On Thursday, 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: Cardinal Robert Provost was selected as the next Pope and 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: will be known as Pope Leo the fourteenth. I'll bring 19 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: on a senior to the White House Faith Office, Paula 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: White shall join me here to get her perspective. Also, 21 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: protests were recently held at a Chicago, howdy end that 22 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: the city converted into a shelter to house illegal aliens, 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: a scheme that has. 24 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: Cost the Chicago taxpayers. 25 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty million dollars in counting. I think 26 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: that would upset just about anyone. I'll discuss that coming up, 27 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: and then later had a chance earlier today to visit 28 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: with Congress Women Cat Camick of Florida, where we discussed 29 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: the importance of the App Store Freedom Act to limit 30 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: Google's control over thousands and thousands of apps in your phone. 31 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: Those details straight ahead too, but we start here today. 32 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: House Republicans hard at work preparing President Trump's One Big, 33 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill. Whether that'll be by Memorial Day or close 34 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: to the fourth of July remains a bit unclear. Divisions 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: over changes to Medicaid are becoming the chief hurdle to 36 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: getting President Trump's major tax, immigration, and energy agenda through Congress. 37 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: And let me assure you Medicaid reform is a must 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: in this bill. 39 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: I want you to take a look at what comes 40 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: of Mark Harris had to say about that earlier here. 41 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 5: It is why is the federal government spending more taxpayer 42 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 5: dollars on healthcare for illegal aliens and basement bums instead 43 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 5: of those who truly need it. For the past several 44 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 5: weeks have been fearful rumblings on both sides of the 45 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 5: aisle about reforming Medicaid. But here's the bottom line. If 46 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 5: we fail to act now and allow millions more working 47 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 5: capable adults to continue to free load off Obamacare expansion, 48 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 5: taxpayers will bear the burden of what will become a 49 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 5: one trillion dollar program. Obamacare significantly expanded Medicaid and is 50 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 5: quickly bankrupting the program. Ironically, Medicaid expansion has shifted the 51 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 5: resources away from the most vulnerable Americans, single moms, infants, 52 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 5: and the disabled in favor of capable adults. 53 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: Here will be to discuss the need for Medicare reform 54 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: in the big beautiful bill is Marcaers. 55 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: Cogressman from North Carolina. Cogressan, thank you for being here, 56 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: say thank you for having me today. Let's talk about that. 57 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: The exploitation, I think is a good word of Obamacare 58 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: for a variety of different reasons. 59 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: It was never about. 60 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: Affordable care, even though they call it the Affordable Care Act. 61 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: It was a whole lot different. It was an insurance bill, really, 62 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: where would you start in changing things? 63 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 5: Well, I think when you know we have this once 64 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 5: in a lifetime opportunity, we really feel like, at least 65 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 5: that's how we're approaching it in the House of Representatives, 66 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 5: to get this reconciliation bill across the finish line, get 67 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 5: it onto the President's desk, hopefully by the fourth of July, 68 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 5: and get our nation back on track. As you said, 69 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 5: it's clear that medicaid is going to be a big 70 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 5: piece of this. And of course I'm not on the 71 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 5: Energy and Commerce Committee, and there are other people that 72 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 5: are working on this diligently. But some of the things 73 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 5: that I think are so important for us to understand 74 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 5: is if we don't reform, if we don't changes to 75 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 5: this program like adding work requirements and things such as that, 76 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 5: this is going to continue to just sprawl out of control. 77 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 5: And as I mentioned, you know, when you've got a 78 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 5: thirty year old living in their parents' basement and the 79 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 5: federal government is picking up ninety percent of their health 80 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 5: care and they are very capable of getting out and working, 81 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 5: and yet you've got a single mom who is expecting 82 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 5: a child and the federal government's only paying fifty to 83 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 5: seventy percent of her health care, depending on where she 84 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 5: is and what state she's in in the country. The 85 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 5: bottom line is that this program, if we get back 86 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 5: to wuiet was started and the people that it was 87 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 5: meant to be a safety net for, we have blown 88 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 5: that completely out of proportion. And I'm just one who 89 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 5: believes that we were sent there. In November of twenty 90 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 5: twenty four. We were given the trifecto with President Trump, 91 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 5: a majority in the House, a majority in the Senate, 92 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 5: to do government differently. 