1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: We have got a lot to talk about on today's show, 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: including Donald Trump really paying off on the promises he 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: made to secure the southern border, with a litany of 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: actions being taken to make sure that the southern border 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: is secure and shut down. I'm gonna explain that to 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: you coming up in a moment. We also have what 7 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: I'm describing as Black Tuesday, the day where Donald Trump 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: said to a lot of government bureaucrats, you're fired, including 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: the heads of the TSA, the Coastguard as well. What's 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,959 Speaker 1: behind it? That story for you as well coming up. 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: And finally, Donald Trump has decided to save you a 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: lot of money, signing an executive order suspending US foreign 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: eight assistants for ninety days. Now, with all that, let's 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: get back to what I mentioned at the very beginning. 15 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is paying off on his promise to secure 16 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: the southern border. On January the twenty first, President Donald 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: Trump signed several executive orders aimed at strengthening border security. Now, 18 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: these were all because of promises that he made on 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: the campaign trail. Well, he is now keeping those promises 20 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: and turning them into a reality for each and every American. 21 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: So what has happened so far. I want you to 22 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: know the list so you understand because many in the 23 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: media are not wanting to talk about this at all. 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: The National Emergency Declaration has been signed by Donald Trump. 25 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: What does that mean. It declares a national emergency at 26 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: the US Mexico border that enables the deployment of federal 27 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: troops to assist in border enforcement. This is a very 28 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: important tool that the President is using right now to 29 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: shut down the southern border. He also made good on 30 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: another promise, the Remain in Mexico policy, reinstating the policy 31 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: that would require asylum seekers legal immigrants to wait in 32 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: Mexico during US immigration proceedings. That is a one to 33 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: eighty from what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did, which 34 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: would allow for each and every illegal immigrant that comes 35 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: across the southern border, even if they're turning themselves in 36 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: to those at the border they're supposed to be protecting it, 37 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: saying oh yeah, go free in America. Well, that policy 38 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: is no more. The Remain of Mexico policy is now 39 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: back into effect and being enforced at this hour. Now. 40 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: You may remember that Donald Trump became president back in 41 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Many believe because of one major issue, one 42 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: major thing that kind of catapulted his campaign. It was 43 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: when he said We're gonna build a wall, a big, 44 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: beautiful wall, and he said at the time that Mexico 45 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: was gonna pay for it. Now, you can argue and 46 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: debate over that, but what we know now is that 47 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: the border wall construction will be resuming and will be finished. 48 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: That's right. Through an executive order, Donald Trump demanded the 49 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: resumption and the completion of the border wall along the 50 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: southern border as soon as humanly possible. Now, there's also 51 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: a big fight that is about to happen, and it 52 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: deals with birthright citizenship. And I want you to understand 53 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: the argument here. Yes, there is the fourteenth Amendment. Yes, 54 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: the fourteenth Amendment states very clearly that if you are 55 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: born in the United States of America, you are an 56 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: American citizen. The President wants to have a debate on 57 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: that issue. So that is why he has decided, and 58 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: he knows a legal challenge is coming that we are 59 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: going to have, as he described with the termination of 60 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: birthright citizenship, specifically if you are born in the US 61 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: to illegal immigrant parents. Now, this move is going to 62 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: face legal challenges. They know this at the White House. 63 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: I don't actually believe they expect they're going to win this. 64 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: But what they're trying to do is open a national 65 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: conversation about this loophole where many illegal immigrants, days before 66 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: they're about to give birth rush the southern border, have 67 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: a child in the US and they are an American citizen. 