Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin net and Yahoo.

18
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 4: After the two met.

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: They held a joint press conference where Trent made a

20
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: major announcement about the Gaza Strip.

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 5: The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 5: will do a job with it too. We'll own it

23
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 5: and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded

24
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 5: bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site

28
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,319

Speaker 6: Just can't go back.

30
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 5: If you go back, it's going to end up the

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 5: same way it has for one hundred years and dosas.

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: Elon Musk also met with net and Yahoo. The meeting

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: came amidst massive purges within the federal government, including the

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: USAID program, which has led to Democrat protests. Elon Musk

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: is a central target as he continues to dismantle the

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 3: government through DOGE and now Representative Ayana Presley is claiming

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: Elon is a Nazi and is going so far as

38
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: to call for violence in the streets.

39
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 7: This is an unprecedented moment, a constitutional crisis.

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 8: But we will match their energy.

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 7: With unprecedented organizing, marbiligy, mobilizing, agitating. We will sing in

42
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 7: the courts, in Congress, in the streets.

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 9: Elon Musk is a Nazi ball baby, o, godless, lawless

44
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 9: billionaire Hello, one elected Elon. This is the American people.

45
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 9: This is not your trashy cyber truck that you can

46
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 9: just dismantle, pick apart head sabias.

47
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: We went for the cyber truck pretty loud.

48
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: And speaking of USAID funds, it's been revealed that Politico

49
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: received over eight million in funds last year from this program.

50
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: Other programs include two million to pottery classes in Morocco,

51
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: one point five million for DEI in Serbia, five hundred

52
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 3: thousand for promoting atheism in Nepal, and the list goes

53
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: on and on and on and so. For more on

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: all of this, let's welcome in South Carolina. Congressman William Tenmans,

55
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: Congressman Tenants, thank you for joining us on his best

56
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: report today.

57
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 6: Great to be with you.

58
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 10: Thanks for having me on.

59
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: It's great to have you so, Congressmen.

60
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Democrats in the House Oversight Committee tried to subpoena Elon Musk,

61
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: but it ultimately failed pretty fast. Mindje, you are a

62
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: hard no on this and you're also a member of

63
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: the DOGE subcommittee. Why has Doge and of course Elon

64
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: become such a central target over the past few days.

65
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 8: Look, President Trump and the DOGE team and his administration

66
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 8: are picking apart what is essentially deck of Democrat pet projects.

67
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 8: And it's the reason that we have trillions of dollars

68
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 8: in debt. So all of these ridiculous funding streams that

69
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 8: we're talking about, and the list is really endless. This

70
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 8: is the result of decades and decades of Democrats basically

71
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 8: getting their pet projects into the budget, and.

72
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 10: We got to stop.

73
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 8: We're out of money, thirty six trillion dollars in debt,

74
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 8: we're running a two trillion dollars annual deficit, and Elon

75
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 8: Musk is doing exactly what President Trump told the American

76
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 8: people that he would do.

77
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 10: And look, seventy seven million people.

78
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 8: Agreed that we had to change direction, and that's exactly

79
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 8: what we're doing. The Democrats are squealing because they're seeing

80
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 8: all of their ridiculous spending going down the drain, and

81
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 8: you know, the country and the world's better off for it.

82
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 11: Yeah.

83
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: In congressman, it's kind of funny to me when you

84
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: see them kind of freaking out over what he's doing.

85
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 3: It's like, this is exactly what he was designed to do,

86
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: was to shock you and to do this very thing.

87
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 4: Well, you are in the.

88
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: Dough subcommittee, and you're working with Elon to get rid

89
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: of the massive amounts of federal away some of it

90
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: we just mentioned in your own experience, what taxpayer funded

91
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 3: program has shocked you the most so far.

92
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 10: Well, just the numbers are so staggering. You know, one

93
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 10: thing like healthcare.

94
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 8: A lot of these government benefits that we give to

95
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 8: people that are in need, which is over a trillion

96
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 8: dollars a year, those resources are designed for people that

97
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 8: have certain income, that meet certain income thresholds, meaning if

98
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 8: you make more than a certain amount of money, you're

99
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 8: not eligible for SNAP or Medicaid. So the manner in

100
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 8: which that we verify that is so antiquated that if

101
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 8: you just apply a little bit of technology to it,

102
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 8: you can save almost three hundred and fifty billion dollars.

103
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 8: So what that will do is if we could do

104
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 8: what Missouri has done for example, where they have a

105
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 8: web based system that tracks your spending through your bank

106
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 8: accounts and through different apps that you use for your finances.

107
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 8: It verifies that you're eligible when you apply, and then

108
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 8: it also verifies that you continue to be eligible. And again,

109
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 8: we want to help people that need help. That's the

110
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 8: right thing to do, but we want to help them

111
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 8: help themselves, and the government has created a subsistence culture

112
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 8: where people are just gener relation, generationally reliant on government benefits,

113
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 8: and we can't continue down that path.

114
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 10: We have to help people help themselves.

115
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 8: And we got to make sure that there's no waste

116
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 8: for auden abuse, because right now, the waste for auden

117
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 8: abuse that's occurring in the US government budget is staggering

118
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 8: hundreds of billions of dollars. So we're going to get

119
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 8: to the bottom of all that and we're going to

120
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 8: be much better off for it.

121
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's somewhat laughable some of the things that they're

122
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: wasting money on. But you know, Congress has been in

123
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: a pretty groundbreaking New Mexico has officially begun moving troops

124
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: to the border. This comes after the country cave to

125
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 1: Trump's tariff threats. It's been said time and time again

126
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: that these tariffs were put in place to crack down

127
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: on the legal fetanyl trafficking and crossings. Now, you've been

128
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: in Congress throughout the Biden administration as well, when they

129
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: claimed they could do nothing to stop the open border.

130
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: So Congressman, what changed here exactly?

131
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 8: I mean, we got a strong leader and President Trump

132
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 8: has used the resources, used the authorities at his disposal

133
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 8: to do his job. President Biden didn't want to do

134
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 8: any of this, and the American people are seeing what

135
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 8: they thought to be true, that he was lying to

136
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 8: them and that he was pushing these policies because he

137
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 8: was a globalist shill.

138
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 10: So you know, here we are.

139
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 8: Just two weeks in and President Trump has used the

140
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 8: threat of tariffs to force Mexico and Canada to come

141
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 8: to the table and secure their side of the border.

