WEBVTT - Six Months In - July 15th, Hour 1 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:03.000 All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:05.760 of you for being with us news you'll never get 0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.360 from the state run legacy media mob. Right down our 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.159 toll free telephone number if you'd like to be a 0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.040 part of the program, it's eight hundred and ninety four 0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:16.079 to one, Sean if you'd like to join us. We 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:20.440 got a lot going on today. Five days from now, 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.959 it will be the six months mark that Donald Trump 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:29.200 has been president. Six months. And I get that every 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.560 party is a coalition party, et cetera, et cetera. But 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:36.320 there's one thing that's really undeniable here, and that is 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:45.960 this is by far the most consequential, transformational six month 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:51.120 period of any new president, by far in the modern era. 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.760 I don't know, I think you can even maybe FDR 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.240 would be an exception, Roosevelt w being the exception, But 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.440 I don't really think so. I mean, when and everything 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.720 that is now happening is big. Now we expect the president. 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:07.839 By the way, he's going to be talking energy independence. 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.560 He did a gaggle. Well, I've liked it so much. 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:11.720 I think we're going to play a part of it 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.200 coming up later in the program. We haven't fully decided 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.120 yet well, we are thinking about it, but it was 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.360 really you know, he talked about a wide variety of topics. Also, 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.600 we have new ging Ridge today we'll talk about this issue, 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:28.720 considering he's the greates historian and professor about Donald Trump's presidency. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.279 We have James Comer on the auto pen scandal and 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.880 what I think is even more interesting than that, because look, 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.240 it was Joe Biden's chief of staff who gave the 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.559 final approval and Joe's auto pen, and Joe just set 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:45.479 up parameters for which they can offer clemency and pardons, 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.600 and the ordering of the auto pen was by the 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.280 chief of staff. That seems to me like it would 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:55.120 probably invalidate a lot of these pardons and commutations. We'll 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.920 check in with James Comer on that issue, will get 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.040 an update. And also we have an update on the 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.440 weaponization of our federal government, which I know this goes 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:08.520 back ten years from Russia Russia to PISA abuse. Everybody 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:12.320 was warned not to use Hillary Clinton's dirty Russian disinformation 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:16.239 dossier before they used it to ruin Carter Page's life. 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.080 Carter Page has been on this program many times. His 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.600 life was ruined as a result of it. You know, 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.240 it turned out Carter Paige was a patriot to this 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.040 country and that whenever he traveled abroad, he would come 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:32.480 back and tell our three letter agencies everything that he 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:37.000 learned and cooperated as a patriot with his country. And 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.000 this is the thanks that he gets. And it's ironic 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.639 that all the people that were warned not to use 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:48.160 the Russian disinformation dossier and as the basis of these 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:52.120 FISA applications years later, oh, knowing what we know now, 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.639 we would never have signed a James Comey signed three 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.400 of the four of them. But he was warned in 0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:00.160 both July of twenty sixteen and August of twenty six 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.639 not to use it because it's political information and it's 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:08.480 unverified and then unverifiabull and by December of twenty sixteen 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:14.240 they had completely debunked the dossier and Christopher Steeles let go, 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.600 and yet he still continued to use that dossier that 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.919 they knew his bogus and phony, and that was really 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.040 the Russian disinformation. But everything in between, you know, that 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:30.400 would include the fifty one former Intel agents in you know, 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.280 with that had no knowledge of Hunter Biden's very real laptop, 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:40.400 all the earmarks of Russian disinformation. Not one of the 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:45.280 fifty one people ever, Not one time they examined the laptop. 