1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Now the rise of the AfD. In fact, you spent

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: time in Germany. You even attended at least one of

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: their rallies. You did a deep dive that's on the

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Atlantic side now a must read. Tell us a little

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: bit about what you learned there and the parties new

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: and growing role in that country.

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: And the main thing I learned was that the AfD

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 2: was aiming its fire at the CDU, at the center right.

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: I mean that the AfD was saying that the center right,

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: which just won this election, has to be destroyed, totally dismantled.

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: That they invoked Trump, they invoked Elon Musk, and they

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: said they led the way that they destroyed the GOP

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: as it existed before, and we're going to do the

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: same thing to the CDU.

15
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 3: Now.

16
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: The CDU having won it looks like a victory for them,

17
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: but the AfD also measures their victories in different ways too.

18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: So getting one in five German voters for them was

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: a huge victory because it meant that they couldn't be

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: ignored in the future. So what they might be shut

21
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: out of government, They're very likely to be shut out

22
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: of government. But what they were afraid of was that

23
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: they would have a showing that would before enough that

24
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: they could actually be the banned as a party, be

25
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: investigated by law enforcement. And what they've got is a

26
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: showing that makes it impossible for them to be completely

27
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: ignored politically.

28
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 4: This Apple announcement this morning, which just pops six am Eastern,

29
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 4: all the details are up the Weed story on Axios.

30
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: This is a landmark story for a couple of reasons.

31
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 4: One the effort by the President to bring manufacturing back

32
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 4: to the US. This is a massive commitment to that,

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 4: and as we say in our story, this gives Trump

34
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 4: the leverage to say to other companies, Apple can do this.

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 4: Apple is bringing these jobs into the US. Apple is

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 4: investing in the US. Why can't you? Why won't you?

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: And the statement out this morning from Apple CEO Tim

38
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 4: Cook talking about being bullish on the future of America,

39
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 4: talking about writing an extraordinary new chapter in the history

40
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: of American So that's one bucket Two. There's an incredible

41
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 4: footprint for this. This is all across the United States,

42
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: and it's part of the big story that Access has

43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 4: been telling that it's no longer just the coast. Look

44
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: at where some of these big investments are. The Swing States,

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 4: of Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Nevada, Red States, the

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 4: massive investment that you were talking about in Texas, a

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 4: big innovation lab in Michigan, So a footprint all across

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: the country. And third, if you look at how the

49
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: US is going to have a sustained recovery, it's going

50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 4: to be about building things, making things, doing that more

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: in the US.

52
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: This is a big step toward that.

53
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 5: Can you walk us through the negotiations that you are

54
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 5: having right now to tap into not just these rare

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 5: earth minerals but also oil in Ukraate?

56
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: What can you tell us where.

57
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 5: Does the deal stand?

58
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 6: So, Maria, as you said earlier, I traveled to Kiev

59
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 6: about ten days ago and met with President Zelensky. And

60
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 6: this deal is part of President Trump's long arc negotiating

61
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 6: strategy for peace between Ukraine and Russia and let the

62
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 6: Ukrainians get back to a peaceful existence. So the first

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 6: part of this is a partnership between Ukraine and the

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 6: US that involves strategic minerals, energy and state owned enterprises.

65
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 6: Where we set up a partnership and we are only

66
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 6: looking forward. It is a win win, President Trump. They

67
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 6: created this idea himself. It is a win win. We

68
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 6: make money if the Ukrainian people make money, and I

69
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 6: believe that with the United States of America, our know

70
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 6: how our business is willing to come in and provide

71
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 6: capital that we can accelerate the Ukrainian growth trajectory and

72
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 6: take in substantial moneys for the US taxpayers and get

73
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 6: the Ukrainian economy on a growth, great growth trajectory.

74
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: You know, how do you foresee the role they'll play

75
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: going for now with this new government at place in Germany.

76
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 2: So I think we can look at some of the

77
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: states where they've been very popular. So I was in

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: the state of Turingdia, one of the places where they've

79
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 2: been most popular in the past, and in fact in

80
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: state parliament they won a plurality of votes there, but

81
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: they were not in government because all the other parties

82
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 2: joined a coalition against them and made them just shut

83
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: them out.

84
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 7: So what was the effect of that.

85
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: Supporters of the AfD were angrier than ever. Their view

86
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: was even when we win, we lose.

87
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 7: So now that they haven't.

88
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: Got enough of a share of the federal parliament to

89
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: actually be in government, to be most likely in government,

90
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: any coalition they're still going to feel like they've been

91
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: shut out. So I feel like this is sort of

92
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: a reckoning postponed with the AfD and the rise of

93
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: the far right in Germany, because their supporters are going

94
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: to look at their fairly strong showing, a stronger showing

95
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: than ever before, and see that they're still being shut out,

96
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: and that's going to make the mad. And whenever the

97
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: next reckoning comes, the real reckoning.

98
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 7: It's going to be pretty severe.

99
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: This is the.

100
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 7: Primal screen of a dying Lugie.

101
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 8: Pray for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on

102
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 8: these people.

103
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 7: There's not got a free shot.

104
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: All these networks lying about the people, the people have

105
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: had a belly full of it.

106
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 7: I know you don't like hearing that.

107
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 9: I know you tried to do everything in.

108
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 3: The world to stop that, but you're not going to

109
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: stop that.

110
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 7: It's going to happen.

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 10: And where do people like that go to share the

112
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 10: big line?

113
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: Mega media?

114
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 11: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of

115
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 11: these people had a conscience.

116
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 8: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose.

117
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: If that answer is to save my country, this country.

118
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 7: Will be saved.

119
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: Or here's your host Stephen K.

120
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 8: Bath It's Monday, twenty four February year warlerd twenty twenty five.

121
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 8: Once again, there are decades in which nothing happens, and

122
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 8: there are weeks and months.

123
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 7: In which decades happened.

124
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 8: And President Trump continuing on in the days of thunder,

125
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 8: years of lightning.

126
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 7: Pretty extraordinary something. But I think every it's not that

127
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 7: we missed.

