We start tonight with some new developments on 11 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine. This coming from Senator Ron Johnson, who's 12 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: been on the show for the last two years, warning 13 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: that we would learn about He has raised the alarm 14 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: about newly uncovered documents that reveal that federal health agencies, 15 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: including the FDA and CDC, were aware of heart inflammation 16 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: risk tied to the mRNA COVID nineteen vaccines, but delayed 17 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: notifying the public. These documents highlighted in a recent Permanent 18 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: Subcommittee on Investigations, of what came out today, Just the 19 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: News had first suggests officials downplayed these risks, delaying critical 20 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: transparency that could have informed Americans health decisions much sooner. 21 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: The report states that then acting FDA Administrator Janet Woodcock 22 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: tried pushing back on a CDC plan to let healthcare 23 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: providers know about the heart risk associated with the COVID vaccines, 24 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: and that effort reportedly ended up getting a formal notification 25 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: by the CDC rejected slow stopdown, meaning you were kept 26 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: in the dark. Instead, the CDC just put a posting 27 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: on their website about it. No one goes and reads 28 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: the back pages of the CDC. You get out. This 29 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: game is played right and journing to some immigration news now. 30 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: A Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals Judge James Ho 31 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: went out of his way to sharply criticize the Supreme 32 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: Court for blocking President Trump's efforts to deport legal immigrants 33 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: under the Alien Enemy Acts. HOE, a Trump appointee, argued 34 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: the Court's decision to halt the removal of two Venezuelan 35 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: migrants alleged members of the dangerous Trendo Agua gang undermines 36 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: the executive authority to secure the border. Supreme Court's five 37 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: four ruling, which sent the case back to a lower 38 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: court is a roadblock to President Trump's efforts to secure 39 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: the border. This judge went out of his way to 40 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: write a letter just express his dissent. It's really pretty remarkable, 41 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: all right. Time to bring in my amazing coast a 42 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: man ahead as we do at the point of this show, Amanda, 43 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: you've been watching a lot of headlines and do a 44 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: lot of work inside the White House too, India cooking. 45 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: Yes, all right, So we saw some fireworks today in 46 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: the ogal office, as we now, as President Trump hosted 47 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: South African President Cyril Cyril Ramaposa, and as you would expect, 48 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: the subject of the white South Africans fleeing persecution from 49 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: that country and coming to our country came up, and 50 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: President Trump did not hold back, playing video with the 51 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: voice of South African politician Julius Malema. And here's what 52 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: that looked like earlier today. And it was aptical and 53 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 2: quite uncomfortable. 54 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 3: From you. We don't care. 55 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: The video went on for minutes, with South Africa's Rama 56 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: Posa regularly looking away, obviously trying to interject, and President 57 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: Trump saying be quiet. And as I said, it featured 58 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: politician and former member of Ramaposa's party, Julius Malema. So 59 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: you may know Mileyma from the clips that are going 60 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: around the internet of him and thousands of other South 61 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: Africans singing and chanting kill the bore and shoot the boar, 62 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: being South africaners. And President Ramaposa reacted after the video 63 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: saying this to President Trump. 64 00:03:53,040 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 4: Our government policy is completely completely against what he was saying, 65 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 4: even into Parliament. And they're a small minority party which 66 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: is allowed to exist in terms of constitutions. 67 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 5: When you do allow them to land. 68 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: No, no, no to allow them. 69 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 6: They came to land, they killed the white farmer, and 70 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 6: when they killed the white farmer, nothing happens to that. 71 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 2: So John, I would argue that we have a small 72 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: faction of radical liberals in our own country as well. 73 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: But as much as I disagree with their methods, they're 74 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: not exactly going around torching farms murdering farmers. 75 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: Well, they we're touching teslas anyways. 76 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 7: And businesses during the beal Listen. 77 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: This is going to get a lot more investigation. And 78 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: I was just before the show, I was going back 79 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: in through the State Department Human Rights reports in the 80 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: biden Eram and they did report hundreds of farm murders 81 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: over a three or four year period. Now it doesn't 82 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: break it down by race. I'd like to find out that. 83 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: We're going to dig further into this to find out 84 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: who's telling to truths. But there is a farm murder problem. 85 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: Even the State Department went out of way to say 86 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: it's part of the human rights abuses, whether they're white 87 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: or black farmers. We're going to get into that. We're 88 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: going to try to get the victim's list for all that. 89 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: We'll come back to you, but we'll get this without 90 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: facts are summer thing. We'll get to the bottom of it. 91 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: But it was an awkward moment, but something need to 92 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: be said, and I guess it was said. All right, 93 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: We absolutely yeah, all right. Well, we're very lucky to 94 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: be joined at the time of the show by one 95 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: of Congress's newest members. He's from the state of Florida. 96 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: He's already making his presence well known in Washington. Congressman, 97 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: do you find Congressman great to have you back on 98 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: show today? Thanks for having me, all right, you are 99 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: working hard along with all the other members to get 100 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: this big, beautiful bill across the finish line. I've been 101 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: in Washington thirty five years. A lot of things in 102 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: this bill were being talked about by Republicans when Ronald 103 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: Reagan was still president. It achieves if it gets pasted, 104 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the checklists of the conservative movement for 105 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: a very long time. How important is it to get 106 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: this and what do you say to your members, who 107 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: are your fellow members who might be holding out. 108 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 8: Well, look, if they want to fight to preserve medicaid 109 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 8: for legal immigrants or to fight a border wall, if 110 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 8: they want to side with Democrats, they can. 111 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 5: I wouldn't recommend it. 112 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 8: I mean, remember, the only bipartisan nature of this will 113 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 8: be opposition. So Republicans will support the bill. The question 114 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 8: is whether the people want to side with the Democrats. 115 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 8: I mean, look, this preserves tax credits, it's going to 116 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 8: reduce taxes on Social Security, it's going to make permanent 117 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 8: the Trump tax cuts, it's going to cut spending where 118 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 8: we need to cut it in ways that we've never seen. 119 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 8: And more importantly, it's going to show that Republicans can 120 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 8: govern and that we support our team Captain Donald Trump. 121 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 5: And that's why I'm all in. 122 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, makes sense, Congressman. 123 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: If this doesn't pass, Americans will feel it pretty much 124 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: right away because those Trump Trump tax cuts will expire. 125 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: But if it does pass, what will Americans feel. What 126 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 2: will be the earliest indicators that this is a successful bill. 127 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 8: Well, I think you're going to see stabilization in the market. 128 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 8: So I used to teach economics. One of the things 129 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 8: we taught is that temporary tax cuts aren't as good 130 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 8: as permanent tax cuts, even though they cost the same 131 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 8: on an annual basis, because people can't plan around temporary 132 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 8: tax cuts. If you don't know if your taxes are 133 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 8: going to go up, you may not make investments, you 134 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 8: may not buy a house, you may not buy a car, 135 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 8: you may not know what's going to happen. And by 136 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 8: creating certainty for people, we're going to help. The other 137 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 8: thing we're going to do is we're going to make 138 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 8: sure we are not a big, beautiful place for illegal immigrants. 139 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 8: And as those people start to leave in Florida, we 140 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 8: will see things like car insurance go down. 141 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 5: We have a huge tax in Florida on illegal immigration. 142 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 8: It's called uninsured and under insured motorist insurance, and it 143 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 8: never gets talked about. It's the single largest line on 144 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 8: some people's car insurance. So as we tell illegal immigrants 145 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 8: go home. We're going to see the cost of living. 146 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 5: Come down as well. 147 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 8: And I just think the amount of positive things are 148 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 8: going to come out of this bill will be extraordinary. 