1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: And I know people have talked to you about whether

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: or not you want to run.

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: Would you ever Probably wouldn't, But I do get tired

4
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 2: of seeing what's happening with this country, and if it

5
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: got so bad, I would never want to rule it

6
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 2: out totally, because I really am tired of seeing what's

7
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: happening with this country, how we're really making other people

8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: look like him and we not.

9
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

10
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 4: Good Monday morning, Ben Ferguson with you. It's nice to

11
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 4: have you on the forty seven Morning Update. And here

12
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 4: are the three big stories we're covering. You may not

13
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 4: hear this from the media, but countries around the world

14
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 4: are lining up to do a deal with Donald Trump

15
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 4: over tariffs. Now more than fifty nations have reached out

16
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 4: to the White House saying we want to get a

17
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 4: deal done. I'll have the latest on that in just

18
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 4: a moment. Also, you may have noticed the media is

19
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 4: trying to say the President is acting erradically on tariffs. Well,

20
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 4: that's just not true. In fact, we've got the audio

21
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 4: from all the way back in nineteen eighty eight where

22
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 4: Donald Trump said exactly what he's saying and doing today.

23
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 4: There is a constitutional crisis happening in this country as

24
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 4: district judges are doing nationwide injunctions to stop Donald Trump's

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 4: executive actions. Well, now Senate Republicans are saying uh huh,

26
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: and they're getting involved to take away power from some

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: of these activist judges. It's the forty seven Morning Update

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 4: and it starts right now.

29
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: Story number one, Hang tough.

30
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 4: That is the message from President Donald Trump calling on

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 4: Americans to ride out the tariff storm. Trump's job approval

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: didn't go down, didn't even stay even. In fact, it

33
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 4: rose during the tariff week. Another media fail. Trump's job

34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 4: approval rises four points as he puts Americans first, to

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: fifty three percent. If you were watching the mainstream media,

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 4: it was armageddon. As Donald Trump said, I'm gonna stand

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 4: up for American workers, bring back American jobs, and I'm

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 4: not flinching on tariffs with other countries that are taking

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: advantage of the US. This poll that was taken with

40
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: over one thousand registered voters between March the thirty first

41
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: and April the third show that Donald Trump's four point

42
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: jump in job approval was not the only rise since

43
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 4: March seven Trump's job approval from young voters between the

44
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: ages of eighteen and twenty nine has jumped a staggering

45
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 4: thirteen points, as many of them are looking at jobs

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 4: and manufacturing is a great opportunity for them. Among independent

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 4: and Democrats, Trump enjoyed a six point increase, meaning that

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 4: the Democratic talking points aren't even working on their own

49
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: party most tellings, support from black voters jumped a whopping

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 4: seventeen points in a single week. Why because they feel

51
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: like the president is actually trying to get them a

52
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: great job. Finally, more people's support that oppose Donald Trump's

53
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: tariffs on foreign countries by a margin of thirty nine

54
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 4: percent support to thirty seven percent. That a posed the

55
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: complete opposite of the story that was being told by

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: those on the left and in the media. Now with

57
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 4: all of that, you now knowing that the media is

58
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: lying to you, here's something else that they're not telling you,

59
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: and that is that the tariffs are actually working, bringing

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 4: people to the table outside the White House. Giving an

61
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: update on ABC this week, here is what they said.

62
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 5: I got a report from the USDR last night that

63
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 5: more than fifty countries have reached out to the president

64
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 5: to begin the negotiation. But they're doing that because they

65
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 5: understand that they bear a lot of the tariff, and

66
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: so I don't think that you're going to see a

67
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 5: big effect on the consumer in the US, because I

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 5: do think that the reason why we have a persistent

69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 5: long run trade deficit is these people have very inelastic supply.

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 5: They've been dumping goods into the country in order to

71
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 5: create job, say in China.

