WEBVTT - Former US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Talks Trump's Appointments

0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. As we speak, we

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>know that the nominations for Trump's cabinet is coming false

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and furious. Let's get perspective. Kevin McCaughey, from a US

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>House speaker, joins me at this time, speakers, thank you

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>for joining us. You know we've had names like Rubio, Walt's, Gates,

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>even I mean, how do you make what do you

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>make off the choices so far?

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I think choices are very good except one. Look, Gates

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 2>won't get confirmed. Everybody knows that. But when you look

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 2>at a Rubio, just the knowledge that he has being

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:39.920
<v Speaker 2>in the Intel Committee, I was on the Gang of Eight,

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.199
<v Speaker 2>and his understanding even when you listen to the other

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 2>side of the aisle, they say he'll make a great

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Secretary of State. So that's strong for me. A Waltz

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 2>just his background from a Green Beret and others being

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>the but John Radcliffe at CIA, former DNI, that's very strong.

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>And the difference is to what was eight years ago. Today,

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 2>President Trump understands job, he knows the people that he

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 2>needs around him to get there, and I think he's

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna be much better prepared because he only has one term.

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 2>But he'll he'll hit the ground running this time.

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>You say Gates will not be confirmed, Why bother with

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the nomination?

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Then you can talk to the president. But it's a

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 2>good it's it's a good deflection from others. But it

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 2>also gives I'll let us stand there with that.

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean, just provide us some thinking into you

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>know what Trump had in mind when he made that nomination.

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Is it a case so if you know you win

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>some looseum it is a negotiating tactic or what's is it?

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 2>You'd have to ask President. But Gates couldn't win in

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 2>a Republican conference, So it doesn't matter when you.

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>Take a look at the nomination so far. I mean

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>we've seen you know, China hawks for instance. Is that

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>an indication of how he will approach the relationship is

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>in the US and China.

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Look, I think for those world leaders they have a

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>relationship with President Trump, and I think they're probably thankful

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.559
<v Speaker 2>that President Trump won. It brings greater stability around the world,

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 2>but it also says a very clear message that America

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 2>won't be pushed around. And also when it comes to

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 2>economic issues like trade and others, this president wants to negotiate.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.079
<v Speaker 2>This president wants to have a fair deal and he

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 2>can work with anybody, be it the leader of North

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Korea and stop testing your missiles unless sit down and talk.

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 2>He's willing to sit down and talking about that's a

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.919
<v Speaker 2>different approach that I think is much more successful. And

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I think the world will approach that Putin never invaded

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 2>in another country why President Trump was in office, and

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>I think that will those things will stop as well.

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>So he's open to negotiation. The fact that he's threatening

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>sixty percent tariffs and China, that's a negotiation tool.

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 2>No. But the one thing I will say what President

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Trump is saying is why is America's markets wide open

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>for you? And why don't you have China open for America?

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.919
<v Speaker 2>If not, that's not fair. And he's going to stand

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 2>for America first. And I think that's a very smart

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 2>place to be. And it's a new day, it's a

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 2>new leader, and I think it will make the world safer, stronger,

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 2>and a fair negotiations and trade for everybody.

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>In the world. So, in terms of executive orders, he's

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>talking about how the first day was he sweeping executive

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>orders from day one? What do we expect to see.

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's not unusual for any president. But what he's

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>going to do is exactly what he campaigned on a promise.

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>He's going to secure our border. And he has to

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>put sweeping executives' orders into secure our border because the

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.239
<v Speaker 2>whole reason why the American border got wide open just

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>because the executive orders of Joe Biden. So he's got

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 2>to wipe that away. He's going to make to unshackle

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 2>what holds back America's economy. Okay, so that's from regulation.

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 2>How can we make sure we get a better place.

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>He's also going to make sure government for all Americans

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 2>is more efficient, more accountable in the process, and that's

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>a whole new look that American hasn't had since the

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 2>forties when we've got to transform and do something big,

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>and he's bringing the best and brightest minds. I was

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>just texting with Elon was texting me this morning. I mean,

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>think about having the brain of Elon Musk to sacrifice

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 2>his time away from his businesses to help every single

0:03:55.720 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 2>American make government more efficient, more accountable, and actually deliver

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 2>the job that we're supposed to do.

