1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Oh, we have a primary challenger for one of our

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: worst senators.

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that tonight.

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: We got a little update on the old tariff war.

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: Sucks to be China right now. Our Democrats could be

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: charged with treason.

7
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: All that and more coming up.

8
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: And I'm right, okay, I have huge news that is

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: going to apply to everybody, not just people who live

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: in Texas. I'm sure you've heard, but last night Texas

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: Attorney General Ken Paxton formally announced that he is charging charging.

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: That's not what he's doing. He's challenging that guess his

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: ag he could be charging. He's challenging useless Texas Senator

14
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: John corn And here's the announcement.

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: I'm announcing that I'm running for US Senate against John Corner,

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 3: who apparently is running again for his fifth term, which

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 3: we put in their decades. It's definitely time for a

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 3: change in Texas. We have another great US Centator, Ted Cruz,

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: and it's time we have another great centator that will

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: actually stand up and fight for Republican values, fight for

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: the values of the people of Texas. Look, he said

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: twenty four years of this, which I think has plenty

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: given his lack of production it's hard to think of

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: the things that he's done good for Texas or for

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: the country. I can certainly point to many things like

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: his gun restrictions, his lack of wanting to fund a

27
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: border wall and disagree with President Trump on that, and

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: even opposing President Trump's election in twenty sixteen and the

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: most recent elections. So there's certainly many things to focus

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: on that he has not done, and I think it's

31
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: time that somebody held him account for that.

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Okay, first, this is majorly, majorly, majorly important for every

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: single person watching, and I'm going to explain why. Here

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: is how it has worked for the longest time. You

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: see right now, maybe you're frustrated with the lack of

36
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: action from Congress. Why can't we get something good out

37
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: of the House. Why can't we get something good out

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: of the Senate? Trump's been there, it's been three months.

39
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: Where are the good bills? Why are we not Where

40
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: are we not codifying this into law? Why is it

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: the House? Why is it the Senate doing anything? Why

42
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: don't they do anything? Okay, well, allow me to explain

43
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: why they don't do anything. They don't do anything because

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: the long serving establishment Republicans they're the ones that hold

45
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: the bulk of the power and the House and the Senate.

46
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: You see, if you've been there for.

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: A really long time, what you've done with that length

48
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: of time is you have managed to buy influence.

49
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: You have managed to.

50
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: Figure out the ways to suck up to the DC swamp.

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: And when you suck up to the DC swamp, what

52
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: happens is money comes pouring into your campaign will use.

53
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: Actually a perfect example of.

54
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: This would be the defense industry in this country, the

55
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: military industrial complex.

56
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: It's a perfect example of this.

57
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: If you're a Republican senator, you can look and find

58
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: all the waste and fraud in our defense sector, and

59
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: it's staggering, and you would think tackling that kind of

60
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: theft from the taxpayer would be a priority. But you

61
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: know what actually fills the campaign coffers. Sucking up to

62
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: the defense contractors. You pass another ridiculous trillion dollar defense

63
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: bill full of waste lo and behold Boeing raytheon. All

64
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: the defense contractors will write you large checks to keep

65
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: you in power. With those checks, your campaign coffers fill up.

66
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: You get to run for reelection every two years or

67
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: six years, depending on if you're the House in the

68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: House of the Senate, and what you do is you

69
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: take that large quantity of money that you've hoovered up

70
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: from the DC swamp and you flood the airwaves. Today

71
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: it would be more social media because that's where a

72
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: lot of the campaign advertising's done. But you turn on

73
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: the news at night and you see commercials about how conservative,

74
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: how right wing you are, all close up, I'll fight

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: for you. They're flooding YouTube everything with that. Now, they

76
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: don't do anything. In fact, they harm the country until

77
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: it's time to get re elected, where they spend millions

78
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: and millions and millions of dollars telling the brain dead

79
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: GOP primary voter how far to the right they are

80
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: and how much there's report President Trump. And that is

81
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: exactly how we haven't gotten anything done because we can't

82
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: get these people out of Washington, because the GOP primary

83
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: voter continues to elect the same losers over and over

84
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: and over again. We elect them, they go back to Washington.

85
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: They are the heads of these really important committees and

86
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: they stop any and all reform. They are there, John

87
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: Cornyn and his types, they are there to protect the swamp.

88
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: They wear a Republican label but that is their central role,

89
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: and they know that's their central role. They are the

90
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: ultimate in controlled opposition. Are you angry about the communism

91
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: that has flooded the United States of America. One of

92
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: the main reasons communism has flooded this country and more importantly,

93
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: this government, is because people like John Cornyn will stick

94
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: their foot in the door to keep it open enough

95
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: so the communists can get in. He is there to

96
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: ensure the enemy has access to destroy you, and he's

97
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: been successful at it for twenty four years now. That's

98
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: why we don't get anything done in the House. That's

99
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: why we don't get anything done in the Senate.

100
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: And so.

101
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: The reason they keep screwing us over we just kind

102
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: of talked about it. The reason Republicans like James Langford

103
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: will try to pass an amnesty bill, which he did

104
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: last year. The reason John Cornyan will pass a gun

105
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: control bill. He worked with Democrats to pass a gun

106
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: control bill after Uvalde. The reason he does that is

107
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 1: John Cornyn. Honestly, if you have to defend him, John

108
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: Cornyn gets it. He understands the game. He understands that

109
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: he can do these things, especially when it's not an

110
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: election year. It can screw you, screw me, screw over

111
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: the entire country.

112
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: Over and over and over again.

113
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: He'll raise enough money to lie about it when election

114
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: season rolls around.

115
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: That's how the game has worked.

