1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: Business leaders coming out and embracing Donald Trump ahead of 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: a second term. World leaders are now rushing to strike 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: deals with Donald Trump that includes Mexico, with a new 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: headline that the US government is working with Mexico as 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: we speak to bring quote justice to some of the 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: cartel members. Here's the latest headline, the US has deported 7 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: a golf cartels supreme leader, Los Zitas founder facing now 8 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,639 Speaker 1: quote charges in Mexico, as Donald Trump is demanding that 9 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: things are actually done the right way. 10 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 2: Now. 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: I say all of this to give you a present 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: for today's show, so you understand where we're going with this, 13 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: and that is there are many that are trying to 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: figure out how this is possible, because in twenty sixteen, 15 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: this is absolutely not a show that I would have done. 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: There were people that decided to be a part of 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: the resistance. There were people inside the government that's said 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: we're going to resist the LEASA page Peter Struck, text 19 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: messages of those two FBI individuals where they're like, we're 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: gonna stop him. There was a full on coup attempt 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: by the Democratic Party to overthrow the will of the people. 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: That's when Russia, Russia, Russia got all excited. But now 23 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: you look at it, even big tech Meta, Facebook, Apple, TikTok, Netflix, Google, Amazon, 24 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: all of them meeting with Donald Trump between November the 25 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: twenty seventh and early the next week, all of those 26 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: leaders meeting with Donald Trump. Because I think what the 27 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: ceo and tech giants understand is that Donald Trump is 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: coming in and he's different than he was in sixteen, 29 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: and it is a mandate this time. I want to 30 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: say that again. It is a mandate now. To be clear, 31 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: in sixteen as well, there were not only Republicans that 32 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: hated Trump and were undermining him every time they got 33 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: a chance, but the Democratic Party in the meta went 34 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: into full resistance mode. They didn't wanted to be president. 35 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: They wanted there to be a coup. The Democratic Party 36 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: and there were some mainstream Republicans, as they were described 37 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: in sixteen, had no problem kicking or Donald Trump out 38 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: of office. They did not protect Donald Trump from the 39 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: coup attempt, which was to overthrow the will of the people. 40 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: They did this through the lies of Russia. We know 41 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: that the deep state turned on him full speed ahead. 42 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: We know the FBI knew that the Steele dossier was 43 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: created and paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign for the 44 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: presidency in sixteen and the Democratic National Committee. They knew 45 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: that had already been classified by the FBI as user generated. 46 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: There were many like Adam Schiff that knew that this 47 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,559 Speaker 1: was a lie. They didn't care. They wanted to undermine 48 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: the people of the United States of America. They didn't 49 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: like that they picked Trump. Now, there were other Republicans. 50 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: Liz Cheney was one of them. There's others like Mitt Romney, 51 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: for example, that wanted to make sure that MAGA did 52 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: not become the party and they were on board as well, 53 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: doing everything they could. Adam Kinsinger another Republican, great example, 54 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: who were useful idiots for the left who wanted to 55 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: be loved by the media and by the establishment and 56 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: the machine of the swamp in DC that said, let's 57 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: undermine him. And that's exactly what they did. They undermined 58 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: him at all costs. I think it's going to be 59 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: different this time. Now, let me explain why I say that. 60 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: I want you to hear from Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney 61 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: doing all his exit interviews as he is now leaving 62 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: the Senate, he is a guy that has lost the 63 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: people don't like him, even in his own state, and 64 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: they thought he became a part of the resistance to Trump. 65 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: Listen to what he had to say on State of 66 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: the Union as he was doing one of his exit interviews. Now, 67 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: before I do that, I want to tell you about 68 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: AMO squared.

