We'll be 31 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: discussing that as well. But first we start here today. 32 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: The first American Pope elected today at the Vatican on 33 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: just the fourth vote, on just the second day, very quick. 34 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: Pope Francis, who is elected in twenty thirteen. 35 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: Took five votes. This is even quicker. 36 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: Cardinal Robert Prevost announces the first American Pope, taking the 37 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: name Leo the fourteenth. Leo the fourteenth. Go ahead and 38 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: put that screen back up there. You can see it. 39 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: It's the first American Pope. And that's history in the 40 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: making right there, the Vatican announcing the election of the 41 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: first American Pope in the history of the Catholic Church. 42 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: Shortly after the white smoke began pouring from the chimney 43 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: of the Sistine Chapel earlier today, Cardinal Proto Deacon Dominique 44 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: MEMBERTI announced Cardinal Robert Francis pre votes electionist post to 45 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: the thousands of faithful who had descended on Saint Peter's 46 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: Square after the one hundred and thirty three voting cardinals 47 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 1: deliberated in the Sistine Chapel for only about twenty four hours. 48 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: By the way, the longest deliberation was three years three years. 49 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: The shortest I believe was Pope Francis until today. I'll 50 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: have to check my history books, but I think the 51 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: shortest was In twenty and thirteen, pre vot Is, a 52 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: sixty nine year old Augustinian, appeared on the balcony of 53 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: Saint Peter's Basilica, wearing the traditional red cape of the papacy, 54 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: a cape that Pope Francis had chosen not to wear 55 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: after his election in twenty and thirteen. 56 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: Now the question is where. 57 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 1: Will this pope end up on the spectrum of conservatism liberalism? 58 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: Where does it go from here? A lot of folks 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: were hoping for a more conservative pope after Pope Francis, 60 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: who was historic during his twelve years, but some were 61 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: hoping for something more conservative going forward. Joining me now 62 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: is the former Ambassador to the Holy See, that is 63 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: the Vatican.

Do 65 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: tell me history. I think if I'm not reading the 66 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: history books wrong. This is the shortest time frame involved, 67 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: or one of them. It only took four votes over 68 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: barely twenty four hours. 69 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: Quite a day, yeah, speaking with. 70 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 4: The shortest, there was one other one that they said 71 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 4: was one day, but it could have been a little 72 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 4: longer than this one. 73 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 3: This was barely a day. 74 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Pope Francis took five votes. This was just four. 75 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: And give the background of this new pope, now, Hope 76 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: Leo the fourteenth as cardinal, he was brought to the 77 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: Vatican by Francis for a very important position. 78 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: Explain that to the folks. 79 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: And he was right there, basically the right hand of 80 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: Francis in recent history, wasn't he? 81 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 4: He was Pope Francis made him put him in charge 82 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 4: of the all the bishops worldwide, four thousand something of them, 83 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 4: and his job was to work with the bishops and 84 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 4: deal with them. And I know I've known Father Bob 85 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 4: since the mid nineties, so I'm really excited that he 86 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: got it. 87 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 3: He'll be fantastic. And he's also an American. 88 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: So you call him father Bob, Well, I didn't. 89 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 4: It'll take a little good used to it. He was 90 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 4: actually at our house in Naples last winter. 91 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: Really, so you know this man? 92 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, when our kids went to an Augustinian high 93 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 4: school and I was on the board for many years, 94 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,119 Speaker 4: and he when he was head of the Midwest Augustinians, 95 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 4: he would come down to the monthly board meetings in Tulsa, 96 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 4: and then I actually went to his installation of the 97 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 4: Midwest Augustinians. And then when we moved to Rome in 98 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 4: two thousand and five, he also moved to Rome to 99 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: take over all of the Augustinians. So we saw him 100 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 4: all the time over there as well. 101 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: So your relationship with him is long term and personal. 102 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: So okay, share a few. 103 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 4: Have the kids that are known him, well, Oh, he's 104 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 4: a super guy. He's very calm, very spiritual, gentle, but 105 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 4: he's also able to organize the groups. You know, he 106 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 4: organized the Midwest Augustinians and did a great job. Then 107 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 4: he became the head of all of the Augustinian Order. 108 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 3: In Rome, did a great job. 109 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 4: He spent time in Peru. 110 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: Helping the poor. 111 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 4: He's the full deal, he really is, and the fact 112 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 4: that he's an American I think is just really great. 113 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: Okay, So pop friends had his detractors, had his critics 114 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: for some of his left of center opinions and weighing 115 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: in on issues that some thought he maybe should not 116 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: have weighed in. I'm politically speaking, this pope has had 117 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: some disparaging things to say about the current President of 118 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: isaiahs Donald Trump and JD. Vance both he's weighed in politically. 