1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Monday edition of The Clay Travis N.

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. I am back from Taiwan and it

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: was fascinating play out today on vacation with his family.

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Appreciate him holding down the fort last week. The Sexton

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: Brothers mission to Taiwan was fascinating. We have an interview

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: with the President of Taiwan that will air in this

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: program in the third hour where we get into the

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: threat from China, which is higher than it has ever been,

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: the threat of invasion. It's really getting tents over there.

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons, the main reason really why

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to go, so I could see for myself

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: and learn what is going on. Meetings over there, interviews

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: with the President, the Vice president, the National Security Advisor,

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: members of the National Security Council, senior leadership. From the

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: trillion dollar TSMC Corporation that's the market cap of it.

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of the most valuable companies in

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: the world that makes the chips for your phones, my friends.

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: It is the only manufacturer of the most advanced chips

19
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: that are needed for ai So we talked to TSMC.

20
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: I toured a Taiwanese military base discussed preparations for a

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: possible amphibious invasion. I mean, it was a heck of

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: a week, I can tell you that, and I'm gonna

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: bring you as much of those insights as I can

24
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: of the course of this week clays out, I believe,

25
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: until Thursday, so we have some time together over the

26
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: next couple of days. But so a lot to talk

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: about with respect to Taiwan and China. It really does matter.

28
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: It is incredibly important. It is something that we as

29
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: a country need to make sure we understand and we

30
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: avoid a massive war in the east. That's the real

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: problem here. That's what we're trying to tackle because it

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: would crash the markets and cause huge problems or global

33
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: supply chain for technology. My friends, it is the flash

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: point right now, and I hope that things stay calm

35
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: and peaceful and status quo reigns over there, and we

36
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: have a big hand in it. Anyway, I will get

37
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: more into that. I know, first and foremost we are

38
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: looking here at what's going on at home. On the

39
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: home front. We have Oh boy, the shutdown happened. We

40
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: are in a shutdown, and it is not in fact,

41
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria, but it is

42
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: interesting to see what Democrats place their priorities on. We

43
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: will have the Speaker of the House, number three in

44
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: line for the presidency, Speaker Johnson set to join us

45
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: also in the third hour of the program. It's a

46
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 1: pre pac third hour, Speaker of the House Representatives, President

47
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: of Taiwan. We've got a big show for you, my friends.

48
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: So we'll discuss the shutdown negotiations, the latest on that

49
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: with the Speaker of the House. So that then brings

50
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: me to the showdown over water being called federal protection missions.

51
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: I was following this from Afar twelve hours behind in

52
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm sorry, twelve hours ahead rather in Taiwan,

53
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: so watching the news from a distance and in a

54
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: different timeframe. But certainly this showdown over the deployment of

55
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: these federal protection missions to different American cities is really

56
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: a big deal. It matters tremendously for the immigration enforcement mission,

57
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: which is central to the Trump administration agenda, but it

58
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: also goes to sovereignty and the rule of law as

59
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: general principles in this country. Do we have rule of

60
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: law or not? Let me just take a step back

61
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: here for a moment. Democrats at every turn have insisted

62
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: that state governments, wherever they have control, state governments do

63
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: nothing to help and if possible, even thwart federal law enforcement.

64
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: And they will when they Democrats are in charge of

65
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: federal government power, they will refuse help from the state government.

66
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: So it is the policy of the Democrat party to

67
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: undermine immigration law always at all times. When they have

68
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: the federal government they don't want, they will not accept

69
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: help from the state. In fact, you will recall under

70
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: the disastrous Biden administration, they were telling Texas that Texas,

71
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: as a state on the border, was not allowed to

72
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: set up barriers to illegal entry. They forced Texas to

73
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: remove barriers to make it easier for the ten million plus.

74
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: I keep saying plus because I don't maybe it was

75
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: twelve million with the Godaways. We don't know. Ten million

76
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: plus illegals piling into the country. Under Biden a decision

77
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: made by the Democrats to undermine our sovereignty, to be

78
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: lawless and reckless as a party, top down, the decision

79
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: was made to do this. And now that we have

80
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: the Trump administration saying okay, we're actually going to enforce

81
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: the law, Democrats try to stop it at every point

82
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: at every juncture, and you're seeing this once again. If

83
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: they had any actual courage of their convictions, why don't

84
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: they just come out and say they're for open borders.

85
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: Let's really just get down to this. Democrats do not

86
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: want enforcement of our immigration laws. They don't want border security,

87
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: they don't want deportations. They want to have the continuous

88
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: importation of the third World, of developing countries, of people

89
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: who don't speak English, who don't obey our laws. The

90
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: first act they commit on our soil is a violation

91
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: of our laws at our sovereignty. And they do this

92
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: because they view America as something that needs radical change

93
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: with Democrats in charge, and the only way they can

94
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: achieve that, achieve that is to import non American voters.

95
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: Buy the millions, Buy the millions. This is the game plan,

96
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: this is what they do. Trump is trying to not

97
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: only stop the inflow, but create an outflow of illegals

98
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: scent packing as are federal law states, they should be.

99
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: Let's be very clear about this. There's a lot of

100
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: talk about prioritization, about who can stay and who can go,

101
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, you know they're sending away this

102
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: Grandma who's been here for all these years. If you're

103
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: here illegally, you are subject to deportation. That is federal law.

104
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: If Democrats don't like that, then Democrats in the House

105
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: and the Senate should try to change it. But what

106
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: they do is lie and say, oh, no, we're for

107
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: immigration laws, but we just want to make sure that

108
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 1: they're never actually enforced. They want to have it both ways.

109
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: They want to play this double game. Enough is enough.

110
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: So Trump is forcing their hand because what you see

111
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: in Portland, what you see in Chicago, and the state

112
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: actions from Democrats controlling both proves my thesis beyond any doubt.

113
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: It is exactly what I have been saying and am

114
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: saying to you. That's what's going on. And you see

115
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: it with these federal protection missions. Now Portland, which unfortunately

116
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: has for a long time been Antifa Stan, Antifa just

117
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: gets to show up, run rough shot, Mayhem, anarchy, do

118
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: whatever they want. Portland is Antifa Stan, as we know.