72
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: That coming from one of Trump's top economic advisors. So

73
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: what is actually happening with different countries and Vietnam, for example,

74
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 4: are making major moves and negotiations, in other words, buckling

75
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: and seeking a deal with President Trump on tariffs. As

76
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: you heard there from the White House, more than fifty

77
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 4: countries have reached out to the White House to begin

78
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: those negotiations. And as President Trump and his team said

79
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 4: early on, those that show up first will probably get

80
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 4: the best deal, and those that hold out, it's gonna

81
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 4: hurt your economy more than ours. Now, let's talk about

82
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: what happened with Vietnam. In a major victory that could

83
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 4: even be announced sometime this week, Trump saying that Vietnam

84
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 4: is now offering to cut tariffs on America to the

85
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: number of zero, President Donald Trump announcing that Vietnam wants

86
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 4: to drop the tariff on US goods entirely if a

87
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 4: deal can be struck between the two countries. Trump revealed

88
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: the major development following a phone call with the General

89
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 4: secretary of Vietnam's Communist Party Tolm.

90
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: I just had a very.

91
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 4: Productive call with the General Secretary of the Communist Party

92
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 4: of Vietnam, Trump announced, who told me that Vietnam wants

93
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: to cut their tariffs down to zero if they're able

94
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: to make an agreement with the US. We also know

95
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 4: the Vietnam flew with an emergency delegation to Washington, d C.

96
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 4: And arrived on Friday and are staying for fourteen days

97
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 4: to get the deal done now. The call comes days

98
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 4: after Trump announces sweeping worldwide reciprocal in baseline tariffs, which

99
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 4: included a hefty forty six percent discounted reciprocal tariff on

100
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 4: Vietnamese goods and poured it into America, the President saying quote,

101
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 4: I thanked him on behalf of our country, and I

102
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: said I look forward to.

103
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: A meeting in the near future.

104
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 4: The reciprocal tariffs Trump imposed on many countries will take

105
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: effect after midnight on April the ninth this coming week,

106
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: while the ten percent baseline tariffs on other nations are

107
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: set to take effect on Saturday. Nike stock, for example,

108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 4: will plunge on Wednesday and into Thursday following Trump's tariff announcement.

109
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: The company has one hundred and thirty factories in Vietnam

110
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: and some four hundred and sixty thousand workers. This is

111
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 4: just one example of exactly why Donald Trump is winning

112
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: on the issue of tariffs. And it's not just Vietnam.

113
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: There are also other countries that are running to sit

114
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: down with the President, including India. More than the fifty

115
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: countries that have reached out the White House to begin

116
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 4: their trade talks, and top economic advisors saying this on

117
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: Sunday that we believe this will be quote a sweeping

118
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: new set of tariffs that will be announced at new

119
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: and different levels because the companies that have come forward.

120
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: You look at places like India and they are eager

121
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: to sit down and work with the American people and

122
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 4: this government. Now, yes, the US stock market is tumbled

123
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 4: by around ten percent of the two days since Trump's

124
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 4: announced a new global tariff around the world. But we

125
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: also know is that the President told the American people

126
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 4: hang tough, and based on the poll numbers, the American

127
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: people understand what Donald Trump is trying to do. They

128
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 4: have faith in what he's doing, and they believe that

129
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: the President has leverage to get it done for the

130
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: American worker and so that we're not being taken advantage

131
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 4: of any longer.

132
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: Next story number two, there are a lot.

133
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 4: Of people that have said, how did Donald Trump get

134
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 4: the idea to do what he's doing with tariffs and

135
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: the American First policy. There are many that are acting

136
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: like this is a chaotic plan, a dysfunctional plan, a

137
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: plan that is radical or extreme that should never have happened,

138
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: and it happened on a whim from Donald Trump. There

139
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 4: isn't a bigger lie than that coming out of the

140
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: conversation with tariffs. How do we know that this is

141
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: a belief that Donald Trump has had for quite some time. Well,

142
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: you can look back to nineteen eighty eight. President Donald

143
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: Trump was on the Oprah Winfrey Show talking about countries

144
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 4: ripping America off in the trade war. She also asked

145
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: him about running for office, and he said something else

146
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 4: that was obviously very clear. He said he didn't think

147
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: he was going to run for office unless things got really, really,

148
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 4: really bad. Those two things came to fruition. And this

149
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: is all the way back in nineteen eighty eight. So

150
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 4: if you think Donald Trump is messing around, he's not.

