00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: very well can make a surprisingly positive impact on the

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,320

43
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: the program as well and try and help our friends

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: out in California those that would need it. Um starting

45
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: this Friday with some good news. Consumer confidence now is

46
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: at a thirteen year high. I mean this is literally

47
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: the highest since January two thousand and four. From one

48
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: in September, now the sentiment grew to a hundred one

49
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: on one point one. It's the thirteen year high. As

50
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: the American people's perception of the economy and their own

51
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: finances have been rebounding, especially following these major hurricanes that

52
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: have taken place. University of Michigan uh survey shows stocks

53
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: again have set new records. By the way, I don't

54
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: put as much faith in I mean, look, when you're

55
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: at the five point two billion dollars in wealth growth created,

56
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: you can't ignore it in the stock market. I'm not

57
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: the biggest fan of the market, and I've said this

58
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: to you for years, and I say it because I

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: just always want to be honest with you, my audience,

60
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: and I think there's a certain if you're in the

61
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: market for for the long term, and that means part

62
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: of your portfolio has stocks and bond whatever you happen

63
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: to have. And and I would go obviously for the

64
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: blue chip stocks. I mean, if you go for the

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: trendy stocks, if you go for remember the dot com

66
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: bubble that we ended up being and everyone was going

67
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: stock crazy. A lot of people lost a lot of money,

68
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, But you gotta figure out, Okay, what are

69
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: the things that people are always gonna need? This is

70
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: my thinking. Anyway, you know, Johnson and Johnson were always

71
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna need toilet paper, shampoo, soap, We're gonna need food

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: and and just the bare necessity. So there's a way

73
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: to work your way into the stock market. How much

74
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: risk and vulnerability you wanna take is based on one's

75
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: personal appetite for risk. And I've always kind of been

76
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: in the back of my mind, you know, if I

77
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: work hard and I saved my money and I don't

78
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: want to gamble a lot of it away, And a

79
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: lot of people get into the market and I can't

80
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: tell you how many times over the years, Oh there's

81
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: this new stock. It's so it's so gonna be huge

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: and and it's going public and I can get you

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: in and the friends and family thing or whatever, and

84
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, thanks, I'm not interested in gambling. You know,

85
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: real estate probably has a lot more stability and you

86
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: can still touch it. You know, at the end of

87
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: the day, your stocks, they waste to weigh down on

88
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: nothing you can't tell. You can't but look, it might

89
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: be a bubble. I don't know. That's not how I've

90
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: measured the economy. I think the better indicators that the

91
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: economy is doing well is the end of all of

92
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: these Obama era regulations. That's helped a lot. I think

93
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: opening up energy and drilling and an war and allowing

94
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: coal miners to do their thing and build clean coal.

95
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: So a great video of coal miners before they were

96
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: going to work today, I think I saw it on

97
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Fox and Friends this morning where they literally sang the

98
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: anthem and they all stood, not one of them kneeled.

99
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: And I doubt any of them are being paid millions

100
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: of dollars a year. But these are good, high paying

101
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: career jobs for people, and especially as we have developed

102
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: some better safety procedures. I just think mining is a very,

103
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: very dangerous, difficult job, and it's hard. I mean, you're

104
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: in a mine all day underground. That's that's gotta be brutal.

105
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: That's gotta be tough. And the risks are real. There's

106
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of real risks there, not the least

107
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: of which is if you don't have the proper respiration

108
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: that the threat of black lung is a real health

109
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: risk for everybody. Um and not being in the sunlight

110
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: is difficult, you know, I don't. I don't know anybody

111
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: that has an easy job though. Everybody that works that

112
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: I know has stress and a lot of a lot

113
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: of issues to deal with. I got a buddy of

114
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: mine and he has his own automotive producing company where

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: he produced He actually sprays the inside of engines. He

116
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: he actually created this. He's an inventor where they spray

117
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: the inside of engine blocks and it's done at a

118
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: very high, high temperature. It's like you watch it, it it

119
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: looks like the fourth of July and sparks flying everywhere,

120
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: just like you see in an auto producer thing. Anyway,

121
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: and he's he's got stressed to get you know, X

122
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: number of thousand blocks done a day, and then if

123
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: for one reason they use the wrong wire or for

124
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: one reason the tip that there's manufactured, if that expensive

125
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: tip gets clogged or blows, and then he's got a

126
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: problem that day. You know, I think of my friends,

127
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: then the You know that a policeman and fireman their jobs.

128
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: Everyone's job is hard. Being a teacher. How easy to

129
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: think it would being a teacher, you know, with twenty

130
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: obnoxious kids in front of your face every day, it's not.

131
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: It's not easy. Even if they're great kids, they drive

132
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: your nuts. And so if you're in a business where

133
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: you're producing food, okay, how much can you charge a

134
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: customer for a piece of pizza, You gotta sell a

135
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: hell of a lot of pizza to make some money.

136
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: If even you have a steakhouse, you gotta sell a

137
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: lot of steaks and a lot of booze to make

138
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: some money. Because by the time you pay your rent,

139
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: you by the time you pay your chef and your

140
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: dishwashers and your line cooks, and then you pay your

141
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: waiters and waitresses, and then your bartenders and your light bill,

142
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: which is an obscene in in Long Island. It's everything

143
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: ends up. So you're just trying to work hard to

144
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 1: to put food on your table and produce a profit.

145
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: In your hope and dream one day is that you

146
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 1: can get a house. And then you get that house.

147
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: I know more people that live in homes that are

148
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: further away because it's more affordable, and they get to

149
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: get a bigger house, and you gotta commute every day,

150
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: and then you gotta get your car. I mean, there's

151
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: a certain grind aspect to all of life. And then

152
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: you get your house, and then you realize you've got

153
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: to furnish the stupid thing. Although Linda doesn't believe in

154
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: furniture apparently. Are you still sleeping? You're never going to

155
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: hear the end of this. I know, how what did

156
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: I tell you when you bought your house? I said,

157
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: this is a this is a transformational moment in your

158
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: life that you should be so proud of yourself. Didn't

159
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: I said, get really nice air mattresses. Don't go cheaply.

160
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: I no, I know, So you that perfect. You had

161
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: five days off around Labor Day. Everyone had five days off,

162
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: and so you don't have a stick of furniture and

163
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: you go to your stupid house every weekend, which would

164
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: be the pride and joy of your life and I'm like,

165
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: do you not have your do you want to have

166
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: this fight? I'm gonna have this fight because it's a ridiculous.

167
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: I have three sticks of furniture. You're now eight eight

168
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: weeks into your new house and you're sleeping on an

169
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: air mattress and it was a very nice. That is

170
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: a ridiculous thing to do. What did I say to

171
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: you last night? I said, do you have money? Do

172
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: you need I'll give you some money if you need

173
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: the money for the for a bed, because sleeping in

174
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: a bed is so much better than an air mattress. Listen,

175
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: Liam loves that we're sleeping on the air mattress. He

176
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: thinks for camping. He thinks for camping, so he wants

177
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: to go camping in the house. You buy the house

178
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: and you have no furniture in that. Now Lauren's been

179
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: in the house. Lauren, doesn't the house need furniture? It

180
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: has great fengsh Way, all right, listen, I know you

181
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: think you're a McLaughlin. Now, no way, doesn't the house

182
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: need furniture? Be honest. You know there's a design style

183
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: called minimalist, and I think that's what she's going for.

184
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: The minimalist style so there's really there is no bed

185
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: in the house. The only thing they got as an

186
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: air mattress. Have a card table from tar j. It's lovely.

187
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: I will lend you the money. Go buy some freaking furniture. Yo,

188
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: me the money. Oh my god, you and you are

189
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: the most stubborn human being on the face of this earth.

190
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm an Irish woman. It comes in in hand, all

191
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: right now, I digress anyway, So getting this economy going

192
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: would be amazing, you know. And what has this whole

193
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: election been about? And this is my fear. The Senate

194
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: is not gonna get their job done. I was a

195
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: little disturbed. I gotta call Ted Cruzy was doing an

196
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: interview yesterday and said, I'm not sure it's gonna get

197
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: done this year. It might be early next year. Well

198
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: that's that would be the whole point is what have

199
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: they done this year? You know a lot of senators.

200
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: If the Republicans were smart and they passed this economic plan,

201
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: we've already got rid of the regulations. The President bailed

202
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: their ass out this week when he was able to

203
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: create an opportunity that now associations can buy healthcare plans

204
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: and and and the buying power of of a group

205
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: at lower prices across state lines, including catastrophic plans. This

206
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: is a huge thing that that is getting very little notice,

207
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: and the only notice is getting is that, oh, he's

208
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: demolishing Obamacare. He pretty much did. And this gives everybody

209
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: now a shot that they didn't have before. And every

210
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: single person that works in the restaurant business ought to

211
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: unite and find an and build an association. And with

212
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: the buying power of many, they're gonna get much lower

213
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: rates from Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Etna and United and

214
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: all these other health companies, and they'll get the care

215
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: and the service and the plans that they want. And

216
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: you can now buy it across state lines because that

217
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: carve out was already in existence for corporations that been

218
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: doing it. So you're not stuck with the state regulations

219
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 1: with the burdensome and you're not stuck with the A

220
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: c A Obamacare regulations. There's so many solutions now. Same

221
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: with energy, the President got rid of all those burdens

222
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: and regulations. Now coal miners, which is where I started

223
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: before I digressed, Now they have their jobs and some

224
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: security and production is up. And now the President did

225
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: the same thing with an more, and if I was

226
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: a big oil company, I'd get my ass up to

227
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: a more quickly, because at least while this man's president,

228
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna have access to one of the biggest oil

229
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: fields we'd ever have access to and get the pipeline

230
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: is built quick that now that the pipelines can be

231
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: built and the president is doing what he can on

232
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: his own, I took on By the way, Ben Sass

233
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: is like the biggest disappointment of anybody that I ever

234
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: stupidly supported, you know, on top of all these other weak,

235
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: pathetic Republicans, but he's he's become the absolute most obnoxious jerk,

236
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, anti Trump, guy who says behind closed doors

237
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: things that I can't even repeat on this program about

238
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: President Trump. You know, why don't you come out publicly,

239
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: Senator Assass, and tell people what you really say and

240
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: think behind closed doors in that cloak room with all

241
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: your arrogant senators that can't seem to get a thing

242
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: done in there. So sick of these people, you know,

243
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: why don't you start serving the American people? Why don't

244
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: you put your hatred of the president aside? Is the

245
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: President's plan to go from seven brackets to three good?

246
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: Is a corporate rate? Is that kind of stir economic growth?

247
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: Will corporations invest in America? Was it a good thing

248
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: he got rid of all these burdens and regulations? Is

249
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: it good to allow trillions of repatriated moneies from multinationals

250
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: at a low rate so they'll invest in in factories

251
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: and manufacturing centers. Is that good for the country. Is

252
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: it good for the country that we protect our border?

253
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: Was Neil Gorsts good for the country to put on

254
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: the court? Is it good that he's not appeasing North

255
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: Korea and Iran and radical Islamis like Obama did all

256
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: these years? You know, at some point you gotta ask you,

257
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: so what what do they hate so much? They just

258
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: hate They don't like his style, and his style is

259
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: just the antithesis of what the typical bureaucratic style in

260
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: Washington is that that is, more than anything else, what

261
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: frustrates the swamp and the sewer in d C. Trump

262
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: is not gonna stop tweeting because they don't like it.

