1 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: Good evening, everyone, welcome to Stinchfield. This President Trump heads 2 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,159 Speaker 1: to the Middle East. The winning continues. We now have 3 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: a deal with China. This is great news. It's huge. 4 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: The tariffs now will be thirty percent on Chinese goods 5 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: coming into the United States. That's down from one hundred 6 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: and forty five percent. China will tariff the United States 7 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: at ten percent, and it was well over one hundred 8 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: percent before this deal came through. So what does this do. One, 9 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: It takes some, if not all, of the uncertainty out 10 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: of this that was making the stock markets so jittery. 11 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: It also proves to the world that the United States, China, 12 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: President Trump, and Jijing Ping's teams can communicate, negotiate, and 13 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: come to an agreement with each other. So this is 14 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: a ninety day deal as all of the details are 15 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: then worked out. But overall the markets were up big 16 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: time three and a half percent depending on which market 17 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: you looked at, but across the board, big big gains today. 18 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: This was President Trump. 19 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 2: The talks in Geneva were very friendly. The relationship is 20 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 2: very good. We're not looking to hurt China. China is 21 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 2: being hurt very badly. They were closing up factories. They 22 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: were having a lot of unrest and they were very 23 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: happy to be able to do something with us. And 24 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 2: the relationship is very, very good. I'll speak to President 25 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 2: she maybe at the end of the week. We have 26 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: some other things we're doing. 27 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: All great news. So again, this is about respect for 28 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: President Trump. It's about a return of manufacturing to the 29 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: United States. And in many respects, you could call this 30 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: a set of the US economy that is so dependent 31 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: on China for so many things. So we've got one 32 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nations talking to the United States. We 33 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: got to deal with the United Kingdom. That's great news. 34 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: Now we have a deal with China. I told you 35 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: last week. As these deals come through, the dominoes would 36 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: start to fall and investment in the United States would 37 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: be increased. President Trump again. 38 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: I spoke to Tim Cook this morning, and he's gonna, 39 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: I think even up his. 40 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: Numbers five hundred billion dollars. 41 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: He's gonna be building a lot of plants in the 42 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: United States for Apple. 43 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: And we look forward to that. I really do look 44 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: forward to that. We sure do. Now let me give 45 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: you one spot where I slightly disagree with President Trump. 46 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: President Trump calls our trade deficit with China, in particular 47 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: a national emergency. I actually look at trade deficits. It's 48 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: not the worst thing in the world. Think about it. 49 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: If we were exporting all of our goods to China 50 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: and we were relying on China to buy those goods, 51 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: we would be the ones behind the eight ball. Instead, 52 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: it's the exact opposite. When you think about a trade deficit. 53 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: The United States is the great buyer of goods and services. 54 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: We produce most of our own goods and services. Our 55 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: own country eats them up. Okay, we only import about 56 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: fifteen percent of the goods into this country. That's it. 57 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: So this gives us an advantage. Also adding to the 58 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: trade deficit is America is the great country where everybody 59 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: wants to invest. So you have four dollars flowing into 60 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: the United States to invest in this country. That's a 61 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: good thing. You wouldn't want everyone rushing to Italy or 62 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: France or England to invest there. Instead they rush here. 63 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: That adds to the dred deficit. I don't think it 64 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: is that big a deal. Again, this deal is about 65 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: President Trump not only being respected but also feared. Here's 66 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: Scott Best at the Treasury Secretary. 67 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 3: To happen is it has to be fair for the 68 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: American people. But in January twenty twenty, President Trump produced 69 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 3: a template. We had an excellent trade agreement with China, 70 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: and the Biden administration chose not to enforce it. That 71 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 3: the Chinese delegation basically told us that once President Biden 72 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 3: came into office, they just ignored their obligations. 73 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: Well, they ignored their obligations because I believe Joe Biden 74 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: his family was on the take. China was enriching them 75 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: at every step of the way. We know this from 76 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden dealings. So that made a lot of sense. Now, 77 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: though the media has to eat crow, they won't. They'll 78 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: make excuses for everything, But in the end they had 79 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: to admit the markets were up with They were told 80 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: us we were headed straight into a recession. Doom and 81 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: Gloom watched this. 82 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 4: Stocks do looked to sore three percent of the open 83 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 4: as those US China trade talks bring a ninety day 84 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 4: pause on those high tariff levels. 85 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 5: Right now, markets around the world are rallying on. 86 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 6: The news as adding rocket fuel to the markets today 87 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 6: and boosting hopes for Americans. 88 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: Bottom line up nearly one thousand points. 