What comes next. 8 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 4: After we've discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, 9 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 4: and the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, 10 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 4: the women and the minorities. Once we've ostracized our neighbors 11 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 4: and betrayed our friends. After that, when the problems we 12 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 4: started with are still there staring us in the face, 13 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 4: what comes next? All the atrocities of human history? Lurk 14 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 4: in the answer to that question. 15 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 5: The cabinet that he is bringing in so far looks 16 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 5: like a good one, it does. It looks like a 17 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 5: bunch of people who, yes, a lot of them were 18 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 5: canceled themselves, some like Jade Bladicharia for tremendous bravery and 19 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 5: standing up to really the bullies who had taken over 20 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 5: a lot of our institutions and federal agencies. And I'm 21 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 5: in California, where I deal almost exclusively with liberals, and 22 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 5: I will tell you the degree of relief that people 23 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 5: feel that they can speak once again. 24 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: Whether they agree or not, is really palpable. 25 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 6: Donald Trump announced the External Revenue Service and his goal 26 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 6: is very simple to His goal is to abolish the 27 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 6: internal revenue services to let all the outsiders pay. This 28 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 6: is going to end under Donald Trump, and those taxes 29 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 6: are going to be paid and Americans tax rates are 30 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 6: going to come down. 31 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 7: The fundamental goal of our immigration policy, of our border 32 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 7: policy of doge saving taxpayer money. The fundamental goal is 33 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 7: we want your children and grandchildren to be able to 34 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 7: raise a family in security and comfort in the country 35 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 7: that we all love. That is the whole goal of 36 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 7: President Trump's agenda. Permony's entire defense is subsidized by the 37 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 7: American taxpayer. There are thousands upon thousands of American troops 38 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 7: in Germany today. Do you think that the American taxpayer 39 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 7: is going to stand for that? If you get thrown 40 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 7: in jail in Germany for posting a means tweak, of 41 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 7: course they're need right. So the point that I try 42 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 7: to make to our European friends, and I think that 43 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 7: there are friends I believe that I know President Trump does, 44 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 7: is that friendship. 45 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 8: Is based on shared values. You do not have shared values. 46 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 7: If you're jailing people for saying we should close down. 47 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 8: Our border, you don't have shared values. 48 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 7: If you cancel elections because you don't like the result, 49 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 7: and that happened in Romania, you don't. You do not 50 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 7: have shared values. If you're so afraid of your own 51 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 7: people that you silence them and shut them up. We 52 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 7: cannot rebuild Western civilization. We cannot rebuild the United States 53 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 7: of America or Europe by letting millions and millions of 54 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 7: unvetted illegal migrants come into our country. 55 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 8: It has to stop. 56 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 7: Thank god it stopped here, but it's got to stop there. 57 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 7: Peace is in the interest of the American people, and 58 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 7: he's going to fight for it for the remainder of 59 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 7: his administration. Wherever war breaks out, he's going to be 60 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 7: the president of peace now. 61 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 8: He of course, is a very good negotiator, a very 62 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 8: good businessman. 63 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 7: He recognizes that a lot of these issues are tough. 64 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: It's going to take a smart statesman. 65 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 8: To figure this stuff out. But we've got that in 66 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 8: the White House. 67 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 7: And I really believe that we're in the cusp of 68 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 7: peace in Europe for the first time in three years, 69 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 7: because we have leadership from the Oval Office, and we 70 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 7: haven't had it in four years in this country. 71 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,559 Speaker 9: Why do you think other countries aren't judged revenue strict 72 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 9: immigration policy. 73 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: We're born as a man and now I'm a woman. 74 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 10: What do you think the biggest threat is to the 75 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 10: United States currently? 76 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 11: There's a reason that a lot of the black community 77 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 11: doesn't have a father, and it's because of systemic racism. 78 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 8: America is the only country where even those who hate 79 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 8: it refused to leave. That's how you know you live 80 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 8: in a great country. It's time that we start talking 81 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 8: to the next generation, not talking down to the next generation. 82 00:04:46,680 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: And that's what we're doing every day. 83 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 12: There's a battle for your mind, raging information coming from 84 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 12: every angle, but the will to the sea. 85 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: I fear not. 86 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 12: You found the place for truth, the voice a generation 87 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 12: that still has the will to believe in the greatest 88 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 12: country in the history of the world. 89 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: This is the Charlie Kirk Show. 90 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 8: Tuck a lot. 91 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: Here we go. 92 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 8: Okay, everybody, radio stations across the country. We are here 93 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 8: in Tampa, Florida. I just want to say, I love 94 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 8: always like Tampa. It's an orderly city, it's a beautiful spot. 95 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 8: We are doing our summer student event again in Tampa, 96 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 8: Florida in July. Momentarily after the conclusion of our time together. Today, 97 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 8: I will be getting into a car and going to 98 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 8: the University of South Florida for the kickoff of the 99 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 8: American Comeback Tour. We mentioned frequently here on this program 100 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 8: how Donald Trump has remade the Republican Party. Donald Trump 101 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 8: has kicked some of the rough edges of the Republican 102 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 8: Party out, and this is more clear than ever given 103 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 8: President Trump's approach to foreign policy. I'm afraid to call 104 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 8: Zelensky a dictator, which of course he is saying that 105 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 8: I'm going to go visit Russia and Putin should go 106 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 8: visit America. We're going to go broker peace. And as 107 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 8: we are continuing the Great Revealing, which is what we 108 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 8: are living through, the Great Revealing, it's more and more 109 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 8: clear how not just ideologically weak, but also unimpressive the 110 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 8: previous ruling class of the Conservative movement was. This weekend, 111 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 8: of course is Seapack and everything happening there, but also 112 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 8: there is this other event that is very important to emphasize. 113 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 8: It goes to show what used to be within our ranks. 114 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 8: In fact, included in this event the Principle's First Summit 115 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 8: are people that used to be in Trump one, the 116 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 8: first Trump administration. So this is it's this weekend, it's 117 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 8: the Principle's first Summit. Of course they're doing it in Washington, 118 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 8: diseas only place they could draw a crowd. And it 119 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 8: is a very treacherous group of characters that are gathering, 120 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 8: some of whom I don't even know who they are. 121 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 8: But let's just emphasize a couple. John Bolton. John Bolton 122 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 8: was the National Security advisor for President Trump in the 123 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 8: first administration. One of them Alissa Farrah. Alissa Farah worked 124 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 8: for Mike Pence and was a top level communications director 125 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 8: for President Trump and his administration in the first term. 126 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 8: You got Stephen Richard, who we helped get rid of, 127 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 8: by the way, in Maricopa County as Marikopa County Recorder. 128 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 8: You have Harry Dunn, who was the January's one of 129 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 8: the January sixth police officers. I believe, Mark Cuban, Jared Poulis, 130 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 8: Chris Chris do you remember Chris Christie used to be 131 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 8: I was gonna say running around, but that wouldn't be fair. 132 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 8: I was gonna say he used to be running around 133 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 8: all of our circles, say he was that's a better word, 134 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 8: shaking around something like that. That's a bad visual. Got 135 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 8: George Conway. Goodness, gracious Adam Kin Singer. This year is 136 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 8: the roster of the individuals that have been extracized out 137 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 8: of the Republican Party, their top speaker, being a likely 138 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 8: Democrat candidate in twenty twenty eight, says a lot. What 139 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 8: do these people believe? Now they're gathering. You can call 140 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 8: them rhinos and all that, but it's much more interesting 141 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 8: than that. The one thing that unites every single one 142 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 8: of these people, actually the two things, is their belief 143 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 8: in neo conservative foreign policy number one, and number two 144 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 8: is their admiration of the security state, the unquestioning gospel 145 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 8: that is delivered from the Central Intelligence Agency, from our 146 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 8: intel agencies. You have Asa Hutchinson, who was defending kids 147 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 8: being chemically castrated. This year should give you such comfort 148 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 8: of what Donald Trump has kicked out of our party 149 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 8: and what you have kicked out of our party. Michael Steele, 150 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 8: who used to be the chairman of the Republican Party 151 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 8: in a time long gone. Jeff Duncan, who is or 152 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 8: was the Lieutenant governor of Georgia, and what they represent 153 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 8: is a statust wing of the now changed Republican Party, 154 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 8: and they know there's no place for them in this 155 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 8: Republican Party. They know that they hate dose because it 156 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 8: might actually challenge the money train that they have benefited 157 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 8: for quite some time. They don't want an open border, 158 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 8: and this is an extension of the damage that the 159 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 8: Bush junta did to this country, and that they should 160 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 8: try to do this conference in any other city. Try 161 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 8: to do this conference in Scottsdale or in Miami. Now 162 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 8: you could only do this in Washington, DC. It's the 163 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 8: only constituency in the country that would dare even entertain 164 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 8: this nonsense. But it's a very very important point because 165 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 8: as we look at this rosters you put it up 166 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 8: on screen, understand there are still elements of the Republican 167 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 8: Party that are currently in office that agree with all 168 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 8: these people, but their sleeper cells within our ranks. Now, 169 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 8: of course, we love disagreement. That's never been the issue. 170 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 8: If you want to be Susan Collins and you want 171 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 8: to disagree with us publicly, let's have at it. Let's 172 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 8: lay it down. I'll respect you. That is not the issue. 173 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 8: The issue is people who lie and say that they 174 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 8: are from deep red states when in reality they're not. 175 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 8: They say that they are Trump faithful, they say they 176 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 8: are loyal to the agenda. You go look at their website, 177 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 8: there's a lot of US senators that agree with this nonsense. 178 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 8: It's such a time warp back to twenty twelve. You 179 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 8: read this. A lot of these are just abstractions as 180 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 8: you go through this. The most important question, though, is 181 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 8: what do they believe is the role of American foreign policy. 182 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 8: Every single person at this event support sending more money 183 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 8: to Ukraine. Every single person of this now dead Republican 184 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 8: Party believes that deportations are cruel and unusual. 185 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: And now you. 186 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 8: Compare it with the current leadership structure, and it's not 187 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 8: even that the list is that bad. Of the principles 188 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 8: on their website, I mean, you know, we believe in 189 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 8: the Constitution. Of course, we believe in on that. But 190 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 8: it's so obvious why they're holding a lame rebel conference 191 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 8: instead of hosting the president. They're lame in their week. 192 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 8: Hegseth just announced an eight percent annual cut at the 193 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 8: Department of Defense. But let me reiterate, there are so 194 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 8: many people in the Republican Party in the US Senate 195 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 8: that hold these neo conservative neoliberal views. And just so 196 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 8: we are clear, what is a neoconservative. A neoconservative is 197 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 8: a modern day empire builder. They want to invade the 198 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 8: world and invite the world. Neoconservatism is an outgrowth of 199 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 8: marx societeology. It is statism at its core, that we 200 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 8: can go bring the American foreign policy machine to a 201 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 8: country near you and bring democracy to Baghdad, or bring 202 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 8: democracy to Kabul, the project of Karl Rove, the project 203 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 8: of George W. Bush. It really comes all down to Bush. Really, 204 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 8: there was a president who said all the superficial stuff 205 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 8: that all of these other guys say, but was int 206 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 8: ideological and practical failure. And the metamorphosis is continuing. But 207 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 8: the point I want to reiterate to all of you 208 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 8: is that there are still a lot of senators right 209 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 8: now that talk a good game when it comes to 210 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 8: President Trump, and they're not always there. Some that really 211 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 8: might surprise you, And there's been some that have stepped 212 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 8: up to the plate and have done a great job. 213 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 8: But there's other senators that there's some questions. One in 214 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 8: particular that is finally meeting with one of Trump's nominees, 215 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 8: and I'm glad to hear it, but it's been it's 216 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 8: been a slow walk towards it. We're gonna talk about 217 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 8: that in the next segment. And he definitely comes from 218 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 8: the foreign policy camp of Bill Crystal, from George W. Bush, 219 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 8: from Dick Cheney. For those of you in Arkansas, I 220 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 8: just want to ask the question, what's going on there 221 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 8: we're gonna talk about.

