Right now, some breaking news 10 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: had just happened. Just a few moments ago. The President 11 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: of the United States, Donald J. Trump, announced that Iron 12 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: has just fifteen days left to make a deal with 13 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: the United States their faced unfortunate consequences. The clock is 14 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: now taking, the date is now set. 15 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: There is a deadline. 16 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: Iron will not be able to spring this along for 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: two and three years, like it has tried in many 18 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: other negotiations over the last three or four decades since 19 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: the Mulist took over that country. Donald Trump has set 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: a picking time clock and he means that you can 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: tell today for his statement. Meanwhile, over in Great Britain, 22 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: the British people have been asking will the former Prince Andrew, 23 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: the brother of King Charles, third, would he ever face 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: any consequences for his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. But the 25 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 1: answer this morning was absolutely why because of British authorities 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,919 Speaker 1: arrested the former Prince, the former royal who was stripped 27 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: of all of his titles as a result of his 28 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, on charges of potential public corruption. 29 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: The allegations stem from documents that Pam Bondi's Justice Department 30 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: released in the last couple of weeks that showed that 31 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: he may have been fading feeding secrets from his job 32 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: as a trade representative in the British government to people 33 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: like Epstein and others. Police arrested them, they held them 34 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: for several months, They searched several of his properties. 35 00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: They did let him go, but they. 36 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: Also confirm that there is an investigation. Prince Charles or 37 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: takes to me. King Charles responded along with the British 38 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: Prime Minister, both men saying they'll have to let the 39 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: law take its course when it comes to Andrew. We'll 40 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: see you have a lot more of that over at 41 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: justinnews dot com. Meanwhile, some really important news here in Washington, 42 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: and I want to get to you, but a quick 43 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: they tour down to Texas. The Antifa terror cell that 44 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: last summer attacked a group of ICE agents and an 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: ICE outpost in Texas, wounding people with guns. This was 46 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: a lethal gun attack on officers. They had their trial 47 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: begun and almost instantly there was a mistrial declared why 48 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: one of the defense lawyers for these terrorists wore a 49 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: politically message shirt, which the judge ruled to be inappropriate. 50 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: The jury selection was stopped. A new trial will restart 51 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: Friday Monday, and I have a funny feeling that lawyer 52 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: is going to have a very different wardrobe. We'll have 53 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: a lot more on that in the next few days. 54 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: That's such an important case. Finally, a little news on 55 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: the accountability front when it comes to the weaponization of government. 56 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: We're long waiting for real justice. 57 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: There are signs that the federal prosecutors in Miami, who 58 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: are running a grand jury in four Pierce for looking 59 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: at the last decade of weaponization, are definitely zeroing and 60 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: on the former CIA director John Brennan. 61 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 2: At John Brennan's lawyers acknowledged he. 62 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: Got some subpoenas and thinks he's a target of the investigation. 63 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: But in the last few days, just the News has 64 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: confirmed that the prosecutors in Florida working for the Miami 65 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: US Attorney's Office have sent a secret request to the Senate. 66 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: It's rare, this happens very seldom, asking for Congress to 67 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: turn over evidence it has about an Executive. 68 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: Branch official, that official, John Brennan. 69 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: What they're looking for are the testimonies that John Brennan 70 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: gave about Russia collusion and Russia assessments from twenty sixteen 71 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: seventeen in eighteen. Now, why is that significant. There's two 72 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: reasons to look for. The first is John Brennan's been 73 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: saying all along that I know Jim Jordan referred to 74 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: me for prosecution as my testimony doesn't seem to match 75 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: my document, but the Senate, the way I talk to 76 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: the Senate will exonerate me. Well, obviously those prosecutors want 77 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: to get every record of what he told the Senate 78 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: to see if it has any exonerating effect on the case. 79 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,839 Speaker 1: The second is another important sign. When Jim Jordan, House 80 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: Committee Chairman for Judiciary referred John Bennan for prosecution, he 81 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: cited his twenty twenty three testimony which claimed he didn't 82 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: really try to get the discredited steal dass into an 83 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: intelligence product that said that Russia helped Donald Trump win 84 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: the election. Well, we know from his emails that John 85 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: Brennan did well. That testimony is from twenty twenty three. 86 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: It's within the Statute of limitations. What was requested of 87 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: the US Senate, according to our sources over at Justindewes 88 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: dot com is from twenty sixteen and seventeen in eighteen, 89 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: outside of the Statute of limitations. Why should that be 90 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: significant because it's a clear sign that, as we've been reporting, 91 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: and as FBI Director Cash Bettel first urged the Justice 92 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: Department a year ago, they're looking at a conspiracy case, 93 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: a case it can go back outside of the statue 94 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: limitations like acts in sixteen seventeen at eighteen in charge 95 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: their charge those as overt acts connected to crimes that 96 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: occurred inside the statute of limitations. We've exscribed to describe 97 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: that strategy a lot on the show, talked a lot 98 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: of lawyers about it. This is one of the clearest cases. 99 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: Asking the Senate for almost decade old testimony means that 100 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: they're looking at that testimony as a potential overt act 101 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: of a criminal conspiracy. So more on that tomorrow morning 102 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: when you wake up. All the details on this will 103 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: be over at justinnews dot com. But you got it 104 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: first here because of your loyalty. Hear the room, America's 105 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: voice and justin News. All right, our first guest today 106 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: is pretty special. 107 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: He's trending even though he's in Congress. 108 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: He's trending on x right now for alongside of some 109 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: pretty darn and good looking dogs. And the answer to 110 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: how that all happened is tied up in an amazing yarn. 111 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 1: He is a great congressman for the state of Florida. 112 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: Brandy Fine, Congressman. Good to have you on the show today. 113 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. 114 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: Okay, So I want to get to your remarkable trending 115 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: moment in social media before I do pretty serious moment. 116 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: A very clear red line drawn in the sand tonight 117 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: by President Trump. 118 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: Iron has fifteen days. He's not going to wait six. 119 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: Months and let them do their normal ropodope of negotiation. 120 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: How insignificant is it that we have a deadline to 121 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: date and a clear deliverin or for Iran to meet. 122 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's very significant. Look, Donald Trump doesn't 123 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 3: mess around, and so he's now laid out a timeframe 124 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: for when he expects a deal to be cut. It 125 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 3: is clear that Iran cannot have two things. They cannot 126 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 3: have a nuclear weapon and they cannot have a delivery 127 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: system in order to deliver that nuclear weapon to the 128 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 3: United States and intercontinental ballistic missile. Those two things cannot happen. 