119
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: And they have these demonstrations and an Immigration and Customs

120
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: Enforcement facility, their ice facility there, demonstrations play where they're riots.

121
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're they're impeding law enforcement. They're getting

122
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: in the way there, there was the car being rammed

123
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: into Ice recently. I mean, they're doing all this crazy

124
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: stuff to stop law enforcement from conducting its duties. This

125
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: is lawlessness, This is unacceptable. And the fact that state

126
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: and local law enforcement, because this is a Democrat enclave,

127
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: a Democrat fiefdom, the fact that state and local law

128
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: enforcement refuses to assist, refuses to provide backup, is all

129
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: the indication that anybody should need that the federal government

130
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: needs to double down and send reinforcements. That's what this

131
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: Federal Protection Mission is. President Trump, this is cut twelve.

132
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: Spoke about the situation in Portland.

133
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: Listen, Portland's different. That's a bunch of paid insurrections. But

134
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: you have a lot of pay people in Chicago. Do

135
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: I believe the politicians are under threat because there's.

136
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: No way somebody can say that things are one to

137
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: vote in Chicago, almod fifty five I think it was

138
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: fifty five people over a short third of times have

139
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 3: been murdered in Chicago, has been shot. Two hundred and

140
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: twenty two people over short have been hit, have been wounded,

141
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: not died, but fifty five people died over a short

142
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 3: pirit dumit you're telling me there's no city in the

143
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: world like that.

144
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: We're going to straight it down. And I think that Pritzker,

145
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: he's not a stupid person. I think that Pritzker's afread

146
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 2: for his life.

147
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: Here we have Trump continuing to push on these issues

148
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: where I think he not only is right legally and morally,

149
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: but also politically because Democrats don't want things to get better.

150
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: They stand in the way of progress on bringing the

151
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: crime numbers down, murders down in Chicago, and immigration enforcement

152
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: in Chicago, which is another big issue right now. They're saying, oh,

153
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: these they keep calling them militarized raids. They're antagonizing the

154
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: New York Times and Chicago Tribute and the Washington Post.

155
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: They're constantly inflaming and antagonizing the public, lying to the

156
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: public about the nature of these This is what is

157
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: lawful for these ice officers to do. They are allowed

158
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: to go into areas and enforce our laws. Democrats cannot

159
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: get away with this game anymore. We cannot allow this

160
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: where they say, well, we support immigration forces, but I

161
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: don't like the way they're doing it. They're being really

162
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: mean in this area as they do it. What do

163
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: they want to have happen here. You've got people that

164
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: don't want to go back to their own country, their

165
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: actual home country, their country of citizenship, and they are

166
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: fighting against it. Sometimes they are resisting arrest, they are

167
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: trying to evade law enforcement. Enough is enough. Democrats showed

168
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: us who they are underbided. They are an open borders party.

169
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: They are a bunch of liars. They cannot win. They

170
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: show me one Democrat who can debate this issue with

171
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: someone like me, someone who's fired up and knowledgeable and

172
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: has been following it for now a decade very closely.

173
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't exist because they're We've all seen that they

174
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 1: are lying. And that's why in Oregon it's really Portland

175
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: is the issue. But within the Oregon state government this

176
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: is getting a lot of attention. A bunch of communists,

177
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: unfortunately run that place just like they run Portland. And

178
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: then Illinois. I feel bad if Pritzker is the governor

179
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: of Illinois, but really he's like the Viceroy of Chicago

180
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: because it's the Chicago political machine that controls the rest

181
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: of the state. There's a lot of nice places in Illinois,

182
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: with plenty of sane people. It's just Chicago is run

183
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: by the crazies. And so you have the Mayor of Chicago,

184
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Johnson, the governor of Illinois, like I say, the

185
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: Viceroy of Chicago Pritzker, who also wants to step up

186
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: for leadership of the Democrat Party. You have all of

187
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: them coming together trying to again inflame the public and

188
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: stop Trump from doing what he needs to do or

189
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: what he seeks to do here in these places. And

190
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: it's just madness. I think people have seen this. Now

191
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: you have a federal judge Sunday Night has blocked the

192
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: Trump administration from deploying National Guard, or has put out

193
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: an order to block the National Guard, I should say.

194
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: And now today Illinois has sued the Trump administration over

195
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Guard deployments. And so you got a couple of states

196
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: that are saying, no, you're not allowed to help with

197
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: enforcement of immigration. You cannot use federal resources in our

198
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: state to help with immigration enforcement and also to help

199
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: with crime. Not allowed to do it. This is lawlessness.

200
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: This is a critical fight. It's one where Trump is

201
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: right and has to continue. So I'll give you more

202
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: of this. By the way, I want to remind everybody

203
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: while these judges are coming forward to say Hey, you

204
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: can't do this. There's no need for this. There was

205
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: another time when there was National Guard deployed and there

206
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: was no need for it. That Democrats made a very

207
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: big deal of deployed the national Guard and it was absurd,

208
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: absurd how long they've I'll come back and I'll explain

209
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: that to you here in just a second. You know,

210
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: it was two years ago tomorrow that terrorists murdered more

211
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: than twelve hundred innocent Israelis and took two hundred and

212
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: fifty hostages. Today there's a glimmer of hope that the

213
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: remaining hostages may be returned. And while the world is

214
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: focused on a lot of other events in the news

215
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: these days, there's a light that shines in the darkness.

216
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: Christians in America tomorrow will boldly stand with Israel by

217
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: participating in a growing movement that will be going on

218
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: for the month. It has been created by the International

219
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and it's called Flags of Fellowship.

220
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: This country wide effort, Flags of Fellowship unites churches across

221
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: America plan to go over one million Israeli flags across

222
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: our land show the world that Israel is not alone

229
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: Welcome in Everybody's second hour of play in Buck kicks

230
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: off right now. So we's talked a lot about Portland

231
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: in the first hour of program, and these dueling issues

232
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: of immigrations and customs enforcement particularly and lawlessness in Portland,

233
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: and then similar situation in Chicago. Ice facilities under siege,

234
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: Democrats wanting illegals to just be able to continue to

235
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: break our laws with impunity. That's not how the law works, lives.

