He was 30 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 5: the valedictorian of his high school, studied engineering and mathematics 31 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 5: at the University of Pennsylvania, and seemingly came from. 32 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: A large, loving family. 33 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 5: It's unclear when Mangioni will be extra dived back to 34 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,279 Speaker 5: New York, but he is currently being held without bail. 35 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right now, brand I want to get your. 36 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: Take on this. 37 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: I mean, social media has not stopped talking about this killing. 38 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: What is your reaction to the latest murder charge and 39 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: do you think we got the right guy? 40 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 7: I think we have the right guy. There's enough evidence 41 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 7: they found on site. 42 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 9: Obviously, we've seen the eyes. It seems like everything matches. 43 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 9: It's all passing the smell check. But then yet people. 44 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 7: On TikTok and social media feel like it's not the 45 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 7: right guy. He's been planned. 46 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 9: The evidence has been planted on this guy. I'm gonna 47 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 9: go well with the authorities have found I think it's 48 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 9: the guy, and shout out to McDonald's for that worker 49 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 9: for she saw something. 50 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 7: She said something. She called the nine one one and 51 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 7: the rest is history. 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 5: Well, I'm not sure if you guys saw this, but 53 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 5: actually a lot of people went to the Pennsylvania McDonald's 54 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 5: in Altoona and we're. 55 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: Leaving horrible reviews. 56 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 5: There's a full coalition, an army behind this guy. Now, 57 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 5: it's really interesting to see social media's response. 58 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 3: It certainly is. 59 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: And like I said, people just continue to keep talking 60 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: about this and talking about this, and I think he 61 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: must know that there's a massive social media response. 62 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: I want to show you guys this video. 63 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: This was all bizarre moments earlier today when police were 64 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 2: tsering Mangioni for his extradition. Hearing take a look here. 65 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 8: Wow, that video continuing to go viral. 66 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 5: And it's interesting as well because there's also YouTube channel 67 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 5: that's now taken down and on it he had said 68 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 5: that if I am arrested, this is because you're seeing 69 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 5: this right now. 70 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 8: So, Brian, what do you make of this? 71 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 7: This is the first time I've seen that video. 72 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 9: Moments before this now, is there something else we need 73 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 9: to know about this case? 74 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 7: What else is? Who else is this guy working with? 75 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 7: This is just a bizarre case overall. But I think 76 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 7: the scariest thing right now is that. 77 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 9: Social media is praising a man who shot allegedly the 78 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 9: CEO in broad daylight. That's the scary part of our 79 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 9: society that we are going down this path. And I 80 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 9: said this early in the Morning show, is this the 81 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 9: modern day Occupy Wall Street? 82 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 7: If you've got some type of. 83 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 9: Problem or grievance with corporate America, do you just take 84 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 9: the law in your own hands. 85 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 7: Hopefully that's not the way we're going. But my goodness, 86 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 7: according to the. 87 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 9: University of TikTok, that's exactly what's happening. 88 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's been quite shocking to see. And man Ngo 89 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 2: Andie's family actually came out with this statement today and 90 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: they said that they were shocked about this. They only 91 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: saw these reports on social media, had no idea that 92 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: he was going through all of this at the time, 93 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: and they did offer prayers for the Thompson family as 94 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: they're going through their difficult moment here. 95 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, like I said yesterday, Emily, I think that line 96 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 4: between brilliance and madness is very thin, and when this 97 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,119 Speaker 4: is obviously a smart individual, he was a right fighter. 98 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 4: I feel like this was something personal to him somehow, 99 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 4: But it doesn't mean that something can't snap and someone's 100 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 4: synapses in their brain and immediately click and they kill someone. 101 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 4: And Brian, you're right to say you can't teach America 102 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 4: that it's okay just because you have a personal beef 103 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 4: with a healthcare company to go with there and murder someone. 104 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 8: Well, let me ask you this. Do you think that 105 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 8: he acted alone? Do you think there are other parts 106 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 8: in play? 107 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 7: I don't know. I don't know. 108 00:04:58,920 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 10: I don't know enoughing. 109 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 4: About I think it's too difficult to say at this point. 110 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 4: I guess we'll find out. 111 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, I know that he probably strategize how he was 112 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 9: going to do this, but perhaps after it was over, 113 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 9: he didn't figure out how he's going to get away. 114 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 9: Like he's sitting in a McDonald's with all the evidence. 115 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 5: As Pennsylvania City, there is the theory that he wanted 116 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 5: to be caught because he was blatantly sitting at this 117 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 5: McDonald We. 118 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 4: Got to see what's in the manifesto too. 119 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 9: There's a lot of and you know what, there's a 120 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 9: lot of misinformation on TikTok, because I had some this morning. 121 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 9: Some girl was reading the manifest I don't know how 122 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 9: she got it. 123 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 7: I don't know if it's real, but it was bizarre. 124 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 7: I couldn't figure. Yeah, it was. It was strange. 125 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it certainly looked like it was made up. 126 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, completely. 127 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 4: Well. We were following another case out of New York City. 128 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 4: US marine Daniel Penny was found not guilty in the 129 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 4: killing of Jordan Neely. Many are calling Penny a hero 130 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 4: for his actions to keep subway passengers safe that fateful day, 131 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 4: and are now criticizing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for 132 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 4: prosecuting the case in the first place. Is it finally 133 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 4: for Brag to be removed from office? 134 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 9: Brian, Let me go ahead and go on the record 135 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 9: and say, yes, this is ridiculous. I mean, this guy 136 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 9: actually ran on putting Trump in jail. That was his 137 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 9: campaign slogan. You know, lock him up, if he was original, 138 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 9: lock him up. 139 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 7: Probably. 140 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 9: He's a disgrace to New York. He's a disgrace to 141 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 9: the justice justice system, and he needs to be removed. 