1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: I want to say this, we have now a strong border.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: A year and a half ago, we had millions of

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: people pouring through. Now we have nobody coming in through

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: a border, and we have a strong country.

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: We have a country that's respecting it.

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 1: We're going to keep it that way, and we're not

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: going to let people kill three hundred thousand people a

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: year with drugs.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 3: Fraud that you've been pointing out talking about in Minnesota specifically,

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 3: there have been some reports resurfacing and circulating, even by

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 3: your own administration, alleging ilhan Omar's marriage to her brother,

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 3: and this would be a fraudulent situation if they're in fact,

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 3: is found to be fraud. In a situation like that,

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 3: would you like to see her denaturalized or others who

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: have similarly committed well.

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: I think she's very bad for our country. All she

17
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: does is complain, complain, complain. She comes out of a

18
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: country where they have no government, they have no military,

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: they have no police, they got no nothing, they don't

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: have a country, and they run.

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 2: Around killing each other.

22
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: And then she comes over here she tells the United

23
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: States of America how it should be run.

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: We don't want to hear from her I don't want

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: to hear from her.

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to speak for Emma, but I don't

27
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: think I'm particularly horse here.

28
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: But don't say it because I don't want to get

29
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: you in trouble. Okay, just be nice and easy, all right,

30
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 2: I'll do it for you, but that part i'll do.

31
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: But I just want to say that is nothing worse

32
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: than a person that comes in and does nothing but

33
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: bitch and comes from a place where she shouldn't be

34
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: telling us what to do.

35
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: She shouldn't be telling us. And everybody agrees with me.

36
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: And what's happening in Minnesota with Somalia where billions of

37
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: dollars is being stolen, right like candy from a baby.

38
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: We're not going to let that go on. And it's

39
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: too great a state to have that happening. And guys

40
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: like Tom Emmer and others, Pete Starber, guys like them,

41
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: they're going to stop it, and they're going to be

42
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: given the authority to stop it because this country is

43
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: not going to put up.

44
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: With it anyway. You talked about land strikes happening soon.

45
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 4: Is there anything at this point that can prevent that?

46
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 4: And is the objective if you make that decision.

47
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: But it's not only land strikes on Venezuela.

48
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: It's land strikes on horrible people that are bringing in

49
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: drugs and killing our people. You know, if we were

50
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: in a war and we lost three hundred thousand people

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: in a year, because that's what the real number is,

52
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: it's not one hundred, you know, you keep hearing one hundred,

53
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: and it's a lot worse than that because the families

54
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: are devastated when they lose their child. If we were

55
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: in a war, we lost two or three one hundred thousand,

56
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: but I think it's more than three hundred thousand.

57
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: That's a war.

58
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: That's like a war that would be unparalleled as nobody's

59
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: ever seen anything like that.

60
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: And that's what's happening.

61
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: So it doesn't necessarily happen to be in Venezuela's people

62
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: that are bringing in drugs to our country or targets present.

63
00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 5: At the end of this year, those extended obamacareies expire.

64
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 5: What's your message to those twenty four million Americans who

65
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 5: will see their insurance premiums go on?

66
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: Making sound so bad because you know, obviously you're a

67
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, sink, a fan for Democrats. You're obviously a

68
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: provider of bad news for Republicans. Let me just say

69
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: something the Republicans. I think I can speak for Tom

70
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: and most other people. I think what most Republicans want

71
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: to see what is what I want to see, And

72
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: I leave it to them, and hopefully they're going to

73
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: put great legislation on this desk right here. We want

74
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: to see all of the money that's been squandered and

75
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: given to insurance company because Obamacare is horrible health insurance.

76
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: It's far too expensive and it always has been. But

77
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: what it really is is a way of making insurance

78
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: companies rich. We want the money not to be paid

79
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: at all to insurance companies. You know, insurance companies have

80
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: gone up seventeen hundred percent over a short meaning to

81
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: stop seventeen hundred.

82
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: Percent over a short period of time, and.

83
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: They've taken in hundreds of billions and even trillions of dollars.

84
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: And we want the money to go to the people.

85
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: They'll go in the form of a insurance account, healthcare account,

86
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: or any other form.

87
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: That we can create with a lot of different forms.

88
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: We want to give the money to the people and

89
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: let the people buy their own great healthcare and they'll

90
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: save a lot of money and it'll be great.

91
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 6: Now.

92
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: The problem we have is that the Republicans are not

93
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: at all controlled by the insurance companies, but you know

94
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: who is, the Democrats.

95
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: The Democrats have.

96
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: Received hundreds of millions of dollars. They're totally controlled by

97
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: the insurance companies.

98
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: So we might not get.

99
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Too many of their votes, but I actually think we

100
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: get some Democrat votes.

101
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: So I don't know how you feel.

102
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: About the time, but everybody wants to see this happen, everybody,

103
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: you know. I put it out and all of a sudden,

104
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: we've taken over in a positive way. The Republicans have

105
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: taken over healthcare in a positive way.

106
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: I want to see the billions.

107
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: Of dollars go to the people, not to the insurance companies,

108
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: and I want to see the people go out and

109
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: buy themselves great healthcare, much better healthcare at very little cost.

110
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: That's what I want. And it's so simple.

111
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 7: Publicans said they won't vote for an Obamacarriac extension deal

112
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 7: if it includes funding for abortion.

113
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: Would you assure those Republicans that you will not propose Well, we're.

114
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: Going to look into it. We're going to look into

115
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: a lot of things. That's one of many factors. But

116
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: what we do want to see is we want to

117
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: see the money go to the people, not to the insurance.

118
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait you have to She's okay, please thanks us.

119
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 8: President.

120
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 9: Can you tell us how this free economic zone would

121
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 9: work in the dawn bas and in Land that the

122
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 9: Russians took by force?

123
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: I want to do that now.

124
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: It's very complex situation, but it would work, and a

125
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: lot of people want to see it, and we're going to.

126
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: All I want to do is I want to.

127
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: Stop the death of twenty five thousand people a month

128
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: go ahead.

129
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 3: There were new Epstein photos released today showing you and

130
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 3: also Bill Clinton Steve Bannon.

131
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 10: What were your reaction to those new photos that were released.

132
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: Well, I haven't seen it, but I mean everybody knew

133
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: this band. He was all over Palm Beach, has photos

134
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: with everybody.

135
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean almost there are hundreds and hundreds of people

136
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: that are photos with them, So that's no big deal.

137
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: I know nothing about it.

138
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 4: The role do you want to personally play in the

139
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 4: decision by the Fed on interest rates?