129 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 3: And Donald Trump's given them fifteen days. They're either going 130 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 3: to give it up and they're going to work with us, 131 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: or he's going to go in and take care of it. 132 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 3: And if the world has learned something over the last year, 133 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 3: it's when when Donald Trump says he's going to do something, 134 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 3: he goes and he gets it done. 135 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that that's exactly right. 136 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: There's a lot of hardware in the Middle East right now, 137 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: perhaps the largest assemblage of American might in the Middle 138 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: East that we've seen since the second goal. For the 139 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: capabilities are all there for the president. One thing that 140 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: I've heard some people talking about is that you could 141 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: have a prelude to a military attack by just creating 142 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: a blockade and strangleholding Iran's export of oil or import 143 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: of food and money and water and. 144 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: Things that it needs. 145 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: Is that a potential step in between a direct attack 146 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: on the Malas and where we are today. 147 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: Well, certainly an option that the President has, and again 148 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: I trust his judgment, but we have clamped down on 149 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: a lot of those things. Iran is not selling a 150 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 3: lot of oil these days because of all the embargoes. 151 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 3: Could we tighten things even more, I'm sure that we could, 152 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 3: but I think for now we've done a lot. I 153 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 3: think he's very clear two weeks either we either get 154 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: the job done one way or we're going to get 155 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: the job done another way. 156 00:07:59,560 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 157 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: Important, and I think the American people want to see 158 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: a resolution. The Iranian people, I think are praying for 159 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: a resolution. So it's going to be pretty interesting to see. 160 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: Our BAF is not with the Iranian people, it's with 161 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: their mothers, who've governed for forty years with such tyrannical consequences. 162 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: When you look out over the horizon, the work that 163 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: occurred in Venezuela, the removal of Maduro, the flipping of 164 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: that government to a more pro American stance, it seems 165 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: to have opened up a lot of opportunity for us, 166 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: including identifying the shadow fleets that we're running energy and 167 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: oil to Cuba. To and from Russia and to and 168 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: from Iran. That seems like Venezuela was more than just Venezuela. 169 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: We got a lot of other benefits against some of 170 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: our other enemies in frontemies. Is that likely strengthening President 171 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: Trump's hands with all three of those countries. 172 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Look, there are three real threats in the world 173 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 3: today as a nation states. They are Russia, China, and Iran. 174 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: But Iran is the one that is most kinetically active 175 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 3: towards herding America. They've killed hundreds of our soldiers going 176 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 3: all the way back to Beirut. They were behind all 177 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 3: of that. You know, obviously the war in Gaza over 178 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 3: the last two years where many Americans were killed there 179 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 3: as well. They fund evil all over the world. They're 180 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 3: the largest state sponsor of terror all over the world. 181 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 3: And if we simply allowed the Iranian people to have 182 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: the government they want, if we made Persia great again, 183 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 3: it would transform the world because first it would clean 184 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 3: up all these problems in the Middle East. Second, it 185 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 3: would create a new source of oil, you could get 186 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: rid of the sanctions that would help the entire world economy. 187 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 3: And they would rejoin and become the kind of country 188 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 3: and the kind of culture they were before their Muslim 189 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 3: cleric leaders took over in nineteen seventy nine. So making 190 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 3: this change is an unambiguous good for the world. It 191 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: would be transformative and yet one more legacy setting event 192 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 3: for Donald Trump. 193 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, and while the ominous potential consequences for Iran are 194 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: on one hand, there's a carrot, and just across the 195 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: street from it, because today the Board of Peace met 196 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: to put the touches on a really ambitious American effort 197 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: to rebuild Gaza, to give the Palestinian people and the 198 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: Israelis who live there real economic hope and opportunity and 199 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: engagement that they've been denied by radical leaders for a 200 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: long time. Is that the carrot that when Iran looks 201 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: over the way, they say, hey, my friends are abandoned 202 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: me because they like that deal better. 203 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know that it's a carrot for Iran 204 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: because Iran has not been destroyed in the same way 205 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: that Gaza has. The carrot has always been there. The 206 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 3: carrot is a wealthier, prosperous country. I mean, Iran should 207 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 3: be a rich nation. They have massive oil reserves, and 208 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 3: so were they willing to give up the crazy Islamic 209 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 3: terror and all of the other stuff that they do, 210 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 3: and just become a normal friend of the world. I 211 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 3: think the country would be incredibly prosperous and successful, would 212 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 3: be great for their people, it'd be great for the world. 213 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 3: So this is one of those instances where a relatively 214 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 3: small number of people, the Muslim clerics who run Iran, 215 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 3: not only hurt the world, but they hurt their own people. 216 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: And if Donald Trump can get that problem fixed, everybody wins, 217 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 3: the Iranian people, the Middle East, the United States, and 218 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 3: frankly the entire world. 219 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. 220 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: It could be a history changing event offing for us. 221 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 2: All right. 222 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: A few people in New York are also making a 223 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: lot of people uncomfortable. In fact, the big Apple feels 224 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: more like the mediocre Apple since Mumdani took over. But 225 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: over the weekend, a Democratic activists Muslim activists who's aligned 226 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: with Mandani suggested that maybe some Muslims would like to 227 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: take dogs away. 228 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 2: From those in New York. 229 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: You weigh in on the side of dogs, which, as 230 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: a dog lever I know is an important thing. Your 231 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 1: words have been twisted by a lot of people. Tell 232 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: us what happened, what you really meant and what's happened 233 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: online because you have a fan club, the greatest fan 234 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: club of dog lovers I've ever seen, maybe even bigger 235 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: than the Kenel Club. 236 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 237 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 3: Look, I don't know that my words were taken out 238 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 3: of context, but here's what happened now. I'm Akim Mamdani advisor. 239 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 3: And obviously we can see Sharia coming to New York 240 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 3: and meet multiple ways in terms of the people he's 241 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 3: putting in office, the way he's talked about immigration policy. 