1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Coming up on Special Report.

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 2: President Trump's first two weeks in office are marked by

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: sweeping immigration reform. We'll discuss all of the changes he

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: has already set in place with Attorney Esther Valdez.

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 3: Clayton, and health experts are now warning of a respiratory

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 3: crisis among Los Angeles County residents after some of California's

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 3: worst fires in history scorched tens of thousands of acres

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 3: of land. Board member at Heelcorp Christy Hutcherson joins us

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: with more details.

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Ann's comedian Jeff Ahern joins us to bring a humorous

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 2: touch to the news of the day. All of that

12
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: and more right now on Special Report. All right, Happy

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: Friday everyone, The countdown to the weekend has begun. Thank

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: you so much for tuning into this hour of Special

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: I am Emily Finn alongside Bo Davidson. During President Trump's

16
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: first two weeks in office, his administration has focused heavily

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: on immigration reform. Tens of thousands of illegals have already

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: been arrested across the US as part of a sweeping

19
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: mass deportation plan. The President is delivering on his promises

20
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: to stop the invasion of migrants, signing executive orders to

21
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: end birthright citizenship and declaring a national emergency at our

22
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: southern border, enabling him to deploy military troops there. And

23
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: this week, Trump signed the Lake and Riley Act, which

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: gives immigration agents more power to detain or deport illegals

25
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: charged with breaking the law. The measure was named after

26
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: the twenty two year old nursing student who was killed

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: last year by an illegal immigrant at the University of

28
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: Georgia campus. Lacoln's mother gave an emotional speech the day

29
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: that Trump signed the bill into law.

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: Take a listen.

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: We also want to thank President Trump. Were the promises

32
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 4: he made us. He said he would secure our borders

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 4: and that he would never forget get about lacn And

34
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: he's a man of his word. Trust that he will

35
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 4: fight for the American people.

36
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: And we'd like to welcome in Attorney Esther Valdeals Clayton

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: to the show for discussion. Esther, how is this new

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: legislation going to protect Americans from violent criminals living in

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: the US illegally?

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 5: Good afternoon.

41
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 6: Basically, what it does is that anybody who's here undocumented

42
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 6: without legal authorization to be in the United States, there

43
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 6: has to be a mandatory detention if they're caught for

44
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,559
Speaker 6: minor crimes, just like lac and Riley's killer, for shoplifting,

45
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 6: for theft crimes, and for assaulting an officer as well.

46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 6: But more importantly, what it gives is the Secretary of

47
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 6: States of every state and the attorney generals the ability

48
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 6: to sue immigration officers and sue local authorities if they

49
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 6: do release a predator out into the community and they

50
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 6: do cause harm.

51
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, as there are cities across the US right

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: now they're really cracking down on criminal illegal immigrants. We're

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: seeing a wave of arrests as ICE conducts rays to

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: track them down. Up to ten thousand troops are expected

55
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: to descend along the southern border in San Diego, marking

56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: one of the largest deportations in US history. Some law

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: enforcement officials throughout the country, though, especially in Chicago, are refusing.

58
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: To comply with President Trump's orders.

59
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: They're neglecting to help ICE with their deportation efforts. So

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: despite this pushback, it does seem like Trump's borders are

61
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: Tom Holman, Secretary of Homeland Security, Christinome. They're already making strides.

62
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: In the first couple of weeks. How do you think

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: that they are handling the deportation so far.

64
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 6: Well, they're going after people that are already in the system,

65
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 6: and we knew they were in the system because they

66
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 6: committed heinous crimes. They committed domestic violence, child molestation, child rape.

67
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 6: So they were released under the Biden administration, they went

68
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 6: back into immigrant communities to reoffend. So now under the

69
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 6: Trump administration, that catch and release policy is now over.

70
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 6: Now they're going after people who are not only just supportable,

71
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 6: but also had admitted a criminal act or had been

72
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 6: received a conviction. So there's two main areas of people

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 6: who are now deportable, and that's what we're seeing huge

74
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 6: amounts of ICE activity from San Diego all the way

75
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 6: to the East coast. But we're not seeing are these

76
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 6: mass raids and this hysteria that a lot of people

77
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 6: are reacting to that Latinos in general are being rounded

78
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 6: up for being brown or being Latino. That's not what's happening. Again,

79
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 6: Tom Homan has repeated, these are targeted raids for criminal

80
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 6: undocumented immigrants.

81
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: Aster A federal judge has blocked President Trump's executive order

82
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: ending birthright citizenship, which is set to go into effect

83
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: in just a.

84
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 7: Matter of weeks.

85
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 3: Do you think the Supreme Court will side with Trump

86
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: and uphold the constitutionality of the order.

87
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 5: It really depends on what the public outlook is.

88
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 6: The Supreme Court justices, they take a look at public

89
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 6: opinion and they are going to basically have to interpret

90
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 6: what it means to be a US citizen based on

91
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 6: the fourteenth Amendment that was originally drafted for the descendants

92
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 6: of slaves that had been freedom the Emancipation of Proclamation.

93
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 6: What the Fourteenth Amendment says is that you are a

94
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 6: US citizen if you're naturalized or if you're born in

95
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 6: the United States and you're subject to the territory thereof.

96
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 6: The question for the Supreme Court is, is a person

97
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 6: who entered here and lawfully and jumped the fence like

98
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 6: we're seeing right now, are they subject to the authority?

99
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 6: Were they ever legally admitted and inspected?

100
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 5: The answer usually is no.

101
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 6: They continue to be citizens of their country of origin,

102
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 6: and so are their children.

103
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 5: And that's what the Trump administration's fighting.

104
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 6: Give us an interpretation either for birthright citizenship as that

105
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 6: will end, or whether they are in fact subject to

106
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 6: the jurisdiction thereof, and they're lawfully present in the United States.

107
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 6: We knew all along these litigation was going to happen.

108
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 6: We knew that it was going to end up in

109
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 6: the Supreme Court, and that's what the Supreme Court has

110
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 6: to decide whether they have the political wherewithal encouraged to

111
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 6: do so, will were yet to see.

112
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: That's a really interesting point there, Esther.

113
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: Do you have any insight into public opinion on first

114
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: of all, this birthright citizenship order, but also the mass deportations,

115
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 2: everything that Trump is doing for immigration reform. When I

116
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: look at the poll numbers, it seems like, you know,

117
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 2: they're very supportive of this. The American people are very supportive.

118
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: But what insight are you getting?

119
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 6: Well, I am an immigration attorney, and what I see

120
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 6: is that Americans have always supported legal immigration. What they

121
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 6: do not support is mass immigration, mass caravans of lawlessness

122
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 6: that we saw under the Biden administration where eight million

123
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 6: people were apprehended.

124
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 5: So most Americans understand that.

125
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 6: This is not eighteen sixty seven where birthright citizenship is

126
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 6: gained just by touching foot here in America, what we're

127
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 6: seeing is Americans want to end a lot of people

128
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 6: who come from China just to give birth, have a

129
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 6: US citizen take the child back that has allegiance and

130
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 6: traditions to another nation, not America. What we want as

131
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 6: Americans is for our traditions and our values to continue,

132
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 6: and the best way to do that is with people

133
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 6: who do have an allegiance and who are subject to

134
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 6: our laws, our authority, our culture, and traditions. So that's

135
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 6: basically what's going to take place here shortly. But that's

136
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 6: the intention of what the Supreme Court's going to do

137
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 6: that has never been interpreted before through the Fourteenth Amendment language.

