00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: that matter. Raps own Ben.

00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,040

Speaker 1: America's Voice Live starts now. Welcome to America's Voice Live.

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: I'm Steve Gurer, coming to you live today from Washington,

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: d C. A special edition of the program. It's Tuesday,

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: May the twenty seventh. That's because the day's top stories

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: first up. New developments in regard to Joe Biden's mental

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 1: decline now indicates that the former present was experiencing lapses

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: in memory and cognitive ability all the way back in

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Surely, left leaning sources will try to deflect

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: these claims, but we want to get to the bottom

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: of this year. On AVL, we'll have John Solomon into

21
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: discuss and then the third week of the Diddy trial

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: is underway and the new developments allege a myriad of

23
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: accusations against mister Combs. We'll have the details on the

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: latest updates in the trial, as well as an expert

25
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: to discuss further. We will talk about the Big Beautiful

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: Bill and what it means, not only for the economy,

27
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: for everyday Americans. All of this coming your way, starting

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: right now. Just last week, the House of Representatives passed

29
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill two fifteen to two fourteen.

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: Very close, but it passed. The Big Beautiful Bill is

31
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: a sweeping, multi trillion dollar piece of legislation that advances

32
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: President Trump's agenda on multiple issues, including taxes, immigration, energy, defense,

33
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: and the current national debt. A sticking point for many.

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Many Republicans are concerned with the levels of spending that

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: the federal government already has, including the MAGA supporting Senator

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin Ron Johnson. But Brother Trump and his administration

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: had repeatedly said that this bill, along with others in

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: the future, will ultimately make the American economy boom like

39
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: never before. From cutting federal government spending and raising the

40
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: debt ceiling, to further securing the border. This bill could

41
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: be the key to the future of America. Here with

42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: me to discuss this as the Congressman from North Carolina eight,

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: Mark Harris kngres's been nice to have you here on

44
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: the program. First of all, thank you for being here.

45
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend. This

46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: is a concern thanks to the spending here. It's great

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: to be good good. I'm glad you're here. I mean,

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about here. It got through two

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: fifteen to two fourteen. But you know, Ron Johnson isn't

50
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 1: the only one looking at this bill going whoa. It's

51
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: a lot of spending the way he projects it, and

52
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: the government counting office is two trillion dollars of additional

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: debt every year for the next ten years. That's twenty

54
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: trillion dollars in more debt pot up, and at some

55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: point that dam bursts. I mean, we saw what happened

56
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: in places like Greece and Portugal. Debt crises often are

57
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: very painful, austerity measures and everything else come to bear

58
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: on the people. We don't want that in America. How

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: do we get this under control?

60
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, Steve I really think Ron Johnson

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 4: is saying some really good things, and I think that

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 4: it's going to be important for the Senate to look

63
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 4: at this bill. We want to make sure that they

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 4: continue President Trump's agenda. We want to make sure that

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 4: this bill passes. But this is one time that frankly,

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 4: there were a lot of concerns in the House of Representatives.

67
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: We knew that it needed to go forward, and we

68
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: knew that we needed to step up the Trump tax cuts.

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: Getting those through are important, But this is a generational

70
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 4: moment that we have when through budget reconciliation, with just

71
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 4: fifty one votes in the Senate, we're going to be

72
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: able to move this thing through. And I think it's

73
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: going to be very important for us to watch what

74
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 4: happens there, and I for one am hoping that they're

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: going to be able to improve upon the bill that

76
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: we sent over. There are a lot of wins in

77
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: this bill, a lot of winds, very important things that

78
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: have gotten done all the way from taking the Trump

79
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: tax cuts out further, to defunding Planned Parenthood, to building

80
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: the border wall, to making sure we have more ice agents,

81
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: making sure we've got more beds for this deportation that's

82
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: taking place. All of these things are important and it

83
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 4: needed to pass. But you're right, we've got to get

84
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: our spending under control. We've set it time and again.

85
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 4: We don't have a revenue problem in government in.

86
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 1: The federal government.

87
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: We have a spending problem, and it's important for us

88
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: to continue to reform some things. Some things got in

89
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: the conversation. We had discussion on reforming Medicaid, we had

90
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 4: discussion and reforming snap all of those things that were

91
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 4: part of the conversations. The Senate has an opportunity to

92
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: look at it deeply and see what adjustments might need

93
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: to be made. Send it back, and I'm convinced with

94
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 4: the Senate, if they're more conservative, we're going to be

95
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 4: able to pass.

96
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: It in the House. Now. One of the things you're

97
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: in district today you mentioned before we came on today,

98
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: and I've been hearing from people all over this country

99
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: that are concerned. People that voted for Donald Trump, people

100
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: that voted for Republicans in both the House and the

101
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: Senate to give a majority in both. They're concerned. Here's

102
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: something that keeps coming up. I'd like to know what

103
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: you're hearing in your district, and that is no votes

104
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: on DOGE cuts at all. And the people that are

105
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: complaining about this say, look, we voted seventy seven and

106
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: a half million of us we want spending cuts. Doze

107
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: has come along and yet no votes to make permanent

108
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: some of these DOZE cuts. What would you say to

109
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: the people that are concerned about this, Well, I think it's.

110
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 4: A timing issue on that as much as anything with

111
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 4: the dose cuts. We have been so focused on the

112
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: one big, beautiful bill and getting it through with this reconciliation.

113
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: As I said, this is a very important moment in time,

114
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 4: but it only takes fifty one votes the reconciliation to

115
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 4: get it through the Senate. That's going to be important.

