00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers.

00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: Making the American Farm Strong Again.

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: Team forty seven with Clay and Buck starts now.

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: One hundred days of the Trump Fance administration, and we

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: are joined now by Vice President JD. Vans, and we're

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: going to get into all the successes the border and more.

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: But JD, I don't know if you've answered this question,

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: But on the first day of your administration, Ohio State

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: won the National Championship against Notre Dame. But you had

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: a ton of obligations as the newly inaugurated vice president.

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: Do you have like an official Buckeye guy who was

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: following you around that day giving you updates during the

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: course of the game. I know you're a big fan.

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: I've actually I wondered about it that night. I don't

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: know if you've answered it. I would have if my

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: University of Tennessee ever gets back in the title game,

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: I would be terrified to miss any of it. What

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: was your play there for National Title Game day as

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: a Buckeye?

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, so there are a couple of different things going on.

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 4: So first I actually talked to my team about whether

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 4: it would be possible to skip the inaugural balls so

23
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 4: that I would be able to go to the game.

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 4: And actually, you know, I guess we'd get inaugurated, we'd

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 4: go to a few parties, and then I'd be able

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: to watch the game while the president took care of

27
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 4: the inaugural balls. The team was not a huge fan

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 4: of that. Apparently it would have been unprecedent for vice

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 4: president to skip the inaugural balls the night of the inauguration.

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 4: What we were able to do, though, is before the

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 4: first ball, I actually had all of my friends and family.

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 4: We got basically we turned a big hotel room into

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 4: a sports bar, and so I was able to watch

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 4: the first quarter before the first ball, and I think

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 4: it was either right after the second or the third ball,

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: Notre Dame started to come back a little bit, and

37
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 4: so I sat in a room with like a nineteen

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 4: inch TV and just sort of watched the Buckeyes put

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: it away. So I got to see a little bit

40
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: of it.

41
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 5: Man.

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's it's on the one hand, like, what

43
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 4: what a cool day for an Ohio State fan to

44
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: be inaugurated as the vice president have your team within

45
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: a national championship. On the other hand, was sad to

46
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 4: miss most of the game, but you know, official duties

47
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 4: come first.

48
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 5: Bet Jeddie.

49
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: I was also happy to see Vice President of Vance,

50
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: very happy to see my beloved Buck. Guys do so well,

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: I want to ask you. I want to ask you

52
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: about a border if I can, and what's going on

53
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: with the administration on Well, let's get into the next steps.

54
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: The good news is you can sit here and tell us.

55
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: But Clay and I've been telling everybody about this. So far,

56
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: the border is secure ninety five percent drop. The stats

57
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: speak for themselves. Biden kicked the border wide open. It

58
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: was a choice. Trump has actually secured the border. Fantastic.

59
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: We still have millions and millions of illegals who came

60
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: in under Biden. What should we expect from the perspective

61
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: of building on the border successes so far in the

62
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: next six to twelve months.

63
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, obviously we know we have to ramp up

64
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: to deportations, and the President talks about this all the time,

65
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: both in public and private. It's something that I'm very

66
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: focused on. And a lot of this comes down to,

67
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: I mean, it turns out we've got to do some

68
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: battle with some really crazy far left judges in order

69
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 4: to allow the administration to do what it actually needs

70
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 4: to do. And I will say, to great credit, the

71
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 4: President expected this when we came in. He said, you know,

72
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: we're going to start deporting people, and a lot of

73
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 4: these far left judges are going to stop us, and

74
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 4: there's no way out of it but through it, and

75
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 4: we're just going to have to battle. We're going to

76
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: have to win the court cases. We're going to have

77
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 4: to take some of this stuff all the way to

78
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 4: the Supreme Court, and we're going to have to find

79
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: alternative ways to deport people. When the judges say you

80
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: can't do this method, we're gonna have to find another method.

81
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 4: So we recognize that we're dealing battle here, or doing

82
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 4: battle with basically a massive bureaucracy that has decided that

83
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 4: it rules the country rather than the American people. And

84
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: I think one of the biggest takeaways of the one

85
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 4: hundred days is, yes, we've got a lot of successes.

86
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: We've also revealed ways in which this deeply entrenched bureaucracy

87
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: tries to fight the will of the American people. And

88
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 4: thank god, we've got a vice president and a president

89
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 4: who are pushing back against it. And that's exactly what

90
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: we told the American people we would do. That's exactly

91
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: what we're doing. But I think that is really the

92
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: biggest focal point of immigration policy over the next six

93
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: to twelve months, is to empower all of the people

94
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 4: in the administration, from Tom Homer and Christynome to the

95
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 4: border patrol agents on the ground to do their job

96
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: and to get a lot of these people out of

97
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: our country. Now that said, we have had great success,

98
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 4: but we're not resting on our laurels here. We're shutting

99
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: down the border traffic coming into the country and we're

100
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 4: dealing with what Biden left us simultaneously.

101
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 5: That's exactly what we have to do.

102
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: You're not only an Ohio State grad, you're also a

103
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: Yale law grad. And you just talked about where the

104
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: resistance two point zero, I would say, is coming from,

105
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: largely the six hundred and some odd district court judges

106
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: who are regularly putting in place nationwide injunctions. What's a

107
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: fix to that? And are even you surprised by how

108
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: aggressive the judiciary has been to try to strip the

109
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: president's executive authority.