263
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: He's not gonna talk stop talking about the national anthem

264
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: because it's it scares them. He's not gonna be direct

265
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: because that's the way they want to see a president

266
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: act in a particular style. He's gonna be himself, and

267
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: you ought to be You ought to find it refreshing.

268
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: And maybe some of you idiots can actually learn from him,

269
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: because your approval rating is like ten and his his

270
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: forty five and going higher as a result of him

271
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: standing up for his honest beliefs. I have come to

272
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: have such contempt for politicians. I at the level of

273
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: and end the elitists. You know, the National Review crowd,

274
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: the Brett Stevens crowd. They're just all a bunch of phonies.

275
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: They're just so so full of themselves. Did we roll along?

276
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: Shawan Hannity showbout a great week for the president though,

277
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: when you think of it, what he did on the

278
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: Healthcare building Executive Order, the opportunity that that's gonna provide

279
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: for him. Uh. He laid out his economic plan. It

280
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: is everything. I is a Reagan Conservative want uh with

281
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: few exceptions, I mean minor exceptions. If he gets past,

282
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: people will will benefit, people will get out of poverty,

283
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: off of food stamps, back in the labor force. Just

284
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: a fact he got a hero's welcome at the Value

285
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: Voters Summit will hit on some of this later in

286
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: the program today he gave a great speech now we

287
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: have no appeasement of Iran, and the President got great

288
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: praise by Benjamin Netnah who frankly everybody within the region

289
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: is thanking him for taking the lead on it. The

290
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: only thing that the only missing piece of the puzzle

291
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: is now the House and the Senate, and more of

292
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: the Senate than the House. I mean, look, you've got

293
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: to admit when when the House passes two and eighty

294
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: bills and they haven't even been touched by Mitch McConnell

295
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: and company. Now there are people that have just had

296
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: it with McConnell and the number is is just growing

297
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: by the minute. Uh, there's a piece on bright Bart

298
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: today the Tea Party, Tea Party, Patriots, Freedom Work, Senate

299
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: Conservatives Fund are now calling on Mitch McConnell and the

300
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: rest of the Senate leadership to resign. And you know what,

301
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: if they can't get this done, they've got to go.

302
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: This is like their last test. And I don't want

303
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: to hear from Mitch McConnell. Well, you know, these are

304
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: excessive expectations, you know, and I'm a little angry people

305
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: saying we haven't done anything. You know, I know the

306
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: president there's not there's a new line of work to

307
00:15:53,120 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: him quickly Democratic Pross Church, and you know the timelines

308
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: that are artificial, and the excessive expectations, you know, we have.

309
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: We have very busy schedules. We get up at nine

310
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: or ten, and then we get served breakfast in the

311
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: Senate dining room, and then we convene for maybe one meeting,

312
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: and then this course of lunchtime, and and then of

313
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: course we got to plan our vacations, which are ever

314
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: so numerous, and then get our haircut in the Senate barbershops,

315
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: and then we use the Senate gym's. We've got to

316
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: stay healthy, so we stay in power forever and we

317
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: all live to be a hundred oh like, oh gosh,

318
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: it's just that's the swamp anyway. Uh, one piece at

319
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: a time. The President is beginning to dismantle Obamacare. Now

320
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: can we get the wall? And the president with North Korea,

321
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: by the way, there's warrior worrying concern. North Korea may

322
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: have had a earthquake that was caused by yet another

323
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: nuclear test. Alright, eight nine for one Shawn toll free

Speaker 1: on the fires out in California much more. Stay in

326
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: touch with a Hannity faithful joined the message board at

327
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: Hannity dot com. Alright, now to the top of the hour.

328
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: We're learning so much about the left over this Harvey

329
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: Weinstein issue. What we're learning more than anything is that

330
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: it appears, well, everybody kind of knew. Everybody in Hollywood knew. Um.

331
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: There's a Huffing and Post piece out that back in August,

332
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: NBC reporter Ronan Pharaoh had secured an interview with a

333
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: woman who agreed to appear on camera and say that

334
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: Weinstein had actually raped her. Remember we're up to like

335
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: thirty one women now. At least NBC tried to put

336
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: a stop to the interview with Ronan Farow. You know,

337
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: I'm Ronan did a show, didn't he on on the

338
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: Conspiracy Channel for a while? He did, Right, he's a

339
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: big liberal, but he's also the son of Mia Pharaoh,

340
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: the actress and Woody Allen, Right, is that true? And

341
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: then they put those ridiculous stories in there that I

342
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: think are hurtful about. Well, maybe it was Frank Sinatra

343
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: and all that crap, which I don't think it's fair

344
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: to do to any kid. I mean, I guess he's

345
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: not a kid, but you know what I mean. Um, anyway,

346
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: so he so he didn't do well in cable. Maybe

347
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't his form anyway, So I've got to imagine,

348
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: and I'm guessing here that maybe the reason that Ronan

349
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: Pharaoh because he was very public in the New York

350
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: tabloids talking about how abusive his father was to two

351
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: young women. And so I guess this is, you know,

352
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: he's following this because of his a passion that he

353
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: has to expose people because he grew up in the

354
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: situation that he did, which, by the way, would be

355
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: a pretty noble thing, you know, putting all politics, society

356
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: seems to be standing up for women and I like it. Anyway.

357
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: NBC tried to put a stop to the interview with

358
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: the woman accusing Weinstein of rape. The network insisted, well,

359
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: then they went after Pharaoh, and they said, well, he

360
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: can't use an NBC news crew for the interview, and

361
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: and neither was he able to mention his NBC News

362
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: affiliation because he still works for them even though he

363
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: no longer does a cable show for them. So he

364
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: ended up funding it all out of his own pocket,

365
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: and he filmed the interview. He got over thirty women

366
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: now accusing Weinstein of sexual harassment, groping and and rape.

367
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: A number of women have claimed that he's raped them

368
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: over the span of two decades. And now the NYPD

369
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: Crimes Unit, and then you've got London Police. You've got

370
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: a lot of people now investigating the criminality that may

371
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: be associated with all this. So this story is not

372
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: going away. Um. The the the UK son actually had a

373
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: creepy story out that you know, he would have proposition

374
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 1: in this particular case of British TV reporter with a

375
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: sex contract the woman's thirty two. She declined the offers,

376
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: told him to go blank off, basically used raw Linda

377
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: language when when confronted at a lunch at the Cans Festival.

378
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: I met him a few times and he goes on

379
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: to say when I went to interview him, it was

380
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: something out of about a film. We were having lunch

381
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: and as the advertiser arrived, he launched into it and

382
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: his production assistant comes over with a confidentiality contract and

383
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: I just thought, oh my god, your poor wife. I

384
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: don't want to be a marriage wrecker. Well, good for her,

385
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: by the way, and Klaus fled the lunch discussed it

386
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: and angry. So what did he have his assistant offering contracts?

387
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: But now there's a lot of other stuff coming out.

388
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: I see that Mr Mr Cause himself Jimmy Kimmel when

389
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: he hosted the show, Well, let's play him, uh telling

390
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: women to touch his private parts and guess what's in there?

Speaker 1: Fun is it good fun? All good fun and humor. Really,

428
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy has been wanting to be the great political activists.

429
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: Now that he is, hasn't been talking a lot about Weinstein.

430
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: Then you've got other people. Now this is where it's

431
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: getting very interesting. Let's listen to Ronan Ronan Farrell explain

432
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: how NBC News passed on the story. Why did you

433
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: end up reporting this story for The New Yorker enough

434
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: for NBC News, Look, you would have to ask NBC

435
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: NBC executives about the details of that story. I'm not

436
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: going to comment on any news organizations story that day.

437
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: Um you know did or didn't run. I will say

438
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: that over many years, many news organizations have circled this

439
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: story and faced a great deal of pressure in doing so.

440
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 1: And there are now reports emerging publicly about the kinds

441
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: of pressure that news organizations face in this um and

442
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: that is real. And in the course of this reporting,

443
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: I was threatened with a lawsuit personally by Mr Weinstein,

444
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: and um, you know, we've already seen that The Times

445
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: has been publicly threatened with the suit. I don't want

446
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: to describe any suits leveled at other organizations that I

447
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: work with, but you know, certainly this is a considerable

448
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: amount of pressure that outlets get us. And NBC says

449
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: that you know, you didn't that the story wasn't publishable,

450
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: that I wasn't ready to go by the time that

451
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: you brought it to them, But obviously it's ready to

452
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: go by the time he got into the New Yorker. Uh.

453
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: I walked into the door at the New Yorker with

454
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: a an explosively reportable piece that should have been public

455
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: earlier and immediately. Obviously the New Yorker recognized that, and

456
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: it is not accurate to say that it was not reportable.

457
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: In fact, there were multiple determinations that was reportable at NBC. Well,

458
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: when we have the New York Times and we've got

459
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, here's the proof that we you know, let's

460
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: go to already rock. This is them joking about who

461
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein really is. Listen to this. I'm not afraid

462
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: of anyone in show business. I turned down intercourse with

463
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein on no less than three occasions. On five

464
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: and then the same SETH McFarland did the same thing

465
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: you want to hear something really creepy. Ed Asner was

466
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: on with Chris Chancing. I happen to know Chris Chancing.

467
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: She's a lovely person and um, anyway, and he actually

468
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: goes on the air and said, can I have a kiss?

469
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: What is wrong with these people? Isn't I'm joined out

470
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: by a man who started one of those groundbreaking shows,

471
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: the Mary Tyler Moore Show, winner of seven Emmy Awards,

472
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: more than any other man, Ed Asner, who helped demonstrate

473
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: the changing culture of independent women in the workplace for

474
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: millions of Americans each week. At Asner, Wow, it's great

475
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: to have you here. Thank you so much for coming

476
00:26:53,320 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: in as No, nothing right, not even a kid. It's

477
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: a great way to start an interview. And you got

478
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: Hillary Burton, a legend. Ben Atflack groped, heurn listen to this,

479
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 1: You're always like, I'm just sorry. He wraps his arm

480
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: around me, tweaks my lesson. M that was nice to

481
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck. He since apologized. Gwyneth Paltrow was on with

482
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: David Letterman talking about Weinstein coercing people. This is how

483
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: well known this is now listen, are you gonna be

484
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: here with us. Then you go away with your family, right, yes?

485
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: What is that? What is that like with a family?

486
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: A big family? I have a big family. This year,

487
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: we're sort of scattered all over the place. And oddly enough,

488
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: my parents, my brother, my mom's half of the families

489
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: in California, which is strange because normally we do the

490
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: East Coast leaves and fire. Yeah, I think it is

491
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: the East Coast lends itself more gracefully to Thanksgiving. Then

492
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: you know the desert. I agree. So are you excited?

493
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: You go out there and you go tonight, you go tomorrow?

494
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: What do you do? Well? I would have ordinarily gone,

495
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, on Thanksgiving, but I'm here for you, so tomorrow.

496
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: Thank you? What you are? You are you here of

497
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: your own free will? As someone coerced you into being here?

