11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: News at checkout. All right, Democrats are starting to refine

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: their message around the big beautiful Bill, and I got

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: to be honest, I don't think that it is going

14
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: to work very well with the American people, but I

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: guess time will tell. And the Democrat strategy is nothing

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: particularly new. They've decided to paint Republicans as heartless for

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: cutting benefits to millions of people, or at least so

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: they say. And it got to a point earlier today

19
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: that somehow Congresswoman alexandri Acosio Cortes blasted President Trump's no

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: tax on tips policy watch.

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: As one of the only people in this body who

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: has lived off of tips. I want to tell you

23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 3: a little bit about the scam of that text, a

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: little bit of the fine print there. The cap on

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: that is twenty five thousand dollars, while you're jacking up

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: taxes on people who make less than fifty thousand dollars

27
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: across the United States, while taking away their SNAP, while

28
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: taking away their Medicaid, while taking kicking them off of

29
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 3: the ACA and their healthcare extensions. So if you're at

30
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: home and you're living off tips, you do the math.

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: You listen.

32
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: I spent a good portion of my twenties waiting tables,

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: and I would have really appreciated that policy on my tips.

34
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: But if I'm AOC, there's probably something else that I

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: could go after, something better than no tax on tips policy.

36
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: Even if the cap is at twenty five thousand. Surely

37
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: a tax break on American workers who rely on tips

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: cannot be a bad thing. But it seems that that's

39
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: one of the messages that they're going with. And Senator

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer made an even worse pitch against Republican cuts yesterday.

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: I'll let you figure out why. I take a listen.

42
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: Also, know this is just the beginning. If OJA, tax

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 4: Usaid today. Then you can be sure they'll move on

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 4: to another target tomorrow. Who knows, maybe there'll be the

45
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 4: Postal Service, or the IRS, or even the Social Security

46
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: Administration they could be next, or maybe our national security agencies.

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: I was really hoping that would be another clip of

48
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer saying that Donald Trump insided an erection that

49
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: was a really fun day in the news cycle last year. Anyway,

50
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: cutting all of those agencies sounds like a pretty good

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: deal to me, and I think that probably it sounds

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: like a good deal to a lot of Americans. And

53
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 2: Houseways and Means Chairman Jason Smith pushed back on the

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: narrative that Republicans are heartlessly cutting Medicaid and other programs.

55
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 5: Take listen, what do you say right now to Americans,

56
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 5: to people in your district who may lose their coverage?

57
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 5: Are you prepared to stand behind this when and if

58
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 5: it becomes law and.

59
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: They come to you.

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 5: As constituents extremely upset about losing their coverage.

61
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 6: Data more than eighty percent of the people in my

62
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 6: congressional district believe in Medicaid work requirements for able bodied

63
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 6: health the adults. And that is in fact what thisvill does,

64
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 6: and that is what we're delivering on.

65
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: And I want to switch gears very quickly to some

66
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: great reporting done by justin News's very own Jerry Dunleavy,

67
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: who posted this story over at justinews dot com earlier today.

68
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: It was all about CIA Director John Ratcliffe's review that

69
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: found that former CIA director John Brennan had pushed to

70
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: include the Steele dossier in their twenty sixteen Russian influence assessment.

71
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: And we now know that the Steele dossier.

72
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: Was completely baseless, and Ratcliffe's report excoriated Brennan for including

73
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: it as legitimate, concluding that the decision by agency heads

74
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: to include the Steele dossier in the intelligence community assessment

75
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the

76
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: credibility of a key judgment.

77
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: So in the end, the.

78
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: Dossier was included as a two page summary as an

79
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: annex to the report, with a further disclaimer that said

80
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: that the dossier was not used to reach any conclusions.

81
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: But if that's the case, then why was Brendan pushing

82
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: so hard to include it?

83
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: So, as I said, you can read much more about

84
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: that over on justinnews dot com. All right, time to

85
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: get to my first guest of the day. The biggest

86
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: story of the day here in Washington.

87
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Though, one big beautiful bill.

88
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: So joining me now, Republican Congresswoman from New York, Claudia's

89
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: Any Congresswoman, thanks so much for coming back on the show.

90
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: Good to see you.

91
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 7: Thank you so great to be on. What a wonderful

92
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 7: series of clips that you picked out. Yeah, the Democrats

93
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 7: really can't defend this bill, their criticisms of the bill.

94
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 7: I mean, it's really pretty breathtaking.

95
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I suppose that that's why they

96
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: someone like Alexandrio Cosio Cortes. I mean she, I know,

97
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: she wears it like a badge of honor, and I

98
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: do too because I actually love serving people. But as

99
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: a server and for her as a bartender, I'm actually

100
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: kind of upset that I missed those years as a

101
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: server when I could have had no taxes on tips.

102
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: And I just don't know if that's the right message

103
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 2: to resonate with New Yorkers who it's a big service

104
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: in this reyplace.

105
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 7: Well, you know, how about me and the girl from

106
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 7: Yorktown Heights that now says she's a bronx girl or

107
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 7: wherever she is.

108
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 8: Right.

109
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 7: Look, I was a waitress all through my college law

110
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 7: school days. That's what I did, and in some cases

111
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 7: I made a.

112
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 9: Dollar an hour. That just tells you how old I am.

113
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 7: But you had to rely on tips, you know, to

114
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 7: help me pay for my room, my board, my housing,

115
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 7: or my expenses. Everything was through what I earned as

116
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 7: a waitress and a number of different restaurants and bars

117
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 7: when I worked and studied. So, look, this is a

118
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 7: great thing that President Trump is trying to do to

119
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 7: help people who are really struggling to rely on tiped income.

120
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 7: And by the way, she comes from the one state

121
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 7: that really cracks down on the and requires tips to

122
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 7: be included in the menu. Even they get included even

123
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 7: if the customer doesn't actually put them in, so it's

124
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 7: in norward to the server even if you don't get

125
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 7: that money, and it puts a lot of it just

126
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 7: makes it more difficult for the employer and the employee

127
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 7: instead of really relying on tips. So you know, it's

128
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 7: one of the reasons I often pay tips in cash

129
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 7: because I want to avoid that unfair treatment of servers.

130
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 7: So of all the people she should be celebrating that that.

131
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: Must be a former server thing because I do the

132
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: same thing as well.

133
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: Just knowing the value of good old, cold hard cash.

