1 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: Good evening, everyone, welcome the stinchfield in the FBI's quest 2 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: to secretly get Trump. 3 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 2: You know what the FBI did. 4 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: It secretly subjected hundreds of Americans to unwarranted surveillance, invading 5 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: their privacy through all kinds of tactics. This as John 6 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: Solomon over at Just the News is reporting that they 7 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: basically treated President Trump as a national security risk. 8 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,959 Speaker 2: Listen to what John is reporting. 9 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: Four separate operations, two of them I had heard of, 10 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: of course. There's Crossfire Hurricane at the top of the list. 11 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: The other is Round River, Plasmic Echo, and then Arctic Frost. 12 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: We've heard of those. 13 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: But these were secret operations inside the FBI designed to 14 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: stop President Trump. They went after members of Congress, they 15 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: went after anyone close to President Trump. They even went 16 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: after Cash Bettel, the now director of the FBI, surveiling 17 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: his records. Now twelve hundred people, John reports, we're part 18 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: of these quote special circumstances when it comes to the surveillance, 19 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: special circumstances targets. To me, this is so far out 20 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: of bounds, so far out of the lines of what 21 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: our government is supposed to be doing. You may remember 22 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: they were surveilling members of Congress. Anybody they thought that 23 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: would help them get Trump is who was in their crosshairs, 24 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: and now John Solomon's exposing it. I want to bring 25 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: in now host of Justinews no Noise, John Solomon from 26 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: justin News, John my friend, Welcome. 27 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: To the program. 28 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:01,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, good to be with you, grants. 29 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: John. 30 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: I guess I left somebody off the list. I think 31 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: you were targeted. 32 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: Were you not? 33 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: Well find out. 34 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 4: I do know from my interactions in twenty twenty two 35 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 4: that the Southern District of New York had identified me 36 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 4: as a subject of a criminal investigation concerning my reporting 37 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 4: about Hunter Biden. They were concerned that maybe I had 38 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 4: taken Russian disinformation from Rudy Giuliani or people around Rudy 39 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 4: Giuliani and reported. It turns out all those Russian disinformation 40 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 4: things were actually facts that turned out to be true. 41 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 4: And what the government found out when I cooperated with 42 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 4: them is that I didn't get my stuff from Rudy 43 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 4: Giuliani or from Russians or Ukrainians. I actually had a 44 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 4: large part of the FBI's files on Hunter Biden, files 45 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 4: that were created even before his laptop had been obtained 46 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 4: by the FBI. I got him in December twenty eighteen, 47 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 4: and it showed that the FBI had these concerns about 48 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 4: Hunter Biden's behavior, particularly in Ukraine, particularly concerns that he 49 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 4: didn't pay taxes on some of the money that he 50 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 4: had earned in Ukraine, something that years later would be 51 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 4: corroborated by the irs whistleblowers and the eventual tax case 52 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 4: against them. So the second the government found out that 53 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 4: what I had was from the FBI's files, they didn't 54 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 4: want to have anything more to do with me. 55 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 3: They shut down the investigation. I moved on. 56 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 4: I think there's some evidence that that may be connected 57 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 4: to an operation called round River, which is one of 58 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 4: those four investigations you just mentioned. Rownd River was created 59 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 4: in late nineteen and early twenty and basically it created 60 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 4: speech deliberatives. If you talked a certain way about Hunter 61 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 4: Biden in Ukraine, you might have been deemed a Russian 62 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 4: disinformation artist and subjected and treated as a national security threat. 63 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 4: Certainly Rudy Giuliani was treated that way, we believe many 64 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 4: others were. That's one of the four counterintelligence investigations that 65 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 4: basically treated President Trump like a national security threat for 66 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 4: nine consecutive years. For the beginning of twenty sixteen or 67 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 4: the middle of twenty sixteen to the beginning of twenty 68 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 4: twenty five, these feign investigations continuously targeted President Trump and 69 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 4: his followers. It's pretty extraordinary to think that the FBI 70 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 4: thought a man the American public twice elected as president 71 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 4: to them they saw a security threat. 72 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: John, It's amazing to me. 73 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: You know, round River was going to be one of 74 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: the last questions I was going to ask you, but 75 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: you explained that was surrounding Rudy Giuliani. 76 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: I believe you're probably right. You probably were caught up 77 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: in some of that. 78 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: I guess the question I'm going to ask you first 79 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: before we get into some of the nitty gritty details, 80 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: is when you look at hundreds of Americans, from members 81 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: of Congress to innocent civilians being caught up in this surveillance, 82 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: which I believe actually was illegal, is there any criminal 83 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: culpability in this? Is the FBI looking at offering warrants 84 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: up for these people that were involved in this of 85 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: the statute of limitations run out, isn't a possibility to 86 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: go after anybody criminally? 87 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 4: Well, it is funny you should ask that because just 88 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 4: a little bit ago, sitting in the seat right next 89 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 4: to me was the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, 90 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 4: Harmy Dillon, who said, tonight, I absolutely see some criminality 91 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 4: and what went on here, and I'm very concerned about it, 92 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 4: and I think you could make a conspiracy case. Obviously, 93 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 4: she can't talk about the specifics yet, but what we 94 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 4: do know from our reporting is that that conspiracy case 95 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 4: resides down in Florida, in the hands of the US 96 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 4: Attorney in Miami in a grand jury that's been meeting 97 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 4: for several weeks now in Fort Pierce, Florida. We know 98 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 4: that people like John Brennan, the former CIA director, and 99 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 4: others are. 100 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 3: Being reviewed in that grand jury. 101 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 4: Proceedings, and we expect some activity to come out in 102 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 4: the next few weeks. There's been a delayed the Senate, 103 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 4: the same Senate that doesn't want to vote on the 104 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 4: Save America Actor do a lot of other things that 105 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 4: the American people are clamoring for. They haven't yet sent 106 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 4: the transcripts over that the prosecutors requested weeks ago. That's 107 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 4: a point of frustration, I think for the prosecutors and 108 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 4: the FBI, but they'll eventually get transmitted and that'll allow 109 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 4: the case to proceed for but Harmeat Dylan clearly talking 110 00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 4: about that tonight. 