There's a 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: lot of electricity out there, but she's going to join 20 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: us with live reporting along with Steve Hilton, the host 21 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: of the wildly popular Steve Hilton Show, for a live report. 22 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: There's amazing things going on on the ground's here. It's 23 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: very bad, it's very fast moving. It's a very dangerous 24 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: situation changing by the minute. 25 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 3: Now. 26 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: One thing that hasn't changed is that these fires keep 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: occurring in a state that, for more than three decades 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: has been told repeatedly by Donald Trump, by the Congress, 29 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: even its own state auditors that it has not done 30 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: enough to mitigate fire dangers or improve its ability to 31 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: fight the growing scourge of wildfires. 32 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember. 33 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: When the late Senator Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, asked the 34 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: investigative arm of Congress for reporting California wild pirate for 35 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: wild fire prevention. She got an airflor in return. I 36 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: think we can bring this report up on screen. It's 37 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: an old document, but it's really important to see. The 38 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: report from nineteen ninety four warned that California was ill 39 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: prepared for the fires that were going forward. Fast forward 40 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: to twenty eighteen, and President Trump blasted Governor Gavin Newsom 41 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: for not dealing with overgrown vegetation after a deadly fire 42 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: that year. In twenty twenty two, California's own auditor blasted 43 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: the state saying it was not doing enough for pressure 44 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: utility companies to do more to prevent sparks and clear 45 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: vegetation near transmission wires. Okay, so two years ago, almost 46 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: three years ago. Now they made that warning. Just last month, 47 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: guess what the state acknowledged one of its biggest utilities 48 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: hasn't been transparent about its fire prevention efforts, and so 49 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: therefore the state doesn't really know if they're any safer 50 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 2: than they were three years ago. And of course, during 51 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: last year's presidential campaign, Donald Trump highlighted the failure of 52 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 2: California to tap into vast reservoirs of water in its 53 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: northern mountains to bring much needed water to the south. Now, 54 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: why is that important today? We've had multiple reports that 55 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: firefighters fighting one of the three big blazes in La 56 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: this one in the Palisades region of the city, found 57 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: empty fire hydrants, no pressure, no water, bad sign right, 58 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: something that could have been fixed. We still don't know 59 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: how today's fire started, but the early evidence suggests California 60 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 2: as far from fixing a wild fire crisis that keeps 61 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: repeating itself in front of our very eyes and often 62 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: with deadly kind consequences. On that point, at least two 63 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: people are reported dead today from this morning's fires, and 64 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: the Palisades alone fire has consumed a stunning one thousand 65 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: homes in its first twenty four hours. Fire officials say 66 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: that makes it the most destructive fire at LA history. 67 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: It's only twenty four hours old. All Right, a couple 68 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: quick notes on other headlines making news today, and then 69 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 2: we'll turn right to our guests. President elect Trump's legal 70 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: team asked the US Supreme Court to block Friday sentencing 71 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 2: in the New York hush money case. This after a 72 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: federal apeals court refused. 73 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: To do so. 74 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: We're keeping an eye on the High Court to see 75 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: if the justices intervened. And Republicans today in Congress keep 76 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: getting some fast work going. They introduced legislation to imposed 77 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: term limits on themselves on future lawmakers and to give 78 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: President elect Trump the power to take control of the 79 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: Panama Canal, a debate that's now raging all across the world. 80 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: Pretty interesting stuff. 81 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: You can get caught up on the details on those 82 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: two stories over at justinews dot com. All Right, as promise, 83 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: so we're going to bring in my amazing co host, 84 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: Amanda Head and the host of the Steve Hilton show 85 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: something you should watch it. 86 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: It's a great, great show. 87 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: He's a Los Angeles resident, both of them in the 88 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: middle of this infirm know, Steve, Amanda. Great to have 89 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: you on, Steve, let me start with you. It feels 90 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 2: a little bit like this as a bad version of 91 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: the movie Grand hog Day where California has a wildfire. 92 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: They promised to do better than California. Is another why 93 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: I found it, and you find out they haven't done 94 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: much better. 95 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: What say you, Well, you're exactly right. 96 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 4: I mean, it's great to be with you, John and Amanda. 97 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 5: I'm sorry. It's such terrible circumstances. 98 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 4: It is an epic apocalyptic disaster, and of course the 99 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 4: first thing we have to do is capture the human 100 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 4: side of it, the fact that we've got these incredible, 101 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 4: heroic firefighters battling these blazes, trying to protect property, trying 102 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 4: to protect life, and of course so many people in 103 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 4: Los Angeles are going to be displaced. Kids can't go 104 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 4: to school, there's nowhere to live. They're not all wealthy 105 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 4: people in Pacific Palisades and the other area is affected. 106 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 4: So this is an absolute nightmare of human catastrophe, and 107 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 4: it's going to get worse. I think we haven't even 108 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 4: begun to understand how bad this already is and how 109 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 4: much worse it can get. But exactly as you say, 110 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 4: this is a mo when we can look at the 111 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: multiple failures that have not only potentially caused this but 112 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 4: certainly made it worse. Of course, it's true that disasters happen. 