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>You talk about Elon, you brought the two together Elon

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Mosk and President Trum You have a great understanding of

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>how he thinks and what he's able to do. Isn't

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>there though a conflict of interest? This is a man

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 1>who's benefited in a huge way in terms of billions

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.679
<v Speaker 1>of government contracts. How is that not a conflict of interest?

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Your question's all wrong. Who's benefited America? America didn't have

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>an engine a rocket to go to space. Elon built it.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 2>America just had a hurricane and they couldn't get the

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Internet if it wasn't for Elon Starlink. When you think

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 2>of the environment and Tesla the number one selling car

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 2>in America, Elon doesn't benefit from government. America has benefited

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>from Elon and for Elon to sacrifice his time away

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>from business because he cares about a country that opened

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 2>up those arms that he immigrated to that we are

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>so proud of. I know it doesn't matter where you

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>stood in the political spectrum, but when you watched in

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the campaign that Elon sent a rocket

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>to space reusable came back and grabbed it and nobody

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 2>else in the world can do it. And that wasn't government,

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 2>that was SpaceX. So people who benefit is American from Elon.

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 2>It's not the other way around.

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>But some can argue that Elon will benefit from easing

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 1>regulation intag in cryptocurrencies. I mean, take a look at

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>how deuts coin did when you know his department was

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>called Deutsche as a short form. I mean, it went

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>not more than seven hundred percent. Surely that is a benefit.

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Surely he stands to gain in terms of policies easing

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>policies in things like technology.

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, I take it you never met Elon, because you

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.600
<v Speaker 2>would never You would have never said that. The thing

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:44.039
<v Speaker 2>about Elon, he's a Thomas Edison. He doesn't care about wealth.

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 2>He likes to invent and create the world to be better.

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.039
<v Speaker 2>So if you ever spent time with him, you would

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 2>realize that's a whole premise of your question is off.

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't put where he invests. He doesn't even think

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 2>about that. What he's thinking is how does he make

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>the world more sustainable, How does he make the world safer?

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 2>How does he put America in a stronger footing? And

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 2>you know what, the rest of the world helps get

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>benefits from that same place. So no, he won't get

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 2>a benefit, but Americans are going to get a benefit,

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 2>and I wish others. I mean, this is a president

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 2>that's not afraid to go to the best and brightest.

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, in America, we used to have this thing

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>called the Peace Corps where people would volunteer to come back.

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 2>We need a peace Corps in executives who shows government

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>how to be more efficient, because you know what that

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 2>will do. It'll save the taxpayer a lot of money.

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.159
<v Speaker 2>He'll make government more efficient and effective for those who

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 2>care the most about it that we need to. And

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>it will also put America on a stronger footing so

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 2>the next century could be theirs.

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about how Trump has learned from his first

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.599
<v Speaker 1>time in governments. How would he do it differently this time?

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think it's the whole theory of ten thousand hours.

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 2>He only has four years. He has an unbelievable work ethic.

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 2>He also knows where he got stymied and where he

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 2>got held back. So from this part, he's got a

0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.839
<v Speaker 2>big agenda. He wants to make sure he gets his

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>in a short amount of time. So he's going to

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 2>engage from the very beginning and just look what he's

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 2>doing in transitioner days.

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 1>What can be expected the first hundred days, how will

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>it look like.

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I think you'll be shocked by the first one hundred days.

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I think you'll kind of be shocked by the first month.

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>And the difference is this president won by such a

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 2>big majority. Okay, no Republican has won a majority like

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>this in thirty four years where he captured the Senate

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>and he captured the House, and they would not have

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 2>won the majority without President Trump winning the popular vote

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 2>and electoral college by more than three hundred when two

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the magic number. That is almost a mandate

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>from the American people to do the things that he said,

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 2>to curve inflation right, to keep our streets safe again,

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 2>to have a border, but to make sure our military

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 2>is prepared for the future. That's turning the DoD around.

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 2>And he's got the best minds coming in to do that.

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 2>And he doesn't have to sit around to have people

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 2>tell him what to do. He knows the job of

0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 2>what needs to happen. He has the relationships around the world.

