They wanted 6 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: to be doom and gloom. There was ridiculous conversations and 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: arguments and debates about if your daughter was going to 8 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: have how many be able to have more than two 9 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: dollars from China. 10 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: This is where the media went. 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: Now, I'm going to get to this in a moment, 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: but there's something else that is happening right now that 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: all of you need to know about, and. 14 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 2: It's really big. 15 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: We are being told now that President Trump is going 16 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: to sign. 17 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: An order Monday. 18 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: Afternoon cutting prescription drug costs thirty to eighty percent effective immediately. 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trump announcing this in a truth social post. 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: Here is what he said. Quote. 21 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: For many years, the world has wondered why prescription drugs 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: and pharmaceuticals in the United States of America were so 23 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: much higher in price than they were in any other nation, 24 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: sometimes being five to ten times more expensive than the 25 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: same drug manufactured in the exact same laboratory or plant 26 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: by the same company. It was always difficult to explain 27 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: and very embarrassing because in fact there was no correct 28 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: or rightful answer. The pharmaceutical drug companies would say for 29 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: years that it was research and development costs, and that 30 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: all of these costs were and would be for no 31 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: reason whatsoever, borne by the suckers, or i should say, 32 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: by the suckers of America alone. All capital letters, campaign 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not 34 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: with the Republican Party. We are going to do the 35 00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for, fought 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: for many years. Therefore, I'm pleased to announce that tomorrow 37 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: morning in the White House, I will sign one of 38 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: the most consequential executive orders in our country's history. Prescription 39 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: drug and pharmaceutical prices will be reduced almost immediately by 40 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: thirty to eighty percent. 41 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: They will arise throughout the world. 42 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: In order to equalize and for the first time in 43 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: many years, bring fairness to America. I will be instituting 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: a most Favored Nation policy, whereby the United States will 45 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: pay the same price as the nation that pays the lowest. 46 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 2: Price anywhere in the world. 47 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: Our country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens' 48 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: healthcare costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought 49 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: of before. Additionally, on top of everything else, the United 50 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: States will save trillions of dollars. 51 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: Thank you for your attention to this matter. 52 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: Make America great again again, the President of United States 53 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,279 Speaker 1: of America announcing this. 54 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: This is going to have. 55 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: A unbelievable impact on so many Americans that can't afford 56 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: the prescription drugs. Many of them go across the border 57 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: to get them. We have seen Americans have had to 58 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: fly literally around the world to go get drugs as 59 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: cheap as they possibly can, and other nations. I know 60 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: people personally that have gone to Canada, and I know 61 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: people that have gone to Mexico and to Europe to 62 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: pick up life saving prescription drugs because they had no 63 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: other choice because they couldn't afford them or they weren't 64 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 1: covered by their insurance in the United States. And this 65 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: is part of what he's talking about here, is that 66 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: it's time for us to stop being the suckers. I 67 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: also love the point that was made there when he 68 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: says we're going to have most Favored nation status being 69 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: look wherever the lowest price in. 70 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: The world, that's what we're going to pay. 71 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: And we're not going to back down on from this 72 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: like this is this is exactly what we are going 73 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: to do. 74 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: We are going to do this. We're proud that we're 75 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: going to do this. 76 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: We're not going to stop doing this, and we are 77 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: going to have this most favored status. Now, America has 78 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: been a sucker for a long time. As he described it, 79 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: He's absolutely right. I could not agree with him more. Unfortunately, 80 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: when America and this is you go back to what 81 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: he was talking about. Look at the money that is 82 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: spent by the lobbyists and the pharmaceutical companies to influence terrible, okay, 83 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: absolutely terrible deals, I mean horrendous deals for the American 84 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: public that other people get incredible deals. 85 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: It's absolutely absurd. 