113 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 4: Natural disasters happen, but they're much worse in places that 114 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 4: are badly run. And there is nowhere in America that 115 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 4: is worse run than California. And if you go through 116 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 4: the various issues that are contributing right now to the 117 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: scale of this disaster, exactly as you just laid out, 118 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 4: we can see that it is as a result, a 119 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 4: direct result of the kind of incompetence and mismanagement. And 120 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 4: it's not just cluelesseners and ineptitude. There's a really important 121 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 4: point that people have to understand. It is the prioritization 122 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 4: of other things that have caused these conditions, the prioritization 123 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 4: of ideological objectives instead of practical things that can actually 124 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 4: manage situation as well. So, for example, when you look 125 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 4: at the situation in terms of the fuel that has 126 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 4: been left to just get worse and worse that fuels 127 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 4: the fires. Now people have been pointing out I've seen 128 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 4: Democrats today saying it's ridiculous for Republicans to say that 129 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 4: this is about forest management. 130 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 5: This isn't a forest, this is a city. 131 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 4: That's true, But of course the vegetation you have there 132 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 4: Chaparral is exactly the same kind of concept, which is 133 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: you've got to keep the fuel under control. 134 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 5: And so for years now. 135 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 4: We haven't had the kind of fuel clearance, the fire 136 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 4: roads being built, the fire breaks being built, the management 137 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 4: of all of that. Why because of the prioritization of 138 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 4: environmental objective. But how good is it for the environment 139 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 4: to have this kind of catastrophe. 140 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: Same with water. 141 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 4: For people say, oh, this is drought and it's all 142 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 4: to do with climate change, that is ridiculous. We've got 143 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 4: all the water we need in California, but for years 144 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 4: and years we've had people in charge who won't do 145 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 4: what is necessary to capture it, to store it, and 146 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 4: to get it where it's needed. And then when you 147 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 4: look at how this thing started in the first place, 148 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 4: they say that they're going to investigate and tell us 149 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 4: what happened, but they ever do the fire not far 150 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 4: from where the fire we're talking about today a couple 151 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 4: of weeks ago, just before the holidays in Malibu almost 152 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 4: certainly started in a homeless encampment. Of course, these homeless 153 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 4: encampments have been allowed to proliferate throughout Los Angeles and 154 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 4: California year after year after year, with dangerous behavior there 155 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 4: that again could well be. 156 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: The cause of this. 157 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 4: They're going to investigate, will they ever tell us that 158 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 4: is in doubt? So, yes, we do need to do 159 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: a lot better, but the only way that's going to 160 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 4: happen is if you have real political change in California. 161 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, we have to. 162 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 4: Just focus on what's right ahead of us, looking after 163 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 4: the people who've been affected, and thinking of those firefighters 164 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 4: a are doing just incredible work right now. 165 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, they are a lot of heroes, I'm saying, a 166 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: lot of great citizenship. I think we saw Steve one 167 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 2: of the great actors out there helping people today, people 168 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: stepping in and helping each other, which as a reminder 169 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: of how gracious our country can be when crisis strikes. Amanda, 170 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: you've been out and about capturing some of the humanity 171 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: and the consequences of this extraordinary disaster. You've got some 172 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: video footage show shows what you got. 173 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: Sure. 174 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, So I have a couple of videos, one of 175 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 6: which I took for myself, and if you guys get 176 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 6: that rolling, I can just kind of describe what's happening. 177 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 6: One of which this is the video looking out one 178 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 6: side of one of our windows, and as you move 179 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 6: towards the south. This is looking southwest out of our window, 180 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 6: and you see how dark and ominous those clouds are, 181 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 6: and that I believe is probably coming from the Eaten fire, 182 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 6: because if you triangulate our residence, we're kind of smack 183 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 6: dab between. We've got Palisades Fire to the west of us, 184 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 6: the Hearst fire to the north of us, and Eaten 185 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 6: to the east of us. So other than that direction 186 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 6: that you're looking there, we're pretty surrounded. Although I will 187 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 6: say earlier today, I think it was about three hours ago, 188 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 6: they were finally able to deploy some air support to 189 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 6: the Palisades fire, and that's because there has been a 190 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 6: slight reduction in the wind. I was looking at some 191 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 6: of our hourly wind measurements and it looks like tonight, 192 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 6: at least where we are, it's going to be down 193 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 6: in the low twenties, which is about twenty miles per 194 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 6: hour fewer than last night. So I'm grateful for that. 195 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 6: But you guys pinpointed on something, I mean, Steve in particular, 196 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 6: the humanity aspect of this. Of course, every time around 197 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 6: we hear the same refrain from California elected officials is 198 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 6: we're going to figure this out. We're going to employ 199 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 6: the proper