1 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: Good evening, America, Happy Friday. Welcome to the latest edition 2 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: of Justin News, No Noise. I'm your host, John Solomon, 3 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: reporting to you, as always from the nation's capital, which 4 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: today is mostly closed. Yep, Day three of the government 5 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: shut down, no end in sight. The Senate tried again 6 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: to pass a clean resolution a continuing resolution, but the 7 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: Democrats once blocked it. All right, now I'm gotta be 8 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: flying solo again tonight. My amazing co host, Amanda Head. 9 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: She is the pool reporter at the White House. That's 10 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: a prestigious job, but all day she must keep an 11 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: eye on the President and report it to all the 12 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: other reporters who don't get to cover the White House, 13 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: so she'll be out of the pocket for most of 14 00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: the day. Now, we've got a lot of reporting for 15 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: you on potential wrongdoing by the FBI involving former President 16 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. The latest incident has to do with the 17 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: Biden families alleged dealings in Ukraine, and it turns out 18 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: there were far more than one whistle blower that appeared 19 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: to know about what was going on between Ukrainian authorities 20 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: and the Biden family, where millions of dollars changed hands. 21 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: The FBI, for example, had three informants, three confidential human 22 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: sources reporting to them on Biden corruption in Ukrae, but 23 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: no record has been turned over by or found by 24 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: current FBI Director Tash Barttel of any real investigation into 25 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: those informants claims. Think about that a sitting vice president 26 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: his son, there's an allegation that they might be on 27 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: the take with a foreign power, and nobody looks at it. 28 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: And they don't get a one. 29 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: Allegation, They'll get two allegations, they get three. Now, these 30 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: new revelations stem from Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and 31 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson's release of two new FBI FD ten 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: twenty three forms. Those are basically records of the reports 33 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: that these confidential human sources gave concerning their concern that 34 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: the Biden family was engaged in a corrupt scheme in Biden. 35 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,639 Speaker 1: These records match closely to a previous memo that Senator 36 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: Grassei released in twenty twenty three, containing. 37 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: Claims from the third of the human. 38 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: Confidential human sources, And apparently in all three cases, the 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: FBI didn't get fully. 40 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: To the bomb. 41 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: And imagine that we've seen that time and again, like 42 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: we heard from the irs whistleblowers on the show a 43 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Now turning today three of the 44 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: government shutdown, not much progress is being made, but a 45 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: lot of talk here in Washington has to do with 46 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: government layoffs and not necessarily about when the government will reopen. 47 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: Why that's prest Secretary Caroline Levitt was asked about it 48 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: again today. Here's what she said when one reporter questioned 49 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: why layoffs were necessary. 50 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 3: Have a listen, why are layoffs now necessary in this shutdown? 51 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 4: Because we have an administration and we have a president 52 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 4: who are wholeheartedly focused on restoring fiscal sanity to our 53 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 4: government and doing the right thing by the American tax payer. 54 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 4: We are thirty seven trillion dollars in debt and the 55 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 4: federal government is currently shut down. There is no more 56 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 4: money coming into the federal government's coffers. And as you've 57 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 4: all so seen since the beginning in January, this administration 58 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 4: is focusing on waste, fraud, and abuse, and so Democrats 59 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 4: have given this administration an unenviable choice to have to 60 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 4: take a look at the balance sheet and identify where 61 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 4: these cuts in lafts can be made. 62 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's unenviable or maybe enviable choice. 63 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: I think let White House seems to be really ready 64 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: to take a look at. 65 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: That, all right. 66 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: The Senate did try to get that stop cup funding 67 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: bill passed, as I mentioned earlier, Center majority leiter John 68 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: Thune made his case for getting the government reopened down 69 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: the Senate floor today before Democrats thumb their nose, listen 70 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: to what Senator Thoone had to say. 71 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 5: This President, has been two weeks since our first vote 72 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 5: on a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open. 73 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 5: The shutdown could have been avoided well before it began, 74 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 5: but because Democrats have not budge from their partisan demands, 75 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 5: the shutdown is now entering its third day. Mister President, 76 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 5: There's a lot. 77 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: That we could be doing right now. 78 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 5: We could be considering bipartisan appropriations bills through regular order, 79 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 5: going to conference on the three appropriations bills we passed 80 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 5: in August, or passing the bipartisan Annual Defense Bill. But 81 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 5: instead we're stuck in a shutdown mess of Democrats making. 