1
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael

2
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Verie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: What happened? Something must have happened.

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: It's not you, it's me.

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: You're giving me the it's not you, it's me routine

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: I invented.

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: It's not you, it's Smith.

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: Nobody tells me it's them, not me. If it's anybody,

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: it's me.

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: George, it's you.

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: You're a damn right, it's Meith.

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 3: Let's start with the new polling that shows the Democratic

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: Party has preached an all time low in popularity. The

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 3: latest NBC News national poll finds that a majority of

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: registered voters fifty five percent have a negative view of

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: the party, while percent just over a quarter of registered

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: voters have a positive view of the party. That's the

18
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 3: party's lowest rating in NBC News polling dating back to

19
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety. Meanwhile, though he Knews ANSSRS poll finds the

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 3: Democratic Party's favorability rating at just twenty nine percent, a

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: record low going back to nineteen ninety two and a

22
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: drop of twenty points since January of twenty twenty one.

23
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: What's more, just sixty three percent of Democrats and Democratic

24
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 3: leaning independents have a favorable view of their own party,

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 3: down nine points from January and eighteen points from the

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 3: start of the Biden administration.

27
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: Good, lady, you know good.

28
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: We want the Democrats to collapse, and exactly the moment

29
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: voters are going into vote. Does us less good today

30
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: than it will next November for them to fall apart.

31
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: The challenge for US is going to be now that

32
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: we've got them down. It's really an unforced err on

33
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: their part, to be honest with you, mostly to keep

34
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: them down, to keep our boot on their neck figuratively,

35
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: to keep their brand in disrepair. Want to talk about

36
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: that today. But first President Trump with a very important

37
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. This was the

38
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: press release that came shortly after, which was at about

39
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: twelve thirty Central today, came this missive. Today President Trump

40
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: and President Putin spoke about the need for peace and

41
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: a ceasefire in the Ukraine War. Both leaders have read

42
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: this conflict needs to end with a lasting piece. They

43
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: also stress the need or improved bilateral relations between the

44
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: United States and Russia. The blood and treasure that both

45
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: Ukraine and Russia have been spending in this war would

46
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: be better spent on the needs of their people. This

47
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: conflict should never have started and should have been ended

48
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The

49
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with

50
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations

51
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea,

52
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: full ceasefire, and permanent peace. These negotiations will begin immediately.

53
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: In the Middle East, the leaders spoke broadly about the

54
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: Middle East as a region of potential cooperation to prevent

55
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: future conflicts. They further discussed the need to stop proliferation

56
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: of strategic weapons and will engage with others to ensure

57
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: the broadest possible application that's Iran. The two leaders shared

58
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: the view that Iran should never be in a position

59
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: to destroy Israel. The two leaders agree that a future

60
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: with an improved bilateral relationship between the United States and

61
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: Russia has huge upside. This includes enormous economic deals and

62
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: geopolitical stability. When peace has been achieved, the left will

63
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: call this Russia collusion, They'll call Trump Putin's puppet, they

64
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: will call this everything. But what it is this is

65
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: diplomacy done right. This is that word that is all

66
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: too often given and very rarely accurate. This is statesmanship,

67
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: This is the stuff of legend. This is how great

68
00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: empires are built. This is how peace is established and maintain.

69
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: This is how you end wars. This is how humanity

70
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: sees great improvement in transportation, literature, cuisine, fashion, commerce, health, science, astronomy.

71
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: This right here, Joe Biden was incapable of doing. He

72
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: was not only not capable of doing it. It was

73
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: not desired for the people who were running the country,

74
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: because we know that wasn't Joe Biden. For this to happen.

75
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: You always have to remember you don't have street crime

76
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: of prostitution and drug selling in the neighborhood for no

77
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: good reason. It's there because somebody is making a living

78
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: at it. Somebody might even be getting rich off of it.

79
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: You don't have fentanyl deaths on accident. You don't have

80
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: fentanyl in the possession of children on accident there's money

81
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: to be made. You don't have sex trafficking because that's

82
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: the state of nature. Someone had to create that. Once

83
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: you begin to understand that some people are profiting by

84
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine, and some of those people are Americans,

85
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: some of those people are calling for more money, or

86
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: having the people they control call for more money so

87
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: that Ukraine can protect themselves against that big bully of Russia.

88
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: But as Vladimir Zelensky has said, he's not getting most

89
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: of the money we supposedly send to him, and no

90
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: one is answering the question who is, because somebody is.

