Once you have a 17 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: certain amount of them, you kind of get sick of 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: them after a while. 19 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: How do you? 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: And then I tell my family, You see, my birthday 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: is five days after Christmas, and all I tell my 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: family is all I want is a Betty Crocker cake 23 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: of vanilla cake with that canned vanilla icing. 24 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 2: That's all I want for my birthday. 25 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: And then they always try to turn it into something 26 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: elaborate that I always find out ahead of time, and 27 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: I try to cancel ahead of time, and I know 28 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: they're trying to be nice, or they give me something 29 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: that I don't need or want anyway.

I turn mine into a birthday month, so 38 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: we just celebrate the whole month and we don't do 39 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 3: anything big. I don't like big parties either, and I 40 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: hate surprises. I'm one of those people that please don't 41 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: ever surprise me with anything. So you know, I just 42 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: talk about it for a month, and then they're so 43 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 3: sick of me talking about it that then they just 44 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: don't really want to have a big party either, And 45 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 3: it's just a. 46 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: Lot of It's like at that point it's anti climatic. 47 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 3: Right exactly. Then it's not that big of a deal. 48 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: And then there see, but you just turned thirty nine, 49 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: you know, once you hit fifty and I had a 50 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: big blowout for my fiftieth birthday. 51 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: That's it. I'm done. 52 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think at fifty you you just in 53 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: your mind. You stay there mentally, spiritually, emotionally, right. 54 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope. So, boy, I'm going to try really 55 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 3: hard to dial back time here because I'm fifty today, 56 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: which for me seems like I should not even be 57 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: close to that number. 58 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: So well, you're not. So you're doing pretty well, all right. 59 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this first. Let me play Kamala 60 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: Harris refusing to comment on TikTok, and of course our 61 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: giggling vice president starts giggling at the end of the 62 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: question out of I think it's a nervous habit she has. 63 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: But we'll get your take on it. Listen, you don't 64 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: have a specific view on TikTok yourself? Are you on 65 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 2: TikTok yourself? I'm not a way of a voyeur and 66 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: my family are. I'll tell you that, and you tell 67 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: me to get off. You know, you can tell you. 68 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 2: I think of your family all. 69 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 4: Kinds of. 70 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 5: Right. 71 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: You have been in the forefront really of trying to 72 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: warn people that TikTok is in fact a spy mechanism 73 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: of the communist Chinese. Now, others have been saying it, 74 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: but nobody's been saying it as loudly as you, as 75 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: often as you. Yeah, you know, so is it a spy? 76 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: Is it something that Chinese spy on the Americans? 77 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 3: With absolutely one thousand percent, it is. It is a 78 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 3: tool that they are using to undermine the United States 79 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 3: of America, and they will continue to gather more and 80 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: more information and manipulate Americans thoughts and perceptions in order 81 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: to control us. So we were the first state to 82 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 3: ban it. Since then, I think thirty states have banned 83 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: TikTok on government devices. Even the federal government has taken 84 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 3: action to do so that's what was so puzzling by 85 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: her answer, is she didn't give an answer, which is 86 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 3: strange because their administration has already taken action on it. 87 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 3: And I thought it was especially interesting in that clip too, 88 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: how she can't even get her family to listen to her. So, 89 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 3: you know, you kind of want a vice president that 90 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 3: has influence and that when they talk people listen and 91 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 3: pay attention, and she doesn't even have that in her 92 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: own family members. 93 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: So we're in now, Farretta tonight and we're doing our 94 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: big blue state red state debate. Maybe you could do 95 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: one in the future against the governor of your choice. 96 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: Maybe is there anybody in mind that you would like 97 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: to debate? 98 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 3: Oh, I think Whitmer's done a terrible job up there 99 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 3: in Michigan. I can't even figure out what she's thinking. 100 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 3: But you know, I think it'll be fantastic to watch 101 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 3: you guys tonight and to watch Governor DeSantis and Governor 102 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: Knows some contrast of policies, because that is what is 103 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: unprecedented that we have right now going on in this country, 104 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: is that we for years have talked about liberal policies 105 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: conservative policies. We now have concrete examples of the effect 106 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 3: of those policies on people's lives. And so I'm hopeful 107 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 3: that they will just roll out the exact lifestyle that 108 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: people in their states are living, because ninety nine out 109 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 3: of one hundred people, if they really knew what it 110 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 3: was like and what it could be like living in 111 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: a state like South Dakota or Florida, they would choose 112 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 3: our states over California every day. I get that they 113 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 3: get great weather, and I agree to it, it's beautiful 114 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 3: out there, but the rest of it is just tragic 115 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: what he has done to that state and what liberal 116 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 3: policies have done to that state. 