149 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. Positive, Yeah, And you know, there are ideas that 150 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: have been on the table long time this Congress and 151 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: getting them all in one bill, getting it done. It'll 152 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: be a remark. There is an idea floating around it. 153 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: It's actually remarkable that a president doesn't have the lawful 154 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: authority right now that if he gets exactly the job 155 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: done that Congress want it for an appropriation. Maybe there's 156 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: a billion dollars for a bidg and the president gets 157 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: a built for eight million. There's no direct vehicle for 158 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: the just give the money back. He has to go 159 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: through a recision or an impoundment, and both of those 160 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: have been very difficult in the history of this country. 161 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: There's some language floating around my report. He's detected. It's 162 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: been on the show people have been talking about last 163 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: few days that a couple of lines that could be 164 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: added to this bill or a future bill that would say, hey, 165 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: if a president meets everything Congress has them to do, 166 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: met the intent and the actual deliverables and he does 167 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: less because he was a good negotiator. Of course he 168 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: can give them money back and Congress would be okay 169 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: with that. Again, the language will matter. It's got to 170 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: get ironed out. But that common sense idea coming from 171 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: the state of Florida, where there's lots of common sense, 172 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: how would you feel about something like that being stuck 173 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: in the bill. 174 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 5: Well, I think it's a great idea. 175 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 8: Look, the existential crisis that faces our country is our 176 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 8: debt and our deficit. And if I'm frustrated about one 177 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 8: thing that I've observed in my first six weeks doing this, 178 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 8: it's that people don't seem to understand that Rome is burning. 179 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 8: I mean, I'm amazed that people come to my office 180 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 8: and they ask for more money, and I say to them, 181 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 8: you guys, understand how much debt we have, how much, 182 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 8: how big our deficits are. We need to be not 183 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 8: asking what our country can do for you, We ask 184 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 8: what we can do for the country. Instead, it's been 185 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 8: turned around, ask not what you can do for your country, 186 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 8: ask what your country can do for you. And so 187 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 8: anything that we can do to be cutting spending we 188 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 8: ought to be doing. 189 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, a good point currently sitting at what one point 190 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 2: six trillion in spending cuts, but there are some folks 191 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: who want even more. Is there any chance that you 192 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 2: can eke out more? 193 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 8: Well, I hope so, I mean certainly, Look, i'd like more. 194 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 8: But what I have to remind people of is this. 195 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 8: I mean, look, I'm new, but I think we're going 196 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 8: to consider other bills after we get this one done. 197 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 8: So there's nothing that says we can't keep cutting down 198 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 8: the road, and I think that we need to the 199 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 8: most important thing is that we get something. And the 200 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 8: problem that we have is half of the House is 201 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 8: Democrat and they have no desire to govern. They will 202 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 8: blow up the country in order to make sure gang 203 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 8: members can stay here, kill Americans and get welfare. 204 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 5: And that's what we're dealing with. 205 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 8: So we've got to basically get every sane person to 206 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 8: support the bill in order to do anything. 207 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 5: And so I would love five trillion dollars. 208 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 8: Look, the deficit's about two trillion a year, so we 209 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 8: need to be saving a whole lot more money to 210 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 8: get the budget in balance. But one point six is 211 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 8: a start, and then I think we got to keep 212 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 8: going from there. 213 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, really good point, sir. You are an eloquent and 214 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: powerful voice for fighting anti Semitism and standing by Israel 215 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: during this extraordinary time in Middle East history and world history. 216 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes every time Israel tries to assert its authority, immediately 217 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: there's a cry, this is an unfair of Laya, this 218 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: is genocide. They got all the different terms they use. 219 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: I know you feel very strongly that Israel is justified, 220 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: and where it's headed over the next few weeks, and 221 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: where it's been working in the last few months. Tell 222 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: us a little bit about what your colleagues on capital. 223 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: He'll tell you now that you've arrived on the scene here. 224 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 8: Well, I think there's broad support for Israel among most 225 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 8: of the members. There's certainly some that don't, frankly, unfortunately 226 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 8: on both sides. But the fact of the matter is this, 227 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 8: Muslim terrorists are holding fifty eight people hostage, and until 228 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 8: they're released and Hamas unconditionally surrenders, Israel should do whatever 229 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 8: they have to do to solve that problem. We did 230 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 8: not go booho, who the Nazis are getting beat, Let's 231 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 8: stop bombing and come up with a way to govern 232 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 8: with them. We didn't do that with Herohito. In fact, 233 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 8: we knuked them twice. The first time they didn't get 234 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 8: the message. So these people are bad people, and the 235 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 8: solution to that is unconditional surrender. 236 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 2: Speaking of Israel, Israel has the Iron Dome. President Trump 237 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: wants the Golden Dome. He just selected a design that 238 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: I think the price tag is about one hundred and 239 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: seventy five billion. That actually seems quite low for something that, 240 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: at least if it resembles the one in Israel, is 241 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: an unbelievably advanced hung metal. We would have to have 242 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: it stationed multiple places across the country, including Florida. 243 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 7: Looking forward to something like that coming to your shores. 244 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 8: Well, look, I mean, we've got to make sure we 245 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 8: can't get hit by a missile from somewhere. The hardest 246 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 8: part of the Golden Dome is the math. I mean, 247 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 8: what's amazing about the Iron Dome. And I say this 248 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 8: to my kids whenever they complain about math, is the 249 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 8: entire thing is a math problem. Predicting where one rocket 250 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 8: will go in real time and shooting another rocket to 251 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 8: intercept that. 252 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 5: The only real difference in the US and israels. 253 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 8: That were bigger, so they ought to be able to 254 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 8: come up with a pretty good estimate and if they 255 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 8: think one hundred and seventy five billion is enough, they 256 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 8: know how much the Iron Dome costs. It's just something 257 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 8: on a larger scale. I don't know that that much 258 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 8: technology needs to be invented. We know how to intercept rockets. 259 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 8: It's just we're a bigger country. 260 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 5: Yeah. 261 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: Just creating that web and making sure we're protected at 262 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: all times is amazing. You talked about after the Big 263 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill, and there's a lot more work. I know 264 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: you want to get to what's top of mind for you? 265 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: What are some of the priorities as we headed to 266 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: the summer. If this big beautiful bill gets through, you'd 267 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: like to see I was jumped to next. 268 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 8: Well, I think we've got to keep looking at spending. 269 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 8: I mean, we have to look at all the things 270 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 8: the Doge came up with. The President has a budget, 271 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 8: it has cuts. We can't stop at the Big Beautiful 272 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 8: Bill if we want to save our country. Every great 273 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 8: empire in history has risen and fallen, and you cannot 274 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 8: spend money the way the United States is forever. The 275 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 8: reason interest rates are so high is because we have 276 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 8: to borrow so much money in order to fund the government, 277 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 8: and the past debt. If we want to make home 278 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 8: ownership more affordable, if we want to make cars more affordable, 279 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 8: if we want to make credit cards more affordable, we 280 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 8: want to make education more affordable, the government has to 281 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 8: stop crowding out the private debt market, and the only 282 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 8: way we do that is to get spending under control. Look, 283 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 8: things went off the rails when we went from looking 284 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 8: at government doing things that are good from all of 285 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 8: us for taking money from one person and giving it 286 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 8: to another. 287 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 5: The purpose of government is not to give people money. 288 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 8: The purpose of government is to take care of us 289 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 8: all and I'm going to be focused on trying to 290 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 8: get us to remain that. I think my colleagues need 291 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 8: to worry about what the voters say, but they need 292 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 8: to worry about what their children will say, because twenty 293 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 8: or thirty or forty years from now, if America's collapse 294 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 8: under the weight of the debt, our, kids will not 295 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 8: judge us favorably. And that's what I worry about, even 296 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 8: more than the next election. 297 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, there's no doubt about it, sir.

