1
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk Show starts.

2
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: Now.

3
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 3: All right, there's a breaking news that happened in the

4
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 3: commercial break. So what you're looking at a photograph right

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 3: now of Michael Waltz. He is the President's National Security Advisor,

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: except for we just got news that he is going

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 3: to be leaving the administration along with his deputy, Alex Wong.

8
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: Of course, if you might remember the story of Signal Gate.

9
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a particular reason, but there

10
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: was some consternation amongst some people about Mike walt who

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: you might remember as a congressman, green beret, a long

12
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: long history and career in foreign policy. And I believe

13
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 3: we have working.

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 4: News, all right.

15
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 5: The US and Ukraine have just reached a minerals deal.

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 5: It will grant the US privileged access to new investment

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 5: projects to develop Ukraine's natural resources, including aluminum, graphie, oil,

18
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 5: and natural gas.

19
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 6: Right now, Congress, is House and Senate are working collegiately

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 6: together to move towards the build that everybody agrees on it.

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 6: So I think we're making an enormous amount of progress.

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 6: And the idea that we get a bill passed by

23
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 6: saying early July at the latest is very very very

24
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 6: likely it is child of use to change a child's gender.

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 6: Castration surgeries, castration drugs, sterilization treatments of.

26
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 7: Children are barbaric. They violate all sound medical ethics. They

27
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 7: are completely unwarranted. They harm children for life, irreversibly. The

28
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 7: US auto industry used to control the entire world, and now,

29
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 7: of course we've become a tiny fraction of the market.

30
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 8: And the reason for.

31
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 7: That is because the United States opened its markets to

32
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 7: every single foreign cheeter at every single foreign nation that

33
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 7: subsists is good on the face of the earth, and

34
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 7: their market's been close to ours. And the only thing

35
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 7: Americans want to hear from Kamala Harris is an apology

36
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 7: for joining Joe Biden.

37
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 4: Remember she what the borders are joining Joe.

38
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 7: Biden in aiding and abedding the invasion of our country.

39
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 7: And we're never gonna stop talking about this because what

40
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 7: they did to this country is unforgivable. It is an

41
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 7: eternal stain on the Democrat Party, who.

42
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 9: Would be doing a better job as president. Guess who

43
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 9: comes out on top within the margin, eurper comes on top.

44
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 9: This looks a lot like the election result, right, Trump

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 9: forty five two points ahead of Harris at forty three.

46
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 9: Twelve percent say they'd be doing about the same. But

47
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 9: this is the key nugget here. It's not just about

48
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 9: regretting that vote, it's literally saying who would be doing

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 9: the better job right now? And Trump continues to score

50
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 9: a higher percentage of the vote than I'm Ohiris, this

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 9: looks a heck of a lot like the election result.

52
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 9: We have just seen this in Paul after Paul after Paul.

53
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: It's a big deal. And I have two words for

54
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 4: the President Trump's agenda, peace and prosperity. And this moves

55
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: both America and Ukraine in that direction.

56
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 10: I think when your signature move is jazz hands, you're

57
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 10: not as up on the white guy code maybe as

58
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 10: you think you are. I mean everything about this guy

59
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 10: from the choice which was made, I think Suremichael's correct,

60
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 10: which was made out of weakness, all through his campaign

61
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 10: appearances and now in the aftermath. I just don't think

62
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 10: there's ever been anybody in recent political history in over

63
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 10: their head more than Tim Walls. It is amazing to

64
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 10: me that Democrats elevated this guy and that he continues

65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 10: to believe that he is going to be a leader

66
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 10: of this party in twenty twenty eight.

67
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: The problems that the.

68
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 10: Democrats have with Middle America, white men, working classmen have.

69
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 10: If this is if this is the road we're going down,

70
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 10: the Kode talker Tim Walls are only going to get

71
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 10: worse for them.

