There is a brand new lawmaker 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 3: that is unveiling the Walls Act. And that's not the 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 3: walls down at the border. We're talking about the Walls 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 3: Act involving that's right, the man who would be king 13 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 3: in Minnesota tim Walls. 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: But let's get started with really good news. Now. 15 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 3: If you decide at any point in time that you 16 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 3: think that our economy is just not the sort of 17 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 3: thing that you want to be involved with, well then 18 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 3: I don't know how to convince you. Because the fact 19 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 3: of the matter is the United States economy grew this summer. 20 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: So this is lagging this summer at the. 21 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 3: Fastest pace in two years, far outpacing economists' forecasts. The 22 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: Commerce Department said, US gross domestic product, the government's official 23 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 3: economic scoreboard, rose at a seasonally and inflation adjusted four 24 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 3: point three percent annual rate in. 25 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: The third quarter. 26 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 3: The report on the July through September period was delayed 27 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 3: due to the Schumer shutdown, But we are looking at 28 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: the numbers of this and this thing blew the doors off. 29 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 3: Today's blockbuster expectation smashing GDP report is the latest proof 30 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: that President Trump's America First trade and economic agenda continues 31 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 3: to turn the page on the Biden economic disaster. And 32 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 3: more importantly, American consumers are spending and American exports are surging. 33 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 3: And the White House spokesperson Push Desai said, President Trump 34 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 3: built the greatest economic and engine in the world in 35 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 3: his first term, and he's in the process of doing 36 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 3: it all again after it was defiled and abused and 37 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 3: pushed away because of all of the DEI and all 38 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: of the socialist experiments that have been happening in that 39 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: interregnum period that we know as the Biden administration. Gross 40 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 3: domestic product is a broad measure of the goods and 41 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: services produced across the economy, and economists had expected that 42 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 3: the economy would grow at three point two percent, and 43 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: we now see that that is a much higher number 44 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: than they were even talking about. 45 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: Now, I want to go back to the Schumer shutdown, because. 46 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 3: I'm just wondering if they were sitting back and seeing 47 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 3: what those numbers were looking like, and they were looking 48 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 3: to try to drag President Trump. They were trying to 49 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 3: push off all of the good news, all of the 50 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 3: good you know, consequences of this sort of a move, 51 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: and that's why they may have turned and walked away 52 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 3: and not wanted to cut the deals that needed. 53 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: To be done. 54 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: Now, consumer spending grew much faster than expected, expanding at 55 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: a seasonally inflation adjusted annual rate of three point five percent, 56 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: and that is up from the two point five percent 57 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: in the second quarter and well above, well above the 58 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: two point seven percent expected. So if you're feeling good 59 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: about this, your right to feel good. This is a 60 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: very important notion. This is a big deal, and it's 61 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 3: because of the American people, not the people in Washington, DC, 62 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 3: not the people in the House to Senate, whatever it is. 63 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: This is because the American people are going long on 64 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 3: this economy. So let's break this down here for just 65 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: a couple of minutes. Okay, the number one plan that 66 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: the Democrats have is to try to impeach and. 67 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: Destroy Donald Trump. 68 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: But the thing that is the kryptonite to those Democrats 69 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 3: is the economy continuing to surge. As long as this 70 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 3: economy surges, and we don't know what this is going 71 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: to look like when we get past Christmas, past New 72 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 3: Year's and then into that first quarter of that next 73 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 3: year in twenty twenty six, we may be seeing robust 74 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 3: numbers that are coming to life that are going to 75 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 3: make it very, very difficult for the Democrats to try to. 76 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: Make a case that we have got to change. 77 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 3: The direction of the I have got sound bite after 78 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: sound bite after sound bite on this program that you're 79 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 3: going to be able to hear these people in their 80 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: own language, in their. 81 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: Own takes, and when you think about. 82 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: What they're offering up to you, it is thin, gruel. 83 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: It is not anything that you want to consume. It 84 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: is not anything that you want to be a part of, 85 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: because what you see right now is a toxic brew 86 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 3: of ideological identity politics and higher taxes and lower expectations. 