He had a lot to say about this bill, 306 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: what he can get done, and what Republicans need to 307 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: do to pull it over the line.

Joining us right now, the 340 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: Deputy Chief of Staff for the White House, our good 341 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: friend James Blair. James, Welcome to the show. 342 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 9: Hey guys, So are you nice to see you? 343 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: Great to see you. I know you're busy at work 344 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: day in and day out with all of these things 345 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: that are stacking up. I want to talk about this 346 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: big bill. Over the over nine hours, Amanda wrote a 347 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: really important story. It achieves like thirty years of conservative 348 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: wishless This is probably dreams that go all the way 349 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: back to the Reagan administration. How important is it to 350 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: get this over the finish line, even with some of 351 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: the bickering going on right now. 352 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 9: Getting this bill across the finish line, John, will be 353 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 9: perhaps the single most important legislative achievement that most of 354 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 9: these members of Congress have ever done in their career 355 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 9: in Congress to date, and maybe some that will ever do. 356 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 9: We'll see, hopefully we get even better packages than this 357 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 9: in the future. But you mentioned the wish list absolutely. 358 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 9: First of all, it's a renewal of the twenty seventeen 359 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 9: Tax Cutting Jobs Act, which was the biggest tax cut 360 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 9: in American history that President Trump passed, right and then 361 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 9: on top of that, we have all of the tax 362 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 9: cuts that the President campaigned on in twenty twenty four, 363 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 9: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime pay, a 364 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 9: huge tax cut for seniors on Social Security, and even 365 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 9: with all of those tax cuts shown, it has the 366 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 9: biggest spending reform in American history. It is twice the 367 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 9: biggest number that has been passed any time recently, and 368 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 9: that was almost thirty years ago under Bill Clinton. So 369 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 9: we're getting the country on a better footing. We're doing 370 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 9: massive tax cuts for the middle and working class while 371 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 9: still improving the fiscal outlook of the country. And then 372 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 9: there's just so many good things to love within that 373 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 9: we can talk about all of it, but just a 374 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 9: few to highlight. 375 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: John. 376 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 9: First of all, we're banning Medicaid dollars from going to 377 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 9: medical providers that do transgender surgeries on minors. Okay, this 378 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 9: is the one and only chance to get that done. 379 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 9: We are getting all of the money that we need 380 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 9: to run a mass deportation operation, which the American people 381 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 9: voted for and is still supported by a majority of 382 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 9: the country. 383 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: Right. 384 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 9: And once we get those people out of our country, 385 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 9: particularly the criminals, we're also going to improve our fiscal 386 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 9: outlook because we're going to get them off the public programs. 387 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 9: We're kicking illegals off Medicaid, Millions of illegal immigrants are 388 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 9: on Medicaid in this country. It's costing US hundreds of 389 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 9: billions of dollars and we're getting them all off the rolls. 390 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 9: So that is just a little bit of a flavor, John, 391 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 9: But there's just so much to love about it. It 392 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 9: is an incredible bill. Like I said, it'll be the 393 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 9: biggest piece of legislation that most of them have ever 394 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 9: passed or will ever pass, and it's really going to 395 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 9: get us off on the right foot. 396 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 7: James. 397 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: It was amazing to see because I think we all 398 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 2: know behind the scenes numbers and what they were prior 399 00:18:58,480 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 2: to President Trump going. 400 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 7: Up to Apple to Hill yesterday. Maybe he should have 401 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,479 Speaker 7: Republican whip to his resume. 402 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 2: But what was it that he said to those lawmakers, 403 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: because it certainly moved the needle with seemingly enough to 404 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: get this closer to the finish line. 405 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 9: Absolutely. Look, the main thing was he said, we've got 406 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 9: to get this done. You know, some people have a 407 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 9: few things that they don't like necessarily or they would 408 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 9: like to have a little bit more of, but look, 409 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 9: this is governing in a close majority. It's an incredible bill, 410 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 9: and he wants to get it done now. And the 411 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 9: alternative is far worse. We need to You know, there's 412 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 9: some grand standards out there, which the President has spoken 413 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 9: about very clearly, that want to talk about, oh, it 414 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 9: doesn't do enough. 415 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: Here or there. 416 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 5: Well, here's the facts. 417 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 9: If we don't pass this bill, what actually happens is 418 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 9: the largest tax hike in American history will happen at 419 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 9: the end of this year. If we don't pass this bill, 420 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 9: the country will default on its debt, which could possibly 421 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 9: cause a global depression. Right, But we're not We're not 422 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 9: going to fail. We're going to pass this bill. If 423 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 9: we don't pass this bill, debt and deficit are going 424 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 9: to skyrocket. So it is an extraordinarily good bill. And 425 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 9: there's a little bit more work that's going to be 426 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 9: done in the Senate, no doubt. So it's not even 427 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 9: the end of the road. What's important here is we 428 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 9: keep this bill moving, we move it along to the Senate, 429 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 9: we continue to hammer out the process. But the alternative 430 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 9: is far, far worse. And like I said, there's so 431 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 9: much to love about it. So much of what everybody 432 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 9: campaigned on, especially the President campaign on, is contained in 433 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 9: this bill. Border security, tax cuts, deregulation, unleashing American energy, 434 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 9: rebuilding our military so that we can get these piece 435 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 9: deals done right because strength is back piece is backed 436 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 9: up through strength, which the President has always said very clearly. 437 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 9: So now is not the time for grandstanding. Now is 438 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,959 Speaker 9: not the time for fundraising. Now is the time to govern. 439 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 9: This is a governing majority. That's the moment we're in. 440 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 9: And the President hopes that all members of Congress will 441 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 9: meet the moment, and he expects they will ultimately. 