72
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 7: As President Trump has ended across the entire federal government,

73
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 7: all hiring, recruiting, retention, promotion, and training based on race

74
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 7: and sex is going to be merit based across the

75
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 7: whole federal government. This administration is also funding to get

76
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 7: critical race theory out of our school districts. Children will

77
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 7: be taught to love America, children will be taught to

78
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 7: be patriots, children will be taught civic values for schools

79
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 7: that want federal taxpayer funding. When you look at the

80
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 7: sweep of the first one hundred.

81
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 11: Days, every single crisis that has afflicted America for years,

82
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 11: sometimes decades, sometimes generations, this president has.

83
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 4: Fought head on.

84
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 7: He has taken on every entrenched power structure and system

85
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 7: all across this government, this swamp, this town.

86
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 12: Charlie Kirk show, the national observance of the National Prayer

87
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 12: Service is getting on the way at the White House.

88
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: Let's go there right now. Well, good morning, this is

89
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: a beautiful day.

90
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 13: We could not have asked for a more beautiful day

91
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 13: than this, and maybe that means something that brings us

92
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 13: a little luck, but it's.

93
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 2: A great honor.

94
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 13: And I'm delighted to welcome you to this very special place,

95
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 13: the White House, to celebrate the annual National Day of Prayer.

96
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: And we're doing it up big.

97
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 13: This is the first time they've done it this way,

98
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 13: and you deserve it.

99
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: We all deserve the White House. The White House is special.

100
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 13: We're bringing back religion in our country, and we're bringing

101
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 13: it back quickly and strongly, because.

102
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 2: For America to be a great nation, we must always

103
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: be one nation under God.

104
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 13: A phrase that they would like to get rid of

105
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 13: the radical left, But Ben, I don't think we're going

106
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 13: to let them get rid of that, right, We're not

107
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 13: letting them get rid of that. I want to thank

108
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 13: a man of incredible faith who's with us, Speaker of

109
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 13: Mike Johnson, for being here.

110
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: He's done an incredible job. Thank you, Mike very much.

111
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 13: We're working very hard on a great, big, beautiful bill,

112
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 13: beautiful bill, and we're trying to come up with a name,

113
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 13: and I said, why don't we just call it the great,

114
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 13: big beautiful bill.

115
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: That's what everyone you know.

116
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 13: So we're going to probably do that because everyone knows

117
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 13: what it means. But later today I'll be going to

118
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 13: the University of Alabama to deliver the keynote commencement address

119
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 13: to a record crowd.

120
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 2: They have a big crowd.

121
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 13: They I guess they have seven ceremonies and they said, well,

122
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 13: if you're doing it, we're putting them all together. I said,

123
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 13: that's a lot of people. So we're going to put

124
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 13: them all together. It is the first time they've done that,

125
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 13: and I'll give it a shot. All right, I hope

126
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 13: we can entertain. I will give it a shot. But

127
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 13: before we begin, I want to let you know what

128
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 13: I was just doing. In a really great meeting with

129
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 13: Speaker Johnson. We had also Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Chairman

130
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 13: Brett Guthrie, who's a fantastic guy, and Chairman Smith. Everybody

131
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 13: knows Chairman Smith. He's the most knowledgeable person on taxes

132
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 13: and finances. There is to be updated on the progress

133
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 13: of the one Big Beautiful Bill.

134
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: We love that bill. I won't like it if it

135
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: doesn't pass.

136
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 13: Neither will you doesn't pass, your taxes are going to

137
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 13: go up sixty eight percent, So think of it sixty

138
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 13: eight and this is a religious ceremony to me. But

139
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 13: that's part of the religion, because if your taxes go

140
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 13: up sixty eight percent, you might give up your religion.

141
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 13: You might have no choice. You'll be working too hard

142
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 13: to try and make it. And that's the Democrats, that's

143
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 13: what they'll give you. They'll vote against it. It's not

144
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 13: even believable. It's called Trump derangement syndrome because honestly, they

145
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 13: everything in there is good for Democrats, Republicans, and everybody else.

