Speaker 3: I se him.

00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Live, breaking news right now here in Real America's fool filter.

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: These people are domestic terrorists and unapologet.

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: We're here to take a stand for God and country.

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: Is Wednesday, the thirtieth of April. It's good at the

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: day's top choice. As always, thank you for spending time

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: with us yere on Real America's Voice. We truly appreciate it.

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: In only his first one hundred days in office, President

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: Trump has had a number of accomplishments bringing investments back

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: to America. My colleague Terrence Bates had a chance to

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: sit down with Senator marsh and Blackbird of Tennessee to

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: discuss what the investments look like in her state.

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: So far more on that.

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: Also, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released the first quarter

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: analysis of Gross domestic Product for the current year, and

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: it seems business owners are having a grim outlook on

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: the economy. But there is one way to turn things around,

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: extending the twenty seventeen Trump tax cuts. Many say more

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: on that coming up and then later in a determined

29
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: bid to showcase success. California Committee colleges has seemingly become

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: a playground for fraud and fake student accounts to siphon

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: off financial aid thirteen.

32
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: Million dollars so far.

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: In counting all the details and updates coming your way,

34
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: but first we start with this. One hundred days one

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: hundred days of President Trump have never looked better. I'm

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: seeing more confidence and optimism from Americans than I have before.

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: I attended the president rally in Macomb County, Michigan yesterday.

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: Here's part of what I witnessed.

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 4: Thanks for all of the things that we've done into

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 4: our policies. Trillions of dollars are now pouring into the

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: United States because of common sense, just common sense. Apple,

42
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 4: great company who's building everything in China. Now they just

43
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 4: announce that they're spending five hundred billion dollars to invest

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: in America, not in China. My friend Jensen from Navidia,

45
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 4: they're spending.

46
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: You know what Navidia is.

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: There's spending five hundred billion dollars. TSMC, the biggest chipmaker

48
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 4: in the world by far, from Taiwan. They're spending two

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 4: hundred billion dollars. In the United States, Amazon twenty one

50
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 4: billion dollars, Johnson and Johnson fifty five billion dollars, THEMAC

51
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: twenty billion dollars. Merk Stillanta's General Motors are putting in

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 4: billions and billions of dollars.

53
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: And many other company Yeah, and many other companies. We

54
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: talked about this yesterday.

55
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: A secure border, safer streets, less government waste, a return

56
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: to American greatness on the global stage.

57
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: What's not to like?

58
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: One of the benefits of having President Trump back in

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: office and seeing government corruption rooted out for all to see,

60
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: for all to see. For the last several years, conservative

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: commentators and regular folks people like you and me have

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: felt silenced or shadow banned, or canceled, or whatever you

63
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: want to call it. We saw some of this come

64
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: out with the Twitter files, remember that. But Secretary of

65
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: Saint Marco Rubio just revealed that a that a fund

66
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: of fifty million dollars was funding a shadow agency in

67
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: the State Department that was centuring conservative voices like mine.

68
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: It all started over a decade ago with a program

69
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: designed to contract terrorist messaging from groups like Al Kaita

70
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: and ISIS.

71
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Doesn't sound too sinister, right, But then.

72
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: Then after the twenty sixteen election, the shifted its focus

73
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: to suppose foreign interference and elections, and the man running

74
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: the show to side of the Donald Trump.

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: And his supporters fit the bill listen.

76
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 5: By twenty twenty, it had grown into this movement of

77
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 5: like actually going after individual American voices. And one of

78
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 5: the ways I was being done wasn't just directly because

79
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 5: the guy that was running this thing, Stingle, was actually

80
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 5: a guy that was out there saying, you know, Donald

81
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 5: Trump talks just like a Russian spy. He talks just

82
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 5: like a terrorist, and so do the people around them.

83
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: But they were also taking money from this program and

84
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 5: using it to fund these NGOs, these third party groups

85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 5: that were supposed to be like impartials.

86
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the State Department used your taxpayer dollars, your money

87
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: to fund that these supposed impartial NGOs and go after

88
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: conservative voices.

89
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 5: Here's more, those groups were then tagging they were literally

90
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 5: taggling and labeling voices in American politics. Ben Shapiro, the Federalists, others,

91
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 5: tagging them as foreign agents. So you look at us, say,

92
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 5: American taxpayers through the State Department, we're paying groups to

93
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 5: attack Americans and to try to silence the voice of Americans.

94
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 5: And they were consequence, these were just a label they

95
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 5: put on people. Some of these people got deplatformed, they

96
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 5: got taken down, they couldn't communicate.

97
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: So it's outrageous.

98
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 5: So before President Trump took over, they disbanded this unit,

99
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 5: they just renamed it and moved.

100
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: It somewhere else.

101
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 5: But now over the last few months, we've worked on

102
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 5: it and just taken it down and to the extent

103
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 5: we're spending money now, we are going to spend money

104
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 5: on messaging. It's going to be pro American messaging, and

105
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 5: it's going to be incentivizing and protecting free speech, which

106
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 5: is threatened in all over the world, including countries that

107
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 5: are allies of ours. The best way to counter disinformation,

108
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 5: that's what people are thinking is out there. The best

109
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 5: way to counter disinformation is free speech.

110
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: Free speech. That's how you counter all of these problems

111
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: free speech.

112
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: That's what I voted for. For grubs.

