1
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: Welcome to another super fabulous edition of Breaking Point on

2
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: Real America's Voice News.

3
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us.

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: Another informative show for you so you can argue with

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: your crazy uncle at the Memorial Day barbecue tomorrow and Monday.

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: I want to wish everybody you know a great time

7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: with their family this weekend and honor all those who

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: gave their lives for this country. I spend all morning

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: looking at the debt clock, and every twenty one seconds

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: we go another million dollars further in debt, and every

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: minute it's three million dollars, and every hour it's like

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty million, and every day it's four

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: billion dollars, four billion dollars a day in debt. And

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: by the way, New York City leaders are bragging about

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: a reduction in shootings and murders down about twenty percent

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: across New York City, but they leave out that rape

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: is up almost thirty percent, felony assaults and missed themeanor

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: assaults still at like twenty year highs. And in AOC's district,

19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: crime is up since twenty nineteen since she took office.

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: You know, she cares about somebody. She's so compassionate.

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: Right, crime is up seventy percent, more than double the

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: citywide increase of thirty percent during that ten year. Since

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, and the one hundred and tenth precinct in

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 1: queens encompasses the market of Sweethearts, a human trafficking den,

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: a prostitution mecca on Roosevelt Avenue. It's saw one hundred

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: and five percent surgeon crime, the highest increase of any

27
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: New York City precinct in the same five years. Good job, AOC,

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Good job Democrats, You're so compassionate about the border.

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: Right.

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: I want to welcome our first guest with us, though,

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: because there's so much going on in the world and

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to keep up, and we need an expert

33
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: opinion here on what's cooking over in the Middle East.

34
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: We have Yuri Kaufman, historian and legal expert and author

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: of American Intafada, Israel, The Gaza War, and the New

36
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Anti Semitism.

37
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for having me.

39
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: It's great to be here, great to be with you, Yuri.

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: You know again, it's so hard to keep up what's

41
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: going on. You know, we did so many airstrikes against Yemen.

42
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: In the past few months, the Harry S. Truman Strike

43
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: Group engaged one hundred and sixty Bothy drones and missiles,

44
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: and we carried out six hundred and seventy strikes in Yemen.

45
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: It looks like Israel recalled their hostage negotiation team from Cotter.

46
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: Can you shed some light about what's the latest.

47
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: Well, the reason that Israel brought the negotiating team back

48
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 3: is there was no progress being made. The reason there

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: was no progress being made is that the Europeans recently

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: decided to back Hamas.

51
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 4: So Hamas is saying why should we settle? The Europeans

52
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: are going to rescue us.

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: And if you go back to the year twenty twenty

54
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: five or the same thing happened with Kamala Harris in July.

55
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 3: It was actually July seventeen, twenty twenty four, Israel killed

56
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 3: one of the leading I could say arch terrorists of Kamas,

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 3: I mean by the name of Muhammad death. He was

58
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: a legendary figure among Palestinians because he had survived seven

59
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: previous assassination attempts. They got him on the eighth try

60
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: and that really staggered Clamas.

61
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 4: And according to reports coming out of the region.

62
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 3: It was then that Kamas was finally starting to get

63
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: flexible on a hostage deal.

64
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 4: But then on July the twenty fifth.

65
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris came out with her speech saying there's too

66
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: much suffering in Gaza and I won't remain silent, and

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: these were her last to stop and the next day

68
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: Kamas said, we're not coming to the talks.

69
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 4: And it was obvious what happened.

70
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: They listened to Kamalis speech and realized that if she

71
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: won the election, they would win the war. So why

72
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: free hostages, why negotiate? And that's what happened then, and

73
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: it looks like something similar that happened now.

74
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Now we just had a release of Eden Alexander to

75
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: eighteen months in captivity. Tell us about that situation is

76
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: at a watershed moment? And what about the remaining fifty

77
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: eight hostages?

78
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: So it was a watershed moment in the sense that

79
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: even Alexander was freed without Israel freeing any murderers. They

80
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 3: didn't have to free any terrorists to get him out.

81
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 3: And it's obvious what happened. The Trump administration fights for Americans.

82
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: They said, Hamas, if you want to have dialogue with us.

83
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: If you want anything from us, you gotta free the

84
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: live American hostages. Now, the Biden administration knew that there

85
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: were eight such hostages at the beginning of the war,

86
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: and if they had taken similar action and just said,

87
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: Hamas you want something from us, you want us to

88
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 3: pressure Israel, the price for dialogue just talking to us

89
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: is you gotta free the eight Americans. We will never

90
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: know what would have happened, but I have to believe

91
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: the Kamas would have knuckled under it if they.

92
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 4: Had done so. It stands to reason that some of

93
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: the American.

94
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 3: Hostages who are now dead would be alive, like, for example,

95
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: Hirsch Goldberg, Poland, who was murdered in a tunnel right

96
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: next to Yajia Sinoar, the leader of Kamas who masterminded

97
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: the attack. He was one of the principal hostages, protecting

98
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: Sinnoar himself, because of course, Thomas knows Americans are more valuable,

99
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: and it seems to me that Biden could have gotten

100
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 3: him out the way Trump got Eeden Alexander out.

101
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 4: Unfortunately it didn't happen.

102
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: Sure well, tell us about the latest incursion into Gaza.

103
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: What's the endgame here?

104
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: So it's a very good question. No one really knows

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 4: for sure.

106
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: The endgame is when this law of dust settles, Camas

107
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 3: is not going to be ruling Gaza, the hostages hopefully

108
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: will be free. I would just point out parenthetically that

109
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: Israel has put forth what has to rank as among

110
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 3: the most generous peace terms in the history of warfare.

111
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: And that's not an exaggeration. You had this.