442 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they will. This is too big a moment 443 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: to let's squander. There's a seesaw that's happening right now. 444 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: When the salt tax deduction goes up, the spending hawks 445 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: suddenly go down in support. It's one thing that's been 446 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: talked about in the last twenty four as. I just 447 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: wanted to run it by and see if a White 448 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: House would think about this, is that in this bill 449 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: they can insert language that tells a president, if you 450 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: can deliver president's priorities under the budget for below the 451 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: number that the Congress appropriate, you can just simply send 452 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: the money back to the Treasury. You don't have to 453 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: do recision, you don't have to do impoundment. It's sort 454 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: of something between those two things. A lot of lawmakers 455 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: have been talking about it previously. In the last twenty 456 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: four hours, would that be something because the president of 457 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 1: the Master CEO, he could perhaps make savings that Congress 458 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: couldn't vision in their appropriations. Would the White House be 459 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: open to that concept. 460 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 9: Look, the White House has been on the front lines 461 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 9: of reducing spending. It is the President of put Doge 462 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 9: in place to start rooting out the waste, fraud, and abuse. 463 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 9: It is the President who has been the boldest president 464 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 9: in American history to go after the waste and the 465 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 9: corruption and the misuse of taxpayer dollars and the agencies 466 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 9: and the executive brand. I mean, you know it's funny, right, 467 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 9: sometimes in government you never want to cut your own program. Well, 468 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 9: so President cutting the executive branch agencies. 469 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: Right. 470 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 9: So we're doing our part, and we are pushing Congress 471 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 9: to do more. Look, we're going to look at that language. 472 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 9: I think it is floating around. But what's most important, again, 473 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 9: this is just the first step in a multi step process. 474 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 9: We've got to move this bill out of the House 475 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 9: this week, We've got to get it over to the Senate. 476 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 9: It's going to continue to get worked on a little 477 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 9: bit we'll come back to the House and I think 478 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 9: that we support all the spending reductions that we can do, 479 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 9: but at the end of the day. 480 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 5: We have to pass the bill. 481 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 9: We have to get the votes and pass the bill, 482 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 9: and under any circumstances, it will be by far the 483 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 9: largest spinning reductions in American history, by far anything that's 484 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 9: been done in three decades, and will absolutely put the 485 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 9: country on a better fiscal footing for the future. And 486 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 9: here's the deal to turn this battleship around. John, It's 487 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 9: going to take a multi step process. You know as 488 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 9: well as I do that Joe Biden and the Democrats 489 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 9: wreck this country over a period of time. This is 490 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 9: going to get us way out of the gate, get 491 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 9: us really far in where we need to go, to 492 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 9: have prices down, to give people the tax relief they need, 493 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 9: and to bring that spending down, get closer to budget 494 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 9: neutral and balancing the budget. But we can't keep doing it. 495 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 9: If we lose the majority, and we've got to get 496 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 9: this done. Then we can come back next year. We 497 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 9: could do even more, and then we got to win 498 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 9: and keep coming back. We need a full four year 499 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 9: term and we need everyone rowing in the same direction. 500 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good advice. 501 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, James, Before we let you go on what you 502 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 2: were just talking about, there's another huge benefit and an 503 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 2: issue hanging over the head of Republicans, and that's the 504 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 2: fact that they have only sent five bills to President Trump's. 505 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 7: Desk to be signed. 506 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 2: If Republicans keep the majority next year, that gives President 507 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 2: Trump effectively two more years to govern without being hamstrung 508 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 2: by a Democrat majority in the House. How important is 509 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 2: that to President Trump? And is that a conversation happening 510 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill? You know, hey, guys, we have to 511 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: get this done or we're going to lose even more support. 512 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 7: From our base. 513 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 9: Look, I think that the American people voted for a 514 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 9: specific agenda. I think voters vote on policy and the 515 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 9: person leading the policy. President Trump campaigned on a specific 516 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 9: set of policies and right now he is trying to 517 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 9: enact those. So much of what he campaigned on is 518 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 9: frankly rolled up in this one big reconciliation bill. It 519 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 9: is a huge domestic agenda bill, and that's why we 520 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 9: call it the Big Beautiful Bill Act because it is 521 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 9: big and it is beautiful. But it is important that 522 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 9: we deliver those promises because that is what people voted for, 523 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 9: that's what people want to see done. And I do 524 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 9: believe it will be up to the Republicans on Capitol Hill. 525 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 9: It'll be up to them what the politics are ultimately. 526 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 9: But I think the politics are very simple. If you 527 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 9: give people what was campaigned on, they reward you at 528 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 9: the ballot box. If you say one thing on the 529 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 9: Campan troll and do another when you're in office, I 530 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 9: think they punish you at the ballot box. So it's 531 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 9: not really that complicated. 532 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the President said it so brilliantly on 533 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: Election nine during his victory speech. This has made means promises. Captain. 534 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: You guys are delivering your parts. Congress's turn to deliver 535 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: their part. Jans, What a great honor to have you 536 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: on the showte I know how busy.

We'll 541 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:23,719 Speaker 1: have more just like that right after these messages. Hey, America, 542 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: for decades, you've worked hard, paid your taxes instood by 543 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: the values that built this great nation. Honesty, accountability and 544 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: of course faith. But now you're seeing a government that's 545 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: blowd reckless, and in many cases, completely unaccountable. The good news, 546 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: you're not imagining it, and you're not alone. President Trump 547 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: is back in the White House, taking on unfair trade practices, 548 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: fighting waste and fraud, and boldly reaffirming our Christian foundations. 549 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: But even the strongest leaders need support from the people. 550 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: That's why I recommend AMAC, the Conservative Alternative for Americans 551 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: fifty and over who still believe in truth, transparency, and 552 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: the Constitution.