236
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: But there's also just the crime issue and homicides, murders,

237
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: as salts, robberies, all of that, and the situation in

238
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: Chicago where you have still a very high overall murder rate.

239
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: It's America's third largest city. It's a beautiful city. I

240
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: love Chicago as a place, and it's got a lot

241
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: of great people. It's got wonderful food and architecture, and

242
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: there's you know, a lot of things going for Chicago.

243
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: Here it's a little cold in the winter, but a

244
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: lot of things going for Chicago. Sorry, I'm from Miami now,

245
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: so I get to say these things. Little chili in

246
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: January in Chicago, but I hear it's a lovely place overall,

247
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: and I had I've only been there once and I

248
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: had a great experience, I must say. But there's too

249
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: much crime. And the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, is

250
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: an incompetent and is only making things worse there, and

251
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: he sees this as his chance to square off against

252
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, so he's going after the President. Remember, the

253
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: President wants to make safe the city of Chicago for

254
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:52,479
Speaker 1: all residents. In doing so, using federal law enforcement resources

255
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: in federal support to make it make their fewer murders

256
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: and to make it safe for on the streets of Chicago.

257
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: It would disproportionately help minorities because there are more black

258
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: residents of Chicago who are shot and killed than anyone else,

259
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: and so it is actually a great service to the

260
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: predominantly black areas of the city of Chicago to bring

261
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: the crime rate down. It's very small percentage of people

262
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: who are doing a very large percentage of the violent crime,

263
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: and of those crimes, the targets the victims are largely

264
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: disproportionately black. We all know these numbers. We've all talked

265
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: about this. Meanwhile, Mayor Johnson, this is cut twenty three,

266
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: is attacking Trump for these efforts. Play it a double

267
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: minded man.

268
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 5: He is unstable in every way possible, unhinged and unhealthy.

269
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 5: The idea of described the American people as enemies from

270
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 5: within is clearly not just a sign of authoritarianism. He

271
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 5: has totally imbibed the full spirit of tyranny, and our

272
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 5: cities are not training ground for the military. In fact,

273
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: even the notion to suggest that the brave women and

274
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 5: men who sign up to serve this country, to fight

275
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 5: terrorism around the globe, to protect our way of existence,

276
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 5: turning neighbors on their own neighbors is not only unconstitutional,

277
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 5: it is reprehensible.

278
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: It is reprehensible. Huh, Mayor of Chicago is shameless. We

279
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: all understand what President Trump is trying to do here,

280
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: and he's trying to make Chicago safer. Let's look at

281
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: some of the Let's turn to the numbers. Shall we

282
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: last year twenty twenty four, that's the last year for

283
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: which we have full numbers. Chicago had five hundred and

284
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: seventy three murders. Now that's the first time since twenty

285
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: nineteen that the number was under six hundred Chicago in

286
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Let me just see the twenty twenty

287
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: one had pulling it up as I talked to you. Wow,

288
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: in ninety four, there were nine hundred and thirty murders.

289
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Seven hundred and seventy eight murders in

290
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Seven hundred and seventy eight murders in just

291
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: the city of Chicago in twenty twenty. Now, I just

292
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: got back, as you know, from Taiwan. I was on

293
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: a fact finding expedition there on a whole range of things,

294
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: mostly on the national security and economic front, because Taiwan

295
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: is critical for well the world actually on those issues.

296
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: And I'll be explaining more of that. But how many

297
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: murders do you think Taiwan's a country of twenty three

298
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: million people? How many murders you think Taiwan had last year?

299
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: See about two hundred in the whole country of twenty

300
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: three million people. There are two million people in Chicago,

301
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: and Chicago had seven hundred and seventy eight murders in

302
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty last year. I know, let's say it's so

303
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: let's say they're running at about six hundred murders a

304
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: year on average for the last few years, because it's

305
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: usually above six hundred, we'll be generous, We'll say about

306
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: six hundred murders. So Chicago, a city of two million,

307
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: has three times the total murder rate of the entire

308
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: nation of Taiwan with twenty three million people, with multiple

309
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: cities that have over two million people. I think we

310
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: can see what's going on here. Right. You might be thinking, well,

311
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: what is it like to be and I hadn't had

312
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: this experience in quite some time, what's it like to

313
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: be in a place that feels really safe. Well, when

314
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: I was walking through a park at about ten o'clock

315
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: at night, a public park in the downtown of Taipei,

316
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: the main city, there were families in the park at night,

317
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: just enjoying, you know, because it's nice and warm there.

318
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: It's very similar climate actually to South Florida. It's nice

319
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: and warm there. And they all they had was some

320
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: lamps providing an ambient light from the city. It's quite

321
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: a city type but you had families sitting on the

322
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: park benches in the playgrounds, just like as if it

323
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: was broad daylight. There's no concern about I can't be

324
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: in a park at night because bad things will happen.

325
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: And there are little kids running around playing, parents sitting

326
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: on the benches watching for afar. And I had people

327
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: writing to me, oh, buck, but it's like that in

328
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: my town in South Dakota, or it's like that, you know,

329
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: in my town of five hundred people in you know,

330
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: South Carolina or something. And I'm like, okay, yeah, that's nice.

331
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: But this is a city of millions of people, millions

332
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: of people consolidated together in one place, and they and

333
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: it's as safe as a town of a few thousands

334
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: in a very red rural part of America. It is

335
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: as safe as that. So you say, well, it must

336
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: be possible. One of the other anecdotes I have for this,

337
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: which I thought was so interesting, was that people would

338
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: do this thing where you would be in a cafe

339
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: and they would put their phone down, and I would

340
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: say to myself, wait a second. They'd get up to

341
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom and they would leave their phone

342
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: at the you know, their one thousand dollars, iPhone or

343
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: whatever at their seat. I had never seen this before, right,

344
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: I would When I lived in Midtown Manhattan, I was

345
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: worried that somebody was going to reach into my pocket

346
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: when I was sitting there drinking my coffee and try

347
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: to take my phone. They leave their phone there to

348
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: mark their seat, to save their seat while they go

349
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: to the bathroom, and no one this is what you'd interesstand.