91
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: It's not falling out on the way to the bank.

92
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: It's not being held with a fishing line outside the

93
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: stadium and as somebody reaches down to grab it, they

94
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: pull it back and make a TikTok video out of it.

95
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: It's being stolen by the people who are controlled the

96
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: war and confiscating this wealth for themselves. What President Trump

97
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: did today is pure. It's we're not there yet, but

98
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:20,559
Speaker 1: it is pure beautiful statesmanship. This is the Michael Berry Show.

99
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: The themes we've been discussing of late is the absolute

100
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: collapse of the Democrats. CNN did a poll that in

101
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: CNN's existence Democrats, the Democrat brand has never been at

102
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: a lower mark. People get it. This is bad. NBC

103
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: did a poll the Democrat brand hadn't been this bad

104
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: for thirty years. We're talking about the Democrat brand is

105
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: worse than when America knew for certain that Bill Clinton

106
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: lied when he said I did not have sex with

107
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: that woman. He did. He was bonking the turn in

108
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: the White House. Well maybe not bonking, but he was

109
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: putting his stick where he shouldn't and then smoking it later.

110
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was all bad. It was

111
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: all bad, and that was bad for the Democrat brand.

112
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: It's worse today, and I got to tell you I

113
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: love it. I want it to continue. I do not

114
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: want the voices of reasonableness to emerge. I want the

115
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: crazy ones, the Jasmine Crockett, the AOC, the ilhan Omar,

116
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: the Sister Bride, the Ayana Presley's I'm here for it.

117
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: I want their craziest people to stay on the microphone.

118
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: I want the grown man with a beard and purple

119
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: wig and fake boobs in his tutu to be demanding

120
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: that these crazy Republicans be replaced. I mean, I want

121
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: more of it, because that's how we win. So here

122
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: is Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy on Meet the Press when

123
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: he was asked why Democrats are polling so poorly.

124
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 4: Our new NBC News poll, as you just saw, shows

125
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party at an all time low approval rating.

126
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 4: Why do you think Democrats are failing to connect with

127
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 4: Americans that this critical moment of urgency would you describe, Well,

128
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 4: it's what I just talked about.

129
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I think Americans want the Democratic Party to

130
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 5: stand up and fight and to take risks. Listen, I

131
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 5: understand that had we gone into a shutdown, even for

132
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 5: a handful of days, it would have been difficult, but

133
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 5: it would have sent a message that the Democratic Party

134
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 5: is not going to be bullied by Donald Trump.

135
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: We are not going to.

136
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 5: Let them write spending bills unilaterally that cut programs for

137
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 5: people we care about, that give the president new and

138
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 5: extraordinary power.

139
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: I think Democrats in.

140
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 5: This country, but I think the broad middle of the

141
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 5: public as well, want to see our party fighting in

142
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 5: exceptional ways. That is the conversation that has to happen

143
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 5: inside of the Democratic Party, inside our caucus.

144
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: And if we don't get that right, if we.

145
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 5: Continue to work with Republicans, if we continue to hand

146
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,359
Speaker 5: Donald Trump more power, we are going to lose our democracy.

147
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: When we're back to losing the democracy again, I forget

148
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: these silly little phrases they use. Well, that's not the

149
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: reason you're pulling so poorly. But let's keep going. Chris

150
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,119
Speaker 1: Matthews was driven out of MSNBC for sexual harassment and drunkenness.

151
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that he stopped harassing women nor being

152
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: drunk because he always sounds slow, slowly. He always sounds

153
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: like a slightly less flamboyant Barney Frank to me, I

154
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: just keep thinking at one point, he's just gonna rip

155
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: one like Barney Frank did on television. Fairness Fairness to

156
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: Barney Frank, he probably didn't know he farted, may not

157
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: have any sphincter control. But here's Chris Matthews. He's been

158
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: brought back. Things are so bad for the Democrats they've

159
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: had to overlook his sexual harassment and bring him back.

160
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is really good. Why are

161
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: Democrats so poorly? Are you ready for this?

162
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: Give this a listen, Chris Matthews, what do you make

163
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: of these numbers for the Democrats?

164
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 6: Well, you could have seen them the night did Trump

165
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 6: address the Congress, and you watched the Democratic Party. They

166
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 6: seemed like they weren't there. They were sort of vacant.