82 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: Well. 83 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: It turns out, though there was a lot of common 84 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: sense in that speech, it didn't it wasn't very persuasive 85 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: to Democrats to vote again failed fifty four to forty four. 86 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: With that, it's time now to bring in our first guests, 87 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: and I want to mention this before we bring in. 88 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: Congressman nave hammadad We earlier this week wrote a story 89 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: about the TSA being the latest agency caught weaponizing. They 90 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: were taking Americans and preventing them from flying and traveling 91 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: in America based on political differences disputes. It actually extended 92 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: to members of Congress. Congressman Nave Homidae from the great 93 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: State of Arizona was one of them, and we're very 94 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: lucky to be joined by him right now. 95 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: Congressman, great to have you on the show. 96 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 3: All was going to be with you, John, all right, 97 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: I want. 98 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: To make sure I understand this, because you filed a 99 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: lawsuit challenge think some potential election procedures in Arizona. The 100 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: government considues you a flight threat and was monitoring you 101 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: and potentially even blocking you from flying. Is that how 102 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: far the weaponization at the TSA went. 103 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 6: Well, what we do know is that, you know, I 104 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 6: got a call earlier this week from Senator rand Paul's office, 105 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 6: who's been leading the charge over in the Senate on 106 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 6: the Homeland Security Committee. Over there and they discovered that 107 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 6: three members of Congress, all three of them were Republican, 108 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 6: were targeted by the Biden TSA at one point or another, 109 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 6: and all of us were either there was one that 110 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 6: was an elected member of Congress at the time and 111 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 6: the other two were candidates running for office. 112 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: So it just makes. 113 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 6: You wonder why the Biden Department, of the Biden TSA 114 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 6: was going after and putting these people on a so 115 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 6: called watch list, just like our Director of National Intelligence 116 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 6: Tulsey Gabbert. 117 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: And this just extends. You know, this is just a 118 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: pattern of. 119 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 6: Behavior by the Joe Biden administration, what they were doing. 120 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 6: I mean, John, there is so much corruption, there's so 121 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 6: much weapons at the time against conservatives. 122 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 3: It's almost hard to remember all the instances. 123 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 6: But I remember, you know, I know personally people who 124 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 6: had their bank accounts canceled by their banks because of 125 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 6: pressure by the Biden administration. 126 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 3: We know that the FBI was. 127 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 6: Targeting Catholics at churches or at pro life centers. They 128 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 6: were also going after school board people who attended school board, 129 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 6: parents who want to go there and have their concerns heard. 130 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 6: So the weaponization was terrifying under Joe Biden. And thank 131 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 6: god President Trump won his election because if he didn't, 132 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 6: if we were under Kamala Harris, I believe it'd be 133 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 6: marching towards European style type of tyranny. I mean, if 134 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 6: you look at what's going on the United Kingdom, I 135 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 6: mean they are literally arresting people for social media memes 136 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 6: and posts. And it's not too far to think that 137 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 6: that's easily happen in the United States when you have 138 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 6: a federal government that is going after its own people. 139 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 3: And that's exactly what's happening under Joe Biden. 140 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 6: I'm glad to see Secretary Christy Nome got rid of 141 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 6: the Quiet Skies program. But yes, I think the timing 142 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 6: was completely off that they flagged me. 143 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 3: In December of twenty twenty two. 144 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 6: This was right after the November twenty twenty two election, 145 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 6: when I was running for Attorney General and I was 146 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 6: actively involved in election related lawsuits for that race, and 147 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 6: the media and the Democrats were calling me a threat 148 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 6: to democracy, one of the biggest threats of democracy. 149 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 3: So it goes to show that. 150 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 6: The Joe Biden administration that the weaponization was unacceptable, unacceptable, 151 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 6: and I'm glad to see President Trump and Senator Rand 152 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 6: Paul expose it. 153 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is stunning. 154 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've had some time to think about it. 155 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: I know some many other colleagues have too. What is 156 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: a solution. Is there something Congress can do after we 157 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: reopened the government to make sure that this sort of retaliation, 158 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: this sort of political weaponization doesn't extend to the basic 159 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: things like our travel, our ability to not have our 160 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: conversations listen to on a plane. Do you think there's 161 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: some ideas out there that could outlaw this in a 162 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: more clear way. 163 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe Senator Ram Paul is going to be 164 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: leading that effort. 165 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 6: And you know, John, I want to make sure people 166 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 6: understand it wasn't I mean, this program existed under Barack Obama. 