Okay, So, 275 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 8: Vice President jad Vance has a very good friend. His 276 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 8: name is Elbridge Colby. I've got to know Elbridge, extremely 277 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 8: thoughtful man who is against the Bush Junta philosophy, as 278 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 8: we have seen articulated in the previous segment about this 279 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 8: ridiculous gathering that they're Elbert Colby has been nominated by 280 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 8: the President because he earned it to be basically a 281 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 8: third in line at the Department of Defense. It's called 282 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 8: the Undersecretary for Policy. Very very important job, extremely important job. 283 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 8: So Elbert Colby is not that controversial. In fact, he's 284 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 8: incredibly qualified. You can listen to his conversation with Tucker Carlson. 285 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 8: He's thoughtful, he understands the issues. He is as good 286 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 8: as it gets, and he has written the premier book 287 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 8: on the rise of the Chinese Communist Party, on the 288 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 8: looming danger, the clear and present danger of the CCP, 289 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 8: and for whatever reason, we haven't been able to get 290 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 8: a good answer. His nomination has been stalled and is 291 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 8: being opposed by Senator Tom Cotton. Now, thankfully we're moving 292 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 8: in the right direction here. Senator Tom Cotton, I've known 293 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 8: him for quite a while. I have nothing personal against him, 294 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 8: I don't. I think he's phenomenal on immigration. I think 295 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 8: he's great on crime. He's the one that was encouraging 296 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 8: the President to invoke the Insurrection Act during all of 297 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 8: the Floyda palooza stuff. So he's great on a lot 298 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 8: of issues. On foreign policy, we are on completely different planets. 299 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 8: I've said that before on this program. Tom Cotton's foreign 300 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 8: policy views are indecipherable from that of Dick Cheney and 301 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 8: Bill Crystal. And you don't have to take my word 302 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,479 Speaker 8: for it. You can go look at the information and 303 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 8: see what he says. His criticism when it comes to 304 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 8: Ukraine is that Joe Biden did not do enough. He said, 305 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 8: we did not send enough money, we did not send 306 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 8: enough weapons. That was his criticism on Ukraine. You can 307 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 8: look it up. Please find the tweet, guys. I could 308 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 8: read it on here. And so what's really going on 309 00:19:54,680 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 8: here with the Elbridge Colby Tom Cotton collision is that 310 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 8: it's a philosophical and a worldview schism that is unfolding. 311 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 8: I've now sent out two tweets. They've been seen millions 312 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 8: of times, about seven or eight million times, asking the 313 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 8: question why Senator Tom Cotton is getting in Elbridge Colby's 314 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 8: way to become third in line. It's one of Trump's picks. 315 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 8: We don't know the answer to that question. It's probably 316 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 8: because Senator Tom Cotton is getting a little worried that 317 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 8: the Bill Crystal George W. Bush foreign policy regime is 318 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 8: coming to an end. It is sunsetting now. Of course, 319 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 8: every Senator is able to ask robust questions to get assurances. 320 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 8: All of that is fine, but it goes beyond that. 321 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 8: Senator Cotton has called the President directly trying to undermine 322 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 8: Elbridge Colby's nomination. Senator Tom Cotton has been trying everything 323 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 8: he possibly can to derail this and saying, oh, I'm 324 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 8: actually not trying to derail it. A lot of this is 325 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 8: behind the scenes stuff that is now, of course, publicly reported. 326 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 8: I'm happy to say though, that Elbridge Colby is now 327 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 8: meeting with Senator Tom Cotton, and hopefully that will proceed. 328 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 8: But I would love for those of you in the 329 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 8: great state of Arkansas to chime in and to give 330 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 8: your opinions or anyone. How would you feel if Senator 331 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 8: Cotton or other senators like him decide to vote against 332 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 8: President Trump's nominees. It's not enough just to do Bobby 333 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 8: Kennedy and Cash All. That is great, Tulsa Gabbard, But 334 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 8: now we are talking about the inner workings of these departments. 335 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 8: And Elbridge's book, which you guys should all check out, 336 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 8: The Strategy of Denial American Defense in an Age of 337 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 8: Great Power Conflict, is one of the most thoughtful pieces 338 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 8: of work. He is resolutely pro Israel obviously America first. 339 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 8: And the criticism that they have against Elbridge Colby is 340 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 8: that Elbridge basically has written that he does not want 341 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 8: to go to war against Iran. That's it. That is 342 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 8: their criticism. He has been very clear that we should 343 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 8: not get into a kinetic bombing campaign a ground war 344 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 8: against Iran, and for that it has resulted in a 345 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 8: tension point and you're seeing the ideological rift unfold. And 346 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 8: I have been helping lead the x and the Twitter 347 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 8: chatter here and again, I hope Senator Cotton does the 348 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 8: right thing. This is not against him personally, but I 349 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 8: can tell you if he does oppose some of these nominees, 350 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 8: that the grassroots of Arkansas are not going to like that. 351 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 8: They're not going to like the fact that President Trump 352 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 8: won a declarative mandate election and he's not able to 353 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 8: get his cabinet positions in and his sub cabinet positions 354 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 8: in Deputies, third and Control, fourth and Control. We have 355 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 8: one tweet from Senator Cotton about Ukraine, no timidity and 356 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 8: half measures. Time to send Ukraine the weapons and need 357 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 8: to end this invasion. Well we did send the weapons 358 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 8: that the invasion end, of course, not so, Ceder Cotton. 359 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 8: I hope you'll do the right thing. I know you're 360 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 8: meeting with Bridge. Get behind this nomination. Do so publicly 361 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 8: or vocally for else the grassroots won't be happy. 362 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 3: I'll be right back. 363 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 13: Terrence Bates here with your Real America's Voice News Break 364 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 13: live from Seapack twenty twenty five.

I compete in the shot put in indoor track, 458 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 10: and this week on Monday, we just. 459 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 16: Had the Class B state championship meet. 460 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 10: And at the beginning of the meet, one of my 461 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 10: teammates came over to me and she told me that 462 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 10: she and the other girl poll vaulters were going to 463 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 10: have to compete against a biological male, and understandably, she 464 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 10: was very upset about this and very distraught and discouraged 465 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 10: because she knew and the other girls knew, that they 466 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 10: wouldn't be able to beat this male and that because 467 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 10: he decided to compete in the girl's category, they would 468 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 10: automatically be knocked down a spot in the state rankings 469 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 10: and he would win the gold. So she was very 470 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 10: upset about that, understandably, and I was very upset about 471 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 10: that because no girl should be put in that situation, 472 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 10: and no male athlete should have the opportunity to step 473 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 10: in and compete against women and take away their opportunity 474 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 10: to be successful and to win and to have the 475 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 10: honor of winning a gold and winning the state championship. 476 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 10: So that inspired me to respond to Representative Libby's post 477 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 10: on Facebook and just stand up for my teammate and 478 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 10: for the other poll of authors and any other female 479 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 10: athlete who ever has to face competing against a male. 480 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 10: And so that's that's my story this week. 481 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 8: It's a terrible story. I have so many questions, but 482 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 8: first I want to get State Representative Libby on this represented, Libby, 483 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 8: tell us from your perspective, what's going on here? 484 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 17: Absolutely, So we all know that several weeks ago, President 485 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 17: Trump issued his executive order demanding that states not allow 486 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 17: biological males to participate in girls' sports. 487 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 18: Maine has decided to buck that. 488 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 17: The Main Principles Association shortly thereafter came out and went 489 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 17: on the record saying we will not abide by executive order. 490 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 17: We are going to continue to allow biological males to 491 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 17: participate in girls' sports. And we knew it was only 492 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 17: a matter of time before that actually happened after that, 493 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 17: and that was this Monday, this biological male boy participated 494 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 17: in the pole vaulting at the state championships and one 495 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 17: and captured the podium that so many main girls have 496 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 17: been working so hard to compete in. It just is 497 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 17: tragic for them and it's not fair. It's not fair 498 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 17: for main girls who've been working so hard to have 499 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 17: their their chance taken away. 500 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 8: So I want to now go back to Zoe here. 501 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 8: So Zoe, I'm sure there's a fair amount of outrage 502 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 8: locally about this, but probably quiet are people starting to 503 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 8: speak up about this, and just everyone is clear the 504 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 8: vault that won the female competition would have been tenth 505 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 8: in the men's. Just so we are clear, the one 506 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 8: that won the one for women's would have been tenth 507 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 8: in men's. Tell us about the energy on the ground, 508 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 8: our parents upset or most people saying this is what 509 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 8: progress looks like. 510 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 16: Yeah, so. 511 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 10: I really didn't hear much from the rest of my 512 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 10: team other than that one girl who was directly affected 513 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 10: and her two pole vaulting coaches. 514 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 18: They were very upset and agreed that this should never happen. 515 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 10: As far as the surrounding community, overwhelmingly, I have been 516 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 10: seeing and hearing support for our side and say that no, this, 517 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 10: this should never happen. And of course there are some 518 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 10: outliers and in the minority that are standing up for 519 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 10: John or Katy and are congratulating him on beating these girls. 520 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 10: But from what I've seen and from what I've heard 521 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 10: and experienced, by and large, I am experiencing support for 522 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 10: my stance. 523 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 8: I mean, the side by side is remarkable here and 524 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 8: so representative I represent Libby. President Trump has said that 525 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 8: he might withhold federal money to Maine if this nonsense happens. 526 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 8: Are any of your Democrat colleagues or any of is 527 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 8: the governor anybody worried that this might interrupt federal payments 528 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 8: to Maine if they allow this to continue. 529 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 17: I have not heard that concern from the Democrat leadership. 530 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 18: And let's be honest, we have a Democrat. 531 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 17: Majority in the House, the Senate and a Democrat governor. 532 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 17: So I think it's going to come down to that 533 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 17: that President Trump's administration is going to have to take 534 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 17: action and withhold resources, financial resources in order to ensure 535 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 17: that girls in Maine have a fair playing field. And 536 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 17: it's too bad that it has to come to that 537 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 17: that it would have come to federal action, but I 538 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 17: think that's the only only thing that we'll get us 539 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 17: resolution here. 540 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 18: The main Main Principles Association. 541 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 17: And Democrat leadership are pretty dug in on their position 542 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 17: on this, and it's going to take intervention. 543 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 8: I would hope. So what part of Maine is this? 544 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 8: Is this near Portland or gus there Bang or what 545 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 8: part of Maine is this happening in? 546 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 17: This was a state championship, So this was the Class 547 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,959 Speaker 17: B championship for indoor track, and so this is this 548 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 17: is statewide. Zoe can correct me if that's incorrect, but 549 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 17: this is a statewide competition. 550 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 18: These athletes that score the highest will. 551 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 17: Now go on to regional competition outside of Maine. And 552 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 17: so this athlete, the biological male, who participated in one 553 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,959 Speaker 17: the girls gold medal, will go on to participate uh 554 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 17: in the regional meets coming up, taking again taking the 555 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 17: spot of biological girls, females who've worked so hard but 556 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 17: have been denied that first place standing because of this 557 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 17: boy taking their place. 558 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 8: In closing here and Zoe, thank you for your willingness 559 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 8: to speak out about this. Your teammates. What are the 560 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 8: teammates saying about this and others that have seen this 561 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,479 Speaker 8: kind of injustice? Are they hoping that parents will start 562 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 8: to step up and defend biological reality? 563 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 18: Yeah? 564 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 10: So I think that for the most part, none of 565 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 10: them have thought about this yet because it hasn't really 566 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 10: directly affected any of us until this week, And so 567 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 10: I don't really think that most of them are really 568 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 10: paying attention or looking when when it didn't directly affect them, 569 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 10: and on. 570 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 16: My team at least, it doesn't. 571 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 10: It doesn't seem like there's a lot of ready action 572 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 10: to step in and make a change, other than my 573 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 10: teammate who was directly affecting the hat to compete against him, 574 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 10: which is a big reason why I wanted to do 575 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 10: this and and speak out against this, because it is 576 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 10: a huge issue and if we don't stand up and 577 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 10: speak out now, then it's going to continue happening and 578 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 10: getting worse, and it's going to be more widespread. And 579 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 10: I don't want any more girls to be affected by this. 580 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 10: So I want to encourage any any other athletes, and 581 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 10: especially female athletes to stand up and speak out against 582 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 10: this and speak up for truth. We have to speak 583 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 10: up for just the biological reality in truth, that that 584 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,959 Speaker 10: males have huge advantages over women and that we need 585 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 10: our separate spaces from them to be able to have the. 586 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 18: Chance to succeed and. 587 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 10: Win, because if we give them an a still take 588 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,760 Speaker 10: a mile, and if we allow, if we continue allowing 589 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 10: them to step in, then women will no longer have 590 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 10: their own separate spaces, and that's just not okay, and 591 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 10: that's not something that I'm willing. 592 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 16: To let happen. 593 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 8: Well, thank you for your courage. I just wish more 594 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 8: adults in the room would agree. But the current set 595 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 8: of circumstances in Maine, as you well know, is that 596 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 8: creepy men should be able to terrorize women at their choosing. 597 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 8: So thank you about so much, and we'll be watching 598 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 8: the story very closely. Thank you. Look, this is not 599 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 8: going away, everybody. It's time for President Trump to enforce 600 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 8: the executive order that he signed and whether it's the 601 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 8: Department of Justice, Department Education, money has to stop flowing 602 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 8: the states that are doing this. This is not just 603 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,280 Speaker 8: about signing executive orders. This is why we need the deputies. 604 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,280 Speaker 8: This goes back to the whole center of Tom Cotton conversation. 605 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 8: That's why we need the deputy level positions. Were you 606 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 8: biological men that are still winning awards? And there has 607 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 8: to be a collision point on this said and Trump 608 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 8: has done the courageous and the correct thing. He has 609 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,240 Speaker 8: done his job. Now it's time for us to enforce 610 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,439 Speaker 8: it and withhold funding. And look, we got to start 611 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 8: to turn up the temperature. You can start with funding 612 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 8: about things that Maine may or may not care about. 613 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 8: But will Maine really go to the mat on this 614 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,760 Speaker 8: of all of a sudden, Medicaid funding is potentially put 615 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 8: in jeopardy. I know that might sound a little extreme, 616 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 8: but at what point are we going to say biological 617 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 8: reality is going to triumph. The current set of circumstances 618 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 8: right now is that your emotions, not any evidence, allows 619 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 8: you to win whatever championship you want. I feel like 620 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 8: a woman. I could be a woman. It's the song 621 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 8: I Feel like a Woman is the entire trans movement. 622 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 8: It's time for us to be actively intolerant of men 623 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 8: masquerading as women and winning championships and under saying that 624 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 8: is only one manifestation of the trans extremism. It's the 625 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 8: one that obviously wins the most people over. But it's happening. 626 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 8: Do you know that? It is happened well over nine 627 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 8: hundred times. According to a UN report, over nine hundred 628 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 8: times and twenty nine different sports men pretending to be 629 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 8: women have won championships and medals all across the world. 630 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 8: Nine hundred times. We're tall a though it doesn't happen, 631 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 8: it happens a lot nine hundred times. Patriot Mobile.