68 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: But what it also does it allows then for the 69 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: illegal immigrant parents to have a sponsor, a family member 70 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: who is an American citizenship to get them into the 71 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: US and to get them citizenship. This is a loophole 72 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump wants to have some sort of fix on, 73 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: and now he's going to get that Grand debate. There's 74 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,799 Speaker 1: also something else the Democrats use, and it was an app. 75 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: It was the most powerful app, many believe, in the 76 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: world because it gave access to the United States of 77 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: America for millions and millions of illegal immigrants. You may 78 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: have heard of this app before. It was the CBP 79 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: one app. Donald Trump has now moved to disable the 80 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: CBP one app, which allows migrants to schedule quote legal 81 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: entry appointments, resulting in cancelations now for hundreds of thousands 82 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: of applicants. Donald Trump saying we're not playing that game 83 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: any longer. And then, in the biggest move so far 84 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: in my opinion, is this, Donald Trump moved to designate 85 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: the Cartels as terrorists organizations. Not only has he classified 86 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: the Cartells as terrorist organizations, but he's also lumped into 87 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: this gang such as MS thirteen, as foreign terrorist organizations 88 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: as well. Now, what does this do well, it allows 89 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: for much more aggressive actions against these groups, including using 90 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: the US military. The question everybody has been asking now 91 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: is would we actually see the US military go into 92 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: what many are describing as a failed state, into Mexico 93 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: where the Cartels and MS thirteen gang members run the government, 94 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: and going after them and taking them out. It's too 95 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: soon to tell exactly what the President's going to do 96 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: and declare that they are terrorist organizations what that would 97 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: mean for moving against the Cartels outside of the United 98 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: States of America. What is obvious is the President right 99 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 1: now is looking for every tool at his disposal to 100 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: do whatever he can to protect and defend our borders 101 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: and American citizens. Now. The ICE director is also out 102 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: on TV talking a lot about what their plans are, 103 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: including deportation operations that have already begun in the US. 104 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: Tom Homan was on Fox News Channel and here's what 105 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: he said. 106 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: President Trump signing a stack of executive orders yesterday, making 107 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 2: good in a major campaign promise tackling illegal immigration. Let's 108 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 2: bringing the new borders are to the president. Tom Humman 109 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: also the former acting ICE director. So, Tom, we were expecting, 110 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: based on your initial schedule, that today roundups of criminal 111 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 2: illegal aliens in the process of deporting them would begin. 112 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: It seems to have been put on hold for a 113 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: little while. When can we expect that to happen? Where 114 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 2: will it begin? 115 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: No? 116 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 4: I started, I started. Teams are out there as of today. 117 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 4: We gave them in direction to prioritize public safety threats 118 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 4: that we're looking for that we've been working on the 119 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 4: target list. There was some discussion about Chicago because the 120 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 4: Pacific Operational Plan was released, so we had to look 121 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 4: at and reevaluate does this raise after safety concerns? And 122 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 4: it does. But we've address that and teams are all 123 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 4: the effective today. 124 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: So critics were saying, Okay, you're going to route up 125 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: people's at Buila, their grandmother and ship them back to 126 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: where they emigrated from. Who are the people that you're targeting. 127 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 4: At least in this initial phase right, are the gays 128 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 4: public safety threats those who are in a country legal 129 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 4: that's been convict to arrested for a serious crime. But 130 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 4: let me be clear, it's not any public safety threats 131 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 4: that will be arrested because of sanctuary cities. We're not 132 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 4: allowed to get that public safety threat into jail, which 133 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 4: means we got to go to the neighborhood and find him, 134 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 4: and when we find him, he may be with others. 135 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 4: And unlike the last administration, we're not going to tall 136 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 4: officers not to arrest in the illegalanding. So if they 137 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 4: find others, they'll be arrested. So Sanctuary city is going 138 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 4: to get exactly what they don't want, more agents in 139 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 4: the neighborhood and more claud arrests. 140 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: President Trump's oe number of executive orders, as we pointed 141 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: out on illegal immigration. Here's what he signed. He signed. 