93 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: And this is a time that really and true. 94 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 5: If we don't step up and save this program, it 95 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 5: will simply implode upon itself. And as I mentioned yesterday 96 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 5: in that floor speech, one trillion dollars, that's not sustainable. 97 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: Well, what's not sustainable as well, a congressman, is all 98 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: of these. I think there's been something like one hundred 99 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: and thirty five, one hundred and forty executive orders and 100 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: so forth. If this piece of legislation, one big beautiful bill, 101 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: if it doesn't make it through, it's all been a 102 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: complete waste of time. The executive orders are all fine, 103 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: and while they're being challenged in courtroom after courtroom, and 104 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: they're losing, thankfully, but if we don't get these things codified, 105 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: a lot of it will be for naught, won't it. 106 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 5: Well, In many ways, it will be because we're only 107 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 5: one change in administration away from the stroke of a 108 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 5: pen from a democratic administration undoing everything the President Trump 109 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 5: has sought to put in place. But I'm confident, Steve, 110 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 5: I really am, that we're going to continue to work together. 111 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 5: I mean, let's face it, I've said that time and 112 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 5: again the left was counting on being able to write 113 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 5: the narrative that Republicans would not be able to govern, 114 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 5: that we would splinter off, that we wouldn't be able 115 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 5: to come together and move this across the finish line. 116 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 5: And in case after case over the last four months, 117 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 5: we have been moving legislation through the US House. When 118 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 5: people said we were going to splinter, Speaker Johnson and 119 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 5: others have worked together and have. 120 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 4: Been successful at that. 121 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 5: And I believe that's one reason you see the left 122 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 5: in such disarrayed, because they weren't counting on us being 123 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 5: able to govern. So I'm confident when we get back 124 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 5: next week, several committees are left. Seven point eight I 125 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 5: think have already gone and got followed their instructions and 126 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 5: gotten to where they need to be. And I think 127 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 5: as we step into the next phase here in the 128 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 5: next week, we're going to see a lot of good 129 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 5: things happen. And then it's going to go to the Senate. 130 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 5: And I'm really counting on the House and the Senate 131 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 5: and the President needing this charge that the leadership have 132 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 5: worked very closely together to shepherd this bill, and I'm 133 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 5: hopeful we're going to see. 134 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: It happen in Congressman, I hope you are as well. Look, 135 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a little history lesson for folks here. 136 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: What I grew up, we all used the World Book Encyclopedia. 137 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: You probably did too, to do book reports and reports 138 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: and things. 139 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: In the state of North Carolina. 140 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: When you would look at the World Book in Syclopedia 141 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: was known for textiles, among other things. 142 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: The things that you manufacture there. All of that's gone. Now, 143 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: all of that's gone. The things that North Caroline he 144 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: has been known for are gone. 145 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: So I want to focus on the tariffs and what 146 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to reset the world economy this weekend, 147 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary of Scott percent and others traveling to Geneva 148 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: Switzerland to be with Chinese and the delegation in the 149 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: first talk in the US and China. But I want 150 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: to ask you in your constituents there east of Charlotte 151 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: and that district of yours, what do they think about 152 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: the tariffs? 153 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: Are they standing with Donald Trump? 154 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: There's some pain involved, There's been adjustments in the stock 155 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: market and so forth. What are people saying what would 156 00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: you like to see happen? 157 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I would tell you that, yes, there is some 158 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 5: pain involved, But the calls that I received, the individuals 159 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 5: that I have talked with in the business community that 160 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 5: are feeling some of that pain have continued to say 161 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 5: to me that we've got to stay the course. They understand, 162 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 5: they understand the pain, they understand they're trying to do 163 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 5: ways that they can work around it. But at the 164 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 5: end of the day, they recognize the reason that we're 165 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 5: doing this, and they recognize that President Trump is really 166 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 5: stepping up. And of course the deal that he announced 167 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 5: yesterday with Great Britain that was a huge step in 168 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 5: the right direction. I would love to see one a 169 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 5: week rolled out over the next ninety days. That would 170 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 5: be pretty incredible, because they are sitting down with President 171 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 5: Trump and his team. These countries are in line trying 172 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 5: to level the playing field, if you will, And you're 