Let's go to this one here, 709 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,399 Speaker 8: let's go to cut one thirty two. 710 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 20: You know, I've known him for thirty years. Yeah, and 711 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 20: I've never seen anybody take as much as he's taken. 712 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, And we've. 713 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 20: Discussed this and I'm like, how do you deal with it? 714 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,359 Speaker 1: Age?

You would say that to me. 715 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 20: I'm like, what do I don't worry about it, and 716 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 20: you know, and then culminating into assassination attempts which resulted 717 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 20: in your endorsement. 718 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 8: Well, I was gonna do it anyway, but that was 719 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 8: that was a sting about ye a little bit. 720 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, the day of the assess I didn't know that. 721 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 21: Yeah, I just sped it up, But I was going 722 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 21: to do it anyway. 723 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 8: For as long as we've been doing the show, let's 724 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 8: get just the still image of Trump and Elenap We 725 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 8: have been talking about we need better elites. You see, 726 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 8: we reject the Marxist premise that we're going to get 727 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 8: rid of all of our elites. It's not going to 728 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,759 Speaker 8: happen because of the Preto principle and the laws of 729 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 8: nature authored by Nature's god, God Almighty. There will be 730 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 8: people that end up at the top of your society. 731 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 8: There will be people that end up with a lot 732 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 8: of money, a lot of power, a lot of influence. 733 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 8: They just have more talent. The Swan song of egalitarianism 734 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 8: is just that it's a lie. What you're looking right, 735 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 8: there is a combo package that may never happen again. 736 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 8: It's lightning in a bottle. It is grace from the heavens. 737 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 8: The world's richest man with the world's most powerful man, 738 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 8: combining forces to deconstruct the administrative state, to restore US 739 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 8: back to a constitutional intent, to secure our border, to 740 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 8: restrain the globalists, to fight the woke mind virus. You 741 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 8: have private Citizen Musk and President Trump. It is a 742 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,800 Speaker 8: whole new wrinkle in Trump two point zero that none 743 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 8: of us saw coming. Even a year ago. There were 744 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,879 Speaker 8: some whispers that Trump that Musk might donate. Musk did 745 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 8: the Twitter and the X thing, and Elon has gone 746 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 8: all in to be a phenomenally loyal friend and fighter 747 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 8: for President Trump. On top of that, Elon Musk tweeted 748 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 8: in favor of Jade Vance, saying that jd Vance has 749 00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 8: been an excellent vice president and that he hopes he'll 750 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 8: become the forty eighth president, preemptively endorsing Jade Vance for 751 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 8: twenty twenty eight, of which I happen to agree what 752 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 8: we are seeing potentially, and I don't want to get 753 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 8: too ahead of my skis, but if we do our job, 754 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 8: we could be entering a packs Americana. We could be 755 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 8: entering a sequence of leaders democratically elected through within our 756 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 8: constitutional republic system. That is not just a four year 757 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 8: reign or an eight year reign. We're talking about the 758 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 8: opportunity again. This way, we must stay humble and hungry, 759 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 8: the two things every single day. Stay humble and hungry. 760 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 8: What is the opposition doing, what is the grassroots doing? 761 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 8: Can't forget why we're here. Fulfill the mandate. Understand that 762 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 8: not every day is going to be good. They'll be 763 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:41,840 Speaker 8: ups and downs with the ebbs and flows, They'll be 764 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 8: wax and waynes. But we have an opportunity with this 765 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 8: combo world's richest man, President Donald J. Trump, to do 766 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 8: something that we never could have dreamed. But there's no 767 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 8: guarantees it could get derailed in one day. We could 768 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,399 Speaker 8: make one bad decision, just like Nixon taping himself water 769 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,040 Speaker 8: get Nixon was one of the most popular president in 770 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 8: his ever till the Intel Agency took him out. We 771 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 8: must stay on our toes. Understand the Intel Agency's gonna 772 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 8: do everything possibly can to asymmetrically take out President Donald Trump. 773 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 8: That is going to continue. That's why he must stay humble. 774 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 8: But just that image the most powerful person on the 775 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 8: planet with the richest person on the planet, Elon Munsk 776 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,880 Speaker 8: is so wealthy he could buy Spain. Not an exaggeration. 777 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 8: He could literally buy Spain and not even think about it. 778 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,799 Speaker 8: It's like a rounding error for him. He could just 779 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 8: buy countries. And what he is deciding to do with 780 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,880 Speaker 8: his wealth, which you're always gonna have wealthy people, is 781 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 8: the opposite of what our elites have done the last 782 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 8: thirty years. Sorrows used his money to destroy the country. 783 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,839 Speaker 8: We've had elites that have used their money to incinerate 784 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 8: the republic. He's using his time and his treasure to 785 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,920 Speaker 8: revitalize it.

Doctor, welcome to the program. Thank 898 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,360 Speaker 8: you for taking the time. We want to talk to 899 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 8: you about how we turn to real justice in this 900 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 8: country and get out of the law fair cycle the 901 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,320 Speaker 8: Democrats have put us in. Tell us your thoughts. 902 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,719 Speaker 28: Yeah, it's a tricky business, right, because if you have 903 00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,080 Speaker 28: to go after all these malefactors, then you have to 904 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,319 Speaker 28: look in a certain sense like you're going after your 905 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 28: political enemies, because your political enemies did commit serious wrongdoings 906 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:08,520 Speaker 28: of lawfair. 907 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,640 Speaker 8: So how do you deal with that? You have to 908 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,799 Speaker 8: both be just and appear to be just. 909 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,360 Speaker 28: And I think, in one sense, part of what the 910 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 28: Trump administration's doing. And I think you're seeing Pambondi do 911 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 28: I think you'll see cash Ptel do this, Emil Bow 912 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 28: who's working for. 913 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 8: Pambondi in the DOJ. 914 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,640 Speaker 28: I think there's a sort of politics of truth where 915 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,239 Speaker 28: they're going to be very honest, transparent, and forthcoming. But 916 00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 28: I also think that there has to be a kind 917 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:41,720 Speaker 28: of prosecutorial plan laid out about both prosecuting a certain 918 00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 28: kind of crime as a kind of thematic headliner, but 919 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 28: also providing a kind of way out of lawfare even 920 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,200 Speaker 28: for our political opponents. 921 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,680 Speaker 8: So detail more of what that plan would look like 922 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,480 Speaker 8: and some of the pitfalls that might be included in that. 923 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:06,759 Speaker 28: Yeah, So I think a headliner is perjury. One of 924 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 28: the things that lawfair needs in order to conspire and 925 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 28: malign and attack and slander and destroy one's political opponents 926 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 28: using legal mechanisms is sworn testimony. You have to be 927 00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,959 Speaker 28: deposed under oath. You have to go before Congress under oath, 928 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 28: you have to go into court under oath. You have 929 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:30,400 Speaker 28: to go before PHISA courts under oath, and perjury is 930 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,759 Speaker 28: a crime Section eighteen in the Federal Code. Perjury is 931 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,200 Speaker 28: a crime of one to five years, and if you 932 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 28: lie to a PISA court, if you perjure yourself there, 933 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 28: it's five to ten. So it's a major issue if 934 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 28: you wind up prosecuting it because it actually squeezes off 935 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 28: the power of lawfare conspiracies. But it also has a 936 00:54:54,600 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 28: kind of powerful defense against the dangers of law fair generally, 937 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:06,439 Speaker 28: which is you're basically trying to prosecute truth telling right 938 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:11,760 Speaker 28: or lying. Don't lie. We are a truthful political body. 939 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,279 Speaker 28: We are a people that is candid. We are a 940 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,239 Speaker 28: republic of self governance. People have to do what they 941 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,480 Speaker 28: say and say what they do and do it in 942 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:20,080 Speaker 28: good faith. 943 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 8: That's in the language of the. 944 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,840 Speaker 28: Oath of the President and the Vice President. Pam Bondi 945 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,400 Speaker 28: mentioned it in her hearings. This is what they have 946 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 28: to rekindle. And so if you go after perjury, what 947 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,120 Speaker 28: you're basically saying is, yeah, we're going to go after 948 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,720 Speaker 28: some of our political opponents who perjured themselves and lied 949 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,760 Speaker 28: in various ways to malign their political enemies. 950 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:41,960 Speaker 1: But the purpose of this is so that we all. 951 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,880 Speaker 28: Go back to not conspiring against one another to slander 952 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:50,520 Speaker 28: and gin up full legal conspiracies of lawfare and attack 953 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:52,720 Speaker 28: against our political opponents. 954 00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 8: So I mean, let's talk about Executive Order one four, 955 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 8: one five seven ending the weaponization of the federal government. 956 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,960 Speaker 8: Tell us about that and how it can be used 957 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:05,720 Speaker 8: for this purpose. 958 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:13,200 Speaker 28: So Bondie is basically put a memo out in response 959 00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 28: to Trump's Executive Order ending Weaponization, telling DOJ we are 960 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 28: going to go after every instance of this and also 961 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,799 Speaker 28: every instance of its appearance, because that's part of what 962 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 28: you have to do. You have to both be just 963 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 28: and look just and keep good faith. And so what 964 00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:37,040 Speaker 28: I think the weaponization executive Order is going to do 965 00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:42,080 Speaker 28: is basically wipe the slate clean. And I think they 966 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,920 Speaker 28: chose a really good version of this with Eric Adams, 967 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,680 Speaker 28: the Mayor of New York. Because if you want to 968 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,920 Speaker 28: look like you're trying to be nonpartisan and ending lawfare, 969 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 28: what better way to do it? Than to say, hey, 970 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,040 Speaker 28: the previous administration went after one of their own, a Democrat, 971 00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 28: because he turned tail on their political program of bad 972 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,239 Speaker 28: immigration policy. Right, he turned his back on that. So 973 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:13,239 Speaker 28: he's not helping some Trump supporter in some high profile way. 974 00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 28: He's actually helping a Democrat mayor who's had a very 975 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 28: adversarial attitude towards the Trump administration. 976 00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 2: So I thought that. 977 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,600 Speaker 28: Choice in following out this executive order was a really 978 00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 28: smart one because it sends the signal, look, we're not 979 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,320 Speaker 28: just trying to help our friends, We're trying to help 980 00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:35,480 Speaker 28: everyone get out from under lawfare. And so I think 981 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 28: it's a really so, really great, a great way to 982 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:43,720 Speaker 28: move forward. But it's both dealing with the perjury question, 983 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,120 Speaker 28: I think is a separate one, but also dealing with 984 00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 28: the weaponization's head on and Bondi's got tons of things 985 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,200 Speaker 28: to do on every level, but I do think there's 986 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:54,400 Speaker 28: a headliner issue too. 987 00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 8: So I suppose the other question I have is not 988 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:03,479 Speaker 8: just the civilians that have done wrong, but how would 989 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 8: you recommend a plan to hold the actual prosecutors themselves 990 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,800 Speaker 8: that obviously broke conductor laws, like either Letitia James or 991 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 8: Alvin Bragg or Jack Smith, how do you even launch. 