We're gonna shorten up 12 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: the headlines and get the business real quickly. But I 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: wanted to just lay out two quick things because it'll 14 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: set up our first guess. The Chairman of the House 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: Oversight Committee, James Comer. He has exposed how hundreds of 16 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: thousands of federal workers are not coming to work anymore. 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 2: They staying at home. 18 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: Some workers station in DC HA moved all the way 19 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: across the country. That leaves billions of dollars of wasted 20 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: tax dollars on keeping buildings open where nobody's working. 21 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: We're going to. 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: Tackle that at the beginning of the hour. But that's 23 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: not the only disturbing thing we're going to tell you about. 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: Just the News has confirmed that SISA, cyber Security Infrastructure 25 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: Security Agency. If that name sounds familiar, it's that's the 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: agency we've been telling you for the last year, was 27 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: somehow focusing on censorships not part of its mandate, but 28 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: it decided to censor conservative content. But you're looking right 29 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: now at an audit. This is an audit Just the 30 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: News obtained. It confirms that by SEISA was focused on censorship. 31 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: It wasn't focused on its own cybersecurity. Its name is 32 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: the Cybersecurity Protection Agency. It actually left one of its 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: key most important computer systems open, a high value asset 34 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: it's called did not have the proper security, did not 35 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: comply with its own security regulations. Point, people are just 36 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: not doing their jobs because they've been focused on things 37 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: that are not part of their core mission. This is 38 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: a great example. I want to bring in my amazing ghost, 39 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: Amanda head Amanda. Another big thing happened today. The FBI, 40 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: like Walmart many others, got out of the DEI business 41 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: just in time for Dabbletrup to become president. 42 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: Look at that. 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 4: Listen yesterday I talked about how much I love this timeline. 44 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 4: The things just keep ramping up and getting better and 45 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 4: better as we move closer into Monday. And John, by 46 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 4: the way, your first two headlines tie in with each 47 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 4: other because I firmly believe that when you have people 48 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 4: who are not showing up to work, when they are 49 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 4: working remotely, there is a cavalier attitude that is human nature, 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 4: when you don't put on your suit and you don't. 51 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 3: Show up to work. 52 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 4: And I think that when you have a bureaucracy that 53 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 4: has been allowed to stay home and sit at home 54 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 4: in their pajamas and maybe glips themselves up from the 55 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 4: shoulders up when they have to go on a zoom call, 56 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 4: when you have that type of casual, cavalier mentality, then 57 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 4: things fall through the crack. 58 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: So I think that those two stories are very closely related. 59 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: Joining us now the man who exposed all of those 60 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: stay at home bureaucats who are wasting your tax dollars. 61 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: He's the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, a good 62 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: friend of the show, and the author of a brand 63 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: new book. I love this book. All the President's Money, 64 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: You know what that's about? The big guys Joe Biden 65 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: took it there to be sure to check that book out. 66 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: Chairman James Comer, mister chairman, good to have you on 67 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: the show, sir, congrats on the book. 68 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 5: Well, thank you. It's always a pleasure to talk to 69 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 5: you guys. 70 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 6: You all tell the truth, and that's the short apply 71 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 6: in Washington. 72 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: D C. 73 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: Well, you helped a lot to get us the truth, 74 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: particularly in the Biden family. Now, particularly about this incredible 75 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: scam where federal bureaucrats we're supposed to be working in DC, 76 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: they moved all across the country. They don't show up 77 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: for work. They're renovating their offices which aren't being used. 78 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: We're getting soaked for billions of dollars. Tell us how 79 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: bad it is. From the great investigation you and your 80 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: team did. 81 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, we sought information from all the divisions and 82 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 6: departments in Washington, d C. 83 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 5: As to what percentage of the workforce is teleworking. 84 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 6: Some agencies responded, some agencies responded in part, and some 85 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 6: agencies never bothered to respond. 86 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 5: But through our digging and. 87 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 6: Through our request for information, we determined a significant percentage 88 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 6: over over fifty percent of the federal workforce. And we're 89 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 6: talking about a quarter of a million people in Washington, 90 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 6: d C. Are teleworking now, and they're teleworking anywhere between 91 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 6: three and. 92 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 5: Five days a week. That we all know. 93 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 6: From dealing with these government agencies that it's impossible to 94 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 6: get someone on the phone. 95 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 5: They're slower than they've ever been. 96 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 6: There's no evidence that teleworking has increased efficiency or productivity 97 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 6: of the federal government one bit. And we also determined 98 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 6: that some of these government buildings in Washington, d C 99 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 6: our seventy five percent or more unoccupied. Yet it costs 100 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 6: the same to maintain them. It's the same electric bill, 101 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 6: it's the same security, the same landscaping, same repairs and maintenance. 102 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 6: So what we've been trying to do is, first of all, 103 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 6: get a head count. Secondly, we want to bring all 104 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 6: these federal employees back to work. Which ones we need 105 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 6: and we'll see which ones that, hopefully President Trump can 106 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 6: get rid of. And then if there's a bunch of 107 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 6: unused office space, then allow those buildings to be developed 108 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 6: into housing or whatever the city of Washington, d C. Needs, 109 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 6: but at least get them off the taxpayers backs. 