89 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: Investors are very eager to see the world's two biggest 90 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: economies stepping back from the brink. 91 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: I love it, and if you've got a four oh 92 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: one k you should love it too. But not all 93 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: should be looked at as this is the big victory. 94 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: In fact, there's a lot of work to get done 95 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: to make sure that China doesn't get the big upper 96 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: hand advantage here. With that, I want to bring in 97 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: now the author of the new book Plan Read China's 98 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: Project to Destroy America. Our friend Gordon Chang is with us. Gordon, 99 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: it's great to see you. Welcome back. Thank you so much. Grant. 100 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: All right, do you have any warnings about this deal 101 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: or is it a good deal? Should we be cautious? 102 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: What do you think? 103 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 7: I think we should be cautious because what President Trump 104 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 7: today talked about was China opening up its markets to 105 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 7: the United States. This is something that Americans have wanted 106 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 7: for decades, actually centuries, and you know, we have seen 107 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 7: China violated it's trade promises to us in the past, 108 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 7: not only the Phase one trade deal that Secretary percent 109 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 7: just talked about, but also China's accession to the World 110 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 7: Trade Organization in two thousand and one, which was supposed 111 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 7: to change China. 112 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: So we'll see. I think what. 113 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 7: President Trump did was he offered the Chinese an off ramp, 114 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 7: probably the last off ramp before the Chinese become a 115 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 7: collision into the United States and the rest of the world, 116 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 7: because the United States and the rest of the world, 117 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 7: they're pretty sick and fed up with China's predatory trade practices. 118 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 7: Plus also is China's theft of US intellectual property, and 119 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 7: that's what American teriffts were meant to prevent. So we'll 120 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 7: see if the Chinese actually take that off ramp and 121 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 7: end up in a good deal with everybody. 122 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: All right, So currency manipulation is one way they tip 123 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: the scales in their favor. You think that stops here 124 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: they stop breaking into American companies and stealing intellectual property. 125 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 7: Probably not the currency of manipulation right now, the remendy 126 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 7: is weak. The remenby is weak because the Chinese economy 127 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 7: is weak. I think that it's actually contracting. So basically 128 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 7: what you have in China is cijmping needs to come 129 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 7: to some sort of terms with the United States, which 130 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 7: is the reason why this deal came about really quickly. 131 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 7: But yeah, there are a lot of things that China 132 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 7: does that steal our ip and they also just they 133 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 7: have a system which is designed to shut out foreign 134 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 7: goods and to export their own, and countries including the 135 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 7: United States, no longer want to put up with that. 136 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: All right, So the details of this tariff deal is 137 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: the tariffs actually go to ten percent, but we're say 138 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: thirty percent because twenty percent remains for the fentanyl issue 139 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: with China. President Trump and his team says China's working 140 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: in that. On that, Gordon actually believe it's not just 141 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: China senny fentanyl to profit off of. I actually believe 142 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: it was an act of war, and I think they 143 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: were engaging and trying trying to purposefully kill Americans with 144 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: the fentanyl. I don't want them. The skates got free 145 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: for that. 146 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 7: I agree with you one hundred percent. You know, Sijanping 147 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 7: made promises to stop the fentanyl trade to President Biden 148 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 7: in twenty twenty three, to President Trump in twenty eighteen, 149 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 7: and to President Obama in twenty sixteen. They continue this 150 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 7: because they want to kill Americans. We know that in 151 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 7: China's total surveillance state, the fentanyl gangs couldn't operate without 152 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 7: the knowledge and approval of the Communist Party. Some of 153 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 7: the fentanyl producers are state owned. Chinese diplomats have covered 154 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 7: to the gangs. Every container that leaves China is inspected 155 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 7: by officials the Chinese fentanyl gangs. They launder their proceeds 156 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 7: through the Chinese state banking system. Chinese owned TikTok promotes 157 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 7: illicit drug use in the United States. The list goes 158 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 7: on and on. Grant, of course, this is deliberate policy, 159 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 7: and that means the Americans who die from what we 160 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 7: call fentnyl overdoses, those are murderers. 161 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they sure are. Last question, I guess for you, Jijingping, 162 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: how do you think he's reacting privately to this. I mean, 163 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: we did put the squeeze on him. I heard there 164 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: were container ships that were backed up in ports, not 165 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: ready to leave, that this was going to do great 166 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: damage to the economy. They were already feeling the squeeze. 167 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: What do you think he's thinking. 168 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 7: Tonight, sigh of relief. He's going to get through Christmas 169 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 7: season because for Chinese factories, this is the beginning of Christmas. 