173 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 5: exactly right when you look at my district. You go 174 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,479 Speaker 5: down seventy four coming out of Charlotte, you go through Wadesboro, 175 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 5: you go through Rockingham, you go through Laurenberg. All of 176 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 5: these were areas that were just booming through textiles, and 177 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 5: we were one bad trade deal away from losing all 178 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 5: of that. And so there is confidence that there's some 179 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 5: things who are going to come back, and we're going 180 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 5: to see manufacturing hopefully return. And I think President Trump 181 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 5: is taking the steps that need to happen, and at 182 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 5: least for my district, in the district of North Carolina, 183 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 5: people are willing to give him a chance and they 184 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 5: understand what he's trying to do. 185 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 2: Well. 186 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: There's one person that you mentioned the House and sen 187 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,599 Speaker 1: I need to get behind one big, beautiful bill and 188 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: get it all the way through. But there is one 189 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: politician gaining some attention nationally there. Tom Tillis is not 190 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: well thought of by some constituents there in your state. 191 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: Sir has not stood with Donald Trump all the way through, 192 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: and maybe is going to be primary here. People are 193 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: way to say with Donald Trump. What about Tom Tillis, 194 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: Is he going to make it through? 195 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 5: Well, you know, I've given up being trying to predict 196 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 5: what's going to happen political in our state. When you 197 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 5: look at North Carolina, I do think that there's a 198 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 5: lot of folks that have a lot of concerns and 199 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 5: are talking about it, but I'm not sure what's going 200 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 5: to happen. We have a state convention that's going to 201 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 5: be coming up here in the next month, and I 202 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 5: think Senator Tillis is going to have to make some 203 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 5: decisions as far as what he is planning to do. 204 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 5: Indications are right now he's planning to run, and we're 205 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 5: just hearing whispers here and there about primary challenges, but 206 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 5: nothing that I know for sure set in stone outside 207 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 5: of a few folks that have said they're going to 208 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 5: jump in but are not currently elected officials, so I'm 209 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 5: not sure where that's going to go. We're trying to 210 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 5: work right now with all our energy to get this 211 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 5: one big, beautiful bill across the finish line, and I 212 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 5: think everybody is going to breathe a sigh of relief 213 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 5: once we can get this to the President's desk and 214 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 5: get it signed. 215 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: I appreciate that kind but I know it's a sensitive question, 216 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: especially in the tar Heel State. So I appreciate you 217 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: being candid about that. One last thing before we go 218 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: here today, and that is the escalation of hostilities between 219 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: Pakistan and India. Everybody's watching, everybody's concerned, but we've seen 220 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: this before. 221 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 2: We don't need another war. We certainly don't need a 222 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: war between two nuclear powers on those planet. 223 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 5: What are your thoughts, Well, obviously, you know, the administration 224 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 5: has a very close relationship with the President of India 225 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 5: or the prom Minister of India. They've had conversations. I 226 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 5: know Marco Rubio just a week or so ago reached 227 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 5: out and hopefully was able to sort of calm things 228 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 5: down from where they are, but then of course they 229 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 5: have erupted. I'm hopeful that this administration is going to 230 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 5: be able to continue to bring some calm to the 231 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 5: midst of that storm and that we don't need another war. 232 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 5: You're exactly right, and I just think that we've got 233 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 5: to use some really good negotiations there and let them 234 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 5: let them settle things. 235 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think people in this country voted for peace 236 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 2: in Donalzu. I'm not for war. We'll see what happens. 237 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: Congress now here. I appreciate you being here on a Friday. 238 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: Enjoy the weekend, sir. 239 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 5: Thank you so much to appreciate what you do. 240 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 2: Thank you all. Right after the break. 241 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: The first American pope selected yesterday. Some happy with the outcome, 242 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: others have some reservations. I get the perspective. Remember of 243 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: the White House Faith Office, in fact. 244 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: A woman that runs it when we come back. 245 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: Well, just yesterday, as you know, history was made the 246 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: election of the first American Pope, Cardinal Robert Prevost from Chicago. 247 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 2: Illinois, will now go by the name of Pope Leo 248 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: the fourteenth. 249 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: Now, I've spoken to people who are happy about the decision, 250 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: others who are a bit concerned. I've seen reports on 251 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: this pope being more concerned than what we previously saw. 252 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: With Pope Francis. I've also noticed that he is in favor. 