110 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: What a great idea. 111 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 4: Absolutely well, and sir, there are some pretty detrimental cascading 112 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 4: effects when you have these empty buildings because there are 113 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 4: people there, so the businesses are closing down around them, 114 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,559 Speaker 4: whether it's an eatery or some type of retail clothing shop, 115 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 4: it's increasing crime. There are a whole plethora of issues 116 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 4: that transpire when you have these empty office building. 117 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 6: That's exactly right, and that's why Mayor Muriel Bowser in Washington, 118 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 6: d C. Supports the legislation that I reintroduced yesterday, and 119 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 6: that is they show up back. And what we're trying 120 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 6: to do is get the federal workforce back to pre 121 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 6: pandemic telework levels. 122 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 5: You're always going to have employees at telework. 123 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 6: I use the example in my office, and you know, 124 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 6: I have some field representatives. They have an office, but 125 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 6: they're they're supposed to be on the road. Uh they're 126 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 6: not working from home, but they're you know, going to. 127 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 5: City gouncil meetings and. 128 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 6: Chamber of Commerce meetings and things like that. Uh, so 129 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 6: they're not going to be in their office at all times. 130 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 6: But what so, you're always gonna have a percentage. But 131 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 6: what's happened in the name of COVID, the federal employees 132 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 6: took advantage of the situation, especially under the Biden administration, 133 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 6: and they just kept expanding telework to the point to 134 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 6: where now you know, well over. 135 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 5: Half the federal employees aren't even coming to work. 136 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 6: And the reason that you're teleworking is because of COVID, 137 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 6: even though COVID ended. 138 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 5: Four years ago. 139 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 6: But but you're right, it's increased Uh, it's increased crime. 140 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 6: Where you don't have these ghost ghost sections of Washington, 141 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 6: d C. The homeless are moving in, You're getting more 142 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 6: drug deals. The restaurants and retailers that have all shut down. 143 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 6: So it's had a detrimental effect on the city of Washington, DC. 144 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 6: And that's why Mayor Bowser supports our efforts to get 145 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 6: employees back to work. 146 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: So important to have that bipartisanship and also that bill 147 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: because you've introduced it last year. This year, I bet 148 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: it gets all the way through to the President's desk. 149 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: So I want to ask about another thing. You have 150 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time showing us how agencies got 151 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: involved in ideological things and off core mission. The FBI 152 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: today announcing they're going to get rid of their DEI office. 153 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: That's a big cheer from a lot of agents, I know, 154 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: But we have a story at the top of the show. 155 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: We just mentioned the SISA, the agency we're supposed to 156 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: protect us off from cybersecurity threats. 157 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: It got into. 158 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: Censorship for a while on Joe Biden's behalf, but it 159 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: didn't protect some of its own sensitive assets. Wasn't doing 160 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: good score job for its own computers. Your thoughts on 161 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: the wayward agencies that we have right now. 162 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 6: I mean, when you get even too the cyber related 163 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 6: agencies in the federal government ares susceptible to being hacking 164 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 6: and to be in hacked and things like that. This 165 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 6: Biden administration is a complete failure from top to bottom. 166 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 5: And I think what you're going to say, one. 167 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 6: Of the priorities for Eli Musk and Ramaswami and their 168 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 6: doge that hasn't gotten a lot of coverages is modernizing, 169 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 6: updating and. 170 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 5: Making it less susceptible to be hacked. 171 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 6: And that's the information technology systems for the federal government. 172 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 5: We had this huge issue of. 173 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 6: Waste fraud abuse in the federal government in the form 174 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 6: of improper payments being sent out. You have people that 175 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 6: are accessing unemployment from foreign countries. You have people that 176 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 6: are accessing grants that are accessing SBA loans. I mean, 177 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 6: there's all sorts of mischief taking place because our software 178 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 6: systems are getting hacked. So when you've got an agency 179 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 6: that's supposed to be in charge and preventing this, that's 180 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 6: been abusing its power by doing conservative censorships anything like that, 181 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 6: but then. 182 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 5: They get hacked. 183 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 6: I mean, it just shows how incompetent the entire Biden 184 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 6: administration has been over the past four years. And January 185 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 6: twenty can't get here fast enough for the American. 186 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 3: People, that's for sure, mister Chairman. 187 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 4: We now have David Weiss's special counsel in the Hunter 188 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 4: Biden investigation. We have his report and it's pretty comprehensive. 189 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 4: But you, as Chairman of Oversight, you looked into not 190 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 4: only Hunter Biden, but Joe and James and a whole 191 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 4: plethora of Biden family associates. Your new book, All the 192 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 4: President's Men, it reads almost like a study guide with. 193 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: Respect to what the Bidens have done. I know, Joe 194 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 3: Biden's leaving office in. 195 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 4: Four days, but why is it important for the American 196 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 4: people to still know what happened there? 197 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 6: Well, the book is a forensic audit of what took 198 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 6: place over the Biden years with respect to their influence 199 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 6: peddling schemes.