170 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 7: And also I think that he's probably trying to figure 171 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 7: out how he can gain President Trump beyond the ninety 172 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 7: day pause. I don't think that Trump is going to 173 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 7: want to be gained by Siegean Ping. So this is 174 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 7: going to be a time which is I think critical 175 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 7: for China because if they don't come to a deal 176 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 7: with the US, President Trump can just hammer them. 177 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and President trumb has said that. That's why he 178 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: continue to say over and over again, we have the 179 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: cards in so many of the situations across the world, 180 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: including Ukraine as well. Gordon Chang, it's always great to 181 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: see you. I appreciate you coming on. Thank you for 182 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: your insight in all of this. Thank you. Grim Absolutely 183 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: don't forget the book Plan Read by Gordon Chang. It's great. 184 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: All of his work is fascinating stuff. We appreciate when 185 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: he comes on the program. So what do you think 186 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: the media's reaction was to all of this? Okay, how 187 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: can you not be happy about this? Right now? The 188 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: United States is going to be collecting taras from China. 189 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: The stock markets are now above where they were on 190 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: April second, when we had Liberation Day announce and the 191 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: stock market collapse. Stocks are back up above that point. Well, 192 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: this is representative Dan Goldman. Now he's not a member 193 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: of the media, but he plays the media. They're all 194 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: working together here, Democrat rolling. But again, this is all 195 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: just a charade. There's no objective to this. 196 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 8: You are not going to go back to the nineteen 197 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 8: fifties with our economy. Our economy is going to move forward. 198 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 8: There's going to be technological improvements. We're not going to 199 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 8: go back to dirty coal as the solution to everything. 200 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: What is he talking about. We now have clean coal technology. 201 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: We don't ever have to go back to dirty coal. 202 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: That's the dirty secret that he doesn't want you to 203 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: know about. And nobody's talking about nineteen fifty economy. We're 204 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: talking about economy moving into the future. President Trump, the 205 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: AI president, the cryptocurrency president, you name it. This man 206 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: is moving at the speed of light. So Dan Goldbman 207 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: absolutely wrong there. Then ABC tries to spend this deal 208 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: as a loss. 209 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 5: When this is a breakthrough in talks between the world's 210 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 5: two largest economies. But it's also a dramatic retreat from 211 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 5: President Trump's one hundred and forty five percent tariffs that 212 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 5: he imposed on Chinese imports. 213 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: Skip all right, So as you can see, trying to 214 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: pose this as some kind of losters the way you 215 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: can pose this as a loss. We're gonna talk a 216 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: little bit later in the program. But the prescription drug 217 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: deal that President Trump offered up this executive order that 218 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: is literally a Democrat plan. How they're going to spend this, 219 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: We'll talk about it later in the program. Here's another 220 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: little bit of the mainstream media at work, all right, 221 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: specifically ABC. President Trump is going to the Middle East. 222 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: I expect big things to come out of this trip, 223 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: including a big gift from Cutter Qatar, as President Trump 224 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: likes to call them. We should be getting a seven 225 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: forty seven that will replace Air Force one. It will 226 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: have to be retrofitted, of course, to make it compliant 227 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: for President Trump to use with all the safety and 228 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: security applications on it. This is a four hundred million 229 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: dollar gift. Well, how does the mainstream media react to this? 230 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: Watch isident? 231 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 5: You're saying, people who view got luxury and Jedi a 232 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 5: person all to get to you, why not leave it? 233 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 9: You're ABC fake news only only ABC. Well a few 234 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 9: of you would, let me tell you, you should be 235 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 9: embarrassed to ask him the question. They're giving us a 236 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 9: free jet. I could say, no, no, no, don't give us. 237 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 9: I want to pay you a billion or four hundred 238 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 9: million or whatever it is, or I could say thank 239 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 9: you very much. You know, there was an old golfer 240 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 9: named Sam Sneed Did you ever hear me in one 241 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 9: eighty two tournament? Was a great golfer and he had 242 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 9: a motto. When they give you a putt, you say 243 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 9: thank you very much, You pick up your ball, and 244 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 9: you walk to the next hole. 245 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 10: A lot of people are stupid. 246 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 9: They say no, no, I insist start putting it, and 247 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 9: then they put it and they missed it and their 248 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 9: partner gets angry at them. 249 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 10: You know what, remember that Sam Snead, When. 250 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 9: They give you a putt, you pick it up and 251 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 9: you walk to the next hole, and you say, thank 252 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 9: you very much. 253 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 10: We're second you. 254 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 11: This man, sorry, may we're at it and say. 255 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 5: Have you ever been given a gift worth millions of dollars? 256 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 9: And then he's not a gift to me, it's a 257 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 9: gift to the Department of Defense. And you should know 258 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 9: better because you've been embarrassed enough, and so has your network. 259 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 9: Your network is a disaster. ABC is a disaster. 