350
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: I asked some of the locals about this. No one

351
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: thinks this is odd. They're like, yeah, of course they

352
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: want ever to know. It's like if you're at a

353
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: buffet at a hotel and you know, you leave your

354
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: your napkin on the tables. Everybody knows that you're sitting there.

355
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: They do that with their smartphone in public places where

356
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: people are coming and going on the street, No big deal.

357
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: High trust society a place where people do not have

358
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: to be worried, do not have to be concerned about

359
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: crime because it is not a realistic concern for them. Now.

360
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying we're going to be able to turn

361
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: Chicago into Taipei in terms of safety and security. It

362
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: would be nice, but that's not gonna happen. I do

363
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: point it out, though, because we should know what is possible.

364
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: We should know that there are cities with millions of

365
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: people living together where there is basically no concern whatsoever

366
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: about crime, and then use that as a comparison to

367
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: say Chicago, where there is far too much crime for

368
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: far too long. It doesn't have to be this way.

369
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: Crime is a choice. Society makes a choice about how

370
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: much crime it will tolerate. But crime is a choice.

371
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: We don't have to deal with things the way that

372
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: they are. And unfortunately, what you see from the Mayor

373
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: of Chicago and from Governor Pritzker is they don't want

374
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: it to get better. They want this status quo. The

375
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: same way that the Taiwanese people. And I say, I

376
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: love Taiwan, and I love the Taiwanese people. They really

377
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: endeared themselves to be topped about. Everybody I dealt with there.

378
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: Everyone is so polite and considerate and friendly, and it's

379
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: just a great place. It's a great place the same

380
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: way that they are proud, and they should be because

381
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: I talked to them. They kind of giggle, they laugh

382
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: when I'm saying, well, you got it's so safe here.

383
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: How is this little old ladies walking around midnight by

384
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: themselves on the streets, not a care in the world. Kids,

385
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: I didn't see. I didn't take the subway there. I

386
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: took their high speed trains to get around the countryside

387
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: because I had some places I had to go. But

388
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: they do, they do have people. We'll get on these trains.

389
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,239
Speaker 1: I thought I was sitting in the quiet car. If

390
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: you've ever taken the Acella from DC to or Boston

391
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: down to d C with the New York stop, I

392
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 1: thought I was in the quiet car. No, that's just

393
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: people are just quiet and respectful. They're not all, you know,

394
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: playing their iPhones on speaker phone. They're not all shouting,

395
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: they're not all loud talking. I thought I was in

396
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: a quiet car. I was just in a Taiwanese railcar.

397
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: People just all being respectful. And there's no trash. They're

398
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: trash anywhere. I mean, whether in the high speed train

399
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: or on the streets, there's no litter. Isn't that amazing?

400
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: It turns out you don't have to have people just

401
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: dropping their you know, their big mac rappers wherever they're walking.

402
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be that way, and we could

403
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: all be in a place that is much safer in

404
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: this country, in the big cities, if we were willing

405
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: to make the necessary decisions as a society, you get

406
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: the crime you tolerate. It is not a given. It

407
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: is not Oh, there's no way out of this status quo.

408
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: But when you have people like Mayor Johnson who don't

409
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: want it to get better, it won't get better. You

410
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: are locked into this. Here, this is cut twenty four.

411
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: Here he is saying that really, this is about a

412
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: war on poor people that Trump is waging.

413
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 6: Play it.

414
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 5: This is not about deportation, This is not about community safety.

415
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 5: This is quite frankly, this is about for profit. You know,

416
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: we know that there is an investigation right now that's

417
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 5: underway with Tom Holman, who took fifty thousand dollars, fifty

418
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 5: thousand dollars from two FBI agents because Tom Holman made

419
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 5: a promise to direct contracts to the very people who

420
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 5: are running these detention centers, who actually gave over almost

421
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 5: three million dollars to President Trump's campaign.

422
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 6: The president of the United States of America.

423
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 5: Has declared war on poor people. And if there was

424
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 5: ever a time for working people to stand up across

425
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 5: this world, the time is now.

426
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: What a just rabble rousing, lying jerk. This guy is

427
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: war on poor people. Trump's trying to keep keep poor

428
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: people from getting shot walking to the grocery store. He's

429
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: trying to keep children from catching a bullet from some

430
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: gang banger who can aim and doesn't care shooting it

431
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: out with some other gang bang over who gets to

432
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: sell fentonl murdering people in the streets. Trump wants to

433
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: stop that, and the Mayor of Chicago thinks that he's

434
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: the good guy here. He thinks that Trump's waging a

435
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: war on poor people. No, the war on poor people

436
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: is from incompetent democrats like the mayor of Chicago. The

437
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: war on poor people is from less left wing race

438
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: hustling democrats who don't want to take the necessary steps,

439
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: who don't want to do what they can do to

440
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: save lives and make those city streets safer. It could

441
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: be a heck of a lot better than it is,

442
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: and Trump's trying to make it so. And you know,

443
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you so much about this country

444
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: I am so proud of. I do think we're the

445
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: greatest country in the world. I know we have our problems.

446
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: I love America though I truly do. When you come

447
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: home from being abroad, it reminds you how much you

448
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: love this place. But it is embarrassing how much crime

449
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: there is in our Democrat cities like New York, where

450
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: I used to live in. Though Chicago's way worse than

451
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: New York. It's embarrassing because it doesn't have to be

452
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: this way. And the leadership that says that it is,

453
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: whether it's Pritzker or Johnson or any of these Democrats,

454
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: you vote for them, you get more of it. It's

455
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 1: that straightforward, it's that simple. Trump's trying to save people,

456
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: all right. Look, do you have a plan to stay

457
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: connected with your family or coworkers in the event of

458
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 1: a natural disaster? We suggest rapid radios. Rapid radios are

459
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: modern day walkie talkies that are a literal lifeline if

460
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: power goes out for several days or sell service becomes unstable.