498
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: Do you counting? Harvey Weinstein is a course, Harvey Harvey

499
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: Weinstein is a as a. I don't know whether he's

500
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: in some kind of organized crime now, but he used

501
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: to be like some kind of junior mob kind of guy,

502
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: right was He was like in the mob auxiliary, that's

503
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: what they tell me. And now he's like a big,

504
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: powerful film guy. Right, Yes, I do all my movies

505
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: for Harvey Weinstein. That's me or Max, and I'm lucky

506
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: to do them there, but he will coerce you to

507
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: do with it. So and so Harvey said, I'll tell

508
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: you what go on and then talk about your movies.

509
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: That what Harvey said. And in return, what will Harvey

510
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: do for you? Nothing? Really? Well, what's wrong with that equation?

511
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: As the kids you do the math? Uh? You know,

512
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: I I'm kind of fed up with Harvey's behavior, and

513
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: because I'm grateful to him in the sense that he

514
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: brought you here tonight. Thank God for Harvey. Uh, all right,

515
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: there you're going. It's all lord, you know. Now here's

516
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: where I went with us and Oliver Stone now being accused.

517
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with Rose Mcowen. Kate Beckinsdale. Now, wow,

518
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: she was accused. Said she was seventeen years old and

519
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, invites her up to his room and you know, she's, uh,

520
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: I'll offered alcohol by Harvey Weinstein. It's kind of creepy.

521
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: And she said she was young and naive. It wasn't

522
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: worse than that, but it could have been obviously based

523
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: on all this behavior. Um, here's my question. When is

524
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 1: anybody now going to take this to the next step

525
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: on the left. And I have been saying on this

526
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: program that there's something fundamentally wrong about the way politics

527
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: is running this country, where every two years and every

528
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: four years, um, we have a playbook that is used

529
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: by a Democratic party, and they falsely accused Conservatives of

530
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: being racist. They falsely accused Conservatives Republicans of being misogynist.

531
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: Poor Mitt Romney. How many weeks was it, oh a

532
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: Binders with women's resumes that he wanted to hire. What

533
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: a horrible, misogynistic, hateful person he was. It was such

534
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of crap. Everybody knew. The media covered this up,

535
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: and here's what they've also covered up. And I tried,

536
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: I tried my best. Hillary Clinton herself has taken a fortune,

537
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: and she made the statement. I was appalled. I was

538
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: disgusted about all of this. I was shocking. I was sickened.

539
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: I was appalled. And I'm like, you weren't shocking, sickened

540
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: and appalled by your own husband, And nor were you shocking, shocked,

541
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: sickened and appalled by what the countries you take millions

542
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: of dollars from millions and millions of the Clinton Foundation

543
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: from countries and practice shariah where women are treated like garbage.

544
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: Women are told how to dress, women are told if

545
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: they can go to school, if they can go to work.

546
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: Women are told if they can even leave the house,

547
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: and it's usually with a male relative. They can't travel abroad,

548
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: women can't drive cars in some of these countries. Marital

549
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: rape and domestic abuse in some of these countries are

550
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: not even crimes, and she took money from all of them.

551
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: Gays and lesbians are often killed just for being who

552
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: they are, assassinated, murdered. She took money from these countries.

553
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: You can't build churches and temples in a lot of

554
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: these countries either. Nobody ever during the election seemed to

555
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: care except me, because it's morally repugnant. So the very

556
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: thing liberals claim that they're the champion are on, they're not.

557
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: It goes for the media that goes for liberal Hollywood.

558
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: You know, did they care about Bill Clinton Shenanigans that

559
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: they care about all the money that Hillary took from

560
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: all those countries? Now what does that mean? That means

561
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: their phony hypocrites. And this is all frankly feigned selective

562
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: moral outrage. Alright. Eight one Shawn Tolfrey telephone number. You

563
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. Um, you

564
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: know what, we got so much going on here. We

565
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: have the House Freedom Caucus members, Kevin Brady is the

566
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: head of the House Ways and Means Committee, and we've

567
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: got new Gang Ridge today and we'll get your call.

568
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a deep dive into this tax plan.

569
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: Why it's so important to get past it gets passed

570
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: for the people that have been left behind, the forgotten

571
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: men and women. We have the head of the House

572
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: Ways and Means Committee, we got two Freedom Caucus members,

573
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: the Iranian Deal, the Value Voters speech with new King Rich,

574
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: and so much more in this busy breaking news Friday.

575
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: For eight years, you guys had a plan. You kept

576
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: saying and promising you repeal, replaced Obamacare, And I guess

577
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: what people want to know is when are these things

578
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: going to get done. We're exactly on the timeline that

579
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: we designed for ourselves. Obamacare is coming next, Our bill

580
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: is coming in March. First, it's regulatory reform, because we

581
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: had this window of time to cancel bad Obama regulations.

582
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: Then we're doing Obamacare. After we're done with Obamacare, then

583
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: we're doing our budget, and our budget is what the

584
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: second budget, which will be tax reform. So we're doing

585
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: two budgets in one year, which has never been done before.

586
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: This is faster than it's ever been done before. When

587
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: I heard Repair, my head nearly explode. That's not the plan.

588
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: The plan is to repeal and replace this law. Like

589
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: we said, we ran on a plan to repeal and

590
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: replace it. Tom Price helped write that plan. He is

591
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: now Donald Trump's Secretary of It is a consensus plan

592
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: that's now being scored by the CBO. Correct, you're saying

593
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: to the American people and conservatives that are impatient, including myself,

594
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: you agree with every item I mentioned, even extreme betting

595
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: pad that like a year ago in the House. I know.

596
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: Don't you now agree with building the wall? Yes? Are

597
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: you telling the American people vetting refugees, building the wall,

598
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: Repeal replaced a tax reform. All of this is going

599
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: to be done in two inside the two hundred day window.

600
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: Is the regulatory reforms we talked about, It's the repeal

601
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: and replace Obamacare, It's the budget, it's the rebuilding of

602
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: our military, it's tax reform. Those are the things that

603
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: we're working on. Any infrastructure. Those are the things we're

604
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: working on in this two hundred counts in the equation

605
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: because that's in their edge. Well, we we see that

606
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: as part of regulatory reform. But it's two hundred days.

607
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: That's you think that's us is our plan? Yeah, and

608
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: if and if there's any slip, and we'll finish it

609
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: in the fall and get it done before the end

610
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: of the year. So if I come back in two

611
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: hundred days, you're gonna you're gonna go, well, I made

612
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: a promise. We've got it. Well, because I think this

613
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: is so here's what I'm saying. We've we've met this

614
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: out for two hundred days. We have a plan to

615
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: do that. We're on schedule. But if if anything slips,

616
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: because it'll be such Supreme Court justice, yeah, or or

617
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: a filibuster on a cabinet nominee, that might slip us.

618
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: But we're making sure that we do all of this in. Okay,

619
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: let's go to the budget, which is such a big

620
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: issue the president. Seven brackets to three corporate rate. I

621
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: know you prefer twenty because that scores will scores. Yeah,

622
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: I have to get what we can with the with

623
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: the number that you support. Repatriation multinational corporations. That will

624
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: be huge for that's a lot of money that can

625
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: come back into the economy, about three trillion dollars. Here's

626
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: my headline of this interview that you're in pretty much

627
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: full agreement with with what Donald Trump ran on. And

628
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: number two, in two hundred days from the legislative side,

629
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: you are going to be implementing every aspect of that

630
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: agenda that we talked about. And just as a big headline,

631
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: we have and we have cushion in our schedule if

632
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: if anything slips, because it's really because the Senate issues,

633
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 1: we still have time to accommodate all of this stuff

634
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: in even field conditions. I have cushions built in the

635
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 1: schedule to make sure this all gets done in twenty

636
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: seven because in case something happens and go sideways on

637
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: the Senate, I'm pretty sure that will stimulate the economy,

638
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: get people back to work, and get the economy movement again,

639
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: which I think we need. What we're hired to do

640
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: it all right, keep men see it too. In adacent

641
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask for sure advance. But I know everybody's

642
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: saying we've been there, I haven't done anything, which I

643
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: find extremely irritated. And I'm gonna tell you why Congress

644
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: goes on for two years. And part of the reason

645
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: I think that the storyline is that we haven't done

646
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: much is because in part of the President and others

647
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: have set these early kind lines about things need to

648
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: be done by a certain points. Now our new president.

649
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: Of of of course, I've been in this line of work before,

650
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: and I think had excessive with expectations about how quickly

651
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: things happened in the Democratic profits. And so part of

652
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: the reason I think people feel like we're under under

653
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: performing isn't because too many kind of artificial deadlines unrelated

654
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: to the reality of the complexity. UH legislative may not

655
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: have been full understood our polluting adversaries. He loves say

656
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: that anytime. So when I'm asking you to judge this conference,

657
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: planet finishes, how much have we done? Domic America competitive again?

658
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: And the roll again? And that's part of American again.

659
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: This is what h off about so much. How many

660
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: times do you pass something and it just goes over

661
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: and it sits on the Senate calendar. You got what

662
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: more than a undred items sitting over there. It's doing

663
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: seventy three, But who's counting. Um, yeah, maybe two or

664
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: seventy four. Yeah, we're gonna keep you here for Christmas

665
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: if we have to. I mean, I don't care. We

666
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: got to get this done. I mean it's just that important.

667
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: And so um, we are actually on track timeline wise.

668
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: The House pass it's budget resolution, the Senate got it

669
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: out of their committee. Next week they'll move their budget resolution.

670
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: Then we'll go to a conference committee, get that done

671
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: past that conference report, and then the Ways the Means

672
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: Committee will put their bill out because they have to

673
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: get a revenue line from the budget company report. Uh.

674
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: Then they'll put their bill out and then we'll go

675
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: to mark up and we'll go to the floor. Uh.

676
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: We'll get it over the Senate in November, and then

677
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: the Senate will process it and that gives us time

678
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: to get this thing done in law. All right, there,

679
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: you heard Paul Ryan and what he has wanted to

680
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: accomplish and the timeline he wanted to accomplish it to

681
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: a larger extent. Uh, he certainly has done a lot

682
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: more in the House, and the House has done a

683
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: lot more than the Senate. There's two bills passed in

684
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: the House, including really good bills like Kate's Law, sanctuary cities,

685
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: and and a lot of other things that the Senate

686
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: can't get done, like healthcare, for example. And there is

687
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: some worry and concern about this tax plan and whether

688
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: it's going to get passed in the House and then

689
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: get held up again in the Senate. What's what's John

690
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: McCain gonna do, What's Susan Collins gonna do, What's Lisa

691
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: Murkowski's gonna do. Ram Paul was very clear that if

692
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: he gets tax cuts for the middle classes on board anyway,

693
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: joining us now, Jim Jordan's former president of the Freedom Caucus,

694
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: he's still a member, and Ted Yoho as with us Congressman,

695
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: welcome both of you to the program. You know, on

696
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: the one hand, I know people are angry at all

697
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: of Congress, but the House has certainly done a better

698
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: job than the Senate. And I assume both of you

699
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: are hearing Jim Jordan, you're hearing Ted Cruz say well

700
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: it maybe next year. That scares me. Now it shouldn't be.

701
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: It should be now. American people are tired of waiting.