110
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not surprised by it, because again, the

111
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: president actually expected this. He told us this would happen.

112
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 4: You know, he felt and I think he was right

113
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 4: about this, that you know, the left felt defeated in

114
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 4: a certain way, that there were a lot of you know,

115
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 4: grassroots activists that just weren't nearly as fired up in

116
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four as they were in twenty sixteen. And

117
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 4: he's talking about people on the far left. But he

118
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: said that, look at the courts are going to try

119
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: to stop everything that we do. And it's actually not

120
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 4: just immigration. I mean, the courts have tried to stop

121
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: Pete Hegseth from not allowing you know, transgender military personnel

122
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: to continue serving.

123
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 5: They've done a lot, I mean.

124
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 4: Which goes to the heart of military readiness, right the

125
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 4: Secretary of Defense saying that, you know, if you're dealing

126
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 4: with a serious mental health issue, our compassion goes with you,

127
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 4: but you can't be deployed to the battlefield like that.

128
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 4: That is the heart of the president and the Secretary

129
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: of Defense's authorities. And so you have these district courts

130
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 4: who really want to run the country and have decided

131
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 4: that they are actually in charge of the United States

132
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: of America. There's this very funny I think headline from

133
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: the Babylon be that was, you know, something like Donald

134
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 4: Trump considers resigning to become a very powerful district court judge.

135
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 4: But it's one of these jokes with a kernel of truth,

136
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 4: which is that the district courts in this country have

137
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: tried to take upon themselves powers that belong to the President.

138
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 5: Of the United States.

139
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 4: And it's funny, guys, you know, you hear the media

140
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 4: and they'll say, well, this is a constitutional crisis. And

141
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 4: the constitutional crisis is not Donald Trump refusing to allow

142
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: the district courts to govern the country. The crisis is

143
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 4: the district courts trying to govern the country and our approaches.

144
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: We're fighting it legally, of course, we're taking some of

145
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 4: these cases to the Supreme Court and we think we're

146
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 4: going to get success there. We're finding alternative methods to

147
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: do what we need to do in compliance with the law.

148
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 4: And we're just going to have to keep on fighting this,

149
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 4: you know, day by day, figuring out where the district courts.

150
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: And it's to be clear, it's not all district courts.

151
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 4: It's the far left crazies. But when these far left

152
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 4: crazies stop it and try to prevent the president from

153
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: doing his job. We've got to do it through alternative means,

154
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 4: and that's what we're trying to do.

155
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: We're speaking of Vice President Vance, and mister Vice President,

156
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: let me ask you about how things are going at

157
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: this stage with not just identifying the waste, fraud and

158
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: abuse within the government, a big mission that DOGE has

159
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: taken upon itself. But what we can expect now, how

160
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: much of this do you think has been completed when

161
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: you look at Elon and Doge's mission. Does Congress have

162
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: to play a major role with recisions? Essentially, we know

163
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: there's a lot of shenanigans going on, but how do

164
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: we actually get the shenanigans in government spending to stop?

165
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: Where are we on that?

166
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we're making a lot of progress. I

167
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: wouldn't say that it's done by any means. And yes,

168
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 4: Congress has a role because here, here's what happens. If

169
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: DOGE and Elon find ten billion dollars of spending, that's

170
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 4: just ridiculous. That's not consistent with the law or with

171
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 4: the admitted tration's policy priorities. That money just kind of

172
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 4: sits there and so it's still been taxed from the

173
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 4: American people. And if we want to use it to

174
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 4: pay down debt or to give it back to the

175
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 4: American people through tax relief, then that does require an

176
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 4: Act of Congress, and I think Congress is very willing

177
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 4: to do it.

178
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 5: But I don't know if you saw.

179
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: I think it was today or maybe yesterday, a report

180
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: came out that Treasury actually is borrowing less money than they.

181
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 5: Expected to borrow.

182
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: And I think that's because of the success of DOGE.

183
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 4: You're seeing them make meaningful cuts in some of these

184
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 4: crazy foreign aid programs. But I also think they're finding

185
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 4: a lot of fraud in programs that are meant for

186
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 4: American citizens that are going either to illegal aliens or

187
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 4: to complete fraudsters. And so I think DOGE is making

188
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 4: a lot of progress, but it's not done, and I

189
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 4: don't think it's ever going to be truly done right.

190
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 4: This is one of these problems that we have to

191
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: continually fight against. And the reason why it was such

192
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 4: a shock to the system is we had allowed the

193
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 4: waste and the fraud to become so endemic in the

194
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 4: way that we did government in this country. And I

195
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: don't I think we should ever go back, And I

196
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 4: actually do think and maybe this is too optimistic that

197
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: when all the political controversy is cleared, we look back

198
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 4: on this a few years from now, we're going to

199
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 4: realize that doges saved the American people a lot of money,

200
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: that cut a lot of fraud out of our government,

201
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 4: and that even some Democrats are going to say, well,

202
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 4: we have to keep doing this, because we can't just

203
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: let hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud every single

204
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 4: year become part of how the US government functions.