119 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Where do you think he might come down on a 120 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: political spectrum as he is going to be as progressive 121 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: as Francis more conservative with your personal insights, would you 122 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: be able to say that or is. 123 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 2: This yet to be seen? 124 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: Well, it's definitely yet to be seen. 125 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 4: But I think I know Pope Leo pretty well and 126 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 4: I know that he will be merciful and he will 127 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 4: have his eye out for the poor. That's been a 128 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 4: big part of his personal ministry. But at the same time, 129 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 4: he's not nearly as radical as put Francis, and I'd 130 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 4: be very surprised if he used some of the aggressive 131 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 4: language that put Francis used from time to time, like 132 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 4: against the President of United States, things like that. 133 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: There were some posts on expert They were reposts from 134 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: then Cardinal Robert Prevost to Father Bob, as you called him, 135 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: but they weren't from his own hand. He reposted some 136 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: things that have people asking questions today. 137 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: But from your point of. 138 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: View, then you just referred to as radical Pope Francis. 139 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: I think a number of people in the Catholic Church 140 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: believe the same way, don't they? Looking back over twelve. 141 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 4: Years, Well, he did a lot of things that had 142 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 4: never been done before. I mean he changed the question 143 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: of where do you make cardinals from how many Catholics 144 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 4: do you need to tend to to where are they 145 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 4: located in the world, which I'm not so sure that 146 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 4: where they're located in the world is nearly as important 147 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 4: as taking care of their customers. 148 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: Fair point you make. So can you give me any 149 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: insight here on the historical significance of Leo as a 150 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: pope name Leo the fourteenth. 151 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: I certainly can. 152 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: And why did he select this? 153 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 4: I wrote a lot about that in my book The 154 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 4: Global Vatican. Pope Leo the thirteenth was one of the 155 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 4: transformational popes in recent history. He was the very end 156 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 4: of the nineteenth century, and he wrote one of the 157 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 4: more important encyclicals has ever been written, called Arum Novarum, 158 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 4: about the injustices, inequalities and disruptions that the Industrial Revolution 159 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 4: brought that needed to be addressed or we were going 160 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 4: to have all kinds of chaos. And turns out he 161 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 4: was right. We got communism and socialism around the world. 162 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: So he served right at the end of the eighteen 163 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: hundreds and coming into the twentieth century, is what you're. 164 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: Saying, right, Yeah, Ream Novarum was eighteen ninety three. 165 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: So why would do you think that. 166 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: The new Pope Leo the fourteenth that chose that name, 167 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: does he think that he may be transformational? Might he 168 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: bring the church back to its more conservative foundation and some. 169 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 2: Of the things that were reflected in Pope Leo the. 170 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 4: Thirteenth, Well, I think some of the same things that 171 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 4: Pope Leo the thirteenth wrote about and was concerned about 172 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 4: are happening right now. You know, we've had a rapid 173 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 4: widening of inequality in the United States and other places, 174 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 4: which is straining some of our institutions, and. 175 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: That can be a problem in the long run. 176 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 4: Just like Popo Leo wrote about we're having rapid technological change, 177 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 4: just like he wrote about the Industrial Revolution, which is 178 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 4: rapid manufacturing change and with a lot of parallels. And 179 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 4: we have problems going on all around the world as 180 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 4: they did at the end of the nineteenth century. 181 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: You're exactly right about that. By the way, Ambassador, you 182 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: look at what's happening now. We're going to see more 183 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: radical change in the world in the next ten years. 184 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: I believe that we have the last ten thousand because 185 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: of AI and robotics and self driving cars and all 186 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: sorts of things that are happening. Of course, you can't 187 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: underestimate the impact of cell phones and computers and instant 188 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: connectivity and all the things that happened. And listen, I 189 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: think these cell phones and the Internet of the devil's playground. 190 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to guess that Pope Leo the fourteen thinks 191 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: the same. 192 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 4: Well, you can't hide from technology, but you've got to 193 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 4: harness it and take away it's rough edges. And I 194 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 4: think that it's very encouraging to see some of the 195 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 4: activities in schools now to deal with cell phones and 196 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 4: to reduce the abuses of social media. I mean, the 197 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 4: pressure I must put these children under in grade school 198 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 4: and high schools. 199 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 3: I'm just glad we didn't have to do it with 200 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 3: our three. 201 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: Put it that way, what do you think about what 202 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: do you think about the reintroduction of God into the 203 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: center square, into the school, into society. We all know 204 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: that COVID took a terrible toll, not just on Catholic churches, 205 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: but on churches and buildings of warship all over this 206 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: world because people were forced to stay home. 207 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,359 Speaker 2: A lot of people have not returned. 