Speaker 1: globals and the stories that matter. Rabs own, Ben Burkwom.

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,600

Speaker 1: America's Voice Live starts now.

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 3: And Welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Steve Gurer.

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, the seventeenth of December, in the year

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. It's because of the

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: day's top so I always think you're spending time with

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: me right here in Real America's Voice.

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: President Trump dramatically escalating pressure on Venezuela's socialist regime, ordering

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: a full blockade of oil tankers and or leaving the country.

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I'll bring on a national security analyst to give insight

22
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: as to what that means.

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: For the future.

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: Also, the national average for gas continues to fall at

25
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: twelve below three dollars a gal on, the lowest level

26
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: in more than four years, and if it's a just

27
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: for inflation, some of the cheapest ever many states under

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: three dollars a galon. Now the drop is no doubt

29
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: under two dollars a gallon, I should say the drop

30
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: is no doubt fueled by President Trump's push for energy dominance.

31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: More on that coming up then later President Trump moving

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: to put America first and the global race for artificial intelligence,

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: and with China aggressively pushing to dominate the AI industry,

34
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: many argue that the US can't afford to fall behind,

35
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: not even a little bit. All of that, but first,

36
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: I want to start with the Democrats, and they're pushed

37
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: to defend narco terrorists.

38
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: It is a remarkable thing that I find disheartening.

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: The Department of War strikes against narco terrorists targeting drug

40
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: boats running at sea continues to dominate headlines and online debate.

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: President Trump recently designated fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

42
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: He did that this week, and for good reason.

43
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Venerals claim the lives of many Americans, including innocent children.

44
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: Democrats in the mainstream media are furious not.

45
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Because criminals are attempting to smuggle deadly drugs into the

46
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: country but devastate American families, but because the President is

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: taking action to stop them. Instead of supporting efforts to

48
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: protect the homeland, they're attacking the commander in chief for

49
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: putting American lives first. That's truly outrageous, as they rush

50
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: to defend the drug traffickers and they're poison. Not only that,

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: our sources tell us that House Democrats have introduced a

52
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: resolution to force the US military to stand down against

53
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: designated terrorist organizations. The barely two page resolution goes as follows,

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring that

55
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: pursuant to Section five S of the War Powers, Resolution,

56
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: Congress directs the President to remove the United States Armed

57
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: Forces from five hostilities with any designate terrorist organization in

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: the Western Hemisphere, unless authorized by a declaration of war

59
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: or specific Congression authors theation for the use of military

60
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: force against such potentially designated terrorist organization. Once again, Democrats

61
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: treating criminals with more concern than law abiding citizens. Joining

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: me to discuss this, Congressman Mary Miller of Illinois fifteen congresswoman,

63
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: Nice to see you again again.

64
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: I am shocked to sit here and.

65
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: Watch Democrats defend the drug runners in these boats that

66
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: are being blown out of the water, saying the United

67
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: States has no right to interdict and stop these ghost

68
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: ships delivering oil that pays for the illegal activity of

69
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: these narco terrorists and so much more.

70
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: It's outrageous, your thoughts.

71
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: What is and every day out here is something shocking

72
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: is going on with the Democrats. So this Gregory Meeks

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 4: from New York, I have no idea who he is,

74
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 4: but I could say that he's an enemy of the

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: American people as well as anybody that would vote for

76
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: this trying to force our military to stand down against

77
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: designated terrorist groups. President Trump is doing what he promised,

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: what eighty million people went to the polls and voted for,

79
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: and that is to restore law and order and safety

80
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: and security in our country. And he's taking bold action

81
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 4: against it weakness and vites aggression. And President Trump is

82
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: showing himself strong against these people. But the Democrats are

83
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 4: in lockstep. They are against what is good for the

84
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: American people.

85
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's interesting because I've gone back and

86
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: done my homework on this. The Maritime Drug Law Enforcement

87
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: Act of nineteen eighty six was authored by a Member

88
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: of Congress from New York by the name of Chuck Schumer.

89
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: That Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act of nineteen eighty six

90
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: gave the authority to the United States government to destroy

91
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: drug running boats and killed the people on board.

92
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: It was common in the eighties and nineties. What changed.

93
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: We're in favor of drugs now, Congresswoman that the Democrats think,

94
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: oh well, if Donald Trump's killing him, it must be wrong.

95
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: This is obscene.

96
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: They're putting their priorities with the drug runners and not

97
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: the families bearing their brothers, sisters, mothers, and cousins.

98
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: It is absolutely obscene.

99
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, What's changed is the Democrat Party is cow

100
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: telling to the far left, fringe Marxists, the anti American

101
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: people that truly want a revolution. They're channeling back to

102
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: Barack Obama's dream, which was to fundamentally transform our country.

103
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 4: But no, the American people have spoken. We elected President Trump.

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 4: He's a strong leader. Under Joe Biden, we had more

105
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: overdose deaths under Joe Biden in four years than the

106
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: number of Americans that died in the entire Vietnam War,

107
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: and President Trump is calling it out.

108
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: It is.

109
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: Basically a terrorist attack on our young people, on our country.

110
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 4: And for these Democrats and sanctuary state governors and mayors

111
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: to side, they side with criminals, and their siding with

112
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: drug cartels and with terrorists organizations unbelievable.

113
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the number of people that died on nine to

114
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: eleven is matched every ten days in this country, or

115
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: less every ten days. The number people died on nine

116
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: to eleven die from Fentland and other drugs. And to

117
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: hear democrats say, well, it's just cocaine. People have heard

118
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: me say this. A friend of mine's nineteen year old

119
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: son attending college last year in this country, went out

120
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: on a weekend and took some hits off a joint.

