Speaker 2: I'm Steve Gerber, the pulse of the people. We need

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: somebody that's going to hit a paper's voice the truth

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: the mainstream won't touch. This guy is by definition of

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: globals and the stories that matter. Raps On Ben Berkwom

00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: credit of Miss Hill Cartel.

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:21,880

Speaker 4: America's Voice filter.

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 5: These people are domestic terrorists and unapologete.

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: We're here to take a stand for God and country.

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: Let's feel good. America's Voice Live starts now.

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 5: Welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Terrence Bates in for

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 5: Steve Gruber. It is Wednesday, February eighteenth, twenty twenty six.

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 5: Let's get writing to today's top stories. The National Religious

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 5: Broadcasters Convention is underway, marking one of the nation's largest

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 5: annual convenings of Christian communicators. Pastors, ministry leaders, and faith

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 5: based media professionals. Are on site in Nashville and will

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 5: have a live update in just a little bit. Today

20
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 5: is also ash Wednesday, which marks the official start to

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 5: the Lenton season. The next forty days leading up to

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 5: Easter will be marked by prayer, fasting, and giving up

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 5: something for the Lent. We'll discuss the religious significance of

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 5: the season and how you can use this time to

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 5: draw closer to Christ. And later, Hunter College drawing backlash

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 5: after telling US Immigration and Customs enforcement agents they can't

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 5: enter campus buildings without.

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: A judge's order.

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 5: So is this yet another example of Democrats getting in

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 5: the way of the FEDS enforcing immigration law? Plaus President

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 5: Trump scheduled the host a reception honoring Black History Month.

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 5: We're hearing that that's being set up right now. We

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 5: of course, will take you live to the White House

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 5: the moment the President arrives first, though, we want to

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 5: start here. Negotiations between the United States and Iran are

36
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 5: moving forward, with Terrran signaling the Star part of what

37
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 5: it calls a potential framework for future deal. Iran's foreign

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 5: minister says both sides agreed on broad guiding principles and

39
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 5: will begin drafting texts ahead of a third round of talks.

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 5: In the meantime, the Trump administration is emphasizing that any

41
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 5: agreement must go far beyond temporary limits. The US is

42
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 5: demanding the full dismantling of Iran's nuclear program, including its

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 5: enrichment capabilities, along with strict limits on ballistic missiles and

44
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 5: an end to the support for terrorist groups like Hamasen

45
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 5: has Belah. Simultaneously, US broker peace talks between Russia and

46
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 5: Ukraine are wrapping up today in Geneva, with the US

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 5: delegation reportedly setting a June deadline to settle the four

48
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 5: year long war. Joining me now to discuss as former

49
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 5: Navy seal and chief talent officer at Overwatch Mission Critical

50
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 5: Mike Cirelli, Mike, always good to see you.

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: You two terrors, all right, So let's.

52
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 5: Talk about this June deadline that's been put out there.

53
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: Is this a realistic gold in the war?

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 5: And I ask that questions given that in June the

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 5: conditions in Russia and Ukraine will be more favorable for

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 5: fighting as opposed right now when it's the dead of winter.

57
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 4: You better bet that Russia has a plan for a

58
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 4: spring or summer offensive in order to gain more ground,

59
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 4: which gives them more leverage in the negotiations. Do I

60
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 4: think in agreement will be reached by June? No, And

61
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 4: what we're hearing in it's very early after these meetings

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 4: in Geneva is that there has been no breakthrough, which

63
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 4: should not be a surprise to anyone. Ultimately, this is

64
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 4: going to come down to two things. There's going to

65
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: be the discussion over territory concessions on the part of Ukraine.

66
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 4: But Ukraine wants strong security agreements, which Russia has blocked,

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: has objected to, and so that's the two buckets for

68
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: any negotiations moving forward that both sides are going to have.

69
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: To concede a little.

70
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: It is a tough task in this situation for Steve

71
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: Wikoff and Jared Kushner, who led the negotiations, It's gonna

72
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: be a tough task to get both parties to concede

73
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: slightly on certain things.

74
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: And lastly, I'll.

75
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: Say a lot of the territorial concessions involves the Zuparigia

76
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: nuclear power plant, which Russia wants control over and Ukraine

77
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: does not want to concede to Russia. So that's going

78
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: to be a major negotiation point.

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 5: Is the most prominent concession in all of this, the

80
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 5: security that Ukraine is asking for, because in previous deals,

81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 5: President Trump is almost already ordered Ukraine to give up

82
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 5: some of the property that seems to be a non

83
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 5: starter that's going to happen. So is the security part

84
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 5: of the equation really kind of where the sticking point.

85
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 4: Is prid quot quote pro here in order to get

86
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: Ukraine to agree to those territory concessions, what they're asking

87
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: for are just bullet proof security agreements not only involving

88
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: NATO in the US, that Russia is going to have

89
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: to accept. And that's the long pull in the tent

90
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 4: for our side to negotiate, get Russia to agree to

91
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 4: What is.

92
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 5: Your gut feeling, and I get I'm asking you to

93
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 5: look at a crystal ball here, But is President Trump

94
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 5: is a Trump administration in general going to be able

95
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 5: to broker a deal before the end of this Trump administration, So.

96
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 4: I have faith they will. I think we have to

97
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 4: take this from multiple lines. There is the negotiations between

98
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: Russia and Ukraine, but the more important part is what's

99
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 4: happening globally. If Iran is struck and we continue to

100
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 4: isolate Russia not only from the Middle East like we

101
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 4: have in the Western Hemisphere, we continue to paint them

102
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 4: into a box that could result twofold one they're more

103
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 4: agreeable to come to an agreement or two. It's like

104
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: caging a wild animal, and we just don't know what

105
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: behaviors they'll demonstrate or what actions they'll take. But this

106
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: has to be a long term approach and the ultimate

107
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: goal is to have this wrapped up before Trump leaves.

108
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 2: Office, and not to beat a dead horse.

109
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: But as you were talking, I was thinking, all right,

110
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 5: so say Russia agrees for the time being, President Trump

111
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 5: leaves office, Say a Democrat happens to win, does Russia

112
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 5: go back on its word and attack Ukraine?

113
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 2: Again?

114
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 5: I get that's a wild scenario, but I could see

115
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 5: it happening.

116
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 4: They're incentivized knowing that the Democrat party is a weak

117
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 4: party on foreign affairs, and what disincentivizes them to kick

118
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: back off and take more ground unless those security agreements,

119
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 4: which it almost pulls NATO into the conflict, prevents Russia

120
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: from doing so.

121
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 5: All right, you mentioned Iran, so let's go there for

122
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 5: a little bit, because talks are ongoing. President Trump basically

123
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 5: saying that a nuclear ron as a non starter that

124
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 5: cannot happen. Do you even trust Iran? You know, it

125
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 5: all sounds good. Aroan seems to be amenable, but it's

126
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 5: hard to trust them given its history.

127
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 4: You know, I trust Iran like I would trust Epstein

128
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: to babysit my daughter.

129
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.

