More importantly, so she'll talk to us about 25 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: the New York Post reporting on the would be Trump 26 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: assassin who almost plunged this country into the worst situation 27 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: it would have seen since the Civil War. Missed by 28 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: an inch, a literal inch. I know some of your 29 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: say it was even less than an inch, but we 30 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: can say an inch. How is it that not everything 31 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: about this guy's online life was known? It seems unfathomable. 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: We'll talk to Miranda about that. We've also got Eric Trump, 33 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: son of one of these sons of the president, in 34 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: the third hour. We're talking about the economy, trade deals, 35 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: and much more. But I know that there's going to 36 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: be quite a bit of focus on this today, so yes, 37 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: I will certainly speak about what is being called the 38 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: Epstein Files Transparency Act that is going to be voted 39 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: on in the third hour of the show today. So 40 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: I believe I'll be here live with you on the 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: air as we find out where that's going. I think 42 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: the vote is going to be successful and there will 43 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: be more documents released relating to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. 44 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: To be clear, Donald Trump has said in recent days, 45 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: including yesterday, that fine, and we want. 46 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: To release more, release whatever, release, whatever you got. 47 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: This is cut for and Trump, I think, has just 48 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: recognized the only way to stop having to talk about 49 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: this is to give whatever transparency anyone thinks they need. 50 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 2: Fine, no problem there, play four. 51 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 3: It's just a Russia, Russia, Russia hopes as it pertains 52 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 3: of the Republicans. Now, I believe that many of the 53 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 3: people that some of the people that we mentioned are 54 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 3: being looked at very seriously for their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein, 55 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: But they were with them all the time. I wasn't 56 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: at all, and we'll see what happens. What I just 57 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 3: don't want Epstein to do is detract from the great 58 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 3: success of the Republican Party, including the fact that the 59 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 3: Democrats are totally blamed for the shutdown. You know, they 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 3: crossed our country hundreds of billions of those with that 61 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 3: had a lot of inconvenience. 62 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: So very important. At first of all, Trump has obviously 63 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: got a cold. Is the voice little raspy there? Or 64 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: maybe he was just speaking too much? I know that 65 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: can happen in the radio world, but it's funny. So 66 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: how many Trump is going to be eighty soon. I 67 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: know he's like seventy eight. I think'd be seventy nine maybe, 68 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: But how many times have you heard him being sick 69 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: in the time he's been president. It's very very rare. 70 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: The guy is a dynamo. Everybody around him recognize. I 71 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: just marvel at the amount of energy and focus and 72 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: drive that he has at his age. 73 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: It is true. 74 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: Whatever one thinks of Trump's policies, I obviously think they're 75 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: pretty awesome. It's incredible to be his age and to 76 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: have that level of energy and all the rest. But 77 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: what Trump said there, I think this is very important. 78 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: And notice he said, as it pertains to Republicans, the 79 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein thing is a hoax. And this is what 80 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: I think some people have missed and gotten a little 81 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: upset about, even some Trump supporters. Obviously, there's no the 82 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein situation. Trump doesn't think is a hoax. 83 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: He was a. 84 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: Sex criminal, a human trafficker, you know, an exploiter of 85 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: underage women. I mean, all these terrible things. But the 86 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: Democrats are trying to create a story and to use 87 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: the story for pure distraction purposes of Well, this it's 88 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: really about it's really about Trump or any Republican. 89 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 2: Now I just saw you. 90 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: You had you know Larry Summers, who was the former 91 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: Treasury secretary under Clinton? 92 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: Right? Or is it Obama? 93 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: I can't rumber now it's been a while, but his 94 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: former Treasury secretary. I think he's stepping back after some 95 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: of these emails have come out. There's nothing, there's nothing 96 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: that is alleged that is criminal, but there are certainly 97 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: is stuff that looks bad for him. I think you 98 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: may see some more of that. What I think Trump 99 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: wants everyone to be very clear on is look at 100 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: the people who have continuous and deep associations with Epstein, 101 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: not who you know bumped into him at party. He 102 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: went to a lot of parties, a lot of parties 103 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: in Palm Beach's, a lot of parties in New York 104 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: and other places where he was gonna rub elbows. The 105 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,119 Speaker 1: guy had hundreds of millions of dollars. He was able 106 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 1: to get tremendous access to the absolute elite in our society. 107 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: So that was happening. We all know that. That's a 108 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: matter of public record. Oh no, wonders was confusing for me. 109 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 1: Larry Summers served under both Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama's administrations. 110 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: He was what was he? He was Secretary of the Treasury. Yup? 111 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: Under Clinton, I was right, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, 112 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: and unders at whatever. 113 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: Point is he's a big, big. 114 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: Guy in Democrat politics under Democrat administrations. Look at the 115 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: other figures who have gotten at least big pr damage. 116 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of you are saying, well, 117 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: that's not you know that where we're looking for criminality, 118 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: the evidence of smoking government evidence of criminality, we don't 119 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: have that yet. We had it, I think you would see, 120 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: you would see charges, but at least I haven't seen it. 121 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 2: We have to be very careful here too. 122 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: You know, people they're trying to smear Trump by association, 123 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: there are other people they want to smear by association too, 124 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: And this is the kind of stuff that could really, 125 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: in some cases unfairly destroy someone's reputation. So you got 126 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: to be sure. You got to be sure on this stuff, right. 127 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: This isn't oh, did somebody cheat a little bit. 128 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: On their taxes. This is this goes to the core. 129 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: And the reputations and the freedom, meaning they could go 130 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: to prison of individuals. So that's I think not going 131 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 1: to be addressed by anything that are in this release. 132 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: I could be wrong. If I'm wrong, I'll say so. 133 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: I obviously haven't seen all the files. I don't know, 134 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: but Trump has been making the point if there was 135 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: more in the files specifically about Trump, do you think 136 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: they'd hide it until now? That's a crazy belief, right 137 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,239 Speaker 1: that the Democrats would have had full control, full ability 138 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: to go through this. They don't want to release it 139 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: all as it pertains to actual transparency, because they'd much 140 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,119 Speaker 1: rather have little bits and pieces to try to insinuate 141 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump did something wrong. And I have a 142 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: firm belief and all the evidence supports what I've said, 143 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: and all of the the trajectory of the revelations around epstein'support. 