112
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: Hideous attack on October the seventh. If you take it

113
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: as a percentage of the population, it would have been

114
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: the equivalent of forty five thousand Americans being murdered ten

115
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: thousand taken hostage.

116
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 4: Now the war is coming to an end.

117
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: The Israelis are not asking for any sort of compensation.

118
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: They're not asking for territory. They're not even asking for

119
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: a peace treaty. Stop and think about that one for

120
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: just a minute. The minimum of any war is that

121
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: the attacker must promise to not attack again. The Israelis

122
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: are not even asking for that. All they're asking is

123
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 3: that the hostages be free, that Kamas go into exile,

124
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: and that the Calmas terrorists give up their weapons. And

125
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: here we're seeing, you know, European countries and many, many

126
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 3: Democrats saying no, that's unreasonable.

127
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 4: We want to give Lamas a do over. You know

128
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 4: it would because if the equivalent of I'm.

129
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 2: Sorry, no, go on finish, that'll be.

130
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: Equivalent of imagine if we're closing in on Berlin. We've

131
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: had this horrible, hideous war and now someone.

132
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 4: Says no, no, we got to stop. We got to stop.

133
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: The innocent German civilians are suffering. We got to leave

134
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: the Nazis in power, give them a doe over. They

135
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: say they're going to attack us again, but well, we're

136
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: going to stop because of those innocent civilians.

137
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: I mean, since nothing like this has ever happened in

138
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 4: the history of warfare.

139
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 3: If there's even one example anywhere, I would challenge anyone

140
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 3: to let me know what it is.

141
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 4: Certainly we never let our enemies off the hook.

142
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: I don't know why Israel has to be literally the

143
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: only country in the history of the world expected to

144
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: do this. And it's no secret who expects Israel to

145
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: do this is the left.

146
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: Donald Trump gets it.

147
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: Countries with right wing or even center right governments get it,

148
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: like Germany gets it, Hungary gets it. I could say Serbia, Italy,

149
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: many many others.

150
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 4: It's the left wing governments.

151
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: It's Mark Carney up in Canada, it's the government of Spain,

152
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: it's the government of South Africa. I mean they're taking

153
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: literally crazy positions that have no precedent in the history

154
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: of modern warfare.

155
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: Tell us about the impact, you know, it seems the

156
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Abraham Accords and the other Middle East agreements signed into

157
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: play by Trump. Tell us about the effects of Abraham

158
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: Accords right.

159
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: Now, it's really pretty remarkable.

160
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: We have this horrible war, but the Abraham Accords have

161
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: survived the ultimate test, the test of a horrible war.

162
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 3: United Arab Emirates has a tremendous amount of trade with Israel.

163
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: At the present time. It's measured in the buildings. It's

164
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: going up by double digits each and every year. This

165
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: is how you build peace. Unfortunately, shockingly, many people on

166
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: the left.

167
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 4: I've almost come out and condemned the peace treaty.

168
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I remember Jay Street just called it nothing

169
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: but a business deal, which I think is ridiculous. John

170
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: Kerry said that it would be impossible to ever have

171
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: a peace deal without the Palestinians.

172
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: Remember the speech no, no, no, and no.

173
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: Well, it turns out for each no, there was a

174
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: peace deal four country signed peace agreements with Israel. One

175
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: final point and a very important one. The Nobel Peace

176
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: Prize has been given out to so many others. It

177
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 3: was given to Barack Obama for doing frankly nothing. We

178
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 3: have a truly historic peace deal between Israel four Arab countries.

179
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: That's double all the Arab countries that were with Israel

180
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: up to that point.

181
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: There were only two Egypt and Jordan.

182
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 3: With those four, you doubled that number. But somehow Donald Trump,

183
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: Benjamin and Yo and an Arab leader have not been

184
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: recognized with the Nobel Prize Committee. And it tells you

185
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: something about the Nobel Peace Prize that it's not just

186
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 3: about bringing peace to the world. It's also a branding issue.

187
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: If you're sent to right, they're not that interested in

188
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: honoring you.

189
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I have in about a minute just summarize

190
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: what happens if there's another hoothy attack like on the

191
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Bengorian airport a few weeks ago.

192
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 2: The gloves off with Iran.

193
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: I don't think the gloves are off up with Iran

194
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: as far as America is concerned. I mean, America has

195
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,239
Speaker 3: resolved its issue with who these From Donald Trump's standpoint,

196
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: it's mission accomplished.

197
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 4: Trade has been resumed. That who They's have agreed.

198
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 3: Not to bomb shipping Israel is basically imposing the blockade

199
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: on the who these but Israel Mike Bomberron's nuclear capability.

200
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 4: We'll have to just wait and see what happens.

201
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: All right, great, really quick, tell our viewers about your book.

202
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: Where can they follow you on social media?

203
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: So I'm more you know, I'm kind of a twentieth

204
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: century kind of guy. I'm not that big on social media.

205
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: But the book is called American in Defata. It can

206
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 3: be got on Amazon, it is in certain bookstores. Books

207
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: doing quite well so far. We're really really proud of

208
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: that it Basically they'll find facts and that they won't

209
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: find elsewhere.

210
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: I can tell you that much. It's being distributed by

211
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 4: Simon and Schuster.

212
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: It's been fact checked everything in there is so far,

213
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 3: no one has found in inaccuracy in the book so

214
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: far alive, I can say Tom Friedman's books, which are

215
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: full of them.

216
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

217
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: Well, I want to thank you so much for joining us.

218
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: Very insightful and I'd love to have you back on

219
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: the show.

220
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. It was really great to be here.

221
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Yuri, everybody, Uri Kaufman.

222
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: And it's pretty incredible the turn of events here, and

223
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: it looks like there's some stability in the Middle East.

