1

00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: All right.

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: Confirmation season has officially begun in Washington in DC. It

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: started today with the Senate nomination hearing for Defense Secretary

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: designated Pete Hexif. And what a difference a month has made.

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,919
Speaker 1: Written off for dead, at least politically in November, President

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: Trump's picked to run the Pentagon's sword through today's hearing

21
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: with flying colors deflecting Democrat efforts to discredit him over

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: alleged personal indiscretions, and demonstrating strong strategic knowledge about military

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: strategies and technology. Republicans in unison played up hexcess leadership

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: qualities and military career, with a lot of veterans in

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: the audience cheering them on. And when the smoke clear

26
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: of the Armed Service Committee Chairman Roger Worker could not

27
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: praise Hexcess enough for the performance he gave. He tangled

28
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: the Democrats, he won the arguments, he deflected when he

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: needed to. And if there's one exchange from today's hearing

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: that we were covering over at Justin News that summed

31
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: up Hexas promise of how he wants to change the

32
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: Pentagon for the better, it was likely this just watch.

33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: Maybe if you could spend a minute just elaboring a

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: little bit about the wokness, where it comes from, and

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: who will be held accountable.

36
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 4: The wokeness comes not from the uniform ranked senator, from

37
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: the political class.

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 5: On day one on January.

39
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 4: Twentieth, when President Trump is sworn in, he will issue

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 4: a new set of lawful orders, and the leadership of

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: our services will have an opportunity to follow those lawful

42
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 4: orders or not. Those lawful orders will not be based

43
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: on politics. They will be based on readiness, accountability, standards,

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: and lethality. That is the process by which leaders will

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: be judged. And accountability is coming because everybody in this

46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 4: room knows.

47
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 6: If you're a rifleman and you lose your.

48
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: Rifle, they're throwing the book at you.

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 6: But if you're a general who loses.

50
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 5: A war, you get a promotion.

51
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: How about that accountability in returning the war or mentality

52
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: to the Pentagon.

53
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: That's going to be something a lot of Americans are

54
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: going to champion.

55
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: All Right, it's a great time to bring in my

56
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: amazing coast Amanda Head from Los Angeles. Amanda, A big

57
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: day for President Trump, good performance for HEGSS.

58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: What else you got on the radar?

59
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I'd great to see you tonight, Jean, and I

60
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: want to get into more of the news surrounding the

61
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: fires out here in California.

62
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 7: Start with the media aspect of this.

63
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: Jen Zaki in particular, miss circle back herself and you'll

64
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: never guess who she is placing blame on for the

65
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: fire response.

66
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 8: And with these fires still burning, we're facing important questions

67
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 8: about how to mitigate and prevent disasters like this in

68
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 8: the future. In fact, a leadershill need to confront a

69
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 8: very complicated and challenging reality moving forward.

70
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 7: But right now that.

71
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 8: Is not exactly what is happening. Instead, Donald Trump and

72
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 8: his allies are injecting half truth, misinformation, and flat out

73
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 8: lies in some cases in order to score a version

74
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 8: of political points.

75
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: I suppose chils and I am never surprised when MSNBC

76
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: finds a reason to blame President Trump for practically anything,

77
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: but blaming him for the fire response, or at least

78
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: blaming him for making the response.

79
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 7: Worse, doesn't seem to work.

80
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: It was not the Trump administration who failed to fill

81
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: California's reservoirs after record rainfall. It was not Elon Musk's

82
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: fault that the fire hydrants didn't have any water, and

83
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: it certainly was not either of their faults that California

84
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: under Gavin Newsome and Los Angeles under Karen vass as

85
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: mayor and a long line of Democrats before them too,

86
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: might i add, have done nothing to mitigate wildfires. They

87
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: haven't done anything at all except to blame climate change.

88
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 7: And speaking of.

89
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 3: That, CNN did a whole segment around Americans not necessarily

90
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: thinking climate change is the cause of these fires.

91
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 9: It I don't think Americans are making this connection. And

92
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 9: the way we can see this in right here and now,

93
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 9: take a look at the monthly change in Google searches.

94
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 9: Look at the searches for wildfire up twenty four hundred percent.

95
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 9: My goodness, gracious, this is the most amount of people

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 9: searching for wildfires ever, ever, going back since Google trends

97
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 9: began back in two thousand and four.

98
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 5: But look at climate change.

99
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: Look at the change.

100
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 9: It doesn't go hand in hand with wildfires. It's actually down,

101
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 9: it's down nine percent. And I also looked in California,

102
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 9: there has been no increase in the number of searches

103
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 9: for climate change. So the bottom line is this, Americans

104
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 9: are definitely interested in learning about these wildfires. They're interested

105
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 9: in following the news about the wildfires, but they are

106
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 9: not making that connection with climate change. That's the bottom

107
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 9: line here.

108
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: Oh yes, he's silly Americans not making the connection and

109
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: thinking that it's actually the beer rockersy's fault.

110
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 5: All right.

111
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: So the one thing that we have been very short

112
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: on here in California.

113
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 7: It's obviously not the blame game. It is.

114
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: It's certainly not climate change solutions or climate change claims.

115
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 7: It is solutions.

116
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom earlier was talking about Los Angeles two point

117
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 3: zero and creating a new Marshall Plan for California, but

118
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: he is very short on specifics and what that actually

119
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: means or looks like. I haven't heard anything at all

120
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: from any of these politicians here in California about actually

121
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 3: fixing the problem. All right, John, It's all I can

122
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: rant on about all of this because if I keep going,

123
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: then it's just going to be the Intern Show.

124
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 7: So let's get to our first guest tonight.

125
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of the conditions for helping Congress Speaker Johnson

126
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: yesterday saying we're going to make some changes incumbent on

127
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: California before it gets federal aid. That's going to be

128
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: something to keep a close eye on. Also today, and

129
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: I want to ask our first guests about this. I'm

130
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: excited the House passed the bill banding transgender athletes from

131
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: participating in women's sports, or the historic moment two Democrats

132
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: crossed over and voted, with most Republicans joining us. For

133
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: reaction on that and so much more. One of our

134
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: favorite guests congressmen from South Carolina, Ralph Norman, sir, good

135
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 1: to have you on the back on the show.

136
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 10: Glad to be with you. John Amanda, good to have

137
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 10: you on, sir.

138
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: Let me start with the vote today. This was one

139
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: of the promises Republicans made during the election that got

140
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: it done in the first few days of Congress. How

141
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: important is it that this passed early? And also that's

142
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: a few Democrats crossed over.