134
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 9: I give more than twenty percent unless you're really bad.

135
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: That's a good threshold to have.

136
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: Okay, So we were talking a little bit before the show,

137
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: and it sounded like the numbers you have we're within

138
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: the eightieth percentile, which is pretty darn good when it

139
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 2: comes to the tax package that ways and Means handled,

140
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: but also the President Trump's agenda overall.

141
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 7: Tell us about that, Yeah, we have this is an

142
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 7: arduous task in ways and means. We're the main committee

143
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 7: of jurisdiction on this. There were eleven altogether. But this

144
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 7: is a tax bill and it is about making sure

145
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 7: that we continue the tax policy. So you know, we

146
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 7: hemmed and hawed and argued and fought from members all

147
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 7: across the United States on the Ways and Means Committee side. Sadly,

148
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 7: the Democrats are not going to support a tax tax

149
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 7: tax reduction for the American people. They're going to vote

150
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 7: they're going to vote for the highest tax increase in

151
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 7: American history on lower and middle income tax payers. And oh,

152
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 7: by the way, the wealthiest do not get cut.

153
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 9: Their taxes remain the same.

154
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 7: We're helping small businesses, we're helping locally owned and operated businesses.

155
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 7: We're helping individuals who are lower and middle income taxpayers.

156
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 7: We're helping seniors who are dependent on Social Security.

157
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 9: All these things have been debated.

158
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 7: And by the way, when it went to the Senate,

159
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 7: you know, we got about on the ways and means

160
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 7: side of the entire bill, about eighty nine percent came

161
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 7: back roughly the same, and on the President Trump's agenda

162
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 7: side of the bill, about eighty five.

163
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 9: Percent of the Trump and Trump's agenda is in this bill.

164
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 9: Now is the bill perfect?

165
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 8: No.

166
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 7: We had to make compromises all over the place. The

167
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 7: Senate made some good changes, they made some changes I

168
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 7: don't like, and I think that you know, we came

169
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 7: up with the product that has you know, it's good

170
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 7: enough to be passed, and it's something that really advances

171
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 7: the ball. And if we did there and we wait,

172
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 7: and we have a few members who are sitting there

173
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 7: saying we need to let perfect be the enemy of

174
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 7: the good, we may get absolutely nothing, which would be

175
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 7: catastrophic to the American people when it comes to tax increases,

176
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 7: not funding the security we needed our border, not helping

177
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 7: our troops, not unleashing American energy and get our energy underway.

178
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 7: These are critical issues that are going to be unleashed

179
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 7: by this bill. If we don't do it, we're going

180
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 7: to get nothing, a big fat zero. That's why this

181
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 7: bill has to go through. That's why President Trump is

182
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 7: working so hard. The Speaker and our leadership team understand

183
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 7: how important this is.

184
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 9: This is not about whether it's conservative, whether we cut.

185
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 7: Enough, because the question is, we are cutting more mandatory

186
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,479
Speaker 7: spending than has ever been cut in the history.

187
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 9: Of the United States. It's happening in this bill.

188
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 7: We can't cut the entire disastrous federal debt and deficit

189
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 7: in one fell swoop that took decades to create, or

190
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 7: else will We'll have problems in our communities. We'll have

191
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 7: carnage there, We'll have people who have relied on things.

192
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 7: We've got to give an off ramp that gives us

193
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 7: a chance to keep our community stable, to make sure

194
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 7: that we get our tax cuts, that we grow the economy.

195
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 7: All these things are our very, very delicate issues, and

196
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 7: that's why we've so carefully balanced those things. When we

197
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 7: come to what policies we've got in this.

198
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: Bill, I mean, the alternative to not passing it is

199
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: a very very bleak outcome.

200
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 9: It's grim.

201
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: It is so for people like Thomas Massey. I understand

202
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 2: he has a purity test that he pretty much uses

203
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: for practically every legislation. That's why he's known as mister No.

204
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: But like you said, I mean, even the border security alone,

205
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: something that is so desperately needed after four years of

206
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 2: an open border, How on earth can he.

207
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: How can you vote?

208
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 10: Know?

209
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 7: Look, I like Tom Massey personally. He's a charming guy.

210
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 7: He's a friend of mine. I totally disagree with his ideology.

211
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 7: You know, he takes this stance that he's the and

212
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 7: he leans into this and a social media which, by

213
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 7: the way, he monetizes and makes money off that.

214
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 9: He's the only.

215
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 7: Principal guy in Washington because he stands at a very

216
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 7: extreme libertarian position. But you know what, our founders were

217
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 7: not libertarians. They actually rejected the notion because what we

218
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 7: need to do is again balance liberty and balance security,

219
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 7: and that's what we get ordered liberty, which is really

220
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 7: what our country was founded on. If you looked at

221
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 7: the amalgam of all the different things that our founders

222
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 7: brought to the table and all the things that make

223
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 7: a self governing constitutional republic work. We have to compromise

224
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 7: in some places, and Tom wants a zero sum game.

225
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 7: It's one hundred percent of what he wants or nothing.

226
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 7: And so he's really not a Republican in the true

227
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 7: sense of the word. He's a libertarian, and unfortunately that's

228
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 7: just not going to get him over the line. I mean,

229
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 7: a nice guy, and I just disagree with them philosophically,

230
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 7: as do I think he claims to be the constitutionalist,

231
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 7: He's not really a constitutionalist. He's a libertarian and our

232
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,479
Speaker 7: constitution is not libertarian.

233
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 9: So that's the way it is.

234
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are two very different things.

235
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: Speaking of the border, a really banner day June twenty

236
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: eighth mark the lowest single day encounter record. Border patrol

237
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: encountered just one hundred and thirty seven border crossers. This

238
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: is not, you know, people who were let into the country.

239
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: This is just people who were met at the border.

240
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: It's pretty incredible.

241
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, and to think we haven't changed our laws, we're

242
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 7: just enforcing them. We're just telling people we're not welcome

243
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 7: you to come illegally across the border. If you have

244
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 7: a legitimate asylum claim, go to a port of entry.

245
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 9: It's as simple as that.

246
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 7: We're not flying people over the border and giving them

247
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 7: safe refuge at the expense of the states and the

248
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 7: local taxpayers like Joe Biden did, and the you know,

249
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 7: the night flights into places like New York State and others.