224
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: Trump's successful trip with the Saudis and Qatar. You know,

225
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Qatar has sponsored terrorism around the world and the International

226
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: Brotherhood of Muslims and you know ices types, and but

227
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: we took the gloves off in Somalia.

228
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to get into that when we come back.

229
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: The largest bombardment of any single aircraft carrier operation in

230
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: the history I think of the world happened in February

231
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: and it didn't get much coverage. And then when I

232
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: come back, we're going to talk about other stuff going

233
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: around the world. China expanding their nuclear program, North Korean

234
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: warship crashes on its launch, its maiden voyage, and more so,

235
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: don't go anywhere. Thank you for watching Breaking Point on

236
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: Real America's Voice News. I got some great guests ahead.

237
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about SpaceX and all kinds of

238
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: other stuff.

239
00:11:46,240 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: Thinks we'll be back. Welcome back, everybody.

240
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: You are watching Breaking Point on Real America's Voice News.

241
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining the family. So much

242
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: going on, if you blink, you're going to miss it.

243
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: I have some interesting news from around the world though.

244
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: You know, China is planning a major nuclear expansion, not

245
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: only being more reliant on coal China and India are,

246
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: but they are going to build ten new nuclear reactors

247
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: in China. So they are moving full guns and building

248
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: their infrastructure. I hope the United States follow suit. I

249
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: covered that last week with our audience, and we do

250
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: have plans to go mo nuclear. And I'm very excited

251
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: about these small module of reactors which will be online

252
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: by twenty thirty your power factory with them. They're very

253
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: small as opposed to like a nine hundred megawatt plant,

254
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: these things are like one to thirty five megawatch, so

255
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: it's really exciting technology. A North Korean warship crashed on

256
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: its launching. I think it was a freighter. In Somalia,

257
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: Navy planes carried out the largest airstrike in the history

258
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: of carrier strikes from the Harry S.

259
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: Truman.

260
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: It didn't get a lot of coverage, but they bombed

261
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: Al Shabab and ISIS targets in Africa in Somalia.

262
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 2: Pretty incredible.

263
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: Sixteen US Navy FA eighteen Super Hornets launched the largest

264
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: ever air strike from an aircraft carrier, dropping one hundred

265
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: and twenty five thousand pounds of ordnance on al Shabab

266
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: groups and ISIS groups hiding in caves in a cave network.

267
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: Pretty extraordinary stuff. In this South African farmer issue, you

268
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: know around a posa in the Oval office or in

269
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: the White House. You know, listen what's going on in

270
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: South Africa. These people are afraid down there, the white farmers.

271
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: Because we have to go back to Robert mcgabbi and Zimbabwe.

272
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: They did a similar thing a few decades ago, killing

273
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: and taking killing white farmers and taking away their land.

274
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: And Julius Malima of the National Assembly in South Africa

275
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: has called for the murder of white people who own

276
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: seventy four percent of the farms and only represent about.

277
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: Seven percent of the population.

278
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: There's a real threat there and it's something that we

279
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: have to watch and very important. But I want to

280
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: get two domestic issues right now. I'm so grateful to

281
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: have back with us. Mike Kucharski. He's the owner of

282
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: JKC Trucking, one of the largest refrigerated truck companies in

283
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: the US.

284
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: Mike Kuchowski, what's going on? Hey, thank you for having

285
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: me back on your show. Love to have you.

286
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: We've been talking for many years, you know, and it's

287
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: pretty incredible, you know, the cycles that we've been through

288
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: and the struggles after Trump left and Biden came in

289
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: and COVID and supply chain. But now we got a

290
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: new set of challenges. Some good news out there. Trump

291
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: puts an executive order in for truckers right to speak

292
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: English only.

293
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

294
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 4: Correct?

295
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 5: There's been an executive order that the truckers have to

296
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 5: be proficient in English, and they're going to test the

297
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 5: drivers out there and to make sure that they can communicate,

298
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 5: and you know, so to be honest, this is the

299
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 5: biggest news in a long time for truckers because this

300
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 5: executive order, in my opinion, has two parts. One I

301
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 5: believe that it will only make the roads safer for

302
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,239
Speaker 5: all Americans.

303
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: And two it.

304
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 5: Will hate will help stabilize trucking market rates that carriers

305
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 5: desperately need, that are being undercut by rogue carriers. And

306
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 5: let me break that down to you. You know, no

307
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 5: matter first, no matter what country, you deliver goods, and

308
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 5: it's important to speak English.

309
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: Read the local.

310
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 5: Language for safety and compliance in the United States, road signs,

311
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 5: safety warnings, permits, The federal regulations all read in English.

312
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 5: When I took my commercial driver's license test, it was

313
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 5: an English not a new concept. So they're bringing old

314
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 5: law from twenty sixteen back or they're enforcing it now.

315
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 4: True.

316
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 5: But the second thing of this executive order, I think,

317
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 5: in my opinion, we have a lot of these drivers

318
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 5: that have these B one visa drivers, and these B

319
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 5: one visas drivers are also part of these I like

320
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 5: to call them road road companies that were set up

321
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 5: as fake trucking companies or shell companies, which the Federal

322
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 5: Motor Carrier with the Federal Motor Safety Carrier Association, is

323
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 5: currently investigating. You know, there's an estimate that could be

324
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 5: up to about seven hundred thousand drivers out there with

325
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 5: these visas.

326
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: You know.

327
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 5: Example, give an example, they found a building and signal Hill, California,

328
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 5: I listed as an address for almost seven hundred trucking companies.