113
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: You like this to be rooted out, named and shamed

114
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: and dragged out into the light, Like Secretary of Rubio says,

115
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: free speech under attack. It is the envy of the world,

116
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: our first amendment. We must protect it. We've seen the

117
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: European Union completely throw free speech out the window, tracking

118
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: down in anyone who posts anything deemed offensive. Even during

119
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: this last election cycle, the EU thread Elon Musk with

120
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: penalties after he hosted an ex discussion with President Trump.

121
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: Now ask yourself, how could the European Union possibly meddle

122
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: in a discussion between two non EU citizens discussing non

123
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: EU American politics. Well, this is why it's so important

124
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: that America remains the shining beacon for free speech and

125
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: freedom everywhere. But had an establishment candidate or Kamala Harris

126
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: won the election last year, we would have continued down

127
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: that same path to a dark place without true free speech,

128
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: where memes would get you thrown in jail like they

129
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: do in the UK. We would have never known that

130
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: our tax dollars were being used to break down our

131
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: fundamental rights. Secretary of Rubio says he's doing more than

132
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: just outing the program. He's documenting the abuses that took

133
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: place so that it hopefully never happens again.

134
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: Here he is.

135
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think what we have to do now,

136
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 5: and Darren it'll be big and balld in that as well,

137
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 5: is sort of document what's happened. Because one thing is

138
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 5: to say it in a broadcast like this. Another thing

139
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 5: is to actually put it on paper. And there's two

140
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 5: reasons to do it. The first is because I think

141
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 5: people who are harmed deserve to know that and be

142
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 5: able to prove that they were harmed. And then the

143
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 5: other is to make sure it never happens again. Right,

144
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 5: so that ten years from now, when someone has a

145
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 5: brilliant idea like this again, you know, not brilliant idea

146
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 5: like this again, you can point to that and say, oh,

147
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 5: this was done once before, and here's the reason why

148
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 5: we know. That's why accountability is important in these things,

149
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 5: because it doesn't just provide justice, but it also prevents

150
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 5: it from happening in the future. You have something you

151
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: can point to at the same time and say these

152
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 5: are the kinds of things we want to stay away from.

153
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 2: Yeah.

154
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: Now, Ruby also says the administration will continue to fight

155
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: for free speech as a core democratic value all over

156
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: the world.

157
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: Here's one last.

158
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: Thought we raised that we've raised that.

159
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: I mean, I can tell you we were at an

160
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 5: Oval Office meeting where the Prime Minister of the United

161
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 5: Kingdom and this issue came up. So this has been raised.

162
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 5: It becomes part of our diplomatic situation that we raise

163
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 5: when we interact with foreign interlocateurs. I think what's troubling

164
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: is we understand that's always going to be an issue

165
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 5: when you certain countries around the world, but when you're

166
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 5: dealing with Western European allies and that's who you're talking

167
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 5: to about this stuff, it really tells you how far

168
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 5: it's gone and how big a problem and is. So

169
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 5: that's a new thing for us to have to raise

170
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 5: in those capitals. We do it, and we do it everywhere,

171
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 5: and I've personally witnessed the President and the Vice President

172
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 5: raised it with multiple foreign leaders. And I think you're

173
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 5: going to continue to see an emphasis on that in

174
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 5: our diplomacy and what we talk about.

175
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: You have to America has to be the shepherd of

176
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: free speech and free will. But even here in America

177
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: where the first round is still in trying the constitution.

178
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: We have the loudest voices, often lying straight to your face.

179
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: Free speech has not.

180
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Always been true speech, or accurate speech, or a honest speech.

181
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: We of course saw that during COVID nineteen, when our

182
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: leaders and the mainstream media continually lied about and covered up.

183
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: The lab Leau theory.

184
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: By the way, we're going to get to that in

185
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: detail in a couple of days. But we saw another

186
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: cover up just last years. The media and the Biden

187
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: White House told us over and over again, don't believe

188
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: your lying eyes when it comes.

189
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: To Joe Biden's cognitive abilities.

190
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: That is until the disastrous presidential made June twenty seventh,

191
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: when it all came crashing down and all of America realized,

192
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: in all the world actually that they had been lied to, not.

193
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: Just for a few months, probably for a few years.

194
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: Of course, if you were listening to me or any

195
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: of the other hosts here on Real America's Voice, you

196
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: knew that I put it.

197
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: Out in front of you every day.

198
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: But the mainstream media is just now starting to acknowledge

199
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: a little bit that they screwed up. The fact of

200
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: the matter is this, and the eyes of many Americans

201
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: trust in the media will never return, not when they've

202
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: called us conspiracy theorists for pointing out what was blatantly obvious.

203
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was never up for the job. White House

204
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: Press Secretary Caroline Levitt doesn't forgive or forget. Listen to

205
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: her response.

206
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 6: I do agree with that assessment from Alex Thompson, who

207
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 6: I understand won an award for writing a story months

208
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 6: and perhaps years after the American people already knew that

209
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 6: story to be true. Millions of Americans watched our mentally

210
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 6: incompetent president struggle with his day to day duties of

211
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 6: this office. We watched our country be ran into the

212
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 6: ground as a result, and nobody in the media wanted

213
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 6: to write about that talk about it. There were many

214
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 6: many reporters, I will say, right leaning reporters who did

215
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 6: talk about that, who didn't get awards, didn't get coverage.

