1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: And Prevention will cut one tenth of its workforce. Thirteen

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: hundred workers are being forced out at that critical agency,

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: and as many as two thousand employees that the Department

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: of Energy were let go, including hundreds from its National

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: Nuclear Security Administration.

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: Take that in.

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: According to The New York Times, the Internal Revenue Service

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: is preparing to lay off thousands of employees as soon

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: as next week, reversing the Biden administration's efforts to beef

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: up that agency. What could go wrong with dramatically cutting

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: the IRS workforce in the middle of tax season. Just

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: remember the Trump administration put tax cheats ahead of your

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: needs if you have problems with your refund. Firings are

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: already underway also at the Department of Education, Housing and

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: Urban Development of the the Department of Housing and Urban Development,

16
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: and even at the agency ordering them, the Office of

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: Personnel Management.

18
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: That genius squad has now reportedly been sent into the IRS,

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: So now that group is in there with your tax information.

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: While tonight we get word that at the IRS, just

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: ahead of text filing season, they're about to fire thousands,

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: maybe nine thousand people who actually work there to handle

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: your taxes. The combination of the smash and grab by

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: the supposedly high tech team, and the mass firing of

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: people who actually do know what they're doing means real

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: material harm is being done to our country.

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 4: So you hear a lot about these probationary employees today.

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 4: These are folks who are in their first or second

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 4: year on the job, and they can't just be summarily

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 4: terminated like this on a mass scale. There are rules

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: that government federal employees and their rights in the workplace,

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: and you're not supposed to remove them unless they're poor

33
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: performers or they engage in misconduct. So we filed another

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: action just today Joy through one of the administrative bodies

35
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: that enforces these rules, also Special Council, and do.

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 5: You who put out a statement about these probationary firings.

37
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: These firings are not about poor performance.

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 5: There's no evidence these employees were anything but dedicated public servants.

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: They are about power.

40
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 5: They are about gutting the federal government, silencing workers, forcing

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 5: agencies into submission to a radical agenda that prioritizes cronyism.

42
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 6: What they want is a choke hold, and they have

43
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 6: a choke collar on the mayor of the City of

44
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 6: New York and that is why I'm really thinking about

45
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 6: what happens next. And there are two things. One, the

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 6: governor of New York has the ability to remove the mayor.

47
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 6: And if you've got a mayor who's this compromised, who's who,

48
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 6: As you said, you've now seen on TV the quo

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 6: from the quid, he is no longer he is so conflicted,

50
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 6: he is no longer representing the people of New York City.

51
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 6: And that is something where there is a democratically elected

52
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 6: person the power to take action here, so that essentially

53
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 6: the mayor the City of New York is not Donald Trump,

54
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 6: who no one voted for for that position. The second

55
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 6: is the judge in this case can have a hearing

56
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 6: and can hear from Emil Bove and can find out

57
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 6: whether his version that he put in this submission is

58
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 6: the correct one or whether it's Danielle Sassoon.

59
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: And just to be clear, he.

60
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 6: Has a lot of discretion on the following. He doesn't

61
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 6: have a lot of discussion in terms of whether the

62
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 6: case goes forward or not. But he can actually appoint

63
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 6: a special prosecutor if he thinks that Amiel Bove is

64
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 6: lying to him. That can be prosecuted by an independent prosecutor,

65
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 6: and a separate judge in that same district in the

66
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 6: Southern District of New York has done that exact thing

67
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 6: in another case. So there is precedent for having that

68
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 6: kind of remedy here.

69
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: This is the climate scream of a dying regime. Pray

70
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on these people.

71
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: Here's not got a free shot.

72
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 6: All these networks lying about the people, the people have

73
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 6: had a belly full of it.

74
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: I know you don't like hearing that. I know you

75
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: tried to do everything in the world to stop that,

76
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

77
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 2: And where do people like that go to share the

78
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: big line? Mega media?

79
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 7: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of

80
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 7: these people had a conscience.

81
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 8: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

82
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 8: If that answer is to save my country, this country

83
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 8: will be saved. WARO.

84
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: Here's your host, Stephen K.

85
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 9: Bath.

86
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 8: It's Saturday, fifteen February, Year of Lord twenty twenty five.

87
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 8: So we are I don't know what thirty days away

88
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 8: from Ice of March, and by the eyes of March.

89
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 8: Much of this will be clear because two things are converging.

90
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 8: One is the ripping a part of the administrative state.

91
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 8: And I understand it may not, you know, for people

92
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 8: defending these corrupt institutions and for people defending this, it

93
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 8: may look a little chaotic and messy, but I think

94
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 8: there's actually a quite strong internal logic to it, but

95
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 8: eventually has to merge into kind of process. And what

96
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 8: I mean by this, what we've talked about from the

97
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 8: very beginning, is that the DOGE effort in DOGE, even

98
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 8: though it's the US Digital Service, the apparatus that took over,

99
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 8: it's still part of O and B, and O and

100
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 8: B is the managerial effort of the entire government. It

101
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 8: then has to flow into an appropriations process to actually

102
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 8: have these cuts make take effect.

103
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: Over and above.

104
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 8: I guess what they're finding on some of this waste

105
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 8: for an abuse which I assume you can shut down

106
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 8: right away and is being shut down right away. The

107
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 8: merging in and getting in of real cuts in major

108
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 8: cuts now updated news overnight a huge report how Elon

109
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 8: Musks team is crossing the Potomac on going to go

110
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 8: to the Pentagon. I think they've actually had an early

111
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 8: team over there. The reason that's important is that we

112
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 8: have two processes here. We have one is the and

113
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 8: get ready you're going to get a continuing resolution on

114
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 8: the fourteenth because the work on the appropriation side was

115
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 8: not done. The Senate has not addressed any of these bills.

116
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 8: I think the House has seven or eight of them.