When 222 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: we started this story and they've broke it in nineteen 223 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: I was called this a conspiracy theorist for a long time. 224 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: But you followed that money, you followed that evidence, of 225 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: those incredible interviews your team did that really changed the 226 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 1: course to see I arrest with some blowers. Is there 227 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: still more work to be done to make sure we 228 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: understand if there was any national security damage done by 229 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: the Biden family as a result of this grift. 230 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 6: Yes, I mean you just watch Christopher Ray's closing interview 231 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 6: in sixty minutes this week, But he said our biggest 232 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 6: threat is China. Well, why wasn't he concerned about the 233 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 6: fact that Joe Biden's family took eight million dollars from China. 234 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 5: They lied about it. 235 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 6: And then they laundered it through a series of show companies. 236 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 6: The banks caught them, the intelligence community caught them, and 237 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 6: yet nothing was ever said or done about it. In fact, 238 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 6: the indigence community went so far as to write a 239 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 6: letter with fifty one of their former intelligence officials citing it, 240 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 6: saying that that initial discovery wasn't true. So I think 241 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 6: that We've got a lot of work to do to 242 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 6: hold people accountable that were involved in the cover up. 243 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 6: Prior to doing this interview, John I sat down and 244 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 6: had a long discussion with Cash Fattel. I'm real excited 245 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 6: about his his new reigns as the director of the FBI. 246 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 6: I think that that he will be able to work 247 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 6: closely with my House Oversight Committee. We pledged to cooperate 248 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 6: with them, and I said, Cash, you're going to have 249 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 6: a tough job in getting ready, getting rid of and 250 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 6: dismantling these deep state bureaucrats in the FBI that have 251 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 6: censored conservatives, They've coordinated and colluded with the left wing 252 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 6: media to disinform and indoctrinate uh their their viewers, and 253 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 6: and you know, they've they've lost the confidence of the 254 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 6: American people. So you know, there's gonna be a lot 255 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 6: of rebuilding that's going to have to take place. 256 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 5: At the FBI in our intelligence community. 257 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 6: But more than anything, I hope that we can go 258 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 6: back and old people accountable for all the cover ups 259 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 6: and all the lies that they tell to the American people. 260 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: A lot of the people that President Trump is named 261 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: are going to be game changers, but the first game 262 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: changer when it came to the House Oversight Committee was you, 263 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: mister chairman.

The economy, our national security, and a whole. 300 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 3: Host of reasons. 301 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 4: But another big reason was to protect America's children who 302 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 4: are being subjected to sexualized content at a very young 303 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 4: age and even in America's public schools. We know the 304 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 4: Trump administration is going to do something about that at 305 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 4: the federal level, but states are working to do something 306 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 4: about it as well, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxson, 307 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 4: and what a treat. His wife is joining us as well, 308 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 4: Texas State Senator Angela Paxson, and they both join us 309 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 4: now with John from Washington. 310 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 3: D C. I have a very severe case of fomo. 311 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: Welcome to the both of you tonight. 312 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 2: Thank you, we're glad to be here. 313 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 4: Have you good to have you both, And Attorney General, 314 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 4: I want to start with you about this case before 315 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 4: the Supreme Court. The arguments yesterday tell us about the 316 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 4: case and why the American people need to keep their 317 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 4: eyes on this. 318 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 3: Because they're pretty far reaching implications. 319 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 7: So this was a statute passed by our legislature in 320 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 7: the last session that basically just required age verification for 321 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 7: people to go on porn sites. The design, obviously was 322 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 7: to protect our children from having to see this obscene material. 323 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 7: And so we ended up getting sued by this Free 324 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 7: Speech Coalition, which is really just an association of porn 325 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 7: companies hiding what they're doing. We actually got they followed 326 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 7: in a federal court. We lost, actually got an injunction, 327 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 7: of course they picked the court, and then we appealed 328 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 7: to the Fifth Circuit. We got that adjunction stayed, so 329 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 7: the law went back into effect immediately, and then this coalition, 330 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 7: of this free speech coalition then appealed to the US 331 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 7: Supreme Court, and our case was heard yesterday in front 332 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 7: of the nine justice of the US Supreme Court. And 333 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 7: you know it, I think it was a good day 334 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 7: for us, and I think I think even the other 335 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 7: side acknowledged that they that we have the right in Texas, 336 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 7: we have a compelling interest to regulate these porn sites 337 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 7: as it relates to children. They didn't dispute really the 338 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 7: basic principle here. What they disputed was, well, you did 339 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 7: it in the wrong way. You can't do it this 340 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 7: way and that way. They didn't have the pr problem 341 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 7: of arguing that we couldn't regulate these for kids. They 342 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 7: didn't want to say that, but they want to stop 343 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 7: us from doing this particular way because guess what, it's 344 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 7: the way that works and the ways that they suggested 345 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 7: wouldn't work and they'd continue to make their profits off 346 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 7: these kids. 347 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: So pretty amazing case because at the end of the day, 348 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: your wife is part of the legislature that passes this, 349 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: while she's a driving force behind it. 350 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 2: And then many other. 351 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: State senator follow Texas, right, You got Virginia, many other 352 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: states that follow the lead of this. So this case 353 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: has international or that nationwide. 354 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: Impact, isn't it? 355 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 8: It really does, And I'm really just so appreciative, Thanks 356 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 8: dear for your great work on this, because when Texas 357 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 8: is able to pass legislation like this and then we 358 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 8: get the cover that we'll have when we win this case, 359 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 8: then it really lets us run blocker for all the 360 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 8: other states. It's such an important issue protecting our kids. 361 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 8: I was a teacher and school counselor for twenty years 362 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 8: before I went into the Senate, so this is really 363 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 8: really important to me, personally important. 