242 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 3: Now the call to prayer is being played. Muslims plan 243 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: to occupy Times Square because apparently praying in their mosque 244 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: isn't good enough. So we've seen Sharia come full force 245 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: in New York. And one of his advisors over the 246 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 3: weekend said the following, Finally, Islam is coming to New 247 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 3: York City. Dogs are unclean and they should not be 248 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 3: indoor pets. She called on a ban for us to 249 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 3: have dogs as pets. Now, look, if people want to 250 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 3: come to the United States, we can talk about that, 251 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: but you don't get to move here and then demand 252 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 3: how we change how we live. So I made a 253 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: pretty simple statement. I said, if people like this lady, 254 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: if they're going to make us choose between dogs and 255 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: people who are unwilling to live with dogs. I'm going 256 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 3: to choose dogs. It's not a difficult choice. And the 257 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 3: left went crazy because what we've learned is this. They 258 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: used to say, if you don't want unfettered illegal immigration, 259 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 3: if you don't want anybody to come here for any reason, 260 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: if you're against that, you're a racist. And then they said, well, 261 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 3: it's not enough that they come here. We have to 262 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 3: give them everything they want for free, food stamps, housing, 263 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 3: health care, education. And if you're not willing to give 264 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 3: them everything they want for free, you're a racist. Now 265 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 3: what they're saying is after they've come, after we've given 266 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 3: them everything for free, if we aren't willing to change 267 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 3: how we live, if we aren't willing to give up 268 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 3: what it means to be an American, that we're racists. 269 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 3: And they've gone crazy because I've said, it's pretty simple. 270 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 3: In America. We love dogs. We're going to keep our dogs, 271 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: and if they don't like it, they can leave. 272 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all they meant. 273 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: You were never trying to equate that a Muslim person 274 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: is a lesser creature than a dog. Some people have 275 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: suggested that that's not what you were suggesting. 276 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 3: Right, not in any way. I don't know how you 277 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 3: can interpret that from you couldn't I have to choose. 278 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 3: I didn't say one is better than the other, you know, 279 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 3: but I also but I don't think that. And the 280 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: key point of my comment was if they make us choose. 281 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 3: I'm Jewish, Jews generally don't eat pork. But you don't 282 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 3: see us demanding that barbecue joints go out of business 283 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 3: because barbecue. 284 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: What it means to be America. 285 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 3: And that's the difference is you are allowed to practice 286 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 3: your faith in privacy and in freedom, but it ends 287 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 3: when you tell me what I have to believe. You 288 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 3: don't get to do that in America. There are fifty 289 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 3: seven countries in the world where you can go be 290 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 3: Sharia compliant and not have a dog. It's my job 291 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 3: to make sure we don't become number fifty eight. And 292 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 3: with a guy like mom Donnie, we have to be 293 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 3: worried about that. 294 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, the outpouring of support from dog lovers, including in Congress. 295 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: A lot of your colleagues have some funny, funny posts 296 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: that I've been watching, But it's been just a tsunami 297 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: of support among dog owners saying thanks for coming to 298 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: our defense. 299 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because this is you know, this is as 300 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: American as it gets. It amazes me. This is not 301 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 3: an eighty twenty issue about dogs in the United States. 302 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 3: This is like a ninety nine to one. And what's 303 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 3: extraordinary is as dozens and dozens and dozens of Democrats 304 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 3: in Congress have lost their minds so that I should resign, 305 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 3: I should be censured all of these things, by the way, 306 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 3: they don't. They're not bothered by Democrats who steal five 307 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 3: million dollars. They're not bothered by Democrats as that doesn't 308 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 3: bother them. But as they say I should get in trouble, 309 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 3: not a single one of them has said, I disagree 310 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 3: with what Randy Fine said, but I'll fight like hell 311 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 3: to make sure those who want Sharia can't take away 312 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 3: your dog. Not a single one of them, not one, 313 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 3: not one has said I will make sure you can 314 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 3: keep your dog, which is, by the way, I have 315 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 3: introduced just today the Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act, which 316 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 3: would defund any city and any state anyone. I don't 317 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 3: know if the post is out yet, but the bill 318 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 3: is filed. Any city or any state that says you 319 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 3: can't own a dog, and we can laugh because it's 320 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 3: insane to think about. 321 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is it's a serious solo. 322 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 3: Doesn't like dogs. I'm not criticizing it. They just don't 323 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 3: like dogs, you know. I mean, that's okay, they're allowed, 324 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 3: but they just can't tell me I can't have a dog. 325 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an important piece. Look at that. 326 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: Some breaking news right here, some new legislation that has 327 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: a lot of common sense support all around America. Congressman, 328 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: we always enjoy you on the show. You give us 329 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: a lot to think about, and you're always clear. You 330 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: say what you mean, and you mean what you say. 331 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: Great to have you on. Thanks so much, sir. Good 332 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: to see it. Yeah, you as well. On a fund interview, folks. 333 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: We take a quick commercial break when we come back. 334 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: I've been telling you about cases to watch that are 335 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: election integrity centers. One is Louisiana and racial Jerry Manning. 336 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 1: Second is Mississippi and counting ballots after election day, which 337 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: potentially could be outlawed. The third is coming out of 338 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: the state of Missouri. It deals with census and counting 339 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: illegal aliens. The attorney general of that great State is 340 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: going to join us and tell us about her fight 341 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: to stop a census from counting legal aliens for apportionment 342 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: and representation. Big scoop coming up next, but Afterty's. 343 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 2: Mession, Welcome Back in America. 344 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: We've been talking on the show for quite some time 345 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: that one of the Democratic strategies for electioneering in America 346 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 1: is to make sure that illegal aliens count in the census. 347 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: Then they account for apportionment, which assigns federal funds, and 348 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: then any account for representation in Congress. A lot of 349 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: people have long felt that was unfair, and by the way, 350 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump changed it in twenty twenty, only to have 351 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden change it back in time for the twenty 352 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: twenty census. Joining us now is the Attorney general from 353 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: the Great City of Missouri who has gone to court 354 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: to challenge the notion that we should be assigning apportionment 355 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: and representation based on a legal alien. She is Attorney 356 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: General Katherine Hannimick, Attorney General. Great to have you on today. 357 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 4: Thanks so much for having me on, John. 358 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 5: I'm excited about this lawsuit and excited about winning Missouri's 359 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 5: fair share of members of Congress and federal dollars. 360 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is historic. 361 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: And you take this case alongside of what Louisiana is 362 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: doing with their Attorney general challenging race based districts, the 363 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: way politics have been conducted the last few years or 364 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: last few decades could be markedly altered for the future 365 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: of this country. 