142 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: Absolutely well. 143 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 2: I will say the justice system did work the way 144 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: that it was intended. Right, The jurors still acquitted Daniel 145 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: Penny after all the evidence was presented in court. They 146 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: dismissed the manslaughter charges and acquitted him fully this week. 147 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 7: Yeah. 148 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 5: Well then you look at the BLM afterwards, and you 149 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 5: look at actually the New York BLM leader who said 150 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 5: that they need to take to the streets they need 151 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 5: black vigilantes. I mean, this is concerning stuff right here. 152 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 5: They're trying to paint him, and I think the mainstream 153 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 5: media has helped with this Jordan Neeley, as if he 154 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 5: has some sort of innocent. 155 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 8: Thirty year old. 156 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, and Emily, to your point, I think it's great 157 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 4: to know that a jury of peers listened to this 158 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 4: case and fairly said he was not guilty of it. Yes, 159 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 4: And that's important because you think about in the aftermath 160 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 4: of George George Floyd. How could any jury not be 161 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 4: affected by that and say, white man, black man, this 162 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 4: is murder. You know, it's so easy, I think, to 163 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 4: be wrapped up in the fact they were able to 164 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 4: look at the case and say he was not guilty 165 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 4: on two different charges, essentially, I think speaks to maybe 166 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 4: the justices some can work sometimes. 167 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, And course the individual had been locked up and 168 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 9: arrested numerous times. It's not like it's been a saint. 169 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 9: They could say he was a street performer. He was 170 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 9: just asking for food. No, he was asking for trouble, 171 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 9: and he's been asking for trouble for a long time. 172 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 9: It's a sad situation overall. No, he lost his life, 173 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 9: but to lock up somebody who was trying to protect 174 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 9: the public from someone who was claiming and threatening to kill. 175 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 7: Everyone, that's honorable. 176 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 9: Because I've been in a lot of subways and trains 177 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 9: in Washington, DC. Everyone does this if anything gets out 178 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 9: of hand, they don't care. 179 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 7: They stare at their phone. He did not. 180 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 9: He did something to be commended for it. But it 181 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 9: is a sad story overall. We pray for the victim's family. 182 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, And the last thing I want to say about this, 183 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 2: I think the saddest part about all of this, from 184 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: Jordan Neely's perspective is his family now coming out after 185 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: he was homeless for so many years, so troubled, addicted 186 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 2: to drugs, his family now coming out and trying to 187 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 2: say that they supported him, that this was wrong, trying 188 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: to capitalize on what happened. It's really sick to see. 189 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll definitely praying for the family as well. 190 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 3: Of course, a sad situation, but justice to prevail there. 191 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 5: We also want to switch gears to another major US city, Chicago, 192 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 5: where Trump's incoming borders are. Tom Holman spoke last night 193 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 5: saying the mass deportations of illegal migrants will begin in 194 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 5: the Windy City right after inauguration. Brian, walk us through 195 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 5: what you expect this massive undertaker to look at. 196 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 7: Oh, we're gonna have fun with this one. 197 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 9: Well, I think what they're going to do initially is 198 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 9: they're going to start with the criminals, the people that 199 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 9: we know, and we have a database of known criminals, 200 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 9: known you know, prisoners from other countries, people that are 201 00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 9: wanted across the. 202 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 7: World for murder. 203 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 9: We're gonna start with those and get those cleaned out. 204 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 9: And then it's gonna start with I know it's very controversial, 205 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 9: but I'm sorry, if you cave to this country illegally, 206 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 9: you broke a federal law, We're gonna start with with 207 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 9: all of those. And it's one these you know, when 208 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 9: they say don't separate the families, that's okay, we don't 209 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 9: have to we'll gonna take the parent and guess what, 210 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 9: the parent's gonna take the kid to the whole family's going. 211 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 9: It's gonna be a slow rollout, though, So I want 212 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 9: people's expectations in America to be realistic. We're not gonna 213 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 9: have this massive deportation like they think it's gonna be. 214 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 9: It's gonna be a slow rollout, but nevertheless it's going. 215 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 7: To be effective. 216 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be met with massive pushback as well. 217 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: And I think it's very strategic of Tom Holman to 218 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: be picking Chicago as the city that he wants to 219 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: start this out with. You're not gonna pick New York City. 220 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 2: Eric Adams is already vowed to work with the Trump administration. 221 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 3: On all of this. 222 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: Brandon Johnson, the mayor in Chicago, has spent so much money. 223 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 2: I mean I reported on this extensively. I've seen it firsthand, 224 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: putting people up in the hotels, putting people in the airport. 225 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be met with so much 226 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: pushback just because of how much he has invested in 227 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 2: this already. 228 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 3: And Brandon Johnson is not backing down. 229 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, And I will say this real quickly from a 230 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 9: media standpoint. Look for any anything that goes sideways, the 231 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 9: media will be all over this to magnify it and 232 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 9: it will be. 233 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 7: The leading headline on the news at news at nine. 234 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 9: Bbe Trump administration, you know, separates family. You know they're 235 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 9: all they're all family business. It's low hanging fruit. They're 236 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 9: going to blow everything up out of proportion. That's what 237 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 9: they want to do. That's how they stop it. They 238 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 9: can do it legally, they'll stop it through the media and. 239 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 4: Another way they may be able to do it, as 240 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 4: in my understanding is that local law enforcement could not 241 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 4: coordinate with DHS, FBI, CIA to come up with the people, 242 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 4: the crimes that they were committing. They couldn't share that information. 243 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 4: Now I bet Tom Hummond will ensure that all law 244 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 4: enforcement agencies are working together. 245 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 7: Right well, I think. 246 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 5: It's going to be important as well to combat those 247 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 5: narratives because once they start coming, we're going to see 248 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 5: it and it's going to be all wars against Republicans. 249 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 9: As we all know, family ripped apart at local business. 