111 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 3: And then in the third block of my show, I 112 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 3: brought on. 113 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 4: The FBI agent that used to do the review of 114 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 4: phone records like what Cash Bettel went through recently or 115 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 4: Susie Wiles, two people that were targeted. He did it 116 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 4: in an earlier era when there were much more significant 117 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 4: protections applied to phone records. And he said, I absolutely 118 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 4: see criminality in what you've reported, and I absolutely believe that. 119 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 4: At the end of my FBI career, he left in 120 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 4: fifteen or sixteen after a very storied career. He helped 121 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 4: salve the Coobar Towers terrorism bombing that Iron was involved in. 122 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,799 Speaker 3: Kind of relevant today. 123 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 4: He ran the effort to track down terrorists after nine 124 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 4: to eleven, very decorated, respected FBI just said, at the 125 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 4: end of my career, I sought the FBI leadership start 126 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 4: to pick people who were not good at solving crimes, 127 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 4: who weren't skilled and what FBI agents normally were skilled in, 128 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 4: they were skilled in political sentiments, and the FBI. 129 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 3: Was bringing them in in droves. 130 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 4: And I saw then the beginning of what you now 131 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 4: have exposed they brought political people in to create political weaponization, 132 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,119 Speaker 4: to harm a political consequence. And then he talked about 133 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 4: how some of the records are some of the rules 134 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 4: for monitoring phone records are being changed at the end 135 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 4: of the Obama administration, and he said, very prophetically, I 136 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 4: believe those changes were being made for a political operation 137 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 4: that would lay ahead. Meaning what happened to Donald Trump? 138 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 4: Really amazing conversations we had here in real America's voice today. 139 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: Amazing, to say the least. 140 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: Army Dylan, as you know, I have great respect for 141 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: fabulous prosecutor. Now, my biggest concern is that we've heard 142 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: this all before about I see evidence of wrongdoing. We 143 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: see it in Georgia. I heard an FBI agent saying, say, 144 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,679 Speaker 1: there's evidence of irregularities, and joy we know with Fauchi, 145 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: Oh there's evidence. 146 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: But then nothing gets done. 147 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: And I hope something comes of this, John, Is there 148 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: any chance that it will? I don't know how you 149 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: would would know this unless you're inside the mind of 150 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: Pam Bondy. 151 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 4: I guess listen, I think Pambondy's already made the big decision, 152 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 4: which is to kick out of Washington, send it down 153 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 4: to Florida and let these prosecutors in Florida. By the way, 154 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 4: there's some really great career prosecutors in the Miami office. 155 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: Some of them grew up in Cuba and fled, or 156 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: their families fled Cuba. 157 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 4: They don't want to see America become what their families 158 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 4: had to flee Cuba from. They're at the forefront of 159 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 4: this investigation. I think we'll see some progress, We'll get 160 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 4: some answers. I think there are some very big actions 161 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 4: occurring inside the FBI right now as we speak, in 162 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 4: the last week, particularly with the discovery of the Round 163 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 4: River records. Those are being declassified soon to be made public. 164 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 4: We'll find out if the speech delimiters were actually true, 165 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 4: things that were made to look by the FBI to 166 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 4: be disinformation. I think there'll be a lot of satisfaction 167 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 4: in the next few months. But Harmei Dillon addressed it. 168 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 4: He said, I understand the frustration, and she revealed something 169 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 4: tonight that. 170 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 3: I didn't know. 171 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 4: Her law firm records were targeted as part of these investigations. 172 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 4: She said, the Democrats were trying to figure out what 173 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 4: cases we were doing as Republican lawyers. And that concerns 174 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 4: the living days. She also said something else, she was 175 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 4: down in Maericopa County. That's where this week the FBI 176 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 4: executed a grand jury subpoena to go get records, and 177 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 4: I saw really bad behavior going on in Americopa County. 178 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 3: I assure you it's going to be brought to an end. 179 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 3: So someone who is a victim and who witnessed some 180 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 3: of the stuff, assuring the American public tech we're going 181 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 3: to get to the bottom of it. 182 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 1: I want people to understand at home, how outside the 183 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: bounds of a representative democracy, a free country where the 184 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: government's supposed to be by and for the people, not 185 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: working against political enemies and foes. To me, this is 186 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: so deceitful on behalf of the left, on behalf of. 187 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: The Biden administration. 188 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: I think it goes all the way back to Barack Obama, 189 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: the transformation of the FBI and the henchmen for the left. 190 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: And I'm so grateful you exposing all of this really 191 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: quickly if you can. 192 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: John, I guess last question. 193 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: For you, was there any evidence we know the evidence 194 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: goes to Merrick Garland that the former Attorney general was 195 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: behind a lot of this does it go, Oh, did 196 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: Joe Biden himself? 197 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: Did Joe Biden have any role in all of this? 198 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: Real quick if you can for me, John. 199 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 4: I think both Obama and Biden have to be that 200 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 4: question has to be addressed by the prosecutors. We know 201 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 4: they sat in meetings in twenty sixteen where they plotted 202 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 4: out some of the Russia collusion investigation that would. 203 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: Follow after they left office. 204 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 4: I think they're looking at those issues now and we'll 205 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 4: get to the bottom of it. And I also will 206 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 4: bring up Chris Ray. He presided over a large part 207 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 4: of this. A lot of people don't talk about him 208 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 4: in the same vein as James Gomi. I think there's 209 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 4: growing concern that what went on at Chris Ray's watch 210 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 4: is very disturbing. 211 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: Well, if anybody's going to expose it, John Solomon and 212 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: just the news is But you're amazing.