205
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: We're talking to Vice President jd Vance. You guys have

206
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: made tremendous strides with young men. The data continues to

207
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: reflect that young men are breaking for both you and

208
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in big numbers. I think a big part

209
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: of that is because young men are over this idea

210
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: of men being able to play women's sports. I can't

211
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: believe this is even a thing. Nike, you may have seen,

212
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: recently paid for a study on minors to study trans

213
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: drugs and how it might impact athletics. How did the

214
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: world get it's so broken here? What are companies like

215
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: Nike even trying to accomplish? And this feels like an

216
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: eighty twenty ninety ten issue for Americans. Do you feel

217
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: that when you're out and about, I.

218
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 5: Do feel that.

219
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: I definitely think it's a winning political issue for the

220
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 4: Republican Party because it's just basic common sense, right. I mean,

221
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 4: people don't want women competing against grown men and sports,

222
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 4: especially in some of these contact sports where the women

223
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 4: could get injured. You know, I'm the father of a

224
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 4: three year old daughter. I'd like her to play sports.

225
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: I think it teaches valuable life lessons, but I don't

226
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 4: want her competing against grown men when she does it.

227
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 4: This is just, again, it's basic common sense. I think

228
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: it's the basic masculine instinct to protect young women. And

229
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 4: one of the ways you do that is to not

230
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 4: let you know, a male boxer in the room with

231
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 4: a female boxer. Just things like that I think have

232
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 4: turned it into a ninety ten issue, that basic common sense.

233
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: But man, I think that so many of these companies,

234
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 4: Nike or otherwise, they got caught up in this cultural

235
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 4: zeitgeist of twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, and it's like,

236
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe they just thought the Progressors were

237
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 4: going to win, and so they decided to fund this

238
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: stuff to the hilt, not realizing that the American people

239
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 4: would have a rebellion against the craziness. I think that

240
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 4: rebellion on the trans issue in particular. I mean, think

241
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: about this, giving hormonal therapies to twelve year old kids,

242
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 4: causing irreversible damage to their bodies, forcing young girls to

243
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 4: compete against boys in sports, sometimes causing serious injury in

244
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 4: the process. I think this issue is such a bad

245
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 4: loser among the American people that even some of the

246
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 4: true believers have dropped it as a political issue. But

247
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 4: I think it's our job to remind the American people

248
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 4: this is what they've tried to do, this is what

249
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 4: they're promising to do. The trans issue hasn't gone away.

250
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 4: You just had some Democrats who are smart enough to

251
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 4: recognize it's a political loser. But yeah, they're going to

252
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 4: try to force twelve year olds to take cross sex hormones,

253
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: and they're going to try to force young girls to

254
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,479
Speaker 4: compete against young boys if we give these power. The craziness,

255
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 4: in other words, hasn't gotten away. They've just gotten a

256
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 4: little bit better at hiding it.

257
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: Mister Vice President, one more for you. Appreciate you making

258
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: the time for us today. The tariff's issue is something

259
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: that has gotten a lot of attension on this show

260
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: across the country for obvious reasons. People are very attuned

261
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: to what the Trump negotiations with these countries and his

262
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: approach to China is doing to the economy, the market

263
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: prices everything. Wall Street Journal being a little salty about

264
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: it today on their front page. What do you say

265
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: to anyone who is trying to steer Donald Trump away

266
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: from this course because they're a little nervous about the

267
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: tariff situation.

268
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 4: So I've had so many conversations guys in private with

269
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: the President about this, and I think his public statements,

270
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 4: I mean, going back to the nineteen eighties, this is

271
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 4: an issue that he feels very deeply about. I happen

272
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 4: to think that he's right. He campaigned on it, the

273
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: American people elected him on it, and there's a lot

274
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: of misinformation out there. There's a lot of people saying, well,

275
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: Donald Trump doesn't know what he's actually doing. Look, I

276
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 4: promise you I've spent many hours discussing these issues with

277
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: Donald Trump. You can disagree with him, but he knows

278
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: exactly what he's doing. And here's the fundamental problem. America

279
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 4: doesn't produce enough of its own stuff.

280
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 5: That is the issue.

281
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 4: We don't have enough manufacturing in our own country. We're

282
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 4: too reliant on sometimes hostile foreign powers to make the

283
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 4: things that we need. And that's true in electronics, it's

284
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 4: true in technology, it's true in God forbid. You know,

285
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 4: we've had shortages of critical pharmaceuticals in this country over

286
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 4: the last few years. We cannot have a real successful,

287
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 4: prosperous country if we're dependent on the communist Chinese.

288
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 5: For the drugs that we put into the bodies of

289
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 5: our children.

290
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 4: And so what the President has said here is, yes,

291
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 4: this is going to be disruptive, Yes this is going

292
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 4: to require some transition, but he's fundamentally committed to the

293
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 4: basic process of manufacturing more in the United States, creating

294
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 4: good paying jobs in the process, but more fundamentally make

295
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: King America more self reliant. And I think the problem

296
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: is that we had a bipartisan consensus in this country

297
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 4: for forty years that we could just ship all of

298
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: our heavy industry overseas, that we could ship a lot

299
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: of our good jobs overseas, a lot of our factories,

300
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 4: and that somehow that would make the United States more prosperous.

301
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: I think the reality is that it's made us weaker.