116
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: John Cornyn has simply been playing the game that works

117
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: for a very long time. Screw over the voter for

118
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: five years. In year six, take your millions, Tell the

119
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: voter you're conservative.

120
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: The voter reelection. Now, how do we change that system?

121
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: Because I think you would agree no matter where you are,

122
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: we have to change that system. We have to change

123
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: the way things are done in order to save the country.

124
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: We can't stop communism if John Cornyn is still there

125
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: holding the door open for them, if Mitch McConnell was there,

126
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: if James Langford is there, if Tom Tillis is there,

127
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: if Bill Landry is there, if Mike Grounds is there,

128
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: If you get the idea, we can't stop the communists.

129
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: If these losers are still there, aiding and abetting them.

130
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: We have to start taking them out in primaries. You're

131
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: not going to take out John or in a general election,

132
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't want a Democrat in there any way.

133
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 2: The only way is to.

134
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: Replace these people in primaries and if we want the

135
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: others to straighten up, If we want John Thune to

136
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: stop being useless, cassidy. If we want him to stop

137
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: being useless, did I call him Landry whatever?

138
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: Cassidy. If we want him to stop being useless, Mike

139
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: rounds till us all of them.

140
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: If we want them to take their Red State Senate

141
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: seats and actually do Red State things with them, then

142
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: we have to make an example of somebody.

143
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: Do you know what decimation is? You ever heard that

144
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: term decimation?

145
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: A lot of people falsely believe that decimation means.

146
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: Everybody is wiped out. That's not true.

147
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: Actually, the term decimation comes from Latin, and the term

148
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: came from the Roman Army. You see, and when a

149
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: Roman Army unit showed cowardice or failed terribly on the

150
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: field of battle, they would draw straws, for lack of

151
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: a better way to put it, And what would happened

152
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: was they would take ten men, and one of them

153
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: only one, the guy who got the short straw, he

154
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: would be beaten to death by the other nine men

155
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: in his unit. Why that's awful, isn't it. Why though, Well,

156
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: you only got to make an example of one or

157
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: two guys and the rest of them realize, you're dead,

158
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: dead serious.

159
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: If Texas, if the.

160
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: GOP primary voter of Texas, and yes there will be

161
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: ways nationally you can contribute, But if the GOP primary

162
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: voter of Texas is successful in taking out a useless

163
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: loser like John Cornyn in a primary, it will send

164
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: a message to the Mike Rounds of the world, hey,

165
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: be really, really, really careful, because we'll come for you next.

166
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: John coynn responded, Here's what he said.

167
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: Do you have any level of concern about Paxton running

168
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: to the right of you in his primary?

169
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 5: Well, the biggest potential loser is President Trump's agenda. I've

170
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 5: been a supporter of the President during his first term

171
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 5: of office and that's continued during his current term. Mister

172
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 5: Paxton has a checkered background. He is a con man

173
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 5: and a fraud and I think the people of Texas.

174
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 6: Know that.

175
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: What you just heard was a poll tested response from

176
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: John Cornyn and get ready for a lot of it.

177
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: Right now, Ken Paxton is pulling comfortably ahead of John

178
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: Cornyn in a primary.

179
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: That's good news.

180
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: The bad news is this, John Cornyn has a strategy here,

181
00:09:53,640 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: a strategy that it might work The strategy is this

182
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: Operation Trump Suck Up. That's what it is. He's already

183
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: running ads out there. Look at what a big supporter

184
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: of Trump is. Me and Trump, Trump and me, Me

185
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: and Trump, Trump and me. That'll be the theme of

186
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: the corning campaign. I love Trump, Trump's my best friend.

187
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: I love Trump Trump this and Trump that, and that

188
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: brings us to our risk here. You've heard me rant

189
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: about it before. Donald Trump is very good at a

190
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: lot of things. In fact, we're going to talk about

191
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: the tariff stuff from China today.

192
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: We'll talk about the good for sure.

193
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: But if you had to point out a flaw, Donald

194
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: Trump is the worst selector of who to endorse in

195
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: a primary I think I've ever seen in my entire life.

196
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: It's just terrible at it.

197
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: When it comes to internal GOP politics, he will try

198
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: to primary Chip Roy and Thomas Massey and the next

199
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: day he will endorse Lindsey Graham. He's just really, really

200
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: bad at GOP politics. And as we speak the rumor

201
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: Mill in DC, he says that Senate Leader John Thune

202
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: is working very very hard lobbying Donald Trump to endorse

203
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: John Cornyn. We have an opportunity here to take out

204
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: a rhino to do something really important for the entire

205
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: United States of America. Let's cross our fingers. Trump doesn't

206
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: torpedo our efforts. All that may have made you uncomfortable,

207
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: but I am right. We have a huge show for

208
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: you here. We'll talk to Julio Ross about the border

209
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: and other things. Before we get to Julio, I'm going

210
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: to talk to you about national crisis that doesn't involve

211
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: John Cornyan but clearly has affected him.

212
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: Low tee.

213
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: You see, testosterone levels are down fifty percent in this

214
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: country in fifty years. We have lost half of our

215
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: testosterone in fifty years. We can't survive that way. I

216
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: don't care how many primaries we win, how care how

217
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: many people we deport.

218
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: We can't survive that way.

219
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: Chalk is here to turn it around naturally with natural

228
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 6: Media.

229
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 7: I just wanted to ask you how it feels to

230
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 7: see that the United States has a secure border now

231
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 7: that President Trump is an office as opposed to when

232
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 7: you were Secretary of Homeland Security.

233
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 8: Do you have any regret facilitating and open border, sir?

234
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 8: Water crossings are down? Do you regret allowing the nanda

235
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 8: and I'll go into gang a football in the United States, Sir.