121
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: Like a lot of college kids, it was laced with fentanyl.

122
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: He paid with his life. He died. And I bring

123
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: that up because a lot of good people are dying

124
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: in this country. They're not just junkies and homeless people.

125
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: And maybe some people think that's not of value. Every

126
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: human life has value. And when good Americans are dying

127
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: from drugs that can be stopped, and they say well,

128
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: it's just cocaine, it's just marijuana.

129
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 3: It's just look, fentanyl takes very little.

130
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: You sprinkled across the cocaine marijuana, you put it in

131
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: the fake pharmaceuticals. It happens every day, and right now,

132
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: before this day is over, a couple dozen more Americans

133
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: will be dead. They won't see the new year, Mary

134
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: because of the right I've walked to performance and policies

135
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: of Democrats go ahead.

136
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 4: I've talked to victims' families, and not one time has

137
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: a Democrat politician reached out to them. They don't care.

138
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 4: They didn't care about like Kenriley and I don't want

139
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 4: to scare people, but these drug cartels, these terrorists have

140
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 4: brought in so much fentanyl that they could kill every

141
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 4: American multiple times over. This is a serious concern, and

142
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: President Trump understands it. That's why the first order of

143
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 4: the day for him was to secure the border. He's

144
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: done that for seven straight months. There have been no

145
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 4: illegals released into our country. Border crossing is at the

146
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: lowest level since nineteen seventy. We've got well continuing the deportations,

147
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: two point five million deportations. People sent out of the

148
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: country or self deported. In the last couple of months,

149
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: President Trump's getting.

150
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: It done for the people.

151
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 4: We've got to tell people, you've got to go out

152
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: and vote in the midterms. I'm super concerned that people

153
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: are going to be laxa day with days a call.

154
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 4: But if Democrats can do it again, they will open

155
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: the borders again.

156
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course they will.

157
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: Look, you've got the Democrats also saying, well, you can't

158
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: seize that both the skipper was seized. It had one

159
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: point eight million barrels of oil out worth maybe as

160
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: much as one hundred million dollars. It was destined for

161
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: Iran or China or Rush. It doesn't matter because they're

162
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: buying it a cut raid from Venezuela and these ghost ships.

163
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Democrats also say that's not appropriate. You know, we began

164
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: seizing other countries ships at least during the Jefferson administration.

165
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: I mean I found evidence of that.

166
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: Said during the Jefferson admission, Thomas Jefferson is is folks

167
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: for you keeping score at home. We have the legal

168
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: authority to stop boats that are delivering product that has

169
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: been mandated to be stopped. We have the legal authority,

170
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: the right of the High seas to stop this illegal

171
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: trafficking of oil. And for them, again they take the

172
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: wrong side of everything here, Mary, to me, is unconscionable.

173
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 3: It's it's it's a mental illness they do.

174
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: And President Trump has they have a lot of intel.

175
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: They are doing this lawfully and they know for certain

176
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: that these are drug runners. So there's nothing haphazard about this.

177
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 4: And it's all to protect the American people. We want

178
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 4: to restore law and order and safety and security. And

179
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 4: one it's all the Democrats that are dragging President Trump's

180
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: agenda to get this done for the American people.

181
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you expect to hear from the President

182
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: to night? He has a prime time addressed to the

183
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: nation nine o'clock tonight. I think he's going to talk

184
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: about the secure border. He's going to talk about gas

185
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: prices going down. He's going to talk about the war

186
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: on drugs. He's also going to lay out his vision

187
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six. I believe Donald Trump's going to

188
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: take his show on the road this year. He's going

189
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: to run like it is twenty twenty four. He's going

190
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: to get out there and support the candidates. Because you're right,

191
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: he has to have the House. He has to have

192
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: the Senate otherwise it's all for naught, right, And he's.

193
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 4: He loves our country, He's proven it, and he's got

194
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 4: common sense ideas that will restore a country back to

195
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: a nation of freedom and opportunity. And that's his vision

196
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: and he's getting it done.

197
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

198
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: Well, I hope that he plays roles out of plan

199
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: that we can all get behind, because twenty twenty six

200
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: is you've pointed out a critical look. In my state

201
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: of Michigan, a million people that voted for Donald Trump

202
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: in twenty and twenty did not turn out for the

203
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: mid terms in twenty and twenty two.

204
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: You cannot be an only Trump voter.

205
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: You cannot show up to the battle box only if

206
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is on the bout because without the House,

207
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: without the Senate, we're gonna be without a runner. Because,

208
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: as you point out, these bad Democrat policies to come

209
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: back and then they're just going to play impeachment games,

210
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: and they are just games.

211
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 5: Right.

212
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 4: I try to courage people to get to the polls,

213
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 4: get their neighbors and their families to get to the polls,

214
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 4: and that they need to draw a contrast between the

215
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 4: Democrats and the Republican under Joe Biden, he destroyed safety

216
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 4: and security, open the border that in itself was treason US,

217
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 4: shut down our energy, the cost of everything goes back

218
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 4: to energy, and spent wildly. He stuffed billions of dollars

219
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 4: out the door on ridiculous things after the election, before

220
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: President Trump was inaugurated and took office. So we've got

221
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 4: to get people to the polls and stop the Democrats

222
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 4: from stopping his agenda.

223
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: Amen, Congress Women, Mary Miller, nice to see you. If

224
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: I don't see you again, Merry Christmas, you too. There

225
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: you have it of Illinois fifteen all right after the break.