364 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: Amazing Centater. 365 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 4: I want to stay on you because John and I 366 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 4: this along with your husband, Attorney General Ken Pax, and 367 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 4: the strife among Republicans in the state House. 368 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 3: I know that the State Senate obviously is. 369 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 4: Very different, but for Republicans in Texas are they are 370 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 4: they pretty tightly tightly united right now? 371 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 8: Well, you know, the House and the Senator two different 372 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 8: animals in a lot of ways. I'm really thankful. For example, 373 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 8: the age verification bill. You know, we passed that unanimously. 374 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 8: All thirty one senators voted for this bill in the 375 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 8: Texas Senate. There were other pieces of legislation on this 376 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 8: same issue though, for example, some legislation that I carried 377 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 8: that we passed in the Senate to protect kids in 378 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 8: their school libraries. You know, that's that's kind of common 379 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 8: sense as well. Your kids shouldn't be exposed to this 380 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 8: stuff in a school library. House did not take up 381 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 8: that bill. We also passed a device filter bill, which 382 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 8: actually kind of came up in the hearing, is another 383 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 8: method of regulating. We passed that in the Senate and 384 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 8: it was not taken up by the House. So you know, 385 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 8: we have a new speaker, but it's it's still unclear 386 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 8: that it looks much better for these kinds of things. 387 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 8: And you know, I am praying as a as a 388 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 8: person of faith that will have good things. I know 389 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 8: that in the Senate though, we're very committed to this, 390 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 8: and I know there are a lot of new House 391 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 8: members who are going to be committed to making sure 392 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 8: we do good things, and kN worked really hard to electy. 393 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 2: I guess some of them as a result of the 394 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 2: work that the General did. 395 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, there is a moment now where I think people 396 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: will appreciate the weaponization because it's going to get exposed 397 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: moment by moment with people like cashpital Pan BONDI of 398 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: all the people that I've covered in the last five years, 399 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: I can't think of another person who went through more, 400 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: saw more of the Biden administration, more of the administrative 401 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: state go after than US ER, SEC, FBI, impeachment. You 402 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: defeated them all, and I think the most recent one 403 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: is the f I just recently informed you that thing's 404 00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: done finally. 405 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: Right, Yes, that's great. 406 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 9: Yeah. 407 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 2: I had the FDI for four years. 408 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 7: As soon as Biden came it off, they started investigating me. 409 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,719 Speaker 7: Spent who knows how much money, millions of dollars. 410 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 3: You know. 411 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 7: I had three felony charges from the state. I had 412 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 7: the state bar trying to take my life's away. That's 413 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 7: not resolved, that's almost resolved. I had just civil lawsuits. 414 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: I've spent. 415 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 7: You know, it's been millions of dollars of legal fees 416 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 7: and a job that pays, you know, relatively small amount, 417 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 7: and they know that, so they get you in these 418 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 7: positions where you're not making a lot of money and 419 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 7: then you incur large legal fees and a lot of 420 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 7: people just in the fight because they can't afford it. 421 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: Man, the process becomes the punishment. You told me something 422 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: that was wrong, because I had never heard this since 423 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: you told me today. But in the SEC files you 424 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: got the discovery you had been cleared before they decided 425 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: to pursue you. 426 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, it was in the file. 427 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 7: The attorney had made an assessment that there was nothing 428 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 7: here unbelievable, and and that's when we went We went 429 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 7: to the we started going through the process. I got 430 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 7: dismissed out of all three on a motion to dismiss, 431 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 7: which means you have to assume everything they said. 432 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 2: Was true and you're still cleared. And that happened twice. 433 00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: They refiled after I won. 434 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 7: That, and they came back and tried it again, and 435 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 7: we won again. 436 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 2: So I won twice. 437 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 7: But it costs a lot of money and they know that, 438 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 7: and then there's no apology afterwards. There's they don't reimburse 439 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 7: you for the million dollars you just incurred in legal bills. 440 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 7: And if you have to go very far in the process, 441 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 7: you might have to spend ten money. You might have 442 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 7: to bail and just confess to something. 443 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: Just to get out of it. And the headline when 444 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 2: you're accused is this big. And the headline when you 445 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 2: were cleared. 446 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 7: It is about that it was very buried in very 447 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 7: little coverage. 448 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 4: Just terribly Yeah, they never go out of their way 449 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 4: to correct the record. I actually want to follow up 450 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 4: on something with respect to the Supreme Court case because 451 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 4: we have all seen these vulgar, disgusting materials in these books. 452 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 4: Most most of the time they have to do with 453 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 4: with gender bending and things like. 454 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 3: That that are in elementary school libraries. 455 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 4: Within the context of this case, what's considered pornographic? 456 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 7: So, I mean, I think that the Supreme Court said 457 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 7: a long time ago, I forgot which Jess, I think 458 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 7: it's Justice Steveson said, I don't know. I don't know 459 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 7: how to legally describe porn. You just know it when 460 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 7: you see it, So I don't I don't know that 461 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 7: we have a real definition. I think it goes back 462 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 7: to that that one case, and I think everybody kind 463 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 7: of does know it when they see it. 464 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 8: Well, you know, the other thing is that when you 465 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 8: see it, you can't unsee it, and a child cannot 466 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 8: unsee this stuff. And you know, in Texas law we 467 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 8: define it as harmful material. So it's it really is 468 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 8: important you know, as as kids are growing up, when 469 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 8: adults get addicted to this stuff, and it is addicted. 