236
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 8: You don't have anything to say, sir by your time

237
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 8: as Homeland Security secretary facilitating an open border.

238
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: You know what makes me so angry about that clip?

239
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's just I could feel my blood pressure rising

240
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: as we bring in Julio Rossaus, national correspondent with the Blaze.

241
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 2: What drives me crazy is.

242
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: They were walking by yet another restaurant that was being

243
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,599
Speaker 1: built in the airport. Are there any of these restaurants

244
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: that are actually open or is every single airport in

245
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: the country building a good restaurant that you.

246
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: Can't eat and drink at yet? Juli'll talk about that.

247
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 4: Well, thankfully, because since I travel so much, I use

248
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 4: the Centurion Lounge or whenever that's available to me.

249
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: So I'll let you.

250
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 6: I'll let you deal with those restaurants.

251
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Tommy Topper, I didn't realize that's what we were

252
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: going to do today, Julio. Some of us don't have

253
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: access to the Centurion Lounge. Okay, I don't even know

254
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: what that is, but it sounds Roman. What was it like, though,

255
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: speaking to the former head of DAHS, the man who

256
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: facilitated the barbarian invasion of the country that you and

257
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: I love so much.

258
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 4: I mean, it was weird just because obviously this is

259
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: a man that I had paid a lot of attention into. Obviously,

260
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 4: you know, during the entire Biden Harris administration. The last

261
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: time I was able to ask him a question was

262
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: during the Haitian Bridge crisis in Del Rio, Texas, and that.

263
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 6: Was all the way back in twenty twenty one.

264
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 4: He obviously, he as you imagine, he wasn't too happy

265
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 4: with my question even back then, and so it was

266
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 4: it was it was just weird just because I wasn't

267
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: expecting to see him when I was traveling to Washington, DC,

268
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 4: and once I realized that, oh he's here and I

269
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: can actually, finally, after all this time, ask him stuff.

270
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 4: So I I obviously wanted to say a lot of things,

271
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 4: but to remain professional, I wanted to, you know, make

272
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: sure I asked the right questions.

273
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 6: I understand there's a lot of things that I, you know,

274
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 6: thinking back on.

275
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: It, which I wish I could have also asked, although

276
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 4: obviously I'm sure that his answer would have remained the same,

277
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 4: which is which was obviously nothing.

278
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 6: But it's it's it's just another reminder that, yeah, this

279
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 6: guy did this for four years. He stayed the entire time.

280
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: You know, people could say, well, maybe he was trying

281
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 4: to fight it on the inside and you know, maybe

282
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: not have just disagree with it.

283
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 6: He's like, well, okay, that's fine. But then he could

284
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 6: have left.

285
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: He could have quit, He could have said that this

286
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 4: isn't working, but he but he didn't. He made his

287
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 4: choice to stay and continue to follow the orders from

288
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 4: the White House to open our borders, allow this invasion,

289
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 4: and you'll come hell or high water.

290
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 6: And so I understand people have a lot of questions

291
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 6: as to why he's not in jail. That's another that's.

292
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 4: Another fair question, and that's something that I hope the

293
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 4: Trump administration at least addresses at some point in the

294
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 4: near future, because the damage that this man did to

295
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 4: our country is profound, it's long lasting, and it's creating

296
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 4: all these problems right now that the trumpministration is having

297
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: to clean up.

298
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 6: And as we can.

299
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 4: Probably guess, it's probably all not going to be entirely

300
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 4: solved at the end of President Trump's second term.

301
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: No, of course it won't.

302
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: You're not removing twenty million people in four years. It's

303
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: easier to bring them in and get them out. It's

304
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: just not possible. And I honestly, I'm glad you brought

305
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: up the evil the trees and this nature of it, Julio,

306
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: because I just can't get it out of my mind

307
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: how inherently evil all this was. These people created an

308
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: app to facilitate, not to allow, to facilitate the invasion

309
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: of our country. People forget our taxpayer dollars, created an

310
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: app for foreigners to come into the country.

311
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: It's just so bonkers, it doesn't seem real.

312
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 4: And the whole reason why they did that is because

313
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 4: the optics of thousands of people crossing the border every

314
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: illegally was tanking the numbers, and so they said, well,

315
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 4: we have to do something.

316
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 6: It's like, well, if we abuse the parole authority that

317
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 6: we have, and we can, and we'll let this let

318
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 6: them in.

319
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 4: You know, day by day through this app that that

320
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 4: will make things better for us politically, and of course

321
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 4: that's not Thankfully people didn't buy that lie, right, people

322
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 4: didn't buy this. Well, everything's fine now because there's CVP one,

323
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 4: because then we got cases. In some ways, it's even

324
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: worse because now we got cases of where they're supposedly

325
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 4: being you know, checked out with their background and criminal history,

326
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 4: and okay, they're good to go, and they just purposefully

327
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 4: released these people who want on to commit perfect crimes.

328
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 6: So and it's all through the APP, right, And so

329
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 6: I it's it is very angry.

330
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 4: I mean, it's I've been feeling better about it. I

331
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: mean I just come back from all pass so recently.

332
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 4: Obviously nothing is happening there these days compared to four

333
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: years ago or you know, during those four years, but

334
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 4: just because that it's finally over and things are now

335
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 4: going in the.

336
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 6: Right direction, Like I said, people need to be held

337
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 6: accountable for it.

338
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 4: And I it's unfortunate that the default, the expected response

339
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 4: is like, well, they're probably not going to get away,

340
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 4: you know, they're probably probably nothing's going to happen to them.

341
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 4: And and yeah, I mean he's just walking freely through

342
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 4: the airport with what I presume to be his wife,

343
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: and and they're just going about their day as if

344
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 4: nothing happened.