302
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: It's made us more dependent on the communist Chinese. And

303
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 4: when you see, for example, the Chinese respond to the

304
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: President's trade policy by saying, well, we're going to cut

305
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: off the United States from critical supplies that are necessary

306
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: for the American people, doesn't that just prove that Donald

307
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 4: Trump was right? How did we ever get into the

308
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 4: position where the People's Republic of China could threaten the

309
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: American people with the loss of critical supplies. And given

310
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: that we are in that position, Donald Trump is exactly

311
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 4: right that we have to get out of it. I'm

312
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 4: not going to tell you it's going to be easy,

313
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: because it's not. But it's necessary, and I think the

314
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 4: President recognizes he is a once in a generation opportunity.

315
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 5: Need to do it. JD.

Speaker 1: and Buck.

323
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: We are joined by Deputy White House Chief of Staff

324
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: Steven Miller, one of the sharpest minds in this White House.

325
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: The policy maestro extraordinaire Steven. Great to have you back

326
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: on the program.

327
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 3: Thank you appreciate that very generous introduction. I promise I'm

328
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: not paying him anything for those kind words.

329
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: Well, we know that a man who loves the movie

330
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: Blood Sport as much as you do has fantastic taste

331
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: and is a wise fellow. So let's start with.

332
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 5: This, ste The Blood Sport is a metaphor for life.

333
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: If you want to understand how to succeed in life,

334
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 3: just watch that movie and you'll get it.

335
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: I totally agree Van Dam's finest, no question about that.

336
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: There's some reporting out there, Stephen, that you may also

337
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: be taking on wearing an so to speak with National

338
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: Security advisor. Can you give us any preview of that

339
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: or is it still TBD?

340
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: Right now, we're all just focused on supporting the Secretary

341
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: of State Rubio, who is a very good and close

342
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: friend of mine in his role right now, Dual hadded

343
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: as Secretary of State and is the head of the

344
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 3: National Security Council, and so all of our energy here

345
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 3: in this building and across the administration is focused on

346
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: supporting Secretary Rubio, again, someone who not only haven't become

347
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: very close friends with but I've had a chance to

348
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 3: see him working up close and personal these last one

349
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: hundred days and also even before then, and he's really phenomenal.

350
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: And the President made absolute the right choice by giving

351
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: him this responsibility.

352
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: He is Secretary Rubio as well as I believe interm

353
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 2: National Security Advisor and also acting Administrator of USAID I

354
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: think at this point, right, so he's taken.

355
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 5: On a bunch. Don't forget he's in charge of the

356
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 5: National Archives too.

357
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, yeah, a lie.

358
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 3: It's a testament to the fact that Marco deeply understands

359
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: and believes in the President's agenda and what President Trump

360
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 3: is trying to accomplish. And everyone in this building, everyone

361
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: across the administration, over these last one hundred days, has

362
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 3: developed a deep admiration for Marco and what he's done

363
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: at State Department and what he's done in the other

364
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: roles he's been tapped to do. I mean, for example,

365
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, the dismantlement of the communist slush fund

366
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: known as USAID. And so you know, Marco is that

367
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 3: rare combination of talent where he has the soft skills,

368
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: the diplomacy and the ability to forge deals, but also

369
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 3: the hard skills, and we've seen that, and I've seen

370
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: it very directly in terms of Marco's work on migration

371
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 3: and his ability to really hard negotiations with foreign countries

372
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 3: to bend them into submission on cooperation that we need.

373
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: So the President has made a tremendous choice with Marco,

374
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 3: and it's altogether the President's team across the board is

375
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: the strongest team you've ever had in this White House.

376
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: Steven, appreciate you coming on, appreciate all the work you're doing,

377
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: and we want you to come back on the program

378
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: when you're officially named NSA, but in the future that

379
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: might well.

380
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 3: Joel, I'm looking at right now is I want to

381
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 3: take over Marco's job of the National Archives.

382
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 5: I think I could do some great things there.

383
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: You know, I would actually love to get a behind

384
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: the scenes tour of the Archives, because I got to

385
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: do the World War Two Museum. They took me behind

386
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 1: the scenes, and as good as the actual things that

387
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: you get to see in the museum is the things

388
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: that they have in the archives that are not actually

389
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: publicly visible are some of the coolest things. I bet

390
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: at almost every museum because they only get to show

391
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: you a small pinprick of whatever their overall collection is,

392
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: so that would actually be super cool as well. Let's

393
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: go into the first hundred days. Buck and I have

394
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: been ecstatic with everything that we have seen. How much

395
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: of the first hundred days just flood the zone strategy?

396
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: Do you think has worked? And how do you keep

397
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: that pace up as we move into the next hundred

398
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: days and everybody is trying to run as fast as

399
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: they possibly can.

400
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 3: Yes, well, the flood the zone strategy has worked exactly

401
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: as President Trump intended it to, which is shock and

402
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: awe against the forces of corruption that have been bleeding

403
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 3: this country of its wealth. That security is prestige. You know,

404
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 3: the worst mistake you can make when you are fighting

405
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: the deep state, the radical left and they're outside supporters,

406
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: the common tess, the NGOs, the crazy judges, is to

407
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 3: spend a year debating and deliberating and discussing a decision

408
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 3: that everyone knows needs to get made, that everyone understands

409
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: has to happen, because all you're doing is given the

410
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 3: opposition time to develop a resistance battle plan, in time

411
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 3: to engage in asymmetric bureaucratic warfare through leaks, through manipulation,

412
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: feeding information to the ACLU, feeding information to crazy judges,

413
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 3: feeding information to radical democrats on Capitol Hill. This is

414
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 3: an unfortunate situation that our country has found itself in.