216
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 6: In fact, they were lambasted for their coverage. And I

217
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 6: remember being on President Trump's campaign talking about Joe Biden's

218
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 6: clear mental incompetence and being accused by people in this

219
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 6: room of manufacturing deep fake videos trying to persuade the

220
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 6: public into not believing what they saw with their own

221
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 6: eyes for many years, and I think it's about time

222
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 6: the legacy media finally admits that was one of the

223
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 6: greatest cover ups and scandals that ever took place in

224
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 6: American history. And certainly it did contribute to the decline

225
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 6: and the trust that Americans have for the legacy media here,

226
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 6: which by the way, is why we've made many changes

227
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 6: to this briefing room in this White House. It's long overdue.

228
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: It destroyed the media, the legacy media, that is the

229
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: corporate media. These are the kinds of changes I like

230
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: to see, and I like she says that it's long overdue,

231
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: especially when you have guys like little Chucky Todd who

232
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: still denies that people like him, in fact him specifically

233
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: bare responsibility for this lie, this grotesque lie upon the

234
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: American people and the world actually listened to the weasel.

235
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 7: This is not a media failure. This is a failure

236
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 7: of the Democratic Party. And I just sort of the

237
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 7: virtue signaling that some people have done to try to

238
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 7: say that the media missed this story.

239
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: They didn't miss this story.

240
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 7: David I. Ignatius wrote, I just refuse to accept this

241
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 7: stupid premise because it's a right wing manufactured right wing

242
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 7: premise in order to stain the media. The media has

243
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 7: got plenty of things to attack them for. And there

244
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 7: are MSNBC and CNN and pundits that absolutely carried water

245
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 7: for Joe Biden.

246
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: But they're not journalists.

247
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 7: They are former strategists that carried water for Joe Biden.

248
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 7: This is an attempt by some to virtue signal, and

249
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 7: it's this horrible sort of pitting different news organizations against

250
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 7: each other when ultimately the people at fault are Chuck Schumer,

251
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 7: Nancy Pelosi, Jill Biden.

252
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm gonna lose my lunch if I listen

253
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: to that any longer.

254
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: Of course, you're to blame, Chuck Todd.

255
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: You're dish You're part of a dishonest machine that lied

256
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: to America. You didn't ferret out the truth. You wanted

257
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: to go to the cocktail parties and hang out.

258
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: With the cool people. Yours as much to blame as.

259
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: Anybody else, Chuck Todd, You are part of the problem,

260
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: you and the Democrat Party. But so are the people

261
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: that pretend to be journalists and didn't do their job.

262
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: People like you, Chuck Todd, lie to America, and you

263
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: lied about people like me too. Oh they're out there

264
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 1: lying about Joe Biden. No, sir, that was you. You

265
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: failed your profession. You're an embarrassment to actual journalists working

266
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: in the field. And he wants to differentiate himself from

267
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: MSNBC and Chicken Noodle News because those guys call themselves pundits.

268
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: Chuck Todd, you should be.

269
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: Arrested for felonious impersonation of a journalist. That's what you

270
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: should be arrested for. Impersonating a journalist. A felony charge,

271
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: imprisonable by at least years. Oh you good god. Americans

272
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: all knew something was up. They're getting lied to every

273
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: day for years.

274
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: They knew it. We could see it.

275
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: He'd wander off through the grass around the White House,

276
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: or teeter off the stage, or shake hands with people

277
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: that weren't there. Oh good lord, what a disaster. No more,

278
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: no more of that. We've seen how much change President

279
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: Trump has enacted in the first one hundred days. The

280
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: biggest change changing out the media in the room. That's

281
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: a pretty good start. I can't wait to see what

282
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: happens for the next one hundred days and three plus years.

283
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: President Trump's leadership.

284
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: Is restoring trust by exposing corruption like Chuck Todd and

285
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: defending free speech from the State Department's shadowy censorship to

286
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: media gas. This administration is fighting for truth, and.

287
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: So am I.

288
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: Americans are waking up, demanding accountability, and embracing a renewed

289
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: commitment to our constitutional values, ensuring free speech endures, starting

290
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: right here at home and on this.

291
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: Program every single day.

292
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: Coming up after the break, I'll show you what Senator

293
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee had to say about the investments.

294
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: In her state in that first one hundred days. Straight ahead.

295
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: All right, as we said, it's been one hundred days

296
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: of investment, more than I've ever seen. One of the

297
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: main things the administration is working hard to do is

298
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: bring all that money to America, get the economy ruling.

299
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: My colleague Terrence Bates, had the opportunity to sit down

300
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: with Senator Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee to discuss what that

301
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: means for her state of Tennessee.

302
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: Here's that conversation.

303
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 8: I would like to know from your perspective, how you

304
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 8: assess President Trump's first one hundred days in office, and

305
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 8: maybe even more importantly, what he's been able to accomplish

306
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 8: during the first one hundred days.

307
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 9: And he made promises and he has kept those promises.

308
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 9: And I love the fact that he has worked at

309
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 9: such an aggressive pace. That is so exciting to see

310
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 9: what he has done securing the border and crossings are

311
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 9: down ninety nine percent at that southern border. It just

312
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 9: proves the point we didn't need more laws. We needed

313
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 9: to enforce the laws we had. That meant we needed

314
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 9: a new president. He was exactly right on that. And

315
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 9: then you look at what he has done with getting

316
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 9: inflation down, getting the price of a dozen eggs down,

317
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 9: getting the price of a gallon of gas down, getting

318
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 9: people to the negotiating table when it comes to tariffs

319
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 9: and trade deals, which is going to get the cost

320
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 9: of living down, bringing jobs back to America. In Tennessee,

321
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 9: since Donald Trump was elected, our Economic Development Agency has

322
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 9: landed thirty new projects, has seen over a billion dollars

323
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 9: of capital investment in our state, twelve hundred new jobs,

324
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 9: and about half of that number is direct foreign investment.