208 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: There's also a lot of question about the finances of 209 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: the Catholic Church in more recent years, and so the 210 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: handlings there. There are some things that need to be 211 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: addressed as far as that goes and putting people back 212 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: in serving the customers. I think is how you put 213 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: it here a moment ago, mister ambassador, what would you 214 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: think would be the priorities for him coming in? 215 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 4: I think he's going to have to deal with church finances. 216 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 4: They're in a terrible mess. Very few of these church 217 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 4: leaders are really skilled in handling money. They get a 218 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 4: lot of people that take advantage of them. I think 219 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 4: Father or Pope Leo now has been running the Augustinians 220 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 4: for many years and he's got a lot of experience 221 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 4: in managing the assets of an ecclesiastical group. 222 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 3: That'll be helpful. 223 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 4: Also be helpful to stimulate the interests of young people 224 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 4: in the church, and Pope Francis did a good job 225 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 4: of that, and I think that this pope we'll be 226 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 4: able to build on that. 227 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 3: And that's a worldwide thing that we need to do. 228 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 4: You know, these we see these young people in the 229 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 4: United States saying, well, we're going to start going to 230 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 4: church again. 231 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 3: That's a great thing. 232 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: That is a great thing. 233 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: And I want to leave this on some positive note, 234 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: because you have the church's finance have come into focus 235 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: here recently, and some things that certainly need to be 236 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: cleaned up. But for you personally, and I've noticed about 237 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: three times in this interview you've had to correct yourself 238 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: from saying Father Bob to say, Pope Leo, I mean, 239 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a transitional period here you are, mister ambassador. 240 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: But do you hope to travel to the Vatican to 241 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: see him sometime soon? 242 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 4: Will you still be able to see your old friend. 243 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 4: I'm sure we'll be able to do that at some point. 244 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 4: When there's a it'll have to be a reason. Maybe 245 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 4: there'll be something to do with the diplomatic core. We 246 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 4: still go back and forth, and I go speak at 247 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 4: the NAC, the North American College now and then, and 248 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 4: to the Diplomatic Corps, and I'll look forward to the 249 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 4: chance to see Leo the fourteenth. 250 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: There you have it, historic day, great day for Catholics. 251 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: You seem quite pleased, and from what I could tell 252 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: in Saint Peter Square, the faithful quite thrilled as well. 253 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 2: I'll give you the last word. 254 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, thanks for having me on. 255 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 4: Thanks for taking such great interest in having an American 256 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 4: pope and a really good guy, an Augustinian pastoral leader. 257 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 4: I think he's going to make a great contribution to 258 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 4: the church. 259 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: Mister Ambassador Francis Rooney, I always appreciate seeing you, sir, 260 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 1: Thank you, thanks for having me on. Really appreciate it. 261 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: The Ambassador is a good man as well. Coming up 262 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: after the rak, President Trump announced a trade deal with 263 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: the United Kingdom earlier today, we'll check in with our 264 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: good friend a man ahead. 265 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 2: She's at the White House. She was there for all 266 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 2: the actions today. It's up next in America's Voice, Lawyer. 267 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: You know, most news days of twenty twenty five have 268 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: been busy. 269 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: This one has been exceptional. 270 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: Earlier today, President Donald Trump and owns a trade deal 271 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: with the United Kingdom, calling it a great day for America. 272 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: Trump stated that the agreement with the UK is the 273 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: first in a series of trade agreements that his administration 274 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: has been negotiating over the past few weeks. President Trump 275 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: also said that the deal will increase access for US 276 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: agricultural products, though he added that the final details were 277 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: still being written and taken care of. Here'll be to 278 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: sort it out. His White House correspondent to co host 279 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: of Just the News No Noise Amanda had a man 280 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: and I to see you today. A beautiful day in 281 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: the nation's capitol, although he said it's a bit warm, 282 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: and we talked about this before you came on. 283 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: It's an exceptionally busy day at the White House. 284 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: I mean they're all busy today with the Pope and 285 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: everything else happening. It's an exceptionally busy day. But this 286 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: UK trade deal is incredibly important. It's the first one 287 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: that they have announced since the tares were put in place. 