140
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I've made a lot of money, I've

141
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: been very successful, and I think my role should be

142
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: at least that of a recommending. They don't have to

143
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: follow what I say, but we're going to be choosing

144
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: a new FED person in the pretty near future.

145
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: But they went out, you know, they went out.

146
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: With seventy one different people, all economists and Trump.

147
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: I was seventy one. And of the seventy one people,

148
00:06:59,120 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: I got it right.

149
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: I had one other person, I think from the Wharton

150
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: School of Finance, my alma mon I got it right.

151
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: There were two people that got it write out of set,

152
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: but I was one of them.

153
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: So I think I certainly should have a role in

154
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: talking to whoever the head of the FED is or

155
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: the FED. I don't think that, you know, the old

156
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: days that used to happen nowadays is sort of they

157
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: think it shouldn't happen. But I've done great. I've been

158
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: a lot of money, been very successful. I think my

159
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: voice should be heard, but I'm not going to make

160
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: the decision based on that. I'll be making a decision

161
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: over the next few weeks.

162
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 11: Thank you all very much.

163
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: Let's go.

164
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 3: Thank you, nank you Press, Let's go, let's go head

165
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: out if.

166
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 12: You join you press. Thank you.

167
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 8: All right, folks, welcome back. You've been watching President Trump

168
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 8: He began by signing a bill honoring or an executive

169
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 8: order honoring that great miracle on ice team, the nineteen

170
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 8: eighties Olympic team that won the Olympics in New York

171
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 8: again more powerful. So it's really remarkable to have seen

172
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 8: that group still around and kicking and celebrating one of

173
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 8: the great moments. As America is about to enter into

174
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 8: a great era of sports, admitted, We've got the five

175
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 8: for World Cup come up next year, and then in

176
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 8: twenty twenty, your hometown of Los Angeles gets the Olympics.

177
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 6: A lot of big things happening on that front. I

178
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 6: saw today.

179
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 8: Congress is going to hold a hearing to make sure

180
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 8: that human trafficking, which often happens around these international events,

181
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 8: doesn't happen on oursorrow. That's a good thing. I heard

182
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 8: some headlines here. President Trump going to name a FED

183
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 8: chairman soon. He told the Wall Street Journal He's got

184
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 8: two candidates, are his favorite. One of them is national,

185
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 8: and now I'm the council advisor Kevin Hasset, who's been

186
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 8: on this show. And then he also said, I know

187
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 8: what I want to.

188
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 6: Do on healthcare.

189
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 8: I want to make it more affordable and I want

190
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 8: to give any subsidies that the government does give directly

191
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 8: to the people, not to insurance companies. I'm some pretty

192
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 8: big headlines.

193
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 13: Absolutely.

194
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 7: You know, President Trump is the king of business, especially

195
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 7: compared to other presidents. And he said, you know, I

196
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 7: want the American people to be able to purchase their insurance,

197
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 7: want it to have to be something that is mandated

198
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 7: by the government, and you had to create competition across

199
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 7: state lines. That's something else that he has advocated for.

200
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 7: But going back to this nineteen eighty team, I unfortunately

201
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 7: wasn't born yet, but I've seen a lot of documentaries

202
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 7: about it, and as I understand that the Soviets had

203
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 7: not lost an Olympic game since nineteen sixty seven at

204
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 7: that point, team.

205
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 6: I mean, it was the ultimate David and Goliath. I

206
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 6: remember watching it.

207
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 8: I was coming home from a Catholic grammar school basketball

208
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 8: game with my dad, who was my coach, and we

209
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 8: came down and we watched that last game and nobody

210
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 8: could imagine. And that was a very young Al Michaels,

211
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 8: who's now a legendary sports caster.

212
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 6: He called the.

213
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 8: Greatest game I've ever saw called on TV. It was

214
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 8: a moment of great pride from everybody.

215
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 6: Jim Craig, the.

216
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 8: Goalie, you know who it was, this character out of

217
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 8: Central casting, out of Boston to Al Michael has really

218
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 8: made his name that day and he's never stopped being

219
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 8: a great sports caster ever since. So great to see

220
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 8: the President honor of that kind of cue up the

221
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 8: next year years of great celebration in American sports. There's

222
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 8: something happened this morning that really caught my attention. I

223
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 8: was so proud of it. All the families and angel

224
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 8: families who lost people to crimes on the border were

225
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 8: assembled around Arizona Congressman Ab Homedy, a great friend of

226
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 8: the show, and he introduced legislation to create a memorial

227
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 8: to honor every American loss to the border crimes. Under

228
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 8: Joe Biden, we were lucky to grab Arizona Congressman Ab

229
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 8: Homiday on the phone a well while ago, just as

230
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 8: President was talking have a listen and have a watch,

231
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 8: and what we talked about some big ideas and this

232
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 8: day was a really great day.

233
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 6: Have a watch all right? Joining us now the congressman.

234
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 8: Who stood alongside those families today and put forth an

235
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 8: idea that I think he's going to catch fire. All

236
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 8: across the United States building a memorial for the families

237
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 8: who lost loved ones to the border crimes of the

238
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 8: Biden You're joining us now the man who has that

239
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 8: legislation introduced in Congress, now, Congressman Abe Homedy from the

240
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 8: great state of Arizona.

241
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 6: Congressman, Great to have you on the show.

242
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 9: Great to be with you, John, all right, I want to.

243
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 8: Ask a little bit about what inspired this. I know

244
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 8: you've met many victims in your own state and all

245
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 8: across this country. You've been a champion of border security.

246
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 8: But this is a big idea that got a very

247
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 8: warm welcome today.

248
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 9: It was huge, John, and it was so emotional too

249
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 9: to hear a story after story of these angel moms,

250
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 9: these angel dads talking about their loved ones being tragically

251
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 9: taken away from them from illegal immigrants. And you know,

252
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 9: primarily due to Joe Biden's border policy that we witnessed

253
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 9: and how to suffer the last four years. And you

254
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 9: know it was this time, especially John, with Christmas. You know,

255
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 9: their Christmas table is empty this year. You know they're

256
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 9: missing a piece of their heart and they're so brave,

257
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 9: they're so great to come to Washington, d C. Through

258
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 9: all their suffering, holding their photos of their loved ones,

259
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 9: their daughters, their sons, and to show the world that

260
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 9: their life mattered and that these politicians, you know, unfortunately

261
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 9: didn't put America first. So I said, I said it

262
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 9: in my speech that this border memorial for the victim

263
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 9: the victims of illegal immigrants. The more the memorial for it.