143
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 11: Well, it was two eighteen to two oh six. You

144
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 11: had two Democrats, which really shocked me. I didn't think

145
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 11: any of them would would.

146
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: Vote for it.

147
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 11: Those two will play a price within their party. But no,

148
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 11: this is long time in coming.

149
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: You know.

150
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 10: You look at what Riley Gains went through.

151
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 11: You look look at what children all over this country

152
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 11: have had to put up with with the insane thought

153
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 11: that men ought to be able to participate in women's sports,

154
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 11: biological men in biological women's sports. So I was excited

155
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 11: about the vote. I think it was a clear cut

156
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 11: what the American people wanted. But it's clear cut the

157
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 11: Congress understands now, and they put the votes up to

158
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 11: pass it. And you Forbiden to do what he's done

159
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 11: the four years he's been there.

160
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 10: It's just insanity at its height.

161
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, God, it is.

162
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 7: Congressmen. You mentioned that these.

163
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: Handful of Democrats are going to pay a price with

164
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: their party, and I think that's absolutely right. But I

165
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: do wonder if the reason they voted this way is

166
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: because they didn't want to pay a price with the

167
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: people who they are supposed to represent. And to that end,

168
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: do you anticipate that in this one hundred and nineteenth Congress,

169
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: with a lot of these, in my opinion, common sense

170
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 3: type pieces of legislation, not allowing dudes to play in

171
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: women's sports, that you might actually have more of those

172
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: Democrats who are a little less concerned about retribution from

173
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: their party and more concerned seas any more concerned about

174
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: retribution from their voters.

175
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 11: I think as you see the midterms, you know, come

176
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 11: get closer, which will be the first couple of months

177
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 11: in twenty six I think you'll see that, and I

178
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 11: think they're less concerned about, you know, what may or

179
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 11: may not happen to them from within the party as

180
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 11: to what the voters will say.

181
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 10: So yeah, I think they will think.

182
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 11: I think that's the reality of it, And but you know,

183
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 11: it's never made since that.

184
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 10: You know, men ought to be playing in women's sports.

185
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 11: It's not safe, it's not fair, and Riley Gaines proved that,

186
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 11: and she had the courage to speak up about it

187
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 11: and let the American people know how she felt and

188
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 11: she was a victim of it.

189
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's been such an amazing ambassador for the cause, Sir. Today,

190
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: the Democrats had sent inside were concerned about womenizing and

191
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: drinking allegations against Hexith didn't really delay the hearings at all.

192
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: But they don't seem to be concerned about the statistic

193
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: that you tweeted out just a little bit ago. And

194
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: I think it's such an important statistic. Twenty thousand illegal

195
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: immigrants who committed sexual assaults were never detained by the

196
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: Biden administration. How do we get that in front of

197
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: the American people so they understand the grave danger so

198
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: many women are in this country right now?

199
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 11: Well, I think the American people get it. That's why

200
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 11: seventy six million people voted for Donald Trump.

201
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 10: When we were in.

202
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 11: Mar A Lago this past weekend, he said that there

203
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 11: are eleven thousand known murderers out of the fifteen to

204
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 11: twenty one million people that are illegally in America. There

205
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 11: are eleven thousand known murderers, the gangs that President Trump

206
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 11: mentioned who make our gains look meek and mild. But no,

207
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 11: we've got the American people feel unsafe. I mean, I

208
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 11: think that played into the election, because it is you

209
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 11: can't go on a street corner in America and not

210
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 11: see the illegals that are here. Every state is a

211
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 11: border state. It's not just Texas and Arizona. And thank god,

212
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 11: we're going to have a change on the twenty first,

213
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 11: and you know, they've got in Tom Holman.

214
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 10: They've got a.

215
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 11: Great guy who's going to start the deportation. It's going

216
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 11: to be a fight because the media will portray it

217
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 11: as is separating, you know, children from families and all

218
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 11: of that. But he's going to get the job done

219
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 11: in make America safe. And we can't afford to put

220
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 11: those twenty one million on the dole that this president

221
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 11: bind has tried to do to support them.

222
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Charis, but I know for a long time you

223
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: have been sorely concerned about DEEI measures in our military,

224
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: and from the confirmation here in today, it seems very

225
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 3: apparent that Pete Hagseth wants to go from a woke

226
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 3: culture to a warrior culture. How soon can a lot

227
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: of the damage that has been done by the wokeness,

228
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: by the DEI, how quickly can that be undone under

229
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: someone like Pete?

230
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 7: Hegseeth.

231
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 11: You know the great thing about Pete, Amanda, he understands

232
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 11: he's been there. Not only is he wanted the uniform,

233
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 11: but he's extremely bright as you as you saw in

234
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 11: the hearings today.

235
00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 10: You know, it continues to.

236
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 11: Me the arrogance of the senators who jumped on him for.

237
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 10: Not meeting with him.

238
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 11: Why would he waste his time with the ones that

239
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 11: he knows are against him in the first place. And

240
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 11: the way he described how President Trump's going to take

241
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 11: it out. He's going to do it day one, and

242
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 11: he'll do whatever he can with executive orders. But the

243
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 11: big thing I think Pete said, there's going to be consequences.

244
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 11: As he mentioned a general who loses war got a promotion.

245
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 11: That's got to stop. And I think it'll be pointed

246
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 11: out under Pete. And he knows where to go. He

247
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 11: knows where to look because he knows his in and out.

248
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 11: So I'm excited as I am with really all the

249
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 11: president Trump's picks.

250
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 10: They can get the job done.

251
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 11: They know it from the bottom to the top, and

252
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 11: it's going to be fun to watch. And with the

253
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 11: bureaucrat scrambling who have had their way for.

254
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 10: The last four years, Yeah, no doubt about it.

255
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: So I want to talk a little bit about those

256
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: California wildfire Amanda's living right in the middle of all that.

257
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: But there's all this request now, let's get help, let's

258
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: rebuild California. A lot of concern that California will squander

259
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: the next round of money like it's squandered so many

260
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: other moneys in the past from taxpayers. Your thoughts and

261
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: what Congress needs to do to make sure that when

262
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: emergency A goes to California, because I know Republic's capacitor,

263
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: they want to help the people victimize here, that it

264
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: creates the sort of change that we don't have these

265
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: travities in the future.