128
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 8: We didn't have time to cover it on Saturday Morning

129
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 8: show at Seapac. We had somebody the posse there and

130
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 8: I want to thank everybody that assisted this in putting

131
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 8: on obviously Real American Voice the Blowway success of the

132
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 8: Force Multiplier Academy on Wednesday, we had a massive turnout,

133
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 8: I don't know, five six hundred people. Pretty extraordinary in

134
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 8: the team, Grace, Moe, Jane, everybody. Natalie did such an

135
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 8: amazing job, and Jack Bisova got very pitching in and

136
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 8: of course Harry and the team at Real Market Voice.

137
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 7: It was so successful, we're going to be making some announcements.

138
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 8: We're going to be rolling that out and taking it

139
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 8: on the road throughout the country because there's a huge

140
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 8: demand for it, and I think now we can we

141
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 8: are kind of clicking on how it's actually presented, and

142
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 8: every time we give new and better information, and people

143
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 8: are want to be on the ramparts and they want

144
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 8: to be completely weaponized in this fight, and so we're

145
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 8: here to do it at the war room. So much

146
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 8: big news, the one, the eclipse, and I'm in there,

147
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 8: Dan Bongino, friend and colleague. Dan met Dan years ago

148
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 8: Andrew Breitbard over the decade ago. Dan ran for Congress

149
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 8: out in western Maryland, then he ran for the Senate Maryland,

150
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 8: then he ran for Congress down in.

151
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 7: Florida.

152
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 8: He got into broadcasting, enormously successful. A great guy and

153
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 8: a law enforcement guy. Dan Bongino is the deputy to

154
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 8: Cash MATEL at the FBI. Let me repeat that running

155
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 8: the FBI is cash for town, Dan Bongino. There are

156
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 8: going to be some significant changes to the FBI, and

157
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 8: I think Dan is the perfect guy to help initiate

158
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 8: some of these investigations we talked about on j.

159
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 7: Six and other things. He would be fantastic.

160
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 8: So so much news there and so much news internally. Also,

161
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 8: Elon sent out this email on Saturday night about people

162
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 8: having to respond, and of course Cash Pete, hegser Defense,

163
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 8: Tulsi A D and I I think Radcliffe over at

164
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 8: the CIA and Senator Marc or Rubio, Secretary State, came

165
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 8: back and said, hey, we'll take care of this.

166
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 7: Ourselves.

167
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 8: Appreciate the effort, but are people not gonna be sending

168
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 8: you or your junior guys a you know five things

169
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 8: they did last week.

170
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 7: We'll handle this.

171
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 8: So I think you're seeing the doge thing, and you know,

172
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 8: the House is putting up this kind of reconciliation budget.

173
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 8: It's got a lot of issues, a ton of issues

174
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 8: like where's the beef, where are the cuts? And the

175
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 8: doge Right now, there's a bunch of articles about are

176
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 8: the cut really there?

177
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 7: Here's what we need.

178
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 8: We need Elon to be more and more and more

179
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 8: focused on the waste, fraud and abuse. And we need

180
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 8: somebody to start talking about programmatically. And here's why this

181
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 8: gets back to this. You saw Scott Besson, our own

182
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 8: Scott Besson there talking about the Ukraine deal. If you

183
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 8: add all this, what's happened in the last seventy two

184
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 8: hours about investments, President Trump signs this America First Investment

185
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 8: Policy Executive Order on Friday. It is the most it

186
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 8: is the clearest, I think example, and there's some interpretation there.

187
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 7: We got to firm up.

188
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 8: But it's the clearest example of the decoupling of the

189
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 8: US from the CCP. Remember an Unrestricted Warfare, one of

190
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 8: my favorite books written by the two Chinese then colonels

191
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 8: became generals later. Part of the unrestricted warfare is economic warfare,

192
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 8: and they've been in economic war with US for many,

193
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 8: many decades, that economic war underwritten by Wall Street and

194
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 8: exacerbated by Silicon Valley and the tech transfer that's gone on.

195
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 7: Willingly, you're seeing that pulled back.

196
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 12: Now.

197
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 8: You've got to look at this signing of this document.

198
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 8: Gaffney'll be here to break it down for us. That

199
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 8: really restricts investments into into China, into the Chinese and

200
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 8: particularly anything associated with the Chinese Companies Party. It's kind

201
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 8: of the reverse of what they did to Pompeo Pottinger,

202
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 8: Navarn myself when they fully sanctioned us and said, you know,

203
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 8: you can't be associated with any CCP company or any

204
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 8: Chinese company, can't be.

205
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 7: You can't go to China be associated.

206
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 8: It's fine if that's what it takes to help free

207
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 8: the La Baijing. But President Trump dropped the hammer on

208
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 8: this investment and This is the clear terist indication. And

209
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 8: there's a lot of backchannel about chat about what's going on,

210
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 8: the dealers are being cut and who's doing well with

211
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 8: President Trump on China, but this was at least a

212
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 8: very clear kind of directional that we're going to decouple

213
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 8: on top of that Apple with this five front a

214
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 8: billion dollar investment, twenty thousand jobs. And as Mike Allen

215
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 8: and Axi has just said walked you through, it's.

216
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 7: Not on the coast.

217
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 8: This is not centered on California or any of the

218
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 8: tech centers like in Boston Route one twenty eight.

219
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 7: This is this is very much.

220
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 8: In the heartland of the country, what Apple's doing to

221
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 8: bring manufacturing back, to bring innovation back. This is the

222
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 8: issue I've got with the Ukraine, Ukraine E C. Scott

223
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 8: and President I. Strategically, you see what President Trump's trying

224
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 8: to do. I just think it's getting us more and

225
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 8: more and more into this Ukraine situation. Ukraine situation is

226
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 8: something that is to me should be totally Europe and

227
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 8: we're gonna be pretty adamant about that. We have Brian

228
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 8: Glint at the White House. Ben Harni was with us

229
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 8: in Rome. Frank Gaftey's going to join us a moment.