415
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: To put it in mild terms, that over the years,

416
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: over the decades, that we have developed this deep state

417
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 3: that is so committed to the destruction of America as

418
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 3: we know it. You know, the one of the ways

419
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: illustrate by the way to you know, to newer hires,

420
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 3: how the deep state works is I give this example.

421
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 3: You had good news and you emailed it to one

422
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: thousand federal career bureaucrats. The odds of it leaking are

423
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 3: zero percent, Like you would never go out anywhere total

424
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 3: operational security and secrecy. If you send an email that

425
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: contained one thread that could be used to say, get

426
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 3: an injunction against the policy by the ACLU, it would

427
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 3: leak in literally one second. So in other words, you

428
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: are running in operation the federal bureaucrats that in many

429
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 3: cases are trying to do everything they can to slow

430
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 3: you down and halt your progress. And all the things

431
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 3: that bureaucracy has been working on are all the things

432
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: that President Trump ran against. Censorship, radical gender ideology, critical

433
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 3: race theory, the weaponization of the justice system, the weaponization

434
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: of the intelligence system, of course, most notably the policy

435
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 3: of open borders and master settlement and mass migration, all

436
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 3: of which was made possible by the full complicit participation

437
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: of vast sUAS of the fellow bureaucracy that was implementing

438
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 3: those policies, that was advancing those policies, that was defending

439
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: those policies, and not to mention the worst thing and

440
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: the push to constantly try to perpetuate conflict around the world,

441
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 3: it's solving conflict around the world. So President Trump inherited

442
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 3: a historic mandate, a battleground landslide, the likes of which

443
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: we have never seen before, to implement all these programs

444
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 3: that he campaigned on. And that is why he has

445
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: moved with such force, intention and speed to fulfill his

446
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 3: mandate and his obligation and his promise to the American people.

447
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: We're speaking Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff,

448
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: and Stephen, we know that because of his status as

449
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: a special government employee, the plan all along has been

450
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 2: for Elon Musk to phase out of the sort of

451
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 2: day to day of DOGE and I believe that's coming

452
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: up late later this month. There's been a lot that

453
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: Doge has unearthed uncovered in terms of just crazy stuff.

454
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you mentioned the communist slush fund known as USAID.

455
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: Can we borrow that? By the way, Can I use that?

456
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: Can I use that? We're attributing to it to Stephen Miller,

457
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 2: But I want to say it going forward because it

458
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 2: is a communist slush fund. But there's also been this

459
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 2: question about recision from Congress, meaning that does Congress also

460
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: now have to do a lot or else none of

461
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 2: the spending cuts actually happen. Can you just give us

462
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 2: some visibility into what happens next with Doge? And is

463
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: Congress in a place where because it's budgetary, they can

464
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: actually do some of the things that Doge recommends. And

465
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 2: you know, with irrespective of how some of these judges

466
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: have inflicted themselves on this too, well.

467
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: Like so many things, the answer is all the above,

468
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 3: in the sense that the a lot of these savings

469
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 3: are self executing automatic. So for example, when's the ederal

470
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 3: employees resign or retire and take the payout, you know,

471
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 3: the so called fork in the Road email that went out,

472
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 3: all of those savings are accrued automatically. You don't need

473
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: to go to Congress. That all happens automatically. You fire

474
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 3: federal workers or federal workers are it's called a reduction

475
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 3: in force. The outcronm for that is RIFF. All of

476
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: those reforms deliver both immediate and long term savings to

477
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 3: the American people. Congress has never established a floor of

478
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 3: federal employees. It just grew and grew and grew and.

479
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 5: Grew on its own.

480
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: And so those are going to be enormous and immense

481
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: savings for the American people. When you have agencies or

482
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 3: functions of government that were created through executive action and

483
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 3: that can therefore be terminated by executive action, again, those

484
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 3: are all savings that are going to be immediate, that

485
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: are going to be automatic, they're going to be long lasting.

486
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 3: A lot of the discretionary grant spending to diversity, equity

487
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 3: and inclusion policies, for example, Congress never authorized any of

488
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 3: that spending in the first place. So you can save

489
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: an enormous amount of money just through administrative and executive action.

490
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 3: That there are additional programs that were created through previous

491
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 3: bills that are going to be rescinded. Both in the

492
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 3: reconciliation bills. So, for example, the Reconciliation Bill is going

493
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 3: to cut a lot of the wasteful Biden spending, and

494
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: so you're going to see a lot of permanent savings

495
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 3: as a result of that. And then there's also opportunities

496
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: you mentioned recisions packages, and that's something that the Omb's

497
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: actively looking at in terms of what are the packages

498
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: of cuts that you can send to Congress that would

499
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 3: get privileged considerations, they wouldn't be subject to the filibuster,

500
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: and could get cut with a Republican vote. So we're

501
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 3: looking at everything to lock in these savings and make

502
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 3: them permanent.

503
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: Stephen, are you even you surprised sometimes at the moronic

504
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: positions that Democrats take And I just want to give

505
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: too to you that I can't even believe are still real?