No more new wars. 223 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: That was President Trump's promise, right. I think he's living 224 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: up to his promise. President Trump said he would get 225 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: us out of wars. This war in Iran has been 226 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: going on for forty seven years. To my conservative friends 227 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: out there, knock off the nonsense. Oh, we didn't vote 228 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: for this. We don't want more wars. This is not 229 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: about a new war. This is about ending a forty 230 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: seven year campaign to destroy American lives, to end them that. 231 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: On behalf of Iran. Well, I have good news to report. 232 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: We are winning. 233 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: This is new video that you're looking at right here 234 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: of the United States military destroying annihilating, to use President 235 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: Trump's terms, naval ships that are owned by Iran and 236 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: operated by Iran. That navy has been obliterated. So the 237 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: update right now is very very good. President Trump said, 238 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: you know what, maybe not day is this being over, 239 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: but very very soon. 240 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: Here's Caroline Levitt today, more than. 241 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 5: Five five thousand enemy targets have been struck so far. 242 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 5: Iran's ballistic missile attacks are down more than ninety percent, 243 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 5: and their drone attacks are down by approximately eighty five 244 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 5: percent since the start of Operation Epic Fury. The United 245 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 5: States is also annihilating the Iranian regimes navy, and we 246 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 5: have destroyed more than fifty Iranian naval vessels, including a 247 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 5: major drone carrier ship. 248 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: You want to know, the biggest mistake that America could 249 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: make right now is not finishing the job, is somehow 250 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: ending this special Operation Epic Fury before we have to 251 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: use the administration's terms, annihilated every piece of the Iranian 252 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: military equipment and leadership. There's no sign of that happening. 253 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: By the way, it looks like the hammer has been 254 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: put down. Pete Hageseth says, you know what today is 255 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: going to be a big day. 256 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 2: Listen. 257 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 6: Today will be yet again our most intense day of 258 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 6: strikes inside Iran, the most fighters, the most bombers, the 259 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 6: most strikes, intelligence, more refined and better than ever. 260 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: So that's on one hand. 261 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 6: On the other hand, the last twenty four hours have 262 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 6: seen Iran fire the lowest number of missiles they've been 263 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 6: capable of firing. 264 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: Yet I wonder why, maybe because we're blowing their missile 265 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: installations to smithereens, including ones on wheels, which are still 266 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: difficult to find, but we're slowly destroying all of them. 267 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: I want to bring in now to discuss this. Former 268 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: United States Special Envoy for Nuclear non Proliferation, Ambassador Robert 269 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: Joseph is with us. 270 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: Mister ambassador, Welcome to the program, sir. 271 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 7: Well, good evening, and thank you very much for having 272 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 7: me on your program. It's a true honor. 273 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: Well, well, the honor is mine, sir. We got some 274 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: good news today. I wanted to touch on and get 275 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: your comments on this up to thirty one on separate 276 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: operations from Iranian resistance groups that have gone on in 277 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: twenty cities including Tehran, blowing up command centers, lighting fires 278 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: at many of the military bases. This is huge that 279 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: these resistance groups are now operating on the ground inside Iran. 280 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: Can you expound on that for me, Ambassador Well. 281 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 7: I think this is really the key to success, because 282 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 7: if this regime survives in any form, it's a win 283 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 7: for the it's a win for the other side. There 284 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 7: is a democratic alternative that's out there. We've seen the 285 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 7: Iranian people rise up time and time again, including in 286 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 7: January at great cost to life, with estimates of over 287 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 7: thirty thousand individuals mass murdered in the streets. I think 288 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 7: the President, in addition to setting the military objectives eliminating 289 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 7: the ballistic missile three, the drone threat, the Navy, the Air Force, 290 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 7: cutting off Iran from its terrorist proxies. In addition to 291 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 7: these military objectives, he has talked about the need for 292 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 7: regime change, not with American boots on the ground, but 293 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 7: by the Iranian people, for the Iranian people. And I 294 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 7: think that's what you're referring to. And I think, as 295 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 7: I said, if we're going to succeed, that must succeed 296 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 7: as well. This regime must be ended because if it 297 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 7: doesn't end, I can guarantee you, based on all of 298 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 7: my experience, that the regime will fast track it to 299 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 7: a nuclear weapon and we will once again be confronted 300 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 7: with the choice of fighting them now or fighting them 301 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 7: with a nuclear weapon. 302 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: And that's an easy choice. 303 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: I think this is what President Trump was considering when 304 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: he decided to launch the attacks inside Iran. I want 305 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: you to listen to Steve Wigloff now here. Here's the 306 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: dilemma we know that lies. We know China lies. We 307 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: know Russia lives. Our enemies lie. We know that, but 308 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: when they offer up something as serious as a nuclear bomb, 309 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: and Sir, your specialty is nuclear proliferation, I want you 310 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: to listen to what Steve Whitcoff said the Iranians were 311 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: telling them and then explain to me why President Trump 312 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: did what he did. 313 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 8: Roll that to start the conversation off with the predicate 314 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 8: that they're entitled to enrich with the further predicate that 315 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 8: they've got eleven bombs worth of enrichment material a week 316 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 8: to a week and a half away from being weapons grade, 317 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 8: and that they weren't going to give to us diplomatically 318 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 8: what they claim we couldn't win from a military standpoint. 