230
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 8: A lot to go through. Let's go to Brian Glenn, Brian,

231
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 8: pretty extraordinary. McCrone actually showed up early so he could

232
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 8: go to the situation room and do a call with

233
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 8: G seven countries. So mcrone, the President of France, actually

234
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 8: came early to the White House. No ceremony, no official greeting,

235
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 8: no actually greeting at all, just showed up and went

236
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 8: to the situation room. Did a call or I guess

237
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 8: the schedule said the Oval office did a call on

238
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 8: the G seven. Now correct me if I'm wrong. He's

239
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 8: left and he's coming back to the White House later

240
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 8: for it's not a state visit, but a working visit

241
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 8: to be greeted shortly afternoon and to actually sit with

242
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 8: President Trump the rest of the rest of the bulk

243
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 8: of the day.

244
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 11: Correct, Yeah, good morning, Steve. That is absolutely correct. And

245
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 11: also let episode real quick and I'll show you kind

246
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 11: of what's going on right now. He is still in

247
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 11: the West Wing. He has not left yet. You see

248
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 11: the motor cad is pulled up front. That first car,

249
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 11: that's the vehicle he will get in. And of course

250
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 11: there's a press vehicle next to it, that longer van.

251
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 11: But you're right, he got here shortly before eight o'clock,

252
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 11: had the phone call, the G seven phone call. He

253
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 11: is now waiting to go back to their residence here

254
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 11: just outside the White House. And as you said, Steve

255
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 11: is coming back at around just twelve thirty five, I

256
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 11: think is tentatively when they have it scheduled where he's

257
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 11: going to have this kind of a bilateral meeting, if

258
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 11: you will, in the Oval Office. We'll be on the

259
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 11: ground there as well, Steve. Then of course at two o'clock. Yeah,

260
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 11: at two o'clock there is a press conference with Trump

261
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 11: and Macron and all of us. Won't bring it to

262
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 11: you live as it happens.

263
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 7: Brian, hangover a second. Pretty unusual.

264
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 8: So the president of France came early with the President

265
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 8: to a call G seven call, obviously very secured, very

266
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 8: secure call.

267
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 7: He's still there.

268
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 8: He's scheduled to leave and then come back at about

269
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 8: twelve fifteen I think it is. Ben then be greeted

270
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 8: by the President over as the one we've been showing

271
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 8: the West wing access that less formal.

272
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 7: Entry point.

273
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 8: He'll be with the President. They'll probably Brian, get you

274
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 8: guys in the Oval Office for some sort of press availed.

275
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 7: Then at two o'clock I think it's in the East room.

276
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 8: They're going to have a one of the form those

277
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 8: press conferences that President Trump does so well. Very active

278
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 8: day at the White House, talking about Ukraine war and

279
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 8: peace and prosperity, all of it. And President Trump's on

280
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 8: a roll making deals, the master deal maker making deals.

281
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 8: Short commercial break Brian Glant the White House, Ben Harnwell,

282
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 8: and Rome Frank Gaft.

283
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 7: He's going to join us. Will return with.

284
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 8: Dan Bongino, the deputy FBI director this morning.

285
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 4: Which just pops six am Eastern. All the details are

286
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: up the Weed story on Axios. This is a landmark

287
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 4: story for a couple of reasons. One the effort by

288
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 4: the President to bring manufacturing.

289
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: Back to the US.

290
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 4: This is a massive commitment to that, and as we

291
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 4: say in our story, this gives Trump the leverage to

292
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 4: say to other companies, Apple can do this.

293
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 3: Apple is bringing.

294
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 4: These jobs into the US, Apple is investing in the US.

295
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 4: Why can't you, Why won't you? And the statement out

296
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: this morning from Apple CEO Tim Cook talking about being

297
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 4: bullish on the future of America, talking about writing an

298
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 4: extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation.

299
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: So that's one bucket. Two, there's an incredible footprint for this.

300
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 4: This is all across the United States, and it's part

301
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 4: of the big story that Acxios has been telling that

302
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 4: it's no longer just the coast. Look at where some

303
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: of these big investments are, the swing states of Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania,

304
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 4: North Carolina, Nevada, Red States, the massive investment that you

305
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 4: were talking about in Texas, a big innovation lab in Michigan.

306
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: So a footprint all across the country.

307
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 4: And Third, if you look at how the US is

308
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 4: going to have a sustained recovery, it's going to be

309
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 4: about building things, making things, doing that more in the US.

310
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 3: This is a big step toward that.

311
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 8: Okay, Mike Allen over at Axios. Kind of blockbuster news

312
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 8: this morning. Also, there's been some so Apple five hundred

313
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 8: bion dollars twenty thousand jobs in the heartland country from

314
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 8: Arizona to all over, not just putting it into Silicon

315
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 8: Valley or the West Coast or Seattle. Profound big news. Now,

316
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 8: obviously it's in the details, but this is in Apple.

317
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 8: Tim Cook Cook or Tim Apple, as he's known to

318
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 8: the President, couldn't be more effusive in his support of

319
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 8: a new day in America and a new energy, the

320
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 8: unleashing of animal spirits. I think you couple that with

321
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 8: the America First Investment Initiative Executive Order that really went after, Hey,

322
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 8: we're decoupling from China. I mean I read this as

323
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 8: the beginning of really President Trump coming down on the

324
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 8: side of those of us who have been hardcore about decoupling.

325
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 8: And you add that to even his strategy and look,

326
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 8: I think that Ukraine's sunk costs that we just want

327
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 8: to move on. But you see the deal maker, right,

328
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 8: he's on a roll. Is also the White House putting

329
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 8: out today of all these investments. Look, I'm not a

330
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 8: fan of foreign capital coming into the country.

331
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 7: I'm just not.

332
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 8: But President Trump's looking at his barometer of people that

333
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 8: want to invest in the United States of America on

334
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 8: his watch, and on that, I think it's very positive.

335
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 8: Brian Glenn and Brian, we've had some you know, a

336
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 8: little choppy on some of the polling. Ipso's had a

337
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 8: poll out last week that we didn't get a chance

338
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 8: to get to it because we were at Seapack, but

339
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 8: it showed President Trump's approved already to disapprove fifty one

340
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 8: approval forty four. That's the first one I've seen like that.

341
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 8: James Carve Brian as you know, came out yesterday, not

342
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 8: that he's done a very good job of being a forecaster,

343
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 8: but he said in thirty days, President Trump's entire bottom

344
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 8: of his polling's going to fall out because of what.