345
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 6: And so even though yes, I.

346
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 4: Know, I I guess that he wasn't going to answer

347
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 4: my questions, he wasn't going to like my.

348
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 6: Questions, it's just to at least it was to.

349
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 4: Tell him, hey, people don't forget you know, there's still

350
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 4: there's still people out here that still you know, want

351
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 4: answers from you because you were a big part of this.

352
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, if if another opportunity arises to

353
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 4: question him again, obviously I'm more than happy to do that.

354
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 6: But it's just it's just it was. It was.

355
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 4: It was a very profound moment, just for me personally,

356
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 4: just because I spent so much time at the border.

357
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 4: I've seen I've been tracking it and seen it, and

358
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 4: so to finally you have two minutes, right to to

359
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: to just hit him with questions and and to you know,

360
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 4: have his non response sink in.

361
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 6: It was I mean, admittedly it was satisfying.

362
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 4: It was really satisfying for me, even though it wasn't

363
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 4: obviously well we want it necessarily.

364
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wellio, how were things in old Passo at the border.

365
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know what l Passo means,

366
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: the pass in Mexican.

367
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: What was it like down there?

368
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: The Border Patrol agent that I was with, we were

369
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 4: the it was early morning, the sun was rising, and

370
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 4: he said something that I I hadn't.

371
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 6: Thought of in a while, which was it was very peaceful.

372
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 4: It was actually peaceful, right, and you just had you

373
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 4: just had the chickens in the neighboring Mexican border town

374
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 4: that we were just just you know, they're they're, they're.

375
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 6: They're the only noise being made.

376
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 4: But it was crazy, right, I mean, that was the

377
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 4: first time I was able to actually do anything with

378
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 4: Border Patrol October of twenty twenty Ina in the old

379
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 4: Passo sector.

380
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 6: That's all.

381
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 4: That was the last time I was able to do

382
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 4: anything with them in any official capacity because obviously, once

383
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 4: things got out of control, the Biden DHS didn't want

384
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 4: media to be with the Border Patrol to actually see

385
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 4: the first time what was happening. So we had to

386
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 4: go through Texas DPS, we had to go through the

387
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 4: Border Patrol Union, we had to find all these different

388
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 4: we had to go into Mexico, uh.

389
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 6: To to to see things front from that side, right,

390
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 6: and that obviously has.

391
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 4: Its own dangers, but but we did it because we

392
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: couldn't go through the official United States Border patrol. So

393
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 4: I'm thankful that the Trump administration has opened access back

394
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 4: up again to that. But of course now now things

395
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 4: are over and the store, the story itself isn't over right,

396
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 4: and there there there there is always going to be problems.

397
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 6: At our border.

398
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 4: But it is just I mean, it's it's a night

399
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 4: and day difference, right and and and we know that.

400
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 4: But to see that finally, when you know Al Passo,

401
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 4: you know they had the bum.

402
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 6: Rush at one of the bridges.

403
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 4: That was where Venezuelan's uh stormed and and attacked that

404
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 4: you the National guardsmen, it's where they had those street

405
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 4: releases in the middle of winter because they couldn't Borderchol

406
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 4: couldn't hold anybody, so they had to release them out

407
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 4: into the street.

408
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 6: And they're homeless.

409
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 4: So the El Passo has been through a lot, along

410
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 4: with obviously the rest of the rest of the border.

411
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 4: So to see just things actually normal and things how

412
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 4: they are actually supposed to be with a secure border. Again,

413
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 4: it was weird. It was it was weird, but it

414
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 4: was good to know that at least for now. This

415
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 4: is this is how things are going to be. And

416
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 4: I can tell you that the majority Latino residents along

417
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 4: the border are very very happy that things are finally

418
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: you know, there's not a border crisis on their backyard anymore.

419
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: But they are Oh they are seper five. Brother, Thank you.

420
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk tariffs with Dave Bratt. Let me

421
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: talk to you about sleeping well every night, sleeping like

422
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: a little beauty baby. You want to sleep like that

423
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: every night. You know you can do that without pills.

424
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: That's what we do. We go to the doctor. Hey,

425
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: can you prescribe something? I can't sleep? Or we'll just

426
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: go to the pharmacy and get something over the counter.

427
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: There's a old look, there's a whole section. This will

428
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: help you sleep. And all that stuff will help you sleep,

429
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: and all that stuff has the same thing in common.

430
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: You feel like crap and you wake up. It's true,

431
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: you know it's true. You wake up, you don't feel rested,

432
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: you feel groggy and miserable. Dream powder from beam you

433
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: feel good because it's natural. It has natural things in it,

434
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: all these natural ingredients, ray sheet and.

435
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: All this other stuff.

436
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: You drift off to sleep, but you wake up and

437
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: you feel good, ready to go go sleep like that

438
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: every night with a cup of hot chocolate Shotbeam dot

439
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: com slash Jesse Kelly, We'll.

440
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 2: Be back, Maria.

441
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 9: I think that's unfortunate that the ch actually don't want

442
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 9: to come and negotiate because they are the worst defenders

443
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 9: in the international trading system. They have the most imbalanced

444
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 9: economy in the history of the modern world. And I

445
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 9: can tell you that this escalation is a loser for them.

446
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 9: That they have some very smart the economists, the academicians,

447
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 9: technocrats within their bureaucracy, and they would be telling the

448
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 9: leadership that we do not have the edge here. They

449
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 9: are the surplus country that they're exports to the US

450
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 9: are five times our exports to China, so they can

451
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 9: raise their terrorists.

452
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: But so what, Well, it looks.

453
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: Like the Trump administration was dead serious about China.