992 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 6: We're interrupting this program for a special live report. 993 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:27,360 Speaker 24: Launching the first ever Department of Government Efficiency, uncovering corruption 994 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:31,040 Speaker 24: on a scale that we never thought imaginable, terminating every 995 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,240 Speaker 24: single federal worker that we are, that we have found 996 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 24: to be engaged in the corruption and theft and the 997 00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 24: waste of tax pair of dollars, and already saving fifty 998 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,040 Speaker 24: billion dollars in a single year, which over a ten 999 00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 24: year period would be five hundred billion dollars. Just think 1000 00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,959 Speaker 24: about how vast and enormous that some is. Of course, 1001 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,960 Speaker 24: as you all know, he has renamed the Gulf of 1002 00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,760 Speaker 24: Mexico to his correct and proper name, the Gulf of America. 1003 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,760 Speaker 24: He is renamed Mountainolli into Mount McKinley, part of a 1004 00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 24: historic effort to restore patriotism and national pride all across 1005 00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:07,000 Speaker 24: this land. He has ended the weaponization of the federal government, 1006 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,280 Speaker 24: restored the Department of Justice to its true mission of 1007 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:14,120 Speaker 24: combating threats to this nation and keeping the American people safe. 1008 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:18,920 Speaker 24: He has ended all federal censorship of free speech. This 1009 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 24: has been one of the greatest crises that has plagued 1010 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 24: this nation years and years and years the federal government 1011 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,320 Speaker 24: violating the First Amendment to take away Americans' right of 1012 00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 24: free speech. President Trump has ended that and he has 1013 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 24: demanded that all federal workers, all law enforcement cease any 1014 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,560 Speaker 24: effort to intimidate the rights of Americans or to police 1015 00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 24: their speech. He has also restored the death penalty at 1016 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,560 Speaker 24: the Department of Justice, including for illegal aliens who commit murder, 1017 00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,520 Speaker 24: including for those who murder cops, and including for all 1018 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:54,960 Speaker 24: of those who threaten Americans with heinous acts of violence. 1019 00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,480 Speaker 24: The death penalty is back, Law and order is back. 1020 00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 24: The streets are being made safe once again. On the 1021 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:06,080 Speaker 24: public health front, he has launched the nation's first ever commission, 1022 01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,640 Speaker 24: the MAHA Commission Make America Healthy Again, following the historic 1023 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:15,040 Speaker 24: confirmation of RFK Junior, to finally uncover the true root 1024 01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 24: causes of the public health crisis in this country, the 1025 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:22,360 Speaker 24: childhood disease epidemic in this country, the spiraling rates of 1026 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:29,560 Speaker 24: pediatric cancer, and devastating childhood sickness. He has finally created 1027 01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 24: a situation where the federal health agencies in this country 1028 01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:36,680 Speaker 24: will be focused on preventing disease, on keeping children from 1029 01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,840 Speaker 24: getting sick in the first place, not sending them to 1030 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,560 Speaker 24: a lifetime in and out of hospitals, suffering needlessly. When 1031 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:47,480 Speaker 24: we can find ways to prevent this epidemic of illness. Then, 1032 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:52,520 Speaker 24: of course, on homeland security. Today, it is officially the 1033 01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,920 Speaker 24: law of the land at the conclusion of the congressional 1034 01:00:55,960 --> 01:01:01,640 Speaker 24: notification process that six Mexican cartels and two transnational gangs 1035 01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:05,600 Speaker 24: TREND de Aragua or TDA and MS thirteen, so eight 1036 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:11,040 Speaker 24: organizations in total are now formally designated as foreign terrorist organizations, 1037 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,640 Speaker 24: which means that every single member of those organizations who 1038 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,520 Speaker 24: operates on US soil is now, as a legal matter, 1039 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:22,000 Speaker 24: a terrorist, and they will be treated as terrorists. This 1040 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,800 Speaker 24: is a sea change in US policy, and this means 1041 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,560 Speaker 24: the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, 1042 01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,200 Speaker 24: along with the rest of US law enforcement and the 1043 01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,720 Speaker 24: Department of Defense, are now operating in a legal reality 1044 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:38,120 Speaker 24: where these cartels are recognized as terrorists and there will 1045 01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 24: be a whole of government effort to remove these terrorists 1046 01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,720 Speaker 24: from our soil and to degrade their ability to threaten 1047 01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 24: their undermine any American security or sovereignty interests. Border crossings 1048 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:54,800 Speaker 24: since the day he took office are down ninety five percent. 1049 01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,840 Speaker 24: I think it's almost impossible to even describe the scale 1050 01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:03,080 Speaker 24: and scope of that achievement. President Trump, within days of 1051 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:09,080 Speaker 24: taking office, cut border crossings ninety five percent, and those 1052 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:13,200 Speaker 24: few who have dared to cross are being either prosecuted 1053 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 24: or deported. They're either facing significant jail time for trafficking, smuggling, harboring, aiding, impeding, 1054 01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,000 Speaker 24: or they are being immediately removed from our soil. Either way, 1055 01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,600 Speaker 24: at the end of the process, they are going home. 1056 01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,920 Speaker 24: He's re implemented to remain in Mexico, and he has 1057 01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 24: obtained historic cooperation from foreign countries all around the world 1058 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 24: in accepting their deportees back. And he has used the 1059 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,360 Speaker 24: United States military to fully seal the southern border with 1060 01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 24: a historic deployment of both active duty and National Guard troops, 1061 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 24: resumed the building of infrastructure. He has opened up Guantanamo Bay, 1062 01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,600 Speaker 24: and he's using military aircraft to carry out deportations all 1063 01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 24: across this country. And ICE is joining with ATFDA and 1064 01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:01,120 Speaker 24: FBI to carry out the largest deportation operation in American history. 1065 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,280 Speaker 24: The criminals are going home. The border is sealed shut. 1066 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 24: America is safe, sovereign, proud, and free. We are a 1067 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,600 Speaker 24: nation that every one in the world understands all across 1068 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,479 Speaker 24: this planet. You do not come here illegally. You will 1069 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,480 Speaker 24: not get in. You will go to jail, you will 1070 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,800 Speaker 24: go home, you will not succeed. This is the biggest 1071 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:22,840 Speaker 24: and most successful change in any area of law enforcement 1072 01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,840 Speaker 24: that this nation has ever seen, and he did it 1073 01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:27,800 Speaker 24: in under one month. 1074 01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:35,520 Speaker 25: Thank you, Yes, well, Thank you, Caroline, Thank you Stevid. 1075 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:38,440 Speaker 25: You know, one of things that President Trump cares most 1076 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,439 Speaker 25: about his job creation, and it was about seven years ago. 1077 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 25: I had the honor of joining you in this room 1078 01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 25: for the first time, and it looks like we've created 1079 01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 25: a lot more jobs for the last month. Look at 1080 01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:49,920 Speaker 25: how many people are here. My estimate is about one 1081 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,880 Speaker 25: hundred and eighty, but I didn't count. 1082 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:52,920 Speaker 24: So thank you. 1083 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 25: It's really an honor to be back here. I think 1084 01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,360 Speaker 25: that I just want to go over a few thigs 1085 01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,320 Speaker 25: and then hand it off to Mike. The first is 1086 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,960 Speaker 25: that the President has told us to prioritize fighting inflation. 1087 01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 25: And he had to do that because, as you know, 1088 01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,920 Speaker 25: President Biden let inflation get completely out of control, and 1089 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,920 Speaker 25: he did it with policies that made no sense. They 1090 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 25: made no sense. You know a lot of times people 1091 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,760 Speaker 25: say to us, our friends of journalists, why are you 1092 01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,720 Speaker 25: doing that? But you know, I like to think why 1093 01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 25: did they do that? Why did they spend so much money? 1094 01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 25: And then why did they fed print so much money 1095 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:27,800 Speaker 25: so that we had inflation as high as we've ever 1096 01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:29,960 Speaker 25: seen since sheby Carter? So why did they do that? 1097 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,120 Speaker 25: So we're addressing inflation. We didn't have to address it 1098 01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:34,720 Speaker 25: in the first turn because it was always in the ones, 1099 01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,919 Speaker 25: almost always. But we're going to get it back there. 1100 01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:38,440 Speaker 25: And how are we doing it? Well, we're doing it 1101 01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,480 Speaker 25: with a plan that President Trump and I and others 1102 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,360 Speaker 25: have talked about in the oval that involves like every 1103 01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 25: level of fighting inflation. First the bacroeconomic level. We're cutting spending. 1104 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,680 Speaker 25: We're cutting spending in negotiations with people on the hill, 1105 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:55,680 Speaker 25: We're cutting spending with the advice of our IT consultant, 1106 01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 25: Elon Musk. And then we're also looking into supply side, 1107 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:05,760 Speaker 25: like restoring Trump's tax cuts, maybe even expensing new factories 1108 01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:07,840 Speaker 25: so that there is an explosion of supply. If you 1109 01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 25: have an explosion of supply at a reduction in government demand, 1110 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,360 Speaker 25: then inflation goes way down. And then one of the 1111 01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:15,840 Speaker 25: things that you will want to say is, well, what 1112 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 25: are you going to see it? Well, the first thing 1113 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 25: that you'll see when the markets believe that we're going 1114 01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 25: to get inflation under control is that the ten year 1115 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,760 Speaker 25: treasury rate goes down because that's how they think about 1116 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,680 Speaker 25: future expected inflation. And so we're still going to see 1117 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:31,720 Speaker 25: some memory of Biden's inflation. It's not going to go 1118 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 25: away in a month. But the ten year treasury before 1119 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,160 Speaker 25: the last consumer price index had dropped about forty basis points. 1120 01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:41,000 Speaker 25: Forty basis points because markets were optimistic about our ability 1121 01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,360 Speaker 25: to fight inflation. Forty basis points is kind of not 1122 01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,240 Speaker 25: a fun thing to say. I cottomists talked that way. 1123 01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,360 Speaker 25: I apologize. But the way to think about it is 1124 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 25: for a typical mortgage, if that affects the mortgage rate, 1125 01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:52,800 Speaker 25: then it's going to save a typical family buying a 1126 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,600 Speaker 25: house about one thousand bucks a year. And that's just 1127 01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:56,360 Speaker 25: at our first month. 1128 01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:57,240 Speaker 8: Okay. 1129 01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,160 Speaker 25: The second thing we've done is we've had a lot 1130 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 25: of trade talks. In fact, I was just meeting a 1131 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,720 Speaker 25: minister from Mexico with Howard Letnik just a couple of 1132 01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:09,040 Speaker 25: hours ago, and we're talking about reciprocal trade, and we're 1133 01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,440 Speaker 25: also talking about the fetnal crisis, and so reciprocal trade 1134 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 25: is about our government treating other governments the way they 1135 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:19,000 Speaker 25: treat us. We want trade to be fair. It turns 1136 01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,880 Speaker 25: out that Americans have been disadvantaged by foreign governments over 1137 01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,720 Speaker 25: and over, and President Trump wants it to stop. And 1138 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,600 Speaker 25: the fact that struck me as most noticeable when I 1139 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,800 Speaker 25: started to look at what President Trump was asking us 1140 01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,920 Speaker 25: to do, is that last year, last year, we have data, 1141 01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:37,960 Speaker 25: US companies paid three hundred and seventy billion dollars in 1142 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 25: taxes to foreign governments three hundred and seventy billion. Last year, 1143 01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 25: foreign multinationals paid US fifty seven billion dollars in taxes. 