250
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 7: We're not doing that. We're making sure that the American

251
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 7: people are protected. We also, you know, by the way,

252
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 7: this is the other thing that really obsessed me about

253
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 7: the Democrats message. You know, we appreciate and revere and

254
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 7: we want to see legal immigration into this country. We

255
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 7: welcome people who want to come and be part of

256
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 7: this really special place where we have self governance and

257
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 7: we have freedom, and we have free speech and you

258
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 7: don't have to worry about a dictator or a tyranny

259
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 7: that that many people of these people are leaving.

260
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 9: But we're also very tolerant.

261
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 7: Come here legally, work, contribute to our society, be part

262
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 7: of this great American dream.

263
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 9: Look at how many millions of Americans have done that.

264
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 7: So what President Trump is saying is just look, come

265
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 7: here legally, but we're.

266
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 9: Not going to tolerate it.

267
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 7: If you don't come here, we can't have a society

268
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 7: without rule of law. And rule of law is what

269
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 7: makes it all work, makes us able to have self governance,

270
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 7: and what keeps us secure, what makes people safe to

271
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 7: raise their families and go to work and have a

272
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 7: community where we can actually enjoy each other's company without

273
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 7: worrying about being unsafe from foreign invaders.

274
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 9: And you know what Joe Biden allowed.

275
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 7: He allowed illegal gang members to profit profit sickening. It's

276
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 7: sickening profit off of human trafficking, drug trafficking, little children.

277
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,239
Speaker 7: You hear Tom Holman, who by the way, is my constituent,

278
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 7: talk about where are the three hundred thousand children who've

279
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 7: been trafficked that are somewhere in the interior of the

280
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 7: United States. Why aren't the Democrats crying about finding those children.

281
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 9: That's who we're targeting.

282
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 7: We know ms Gang thirteen members and other trendy arad

283
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 7: when other dangerous gang members are within our mists.

284
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 9: They're all over our country.

285
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 7: They're hiding, they're continuing their illegal, ilicit gang like operations,

286
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 7: really a form of organized crime right in front of

287
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 7: our noses.

288
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 9: All we're doing is cracking down on.

289
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 7: Those people and making sure that we have an orderly

290
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 7: flow of people legally into our country, who are going

291
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 7: to get into the workforce, add to our communities, add

292
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 7: to the great growth that we're going to see because

293
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 7: of the one big, beautiful bill.

294
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 9: It's really just that simple.

295
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 7: And the Democrats are decrying, crying and decrying all this

296
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 7: kings and everything else. It's really the opposite of what's happening.

297
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 7: And that's how you can tell when the Democrats are lying.

298
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 7: They project everything that's unreal. That's what they believe in,

299
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 7: and that's what they project.

300
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, congress Woman, I have to get your take on

301
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: this before I let you go. And I know it's

302
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: city politics, but zorun mom, Donnie, I have to imagine

303
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: that your New York friends on the other side of

304
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: the aisle Democrats have got to be petrified of this guy.

305
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: But this can't become the new Democrat Party.

306
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 7: Well, my new favorite Democratic Senator John Fetterman said it's

307
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 7: Christmas in July for Republicans.

308
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 9: He's right.

309
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 7: I just had a Democrat announced against me yesterday and

310
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 7: she is getting bombarded by the left win socialists, Democrats,

311
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 7: the so called Democrats Socialists of America, which by the way,

312
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 7: is the largest caucus in the New York State Legislature.

313
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 9: I served there in twenty sixteen.

314
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 7: There was any single Democratic Socialist of America there. This

315
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 7: is the base of the Democratic Party, and they are

316
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 7: trying to dodge it. And we are going to make

317
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 7: sure that everyone understands that the democratic socialism and this

318
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 7: type of communist Marxist allegiance is the opposite of everything

319
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 7: our country stands for, and the opposite of what legitimate

320
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 7: freedom loving, whether they're natural born citizens, new immigrants, it's

321
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 7: the opposite of what we believe in and what we

322
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 7: dream of when we come to this community, in this society.

323
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 9: It's a healthscape for Democrats.

324
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 7: Let's hope that the Republicans can articulate this message and

325
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 7: let people see the truth about Mandami.

326

Speaker 2: Stuck up now, Welcome back to just the News. No noise,

355
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 2: the phrase on everyone lips here in the nation's Capital

356
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: is still the one, big beautiful bill, but there's some

357
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: concern that the centate version of the bill is a

358
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 2: little less beautiful than before. So joining us now to

359
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: talk about all of that and much more is Indiana

360
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 2: Congressman Marlin Stutsman. Congressman, thank you so much for being here, sir.

361
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 10: Great to be with you, Amanda.

362
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: All right, So it sounds to me like it came

363
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 2: back to you guys with a little less luster than

364
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 2: it had when it left. How do you feel about it?

365
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 10: It definitely did.

366
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, being on the Budget Committee and

367
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 11: working on the big, beautiful, big bill over the last

368
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 11: several months, I felt like the product that left the

369
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 11: House was really strong. I mean, Speaker Mike Johnson again,

370
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 11: I'll just give him a lot of credit for keeping

371
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 11: a small majority in the House really unified. Has been

372
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 11: very impressive to watch. In fact, you know, I'm not

373
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 11: going to just throw the Senate under the bus, but

374
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 11: in a way, it's like they came back with more

375
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 11: debt and a couple of other pieces that are frustrating,

376
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 11: But at the same time, there's a lot of good

377
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 11: pieces as a Claudia Tenny said earlier, you know, about

378
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 11: eighty five percent of the bill has Trump's agenda, and

379
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 11: that's what I think is really important here, is to

380
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 11: make sure that we move the.

381
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 10: Trump agenda forward.

382
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 11: While I don't like more debt in here, I do

383
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 11: think that it's important at some point, you know, through

384
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 11: some discussions and negotiations about maybe future bills.

385
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 10: And that's what a lot is.

386
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 11: Happening right now is these conversations may not particularly change

387
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 11: the big, beautiful bill, but it's going to set us

388
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 11: up for the next bills that come to us, maybe

389
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 11: in a recisions package or the budget bills or the

390
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 11: appropriations bills that we'll deal with in the next couple

391
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 11: of weeks. So we can maybe make some changes there,

392
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 11: but overall, we have to make sure these tax cuts

393
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 11: stay in place, get the funding for the border, get

394
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 11: the funding for military, Golden Dome fundings in it, and

395
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 11: so there's a lot of good in it. It just

396
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 11: takes some of us a little bit of time to

397
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 11: get over our frustration.