138
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: Esther has the speaking of which the Supreme Court in

139
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 3: its current composition, have any of the justices given any

140
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 3: sort of indication on where they stand, would this be

141
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: something likely that would go straight down Republican Democrat lines

142
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: in terms of who appointed them, or could it be

143
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: swung entirely a different way that we have not seen yet.

144
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 5: My hope is that it's not political.

145
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 6: What we do want is a conservative interpretation of what

146
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 6: the text says, and usually conservative judges tend to stick

147
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 6: to the original intent. What was the original intent of

148
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 6: the drafters when they drafted the Fourteenth Amendment? Oh, well,

149
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 6: we have their writings. What do the writings say, Well,

150
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 6: they were worried about the descendants of the slaves that

151
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 6: had been freed in eighteen sixty three, that slaveholders in

152
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 6: the South would then enslave their children and their children children.

153
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 6: So they decided to draft the Fourteenth Amendments saying that

154
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 6: you were a citizen if you were born in the

155
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 6: United States, if you were naturalizing the United States, and

156
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 6: you were subject to these laws. They never intended a

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 6: lot of the birth tourism that we see in Miami

158
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 6: and San Francisco from all areas of the United States,

159
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 6: people flying in from even our enemy countries having US

160
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 6: born children so that they can later have chain migration.

161
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 6: That was not the intent. So that's basically what the

162
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 6: judges are going to do. The conservative ones are going

163
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 6: to stick to the original language of the law, the

164
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 6: original intent, with the original interpretation, and the liberal judges

165
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 6: are going to expand they have a notion of that

166
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 6: the Constitution is a living document and that gives them

167
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 6: any kind of interpretation that they want that's convenient to

168
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 6: them politically.

169
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's absolutely overdue for us to be

170
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: taking a closer look at our laws that we have

171
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: on the books in regards to immigration. I want to

172
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: keep in mind, you know what we saw over the

173
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: past four years under the Biden administration.

174
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: Do you think that he should be held.

175
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: Accountable or anyone in that administration should be held accountable

176
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: at all for basically letting us have open borders. I mean,

177
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: they welcomed the invasion that we saw while they were

178
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: in power.

179
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Where's the accountability?

180
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 6: I think the main source of accountability and the first

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 6: source of investigation has to land with DHS.

182
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 5: Alejandro Majorica as the director.

183
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 6: He knew the law. He knew that he wanted to

184
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 6: flout the law. Whether or not it was intentional, null knowing,

185
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 6: willful flouting of the law, we don't know, but we

186
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 6: do see the disastrous results of the policies and where

187
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 6: he didn't attain there was no mandatory detention for people

188
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 6: like Lake and Riley's killer that were released into sanctuary

189
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 6: cities to then reoffend and ultimately kill his victim. That's

190
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 6: what we want to stop. When the law says there

191
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 6: is a mandatory detention, just like the lacn. Riley Act

192
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 6: has now ingrained in law, that's what we want. We

193
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 6: want officials that will follow the law so that that

194
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 6: doesn't happen again.

195
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 8: Aster.

196
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: What more would you like to see President Trump do

197
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: to crack down on illegal immigration. I'm just ordering from

198
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: a state and local perspective. You know, you don't want

199
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 3: to create a bunch of Karens that turn people in

200
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: for no reason. But if they have legitimate reason to

201
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 3: believe that there's crime being committed and those people are illegal,

202
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 3: is there a way that the federal authorities can work

203
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: with the state and local authorities to provide a better

204
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: sense of transparency to identify who is illegally here, specifically

205
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: criminal illegal aliens.

206
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 6: Well, we have the clause to be able to redefine that,

207
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 6: and we need to clamp down to the Trumpe administration

208
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 6: be able to enforce that with lawless sanctuary cities and

209
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 6: say we are not forced to obey you. You need

210
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 6: to obey what the federal laws say, and the federal

211
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 6: laws say that we have the authority of the jurisdiction

212
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 6: and the domain to execute immigration laws and to enforce

213
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 6: immigration laws. What I would like to see is the

214
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 6: clearing of three point seven million immigration cases in the

215
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 6: current immigration court system. That's where I practice, so that

216
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 6: the fifteen percent of asylum seekers that have real cases

217
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 6: are able to be heard and a jew municated within

218
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 6: a year or two. There's no reason why an asylum

219
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 6: case should take five to seven years. The only reason

220
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 6: because that happens is because there's a clog of three

221
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 6: point seven million people who have no valid claims for asylum,

222
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 6: being that they cannot prove that they're going to be

223
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 6: tortured or persecuted on account of their race or religion

224
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 6: if the return to their country of origin.

225
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 5: That's what I would like to see. That's what Americans

226
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 5: want to see.

227
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: All right, Esther, We really really appreciate all of your

228
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: insight on this today. Looking forward to speaking with you

229
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: again about this. We know that President Trump is full

230
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: steam ahead trying to fix our immigration system.

231
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Thank you again.

232
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: Now coming up, as Los Angeles County begins to rebuild

233
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 2: from the devastating California fires, health experts are now sounding

234
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 2: the alarm on a respiratory crisis caused by the flames.

235
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: We'll discuss with.

236
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: Healthcore board member Christy Hutcherson after the break. Stay with us,

237
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: Welcome back to special reports. Firefighters have been able to

238
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: contain nearly all of the active wildfires in California, leading

239
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 2: those impacted.

240
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: To now ask what's next.

241
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: The rebuilding process will take years, and President Trump has

242
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: promised to help after a tour of the damage. Tens

243
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: of thousands of acres of land were burned and twenty

244
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 2: nine people lost their lives due to the blaze.

245
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: Now there's new concerns and they're all.

246
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: Rising over respiratory crisis for residents living near the areas

247
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: where the fires broke out.

248
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: Joining us now for more on this is the founder

249
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 3: of Women Fighting for America and board member of Healcorp,

250
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: Christy Hutcherson.

251
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 7: Christy, thank you so much for being with us today.

252
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 9: Thank you so much for having me well, Christy.

253
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 3: The damage is to residents' homes and belongings has been

254
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: a main focus of the fire's impact. But tell us

255
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: more about the new health concerns for those affected.

256
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 9: Absolutely well. Doctor Raji's for he is a world renowned

257
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 9: disease doctor. He has worked on everything from when the

258
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 9: COVID hit. He's been in and out of different places

259
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 9: all throughout the world and he's really well recognized. He

260
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 9: is our chief medical officer and he actually was in

261
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 9: Iraq when we got the news that California had broken

262
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 9: out in these wildfires, and like we do in He'll

263
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 9: Corp and our natural disaster, we pivot and we go

264
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 9: to where the disaster is and where the line is.

265
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 9: And so when we have our individuals on the gown,

266
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 9: our medical teams on the ground, one of the first

267
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 9: things that we notice was, of course you get all

268
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 9: of this smoke, but then you have all of this ash. Well,

269
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 9: that ash in that fire. That smoke mixes with toxins,

270
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 9: whether it's in the air or in the water or

271
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 9: what's been burning, and so this long term effect from

272
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 9: this heavy, thick, pollutant smoke is going to cause irritation

273
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 9: right into the lungs. And those who have actually breathed

274
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 9: in this, whether you're a fir responder of those who

275
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 9: have been volunteering on the ground or in the local community,

276
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 9: has this effect in their lungs.