461
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: Rapid radios work on a nationwide LT network, so you

462
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,199

489
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: and Buck. We have the White House addressing the shutdown

490
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: and other questions right now. But on the shutdown issue,

491
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: here's here's where things stand. Democrats, I think that they

492
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: are finding this is not breaking the way for them

493
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: that they have wanted it to. They in general think

494
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 1: that shutdowns are something that favors Democrats, probably because they

495
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: have the media in their back pocket. But here, here,

496
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: let let's get into some of this. Ted Cruz, for example,

497
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: Senator Cruz, this has cut four. It's pretty straightforward. The

498
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: Republicans have said they'll fund the government. It's Democrats that

499
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: want their special goodies in addition to the continuing resolution funding.

500
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: So it's Democrats who are throwing their little tantrum, and

501
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: Senator Cruz is saying, maybe they should stop stop throwing tantrents.

502
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 8: Play for the real reason we're having the shutdown is

503
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 8: Chuck Schumer is at a political crisis. A couple of

504
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 8: months ago, he agreed to allow the government to stay open,

505
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 8: and his left wing base got furious with him. He

506
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 8: is looking over his left shoulder, terrified that AOC is

507
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 8: going to primary him, and so this is a temper tantrum.

508
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 8: This is Chuck Schumer and the Democrats saying we hate

509
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 8: Donald Trump, and we hate Donald Trump so much we

510
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 8: are going to shut the government down. The government will

511
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 8: reopen when Schumer's temper tantrum ends. But this is pure

512
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 8: political theater, trying to guard his left base.

513
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: So that's one part of it. Democrats trying to figure

514
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: out how to play this when it comes to their

515
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: constituencies and what this looks like. And I like that

516
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: Senator Cruz goes after the possibility of an AOC primary.

517
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: Oh man, wouldn't that be great. It would be such

518
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: a fun thing to do to just just pop the

519
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: popcorn and watch AOC try to take Schumer down. And

520
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: he's got to be thinking about that. Schumer, he's a

521
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: guy who say what you will about him. He knows

522
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: how to keep that funding flowing for his campaigns, and

523
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: he wants to keep that Senate seat. Would have a

524
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: big advantage with well, a whole bunch of things, but

525
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: certainly with her media profile and using digital media. This mom,

526
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: Donny guy, by the way, New York, I'm worried. I'm

527
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: worried about what's gonna happen to you guys. I really am,

528
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: including my own family that's there. This mom, Donny guy's

529
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: a disaster. Really truly, he he'sn't even worse. I thought

530
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: he was really bad, But the more I'm seeing from him,

531
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: I think he's worse than I thought, which I'm not

532
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: even sure I knew that was possible, but it is

533
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: because he is. It's not good. It's not good. I

534
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna get some fellow Floridians out of this bargain,

535
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: some people who are sane, but I know a lot

536
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: of people are. It's not as easy as just picking

537
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: up and leaving. I was lucky. I was not yet married,

538
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: had a mobile job, I didn't have a kid yet

539
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: in school, so it was easy enough for me to move.

540
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: I know it's hard for people to just pick up

541
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: and move. You wouldn't have to, right, You shouldn't have

542
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: to flee some communist maniac in a state like New York,

543
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: which is a great place and has so much going

544
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: for it. The city of New York, I should say,

545
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: which has so much going for it. But here we are,

546
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: here's Trump. Let's just let Trump weigh in. This is

547
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: cut one on the shutdown and the possibility there could

548
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: be some Democrat job cuts from this, go for it.

549
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 9: But it's all because of the Democrats. The Democrats are

550
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 9: causing the loss of a lot of jobs with their

551
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 9: it's a shutdown. It's their shutdown, not our shutdown. It's

552
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 9: their shutdown.

553
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: It is their shutdown, the Schumer shut down, if you will.

554
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: They have decided that it is so important for them

555
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: to try to get these Obamacare ACA supplemental payments out there.

556
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: Let's just make this really easy. Obamacare, which is the

557
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: signature achievement, if you can call it that. But the

558
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: main thing that Barack Obama in eight years got done

559
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: was Obamacare. As we know, I know, ruining the country

560
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: and igniting race riots and all that. Yeah, that too,

561
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: But the main thing from a legislative standpoint is Obamacare.

562
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: And they promised that this was going to cover everybody,

563
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: and it was going to bring cost down. That was

564
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: really It was going to cover everybody and bring costs

565
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: down and also not explode deficit spending. And what you've

566
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: seen is that it was a It has failed on

567
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: all fronts. Essentially, it has covered more people, but overwhelmingly

568
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: through medicaid. Medicaid is busting budgets in states all over

569
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: the country, and there's the complicated machinery of how these

570
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: states are funding these programs and how they're like what

571
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: they do in a state like California, they spend in

572
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: order to get they spend more to they can get

573
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: more federal matching dollars. They're running all kinds of scams

574
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: essentially to just create this massive slush fund and medicaid.

575
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: There's so much of it too that has nothing to

576
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: do with actual care and it's a disaster. But okay,

577
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: before we get into all or without even getting into

578
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: this state funding of these things, have your premiums gone up?

579
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: All of you are saying yes, have your premiums gone

580
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: up a lot? As in, are you in whatever healthcare

581
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: plan you have which you weren't allowed to keep? That

582
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: was the big promise of Obamacare. If you like your plan,

583
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: you can keep your plan? No you can't. And on

584
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: your new plan, do you have better coverage? No you don't.

585
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: Are you paying a lot more for it? Yes? You are.

586
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 1: Was the whole Obamacare game, other than being a huge

587
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: giveaway to the insurance industry, but was the whole game

588
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: that you were subsidizing. It's just a complex scheme for

589
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: you to subsidize other people's healthcare. That's what Medicaid is.

590
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: But that's also what a lot of Obamacare exchanges are

591
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: really all about. It is healthcare socialism. It's exactly what

592
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: people who were criticizing it, like me at the time,

593
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: said it would be. But then you add to that illegals.