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.480 They knew nothing about the laptop except whink and Tony 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.320 Blinken wanted a talking point for Joe Biden going into 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:57.120 a presidential debate with Donald Trump. At what point do 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.480 we not realize that there is something called a deep 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:05.320 state and these are political operatives and high positions of 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.760 power that we're trying to put cinderblocks on the scales 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.240 of our elections. And then you could take it a 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.840 step further, the double standard when it comes to top 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:20.080 secret classified materials. Hillary Clinton's servers and bleach bit and 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:24.240 hammers and devices and sim cards removed, Nothing happened, No 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.320 reasonable prosecutor would prosecutor, according to mister Higher Honor himself 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:34.880 was now under investigation, James Camy, and you know what 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.599 was Brennan's involvement in all of this? What was Clapper's 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.960 involvement in all of this? This is now going to become, 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:47.440 I think, a massive investigation and a grand conspiracy investigation 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.599 that apparently has been open weeks ago by Cash Betel, 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.320 the FBI director, which I think is more than overdue 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.680 because if there are people that have been operating in 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.919 way that you abuse their power to undermine our elections. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.080 That would be something that we need to know about 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.640 and put in place measures so that it can never 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.640 happen again. I mean, it's so ironic when you listen 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.800 to radical leftist Democrats, because they're out there, you know, 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.599 scared to death. I mean, liberals are floating this idea 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.440 that Donald Trump is going to tamper with or cancel 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:26.200 the midterm elections. You former MSDNC host Joy Reid and 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.039 James Carvill suggesting in recent weeks that the twenty twenty 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.320 six midterms will be tampered with or outright canceled by 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.720 Donald Trump. And they're appearing during an appearance on the 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.120 Jim Acosta Show, did you know Jim Acosta? Hat to 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.200 show Linda, I didn't know Jim Acosta. I thought he 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.320 got fired by fake new CNN or let go or something, 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.359 or I don't know what he did. Nobody cared about 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.080 what you know, fake news Acosta has to say anyway, 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.360 But anyway, Carvell told him that he thinks there's a 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.520 major risk of Trump tamper They're just making this stuff 0:05:55.600 --> 0:06:01.359 up as they go along, and you know, I'm just 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.159 watching the radical left, and I'll tell you it is 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.200 the best thing that Republicans have going for them, as 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.960 Donald Trump has one big issue after another that he's 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:16.440 willing to take on and tackle that previous presidents would 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:21.120 never take on, never tackle, never go near, for fear 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.800 that they might fail. But Donald Trump has taken on 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:29.320 all of it, and he's proven to be successful, and 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.200 we're all going to be better off because of it. 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.839 The economy is going to grow. You know, we see 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.240 what happened at the border. We're seeing you know, criminal immigrants, 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:41.040 the illegal unvetted Harris Biden illegals and Majorca's illegals being 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.919 thrown out every single day, you know. And then what 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.480 a Democrats doing. Democratic leaders in the House, they're struggling 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.360 about whether or not they should, you know, support Mom Donnie. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:56.800 You know the guy, you know, Global Antifata himself, you know, 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.840 Hakeem Jeffreys is going to meet with what else does 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:03.880 this Hakeem Jeffries need to know about this guy that 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:05.360 he's going to give him the time of day. And 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.320 this is the interesting part of this is the Democratic 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:15.000 leadership is scared to death of Zoron Mamdani. They're scared 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.800 to death of AOC, They're scared to death of the squad, 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.120 They're scared to death of Jasmine Crockett, They're scared to 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:29.240 death of Grandpa Bernie, the radical socialist he is. I mean, 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.160 in the case of Mamdani, you're looking at Marxist Mamdani 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.800 because it's basically two each according to their need from 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.520 each according to their ability. Pocahontas is another one, and 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:44.600 basically the leadership is nonexistent. Chuck Schumer is minority leader 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:49.920 in name only, Hakim Jeffries is minority leader in name only. 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.720 And they are literally held hostage if they or they're 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.360 just complicit and agree with this, because this is madness 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:01.360 where they're taking the party. Even ram Rombo Deadfish admits 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.800 that his party is less popular than Elon Musk and 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:09.600 a scathing critique. You know, Obama pushing Democrats to toughen up. 