infrastructure, We're going to have innovative ideas and 200 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 6: fix this issue. And time after time, the people of 201 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 6: California are left with their lives and their residences in 202 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 6: shambles and ashes. And I know that it's easy to say, well, 203 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 6: you know, it's California. They're run by Democrats. Democrats have 204 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 6: had a super majority in Sacramento for decades. And while 205 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 6: that's true, you have to remember that this time around 206 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 6: in November, Donald Trump won I think over six million 207 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 6: votes in the state of California. He lost in twenty 208 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 6: twenty by thirty points in the state of California. He 209 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 6: lost the state of California in twenty twenty four by 210 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 6: twenty points. So he gained ten points in the state 211 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 6: of California. So let's keep that in perspective. But with 212 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 6: respect to the wasteful spending Steve was alluding to, you know, 213 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 6: you got hundreds of thousands of dollars going towards high 214 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 6: rises in downtown Los Angeles for homeless people, which absolutely 215 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 6: that's needed. However, if you were to put one of 216 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 6: these units on the free market and real estate, that 217 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 6: type of unit would go for half a million dollars. 218 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 6: So we're spending money there, hundreds of thousands of dollars 219 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 6: on a suicide net for the Golden Gate Bridge. And 220 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 6: yet Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, deemed it 221 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 6: appropriate to draw almost eighteen million funds away from LA 222 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 6: Fire Department. Now, money's fungible, but you can't directly say 223 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 6: that that went to illegal immigrant resources. But because of 224 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 6: the fungibility of money, if you take it away from 225 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 6: the fire department, and you're also allocating new resources to 226 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 6: illegal immigrants, the housing, all of the things that they 227 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 6: need when they come across, it's not that much of 228 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 6: a stretch to say we took away from this to 229 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 6: put it to this, and now the people of California 230 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 6: are suffering. 231 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, put there's an extraordinary dynamics to you, Gavin 232 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: Newsom really staking out the last few weeks. He wants 233 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: to be the resistance of the Donald Trump agenda in Washington. Meanwhile, 234 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 2: in his own home state, he seems to not be 235 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: able to handle the crisis he's at hand. And then meanwhile, 236 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: the new Democratic mayor that Amanda just mentioned, Carrien Bass, 237 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: she was overseas on a junket when this fire broke out. 238 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: How do Democrats look to everyday constituents in a Democrat 239 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 2: state with a crisis like this, Well. 240 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 4: This is what we've been suffering under. I mean, it's 241 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 4: more than a decade now, it's been one party rule. 242 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 4: If you look at the state legislature, it's like two plus, 243 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 4: it's twenty five years that they've been in total control. 244 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 5: They've had a super majority. 245 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 4: And yet what are the results. We see the results 246 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 4: on every issue. It's not just the issues that are 247 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 4: relevant to this disaster. It's a disaster and a failure 248 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 4: on every front. Right, you've had this bar left experiment, 249 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 4: one party rule. There's no one else to blame. They 250 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 4: kind of cut They've been in control of the state legislature, 251 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 4: the statewide elective offices, all the big cities, etc. Right, 252 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 4: and the result is we have the highest rate of 253 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 4: poverty in the country for most of last year, the 254 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 4: highest unemployment, the highest housing costs, are the worst homelessness, 255 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 4: the explosion in crime. I'm the worst business climate in America, 256 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 4: which is incredible when you think about California's reputation as 257 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 4: the home of innovation and enterprise, on and on. You know, 258 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 4: the highest gas prices. Everything is a disaster. And so 259 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 4: what do they do when you point this out. They 260 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 4: either try and fingers at Republicans ludicrously and try and 261 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 4: go to outs or Trump, or they just try and 262 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 4: pretend that it's not happening. So you have Gavin Newson 263 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 4: running around saying that Californias is a model for the nation, 264 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 4: literally using those words even on the issue of homelessness, laughably. 265 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 4: So they're just a total in denial about it. Delusional, 266 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 4: But exactly as Amanda says, what's really really important for 267 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 4: everyone to understand who's not in California is that the 268 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 4: tide is turning. People are waking up. You've got real 269 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 4: progress being made by Republicans in California when they stand 270 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 4: up for real, strong, common sense Republican values. You saw 271 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 4: that in Huntington Beach one of the cities that's that, 272 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 4: you know, one of the well known cities in California. 273 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 4: A few years ago, it was a six to one 274 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 4: Democrat controlled council. Two years ago a group of Republicans 275 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 4: got there and took control for three introduced immediately common 276 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 4: sense reforms on crime and homelessness and all these things. 277 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: Just now it went seven zero Republican. So it shows 278 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 4: that when you fight and you stand up for common sense, 279 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 4: you can win in California. And I think that's going 280 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 4: to happen in the future, probably sooner than anyone thinks. 281 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: Capitulation is not going to win anything. It's holding their ground. 