Just a couple hours ago, President 559 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: Trump met with the Freedom Caucus, the budget deficit hawks 560 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: in the Republican Party. They're concerned that some concessions made 561 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: to blue state Republicans drove up the cost of the bill. Again, 562 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: they want to try to get some more savings. In 563 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: a few seconds, we're going to be joined by a 564 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: member of the Freedom Caucus, Congressman Indyogo's he's going to 565 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: join us. He's just wrapping up some business in Congress. Amanda. 566 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: I want to talk for a second about some of 567 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 1: the things that James Blair talked about. He has very 568 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: clear messaging that Republicans can't squander this once in a 569 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: general opportunity to pass the bill. But he also said 570 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: something that I think is lost in the conversation. Just 571 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: because we bounced this bill doesn't mean we're not going 572 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: to keep trying to cut spending. And I think you 573 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: heard that from Congress fine as well. There are multiple 574 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: bites that shrinking the size of the government that are going 575 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: to occur in the summer of the fall, the budget process, 576 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: the thirteen Appropriations Bill, which they've never done, but maybe 577 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: this year they will. What are you hearing from your side? 578 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 1: The White House says plans beyond this right. 579 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, let me tell you what I'm hearing is 580 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 2: that they better make this happen, and they better make 581 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: the spending cuts stick, and they better even expand them, 582 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 2: because the American people, the Republican base It may not 583 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 2: be that they will show up and vote for a Democrat, 584 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: but they may just not show up next November unless 585 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 2: they start seeing some successes. 586 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 7: And this will be a huge bit. This will be 587 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 7: a huge win. 588 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: The simplest math in elections. The promises made, promises delivered. 589 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 7: Very transactional. 590 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: Voters are going to do that. We're lucky to be 591 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: joined right now. I understanding we have Congressman India was 592 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: right now from the great state of Tennessee. Hello, Sarah, 593 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: good to have you on. Absolutely, thank you for having me. 594 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: We love having you on here in the middle of 595 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: so much of the big stuff going on in history. 596 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: What can you tell us transpired if you have any 597 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: readoubt of what happened between President Trump and the Freedom 598 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: Caucus members at the three o'clock meeting today. Yeah, positive progress. 599 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: You know, we're not there yet. 600 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 10: I mean, if the vote was held right now, the 601 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 10: votes aren't there. I think part of the issue or 602 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 10: the sticking point is medicaid, you know roughly. You know, 603 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 10: for example, you have fifteen million people on Medicaid that 604 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 10: are able body, meaning that they can have a job, 605 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 10: and they have no income, they're not working. 606 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: And I think. 607 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 10: What that means is that you and I pay for that, 608 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 10: and the America people wants. 609 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: Everybody to pay their fair share. 610 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 10: And one of the things the President talked about was 611 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 10: the waste, the fraud, and the abuse. And what we've 612 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 10: seen is states like California, like New York loving their 613 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 10: roles with these able bodied individuals who aren't working. And 614 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,239 Speaker 10: quite frankly, they get reimbursed at a higher rate than 615 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 10: a single pregnant mom, which is absolutely ridiculous. But by 616 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 10: doing that, you and the rest of the state. And 617 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 10: so the medicaid reimbursement for the state of California is 618 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 10: larger than the entire budget of Florida, and so there's 619 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 10: some things in there that are would be some significant 620 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 10: savings and quite frankly, it gets people back to work 621 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 10: doing again, paying their fair share, if you. 622 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: Will, but again positive progress. 623 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 10: The tax cuts don't expire to the end of the year, 624 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 10: so we do have a little bit of time, you know. 625 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 10: Speaker Johnson put the deadline there of Memorial Day. 626 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: You know, again, if the vote was held right now, 627 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: they don't have the votes. 628 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 10: But we'll see over the next few hours as we 629 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 10: work on this, you know, work to make it better. 630 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 10: John Quincy Adams loved the House because this is where 631 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 10: you argue and debate, and that's what the Freedom Caucus 632 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 10: is doing, is trying to make this bill better. 633 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 634 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 2: Well, and that able bodied work requirement is a seventy 635 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 2: thirty eighty twenty issue American. 636 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 7: Buy and large support that. 637 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 5: That's right. 638 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 2: You know, we've been focusing so much on the horse 639 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 2: trading on the Republican side. I'm curious, is there any 640 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 2: chance in China that any Democrats might support this that 641 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 2: they are in a swing district. 642 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 10: I would probably I would fall out of my chair 643 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 10: if that happened. 644 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Maybe we get surprised with that. 645 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 10: But look, you know, because it's Trump's plan, it's the 646 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 10: Republican agenda. You know, I can't imagine any of them 647 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 10: will support it. But again, let's make it better. Most 648 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 10: of the savings that's being talked about don't happen until 649 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 10: the back half of the bill, So those first five 650 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 10: years you see a lot of deficit spending. The bond 651 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 10: market reacted today to the fact that we. 652 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: Continue to have deficit spending. So this bill needs some work. 653 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 10: It's big, it's not quite beautiful yet, but we continue 654 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 10: to work on it. Obviously, I'm a big fan, I'm 655 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 10: a supporter of President Trump. We want to get this done. 656 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 10: But also, like you said earlier in this segment, promises 657 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 10: were made to the American people to start cutting, to 658 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 10: hold people accountable, to get rid of the abuse, the waste, 659 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 10: and the fraud. 660 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: And that's what we're trying to do. When you look out, 661 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: are there one or two concrete ideas that you like 662 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: and say, boy, that would seal the deal for me, 663 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: that would seal the deal for a lot of my 664 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: good colleagues and the Freedom Caucus, which are truly the 665 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: legitimate dead fighter. They have been on the front lines 666 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: of this for the longest time. 667 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 5: Yeah. 668 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 10: So, I mean there's two things for me in particular, 669 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 10: and I think most of the Freedom Caucus would agree 670 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 10: with me. I can't speak for them obviously, But is 671 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 10: moving up the work requirements or initially they didn't kick 672 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 10: in till twenty twenty nine, that's you know, several years 673 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 10: from now President Trump wouldn't even be in office, So 674 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 10: moving those up. 675 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: To the near term the end of next year. 676 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 10: And then also when you look at the Medicaid reimbursement, 677 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 10: So again, if a state spent the dollar, they're getting 678 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 10: a dollar thirty three for a pregnant mom. 679 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: But if someone's an illegal or able. 680 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 10: Body in not working states like California, if they spend 681 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 10: a dollar, they're getting nine dollars. And so again they're 682 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 10: incentivized to add these people to the roles. That's a 683 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 10: sevenfold multiplier. States like Tennessee, Florida, Wisconsin that did not 684 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 10: expend their medicaid populations. 