264
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 9: It's in many ways, it's not just a way to

265
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 9: honor the victims, but in many ways it's to shame

266
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 9: the politicians who allowed the situation, the crisis, the invasion

267
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 9: to happen under our watch. So hopefully it's going to

268
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 9: be memorialized forever. And uh, you know, everybody on stage

269
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 9: today where we were all getting President Trump a big

270
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 9: shout out for securing our border so quickly, in a

271
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 9: matter of weeks. All it took was courage and conviction.

272
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 9: And but we still need justice. I mean, some of

273
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 9: these families, some of them lost their children just this year,

274
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 9: just a few months ago, and some of them had

275
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 9: the criminals who did it, these illegal aliens who committed

276
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 9: these crimes. They were released from prison and then then

277
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 9: they were caught later after another murder. I mean, what

278
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 9: we are witnessing is so tragic, and it should it

279
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 9: should have happened the most powerful country on Earth. And

280
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 9: hopefully this memorials can be a big reminder for those

281
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 9: in Washington, d C. That you know, the rest of

282
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 9: the country matters. It's not just this DC bubble.

283
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 7: Absolutely, Congressman, I think that it should be bipartisan recognizing

284
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 7: these folks, memorializing them, recognizing the tragedy of illegal immigration

285
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 7: and fentanel flooding into our country. I know you have

286
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 7: eight co sponsors, but they are all Republicans. It doesn't

287
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 7: seem like Democrats are too keen on the idea.

288
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 9: No. No, And in fact, you remember anytime we talked

289
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 9: about the border being an invasion a few years ago, Amanda,

290
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 9: they would you know, they called me a white supremacist

291
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 9: for calling it an invasion. I remember. It's quick. It's

292
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 9: amazing how quickly things have shifted. But the Democrats, they

293
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 9: don't want to acknowledge their own failures because they know

294
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 9: that it was intentional what was happening at the southern border.

295
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 9: They used that as a campaign issue to try to

296
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 9: ram in one hundred billion dollar UH legislation to try

297
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 9: to propose a fix for it. That that didn't matter. Ultimately,

298
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 9: President Trump was able to secure it with our troops,

299
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 9: with our ice, for our brave ice and border patrol agents.

300
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 9: So you know, I hope, I hope. Everybody that spoke today,

301
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 9: they all said, it's not a Democrat or a public issue.

302
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 9: Doesn't matter what race you are, doesn't matter what religion

303
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 9: you are, matter what state you come from. Everybody was

304
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 9: represented there. It's because these victims, the illegal immigrants, they

305
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 9: had no regard for their political ideology. They were just

306
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 9: there to kill. They were there with a fetan all

307
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 9: that they brought in that damage so many people's lives.

308
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 9: So I hope it's a bipartisan bill. I hope it

309
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 9: becomes one. But unfortunately, with today's climate, the Democrats are

310
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 9: controlled by the far left radicals who would rather go

311
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 9: and impede ICE. They'd rather go and impede ICE's ability

312
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 9: to actually start deporting the worst criminals that are illegal,

313
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 9: who shouldn't even be in our country. That's what the

314
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 9: Democrats are focused on. Instead, what they should be focus

315
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 9: on is signing on to my legislation that honors these

316
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 9: victims with a permanent memorial here in Washington, DC that

317
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 9: again doesn't cost the taxpayers any money, it's going to

318
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 9: be entirely privately funded, just like President Trump's ballroom. But

319
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 9: you see that these these Democrats, they always try to

320
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 9: latch on to a non story or try to ignore

321
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 9: something like this.

322
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what they do.

323
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 8: Meanwhile, while President Trump has tightened that border up, record

324
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 8: low crossings, record low crime in America right now, record

325
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 8: low mass shootings, we have judges that still want to

326
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 8: let illegal aliens loose.

327
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 6: When you see.

328
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 8: Brigo Garcio being ordered released by a judge who knows

329
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 8: that this man is illegally in the country, who he

330
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 8: knows there's a record of membership and gangs, who knows

331
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 8: there's some alleged domestic issues. What does Congress think and

332
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 8: what can Congress do about these judges who doesn't want

333
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 8: to enforce border laws.

334
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 6: Absolutely.

335
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 9: I mean, this is why I've been I've signed on

336
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 9: to as many impeachment of these judges as possible, John,

337
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 9: knowing that unfortunately, I'm not sure there's a political will

338
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 9: at this moment currently to actually go through with it,

339
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 9: with the exception of possibly Judge Bohsburg. But we have

340
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 9: to hold these judges accountable because so many of them

341
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 9: have been captured by the sorrow swing, the far leftists

342
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 9: of the Democrat Party, where they are more committed to

343
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 9: their ideology than to the Constitution. So they disregarded American

344
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 9: lives and that's why this press conference was so important.

345
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 9: How could they say to the people who are to

346
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 9: these families who've had to suffer so much, that this

347
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 9: illegal immigrant life and where they're at matters more than

348
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 9: their victims. So, you know, hearing their stories, John, I

349
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 9: hope judges were paying attention. I hope they're watching because

350
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 9: right now the judiciary is losing its legitimacy very quickly.

351
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 9: If they are not serving the interests of the American people,

352
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 9: then we know what they're serving. They're serving in a

353
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 9: Marxist ideology that has no place in America. So we

354
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 9: have to get tough. You know, President Trump, he's right

355
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 9: about the blue slips. The Senate needs to wake up

356
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 9: to the fact that these Democrats are going to get

357
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 9: rid of blue slips the moment they take power. They're

358
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 9: going to get rid of the filibuster. We have to

359
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 9: understand the Democrats have already showed us their hand, and

360
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 9: we have to do as much as we can for

361
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 9: the American people right now, when you know, luckily, we

362
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 9: have the entire control of the Republic, the government right now,

363
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 9: with the House, the Senate, and the White House. So

364
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 9: we have to capitalize on this moment and deliver results

365
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 9: for the American people. But John, what really hit home

366
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 9: to me with the victims and the family of the

367
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 9: victims today was they were talking about how the media

368
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 9: focuses on these illegal immigrants and these ice protests where

369
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 9: some Democrat lawmakers go, and how the media makes it

370
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 9: such a big story about you know, the legal they

371
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 9: call the illegal immigrant a Maryland man for instance, and

372
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 9: not actually call him an illegal alien. And yet they

373
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 9: don't talk about the victims right or where they're die

374
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 9: from fetanol or they get killed with the car crash

375
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 9: going eighty miles an hour, the illegal aliens slamming in

376
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 9: and some of these victims, some of these families, they

377
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 9: had to witness their own sons and daughters dead or

378
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 9: stabbed or they discovered them dead. I mean, think about

379
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 9: how they have to relive that moment for the rest

380
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 9: of their lives. And they are so brave to come

381
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 9: to Congress to advocate not just for their own loved one,

382
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 9: but for the future to make sure this doesn't happen again.