282 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: I think that's something California Republicans had to learn the 283 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: hard way, but they seem to be doing it real quickly. Aman, 284 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: I want to turn to you one more time. There 285 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: is a lot of uncertainty about what happens over the 286 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: next twenty four hours. None of the fires are technically 287 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: under control at all. The winds are down, but even 288 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: twenty miles an hour moves a blaze pretty quickly, that's 289 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 2: still a pretty heavy win. At one point today, I 290 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: think it's the Palisaid fires was moving at a rate 291 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 2: of five football fields a minute. That's how fast it 292 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: was advancing forward. What are fire officials telling us about 293 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: what could be happening tonight? 294 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, the number one thing that I am hearing is 295 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 6: make sure you pay attention to what your city and 296 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 6: what local officials are telling you regarding evacuation. Fortunately, where 297 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 6: we are we have not really had any serious indications 298 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 6: that that's going to happen, but especially in pieces of 299 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 6: Pacific Palisades where I think another thirty thousand residents were 300 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 6: ordered to evacuate and eaten fire as well, which is 301 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 6: like the base of Altadena and Pasadena and South Pass. 302 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 6: Those are areas that people really need to be paying 303 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 6: attention and as this moves into other parts of the cities. Look, 304 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 6: if you don't have to use your go bag, great, 305 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 6: that's the best case scenario. But at least have your 306 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 6: things together. If you have cherished photographs or something like that, 307 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 6: make sure you collect everything that is valuable to you. 308 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 6: Fill up your car. I refrain from doing laundry today 309 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 6: because our power was out for most of the day, 310 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 6: but also I think I just kind of felt bad 311 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 6: about using any water. I don't know if we necessarily 312 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 6: are in a situation like that because another one of 313 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 6: the water issues, and especially with respect to the Palisades fire, 314 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 6: is that they have these water reservoirs, but because there 315 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 6: isn't a build up of fresh water on top of it, 316 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 6: there just simply isn't enough pressure, so you're not going 317 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 6: to be able to spray that effectively. I also if 318 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 6: I could get that footage from inside the car back 319 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 6: up there. That was a video that someone sent me 320 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 6: who was driving north on PCH and they were driving 321 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 6: past iconic places like reel In. I think they had 322 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 6: already passed Dukes and Gladstones and Shalada and these are 323 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 6: places that are, you know, decades old establishments in Malibu, 324 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 6: and everybody thinks that you know, Pacific Palisades in Malibu 325 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 6: and all of these, you know, these are ritzy, ritzy places. 326 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 6: These are sometimes in these cases, these are people who 327 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 6: have lived there, who these these homes have been passed 328 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 6: down through their family.

Theyre's that Colum, It's 382 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 2: been around for a long time. I think there's an 383 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 2: opportunity in the Trump second administration to do that. My 384 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: next guest, he's been on the front lines of transparency 385 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: for a long time, first getting us many of the 386 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 2: information we were deprived in the Russia collusion case, then 387 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: the Hunter Biden case. He's sponsored multiple pieces of legislation 388 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 2: to impose transparency on the federal government, and he recently 389 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: gave an interview where he called for a cabinet secretary 390 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 2: called the Secretary of Extraction, an idea I like a 391 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: lot joining us right now from the great state of Wisconsin, 392 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 2: Senator Ron Johnson, So good to. 393 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: Have you on the show. 394 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 3: Well, john didn't realize that I was ripping out for 395 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 3: your idea, but I guess it doesn't surprise me. We've 396 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 3: been trying to extract information from the. 397 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: Federal for the executive branch quite some. 398 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 3: Time, So it's a problem no matter who's president, the 399 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 3: deep state does not give up in secrets easily. 400 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, you're right, Unipuff. I think he improved out 401 00:18:59,720 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: of a lot. 402 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 2: I love that idea of Secretary of Extraction, and when 403 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: I saw it, I had a big smile on my face. 404 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: There are a lot of things that I think in 405 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: the next few years, if we could get released, would 406 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 2: go back and help us understand maybe the last decade 407 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 2: of challenges. We've had one of those, and it comes 408 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: up time and again. And because you've been to Ukraine 409 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: many times, I think you know the concerns about this 410 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 2: what role the government US government may or may not 411 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 2: have played in the overthrow of President Yanikovitz, the Russian 412 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 2: friendly president back in fourteen. Is that the sort of 413 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 2: body of documents that could be beneficial not only to 414 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 2: historians but Americans today as we kind of referee all 415 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: we've been through. 416 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 3: And I mean, there are just so many things, and 417 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 3: that's part of my problem becoming chairman of the Permit 418 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 3: Subcommittee investigation is where do I set my priorities. Yeah, 419 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 3: as you know, don't exactly have a huge budget, so 420 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 3: I'm very limited staff member wise. So yeah, I mean again, 421 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 3: there are just so many things the federal government has 422 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 3: been lying to the American public, probably from the start, 423 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 3: but certainly during my lifetime. You know, you go back 424 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 3: to the jfk assassination all the way through. You know 425 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 3: what CIA was doing. There's a reason there's a CIA 426 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 3: term called limited hangout. When they get caught with their 427 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: pants down. You know, they admit only what they have 428 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 3: to admit, and they pretty well rely on that disclosure 429 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 3: is taking care of it all. So, I mean, listen, 430 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 3: I do not trust the federal government. 