702
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: You're tired of waiting. We're tired of waiting. Uh, and

703
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: we're frustrated as as you rightly point out, Um, you

704
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: know six Republican Senator Sean voted against the very same

705
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: legend on healthcare, the very same legislation, the next same word,

706
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: same sentence, the same period, same calm, the same punctuating,

707
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: same bill. They voted against it back in July that

708
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: they supported twenty months ago. That's what's frustrating. So let's

709
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: let's get this. I'm confident, as the Speaker said, we

710
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: will get the tax bill out of the House. Freedom

711
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: Cocus supported the budget last week because we've got a

712
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: framework or where this plan is going, the rates that

713
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: are coming down. We we believe it's going to do

714
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: the three things that matter most. Let people keep more

715
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: of their money, simplify the code, and be conducive to

716
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: producing economic growth. And so we said we'll support it.

717
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: We'll pass the budget. I think it will get through

718
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: the House. But Japers, who knows what happens in the

719
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: United States Senate, Yeah, it's true. And Senator I'm sorry,

720
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: Congressman Yoho, what do you think? Well, I agree with Jim.

721
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: I hear a lot of deja vu, you know, on

722
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: what's going on with the tax plan that happened with healthcare.

723
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: And as Jim said, we passed the budget, and that

724
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 1: budget is a framework in a vehicle to use reconciliation

725
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: to get the tax reform. We have to deliver on

726
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: tax reform. And you know, we tried to get the

727
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: conference to stay in through August UM so that we

728
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: could do just this. And I heard Paul Ryan on

729
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: your interview, you know, the sound bites that you know,

730
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: we've got to get this done. We may work through Christmas.

731
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: Well we should have worked through August too. And I

732
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to beat you know,

733
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: I don't wanna um, you know, UM say anything negative.

734
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: Let's see what we get done. But it has to

735
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: get done. Well, I agree it has to get done,

736
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: but healthcare had to get done. And I actually love

737
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: what the President did yesterday. I mean, going back to

738
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: this seventy four law, which you know, corporations that have

739
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: offices in different states are allowed to now bypass us

740
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: whatever the state regulations are and federal regulations under the

741
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: A c A and Obamacare and form a cooperative or

742
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: a group of some kind. And now individuals, you know,

743
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: all restaurant workers can now you know, form their own

744
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: association or co op, and they can negotiate down prices

745
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: because of the volume of people that will be on

746
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: the individual plans, and they can buy across state lines,

747
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: and and catastrophic care is an illegal and they can

748
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: have many, many options for the very different plans that

749
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: people need. And maybe they'll buy their plan in Alabama

750
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: and will serve every restaurant worker in the in the

751
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: country and at a much lower rate. They're gonna start

752
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: saving money. Yeah, John, the association plans, interstate shopping all

753
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: make good sense. What the President did yesterday today with

754
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: these with these executive orders was exactly what he told

755
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: the letters he was going to do and why they

756
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: elected them. He's trying to make health care better. He's

757
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: trying to bring back affordable insurance and bring down the

758
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: cost of premiums. And frankly, what do you did on

759
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: these bailout payments, these CSR payments. This is simply following

760
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: the rule of law and following the Constitution, because the

761
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: court has said you cannot do what the Obama administration

762
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: had done. And the president, just like you did on

763
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: the DOCU immigration issue, he says, I am not going

764
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: to violate the rule of law. I'm not going to

765
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: violate the Constitution, and we're so. I applaud the President

766
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: for the positions he has taken, not only on the

767
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: docum immigration issue, but on this healthcare issue as well.

768
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: And it's simply doing something we talked about in the

769
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: Freedom Colocks all the time. It's simply doing what you

770
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: told the voters you were going to do when they

771
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: elected you. And that is what we need to stay

772
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 1: focused on doing. Is there any conversations with the House

773
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: and Senate? Like I know Mark Meadows was spending a

774
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 1: lot of time during the healthcare debate, you know, working

775
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: with senators and trying to get that bill passed, and

776
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: and he was fairly confident that they actually may get

777
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: there a couple of times, and you just felt barely

778
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: short on the thing um. Is there a lot of

779
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: discussions and do you have a feel at all that

780
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: the Senate can stick to its timetable and get their

781
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: job done in the month of November. Uh? This, Jim, here,

782
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: I do, and we are to having those discussions. I

783
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: mean we I talked with the sentators all the time.

784
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: You know, that's just the nature of our our our

785
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 1: line of work. I do think the Senators are feeling

786
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: as well. Uh, you know, when you go back home

787
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 1: and you talk to regular people, they're like, let's go.

788
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: So I think the senators are feeling like, you know what,

789
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: the way this healthcare thing played out wasn't the way

790
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 1: it was supposed to work. People aren't too pleased. Let's

791
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: make sure we actually let them keep more of their money.

792
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: Let's make sure we simplify the tax code. Let's make

793
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: sure we construct a code on the corporate side that's

794
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: going to produce jobs in economic growth. And I think

795
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 1: they're hearing that from people back home. So again, while

796
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm real confident about the House, I'm my confidence is

797
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: growing at the Senate will be able to get there too. Yeah,

798
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: I agree with that, and I think it will get

799
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: done by the end of the year, by by Thanksgiving

800
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: Christmas the latest. Yeah, I think so, I think so.

801
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: I think I think we have to again, Sean, you

802
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: brought up about what the president did and moving on

803
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: executive boarder. You know, Rand Paul had the idea of

804
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: association plans that he was pushing back at the very

805
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: first of the year, and we should have gone with that.

806
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: And then, um, what we did is we get introduced

807
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: a bill called Whole Harmless that would allowed insurance companies

808
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: right policies that weren't restricted to the mandates of Obamacare,

809
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: so that they could craft new policies so that they

810
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: could sell those that drive down the cost of insurance,

811
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: and then the Affordable Care Act would die on its

812
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: own demise. UH. And so we've got an initiative to

813
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: get that passed through UM. And that's the way to

814
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: dismantle the Affordable Care Act. And I applaud the President

815
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: for what he's doing. I think it's a right way

816
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: to go. And unfortunately, you know, via executive orders is

817
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: not the best way. But we'll take it, all right,

818
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 1: We'll take a break, we'll come back more with Freedom

819
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: Caucus members Jim Jordan's and Ted Yoho's with us. One.

820
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 1: Shaun is our number. Quick break right back. We'll continue,

821
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: all right, as we continue with Freedom Caucus members Jim

822
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: Jordan's and Ted yoho Is with us. On the President,

823
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: he laid out his plan on a ran today to

824
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: get tough and appeasement is now gone. And especially on

825
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: the Iranian UH forces military forces. UH. Is this gonna

826
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: be an enough to stop them from fomenting terrorifighting, proxy wars,

827
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: and their of course, their pursuit of nuclear weapons. Jim

828
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: Jordan's I think so, and I'm like Yushan, I think

829
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: what I think what the day's message was mostly about

830
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: was just just telling the whole world appeasement weakness. This

831
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: whole Obama leading from behind approach is done. It's over.

832
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: There is a new sheriff in town. There is a

833
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: president who understands that the world is better and safer

834
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: one America leads, and the world is certainly better and

835
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: safer when Iran is not on the course to get

836
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. So what the President proposed to day is

837
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: right on. And this is the large, as you rightly

838
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: know and have talked about, the largest state sponsor of terrorism,

839
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 1: a group that's supporting Assad, a group that is supporting

840
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: has Bola, a country that is you know, wants to

841
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: go after our best ally in the world, Israel. What

842
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 1: the President of today is the right thing to do.

843
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: And frankly, what we need to do now in the

844
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: Congress is start working on the sanctions that we might

845
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: need to put back in place, and we might need

846
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: to put them back in place a you know, ted

847
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: excuse me, Congressman Yoho. When I was in Harrisburg, p A.

848
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,959
Speaker 1: I talked to a lot of people and I asked

849
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: them three basic questions. What do you think of the President?

850
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: What do you think of uh Congress? And what do

851
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,720
Speaker 1: you think of the media? Well, they like the President,

852
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: they hate Congress, they hate the media. Do you think

853
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: your colleagues know how much they're hated? Well, I think

854
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: they do, you know, and that you know, there's a

855
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: lot of frustration. There's a lot of blame to go around,

856
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: and you know, we'll take our share. But as you

857
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: brought out in the beginning beginning, you know, uh, the

858
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,479
Speaker 1: House has passed over two hundred fifty bills and over

859
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,959
Speaker 1: or over three hundred bills and two are sitting idle

860
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: in the Senate collecting dust. So there's plenty of blame

861
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: to go around. But we also have to look at

862
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: the things that have happened. The American people allowed us

863
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: to have be able to say President Trump not President Clinton.

864
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: We've got a judge called Neil Gorsich, and that wouldn't

865
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: have happened under Hillary Clinton. We've repealed the Dodd Frankville

866
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 1: basically in the House, it needs to move and act. Well,

867
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: I agree. What are the other actions that are gonna happen.

868
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,399
Speaker 1: I'm afraid that that the President will make good deal,

869
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: although he said this week he will not on the

870
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: issue of DACA without get funding for full funding for

871
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: the wall first. And it's always the same deal. The

872
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,919
Speaker 1: deal is, Oh, you get the consideration, you never get

873
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: the wall built, you never get the protections, you always

874
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 1: get the tax increase, you never get the spending cuts.

875
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: Congress Jordan's now, I'm I'm look. I know the President

876
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: wants to do exactly what we told the voters, but

877
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: I get nervous about when when we have the spending

878
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: deadline coming the government funding bill has come to due

879
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: in December eight. I get nervous that bad things can

880
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: happen when you have this big spending package come due.

881
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: So you're right that this if we're gonna do anything

882
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: on DACA, there should be actual block being laid on

883
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: the border that to do the border security wall, like

884
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: the American people demanded in the last election, or there

885
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 1: should be at the same time when that passes, there

886
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: should be some mayor in in In in California, San

887
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 1: Francisco and Romney Manuel in Chicago standing up and screaming

888
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 1: because as we're actually taking away dollars from these sanctuary cities.

889
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: That's the kind of thing that has to get done

890
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: in any type of immigration overhaul that we do, because

891
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: that's what the American people elected us to accomplish, and

892
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: so we gotta push for those things that if there

893
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: is going to be some some addressing the doctor situation,

894
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: those elements have to be a part of any agreement

895
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: that goes forward. And that's that's what we have to

896
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: focus on. Al Right, guys, thank you both of me

897
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: and well us. We appreciate it. Jim Jordan's ted yoho

905
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: the answers no one else does. America deserves and know

906
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: the truth about Congress. And you know, the Democrats told

907
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: a very terrible fib They said that they read the

908
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: brackets so that the brackets were inverted, and if you

909
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: read it that way, but that's not the way it goes.

910
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: And we've been praised for the amount of money the

911
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: middle class. This is really what I'm looking for for

912
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: the middle class. I call it the working people. And

913
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,479
Speaker 1: the working people are going to get a massive tax break,

914
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: and corporations and companies and small companies are going to

915
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 1: get large scale tax relief and they'll be able to

916
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: keep compete with anybody in the world, which is what

917
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: we need. You're trying to incentivize those trillions to come

918
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: back here with the low repatriation rate. How low will

919
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: that be and how much do you think you can

920
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: bring back into the United States? And what does it mean? Okay,

921
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: so right now you have probably and nobody knows the

922
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: exact number because it's I actually think it's much higher

923
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: than people understand, but it will probably be over three

924
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: trillion dollars is outside of our country and our companies

925
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: and they just can't get it back. They're trying, but

926
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: they can't get it back. Number One, it's a bureaucratic mess.