151
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: He's believed it and been planning it for more than

152
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 4: thirty years.

153
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 3: Last year criticizing US foreign policy, what would you do differently, Donald.

154
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 2: I'd make our allies forgetting about the enemies, the enemies

155
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: you can't talk to so easily. I'd make our allies

156
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: pay their fair share. We're a debtor nation. Something's going

157
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: to happen over the next number of years with this

158
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: country because you can't keep going on losing two hundred billion.

159
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: And yet we let Japan come in and dump everything

160
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 2: right into our markets and everything. It's not free trade.

161
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: If you ever go to Japan right now and try

162
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: to sell something, forget about it. Open, just forget about

163
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: it. It's almost impossible. They don't have laws against it. They

164
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: just make it impossible. They come over here, they sell

165
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 2: their cars, they're VCRs. They knock the hell out of

166
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: our companies. And hey, I have tremendous respect for the

167
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: Japanese people. I mean, you can respect somebody that's beating

168
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: the hell out of you. But they are beating the

169
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 2: hell out of this country Kuwait. They live like kings.

170
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: The poorest person in Kuwait they live like kings, and

171
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 2: yet they're not paying We make it possible for them

172
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 2: to sell their oil. Why aren't they paying us twenty

173
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: five percent of what they're making. It's a joke.

174
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: This This sounds like political presidential talk to me. And

175
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: I know people have talked to you about whether or

176
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: not you want to run. Would you d would you ever?

177
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: Probably not? But I do get tired of seeing the

178
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: country rep Why would you not? I just don't think

179
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: I really have the inclination to do it. I love

180
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: what I'm doing. I really like it.

181
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: Also doesn't pay as well.

182
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: No, but you know, I just probably wouldn't do it over.

183
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't. But I do get tired of seeing

184
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: what's happening with this country. And if it got so bad,

185
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: I would never want to rule it out totally, because

186
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country,

187
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 2: how we're how we're really making other people live vikings

188
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: and we're not.

189
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 4: You listen to Donald Trump then, and there's a couple

190
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: of things there that are very consistent. He said, our

191
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 4: allies are ripping us off. They're ripping Americans off in trade,

192
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: and we start there. He also said it's a little

193
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 4: bit tougher with our adversaries. A great example of that

194
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 4: is what he's dealing with with Russia right now. There

195
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: are many in the press trying to attack Donald Trump

196
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 4: for not putting major sanctions on Russia. Well, he says,

197
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: he's trying to stop a war between Russia and Ukraine.

198
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: Why complicate things and make things worse by throwing tariffs

199
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 4: on them? But there's also a second point that the

200
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 4: media is omitting from the facts. There's not a lot

201
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: to put tariffs on because we have so many sanctions

202
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 4: right now on Russia already. So it's almost like there

203
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: is in fact. They said of tariffs, they are tariffs

204
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: of we're not doing anything with you. And yet the

205
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 4: media is trying to act like there's some sort of

206
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: Russia collusion. Three point zero are four point zero or

207
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 4: five point zero when it comes to Russia. This is

208
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: how they're going to continue to attack Donald Trump.

209
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: At the end of the day.

210
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 4: This is a plan that Donald Trump made clear back

211
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty eight. Is something he believed in. He

212
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 4: understands leverage, and that's why there's fifty plus countries waiting

213
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 4: in line to work a deal with Donald J. Trump,

214
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 4: the President of the United States of America.