470 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 8: When they get addicted, it rewires their brains. But when 471 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 8: children get addicted, it's not rewiring, it's wiring their brains. 472 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 8: They're still in that process. And so that's one of 473 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 8: the reasons the garification is such an effective It's it's 474 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 8: an effective tool to prevent access for miners, but it's 475 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 8: also an effective tool for minors because the earlier, the 476 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 8: longer you can delay exposure, then the less likely a 477 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 8: person is to become addicted. 478 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: Really important thing. That's why intervening the way you have 479 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: done in Texas is so important. So I talked about 480 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: one legacy, which is the legacy of being weaponized by 481 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: your political enemies using the gestion system. Another one that 482 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: I think your people will look back at your tenure 483 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: in history and say, is you took state rights at 484 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: one of the maybe one of the greatest threats to 485 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: states in history, the Big Biden regulation that one hundred 486 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: and three law suits. 487 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 5: I have that right, I think we're about we're at 488 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 5: one hundred and four. 489 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 7: We're not We're not done. 490 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 9: You're not done. 491 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 5: We're done. 492 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 2: Oh, I think I hear. 493 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: How important was it to use the courts and to 494 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: exert state rights and to roll back this incredible intrusion 495 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: on the American people. 496 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 7: Look, I think it was really important that we did this. 497 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 7: Twenty seven law suits against Biden, I mean Obama and 498 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 7: then one hundred and four. 499 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 2: Right now against Biden. 500 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 7: If the states don't stand up. You know, the Constitution 501 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 7: was set up. The states are the one that created 502 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 7: the federal government, and they gave them certain powers and 503 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 7: they reserve the rest, and that's ignored so often. I 504 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 7: was told the tenth Amendment and my constitucial law class 505 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 7: was irrelevant. Well know what it is relevant. We've made 506 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 7: it relevant because we've fought back and we've held them 507 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 7: from just literally running us over and ignoring not just 508 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 7: the States, but the Congress and the courts, and just 509 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 7: ignoring separation of powers and becoming more like, you know, 510 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 7: a one party system and also a one branch system, 511 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 7: which is what a lot of countries end up doing. 512 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 7: And unfortunately, we've been able to at least stop a 513 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 7: lot of the really bad stuff that they were trying 514 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 7: to accomplish, which was completely unconstitutional. 515 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: To related too, because you did that so well, that's 516 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: why they came after.

Gets credit 578 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 2: for that. 579 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: Something in the medical world that's been pursued for year, 580 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: red dye three getting taken out suddenly something Donald Trump 581 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: and Robert F. Kenny, there's a Trump factor already at 582 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: work and he's not even in office yet. 583 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 2: How does that happen? 584 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 10: Well, You've described it exactly. Let's take the situation with 585 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 10: a loss in the Gaza strip that never happens if 586 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 10: it wasn't for Donald Trump's presence. I was taught by 587 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 10: one of my mentors, a fellow position. He said, once 588 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 10: you lose your reputation, you never get it back. Joe 589 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 10: Biden lost his rep mutation when when they when they 590 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 10: got out of Afghanistan. And basically we've had a horrible 591 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 10: foreign policy since then. But now these folks, these thugs 592 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 10: were in the Middle East. Respect Donald Trump. Again, I 593 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 10: think about the moment that he took out SOLOMENTI or 594 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 10: whatever his name was. Ye forgive me uh with with 595 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 10: President she was there at the dining room table. So 596 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 10: ever since then, I think he's had these uh, these 597 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 10: thugs on the run. And surely again this, this peace 598 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 10: treaty would not have happened without President Trump. 599 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 2: Amazing. 600 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 4: I think we'll spot on, Senator, A big part of 601 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 4: what is projected to be a golden age or a 602 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 4: gilded age is going to be what happens with our economy. 603 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 4: And for Scott Bessant, presumably at Treasury, what does that 604 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 4: look like? 605 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 3: What can he do? 606 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 4: Because I remember some iconic moments with Secretary Yellen where 607 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 4: in an interview she's she's incredulous that Americans are experiencing 608 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 4: sticker shock. You know, inflation is transitory. Are we going 609 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 4: to see anything like that from Treasury this time around? 610 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 10: Well, I think John and I were talking earliers. We're 611 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 10: going to see some common sense out of the Treasury 612 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 10: for once, and also just respect for small businesses, for 613 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 10: main street, for those folks back home, hardworking Americans. Scott 614 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 10: has a very unique life experiences. He comes from the 615 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 10: Low Country of South Carolina, a small, small city. He 616 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 10: got his first job when he was nine years of age. 617 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 10: He's come through the community banking industry, he's invested in agriculture. Yes, 618 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 10: he's had a successful Wall Street career. But I think 619 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 10: most importantly, he understands how important these Trump tax cuts are, 620 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 10: that we have to make those permanent. When those occurred 621 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 10: back in twenty seventeen, the average Kansas family got to 622 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 10: keep one thousand dollars each month of their own hard 623 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 10: earned money. So he gets that how important it is 624 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 10: to again hard working Americans, and I think that's going 625 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 10: to be his priority. I'll make one final point, is 626 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 10: that ninety percent of Rule America voted for President Trump, 627 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 10: and President Trump understands that and he wants to make 628 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 10: good on his promises to bring prosperity to all. 629 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: Another nominee