266
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 11: Well, circle back, Jinsaki, She's the one is disconnected and

267
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 11: blame blame it it on Trump. Look, where does it

268
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 11: make sense that you have dry fire hydrants to protect

269
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 11: an exotic fish in the minds of the governor? Where

270
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 11: are there as a Manda mentioned, the reservoirs being empty

271
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 11: in the water going into the ocean. Why is the

272
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 11: Why can't you cut a tree that's near a house

273
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 11: or clear the fast It doesn't make sense and what

274
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 11: should Congress do? As I said at Caucasus this morning,

275
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 11: I don't think we.

276
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 10: Ought to do anything.

277
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 11: I mean, look the victims that had their houses burned

278
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 11: that don't have insurance. There's a reason for that is

279
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 11: because the legislature and the government there put caps on

280
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 11: what insurance companies could charge for houses. And when they've

281
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 11: had caps on them, they left. So government is not

282
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 11: the answer. Gavin Newsoon ought to resign Ms Bass, who

283
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 11: I served with for a while. Whose mayor are to

284
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 11: give up? I mean, they're the ones that are guilty

285
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 11: of the bad laws and the bad environmental disasters. It's

286
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 11: not climate change, it's the fact that they're not doing

287
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 11: the things that most states in this country are doing.

288
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 11: And you notice there's no other states like California that

289
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 11: have uncontrolled forest fires.

290
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 10: But it's them.

291
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I talked to California resident yes and they said,

292
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: we don't care about climate change, we want management change

293
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: in California. I thought that was such a profound thing

294
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: that they understand it's the people that are running the

295
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: state that are the problem.

296
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: It's remarketing.

297
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 11: I feel for the people, John, I feel for them,

298
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 11: But the fact is why we borrow money right now

299
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 11: to pay the light bill and going to give money

300
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 11: to us to a state that really is the people

301
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 11: put up with this and now it's coming home to

302
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 11: roost and then sanity needs to stop.

303
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, hire's win one more before we let you go,

304
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: because I know our audience is going to be interested

305
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: in this term limits. You introduced legislation, the House companion

306
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: version over in the Senate by Ted Cruz.

307
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 11: Chance of passage, yeah, I think it's better. We lost

308
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 11: in the Judiciary Committee last year.

309
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 10: By two votes. We're going to put it up. We've

310
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 10: got more co signers.

311
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 11: It's a eighty eight percent issue, Amanda. The American people

312
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 11: don't think professional politicians ought to live off the public

313
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 11: dole forever. And so hopefully we'll get it passed. Six years,

314
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 11: three terms in the House, six years and then two

315
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 11: terms in the Senate.

316
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 10: So I'm hoping we.

317
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 11: Will get it passed, and we're going to put it

318
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 11: up and if it doesn't, we'll do it again.

319
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 10: We're gonna keep trying until it passes.

320
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: That's one thing we know about. So you stick to

321
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: your principles and you're determined. It's a great honor to

322
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: have you on the show as always. Thanks for joining

323
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: us today, My pleasure, Thank you sir.

324
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: All Right, folks, we're going to take a quick commercial break.

325
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these messages. Ay America. You know,

326
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: I try to eat healthy, but I'm human. Occasionally I

327
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: fall off the healthy eating wagon. You know what that's like.

328
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: Even when I mess up my diet and nutrition, Field

329
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: of Greens keeps me on a healthy track.

330
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: What's the point of supplements.

331
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: Or green drinks if you aren't one percent confident they'll

332
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: improve your health. Field of Greens is radically better. It's

333
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,240

Speaker 7: Welcome back, everybody.

349
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: Pete Hogg Seth was questioned four hours today in his

350
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 3: confirmation hearing, and he seemed to come out pretty unscathed.

351
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: So are the prospects looking good for him to be confirmed?

352
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: And how would he help America's military if he is

353
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: joining us now to discuss that Senior Research Fellow for

354
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: Naval Warfare and Advanced Technology.

355
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 7: At the Heritage Foundation.

356
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: He's also a twenty six year Navy veteran. Brent Saler, Brent,

357
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: great to see you, thanks for being here.

358
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 7: Happy to hear, Happy to he.

359
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 5: Brent.

360
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 7: There were a lot.

361
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 3: Of allegations slung at Pete Hegseeth today. He defended himself,

362
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: oftentimes with humor. What did you think of his confirmation

363
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: hearing today?

364
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 12: Well, I think I joined in a course of watching

365
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 12: it that it was a success. I think Hexit's pathway

366
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 12: to confirmation and it can't come soon enough. For the soldiers, sailors,

367
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 12: and airmen that need to hear and see visible leadership

368
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 12: and getting back to the core mission, which is lethality,

369
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 12: deterring our enemies and winning our wars.

370
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, just said that warrior culture, which I think you

371
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: must have said several times, and you just see people

372
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: nodding their head. There's another part of the military that's lagged,

373
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: and that's keeping up with China in the warfare game.

374
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: Hexit thing today.

375
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: Shipbuilding is going to be a top priority for the

376
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: new administration.

377
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: That's important.

378
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't think Americans realize how much gains China has

379
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: made on that front.

380
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 11: Now.

381
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 12: It was really refreshing to hear the new Senator sheih

382
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 12: He talk about this with Pete Hext that is hearing today.

383
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 12: It's been a clearing call for years by those of

384
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 12: us that know the industry and.

385
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 6: Know the Navy.

386
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 12: It's not a problem you can solve in just a

387
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 12: couple of years. It's going to take a generation to

388
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 12: build back thirty years of basically neglect in this post

389
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 12: Cold War era to really catch up with the Chinese.

390
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 6: Because we've lost that edge, we're barely.

391
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 12: Able to deter them as they are acting with this

392
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 12: very bellicose and high confidence increasingly across the Asia Pacific.

393
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 12: So Navy is not an easy problem to solve. It

394
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 12: was refreshing to hear that come out and again to

395
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 12: affirm that President elect re elect Trump is making this

396
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 12: a priority and that Pete Hext will be his vehicle

397
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 12: to execute that in Pentagon, Great Brent.

398
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 3: I know that Washington has operated the same way for

399
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: a long time, including the Pentagon, but there seems to

400
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 3: be a disconnect between a lot of the senators who

401
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: are questioning Pete today and reality. And I believe it

402
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 3: with Senator Liz Warren who said something to the effect

403
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 3: of your so sure that generals who come out of

404
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: the Pentagon shouldn't go into lobbying positions, and yet you

405
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 3: won't commit, and.

406
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 7: He said, I'm not a general.