226
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: As tensions continued to rise between the United States and Venezuela,

227
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: President Trump recently made the decision to issue a complete

228
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: blockade of oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela's We just

229
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: talked about cutting off not just the oil, but it's

230
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: the flow of money that supports terrorism, human trafficking, and worse.

231
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: Details coming up on America's Voice line.

232
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 6: Well.

233
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: President Trump is dramatically escalating pressure on Venezuela's socialist regime,

234
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: ordering a full blockade of oil tankers entering or leaving

235
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: the country.

236
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: These are called ghost ships.

237
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: The administration has formally designated the calas Maduro's government as

238
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: a foreign terrorist organization, is well, accusing it of using

239
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: stolen US assets to bank well terrorism, drug trafficking.

240
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 3: And organized crime.

241
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: This week, US authority sees an oil tanker known as

242
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: the Skipper on Venezuela's coast. It held up to one

243
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars worth of oil about one point eight

244
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: million barrels. It was probably tied to Venezuela or Ron

245
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: Rush and elsewhere. Officials described the Skipper as part of

246
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: that massive ghost fleet of ships that hide their origins

247
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: by changing names, changing flags, and ownership while shutting off

248
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: tracking systems to evade sanctions. Now the move comes as

249
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: US forces continue striking those Narco trafficking boats near Venezuela,

250
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,119
Speaker 1: reinforcing President Trump's crackdown and criminal networks threatening American security.

251
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: Join me to discuss this is national security analyst and

252
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: vice president of the Lexington Institute, Rebecca Grant.

253
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: Rebecca, nice to see you today.

254
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: I see that the US Senate here that just in

255
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: the last few minutes, has voted to release those videos

256
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: of that September second attack on a Narco terrorist boat.

257
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it makes a lot of difference to

258
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: the American people. In the polling I see sixty five

259
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: to seventy percent of Americans think this is the right

260
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: thing to do, to destroy these boats before they deliver

261
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: poison to our shores and kill people here. Every ten days,

262
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: more people die in America from drug overdoses from illegal

263
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: drugs than died on nine to eleven. People are tired

264
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: of it. We all know somebody, if it's not directly

265
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: in our family, friends, neighbors that have lost people to

266
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: this terrible poison. The Senate can force it to show

267
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: the videos. I don't think it's going to change perception.

268
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: I think America supports this. What is your take?

269
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 7: I agree Americans are ready to fight back against these

270
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 7: drug cartels. You know, all for years we've heard about

271
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 7: the war on drugs, and yet Maduro's regime has spiraled

272
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 7: further down into criminality. We know that Maduro and the

273
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 7: Venezuelan military work with remnants of Colombian gorillas and others

274
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 7: to run a major drug trafficking rank. So President Trump,

275
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 7: as we know, has declared these cartels to be an

276
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 7: and be combatants and an imminent threat to the US.

277
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 7: I think that just that resonates with the American people.

278
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 7: We all know people who've been affected by deaths in

279
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 7: our communities.

280
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: Let's see what is the date today, about the sixteenth, right,

281
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: so before we get to the new year, five thousand people.

282
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm just going to ballpark it. Five thousand people that

283
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: are alive today will be dead. They'll never see the

284
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: new year because of the scourge of drugs. And yet

285
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: somehow the Democrats don't talk about that. They worry about

286
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: the guy that's the drug runner running that boat, or

287
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: the drug dealers.

288
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: They claim that it's a war crime.

289
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: And yet the ability to do this came from the

290
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act of nineteen eighty six, authored

291
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: by a Congressman from New York his name Chuck Schumer.

292
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer wrote the authorization and co sponsored it. It

293
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: passed almost unanimously, and that's what triggered attacking drug boats

294
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties and the nineteen nineties. It was

295
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: the right thing to do then, it's the right thing

296
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: to do now. Deliveries are down, cash flow is crunched.

297
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: He is putting a pinch on Maduro in all these cartels.

298
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: It's working. Why are they opposed to it?

299
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 5: It is working.

300
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 7: And of course the centerpiece of this is something we

301
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 7: haven't seen before, the deployment of the US S.

302
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 5: Jerald R.

303
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 7: Ford aircraft carrier, the Ewjima amphibious ready group that carries

304
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 7: special operations, capable marines, etc. To really push down on this.

305
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 7: I don't understand. I think part of this, of course,

306
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 7: is political and attack on the Trump himself, trying to

307
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 7: get at Secretary Hegseth and so many others. Because the

308
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 7: administration is clearly within its constitutional bounds. They have laid

309
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 7: out their case. State and Treasury have given us the details.

310
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 7: As we know, Madua was indicted by the Southern District

311
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 7: of New York years ago. He's got a fifty million

312
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 7: dollar bounty on his head from the State Department. I

313
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 7: don't see what the objection is here. It's are we

314
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 7: striking the right boats? Yes, we've got great surveillance. Do

315
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 7: we have the right to strike those boats?

316
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 5: Yes?

317
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 7: Says the Administration's carefully laid out case, and that classified office,

318
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 7: the Legal Council opinion, and that all the Congressman and

319
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 7: senators were briefed on a long time ago.

320
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: We have the right to strike those boats because of

321
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty six law authored by Chuck Schumer and

322
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: when he was in Congress. We have the right under

323
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: American laws right here in my hand to go after

324
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: those boats. And go after those boats we have done

325
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: for decades. That hasn't changed. We also have the right

326
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: to blockade Venezuela. We have the right to board and

327
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: take ships that are ghost ships, because what they do

328
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: is they'll leave port with a couple million barrels of oil,

329
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: then they go out to see the off offload a

330
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: couple hundred thousand barrels here, a couple hundred thousand rows there.