454
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't help but wonder if.

455
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: This wasn't all about China all the time. Given the

456
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: new announcement today joining me now to talk about it.

457
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: Former Congressmen and currently Senior Vice President of Business Engagement.

458
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: At Liberty University, Dave Brett.

459
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: Dave Trump administration just slapped a big one twenty five

460
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: percent on China and told everyone else, Ah, you're getting

461
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: ninety days off.

462
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: What's going on here?

463
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 10: Well, I think, seriously, what's going on is he's trying

464
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 10: to bring the era of globalism to an end. That's

465
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 10: seriously what I think is going on. Tariffs is part

466
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 10: of that story. This was an ingenious move, right, you know,

467
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 10: who knows what's pre planned, But the rest of the

468
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 10: world does appear willing to negotiate. And it's not just

469
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 10: on tariff's right. Tariff's probably about one third of the story,

470
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 10: and two thirds is non tariff barriers, and the American

471
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 10: people have not been educated on that. On the dumping

472
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 10: and the federal government subsidies, in the stealing and cheating

473
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 10: on intellectual property and manipulating the currency, all of those

474
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 10: pieces are used, and they have been ripping us off

475
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 10: for the past forty years.

476
00:24:59,280 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: Right.

477
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 10: For a while, we were willing to let that go. Right,

478
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 10: We set up the Bretton Woods Liberal Order after World

479
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 10: War Two, and we encourage that because we wanted everybody

480
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 10: to be on our side against Russia. But now China

481
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 10: is posing a serious existential threat, and so I this

482
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 10: latest news, right, now is just cornered. China isolated them.

483
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 10: We're decoupling from them. It's hurt the hedge funds more.

484
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 10: My only concern is for the you know, the grandparents

485
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 10: out there and the senior folks. I hope they're not

486
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 10: selling off right. Just just get with a financial advisor

487
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 10: and make sure you're doing something that's stable over the

488
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 10: long term.

489
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: Okay, that actually brings me perfectly to something. Kevin O'Leary,

490
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: This clip's making arounds. Here's what he said on the news.

491
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 11: One hundred and four percent tariffs and China are not enough.

492
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 11: I'm advocating four hundred percent. I do business in China.

493
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 11: They don't play by the rules. They've been in the

494
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 11: WHO for decades. They have never abided by any of

495
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 11: the rules they agreed to when they came in for decades.

496
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 11: They cheat, they steal, they steal ip I can't litigate

497
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 11: in their courts. They take product, technology, they steal it,

498
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 11: they manufacture.

499
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: It and sell it back.

500
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 11: Here never has an administraty. I want she on an

501
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 11: airplane to Washington to level the playing field. It is

502
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 11: not about tariffs anymore. Four hundred percent tariffs. Tomorrow morning,

503
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 11: he'll tell you why she can only stay the supreme

504
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 11: leader if people are employed, if we wipe out any

505
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 11: business there. Because we are still thirty nine percent of

506
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 11: all consumables on Earth and twenty five percent of the

507
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 11: world's GDP. America is the number one economy on Earth.

508
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 11: With all the cards, we will not have that forever.

509
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 11: It's time to squeeze Chinese heads into the wall now.

510
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: Dave, do we have all the cards? That seems like

511
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: an over sell.

512
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 10: No, I not by much. With China, we hold all

513
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 10: of cards. As Besent said, right their trade, you know,

514
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 10: it's half their GDP. Our imports as a percentage of

515
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 10: GDP in the US are only fourteen percent. So we

516
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,239
Speaker 10: can afford to play cards with China. Maybe not the

517
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 10: whole world immediate. But what's striking as no one else

518
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 10: is saying this right the Wall Street Journal, the Economist magazine,

519
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 10: JP Morgan, Jamie Diamond, Where are they? Where's the house?

520
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 10: Where's the Senate? On these issues? They're all trading quarterly

521
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 10: profits up to the last minute. China is doing five

522
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 10: trillion dollars worth of manufacturing a year. The US is

523
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 10: doing half of that two and a half trillion. China

524
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 10: has one hundred trillion dollar capital stock to work with.

525
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 10: We only have seventy trillion. Productivity in this country has

526
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 10: been falling for seventy years in a row, according to

527
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 10: the world expert at Northwestern University Bob Gordon. That's why

528
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 10: CBO and the Federal Reserve has growing at two percent

529
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 10: for the next thirty years. Where's the plan. Who's got

530
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 10: an alternative plan? So Trump's got a plan. It looks

531
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 10: like it's starting to work. We got, you know, one

532
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 10: hundred billion coming in from Taiwan chips, five hundred billion

533
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 10: from Apple, reshoring from other Asian supply chains, and example

534
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 10: after example already right before things have even kicked in.

535
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 10: And so I think it's the right move. Any move

536
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 10: doing anything gets you know, all the status quo and

537
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 10: all the money makers upset. But this is the right

538
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 10: thing for the American people. We've forgotten about Detroit and

539
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 10: all the cities that have been gutted. People are talking

540
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 10: about higher import prices. I'm more concerned about the people.

541
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 10: Five million manufacturing jobs that have been lost. Where we've

542
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 10: lost the families have lost their income, the surrounding service

543
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 10: jobs have lost their core industries. It's in Lynchburg Virginia.

544
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 10: It's in Detroit where I was born. You don't need

545
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 10: to go far. And that's my main concern is we

546
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 10: got to get America working with capital again. China's been

547
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 10: working with capital. They somehow grew at ten percent GDP

548
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 10: for a decade with a huge tariff and cheating regime. Right,

549
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 10: where are the experts on that? Where are free trade buddies?

550
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 6: Right?