130
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 4: And what I think is going on here is, you know,

131
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 4: we know we're following the playbook, which is the diplomatic

132
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: playbook to bring them to the negotiating table. You know,

133
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 4: they will not agree to our terms ultimately. And I

134
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: think we all know where this is leading. And you know, shocker,

135
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: the military guy is advocating, advocating for the US to

136
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: strike Iran. That's where it's going to go. And quite frankly,

137
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 4: you know, everything is in our favor. The EU has

138
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: designated the ier GC as a terrorist organization and in

139
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 4: response around designated EU as a terrorist organization. The Islamic

140
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 4: Republic is at the weakest point we've ever seen them

141
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 4: terrans in our lifetime. This is the opportunity, this is

142
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: the opportunity to remove it cancer, the largest state sponsor

143
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 4: of terrorism in the Middle East, and the highest likelihood

144
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: that we can see the Middle East as a different,

145
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: stable region for economic development and increased partnership. So, you know,

146
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: follow the playbook, go through the diplomacy, but we know

147
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: where this is going.

148
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 5: To end up in my opinion, all right, So say

149
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 5: we follow the playbook, we go through the diplomacy.

150
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: How long does this last?

151
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: It seems like it's an exercise in futility from the

152
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 5: outside looking in. But okay, let's let's try the diplomacy.

153
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 5: How long does that last until you say, all right,

154
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 5: enough is enough and we're going to move forward more aggressively.

155
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: Let's put it that way.

156
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: Well, the Chubb administration is already what we call setting

157
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: the conditions. You got the gerald Ford carrier strike group

158
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: moving to the Gulf as we speak. That will add

159
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 4: to the previous carrier strike group that's already there. So

160
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 4: we will have the forces in place to conduct those

161
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 4: those strikes, very precise strategic targets to take out within

162
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: Iran and ultimately allow the people of Iran to take

163
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 4: control of the state. Now, I know for some parties

164
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 4: they're going to talk about regime change and our unfortunate

165
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 4: record on regime change in the Middle East. But Iran

166
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 4: is not Iraq. They are more technologically advanced, they're more westernized,

167
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 4: they're more modernized to an industrial so it is a

168
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 4: different component. And unlike Iraq, you know, we've got the

169
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 4: former Shaw or the son of the former Shaw that

170
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: can step in as an interim governance to assist the

171
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: rebuilding of Iran until they reach free in democratic elections.

172
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 4: So it is it's like comparing apples and oranges, but

173
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: something I think the US with the international community can

174
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 4: handle collectively to again bring peace to the Middle East,

175
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: which we have not seen in our lifetime.

176
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 5: Mike, let me ask a more specific question, or a

177
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 5: clearer question. How long do you think the administration should

178
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: allow this diplomacy effort to play out? Are we talking days, weeks, months,

179
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: how quickly or how long until the administration just says

180
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 5: enough is enough and then goes ahead and takes takes

181
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 5: bombing out or you know, it does something a bit

182
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 5: more aggressive.

183
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 4: No, it's a great question. Ultimately, I think weeks once

184
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 4: the gerald Ford carrier strike group is in place, we

185
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 4: have everything that we need along with the partnership of

186
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 4: the cooperation States and Israel I think so we're looking

187
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 4: at possibly weeks, if not within the next month.

188
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 5: You know, the reality is we're spread, so then there's

189
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 5: so many hot spots. Obviously, we've talked about Russia, Ukraine,

190
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 5: We've talked about Iran, but we can't forget China, which

191
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: is also poised to potentially attack Taiwan as well, which

192
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 5: one would think is a conflict that the US would

193
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 5: to some degree be involved in.

194
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 4: Yes, with these high level talks coming with Trump's visit

195
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 4: to China, you know, ultimately I think he's doing a

196
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 4: great job of normalizing relationships. You do, China will always

197
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 4: be a near pure military competitor. I still put it

198
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: hands down that we can take China in a military conflict,

199
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: but that is one we all want to avoid for

200
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 4: the good of not only the global community but the

201
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 4: United States and China. So you know, we've got to

202
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: accept that they will always have a strong military. So

203
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 4: we've got to secure those economic ties for both nations.

204
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 4: That affects the global economy. So you know, if we

205
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: normalize those ties, I don't think they'll move on Taiwan.

206
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: Do they have the capability?

207
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: Yes?

208
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 4: Are we arming Taiwan in an argument that can state

209
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 4: that it would make it a very bloody and costly

210
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 4: endeavor for China to make a move on Taiwan, I

211
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 4: can say we are, and we'll continue to do so

212
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 4: to disincentivize them from trying to do an all on

213
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 4: assault on Taiwan. So continue to normalize those economic ties

214
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 4: between US and China. We're dependent on one another, and

215
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 4: let's bring some stability to the global economy for the

216
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 4: good of both nations.

217
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 5: Even with the normalized ties you just described there, Yeah,

218
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 5: there may not be a physical war with China, but

219
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 5: it's been pretty clear over the past decades that China

220
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 5: is going to do things to provoke the United States.

221
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 5: We of course know that technologically China has attacked the

222
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 5: United States and its disinformation campaigns and other things. So

223
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 5: would you describe us still to be at war with China,

224
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 5: even if it's not a Philly a cool war involving

225
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 5: military it's like.

226
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 4: A second version of the Cold War. And so fifth

227
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 4: generation warfare not fought by conventional armies is the way

228
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: of the future, and we are already making changes to

229
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 4: DoD under the Secretary of War Pete Haiksath to fight

230
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 4: the same way that China does. And China will never

231
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 4: play by the same set of rules. Even look at

232
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 4: it from an economic perspective. They steal our ip at

233
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 4: a faster rate than any other nation. So we have

234
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 4: to accept that that's what the new normal form of

235
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 4: warfare looks like. But when you have an economic competitor.

236
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: One is going to try to get an advantage over

237
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: the other, and we just need to fight by the

238
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: same dirty rules that they do, or hold them accountable

239
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 4: on a global perspective to some of the behaviors that

240
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 4: they demonstrate or take a part of. So that is

241
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 4: what the new normal looks like, Terrence.

242
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 5: It's frightening. It's frightening from the outside looking in as frightening.

243
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 5: But as you said, it is the new normal. It

244
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 5: is reality.

245
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: Mike. Always good to talk to you, my friend.

246
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 5: Appreciate your time, you too, all right, that was Mike's

247
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 5: Airelli there joining us. Let's take you to the White

248
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 5: House now where President Trump is making his way into

249
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 5: a Black History Month celebration and reception. Here he is,

250
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 5: Let's listen in as the President takes the stage.

251
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 3: This is a nice full room. You know, we have

252
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 3: a we have a ballroom being built right now. So

253
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: in about a year and a half we'll be able

254
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: to have about i'd say ten times the number we

255
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: could invite some friends and couldn't make it today because frankly,

256
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: this was a sold out crowd. Has been ever since

257
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: I've been president, every year. It's been so long, so

258
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 3: a lot of great friends. Is your knockout panel. Okay,

259
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: for those that are interested to see that curtain, You

260
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 3: open that curtain and it's a beautiful funnel right into

261
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: the most beautiful ballroom. It's being built right now, so

262
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: it's pretty. And they wanted it for a hundred In

263
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 3: fifty years, we're getting it done a lot. We're getting

264
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 3: a lot of other things done too well. I want

265
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: to thank you all and welcome you to the White

266
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 3: House on this very special occasion. That is indeed, I've

267
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 3: been at every one of them. We celebrate the one

268
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 3: hundredth anniversary of Black History Month. That's a big deal.