142
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 8: And you know, it's difficult because I got a lot

143
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 8: of businesses in my district, a lot of foreign direct

144
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 8: invests in my district, and they're really concerned about these tariffs.

145
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 10: But I tell them that I.

146
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 8: Agree that we need to make sure that we're on

147
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 8: an even playing field with these countries, but they have

148
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 8: to do their part as well. And I have thousands

149
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 8: of people in my district alone, hundreds of thousands of

150
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 8: Americans have died from fintannol over the last few years,

151
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 8: and we need to protect our citizenry.

152
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 10: And we can't do it alone.

153
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 8: We need our neighbors to the north and the south

154
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 8: to do their part. And that's exactly what President frump

155
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 8: did and again, what did it take eight hours?

156
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 10: And took eight hours?

157
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, so he's doing incredible work in the country.

158
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 10: Is just so thankful.

159
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: And speaking of tariffs, Congressmen, Democrats have tried to paint

160
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 3: this as an economic disaster for Americans, but Mexico and

161
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: Canada were quick tocave. As Michelle said, China, on the

162
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: other hand, is trying to impose retaliatory tariffs.

163
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 12: On the US.

164
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: What is your reaction to that and how do you

165
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: think that's going to play out?

166
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 10: You know it's going to take time.

167
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 8: They're obviously our biggest trading partner and our biggest adversary,

168
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 8: but they're in it for completely different reasons. China and

169
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 8: Mexico are our allies and they want to be equitable

170
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 8: trading partners.

171
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 10: China wants to take over the world.

172
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 8: So, you know, the one of the big things that

173
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 8: helped my district and many other like it is the

174
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 8: removal of the amenimous loophole. So decades ago they set

175
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 8: the number at eight hundred. If it's under eight hundred

176
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 8: dollars coming in the country, you don't have to pay

177
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 8: tax on it.

178
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 10: So what in China do and China.

179
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 8: Did all of their packages individually wrapped, sent them over

180
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 8: all hundred hundred dollars, and the ones that weren't under

181
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 8: eight hundred dollars they said they were. So it was

182
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 8: a huge competitive advantage and it really destroyed our businesses,

183
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 8: our domestic businesses' ability to be competitive in the global economy.

184
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 8: So Trump ended that, and China is going to always

185
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 8: try to find a way to get around it. But

186
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 8: you know, they're not our friends, but we have to

187
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 8: hold them accountable because we can't keep losing economically to them.

188
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 10: It's not long term sustainable.

189
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 8: So President Trump's doing exactly what he needs to do,

190
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 8: and I think we're going to see this one play

191
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 8: out further. Obviously, with Mexico and Canada, he said twenty

192
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 8: five percent, probably because he didn't really intend to do

193
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 8: what he wanted to create the desired effect. With China

194
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 8: it was lower ten percent. We need to make things

195
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 8: in America. We can't reliant on foreign manufacturing. It's not

196
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 8: good long term and we need those jobs here.

197
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 10: But this is the thing.

198
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 8: The reasons these jobs went overseas is because of the

199
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 8: insane regulations environmental labor standards that we have imposed on

200
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 8: our US economy, just the permitting process, the regulatory burden.

201
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 8: So when do we remove all that, when we unleash

202
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 8: US energy, we're going to be able to compete again

203
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 8: from a manufacturing perspective, and that's what's going to matter

204
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 8: long term, and that's going to make sure that the

205
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 8: American dream is secure for another generation or two.

206
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: Staying on the topic of the economy, you are on

207
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: the Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Inclusion, hoding

208
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: in on what is becoming a major policy issue cryptocurrency.

209
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: Where's the future of crypto headed? And is the US

210
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: able to make gains in the crypto world while maintaining

211
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: economic dominance, especially when you start mentioning China, we have

212
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: deep seek Now, all of.

213
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 8: These things are along the same line. So the crypto

214
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 8: community has been begging Congress for regulatory certainty. The Biden

215
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 8: administration was essentially refusing to create the regulatory structure that

216
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 8: would allow crypto to flourish.

217
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 10: So we are.

218
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 8: Going to pass legislation. Trump's gonna sign it. We're gonna

219
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 8: have a big party at the White House. This will

220
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 8: probably be in the next few months. And what that's

221
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 8: gonna do is it's gonna give them the rules of

222
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 8: the road to grow and to invest, because with the

223
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,119
Speaker 8: SEC and the CFTC constantly changing the rules and regulating

224
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 8: through enforcement and really finding businesses just randomly, that's not helpful.

225
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 8: And what that was doing is it was pushing the

226
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 8: future of digital assets overseas, and that's been acceptable. The

227
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 8: United States economy. That needs to always be the best

228
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 8: place to start to build and grow a business, to

229
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 8: start a family, to grow family.

230
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: Congressman, I wish we had more time with you, but

231
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: thank you so much for being with us today, and keep.

232
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 4: Up the good work in Washington. Thank you for having

233
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 4: me on all right, and stick with Special Report.

234
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 12: We'll be right back with more.

235
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Special Reports. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netan

236
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: Yahoo is meeting with American lawmakers on Capitol Hill today

237
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 2: during his week long visit to the US. Net and

238
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 2: Yaho spoke with a group of senators today as tensions

239
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: between Israel and Hamastra main high. The Israeli Prime Minister's

240
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: meetings with congressional leaders comes just days after his visit

241
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: to the White House. President Trump has signaled in recent

242
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: days strong support for our allies in the Middle East,

243
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: announcing plans to take over Gaza during a White House

244
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: press conference, Bo, what do you think about all of this?

245
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: I mean this seeds like a crucial time for Prime

246
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: Minister Benjamin net Yahoo to be meeting with Trump with

247
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: everything going on in the.

248
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: Middle East, without a doubt, and I think his entry

249
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: just a couple of days ago was pretty iconic. I mean,

250
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: they really rolled out the pageantry in the regalley form,

251
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: which I think is actually deserved. I think what President

252
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 3: Trump is trying to do is solidify once again the

253
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 3: unity of our two nations. It's important to show strength

254
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: with Israel. It's important to show strength against Thamas. This

255
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: whole idea that Trump has floated about taking over Gaza,

256
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: I think is it's not as crazy as people think

257
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: that it is. It's bold. It's the art of the deal.

258
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: It's throwing an idea out there that people say, hmm,

259
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: that sounds crazy, and then once you listen to it,

260
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 3: listen to the minutia of actually what he's saying, you realize, oh,

261
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 3: there's actually some truth behind it, there's some intelligence behind it.