250 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 7: It's you're going to see the headlines. 251 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 9: It's but you know what, we've got to just stay 252 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 9: strong and at the end of the day, people were. 253 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 7: Murdered on the streets by illegal gang members. 254 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 9: That's who we need to go after and try to, 255 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 9: you know, work around all the rest of the noise. 256 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 5: He said, Look, there's an order to it. We're going 257 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 5: through the criminals first and moreover. I mean, you broke 258 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 5: a law. You came here illegally. 259 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 3: We don't do that. You shouldn't be able to do 260 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 3: it here. 261 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 8: It's something that one. 262 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 4: Overlooks that that's the crime committed initially of coming over 263 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 4: here legally. That's what you got to look at first, 264 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 4: then look at the rest of everything. Exactly exactly. 265 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 5: What's going on the latest in North Carolina. Are the 266 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 5: hurricane victims finally getting the assistance they need. 267 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 8: We'll find out when we return. 268 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere. 269 00:11:45,160 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 8: We're right back on Special Report. 270 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 11: Welcome back to Special Report. Well you are not forgotten. 271 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 11: Those were the words of JD. Vanas that he said 272 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 11: to the people of western North Carolina after visiting them 273 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 11: last Friday. Vans joined up with Samaritans Purse and met 274 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 11: with local residents that were impacted by hurricanes Helene and Milton. 275 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 11: Just take a listen to what he had to say. 276 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 11: While he was on the ground there in North Carolina. 277 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 12: As I mentioned earlier, Tom and Ted have explicitly asked 278 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 12: the Biden administration to grant the FEMA waiver that would 279 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 12: allow mobile homes to come back to this area. That 280 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 12: would actually give people some short and maybe some medium 281 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 12: term housing. I mean, Tom and Ted are welcome to 282 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 12: talk about that if they want to say more. 283 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 7: I hope it. 284 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 12: Doesn't take forty five days. But if God forbid it 285 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 12: takes forty five days, that's something that is going to 286 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 12: change immediately under President Trump's leadership. 287 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 7: Think about it. 288 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 12: The argument here is that you can't allow people to 289 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 12: put mobile homes in a floodplaine and an area that 290 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 12: has the risk of flood damage. Well, that's pretty much 291 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 12: this entire area, an area of the state of Massachusetts. 292 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 12: If you don't grant a waiver, you're effectively telling people 293 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 12: they've got to move hundreds of miles away and do 294 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 12: it two weeks before Christmas. It's ridiculous, it's atrocious, and 295 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 12: we need a government that responds quickly to the needs 296 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 12: of its citizens. So much of the frustration at FEMA, 297 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 12: at everybody else, it's not malice. 298 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 7: I don't know. I don't believe that the. 299 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 12: Officials of the Biden administration are intentionally doing bad things. 300 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 12: But it's bureaucratic red tape, it's slowness. It's a bureaucracy 301 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 12: that is moving at the speed of a glacier when 302 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 12: what you need is people to respond to the concerns 303 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 12: of the people of western North Carolina. 304 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 11: Yeah, Brian, I mean this comes just after biding the 305 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 11: one billion dollars to Africa and humanitarian and then he 306 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 11: just gave it pledged another one billion for Ukraine. So 307 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 11: here Americans are suffering on the ground Tennessee, North Carolina. 308 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 8: Winter is coming up. 309 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 11: They're freezing, they don't have places to stay, They're suffering 310 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 11: having a decide. I've heard from people that have been 311 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 11: on the ground that they have to decide between. 312 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 8: Having a heated place to live or food. I mean, 313 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 8: this is the kind of stuff. 314 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 11: This is why President Trump, Bryan got the mandate that 315 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 11: he did. 316 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 9: This is exactly why the Democrats lost, Yeah, in November. 317 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 9: They have never in the last four years or so, 318 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 9: let's just say put America first. And this is a 319 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 9: gleaming example of that. As we keep seeing billions go 320 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 9: to a foreign war in Ukraine that we did in 321 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 9: the American people are obviously against they keep doing that, 322 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 9: and then look, we're all for humanitarian aid around the world. 323 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 9: We all don't want people to suffer, but we're broke 324 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 9: and we don't have the money and by them to 325 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 9: continue to do this. 326 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 7: Can you imagine if they just. 327 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 9: Took a small sliver of that money and invested it 328 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 9: in these people in North Carolina. And you know, the 329 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 9: weather switched a couple of weeks ago, we had snow 330 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 9: for the first time, and that you know, obviously people 331 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 9: are intense sleeping outside. It's it's disgusting that that's where 332 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 9: we're at in this country. But unfortunately that is a 333 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 9: Democrat party. The image is around the screen right now, folks, 334 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 9: these people, I mean, can you imagine camping out right now? 335 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 9: You don't have a home, you don't live, That's where 336 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 9: they live. And meanwhile, you know, our heart on tax 337 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 9: dollars are being sent overseas, and like I said, God, 338 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 9: bless the world. 339 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 7: We want to help the world. 340 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 9: But right now, this on your screen is the crisis 341 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 9: here in this country, and you've got to put America first. Obviously, 342 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 9: I think that changes with the Trump administration. 343 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean in North Carolina and they're saying that 344 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 11: damages Brian, We're fifty three billion dollars in just North Carolina, 345 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 11: that doesn't include Tennessee and the other states that were impacted. 346 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 11: And right now FEMA is saying that they have given 347 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 11: out Today they released a report that FEMA had given 348 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 11: out a two hundred in some million. But that is 349 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 11: not even near the amount of money that these people 350 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 11: need right now to be able to recover from these 351 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 11: hurricane this damage. And there's still two people missing in 352 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 11: Tennessee and over one hundred people were killed in North Carolina, 353 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 11: and yet you're not hearing a lot about this in 354 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 11: the media anymore. Why do you think that people are 355 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 11: not focusing on what is happening on the ground and think, 356 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 11: thank you JD for going there to give a voice 357 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 11: for how these people are still suffering. 