that I think impressed, and there was a 630 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: lot of media bill that made me suggesting he wouldn't 631 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: get through the confirmation process. But Pete heg Seth, the 632 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: Defense Secretary designated, had a really strong hearing this week. 633 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on his chances of getting through, getting confirmed 634 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: and starting to rewire that Pentagon so it focuses on 635 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: war not the EI. 636 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 10: Yeah, he's going to get through. I haven't heard one 637 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 10: Republican say otherwise. Maybe there'll be one or two dissenting votes, 638 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 10: but I think he's going to get through. I think 639 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 10: Pete was steady as a rock through there. I think 640 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 10: he's going to address the two of the major issues 641 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 10: there in our military. One is recruiting and two is 642 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 10: morale right now. Even my son had just finished up 643 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 10: a year long two ruler in Poland. He came back 644 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 10: just concerned about the morale there in the army. Pete 645 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,479 Speaker 10: sat down with him. He just happened to be here 646 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 10: when Pete was coming through. They set down for ten 647 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 10: or fifteen minutes, they'd still be talking if I didn't say, hey, Pete, 648 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 10: I'm the Senator. Can we talk about can you answer 649 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 10: a few of my questions as well? But he's going 650 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 10: to be a great recruiter, and I think he's going 651 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 10: to be, you know, priority again, the priorities are going 652 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 10: to be the war fighters and not the military industrial base. 653 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 4: Exciting speaking of those confirmations, I know that there are 654 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 4: a lot of agencies in Washington that are quite calcified, 655 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 4: but perhaps. 656 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 3: None so much as the FBI. For Calcitrond to change, what. 657 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 4: Do you think is going to look like for cash 658 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 4: Mattel As far as his path forward through the process, well. 659 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 10: Well, Kash and I have had some great conversations, and 660 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 10: I've known him now for the past couple of years. 661 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 10: And yes, he's going to get some heat because he's 662 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 10: a game changer that he's not going to go about 663 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 10: the way things have always been. 664 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 5: I love what he said. 665 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 10: He said, I would take the entire FBI building. I 666 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 10: think it's seven eight thousand employees. He said, look, you've 667 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 10: all got a badge and a gun, go chase bad guys. 668 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 10: Let's shut this building down and get those people out 669 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 10: on the streets and working, and certainly if you're working 670 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 10: from home. One of the things I'm hearing out of 671 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 10: every one of these and eases, we're bringing employees back 672 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 10: to the office. But I think that cash is going 673 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 10: to do a great job and bring back respect and 674 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 10: trust for the FBI. 675 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: Senator, you're such a great champion for your state, and 676 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: you rightly noted that President Trump won by such almost 677 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: historic numbers in rural America. What are some of the 678 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: most important rural America agenda items of Donald Trump and 679 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: the Senate the House can get done this year. 680 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 5: Yeah. 681 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 10: When you think about rural America, doesn't it start with agriculture. 682 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 10: And we saw record drop in net farm income last 683 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 10: year under the Joe Biden policies. So interest rates impact farmers. 684 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 10: Anything that impacts small businesses is going to impact farmers 685 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 10: as well. So the regulatory environment and lowering the interest 686 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 10: rate would be right up there. We have record high 687 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 10: input costs and that would mean the price of diesel 688 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 10: and fertilizer, both driven by the price of price of 689 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 10: gas and oil as well. So I think President Trump's 690 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 10: putting energy as a priority now will drive down those 691 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 10: input costs as well for the farmer, and really just 692 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 10: getting control of our budget is going to help bring 693 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 10: down those interest rates. Again, That's why someone like Scott 694 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 10: Beston's going to be a great Trasury Secretary because he 695 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 10: understands how important getting those interest rates down is, and 696 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 10: they're not going to come down until the federal government 697 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 10: gets our spending under control. 698 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 2: That's a great point, no doubt about it, Senator. 699 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 4: Last night, President Biden delivered his farewell address, and one 700 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 4: of the things that he talked about was a dangerous 701 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 4: concentration of power and oligarchy. 702 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 3: He seemed to lean in heart on the tech community. 703 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 4: He didn't seem to have a problem with them when 704 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 4: they were spending, in the case of Zuckerberg, four hundred 705 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 4: million dollars on supporting his campaign, and yet now that 706 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 4: they are CosIng up to President Trump during the beginning 707 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 4: of his administration. 708 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 3: Now it's an issue. 709 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 710 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, So this is the pot calling the kettle black, right. 711 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 10: I think the bigger question we would have for Joe 712 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 10: Biden is the concentration of the power of those people 713 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 10: that were really running the White House. Whoever those people are, 714 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 10: We're still looking for them. But that's where the concentration 715 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 10: of power. Was what I see out of President Trump 716 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 10: is he's picting a very diverse group of people to 717 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 10: lead these agencies. There's fifteen secretary level positions up here 718 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 10: and then over four hundred federal agencies that have to 719 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 10: be led as well. So I see President Trump a 720 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 10: mix a group of people, but they're all accomplished, they're 721 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 10: all good communicators. But we all know where the ball stops, right, 722 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 10: and that's at President Trump's death. So I'm just so 723 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 10: ready to move on from Joe Biden. I had people 724 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 10: texting me last night. I can hardly repeat some of 725 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 10: the things that they were saying, but just happy that 726 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 10: that was Joe Biden's last appearance. They were asking me 727 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 10: for prescriptions for vomiting medicine. So anyway, it's time to 728 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 10: move on. 729 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: You and I must have had some similar friends on 730 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: those text chains last night. 731 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 2: I got a similar way.