325
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 9: So Tennessee is leading the way showing that when you

326
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 9: have good leadership and you are well governed, and you

327
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 9: have no state income tax, then you can bring these

328
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 9: businesses in and we know President Trump's first one hundred

329
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 9: days has made a difference in how people are coming

330
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 9: to our state.

331
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 8: Talk about the effects of President Trump's tariffs on your

332
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 8: state of Tennessee, the thing that comes to mind is

333
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 8: his recent pullback when it comes to automotive tariffs that,

334
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 8: of course I would imagine will directly impact Tennessee. As

335
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 8: what Nissan has a major plant, their Volkswagon, some other

336
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 8: major car industries. What will the impact there be?

337
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 9: Yes, And indeed you have Nissan, Volkswagon, Toyota has a

338
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 9: plant in the state. They do engines. That GM also

339
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 9: has a facility there. Ford is building a facility, and

340
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 9: we were so pleased to see that there are going

341
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 9: to be exemptions for the auto manufacturers. In addition, two

342
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 9: things that are USMCA compliant, and of course not everything

343
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 9: is USMCA compliant. We are pleased that these manufacturing companies, Nissan, Toyota,

344
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 9: VW have chosen to bring their facilities into our state.

345
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 9: And now we know it's going to help keep the

346
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 9: cost of an automobile down by making certain that tariffs

347
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 9: are not stacked and by making certain that component parts

348
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 9: are going to be exempted for those vehicles that are

349
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 9: built and assembled in the US.

350
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 8: Well, there's been a lot of talk about tariffs on

351
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 8: the opposite side of the US Capital. There's also lots

352
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 8: of talk about the budget. I'm sure lots of talk

353
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 8: as well in your chamber. House Speaker Mike Johnson says

354
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 8: that he expects to pass a House resolution or a

355
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 8: House version of the budget reconciliation bill by Memorial Day

356
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 8: in order to get it to you and your colleagues

357
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 8: in the Senate. How quickly do you think you and

358
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 8: your colleagues there in the Senate can get that measure

359
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 8: onto President Trump's desk.

360
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 9: We are already working on it, and the House and

361
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 9: Senate are working together. Of course, the House is working

362
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 9: off the Senate budget doc. They accepted our numbers. We

363
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 9: are moving forward to make Trump's tax cuts permanent based

364
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 9: on current policy, to actually pass recision bills that will

365
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 9: travel in tandem with the reconciliation bills, so that we

366
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 9: are cutting into the baseline and we are saving the

367
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 9: American taxpayer money.

368
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 8: One of the things that as a casual observer, it

369
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 8: seems to this seems to be a golfer. There seems

370
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 8: to be some space between the House and the Senate

371
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 8: is when it comes to spending cuts. The House is

372
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 8: talking about it would like to see about two trillion

373
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 8: dollars in spending cuts over ten years. The Senate budget

374
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 8: framework wasn't quite as robust. Is that going to be

375
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 8: an achilles heel in these negotiations?

376
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 9: Oh not at all. Bear in mind they had a

377
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 9: seven point one trillion dollar budget. We had a six

378
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 9: and a half trillion dollar budget, and so we start

379
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 9: at a lower number, and we put a floor in

380
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 9: for what you can cut, We put a sailing in

381
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 9: for what you can spend. So continuing to pull these recisions,

382
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 9: these cuts into a recision bill which we can pass

383
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 9: at fifty one votes in the Senate. And the more

384
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 9: we can cut, the better it is going to be,

385
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 9: the lower we are going to get that baseline number down.

386
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 9: And that means that if we can cut into that

387
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 9: six and a half trillion dollar budget, get it back

388
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 9: to a pre COVID number, and then next year achieve

389
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 9: President Trump's goal of having a balanced budget. We all

390
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 9: want to pass President Trump's agenda.

391
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 8: I'm curious what kind of work is happening behind the

392
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 8: scenes to codify DOGE, to make sure the doge isn't

393
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 8: just a one administration trick pony, if you will, but

394
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 8: that it is part of tradition here in US government,

395
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 8: that it's something that sustains beyond the Trump administration.

396
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 9: Yes, and what we are doing is making certain that

397
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 9: we do codify those spending cuts and reductions, and that

398
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 9: means that they have to be put into a recision bill.

399
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 9: So as the White House sends us items, then we

400
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 9: can place that inner recision bill. And as as I said,

401
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 9: in the House, it goes as a majority vote. In

402
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 9: the Senate, it goes as a fifty one vote margin.

403
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 9: So we are looking forward to getting as much as

404
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 9: we possibly can into recision bills that we can pass

405
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 9: as we're doing the reconciliation bills, and.

406
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: Hopefully that bill comes to pass and sometime soon because

407
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: of otherwise, I mean, it's been done so far by

408
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: this administration is for naught. Coming up after the break,

409
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: the Bureau of Economic Analysis released the Gross Domestic Product

410
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: Report for the first quart of twenty twenty five, and

411
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: it's looking good for the economy of many business owners

412
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: are still concerned.