329
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 5: Five hundred those trucking companies listed the same phone number

330
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 5: and also with the same email. The email was wtf

331
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 5: fms CSA at AOL. These companies are literally mocking the

332
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 5: federal Motor Care Safety Administration, which I pray that the

333
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 5: FBI somebody you know sends it email to these guys saying, hey,

334
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 5: party is over. You know we're coming for you. But uh,

335
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 5: yeah this this So we have two huge problems currently,

336
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 5: and the new administration has figured out an executive order

337
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 5: you know, almost like a silver bullet that hopefully could

338
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 5: kill two birds and one stone and and help everybody.

339
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. So two issues.

340
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: One is are there any numbers to support that it's

341
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: more dangerous on the roads because of this. And also

342
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: the second part of it is to these rogue companies,

343
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: are they able to skirt uh spending the money and

344
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: and the correct way to run a business in the

345
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: trucking industry?

346
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 4: No?

347
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, So so what I mean to these real companies, houses,

348
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 5: companies like myself, we're paying drivers, you know, we we

349
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 5: we worksman comp, we held for health insurance for one

350
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 5: k uh, we pay corporate tax. Our drivers pay income

351
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 5: tax because drivers are w W two's Uh they're and

352
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 5: these other druggy companies are not paying these things. You

353
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 5: mean they're not paying corporate taxes. They're not well if

354
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 5: they are paying work than the comps, they're not paying

355
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 5: full amounts they're definitely not paying health insurance. And what

356
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 5: happens is you mean, this adds up to millions and

357
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 5: millions of dollars a year of overhead that they don't have.

358
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 5: So if you don't have this overhead and you're not

359
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: planning to be in business for the long term, I mean,

360
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 5: you don't even have to pay these things. You could

361
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 5: save money and then you can undercut the rates. And

362
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 5: the bigger issues right now, we're dealing with volume volatility,

363
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 5: which due to COVID and inflation. Everybody's fighting for the

364
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 5: same volumes because the volumes are low, and these guys

365
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 5: are coming in and even cutting it even more, which

366
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 5: is you know, killing killing all these uh you know

367
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 5: truckers that are complying fifty year old companies.

368
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: Sure, how about the safety of our roads?

369
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 5: Definitely, the safety are own Listen, I've been I've been

370
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 5: in this business for mean over over over twenty years

371
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 5: in houses. Truckers have a tremendous amount of responsibility out

372
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 5: there because we're not only on the roads with we're

373
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 5: on the roads with with our parents or children, our grandparents, everybody,

374
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 5: our families going to be and these drivers have to

375
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 5: know to understand certain things. Let me give you example,

376
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 5: when the drivers are screaming black ice. These drivers should

377
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 5: be able to understand these things so they don't make

378
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 5: cause an accident or cause a bigger accident. You know,

379
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 5: I mean to for the people's safety, simple things like

380
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 5: this low bridges we have in Chicago here. If a

381
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 5: guy can't read or low bridge, he's gonna get stuck

382
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 5: underneath a low bridge. About a couple of years ago,

383
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 5: we had that big lawsuit in Colorado where that one

384
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 5: driver got one hundred and ten years that he crashed

385
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 5: into a bunch of people. That driver was uneducated and

386
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 5: what he did was his brakes burnt up going down

387
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 5: a mountain, passed up several runaway truck ramps which are

388
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 5: there for trucks. Your brakes failed, that you go into

389
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 5: there and it stops the truck. He didn't know what

390
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 5: those things were, couldn't read those signs, passed multiple ramps.

391
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 5: That's why they give him one hundred and ten years,

392
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 5: and killed people on accident. He could have not killed

393
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 5: anybody at all. Obviously, then there was a big deal

394
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 5: about that. The governor had to get involved and lowered

395
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 5: his But those are perfect examples of these things happening,

396
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 5: and nobody wants to talk about these things.

397
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: How about the volume to shift gears? No pun intended.

398
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: How about the volume of trucking going on as the

399
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: tariff deals are hammered out?

400
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: Have you seen small businesses been held up?

401
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: I know a lot of them are saying that, you know,

402
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: they can't get parts.

403
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 2: They built their businesses around imports.

404
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: Ninety seven percent of businesses get you know, small businesses

405
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: import product.

406
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: What's going on and what do we have to look

407
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 2: forward to?

408
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 5: So it's too early to tell to feel the full

409
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 5: impact of these trade.

410
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: Wars, you know.

411
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 5: I mean we're only feeling bits and pieces now, but

412
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 5: we haven't gotten to that lag where China and the

413
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 5: whole everybody else shut off shipments to to the US,

414
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 5: which is coming up soon as it was to come up.

415
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 5: I want to believe the end of May or beginning

416
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 5: of the June. So we're gonna feel the full impact

417
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 5: or I mean, right now we're not feeling it, but

418
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 5: we're we're we're preparing for that, and then this is

419
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 5: gonna be It's gonna be horrible for rucking industry because

420
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 5: not only we down volume wise because of inflation. We're

421
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 5: going to be down more because of the executive order.

422
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 5: You mean, That's why I support that we move more

423
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 5: production to the US and we become more independent in

424
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 5: manufacturing and energy so we don't have to cross this

425
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 5: bridge in the future. I hope we learn a lesson

426
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 5: from from COVID.

427
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: Well, what about if the tariffs, you know, go down

428
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 1: and it's say only ten or twenty percent. A lot

429
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: of businesses say they can't absorb thirty percent, you know,

430
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: So do you think it's just a temporary glitch and

431
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: we back, we will be back on track.

432
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 6: You know.

433
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a good question.

434
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 5: I'm not economist. I can only guess as a business person,

435
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 5: you know. I mean houses, if maybe ten percent, if

436
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 5: I had a guess, I think that could be some kind.

437
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 4: Of absorbed or worked out.