167
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 6: They weren't saying anything with their manner. They never questioned

168
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 6: the facts. They let the President lie about social Security

169
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 6: and say that we're giving benefits to people who are

170
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 6: one hundred and sixty years older to their grandchildren. We

171
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 6: allowed Elon Musk to go on television and tell everybody

172
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 6: that we're using social Security as a lure to bring

173
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 6: people into the country illegally. They were giving them benefits

174
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 6: which were not we're giving them to illegal people in

175
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 6: the country who come in illegally, we give it to them.

176
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 6: Lie after life to life and said nothing. I'll tell

177
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 6: you Carvell, James Carver who said the Democrats should stay

178
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 6: solid maybe partially right, but where he's wrong is you

179
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 6: have to have a fact checker. There needs to be

180
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 6: a war room. Remember in nineteen ninety two, remember how

181
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 6: Bill Clinton won that a licure because he had a

182
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 6: war room he enjoyed Stephen office were down there in

183
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 6: Little Rock and they were checking every fact.

184
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: And nobody checks the facts anymore, and.

185
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 6: The lies are getting through to the American people.

186
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: It's an interesting reference. Nineteen ninety two, Bill Clinton won,

187
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: and Bill Clinton won, according to Chris Matthews, because he

188
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: did fact checking. Fact Checking is such an interesting word.

189
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: It's a euphemism because what really happened was that Bill

190
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: Clinton's mistresses started coming forward, and so Hillary assembled a

191
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: hit team headed by her and D D. Myers. D D.

192
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: Myers would later refer to it as having to squelch

193
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: to silence the as she called them, bimbo eruptions.

194
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 7: D D.

195
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: Myers was the woman whose job it was to destroy

196
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: the women who came forward and said that they had

197
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: had sex not one time, but for years with Bill Clinton.

198
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: He had side girlfriends for years at a time. So

199
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: the job was Bydidie Myers and Hillary Clinton at Hillary's direction,

200
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: not to fact check. It was to destroy, to humiliate,

201
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: to demean, to cancel. So understand that when Chris Myers

202
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: Chris Matthews says we've got to get back to facts checking,

203
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: what he means by that is, we've got to get

204
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: our members in the media, our Democrat media, to start

205
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: saying everything Trump says is a lie and to start

206
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: attacking Trump constantly inciting violence against Elon and the President.

207
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: They already got the man shot in the head once

208
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: and there have been multiple attempts on his life. Did

209
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: you ever notice there was never an attempt on Joe

210
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: Biden's life. I wonder why that is. It's almost as

211
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: if it all comes from one side, it's almost as

212
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: if it's being called for, it's being asked for, it's

213
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: being ordered, it's being directed and coordinated. Because it is.

214
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: Let me close with this point the reason Democrats are losing.

215
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: Here's an example. Judge Susan Crawford. She's a Soorrows back

216
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: candidate for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court. She was asked

217
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: about the endorsement of Sorrows and she can't answer the question.

218
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: Listen to you.

219
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 4: You know I have had generous contributions that have gone

220
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 4: to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

221
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 8: The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has endorsed me and supported

222
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 8: my candidacy.

223
00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: But let's talk about Elon Musk. Michael Very Show yesterday

224
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: we spoke at length about tariffs and what they are,

225
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: how they were, how the rest of the country applies

226
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: them to us to prevent our products from getting into

227
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: their country, hurting our manufacturing while we bring their products

228
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: into ours. The United States is or has been self

229
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: sufficient for much of its history. We make everything here,

230
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: so we could close our marketplace to the rest of

231
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: the world and by only American products, now, that would

232
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: create an inflationary effect. There's no doubt cost more to

233
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: make products here than it does the rest of the world,

234
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: because we require that you pay more, that we have lawsuits.

235
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: There are a lot of reasons it would cost more.

236
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: It would cost you, the consumer more, but it would

237
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: necessarily increase American business. There's no doubt about that. Now. Now,

238
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: if we did that, a lot of tries cannot sustain

239
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: their needs without America's output. But they punish us, They

240
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: punish our companies and reduce our profitability in their country

241
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: by imposing these tariffs. So all Trump is saying is

242
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: reciprocal terifts. That what you do to us, We're going

243
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: to do to you. Why is that unfair? Well, of

244
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: course it's not. Marco Rubio, I played you a lot

245
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: of this interview yesterday. Secretary of State was on NBC's

246
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: Meet the Pressed with Christian Welker this past weekend, and

247
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: he makes a very interesting point the situation today. The

248
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: rest of the world loves it, Trump doesn't love it.