87 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: That is what the Democrat Party is going to do. 88 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: The Republican Party is saying, hey, we passed the big, 89 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: beautiful bill, and now it's time to get this thing 90 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 3: into focus and to get this thing in the important 91 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 3: spots that it's got to be. Now again, there are 92 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 3: going to be nay sayers. There are going to be 93 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: people who are going to try to tell you that 94 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 3: the economy. 95 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: Is not good. 96 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 3: They did that with Reagan, they did it with Trump 97 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 3: in the first term, and now they're going to try 98 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 3: to do it in this next term. And these folks 99 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 3: are out of their mind. They're not ready for prime time. 100 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: They are not ready to be serious about the economy 101 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: such as we know it, and they're going to try 102 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 3: to regulate and take you down in a whole lot 103 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: of different ways. So here's the question for you, knowing 104 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: these numbers coming in and hearing the reporting that's coming 105 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 3: in not just here on the claim Buck Show, but 106 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: also around the around the world, what are you thinking 107 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: about in this regard? Because I can tell you what 108 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 3: the left is thinking about. I can tell you a 109 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 3: bunch of things that the left is trying to sell 110 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 3: to you. Let me give you an example of this. 111 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: If I may, let me give you an example. This 112 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 3: is what the left wants you Remember the judge called Boburg. 113 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: Remember Boseburg, who. 114 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 3: Is the guy that was going to spring all of 115 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: the illegals back out from Trende Arragua and all those folks. Well, 116 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 3: Abrego Garcia is now free again. This because a judge said, no, no, 117 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 3: you don't have to go back to l Salvador. You 118 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: don't have to go back to some other place. K 119 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,559 Speaker 3: Abrego Garcia, the three named man is going free. 120 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: I've got cut number eight. 121 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 3: Get a load of his lawyer talking about the release 122 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 3: that's happening. Go. 123 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 4: So the government gave the excuse me, the district judge 124 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: gave the government until the twenty sixth of December, that 125 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 4: is to say, Friday, to actually answer the question what 126 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 4: is your plan for mister Abrago Garcia. Are you planning 127 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 4: to rearrest him? If so, why will then have the 128 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 4: opportunity to respond to that, and then based on that 129 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: the judge will decide whether to convert her temporary order 130 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 4: prohibiting his rearrest into a permanent order or whether to 131 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 4: dissolve it. So, as of right now, mister Bergo Garcia 132 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 4: is going to return to his home with his wife 133 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 4: and his children, and his family members in Maryland and 134 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 4: he will be at home through Christmas in New Year. 135 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: MM. So there you go. 136 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 3: Judge decided that he should go home despite the fact 137 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 3: that he was trafficking. 138 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 5: Right. 139 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 3: We know that, we saw that in Tennessee, we saw 140 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 3: the video of it. We we understand what's going on. 141 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 3: This is the identity politics that you have got to 142 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 3: watch for that is going to be the absolute placeholder 143 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: for the Democratic Party. They're not going to talk about economics. 144 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 3: They're going to talk about everything but the economics because they. 145 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,479 Speaker 1: Have no plan in the world of economics. 146 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 3: They have no idea how they're going to make you 147 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 3: more prosperous, how they are going to allow you to 148 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: be more prosperous. These folks are not ready for prime time. 149 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 3: These folks, in fact, are looking to bring even more 150 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: people into the streets. And I'm willing to guarantee a 151 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: dollar to a donut that you're going to see a 152 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 3: whole bunch of other stuff like this beginning to happen 153 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: because they do not have an economic policy, they do 154 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 3: not have any plans, they do not have any of 155 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 3: these sorts of things that are going to be better 156 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 3: for you. All they have is identity politics, and it 157 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 3: sounds like some kind of a throwaway line identity politics, 158 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: identity politics. 159 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: But that's all they have. 160 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: Hi, are you aggrieved because Donald Trump is in office? Well, 161 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 3: then sign up with us, with the Democrat Party and 162 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 3: we will be a kin with you.