383
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 9: They were so brave, and I'm so proud of them

384
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 9: for coming.

385
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 13: Congressman.

386
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 7: Once upon a time, at the peak of the opioid crisis,

387
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 7: you could find a lot of Democrats who were out

388
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 7: there lamenting the fact that this was happening to Americans,

389
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 7: that Americans were dying because of opioid's fensanyl, things like that.

390
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 7: Fast forward to now twenty twenty five and the so

391
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 7: called controversy, the double tap controversy, and President Trump blowing

392
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 7: up these Venezuelan drug boats that carried enough fentanyl to

393
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 7: kill the entire country many times over.

394
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 13: At this point, it.

395
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 7: Makes it kind of seem like their sympathy and sadness

396
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 7: over the opioid crisis was disingenuous, because now they're demonizing

397
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 7: this administration for doing this to the terrorists who were

398
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 7: carrying these drugs that killed these people.

399
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 9: To begin with, Absolutely, they always do this, demanded I

400
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 9: don't remember the controversy, you know, I don't remember it

401
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 9: being as big of a controversy. And Barack Obama was

402
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 9: literally killing American citizens ver sives with drone strikes, and

403
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 9: yet here they are. You know, what are they talking

404
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 9: about with this double tap? You know we've already did.

405
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 9: The Pentagon has been completely transparent with this. President Trump

406
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 9: has been transparent with this, and most Americans look at

407
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 9: the polling, most Americans support President Trump's decisive actions to

408
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 9: secure our western hemisphere because we know that these drug

409
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 9: ships are coming in from the South, going up into

410
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 9: the northern, into the north and through the southern border.

411
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 9: So luckily the American people haven't bought into the media

412
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 9: lies right now. And you're right, when I was a prosecutor, Amanda,

413
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 9: you know didn't matter. Drugs were was a common thing.

414
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 9: It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat Republican. We're all

415
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 9: united to combat the rise of the drugs in our communities. Sadly,

416
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 9: it seems like the Democrats have completely gone away with

417
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 9: that where they're defending cartel members, they're defending the worst

418
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 9: of the worst of the worst, and people who shouldn't

419
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 9: even be in our country. But again, we are fighting

420
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 9: a Marxist ideology and we all have to call it

421
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 9: out for what it is, because this is a this

422
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 9: is a foreign concept to our country, and we have

423
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 9: to understand that there's foreign actors that play with this

424
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 9: because a lot of fetanyls coming in from the communist

425
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 9: Chinese being shipped across the Pacific and done in a

426
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 9: way to harm the next generation of Americans. So this

427
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 9: is why this is a border security is national security,

428
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 9: and we can't ever allow what happened under Biden to continue.

429
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 6: So we just got about a minute left.

430
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 8: I want to ask about this because you always have

431
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 8: new ideas and new legislation. You're proposing that we add

432
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 8: a dual citizenship question to the census, a very popular idea.

433
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 6: Tell us what's behind it? John?

434
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 9: I think it was common sense, you know. I started

435
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 9: researching this idea. Other countries, like our neighbors to the north, Canada,

436
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 9: they ask on their census if you are a dual citizen.

437
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 9: So the fact that we don't have accurate numbers of

438
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 9: whether an American holds multiple passports is a shame. I

439
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 9: just want to get more data on this to see

440
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 9: what we can do. You know, I haven't even gone

441
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 9: This is a this is this is the start of

442
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 9: it all. I want to make sure that we any

443
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 9: American has an allegiance to the United States of America.

444
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 9: I don't want to see dual allegiances. So this would

445
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 9: be a good way for us to understand how serious

446
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 9: this problem is because estimates vary from forty million to

447
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 9: seventy million Americans may have dual citizens to dual citizenship,

448
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 9: or even more so, adding this to a census, I

449
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 9: think is a common sense piece of legislation.

450
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's an important to out a point out a

451
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 8: point Sarah. Somewhere in the future, a president may look out.

452
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 8: He might be under pressure to open up the borders,

453
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 8: like Joe Biden. And you'll look out that back window

454
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 8: of the South Portico and see that memorial and remember

455
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 8: that the last time someone didn't, there were dire consequences

456
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 8: to the American people. And that's going to be because

457
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 8: you got this done. Great honor to have you on

458
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 8: the show today. Thank you for joining us.

459
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 9: Thank you John, Thank you Amanda.

460
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, great to have you on.

461
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 8: Has always thought, what a great conversation, what a great

462
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 8: event this morning, folks, go check out the video footage.

463
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 6: It was very, very powerful.

464
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 8: All Right, we're gonna take a quick credit commercial bike

465
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 8: when we come back. Our African trade special. Gout cut

466
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 8: a little short yesterday. He's a President Trump.

467
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 6: But we're going to expand a little bit more on it.

468
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 6: It's right after this breaking.

469
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 8: Hey America, the FBI has been warning about a type

470
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 8: of real estate fraud on the rise called home title theft,

471
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 8: and your.

472
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 6: Equity is the target. Here's how it works.

473
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 8: Criminals forge your signature on a single document, use a

474
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 8: fake notary stamp and fill them with the county, and

475
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 8: just like that, boom, they're on record as owning your

476
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 8: home using your ownership. They then take out loans against

477
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 8: your equator, even sell your property and you're not going

478
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 8: to know about it. To get a foreclosure or collection

479
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 8: notice in the mail. That's not going to be a

480
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,040

Speaker 7: Welcome back everybody to just the News and now Noise.

496
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 7: Let's continue our conversation from last night about African trade

497
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 7: and if you missed it, we were discussing the African

498
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 7: Growth and Opportunity Act and why it's so important. One

499
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 7: of the major reasons, of course, the critical minerals in Africa.

500
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 7: Thirty percent of the world's critical minerals are there. So

501
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 7: joining us to discuss this is former Assistant Secretary for

502
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 7: the Office of Energy, Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the

503
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 7: Department of Energy. He is now Principal with Simmons Energy

504
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 7: and Environmental Strategies, Daniel Simmons. Daniel, thanks for being with

505
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 7: us tonight.

506
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 10: Well thanks for having me.

507
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 7: You know, we saw during COVID that when an adversarial

508
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 7: nation has control over something we need, it puts us

509
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 7: in a really, really bad spot. We saw it, of

510
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 7: course with Ppe during COVID, with China and so we

511
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 7: don't want to be in a tricky situation again. And

512
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 7: the fact is that energy security is national security. So

513
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 7: we really need to make sure we monopolize Africa in

514
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 7: the best way possible so that we can have control

515
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 7: of those critical minerals or at least partner with those

516
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 7: African nations.