This is Mitt Romney, 101 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: in his own words, talking about the state of the 102 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: Republican Party now that he is out, all right, he 103 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: is going home a loser. We are draining the swamp. 104 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: And this is what he had to say about MAGA now. 105 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 2: In an interview a few months ago. That quote, there's 106 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: a good chance that the Republican Party is going to 107 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: be is going to need to be rebuilt or reoriented, 108 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 2: and that you want to have a voice in the 109 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 2: post Trump Republican Party. Do you think that there's Do 110 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: you still think there's going to be a post Trump 111 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: Republican Party or is MAGA now the Republican Party? 112 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: Oh, MAGA is the Republican Party and Donald Trump is 113 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 3: the Republican Party today. And if you were to ask 114 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 3: me who the nominee will be in twenty twenty eight, 115 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 3: I think it'll be jd Vance. All Right, he's smart, 116 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 3: well spoken, part of the MAGA movement. 117 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 2: You said something pretty harsh about him a few months ago, 118 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 2: though you could not have less respect for somebody than 119 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 2: long long ago. 120 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: I'm not going to rehash history, and we've worked together 121 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: in the Senate since then, but I that is what 122 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 3: the Republican Party is, and will the party need to change? Look, 123 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 3: the Republican Party has become the party of the working class, 124 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 3: middle class voter, and you've got to give Donald Trump 125 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: credit for having done that. 126 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 1: Now, why is Mitt Romney saying this now? He's saying 127 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: it now because he is so far outside of the 128 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: Republican Party. That he has a choice to make. Either 129 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: become a Democrat and he'll be a useful idiot for them, 130 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: which he has been his entire time in the Senate. 131 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: He's not been a Republican, He's been a useful idiot 132 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: for the left, or he just admits he was quote 133 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: wrong and Donald Trump is the Republican Party and try 134 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: to find a way back in. This is the same 135 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: guy that's sucked up to Donald Trump in sixteen trying 136 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: to become Secretary of State, and when he didn't get it, 137 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: then he became an enemy of Trump, trying to undermine 138 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: Trump and attack Trump. Now I say this to tell 139 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: you just how different it is and why I'm so 140 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: hopeful in twenty twenty four that Donald Trump is going 141 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: to actually get things done, because now it's clear who's 142 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: on his team and who his enemies are. He also 143 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: met Ronney said something else that was interesting, and he 144 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: was talking about the cabinet of Donald Trump. Donald Trump 145 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: is a guy that's going to have a very different cabinet, Okay, 146 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: very different cabinet then even Donald Trump would have had 147 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: last time. Right last time, his cabinet was again very 148 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: very very different than it is this time. Take a 149 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: listen to what Romney said about that. 150 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 3: Well, a very famous book talked about Abraham Lincoln choosing 151 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: a team of rivals. This is a team of people 152 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: who are very very different, extraordinarily different backgrounds, different perspectives 153 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: on issues. In some cases, I think even than the president. 154 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 3: So an unusual collection of individuals. Not the people I 155 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 3: would have chosen, but I lost. He won. All right, 156 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 3: I'd like to revisit that and win, but I didn't 157 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 3: get that chance. And so these are the kind of 158 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 3: people he wants to run him. He's entitle to that. 159 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: Now. 160 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 3: The Senate has a responsibility to make sure that these 161 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: people are legitimate, that there's no skeleton that could be 162 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 3: an embarrassment to them or the country, and also determine 163 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 3: if they're qualified for the position that they've been nominated to, 164 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 3: and I expect them to carry out that responsibility with 165 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: conscience and diligence. 166 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: You listen to him there, and even on that issue, 167 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: he's like, well, it's not who I would pick, but 168 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: these are loyalists. Donald Trump learned his lesson last time. 169 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: He went with some cabinet members he didn't know personally 170 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: very well at all. He went with the consensus picks 171 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: that some establishment Republicans were telling me he had to make, 172 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: and they didn't serve him well. In fact, they undermined him. 173 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: I got to tell you, as I'm looking at Donald 174 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: Trump's cabinet come together, and this might be the most 175 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: important thing that I say today. It may be a 176 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: blessing that he lost in twenty twenty because what he 177 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: has learned in the last four years and just how 178 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: different his cabinet's going to be this time, and how 179 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: much they're going to get done with Dodge and other things. 180 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: This may be how we actually saved this country from 181 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: the brink. And it's incredible to watch what he's putting 182 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: together this time. And it's incredible to see the mitt 183 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: romneys of the party just disappear into a relevant seat. 184 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: That may be the best part of Donald Trump having 185 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: to wait another four years to finish his second term. 186 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: Let's talk about world leaders and how also that has 187 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: changed when it comes to Donald Trump. You know, you 188 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: go back four years ago and Justin Trudeau was a 189 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: darling of the radical left. He was a socialist moving 190 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: towards socialism in Canada. Trudeau was loved and he was 191 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: a guy that was extreme on the lockdowns. He was 192 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: a guy that was extreme on his truckers, for example, 193 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: and went after them and used the law to go 194 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: after them when they were protesting the COVID rules and lockdowns. 