144 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: That Donald Trump did nothing wrong. 145 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: Okay, in fact, you could argue Trump is the good 146 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: guy because he kicked Epstein out of his club for 147 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: being a creep? 148 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 2: Did anybody else do it? 149 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 4: You know? 150 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: Was there anybody else who was stepping up and saying, 151 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: this guy's a you know? And that was before the 152 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: big criminal stuff against him. So that's where I think 153 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: this is. Here is Trump saying, just just to hammer 154 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: this home here, this has cut five He's just saying, 155 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: look the Democrat, Epstein's top connections, Epstein's close associates. I'm 156 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: not saying anyone did anything specifically, or I'm not naming 157 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: any individual with criminality because we don't have proof of that. 158 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: You need proof of these things. 159 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: But the people who were gross and around him a lot, 160 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: they were Democrats. 161 00:08:59,480 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: Play five. 162 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 3: We have nothing to do with Fstein. The Democrats too. 163 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 3: All of his friends were Democrats. You look at this reduff, 164 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 3: and you look at Larry Summers built Lennon, they went 165 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: to his island all the time, and many of this 166 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 3: all Democrats. All I want is I want for people 167 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 3: to recognize a great job that I've done on pricing, 168 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 3: on affordability, because we brought prices way down, but they 169 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 3: go way lower on the energy. On ending eight wars 170 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 3: and another one coming pretty soon. I believe we've done 171 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 3: a great job, and I hate to see that deflect 172 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 3: from the great job we've done. 173 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: I think that's all spot on. I think that's exactly 174 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: where the situation is right now. And to be clear, 175 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 1: Trump has said release it all, fine, release it all, 176 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: whatever it is. He's not opposing the release. He's like, fine, 177 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: release it all because he also knows, even if he 178 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: doesn't specifically know what's in those spots, he knows what 179 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: he did and didn't do. He knows he didn't do 180 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: anything wrong. Okay, and beyond that, he also knows that 181 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: his enemies who manufactured crimes against him manufactured them. They 182 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: would have, if they had anything, deployed this to destroy him, 183 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: even if there was a forget about a smoking gun, 184 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: if there was a sentilla of evidence that Trump was. 185 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 2: Even in the immediate vicinity. 186 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: Of any kind of you know, criminal conspiracy with regard 187 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: to Epstein, they would. 188 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 2: Have been running with that NonStop. They don't have it. 189 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: They don't have it, so fine, we'll get to this point. 190 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: I do think it has been an exercise in media 191 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: propaganda by focus, as in how much they focus on 192 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: something itself is the propaganda tool. They focus so much 193 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: they try to connect to Donald Trump, and they did 194 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: before as well. Look at all all the top associates 195 00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: of Epstein again associates slash friends. Not imputing criminality to anybody, 196 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: because we don't have evidence against these individuals, right, Trump 197 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: isn't saying that they were criminal. He's just saying they 198 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: were gross and they were around him gross as in, 199 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: they should have known that this guy was sleazy and 200 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: they spent too much time alone with him. I know 201 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: a lot of you you know, there's what we can 202 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: there's what you know, remember Denzel Washington and training Day. 203 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: There's what you know, and there's what you can prove. 204 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: We have to operate in the realm of what we 205 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: can prove if we're going to make a specific accusation 206 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: against an individual that would destroy them. Notice that's not 207 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: what Trump is doing. He's saying, listen to the names 208 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: of these individuals. We know they hung out with him 209 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: a lot. They're all Democrats, they're all big Democrat donors. 210 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: They're all very left wing in their politics, or generally 211 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: left wing in their politics. Certainly they're Democrats, and there's 212 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: no focus on that whatsoever. Bill Clinton spent a lot 213 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: of time with this guy on the planes, a lot 214 00:11:58,520 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: of time. 215 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: We know that. Okay, that's a fact. That's it, That's 216 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: an understood fact. 217 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: Larry Summers was asking this guy for advice on I believe, 218 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: like how he could step stepping out on his wife 219 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: with a a a Asian or Chinese uh Men mentee, 220 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: like a mentor mentee relationship who has a close relationship 221 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: with the CCP, with the Chinese Communist Party, as you know. 222 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: So there's there's the criminal, there's also just the unethical 223 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: and the sleazy these do you have to parse all 224 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: these things? And look, I hope we just get whatever 225 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: information we need to know everything about this that we 226 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: can know. And I'm gonna tell you this, I don't 227 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: think there's a lot that's in those files that's going 228 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: to be released. I have I think they absolutely should 229 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: be released at this point. Fine, Trump says this should 230 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: be released. Fine, And I think that anything that would 231 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: have been smoking gun has long it's been and I 232 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: don't even know at what part in the in the chain, 233 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: so to speak, but as long since been covered up 234 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: and erased and uh, you know, whatever the whatever the 235 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: tapes were, it's et cetera. All that I think has 236 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: has occurred here. So we have to we have to 237 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: be specific, we have to be clear. I also completely 238 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: agree with Trump that there must be a real degree 239 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: of frustration. There must be considerable frustration from his administration 240 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: for the things that they are doing that affect all 241 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: Americans and Democrats get to play this, uh, you know, 242 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: Chase the shiny object game with Oh but look at 243 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: there's a there's a Trump Epstein email or something. Uh, 244 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: he knows. The shutdown was a disaster for Democrats. They're 245 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: used to winning those kind of battles, at least in 246 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: the public's view, because of the advantage they have with 247 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: propaganda in the media. 248 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: That didn't happen this time. Schumer. 249 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: Schumer looks like a schmo, and that's something that Democrats 250 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: weren't anticipating going into the midterm election year. But affordability, prices, 251 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: the border, the war on drugs, the war on fentanyl, 252 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot that's happening right now that is really 253 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: really important, and I do think that is where we 254 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: should spend a good portion of our time today here. 255 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: But by all means, if you have something that you 256 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: want a weigh in with, you can let us know. 257 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: You can email us about this release of these files, 258 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: and all right, let's see what they've got.