277
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: So we understand that you guys are not only a

278
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: Heelcorp that is not only on the ground in California

279
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: helping out, but also in North Carolina where there was

280
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: significant hurricane damage. Tell us more about what those teams

281
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: are doing to help out those community members.

282
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 9: Absolutely, well, I don't know if you're aware. But currently

283
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 9: in North Carolina, there's fires that have broken out in

284
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 9: the last forty eight hours, so our teams are actually

285
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 9: dealing with that. So those poor residents of North Carolina

286
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 9: had to deal with the after effects of Hurricane Helena

287
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 9: are now dealing with fires that have broken out, which

288
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 9: of course is going to complicate things further. Our teams

289
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 9: have been on the ground since day one, and we're

290
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 9: thrilled to let your listeners know through the generosity of donations,

291
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 9: we're able to provide safe drinking water, which is a huge,

292
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 9: huge problem. And you probably heard President Trump talking about

293
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 9: the water, the toxic levels of water in the boil

294
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 9: water notices that are still going on. But our teams

295
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 9: have been able to purchase these life saving water filtration systems.

296
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,239
Speaker 9: Not only have we been giving them out to individuals

297
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 9: and residents, but we've actually been that life blood, that

298
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 9: water blood for fire stations, giving them this sophisticated water

299
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 9: filtration system.

300
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 7: Well.

301
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: During his visit to California to tour the damage from

302
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: the Los Angeles fires, Donald Trump said he believes FEMA

303
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: should be dismantled and responses to disasters like this should

304
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: be handled on the state level.

305
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 7: What needs to be done. Do you think to revamp FEMA.

306
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 9: Well, I firmly believe you know, I live in Florida,

307
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 9: by the way, this is where I was born and raised,

308
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 9: so I'm not new to hurricanes and dealing with FEMA.

309
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 9: FEMA is one hundred percent completely broken. They I don't

310
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 9: want to say they're irrelevant, but I can tell you

311
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 9: they're ineffective. And because they're ineffective, we pay a lot

312
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 9: of money into it from our taxes to protect us

313
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 9: when natural disasters come about. There's more bureaucracy and more

314
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 9: red tape with FEMA than anywhere else. And I'm a

315
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 9: government contractor. I've been in the DoD space for a

316
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 9: very long time, so this is something I really do understand.

317
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 9: We need to revamp FEMA. I personally believe that it's

318
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 9: a private public partnership that's going to get things done.

319
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 9: We need to develop what's called what I love lovingly

320
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 9: term as a rapid response force, a disaster rapid response force,

321
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 9: and that's through public and private partnerships hand in hand,

322
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 9: working together at the state level, the federal level, and

323
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 9: those individuals who are like ourselves, whether it's Kennedy Rapid

324
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 9: Response Force, Women Fighting for America, the Red Cross, Heel

325
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 9: Corp organizations who have been doing this right, the Sentinel

326
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 9: Group bringing us to the table and having a voice

327
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 9: so we can come and say this is what we

328
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 9: believe needs to happen. When you have natural disasters, you

329
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 9: have a very short and do to get in there

330
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 9: pre stage and there's the keyword. You must be pre

331
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 9: stage with what we like to call sentinel centers right

332
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 9: where we have prepositioned water, food, rescue supplies, whatever that

333
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 9: looks like at the incoming threat, and then that we

334
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 9: are immediately being able to deploy our rapid response teams

335
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 9: on the ground. And then also during pre post and

336
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 9: during these natural disasters, and it could be civil unrest,

337
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 9: it could be a lot of things. But I think

338
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 9: that the President would be really wise to bring individuals

339
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 9: to the table who have been there, done that, who

340
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 9: can help formulate this new disaster response force.

341
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and there certainly are many initiatives from private organizations

342
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 2: underway to get aid to California residents, to help people

343
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 2: in North Carolina that are struggling as well. But it

344
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: sounds like what he Corp Is doing is really remarkable.

345
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: I mean it sounds like you have a ton of

346
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: experience with being there on the ground and responding to

347
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: these kinds of disasters. What can people do to help

348
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: out and what do those impacted by especially the fires

349
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles County, what do they need the most

350
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: right now?

351
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 5: Right now?

352
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm going to be honest, the disasters kind

353
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 9: of under control. Now, it's mitigating how the residents are

354
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 9: going to be able to clear their land. Met from

355
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 9: a medical perspective of what Heeal Corps doing, we had

356
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 9: a free medical clinic set up with Fearless Church. Shout

357
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 9: out to Fearless Church. They stepped in, rolled up their sleeves,

358
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 9: they partnered with us, and they were incredible, and so

359
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 9: we had our free medical and that's going to be

360
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 9: long term making sure that the residents constantly. If you're

361
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 9: starting to cough, if you feel irritation, you need to

362
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 9: go get that checked out because there could be long

363
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 9: term effects from your lungs. However, shifting gears, we need

364
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 9: to look at policy. California is a little bit of

365
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 9: a sticky wicket because they have so much overregulation and

366
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 9: so much bureaucracy and no common sense, and so what

367
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 9: we need to do is change the way the residents

368
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 9: are lowed to go back in and start rebuilding their lives.

369
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 9: The other thing that I believe firmly needs to be

370
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 9: done at a federal level, and that in whether it's

371
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 9: North Carolina, Florida, or California or any other we've got

372
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 9: to look at how the insurance companies do business in

373
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 9: these states that are prone to these major natural disasters.

374
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 9: You know, homeowners specifically, they pay a lot of money

375
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 9: and when they need the help the most, the insurance

376
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 9: companies through loopholes that are allowed by our bureaucracy, by

377
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 9: these politicians because there's big money and they get big

378
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 9: checks for their donations when it comes timed for reelection.

379
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 9: We've got to close these loopholes.

380
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 7: Yeah.

381
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 3: Thanks, I hate to catch you off there, but you're

382
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: one hundred percent right. The insurance situation has to be

383
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 3: looked at with a fine tooth comb, so they need

384
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: to get on that.

385
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 7: Thank you so much, Christy, appreciate your time.

386
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 9: Thank you so much.

387
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 3: God bless and coming up, we will speak with our

388
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 3: very own rab White House correspondent, Brian Glenn about all

389
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: the latest goings on in Washington, DC.

390
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 7: We'll be back in a moment.

391
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 2: Well, the IRS is the largest collection agency in the

392
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: world and it just stepped up enforcement for twenty twenty five.

393
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: If you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, do

394
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: not wait for the IRS to come after you. Simply

395
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: avoiding your tax troubles is the worst thing you can do.

396
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: Getting ahead of this is the smart move. But never

397
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: never contact the IRS alone. Turn it over to the

398
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: team at tax Network USA. Why because not all tax

399
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: resolution companies are the same.

400
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 7: They are not.

401
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 3: Tax Network USA has a preferred direct line to the IRS.