And the night before that, the Prime Minister 808 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 11: left the negotiation room at four am. 809 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 9: So you can imagine. 810 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 11: How difficult, how frustrating, and how tired the team. 811 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 9: Was by that time. And now the work. 812 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 11: Begins as implementing the deal and it's on right is 813 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 11: a big task. 814 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 9: It's an easy thing to embark on. 815 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 11: We tried it before in twenty twenty three and the 816 00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 11: short paths in November. But we are happy to reporte 817 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 11: that everything is on track now over the past to 818 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 11: begin on Sunday. 819 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really great news for the world. 820 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: A lot of people may not know this, but in 821 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: my own reporting, Katara plays such an important role, not 822 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: only in negotiating here between Israel Hamas, but sometimes with 823 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine. Talk a little bit about the jet 824 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: setting diplomacy that your Prime minister does often and how 825 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: it benefits the United States. 826 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 11: Well, I'll tell you the Prime Minister doesn't like me 827 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 11: talking about him a lot in interviews, and I know 828 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 11: that you will get this banking as soon as as 829 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 11: I meet him tomorrow. But the Prime Minister spends a 830 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 11: lot of his time working between parties Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela 831 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 11: and the United States, Iran and Israel, and Iran and 832 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 11: the United States in Afghanistan of course, with the deal 833 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 11: broker the under President Trump in his first term to 834 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 11: end the longest war in US history. 835 00:39:58,440 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 9: In all of. 836 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 11: These media that actually spanned back to nineteen sixty two 837 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 11: when the Aviander Codes were signed in the residence of 838 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 11: the Katari ruler at the time in Geneva. There was 839 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 11: one thing in mind. We're a small country, you know, 840 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,760 Speaker 11: Katlack's population is three million. Ten percent of that population 841 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 11: our Kataries. But we have always been able to push 842 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,879 Speaker 11: and the punche above our weight for two reasons. One, 843 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 11: it's the tenacity of our people, the type of five people. 844 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 9: You know, it's in our DNA. 845 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 11: Even our founder when he described Katak he said, Cutary 846 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 11: is the mecha of the oppressed.

You know, 863 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 11: our relationship with the United States has always been a 864 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,720 Speaker 11: posital part of our foreign policy. 865 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 9: We have been. 866 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 11: Designated as a major non NATO ally by the United States. 867 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 11: We have a strategic dialogue every year, and the biggest 868 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,760 Speaker 11: base for the US outside is is here in Doha, 869 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 11: and at a date with more than twelve thousand servicemen 870 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 11: and women serving here in Qatar. 871 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 9: And therefore the relationship is integrable to. 872 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 11: Our exists, it's integral to our foreign policy, and it's 873 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 11: integral to how we view ourselves in the world today 874 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 11: and therefore being able to play the spot in international 875 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 11: piece and security is our you know, paying back our 876 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 11: dividends to the international community and to the help that 877 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 11: we get from all our apartments aboard, especially the United States. 878 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: A small country with an outsized diplomatic mission. It's really 879 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: really amazing what has happened over the years. So I 880 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: want to ask a little bit about the dynamic change, 881 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: because actually your country helped reach this deal back in May. 882 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,799 Speaker 1: It just didn't get off the ground. There was some 883 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: resistance and back and forth. President Trump wins the election. 884 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 1: Talk about the Trump factor and how that may have 885 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,319 Speaker 1: changed a little bit of the dynamics and the negotiation. 886 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 9: Now, John, you want to put me on the spot here, 887 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,720 Speaker 9: but I'll take it, okay. 888 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 11: I can tell you very clearly that we highly appreciate 889 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 11: the partnership with President Trump. I just told you, you know, 890 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 11: during his first term as president, one of the biggest 891 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 11: mediations because that has ever embarked on one of the 892 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 11: most difficult mediations Cuta has ever embarked on, succeeded because 893 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,919 Speaker 11: of the determination of the Trump administration at the time 894 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 11: to reach a deal and that led to the end 895 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 11: of the war in Afghanistan. We are still working over 896 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 11: there in coordination with our partners in the US to 897 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 11: see that the afghan see a better day coming in 898 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 11: their future. And therefore we believe in the determination of 899 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 11: President Trump to create peace. And the moment that President 900 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 11: Trump came and said, you know, on social media and 901 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 11: in his official statements, I want this done now, that 902 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 11: has changed the dynamic on the ground. And we saw, 903 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 11: especially from the side of different dynamic and the negotiations. 