117
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 8: Like Moscovitz said when he talked about the other day,

118
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 8: they have seven single subject appropriations bill which is about

119
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 8: a pisent the budget. But I don't think any work's

120
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 8: been done in the Senate. And remember you have to

121
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 8: reconcile all that. You have to have a conference to

122
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 8: get both people on board. It's one bill. Bottom line,

123
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 8: hasn't been done. So get ready for a cr on

124
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 8: around the around the you know, the first week of

125
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 8: March to get to the fourteenth. I think right after

126
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 8: the present present may drop it date to put in

127
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 8: your calendars for March, which is his discussion.

128
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: Joint Session of Congress.

129
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 8: Essentially, the state of the Union, Stay of the Union

130
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 8: in the first year is not stay of the Union.

131
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 8: It's called you know, it's a joint session. Same thing

132
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 8: called differently where President goes up and addresses Congress from

133
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 8: the fourth of March to the fourteenth will be a firefight,

134
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 8: just will be I want to give this audience a

135
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 8: heads up.

136
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: We're not going to be happy about everything.

137
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 8: It's just that's we got a facial reality here of

138
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 8: what we can do and where we can put maximum

139
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 8: leverage and maximum leverage. The end game we want to

140
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 8: get to is dramatic reductions in federal spending number one,

141
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 8: to get control over these deficits that continue to mount

142
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 8: and go on the face amount of the national debt

143
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 8: of which we then have to pay interest, and principle

144
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 8: says we're never going to get the principal paid down.

145
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: You're just going to continue to pay interest.

146
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 8: It is now a fact, as we have said there

147
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 8: for a couple of years that embedded in this refinancing

148
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 8: of at least a third of that every year.

149
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: Is where you're embedding inflation.

150
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 8: And I realize people are joyous of what's happening every

151
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 8: day we're moving forward, and I wanted to play that

152
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 8: chaos at the top because I think, and I keep

153
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 8: saying this legally, as we press the case both in

154
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 8: deconstructing administrative state and pressing the case of what we're

155
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 8: doing to essentially cut massive costs out of the federal budget.

156
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 8: We are, I believe, winning and going to win at

157
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 8: the federal court level. Last night, you've got this chaos over,

158
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 8: but I think it's control chaos over this situation with Adams,

159
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 8: which is now going to free up a sanctuary.

160
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: And this is incredible.

161
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 8: It's important for the deportation, the mass deportation of the

162
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 8: ten million people. And you've had you know, you've had

163
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 8: resignations at Maine Justice and at Southern District of New York.

164
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 2: So be it.

165
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 8: Mlbovie doesn't give too fs and neither is Pam Bonding,

166
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 8: And that's fine. Just keep it pressed down, I think,

167
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 8: and I think it continues to show we are going

168
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 8: to win at the federal level. You may get slowed

169
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 8: down at the first line of judges, but at the

170
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 8: appellate level, you know, on the on the expedited hearings

171
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 8: at the appellate level, and then.

172
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: It's the Supreme Court. I believe you're going to win.

173
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 8: And one of the big things to put in your

174
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 8: notebook right is Ish impoundment. Impoundment. Write that down. Take

175
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 8: number two partsil and write that down. That number is

176
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 8: going that that concept that construct back to the unified

177
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 8: theory of the executive ideas have consequences.

178
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: These are big ideas.

179
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 8: They're gonna have big consequences and they're gonna be big fights.

180
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: Just is.

181
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 8: Because I believe what you're going to see is the

182
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 8: only I think the way that if I think this through,

183
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 8: I think the way that you get doze into this year,

184
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 8: which is what we're currently fighting, that's the cr and

185
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 8: in next year, which is a little bit of where

186
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 8: the reconciliations process come.

187
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: Where you get doze in and Doge's two things.

188
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 8: Just to add to complexity here, it is one the

189
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 8: waste for an abuse. Every day you see them they

190
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 8: sending a strike team in here, and a strike team

191
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 8: in here, and a strike team in there, and a

192
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 8: strike team and there these young you know, kind of

193
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 8: Nator Ralph Nator type guys going in with their computers

194
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 8: and uh and getting into the data and seeing where

195
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 8: they're either old system that we're paying stuff for all that.

196
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: What does it add up to? I don't know right now.

197
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: I keep asking that question.

198
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 8: It I hope it's a significant number and this is

199
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 8: just not optics, but it will get funneled into the process.

200
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: And the process that's going to.

201
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 8: Get funneled into is the whatever comes out of a

202
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 8: on the fourteenth, whether it's a whole year's cr which

203
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 8: you're gonna hate and I'm gonna hate. Just get ready

204
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 8: to be hating on some stuff because you ain't gonna

205
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 8: like it. I'm not gonna like it. But we kind

206
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 8: of are where we are in this very confluente because

207
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 8: here's the thing. Why we are where we are, because

208
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 8: we still have a political class that does not want

209
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 8: to face reality. You have to be You got to

210
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 8: fix band nets, we got to put the ban in

211
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 8: the back, and we got to drive them to face

212
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 8: reality because other than that, there's no penalty for them

213
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 8: to continue to spend money and print FIAC currency and

214
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 8: just kick the can.

215
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 2: Down the road and add more and more and more.

216
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 8: Now the inflation, Now that people are waking up to

217
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 8: the fact that this is how inflation's costs. Inflation is

218
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 8: caused by this massive federal spending, and this is what

219
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 8: turf Biden at office and when the wake up call

220
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 8: comes that hey, we have to be serious about this.

221
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 8: So those gets funneled into the process in this fiscal year.

222
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 8: When I say this fiscal year. I mean, what's happening

223
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 8: now between now, it's September thirtieth. Then when you talk

224
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 8: about the reconciliations all that, that's fiscal year twenty six

225
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 8: and beyond. The one thing also to keep clear is

226
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 8: when they talk about all these huge cuts and everything

227
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 8: they're doing four trained dollars, it's all still fantasy. It's

228
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 8: masspiatory fantasy because it's over ten years. I'm not interested

229
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 8: in ten years. I'm interested in this year between now

230
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 8: and September thirties. I'm interested in next year once we

231
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 8: get those done. I'm insuring in the year after that

232
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 8: and the year after that. This is a restructuring. This

233
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 8: is a turnaround. The predicate of that is an energy

234
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 8: policy that drives down energy costs and sets it sets

235
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 8: the predicate for low energy cross across the board. So

236
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 8: for the signal, not the noise. President Trump is moving

237
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 8: on that, and Dave Walsh is here to talk about that.