288 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: What can you tell us? 289 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 5: If I know President Trump, he's probably a little mythed 290 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 5: that the announcement of the new pope took all the 291 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 5: air out of the media room, but of course this 292 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 5: has its own media exposure on its own because it 293 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 5: is so pivotal. As the President talked about during that 294 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 5: meeting in the Oval Office, this has been over two 295 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 5: decades in the making. It is something that I think 296 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 5: is going to be pivotal to all of the other 297 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 5: trade agreements. This, for lack of better terms, is breaking 298 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 5: the seal and it will set the standard for the 299 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 5: agreements going forward. As you mentioned agriculture, but also beef 300 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 5: and ethanol. These are experts that are going to now 301 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 5: be free flowing to the UK, and you look at 302 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 5: our past deficit and it is high time. One of 303 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 5: my favorite comments of the day, you know, President Trump 304 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 5: is usually the humor in the room, but UK's ambassador 305 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 5: to the US, Lord Mandelsson, said something to the effect 306 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 5: of we want to thank President Trump for his characteristic 307 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 5: eleventh hour phone call to kir Starmer demanding more from 308 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 5: the deal, which which was humorous but also very true 309 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 5: about this president because when it comes to the America 310 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 5: First agenda, he's just always going to push for a 311 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 5: little bit more, a little bit more benefit for the 312 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 5: United States, a little bit more benefit and cushion for 313 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 5: the American people, and that was evident today. It was 314 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 5: lovely having Prime Minister kre Starmer on the phone supporting it. 315 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 5: And you know, like you said, a lot of these 316 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 5: details are going to be coming out. It is set 317 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 5: now at that reciprocal ten percent trade, which is going 318 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 5: to be the baseline going forward. I know that there 319 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 5: are a lot of other nations. Howard Lutnix got bestent 320 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 5: President Trump. They have all talked about how there are 321 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 5: numerous other nations that are in talks right now. I 322 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 5: would imagine that they are probably at the five yard 323 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 5: line and this is probably going to push them over 324 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 5: into goal territory. So more news to come in the 325 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 5: next few days, I imagine. 326 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right about that. 327 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the first first one to sign gets 328 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: a good deal. They're pleased with it. It helps out 329 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: exports from the UK to the United States and back 330 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: to the UK from here. 331 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 2: Now, as you know, Amanda, there's apparently. 332 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: Going to be some meetings this weekend Saturday in Switzerland 333 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: involving the Chinese, and of course that's the big conversation 334 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: for everybody, the Americans of the Chinese. Can they go 335 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: toe to toe and play hardball with tears? 336 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: Apparently they can. 337 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: A word from China right now is that a number 338 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: of factories have already closed because there's no demand for 339 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the products being created there. Look, Jijipan 340 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: cannot stand up to that. We still have the biggest 341 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: economy in the world and they can only go so far. 342 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: So I think that that's a breakthrough as well. 343 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: What would you make of the conversations coming up on Saturday. 344 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, China I think has a little bit 345 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 5: of false confidence because they do probably have the largest 346 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 5: labor force in the world. Unfortunately it is mainly slave 347 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 5: labor force. The thing is is that China needs our 348 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 5: market more than we need Chinese goods, and Chinese goods 349 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 5: have flooded practically every marketplace in the United States, and 350 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 5: President Trump has made a concerted effort to bring that 351 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 5: industry back home. And something else he mentioned in that 352 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 5: press conference this morning, nearly ten trillion dollars worth of 353 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 5: reinvestments and repatriation of businesses and manufacturing back to US sores. 354 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 6: Look by American. 355 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 5: Even our new pope is American, So it's obviously paying 356 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 5: off in all different kinds of arenas. 357 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to guess that the President will make 358 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: hay out of that as well. One last thing, Mark 359 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: Tarni having been in the Oval Office this week and 360 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: the President asked in front of the Prime Minister newly 361 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: and stated, prime minister from Canada, will you be taking 362 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: tariffs offt No, that's the way it is when asked 363 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: about China, Yes, dating me taking tariffsoft. No, that's the 364 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: way it is. Donald Trump is not blinking. He can 365 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: be criticized from the left and on Chicken Noodle News 366 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: and whatever else, doesn't matter. He's sticking to what he 367 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: says is going to work. And apparently today's announcement about 368 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: the UK, he's showing that there is progress being made. 369 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 2: Last word to. 370 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 5: You, Yeah, what a Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde scenario 371 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 5: with Mark Carney. 372 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: Just a few days ago. 373 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 5: He was talking smack about President Trump and President Trump's 374 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 5: tariffs and then he gets in the Oval Office. Look, 375 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 5: you get on President Trump's home turf and you're already 376 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 5: in a very very tight situation where you've got to 377 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 5: toe that line. But you know, President Trump is not 378 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 5: going to step down with Canada. He's not going to 379 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 5: step down with Mexico as he did not with the 380 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 5: United Kingdom, and I imagine every other country is going 381 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 5: to be the same, especially China. 382 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right, Amanda.