551
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 10: They've all been so wrong and no analysis on this,

552
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 10: And it's time for us to get a fair level

553
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 10: playing field. And Trump's doing it. He's the only one

554
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 10: that's doing.

555
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: It, Dave.

556
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: He announced that there's a ninety day pause on all

557
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: the other countries. Hey, China's the one that wanted to escalate,

558
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: then we're going to escalate everyone else. You get three

559
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: months off. So what is his goal for those countries?

560
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: I know Donald Trump is a fair trader, protectionist, whatever

561
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: label we want to put on it. He's been that

562
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: way for decades. So obviously he believes in tariffs. He

563
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: believes in them outright. Is this ninety day pause just

564
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: a ninety day pause or is he going to maybe

565
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: maybe sweeten the pot for them to go after China?

566
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: What do you think?

567
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 10: My guess that's ninety days for the rest of the

568
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 10: countries to sharpen their pencils and come back with that

569
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 10: whole host of responses, not just on tariffs. Right Europe,

570
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 10: vander Ursula, vander Leyden came back, So we're going to

571
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 10: zero tariffs on manufacture. No, no, no, no, they got

572
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 10: the bat They got all sorts of import controls. The

573
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 10: car flows from Germany and the US are bizarre, the

574
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 10: flows on agriculture of bizarre. Trump's giving them, you know,

575
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 10: a little pause, go do your homework, come back with

576
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 10: fair proposal for US where you get rid of the

577
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 10: cheating and the government subsidies, the low cost prior to this.

578
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: Right.

579
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 10: The Also, the important point is the economic experts, supposedly

580
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 10: we're saying the only response to this is we have

581
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,239
Speaker 10: to just grow our monopolies in our oligarchs. Right. The

582
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 10: only way is to grow massive firms so that we

583
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 10: can generate low costs to compete with China.

584
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 6: No.

585
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 10: I don't want that world either. That is not the

586
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 10: world of Adam Smith and James Madison. We want a

587
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 10: lot of small firms duking it out. Small factions from

588
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 10: Madison in the constitutionals rock these were geniuses that we're

589
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 10: looking out for America. For this country. The CEOs or

590
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 10: the Fortune five hundred unfortunately have not been looking out

591
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 10: for the country's best interest. And so this is a

592
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 10: classic fight between Main Street and Wall Street. And Trump's

593
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 10: the only person in recent history that's really put up

594
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 10: a fight for the American people. So I'm I couldn't

595
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 10: be more thankful.

596
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: What's going on with the Panama Canal, Dave, Pete Hagsath

597
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: was down there with some strong words who he was.

598
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 10: I want to be very clear.

599
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 12: China did not build this canal. China does not operate

600
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 12: this canal, and China will not weaponize this canal.

601
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 10: Together, with Panama.

602
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 12: In the lead, we will keep the canal secure and

603
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 12: available for all nations through the deterrent power of the strongest,

604
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 12: most effective, and most lethal fighting force in the world.

605
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 6: We will do this in.

606
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 12: Partnership with Panama. Together, we will take back the Panama

607
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 12: Canal from China's influence.

608
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: Dave, take it back from what did China do with

609
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: the canal?

610
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 10: Well, they're encroaching everywhere, right on every island chain there

611
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 10: is all around the world. They're building up artificial islands there.

612
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 10: They've been gently taking control of land and territory and

613
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 10: property rights claims around the canal. We our original contract

614
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 10: with what was with Panama had certain conditions attached to

615
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 10: Some of those conditions have been violated, and so I

616
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 10: think Hegsath is just laying down the law. Our national

617
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 10: security and our economic security will not be compromised by China. Right,

618
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 10: And you know, so everyone's you know, the left, it's

619
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 10: just astounding of the moral equivalency. So they'll say, well,

620
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 10: then you've got to give Taiwan to China along the

621
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 10: same lines. No, the moral equivalence he has to do

622
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 10: with freedom and liberty. Right, the Chinese are oppressing their people,

623
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 10: they have slave labor, so they're not entitled to the

624
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 10: same rights of taking over Taiwan. For hemispheric reasons. We

625
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 10: are not attacking any Asian country up there. We in fact,

626
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 10: we've paid the entire bill for the post World War

627
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 10: II liberal Bretonwood's Order. It was called we provided our defense.

628
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 10: We're in the Red Sea of protecting European trading lanes.

629
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 10: I think we only do four or five percent of

630
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 10: the trade through the Red Sea and through the ports

631
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 10: up there. We're paying the entire bill for Europe, and

632
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 10: so Trump's sick of it and same here. Right, we

633
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 10: put this thing into place and it's a US asset

634
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 10: and he wants to keep it that way.

635
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: Dave, my brother, come back soon. I appreciate you as always.

636
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: All right, Selena Zito wants to talk about the russ belt.

637
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: Talk to her.

638
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: Before we talked to Selena, let me talk to you

639
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: about all this hire American, American first stuff. A lot

640
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: of companies, a lot they licked their finger and they

641
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: stuck it in the air, and now there are a

642
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: lot of companies.

643
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: Talking about that. Now, Hey, we're going to make our

644
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: chips here.

645
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: Pure Talk didn't need Donald Trump to get elected to

646
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: hire Americans. They didn't need public sentiment to change. Pure

647
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: Talk's been hiring Americans for a long long time. Pure

648
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: Talks CEO walked the jungles of Vietnam, two tours for

649
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: this country. They're customer service people. It was the most

650
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 1: amazing thing when we switched from T Mobile to Pure Talk.

651
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: Not only did our bill get cut in half. I

652
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: remember it like yesterday. Talking to customer service people sounded

653
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: like Americans who spoke English. Pure Talk hires Americans so

654
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: pleasant to deal with you want to switch your cell

655
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: phone service to a company like that, Pure talk dot

656
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: com slash jessetv.