398
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 10: After he came back.

399
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: From the Senate, Yeah, absolutely, And from what I hear

400
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: from President Trump, it sounds like recisions more recisions packages

401
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 2: are something that he's really looking forward to. I want

402
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 2: to ask you, though, because the alternative to this not

403
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: passing is that largest tax hic in American history, and

404
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 2: I know that that's going to get blamed on Republicans.

405
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 2: Even though Democrats obviously all are voting against this bill,

406
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 2: It's going to get blamed on Republicans.

407
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 11: That's not a good place. Absolutely, yeah, no, no, not

408
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 11: at all. In fact, on average, if the Trump tax

409
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 11: cuts expire at the end of twenty twenty five, the

410
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 11: average family would see about a thirty two hundred dollars

411
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 11: increase in taxes next year. And it's just not acceptable

412
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 11: because you know, while we do have our deficit problems,

413
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 11: I don't think it should fall back on the American

414
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 11: taxpayer at this point. I mean, we're trying this economy

415
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 11: is very delicate right now. While there are bright spots

416
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 11: here and there, I think President Trump and his Treasury

417
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 11: Secretary of Scott Descent have got a very good handle

418
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 11: on the direction they want to go. This tariff policy

419
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 11: is going to be good for bringing jobs back to

420
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 11: the United States. And you know where I come from

421
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 11: in the Midwest, you know, often referred to as the

422
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 11: rust belt. I've seen those jobs leave over the last

423
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 11: several decades, manufacturing jobs leaving and going overseas. I think

424
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 11: that's what President Trump, and I agree with him one

425
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 11: hundred percent, is focusing on bringing those jobs back. That's

426
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 11: going to help grow this economy and get us back

427
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 11: up to that three percent.

428
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 10: GDP number that we really need to be at.

429
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 11: So raising taxes would be just a detriment to not

430
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 11: only to the American family, but also to the federal budget.

431
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

432
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about the hair raising that

433
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: Democrats are doing about Medicaid because many many Americans, as

434
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 2: Claudia Tenny was just talking about, the vast majority of

435
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: Americans support and able bodied requirement to receive those benefits.

436
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: But not only that, you.

437
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: Have a legal immigrants who were on this, which as

438
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 2: I understand, there was a little bit of confusion about

439
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 2: this out of the Senate.

440
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: Apparently they did still.

441
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: Keep the provision that takes yes, millions of illegals off

442
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: of it.

443
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: So that's great, But.

444
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 2: Where do you stand on what the Democrats are saying

445
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: because to me it sounds like it's patently not true.

446
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 11: But I haven't read the whole bill. Now, this is

447
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 11: the Democrats fear mongering. In fact, sitting in the Budget Committee,

448
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 11: some of the things that they say on the other

449
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 11: side of the aisle are just patently false and so disingenuous.

450
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 11: And I think that's why people just finally turn off

451
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 11: Washington because they don't know what to believe. But I'll

452
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 11: tell you what, I think their lies are becoming so

453
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 11: extreme that the American people are finally saying, you know what.

454
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 10: That's just not believable.

455
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 11: And one of the things that we know from before

456
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 11: is when Democrats told us that they were going to

457
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 11: fix healthcare with passing Obamacare, it hasn't worked. In fact,

458
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 11: that's why there's more people on Medicaid today than ever

459
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 11: before because Obamacare has been an utter failure. We've seen

460
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 11: the cost of health care going up rather than coming down,

461
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 11: and they promised again they were going to.

462
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 10: Fix the cost of health care.

463
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 11: So this is the Democrats just simply fear mongering, trying

464
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 11: to scare the American people that they're going to lose

465
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 11: their health insurance because of these reforms. Again, if you're illegal,

466
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 11: you're going to lose your If you are on Medicaid,

467
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 11: you're going to lose it. If you're an able bodied individual,

468
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 11: you're not going to be allowed to be on medicaid

469
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 11: because you can work. And so this is where the

470
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 11: reforms have to come in. And I don't know if

471
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 11: you just saw recently, the Department of Justice, in fact,

472
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 11: just yesterday announced a major scam.

473
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 10: That's been going on.

474
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 11: About three hundred people indicted over a fourteen billion dollar

475
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 11: scam that has been going on. And so when Republicans

476
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 11: say there's waste frauded abuse, there really is, and the

477
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 11: Department of Justice is finding and I think we're going

478
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 11: to see more and more of this over the next

479
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 11: several years under the Trump administration, because Trump is determined

480
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 11: to not only save and strengthen medicated Medicare, but also

481
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 11: to root out waste frauded abuse.

482
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

483
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: I think when they named it us AID, they did

484
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: that on purpose so it would sound like us AID,

485
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 2: when in fact, it just seems to me like it's

486
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 2: been moneylaundering for liberal causes timeline wise. So President Trump

487
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: obviously wanted this on his desk by Friday.

488
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound to me like that's going to happen.

489
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 11: What do you think, Well, I'm actually optimistic tonight. I mean,

490
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 11: you know, there are still some that there's some negotiations

491
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 11: going on RUSS vote. The O and B director was

492
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 11: just here at the Capitol meeting with individuals.

493
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 10: You know, I think it's too risky to.

494
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 11: Send the bill back to the Senate at this point

495
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 11: because the Senate's already left town. We can come back

496
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 11: and meet again next week, which we're scheduled to do,

497
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 11: and where there's going.

498
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 10: To be recisions packages.

499
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 11: As you discussed, there's going to be appropriations packages. We

500
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 11: can still make changes in those particular bills. So this

501
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 11: isn't the last bill that Congress is going to pass

502
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 11: this year. There's going to be other opportunities, and I

503
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 11: think we need to focus on those. But let's get

504
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 11: this bill across the finish line so that way people,

505
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 11: especially small businesses, can plan what their tax rates are

506
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 11: going to be for twenty twenty six and beyond.

507
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, Congressman, people in the Senate get paid to be

508
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 2: in Washington and on behalf of all Americans. Don't feel

509
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: bad at all about making them come back and do

510
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: the work, because you guys certainly put in the work.

511
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: You guys I think created a real, as you said,

512
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 2: a really good product, and I hope that this can

513
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: can get passed through very very soon, because that tax

514
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: hike is We're staring down the business end of a

515
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: boning knife and it's not fun. Indiana Congressman Marlon Stetson,

516
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 2: thank you so much for being with us tonight.