319 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 8: That was reason enough for US to determine that they 320 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 8: weren't there to be purposefully negotiating a diplomatic settlement. 321 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: Sir, I guess in the end you have to believe 322 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: Iran there, even though they could be fibbing. But you 323 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: have to God forbid they were to set a nuclear 324 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: bomb off before we acted. 325 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 7: Well, if their lips are moving, they're lying now. In 326 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 7: this case, I happen to believe that it could be 327 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 7: true because we do know from previous evidence that Iran 328 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 7: had enriched up to sixty percent in terms of the 329 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 7: enrichment level of the uranium, enough material for eleven nuclear weapons. 330 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 7: It's a short it's a short step from sixty to 331 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 7: weapons grade, and I think that's what they were threatening, 332 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 7: and nuclear the pursuit of a nuclear weapon is in 333 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 7: the DNA of this regime. And that's why I say 334 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 7: we've got to finish the job, because it was the 335 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 7: nuclear issue that brought us to this point. 336 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 9: In the first instance. 337 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 7: The President made every effort to negotiate and have a 338 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 7: diplomatic outcome, but onlike previous presidents, he rejected a piece 339 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 7: and he said, we have to have an effective agreement 340 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 7: that forecloses permanently the option for Iran to have a 341 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 7: nuclear weapon. They rejected that, and they began to reconstitute 342 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 7: their enrichment capability, and I'm sure the weaponization that follows well. 343 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: As p Hegseth said, our Secretary of War, it's not 344 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. 345 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 2: You brought up what I brought up. 346 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: I think it's imperative that the job is absolutely finished 347 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: here by All indications are that the Trump administration will 348 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: do just that. Ambassador Robert Joseph. It's a great pleasure 349 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: having you on the program. I appreciate your insight. 350 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: And all this. Please come back. Thank you, sir, absolutely 351 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 2: and thank you. 352 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: Look, you put yourself in President Trump's shoes here. What 353 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: else are you going to do? You've got to act 354 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: before they do something. And that's what President Trump did. 355 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: God bless him. He's ending a forty seven year war, 356 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: not starting a new one. All right, I want to 357 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: turn out a Save Act, something that is very, very important. 358 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: John Thune is now a complete dis grace. I'm sorry 359 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: to say it. I know he's a Republican. He may 360 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: be a nice guy. I don't know him. I've never 361 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: met the man. I don't even think I've ever interviewed him. 362 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: Maybe once. But he put out a tweet that read 363 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: this tweet nineteen. By the way, the guy's behind the glass. 364 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: This is from an NBC reporter. I asked Thoon if 365 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: he feels pressure to pass the Save America Act, mounting 366 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: quote A. 367 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 2: Lot of that. 368 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: It's in that kind of you know, paid influencer ecosystem. 369 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: Hey Thoon, are you freaking kidding me? 370 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: This is the one issue nobody needs to pay anybody 371 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: to push to Save America Act. Every conservative influencer I 372 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: know is one hundred percent behind the Save America Act 373 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: pushing it not for paid money, for free. This is 374 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: not an influencer campaign. This is a save America campaign. 375 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: This is anybody committed to this nation having a future. 376 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 2: But Boone isn't committed to that. 377 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say some harsh words to the man right 378 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: now and can change things around very quickly. You want 379 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: to see an example of inept leadership, of inefficient leadership, 380 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: and quite frankly disappointing leadership. 381 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 10: Roland, we don't have the votes either to proceed get 382 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 10: on a talking filibuster, nor a sustained one if we 383 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 10: got on. 384 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: But that is just a function of mouth. 385 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 10: And there is anything I can do about that. 386 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 2: Oh, there's a lot you can do about at pal. 387 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this is so maddening to me because I'm 388 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: sick of watching United States senators, specifically Republicans, walk in 389 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: cements shoes in Washington, DC. 390 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: It's a swamp. 391 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: Put your rubber boots on, getting a boat, start making 392 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: some progress. 393 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: They can't do it. This is disgraceful. 394 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 10: Listen again, and I understand the President's got a passion 395 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 10: to see this issue addressed, as we all do. Does 396 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 10: he understand that though, Well, we've conveyed that to him. 397 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 10: But we will continue to make that argument because I 398 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,120 Speaker 10: think it's important that everybody understand that this really is. 399 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 10: It's about the votes, it's about the math. 400 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: You have the goal to tell the American people. President 401 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: Trump doesn't understand what's at state, doesn't understand how Washington operates. 402 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: The reason we elected him is because we don't want 403 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: Washington operating the way it always operates. The reason President 404 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: Trump is losing patients is because. 405 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 2: Y'all up there in the UNI Party are. 406 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: Toasting your scotches in the basement of the Capitol, when 407 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: the American people are going to suffer at the hands 408 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: of Democrats if we don't get this thing passed soon again. 