260 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: I don't want that man schooling the media. What dopes 261 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: to By the way, what a dandong woman that is 262 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: to be asking such a stupid question. So we take 263 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: the four hundred million dollar jet. It's less four hundred 264 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: million less than we have to spend, Thank you very much. 265 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: President Trump is going to take the current air force 266 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: one's going to be put in his new Presidential library, 267 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: and the Department of Defense gets gets the new aircraft 268 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: from Cutter. So this is this is great news, all right. 269 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: Turning now to the Democrats and how nutty they are. 270 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: All right, do you know they're still outside of this 271 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: ice facility in New Jersey. You have so called faith 272 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: leaders now showing up to call attention to the MS 273 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: thirteen gang members and rape and child predators and sex 274 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: traffickers that are inside. 275 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 4: They feel sorry for them. Why do they always resort 276 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 4: to stupid songs? They're not even good at singing. There's 277 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 4: nothing fascist about locking. 278 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: Up brutal killers, gang members, bruisers, thieves, and rapists. Okay, 279 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: America is behind locking those types of people up. The 280 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: Democrats clearly aren't. This is one of the leftist faith 281 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: leaders talking about why they're there. 282 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 12: We're here because it's important to stop this, to draw 283 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 12: attention to what's happening in this facility. 284 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: And we're not going to be moved. 285 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 12: Well, we'll be here as long as it takes until 286 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 12: people start to realize this is not acceptable. 287 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: You gotta shake your head. This is not a winning argument. 288 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: And then Democrat leaders they expose themselves. This is representative Mackivor. 289 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: She was one of the loons that tried to storm in. 290 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: Literally there's a video of her trying to storm in 291 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: through the gates. Okay, this is her. I think it's 292 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: a call for violence. I really do. We will not 293 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: take this. We will fight back. 294 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 5: And as I calls out, because I've never been out 295 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 5: here for a long time, and god damn it shut down, 296 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 5: the city. 297 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: Water local standing right behind her, crazy Maxine Waters get 298 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: in their faces. Remember these people are lunatics. They're dangerous. Also, 299 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: thank god we are where we are right now. Think 300 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: about if the other side would have won through all 301 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: of this. All right, Joining me now, political consultant, former 302 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: advisor to President Trump, and a graduate of my Alba 303 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: out of John Jay High School in Cross River, New York, 304 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: from the Stone Zone. Roger Stone is with us. Roger, 305 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: it is great to see you. It's been too long, 306 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: my friend. 307 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 13: Great to be back with you and salute our many 308 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 13: classmates at John Jay High School. 309 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: Absolutely so, I'll bet you there's a few from Westchester 310 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: County that are siding with these crazy Democrats. But what 311 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: do you make of what's going on in Newark, New 312 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: Jersey today? 313 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 13: Well, first of all, looking at the average age of 314 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 13: those protesters, I think the average age was de ceased. Look, 315 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 13: this is very clear what's happened here. Three members of Congress, 316 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 13: Congressman Robert Mendez, Congresswoman Lamonica mciverney, New York Member of 317 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 13: Congress Bonnie Watson Coleman, acting in violational law, body slamming 318 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 13: ICE agents, claiming without foundation that they have some oversight 319 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 13: authority that's bestowed upon them as a member of congres 320 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 13: to act violently and to foment violence. I think there's 321 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 13: two questions here. One, will they be prosecuted? And be 322 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 13: why are not being expelled from the US House of Representatives. 323 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 13: If any Republican acted like this in the days after 324 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 13: January sixth, that's what the Democrats. 325 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: Would be screaming. 326 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 13: And then there's the mayor of Newark, Grant, who has 327 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 13: really catapulted into the rank of front runners in New 328 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 13: Jersey's Democrat primary for governor. Mayor rask Baraka, who has 329 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 13: used this stunt, this campaign stunt to vault to the 330 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 13: head of that race. 331 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting though, because I do believe it's 332 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: a stunt. I think it's wildly miscalculating. You know, the 333 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: woman who was in the red that were playing the 334 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: body camp footage while you were just speaking, that's mcguy 335 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: for literally throwing punches at people, pushing and shoving. Now, 336 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: how do you justify this? You have been so instrumental 337 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: in running people's campaigns and leading people to victory. This 338 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: is not an issue you want your candidate on. But 339 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: they got a lot of candidates out there. 340 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 13: Roger, Yeah, it's very hard to understand where the votes 341 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 13: are in supporting violent non US residents remaining in the 342 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 13: United States. All of this craziness about the gentleman who's 343 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 13: an El Salvador resident, beat his wife, responsible for multiple 344 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 13: murders Albrega. This guy has no right to be in 345 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 13: the United States. Just the Democrats have pitched their ten 346 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 13: around standing for him as if he has the rights 347 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 13: of a US citizen, which of course he does not have. 348 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 13: The old Democrat Party, the Party of John Kennedy, the 349 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 13: Party of Harry Truman, the Party of common sense. I 350 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 13: don't think that party exists anymore. Grant they have become 351 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 13: a party of Marxist lunatics. And this stunt might win 352 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 13: you a statewide Demo primary, but I don't think it'll 353 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 13: win you a statewide election in New Jersey. 