402
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 3: This means that they know which agents to deal with

403
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: and which to avoid. Tax Network USA has proven strategies

404
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 3: that are designed to settle your tax problems in your favor,

405
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 3: whether you owe ten thousand dollars or ten million dollars.

406
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: Their attorneys and negotiators have resolved over one billion in

407
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 3: tax debt. Talk with one of their strategists because it's free,

408
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 3: Stop the threatening letters, stop looking over your shoulder, and

409
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 3: put your IRS troubles behind you once and for all.

410
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: Called one eight hundred and nine zero five eight thousand,

411
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 3: or visit TNUSA dot com, slash rav and welcome back

412
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 3: to Special Report and our continuing coverage of Capitol Hill,

413
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 3: we turned to our favorite Rav White House correspondent, Brian Glenn.

414
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 7: Brian, I want to.

415
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 3: Revisit some of the news that broke about the DC

416
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 3: plane crash, and I believe we were awaiting actually an

417
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 3: NTSB presser that's coming up pretty soon. The New York

418
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: Times had reported that Reagan National's air traffic control was

419
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 3: understaffed and one person was doing the job of two,

420
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 3: where the choppers and aircraft should be separated to two

421
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: different people's duties. In addition, the Blackhawk helicopter seems to

422
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 3: have been flying at a higher altitude than it should

423
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: have been. What is the NTSB making publicly available?

424
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 7: What do we know?

425
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 10: Well, those are two great facts, and you know, President

426
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 10: Trump stated that yesterday that that black Hawk was a

427
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 10: little higher than what it should have been, and notes

428
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 10: the aviation industry in general has really been understaff ever

429
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 10: since COVID, which forced a lot of pilots, a lot

430
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 10: of ground support, a lot of maintenance crews out of

431
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 10: a job, and so in general, this does not surprise

432
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 10: me at all that this.

433
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 8: Report says that.

434
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 10: And now, one of the questions I was going to

435
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 10: ask yesterday was what incentives can the government do to

436
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 10: make sure that we feel these jobs a bow that's

437
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 10: needed right now, and we kind of bring up a

438
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 10: new generation of air traffic controllers, ground support pilots all

439
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 10: across the board, because we are in desperate need right now.

440
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 10: And not to say that that was one could have

441
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 10: been one contributing factor, excuse me, in that accident. But

442
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 10: as of right now, I mean, details are slowly rolling out.

443
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Brian, we are learning from the New York

444
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: Posts that the FAA is embroiled in a lawsuit in

445
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: which one hundred FAA applicants were denied employment due to

446
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: not being diverse enough. I mean, this is probably why

447
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: Trump immediately mentioned that the understaffing problem was DEI related.

448
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 2: Of course, he saw on mainstream media outlets jumping on

449
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: that and saying that he made that claim without anything

450
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 2: to support it, with no evidence behind it. But do

451
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: you think that this could have been a significant factor, Brian.

452
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 8: I think so.

453
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 10: I mean, I don't think the President would have said

454
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 10: that if there wasn't any ounce of truth in it

455
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 10: to a certain degree. And in course, yeah, the legacy

456
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 10: media jumped right on that and began to push back

457
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 10: against the president, which we expected them to do. But

458
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 10: you know, he once again, you know, he wants you

459
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 10: could start with his administration. Even if you look at

460
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 10: the diversity that he has in his administration alone, he

461
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 10: didn't hire them because of their gender or or the

462
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 10: skin color. You hired him because of the best at

463
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 10: what they do. And I think that just needs to

464
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 10: resonate to the private sector as well and get the

465
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 10: DEI out of our culture. It's interesting to see how

466
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 10: just right after the election, just how many corporations quickly

467
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 10: abandoned that department.

468
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 8: They knew from the very beginning it.

469
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 10: Wasn't a way thing to add, and it wasn't really

470
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 10: based on anything.

471
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 8: It should be based on merit.

472
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 10: So I think moving forward you'll see more companies doing that.

473
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 10: But to answer your question, I think it could have

474
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 10: been contributed to what we saw two days ago.

475
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 8: Tragically.

476
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brian, the President just signed some executive orders today

477
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 2: and the twenty five percent tariffs go into effect against

478
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: Mexico and Canada, the ten percent tariff against China as well.

479
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 2: How is that expected to hit Americans? Are we going

480
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 2: to feel a pinch?

481
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 8: That is a good question.

482
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 10: That was one of the most resonating questions that I

483
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 10: heard in that room that that was going to be asked. Rather,

484
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 10: who knows, I'd like to see those tariffs against China

485
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 10: be a little.

486
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 8: Bit higher, to be honest with you, because.

487
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 10: A lot of these a lot of the thing, a

488
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 10: lot of the well, think about this for a second.

489
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 10: Mexico is basically the distributor of it. But if they're

490
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 10: manufactured in China, these pill mills, they come over on

491
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 10: a boat, they come through the port there in Mexico

492
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 10: with Central America and brought up through across the border.

493
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 10: So I'd actually like to see a higher tariff on

494
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 10: China to help them cut down on and try to

495
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 10: look into stopping these fentanyl pill mills from making it

496
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 10: even to our shore. So you know, we'll find out

497
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 10: exactly what happens in the next Well, we don't have

498
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 10: very much time.

499
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 8: We have next twelve hours.

500
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 10: I get less than twelve hours on all of this,

501
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 10: But you know, it's yet I guess it's yet to

502
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 10: determine how that will.

503
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 8: Affect the American consumer. Yeah, obviously there's a big pushback

504
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 8: on it.

505
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 3: Right now, and it feels like it tells me that

506
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 3: we're more reliant on Chinese goods than we are Mexican

507
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 3: or Canadian goods or else would be a higher tariff

508
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 3: because would be like a ure support. And that's a

509
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 3: sad state of affairs. But we'll see what works out

510
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: with Trump and Chijin Ping on that.

511
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 4: Well.

512
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 7: Want to get your thoughts on this.

513
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 3: House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries was speaking today and guess

514
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 3: what run He said the following, Take a look.

515
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 11: We are going to fight it legislatively, we are going

516
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 11: to fight it in the courts.

517
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 12: We're going to fight it in the streets.

518
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 7: Fight it in the streets.

519
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 3: Now, Brian, for all of the January sixth lives of

520
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 3: starting an insurrection, what are we supposed to infer from

521
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 3: language that uses the phrase fight it in the streets?

522
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 7: What does that mean?

523
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 8: That is an excellent point.

524
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 10: Now, I'd like to give Hackeen Jefferies a little bit

525
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 10: an ounce of I guess respect to think that he

526
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 10: did not mean physically in the streets. Maybe he means

527
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 10: protests which happened all the time here in d C.

528
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 10: Perhaps that's what he intended to say. But if you

529
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 10: listen the way he paused right before he said publicly

530
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 10: in the streets, quickly called out by many conservatives and

531
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 10: many House Republicans saying, wait a minute, is that you

532
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 10: calling for violence? I think in this hyper sensitive world

533
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 10: that we live in right now, I think both sides

534
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 10: has to be extremely cautious when using language like that,

535
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 10: because you know how the media is.

536
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 8: The media loves to take a narrative and run with that.

537
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 10: We saw exactly walk peacefully to the Capitol the way

538
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 10: that was set on January sixth. But you know, I'd

539
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 10: like to give him the benefit of doubt that he

540
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 10: did not mean violence. I'm going to extend that to him.