262
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: We just got to get through how to work through

263
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 3: those things. But my concern, frankly, only is something I

264
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: said a couple of days ago, with this hostage release,

265
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: I'm concerned about Palestinians going back into to that area

266
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 3: and being bad eggs. That's what Netanyahu is worried about.

267
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 3: I know he's got some trouble with his cabin over

268
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 3: there and unifying everybody. But it's simply kind of like

269
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: what we did with Afghanistan. When you start releasing back

270
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: people back into that territory and they were bad people before,

271
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: do you think they're going to be bad again? I'd

272
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: say the probability is pretty.

273
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: High, absolutely, and that has been what we've seen throughout

274
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: so many different parts of this region. You know, these

275
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: terrorist organizations, you try to, you know, really eliminate one

276
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: of them, and more just continue to pop up in

277
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: their place. Just to say, even if you were to

278
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 2: eliminate Hamas, not to say that these Palestinian prisoners that

279
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: you're releasing, that there's going to be a new terrorist

280
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: organization that ends up spawning up. I will say, though,

281
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 2: this is the Trump effect. This is what President Trump

282
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: was saying at that press conference that he had at

283
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: mar A Lago, you know, saying that all hell would

284
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: break out if the hostages weren't released, and we saw,

285
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: you know, even before he took you know, his administration back,

286
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: you know, took the White House back, those hostages were released.

287
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: So I think, you know, really staying strong, and that

288
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: is definitely how he's leading at this point in time here.

289
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: Bo. Yeah, and I know that it was a couple

290
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: months ago. Those of you watch special Report probably saw

291
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: that we had the cousin of Omer Neutron and at

292
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: the time, his family thought that he was alive. This

293
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: was an Israeli American hostage. I believe he had dual

294
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 3: citizenship and he went back to Israel to fight in

295
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: the war, and for a year, for over three hundred

296
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: and sixty five days, his family actually thought he was alive,

297
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: and they came to found out only a couple of

298
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: weeks ago that he actually had been dead for a year.

299
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: So you think about these these these hostages being released,

300
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: those that we aren't even certain are they alive, are

301
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: they dead? We don't really know. And I think that's

302
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: why it's really important, Emily that Prime Minister Netanyau is here.

303
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: I think it's significant that it is the first foreign

304
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: leader to visit here. You know, he appointed Mi Kakabi

305
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 3: as ambassador to Israel. That's a strong statement. He has

306
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: Steve Whitkoff as a Special Envoy to the Middle East,

307
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: so I think he's making all the right moves. And

308
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: you know, let's not forget in the first Trump term

309
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: he had Jared Kushner negotiaing all of the Abraham Peace Accords.

310
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 3: He's got strength in the lease and that's something emily

311
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: that Joe Biden never had. People often said that Joe

312
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: Biden was weak in a lot of areas, but foreign

313
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: policy was one of his worst, and we saw that

314
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 3: play out in Afghanistan. So I think this is an

315
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: opportunity right now to reset, get the Middle East back

316
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: into order, and hopefully show strength with our best ally,

317
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 3: which I would say is Israel.

318
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

319
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: And you know, as I was saying earlier, President Trump,

320
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: really this is the moment that he does need to

321
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: be strong. He needs to show that the United States

322
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: is backing Israel. You know, it kind of seems like

323
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: this is the end of their fight here, getting the

324
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: US hostages released, you know, giving to that ceasefire agreement,

325
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: really trying to quell the tentions over there, and hopefully

326
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: President Trump is going to be.

327
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: Successful with that.

328
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: But I think, you know, should the Biden administration face

329
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: any kind of repercussions for their you know, kind of

330
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: soft role that they played in Gaza and their soft

331
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: role that they played, and even just Hamas rising to

332
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: power like this, is President Trump going to be able

333
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: with all of these different people in his cabinet he's

334
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: been able to get confirmed. Is he going to investigate

335
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: the bidens for the roles that they, you know, that

336
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: the administration played.

337
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: I would certainly hope so. But Emily, if we're being honest,

338
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: we have to go back even further. Look at Hillary

339
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: Clinton and Benghazi. Those are crimes that never really got

340
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 3: a closer look. We have to look at what Hillary

341
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: Clinton did. If you go back and you look at

342
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 3: the Middle East and the missteps that were made by

343
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 3: previous administrations Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with Benghazi leaving

344
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: I believe it was our ambassador and several other people dead.

345
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: You look at the withdrawal from Afghanistan, thirteen of our

346
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 3: Americans dead, thirteen Marines. This is inexcusable and so absolutely

347
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: we should look back. That's why Joe Joe Biden should

348
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: frankly pardon himself for being honest. I hope that there

349
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 3: is accountability from past administrations. But the same time, Emily,

350
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: we have to look for where we'd have to be

351
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 3: proactive about this. I think that's why Donald Trump is

352
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: showing such strengthen the least right now.

353
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely, bo and I know we do want to welcome

354
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 2: in retire General Thomas mcerney McK and Ernie Rather. He

355
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 2: is also the author of a couple best selling books. General,

356
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: We really appreciate you being with us to weigh in

357
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: on all of this here today. President Trump has been

358
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: receiving a lot of backlash for his recent remarks saying

359
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 2: that his proposal is to essentially breaking international laws with

360
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: trying to go into Gaza. That has been the backlash

361
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: and the criticism of his recent remarks. Walk us through

362
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: the President's plan. How is this really going to work out?

363
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: Well, I guess we've lost our guest. Well, Emily, the

364
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 3: bottom line is that we don't know how this is

365
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: going to work. And I wish we did have the guests,

366
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 3: because you know, having expertise like this is critical in

367
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: a moment this It's an interesting move, it's a bold move.

368
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 3: But I think once again, President Trump has great advisors

369
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 3: around him. He's got wonderful people that are forward thinking.

370
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: We've got to reset ourselves in the Middle East and

371
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 3: most importantly get rid of charister organizations. And it's like

372
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 3: what you said earlier. You can cut part of a

373
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 3: snake off, but the tail can grow back. If you

374
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 3: don't cut it off at the head, then unfortunately, the

375
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 3: snake tends to grow back.

376
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 4: Absolutely, bo.

377
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: And I think, you know, the most important thing is

378
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: really taking a look at the home front here, taking

379
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 2: a look at our military. Right if for whatever reason,

380
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 2: the US did have to get involved in that kind

381
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 2: of capacity, I think it's really great with what they've

382
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: been doing with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth getting confirmed

383
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: everything that he's been doing with our military, to try

384
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: to really focus on focus on that strength that we've

385
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: been talking about throughout this conversation.