927
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: Number two, of the tax rate is so high it

928
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. So what they do is they invested

929
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: in Europe and other places where the money is. And

930
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they do. Also, they leave the

931
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: country because the money becomes so much and so valuable

932
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: to them that they leave the country, our country to

933
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,240
Speaker 1: go and get their money. So they leave the country

934
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: and they fire everybody. Now, what we're doing is we're

935
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: lowering the rate so they can bring it back in.

936
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: We're giving them a shot to bring all that money.

937
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: It's all going to come back in. It's going to

938
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: come back in immediately. It's going to be more than

939
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,439
Speaker 1: three trillion dollars. Probably we're looking at a ten percent rate.

940
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: It may be around that number, maybe a little higher,

941
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: maybe a little lower, but it's gonna be right around

942
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: that number, probably ten percent. And right now what it

943
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: is is thirty five plus. Now, who's going to bring

944
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: money back when you have to pay by the time,

945
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: you finish almost half of your money in tax, So

946
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: they're never going to bring it back. So we're gonna

947
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: have that money come back in. It's gonna put people

948
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: to work so fast, and the money itself is going

949
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: to go to work very fast. And you know, say,

950
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: what do you want about Democrats and Republicans? For years

951
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: years and years everybody's wanted to do. Then you have

952
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars outside of our country offshore, and the

953
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: Democrats wanted it back, the Republicans wanted it back, everybody

954
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: wanted it back, and they couldn't do it. They couldn't

955
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: get a deal. We're going to do a deal, and

956
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: we're putting it down as part of our tax cuts.

957
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: So that's not really true that this is a tax

958
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: cut for the wealthy as they're portraying it. What is

959
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: your answer to that, Well, you know, you have some

960
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 1: really well run states that have very little borrowing, don't

961
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: have no borrowing, but very little borrowing. And it's unfair

962
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: that a state that is well run is really subsidizing

963
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: states that have been horribly mismanaged. I won't use names,

964
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: but we understand the names. But there are some states

965
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: that have hundreds of millions and billions of dollars in borrowing,

966
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: and it's unfair that those states really are being subsidized

967
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: by states like Indiana and Iowa. And I mean I

968
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: could name many states. I could probably named three quarters

969
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: of them. This a well run and they're being penalized.

970
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: They're being penalized, and it's not fair. And so what

971
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: we're doing is we're showing that now with all of that,

972
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: the tax cuts are so steep that the people in

973
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: every state benefit. But it's finally time to say, hey,

974
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: make sure that your politicians do a good job of

975
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: running a state, otherwise you're not going to benefit. You know,

976
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: you look at a place like Florida. It's really well

977
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: running Scott and you know by Governor Scott, he's done

978
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 1: a great job, and so many people have done a

979
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 1: great job that the people that had the intelligence to

980
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: elect them should really benefit. And that's what we're doing.

981
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 1: We're creating an incentive and the data of the bottom line,

982
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: they'll look, the tax cut is massive. We're bringing it

983
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: down to we're bringing it down to twelve percent for individuals,

984
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: we're bringing it down to zero in some cases. It's

985
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: the biggest tax cut in the history of our country.

986
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: And it's going to spur growth and it's going to

987
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: keep our companies here. Our companies are leaving because the

988
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: taxes are so high. Three now until the up of

989
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: the hour on this Friday, told free on numbers eight, nine, one,

990
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: seawn you want to be a part of the program.

991
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: And that was the President with me two days ago

992
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, explaining what his tax plan is all about.

993
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: Now in the House, the person that is going to

994
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 1: be most responsible for getting this out is it's a

995
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: change in tax law is the chairman of the ever

996
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: so powerful House Ways a Means Committee. The chairman of

997
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: that committee, Kevin Brady, joins us now and Sarah, welcome

998
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: to the program. How are you well, Sean, I'm doing great.

999
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 1: So I heard that boy the crowd and that hangar

1000
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania love that interview. Well, yeah, you can hear it.

1001
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: Um No, And you know what, I love the tax plan. Um.

1002
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,240
Speaker 1: I have a friend, I'm sure you've read his book,

1003
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: Larry cut Low, and he chronicles the success of the

1004
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: Kennedy tax cuts and the Reagan tax cuts. And you know,

1005
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 1: I could tell you Reagan went from seventy percent in

1006
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: the top marginal rate, twenty one million new jobs created,

1007
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,439
Speaker 1: and and we doubled revenues to the government. And there's

1008
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 1: still a mentality in a mind set that you've got

1009
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: to tax people or if you're not gonna have any money,

1010
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 1: But if you grow the economy, it's a far better

1011
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: option than all those people on food stamps and out

1012
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: of work and on the unemployment lines and in poverty

1013
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: would have an opportunity. We want growth in jobs, we

1014
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: want growth in paychecks. We want the growth the United States.

1015
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: We want to leave frog America from nearly dead last

1016
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 1: among our global competitors into that top lead pack and

1017
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 1: keep us here. That is that will as the President predicted,

1018
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: that'll that'll bring those jobs, those research facilities and manufacturing

1019
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: clients back to America, and and all of that, you know,

1020
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: is incredibly important and less This country wants to settle

1021
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: this mess of tax code in this slow growth economy

1022
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: where no one can really get ahead. That's the thing.

1023
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: And this selection was about the forgotten men and the

1024
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: forgotten women. You don't look at the numbers today. I

1025
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: mean you've got some of the highlights. The sentiment in

1026
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: the country. Consumer confidence now is that a thirteen year high.

1027
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: You know, I brought us up with the President the

1028
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: growth in terms of a million plus jobs already created. Uh,

1029
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: He's been able to eliminate a lot of the burdensome regulation.

1030
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: I don't see the problem being in the House. As

1031
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: I was talking with Freedom Caucus members just before you

1032
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: got on, they don't see a problem in the House,

1033
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: but we see another big problem emerging in the Senate. Look,

1034
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: no budget, no tax code, no tax reform. It's very clear.

1035
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 1: And so the Senate takes this up next week and

1036
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: we're hopeful they finish it out because again if they

1037
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: flots around the lay it, come up with some excuses, Um,

1038
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: we're not going to get tax reform done. And we're

1039
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 1: on a timetable to get this the present's test by

1040
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: the end of the year. If we can get this

1041
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: budget in place, well, it really has to happen. And

1042
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: I'll ask New Gingrich about it in the next half

1043
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: hour because if you want the economic growth that will

1044
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 1: jump start if look, if the American people start going

1045
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: back to work, people start getting out of poverty. We

1046
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: do have a seven year low now in terms of

1047
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 1: the labor participation. It was literally the highest, the lowest

1048
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: that had been in years, and now it's the highest

1049
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: in terms of participation, which is a good thing in

1050
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 1: seven years. And similarly that we have a seven year

1051
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: low of people on food stamps. So there's certainly movement

1052
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: in the economy. It really is. And you'll hear from

1053
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 1: the skeptics, they'll say Look, we're at full employment. There

1054
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: really is nothing we can do to get out of

1055
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 1: this sub two percent growth. But the presidents already showed

1056
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: in his first nine months there's a lot you can do.

1057
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: And just rebalancing regulations, trying to get Obamacare off people's backs,

1058
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: and now on tax reform, Look, we can jump to

1059
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 1: start this economy in a big way. We don't have

1060
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: to settle for stagnant paychecks. And Sean, we talked about

1061
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 1: this the first time we've visited, which is, can you

1062
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,919
Speaker 1: imagine a tax code so fair and simple nine out

1063
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: of ten people will be able to follow using a

1064
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: simple postcard style system. That fair, that flat, that that's

1065
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: the boldness we're going for. Here. A couple of questions

1066
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 1: that I asked the President that I want to ask

1067
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: you is the top eight is what thirty nine percent?

1068
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 1: That would go to thirty but you're gonna lose. For example,

1069
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: the alternative minimum tax has done away with, but also

1070
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: state and local tax income tax deductions go away. Now

1071
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,959
Speaker 1: I live in New York. In New York, so that means,

1072
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, I pay a top rate of nearly ten

1073
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: percent in terms of state income tax. In California, it's

1074
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half percent. They have a high rate

1075
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: in a state like New Jersey and in Illinois, so

1076
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: probably if I'm doing the math right, my rate may

1077
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: be lower, but I'm gonna end up paying more because

1078
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: i can't deduct those things. So I think at the

1079
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: end of the day, you will have less of the

1080
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: tax burden than you do today. In fact, our goal

1081
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: is to help people keep more of what they earned,

1082
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: no matter where they live, in a high tax state

1083
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: or low tax state, and what that means is look

1084
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: to get to the postcard style system. We're jettising a

1085
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: lot of those special provisions for some and lowering the

1086
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: rates for everybody. And we're working with I'm working with

1087
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: so is the House leadership, working with our lawmakers in

1088
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: high tax states. They just want to make sure their

1089
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: families are better off. And I'm and I'm confident we

1090
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: will make them better off because look, at the end

1091
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: of the day, you know, I don't know how in

1092
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: New York and California, Illinois, well, those governors and mayors

1093
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: have been soaking really putting the schools to people for

1094
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: way too long, and they're being hurt. So I think

1095
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: we need to provide tax relief to every American, regardless

1096
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: of where you live. Let me focus on the middle

1097
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: class part of this tax cut, which I agree on,

1098
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: the corporate tax cut, I agree on on changing rates,

1099
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: as the President corrected me the other night, it really

1100
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: is eight to four, not seven to three because people

1101
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: don't pay okay, so but it's it's within his campaign promise.

1102
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: And when you talk about the middle class, which is

1103
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority, and Rand Paul was adamant about this

1104
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: yesterday that he doesn't want that rate to be at

1105
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: for people that are making say between seventy five thousand

1106
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: and three hundred thousand dollars in other words, the middle class,

1107
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: upper middle class in this country, Well, they get a cut,

1108
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: a net cut. In no answer is absolutely yes, in

1109
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: fact that that is our top priority on the individual side,

1110
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: besides that simple postcard system, that middle class the tax cut.

1111
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: And I know some of the some of the analysis

1112
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 1: that's been floating around. In fact, Rand uses one of

1113
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: them from this very ultra liberal tax group that hated

1114
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: Trump's plan, that hated center polls and syntra Cruz's plan

1115
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: to try to make the claim we're not providing middle

1116
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: class tax cut. But I know the way we're setting

1117
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 1: the income limits, those brackets, increasing the child tax credit,

1118
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: in doubling that standard deduction. Middle class I think will

1119
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: be the most pleased when they see this tax reform plan.

1120
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: So the majority of those cuts, and then you'll still

1121
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: have you know, the bottom forty or of Americans at

1122
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: best pay two of the federal income tax bell. They

1123
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: will they will still have a majority of people or

1124
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 1: a near majority, to pay nothing at all in federal

1125
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: income taxes. Correct you know that that the answer is yes,

1126
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: because that's one of our challenges over the years is

1127
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: that that few and fewer Americans are paying those income

1128
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: tax at least, and more and more Americans are carrying

1129
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: Fewer Americans are carrying the ball. And so that's why

1130
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: when people say, look, let's let's try to raise taxes

1131
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: on the successful, our answer is, let's not. Why punish

1132
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: people for being successful? People built up a family on

1133
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: farmer business, or just worked hard, maybe two jobs. Why

1134
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: are we punishing them? Why don't we let everybody keep

1135
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: more of what they earned? All right, we'll take a break,

1136
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: we'll come back. And Kevin Brady is the chairman of

1137
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, we'll talk about

1138
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: the Senate and whether this bill is going to get

1139
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: through the Senate when we get back. All right, as

1140
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: we continue Sean Hannity Show, the Chairman of the House

1141
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 1: Ways and Means Committee, Kevin Brady, is with us. Congressman.