1144 01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 25: We have one quarter of world GDP, they have three 1145 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,439 Speaker 25: quarters of world GDP, and we're paying three seventy they're 1146 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,720 Speaker 25: paying fifty seven. This is not reciprocal. We're going to 1147 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,680 Speaker 25: try or we're going to fix it. The other thing 1148 01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:00,280 Speaker 25: that we've done is we've had an all of the 1149 01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 25: above energy approach that's led by Doug Bergham and Chris 1150 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:09,280 Speaker 25: and a really large team EPA, and we've already made 1151 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 25: so many actions that are going to affect the price 1152 01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:16,120 Speaker 25: of energy and lower inflation. We've opened up six hundred 1153 01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 25: and twenty five million acres to energy exploration. We've cut 1154 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,760 Speaker 25: fifty years of red tape that makes it so you 1155 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,760 Speaker 25: can't have purbits. And we've even made it so that 1156 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:27,960 Speaker 25: when you go home, if you get a new one, 1157 01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 25: then you can take a shower, or flush a toilet, 1158 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,240 Speaker 25: or read under a light bulb. We're doing that too. 1159 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 25: So finally, let's just think about the facts that we 1160 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,160 Speaker 25: can see right now that we think are awesome. So 1161 01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:47,800 Speaker 25: guess what. Small business optimism has gone up by the 1162 01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 25: most ever since President Trump came in. Ism, which is 1163 01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,760 Speaker 25: the measure of what's going on in manufacturing, it's expanding 1164 01:07:55,800 --> 01:08:01,240 Speaker 25: again for the first time in years. CEO confidence is 1165 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:05,280 Speaker 25: the highest it's been in years. And the reason the 1166 01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:08,360 Speaker 25: reason people are thinking this is that our policies give 1167 01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 25: people cause for optimism. And then I want to reiterate 1168 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,880 Speaker 25: what Stephen Miller said, because it's so important, and it's 1169 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,120 Speaker 25: so important for financial markets to start to digest this 1170 01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:22,120 Speaker 25: that if say the Treasury secretary or the any cabinet 1171 01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,959 Speaker 25: secretary with Elad Musk is able to find some savings, 1172 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,840 Speaker 25: say one hundred billion dollars, well in CBO land, that's 1173 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:33,760 Speaker 25: actually like about ten times that or maybe twelve times 1174 01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,240 Speaker 25: that over a ten year window. And so when you're 1175 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:39,720 Speaker 25: thinking about the negotiations right now over reconciliation and thinking 1176 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:43,200 Speaker 25: about well four trillion and five trillion, well those numbers 1177 01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:44,880 Speaker 25: in terms of the savings are going to end up 1178 01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,559 Speaker 25: being small because of all the ways that we're finding. 1179 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:50,559 Speaker 25: And so we're incredibly optimistic about the future of inflation 1180 01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:54,000 Speaker 25: and the future of our cootomy. And we're optimistic because 1181 01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:56,120 Speaker 25: we're making so much progress so far and we already 1182 01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:57,240 Speaker 25: see it in market prices. 1183 01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:58,439 Speaker 2: And with that, off the bike. 1184 01:08:59,560 --> 01:08:59,840 Speaker 16: Thanksg. 1185 01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:07,720 Speaker 27: Well, lookod afternoon. What a month and what a sea 1186 01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:11,439 Speaker 27: change in our foreign policy. In addition to what we're 1187 01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:15,040 Speaker 27: doing on the border and restoring American sovereignty, and addition 1188 01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:19,800 Speaker 27: to what we're doing in our economy and the job 1189 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,840 Speaker 27: creation and the inflation reduction, we are bringing the world 1190 01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:25,639 Speaker 27: back to where it was at the end of President 1191 01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:29,520 Speaker 27: Trump's first term, which is a world of peace, prosperity 1192 01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:33,000 Speaker 27: and looking forward and getting us out of the chaos 1193 01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:36,320 Speaker 27: that we've just seen over the last four years. So 1194 01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:41,640 Speaker 27: over the last month, just to name a few, I 1195 01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,519 Speaker 27: had the honor of sitting in the Oval office, as 1196 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:50,439 Speaker 27: President Trump spoke with President Putin and then immediately spoke 1197 01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:55,839 Speaker 27: with President Zelenski, and both of them said only President 1198 01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 27: Trump could bring both sides to the table, and only 1199 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:02,000 Speaker 27: President Trump could stop the horrific fighting that has been 1200 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:05,639 Speaker 27: going on now for the better part of four years, 1201 01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 27: and that only President Trump could drive the world back 1202 01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:12,360 Speaker 27: to peace. Both of those leaders said that in back 1203 01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:15,160 Speaker 27: to back calls, and of course we just had our 1204 01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:22,639 Speaker 27: historic talks mediated by our good friends and partners Saudi Arabia. 1205 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 27: We give great thanks to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman 1206 01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,840 Speaker 27: for hosting and sat down for the first time in 1207 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:34,759 Speaker 27: years with the Russians and talked about a path forward 1208 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,040 Speaker 27: with peace. On top of that, and one of the 1209 01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:41,040 Speaker 27: things that led to that was a tremendous confidence building 1210 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,240 Speaker 27: measure that we had with the release of Mark Fogel. 1211 01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,280 Speaker 27: Our mind everyone, the last time that we had an 1212 01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 27: American released from the Russians, either we gave up a 1213 01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:56,400 Speaker 27: deadly spy, pressured our allies to give up a lethal killer, 1214 01:10:56,520 --> 01:11:00,439 Speaker 27: or we released under the Biden administration, the world's most 1215 01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 27: notorious arms dealer, Victor boot who, by the way, had 1216 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,720 Speaker 27: one of his main clients for arms, the cartels in 1217 01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:09,839 Speaker 27: Mexico and Central America. 1218 01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:10,960 Speaker 2: We gave up none of that. 1219 01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,679 Speaker 27: This was released as a confidence building measure, working with 1220 01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:19,120 Speaker 27: our great Middle East Envoy Steve Whitkoff and our Secretary 1221 01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:23,240 Speaker 27: of State as a first step towards opening these talks 1222 01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,519 Speaker 27: and then moving forward towards peace. On top of that, 1223 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 27: we've secured just in a month the return of a 1224 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:37,720 Speaker 27: dozen twelve American hostages from Russia, from Bulgaria, from Venezuela, 1225 01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:42,600 Speaker 27: the Taliban and Hamas. Excuse me, that's from Belarus, not Bulgaria. 1226 01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:48,280 Speaker 27: We also had, for the first time in quite some time, 1227 01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,920 Speaker 27: we took out a senior leader of ISIS, an international 1228 01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:57,040 Speaker 27: financier and recruiter that the military had been trying to 1229 01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:01,640 Speaker 27: take out for quite some time and wasn't able to 1230 01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:05,759 Speaker 27: do so. Frankly because of a bureaucratic approval process. President 1231 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:09,600 Speaker 27: Trump said, take him out, and that ISIS financier and 1232 01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:14,519 Speaker 27: leader is no longer on this earth. We've also taken 1233 01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:18,200 Speaker 27: action to eliminate other terrorist organizations in the Middle East. 1234 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,240 Speaker 27: We drove before the President was even in office, he 1235 01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:27,160 Speaker 27: started talking consequences for people that would hold Americans Heretofore, 1236 01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:30,200 Speaker 27: there's been nothing but upside. You take an American, you 1237 01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:32,640 Speaker 27: get some better deal. You take another one, maybe you 1238 01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 27: get a better deal. No more, there is now nothing 1239 01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:40,080 Speaker 27: but downside for taking Americans illegally, either as hostages or 1240 01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:44,000 Speaker 27: illegal detainees. And when President Trump sent a very clear 1241 01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,840 Speaker 27: message across the Middle East, but particularly to Hamas, that 1242 01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 27: there would be all hell to pay, we suddenly saw 1243 01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:53,760 Speaker 27: a breakthrough. And now we just saw the release of 1244 01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:57,519 Speaker 27: yet another group of hostages. There have been dozens now, 1245 01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:02,160 Speaker 27: including two Americans that we've seen one again reunited with 1246 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:06,960 Speaker 27: their families. As part of the talks with King of Dullah, 1247 01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:11,440 Speaker 27: he offered, and I think the entire world is graciously 1248 01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:17,640 Speaker 27: accepted to take two thousand sick children, cancer patients and 1249 01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:23,360 Speaker 27: others out of Gaza as a humanitarian As a humanitarian gesture, 1250 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:28,120 Speaker 27: two thousand Gozins will come out of that hell hole 1251 01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:32,280 Speaker 27: that it is, that wasteland that Gaza is right now 1252 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:36,920 Speaker 27: with unexploded ordinance, with debris everywhere, with no sewage, with 1253 01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:41,160 Speaker 27: no water. And President Trump has put forward a plan 1254 01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,439 Speaker 27: to deal with the practical reality that is one point 1255 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:50,519 Speaker 27: eight million Gosins now truly suffering. And then you know, 1256 01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,920 Speaker 27: just to bring it back to our own hemisphere. We've seen, 1257 01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:59,800 Speaker 27: literally in the last month, after years of national security experts, 1258 01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,720 Speaker 27: that generals in charge and others testifying and ringing the 1259 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:08,880 Speaker 27: alarm bells about the Chinese Communist Party's presence in our 1260 01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:12,600 Speaker 27: own hemisphere, particularly in the Panama Canal, we're seeing the 1261 01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:16,959 Speaker 27: leadership of Panama step away from the Belton Road Program, 1262 01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:20,479 Speaker 27: move away from China and back towards the United States, 1263 01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:26,760 Speaker 27: and even enter into talks and other negotiations about addressing 1264 01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:31,040 Speaker 27: the ports on either side of the canal. And then finally, 1265 01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,439 Speaker 27: last but not least, we've had four world leaders in 1266 01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,920 Speaker 27: the White House in the Oval Office. We've had the 1267 01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,800 Speaker 27: Prime Minister of Japan, the Prime Minister of India, the 1268 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,760 Speaker 27: King of Jordan, and of course the Prime Minister of 1269 01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,679 Speaker 27: Israel just in the last four weeks. And next week 1270 01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:51,080 Speaker 27: we'll have the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and 1271 01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:56,320 Speaker 27: we'll have the President of France Macrone. So President Trump 1272 01:14:56,400 --> 01:15:00,400 Speaker 27: is on what we call Trump warp speed. We are 1273 01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:05,719 Speaker 27: all we are all honored to be really serving under 1274 01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:10,000 Speaker 27: his leadership and his vision. And truly, you know, when 1275 01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:13,160 Speaker 27: we all say, and the President himself says says, he 1276 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,320 Speaker 27: is a president of peace. He is a president focused 1277 01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:21,040 Speaker 27: on restoring stability. I think the entire world saw what 1278 01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:24,280 Speaker 27: the world will look like without strong American leadership in 1279 01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,320 Speaker 27: the last four years, and it's truly been an honor 1280 01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:30,000 Speaker 27: to get us back to where we were and back 1281 01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,759 Speaker 27: on track under President Trump's leadership. 1282 01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:37,280 Speaker 11: Thank you, Mike, thank you, thank you everybody. I'm sure 1283 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,040 Speaker 11: you're very eager to ask questions of these very smart 1284 01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,479 Speaker 11: people working very hard on behalf of the president. We 1285 01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,240 Speaker 11: do have somebody in our new media seat today. We 1286 01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,439 Speaker 11: have John Stoll, who is the head of News at X. 1287 01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:51,800 Speaker 11: As you all know, you're all on X.