409 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 10: And I think that we're going to have the fight 410 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 10: on the floor. We're going to vote on this, We're 411 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 10: going to put it out and we'll give the Democrats 412 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 10: the opportunity to cast their vote on whether or not 413 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 10: they think non citizens ought to vote in American elections. 414 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: That's not the way to do it, because the Democrats 415 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: don't care about what they look like their side will 416 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: vote for him anyway, even though they agree with voter 417 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: ID and huge numbers. 418 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 2: Harry Enton again from CNN, and. 419 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 11: What's the racial breakdown on this, right, Because I think 420 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 11: a lot of people make the argument that people of color, 421 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 11: non white Americans have a harder time procuring. 422 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 2: A photo ida vote. 423 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 11: But even here, take a look here favorite photo ida vote. 424 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 11: Eighty five percent of white people favorite, eighty two percent 425 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 11: of Latino, seventy six percent of Black Americans favorite. So 426 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 11: the bottom line is this voter ID is not controversial 427 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 11: in this country. A photo ida vote is not controversial 428 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 11: in this country. 429 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 2: That's CNN. We all know it's not controversial. 430 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: The only ones that believe it's controversial or elected leaders 431 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: that have a d NEX to their name because they 432 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: use it to cheat the lack of voter ID and 433 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: proving you're an American citizen. Now, I'm gonna do Thune's 434 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: job for him here, Okay, there are some ways to 435 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: get this through. Talking filibuster is not gonna work. I 436 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 1: already know it's not gonna work. You're not gonna get 437 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: enough of these Republican senators on board. So the worst 438 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: case scenario here, if you can't get this passed through 439 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: a talking filibuster or throwing out the filibuster altogether. That's 440 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: sixty vote minimum. Then you've got to go to reconciliation. 441 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: Reconciliation is a budgetary maneuver. 442 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 2: You only need fifty one votes to pass. 443 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: Now, you can't pass policy with reconciliation, but you can 444 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: pass financial restrictions. 445 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 2: So here's what you do. You don't be Republicans. 446 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: Write the bill into a reconciliation package that's tied to 447 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: the budget that there will be no money for any 448 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 1: state that does not have voter ID or proving you're 449 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: an American citizen to it. No money, I mean for everything. 450 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: You want election security grants in your state, well you 451 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: don't get those either unless you have voter ID and 452 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 1: proof you're an American citizen. Money talks, not just in 453 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: Washington but around the country. And these idiots in Washington, 454 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they don't want it. And I believe 455 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: it's because they don't want to upset their Democrat friends, 456 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: because they're all buddies up there, and even with President 457 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: Trump in office, they're quietly smiling. 458 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 2: The joke is on all of us. 459 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: Well, guess what the jig is up, the joke's on them, 460 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: and we're fed up. So now, folks, I'm telling you 461 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: it is up to you. The only way we get 462 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: any action on this is all of you holding these 463 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: elected leaders accountable. 464 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 2: Democrat Republican. 465 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: No more photos with them when you go to a 466 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: town hall meeting, no more shaking their hands, no more 467 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: sucking up to them.

I believe it's sabotage of 500 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: President Trump. This is the Heritage Foundation's senior economist on 501 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: Fox Business. 502 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 12: I know there's a lot of anxiety around the reparations conversation, 503 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 12: but I was proud to be the first governor of 504 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 12: America to sign a reparations bill. In fact, the first 505 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 12: task for horse meeting was last Friday. 506 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: Guys, Gavin Newsom is great, but that's that's not the 507 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: that's not the sound bite we need. And Gavin Newsom 508 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: is not good at all. By the way, do we 509 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: have it? 510 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 2: The last thing I want to do is here, Gavin 511 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 2: Newsom roll it. 512 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 13: There was a big study by Deutsche Bank who looked 513 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 13: at at past oil price shocks and they concluded that 514 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 13: when the economy is as strong as it's been, what 515 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 13: about two or three percent growth depending on how you measure. 516 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 3: Right. 517 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 13: This is not the nineteen seventies. Remember the Nixon shock 518 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 13: came before the oil embargo, So when an economy is 519 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 13: strong like this, they felt that the real risk here 520 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 13: is only if the FED panics and the hikes, raids. 521 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: And in many respects work does nothing, which again I 522 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: think is sabotage. Now the US Economic Freedom Score is 523 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: out from the Heritage Foundation. 524 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: Look at this. 525 00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: Chart because under President Trump, in just two years, it's 526 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: on the rise. 527 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 2: Now, look where it went from Joe Biden. 528 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: Decrease, decreased, decrease all the way to twenty twenty four 529 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: to seventy point four. Now in Trump in twenty twenty five, 530 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty six seventy two point eight, we 531 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: are back on the rise. That's an important barometer right there. 532 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: I want to bring in with us now our good friend, 533 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: senior fellow at Unleashed Prosperity EJ Antoni, is with us. 534 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 2: EJ. Welcome to the program. 