
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 3: now because of this issue. Is there are some estimates

567
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 3: that put the number of Chinese military age males that

568
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 3: came into this country illegally during the Biden administration at

569
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 3: over one hundred thousand, and that many people don't leave

570
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: China without either permission or escaping, and that number of

571
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: people escaping is just not logical.

572
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 9: So they had permission and they're here for a reason.

573
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 9: What is the reason?

574
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 3: And are we doing anything to protect ourselves from it?

575
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's frightening.

576
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and his cast of characters really put us

577
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball when it comes to national security

578
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: with those open borders, and we see this president now

579
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: getting things under control. But you raise a great point,

580
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: as always, Colonel rob Manus. I appreciate you coming on

581
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: today and weighing in.

582
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 9: Thank you, sir, Thank you, Gret.

583
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely you want to know this Panama Canal thing, you

584
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: know how far goes back. Ronald Reagan. Okay, watch this

585
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: clip from Ronald Reagan.

586
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 17: If these reports are true, it means that the American

587
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 17: people have been deceived by a state department preoccupied with secrecy.

588
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 17: The Panama Canal Zone is sovereign United States territory just

589
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 17: as much as Alaska is, as well as the state's

590
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 17: carved from the Louisiana Purchase we bought it, we paid

591
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 17: for it, and General Torio should be told we're going

592
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 17: to keep it.

593
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan, well, it takes President Trump, lord knows how

594
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: many years later to say, you know what, President Reagan,

595
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: you were.

596
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: Right, we're taking it back. All right.

597
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: Tariffs are causing economic chaos and inflation.

598
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: But there's good news.

599
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: President Trump exempted gold and silver from tariff so you

600
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: could still protect your savings with precious metals. To learn more,

00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: General Ken Paxton, I hope will be the next Senator

612
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: from Texas, replacing Rhino Senator John Cornyn.

613
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: And I'm not happy with John Cornyn today.

614
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: I'll show you why next.

615
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone.

616
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: One of the great points of this show for me anyway,

617
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: is that it's an opinion show, so I give you

618
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: my opinion.

619
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: You know I do it well.

620
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: I have never been a fan of John Cornyn, my

621
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: senator from Texas, the senior senator here.

622
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 2: I think he's a Rhino.

623
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: I think he's a deep stater, and quite honestly, I

624
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: think he's been in office too long, and I think

625
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: he's a grifter, grifting the American taxpayer. But I've never

626
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: liked him more than today. What this man did today

627
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: was so despicable and so low. I will fight so

628
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: hard to make sure that this man loses. And you

629
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: don't hear a lot of conservative talk show hosts talk

630
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: about candidates and Republican primaries like that, but I mean it.

631
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: After this weasel candidate talking about Attorney General Ken Paxton,

632
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: who's a man who has fought harder against the Biden

633
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: administration than any attorney general in this country. Okay, this

634
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: is what he has to say about attorney general. When

635
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: the attorney general says, you know what, We're going to

636
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: run against you in a Republican primary.

637
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: It's his right to do it. It's politics. Put your

638
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 2: big boy pants on, Cornyn, listen to this.

639
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 4: Mister Paxton has a checker in the background.

640
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: He is a con man and a fraud and I

641
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 3: think the people of Texas.

642
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 2: Know that.

643
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: No, sir, first off, Attorney General of Paxa has been

644
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: cleared of anything against him. I'm gonna bring it up.

645
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: But the real con man is Cornyon. He votes for

646
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: gun control in Texas. For crying out loud as our senator,

647
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: he told you President Trump couldn't win guests.

648
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 2: Was in the Oval office today.

649
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: President Trump even criticized President Trump of his handling in

650
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: the classified documents.

651
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: This man has to go.

652
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 1: And it is my great pleasure to bring in now

653
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: Republican Attorney general for the great state of Texas and

654
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: now Senate candidate in Texas. My friend, Ken Paxton, General,

655
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: is great to have you on the program.

656
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 10: Hey, thanks for it. It's a good day. Thanks for

657
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 10: having me back.

658
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 2: Grant, Well, it is a great day. Before I get

659
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 2: into Cornyon, because this is more important. Why are you running?

660
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: What do you bring to the people of Texas, the

661
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: people of America that would make you better than anybody

662
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: else in the United States?

663
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: Senate.

