Speaking of action this week, and 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: I'll be out training in undisclosed location through some firearms 10 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: trading with a former SILKEAM six operator. So looking forward 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: to that. I'll tell you all about it when I 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: get back. I'm going with my brothers, kind of a 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: guy's training trip. Before I am being trained to burp 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: a tiny baby and put diapers on. So this weekend 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: running around in the shoot house clearing rooms. In a 16 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: few weekends, I'm on diaper change duty for all long time. 17 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: So there we go. Exciting things happening in my world, 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: Exciting things happening across the country and around the world too. 19 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: I want to dive into it. Speak you know what, 20 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: let's have some funks. It's Friday, speaking of the world. 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: There's a little place, it's actually giant, not little, a 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: place called Greenland. Now, you may have not heard very 23 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: much about it until Donald Trump came along. Perhaps you've 24 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: been told the old story that they called it Iceland 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: even though it had far less ice, and Greenland even 26 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: though it had far less green, kind of mixing things 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: up for people. I don't even I think that's an 28 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: urban legend. But whatever that, people say that about it. 29 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: And Trump is not backing away from this one on Greenland. 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: He's happened quite a week. This has cut one talking 31 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: about this large island that he thinks should be our island. 32 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: Play it. 33 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: We really need Greenland for national security. It's very important. 34 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: You know. We have a couple of bases on Greenland already, 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: and we have quite a few soldiers and maybe you'll 36 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: see more and more soldiers go there. And I don't know, 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: what do you think about that beat? 38 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: So don't answer to that pace don't. 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: We have we have bases that we have quite a 40 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: few soldiers in Greenland. 41 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: Look, it's not a crazy idea. We're not going We're 42 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: not going to invade. And people say stuff like that, 43 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: Give me a break. It's you know, get a sense 44 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: of humor, But why shouldn't we think more about this? 45 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: You know, if Guam can be accepted by everybody as 46 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: a US territory in the middle of nowhere in the 47 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: South Pacific, and it's a it's an important US territory 48 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: by the way, for strategic reasons, we all know, why 49 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: why can't Greenland possibly be in the mix if they 50 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: agree to it. Trump pointed this one out. He said, look, Denmark, 51 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,119 Speaker 1: which is currently administering Greenland, what does that even really mean? 52 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: Denmark is not exactly next door, So maybe this makes 53 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 1: more sense than people are willing to think the first 54 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: time around. Plate two. 55 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, ships all over the place, and we have to 56 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 2: have protection. 57 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to make a deal. 58 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: On that, and Denmark is not able to do that. 59 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: You know, Denmark's very far away and really has nothing 60 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: to do. What happens a boat landed that two hundred 61 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: years ago or something, and they say they have rights 62 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 2: to it. I don't know if that's true. I don't 63 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 2: think it is actually, But we've been dealing with Denmark, 64 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 2: we've been dealing with Greenland, and we have to do it. 65 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: We really needed finational security, and I think that's why 66 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: NATO might be have to get involved. 67 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: He said, Look, it's an important strategic location. There are 68 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: very few people who live there on this giant land mass, 69 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: which is a lot of glaciers and ice, but there's 70 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: land too, and there's a lot of minerals and resources 71 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: when you get under that ice. But also given the 72 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: increasing focus on the race to the Arctic that is 73 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: been underway for a long time but is heating up 74 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: more these days, it makes some sense. So this is 75 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: not a crazy idea Canada the fifty first state. That's 76 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: not going to happen. He's trolling you, and I know 77 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: we speak Trump, we know when he's serious. The Greenland thing, 78 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: I don't think is likely, but it is not impossible. 79 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: And we'll see how much time and focus he wants 80 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: to put on this. If you look at I just 81 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: take a little step back for some historical perspective, If 82 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: you look at some of the best moves made by 83 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:39,239 Speaker 1: any American statesman in the history of our country, really 84 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: they were land purchases, and you know, bringing land into 85 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: these United States. Louisiana purchased greatest land deal I think 86 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: of all time. Even Trump would be like better than 87 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: any of my land deals is the greatest land deal 88 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: of all time. And then of course other things. Alaska 89 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: Seward's icebox, they called it. Turned out he was pretty smart, 90 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: and other places, other territories that we've picked up along 91 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: the way. You know, this is it's something to think 92 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: about it. It's just we're having a little fun on 93 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: our Friday, all right. You want to get into the 94 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: really important stuff. You joined me for the really important 95 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: Stufflet's get into the really importance. So first of all, 96 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: Senate Majority, I'm sorry, Senate Democrat leader, not majority leader. 97 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer is saying that he is 98 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: going to vote to keep the government open. And he's 99 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: he's getting a lot of heat from his own side 100 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: on this one, but he understands the direction the wind 101 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: is blowing in right now. Politically. Let's hear cut ten. 102 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: Here's Chuck Schumer telling everybody that, look, we got to 103 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: avoid the shutdown place. 