1142
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: I want to ask, is a Washington Post piece out

1143
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: today Finance two O two McCain could give the same

1144
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: thumbs down to a tax overhaul as he did the

1145
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: healthcare UH Ted Cruise is quoted as saying this might

1146
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 1: not happen until next year. And I'm just telling you

1147
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: if somebody is an outsider, everybody's saying to me, why

1148
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: can't they get their job done in the Senate? How

1149
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: hard is it, Sean for us to as Republicans in

1150
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 1: the House and the Senate and with the President, unite

1151
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 1: behind him on tax reform. And I'd add two on

1152
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: healthcare reform as well. But here we are. We need

1153
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: a budget out of the House and Senate. The House

1154
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: is delivered, we need tax reform out of the House

1155
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: and Senate. And as soon as the budgets done, Sean

1156
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: like within twenty four hours, I expect to bring forward

1157
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: UH the full comprehensive tax reform plan so we're determined

1158
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: to get this the President before the end of the year.

1159
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: And the budget I think is going to be the

1160
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: pitvol part of it. It needs to be done this month. Well,

1161
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: you're obviously in negotiations. You've talked to Mitch McConnell. Have

1162
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: you talked to John McCain, Have you talked to Susan Collins?

1163
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: Have you talked to Lisa Murkowski? Have you talked to

1164
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: all these other Republicans? Ran Paul, I know his one

1165
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: big issue has to be that it's got to be

1166
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: a middle class tax cut. You said that's handled, So

1167
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: you know who do you look at that might be

1168
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: a problem. Yes, So I've not talked to two Why

1169
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: I do talk to a number of the centors. I

1170
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: have not talked Cintor McCaine or Collins on the budget.

1171
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: I know that a number of the tax pro tax

1172
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: reform centers are talking those centers and I'm in look, um,

1173
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: I know Cintor McCain has voted for the budget I

1174
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: think every year since he's been the Republican budget, since

1175
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 1: he's been in the Senate. So here with the one

1176
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: in thirty years that will allow us to do pro

1177
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: growth tax reform. I can't imagine why you wouldn't, especially

1178
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: this is probably the most important budget vote and I

1179
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: voted on for the balanced and this was even more

1180
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: important because of this Reagan style reform. Yeah, I mean,

1181
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: and you think of the success that Kennedy and Reagan,

1182
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: do you think it'd be a no brainer. Um, If

1183
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 1: they're not going to get it done in the Senate,

1184
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, why are we even bothering at this point? Well, look,

1185
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm actually Sean, you know, I'm actually optimistic here. Look,

1186
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: people around the country may have been divided about Obamacare,

1187
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm not it's failing in Texas, but no one can

1188
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 1: defend this current tax code and how it costs families

1189
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: and young people in America's falling behind. And I'm hopeful,

1190
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: whether you're a Senator or a House mean, whe you're

1191
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: getting an earful back home that people want you to

1192
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: deliver on our promises. And so you know, I'm I'm

1193
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: more optimistic here, and I think to the President has

1194
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: played a key role, you know, sitting down working on

1195
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: a unified tax reform plan with the House and Senate. Um,

1196
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: that wasn't done even til very late in the Reagan process.

1197
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: That took about two and a half years. We're trying

1198
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: to be We're very ambitious and aggressive. We want to

1199
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: get this done by the end of the year. So

1200
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 1: pulling together on that key framework, I think that makes

1201
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna make a big difference going forward. All right, Congressman,

1202
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: keep us in the locally appreciate it. My mindset, it

1203
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: needs to be done by Thanksgiving, Christmas the latest, and

1204
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 1: to me it's it's we want to get the real

1205
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,919
Speaker 1: economic growth the president wants, the country needs. That's gonna

1206
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: have to get done. One Shawn, if you want to

1207
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: be a part of the program, and we're gonna take

1208
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 1: a quick break. When we come back, News round up,

1209
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: information overload will get to your calls. Also, new Kingridge

1210
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: will weigh in and much more straight ahead. This radical

1211
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 1: regime has rated the wealth of one of the world's

1212
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: oldest and most vibrant nations and spread death, destruction, and

1213
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: chaos all around the globe. Beginning in ninety nine, agents

1214
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: of the Iranian regime illegally sees the US embassy in Tehran.

1215
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: The nuclear deal through Rand's dictatorship, a political and economic lifeline,

1216
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: providing urgently needed relief from the intense domestic pressure the

1217
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: sanctions had created. It also gave the regime an immediate

1218
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: financial boost and over one hundred billion dollars its government

1219
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: could use to fund terrorism. The regime also received a

1220
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 1: massive cash settlement of one point seven billion dollars from

1221
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: the United States, a large portion of which was physically

1222
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: loaded onto an airplane and flown into Iran. Just imagine

1223
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: the sight of those huge piles of money being hauled

1224
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: off by the Iranians waiting at the airport for the cash.

1225
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: I wonder where all that money went. Worst of all,

1226
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: the deal allows Iran to continue developing certain elements of

1227
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: its nuclear program, and importantly, in just a few years,

1228
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 1: as key restrictions disappear, Iran can sprint towards a rapid

1229
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons breakout. In other words, we got weak inspections

1230
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: in exchange for no more than a really short term

1231
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: and temporary delay in Iran's path to nuclear weapons. What

1232
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: is the purpose of a deal that at best only

1233
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: delays Iran's nuclear capability for a short period of time. This,

1234
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: as president of the United States, is unacceptable. The flaws

1235
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: in the deal also include insufficient enforcement and near total

1236
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 1: silence on Iran's missile programs. Congress has already begun the

1237
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: work to address these problems. Key House and Senate leaders

1238
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: are drafting legislation that would amend the Iran Nuclear Agreement

1239
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 1: Review Act to strengthen enforcement prevent Iran from developing an

1240
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Internet and this is so totally important, and intercontinental ballistic

1241
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: missile and make all reason astrictions on Iran's nuclear activity

1242
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: permanent under US law so important. I support these initiatives. However,

1243
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: in the event we are not able to reach a

1244
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: solution working with Congress and our allies, then the agreement

1245
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 1: will be terminated. It is under continuous review, and our

1246
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: participation can be canceled by me as President at any time.

1247
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: All right, That was the President making his big announcement

1248
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: on Iran today and the Iranian Deal, and he is

1249
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 1: now pulled back on this and offering a new strategy,

1250
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: core new elements that will focus on neutralizing Iran's destabilizing

1251
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 1: influence in the entire region in the world and constraining

1252
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: their aggression, particularly their support of terrorism and proxy wars

1253
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: and militants. And anyway, new King Ridge is here to

1254
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: respond to this, Mr Speaker, I thought it was one

1255
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: of his best speeches. Today on foreign policy. And it

1256
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: was firm, and it was tough, and it was realistic

1257
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: and well thought out. You know, they have worked together

1258
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 1: as a team, and this is one of those things

1259
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: the elite media doesn't want to cover. But if you

1260
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: had all the major elements of the kabinet, I mean, Tillerson, Maddess,

1261
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:27,879
Speaker 1: uh McMaster, Kelly, Minute, that Treasury, everybody was working together

1262
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 1: to develop this strategy. They spent weeks on it. They

1263
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 1: consulted carefully with key people in the Senate, in the House, UH,

1264
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 1: and the result is um that they are I think

1265
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: announcing a very bold, very dramatic shift, but it's very nuance.

1266
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 1: They didn't pull out of the deal at this point.

1267
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: They set the stage to either get a lot of

1268
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 1: stuff fixed or in the future pull out of the deal.

1269
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: They have got Treasury for the very first time engaged

1270
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: in taking on the Revolutionary Guard and cutting off their

1271
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: their financial capabilities, which is a big step towards making

1272
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 1: this a government wide operation. UH. They announced clearly their

1273
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: determination to to stop the Iranian effort to create all

1274
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: the way from Tehran to to Lebanon in the Mediterranean,

1275
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,680
Speaker 1: an Iranian dominated world. And I think our allies in

1276
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 1: the region will be pleased. The Saudis and all the

1277
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: fifty five countries who came to meet with uh with

1278
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,600
Speaker 1: the president in Riad, I think they will all be

1279
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 1: pleased by the speech and field that it really sets

1280
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: the tone for taking on the Iranians. I agree with

1281
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,600
Speaker 1: you a wholeheartedly, and I think the crackdown on the

1282
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 1: revolutionary Guards is clear. Uh Net Yahoo has congratulated the president,

1283
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 1: so clearly there's there's just the beginning of support from

1284
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:51,679
Speaker 1: those in the region. There's been this emerging alliance between Israel,

1285
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, the Egyptians and the Jordanians. Um I had

1286
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 1: the opportunity when he was in town for the United

1287
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 1: Nations to sit down with the presid it In of Egypt,

1288
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 1: delcci and and get into this in detail. He clearly

1289
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:08,480
Speaker 1: seems to be one of the few that really understands

1290
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: the danger of radical Islam, and that's very courageously taken

1291
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 1: it on well. Of course, he had a speech last

1292
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 1: year to the most prestigious university and Amostal Morlanal. He

1293
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 1: sent to all of these gathered professors. Look, you are

1294
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 1: the people who have to fix us with You've you've

1295
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 1: allowed us to scare the world and we cannot continue

1296
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 1: to go down this road. He is very tough, very direct,

1297
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:32,600
Speaker 1: and I thought made a lot of sense. And I

1298
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: but he's shown an enormous coach. Uh. And as you

1299
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: know in my new novel Vengeance, we have Massad and

1300
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 1: the Saudi's both working with the United States to try

1301
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: to stop terrorists who've gotten nuclear material from North Korea.

1302
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 1: And I think that represents the future. I think you're

1303
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: gonna see all of these other countries coming together. The

1304
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: big divide is no longer Israel versus the Arabs. The

1305
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 1: big divide is Israel and the Arabs versus Iran and

1306
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 1: versus the terrorists. And that is an ormous change in

1307
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: the world. And I thought Trump today did a superb

1308
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,640
Speaker 1: job of laying it out in a calm, clear, I

1309
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,680
Speaker 1: thought very well delivered speech. Uh. And I thought his

1310
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 1: outline of the history of that period was very good.