86 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: And so what you're hearing now, I think is a 87 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: really an incredibly important point, and that is that you 88 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: have a saying I really don't care, like I just don't. 89 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: I do not care about the pharmaceutical companies. I do 90 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: not care about their money. I don't want their money. 91 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: I'm going around them, I'm going to fight them. I'm 92 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: going to do everything I can to put Americans first 93 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: yet again. And We're not gonna be suckered anymore. We're 94 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: not gonna be taken advantage of anymore. That is what 95 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: we are not going to do. And it's absolutely beautiful 96 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: to see this. It is amazing to see this happen 97 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: and to take place in such a real way. 98 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: We have this news, and I want to move to the. 99 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: Second thing, which is also going to have a huge 100 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: impact on every American, and that is the White House 101 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: announcing a quote substantial progress is made and the US 102 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: China trade talks. The Treasury Secretary Scott Descent on Sunday 103 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: said the Trump administration has made substantial progress to the 104 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: trade negotiation between the US and China. Here is what 105 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: he had to say at the press conference in his 106 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: own words. 107 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: And I think that led to a great deal of 108 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 3: the productivity we've seen. We will be giving details tomorrow, 109 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 3: but I can tell you that the talks were productive. 110 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: We had the Vice Premier, to vice. 111 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 4: Ministers who were integrally involved, Ambassador Jamison and myself and 112 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 4: I spoke to President Trump, as did Ambassador Jamison last night, 113 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 4: and he is fully informed of what is going on. 114 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 4: So there will be a complete briefing tomorrow. 115 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: Morning, complete briefing on Monday. 116 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: Now, the US Trade Rep in Geneva, saying this about 117 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: the deal and how it was able to come together, say, 118 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: it really wasn't as far apart as many believed. 119 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 5: I want to echo the Secretary's re marks respect to 120 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 5: the Swiss government. They've been so welcoming and they've posted 121 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 5: and everything has gone off flawlessly, and we appreciate that. 122 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 5: And again to the Chinese negotiators. Vice Premier Leohoa, Vice 123 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 5: Minister Lee Chandong, and Vice Minister Le Al men work 124 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 5: very diligently, and these are very tough negotiators. A couple 125 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 5: of them I know from before and have had past 126 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 5: interactions with them. And this was, as the Secretary pointed out, 127 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 5: a very constructive two days. It's important to understand how 128 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 5: quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects 129 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 5: that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought. 130 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 5: That being said, there was a lot of groundwork that 131 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 5: went into these two days. Just remember why we're here 132 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 5: in the first place. If the United States has a 133 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 5: massive one point two trillion dollars trade deficit, so the 134 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 5: President declared a national emergency and imposed tariffs, and we're 135 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 5: confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners 136 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:56,239 Speaker 5: will help us to resolve work towards resolving that national emergency. 137 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: You will get both of these men, and you'll get 138 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: both of these stories. I cannot overstate how big of 139 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: a deal this Executive Order on drugs is going to 140 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: be for American families, especially our seniors. Healthcare costs were 141 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: the number one driver, by the way, in Biden inflation, 142 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: and President Trump is like, I'm tackling this head on 143 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: for our seniors. And then the fact that the President 144 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: also comes out is like, oh yeah, by the way, 145 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: we're also getting the deal done with China, which which 146 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: the Left was hoping would not happen. 147 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: Quote. 148 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: We're confident that the that the deal we struck with 149 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: our Chinese partners will help us to work towards resolving 150 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: the trade deficit. I'm happy to report that we made 151 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: substantial progress and we will be giving details tomorrow aka 152 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: Monday afternoon. This is just amazing because no one in 153 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: the press wants to report this or give credit. Everyone 154 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: in the press wants to act like this is a disaster. 155 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: They want to act like this Some terrible thing. They 156 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: want to act like that. This is like the worst 157 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: day ever in that the president was destroying the country. 158 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: None of that happened. 159 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: They wanted him to be a failure and they didn't 160 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: care if it hurt the American people. They wanted it 161 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:21,359 Speaker 1: to be a failure. God bless America. This is incredible 162 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: and these are two of the biggest stories that happened 163 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: on the same day.