116
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 4: We had to get this work done. There will be

117
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 4: some decision packages I continue to be told that are

118
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 4: going to be coming to us from the White House

119
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 4: once we get through this process, and as those recision

120
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 4: bills come, we're going to be able to claw back

121
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: some of that spending that does identified. So yes, that

122
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: is part of the equation, part of the work that's ongoing.

123
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: But I do think there's going to be some specific

124
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 4: recision packages. I certainly hope they're going to be that

125
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 4: are going to be able to help us make those

126
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: cuts that those identified and the waste, fraud and abuse

127
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: that's been taking.

128
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: Place, that's very concerning the people obviously, And look, it's

129
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: time that we get these things under control. It's time

130
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: that we get to spending on the control. We've heard

131
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: of it my whole life. My whole life. I've heard

132
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: people talk about, well, we've got to reduce spending, and

133
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: somehow it always creeps up. Congressman, it always comes back,

134
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: and and people, I think are tired of it. They

135
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: want to see action. Now. Having said that, you talk

136
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: about the Senate, it's not just Ron Johnson, I think

137
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: more concerning our people like Rand Paul or whatsoever left

138
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: of Mitch McConnell, which I'm not sure in any given day,

139
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: but these are potentially no votes. You can lose three

140
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: and JD. Vans can still cast the deciding in tie

141
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: breaking vote. Do you think you're going to get it through?

142
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: I believe we will.

143
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 4: I mean the conversations that I've had and from it

144
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 4: with a number of different folks in the Senate is

145
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: they want to see this pass. They know it's important,

146
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 4: and in fact, conversations that I've had have been very

147
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: good in the sense that they are for making the

148
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 4: tags cuts permanent, but they also understand that we can't

149
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 4: just grow our way out of this debt we're in.

150
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: And that's the main point that we've been trying to speak.

151
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: We want to grow the economy. The things we're doing

152
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 4: are going to be extremely important. But President's agenda is

153
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: going to grow the economy. But we're going to have

154
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 4: to put in place with that growth the spending cuts

155
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 4: in order to really bend the curve on this national debt.

156
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, that's got to

157
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: happen because, just as you said in your lead into

158
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: this segment, all of the downside of what would have

159
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: happened if we don't get it under control is not

160
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 4: what the Americans signed.

161
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: Up for, absolutely true. Let me ask you about some

162
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: other things. Donald Trump has based much of his administration

163
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: his campaign on campaign on peace through Strength. He just

164
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: returned from Saudi Arabia, UAE and Cutter, where the message

165
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: was clear, peace through strength, trying to bring peace to

166
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the Middle East, peace to Gaza, and of course an

167
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: ongoing eup to bring peace between Russia and Ukraine. The

168
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: President obviously very upset. I was with him at both

169
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: West Point on Saturday and again at Arlington National Cemetery yesterday,

170
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: and his message to Vladimir Putin yesterday with sharp This

171
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: comes after a rocket and drone attack on Kiev, and

172
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: it seems that he's not getting through it to Vladimir

173
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: Puttin and he said the same thing as Zelensky's not

174
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: getting it right either. A lot of frustration, it seems

175
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: on the President's part. And now he says to put In,

176
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: you're playing with fire. It sounds like a direct threat

177
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: to Vladimir Puttin. Sanctions could be in the works. What

178
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: do you think is happening right now? What are you hearing? Well?

179
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 4: I do think the President is extremely frustrated, as you say,

180
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 4: with Vladimir Putin and his response, and he's not overly

181
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 4: overjoyed with some of the things that Zelensky has been

182
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: putting out in his statements as well. But I think

183
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 4: the President has made clear he did it in the

184
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 4: Middle East. I think he's going to begin to work

185
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: with it in this whole Russia U. Traine situation that

186
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 4: is not only bringing peace through strength from our strength

187
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: as a nation militarily, but he is moving in a

188
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: direction that has not oftentimes been taken is using our

189
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 4: economic strength as a powerhouse in this country in order

190
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 4: to bring that leverage to bear on the situation. So

191
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: I think if you're going to continue to see that,

192
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 4: I think he is again declaring piece through strength. I

193
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: think as a leader, he has got the respect of

194
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 4: the world at this point, and I think that's going

195
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 4: to be very important as we move forward, and I

196
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 4: believe he'll get him to the table. I know he's

197
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 4: frustrating and in fact probably bordering on angry at what

198
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: Putin is doing because he's saying one thing and then

199
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: he's doing something different, which a lot of folks recognizes.

200
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 4: Nothing new for Vladimir Putin, but I think the President

201
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 4: is going to.

202
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: Call him out only Yeah. The concern being that if

203
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: the President issues sanctions against Russia, it tightens the tap

204
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: on oil globally, it can push oil prices higher, therefore

205
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: energy prices higher, and of course, going to twenty twenty six,

206
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: if you have higher gas prices and energy prices, it

207
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: would not bode well for the Republicans. Are for Donald

208
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Frum the midterms said that if I get to weigh

209
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: in on this, Congressman because one of your colleagues across

210
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: the aisle seems to think that she's going to be

211
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: the chair of the Oversight Committee, that being Jasmine Crockett,

212
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: who says she will be chair of the Oversight Committee

213
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: and they'll be going after Donald Trump with some gusto,

214
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: shall we say, Jasmine Crockett, I think for Republicans is

215
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: the best thing on a daily basis for the things

216
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: that she says and the way she conducts herself. But

217
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: if the Republicans don't do well in the midterms, what

218
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: if she did have a chairmanship? How frightening is that?

219
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 4: Well, extremely frightening, And I think that is the wake

220
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: up call as if Republicans needed a wake up call. Listen,

221
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 4: we've got to make sure that we understand that every

222
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: election matters. We put all of our eggs in twenty

223
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 4: twenty four, and look what happened. We worked hard, We

224
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: saw the nation rise up seventy seven million Americans say look, we're.