117 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: You know, I think this is a debate that people 118 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: need to have. I don't think people fully grasp or 119 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: understand how profound it is that on the state level, 120 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: the local level, the impact that politicians and laws and 121 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: rules and regulations can have on people's lives. And governor, 122 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you know as a governor that had you taken, 123 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: for example, a very different posture on something like COVID, 124 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: it would have been an entirely different experience for the 125 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: people of your state. You did not shut anything down. 126 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: Granted you don't have a population, say the size of 127 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: New York City or Los Angeles or whatever, but it 128 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You made a decision to do it one way, 129 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: and it impacted people's lives. And I think, you know, 130 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: we tend to get caught up with what the federal 131 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: government's doing all the time, but what's happening on the 132 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: state local level matters a lot also. 133 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and we still have parts of our state that 134 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: are extremely populated and that are relevant to what it 135 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 3: looks like in parts of those larger cities. I would 136 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: just say, Sean, I hope one thing you asked these 137 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 3: governors tonight, and especially Governor knew them, where did he 138 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: think he had the authority to decide that in. 139 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 4: His job description, which. 140 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: Should come from his state constitution in the US Constitution. 141 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 3: Did he have anybody in his office that ever said 142 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 3: to him, Wait a minute, Governor, you don't have the 143 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: legal authority to do that. You don't have the legal 144 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 3: authority close on that business. Because because from what they did, 145 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: they literally opened up the door for those business owners 146 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 3: and those people to sue them as a governor and 147 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 3: as a state for a taking of their business, and 148 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 3: opened up the tax payers of their two billions of 149 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: dollars worth of legal liabilities. They could have bankrupted California 150 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: and these other states by the decisions that they made. 151 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: And did they really grasp the monumental things they were 152 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: doing that were far beyond their scope of just being 153 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: governor of their states. 154 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,119 Speaker 1: Well, think about, for example, California is a sanctuary state. 155 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: I'm sure this will come up tonight. 156 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: And as a result, by the way, starting in I 157 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: believe January, medical is going to be available for every 158 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: single person in the state. That means every illegal immigrant, 159 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: but right now it's a sanctuary state. We have governors 160 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: all over the country, governor from New York, the mayor 161 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: of New York City, the governor of Illinois, and so 162 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: many other Blue states are very critical of Joe Biden's 163 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: open border policies because it's costing the states of fortune. 164 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: And again that's like an unfunded mandate, right absolutely. 165 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: And because they have more people in Congress that represent 166 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: their states, they go to DC and they asked the 167 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: federal government to bail them out all the time, and 168 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: they keep responding. So that's why you have to have 169 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 3: strong people in the White House, in the executive branch 170 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 3: that can shut down the nonsense and recognize the consequences 171 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 3: of these continuous bank rolling of liberal policies that's devastating 172 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: our way of life here exactly. 173 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: It really is now one issue that you have paid 174 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: attention to, and I've been paying a lot of attention to. 175 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: I actually think we are probably the two most outspoken 176 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: people in the country on this, and that is that 177 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: we are watching Chinese nationals in droves buying up thousands 178 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: and thousands and thousands of acres of our farmland, our ranchland, 179 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: and land near military installations. You were on TV last 180 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: night and I said, well, it'd be nice if I 181 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: could invest money in China, if I ever wanted to 182 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: and go over there and buy their farmland and land 183 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: near their military installations, which we know they would never 184 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: allow under any circumstances, Not that I would want it, 185 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: but the point is, why have we let them? 186 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 2: Isn't that a national security threat? 187 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 3: Yeah? Definitely is? It definitely is. And we've seen Chinese 188 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 3: companies come in and buy up our fertilizer and our 189 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 3: chemical companies, our seedcorn genetics. They're buying up our entire 190 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 3: food supply chain. But now what they're doing by their 191 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: dramatic increase, it's a fifty three hundred percent increase I'm 192 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: purchasing of American land from twenty ten to twenty twenty, 193 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: so ten years over five three hundred percent increase on 194 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: the amount of investment they've made in buying land. And 195 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 3: a lot of this land is strategically being purchased by 196 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 3: our national security interests, by our air force bases, our 197 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 3: NSA buildings, our areas that we have our top secrets, 198 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 3: and our operations and three letter agencies operating from. And 199 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 3: it's to gather information on US on how to destroy US. 200 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 3: So I sent