167 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 6: That's when it first started, was in twenty thirteen, So 168 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 6: it just manifested itself over the years, and you know, 169 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 6: to uncover all of it, it took a while. I mean, 170 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 6: this is now President Trump's second term. And if you 171 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 6: look at how they targeted me, I mean. 172 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 3: My god, I was an intelligence officer. 173 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 6: I had a top secret clearance, John, and to see 174 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 6: the government utilizing the tools of the bureaucracy to go 175 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 6: after someone who is running for office. 176 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 3: It is terrifying. 177 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 6: So well, hopefully when we reopen up the government now 178 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 6: that there's this momentum and push here in Congress, I 179 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 6: know that we're going to be making sure this never 180 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 6: happens again, because you're right, although President Trump and Secretary 181 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 6: of Christy Nome got rid of the program, we won't 182 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 6: want to make sure it never happens again. 183 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 3: So we got to make sure he passed legislation here 184 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 3: in Congress. 185 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just so stunning. You served your country. 186 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: In fact, two of the people who are victims of 187 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: this improper weaponization were members of Congress who previously served 188 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: in the armed forces. He and Tolsey Gabbert. And your 189 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: payback or you're thank you for that is look at 190 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: the spy on you. I'm planes or even maybe stop 191 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: you from traveling. It's just stunning what mindset gets bureaucrats 192 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: into this idea that this is a good idea. I mean, 193 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: someone thought there's a good idea because it was pretty widespread. 194 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, and if you look at Tulsea Gabbert, I mean, yeah, 195 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 6: she was a former congresswoman. She was a decorated veteran 196 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 6: in our armed forces. And what a country, it is though, 197 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 6: for how to have her now become the director of 198 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 6: National Intelligence, right So that is what gives me a 199 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 6: lot of happiness right now, just to see that in 200 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 6: our country, that we are able to defeat the forces 201 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 6: of evils so aggressively. But if you look at the faceless, 202 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 6: nameless bureaucrats oftentimes, you know they believe that they should 203 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 6: hold the keys to power and that elected officials are temporary. 204 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 6: So it is scary when you have that. And if 205 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 6: you look at why we're only Republicans targeted, you know, 206 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 6: members of Congress. I mean, I'm sure there's a lot 207 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 6: of members of Congress on the Democrat side who would 208 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 6: be flagged for something based off of some of their statements, 209 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 6: but it is shocking to see how they were targeting 210 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 6: only us. And as you mentioned, you know, at the 211 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 6: time I served my country, and many others who. 212 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 3: Are on the watch list did as well. 213 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 6: But it ran Paul also exposed the fact that if 214 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 6: you were an anti masker, you are potentially on this 215 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 6: quiet Sky's list. 216 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 3: TSA. 217 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 6: Can you imagine where you know at the time the 218 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 6: federal government, Anthony Fauci, I mean, there is so much 219 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 6: inconsistent messaging with the masks. At one point they said 220 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 6: to wear a mask, not to wear a mask, and 221 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 6: we all know now that masks are pretty much useless 222 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 6: and trying to stop. 223 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 3: That type of virus. 224 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 6: But it goes to show you the lengths of the 225 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 6: stupidity of the federal government, but also how dangerous it 226 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 6: could be. 227 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 3: And that's why I'm glad to see Senator Rampaul expose it. 228 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very important that we get the truth out 229 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: and then make sure the truth sticks so it doesn't 230 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: happen again. I want to turn to the FBI. It's 231 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: obviously a new leadership. With cash retown, We're getting to 232 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: learn a lot of secrets. Earlier this week at a 233 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: story that FBI agents by the scores, literally scores of 234 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: FBI agents told the FBI in twenty one they thought 235 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: their agency had become by in the aftermath of the 236 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: January sixth investigation that they saw j six defendants treated 237 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: differently than the BLM Summer twenty twenty rioters. They also 238 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: believed there were other problems in the bureau. And then 239 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: later on we learned the FBI had three informants saying 240 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden Hunter Biden might be up to something corrupt 241 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: in Ukraine and it doesn't get looked at. The more 242 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: we learned about the FBI, it seems like the Ray 243 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: or the Komi, the Ray years, we didn't have the FBI. 244 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 2: Maybe we thought we had. 245 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 3: No It was a completely dark time. 246 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 6: I mean, you know, they lost so much credibility once 247 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 6: they said that Hunter Biden's laptop was a hoax, and 248 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 6: it just continued since then. 249 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 3: And I'm glad to see that you exposed. 