Miranda, 298 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: your piece up on the New York Post. I think 299 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: we've got a crosspost at clayanbuck dot com. It is 300 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: very important. Let's start with this. How sure are we, 301 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: how solid are we that this stuff about about Crooks 302 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: right now is true? That has been found online the 303 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: YouTube accounts like like go through a little bit of 304 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: the verification of that with us. 305 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 306 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 4: Sure. This is from a sauce who is obviously very 307 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 4: tech savvy and has basically used open source searching of 308 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 4: where archives using some tools that private investigators have, but 309 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 4: not using law enforcement tools. And you know, a day 310 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 4: after Butler, YouTube, for instance, shut down Thomas Crooks's account, 311 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 4: but my source managed to find old messages from there. 312 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 4: Now this was available to the FBI because we know 313 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 4: that the Deputy Director, Paul at back in July of 314 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 4: last year, a week two weeks after the Butler event, 315 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 4: he testified to Congress about this account with more than 316 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 4: seven hundred comments which we have which our source gave us. 317 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 4: And so you know, it's pretty straightforward. Our source found 318 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 4: seventeen online accounts that Thomas Crooks had signed up to 319 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 4: using his own name, using a phone number of Thomas 320 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 4: Crooks that was publicly available, and his email addresses that 321 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 4: connected to all these accounts. So he's cross checked it 322 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 4: and is very satisfied that this is the Thomas Crooks 323 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 4: where he wasn't one hundred percent sure, he said so, 324 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 4: But he used these not really aliases, but they're sort 325 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 4: of handles Cooks used on other social media like gab 326 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 4: and x. He used epic microwave. That's also what he 327 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 4: used on a site called debiant Art. The only time 328 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 4: he used an actual alias to sign up for an 329 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 4: account was with PayPal, and he used the name Rod Swanson, 330 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 4: which is the name of an FBI agent who a 331 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 4: former FBI agent from Vegas who was partially involved in 332 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 4: the Las Vegas, you know, mysterious mass shooting. I've talked 333 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 4: to him. Him knows nothing about it, doesn't have a 334 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 4: PayPal account, never never interacted with Thomas Crooks, and doesn't 335 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 4: even know how to set up a PayPal account. But 336 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 4: what he did tell me, because he's a very senior 337 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 4: former FBI guy, very seasoned, he said, it is inconceivable 338 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 4: that a kid with this kind of online communications and 339 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 4: sort of violent rhetoric would not have been visited or 340 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 4: be on the radar of the FBR. So, you know, 341 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 4: other FBI people tell me the same thing. Some one 342 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 4: of them suggested that because August twenty twenty was when 343 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 4: Thomas was at his peak violent rhetoric, talking about assassinating 344 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 4: political leaders and assassinating military leaders and using AR fifteenths, 345 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 4: which was similar to the gun that he used. And 346 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 4: just after that he goes dark. He just disappears off 347 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 4: all of these platforms. You just he's a ghost. But 348 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 4: until August of twenty twenty. He's very prolific, and you 349 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 4: can see the trajectory of how he goes from you know, 350 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 4: age sort of fifteen sixteen, very pro Trump, you know, 351 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 4: like calling him the ultimate patriot, very anti Democrats, anti 352 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 4: the Squad, anti Ilhanoma. And then something happens to him 353 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 4: in January twenty twenty. In the space of two months, 354 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 4: He's gone from rapidly pro Trump, he goes to rapidly 355 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 4: anti Trump. He's got flipped one hundred and eighty degrees. 356 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 4: And then his rhetoric gets more and more violent and disturbing, 357 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 4: and you know, people, it was so bad that there 358 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 4: were people online interacting him with him who were tagging 359 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 4: the FBI and saying to him, hey, you know, you're 360 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 4: pretty dumb, like the way you're talking openly. Now it's 361 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 4: good because now law enforcement knows where to find you. 362 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 4: So it's hard to believe the FBI didn't have him 363 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 4: in their sight. But Christopher Ray, a week after Butler 364 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 4: testified to Congress that they had done a search of 365 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 4: their database and found nothing before Butler. So that doesn't 366 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 4: necessarily mean that they didn't have any interaction. And I 367 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 4: think Christopher Ray knew exactly what he was doing when 368 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 4: he phrased it in that way, because I know that 369 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 4: during my Biden research that there was interactions with whistleblowers 370 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 4: about the Biden family influence peddling corruption, and that was 371 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 4: not visible to any average FBI agent looking in the database. 372 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 4: It was hidden away deliberately by certain road FBI agents 373 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 4: in a place where it could only be found by 374 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 4: people who needed to know. 375 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 2: So there's so much here, Miranda, I want. 376 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: I think it's so important everyone knows these details, because it's. 377 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 2: Hard to believe. That's one way of putting it, that 378 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 2: all this was out there and that as you've as 379 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 2: you said, from even FBI sources of yours, that this 380 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 2: would not have been on the FBI's radar. But an even. 381 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: Like lesser but also equally hard to believe component of 382 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: this to me seems to be that the FBI didn't 383 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: find this stuff, Like why, how is it possible that 384 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: your person, your source was able to find this online 385 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: but the FBI wasn't able to write there's the possibility 386 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: of being on the radar before the shooting and the 387 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: and possible meeting with law enforcement. You've established that, but 388 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: how is it that we didn't know about this before? 389 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 2: Is the FBI? 390 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: Are we to be told that they're that incompetent? That 391 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: is just it's mind blowing. 392 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 4: No, I have no reason to think that the FBI 393 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 4: isn't fully aware of this and much more. I mean, 394 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 4: you know, it would be ridiculous to think that they 395 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 4: hadn't uncovered this. And in fact, Paul Date, the deputy 396 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 4: director under Ray, did testify that they had this account 397 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 4: with more than seven hundred for their YouTube account. So 398 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 4: I assume they have all of this and much more. 399 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 4: The question is why haven't they been more force coming, 400 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 4: particularly since Trump took over by When I contacted the 401 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 4: FBI about this story and asked them a number of questions, including, 402 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 4: I think the most important question, did you have any 403 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 4: interactions with Thomas Crooks before Butler? Did anyone tip you 404 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,239 Speaker 4: off about Thomas Crook? You know, did you investigate him? 405 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 4: Did you knock on his door? That's what I'm told 406 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 4: they should have knocked on his door? Did you do that? 407 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 4: What's the answer I get from Cash Betel's FBI No comment, 408 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 4: that's it. So I don't understand it. And you know, 409 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 4: someone else said to me, well, maybe it was a 410 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 4: Secret Service because in August twenty twenty, Donald Trump was president, 411 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 4: so they have would be the primary agency that would 412 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 4: go and knock on a door a threat to one 413 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 4: of their protectives. But the Secret Service gave me a 414 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 4: better response when I asked them, and they said basically 415 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 4: that this would be this would be something the FBI 416 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 4: would do that even if they said they have no 417 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 4: record of crooks, they said now, but in any case, 418 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 4: this is an FBI responsibility. So I don't even think 419 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 4: it's as simple as for between the cracks between two agencies. 