685 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: That money isn't coming to them. 686 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 10: And quite frankly, if we don't tweak that in some fashion, 687 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 10: are you actually incentivizing states to expand medicaid, which again, 688 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 10: that eats up a lot of your savings that are 689 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 10: being talked about. If suddenly ten states expand medicaid populations, 690 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 10: it's amazing, Sir. 691 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 7: I certainly hear you that there's a lot of work 692 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 7: to be done. 693 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 2: But there is a section of this bill that seems 694 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 2: like it is pretty darn great, and that that's the 695 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 2: border and immigration provisions allowing for a million deportations a 696 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 2: year finishes, the border wall, allows for ten thousand new 697 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 2: ice personnel, five thousand new customs officers, three thousand new 698 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: border patrol agents. It seems to me that if the 699 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 2: next president is a Democrat. This makes it so much 700 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 2: harder for a new president on the other side of 701 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 2: the aisle to reopen the border like Joe Biden did, 702 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 2: doesn't it. 703 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 5: Oh? 704 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely? 705 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 10: And again there is a lot of great stuff in 706 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 10: this bill, but there's some things in there that need 707 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 10: to be repaired. But again, the House Freedom Caucus we 708 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 10: proposed a two bill solution where you could address things 709 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 10: like the border, like the tax cuts, and those things 710 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 10: signal to the markets that we're getting serious about again immigration, 711 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 10: illegal immigration, but also making the tax cuts permanent. But 712 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 10: obviously the bigger bill is the more complicated it becomes. 713 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 10: It's not going to be perfect, but that's what we're 714 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 10: working on. But like you said, you know, fixing the border. 715 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 10: I was just in an El Salvador went to the 716 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 10: present a prison where they're sending illegals. The president down 717 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 10: there is doing a fantastic job and we appreciate him 718 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 10: working with us and taking illegal immigrants, and quite frankly, 719 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 10: it's some of the worst that society has to offer. 720 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean, we talked to one. 721 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 10: MS thirteen gang member down there who would kill fifty people. 722 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 10: He joined the Games when he was thirteen here in America, 723 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 10: and over the course of his career has murdered fifty people. 724 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this is who's being deported. This is who's 725 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: being targeted. Quite frankly, if you're here illegally, you got 726 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, that's a mind numbering fact. One guy, Yes, 727 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: for sure, fifty fifty guys. I have fifteen people. It's amazing. 728 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: So one last quick question. Has it's been floating around 729 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: last couple of days. It kind of has a genesis 730 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: on the show where some of the discussion began. There's 731 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: a proposal floating around that says it could be added 732 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: into this language of the bill as it gets improved. 733 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: That says, if a president can deliver an appropriation cheaper 734 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: because he got better contracting, better management, he can send 735 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: the money right back to the Treasury, doesn't have to 736 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: go through recis vision or impoundment. Your thoughts on a 737 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: common sense idea, if we got a good president and 738 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: don't give share good deals, of course you should be 739 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 1: able to send the money back to the treasury. 740 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, so as we go forward and we 741 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 10: looking for additional savings, the decision process, again, if you 742 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 10: can get to get a better deal art of the deal. 743 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 10: Why not send that money back to the treasury. So 744 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 10: we think that's going to help us cut our budget 745 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 10: and again cut us cut partially cut our way out 746 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 10: of this debt problem. 747 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: We have. 748 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 10: Part of it too, is we've got to grow the economy. 749 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 10: There's not enough discretionary spending to cut to quote unquote 750 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 10: fix this ballooning debt. So we're going to have to grow, grow, 751 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 10: and grow some more. But we've got to cut everywhere 752 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 10: we can. And again let's start with the waste, spraul 753 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 10: and abuse. And again, a President Trump can get a 754 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,760 Speaker 10: better deal on a hammer or a screwdriver or whatever, 755 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 10: an airplane, then let's send that money back to treasury 756 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 10: for the American people. 757 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a win win for everyone. Congressman. Always great 758 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: to have you on the show.

He's our colleague over 776 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 2: here on Real America's Voice, the host of Sinchfield Tonight, 777 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 2: which airs right after our show.

I mean, we're 793 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 6: raising the debt ceiling to a level that is unheard of. 794 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 6: You talk about five trillion dollars. You just heard Andy 795 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 6: Ogle's talk about the Medicaid expenditures, California getting nine dollars 796 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 6: for every one they spend, in other states like Tennessee 797 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 6: getting stuck with not nearly as much money. That's not 798 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 6: good work requirements. It's interesting the salt tax. I'm not 799 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 6: really all that against it. I understand you want to 800 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 6: punish Democrat states, Blue states that have real high tax structures. 801 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 6: But I'm a believer that I fight for lower taxes 802 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 6: all the time, and so if I can can convince 803 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 6: someone in California or New York, look what Republicans did 804 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 6: for you in Washington with lower what you could pay 805 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,720 Speaker 6: in the income taxes because we gave you a bigger 806 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 6: deduction that was there at one point. 807 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 5: Maybe we sway them away from Gavinus. 808 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 6: I'm not going to argue for more taxes and I think, 809 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 6: if you pay local taxes, why shouldn't I be able 810 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 6: to duck that to pay another government. So I just 811 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 6: don't like giving governments money, Democrats Republicans. I'll fight for everybody, 812 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 6: even if Democrats disagree with me on what I think 813 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 6: is right. 814 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 5: So I don't want. 815 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 6: People to go after these men and women that are 816 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 6: standing up to try to cut spending. But I'll put 817 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 6: it the most simple way possible. If I was a 818 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 6: Freedom Caucus member, I would take this right. 819 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,240 Speaker 5: Down to the wire. 820 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 6: I would be threatening no vote, threatening no vote, But 821 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,919 Speaker 6: in the end, I know the positives far out weigh 822 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 6: of the negatives. 823 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 5: We've got to. 824 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 6: Get through these Trump tax cuts, and I would be 825 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 6: a yes vote at the end, no matter what, for 826 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 6: two reasons. Quite frankly, because President Trump wants it. And 827 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 6: I'll be honest, I've never seen a president that I 828 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 6: would give, you know everything too. I mean, this guy 829 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 6: really pulls some strings. Is because I trust him so much. 830 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 6: I've never seen the power of somebody like this to 831 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 6: sway people. Maybe it's because he can destroy people with 832 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 6: a couple spoken sentences. But in the end, I give 833 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 6: President Trump the leeway, the runway, give him what he wants. 834 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 6: Let him put this economy on track to win, and 835 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 6: I'd be a yes vote in the end, but it 836 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 6: wouldn't stop me from fighting for the things I believe in, 837 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 6: cutting spending and not raising the debt ceiling. 838 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really important. You've talked about President Trump and 839 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: his effort, and it's really quite remarkable. I mean, Joe 840 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: Biden barely ever talked to Congress directly. Here, you got 841 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: two or three meetings over a course of a day 842 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 1: or two. He's really invested and he's right alongside them. 843 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 1: He keeps talking with him. In the first administration, I 844 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,879 Speaker 1: don't think he knew how to deal with Congress. Cry 845 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: was like an unusual beast to him. He's really learned 846 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: the art of how to negotiate with him and to 847 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: bring the different factions together like a CEO does in divisions. 