I think this is for Mike. Well, 1318 01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 26: my question is about Ukraine. Sure, for about more than 1319 01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 26: ten years, I've been fascinated, like many with what's going on. 1320 01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:30,680 Speaker 16: Was in northern Europe. 1321 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,080 Speaker 26: Working out of the Baltics when Crimea was annexed and 1322 01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,160 Speaker 26: was a lot a lot of this came on Twitter, 1323 01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:40,360 Speaker 26: the platform used to be known as Twitter. 1324 01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:42,639 Speaker 8: Was a lot of. 1325 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 26: European leaders would would would talk about their disappointment and 1326 01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,519 Speaker 26: solidarity with Ukraine, but when it came to actually doing something, 1327 01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:50,360 Speaker 26: it felt like they were. 1328 01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:52,400 Speaker 16: Passing a hot potato and set it over. 1329 01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:52,799 Speaker 18: To the Atlantic. 1330 01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,120 Speaker 26: I wonder how much of what we're seeing right now 1331 01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,680 Speaker 26: out of the administration of President Trump is a call 1332 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:01,920 Speaker 26: to Europe and the European leaders and the allies that 1333 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,360 Speaker 26: we've traditionally had and pick up that hot potato and 1334 01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:08,160 Speaker 26: start doing something a little bit more concrete to win 1335 01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:09,759 Speaker 26: and preserve the peace in Ukraine. 1336 01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:14,200 Speaker 16: The second question I have is it's related is there's. 1337 01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:18,240 Speaker 26: Been some a lot of speculation that President Trump and 1338 01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:19,280 Speaker 26: an administration might. 1339 01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 16: Be manipulated Vladimir Putin. I wonder if you just talk a. 1340 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:27,080 Speaker 26: Little bit about the administration's posture and your confidence and 1341 01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:29,920 Speaker 26: the competence of this administration to go to totel with 1342 01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:30,960 Speaker 26: Vladimir Putin. 1343 01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:33,320 Speaker 27: Well, if there's in I'll take the second question first, 1344 01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:36,559 Speaker 27: If there's anybody in this world that can go toe 1345 01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:38,599 Speaker 27: to toe with Putin, that could go toe to toe 1346 01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:40,559 Speaker 27: with She, that could go toe to toe with Kim 1347 01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:44,080 Speaker 27: Jong un, And you could keep going down the list. 1348 01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:44,840 Speaker 27: It's Donald J. 1349 01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,360 Speaker 2: Trump. He is the deal maker in chief. 1350 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,920 Speaker 27: There is no question that he is the commander in chief, 1351 01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:53,479 Speaker 27: and I, for one, and I think all Americans and 1352 01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:58,879 Speaker 27: around the world should have no doubt about his ability 1353 01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,600 Speaker 27: to not only handle Poot, but to handle the complexity 1354 01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:06,000 Speaker 27: of driving this war to an end. And then on 1355 01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:08,479 Speaker 27: your first piece on Europe, I'll take you back to 1356 01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,679 Speaker 27: twenty fourteen. You're right there was a lot of hand 1357 01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:13,559 Speaker 27: ringing in Europe and not a lot of action. There's 1358 01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:16,200 Speaker 27: also a lot of hand ringing here in Washington under 1359 01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:18,880 Speaker 27: the Obama administration and not a lot of action. They 1360 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:22,320 Speaker 27: literally threw blankets of the problem. And so I'll remind 1361 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:28,080 Speaker 27: everyone that Putin had some type of conflict invasion issue 1362 01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:32,240 Speaker 27: with their neighbor under President Bush, with Georgia, under President 1363 01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:36,840 Speaker 27: Obama with Ukraine twenty fourteen, not under President Trump forty five, 1364 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:40,599 Speaker 27: and again with President Biden in twenty twenty two. 1365 01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:42,120 Speaker 2: The war should have been deterred. 1366 01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:43,920 Speaker 27: The war should have never happened, and I have no 1367 01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,479 Speaker 27: doubt it would not have happened under President Trump and 1368 01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:50,400 Speaker 27: will stop under President President Trump again. But I just 1369 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:52,639 Speaker 27: want to push back on this notion of our European 1370 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:56,839 Speaker 27: allies not being consulted as we've entered into this process. 1371 01:19:56,920 --> 01:20:00,160 Speaker 27: I already mentioned the immediate phone call President Trump made 1372 01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,519 Speaker 27: to President Zelensky. He has talked to President Macrone of 1373 01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:08,800 Speaker 27: France repeatedly. Last week, President Macron convened European leaders and 1374 01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 27: then is coming here on Monday. Prime Minister Starmer is 1375 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:17,200 Speaker 27: coming next Thursday. We've also I've talked to every one 1376 01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:24,599 Speaker 27: of my national security national security advisor counterparts across across 1377 01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,880 Speaker 27: the spectrum in Europe. I've talked to Secretary General Ruta, 1378 01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:31,640 Speaker 27: the leader of NATO, the Secretary General of NATO. We 1379 01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 27: have repeatedly, Oh, by the way, we had half our cabinet, 1380 01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:38,400 Speaker 27: seven cabinet officials, including the Vice President at the Munich 1381 01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:43,080 Speaker 27: Security Conference, all engaging, all listening, and all making sure 1382 01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:46,840 Speaker 27: our allies are hurt. However, we've also made it clear 1383 01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:52,439 Speaker 27: for years, decades even that it is unacceptable that the 1384 01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:56,080 Speaker 27: United States and the United States taxpayer continues to bear 1385 01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:58,920 Speaker 27: the burden not only of the costs of the war 1386 01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:02,439 Speaker 27: in Ukraine, but of the defense of Europe. We fully 1387 01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:08,080 Speaker 27: support our NATO allies, we fully support the Article five commitment. 1388 01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:10,920 Speaker 27: But it's time for our European allies to step up. 1389 01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 27: And one of the things that Secretary General Ruta said 1390 01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:16,200 Speaker 27: on our call was this last couple of weeks have 1391 01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,520 Speaker 27: been a real wake up call. And I asked him, 1392 01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,120 Speaker 27: what have you been missing the last couple of years. 1393 01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,439 Speaker 27: The fact that we are going to enter into a 1394 01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,800 Speaker 27: NATO summit this June with a third of our NATO 1395 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:31,559 Speaker 27: allies still not meeting the two percent minimum, a commitment 1396 01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:35,680 Speaker 27: they made a decade ago, literally a decade ago, with 1397 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:39,120 Speaker 27: a war on their doorstep, the largest war that they're 1398 01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:43,800 Speaker 27: all extremely concerned about. But yet it's well, somebody else 1399 01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:48,280 Speaker 27: needs to pay. We've got other domestic priorities. It's unacceptable. 1400 01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,200 Speaker 27: President Trump's made that clear and the minimum needs to 1401 01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:52,920 Speaker 27: be met. We need to be at one hundred percent 1402 01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:55,519 Speaker 27: in this June at the NATO summit, and then let's 1403 01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:58,519 Speaker 27: talk about exceeding it, which is what President Trump has 1404 01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,720 Speaker 27: been talking about. With five percent of GDP, Europe needs 1405 01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:04,200 Speaker 27: to step up for their own defense as a partner, 1406 01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:06,559 Speaker 27: and we can be friends and allies and have those 1407 01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:08,719 Speaker 27: tough conversations right. 1408 01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:09,960 Speaker 16: Thank you, Caroline. 1409 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:11,840 Speaker 29: I have a ukraine one and a doze one who 1410 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:20,000 Speaker 29: can talk doge. So, Stephen, we're hearing about these dosee 1411 01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,040 Speaker 29: dividend checks that would be twenty percent back to taxpayers, 1412 01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:26,599 Speaker 29: twenty percent to pay down the debt, sixty percent is left. 1413 01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:27,280 Speaker 1: Who gets that? 1414 01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:31,560 Speaker 24: Well, the way that it works is when you achieve savings, 1415 01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:34,320 Speaker 24: you can either return to the taxpayers, you can return 1416 01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:38,720 Speaker 24: it to our debtors, or it can be cycled into 1417 01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:41,000 Speaker 24: next year's budget and then it just lowers the overall 1418 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,000 Speaker 24: baseline for next year. So in other words, you can 1419 01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:45,679 Speaker 24: just transfer into the next fiscal window and then lower 1420 01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,080 Speaker 24: the overall spending level. And that means that you can 1421 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,960 Speaker 24: achieve a permanent savings that way, and that reduces the deficit. 1422 01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:53,479 Speaker 29: And when is it that people might see those checks? 1423 01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:56,000 Speaker 24: What's all going to be worked on through the reconciliation 1424 01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:58,840 Speaker 24: of process with concress that's going underway right now, as 1425 01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:00,880 Speaker 24: you've seen the set that's moving a bill of the 1426 01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:03,480 Speaker 24: House is moving a bill. The president has great confidence 1427 01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,040 Speaker 24: in both chambers to deliver on his priorities. I would 1428 01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:09,160 Speaker 24: just take this opportunity to note the President Trump has 1429 01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:11,920 Speaker 24: made a historic commitment to the working class of this 1430 01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:15,599 Speaker 24: country to fight for a major tax relief and major 1431 01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:18,960 Speaker 24: price relief and cutting spending as Doze is doing. And 1432 01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,600 Speaker 24: cutting taxes is the key to delivering on both of 1433 01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:24,599 Speaker 24: those promises, and President Trump is resolutely committed to doing both. 1434 01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:25,280 Speaker 14: Thank you. 1435 01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:27,559 Speaker 29: And on Ukraine, I guess this is from my sure 1436 01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:31,600 Speaker 29: after the President's post on truth social yesterday. Need to 1437 01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:34,800 Speaker 29: know who does he think is more responsible for the 1438 01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:36,679 Speaker 29: Russian invasion of Ukraine? 1439 01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:38,600 Speaker 16: Who ords Zelenski? 1440 01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:42,599 Speaker 27: Well, Look, his goal, Peter, is to bring this war 1441 01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:48,160 Speaker 27: to an end period, and there has been ongoing fighting 1442 01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:52,799 Speaker 27: on both sides. It is World War One style trench warfare. 1443 01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:57,960 Speaker 27: His frustration with President Zelenski is that you've heard is multifold. 1444 01:23:58,080 --> 01:23:58,320 Speaker 8: One. 1445 01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:02,519 Speaker 27: There needs to be a deep appreciation for what the 1446 01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:06,719 Speaker 27: American people, what the American taxpayer, what President Trump did 1447 01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:10,720 Speaker 27: in his first term, and what we've done since. So 1448 01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:13,439 Speaker 27: some of the rhetoric coming out of Kiev, frankly and 1449 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,720 Speaker 27: insults to President Trump were unacceptable. 1450 01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:17,120 Speaker 2: Number one. 1451 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:21,160 Speaker 27: Number two, our own Secretary of Treasury personally made the 1452 01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:26,000 Speaker 27: trip to offer the Ukrainians what can only be described 1453 01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 27: as a historic opportunity, that is for America to co 1454 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:34,200 Speaker 27: invest with Ukraine in their minerals, in their resources to 1455 01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,240 Speaker 27: truly grow the pie. So case in point, there's a 1456 01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:42,760 Speaker 27: foundry that processes aluminum in Ukraine. It's been damaged, it's 1457 01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:46,640 Speaker 27: not at its current capacity. If that is restored, it 1458 01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:51,040 Speaker 27: would account for America's entire imports of aluminum for an 1459 01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:55,280 Speaker 27: entire year that one foundry. There are tremendous resources there. 1460 01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:59,160 Speaker 27: Not only is that long term security for Ukraine. Not 1461 01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:01,840 Speaker 27: only do we help the grow the pie with investments, 1462 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:04,720 Speaker 27: but you know, we do have an obligation to the 1463 01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:10,040 Speaker 27: American taxpayer and helping them recoup the hundreds of billions 1464 01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:14,439 Speaker 27: that have occurred. So, you know, rather than enter into 1465 01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:19,599 Speaker 27: some constructive conversations about what that deal should be going forward, 1466 01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 27: we got a lot of rhetoric in the media that 1467 01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:25,800 Speaker 27: was incredibly unfortunate. And I could just tell you, Peter, 1468 01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:30,000 Speaker 27: you know, as a veteran, as somebody who's been in combat, 1469 01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,519 Speaker 27: this war is horrific, and I think we've lost sight 1470 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 27: of that, of the literally thousands of people that are 1471 01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:41,559 Speaker 27: dying a day, families that are going without the next generation, 1472 01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:45,640 Speaker 27: and I find it kind of you know, frankly ridiculous. 