Will President Biden 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: heed that advice? We'll find out.

I am thankful that I got to spend a 36 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: whole other week with you guys talking about the thing 37 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: that I like to think about the most anyway, which 38 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 3: is politics. Oddly, and it's a little sick, but that's 39 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: the truth. So there you have it. I know, it's 40 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 3: been a good week with you guys, and lots of 41 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 3: great guests and lots of fun topics and a great 42 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: control room back there and also in Denver that we 43 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 3: are very thankful for as well. 44 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: No, absolutely, doctor Gina. And there's lots of headlines coming 45 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: out of Capitol Hill. Since you liked politics. Oh, I 46 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: got plenty of politics from doctor Jina. Absolutely. Thursday was 47 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: a really big day on Capitol Hill. In fact, the 48 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: acting director of the Secret Service once again admitting that 49 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: his agency failed and its mission to keep now president 50 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: ele like Donald Trump safe from assassination attempts. Ronald Rowe 51 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: also claims he has overhauled the agency security practice as 52 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: following the July attack on President Trump's life in Pennsylvania. 53 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: That was his testimony before a House task force of 54 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: seven Republicans and six Democrats who are investigating the two 55 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: failed assassination attempts on the soon to be forty seventh president. 56 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: But this interaction you're getting ready to see over Roe's 57 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: appearance at this year's nine to eleven commemoration, attended by 58 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: Presidents Trump and Biden, as well as Vice President Harris, 59 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: is what really has people on Capitol Hill talking Listen. 60 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 4: Responded to Ground Zero. 61 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: I was there going through the ashes of the World 62 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: Trade Center. 63 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 4: I was there at Fresh Kills. 64 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: I'm not asking you that, Connor, and. 65 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 4: To show respect he die. 66 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 3: I do not know that you're trying to be do 67 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: not in vote nine to eleven for political purposes. 68 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 4: Not I'm invoking lor sir, you are out of the 69 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 4: moment to ask him, and don't by. 70 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: Me WHOA All right, let's get back to the real 71 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: substance here. As for the assassination attempts against President Trump, 72 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: Roe says there will be accountability. He also claims that 73 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: accountability is already occurring, but there's not specific information about 74 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: what kind of penalties those involved are or will face. 75 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: House Democrats successfully force a vote on releasing the infamous 76 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: House Ethics Committee report on former Florida Congressman Matt Gates. 77 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: House Republicans, on the other hand, shoot down the idea 78 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: before a final vote. Instead, the lawmakers voted to refer 79 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: the resolution to the relevant committee. It's highly unlikely that 80 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: a gop led committee will take up the measure, though, 81 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: meaning it's essentially defeated. Long story short here, the ethics 82 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: report surrounding Gates likely will never see the light of day. 83 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: You may remember, Gates resigned his Congressional seat before the 84 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: document was set to be released. Congressional leaders decided not 85 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: to release that report, saying they no longer have jurisdiction 86 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: because Gates isn't a congressman anymore. He stepped down in 87 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: order to pursue his nomination for President Trump's attorney general, 88 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: and eventually withdrew his name from that job over concerns 89 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: about that ethics report. The jury deliberating the fate of 90 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: the former Marine charged in the deadly chokehold death of 91 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: a homeless man on a New York subway could return 92 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: their verdict as soon as today. The twenty four year 93 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: old is accused of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. He 94 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: is pleaded not guilty to both charges. But as day 95 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: four of jury deliberation gets under way today, the victim's father, 96 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: the victim's father is now suing his son's killer. The 97 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: civil suit was filed on Thursday, even before the criminal 98 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: case is decided. The case is being brought in the 99 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: New York Supreme Court and accuses the former Marine of 100 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: negligence along with the sault and battery in that twenty 101 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: twenty three choke hold death. The court filing says the 102 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: suit is seeking damages quote in the sum which exceed 103 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: the jurisdictional limits of all lower courts which would otherwise 104 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: have jurisdiction here. We'll, of course let you know how 105 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: all of this works out, both the criminal and the 106 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: civil case. All right, let's get you back over to David. Now, David, 107 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: that story is one that I think we're going to 108 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: be following a lot of interest there out of New 109 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: York specifically related to that. 110 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: Story, no doubt about it, and we'll have it here, 111 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: of course, across the network all day long. We now 112 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: know turns that the final majority the Republicans are going 113 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: to have in a House, it's going to be razor thin. 114 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 2: Let's give you the numbers. Republicans currently have two hundred 115 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 2: and twenty seats to Democrats two hundred and fifteen. However, 116 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: you've got Matt Gates. He's gone or he's going to 117 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 2: be gone in this next congress. Mike Walls a least staphonic. 