104 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: I supported what the House did to vote against this 105 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 3: bill universally, but that didn't cause a shutdown. It's a 106 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 3: different it's different in the Senate. And I knew people 107 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 3: were going to disagree with me, but I felt so 108 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 3: strongly that the shutdown would be the greatest disaster we 109 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 3: face with these arrogant, arrogant autocrats, that we had to 110 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: avoid the shutdown and fight on many of the other things, 111 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 3: every other issue that we had. 112 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: He's saying, look, this is the thing we got to 113 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: do here. I don't like it, but this is where 114 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 1: we are. We got to keep the government open, because 115 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: he knows that the American people have seen enough of 116 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: Democrats saying, how dare you even consider shutting down the government. 117 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: You can't do that, you can't do that, And now 118 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: they're going to try to turn around and play it 119 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: on the other side. AOC who has the advantage of 120 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: not having to do to do politics, but really to 121 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: do social media. 122 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 4: Right. 123 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: She doesn't have to pass legislation, she doesn't have to 124 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: think about bills and laws. She just has to do 125 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: like Instagram videos and like tweet and go on MSNBC 126 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: even though no one's watching. And she is very upset 127 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: about humor backing down and being willing to back the 128 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: GOP bill. This is eleven hit it. 129 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 5: This Republican extreme spending bill removes all of the guardrails 130 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,239 Speaker 5: and all of the accountability measures to ensure that money 131 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 5: is being spent in the way that Congress has directed 132 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 5: for it to be spent. This turns the federal government 133 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 5: into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. 134 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 5: It sacrifices congressional authority, and it is deeply partisan. And 135 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 5: so to me, it is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats 136 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 5: would vote to hand the few pieces of leverage that 137 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 5: we have away for free when we've been sent here 138 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 5: to protect Social Security, protect Medicaid, and protect Medicare. 139 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: Elections have consequences, AOC. That's really the problem here in 140 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: the minority. The last election, the American people spoke loudly 141 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: and clearly about which party they want to be in control, 142 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: and the GEO is going forward with the agenda. So 143 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: I think this is a very good thing. I think 144 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: this is something well. If there had been a shutdown, 145 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: Tchumor would have gotten the blame for it. The Democrats 146 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: would have been even more messed up than they are. 147 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: Is that even really possible? My old this cut seventeen, 148 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: My old table mate at Real News, se cup, old 149 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: friend of mine. She's even saying on CNN and she 150 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: like the Democrats total mess right now play it. 151 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 6: It is shocking how Democrats have not figured out what 152 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 6: is coming down the pike. It is March, you know 153 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 6: the spending fight is coming, and you know Republicans have 154 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,599 Speaker 6: a majority. I don't understand for all the chaos on 155 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 6: the right. Democrats are a mess. They haven't figured out. 156 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 6: It's not how they're gonna fight Donald Trump yet, they 157 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 6: haven't even figured out if they're gonna fight Donald Trump's agenda. 158 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 6: They've got to get it together and get on the 159 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 6: same page and figure out a roadmap go because the 160 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 6: chas is going to be daily, there's going to be 161 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 6: incoming for months, and they are not on the same 162 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 6: page at all. 163 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 5: That's clear. 164 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, they got nothing right. I mean I did. I 165 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: don't think the Republicans are in chaos at all. Really. 166 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: I think that this administration is operating as close to 167 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: a Swiss watch as anyone could imagine, given the scope 168 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: of what they're trying to accomplish. And part of the 169 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: strategy is everything everywhere, all at once, and it's working 170 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: because Democrats are in complete disarray, a total mess. They 171 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: don't know what to do, so much so that some 172 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: of them are calling in sick and I'm not exaggerating, 173 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: or maybe they're calling in for a vacation. Here is 174 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: MSNBC's This is twenty four MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell. He just 175 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: can't handle it anymore. Democrats are getting the butts kicked 176 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: so badly. He's taking a vacation because he just they 177 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: we've broken and play it. 178 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 7: Well, here's the thing. This is day fifty two. I 179 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 7: thought it was day nine. It turns out it's day 180 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 7: fifty two, Rachel. And I'm exhausted at day fifty two. 181 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 7: And so I I'm gonna take next week off. And 182 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 7: I'm telling you that now because I know you don't 183 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 7: like it when I just drift away and I don't, 184 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 7: but just taking next week off then then I could 185 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 7: come back. 186 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: Honestly, the smart Democrat pundits right now should probably all 187 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: take a vacation for a week or five or more 188 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: because they just have absolutely no way of opposing, slowing down, 189 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: or doing anything to stop the Trump agenda, with the 190 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: exception of we're going to get into this. These judges, 191 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: the judges are a big problem right now, these universal injunctions. 192 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: It is unconstitutional, it is overreach, it is madness. So 193 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: that's MSNBC. The pundits, the media apparatus of the Democrats 194 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: all completely I would say, largely irrelevant at this point. 