345
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 7: Elon Musk is doing over Doge.

346
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 8: But this morning Harvard Harris, So the Harvard poll came

347
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 8: out and they're pretty blowaway numbers, Brian Glenn, can you

348
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 8: walk us through it, because it shows I think we

349
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 8: can say Brian Harvard is showing us that their pole

350
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 8: overwhelming support from President the direction of President Trump's actions

351
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 8: and the direction of the days of thunder.

352
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 11: Sir, Yeah, you're absolutely right if you take a look

353
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 11: at what the numbers even reflect with Let's start with

354
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 11: the deportation of illegal criminals or illegals that have come

355
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 11: in this country and even committed crime. You've got what

356
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 11: eighty one percent or for that, you go down down

357
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 11: the line of undertaking, you know, ultimate fraud and wasting government,

358
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 11: exactly what Elon Musk is doing seventy per six percent

359
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 11: of that. Now, if you even if it turned to

360
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 11: the some of the more you know, public policy type

361
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 11: of deal, the keeping men out of women's sports, that's

362
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 11: even what sixty what sixty five percent of that. So

363
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 11: overwhelmingly the people support this. So for Carville just kind

364
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 11: of spit off this nonsense that the bottom is going

365
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 11: to fall out in thirty days. I don't see it,

366
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 11: according to this polling, and we're looking at it right

367
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 11: now on your screen. Even going down to banning or

368
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 11: I should say, ending bands on offshore drilling in Alaska

369
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 11: and elsewhere, that might be something that's almost the tightest one.

370
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 11: That's still fifty seven percent Steve approve of that. So

371
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 11: this polling, I think is the most accurate we've seen

372
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 11: so far on what the American people feel about this.

373
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 11: And I shared this on the Morning show this morning.

374
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 11: I'll share a quick story for you. I met two

375
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 11: guys in the elevator going to work this morning that

376
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 11: were on their way to the office and they couldn't

377
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 11: wait to check that email because they're like, well, do

378
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 11: I have a job today? Am I going to have

379
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 11: to send in my top five things that I'm attempting

380
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 11: to do this week or today. But that's what the

381
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 11: American people voted on on OVERMA fifth. We want accountability

382
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 11: in our government, and of course, according to this Harvard Pole, Steve,

383
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 11: people want the same thing. The only people who don't

384
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 11: want it are the left, the government people that have

385
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 11: been riding I guess the gravy train for way too long.

386
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 11: But the polls reflect how the people feel.

387
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 8: And uh, it's pretty good right now, Steve, I think

388
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 8: I think you see direction.

389
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 7: Let me just go a couple of things through this.

390
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 8: So the IPSOS poll had President Trump upside down, fifty

391
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 8: one percent disapproved, forty four percent approved, And.

392
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 7: Like I said, we couldn't get to it.

393
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 8: I was going to talk about it today because a

394
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 8: sea pack. However, this came out and as a counter

395
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 8: and the Harvard Harris Pole is a poll that's very

396
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 8: highly thought of Trump approval fifty two percent disapproval, forty

397
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 8: three plus nine. Brian just hits the high points. Fifty

398
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 8: eight percent say he's doing better than Biden. Eighty one

399
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 8: percent support supporting criminal aliens, seventy six percent support eliminating

400
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 8: ways for UD abuse, seventy six support closing the US

401
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 8: border seventy percent support merit based hiring, sixty one percent

402
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 8: support reciprocal terriffs, and sixty percent think DOJE is helping.

403
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 7: Now, particularly when you.

404
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 8: Get to the seventy six is of the seventies and eighties,

405
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 8: that's essentially hardcore Democrats who are never going to agree

406
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 8: with anything with Trump at least twenty five percent. That

407
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 8: means unanimity, virtually unanimity among Republicans and independents. That's the

408
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 8: key to these numbers because it's very hard. As you know, people, Hey,

409
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 8: if you get fifty two forty eight an election, it's

410
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 8: a landslide, right because the country is so divided. So

411
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 8: if you get all the essentially all the independence right

412
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 8: now like what they see. And I think people that

413
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 8: are low information, you know, low information, they voted this time,

414
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 8: but they're not people that are going to watch the

415
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 8: War Room or come to Real America's voice. There's just

416
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 8: some people just not into politics or the types of

417
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 8: things we cover, even don't watch CNN. You see when

418
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 8: they are polled, they said, hey, I'm not following a

419
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 8: day to day but I like what I see and

420
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 8: what I like what I see is the energy of

421
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 8: President Trump and somebody that's in charge.

422
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 7: Brian.

423
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 8: This is this is essentially what Tim Cook is telling

424
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 8: us that it looks like leadership is now step back

425
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 8: into the White House.

426
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 7: Leadership is in this in this government.

427
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 8: And for Apple to make a half a treeion dollars

428
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 8: five hundred billion dollar investment here and not in the

429
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 8: in lower cost areas at least for labor is a

430
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 8: is a major, massive step Brian Glenn your thoughts.

431
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 11: You're absolutely right, Steve, and I'll expand it to one more.

432
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 11: The Small Business Optimism, the index that really tracks how

433
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 11: small business owners view the next twelve months.

434
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 7: That's even at all time high right now.

435
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 11: So the optimism from the consumer level to the business

436
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 11: level is good. And I'll continue this with the as

437
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 11: far as the polling goes, Steve, take a look at

438
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 11: what MSNBC did with getting Rid of Joy Reed. They

439
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 11: even know that they're on the wrong side of what

440
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 11: the American people right now are voting for and what

441
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 11: they're standing for. So they're even when you look at

442
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 11: the mainstream media, they're even having to reshuffle a little

443
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 11: bit of what's important to them as far as what

444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 11: they want to Obviously they're pushing an agenda, but the

445
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 11: American people aren't watching that, they're not voting for that.

446
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 11: And of course I love those poll numbers and it's

447
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 11: nice to see. I was really kind of surprised, Steve,

448
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 11: how many people still feel like it's okay for men

449
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 11: to play in women's sports. I think it was what

450
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 11: thirty three thirty five percent there that I will never understand.

451
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 11: But when it comes to business and locking down the

452
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 11: border and fighting crime, those numbers are overwhelming for Trump.