431 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: I just don't. 432 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 3: I don't think these bureaucrats are honest with us. As 433 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 3: I said, the deep state does not revealed secrets very easily. 434 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, our founding fathers didn't trust the big central government. 435 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: So you're in good company with your distrust. There's no 436 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: doubt about it. As you look out over the next 437 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 2: couple of months, another big opportunity is to make a 438 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: meaningful cut and spending, get that deficit down, make some changes. 439 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 2: It would be historic and long overdue. You wrote a 440 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 2: column in a Wall Street Journal, everybody's been talking about it. 441 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 2: You're kind enough to come on my podcast if we 442 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 2: had a great conversation, but it actually isn't that hard 443 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 2: to get back to close to a balance budget or 444 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 2: balance budget. That's something you made everybody come to understand 445 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: the last few days. Tell us a little bit about 446 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 2: your idea, because I think it has a lot of 447 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: traction in Washington right now. 448 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 3: Well, it starts with people just understanding the numbers. Now 449 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 3: you ask people, they don't know how much the federal 450 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 3: government spent last year. 451 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: So I'm just laying out the numbers. 452 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 3: Prior to the pandemic, we spent four point four trillion dollars. 453 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 3: Then we went on the COVID spending spree in twenty 454 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 3: twenty spent six point six trillion, and for the last 455 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: five years we spent six point five trillion dollars on average. 456 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 3: Biden is proposing in his budget spending seven point three 457 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 3: trillion dollars this year. You know, who knows what will 458 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 3: actually end up spending. But this is absurd. The analogy 459 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 3: I'm using, as a family has a sick member, maybe 460 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,479 Speaker 3: they make one hundred thousand dollars serious illness, They've got 461 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 3: to spend fifty thousand dollars in medical bills, and then 462 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 3: individril gets cured, but they keep bran on spending one 463 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 3: hundred fifty thousand dollars borrowing fifty thousand dollars that they 464 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,239 Speaker 3: don't have. I mean, nobody would do that, okay, but 465 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 3: that's exactly what the federal government does. 466 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: And that's what they did. 467 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 3: So again from four point four to six point five 468 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 3: trillion dollars dollars, establishing a whole new baseline. And so 469 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 3: I'm just saying, guys, we've got to return to a 470 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 3: pre pandemic baseline. I've thrown out three options. And by 471 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 3: the way, so you leave Social Security Medicare alone, So 472 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 3: you use Biden's twenty twenty five budget numbers for that, 473 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 3: and the interest on the debt is what it is. 474 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 3: But all the other spending categories you grow by population 475 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 3: growth and inflation. So if you do that with Bill 476 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 3: Clinton's nineteen ninety eight spending, you'd spend five point five 477 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 3: trillion dollars this year. You'd have a balanced budget. If 478 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 3: that's true. Aggressive for you go back to President Obama 479 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: ten years ago twenty fourteen, you'd spend six point two 480 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 3: trillion dollars. If you go back to twenty nineteen, inflate it, 481 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 3: it'd be six point five trillion, so you still at 482 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 3: a minimum you're saving half a trillion dollars, and a 483 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: minimum a maximum saving about one and a half trillion 484 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 3: dollars over ten years. That's one that's fifteen trillion dollars. 485 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 3: These are nobody thinks that way. I mean, I think 486 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 3: conservatives and the House's been saying, well, we're going to 487 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 3: demand two and a half trillion dollars spending reductions over 488 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 3: ten years. 489 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: That's peanuts. 490 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 3: And by the way, I don't think anybody voted for 491 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 3: Donald Trump expecting Republicans to adhere to President Biden's outrageously 492 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 3: high spending levels. If you want to raign the federal government, 493 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 3: if if you think we're overregulated, we'll stop funding the beasts. 494 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 3: And again, I'm not talking anything right at draconian. I'm 495 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 3: talking about literally spending at Clinton spending levels or Obama's 496 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:33,959 Speaker 3: spending levels. 497 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: By the way, here's a little wrinkle to it. 498 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 3: If you just take President Trump's own budget, his last 499 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 3: budget from fiscal year twenty twenty one, and look at 500 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 3: his twenty twenty five spending estimates, his budget, he'd spend 501 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 3: six trillion dollars again spending social coating Medicare are what 502 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 3: they are protective. 503 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: So again, this is a reasonable proposal. 504 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 3: As one of the members of his Income Administration, as 505 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 3: I sent this to him, said, it's shockingly reasonable. 506 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I've heard from a lot of people. People. 507 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: That was a very profound column. 508 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 2: It really had hit it there just the right moment 509 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: I think is people are coming out of the holidays 510 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: starting to think we got a lot of work ahead 511 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: of us, and it made the work look a lot 512 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: more sensible when you dug it in the way it is. 513 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 2: You've had a chance to socialize this with your fellow 514 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: senators in the Republican Caucus. 515 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: What's been the reaction. What do you think the path. 516 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 2: Forward is for taking this from a column to something 517 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: that could become reality. 