269
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: One hundred well, that's sort of special. The one hundredth

270
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: that's about it's like one fifties good, but two hundreds better, right,

271
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: one hundreds better. I want to begin by expressing our

272
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 3: sadness at the passing of a person who was I

273
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: knew very well. Jesse was a piece of work. I

274
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: want to tell you he was a piece of work,

275
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: but he was a good man. He was a real

276
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 3: he was a real hero. And I just want to

277
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: pay my highest respects to Reverend Jesse Jackson. He's a

278
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: good man who's actually as you got to know me,

279
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: you got better and better all the time. A lot

280
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: of them, a lot of people you get to know

281
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: him to get worse and worse. Jesse got better and better.

282
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: But I knew him well long before becoming president. And

283
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: he really was special with lots of personality, grit and

284
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: street smarts. You would say Jesse had serious street smarts right,

285
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: a very important ingredient to life. I will tell you

286
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: he was gregarious and someone who truly loved people, and

287
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 3: a full and a force of nature. He was somebody

288
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: that we're going to greatly miss and on behalf of

289
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 3: everyone here today. I know you join me in sending

290
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: our condolences to the entire family. Had a great family.

291
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 3: We're also honored to be joined this afternoon by many

292
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: exceptional African American leaders and patriots, including Secretary Scott Turner recommended.

293
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: Where is Scott? Where is Scott? Will you come up here? Scott?

294
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: He was recommended by somebody who's very special to me,

295
00:15:54,200 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: Ben Carson. Ben Carson, Where's Ben? Where's Ben? He's been?

296
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: Come on up here, Ben, come here, I gotta get here,

297
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: and his wonderful wife, Candy Canny. I'm gonna steal Ben

298
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: for a second, because you know Ben, Ben recommended Scott,

299
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: and when Ben recommends somebody, I just do it. Did

300
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: I make a good decision? Be careful, don't fall, Ben.

301
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: If you fall, that's the end. It's never. You can

302
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 3: never recover from befall. You know, if you'll make you

303
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: can make the greatest speech ever. But if you fall,

304
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 3: My predecessor taught me that. So is Scott doing a

305
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: good job? Ben? Come on, say that I like you.

306
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 6: One of the reasons I was so high on Scott

307
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 6: Turner is he was really the driving force behind the

308
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 6: Opportunity zones, which was.

309
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: Which doesn't get.

310
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 6: Nearly the attention that it should, but it was because

311
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 6: President Trump realized that the best way to get things

312
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 6: done is through public private partnerships and have everybody with

313
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 6: skin in the game. And it is working as all

314
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 6: the other things that he's been recommending. And at some point,

315
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,239
Speaker 6: at some point the mainstream media will recognize that you

316
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 6: don't politicize everything. You open your eyes and your ears

317
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 6: and you're look and you see what works, and you

318
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 6: deal with that. But the best thing about Scott, he's got.

319
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 3: A lot of energy.

320
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 6: You know, I'm an old man now I'll be seventy

321
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 6: five on my next birthday. And I'm not like President Trump.

322
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 6: He just goes forever.

323
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: But no one else is like that.

324
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 6: But Scott Turner. We call him the Energizer Bunny, and

325
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 6: he is doing a fantastic job. And I want to

326
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 6: congratulate all the people at HUD because most of them

327
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 6: have come back and continue with what we're doing during

328
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 6: the first Trump term and it's fantastic.

329
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 3: Thank you.

330
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 7: Well, just very briefly, thank you, mister President. We are

331
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 7: so grateful for your leadership and for your heart for

332
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 7: America and doctor Carson, who is a tremendous just leader,

333
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 7: servant leader, and been a great mentor to me. And

334
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 7: you know, I never thought that I would see today

335
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 7: where I'm standing between the President and doctor Ben Carson.

336
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: Uh. That's pretty cool.

337
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, And so uh, I just want to say to

338
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 8: everyone that's here, you know, as we celebrate this special

339
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 8: day in not only Black history but American history.

340
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 3: UH.

341
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 7: This year that we've been here, you know, under President Trump,

342
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 7: the Lord has been so gracious to us.

343
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 3: Uh.

344
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 7: And he's been faithful and the President has been a

345
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 7: tremendous leader in his work, ethic, his heart, for people.

346
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 7: And when he says America first, he really does mean

347
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,959
Speaker 7: America first. Yeah, and so, and to be able to

348
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 7: stand on the shoulders of doctor Ben Carson and for

349
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 7: the President to trust doctor Carson at his word, it's

350
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 7: truly humbling for me. And so to stand now as

351
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 7: the servant leader and the secretary of HUD, I'm grateful

352
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 7: to the Lord. I'm grateful to the President and doctor Carson,

353
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 7: and I'll promise you we will continue to do good

354
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 7: work and to make not just housing affordable and everybody

355
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 7: achieved the American dream, but really to bring transformation and

356
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 7: so that those that are in our country who depend

357
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 7: on subsidies and this, that and the other will get

358
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 7: off of that and live a life of self sustainability.

359
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 3: So God, bless you, thank you, thank you. And Ben

360
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 3: mentioned the opportunity zones. We did that, and I wanted

361
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: to thank Kim Scott because he really it was his baby.

362
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: That was his baby, and he did a great job

363
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 3: with it. We appreciate it. And again, Candy, thank you

364
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: very much for being here a special woman. Ben's getting

365
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 3: the Presidential Medal of Freedom. That's the biggest, that's the biggest,

366
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 3: that's the highest award you can have outside of the

367
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 3: Congressional Medal of Honor. But it's better because you know,

368
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 3: a lot of people get the Congressional Medal of Honor.

369
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 3: They're not around you get them. They're not around they

370
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 3: got whereas we don't have to go that far. Generous making,

371
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: but it's the highest award civilian. And then you have

372
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: the matching is the Congressional Medal of Honor. Both tremendous.

373
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 3: So Ben, I'll be seeing you back here pretty soon,

374
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 3: I think, and you're going to get the award. You'll

375
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: probably fill up this room. I said, we'll do it

376
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: in the Oval office. He said, sir, it's not big enough.

377
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: I said, so we're gonna do it right here, okay,

378
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: And we love it. I'd like to also thank Senior

379
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General. He said, fantastic man.

380
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: He's been my friend for a long time. Leo Terrell,

381
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 3: there's no better. We have time, right, do we have time? Yes?

382
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 3: Anybody have to go, like, come on up here, Leo,

383
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 3: get up here. This guy he says it like it

384
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 3: is like Leo, come here, le look at you, spry me.

385
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: Let me just thank you, thank you very much. Mister President.