331
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: Then they'll change the flag in the boat. That's all

332
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: illegal under international maritime law. So what we're doing is

333
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: well within our responsibility and we should continue to do it,

334
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: yes or no, yes.

335
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 7: And crazy that these marriators don't realize we are onto them.

336
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 5: We chase Russia's.

337
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 7: Ghost fleet, which is also quite big and oil smuggling,

338
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 7: and the Baltic We have such good maritime surveillance that

339
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 7: we know what they're up to. Turning off their transponder

340
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 7: isn't going to do it anymore.

341
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 5: And so there's a long list of sanctioned vessels.

342
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 7: A lot of them are oil tankers, some of them

343
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 7: are tugs, offshore drilling rigs, etc. A lot of those

344
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 7: sanctions date back quite a few years at this point.

345
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 7: And so this is just the next layer of policy

346
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 7: pressure on Maduro. And I think it's showing us now

347
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 7: clearly that Trump does have multiple objectives here. Number one

348
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 7: is stopping the drug and migrant trade and the damage

349
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 7: to these cartels do. But there's also a desire to

350
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 7: pressure Maduro because wouldn't it be nice if he were gone?

351
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 7: And then, of course, big picture, to take care of

352
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 7: the Western hemisphere and push back on the influence of.

353
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 5: Russia and China in our neighborhood.

354
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: And again, here's the question I keep asking, because I

355
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: cannot come up with a reasonable answer. Why is it

356
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: the Democrats are more worried about the people driving that

357
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: boat then the people that are going to spend the

358
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: next few days planning a funeral, or those that are

359
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: going to go ahead and have a funeral for their son,

360
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: their daughter, their husband, their neighbor, whatever it may be.

361
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: Real Americans are dying in big cities and small towns

362
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: all across this country. It's happening every day, there'll be

363
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: several dead more before midnight, and yet the Democrats don't

364
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: seem to have any interest in that at all. Rebecca,

365
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 1: that's reprehensible.

366
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 5: I agree, there seems to be no answer.

367
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 7: But I think real Americans have made the connection between

368
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 7: these narco terrorists, and remember every target that's attacked is

369
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 7: looked at very carefully as to.

370
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 5: What boat it is and who is on that.

371
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 7: They have made that connection between this long time illicit

372
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 7: trade a half million migrants also from Venezuela coming across

373
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 7: the border, and they've made that connection and know that

374
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 7: what you've got to do is get after the Maduro regime.

375
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 7: And these boats and their tentacles are everywhere through a

376
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 7: lot of the United States, of course down in South

377
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 7: and Central America. We've got to make that connection. I

378
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 7: think the Trump administration has pointed the way.

379
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: And just a short while ago today Pete hag Seth

380
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: and Marco Rubio, the Secretary of in the Secretary of State,

381
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: held a classified intelligence briefing for members of the United

382
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: States Senate. Half came out and said they laid it

383
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: out for us. We have full authority. We know exactly

384
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: who these people are. We know exactly then, what's contained

385
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: on those boats? And the Democrats Democrats clown saying the

386
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: exact opposite. It's like they live in an alternate universe.

387
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: They want the drug runners to run free. Why in

388
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: the world would you like that. I don't get it.

389
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: The Republicans like John Kennedy and others came out, Look,

390
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: we saw the evidence. We know who we're hitting, of

391
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: course we do. We've got great satellites, great intelligence, great

392
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: machinery like the jail R four that you mentioned. I

393
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: expect Donald Trump to talk about this during his prime

394
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: time addressed to the nation tonight at nine, among other things.

395
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: I'll give you the last word.

396
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 7: We've got to get after these drug cartels. It is

397
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 7: time to defend the Western hemisphere, and President Trump, Secretary Rubio,

398
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 7: they're pointing the way.

399
00:20:58,920 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 3: They certainly are.

400
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: Rebecca greatly appreciate you being here, President of the Lexington Institute.

401
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: We'll talk again soon, Rebecca, thank you, Thank you all.

402
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: Right after the break, President Trump continues his efforts to

403
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: unleash American energy while driving down the cost at the

404
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: same time.

405
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 3: If you haven't seen it, I have.

406
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: I paid two seventy five a gallon yesterday to fill

407
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: the suburban.

408
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: I appreciated that.

409
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: Details up next on ABL all right, As I mentioned,

410
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: I filled the suburban yesterday for two seventy five. Trust me,

411
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: when gas was five bucks a gallon, it was just

412
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: about debilitating. Now President Trump is delivering real relief for

413
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: American families by driving energy costs down.

414
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: That is good news.

415
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: The national average gas price dropped well below three dollars

416
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: a gallon, the low SLOVN more than four years. Many

417
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: states now paying under two dollars a gallon, places like

418
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: Texas and Oklahoma seeing a lot of stations at a

419
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: buck ninety nine. Lower fuel costs reduced transportation and production expenses,

420
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: which is expected to ease grocery and household prices in

421
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. The problem is, once inflation goes up,

422
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: it's hard to bring prices back down to The drop

423
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: is fueled by President Trump's push for energy dominance, expanding drilling,

424
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: cutting taxes on production, and rolling back biden Eric green

425
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: mandates and roadblocks. Republicans say permitting reform is the next

426
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: step to unlock even more affordable energy and finally end

427
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: this crisis of paying the bills. Join me to discuss this,

428
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: Senior director of government Affairs at the National Taxpayers Union,

429
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: Tommy Ilo, Tommy, nice to see again.

430
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Thanks for having me.

431
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: I think Chris Wright is doing a marvelous job as

432
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: a Secretary of Energy. Let me just say that to start.