413
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it straight ahead.

414
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: Today the Bureau of Economic Analysis released the first quarter

415
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: analysis of gross domestic product for the current year. The

416
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: last report covered the last three months of twenty twenty

417
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: four and found an increase in consumers spending government spending

418
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: as well, having an increase in both these metrics in

419
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: the case good economic health of the country. The data

420
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: also suggested business involvement decreased. It's important to note because

421
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: it shows that business owners have a tough outlook for

422
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: the economy, at least in some sectors, and continued abstinence

423
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: from participation could drive up the price of goods, being

424
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: that everyday Americans would have to cover the cost. However,

425
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: extending the twenty seventeen tax cuts and implementing stricter government

426
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: spending could offer a path to slowing down DEBTA accumulation,

427
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: providing relief to consumers' wallets. Here to discuss this is

428
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: the President of the Taxpayer's Union, Pete sept Pete, nice

429
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: to see you today. Also, I want to mention there's

430
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: been a change from the Atlanta Fed, who said we're

431
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: going to be down a negative two point seven percent

432
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: into quarter number two, now saying no, no, no, will

433
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: be up.

434
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: Two point four percent. I mean, that's not a small change.

435
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: That's a dramatic change if I'm reading that correctly, that

436
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like a five point one swing, isn't it.

437
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 10: That's pretty wild and it underscores I think a lot

438
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 10: of the policy choices that will get made or not

439
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 10: get made over the next several weeks and months will

440
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 10: determine many of the swings that we're seeing in the economy.

441
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 10: So the most recent quarter of twenty twenty five report,

442
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 10: which was released this morning, shows a point three percent

443
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 10: drop in economic growth the GDP. So what does that mean. Well,

444
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 10: many are bemoaning the fact that businesses are stocking up

445
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 10: on things prior to the imposition of tariffs, and back

446
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 10: and forth and back and forth. The one figure I

447
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 10: saw in there that many economists view negatively was that

448
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 10: there was a five point one percent drop in government spending.

449
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 10: Now I view that as a very positive development. It

450
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 10: means we are finally seeing results from DOGE at the

451
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 10: federal level, from states starting to pair back their budgets.

452
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 10: From other reforms that may be coming in Congress as well,

453
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 10: we do have to get a handle on federal spending.

454
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 10: We cannot continue to rely on deficit finance federal spending

455
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 10: to boost our economy. In fact, that's going to crowd

456
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 10: out the private investment that we need for long term

457
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 10: economic growth.

458
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: So as we weed off the monopoly money, there's going

459
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: to be a little bit of pain here, Pete.

460
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 2: I get that.

461
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: Where you know, they can run the printing presses all

462
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: they want, this administration not doing it like the previous one.

463
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: The down today though, down a couple of hundred points,

464
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: Nasdaq one hundred and eighty s and P forty points. Look,

465
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: the point that I'm making here is that are pretty

466
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: flat for the day. In fact, they are up.

467
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: Overall earlier in the day, and now it's still at

468
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: three hundred. Could you imagine a day where we.

469
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: Be complaining about Dow forty thousand. Here's what I think, Pete.

470
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: I think if the interest rates get cut, we make

471
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: these deals on for the seven major trading partners we have,

472
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: including the EU, Canada, Mexico, the Asian Nations, China, whatever,

473
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: and we get those interest rates down, that we're going

474
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: to go off great guns that we will go. It'll

475
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: be Dow fifty thousand, mark my words. Dow fifty thousand, Pete.

476
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 10: Yeah, And the other components of that have to be

477
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 10: regulatory reform. We have to extend the twenty seventeen taxpayer

478
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 10: relief laws, especially the stable corporate rate, the full and

479
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 10: immediate expensing that businesses are allowed to take when they

480
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 10: make investments, all of the pro family tax relief, and

481
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 10: we have to keep making progress on keeping federal spending

482
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 10: under control. Fortunately, the House of Representatives has a budget

483
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 10: resolution that would do all of those things. Give us

484
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 10: a great start. If we want to see good GDP

485
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 10: growth in future quarterly reports, it can start with that

486
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 10: kind of resolution passing in the next couple of weeks,

487
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 10: getting to the Senate for them to act on it,

488
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 10: and finally getting that thing to the President's desk. You

489
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 10: will see great economic reports following enactment of that bill.

490
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you this, Pete, these next hundred

491
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: day is more important than the first hundred because it

492
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: all becomes real or make believe in these next one

493
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: hundred days.

494
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 2: Pete step thank you for being here. My pleasure. All

495
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 2: right up after the break.

496
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: In a determined bid to showcase success, California community colleges

497
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: has seemingly become a playground for fraud and fake student accounts.

498
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: To siphon On financially, it's steal millions of dollars. In fact,

499
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: details coming up. In December of twenty and twenty three,

500
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: it was reported that fraudsters had created hundreds of thousand

501
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: fake student accounts to siphon money away from the financial

502
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: aid in California's.

503
00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: Community college system.

504
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: And the more alarming part that this problem has persisted

505
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: to this day and now nearly two years later, a

506
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: congressional coalition led by Representative Young Kim is drawing overdue

507
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: attention to this huge problem that has suggested one third

508
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: of applegants to the California community college system last year

509
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: may have been fabricated, one third thirteen million dollars siphoned off.