506
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: A Brao Garcia now is we're going to play the

507
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: audio we haven't yet. Wife is on audio begging for

508
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: a Maryland judge to protect her from him, and there

509
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: is a report out there in the courts that she

510
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: said he could kill her and get away with it.

511
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: The video from the Tennessee Highway Patrol just went public

512
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: of him being a human trafficker that was up on

513
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: Fox News last night. You have Democrats going down to

514
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: El Salvador to visit him. The last time I think

515
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: I saw you in person, Stephen, was at the University

516
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: of Alabama where Trump spoke and the where he was

517
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: going to the Georgia game. And then absolutely everybody goes

518
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: insane last night when he says, Hey, as long as

519
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: I'm president, there aren't going to be men competing in

520
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: women's sports. It's not only they're wrong on issues. Are

521
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: you astounded by the ways that they choose to fight

522
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: on issues? I still can't get over it.

523
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: Well, the Democrat Party is so deep in the throes

524
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 3: of Trump derangement syndrome that even if President Trump he

525
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 3: talked about this in his State of the Union address

526
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 3: or his address to Congress, you would if he came

527
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 3: out with a cure for cancer, the Democrats would say,

528
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 3: we are in favor of cancer and oppose your cure.

529
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 3: So they're so disconnected from the needs of the American people.

530
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: They're so disconnected from the oaths they took upon assuming office,

531
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 3: or their obligations to serve the American people, that when

532
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: President Trump deports an illegal alien, gang banger in MS thirteen,

533
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 3: who is a wife beater, human trafficker. They leap to

534
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: the defense of that alien and demand his return and

535
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 3: freedom in the United States as though. This is the

536
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 3: highest parody for the Democrat Party is the freedom of

537
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: foreign terrorists on American soil. Again, men and women sports

538
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 3: another great example where they are. They are fighting tooth

539
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 3: and nail all over the country in our school rules,

540
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 3: in our courtrooms, in Congress to protect the so called

541
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 3: right of men to compete against women in athletics, to

542
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 3: use women's locker rooms, to use women's restrooms.

543
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 5: The civil rights.

544
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 3: Cause of our time, according to Democrats, is the right

545
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 3: of all biological males in this country to use every

546
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 3: single facility that has historically been reserved for women and

547
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 3: to enter every single women's sporting league. So this is

548
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 3: what the Democratic Party is today. I mean, it's a

549
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: ship of lunatics.

550
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, And they can't walk away from this, which

551
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: is even more remarkable. Steven, we've only got about a

552
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: minute before we're going to be running into a break.

553
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 2: I just wanted you to lay out to the degree

554
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: you can deportations. We've seen a lot of great The

555
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: border is secure and I don't. We should never be

556
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: ungrateful for what an amazing job this administration has done.

557
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: It just happened so fast, I feel like people can't

558
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: even believe it. Ninety five percent production, that's amazing, but

559
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: getting the bide in millions and millions beginning to turn

560
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,719
Speaker 2: that around and deport them en mass. Is there a

561
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: plan for this? Is this going to happen?

562
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 5: Yes?

563
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and I wish we had more than a minute.

564
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: So the job number one for President Trump obviously was

565
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: to end all illegal immigration across the southern border, and

566
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 3: that was achieved, of course, in record time, into an

567
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 3: unprecedented degree. Then the focus increasingly shifts towards mobilizing the

568
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: law enforcement resources that we need to expel those that

569
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: are here illegally who need to go home. The biggest

570
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 3: near term impediment to that goal, of course, are the

571
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: corpse and these radical leftist judges that are trying to

572
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: shut down the machinery of immigration enforcement nationwide. So we

573
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: are so Department Justice is pursuing a legal strategy with

574
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 3: the hope that very soon the Supreme Court will swat

575
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 3: away these injunctions so that we can get to the

576
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 3: business of security in the American homeland in full force.

577
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 3: If the Supreme Court doesn't provide that relief. There are

578
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 3: many other options that I will not get into here

579
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 3: and what the president's inherent authorities and powers are. So

580
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 3: it isn't we're only waiting on the Supreme Court. It

581
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 3: is the Supreme Court hopefully do the right thing, or

582
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: we have many other options our disposal. At the same time,

583
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 3: we're ramping up many other efforts bill be essential to

584
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 3: achieving mass deportation. So that includes, for example, enrolling state

585
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 3: and local law enforcement nationwide in assisting in supporting the

586
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: deportation effort, and that's going to be an increasing feature

587
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 3: and focus of what we're doing. We're going to get

588
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,719
Speaker 3: National Guard more engage in putting them into immigration enforcement

589
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 3: roles in a domestic law enforcement setting, which is allowable

590
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: under the twoentity seven G program that's used for set

591
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: on local law enforcement as well. And we're going to

592
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 3: also be working as we are right now with Congress

593
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: to pass legislation, the Reconciliation Bill that will more than

594
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 3: double the number of deportation officers working in the federal government,

595
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 3: more than double the number of deportation beds. Is they

596
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 3: the bullet to the federal government and increase by leaps

597
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 3: and beats the number of deportation flights they're available to

598
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 3: the tell government. So the Reconciliation Bill is also going

599
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 3: to be essential in allowing immigration and Customs enforcement to

600
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 3: do their job. We have a whole series of strategies

601
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 3: as well to expand self deportation. I think you've already

602
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: seen a lot of self deportation from this country based

603
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: on all the reports that we've gotten. We're going to

604
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: be putting that into hyperdrive as well too, and many

605
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 3: more strategies that we'll talk about next time. But as

606
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 3: all this deals come online, it gets put into effect,

607
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 3: you are going to see the removal numbers begin to explode.