250 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 6: You know, how many of the agents were actually there 251 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 6: on January sixth, and who didn't want to be there, 252 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 6: I mean. 253 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: So many at the time. 254 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 6: We've had so many congressional hearings before I even got 255 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 6: elected to Congress, and Christopher Ray would never disclose so 256 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 6: much of this information. So it was great journalism on 257 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 6: your part, John. 258 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 3: But you know, I'm glad to see Cash but Teltick 259 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 3: in the helm. 260 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 6: If you look at all the successes, I mean the 261 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 6: Charlie Kirks assassination, which is a terrible tragedy, but to 262 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 6: see how Cash Betel was able to provide some sort 263 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 6: of justice by capturing the suspects so quickly. I mean 264 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 6: that happened in less than thirty three hours. I mean 265 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 6: that was faster than the Boston marathon bombings, faster than 266 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 6: the DC sniper shooting. So to see that the FBI 267 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 6: is going back to its core mission and defending Americans 268 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 6: and going after the bad guys. I mean, so much 269 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 6: of what Director Pttel has been doing is it hasn't 270 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 6: been making the news, but going after child sex traffickers. 271 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 6: All of this is making sure that the folks, the 272 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 6: FBI is back to its core mission. That's exactly what 273 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 6: the President Trump and what Cash Betel has been doing 274 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 6: over the past few months. 275 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, just on the crime practice alone, eight thousand major 276 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: criminal king things rested up in the last couple of months. 277 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: It's just remarkable the numbers. I want to turn to 278 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: the shutdown quickly. How do you think this ends? What 279 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: do you expect the White House to do to shrink 280 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: the size of government? And at what point do Democrats 281 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: blink and say, oh, we made a mistake. 282 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 6: Well, the Democrat st at quickly learning they're dealing with 283 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 6: one of the toughest negotiators with President Trump, and their 284 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 6: negotiation power just keeps dwindling by the hour. So I 285 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 6: know that the Senate, you know, I don't think that 286 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 6: they have the votes today or maybe even Monday or Tuesday, 287 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 6: but I expect by mid next week some of the Democrats. 288 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 3: On the Senate side are going to eventually cave. 289 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 6: Maybe Chuck Schumer won't because he seems to be beholden 290 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 6: by the radical left base, because he's scared of primary challenges, 291 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 6: or I don't know what he's scared of. But what's 292 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 6: so shocking about this, John is thirteen times the Democrats 293 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 6: have passed a clean cr and to see them being 294 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,359 Speaker 6: hypocrites right now, it's not just Republicans noticing, it's all Americans. 295 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 3: So it's we got to get back to business here 296 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 3: in Washington. 297 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 6: I think this is a temper tantrum that Democrats are 298 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 6: doing because they lost last November and they don't understand 299 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 6: why they lost. So I expect them to continue to lose, 300 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 6: which is a good thing for Republicans. I mean, they 301 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 6: keep going further and further to left, and this government 302 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 6: shut down. It's totally done by the Democrats. It's the 303 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 6: Senate Democrats, and hear the House Democrats. They're trying to 304 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 6: egg them on also. But I don't believe the Republicans 305 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 6: are going to Budge, we have no reason to you know, 306 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 6: this is a clean CR. They're the ones shutting down 307 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 6: the government because they want to give health care to 308 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 6: legal immigrants. That's a non starter. We already have a 309 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 6: clean CR that funds the government for just a six 310 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 6: more weeks until November twenty first. And if they don't 311 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 6: realize that this is a bad mistake that they're doing, well, 312 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 6: American American people already turning on them. 313 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 314 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: I think the American people will eventually remind them, Robbie, 315 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: rather painfully. Congressman, what a great honor. I always love 316 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: the work you're doing.

Joining us now 356 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: to tell us how this whole shutdown is playing. And 357 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: one of the most important battleground states of the country, Wisconsin, 358 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: is Congressman Glenn Growthman, Sir, good to have you on. 359 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 7: Glad to be on the show, and I'm glad you 360 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 7: sterned by talking about unnecessary federal bloys. This is an 361 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 7: area where I think in the past the Republics have 362 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 7: dropped the ball, right. I think they could have followed 363 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 7: dogeous lead on the big beautiful bell. They could have 364 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 7: had less federal employees on our recently passed bea since 365 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 7: authorization bill. 366 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 8: They could have had a lot less employees. 367 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 7: Right now in the Department Offense, they have over seven 368 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 7: hundred thousand non uniform personnel right I anyway, I think 369 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 7: we have seven hundred thousand people ready to fight. 370 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 9: No. 371 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 8: Seven hundred thousand. 372 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 7: Sitting down this computer speed. That's ridiculous. The Republicans in Congress, 373 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 7: I can fail in public. They're now reducing that number 374 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 7: in the authorization bill. But now President Trump can look 375 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 7: at it, and I would guess from anectdot evidence here 376 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 7: in town people talking about people they're relatives who are 377 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 7: from the government, people from their church, whatever. There are 378 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 7: lots of federal employees making six years over. Now is 379 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 7: the time for President Trump to look at these employees. 