249
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: Most Americans didn't know to be angry, didn't know what

250
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the world was doing to us. But

251
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: now Trump is fighting for people, some of whom are recognizing.

252
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: Wait a second, why are we getting pushed around?

253
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: I get it.

254
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 9: I understand why these countries don't like it, because the

255
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 9: status quo of trade is good for them, it benefits them.

256
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 9: They like the status quo. We don't like the status quo.

257
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 9: We are going to set a new status quo and

258
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 9: then we can negotiate something if they want to that

259
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 9: is fair for both sides. But what we have now

260
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 9: cannot continue. We have to deindustrialize this country, de industrialize

261
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 9: the United States of America. There are things we can

262
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 9: no longer make, and we have to be able to

263
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 9: make in order to be safe as a country, in

264
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 9: order to have jobs.

265
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: That's why we had a roust belt.

266
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 9: That's why we've suffered all these important jobs that one

267
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 9: sustained entire communities wiped out by trade.

268
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: That basically sent these factories, these.

269
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 9: Jobs, this industrial capability to other places that cannot and

270
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 9: will not continue.

271
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: I don't in President Trump. This is no mystery.

272
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 9: He's been talking about this since the nineteen eighties, actually even.

273
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: Before he was a political figure.

274
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 9: This is going to happen, and it's going to happen now.

275
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: Secretary of Treasury Scott Vessant also on MSNBC's Meet Depressed

276
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: with Christen Welker.

277
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 4: Ask you about something that you actually said last week,

278
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 4: and we'll discuss it on the other side.

279
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 7: Take a look, access to chief goods is not the asset,

280
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 7: is not the essence of the American dream. The American

281
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 7: dream is rooted in the concept that any citizen can

282
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 7: achieve prosperity, upper mobility, and economic security.

283
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 4: So, Secretary, are you there essentially saying that the Trump

284
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: administration is comfortable to have consumers pay more for goods

285
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 4: than America.

286
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: Not at all, Christen.

287
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 10: What I'm saying is the American dream is not let

288
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 10: any flat screens that the Americans. If American families aren't

289
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 10: able to afford a home, don't believe that their children

290
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 10: will do better than they are. The American dream is

291
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 10: not contingent on cheap babbles from China. That it is

292
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 10: more than that, and we are focused on affordability. But

293
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 10: it's mortgages, it's cars, it's real wage cannings.

294
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you there is going to

295
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: be some inflation. But this is not inflation because we're

296
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: pumping too much money into the economy. This is inflation

297
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: related to an increasing cost of goods coming from outside

298
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: the United States. This is a re building year. This

299
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: is a short term pain for a long term gain,

300
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: and no one wants to admit that. But if you

301
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: want to lose weight, I guess you go take a

302
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: shot now. But if you want to lose weight, you're

303
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to work out. If you want to be okay,

304
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: if you want to build muscle, you're gonna have to

305
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: work out. And in the short term that lactic acid

306
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: is going to cause your muscles to ache. But in

307
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: the long term, you're going to build muscle, which is

308
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: good for you. You're going to do something that's good

309
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: for you in the long term. That's not what we

310
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: were experiencing under the Democrat regime. So here's Scott Bessent

311
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: talking to Kristen Welkoer in that same interview about Chinese

312
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: manufacturers having to suffer the way ours.

313
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 10: Have because I believe, especially with the China terriffs, that

314
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 10: Chinese manufacturers they will eat, that will eat the price

315
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 10: or eat the terrorists. I believe that the currency adjust

316
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 10: and I believe if we look there.

317
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: During President Trump's first term, that all.

318
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 10: The other things we do, if we're deregulating, if we're

319
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 10: getting energy prices down, then if we look across the spectrum,

320
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 10: Americans will realize lower prices and better affordability.

321
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: Also, Secretary Secretary of the Treasury Scott Besson asked about

322
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: a dip in the stock market again on NBC's Meet

323
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: the Press with Christen Wilker.

324
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 10: One week does not the market make, as Warren Buffett says,

325
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 10: O where the short term the market is a voting machine,

326
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 10: or the long term it's a weighing machine. And again, Christen,

327
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 10: it would have been very easy for us to come

328
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 10: in run these reckless policies that have been happening before.

329
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 10: We've got these large government deficits six point seven percent

330
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 10: of GDP. We've never seen this when we're not in wartime,

331
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 10: not in more session. We are bringing those down in

332
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 10: a responsible way. We are going to have a transition

333
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 10: and we are not going to have a crisis.