848 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: Watching him mature and seeing him being able to use 849 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,439 Speaker 1: the art of the deal on his own party, it's 850 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: really something that wants it. It's unlike any president I've 851 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: seen in my lifetime. 852 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 6: No, it's amazing, John, and I think this is a 853 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 6: tribute to the MAGA movement in general. So the power 854 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,959 Speaker 6: of the MAGA movement, and President Trump is the leader. Look, 855 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 6: I was a member of the Tea Party movement. I 856 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 6: ran for Congress back in twenty eleven into twelve, when 857 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 6: the Tea Party was at its height. There was no 858 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 6: voter that would support any idea of raising the debt sealing, 859 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 6: much less. 860 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 5: Five trillion dollars. 861 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,720 Speaker 6: Yet if President Trump says he wants it, he gives 862 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,319 Speaker 6: cover to every fiscal conservative to go back home and 863 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 6: tell his voters, I gave President Trump what he wanted, 864 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,479 Speaker 6: what do you want me to do? And every voter 865 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 6: at home would say, give President Trump what he wants, 866 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 6: and they give him the leeway to vote on things 867 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 6: like this. So it's really a tribute to the movement 868 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 6: that he created and the power of it. 869 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 2: Grant, I want you to put your analyst hat on, 870 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 2: because we've seen a number of world leaders meet with 871 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 2: President Trump in the Oval Office, and we've seen it 872 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 2: go one of two ways. 873 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 7: You've got the camp where it's. 874 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,240 Speaker 2: Boukeley and Javier Malay, even Mark Karney to some degree, 875 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 2: lovely warm reception, great conversations, constructive conversations, and then you 876 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 2: have the Zelenski's and then earlier today to some degree, 877 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 2: the South African leader, were you. 878 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 7: Know, a little bit of pushback on some of these issues. 879 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 7: What's the secret sauce for a world leader? 880 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 2: I saw someone earlier say that going to the Oval 881 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 2: offices like going to the Principal's office for world leaders, 882 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:30,280 Speaker 2: which I think. 883 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 7: Is an out description. 884 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,440 Speaker 2: What is the what's the common denominator between these folks 885 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,879 Speaker 2: who go to the Oval office and it does turn 886 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 2: out to be a. 887 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 7: Really great meeting. 888 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,240 Speaker 6: Well, I think the people that have a really great 889 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 6: meeting either two things happen. Either they're sincere about freedom. 890 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 6: You mentioned Malay and others that really believe in the 891 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 6: Maga movement are trying to bring that to their countries. 892 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 6: Those people are going to be very successful with President Trump. 893 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 6: The other way to do this, quite frankly, is you 894 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 6: got to down and kiss the ring. America is the 895 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 6: greatest nation in the world. These countries need us, whether 896 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 6: they want to admit it or not. 897 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 5: They need us, They. 898 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 6: Need President Trump, They need the safety and security that 899 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 6: we bring. 900 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 5: They need our economy. 901 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 6: So you know what, you better be nice to us 902 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 6: and knock off the craziness. You know, I've never been 903 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 6: a big fan of Zlenski. I don't think and I'm 904 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 6: not a big fan of Putin either, But but I'm 905 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,720 Speaker 6: not a big fan of Zelenski and how he's handled 906 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 6: this and some of his motivations. And I'm certainly not 907 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 6: a big fan of what's going on in South Africa. 908 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 6: So you have two of those guys come in and 909 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 6: I don't know, you know, Zelenski's got these ego problems. 910 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 6: You can't bring ego into the oval office of President Trump. 911 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 6: It's just not going to work. It's like oil and water. 912 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:48,919 Speaker 6: So either believe in freedom and be kind or kiss 913 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 6: the ring and give President Trump lots of compliments. 914 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: You're not whether if you do those things you should 915 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: get the other foreign presidents that that was good advice. 916 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: What do you got played on the show to I 917 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: tune in every night after we get off here. I 918 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,240 Speaker 1: just love it. What's up tonight? 919 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,280 Speaker 5: Well, you're kind to say that, John. 920 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 6: We're going to talk a lot about this big bill, 921 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 6: a lot of things that you've been talking about here. 922 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,919 Speaker 6: And then you know these venezuela and hostages being held, 923 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 6: American hostages. We've been covering this over the last three weeks. 924 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 6: Finally we have one release. We're going to talk a 925 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 6: little bit more about that. We've got another family coming 926 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 6: on on Friday. I've really taken it to heart to 927 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:35,319 Speaker 6: get these families home from Venezuela, American families, so that 928 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 6: will continue to fight. 929 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 1: For You're not gonna let anyone forget their names and flight. 930 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: That's an incredible work as a journalis's. 931 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 7: Great work, Absolutely, Grand Stinchfield. This was a lot of fun. 932 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 7: We're gonna have to do this more often. 933 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to be. 934 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 5: Like this more often anytime you want, guys. 935 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 7: Thanks, all right, all. 936 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 2: Right, everybody, you can check out that guy in about 937 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 2: eleven minutes when our show in. That's because he follows 938 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 2: us on our programming calendar. He's Grant Stinchfield. And then 939 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 2: right now we're going to go to commercial break. We've 940 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 2: got a few more final thoughts. 941 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 5: Before we get out. 942 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 7: Welcome back, everybody. Just a few topics to hit before 943 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 7: we go. 944 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 2: We were talking over the break about Jake Tapper and 945 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 2: his belligerent denial that he covered up anything, and as 946 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 2: it turns out, the American people, not only do they 947 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 2: get the sense that there was a cover up, but 948 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 2: they are also. 949 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 7: Very concerned about it. 950 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 2: In fact, in Erasmus and poll I believe it was 951 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 2: seventy two percent of respondents said that it was a 952 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,919 Speaker 2: very serious issue if there were aids and folks. 953 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 1: Serious scandal. Yeah, that's what they're saying. Yeah, listen, Jake 954 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 1: Tapper is doing a wonderful book to revise history of 955 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: his own role in this. If you were that bad 956 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: a journalist that you couldn't tell that the president had 957 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 1: mental decline. And by the way, you could be a 958 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: mentalcline and still be making a lot of the calls 959 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 1: even though you might not be available some time to 960 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 1: make the calls. So Joe Biden still owns all the 961 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 1: decisions of his White House, which I've always said he 962 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 1: should own it. He doesn't get a past this because 963 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 1: he was meant to the client. But you can. But 964 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,239 Speaker 1: it's the same network and the same anchor and the 965 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: same people that try to tell us that the laptop 966 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:13,799 Speaker 1: wasn't true. And you know, we can just go through 967 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 1: look at all the PP interview, all the propaganda he 968 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 1: perpetrated on the American people, and writing a book giving 969 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: conservatives a little of what they want right now, I 970 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: think it's kind of doing a disservice to journalism. He'd 971 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: be much better to say, you know what, I should 972 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: have been a better journalist and called it out sooner, 973 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,280 Speaker 1: and I'll do a better job going forward. I'd admire 974 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: that more than his. I don't remember cutting people off 975 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,879 Speaker 1: and yeah, you know we got hoodwink you to get 976 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 1: in linked nothing bought into it. 977 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I see two scenarios here with Jake Tapper. 