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.240 Good luck with this, by the way, is imploring Democrats 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.360 to tough en up. But a private fundraiser in New 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.480 Jersey at his party's attempts to rebuild their coalition under 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.720 Donald Trump's second term, I think it's going to require 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.440 a little bit of less naval gazing and a little more, 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:28.000 little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it's 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:32.240 going to require Democrats to just toughen up. He said, Okay, 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:36.000 this is this is Democrats toughening up, because now the 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.120 Democratic leaders in the House have you know, they're they're 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:43.080 fighting their radical base and there's one you know, they're 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:47.199 they're trying to quell one impeachment push after another by 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.800 rank and file radicals that control their party. And during 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.360 a six week stretch during this year so far, House 0:08:55.400 --> 0:09:00.160 Democrats twice were confronted with impeachment votes forced by their 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.240 own rank and file members that had zero chance of passing. 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.800 And by the way, this ought to be a canary 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:07.720 in the coal mine if you don't think that the 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:12.240 twenty twenty six elections are going to matter now, if 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.320 you like the direction of where the country is headed 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.600 under Donald Trump. Again, we're five days away, it'll be 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.920 six months into Trump's presidency, this being his second term, 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.360 it's going to be six months. And you know, you 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.200 think a little bit more than a year ago, an 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:33.720 assassin's bullet came within a millimeter of taking President Trump's 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:39.040 life one millimeter. I mean that's how close that was 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.560 and there wouldn't be any Donald Trump. I remember watching 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:46.800 it live. I remember exactly where I was. I remember 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.960 exactly the moment this happened. I remember when he stood up, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.640 wondering if he would just go crashing down again, when 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.000 I saw the blood all over his face, and I 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:02.360 was feverishly text that people that I knew were around 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.600 him at the time that were there, and not not 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:09.120 long thereafter, I got worried that he was okay, And 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.600 then of course I had I breakfast the next morning, 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:14.920 you know, one morning with Steve Whitcoff, and then the 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:20.080 incident and Trump International took place, and literally I left 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.040 breakfast with him. An hour later, I got a phone call. 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:23.719 You're not going to believe this. They just tried to 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.960 kill the president again, and you know, the Secret Service 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.200 were now discovering they had ten days notice and they 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.480 didn't do anything about it. They didn't share the information 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.679 with local law enforcement, which they should have. And there 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.240 needs to be institutional reform. And then we were lied 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.680 to about a slope proof that wasn't sloped. But with 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.680 all that saying, you know, look at what has happened 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.480 in six months. Reflect you know, be grateful for what 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:54.000 has happened. And you know, not only did you ensure 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.679 that the president win all seven swing states and win 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:02.000 the popular vote, but his polo sees and his actions 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.800 one is bigger than the next. I mean, we now see, 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.200 you know, after twelve twenty million people whatever the number is, 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.800 we don't even know the number with gotaways. But now 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.080 our border is secure. Now they're in the process of 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:22.240 deporting criminal illegals, murderers, rapists, other violent criminals, cartel members, 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.840 gang members, drug dealers. You know, we have Iranian assassination 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.760 squads in the country. We have known terrorists in the country. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.319 Finding them all is going to be like finding needles 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.880 and haystacks. But they're working hard. I have news today 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:40.280 that thirteen hundred new people were apprehended. And you know, 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.600 look what the President has done with inflation. You know, 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.600 look at the largest tax cut in American history. Look 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.480 at the fact that working men and women are the 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:54.320 biggest beneficiaries of this tax cut. I mean the fact 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:58.240 that we have no tax on tips and overtime helping 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.840 older Americans out with Social Security. But you know, at 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:06.000 least beginning the effort to you know, to codify the 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.040 houses in the Senate actually is actually set for a 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:14.040 procedural vote as early as today to codify doze cuts 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.920 into reality. That's a really good thing. I know. Democrats 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.720 are out there lying about Medicaid. It's just not true. 