420 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 4: The FBI knows a lot, they have to know a lot. 421 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 4: Just how much I don't know? 422 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: And can I jump in with there's something that we 423 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: didn't know or at least it wasn't imported until this 424 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: week that this guy used they them pronouns and was 425 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: interested in furries and had brought into the gender madness. 426 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: How could that not have been brought forward if the 427 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: FBI was operating in good faith and had access to 428 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: this information. 429 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 4: Yes, I mean it's very slim. I have to emphasize that. 430 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 4: But Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, there 431 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 4: is a connection to this sexual fetish called furries, which 432 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 4: is people dressing up as animals or enjoying cartoon animal 433 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 4: humanized figures, having sex or being in sexual positions. So 434 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 4: Thomas Crook, he's not shared any furry staff. Wele talked 435 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 4: about it, but he was frequenting and had two accounts 436 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 4: on a site called deviant Art, which is the major 437 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 4: sort of furry hub online furry hub, and it's sort 438 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 4: of for the furry community, and he doesn't share anything 439 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 4: like that. He does share this sort of bizarre image 440 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 4: of a very muscle bound, sort of Sylvester Stallone sort 441 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 4: of masculine body with a female head on top of it, 442 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 4: with a puny little guy next to it that looks 443 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 4: like him. That's sort of in a prostate. They're not dressed, 444 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 4: they're addressed in their underwear. So that's one. And then 445 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 4: other than that, sort of cartoon characters on this platform 446 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 4: that are violent, shooting each other in the head and 447 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 4: so on. 448 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: Right, so he's clearly a sicko. What about the they 449 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: them pronoun stuff. 450 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 4: And he uses they them pronouns on debiant Art. That's 451 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 4: the first time we've seen that, so clearly some sort 452 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 4: of gender confusion or exploring gender identity again. I mean 453 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 4: that disturbing needs to explored because we've had so many 454 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 4: gender school shooters. Tyler Robinson also in that vein his 455 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 4: living Lover. So I think it's pertinent, and I don't 456 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 4: think it's enough for Cash Ptel say, oh he was 457 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 4: alone act to forget about it. I mean, if there's 458 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 4: a pattern, we need to know about it. Ron Johnson, 459 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 4: It's not just me as a journalist or Tucker Carlson, 460 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 4: who also did an episode on this last week the 461 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 4: same source. It's also Ron Johnson, the senator whose job 462 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 4: is over sight of the FBI, and he has been 463 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 4: asking since day one for a whole lot of information, 464 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 4: including camera forensics, autopsy, other documents, and getting stonewalled, and 465 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 4: even under Trump's FBI he had to Ron Johnson was 466 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 4: very angry about the fact that in July, on the 467 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 4: one year anniversary of Butler, he had to subpoena Cash 468 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 4: Ptel for the documents that he's been asking for. So 469 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 4: you know, we. 470 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,239 Speaker 1: Will, we will have our team. Let's let's get Ron 471 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: john he may be listening right now. Let's get Senator 472 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: Johnson on here, because I want to talk to him 473 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: about this as well. Because we need to continue to 474 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: follow this and push for this. Miranda, this is all 475 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: so important and everyone should go read Miranda's piece at 476 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: the New York Post.

You would always say, look, he's kind 484 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: of a sad guy, and like, you know, he might 485 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: actually and I you always had some when you would 486 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: talk to us about this on the air, some degree 487 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: of sympathy for the guy, because I think you're just 488 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: a nice person.

He 507 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: truly is. 508 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 4: I still have the same impression of him that I've 509 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 4: always had. He's a broken human being, and look he's 510 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 4: lashing out. He noticed that in all his podcasts, he 511 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 4: never refutes a word I said and what I've written 512 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 4: and what I've found, Even though he keeps up the 513 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 4: pretense through his lawyer, Abby Loll, that he doesn't know 514 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 4: anything about the laptop. It's not his laptop, or maybe 515 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 4: it was his laptop, it was stolen, he never refutes 516 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 4: any of it. The millions of dollars, the fact that 517 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 4: he traded on his father's name, the fact that his 518 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 4: father was involved in getting him clients, and then he 519 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 4: put him on the speakerphone all that corruption during Joe 520 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 4: Biden's vice presidency to enrich his family. He doesn't, he 521 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 4: doesn't go into any of that and try and to 522 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 4: send himself. He just attacks my appearance and hilariously calls 523 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 4: me a whore. So, I mean, you know, it's ridiculous, 524 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 4: and I think I just ignore it. 525 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, he's he's like he should he 526 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: should be in prison, as we all know, he should 527 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: be serving a lengthy federal sentence in prison, but because 528 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: of Daddy, he's not. But I just, you know, Miranda, 529 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: I think there were a lot of people on the 530 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: right who were you know, they're, oh, he's an addict, 531 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: and they try to give some sympathy. I think what 532 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: you saw here, he's a disgusting human being. Uh and 533 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: and I and I thought that all along. So, you know, 534 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,239 Speaker 1: I just think he showed everybody what a piece of 535 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: garbage he is. And I'm just glad that you did 536 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: the completely accurate and fearless reporting on him that you did, 537 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: and that people knew the truth about the Bidens in 538 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: general and the Biden crime family. So and you know, 539 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: Claire and I are happy to have a word with 540 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: him outside the bar if we ever see him, you know, 541 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: after he says the mean things. 542 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 2: Yes, anyway, Miranda, you're the best. You're the best. 543 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh all right, people should go check out 544 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: Podforce one. Thank you, Miranda. Fine, Look, when you've got 545 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: kids under your roof, you can't mess around when it 546 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: comes to protecting them. Before my son was born earlier 547 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: this year, my wife and I put self protection devices 548 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: made by Saber in our home.

