1
00:00:11,697 --> 00:00:14,977
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure

2
00:00:14,977 --> 00:00:17,977
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

3
00:00:18,017 --> 00:00:19,937
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts.

4
00:00:20,177 --> 00:00:24,617
Speaker 2: Okay, everybody, let's check in on what's happening in California

5
00:00:24,657 --> 00:00:27,537
Speaker 2: these days. Democrats having a rough time at the national level,

6
00:00:27,537 --> 00:00:31,297
Speaker 2: state of California not seeming to change very much with

7
00:00:31,417 --> 00:00:34,817
Speaker 2: the times when it comes to its politics. Katie Zachariah

8
00:00:34,937 --> 00:00:37,657
Speaker 2: is with a senior advisor to fix California and a

9
00:00:37,737 --> 00:00:42,417
Speaker 2: Republican political strategist. Katie, There's so much that we can

10
00:00:42,497 --> 00:00:45,657
Speaker 2: dive into with California, but let's start with this. Elon

11
00:00:46,097 --> 00:00:51,257
Speaker 2: just retweeted something with this headline, maybe people in Santa

12
00:00:51,257 --> 00:00:56,457
Speaker 2: Monica should consider voting Republican. It is from the Social

13
00:00:56,657 --> 00:01:01,057
Speaker 2: Justice Santa Monica group. They're talking about all kinds of

14
00:01:01,057 --> 00:01:08,337
Speaker 2: stuff in Santa Monica, Reparations task force, cannabis equity. They

15
00:01:08,417 --> 00:01:12,417
Speaker 2: just go into all this left wing craziness. So is

16
00:01:12,457 --> 00:01:14,737
Speaker 2: this just going to continue on no matter what happens

17
00:01:14,777 --> 00:01:15,777
Speaker 2: in the state you live there?

18
00:01:15,817 --> 00:01:19,377
Speaker 1: What's happening, Well, we're actually seeing a pretty big shift

19
00:01:19,377 --> 00:01:23,737
Speaker 1: in California. I think it goes under recognized and people

20
00:01:23,777 --> 00:01:26,857
Speaker 1: want to believe that we're completely out to see. However,

21
00:01:26,937 --> 00:01:31,937
Speaker 1: the fires completely highlighted the fact that we are absolutely

22
00:01:32,097 --> 00:01:35,297
Speaker 1: in a big shift. People see that the leadership is

23
00:01:35,337 --> 00:01:38,577
Speaker 1: not working. So what's happening in Santa Monica? Santa Monica

24
00:01:38,697 --> 00:01:42,497
Speaker 1: is adjacent adjacent to the Palisades fire, So the fact

25
00:01:42,577 --> 00:01:47,057
Speaker 1: that they're even talking about this this kind of ridiculousness

26
00:01:47,097 --> 00:01:50,297
Speaker 1: when people have lost their homes, when people are literally

27
00:01:50,337 --> 00:01:54,137
Speaker 1: literally have nothing left, have nowhere to go, and they're

28
00:01:54,337 --> 00:01:57,337
Speaker 1: they're worried about reparations and they're worried about lgbt Q

29
00:01:58,337 --> 00:02:02,337
Speaker 1: rights within Santa Monica is just more and more and

30
00:02:02,417 --> 00:02:05,857
Speaker 1: more the hypocrisy of the left and not actually serving

31
00:02:05,857 --> 00:02:06,657
Speaker 1: the needs of the people.

32
00:02:06,777 --> 00:02:10,577
Speaker 2: Right, how is that rebuilding? F And I know it's

33
00:02:10,657 --> 00:02:12,937
Speaker 2: very early, it's going to take a long time, but

34
00:02:13,377 --> 00:02:15,417
Speaker 2: we were led to believe meeting people that were just

35
00:02:15,457 --> 00:02:19,577
Speaker 2: paying attention to the news cycle that Gavin Newsom, who

36
00:02:19,617 --> 00:02:22,137
Speaker 2: will talk more about him a second, got a new podcast,

37
00:02:22,657 --> 00:02:27,617
Speaker 2: that Gavin Newsom was going to clear away all the regulations, so,

38
00:02:27,697 --> 00:02:32,057
Speaker 2: for example, people in the Palisades fire aftermath could clear

39
00:02:32,057 --> 00:02:36,697
Speaker 2: away the debris. How is that moving things more efficiently

40
00:02:36,777 --> 00:02:39,137
Speaker 2: actually going well?