380 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 7: Let's not forget during this whole Lord deal, twenty six 381 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 7: percent of the federal budgets bored. 382 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 8: Think about that, every. 383 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 7: Social Security check, every Medicare rembersonment, twenty six percent is 384 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 7: by road. Now is the time for President Trump to 385 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 7: look at these positions and say, do. 386 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 8: We need seven hundred thousand. 387 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 7: Non uniform personality en partners or can we lower that 388 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 7: to five hundred thousand or four hundred thousand? And if 389 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 7: that goes on quite fright, there's your town is worth. 390 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 391 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, This may be one of the most consequential and 392 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: reshaping shutdowns in American history. You mentioned the large civilian 393 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: personnel at the Pentagon. 394 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 2: Where else do you think we saw some. 395 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: Major green energy and green infrastructure things that were left 396 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: over the Biden years cut real quickly? Do you have 397 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: some other favorites that you'd like to see the Trump 398 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: administration trim the fat from? 399 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 2: Well? 400 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 7: I think everybody knows the low and composing desk. But 401 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 7: that's twelve million dollars a year for something that's just 402 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 7: a give away to wealthy property developers. That's another thing 403 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 7: where there's. 404 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 8: Not a small savings. 405 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 7: I would like to see President Trump go and go 406 00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 7: after them. 407 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 8: They're very politically active. That's still no reason toys twelve 408 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 8: million hours in here. 409 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really smart. All right. 410 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: I want to turn to the subject we were talking 411 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: about with one of your new colleagues in Congress, Congressman A. 412 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 2: Mohammada. 413 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: The idea that a member of Congress, a man who 414 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: wore the uniform, fought for this country, was an intelligence professional, 415 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: could be targeted on a plane just because he filed 416 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: a challenge to an election. 417 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 2: Role in Arizona during the twenty twenty two election. 418 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: It's I guess it's a reminder any agency with any alphabet, letter, 419 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: abbreviation might have been weaponized in the last few years. 420 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 7: Well, this is the definition of what Titian is right. 421 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 7: The whole government is politicized. And if we ever get 422 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 7: a different president four years from now, we don't get 423 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 7: Vice President Van say, they'll go right back to this. 424 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 7: They will say every agency, the IRS, the FBI, or 425 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 7: now the TSA. Here's a list of people who are 426 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 7: a little bit too considerative, maybe they are little to Christian, 427 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 7: maybe a little too active in a Republican campaign. And 428 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 7: we're going to subject to you the special treatment because 429 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 7: that's what happened under Biden. It's not going to get 430 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,239 Speaker 7: me better four years from now, Folks, entirely different kind 431 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:14,719 Speaker 7: of country. 432 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 8: Like I said, this is the type of treatment you 433 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 8: expect in North Korea. Maybe the type of treatment you 434 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 8: expect in Red China. 435 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 7: I don't know whether they need this comprehensive, but this 436 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 7: is what you're getting right. 437 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 8: Now in this country. Very scary stuff. 438 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 7: We're going to have the TSA a special attention to 439 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 7: you because you're a Republican. That's not the type of 440 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 7: country we live in. That's not the type of country 441 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 7: you've had for my whole lifetime. And I'm very disappointed 442 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 7: that you don't see more Democrats out there being critical 443 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 7: of Biden administration and saying, no, that's not us. 444 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 8: These are some rogue bureaucrats out there. 445 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 7: The Democrats are silent, which to me means you can't 446 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 7: expect a politicized bureaucracy if the Republicans everyone was the president. 447 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 8: Very scary stuff. 448 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. 449 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: I want to turn to something that you tweeted about 450 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: on X earlier this week, and that was that there's 451 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: some evidence uncovered by the House Education Committee that the teachers' 452 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: unions are routing some pensions into some high fee pension programs, 453 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: meaning the teacher pays a large, exorbitant fee so that 454 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: some of the money can kick back to the unions. 455 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: It seems like a terrible way to treat your union members. 456 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: Concerning to you from what the committee found this. 457 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 7: Week, well, it is very concerning, and particularly because the 458 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 7: teachers union is so radical, I don't think enough attention 459 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,719 Speaker 7: is being paid to where they stand on the issues 460 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 7: and how politicize they are. 461 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 8: People sometimes say, oh, do we really need school choice. 462 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 7: I'll tell you not every teacher votes for these teachers unions. 