386
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: First of all, we are living under the administration of

387
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: the greatest president in our lifetime, and we have the

388
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: hottest country in our lifetime. And I want to make

389
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: sure the mainstream media knows this because you represent the

390
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: people who basically counter what the mainstream media has done.

391
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: President Trump was the president who fully funded historically black

392
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: College of the University. President Trump took the lead and

393
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: perform criminal justice reform. President Trump made sure that we

394
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: had opportunities zones.

395
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: Let me close by saying.

396
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: This, This country is at a crossroads and we have

397
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: the right president at the right time. And if you

398
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: want school choice, like I know you do, President.

399
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 3: Trump wants it.

400
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: If you want a law and order of society and

401
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: secure border, President Trump wants that. And more importantly, I

402
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: say this because this is the greatest country on the planet.

403
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: American citizens should decide American election.

404
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 3: Hope for to say that. Thank you, Leo two point zero.

405
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 3: We love we love Leah. Thank you Leah. That was

406
00:22:52,720 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: very good. Yeah. Anyway, so he's a special guy. I

407
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 3: watched him on Sean Hatt It a long time ago.

408
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 3: He used to be a Democrat. You know, Leo was

409
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 3: a Democrat. That's a long time ago. Right, can you

410
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 3: imagine you were a democrat? I can't. I can't imagine it.

411
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: You'd see him with Leo two point zero up in

412
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: the hat. We love him. He's a great man. Actually,

413
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 3: General Counsel for the Department of War, Earl Matthews. That's

414
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 3: a big deal. Thank you, earl, thank you very much.

415
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 3: I see Johnny over there with a great book. How

416
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 3: is the book doing good? What a great person you are,

417
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: great book, White House pardons are. There's a big job.

418
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 3: There's a big job. Alice Johnson, Alice, she wears Alice.

419
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 3: What a sweetheart. I met Alice and she was incarcerated

420
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: or what some people would say today is not even

421
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: a fine, right, Alice, it's not even a fine. And

422
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 3: I said, how long has she been in jail? Twenty

423
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: two years? I said, twenty two years? And right, Alice,

424
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: and come on up here, Alice, come on, I said,

425
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: twenty two years. And she was on a phone call.

426
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: This was over a phone call. I know about fake

427
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 3: phone calls to Alice. You know, remember they tried to

428
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 3: get me in a fake phone call. But Alice was

429
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 3: in jail for like twenty two years. I said, how

430
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: many years does she have left twenty eight I said,

431
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 3: twenty eight years left. And I said it, and I mean,

432
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 3: she admits she made a little mistake, but it was

433
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 3: not the kind of a mistake that you served fifty

434
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 3: years in jail for like maybe a couple of months,

435
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 3: maybe less than that. And I said, this is the

436
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: most unfair. And then when I met her, I fell

437
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 3: in love. I found my wife, my wife. I was

438
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: very upset with it. Our great first lady did not

439
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 3: like that. Scott, we didn't. She didn't like it. But

440
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 3: Alice is great, and say a couple of words. It

441
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 3: was so ridiculous, twenty two years she had twenty eight left,

442
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 3: and I said, let's get her the hell out, and

443
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 3: we got her out. We did a commute, and then

444
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 3: when I got to know her, she was so high

445
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: coal I said, full pardon. So she's she's cleaner than

446
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 3: anybody in this room, even than my friend right here.

447
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 3: She's cleaner. Because of that, She's cleaner than anybody in

448
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 3: this room.

449
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 9: Thank you, mister President.

450
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 10: The feeling was mutual.

451
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 9: I fell in love with this man with his heart,

452
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 9: was with his heart for this country, with his heart

453
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 9: to really bring America back to the form of greatness

454
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 9: that it deserves. And that's exactly what he has done.

455
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 9: My story is truly a Joseph's story. This president right here,

456
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 9: President Donald Trump, from the prison pit to the White House.

457
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 9: Only in America could there be a story like my story.

458
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 9: And President Trump is the only president who would have

459
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 9: had the courage, the courage to bring someone like me,

460
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 9: someone who received a second chance, but who knows more

461
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 9: than someone who has sit among the captives, than someone

462
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 9: who has been in captivity themselves. I did not get

463
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 9: comfortable in my own freedom, but I went back, as

464
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 9: Harry Tupman says she did, she went back to draw

465
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 9: many others into freedom. And President Trump has listened to

466
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 9: those recommendations. There's so much more to come, because when

467
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 9: you see me, you see a miracle, You see hope,

468
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 9: you see second chances, and you see someone who is

469
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 9: willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work,

470
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 9: do the hard work to help individuals gain their freedom.

471
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 9: President Trump did something historic in his first term. He

472
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 9: signed the First Step Act into law. And for that

473
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 9: over over forty thousand, and that number is low, over

474
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 9: forty thousand individuals have come home to their families early.

475
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 9: And you know many many, many of those were Black

476
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 9: Americans who had no hope. This president right here, as

477
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 9: you look out upon the sea of Black Americans.

478
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: This president here's you. This president cares for you.

479
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 9: Don't let anyone tell you that this president right here,

480
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 9: Donald Trump, has not it's not for Black America, because he.

481
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 10: Is I'm standing here today.

482
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 9: I'm standing here today as a testament, as a test

483
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 9: to how he feels about Black Americans. There has never

484
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 9: been a position like this. I don't know if there

485
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 9: ever will be before. But i worked with him in

486
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 9: his first term, and I'm proud to now officially have

487
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 9: the title to make it happen. Let's get Let's get

488
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 9: real with the realness. Let's get behind President Trump, who

489
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 9: truly has turned our nation around and made us the

490
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 9: envy of every country.

491
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: In the world.

492
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 9: Thank you, mister President, and thank you God for recognizing

493
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 9: and raising up this man to be the leader of

494
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 9: the free world.

495
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 3: I love you. That's a great woman. You know, when

496
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: I was looking for a pardon person, like a pardon jar,

497
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: they gave me somebody from Harvard, somebody from Yale, somebody

498
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: from somebody from Penn somebody from Stanford. And I said,

499
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: do you know anything about it? Well, we can learn,

500
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: you know, they can look. And when I met Alice,

501
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: I said, she's better than these people, and she's done

502
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 3: a fantastic job, you know. I said to Alice, I said,

503
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: so I'm looking for people like you to let out.

504
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: How many people are there like you? She said many?

505
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: I said many in jail? Think of it, twenty two

506
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: years she was in jail, and she had twenty eight

507
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: years to go on a phone call. You admit you

508
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 3: did a little something wrong, right, But it was like, okay,

509
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 3: it wasn't. It wasn't fifty years. Even if you said

510
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 3: six months today, it would be probably nothing. But even

511
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 3: if you said some little time. But I said, I'm

512
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 3: looking for other people like you. How many are there? Many?

513
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 3: Then I was worried, because I then I was worried.

514
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: I said, well, maybe she's going to say everybody should

515
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 3: be let out. I went out a believer in that said, so, Alice,

516
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 3: are there people that shouldn't be You met a lot

517
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 3: of people, right, are there people that shouldn't be let up? Absolutely?