41
00:02:39,257 --> 00:02:42,057
Speaker 1: I will say that I was able to be with

42
00:02:42,137 --> 00:02:45,897
Speaker 1: Ambassador Rick Rnell, who the President appointed to oversee the

43
00:02:45,897 --> 00:02:49,017
Speaker 1: fire damage, and an administrator from the EPA, Lee Zelden,

44
00:02:49,097 --> 00:02:52,177
Speaker 1: came out to visit a few weeks ago, and the

45
00:02:52,217 --> 00:02:56,937
Speaker 1: only reason that things started moving forward is because those

46
00:02:57,017 --> 00:03:01,417
Speaker 1: two were out with Mayor Karen Bass asking questions to

47
00:03:01,457 --> 00:03:05,297
Speaker 1: the people, what do you need to start rebuilding?

48
00:03:05,297 --> 00:03:07,297
Speaker 3: What do you need to clear this debris? How can

49
00:03:07,337 --> 00:03:08,177
Speaker 3: we be helpful?

50
00:03:08,857 --> 00:03:11,337
Speaker 1: And Karen Bass there, Oh, well, they've been able to

51
00:03:11,377 --> 00:03:13,177
Speaker 1: get there, they've been able to come back in, and

52
00:03:13,897 --> 00:03:15,337
Speaker 1: the residents are saying, no, we have it.

53
00:03:15,457 --> 00:03:17,697
Speaker 3: There's so much red tape that's not allowing us to

54
00:03:17,697 --> 00:03:18,537
Speaker 3: clear this debris.

55
00:03:18,617 --> 00:03:22,697
Speaker 1: So EPA administrator leez Eldon and then Ambassador Rick Rnell

56
00:03:22,857 --> 00:03:26,297
Speaker 1: pushed forward. And again it's so clear when President Trump came,

57
00:03:26,737 --> 00:03:29,177
Speaker 1: he told Karen Bass exactly how this was going to

58
00:03:29,217 --> 00:03:30,777
Speaker 1: go down and what she needed to do when she

59
00:03:30,857 --> 00:03:34,297
Speaker 1: started doing it. So what we're seeing is without leadership

60
00:03:34,377 --> 00:03:38,217
Speaker 1: from President Trump's team, nothing's getting done, and it's only

61
00:03:38,257 --> 00:03:40,017
Speaker 1: when they are told what they need to do that

62
00:03:40,057 --> 00:03:40,937
Speaker 1: they start doing it.

63
00:03:41,897 --> 00:03:47,097
Speaker 2: So Gavin Newsom has announced a new podcast that is

64
00:03:47,137 --> 00:03:50,777
Speaker 2: out There is this real. Is he actually doing this

65
00:03:50,937 --> 00:03:51,737
Speaker 2: or is this a joe?

66
00:03:53,097 --> 00:03:54,937
Speaker 1: I thought the same thing when I first saw it.

67
00:03:55,017 --> 00:03:58,177
Speaker 1: I was is this from the Babylon Bee or is

68
00:03:58,217 --> 00:04:02,017
Speaker 1: this real? Why? Why is he starting a podcast when

69
00:04:02,257 --> 00:04:05,897
Speaker 1: he is responsible for one of the most devastating fires,

70
00:04:05,977 --> 00:04:09,457
Speaker 1: one of the most devastating losses of any state in history.

71
00:04:09,817 --> 00:04:11,137
Speaker 3: Right, what is he doing?