517
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 12: Right, Oh, certainly. I mean the issue of critical minerals

518
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 12: is one where China dominates. I mean, China is the

519
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 12: problem when it comes to critical minerals. Not only do

520
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 12: they have like a high share of critical mineral production,

521
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 12: but they really just corner the market in some cases

522
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 12: in terms of critical mineral processing. I mean you might

523
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 12: have something like cobalt, where seventy percent of the world's

524
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 12: cobalt is produced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,

525
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 12: but then China processes over eighty percent of that cobalt.

526
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 12: Or you have things such as graphite where China produces

527
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 12: essentially all the world's battery grade graphite.

528
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 10: Like it is a it is a real problem.

529
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 12: And now if China were a good trading partner, none

530
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 12: of this would be a problem. But just this year,

531
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 12: China had, you know, impors imposed export quotas on certain

532
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 12: critical minerals to you know, they were.

533
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 10: Mad at President Trump.

534
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 12: They forbade the export of other critical minerals. And this

535
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 12: is just this is just what China has done for

536
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 12: a number of years. They have cornered the market. They're

537
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 12: going to use that market power that they have force

538
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 12: a number of critical minerals to put not only the

539
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 12: United States but other countries around the world in a

540
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 12: tight spot in order to retain their power.

541
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 8: So there's been a great push by your old agency,

542
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 8: the Partner of Energy to make sure that America and

543
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 8: its allies produce more.

544
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 6: It isn't just the extraction.

545
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 8: You also have to refine them and get them ready

546
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 8: for the uses that we use the military. Otherwise, tell

547
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 8: us where we are in that process and how America

548
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 8: can catch up because China does so much not only

549
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 8: of the mining of them, but also the production of them.

550
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, and that's I mean, we're in the early days.

551
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 12: I mean, unfortunately, it is early days in the first

552
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 12: Trump administration.

553
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 10: I served all four years of the first Trump.

554
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 12: Administration, and it was critical minerals was recognized as a problem.

555
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 10: One of the nice.

556
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 12: Things is that when I went up to Congress and

557
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 12: testified before Congress on critical minerals, Republicans and Democrats were

558
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 12: both aligned saying, hey, this is really a problem. I mean,

559
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 12: this is a this is a serious issue, which was

560
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 12: kind of a surprise because on other issues that I

561
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 12: worked on on energy issues, the Democrats were really mad

562
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 12: at me and they would be really contentious, and then

563
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 12: I go talk about critical minerals and they're like, yes,

564
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 12: this is a problem.

565
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 10: What are we going to do?

566
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 12: And that's the challenge is the what are we going

567
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 12: to do? And there is a real disagreement between Republicans

568
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 12: and Democrats.

569
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 10: And one of the good things and.

570
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 12: Here I'll praise President Biden for getting a bunch of

571
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 12: money through the the Infrastructure Investment of Jobs Act and

572
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 12: the Inflation Reduction Act that he never spent.

573
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 10: And so now there.

574
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 12: Are billions of billions of dollars that the Department of

575
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 12: Energy can now spend on critical minerals thanks to Joe Biden,

576
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 12: which is just kind of funny in my in my opinion,

577
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 12: but it is it is reality, and so they are

578
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 12: working on doing that. Also, the one big beautiful bill

579
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 12: the past earlier this year that also had additional authorities

580
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 12: for the Department of Energy to uh, you know, to

581
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 12: drive critical minerals forward because as you noted, John, this

582
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 12: is this is not just an issue of production, but

583
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 12: it also has to be the processing. It's to take

584
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 12: those raw materials and turn them into more valuable products

585
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 12: that we can actually use. China unfortunately, does a good

586
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 12: job of that, and we need to do a better job.

587
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 12: And the Department of Energy is leading out in trying

588
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 12: to drive that forward with some you know, with some

589
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 12: with some key investments, and they're definitely looking to make

590
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 12: more so that we get out of these early days

591
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 12: but into intermediate days where we can do a better

592
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 12: job really fighting back against Chinese influence in critical minerals.

593
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 7: Coo Daniel, there are dozens of critical minerals that we need.

594
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 7: But as you were saying, you know a lot of

595
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 7: cobalt in Democratic Republic of Congo and DRC. You've got

596
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 7: a lot of manganese in places like Ghana. If we

597
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 7: are able to secure these really tight, tight trade relationships

598
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 7: with critical minerals with those nations in Africa, does it

599
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 7: nullify the need for us to get any critical minerals

600
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 7: from China or will there still be minerals that we

601
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 7: need from China and other.

602
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 12: Countries, there will likely still be minerals, but like it

603
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 12: is much of it that we might need to get

604
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 12: from China. But the real point is is that one

605
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 12: we need to start somewhere, and we have not been

606
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 12: We have not done a good job for a number

607
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 12: of years at like reducing that dependence on China, and

608
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 12: the dependence on China has been increasing, and so anything

609
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 12: we can do to reduce that dependence, I think is

610
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 12: a I think is a good thing. In my perfect world,

611
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 12: what we would have is what has happened with the

612
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 12: hydraulic fracturing revolution with oil and gas production, where we had,

613
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 12: you know, fifteen years ago, it looked like we were

614
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 12: going to need to be importing a lot of natural gas.

615
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 12: At the time, OPEK had greater influence on the oil market,

616
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 12: but because the US dramatically increased our oil production, now

617
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 12: OPEK really can't influence the market because the United States

618
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 12: is the world's leader in oil production. And that same

619
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 12: type of principle can happen with with critical minerals. The

620
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 12: challenge being is that the United States has not been

621
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 12: very quick to market at all. In fact, we've we've

622
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 12: been decades We're like decades long moving to market with

623
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 12: new minds. And that's what we need in many cases

624
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 12: is new minds to produce more things. And so if

625
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 12: we can partner with places like Africa that have a

626
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 12: bunch of these critical minerals, we need to be moving

627
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 12: forward to blunt China's influence and to really you know,

628
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 12: to reduce their scope of influence.

629
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 10: I mean, that's that is.

630
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 12: The key is that the fewer minerals where they are,

631
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 12: you know, producing an outsized amount, the better. But we

632
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 12: need to start even if even if there are some

633
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 12: things where China continues to and they likely will continue

634
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 12: to be you know, the corner to the market for

635
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 12: a number of years, but it's important to reduce their leverage.

636
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,239
Speaker 8: So I want to ask quickly about a go up.