253 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: Of open borders, one of other things, and not a 254 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: fan of jdve answered Donald Trump from what I can 255 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: gather on social media posts. But besides all that, to 256 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: the matter is that we now have an American pope 257 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: leading the Catholic Church with roughly one point four billion 258 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: members worldwide. When it comes to policy, we'll have to 259 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: see where it goes from here. Expecting unexpected. I guess 260 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: here's me to discuss this from the White House's perspective. 261 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: Is the Senior advisor to the White House Faith Office, 262 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: PAULA White. Paul, and nice to see you again. 263 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 6: It's so great to be with you, Steve, and with 264 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 6: all your listeners. And Happy Mother's Day to all the 265 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 6: moms coming up. 266 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: Huh, yes, ma'am. 267 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: Mother's Day comes Sunday. Folks, make sure you take care 268 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: of your mom if she's still with us. It's an 269 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: important thing to do, all right, mixed returns, I would 270 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: say on the selection now he was considered a dark horse, 271 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: was Father Bob, as he referred to on this program 272 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: yesterday by a man who knew him pretty well, the 273 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: former ambassador to the Holy See. But he looks to 274 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: be almost the handpicked successor to Pope Francis, who by 275 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: many accounts was very progressive. Upset a lot of folks 276 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: in the Catholic Church. But it's a big day for Catholics, 277 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: it's a big day for America. I mean, like I said, 278 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: mixed return. 279 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:06,599 Speaker 2: What do you make of it? 280 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 4: Absolutely Steve Well. 281 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 6: First off, we're very excited that he is the first 282 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 6: ever American pope, and our president often says we're bringing 283 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 6: religion back. And boy has God used this time, this 284 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 6: administration to exalt his name in unknown ways. 285 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,119 Speaker 4: I mean, it's just been phenomenal. 286 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 6: And so we are seeing these first these unprecedented I 287 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 6: think we got to look at a few facts. Number one, 288 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 6: we see that people are returning to church in unprecedented 289 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 6: numbers and scores, young. 290 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 4: People, specifically young men. We see Bible sales up twenty 291 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 4: two percent. 292 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 6: We see this resurgence, renewal, this revival that is taking 293 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 6: place not only in America but also in Europe and 294 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 6: around the world. 295 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 4: And there is a lot that is out on this pope. 296 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 6: But I am going to believe the best as we 297 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 6: pray that he will lead with some of his former 298 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 6: convictions and ways that hold the teachings of the traditional 299 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 6: Catholic Church. We will see good policy and good outcome. 300 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 6: I was encouraged that we saw things that he wrote. 301 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 6: As a bishop in Chiaco, a city in northeastern Peru, 302 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 6: he opposed a government plan to add teachings on gender 303 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 6: and schools, the promotion of gender ideology is confusing because 304 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 6: it seeks to create genders that don't exist, he told 305 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 6: the local report. Also, of course, on the Vatican's official 306 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 6: news website last year, he said the bishop is not 307 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 6: supposed to be a little prince sitting in the kingdom. Rather, 308 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 6: he said, a church leader is called authentically to be humble, 309 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 6: to be close to the people that he serves, and 310 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 6: to walk. 311 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 4: With them and even to suffer with them. 312 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 6: And so we won't know until a person actually leads 313 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 6: and is in that place of responsibility. But I do 314 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 6: encourage people Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox to pray for this pope. 315 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 6: We know that the Word of God says that Thy 316 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 6: Kingdom come, that will be done in earth as it. 317 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 4: Is in heaven. When we pray. They said, well, how 318 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 4: do we pray? And Jesus said, this is how you pray. 319 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 4: Hollow would be thy name. And so we honor God. 320 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 6: We're going to lift up this pope, and we're going 321 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 6: to believe that he stands with the convictions of the 322 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 6: traditional Catholic Church. 323 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 4: We won't know until he actually starts making that policy. 324 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 2: That's true, Yeah, And that's exactly true, Paul. I expect 325 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 2: the unexpected. 326 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: I would say, however, the choice of the name Leo 327 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: the fourteenth, maybe that's an indication. Leo the thirteenth was 328 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: considered a transformative pope, was a pope for twenty five 329 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: years at the end of the nineteenth century and into 330 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: the first couple three years of the twentieth century. 