72
00:04:11,177 --> 00:04:14,617
Speaker 1: He's sitting up in Sacramento starting a podcast talking about

73
00:04:14,657 --> 00:04:20,417
Speaker 1: the price of eggs, engaging MAGA conservatives, being the moderate

74
00:04:20,577 --> 00:04:24,937
Speaker 1: voice for who we need your leadership and we need

75
00:04:24,977 --> 00:04:27,377
Speaker 1: you to actually get stuff done. And enough of this

76
00:04:27,497 --> 00:04:35,177
Speaker 1: self aggrandizing and enough of this constant narcissistic self absorption.

77
00:04:34,817 --> 00:04:35,777
Speaker 3: From Gavin Newsom.

78
00:04:35,817 --> 00:04:40,217
Speaker 1: He has no solutions, and honestly, the podcast is just

79
00:04:40,497 --> 00:04:43,097
Speaker 1: more symbolism of the fact that he doesn't really care

80
00:04:43,417 --> 00:04:47,017
Speaker 1: what is happening with Californians. He's already eyeing twenty twenty

81
00:04:47,057 --> 00:04:49,857
Speaker 1: eight and a potential presidential run, and he's trying to

82
00:04:50,177 --> 00:04:52,977
Speaker 1: make himself look magnanimous and approachable.

83
00:04:53,457 --> 00:04:56,417
Speaker 2: The fight for life is ongoing day in and day out,

84
00:04:56,617 --> 00:05:00,297
Speaker 2: and on the front lines of it Preborn. Preborn has

85
00:05:00,297 --> 00:05:02,857
Speaker 2: a network of clinics across the nation who have a

86
00:05:02,977 --> 00:05:06,857
Speaker 2: very simple but profoundly important mission, which is to save

87
00:05:06,937 --> 00:05:09,737
Speaker 2: the lives of as many tiny babies as they possibly can.

88
00:05:10,177 --> 00:05:12,177
Speaker 2: And they do this by putting their clinics in areas

89
00:05:12,177 --> 00:05:15,017
Speaker 2: of the country where abortion rates are highest and offering

90
00:05:15,097 --> 00:05:19,777
Speaker 2: women an alternative to abortion with love and care and support. Now,

91
00:05:19,777 --> 00:05:22,657
Speaker 2: this process usually starts with an ultrasound, because once mom

92
00:05:23,017 --> 00:05:26,497
Speaker 2: sees that tiny heartbeat, she knows the choice here has

93
00:05:26,577 --> 00:05:30,737
Speaker 2: to be for life. But Preborn needs your help in

94
00:05:30,777 --> 00:05:33,657
Speaker 2: this mission. They get no government funding. All you have

95
00:05:33,737 --> 00:05:35,417
Speaker 2: to do, and what you can do right now to

96
00:05:35,457 --> 00:05:38,377
Speaker 2: help them is go to preborn dot com slash buck

97
00:05:38,817 --> 00:05:43,177
Speaker 2: that's preborn dot com. Slash b u c K considered

98
00:05:43,217 --> 00:05:45,937
Speaker 2: donating twenty eight dollars a month to be a sponsor

99
00:05:45,977 --> 00:05:50,257
Speaker 2: for Preborn's incredibly important network saving lives day in and

100
00:05:50,377 --> 00:05:56,257
Speaker 2: day out. How do you assess Newsome as the standard

101
00:05:56,297 --> 00:06:00,177
Speaker 2: bearer for Democrats in California going forward? Twenty twenty eight

102
00:06:00,217 --> 00:06:02,297
Speaker 2: feels like a long time away. It'll come here very quickly,

103
00:06:02,377 --> 00:06:07,617
Speaker 2: But Gavin Newsom as the person to represent Democrats from

104
00:06:07,617 --> 00:06:11,577
Speaker 2: that state or Kamala Harris, I'm I'm somewhat amazed to

105
00:06:11,577 --> 00:06:14,977
Speaker 2: look at the polling and see that Kamala Harris is

106
00:06:15,057 --> 00:06:19,257
Speaker 2: still the far and away favorite, at least according the

107
00:06:19,257 --> 00:06:22,137
Speaker 2: most recent polling that I've seen, to be the Democrat

108
00:06:22,177 --> 00:06:25,697
Speaker 2: nominee overall, not just to be the person that California

109
00:06:25,697 --> 00:06:30,217
Speaker 2: would choose the Democrat Party nationwide. So who's stronger right now?