238
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 8: In addition, you have to get your arms around the

239
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 8: Pentagon budget. They're over in the Ukraine right now and

240
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 8: the bottom line of Ukraine and this is why the firestorm.

241
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 8: We're telling Europe, Hey, guess what you've got to stand

242
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 8: up for the first time really since World War Two.

243
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 8: I would actually argue world War One. They they haven't

244
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 8: stood on their own since World War One. This is

245
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 8: why we had World War Two. They have to stand

246
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 8: up and they're going to put some money in the game.

247
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 8: The elites over there have gotten a free ride. And

248
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 8: as we reorient here to the hemispheric defense of President Trump,

249
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 8: that leads to a potential massive realignment of our defense budget,

250
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 8: which we've got to get to because you know, you've

251
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 8: got to get to medicaid. You've got to get to

252
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 8: the discretionary spending. You've got to get to the To

253
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 8: do that, you've got to get into the defense budget.

254
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: You just have to.

255
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 8: In medicaid once again, because this is not about race,

256
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 8: it's not about ethnic See, this is about economic distress.

257
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 8: We have eighteen million men of working age not in

258
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 8: the workforce. We have a crisis of We have a

259
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 8: crisis of among men in this country.

260
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: We have eighteen million not in the workforce.

261
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 8: This is why medicaid is about economic distress, economic distress.

262
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: Do we want medicaid?

263
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 7: No?

264
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: Do you want medicaid no? Do the people taking it

265
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: and want it?

266
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 7: No?

267
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: They don't.

268
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 8: But because we got it, this country and some of

269
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 8: the jobs off and since the last five years, let

270
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 8: me connect another dot no net job creation in five

271
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 8: years for people native born people, regardless.

272
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: Of your race or ethnicity.

273
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 8: Zero, all the essentially all the job growth in five

274
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 8: years to foreign born citizens.

275
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to take today. We're going to make

276
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: this all perfectly clear.

277
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 7: Sure Trump wisely understood that under the Biden administration there

278
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 7: was a war against American energy, and today that war

279
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 7: officially has ended. President Trump on day one declared a

280
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 7: national Energy Emergency. And this is a real emergency because

281
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 7: under the Biden administration restricted the production of oil and gas.

282
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 7: Production is still coming. But when you stop holding leases,

283
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 7: when you take six hundred and twenty five million acres

284
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 7: of land of ocean land out of production possibilities to

285
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 7: an executive order, you're really restricting the balance sheet of America.

286
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 7: But today, as President Trump said, this is unleashed. The

287
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 7: National Energy Dominance Council will be made up. All the

288
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 7: folks that are standing beside me here, other Cabinet leaders,

289
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 7: and many more represent President Trump's wise decision that we

290
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 7: need a whole of government approach to unwine. The Biden

291
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 7: administration had a whole of government approached that had the

292
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 7: war against US energy. Now we need to turn that

293
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 7: around one hundred degrees and unlease that potential. We've got

294
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 7: to unleash it from the Gulf of America all the

295
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 7: way up to Alaska. We have amazing resources of this

296
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 7: country and we haven't beginning a return on. Many of

297
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 7: these are under public lands. The interior has five hundred

298
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 7: million acres of surface, seven hundred million acres of subsurface

299
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 7: minerals critical minerals, and offshore close to two billion acres.

300
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 7: And that balance sheet makes is the biggest balance sheet

301
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 7: in the world, and it's been completely underutilized. Everybody knows

302
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 7: we have thirty six trillion in debt as a country,

303
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 7: but no one knows how many hundreds of trillions of

304
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 7: dollars of assets we have. And President Trump is asking

305
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 7: us to go get a return on that investment for

306
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 7: the American people. And with that, we're going to have

307
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 7: prosperity at home with lower prices, and we're also going

308
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 7: to have peace abroad because the wars that we've been

309
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 7: engaged in or our allies have been fighting over the

310
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 7: past few years have been funded by the oil sales

311
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 7: of our adversaries, so we have an opportunity. And we

312
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 7: also were in an AI arms race with China. The

313
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 7: only way we win that is with more electricity. And

314
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 7: we also have an energy emergency in terms of electricity.

315
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 7: Too much, intermittent, unreliable, not enough baseload. We've been shutting

316
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 7: down the baseload that we have. President Trump is going

317
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 7: to reverse that and it's going to allow us to

318
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 7: win the AI arms race, which is the most important

319
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 7: thing that we have to do relative to our future.

320
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 7: So with that, I want to say again thank you

321
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 7: to President Trump, and I want to thank my fellow

322
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 7: members of the Energy.

323
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 8: Councilor okay, you talk about policy and project of twenty

324
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 8: twenty five and working and ideas and ideas that consequences

325
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 8: we owe. This is a number of people coming together.

326
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 8: But I gotta give a hat tip to the warroom

327
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 8: posse and to the great Dave Walsh. What you just

328
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 8: heard right there from Governor Burgham is chapter versus what

329
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 8: we talked about for the last four years in this show,

330
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 8: including the Energy dominance full spectrum energy dominance. Also put

331
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 8: in your notebook, one of the most important people in

332
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 8: the cabinet, very low key and not a huge public profile.

333
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 8: Is burgham a very serious guy, a very serious guy,

334
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 8: and he keeps his hand on the pulse of corporate America.