142 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: He declared a national border emergency, ended birthright citizenship, ended 143 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: catch and release, reinstated remain in Mexico, designated cartels as 144 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: foreign terrorist organizations, deployed active troops to the southern border, 145 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: and end the use of the CBP one app, which 146 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 2: many people were using to schedule interviews to claim asylum. 147 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 2: Here in the United States. So I want to take 148 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: a couple of those. But let's first of all go 149 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: with this idea of ending birthright citizenship. It's enshrined in 150 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: the fourteenth Amendment. How with an executive order can the 151 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 2: president change that? 152 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, President Trum's a game changer. One 153 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 4: of the executive orders we worked on, and these are 154 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 4: game change. This is going to give us some more 155 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 4: secure border in my lifetime. So great for him to 156 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: do that. Birthright citizenship is a major driver of bill. Look, AGray, 157 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 4: I know from you. I've done this over three decades. 158 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 4: When the first thing is they and doesn't they get 159 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 4: here is get birth to you as citizen childcause I think 160 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 4: that makes hi immune from our laws. Right, So even 161 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 4: if he goes to immigration court, loses his case, even 162 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 4: though he's in the country league he's convicted of a 163 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 4: crime and get to order removal. They think that the 164 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 4: fact have you assistant child make immune. We can't send 165 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 4: that message to the whole world that you can enter 166 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 4: our country legalis's crime. You commit another crime, and you 167 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 4: can even get removed by an immigration judge after expensive 168 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 4: due process. But if you have your citizen child, you're 169 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 4: off the hook. We can't send that matches. We'll never 170 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 4: fix the more. 171 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: But the fourteenth Amendment does not differentiate between somebody who's 172 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: in this country legally or illegal. 173 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 4: I'm not attorney, but I don't think the fourteen memine 174 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 4: tryings ads at all. We have just as many legal scholars, 175 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 4: constitutional scholars say, doesn't really say that. So what President 176 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 4: Trump is taking that action will let Supreme Court decide. 177 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: I love how Tom Homan is making it clear we 178 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: want this debate. This was a very clear political decision 179 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: by Donald Trump for this debate to happen. There are 180 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: many legal scholars that say he's going to lose, but 181 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: it's obvious that the White House wants us to be 182 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: a grand debate, and that is exactly what they are 183 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: going to get all the way at the Supreme Court. 184 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump also has made it clear that he is 185 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: going to get the right people into his government to 186 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: help him on issues like securing the border. He's also 187 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: going to get rid of many of the woke people 188 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: that were appointed by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Well. 189 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: The mantra for Tuesday was you're fired the head of 190 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: the TSA and the Coastguard were fired on Trump's first 191 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: full day in office. Trump moved quickly to remake, as 192 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: he described it, the Department of Homeland Security, firing the 193 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: heads of the Transportation Security Administration and the Coastguard before 194 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: their terms were up, and eliminated all the members of 195 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: a key aviation security advisory group as well, calling the 196 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: system out bloated and not working with Donald Trump and 197 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: his vision for his administration. Now, the media, of course 198 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: they lost their mind. You should not be concerned because 199 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: this is exactly what should happen when you are elected. 200 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: You get to pick who you want to come in 201 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: and to actually lead under your leadership. And the last 202 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: thing you want and Donald Trump learned this the last time, 203 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: was having people that act like they're loyal to the 204 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: president and loyal to your mission, who really are just 205 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,479 Speaker 1: flat out lying to you the entire time and undermining 206 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: and not doing what your job is. And if Donald 207 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: Trump's job is to get the right people pro conservatives 208 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: in these office places, well he's moving extremely fast to 209 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: make sure he learns from his mistakes. Back in twenty sixteen, 210 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trump also ordered all federal Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 211 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: employees placed on paid leave starting Wednesday by five o'clock. 212 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: That's right. The Trump administration directing the government agencies to 213 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: draw plans for firing workers in all DEI roles and 214 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: to close every single DEI office within the government agencies. 