541
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 10: But let's see how the public responds. These radical activists

542
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 10: that we often see on the streets of this country.

543
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 10: Let's see how they react to those words, and hopefully

544
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 10: they don't react like we think what he might have

545
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 10: meant on that just protest is fine.

546
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 3: And I hate to cut you off, but apparently President

547
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: Trump is speaking right now.

548
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 7: So let's take a look into this life.

549
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 13: It's a lot of money coming to the United States.

550
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 13: As you know, we have about a two hundred billion

551
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 13: dollar deficit with with Canada getting close to two hundred

552
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 13: billion dollars. They've treated us very unfairly, and I say,

553
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 13: why should we be subsidizing Canada. They you know, it's wonderful.

554
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 13: I have so many friends in Canada. It's a great place.

555
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 11: Is there a concession you're looking for, sir, No, we're

556
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 11: not looking for a concession.

557
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 13: We'll just see what happens. We'll see what happens that.

558
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 13: With Mexico, it's the same thing. We have a two

559
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 13: hundred and fifty billion dollar deficit, and we have uh

560
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 13: a lot of people coming into the border. And now

561
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 13: we've largely stopped that, but we've stopped at ourselves. At

562
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 13: at I think they've done a fantastic job. You've seen

563
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 13: the numbers, they've dropped almost zero. But we've suffered under

564
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 13: the past administration for years and years. We've suffered with

565
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 13: millions of criminals coming into our country.

566
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 12: Criminals, people from jails from all over the world.

567
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 13: They come through Mexico and they come through Canada to

568
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 13: a lot of them come through Canada, and a lot

569
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 13: of fentanyl comes through Canada.

570
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 12: And China makes the fentanyl.

571
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 13: You know, China makes the fentanyl, gives it to Mexico,

572
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 13: puts it through Canada, puts it through different s, different places,

573
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 13: mostly Mexico, but also a lot through Canada, and so

574
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 13: all three haven't treated us very well.

575
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 7: Sir, I can I ask you about that you're meeting

576
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 7: with Nvidia.

577
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 10: What did you talk about and do you think you

578
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 10: need to ban more of the chips that they're selling

579
00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 10: to China?

580
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 13: Well, great, gentlemen, and I hadn't met him. He's the

581
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 13: biggest in the world in terms of chips, and uh,

582
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 13: I can't say what's gonna happen with it. We had

583
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 13: a meeting, it was a good meeting. But eventually we're

584
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 13: gonna put tariffs on chips. We're gonna put tariffs on

585
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 13: oil and gas. That'll happen fairly soon. I think around

586
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 13: the eighteenth of feed work, and we're gonna put uh

587
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 13: a lot of tariffs on steel. We already have tariffs

588
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 13: on steel, and we've saved our steel industry, but that

589
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 13: was relatively small compared to what it'll be. But we're

590
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 13: gonna be putting tariffs on and steel it a little

591
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 13: bit of and ultimately copper copper will take a little

592
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 13: bit longer, and that'll happen pretty quickly. It'll mean uh,

593
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 13: it'll be a great boost for our steel industry. It'll

594
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,479
Speaker 13: make our steel industry very strong.

595
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

596
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 13: If I didn't put the tariffs on years ago and steel,

597
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 13: which actually Biden left because there was so much money

598
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 13: that they couldn't do anything about it, I think we would.

599
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 12: Have lost it. We wouldn't have one steel mill in

600
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 12: this country. I didn't do that.

601
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 13: We saved the steel industry. So it was an honor

602
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 13: to do it. And I think the people that love

603
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 13: me most of the whole world, the people that make steel.

604
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 12: But we're going to be putting sometime this month.

605
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 13: Next month, we're going to be putting tariffs on steel

606
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 13: and aluminum.

607
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 12: And we'll give you an announcement as to what the

608
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,239
Speaker 12: exact date is.

609
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 13: But it'll be a tremendous amount of money for our country,

610
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 13: tremendous amo.

611
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 12: These are big numbers. And in addition to that, and

612
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 12: you see the power of the tariff. I'm in.

613
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 13: The tariff is good and nobody can compete with us

614
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 13: because we have by far the biggest piggybang, and so

615
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 13: that'll take place very quickly. But also we'll be doing

616
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 13: pharmaceuticals to bring our industry back. We want to bring

617
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 13: pharmaceuticals back to the country, and the way you bring

618
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 13: it back to the country is by putting up a wall,

619
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 13: and the wall is a tariff wall.

620
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 12: We were the richest country in the world.

621
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 13: We were at our richest from eighteen seventy to nightnineteen thirteen,

622
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 13: and that's when we had we were a tariff country.

623
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 13: And then they went to an income tax concept. And

624
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 13: you know, how did that work out. It's fine, I

625
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 13: mean it's okay, but would have been very much better.

626
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 13: So we'll be doing pharmaceuticals importantly, in drugs, medicines, et cetera,

627
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 13: all forms of medicine and pharmaceuticals, and we'll be doing

628
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 13: very importantly steal and we'll also be doing chips and

629
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 13: things associated with chips and sort.

630
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 8: What do you plan on talking with the Japanese Prime

631
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 8: Minister about next Friday.

632
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 13: When you all meet, Well, he's coming in again next week.

633
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 13: I don't know he has for a meeting. And I

634
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 13: have great respect for Japan. I like japan Prime Minister.

635
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 13: Robby was a very close friend of mine. What happened

636
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 13: to him was so sad, one of the saddest days.

637
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 13: But they're coming in to speak to me and I

638
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 13: look forward to it.

639
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 11: Mister President often Crash do you have any concerns that

640
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 11: you were commentary about things you have described as common

641
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 11: sense for your observations could in any way interfere with

642
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 11: the thorough investigation of the crash.

643
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 4: No.

644
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 13: I think they'll do an investigation. It'll probably come out

645
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 13: the way I said it. I'd like to put it

646
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 13: up front. I'm so tired of listening to things happened

647
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 13: to our country and then people say we'll do an investigation,

648
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 13: and three years later they come out with a report

649
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 13: that nobody looks at. Especially not in all cases can

650
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 13: you do that? But in this case, you know, you

651
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 13: had a you had a helicopter that was the black

652
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 13: Hawk was too high, it was above the two hundred

653
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 13: limed by double shouldn't have been there.

654
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 12: And there were some other mistakes made too, and I

655
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 12: pointed them.

656
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 13: Out also, and I was right on all of it.

657
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 13: But they'll still do an investigation just to check it out.

658
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 13: But I think that's comander in chief.

659
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 5: Are you little all concerned.

660
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 11: About opining about the army and the conduct of that

661
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 11: aircraft when you are a commander in chief and these

662
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 11: are the people who report to now and there is

663
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 11: an investigation on it.

664
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 13: This was all caused by bad rules, regulations and other

665
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 13: things by buying the Biden administration, and when you look

666
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 13: at the way they ran things. In fact, if you

667
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 13: look we hired, one of the first things I told

668
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 13: him to do is to get talented people in those

669
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 13: in those beautiful towers overlooking runways. You better get them

670
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 13: in there fast, because we don't have people there that

671
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 13: are qualified. And you knew that because planes were landing very,

672
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 13: very late, they were circling all over the place.