335
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 8: And I think he's the real the lnchpin along with

336
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 8: the Lutnik over commerce UH to the to the to

337
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 8: the corporate America to the President. And I think he

338
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 8: does it in kind of a common sense way, Dave Walsh,

339
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 8: because here's the thing. While we're flooding the zone and

340
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 8: overwhelming the radical Democrats, the apparatus, the administrative state, the

341
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 8: deep state, all of it, you also have to be

342
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 8: putting into to place your plan correct. Part of it's

343
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 8: here boom boom boom, boom boom. As we talked about

344
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 8: right on the on ending the war on one side

345
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 8: and the deportations. You know that ties in New York

346
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 8: City with what's happening in Munich today. But the driving

347
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 8: force to take away the existential threat, which is our

348
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 8: financial crisis, in the economic crisis.

349
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 2: What is the gospel of Dave Walsh. It's all based.

350
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 8: It's got to be the foundation has to be energy,

351
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 8: and it has to be what's that great mantra you've

352
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 8: got Dave Walsh constant basedload, you know, not not the

353
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 8: Green New Deal, not not wind and solar and all

354
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 8: these fantasies. Time to stop fantasy and get back to it.

355
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 8: President Trump signed it right there at the National Energy

356
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 8: Dominance Council. Dave Walsh thoughts, how big a deal is this, brother, Dave.

357
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 2: This is Christmas Day for us.

358
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 10: This is the President doing exactly what we voted for

359
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 10: and on this show advocated for for about three years.

360
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 10: Appreciate the recognition, but this is a tremendous day. He's

361
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 10: gone after with the foundation of the All of Government

362
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 10: Energy Council to unleash energy dominance, a full all of

363
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 10: government focus, not ont zero dcarb but on all in

364
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 10: energy abundance and low cost, which is essentially necessary for

365
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 10: manufacturing anything, and for rate payers to begin to enjoy

366
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 10: less inflation and hopefully your reduction in the cost of

367
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 10: energy which is crippling the economy. So Bergen pointed out

368
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 10: the need for baseload less intermittent electricity fantastic. The formation

369
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 10: of the Council, of course, fantastic. The reinvigoration of the

370
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 10: Continental pipeline that would support natural gas deliveries badly needed,

371
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 10: natural gas deliveries to the New York and New England,

372
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 10: who are in the top seven states in the country

373
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 10: of the top ten states, and energy cost, electricity cost

374
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 10: all of New England and New York. Solve that issue,

375
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 10: get natural gas desperately needed to New Englanders New Yorkers,

376
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 10: and then even mentioning the necessity of clean coal if

377
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 10: we're going to have AI server centers, and oh, by

378
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 10: the way, the rest of industry aluminum steelmaking, which you mentioned,

379
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 10: you've got to have abundant energy, baseload energy of all sources.

380
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 10: One of the most immediate sources of that is reinvigorating

381
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 10: clean calls, such as China is doing, he said, a

382
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 10: plant a month. It's really They've got four hundred under

383
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 10: permit and construction. Germany reopening coal plants, and of course

384
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 10: Japan the big big coal binge between two fifteen and

385
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 10: twenty nineteen putting thirteen gigawatch more call online in Japan.

386
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 10: So we need to be doing the same thing here.

387
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 10: We need to get back to base load, constant duty energy.

388
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 10: The CEO in this formation of the Hall of Government

389
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 10: approach through the Energy Council, does exactly that.

390
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: It's a great day for the country.

391
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 8: It's a great I want to make sure people understand

392
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 8: the bid in the as here under Biden, he saw

393
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 8: us in Germany they had a hole of government on

394
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 8: net carbon zero, a whole of a government on net

395
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 8: carbon zero that is essentially an energy plan that de

396
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 8: industrializes you. You're seeing this in Germany right now, as

397
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 8: Dave wawshe warners that Holy ours is a hole of

398
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 8: government on full spectrum energy domin.

399
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: It's the gap in there is massive.

400
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 8: The gap in there means your children and grandchildren, yourselves,

401
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 8: but your grandchildren and children and grandchildren have a shot.

402
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 8: We have a shot because we were going down the

403
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 8: same path of the Greta Thunberg insanity that you see

404
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 8: in Germany right now. And you see the social upheaval

405
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 8: in Germany. One of the key parts of that is

406
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 8: their de industrialization at the same time kind of surrendering

407
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 8: and sending the jobs to China. Does that sound familiar?

408
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 8: This is why this is so massive? Am I correct there?

409
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 8: That that's the bid, that's the spread. The spread as

410
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 8: you had these maniacs in Washington who were self dealing too.

411
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 8: And this gets back to what I talked about in

412
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 8: Palma This is Trump grabbing the three hundred billion dollars

413
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 8: that has not been spent on the green new scam,

414
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 8: and he's saying, Hey, guess what I'm going to repurpose this.

415
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 8: The bid here is between these maniacs that were doing

416
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 8: net carbon zero, which means you're de industrializing your society,

417
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 8: versus full spectrum energy dominance. Now, to be brutally frank,

418
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 8: the progressive Democrats in the apartheid state of Silicon Valley

419
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 8: got the joke and said, oh yeah, we just figured

420
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 8: out that.

421
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 2: AI needs like ten x power.

422
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 8: So they're now are allies, and they ain't allies because

423
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 8: they're good guys. They were the driving They were the

424
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 8: driving force at one time in net carbon zero, and

425
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 8: all the venture capital money they were putting, and how

426
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 8: they talked it up, and how they suppressed voices like

427
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 8: Dave Walsh in the show not to talk about full

428
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 8: spectrum energy dominance. They flipped because the reality of artificial intelligence,

429
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 8: particularly the brute force way we do it, you need

430
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 8: massive new energy sources. Dave Walsh, your thoughts, observations and comments, sir.