386
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 5: BO.

387
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: I know, President Trump has been wasting no time during

388
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: this second administration here to really focus on that focus

389
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: on bringing that strength back to our military. Signed a

390
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: few executive orders earlier this week, one with banning transgenders

391
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: in the military, banning these deied diversity you know kind

392
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: of policies, and really getting back to focusing on how

393
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: can we be strong. How can we make sure that

394
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 2: all of our our foreign adversaries and all of our

395
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 2: allies that we need to protect across the globe are

396
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: really you know, seeing the might of the US military strength.

397
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, peace through strength. I mean they've said this for

398
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: a long long time now. And you think about back

399
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 3: in the first Trump term two with General Solomony in Iran.

400
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 3: He knocked him out pretty quickly. Iran didn't even retaliate

401
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: because they can't. They don't know how to. So I

402
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,239
Speaker 3: think peace through strength is what he wants. Let's not

403
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 3: get involved in unnecessary military activity. We don't have to.

404
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: But peace through strength, I think is Trump's message. It's

405
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 3: been his message, It'll continue to be his message.

406
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely bo And.

407
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 3: In a shocking new revelation, the US Border Patrol Chief

00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: President Trump and his executive orders have sent massive shock

437
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: waves across the world and how far are we in

438
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: though not that far. It's really astonishing to see now.

439
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: The US Border Patrol Chiefs says there is a ninety

440
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: percent decrease in illegal entry since January twenty first, and

441
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: criminal prosecutions are up almost fifty two percent.

442
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 13: All we did was a president that was going to

443
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 13: empower us, a strong leader like President Trump, and then

444
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 13: a secretary like Secretary Nome that knows exactly what we

445
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 13: need to do to secure the border. We're seeing almost

446
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 13: a ninety percent decrease in illegal entries since January the

447
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 13: twenty first. Not only that, but our criminal prosecutions of

448
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 13: those were apprehending is up almost fifty two percent. You

451
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 13: ice making those arrests and so look portoal how to

452
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 13: secure the border. All we needed was an administration that

453
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 13: would let us enforce the law. And we're out there

454
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 13: and we are seeing phenomenal gains on the board.

455
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,880

Speaker 3: Well, Sam, you are particularly fired up about this issue

460
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 3: of birthright citizenship, and part of that has to do

461
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 3: with your time living in California, So explain that experience

462
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 3: to us.

463
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 15: Well, hey, guys, I have to tell you, you know, a

464
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 15: lot of arguments about this back and forth, and obviously Trump,

465
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 15: you know, this was a day one executive order, so Trump,

466
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 15: you know, put the kibosh on it, and he's getting

467
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 15: you know, some fight back in the courts. But you know,

468
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 15: I remember, you know, I was living in a place

469
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 15: called Irvine before I moved to Nevada, and you know,

470
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 15: I had a house next to me. It was a

471
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 15: high end, multimillion dollar home. And you know, every few

472
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 15: weeks a new you know, woman who you know looked

473
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 15: like she was from China would show up, very pregnant.

474
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 14: She would then have a baby.

475
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 15: There were probably four or five of them in this

476
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 15: house at any given time, all women, all with kids.

477
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 15: They would come, they would go, and that was you know,

478
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 15: that was that. It was just you know, happened in

479
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 15: the neighborhood. And some people would report it whatever and

480
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 15: go back and forth But my point is there is

481
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 15: simply no rational argument for allowing people to take advantage

482
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 15: of our immigration system like this, and and Trump is

483
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 15: absolutely right to fight on this. In fact, you know,

484
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 15: I've read that recently he shut down a number of

485
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 15: these birthing houses, which are just factories. It's like one

486
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 15: hundred thousand dollars a pop that these you know, human

487
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 15: smugglers are charging to you know, bring people into our

488
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 15: country just so they can give birth, you know, and

489
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 15: get a US passport for their kid birthing houses.

490
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 4: It's quite a genius idea. If you're on the other

491
00:23:59,280 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 4: side of it.

492
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: I have to ask, though, did you ever speak to

493
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: the owner of the house or see you anyone familiar

494
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: try to investigate on who's running this?

495
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 3: Oh?

496
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 15: Yeah, no, I mean, look, it was a tight knit

497
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 15: community and a lot of you know, high net worth

498
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 15: individuals and people you know, you know that we're interested in.

499
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 15: So people would call the police and say, wow, you know,

500
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 15: we can't really do anything about it.

501
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 14: And this was you know, this was before the first

502
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 14: Trump presidency.

503
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 15: During Trump's first presidency, I then heard that there were

504
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 15: a number of prosecutions. So, you know, Trump's credit, you know,

505
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 15: you know, from twenty seventeen to to twenty you know,

506
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 15: twenty twenty twenty one, there were some you know, efforts

507
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 15: to put a.

508
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 14: You know, to put a stop to it. But then

509
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 14: you know what I.

510
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 15: Heard is for the following four years under Biden, it

511
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 15: just got worse and worse. But here's the best news, right,

512
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 15: you guys are talking about all of these executive orders

513
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 15: and the crackdown. One of the effects from this is,

514
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 15: you know, whether the executive order is currently an effect

515
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 15: or not, it's already dissuading, for example, the Chinese from

516
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 15: doing this, and and they're one of the big offenders.

517
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 15: So I was reading that the word is out and

518
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 15: on Chinese social media sites now they're saying, hey, don't

519
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 15: come to America, you know, go to Canada. Try Canada instead,

520
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 15: like they're easier on it. So it's you know, I

521
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 15: got to say, like, you have to hand it to Trump.

522
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 15: It's already having an effect, right, it's already having a

523
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 15: chilling effect on on their you know, program to bring

524
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 15: people over here.

525
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 3: Sam, I'm curious just about that in general, when when

526
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: the Chinese come over and they do this in these

527
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 3: birthing houses, is there and I'm just I'm fixated today.

528
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can't get off the birth because it's.

529
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 14: A real word like they use, that's that's the word

530
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 14: for it.

531
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 3: Well, it happens here in South Florida actually with a

532
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: lot of the Russian community that that's very common. That

533
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 3: happens here too, So we're we're well aware of it.

534
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 3: But with the Chinese, is this just a desire for

535
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 3: them to come here to have a better life, so

536
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: to speak? Or is there any sort of nefarious motive

537
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 3: in terms of what the CCP may be trying to do.