Chairman Gallagher, who is the chairman of 201 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 3: the FLECT Committee on China, a letter encouraging him to 202 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 3: include his bill in the National Defense Authorization Act. I 203 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: know the Senate took some action, but his bill is 204 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 3: very strong. It would stop this kind of practice, not 205 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 3: allow these six foreign countries that our enemies, to purchase 206 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 3: up our land, and it would stop them from making 207 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 3: that kind of an investment that would devastate our national 208 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 3: security protections that we currently have. So it allows SIPHIUS 209 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 3: the ability to review these transactions, which if you remember, 210 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 3: previously they said they didn't have the authority to do. 211 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 3: And it also puts individuals on this Scifius committee that 212 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: have an agricultural background to really know if some of 213 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 3: these purchases are tied to true research and investment or 214 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 3: tied to the communists China and their party on what 215 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 3: they're doing as foreign adversaries as the government. 216 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: Let me ask you, I want to play for you 217 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 1: another Joe Biden quote. He was at this speech in 218 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: Colorado just the other day, and if you can decipher 219 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: this for US Governor, we'd really appreciate it. 220 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 2: We're looking for interpreters. 221 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 6: But I am friends with your leader of mister mood. 222 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 6: Join you a home. 223 00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 4: We're a good guy. 224 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 6: A rout of the wind turbine manufacturing Vistis is investing 225 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 6: forty million dollars to expands factory and hire an additional 226 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 6: one thousand employees. Solar manufacturer berg Meyer Berger is building 227 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 6: a new solar cell factory just down the road in 228 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 6: Colorado Springs instead of cutting them, or like Congressman Trump 229 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 6: and both were wanting to. 230 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 7: Do the political coverage. Look some of the political players 231 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 7: and some of the let me ask a retort the questions. 232 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: No anyway, I find I find it embarrassing. I feel 233 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: embarrassed for our country. What do you feel when you 234 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: hear that? And does that scare you? Because it's here? 235 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 4: Is me? 236 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 3: It does because it clearly tells me he's not in charge. 237 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 3: There's no way somebody who can't communicate a basic speech 238 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 3: can be making decisions. So somebody else is making the 239 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 3: decisions for him. He is in cognitive decline. I think 240 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 3: it's tragic, tragic that the people around him are continuing 241 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 3: to prop him up on a world stage in order 242 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 3: to keep power. But it is having devastating effects on 243 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: the strength of the United States of America. Every country 244 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: knows right now if this was a time, if this 245 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 3: was a time to take bold action against the United 246 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: States of America, you would certainly do it. When you 247 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 3: have someone in charge that can't even know keep their 248 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 3: thoughts together for more than an hour or two. 249 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: A day, unbelievable. 250 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: All right, quick break right back more with South Dakota 251 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: Governor Christinome.

But go you know this, you know the 259 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 2: thing humanity is on right now. 260 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: Probably continue now with South Dakota Governor Christy Noma's with us. 261 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, with all the intellectual property 262 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: theft and all of the unfair trade practices, and the 263 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: Chinese by balloon incident and confronting our air force and 264 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: international airspace, and confronting our navy and international waterways, and 265 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: confronting our ally Taiwan constantly and saber rattling. Why is 266 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden doing nothing to the Communist Chinese? I personally 267 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: have to won sor if it's tied to the millions 268 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: of dollars as family made from the Communist Chinese and 269 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: the CEFC energy conglomerate out of China, that's my thought. 270 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 2: What are yours? 271 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 3: But it's not just that, Sean. It is big business, 272 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 3: big banking. It is our investment portfolios are heavily invested 273 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 3: in China. I've been asking Vanguard to develop a product 274 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 3: that we could invest our state dollars and pension funds 275 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 3: into that would take China out of the Emerging Markets fund. 276 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 3: Just China is not an emerging market. It should be 277 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 3: in a completely different fund and give us the opportunity 278 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 3: to continue to deal in the in the stock market 279 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: and in investments without funding China. But that's not what 280 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 3: Vanguard is doing. We don't have the government taking action 281 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 3: on that. I actually got my congressman to introduce the 282 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: bill now in Congress. I think he did it today. 283 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: That is going to force us to divest out of 284 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 3: Chinese investment. We did that years ago on Iran and Sudan. 285 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: Congress did it. It gave us a state the ability 286 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 3: to completely divest out of these countries that hate us, 287 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 3: and that is exactly what we need to do now. 288 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 3: So I don't think it's just his family. I think 289 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 3: it is a lot of these entities that have put 290 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 3: all their eggs in China's asket, and they're worried financially 291 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 3: about their own pocket books and not about the safety 292 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 3: and security of the United States. 293 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.