118 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: They're set to resign in the next Congress so they 119 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,119 Speaker 2: can go serve in the Trump administration. So that's three. 120 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: That leaves Republicans with just two hundred and seventeen seas, 121 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: not two twenty, until special elections are held to replace 122 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: those three seats. So here's the math. It's a two 123 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 2: seat majority, two seventeen to two fifteen, at least until 124 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: those other three seats are filled. I hope I made sense. 125 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. Did I just confuse myself? I don't 126 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: think so. I think I was very self I think 127 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: I explained it well, thank you very much. So what 128 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: can we expect as we get closer to the next Congress. Oh, 129 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: I have an idea. Let's bring in Daily Signal political 130 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: editor or politics editor Bradley Devlin. You tell me, Bradley, 131 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: would you like to call political editor or politics editor? 132 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 4: But you know one works either one works for right. 133 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 4: But what I will say, I will say you nailed it. 134 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 4: You did a great job explaining what's an issue here. 135 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 4: You know, we've got to have replace these prominent representatives 136 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 4: in Congress before Republicans can feel very confident in this 137 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 4: five seat majority. But this razor thin majority, what does 138 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 4: it do well? It means that any two members can 139 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 4: get together and kind of force different items that are 140 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 4: on their personal agendas, right, that are on their constituents agendas, 141 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 4: to try to lump that into any sort of budget 142 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 4: reconciliation deal that's going through. Whether that reconciliation deal is 143 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 4: targeting tax cuts, is it targeting tariffs, is it targeting immigration. 144 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 4: So Mike Johnson has a tough road to hoe and 145 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 4: ahead of him. After continuing to secure the Republican majority 146 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 4: for another two years, I think he's in a stronger 147 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 4: position than he was when he entered the office originally. 148 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 4: But Nevertheless, we have a government funding fight still upcoming 149 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 4: in December, and that's going to tell us a lot 150 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 4: about how the Republican Conference feels about their speaker Bradley. 151 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: A quick follow up on that, the Trump tax cuts. 152 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: You would think that could get through on a razor 153 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: thin majority extending the Trump tax cuts, but that immigration 154 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: a whole different Bak. 155 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think it's going to be a difficult procedural 156 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 4: mechanism that Johnson's going to have to use. We've seen 157 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: this previously where Johnson's use something called a MIRV an 158 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: mr V, which basically means that it's one rule set 159 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 4: passed by the Rules Committee to govern four different aspects 160 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 4: of a single bill. So basically, the Rules Committee says, 161 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 4: here is the here are the rules that will govern 162 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 4: our debate over these four different topics, and the House 163 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 4: votes four different times on each of these items. Remember 164 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 4: this was a supplemental bill for foreign aid in particular, 165 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 4: that he used the MIRV on last time. He could 166 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 4: use a NERV this time, which says, Okay, we're going 167 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 4: to pass the tax cuts with this coalition. We're going 168 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 4: to pass immigration with this coalition. We're going to pass 169 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 4: tariffs with this coalition and together, maybe we can string 170 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 4: together enough votes, whether they're Democrat or Republican. Obviously, most 171 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 4: of these things are going to be single party vote. 172 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 4: If we can string that all together, then at the 173 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 4: end all of those bills will get packaged together and 174 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 4: put into law. The question though, is can they do 175 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: that not only a procedurally, but can they make it 176 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 4: appropriate for budget reconciliation. That's a very, very difficult challenge, Bradley. 