594
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: You add to that the millions and millions of people

595
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: who have come into this country who are illegal aliens,

596
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: who are also getting healthcare now in something like emergency

597
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: room care. You've seen New York City with its surge

598
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: of migrants. In twenty twenty four, thirty percent of emergency

599
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 1: room visits were illegals because they just use it as Okay,

600
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: now I have a toothache, I go to the er.

601
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: I need prescription glasses. I go to the er and

602
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: they don't pay anything, and no one thinks they're going

603
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: to pay anything. So that's one part of this, right,

604
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: But the way it works is even more complicated and

605
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: more nefarious, I would say, than just you having to

606
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: shoulder the burden of people coming into this country and

607
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: making the because the money comes from somewhere, right, someone

608
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: is paying for all these illegals. Oh and you also

609
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: pay for it with your time. If you try to

610
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: go to and this is true of cities across the country.

611
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: If you try to go to the emergency room for

612
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: an emergency, I know, they say they do triage, but

613
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 1: they're overwhelmed. They got doctors, and you know, yeah, maybe

614
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: you get seen before the illegals if you've got like

615
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: a you know, a stake knife in your shoulder when

616
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: you come in. But if you go in there and

617
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: you know you're having a problem, you want to get

618
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,439
Speaker 1: seen quickly, and it's not like immediate life or death.

619
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: You got a whole bunch of illegals who are in there,

620
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: who are also being seen, who are being seen ahead

621
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: of you, and they're using it, like I said, for

622
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: non emergency care. But then you look at what happens

623
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: in say California, New York, where they do give they

624
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: do give health care to illegals as part of their

625
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: state programs. Well, then what California does is find every

626
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: creative way possible to make the federal government pay more

627
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: health care funds into the state of California, which are

628
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: then fungible, which then California uses to cover illegals. This

629
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: is the game. And they say, oh, but none of

630
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: these Obamacare dollars go to illegals. Okay, but California, the

631
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: state of California has a budget. It has money that

632
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: it spends. And if California is spending money covering illegals

633
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: and also taking federal dollars to shore up whatever wild

634
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: spending spreees it's going on with healthcare generally, guess what

635
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: this is like. When they used to say, remember one

636
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: of the big lies about planned parenthood, with its decades

637
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: of murdering babies in the womb, planned paranoid, it was, oh, well,

638
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 1: none of the dollars will go remember the High Demendment.

639
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: None of the dollars will go toward abortion, only go

640
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: toward women's healthcare. If I tell you, hey, you're running,

641
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: you need money for your household budget, I'm going to

642
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: give you one thousand dollars a month, but only for food.

643
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: You can't use it for gas. Well, if I'm giving

644
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: you one thousand dollars, what difference does it make. I'm

645
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: giving you one thousand dollars, right, whatever, The money that

646
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: you were going to be spending on food can now

647
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: be used for gas. This is how they play the

648
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: game of giving illegals healthcare coverage. And this is why

649
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: Democrats are fighting so hard on this issue and why

650
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: people like Elizabeth Warren so upsehut, he's just shaking her fist.

651
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: Here's is when CBS asks her if Democrats want to

652
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: provide healthcare to non citizens, this is cut to listen

653
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: to what Senator Warren, when she goes on the war path,

654
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: she's scary. Listen to what she has to say. Publicans say,

655
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: what you're really fighting for is taxpayer dollars for, as

656
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: they put it, illegal aliens.

657
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 6: I know that's not strictly true, but there is a provision.

658
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 10: Excuse me, not strictly it's not true, but out lie.

659
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 10: It is a flat out.

660
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 6: Lie the way that they frame it.

661
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 10: In Medicaid. There is nothing in Medicare that permits one

662
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 10: undocumented immigrant to get one dollar of assistance.

663
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: But they get it. And now they've already admitted that

664
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 1: it does happen, they just say it doesn't happen. It's

665
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 1: the classic Democrat sliding scale. It's not happening, you're lying. Okay,

666
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: it's happening, but it's not happening that much. You know

667
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: where they'll eventually be as people see more than numbers. Okay,

668
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: it's happening, and it's a good thing. Shut your face.

669
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: Why are you such a racist? That's where we're headed,

670
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: you know. But Elizabeth Warren fired up there, Someone better

671
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: hands her a piece pipe. Very upset, very unhappy with this.

672
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 1: But people are sick of Remember, our healthcare has gotten

673
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: more expensive and worse, and illegals are getting health care

674
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: at a whole bunch of ways, and you are paying

675
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: for it, and your children and your grandchildren will be

676
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: paying for it, and that's wrong. We should not be

677
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 1: the soup kitchen and emergency room for the entire world's poor.

678
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: And that's what we are right now. And it's not fair,

679
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: it's not right. We have Americans who need help. We

680
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: have Americans who are struggling. We have Americans who can't

681
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 1: pay their bills and are behind and have unaffordable bills

682
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: from doctors and emergency rooms. Oh, but they're expected to

683
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: pay them, unlike the illegals. So Trump is on this

684
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: fight and should be, and it's the right way to go.

685
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 6: All right.

686
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 1: Look, here's good news for you. If you're a gold owner.

687
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: Gold is up around forty seven percent this year. That's

688
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: not speculation, that's reality. And if a portion of your

689
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing out on a

690
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: very good buying opportunity. When there's instability in the markets

691
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 1: or there's conflict in the world, investors turn to gold.

692
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: That might be two reasons why gold has seen such

693
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: a price increase and will continue to grow in value.

694
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: And central banks are flocking to gold, which is part

695
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 1: of why these prices are at record highs. You can

696
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: still get in the door now on this opportunity. Birch

697
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or four

698

Speaker 1: Speaker of the House, Speaker Johnson is with us now.

711
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: Mister Speaker, appreciate you making the time we can discuss

712
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: some shutdown and other issues.

713
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 6: Buck great to be with you. I look forward to

714
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 6: that interview. That's timely stuff with Taiwan. We watch it

715
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 6: very closely, so I'm glad you got to go over

716
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 6: there and see it first.