463 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 7: The teachers Union got there somehow, and they got there 464 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 7: because a majority of teachers in this compory agree with 465 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 7: their radical positions on a wide variety of issues. 466 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 8: You know, we don't need people taking an extreme view, 467 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 8: say on. 468 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 7: Transgenders, or an extreme view on moderations in the country. 469 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 7: But that's what you've got right now, and they are 470 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 7: using the teachers is using extracted from member remote those 471 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 7: in genas just as scary as the teachers you were using. 472 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 7: It is that the members over a period of years 473 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 7: have elected those type of people, believe them, not every teacher, 474 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 7: but clearly a majority of the teachers, which is one 475 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 7: of the reasons why you hear such scary things coming 476 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 7: out of the mouths of the little kids nowadays. 477 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it is. And then you see all these 478 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: young people who seem to be disturbed and weaponized during 479 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: their youth way in ways. I don't think we could 480 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: have imagined the assassin of Charlie Kirk or any of 481 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: these other shooters recently. There's clearly a weaponization going on 482 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: in their lives. I'm sure some of that comes from education. 483 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: I want to turn to some brand news that just 484 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: happened a few moments ago. Hamas just announced that it 485 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: will release all Israeli hostages and degree two parts of 486 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 1: President Trump's peace plan. We'll have to see where that 487 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: goes back and forth, but it does seem like President 488 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: Trump's negotiating skill has moved Hamas a big way. Your 489 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: thought on with that deadline coming up this week, and 490 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: what the President is moving towards in the Middle East 491 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: with Cutter and Saudi Arabia. 492 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 2: Now, maybe Hamas, I'll believe. 493 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 8: It when I see it. But it's great news, isn't it. 494 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 8: And it shows what happens to me. 495 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 7: As a strong president who really cares about these people. 496 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 8: And because he cares about these people, he's going to order. 497 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 7: The mat to make sure any of the hostages still alive. 498 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 7: And let's hope, Jorian, we're still alive, are going to 499 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 7: be released because of President Trump's forceful negotiating and the 500 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 7: fact that he was able to lean on other countries 501 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 7: in the world of Islam to weigh in. And I 502 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 7: think if Amas realizes they no longer have the friends 503 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 7: in places like Petter, what else are they going to do? 504 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. 505 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: Cutter, I mean Cutters now made up a little bit 506 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: with Israel. There was a good conversation between the Prime 507 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: ministers earlier this week. US is going to give a 508 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: security guarantee of sorts to Cutter to make sure Israel 509 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: doesn't ever attack it again. Is there an Abraham accord 510 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: starting to two point zero that's starting to shape up 511 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: in front of our eyeser. 512 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 8: Oh, I think I'm questionably. 513 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 7: You know, one of the downsides of President and Trump 514 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 7: not winning the election a problem is I think they 515 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 7: were on the verge of adding more to Abraham Accords. 516 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 7: It's easier to forget we're not even when you're into 517 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 7: this Trump administration. I think one of the goals is 518 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 7: to add more countries there, and I guess what he's 519 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 7: going to do, and I think this is the first 520 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 7: step in that direction. 521 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be historic. 522 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: The Middle East could be fundamentally reshaped before he leaves 523 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: office in three years. It's pretty it's pretty remarkable. Real 524 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: quickly before we go, a big announcement expected next week. 525 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: You hail from one of the great farm basket states 526 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: in our great nation, Wisconsin. Great farmers. I've gotten to 527 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: know so many of them over the years. A Treasury 528 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: Secretary Bessett saying there will be announcement for some relief, 529 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: some economic assistance to farmers. How important could that be 530 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin? 531 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 7: Well, it is because you know, with the tariffs, and 532 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 7: most farmers there behind Trump all the way. They know 533 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 7: it's going to be short term for long term being, 534 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 7: but they have paid a price for the tariffs, and 535 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 7: I'm glad that President Trump it's not forgotten the price, 536 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 7: say the soybeing farmers are paying for this tradeline. 537 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so important. He hasn't forgotten him. 538 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: That's one of the things he remembers everybody that he 539 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: made a promise to and everybody he promised to keep 540 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: an eye on in this economy. And day in and 541 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: day out, there's always these new announcements, but they seem 542 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: to always remind us that the president hasn't forgotten the 543 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: people who elected him and what he told those people 544 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: he would try to do. It's pretty remarkable, just like 545 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: what you've done for a long time as a member 546 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: of Congress from the great state of Wisconsin. 547 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 2: Congress and Growthmen.