518 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 3: Well, it's paradigm shifting. I've had a lot of support, 519 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 3: you know. I think one of the things I need 520 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 3: to talk about. Here's the process. Sam Nex to Lindsey Graham, 521 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 3: he's chairman the Budget Committee. I'm on the budget committee. 522 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 3: He seemed very receptive of it. So if we pass 523 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 3: a budget, we provide committees the top line numbers. So 524 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 3: if you're on the Appropriation committee, now you can't do 525 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 3: discretionary spending appropriations through reconciliation, you'll need sixty votes, but 526 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 3: you can instruct the committees. Here's your budget number, figure 527 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 3: out how to prioritize spending below that number. 528 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 1: Spend not a dollar more. 529 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 3: In terms of reconciliation, you can use all the mandatory spending. Again, 530 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 3: social Security and Medicare's off the table, but everything else 531 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 3: could be on it. Through reconciliation, we can do anything 532 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 3: we want to with the mandatory spending. There's one point 533 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 3: three trillion dollars of other mandatory spending that even excludes Medicaid. 534 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 3: One point three trillion dollars is we have for other 535 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 3: mandatory spending, which would be we should take a looking at. 536 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 3: So there's again trillions of dollars to take a look at. 537 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 3: Let's set a budget like families do, like businesses do. 538 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 3: Let's live within our means. What a concept, uh? 539 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:36,239 Speaker 1: It is? 540 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 2: It is an extraordinarily common sense concept, which is probably 541 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 2: why it hasn't. 542 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: Been talked about much in Washington lately. I want to 543 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: ask a little. 544 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 2: Bit about something Congress did just as they were going 545 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: out the door for the Christmas holiday, they passed the 546 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: Social Security Fairness Act. 547 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: I think that's the actual name of the law. 548 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 2: It added another twenty million dollars a year in social 549 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: security expenses to a fund that's already in decline danger 550 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 2: of starting to become bankrupt in twenty twenty three, I 551 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 2: think it is, And the CBO says it's going to 552 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 2: take a year off of that bankruptcy projection. Is there 553 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 2: an opportunity as some of these savings start to come 554 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 2: in from discretionary spending in the government to start beefing 555 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: up those funds. Is there an appetite for that as well, 556 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 2: because otherwise a decade from now there's a crisis on 557 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: the horizon. 558 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 3: Well, again, the greatest stretched social security is the fact 559 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 3: that if we don't bring others spending under control so 560 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 3: that we will not have the financial wherewithal to plus 561 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 3: up the benefits when the trust fund runs out. And 562 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 3: you're right, I mean very responsible, ie vote against it. 563 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 3: A nice sounding bill, right, Well, the bill removed the 564 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 3: fix where public sector employees were basically double dipping into 565 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 3: social security. Now, some got harmed by that. The fix 566 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 3: was not completely fair. Now, we probably could have fixed 567 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 3: that for about I'm told twenty billion dollars. Instead, we 568 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: just eliminated the fix of the pass in the nineties 569 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 3: that costs two hundred billion dollars and again moving up 570 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 3: the the surplus or the trust funds insolvency up six 571 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 3: months per year. So I found it grotesquely responsible. I 572 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 3: ran saying, I want to protect those security that does 573 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 3: not protect so security that threatens it. 574 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's no doubt. It's remarkable. 575 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: I know you did vote against it, and there was 576 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 2: a good reason to do that. With the time we 577 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 2: have left, I think people are watching this extraordinary inferno 578 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 2: and Los Angeles lots of historic structors, homes, people really 579 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 2: racing for their lives in drastic conditions. The issue of 580 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 2: fire management in California has been around. 581 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: At least thirty years. I remember Senator. 582 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 2: Finestein dealing with it back in the nineties and doing 583 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,719 Speaker 2: some reporting that as a young AP reporter, whether it's 584 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 2: vegetation management, utility management, water management, it seems like California 585 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 2: didn't prepare for something that is as inevitable as what 586 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 2: we see on screen. 587 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: We know these big fires are high potential. 588 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: Your thoughts and what Congress might do to maybe force 589 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 2: change in California. 590 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 3: Another example of fleet failure of Democrat governance, you know, 591 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 3: across the board. I mean you have to maintain you 592 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 3: for us, you have to clean them up. You have 593 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 3: to get the you know the stuff that burns, you know, 594 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 3: all the tender You've got to clean that up. You 595 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 3: have to actually save the water. I mean they have 596 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 3: a bun and water coming out of the mountains with 597 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 3: the snowpacks. They don't save it because they got to 598 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 3: save the snail darter. And they're not keeping their electrical 599 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: grid up to snuff. That's a big problem across the board. 600 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 3: You know, we're not we're going to actually going to 601 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 3: meetings some of you can be talking about the vulnerability 602 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 3: of electrical grid to e MP and g m D. 603 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: Right. 604 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 3: So again, government it just doesn't solve problems. It exacerbates, 605 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 3: creates more problems than it ever solves. And if it's 606 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 3: Democrat governance orders the magnitude worse. 607 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: Well, one thing I'm certain of, you're going to be 608 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: on the front lines of pushing for less government and 609 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: more common sense solutions. You've been doing that for years. 610 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 2: Also more transparency. As we started this discussion with Senator 611 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 2: it's always a great honor to have you on the show. 612 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us today.