Look, these judges are going 437 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: to be defanged, if you will here. Surely they're going 438 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: to have their claws removed. This is never the way 439 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: it was supposed to be put together. It was never 440 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: designed this way. Can you imagine going back to, you know, 441 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: big decisions in this country. 442 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, mister. 443 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: President, your emancipation proclamation has been set aside by a 444 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: district judge in Maryland or whatever the case may be. 445 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 2: This is not how it works, sir. 446 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: These judges are out of their lane, and either the 447 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: Supreme Court's going to reign it in or the Congress 448 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 1: is going to reign it in. 449 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: But this will not stand. 450 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: But I applaud your sheriff's for standing up the constitution. 451 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,479 Speaker 2: What do you say, Well, that's exactly correct. 452 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 7: In fact, we would love to ask any of these judges, 453 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 7: these activist judges, what part of the Constitution is President 454 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 7: Trump violating. 455 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 6: You don't get just to give. 456 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 7: Your opinion or your political opinion on any of this. 457 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 7: You might be Democratic, Republican, We don't really. 458 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 2: Give a damn. 459 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 7: What we care about is if you're following and enforcing 460 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 7: the constitution, submit in your decision the part of the 461 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 7: Constitution that President Trump is violating. If you can't do that, 462 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 7: then stay out of the way. And we're really proud 463 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 7: of the sheriffs across this country that do have the 464 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 7: president's back, especially Florida. All sixty seven of the sheriff's 465 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 7: there voted unanimously to get behind Colm Homan and Ice 466 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 7: on deportation and they're helping and it's working. And tell 467 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 7: me which sheriffs in this country don't want to get 468 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 7: rid of these criminals, especially the gangs and the terrorists 469 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 7: that have now infiltrated our country in every single state. 470 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 2: Well, exactly right. And here's the thing. 471 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: You know, you see these people take the judges out 472 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: of them for a second. But the Senator van Holland, 473 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: excuse me, Senator Chris van Holland, that goes to El Salvador, 474 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: other members of Congress and you know, go to El Salvador. 475 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: They don't want these folks as their neighbors. They want 476 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: them to be my neighbor or your neighbor. I mean, 477 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: they don't want them in their neighborhood. They just want 478 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 1: to send them back because you know, virtue signaling this 479 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: is nonsense. They live in their data communities with their 480 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: armed guards while pontificating about how wonderful it is to 481 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: have these people come back in That are rapists, murderers, 482 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: drug dealers. 483 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 2: The list goes on. 484 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: And that's not true of all of them, but the 485 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: ones that are being deported, the ones that have MS 486 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: thirteen gang tattoos on their fingers, I'm sorry, they need 487 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: to go. And here's my question about due process, sir. 488 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: If your first act of being in this country is 489 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: breaking the law isn't removing you part of the due 490 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: process automatically. 491 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 7: Yes, in a lot of ways it is. And certainly 492 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 7: if there's a Latin American or Hispanic that gets caught 493 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 7: up in some of these raids, I certainly want there 494 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 7: to be some recourse for them if they're an American citizen. 495 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 7: But these others, as soon as they're identified as being 496 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 7: here illegally, they need to go.

I appreciate his leadership working 504 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 7: with President Trump. But we have a lot of work 505 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 7: to do here still, because there's tens of millions of 506 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 7: illegals here that still need to go home. I appreciate 507 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 7: President Trump's creativity in offering them a thousand dollars and 508 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 7: a free ride to get home. Yes, go, that's a 509 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 7: lot cheaper than what we have to do. Otherwise, So 510 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 7: make America safe again.