110
00:06:30,337 --> 00:06:33,577
Speaker 2: Newsome or Harris?

111
00:06:34,697 --> 00:06:37,457
Speaker 3: Well? Are those polls taken from Ann Seltzer? I mean

112
00:06:37,497 --> 00:06:38,657
Speaker 3: I just want to ask the question.

113
00:06:39,297 --> 00:06:41,097
Speaker 2: Well, no, because she doesn't do polls. She doesn't do

114
00:06:41,177 --> 00:06:42,697
Speaker 2: polls anymore, she retired.

115
00:06:43,377 --> 00:06:47,297
Speaker 1: I know. It's more that they're so ridiculous that how

116
00:06:47,297 --> 00:06:48,297
Speaker 1: can they even be true?

117
00:06:49,057 --> 00:06:50,697
Speaker 3: What is behind Kamala Harris?

118
00:06:50,777 --> 00:06:55,137
Speaker 1: We have a DA of San Francisco, failed attorney general,

119
00:06:55,257 --> 00:07:00,137
Speaker 1: failed vice presidential state senator, did a terrible job for

120
00:07:00,257 --> 00:07:05,257
Speaker 1: US vice presidential candidate borders are failed, did it and failed.

121
00:07:04,897 --> 00:07:08,497
Speaker 3: And got beat very well, beat.

122
00:07:07,977 --> 00:07:10,897
Speaker 1: By President Trump in both the popular vote and electoral

123
00:07:10,937 --> 00:07:14,217
Speaker 1: vote in the presidential election. Where is her political future?

124
00:07:14,257 --> 00:07:16,777
Speaker 1: I don't see her running for anything again. I think

125
00:07:16,817 --> 00:07:19,017
Speaker 1: that she would be best to stay on the sidelines.

126
00:07:19,577 --> 00:07:22,657
Speaker 1: She signed some deal in Hollywood with a talent agency,

127
00:07:23,057 --> 00:07:26,697
Speaker 1: probably going to make money and be relegated to the

128
00:07:26,777 --> 00:07:30,857
Speaker 1: has beens of US politics. Gavin Newsom, on the other hand,

129
00:07:30,897 --> 00:07:34,857
Speaker 1: I think is making a very clear directed pledge and

130
00:07:35,177 --> 00:07:38,217
Speaker 1: were seeing it in California that he wants to run

131
00:07:38,217 --> 00:07:41,377
Speaker 1: for president and it is our job as Californians to

132
00:07:41,497 --> 00:07:45,017
Speaker 1: expose what a terrible leader he is. What has he

133
00:07:45,537 --> 00:07:48,897
Speaker 1: done right? That is the question I wonder, why are

134
00:07:48,897 --> 00:07:52,177
Speaker 1: we not running twenty four to seven? The things Gavin

135
00:07:52,257 --> 00:07:56,137
Speaker 1: Newsom has done wrong in California. It's an endless abyss

136
00:07:56,257 --> 00:07:57,377
Speaker 1: of things he's done wrong.

137
00:07:57,857 --> 00:08:02,497
Speaker 2: Are you seeing any data to support the notion that

138
00:08:02,577 --> 00:08:06,817
Speaker 2: more and more Californians if not turning on turning their

139
00:08:06,817 --> 00:08:10,617
Speaker 2: party affiliation toward either independent or Republican, are they turning

140
00:08:10,697 --> 00:08:13,937
Speaker 2: on Newsom? Because I remember there was a recall and

141
00:08:14,337 --> 00:08:16,497
Speaker 2: he did better in the recall than did I think

142
00:08:16,497 --> 00:08:20,017
Speaker 2: in the initial election, which felt pretty disappointing to those

143
00:08:20,017 --> 00:08:22,697
Speaker 2: of us who are hoping that sanity would reign in California.