978 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 2: One of them if you've ever seen Anchorman, remember scenes 979 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 2: where Ron Burgundy would just mindlessly read the teleprompter. It's 980 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 2: either that Jake Tapper mindlessly reads the teleprompter, and the 981 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,280 Speaker 2: teleprompter is what told him to say to basically guilt 982 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 2: Americans into thinking that there were so something wrong with 983 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,800 Speaker 2: them for thinking that something was wrong with Joe Biden 984 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 2: telling people that you know, your shame on you for 985 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 2: making fun of us stutter. It's either that or he 986 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 2: is absolutely lying to his teeth. And you know there's 987 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 2: a reputation there. His reputation precedes him, is what I'll say. 988 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, listen, the CNN's reputation precedes it precedes it. 989 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: And I think we're I think we're in a point 990 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: now where most Americans just don't take these guys seriously. 991 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 1: These people in the chair, whether they're women or men. 992 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 1: In these legacy media, they don't trust the anchors anymore 993 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 1: because they've been misled too many times. And I'm honored 994 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: to be on a network where we've been really working 995 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: hard to give you the truth, sometimes painfully so because 996 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,720 Speaker 1: people censor us, so they cut off our advertising because 997 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 1: we told you the truth. But I'd rather tell you 998 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,799 Speaker 1: the truth and be poor than lying and have a 999 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: few extra bucks. 1000 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 7: So absolutely, all right. 1001 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,240 Speaker 2: So Vice President jd Vance favored to win the GOP 1002 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,839 Speaker 2: presidential nomination in twenty twenty eight, but he did say 1003 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 2: if he does end up running, I'm not entitled to it. 1004 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,319 Speaker 2: And that's what people love about jd Vance. It is 1005 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 2: that home town humility. 1006 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 7: It's just great. 1007 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's going to work for it, and that's what 1008 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 1: the meritocracy of an election is, or the meritocracy of America. Listen. 1009 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: Jd Vance has been an incredible asset to the president. 1010 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 1: Whether he's presidential material, it's way too early. He's got 1011 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 1: three years of work to do for the president. But 1012 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 1: he is so important in helping the President navigate Congress. 1013 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 1: I think he'll be the guy that helps deliver the 1014 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,759 Speaker 1: India Trade deal, which will be the precursor to a 1015 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,799 Speaker 1: China trade deal. He's a really important player, and a 1016 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: lot of vice presidents are window dressing. Kamala Harris was 1017 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 1: you could tell it there wasn't a whole lot of 1018 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:37,919 Speaker 1: love between him or President and Missus Biden. But jd. 1019 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,840 Speaker 1: Vance is at the table every day with the president. 1020 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty darn unique. 1021 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, President Trump is on a stage 1022 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 2: all by himself. He typically doesn't even have to share 1023 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 2: the stage with anyone. But there is a point in 1024 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 2: a second term for a president where they start actively 1025 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 2: and demonstrably lifting their vice president and putting him out 1026 00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:58,320 Speaker 2: in the public. 1027 00:46:58,360 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 7: When do you think that happens for. 1028 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,800 Speaker 1: Jad I know it's going to happen with Donald Trump. 1029 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 1: I think Donald Trump doesn't play to the conventional rules 1030 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 1: of politics, and I think he would like to see 1031 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 1: who's the strongest guy. Yeah, that's right, And I think 1032 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,919 Speaker 1: he said that already, which is you know, he isn't 1033 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 1: a lock on it. I like Marco a lot too. 1034 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 1: I think he'll let the blood sport of politics because 1035 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: he knows it forges a better candidate. People who get annoyed. 1036 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,759 Speaker 1: It turned out to be really bad candidates, jess As 1037 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris working for it is the best way, and 1038 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: it's the way our founding fathers intended to work. And 1039 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: I think Donald Trump's not going to put his thumb 1040 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:31,760 Speaker 1: in the scale. 1041 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 7: I love it, all right. 1042 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 2: So, speaking of Marco Rubeu, Secretary of State, among like 1043 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 2: half a dozen other jobs. Yeah, I told you earlier 1044 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 2: I would give him. If there were governmental badges, I 1045 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 2: would give him the badge for most improved. It's not 1046 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 2: that he wasn't great before. It's just that there were 1047 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 2: a lot of there were a lot of folks who 1048 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 2: were skeptical about how much he subscribed to President Trump's 1049 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 2: anti war America First agenda. 1050 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,319 Speaker 7: But he is doing a bang up job. 1051 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 1: He is. He knows his role, and he's a very 1052 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: smart man. He's a very communicator, and he's applied all 1053 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 1: of that. And I just want to remind people this. 1054 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 1: It was in the Justin News, but I don't think 1055 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 1: a lot of media are talking about it. He's cut 1056 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 1: the size of the State Department in half. Find me 1057 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 1: any other federal agency that's done that. And by the way, 1058 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 1: in explaining it to Congress, he got praise, not derisional 1059 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,800 Speaker 1: the Democrats to write him, but he was able to 1060 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 1: punch them back and make it hurt. I mean, his 1061 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,839 Speaker 1: comebacks were really powerful. But what other person has come 1062 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: in in less than five months and figured out how 1063 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,439 Speaker 1: to shrink a government by half and keep it as 1064 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 1: he said this, he said, we've been irrelevant because we 1065 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 1: don't do the things the state departments supposed to do. 1066 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,000 Speaker 1: That was a really powerful moment. Yeah, I think he 1067 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 1: has been the one of the early MVPs the of 1068 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,279 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Susie Wiles clearly not out in front 1069 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 1: and center like Rubio, but keeps the ship running. Leez 1070 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,760 Speaker 1: Eldon with the regulatory busting. Those are three big MVPs 1071 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,920 Speaker 1: of this early presidency. Obviously Donald Trump top of the 1072 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:55,600 Speaker 1: food chain on that. 1073 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1074 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 2: So, as many of you know, I have started writing 1075 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 2: over at us the News, flexing some new muscles, are 1076 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 2: trying trying to build some new muscles. And a lot 1077 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 2: of times you give me assignments that I'm so passionate about, 1078 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 2: and they are absolutely necessary and important for people to read. 1079 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 7: But the one that I have prepared that. 1080 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 2: I think we're going to end up putting out on Friday, 1081 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:14,400 Speaker 2: Actually you weren't on the morning call, so you may 1082 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 2: not even know. I'm just going to highlight some of 1083 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 2: these health initiatives that have happened over the last twenty 1084 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 2: years or so, that it's been led by Democrats and 1085 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 2: its all spurned from the Senate Appropriations Committee hearing yesterday 1086 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,279 Speaker 2: where Washington Senator Patty Murray laid into RFK Junior, and 1087 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,640 Speaker 2: he has said something to the effect of, you have 1088 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,359 Speaker 2: been in office for thirty two years and Americans are 1089 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 2: sicker now than they've ever been. So I'm going to 1090 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 2: highlight why they're sicker and who's responsible. 1091 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,839 Speaker 1: And tomorrow I think we're going to have a center 1092 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 1: around Johnson. Hopefully. What a bomb shall he drop today? 1093 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,439 Speaker 1: What an important bease he's been the bulldog my story. 1094 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,239 Speaker 2: We like it all right, everybody, Thank you so much 1095 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 2: for joining us tonight, and a special thanks to Grant 1096 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 2: Cinchfield for dipping into work early.