Now, everybody, 571 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 2: thank you for being here. 572 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: Immigration, big issue, very important, illegal immigration and legal immigration. 573 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: Actually conversations to be had about all of this right 574 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: now given the Trump agenda. The border, as he had 575 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: mentioned just a little while ago with the Saudi crown 576 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: prints in the Oval Office, border is very secure. 577 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the most secure. 578 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: You know, they got a pretty secure border between North 579 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: and South Korea, but you know, I get his point. 580 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: It's a very secure border now and compared to what 581 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: it was, it's a remarkable transformation, and we should never 582 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: lose sight of the fact that a secure border was 583 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: always possible, but the Democrats didn't want it, and in 584 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: fact chose to make it insecure, wide open. In fact, 585 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: that is what occurred, and Trump has proven that in 586 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: very short, very short order, within a few months of 587 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: taking office, it all changed. And so all those reporters, 588 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: all those Democrats who pretended under Biden's wide open border 589 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: policies that it was just beyond the capabilities of the 590 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: United States government to do something about it, they were 591 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: lying to you. 592 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 2: They were lying to you. 593 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: Please do not forget that, because there's a lot of 594 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,719 Speaker 1: work to be done still on immigration, the H one 595 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: B issue, which is about reforming a legal component of immigration. 596 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: But let's still stay focused here for a bit on 597 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: the illegal immigration issue. We had around ten million. We 598 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: don't even know the exact number. We don't know how 599 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: many came in under Biden. We don't know how many 600 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: are here total. Nobody does, and anyone who says otherwise, 601 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: again lyne due. So we had ten million come in 602 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 1: under Biden, which means there are illegals in this country 603 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: who have been here for a short period of time, 604 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: completely unvetted, no idea who they are, and we, the 605 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: American people, have had enough of this. Solid majority of 606 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: Americans want illegals who came here under Biden to be 607 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: sent back to their home country, which is a This 608 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: is a just outcome. We're not arguing in favor of 609 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: solitary confinement for ten years for every legal came here. 610 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: I understand vast majority of them not bad people at all. 611 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: They want a better life themselves than their kids. I 612 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: bear for those illegals, I don't bear them any ill will. 613 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 2: But they aren't allowed to stay here. There's a different thing. 614 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with them as individuals, as 615 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: human beings. And I saw what the Catholic Conference of Bishops, 616 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm trying to be more active in 617 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: my Catholic faith in the last couple of years, well 618 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: obviously coinciding as well with my son's birth. 619 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 2: I think it is very important that he grow up in. 620 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: A household that at some level is practicing It's Christian faith, 621 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 1: not just believing and not just knowing, but but active 622 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: in our church and Catholic Church at least in an 623 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: a Christian faith at a minimum. I saw what the 624 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: Catholic Bishops put out there, and it's just yeah, I 625 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: won't get into this now other than I think there's 626 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: a lot of work to be done inside the Catholic 627 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: Church and the way that it has been brought so 628 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 1: far to the left. These bishops have nothing to say 629 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: about abortion everywhere, at all times, on demand and in 630 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: blue states, and abortion and pro abortion politicians, and they 631 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: pro transagenda politicians and for trans kids. All this nothing 632 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: to say about that, only open borders. This is when, 633 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: this is when it's too far for them. Very frustrating, 634 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: very frustrating, because in a modern American society, as we 635 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: in our modern American society, presence equals the state giving 636 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: them things that they take from Americans that are rightfully 637 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: that rightfully belong to Americans, and that are taken from 638 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: us under the threat of force. If I don't pay 639 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 1: my taxes, in fact, if I don't even if I 640 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: don't pay my taxes, I go to prison. If I 641 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: don't pay my healthcare premiums, I don't have access to 642 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: private healthcare, and I'm paying for all the emergency room 643 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: visits with my tax dollars for all these illegals they're 644 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: taking from there's a theft that occurs. A theft is 645 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: occurring on a massive scale by the presence of these illegals, 646 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: and it is a theft that people need to understand 647 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: in the most clear terms and that this must be 648 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: addressed by the administration. In fact, JD Vance, this has 649 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: cut twelve. So this ties into a lot, ties into 650 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: the jobs issue, ties into the tax issue, ties into 651 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: the housing issue. And here is JD Vance on the 652 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: issue of home affordability and illegals play twelve. 653 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,720 Speaker 7: A lot of young people are saying housing is way 654 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 7: too expensive. 655 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 4: Why is that because we flooded the. 656 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 7: Country with thirty million illegal immigrants who were taking houses 657 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 7: that ought by right go to American citizens. And at 658 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 7: the same time, we weren't building enough new houses to 659 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 7: begin with, even for the population that we had. 660 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 4: So what we're. 661 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 7: Doing is trying to make it easier to build houses, 662 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 7: trying to make it easier to build factories and things 663 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 7: like that so that people have good jobs. We're also 664 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 7: getting all of those illegal aliens out of our country, 665 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 7: and you're already seeing it start to pay some dividend. 666 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:03,959 Speaker 1: No matter what Democrats say, no matter what these civilization 667 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: undermining pro illegal alien NGOs do and say, supply and 668 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: demand is a real thing. It's a real thing. When 669 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: it comes to the labor market, it's a real thing. 670 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: When it comes to the housing market, it's always real, 671 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: it's always operating. It's just a question of how much 672 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: state interference is there, how much subterfuge is there in 673 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: the market. But people need places to live, they need 674 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: to pay for them. The prices are being set. And 675 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: in this case here let me get let me give 676 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 1: you just a particularly clear example, and this is short 677 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: term housing hotels New York City. I'm gonna be visiting 678 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: my family next week in New York. It has not 679 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: people keep even had people say to me like, has 680 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: Mamdani ruined it? Yet I'm like, well, he's not mayor yet, 681 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 1: so we gotta we gotta take a moment. You know, 682 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: it comes mayor think a little later. But here we 683 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 1: have New York City with its housing prices and it's 684 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: which are sky high. But also which is how Momdani 685 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: of course rode this issue into the mayor's office. But 686 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: then you have on top of that the hotels in 687 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: New York City. Hotels are wildly expensive. And I know 688 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: this because I'm looking at the hotel bills for next week, 689 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: and I went, oh, my gosh, hotels are wildly expensive 690 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: in New York. It was the case. I'm not sure 691 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 1: what it is right now, but in the last few 692 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: years that migrants at taxpayer expense, we're taking up twenty 693 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five percent. I think it was of 694 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: the hotel rooms in the five boroughs of. 695 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 2: New York City. That's a huge portion of them. 696 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: When you take twenty five percent off the table for 697 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: those of us who are not government subsidized and not 698 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: having someone else pay for it, what happens. 