President Trump made remarks on 550 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: the timing of the ceremony. The trade talks between the 551 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: two nations are set to kick off this weekend in Geneva, Switzerland. 552 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary of Scott Pascent and US Trade Representative Jamison 553 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: Greer will meet with a high level Chinese delegation in 554 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: the first major talks between the nations since the trade 555 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: war began. And as the trade war continues, many questions 556 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: what the outcome will be if China's willing to stop 557 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: ripping off America and the rest of the world. Frankly, 558 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: here'll be to discussed. This is Miami GOP committee woman 559 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: and chair of the Capitol Hill fight Club, Angie Wang. 560 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: I thought we weren't supposed to talk about fight club, Angie, 561 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: but there we go, just putting it out there. 562 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 8: No no words about the fight club. But I'm glad 563 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 8: you brought up in live TV. 564 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,479 Speaker 2: Well there it is, all right. 565 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: So look, the word is out of mainland China from 566 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people. 567 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: I know. 568 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: Factories are closed, people have been sent home, losing their 569 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: jobs or at least being laid off, a lot of unrest. 570 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 2: Look, President Chief spent. 571 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: A lot of time eliminating the competition around him over 572 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,239 Speaker 1: the last ten years, but he didn't eliminate all of it, 573 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: and he didn't eliminate the generals. And if there's this 574 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: kind of discontent in China. It will not last long. 575 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: They won't take it. And the fact of the matter 576 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: is China needs to strike a deal to get those 577 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: factories running again, to make sure that when we're importing 578 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: into places like Los Angeles and Long Beach, those ships 579 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: are full of shipping containders. 580 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 2: Right now they're not. 581 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: I think China's found out we're tough. 582 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 2: To deal with and they need to pony up. What 583 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 2: do you think? 584 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 8: No, absolutely, And what we're seeing on the ground in 585 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 8: China is that there are now protests everywhere from Seshchuan 586 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 8: to Mongolia because the factories have remained closed for several 587 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 8: weeks now. The Minister of Interior in China has projected, 588 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 8: and I think this is a very low estimate, of 589 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 8: forty million people out of work right now. 590 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 6: The factories are closed, and that's going to trickle down all. 591 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 8: The way to supply chain, to communications, to marketing, so 592 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 8: all these jobs are affected. Now, Remember that Chinese they 593 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,719 Speaker 8: don't have social networks like we do. They don't have 594 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 8: social security, so that one child policy that one child 595 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 8: takes care of sometimes for parents, elderly parents, and that's 596 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 8: their retirement. So for one kid to not be working 597 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 8: right now, it means the entire family suffers. And what 598 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 8: that's going to equate to in days, if not weeks 599 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 8: to come, is going to be the social unrest. And 600 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 8: that's why you're already seeing the brewings of protests on 601 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 8: the streets to open these factories. A lot of these 602 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 8: factory workers have not been paid and they don't see 603 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 8: any payday coming up. They don't know how to put 604 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 8: food on their table. So you can see how they 605 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 8: have to strike a deal. President Trump, holding onto his hardline, 606 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 8: that was the best best negotiation ever, all right, So we. 607 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: Saw the UK come to the table today. At least 608 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: that's what we're told. A few details we worked out, 609 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: but the first one and step up and say, yes, 610 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: we have a deal. It'll be ten percent on either 611 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: side of the line, which we could live with because 612 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: you got to make a little bit of money to 613 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: run the ports and different things that have to happen. 614 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: Understand that, no matter what directions things are going, do 615 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: you think we can get to a ten ten tie 616 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: with China when it comes to taros? Do you think 617 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: we can do that with South Korea, Japan, the EU, 618 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: the EUS. 619 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: From what I understand, and you know, lease how on 620 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 2: this will take? 621 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: But the EU fairly close to saying we can make 622 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: a deal here. What do you think can we get 623 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: this done across the board? 624 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 6: I would love to see that now the EU. 625 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 8: I know that leaders there are holding chats with other 626 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 8: world leaders trying to see if they can circumvent it. 627 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 8: I don't see any other way because Trump will continue 628 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 8: the hard line. And every single day that passes, their 629 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 8: cargo ships are sitting on the docks not being shipped here, 630 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 8: and all those goods may be wasted if they're perishable. 