453
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 8: Brian Glenn, your social media, where do people get you?

454
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 8: Real America's voice would be coming back during the Charlie

455
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 8: Kirk Show, probably when McCrone officially arrives, and then Brian

456
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 8: will be in the as Brian always is. He'll be

457
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 8: in the he'll be in the press avel and we'll

458
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 8: have a camera in there, and then later at the

459
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 8: press conference, the waterwall coverage of the White House today, Brian,

460
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 8: how do people get you?

461
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 7: Yeah?

462
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 11: I think you follow me at Brian Glenn TV, across

463
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 11: the board, at Brian on True Social and Brian Glenn

464
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 11: TV on Get Her as well. Thanks, Steve, It's always

465
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 11: a pleasure to come on there. And by the way,

466
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 11: we're still waiting for Macrone, he must have a good

467
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 11: time in there with President Trump if they're meeting right now,

468
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 11: or that phone call went a little bit long, but

469
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 11: they're still inside waiting to leave, So that's only a

470
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 11: good sign.

471
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 8: I would think, well, there's a lot to talk about.

472
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 8: We're gonna get Ben Harnault on Rome in a second

473
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 8: drill done. There's a lot to talk about, a whole

474
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 8: lot to talk about right now with what's going on

475
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 8: in Europe, what's going on with Russia, what's going with Ukraine,

476
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 8: and particularly Macrone's the one that's talking about Europe stepping

477
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 8: up and defending themselves.

478
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 7: This time they did it.

479
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 8: So Brian Glenn, thank you very much, sir, thank you,

480
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 8: Crown Still to waife is Brian is quite unusual. I

481
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 8: don't think I've ever seen a head of state shown

482
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 8: up early to do a call essentially from probably a

483
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 8: morecure location and to make sure that he was there

484
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 8: with President Trump.

485
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 7: And this call went down. Details on that.

486
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 8: Later, Brian right there talking about joy Ann Reid, our

487
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 8: favorite let go by MSNBC last.

488
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 7: Night, Higher staff. I think they were told they were

489
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 7: let go also.

490
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 8: But the Buried Lead is the show that's kind of

491
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 8: the counter to war Room on Saturday mornings, and you know,

492
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 8: we play like Clipson called The Weekend with Simone. Who's

493
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 8: Bernie Sanders comm director Michael Steele, the old head of

494
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 8: the or the former head of the RNC, A guy

495
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 8: I know pretty well. And Menendez's daughter does a good job.

496
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 8: She's one of the sit in anchors that said they

497
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 8: have a show called The Weekend that's replacing joy Anne Reid,

498
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 8: And the way I read it, it was kind of

499
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 8: the way I read it, that might actually be a

500
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 8: two hour show starting I think at seven o'clock on MSNBC.

501
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 8: MSNBC trying to do the counter to the war Room.

502
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 7: Good luck with that. Joy Anne Reid and her wigs

503
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 7: gone unbelievable.

504
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 8: Rome next, Frank Affney with us Hot Monday, the Room,

505
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 8: Confuse your Stephen came back. I'm gonna bring Ben Harnwell.

506
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 8: And while we're on the subject of France. The other day,

507
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 8: when I gave that wave to the audience after the

508
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 8: quite frankly the epic speecher gave fifth seedpack because the

509
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 8: speech was about you. Because the media is there, the

510
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 8: whole world's there to see you. They get enough for

511
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 8: President Trump trust me, President Trump's going to have him

512
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 8: in the Oval today for a press or. He'll be

513
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 8: blowing them up as he did all weekend. He'll then

514
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 8: he'll then have a press conference in the East Wing

515
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 8: in the East Room, sit in the East Room, the

516
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 8: beautiful East Room with Macron, and he'll blow him up again.

517
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 8: And he'll send out I don't know half a dozen

518
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 8: true socials that makes.

519
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 7: Their heads blow up.

520
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 8: The one he put out last night was on Dan

521
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 8: Bongino World went to meltdown. Dan Bongino, Deputy director of

522
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 8: the FBI. He runs the building, Cash runs the bureau.

523
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 8: Pretty amazing. So the guy, the number two guy at

524
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 8: National Rally Front National Bardella, actually canceled his coming to

525
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 8: Seapac to give a speech. Now, a lot of people

526
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 8: had said he didn't want to give it. You know,

527
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 8: Lapen's trying to promote him because they're, oh, let's go,

528
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 8: let's go right now, let's cut there, get the whole screen,

529
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 8: let's go. That's chron right now. Yeah, okay, fine, So

530
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 8: he came. This is unusual.

531
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 7: He came early this morning, there was no official greeting.

532
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 8: Thanks, I'd love that camera coverage right there and what

533
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 8: you had there is walking out.

534
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 7: He came to have a call, a G seven call.

535
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 8: This G seven call is about the peace negotiation's uh,

536
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 8: peace process for for Ukraine, right for Ukraine, and uh,

537
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 8: I'm sure Macron wanted to be in the room. Mcron's

538
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 8: kind of taking the leadership of this, of saying, Hey,

539
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 8: Europe's got to be at the table and Ukraine's got

540
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 8: to be at the table.

541
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 7: I don't buy that.

542
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 8: I think the framework's got to be set up between

543
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 8: Russia and the United States, and it's a bigger framework.

544
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 7: This is something many of us have worked on for years.

545
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 8: I met actually with Dugan in Rome after I left

546
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 8: the White House the year after I left the White

547
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 8: House to talk about this very topic about the Chinese

548
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 8: Communist Party and how important it was to have Russia

549
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 8: in America and some sort of understanding a particularly on

550
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 8: the Eurasian land mass, of the dangers of the Chinese

551
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 8: Communist Party and the moves by the Chinese Communist Party

552
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 8: for dominance not just in East Asia but in all

553
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 8: the Eurasian land mass. What's going to mean for the

554
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 8: detriment of mankind. So President Trump, I think, is setting

555
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 8: that framework now.

556
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 9: In that.

557
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 8: Framework of the relationship comes this, you know, Scott Best

558
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 8: and President Trump working on this minerals deal as part

559
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 8: of it. Today, what you're seeing is McCrone wants Europe

560
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 8: to have a sea at the table, and President Trump's

561
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 8: being very magnanimous.