225
00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: Going to give you the truck.

226
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 4: We're going to give you a Republican control House, We're

227
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 4: going to give you a Republican controlled Senate, and we're

228
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: going to put Donald J. Trump back in the White House.

229
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 4: That was a critical election to at least get us

230
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 4: where we are today. And by the way, while there's

231
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 4: a lot of things about the one big, beautiful Bill

232
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: that are far from perfect, the reality is when is

233
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 4: the last time that you've ever heard of Congress cutting

234
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 4: any spending? And in granted it's not been what we

235
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 4: want it to be so far, but the reality is

236
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: they're bigger cuts than probably in the last fifty years

237
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 4: that we've seen Congress actually bring. So I say that

238
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 4: in light of the fact that as we move into

239
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 4: the midterms, everybody's got to understand what we are seeing,

240
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 4: from AOC being the face of the party to Jasmine

241
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 4: Crockett being a chairperson of oversight, as she is alluding

242
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 4: to listen, it is a wake up call for all

243
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 4: of us to not become slack. We've got to stay engaged,

244
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 4: we've got to stay involved, and we've got to keep

245
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: President Trump's agenda moving forward.

246
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: What we'd like to see is spending levels go back

247
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: to twenty and nineteen prior to all to COVID spending

248
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: it because what happened is they ratcheted up the spelling.

249
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: They being people on all sides in many ways that

250
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: we can pull it back now it's not COVID anymore.

251
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: Thank god. Congres has been a great conversation. Always enjoy

252
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: speaking to you. Come back anytime, Steve. It's always a

253
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: pleasure to be with you. Hope you have a great day.

254
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, you too. There you go, Congresson. Mark

255
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: Harris from North Carolina. Now coming up after the Break

256
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper's book, Yeah, Jake Tapper's self righteous book, Biden's decline,

257
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: according to the book, started well before twenty twenty. As

258
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: if we didn't know that. It's a revelation to Jake,

259
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: not to us more after the break norm This is

260
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: not going to surprise you at all. Joe Biden's apparently

261
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: a lot worse for a lot longer than has ever

262
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: been discussed previously except on the shows like this one.

263
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: Because of course we're like, we're saying, look at that,

264
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: that's not normal. He can't act that when he's falling

265
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: off from stationary bicycles and so forth. But according to

266
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: this new book, Jake Tapper's book Original Sid, they've documented

267
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: Biden's medical and physical decline beginning back in twenty fifteen.

268
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: Also in recordings of discussions with Joe Biden's ghostwriter in

269
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, he was deteriorating. Then apparently after his son

270
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: Bo died, he just went to pieces join me now

271
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: as the host of Justin News, no Noise right here

272
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: on this network, John Solomon, John, nice to see you

273
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: here today. And look, twenty five years ago, I left, Yeah,

274
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: I left the news media twenty five years ago. I

275
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: had had enough. I thought they were dishonest, I thought

276
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: they were shallow. What Jake Tapper has done here is

277
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: a remarkable excavation, going even deeper into embarrassment. Look, he

278
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: covered this up. He was among those that would denigrate

279
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: people like you or I. If we questioned Joe Biden's

280
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: ability to do the job, he defended it, insulated it.

281
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: And then he comes out writes a book. Oh my gosh,

282
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, he was deteriorating. It's not news to you

283
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: and I, John, but apparently he's selling books. I mean,

284
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of embarrassing to journalists everywhere. If he can

285
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: even be considered a journalist.

286
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 5: What do you say, Well, listen, he says that he's

287
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 5: unraveling the cover up of that Joe Biden was really bad.

288
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four.

289
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 5: But by trying to focus people on that and saying

290
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 5: that the original sin was that people let him run

291
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty four, he's covering up the real proof

292
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 5: in his book that the original sin actually went back

293
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 5: to twenty twenty, that Joe Biden was already in a

294
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 5: state of decline when he ran in twenty twenty.

295
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: That basement campaign was an.

296
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 5: Effort to mass that you can put the pieces together

297
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 5: from the things that you just said. You could see

298
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 5: him disassembling in his interview with his ghostwriter in twenty seventeen.

299
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 5: In twenty twenty, for some media interviews, they were using

300
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 5: a telepropter. What politician needs a telepropter to do an

301
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 5: impromptu interview? You could clearly see that Joe Biden was there,

302
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 5: And if Jake Tapper was really being honest, he'd say

303
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 5: the original sin was letting Joe Biden run in twenty twenty,

304
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 5: not trying to make it what everyone now agrees the

305
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four debacle of the debate was. But inside

306
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 5: his book there's the proof that actually undercuts the theory

307
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 5: of his book.

308
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: You know the real crime here, John, As far as

309
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, are people like Jake Tapper impersonating journalists. That's

310
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: the real crime here and passing it off as fact.

311
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: And it's not just Jake Tapper, it's Chuck Todd, It's

312
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: Scott Pelly who gave a vicious speech at wake Forest

313
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: over the weekend. You know, when I grew up, sixty

314
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: minutes was the gold standard. I mean, he would watch

315
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: sixty minutes on Sunday night. And I see Scott Pelly

316
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: go out there and say basically declare himself and journalists

317
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: of victim that they're under attack. I'm like, whatever that

318
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: has happened here with this book and anything else, is

319
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: it not self inflicted? These injuries?

320
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 5: It is, And it began with a lack of curiosity

321
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 5: in order to carry out their own political ideologies, which,

322
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 5: by the way, in earlier generations of journalism we resisted.

323
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: Everybody has an ideology. We know that.