517
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 10: You bet great to be with you.

518
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: Thank you likewise, yes, sir, all right?

519
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: Coming up after the break, General Michael is going to

520
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: be here to discuss how President Trump is remaking the

521
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: Middle East, as well as his new book.

522
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: Pardon of Innocence Does next.

523
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: People spend up to half of their waking hours on

524
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 2: their smartphones, and big tech reaps trillions from that time

525
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: while users get absolutely nothing. Mode Mobile is flipping that script.

526
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 2: Founded by Dan Novas, Mode Mobile created the earn phone.

527
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 2: It is a smartphone that pays users simply for doing

528
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 2: what they already do, reading, gaming, listening to music, even

529
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: charging their phones. It's part of a new digital equity

530
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 2: model where users finally share in the value of their attention.

531
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: But why now?

532
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 2: Fifty six percent of Americans don't have one thousand dollars

533
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 2: in savings, and forty five percent rely on side hustles

534
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: just to make ends meet.

535
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: Mode Mobile has.

536
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: Already delivered over three hundred and twenty five million dollars

537
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: in earnings and savings to more than fifty million users worldwide,

538
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: earning the title of fastest growing company in Software on

539
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: Deloitte's twenty twenty five lists with seventy five million in

540
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 2: lifetime revenue. And Mode isn't just a hardware company. It's

541
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: building a platform to license its earnos to global carriers

542
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 2: and phone makers, unlocking scalable, high margin growth while reaching

543
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: underserved markets worldwide. Big tech has monetized attention for decades.

544
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: Mode Mobile is giving that power back to the people.

545
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 2: And they're recently closed and oversubscribed forty six million dollar

546

Speaker 2: plus funding round and have already reserved their Nasdaq stock ticker.

547
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,800

553
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 2: and no Noise. President Trump has certainly not taken his

554
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: time on the foreign policy front.

555
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 9: So far.

556
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: He has brokened a ceasefire between Israel and Iran in

557
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: the Middle East after taking out Iran's nuclear facilities. He's

558
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: also figured out a way to get Israel to agree

559
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 2: to a ceasefire deal with Hamas. We're now just waiting

560
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 2: to see what Hamas will do. So how has the

561
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 2: President been able to so much and be so effective?

562
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: How's he been able to do it while pushing back

563
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: against the deep state at the same time. Joining us

564
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 2: now to talk about all of that. President Trump's former

565
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: national security advisor, retired Army Lieutenant general and best selling

566
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: author of his new book. It's called Pardon of Innocence

567
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: and it has been endorsed by President Trump himself, General

568
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 2: Michael Flynn. General, thanks so much for being with us tonight.

569
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 8: Absolutely, Amanda, thank you so much. Thanks for all that

570
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 8: you guys do. It justin New is amazing, I mean

571
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 8: really amazing what you guys have achieved and really a

572
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 8: short period of time over the last few years.

573
00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 9: So thanks for all that you're doing.

574
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: Well right back at you, and our audience just absolutely

575
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: loves you. I was just talking to my producer saying,

576
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 2: we have to have General Flynn on more often, you know,

577
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 2: as I as I was reading through that introduction, it

578
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: kind of it's surreal. It puts things a little bit

579
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: in perspective when you list off all of the accomplishments

580
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: just this term, not even the Abraham Accords from the

581
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 2: first term, and not even just the Middle East. One

582
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: of my favorite restaurants around here, our server was going

583
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: back to Kashmir to.

584
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: Spend time with his family.

585
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: So it spans the globe, the things that President Trump

586
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: has been able to accomplish. Do you think he'll get

587
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 2: recognition for it from people who have been his detractors

588
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: in the past.

589
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I do believe he's going to get recognized. I mean,

590
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 8: you have you know, the country government of Pakistan is

591
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 8: recommending him for the Nobel Peace Prize. People tend to

592
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 8: forget that it was only a couple of months ago

593
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 8: that he broke the peace deal between India and Pakistan,

594
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 8: who are two nuclear powers.

595
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 10: So that was a big, big deal.

596
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 8: And those are two giant nation states that were at

597
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 8: each other's throats. And Trump stepped in and said, you know,

598
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 8: with just with just his leadership is strong leadership and

599
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 8: the backing of the American people. And he stepped in

600
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 8: and that stopped at war overnight, and I think it.

601
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 9: Was just about a month ago.

602
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 8: The in fact, it was during the the Iran Israel

603
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 8: fighting that the government of Pakistan recommended Trump for the

604
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 8: Nobel Peace Prize. I know that there are a bunch

605
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 8: of other people, and there are some other nations that

606
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 8: are stepping up, but you know, the situation in the

607
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 8: Middle East is another dilemma that Trump has I think

608
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 8: acted appropriately. And one of the things that I had

609
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 8: mentioned to him was to trust his instincts. And I

610
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 8: think that his instincts have always.

611
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 9: Been very good.

612
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 8: I think from the beginning, well before he even ran

613
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 8: for president. Before I think even before he decided to

614
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 8: run for president, back in twenty fifteen timeframe, he was

615
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 8: talking about the fact that Iran should never have any

616
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 8: nuclear weapons. And he's been very consistent, and he's continued

617
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 8: to say that, you know, he's continued to watch the intelligence.

618
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 8: The one thing that I would say, as a reminder

619
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,239
Speaker 8: to your audience, and frankly to Trump too, and all

620
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 8: the people that are into the negotiations, my mother, my

621
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 8: mother said something to me a long time ago. She said,

622
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 8: my mother was a lawyer, she a great, great smart woman,

623
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 8: and she said, don't trust anybody, not even your mother.

624
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 8: And when it comes to negotiations, yeah, a mother of

625
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 8: nine children, when it comes to negotiations in the Middle East,

626
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 8: that is very very good guidance because you have fought

627
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 8: was being issued by the Comani regime. You've got Hamas

628
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 8: who hasn't responded to the essentially the agreement that was

629
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 8: reached between Israel and Hamas, and they haven't. They haven't

630
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 8: responded yet. We will see, you know, like like Trump

631
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 8: likes to say, sometimes we'll see. We'll see what happens here. Right,

632
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 8: And the one thing that is clear is that the

633
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 8: nuclear program for Iran was set back tremendously, and all

634
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 8: the noise from the left and all the leakers that

635
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 8: are in the that are still in the deep state

636
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 8: inside of the administration doesn't make any difference what they say.