358 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the reason. 359 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 9: Why you don't see it is we have such a 360 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 9: fast news cycle. You remember going into the election, it 361 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 9: was everything was it was so competitive. Every single day 362 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 9: there was a breaking news story, and unfortunately that's the 363 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 9: reality of the news cycle. Now, these people in North 364 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 9: Carolina are waiting for assistance. 365 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 7: FEMA didn't show up, which by the way FEMA did. 366 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 9: The Director FEMA was in front of a Congressional oversight 367 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 9: meeting getting grilled about why, where was where's the money? 368 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 9: How much of you spent on on illegals in New 369 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 9: York City and across this country. It's it's something that, 370 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 9: like I said, once Trump gets in office, we are 371 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 9: going to shift the focus on helping everybody. 372 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 7: Else to helping Americans first. 373 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 9: But I think it's a big part of our news cycle, 374 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 9: to be honest with you, It's just it's what is 375 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,959 Speaker 9: in the news today. And unfortunately this story has got 376 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 9: kicked down the rundown quite a ways. 377 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 11: And another point that raises too is just you know, 378 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 11: the competency of FEMA. Maybe we should be looking at 379 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 11: should FEMA be under DHS, Should the Secret Service be 380 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 11: under DHS anymore? Do you think that they're going to 381 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 11: see a restructuring of DHS under the Trump administration. 382 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 9: I think DOGE might have a big part of that, 383 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 9: as if a DOGE can take a look at this 384 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 9: and go, Okay, where is the waste, where's the fraud, 385 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 9: where is the things that we can change, perhaps we 386 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 9: can you know, shift that focus to a different department 387 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 9: to get better management on. 388 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 7: It and reminds you these are the same people. 389 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 9: That allegedly was passing up house with Trump signs, remember that. 390 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 11: Exactly in Florida, and Florida investigating and the Tennessee governor 391 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 11: is also investigating if FEMA was doing the same thing 392 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 11: in Tennessee as well. Deciding who gets American tax payer money, 393 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 11: like it's their own money that they get to pass out, 394 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 11: it's taxpayer money. 395 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, they said it was American it's an isolated incident, 396 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 9: but we found several emails from other people that this 397 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 9: was not an isolated incident. 398 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 7: It was something that happened over and over again. 399 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 9: Like I said, it all changes, I think in the 400 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 9: Trump administration, but until then, continue to pray for people 401 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 9: in North Carolina. Obviously, if there's any links to give 402 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 9: and donate your clothing, food money, we certainly encourage everyone 403 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 9: to do that. 404 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 7: Yeah. 405 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 11: Absolutely, and it's another thing too for people to give. 406 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 11: Samaritans Purse is doing an amazing job. Redline Initiatives. They 407 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 11: are on the ground. I speak with them who are 408 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 11: heading that up. They've been on the ground in Tennessee, 409 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 11: They've been on the ground in North Carolina. They're former firefighters, 410 00:18:55,119 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 11: former veterans, marines, a lot of military. There's redline initiatives 411 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 11: right there. They have been on the ground over Thanksgiving, 412 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 11: They're going to be going back again over Christmas. They're 413 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 11: doing this all out of their own volunteering their own time. 414 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 11: And that's what America does. They step up. 415 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 7: Yes, we did. We step up when you need this 416 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 7: thing most. So that's a great shout out to those guys. 417 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 11: Yeah, So with the Trump presidency coming up, bitcoin isn't 418 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 11: going anywhere. Here are the latest value projections on the 419 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 11: cryptocurrency and how that would impact you. Will be right 420 00:19:28,240 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 11: back after this joy break. 421 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 13: I can tell you a lot of eyes were opened 422 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 13: when bitcoin hit one hundred thousand, and I could tell 423 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 13: you a hell a lot more eyes are going to 424 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 13: be opened when bitcoin hits one million. And I'm confident 425 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 13: it's going to hit one million. I think we're all 426 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 13: confident in this room that's going to hit a million. 427 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 5: Oh and that was Eric Trump confidently saying that he 428 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 5: thinks bitcoin will hit one million, and things definitely seem 429 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 5: more certain in the crypto world. Is it going anywhere, 430 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 5: especially under a Trump victory? 431 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 9: Brian so as economy is already in question, let's welcome 432 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 9: the President of Sovereign Capital, Eric Rice, to break down 433 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 9: the future of currentcry. 434 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 7: Here in America. 435 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 9: Eric, thanks for coming on here, and first and foremost, 436 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 9: where do you see the future of bitcoin? I remember 437 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 9: hearing about bitcoin years ago. I was so ignorant of it. 438 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 9: I thought it was a cartoon, to be honest, So 439 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 9: they had no. 440 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 7: Idea what it was. 441 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 9: I think many Americans still to this day don't know 442 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 9: what bitcoin is. 443 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 7: Yeah. 444 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 14: The simplest way to explain bitcoin to people is we 445 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 14: think of it as a currency, right, everyone thinks of 446 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 14: it as money. They think of it as a currency. 447 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 14: But what it is is a full monetary system. So 448 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 14: if you look at the Federal Reserve, it's never been 449 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 14: audited one hundred and eleven years without an audit in 450 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 14: the Federal Reserve. Bitcoin is audited every ten minutes publicly, 451 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 14: so you can see the standards. You can see the 452 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 14: quality of transaction, no double spends, no counterfeit money. So 453 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 14: what bitcoin is providing to the world is financial stability 454 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 14: and transactions, and of course things change over time. It 455 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 14: began as something you would buy coffee with. Now people 456 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 14: are talking about international oil trades using this cross border 457 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 14: payment system. That has no ability to be ever ever 458 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 14: burdened by or overly burdened by a government and sanctions. 