673
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 12: We had people that didn't know what the hell they

674
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 12: were doing.

675
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 11: And so there were planes in the air strywhere and

676
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 11: there are other air traffic cartanies.

677
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 13: They we have to have the best people, the smartest people,

678
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 13: the sharpest people as controlled tower experts, and that's what

679
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 13: they have to be. They have to be experts, and

680
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 13: they have to be very smart. And we didn't have

681
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 13: our best. And if you read the quote that I

682
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 13: read yesterday at the news conference, it talked about people

683
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 13: that were psychologically injured were okay, and people that had

684
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 13: lots of problems were okay. I'd read it again, like

685
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 13: me too. But I don't think I have to.

686
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 11: Waste your time planes in the air all around the

687
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 11: country people relying on that as safety. Are you suggesting

688
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 11: there's an ongoing risk.

689
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 13: No, I think there's very little risk. But I think

690
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 13: that we have to make sure that this never happens again.

691
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 13: Very very little risk, and we're taking actions that this

692
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:19,479
Speaker 13: can't happen again.

693
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 12: The helicopters, you know, was out of its zone.

694
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 13: Shouldn't have been out of its own It was at

695
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 13: the same height as the airplane. Now, the airplane was

696
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 13: coming down on its track. It was perfect, it was

697
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 13: in perfect shape coming down and something was in its way.

698
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 12: You can't let that happen, and it won't be happening again.

699
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 13: And this was all because of weak rules in the

700
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 13: Biden administration, and we're just not gonna let that kind

701
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 13: of thing happen again.

702
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 12: And again.

703
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 13: I could wait and I could you give a report

704
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 13: in two years, like they always do. And sometimes it's obvious.

705
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 13: In this case, to me, it was very obviously. I

706
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 13: think I've been proven proven to be very correct.

707
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 12: Yeah, ms, I'm used to panel next week. You, Uh,

708
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 12: I expect a lot of good things from all meetings.

709
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 12: I expect good things.

710
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 4: Uh.

711
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 13: Marco Rubio, as you know, is gonna make a tour

712
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 13: of various countries in South America. Uh, he's gonna be

713
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 13: meeting in Panama, where Panama's treated us very badly. They

714
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 13: gave him rather them rather foolishly. A think called the

715
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 13: Panama Canal the most expensive project we ever built. If

716
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 13: you look at today's numbers, most expensive ever built. We

717
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 13: lost thirty eight thousand men in that case, all men,

718
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 13: just about all men, Uh, thirty eight thousand to the Mosquito,

719
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 13: to malaria and various other problems. And you get from

720
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 13: Jungles it was a tremendously costly event.

721
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 12: Uh. We built the Panama Canal a hundred and ten

722
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 12: years ago. Think of it.

723
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 13: The most expensive development we ever did, and really one

724
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 13: of the wonders of the world, one of the great

725
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 13: wonders of the world that, uh, we didn't give it

726
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 13: to China. We gave it to Panama. And Panama has

727
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 13: been ripping down all the China language signs. They've been

728
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 13: working like mad to try. But about seventy percent of

729
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 13: the signs who were up and they were written in

730
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 13: Chinese and that's not the deal. So we're going to

731
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 13: take it back. They've already offered to do many things,

732
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 13: but we think it's appropriate that we take it back.

733
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 12: They've totally violated the agreement. We have an agreement.

734
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 13: They violated the agreement, and Marco Rubio is going over

735
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 13: there to talk to the.

736
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 12: To the gentleman that's in George.

737
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 9: Do you still think it's a good idea for Jordan

738
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 9: and Egypt to be taking in Palestinians when they reject

739
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 9: the idea and the Palestians who are leaving now in Egypt.

740
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 13: Jordan will take people, yeah, people from Gaza, and I

741
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 13: think Egypt will take them also. I mean I heard

742
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 13: somebody said they're not going to, but I think they will.

743
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 13: I feel confident they will.

744
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 4: Will.

745
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 9: You will tomorrow's ears include oil? Will tomorrow's terrace be

746
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 9: include inclusive of Canadian group?

747
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 12: Uh, I'm probably gonna reduce the tariff a little bit

748
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 12: on that.

749
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 13: We think we're gonna bring it down to ten percent

750
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 13: on the oil, so it's twenty five percent on the

751
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 13: on the Canada, said.

752
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 5: Terrafs, stacking on top of already existing.

753
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 12: Tariffs, on top of whatever may be existing. Because President as.

754
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 7: Uh Rickernell was seen on State TV shaking hands with

755
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 7: the president.

756
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 10: Of Meduro, is there any concern that that might been

757
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 10: legitimacy to the duadministration.

758
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 13: No, we wanna do something with Venezuela, and we've been

759
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 13: I've been a very big opponent of Venezuela and Maduro.

760
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 13: They've treated us not so good, but they've treated more importantly,

761
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 13: the Venezuelan people very badly. We have tremendous Venezuelan population.

762
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 13: I got ninety two percent of the vote, the Venezuelan vote.

763
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 13: Now we want to see what we can do to

764
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 13: get people back in their homeland safe and free and all.

765
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 13: He's meeting with a lot of different people, but we're

766
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 13: we are for the people of Venezuela. We're for the

767
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 13: Venezuelan Americans. If you look at it, we have them

768
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 13: all in Florida, right around the Doural area. That's where

769
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 13: that's really they call it Little Venezuela, right, and they

770
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 13: voted for me close to one hundred percent. So we'll

771
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 13: see what we can do to straighten out the situation

772
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 13: in Venezuela. Venezuela is has been very unfortunate. I was

773
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 13: very surprised when I saw that Biden agreed to buy

774
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 13: a lot of oil from Venezuela, because Venezuela was just

775
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 13: about finish the dictator, and when that happened, it brought

776
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 13: him back to life. You know, Biden went out and

777
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 13: they they buy millions of barrels of oil. I say,

778
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 13: what's that all about? So we're not gonna let that

779
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 13: stupid stuff happen. So we'll see what happens. We're not

780
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 13: happy with Venezuela.

781
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 12: We don't like the way they've treated the Venezuelans at

782
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 12: all cost. President.

783
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 4: There is some.

784
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 11: Warnings or messages that government websites will be shut down

785
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 11: this evening to scrub them with DEI content.

786
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 5: Can you confirm with that's astute? Government websites?

787
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 11: Euse we shut down this evening to scrub them DEI content?

788
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 5: Can you confirm?

789
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 11: I don't know.

790
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 13: It doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. Dei

791
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 13: is would have ruined our country, and now it's dead.

792
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 13: I think DEI is dead, so they want to scrub

793
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 13: the website. That's okay with me. But uh uh, I

794
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 13: can't tell you. I guess probably certain people handle it

795
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 13: certain ways. But I'll tell you who's very happy about it.

796
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 13: The military, the real leaders, the real generals in the military,

797
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 13: they're very happy about it. Doug is very happy about it.

798
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 13: He's got a big, big group of people that are

799
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 13: gonna be working for him. S are really starting right now.

800
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 13: You just got signed up, and uh, they're very happy

801
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 13: about it. He had a lot of DEI everybody did,

802
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 13: but he has not been a fan. It would have

803
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 13: really it was really hurting our country badly, costing a

804
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 13: lot of money too. You see the kind of money

805
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 13: we're talking about, hundreds of millions of dollars for nonsense.