215 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: The memo issued Tuesday to heads of departments of the 216 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: US government and agencies. The US government set that deadline 217 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: of no later than five pm Wednesday to inform the 218 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: employees that they will be put on paid administrative leave 219 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: as the agencies prepare to close all DEI related offices 220 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: and programs and to remove all websites and social media 221 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: accounts for such offices. It also asks federal agencies to 222 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: submit a written plan by January the thirty first for 223 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: dismissing these employees now. President Trump signed that executive order Monday, 224 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: inning radical and wasteful quote unquote diversity, equity and inclusion 225 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: programs in the federal agencies, with DEI offices and programs 226 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: being ordered to shut down. New White House press singer 227 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: Terry Caroline Levitt said in a statement Tuesday night, this 228 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: is another win for Americans of all races, religions, and creeds. 229 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: This is another example of Donald Trump making a promise 230 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: and keeping it. President Trump campaigned on ending the DEI 231 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: of our federal government in returning America to a merit 232 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: based society where people are hired based on their skills, 233 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: she said, not for the color of their skin. Now, 234 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 1: it is not clear how many employees will be affected. 235 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: The White House did not immediately respond to request for 236 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: comment on that. But what the President made clear is 237 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: that this was an executive order that he knew the 238 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: American people wanted. Now, the left has become obsessed with DEI. 239 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: In fact, DEI has infiltrated virtually every aspect of our government, 240 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: including the Pentagon pete Headseth was asked about the DEI 241 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: policies and what it's doing to the readiness of our 242 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: military and is it helping or dividing troops. Here's what 243 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: he had to say to his confirmation hearing. 244 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 5: I've written publicly that DII policy or distraction and have 245 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 5: military personnel walking on edgshells. Do you believe that emails 246 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 5: like that that are essentially threatening both serving officer and 247 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 5: a spouse and claiming that they'll lose their pension will 248 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 5: have a distraction and detract from the lethality. 249 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 3: Senator, you mentioned the forties and fifties, and your precisely right. 250 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 3: The military was a forerunner in courageous racial integration in 251 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 3: ways no other institutions were willing to do. I served 252 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 3: with men and women of all backgrounds because of the 253 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 3: courage of people do lay. It's most incredibly importantly, however, 254 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 3: the DEI policies of today are not the same as 255 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 3: what happened back then. They're dividing troops inside formations, causing 256 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 3: commanders to walk on eggshells, not put meritocracy first. That's 257 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 3: the indictment that's made by those serving right now. And 258 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: why we're having this conversation. 259 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: I love the left here. They're obsessed with trying to say, well, 260 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: you just can't do this. And guess what, Donald Trump 261 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: is putting people into positions of power where they're saying, 262 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm going back to a merit based system. This is 263 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: one of those subjects that you should be talking about 264 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: with your kids and your grandkids. This is one of 265 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: those moments where I truly believe that we must talk 266 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: to our kids about we shouldn't be hiring someone based 267 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: on the color of their skin or their sexual orientation. 268 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: And what the left has done is put our national 269 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: security at risk, our border security at risk, our government 270 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: agencies at risk because instead of picking the best and 271 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: the brightest for job regardless of their skin color, they 272 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: have our sexual orientation. What the Biden Airs administration said was, 273 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: you can't hire people based on if they're amazing at 274 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: a job. You must hire a group of people that 275 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: is in all forms of Kumbaiism, where you must have 276 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: a certain piece of the pie that is transgendered, a 277 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: certain piece that's gay, a certain piece is lesbian, a 278 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: certain piece that is Hispanic or African American, or gay 279 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: in African American, or transgendered in African American, or Asian 280 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: and transgendered or Asian and lesbian, Asian and gay that 281 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: they're obsession with having a pie that is forced to 282 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: be all of these things. Notice what they left out 283 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: merit based. A merit based system is incredibly important. A 284 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: merit based system is what we should be looking at, 285 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: especially at the FBI, at the DOJ, in hiring people 286 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: in our military. The last thing I want to know 287 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: is that someone was hired because of the color of 288 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: their skinned or their sexual orientation, or their gender that 289 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: they quote identify as. I want to know that when 290 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: we go to war. We have the best people, by 291 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: the way. I don't give a crap if that means 292 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: you're gay or straight, or black or white, or Asian 293 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: or Indian or Hispanic. I don't care. I want to 294 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: know we have the best people for the job. And 295 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: what the President is saying is that is exactly what 296 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna do. We're not gonna have these kumbay A pies. 297 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: We're not gonna have people in the military leading the 298 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: military who are men dressed like women. That is something 299 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden Kamala Harris actually did. We're not gonna 300 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: have people over health and human services that are dudes 301 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: dressed like chicks. We're not gonna have people that are 302 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: in charge of nuclear waste that are dudes dressed like 303 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: chicks who are stealing women's clothes at airports. That is 304 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: also something else that Joe Biden than Kamala Harris made 305 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: a priority and employed, because what they decided is that 306 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: the government hiring was all about DEI not about the 307 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: best people for the job. These same people, by the way, 308 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: that we're making these decisions are the same ones that 309 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden had to put on a list to pardon 310 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: because they're afraid that they were so about their jobs 311 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: and instead of actually doing their job for the American people, 312 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: they were breaking laws. You look at people like Fauci, 313 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: You look at people like Chuck Schumer and his staff 314 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: and how they weaponized the government to go after their 315 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: political enemies. You look at all of the people like 316 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: Mark Milly that were given a pardon for goodness sakes 317 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: because they were more obsessed with things like DEI than 318 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: they were serving the American people. This is what got 319 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: us into this mess. Now. I got to tell you, 320 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,479 Speaker 1: the fact that Donald Trump is moving as fast as 321 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: he is on this is incredible and it's going to 322 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: have a massive impact on this country, I think for 323 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 1: years to come. I want to turn to something that 324 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: Donald Trump announced that is also another campaign promise kept. 325 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: Donald Trump said it is time for other countries to 326 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: pay their fair share, especially when it comes to foreign aid. 327 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: The countries for far too long have been taking advantage 328 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: of the United States of America organizations like the World 329 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: Health Organization, or the United Nations or NATO. The list 330 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: goes on and on. So what did President Trump do? 331 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: He signed an executive order suspending all US foreign assistance 332 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: programs for the next ninety days, pending what he describes 333 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: as a comprehensive review to ensure their alignment with his 334 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: administration's policy objectives. Now, the suspension affects a wide range 335 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: of global initiatives, including the humanitarian aid packages that we send, 336 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: economic development packages, and health programs. I believe the US 337 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: contributes approximately seventy point three billion annually in four and 338 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: aid supporting various international efforts. Donald Trump is saying, that's 339 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: too much money. And you and I the taxpayer, are 340 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: having to pay that seventy plus billion, and we don't 341 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: have it, which means we're borrowing it, and then we're 342 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: paying interest on it as well. Now, in conjunction with 343 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: the suspension, President Trump also announced the United States is 344 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: withdrawn from the WHO, known as the World Health Organization. 345 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: It is a process that will take effect in twelve months. 346 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: So everyone that's freaking out over this calmed down. This 347 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: could be used as major leverage over the next twelve 348 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: months to get a better deal. Why do we need 349 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: a better deal? Well, as President Trump put it, the 350 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: US is overwhelmingly the largest financial contributor to the World 351 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: Health Organization, accounting for about twenty percent of its overall funding. 