331 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 2: Very transformative. 332 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: He was a person that fought for workers' rights and 333 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: safe work environments and believe that politics and religion did. 334 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 2: In fact mix. 335 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: So maybe if we take that as a you know, 336 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: some sort of an indication, a tea leaf, if you will, Paula, maybe. 337 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 2: This pulpe thinks that politics and religion should mix as well. 338 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 4: We will see. 339 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 6: And you know, of course we've read it that he 340 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 6: is believes in social justice and taking care of the poor. 341 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 6: And Steve winsit here and speculate all day long, because 342 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 6: there's a lot of mixed things out there. As you said, 343 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 6: and as you've pointed out, I'm going to do a 344 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 6: lot of prayer and when to encourage people not to 345 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 6: become the judge until we see the policy. 346 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 4: And at that time, you know, it's it's pretty easy once. 347 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 6: Well, it's never easy, but when you start see policies 348 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 6: start being made and where he stands in a leadership, 349 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 6: it's a lot of weight from one point. For a 350 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 6: billion people that he now represents, that's. 351 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: A lot of folks. 352 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: Yes, and obviously he had a big connection to South 353 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: America with his time spent and proved. Now, one thing 354 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: this time question, Paul, and is not secret. I'm not 355 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: breaking any news here. 356 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 2: The Catholic Church has financial issues in the Vatican currently. 357 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: That's pretty obvious. 358 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: And it's also true that American Catholics contribute more to 359 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,719 Speaker 1: the kitty, to the offering plate, if you will, than 360 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: any other group of Catholics in the world. There might 361 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: have been a consideration there to bring financial stability to 362 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: the Vatican, and. 363 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: Maybe that was one of the reasons he was selected 364 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 2: as well. We'll have to wait and say on that, 365 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: but we do know that the church has some challenges financially, 366 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 2: don't they. 367 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 4: Well, it's been reported. 368 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 6: And again, you know, when someone's leading, you don't think 369 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 6: of these things that there's a business behind it. 370 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 4: There is the financial responsibility. 371 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 6: That he's going to have to shoulder and carry along 372 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 6: with others that are there for Again, we're talking about 373 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 6: a very huge part of society. And then there's the 374 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 6: spiritual responsibility the policy. I think as believers and people 375 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 6: who are followers of Jesus Christ, we need to pray 376 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 6: for the pope. 377 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 4: We need to lift him up. 378 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 6: And I do celebrate that he is from America, and 379 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 6: I'd like his stand on He's a very pro life. 380 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 4: He's made statements that there are only you know, two genders. 381 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 4: It's kind of like that. 382 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 2: It's very clear on both those points. 383 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 6: So let's see. Maybe we'll be having this conversation at 384 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 6: Abount a month or two or six. I'm sure we'll 385 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 6: continue this conversation. But I tend to do what the 386 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 6: Bible says and believe the best in people until they 387 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 6: give me a reason not to. 388 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: I think that's a good path to follow this Mother's 389 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: Day weekend. Paula, I think you're exactly right. Some things 390 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: to consider, some tea leaves maybe, But until things actually happen, 391 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: we can't really tell you what's going to happen until 392 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: we could look at it in the rearview mirror. Paula White, 393 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: Senior advisor to the White House Faith Office. 394 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 2: Always appreciate talking to you man. 395 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Steve, and be blessed you as well. 396 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 2: She is a joy coming up after the break. 397 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: Protests were recently held at a Chicago hobby ind that 398 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: the city converted into a shelter to house illegaliens, a 399 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: scheme that has cost the Chicago taxpayers over one hundred and. 400 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 2: Fifty million dollars. Detailed straight ahead. 401 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: Recently in Chicago, a protest was held at a holiday 402 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: inn that has been transformed into a shelter for illegal 403 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: aliens by the city.

Aside from breaking federal long costing taxpayers 407 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: million of dollars, the shelter seems to have other issues 408 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: that are catching the experts in the area as well. 409 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: It was reported that Chicago Fire Department had responded to 410 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: multiple maternity calls from the shelter, including calls where a 411 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: woman had a miscarriage without knowing she had. 412 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 2: A sexually transmitted infection. 413 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: All of this going on, it's what the taxpayer dollars 414 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: are going toward in Chicago.