324
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 5: But when you crossed into the mowsroom threshal, and you

325
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 5: cross that threshold into the newsroom, you agreed to put

326
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 5: those political sentiments aside why you did your reporting. But

327
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 5: the last decade to twenty years of that, maybe twenty

328
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 5: five years ago, that went away. And then to sustain

329
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 5: your beliefs, you suddenly give up your curiosity. You're just

330
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 5: not curious whether that laptop is real for a Hunter Budden.

331
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 5: You're not curious whether it's a little suspicious that Hillary

332
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 5: Clinton came up with the whole Rusher collusion thing. You're

333
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 5: not curious that Joe Biden needs the Easter Bunny to

334
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 5: show them out of the White House, but you're not

335
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 5: curious if he's mentally in trouble. I think that those

336
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 5: things are the downfall journalism. First the loss of neutrality.

337
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: Everyone's got a personal opinion, but you kept it out.

338
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 5: And then the lack of curiosity, and that allowed these

339
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 5: false storylines that we've been through the last decade, particularly

340
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 5: the era of Trump, to just sustain themselves to the

341
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 5: great detrimentum. Nobody trust news media anymore, not the traditional media.

342
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 2: They don't.

343
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 5: They trust places like Real America's Voice.

344
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and I look at people like Walter Cronkite,

345
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace. Well, let's event. They were all Democrats, we

346
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: know that, but they were honest about the job they did.

347
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace would go out there and bust people into pieces.

348
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: He didn't care Republican or Democrat. He wanted the truth

349
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: didn't matter, right, And that's that's the real test for me.

350
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: So if what we're saying here is go back to

351
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper's book for a moment here, everything that I

352
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: think is in there from twenty to fifteen is right.

353
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: When Bo Biden died, Joe Biden began to erode, for

354
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: lack of a better word, and because of that, by

355
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: the time he got to twenty twenty, he was diminished.

356
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: That's why he was kept in the basement. That's why

357
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: they kept him out of you know, interviews, That's why

358
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: they did certain things and teleprompters like you said. So

359
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: the real question now is if he wasn't in charge

360
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: of his faculties, then how did he run an administration?

361
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: And how suspect is that auto pen who was really

362
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: pulling the trigger?

363
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: It was a really important question.

364
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 5: I suspect that Joe Biden still made a lot of

365
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 5: the decisions in his presidency, and that's probably why his

366
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 5: presidency was such a failure. All throughout his career, he

367
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 5: was on the wrong side of so many issues. So

368
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 5: I think the fact that his track record of making

369
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 5: bad decisions carrying into his president says he probably still making.

370
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 2: A lot of decisions.

371
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 5: But at two o'clock in the morning, could you count

372
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 5: on him in case of a war thing? Could he

373
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 5: count on him at the end to make the right

374
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 5: personal decisions? I think not based on what we're learning,

375
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 5: and that is at an enormous scandal. The American people's

376
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 5: will was usurped by people who hid the fact that

377
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 5: maybe Joe Biden wasn't there all the time. For all

378
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 5: those who sustained that fall story inside an administration, there

379
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 5: should be some legal culpability. And for all of those

380
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 5: in the profession that decided to look the other way

381
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 5: or pretend otherwise, there should be a corporate a culpability.

382
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 5: There should be people fleeing those guys and coming to

383
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 5: real America's voice or just the news.

384
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it reminds me. There was a commercial

385
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: by Hillary Clinton. If the phone rings at three in

386
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: the morning, could you want to answer it? I want

387
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: somebody to answer the phone, somebody who's capable and competent. Right,

388
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: A couple of things before I let you go. Though

389
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: we've been talking a lot these days about the big

390
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: beautiful Bill, of course, a couple of things in there

391
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: that I don't think people are aware of. The Rains Act.

392
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: You just mentioned to me a moment ago, there's a

393
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: tax on evs and hybrids. What can you telling about

394
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: the Rains Act? Person? Well, what is it? Why is

395
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: it important?

396
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 5: It is the ultimate regulatory rollback. It makes regulations justify

397
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 5: their makes regulators justify their regulations on multiple fronts before

398
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 5: they can be enacted. In other words, did Congress really

399
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 5: authorize us? What is the actual cost? Does the cost

400
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 5: out way the benefits? It is an enormous common sense

401
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 5: check against the regulatory state that right now you don't

402
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 5: have to worry about. Donald Trump's not into overregulating, but

403
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 5: a future Democrat president will now run.

404
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: Into this if this law has passed.

405
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 5: It's designed to put a check on the regulatory state

406
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 5: based on the recent court rulings of the last few years.

407
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 5: And Jim Jordan worked on this, got it in the

408
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 5: Big Beautiful Bill, and it was one of the last

409
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 5: additions before it went to the Senate. It could be

410
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 5: a game changer for cutting down the regulatory state.

411
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: The gas are the.

412
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 5: Tax on electric vehicles and hybrids. There people who bought

413
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 5: those aren't buying as much gas. So this is your

414
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 5: way of getting your to pay gas tax without buying gas.

415
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 5: We're going to tax you. I think it's a concerning

416
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 5: thing though, because it really is. It can It is

417
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 5: really a value added tax. It's a sales tax on cars.

418
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 5: It's implemented every year. I haven't seen something like this

419
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 5: in Congress before. I hope it's not a trend.