Do you 474 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 4: want this country, the United States of America, to look 475 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 4: like California or do you want it to look like Florida? 476 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 4: And what I was telling Dana Perino earlier when we 477 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 4: were discussing the debate and everything that went on, I 478 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 4: just wish I could see this more, that it sets 479 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 4: some sort of precedent where I could have Glenn Youngkin 480 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 4: Republican Virginia governor taking on Gretcha Whitmer, Democrat Michigan, or 481 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 4: Brian Kemp Georgia Republican taking on JB. Pritzker over an 482 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 4: Illinois Democrat. Wouldn't it be great if this became a 483 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 4: regular thing, like town halls would become a regular thing. 484 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 4: But Davin Newsom, this is where I gets him credit. 485 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 4: He has the moxie and the ego and the confidence 486 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 4: to do a debate like this that almost no other 487 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 4: democratic governor would even think of doing because there don't 488 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 4: have the facts on their side. And that's what I 489 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 4: came away with. 490 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: Hi click break bore with Joe Concha on the other side. 491 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,959 Speaker 1: Eight hundred one one, Shawn our number this Friday. We'll 492 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: get to your calls as we continue straight ahead. Eight 493 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: hundred and nine to four one Shawn our number. And 494 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: now a word from the forty six President of the 495 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: United States were. 496 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 6: To Caesar or yes, the luxury homes and other will 497 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 6: be gotten? 498 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: Gaze of prudence. Ker Sean Hannity is on right now, 499 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: right as we continue, Joe Conscious with US spot's news 500 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: contributor and author of the bestseller Come On Man. The 501 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: way I approached this, Joe was very simple, and I 502 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: told each side how I would approach it. I wasn't 503 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: I was very transparent. I said, it's going to be 504 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,479 Speaker 1: the fundamentals. I want this to be about a debate 505 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: about the issues that impact the people in their respective states. 506 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 2: But it's but it's also every state. I think people 507 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 2: forget that. 508 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: You know, state laws, state regulations, you know, state policy, 509 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: local government, state government. It can have a much greater 510 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: impact on our day to day lives than anything that 511 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: happens in Washington, d C. 512 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 2: That that, to me, is why it was important. 513 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: Now, whether we were talking about COVID policy, or immigration policy, 514 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: or economic policy or taxation, you know, I can run 515 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: the gamut here every single one of those issues we 516 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 1: would we were delving into now I did. The amount 517 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: of work and fact checking that went into that debate 518 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: was so intense. I can't even describe it to you, 519 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: because I knew if I got one thing wrong, I'd 520 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: get hammered. The only thing I've gotten hammered on is 521 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: the fact that I brought up the truth. They're not 522 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: questioning the facts that I put on the screen because 523 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: I felt I had a duty to my audience as 524 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: always to get the facts right, and and we did. 525 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: And no one's complaining about that, you know, just hearing 526 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: some whining and complaining from people on the left, I 527 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,479 Speaker 1: think because maybe they didn't feel that the facts were 528 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: on Gavin's side. 529 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 4: And Gavin didn't exactly tell the truth throughout this debate. 530 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 4: I mean, he said, and I'm quoting here quote it's 531 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 4: a factual lie that the state of California has the 532 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 4: highest tax rates. It's like, well, no, you go by 533 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 4: the tax Foundation and it shows that California is among 534 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 4: the very highest in terms of taxation. In Florida's among 535 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 4: the lowest. Obviously, they don't have a state income tax, 536 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 4: so probably more people who want to live in a 537 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 4: state like that than California works thirteen point three percent. 538 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 4: So when he said that, I just kind of shook 539 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 4: my head and said, oh, my goodness. I mean, you 540 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 4: can't possibly believe that. But when he accused DeSantis of 541 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 4: being a quote lockdown governor and claimed that DeSantis kept 542 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 4: the state closed too long, I remember the media coverage 543 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 4: of DeSantis when he reopened beaches and businesses and he 544 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 4: was getting killed for it. There was literally a guy 545 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 4: walking around on cn dressed as a grim reaper accusing 546 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 4: the Santus of killing people for reopening businesses. Turns out 547 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 4: he was right. While California as recently as twenty twenty two, 548 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 4: just last year, still had a mass mandate in place 549 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 4: that Gavin Newsom did not follow with the French laundry 550 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 4: restaurant did not follow At the Super Bowl in Los Angeles. 