637
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 8: It has been in place for almost thirty years. Now

638
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 8: it expires. Now there's a new chance to tinker with

639
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 8: it and then set it back in motion. What are

640
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 8: some of the benefits beyond critical mintals, which is the

641
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 8: obvious national security and then keeping China at bay at that,

642
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 8: what are some of the other benefits in America could

643
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 8: reap in a new tree deal with the African continent.

644
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 12: Well, I mean, I think first and foremost it's not

645
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 12: only that we would be getting things. It is an

646
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 12: outlet for America produced, you know, for things that America produces.

647
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 10: And the more, you know, the more that we.

648
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 12: Can export to Africa. And Africa is really developed, I

649
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 12: mean they they are. They are still a developing they're

650
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 12: still developing countries. They are as they grow their economies.

651
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 12: That is just that is like increasingly, uh, those are

652
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 12: increasing markets for us. And one of the real challenges

653
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 12: there is that China has also seen Africa as an

654
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 12: area for real growth. And I think in the most

655
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 12: recent year I heard today as we were talking with

656
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 12: a go of people that that Chinese, the Chinese increase

657
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 12: their exports to Africa by about twelve percent in the

658
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 12: last year.

659
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 10: And that's I mean, that is a lot.

660
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 12: And and so it is it is American jobs and

661
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 12: it's American jobs that we would that we get by

662
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 12: x forty two Africa, and as they become more developed,

663
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 12: that is more opportunity for us to export to Africa.

664
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, Daniels, we were talking with some of our experts

665
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 7: last night. We were talking about AGOA and the very

666
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 7: stringent criteria for participating Sub Saharan nations we're discussing the

667
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 7: issue of South Africa and whether they should be excluded

668
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 7: from this.

669
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 13: If at some point in the future they.

670
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 7: Are excluded, what is their value to us in terms

671
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 7: of critical and minerals can we do without?

672
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 10: Sure?

673
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 6: Sure?

674
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 12: I mean like in terms of like South Africa itself,

675
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 12: as it hasn't been doesn't have all of the the

676
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 12: I mean, there is some mining that is fine, but

677
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 12: it is not like they are a necessarily a critical

678
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 12: minerals powerhouse.

679
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 10: So that is that that's not the that's not the

680
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 10: biggest issue. You know, there are other.

681
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 12: Places, I mean places like the the d r C

682
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 12: that that really dominates the world in terms of cobalt production.

683
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 12: There are other places to produce cobalt. We could be

684
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 12: producing more cobalt, for example here in the United States,

685
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 12: but it has become so difficult to mine and so

686
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 12: difficult to open new minds. And then when you when you,

687
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 12: when you when you One of the things that China

688
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 12: has done over time is you know, drop the price

689
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 12: of you know, when they when they see competitors coming

690
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 12: along in an area where where they have dominated, they

691
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 12: have lowered the price to make the finances not work

692
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 12: for people that are operating in a market economy until

693
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 12: they go away, and then they can you know, regain

694
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 12: their influence over time again by you know, jacking up

695
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 12: the price and and continuing to be the really the monopolist.

696
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 10: And so you know, there is a you know.

697
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 12: Africa is huge and there is a huge opportunity and uh,

698
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 12: you know what, what what we're looking for is to

699
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 12: to do a better job partnering with uh, you know,

700
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 12: with African countries, to partner with the United States too,

701
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 12: you know, to grow those trade relationships. You know, from

702
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 12: our perspective, that will increase our national security, it will

703
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 12: increase our energy security, and it will create jobs for Americans.

704
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 12: And you know, for that matter, one of the things

705
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 12: that has helped by having the United States is the

706
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 12: world leader in oil production. By it is it is created,

707
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 12: it is lowered global oil prices, and that is good

708
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 12: for the entire world. And so when we and Africa

709
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 12: work together and create more security, create more economic security,

710
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 12: I mean that is that is good for the good

711
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 12: for the world, and good for the world's economy. But

712
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 12: it is certainly good for for Americans and American companies

713
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 12: exporting to Africa and for those jobs here at home.

714
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, Daniel, before we let you go, I feel like

715
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 7: it's not very often that you hear about a nation

716
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 7: or region who produces critical minerals where their mind also

717
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 7: being the place where they are refined and processed and

718
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 7: shipped out.

719
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 13: Number one, why is that? And number two?

720
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 7: Is there something about Africa that precludes them from being

721
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 7: able to be a processor and ship them out?

722
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 13: Can we not just get it all done there?

723
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 12: The problem has been China Like that is that that's

724
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 12: a that's a big deal as in China has you know,

725
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 12: they have they have aggressively worked for decades at being

726
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 12: that processor, and as such they have made it difficult.

727
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 12: I mean, one is, a lot of the end uses

728
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 12: are in China for these you know, for these minerals

729
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 12: in terms of like you know, for things we're making

730
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 12: steel and other electronics. So being having that production close

731
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 12: to the end use has been helpful for China. But

732
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 12: also they have bad environmental you know, they don't care

733
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 12: that much about the environment, and they don't need to

734
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 12: worry about labor about labor standards, and so it is

735
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 12: easier to do those things in China, and they have

736
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 12: really out competed the rest of the world until they've

737
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 12: gotten to this place where they are now, where they

738
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 12: use their market power to make it difficult to have

739
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 12: new entrants. So you know, it is difficult for African

740
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 12: companies or countries to get in that game when they're

741
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 12: competing against in many cases, really the government of China,

742
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 12: because they see it as strategically important. And so you know,

743
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 12: if you have a country or a company in Africa

744
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 12: that is really competing against the Chinese Communist Party, you

745
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 12: see how that's going to work. And the Chinese have

746
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 12: seen this as strategically important, and so they're not going

747
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 12: to give that up without a fight. And that's why

748
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 12: it's important for the US to partner with these companies

749
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 12: to bring the might of the US government and the

750
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 12: might of the American economy to bear to you know,

751
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 12: to push back on the Chinese.

752
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 13: You know, we got a lot of catching up to do.

753
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 7: It sounds like former Assistant Secretary for the Office of Energy,

754
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 7: Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the Department of Energy now

755
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 7: principle with Simmons Energy and Environmental Strategies.

756
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 13: Great to see you, Thanks so much for being with us.

757
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 10: Daniel, Well, thanks for having me.

758
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 13: Then, absolutely all right, everybody.

759
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 7: Next, we're going to discuss one of the fastest growing

760
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 7: crimes in America and what you can do to itself.