657
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:03,959
Speaker 2: We'll be back.

658
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: Well, we talk about the economies, economics, tariffs, taxes, that

659
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: we talk about all these things, and I've always tried

660
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: to be wary of talking about them from just the

661
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: thirty thousand foot view. What this means for macroeconomics, not

662
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: that that's not unimportant, but what does it mean on

663
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: the ground for people. Somebody who's really, really, really good

664
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: at this is probably the best in the country at

665
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: this is Selena Zito selenazito dot com. By the way,

666
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: she has a free newsletter. I should point out wonderful

667
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: author writers, Selena Zito. She's always talking about these things. Selena,

668
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: I have in my possession. You and I have talked

669
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,959
Speaker 1: about this before. From my childhood in Ohio a little

670
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: penknife my father gave me God rest his soul, and

671
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: on that pen knife it says weird and steel. That

672
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: was the kind of family we were. We're in steel today.

673
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 6: Let's go.

674
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 13: I mean, actually, what makes it so sad is it's

675
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 13: still standing there. It's just and if you have any

676
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 13: images left in your memory, it is this big as

677
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 13: President Trumble. It's in this big, beautiful plant. It's massive,

678
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 13: it's miles along the river, and it fed and made

679
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 13: lives prosper for one hundred years in that valley, in

680
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 13: the Ohio Valley, and it's now as of last week,

681
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 13: as of last year, it's gone. There was an economic

682
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 13: trade agreement in the Biden administration that killed them on tariffs,

683
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 13: and so you know, that was the end of it.

684
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 13: And just for perspective, it wasn't just the largest employer

685
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 13: in the region, it was the largest private employer in

686
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 13: the entire state of West Virginia.

687
00:36:58,880 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 2: Selena.

688
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: People don't really take that into account, and it's understandable.

689
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 2: Everyone has a different lot in life, a different perspective.

690
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: But when I was a child, everybody I lived in Toronto, Ohio,

691
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: everybody worked for the plant or something plant adjacent. If

692
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: you didn't work at the plant, you worked in a

693
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: diner that served breakfast to the guys who worked at

694
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: the plant.

695
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 2: The plant was the town.

696
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: What did people like Joe Biden do to destroy the plant?

697
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 13: Well, it's been years and years of bad economic decisions,

698
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 13: bad trade deals, lots of tariffs that have made the

699
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 13: industry in our country non competitive. Even though we make

700
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 13: the best deal in the country, it is as cheap,

701
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 13: it is not as cheap as what you get from

702
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 13: other countries, in particular China. China is basically the bad

703
00:37:55,040 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 13: guy in this, and their steel is also inferior. People

704
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 13: read the story that I wrote. There is, as you said,

705
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:09,959
Speaker 13: an adjacent industry that uses US steel. But if US

706
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 13: steel goes away, he is left with very few options

707
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 13: to purchase steel for the military vehicles that he makes.

708
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 13: And because the Chinese steal is just bad, it's just

709
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 13: not good, and he's not going to put our military

710
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 13: and inferior products.

711
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 2: Why is Chinese steel bad?

712
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 13: It's just made cheaply, it's not made well. They don't

713
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 13: have the same work ethos there that they have here.

714
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 13: They don't you have the same access to the kinds

715
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 13: of minerals, I mean very mineral mineral rich in West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana,

716
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 13: the place in Michigan, places where steel thrived. It's the

717
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 13: best of the best in terms of making the product,

718
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 13: but also the workers are the best of the best.

719
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 13: I mean, read that story. Those guys take this incredibly seriously.

720
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 13: It's not a job. There are artisans, and it is

721
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 13: a calling, and they don't think they're doing something that's

722
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 13: good for them. They think they're doing something they believe

723
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 13: they're doing something that makes all American lives better, safer,

724
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 13: and it is part of being something bigger than self.

725
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 13: They almost look at it as very patriotic.

726
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: You're, of course referencing wonderful article you wrote. Sent it

727
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: to me from West Mifflin, Pennsylvania.

728
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: Tell me about it.

729
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 13: West Mifflin, Pennsylvania is in the Man Valley. There are

730
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 13: three US Steel plants there. There is the Urban Works

731
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 13: which that I was in with the You see the

732
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 13: beautiful photos of the rolling mill. There's although so that

733
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 13: Edgar Thompson works in Braddock and the Clareton Works. Only

734
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 13: only coke coke makers in the entire country. You neat

735
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 13: coke to make steel, and they are all in jeopardy

736
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 13: with the sale of new US Steel to Nipon. Now,

737
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 13: initially these workers didn't really care for the idea of

738
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 13: being sold to a Japanese company. You have to remember,

739
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 13: US Steel is the first billion dollar company in the world.

740
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 13: It was the largest company in the country when it

741
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 13: was founded in nineteen oh two. And so the idea

742
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 13: of US Steel being Nipon Steels, Like, wait a minute, right, Japan,

743
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 13: those are the guys that were dumping steel in the

744
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 13: seventies and so but after talking to the executives at Nipon,

745
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 13: after meeting with them, you know, hundreds and hundreds of

746
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 13: times since December or twenty twenty three, the local steel

747
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 13: Workers Local two two two seven are on board with

748
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 13: this sale. There is because they're going to invest in

749
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 13: the rolling mill that you're showing. It's eighty six years old.

750
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 13: It was so awesome to be there and see it

751
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 13: and see it function and work, to watch these guys work.

752
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 13: But it needs billion dollar refitting to be redone, and

753
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 13: Nippon has has offered i think up to seven billion dollars.