420
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: Now. The big goal is to put these little boxes

421
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: in your car so they can charge every mile you drive,

422
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: and there they call it a road tax. I have

423
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: a real plan here, John, Appreciate it, John, John Solomon,

424
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 1: justinnews dot com. You can always find out more, sir,

425
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: Thank you as always good to be with you. There

426
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: you have it, John Solomon. Everybody coming up after the break,

427
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: big names Obama, j Lo and more, dragged into ditties,

428
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: high stake sex, trafficking. It's getting ugly out there. Details

429
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: coming up. I'm just going to apologize right now. I mean,

430
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: we have done our best to avoid this next story

431
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: for the most part of the last many weeks. But

432
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: at some point it is so beyond the pale what's happening,

433
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: you just can't not report it anymore. When it comes

434
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: to human trafficking and abusing people, well, sometimes you have

435
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: reported it is week three now the Sean Diddy Coombs

436
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: explosive trial and sex trafficking, racketeering charges, rico charges. It's

437
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: been drawing national attention as shocking and I mean shocking testament.

438
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: We can't even discuss it all here on this program.

439
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: Several big name celebrities, including Usher, Jennifer Lopez, and former

440
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: President Barack Obama, their names have come up. Biggie Smalls

441
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: has been referencing Core too. The trial which kicked off

442
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: with jeria selection on the fifth of May and opening

443
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: arguments were on the twelfth of May, and it just

444
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: continues on. Tawdrey doesn't even begin to cover it. Joining

445
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: now to discuss this as the former Assistant Secretary of

446
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: Defense and senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Kulli Stimpson,

447
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: who is no more impressed to have to research this

448
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: than I am. But Cully, here's the thing. It's an

449
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: underbelly of the entertainment industry and we need to expose it.

450
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I had to use that word, but that's

451
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: what we really need to do. These people were monsters,

452
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: These people were animals, Cully. I mean, I don't know

453
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: how else to put it. And you know, you have

454
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: to put a spotlight on it. I mean, sunshine is

455
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: sanitation here, and clearly that we need some sanitation here.

456
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: Worduld like to begin, well.

457
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 6: Why would we be surprised that rap singers who glorify misogyny,

458
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 6: treat women like dirt, who glorify gun violence and thuggery,

459
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 6: are actually involved in that themselves. And he's charged with

460
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 6: a RICO of racketeering conspiracy trial. His organization was the

461
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 6: funnel through which all of these freak offs and sex

462
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 6: parties lasted for years. We've all seen the video of

463
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 6: him beating Cassie Ventura in the lobby of that hotel,

464
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 6: but it is much worse than that, Steve, And so

465
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 6: it's a gritty, grimy, nasty trial. Of course, he's presumed innocimp.

466
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 6: It's not looking good for him.

467
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: So human trafficking, I think that that's the thing. Look,

468
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: there have been a lot of movies and reports and

469
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: documentaries about human trafficking in the last few years, really

470
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: bringing into people's consciousness of how bad it is. In

471
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: America is about the worst place for a lot of

472
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: these things. Because Americans have money, they'll buy people to use.

473
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: Those people however they see fits so exposing this is

474
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: incredibly important. So the human trafficking portion, to me, I

475
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: think is key to convicting Diddy. Is it going to happen?

476
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: Is that element of this crime? Do you see? Is

477
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: the prosecution making its case?

478
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, And there's a lot of evidence to make that case.

479
00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 6: And as you know, I used to be a pros

480
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 6: cokeuter doing homicides and violent sex crimes. And here under

481
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 6: the Rico theory, you can bring in all sorts of

482
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 6: evidence that you wouldn't be able to bring in another trial,

483
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 6: like admissions of a co conspirator, other hearsay evidence. But

484
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 6: here the gravimen of the government's case is this.

485
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: He used his.

486
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 6: Companies and his fame and fortune to set up sex

487
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 6: parties and brought in women from out of state and

488
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 6: male sex prostitutes to have them have sex, gave them drugs,

489
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 6: force drugs on them, and then silenced them through physical force,

490
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 6: beatings and all the rest of it, and then paid

491
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 6: people off when they threatened to narc And then he

492
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 6: also videotaped a lot of this stuff and used that

493
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 6: as blackmail while he was pleasuring himself while they were

494
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 6: doing these actions. It's disgusting, it's an outgrowth of a

495
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 6: lot of the lyrics that I've read that he's done

496
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 6: in his songs. But this is real life, Steve, and

497
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 6: so this is the real deal. I suspect if they're

498
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 6: women on that jury, and I don't know what the

499
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 6: breakdown of the jury is, there's gonna come a point

500
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 6: where they're just gonna say, no, Moss, They're done with this.

501
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. So if you were going to handicap this, SA

502
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: and look, you've been a prosecutor. There were cases I'm

503
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: sure you thought you were gonna win, you didn't. In

504
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,959
Speaker 1: cases you weren't sure about that, you did. What are

505
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: the tea leaves? And what's your your gut tell you here, Kelly, He's.

506
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 6: Going to get convicted of something. I don't know how much.

507
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 6: The defense is the obvious defense that this was all

508
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 6: people who engaged in consensual behavior. They loved being around

509
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 6: the didy uh and the sort of buzz that he represented,

510
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 6: and this was all consensual. But there comes a point

511
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 6: when you beat the crap out of somebody, and you

512
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 6: kick people and you drug them and you use videotapes

513
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 6: where you cross the line from consentual weird sex stuff

514
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 6: to non consensual crimes, and I think he's going to

515
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 6: get convicted of something, if not a lot of things.