717
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: An thank you. Yeah, please do listen in. He had

718
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: a I asked him, I said, what's your message directly

719
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 1: to President Trump? People should know that we don't have

720
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: an embassy there. We don't have direct high level meetings

721
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: with the government of Taiwan. So getting the word around

722
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: I think is really important because things are heating up

723
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: with China. But in the meantime, mister Speaker, just bring

724
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: us up to the latest here on are we calling

725
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: it the Schumer shutdown? I am, but what's the latest

726
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: on this government shutdown? What's happening?

727
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 6: Yeah? I wish there were more developments to report, but

728
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 6: we're stuck at a stalemate. It is the Schumer Democrat shutdown.

729
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 6: And I did a little press conference this morning, just

730
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 6: trying to lay out once again reiterating the simple truths.

731
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 6: I mean, the truth has been obscured by all these Democrats.

732
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 6: They're relentless efforts at spinning what everybody knows to be true.

733
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 6: I mean, look, this is a clean, continuing resolution, and

734
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 6: what we mean by that is there's no part of provisions,

735
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,479
Speaker 6: and it no tricks, no gimmicks. We're just simply trying

736
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 6: to keep the lights on. Because as we were going

737
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 6: through the appropriations process, we ran out of clock because

738
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 6: the end of the fiscal year September thirtieth and not

739
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 6: the end of the calendar year at December thirty one,

740
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 6: so we needed more time. And Chuck Schumer's always been

741
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 6: a champion of the ars. He never wanted to shut

742
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 6: down the government because he knows how dangerous it is.

743
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 6: And I mean, but roll the tape. I mean, he

744
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 6: gave the most impassioned speeches on this very subject in

745
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 6: March of this year. This is like six months ago.

746
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 6: But something changed, and I'm trying to point out to

747
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,919
Speaker 6: everybody this is very simple. It comes down to Chuck

748
00:44:58,920 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 6: covering his own tail.

749
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: All right, Well, so let's there's the politics of this

750
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: for Schumer, which because I want to talk about healthcare

751
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: piece too. But your friend on the Republican side of

752
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: the Senate, Senator Cruz brought this up that there is

753
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: some specific political calculation here for Chuck Schumer. Can you

754
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: just elucidate elaborate on that a little bit.

755
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 6: I'll elaborate as briefly as I can, because it's pretty simple. Look,

756
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 6: Chuck Schumer is a far left progressive politician. Everybody knows

757
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 6: that he's been in Congress for forty four years. Brother,

758
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 6: at most of our lives, right, he's been serving here,

759
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 6: But it's.

760
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: Actually longer than I've been alive, mister speaker.

761
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 6: But yeah, there you go, all right, Yeah, I was

762
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 6: gonna all right, all right, so I'm giving myself a

763
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 6: little credit here, But look, all of your life he's

764
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 6: been here, Okay, But he is yesterday's news. He's the

765
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 6: last generation of leadership. He's seventy four years old now,

766
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 6: and he's no longer the cool kid. Here's the problem,

767
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 6: Chuck Schumer has, plain and simple, the Marxister now running

768
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 6: New York. That's his state. They're about to elect Mom Damie,

769
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 6: an open Marxist, to be the mayor of America's largest city.

770
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 6: Cheff Schumer is terrified by that because he knows that

771
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 6: he's going to get a challenge from his left and

772
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 6: his next Senate reelection bid, and that's probably could be

773
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 6: AOC or somebody else, but it's almost a guarantee at

774
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 6: this point, and he's almost guaranteed to lose. So he's

775
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 6: got to show a fight against Trump. They didn't have

776
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 6: any fight to show because again, we have a clean

777
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 6: fe r to keep the government open. So they concocted

778
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 6: this faux issue. They're trying to argue that this is

779
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 6: suddenly a debate about healthcare. Never was. This is about

780
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 6: simple funding, a simple funding measure. The healthcare debate is

781
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 6: for the three months ahead of us going into the

782
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 6: end of the year. That's the calculation. All this, all

783
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 6: the pain inflicted upon the American people, is to cover

784
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,720
Speaker 6: one guy's political future. And his name is Chuff Schumer,

785
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 6: and he happens to leave the Democrats in the Senate.

786
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: Now we've got that political piece of this. Can you

787
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: dive a little more into the the healthcare for illegals

788
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: debate that has just been all over and I was

789
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: on the other side of the world and trying to

790
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: follow it from from Taiwan last week. But this has

791
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: been a major issue. Democrats seem to be taking multiple

792
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: positions at the same time on it. Oh, it never happens.

793
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: It only happens a little bit. It happens sometimes, but

794
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. What is the truth about the

795
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: concerns that illegal immigrants, legal aliens in this country are accessing,

796
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: even indirectly, federal dollars for healthcare?

797
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 6: Thank you. There's a couple of very important facts that

798
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 6: are irrefutable, and I laid them out in my prescotte

799
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 6: this morning. That's all on social media. But here's the thing. Okay,

800
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 6: the Democrats have been wanting to give taxpayer funded benefits

801
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 6: to illegals, and they actually did it. We know that.

802
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 6: Go back to rerund to twenty twenty, to the presidential

803
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 6: debate stage when everybody was trying to get the Democrat nomination,

804
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 6: and they asked all of them in that debate, raise

805
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 6: your hand if you would like to give taxpayer funded

806
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 6: benefits and healthcare to illegal aliens. Every single Democrat candidate

807
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 6: on the stage raised their hand, including Joe Biden and

808
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 6: Kamala Harris. So when they got elected, they did that

809
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 6: for four years. They used all the forces of the

810
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 6: government and they expanded all these programs to illegals. We

811
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 6: fixed it, Buck, We passed the one big beautiful bill.

812
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 6: Republicans got control and last November of Congress and we

813
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 6: pushed through the American the Working Family's tax cuts. Okay,

814
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 6: And in that bill, we reversed all that nonsense. We

815
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 6: took the health care benefits away from illegals. It was

816
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,240
Speaker 6: never intended. Medicaid was never intended for non US citizens,

817
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 6: and we fixed it. So what Chuck Schumer did, because

818
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 6: remember they needed a political issue now it's a fight

819
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 6: of her healthcare. They fought this monstrosity of a counterproposal

820
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 6: just to keep the lights on, just to keep the

821
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 6: government open. They are demanding now that we spend one

822
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 6: point five trillion dollars of additional taxpayer funds on big

823
00:48:55,360 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 6: liberal priorities. Included in that is reversing the chain as

824
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 6: we made and restoring taxpayer funded healthcare to illegal aliens.