As you're starting to regulate some 838 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 9: of the dietary intake, you're not as hungry anymore, you 839 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 9: can't consume anymore, you're just it's just getting all of 840 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,760 Speaker 9: that put together so that you could get your body 841 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:15,879 Speaker 9: into control for the new year. 842 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really important. 843 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 2: One of the phenomenons that goes with people who struggle 844 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 2: with dying is a yoyo died I go up, I 845 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 2: go down, I go up, I go down. There are 846 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 2: some significant risk in going into that flight pattern, right. 847 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. 848 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 9: I mean I think what ends up happening is that 849 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,760 Speaker 9: each time somebody goes into a yo yo dieting phase. 850 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 9: But I share this with all the clients that I 851 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 9: work with them and the major thing is that they 852 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 9: usually don't have structure, so they're trying to figure this 853 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,839 Speaker 9: out by throwing another curveball into which might be lean 854 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 9: or it might be just you know, slightly working out. 855 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 5: But if you put together. 856 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 9: A structure and a plan for yourself, that is, you know, 857 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 9: we're going to work out five days a week, or 858 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 9: say let's go three days a week. 859 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 5: Then we're going to add a couple of supplements are. 860 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 9: Going to help with what we already know our issues 861 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 9: with lucas control or cravings, or if it's just something 862 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,279 Speaker 9: that gives you a little bit more energy. Those are 863 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 9: the type of things that you need to add on 864 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 9: and kind of build upon the structure. And I think 865 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 9: that's the reason why yoyo dieting happens is that we 866 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 9: just kind of lose structure in. 867 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 5: What we're trying to get done. The target isn't clear. 868 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 9: And you know, once we get that down, the yo 869 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 9: yo dieting starts to really slow down, the oyaing stops, 870 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 9: it becomes something staple, and then losing weight. It's just 871 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 9: a very not say losing weight is a byproduct of 872 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 9: a healthy diet and a healthy structure. 873 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 874 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 2: And when I started the structure, I had a real 875 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 2: simple structure. It was lean in the morning, a big 876 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 2: walk in the morning, go to work, and at night 877 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 2: field of greens. I take my shake at night before 878 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 2: I go to bed, and boy, all of a sudden, 879 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 2: over about a month's time, the cravings went away and 880 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:44,840 Speaker 2: I wasn't thinking about food anymore. 881 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: And it's amazing. What's your right structure? Is it? 882 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of excuses you can make for 883 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,720 Speaker 2: going off course on the day, but keeping that structure 884 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 2: is key. There's a big fad now, all these injectable 885 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 2: drugs that people are taking, and then you see people 886 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,760 Speaker 2: losing some pretty traumatic weight. Tell us why they're working 887 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 2: and are there any risks to these injections? 888 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 9: I mean, there is definitely I mean, I guess I'm 889 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 9: of a comical look is that there's there's called the 890 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 9: ozebic face, right where people start having their face starts 891 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 9: losing some structure and they start to lose they yes, they. 892 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 5: Lose weight, but they might lose some muscle mass. 893 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 9: But that there is I mean, I would say some 894 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 9: of the fears that people have with that are are 895 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 9: you kind of have to just regulate that with your 896 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 9: doctor and your physician. Some people react a little bit 897 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 9: differently there. I think a lot of it is for 898 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 9: what its purposes, which is to take your glucose control down, 899 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 9: and your and your glucose level is down. 900 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 5: I think it's fine. 901 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 9: I think that there are some component of that where 902 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 9: I think we're always looking for some that's that's kind 903 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 9: of where I talk about with the structure. We're always 904 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 9: trying to look for something that makes that's trying to 905 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 9: give us a false sense of that structure. And if 906 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 9: we're able to go in there create working out creating 907 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,360 Speaker 9: a good diet, if you need something on the side 908 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 9: to help you with like lean to assist you and 909 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 9: give you another hey, like daily morning structure of like hey, 910 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 9: I need to take this supplement in the morning. 911 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 5: This is going to help me out with energy. 912 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 9: It's no different than coffee, right, every one has a 913 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 9: structure in the morning where they're like, hey, look we 914 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,799 Speaker 9: got this schedule. Wake up in the morning, I get 915 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 9: my coffee for you. Right now, John happens to be 916 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 9: wake up in the morning, lean and then go and 917 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 9: take a walk. So I think building on that, but 918 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 9: I mean injections, if you're being well monitored by a physician, 919 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 9: they're safe, and I think they're okay. I think if 920 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 9: they're used purely for aesthetics and weight loss, I think 921 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 9: there's better way is depth, but definitely better ways of 922 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 9: going about that. 923 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. 