352 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: This decision has raised many concerns in the White House 353 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: that we are just writing checks that no one else 354 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: in the world is willing to write. So what are 355 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: the faucies of the world saying right now, Well, they're 356 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: saying that this decision was raising quote major concerns among 357 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: global health experts, who are now warning that it could 358 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: undermine the international health initiatives, particularly in low income countries. 359 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: The President's response is clear, why are we paying twenty 360 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: percent of the who's contributions? Now, the Secretary of State, 361 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio has been tasked with evaluating each foreign aid program. 362 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: So this will not be done at the Oval office level. 363 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: He's saying, Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, he needs to 364 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: dive into this. He needs to evaluate each four and 365 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: aid program and then Marco Rubio will determine its contributions 366 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: to America's safety, America's strength, and America's prosperity. That is 367 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: the criteria laid out by Donald Trump. Now, while the 368 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: suspension is comprehensive, funding appropriated by Congress and obligations to 369 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: long term aid recipients like Israel, Egypt and Jordan will 370 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: remain quote unquote unaffected. That is what the AP is 371 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: reporting at this hour. Now, these actions reflect quote a 372 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: significant shift in US foreign policy, emphasizing an America first approach, 373 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: which clearly the American people wanted. Now, Donald Trump's approach 374 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: and reevaluation of the nation's role in international assistance in 375 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: global health leadership could save the American taxpayer literally hundreds 376 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: of billions of dollars. That is exactly why he said, 377 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 1: this is an American first policy. We are not going 378 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: to be the piggy bank for the rest of the world. 379 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: He's also call other nations that aren't giving like we are, saying, 380 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: if you think these policies are so good and these 381 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: initiatives are so good, then you need to pay your 382 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: fair share. But America is not going to be an 383 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: idiot or a dummy any longer. And that's the best 384 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: part about all of this. Now, it's not just foreign 385 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: aid that has become a hot button issue. Speaker Mike 386 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: Johnson and the White House seem to be in lockstep 387 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: on another issue, and that is when it comes to 388 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: rebuilding California after the horrific wildfires. There's a lot of debate. Now, 389 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: how much should you, the American taxpayer be on the 390 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: hook to rebuild after human government mismanagement. Now, the people 391 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: in California gets decide to who they want to send 392 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: to Washingt, d C. Or who they want to be 393 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: their governor or their mayor, and they have the right 394 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: to be incompetent. But when they get it wrong, and 395 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: that incompetence costs people's lives and results in massive destruction 396 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: we're witnessing right now that was clearly avoidable. Should you 397 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: and I bail them out as well? 398 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 3: Well? 399 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson was asked about that on John Hannity's TV 400 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: show that they did live from the Capitol, and here 401 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: is what he said. 402 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 6: Let's go to a specific example, our old friend gavenussem Okay, 403 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 6: a lot of Gavin fans here, I can tell her. 404 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 6: I actually feel sorry for the people in California that 405 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 6: we're making. You know, what do they lose thirteen thousand structures? 406 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 6: I mean, it's terrible, and they never practiced the science 407 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 6: of forestry. How do you have a fire hydrant that 408 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 6: has no water? How do you have a reservoir that 409 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 6: is empty? That is government to me at its worst. Right, 410 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 6: they didn't have control burns that didn't clear the kindling 411 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 6: the brush that was that you should be clearing out. 412 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 6: And but you go to California, they're a sanctuary state. 413 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 6: LA and San Francisco are sanctuary cities. Okay, Gavin is 414 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 6: doubling down on a fight Trump agenda. You know, Trump 415 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 6: proved California, right, and so are you saying that you 416 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 6: that California if they continue to aid and a bet 417 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 6: law breaking and harbor illegal immigrants, money from DC gets 418 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 6: cut off. 419 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, we're talking about conditions to this disaster. Look, they're 420 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 7: natural disasters, but there are man made disasters as well. 421 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 7: And they made terrible decisions. You know, they knew exactly 422 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 7: what they were doing. That reservoir outside of Pacific Palisades 423 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 7: one hundred and seventeen million gallons, it was empty for 424 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 7: a year. Why they were trying to save a smelt 425 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 7: fish or something. I mean, their policies are upside down. 426 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 7: They made decisions that made that disaster exponentially worse. And 427 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 7: this is what the American taxpayer is demanding of us 428 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 7: everywhere else in the country. 