215
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: And finally, story number three.

216
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: There is a real constitutional crisis happening in America right now,

217
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: nationwide injunctions coming from many different judges purposely to hamstring

218
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: President Trump's agenda. Pambonni, the Attorney General of the United States,

219
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 4: saying this about what is happening with these activist judges

220
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: and these injunctions.

221
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 6: The President is going to comply with the law. He

222
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 6: was overwhelmingly elected by an overwhelming majority of the United

223
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 6: States citizens to be our commander in chief, and that's

224
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 6: what he's been doing. Just since January twentieth, we've had

225
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 6: over one hundred and seventy lawsuits filed against us. That

226
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 6: should be the constitutional crisis right there. Fifty injunctions they're

227
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 6: popping up every single day, trying to control his executive power,

228
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 6: trying to control where he believes our tax dollars should

229
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 6: be allocated. And saying he won by an overwhelming majority

230
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 6: is so important because that's what the American people want.

231
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 6: What President Trump campaigned on and what he won on,

232
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 6: and he's implementing that agenda at a rapid speed. None

233
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 6: of us can keep up with them every single day.

234
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 6: And so it's just we're going after all of these lawsuits.

235
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 6: We're defending them all. We just got a great win,

236
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 6: and we'll continue to.

237
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: Fight, will continue to fight.

238
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 4: Well, now there are people in Congress that are standing

239
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 4: with the president over this constitutional crisis. We now know

240
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 4: that Senator Grassley is unveiling a bill to boost Donald

241
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 4: Trump in court and most importantly, limit the powers of

242
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 4: these radical activist judges. Congressional Republicans are now hoping to

243
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: turn the tide on the legal setbacks of President Trump's

244
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: executive actions with a bill to weaken the federal judiciary.

245
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: The Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley introducing a measure

246
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 4: to prohibit district court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, rulings

247
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 4: he believes are unconstitutional and should apply only to a

248
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 4: lawsuit's individual parties involved, and not an injunction on the

249
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: entire country. Grassley said the wave of anti democratic injunctions

250
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 4: against actions taken by the president. Said that these federal

251
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 4: judges have become the favorite tool of those seeking to

252
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 4: obstruct President Trump's agenda. Individual district judges who don't even

253
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 4: have authority over any of the other ninety two district

254
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 4: courts are single handedly vetoing policies the American people elected

255
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 4: President Trump to implement. Grassli said in a statement from

256
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 4: the four of the Senate in short, I'm trying to

257
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 4: fix a bipartisan problem that has been plaguing both Democratic

258
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 4: and Republican administrations alike. Senator Cruz also sounding of the

259
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 4: alarm at a Judiciary committee hearing about these activist judges.

260
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 4: Take a listen.

261
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 7: It's long been said that hypocrisy is the tribute that

262
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 7: vice pays to virtue. I have to admit I'm enjoying

263
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 7: listening to my Democrat colleagues suddenly discover the virtues of

264
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 7: the rule of law after four years where they brazenly

265
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 7: supported the most lawless Department of Justice and the most

266
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 7: politically weaponized department of justice our nation has ever seen.

267
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 7: We just heard the Senator from Rhye Island talk about

268
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 7: the imperative of protecting judges, and yet not a single

269
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 7: Democrat senator cared about the violent protesters that showed up

270
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 7: outside Supreme Court justices homes, including I might note female

271
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 7: justices like Justice Amy Coney Barrett threatening their family. And

272
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 7: Joe Biden's attorney general did and do a damn thing

273
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 7: and refuse to enforce the law to protect those judges.

274
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 7: Why because he agreed with the violent protesters and he

275
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 7: wanted to intimidate and threaten those judges.

276
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: Center Cruz is absolutely right.

277
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: The left has gone totally rogue, do not care what

278
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 4: the law actually says, and it's now time for the

279
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 4: Republicans in Congress to rein them in.