407
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: She completely missed the point, and I obviously not on purpose,

408
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: but she highlighted to the American people the precise reason

409
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 3: why Pete Hegseth is perfectly fitted for this job, isn't.

410
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 12: She absolutely And she got a pretty much a widespread

411
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 12: laughter across the room on all sides.

412
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 6: Rightfully, So, I mean, the.

413
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 12: Further up and the more imbued into or invested personally,

414
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 12: you are into business as usual inside the Pentagon, which

415
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 12: has been an object failure for our nation the last

416
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 12: ten years. You get to a point at which you

417
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 12: got to kind of cut bait, and that is the

418
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 12: generals and the admerals aren't too invested in the way

419
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 12: that we've been doing business, and so you have to

420
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 12: make a break. She also was undercut because Pete doesn't

421
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 12: have any corporate connections. That's another problem that's dogged other

422
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 12: senior leaders in the Pentagon. And so he doesn't have

423
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 12: any corporate corporates, affiliations or narratives.

424
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 6: That he'sn't that he has.

425
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 12: Invested in himself, and so he comes in with a

426
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 12: fresh agenda, one that's going to look at what works

427
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 12: to get to that core mission of lethality.

428
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brandon, I think you said something profound. I think

429
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: most Americans don't understand just how much the slippage is.

430
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: We're barely able to deter China, and it really has

431
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: been a two or three decade sort of era of

432
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: neglect of keeping our front lines of the Pentagon on

433
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: the front lines.

434
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: And I want to.

435
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: Ask, what are some of the big slippages that need

436
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: to be fixed quickly. If we're going to stay competitive

437
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: with China, well we have to.

438
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 12: Change the way we operate the Navy. The Navy's is

439
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 12: like a riostat. You can adjust it. You can dial

440
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 12: up the temperature. You can also move off short just

441
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 12: a little bit out and dial down the pressure on

442
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 12: it advisary, and you.

443
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 6: Can move around.

444
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 12: It's the most dynamic tool that a president of the

445
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 12: United States has to exercise American foreign policy and national defense,

446
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 12: and so operating the Navy in a much more forceful

447
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 12: but also judicious manner is what's called for. To get

448
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 12: the Chinese attention in Beijing that we are still a

449
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 12: lethal force. I think they understand that, but they need

450
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 12: to be reminded. I think that's probably something in the

451
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 12: first hundred days. I hope we'll see important.

452
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 5: Brent.

453
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 3: I think that one of the best qualifiers for Pete

454
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 3: Hegseth is the fact that he has seen combat for

455
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 3: many years.

456
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 7: Actually there are gaps, however, though, when it comes to

457
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 7: state experience, diplomacy and things like that. I want to.

458
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: Skip forward to the assumption that he gets confirmed.

459
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: Who are the.

460
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: Types of people who he needs to have around him

461
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 3: to fill in those gaps or of compliment him.

462
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, for one thing, I thought that gotcha question about Ozzie,

463
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 12: And again I've worked with Ozzie and I served in

464
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 12: Southeast Asia. That's not really an important question for the

465
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 12: Secretary of Defense nominee who has to lead this department

466
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 12: in a new direction to get back to its core mission.

467
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 12: And already there are other names that are being meant

468
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 12: that Trump has put in nominees. One is Bridge Colby

469
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 12: for leading the policy, someone who knows the region very

470
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 12: well and understands the strategic dynamics. So Pete seems to

471
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 12: be on the path of being well served in this regard.

472
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 6: But his number one mission, and.

473
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 12: The most important one that's going to deter the Chinese,

474
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 12: quite frankly, is getting that building and our armed services

475
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 12: back to the core mission of being prepared to fight

476
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 12: and win our wars and deterring our adversary number one

477
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 12: in that China.

478
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a herculean task because it has slipped far

479
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: from a lot of those goals, at least in the Pentagon.

480
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,479
Speaker 1: Inside the Pentagon, brend, I want to talk about some

481
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: world events that I think will imminently greet President Trump.

482
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: Iron still acting out today, it's the leader gave an

483
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: interview to CBS or excuse me, NBC saying we didn't

484
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,239
Speaker 1: try to assassinate President Trump as far as I know.

485
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: That's an interesting qualification.

486
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 10: And to the.

487
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: Gaza sees fied deal Joe Biden trying to get it

488
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: done before Donald Trump returns the office. Tell us what

489
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: those two events mean for what's going on in the

490
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: Middle East.

491
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Middle East is important.

492
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 12: Ukraine and Asia should and also escape a scrutiny.

493
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 6: But in the Middle.

494
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 12: East, this deal at homosas we'll take the deal and

495
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 12: release all the hostages in the next couple of days.

496
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 6: But they have kind of defied.

497
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 12: Logic in the past and even for their own self

498
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 12: awareness and their own benefit. So I'm not optimistic that

499
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 12: that deal is going to hold, and we may be

500
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 12: seeing a tougher stance. I ran, of course, is where

501
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 12: all of the chaos in the region emanates frump and

502
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 12: I think the Mullahs and Tehran understand that a very

503
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 12: clear eyed and forceful leadership is returning in DC, and hopefully.

504
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 6: We'll see a moderation in their behavior.

505
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 12: But again, it's probably going to require a little action

506
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 12: to make it be feled in.

507
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 6: That capital.

508
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 5: Brow.

509
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 7: We've just got about a minute left.

510
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you about President Trump's comments regarding

511
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 3: the hostages that all hell will break loose.

512
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 7: What does that look like?

513
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: And are we close to that happening if their hostages aren't.

514
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 5: Well.

515
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 12: It's hard to characterize exactly, nor would it be wise

516
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 12: to try to kind of speculate. But there are numerous

517
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 12: tools that the Biden administration.

518
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 6: Has refused to use, and they know what tools in the.

519
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 12: National security quever they had they could have used to

520
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 12: apply more pressure. They chose not to, and instead they

521
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 12: chose a very public display of pressure on our ally Israel,

522
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 12: rather than to turn the screws on the Iranians, notably

523
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 12: the IRGC and also Hamas. And I think with a

524
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 12: new leadership, I think you'll see a willingness to actually

525
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 12: use all of the tools.

526
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 3: Well, six days until President Trump officially takes office, so

527
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: we shall see. Brent Salder, Senior Research Fellow for Naval

528
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 3: Warfare and Advanced Technology at the Heritage Foundation, twenty six

529
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: year Navy veteran.

530
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 7: Thank you for your servicer, and thank you for being

531
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 7: with us tonight.