664
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 10: Look, I think I have proven this. I'm a proven conservative.

665
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 18: But I want the opportunity to help Donald Trump deliver

666
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 18: on his promises to the American people. He's moving fast

667
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 18: on cutting spending, He's moving fast on tax increases, He's moving.

668
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 10: Fast on fixing the war.

669
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 18: He's moving fast on all kinds of important issues this country.

670
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 18: I've never seen anybody do more so fast. I'd love

671
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 18: to be a part of doing that with him.

672
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 2: All right, let me ask.

673
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: You now about Senator Cornyn's comments today. There were more,

674
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: he went further. I really don't really want to give

675
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: him the pleasure of playing any of them. But you know,

676
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: you're running a Republican primary. It's not like you're running

677
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: against Nancy Pelosi. Here where does he get off with

678
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: these comments?

679
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 10: So I think his problem was this is going to

680
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 10: be an ongoing problem for him.

681
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 18: He has nothing to talk about as far as what

682
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 18: he's done over the last twenty three years. It's a

683
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 18: long time to have nothing to talk about. And if

684
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 18: he did talk about it would be some of the

685
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 18: things you brought about of his gun restrictions. His biggest

686
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 18: bill ever was a gun restriction bill that Joe Biden

687
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 18: was pleased with that, congratulated, and Donald Trump was critical.

688
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 18: So these are the types of things, whether and whether

689
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 18: it's his comments on the border wall, amnesty, his comments

690
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 18: on Trump, these are the types of things he didn't

691
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 18: want to talk about either. And so he's got to

692
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 18: turn the campaign. He's got nothing going for me. He's

693
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 18: down twenty five points. He's an incumbent center that the

694
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 18: only thing you can talk about is me, and it's

695
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 18: got to be personal because it's not going to be

696
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 18: able to attack my record. It's unassailable as far as

697
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 18: he's concerned.

698
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: Well, the Texas Republican Convention, he got booed when he

699
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: went in there. Now, if you're a senator from Texas,

700
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't understand, you have free reign to basically do

701
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: whatever conservative, freedom loving thing you would want to do.

702
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna have no ramifications for it. And yet you

703
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: think that he's a senator from Maryland or something.

704
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, So that was an interesting time for me because

705
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 10: he had just criticized me. I was running into George P.

706
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 18: Bush or George P was running against me, and he

707
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 18: had come out a week before a runoff and said

708
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 18: I was an embarrassment to Texas, obviously being prompted by

709
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 18: Karl Rove and the Bushes, and I ended up winning

710
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 18: by thirty eight points. A month later, we're at the

711
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 18: state convention with ten to twelve thousand Republican delegates, and

712
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 18: he happens to be speaking right before me. He goes

713
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 18: up on stage with his wife. For ten straight minutes,

714
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 18: he got booed, she walks off. He speaks for another

715
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 18: twenty minutes, he gets booed the entire time. I'm talking

716
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 18: like slight booing. I'm talking about like loud booze. It

717
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 18: was embarrassing. I let him walk off stage. I did

718
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 18: not say a word to him. I walked on stage

719
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 18: and got a stadiovation. I knew then the John Cornyn

720
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 18: that the people of Texas, the voters of Texas got

721
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 18: John Cornyn, and they didn't.

722
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 2: Like him, all right, so they don't.

723
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: And I'm really in touch with grassroots people in Texas.

724
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: Texas especially nobody likes John Corner. I think you're going

725
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: to be welcomed in with open arms from the grassroom

726
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 1: community in this state.

727
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this.

728
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned that you sued Joe Biden his administration.

729
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 2: I think more than any other Attorney General.

730
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: What did you learn from that experience that then you

731
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: can then bring to the United States Senate.

732
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 18: Look, I mean that I learned that if you if

733
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 18: you want a chance at winning, you've got to go fight,

734
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 18: and sometimes you got to be creative in that fight.

735
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 18: You've got to be persistent in that fight. And if

736
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 18: you continue that fight, you have a really good chance.

737
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 18: If you do it smartly, you give a really good

738
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 18: chance of being successful. We were successful like seventy eight

739
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 18: percent of the time against the Biden administration when we

740
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 18: came up with creative, good, well founded lawsuits based on

741
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 18: the Constitution and based on federal and state law. That

742
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 18: same type of attitude applies when you're in the US Senate.