334
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: So look, you don't make massive changes without some short

335
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: term pain. I mean, even change itself is painful and stressful.

336
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: Here is Scott Bessen. I think he has had to

337
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: learn a lot talking about the term fake news, and

338
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: he thought that was kind of a dumb.

339
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 7: Term, but now he doesn't. When I was on the

340
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 7: other side of the Wall. I never really liked the

341
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 7: term fake news. Now that I am on the inside

342
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 7: and I can see what they're reporting, I think the

343
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 7: term fake news probably isn't strong enough. It's really not

344
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 7: that they start with an a priori. They've written the

345
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 7: story and then they just kind of shapeshift facts to

346
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 7: back into it. Because many of the stories that I've

347
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 7: been involved with are just so far off, so far all.

348
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 7: There's a story in the New York Times the other

349
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 7: day they talked about fifty percent head count decreases at

350
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 7: the IRS. Nobody's talking about that. These were on background,

351
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 7: these were not named sources, and they're just trying to

352
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 7: start cult mold during taxpayer filing season. I mean, it's crazy,

353
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 7: you know.

354
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: It's one of those things. It's interesting, you don't people

355
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: that don't want to believe that illegal immigration is a problem,

356
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: people that have argued with me, you know, legal immigration

357
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: is not a problem. Then they become a victim of

358
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: crime by an illegal alien, and I'm the one they

359
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: want to call about. You were right, you were so

360
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: it's not until you personally were affected that you saw

361
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: it as a problem. There's the problem in America. You

362
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: had to be personally affected. It wasn't enough that everybody

363
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: but you was affected. It wasn't until it hit you

364
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: that you were willing to come off your high horse.

365
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: That's the problem. That right you the problem. You needed

366
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: your ox gord until you and until then you were

367
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: going to say no, no, no. All these murders and

368
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: rapists and traffickers coming in here, there's no problem with it. Guitars, cigars,

369
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: and a few thoughts. On Sunday, the President Trump, I'm

370
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: leieve it with Sunday, was on full measure with Cheryl Atkinson.

371
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: We played you some of that audio yesterday. But she

372
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: asked about the release of the Kennedy files, the MLK

373
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: Junior files, the Epstein files, and there is a howling

374
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: cry for these damned files to be released. And I

375
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: do believe President Trump is going to release them. I

376
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: don't know that he's going to release them as soon

377
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: as everyone wants him to. And we'll talk about that

378
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: in a moment, but let me not speak for him.

379
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: Here's what he said.

380
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 8: A lot of intrigues surrounding the release of the Epstein files,

381
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 8: Martin Luther King files, John F. Kennedy files, some current

382
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 8: and former FBI agents are saying, some of them telling

383
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 8: me that they feel the FBI establishment came out ahead

384
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 8: in the standoffs sort of with the New York FBI

385
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 8: office over releasing the records and your Attorney General Pam

386
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 8: Bondi demanding them and not getting all that she wanted.

387
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 8: Is that process still on track? I think that's one

388
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 8: of the most often questions. I've been asked the last

389
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 8: couple of days to release these records on Epstein, MLK,

390
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 8: and JK.

391
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 11: Well, Pam Bondi has done a phenomenal job in every respect,

392
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 11: and there could have been some holback. I haven't heard

393
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 11: too much about it, but they could. But the bottom

394
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 11: line is the records are getting out. The Kennedy records

395
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 11: are getting out. Those are the ones that really wanted

396
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 11: to see the most with the Kennedys, and during my administration,

397
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 11: as you know, I released a lot of them. But

398
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 11: then a lot of people started coming in, people that

399
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 11: I respected, people that work for the administration, asked me

400
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 11: not to release the rest, and.

401
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: I respected that.

402
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 11: They gave me certain reasons, but I respected that and

403
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 11: I did say, I must tell you, I said that

404
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 11: probably wish I did release the whole.

405
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: Thing, because I have no idea what's in there.

406
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 11: But since then they found and we found two thousand

407
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 11: more documents when Kennedy, and the one they want most

408
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 11: is Kennedy, and it's going to be released. It's moving along,

409
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 11: and it's moving along pretty rapidly.

410
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 2: It doesn't we go that week or longer.

411
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: I say weeks, Yeah, I say weeks. So I think

412
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: President Trump, with all his heart, wants these things released

413
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: for two reasons. He said he would make it happen,

414
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: and I do believe he cares about that. I think

415
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: that really matters to him. But I also think it's

416
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: part of a bigger plan with him to show you.