I've got a couple of 182 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 3: great guests are going to be joining us over the 183 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 3: course of the next couple of hours, not the least 184 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 3: of which Bill Raggio from Long War Journal. He's going 185 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: to join us looking at some of these terror threats 186 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 3: that are out there, specifically what we're seeing with ISIS. 187 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 3: And later in the third hour, a very good friend 188 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 3: of mine, father Bill Nicholas, is going to join us 189 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 3: talking about Christmas and about the miracle that is Christmas, 190 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: and I'm looking forward to hearing his thoughts in that regard. 191 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 3: But as we sit here and we look at the 192 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 3: different challenges that we're facing in this. 193 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: Country, we are nowhere near in. 194 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 3: The peril that we were when we were coming up 195 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: into twenty twenty four. The reality is people are walking 196 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 3: around feeling better. The military has never been stronger. They 197 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 3: are people who are representing this country to their best, 198 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 3: and this is something that should not be overlooked. Because 199 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 3: when we had the speech by the President earlier this week, 200 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 3: and the President offered up the seventeen hundred and seventy 201 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: six dollars in bonuses to the military. 202 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: Folks. 203 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 3: That is something that is such an incredible contrast. Why 204 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 3: because you remember when Joe Biden threw people out of 205 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 3: the military because they would not take the Fauci shot. 206 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: They were not going to do that. They were concerned 207 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: about this, they were upset about this. And you saw 208 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 3: so many people sent away from the United States military, 209 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 3: from the from the US military academies as well. This 210 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: this is such a different time, this is such a 211 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 3: different place. It's interesting to me as I think back 212 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 3: about that announcement by the President, and then of course 213 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 3: the contrast with with the Biden administration, uh, disrespecting in 214 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 3: the extreme, uh, the people who serve this country, who 215 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: defend this country, who lay it on the line every day. 216 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 3: And it's so interesting because as I was going through 217 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 3: the prep today, one of the storylines that that struck 218 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 3: me was the conversation between Sean Ryan and and for 219 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 3: a former uh, important person in Hunter Biden and Hunter 220 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 3: Biden is now he's saying, oh, yeah, well, this was 221 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 3: a botched move when we when we got the Abbey 222 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 3: Gate and all that sort of stuff, and it should 223 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 3: never have happened, and my father should never have. 224 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: Done this sort of stuff. These folks are coming out 225 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: of the woodwork. 226 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: You think about it, right, we got we got Rosie 227 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 3: coming out, We've got this guy coming out, all because 228 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 3: they're seeing that the bus is taken off down the 229 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 3: road and the economy is about to get. 230 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: Really, really good. 231 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 3: So what they're trying to do is they're trying to obfuscate, 232 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 3: they're trying to try to make headlines, they're trying to 233 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: do all of these sorts of things. 234 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,119 Speaker 1: But the people who are doing the hard work. 235 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: The people in the military, the people who are laborers, 236 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 3: the people who are driving with actual, real CDLs, not 237 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 3: just yanky pieces of paper that are not allowed to 238 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 3: be on our roads. 239 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: The American movement is happening in a big way. You 240 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: can feel it, you can see it, you can spot 241 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: the steps that people are taking to defend this country 242 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: at every bit, at every turn. 243 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: Why, because all it takes is a little bit of confidence. 244 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: You have to believe and then you have to go 245 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: after what it is that is your mission. If you 246 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: go back to the bad old days of the Obama 247 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 3: Biden administration, if you go back to the bad old 248 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: days of the Biden administration. Look at the people who 249 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 3: were coming through those offices and what they were planning 250 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 3: on doing, and what they wanted you to think. What 251 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 3: was important that was not important to us as Americans. 252 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 3: It was important to them as projects, as little projects 253 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 3: that they wanted to do. And so when you sit 254 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 3: back and you think about how far we've come in 255 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: just eleven months, it's remarkable. People are feeling better now. 256 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 3: AI may be a part of that, no doubt, but 257 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 3: the reality is the American people are believing. 258 00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: They're believing. 259 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 3: We have so many people who have such great talent 260 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 3: and they've idled them. They've decided they don't want to 261 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 3: do the things that they need to do. Well, ladies 262 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 3: and gentlemen, it's clear as a bell to me. We 263 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 3: have nothing but upside and what does the other side have? 264 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: What does the other side have? 265 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 3: The other side has plans impeachments, going after ice agents. Oh, 266 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: that's right, you'll hear about that coming up by Pritzker. 267 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 3: He wants to prosecute in the in the next term, 268 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: the ice agents who are keeping us safe. 269 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: What what a maniac? 270 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 3: This is unbelievable, but it's totally believable because it's brought 271 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 3: to you by the Left. 272 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna get a break in.