354 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: Now, if they keep it up, I think it will 355 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: most certainly solidify that Republicans keep the United States Senate 356 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: because Americans just don't want this. Before I let you go, 357 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: what do you make of the mainstream media? You saw 358 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: the clips before we got to you about you have 359 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: ABC CNN trying to chalk up this China deal as 360 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: a loss. They do everything they can. They can't even 361 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: admit when something is going in the right direction. 362 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 13: No, the real point of court here is that what 363 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 13: President Trump did work almost perfectly, jacking up the Chinese 364 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 13: tariffs to one hundred and forty five percent is what 365 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 13: brought them to the table. And then we've learned from 366 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 13: Secretary of the Treasury Besson, who to my mind, could 367 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 13: be the greatest Secretary of the Treasury since Alexander Hamilton, 368 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 13: that the framework of a trade deal that was in 369 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 13: place when Donald Trump left office at the end of 370 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 13: his first term, was essentially ignored by the Chinese and 371 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 13: by Joe Biden, and really the most important thing they 372 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 13: did in their negotiations in Geneva was to put that 373 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 13: framework back in place. So this is a big win 374 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 13: for the Republicans when you add to it, and they're 375 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 13: going to be talking about this the coming almost eighty 376 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 13: percent potential cut in prescription drug prices. This is going 377 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 13: to solidify the working class, middle class base that elected 378 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 13: Donald Trump. And he delivers again and again and again, 379 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 13: whether it's a ceasefire between Pakistan and India, whether it's 380 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 13: getting the Russians and the Ukrainians at the table. I 381 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 13: wouldn't be shocked, grant if when he is in Rita 382 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 13: visiting with the Saudies, I wouldn't be shocked to see 383 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 13: him jump over to Turkey and join the talks between 384 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 13: the Russians and the Ukrainians if he thinks it will 385 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 13: further the effort to end that conflict as well. 386 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: Well, that's how involved he is. I wouldn't put it 387 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: past him either. Great stuff. As always, Roger Stone, I 388 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: urge people to watch your podcast The Stone Zone. We 389 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: appreciate you coming on.

That is Eden Alexander, 410 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: the last American slash Israeli hostage born here in the 411 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: United States, went and fought for one of the elite 412 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: forces for the IDF was captured on that faithful October 413 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: seventh day. He had been through hell. I had him 414 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: handcuffed in a cage, beaten, tortured, you name it. This 415 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: is the Assistant Secretary of Defense explaining how he was released. 416 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 6: What is interesting about this one is that Hamas essentially 417 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 6: did it without conditions, basically as a deliverable for President 418 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 6: Trump as he gets on the airplane to the Middle East. 419 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 6: And at this point Israel's completely resistant, according to Prime 420 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 6: Minister Netanyaho, for anything related to a broader ceasefire, although 421 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 6: other late breaking. 422 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 15: News is that an Israeli team is heading back to 423 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 15: Cutter right now to resume negotiations that Cutter and Egypt 424 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 15: have been facilitating to get all of the remaining hostages 425 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 15: out of Gaza in exchange for a longer ceasefire. 426 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm not one for a ceasefire. You have to destroy Hamas. 427 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: No ceasefire. In my book, we will not rest people 428 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: that believe and think like me, and I believe Benjamin 429 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: Netanyaho is one of them. Until every one of those 430 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: violent terrorists is dead. Now, we still have hostages. Americans 431 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: are around the world that are being held hostage by 432 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: evil regimes, including Venezuela. You know, I've been very big 433 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: on covering this topic. So Venezuela holds at least five 434 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: other American hostages, including the three week profile you see 435 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: on your screen there, Joe Saint Clair, the Air Force 436 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: veteran in the minneral is Wilbert Castaeda, an active duty 437 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: Navy seal, and then Renzo Castillo, who's a US permanent resident. 438 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: We've interviewed all of their families, so we want them home. 439 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: We're doing everything we can do to put pressure on 440 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: the Trump administration to get them home, and they've said 441 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: they're doing everything they can to make sure that they 442 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: get home. I want to bring in now a man 443 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: who was released by Maduro, who's part of the six 444 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: that Rick Grinnell brought home back in back in February 445 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: I believe it was, and his name is David Estrella. 446 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad he is back on US soil. David, Welcome 447 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: to the program. 448 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 16: Welcome, thank you actually for this time.