1473 01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:49,080 Speaker 27: So many people in Washington that were just demanding, pounding 1474 01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:52,879 Speaker 27: the table for a ceasefire in Gaza are suddenly aghast 1475 01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:55,680 Speaker 27: that the President would demand one, and both sides come 1476 01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:59,160 Speaker 27: to the table when it talks to when it comes 1477 01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:04,080 Speaker 27: to Ukraine, a war that has been arguably far greater 1478 01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:08,719 Speaker 27: in scope and scale and far more dangerous in terms 1479 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,040 Speaker 27: of global escalation to US security. 1480 01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:13,240 Speaker 21: And I do have one for Caroline. 1481 01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:19,080 Speaker 29: Does President Trump alf bettrude about this USA Canada hockey 1482 01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,920 Speaker 29: game tonight? And when there is a big hockey game on, 1483 01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:24,960 Speaker 29: is the President watching for the goals or. 1484 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:26,000 Speaker 8: For the fights? 1485 01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:27,840 Speaker 1: Probably both? 1486 01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,599 Speaker 11: I think he's watching for the United States to win tonight. 1487 01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:34,320 Speaker 11: I know he talked to the USA hockey team this morning. 1488 01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:37,160 Speaker 11: He talked to the players after their morning practice around 1489 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:40,240 Speaker 11: ten o'clock. And I also spoke to some folks from 1490 01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:44,080 Speaker 11: that team after they were jubilant over President Trump's comments 1491 01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:45,559 Speaker 11: to the team. I believe They're going to put out 1492 01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:48,200 Speaker 11: a video of that call. So he looks forward to 1493 01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:50,120 Speaker 11: watching the game tonight, and we look forward to the 1494 01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:53,360 Speaker 11: United States beating hour soon to be fifty first state Canada. 1495 01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,880 Speaker 11: Bloomberg go ahead, Waltz. 1496 01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,080 Speaker 30: Can you give us a readout of Hell's meeting with 1497 01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:01,599 Speaker 30: Zelenski that is wrapped up and in parsecular. 1498 01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:05,639 Speaker 31: Zelenski publicly rejected this deal about the rare earth minerals. 1499 01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:06,759 Speaker 18: Where does that stand? 1500 01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:10,320 Speaker 27: Well, we're going to continue to have He needs to 1501 01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,080 Speaker 27: come back to the table and we're going to continue 1502 01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:15,920 Speaker 27: to have discussions about where that deal is going. Again, 1503 01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,120 Speaker 27: we have an obligation in the taxpayer. I think this 1504 01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:20,880 Speaker 27: is an opportunity. The President thinks this is an opportunity 1505 01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:24,840 Speaker 27: for Ukraine going forward. There can be, in my view, 1506 01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:30,800 Speaker 27: nothing better for Ukraine's future and for their security than 1507 01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:35,040 Speaker 27: to have the United States invested in their prosperity long term. 1508 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,240 Speaker 27: And then a key piece of this has also been 1509 01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:42,920 Speaker 27: security guarantees. Look, the reality that we're talking about here 1510 01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:46,120 Speaker 27: is is it in Ukraine's interest? 1511 01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:47,920 Speaker 2: Is it in Europe's interest? 1512 01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:51,080 Speaker 27: It certainly isn't in Russia's interest or in the American 1513 01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:55,599 Speaker 27: people's interest for this war to grind on forever and 1514 01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:58,720 Speaker 27: ever and ever. So a key part of his conversation 1515 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:03,000 Speaker 27: was helping Presidents Lensky understand this war needs to come 1516 01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:06,160 Speaker 27: to an end. This kind of open ended mantra that 1517 01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:09,559 Speaker 27: we've had under the Biden administration. That's over, and I 1518 01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:11,760 Speaker 27: think a lot of people are having a hard time 1519 01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,240 Speaker 27: accepting that. And then the other piece is there's been 1520 01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:19,839 Speaker 27: discussions from Prime Minister Stormer and also President Macron about 1521 01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:22,080 Speaker 27: European led security guarantees. 1522 01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,480 Speaker 2: We welcome that. We've been asking. 1523 01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:28,080 Speaker 27: Europe to step up and secure its own prosperity, safety 1524 01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:31,559 Speaker 27: and security. So we certainly welcome that, and we certainly 1525 01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:35,720 Speaker 27: welcome more European assistants. As I told my counterparts, come 1526 01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:39,679 Speaker 27: to the table with more if you want a bigger 1527 01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 27: seat at the table, and we've been asking for that 1528 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:43,160 Speaker 27: for quite some time. 1529 01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:46,479 Speaker 32: And dish for sanctions in your talks with them, and 1530 01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:49,839 Speaker 32: if you consulted with international partners and allies about potentially 1531 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:53,360 Speaker 32: rolling back sanctions in these negotiations to end those. 1532 01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:57,439 Speaker 27: The talks with our Russian counterparts, both with my counterpart, 1533 01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:02,880 Speaker 27: the National Security Advisor, Secretary Rubia's counterpart, the foreign minister, 1534 01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:08,800 Speaker 27: Foreign Minister Lavrov, you know it, it really was quite broad, uh, 1535 01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:14,000 Speaker 27: focused on what is the goals for our broader relationship, uh, 1536 01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:17,120 Speaker 27: but very clear that the fighting has to stop to 1537 01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:19,240 Speaker 27: get to any of those brighter goals and as a 1538 01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:21,599 Speaker 27: first step, We're just going to do some common sense 1539 01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,760 Speaker 27: things like restore the the ability of both of our 1540 01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:26,200 Speaker 27: embassies to function. 1541 01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:26,960 Speaker 4: Uh. 1542 01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,479 Speaker 27: And again you know this is this was common sense 1543 01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:32,400 Speaker 27: in foreign policy world. 1544 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:33,960 Speaker 2: They call it shuttle diplomacy. 1545 01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:34,559 Speaker 16: Uh. 1546 01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:37,519 Speaker 27: We have to talk to both sides in order to 1547 01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:40,320 Speaker 27: get to both sides to the table, and both sides 1548 01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:42,120 Speaker 27: have said only President Trump could do that. 1549 01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:44,400 Speaker 18: Deanna, thank you. 1550 01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:46,360 Speaker 16: And my question is for Mike Walms right. 1551 01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:51,559 Speaker 19: The President has called Lensky a dictator. Does he view 1552 01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:56,200 Speaker 19: Putin as a dictator? And does he want Zelensky out 1553 01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:59,719 Speaker 19: of power? I know he's called for elections. And then thirdly, 1554 01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:03,640 Speaker 19: the head of the Defense committee in Ukraine's parliament just 1555 01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:07,120 Speaker 19: has claimed that the US has stopped selling weapons to Ukraine. 1556 01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:08,280 Speaker 18: Is not true. 1557 01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:11,799 Speaker 27: Well, most of our weapons that have gone to Ukraine 1558 01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:14,280 Speaker 27: have been part of a drawdown authority where we've literally 1559 01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:18,600 Speaker 27: taken them out of our stocks and then eventually, through appropriations, 1560 01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:23,280 Speaker 27: started buying them again to refill our stocks. I'll just 1561 01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:25,479 Speaker 27: state that there has been a lag and a lot 1562 01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:27,680 Speaker 27: of that process. So many of our stocks, as we 1563 01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:32,479 Speaker 27: look at our operations around the world, are becoming more depleted. 1564 01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:35,080 Speaker 27: That's one of the reasons many people have had a 1565 01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:38,160 Speaker 27: lot of concern about when does this end, how much 1566 01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:40,439 Speaker 27: is it going to take, how many lives will be lost, 1567 01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:43,320 Speaker 27: how much will we be how much will we spend. 1568 01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:45,040 Speaker 2: As a member of Congress, we. 1569 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:48,080 Speaker 27: Repeatedly asked the Biden administration those questions, and we never 1570 01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:54,360 Speaker 27: got a satisfactory answer. Look, President Trump is obviously very 1571 01:30:54,400 --> 01:31:00,040 Speaker 27: frustrated right now with President Zelenski, the fact that he 1572 01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:04,360 Speaker 27: hasn't come to the table, that he hasn't been willing 1573 01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:07,360 Speaker 27: to take this opportunity that we have offered. I think 1574 01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:10,760 Speaker 27: he eventually will get to that point, and I hope 1575 01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:12,000 Speaker 27: so very quickly. 1576 01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:14,320 Speaker 2: But President Trump is, as we made. 1577 01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:16,800 Speaker 27: Clear to our Russian counterparts, and I want to make 1578 01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:20,639 Speaker 27: clear today, he's focused on stopping the fighting and moving forward. 1579 01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,479 Speaker 27: And we could argue all day long about what's happened 1580 01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:23,960 Speaker 27: in the past. 1581 01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:29,880 Speaker 11: Regan, excuse me, I just called on Reagan. 1582 01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:30,519 Speaker 18: Reagan, go ahead. 1583 01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:32,439 Speaker 16: I have a question for Steven and a question to Mike. 1584 01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:33,760 Speaker 16: Get to start with you. 1585 01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:38,880 Speaker 30: Thank you, that Trump is unhappy with the rated depportations 1586 01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:41,400 Speaker 30: and he wants them to be hired. Is the president 1587 01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:44,320 Speaker 30: happy with the rated deep ortations and are there any 1588 01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:45,799 Speaker 30: chances feed of the process. 1589 01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:49,280 Speaker 24: Well, first of all, we all appreciate the encouragement from 1590 01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:52,360 Speaker 24: the media to deport as many legal aliens as humanly possible. 1591 01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:55,920 Speaker 24: So thank you, and I will promise you that the 1592 01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:59,120 Speaker 24: full might of the Department of Homeland Security, the Department 1593 01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:02,959 Speaker 24: of Justice, Department of Defense, and every element and instrument 1594 01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:07,200 Speaker 24: of national power will be used to remove with speed 1595 01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:10,840 Speaker 24: all criminal illegals from the soil of the United States 1596 01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:14,439 Speaker 24: of America, to enforce final removal orders, and to ensure 1597 01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:17,400 Speaker 24: that this country is for American citizens and those who 1598 01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:20,880 Speaker 24: legally belong in this country. We inherited an ICE that 1599 01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:24,880 Speaker 24: was completely shuttered. We inherited a Department of Homelandsecurity whose 1600 01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:28,479 Speaker 24: sole mission was to resettle illegal aliens within the United 1601 01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:32,040 Speaker 24: States of America. In thirty days, the President sealed the 1602 01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:36,880 Speaker 24: border shut declared the cartels to be terrorist organizations. Has 1603 01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:41,120 Speaker 24: increased ICE deportations to levels not seen in decades, and 1604 01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:43,599 Speaker 24: we are shortly on the verge of achieving a pace 1605 01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:47,160 Speaker 24: and speed of deportations this country has never before seen. 1606 01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:48,479 Speaker 2: Thank you and Mike. 1607 01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:53,080 Speaker 30: There the reports that there's some underground proposition to Trump's 1608 01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:56,559 Speaker 30: pick for under Secretary of Defense and Policy Albridge Colby. 1609 01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:00,080 Speaker 30: Have you or anyone from the administration been personally of 1610 01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:04,160 Speaker 30: lobbying senators to support helperge Colby. 1611 01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:09,280 Speaker 27: Look, I've worked with Bridge Colby in the past. He 1612 01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:13,719 Speaker 27: has the President's full support to be the Undersecretary of Policy, 1613 01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:16,879 Speaker 27: which will be a critical policy arm for Secretary Hegseth 1614 01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:19,840 Speaker 27: going forward. That will implement a lot of these policies. 