806
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 13: Now we have our country back. Now, our country is back,

807
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 13: and it's a it's a nice thing to say. I've

808
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 13: never seen such love. I've never had anything like it.

809
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 13: I've never seen anything like it. People are coming up, sir,

810
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 13: thank you for bringing our country back. We were losing

811
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 13: our country, and I think we're stronger now than we've

812
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 13: been in many, many decades. Your call with Vladier Company,

813
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 13: Well we'll be we'll be speaking, we've been will be speaking,

814
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 13: and I think we'll perhaps do something that will be significant.

815
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 12: We want to end that war. That war would have

816
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 12: never started. Ivis president and we want to end that war.

817
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 12: That war is a horrible war.

818
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 13: Millions of young people are being killed, mostly on the

819
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 13: lines now mostly it's soldiers, but the cities have been

820
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 13: largely destroyed, many of them. They're like demolition sights. But

821
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 13: the soldiers that you're shooting at each other, you know,

822
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 13: it's a very flat land. I said this the list.

823
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 13: I have very very flat land. The only place that

824
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 13: a bullet stops is when it hits a person, and

825
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 13: they're hitting a lot of people, They're hitting a lot

826
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 13: of soldiers.

827
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 12: But on both sides, you know, I think Russia would

828
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 12: probably say.

829
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 13: Close to eight hundred thousand and Ukraine six or seven

830
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 13: hundred thousand, and it's it's just a senseless situation and

831
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 13: it's got to stop.

832
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 12: So whatever I can do to stop it.

833
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 11: And we are having discussions, is ongoing, already scheduled and

834
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 11: ongoing talking.

835
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: So you've already spoken of Latimirer poops.

836
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 12: I don't want to say that, but we are having

837
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 12: very serious discussion. Reason we don't want to we are well,

838
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 12: I just don't want to say that.

839
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 13: We're having very serious discussions about that war, trying to

840
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 13: get it ended Russia with Russia.

841
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 11: At the Department of Justice and the FBI, there are

842
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 11: a number of high level people who are being asked

843
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 11: to resign or are being told they are going to

844
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 11: be fired.

845
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 5: Did you specifically request.

846
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 11: Any actions at the Bureau or DJ with respect to

847
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 11: those uh employees?

848
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 13: No, but we have some very bad people over there.

849
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 13: Was weaponized at a level that nobody's ever seen before.

850
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 13: They came after a lot of people like me. But

851
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,959
Speaker 13: they came after a lot of people. No, I wasn't

852
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 13: involved in it. I I'll have to see what is

853
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 13: exactly going on after this is finished. But if they

854
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 13: fired duh, some people over there, that's a good thing

855
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 13: because they were very bad. They were very corrupt people,

856
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 13: very corrupt, and they hurt our country very badly with

857
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 13: the weaponization.

858
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

859
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 13: They used uh, they used the Justice Department to go

860
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 13: after their political opponent, which in itself is illegal and

861
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 13: obviously it didn't work.

862
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 12: Are you good to any two who European? What does

863
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 12: that mean?

864
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 5: Now you go to Tarry who on European Tech?

865
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 11: Did you you're.

866
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 13: Well, you're asking me a question, uh, cause I'm period

867
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 13: in here. Am I going to impose tariffs on the

868
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,959
Speaker 13: European Union? Do you want the truthful answer? Or shall

869
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 13: I give you a political answer? Absolutely? Absolutely?

870
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 12: The European Union is treated us so terribly.

871
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 11: You promised Americans to try to reduce costs, and so

872
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 11: many of the products that would be tariffed when they

873
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 11: come into the country, the outgoing country is not paying

874
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 11: the tariff. The buyers in the United States pay that,

875
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 11: and then that's passed.

876
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 5: On to consumers in most instances.

877
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 11: Sometimes, how would you expect to have prices come down

878
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 11: if you have such a broad plan for tariffs? And

879
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 11: what do you say to the voters who want to

880
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 11: see you reduce everyday costs?

881
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 13: Well, let me just tell you that I got elected

882
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 13: for a lot of reasons. Number one was the border.

883
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 13: Number two was inflation, because I had almost no inflation,

884
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 13: and yet I charged hundreds of millions of dollars of

885
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 13: tariffs to countries. And think of it, I had almost

886
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 13: no inflation and I took in six hundred billion dollars

887
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 13: of money from other countries.

888
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 12: And tariffs don't cause inflation. They caused success. Caused big success,

889
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 12: So we're gonna have great success.

890
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 13: There could be some temporary, short term disruption, and people

891
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 13: will understand that I had that when I negotiated some

892
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 13: of the good deals for the farmers, and unfortunately those

893
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 13: deals have been led as stray by Biden and his

894
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 13: people because they didn't enforce the deals. We have a

895
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 13: deal with China which is phenomenal for the farmers, but

896
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 13: there was nobody to enforce it in the Biden administration.

897
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 13: They let them get away with murders. So that's another

898
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 13: thing we're going to be bringing. And they committed wheremen.

899
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 13: They committed to buying fifty billion dollars worth of farm product,

900
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 13: and they did it when I was president. As soon

901
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 13: as I left, they stopped doing it because there was

902
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 13: nobody in Biden to enforce it.

903
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 12: But the tariffs are.

904
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 13: Going to make us very rich and very strong, and

905
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 13: we're going to treat other countries very fairly. If you

906
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 13: think about it, other countries charge us tariffs, we don't

907
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 13: charge them tariffs, and it's about time that that changes.

908
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 12: Do you know you've concerned about the market reaction around tariffs?

909
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 13: No, No tariffs. The word tariff is a very misunderstood word.

910
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 13: I've you've heard me say, I say it kiddingly, but

911
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 13: it's one of the most beautiful words in the dictionary,

912
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 13: really is, and we've been taking advantage of because others

913
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 13: have charged US vats. As an example of the European

914
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 13: Union charges as twenty percent plus plus plus of attacks

915
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 13: called the vatas very similar and it costs US an

916
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 13: absolute fortune. We are treated so badly. They don't take

917
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 13: our cars, they don't take our farm products. Essentially, they

918
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 13: don't take almost anything. And we have a tremendous deficit

919
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 13: with the European Union. So we'll be doing something very

920
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 13: substantial with the European Union. We're going to bring the

921
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 13: level up to where it should be. And if you

922
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 13: think of the European Union, then you go to NATO.

923
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 13: It's largely the same group of countries until I came along.

924
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 13: I mean, we were paying almost one hundred percent of

925
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 13: NATO only to get bad trade deals. And now it's

926
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 13: been evened out, but very unfair. Having to do it

927
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 13: was even doubt pretty good. Actually I did a good job.

928
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 13: They paid four hundred and forty billion dollars. If you

929
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 13: look at the Secretary General's report, and he was here recently,

930
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 13: he said that, he said, one of the most amazing

931
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,479
Speaker 13: things I've ever seen is what President Trump was able

932
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 13: to do with these countries of Europe, of which he

933
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 13: was in charge of them, but he couldn't get them

934
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 13: to pay. I went over, I said, you got to pay.

935
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 13: If you don't pay, we're not going to protect you.