535 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 3: Well great, thanks for having me. 536 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 2: Absolutely so. 537 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: I've been looking at this freedom score for a long time, 538 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: specifically economic freedom score. This seems to be good news 539 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: that we're moving in the right direction, but the media 540 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: tells us this just isn't the case. 541 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 2: EJ. 542 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 14: Yeah, Well, Grant, I want to draw a distinction here 543 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 14: between economic freedom and economic growth. Now, obviously those two 544 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 14: things are very tightly correlated, right, You only get strong 545 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 14: economic growth when people are free to create it. And 546 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 14: so that's why if you look at this ranking and 547 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 14: you see the nations that are the most free, they 548 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 14: tend to have the most not only economic growth, but 549 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 14: the most human flourishing. Standards of living are higher, costs 550 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 14: of living are lower. Sure, a country like communists China 551 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 14: has had plenty of economic growth, at least according to 552 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 14: the Chinese Communist Party. But whatever the case, you haven't 553 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 14: seen that prosperity reach the people, right, It has stayed 554 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 14: in the corrupt government over there, Whereas in nations like 555 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 14: the United States and others that have a high degree 556 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 14: of economic freedom, you do see that prosperity really reaching everybody, 557 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 14: not just staying with some kind of elite ruling class 558 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 14: and government officials. Let's say, and under President Trump, chiefly 559 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 14: because of the massive regulatory rollback that we've seen over 560 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 14: the last twelve months or so, we now have a 561 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 14: higher ranking for the first time in five years. Think 562 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,479 Speaker 14: of that, we had five years of decreases. We're finally 563 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 14: back on the rise. 564 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: But then you talk about being empowered and the people 565 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: being empowered. This is Congressman Jason Smith telling a story 566 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: about one of his constituents. 567 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 15: Do you know, just two weeks ago, I was traveling 568 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 15: throughout my district and I talked to a young lady 569 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 15: who came up to me and was so excited and 570 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 15: wanted to thank me. Her tax refund was over ten 571 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 15: thousand dollars. She was a waitress, no tax on tips, 572 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 15: she had children, with the increased child deduction, these were 573 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 15: things that drastically affected her bottom line, all. 574 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: Right, ej that's all part of the big beautiful bill, 575 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: which were just now starting to see some of the 576 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: benefits of that bill. I would take a lower tax 577 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: structure for everyday folks out there would be part of 578 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: economic freedom. 579 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: Correct. 580 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 14: Well, absolutely, you know, the regulatory component was the biggest 581 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 14: part of the increase, but it wasn't the only one. 582 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 14: Things like a judicial system that's more likely to uphold 583 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 14: track law and property rights because it's no longer hyper 584 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 14: focused on DEI or ESG or any of that other nonsense, right, 585 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 14: but instead is actually abiding by the rule of law. 586 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 14: That helps as well. And you're absolutely right, Grant the 587 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 14: tax cuts allowing people to keep more of their money 588 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 14: is another component that helped give that index a boost 589 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 14: over the last year. And it's not just a matter 590 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 14: of that you get to keep more of your money, 591 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 14: but it's specifically how these tax cuts are structured. They 592 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 14: are mostly pro growth and pro work incentives. In other words, 593 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 14: in the cases of that waitress that you're describing, she 594 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,719 Speaker 14: got to keep more of what she earned. 595 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 9: She has an incentive. 596 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 14: To work harder and provide better service because it will 597 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 14: mean more tipped income, and she gets to keep that 598 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 14: tipped income and so again, if you look at whether 599 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 14: it's the pro work incentives or the pro investment incentives 600 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 14: that are in the bill, and there's a lot of both, 601 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 14: they definitely helped give that index a bit of a boot, 602 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 14: because again, it's not just a matter of economic growth 603 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 14: but economic freedom, and part of that is getting to 604 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 14: keep what you earn and getting to keep the proceeds 605 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 14: of what you invest. 606 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 2: You know what, I love, Eja. 607 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: You didn't use a term that so many Republicans use 608 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: that I despise. You know what, It's called pro business. 609 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: I hate when conservatives use pro business. And we don't 610 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: want to pick special classes of people. Pro free markets. 611 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: You want to be pro investment. That's great, Pro work 612 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: that's great. Pro business is not great. Pro free markets 613 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: is everything. And it looks like we're moving in a 614 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: in a faster direction towards real free markets in America 615 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: at least according to your survey, there at least prosperity. 616 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: I'll give you the last word. 617 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 14: Well, Green, I just want to really emphasize again the 618 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 14: really big part that moved the needle here was deregulation. 619 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 14: You know, the Biden administration, over the course of four years, 620 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 14: added a record amount of regulatory compliance costs to this economy, 621 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 14: and in Trump's first year of office, they rolled back 622 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 14: a record number of regulations. It's the most any administration 623 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 14: has ever rolled back in a twelve month period. So 624 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 14: really hats off to the administration. They haven't been perfect 625 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 14: on everything, but they've been darn good when it comes 626 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 14: to deregulation and regulatory reform. 627 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: I certainly feel good about the direction we're headed on 628 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: leash prosperity do with such a great job. 629 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 2: E j Antony, We always love me to come on 630 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 2: the program. 631 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 9: Thank you, Thank you. 632 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 2: Grim Absolutely all right. 633 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: California's biggest downfall is Gavin News.