177 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: While there's lots of enthusiasm about Republicans having majority in 178 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: the House and the Senate, and of course now having 179 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: the White House, it seems to me that there's added 180 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: pressure with these majorities to get a lot of the 181 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: ideas and a lot of the agenda items past. Obviously 182 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: you talked about the budget, but there's also the debt 183 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: ceiling coming up in the new year, and there's several 184 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: other big things. Does that really add to the pressure 185 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: having the majorities across the board to make sure that 186 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: something actually gets done? 187 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 3: Oh? 188 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 4: I think this is the window, right. The chances are 189 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 4: that Republicans are going to get wiped out in twenty 190 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 4: twenty six in the midterms. Why the Senate map doesn't 191 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 4: look great and the coalition that the Republican Party uses 192 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 4: to win elections every four years potentially presidential election just 193 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 4: doesn't show up to special elections in midterm elections like 194 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 4: the Democratic Party's current base does. And so you have 195 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 4: eighteen months to get everything done, just like we had 196 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 4: in the first two years of the Trump administration last time. 197 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 4: And the pressure is on because last time, Paul Ryan 198 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 4: and the Republican Party in the House failed to deliver 199 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 4: what President Trump's voters and constituents were hoping they get 200 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 4: out of the House of Representatives. Mike Johnson, I think 201 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 4: is going to be a better ally to President Donald 202 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 4: Trump than Paul Ryan ever was. But nevertheless, it's not 203 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 4: just Mike Johnson, right. He doesn't rule the conference with 204 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 4: an iron fist like Nancy Pelosi does. A lot of 205 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 4: different members are going to have to get little carrots 206 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 4: or sticks dangled in front of them to get in 207 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 4: line and pass the President's agenda. 208 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 3: Joe Biden is weighing preemptive part as we're hearing about 209 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 3: it all the time. He's about to leave office. He 210 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 3: doesn't care and he knows that there's a lot of 211 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: lawlessness in his own family. We've seen reports like this 212 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 3: one Politico saying Biden's weighing pardons for people he believes 213 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 3: could be investigated by the incoming Trump administration. Deliberations are 214 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 3: currently underway for these measures. How damaging would this move be. 215 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 4: I mean, it'd be terrible, but it would be specifically 216 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 4: terrible for the Democratic Party. Joe Biden's legacy. There's not 217 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 4: much of a legacy there. The reason that he partned 218 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 4: his son was a big, you know bird to the 219 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 4: Democratic Party, who will have to live with the final 220 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 4: actions of this Democratic president going forward. He won't have 221 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 4: to suffer those political ramifications. But if he does decide 222 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 4: to pardon members of his administration before the Republicans can 223 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 4: act against them, I think what that sets up is 224 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 4: a lot of folks are going to be really upset 225 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 4: that there's going to be no accountability in Washington, d c. 226 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 4: For the failures of the last four years. Trump was 227 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 4: elected to deliver accountability, to shake things up. We've seen 228 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 4: that with Doge and Elon and Vivek and the like, 229 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 4: and Biden trying to prevent that preemptively. I think I 230 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 4: think it would also tip the cap to yeah, there 231 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 4: was something improper going on here. And if Republicans do 232 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 4: get to the end of it, well they're not going 233 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 4: to be able to prosecute anyway. I don't think that 234 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 4: should stop Republicans. I don't think any sort of pardon 235 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 4: should stop Republicans from at least investigating the failures of 236 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 4: the last four years. And you know, sometimes that alleviates 237 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 4: some of the pressure that Republicans would feel, because you know, 238 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 4: do we really want to indict a former president or 239 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 4: do we want to indict members of the president's family, 240 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 4: et cetera. I mean, those are difficult political calculations. Sometimes 241 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 4: we think of the Gerald Ford Nixon era. We've just 242 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 4: absolved Republicans of that. So now, I mean they can 243 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 4: go in guns blazing and try to uncover as much 244 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 4: as they can. And I think that's what Joe Biden 245 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 4: is afraid of. 246 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 2: Radlely Devlin a really good information. You know, Donald Trump 247 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: does the weave. You do the MERV this morning, So 248 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: thank you, sir, I appreciate it. 249 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 3: MERV. 250 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 2: Something new you guys all right? Coming up. Ukraine has 251 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 2: repeatedly said they want to join NATO. Yeah, well, one 252 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: senator said that would end in disaster. We have those 253 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 2: from Marks first, though, Tennessee Senator Marshall Blackburn has a 254 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: plan to drain the swamp and rein in the size 255 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: of government. We're going to bring that plan to your 256 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: next On American Sentris