631 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 8: So you know, one by one, these countries are folding 632 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 8: President Trump. All he's ever wanted was fair trade, no 633 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 8: longer free trade. And I think we're going to get 634 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:42,959 Speaker 8: there by the summer. 635 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's important that we get this done. Luck, and 636 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: you look at what's happening right now. The price of 637 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: gasoline is down three cents since yesterday, Nicholson's last week 638 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: sixty cents a year ago. Inflations at two point four percent, 639 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: the unemployment rate study at four point two percent, which 640 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: is pretty close to full employment. 641 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: The economy, the fundamentals are there. 642 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: If Jerome Powell would play ball, and I'll let you 643 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: fill in the blank there. If Jerome Powell play ball 644 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: and drop the interest rates as he should, mortgages and 645 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: car loans would again be stimulated and he would be 646 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: on the move. I think they we're in for a 647 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: great economy here. I think we're going to get some 648 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: more of these trade deals. I don't know how long 649 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: it will take to work one out with China, but 650 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: she has got to be feeling the pressure at this point. 651 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump came to play, He meant it, and it 652 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: looks like good things are going to happen. 653 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 2: I'll give you the last word. 654 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 8: Now, President She of China is definitely feeling how to 655 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 8: play with Trump. He was definitely trying to line up 656 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 8: over the years another basket of currencies and other trade 657 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 8: deals and rare mineral deals, and he didn't have enough 658 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 8: time to actually. 659 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 6: Well sideswipe the US. 660 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 8: And you have President Trump here who is doing a 661 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 8: great job making a mayor first and making sure the 662 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 8: Chinese can no longer take advantage of American workers and 663 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 8: also of our consumership. So I think this is all 664 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 8: going to come to end by summer. China cannot survive 665 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 8: without the US. We are one six of their economy. 666 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 8: So I think President Trump did a fantastic job holding out. 667 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 8: I hope to see a trade deal soon. 668 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 2: I hope so too, Angrey. 669 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: It'd be good for America, it'd be good for the 670 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: Chinese and for everybody else. 671 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 2: By the way, thank you for being absolutely appreciate it. 672 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: Thank you all Right up after the break, as we 673 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: discussed earlier, Colonel Robert Francis Promos has been elected the 674 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: new Pope, marking the first time in history an American 675 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: has been elevated to the position Pope Leo the fourteenth. 676 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 2: There he is more about that straight ahead. 677 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: Well, as you know, we discussed at the top of 678 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: the program of the former Ambassador to the Holy See, 679 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,439 Speaker 1: Francis Rooney. 680 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 2: The elevation of a new pope. 681 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: He's an American, which makes him the first American pope 682 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: in history, which is a which is it's a milestone. 683 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 1: Sixty nine year old Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has been 684 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: elevated the highest position in the Catholic Church. And to 685 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: no one, no one knows what he's going to be like. 686 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: His papal name is going to be Leo the fourteenth. 687 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: A lot of questions here. Among his first words is 688 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: pope the other fourteenth reminded the faithful gathered in Saint 689 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: Peter's Square that God loves us all without condition or limits. 690 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 2: Hear me to discuss this policy. 691 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: Advisor and founder of your children, Elizabeth hu Or Elizabeth, 692 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 1: thank you for being here. 693 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 2: We talked about this briefly just before you came on. 694 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: He was selected was the new Pope by Pope Francis, 695 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: to basically be his right hand, a very powerful position 696 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: in the Vatican where he would oversee the bishops and 697 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: see who got elevated to be a bishop. We're all 698 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: quite clear that Pope Francis a very progressive pope, could 699 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: be gentle about it on this day now, the Ambassador 700 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: Francis Roney thought that this Pope will be more conservative. 701 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: You're not convinced. 702 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 2: Tell me, no, I'm not. 703 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 6: Steve, the first American pope from Chicago. What could go wrong? 704 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 9: Not unlike the first American pope and president president from Chicago. 705 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 9: You know, as a lifelong Chicagoan who's been weaned on 706 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 9: the Chicago Democratic politician machine. To me, this really raked 707 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 9: of rank politics. Prevost was a baby cardinal. He has 708 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 9: only been a cardinal for a year and a half. 709 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:46,240 Speaker 9: He was immediately elevated to a very politically influential position 710 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 9: as head of the Diecastri for the bishops. So he 711 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 9: was able to elevate bishops and also sack bishops. And 712 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 9: for both of those actions he's taken in his short 713 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 9: period in Rome, he has, in my opinion, sacked one 714 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 9: of the most holy, faithful Catholic bishops in America. 