144
00:08:22,857 --> 00:08:26,257
Speaker 2: Is or we're returning California at least? Is that? Is

145
00:08:26,257 --> 00:08:29,097
Speaker 2: that starting to happen? Or is it just so entrenched,

146
00:08:29,137 --> 00:08:31,937
Speaker 2: so left wing, that Gavin Newsom is going to be

147
00:08:31,977 --> 00:08:33,097
Speaker 2: the guy no matter what.

148
00:08:34,417 --> 00:08:37,097
Speaker 1: Well, I point you to the fact that Kamala Harris

149
00:08:37,097 --> 00:08:41,257
Speaker 1: won every state without voter ID, right, And so when

150
00:08:41,337 --> 00:08:44,577
Speaker 1: President Trump landed in North Carolina to go see the

151
00:08:44,657 --> 00:08:47,577
Speaker 1: damage Trum the hurricane, the second he got off the plane,

152
00:08:47,617 --> 00:08:50,137
Speaker 1: he said, you know, maybe I should require voter ID

153
00:08:50,737 --> 00:08:54,697
Speaker 1: from California as a quid pro quo essentially for federal

154
00:08:54,777 --> 00:08:58,057
Speaker 1: fire for federal aid for the fires. And what I

155
00:08:58,097 --> 00:09:02,897
Speaker 1: think we're seeing is California is not deep blue. California

156
00:09:03,017 --> 00:09:05,417
Speaker 1: came in third in the nation for votes for President Trump.

157
00:09:05,457 --> 00:09:07,937
Speaker 1: So the data shows that we came in third. Most

158
00:09:07,977 --> 00:09:11,857
Speaker 1: people don't know that it was Florida, Texas in California

159
00:09:12,097 --> 00:09:16,817
Speaker 1: and California gains six percentage points from twenty twenty to

160
00:09:16,897 --> 00:09:20,737
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four for President Trump. We have seen a

161
00:09:20,857 --> 00:09:25,457
Speaker 1: massive shift statewide. And this is Kamala Harris's home state,

162
00:09:25,617 --> 00:09:27,657
Speaker 1: and there was this shift from twenty twenty to twenty

163
00:09:27,697 --> 00:09:32,417
Speaker 1: twenty four without voter ID, without a requirement of paper ballots.

164
00:09:33,017 --> 00:09:35,537
Speaker 3: Every single person in California.

165
00:09:34,977 --> 00:09:39,097
Speaker 1: Is mailed a ballot or twenty and there's no regulations

166
00:09:39,097 --> 00:09:40,097
Speaker 1: on ballot harvesting.

167
00:09:40,257 --> 00:09:43,537
Speaker 3: So if we could get at least control.

168
00:09:43,177 --> 00:09:46,497
Speaker 1: Of the federal elections where the presidential or congressional are

169
00:09:46,537 --> 00:09:49,817
Speaker 1: required same day voting and voter ID. We would see

170
00:09:49,857 --> 00:09:52,137
Speaker 1: that the rest of this that the state is turning red,

171
00:09:52,177 --> 00:09:53,537
Speaker 1: if it's not already deep red.

172
00:09:53,657 --> 00:09:55,617
Speaker 3: In my opinion, Let's.

173
00:09:55,417 --> 00:09:58,777
Speaker 2: Talk about what's going on with Elon Musk and doge

174
00:09:58,817 --> 00:10:02,817
Speaker 2: out out in the Capitol. These federal workers, I don't

175
00:10:02,777 --> 00:10:04,177
Speaker 2: know if you've seen some of them have taken to

176
00:10:04,337 --> 00:10:07,377
Speaker 2: TikTok and Instagram to show how upset they are. Once

177
00:10:07,417 --> 00:10:09,897
Speaker 2: said that it feels like she's in North Korea because

178
00:10:09,937 --> 00:10:13,137
Speaker 2: she he has to tell people that she did something

179
00:10:13,217 --> 00:10:15,497
Speaker 2: last week, or she has to respond to an email

180
00:10:17,017 --> 00:10:19,457
Speaker 2: to me. The work of dough so far off nothing

181
00:10:19,497 --> 00:10:22,497
Speaker 2: else is at least showing that a lot of federal

182
00:10:22,537 --> 00:10:25,257
Speaker 2: governm employees don't believe they work for the executive branch.