366 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 2: Tell us a. 367 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: Little bit about how illegal aliens got to be part 368 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: of the apportionment process, which I don't think anyone of 369 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: our founding fathers ever intended. 370 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 5: You know, that's such a great question, and when you 371 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 5: hear the answer, you'll say, oh, of course, that's what happened. 372 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,239 Speaker 5: So for the vast majority of our history, we did 373 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 5: not count illegal immigrants in the census, and then along 374 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 5: came Jimmy Carter, and Jimmy Carter decided just completely unilaterally, 375 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 5: that we'd start counting illegal immigrants, and we continued to 376 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 5: do so until President Trump was in office. The first 377 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 5: time he put an end to it, and of course 378 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 5: Joe Biden almost immediately reverse that decision, which is why 379 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 5: we sue. We are confident that the Census Bureau is 380 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 5: going to start to plan for a census in twenty 381 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 5: thirty where we don't count illegal immigrants, but We're going 382 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 5: to get a new president in twenty twenty eight, and 383 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 5: we just can't be assured that he'll do the right thing. 384 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 5: So if we have a court order, and I'm guessing 385 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 5: this is going to go all the way to the 386 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 5: US Supreme Court, we get that court order, then it'll 387 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 5: be permanent. 388 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 2: It's going to be important. 389 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: Back in the time when this language is embedded in 390 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: the Constitution, they just talked about counting the persons that 391 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: were on US soil. We didn't have an illegal immigration 392 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: problem back then. But where we are today, the Democrats 393 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: are going to say, well, persons means everybody, and we 394 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: say no, people lawfully on the ground. How do you 395 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: think this will work its way through the courts on 396 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: that definition of what our founding fathers intended. 397 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, so there is a lot of case law interpreting 398 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 5: what it means to be in the United States permanently, 399 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 5: and we believe that the founding fathers and the court 400 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 5: decisions interpreting those provisions since then intended it to be 401 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 5: people who were legally permanently in the United States. So 402 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 5: that would mean anyone who's a citizen and anyone who 403 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 5: is a permanent legal resident, meaning they have a green cart, 404 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 5: so it doesn't include people with temporary visus for work 405 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 5: or for school, and certainly was never intended to include 406 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 5: illegal immigrants. Just to give you some sense of the 407 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 5: impact of this, Los Angeles a loan has two million 408 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 5: illegal immigrants. That's roughly two congressional districts. There's only four 409 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 5: hundred and thirty five. 410 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 4: It's a math problem. 411 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 5: You divide four hundred and thirty five by the number 412 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 5: of people or vice versa, a number of people in 413 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 5: the country by four thirty five, and that tells you 414 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 5: how big age congressional district needs to be. 415 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 4: Well, if you take this as. 416 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 5: Two million away from Los Angeles, that decreases their representation 417 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 5: in Congress and increases it other places, including Missouri. 418 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, a place that doesn't have sanctuary cities or a 419 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: sanctuary state. 420 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 2: You follow the law in Missouri. What a what a 421 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: novel idea? 422 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: I want to turn Yeah, it does for the Democrats, 423 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: it does seem to be novel these days. 424 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: It's remarkable. I want to turn to some other great 425 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: work you're doing. 426 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: The first is obviously your predecessor, Andrew billy Now at 427 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: the FBI. He sued China on behalf of the people 428 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: of Missouri for the COVID nineteen outbreak. He won a 429 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: default judgment twenty for billion dollars. China now fighting back, 430 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: and you're not going to take any of that fight back. 431 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: You're going right back. Adam tell us the state of 432 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: the China v. Missouri Missouri v. China cases. 433 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 5: Well, and John, I have great news. It actually goes 434 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 5: back a little bit further. It was a Attorney General, 435 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 5: Eric Schmidt who brought the subs originally against China, and 436 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 5: the basis of the suit was that China had infected 437 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 5: our state with COVID and caused us a lot of 438 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 5: damage and then with held personal protective equipment. Andrew Bailey 439 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 5: won the case and now we have a twenty three 440 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 5: billion dollar judgment that we're seeking to enforce by seizing 441 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 5: assets belonging to the Chinese. 442 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 4: Obviously, this is a big. 443 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 5: International suit, and China suit us back for fifty billion 444 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 5: in Wuhan Province. And we've actually been in contact with 445 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 5: the administration because we want to make sure that we're 446 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 5: doing everything right and it doesn't hurt anyone else anywhere 447 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 5: in the country. And we've actually learned that our lawsuit 448 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 5: and Mississippi has a similar one. Have been important pieces 449 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 5: of leverage in discussions with China over trade talks, and 450 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 5: we're hopeful that we can get a settlement that's wrapped 451 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 5: into perhaps something that means more exports for the United States, 452 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 5: particularly of agricultural products. So it's a big, big win 453 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 5: for the United States and for the state of Missouri. 454 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 4: And I'm not too worried. Let's just put this way. 455 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 5: I'm never going to China, so I'm not too worried 456 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 5: about it. They have to put it from bots after 457 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 5: me and tried to damage my online reputation, but the 458 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 5: real lives of Missouri has mattered to me a lot 459 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 5: more than my online reputation. 460 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great way of that's a great way 461 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: of brushing that off. 462 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 2: That's the way it should be. 463 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: So this has a potential leverage tool in whatever the 464 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: tariff and trade deal between China and Missouri can play 465 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: a part in that, and then your citizens can benefit 466 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: from that final settlement. I have a novel approach of 467 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: how this will ultimately end up. You feel good that 468 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: the Trump administration can get the right deal for Missouri. 469 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 5: And I want to get it done during the Trump administration. 470 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 5: I think that's going to be the key to doing 471 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 5: it right. 472 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an important I'm going to be keeping a coas. 473 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: That's one of the most every time we write about 474 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: that case is one of the most popular things undersite. 475 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 2: People really really care about it. 476 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: Another place where you're winning that is the protection of 477 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: our young children in this country. And Missouri passed a 478 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: law banning sex change procedures for minors. It got challenged, 479 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: and you just wanted the Missouri Supreme Court. Huge, huge 480 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: victory for the children of Missouri and probably a model 481 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: for the rest of the country. 