510
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: It's clear that California's colleges are a playground for fraud

511
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: and failure, so much so that Congress must now step

512
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: in here to discuss this as campus reform higher education.

513
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: Fellow professor Matthew Garrett, professor, nice to see you here.

514
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: How does this happen? How do you have this one third? Really?

515
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: One third? I mean that's just jaw dropping, even in California.

516
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, California has a massive higher education program. In the

517
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 11: California community college system is the largest in the nation

518
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 11: with over two million students and a budget of over

519
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 11: twenty one billion dollars. So there's a lot of money

520
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 11: there to wiggle around with, and there's a lot of

521
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 11: range formulas and metrics used to acquire money. Much of

522
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 11: that involves in creating students. If you have more students enrolled,

523
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 11: more names on rosters, then you get more money, especially

524
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 11: if you have more groups, favored groups. And so what

525
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 11: this does is it promotes and encourages institutions to add

526
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 11: more names and to not aggressively prosecute when names are

527
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 11: fake or when students don't show. And in the end

528
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 11: you ended up with, you know, these millions of fake

529
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 11: students that are just taking financial aid and drawing funds

530
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 11: out of our system.

531
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so.

532
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: Is there no verification system, no way to make sure

533
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: that we're giving money to the kids that Look, there's

534
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: kids that need some financial help to get to college.

535
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: It's a two year of school.

536
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm assuming these community colleges a place for a kid

537
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: to get started to make a way, you know, make

538
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: a decision about their future. There's got to be a

539
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: verification of a system, professor that would work so that

540
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: this wouldn't happen. I mean, how many kids could get educated.

541
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: That the tens of millions of dollars have been stolen.

542
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, there's really not a stable system, a central there's

543
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 11: a centralized enrollment system which allows for fraudsters to come

544
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 11: in and one who make a lot of fake accounts,

545
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 11: but not really a centralized system for following up. And

546
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 11: that's part of the problem. That it's centralized registration but

547
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 11: decentralized enforcement, and so each school is left to itself

548
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 11: to just sort of figure things out. The states made

549
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 11: some weak efforts, but it's nothing that's made much of

550
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 11: a difference, and we're really struggling with that. In addition

551
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 11: to that, there seems to be quite a bit of

552
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 11: other frivolous expenditures in the budget. There's lots of waste

553
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 11: in fraud and so I'm really excited. Campus Reforms is

554
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 11: very excited to see Young Kim and the other congressman

555
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 11: taking a look close to look at this and calling

556
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 11: for an investigation audit of the spending of the California

557
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 11: community college systems.

558
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: I'm terribly confused, Professor.

559
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm terribly confused because I've heard people from California pontificate

560
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: over and over again. How about they're the smartest people

561
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: in the world. They know how to tell us how

562
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: to drive our cars, and how to take care of

563
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: our homes.

564
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 2: And how much water my dishwashers should use it.

565
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: Yet they can't figure out how to end fraud in

566
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: the college system.

567
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: These are the smartest people in the world. I know,

568
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: They've told me so.

569
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 3: Well.

570
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 11: A lot of this is coming out of ideology, and

571
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 11: that's the real problem. It's this eagerness for inclusion, to

572
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 11: remove all boundaries to registration. It's DEI applied and without

573
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 11: any boundaries or expectations or standards. When you went, everyone

574
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 11: in without any questions, eager to get them. Added to that,

575
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 11: the incentive of institutional benefits from more enrollment. It's a

576
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 11: recipe for this sort of disaster.

577
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: So what was that old saying about dragging one hundred

578
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: dollars bill through a trailer park. I remember Democrats saying

579
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: that one time.

580
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: And here in California, you can drag thousands of dollars

581
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: through the community college and write down and all these

582
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: people will take the money and nobody will figure out

583
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: how to fix it. I mean, wouldn't a picture id

584
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: and a student ID or some sort of a way

585
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: to identify yourself eliminate this fraud. I mean, it wouldn't

586
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: that be the smart short way. I'm just a kid

587
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: from Michigan. I'm not that bright. I'm not from California, professor,

588
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: But couldn't solve this problem with some you know, some

589
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: basic guidelines, rules and specification about how you get the money.

590
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: Maybe you have to appear in person with an ID

591
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: to say, okay, I claim my loan.

592
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be the way to do it?

593
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 11: That would be an alternative, But that's not what we're

594
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 11: following right now. We're trying to reduce barriers and allow

595
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 11: students to come in without any real verification of their existence.

596
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 11: And what's alarming about this is that if the State

597
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 11: of California can't tell who's even a real student, they're

598
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 11: that much more detached from assessing who's succeeding and who's

599
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 11: failing in the classroom. And every dollar wasted on the

600
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 11: fraudsters or on other frivolous expenditures are all distractions from education.

601
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 11: I think about how we could have had smaller class sizes,

602
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 11: We could have had students getting a nursing lab or

603
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 11: some other type of facility that would assist and benefit

604
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 11: our community with education. But instead we are watching money

605
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 11: just flow out to oddities, to various programs in fraud

606
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 11: that could be spent on genuine education.

607
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: I've got two questions. The first one is actually serious.

608
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: Why would we reduce barriers to put more kids into

609
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: college when we see so many college graduates that can't

610
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: find a job in their industry and end up doing

611
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: something that's completely unrelated, doesn't pay enough, leaves them a

612
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: student loan debt, or doesn't get a job at all.