538
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 3: You think about the Confucius Institutes, all the different methods

539
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: that they have of kind of infiltrating us from the

540
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 3: inside out. Is there any sort of ulterior motive other

541
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: than just trying to become an American citizen through birthright citizenship.

542
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 14: But it's a great question.

543
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 15: One of the things that I've absolutely heard is that

544
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 15: this is in part sponsored by the Communist Party in China,

545
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 15: that they will help contribute to this, and they'll get

546
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 15: you know, party members, people that they trust, of course

547
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 15: politically reliable persons and citizens from that country to do this.

548
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 15: And you know, it is a huge national security problem

549
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 15: for the us to suddenly have you know, thousands upon thousands,

550
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 15: if not, you know, eventually in the you know, hundreds

551
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 15: of thousands of Chinese nationals who are loyalists to the

552
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 15: Chinese Communist Party have citizenship here and be able to vote.

553
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's crazy.

554
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a massive security threat.

555
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: You know, I want to move on from this because

556
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: we could really talk.

557
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 4: About this all day. That's why we're sticking on it.

558
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: But you know, everyone is still celebrating all of the

559
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: GOP wins, but midterms are going to be here before

560
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: we know it, and we need to start thinking about

561
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: those You moved from California to Nevada, and for the

562
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: first time in nearly twenty years, the GOP now leads

563
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: Democrats in Nevada voter roles. So how do you think

564
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: that happened? And what are you noticing there in your

565
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: new home state.

566
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 15: Well, I think that a lot of Californians who are

567
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 15: frustrated Republicans like me self selected out of California. So

568
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 15: I think that's that's just one of the things that

569
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,479
Speaker 15: has happened, and and and and that's self evident right

570
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 15: when I talk to people here.

571
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 14: But the second thing I'll say is.

572
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 15: I do think that Nevada, you know, we do see

573
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 15: what's happening in California, and California has gone over such

574
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 15: an insane cliff that that there's a you know that

575
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 15: there's just a lot more common sense here. And you know,

576
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 15: we don't have the weather. You know, we don't have

577
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 15: the beaches. You know, we're in the desert. So if

578
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 15: we do not you know, keep some you know, semblance

579
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 15: of common sense here, then I think then I think

580
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 15: it's all out the door and issues like you know,

581
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 15: as simple as it sounds, you know, the trans issue,

582
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 15: and and and girls and in you know, men and

583
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 15: women's bathrooms and space, you know, common sense things that

584
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 15: that Trump has led with, you know, on the Republican

585
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 15: side was a winning issue. Trump won the state. You know,

586
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 15: we had a we had a we had a great win.

587
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 15: And I think, you know, in the next round in

588
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 15: the mid terms, if we can get some solid Republican

589
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 15: candidates here, we may pick up a seat or two

590
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 15: and it will make a difference, you know, in the

591
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 15: midterm elections. So you're absolutely right. You know, Nevada is

592
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 15: a state to watch right now, as is New Jersey.

593
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 15: Things are happening and it's part of a red wave

594
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 15: that I think is going to grow, you know, in

595
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 15: twenty twenty six.

596
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 3: Well, Sam, let me ask you about that, because here

597
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 3: in Florida, we took a lot of influx of you know,

598
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 3: people on the East coast, New Yorker's, New Jersey, even

599
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: Californians as well, and the politics didn't change. They actually

600
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: got more red because they saw good leadership under DeSantis.

601
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 3: You look at a lot of Californians went to Austin.

602
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: They made Austin quite liberal in blue. So my question

603
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: to you is this what you're this this phenomenon you're

604
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 3: describing about going going to Nevada. Is that sensible Republicans

605
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: that have had enough of California and so they're the

606
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: ones have creating the exodus or is it a change

607
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 3: in thought where let's say, the Democrats that are leaving

608
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: California actually having a come to Jesus, if you will,

609
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: in changing their politics. Well, it might be a little

610
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 3: bit of both. Actually, you know, there's there's not a

611
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 3: lot of good data on this. Uh, but but you know,

612
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: I I talked to you know, hundreds of people, and

613
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: I interact with, you know, with with a lot of

614
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 3: folks here, and I've got a radio show, and and

615
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 3: so I I from from my you know, analysis of it,

616
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: I think that there are one a number of of

617
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,239
Speaker 3: Republicans who just felt like they just were getting you know,

618
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: outvoted every single time in California, that they were never

619
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: going to turn things around. But I also do believe

620
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 3: I think I think you're right. I think there's a

621
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: number of people here who maybe were middle of the road,

622
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: who would have been previously you know, independent, worth to

623
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 3: sit things out or like uh huh, I can I

624
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 3: cannot have happened here, what was going on in LA

625
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 3: that was going on in San.

626
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 14: Francisco or elsewhere. So you know, I it it.

627
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 15: You know, California is a cautionary tale, particularly coming out

628
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 15: of COVID A day for New York. I mean, same thing, right,

629
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 15: People came out of New York because it was such

630
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 15: a mess, it was such a disaster, and they came

631
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 15: to Florida and we're like, oh my gosh, this is freedom,

632
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 15: this is amazing.

633
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what.

634
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: We have a lot of Canadians down in Florida right

635
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: now too, same situation. Could not stand Canada's policies, and

636
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't blame them there either. But new today, a

637
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: federal judge just limited Doges access to sensitive Treasury Department

638
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: payment system records. Now this comes as Doges facing multiple lawsuits.

639
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: Given your background, how do you think this is going

640
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: to play out with Doge and Elon Musk?

641
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 15: Well, I think it's going to pour, you know, work

642
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 15: out poorly for you know, whoever's bringing the lawsuit.

643
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 14: I don't think they're going to prevail.

644
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 15: You know that the executive Branch has plenary powers to

645
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 15: to take care of things within the you know, the

646
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 15: executive branch. You know the scope of work, and so

647
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 15: this all the Treasury. The Treasury reports to the president.

648
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 15: The president appoints an auditor. You know, I'm tired of

649
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 15: you know, Oh, they're twenty two year old kids. Who

650
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 15: the hell cares? I don't care if they're twenty that

651
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 15: did Trump authorize them to be in the building?

652
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 14: Yes or no?

653
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 15: Well, I mean if the answer is yes, and if

654
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 15: they're there with the blessing of the of the Treasury Secretary,

655
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 15: which I think is you know, a lesser issue, but

656
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 15: that certainly helps. I mean, the Treasury Secretary was you know,

657
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 15: was was approved by by Congress. By by the Senate

658
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 15: Advice and Consent. So again, I mean, this is just

659
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 15: meddling in the affairs of the executive branch separation of powers.