YEP stocks performing very well, 575 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: which means all of our retirements are doing a little 576 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: bit better. Joining us now to explain why that might 577 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: be the case. As the author of the incredible book 578 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: The Trump Economic Miracle and the co founder of Unleash Prosperity. 579 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: He is one of my favorite economists in the world. 580 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: Steve Moore, Steve, great to have you on the show, 581 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: my friend. All right, so I'd like to take three 582 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: people and tell you who wins and loses Americans, Chuck Schumer, 583 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Who's going to win out of those and 584 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: who's going to lose out of those three? 585 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 10: Well, I don't think there's any question that Chuck Schumer 586 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 10: is the big loser here. You know, it's the old parable, 587 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 10: but the guy who digs a ditch for his enemy 588 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 10: to fall into when he falls into the ditch himself. 589 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 10: And that's exactly what's happened there with Chuck Schumer. They 590 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 10: thought that they would win. And by the way, I 591 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 10: understand why that Chuck Schumer might think that the Democrats 592 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 10: would win here, because usually they do win these lockdown 593 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 10: shutdown battles. I've been through you and I've probably been 594 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 10: through about fifteen of these in our lives, and it's 595 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 10: always the Republicans that kept blaming. But in this case, 596 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 10: Chuck Schumer just overplayed his hand. Everybody realized that it 597 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 10: was Schumer who wanted to shut down the government to 598 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 10: win political points against the Republicans, and it's failed. And 599 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 10: as you know, some of the crats in the House 600 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 10: and Senator are sliding off, and so I anticipate that 601 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 10: by the middle of next week this will be over 602 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 10: because he's got a plan, a hand that is unsustainable 603 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 10: that he's playing. 604 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's right. 605 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: I've been starting to talk to some modern Democrats today 606 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: and I think some of those hearts and minds are 607 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: changing quick in that rank of filel and they kind 608 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: of feel victimized by one thing, the. 609 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 10: Wis you know that the other big loser here could 610 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 10: be the American people. The American people would lose the 611 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 10: most if Republicans caved in, because if the Republicans cave 612 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 10: in to Chuck Schumer's demands, we're talking about another trillion 613 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 10: trillion and a half dollars of debt. And you know, 614 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 10: as I look at the American economy, I'm with you. 615 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 10: I think, you know, the stock markets a record highs, 616 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 10: We're producing more energy than ever before. Inflation is pretty tame. 617 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 10: I'd like to see it a little bit lower, but 618 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 10: it's come down. Uh, you know, if you look at 619 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 10: these statistics on GDP, it's been growing at almost four percent. 620 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 11: Those are good numbers. 621 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,719 Speaker 10: The one thing that scares me, and I think scares 622 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 10: a lot of your viewer, is the massive amount of 623 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 10: debt and overspending that's happening in Washington. And what really 624 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 10: the basis for the Schumer shutdown is he wants to 625 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 10: add another trillion dollars of debt spending and that's not 626 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 10: something I think most Americans are in favor of. 627 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the kerosene that burns the city down. It 628 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: really is crazy to think that they're trying to throw 629 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: more onto an economy where it was. 630 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 2: Just starting to cool down. 631 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: All right, I want to ask a little bit first 632 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: about the economy. Then I want to go back and 633 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: say how far might did President Trump be able to 634 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: go in shrinking? 635 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 2: But let's start with the economy. 636 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: That three point eight percent GenDB growth number was surprising 637 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: to a lot of people. Seem to put a contradiction 638 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: to a lot of what Jerome Pouel's been saying about 639 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: the economy recently. 640 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 2: What's up of that? 641 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, the numbers. I was surprised by the numbers as well. 642 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 11: Now they're a little deceptive because some. 643 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 10: Of it was driven by consumer spending, but a lot 644 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 10: of it has been driven by business investment. And that's 645 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 10: a good sign because business investment obviously is the best 646 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 10: future predictor of growth. You can't have an it's growing 647 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 10: and business starn't investing in plant and equipment and research and. 648 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 11: More workers. 649 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 10: So I think that's a positive thing, and it's you know, 650 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 10: I'm pretty bullish on the economy. 651 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 11: There are some problems out there, no question about it. 652 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 10: I do believe the tariffs have slow growth and they're 653 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 10: causing some supplied chain problems throughout the economy, and we 654 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 10: have to work that out. And I think we've probably 655 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 10: grow in a four and a half percent for one 656 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 10: for the terriffs. But other than that, you've got to 657 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 10: say that this is a pro business president, pro jobs president, 658 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 10: and it's an agenda that most Americans feel pretty good about. 659 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's no doubt about it. 660 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: Well, there's one part of the economy that I think 661 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: is the most stubbornly difficult right now, and that is 662 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: young people being unable to buy their first house like 663 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: the all the other generations before the American dream. President 664 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: Trump is working. I know, on several housing initiatives. We've 665 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: got some amazing new companies like Boxable coming upgrading cheaper 666 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: homes that can turn quicker. Do you expect some time 667 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: in the next few months that there are some dense 668 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: into this problem and maybe a pathway to a more 669 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: affordable home ownership of the future. 