146
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 13: These will be the biggest tax cuts in American history,

147
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 13: with one hundred percent expensing, which is something that people

148
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 13: cannot believe they're getting. We did it in the last

149
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 13: one and we had the most successful economy in my

150
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 13: first four years that we've ever had the history of

151
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 13: our country, and expensing was one of the things that

152
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 13: led to that. But it's one hundred percent expensing for

153
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 13: companies investing in America and increasing take home pay for

154
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 13: the typical family by thousands of dollars a year. And

155
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 13: to show you how middle income this is, there'll be

156
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 13: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax

157
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 13: for the great seniors in social securities. So you have

158
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 13: no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. And

159
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 13: we have a full deduction for interest. If you buy

160
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 13: a car that's made in America, you get an interest

161
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 13: rate deduction. That's going to be a big got to

162
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 13: be made in America. If it's not made in America,

163
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 13: we really don't care if you buy it or not.

164
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 13: But if it's made in America, we want you to

165
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 13: buy it. We make the best cars anyway. Things are

166
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 13: moving along very well, and I just wanted to say

167
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 13: the final details are coming together, and they're coming together rapidly,

168
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 13: and I think we're right on schedule, mic and everyone,

169
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 13: and I want to thank you and this group and.

170
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: All of the people that are over there right now,

171
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: not in the sun. They're working on the bill. It's bill.

172
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 2: It will be the biggest bill ever passed in.

173
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 13: The history of our Congress, our Senate and Congress.

174
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: That's a that's a big achievement.

175
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 13: One of the things that's very important will be saving

176
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 13: Medicaid for Americans in need. We will not let the

177
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 13: Democrats destroy it and all the waste, fraud and abuse

178
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 13: that they seem to love.

179
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: And they will decimate Medicaid if they get the chance.

180
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: We're not going to give them that chance.

181
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 13: So just remember we will be saving Medicaid and strengthening it.

182
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 13: It'll be actually very strengthened, and they are going to

183
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 13: decimate it.

184
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: We can't let it happen.

185
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,599
Speaker 13: And very simply to finish that, we will make America

186
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 13: rich and healthy again. And why don't we say rich,

187
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 13: healthy and religious again. Okay, shah head that for this,

00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,840

261

270
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 13: never done that. That's never been done before. No other

271
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 13: president's allowed that. I think you know they say separation.

272
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 13: They say separation between church and state. They told me

273
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 13: I said, all right, let's forget about that for one time.

274
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 13: We said, really the separation.

275
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. Is that a good thing or a

276
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: bad thing. I'm not sure.

277
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 13: But whether there's separation or not, you guys are in

278
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 13: the White House where you should be, and you're representing

279
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 13: our country, and we're bringing religion back to our country,

280
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 13: and it's.

281
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,000

00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 13: artists and his song is one of the most favored

285
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 13: by people of religion. That I can tell you, John,

286
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 13: You've done a great job. I always say he's the

287
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 13: husband of Paula White, but actually he's very successful. So

288
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 13: that's always tough to live with, right job, But not

289
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 13: really because you have an incredible wife that you're proud

290
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 13: of right, I mean, that's good. Oh he just gave

292
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:50,520

293
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 13: with me maybe the longest, and she's been just an

294
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 13: incredible person. Never asks for anything, never once favors or

295
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 13: g Could I use your helicopter to get here?

296
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 2: Or there is named Alvida King and she's here someplace?

297
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: Is that hi? Alvida?

298
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 8: She was here.

299
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 13: She was here before it was popular, before I had

300
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 13: record numbers with the black vote. She was here long

301
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 13: before I had record numbers. Right, Alvida saw something and

302
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 13: she was here at the very very beginning when we

303
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 13: were polling on the low side with the black population.

304
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 13: Now we're setting records with the black population. We got

305
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 13: criminal justice reform done, We got.

306
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: The black colleges and universities.

307
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 13: You know, I got that finance for a very interesting

308
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 13: story because for two three years I'd see these really

309
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 13: great people, like fifty of them or maybe a little more,

310
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 13: they'd come up to Washington looking for money for historically

311
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 13: black colleges and universities. And they'd come up and the

312
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 13: first time was okay, I helped him get it.