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you from the day he won, the

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 2>number of foreign leaders who called me wanting to be

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 2>able to talk to President Trump. President Trump is an

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 2>engaging individual and I think you'll see it from every

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 2>walk of life. And the most interesting thing about him

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 2>is he doesn't need much sleep and he works almost

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty hours a day.

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>You talked about relationships and those relations whereas the rest

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 1>of the world would be front and center, at least

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of the world. Ukraine an issue that

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>he says that he can deal with in twenty four hours.

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is that even realistic? Is that even conceivable?

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I think it's conceivable he can deal with Ukraine, and

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.199
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a twenty four hours twenty four hours. Look,

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 2>if you know where President Trump goes, he likes to

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 2>make a point and he gets people's attention that way.

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, the one thing that he's going to

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 2>say is that Putin invaded another country. Putin never did

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 2>that under the leadership of President Trump. So the world's

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 2>going to become a little safer. I think the President

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>has supported the time of Ukraine's ability to protect their

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.600
<v Speaker 2>own nation as well. He's already reach out and talked

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 2>to Zelenski as well. So I think Putin has to

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 2>have a new belief of understanding. He's got to stop

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 2>what he's doing, going around the rest of the world

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 2>doing this and America and the world will be safer

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 2>for it.

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you think America on the Trump would be a

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>more powerful America and America that you know is able

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to influence the rest of the world. Because we've seen

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>how tensions have fled up under the Biden administration. Do

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>you see Trump putting a lid on that? And I mean,

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>how do you see play out in the next four years.

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 2>It's easy to say what will happen. Look at what

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.199
<v Speaker 2>happened before, look at what the world looked like when

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 2>President Trump was president, and what has happened under President Biden.

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 2>So I mean that's why President Trump won by such

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.679
<v Speaker 2>a large margin. America likes his policies, and I think

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 2>if you win around the world, they'd like the policy too.

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I think the Middle East will calm down. I think

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the world will be safer. I think there'll be more

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 2>economic growth for everybody. And I think from that perspective,

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>America is very respectful for every other nation. We also

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 2>understand our values and where we go, and we respect

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 2>other countries' ability to do that as well, So the

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 2>world becomes safer. He's not afraid to speak to anybody,

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:12.679
<v Speaker 2>and I think communication matters. He's also not afraid to

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.199
<v Speaker 2>point out when other countries are doing things that aren't

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 2>proper around the rest of the world and have those discussions.

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Unconventional also unpredictable, which is a headache for a lot

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>of government leaders. I just want to bring the point

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 1>back to where we are at the poclast for him.

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Lots of investors are keepping an eye on that Treasury post.

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Who might that be? And do you have a preference?

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a preference. Well I might have a

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 2>personal preference, but I don't know that that matters in

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 2>this place. But this is something that the president has

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.679
<v Speaker 2>really studied a lot. He's got a really good team

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 2>going behind it. I think it's probably narrowed down to

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 2>two different people, but the president has the right to

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 2>pick whoever he wants for whatever position, and then they

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 2>got to be confirmed. But I will tell you I

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.839
<v Speaker 2>think he is better prepared in this administration than he

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 2>was eight years ago. The team behind it, and a

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of that gets the credit to Howard Ludnik, the

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 2>work he has done and just the history that he

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 2>has from Caunter Fitzgerald, just the personal history that Howard

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 2>has after nine to eleven. The only reason Howard is

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 2>alive today is because it was the first day of

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 2>his son's kindergarten class. But his brother, his best friends,

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 2>his entire firm gets wiped out, and he rebuilds it.

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 2>But he rebuilds it by everybody donating back to the

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 2>families that had lost those loved ones. I mean, that's

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.480
<v Speaker 2>an American story. And so there's so many people like

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 2>that that are willing to sacrifice their time to make

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 2>sure America is better and stronger, and that the Trump

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 2>administration has the best people.

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>And we would prefer for you to express your preference,

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 1>no no names.

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to damage anybody, so I let the

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:44.679
<v Speaker 2>president just pick. It's his choice, all right.

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for joining us, Kevin mccafey from my US house.

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Speak of that with me.