518
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: Then I felt better because there are some bad ones

519
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 3: in there too, right, But you are fantastic and you've

520
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 3: been great and so respected all over the country, all

521
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 3: over the world. In a sense, it's become you become

522
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 3: a very big story. Thank you very much, Alice. I

523
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: appreciate it. And we have Lynn, Pat and Lynn, thank you.

526
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:45,680

527
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: You've been with me from day one, right from day one.

528
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 3: She's been there. She's been fighting for me, and I

529
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: fight for her. I don't have to do too much

530
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 3: fighting for her. She takes care of herself. Thank you.

531
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: Thank you. We can say Merry Christmas is. Thank you.

532
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 3: Thank you for all that support for years, for years,

533
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 3: right even before Alice, a long time years before Alice, right,

534
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: thank you, Darling. Corinne Rankin, thank you very much. Thank

535
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 3: you very much. Thank you, Karen and Deontay Johnson, thank you.

536
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 3: And a man who's been with me for a long

537
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 3: time and he's never asked me for a thing, Bruce,

538
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. Bruce Levelle, thank you very much.

539
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 3: I wasn't sure if you had your name down here, Bruce.

540
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 3: I was going to mention you anyway, okay, but they

541
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: had your name. They did a job. Finally, they always

542
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 3: leave a lot of names out, and that bothers me.

543
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 3: Like I see Scott Bessant, his name was left out,

544
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: first time ever. Look at Scott. I'm looking for his name.

545
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 3: I'm looking for his name. I said, I better. He's

546
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 3: the greatest Treasury secretary we've ever had. I think he's

547
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 3: how's the economy doing? Scott good? The best? It's really

548
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: people are going to see and watch the State of

549
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 3: the Union. We're going to be talking about the economy.

550
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 3: We inherited a mess, and now we have prices way down,

551
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 3: we have energy way down. Gasoline is now breaking two

552
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 3: dollars a gallon in many places, and it's been actually amazing.

553
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 3: But Scott's fantastic. I don't want to forget to mention.

554
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: It might be in big trouble. All of a sudden,

555
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 3: the economy would turn bad on us. I say, I'd say,

556
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 3: what happened? It was Scott? Thank you, Scott, And Secretary

557
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 3: Lourie Chavez de Rimer, Laurie, thank you very much, fool

558
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 3: Secretary of Labor, Assistant Attorney General, our meat Diller. How

559
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 3: are you doing. How are you doing with Harvard? How

560
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 3: are you doing with Harvard? You know, Harvard's extremely discriminatory, unfortunately,

561
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: and it's working. Good. Har Meet is on their trail, right, good, good?

562
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 3: You keep suing them. The hell with them. I like

563
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 3: the history orally black colleges and universities, which I which

564
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: I saved Leo two point oho said it, but which

565
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 3: I saved. We saved them. They had no funding, and

566
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 3: every year they come back. And I got to know

567
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 3: some of the heads, and every year they come back.

568
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: And after my third year, first term, I said, you

569
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: guys keep coming back, Why do you keep coming back?

570
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 3: Said we have to come back every year for years

571
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: and years they had to come back. And one of

572
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 3: them said, one of the heads, a great guy, said,

573
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: they make us feel like beggars. We have to come back.

574
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: I said, I'm going to get you long term financing.

575
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 3: And I got it for them, and I said the

576
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 3: only I said, the only pand thing. I'll never see

577
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 3: you guys again. I've never said I haven't seen too

578
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 3: many of them. But we took care of the historically

579
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 3: black colleges and universities, right, and then it was a

580
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: great thing to do. And so many others are in

581
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 3: the audience that are just friends of mine. I look

582
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: at so many, but if I introduced all of you,

583
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 3: we're going to be here a long time, and that's unacceptable.

584
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 3: Not only are we celebrating the century of Black History Month, also,

585
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 3: as you know, this year, we'll also be celebrating the

586
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 3: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of nation's founding. And the

587
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 3: good thing when they cheated on the election, they made

588
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 3: me wait four years. And because I waited four years,

589
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 3: I get the two hundred and fiftieth year. I get

590
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 3: the Olympics, which I was the one guy that got it,

591
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: and I get the World Cup. So I got the

592
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 3: World Cup. And I said, you know, it's too bad.

593
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 3: Before all this nonsense takes place took place. I said,

594
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 3: it's too bad. I got the World Cup. To come here, Johnny,

595
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 3: another Johnny. We got the World Cup. It was fantastic,

596
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 3: the head of it, one of the great people. And

597
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 3: I said, the only bad part is I won't be

598
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 3: in office because my four years will be up. This

599
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 3: would have been the more traditional route. And then they

600
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 3: cheated on the election, and I said, now we won

601
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 3: by so many. We won by millions of votes, but

602
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: they cheated. It was during a COVID period. And then

603
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 3: Jada and we did it again, and we made it

604
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 3: too big to rig, too big to rig, and by

605
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: doing that, I ended up getting the Olympics. I ended

606
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 3: up because we were responsible for both of them. And

607
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 3: we're going to have a great year. But we're gonna

608
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 3: have a great three years. We're going to have hopefully

609
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 3: a great Hopefully we're gonna have a great century, because

610
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 3: that's ultimately what it meant. We'll get it started. But

611
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 3: as we honor Americas two fifty and I can't say

612
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 3: that I got the two fifty. I tried doing that

613
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 3: a couple of times, Bruce, I said, I got the Olympics,

614
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 3: I got the World Cup, and I got the two

615
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 3: hundred and fiftieth year. They said you didn't do that.

616
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 3: I said, you're right about that. I didn't do too.

617
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 3: We happened to be here at the right time. That's

618
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 3: all that was. But we thank God for the strength

619
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 3: and courage and grit and devotion of Black Americans who

620
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: have helped make America the most powerful country in the

621
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 3: history of the world. We now have and you saw

622
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 3: that with our with our attack a few weeks ago

623
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 3: on Venezuela. We have the greatest military in the world.

624
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 3: We make the greatest equipment in the world. There's nobody

625
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 3: even close. Nearly ten thousand African Americans fought for the

626
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 3: patriot caused the Revolutionary War? Did you know that? Ten

627
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: thousand and sexually a number even I've heard even higher

628
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 3: than that, helping secure our independence and every generation since,

629
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 3: from the Buffalo Soldiers to the Tuskegee Airmen, Black Americans

630
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 3: have stepped forward to defend the flag and to defend

631
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 3: our country like few others, really like few others. And

632
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 3: you've never really been given the recognition that you should

633
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 3: get for that. You know that, Ben They never I

634
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 3: don't think a lot of people have given the kind

635
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 3: of recognition. But everyone knows all about the Tuskegee Airmen.

636
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 3: They were great and amazing. The Buffalo Soldiers. Do you know?