482 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 2: Tell us about that a little bit. 483 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, So our General Assembly did a great thing. They 484 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 5: banned any future gender reassignment therapy surgery for minors, and 485 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 5: it did get challenged all the way to the Missouri 486 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 5: Supreme Court. We won that case and so hopefully no 487 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 5: child will ever be so ejected to that kind of 488 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 5: mistreatment again. 489 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 4: And I'll mention one other thing. 490 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 5: We also put out a regulation requiring that people confirm 491 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 5: their age when going on pornographic sites, and the first 492 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 5: thing that happened was Pornhub pulled completely out of Missouri. 493 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 5: So when you stand up and fight for kids, and 494 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 5: do it aggressively, good things happen. 495 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people say in Missouri's not only 496 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: the show me stated, it's to show me how to 497 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: do the right things state. You guys are leading the 498 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: way for so many states to exercise their rights, even 499 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: when the federal government was a little adrift. 500 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:35,959 Speaker 2: Under Joe Biden. 501 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: I want to go back to where we started the conversation, 502 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: and that is with the census lawsuit in the Louisiana 503 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: reapportionment and the possibility that racial jerry manderin will be 504 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: ended by the Supreme Court. If you were to prevail 505 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: in the census, does it have any effect before twenty thirty? 506 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: Could you begin to challenge see if you got a 507 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: favorable really, could you challenge in the twenty eight and 508 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: thirty elections? 509 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: Or do you have to wait to the new sense? 510 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 4: No? 511 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 5: So, I mean we have asked for relief that would 512 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 5: go back and recalibrate the apportionment of congressional seats, electoral votes, 513 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 5: and federal money for twenty eight and thirty. 514 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 4: I don't know if we'll win on that. 515 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 5: That will be difficult because the other census data will 516 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 5: be ten years old and there will have been shifts 517 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 5: around the country. But if we win and Louisiana wins, 518 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 5: this is going to be a decade long impact on 519 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 5: elections in this country. It will have an impact on 520 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 5: who controls Congress and who wins the presidency. We just 521 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 5: from our lawsuit alone, project that somewhere between eleven and 522 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 5: fourteen congressional seats will move from places like New York 523 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 5: and California to places like Missouri, Tennessee, and Georgia. This 524 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 5: is a This is a case that really could last 525 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 5: for a couple of generations, and when you combine that 526 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 5: with Louisiana, it can make all the difference in who's 527 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 5: run in this country. 528 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: That's pretty amazing. 529 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: Is there any potential that the Trump administration, since you're 530 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: suing the US government Census Bureau, that they settle rather 531 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: than leave it to the judges to decide this Well, I. 532 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 5: Think that the Trump administration is smart enough to understand 533 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 5: that their settlement might be reversed by a future administration. 534 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 5: I think they might be sort of a friendly adversary that. 535 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 4: Goes with us all the way to the Supreme Court. 536 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 5: But if we could find some way to make that 537 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 5: settlement binding, obviously we'd take the settlement. 538 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, if not, the best way to make a 539 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: bonding is make sure the nine justices get it. That's 540 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: always the best way, Attorney General Kaplin. Anyway, you are 541 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: leading the way and so many things. I watched these 542 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: last few stories. It's such a great iron and front 543 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: to get you on the show. Thanks so much for 544 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: joining us. 545 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 4: John, Thank you so much. Really appreciate the opportunity to 546 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 4: be with you. 547 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 548 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: These are great stories, important stories, life changing stories. 549 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: So great to have you, all. 550 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: Right, folks, quick commercial break coming up next, we take 551 00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: a look at what our friends for the Open Hope 552 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: in the Books group. They do such amazing work tracking 553 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: how your tax dollars are spent, sometimes spent badly. They've 554 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: uncovered some new staff with my federal spending during the 555 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: COVID area. You're not going to be happy, but you'll 556 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: be enlighten. I'll have that next right after these messages. Hey, folks, 557 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: take a drive through any major city after sunset and 558 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: you'll notice something strange. 559 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 2: Dark windows, empty offices. Right now, one. 560 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 1: In five commercial buildings in America is sitting vacant. Even 561 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: here in Washington, DC, nearly a trillion dollars in real 562 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: estate loans are coming due this year. If those buildings 563 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: stay empty, the banks take a hit, and those are 564 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: the same banks where your retirement savings likely sit. There's 565 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: a new free report called the Ghost Tower Index that 566 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: breaks it all down. It uncovers seven early warning signs 567 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: that showed up before every major crash in nineteen twenty nine, 568 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: and all seven are active again right now.

Hour to believe it's been 579 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: almost two years now. How much fraud goes on a 580 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: year in the government. Some it goes to dead people, 581 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: some goes to illegal alien some go to foreign fraudsters. 582 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: The numbers are pretty astounding. Our next guest has put 583 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: pen to paper green shade in fact, and he has 584 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: the latest he's the CEO of one of my favorite groups, 585 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: Open the Books, which has a good does a great 586 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: job helping us all understand how our tax. 587 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 2: Mayn He is spending, he is spent.

Great to have you back on 589 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 2: the show. 590 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 6: John, it's great to be an again. Thanks for having me. 591 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: All Right, you've done Yeah, Yeah, Listen, this is an 592 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: important conversation. The only way we're ever going to fix 593 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: it is until people are so armed with the information 594 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: they actually make their lawmakers get it done. So you're 595 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: the front line of so much of the most valuable 596 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: information on this. You've got a pretty stunning number of 597 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: what's just lost to fraud in the ear. 598 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 6: Tell us what you found, Yeah, John, Look, I think 599 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 6: the reason, the reason I am hopeful, is that you 600 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 6: can't have accountability without visibility, and so it's vital that 601 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 6: we have transparency in our government. So that's what Open 602 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 6: the Books mission is, is to make sure every tax 603 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 6: payer has access to true information about where the money's going. 604 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 6: So what we found in those latest studies we looked 605 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 6: at something called improper payments. Now, improper payments it's bigger 606 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 6: than fraud. It's really an improper payment is a payment 607 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 6: that shouldn't be made either as an overpayment, right payment, 608 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 6: are the wrong person, And a lot of it is fraud. 609 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 6: And the biggest defender actually is CMS, which we see 610 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 6: a trend in that's the Center for Medicaid and mediker Services. 