637
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 8: The the pounding, the amazing capability that we demonstrated at

638
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 8: the United States Military demonstrated in the destruction of the

639
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 8: nuclear program, in the setting of it back, I mean

640
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 8: probably years. And what a lot of people don't know

641
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 8: about me, Amanda as I was at US Central Command

642
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 8: for a lot of number of years actually in the region,

643
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 8: and so I watched in the two thousand late two thousand,

644
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 8: let's just say six, seven, eight, nine, ten timeframes. So

645
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 8: in that five year period of time, I actually watched

646
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 8: the places like Fordau and the tons Esfahan being built.

647
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 8: So I know the structures of what those things are

648
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 8: and what they are capable of doing from there, and

649
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 8: what it would take to actually destroy those things. We've

650
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 8: been through our own targeting solutions over many years to

651
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 8: figure that out when I was in the military. So

652
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 8: I think what the President did to demonstrate a quality

653
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 8: and a quantity of strength that was sort of just right.

654
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,239
Speaker 8: It not only sent the message to Iran, but it

655
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 8: also sent a message to the Middle East. You mentioned

656
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 8: the Abraham Accords earlier, and I think that that's a

657
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 8: that's a real strong and real strength of Trump's first administration.

658
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 8: Those those countries in the Middle East, they will want

659
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 8: to get back on track with that, and they'll want

660
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 8: to get back on track with with Israel as well.

661
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 8: You're going to see a lot of, you know, back

662
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 8: room applauding of the way the Israelis handled the military

663
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 8: side of their of their operations against Iran. I mean,

664
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 8: an incredible exquisite level of military command, control, intelligence, targeting logistics,

665
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 8: you know, the whole gamut, and all of those countries

666
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 8: looking at that, I know that they were amazed because

667
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 8: most of them, in fact, I would say all of

668
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,719
Speaker 8: them cannot do it to the level that the Israelis

669
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 8: could and can. So that's a that's another sign of,

670
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 8: you know, for those countries that are in the Middle

671
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 8: East to say, hey, look, let's stop this madness of

672
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 8: constant conflict and let's go to a place where we

673
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 8: can really have a discussion about peace and about reconstruction.

674
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 9: Or building and improving lives.

675
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm one of the worst ones to talk about,

676
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 8: you know, Islam. I've written a book on that, another

677
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 8: national bestseller on that called Field of Fight, and you know,

678
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 8: it's how to win the War against Radical Islam and

679
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 8: its allies, the allies being China, Russia. I wrote that

680
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 8: book back in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen, and the

681
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 8: alliance against the West has not changed much.

682
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 9: What has changed is the.

683
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 8: Fact that now Donald Trump has been twice the president

684
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 8: of the United States, and the second time he's only

685
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 8: into his six six months here. And I think earlier

686
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 8: you were talking about the billback or the big beautiful Bill,

687
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 8: and where it's at right now back in the House.

688
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 8: I mean, what we get out of that is that

689
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 8: as a strength of the US economy and these other

690
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 8: countries are paying close attention. So this business about you know, Vietnam,

691
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 8: deals with Vietnam and and uh, I think Trump put

692
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 8: that out today. We have China on the ropes. We

693
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 8: have Russia Russia. Many people don't know this, but Russia

694
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 8: is is UH is relooking. It's it's uh military production.

695
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 9: Okay.

696
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 8: So Russia reported today in various circles that they are

697
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 8: relooking the manufacturing or the production of their military capabilities,

698
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 8: you know, weaponry and arms and ammunition and such. That

699
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 8: is a big indicator that the Russians and their economy

700
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 8: is also having difficult time because at a certain point

701
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 8: in time, you just can't afford these wars any longer.

702
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 8: And frankly, what does Trump want. Trump doesn't want to

703
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 8: go take over their countries. He doesn't want regime change

704
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 8: like everybody you know is screaming for in some cases,

705
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 8: and a lot of people in his own party in

706
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 8: the in the and I call it the Unit party

707
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 8: there in Washington, DC. They all the neocons, they want

708
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 8: regime change in in Moscow?

709
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 9: Right then, what then? What do you do?

710
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 10: Right then?

711
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 9: What happens?

712
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 8: And we've already learned from from regime change that we

713
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 8: have been involved in that they don't work, I really.

714
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 9: Really don't work.

715
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 8: So Trump is forcing the discussion globally about how do

716
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 8: we achieve peace. You can either work with us or

717
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 8: we will be your worst enemy.

718
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 9: That's right.

719
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 8: And Trump Trump is a really loyal guy if you

720
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 8: want to work with him, and that's right as circle.

721
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has just been absolutely incredible to watch, and

722
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: your commentary is so good. We've got to get you

723
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: back on very soon because I had at least four

724
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: other questions that I wanted to ask you, So we'll

725
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: do that again very soon. General Michael Flynn, author of

726
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 2: the new book Pardon of Innocence. Everybody go out and

727
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: buy it and all his other books too.

728
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining me, General.

729
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 2: All right, Next, we're going to talk about the economy

730
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 2: because buying a lot of metrics, buy a lot of metrics.

731
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: It's not doing very well.

732
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: So we still have foreign actress like China looking to

733
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: try and devalue the United States dollar. That is after

734
00:35:48,719 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 2: this break, welcome back every but we've seen some financial

735
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 2: ups and downs in the last few months, and I'm

736
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: sure that we are going to see more because that's

737
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: how it goes. And as we wait for the one big,

738
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 2: beautiful bill to be passed, that's obviously going to play

739
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 2: a part in it too. But President Trump has gotten

740
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 2: some huge wins on the economy, with the stock market

741
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: now surpassing record highs.

742
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: However, the US dollar has had.

743
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: To do some major fluctuations, and there's some news on

744
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: US treasuries that you're going to want to hear as well.

745
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 2: So joining us now to explain the CEO of American

746
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: Alternative Assets, Shannon Davis. Shannon, great to have you back

747
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 2: in to see you.

748
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 12: Yes, definitely, thanks for having me back and good to

749
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 12: see you Amanda.

750
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 2: Likewise, all right, so China just up and sells what

751
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 2: eight trillion dollars in US treasuries? What is this?

752
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 13: Yeah?