438
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 5: Like I said, I'm just saying my opinion. But anything

439
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 5: more than that may might be hazard is even more

440
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 5: to the trucking industry, but houses, you know, I mean,

441
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 5: we're still making deals. The dust has not settled from

442
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 5: these trade wars. But I feel we're getting a traction.

443
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 5: And I like the pace we're moving at because we're

444
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 5: moving at pretty fast paced in my opinion.

445
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 2: All right, well that's good to know.

446
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: And you know Trump's bringing back what fifteen trillion back

447
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: to the US. It's going to take some time here.

Speaker 1: ninety eight. Thank you everybody for watching. You're watching Real

474
00:23:43,800 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: America's Voice News once again. Thank you for joining us.

475
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: You're watching Breaking Point on Real America's Voice News. My

476
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: parents watched the Space Race after John F. Kennedy said,

477
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: by the end of the decade, we're going to go

478
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: to the Moon. So exciting. When I was a kid,

479
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: I was the Space Shuttle, and when I was fifteen,

480
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: I was in the Air Force Auxiliary. I flew down

481
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: to Cape Canaveral in the back of a one thirty

482
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: Hercules and woke up. We slept in the webbing in

483
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: the back of the sea one thirty and when we

484
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: got off the plane, I had the T thirty eight

485
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: Chase planes for the Space Shuttle in front of US

486
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: at Cocoa Beach Naval Air Station, and then we got

487
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: a private tour of Cape Canaveral and the Space Shuttle

488
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: launch pad. It was really fascinating. But there's excitement again

489
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: about the space race, but not only because of space exploration,

490
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: but because of the ns issues SDI type operations, and

491
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: here to discuss that once again. She is a wealth

492
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: of knowledge, a PhD in astrophysics at Stanford University and

493
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: the author of Stars and Stripes, The Quest for American

494
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: Space Dominance.

495
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: Doctor Laura Finman. Welcome back.

496
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 7: Well, thank you. It's a pleasure to be on your show, David.

497
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: Thank you, you're welcome.

498
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: I love talking about this stuff and it's an exciting

499
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: time for a number of reasons. I mean, your background,

500
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: just to share with the audience again, you are a

501
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: NASA astronaut candidate in eighty nine, you oversaw a million

502
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: multimillion dollar contracts for commercial satellites and strategic Defense initiative.

503
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 2: We'll get into that.

504
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: And you're a STEM advocate, right and you are on

505
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: this Trump transition team for NASA.

506
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 7: Correct, that's correct, Yes, with three other people. It was

507
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 7: a real pleasure to be on that team to be

508
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 7: able to help.

509
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: So you made recommendations to the Trump administration on what

510
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: to cut, what to not cut, and tell us about

511
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: that experience and did they listen to you?

512
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 7: Well, it was It was a real honor to be

513
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 7: on that team. I was with three other very talented people,

514
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 7: and we each had our own area of expertise. So

515
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 7: we spent thirty long days kind of a crash course,

516
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 7: getting up to speed talking to all the people at NASA,

517
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 7: all the you know, managers, the head of directorates, and

518
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 7: from that and understanding, you know, the vision that Trump

519
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 7: has for the next four years. We made recommendations for

520
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 7: the Trump administration and the next administrator to consider in

521
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 7: all the areas of science, technology, aeronautics, human spaceflights, you know,

522
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 7: just mission procurement, all of those things. And a lot

523
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 7: of the recommendations that we made are reflected in the

524
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 7: twenty twenty six budget.

525
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: So we're going to get into a NASA, you know,

526
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: struggling as a standalone organization. You know, they used to

527
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: be the gold standard, right, but now you've got private

528
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: sector coming in. Maybe it looks more like a partnership

529
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: going forward. But I want before we get into that

530
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about Golden Dome. Now, you're an expert,

531
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: and you were a contributor to our efforts with the

532
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: Strategic Defense Initiative holding patents correct back from the eighties.

533
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was with they called it Star Wars then

534
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 7: and I led a lot of the technology developments for

535
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 7: that and actually received quite a few awards for the

536
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 7: technology who developed in a patent for lasers in space

537
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 7: for space defense. So that was a very exciting time

538
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 7: under President Reagan. And the Golden Dome, I think Trump

539
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 7: just introduced that, I think a few days ago, and

540
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 7: that is an upgrade given all the new technology advances

541
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 7: to the SDI Strategic Defense Initiative, and it'll be you know,

542
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 7: it's designed to be protective of any missiles or coming

543
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 7: into the US from other countries, but also from space,

544
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 7: and that is something a Space Force will get involved

545
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 7: in in the infrastructure and the defense part of that

546
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 7: Golden Dome. I think there's an analogy with the Iron

547
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 7: Dome that Israel has. This is the Golden Dome for

548
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 7: the Golden Age.

549
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: Well it's not that.

550
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not the first time we've explored stuff like this.

551
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: And I was in the Soviet Union in eighty six.

552
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: I saw the military in the streets. They spent like

553
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: nine ten eleven percent of their GDP on a military

554
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: and we were spending three. But our advancements with star

555
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: Wars technology, the particle eye on laser beam and other things, right,

556
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: we really got the leg up, and we kind of

557
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: bankrupted the Soviets right exactly.

558
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 7: That It was a very significant geopluts to uh to

559
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 7: have made that development. It made them kind of back

560
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 7: off and changed changed everything. And I think the Golden

561
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 7: Dome has the same potential.

562
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: So Okay, So in the fifties and sixties, you know,

563
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: they have spot Nick, the Soviets and Yury Gagarin. The

564
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: Americans were scared. We were hiding under our desks in school,

565
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: you know. They were they were going to put a

566
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: nuclear blast in the atmosphere, right and take out all

567
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: our electronics.

568
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: That was the fear.