313
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: I got it for him and that was it. Then

314
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: the next year they came up and I said, why

315
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 2: are you up here.

316
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 13: We took care of you. They said, no, no, they

317
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 13: make us come up every year. I said, you got

318
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 13: to be kidding. So we took care.

319
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: Of them, speaker.

320
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 13: We got them long term, ten year financing, more money

321
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 13: than they were asking for. And I would say, I

322
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 13: think I'm the most popular with.

323
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: Those fifty people. They liked me.

324
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 13: They couldn't believe it because they were forced to come

325
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 13: out this for forty years.

326
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: Every year they'd come.

327
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 13: Up, you know that bent they'd come up, and they

328
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 13: became some of them became friends of mine because they

329
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 13: come up looking for money all the time. And I said,

330
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 13: we got to get you, like some long term money.

331
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 13: And I said to them, the only bad thing is

332
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 13: I'll probably never see you again. And largely, but I

333
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 13: see a couple of them here. Largely that happened, but

334
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 13: I took care of them. But they never had to

335
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 13: come up. So it was a big thing. I was

336
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 13: talked about last night, actually on television today, as the

337
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 13: American people turned to God in prayer. We continue a

338
00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 13: tradition older than our independence itself. Two hundred and fifty

339
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 13: years ago, on June twelfth, seventeen seventy five, the Continental

340
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 13: Congress appointed a day of fasting in prayer so that

341
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 13: Americans fighting for their liberty could seek the help of

342
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 13: the Almighty. And when you look at that, June twelfth,

343
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 13: seventeen seventy five, so we have a very very special

344
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 13: day coming up. You know, we have a lot of

345
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 13: them during this term, and interestingly I had.

346
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 2: None of them.

347
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 13: Had I not had a rigged election, had the election

348
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 13: not been rigged, I would have been out of here.

349
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: I would have been gone. The radical left would have

350
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: said we got rid of him finally. But no, now

351
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: they have me for another four years. We talk about

352
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 2: that and.

353
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 13: In the other four years, you know, I sort of said,

354
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 13: I got the Olympics to come in, and I got

355
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 13: the World Cup to come in, and I said, you know,

356
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 13: the sad part is it's going to be in the

357
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 13: what would be the third term. None of it came

358
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 13: in during the what would be the normal you know,

359
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 13: the more normal way of doing it, like counting the

360
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 13: proper votes, et cetera, et cetera, and just going on.

361
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 13: I would have been I wouldn't have been president. But

362
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 13: now we end up with four years later and we

363
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 13: have the two hundred and fifty year anniversary, and that

364
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 13: will be June twelfth, two hundred and fifty years. And

365
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 13: you have Flag Day, so there's something happening on Flag

366
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 13: that's my birthday. But so you have two hundred and

367
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 13: fifty years in this term, you have the Olympics. In

368
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 13: this term, we have the Olympics going to Los Angeles, and.

369
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 2: We have the World Cup.

370
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 13: And I was very instrumental in all three of them.

371
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 13: They said, would you do it? Because another president refused

372
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 13: to call. They needed for the Olympics and the World Cup,

373
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 13: they needed the support of the president, and that particular

374
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 13: president refused to talk to them. He didn't want to

375
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 13: talk to them. I don't know why exactly, but he

376
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 13: didn't want to talk. So they said, could you talk,

377
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 13: and so I talked, and I talked him into it,

378
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 13: and we got those two and we have two hundred

379
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 13: and fifty years. So this is going to be really

380
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 13: four years of celebration. So get ready, and we're going to.

381
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: Always bring God with us. We're going to bring God

382
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 2: to those celebrations.