608
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: Fantastic. Stephen Miller from the White House, thanks so much.

609
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,200

00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: of Trump two point zero play it.

617
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 6: So far, total investment commitments under the administration have reached

618
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 6: more than five trillion dollars, including five hundred billion from

619
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 6: Apple and US based manufacturing and training, five hundred billion

620

Speaker 6: from Navidia and AI infrastructure, one hundred billion from TSMC

Speaker 6: AI infrastructure as well. All of these investment commitments are

624
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 6: estimated to generate at least four hundred and fifty one

625
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 6: thousand new high paying jobs for American workers and families.

626
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 6: At this point, President Trump has secured more investments in

627
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 6: the United States of America in one hundred days than

628
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 6: Joe Biden did in four years.

629
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: Trump is a deal maker, as we know, Clay, and

630
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: we'll talk more about tariffs wat jd vance about that too.

631
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: But in terms of the economy being open for business

632
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: in this country, and particularly look at things like going

633
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: to maximize trying to maximize energy production, going after our

634
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: our own resources, a lot to be proud of so

635
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: far in one hundred.

636
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: Days, totally. And some people are going to say because

637
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: the negative, given that we're at a one hundred days

638
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: is going to be Hey, let's look at the polling numbers.

639
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: Here's what I would say about the polls. First of all,

640
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't really care. And you might say, Okay, what

641
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: do you mean by that Trump is not going to

642
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 1: be eligible to run for reelection? So I suspect that

643
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: by the time Trump's term is coming near an end,

644
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: that he will be on a popularity upswing, like we

645
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: saw with Barack Obama and with Bill Clinton. By and large,

646
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: did you sign on to this, Buck that the only

647
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: two two term presidents that could have been reelected if

648
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: they had been able to run would have been Bill

649
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: Clinton in two thousand and Barack Obama, I think would

650
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: have won in two thousand and sixteen.

651
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 5: Now maybe not.

652
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: I also think Ronald Reagan, if he had been able

653
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: to run in nineteen eighty eight, even with his advanced age,

654
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: would have likely won two. I think Trump will be

655
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: at his peak popularity. Here's a three year in advance prediction.

656
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: Trump in the fall of twenty twenty eight will be

657
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: at peak popularity because the impact of his trade agreements

658
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: and of his economic policies will be flourishing at a

659
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: high level. I think we will have peace, and I

660
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: think that if Trump were eligible to run for a

661
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: third term, that he would win again in twenty twenty eight.

662
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 2: So I think very attia a lot of we can't

663
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 2: test the thesis one way or the other. I mean,

664
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 2: I think Bill Clinton is incredibly lucky as a politician,

665
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: the luck that that guy had on a whole range

666
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 2: of things. But if he had been in office when

667
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 2: nine to eleven actually happened, the straight line between him

668
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: being an imbecile on foreign policy and missing every chance

669
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: and US getting hit with the worst attacks since Pearl

670
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 2: Harbor would have been irrefutable, even for Democrats. Also, the

671
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 2: stock market crash, also, a lot of things this guy

672
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 2: got out, But justin you disagree that he would have won.

673
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: I think he would have beaten George W.

674
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 5: Bush. I don't know. I don't know.

675
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: I think he would have won. I think Reagan would

676
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: have won an Ada. This is an argument in favor Reagan.

677
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 6: Regan.

678
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: Regan would have been too Reagan would have been too

679
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 2: old at that point. That would have been a problem

680
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: for him.

681
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: I think he would have won because the only reason

682
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: that George Bush Senior one was because Reagan was so beloved,

683
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: and obviously Ducacas was not a candidate. You don't think

684
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan would have beaten Doucacas in eighty eight, even Reagan,

685
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: he would have won.

686
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: You, I mean, if you're throwing in the mix, like

687
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: who he's going up against? You know, Barack Obama though

688
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: running Barack Obama runing against Donald Trump. Actually don't think

689
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 2: Barack Obama would have won. I think Trump, I think

690
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: I think I think he would have won that election.

691
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 2: I think that Obama would have beaten Trump in sixteen. Well,

692
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: remember not you and I disagree vociferously on it.

693
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,959
Speaker 1: Remember Hillary. First of all, I don't think Trump would

694
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: have been the nominee necessarily, but Hillary came within whatever

695
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: it was eighty that Hillary was an awful candidate, right,

696
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: awful candidate she was. I mean even Democrats looking back,

697
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: they're like, man, you know she just I don't know

698
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: who she would have been able to beat. I think

699
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: Trump was a great candidate against her. Ran a phenomenal campaign.

700
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: But I actually think the best campaign Trump ran was

701
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: twenty four. Of his three election campaigns, Sixteen was phenomenal.

702
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: I think he was so well schooled by twenty four.

703
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: Sixteen was more haphazard. I think that this one was great. Again.