433
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: I think he's doing a remarkable job. We're seeing great

434
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: expansion of energy production places like Alaska, where they're good

435
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: putting an LNG pipeline coming south. Liquified natural gas can

436
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: power power plants. The price of gasoline, like I said,

437
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: the average now in Oklahoma's two twenty nine.

438
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 3: That's the average in the state of Oklahoma.

439
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: That's just one example of how great things are, not

440
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: two in all states. California, let's see, they're still paying

441
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: four thirty four on average.

442
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 3: That's because of taxes.

443
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: By the way, Tommy, if they would lower taxes in California,

444
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: the people there would appreciate it. But energy policy is

445
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: the foundation for a solid economy in America. It always

446
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: has been, because this country runs on vast quantities of

447
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: cheap energy.

448
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: Donald Trump was on the right trail, isn't.

449
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: He he is?

450
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 6: The United States is blessed with abundant natural resources that

451
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 6: can power our economy independently.

452
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: Right.

453
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, the last administration they wanted to shackle our oil

454
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 6: and gas producers and then had a real impact. We

455
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 6: all remember that five dollars a gallon gasoline and one

456
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 6: hundreds of dollars it would cost to fillip our tank

457
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 6: every month. You know, thanks to President Trump unleashing American

458
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 6: energy dominance, gas prices are well below three dollars and

459
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 6: Americans are saving a collective four hundred million dollars a

460
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 6: week compared to last year when gas prices were much

461
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 6: higher under President Biden.

462
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: There's still more work.

463
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 6: Today, ability to take you know, this needs to be

464
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 6: a core part of the President's affordability messaging.

465
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: Well, I hope it's a core part of his address

466
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: to the Nation tonight at nine o'clock. By the way,

467
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: we'll have complete coverage here on Real America's Voice beginning

468
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: at seven o'clock tonight during Grant stench Fields Hour here

469
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: on the network. Getting energy prices down is pivotal to America.

470
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: It is, and he's on the right track. But there's

471
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: more work to be done. A lot of these roadblocks

472
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: for permitting and Green New Deal nonsense still have to

473
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: be cleared out of the way.

474
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 3: Correct that's exactly right.

475
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 6: And let's just take a look at the difference between

476
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 6: Joe Biden and President Trump. Right under the One Big

477
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 6: Beautiful Bill, we cut taxes on energy producers every time

478
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 6: they drill. We opened up more oil and gas drilling

479
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 6: on federal lands. That's great news for more energy production,

480
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 6: and we have more certainty for fossil fuel energy projects.

481
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: Add it all up.

482
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 6: That's the certainty and the lower cost drillers need to

483
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 6: produce more oil and gas here in the United States.

484
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 2: So we should be thank you every Republican that voted

485
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 2: for it.

486
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 3: You just mentioned that.

487
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: Right now, the way gas prices are, Americans are saying

488
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: four hundred million a week, it could be five hundred

489
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: million a week. If this trend continues, and I see

490
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: no reason for it to stop, that's half a billion

491
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: dollars a week. That money then goes somewhere else into

492
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: the economy, doesn't it. Generally speaking, that money we spent

493
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: on other things stimulating the economy because Americans have a

494
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: chance for the more disposable income.

495
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 6: Correct, that's exactly right. There's more money in Americans' pockets.

496
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 6: That's money they could spend on Christmas gifts. That's money

497
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 6: they could put away for their savings, or more money

498
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 6: just to go out and go to a nice dinner.

499
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 6: All of those things is more money in people's pockets.

500
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 6: They're able to spend it how they want to. That's

501
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 6: a lot of money. And I really do think this

502
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 6: trend is going to continue to decline. There'll be more

503
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 6: savings on Christmas Day and into the new year, and

504
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 6: we should be celebrating with President Trump and Congressional Republicans

505
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 6: have done to get us to this point.

506
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 2: It didn't just happen by accident.

507
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: I think I'll mention that to my wife. Hey, honey,

508
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: the gas prices are down. You can buy me something

509
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: nicer for Christmas. I think it's a good play, Tommy.

510
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: I like that, Hey, honey, not great advice this time

511
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: of year. Yeah, you can upgrade my president, hon. But

512
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: that's good news. Look, the expectations of Americans were going

513
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: to spend a trillion dollars on Christmas anyway.

514
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 3: But this stimulates the economy.

515
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: Vast quantities of cheap energy run this country, always have,

516
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: always will when energy is expensive. America kind of slows

517
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: down when it's cheap like this. And your point is, well, taken.

518
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: We produce more energy now than any nation on Earth.

519
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: We need to expand that greatly and continue to become

520
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: a net exporter of energy in a bigger way every

521
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: single year. I'll give you the last word.

522
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 6: You just have to see this in places like Texas

523
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 6: and Louisiana, where they've had this burst of production and

524
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 6: natural gas, they're exporting it across the world. America is

525
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 6: a much wealthier place because of President Trump unleashing American

526
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 6: energy dominance.

527
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and oil now fifty six dollars for West Texas

528
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: intermediate Brent crue the benchmark sixty dollars and fourteen cents.

529
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: The oil prices continue to go down. That's always good news, Tommy.

530
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: Always good to see you. Thank you, and if I

531
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: don't see again, Merry Christmas.

532
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: Thank you. Same to you and to your viewers.

533
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: There you have it now.