459 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 14: That's really the key point to it is international trade, 460 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 14: big money deals. They're being done in bitcoin already. And 461 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 14: now you have nation states that are looking at as 462 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 14: a treasury you reserve. So of course we know it's 463 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 14: scarce twenty one million bitcoin, but what it really is 464 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 14: is its freedom. You know, if you look at the 465 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 14: Canadian truckers, if they had money in bitcoin, their bank 466 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 14: accounts wouldn't have been frozen. True, governments are overreaching through 467 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 14: their authority right now. They're overreaching consistently into our freedoms. 468 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 14: And bitcoin provides a way out of the system. It's 469 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 14: an escape raft from the central banking system. 470 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 3: Okay, let me ask you this. 471 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 5: You said it's scarce, so can you produce more bitcoin? 472 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 3: How does that work? 473 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 7: How does work? No? 474 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 14: Right, So we look at gold, right like we think 475 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 14: of gold is scarce. Well, they just found there's rumors 476 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 14: that they found three trillion dollars in gold in Honduras 477 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 14: Salvador that area, another one hundred billion in China. We 478 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 14: find when the price of gold goes up, more gold 479 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 14: is mined. Bitcoin is mined through a digital system with scarcity. 480 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 14: So we talk about twenty one million, but it actually. 481 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 10: Doesn't say that in the code. 482 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 14: The code actually has a series of having events that 483 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 14: lead up to about twenty million twenty point nine million, 484 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 14: so it's not even really twenty one and three and 485 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 14: a half million bitcoin have already been lost. But the 486 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 14: beauty of bitcoin for everyone. You look at a bitcoin, 487 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 14: it's one hundred thousand dollars, but the beauty of it 488 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 14: is it breaks into one hundred million different fractions called Satoshi's, 489 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 14: So you can buy bitcoin for ten dollars. You don't 490 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 14: have to have one hundred thousand dollars to get in, 491 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 14: but you're getting into what I believe will be a 492 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 14: major area for financial capture for the global capital market. 493 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 14: And those global capital markets right now are nine hundred 494 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 14: to nine hundred and thirty trillion dollars huge market. 495 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: I'm just shocked. 496 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 3: How do you lose bitcoin? 497 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 9: When you mentioned that, I hear about people getting locked 498 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 9: out of their wallet, or they lose. 499 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 7: It, or they forget their pass code. 500 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 9: That's a major problem because I can't half the time 501 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 9: remember the past go on my phone more or less. 502 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 7: A bitcoin, So how does that work? 503 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 14: Well, So I pull one out of my pocket here 504 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 14: and go we're live. So we'll go live here. So 505 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 14: you have a cold wallet that you store your bitcoin in. 506 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: So, yeah, that's a bitcoin wallet. 507 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't have thirty million on here, but if 508 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 14: you have thirty million dollars, you could carry this anywhere 509 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 14: in the world. 510 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 3: And say, Brian might try to rob you. 511 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 14: Yeah, Brian's got quick hands too, So I'm going to 512 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 14: make sure I put this in my pocket quick. 513 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,479 Speaker 7: But what happens with this is you store that out 514 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 7: because I want to. I want to start it. Go ahead, 515 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 7: as you go ahead, talk about it, we'll hold it up. 516 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 14: Sure, you store your digital value in a security system 517 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 14: like this, so I have to connect it to I 518 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 14: have to know a twenty four keyword password to get in, 519 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 14: plus a phrase. So I have to have all this 520 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 14: security that's held in my mind. So the government has 521 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 14: to extract it. 522 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 7: That's the problem you lost me on it's in my mind. 523 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 7: I don't know if I can do that. 524 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 10: Well, that's a steel trap. You're the human growth hormone. 525 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 7: We just talked about that beforehand, right. 526 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 14: But the nice thing is there's also something called multi 527 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 14: sig storage, which is kind of like a safe deposit 528 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 14: box at your bank. I use a company called Unchained Capital, 529 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 14: and they give me two of these. So if I 530 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 14: lose this in a boating accident here in Palm Beach, 531 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 14: I have another one back home, and they're a third signature. 532 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 14: So while we think of that, this is pretty dangerous 533 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 14: for people who aren't technologically savvy. That's why ETFs were created, 534 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 14: so people could build and build their portfolios into the 535 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 14: price action of bitcoin. But they actually don't own bitcoin. 536 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 14: Neither does black Rock. By the way, the ETF owns 537 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 14: the bitcoin. Blackrock is the manager, So coinbase holds all 538 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 14: the bitcoin storage for them and clients get to appreciate 539 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 14: on price action. Now, when you hold it yourself, you 540 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 14: have more power. I can literally go anywhere in the 541 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 14: world right now with all of my money and buy 542 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 14: whatever I want. 543 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 7: Throughout the world, I said. 544 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 9: Episode on one of these real estate shows, this young 545 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 9: real estate broker was offered like two bitcoin for his place. 546 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 7: He turned it down. 547 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 9: He's like, you dummy, it's now worth twenty million dollars 548 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 9: or whatever. 549 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 7: The county billion. Three billion? Wow, yeah, three billion. 550 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 5: Do you anticipate in the future? People just walking around 551 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 5: with these bitcoin walts. I've never seen that before. 552 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 7: Actually, no, well, here you hold it. I'm afraid to yeah, 553 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 7: I'm afraid to lose. 554 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 5: Well, this is around of power in my hands right now, 555 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 5: I feel like I need to be careful. 556 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 7: Is this the future? Yes, it is. 557 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 14: So they're building technologies right now where you can store 558 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 14: it that way and hold it. But you have a 559 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 14: wallet on your phone, so through the Lightning network with bitcoin, 560 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 14: you can do a transaction in a few seconds for 561 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 14: a few dollars literally by swiping your phone and using 562 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 14: a QR code. But in my opinion, I think that 563 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 14: that's probably going to be the tertiary use of bitcoin. 564 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 14: It's originally going to be used for appreciation and store 565 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 14: of capital. Then it'll be used for large international trades, 566 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 14: and in the end, places like Al Salvador, you can 567 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 14: buy a cup of coffee with bitcoin no problem, because 568 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 14: they've legalized it. They've made it something that people can use. 569 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 5: Talk about that, because you were talking about the gold 570 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 5: in l Salvador. What do you think is going to happen. 