562
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 7: I'm sure he's going to include him on.

563
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 8: Some but he patients ran out with Zelenski, and President

564
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 8: Trump echoed, I think we've been saying on this show

565
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 8: for a long time. Zelenski has no cards without the

566
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 8: United States writing a massive check right which we cannot do,

567
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 8: and without US sending tons of arms and eventually a

568
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 8: security guarantee, which means US troops that they don't really

569
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 8: have a bargaining position. I hate to be so brutally

570
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 8: frank about it, and people got to come to that realization.

571
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 8: Pete Hegseath, I think brilliantly summed it up when he

572
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 8: was in when he was in Brussels and they got

573
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 8: all over Pete. It's an amategeer. He doesn't know what

574
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 8: he's doing. Well, we saw what you guys did, and

575
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 8: we got a million dead or one the Ukrainians in

576
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 8: a destroyed country, and President Trump's kind of obsessed with

577
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 8: the destruction and the bloodshed and just wants it to stop,

578
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 8: and he's going to make it stop.

579
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 7: And this is what leadership's about.

580
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 8: What I'm not particularly excited about is any kind of

581
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 8: ongoing commitment into Ukraine. And quite frankly, the minerals. I'm

582
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 8: sure the minerals great, but there's minerals all over the world.

583
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 8: It's an opportunit unity costs. I just think you let

584
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 8: Macron and these guys, the big talkers in Europe, let

585
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 8: them do it and we move on, because following the

586
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 8: Apple announcement, there's so much more we have to do

587
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 8: here in the United States. And I don't think it's

588
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 8: quite dawned on people how tough a situation we're going

589
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 8: to have on doing these cuts to the federal budget.

590
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 8: Remember that's still what's driving inflation, and we have we're

591
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 8: having a Canesyan stimulus massively every day from the federal

592
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 8: government and running still historical deficits in this year given

593
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 8: everything we know, and Doge and Doge and Scott Besson

594
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 8: said it's fifty five billion the first month. Hey, I'm

595
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 8: all for that. If that's ways for an abuse on

596
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 8: this one. I'm from Missouri and I got to see

597
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 8: it because the analysis and political in the Wall Street

598
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 8: Journal I think has been pretty solid. May not be perfect,

599
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 8: but they're saying, hey, the number could be a third

600
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 8: of that or only twenty five percent of that. We

601
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 8: need real cash savings. I think there is ways for

602
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 8: an abuse. Obviously, we got to get to the bottom

603
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 8: of that. But I still say, and I will continue

604
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 8: to harp on this, we're kitting ourselves until you start

605
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 8: thinking of programs. It's programmatic in billets, not individual just bodies.

606
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 8: It's billets and programs, programs and billets. You have to do,

607
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 8: You have to do less. You can't do this. The

608
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 8: government should be just doing, should be shrunk and do

609
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 8: the following, and right now in a time of economic distress,

610
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 8: particularly among the working class, because guess what, you invited

611
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 8: ten million to twelve million illegal aliens here to compete

612
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 8: with them at the lower skilled levels or unskilled levels.

613
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 7: To drive their wages down and drive their opportunities down.

614
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 8: And of course you've got every one of these phony

615
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 8: bogus visa programs like H one B visas to crush

616
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 8: the tech workers and others. So programs like medicaidor are

617
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 8: much more spread out than they were before you want

618
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 8: to know a warning shot. You want to know a

619
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 8: warning flair. Look at when they put the memo out

620
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 8: RUSS vote and the team pay. Let us put the

621
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 8: memo out from O and B. And maybe it wasn't

622
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 8: a perfect memo, but directionally you can tell what they're

623
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 8: trying to do.

624
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 7: Hey, we just got here.

625
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 8: We want to have a short moratorium on all payments

626
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 8: until we know we're cash is in the system.

627
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 7: And the system melted down.

628
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 8: And what really melted down was the Republican congressmen who

629
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 8: started with a draw having their meeting and started getting

630
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 8: blown up on the phone by people back in their district. Hey,

631
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 8: I supplied the sandwiches for meals on wheels, right.

632
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 7: I need to be paid.

633
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 8: My point is, these cuts because of what we've done,

634
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 8: are going to be significant, and they're going to be painful.

635
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 8: And who can take political pain. We're going to find out.

636
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 8: But that pain has to be a shared pain. And

637
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 8: right now I don't know if it's the best time

638
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 8: to be throughout the world with massive development projects, a

639
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 8: deal for Ukraine, and I understand what President Trump's saying,

640
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 8: he's tired of like in Iraq and Afghanistan, we put

641
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 8: nine treellion dollars over twenty years, and you walk away

642
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 8: with nothing. None of the mental rights in Afghanistan the

643
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 8: Chinese have those, none of the oil rights or access

644
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 8: as some sort of special deal, special development deal on

645
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 8: the oil and gas.

646
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 7: You have nothing. And I believe correct me if I'm wrong.

647
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 8: I believe the Europeans money came in as kind of

648
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 8: loans the way I think their money came in very

649
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 8: differently than ours went into Ukraine, at least in corne

650
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 8: to President Trump. I think the structure of their money

651
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 8: and quite frankly in the cap table they may actually

652
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 8: be higher because Biden these guys to cover up the

653
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 8: sins that they had Victoria Neulan in this crowd of

654
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 8: the Color Revolution, we're just doing cash at it. And

655
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 8: also all the dark secrets of Ukraine. I also think

656
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 8: Ukraine kind of the Bloodlins. It's a curse part.

657
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 7: Of the world. We shouldn't be there. It's bad news,

658
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 7: bad vibe.

659
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 8: Just move on and if the Krone's there, and that's

660
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 8: why it's quite unusual for Crohn's there at eight o'clock

661
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 8: in the morning, they're having a joint call the G

662
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 8: seven and you know, maybe it's for security, although the

663
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 8: French embassy should be secure enough. Maybe he just want

664
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 8: to be this that there, President Trump. President Trump said okay,

665
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 8: because it was there, but Crohn's now left. That's the

666
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 8: footage Jesus saw and he will come back shortly afternoon.