613
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: Why would we continue to reduce barriers so that more

614
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: people could have all of those problems.

615
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: In their life.

616
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 11: California is forecasting a shortfall in educated employees, and to

617
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 11: that end, they've determined to pump out as many degrees

618
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 11: as possible, regardless of any merit or education provided by

619
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 11: those degrees. And the result is that are now chancellor

620
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 11: of the community college system is recruiting eighth graders. Indeed,

621
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 11: she's announced she wants all eighth graders to be signed

622
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 11: up to begin community college in ninth grade and continue

623
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 11: because the more head counts you get, the more money

624
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 11: the programs get. And that's really, this is what this

625
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 11: is all about. It's about chasing dollars instead of education, which, of.

626
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: Course that's the way it's been for a while, which

627
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: brings me back to my last question is I guess

628
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: it's somewhat serious. Why have grades at all? I mean,

629
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: if nothing else matters, why keep grades at all? Professor?

630
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of the way we've gone in

631
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot of places. I mean, because it might be

632
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: unfair to Johnny. Johnny could in fact be stupid, but

633
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: we don't want him to have any hurt feelings, and

634
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: so we're not going to allow that to happen. So

635
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: why keep grades? Last question to you, sir, Yeah.

636
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 11: You know some colleges have gone that way, but it's

637
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 11: the lack of standards doesn't really solve the problem. What

638
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 11: we need is quality, merit, rigor. We need people to

639
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 11: be held accountable for their educational experience, and we can

640
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 11: do that. We know how to do that. It's through rigor,

641
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 11: through grade, through close attention to student progress. But this

642
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 11: sort of hands off just let him sign up and

643
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 11: pass out the money program does not really work to

644
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 11: support education.

645
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the honor system's working great in California, Professor I

646
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: greatly appreciate you being here.

647
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: Pardon my sarcasm, but I just couldn't help it. Thank

648
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 2: you so much. All right?

649
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: Coming up in July, there's a global summit of bricks

650
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: Nations and Rio. The block of emerging superpowers include China, Russia, India, Iran.

651
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: They're all meeting with the goal of getting rid of

652
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: the US dollars the global currency. Good luck with that.

653
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: They're calling it the real Reset. Bricks Nations push forward

654
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: with their plans. Global demand for the US dollar could

655
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: possibly jump, bringing down the value of the dollar in

656
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: your savings. While this transition will not happen overnight, the

657
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: real Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when bricks

658
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: objectives move decisively from being a theory to being real.

659
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: Learn of diversifying your savings in the Gold is maybe

Speaker 1: Coming up after the break, we'll have more here on

672
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,479
Speaker 1: America's Voice Line.

673
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: All right.

674
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: Radical leftists continue to fire abound Tesla's in process of

675
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's America First Agenda, but the real damage being

676
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: done in Washington, DC, and according to reports, bureaucrats are

677
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: seemingly using trade rules to undermine everything America First stands.

678
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: For.

679
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: One good example the anti dumping and countervailing duty case

680
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: targeting battery anodes, which are key parts used in Tesla's

681
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: electric vehicles. This case could raise costs and disrupt supply

682
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: chains for Tesla, specifically, one of the most innovative American

683
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: companies today, and as many of you know, it's sown

684
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: by Elon Musk, of course, who's working with President Trump

685
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: and his agenda. On doze here with me to discuss

686
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: this further. As executive director of the Energy Fair Trade Coalition,

687
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: Brett Manley, Brett good to see it seems that you know,

688
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: if targets Donald Trump, or if it targets Elon Musk,

689
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: then it's all free game, isn't it.

690
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is Trump's superpowers.

691
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 12: He takes people and he gets them to reverse positions

692
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 12: they've held their entire life just because they want to

693
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 12: spie him.

694
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you make of this targeting specific components

695
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: of the test? To look, Tesla's sales are down. People

696
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: bought Teslas, a lot of them because they were you know,

697
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: Green New Deal supporters. Now they're being attacked by their

698
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: own kind, their cars being firebombed or keyed or you know,

699
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 1: graffiti or whatever else.

700
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: These people, I'm sorry, but these people seem to have

701
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 2: lost their minds.

702
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think a lot of them

703
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 3: are getting paid for this.

704
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 12: But you know what you're alluding to is there's a

705
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 12: process where foreign companies can petition the Commerce Department, so

706
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 12: bureaucrats can you know, levy tariffs against their competitors. It's

707
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 12: not the process that the President uses on the tariffs

708
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 12: on three oh one or two thirty two. It's a

709
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 12: different process called ADCVD. It happens in secret and buy

710
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 12: and large. There's nothing anybody can do to counteract it,

711
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 12: and what it ends up doing is harming nascent American industries.

712
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 3: You know, we have a lot of these materials.

713
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 12: You and I have talked about this before, a lot

714
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 12: of these materials here in the United States. But we

715
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 12: need to refine those those materials are turned them into

716
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 12: follow them on products elsewhere because we haven't developed that market,

717
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 12: that manufacturing market here, and then re import.

718
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 3: Them in the United States.

719
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 12: So what these foreign companies do is they try to

720
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 12: get terrafs laughed up on those reimportations so that they

721
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 12: can come in and have a preferred, easier path to

722
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 12: sail to sell in the United States. But none of

723
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 12: this actually helps American companies.