571 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 5: They're at a crossroads right now, whether they do take 572 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 5: advantage of this opportunity and mind the goal or they 573 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 5: stick to their environmental policies. 574 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 10: Well, that's the danger that they have. 575 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 14: So they also walk a fine line because they actually 576 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 14: mandated in El Salvador that you have to take bitcoin 577 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 14: as legal tender. So their deal with the IMF, the 578 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 14: IMF's offering them one point three trillion dollars because they 579 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 14: have three trillion in gold reserves. That's kind of the hook. 580 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 14: Now the environmental piece goes away pretty quickly. We've seen 581 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 14: that in this country if there's a lot of money 582 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 14: in that politicians turn their cheek to the environmental issues. 583 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 14: But what I think is happening there is a really 584 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 14: strange game of really high level chess. 585 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 7: So Boukeele is. 586 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 10: A very intelligent guy. 587 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 14: He's definitely worldly, but the thing about him is that 588 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 14: he has a chance to take a one point three 589 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 14: trillion from the IMF in order to basically tell his 590 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 14: business as an El Salvador, Hey, guys, you can either 591 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 14: stay on the bitcoin standard and your money appreciates at 592 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 14: forty fifty percent a year, or you can take that 593 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 14: paper money from the IMF. 594 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 10: It's up to you. 595 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 14: That's the goal. So I think what they're going to 596 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 14: do there if I was Bouqueta. I would take the loan, 597 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 14: I would mine the gold, I would sell the gold, 598 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 14: and I would buy bitcoin, and I'd put my country 599 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 14: in a permanent position of buying power. 600 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 3: You're writing this down, Bren. 601 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 7: I'm trying to take mental notes, but I don't. I can't. 602 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 9: I'm still trying to remember what my password would be 603 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 9: if I had bitcoin. 604 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 3: I want to post it note. That's how we're going 605 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 3: to remember. 606 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 7: That's bad. 607 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 5: It's interesting. You know, you look at bitcoin. How is 608 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 5: this SEC going to regulate this down the line? 609 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 2: Now? 610 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 3: What will their position be in all of this? 611 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 14: The SEC won't. So bitcoin is not a security. It 612 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 14: doesn't have a CEO, it doesn't have a board of directors. 613 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 7: It's not you. 614 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 14: There's no corporate financing where you can sell bitcoin and 615 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 14: build your business from bitcoin. Bitcoin is decentralized. That's the 616 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 14: hardest part for people to understand. In all of our lifetime, 617 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 14: we have never had anything decentralized. 618 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 10: Nothing. 619 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 14: Everything that we have touched monetarily has had a control source, 620 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 14: the central bank, the SEC, or corporation. 621 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 10: So it'll be. 622 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 14: Regulated under the commodities commodities regulations. It is a legal commodity. 623 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 14: It has full legal transparency as a commodity. So the 624 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 14: way that it'll be regulated is in its usage. You 625 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 14: can't regulate the system. The system is controlled by millions 626 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 14: and millions of computers throughout the world. 627 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 10: They can't regulate that. 628 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 3: How do you think they'll regulate the usage? 629 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 12: Then? 630 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 14: I think that in the end, what we're watching with 631 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 14: Donald Trump is I think he's going to actually bring 632 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 14: the bitcoin stockpile to this country, buy a ton of it. 633 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 14: We have a lot of gold also, Michael Saylor I 634 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 14: talked to this on my podcast four months ago that 635 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 14: a smart move would be to sell a lot of 636 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 14: our gold by bitcoin with it, drive the price up 637 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 14: and permanently embed yourself as an empire. And I think 638 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 14: that's the process that we're going through because the price 639 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 14: action from a two trillion dollar market to a thirty 640 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 14: trillion dollar market is extensive, so you would build in 641 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 14: international global buying power. And Trump has even said himself, 642 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 14: maybe we'll pay off the central bank with a little bitcoin. 643 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 10: The only way that can happen is at a two 644 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 10: hundred trillion dollar market. 645 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 7: This is we got to have you back on it. 646 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 7: I'm fascinated by with your wallet. 647 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 5: I never thought i'd see the day in which we're 648 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 5: having actual conversations about bitcoin. 649 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 3: As you had said back in the day, you didn't 650 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 3: think this would. 651 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 7: I never thought it would stick around. 652 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 14: Same So in twenty I don't know, fourteen or something, 653 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 14: I did a presentation. Somebody said, can you fill in 654 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 14: for a guy said, don't know an think about bitcoin? 655 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 14: I did the worst bitcoin presentation in the history of 656 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 14: the world. In the end, I said, this is never 657 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 14: going to work.

They are going to look at everything 831 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 9: and of course, uh there is a subcommittee on Oversight 832 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 9: that is chaired by Marjorie Taylor Green, who will take 833 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 9: a look at all of these different areas in our government. 834 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 9: And then what they're going to do is, you know, 835 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 9: do a report and then give it to those two 836 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 9: guys and they're going to come up with what they 837 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 9: can do for recommendations and and and that's but we're 838 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 9: talking everything from PBS, MPR, from the media to the military. 839 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 9: They're going to find all the waste, abuse and fraud 840 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 9: and our government and they're going to make it happen. 841 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 9: And this is the most anticipated committee I personally have 842 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 9: ever covered since been in Washington, d C. I think 843 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 9: it's going to be exciting and I can't wait to see. 844 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 4: And it's so interesting because Brian, because you've got usually 845 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 4: a CEO or from the private sector would be in 846 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 4: the hot seat. Congress would be grilling them. This time 847 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 4: it's a little different. Yeah, they're going to be the 848 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 4: ones calling the orders and from your mouth to God's ears. 849 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor Green somehow just appears in studio and she's 850 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 4: sitting to my left. Well, we just so perfect timing 851 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 4: to talk about this because you're going to be cheariring 852 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,399 Speaker 4: a subcommittee on DOGE. You've met with Elan, you've met 853 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 4: with Vivek. Tell us exactly what's going on and what 854 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 4: that process is looking like right now, we. 855 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 16: Are gearing up. That's what's happening. So the entire administration 856 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 16: is hiring people, we're doing interviews, we're going through that process. 