Just listen to former acting DHS Secretary Chad 664 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: Wolfe explains some of the craziness that's happening right now 665 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: in California. 666 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 17: In California, again, the birthplace of the sanctuary movement, local 667 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 17: politicians released four thousand, six hundred and forty one criminal 668 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 17: aliens from local jails in twenty twenty five, rather than 669 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 17: handing them over to Ice for removal. Those criminals included 670 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 17: aliens that had committed homicide, assault, sexual predatory offenses, and burglary. 671 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 2: All right, I want to. 672 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: Bring in now, founder and chairman and CEO of SMI Group. 673 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: He also writes for Real Clear Politics, Keenan Spivik is 674 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: with us. 675 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 2: Keenan, welcome to the program. 676 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 9: Thanks for having me back. 677 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: Well, it's great to see you again, sir. I was 678 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: reading your piece in Real Clear Politics. You make in 679 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: clear California's got a problem. 680 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 2: How do we warn the rest of the nation. 681 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 18: You know, I'm going to warn the rest of the 682 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 18: nation by starting with President Joe Biden, because what California 683 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 18: has been doing about race slicing and dicing by race 684 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 18: and gender is exactly what Joe Biden did when he 685 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 18: was president and had one hundred and forty different diversity, 686 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 18: equity and inclusion plans throughout the federal government. But what 687 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 18: California is proving that even under the Trump administration, a 688 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 18: state can still do the exact same things. And this 689 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:36,320 Speaker 18: state government, under Gavin Newsom, has repeatedly tried to repeal 690 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,760 Speaker 18: Proposition two nine, which, as the nation may know, repealed 691 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 18: affirmative action in education and throughout the state government. 692 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 9: It's repeatedly moved down. 693 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 18: The path of trillions of dollars of reparations for black 694 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 18: California residents, to repeatedly try to require corporate boards to 695 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 18: select directors based on race and under orientation. 696 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 9: It's a horrible, horrible. 697 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 18: Precedent to set for the nation, and it tells us 698 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 18: what will happen if Gavin Newsom is the next president 699 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 18: of the United States. 700 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 2: All Right, you mentioned a couple of things that make 701 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 2: me laugh. 702 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: So Gavin Newsom pushes reparations in California like all the 703 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: other leftist lawmakers. I don't even believe Keenan that California 704 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: was a slave state. There was no slavery in California 705 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: to start with, Why are they even going down this road? 706 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 18: All right, there was no slavery. California was admitted in 707 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 18: eighteen fifty. Slavery was illegal in California. There is no 708 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,439 Speaker 18: one in California descended from anyone who in California ever 709 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 18: owned or was a slave. And you know what's really 710 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 18: pernicious about this is that when a commission that Gavin 711 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:54,919 Speaker 18: Newsom appointed decided to create the framework for reparations. 712 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 9: They said it should go to all blacks. 713 00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 18: Who live in California, with very minor exceptions, whether they're 714 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 18: they were descendants of slaves or not, whether they were 715 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 18: worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the entertainment industry, 716 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 18: whether they moved here from affluent backgrounds in wherever they 717 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 18: may come from, just because they had the right melanin content. 718 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 9: I mean, that's just racist. 719 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: Well, it sure is. I want to play a clip 720 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: for you of Gavin Newsom. This goes back to last year. 721 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: But besides the reparations you've got, I used to do 722 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: radio in Los Angeles, you've got billions of dollars spent 723 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 1: on homelessness. Homeless numbers continue to increase. Housing is a 724 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: huge problem out there, and yet Gavin Newsom says this 725 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: about Los Angeles. 726 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,479 Speaker 2: Cut one. Please, we are. 727 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 19: In Los Angeles, the most diverse city, in the most 728 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 19: diverse county, in the most diverse state in the world's 729 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 19: most diverse democracy. 730 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 3: And I've long believe that the world looks to us. 731 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: We may look to him, but this segment is not 732 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: why he wants us looking at him. 733 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 18: Yeah, let me start with something about diversity. California has 734 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 18: forty four million residents, two and a half million, five 735 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 18: percent or black, in a country where twelve or thirteen 736 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 18: percent of all Americans are black. California is not America's 737 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 18: most diverse society in any way. It is the leader, though, 738 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 18: in America in treating people based on their race and 739 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 18: gender orientation. Remember, California is the state that is refusing 740 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:47,760 Speaker 18: to stop schools from secretly transitioning children without telling parents. 741 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 18: They've gone to court and lost on the right to 742 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,240 Speaker 18: keep from parents what's being done to their children. 743 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 9: So California diverse. 744 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 18: California a leader may be a leader for all the 745 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 18: wrong things. A leader, you know, really a leader for Marxists' 746 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 18: view that we all live here at. 747 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 9: The behest of the state. We're not individuals where whatever 748 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 9: the state tells us we are. That's not the type 749 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 9: of leadership I want. 750 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: I can tell you if people are leaving California in droves. 751 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 2: It started out where liberals are leaving. 752 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: They didn't quite understand why they were leaving, and they 753 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: quickly figured it out and they brought their awful politics. 754 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: I'd actually think something sad is happening in California. Many 755 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: of the conservatives that were left are also leaving now 756 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: they've given up on that state. Keenan last, Kenan last word. 757 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: In ten fifteen seconds. 758 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 18: We've got to look at California as a leader for 759 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 18: the direction. We don't want to go in and run 760 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 18: the other direction. Make the United States and meritocracy like 761 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 18: we want it to be and like it used to be. 762 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 2: Amen to that. 763 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: Ken and Spivack, thank you so much for coming on 764 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 1: the program.

