1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. As we speak, we 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: know that the nominations for Trump's cabinet is coming false 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: and furious. Let's get perspective. Kevin McCaughey, from a US 4 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: House speaker, joins me at this time, speakers, thank you 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: for joining us. You know we've had names like Rubio, Walt's, Gates, 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: even I mean, how do you make what do you 7 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: make off the choices so far? 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: I think choices are very good except one. Look, Gates 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 2: won't get confirmed. Everybody knows that. But when you look 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: at a Rubio, just the knowledge that he has being 11 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: in the Intel Committee, I was on the Gang of Eight, 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 2: and his understanding even when you listen to the other 13 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: side of the aisle, they say he'll make a great 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 2: Secretary of State. So that's strong for me. A Waltz 15 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: just his background from a Green Beret and others being 16 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: the but John Radcliffe at CIA, former DNI, that's very strong. 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: And the difference is to what was eight years ago. Today, 18 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: President Trump understands job, he knows the people that he 19 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: needs around him to get there, and I think he's 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: gonna be much better prepared because he only has one term. 21 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: But he'll he'll hit the ground running this time. 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: You say Gates will not be confirmed, Why bother with 23 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: the nomination? 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: Then you can talk to the president. But it's a 25 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: good it's it's a good deflection from others. But it 26 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: also gives I'll let us stand there with that. 27 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: No, I mean, just provide us some thinking into you 28 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: know what Trump had in mind when he made that nomination. 29 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: Is it a case so if you know you win 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: some looseum it is a negotiating tactic or what's is it? 31 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 2: You'd have to ask President. But Gates couldn't win in 32 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 2: a Republican conference, So it doesn't matter when you. 33 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: Take a look at the nomination so far. I mean 34 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: we've seen you know, China hawks for instance. Is that 35 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: an indication of how he will approach the relationship is 36 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: in the US and China. 37 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: Look, I think for those world leaders they have a 38 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: relationship with President Trump, and I think they're probably thankful 39 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 2: that President Trump won. It brings greater stability around the world, 40 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: but it also says a very clear message that America 41 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: won't be pushed around. And also when it comes to 42 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: economic issues like trade and others, this president wants to negotiate. 43 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 2: This president wants to have a fair deal and he 44 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: can work with anybody, be it the leader of North 45 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 2: Korea and stop testing your missiles unless sit down and talk. 46 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 2: He's willing to sit down and talking about that's a 47 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: different approach that I think is much more successful. And 48 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: I think the world will approach that Putin never invaded 49 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: in another country why President Trump was in office, and 50 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: I think that will those things will stop as well. 51 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: So he's open to negotiation. The fact that he's threatening 52 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: sixty percent tariffs and China, that's a negotiation tool. 53 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: No. But the one thing I will say what President 54 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: Trump is saying is why is America's markets wide open 55 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 2: for you? And why don't you have China open for America? 56 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 2: If not, that's not fair. And he's going to stand 57 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: for America first. And I think that's a very smart 58 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: place to be. And it's a new day, it's a 59 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 2: new leader, and I think it will make the world safer, stronger, 60 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: and a fair negotiations and trade for everybody. 61 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: In the world. So, in terms of executive orders, he's 62 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: talking about how the first day was he sweeping executive 63 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: orders from day one? What do we expect to see. 64 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: Well, that's not unusual for any president. But what he's 65 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: going to do is exactly what he campaigned on a promise. 66 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: He's going to secure our border. And he has to 67 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 2: put sweeping executives' orders into secure our border because the 68 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 2: whole reason why the American border got wide open just 69 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: because the executive orders of Joe Biden. So he's got 70 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: to wipe that away. He's going to make to unshackle 71 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: what holds back America's economy. Okay, so that's from regulation. 72 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: How can we make sure we get a better place. 73 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: He's also going to make sure government for all Americans 74 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: is more efficient, more accountable in the process, and that's 75 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: a whole new look that American hasn't had since the 76 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: forties when we've got to transform and do something big, 77 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: and he's bringing the best and brightest minds. I was 78 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: just texting with Elon was texting me this morning. I mean, 79 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: think about having the brain of Elon Musk to sacrifice 80 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: his time away from his businesses to help every single 81 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: American make government more efficient, more accountable, and actually deliver 82 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: the job that we're supposed to do. 83 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: You talk about Elon, you brought the two together Elon 84 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: Mosk and President Trum You have a great understanding of 85 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: how he thinks and what he's able to do. Isn't 86 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: there though a conflict of interest? This is a man 87 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: who's benefited in a huge way in terms of billions 88 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,679 Speaker 1: of government contracts. How is that not a conflict of interest? 