637
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 3: The Buffalo Soldiers good stuff? Right from jazz to the

638
00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: blues that you know that you do get recognition for jazz, blues,

639
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 3: from rock and roll to rap. Black artists like Chuck Berry,

640
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 3: Muddy Orders. How about Nicki Minaj? Do we love Nickie

641
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: Van Right? I love Nicki Minaj? She was here a

642
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago. So beautiful, her skin, soup beautiful,

643
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 3: he said, Nikki, so cure her nails, her nails like

644
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: that long, I said, I said, Nikki, are they real?

645
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 3: She said she didn't want to get into that, but

646
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 3: she was so beautiful, so great and she and she

647
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 3: gets it, you know more importantly, frankly, she gets it.

648
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 3: But black leaders, from Frederick Douglas to Martin Luther King

649
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 3: right a little relative over here, have made our country freer.

650
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: And really what they've really done has made life more just.

651
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: And black athletes have inspired billions around the globe, from

652
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 3: Sugar Ray Robinson, sugar Y Leonard. Also, by the way,

653
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 3: great what a great fighter. Mohammad Ali, who was a

654
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 3: friend of mine. I put a picture of myself and Mohammad.

655
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 3: It was another piece of work. You talk about a

656
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 3: piece of work. But he could fight, couldn't he. Mike Tyson, boy,

657
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 3: I tell you, Mike has been loyal to me. Whenever

658
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 3: they come out they said Trump's a racist. You know

659
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 3: it just like I say, but Trump's a racist, Mike

660
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 3: Tyson be goes that he got our racist. He's my friend.

661
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 3: He's been there from the beginning. Good times in bed.

662
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 3: But Mike Tyson's a great guy and he's was so loyal,

663
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 3: always been loyal. And herschel Walker speaking about loyal, How

664
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 3: good a football player was herschel herschel Walker. Now he's

665
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: the ambassador to the Bahamas. I don't know Bahamas Bermuda?

666
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 3: Is he brahamas whatever? It's nice, a nice place. You'd

667
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 3: like that, Bruce when Bruce wants it. And a friend

668
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 3: a guy who became really he liked Trump, Jim Brown.

669
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 3: He was tough. He'd come in, he was very silent.

670
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 3: He was silent but deadly. He'd come in and he'd

671
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 3: look at people that if he didn't like him, he

672
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 3: just look at me and he got no good. He

673
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 3: wanted to rip the heart out. I would say, they

674
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: can't be a better football greater football player than Jim Brown.

675
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 3: By the way. Lawrence Taylor, great friend, Lawrence, the great

676
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 3: Lawrence Tale, the greatest defensive player probably of the history

677
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 3: of football. He's a great friend of mine. But I'm

678
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 3: longer off the tee than him. You know why, because

679
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 3: they take the club back further. He takes a club

680
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 3: back this far and he hits it two hundred yards

681
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 3: when you can do that. You're strong. He's a great

682
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 3: He is a great guy. I'll tell you that. And

683
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 3: all of this is a part of the legacy that

684
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 3: we celebrate in July fourth, twenty twenty six, because Black

685
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 3: History Month is really all about American history, and this

686
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 3: is a big year. This is a big year for you.

687
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 3: During my first term, I was honored to deliver unprecedented

688
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 3: victories for Black Americans and all Americans, frankly, but black Americans.

689
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: I single handedly secured record long term funding for I

690
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: told you the historically black colleges and universities. I created

691
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 3: nearly nine thousand opportunities zones with our great secretary. And also,

692
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: I think we have to do and as I said before,

693
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 3: Tim Scott really really he came to me with that

694
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 3: idea and we put it into use. Right Scott and

695
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 3: I signed historic criminal justice reform into law. We got

696
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 3: criminal justice reform. Just so you know, for thirty years, you,

697
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 3: more than any other group of people, has been trying

698
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 3: to get criminal justice reform and they couldn't do it.

699
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 3: And a group of people came to my office and

700
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 3: they asked me to do it. They couldn't get it.

701
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 3: They needed five conservative votes in the Senate and conservative

702
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 3: was five conservative white votes in the Senate, and of

703
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: the five, all five of them were totally against. And

704
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 3: I called them up and they were great, They were great,

705
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 3: and they one of them were Senator John Kennedy, to

706
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 3: be honest with you, he was not in favor of it.

707
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 3: And I spoke to him and he was one hundred percent.

708
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 3: He's a great senator, great guy, and you know that.

709
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 3: He was a tremendous help. So we got criminal justice

710
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: reform done and approved, and nobody thought it could be done.

711
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 3: And it's no wonder that in twenty twenty four we

712
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 3: won more African American votes than any Republican presidential candidate

713
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,479
Speaker 3: in history. And just over one year ago, we had

714
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 3: a dead country. We were dead country. Scott just said it.

715
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 3: We were dead as a door. Naw. We had an

716
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 3: idiot as a president. We had a man that was

717
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 3: not a president. Number one, he didn't win the election.

718
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 3: He was not a president. Yeah, right. He was a

719
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 3: real beauty, wasn't he. He allowed twenty five million people

720
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 3: into our country, many of them should not have been here.

721
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 3: And we've done now. We have by the way, we

722
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 3: went from the world border in history to the best

723
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 3: by far, the best water in hours. But I had

724
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 3: the support of many people, Bruce, I had the support

725
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 3: of many people in this room, and we've got right

726
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 3: now the hottest country anywhere in the world. King of

727
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia told me that he said, you were a

728
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 3: dead country a year and a half ago. Now you're

729
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 3: the hottest country. We're the hottest country right now anywhere

730
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 3: in the world, and you're a big part of it,

731
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 3: and you're a big beneficiary. I to it. Take a

732
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 3: look at your four oh one ks. Has anybody got

733
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 3: a four oh one k that's lower than it was

734
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 3: pep lower than it was a year ago. They're double,

735
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 3: I mean they are through the roof. The stock market

736
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 3: has hit fifty three all time record high since the election,

737
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 3: and earlier this month, the Dow Jones Industrill l average rose

738
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 3: above fifty thousand for the first time ever, right Scott,

739
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 3: first time ever. And also you know that they don't

740
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 3: talk about this. The S and P broke seven thousand.

741
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 3: So when I got elected, they said for the S

742
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 3: and P to break seven thousand within four years would

743
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 3: be a great achievement for the president, and for the

744
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 3: Dow Jones to break fifty thousand would be great, a

745
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 3: great thing, but it's not possible. They were talking about

746
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 3: in four years, Scott. They said, in four years it

747
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 3: would not be possible to break fifty thousand or seven

748
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 3: thousand under these two very important call them a metric metrics.

749
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 3: And you know what happened. We broke it before the

750
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 3: end of my first year. So right, so we did something.

751
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 3: So they said we couldn't do it in four years,

752
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 3: we did it in one year. More Americans are working

753
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 3: today than at any time in American history. So we

754
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 3: have more Americans right now working than at any time.

755
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 3: And you know when I say this stuff, I get

756
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 3: the fake news back there a lot of it, Thank you.

757
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 3: I agree. Sometimes we have to be very careful because

758
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 3: they actually go and it's not pretty. Leo. We have

759
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 3: to get Leo in the DOJ involved. But think of that, Leo.