431
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 10: Well, the stupidity is sheer stupidity economic disaster of the

432
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 10: last five years has been the investment of ninety one

433
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 10: percent of the capital spent on new power generation in

434
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 10: this country five years has been on intermittent renewables that

435
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 10: operate on average about twenty four twenty five percent of

436
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 10: the time and don't operate seventy five percent of the time,

437
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 10: at about one hundred billion a year in total spending

438
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 10: on capital, where normally we spent about sixty five billion

439
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 10: a year, so we've spent about fifty six percent more

440
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 10: money on equipment that's basically churning away from base load

441
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 10: full time energy devices coal, gas, and nuclear over the

442
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 10: last five years and spending about forty two billion a

443
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 10: year going forward in incentivizing more of that, incentivizing more

444
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 10: energy devices by the Biden administration, solar and wind and

445
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 10: battery storage that cost from six to eleven times more

446
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 10: for rate payers. So that's that's not going to be

447
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 10: off the table. That'll be off the table and instead

448
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 10: and also through the Tarrat program, which goes after soft

449
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 10: issues such as China.

450
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 2: You can't import any United.

451
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,959
Speaker 10: States or German Japan made gas turbine, steam turbines, generators,

452
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 10: or even.

453
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 9: Renewable equipment into China.

454
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 10: You just can't do it, so on a soft basis,

455
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 10: as he goes through reciprocity of actions not just era percentages,

456
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 10: they will be unable, hopefully to import any further solar panels,

457
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 10: then film, PV andverurters and batteries into this country for

458
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 10: energy supply, which cost American rate payers six to eleven

459
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 10: times more money than conventional gas fired power generation or

460
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 10: coal fired power generation that'll be brought to its nies.

461
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 10: So this has been a false economy and one very

462
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 10: ruinous to the last five years, we've added only three

463
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 10: and a half percent er point six percent per year

464
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 10: growth to our electricity supply, where now we're needing three

465
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 10: to five percent per year growth in electricity as we

466
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 10: grow industry. AI data centers are just part of that. Aluminum, smelting, steel,

467
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 10: making all of that. Petrochemicals, chemicals, plastics, all need enormous

468
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,560

495
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 8: driving these reconciliation bills, the tax cuts. The foundational element

496
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 8: of President Trump. Remember it's an energy policy, and it's

497
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 8: a it's a supply side tax cut, supply side tax spot.

498
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: And on top of that, big.

499
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 8: Cuts in federal spending, smart cuts in federal spending, taking

500
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 8: out the doze, waste, fraud, and abuse, and then you

501
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 8: get into programmatically where you're gonna have to cut. I'm

502
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 8: gonna have Captain Fanell up here in a moment. We're

503
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 8: gonna talk geostrategically. While this reorientation to the hemispheric defense

504
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 8: is quite brilliant, we'll have massive, massive implications to the

505
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 8: defense budget. What I want to make sure people are

506
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 8: not doing just blindly going down the path of doing

507
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 8: what we've done before, because Trump is saying we ain't

508
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 8: doing that. The whole thing in Europe, and you know,

509
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 8: Lindsay Graham's over there, all my people over there telling me.

510
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 8: Lindsay grahams running around hugging on Zelensky and he's the

511
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 8: greatest partner every head, and it just we're not doing

512
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 8: this anymore. We're not going to do it. We're not

513
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 8: doing it. European elite's going to step up to talk

514
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 8: to their people. You got a big if you've got

515
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 8: a primal fear of Russia. Then step President Trump told

516
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 8: you the number five percent. You're not going to do

517
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 8: it because we've been bailing you out for over one

518
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 8: hundred years, and that day is over.

519
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: Over.

520
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 8: The American people got to take care of themselves. You're

521
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 8: an ally, and we'll be an ally. We're not breaking

522
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 8: the alliance, but we're not underwriting. It's the difference between

523
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 8: break being an ally and being an underwriter. We've underwritten it.

524
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 8: That's why NATO in Western Europe is a protectorate.

525
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: Of the United States.

526
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 8: That's why the Middle East and the Golf Emirates and

527
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 8: all these kings and potentates and even Israel ally Israel,

528
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 8: we underwrite all that. And they and probably the UAE

529
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 8: are two best allies over there that punch way above

530
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 8: their weight. But the whole thing's a mess. And no,

531
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 8: we're not getting dragged into another and I getting dragged

532
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 8: into a land war in Persia. We're not going to

533
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 8: get dragged into air strikes in Persia. We're just not

534
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 8: going to do that. Not going to do it. There

535
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 8: are other ways and smarter ways to do that. And

536
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 8: I say that as a young man has spent no

537
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 8: time in the North Arabian seeing the Persian Gulf looking

538
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 8: at Persia and it's like the moon. No need for

539
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 8: us to be doing this. You've got to be smart

540
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 8: about it. That's why this geos strategic and the three

541
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 8: island chains and in India being the key and dieg

542
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 8: Garcia being a key. There's a smart way to get

543
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 8: through this with a third less cost. And you start

544
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 8: using unrestricted warfare, you start using your capital base, you

545
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 8: start using your technology withholding it from people, and we

546
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 8: can get there and not put ourselves in bankruptcy. Because

547
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 8: now one of the biggest national security threats is this

548
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 8: fricking spending that's out of control. And these gutless people

549
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 8: up here that don't want to go back and tell anybody.

550
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 8: American people will be very understanding if you explain it

551
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 8: to them and they don't think they're getting screwed. And

552
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 8: this whole medicaid situation is gonna be a big deal

553
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 8: because this is about economic distress.

554
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 2: This is about gutting this About eighteen.

555
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 8: Million or twenty million men in this country of working

556
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 8: age are not in the workforce because they're not jobs there.