1615 01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:23,320 Speaker 27: And really that's been to the extent of it. I 1616 01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:25,640 Speaker 27: think there's been a lot of kind of you know, 1617 01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:30,200 Speaker 27: breathless I don't know, back and forth in the in 1618 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:33,000 Speaker 27: the press, but we're full speed ahead to get the 1619 01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:36,000 Speaker 27: president's team in place so we can implement his America 1620 01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:36,800 Speaker 27: First policy. 1621 01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:37,240 Speaker 16: Thank you. 1622 01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:40,640 Speaker 11: Mike has spoken pretty extensively. Does anybody have questions for 1623 01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:43,679 Speaker 11: Stephen or for mister Hassett. Nobody wants to talk about 1624 01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:44,720 Speaker 11: the economy. 1625 01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:48,400 Speaker 22: Yeah, sure, I r s okay, I have this for 1626 01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:49,240 Speaker 22: either one of you. 1627 01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:51,800 Speaker 18: So we've reported several. 1628 01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:55,880 Speaker 33: Other outlets have reported that about thirty five hundred people 1629 01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:58,720 Speaker 33: are due to be lose their jobs at the I 1630 01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,360 Speaker 33: R S by the end of the week. The goal 1631 01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:04,320 Speaker 33: of these spending cuts across the federal government has been 1632 01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:07,519 Speaker 33: to reduce the debt. Why impost some of the deepest 1633 01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:10,280 Speaker 33: cuts we've seen so far at the agency responsible for 1634 01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:12,160 Speaker 33: raising revenue for the federal government. 1635 01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:14,080 Speaker 25: Well, I think our objective is to make sure that 1636 01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:17,960 Speaker 25: the employees that we pay are being productive and effective. 1637 01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:21,679 Speaker 25: And there are many, many, more than one hundred thousand 1638 01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:24,280 Speaker 25: people working to collect taxes, and not all of them 1639 01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:27,640 Speaker 25: are fully occupied. And the Treasury Secretary is studying the 1640 01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:30,920 Speaker 25: matter and feels like thirty five hundred is a small 1641 01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:32,760 Speaker 25: number and probably you can get bigger. 1642 01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:35,880 Speaker 8: Especially as we improve the it at the IRS. 1643 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:38,600 Speaker 25: So I think that it's absolutely something that is on 1644 01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:40,519 Speaker 25: the table for good reasons. And the point is that 1645 01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:43,799 Speaker 25: don't just talk about the RS, talk about all of government. 1646 01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:46,200 Speaker 25: That there are so many places I live in DC. 1647 01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:48,160 Speaker 25: You've maybe live in d C where you never there. 1648 01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:52,000 Speaker 25: Nobody's going into the buildings, people aren't commuting because nobody's 1649 01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:53,680 Speaker 25: doing their job. We look back and we see that 1650 01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:55,680 Speaker 25: there are all these people doing two jobs while they're 1651 01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:57,960 Speaker 25: getting a government payroll on the payroll. So the point 1652 01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:00,599 Speaker 25: is we're fixing that, and the RS a small part 1653 01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:01,200 Speaker 25: of that picture. 1654 01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:04,120 Speaker 31: So you're saying that everybody who's being let go was 1655 01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:05,599 Speaker 31: doing a bad job. 1656 01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:09,559 Speaker 25: I'm saying that we're studying every agency and deciding who 1657 01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:11,559 Speaker 25: to let go and why, and we're doing so very 1658 01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:15,479 Speaker 25: rationally with a lot of support from analysis, because. 1659 01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:16,960 Speaker 31: We're being told by a lot of people who have 1660 01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:20,000 Speaker 31: been let go and other agencies that they were told 1661 01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:22,720 Speaker 31: they were being dismissed because of poor performance, when in 1662 01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:25,720 Speaker 31: some cases they haven't even had a performance review yet 1663 01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:27,800 Speaker 31: because they've only been on the job a couple of months. 1664 01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:28,160 Speaker 27: Yeah. 1665 01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:30,320 Speaker 25: I've never seen a person who was laid off for 1666 01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:34,360 Speaker 25: poor performance say that they were performing poorly. 1667 01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,360 Speaker 18: Okay, good point, Sure, Kate. 1668 01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:39,599 Speaker 32: I have a question also, as you Kevin asked, thank 1669 01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:41,200 Speaker 32: you for being here and that I've got a question 1670 01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:44,160 Speaker 32: for mister Willis on these potential checks that you might 1671 01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:46,400 Speaker 32: send out from DOGE. Is there a concern as you're 1672 01:35:46,439 --> 01:35:48,840 Speaker 32: thinking through this, that they could be inflationary? 1673 01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:49,320 Speaker 21: Oh? 1674 01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:53,240 Speaker 25: Absolutely not, because imagine if we don't spend government money 1675 01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:55,640 Speaker 25: and we give it back to people that the you know, 1676 01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:57,920 Speaker 25: if they spend it all, then you're even but they're 1677 01:35:57,920 --> 01:35:59,200 Speaker 25: probably going to save a lot of it, in which 1678 01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,960 Speaker 25: case you're reducing it. And also with the government spends 1679 01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:03,840 Speaker 25: a lot, that's what creates inflation. We learned that from 1680 01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:06,280 Speaker 25: Joe Biden. And so if we reduce government spending, that that's, 1681 01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:09,080 Speaker 25: you know, reduces inflation. And if you give people money, 1682 01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:10,960 Speaker 25: then they're going to save a bunch of it. And 1683 01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:14,080 Speaker 25: would they say it, then that also reduces demand, reduces inflation. 1684 01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,600 Speaker 18: Okay, so you're not worried about it. In ortible to 1685 01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:18,320 Speaker 18: followup on Peter's question, you wrote in. 1686 01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:20,320 Speaker 32: An op ed in the fall of twenty twenty three. 1687 01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:22,800 Speaker 11: That quote protent is to blame, certainly like al Kainda 1688 01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:23,760 Speaker 11: was to blame. 1689 01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:24,160 Speaker 18: For nine to eleven. 1690 01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:26,160 Speaker 32: Do you still feel that way now or do you 1691 01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:27,920 Speaker 32: share the president's. 1692 01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:29,600 Speaker 16: Assessment as he says Ukraine is to blame for the 1693 01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:30,240 Speaker 16: start of this war. 1694 01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:33,000 Speaker 27: Well, it shouldn't surprise you that I share the president's 1695 01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:36,280 Speaker 27: assessment on all kinds of issues. What I wrote as 1696 01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:39,960 Speaker 27: a member of Congress was as a former member of Congress. Look, 1697 01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:42,960 Speaker 27: what I share the president's assessment on is that the 1698 01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:46,760 Speaker 27: war has to end and what comes with that. What 1699 01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:50,320 Speaker 27: comes with that should be at some point elections. What 1700 01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:53,000 Speaker 27: comes with that should be peace. What comes with that 1701 01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:56,880 Speaker 27: is prosperity that we've just offered in this natural resources 1702 01:36:56,880 --> 01:37:03,439 Speaker 27: and economic partnership arrangement to the killing and European. 1703 01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:05,120 Speaker 2: Security and security for the world. 1704 01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:08,599 Speaker 27: The President's not only determined to do that in Europe, 1705 01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:11,400 Speaker 27: he's determined to do it in the Middle East. And 1706 01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:14,160 Speaker 27: just a few months ago, we had an administration that 1707 01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:18,200 Speaker 27: had tried for fifteen months, week after week, sitting with 1708 01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:20,880 Speaker 27: you here, and couldn't get us to a ceasefire, couldn't 1709 01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:21,960 Speaker 27: get our hostages out. 1710 01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:23,479 Speaker 2: Now we're at that point. 1711 01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:27,000 Speaker 27: We're back to the maximum pressure on Iran, and we 1712 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:30,439 Speaker 27: will we have just begun, and we will drive towards 1713 01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:33,040 Speaker 27: a ceasefire and all of those other steps. I'm not 1714 01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:35,520 Speaker 27: going to pre negotiate or get ahead of the sequencing 1715 01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:39,519 Speaker 27: of all of that. It's a very delicate situation. But 1716 01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:42,040 Speaker 27: this is a president of peace, and who here would 1717 01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:43,280 Speaker 27: argue against peace? 1718 01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:49,000 Speaker 32: Okad and Jordan and Trump go ahead, Just toard you 1719 01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:49,920 Speaker 32: just had two questions. 1720 01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:57,400 Speaker 21: Go ahead, mister Hassett. You were speaking about tariff revenue, 1721 01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:01,240 Speaker 21: and you also addressed a question about the art. President 1722 01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:05,240 Speaker 21: Trump has spoken about replacing income tax with tiff revenue, 1723 01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:08,000 Speaker 21: especially with all this waste broad abuse that we're seeing cut. 1724 01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:10,560 Speaker 1: Is that a possibility? Absolutely? 1725 01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:13,160 Speaker 25: And in fact, if you think about the China tariff 1726 01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:16,360 Speaker 25: revenue that we're estimating is coming in from the ten 1727 01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:19,960 Speaker 25: percent that we just added plus the Dominimus thing. 1728 01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:21,519 Speaker 1: That it's between five. 1729 01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:24,400 Speaker 25: Hundred billion and a trillion dollars over ten years is 1730 01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:27,439 Speaker 25: our estimate. And that's something that is outside of the 1731 01:38:27,439 --> 01:38:31,160 Speaker 25: reductions that markets are seeing through the negotiations. 1732 01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:31,080 Speaker 2: Up on the Hill. 1733 01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:33,880 Speaker 25: And so we expect that the tariff revenue is actually 1734 01:38:33,880 --> 01:38:35,880 Speaker 25: going to make it much easier for Republicans to pass 1735 01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:38,040 Speaker 25: a bill. And that was the President's plan all along. 1736 01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:42,160 Speaker 21: And I have a question for Stephen Miller about DOGE. 1737 01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:46,719 Speaker 21: So you've spoke about Doge. You said, roughly fifty billion 1738 01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:49,720 Speaker 21: dollars is set to be caught in a year of 1739 01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:54,000 Speaker 21: waste frodden abuse by unelected bureaucrats. We're hearing this ironic 1740 01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:56,799 Speaker 21: narrative from the President's critics and the left wing media 1741 01:38:56,880 --> 01:39:00,280 Speaker 21: that Elon Muski is an unelected bureaucrat and he's doing 1742 01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:04,759 Speaker 21: all this terrible stuff. Isn't one of Doja's objectives to 1743 01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:08,000 Speaker 21: get rid of the federal bureaucracy, the deep state? And 1744 01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:11,200 Speaker 21: also who was running the White House when Joe Biden 1745 01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:13,320 Speaker 21: was in office, Because I don't know a single person 1746 01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:14,639 Speaker 21: who believed it was Joe Bidence. 1747 01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:19,880 Speaker 24: You're tempting me to say some very harsh things about 1748 01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:22,640 Speaker 24: some of our media friends. Yes, it is true that 1749 01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:25,759 Speaker 24: many of the people in this room for four years 1750 01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:29,479 Speaker 24: failed to cover the fact that Joe Biden was mentally 1751 01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:33,280 Speaker 24: incompetent and was not running the country. It is also 1752 01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:36,240 Speaker 24: true that many people in this room who have used 1753 01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:39,479 Speaker 24: this talking point that Elon is not elected, failed to 1754 01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:42,680 Speaker 24: understand how government works. So I'm glad for the opportunity 1755 01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:46,120 Speaker 24: for a brief civics lesson. A president is elected by 1756 01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:48,640 Speaker 24: the whole American people. He's the only official in the 1757 01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:51,880 Speaker 24: entire government that is elected by the entire nation. 1758 01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:54,639 Speaker 2: Right, judges are appointed. 1759 01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:57,040 Speaker 24: Members of Congress are elected at the district or state level, 1760 01:39:57,160 --> 01:39:59,840 Speaker 24: just one man. And the Constitution, Article two has a 1761 01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:02,120 Speaker 24: clause known as the vesting clause, and it says the 1762 01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:06,519 Speaker 24: executive power shall be vested in a president singular. The 1763 01:40:06,560 --> 01:40:11,400 Speaker 24: whole will of democracy is imbued into the elected president. 1764 01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:16,120 Speaker 24: That president then appoints staff to then impose that democratic 1765 01:40:16,240 --> 01:40:20,200 Speaker 24: will onto the government. The threat to democracy, indeed, the 1766 01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:25,120 Speaker 24: existential threat to democracy, is the unelected bureaucracy. Of lifetime 1767 01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:28,719 Speaker 24: tenured civil servants, who believe the answer to no one, 1768 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:31,640 Speaker 24: who believe they can do whatever they want without consequence, 1769 01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:34,519 Speaker 24: who believe they can set their own agenda no matter 1770 01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:38,440 Speaker 24: what Americans vote for.