857 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 16: But in Congress, we are preparing to start our new 858 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 16: committees for the next Congress. 859 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 3: You know, this. 860 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 16: Congress, we still have Joe Biden as president. Everybody everyone 861 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 16: kind of forgets that. You know, we all be, oh, 862 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 16: my gosh, we won the election on November fifth, everything's great. Now, 863 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 16: Well it's not. Joe Biden is still president, whether he 864 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 16: knows it or not. And we are still under our 865 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 16: old Congress. So January third, we swear in, We set 866 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 16: up our new committees, and I'm very excited to be 867 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 16: chairing the DOGE Committee. 868 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 5: What cuts are you most excited to see happen? I mean, 869 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 5: there are so many, there's so much government waste. 870 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 16: Oh man, don't tease me right for a while. 871 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: Well, pretty much. I think everything is on the table. 872 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 16: And that's why I'm excited about this committee is we 873 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 16: can go into every branch of government, every agency, every grant, 874 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 16: foreign aid for example, we can go into every single 875 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 16: area and really take a look and investigate what's happening. 876 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 16: Looking at the spending, looking at the waste, the fraud, 877 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 16: the abuse. That's what we do on oversight, and then 878 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,280 Speaker 16: I'm very excited to be giving solutions to these problems. 879 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 16: You see, that's what's missing in Washington. There's always hearings, 880 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 16: always strongly worded letters, but we never see a lot 881 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 16: of solutions, and I'm looking forward to providing solutions. 882 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 3: Absolutely No, Marjorie. 883 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 2: I want to follow up on something that we talked 884 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,800 Speaker 2: about last time you're in studio with us, the FEMA response, 885 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 2: especially in North Carolina. Walk us through what you know 886 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 2: about this and what you hope President Trump does with 887 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 2: FEMA once he gets into office. 888 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 4: Wow. 889 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 16: I was so happy to see our upcoming Vice president 890 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,320 Speaker 16: jd Vance there just last week. 891 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: I thowt it. 892 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 7: Gosh. 893 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,359 Speaker 16: You know, America did the right thing by supporting him 894 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 16: to be vice president with President Trump, and I'm so 895 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 16: glad President Trump picked him. The poor people in western 896 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 16: North Carolina are still homeless, they're sleeping in tents, they're 897 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,760 Speaker 16: not receiving their big seven hundred and fifty dollars checks, 898 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 16: a lot of them are being denied, and it's truly 899 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 16: I think it's the ultimate failure of our government. We're 900 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,760 Speaker 16: watching one billion dollars being handed over to Ukraine. We're watching, 901 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,280 Speaker 16: you know, hundreds of millions of dollars being given to Africa. 902 00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 16: We found out today that the Biden administration unfrozed ten 903 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 16: billion dollars in assets to Iran three days after the election. 904 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 16: But the people in Western North Carolina, American citizens, taxpayers 905 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 16: have been treated like scum of the earth gods. 906 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: I think people should go to present over it. 907 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're correct. 908 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 7: Yeah. 909 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about a story that's very close to 910 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 4: home literally for you, and that was a bomb threat 911 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 4: that happened at your home. I know there was some 912 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 4: unfortunate news that came out. I'd love to give you 913 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 4: the opportunity to talk about it. Why this kind of 914 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 4: thing happens, the madness that's out there, especially directed at 915 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 4: you personally, and how you kind of process that. 916 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:40,280 Speaker 16: You know, I'm really heartbroken about it, heartsick about it, 917 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 16: very sad. My Rome City police they take care of 918 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 16: me unbelievably. I get a lot of threats to me personally, 919 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 16: the swatting calls I can't even count anymore. But a 920 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 16: pipe bomb threat came over the weekend and the police 921 00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 16: were responding to that threat. Someone had sent any saying 922 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 16: that there was a pipe bomb in my mailbox, and 923 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 16: as an officer was en route, a woman pulled accidentally 924 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 16: pulled out in front of him, and tragically she was 925 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 16: killed in the car accident. And so here there was 926 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 16: a woman in my hometown that lost her life because 927 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 16: someone made a pipe bomb threat to me, and a 928 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 16: police officer today is having to deal with the harsh 929 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 16: reality of that accident, and so is the entire department 930 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 16: having to deal with it because someone made a pipe 931 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 16: bomb threat to me. And I almost don't have words 932 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 16: to describe it, but I honestly think that if we 933 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,879 Speaker 16: catch this person, there should be murder charges against them 934 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 16: along with the pipe bomb threat charges against me. But 935 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 16: I believe that the same person that made these pipe 936 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 16: bomb threats, and I think they're investigating this is the 937 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 16: same person that also threatened Trump cabinet picks and possibly 938 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 16: Democrats here recently trying to trying to divide us with 939 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 16: two different messages. So I think this is extremely serious, 940 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 16: especially coming off over a year where Trump President Trump 941 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 16: was nearly assassinated twice, and never forget Steve Scalase was 942 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 16: shot on a baseball field along with other Republicans and 943 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 16: all the political violence that's happened. We can we'll never forget, 944 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 16: like BLM, Antifa, violent riots and all these things. And 945 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 16: it's really dangerous times we're living in. But the story 946 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,919 Speaker 16: is I'm not the victim. The victim is the poor 947 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 16: woman that lost her life and the police officers who 948 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 16: are having to respond to. 949 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 1: All these calls. 950 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 951 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 5: Well, Congressman, this comes as well as you look at 952 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 5: what's happening right now with the shooter, Luigi Mangioni, and. 953 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 3: You're seeing so many people on TikTok praise him. 954 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,720 Speaker 5: This is a man that lost his life for seeing 955 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 5: CEOs of other healthcare companies pull their staff off of 956 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 5: the websites because they're scared. 