715 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 6: That's Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas. 716 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 9: You know, he's often been called America's Bishop because he 717 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 9: has been a faithful Catholic. 718 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:25,399 Speaker 6: I'm really speaking truth to power. I believe that Prevost. 719 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 9: Is going to be in the image and likeness of 720 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 9: porge Brigolio, Pope Francis. He is an open borders promoter. 721 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 9: He he is, as you just saw on the logia, 722 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 9: he was using a lot of the kind of what 723 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 9: I considered kind of the trite language of Pope Francis. 724 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:43,959 Speaker 6: We're going to. 725 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 9: Build bridges and he also, I think it's important for 726 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 9: your listeners to know he was responsible for placing the 727 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 9: notorious Cardinal McElroy in the Washington d C. 728 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 6: Dioces. 729 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 9: My hunch is in it's a very strong hunch that 730 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 9: Cardinal Soupitch of Chicago has been pulling all the strings. 731 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 5: You know. 732 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 9: This was a virtual unknown prevost was young, relatively young. 733 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 9: There were one hundred and thirty three electors. Most of 734 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 9: these electors state didn't even know each other, and so 735 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 9: they only had four short votes to pick the next pope. 736 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 2: So that's well the shortest. 737 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: It's one of the shortest papal conclaves ever. Francis was 738 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: selected on five votes over a couple of days. This 739 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: is four votes and basically twenty four hours. I found 740 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: one maybe that happened in a few hours after a 741 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: pope died after a few days way back in the 742 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: twelfth century. 743 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 2: Other than that, this is. 744 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: The fastest elevation of a pope that I have ever seen, 745 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: and that does concern me. We don't want open borders policies. 746 00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 1: We don't want welfare for all policies. Look, I concern 747 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: myself with children that need help, of course I do. 748 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: Am I a humanitarian to those developing countries that need help, 749 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: of course I am. But a lot of this, uh, 750 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the comments of Pope Francis undermine I 751 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: believe not only the United States, but the Catholic Church 752 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: and its own doctrine. He was contradictory to his own doctrine. 753 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm not Catholic, I'll say that, you know, for full disclosure, 754 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm not. 755 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 2: But I can observe and see what's happening. And it 756 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 2: does concern. 757 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: Me that we have a protege of Pope Francis here. 758 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,800 Speaker 2: That's the word that comes to mind. What do you say? 759 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,359 Speaker 9: I think you're absolutely right, and he is. You know, 760 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 9: he has tweeted himself. Prevos has gone after J. D. 761 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 9: Vance Uh for his deportation of the Maryland man, and 762 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 9: he has been very vocal about going after the Trump administration. 763 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 9: And so this gives me great concern that you have 764 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 9: not only in Washington the see Cardinal McElroy, who is 765 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 9: very pro immigration in anti deportation, but now you have 766 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 9: an American pope who is equally vociferous on this issue. 767 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 6: So Trump has his work cut out for him. 768 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 9: Additionally, what I'm very concerned about is that we need 769 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 9: to watch this new pope like a hawk. I mean, unfortunately, Steve, 770 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 9: they did not, the cardinal electors did not vet this guy. 771 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 6: He's been in hiding. 772 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 9: In Peru for most of his clerical career and we 773 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 9: need to understand exactly how he's going to clean up 774 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 9: the clergy abuse mess from Po Francis. I'm a child 775 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 9: advocate and attorney who's worked in clergy abuse cases. I 776 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 9: think Pot Francis was the premier predator protector. There needs 777 00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 9: to be an actual movement by this pope immediately to 778 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 9: clean up the mess and get rid of the predators 779 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 9: who have been elevated and protected by Francis. And frankly, 780 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 9: he does not have a good reputation and record down 781 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 9: in Peru where he was for many years, so again 782 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 9: we're faced with amen. Yeah, a lot of questions. So 783 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 9: I would encourage all your listeners to. 784 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 6: Watch watch this papacy. 785 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 9: He plays tennis and the media is going to be 786 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 9: gaga over him, of course for the next six months. 787 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: But this is a critesy and here's why I say that. 788 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 1: I'm just reading. I'll keep the name out of it. 789 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: But a high profile Catholic friend of mine posting on 790 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: x shock collection of American Pope cardinal who retweeted anti 791 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: Trump posts. 792 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 2: On immigration, seems to me. 793 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: That not all Catholics are thrilled with the selection. 794 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 2: To say the leads Elizabeth or I greatly appreciate you 795 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 2: being here.