532
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 3: All right, everybody coming up Congressman Ben Klein is going

533
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 3: to be joining us next We'll be back.

534
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: Welcome back in America.

535
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 1: The effort to protect women's sports and women in general

536
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: had two big victories in the last week. Today, the

537
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: House voted, as we told you at the top of

538
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: the show, to for law that would ban transgender athletes

539
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: from trying to compete in women's sports. The other one,

540
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: federal court recently ruled that President Biden's Title nine changes

541
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: it would have allowed biological males into sports, that they

542
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: were unlawful changes. Our next guest hails from the state

543
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: that actually brought that lawsuit, Virginia. That's my home state.

544
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: He's actually my home congressman, and he was a part

545
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: of the team that voted today to pass that great bill.

546
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: He is a Congressman from Virginia. Ben Klein, Congressman. Good

547
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: heavy back on the show.

548
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: John. Great to be with you, Amanda, Good be with

549
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 5: you as well.

550
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: Good to have you, sir.

551
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: A lot of people saying in the last couple I

552
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: feel like common sense is returning to Washington. You've got

553
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: that court ruling which Virginia was a big part of,

554
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: and then of course today's vote. Tell us what's going

555
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. Is this an issue that's got

556
00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: big momentum.

557
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 13: It does have momentum, because the polls are overwhelming. You

558
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 13: have about eighty five percent of Americans who agree that

559
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 13: biological males should not be participating in women's sports. It's

560
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 13: just common sense, you know. As the father of daughters,

561
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 13: it's common sense to them. And they're not even teenagers,

562
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 13: so they understand that men and women are different, that

563
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 13: they should compete in their own sex category and against

564
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 13: members of the same sex, and not have to compete

565
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 13: against each other in sports. And so the woke left

566
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 13: has been fighting to force biological males to be allowed

567
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 13: into women's sports, and the bill that we passed today

568
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 13: would prohibit that and prevent that from happening. I also

569
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 13: want to commend our Attorney General in Virginia, Jason Miarez,

570
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 13: who led that lawsuit which overturned the Biden administration's Title

571
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 13: nine we write that would have allowed biological males and

572
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 13: women's sports.

573
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: Congressman, I think the inception of a lot of these

574
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: conversations around the trans issue actually began in Virginia and

575
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 3: Loudon County when that father was arrested at the school

576
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,239
Speaker 3: board meeting. Is it your sense that I know it's

577
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: an eighty five percent issue across the country, but is

578
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 3: it your sense that even in states like Virginia, Maybe

579
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 3: not California, New York because they're deep blue, but states

580
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 3: like Virginia, that it's even an overwhelmingly popular idea to

581
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 3: bifurcate the vendors.

582
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 13: Well, absolutely, I think it's again common sense. Thousands of

583
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 13: years we've identified two sex's. Pete Hegseth was asked today

584
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 13: in his testimony, how many genders are there?

585
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 5: Correctly answered to.

586
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 13: And so you've got this return of common sense not

587
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 13: only to Washington and the laws that we pass, but

588
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 13: also I think you're seeing it reflected across the country

589
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 13: among the American people, and hopefully you'll see that reflected

590
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 13: in the state laws and the local laws, which is

591
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 13: where our education decisions should be made. Unfortunately, we have

592
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 13: too many woke leftists who are trying to mandate this

593
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 13: ideology on Americans who don't believe it, don't want to

594
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 13: see it, and just want to continue to have their children,

595
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 13: boys and girls, be able to compete with their own

596
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 13: sexes in sports in school.

597
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 2: It's amazing, sir.

598
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: I know you went down with the Freedom Corocus to

599
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: see President Trump over the weekend. You've been a big

600
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: champion of cutting government. Dogees creates a moment where the

601
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: whole country can rally about common sense changes. You've got

602
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: some big ideas. One of those the One Agency Act.

603
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit what you learned from President

604
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: Trump about this issue and how your legislation would play

605
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: a big role in it.

606
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 13: Sure, so President Trump is this isn't his first rodeo.

607
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 13: You know, he's getting ready for his second term. He

608
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 13: knows that the Republican conference in the House is made

609
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 13: up of different groups, and so he's politically brilliant to

610
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 13: bring us all down in separate groups to hear from

611
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 13: us about the views that we have. So, as part

612
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 13: of the Freedom Caucus, I went down on Friday to

613
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 13: mar Lago on Saturday. The committee chairs went on Sunday.

614
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 13: It was the Moderate caucuses. And so what you have

615
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 13: are different views, and Trump is going to get to

616
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 13: hear from everybody.

617
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 5: But one of the things that happened.

618
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 13: During dinner and Elon Musk joined us for dinner on

619
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 13: Friday night, was that we got to talk about Doze

620
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 13: and his efforts to streamline the bureaucracy and eliminate inefficiencies.

621
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 13: I have a bill because I'm an attorney and I'm

622
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 13: on the Judiciary Committee, which would eliminate a duplicative antitrust

623
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 13: enforcement authority. So right now there's the Department of Justice,

624
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 13: which has anti trust authority and the Federal Trade Commission,

625
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 13: but we would donate the Federal Trade Commission's authority when

626
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 13: it comes to any trust enforcement and consolidate that within

627
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 13: the Department of Justice so that you don't have differing

628
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 13: understandings of the law, different legal interpretations, confusion and inefficiency

629
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 13: in government.

630
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 5: And hopefully this will pass.

631
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 13: It passed the Judiciary Committee last year, and hopefully it's

632
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 13: something that Trump administration will support.

633
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 7: Common sense Absolutely.

634
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 3: Could this possibly be a prototype because there is so

635
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 3: much redundancy in Washington that costs taxpayers way too much money.

636
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: I feel like this is an opportunity to propagate this

637
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 3: across a ton of other agencies to consolidate to you.

638
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 13: Absolutely, you have enforcement of laws, whether it's regarding competition

639
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 13: in business, all kinds of legal offices within different agencies

640
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 13: that overlap that interpret statutes differently. We have too many agencies.

641
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 13: We have too many departments. I have a feeling Doze

642
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 13: is going to emphasize consolidation. We're going to have privatization,

643
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 13: so letting the private sector come in. See what he's

644
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 13: done for space, and you understand exactly what he wants

645
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 13: to do with privatization, and then you see deregulation, so

646
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 13: fewer regulations, more private sector activity and success because they

647
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 13: have fewer strings attached to all the rules that the

648
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 13: federal government continues to impose. So all these different tools

649
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 13: are going to be at Doze's disposal, and I think

650
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 13: they're going to lean in pretty hard on them.