670 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 10: Well, by the way, this narrative of an affordability crisis, 671 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 10: you know that people just can't afford things now, I 672 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 10: think it's a little misleading. 673 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 11: You know, we we've looked at the we have access 674 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 11: to the data. We calculate this every month. 675 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 10: In the first six months of the Trump presidency, median 676 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 10: income above inflation is up by about eleven hundred dollars. 677 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 10: So people are you know that slide that we saw 678 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 10: under Biden has actually reversed course, so people have more 679 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 10: purchasing power, not less than they did six months ago. 680 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 10: But you're right, there's three areas where prices are really 681 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 10: high right now. 682 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 11: And one is is you just mentioned housing. 683 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 10: A second one is is healthcare, and health you know 684 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 10: is stop at another you know, eight or nine percent 685 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 10: this year. 686 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 11: And the other is education costs. 687 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 10: Gee, I wonder why educational healthcare are rising so much. 688 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 10: Maybe it's because the government runs those and so that 689 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 10: is an affordability crisis. 690 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 11: But you know, gas prices are lower now. I paid 691 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 11: two eighty nine the other day filling up my tank. 692 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 11: So remember when there were five dollars a gallon. 693 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 10: So energy prices are down and other prices are pretty stable. 694 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:20,239 Speaker 2: You know. 695 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 10: Look, this housing crisis in terms of affordability is a 696 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 10: tough one. I think it's because there's a lot of 697 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 10: zoning restrictions and a lot of cities to build multi 698 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 10: family homes. I think there is a problem where a 699 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 10: lot of Americans who are in their seventies and eighties, 700 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 10: who've owned a house for say thirty years, would like 701 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 10: to sell it, but if they sell it, they're going 702 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 10: to page on a huge capital gains tax. One of 703 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 10: the things that I proposed is let's have a fifty 704 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 10: you know, let's lower the capital gains stand packs to 705 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 10: fifteen percent and let people sell these properties. 706 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 11: And that would free up. 707 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 10: A lot of property for younger people in their twenties 708 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 10: and thirties and forties who want to buy a house. 709 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 2: That's a really good point. People don't talk about that. 710 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: That is I know a lot of boomers like I 711 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: would have sold, but I'm not paying that much taxes. 712 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: I'm so I'm just going to hold onto it sainly. 713 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: That is a real dynamic, really real dynamic. 714 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 10: Because like I just durned sixty five, and you know, 715 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 10: I'm a boomer. I think you're probably a little younger 716 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 10: than I am. But now, yeah, the fact is that 717 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 10: you know you, as you get older, you know, you 718 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 10: would like to be able to sell it, maybe downsize 719 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 10: a little bit, and that I think has caused a 720 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,959 Speaker 10: lot of friction in the in. 721 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 11: The housing market. But we'll see. I mean, we need 722 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 11: to build more housing. 723 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 10: Accidentally, I'm on the board of a company John called 724 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 10: Life Speed and we build. 725 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 11: Houses with robots. 726 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 10: So you know, the cost of building houses is going 727 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 10: to come down. 728 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: That's going to be one of the great innovations that 729 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: we can get the regulatory system to catch up to. 730 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: And that'd be so difficult on zoning and other stuff. 731 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: There could be a housing boom of epic proportions. Right 732 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: before I let you go, how far could Donald Trump 733 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: shrink the government in a ten day twelve day shotdown? 734 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: If it turns out to be that is he you know, 735 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: he likes to go big rather than go home. What 736 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: do you think he achieved in this small window of time. 737 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 10: Look, this is a real risky proposition for the Democrats 738 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 10: because russ Bad is asserting this power. 739 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 11: And by the way, I don't know if he's got 740 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 11: the power or not. I hope he does, because I'd 741 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 11: love to see some of these agencies. 742 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 10: But he's saying, Look, if we are just temporarily going 743 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 10: to lay off these non essential employees, let's let's full it, 744 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 10: you know, let's permanently lay them up. 745 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:24,720 Speaker 11: Let's drain the swamp. 746 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 2: Here. 747 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 10: We're running a two trillion dollar deficit. Of a business 748 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 10: was running losing two hundred million dollars a year, it 749 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,720 Speaker 10: would look for ways to cut costs. 750 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 11: And so I think there's something here. 751 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 10: I think the West bott would have the American people 752 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 10: behind him. I mean, my god, if we've got hundreds 753 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 10: and hundreds of thousands of non essential employees, why do 754 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 10: we need them? 755 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point. 756 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: Why do we need him if we don't, if we 757 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 1: could let him go this easily, it's a great point. 758 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 2: See more. 759 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: Always a great conversation, folks.

Eighty 849 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 13: percent of people who have a heart attack, have a stroke, 850 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:50,760 Speaker 13: have high blood pressure. 851 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 12: So we need to figure out how to get your hands. 852 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 13: Off the hose and open up those blood vessels and 853 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 13: the things that our drink. 854 00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 12: Some of them do that. 855 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing, just so simple. 856 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: And ingredients that have been tested and known to be 857 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: beneficial to lowering blood pressure.

And I'm reading the studies, I'm like, 869 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 13: this is like, I'm not making it up. This is 870 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 13: for real.