183
00:10:25,297 --> 00:10:28,817
Speaker 2: They think they're their own branch of government. Where do

184
00:10:28,857 --> 00:10:30,937
Speaker 2: you think this goes? I mean, are the firings going

185
00:10:30,977 --> 00:10:33,737
Speaker 2: to start mounting up more and more? Are they going

186
00:10:33,817 --> 00:10:35,177
Speaker 2: to be able to stop him in the courts? How

187
00:10:35,177 --> 00:10:36,097
Speaker 2: do you see it playing out?

188
00:10:37,377 --> 00:10:37,977
Speaker 3: Well, By and.

189
00:10:37,977 --> 00:10:40,377
Speaker 1: Large, I think they've gotten away with not having to

190
00:10:40,417 --> 00:10:43,577
Speaker 1: work for the executive and Elon and President Trump talk

191
00:10:43,617 --> 00:10:48,897
Speaker 1: about this bureaucracy has been created and is enabling this

192
00:10:48,977 --> 00:10:51,217
Speaker 1: group of people to not be accountable to anyone, right,

193
00:10:51,217 --> 00:10:54,497
Speaker 1: they're accountable to the bureaucracy that has been created. And

194
00:10:54,537 --> 00:10:56,897
Speaker 1: so I think what President Trump and Elon are doing

195
00:10:56,937 --> 00:11:01,377
Speaker 1: is they're exposing the bureaucracy. They're exposing that the bureaucracy

196
00:11:01,417 --> 00:11:04,897
Speaker 1: is not accountable, and they're now holding them all accountable.

197
00:11:05,217 --> 00:11:07,857
Speaker 1: So yes, I think that they're going to hold true

198
00:11:08,177 --> 00:11:11,737
Speaker 1: to their promises. They fire people for not responding to

199
00:11:11,777 --> 00:11:14,417
Speaker 1: these emails, and they should be fired. And I think

200
00:11:14,457 --> 00:11:18,777
Speaker 1: there have to be very swift consequences for not showing

201
00:11:18,817 --> 00:11:21,457
Speaker 1: up to work, for not delivering on what's requested of

202
00:11:21,537 --> 00:11:23,817
Speaker 1: you unless you have a clear directive from I know

203
00:11:23,937 --> 00:11:27,457
Speaker 1: Director Patel said, hey, we're going to take an assessment.

204
00:11:27,577 --> 00:11:29,057
Speaker 3: Don't respond yet to this.

205
00:11:29,497 --> 00:11:32,177
Speaker 1: But there had to be some agreement made in advance

206
00:11:32,257 --> 00:11:34,577
Speaker 1: that you know, he was literally coming in that week

207
00:11:34,937 --> 00:11:37,137
Speaker 1: and he had to assess what's going on with the staff.

208
00:11:37,177 --> 00:11:40,697
Speaker 1: But otherwise, outside of that type of scenario, every single

209
00:11:40,697 --> 00:11:44,177
Speaker 1: employee that's requestive should absolutely be responding.

210
00:11:44,897 --> 00:11:47,217
Speaker 2: I think it's been really illuminating as well for people

211
00:11:47,257 --> 00:11:50,617
Speaker 2: to see that a lot of the individuals working at

212
00:11:50,737 --> 00:11:54,657
Speaker 2: USAID who have been affected so far By this feel

213
00:11:54,697 --> 00:11:58,417
Speaker 2: like there should be no justification necessary for the money

214
00:11:58,417 --> 00:12:02,417
Speaker 2: that they are spending because there are other buddies in USAID. Right,

215
00:12:02,457 --> 00:12:06,257
Speaker 2: they get they get funded by by Congress, and they

216
00:12:06,257 --> 00:12:08,297
Speaker 2: get all this money, billions of dollars, and then they

217
00:12:08,297 --> 00:12:09,777
Speaker 2: just get to determine what to do with it. The

218
00:12:10,057 --> 00:12:13,697
Speaker 2: American people saying hey, hold on, why are you doing

219
00:12:13,737 --> 00:12:17,657
Speaker 2: that with this money? Is they think of it almost

220
00:12:17,657 --> 00:12:20,017
Speaker 2: as as rude, I think, or they think this is tyranny.