1311
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: I'd actually written a paper a couple of weeks ago

1312
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:19,520
Speaker 1: that's circulated at the White House talking about death to America,

1313
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: which is what they were chanting in the parliament in

1314
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: Iran when they were passing their military budget. Uh. And Uh,

1315
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to publish a new version of it tomorrow,

1316
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: because uh, you know, the President did exactly what I

1317
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: thought he should do, and I want to praise him,

1318
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: and I want to praise the entire team because they

1319
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: all worked together to make this possible. Presidents had a

1320
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: pretty amazing week when you think of his executive order

1321
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: on healthcare and how it would allow. For example, it's

1322
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 1: legal now for corporations that have different offices in different

1323
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: states than not beholding the state law, than not beholden

1324
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 1: to the mandates of the a c A or Obamacare,

1325
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: And now he has expanded it and allowing any group

1326
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: of people cooperative whatever or PETE or trade organization to

1327
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:08,639
Speaker 1: do the exact same thing, which means that they then

1328
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: can have more purchasing power as a group, that they'd

1329
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: have more options because they could buy across state lines,

1330
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: they could add healthcare cooperatives as as a part of

1331
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: the solution, and catastrophic care, which is illegal under Obamacare,

1332
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 1: is now legal in this instance. I mean, that's a

1333
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: big week. Then of course you have him taken on

1334
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: the Iranians. The only thing that and and again the

1335
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: President is laid forth is economic plan this week, and

1336
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: the only variable here is he's done everything he can

1337
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 1: do on his own, Will the Senate now pass this

1338
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 1: tax plan? Well? And let mean, you know, and I

1339
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: also remind everyone that you had this week, you had, uh,

1340
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 1: Secretary Maddis, who is a retired Marine Force star general

1341
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:52,600
Speaker 1: of absolutely impeccable ethics and honesty, who said that the

1342
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 1: reports in the press of President Obama being irresponsible about

1343
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 1: nick Opens were totally false. Then you had General Kelly,

1344
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 1: a forced harmrine of impeccable credentials, come in and Chief

1345
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 1: of Staff and say, you know, you guys get things

1346
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 1: so wrong that I'm embarrassed for you, and I kind

1347
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,719
Speaker 1: of recommend you get better sources. Uh. And then talking

1348
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: to the White House Press Corps, I mean, what better

1349
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 1: evidence could you have that this is not a Trump problem,

1350
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 1: this is a news media problem than to have two

1351
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 1: guys of this caliber. Uh. And then last week you

1352
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 1: had you had Rex Hillers and say, you know where

1353
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: I came from. We didn't cover junk, and I can't

1354
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:31,800
Speaker 1: believe you guys are spending your time covering this kind

1355
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 1: of junk. Talking directly the Washington Press Corp. Again, I

1356
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: thought in that sense that beginning to communicate here as

1357
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: a team. They're working as a team that produced a

1358
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 1: bold new strategy for a RAND, which is a big deal.

1359
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: Their methodically working on the health system in ways that

1360
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: are very powerful, and by the way, they're being very constitutional.

1361
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean the decision they announced about requiring Congress to

1362
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: appropriate the money to subsidize low income healthcare recipients. That's

1363
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,680
Speaker 1: a Constitute show decision. And people tell you this is

1364
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 1: really bad. Well, yeah, it actually requires the Congress to

1365
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 1: do it. But that's what the Constitution requires. And I

1366
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: thought the President was exactly right and what he did,

1367
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: and I think it will give real impetus to Senator

1368
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 1: Lamar Alexander and Patty Murray and the bipartisan effort they've

1369
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 1: already started. But he but he again again. He's coming back.

1370
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 1: Ironically for liberals who worry about him. I did the

1371
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 1: Monk debate in Toronto last night with three thousand Canadians

1372
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: and my two liberal opponents. Oh it was great fun.

1373
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: It was It was on c SPAN. It's it's it's

1374
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:37,959
Speaker 1: it was streamed. Uh and it also was on Canadian

1375
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:41,559
Speaker 1: Broadcasting Life and uh, it was a great debate and

1376
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: my and my our two liberal opponents. We're talking about

1377
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:45,600
Speaker 1: how Trump is going to be an autocrat, and we

1378
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: kept staying away a second. Trump is the guy who

1379
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: said he couldn't solve the problem of the dreamers under

1380
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:53,880
Speaker 1: the Constitution. The Congress had to do his job. He's

1381
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 1: the guy who's saying he can't build the wall unless

1382
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: Congress gives him the money. He's not gone out by

1383
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: executive where Obama would have written an exa the order.

1384
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: So Trump's actually obeying the Constitution and he's actually circumscribing

1385
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 1: the presidency. He's a very strong president, but he's very

1386
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 1: strong within the Constitution. And I think that's just a

1387
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: remarkable thing that people can consistently in the elite media

1388
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 1: refused to cover. All right, stay right there, we'll take

1389
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 1: a break. We'll come back with new king Ridge. By

1390
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:24,200

Speaker 1: big bestseller, and it's called Vengeance, and Nuts has a

1393
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 1: travel schedule if you want to find out where you

Speaker 1: can go see him, and he's signing books and given speeches.

1395
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,639
Speaker 1: It's a Hannity dot Com eight nine for one, Shawn

1397
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 1: on this Friday, And as we continue with former Speaker

1398
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: of the House, New King Ridge's new novel is How

1399
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,760
Speaker 1: It's Called Vengeance? Was speaking last night at the University

1400
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 1: of Toronto. Who are you debating with last night? And

1401
01:15:56,320 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 1: it was it's it's actually it's an aitorium and it is.

1402
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: They sell tickets and they sold them out in one

1403
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:05,759
Speaker 1: hour for three thousand people. Uh, it's a great audience.

1404
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 1: And uh, it's called the Monk Debates m U n

1405
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 1: K after Peter Monk, who funded it and organized it.

1406
01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 1: I think this is the fourteenth or fifteenth year. I

1407
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,799
Speaker 1: was very lucky. On my side. I had Kim Straussell,

1408
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: who writes for the Walter Journals, as a remarkably bright

1409
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:23,800
Speaker 1: woman and did a great job. The other side, you'll

1410
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 1: love Andrew Sullivan and E. J. Bone Um, And if

1411
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 1: you have a good a chance, watch it with the

1412
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 1: sound off and watch these two guys melt down. They

1413
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 1: get so frenzied, uh and so frantic. At one point

1414
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 1: the moderator had to step in and say, no, it's everybody,

1415
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: calm down. Uh. And they were just they were so deeply, vehemently,

1416
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 1: viciously anti Trump that I was actually a little surprised.

1417
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Um yeah, and you know, not that it was emotional.

1418
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 1: Was in there got they were they were jumping up

1419
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: and down. Uh, they were so excited, um, you know,

1420
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: and I kept getting calmer the more they would get excited.

1421
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: So it was kind of fun. Actually. Now, the crowd

1422
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: was probably predisposed against you. Correct, well they were pretty

1423
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,640
Speaker 1: much so they were about two to one against you.

1424
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: But that was better last year. Laura Englim and I

1425
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:12,839
Speaker 1: went up there and the question was Trump or Hillary

1426
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: Canada and Canada before the election. Well, we started the

1427
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 1: night last year at eighty six to fourteen, we got

1428
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:24,839
Speaker 1: and we moved it up to eight twenty. And everybody

1429
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 1: at the reception afterwards said to me, what a great victory.

1430
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 1: That's so amazingly you did that. So last night we

1431
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 1: also gained ground. We didn't. We weren't as bad off.

1432
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: We started at something like sixty seven thirty three and

1433
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 1: we and we brought him down a good distance. But

1434
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:42,640
Speaker 1: but but you're right, although I did say that the

1435
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 1: crowd was wanted to look, you know, you are a

1436
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: much better crowd than than folks would be in at Berkeley.

1437
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 1: That was you actually get a word in a sentence out,

1438
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,840
Speaker 1: So that makes it a better crowd by its very nature. No,

1439
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 1: but it's a great debate. They do it every year.

1440
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 1: They do one a year, and I've done it three times.

1441
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm impressed with people. Really, we don't have anything quite

1442
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 1: likely in the US. People want to come and hear

1443
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: both sides. They love the debate format. It's been great.

1444
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,679
Speaker 1: You see, I've always been confident. And if you take

1445
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 1: a comedian out of the equation, because comedians are difficult

1446
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: to debate because they can flip on a dime and

1447
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, you you've literally made

1448
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: the best point you could possibly make against any argument

1449
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 1: they have, and then they just start telling jokes and

1450
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: everyone forgets the great point you made. But you know,

1451
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: if it's a head on debate and knowing Andrew Sullivan

1452
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: and e j Z yawn, Uh, this was like you know,

1453
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 1: taking candy from a baby. Why do I suspect that

1454
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: you probably won the crowd over because they couldn't respond

1455
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: that they're just a lot of what they are arguing

1456
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,680
Speaker 1: against Trump is emotional. Well, actually, it would be a

1457
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: great case study for somebody who wanted to look at

1458
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 1: at debate styles and you know, a very smart guy

1459
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: and was the head of the Oxford Union. The greatest

1460
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 1: debating I mean, I mean he's a very very good debater,

1461
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 1: but his emotion both and I was always surprised both

1462
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 1: of them. Their emotions got to them so deeply. I mean,

1463
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: don't take my word for anybody who's listening to us.

1464
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 1: You can go online and find it at c Span

1465
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: and you can find it at Monk Debates I think

1466
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 1: dot com and just watch it. And that's what surprised me.

1467
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 1: I mean, all right, Mr Speaker, if you want to

1468
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 1: find out about the Speaker's new book, Vengeance, it's on

1469
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 1: Hannity dot com. He's going to be going around the

1470
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 1: country and giving speeches and and by the way, remember

1471
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,679
Speaker 1: they should also look for Ellis the Elephants, and remember

1472
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: the Ladies Closter's latest book, which she's not allowed to

1473
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:31,719
Speaker 1: talk about because she's now becoming an inbassador. He's becoming

1474
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be the Mr Ambassador. I want to

1475
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 1: I want to know what the rules are for that

1476
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 1: you do a show on it. So I've done. All right,

Speaker 1: nine one, Shawn Hannity, we got an awesome show tonight,

1480
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 1: nine Eastern. Hope you set your d v R on

1481
01:19:46,960 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: the Fox News channel. The one thing you can always

1482
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 1: count on, John Hannity is back on the radio. I

1483
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 1: have been coughing up a lung today, but I don't

1484
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: think the audience knows it so much because I keep

1485
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:12,680
Speaker 1: using the cough button. So I'm trying to prevent the

1486
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 1: audience from here. Well, I don't know. I mean, I

1487
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:18,640
Speaker 1: actually think when you cough, your singing voices better. So

1488
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 1: maybe should keep that up. You want me to just

1489
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 1: keep it. You want me to just keep the cough

1490
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,400
Speaker 1: going that long all over the music. It's you know,

1491
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: it's weird. I just woke up in the middle of

1492
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,639
Speaker 1: the night last night just could not stop coughing for

1493
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: twenty minutes and it was painful. I was coughing so much,

1494
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 1: couldn't stop. And well, it's you know, you don't want

1495
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 1: to know the color of it either. That means you need,

1496
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:41,679
Speaker 1: you know, some some type of medicine of some kind,

1497
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 1: which is on order. If only we had a great

1498
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: healthcare plan that our present and try to help us with.