753
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 12: Yeah, Berkeley sold eight point two billion a million US

754
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 12: treasuries as.

755
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 13: The dollar extends massive losses.

756
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, China's US treasury holdings haven't dropped to this level

757
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 12: since two thousand and nine.

758
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 13: They sold eight billion in in April.

759
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 12: They've dropped now to the third largest holding right behind

760
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 12: the UK now, which interesting enough, UK wants their goal

761
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 12: back that we've been storing for them since the Cold War.

762
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 12: So lots of things happening, and yeah, you know, the

763
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 12: market's had a historical run here for this short period,

764
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 12: but all that's really done is make back the gains

765
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 12: that lost when we put the tariffs on. He paused them,

766
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 12: but those are getting ready to be unpaused come Tuesday

767
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 12: of next week. So just like you said, get ready

768
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 12: for the ups and the downs, they're going to continue

769
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 12: to happen.

770
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

771
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 2: So when you have a nation sell billions of dollars

772
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: worth of treasuries, does that indicate a lack of confidence

773
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: in our economy that they have? Why would they do that?

774
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's exactly it. You absolutely nailed it.

775
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 12: Trust has been weakening, but it's the twentieth century now

776
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 12: and things have changed drastic, you know. I know some

777
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 12: may believe that these other countries are struggling or they're scared,

778
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 12: but they're silently positioning themselves right where they want to.

779
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 13: I mean over this time that China, over the last.

780
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 12: What two three four years now, has been dumping treasuries.

781
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 12: They've also been acquiring two hundred tons of gold. Gold

782
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 12: is more desirable than ever now, So there's strategies on

783
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 12: both ends.

784
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: So if I know President Trump and his personality, for

785
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 2: another nation to disrespect the United States by making an

786
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: action that shows their lack of confidence in our economy,

787
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 2: I have to imagine that that ticks him off.

788
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: Quite a bit. But does it have anything to do

789
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: with Trump?

790
00:38:54,160 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 12: It really doesn't. I mean, look, Trump's gonna respond. At

791
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 12: face value, yeah, it looks good.

792
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 13: But again, at the end of the.

793
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 12: Day, all these economies are included, ours included. Has they've

794
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 12: come to a screeching halt? You know, it really comes

795
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 12: down to the dollar bill. It's off to its worst

796
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 12: start since the early seventies.

797
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 13: It's dropped eleven percent in value. Trump knows that clearly.

798
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 12: That's why he's positioning to you know, at some point

799
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 12: change our monetary system.

800
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 13: The dollars just no longer you know what it used

801
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 13: to be.

802
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 12: And you know, you know, all regimes, you know, all

803
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 12: empires come to an end. Have It's been like that

804
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 12: for six hundred years now, So it's going to be interesting.

805
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 2: So when it comes to gold, I was actually having

806
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 2: a conversation with a friend of mine recently and he

807
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 2: was asking me if we do own some gold and

808
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: a little safe somewhere.

809
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: Not nice, but he's wink wing.

810
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 9: We we were.

811
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 2: Talking about, you know, the prospect of him buying gold,

812
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 2: and he's like why, and I said, well, effectively, practically speaking,

813
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 2: it never goes down. So if you can buy some now,

814
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 2: it's just really only ever going to go out. Obviously

815
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: you have slight fluctuationsrom week to week, day to day,

816
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 2: month to month, but we're not real really not even

817
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: month to month, right, I mean, it's really just day

818
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: to day and week to week, but consistently, consistency, the

819
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 2: thread line is always going.

820
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 13: Up, exactly.

821
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 12: If you look at the history of gold and silver

822
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 12: over the last twenty years, gold's up nearly seven hundred percent,

823
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 12: which is to give or take about thirty three percent annually.

824
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 12: And yes, you have your fluctuations, and that's because of

825
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 12: the stock market, because of paper gold paper assets. They

826
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 12: have to liquidate these option positions, these future contracts that

827
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 12: are being held, and so that's why you'll see that

828
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 12: markets are strong or job reports are strong. Goes down.

829
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 12: Uncertainty globally, geopolitically, it goes up, but it doesn't fluctuate drastically.

830
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 12: It is why to answer why, it's preservation. It's to

831
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 12: preserve your wealth, and you're purchasing power.

832
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 13: The dollar bills that people have.

833
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 12: In their bank accounts or in their investments accounts are

834
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 12: not the same dollars that they're taking out five years later,

835
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 12: if they're even dollar bills anymore.

836
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 13: Right, gold and silver always will be gold and silver.

837
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 13: It's real money.

838
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 12: I mean Texas, for example, they just got it approved

839
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 12: where literally you're going to have a debit card backed

840
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 12: with gold and silver.

841
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: I know.

842
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 2: It's so great, that is it's like the ultimate bling.

843
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: It's so great.

844
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 10: Da.

845
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 8: Yeah.

846
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 12: Instead of you know, pulling out pulling out a diamond

847
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 12: out of your pocket, you're pulling out a basically a

848
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 12: gold or silver credit card.

849
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 9: Physical.

850
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:57,919

876
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 2: it all right. Time to turn to our attention or

877
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 2: turn our attention to American energy, specifically what the Big

878
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 2: Beautiful Bill has to say about it, specifically solar and

879
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 2: we know that America has to produce much more energy

880
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 2: to win the Ai War against China and against China,

881
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 2: and China has been investing heavily in solar.

882
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: Is it worth it for the United States too as well?

883
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,919
Speaker 2: And what about these personal solar panels that you see

884
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 2: on people's houses?

885
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: Joining me now to discuss it all.

886
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: Policy director at Solar United Neighbors, Glenn Brand.

887
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: Glenn, thanks so much for being here.

888
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 16: Glad to be here. Ameda.

889
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 2: All right, So I hail from California. I see tons

890
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 2: of houses there with these solar panels on them. It

891
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 2: seems like, especially for private use, it's becoming a lot

892
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: more popular. Now, separate that away from the commercial use

893
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 2: where they raid fields and stuff and put a bunch

894
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: of solar panels out there. I'm setting that aside, but

895
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 2: have it on people's houses. It seems to be really

896
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: ticking up in popularity. Is that reflected in the One

897
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 2: Big Beautiful Bill.

898
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 17: Well, as you said, it's not just California course, but

899
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 17: residential rooftop solar.

900
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 16: It's a rapidly growing technology.