President Putin of Russia Donald Trump 186 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: put out in a true social post doesn't want to 187 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: have a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine, but brother wants to 188 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: meet on Thursday in Turkey to negotiate a possible end 189 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: to the bloodbath, and Ukraine should agree to this immediately. 190 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: At least they will be able to determine whether or 191 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: not a deal is possible, and if it is not, 192 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: European leaders in the US will know where everyone and 193 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: everything stands and can proceed accordingly. I'm sorry to doubt 194 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: that Ukraine will make a deal with Putin, who's too 195 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: busy celebrating the victory of World War Two, which could 196 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: not have been won, not even close, without the United 197 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: States of America have the meeting. Now, the President went 198 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: on to say, Now, this is an important point because 199 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: I think the fact that President's just calling it out publicly, 200 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: like he's just straight up calling this out, and he's saying, 201 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: you can't have it both ways. My worry has been, 202 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: and I've said this for a long time, is at 203 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: the level of corruption around the aid that the US 204 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: is giving to Ukraine is just unbelievable. We know for 205 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: a fact that Zelensky has said that fifty percent of 206 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: the funding that's gone to the UK they can't find. 207 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: He has had to fire people for corruption after they 208 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: were robusted by media, like an egregious corruption, like millions 209 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: and millions and millions of dollars. The other thing is, 210 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: if you know the history of Ukraine, Ukraine is even 211 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: more corrupt in many ways than Russia. 212 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: And that's saying something. 213 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: And Zolensky and all of his friends are still getting 214 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: rich off of this war. The other there's a third 215 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: part to this, and this is part of the conversation 216 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump has had and again every time he 217 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: says this, the media is like, oh my gosh, he's 218 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: a Russian stude. 219 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: He's backing Vladimir Putin. No, he's not. 220 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: He's asking a real question. It's a question that we 221 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: should all be asking. Will Zolensky survive if there's a 222 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: cease fire that actually is real and this war ends. 223 00:12:59,200 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: Well, we don't know. 224 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: Number One, they haven't had elections since the war broke 225 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: out a couple of years ago, and there's a real 226 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: worry that Zelensky is prolonging this because he doesn't want 227 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: to give up the presidency and he knows that the 228 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: people in Ukraine will vote him out of office once 229 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: they have free and fair elections again. 230 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,119 Speaker 2: So there is a real. 231 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: Question over the motives of Zelensky and all of his 232 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: friends who are getting rich that they'll lose their access 233 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: and the corruption will end if there is a free 234 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: and fair election there. There's no indication by the way 235 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: that Zelensky honestly would win. 236 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: I think it'd probably be a blowout. I think he 237 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: knows it. 238 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: So you keep the war going so that you can 239 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: suspend elections, which is exactly what they've done in the 240 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: name of war. 241 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: That's what they've said. 242 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: They've said in the name of war, we're suspending elections. 243 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: The number of people that are dying on both sides 244 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: of this is just horrific. 245 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 2: It is. 246 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: It is something that Donald Trump has also said, like 247 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: is completely avoidable, and it should be avoidable, and we 248 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: should be doing everything that we can to avoid it. 249 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: And I couldn't agree with Donald Trump more that this 250 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: needs to end. Now you go back to Putin saying 251 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: he wants to meet on Thursday in Turkey to negotiate 252 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: a possible into the blood bat. The fact that Trump 253 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: is even having the assolence give Ukraine to agree to 254 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: this immediately is also just kind of insane, Like this 255 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: is something they should all just be there for. Okay, 256 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: that's it, Like they should just be there for it. 257 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: This shouldn't be hard, It should be pretty easy. And 258 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: why would you not go if you're because you don't 259 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: have to agreet anything. 260 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: You just show up for the meeting. 261 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: You show up, and you see what the other side saying, 262 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: what they're offering, and you call their bluff. Like if 263 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: you're in a war with somebody and they want to meet, 264 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: you should probably meet. And the fact that the US 265 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: is willing to facilitate the meeting is a good sign 266 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: that like, hey, we should really be there for this, 267 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: Like this is a no brainer for us. 268 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 2: If Zelensky says no to this. 269 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: I do think there's a large part of this that 270 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is getting right where he's saying, you got 271 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: to now worry about the motives of Zelensky. 272 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: Now, everything that I just said has nothing to do 273 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: with Putin. I want to be clear. 274 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: I think Putin's a scumbag, pos murderer. 