551 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 4: So when he said those things again, data an argument 552 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 4: was on DeSantis's side, and obviously I think a lot 553 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 4: of people probably came away with this and said, yeah, 554 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 4: I'd rather my country resemble Florida a lot more than 555 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 4: California based on economy and crime and education. Immigration a 556 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,959 Speaker 4: big big component there as well, and all the other 557 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 4: things that were talked about. But it was focused on 558 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 4: policy and it wasn't the food fight that I think 559 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 4: some people were hoping for. Yeah, they got a little 560 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 4: personal at times, but it was certainly civilized, and I 561 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 4: commend both meant for that. 562 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: I look, I'm with you. I think that more of 563 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: this rather than less would be a good thing. Anything 564 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: that you saw that or maybe you wanted to see that, 565 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: you didn't see anything. 566 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 4: I didn't let me think about that. Anything I saw that, 567 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 4: I uh, anything I wanted to see that I didn't see. 568 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 4: All the topics were solid because you look at gallup 569 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 4: and what's most important to voters in terms of priorities, 570 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 4: and you covered the top seven. So I can't say 571 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 4: that didn't happen. I wish it could have gotten longer. 572 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 4: Quite frankly, I know it almost did. Really well, it's 573 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 4: did missus Newsom stopped the debate. I keep reading that, 574 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 4: but I I'm not I want to see if you 575 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 4: could confirm that or not. 576 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm only going to say somebody came in and was 577 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: very vocal. I don't know who it was. I didn't 578 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: see it. So I've read what you have read. 579 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 2: I listen. 580 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, lovely, lovely for you know, first person 581 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: I think they call her in California. I want to 582 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: get it right. I don't want to get I want 583 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: to I want to say it the right way. Oh God, 584 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I mean but whatever, She's a great mom, 585 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,959 Speaker 1: great person, wonderful family. 586 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 4: It was. 587 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting when Ron Desanta said, yeah, 588 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: you're you're in Your in laws lived with my state. 589 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: They left your state to live of mine and donated 590 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: to his campaign. 591 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 4: I'm like, whoa, Yeah, that was the thinger. The poop 592 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 4: map obviously was very telling given the homeless poverty situation 593 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 4: in San Francisco. So sometimes you walk away with debates 594 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 4: from debates, I should say, and you have one or 595 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 4: two lines that really stick out right, Obviously, Lloyd Benson 596 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 4: with Dan Quayle, you know you're you're no John f 597 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 4: Kennedy right, or obviously Reagan with with Mondale saying he's 598 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 4: not going to allow his opponent's age to dictate you 599 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 4: didn't experience, I believe was what he said, you know, 600 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,719 Speaker 4: decides what's going to happen. And obviously here I think 601 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 4: the poop map, certainly that's the image that you see 602 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 4: the most. But here's my fear, Sean that next year 603 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 4: we may not have any general election debates between the 604 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 4: GOP nominee who looks like it's going to be Trump 605 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 4: and Joe Biden, because the RNC is already saying we 606 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 4: don't want to do any debates that are handled by 607 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 4: the current Commission on Presidential Debates. And then I could 608 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 4: totally see Biden doing this that Trump is beneath him, 609 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 4: and it's beneath the presidency to allow Donald Trump to 610 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 4: have such as with Joe Biden, and I could see 611 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,959 Speaker 4: him backing out the same way Katie Hobbs backed out 612 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 4: against Kerry Lake. And that's my fear that debates are 613 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 4: going to become more of the exception than the norm, 614 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 4: and we can't have enough debates in this country. 615 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: In my opinion, I kind of agree with you, and 616 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: even in times that they get a little messy or 617 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: loud or interruptive if I let the people decide what 618 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: they want to see, but clearly there was interest in 619 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: it anyway. Joe, we always love having you. Joe Concha, 620 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: author bestseller Come On Man, Fox News contributor, Joe, thanks 621 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: for being with us. 622 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 2: Have a great weekend you too, sir, have a good one. 623 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine to four one Shawn our number if 624 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. 625 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 2: This is the best of the best.