904 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 11: We saw both sides engaging more fluently in the discussions. 905 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,840 Speaker 11: And obviously when mister Wetcalf came here to the region, 906 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 11: that was a big push towards ending this war, a 907 00:43:58,640 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 11: big push towards. 908 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 9: Reaching this cease fire. 909 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 11: And I can tell you that his visit to Tel 910 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,359 Speaker 11: Aviv and his talks with Prime Minister here and door, 911 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 11: and he was with us yesterday until the last minute. 912 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 11: He was the last to leave yesterday when we were, 913 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 11: you know, doing the press conference and after the press conference, 914 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 11: and he attended the press conference with the Prime Minister, 915 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 11: and he attended that moment when we were celebrating together, 916 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 11: you know, the end of more than four hundred days 917 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:29,320 Speaker 11: of negotiations post the failure of the first pause, and therefore, 918 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 11: we highly appreciate the Trump factor, as you said, John, 919 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 11: and this situation, and we highly appreciate that President Trump 920 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 11: made sure that his team worked in tantum with the 921 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 11: Biden administration's team. And I think the uniqueness here was 922 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 11: both administrations on the ground at the same time working 923 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 11: together to make sure that this happens. Regardless of the 924 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 11: fact that you are seeing an outgoing administration and incoming administration. 925 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,719 Speaker 11: Both administrations are working together to reach this deal. And 926 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 11: this is something we appreciate in our relationship with the 927 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:03,720 Speaker 11: United States. Our partnership with the United States transcends administrations, 928 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 11: transcend the political divide because it's a strategic relationship. The 929 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,759 Speaker 11: soul is based on the interests of both the United 930 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 11: States and cut out and the partnership between the people 931 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 11: of the United States and the people have got that. 932 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty amazing. 933 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: So we only got a minute, laught real quickly, what's next? 934 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 1: What are the next benchmarks we should be watching for 935 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: after Sunday? 936 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 11: Well, as you know, John, the devils in the details, 937 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 11: we will be seeing a lot of you know, many 938 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 11: negotiations happening during the implementation.

The 942 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 11: main two things to be watching right now are the 943 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,399 Speaker 11: prisoner exchanges, how they are happening on the ground, how 944 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 11: successful they are and how they stick to the articles 945 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 11: of the deal.

Looked 1005 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: just I get a specific reason for his mugshot. 1006 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And just as you were talking about that, 1007 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 4: my earring fell out of my ear. 1008 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 3: The back is still stuck in the back of my ear. 1009 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,720 Speaker 4: Anyway, I want to ask you about President Biden's farewell 1010 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 4: address last night because the tone he started off by 1011 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 4: taking credit for the hostagencies fire deal. But it seemed 1012 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 4: to me that for a lot of Americans. This was 1013 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 4: less a farewell speech and more a frankly good ridden speech. 1014 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1015 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 1: Listen, he came in lying and he left a crying 1016 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,319 Speaker 1: And I think that he's going to be one of 1017 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 1: the smallest presidents in terms of success, in trust and 1018 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 1: popularity in our history. And that's that will be his 1019 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 1: punishment for lying his way into office, mishandling most of 1020 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,760 Speaker 1: the office while I was here, even breaking a promise 1021 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 1: at the end of pardon his son he does it, 1022 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,279 Speaker 1: and really keeping covered up from all of us all 1023 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 1: the good work that James Comer ultimately got to that 1024 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: we talked about today, which is the corruption in his family. 1025 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: His family was drifting on their name, putting national security 1026 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,440 Speaker 1: at risk. And I don't think history will look kindly back. 1027 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 1: And then a lot of people get a chance to 1028 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 1: rehab themselves. I don't think he's going to be one 1029 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:25,280 Speaker 1: of them. 1030 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, he started off lying, he went through his presidency 1031 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 4: spying and crying. He's going to finish off lying and 1032 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:33,279 Speaker 4: his reputation will be dying. 1033 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 2: Oh I look at that. You're a poet and you 1034 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 2: didn't need. 1035 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:39,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1036 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 4: I don't know if I can claim that, but anyway, John, 1037 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 4: great to see it tonight and great to have all 1038 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,359 Speaker 4: of you joining us this evening on our TV show, 1039 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,439 Speaker 4: and we will be back here tomorrow night at six 1040 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 4: game Eastern on Real America's Voice. 1041 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 3: Stay safe, be blessed.