275 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: I think he's a barbarian. 276 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: I think he's one of the worst people to walk 277 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: to face the earth, and. 278 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: I mean that sincerely. 279 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, if Zelensky knows 280 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: that people are dying, he just wants to keep his power. 281 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: That's not a good look either, folks, Like that's really 282 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: not a good look. And both things can be real 283 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: at the same time. Both things can be true at 284 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: the same time, right Like you can say you stand 285 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: with the people of Ukraine while also questioning the leader 286 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: in Ukraine. 287 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: Both things can be true. 288 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: And I think that's part of what we need to understand, 289 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: is that you know, it's not about picking sides. It's look, 290 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: it's just about looking at the reality of the situation. 291 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: And if you look at the reality of the situation, okay, 292 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: then then hey, I mean you got to ask at 293 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: this point, does Zelenski and his goons around him really 294 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: want this to end or not? Like, do they honestly 295 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: want it to end? And that is a question that 296 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: that should be asked. And if you ask that question, 297 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you're supporting Vladimir Putin. It doesn't 298 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: mean that you're supporting Russia. I think Russia the leadership 299 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: there are scumbags. I actually feel bad for the people 300 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: of Russia. They're being held hostage right now by and 301 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: and and so many of them been sent to die. 302 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: And and for me, that's really really really sad. Like 303 00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: I it is tragic. It is absolutely lutely tragic. It's 304 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: also not surprising. It's tragic, but it's not surprising. And 305 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: we we we should hope that they all come together. 306 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: We should we should pray that they all come together. 307 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: We should be advocating that they all come together. That's 308 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: the whole ballgame here. For me, that's like, that's it, 309 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: that's all of it. That is the whole ballgame. Let 310 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: me get to another story real quick. That also is 311 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: really important Hamas has claimed it will release in Israeli 312 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: American hostage Eden Alexander. 313 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: This is significant. 314 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: Hamas issued a statement claiming that it will release Aiden Alexander, 315 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: who is believed to be the last known living American 316 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: being held hostage by the terrorist group, according to several 317 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: reports that have. 318 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 2: Just come out. 319 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: In his statements, in Your Hamas negotiator explained that Hamas 320 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: was affirming its readiness to immediately start intensive negotiations and 321 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: make serious effort to reach a final agreement to end 322 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. 323 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: This is coming from CNN.

He was cute and handsome, playing with 351 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: his hair the whole time. He said that people had 352 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: brought them a holiday meal at the base, and then 353 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: he was going to because he had a guard shift 354 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: early in the morning. I joked and said, we'll come 355 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: with an armored vehicle tomorrow for Sabah. We'll bring you 356 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: to Lent, a slow simmering stew that Orthodox Jews eat 357 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: on sabat so they don't need to cook. He laughed 358 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: and said they won't let you in. It's dangerous. I 359 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: went to bed at six point thirty in the morning. 360 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: My father woke me up to go out to the 361 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: stairwell because there was a siren. She immediately sent a 362 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: message to you to eat on and asked if everything 363 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: was okay. He replied that rockets were flying, but he 364 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: was in a safe place and she shouldn't worry. When 365 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: the second siren went off, they went out to the 366 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: stairwell again, and this time it On didn't answer her messages, 367 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: but he called a few minutes later. This is incredible 368 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: that this is how long this has been going on. 369 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: The reports back in March was that Hamas claimed it 370 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: would release Alexander Wi Israeli Prime Mister Yahu's office cast 371 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: quote doubt on Hamas's offer and accused the terrorists organization 372 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: of trying to manipulate talks underway in Qatar. Now, I 373 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: don't know if it is Trump going to the Middle East 374 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: that is having this type of impact. I think there's 375 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: a very good chance. So that's a large part of this, 376 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: I really do think. I think there's a very good 377 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: chance that this could come down to actually that issue. 378 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: I also think some of this just deals with the 379 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: simple fact that the Middle East is on edge because 380 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has made it clear he's willing to come 381 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: after Terrists, just like he went after Hesblon and Huthi's 382 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: and now they're just decimated. 