743
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 18: If you're consistently conservative, you're looking for creative ways to

744
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 18: be effective, and you're persistent in doing that. I think

745
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 18: you can bring that same mentality to the US Senate,

746
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 18: and they, honestly, they need a little more of that.

747
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they sure do.

748
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: They need more real good conservative fighters up there, which

749
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: you are one of them. I've known you personally for

750
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: many years now, which brings me to another question. One

751
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: of the keys to this is going to be President

752
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: Trump's endorsement. I've mentioned you to President Trump before in

753
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: the pass. I know for a fact that he likes you.

754
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: We can see all the video with you and Hammy.

755
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: He brings up your name all the time. John Cornyn

756
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: is now lobbying for Trump's endorsement. You never know what

757
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: Trump's gonna do here. Have you talked to the President

758
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: about your run and how do you think this will

759
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: shape out.

760
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 10: I've talked to some of his family members and others.

761
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 18: I don't want to say in detail what I've said

762
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 18: or haven't said it, but look, I was.

763
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 10: There at mar A Lago with one other.

764
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 18: Elected official, Troy Nels, when he announced for president.

765
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 10: There were no other elective officials. Well why was I there?

766
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 4: Back then?

767
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 18: There was a lot of questions about whether he could win,

768
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 18: and Ron DeSantis was you know, had a lot of amenta.

769
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 18: But I truly believe that one Trump was gonna win,

770
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 18: two that he was going to be successful, and that

771
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 18: he was the best candidate.

772
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 10: I've stuck with him.

773
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 18: I think the President very loyal, and I do think

774
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 18: I'm encouraged. I think that in the end, the President's

775
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 18: going to do the right thing. I would find it

776
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 18: shocking that John Cornan would be his guy, considering John

777
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 18: Cordon's criticism of him over the years, including both times

778
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 18: when he ran for president. So, look, the president can

779
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 18: do what he wants to do, but I have a

780
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 18: lot of respect for.

781
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 10: Him and I know in the end he's going to

782
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 10: do the right thing.

783
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: Well, I would think he would be well served to

784
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: endorse you in this race. I think you've got a

785
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: real shot of winning. It's going to take a lot

786
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: of money, I take it. You know, Look, you've run

787
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: statewide in this state before. You know how to win races, clearly,

788
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: but now you're going up against an incumbent senator. Money

789
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: is an issue. I'll give you the last word here.

790
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: What's the pitched voters out there here, especially if they're

791
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: in Texas, but really across the country.

792
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 10: Look, it's time for change in Texas.

793
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 18: We're not in New Hampshire, We're not in Vermont. We

794
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 18: need a conservative in Texas, somebody like Ted KRK. And

795
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 18: we all know that John Cornet is not Ted Cruz

796
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 18: and he's nothing like Ted Cruz.

797
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 10: He's sold us out. He's not done what he should

798
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 10: have done.

799
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 18: He said twenty three years going on twenty four to

800
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 18: accomplish good for Texas, and he can't point to anything

801
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 18: other than turning it around and attacking me personally. And

802
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 18: so it's just time for a change, and I think

803
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 18: that change should be me. I think I've got the

804
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 18: best chance of beating him statewide, and I want the

805
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 18: opportunity to go serve Texas in a way that's much

806
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 18: more similar to Ted Cruz than it is John Cornan, Well.

807
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: You've got my support. Anything I can do to help you,

808
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: you call it. You're always welcome on this program. You

809
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: can call me up two minutes before and I'm always

810
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: going to get you on. So we wish you the

811
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 1: best of luck. I hope everybody out there not only

812
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: votes for you, throw some money in the tip jar,

813
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: as my friend Larry Helper used to say when he

814
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: was running for governor in California. But we wish you

815
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: the best of luck. Texas needs you. Thank you, Texas

816
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: Attorney General. Ken pax and good to see you, General.

817
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 18: Hey, thanks for having me and kenpaxon dot com. If

818
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 18: you want to go donate, it's the best place to go.

819
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's super easy.

820
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 1: Ken Paxton dot com, Kenpaxton dot com.

821
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 2: All right, I'll tell you.

822
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: Honestly, folks, I had never been more angry at an

823
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: incumbent Republican for his comments about a fellow Republican that

824
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 1: I was today listening to John Cornyn. It was out

825
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: of b line, it was below the belt. It was

826
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 1: quite frankly, it was classless.