957 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 3: Where do you think this violence is coming from? 958 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 5: And do you think it's just going to get exacerbated 959 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 5: as we continue into the Trump era with some of 960 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 5: these people. 961 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm glad you've asked that question. 962 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 16: And I've been watching this sunful and I believe it's 963 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 16: the beginning of a political movement, you. 964 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 1: Know, the left, you know, and the right political movements. 965 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 16: They tried different tactics, they tried protests, they try marches, 966 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 16: they try storming congressmen and women's offices, they try violence, 967 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 16: they try riots, and oftentimes, when they're not successful, you know, 968 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,399 Speaker 16: maybe they're moving to assassinating just one person in order 969 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 16: to make the changes they think they want. But there 970 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 16: should never be a time where people are cheering on 971 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 16: the death of an innocent man, a murder that happened 972 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,879 Speaker 16: on video that we've all seen unfold over and over 973 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 16: again on the news. And this is someone that was 974 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 16: clearly mentally unstable and came from a life of privilege 975 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 16: and went and killed a CEO for whatever his reasons are, 976 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 16: and supposedly as a manifesto. But what I'm more concerned 977 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 16: about is we've seen the left push for socialized medicine 978 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 16: for years. You know, Bernie Sanders had Medicare for all. 979 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 16: I hope this doesn't turn into where they take this 980 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 16: guy they're praising, right and make him some sort of 981 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 16: hero that they all worship, and then pick up the 982 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,840 Speaker 16: mantra and move it and go after other people. 983 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a movement that we certainly don't want to see. Now, 984 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,399 Speaker 2: I do want to ask you about another headline coming 985 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 2: out of New York City. Daniel Penny. He was acquitted yesterday. 986 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 2: Tell us your reaction to this, Praise God, Yes. 987 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 16: That I you know, I think that was something that 988 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 16: all of us were thrilled to see happen. 989 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 1: He's a hero. This guy is a hero. 990 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,799 Speaker 16: And then there's a mob out like basically calling for 991 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 16: his head on a platter because they're unhappy that the 992 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 16: white man, you know, was found not guilty. They really 993 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 16: wanted him to be found guilty. They wanted him in prison, 994 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 16: just like Derek Schauvin. And it didn't happen. And I 995 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 16: really find that as a sign of hope that our 996 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 16: justice system is restoring itself back to real, true, fair 997 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 16: justice because we've the justice system and courtrooms completely weaponized 998 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,720 Speaker 16: over the past four years. I thank god that Daniel 999 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 16: Penny was found not guilty, and I think all of 1000 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 16: America is celebrating that absolutely. 1001 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 2: We were saying that earlier in the show that the 1002 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,880 Speaker 2: jurors actually were able to see the light on this 1003 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 2: one and they were actually able to try this fairly 1004 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 2: and give him the outcome that he deserved. It was 1005 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 2: said to see all of the reactions, the BLMS kind 1006 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 2: of reactions trying to incite violence afterward and I hope 1007 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,319 Speaker 2: that this isn't the kind of movement that you were 1008 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 2: speaking about here. 1009 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it'd be ridiculous. 1010 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 16: It's like, look this, he saved people's lives, and there 1011 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 16: were a variety of races on that subway train where 1012 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 16: he saved people's lives. This had nothing to do with racism. 1013 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 16: He wasn't killing someone based on their color. He really 1014 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 16: was a good guy stepping in and stopping a bad 1015 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,280 Speaker 16: guy from committee more crimes and killing people. 1016 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 4: Well, you're very passionate, Congress when we always like that, 1017 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,240 Speaker 4: it seems an issue.

One of the 1023 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 16: questions I've been asking in interviews is do you feel 1024 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,240 Speaker 16: that gender affirming care on miners should be a felony? 1025 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,359 Speaker 16: And the reality is it should be a felony. Any 1026 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 16: adult doctor that prescribes hormone blockers, puberty blockers, that prescribes 1027 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 16: doesnaseectomies or castrations on children absolutely. 1028 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,360 Speaker 1: Should be should be found guilty and it should be 1029 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 1: a felony. 1030 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 16: And that's what my bill does, is it would make 1031 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 16: it a felony to perform gender affirming care on children. 1032 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,280 Speaker 1: Kids need to be left alone. 1033 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 16: You know, it's not adults can make up their mind 1034 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 16: to do whatever they want, but kids need to be 1035 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:45,240 Speaker 16: left alone. 1036 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 9: But what's interesting is we expect Democrats to be against this. 1037 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 9: Why can't we have a collective backing from the Republican 1038 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:55,800 Speaker 9: party on this topic. 1039 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 7: Why don't more Republicans back this bill? 1040 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 16: You know, Brian, I can't understand it. I think there's 1041 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:03,840 Speaker 16: a lack of courage there. 1042 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,320 Speaker 1: To some of them. It's an uncomfortable issue. 1043 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 16: But if you talk to Americans, this is an eighty 1044 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:14,720 Speaker 16: percent issue across the aisle. Republican and Democrat parents do 1045 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 16: not want their kids to be trans brainwashed, soul genderalized, 1046 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 16: and they don't want their children engaging in these gender 1047 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,840 Speaker 16: affirming care treatments. 1048 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,399 Speaker 1: So no, we're going to need our. 1049 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 16: Republicans to step up because we have a president that's 1050 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 16: coming into office that will sign this bill into law. 1051 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 5: Well, Brian, was the point, because if you look at 1052 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 5: the data, you see Democrats that even agree with this issue, 1053 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,919 Speaker 5: So talk about the mental health aspect of that, because 1054 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 5: I think it's something a lot of people neglect. 1055 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,840 Speaker 3: I mean, this is very bad for kids' mental health. 1056 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 16: It is, and I'm really happy again, I said, you know, 1057 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 16: I've been interviewing people today for HHS who will be 1058 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,440 Speaker 16: working under RFK, who's going to be fantastic, and we've 1059 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 16: been talking about the mental health aspect of this and 1060 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 16: how danger it is, dangerous it is for children.

What they've seen, 1064 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,280 Speaker 16: these hormone block puberty blockers. I had one doctor telling 1065 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,839 Speaker 16: me today when you block puberty, you literally change the 1066 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 16: brain of a growing child. That alone, we're not even 1067 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 16: talking about the surgeries, but the changes their brain.