516
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: Kelly Stimpson from the Heritage Foundation. I always appreciate your

517
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: input sir, Thank you very much. Thanks Steve. We'll see

518
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: how this plays out. Of course, we'll have calling back

519
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: when we get the results of that trial as it

520
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: drags on. Tax Day may have passed, but for millions

521
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: of Americans, the real trouble it's just beginning. If you

522
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: miss the April fifteen deadline or still low back taxes,

523
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: the RS is ramping up enforcement every day. The u

524

Speaker 1: WAIT will only make things worse. With over five thousand

525

Speaker 1: new tax leads filed every single day in tools like

526
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: property seizures, bank levies, wage garnments, the IRS is applying

527
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: pressure at levels we haven't seen in years. Increased administrative

528
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: scrutiny means collections are moving fast. The good news there's

529
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: still time for Tax Network USA to help self employed

Speaker 1: That's straight ahead, all right. Well, we're looking at big

542
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: changes that could impact what we're doing here in the

543

00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: up here. Don't worry, guys, I'm gonna catch up. I

546
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: know I can't see it. Join me from the Heritage Foundation, Richard.

547
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: How are you today? I've lost my place here. I

548
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: don't care about any of this now. Good to have

549
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: you here. Greatly appreciate it. You know, I'm in a

550
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: new studio. These things happen. I'm going to bust my

551
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: way through it. It was a pleasure, always a pleasure,

552
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: all right. So let's get started here. I'm what you're

553
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: talking about. The real trouble beginning is I'm going to

554
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: get this here. I'm going to fix this. Stick with

555
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: me one second. There you go, one second, folks, I apologize.

556
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: These things happen, all right, yeah, all right. So let's

557
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: talk about the tariffs on the European Union. Fifty percent,

558
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 1: that's what Donald Trump was threatened to impose, right, fifty percent.

559
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's actually going to happen, right,

560
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: but he puts it out there. The European Union panics,

561
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: as they should, and usually they cave in. That's what

562
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: we've seen from the other folks so far. And what

563
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: do you think is going to happen here? Is you're

564
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: really going to do it? And he's pushed it back.

565
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: I think to July. Now, what do you think?

566
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: Oh, I think you're right.

567
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 3: I look, I think they were already starting the cave.

568
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: You know. So they'd been in negotiations with.

569
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 3: The president off the first round of tariffs, and now

570
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: Trump had come out and said that there was no progress,

571
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 3: there was, you know, lots of daylight, and that he

572
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,959
Speaker 3: was just going to put the fifty percent tariffs on.

573
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: The truth is, under the hood, there's actually been a

574
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 3: lot of progress on a lot of things going on.

575
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 3: So I think he said that to kind of put

576
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: a fire under them to get them to really move,

577
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 3: and of course the new terrorf threat really got them

578
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 3: to move. So he'd originally said, look, tarifs are coming

579
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 3: in July first, I mean June first. Rather, now he's

580
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 3: moved them to July ninth because they came to the

581
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: negotiating table and you know, there's a whole mess of

582
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: regulations they put on our products that prevent our experts

583
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 3: from getting there.

584
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: They're also trying.

585
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 3: To put a digital services tax on the things that

586
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 3: we actually run a trade surplus in. So I think

587
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 3: these are all things that one of IP violations that

588
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 3: are on the table to negotiate that I think they're

589
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: actually going to make some progress on in part because

590
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 3: of these new threats.

591
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you about this, because there are

592
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: several major trading partners that are incredibly important. You've got

593
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: the EU, China of course, India of course, but Canada

594
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: and Mexico here close to home. Canada's our biggest trading

595
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: partner right on many things, and I don't think we've

596
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: worked out a deal with Canada either. So my question

597
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: is where are we on these tasks. If we don't

598
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: work something out with Canada, the pressure will ramp up

599
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: on Mark Karney. Mark Karney will threaten, but they don't

600
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: have the financial ability to go toe to toe of

601
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: the United States, nobody does. What does it mean for

602
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: Canada going forward?

603
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 7: Oh?

604
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely?

605
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 3: Well, you know, one of the disturbing things here is

606
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: that I think Carney's kind of secret playbook on this

607
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 3: is the cozy up to China of all people. You know,

608
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: part of what's been going on here is the Canadians

609
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 3: that wanted to build a pipeline east west so that

610
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: they could get their crude oil not south into US refineries,

611
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: but west out to their ports to go to China.

612
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: And that's part of what's the negotiation here. So I

613
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: think you're right they don't have the wherewithal Neither is Mexico.

614
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 3: Both have already caved a lot when it comes to

615
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: border security and stopping fetanol from coming into the Ed States.

616
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 3: Those are, of course good things.

617
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: But I think you're right though.

618
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 3: Look, tariffs have a cause harm on both sides of

619
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 3: the deal, and it's important we actually get deals and

620
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 3: we actually get real victories here.

621
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: But here's my question the negotiation. Yeah, yeah, here's my question.

622
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: Because yea, Mark Karney has this secret Deal, pipeline so

623
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: and so forth. Mark Corney is out there saying that

624
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: he wants to follow the Paris Accords and every other

625
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: accord that's ever come down on the Green New Deal,

626
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: the Bunny huggers and the tree lovers and all of

627
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: these Green New dealers. He wants that zero. If he

628
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: wants that zero four Canada, it's going to be a disaster.

629
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: And talk about secret plans. I've got this. I've got

630
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: this theory about Donald Trump. And maybe it's crazy, Richard,

631
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: but about y'all bounce it OFFI you Donald Trump started

632
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: calling Canada the fifty first state to create that Canadian

633
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: nationalism and get Karney elected, because we know if Arney

634
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: got elected, Alberta would say, we don't want anything to

635
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: do with this. The day after the election, Danielle Smith,

636
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: the Premier of Alberta, said they will hold a referendum

637
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six next year if they get the

638
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: signatures for Alberta to leave Canada. It may have seemed

639
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: crazy for Trump to call it the fifty first state,

640
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: but if Alberta leaves Canada and as an alliance with

641
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: the United States, we win, they lose, and Donald Trump

642
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: comes out looking like a genius.