651
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, exciting moment. It's a real change moment in history

652
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: if we get it right. There's a lot of other

653
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: things going on right now. I think one of the

654
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: questions American have is how does the Trump Agenda get

655
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: through Congress? Is it one bill? Two bills, five bills?

656
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: What's your best sense after meeting with the President, talking

657
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: to your colleagues over the last several days, what do

658
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: you think the most likely passway is, at least for

659
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: the House.

660
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 13: Well, the Speaker is looking forward to leading the charge

661
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 13: to implement the Trump Agenda. He's a smart lawyer, he

662
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 13: knows that we've got a lot of momentum right now

663
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 13: and that we should be trying to pass as much

664
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 13: of the president's agenda as.

665
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 5: Quickly as possible.

666
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 13: So for those who want to first do a skinny

667
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 13: bill and pass some immigration actions and maybe some energy

668
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 13: actions and weight on so many other provisions until the

669
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 13: second bill, which could come as late.

670
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 5: As fall, that's taking a chance on losing part of

671
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 5: the agenda.

672
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 13: So for the Speaker who is advocating for a single

673
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 13: bill approach getting as much done as quickly as possible,

674
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 13: we're hitting the ground running. The Budget Committee is going

675
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 13: to be debating a budget resolution as early as the

676
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 13: next week.

677
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 7: It's pretty exciting, absolutely, Congressman. When it comes to President

678
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 7: Trump's border agenda.

679
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: I know in the one hundred and eighteenth Congress you

680
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 3: all were very, very fired up about four defining the border.

681
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 7: I imagine a good.

682
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 3: Portion of his executive orders on day one are going

683
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: to pertain to that. But what further can can the

684
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: one hundred and nineteenth Congress.

685
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 7: Do to carry that mantle?

686
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 13: Well, I think the President is going to use every

687
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 13: tool at his disposal, including executive orders. But you've seen

688
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 13: tariffs being discussed and I think he's going to make

689
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 13: those part of the conversation. I think tariffs have become

690
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 13: a tool of negotiation, not only for this president, but

691
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 13: for the current president. I mean Bill Biden was continuing

692
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 13: a lot of the Trump tariffs on China and other countries,

693
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 13: and so what we're seeing is that tariff threat being

694
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 13: used to ensure that other governments, whether it's Mexico or

695
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 13: Canada or China, making sure that they comply with the

696
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 13: demands of the people. And when it comes to America

697
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 13: first policies, making sure that American workers are first, the

698
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 13: American citizens are first, and our secure borders are first.

699
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so important, real quickly said, just wanted to get

700
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: your impression. I don't know if you had a chance

701
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: to watch it today, but Pete Hexs has performance in

702
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: the Senate and he's overall messaging about what he wants

703
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: to do for the Pentagon.

704
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 13: Yeah, he's done a great job. He performed admirably under

705
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 13: fire in the Senate hearing today and they tried to come.

706
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 5: At him with just about everything.

707
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 13: You know, my own senator from Virginia, I was disappointed

708
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 13: in the tone and tenor and direction of a lot

709
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 13: of his questions, but I think that he performed admirably

710
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 13: and will be confirmed very soon. I think he's going

711
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 13: to do a great job removing the woke out of

712
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 13: the Pentagon. I think he's going to be doing a

713
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 13: great job of helping to improve recruitment in our military,

714
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 13: because we've got to get those numbers up up, and

715
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 13: young men finishing high school are going to see a

716
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 13: great leader in Pete Hegseth and want to join our

717
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 13: armed forces as a result.

718
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, exciting moments ahead, sir. It's such a great hour

719
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: to have you on. Everyone who lives in shannonigo A

720
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: County knows what a great job you doing. Congress Thanks

721
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: for being with us today.

722
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 5: Thanks guys.

723
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I good to have you.

724
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 1: I'm about I get but to speak to my own

725
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: hometown congressman, that's always fun.

726
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: All Right, We're going to take a quick commercial break.

727
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 2: Let me come back.

728
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: I've got a little coffee on mine, like wire to

729
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 1: fish coffee. We're going to talk about some new things

730
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: on the horizon with them, with their co founder Leah Thomas,

731
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: right after these messages. All right, folks, and welcome back

732
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: for the commercial break. You know how excited I am

733
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: about my newfound coffee. Thirty plus years of the Duncan

734
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: Donuts coffee. By the way, I know gripe with it.

735
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: But one day I sipped the cup of this extraordinary coffee, like,

736
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: what is this? It's called Wired to Fish Coffee. I

737
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: loved it, just a better taste to play with a

738
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: little bit. And then I found out who the founder

739
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: was and what the company stands for, how it takes

740
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: its proceeds every time we drink a cup of coffee

741
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: and puts those proceeds back to good use with Christian

742
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: faith organizations and conservation. I'm a big outdoorsman, a Christian.

743
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: It's really important that we achieve those things. Leah Thomas

744
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: from that great coffee company joins us now to bring

745
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: us an update.

746
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 2: In the new year. Leah, Happy new year.

747
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: It seems like twenty twenty four was a pretty good

748
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: year for Wire to Fish Coffee.

749
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 14: It was a good year. Thank you so much for

750
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 14: your support, you guys.

751
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 15: We so appreciate that we grew really well, consistently and

752
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 15: finished the year really strong.

753
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 14: We were super excited.

754
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 15: About that because it just allows us to continue to

755
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 15: give back to all of the projects that you mentioned

756
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 15: which are near and due to our heart as anglers

757
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 15: and as Christians.

758
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 2: That is awesome.

759
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 7: So good, Leah.

760
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 3: I know from having these conversations with you that you

761
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: all there at Wired to Fish consider this a ministry

762
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 3: When you have new purchasers, new customers, is it your

763
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 3: sense that you get from them that that your ministry

764
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 3: aspect is a big reason why they support Wide to Fish.

765
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 15: I do think that it's a factor, a bigger factor

766
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 15: than I think we had anticipated. To be honest with you,

767
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 15: I did get one guy that was like, do I

768
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 15: have to be a Christian to buy this coffee?

769
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 14: And I'm like, no, do not. If you love fishing

770
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 14: and you want to give back to your fishing industry. Cool,

771
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 14: you know.

772
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 15: But I think we definitely see a strong push in

773
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 15: our comments even that we love people love what we

774
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 15: do around the world, that they care about us being

775
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 15: bold enough to stand on our faith, and.