You know, the illegal immigration. 427 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 4: Challenge and issues used to be in the city. 428 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 7: They spread all over the Chicaguan community, and now they're everywhere, 429 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 7: especially when the original shelters shut down, the original twenty 430 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 7: seven and then this Holiday Inn is one of the 431 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 7: old shelters that has reopened under one system initiative, which 432 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 7: is a facade by Mayor Johnson to pretend it's for 433 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 7: homeless people. He stopped counting the. 434 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 2: New arrivals. 435 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 7: He calls them new arrivals in January, so they don't 436 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 7: just want us to know how many new arrivals come. 437 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 7: They're pretending that this is for homeless shelters, and then 438 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 7: they embed the illegal immigrants in Venezuelans. For instance, this 439 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 7: hotel is almost all Venezuelans and very little homeless people, 440 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 7: and that's the intent, is to hide how much money 441 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 7: they are continuing to spend on these illegal immigrants. I 442 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 7: just had another foy that I haven't even released yet, 443 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 7: that had shown a Democratic politician I forgot the woman's 444 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 7: name for the Northwest Suburbs complaining to the Deputy Mayor 445 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 7: and other folks within the administration of Grant administration two 446 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 7: hundred and ninety million dollars they get from the state 447 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 7: of Illinois.

Honestly, I hope he does. That's our only 504 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 7: chance because I know he's upset with what the Democrats 505 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 7: did to him. 506 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 2: You know, I know he is.

All right, So I had a chance 556 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: to sit down with Congresswoman Kat Chemick of Florida's third 557 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: congressional district, where we discuss the importance of the App 558 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: Store Freedom Act. Think a look, happy Friday. Yeah, it's 559 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: been another blistering week. I mean, how do people keep 560 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: up with Donald Trump? I mean, honestly, here's a guy 561 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: who's seventy eight years old. He wears me out and 562 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm just watching right. 563 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: The short answer is that they don't. The man sleeps 564 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 3: four hours. 565 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 8: He's running circles around his twenty three year old you know, 566 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 8: staffers in the White House, and it's a bit of 567 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 8: a running joke here on Capitol Hill that the man 568 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 8: has endless endless energy, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, and I 569 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 8: think his only vice is diet coke. 570 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 2: And Big Max that coke and Big Max. There you go. 571 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got some legislation going through here, and I 572 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: want you to tell this to the folks. It's important 573 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: Google is not the thousand pound gorilla anymore because there 574 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: are other options. Elon mussing, check out Rock before you 575 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: go to Google. Don't google it Rocket, he says. And 576 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,719 Speaker 1: there's some good that, but pushing the App Store Freedom 577 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: Act to limit Apple and Google's absolute control over all 578 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: these apps. I mean they a person can live and 579 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: die financially speaking as a business owner. If Apple Google 580 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: say yeah, you're an a to an app. 581 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 8: Can't they absolutely? This has kind of been the sleeping 582 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 8: giant that a few especially in industry, have talked about, 583 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 8: known about, been very frustrated with. But consumers are just 584 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 8: really tuning into the lack of competition in the space. 585 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 3: And they're starting to ask questions, which is I think 586 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 3: a good thing. 587 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 8: You have a situation where if you buy an iPhone, 588 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 8: it's your property, right, Well, Apple has the App Store 589 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 8: and you can't put another marketplace on your. 590 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,479 Speaker 3: Phone to download the apps. 591 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 8: So one of the challenges that we have is one 592 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 8: having that consumer choice available for people. If you effectively, 593 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 8: Google and Apple have an oligopoly on what people can 594 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 8: choose from in terms of the apps that they have 595 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 8: in those stores. 596 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 3: The second thing is on the developer and the app side. 597 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 8: You have to pay thirty percent gross profits of your 598 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 8: company to Apple or Google, and that to me is 599 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 8: just incredibly wrong. They then control your user's data, so 600 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 8: the customers that utilize those apps, and Spotify is a 601 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 8: very good example of this. People always wonder why you 602 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,959 Speaker 8: can't change your membership or doing a transaction through Apple 603 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 8: or Google for Spotify, Well, it's because Spotify didn't want 604 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 8: to turn over thirty percent of their profits. But more 605 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 8: than that, they didn't want their customer's data to be 606 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 8: housed with Apple where they would have to go and. 607 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 3: Ask permission in order to get their customers data. So 608 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 3: there's a lot of really interesting aspects to this. 609 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 8: Many of the courts are stepping in talking about how 610 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 8: there's antitrust issues. There's a competition, unfair competition that is 611 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 8: taking place. So this is a common sense way that 612 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 8: we can address the marketplace, getting back to the core 613 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 8: principles of free markets. 