1499
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: If only I had Dr Josh Umber to call, and

1500
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: I could just run down and say, Okay, I need

1501
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: a Z pack and I have a Z pac. Please

1502
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: you better get on that radio union real quick. You

1503
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 1: know it's you know how many people wrote me and said, oh,

1504
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,800
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. I'm like, all right, why do

1505
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 1: I have to do? Why did I open my big

1506
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: fat mouth and say that it's not that shocking. But

1507
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 1: think about it now. What President Trump did this week

1508
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: would allow every single person in every single state and

1509
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 1: radio to form their own association healthcare group, and we'd

1510
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 1: have the buying power of However, many thousands work in radio,

1511
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about everybody from sales, receptionists, engineering that

1512
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:31,040
Speaker 1: work on the show's air talent or allege their talent,

1513
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 1: and everybody can get on the same healthcare or you

1514
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 1: get options, and you can buy across state lines, and

1515
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 1: younger people can get catastrophic care, and all of that

1516
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 1: could be done. And it can be done with any

1517
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 1: association group. It could be done with restaurant workers, it

1518
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: could be done with construction workers, it could be done

1519
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: with anybody. It would be great. By the way, I

1520
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:50,640
Speaker 1: felt like Hillary when I was coughing earlier today and

1521
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 1: when she's having her coughing fits. Uh, that wouldn't be

1522
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: good in this business, would it. I don't think that

1523
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: anybody beats Hillary and those coughing fits. And I really

1524
01:21:58,080 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: think it's odd that all of a sudden, miraculously she's

1525
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 1: not coughing anymore. We have sixty three days ago. Well

1526
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 1: thank you, WHOA you're spreading conspiracy theories, like just like

1527
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, she has a book titled What Happened? And

1528
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 1: this is a woman who sat up and testified that

1529
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:30,559
Speaker 1: she couldn't remember because she was having brain issues and

1530
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 1: aneurysms and she couldn't testify or tell anybody why she

1531
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 1: made decisions she made. And then she wrote a book

1532
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: called what Happened? Well, how do you know you can't remember? Okay,

1533
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 1: there you go. It was revealed this week that Congress

1534
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 1: has a delivery service, a government pharmacy will literally bring

1535
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: their medicines to the door, which I could use myself,

1536
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: but we don't have those benefits. But the weird thing

1537
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 1: about that article, and it's very scary, is that it's

1538
01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 1: all about Alzheimer's medications. So now you've got somebody bringing

1539
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 1: Alzheimer's medicaid to people in Congress voting on bill. Maybe

1540
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 1: they well maybe they forgot what the bill was, and

1541
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: maybe they maybe that's the reason they don't fulfill their promises.

1542
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 1: They forgot them. Well, they forgot that, they didn't vote.

1543
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 1: That's why nothing's getting past in the Senate. Let's get

1544
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: to our phones. Kurt Is in Illinois, Kurt High, how

1545
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: are you? And we're glad you called, sir, Happy Friday. Oh,

1546
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 1: good morning and actually afternoon. Thank you for taking a call, Yes, sir,

1547
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 1: question for you. Uh, where's Gloria right now? She lined

1548
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 1: up all those guys against those women against Trump? Where

1549
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 1: is she? And this? How come she's been I think

1550
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 1: you're referring to her daughter, You mean Gloria Allread and

1551
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:41,879
Speaker 1: Lisa Blood was involved. But why hasn't she gotten involved

1552
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,719
Speaker 1: with Probably because her daughter's was involved in the issue,

1553
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 1: But she did. This was pretty interesting, she had said

1554
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 1: before Lisa Bloom quit working for Weinstein. Apparently she's been

1555
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:55,519
Speaker 1: working with him for a year to try and teach

1556
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 1: him how to be a normal human being. I mean,

1557
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:00,720
Speaker 1: because that's what you're talking about here, it's you know,

1558
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:05,600
Speaker 1: what he were we're describing here is just an abusive,

1559
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 1: overall bully personality that has no respect for other people.

1560
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 1: That's what you're describing. Narcissism on a on a maximum scale.

1561
01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I read the report yesterday that, oh,

1562
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:20,680
Speaker 1: they have sex contracts out in Hollywood. Did you read that, Well,

1563
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna have sex, but you can't sue me after

1564
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,759
Speaker 1: we have sex. I'm like, wow, that's such a world

1565
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 1: full of love, isn't it. You know, you go from

1566
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 1: from pre nups to to post numps to this nup

1567
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 1: to you know that there are people putting in their

1568
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 1: pre nuptial agreements how many times they've got to have

1569
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 1: sex a week as a means of contractual obligations for marriage.

1570
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 1: And I'm like, all right, what am I missing here? Well,

1571
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 1: you know what's happened to this institution that you know,

1572
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 1: we're all we grew up thinking, Oh, we're gonna have

1573
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 1: a nice picket fence and a dog and a and

1574
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: three kids and and a nice car, and we're gonna

1575
01:24:56,960 --> 01:25:00,040
Speaker 1: go to Disney once every three years. It seems that

1576
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 1: that illusion is being blown up. But you know, we

1577
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 1: got we got real talk of rape, We got real

1578
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 1: talk this this whole issue of the casting couch is

1579
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 1: real and the abuse of these women is real, and

1580
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 1: everybody knew it, and the media covered it up, and

1581
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: the Hollywood people, including stars covered it up, and they

1582
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 1: joked it was an open joke. But it's not a

1583
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 1: joke if you're the victim of this one. Sean is

1584
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 1: our number. We got. Kathy is in Westchester and New York,

1585
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 1: Kathy High, How are you glad you called on those

1586
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:33,200
Speaker 1: Friday doing well? Um, I've been listening to this whole

1587
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 1: NFL issue. Should they say are they going to stand?

1588
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 1: Are they gonna kneel? But my point is who gets

1589
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: to decide what what the protests? So today Colin Kaepernick

1590
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 1: makes this up? I mean tomorrow, what's the protest to

1591
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 1: your Do they have the players vote? I mean, at

1592
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: what point do we stop the protesting? I mean, is

1593
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 1: the game going to be just a constant stream of

1594
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 1: there There's never been a defined reason for the protests

1595
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 1: except just generalized discrimination or the condition of of of

1596
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:08,960
Speaker 1: black America. I've never heard in the case of Kaepernick.

1597
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that's been all over

1598
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 1: the map in terms of what he's doing and why

1599
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 1: he's doing it. And then absolutely, but I'm not minimizing.

1600
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 1: The cores are saying that we don't have issues, But

1601
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:20,640
Speaker 1: what about the players in the league that don't, that

1602
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:23,600
Speaker 1: don't want to protest that issue, and maybe they have

1603
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:26,759
Speaker 1: another issue they want to protest. So but it's interesting

1604
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,719
Speaker 1: that but the league won't let you put an emblem

1605
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,640
Speaker 1: on your helmet to honor police officers that were assassinated

1606
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 1: in the line of duty. They won't let you put

1607
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:39,680
Speaker 1: on your cleats remember never again. Nine one right. It

1608
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. It's just it's to me, it's like

1609
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 1: raising children, and you can't get you can't let your

1610
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 1: children dictate what's going to happen. You can't let your

1611
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:51,080
Speaker 1: children get away with a temper tantrum because at the

1612
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:52,799
Speaker 1: end of the day, you're going to end up in trouble.

1613
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 1: So here we are, instead of nipping it in the

1614
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 1: button saying this is not the forum, this is a

1615
01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 1: form of entertainment, they've now let it go like a

1616
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: rolling train, and now how do you stop this? You know,

1617
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting to listen to these players. They're

1618
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:09,679
Speaker 1: not going to listen to the league. They're not gonna

1619
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 1: listen to Roger Goodell. And now the question is is

1620
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 1: the league going to allow them to destroy the organization.

1621
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 1: Individuals will have the look. I just think a lot

1622
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 1: of people are like me, they're fed up. I'm not.

1623
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not. It's Friday. I normally would say, Okay,

1624
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 1: who's playing this weekend? I don't know who's playing. I

1625
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 1: do know the Jets are playing the Patriots that I know,

1626
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 1: and uh, I know the Giants are oh in five,

1627
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter. And I just I'm not interested.

1628
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 1: And I've been watching a lot more college football than

1629
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 1: I've ever watched in my life. Um, which, by the way,

1630
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,680
Speaker 1: in the South, I mean, it's college football. It's like

1631
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 1: religion day. It's you know, you go to church on Sunday,

1632
01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 1: you go to a football game on Saturday, and you

1633
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 1: go to high school football on Friday night. So it's

1634
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:57,519
Speaker 1: a it's a big deal. And I think there's something

1635
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:00,680
Speaker 1: to be said about these kids that are student athletes,

1636
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 1: and it's like they've got a full time job. Then

1637
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 1: they're working on their education, a lot of discipline in

1638
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: their lives, and they're The level of talent is off

1639
01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:12,240
Speaker 1: the charts. It is off the charts fantastic, and then

1640
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 1: you see you know, you see the difference, the subtle

1641
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 1: differences between those in college and not at the pro level,

1642
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 1: and then you're trying to guess which ones will break

1643
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:23,679
Speaker 1: through into the pros um and it's not many. But

1644
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: that's what that's where I find my heart right now.

1645
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a big fan right now, just watching college

1646
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 1: football nine one sewn. You want to be a part

1653
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:51,800
Speaker 1: the hill country in Texas. And what you were doing

1654
01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 1: and what this president is doing, y'all are loved out here.

1655
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,320

Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Let me tell you that rural

Speaker 1: America is alive. It's well and the prospering. And we

1658
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:06,680
Speaker 1: think back to this president and you for supporting him.

1659
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 1: You wouldn't believe what is going on out here. And

1660
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:11,559
Speaker 1: the young entrepreneurs that have hoped for the first time

1661
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,559
Speaker 1: in many, many years. You know, I get attacked a

1662
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 1: lot Donald Trump if you look at his agenda and

1663
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:23,759
Speaker 1: you compare it to say Reagan on his tax plan,

1664
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:27,599
Speaker 1: on his position on peace through strength and standing up

1665
01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 1: to evil in our time, his position on immigration, his

1666
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 1: position any unlimiting regulations and burdensome regulations. It's it's all

1667
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 1: reagan Esque. And what most people can't get over is

1668
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:46,639
Speaker 1: that he won't become He won't stylistically be who they

1669
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 1: want him to be. And unless than until he capitulates,

1670
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:53,519
Speaker 1: he will always be looked down on by the quote

1671
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 1: elite classes in the media, the punditry class, the never

1672
01:29:57,680 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: trumper class um. I have nothing but contempt for these people.

1673
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,799
Speaker 1: At this point, I think there are a bunch of phonies.

1674
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:10,080
Speaker 1: I think there has been a cabal of establishment insider

1675
01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, back back slapping that has gone on that

1676
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 1: while I always knew existed, I didn't know the level

1677
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:20,480
Speaker 1: to which it exists. And now it's all being exposed.

1678
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,360
Speaker 1: And the American people should be at the forefront of

1679
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 1: all these discussions, the forgotten men and women, So we

1680
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:29,439
Speaker 1: help them get out of poverty, off of food stamps,

1681
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 1: back to work, and prospering. And I get the distinct

1682
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:36,160
Speaker 1: impression that many of these people that say their Republicans

1683
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:39,519
Speaker 1: say that they are, you know, the never Trumper, because

1684
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:43,240
Speaker 1: they're so arrogantly elitist in their mindset and they think

1685
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:47,720
Speaker 1: they're so superior. They would rather know progress at all

1686
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:50,840
Speaker 1: for the country as long as they could be proven right.

1687
01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:55,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was not the right guy. Sad, you know,

1688
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:58,639
Speaker 1: they care about nobody but themselves. They're doing fine, by

1689
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:01,679
Speaker 1: the way, as so many others in this country are suffering.

1690
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,280
Speaker 1: All Right, that's gonna wrap things up for today. We

1693
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 1: to Hollywood, the media, the Democrats, hypocrisy. We have full