776
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 14: So we appreciate that a lot. It just energizes us

777
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 14: to do more.

778
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's exciting, and I think there's another moment. I

779
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: think this is the year that conservatives and Republicans actually

780
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: create a banner of conservation as well. And it's cool

781
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: to be in the history of the Republican Party at

782
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt. Yet Old Reagan. Great conservation is great outdoorsmen.

783
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 1: You celebrate conservation every day and you get some really

784
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: cool projects. I like the one in Ohio. Remind everybody

785
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: what you do in Ohio right now.

786
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 15: Well, it's actually North Carolina. That's okay, it's not your project.

787
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 15: They'll be breaking ground here in any day now, probably

788
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 15: early February on some greenhouses that are going to supply

789
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 15: plant life for man made reservoirs to enhance bass habitats.

790
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 15: So we're really excited about about that and looking forward

791
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 15: to seeing how that affects their fisheries and also how

792
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 15: other states see how it affects their fisheries and maybe

793
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 15: adopt some of the same practices that they're employing.

794
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.

795
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 3: Is that tied in with your parachurch ministry.

796
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 7: I also want to tell people about that aspect as well.

797
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 15: It is not We have several different things that we

798
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 15: play with our parachurch ministry.

799
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 14: Is called the Filter Project. They're out of Tennessee.

800
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 15: They go into the slums of Nairobi and they distribute

801
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 15: clean water filters water systems actually to people, to families.

802
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 15: They're one of the things that I think is really

803
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 15: cool about how they do it is if you actually

804
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 15: work with them, you can see where the families that

805
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 15: are affected by your filters and where they get distributed.

806
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 15: But along with the filter, they also tell the gospel

807
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 15: and they find they bring people to Jesus all the time,

808
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 15: and they follow up with them. That's one of the

809
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 15: aspects that White Fish Coffee gets behind is we're not

810
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 15: really about one and done. We're about changing lives. And

811
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 15: that's from if it means giving them clean water and

812
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 15: helping them know the love of Jesus. We want that

813
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 15: to be a process, not just to hey, here's a filter. Oh,

814
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 15: by the way, Jesus is pretty cool kind of thing.

815
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 15: We really want to impact.

816
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 14: Their lives, change the way that they think, and enhance

817
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 14: their neighborhoods because of that.

818
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 2: Just so amazing.

819
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: All Right, You've got some exciting new expansions on the way,

820
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: a couple new blends over the horizon. First up, I

821
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: think decaffeinated tell me about that.

822
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 15: Yeah, we're getting ready to roll out a medium roast decaf.

823
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 15: We had a lot of requests for it in November

824
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 15: and December of last year. We are taking pre orders

825
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 15: on that if you want to get in early, because

826
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 15: I expect the demand to be pretty high, we'll probably

827
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 15: ship those in early February. But that's one of the

828
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 15: things that we're quite excited about. And we're working on

829
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 15: a cold brew as well. I need to get the

830
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 15: grind right and make sure that our instructions are perfect

831
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 15: so that we can ensure that our customers enjoy the

832
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 15: same smooth flavor with no aftertaste with that that they

833
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 15: get with everything else that they buy from us.

834
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 14: I expect that to come out in Q one as well.

835
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 14: So we're listening and we're moving.

836
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: I go back and forth. Sometimes I'm doing hot coffee

837
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: and the I'm doing cold coffee. So that's going to

838
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: be fun to see that. That's going to be great.

839
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 7: Okay, So see perfect perfect example here.

840
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 14: I hear so many people.

841
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 3: Talking about cold brewis what's the difference in processing or

842
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 3: roasting between a hot brew.

843
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 7: And a cold brew.

844
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 15: The roasting process is pretty much the same. The grind

845
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 15: is really the critical part. Much coarser grind is required

846
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 15: for a cold brew, and depending upon the grind, sometimes

847
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 15: there's a soaking process for the consumer. And so we

848
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 15: want to get that dialed in prior to pushing it

849
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 15: out into the marketplace, so that we don't we just

850
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 15: keep being the great company that customers recognize that we

851
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 15: put out good product.

852
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: That's awesome all right. Over Christmas, I got this great

853
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: photo from my uncle. He bought the Justin Newsteimbler package,

854
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: but he had a red color mug and I thought, well,

855
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: that's pretty exciting for Christmas. And I thought, well Valentine's

856
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: Days around the corner, red color mug. What could those

857
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: early Valentine suitors think about right now on your site

858
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: to find the perfect gift for the coffee lover on

859
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: their Valentine's Day.

Speaker 15: Well, we will have the red just the News mugs

861

Speaker 15: back in stock, I hopefully the end of the month.

862
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 15: Our turnaround time on those is a couple of weeks.

863
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 15: We have a couple of other red options on the site.

864
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 14: I have a.

865
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 15: Wine colored one that's more faith driven that's really pretty

866
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 15: if you have a gallon your life that likes coffee.

867
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 15: And then we have a more affordable red one that's

868
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 15: a drink fish save repeat combo that that'd.

869
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 14: Be a great gift for anyone as well. So we're

870
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 14: exploring some other surprises, but those are the main stays

Speaker 7: Welcome back, everybody.

906
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 3: A few headlines to skip to before we head out

907
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 3: for the evening. John, I'm gonna sauce it to you

908
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 3: because I know you've kept an eye on these throughout

909
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 3: the hour.

910
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of big things.

911
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: First, on the Hegseeth nomination hearing today, Joni Ernst, originally

912
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: someone that they were worried might not support President Bond,

913
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: President Trump's nominee to be Defense Secretary, tonight announcing she's.

914
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 2: Going to vote for Hexeth. That's a big moment.

915
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: And then Joe Biden's administration just keeps dishing out parting

916
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: gifts to Republicans. The latest just a few minutes ago,

917
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: securities in exchange Commission filing a lawsuit against Elon Mus

918
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: saying he misled shareholders about his purchase of Twitter stock.

919
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 2: Has been out there for a long time.

920
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: It looks like they're just trying to get all over

921
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: their dirt off the table before they give up power

922
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: on Monday. We've got you covered on both of those

923
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: at justin News. Aman Another that came up earlier today,

924
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 1: a very important person missing from Monday's inauguration ceremony.

925
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 2: Tell us who it is?

926
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 7: Yes, that's right.