429 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 6: But take a step further. Yeah, represent any representatives from 430 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 6: California here, anybody? Well, Okay, Hi, he's bashful. That's Caavin's 431 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 6: cousin in the back. 432 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: No, I'm kidding. I'm teasing. 433 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 6: Congressmen and women from California. Republicans will come and say, 434 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 6: if you do this to my state, I'll never win reelection. 435 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 7: No, the Californias that are here are fiscal conservatives. They're 436 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 7: fiscally responsible. They know that we owe the taxpayer some 437 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 7: accountability for those funds, and so what we're talking about 438 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 7: is making sure that they follow common sense in California, 439 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 7: and if there's culpability for what happened, there really needs 440 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 7: to be conditions that follow that aid. It's not unprecedented, 441 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 7: by the way, after Katrina and my Styff there are 442 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 7: conditions placed upon the funds that happened after Hurricane Sandy 443 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 7: up in the Northeast. So there's a tradition of doing this, 444 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 7: and in California it certainly makes sense. So we're going 445 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 7: to come to consensus on with them. 446 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 6: Would conditions be tied to defundismantle Nobelos. 447 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 7: Look, I think all those issues have to be addressed. 448 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 7: When you're talking about disaster raid, you don't want to 449 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 7: leave the people you know who are really hurting without 450 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 7: something because of the terrible political choices of their leaders. 451 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 7: But we got to thread that needle the right way. 452 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 7: But I think that what we're talking about here is 453 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 7: restoring common sense, even in the state of California. Right 454 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 7: the mandate, we have, the responsibility you have, We're going 455 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 7: to do that very thing. 456 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: I love the way that was described there. You can 457 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: be compassionate without us being suckers. Now the left, of course, 458 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: is going crazy. The minority leader in the House a 459 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 1: guy by the name of Representative Jeffries. He was asked 460 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: on Meet the Press on Sunday about disaster AID and 461 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: he went back to quote the history in America. Take 462 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: a listen, let me. 463 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 8: Get your take on disaster aid. Leader Jeffries, you just 464 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 8: heard Speaker Johnson very clearly say that yes, there may 465 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 8: be strings attached, that yes, it's possible that they will 466 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 8: move to try to link it to an increase in 467 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 8: the debt limit. Would you vote yes if that were 468 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 8: to come before you, if that were the only way 469 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 8: you believe to get disaster relief to Californians. 470 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 9: The California delegation in the House has been very clear 471 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 9: that they do not support conditioning disaster assistance to the 472 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 9: American people whose lives have been overturned as a result 473 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 9: of the historic wildfires in California. In the history of 474 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 9: this country, we have never conditioned disaster assistance to Americans 475 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,239 Speaker 9: who are hurting. Why would we do it? 476 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 3: Right now? 477 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 9: Here's the answer in terms of why House Republicans are 478 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 9: proposing to do just that. House Republicans want to pass 479 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 9: massive tax breaks for billionaires and wealthy corporations to benefit 480 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 9: the wealthy, the well off, and the well connected, and 481 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 9: to stick the bill with working class Americans and those 482 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 9: in the middle class who they claim to want to support. 483 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 9: That is not an effort. That is not a scheme 484 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 9: that Democrats will support. 485 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: I love how it calls this scheme. In other words, 486 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: Democrats believe, no matter how incompetent Democrats are or the 487 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: people that vote for them, and how expensive their incompetency become, 488 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: when it's a disaster, that you, the American taxpayer, should 489 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: shut up, borrow the money and write the damn check. 490 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: Whether it's a billion dollars, fifty billion, one hundred and 491 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: fifty or three hundred billion. They don't care. They want 492 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: you to write the check. And what Donald Trump is 493 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: saying and what Speaker Johnson is saying is no, that 494 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: is not what the people send us to Washington to do. 495 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: Make sure you hit that subscribe or auto download button 496 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: for this podcast.