195 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: Now Canada's deputy prime minister has quit as Donald Trump's 196 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: tariffs are looming over that country. We're also hearing that 197 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau is quote unquote and this is by local 198 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: reporting in Canada is on the brink of resigning as 199 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: his liberal government is crumbling before his very eyes. Now, 200 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: how is this happening? I think it's because a lot 201 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: of people in Canada are inspired by Donald Trump being 202 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: re elected and what Donald Trump is doing. The amount 203 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: of money that the Canadian government is taking from their 204 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: people is outrageous, It is egregious. The way that they're 205 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: now going after capital gains at a rate that now 206 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: people are fleeing Canada. The way that Trudeau just a 207 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: few weeks ago in his government decided to ban an 208 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: outlaw hundreds and hundreds of guns in one sweeping, massive 209 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: gun control moment. And now Canna's Prime Minister de wut 210 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: prime minister quitting as trump tariffs are looming over him. 211 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: The way that Trudeau went down to Marlago, sucking up 212 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump because he understands he's in trouble. Donald 213 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: Trump putting out a tweet the Great State of Canada's 214 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: stunned as the Finance minister is resigneder fired from her 215 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: position by Governor Trudeau. Her behavior was totally toxic. He 216 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: went on to say, trolling Canada and Trudeau basically knowing 217 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: now that the people in Canada have had enough of 218 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: a tyrannical government taking from them and also attacking America 219 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: at the same time. Now, Trudeau's in trouble. Four years 220 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: ago he was a king. He's on the brink of 221 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: resigning as his liberal government croubles around him. That according 222 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: to c TV News, Trudeau is fifty two. He is 223 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: considering his options as leaders, sources have told the broadcast, 224 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: while his finance minister revealed she will quit Yeah. The 225 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: Finance Minister Freeland quit on Monday after clashing with Trudeau 226 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: on issues including how to handle possible US tariffs, dealing 227 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: a huge blow to an already unpopular government. In a 228 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: stinging resignation letter, Freeland, the finance minister, dismissed Trudeo's push 229 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: to increase spending as a political gimmick that could hurt 230 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: the government's ability to deal with the twenty five percent 231 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: import tariffs. US President Donald Trump says he will impose 232 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: The resignation by Freeland fifty six, who also served as 233 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: the deputy Prime minister, is one of the biggest crisis 234 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: that Trudeau has had to face since taking power in 235 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: November of fifteen. It also leaves him without a key 236 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: ally when he is on track to lose the next 237 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: election to the official opposition Conservatives. Trudeau quickly came under 238 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: pressure to go from the new Democrats to the smaller 239 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: opposition party, which earlier this year pulled its unconditional support 240 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: of the minority Liberal government, but has continued to back 241 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: the Prime minister in some legislation through Parliament. Quote, I'm 242 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: calling on Trudeau to resign. He has to go, the 243 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: party leader told reporters the time, the first time he 244 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: has unequivocally called on the Prime minister to quit his position. Wow, 245 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: this all happening, and this is a again, is this 246 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: opposition or this you know person I was working with 247 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: Trudeau seeing did not respond directly to questions about whether 248 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: he would continue to prop up Trudeau in Parliament, saying 249 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: that all options were on the table. Trudeau can be 250 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,599 Speaker 1: toppled if the opposition parties unite against him on a 251 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: vote of no confidence, though that cannot happen until late 252 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: January at the earliest, so he's got time on his 253 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: hands to try to calm things down. House Earlier, Conservative 254 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: leader said the government was spiraling out of control, saying, quote, 255 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: we cannot accept this kind of chaos, division, weakness while 256 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: we're staring down the barrel of a twenty five percent 257 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: tariff from our biggest trading partners. We simply cannot go 258 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: on like this, he told reporters yesterday. Friedland said she 259 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: was quitting in the wake of a meeting last Friday 260 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: with Trudeau, who asked her to take on a lesser 261 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: post after the two had argued for weeks over government spending. 262 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: You got to understand, Trudeau's a guy that loves to 263 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: spend money and loves to spend his cun into oblivion. 264 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: He's a guy that likes socialism and communism. This is 265 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: what Trudeau is and now we're seeing that he is well. 266 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: The people in Canada are very unhappy with Trudeau and 267 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: what's happening now. 268 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 4: Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. If you have 269 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 4: a cell phone and your cell phone is with Big Mobile, 270 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 4: then you may not realizing that you're helping support democratic 271 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 4: causes candidates and radical organizations every time you pay your bill. 272 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 4: Now I say that and you say, all right, Ben, why, 273 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 4: Well it's a great question.