825
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 6: In fact, it is a fact. Go to the website

826
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 6: Speaker dot gov. Pull it up for yourself. Don't take

827
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 6: my words for it. Go look at Chuck Schimbers document

828
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,240
Speaker 6: that he filed in the Congressional record. We have highlighted

829
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 6: their page fifty seven Sestion twenty one forty one that

830
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:21,439
Speaker 6: does exactly what I just said.

831
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 1: Now, can you just explain this. We're speaking to a

832
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House Johnson here. How does that mechanism work?

833
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 1: As in, what is the process through which illegals are

834
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: accessing federal dollars for their healthcare? Or how is the

835
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: state playing budgetary games in this case, states like California

836
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: and New York in order to give illegal aliens healthcare

837
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 1: that is funded in some way by the federal government.

838
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 6: Well, there's a number of ways that's done. And it's

839
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 6: a great question, and there is an exhibit right there

840
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 6: on that website speaker dot gov that shows you this

841
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 6: in a simple chart. Okay, the Democrat Continuing Resolution Chuck

842
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 6: Schumer's gambit here would spend nearly two hundred billion dollars

843
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 6: of American taxpayer funds on healthcare subsidies for illegal immigrants

844
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 6: and other non citizens. And what are we talking about.

845
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 6: There's six specific ways they do it. We reversed them

846
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 6: all in the Working Families Tax God Act, the one

847
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,399
Speaker 6: big beautiful bill. And the quick summary of what they

848
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 6: are is we in our bill, we ended medicaid funding

849
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 6: for most non citizens. That's about six point two billion

850
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 6: dollars in savings. We ended the emergency care for illegal

851
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 6: aliens that had been expanded. Believe it or not, California,

852
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 6: for example, expanded Medicaid to cover able bodied illegal alien adults,

853
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 6: and in the process of all this, we call that

854
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 6: the California loophole. We ended that they also were literally

855
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 6: hospitals were being reimbursed more for treating illegal aliens in

856
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 6: an emergency room than American citizens, but while pregnant and

857
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 6: American single women. I mean, it's it's just madness. Okay.

858
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 6: We took all that out. We reversed the fraud, waste,

859
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 6: abuse in Medicaid, Medicare, Obamacare funding for most non citizens,

860
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 6: these special rules they put in, and Obamacare for immigrants.

861
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 6: You add it all up, it's one hundred and ninety

862
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 6: two point eight billion dollars. Okay. We reversed that into

863
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 6: big beautiful bill and check Schimmer on phase fifty seven

864
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 6: of his counterproposal c R would reverse all of it.

865
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 6: It's a fact. They can't refute it. Not a single

866
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 6: one of them have done it on TV or radio anywhere.

867
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 6: They cannot. As John Adam said, facts are suborn things.

868
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,720
Speaker 1: And yet here we are. What are we six days

869
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: into this shutdown? Seven six days something like that? What

870
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: is yours? Yeah, what is your sense, mister speaker for

871
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: where this is going? And also can you speak to

872
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 1: mister speaker the possibility of not just furloughs, but some

873
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: trimmed federal jobs as a result of this shutdown. Where

874
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: does that? Where does that lie?

875
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 6: Well, there's two good and important questions I think with

876
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 6: regard to when does this end? As soon as we

877
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 6: get a handful, we need five or six additional Democrats

878
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 6: in the Senate to come to their senses and stop

879
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 6: the madness. They've always voted for CRS in the past.

880
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 6: They need to recognize real Americans being hurt here. I

881
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 6: reminded everybody in the press commerce this morning. I said,

882
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 6: basic civics. You'll remember, we don't have enough Republican votes

883
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 6: to get out of this mess, because you need sixty

884
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 6: votes in the Senate. Our problem is we only have

885
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,399
Speaker 6: fifty three Republicans there. So you've got to have Democrats

886
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 6: that get off of this plank that they've walked themselves

887
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 6: on and do the right thing for the people. So

888
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 6: we'll see it goes probably at least another week. They've

889
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 6: painted themselves into a corner. But with regard to the

890
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 6: real pain, brother, real.

891
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: Mister speaker, hold on a sec did you move somewhere

892
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: because our cell are We had a beautiful, beautiful crystal

893
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: clear cell connection and then it got a little bit

894
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: a little bit funky there for a second, so I

895
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: could get you to either step to the other side

896
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: of your office wherever you were, hopefully maybe the connection

897
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: will just clear up. Go for it.

898
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, is that a little better?

899
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: Yes, it is. There we go crystal clear. Keep going.

900
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 6: Okay, I think it's the Russians. They're securing our thing

901
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 6: from the capitol here, so listen. So here's the deal.

902
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 6: We're in this situation and it's causing real pain to

903
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 6: real American people. You're talking about you know, infant women,

904
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 6: infants and children that have their nutrition subsidies, their supplemental

905
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 6: nutrition being halted. Right now. You've got health services to veterans,

906
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 6: You've got our troops and our border patrol agents and TSA.

907
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 6: They're all working to protect Americans with no pay right now.

908
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 6: I mean, it just goes on and on and on,

909
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 6: so real pain by real people. The question is how

910
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 6: long are the Senate Democrats going to allow this to

911
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 6: go on? And you know, among all those those pain points,

912
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 6: there's a lot of things involved. Now you talked about

913
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 6: the furlough of federal workers, Russ vote. Our good friend

914
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 6: runs the Office of Management and Budget and the Trump administration.

915
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 6: His job is to scale down the government because Chuck

916
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 6: Schumer decided to turn off the funding streams. He has

917
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 6: an choice in the matter. He takes no pleasure in it,

918
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 6: but he has to sit down and evaluate everything the

919
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 6: federal government does and Trio you right, You've got to

920
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 6: determine what are the most essential services, policy personnel that

921
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,800