760
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 3: Think of that. More Americans are working today than any

761
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 3: time in history. And since I took office, African American

762
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 3: employment has increased by one hundred and eighty two thousand,

763
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 3: the highest seven jobs one hundred and eighty two thousand.

764
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 3: Nearly half a million Black Americans have rejoined the labor

765
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: force since we took office half a million. Wages for

766
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 3: workers have increased one thousand dollars, two thousand dollars, even

767
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 3: three and even sometimes in some cases five thousand dollars

768
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 3: a year. That's faster than inflation. So wages have gone

769
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 3: up at a much faster clip than inflation. We took

770
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 3: over the worst inflation in the history of our country.

771
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 3: They say forty eight years or forty nine years. I

772
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 3: said that, you know, I said, inflation under Biden has

773
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,479
Speaker 3: went up more than at any time in the history

774
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 3: of our country. They said, he's not right about that.

775
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 3: It's forty nine years. I said, all right, I'll accept too. Actually,

776
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 3: I think it sounds worse. Har made I think for

777
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 3: some reason, because when you say the worst ever, but

778
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 3: when you say the worst than forty nine years, I'll

779
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 3: take that, right. The fake news got me on that one.

780
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 3: I think I think I was right, by the way,

781
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 3: but I'll accept forty eight or forty nine years. But

782
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 3: for the first time in many years, one hundred percent

783
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 3: of all net job creation is going to American born citizens.

784
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 3: Think of that, one hundred percent. And in the last

785
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 3: administration was going mostly to illegal aliens that came in

786
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 3: many of them murderers and others. Last summer, we passed

787
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 3: the largest working class tax cuts in the history of

788
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 3: our country. That includes no tax on tips, no tax

789
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 3: on overtime, no tax on social security for our great seniors.

790
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 3: And you're gonna see that, you know, just kicked in

791
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 3: on January first. You're gonna see tremendous results. And they're

792
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 3: already seeing it. And I think we're gonna have GDPs.

793
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 3: We're gonna have numbers that nobody's ever seen before. Scut

794
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 3: joining us this afternoon, and really some buddy that is

795
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 3: fantastic and Nedda Bradford. In twenty nineteen, Nanetta and her

796
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 3: husband opened an incredibly successful coffee shop in Arkansas named

797
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 3: Hebrews eleven one. That's an interesting name. No one thinks

798
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 3: that the no tax on tips matter as well? It

799
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 3: doesn't matter, and it mattered a lot to Annetta. And

800
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 3: she was able to grow her business just in a

801
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 3: short period of time and hired more employees and she's

802
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 3: making a fortune. I'd like you to give some of

803
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 3: the people in that room some of that money in

804
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 3: that I used to make it. And Thatda come in, Arnetta, Come,

805
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 3: where are you na? Come on up here? Arnetta. Come

806
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 3: on up, my dogs, let me move that down.

807
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 11: I can't do anything first but say to God be

808
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 11: the glory. I have no business being here other than

809
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 11: Him having me here, and so yeah, I'm not gonna

810
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 11: do it. I'm not gonna preach. I'm gonna settle myself.

811
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 11: Thank you so much for invite me and having me here.

812
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 11: There's such an honor to be here today. Hebrews eleven

813
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 11: and one.

814
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 3: People ask me.

815
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 11: All the time, why did I even open a business?

816
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 11: Why did I even call it? Hebrews eleven and one.

817
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 11: Hebrews eleven and one is my very favorite scripture. Now,

818
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 11: faith is the substance of things hoped for and the

819
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 11: evidence of things not seen. That scripture has walked with me,

820
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 11: has had grown me from a little girl own up,

821
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 11: not having no longer my mother here, no longer having

822
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 11: my father here, my husband not having his mother and

823
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 11: his father here.

824
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 3: We opened Hebrews eleven.

825
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 11: And one with no funding, no money, no big family investors,

826
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 11: no business loans, didn't have great credit. It was us

827
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 11: and faith in God. That was seven years ago. But

828
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 11: I ran that business with just myself and one employee.

829
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 11: Then here comes no tax on tips. I was able

830
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 11: to hire seven more employees just by what she did,

831
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 11: not only that, able to open a second location on

832
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 11: our college campus. Things are just going off simply because

833
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 11: having now faith, and so I love the fact of

834
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 11: that scripture. Now I say all of that as to

835
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 11: I'm trying to stick to my little written down thing

836
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 11: that I wrote. I don't know how to do that

837
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 11: so well. But as a small business owner, I understand

838
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 11: how critical support is. I understand that you have to

839
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 11: have the right people that make the right policies for

840
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 11: us as small business owners. So no text on tips

841
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 11: has been a extremely blessing for me and my business.

842
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 11: Not just mine, but I know so many people across

843
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 11: the country. I know a lot of us don't want

844
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 11: to talk about the good part of it. We only

845
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 11: want to share the negative. But I'm here today to

846
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 11: tell you you've done a great thing. Thank you for

847
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 11: just loving on us and showing us that even in

848
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 11: small town Hope, Arkansas, and I have got to say this,

849
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 11: I have the best governor in the world. I don't

850
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 11: only just call Sarah my friend, I call her my sister.

851
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 11: And so that's why I am here today to just

852
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 11: tell you that no text on Tips has been an

853
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 11: amazing blessing for me. President Trump has been an amazing

854
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 11: blessing for me. And at the end of the day,

855
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 11: Jesus has been an amazing blessing for me. I love you, guys,

856
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 11: and thank you so much because I am a youth pastor,

857
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 11: but I will not preach on today.

858
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 10: I love y'all.

859
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 12: Thank you so much.

860
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 3: Thank you, good job, huh so, thank you very much, Anetta.

861
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 3: And we can't provide opportunity for the next generation if

862
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 3: we do not also have a think called law and order.

863
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 3: We need law and order. You know, Washington, d C.

864
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 3: Is amazing. It was a crime capital. It was a

865
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 3: horror show. A year ago. It was really dangerous. And

866
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 3: now it's one of the safest cities anywhere in the country.

867
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 3: And we're in Memphis, Tennessee now, where it's like a

868
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 3: different world. In four months, we've made it safe. We're

869
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 3: in Louisiana, as you know, or lots of other places,

870
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 3: and we have the lowest crime numbers that we've had

871
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 3: in many years. We have the lowest murder numbers in

872
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five years since nineteen hundred. And

873
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 3: that's despite the fact that a lot of people are here,

874
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 3: but those people have been taken out. Lots of them

875
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 3: have been taken out. That's why we stopped the invasion

876
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 3: at the southern border. And just one year ago, and

877
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 3: think of this. One year ago, we had the absolute

878
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 3: worst border that we've ever had, and now we have

879
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 3: the safest border that we've ever had. So it's going

880
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 3: to be really something one hundred and twenty five years ago,

881
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 3: that's before my father was born. I had a wonderful father,

882
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 3: but that was before. So we have murders are down

883
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 3: from one hundred and twenty five years we had the

884
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 3: best numbers. When you think about it, that's pretty incredible.

885
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 3: And those numbers are made up by Democrats. Can you

886
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 3: believe it. They don't want to give you those numbers.