927
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 3: So for our first Lady Michelle Obama. Of course, she

928
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 3: was notably absent from Jimmy Carter's state funeral, and she

929
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 3: is not going to be at President Trump's inauguration.

930
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 7: I don't know.

931
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 3: I mean, she's she has always publicly stated that she

932
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 3: doesn't like political life.

933
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 7: I know that it is.

934
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 3: It is praditioned that they show up and that they

935
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 3: you know, be a part of it. But this to

936
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 3: me is not really a big hell of blue.

937
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 7: Now, if Barack.

938
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 3: Obama didn't show up, not only would he miss out

939
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 3: on the very jovial looking conversations that he would have

940
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 3: with Trump, just like he did at Jimmy Carter's funeral.

941
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 7: That was that would be a thing.

942
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be Yeah, there's a bromance suddenly going

943
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 2: on there. That's kind of funny. Yeah, I wonder.

944
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's health related, politics, just not

945
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: running out in public.

946
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it is odd two.

947
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: Consecutive events, and she generally is by the side of

948
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: Barack Obama at major events.

949
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 2: So it's just it's something unusual going on.

950
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 1: I want to find out if it's politics or something personal,

951
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: but we're going to dig into that. I remember, just

952
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 1: not that long ago when fact checkers in news media

953
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: said there's no problem with Venezuelan gangs taking over Colorado

954
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: apartment complex and that's just a fake story. I heard

955
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: today that a judgement have made a big decision in.

956
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 7: Colorado, right, absolutely, Yeah.

957
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 3: Look, this is something that the American people got to

958
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 3: see what they're their own eyes, very similar to what

959
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 3: we are seeing here in California with the fires. When

960
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 3: Democrat part when Democrat policies have taken hold in a

961
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 3: city like Los Angeles, like Aurora or Denver or any

962
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: of these blue areas in Colorado, you start to see

963
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 3: the effects of it. And when we first started seeing

964
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 3: those apartment buildings getting overtaken. We started hearing about the

965
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 3: heinous crimes, crimes of trend de Arragua. I mean, we

966
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 3: all have heard about cartel crimes, We've all seen the

967
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 3: TV shows and all of that, but the things that

968
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 3: they were doing to people were just absolutely barbaric. I

969
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 3: am glad that we were finally starting to see some

970
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 3: common sense in that. I hope that we will see

971
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 3: some common sense in our situation here in Los Angeles

972
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 3: as well. But I want to go back to something

973
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 3: that I think we skipped over. Thomas Massey. I saw

974
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 3: some headlines today, a big hullabaloo about him being removed from.

975
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 7: The Rules Committee because he was the one loan vote

976
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 7: against Speaker Johnson.

977
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 3: If I remember correctly, it was Thomas Massey who actually said, hey,

978
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 3: I don't mind, you can take me off this committee,

979
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 3: so Mike Johnson did, and again, yeah, I don't.

980
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: Think it was a big yeah, yeah, Well, of course,

981
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: don't tell that to the media. I heard today that

982
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: there might be a tax agency that Americans might like,

983
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: not the Internal Revenue Service, but the External Revenue Service,

984
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 1: to start collecting taxes unfeign revenues that often have been

985
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 1: cheated from the American people that may be a little

986
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: more popular idea for President Trump.

987
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 2: What do you think?

988
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: I love it, and I hope that what I think

989
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 3: could potentially happen with something like this will hit happen.

990
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 7: And what I'm talking.

991
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 3: About is the tipping point between the income that's brought

992
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 3: in by the external revenue service decreasing the income that

993
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 3: must be brought in by the internal revenue service.

994
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 7: And I hope that there.

995
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 3: You know, so many times when you hear a president

996
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 3: talk about things he's going to do, it's like, you know,

997
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 3: you get halfway through the administration and the average American

998
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 3: citizen is thinking.

999
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 7: Did they do that.

1000
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 3: I don't even know if they did that, because I

1001
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 3: haven't felt it so much of what President Trump has proposed,

1002
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 3: and something like this, the external Revenue Service, these are

1003
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 3: the types of things that have the potential for the

1004
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 3: American people to know that he actually did it, not

1005
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 3: just that he did it, and it was you know,

1006
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 3: it was just barely a blip on the radar that

1007
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 3: it happened, It took effect, and it gave strong effects

1008
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 3: for the American people.

1009
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 7: I think it's a great idea.

1010
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good branding too, just good marketing. It caught

1011
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: everybody by surprise, like Donald Trump always has. I there

1012
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: are a couple members today at the top of the show,

1013
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: Ben Klein and Ralph Norman, who both mentioned how fun

1014
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: it was to see President Trump in action, all the

1015
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: meetings he was having. It was kind of like Locosa Nostro,

1016
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: the mob family of different family members are coming in

1017
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: to see the Grand Puba. But I think this is

1018
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: a real sign of how President Trump has matured and

1019
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: how he's going to deal with Congress. He realizes they

1020
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: are different factions and he wants to get to learn

1021
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 1: each of those factions separately so he can make better

1022
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 1: decisions rather than his trying to force a marriage together

1023
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: at the end of a bill. I thought it was

1024
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: really interesting. It was a really busy weekend down at

1025
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: mar Lago.

1026
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the revolving doors down there are definitely

1027
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 3: going to need some extra I think that this is

1028
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 3: a great time for President Trump. The media's attacks on

1029
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 3: him have kind.

1030
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,919
Speaker 7: Of puttered out. I'm not puttered out completely, but they're

1031
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 7: not really having any type of effect on him.

1032
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 3: President Trump is welcoming in world leaders and national leaders.

1033
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 7: Speaking of leaders in the.

1034
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 3: Tech space, I just saw an invite to an event

1035
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 3: that Mark Zuckerberg is hosting to celebrate President Trump's inauguration.

1036
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 7: That is not something I would have.

1037
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 3: Expected to see in years past. But you're seeing these

1038
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 3: factions of people coming together because they see that President

1039
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 3: Trump's policies are conducive to change, and I think that that's.

1040
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 7: Ultimately what a lot of people are looking forward to,

1041
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 7: just some kind of change.

1042
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're exactly right, Randa.

1043
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, incredible.

1044
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 7: All right, everybody.

1045
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 3: We are going to be back tomorrow with more stellar

1046
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 3: reporting by John Solomon and his other staff over at

1047
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 3: Justin News. But in the meantime, Grant Stinchfield is going

1048
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 3: to take you through the next hour. We'll see you

1049
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 3: here at six pm Eastern on Real America's Voice tomorrow night.