89 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: Your question's all wrong. Who's benefited America? America didn't have 90 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: an engine a rocket to go to space. Elon built it. 91 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: America just had a hurricane and they couldn't get the 92 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: Internet if it wasn't for Elon Starlink. When you think 93 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 2: of the environment and Tesla the number one selling car 94 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: in America, Elon doesn't benefit from government. America has benefited 95 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: from Elon and for Elon to sacrifice his time away 96 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: from business because he cares about a country that opened 97 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: up those arms that he immigrated to that we are 98 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: so proud of. I know it doesn't matter where you 99 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: stood in the political spectrum, but when you watched in 100 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: the middle of the campaign that Elon sent a rocket 101 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: to space reusable came back and grabbed it and nobody 102 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: else in the world can do it. And that wasn't government, 103 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: that was SpaceX. So people who benefit is American from Elon. 104 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: It's not the other way around. 105 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: But some can argue that Elon will benefit from easing 106 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: regulation intag in cryptocurrencies. I mean, take a look at 107 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: how deuts coin did when you know his department was 108 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: called Deutsche as a short form. I mean, it went 109 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: not more than seven hundred percent. Surely that is a benefit. 110 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: Surely he stands to gain in terms of policies easing 111 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: policies in things like technology. 112 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: Well, I take it you never met Elon, because you 113 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 2: would never You would have never said that. The thing 114 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 2: about Elon, he's a Thomas Edison. He doesn't care about wealth. 115 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 2: He likes to invent and create the world to be better. 116 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 2: So if you ever spent time with him, you would 117 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: realize that's a whole premise of your question is off. 118 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: He doesn't put where he invests. He doesn't even think 119 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: about that. What he's thinking is how does he make 120 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: the world more sustainable, How does he make the world safer? 121 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: How does he put America in a stronger footing? And 122 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: you know what, the rest of the world helps get 123 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: benefits from that same place. So no, he won't get 124 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: a benefit, but Americans are going to get a benefit, 125 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 2: and I wish others. I mean, this is a president 126 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: that's not afraid to go to the best and brightest. 127 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: You know, in America, we used to have this thing 128 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: called the Peace Corps where people would volunteer to come back. 129 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: We need a peace Corps in executives who shows government 130 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: how to be more efficient, because you know what that 131 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 2: will do. It'll save the taxpayer a lot of money. 132 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 2: He'll make government more efficient and effective for those who 133 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 2: care the most about it that we need to. And 134 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: it will also put America on a stronger footing so 135 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: the next century could be theirs. 136 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: We've talked about how Trump has learned from his first 137 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: time in governments. How would he do it differently this time? 138 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's the whole theory of ten thousand hours. 139 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: He only has four years. He has an unbelievable work ethic. 140 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: He also knows where he got stymied and where he 141 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: got held back. So from this part, he's got a 142 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 2: big agenda. He wants to make sure he gets his 143 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 2: in a short amount of time. So he's going to 144 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: engage from the very beginning and just look what he's 145 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: doing in transitioner days. 146 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: What can be expected the first hundred days, how will 147 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: it look like. 148 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: I think you'll be shocked by the first one hundred days. 149 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: I think you'll kind of be shocked by the first month. 150 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 2: And the difference is this president won by such a 151 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: big majority. Okay, no Republican has won a majority like 152 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: this in thirty four years where he captured the Senate 153 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: and he captured the House, and they would not have 154 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: won the majority without President Trump winning the popular vote 155 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: and electoral college by more than three hundred when two 156 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: seventy is the magic number. That is almost a mandate 157 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 2: from the American people to do the things that he said, 158 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: to curve inflation right, to keep our streets safe again, 159 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: to have a border, but to make sure our military 160 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: is prepared for the future. That's turning the DoD around. 161 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: And he's got the best minds coming in to do that. 162 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: And he doesn't have to sit around to have people 163 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: tell him what to do. He knows the job of 164 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: what needs to happen. He has the relationships around the world. 