557
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 8: We gutted all the good jobs you got young men

558
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 8: now not going to college because they don't see the

559
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 8: benefit of it. Not that college is everything, but they're

560
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 8: not going for a whole host of reasons. We got

561
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 8: to get them re engaged into the workforce. Then you

562
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 8: do that, you're not going to need medicaid. The elites

563
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 8: have done this and got did our country and now

564
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 8: want the people to deal with it. Now I want

565
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 8: the taxpayer to deal with it. It can be unwheund,

566
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 8: it can be unwheund smartly, but you have to be tough,

567
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 8: and you're gonna have to take a lot of incoming,

568
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 8: and we are gonna take a lot of incoming. Trust

569
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 8: me on this particularly, I say, Oh, all Bannon wants

570
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 8: to do is soak the wealthy, soak the rich. I don't,

571
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 8: but hey, no offense, be brutally frank. They benefited from

572
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 8: all the bailofuts. They've benefited. We've socialized the risk and

573
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 8: given them unlimited upside. Those numbers are not even questioned,

574
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 8: cannot be questioned. This is how you've had this great

575
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 8: concentration of wealth, and we're gonna give We're gonna give

576
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 8: hi another benefit. Another tip not gonna happen, can happen

577
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 8: because you can see the underlying numbers and don't think

578
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 8: our proof of ratings are that so far over the

579
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 8: top that if the current trending and economics continue, and

580
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 8: this is driven by this massive federal spending, things can

581
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 8: change in a diamond.

582
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: We have to address it now. And the two underlying

583
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: things he's doing are quite smart.

584
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 8: This energy policy as a predicate if supply side tax

585
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 8: cuts smartly as a predicate. And also a geostrategic alignment,

586
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 8: so we don't have a defense budget that's killing us

587
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 8: and crippling us like I think it is now, although

588
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 8: a big part of it so works for a work program,

589
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 8: an industrial policy. Ben Harnwell, let's talk about Ukraine first.

590
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 8: This Ukraine, think, please, we cannot get sucked into this.

591
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 8: They're gonna President Trump, They're trying to suck you into it.

592
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 8: But no, Ben, Okay, we got a technical problem with Harnwell,

593
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 8: I'll do this then on on that we don't need Ben.

594
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 8: I can take this. I mean, I love to have you.

595
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 8: But he's got technical promises. Okay, Uh, you see over there,

596
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 8: President Trump couldn't be clear. He's having a direct conversation

597
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 8: with with Putin, and he's got wit Cooff. He's got

598
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 8: wit coough In went to Moscow and that's where they're

599
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 8: having a discussion. Now they're saying Zelenski has to be

600
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 8: at the sable Zinski tok so, less you got me

601
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 8: the table that you guys start paying for it, don't

602
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 8: talk about American security guaranteeing. And Tazinski comes back, No

603
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 8: American troops, and they're saying, oh, Pete heggsays a rookie.

604
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: He did.

605
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 8: No, let's get it up on the table first. Here's

606
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 8: here's what the framework is. We're out, we're tired of

607
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 8: we're tired of shoveling money over there. And quite frankly,

608
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 8: I don't give a damn about the rare earth. Keep it,

609
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 8: just walk away. If he gets sucked in, you're gonna

610
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 8: be sucked in year after year after year.

611
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: We don't. It's opportunity costs. We got bigger fish to fry.

612
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 2: The EU wants them in there, and NATO wants them

613
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: in there.

614
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 8: Then have the Germans, have the French, have the attacks,

615
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 8: have all these deadbeats McCrone and Georgia Maloney, and have

616
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 8: whoever's going to run Germany and throw in and throwing

617
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 8: the Brits. You know, Bori John's is a big talker.

618
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 8: And then put some money up and put some money

619
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 8: for your defense. And let's see a couple of three

620
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 8: combat divisions.

621
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: How about that.

622
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 8: We're out and we got to be adamant about this.

623
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 8: And Lindsey Graham is over there cheerleading and skipping around. Oh,

624
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 8: Lindsay's great to keep skipping around, Bro, we're out. What

625
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 8: don't you understand?

626
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: We're out?

627
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 8: Zelenski doesn't get to see at the table. We don't

628
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 8: give a damn what Zelenski has said. We've seen what

629
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 8: he's done to his people. Last time I looked, they're

630
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 8: a mallion dead or wounded. And the place looks like dresident.

631
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 8: Great job, great job for what?

632
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: For what end?

633
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 8: Captain Finne? Here, President Trump is reorienting. He's saying, hey,

634
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 8: Kana poks on all your houses. We got bigger fisher

635
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 8: for Plus, he's talking about getting putin in in she

636
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 8: in a room and sitting down and talking about hammering

637
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 8: swords in the plowshares, and hey, we're not going to

638
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 8: walk in naively and think that these guys are going

639
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 8: to have a Kumbaya moment. We always got to be prepared,

640
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 8: always have to be prepared because these are not good people.

641
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 8: They're just not their people are good Lao Baijing. I mean,

642
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 8: if you look at World War two, the war on

643
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 8: the Eurasian land mass, the Chinese people.

644
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: Were our ally, The Indian army was our ally.

645
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 8: The non commissioned officers, the guys who stood at Irrawadi

646
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 8: and fought the Japanese and didn't let them come and

647
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 8: take India. There on our side. The Indian people and

648
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 8: the Russian people now they're leaders in the next I

649
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 8: don't know, fifty or sixty or seventy eighty years were

650
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 8: not pro American at all.

651
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 2: They were anti American.

652
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 8: Doesn't mean the people weren't and didn't bleed on the

653
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 8: battlefield on battles we need to have won for now.

654
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 8: Now we have a total orientation. And this is Alfred

655
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 8: theer Mahan. President Trump, who's read Morrison, understands the victory

656
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 8: of the naval victory in World War two, is saying, hey,

657
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 8: I think I got it. From Panama Canal to Greenland,

658
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 8: the Arctics going to be in play, and we got

659
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 8: the three island chains in the Pacific.

660
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: You got a desert.

661
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 8: The Pacific Ocean is as big as the Eurasian land

662
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 8: mass between, and it's essentially an ocean desert vast. It

663
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 8: is like crossing the Sahara. We've got that you do

664
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 8: that America is hermetically sealed. Captain fanw the Floris yours.

665
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 9: Well, Steve, I agree with what you're saying that there's

666
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 9: this recognition that you know land wars, and you know,

667
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 9: we always say you don't want to find a land

668
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 9: war in Asia. Well, you don't really want to fight

669
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 9: a land war in the Middle East in Europe forever either.