I want to hear 451 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: about your story. But first and foremost, the three gentlemen 452 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: that I put on the screen, were you with them? 453 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: Can you confirm they were alive when you left? I 454 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: guess in February or March when you came back to 455 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: the United States. 456 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 16: It broke up a little bit, but I think you 457 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 16: asked for about the three persons that you just mentioned, 458 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 16: the three guys. 459 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 10: I was actually with them. We were together. 460 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 16: Happens that at some point they moved all six of us. 461 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 16: There were six people at least in my group. Out 462 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 16: of those six, four were released and stay behind was 463 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 16: Joseph Casana in Saint Clair that were located in our aisle, 464 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 16: the Renzo Fabian another one permanent resident uh and there's 465 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 16: Jonathan Pagan Gonzalez as another US American, and Lucas Hunter 466 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 16: Orse also Whoreey Maselo bargains Is other Americans. They were 467 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 16: in another location, within a different building. But we were 468 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 16: all together at some point where we were there, all right, So. 469 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: It takes great solace that you had seen them alive 470 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: when Venezuela's refusing to give proof of life to these families. 471 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: Now take me back to your story. I know they 472 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: accused you of espionage, they accused you of of a 473 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: plot to kill Maduro. All of it was absolutely ridiculous. 474 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: Again along the border Venezuela and Columbia seems where everybody 475 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: was taken from. Can you take me through what it 476 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: was like? Did they torture you? Did they treat you? 477 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 8: Well? 478 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: How was it when you were in captivity? Well? 479 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 16: To start, I went to, uh, the the right channels. 480 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 16: I actually crossed the border handed my passport. 481 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:05,479 Speaker 14: Uh. 482 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 16: They saw that I was an American, and they said 483 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 16: I need to do another interview with them. Since I 484 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 16: don't have anything to hide, I say, great, let's you know, 485 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 16: let's go ahead. And they asked me questions, who are 486 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 16: you going to see? 487 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 10: What you hear? Et cetera, et cetera. 488 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 16: And then they said, after an hour of questioning, they 489 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 16: said we need to continue this interrogation or this questioning 490 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 16: some other place. So three police officers National Police took me. 491 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 16: They drove about a quarter a kilometer, I will say, 492 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 16: and they stop. They put a hood over my head 493 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 16: and handcuffed me and they said that that was normal 494 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 16: and that they were going to take me to another place. 495 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 10: It's kind of weird. Uh, you get scared. 496 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 16: Because you've never been I mean with a hood over 497 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 16: your head and then handcuffed with no reason. They didn't 498 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 16: give you a reason why they were doing it, just 499 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 16: that they were going to interrogate you a bit longer 500 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 16: at another location. 501 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 10: So they did. While they doing that, they actually stole everything. 502 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 16: They went through my bag and each one actually gave 503 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 16: away anything they wanted from my bag. After that, they 504 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 16: actually handed me over to the they had seen people 505 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 16: as like the military interrogation like their CIA I guess 506 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 16: department or. 507 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 10: Group, and they took me and. 508 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 16: Hancoff and Hooded into another car into a plane and 509 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 16: they flew Meto Caracas because I was at the border 510 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 16: with Columbia at that time. They flew Meto Caracas and 511 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 16: they put me in At the time, I didn't know 512 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 16: what it was, but it wasn't office space and I 513 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 16: was there for two days. 514 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 10: Hooded Hancoff, you cannot talk anything. 515 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: You must have been scared to death of what could happen. 516 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: You don't know if they're going to kill you, and 517 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: obviously you're not a spy, so you don't know anything. 518 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: You don't have any information you could give them even 519 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: if you didn't want to give up information. So what 520 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: was that like to go through that? 521 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 10: Well? 522 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 16: I knew they didn't know whether we were looking for 523 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 16: themselves because at no point, even from the day September 524 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 16: ninth that I was detained until my release on thirty 525 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 16: first of January twenty twenty five, they never well the reasons. 526 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 16: Later on we knew after four months they accused as everyone, 527 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 16: all the Americans and other people from other countries, because 528 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 16: it's not just Americans. You got, you named the country 529 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 16: and they have them there, everyone was a spy. It 530 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 16: seems like we didn't the word spy didn't fall within 531 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 16: what they wanted and what they were looking for. So 532 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 16: then a couple months later they actually identify us as 533 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 16: terrorists and then as mercenaries that were coming bringing arms 534 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 16: to the US from Miami, and that we were in 535 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 16: operation with the FBI, ns A, CIA. 536 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: All of it bulkcorn charges. Obviously, did they ever torture it, 537 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: did they ever hurt you? 538 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 16: Well, just having you not eating for two days, handcuff 539 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 16: you not removing it, sleeping on the floor or not 540 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 16: sleeping at all, sitting on a chair. The psychological abuse 541 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 16: is to a different level. Not just that, but there 542 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 16: were moments in which they pepper spray, hit