761
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 8: Hey, folks, you know every day on Just the News

762
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 8: we dig deep to bring you facts, no spend, no nonsense,

763
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 8: And I've come to really appreciate organizations that operate the

764
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 8: same way. That's why I'm proud to talk about AMAC,

765
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 8: the Association of Mature American Citizens AMAC is more than

766
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 8: a membership. It's a movement of patriotic, common sense Americans

767
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 8: who care about freedom, fiscal responsibility, and protecting the values

768
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 8: that made this nation strong. Members get great benefits from discounts,

769
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 8: to resources, to a powerful advocacy team fighting for you

770
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 8: in Washington. But what impresses me most is how AMAC

771
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 8: stands firm when so many others gave to political pressure,

772
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 8: and right now is a terrific time to join. Their

773
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 8: five year membership is not only the most popular option,

774
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 8: it also saves you up to thirty three percent, five

775
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,959
Speaker 8: full years of the AMAC magazine, five years of money

776
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 8: saving discounts, five years of advocacy, five years of standing

777
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 8: with an organization that reflects you are my values. So

778
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 8: if you've been waiting for the right moment to get involved.

779
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,720

782
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 13: Welcome back, everybody.

783
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 7: Modern technology has made quite a lot of things easier

784
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 7: in our lives, but there are some negatives too, of course.

785
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 7: For example, one of America's fastest growing crimes is a

786
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 7: lot easier to commit now. I am, of course talking

787
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 7: about joining us now to discuss.

788
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 13: Where about that?

789
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 7: An Emmy and multi award winning news anchor and investigative

790
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 7: reporter who has recently been spending his time researching the growing.

791
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 13: Crime of theft. For John, thanks to thanks, thanks to

792
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 13: you for being with us.

793
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 14: Great to have you, great, Thank you very much, Amanda.

794
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 14: Great to be with you and John today. So let's

795
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 14: get on with it, all right.

796
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 13: It's great to have you here.

797
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 7: It's I hate that this is happening, and it seems

798
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 7: like it's happening more and more. It looks like it

799
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 7: was three homes targeted in a queen's neighborhood, and it

800
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 7: looks like there are going to be varying levels of

801
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 7: restitution because one of the scariest things about this crime

802
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 7: is if you're not protected and it is actually carried out,

803
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 7: then there's a whole long legal process and you may

804
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 7: not even get your house back in the end.

805
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 14: Uh, you're right, Amanda. I mean this one has many

806
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 14: facets to it. How this started out, and this was

807
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 14: in the Queen's Jamaica Plains area, which is you know,

808
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 14: kind of the entry way to Long Island and just

809
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 14: east of Manhattan, and there are just a lot of

810
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 14: you know, family suburban homes there and a guy that

811
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 14: actually stole someone's identity. So now we have identity theft.

812
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 14: He stole this guy's identity and then he was able

813
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 14: to use that to get a driver's license in New York,

814
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 14: and then with the driver's license, he was able to

815
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 14: transfer titles to a number of properties in Queens and

816
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 14: Jamaica Plains and so on. Some he leveraged for loans,

817
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 14: and two of them he actually sold to a third party.

818
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 14: Which makes this extremely complex because it's not just identity theft.

819
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 14: You have title or deep theft, and then you have

820
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 14: other parties that are involved. They're also a part of

821
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 14: this scam, and it gets very complex and very difficult

822
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 14: to prosecute.

823
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, you have a case at justin News just reported

824
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 8: back in November, right around Thanksgiving to Mexican nationals illegally

825
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 8: selling people's homes through title fraud in I think it

826
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 8: was in the California area. It seems like you've got

827
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 8: transnational criminals, you've got people on the inside of the industry,

828
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 8: people on the outside, old fashioned con men, AI artists.

829
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 8: The number of people that are engaging in this route

830
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 8: are growing and their tactics are growing.

831
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 6: Like Queen's showed us.

832
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 14: Right, there are criminal enterprises all over the world to

833
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 14: do this, John, but individuals can do it. It's so easy.

834
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 14: It's such an easy crime to do. Basically, all you

835
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 14: have to do is get the proper paperwork and you

836
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 14: can do it online with the Internet and with AI.

837
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 14: You can get everything that you need to be able

838
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 14: to quote unquote prove that you are the owner of

839
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 14: the property. Then you can transfer the deed the title

840
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 14: into your name or someone else's name, or some enterprise's name,

841
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 14: and then leverage the property. It doesn't have to be

842
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 14: a home. It can be a piece of open land.

843
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 14: It can be grandma's house, a cabin in the woods.

844
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 14: It's a free for all right now. John and Amanda

845
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 14: and you just need to protect yourself from this. You're

846
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 14: so susceptible. Any kind of a piece of property that

847
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 14: you own is up for grabs.

848
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, John, I love being able to press a button

849
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 7: on my phone and to tell it to set an alarm.

850
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 13: For me or to make an appointment for me.

851
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 7: It's great, but it is not great when it makes

852
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 7: it easier to commit crimes. And technology, let's face it

853
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 7: has really accelerated this crime, hasn't it.

854
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 11: It really has.

855
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 14: And so you know, everybody's got a like a ring

856
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 14: camera on their home, or they've got some sort of

857
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 14: protection on their credit card, but most people, Amanda, don't

858
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 14: think about protecting the title or the deed to your property.

859
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 14: And you need to have a system to be able

860
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 14: to monitor it, alert you if there's something funny going on,

861
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 14: and then to restore it into your good name, because

862
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 14: once it's gone, it's gone. And in most states, Samanna

863
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 14: and John, it's considered to be a civil crime, which

864
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 14: means you have to go through the court system and

865
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 14: hire an attorney, and it's very expensive. Some states now

866
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 14: consider it to be criminal, but it's happening very slowly,

867
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 14: and in the meantime, you know, your place is up

868
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 14: for grabs and you have to protect yourself.

869
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think people here, well, some of these people

870
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 8: got arrested. That's great and it is good that they

871
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 8: get arrested, but that doesn't mean that the person who

872
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 8: had their equity stolen is going to have an easy

873
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 8: path to getting their money back. A lot of these

874
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 8: defendants don't have the cash right they've already spent it

875
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 8: or moved it to eever, their transnational criminal organization is

876
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 8: so the process of going through the civil courts, even

877
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 8: when someone's arrested by the cops is long and arduous.

878
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, because it's the civil courts.

879
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 14: I mean, if they were arrested, charged with a criminal crime,

880
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 14: then there would be immediate recompense for for for that

881
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 14: particular d but that isn't the case in most places.

882
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 14: You need a system to be able to protect yourself.

883
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,959
Speaker 14: I work with a company it's called home title Lock,

884
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 14: and you can go on their website home title lock

885
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 14: dot com. And what they do, John and Amanda is

886
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 14: they will for a very small fee, much smaller than say,

887
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 14: you know, protecting your credit card or your I D.