221
00:12:20,817 --> 00:12:23,177
Speaker 2: It would seem to me that this kind of transparency

222
00:12:23,737 --> 00:12:26,937
Speaker 2: is the bare minimum that the American taxpayer should have.

223
00:12:28,217 --> 00:12:31,537
Speaker 1: It's it's the bare minimum, and the light needs to

224
00:12:31,537 --> 00:12:34,817
Speaker 1: be shed on what's happening. And actually the tyranny is

225
00:12:34,817 --> 00:12:38,377
Speaker 1: not the exposure. It's the keeping this secret that our

226
00:12:38,417 --> 00:12:41,497
Speaker 1: tax dollars are being wasted, that they're being you know,

227
00:12:41,617 --> 00:12:45,457
Speaker 1: flown over seas to endless causes that don't benefit us

228
00:12:45,817 --> 00:12:49,097
Speaker 1: and likely probably launderd once they once they really follow

229
00:12:49,137 --> 00:12:53,137
Speaker 1: that money, they're not really spending fifty million dollars on X,

230
00:12:53,257 --> 00:12:54,857
Speaker 1: y Z, these these different causes.

231
00:12:55,097 --> 00:12:56,737
Speaker 3: I think it was a circumcision in.

232
00:12:56,697 --> 00:13:00,697
Speaker 1: Mozambique, right, you go follow the money and see who

233
00:13:00,777 --> 00:13:03,137
Speaker 1: is actually taking that money, and what are they using

234
00:13:03,177 --> 00:13:05,497
Speaker 1: it for, and who's getting paid outside of that and

235
00:13:05,537 --> 00:13:08,977
Speaker 1: how much what percentage is actually going to the stated cause.

236
00:13:09,417 --> 00:13:12,697
Speaker 1: But more more, for the President Trump, what he is

237
00:13:12,737 --> 00:13:15,937
Speaker 1: continuing to do is say the American taxpayer is not

238
00:13:15,977 --> 00:13:16,617
Speaker 1: going to bear.

239
00:13:16,457 --> 00:13:18,977
Speaker 3: The burden of the world's problems any longer.

240
00:13:19,017 --> 00:13:21,737
Speaker 1: He is delivering on the promise that he will put

241
00:13:21,777 --> 00:13:27,057
Speaker 1: the American citizen first, not just with this USAID, but

242
00:13:27,217 --> 00:13:31,657
Speaker 1: in the deportations and making our cities safer and really

243
00:13:31,817 --> 00:13:33,737
Speaker 1: making our entire country safer by.

244
00:13:33,577 --> 00:13:34,497
Speaker 3: Securing the border.

245
00:13:34,657 --> 00:13:39,057
Speaker 1: So he's all across all fronts delivering on this and

246
00:13:39,137 --> 00:13:41,617
Speaker 1: on transparency. He's not hiding what he's doing with the

247
00:13:41,657 --> 00:13:43,297
Speaker 1: border and the deportations either.

248
00:13:44,017 --> 00:13:48,097
Speaker 2: The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews standing with Israel

249
00:13:48,217 --> 00:13:51,777
Speaker 2: in this incredibly difficult time. Israel has been through war,

250
00:13:51,857 --> 00:13:54,897
Speaker 2: as you know, and is still dealing with the constant

251
00:13:54,937 --> 00:13:58,377
Speaker 2: menace of Hamas on its borders, along with other terrorist

252
00:13:58,457 --> 00:14:01,497
Speaker 2: groups who seek to destroy the Jewish state. But there

253
00:14:01,537 --> 00:14:04,377
Speaker 2: are people around the world, including you, who have taken

254
00:14:04,457 --> 00:14:08,017
Speaker 2: action to show their support for Israel, and in this

255
00:14:08,177 --> 00:14:12,977
Speaker 2: time it is greatly appreciated. Providing food, providing medical necessities,