383 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 2: And the presence like I'm not. 384 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: Screwing around with Terrists, and and and by the way, 385 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: Israel shouldn't screw around the terraces either, Like you got 386 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: to defend yourself, you got to go you got to 387 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: go all out. And if you need to go out, 388 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: then go all out. And I think that's that this 389 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: is part of that. Hey, if we have to, we 390 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: will come after you. If we must, we will. And 391 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: if you think we won't, you're insane. We're not afraid 392 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: to come after you. We are willing to come after you. 393 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: And we don't want to but if you force us to, 394 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: and you force our hand, then we're gonna do it. 395 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 2: Now. 396 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: Time will tell if they actually do what they say 397 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: they're going to do. Okay, Like time will tell, we'll 398 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: just see. You don't know here, You really honestly don't know. 399 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: But what I will say is that the President does 400 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: seem hell bent on making sure that we hold these 401 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: terrorists accountable and that we go after them, and that 402 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: we don't pause no matter what. So you look at 403 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours and you look at these 404 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: three big stories that we're talking about, it's incredible. It 405 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: is truly incredible. What has happened with prescription drugs. It's incredible. 406 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: What we're hearing with China and the trade talks. It's incredible. 407 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: What we're hearing now with the President in Israel and 408 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: what's happening here and him going to Middle East. I mean, 409 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: there is a lot that is going on, and it 410 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: is very significant. While we may have won this election, 411 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: the fight to restore our great nation is only beginning, 412 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: and now is the time to take a stand, and 413 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile is leading the charge. It has never been 414 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: easier to switch your cell phone than in twenty twenty five. 415 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: With technology, you can do it literally over the phone 416 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: with a code they send you. It is amazing. But 417 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: here's the reason why I use Patriot Mobile now. One 418 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: I save money over what I was paying before with 419 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: Big Mobile. And two, I'm no longer supporting the radical 420 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: left now. I didn't realize until someone told me just 421 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: how radical Big Mobile had gotten. Where they are supporting 422 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: organizations that pay for abortions or supporting radical democratic causes 423 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: and organizations. They're helping Democrats get elect it at the local, state, 424 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: and national level. That is actually why, over a decade 425 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: ago Patriot Mobile was started and they are now America's 426 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 1: only Christian conservative wireless provider. 427 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about coverage. 428 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, you have zero problems with coverage 429 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: anymore because well, Patriot Mobile uses all three major networks. 430 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: What does that mean for you? 431 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,719 Speaker 1: It means whatever coverage you're used to now you're going 432 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: to stay exactly the same, or you may even be 433 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: able to improve it, but it will not be any 434 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: issues when it comes to coverage. In fact, they have 435 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: a coverage guarantee. But when you pay your bill, this 436 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: is where the magic happens. They take a portion of 437 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: your bill every month and they give it back to 438 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: organizations that support our first and our second amendments that 439 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: support the sanctity of life, that support our veterans, our 440 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: first responders, and are wounded warriors. And like I said, 441 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: switching with technology now has never been easier. You keep 442 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: your same phone you have now, keep your same phone number, 443 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: and you can even upgrade to a new phone if 444 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: you want to. They have a one hundred percent US 445 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: based customer support team to help you find the perfect 446 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: plan and to save money.

I want to 455 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: get to another important story real quick that many of 456 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: you may not realize is happening, and that is just 457 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: how bad off we are right now when it comes 458 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: to our air traffic control system, how out of date 459 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: it is, how antiquated it is. 460 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 2: Sean Duffy went on meet the. 461 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: Press to talk about just how bad it is and 462 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: how it ever got to this point is beyond me. 463 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: But this is part of what he had to say 464 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: in the conversation about why we must overall this system. 465 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: And it's a system that was inherited by the trumpdministration 466 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: that is running on actual floppy discs where they're having 467 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: to buy parts on eBay to keep it running. 468 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 6: What can you tell us about this latest incident and 469 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 6: why does this keep happening? 470 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you this. 471 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 6: The system is old, right, This is a system that's 472 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 6: twenty five at best, sometimes fifty years old. The Congress 473 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 6: and the country haven't paid attention to it, right, they 474 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 6: expect it to work. And so now I think the 475 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 6: lights are blinking, the sirens are turning, and they're saying, listen, 476 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 6: we have to fix this because what you see in 477 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 6: Newark is going to happen in other places across the country. 478 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 2: It has to be fixed. 479 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 6: And so what we're having is some telecom issues. We're 480 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 6: also having some glitches in our software as the information 481 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 6: comes in it's overloading some of our lines and the 482 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 6: system goes down. So I'll just tell you specifically a newark. 