569
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: And we had Niger Nike Ajax hercules missiles up and

570
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: down the east and west coast right here on Long Island.

571
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: There's still silos, isn't this Haven't we always been wanting

572
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: a defense system for our or an umbrella for our country.

573
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 7: Absolutely, And I think with the development of hypersonics where

574
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 7: China and Russia are actually leading the US.

575
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

576
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 7: You know, you need to adapt to being in that

577
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 7: dome to protect against these very high speed UH missiles

578
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 7: that are hard, that are very there's fast, they're hard

579
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 7: to track and to target. So that dome is critical.

580
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 7: And you can see Russia is using these hypersonic in

581
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 7: the in the war with Ukraine. China is leading in

582
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 7: the technology. We actually took a pause on the technology.

583
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 7: I think it was in the Obama years, maybe Biden,

584
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 7: but you know now we realize that was probably a

585
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 7: mistake and we're getting catching up really fast and advancing

586
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 7: that technology. Absolutely critical for us to be able to

587
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 7: be at the leading edge of hypersonics. But also in

588
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 7: the dome, you want the Golden Dome to protect you

589
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 7: from something that it's very very lethal, very dangerous hypersonics

590
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 7: missiles coming at you. They've also I think you know,

591
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 7: they've got missiles with multiple warheads that can also go

592
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 7: to different targets. That's another advancement of need to protect them. Wow.

593
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 2: Those yeah, yeah, the mervs.

594
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: The multiple re entry vehicles you can have one up

595
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: to like twelve warheads and an ICBM. We can target

596
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: twelve separate cities coming back into our atmosphere.

597
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: Right, it's very scary stuff. Uh.

598
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: And uh, you know we're going to get into China

599
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: and where they are going, uh and their investment. I

600
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: want to talk about that and the space program. I

601
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: just wanted to ask you though, how long before we

602
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: can have a Golden Dome type operations and what will

603
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: it include Canada?

604
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 7: I believe Trump mentioned about he wants it by the

605
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 7: end of his term, and I think he did want

606
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 7: to put an umbrella over Canada as well. Yes, and

607
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 7: but that's that's going to be quite Uh, it'll it'll

608
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 7: be a fast paced development to achieve that. But you

609
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 7: know when Trump wants, you know, he's very focused on it,

610
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 7: and I think it'll it'll happen.

611
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about quickly NASA, right. NASA had

612
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: a lot of setbacks the Space Shuttle to to you know,

613
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: the Columbia and the Challenger blowing up. It kind of

614
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: lost their edge, it seems like. And where does the

615
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: public private partnership, Where does the private partnership take over

616
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: from and will NASA start to take more of a backseat.

617
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of like maybe egos in

618
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: history there.

619
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: How is that going to How is that going to

620
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: play out?

621
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: I think.

622
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 7: The National Space Council and I think Trump administration is

623
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 7: really pushing expanding that commercial partnerships with NASA and by

624
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 7: doing things like you know, pulling back on the you know,

625
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 7: reducing the regulations that required by commercial partners, maybe less

626
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 7: control over the partners so they can move faster, you know,

627
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 7: do it cheaper, faster, and more innovatively. I think you'll

628
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 7: see definitely a direction in that. For example, in the

629
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 7: new in the budget that's been proposed, you can see

630
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 7: they're not funding past Artemis three. The Artemis was five

631
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 7: phases of going to the Moon and building a base

632
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 7: on the Moon, and it's become so expensive and so

633
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 7: behind schedule that the budget is kind of reflecting that.

634
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 7: After Artemis three, they're going to probably phase out their

635
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 7: big rocket, the Space Launch System by Boeing SLS, the

636
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 7: Lunar Gate Gateway Lunar Station, and also the Orion spacecraft

637
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 7: with Boeing, and that means you need a replacement, and

638
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 7: they're looking at my guess is they're looking more at

639
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 7: having commercial partners to do the transport of the crew.

640
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 7: The cargo, transport of the crew to the moon back

641
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 7: and get everything set up.

642
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Well, it's really important stuff here, and we're going to

643
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: see where that goes. We put off our mission to

644
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: the moon again. Maybe the Chinese beat us there. We're

645
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: going to get into that when we come back from

646
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: the break. Everybody talked to Laura Finman, PhD, astrophysicist University,

647
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: part of the Trump transition team for the Space Program.

648
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 2: Thank you for watching us. We'll be right back.

649
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Laura back for the next segment.

650
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: She's great. Thanks for joining us.

651
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: We always love seeing Maria from Switch to USA.

652
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 4: How are you. I am doing very well.

653
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 8: I am so pumped that we are here in Long Island.

654
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 3: Thank you.

655
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great. And I see you everywhere.

656
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: I saw you in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, Wildwood, New Jersey.

657
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 4: Is there anyway you don't go? There is nowhere we

658
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 4: don't go. Absolutely right.

659
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 1: You've been a supporter of a real America's voice breaking

660
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: point for some time. Now tell us about Switch to USA.

661
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 8: Well, Switch to USA is the mom and pop American manufacturer,

662
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 8: and we are the parallel economy for all of your essentials.

663
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 8: And you never know when you might need another supply chain.

664
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: Wink Wink so well made on American soil by American

665
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: factory workers.

666
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 8: Aimen to that. We have to rebuild our economy.

667
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 7: And we are doing Where can our viewers find you,

668
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 7: Please come to switch the number two USA dot com.

669
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 2: Switch to USA dot com. We love Maria, so great

670
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 2: to see you.

671
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 8: Thank you so much.

672
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 4: David, we love you too.

673
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 9: Thank you everyone awesome, Thank you Maria.

674
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 6: We all want to make a difference in our country

675
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 6: and make change, but we don't all have the ability

676
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 6: to do so. A lot of people are busy. They

677
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 6: can't join school boards, they can't get on borough council,

678
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 6: but they can change where they shop. And it's just shopping.