699 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 2: Price goes up. 700 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: More people want the same amount of goods that are there, 701 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: the price goes up. So if that applies in New 702 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: York City, and it most certainly does the same way 703 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: that the thirty percent of illegals using all hotel I'm 704 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: sorry all er visits right, the same way that those 705 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: individuals create longer waits and more expensive care for everybody 706 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: else supply and demand. There's always a cost. There is 707 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: no free lunch. I mean, some people have a free lunch, 708 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: but it's not free for everybody, right, somebody else is 709 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: paying for that lunch. That's why there can't be a 710 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: free lunch, someone's paying and it's you, and many of 711 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: us have become tired of how much of that is 712 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 1: going on when it comes to illegal aliens in the 713 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: millions in this country. And there's also the issue of 714 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: when do we have too many illegals and when do 715 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: we have too many recent arrivals for assimilation to function 716 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: the way that it needs to in any society. Governor 717 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis of Florida. And it's not just because I 718 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: live here. Look, Governor de Santis is a big part 719 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 1: of why I moved here because of what he was 720 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:18,479 Speaker 1: doing in this state. He I think is the best 721 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,720 Speaker 1: governor still in America. I've I've never experienced this before, 722 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: and I joke around with my family members about this. 723 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 2: I used to just always have to tell myself, I 724 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 2: live in New York, all right, you know. 725 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: The political leadership although there were some good mayors, There 726 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 1: were some good mayors, but at the state level, lot 727 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: of bozo, a lot of dumb stuff being done at 728 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 1: that are well. I still love New York, even if 729 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: the leadership is dumb. Now I'm in Florida and I 730 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: get to say, Wow, this is a great state. I'm 731 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: really enjoying my life here, and the leadership does smart 732 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: things that they should do, and they even think of 733 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: smart things to do that I hadn't thought of. 734 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 2: That's what it is to be in a state. 735 00:41:54,880 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 1: With intelligent, conservative, realistic, sane governance. Now, you know, some 736 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: of you really like Texas, you really like Tennessee, you 737 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: really like whatever in red state. 738 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 2: Governor you have some of you in Utah. Well, I've 739 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 2: heard it. I've heard. 740 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 1: I've heard some mixed reviews about how you feel about 741 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: your state governance. You love your state, but I've heard. 742 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, we have a huge Salt Lake City audience. 743 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: I was out in Utah not long ago, and I heard, 744 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: you know, you love Utah, but the Utah leadership, I 745 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 1: hear some things a little mixed, a little mixed review. 746 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: But Desanti's weighed in on the illegal immigrant issue, and 747 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 1: here he is, and he's just saying something that needs 748 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 1: to be said. It is possible to take in too 749 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: many foreigners too quickly, and we need to be realistic 750 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: about that as a country, because at some level, a 751 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,240 Speaker 1: country is an idea. It is lines on a map 752 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,399 Speaker 1: that only can exist because there is a sense of 753 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: a political nation, family of people a bond that exists 754 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,319 Speaker 1: between us as Americans. 755 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 2: It's a very complicated. 756 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: It's really interesting thing, isn't it the notion of this nation, state, 757 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: of this American family, that you and I you know, 758 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 1: you may have grown up in Washington State, or you 759 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: may have grown up in Colorado and I grew up 760 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: in New York City, and that there's something that holds us. 761 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 1: There are things that hold us together. We have all 762 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: this shared belief, all this shared sense of destiny and 763 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: purpose as Americans. 764 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 2: We have to. 765 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 1: Protect that and preserve that. It isn't just a guarantee. 766 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: In fact, countries fall apart. They have civil wars, they 767 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 1: have secession movements, they have breakages in that polity. The 768 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: Greeks would have called it right in that political family. 769 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 1: And Ron de Santis says, look, what if you bring 770 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 1: ten million people into people from Somalia into Georgia. 771 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 2: Would that be a good idea? Play cut eleven. 772 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 8: You have some strain on the right the son and 773 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 8: no illegal immigration is bad, legal immigration, no matter what, 774 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 8: is good. 775 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 2: And wait a minute now. 776 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 8: I'm not saying any of its that it's all bad 777 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 8: or what, but is bringing ten million people from like 778 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 8: Somalia in dumping them into Georgia. 779 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 2: Is that good because it's legal. 780 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 8: I think you have to think critically about what are 781 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 8: we doing with an immigration policy, and is it benefiting 782 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,360 Speaker 8: the American people? Is it helping to promote a strong 783 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,920 Speaker 8: American culture. We should never bring people into this country 784 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 8: who hate America. 785 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:40,760 Speaker 2: We have to be smart. 786 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 8: It's lazy thinking to say anything that's legal must necessarily be. 787 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 1: Good critical And this is the next level of this discussion. 788 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,240 Speaker 1: This is where this is all going. 789 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 2: Now. 790 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,280 Speaker 1: It's not just illegal immigration that needs a good long look. 791 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: We've had a lot of legal immigration. We've changed this 792 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: country faster with foreigners than at any time in our history, 793 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,800 Speaker 1: more than the Ellis Island era, more than the period 794 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,360 Speaker 1: of the of the settlers, more than any time. Okay, 795 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,439 Speaker 1: we have had massive transformation. Now a lot of them, 796 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: A lot of people come here become great Americans. I 797 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 1: live here in South Florida. Hey, it's funny because I 798 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 1: through my study of authoritarianism and communism specifically, I just 799 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: have this inherent fondness and kinship with Venezuelan Americans and 800 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: Cuban Americans who are right wing and hate communism like 801 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 1: we just have. I just have this bond. I they 802 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 1: think how I think, and we so. Yes, it can 803 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,439 Speaker 1: work and it's a beautiful thing, and it is part 804 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: of the story of American I get all of that, 805 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: but there has to be a real conversation about have 806 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: we done too much of this thing? You know, you 807 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,399 Speaker 1: drink too much water, you die. You know that that's 808 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 1: a truth, that's a real thing. You can actually die. 809 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: You need water to live. Water is not bad. Too 810 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 1: much water too as guys. I think it's called like 811 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: hypa natremia or something. Check me on this one. But 812 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,879 Speaker 1: it's when you get the sodium levels get thrown off. 813 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 1: It happens to elite athletes sometimes, and like super marathons 814 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,719 Speaker 1: or ultra marathons. You could water can kill you if 815 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: there's too much of it, drinking it, I mean, obviously 816 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,280 Speaker 1: you can drown in it, but drinking too much water. 817 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 1: It is possible that too much of what is otherwise 818 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: a good thing or a valid thing. Have we had 819 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,520 Speaker 1: too much legal immigration too quickly in this country. This 820 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 1: is not to disparage anyone who's come here legally. We 821 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 1: love our American legal immigrants, and you know, but the 822 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 1: number has gotten really big, and we do have to 823 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 1: draw a line somewhere, and maybe it's time to like, 824 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: you know, cozy up with our fellow Americans for a 825 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 1: while here and have some continuity, some sense of assimilation, 826 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 1: some sense of our shared americanness. That that is a 827 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,320 Speaker 1: because if you look at previous periods of migration to America, 828 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 1: there was a surge and then things calm down for 829 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: a while and we let things settle. There was surge 830 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 1: and then we get it is only in this era 831 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: where we've done. We're just blown the hinges off the doors. 832 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,360 Speaker 2: Everyone's coming, everyone's coming illegally. 833 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's a free for all that it's supposed 834 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,720 Speaker 1: to continue this way in perpetuity. Ron knows, Ron de scientists, 835 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: the governor knows, that's crazy. No country can be the 836 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 1: country it is if it continues. 837 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:25,439 Speaker 2: In this way.