724
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the thing. The most American car. Look, I

725
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: live in Michigan. I live in car country. You know,

726
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: one dollar in five in Michigan. Twenty percent of the economy,

727
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: the GDP of Michigan comes from the auto industry. And

728
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: yet that Tesla, any Tesla, is the most American made.

729
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: Car of all. That's a car we should celebrate, isn't it.

730
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: I Mean, I'm not an EV guy.

731
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: I don't want an EV but if I was to

732
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: have one or a very American car, this is it.

733
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: Isn't it.

734
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, I think maybe Americans shouldn't make sixty

735
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 12: thousand dollars political decisions.

736
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 3: With their car. It's just a car.

737
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 12: But you're right about that, you know, if you want

738
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 12: a fully electric vehicle fleet, Tesla really at the moment

739
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 12: is the only maker in the United States exclusively building

740
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 12: electric cars. There isn't anybody else. The other big alternative

741
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 12: is bid out of China. So we have to make

742
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 12: the decision is do we want to support American manufacturing right,

743
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 12: which is the goal of as President America, versus that

744
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 12: we want to bring manufacturing here to the United States?

745
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 12: Or are we going to be so blinded by a

746
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 12: hatred for one person an individual right and theory Tesla

747
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 12: will persist long after Elon Musk has left us. You know,

748
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 12: are we going to let that hatred blind us from

749
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 12: the goals that we need to be a secure nation,

750
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 12: which is have a dominant manufacturing here at home.

751
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's time to put American Well, what do you

752
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: think is going to happen here to Teslam?

753
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 2: Impart?

754
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 1: I'll give you the last word here because they're being targeted,

755
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: their sales are down, supply chain means have issues here

756
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: what do you think what happens.

757
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 3: Well, I think I would never bet against Elon Musk.

758
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 12: You know, he's got the vast majority of his wealth

759
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 12: tied up in Tesla, so I'm sure figure out something.

760
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 3: I think what's next for them?

761
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 12: Ultimately, when self driving gets here, there really is no

762
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 12: other autonomous driving that is There really is no other

763
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 12: company better position to take advantage of that than Tesla.

764
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 12: You know, you have Weaimo and the like, but Tesla

765
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 12: actually manufactures the vehicles that can do all of these things.

766
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 12: And when that gets here, and if you listen to

767
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 12: Elon talk that's in the next year or two, you

768
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 12: know he's in a totally different ballpark and position to

769
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 12: really capitalize on that.

770
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 2: Yeahtt Bratley appreciates you being here. I got to run, sir,

771
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.

772
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 3: Thanks Steve.

773
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: All Right, it's a new day in America, new administration

774
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: and watching a lot of excitement and optimism about the future.

775
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: But the reality is this, there's a lot of work

776
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: to do, especially when it comes to fixing our broken

777
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: healthcare system. The truth is that the forces that are

778
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: responsible for breaking our healthcare system aren't going anywhere. The

779
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: challenges to our system won't disappear over it. Now more

780
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,319

812
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 13: off this morning Steve at eleven am this cabinet meeting

813
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 13: that went just about two and a half hours. It

814
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 13: seemed like this kind of recap each cabinet member kind

815
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 13: of reviewing the first hundred days and what they've done

816
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 13: in their cabinet. Pretty busy event that was. He had

817
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 13: the swearing in ceremony for the Ambassador to the UK

818
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 13: and he's got another event coming up here. Really just

819
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 13: a few minutes recapping basically investment, talking about investments in

820
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 13: this country, and that's what we've seen really the first

821
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 13: hundred days, the surllions of dollars that are poured into

822
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 13: our country due to the fact that we are bringing

823
00:42:59,080 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 13: business back.

824
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

825
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 4: No.

826
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: I saw Scott Bassent get some questions from the White

827
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: House press pool during the Cabinet meeting today saying well,

828
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: where are the deals right? Look, there's seven major deals outstanding.

829
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: They take a few minutes people, you know, just like

830
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: the Democrat young for wire, egg price is not down yet.

831
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: It's been five minutes. Hold on, let us get our

832
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: feet on the grove. We'll get some things done.

833
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 2: I have a lot of optimism here about these deals,

834
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 2: don't you. I do.

835
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 13: And when you look at India, and the first initial

836
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 13: reports from India with Vice President Advance going to the

837
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 13: just last week sometime was very promising. And actually, if

838
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 13: you look at India, they have more people as far

839
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 13: as the population wise in China does, so you could

840
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 13: potentially say they're almost as big a trading partner as China.

841
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 2: And that's a huge deal.

842
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 13: And so and I think that would be the one

843
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 13: that kind of the bigger one that we would land.

844
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 13: That may be that's the table for some of the

845
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 13: smaller deals, but at the end of the day, it's

846
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 13: going to take some time. And when people say, well, Brian,

847
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 13: look at the market, what happened to the market.

848
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, after this all this trade talk.

849
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 13: Well, actually, look what happened when some of the investments

850
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 13: came in, and we're already have regained taking back some

851
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 13: of those grounds that we've lost. So it just takes time.

852
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 13: But you know, Steve, this hyper sensitive media industry that

853
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 13: we work in. If it doesn't happen overnight, people people

854
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 13: give up on it. If the next news cycle goes

855
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 13: there's another story they chase.

856
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 2: And then they go crazy. Brian, I got it right there,

857
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 2: I got a run. Then they go crazy. Yeah, appreciate it.

858
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.

859
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: By the way, just to leave you with this note