256
00:14:13,297 --> 00:14:15,297
Speaker 2: all kinds of things that can be given of a

257
00:14:15,377 --> 00:14:19,937
Speaker 2: humanitarian nature to help the people of Israel right now,

258
00:14:20,097 --> 00:14:26,177
Speaker 2: good to IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ dot org. Or

259
00:14:26,297 --> 00:14:30,617
Speaker 2: call eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ that's eight

260
00:14:30,657 --> 00:14:35,697
Speaker 2: eight eight for eight eight IFCJ on X. By the way,

261
00:14:35,737 --> 00:14:39,817
Speaker 2: you're bio, it says former Beijing xpat. How was that?

262
00:14:41,177 --> 00:14:41,617
Speaker 3: Yeah?

263
00:14:41,777 --> 00:14:46,057
Speaker 1: I graduated from Pepperdine School of Law, and I moved

264
00:14:46,097 --> 00:14:49,897
Speaker 1: over to China to Beijing, and I worked in a

265
00:14:50,017 --> 00:14:53,977
Speaker 1: law firm called Junglun Law Firm, and I was the

266
00:14:53,977 --> 00:14:56,377
Speaker 1: outside council to the IFC in the World Bank.

267
00:14:56,417 --> 00:15:00,017
Speaker 3: It was an interesting and exciting experience.

268
00:15:00,057 --> 00:15:01,897
Speaker 2: I will say, how many years are you over there?

269
00:15:02,937 --> 00:15:06,657
Speaker 1: I was over there for about three years, traveled extensively

270
00:15:06,817 --> 00:15:12,417
Speaker 1: through China, Southern China, Western China to Benton Plateau. It

271
00:15:12,537 --> 00:15:14,897
Speaker 1: was it was actually one of the most exciting and

272
00:15:15,497 --> 00:15:19,937
Speaker 1: invigorating things to see pre COVID. I can't imagine how

273
00:15:20,017 --> 00:15:23,057
Speaker 1: much has changed since then now and now under Egen Ping.

274
00:15:23,137 --> 00:15:26,337
Speaker 1: I was there between Ujin Tao and Xi Jinping, so

275
00:15:26,377 --> 00:15:29,777
Speaker 1: I really saw a massive shift between the two leaders

276
00:15:30,617 --> 00:15:34,017
Speaker 1: and really what the availability and excitement of Westerners being

277
00:15:34,017 --> 00:15:36,777
Speaker 1: there towards kind of a much more closed approach under

278
00:15:37,017 --> 00:15:37,417
Speaker 1: Jen Ping.

279
00:15:37,777 --> 00:15:38,617
Speaker 2: How's your Mandarin?

280
00:15:39,617 --> 00:15:41,457
Speaker 3: My Mandarin is okay.

281
00:15:41,817 --> 00:15:45,257
Speaker 1: I wouldn't sit here and try to have a long conversation.

282
00:15:45,377 --> 00:15:48,057
Speaker 1: It's gotten worse and worse as time goes on, but

283
00:15:48,257 --> 00:15:51,017
Speaker 1: I can understand a good amount. And what's fun is

284
00:15:51,057 --> 00:15:54,457
Speaker 1: when I'm with a group of Chinese people or in

285
00:15:54,497 --> 00:15:57,257
Speaker 1: a grocery store, they're speaking in you know, this blonde

286
00:15:57,257 --> 00:16:00,297
Speaker 1: pops in and says something, and oh, they're so excited

287
00:16:00,337 --> 00:16:03,257
Speaker 1: that someone knows how to speak at least a little bit.

288
00:16:04,057 --> 00:16:08,377
Speaker 2: Very cool. Well, Katie Zachariyah, Senior advisor to Fix, California

289
00:16:08,417 --> 00:16:11,697
Speaker 2: Republican political strategist, thanks for coming on to talk and

290
00:16:11,897 --> 00:16:12,857
Speaker 2: we'll speak to you again soon.

291
00:16:13,577 --> 00:16:14,377
Speaker 3: Thank you,