534
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of politicians they should be getting cold,

535
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: they're stocking for Christmas. But Birch Gold, thanks a smart planner,

536
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: deserves silver instead. That's why for every five thousand dollars

537
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: you purchased between now and December's twenty second, Birch Gold

538
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,720

539
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: this shiny and beautiful silver up one hundred and eight

540
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: percent year over year. You see, smart people diversify and

541
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: have a hedge. That's why I encourage you to buy

542
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: gold from Birch Gold. With the rate cuts from the

543
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: FED in twenty twenty six, the dollar will be worthless.

544
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: And what happens if the bubble burst? Like AI diversify.

545
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: Let Birch's Gold group help you convert an existing eye

546
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: ray or four one CA into attack sheltered IRA and

547

Speaker 1: physical gold. For every five thousand dollars you buy, you

548
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,399

556
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: All right after the break amid final exams, colleges across

557
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: the country seem to be coddling their students by rolling

558
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: out distress events filled with plato, lego building and stuffed animals.

559
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: I didn't have that in college. I think it's asinine.

560
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it after the break. You know, I

561
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: am old enough to remember that when you went to college,

562
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: nobody cared about your feelings either work, tarting gout. The

563
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: greater you did, that's kind of the deal, because college

564
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: is about proving you can do the work. It's not

565
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: always about the degree. It's going to a company and

566
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: demonstrating you can do hard work. You can think on

567
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: your own, you can work independently, but.

568
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: Have times change.

569
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: Colleges nationwide are now trying unusual methods to help students

570
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: cope cope with final.

571
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: Exempt stress, Oh you got stress.

572
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: And critics on the right are raising eyebrows like me.

573
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: According to a recent campus reform report, universities have been

574
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: hosting events that resemble preschool activities more than academic support.

575
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 3: Trust me.

576
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: Schools like Indiana are giving out care bear stuffed animals,

577
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: holding pajama parties with hot chocolate and cookies every community college,

578
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: and by students to come and play with plato and

579
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: board games as part of the reset with Recess event.

580
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: What are we five? Other campuses offered robot petting zoos,

581
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: goat cuddling sessions, goats they smell, lego, building blocks, slime making,

582
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: and even mechanical bulls. This mechanical bs is what it is.

583
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: Many of the programs are funded by student fees built

584
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: in the tuition meeting. The students are indirectly paying for

585
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: stress relief that some argue and fantilizes them, rather than

586
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: preparing them for the real world. I don't get plato

587
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: here at work. I don't think the people in the

588
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: control room get that sort of thing, right, all right,

589
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: So joining me now from campus perform Emily sturge, Emily,

590
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: you got your legos there, you got your Plato, you

591
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: got your care bear. I mean, come on, people, College

592
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: is about doing the work. I'm sorry, I can't, I can't,

593
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: I can't.

594
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 8: All right, Well, it's great to be with you, Steve,

595
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 8: and no, I don't have my plato or my care bears.

596
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 8: But students on America's university campuses, due because it's exam

597
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 8: season and colleges are choosing to caddle students and offer

598
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 8: playful distractions instead of helping prepare them for their exams

599
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 8: for the workforce or for life itself. As you mentioned,

600
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 8: Indiana University is giving students care bears and get this

601
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 8: engineering student at the University of Chicago, Illinois while they're

602
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 8: playing with slime this week and they're making friendship bracelets.

603
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 8: None of these activities are preparing college students for real life.

604
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I just read a report. I don't

605
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: have it right in front of you, but here's what

606
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: it's said. Twenty five percent of the kids that have

607
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: perfect four point zeros coming out of high school can't

608
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: do basic math. You know when they find out when

609
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: they take their ACT and SAT exams. So we are

610
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: screwing up generations of people by giving them great inflation,

611
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: play dough, lego goat who wants to goat? Smell? Goats

612
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: have a bad odor? Who's cuddling with a goat? All right?

613
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: I'm just not in me, all right, But the fact

614
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: of the matter is we're not preparing kids in high school.

615
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: This is embarrassing.

616
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: Indiana University ought to be ashamed of itself and show

617
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: should all the rest. But look, we need to teach

618
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: kids about the rigor of the real world. Do you

619
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: think your boss? Oh sorry, Johnny, I know you had

620
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: a tough week. Here's some playdough. Maybe next week will

621
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: be better. Oh, here's your paycheck. Come on, It's not

622
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: how the world works, is it.

623
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 5: It's not.

624
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 8: And colleges say that they're providing these activities to help

625
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 8: students cope with exam stress. But you and I both

626
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 8: know that the real stress is going to come after

627
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 8: graduation when these students can't find jobs. And that's a

628
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 8: very harsh reality that many gen Zers are facing right now.

629
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 8: At the Leadership and Students Campus are Forum, we are

630
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 8: reporting that it's only twelve percent of college graduates who

631
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 8: are able to secure a job before graduation. While it's

632
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 8: not shocking when you hear this story, when we've got

633
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 8: care bearers and legos in the classroom, those activities aren't

634
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 8: preparing students for the workforce and then they go to

635
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 8: an interview for jobs and what do they have to offer.

636
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 8: Hiring managers are saying that gen Z is just not prepared.

637
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 8: And when you look at this story, it's.

638
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: Not a shock, you know what, Emily, this brings me

639
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: back to something that I have suggested on this program

640
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: for a number of years, and it reminds me of it.

641
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: I think these colleges Indiana Universe will use those folks

642
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: as an example.

643
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,959
Speaker 3: If you're going to give a kid a degree and

644
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 3: some Plato to play with and.

645
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: They get out of the real world in five years

646
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: down the line, the degree you sold them with the

647
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars student that doesn't get them a

648
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: real job, You the university are the co signer on

649
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: that loan. I bet things would change quick if the

650
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: universities that have these giant endowments they were on the

651
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: hook to make sure the kids that got their degrees

652
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: actually were successful in the world.