611 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 6: We see that all over the country, particularly in states 612 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 6: like you know, Minnesota and California. But John, the number 613 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 6: is really astonishing. So we really just kind of burn 614 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 6: and throw away about one hundred and eighty six billion 615 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 6: dollars a year just on improper payments. And the Trump 616 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 6: administration has made that number somewhat better. It really peaked 617 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 6: during COVID, where you had in some years three hundred 618 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 6: million dollars or i'm sorry billion or more just in 619 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 6: improper payments. And to put that in perspective, we're talking about, 620 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 6: you know, fourteen hundred dollars per household up to two 621 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 6: thousand dollars per household during the COVID year. Just in 622 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 6: other words, the average household is financing two thousand dollars 623 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 6: or fourteen hundred just on improper payments. And that's that's 624 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 6: really an astonishing number. And the reason if we step 625 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 6: back and really think about it, The reason this is happening, John, 626 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 6: is that we have a federal government that is too 627 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 6: big to succeed. We are entrusting way too much authority, 628 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 6: way too much power in a centralized federal government, when 629 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 6: we should be devolving a lot of that power to 630 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 6: the have an op ed. It just came out today 631 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 6: with David Walker, who's a comptroller general. He's an independent, 632 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 6: and you know, he and I agree that, you know, 633 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 6: one of the things we need to do is have 634 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 6: a twenty first century federalism approach and really rethink how 635 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 6: we structure and organize the federal government, because that's really 636 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 6: why we have these eye poppy numbers and we have 637 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 6: these just nauseating cases of fraud that we see all 638 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 6: over the country in states like Minnesota. 639 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: If you can afford to lose one hundred and eighty 640 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: six billion dollars a year and not whine about it, 641 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: you must be too big because you're not noticing that 642 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: level of money, and it's just crazy. We had David 643 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: Walker on in December. We'd spent a whole show on 644 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: fraud prevention. He had this really great approach to what 645 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: that twenty first century federalism looks like and it had 646 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: some pretty easy things that have been on the table 647 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: for years that no one gets done. Things like just 648 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: make sure every federal agency checks the death database before 649 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: they send out a payment, make sure that everybody checks 650 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: that the contractors are still valid. Lots of things that 651 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: would catch improper payments going out. Why is it that 652 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: Republicans who say they're the fiscal conservatives haven't implemented these things. 653 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Congress hasn't done anything. The Doge thing came 654 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: and went with no real measurable impact. 655 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they did do some things. I wish 656 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 6: they would have done a lot more. But there has 657 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 6: been progress made on get really attacking the improper payments issue. 658 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 6: You know, Senator Ernst, Senator Kennedy have done really good 659 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 6: work to really slow and stop the payments are good 660 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 6: to dead people, for instance. But you're right that not 661 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 6: enough has been done. Because the truth, John, is that 662 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 6: what happens in Congress is everybody wants to be kind 663 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 6: of a TikTok star, wants to be in the media, 664 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 6: and this is the nitty gritty, difficult work that it 665 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 6: really takes a lot of attention to detail to get 666 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 6: it done right. And I describe it. It's kind of 667 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 6: like what politicians want to do is they don't want 668 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 6: to pull weeds. They want to mow the flower bed 669 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 6: and claim credit for cutting spending. But actually doing it 670 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 6: is very, very difficult. Is you know, as my old boss, 671 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 6: Senator Coburn modeled, we cut spending very effectively during that era. 672 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 6: And look, I think the reason it's so important to 673 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 6: talk about this is this is a common sense, no 674 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 6: brainer reform. I don't think there's a single person in 675 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 6: the country that wants to see a dollar wasted on 676 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 6: an improper payment. And I don't care if you're a 677 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 6: Republican or Democrat or what ideology you have. No one 678 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 6: wants to see their money just you know, go up 679 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 6: in flames through improper payments. And so I think there 680 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 6: really ought to be a much more serious focus on 681 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,720 Speaker 6: both sides of the aisle to get to get Congress 682 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 6: as arms wrapped around this problem. But again, to do that, John, 683 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 6: I think it really takes a comprehensive look at the 684 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 6: massive size and scope of the administrative state. We have 685 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 6: over four hundred agencies and subagencies when the Constitution really 686 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 6: only said that we should have four or five at 687 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 6: the most and that's the conversation that we need to 688 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 6: have as a country, is to figure out what do 689 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,399 Speaker 6: we want the federal government to do and what should 690 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 6: the state governments do? And I think, I think if 691 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 6: we trust people of common sense, they'll they'll make the 692 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 6: right decision. And we just need a lot more common 693 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 6: sense in Washington than we see right now, no doubt. 694 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 2: All right. 695 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: When I first came to town, there was an old 696 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: Wisconsin senator by the name of Bill proxmoy I used 697 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: to do the Golden Fleece a board, and he said 698 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: that one of the greatest challenges that politicians face is 699 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: that they love to cut other people's money, but not 700 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: in my backyard. You had a good example of this recently. 701 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: We have a lot of members of Congress that have 702 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: been upset about wasteful spending in colleges, but when it 703 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: comes to their own almal monitors, they like setting up 704 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 1: some more money for them, don't. 705 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 2: They they do. 706 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, we put a report off that showed that, you know, 707 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 6: Congress has spent we call it, we call it the 708 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 6: Department of me where senators are sending you know, over 709 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 6: six hundred million dollars just on your marks to their 710 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 6: alma maters and senator, senator and McConnell, he was one 711 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 6: of the worst defenders. But there's a lot on both 712 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 6: sides of the aisle that have really, i think, really 713 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 6: misused their position to direct this money. And look, you know, 714 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 6: back in you know, when we were fighting earmarks in 715 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 6: the Senate, the argument we would make is, look, the 716 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,760 Speaker 6: effective senator or representative is not the one who sends 717 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 6: money back to the district. The effect of representative or 718 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 6: senator is the one that prevents money from leaving the district. 719 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 6: And that instead of celebrating ribbon cutting ceremonies hosted by politicians, 720 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 6: we should understand that every dollar saves in Washington is 721 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 6: a dream realized somewhere else in America, and instead focus 722 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 6: on expanding opportunity to give people the right to do 723 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 6: ribbon cutting ceremonies in their own personal life. You know, 724 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 6: to have the first first child, the first job, Those 725 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 6: are the those are the moments that matter in life 726 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 6: way more than some earmark to an alma mater. And 727 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 6: every every dollar we spend on these earmarks to me 728 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 6: or or senators are or it's a dollar that's not 729 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 6: available to help a family pursue their dream and their ambitions. 