679
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 6: It's that simple.

680
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 8: We're gonna link arms and we're going to shop right

681
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 8: here at this American factory. They make the products and

682
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 8: they're all natural and they're good for us and they're affordable.

683
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 8: Everything made here in the USA.

684
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Breaking Point on Real America's Voice News.

685
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: I hope you have great barbecues this weekend with your

686
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: family and remember all of those that gave their lives

687
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: and their service to their country, so you can do that.

688
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: And I want to thank you again for watching us

689
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 1: today and joining the rav family. The new budget reconciliation,

690
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: the no tax on tips or overtime are in there,

691
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five billion dollars for deportations in

692
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: the wall, tax relief for seniors, and making twenty seventeen

693
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: tax cuts permanent. A couple of things I'm not thrilled

694
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: about in there. But those things are great and we

695
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: have to keep going. But what happened to no tax

696
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: on Social Security? I have to follow up on that one.

697
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: And Mike Davis from the Article three project always on

698
00:36:59,040 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: the War Room.

699
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 2: I got to work work.

700
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 1: With him when I covered the Trump trial last year

701
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: in New York City, the hush money trial, and he

702
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: gave all these reasons why you.

703
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 2: Know it's so important to deport the way we are.

704
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: You know, ten million illegal alliens in America at least

705
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: have come in in a last administration. A court hearing

706
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: would take thirty minutes a pop. A judge would take

707
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: thirty minutes to draft an issue in order. That's ten

708
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: million hours of judicial work. There's six hundred and seventy

709
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: seven authorized federal district judges. That equates to fourteen thousand

710
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: hours for each judge of work. So he points out

711
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: all this and we've never had to do with anything

712
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: like this, you know, since our founding. This is a

713
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: very unique circumstance here, and you know we have to

714
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: stay on track here. And how many lives did Trump

715
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: savority at the border from drug overdoses and crime from

716
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: illegals in America.

717
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: It's just a fact. It's huge.

718
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: And I know there's been big reductions in New Hampshire.

719
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's directly related to Trump's actions.

720
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: I know last year there was a reduction, but you know,

721
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: places like New Hampshi led the country per capita and

722
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: over those deaths. So I'm going to cover that and

723
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: bring you more information, and just remember the top ten

724
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: lobbyist for twenty twenty five, or for twenty twenty four,

725
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: the top ten lobbyists the recipients of their money were

726
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 1: all Democrats.

727
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: The top ten, by.

728
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: The way, and the top lobbyists of twenty twenty five

729
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: include the US Chamber of Commerce, Pharmaceutical Companies, National Association

730
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: of Realtors, General Motors, Blue Cross, American Hospital Association, the

731
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: American Medical Associations Meta, AARP, and others. So I got

732
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: to watch that and we're going to bring you more on.

733
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: That as well. But I want to welcome back.

734
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 1: Astrophysicist Laura Finman, PhD. Laura, welcome back.

735
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 7: Well, thank you, glad to be back.

736
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: Yes, we have a lot to cover, so I'm going

737
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: to rifle through these China, their advancements, hunter killer satellites,

738
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: their mission to the moon. Are they going to beat

739
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: us back to the moon even though they've never landed

740
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: on it before? We have six times? Tell us about

741
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: what's going on with China and are we are we

742
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: in jeopardy?

743
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 7: I would say if we don't change direction, we are

744
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 7: at risk of them beating us to the moon. They

745
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 7: are looking at a twenty thirty landing on the Moon

746
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 7: with astronauts, and one thing about China is they do

747
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 7: meet their schedules, whereas we always delay. So one of

748
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 7: the I think very exciting directions that Trump is proposing

749
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 7: for NASA is to really refocus NASA to you know,

750
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 7: to make sure that we hold that strategic high ground

751
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 7: and beat China to the moon as well as you know,

752
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 7: being competitive and lower th orbits. So you'll see in

753
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 7: the new budget that that priority is to beat China

754
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 7: and to get there first. And if we don't that,

755
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 7: we don't do that. If we keep things the way

756
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 7: they already are, we just won't make it. And so

757
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 7: it's absolutely critical. And I think, you know the goal

758
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 7: is to get an outposter based on the Moon and

759
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 7: then also to get humans on Mars and eventually a

760
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 7: sustainable city on Mars. I know Elon Musks is looking

761
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 7: at a SpaceX starship to Mars in probably twenty twenty

762
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 7: six when the Moon and the Earth Mars and excuse me,

763
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 7: the Earth are closer together, and he's looking at putting

764
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 7: an Optimus robot on that mission, which is kind of cool.

765
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 7: And then after that, you know, maybe twenty eight early

766
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 7: twenty nine, when the planets are close again, you'll look

767
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 7: at the human element. So a lot, a lot needs

768
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 7: to be done to make that happen. A very strategic

769
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 7: focus on human spaceflight. And there's also the reasons for

770
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 7: that is you want, you know, if we don't hold

771
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 7: a strategic high ground, you know, there's an impact on

772
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 7: national security, there's an impact on economic competitiveness and global influence.

773
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 7: So absolutely key to be the leader. And Trump has

774
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 7: realized that and you're seeing that reflected in the budget.

775
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: It well, I can't wait for that video transmission of

776
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: the robot doing the Trump dance.

777
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 7: That's perfect. I love it. That's great.

778
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to get into we have a little

779
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: bit more ground to cover here. The talent pool in

780
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: the space field in the United States. Is NASA suffering

781
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: and because the talent pool wants to go towards exciting

782
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: things like Blue Origin and SpaceX.