195 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: That don't really they'll come back, I know, but right 196 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: now they are. It's like they're all on vacation, or 197 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: they'd be better off if they were all on vacation 198 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: because they can't make sound arguments. They look like deer 199 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: in the headlights. But they're relying a lot. The Democrats 200 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: are relying almost entirely on the activist judges, all Obama 201 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: and Biden appointees, these activist federal judges who are just 202 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: overriding and overruling presidential prerogative on a regular basis. Now, 203 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: this is a central fight for the Trump administration and 204 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: really for the country, because you're seeing this tested in 205 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: a variety of ways. If the President of the United 206 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: States isn't really the CEO of the executive branch, meaning 207 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: that he can fire people, he can make changes to personnel, 208 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: then where is what's the point of the election? If 209 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: they're on autopilot. If Congress gets to say, here's this thing, 210 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: no one's in charge of it, but we funded it, 211 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: and no one can make any changes to it in 212 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: the executive branch, it's on some weird autopilot swamp tour. 213 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: Why do we have elections? What is the purpose of 214 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: going through the billions of dollars spent for this last 215 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: election cycle? If DC runs itself, essentially, it's just endless 216 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: funding from Congress, hurtling us over the cliff of fiscal insanity, 217 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: and anyone who tries to stop it is told, no, 218 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to stop it. The system is self aware. 219 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: The system is Skynet from terminator, and it will destroy 220 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: us all before you're allowed to do anything to it. 221 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: This is a big deal, and I'll get it to 222 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: some of the specifics of this here coming up in 223 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: just a moment. While violence against the Jewish people continues 224 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: in Israel and the rest of the Middle East, our 225 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: Christian brothers and sisters in the region are also under attack. 226 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: Hundreds of Syrian Christians have and brutally killed in the 227 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: past week. Entire families, including women and children, are being slaughtered. 228 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: Israel is the Middle East's only democracy, but it's also 229 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: the only nation in the region with a growing Christian population. 230 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: Israeli Christians are free to worship in the Holy Land, 231 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: but persecution against Christians throughout the Middle East continues. To grow. 232 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews stands with Christians 233 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: in Syria as well as our Christian brothers and sisters 234 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: throughout the Middle East.

I had mentioned this 247 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: in the discussion we had with the White House Deputy 248 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: Press Secretary and Kelly. There's all this reporting out there 249 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: from various news outlets about Trump invoking the Alien Enemies 250 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: Act of seventeen ninety eight to carry out deportations to Guantanamo. 251 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: Let me read you a little bit of this because 252 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: I read it and I say, sounds like a great idea. 253 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: This is from CBS News. President Trump is planning to 254 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: invoke a wartime law known as the Alien Enemies Act 255 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: of seventeen ninety eight as soon as Friday, meaning today, 256 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: to authorize the summary deportation of some migrants, including to 257 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: Guantanamo Bay, escalating his government wide immigration crackdown. Multiple US 258 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: officials familiar with the plant told CBS News the two 259 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven year old law gives presidents the 260 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: extraordinary power to order the arrest, detention, and deportation of 261 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: non citizens who are fourteen years or older and come 262 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: from countries staging an invasion or predatory incursion of the US. 263 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: Mister Trump is expected to cite the eighteenth century statute 264 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: to order these swift attention and deportation of suspected members 265 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: of the Trende Aragua, a Venezuelan gang with prison origins 266 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: that his administration has designated a foreign terrorist organization. Officials 267 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: have made preparations to send suspected gang members to the 268 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, soon after mister 269 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: Trump invokes the Alien Enemies Act. At mister Trump's direction, 270 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: officials have been detaining some migrants awaiting deportation at the 271 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: naval base, though the wholding facilities were left empty earlier 272 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: this week. Okay, those subject to the Alien Enemies Act 273 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: would not be allowed to have a cord hearing or 274 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: an asylum interview, as they would be processed under an 275 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: emergency wartime authority. They would be eligible to be detained 276 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: and deported with little to no do process under Title fifty. 277 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: Sounds great to me. What's the problem? It's a presidential authority. 278 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: Notice how they have to report this in such a 279 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: way that this is on the book. Still, this is 280 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: on the book. Still the president still has this power. Now, 281 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: I want to compare the way that CBS. That's why 282 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: I want to give you the background of that, but 283 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: also the way CBS this eighteenth century statute. Do you 284 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: think CBS was doing that kind of massaging of the 285 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: issue when they were using the Logan Act as a 286 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: pretext to go after General Flynn as the incoming Trump 287 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: national security advisor. No, right, the Logan Act was suddenly 288 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: very important to all these anti Trump voices in the media. Oh, 289 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: the Logan Act. Meanwhile, in its two hundred plus years 290 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: of existence, it has never once been used to prosecute 291 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: anybody successfully and put them in prison. I think there 292 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: have been a couple of times it was even used 293 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: to bring charges. No one ever convicted. The law is 294 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: just kind of an old, dusty law that no one 295 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: takes seriously until you have to jam up somebody in 296 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: Trump world, and then you pretend, and then you're James Comy, 297 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: sank to Comy, and you use it to spring a 298 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: trap on the incoming National security Advisor. One of the 299 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: dirtiest download things, one of the worst things they did 300 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: to Trump in that first administration. Pretend it had the 301 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: FBI director pretend that a phone call between the Russian 302 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: ambassador and the incoming National security advisor for a new 303 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: administration is some kind of huge national security concerned and 304 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: he's running his own foreign policy when you look back 305 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: at that. But Comy's a bad guy. He's just a 306 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: bad guy. And I know that's not a surprise to you. 307 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: You know that too, But who does that to be 308 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: the FBI director and abuse your power in that way. Well, 309 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: thankfully we've got Cash Battel as director and now Dan 310 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: Bongino as deputy director, and things are going to get 311 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: cleaned up and be a whole lot better than they were. 312 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: But the invoking of the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen 313 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: ninety eight. This will be interesting because it is on 314 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: the books. The President has designated groups that are transnational 315 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: narco terrorist organizations like Trenda Ragua as a foreign terrorist organization. 