667
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 7: Ben Harnwell.

668
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 8: Our favorite topic Ukraine, particularly over the weekend, the the

669
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 8: although they're they're trashing it that this is America being mercenary.

670
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 8: There's nothing more than the Europeans and quite frankly, the

671
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 8: Ukrainian oligarchs want then the United States to be somehow

672
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 8: economically involved in Ukraine, and some of the wording that's

673
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 8: come out on Bloomberg it's quite disturbing. We're looking at

674
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 8: where we are looking to work for them to secure

675
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 8: a long term peace, you know, in prosperity. I mean, hey,

676
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 8: I don't know President Trump as as President Trump and

677
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 8: trying to work something out with the Russians is taking

678
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 8: the big picture here, but man, it is I just

679
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 8: think this Ukraine, the more you get involved with Zilensi

680
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 8: in this crowd, the worse it's going to be. Although

681
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 8: the structure of it is that the Ukrainians can't take

682
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 8: any money, everything comes from their side. The minerals are

683
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 8: side to develop. On their side. All the care they

684
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 8: get is specifically target for redevelopment of the country.

685
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 7: Your thoughts, sir, Good morning, Steve.

686
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 13: Well, we're assisting today watching history in the making. It's

687
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 13: definitely a pivot point and in terms of just watching

688
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 13: the show earlier and seeing welcoming this five hundred billion

689
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 13: development from Apple, it is Steve Jobs would have been

690
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 13: his seventieth anniversary today, not the only anniversary, however, that's

691
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 13: overshadowed by the third anniversary of the war in Ukraine.

692
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 13: That's today, twenty fourth of February, year of ourl or

693
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 13: twenty twenty five, three years of unnecessary war.

694
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 9: Today, I have to pick up on one thing.

695
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 13: I've got three things to say today talking about Ukraine,

696
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 13: the AfD, and Macron at the White House, and these

697
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 13: three things are all related.

698
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 9: But I must pick up.

699
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 13: On one thing that you mentioned just before in your monologue.

700
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 13: I'm not sure whether Sident Trump is actually right to

701
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 13: suggest that Zelenski or the Ukrainian regime itself have have

702
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:07,959
Speaker 13: no cards left.

703
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 9: I think they have one card.

704
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 13: I'm not saying it's likely that they would play it,

705
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 13: but they could use it, and that's selling out to

706
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 13: the United States and US oligarchs.

707
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 9: They could sell out to China.

708
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 13: They could pivot, be very dramatic pivot, but seeing as

709
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 13: there aren't any elections there at the moment, they could

710
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 13: pivot to China and say, look, we'll give you the

711
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 13: right ostensibly for the reconstruction redevelopment of Ukraine. And we've

712
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 13: always said for three years that the real drift is

713
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 13: going to come in the rebuilding of Ukraine.

714
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 9: They could sell out to China.

715
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 13: Not suggesting it's likely, but given us sensibilities right now,

716
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 13: it's a card that they could play. Okay, so let's

717
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 13: look at the AfD. Big big news yesterday in Germany.

718
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 13: They're federal elections and the AfD did reasonably well. I

719
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 13: practically doubled its vote it's percentage of the vote from

720
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 13: about ten point three to nineteen and a half percent.

721
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 13: That's a huge success whichever way you look at it.

722
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 13: It's not the twenty five percent that some people were forecasting.

723
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 13: But what this does mean, Steve, is that the AfD,

724
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 13: the Alternative for Deutsche Land, together with the defeated Social

725
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 13: Democratic Party, the Party of Olaf Schultz, the outgoing Chancellor.

726
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 13: These now have a blocking minority and they can stop

727
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 13: constitutional changes. Technically, your journey doesn't have a constitution as

728
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 13: a basic law, but it's already in discussion having that

729
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 13: basic law amended to allow Germany to take on more

730
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 13: debt to finance Ukraine.

731
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 9: The Left. I know I've got to give away for

732
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 9: a break, Steve. But the Left have already said that.

733
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 13: They will only countenance changes for the constitution in taking

734
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 13: on more debt if that money goes in to infrastructure spending.

735
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 9: They're not about to spend more money on you, Ukraine.

736
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 8: I tell you what we're gonna do. Let's go to

737
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 8: a do we Let's let's go and play miles. We

738
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 8: take a quick break here, We're gonna return in a moment.

739
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 8: On word, let's go ahead and take the Let's go

740
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 8: and play the play the song.

741
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 7: Let's go. We'll be back in a moment.

742
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,280

747
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:08,840

750
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 10: it's a ball, let's tick down the CCP. They have

751
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 10: all for too long.

752
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 3: We will end what they do wrong.

753
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 12: Spread the word of the rock.

754
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 7: Come, let's take down.

755
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 12: See Sipe and.

756
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 10: The bullet bag and let too long, and to surrender.

757
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 7: The bullets a little.

758
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 3: Number we will apread up to live.

759
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 7: We will win your surrender.

760
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 9: The bullet flight.

761
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 3: Let the bullet flighter.

762
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 9: The long the bullet flighter longer.

763
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 5: Up food security helping to secure Ukraine. And do you

764
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 5: expect Lensky to sign it?

765
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 6: I do expect the President Zolensky will sign. What it

766
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 6: does not include is a military guarantee. But what it

767
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 6: does include is an implicit guarantee that if the United

768
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 6: States of America is heavily invested in the economic future,

769
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 6: I call it an economic security guarantee. The more assets

770
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 6: that US companies have on the ground, the bigger interest

771
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 6: that the US has in the future of Ukrainian economy

772
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 6: doing well, the more security it creates for the Ukrainian people,

773
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 6: and the more the higher the return for the US

774
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,919
Speaker 6: taxpayer again. President Trump has structured this win win deal.

775
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 6: And it's unfortunate that after my meeting with President Zolensky

776
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 6: and then his meeting in Munich with Vice President Vance

777
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 6: Secretary of State Rubio. The idea of my trip to

778
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 6: Ukraine and then the meeting in Munich we want to

779
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 6: intertwine the US and Ukrainian economies for the benefit of both,

780
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 6: and unfortunately their President Zelensky seems to put a bit

781
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 6: of daylight between us. But I am sure in the

782
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 6: long run or in the short run, there is no daylight.