483 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 6: We believe we're going to have it up and running 484 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,479 Speaker 6: in short order. We're gonna be able to fix that glitch, 485 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 6: and we feel a little more comfortable about our primary 486 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 6: line that gets the data in on. 487 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 2: Radar, and our redundant line is up and rooking as well. 488 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 2: What can you tell us about I mean, you hear him. 489 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: It's scary that we're even at this point where no 490 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: one was doing this, no one was fixing it. It's like, 491 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: what were we doing? What was happening? Like, how is 492 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: this even possible that it got this bad? Sean was 493 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: also again I mentioned eBay. This is how bad it is, y'all, 494 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: And yet with all the money the government has, they 495 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: decide not to spend your money on having like top 496 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: of the notch air traffic control systems. 497 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 6: I'm concerned about the whole airspace right the equipment that 498 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 6: we use, much of it. We can't buy parts for 499 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 6: new We have to go on eBay and buy parts. 500 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 6: If one part goes down, you're dealing with really old equipment. 501 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 6: We're dealing with copper wires, not fiber, not high speed fiber. 502 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 6: And so this is this is concerning is it safe. Yes, 503 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 6: we have redundancies. Multiple redundancy is in place to keep 504 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 6: you safe and you fly. But we should also recognize 505 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 6: we're seeing we're seeing stress on an old network and 506 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 6: it's time to fix it. Bottom line, is it safe 507 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 6: to fly in the United States right now? 508 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 2: We listen. 509 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 6: We are the safest airspace for sure, and traveling by 510 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 6: air is way safer than any of the mode of transportation, 511 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,719 Speaker 6: which is why I take it, my family takes it. 512 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 6: But again that doesn't mean you don't look over the 513 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 6: horizon and say, hey, if there is a major outage, 514 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 6: could that be a risk to life. Of course it 515 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 6: could be, which is why we fix it. I'm concerned 516 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 6: about the. 517 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: I mean this is you go back to Sean here, 518 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: the equipment that we use, much of it. We can't 519 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: buy parts for new We have to go on eBay 520 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: and buy parts, Like are we a third world country? 521 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: And no one was fixing this, Like no one was 522 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: working on this. And so he's like, look, we inherit it, 523 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 1: but we're going to fix it, Like we're not going 524 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: to just kick the can down the road or buy 525 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: more parts on eBay. 526 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 6: The problem we have is you can't snap your fingers 527 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 6: and fix it right. It takes time to build the infrastructure, 528 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 6: and it's I say, it's going to be three to 529 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 6: four years to build it all. But we're going to 530 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 6: focus on new work first. So we're gonna start to 531 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 6: see new work be far, far more resilient in the 532 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 6: near term. But air traffic controllers were three thousand short 533 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 6: on air traffic control. I can't snap my fingers and 534 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 6: bring in these highly skilled air traffic controllers. All this 535 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 6: is going to take time. So the key here is 536 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 6: we have to start. We have to begin the process 537 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 6: of fixing the system. I can't say in two weeks 538 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 6: I can have it fixed. That's not the space that 539 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 6: we deal with. But I'm gonna tell you we are 540 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 6: going to begin, and you know, in the in the 541 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 6: in the months and years ahead, we're going to see 542 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 6: real results. 543 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 2: That's how broken the system is. 544 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: Like the way that Sean is described, this is how 545 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,719 Speaker 1: bad it is now. He also dispelled a rumor of 546 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: the fake news and I want you to hear this. 547 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 6: In the safety mission of the FAA, like air traffic controllers, 548 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 6: no one was cut we actually have staffed up. We've 549 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 6: hired more air traffic controllers during this time. There were 550 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 6: probationary workers that were let go. Those are employees who 551 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 6: were there less than a year unless and again we 552 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 6: excluded the safety positions. 553 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 2: Most of them have come back. 554 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 6: So again to say a department, the FAA has forty 555 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 6: six thousand employees, and if you lost three hundred and fifty, 556 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 6: is this affecting our safety mission. There's a lot of 557 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 6: things the FAA does, but for us, safety is key. 558 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 6: So no, we've retained all those safety positions. 559 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 2: Again, another lie that was told by the media. 560 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: They all lied to you, and they all told you 561 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: that this thing was a disaster, that it was just. 562 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 2: All these people Quitting's not true, not accurate. 563 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: And now the media, the same media that looked the 564 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: other way while Democrats were in charge, and while this 565 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: thing was because I'm me a disaster, what are they 566 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: now doing. They're like, oh, wow, we want to hold 567 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and accountable for this, and he's. 568 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 2: Like, it's not that simple. He also went on CBS 569 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 2: this morning and was talking about this. 570 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: I want you to listen to the intro from CBS 571 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: this morning and how they described it. 572 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 2: Listen carefully to the propaganda. 573 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 7: Pretty airport from air traffic control problems. 