827
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 2: And you know what.

828
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: So now he's got a fight on his hands, and

829
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: I think the grassroots Stinchfield's army will be there for

830
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: Ken Paxton. All right, did you know that the AARP,

831
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: the group claiming to support seniors, promoted drag Queen's Story

832
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: Hour and Obamacare while opposing Trump tax cuts. They push

833
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: a radical left agenda daily. But there's AMAC, the conservative

834
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: alternative fighting for America First values like social security, election, integrity,

835
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: and freedom from big government. Here's the best part. You

836
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: don't even need to be a senior to join. Right now,

837
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: I get a five year membership for just thirty one dollars.

838
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: That's four off. So hurry.

839
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: This offer ends April thirty and stop funding the woke mob.

Speaker 1: All right cash, Hotel and Pam Bondi's DOJ announced a

844
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: huge drug bust.

845
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that next.

846
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 1: Well, folks, welcome back the Coast Guard and the Department

847
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: of Justice getting it done. I don't think the Coastguard

848
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: was ever chasing after J six ers, Lord knows, the Department.

849
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 2: Of Justice was.

850
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: Finally we're going after drug traffickers. Now, that is a

851
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: good thing. This is our buddy, Cash Battel, the new

852
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: director of the FBI, announcing this bust.

853
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 19: This is what it looks like when the United States

854
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 19: whole of government approach brings every resource to bear from

855
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 19: the Department of in the United States, Coast Guard, from HSI,

856
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,760
Speaker 19: from FBI, from DEA, and so many others.

857
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 8: They are going.

858
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 19: To get all the drugs off the streets, off the markets,

859
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 19: and as Attorney General Bondi said, we are going.

860
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 4: To lock them up.

861
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: Five hundred million dollars worth of drugs. Ventanyl was included

862
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 1: in this bust. So is this just a one off.

863
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 19: Cash Because this is not a one off for General Bondi.

864
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 19: She has made this a mission priority and the FBI

865
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 19: will follow in every corner of this country and every

866
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 19: square centimeter of this planet to eradicate in the foreign

867
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 19: terrorist organization that are killing American citizens. They will be

868
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 19: held accountable. We will take preventive measures, and we will

869
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 19: scour the ends of the earth to find every single

870
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 19: one of them.

871
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: So he mentioned Pam Bondy, the Attorney General. She was

872
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 1: also at this press conference, and she explained just how

873
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: far they will go to find these traffickers and stop

874
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: them before they get to the United States.

875
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 20: This team, with all the agencies I just mentioned, used drones,

876
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 20: aircraft and ships to interdict the traffickers off the coast

877
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 20: of Peru, Ecuador, and the Galapagos Islands. What they did

878
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 20: saved countless American lives.

879
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: So apparently this was two separate cartels that were running

880
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 1: these drugs.

881
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 2: This is a monster bust.

882
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: And again I think you're going to see more of

883
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: this because finally we got cash, Betel and pambody cash running.

884
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: Soon will be the greatest law enforcement agency in the

885
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 1: world again. It will soon be that way, no doubt.

886
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: The cash will turn it around. They're finally going to

887
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: go after crooks and these and thugs and bruisers and

888
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: drug traffickers and human traffickers and all the rest of them.

889
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: Congratulations to those two and everyone involved in that bust,

890
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: big day for America. We didn't see much of that

891
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: the last four years.

892
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: We will now all right up.

893
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 1: Next, Jasmine Crockett makes nearly makes a case for slavery.

894
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: How did she get elected again?

895
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: Well, Democrat Jasmine Crockett, the congresswoman from Texas, not.

896
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 2: Far from where we broadcast from. You have to wonder

897
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 2: how she got elected.

898
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: Apparently she's really worried that we close down the border

899
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: black folks will have to go back to picking cotton.

900
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 21: The fact is, ain't none of y'all trying to go

00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 11: We are.

904
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 21: You can't pay us enough to find a plantation.

905
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: So first off, machines pick cotton. Now people don't, So

906
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about that, Jasmine Crockett.

907
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 2: But what are you saying? Are you so racist?

908
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: So you're saying only the Hispanic folks should be what

909
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: picking vegetables and that kind of What about any American, white, black,