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.960 You know, if Republicans didn't deal with this entitlement, it 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.960 would have ballooned by one point five trillion. That would 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:33.200 be insolvency. You know, under the new law, Medicaid remains 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:37.679 on track to spend four hundred and fifty billion dollars 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:42.640 more than we're spending now, a seven percent increase. In 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:47.080 spite of Democrats claiming that there are major cuts taking place. No, 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:52.080 Republicans are not stripping coverage from vulnerable groups. That the 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:56.160 entitlement was created to serve pregnant women, the blind, the disabled, 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:00.000 the elderly and the like. And yet but they are 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.440 are projecting that one point four million illegal immigrants are 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.920 beneficiaries of Medicare I'm sorry, Medicaid, and that four point 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.520 eight able bodied people now are going to be subject 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.920 to community engagement requirements. There ought to be some type 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.960 of work or volunteer requirement they put that in place. 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.200 Federal law bars Medicaid from covering illegal immigrants. But for 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.080 years states have used these workarounds to do it. House 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.400 Republicans are showcasing they can take you know, they can 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.440 take control of this stuff. You know. But if you 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.480 actually look at all the success, not just at the border, 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.320 not just at the economy, not just with you know, 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.840 taking care of working men and women, you know, you know, 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.360 we're dealing with many of the messes that were left 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:51.160 behind by the last administration. Iran as off the table 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:56.560 as a possible nuclear threat. The president is working as 0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:00.120 hard as humanly possible. Putin couldn't be negotiated with. Now 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.640 he's getting tougher. Okay, he gave him a chance, They 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.520 gave a Ran a chance, you know. But we have, 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.960 you know, so much more work to do. What the 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.720 president's doing with energy. It's in Pennsylvania today talking about energy. 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.400 What the president is doing ten trillion dollars in commitments. 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.480 There is a story out today that you know, Apple 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:22.680 is now going to spend another five hundred and a 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.920 half a billion dollars five hundred million, five hundred million 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.440 dollars investment in the US mind for rare earths. We're 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:36.560 going to have manufacturing for automobiles pharmaceuticals, semiconductor chips, rare earths, magnets, 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.120 you know, things that we've been far too dependent on 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.360 other countries for. You know, in the world. We're going 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.600 to rebuild our military, We're going to rebuild the next 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.680 generation of weaponry. Every one of these things is a 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.560 big deal. All right, twenty five to the top of 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.680 the hour, eight hundred nine to four one Shawn a number. 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:54.840 You want to be a part of the program. Look, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:59.920 small business is the backbone of America. Small business. You know, 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.280 you provide a service, jobs to your neighbors, you lift 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.840 up your community, you sponsor a Little League team, You 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.640 care about your customers, you get involved in your community. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.280 But when it comes to the services required to run 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.320 your business, big tech, well they kind of gave you 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.040 second rate treatment. And I'm talking about the big carriers 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.960 at and T, Verizon, TEA Mobile. You know you'll wait 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.720 on hold for hours. We've all experienced that, only to 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.000 talk to a C team from overseas and you can't 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:32.360 even understand you and pure talk. My wireless company, a 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:37.360 veteran owned company champion small business, and what they offer 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:41.640 small business is white glove service with your own dedicated 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:46.080 account representative from the US. You get the same exact 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.120 cell tower, same five gen network as the big carriers, 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.960 and you know, best of all, businesses like yours are 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.600 saving a fortune every month. The average family that switches 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.720 to pure Talk is saving over one thousand dollars a 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:01.280 year for the exact same service companies as a landscape 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.280 company in Kansas City, they have twelve lines. They cut 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.640 their bill from seven hundred and fifty seven bucks a 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.680 month to three hundred and eighty seven bucks a month. 