you, smack you, 543 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 16: kick you, and you don't know who it was because 544 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 16: you have the hood right so more, I mean, I 545 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 16: had it easy compared to some of the other guys 546 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 16: that I that I was able to be a witness 547 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 16: how they would treat it and how they were actually 548 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 16: hit and spray. So yes, they I mean, and just 549 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 16: being in a cell twenty four to seven sell, that's 550 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 16: only two step by five steps in which you cannot 551 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 16: leave out. 552 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 10: You cannot. You just see the sun, the moon and 553 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 10: the sun. 554 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: I said. 555 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 16: You don't know times or anyone. They don't give you 556 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 16: any information. So it's hard. 557 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: Did you ever did you ever give up hope that 558 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: America would come get you? And do you think that 559 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: America is doing everything they can to get the others 560 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: left behind? 561 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 16: Well, like they said, from day one, they said, nobody 562 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 16: knows you're here. We never stamp your passport, you don't exist. 563 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 16: We can do with you anything we want. We can 564 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 16: put you in a hole right now. We've done it 565 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 16: in the past. Put you in a hole on the ground, 566 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 16: shoot you, bury you. Nobody knows we will you know, 567 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 16: nobody knew you were here, and actually got to a 568 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 16: point that you probably are right because nobody was to 569 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 16: let go. Was actually surprised, not even into the last second, 570 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 16: the last minute in which we knew that we were 571 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 16: leaving when I saw the plane. But it's good that 572 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 16: President Trump actually ten days in office, he actually did 573 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 16: what he you know what he did. 574 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 10: He got us free. 575 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 16: But I'm still thinking about the guys that are left behind. 576 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 16: I think the government should push more for the government 577 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 16: of Maduro to release these individuals. And not just that, 578 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 16: but they know that they that the government already knows 579 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 16: that they're there because we are outweeled the witness for them. 580 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 10: So why they're not moving, why they're not doing anything. 581 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: They certainly know now because we've been covering on this 582 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: network to great legs, and we're hopeful that that President 583 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: Trump where Cornell, can get back in there and rescue 584 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: the remaining hostages. But David Estralla, I'm glad you're okay. 585 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: I'm grateful for you coming on and telling the story. 586 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: Anything we can do to continue to raise awareness to 587 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: those others that are still being held plays a big 588 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: role in getting them home. I hope. Anyway, David Estrella, 589 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: thank you and God bless you. 590 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 10: Thank you for your time. 591 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: Thanks absolutely honestly, folks, I could do a whole other 592 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: segment with that, man. I have so many questions. We 593 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: could do an hour talking about what it's like to 594 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: go through that. I've never done that for a show. 595 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: Maybe all right, doing what Biden could never do. Lowering 596 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: prescription drug prices, it's coming and all thanks to President Trump. 597 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 1: That is next. Welcome back everyone. President Trump's prescription drug 598 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: executive Order now says America must be a favored nation. 599 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: Here's President Trump. 600 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 2: But it's called most favored nation. We are going to 601 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 2: pay the lowest price there is in the world. We 602 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 2: will get whoever is paying the lowest price. That's the 603 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 2: price that we're going to get. So remember that. So 604 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 2: we're no longer paying ten times more than another country. 605 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 2: Whoever is paying the lowest price, we will look at 606 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 2: that price and we will say that's the price we're 607 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:13,439 Speaker 2: going to pay. 608 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: You could literally see an eighty percent drop of the 609 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,479 Speaker 1: cost of prescription drugs. Now here's what's fabulous about this move. 610 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: In many respects, this is not some move the Conservatives 611 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: would come up with. This is a Democrat plan. Okay, 612 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,879 Speaker 1: This is government putting its fingers on the scales of 613 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: the market. Now I'm fine with it, because government already 614 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: has its fingers on the scales of the market when 615 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: it comes to healthcare and prescription medications through Medicare and Medicaid. 616 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: So President Trump's got to do what he's got to do. 617 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: But what is this going to do for the Democrats? 618 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: We're going to try to accuse him of what coming 619 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: up with their own plan. They can't. They will try, 620 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: I promise you, But this plan might have come off 621 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: the desk but Warren, which in many respects makes it 622 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: very funny to me, and I applaud it. All right 623 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: on with me now, Chief of Disaster and Emergency Medicine 624 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: for the Wellness Company, Doctor Kelly Victory is with us. 625 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: Doctor Victory, welcome to the program. 626 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,280 Speaker 17: Thanks as always for having me Grant. 