316 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: So if you are part of a foreign terrorist organization, 317 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: if you were part of Al Qaeda, wouldn't you be 318 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: able to be deported back to your country of origin 319 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: under this law? It was used in the past. The 320 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: government used it to surveill and detain Italian, German, and 321 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: Japanese immigrants in World War Two. So the invocation to 322 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: target migrants from countries which US is not actively at 323 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: war as almost certain to face legal challenges. They're saying, okay, well, 324 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: so that means that a terrorist entity operating in the US, 325 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: because we're not at war with the country that the 326 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: terrorists are originating from, we can't send them back. We'll 327 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: see how that one goes. I think you're certain to 328 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: have some of these activist anti Trump judges shut this 329 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: down if in fact they do this. I think they're 330 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 1: going to do this. I think they're preparing to do this. 331 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: I think that they're going to use the Guantanamo facility 332 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: and this is one of those things where they should 333 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: just do it and do as much of it as 334 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: they can. And we start to get to this place 335 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: where how long does the executive branch listen to one 336 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: random federal judge somewhere in overriding policy. You'll note that 337 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: Trump in the first administration, every time, even when it 338 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: was the most obvious bad faith judicial overreach, every time 339 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: there was any kind of a challenge the administration from 340 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: a federal judge, you know what they did. You know 341 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: what Trump did, The tyrant, the authoritarian hitler said okay, 342 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: we'll see you in court. And that's where he completely 343 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: abided by the system at every turn, even when the 344 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: other side was using the system in bad faith to 345 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: just slow him down. They knew they were going to 346 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: get overturned on a bunch of the things that they 347 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: and they did. They are the so called Muslim ban, right, 348 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: and then they Trump ended up winning on that. Oh 349 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: he can't do that wasn't a Muslim ban, but whatever. 350 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 1: They just don't want him to be able to do anything. 351 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: And that's the operating authority, or that's the operating ideology, 352 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: and they just abuse their authority to that end. That 353 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: is absolutely what we see happening here. So yeah, the 354 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight. I think this 355 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: would be a strong move because you have to use 356 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: the authorities that the government, the executive branch already has 357 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: to the absolute maximum. If you're going to wait around 358 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: for Congress to work together on some of this stuff, 359 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: it's never going to happen. And that's what Democrats want. 360 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: They want the continued destruction, the erosion and eventual destruction 361 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: of our national sovereignty through endless violations of our borders, 362 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: endless violations of our immigration laws. And they don't want 363 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: to protect the American people and the American citizens specifically 364 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: from the predations of groups like MS thirteen and trend Aragua. 365 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: They won't do it. It's in their power to do it, 366 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: just like it was in Joe Biden's power to shut 367 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: down crossings at the border, obviously because Donald Trump has 368 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: done it, but Biden wouldn't use the authority that he had. Right. 369 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: It's a bit like if you have a sheriff in 370 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: your town, and the sheriff has the right to arrest 371 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: people for whatever it may be. If a sheriff just 372 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: chooses not to arrest anybody. You don't need a new law, 373 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: you just need a new sheriff. Well, there's a new 374 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: sheriff in town now. His name is Donald Trump. Also, 375 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: want to get to the situation of NATO here for 376 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: a moment, because the the if the Russia Ukraine War 377 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: is able to be brought to a ceasefire by Donald Trump, 378 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: honestly anytime in his first year, and I mean maybe 379 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: even in his first six months in office, it will 380 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: feel almost like a miracle because there was nothing, There 381 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: was not even any movement toward this when Biden was 382 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,239 Speaker 1: in office. So you will watch, you will see this. 383 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: I want you to pay close attention to the coverage 384 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: of this at every step because ending a war and 385 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: saving a lot of lives in the process, as I 386 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: have said to you, should be something that everyone is 387 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: on board for. Every American should be on board for 388 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: that right. But no, maybe not because you know, we 389 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: have to see about the territory that's gonna end up 390 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: in which sides hands and Slava Ukrainian all this stuff. 