783
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 7: Absolutely are I think you you know, young people graduating

784
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 7: or even people midsay are seeing SpaceX and the Blue

785
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 7: Origins and rocket labs as kind of things that are

786
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 7: moving faster on the cutting edge and more exciting. And

787
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 7: so you're seeing a lot of the real the new

788
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 7: talent going in that direction. And even companies like Boeing

789
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 7: and Lockheed also struggle with this try to keep the talent.

790
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 7: And so NASA has a chance challenge in how because

791
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 7: of their culture is more of a government. It's grown

792
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 7: into a government bureaucracy. I think in the sixties it

793
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 7: had more of that SpaceX culture and now you know,

794
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 7: over time being a bureaucracy. It's not even my own son,

795
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 7: you know, went into did a summer job there and

796
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 7: he just got so frustrated with the bureaucracy didn't want

797
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 7: to go back to work at NASSA. So I think

798
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 7: that is that has a change, that culture needs to change,

799
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 7: and I think the UH, I think everybody's aware of

800
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 7: it and wants to make the changes to make to

801
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 7: fix that.

802
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we didn't have you know, we didn't have

803
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: the computers back in the sixties and slide roles, engineers,

804
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 1: talent that people got us to the moon.

805
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 2: It's pretty extraordinary.

806
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: But I wanted to talk to you about the STEM

807
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: programs in the United States. Do we have enough STEM

808
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: students to man all of these ambitions that the US

809
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: has and how do we get there if we don't?

810
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 7: Well, we don't. And you know, there's been a large

811
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 7: effort to get STEM integrated in the schools, but it's

812
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 7: really the needle's not really moving very well. I've done

813
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 7: a lot in trying to integrate into schools to get

814
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 7: more kids interested and excited about space, you know, collaborating

815
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 7: with you know, MIT and NASA to do space programs

816
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 7: in the schools. But I think it's a big issue

817
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 7: in you know, the schools have got a traditional mindset

818
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 7: and when you look at what employer. You know, all

819
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 7: the data of what employers are looking for. The top

820
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 7: six skills from all different directions are the STEM skills,

821
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 7: and it is not The education system is not designed

822
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 7: to produce students to do that. And that's something I've

823
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 7: also been passionate about trying to see how we can

824
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 7: change that, whether it's in school or out of school.

825
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 7: But we definitely But I do think that you know

826
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 7: what Elon Musk is doing, what Jeff Bezos at Blue Origin,

827
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 7: you know, the young people are seeing that, and that's

828
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 7: what excites them, engages them into wanting to go into space.

829
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 7: Just like in this when we were younger, and I'm

830
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 7: you know, you're younger than me, David, But when I

831
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 7: was younger, it was Star Trek, it was you know

832
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 7: what happened, you know, nineteen sixty nine when they landed

833
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 7: on the mood. That's what excited me to want to

834
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 7: be an astronaut. I think that just making you know,

835
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 7: what's happening now is I think also exciting kids as

836
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 7: well to get in that direction.

837
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: Well, you know, NASA was half to me when I

838
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: was in school. They said I took up space. So

839
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, but listen, I really really appreciate you know,

840
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: all that you've accomplished. And without people like you, you know,

841
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be doing what we're doing.

842
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 2: And it's really commendable.

843
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: And the level of you know, of thought and science

844
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: that goes into this. You know, people can't even tie

845
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: their shoes out there, so we need And they say,

846
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: students one hundred years ago were more well read and

847
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: we're better in math than they are now. So I

848
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 1: hope we're not just the TikTok generation and we get

849
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: we get on track. Can you tell our viewers where

850
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: they can get your book? And and why did you

851
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: write it?

852
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 9: Uh?

853
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 7: Well, it's on Amazon. And the reason I wrote it

854
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 7: is I wanted more of a layman's version so that

855
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 7: the general a general person could understand what's happening in space.

856
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 7: Like a lot of times people go, well, why are

857
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 7: we spending money on space? You know, what is the urgency?

858
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 7: And I think it's just really critical to understand how

859
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 7: important it is. You know, Russia and China are demonstrated

860
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 7: in space they can take out satellites. That means, but

861
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 7: our whole economy, our whole life is around you know,

862
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 7: GPS and phones and financial networks. If they take those out,

863
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 7: you know, we're going back into the dark ages for

864
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 7: a while. So it's absolutely critical to be advancing in space.

865
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 7: Not to mention the enormous amount of resources out there,

866
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 7: there's like a quadrillion kind of dollar economy in space

867
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 7: if you get it developed. And I think I did

868
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 7: want to mention one thing that a key technology that

869
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 7: really will create a big golden age of space or

870
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 7: a boom is that fully reusable rocket. You know right now,

871
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 7: you know SpaceX you've seen is that can bring back

872
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 7: the booster stage and you saw that amazing video where

873
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 7: they brought it back and grabbed it with arms. But

874
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 7: he's designed starship now to the upper stage. Is they

875
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 7: want to get that reusable.

876
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 4: And if they can get.

877
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 7: That fully reusable, the cost to launch is so much less.

878
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 7: The frequency of launching comes up, and then you're going

879
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 7: to it opens up the market, especially in the United States,

880
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 7: for a lot of companies to participate and really energize

881
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 7: that commercial market.

882
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and SpaceX just launched twenty three Starlink satellites from

883
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 1: Florida in the first launch with its new Falcon nine booster.

884
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: Very exciting. I got to say, I know a lot

885
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 2: of young people that have.

886
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: A renewed peaked interest in science and space exploration, but

887
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: especially defense because whoever controls space will have dominance. And

888
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 1: I want to thank you, Doctor Laura Lorna Finman. Where

889
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: can people follow you on social media?

890
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 7: I think my Twitter Doctor Laura Finman at doctor Laura Finman,

891