Because Patriot Mobile does 277 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 4: something very different. They take about five percent of your 278 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 4: bill every month and they actually give it back to 279 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 4: conservative causes, candidates and organizations that actually fight for our 280 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 4: First Amendment rights, that actually fight for the rights of 281 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 4: unborn children, that fight for our men and women in uniform, 282 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 4: our military first responders, and our wounded warriors. That is 283 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 4: why I love Patriot Mobile. Now I get the same 284 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 4: great coverage that I'm used to.

None of this, 297 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: I argue, would be happening in Canada right now if 298 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't for Donald Trump being elected. You have to 299 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: understand what the trigger is is here. This is the 300 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: trigger that is allowed for this to happen. You look 301 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: at other leaders around the world and many different leaders 302 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: who are changing from liberals and socialists to conservatives. I 303 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: believe none of this will be happening if it wasn't 304 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump leading and Donald Trump standing up and 305 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Look at Brazil and other countries like that 306 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: that are happening. Look at all the issues of Latin America. Hell, 307 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: let's go back to what I was saying about now, 308 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: Mexico changing because the environment has changed so drastically would 309 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump becoming president. We have now found out that 310 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: the US is deporting a golf cartel supreme leader of 311 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,479 Speaker 1: the Los Ziitas gang, the founder. This is a massive 312 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: drug cartel. Federal authorities in the United States to poor 313 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: the man who is the supreme leader of the golf 314 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: cartel and founder of Lositas, the former Kingpinn has completed 315 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: sndence in the United States of America's now being held 316 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: in a Mexican prison where he's expected a face trial 317 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: on several drug traveling charges, murder, weapons and organized crime 318 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: charge in Mexico. Why did we release him and why 319 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: is this happening now? Because Mexico wants to send a 320 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: message to Donald Trump that they're going to crack down 321 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: on their cartel leaders. So okay, we'll play game now, 322 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: because again you were elected. This is, by the way, 323 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: what happens when you have a strong world leader of 324 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: the of the leader of the world, which is the 325 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: United States of America. When you have a strong leader 326 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: and they know that he's coming in and he's not 327 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: screwing around, this is how they react. On Monday afternoon, 328 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: US Immigration and Customers Enforcement officers and agents deported the 329 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: notorious leader of the Gulf Cartel. This is coming from 330 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: a newspaper in Mexico. The removal operation took place at 331 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: the San Diego port of entry, where US agents walked 332 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: the individual towards Mexican authorities. Mexican police took him in 333 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: custody on their side of the border. This is something 334 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: that never would have happened while Joe Biden was present, 335 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: or if Kamwa Harris had won. Through a prepared statement, 336 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: Mexico's Attorney General's office revealed that Cardinas had been flown 337 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: to the prison there, one of their brutal prisons, where 338 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: he's expected to face various charges including drug trafficking and 339 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: money laundering and murder. Cardinas became a highly feared figure 340 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: inside of Mexico's government and throughout Mexico following his Following 341 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: his rise to power in the late nineteen nineties when 342 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: he literally quote this is coming again from a Mexican newspaper, 343 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: when he literally killed his way to the helm of 344 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: the Gulf Cartel. Soon after, he consolidated his power by 345 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: recruiting former soldiers and police officers as his personal guards 346 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 1: and Hicck squad, so he had a full blown hit 347 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: squad that was hitting on people killing people twenty four 348 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 1: to seven. That group grew in power and became known 349 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: as Los Zetas. The US Department of Justice indicted this 350 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: cartel leader on drug trafficking charges in two thousand, but 351 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: it went until two thousand and three that Mexican military 352 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: forces arrested him following a fierce shootout. Now, notice when 353 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: I said that date, it was still when Donald Trump 354 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: was present and they were forced to actually do things 355 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: because of fear of retribution from the US government. When 356 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: it came to cartels, they get in a fight, a 357 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: big firefight. They then get him and what do they 358 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: do They turn him over to Donald Trump. None of 359 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: that would have happened if Kamwa Harris would have won. 360 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: This is how the leadership of MAGA and the leadership 361 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: of Trump is changing the world for the better. Now, 362 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: by the way, I said a moment ago that in 363 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: seven the US Department of Justice extradited Cardinas to stand 364 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: trial for numerous drug trafficking and money laundering charge just 365 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: out of the US Southern District of Texas. Okay, And 366 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: I want you to go back in the timeline here, 367 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: when was the election Donald Trump won right, and then 368 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: we find out that, Okay, he loses the next election. 