730 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: Every one of us are empowered to do some work 731 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: on this. That's what you created with Open the Books 732 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: dot com. It's such an extraordinary thing, John Hart. Great 733 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: to have you on the show every day. Thank you again, 734 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:04,479 Speaker 1: my friend. 735 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 6: Thanks Ton, appreciate it. 736 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, folks, Coming up next, we'll take a 737 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: quick look at what's being done to end the influence 738 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: of DEI and gender ideology and medicine. It's a game 739 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: of whacka mole, it really is. We're gonna have a 740 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: great conversation with Christine Rasmusen right after these message Welcome 741 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,800 Speaker 1: back in America. We spent a lot of time chronicling 742 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: the impact, the negative impact that DEI has had in 743 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 1: our education system and our government, in our ideology and culture, 744 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 1: and also in our medicine. Yes, there were places in 745 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: this country where race was being used as a determinant 746 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: about whether you would get the right care or not. 747 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: That sounds insane. That's what DEI meant in the medicine world. 748 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: Joining us now to bring us up to date on 749 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 1: all the efforts to eradicate that mindset and the game 750 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: of whacka mole. It sometimes Evolves is the executive director 751 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: of Do No Harm. Christina rest Mes. Christina, great to 752 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 1: have you back on. 753 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 7: Thank you so much for having me. 754 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: All right, before we get into all the great work 755 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,720 Speaker 1: and the updates, I don't think from people who haven't 756 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: heard of douno Harm. 757 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 2: You have such a powerful alliance. 758 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,439 Speaker 1: With the medical community. Talk a little bit about who 759 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: you are and who's part of you. 760 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 8: So Do No Harm is an organization that is focused 761 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 8: on keeping identity politics away from the study and practice 762 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 8: of medicine. If there's one thing that everyone can agree 763 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 8: on is that when we walk into the emergency room, 764 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 8: we don't really care what our doctor looks like. We 765 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 8: just want someone who knows what they're doing, who can 766 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 8: help us and our family. 767 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,240 Speaker 7: Members feel better. 768 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 8: Unfortunately, identity politics were seeping into medical schools as much 769 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 8: as they were undergraduate schools across the board. But don 770 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 8: Harm has had a lot of success, thanks in parts 771 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 8: to our fifty thousand members in beating back some of 772 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 8: these really dangerous trends. 773 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so important stuff. You've had an enormous amount 774 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: of back. All right, So a lot of places that 775 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: say all right, we're done with it. We got the message, 776 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: we don't want to tangle the dump administration. But then 777 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: they just kind of rebranded. It seems more like a 778 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: marketing exercise right now than a true effort to get 779 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: rid of DEI. Tell us some of the frustration or 780 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: the rebranding that's gone on. 781 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, So we saw essentially medical schools across America wholeheartedly 782 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 8: embrace DEI during the Biden years. The Trump administration comes 783 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,359 Speaker 8: in and says, no more, no more of this, shut 784 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 8: it down, otherwise you're going to lose funding. 785 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 7: Some schools did comply. 786 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 8: Some schools decided to get creative with the white out 787 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 8: and just rebrand. 788 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 7: Their DEI departments where they. 789 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 8: Have the same people with the same titles doing the 790 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 8: same gosh darn thing. But that's why Duna harm is here, 791 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 8: because we have tips that come in from across the 792 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 8: country at our website Dohrmmedicine dot org, and they'll say, Hey, 793 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 8: my school is still doing it. 794 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 7: I thought we were supposed to stop it. 795 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,720 Speaker 8: Please help, and we can get in there and shine 796 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 8: a light on it. And so you know, our attitude 797 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 8: is leave stone unturned. We're going to stop it wherever 798 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 8: it is, because when lives are on the line, you 799 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 8: cannot afford to prioritize anything other than merit. 800 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,760 Speaker 7: That is the only thing that should matter in medicine. 801 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and see hypocritic owth do no harm. Maybe that 802 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: was the thing we're not supposed to inject. Ideology is 803 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: supposed to deal to the medicine. Your name is so powerful, 804 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: your work is so powerful, And I think in the 805 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: last couple of months there have been some lasting changes, 806 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: the Plastic Surgeons Association and then the AMA both coming 807 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: out saying, you know what, we were for this for 808 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: a long time, but it's probably time to stop transgender 809 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:41,240 Speaker 1: surgeries on minors. That was a major u turn one. 810 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: Isn't for real in your mind? And if it is, 811 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: how impactful is it? 812 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:45,479 Speaker 7: Yeah? 813 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 8: I think the tide really is turning on this one, 814 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 8: particularly when it comes to kids. You know, a couple 815 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 8: of years ago, when we decided to take on this issue, 816 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 8: everyone felt they had to give lip service to this 817 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 8: idea of medicalizing kids who felt gender distress. Now you 818 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 8: see more and more doctors and nurses standing up and saying, hey, 819 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 8: you know what, there's no evidence for this. It doesn't 820 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 8: seem to lead to good outcomes. These kids are irreversibly changed. 821 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 8: They have lifelong consequences. They can't consent to this. You know, 822 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 8: maybe we should show a little caution, do no harm 823 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 8: and help these children, but not with these irreversible surgeries. 824 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 8: So it seems like this combined with the Trump administration 825 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 8: going full court press. Every day we see gender clinics 826 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 8: turning off, saying, hey, we're not doing this anymore. We're 827 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 8: going to shut down. It's just not worth it. The 828 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 8: Trump administration has really gone hard within the Medicare and 829 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 8: Medicaid systems, government healthcare programs that pay for a lot 830 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 8: of hospitals, saying you're not going to get reimbursed for 831 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 8: these procedures anymore, and if you do them at all, 832 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 8: we might kick you out the entire Medicare Medicaid program. 833 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 7: So I think the writing is on the wall. More 834 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 7: doctors are speaking up. 835 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,919 Speaker 8: And they're unafraid to say, hey, I've got reservations. 836 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 7: We seem to be going down the wrong path. Let's 837 00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 7: rethink this. 838 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,959 Speaker 1: One of the things we've learned about the twenty first 839 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: century medical profession is that there's been a lot of 840 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 1: scientific proclamations that ended up not having any science behind it. 841 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: Six foot distance between us during COVID, Anthony Fauci Midt, 842 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:17,280 Speaker 1: it didn't have any science behind it. Other mitigation circumstances, 843 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: lockdowns clearly actually had more negative than positive effect. But 844 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 1: in the transgender movement, recently the ACLU, which was arguing 845 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,439 Speaker 1: in the case for protecting these procedures from minus letting 846 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,799 Speaker 1: them to continue on our children, had to admit that 847 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: there was no evidence behind their claim that transgender surgeries 848 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: were actually saving lives or ending the suicide or lowering 849 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: the suicide capacity of gender confused children. That was a 850 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: pretty significant moment in what you normally is a technical 851 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: legal argument, another sign of a proclamation by the medical 852 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: community that didn't have any science behind it. 853 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, and honestly Europe figured this out before even we did. 854 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 8: A lot of the European countries were very early on 855 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,280 Speaker 8: saying hold up here, as tolerant is the next person, 856 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,280 Speaker 8: but something is really off here, and so we're playing ketchup. 