653
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 3: Things might change around here.

654
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: Last word to you, I think you're right.

655
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 8: I think we do need to shift some blame to

656
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 8: the universities and not necessarily Generation Z entirely for this.

657
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 8: And I want to remind you we're talking about the

658
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 8: generation that is leading the military recruitment boom. We've got

659
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 8: eighteen year olds lining up to serve in our military

660
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 8: for the first time in many years, all of our

661
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 8: military branches have hit their recruiting goals. And this is

662
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 8: also the generation that voted to elect President Donald Trump.

663
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 5: Back to the Oval office. This is not a.

664
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 8: Generation of snowflakes. We need to be calling out the

665
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 8: universities for infantilizing college students and putting these activities in place.

666
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 5: Faith and gen Z.

667
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: I do as well. The most conservative generation in quite

668
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: a while. I'll give you this. The military is not

669
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: going to give Plato to play with. I'll tell you

670
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: that they're going to see four to play with. It

671
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: kind of feels the same, but it has a different result.

672
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: Emily Sturge, thank you so much for being here as always,

673
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: and if I don't see you again, Merry Christmas.

674
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 8: Merry Christmas, Deve, thank you for having me.

675
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: Of course I'm not cuddling Ago Goat's good pepper fried,

676
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: a little spicy, you know, little rice. But other than that,

677
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: all right. Coming up after the break, President Trump is

678
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: moving to put America first in the global race for

679
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence, or China aggressively pushing to dominate the AI industry.

680
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: Many argue that the US cannot afford to fall behind

681
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: a well. More on that coming up on abl.

682
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: O Reentry.

683
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: What everyone.

684
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 9: The radical left knows exactly what they're doing. They want

685
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 9: to steal the election. We're going to walk down Pennsylvania

686
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 9: Avenue to peacefully and patriotically make your voices.

687
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: Heard events in Washington have taken a violent and tumultuous turk.

688
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 10: January sixth wasn't just a moment in history. For thousands

689
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 10: of Americans. It was the moment their.

690
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: Voices were taken.

691
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 4: Its insurrection.

692
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 10: They were persecuted, hunting seditious, but behind prison wolves, something

693
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 10: unexpected happened. They found their voice.

694
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 3: Again, started singing it national antheon. We took it up

695
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: to him and mar A Lago Apple by voice, so.

696
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 5: Our supporters made this goat real.

697
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 10: America's Voice is telling the real story of January sixth

698
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 10: like you've never seen it before.

699
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: This must be stories.

700
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 10: This is not the story you were shown our trade responsibility.

701
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 11: This is the story they lived government entrapment scheme that

702
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 11: this actually.

703
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 10: Was the j six Patriots are no longer staying silent.

704
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 10: They are speaking, They are standing, and they are telling

705
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 10: the truth.

706
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: You can't kill us, you can't be us.

707
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: They tried to silence them.

708
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 10: Instead, they woke up an entire nation. The sleeping giant

709
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 10: coming soon.

710
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to America's Voice Live. Last week,

711
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: the President signed an executive or aimed at streamlining AI

712
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: regulations and cutting through bureautic bureaucratic.

713
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 3: Red tape that can stifle innovation.

714
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: The goal of this executive order is to keep American

715
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: companies competitive while at the same time protecting national security

716
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: and individual freedom.

717
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 3: What a concept.

718
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: And when China aggressively pushing to dominate the AI industry,

719
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: the White House argues, the US cannot afford to fall behind,

720
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: not even a little. It goes without saying that smart

721
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: limited regulation will help insure Americans continue to lead the

722
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: next generation of technological advancement on our terms, not somebody else's.

723
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: Join me out to discuss this. The director of policy

724
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: at net Choice, Patrick Hedger. Patrick, nice to have you

725
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: back on the program. Let me ask you a good

726
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: thing that got signed.

727
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 3: Bad thing? What is your take on it?

728
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 11: No, I think this is great and it's much needed

729
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 11: action from the Trump administration of following up on their

730
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 11: AI Action Plan from the summer, which said they were

731
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 11: going to go after states that put forward regulations that

732
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 11: are overly burdensome. But what Trump is really targeting here

733
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,959
Speaker 11: with this executive order are rules and regulations that would

734
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 11: give progressive state officials inordinate power to be able to

735
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 11: essentially control the flow of information through AI systems and

736
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 11: also delay the development of AI systems. We can't have that.

737
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 11: This is fundamentally an interstate service and that is the

738
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 11: domain of the federal government. So President Trump is well

739
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 11: within his rights to step.

740
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: In here, as he should be. So you want less roadblocks,

741
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: but guardrails are important, aren't they. We want to make

742
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: sure that we're protecting you. Look, privacy has become a

743
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: quaint idea. I mean, this phone of mind spies on me,

744
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 1: this computer that monitor, this television over here, it all

745
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: spies on me, and that bothers me. And I think

746
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: as AI continues to advance, my privacy becomes less and

747
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: less whatever's left of it. Now, what concerns should people

748
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: have when it comes to AI, when it comes to

749
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: protecting themselves, whether it's privacy or any other concern Yeah, and.