In fact, some of those interactions 910 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 9: are some of those comical interactions you'll you'll ever see. 911 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 9: And you know, and in the media always portrays themselves 912 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,239 Speaker 9: as jokers. They have this entire time. I mean, look 913 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 9: at sixty minutes, right, look at look at Leslie Stall. 914 00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,760 Speaker 9: You know, you know, my father goes out, they're spying 915 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 9: on my campaign. They're not buying on your and then 916 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 9: sure enough, guess what we find out that they're buying 917 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,239 Speaker 9: on the campaign. And look at you know, CNN every 918 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 9: single day, and look at the questions that they ask 919 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,799 Speaker 9: and every single time they ask a question, Everything that 920 00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,319 Speaker 9: my father says is proven to be correct. And yet 921 00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 9: they continue to go down these narratives, right, I mean, 922 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 9: look at the New York Times with their Pulitzer prizes 923 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 9: for the Russia hoax. It was a hoax. They you know, 924 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 9: they let it run for a three year period of 925 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,480 Speaker 9: time and then it came out those a hoax. They 926 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,840 Speaker 9: won't give back their Politzer prizes. But yet they've braided 927 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,400 Speaker 9: my father every single day. Look at all the sham 928 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,759 Speaker 9: indictments and trials in New York where every single day, 929 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 9: you know, they said my father was going to jail. 930 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,360 Speaker 9: They said that, you know, he was good, he was 931 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,160 Speaker 9: the worst human And guess what, every single one of 932 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 9: those lawsuits got got overturned, right, every single one of 933 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 9: those indictments got overturned in the court system. And so, 934 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 9: you know, the point of the narrative is our media 935 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,960 Speaker 9: in this country doesn't have a whole lot of credibility. 936 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 9: The trust in our media in this country is single digits, right. 937 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 9: No one likes them, no one trusts them. They normally 938 00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 9: conduct themselves like absolute fools. 939 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 4: And it's why. 940 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 9: American people don't like them. Don't watch him and his 941 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 9: white independent voice like yours is doing so well. 942 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 1: Well, you know, on this issue of the critics of 943 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 1: the administration of your dad and the team he has 944 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 1: around him in the cabinet, it's pretty remarkable to me. 945 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 1: You know, you run, You're the executive vice president of 946 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 1: the Trump organization. You've been operating in the world of 947 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 1: international business dealings and at a scale with you know, 948 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 1: big dollar figures, a lot of employees, a lot of productivity, 949 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,879 Speaker 1: a lot of things going on. The voices that I 950 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 1: hear attacking Trump from the left, the Democrat Party, attacking 951 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 1: this administration on affordability, on things like housing, I. 952 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 2: Just have to laugh. 953 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,360 Speaker 1: These people you know, this is the AOC, Mam Donnie Wing. 954 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,760 Speaker 1: They don't know a darn thing about how to build anything, 955 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,760 Speaker 1: what it costs, what it means to actually create product 956 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 1: for people like homes to live in, and yet they're 957 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,160 Speaker 1: the experts on this, I mean, this strain of Mamdanism. 958 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 1: It's just going to drive you nuts as part of 959 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:01,400 Speaker 1: a family of builders. 960 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,479 Speaker 9: You know what it drives me to nuts is actually, 961 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:05,400 Speaker 9: under Joe Biden, you had you know, four years of 962 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 9: ten percent plus inflation in this country, right. That means 963 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 9: every two by four at home depot was more expensive. 964 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,440 Speaker 9: I mean, housing prices literally doubled. And that's because of massive, 965 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 9: massive inflation. Guess who that benefits. That doesn't benefit you know, 966 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,840 Speaker 9: the lower middle classes. That benefits people that have assets. 967 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,839 Speaker 9: And yet they're talking about affordability now, so you mean 968 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 9: to tell me ten percent compound in every single year. 969 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,799 Speaker 9: You remember energy prices, you know, Bucky, you remember the 970 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 9: little stickers that said I did that and it's a 971 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,400 Speaker 9: picture of Joe Biden's face, and everybody was putting them 972 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 9: on the gas prices. You know, gas pumps all over 973 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,560 Speaker 9: the country. Right when energy costs became some of the 974 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:45,440 Speaker 9: most expensive in history. When you know, America stopped exporting energy, right, 975 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,439 Speaker 9: they became dependent on other countries for energy, even though 976 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 9: that we were totally energy sufficient under my father's first term, 977 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,720 Speaker 9: and he gave it all away when he started banning 978 00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 9: the Keystone Xcel pipeline and so many other projects. Right, 979 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:02,200 Speaker 9: Biden caused that problem. Biden caused the inflation. Look at 980 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:06,840 Speaker 9: inflation rates today under my father versus inflation rates under 981 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 9: Joe Biden. It's laughable that anybody could say that the 982 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:14,280 Speaker 9: affordability crisis occurred under Donald Trump and not Joe Biden. 983 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,400 Speaker 9: When you literally had the cost of everyday life go 984 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,279 Speaker 9: up a compounding ten percent a year. It was over 985 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 9: forty percent over the four year period of time when 986 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 9: nominal wages were increasing like two percent a year. Right, 987 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 9: people are getting crammed down by twenty five, thirty thirty 988 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,839 Speaker 9: five percent over that period of time where they were 989 00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,399 Speaker 9: losing grounds. The cost of everything was going like this, 990 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:41,440 Speaker 9: and obviously wage growth was virtually stagnant. I find it comical, 991 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:42,239 Speaker 9: to say the least. 