670
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 9: And President Trump's very been very clear this focus on

671
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 9: as you call it, the hemispheric defense, focusing and talking about, hey,

672
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 9: we have to have control of the of the Panama Canal,

673
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 9: not our own physical control of it, but the ability

674
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 9: to make sure that our forces and our goods and

675
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 9: services and our naval forces can transit through there is important.

676
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 9: He talks about Greenland for a lot of reasons, but

677
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 9: he was very clear about mentioning Russian and Chinese ships

678
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 9: transiting through the Gui g U I k Gap. And

679
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 9: so he's talking in naval terms. And then three days

680
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 9: ago in Munich you had Pete Eggseeth. I know he's

681
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 9: gotten some you know bad, you know, publicity for some

682
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 9: things he said about Ukraine, But the most important thing

683
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 9: he said from my perspective was this, he said, we

684
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 9: also face a peer competitor, and with the Chinese communists

685
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 9: with the capability and intent to threaten our homeland and

686
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 9: core national interests in the Indo Pacific. The US is

687
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 9: prioritizing deterring war with China in the Pacific, recognizing the

688
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 9: reality of scarcity, and making the resource trade offs to

689
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 9: ensure deterrence does not fail. Deterrence cannot fail for all

690
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 9: of our sakes, and that's really what we've neglected for

691
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 9: the last forty years, is deterring the PRC and as

692
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 9: you said, our great ocean areas of the Pacific from

693
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 9: the West coast to Japan, and it takes an aircraft

694
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 9: carrier fourteen days or so to go across from San

695
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 9: Diego to Yakuska. That's a large area. People cannot comprehend

696
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 9: how big that area is. But we have neglected that area,

697
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 9: and we have kind of there's people even calling to

698
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 9: pull back the four deployed naval forces. And what I

699
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 9: see is the Trump administration and the people that are

700
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 9: talking and making these plans this hemispheric defense. It's based

701
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 9: upon returning America to be a naval power. And what

702
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 9: we need is to define what is the purpose of

703
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 9: our navy for our nation, and it has always been,

704
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 9: as you mentioned, Mahan, it is about command of the seas,

705
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 9: and we have always had command of the seas, and

706
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 9: we need to have command of the seas today and

707
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 9: we do not have it in the region of the

708
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 9: Far East, given what the PRC has done in their

709
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 9: naval modernization program for the last twenty five thirty years.

710
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 9: And so we need to restore our naval power. That's

711
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 9: not an occupation for us. That's not sending soldiers into

712
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 9: foreign countries. That's having the ability to command the seas

713
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 9: where we need to at the time that we need to,

714
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 9: and that what that does is maintain the peace and

715
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 9: security of the region, which is what the navy, this

716
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 9: US seventh Fleet largely did from the end of World

717
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 9: War Two up until this last ten to fifteen years.

718
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 9: As the Chinese navy developed, so we walked away from

719
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 9: our responsibility to deter the PRC, to deter the Chinese

720
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 9: communists because they have plans to do a lot of

721
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 9: mischief and if we're not there. If we're not there

722
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 9: in strength, you know, we're not working with our allies.

723
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 9: It was glad to see Prime Minister Modi and President

724
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 9: Trump specifically talk about defense is a key element of

725
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 9: our relationship, and that's good. It was under the first

726
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 9: Trump administration that we revitalized the Quad relationship Japan, Australia,

727
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 9: United States and India. And it's going to get re

728
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 9: energized again, which is going to put pressure and deter

729
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 9: China from their activities. But we have serious problems, and

730
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 9: you mentioned the Defense Department. You know, why are we

731
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 9: spending all this extra money for the you know, the

732
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 9: Forward class carrier that has problems with this electromagnetic launch system.

733
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 9: All we're getting is an extra forty sorties in a

734
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 9: day to have that technological cape ability at what cost?

735
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 9: At billions of dollars we paid for the Zoom Wall Cruiser,

736
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 9: you know, billions of dollars for Zoom Waltz. We only

737
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 9: produced three of them, and then we found out after

738
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 9: we produced them, that is firing a single round of

739
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 9: this ammunition that would go into these advanced guns would

740
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 9: cost over a million dollars around. It was unsustainable. We've

741
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 9: had problems with the litoral combat, all these problems in

742
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 9: our navy that is atrocious. And all the admirals that

743
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 9: I work for, some of them are friends, good people,

744
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 9: but it's unbelievable that we allowed this to happen. The

745
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 9: people that were supposed to be guarding our naval sea

746
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 9: lanes went to sleep and turned the Department Department of

747
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 9: Defense over to the to the army. And if you

748
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 9: talk about.

749
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 8: Fraudway, Captain, hang on for one secon. We're just take

750
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 8: a short break. Camp back in a moment.

751
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: We will, by god, we literally.

752
00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 10: Use your host.

753
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 2: Stephen came back.

754
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 8: Captain Fanel, you're gonna be writing a lot about this. Yes,

755
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 8: we've been asleep on the on the Navy because this

756
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 8: is the thing with Sencom. This is about the pivot

757
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 8: to Asia. The pivot to Asia is really a pivot

758
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 8: and pivoting Asia. President Trump's come up with a new

759
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 8: hemispheric defense, which is brilliant. Monroe Doctrine two point zero

760
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 8: or five point zero Fortress America quite brilliant. Captain Fanel

761
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 8: said about you leave San Diego with a carry battle

762
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 8: group fourteen days later. People do not understand because maps

763
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 8: don't really show it correctly. The Pacific is a massive

764
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 8: ocean desert massive that is protection for the United States

765
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 8: of America. And President Trump thinks this through. Although obviously

766
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 8: with our partners in India, we got it. You know,

767
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 8: the Indo Pacific is obviously vastly important. The Seventh Fleet

768
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 8: and you got it. This is why the British got

769
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,479
Speaker 8: to keep Diego Garcia, who can't be given that back

770
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 8: to the Chinese Chemist Party more absurdity. But whole SEMCOM

771
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 8: was this land war in the Middle East, and we're

772
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 8: not doing it. We're not going to do that again.