660
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 15: The judiciary has no review over this, so I think

661
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 15: it's a complete non starter. And you'll see activist judges

662
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 15: with this, with immigration and other issues. They're going to

663
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 15: put in these you know, stops. It's going to make

664
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 15: its way up through the courts, and I expect Trump's

665
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 15: going to have a whole lot of winning coming up.

666
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you so much for being with

667
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: us today and help us with Nevada.

668
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 4: You're doing good work out there.

669
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 14: Thanks, so you got it. I'm on it, bam.

670
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 4: All right, coming off.

671
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: Ben Burkwan joins us to give us all the details

672
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: about his bride with.

673
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:10,959
Speaker 2: The welcome back to Special Reports. We want to get

674
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: right to our next guest, Real America's Voices reporter and

675
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: the voice of Law and Border, Ben Berkwam. He has

676
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: been riding along with Tom Homan and Ice while they

677
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: apprehend dangerous individuals who have crossed over into our country illegally. Ben,

678
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us.

679
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 6: That's great to be with you.

680
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 3: Well, Ben, I know that you've been with ICE agents

681
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 3: in both New York and Baltimore following MS thirteen members.

682
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 3: So tell us about that experience and what that's been

683
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 3: like in betting with ICE.

684
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 16: Yeah, we just finished up two days of operations. These

685
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 16: are ongoing across America. I was in New York on

686
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 16: Tuesday and then yesterday in Baltimore with ICE as well.

687
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 16: And we've got a little clip to breaking footage from

688
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 16: those operations.

689
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 17: Going after the worst of the worst than criminals find

690
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 17: the needle.

691
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 18: The individuals that look and pick up today associated with MS.

692
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 19: Thirteen foreign terrorist organization, what's your hair?

693
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 18: Don't move, drugs, guns, human trafficking.

694
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 19: Worst built first.

695
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 14: We are just trying to make the community safer with

696
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 14: you one hundred percent.

697
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely looks like a super nerve wrecking experience there, Ben.

698
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 2: We know that one agent actually said it's like looking

699
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: for a needle in a haystack. You spent time with

700
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: these agents. Was the morale high or were they generally

701
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: pretty frustrated?

702
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 6: Well, it's a combination.

703
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 16: It's high in the sense, in particular in Baltimore yesterday

704
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 16: riding with Matt it's high in the sense that they're

705
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 16: finally able to do their jobs again. But in asking

706
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 16: one of the Chicago agents I was riding with last week,

707
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 16: you know what it's like now based on what Joe

708
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 16: Biden the Democrats did over the last four years. And

709
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 16: his answer to me was, it's just an overwhelming workload.

710
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 16: And that's the sense you get is there are so

711
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 16: many people to go after. And you heard the other

712
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 16: judy there saying that it's like an needle in a haystack.

713
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 16: And the worst part about all of this, whether it

714
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 16: was Baltimore yesterday, the New York the day before, Chicago

715
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 16: last week, every single person that we picked up was

716
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 16: somebody who was previous, previously incarcerated, either by the Illinois

717
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 16: Corrections its facilities, New York Corrections, or Maryland corrections. And

718
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 16: they were simply let out because the ice detainers weren't

719
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 16: honored because these were all in sanctuary policies. So that

720
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 16: seems to be the biggest frustration out of all of

721
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 16: these folks. Every one of these people could have been

722
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 16: picked up, they could have been deported a long time ago,

723
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 16: but they're being protected by these sanctuary jurisdictions. And that's

724
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 16: something that has to change in these next days and

725
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 16: weeks going.

726
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 3: Forward, Yeah, agreed, and Ben, President Trump has classified MS

727
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 3: thirteen as a foreign terrorist organization. As we've seen you

728
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 3: and you've been in New York and in Baltimore. You

729
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 3: mentioned Chicago before. In which city would you say there

730
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 3: are more MS thirteen gang members and should the residents

731
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 3: of those cities be worried? Moving forward.

732
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 16: To answer the second part, first, yes, everybody.

733
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 6: The level.

734
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 16: What was shocking to me about Baltimore and I don't

735
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 16: have the numbers on where their numbers are the highest,

736
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 16: but they're everywhere, and Trenda Aragua as well on the cartels,

737
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 16: the Solist cartel, the Golf cartel, the Sinaloa cartel, all

738
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 16: of these CGNG, all of these cartels are in just

739
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 16: about every community in America. And probably the shocking thing

740
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 16: to me yes your day riding with Baltimore was the

741
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 16: fact that they're in these suburban communities where we caught

742
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 16: this guy that one of the MS thirteen members was

743
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 16: in a house he was renting. He had just started

744
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 16: renting a week prior. The woman that owned the house

745
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 16: we went there, she was the one who let us

746
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 16: in when she found out this guy was an MS

747
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 16: thirteen member.

748
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 6: She said get him out.

749
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 16: Of my house. He happened to be sleeping when our

750
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 16: guys went in to get him, and thankfully, or else

751
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 16: it could have been a lot more dangerous. But this

752
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 16: was in suburban Maryland and the woman who he was

753
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 16: renting from had no idea of his criminal background and

754
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 16: he was there in this house with her. So they're everywhere.

755
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 16: They're everywhere across this country. Everyone needs to do their

756
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 16: due diligence. You've got to be mindful of who's in

757
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 16: your community because it's not just you know, gang infested

758
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 16: thug neighborhoods, it's every community in America. Now you have

759
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 16: hardened crimical criminals now designated terrorist organizations that are operating

760
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 16: in your community.

761
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely be You know, we are running out of time

762
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: with you here, but I just want to know what

763
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 2: was your biggest takeaway from all of your time that

764
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: you spent with ICE during their operations.

765
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 16: Mainly just how big of a task this is going

766
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 16: to be, and that ICE needs every bit of the

767
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 16: American people's support as well as other law enforcement support.

768
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 16: A lot more needs to be done, and the first

769
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 16: in that list is targeting these sanctuary communities and getting

770
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 16: the federal government to shut them down, shut off their funding,

771
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 16: and prosecute the people that are getting in the way

772
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 16: of Ice doing their job.

773
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: All right, Ben Berkwan, thank you so much for joining us.

774
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: We really appreciate your insight.

775
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: Thanks brin.

776
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 6: My pleasure. Thank you, guys.