417
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: I think I'm certain that Donald Trump knows things that

418
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: he doesn't even want to tell you, because it would

419
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: frighten you so much that many people wouldn't be able

420
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: to handle it. He has to moderate what he reveals.

421
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: It's that bad, you know. It's one of these great dilemmas.

422
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: And it's an interesting point of conversation to discuss cases

423
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: that I've known of where somebody has a terminal cancer

424
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: and they don't tell anyone. Norm MacDonald, for instance, who

425
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: was not a friend of mine. I wish he was.

426
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: I love Norm MacDonald. I'm a super fan of Norm MacDonald,

427
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: and he didn't alert the world. In fact, almost nobody

428
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: knew that he had a terminal cancer, such that when

429
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: he passed, even close friends of his believed, oh, it

430
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: must have been a heart attack, or it must have

431
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: been something that happened you know quickly. No. No, he

432
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: had been suffering with a terminal cancer for quite some time,

433
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: and his lady friend he was under strict instruction not

434
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: to tell us all. He didn't. He didn't want it

435
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: to affect people's opinion of him and didn't want to

436
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: have to deal with that. I think President Trump wants

437
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: these things out there, and I think he's committed to

438
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: getting them out there. But I also think, well, you

439
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: only get to review these things one time. So Trump

440
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 1: is the kind of guy that if he's got something

441
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: on you, he's going to use that to get you

442
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: to vote with him.

443
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 3: Now.

444
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: I don't know this part for sure, but did you

445
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: notice how quickly an effort, effortlessly the Continuing Resolution was

446
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: passed last week. The Republicans didn't kick up any dust.

447
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: Everybody just dutifully went along. Now he's sitting on better

448
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: approval ratings than usual This is quite quite surprising. And

449
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: then Chuck Schumer did not put up any resistance, And

450
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: isn't that interesting?

451
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 2: Hmm?

452
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: Why do you think that is? Because he wants good government?

453
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: Because Trump deserves, not even two months in to have

454
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: until September a funding bill through September and then we

455
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: can battle it out. But let him get his feet

456
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: under him. Let's not disrupt everything. No, that's not how

457
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer thinks, not even a little bit. Chuck Schumer

458
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: does not. Those are thoughts he does not entertain, not

459
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: even a little bit, I think, And as we've discussed,

460
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: I think that's because Chuck Schumer. Maybe he's got the

461
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: goods on Chuck Schumer. Maybe, but Chuck Schumer has taken

462
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: a lot of heat from the liberal of his party

463
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: over his unwillingness to battle it out with Trump and filibuster,

464
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: and his unwillingness to drag this out and cause Trump

465
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of problems, which he could have done, including

466
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: to the point of potentially shutting down the government. They

467
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: didn't mount a real campaign. Now, now, Jasmine Crockett and AOC,

468
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: those geniuses, they're not criticizing Trump, They're criticizing Chuck Schumer. Well,

469
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer has four years before he's up. This will

470
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: be forgotten. It's a six year term. He's not terribly

471
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: worried today. But you are worried, as we've discussed, when

472
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: you have infighting in the Democrat Party, because you've got

473
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: the left firing at what is for them the middle,

474
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: not the American middle, but it's the middle of the

475
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: Democrat Party. The middle of the Democrat Party is way

476
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: to the left of American society. But even within the

477
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: party there is a spectrum. And Schumer is less about

478
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: ideology than about the raw exercise of power and patronage.

479
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: For Schumer to allow himself to put himself in a

480
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: situation where he can get beat up by the left

481
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: tells you that there is some reason. And I think

482
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: there are plenty of Republicans on that list as well,

483
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: and I think it has something. Once you reveal that list,

484
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: and I want to see as bad as you do,

485
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: you can't hold it over their head in him the

486
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: theory that has been proffered, and I think there is

487
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: a good chance that there is something to that fear.

488
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: I think there is a very good chance that there

489
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: is something to that Feary it's an interesting Trump's holding

490
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: all the cards. I'll tell you that he's holding all

491
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: the cards, the willingness to go in, shatter the glass

492
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: and pull the files out, and show to the world

493
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: that willingness to open his own kimono, because if they

494
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: catch anything on him, you know they're gonna remember when

495
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: they told us that Trump was on that list, did

496
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: not say it anymore. He noticed that