391 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: It's really just about they don't want Trump to have 392 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: the win, as you know, they don't want Donald Trump 393 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: to be in a position where he can say, hey, 394 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: not only am I setting up a booming economy and 395 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: securing the border, I'm ending wars that Democrats blundered our 396 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: ally into with Ukraine, or at least were unable to 397 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: stop our ally from getting pulled into. And beyond that, 398 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: they really just want to make sure that Donald Trump 399 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: doesn't get the w That's it. Everything is just about 400 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: stopping him. On NATO. You'll notice that there are a 401 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: lot of people who think themselves really erudite on the 402 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: issue of national security foreign policy, and they always say 403 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: that Trump is so so destructive to NATO. This has 404 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: been a thing that has been said about him the 405 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: whole time. Well, no, maybe he just sees a system 406 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: that isn't operating the way that it should, and he's 407 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: these member countries that aren't taking the actions that they 408 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: have agreed to take to uphold their end of the bargain. 409 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta had this to say, this 410 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: has cut four about what Donald Trump has been able 411 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: to do in just the last few weeks. Listen in 412 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: I must say. 413 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 4: Tream forty five, you basically you originated effects that in 414 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 4: Europe you're not spending when you take it to aggregate 415 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 4: seven hundred billion more even defense than when you came 416 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 4: in office in twenty six and twenty seventy. But that 417 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 4: was TREAM forty five. But then when you look at 418 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 4: stream forty seven, to be art, what's happened in the 419 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 4: last couple of weeks is le League secondary Europeans committing 420 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 4: to a package of eight hundred billion defense spending. The 421 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 4: Germans now are potentially up to half a trillion next 422 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 4: time defense spending. And then of course you had kid 423 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 4: starming here, the British Prime Minister and others all committing 424 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 4: to much higher defense spending. If you're not there, you 425 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 4: need to do more. But I didn't want to work 426 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 4: to get it with you in a relative to the 427 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 4: X summer, to make sure that you will from NATO, 428 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 4: which is infigurated under your leadership. 429 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: Notice you're not hearing a lot of this in the 430 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: commentary circles the New York Times, Washington Posts, all the 431 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: rest of it. Donald Trump, in a matter of weeks 432 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: has helped bring together an eight hundred billion dollar defense 433 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: spending commitment from NATO partners in the European Union, or 434 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,959 Speaker 1: from our European partners in NATO. Eight hundred billion dollars 435 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: that wasn't going to get spent. Now it's getting spent. 436 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: He say, look, you got to up your spending. It 437 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: doesn't make Trump a bad guy or Putin's puppet or 438 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: any of this stuff for him to say that the 439 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: Europeans are allies who have promised to have sufficient spending 440 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: for their own defense. Stop free loading also off of America. 441 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: Stop saying America protect this from Russia and do it themselves. 442 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: Get ready to do it themselves more and more. That 443 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 1: is absolutely what should be happening here. You know, they 444 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: want to just fund their bloated welfare states. They can 445 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: do that on somebody else's dime, providing their defense umbrella 446 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: for them. Okay, they have to step up. He's right. 447 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: And Trump even said this. He says, look, he wants 448 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 1: us for NATO to matter, it has to be strong. 449 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: NATO can't be Oh, we can't do anything without America 450 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: because then it's not an alliance. Then it's a dependency. 451 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: This has cut three play. 452 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 2: You have to keep NATO strong, you have to keep 453 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 2: it relevant. But the biggest thing we have to worry 454 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 2: about right now is what's going on right now. I 455 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: think the rest is going to take care of itself. 456 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: I don't see this. 457 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: This was a flu. 458 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 2: This was something that if we had a competent president, 459 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 2: it would not have happened. The man was grossly incompetent. 460 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, NATO has to be strong, and Biden was grossly incompetent. 461 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: He just would glad hand and have that stupid grin 462 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: and act like he has some foreign policy knowledge that 463 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: we all needed, that needed to be imparted upon all 464 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: of us or something. Joe Biden is an absolute clown. 465 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: And that's before the dementia kicked in, and his entire 466 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: record on foreign policy and his record visa v our allies. 467 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: They always say this, our allies are so worried about Trump, 468 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: and then you actually get to sit and talk to 469 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: some of the allies, they go, no, he's right. We 470 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 1: do need we do need European nations to be more 471 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: capable of defending themselves. The notion that oh, if we 472 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: don't keep backing Ukraine forever, Russia is going to roll 473 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: over all of the all of the European countries militarily 474 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: is going to roll tanks through Germany and Poland, and 475 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: that's one insane. It's not gonna happen. But two, if 476 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: that were true, you know what should happen. Europe should 477 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,479 Speaker 1: get its act together and be able to stop Russia 478 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: from doing that. They've got hundreds of millions more people 479 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: and a heck of a lot more money, so you know, 480 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: it shouldn't all fall on us. This is just Trump 481 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: applying common sense to big problems in the world, and 482 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: it's not common. If you hear the DC commentary, it's 483 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: crazy stuff. Okay. Look for a lot of people, the 484 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: end of the week is a time to celebrate with 485 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: a great meal. You know what I had last night? 486 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 1: True story, Kerry and I actually had burger night here 487 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: and the burgers are from our friends at Good Ranchers. 488 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: Absolutely delicious.

And then you put a 492 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: little bit of cheese on top and maybe a little 493 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: bit more of those sauted onions. Was it was like 494 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: a burger tower of deliciousness, all from Good Ranchers. The 495 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: meat quality is so high. I'm a big red meat guy, 496 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: I eat red meat two or three times a week. Yes, 497 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: I'm on a fitness journey, but red meat is actually 498 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: good for you.