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.120 That's almost fifty percent off. Or an appraisal company in 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.920 Washington with eleven lines cut their bill from five hundred 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.480 and seven bucks to two hundred and fifty five bucks 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.600 a month. And look, pure talk business could save you 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.280 fifty percent on your bill. You deserve better and pure 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.640 Talk provides the choice, the option that you never had before. 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.200 The switch is simple, fast and easy. You know, I'll 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.640 pound two to fifty say the keyword save now, pound 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:36.120 two to fifty. Keywords save now. Make the switch to 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.040 the carrier that will make you a priority and offer 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:43.040 you concierge service. I just told you about Adam Schiff, 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.400 very interesting. What's happening with him? Linda correct me I'm wrong. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:50.960 He got the preemptive pardon. I thought it was for 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:55.720 other reasons, but maybe this mortgage issue is the reason. 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:57.880 I don't know yet. We're going to do a deep 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.920 dive into it. We'll get the answers. As we speak, 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:06.600 the President is gathering CEOs for this unprecedented faith Economy 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:12.840 meeting to renew us spirituality, financial uh uh, financial business, 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.680 and charitable work. Also the President meeting on energy in 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:21.600 Pennsylvania as we speak, and and AI and how that's 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.879 connected to it, which I'm really not really that sure about. 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.639 Uh anyway. The President also allocating forty million dollars to 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:32.760 create a national Garden of American Heroes featuring statues of 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:37.639 two hundred and fifty iconic figures as a patriotic counter 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.560 to monumental removals that have taken place around the country. 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.159 And you know, a planned opening for the end of 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:48.359 his presidency and a final location to be determined. That's good. 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.320 We've got a lot of progress going on. We'll get 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.679 into that in a second. Mike Waltz sitting through this 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.679 ridiculous Senate here ange us such a waste of time, 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.920 and you know, we're watching a lot of a lot 0:17:59.920 --> 0:18:02.639 of new news being created every single day, every minute, 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.880 every hour of every day, and a lot of it's 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.240 very very good news. And this is this is the 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.639 you know, we're almost at the six month mark of 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.720 the Trump presidency. Now the Supreme Court, on top of 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:18.040 every other success, allows the Trump administration's mass firings at 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:22.200 the Department of Education. Why is this important? It's important 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.120 if you care about your kids' education. Well, unless you're 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.760 in my free state of Florida. They have been rated 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.840 one or two in the country in terms of the 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.480 top public schools in America. And it's a it's a 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.199 state with very low taxes. How is that possible? And 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.080 all these states that spend massive amounts of money per 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.439 capita per student on education. You know, how is it 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.520 that you know, we spend more per capita per student 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.280 on education as a country, and we come in thirty 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:56.880 seventh in terms of math proficiency, reading proficiency, or fortieth, 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.840 depending on what the year is. It's insane. The Department 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.800 of Education has failed. This unholy alliance between teachers' unions 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.600 and the Democratic Party has been a disaster. And President 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:12.399 Trump is breaking the is breaking this stranglehold with the 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:16.480 Supreme Court agreeing yesterday to pause a lower court order 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:20.000 that required the Department of Education a reinstate. Nearly fourteen 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:23.399 hundred employees have been laid off while proceedings over the 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.800 Trump administration's effort to dismantle the agency to continue, and 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.080 they granted a request from the Trump administration to lift 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:35.119 the injunction issued by a US district judge which blocked 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:38.600 the mass layoffs of the Department of Education. Now, i'm 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:42.919 you know, you can't fail more spectacularly. You know, in 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:48.680 a best case scenario, you're looking at institutionalized mediocrity overall. 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:53.600 In a worst case scenario, it is institutionalized failure. And 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.520 let me tell you what education is. Education is a ladder. 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.560 It's the ladder to the success, ladder to the American dream. 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:06.240 It's a ladder to, you know, becoming financially independent. It's 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.119 a ladder to not being dependent on government. It's a 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:14.280 ladder that will allow you to aspire and achieve that dream. 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:16.600 What does the average person want? We're all the same. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:21.080 I think most people want a nice house, decent house 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.359 in a safe neighborhood with good schools for their kids. 