783
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 6: The deal will be signed and this will give President

784
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 6: Trump a lever and it will be a strong signal

785
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 6: to Russian leadership that the US is in a serious

786
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 6: partnership with the Ukrainian people.

787
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 5: President Zelenski is speaking right now, saying today that he

788
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 5: was willing to give up his position if it meant

789
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 5: piece in Ukraine, equipping that he could exchange his departure

790
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 5: for Ukraine's entry into NATO. Zelenski also says he wanted

791
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 5: to see Donald Trump as a partner to Ukraine and

792
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 5: more than simply a mediator between Kiev and Moscow. I

793
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 5: wanted to be more than just mediation. That's not enough,

794
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 5: he told a press conference just moments ago. Your reaction

795
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 5: is is also suggesting that there could be a change

796
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 5: in leadership in Ukraine.

797
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 6: You know, Maria, I try to stay in my economics

798
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 6: and finance plane, So what present.

799
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 7: This is the first that I've heard about it.

800
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 6: But at some point Ukrainian people, it's a democracy, They're

801
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 6: going to have an election and they will democratically elect

802
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 6: a leader. President Selensky has been a wartime president, and

803
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 6: you know we've seen in the history of this Winston

804
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 6: Churchill is a fantastic wartime leader, and then the British

805
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 6: people decided to move on after he had done a

806
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 6: great job during World War Two.

807
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 9: Welcome back, folks.

808
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 13: I'm just going to finish off with the point that

809
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 13: I was making just before the break, but following on

810
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 13: from what Secretary Treasury Secretary Scott Basont is saying that

811
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 13: I cautioned the War Room posit not to be too

812
00:43:55,480 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 13: invested in these arguments about entwining, to quote him, the

813
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 13: US economy and Ukrainian economy, because it's not so much

814
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 13: the entwining of economies that I think the POSSE is

815
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 13: interested in. It's the entwining of the military infrastructures. And

816
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 13: this show has been absolutely constant here for three years

817
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 13: on this issue.

818
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 9: The US military, the United States must.

819
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 13: Disengage from Ukraine rather than look for excuses and pretext

820
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 13: to bind itself ever further in. And that's exactly what

821
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 13: the Treasury Secretary Veston is doing here. He's providing a pretext,

822
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 13: a visible pretext for behind the scenes further investment. Why

823
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 13: do I say this, then, if you'd be very kind

824
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 13: and put up the second asset, which you have headline,

825
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 13: Zelensky says, US mineral deal must include military guarantees.

826
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 9: There we have it. That's from the Mining Weekly publication.

827
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 13: They know exactly what this is is all about, the

828
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 13: idea that they need use the term security guarantees, or

829
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 13: you can use the modern linger that's just been introduced

830
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 13: over the last seven or so days, a backstop, whatever,

831
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 13: whatever whatever jargon you want to use. The point here

832
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 13: is that the US military is not going to be

833
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 13: allowed to disengage. And in fact, talking about the US military,

834
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 13: you know, and I hand over to Stephen in just

835
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 13: a moment on this someone who did wear the US

836
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 13: military uniform when he was younger, as did his daughter,

837
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 13: as did a number of members of his family.

838
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 9: My own brother was was in the.

839
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 13: UK Navy as a as a career, as a career

840
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 13: engineer in the Navy. The point about, I think for

841
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 13: young people putting on military uniform is an it's a

842
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 13: manifestation of the heroism that and patriotism that a citizen

843
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 13: is capable of showing for their own country, for their country.

844
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 13: That's why we call these things ministries of defense rather

845
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 13: than offense. And the issue here for using, as this

846
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 13: headline points, military guarantees about US soldiers in an area

847
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 13: of which the US has no vital national interest is

848
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 13: that these these soldiers aren't just being used here by

849
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 13: billionaires to defend America's interests. They're effectively, and I use

850
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 13: the term advisedly here, but are the US military is

851
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 13: effectively being prostituted out to act not as a national

852
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 13: defense force for a country, but as mercenaries.

853
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 9: That's exactly what we're talking about here.

854
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 13: We're talking about the US military being provided as a

855
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 13: mercenary force to protect the interest of American oligarchs going

856
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 13: into Ukraine for the apparently trillions of dollars worth of

857
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 13: infrastructure there.

858
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 9: It's absolutely not acceptable, and to some extent, I would

859
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 9: use the word betrayal.

860
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 13: It's a betrayal of what this movement, the MAGA movement,

861
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 13: the America First Movement, is founded on. And I'll tell

862
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 13: you why I use such a heavy word as portrayal,

863
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 13: because this is exactly the same logic that was used

864
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 13: to employ the First Gulf War and the Second Girl

865
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 13: Gulf War as justification.

866
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 9: We all know that was about oil.

867
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 13: The First Gold War Bush forty one and Dick Cheney

868
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 13: Second Girl War Bush forty three. Dick Cheney again, this

869
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 13: Cheney's beloved father, and Donald Donald Rumstell.

870
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 9: The whole point about.

871
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 13: That was to create stability in the oil market, because

872
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 13: America is an exporter of oil. And I cannot think

873
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 13: of an American presidency, of an American administration more hated

874
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 13: and loathed even by its own members than the Bush dynasty,

875
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 13: the Bush family dynasty.

876
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 9: And it is tragic to see some people in the

877
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 9: orbit around Donald Trump.

878
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 13: Using exactly the same arguments that the neocoms we used

879
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 13: in the nineties and in the first decade of this millennium,

880
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 13: using exactly the same arguments to justify exactly the same

881
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 13: thing in a different country Ukraine, of which I repeat

882
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 13: America has no national vital interests.

883
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 9: If there are.

884
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 13: Minerals and rare earths buried, largely mostly in the Dombats

885
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 13: and the Russian occupied part of Ukraine, then any country

886
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 13: can trade with them. That's how things are done. It's

887
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 13: enough of the war and enough of the pretexts. This

888
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 13: movement has been absolutely clear from the start. America needs

889
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 13: to disngage from Ukraine. Okay, stay tuned, folks, we'll be

890
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 13: back after this short break in just a couple of moments.