369 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: And what changed, Well, the way we went after drug 370 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: dealers changed. We weren't going after the cartel members while 371 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's been president. Now in Mexico is controlled by 372 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: the drug cartels. We know this, Like the whole government 373 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: is corrupt, no one you can trust, and there's no 374 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: one down there really trying to clean things up. So 375 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: what you have to do is you have to have 376 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: a strong enough lead that says, look, I know you 377 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: guys are corrupt. I know you guys are full of crap, 378 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: and we're just gonna put tariffs on you and we're 379 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: going to hurt you financially unless you get some of 380 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: this under control. Like that's the difference. You look at 381 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,959 Speaker 1: an O seven, the US Department of Justice extradites the guy. 382 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: Three years later, this cartel leader pleaded guilty to some 383 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: charges part of a secret deal where he received a 384 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: twenty five year sentence. He completed most of the sentence 385 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: before his deportation. Is what they're now saying. This is 386 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: the Biden administration talking now. According to Ice enforcement removal operations, 387 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: on August fifth, they took custody of Cardinas due to 388 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: his impending removal from the country after completing a sentence, 389 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: and because Mexico had requested his extradition for charges in 390 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: that country. The removal of Cardenas from a US Bureau 391 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: of Prison facility in Indiana caused widespread speculation in Mexico, 392 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: with some news outlets on both sides of the border 393 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: publishing stories about his release from prison and his supposed 394 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: eventual return to power in Mexico. Between August and December, 395 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: Cardenas had been in custy of ice awaiting removal to Mexico. Right, 396 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: there's the concern, what's happening here, Well, now we found 397 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: out that how they're going to do with him in 398 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: Mexico apparently is extremely different than what they were planning 399 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: if Joe Biden and then Kamala Harris would have won 400 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: the election. Now what we're saying is they're going, all right, well, 401 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: we can't let this guy like out. We got to 402 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: charge him with crimes. We got to keep him in jail. 403 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's coming in. He's not gonna stand for this. 404 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: We've got to change our policies. We have to change 405 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: the way that we are doing things. I got to 406 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: tell you, this is exactly how different the party is 407 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: this time. This is exactly why I am glad that 408 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: this is happening right now the way that it is. 409 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: I actually think it's a blessing that Donald Trump did 410 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: not win four years ago as much pain as we've 411 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: had in the last four years. Now he's coming in 412 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: and he's going to do things so different than he 413 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: would have back then. Because the Left revealed itself. They 414 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: never thought they were gonna have to deal with Trump again. 415 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: They are gonna have to deal with Donald Trump again 416 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: in a very big way. They're gonna have to deal 417 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: with Donald Trump in a way where they try to 418 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: destroy him, lock him up, put him in jail, make 419 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: him lose everything. He saw, the weaponization of the government. 420 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: He's coming in a different man this time. 421 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 4: I want to take a moment and talk to you 422 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 4: about IFCJ, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, wants 423 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 4: to wish you a blessed beginning of the holiday season 424 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 4: as you gather with your families, grateful for the blessings 425 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 4: that God has given us all, but let's also remember 426 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 4: those who are facing unbelievable hardship in need of food. 427 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 4: Fellowship and hope.

I think 445 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: he needed something he didn't he realized he needed to 446 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: do now that he wouldn't have four years ago. Trump 447 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: is now taking on pharmacy benefit managers. What is a 448 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: pharmacy benefit manager basically the middleman, Donald Trump, saying We're 449 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 1: going to knock out the middleman. Trump's ally and speaker 450 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: Mike Johnson will start the Presidentlex plan to quote knock 451 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: out the big insurance middleman in the end of your 452 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: government spending package. President elect Trump vowed to take on 453 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: big pharma benefit managers known as p b ms at 454 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: a press conference at mar Lago, saying, quote the horrible 455 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: minilemen that makes more money Franklin than the drug companies, 456 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: and they don't do anything except they're a middleman. We're 457 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: going to knock out the middleman. Trump said that his 458 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: Health and Human Services nominee RFK Junior and Center for 459 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: Medicare and Medicaid Services nominee doctor Oz had discussed reforming 460 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: the p bms extensively, saying, these middlemen are but they 461 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 1: are rich, and we're going to knock out the middlemen. 