643
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: Well, I think you might be right about that. And

644
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 3: it's not just Alberta, right, there's a few other provinces

645
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 3: out there that are conservative that of energy resources, that

646
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 3: are tired of exactly what you're talking about, the green

647
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 3: communism that Carneian people like him represent in the Canadian government.

648
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: And you know, beyond that, Trump is trying to stir

649
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: up these movements globally, trying to get people who believe

650
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 3: in Western values, people who actually believe in free societies

651
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: and free markets, and get them out from under the

652
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 3: clutches of this global woke of greenism that Carneia is

653
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 3: absolutely a poster drop for. So you might be very

654
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 3: much on something that.

655
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Donald Trump, crazy as a fox is

656
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: what I think. In this win, shake Alberta lose, and

657
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: then you can put in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and if British

658
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: Columbia wants to play ball, they can come along too. Richard,

659
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: greatly appreciate you being here, sir, Thank you, thank you

660
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: so much. There you have it. Right after the break,

661
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: More America's voice lives, So don't go anywhere. Look, the

662
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: biggest story continues to be the big beautiful bill. It

663
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: is the number one thing people are talking about. It

664
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: has the most impact potentially going forward. And one of

665
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: the key aspects covered in this bill has to do

666
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: with no taxation on overtime tips and interest in some

667
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: auto loans of the cars and manufacturing in the United States. Furthermore,

668
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: the bill proposes lower taxes for businesses by allowing them

669
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: to deduct up to twenty three percent of items or

670
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: services essential for the production of products, which invokes business

671
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: owners to further develop and upgrade their headquarters for increased productivity.

672
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: Capital investment is what we're talking about here. President Trump

673
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: and his team might have won the floor, but the

674
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: battle is still ongoing as now they must convince the

675
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: Senate to get on board. And there's a lot of

676
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: spending questions there. We've heard Ron Johnson from Wisconsin say

677
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: he's a no. Ran Paul is a no. Mitch McConnell,

678
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: whatever state he is in, is apparently in though here

679
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: to discuss this with me as the economic strategist. Francis Stacy, Francis,

680
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: nice to see you.

681
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 7: Y's nice to be with you.

682
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: All right, So, look, the spending here is massive. Imagine

683
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: it's what is massive it would add two trillion dollars

684
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: for our debt each of the next ten years. So

685
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: says Ron Johnson, the very pro Trump senator from Wisconsin.

686
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: He says, he's to no, unlus. We can get some

687
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: things figured out. Why is it so hard to go

688
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: back to twenty nineteen spending levels? That's where we should be,

689
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: right pre COVID.

690
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 7: Yes, so COVID resets something. So what a lot of

691
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 7: people don't realize is that fiscal spending provided most of

692
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 7: the liquidity for the marketplace post COVID. Obviously, that monetary

693
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 7: policy added a ton to the balance sheet, and then

694
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 7: the Fed started tightening by raising interest rates, which reduces

695
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 7: liquidity eventually in the economy. And then they started tightening

696
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 7: up with the balance sheet, letting those bonds kind of

697
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 7: roll off the balance sheet. So what happened was fiscal

698
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 7: spending stepped in and it was the primary source of liquidity.

699
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 7: So we didn't get a recession after a huge amount

700
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 7: of tightening, you know, raising those interest rates drastically and

701
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 7: having them higher for longer. And one of the reasons

702
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 7: is because the fiscal spending stepped in and provided excess liquidity.

703
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 7: So the problem that we have is when government spending

704
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 7: is also you know, spending is taking on debt. There

705
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 7: is no debt in cash unless you're talking about coins.

706
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 7: Coins really are such a tiny percent of the of

707
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 7: the money supply, So all spending is debt. So what

708
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 7: happens is when you spend, you enlarge the system, and

709
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 7: you enlarge the liquidity, but you also enlarge the debt.

710
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 7: So one of the catch twenty twos of trying to

711
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 7: reduce spending is that now you have all of this

712
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 7: new debt to service, and so that's one of the

713
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 7: challenges of trying to get back to twenty nineteen.

714
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: Is there a way to do it? Is there a

715
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: way to cut spending? I mean, look, I thought at

716
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: one point that twenty five trillion dollars of debt was

717
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: the point of no return. Maybe it was, but we

718
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: continue to push on. At some point we face a

719
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: debt crisis. In Greece, when they had their debt crisis

720
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: a number of years ago, people that had more than

721
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: a million dollars in saving everything over a million. The

722
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: government took half half the money. And if you don't

723
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: think that could happen in America, you're kidding yourself. If

724
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: this government decides that people you've got too much. You know,

725
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: Johnny down the street doesn't have anything. He didn't save

726
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: any money, but you did. They're going to come after

727
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: your money, all of it potentially. I mean, this is

728
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: not some this is not some theory. This is what

729
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: governments do, including hours if necessary.

730
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 7: Wouldn't you say, oh, absolutely, I agree with you one

731
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 7: thousand percent. Ray Dalio has done the number crunching in

732
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 7: the math and he says, if we don't get our

733
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 7: deficit spending down to three or three and a half

734
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 7: percent of GDP, then we will fall off of that

735
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 7: proverbial debt clift. The reason that the United States hasn't

736
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 7: fallen off of a debt cliff when he has delineated

737
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 7: forty eight instances where other countries have is because we

738
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 7: have that special status is the world's reserve currency. Now

739
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 7: that's being a little bit threatened. And should we lose

740
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 7: the world's reserve currency, then modern monetary policy and modern

741
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 7: monetary theory and all of those things go out the

742
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 7: window because you don't have demand for the bond market.

743
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 7: And if you don't have demand in the bond market,

744
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 7: then nobody wants to fund something. And then that's when

745
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 7: you have.

746
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: Failed auction, right, one failed auction of bonds and everything changing.