165 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: I will tell you from the day he won, the 166 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: number of foreign leaders who called me wanting to be 167 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: able to talk to President Trump. President Trump is an 168 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 2: engaging individual and I think you'll see it from every 169 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: walk of life. And the most interesting thing about him 170 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: is he doesn't need much sleep and he works almost 171 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: twenty hours a day. 172 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: You talked about relationships and those relations whereas the rest 173 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: of the world would be front and center, at least 174 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: for the rest of the world. Ukraine an issue that 175 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: he says that he can deal with in twenty four hours. 176 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: I mean, is that even realistic? Is that even conceivable? 177 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: I think it's conceivable he can deal with Ukraine, and 178 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 2: I think it's a twenty four hours twenty four hours. Look, 179 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: if you know where President Trump goes, he likes to 180 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: make a point and he gets people's attention that way. 181 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: But I mean, the one thing that he's going to 182 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: say is that Putin invaded another country. Putin never did 183 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 2: that under the leadership of President Trump. So the world's 184 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: going to become a little safer. I think the President 185 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 2: has supported the time of Ukraine's ability to protect their 186 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 2: own nation as well. He's already reach out and talked 187 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 2: to Zelenski as well. So I think Putin has to 188 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: have a new belief of understanding. He's got to stop 189 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: what he's doing, going around the rest of the world 190 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: doing this and America and the world will be safer 191 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: for it. 192 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: Do you think America on the Trump would be a 193 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: more powerful America and America that you know is able 194 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: to influence the rest of the world. Because we've seen 195 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: how tensions have fled up under the Biden administration. Do 196 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: you see Trump putting a lid on that? And I mean, 197 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: how do you see play out in the next four years. 198 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 2: It's easy to say what will happen. Look at what 199 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 2: happened before, look at what the world looked like when 200 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 2: President Trump was president, and what has happened under President Biden. 201 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: So I mean that's why President Trump won by such 202 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 2: a large margin. America likes his policies, and I think 203 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: if you win around the world, they'd like the policy too. 204 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: I think the Middle East will calm down. I think 205 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: the world will be safer. I think there'll be more 206 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: economic growth for everybody. And I think from that perspective, 207 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: America is very respectful for every other nation. We also 208 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: understand our values and where we go, and we respect 209 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: other countries' ability to do that as well, So the 210 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 2: world becomes safer. He's not afraid to speak to anybody, 211 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 2: and I think communication matters. He's also not afraid to 212 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 2: point out when other countries are doing things that aren't 213 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 2: proper around the rest of the world and have those discussions. 214 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: Unconventional also unpredictable, which is a headache for a lot 215 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: of government leaders. I just want to bring the point 216 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: back to where we are at the poclast for him. 217 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: Lots of investors are keepping an eye on that Treasury post. 218 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: Who might that be? And do you have a preference? 219 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 2: I don't have a preference. Well I might have a 220 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 2: personal preference, but I don't know that that matters in 221 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: this place. But this is something that the president has 222 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 2: really studied a lot. He's got a really good team 223 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 2: going behind it. I think it's probably narrowed down to 224 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 2: two different people, but the president has the right to 225 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: pick whoever he wants for whatever position, and then they 226 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: got to be confirmed. But I will tell you I 227 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 2: think he is better prepared in this administration than he 228 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: was eight years ago. The team behind it, and a 229 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 2: lot of that gets the credit to Howard Ludnik, the 230 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: work he has done and just the history that he 231 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: has from Caunter Fitzgerald, just the personal history that Howard 232 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: has after nine to eleven. The only reason Howard is 233 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: alive today is because it was the first day of 234 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: his son's kindergarten class. But his brother, his best friends, 235 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 2: his entire firm gets wiped out, and he rebuilds it. 236 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: But he rebuilds it by everybody donating back to the 237 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: families that had lost those loved ones. I mean, that's 238 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: an American story. And so there's so many people like 239 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 2: that that are willing to sacrifice their time to make 240 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: sure America is better and stronger, and that the Trump 241 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 2: administration has the best people. 242 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: And we would prefer for you to express your preference, 243 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: no no names. 244 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: I don't want to damage anybody, so I let the 245 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 2: president just pick. It's his choice, all right. 246 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, Kevin mccafey from my US house. 247 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: Speak of that with me.