614 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 3: I think it's a good thing for consumers. 615 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 8: I think it's a good thing for startups and apps 616 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 8: and for anyone who says, oh, well, Apple needs to 617 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 8: be the sole person, sole entity that controls the marketplace 618 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 8: for security. Spare me any marketplace that is housing apps 619 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 8: that are malware spyware like teamu TikTok, give me a break. 620 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 8: They can use that on someone else who will believe them. 621 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 8: But I think this is a very exciting time for competition, especially. 622 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 2: And well, it would be nice, wouldn't that. 623 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: It'd be nice to have people that could freely enter 624 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: the market and either their product survive or failed based. 625 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 2: On the quality of the product. 626 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: On the side of the gorilla that they're fighting against, 627 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: it already has control of the market. 628 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 2: And that's the way it's supposed to work. You know, 629 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 2: great ideas, at least in my theory of America. 630 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: We're supposed to have a chance to make it to 631 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: the marketplace, and that doesn't always happen. 632 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 2: People get crushed. 633 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,479 Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, I mean this is just lowering the barrier 634 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 8: to entry, allowing people consumer choice, right of what marketplace 635 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 8: they want to use. They should be able to take 636 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 8: the Apple Store off of their phone and download the 637 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 8: marketplace of their choice, but currently that's not the case. 638 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 8: So this is reducing barriers to entry, fostering competition. And 639 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 8: really we all remember that that infamous situation with Parlor, 640 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 8: the conservative social media app. Apple didn't like what they 641 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,959 Speaker 8: were doing, so they deplatformed them defectionally. Yeah, took their 642 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 8: entire business with them. So that's the kind of power 643 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 8: that no one should have. And so this is something 644 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 8: to directify a long time wrong. 645 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 2: I guess the good night news for Parlors that they're back. 646 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: They're trying to come back from you know, the grave, 647 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: but it's a hard road back for sure. 648 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 2: Now I want to move on to something else here. 649 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: Maternal health support of the Preventing Maternal Death Reauthorization Act 650 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: to Reduce Maternal Mortality. 651 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 2: What's this about? 652 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 8: You know, it's it's something that I've become more attuned 653 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 8: to since finding out I'm expecting.

It was shocking to me to find out 659 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 8: that maternal deaths in this country continue to go up 660 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 8: instead of go down. 661 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 3: We don't lead the world in terms of. 662 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 8: Best health outcomes for mothers and their children, and to me, 663 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 8: that is unacceptable. 664 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 3: And along this journey, I've been finding a tremendous amount of. 665 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 8: Issues in this space where uh, you know, you've got 666 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 8: tell savings accounts that won't cover any of the doctor's 667 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 8: appointments leading up to giving birth, insurance companies that play 668 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 8: a ton of games. 669 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 3: I can give you some. 670 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 2: Pretty smar Sure right, it's time to be. 671 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 3: Pretty shocking. 672 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got, in fact, you've got your hands in 673 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: all sorts of things. I've got a whole list of 674 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: things here that I would like to ask you about. 675 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to jump to the NPR because good fun. Look, 676 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: NPR and PBS get a tremendous amount of money from 677 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: me and you and all the taxpayers. Look, I don't 678 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: get any money from the government. I have to sit 679 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: out here and compete for viewership and advertisers. And I 680 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: don't see that NPR and PBS should be treated any differently, 681 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: and we spend a lot of money there that they 682 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: could be directed to something much more useful. 683 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 3: What say you, Well, you're one hundred percent right, Steve. 684 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 8: We spend almost half a billion dollars to fund entities 685 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 8: like NPR. 686 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 3: And keep in mind when NPR came about, there wasn't. 687 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 8: Really a lot of options in the space to deliver 688 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 8: information across the country. The landscape has changed dramatically, so 689 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 8: the original mission set has changed. And then you just 690 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 8: look at the unquestionable bias. When you have eighty seven 691 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 8: of your eighty nine newsroom reporters that are registered Democrats, 692 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 8: many of them are Democrat owners, that tells you. 693 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 3: Everything that you need to know. 694 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 8: So I don't think that they have proven that they 695 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 8: can remain neutral and give a unbiased perspective. They've become 696 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 8: effectively a propaganda wing for the Democrat Party. 697 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 3: And if that's what they want to do, fine, you 698 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 3: just won't do it on the taxpayers. 699 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 8: Tyme. 700 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 2: I agree with that.