888
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 14: You know with the I D companies that you know

889
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 14: that will protect the theft of your id uh. They

890
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 14: will monitor your title or titles if you have a

891
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 14: number of properties, and then they will alert you if

892
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 14: something's going on, and then they will work with you

893
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 14: to restore it, which if it goes through the civil system,

894
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 14: it could take years and a lot of money to

895
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 14: be able to get your property back and as the

896
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 14: rightful owner. And and for many people it's it's just

897
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 14: a horrible thing because you think about it, your properties

898
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 14: are generally going to be the bulk of your estate,

899
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 14: and you know, so that's far more worth than you know,

900
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 14: somebody's taking ten thousand dollars to your credit card or

901
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 14: stealing jewelry or whatever.

902
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 11: You know, this is your home and you need to

903
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 11: protect it.

904
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,440

Speaker 7: I just looked at my watch, Shohn, and I realized

936
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 7: that we are officially less than two weeks away from Christmas.

937
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:14,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, shopping, it.

938
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 7: Is a I know I've still got plenty of Do

939
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 7: you still have shopping to do?

940
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 6: Of course I do. It's way too early to panic.

941
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:21,919
Speaker 13: All right.

942
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,760
Speaker 7: So I had a clip pulled for our audience tonight

943
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 7: from the Oval Office earlier today where President Trump was

944
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 7: honoring that team, uh, the Miracle on Ice team. And

945
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 7: I didn't know this, thirteen of the twenty. We're Minnesotans,

946
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 7: and I think that's pretty darn cool.

947
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 13: But this is a very this is a very interesting moment.

948
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 2: President el Baker from Minnesota. I know that right now

949
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 2: that doesn't ring very well. Hopefully we can get that

950
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 2: turned around.

951
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: Do we have Somanians in the any Somonians on the team?

952
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 10: Homar pride we felt in nineteen eighty it was.

953
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 1: Incredible and we are starting to feel that again thanks

954
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: to your leadership.

955
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.

956
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Minnesota is a great place and this

957
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: is a great leader right here for if Minnesota.

958
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 2: He loves it. Not happy with what's going on up there.

959
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was at least at least aphonic of New Yorker.

960
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 7: And then of course that was Tom Emmer there with

961
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 7: the team of John A really really and Tom ember

962
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 7: by the way, it almost seemed like he didn't want

963
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 7: to laugh, but he couldn't help himself.

964
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 13: He could not help him tell. And there was that

965
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 13: other moment.

966
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 7: We didn't have time to clip it, but Mike Ruzzioni

967
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 7: expressing his well, first he gave President Trump a replica

968
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 7: hat like the one that they wore, but expressing his

969
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 7: gratitude to this president for recognizing that team and what

970
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 7: it meant for them.

971
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 8: That two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. In moments like this,

972
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 8: American greatness is just starting, and I just think it's

973
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 8: just so cool to watch that team get recognized one

974
00:48:58,880 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 8: more time during the later.

975
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 6: State ages of the life. Now, but man, that was

976
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 6: a team.

977
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 8: And then they gave us the Gretzki era of hockey,

978
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 8: which gave us Akin era of hockey.

979
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 13: Veskin is blown it out of the water.

980
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 6: Now the old man is still playing great.

981
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 8: Forty one, he's up in the league leaders and scoring

982
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 8: and but hockey is a great sport. It's a quint

983
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 8: essentially North American sport. And back in those days, other

984
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 8: than Minnesota, there weren't a lot of places you could

985
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 8: play hockey.

986
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 6: So nowadays a lot more schools out of it.

987
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 7: I'll be doing a little bit of ice skating, maybe

988
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 7: a little bit of casual hockey in a few weeks

989
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 7: now when I'm up in Canada. So they've got the

990
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 7: what is it called the Assinnaboyne River. I believe that

991
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 7: runs through Winnipeg and you can.

992
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 13: Skate on the river. It's frozen, frozen solid, all right, John.

993
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 7: Speaking of New York, a not so fun story. You

994
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 7: might have heard about this Harold Square stabbing at the

995
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:47,439
Speaker 7: Macy's there.

996
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 13: They've revealed who it was.

997
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 7: It was a California mother and an LA Sheriff's Department employee.

998
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 7: They were stabbed multiple times there. And this just goes

999
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 7: back to it's actually something that I wrote about for

1000
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 7: the weekend, the issue of crime and New York with

1001
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,720
Speaker 7: sanctuary status. New York City has had sanctuary status since

1002
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 7: eighty nine, a long long time. A lot of people

1003
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 7: don't realize that, but you know, with the ridiculous YEP,

1004
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 7: with all of the issues surrounding crime in that city.

1005
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 7: But for someone coming from California, I hate to say it,

1006
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 7: but you're kind of kind of used to it in

1007
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 7: the Golden State.

1008
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, the fact that we are desensitized to it shows

1009
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 8: how big a problem it is. We've got to stop

1010
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 8: this being the norm. You shouldn't be able to walk

1011
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,720
Speaker 8: down the street and have to fear look over your shoulder,

1012
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,439
Speaker 8: go shopping during the holiday season, get stabbed in a face.

1013
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 8: I mean, just it's horrific and it is so unavoidable.

1014
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 6: Now we're on track for.

1015
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 8: The lowest number of mass shootings, We're on track for

1016
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 8: the lowest number murders in a very long time. Those

1017
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,479
Speaker 8: are big wins. Are on the track for lowest number

1018
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 8: of legal immigrants crossing. So things are getting better and

1019
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 8: that's starting to drain down or trickle down to the

1020
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 8: American public. But so many people are still getting released

1021
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 8: who should be behind bars. And it's just so simple.

1022
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 8: By the way, this is a losing issue for the

1023
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 8: Democratic Party. Repoplicans don't talk enough about it.

1024
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 7: And as we started out the show talking about with

1025
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 7: Congress and holiday, Democrats are sympathizing with these as some

1026
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 7: of them are referring.

1027
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 13: To them as fishermen on these boats that are bringing

1028
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 13: in drugs.

1029
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 8: Murder and cold bot on your street is now a

1030
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 8: tragic accident to I mean, these guys are they lost

1031
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 8: their minds Now.

1032
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 7: To tie in that topic, so Rasmussen took a poll,

1033
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 7: should Congress formally declare war on drugs smugglers again, this

1034
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 7: is a formal declaration. Fort said yeah, forty two percent

1035
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 7: said no, and eleven percent not sure.

1036
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 6: More Americans than not.

1037
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 10: Yep, yeah, there you go.

1038
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 7: All right, everybody, Well, we appreciate you being with us.