924 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, Particularly some of the people think injections aren't doing 925 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 2: the other stuff like the walk and the structure, and 926 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 2: so yeah, yeah, you're not getting the benefit of those 927 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 2: other parts. 928 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,279 Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I know, right, yeah, So let me ask 929 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: you about this. 930 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 2: The first time I took Lean, I got there was a 931 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 2: little panfle with it and it said Lean is not 932 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 2: for the casual diet. 933 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,280 Speaker 1: Like, wait a second, I do want to be casual. 934 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 2: About this, But that's a very important point you want 935 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 2: to make with is describe why you tell that to 936 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 2: people who are about to start on LAN. 937 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 9: Yeah, So I mean, if you look in to lose 938 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 9: a few pounds, it's just it's pretty easy just to 939 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 9: cut back on your food, get some diet in.

Joining us 1001 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 2: now to discuss the phenomenon is health and Wellness expert 1002 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,880 Speaker 2: and the CEO of Daily nor E, Caroline Caro Lar Caroline. 1003 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: Great to have you on, Great to be here. 1004 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,479 Speaker 5: Thanks for having me John, all. 1005 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,280 Speaker 2: Right, I feel like we're in a really revolutionary moment, 1006 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 2: Like after years of all getting fat and lazy and 1007 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 2: complacent and not exercising, it feels like we're on the 1008 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 2: edge of a health revolution. 1009 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: Am I overthinking this? 1010 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 8: No? 1011 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:49,399 Speaker 1: I think you're right. 1012 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 10: That's what I've been saying to people too over the. 1013 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 5: Last few weeks and a few months. 1014 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 10: I think this is really just common sense, you know, 1015 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,319 Speaker 10: to your point of the folks at lunch today and. 1016 00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,839 Speaker 5: Making America beautiful ful again. 1017 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 10: The way that I've been explaining it is, in order 1018 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 10: to fulfill the mandate of making America great again, we 1019 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,719 Speaker 10: first have to make America physically and mentally healthy, right, 1020 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,759 Speaker 10: and so that can't happen without this make America Healthy 1021 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,319 Speaker 10: Again agenda. And really it just goes back to the 1022 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 10: brilliance of the Trump team embracing RFK and seeing the 1023 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 10: absolute win win there. And now you're seeing this kind 1024 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 10: of once in a lifetime I'll just call it bipartisan support. 1025 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,080 Speaker 10: You couldn't pick two more polar opposite politicians in Donald 1026 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 10: Trump and Gaven Newsom, yet they are together in this 1027 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,800 Speaker 10: agenda to make America healthy again. So there'll be different 1028 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 10: ways of going about it. But you cannot discredit the 1029 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 10: fact that this is a very rare moment and it's 1030 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 10: important because the reality you're facing seventy four percent of 1031 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 10: the country ob server weight, and critically you're looking at 1032 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 10: thirty eight percent of our youth that have pre diabetes. 1033 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,400 Speaker 10: So the future is not right when it comes to 1034 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 10: American health and well being. So this is something that 1035 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 10: is absolutely nonsense, needs to get done, and I do 1036 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 10: think we're going to see some change pretty quick, so 1037 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 10: hopefully we'll start to see the impact of that. It's necessary, 1038 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 10: to say the least, and it's a very rare time 1039 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 10: in history when everyone sort of seems to be on 1040 00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:17,399 Speaker 10: the same page about this. 1041 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,200 Speaker 2: Somehow managed to pull health above the partisan divide, and 1042 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 2: that is such an amazing moment because it's been stuck 1043 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,760 Speaker 2: in the partisan divide for about two three decades. 1044 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,520 Speaker 1: Now. You mentioned Gavin Newsim, we got about a minute left. 1045 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 1: Tell us what he did. 1046 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 2: Over the weekend to embrace one of RFK Junior's key 1047 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 2: key components of this. 1048 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 5: Yep, so plain and simple. 1049 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 10: I mean, I'm not going to go through the whole bill, 1050 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 10: but he is just getting behind removing processed foods and 1051 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 10: dies from the food specifically in things like children's lunch programs. 1052 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 5: Right, So when you. 1053 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 10: Look at the lunch programs, you've got about fifty eight 1054 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 10: percent of Californians children are on this program, about fifty 1055 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 10: percent of children across the country, it's twenty eight million 1056 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 10: children are on school lunch programs. It's one of the 1057 00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 10: easiest ways that we can really implement this agenda, and 1058 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:01,720 Speaker 10: I think you're going to see a lot of movement 1059 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,360 Speaker 10: from RFK focusing on children. 1060 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 5: How do we get to the. 1061 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,919 Speaker 10: Root of that, Well, the government directly funds this SNAP program, right, 1062 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 10: so that's something that we can impact right away. Also 1063 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 10: doing things like removing soda from the SNAP program so 1064 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 10: that that can't be it. Right now, it's the number 1065 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 10: one purchased item with food stamps and assistance programs is soda. 1066 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,279 Speaker 10: So I think those things are going to be the 1067 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 10: easier fixes. 1068 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 5: Behind that, which is great. 1069 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 10: And like I said, I mean, I think this is 1070 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 10: one of the only times you're going to see the 1071 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:31,280 Speaker 10: Trump team. 1072 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 5: And News on the same page. 1073 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Colorado Governor paulus also jumping in and praising 1074 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:36,359 Speaker 2: our FKA Junior. 1075 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,799 Speaker 1: It's a really remarkable moment.