She's been giving his latest 828 00:40:39,320 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: from what's happening there straight ahead. It's an excitement and 829 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: American Pope. Interesting stuff. What did Caroline have to say earlier? 830 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I love how she combats the mainstream media. 831 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 11: You know, President Trump has this big Middle East visit 832 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 11: next week. He's heading to Saudi Arabia on I believe 833 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 11: Tuesday and Wednesday and then on to Cutter and UAE. 834 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 11: And you had a highly antagonistic member of the media 835 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 11: asking if President if there were concerns that President Trump 836 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 11: was going to be wheeling and dealing personally as far 837 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 11: as you know, personal business deals, And Caroline Levett took 838 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 11: the prime moment to capitalize on the past president's business 839 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 11: dealings as we all know, with CEFC in China, among 840 00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 11: other companies in Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan, etc. So the media 841 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,359 Speaker 11: is obviously trying to have their framing when it comes 842 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,320 Speaker 11: to even a trip like this, President Trump heading to 843 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 11: the Gulf States where no doubt he is going to 844 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 11: fortify a lot of those economic ties as the President 845 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 11: or as Caroline Levitt talked about yesterday, and the president 846 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 11: up to ten trillion dollars worth of foreign investments in 847 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 11: this country. 848 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,760 Speaker 12: And you look at those countries in the Middle East. 849 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 11: Saudi Arabia, Cutter and UAE, namely, they have some deep 850 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,320 Speaker 11: pockets when it comes to investments. So I imagine President 851 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 11: Trump is going to come home with quite a few 852 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 11: trophies when it comes to benefiting the American people economically. 853 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,399 Speaker 2: Well, you look at what happened with the UK. 854 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: Was that Tuesday, Wednesday, this week, whatever day it was, 855 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: the UK came in first ones to agree to a 856 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: trade deal. A few details we worked out, but it's 857 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 1: a done deal there. That's the first dominant fault. And 858 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 1: you think about all these naysayers, whether it's the media 859 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: or Democrats, Oh, Trump's tariffs are. 860 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 2: Going to fail. 861 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 1: Not only are they not failing, the markets almost all 862 00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: the way back to where it was. 863 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 2: Remember a couple of weeks ago. 864 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: Man, they're telling us it's the worst Wall Street week 865 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: in one hundred years or some silly thing here. 866 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 2: It is all the mills all the way back. 867 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: If the trade deals get put in place, and some 868 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: of these interistrates come down. Six months from now, we 869 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 1: could be in an economy that's is roaring. I mean, 870 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 1: it's that close and that possible, isn't it? 871 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 12: It absolutely is. I mean we are right on the 872 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 12: cusp of that. 873 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 11: And I was talking to cushta Side, Deputy Press Secretary, 874 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 11: earlier today and that's what he was talking about. It's 875 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 11: what President Trump's entire negotiating team has been talking about. 876 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 11: When you get that one, that one deal that breaks 877 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 11: the seal, the seal deal breaker is the one that 878 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 11: you know, it's a cascading effect for other countries afterwards. 879 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 12: President Trump has been an integral part of all of this. 880 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 11: In fact, the UK ambassador to the United States said 881 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 11: that in the announcement yesterday. Oftentimes you have you have 882 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,840 Speaker 11: a trade team like we do with Howard Lutnick as 883 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 11: Commerce secretarians, as a Treasury secretary, and our trade representative. 884 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 11: You have that team, but it's not often that you 885 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 11: have the world leader who's in the room, who's having 886 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 11: the negotiations, who's stipulating the terms required. 887 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 12: But President Trump is that hands. 888 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 11: On and so I think for other world leaders they're 889 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 11: probably going to be a little bit intimidated when they 890 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 11: get to the point where Penn hits the pad and 891 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 11: they say, oh my gosh, the President is still here 892 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 11: negotiating with us. 893 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: He's going to get it done. That's what this is 894 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: what the people voted for. Amanda Head. I have to 895 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,399 Speaker 1: leave it there on our Friday.