704
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: Sixteen was insurgency. He was the insurgency against the machine,

705
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: and just like happened sometimes in real life, the insurgency

706
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: overcame in the superior force in terms of battlefield operations.

707
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: And then in twenty four it was the comeback campaign,

708
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 2: so the Great American Comeback, which so the narratives I

709
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 2: think were pretty clear in both of those. And then

710
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty was the COVID you know, freak show what

711
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 2: the hell is going on? Campaign for everybody, and I

712
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 2: know all the other stuff quote unquote shenanigans. We won't

713
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 2: talk about it right now, but anyway, Clay, I think

714
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: that Trump's first one hundred days, here's what we have

715
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 2: to remember about it. We wanted him to do the

716
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: things we want him to do, the things that he

717
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 2: promised to do, and some of those things are disruptive,

718
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 2: and disruptive things can be a little bit off putting

719
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 2: sometimes to the markets. It can feel a little bit

720
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 2: you can create a little bit of anxiety among people

721
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 2: because oh wait, it's not exactly status quo is comfortable.

722
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: This is why so often, and particularly in politics, I

723
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 2: think people get into inertia. Well, this is the way

724
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 2: it is, so, this is the way it will be,

725
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 2: this is the way we've done things, So let's keep

726
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 2: doing it that way. Trump isn't running again. I know

727
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 2: he jokes about the third term. That's the troll Libs.

728
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: It's like the fifty first state Canada. That's the troll.

729
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 2: You know, Canada and Trudeau and the rest of them. Clay,

730
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 2: he's not running again. We need him to do the

731
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 2: things that a politician who's obsessed with his next election

732
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 2: won't do.

733
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: Yes, And this.

734
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 2: Is what is so key.

735
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying the polling I'm not focused on.

736
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: If he were trying to run for reelection, I think

737
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: you'll look at polling and you think about how that's

738
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: going to play out. He is uniquely liberated to do

739
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: what he thinks the right results are without having to

740
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: worry about the day to day polling. And by the way,

741
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: that is potentially going to run out in twenty twenty

742
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: six when they're likely going to impeach Trump again. If

743
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: Democrats take back control of the House, they don't have

744
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 1: anything new to hit him with, so expect for them

745
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: to go back to the tried and true, failed method

746
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: of the past. We've already seen it with them trying

747
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: to broadcast and attack him by saying he's hitler. I

748
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: think where we are likely headed is Trump has got

749
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: to get everything done between now and the summer of

750
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and then we will see the House

751
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: come down to five or six different really close races,

752
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: and Democrats are either going to have a tiny minority

753
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: or Republicans are going to have a tiny majority. Right,

754
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: tiny leadership. I think that we're going to see in

755
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: the Senate good stuff. Republicans are going to maintain control

756
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 1: of the Senate. So for judges things like that, Trump

757
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: is going to have four years to get his view

758
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: of the judiciary through, get as many different judges confirmed.

759
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: But in order to have both control of the House

760
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: and the Senate, he's got to be fast. He's got

761
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 1: to be decisive, and I think that's what you're seeing

762
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: right now, and sometimes that's going to make people a

763
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: little bit upset. So that's why I'm not concerned about

764
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: any of the polling to the extent it's accurate as

765
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: we sit here in one hundred days, because he's making

766
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: decisions that are multi years in nature. Well, yes, and

767
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: this is why I want Trump to not care about

768
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: the polls right now, because the polls in a year

769
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: as they pertain to the midterms, and the Republican Party

770
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: in its future will matter. The polls right now do

771
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: not matter at all. In fact, all the polls really

772
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: do is give a talking point to anti Trump media

773
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: and the Democrat Party that want to create a perception

774
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: of Oh, this isn't working, Oh this is failing. Trump

775
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 1: should not be doing the things that he's doing. He's

776
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: doing what he promised to do when he ran. He

777
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: said he would take on the terriff issue. He said

778
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: he would get a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.

779
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: He said he'd secure the border. You know, I could

780
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: go down the whole list. He's doing the things he

781
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: said he would do.

782
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 2: Some of these things are, as we've said, a departure

783
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: from the status quo. They are disruptive and so clay

784
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 2: by their very name nature. They're going to create a

785
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 2: little bit of friction and a little bit of uncertainty.

786
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 2: If you don't want that, you don't want change, you

787
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 2: don't want someone to fix anything, You just want more

788
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 2: of the same. I think we all need to remember

789
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 2: that the first one hundred days has been a plus. Overall.

790
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 2: It's not perfect, nothing ever will be, and there's no certainties.

791
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 2: There's no guarantees in life. But he's doing what he

792
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 2: said he would do, and he I think he should

793
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 2: have our full support as he continues to pursue that mandate.

794
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 2: If he had veered off into nonsense, I'd be saying,

795
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: why did he veer off into nonsense? That's not what

796
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 2: has happened.

797
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: I also think, and we'll talk about this more, the

798
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: next one hundred days or so are set up to

799
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: be incredibly consequential. Hopefully we get some form of resolution

800
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: in Ukraine, more resolution in Gaza, and again inflation, which

801
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: to me, I'll hit you when we come back, Buck

802
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: with what the American public from an economic perspective is

803
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: most focused on, and inflation is at four year lows.

804
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: To me, that is the number one laser focus. After

805
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: Biden took us over nine percent, people still feel like

806
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: things cost more than they should