462 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: We're going to get drug costs down at a level 463 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: that nobody has ever seen before. And that really, I 464 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: tell you, we spend more time talking about that than 465 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,239 Speaker 1: with Bobby and when the executives and Oz, all of them, 466 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: we spend more time talking about that than anything else. 467 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: I mean, this is one of those moments where there 468 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: is radical change coming to our government to give the 469 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 1: government back to the American people. One of the biggest 470 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: reasons for high prescription prices is big insurance PBMs, three 471 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: Giant PBM, Mintlemen, CBS, care Mark, Express Script and Optimum 472 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: r acts control about eighty percent of the entire market 473 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: and administer drug benefits to over two hundred and seventy 474 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: million Americans. PBMs inflate their profits by pushing more expensive 475 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: medicines and the list of drugs available to their customers. 476 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: How do they do it By setting favorable prices and 477 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: cost sharing amounts. PBMs practically dictate the amount patients pay 478 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: out of pocket in which medicines they can access. If 479 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 1: a drug isn't on their list, insurers won't cover it, 480 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: and often doctors won't prescribe it, even if the patient 481 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: needs that medication more than any others. Kevin Dwayne, a 482 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: pharmacist from Jacksonville, Florida, recently told the House Committee on 483 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: Oversight and Accountability quote, patients and their doctors have virtually 484 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: no say in what drugs are used, since the PBMs 485 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: essentially for switch drugs can be used and are covered 486 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: not because a drug is better or worse, but because 487 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: the PBMs can make more money from that specific drug. Essentially, 488 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: PBMs are incentivized to prescribe more expensive medicines because then 489 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: they make more money. It's a broke consistent that Trump 490 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: will fix and started to fix before. That's why big 491 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: pharma went against them so much. In twenty twenty, Trump 492 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: introduced a policy allowing seniors to directly benefit from rebates 493 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: a drug manufacturer pay to PBMs for preferential placement on 494 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: insurance drug formularities. These rebates were intended to reduce the 495 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: cost of expensive medication, specifically for seniors. Trump present a 496 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: detailed plan to deliver these savings to seniors, potentially saving 497 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: them billions of dollars. Quote. So the patient are going 498 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: to be now getting the benefit instead of these very 499 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: wealthy individuals. Trump said at that time, Today's actions ends 500 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: that injustice and requires that these discounts to go directly 501 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:15,479 Speaker 1: to the people, not to these big companies. These are 502 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: the people that need it the most. Well, what happened 503 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: when Donald Trump left office. Joe Biden immediately repealed the 504 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: Trump drug rebate rule with the so called Inflation Reduction Act, 505 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: preventing those seniors most at risk from getting the savings 506 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: that they desperately needed. President Trump and his healthcare team 507 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: will undoubtedly bring back the Trump Rebate rule instantly and 508 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: massive savings for seniors. This is another reason why I 509 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: say this administration is going to be so powerful. Speaker 510 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: Johnson and Trump said Congress, They're gonna go ahead and 511 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: get start on Trump's healthcare agenda now and not wait 512 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: till January. Recently, by the way, over twenty conservative groups 513 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: encouraged Congress to pass the the Modernizing and Ensuring PBM's 514 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: Accountability Act. The bill would reset the money making incentives 515 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: to benefit the patience by delinking the PBM fees from 516 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: the price of medicine, breaking the link between the price 517 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: of drugs and the fees that PBM's charge will help 518 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: fix to incentivize the system to drive up to no 519 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: longer drive up seniors drug costs and make money for 520 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: the PBMs. Now, Congress can pass this final bill before Christmas. 521 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,239 Speaker 1: That means they can fix the corrupt system. They can 522 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: deliver the savings to the American seniors. What Donald Trump 523 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: is going to do in January, and it would be 524 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: a huge start to Trump's healthcare agenda, which means it's 525 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: time for you now to call your congressman, your center 526 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: and say I want this done, not after, but I 527 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: want it done before they recess for December. Now, let 528 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: me also say one more thing about this. I go 529 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: through this list today to give you incredible amounts of hope, 530 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: because I believe this is all about hope. I believe 531 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: now we are in a position that we've never been 532 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: in where we can see radical change in the size 533 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: of our government, in the accountability of our government, and 534 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: what we are trying to do with our government. This 535 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: is the reason why I believe that Donald Trump is 536 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: going to be more effective now than he could have 537 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: been four years ago. He wouldn't have been able to 538 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: do or see what he needed to do four years 539 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: ago compared to now. And what we are witnessing is 540 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: not just the world changing, whether it's Mexico and how 541 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: they're dealing with the cut ortels, whether it's literally possibly 542 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: the failure of Trudeau and he could be no longer 543 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: in charge in Canada, or whether it's going after the 544 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: benefits for these massive drug corporations. They're corrupt as hell. 545 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: You look at all of these issues and everything is 546 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: different now. This is exciting. Make sure you share this 547 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: podcast with your family and your friends. I'll see you 548 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