We will 768 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: highlight a US based manufacturer that I don't know out 769 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: of this story may put you to sleep. 770 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 2: Coming up next. Wink wink, Welcome back everyone. 771 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: Thanks to President Trump, manufacturing here in the United States 772 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: is experiencing a resurgence. I want to bring in now 773 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: somebody that anybody that has a garage knows, at least 774 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: if you have a garage with a ladder in it. 775 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 2: The CEO and founder of Ghostbed. 776 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,720 Speaker 1: But before that he was the founder of Werner Ladders, 777 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: which I couldn't believe. 778 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 2: Mark Werner is with us. Mark, welcome to the program. 779 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 20: Thank you, thank you for having ghost spend tonight. Well, 780 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 20: absolutely about Werner Ladder. I didn't start at my grandfather 781 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 20: started one hundred plus years ago. 782 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: It's an amazing company. I think everybody owns a Warner Ladder. 783 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: And now you have this new company called ghost Bed. 784 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: I said that I hope this story puts people to sleep. 785 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: Not right now, but ultimately, why don't you tell me 786 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,320 Speaker 1: about what got you from ladders into beds? 787 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 2: Mark? 788 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 20: So, I grew up in the ladder business, and my 789 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 20: grandfather started one hundred years ago, and my dad invented 790 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,799 Speaker 20: the aluminum ladder and then the fiberglass ladder. So I 791 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 20: had great experience with branding, manufacturing, American maid, et cetera. 792 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,800 Speaker 20: I ended up having three neck surgeries, so I couldn't 793 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 20: find a pillow or a mattress that worked for me. 794 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 20: So given my fiberglass background, I invented my memory phone, 795 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 20: pillow and mattress and named a ghost Bed. Started it 796 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 20: with my wife twenty five years ago and wanted another 797 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 20: American maid family business. So that got me into the 798 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 20: business and it's been a lot of fun ever since. 799 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: All Right, So these beds were all made in the 800 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 1: United States. Can you tell me was that difficult to 801 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: manufacture and be competitive in the United States? And is 802 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,919 Speaker 1: it getting easier now with the current administration. 803 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 20: It's always been a little bit of a challenge, but 804 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 20: it is getting easier with less regulation. It's very important 805 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 20: to us to make it in the United States. We 806 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 20: do business in Canada, in the UK. We make product 807 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 20: in those respective countries. But President Trump is much more 808 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,479 Speaker 20: favorable for domestic manufacturing, which is great. The Werner ladder, 809 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 20: for example, was made in the US for over one 810 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 20: hundred years and very proud of that. 811 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing. 812 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,799 Speaker 1: When it comes to the ghost bed, what do you 813 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: want people to know about it? 814 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:37,760 Speaker 2: Why should people switch? 815 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 20: Well, ghost bed our whole shtick is kind of bigger, better, 816 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,839 Speaker 20: or less expensive. So we put a lot of engineering 817 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 20: and a lot of technology. We have a lot of 818 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 20: patents on cooling, patents on adjustability, on different types of technologies. 819 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 20: So you get a very high grade product at a 820 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 20: very reasonable price and that's kind of our deliverable for 821 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,760 Speaker 20: our consumer, and the consumer has responded. We have tremendous 822 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,920 Speaker 20: amount of reviews were sold, not just on our website, 823 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 20: but we sell to people like Costco, which is a 824 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 20: very high bar to get into Sam's Club. 825 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 2: Amazon. 826 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 20: We have over one hundred thousand reviews and they're just 827 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 20: phenomenal type of feedback from the customer. 828 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 1: I'm curious as an entrepreneur, Mark, this is a very 829 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: competitive marketplace beds. How did you have the hood spot 830 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: to go into this and take the chance on it. 831 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 20: Well, as an entrepreneur, you've got to be a little 832 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 20: bit crazy. So I got into it. I knew I 833 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 20: could make a better product. I've been inventing products for 834 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 20: a long time. I'm actually the guy who invented the 835 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 20: digital bathroom scale forty five plus years ago. So I've 836 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 20: done a lot of different things and I thought I 837 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 20: could deliver a high quality product that people would appreciate. 838 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 20: And it turns out we're right, And yes it's super competitive, 839 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 20: but everyone sleeps, so that's one advantage out there. It's 840 00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,800 Speaker 20: a large market and everyone sleeps, and people do connect 841 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 20: with quality. And as my grandfather always used to say 842 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 20: to me. Profits follow quality, So if you do the 843 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 20: right thing, you're going to be rewarded. 844 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 9: And that's what we do. 845 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 20: We put the extra money into every product we make, 846 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 20: be it the mattresses, base pillow sheets, et cetera, so 847 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 20: we can have a better experience for the customer. 848 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 1: And again, everything delivered straight to your door. How does 849 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 1: that work? 850 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 20: So we have everything's FedEx, We vacuum packed up the products, 851 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 20: we minimize the packaging size and we either use FedEx 852 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 20: right to your threshold or we have white glove delivery. 853 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 2: Either or Wow, amazing stuff. 854 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 3: You know. 855 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 1: I think about the scales.