Anna. 520 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to the program. Thanks for being here with us. 521 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 5: Thanks so much. 522 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 9: Fuck, I'm so excited to be here. And that's a 523 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 9: great song you had on in the break by the way, 524 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:08,239 Speaker 9: I really enjoyed them. 525 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: Well, thank you very much. We try to have the 526 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: good tunes, the good tunes flowing. So a lot going 527 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: on this week and a lot of back and forth. Already, 528 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: Let's start with the economy tariff situation. What should everybody know? 529 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: Because if you you know, when I go to the gym, 530 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: for example, they have these different channels on. They do 531 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: have Fox onto the gym down here because I'm in 532 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: South Florida, but a lot of like the financial channels, 533 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: and it almost feels like they want everybody to panic 534 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: every time the President speaks the word tariff. What should 535 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: everyone know about the plan here and where we're trying 536 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: to go. 537 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, so I will share there are three goals for 538 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,479 Speaker 9: these cariffs, right Number one is restrictions. So we are 539 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 9: helping our domestic industries by pushing these exports, making sure 540 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 9: that American companies can send made in America goods all 541 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 9: around the world, making sure we're getting revenue for the 542 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 9: things we import. And then, most importantly is reciprocity. So 543 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 9: President Trump, finally, after decades, not just the past four years, 544 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 9: especially the past four years, but really decades of unfair 545 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 9: trading practices that have long took advantage of American farmers 546 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 9: and workers, President Trump is finally saying, look, American farmers, workers, 547 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 9: manufacturers deserve a level playing field. So these tariffs are 548 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 9: finally making sure that we are leveling the playing field, 549 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 9: enacting the same tariffs that these countries around the world 550 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 9: have imposted on us for years. This makes common sense, 551 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 9: and it makes sure that American farmers and workers are 552 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 9: able to send their goods around the world. And by 553 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 9: the way, those revenues are paying dividends. We had ten 554 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 9: thousand new manufacturing jobs last month. We have positive job 555 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 9: growth in the private sector. That's what the American people want, 556 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 9: That's what we want in this building is a strong 557 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 9: economy in the private sector that is benefiting from a 558 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 9: level playing field. 559 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: Finally, what also is is your What is the feeling 560 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: of the President and this White House on how to 561 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: handle the slew of these judicial universal injunctions that have 562 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: come down. I told everybody before you came on an 563 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: that the Biden administration had fewer of these against and 564 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: it did some very unconstitutional and just aggressive, and I 565 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: would offer unlawful things in the executive branch, but more 566 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: in one month for Trump than three years of Biden. 567 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: Is the strategy here? Just to take it to the 568 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: Supreme Court? Does the White House say that there may 569 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: be other options down down the road? What should we 570 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: know about this? 571 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 9: Well, yeah, here's what we know. You're exactly right. There 572 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 9: were fifteen efforts in February alone by these activist judges 573 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 9: who seize the president's power of specifically hiring and firing 574 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 9: from the executive branch. We in this building believe, and 575 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 9: I think the American people understand that the President has 576 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 9: the authority to exercise the power of the executive branch. 577 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 9: That means hiring people, that means firing people, and ultimately 578 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 9: that means delivering on the American people's mandates to eliminate 579 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 9: wasteful spending, to shrink our federal workers and ultimately make 580 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 9: our federal workforce more efficient. That is to the benefit 581 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 9: of Americans across the country who benefit from federal services. So, yes, 582 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 9: we have these activist judges enacting these fifteen efforts to 583 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 9: crample down on the president's authority. We believe that is unjust. 584 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 9: We believe it is unconstitutional, and we will continue to 585 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 9: fight back against their efforts to seize the power of 586 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 9: the President of the United States to run his own 587 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 9: executive branch. 588 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: We're speaking to a deputy White House Press Secretary, Anna Kelly, 589 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: and CBS News reported this a day ago. Trump to 590 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: invoke wartime Aillien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight to 591 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: carry out deportations to Guantanamo. What can you tell us 592 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: about this? 593 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 9: Well, I won't get ahead of the president's books, but 594 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 9: here is what I will say. I know there is 595 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 9: a lot of talk in the mainstream media about suddenly 596 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 9: they are concerned about mass deportation and the pace of that. 597 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 9: Guess what, we actually just found out recently that Biden 598 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 9: was fudging his numbers on these deportations. They were arresting 599 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 9: aliens and then letting them back into our country. That 600 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 9: is a universally unpopular policy that is part of what 601 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 9: helps propel President Trumps to victory in November, because American 602 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 9: people do not want these migrant criminals invading our country. 603 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 9: Here's what we do, No buck, we made thirty two thousand, 604 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 9: over thirty two thousand enforcement arrest in the first fifty 605 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 9: days of the Trump administration. To put that in perspective, 606 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 9: we made thirty three thousand I did at large arrests 607 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 9: in the fiscal year twenty twenty four alone. So I 608 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 9: won't get ahead of President's any specific policies that he 609 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 9: plans to impose, but we know that the President is 610 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 9: delivering on his promise to enact the largest mass deportation 611 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 9: of migrant criminals in American history to stop the invasion. Because, 612 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 9: by the way, fourteen thousand of those we've arrested so 613 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 9: far convicted criminals, almost ten thousand has pending criminal charges. 