750
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 11: So privacy is something where the federal government has dropped

751
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 11: the ball. We should have a national privacy standard as well,

752
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 11: and we're hoping to see that with AI too, because strong,

753
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 11: clear rules at the federal level instead of fifty conflicting

754
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 11: rules at the state level, would actually be better for innovation. Right,

755
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 11: you create regulatory certainty people know what they're supposed to

756
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 11: build to what the parameters are, but we should really

757
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 11: be focused on outcomes, right, instead of trying to predict

758
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 11: the future, Instead of trying to micro manage the development

759
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 11: and design of these systems, we should be focused on

760
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 11: policing misuse and making sure that law enforcement and other

761
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 11: consumer protection resources are adequate to address misuse of technology. AI,

762
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 11: like any other technology, can be misused. An automobile can

763
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 11: be misused, A hammer can be misused. Right, we don't

764
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 11: try to regulate the design of the hammer. What we

765
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 11: do is go after bad action with it. And that's

766
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 11: what needs to happen with AI as well. And that's

767
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 11: the right balance to preserve innovation.

768
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: So what are some of the things you'd like to

769
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: see in such legislation, Patrick, you and I talk about

770
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: this a lot. Give me a couple of things that

771
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: you think are imperative that we don't have today. They

772
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: think as important as we go, Look, the world's going

773
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: to change more of the ten years in front of

774
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: us than the ten thousand behind us because of AI

775
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 1: and all the things that applies to I really believe

776
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: that we're going to see massive change in everything that

777
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: we do and how things function, and how our homes function,

778
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: our vehicles and our lives.

779
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 3: Give me a couple of things you think are imperative.

780
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, something I think is really imperative is that in

781
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 11: the previous generation of technology, and we're talking about social

782
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 11: media and other online platforms, the federal government really dropped

783
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 11: the ball in allocating resources to law enforcement to adapt

784
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 11: to these technologies, work with the companies to address bad actors.

785
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 11: I would like to see that commitment made to in

786
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 11: the AI transition so that we're having agencies, whether they're

787
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 11: consumer regulatory agencies or law enforcement agencies, that are AI

788
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 11: literate and are actually using AI to help achieve their

789
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 11: mission and help protect Americans and protect American consumers. That

790
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 11: is so adoption of AI broadly as well as resources

791
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 11: for these agencies is something that I think would be

792
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 11: really great to have in a federal AI framework package.

793
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 11: And that's something that I think would go a long

794
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 11: way in terms of protecting consumers instead of all these

795
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 11: other things like trying to deputize the trial bar, for example,

796
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 11: to just go after and sue all of America's innovators.

797
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: What about putting a shot collar on the government to

798
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: make sure they don't overreach with AI? What a what

799
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: just controlling the government and all they're doing. I'll give

800
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: you the last word.

801
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 11: No, I think that's exactly right as well. And then

802
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 11: we need transparency in terms of government requests to social

803
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 11: media companies AI companies in terms of the demands they

804
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 11: are making in terms of trying to control the flows

805
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 11: of information on those services. And again, that's really the

806
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 11: big concern with AI laws that we've seen in California

807
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 11: and Colorado, the two big ones that have passed so far,

808
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 11: is they create that opportunity for progressive attorneys general or

809
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 11: progressive governorance in those states to put their thumbs on

810
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 11: the scale in terms of what AI outputs are producing.

811
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Patrick, thank you for being here. Is always always

812
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: very informative.

813
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. Thank you all.

814
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: Right after the break, we'll have a story that reminds

815
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: us of just how wonderful America is. Plus your answers

816
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: to our America's Voice question of the day, what would

817
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: you like to see President Trump announced tonight? It is

818
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: nine pm address. Your answer is America when we come back. Well,

819
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: what makes America wonderful? We do it every day. Although

820
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 1: we're putting a smile on your face like this one.

821
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: Today's story comes to us from Yukon, Oklahoma, or a

822
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 1: daycare staff heroically sprang into action after a car crashed

823
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: through the wall of the building. Five staff members at

824
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: La Petite Academy that night recount hearing an ear shattering bang,

825
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: followed by the lights going out. Furthermore, the smell of

826
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: smoke caught the smell and along with that the bright

827
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: orange glow of fire, urging them to quickly evacuate the

828
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: thirty three kids within the building. Whether it was the

829
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: adrenaline or the various repetitions of standard evacuation protocols, the

830
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: staff promptly carried up to three children at a time

831
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: through the fire, through the wreckage.

832
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 3: Ultimately they got them all out. All the little ones

833
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 3: are just fine.

834
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: Fire officials arrived shortly on the scene to put out

835
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: the firing well. They commended the efforts of the staff there, man,

836
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: they did it right. Parents out there can relate to

837
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: always wanting their safety of their children put first, especially

838
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: when they aren't at home, and the valiant and selfless

839
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 1: actions displayed by the five staff members at Le Patita

840
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: Academy served to remind us of what makes America wonderful.

841
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: Acting quickly under pressure. All right, question today, What do

842
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: you want to see Trump say tonight during that nine

843
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: o'clock address, Kate Zagitt, He's going to ignore the judges

844
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: from now on and reclaim his role as president. Okay,

845
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: Mark Horger mass arrests easy, Mike, Kenneth Biati that the

846
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: US just bombed Venezuela for its possession of a weapon

847
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: of mass destruction. There knowingly continue to attack our citizens

848
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: in this manner. Douglas writes the deconstruction of the IRS.

849
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: Ata Boy, doug nothing says Merry Christmas like no more taxes.

850
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 1: I'll give you that garden, mom, forty two more deportations,

Speaker 1: new insurance program, all right in one more saladure, no

852
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: property tax for real Americans and seniors exempt from all taxation.

853
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: One wouldn't that be something? All right?

854
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: So, just to make you clear, tonight, our coverage starts

Speaker 1: Trump's prime time address. I'll be there with you because

857
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't work enough and I don't sleep nearly enough,

858
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: that's for sure. But I'll be here with you along