857 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 7: But you know who else is playing at ketchup the 858 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 7: trial lawyers. 859 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 8: There was recently a major medical mid male decision in 860 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,279 Speaker 8: favor of a person who went through the surgeries as 861 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 8: a teenager, saying I could never have consented to this. 862 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 8: I was bullied into this, and you know, when the 863 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 8: trial lawyers smell money, it's game up, right, And so 864 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 8: we're going to see more detransitioners coming forward because they're 865 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 8: still hurting, they're still in pain, and in a lot 866 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 8: of cases, parents were bullied into this and signing up 867 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 8: for this. 868 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 7: And so I really do. 869 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 8: Think both culturally legally politically, the tide is changing here 870 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 8: and that is good news. And it goes to show that, 871 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 8: you know, if you have a little courage and speak up, 872 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 8: you can make a world of difference and really save lives. 873 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's true, no doubt. 874 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,799 Speaker 1: It's been proven in the last few years, including the 875 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: great work that your group does.

The biggest example 901 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 1: today in Great Britain, where the former Prince Andrew was 902 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: arrested at his home and authorities now acknowledging that they're 903 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,719 Speaker 1: looking at him for possible corrupt as when he was 904 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: working as a diplomat as a trade rep in his 905 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: royal capacity, he was apparently passing along secret information to 906 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: friends like Jeffrey Epstein. That's how they got him kind 907 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: of like al Capone was gotten by taxes, not mobster stuff. 908 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 1: When they ultimately got him joining right now, joining us 909 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: right now to bring us up to speed, US cur 910 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: law enforcement analysts and retire LPED officer ERF halliby erf 911 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: Great to have you. 912 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 9: On, Great to have you Great to be here, thanks, Sean. 913 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a pretty significant moment. It's kind of a 914 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 1: unique investigation. They don't get him on the sex trafficking 915 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 1: or the gory stuff that has long dogged him. They 916 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 1: get him on being so friendly to his Jeffrey Epstein 917 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,239 Speaker 1: that he was sending him things he shouldn't from his 918 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:05,879 Speaker 1: government job. 919 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 2: Yeah. 920 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 9: I will bet that they with the deep dive will 921 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 9: find even more information that he was passing on. You 922 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 9: don't just do something like this once, especially to curry 923 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 9: favor or if there was the blackmail story of some 924 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 9: of the hiding of his behavior. In addition to all 925 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:21,880 Speaker 9: of that, I think a lot of folks are going 926 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 9: to look past some of the sexual abuse because a 927 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 9: lot of the victims, except for Mischief Frey, a lot 928 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:30,799 Speaker 9: of the victims are afraid to come up and name 929 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 9: their accuser. I want that to happen a lot of 930 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 9: them you see on TV and they hold this against 931 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 9: President Trump or Pambondi and say, why aren't they doing something, 932 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 9: you know, make these names public. They can make these 933 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,839 Speaker 9: names public. There's nothing there's no hold harmless agreement, there's 934 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:49,400 Speaker 9: no NDA that they have to adhere to now. So 935 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,279 Speaker 9: I think they should come out and name names and 936 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 9: just be prepared to back it up with any kind 937 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 9: of documents. But Prince Andrew's in a world of hurt. 938 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty remarkable moment and more I assume to be had. 939 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,000 Speaker 1: This is a potential model for people here who are 940 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 1: frustrated that we didn't get the sort of justice that 941 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,240 Speaker 1: should have happened, maybe back in the Bush Justice Department 942 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 1: when they first caught Epstein and then gave him a 943 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 1: non prosecution agreement. But there are other things in these 944 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 1: documents that might be criminal that are still inside the statue, 945 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: even if they're not gutting for the sexcapades. You think 946 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,759 Speaker 1: that might happen hidden here in America a little bit too. 947 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think there's some statute of limitations issues on 948 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 9: some things, but I do think that it's definitely the 949 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 9: will of the people, and behind the scenes there's a 950 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 9: lot of digging deep. Look, the Democrat Party is the 951 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,319 Speaker 9: one that has the most to lose. It's funny they've 952 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 9: been the ones to push push, let's release it, but 953 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,879 Speaker 9: only under President Trump. Except President Trump was the one 954 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 9: that removed Jeffrey Epstein and referred him to prosecution for 955 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,719 Speaker 9: prosecution away from from his Mara lago. You don't see 956 00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 9: this with Bill Clinton. What is it more than a 957 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,880 Speaker 9: dozen times even close to two dozen times Jeffrey Epstein 958 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 9: visited the White House. That's disgusting and the behavior of 959 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 9: President Clinton. Maybe he should be one that's also brought 960 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 9: to justice. 961 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and soon to be brought before Congress to give 962 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 1: a sworn deposition. Going to be interesting to see what 963 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 1: comes out of that. 964 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 2: Moment. 965 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,799 Speaker 1: There is a lot of royal family dysfunction right now. 966 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 1: Obviously the soon to be king, Prince William doesn't have 967 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 1: much fondness for Andrew. But Andrew's former wife, Sarah Ferguson, 968 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 1: she hasn't heard or seen from recently. 969 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 2: What do we know about that? 970 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, she's been on the run now they'll say, no, 971 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 9: not on the run, just in hiding. But their two 972 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 9: daughters are also I think victims in this story. And 973 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,480 Speaker 9: to think about Prince Andrew doing things to those young 974 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,799 Speaker 9: women at the same age that his daughters were at 975 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 9: the time are pretty darn close. It's pretty the alleged 976 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,040 Speaker 9: issues anyway, pretty disgusting to think about. Friggie is on 977 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 9: the run some we'll say, some will say she's in 978 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 9: the last scene in the United Arab Emirates. Some talk, 979 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 9: and it's a bit more than just gossip and tabloid 980 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,280 Speaker 9: and that is that Prince Andrew might flee the country. 981 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,960 Speaker 9: They should have removed his passport. That's normally what you 982 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,279 Speaker 9: would do, and they would well, at least in some 983 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 9: cases keep him away from the airports. But there's talk 984 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 9: he might flee the United Arab Emirates or China, both 985 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 9: without any extradition to Great Britain. 986 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: Extraordinary, Eric Allaby, great to have you on and have 987 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 1: your expertise.