614 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 9: So President Trump is doing what he promised. He is 615 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 9: getting justice for innocent Americans like Lake and Riley, who 616 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 9: like Joscelyn Nungree, whose lives were brutally taken and unjustly 617 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 9: taken by migrant criminals who should have never been in 618 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 9: this country in the first place. 619 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: And I've seen some early data on this, and it's 620 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 1: actually it actually comes from the Mexican government side of 621 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: the border. But we know that official numbers already for 622 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,479 Speaker 1: illegal migrant crossings are way down. I think ninety five 623 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: percent plus is where they are. But you know in 624 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: a way that it shows that the President is keeping 625 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: his promise to secure the border, and also that the 626 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: previous administration intentionally allowed the border to be wide open 627 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 1: for anybody to cross over, and that thankfully has come 628 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: to an end. Do we have data yet or can 629 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 1: you tell us when we will? 630 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 7: Though? 631 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: On the plummeting fentanyl seizures at the border as well, 632 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: because I know that there's the government of Mexico has 633 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: been claiming that fentanyl seizures are also way down on 634 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: their end of things, right, So do we have some 635 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: data on the drug numbers coming down as well? 636 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 9: While so CBEF customers and Border Patrol regularly puts out 637 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 9: these numbers, unfortunately I don't have them in front of me, 638 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 9: but I'm will be sure to follow up and make 639 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 9: sure that you can share those with our listeners. But 640 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 9: I will say, you know, the President has vastly different 641 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 9: messaging to your point about encounters at the southern border. 642 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 9: I remember, I'm sure you remember your listeners, remember when 643 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 9: migrants were coming into the border in early twenty twenty one, 644 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 9: saying thank you Joe Biden for this open border, for 645 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,439 Speaker 9: with a stroke of his pen, ondoing all the border 646 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 9: security measures that President Trump took in his first term. 647 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 9: President Trump is finally sending the message to migrant criminals 648 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 9: around the world saying do not come here. He is 649 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 9: telling migrant criminals who already are in the country to 650 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 9: self support otherwise we will find you and we will 651 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 9: support you. The messaging is vastly different, and I think 652 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 9: that is why you see those vastly different numbers. And 653 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 9: we're also holding the countries like Mexico and Canada accountable 654 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 9: for the influx of sentinel that has come into our 655 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 9: country killing Americans. That's part of the terribles as well. 656 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 9: So all in all, President Trump is finally sending the message, 657 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 9: after four years of sailor under Joe Biden, that enough 658 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 9: is enough. We will not accept these migrant criminals entering 659 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:15,280 Speaker 9: our country killing Americans. We also won't accept this influx 660 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 9: of sentinel that is also destroying families across the country. 661 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: Can you tell us about this news story. I think 662 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,360 Speaker 1: it was Politico that put it out initially about the 663 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: clearing out of classified by USAID and also the status 664 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: of the USAID building. I think you had to do 665 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: a little cleanup on Aisle fake news on that one 666 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,839 Speaker 1: for Politico and others what actually happened there. 667 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, so there was a so as you know, I'm 668 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 9: sure your listeners know USCID that building is soon to 669 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 9: be occupied by Customs and Border Patrol thankfully, so the 670 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 9: USCID employees were naturally clearing out the building, vacating the building, 671 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 9: and undergoing a very normal process to dispose of classified documents. 672 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 9: And by the way, as I said in my ex post, 673 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 9: which I'm sure is what you're pointing out, many of 674 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 9: these were courtesy copies, So that means these are documents 675 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 9: that originated from other agencies and were sent to USAID 676 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 9: by a courtesy And by the way, I'll add, I 677 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 9: want to shout out fake news NBC. They actually reached 678 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,919 Speaker 9: out to me at three at fifteen for their story 679 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 9: on this published at three sixteen, and then we had 680 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 9: to walk or clean up all this fake news that 681 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 9: was spreading around and sewing chaos really across the country. 682 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 9: But This was a totally normal process meant to dispose 683 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 9: of classic copies of classified documents that already existed, by 684 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,240 Speaker 9: the way, electronically as well in secure computer systems. Total 685 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 9: fake news outrage. 686 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: Do you feel like the media is trying to be 687 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 1: a little bit less rab it in their anti trumpism? 688 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: In terms of the media that's covering this White House 689 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: day in and day out. Have you have you started 690 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: to see perhaps just an attempt to be more, if 691 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: not even handed, at least more professional in how they 692 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: approach this or are things still pretty rough for those 693 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: who are clearly opposing the president with their coverage? 