627 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: All right, what do you make of this plan? 628 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 17: I think it's a very bold move on the part 629 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 17: of the president, and I would expect it to get 630 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 17: broad bipartisan support. As you rightly point out that Democrats 631 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,760 Speaker 17: have actually wanted to do this for years. Bernie Sanders 632 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 17: himself had proposed something very similar. It remains to be 633 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 17: seen exactly how it will be operationalized, but fundamentally it 634 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,720 Speaker 17: will allow us to drive down drug prices. The harsh 635 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 17: reality is that for decades Americans have been raped over 636 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 17: the price of prescription drugs. The federal government did a 637 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 17: study in twenty twenty one looking at I believe, Australia, France, 638 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 17: and Canada and found that Americans pay two to four 639 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 17: times more than those countries for the exact same prescription. 640 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 17: This is ridiculous. In the pharmaceutical companies would say that 641 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 17: the extravagant the cost is a result of R and 642 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 17: D and marketing those sorts of things, But why in 643 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 17: the world should Americans pay a disproportionate amount for that 644 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 17: R and D for example. So I think it's a 645 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,919 Speaker 17: bold move. I'm not sure if you will be able 646 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 17: to affect this across the board, or if the executive 647 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 17: order will just apply to Medicare and Medicaid, which are 648 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 17: federally funded federal programs as opposed to having any involvement 649 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 17: with private insurers. 650 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,240 Speaker 10: But it's a first good step. 651 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: You raise a very good point. I don't know if 652 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 1: it could even be enforced in the private market. You 653 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: certainly can enforce it when it comes to Medicare Medicaid. 654 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: Speaking of just what you mentioned, this is your friend 655 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy Junior, the Secretary of Health of Human Services, 656 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: talking about the disparity of America versus the rest of 657 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:06,320 Speaker 1: the world. 658 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 11: We have four point two percent in the world's population. 659 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 11: We our country represents seventy five percent of the revenues 660 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 11: for pharmaceutical companies. We spent in our country eleven one 661 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 11: hundred and twenty six dollars per capita on drugs. In 662 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 11: Britain they's been about two hundred and forty. They spent 663 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,959 Speaker 11: one fifth of what we do. And this is true 664 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 11: across Europe. 665 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 1: So you know the pharmaceutical companies. Doctor Victor will say, well, 666 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: this is research and development. It's why we have to 667 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,280 Speaker 1: spend as much. But why does this not just America's 668 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: shoulders the research and development? Correct? 669 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 17: And that's what I'm saying, there's no why are we 670 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 17: paying a disproportionate amount. So this executive order that the 671 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 17: President has signed would mean that if a drug company 672 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 17: is selling any particular drug, I don't care if it's 673 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 17: ozempic or a blood pressure medication or whatever. If they 674 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 17: are selling it in France or Australia or Canada at 675 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 17: a fraction of the price that they've been selling it 676 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 17: to us, he is going to demand that they offered 677 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 17: to us at that same low price. 678 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 1: Again. 679 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 17: Even if this is done just with Medicare, it would 680 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 17: make a substantive difference in the price for seniors, and 681 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 17: it could theoretically drive down drug prices by as much 682 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 17: as as a president said, I think thirty to eighty percent, 683 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 17: depending on exactly how broadly it's applied, And so I 684 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 17: support this. What Robert Kennedy was saying there. With regard 685 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 17: to the amount of money that we spend as Americans 686 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 17: on prescription drugs versus the rest of the world is twofold. 687 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 17: It's in part because of this disproportionate amount that we 688 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,760 Speaker 17: are funding the pharmaceutical companies, but it's also a result 689 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 17: of the stunning ill health of Americans and the fact 690 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 17: that eighty percent of Americans have a chronic disease. Seventy 691 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 17: four percent of American adult are overweight or obese, forty 692 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 17: percent of adolescents have pre diabetes, and on and on. 693 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 17: Other countries simply are not suffering from the weight of 694 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 17: this chronic disease burden. So I think it is twofold, 695 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 17: and I'm hopeful that the MAHA movement, what Bobby Kennedy 696 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,240 Speaker 17: is doing along with President Trump, will make a big 697 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 17: difference in the health of Americans. 698 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure it will make eight differences. They take 699 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: a little while, but I think the message is starting 700 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: to get out and the changes that are being made, 701 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: we'll start to see differences here at least, I hope. 702 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: So Chief of Disaster and Emergency Medicine for our great 703 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 1: friends over at the Wellness Company, doctor Kelly Victory, it's 704 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: always good to see you. 705 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 14: Thank you, thank you. 706 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: Grant absolutely you know. President Trump talked about oh Zempick. 707 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: He said he's got a billionaire friend of his who 708 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: is totally neurotic, is using the weight loss drug, and 709 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: he told them it's not working. When the weight loss 710 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: drug is eighty eight dollars in England but eleven hundred 711 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: dollars month here in the United States. Trump told him 712 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: it's not working. Only President Trumphy's great, All right, coming back, 713 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: we get into how you can make yourself healthy again 714 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: without ozembic.