747
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 7: That's right, everything changes, and you're right. So here's the

748
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 7: catch twenty two, and this is the problem to solve.

749
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 7: If you don't reduce spending, you increase the probability of

750
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 7: going off the debt cliff, because debt is onerous in

751
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 7: the sense that it grows and it compounds.

752
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: But if you do.

753
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 7: Reduce spending too drastically, you cut the liquidity in the

754
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 7: system them below the threshold of where debt can be serviced,

755
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 7: and you can force a credit crisis. So this is

756
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 7: the catch twenty two that we're in. And the ten

757
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 7: year is the thing that is kind of that Trump

758
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 7: is now watching very carefully. And that really is the

759
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 7: leverage that you know, other countries have on us. We

760
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 7: have all the trading leverage because America consumes thirty percent

761
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 7: of the world's you know, consumption, and those countries all

762
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 7: have surpluses of items that they need to sell to somebody,

763
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 7: and only we can absorb that. But their leverage really

764
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 7: is is to dump treasuries. They own thirty percent of

765
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 7: our treasuries and so that's the that's the fine line

766
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 7: that we have to walk with this bill.

767
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: Can we get to three or three and a half

768
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: percent of GDP? That's the question. I have listened to

769
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: what you've told me last question. Yeah.

770
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 7: Absolutely, and so Ray has done the math. Elon is

771
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 7: working to do that with DOGE. One of the very

772
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 7: interesting things about the math that Trump did for the

773
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 7: reciprocal tariffs on Liberation Day is that actually took the

774
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 7: numbers from last year of deficit to GDP and you know,

775
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 7: all things being equal, raise the revenue enough to get

776
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 7: us down to three and a half percent GDP, you know,

777
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 7: deficit to GDP, and so those tariffs aren't going to stick.

778
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 7: But that's what he was looking to do because that's

779
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 7: the only way to reverse engineer the math that he did.

780
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 7: So we know that that ten percent tariffs across the

781
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 7: board is really the floor on the tariff negotiations. Those

782
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 7: are the highest tariffs since nineteen thirty eight, and that

783
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 7: is tariff revenue that is going to come in. And

784
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 7: that's the only thing that justifies keeping the tax cuts

785
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 7: in place and potentially you know, doing these other tax cuts,

786
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 7: no tax on tips, et cetera. So yes, I think

787
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 7: we can get there, and I think we do have

788
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 7: to cut. We just can't cut drastically. We have to

789
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 7: do it very you know, we have to taper off slowly.

790
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: Francis, I hope you're right. I hope we can find

791
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: that three three and a half percent, because otherwise we're

792
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: in real big trouble. Not so much for me, are

793
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: you necessarily with our kids and grandkids. It'll be an

794
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: ugly transformation. Francis, station agreed, come back anytime. Thank you

795
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: so much. Thank you really appreciate it. Now she just

796
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit. In July, there's going to

797
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: be a global summit of bricks nations in Rio, the

798
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 1: block of emerging superpowers including China, Russia, Indian Iran, meeting

799
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 1: with the goal of displacing the US dollars the global currency.

800
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: It would be a disastrous called the Reo reset. Bricks

801
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: nations are pushing forward their plans. A global demand for

802
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: US dollars would decrease, bringing down the value of your

803
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: money in your savings, and it won't transition overnight. But

804
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: the real reset in July is a pivotal moment when

805
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: bricks objectives move decisively from theoretical possibilities toward inevitable reality.

806
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: Learn if diversifying your savings into gold is right for you.

818
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 1: Trump's Big Beautiful Bill will make it through the Senate?

819
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: We do it every day here to put a smile

820
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 1: on your face. What makes America wonderful? A lot of things,

821
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: but we want to remind you every day about how

822
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: great this country is. Today's story comes to us from Cookeville, Tennessee,

823
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: where a blind mother of five was able to overcome

824
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: her adversity with the help and support of her family

825
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: and staff. On her college campus. Amanda Juden started her

826
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: pursuit for higher education later in life, and motherhood and

827
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: the responsibility to attached to it forced her to put

828
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: those dreams on hold. Furthermore, she was diagnosed with a

829
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: dintive disease known as retinitis pigmatosa, which affected her eyesight

830
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: to the point where she became legally blind. Undeterred to

831
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: give up, jut and traveled to Colorado's Center for the

832
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 1: Blind to learn the skills necessary to navigate the cards

833
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: she had been dealt. After finishing the program, Jute enrolled

834
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: in Tennessee Tech, where she went for a degree in

835
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: organizational leadership and graduated with honors. To boot, dealing with

836
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,959
Speaker 1: a life changing disease is tough for anyone, so much

837
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: so that giving up is almost expected. But with the

838
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: help of the staff on campus and a manage Jutan's

839
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: determination and grit to persevere in the face of adversity. Well,

840
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: let's have an American values like determination. It supports the

841
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: notion of what makes America wonderful. Great story, and congratulations

842
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: to the college graduate. Here's the question of today. Do

843
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: you think President Trump's big, beautiful bill will make it

844
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: past the Senate. Well, Helen Harden writes this, I hope

845
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: so in pray, but no, I don't buddy ask you.

846
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: Sorry to say it, but with those anti government American politicians,

847
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: it will take some big cash payoffs. That is all

848
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: they understand. Tommy Stutsman, Hey, Tommy, maybe just maybe that way,

849
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: you're never wrong. Maybe just maybe he's always right. Sampole's

850
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: a third. I don't have a lot of faith in

851
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: our linguini spined senators, and neither do I. One more

852
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: Joe Hackle. Once the self important senators finish grand standing,

853
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: m maybe all right, we'll leave it there for today.