694 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 9: You know, Buck, I don't think they know what to 695 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 9: do with themselves, because we are having fun, truly, we 696 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 9: are winning every single day, and I think they do 697 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 9: acknowledge the fact that President Trump not only won the 698 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 9: election by a landslide, but he won the popular vote. 699 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 9: He is implementing policies that the American people soundly support, 700 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 9: and so they can try, they can push their fake 701 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 9: news narratives, they can try and poke hold and what 702 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 9: he's doing, but guess what the approval is on our side. 703 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 9: The American people overwhelmingly support his agenda. They see that 704 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 9: he is delivering on the promises he made on the 705 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,879 Speaker 9: campaign trail, to restore our economy, to secure the southern border, 706 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 9: to restore our standing on the world stage. This is 707 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,760 Speaker 9: what the American people want. He is delivering on his promises, 708 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 9: and I think that fake news don't know what to 709 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 9: do with it. 710 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,879 Speaker 1: Remarkable. How is it to be right in the center 711 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 1: of center of all the action here for a presidency 712 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: that is already transformational one month in. I know you're 713 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: super busy, and you say you're having fun. Must be 714 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: exciting stuff. 715 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 9: It is so exciting. And again, we're winning every single 716 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 9: day and we're having so much fun. The fake news 717 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 9: don't know what they know. They don't know how to 718 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 9: cover it because they're not used to actually covering a 719 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 9: president who actually does sing every single day. He is 720 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 9: signing more executive orders than any other president at this 721 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 9: point in his first or his tec in term. He 722 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 9: is delivering on the promises he made and it's really fun. 723 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 9: I'm not sure if you knew this that I was 724 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 9: involved in the campaign as well, and so I was 725 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 9: able to be part of all these promises being made. 726 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,280 Speaker 9: Watching the enthusiasm among all these Americans across the country 727 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 9: who are so excited to finally see change after four 728 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 9: years of failure. And it's extremely exciting to be part 729 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 9: of the process in really helping correct all the mistakes 730 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 9: over the past four years. 731 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: White House DEFU Press Secretary Anna Kelly, come back again soon. 732 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here and keep up 733 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 1: the great work. 734 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 9: Thanks so much for us talk soon. 735 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: There's a very telling video that's online, one you want 736 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,720 Speaker 1: to watch. I was there for the event to witness 737 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: a prediction of what may come in the way of 738 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 1: our financial markets.

This is my father's area of expertise. 743 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: I think you'll find it really interesting and possibly very 744 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: beneficial growing up. I grew up in a household where 745 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: the stock market was a big deal because my dad 746 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: worked in the markets for decades. He created a name 747 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,839 Speaker 1: for himself on Wall Street by his forecast. The most 748 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: notable one was calling the crash of eighty seven. His 749 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: predictions are too numerous to get into here, but he 750 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: called the crash in two thousand and nine as well. 751 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: This is a guy who sees what's coming, and you 752 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: can still see his prediction, his forecast for the future 753 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: when you just go to this website.

Which 777 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: is a high class, high class problem. But you know, 778 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: this weekend, I'm doing something pretty interesting. I'm going to 779 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: be heading out to heading out to North Carolina to 780 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: do some training with my brothers and DJ Shipley, who 781 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: is a decorated former Seal Team six operative who we 782 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: will be spending some time just going through tactics and all. 783 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: We're basically showing up saying, DJ, teach us as much 784 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: as you can this weekend about about guns, about tactics, 785 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: about shooting, about marksmanship, you know, about self defense, about 786 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 1: room clearing. I mean, you know, whatever we've got time for. 787 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: We're just showing up ready to go. And so I'll 788 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: let you I'll let you know how that is next 789 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: week when I get a chance to after I've gotten 790 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,359 Speaker 1: a chance to see for myself. But it's really it's 791 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: fun also to spend some time with the brothers. You know, 792 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: I have a baby coming in less than a month now, 793 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: and so the weekends where I can just take off 794 00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: with with the guys, with my two brothers and just 795 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: go and shoot a lot and work on marksmanship and 796 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 1: work on those basics of firearm skills. It might be 797 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: a little tougher, I might have a lot more diaper 798 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,800 Speaker 1: changing and things like that in my future, but that 799 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: will be a huge blessing and I am looking forward 800 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: to that too. I will say, it is remarkable how 801 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 1: hard it is to install these car seats in the 802 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 1: back of cars. I don't know how many of you 803 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,320 Speaker 1: have felt the same way about this. I know a 804 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,280 Speaker 1: lot of you are parents, a lot of your grandparents, 805 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: a lot of you have plenty of kids. But there's 806 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: got to be a better way, you know, There's got 807 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 1: to be an easier way than what we've got going on. 808 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: You gotta like slide through the and you got anchors 809 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 1: and you got to slide this. This stuff should be 810 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 1: so much easier in my mind than it really is. 811 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 1: So oh oh, that's a great idea. Producer Ali is saying, 812 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: leave me talk back baby advice this weekend and we'll 813 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: get to some of it next week.

Remember those are 816 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 1: like voicemails, so you don't have to if you want 817 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 1: to call live on hold. We love our live callers 818 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 1: on the phone, but if you don't want to hold, 819 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 1: you just want to send in your message, you do 820 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 1: that and it goes into us and we all hear it. 821 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: And I certainly see see or hear every talkback. We 822 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: can't get to all of them on the air, but 823 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 1: we'll get to as many as we can. So baby 824 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 1: advice by all means, send it my way and I'll 825 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: let you know how training goes this weekend.