773
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 8: The mistakes there are just horrific and it cannot happen again.

774
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 8: This is why they certain people trying to suck you

775
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 8: into a landward Persia. They're not going to happen. Last

776
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 8: thing you need.

777
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 2: Been doing that since what the early nineties actually could

778
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 2: throw bea root in there, maybe the early eighties. Captain.

779
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 2: For now, where can people go to get your writings?

780
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 8: Because now more than ever, particularly as we reorient the

781
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 8: Pentagon to a new strategic the post war international rules

782
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 8: based order is over because America is not going to

783
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 8: underwrite it anymore.

784
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: That's the squealing you hear in Munich. They want America,

785
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: they want you.

786
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 8: They want the suckers that are American taxpayer and the

787
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 8: parents that send their kids to go do this, to

788
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 8: underwrite it all. It's not going to happen anymore. We're out,

789
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 8: We're out. It's America first. We're looking for allies. We're

790
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 8: not looking for a protectorates. Your's been a vassal state

791
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 8: and they've dined off the American taxpayer, and they've dined

792
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 8: off the sons and daughters of Maga for eighty years

793
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 8: and full stop.

794
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 2: Not going to happen anymore. I don't care how much

795
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 2: they squeal.

796
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 8: I don't care in Castad or Provence or Tuscany, or

797
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 8: the West end of London, or in Berlin, in Paris.

798
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 8: There's plenty of money in Europe, big money. Let the

799
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 8: Norwegian Fund, you know, the Sovereign Wealth Fund is like

800
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 8: a trade and a half dollars off of North Sea

801
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 8: Oral in the Norwegians or good investors.

802
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 2: Right, they'll squeeze you, captain for now? Where do people

803
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 2: go to get you? Sir?

804
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 9: I write for American greatness occasionally, and I would just say,

805
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 9: you know, when I joined the Navy in nineteen eighty six,

806
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 9: we had six hundred ships, about six hundred ships, and

807
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 9: over the last forty years we've now have less than

808
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 9: three hundred ships, and we're not able to provide for

809
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 9: that hemispheric defense with a force that's like this. We

810
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 9: just had an aircraft carrier have a collision just off

811
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 9: the coast of Egypt at the entrance of the to

812
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 9: US Canal. This on Wednesday, the USS Aery Truman collided

813
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 9: with a bulk carrier and put some damage onto our

814
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 9: aircraft carrier. Don't know how extensive it is, but we

815
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 9: don't even have the capability to do forward repairs because

816
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 9: we only have two repair ships in the US Navy,

817
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 9: and you know there's only two when they're out in

818
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 9: the Pacific right now. But we don't have the ability

819
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 9: to sustain ourselves in those kind of operations that are

820
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 9: necessary for our hemispheric defense. We got a lot of

821
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 9: problems in the Navy and the Department of Defense.

822
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 2: To show you what a kid, what a kid? Captain

823
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 2: fanel is and I revere.

824
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 8: Captain Fidel is a man that put everything on the line,

825
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 8: moral courage and brilliants unbelievable to put his whole career

826
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 8: in the line. Captain Fanel, I was, I was there

827
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 8: a decade earlier. Captain Fanel was still in short pants

828
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 8: as we say, seventy seventy six to eighty four or

829
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 8: eighty five, eighty three or eighty four.

830
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 2: Captain Fanel coming in in eight six.

831
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 8: And you saw it when I started, when I joined

832
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 8: the navy, it was the two hundred and ninety five ships,

833
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,919
Speaker 8: the Carter debacle. President Ronald Reagan came in and said,

834
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 8: We're going to build a six hundred ship navy. And hey,

835
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 8: we came pretty damn close, do we not, Captain fan now?

836
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 8: And that's when we ruled. That's when we ruled the waves.

837
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 8: There's a different deal then, and we've shrunk ever since then.

838
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 8: This is why Trump gets it. Hey, Patama Canal Greenland,

839
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 8: Let's get a base up there, Let's block the Soviet right,

840
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 8: let's block the Russian navy up in the Arctic in

841
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 8: at Archangel Murmansk. We can get We will see all

842
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 8: the fast attacks and boomers coming by and trail them

843
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 8: and tell you and the europe should get the joke

844
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 8: when he announced that they should understand, Hey, the Russian

845
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 8: army's your problem.

846
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: You deal with it will be there as an ally,

847
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 2: but hey, you deal with it.

848
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 8: And that means drafting some young men, getting some equipment,

849
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 8: building an army, building an army. And you see what

850
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 8: happened is Zelenski, a mallion, dead and wounded Ukrainians according

851
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 8: to President Trump. And the place looks like Dresden in

852
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 8: nineteen forty five. Captain, we got a bounce. Look forward

853
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 8: to having me back on here to go through this

854
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 8: Trump's making. I mean, this is the thing, the signal

855
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 8: of the noise. There's so much going on and it's

856
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 8: breaking them. But they're deep, deep, deep moves being made

857
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 8: by President Trump. He's thought a lot in the years

858
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 8: in the wilderness. He did what Churchill did. He read,

859
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 8: he thought, he studied, he looked, he observed, He compared

860
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 8: that what he did the first time.

861
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 2: This is why you have a totally different deal this time.

862
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 8: And also the people, the America first priorities, the heritage.

863
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 2: There's the Center for Renewing America.

864
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 8: Thinking through national security policy, thinking through economic policy. The

865
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 8: National Energy Dominance cancel didn't come out of nowhere. The

866
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 8: strategy in Greenland and the thing then he just didn't materialize.

867
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 8: He's not dreaming this stuff up, not coming off the

868
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 8: top of his head. There's a lot of thinking and

869
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 8: a lot of smart people thinking through, and they understand

870
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 8: the deep state in the Miministrate understand it.

871
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:06,680