754
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 13: They have offered to keep the name US Steel and

755
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 13: the headquarters still in Pittsburgh. Now, the only two people

756
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 13: that were against it last year was the head of

757
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 13: their union, the United steel Workers International, which is based

758
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 13: in Cleveland, and Joe Biden. Donald Trump was not as

759
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 13: sort of vocal about not doing the deal. You know,

760
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 13: with him, there's always sort of a nuance. And he

761
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 13: has been meeting since February with the Prime Minister of Japan,

762
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 13: the head of Nippon the ahead of US Steel and

763
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 13: the local steel workers to get a deal done. I

764
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 13: expect we will see one not too distant future.

765
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: Parther and Trump also talked yesterday about coal.

766
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 14: Here he was for four long years, Joe Biden and

767
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 14: Congressional Democrats tried to abolish the American coal industry. They

768
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 14: did everything in their power while he was awake, which

769
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 14: wasn't much, shutting down dozens of coal plants, banning call

770
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 14: leases on federal lands, and putting thousands and thousands of

771
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 14: coal miners out of work.

772
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 15: The first of these executive orders is it may be

773
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 15: one of the most significant executive orders of your administration

774
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 15: thus far. This directs all departments and agencies of the

775
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 15: federal government to end all discriminatory, discriminatory policies against the

776
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 15: coal industry. This ends the leasing moratorium that prevents new

777
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 15: coal projects on federal land, and it's going to clerate

778
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 15: all permitting and funding for new coal projects to allow

779
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 15: the coal industry to flourish under your leadership.

780
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 5: Sir, that's great, Thank you.

781
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 2: So, Lena. That probably matters for the rustbelt a little bit.

782
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 13: It matters a lot. I've been in a couple dozen

783
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 13: coal mines. Coal mine is not what you think it is.

784
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 13: It's not a guy with a pick, you know, crawling underground.

785
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 13: It's a very technology driven industry. It's a very clean industry.

786
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 13: The industry has changed dramatically in the past fifteen years.

787
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 13: That was another one of my great thrills as a reporter,

788
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 13: to be able to go down into the coal mine,

789
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 13: ride the man car out the to the coal wall.

790
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 13: It only takes a couple hours to go from that

791
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 13: coal wall up to processing, onto a short line railroad,

792
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 13: onto a barge, into a coal fired power plant and

793
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 13: lighting up your house. And we need an abundance of

794
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 13: energy we are now. You know, it was the arms

795
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 13: race when we were when I was young. Today it's

796
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 13: the race for AI dominance. Those AI powered data centers

797
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 13: desperately need electricity, and a lot of it. They're not

798
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 13: going to be able to get it from solar or wind.

799
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 13: They're going to get it from three entities, natural gas, coal,

800
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 13: and nuclear. They just announced a natural power plant in

801
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 13: western Pennsylvania. The shovel ready, it's ready to start next week.

802
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 13: Ten thousand jobs, ten billion dollars invested in this power plant.

803
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 13: That doesn't even include the jobs and the buildout for

804
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 13: the AI Power data center. Look for a lot of

805
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 13: that across the rust Belt because the infrastructure is already there.

806
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: She is Selena Zito.

807
00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to encourage you to go

808
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: by her book, Butler. She was there when they shot

809
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in the head, so go pick that up.

810
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 2: It's of course wonderful. Like everything she writes is Selina.

811
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: Thank you, ma'am.

812
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate you very very much. All Right, we have

813
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: light in the mood. We're gonna hear from you next.

814
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: All right, it is time to lighten the mood. And

815
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 1: I want to encourage you because we're about to read

816
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: some comments from it. Go subscribe to the YouTube channel.

817
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: We'll always put some things up there, funny little clips

818
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: from the show, little things you can't get elsewhere at

819
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly DC on YouTube. You can go scan it

820
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: with your phone. So but we thought it might be

821
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: fun and funny to just come through some of the

822
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: comments that have been left over last little bit. Hey, Jesse,

823
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: we know your thoughts on Thanksgiving in Turkey. What are

824
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Easter in ham My thoughts on it

825
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: are this. I'm very very pro Easter because I believe

826
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: in Jesus. I despise him because I believe in taste.

827
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: Jeremiah says, is Thursday a good night to go to

828
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: Red Lobster or a great night? Every night is a

829
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,720
Speaker 1: good night to go to an American institution like Red Lobster.

830
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: Jose Mendoza says, Jesse is the goat. That is one

831
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: hundred percent correct. I like Jose a lot here and

832
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 1: I should be friends. Ken Bright accused me of quote

833
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: being Trump's mouthpiece and talking bollocks. Ken listen, I'm an

834
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: understanding person. I'm a man of the planet. I guess

835
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: I would say well traveled if you will. Europeans are

836
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: welcome to watch the YouTube channel to watch the show,

837
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: They're not welcome to comment. Ballocks is not something we

838
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 1: say speak English. Martin Stanley called Ellie Mistel that nutball

839
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: comye on TV a chocolate Q tip that's actually hilarious.

840
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: If you would like to anticipate in insulting me or

841
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: insulting America's America's communists, you are more than welcome to

842
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: do so.

843
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 2: Drift over to the.

844
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: YouTube channel YouTube dot com slash at Jesse kellydc One

845
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: final little one quote, garlic bread rules the world, and

846
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: all others are pretenders to the throne. As I've said

847
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: many many times before, once garlicbread was invented, is.

848
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 2: There a purpose to other bread.

849
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: It's like gravy once somebody figured out that we can

850
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: put sausage in it. Once we got sausage gravy, why

851
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: would I ever have regular gravy, same type of thing anyway,

852
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: I'll see it all