777
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 4: No Coming up.

778
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: Next, a journey of faith as one man goes from

779
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: being told he'll never play sports to becoming the announcer

780
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: for the Tennessee Titans.

781
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 4: And live golf. We'll be back in just a moment.

782
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 3: Well, the IRS is the largest collection agency in the

783
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 3: world and it just stepped up enforcement for twenty twenty five.

784
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 3: If you have back taxes or unfiled returns, do not

785
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 3: wait for the IRS to come after you. Simply avoiding

786
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 3: your tax troubles is the worst thing you can do.

787
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 3: Getting ahead of this is the smart move. But never

788
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 3: absolutely never contact the IRS alone. Turn it over to

789
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 3: the team at Tax Network USA. Why should you do that, Well,

790
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,920

00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:38,840

823
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 3: perhaps like you thought it would. You were diagnosed with

824
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 3: a heart condition in which you were told your life

825
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 3: would not be fulfilling, but your mom saw something different.

826
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 3: Tell us about that.

827
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, Hey, shout out to all the faith believing moms

828
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 11: out there that see more in your kids than they're

829
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 11: actually going through. Because when I was five years old,

830
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 11: I had a terrible stutter, like I couldn't even finish

831
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 11: a sentence, and on top of that, I got diagnosed

832
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 11: with a rare heart disease, and the doctors told my mom,

833
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 11: your son will never be in pe. Your son will

834
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 11: never definitely never play sports. In fact, if he does

835
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 11: a jumping jack, he'll have a heart attack and die.

836
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 6: And I remember my mom saying, it.

837
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 11: Doesn't matter what you say, my Jesus is.

838
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 6: Going to heal him.

839
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 11: So you know fastward, you know, I ended up going

840
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 11: from you know, a doctor's diagnosis to end up, you know,

841
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 11: playing high school football, college football, NFL football, and so

842
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 11: the doctors were wrong, Jesus was right, Let's go.

843
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 4: Jesus was right. I just love that.

844
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: And you went on, as you said, to play high

845
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: school and collegiates and then competed on American Idol Season three,

846
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: which led to getting a job with Ryan Seacrest. Now

847
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: this is quite a turn of events from someone with

848
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: a bad heart condition.

849
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it was that. Honestly.

850
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 11: It was like the heart condition and the stutter was

851
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 11: at the same time. And you know, it was a

852
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 11: weird disease. It's you know, actually people like chuckle when

853
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 11: I say it. It was called Kawistaki's disease. And my

854
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 11: skin looked like an alligator. My eyes were bloodshot red.

855
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 11: All my fingernails and toenails fell off, and I just

856
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,959
Speaker 11: I don't remember like being healed. I just remember being

857
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 11: sick and then I was better. And my mom would

858
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 11: always say, like, don't ever forget what God did for you,

859
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 11: so ever since I was little, she would just always

860
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 11: remind me of that.

861
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 6: And so no matter what I would go through, you know,

862
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 6: being an.

863
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 11: American Idol who was so good to me, like Ryan Seacrest, Simon,

864
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 11: all the producers.

865
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 6: Like they are first class. They are such good people

866
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 6: and they treated me well.

867
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 11: So when I was going through everything, you know, because

868
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 11: we all have obstacles in life, like, I would always

869
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 11: believe that there was more.

870
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 6: Than what I was experiencing. And that definitely came from

871
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 6: my mom for sure.

872
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 3: Ys. The song goes you were made for more, Matt,

873
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 3: That's how I would see it. And you know Matt

874
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 3: as a fellow singer myself and a native Tennessee, and

875
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 3: I know how special the voice is. In fact, this

876
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 3: might be an interesting fact to you. I was actually

877
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 3: treated for a vocal hemorrhage at Vanderbilt Voice Care Center,

878
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,479
Speaker 3: which can feel debilitating when you're not allowed to speak.

879
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 3: I think, go on voice rest for two weeks. I

880
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 3: couldn't sing, couldn't speak. So what is this unique gift

881
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 3: that you've been given by God with your voice meant

882
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 3: to you, especially now as the voice of the Tennessee

883
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 3: Titans and being able to use your voice in so

884
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 3: many different ways?

885
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 6: Man, what a great question.

886
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 11: It's like, you know, like people like you know you,

887
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 11: and I like if you woke up and you know,

888
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 11: if this was taken away from you, like I kind

889
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 11: of like think of it like Ariel from The Little

890
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 11: Mermaid with a Lost your voice, right, like.

891
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 6: That was her gift. And I mean it's it's done

892
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 6: everything for me.

893
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 11: Like I work with about fifty to seventy nonprofits.

894
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 6: Every year and they hire me to help them raise

895
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 6: more mond and.

896
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 11: So I'm constantly on stage, I'm announcing for Live golf.

897
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 11: I love the Tennessee Titans, even back in the day

898
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 11: when they were the Houston Oilers, so they've always been

899
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 11: my favorite team. So it's like, you know, if if

900
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 11: that was taken away from me, you know, it'd be like,

901
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 11: you know, like that's your gift. So for me to

902
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 11: start with a speech impediment and that and then be

903
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 11: able to do this now very very grateful.

904
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 6: So you know, it's.

905
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 11: It's like when I was on American Idol per Se,

906
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 11: I was looking at Fantasia Jennifer Hudson and I'm like,

907
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 11: I can't do that, Like they're really really good, but

908
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 11: that's my Afterwards, when Seacrest has like, what do you

909
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 11: want to do, I'm like, man, I want to do

910
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 11: what you do.

911
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 6: I want to talk to.

912
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 11: People, and I want to host TV shows and that's

913
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 11: why they helped me out. So my voice is everything

914
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 11: to me, and I don't take it for granted for sure.

915
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just want to follow up on that.

916
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: When you spoke with Ryan Seacrest, he told him what

917
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 1: you wanted to do. How did that relationship progress into.

918
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 4: What it was?

919
00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 6: Yeah?

920
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 11: So when I got when I got voted off, they

921
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 11: were honestly, they're really really good to me.

922
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 6: And Ryan gave me my first job.

923
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 11: I was a correspondent on his show called on Air

924
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 11: with Ryan Secret, remember, and then someone saw me on that,

925
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 11: and then I signed with Discovery Channel and then I

926
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 11: hosted really big.

927
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 6: Things gold Rush Deadly as Cats.