992 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,280 Speaker 1: Speaking of Eric Trump, Number one New York Time's bestseller 993 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,480 Speaker 1: under Siege is his book, which I know so many 994 00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 1: of you have gotten copies of it if you haven't, 995 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,160 Speaker 1: makes a great present for the holidays. Eric, you know, 996 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,080 Speaker 1: we're coming into the end of the year holiday season 997 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,600 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of talk, like I said, about 998 00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,359 Speaker 1: affordability and people. I'm sure we're going to see the 999 00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,160 Speaker 1: news reports on Monday Tuesday about the cost of a 1000 00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:08,000 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner now versus obviously under Biden, the inflation for 1001 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,400 Speaker 1: these dinners was tremendous. Now Trump, your dad's bringing this 1002 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,920 Speaker 1: stuff down. But what is your You're having to operate 1003 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,040 Speaker 1: in the private sector in ways that you have tremendous 1004 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,359 Speaker 1: connectivity here at home and around the world. What's your 1005 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,240 Speaker 1: look ahead for the twenty twenty six economy here at home? 1006 00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,759 Speaker 1: What are some of the things that you think could 1007 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:31,720 Speaker 1: really ignite the continuation of a lot of the growth 1008 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,319 Speaker 1: and a lot of the good policy that we've seen, Like, 1009 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 1: what are you looking at for twenty twenty six when 1010 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 1: it comes to the costs of things, pocketbook issues, all that. 1011 00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 9: A buck. I've never been more bullish on the future 1012 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 9: of AMERICAI. I mean, I mean that sincerely. You know, 1013 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 9: if you look at what my father's doing on energy, right, 1014 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,960 Speaker 9: he wants energy, he wants these SMRs. He wants these 1015 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 9: nuclear reactors, right, he's permitting them left and right. He's saying, drill, baby, drill. 1016 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:55,439 Speaker 9: He wants to have the cheapest energy in the world. 1017 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 9: And why is that? Let me let me just explain 1018 00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:01,000 Speaker 9: this to everybody. Energy costs are directly correlated to GDP. 1019 00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,960 Speaker 9: The lower your energy costs, generally speaking, the higher your 1020 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 9: GDP costs are, and you can track that for literally 1021 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,560 Speaker 9: decades and decades around the world. You keep low energy costs, 1022 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 9: you're going to have high GDP. That's especially true when 1023 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,320 Speaker 9: you have things like like you know, the crypto industries, 1024 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,880 Speaker 9: the AI industries, industries that can transform, you know, be 1025 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 9: transformational to an economy. Obviously, AI is that revolution. Crypto 1026 00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 9: in terms of digital finance is that revolution. Guess what 1027 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,560 Speaker 9: they need? They need energy? So does manufacturing. It needs 1028 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,319 Speaker 9: it needs energy. We've got more energy under our feet 1029 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,320 Speaker 9: than any country anywhere in the world, and we're finally 1030 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,200 Speaker 9: exploiting that again, which is an amazing thing for the 1031 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,120 Speaker 9: United States of America. That's what pulls costs down. You know, 1032 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,720 Speaker 9: they say about fifty to sixty percent of all inflation 1033 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,520 Speaker 9: is the cost of energy. Because for every egg, for 1034 00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,000 Speaker 9: every gallon of milk for you know, guess what you 1035 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,240 Speaker 9: need to do. You need to transport that, and transport 1036 00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 9: and costs are expensive. And that's all based you know, 1037 00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,640 Speaker 9: on oil and gas and ultimately energy. So we're solving 1038 00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 9: the energy. Second of all, look at bonus appreciation, right, 1039 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:01,920 Speaker 9: So my father put in one hundred percent bonus appreciation. 1040 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 9: It means that every person who reinvested their company, reinvest 1041 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,680 Speaker 9: in their business, is able to write it off, you know, 1042 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 9: day one, year one. What that's going to do in 1043 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,360 Speaker 9: terms of the contracting space, what that's going to do 1044 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 9: with in terms of inward investing in companies in America 1045 00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,280 Speaker 9: is going to be transformational. Third of all, look at 1046 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,480 Speaker 9: the you know, the tax plan. The largest tax breaks 1047 00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,200 Speaker 9: in the history of our country were put in by 1048 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,160 Speaker 9: by my father. Right, that's going to be revolutionary for 1049 00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 9: American competitiveness around the world, you know, a business owners. Fourth, 1050 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,960 Speaker 9: look at the amount of inward investment that's coming into 1051 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,000 Speaker 9: our country. And look at what Saudi Arabia is doing. 1052 00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 9: Look at what all these countries are doing. Literally trillions 1053 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 9: of dollars at this point, trillions and trillions of dollars 1054 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 9: are coming into the United States and that's before you 1055 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 9: even get to you know, he's going out to every 1056 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 9: country saying, listen, aside from the fact I want you 1057 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,440 Speaker 9: to invest two trillion dollars in the US or trillion 1058 00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,640 Speaker 9: dollars or eight hundred million dollars, I want you to 1059 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 9: go out and I want you to buy two hundred 1060 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 9: Boeing aircraft. Right. I mean, he's literally saving industries by 1061 00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 9: by what he's what he's doing. In fifth, you look 1062 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 9: at you know, the tariffs. The tariffs are working. It's 1063 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 9: hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars that are flowing 1064 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 9: back into this country based on tariffs, based on the 1065 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 9: fact that everybody wants to and needs to trade with 1066 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 9: the United States of America, which is by far the 1067 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 9: world's largest economy at thirty two thirty three trillion dollars. 1068 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,000 Speaker 9: And guess what he's doing on the opposice side. He's 1069 00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 9: getting rid of all tariffs. He's getting rid of all duties, 1070 00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 9: which is allowing forward and allowing all the you know, 1071 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 9: American companies to be able to export their product overseas. 1072 00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 9: The point of this story is, I've never been more 1073 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 9: bullish on the United States ever before. There's confidence in 1074 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,240 Speaker 9: this country. There's respect around the world for the United 1075 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 9: States of America. Everybody wants to be part of a dollar. 1076 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 9: You see stable coins all around the world that are 1077 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,960 Speaker 9: pegged to the US dollar. Trillions of dollars are going 1078 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 9: to come into our economy based on stable coins, based 1079 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 9: on the growth of cryptocurrencies, which I believe in with 1080 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,880 Speaker 9: every aspect of my heart and soul. Are our economy 1081 00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 9: is going to boom? Are you going to have volatility? 1082 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 9: Of course, you always have polatility in every economy, But 1083 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 9: I think we are You compare America to Europe, it's 1084 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,480 Speaker 9: not even close. You compare America to just about any 1085 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 9: other region in the world. Fuck, it's not even close. 1086 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,240 Speaker 9: We're doing all the right things, and we're doing them 1087 00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:18,240 Speaker 9: quickly and smartly, and America is ultimately going to win 1088 00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,880 Speaker 9: because of it.