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.159 They want a nice car to drive, you know, they 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.400 want a big screen TV. They want to be able 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.479 to go out to eat on a weekend with their family, 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.760 not worry what the cost is going to be occasionally, 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.919 not even every weekend, you know. And they want to 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.560 put away money for their retirement, maybe money that they 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:45.000 can pass on to future generations. It's not complicated. This 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:49.000 is why the President's economic plan is so profound. This 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:54.640 is why ten trillion dollars in committed investments in manufacturing 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.480 actually matter. And there were so many predictions of doom 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:03.679 and gloom, you know, by the economic sector and Democrats. Well, 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:05.720 you know, I've looked at the news today in the 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.480 Wall Street Journal, America's biggest bank said today that the 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:14.879 US economy showed signs of resilience despite escalating threats on 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:19.520 global trade, a sign that American corporations and consumers are 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:25.320 still charging ahead. Jamie Diamond, JP Morgan Chase reported better 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:28.840 than expected results for the second quarter and showed few 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:32.240 signs of slowing down, with all the banks underlying businesses 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:36.040 increasing revenue and profit. The outlook for the US economy 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:39.719 has improved as President Trump has delayed and modified as 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.840 plan tariffs no he made, He's making trade deals with 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:49.199 countries like Vietnam and Great Britain and even China and 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:53.080 other countries are in the works as well. And Jamie Diamond, 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:57.960 who's repeatedly warned that there's widespread complacency among investors about 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:00.520 the risk of the economy, acknowledged that there had been 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:03.840 positive developments and his bank's economists had dropped their call 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:07.639 for a recession. Oh nice of him to jump on board. 0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:11.000 There was the doom and gloom crowd I mentioned earlier. 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:13.880 I'll talk more about it later. Apple now backing President 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:19.240 Trump's you know, plan to acquire rare earth minerals. They're 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:21.679 investing a half a billion dollars on top of the 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:25.240 half a billion they're investing in Texas so that we 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:29.280 manufacture our phones. Here, I mean ten trillion dollars in 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:34.600 investment coupled with you know, what is incalculable impact are 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:37.639 an economy. We can be an energy rich country. This 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.120 is what the President is talking about in Pennsylvania even 0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:42.320 as we speak. Matter of fact, let's dip into it 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:44.119 really quick. Here. Here's what the President's saying. 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.679 Trillion dollars has never been anything like that in history. 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:50.440 You can go for years and they didn't have numbers 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:54.200 like that. And if you look at the last administration, 0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:57.840 you had negative numbers, you didn't have positive numbers. You're 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:01.159 going in the wrong direction of the hottest country. And 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:04.480 we we're going to keep it that way. Today's commitments 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:08.000 are ensuring that the future is going to be designed, built, 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:11.440 and made right here in Pennsylvania and right here in Pittsburgh. 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:13.720 And I have to say, right here in the United 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:17.360 States of America, and let me. 0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:19.760 Explain what the President is talking about here. That is 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:25.080 a ninety billion dollar AI and energy investment just for 0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:29.240 the just for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It's pretty amazing. 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:32.960 By the way, even CBS News has had to admit 0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:35.359 that millions of car buyers in the US are going 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:38.440 to get tax relief thanks to this, you know, big 0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:40.760 beautiful bill that was signed in the law in July 0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:43.679 fourth by the President. And then there's the myth that 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:46.560 somehow if you cut taxes, that's going to hurt the economy. No, 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:51.840 it doesn't hurt the economy. The reality is revenues increase. Well, 0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:55.520 they're they're increasing for a lot of reasons. Number One, 0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:59.160 people are going to have opportunities for higher paying career jobs. 0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:03.080 When ten t rellion in manufacturing is unleashed, with energy 0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:06.880 being unleashed, that's other high paying career jobs for Americans. 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:11.840 By deporting criminal illegals in this country, that means less 0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:15.840 competition for these high paying career jobs. Even the CBO 0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:19.840