901
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 17: It's popular because it allows families to reduce their energy bills,

902
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 17: their utility bills, and then crete their homes energy security

903
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 17: and claim their energy freedom. You know, that's why there

904
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 17: are over five million rooftops solar systems across the US

905
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 17: and that represents just give us a sense of the scale,

906
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 17: that represents thirty six gigawatts a capacity. One gigawat is

907
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 17: equal to about what a typical nuclear reactor produces, So

908
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 17: thirty six new plants.

909
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 16: It's a lot of power.

910
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 17: And unfortunately, the Senate bill passed yesterday is going to

911
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 17: drive up energy costs and put solar out of reach.

912
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 16: For millions across the US.

913
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 17: One estimate says a seven percent average hike in energy prices,

914
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 17: and there are others out there that are pretty similar.

915
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 17: And the specifically, what the bill, the Senate bill does

916
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 17: is repeal the thirty percent residential solar tax credit by

917
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 17: the end of this year, and that's that's going to

918
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 17: make it much more difficult for people to afford to

919
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 17: go solar.

920
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 16: Of course, if you have a twenty four thousand.

921
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 17: Dollars system rooftop system, for example, well thirty percent of

922
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 17: that is eight thousand, So a solar system is going

923
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 17: to become eight thousand dollars more expensive next year than

924
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 17: this year. So that's going to have a big impact.

925
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 17: That means fewer people are going to invest in solar,

926
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 17: and that means the solar installers and suppliers are.

927
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 16: Going to reduce their workforce and many are going to

928
00:45:59,280 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 16: go out of business.

929
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 17: And the vast majority of residential solar installers are local

930
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 17: small businesses and they're the ones that are going.

931
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 16: To be hurt the most. So that's the problem with

932
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 16: what the Senate has done.

933
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 17: And you know, the just to be clear, this thirty

934
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 17: percent residential tax credit was on the books in two

935
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 17: thousand and five. This is not a part of the IRA.

936
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 17: This was passed under the George W. Bush administration and

937
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 17: that Congress and has been renewed in numerous times. It

938
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 17: was due to be phased out by twenty thirty two,

939
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 17: and this bill would eliminate it in six months.

940
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 16: So that's the concern here.

941
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 17: If you know, there's really only two ways to reduce

942
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 17: your energy bills. One is to use less energy through

943
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 17: energy efficiency, you know, installation in your home and you know, smarter,

944
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 17: better appliances and that kind of thing. And then the

945
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 17: others to have cheaper fuel, and solar provides free fuel.

946
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 17: And so if you take those two options away, By

947
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 17: the way, the thirty percent tax credit also applied to

948
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 17: energy efficiency for consumers, then what's somebody to do. They're

949
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 17: going to have they're going to be stuck paying the

950
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 17: higher and continually rising energy prices that the utilities charge

951
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 17: us with.

952
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's incredible, Okay, So taking away that thirty percent

953
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 2: tax hike. So does that mean if you already have solar,

954
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 2: then it doesn't affect them. It doesn't affect them too.

955
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 17: No, if you already have solar, you've already taken your

956
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 17: thirty percent tax credit.

957
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 10: Good for you.

958
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 17: But if you want to go solar, you really have

959
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 17: six months to do it if you want that tax credit.

960
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 16: Otherwise next year.

961
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 17: If you don't have that, you know, up front money,

962
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 17: as many of us don't, then it's going to be

963
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 17: even harder to afford it.

964
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 16: And that's a shame because it couldn't just.

965
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 17: Help the individual who now saves money and electricity.

966
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 16: But you know, we're going to need an age of

967
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 16: growing energy demand. We're going to need every electron and the.

968
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 17: Grid is understressed for all kinds of complicated reasons, and

969
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 17: so we can't say no and all of the above

970
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 17: energy strategy, in our view, it's got to include solar.

971
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 17: It's not the only thing. But it's got to include solar,

972
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 17: and from a consumer's point of view, which is what

973
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 17: I care about the most. You know, if you take

974
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 17: away the tax credit, which was due to it to

975
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 17: sunset in twenty thirty two, anyway, you're just going to

976
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 17: make it much more difficult for people and then they're

977
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 17: going to be stuck with higher energy bills. I can't

978
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 17: recall ever my utility lowering my rates and that's why

979
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 17: we're stuck.

980
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, you know, on the show, we talk to

981
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 2: people from the coal industry, from natural gas, you know,

982
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 2: petroleum across the board, and they all talk about the

983
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: tapestry that is the American energy producer of climate and that,

984
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 2: as you said, includes solar. We've only got about forty

985
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 2: five seconds left. I wanted to ask you, so, if

986
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 2: this is not included in the Senate bill, are you

987
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 2: talking to people in the House or is someone talking

988
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 2: to people in the House about making sure it's back

989
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 2: in there.

990
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:52,959
Speaker 13: Yeah.

991
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 17: Well, we're asking, you know, the House to make changes

992
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 17: to restore the tax credit or maybe extend you know,

993
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 17: at least few years out so there's more predictability for

994
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 17: the tax credit. That would be a sounder way to

995
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 17: do this than an abrupt cliff. And so we are

996
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 17: talking and we're encouraging everyone solar owners or somebody who

997
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 17: want to become a solar owner to contact their house

998
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 17: member and tell them they want the right to be

999
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 17: able to go solar. They want that energy and solar

1000
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 17: independence and freedom that solar provides.

1001
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 16: And so we set up a website. I'll plug it

1002
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:26,439
Speaker 16: if you don't mind.

1003
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 17: It's safsolar dot org and makes it easy for people

1004
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 17: to click and send a message to a House member.

1005
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 16: And you got to do this now because they're debating

1006
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 16: the bill. That's right, they're likely to vote on it tomorrow.

1007
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 1: Happening as we speak.

1008
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 2: Glenn Brand, policy director at Solar United Neighbors, thanks so

1009
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,479
Speaker 2: much for joining me tonight. All right, everybody, we will

1010
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 2: not be here tomorrow night because President Trump has a

1011
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 2: rally in Iowa and we've got.

1012
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: A whole crew flying out there.

1013
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 2: It's going to be amazing rally coverage like it used

1014
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: to be in the good old days when President Trump

1015
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 2: was campaigning. So you're going to want to make sure

1016
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 2: you tune in for that. But we will be back

1017
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 2: for a Fourth of July special on Friday,