And there's a 286 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 3: piece that's running over at CNBC, although I've seen it 287 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 3: in other places as well, and it's a FED chair 288 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 3: candidate who may be replacing obviously Jerome Powell. Kevin Hasseid 289 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 3: says the US is way behind the curve on lowering 290 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 3: interest rates. The National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett said 291 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 3: Tuesday that the Federal Reserve is not cutting interest rates 292 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 3: quickly enough, even as the US economy grew at a 293 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 3: much faster pace than expected in the third quarter. The 294 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 3: top White House economic advisor considered a leading contender to 295 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 3: succeed Jerome Powell after his term ends in May. Hassett 296 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 3: said the artificial intelligence boom is boosting economic growth while 297 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 3: simultaneously putting downward pressure on inflation. So these rates, your 298 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 3: credit cards, your mortgages, all the stuff that your car loans, 299 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: you should be able to get it at a lower rate. 300 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 3: And that seems to be what Kevin Hassett is pushing for. 301 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 3: It's obviously also the policy of the President as well, 302 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 3: who wants to get that thing done. 303 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: Now. A lot of people are talking about the Epstein 304 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: batches and the Epstein. 305 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 3: Stuff, and I want to take this call patiently, holding 306 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: on here.

Is he trying to protect somebody? 346 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 8: Joe, You got to the actual heart of the question, 347 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 8: and it's actually not been reported. One of the reasons 348 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 8: Marjorie Taylor Green got on board with Massey in my 349 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 8: effort is she fundamentally believed that Trump was not implicated, 350 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 8: and she would call the president and say, look, just 351 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 8: get these out. I don't know why you're not getting 352 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 8: it out. And she would tell Massey and me, of 353 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 8: course he's going to come around. And every press conference 354 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 8: we had, we never made it about Donald Trump. We 355 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 8: made it about the survivors. The survivors pleaded with Donald Trump, 356 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 8: you can be a hero. No previous president has done this. 357 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 8: Release the files and what people are asking, and frankly 358 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 8: even I'm asking is what are they hiding? Why is 359 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 8: it that they're not releasing the draft sixty count indictment 360 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 8: when they only charged Epstein with two counts. 361 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: Why aren't they releasing. 362 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 8: The eighty two page prosecution memo of all the implications 363 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 8: he had with rich and powerful folks. Why are they 364 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 8: protecting this Epstein class and why aren't they releasing the 365 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 8: FBI interviews. Every time they do one of these things 366 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 8: of concealing, they're just reading your order further down. 367 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: This is the problem. 368 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 3: The problem that they don't understand is you've got a 369 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 3: guy who wants to get the economy going, who wants 370 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 3: to do big things, who wants to create peace in 371 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 3: the Middle East, who wants to go and you know, 372 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 3: end these stupid wars that are out there with with 373 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 3: the Ukraine and all that sort of stuff. These guys 374 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: all think the exact same way, the same way that 375 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 3: they that they sit back and they go. 376 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, we're gonna find some stuff. We're gonna do 377 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: this stuff. 378 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 3: Why does Donald Trump not want to talk about this 379 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 3: because it doesn't involve him that this is that's the 380 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 3: You see, people get this warped mania when they go 381 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 3: to Washington, DC, and you just saw a strong economy print. 382 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 3: You just saw big things coming. If they can if 383 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: they can cut the rates, if they can do all 384 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 3: of these sorts of things, it's going to lift all 385 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 3: the boats. You've got a group of people who are 386 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 3: NonStop twenty four to seven, three sixty five wanting to 387 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 3: only talk about the Epstein files. 388 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,479 Speaker 1: Trump wasn't part of that. 389 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 3: So it's like saying, mister president, why don't you talk 390 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 3: about the failed coupdeta in Burkina Fosso? 391 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: Well, if Donald Trump's not part of that, why would 392 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: he want to talk about it? Why would he. 393 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 3: Want to waste his time, waste his energy, waste all 394 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 3: of that sort of stuff. 395 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: It's abundantly clear. 