936
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 13: It's very simple, but very unfair is with Ukraine because

937
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 13: we're in for three hundred billion dollars plus and they're

938
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 13: in probably for one hundred billion. There's a two hundred

939
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 13: billion dollar difference, and they need.

940
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 12: It more than we do.

941
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 13: You know, we have a nocean in between. They don't,

942
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 13: and so they're going to have to step it up

943
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 13: a little bit.

944
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 11: With efforts to reduce the federal workforce, whether it's offering

945
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 11: what we've called the buyout package or other efforts, do

946
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 11: you have any concerns that there will be employees broadly

947
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 11: across the federal government who might take that up. And

948
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 11: they were part of the many different ways that agencies

949
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 11: protect the public, from food inspections to water safety.

950
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 13: To everybody's replaceable, and we'll get very good people to

951
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 13: replace them. If it turns out to be more than

952
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 13: we thought, it could be a lot, it could be

953
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 13: a little. We don't know, but we'd love to have

954
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 13: them leave. We're trying to remember this. We want them

955
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 13: to go into the private sector. It's our dream to

956
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 13: have everybody almost working in the private sector, not in

957
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,959
Speaker 13: the public sector. We have many people, very few people

958
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 13: came to work. Started more or less with COVID, but

959
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 13: actually even before COVID, but it started with the COVID.

960
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 13: They didn't come back, and then Biden let them get

961
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 13: away with murder and they you know, we had a

962
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 13: federal workforce like four percent coming into the office and

963
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 13: that's just a work you know, people can say it does,

964
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 13: but it doesn't work.

965
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 12: You have to be unified in a group in the office.

966
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 12: It's just it was crazy. You don't know what they're doing.

967
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 13: And then at some point we may ask them to

968
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 13: certify that they didn't have two jobs, meaning were they

969
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 13: really getting a check from us the government, and then

970
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 13: where they also work in a second job and a

971
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 13: third job and you know, on on government time, and

972
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 13: many of them will say that they did, you know,

973
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 13: which is not legal. But it's a problem. It's a problem. No,

974
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 13: we want to get that out. We want to clean

975
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 13: it out. You know, people have been trying to reduce

976
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 13: federal government now for forty years, forty five years, and

977
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 13: they haven't been able to do it. And this is

978
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 13: a way of doing it, I think, very nicely. It's

979
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 13: sort of a buyout too. I think we're treating people

980
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 13: very good. But people don't come to the office, they

981
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 13: won't have a job starting on that very special date.

982
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 12: So we'll see how that works out. I mean, nobody

983
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 12: knows how that's going to turn out.

984
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 13: Everybody might show up to the office and maybe a

985
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 13: large number won't show up. But if they don't show up,

986
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 13: we've accomplished a very serious ago. We're trying to reduce government.

987
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 11: Does mister Musk or any of those associated with your

988
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 11: DOGE effort, do they have any direct access through the

989
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 11: government systems to how money is dispersed.

990
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 13: No, nothing, No, they are This has nothing to do

991
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 13: also with the federal cutting. You know, with this federal cutting,

992
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 13: this is very separate. This is if you don't show up,

993
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 13: you don't get paid. But DOGE, I think great progress

994
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 13: has been made. We're talking about cutting over a trillion

995
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 13: dollars of waste. We're talking about waste. We're not talking

996
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 13: about we're going to love and chaish Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.

997
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 13: We're not going to do anything with that other than

998
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 13: if we can find some abuse or waste. Won't do something,

999
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 13: but the people won't be affected. It'll only be more

1000
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 13: effective and better, and our country. As our country gets richer,

1001
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 13: the people in social security, medicare, medicaid those people to

1002
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 13: be more secure. If Biden had gotten elected, social security

1003
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 13: was going to fail because the country was failing.

1004
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 12: It was going to fail. The country was going to fail.

1005
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 13: And therefore their social security, medicare, medicated all of the

1006
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 13: other things that you may get would not be able

1007
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 13: to be paid.

1008
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 12: Our country is getting very strong, and you see it.

1009
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 13: I think more progress has been made in the last

1010
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 13: two or three weeks and has been made in the

1011
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 13: last four years. I think not only has more progress

1012
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,959
Speaker 13: been rad in the last four years, it's called deprogress.

1013
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 13: We went way backward as a country in so many

1014
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 13: different ways, from woke to all of the other things

1015
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 13: that took place that were so bad.

1016
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 12: You look at Afghanistan, how embarrassing that was.

1017
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 13: I think Afghanistan really started the problem with Russia and

1018
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 13: Ukraine when Putin looked over and he saw how incompetently

1019
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 13: that was handled. I was getting out, but I was

1020
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 13: going to keep Bagram. Right now China has Bagram. I

1021
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 13: was going to keep one of the biggest air bases

1022
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 13: in the world. They left it, But I was other

1023
00:50:58,440 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 13: than Bagram.

1024
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 12: I was going to get out. I wasn't keeping Bagrup

1025
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 12: for Afghanistan.

1026
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 13: I was keeping it for China because it's one hour

1027
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 13: away from where China makes its nuclear weapons.

1028
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 12: And we were keeping it. So we have a lot

1029
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 12: of great things happening in our country and we appreciate that.

1030
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: You hear.

1031
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 13: And I'm really thrilled about Doug, and I'm really thrilled

1032
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 13: about his friend Chris Wright, who's a legend in the

1033
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 13: oil business.

1034
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 12: Right. They keep telling me, Catherine, he's like a legend,

1035
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 12: and he's a legend too in a lot of businesses.

1036
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 12: And we have an amazing group of people working with us.

1037
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 13: As a man behind me who became a tremendous success,

1038
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 13: he was not a wealthy man. He didn't start off

1039
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 13: a wealthy man, and he ended up a wealthy man.

1040
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 13: And you know, that's a great talent. And he's willing

1041
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 13: to sacrifice so much and to put it to work

1042
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 13: for our country. He watched the job he doesn't on

1043
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,760
Speaker 13: the interior, but in particular on really making our country

1044
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 13: very very wealthy by utilizing it properly and at the

1045
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 13: same time environmentally. He does it very He's very very

1046
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 13: much environmentalists. He's going to do it very carefully and

1047
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 13: very painstakingly. Good but you just watch what happens. And

1048
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 13: working with the Department of Energy, where his compatriot, his

1049
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 13: friend and also considered the most talented band in the

1050
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 13: oil business is the head of the Department of Energy.

1051
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 13: They work together. It's almost like a partnership. It really

1052
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 13: is a partnership. And watch what that does for our country.

1053
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 13: It'll be a fantastic thing to see. Thank you very much, everybody.

1054
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 2: All right, we were just listening in to President Trump

1055
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 2: at the White House taking questions from reporters.

1056
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 1: Bo I think this is the most transparent president we

1057
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: have ever had.

1058
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's talking about tariffs twenty five percent going

1059
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 3: to Mexico and to Canada Tho, there are some pretty

1060
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 3: steep tariffs on top of the tariffs that already exist

1061
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 3: ten percent, also to China. It's very clear that he's

1062
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 3: being serious, specifically especially about fentanyl as well, because that's

1063
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 3: killing too many of our young people.

1064
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he is getting things done. Promises made, promises kept.

1065
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 2: We will continue to monitor the things that the President

1066
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 2: is doing there in the White House.

1067