574 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 2: You've been hearing a lot about this. 575 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 7: I've raised a lot of questions about the nationwide system. 576 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 7: Now safe it is to fly these days? Transportation Secretary 577 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 7: that's Sean Duffy announced plans yesterday to modernize air traffic control, 578 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 7: promising new software, updated equipment, and the first new ATC 579 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 7: centers since the nineteen sixties. Yes please, Secretary Duffy joins 580 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 7: us now from Washington. Good morning to you, mister Secretary. 581 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 7: It's good to see you, and can I just say, 582 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 7: as a nervous flyer, it seems like you and your 583 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 7: team are all over this, so great appreciation for that, 584 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 7: because it seems you want to get it right and 585 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 7: get it right quickly. But let's start with Newark Airport 586 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 7: because that's top of mind for many people there are 587 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 7: certainly on the struggle bus. How long do you think 588 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 7: it'll take to get things right there and reassure people 589 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,959 Speaker 7: that it's okay to fly in and out of Newark? 590 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 6: Well, first off, for you, Gale and Froll flyers, our 591 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 6: main mission is safety, and so if there's any concern 592 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 6: with safety, we slow down traffic and there might be 593 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 6: delayed there might be cancelations, and we take those precautions 594 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 6: to make sure that you get from your departure city 595 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 6: to your arrival city. But it's gonna take a little 596 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 6: bit of time. Now, the main line that feeds information 597 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,719 Speaker 6: into Newark that went down, the secondary line didn't stand up, 598 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 6: and so both lines. 599 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 2: Are now working. 600 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 6: We have a little bit of issues with our air 601 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 6: traffic controllers. Some of them have stepped out of the tower. 602 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 2: They were stressed. 603 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 6: So we're training new individuals in the Philly Traycon which 604 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 6: services Newark, and we're building a whole new fiber driven 605 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 6: system down in Philly that does serve that Traycon or 606 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 6: the New York Airport. So it doesn't weren't a situation 607 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 6: where you know, it's gonna take us a little bit 608 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 6: of time. I hope i've summer, we're gonna be fully functioning. 609 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 610 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 7: I was going to say, mister Duffie, what does that 611 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 7: mean when you say a little bit of time, you 612 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 7: say by the summer, because I'm thinking the problem with 613 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 7: Newark is when you hear the screens went down, and 614 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 7: no one seemed to be able to explain that You 615 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 7: don't think we have to worry about that happening again. 616 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 7: You think they've corrected that problem. 617 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 6: Well, in Newark, both lines are working and so you know, listen, yes, 618 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 6: and if both lines do go down, there are emergency procedures, 619 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 6: backup procedures that we take to talk to airplanes to 620 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 6: make sure they stay separated. But Gail, I'm concerned. I 621 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 6: mean this system that we use many much of the 622 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 6: equipment you have to buy an ebait. 623 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 2: No one makes it anymore. 624 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 6: That's how old the system is that we fly on today, 625 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 6: which is why yesterday I called for a brand new 626 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 6: infrastructure plan to rebuild everything across the spectrum for air 627 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 6: traffic control. It is well overdue in America. And I 628 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 6: think what you've seen in Newark is you're having failings. 629 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 6: And when you have the failings, you take a look 630 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 6: at the whole system and could other parts, you know, 631 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 6: have issues. Of course it could have issues. But that's 632 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 6: why it's a call to action to do this for 633 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 6: America so you always feel safe. 634 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 2: In your flying gale. 635 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, you said you've basically said all hands on deck. 636 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 7: I think the figure you gave was twelve point five billion, 637 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 7: and you said it could exceed that that you're you're 638 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 7: hoping to get the money upfront from Congress. 639 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 2: How is this going to play out? Do you think so? 640 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 6: No? No, it's so the first trons the House has twelve 641 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 6: point five billion for me. This is gonna be much 642 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 6: bigger than that. This is an infrastructure, a bill that 643 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 6: will go across the country. Listen, air traffic control is 644 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,720 Speaker 6: in all you know, all these major cities across the country. 645 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 6: So it's going to be more than twelve and a 646 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 6: half billion. It'll be you know, tens of billions of 647 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 6: dollars to do this. 648 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 2: But the problem deal. 649 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 6: Is, in the past there's been just partial funding for 650 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 6: air traffic control upgrades. 651 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 2: Partial upgrade funding. 652 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: Now the whole thing. Now, I we'll just do a 653 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: little bit here. This is how corrupt our government is. 654 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: They'll spend money on transgendered my studies, and they'll spend 655 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: money on Sesame Street in Iran or whatever the hell country. 656 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: But no, we're gonna make you buy computers parts on 657 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: eBay for a forty to fifty year old system. That 658 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: is the world we're living in in our government. That's 659 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: how much they don't care about us.