887
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 3: They can add a couple of people here and there.

888
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 3: But I've also deployed the National Guard to bring back

889
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 3: safety to Memphis and to New Orleans and Washington. And

890
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 3: the National Guard has been incredible and people are safe.

891
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 3: In the case of Washington, the restaurant's world closing up.

892
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 3: People are getting really badly, badly hurt and killed. Frankly,

893
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 3: many people killed. And now you can walk down the

894
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 3: street and you have nothing to fear. We have one

895
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 3: of the safest cities in the world, and it happened

896
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 3: very fast, Bruce. One of those who knows the importance

897
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 3: of this mission is Felicia Cook, a lifelong Washingtonian who

898
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 3: tragically lost her grandson to violence in twenty seventeen. Felicia,

899
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 3: We're so sorry, and you are a spectacular person. If

900
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 3: you could say a few words, please, thank you very much. Yes,

901
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 3: come on, oh yeah, oh help her up. We don't

902
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 3: want any mistakes. Come on it. Thank you, Yes, you can,

903
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 3: thank you. I like her, please.

904
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 13: I like him too. One thing I like about him

905
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 13: he keeps it real, just like grandma. I appreciate that

906
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 13: because I can trust him because he tells exactly feel

907
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 13: and what he thinks. Thank God for this president. I

908
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 13: am filled my cup brothers over because he allowed his constituents,

909
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 13: his people to come to my house to interview me,

910
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 13: to talk about the murder of my grandson.

911
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 10: It seemed like nobody cared. I'm an advocate for murder.

912
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 3: I marched, I rallied.

913
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 13: I pulled out other families in the district of Columbia

914
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 13: that had murders and did not have answers.

915
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 10: Woo w marshally.

916
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 3: Rally and nobody heard me.

917
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 13: Democrats get mad at me until this Republican, seeing his constituency,

918
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 13: his people out there to interview me in my home.

919
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 13: Have you ever heard of a thing? Then they invited

920
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 13: me twice before Congress to testify for the beautiful bill

921
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 13: and change.

922
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 3: Crime in the district.

923
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 11: If you kill somebody, okay, you take a life, you

924
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 11: do life, just that simple.

925
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 10: If you do a harsh crime, you do harsh time.

926
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 2: Just that simple.

927
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 3: And if we need.

928
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,720
Speaker 13: National Guard, and which we did years ago, he brought

929
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 13: it on.

930
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 3: I love him.

931
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 13: I don't want to hear nothing you got to say

932
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 13: about their racist stuff.

933
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 3: And don't be looking at me on the.

934
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 13: News, hate knowing me because I'm standing up for somebody

935
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 13: that deserves to me.

936
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 10: Stay up for Get off the man's back, let him

937
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 10: do his job. He's doing the right thing.

938
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 3: Pick up off of it.

939
00:53:44,400 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 10: And Grandma said it, Wow, that's pretty good.

940
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 3: What is she running for office? It's Felicia. What are

941
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 3: you running for office? Please? You have my endorsement. You

942
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 3: have my endorsement, Felicia. Thank you, darling. That's great, not great, well,

943
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 3: and it's from the heart your little baby right, was

944
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:30,879
Speaker 3: just so horribly, horribly taken from you. Under the Trump administration,

945
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 3: we believe that no community should be abandoned to the

946
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 3: scurge of violent crime. And we're saving thousands and thousands

947
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 3: of lives and many cities, and frankly of these radical

948
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 3: left lunatic Democrats would come and say, please help us,

949
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 3: please would stop crimes all over the place, And we're

950
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 3: doing it a lot of cities. Sometimes we have to

951
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 3: force ourselves upon them because they're so bad, and I

952
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 3: don't even think they realize what's happening to their cities

953
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 3: and the towns. But every town that we go in,

954
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 3: every that we go in, like Washington, Felicia, feel much

955
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 3: safer now. Totally say, you can walk to a restaurant.

956
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 3: The restaurants were all closing. Now you can't get a restaurant.

957
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 3: And the bad news is you can't get into a restaurant.

958
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:16,240
Speaker 3: But it's a great thing to see what's happening in Washington.

959
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 3: It's like it's a hot place and hopefully people will

960
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 3: be coming in record numbers. And it's been I know,

961
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 3: we need a little help. You need help in Atlanta.

962
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 3: He just said, you're right, Atlanta, Atlanta we could. We

963
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 3: could take care of Atlanta. I'll tell you what, you

964
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 3: want to get them to call me. We could take

965
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 3: care of Atlanta so fast. They don't want to call.

966
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,919
Speaker 3: They don't want to They don't want to call because

967
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 3: they don't want to admit it and they'll never fix

968
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 3: it themselves. Don't forget. We move people out. We don't

969
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 3: just go in and you know, be tough guys. We

970
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 3: move people out. We take career criminals and we get

971
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 3: them out. We bring them back to the country from

972
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 3: where they came. And think of it, ninety percent of

973
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 3: the crime is caused by two percent of the people.

974
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 13: Thank you.

975
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 3: So when you get the criminals out, you solve a

976
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 3: lot of problems. Another way that we're fulfilling our duty

977
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 3: to the next generation is the single biggest thing that's

978
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 3: happened having to do with schools and educations called school choice.

979
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 3: In our great big beautiful bill, our bill, our beautiful bill,

980
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 3: which really covers four years, we put it all together.

981
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 3: That's why we go with the Great Big Beautiful Bill.

982
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 3: This will help millions of African American children and ensure

983
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 3: that no child is condemned to a failing government or

984
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 3: a horrible school, and we have a person here who's

994
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 12: two years and that things were gonna happen, but then

995

996
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:22,919

Speaker 12: so for that we thank you on behalf of all

999
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 12: the mothers all around the world. I'm from Texas. I

1000
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 12: live in a zip code that I didn't have an

1001
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 12: opportunity to have a choice to go to school, and

1002
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 12: so when I raised my children, I wanted a better

1003
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 12: opportunity for them. And I'm so grateful to aid scholarships

1004
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 12: and all the doors that the President is opening for education.

1005
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 12: My son was in a school that he didn't have

1006
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 12: any voice, and he found drugs in school and he died.

1007
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 12: And so I'm here today to just show my appreciation

1008
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 12: for all the moms around the world. We have a

1009
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 12: choice now. This choice is so important to mothers. I

1010
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:14,479
Speaker 12: have a child that because I had a choice, she's

1011
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 12: in private school.

1012
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 3: She's thriving. She's thriving.

1013
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 12: She's going to be an anesthesiology nurse, and she's doing great,

1014
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 12: and a scholarships was a big part of that. Changing

1015
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 12: education changes everything. Changing education changes everything. In my zip code,

1016
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 12: it feels like we were locked in a cage, and

1017
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 12: being locked in.

1018
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 9: A cage and can't get out.

1019
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 12: And because of all of the things that you're doing

1020
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 12: for education, now we can get out and soar. Our

1021
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 12: children can have a chance to be prosperous just.

1022
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 3: Like other children.

1023
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,200