396 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 3: The people who are from DC, who stay in DC 397 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 3: just like to continue to be in decent That's the problem. 398 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: They like scandal. They don't want to do hard work. 399 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 3: It's why people get so frustrated when they go to 400 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 3: that place and they sit back and they say, wait 401 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 3: a minute, why are we not doing anything? Why are 402 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 3: we not building anything? Why are we not It's because 403 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 3: it's because they don't understand that you have a limited 404 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 3: time to achieve great things. 405 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: Why would Donald Trump go and talk to this. 406 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 3: Guy, that guy, the other guy, because it means it's 407 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 3: going to be something better for the United States of America, 408 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 3: whatever that is. 409 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: But Scarborough is perplexed. 410 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 3: I can't I can't tell you anything about what I'm 411 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 3: What I'm seeing here doesn't seem to make any sense. Well, 412 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: why would you want to talk about something that has 413 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 3: nothing to do with you if you're the president of 414 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 3: the United States. It's that this is the challenge. This 415 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 3: is the challenge that we have to deal with, and unfortunate, unfortunately, 416 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 3: all the left wants to do is try to kick 417 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 3: sand in your face. 418 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: And the reason why they want to kick. 419 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 3: Sand in your face is because you are somebody who 420 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 3: is not yet being assimilated into the democratic notion. 421 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: That's the problem. 422 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 3: Let's go to Kevin in Boston.

After billions lost in Minneso 519 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 3: to fraud scandal, A Republican lawmaker has reacted to the 520 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 3: massive folding fraud scandal in Minnesota with legislation aimed at 521 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 3: preventing more taxpayer dollars from being wasted at the United 522 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 3: States Department of Health and Human Services. Republican Representative Marionette 523 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:38,959 Speaker 3: Miller Meeks has introduced the Welfare Abuse and Laundering Zillions Act, 524 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 3: or the WALLS Act, which would require HHS off Office 525 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 3: of Inspector General to open investigations into any program that 526 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 3: sees a tenor greater increase in total payments over any 527 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 3: six month period within a fiscal year. So this is 528 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 3: one of these things it says, Okay, look, this looks 529 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 3: like it's going to be fraud. 530 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: This is clearly going to be fraud. What are we 531 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: going to do? 532 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 8: Well? 533 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: Under the bill, the HHS would no longer have discretion 534 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: to ignore sudden billing increases that critics say often signal 535 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: fraud schemes, particularly in large entitlement programs. Oh boy, you 536 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. They're gonna play the old Doge card. 537 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 3: They're gonna say, you can't look at all, this sort 538 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 3: of they're not allowed to see any of this kind 539 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 3: of stuff. 540 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? Why are you trying to do this? 541 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: The bill comes amidst these revelations in recent months in 542 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: Minnesota's federally funded health and nutrition programs that were rife 543 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: with fraud to the tune of potentially up to nine 544 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: billion dollars. But wait, I thought it was eighteen billion dollars. 545 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: Are we not getting the actual number? Is that what's 546 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: happening here? I think that might be the case. 547 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 3: Miller Meeks told Fox News Digital that the situation in 548 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 3: Minnesota is a jaw dropping. 549 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: Failure of leadership. Is it or is it a feature? 550 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: Or is it a mistake? This is what happens when 551 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: fun crime democrats run the shoe, zero accountability. 552 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 3: And zero oversight, and taxpayers are left holding the bag. 553 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: So the Walls. 554 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 3: Act is named for a reason, to ensure that this 555 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 3: level of negligence can never be repeated anywhere else in America. 556 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 3: This bill puts the hard safeguards in place to protect 557 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 3: taxpayer dollars. Shut the door, whole league out. This is 558 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 3: this is something we gotta look at. We got to 559 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 3: look at this in a very very specific way. That's 560 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 3: all I'm saying. And so when you think about this, 561 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 3: maybe mister Walls will be there for the bill signing. Yes, 562 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 3: now approaching Governor Walls and the bill that he has 563 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 3: to pay. 564 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. 565 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 3: All right, coming up in this next hour, we're gonna 566 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 3: be joined by Bill Roggio.