928
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 11: So it just propelled me because y'all know, like, relationships

929
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 11: are everything, and if you keep good relationships and if

930
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 11: you do your homework, show up on time, do what

931
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 11: you say, and you actually treat people well like your

932
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 11: life will do this And that's what that did.

933
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 6: It opened up a door for me and now it's

934
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 6: been phenomenal.

935
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: Well, Matt, you were definitely taking your voice to New

936
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 1: Heights as part of the introduction team for Live Golf,

937
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: and Live initially caught heat for being backed by Saudi Arabia,

938
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,959
Speaker 1: but the PGA has since had to accept and even

939
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: embrace Live. A lot of people going to the events

940
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: talking highly of it. Of course, tell us about the

941
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: live experience and how you'll be lending your talent.

942
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, first of all, l IV is just.

943
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,919
Speaker 11: Roman numeral for fifty four, so LIV means fifty four

944
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 11: golf holes.

945
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 6: So we played three days instead of four. And at

946
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 6: first I was one of the naysayers too, because I'm

947
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 6: a huge golf fans. I'm like, what is this.

948
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 11: Once I watched it, I'm like, this is really cool, man.

949
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 11: There's an individual aspect and a team aspect. And then

950
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 11: when the best golfers in the world started going to live,

951
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 11: I actually went to an event and I was like.

952
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 6: Holy smokes, this is freaking awesome.

953
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 11: And they hired me as kind of a one off

954
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 11: last year when they came to Nashville. And then after

955
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 11: my last day, I got to announce the winners and

956
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 11: I was like.

957
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 10: I'm stage now your champion.

958
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 6: Terrell Hatton, and everyone's crazy.

959
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 11: And then the Boston to me and he goes, dude,

960
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 11: what's it gonna take for you to come with us

961
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 11: on all of our events next year?

962
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 6: I'm like, let's go baby, So.

963
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's the whole sport.

964
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 3: I went to the one in Drell. You know that

965
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 3: Trump posted his course and it was just like the

966
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 3: Chainsmokers were performing. Dustin Johnson was out there. There's loud

967
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 3: music playing. It's a lot of people thought it was

968
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 3: like taboo, but I think it's actually revolutionized the sport

969
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 3: and got a lot of new people involved. So I

970
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 3: think it's great that you're doing. I think it's pretty

971
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 3: phenomenal and I want to get your thoughts on this too, Matt.

972
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 3: You know Harrison Bucker, the kicker for the Super Bowl

973
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 3: bound Kansas City Chiefs. He caught a lot of flak

974
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 3: for giving a speech defending his Christian faith, including his

975
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 3: comment that many Christian collegiate women, you know, likely look

976
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 3: forward to getting married and having children, and that's diametrically

977
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 3: posed to dangerous gender ideology that had been pushed elsewhere.

978
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 3: And the NFL shot back and they said that he

979
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 3: does not represent the NFL's view. So I thought that

980
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 3: was interesting. How did you feel about Harrison's comments.

981
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 11: I loved Harrison's comments. You know, I was born from

982
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 11: a woman. My dad is a man, and you know,

983
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 11: every single person that's born comes from a woman and

984
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 11: a man, so like, it's just you know what, man,

985
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 11: it's just so crazy how common sense and traditional values

986
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 11: are now some type of taboo thing.

987
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 6: And I say it this way, man.

988
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 11: People persecute what they don't understand, and most people who

989
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 11: are against that are usually kind of going with the flow.

990
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 6: And succumbing to, you know, the.

991
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 11: Status quo, or they didn't experience, and they come from.

992
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 6: A place of hurt. So at the end of the day,

993
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 6: he was edifying women.

994
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 11: He was edifying the beauty of women, the beauty of motherhood,

995
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 11: how important a wife is, how special a caretaker of

996
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 11: a house is, and people yelled at him for it.

997
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 11: So I mean, at the end of the day, I

998
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 11: usually just don't even spend too much time arguing with

999
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 11: people like that. I just live my life and my

1000
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 11: wife and I we've been married for twenty years. She

1001
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 11: has been a stay at home mom and just been

1002
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 11: an unbelievable mother to our four kids, three of which

1003
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 11: were diagnosed with a rare genetic disease at birth.

1004
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 6: But they're doing phenomenal now.

1005
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 11: And if my wife hadn't been able to be there

1006
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 11: and take care of him, their life might have looked

1007
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 11: way different.

1008
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 6: So at the end of the day, it's like, you know,

1009
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 6: I celebrate marriage. I celebrate you know.

1010
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 11: Awesome mom's, awesome wives because it truly is a very

1011
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 11: thankless and awesome job that they don't get enough credit for.

1012
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, they definitely don't well spoken.

1013
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 11: And Matt and I'll just say this, Hey, nobody gives

1014
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 11: spankins like Mama gives spankins.

1015
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 6: So that's true.

1016
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 1: But I doubt we could let you go before asking

1017
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: about this weekend super Bowl. I mean, you've got a

1018
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: potential three peat plus Taylor Swift on one set, and

1019
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: then you have the symbol of America, the Eagles, a

1020
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: team that blew out its last opponent who comes out

1021
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 1: victorious on Sunday.

1022
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 11: Well, I'm actually going to talk with our sign with

1023
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 11: most of America on this and say these are my

1024
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 11: two least favorite teams.

1025
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 6: So I actually kind of don't care who wins.

1026
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: If you had to pick, do you have do you

1027
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: have one you like a little more?

1028
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 6: I really don't.

1029
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 11: But you can't bet against you can't bet against the Chiefs.

1030
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 6: So I gotta go. I gotta go. Twenty six twenty

1031
00:48:58,640 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 6: three Kansas City.

1032
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 3: Well, that's not here's the thing that's that's where your

1033
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 3: your brain is. You know, even if your heart, if

1034
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 3: someone's heart was with the Eagles because of how well

1035
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 3: they've played. I feel like that's probably the smart play.

1036
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 3: And that's what Vegas is saying to I just hope Matt,

1037
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 3: that Vegas isn't controlling this. There's been some controversy over,

1038
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 3: you know, the officiating in the past several games with

1039
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. You know, you hate it because you want

1040
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 3: the sports be played fairly. I trust that you would

1041
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 3: want the same.

1042
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 11: Oh and I mean I remember, like it wasn't even

1043
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 11: like that when I played.

1044
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 6: But now with all the information coming out, like you're watching, Yeah,

1045
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 6: these calls being made and you're like, that's.

1046
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 3: Not blows your mind.

1047
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't help but wonder.

1048
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 11: But first weekend of April, we're coming to Miami Trump