383
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 13: We're not going to forget about God. In a letter

384
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 13: to wife Abigail, John Adams wrote of his first National

385
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 13: Day of Prayer, millions will be upon their knees at

386
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 13: once before their Great Creator, imploring his forgiveness and blessing,

387
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 13: and asking for his favor on the American cause. Beautiful today,

388
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 13: more than two and a half centuries later, in the

389
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 13: heart of a free and proud America, we rejoice that

390
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 13: God answered those prayers, and I think God answered other

391
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 13: prayers because He's put in an administration to run this

392
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 13: country that's going to make you proud again. It's going

393
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 13: to make you believe and believe more again. And we're

394
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 13: going to have a country that's very strong. We're already

395
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 13: in just one hundred days. We're respected all the world.

396
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 13: Every leader's calling want to have a meeting, appointments. They

397
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 13: weren't calling so much last few years. They had no

398
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 13: respect for our country. Our country was doing very, very poorly,

399
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 13: as you know, millions and millions of people pouring into

400
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 13: our borders from jails and mental institutions and gang members.

401
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: It was terrible situation.

402
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 13: And yesterday I don't know if christin Nom is here

403
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 13: or Tom Holman, but yesterday we had the lowest safest

404
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 13: border and history.

405
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: Ninety nine point nine nine nine.

406
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 13: In other words, three people got in three and in

407
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 13: the previous it was hundreds of thousands of people were

408
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 13: coming in. We had three people, and we have it lockdown,

409
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 13: but we are allowing people in, but they have to

410
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 13: come in legally.

411
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: So it's a big thing. So I think it's a

412
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 2: very big thing. It's so so appropriate that here we are,

413
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: so many things.

414
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 13: Are happening, so many great things, and we won't let

415
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 13: countries rip us off off anymore. You know a lot

416
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 13: of people like to talk about tariffs, Well, tariffs is

417
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 13: exactly what they were doing for us, you know, when

418
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 13: you want to defend that, they're beautiful thing for us.

419
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 13: If you can use them, if you can get away

420
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 13: with using them, it's going to make us very rich.

421
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 13: We'll be paying off debt, we'll be lowering your taxes

422
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 13: very substantially because so much money will be taken in

423
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 13: that we'll be able to lower your taxes even beyond

424
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 13: the tax cut that you're going to be getting hopefully

425
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 13: with the big beautiful bill. And so it's one of

426
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 13: those things which just I think it's just a really

427
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 13: amazing time the spirit that we have in this country

428
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 13: is greater than I've ever seen it before. And it

429
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 13: started on November fifth, when we won every swing state.

430
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 13: The We won the popular vote by millions, We won

431
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 13: every district. Think of this, the districts. It was two thousand,

432
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 13: seven hundred and fifty versus five hundred and five, and

433
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 13: we got three hundred and twelve electoral votes.

434
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: Everyone said, maybe he can get to seventy. We got

435
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: three hundred and twelve.

436
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 13: It was a great election and it has just revitalized

437
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 13: the country. And I think I can say one other

438
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 13: thing that's said to me really incredible that it can

439
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 13: go so quickly. If you remember six months ago, prior

440
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 13: to the election, we were.

441
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: Unable to get people to join our military.

442
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 13: We had a waiting list that was a mile long

443
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 13: of empty spaces, and.

444
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 2: We couldn't get anybody to join.

445
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 13: We didn't know actually what to do, and I wasn't

446
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 13: in the administration, but they didn't know what to do.

447
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 13: And it was embarrassing to him, frankly, and it should be.

448
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 13: And that included police and firement.

449
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: You couldn't get people to join anything having to do with.

450
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 13: Any of the military groups, any of the law enforcement groups,

451
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 13: first responded groups. You couldn't get anybody to join. And

452
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 13: as of yesterday, we had the largest number of recruits

453
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 13: in the history of our country.

454
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 8: Think of that.

455
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 13: And the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, all of a

456
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 13: coast guard, all of them.

457
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 2: They're full.

458
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 13: And we have a waiting list and we're actually picking

459
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 13: the ones we want, and we're trying to take care

460
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 13: of everybody, but you're picking the.

461
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: Ones you want. And it's been amazing.

462
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 13: And to think just six months ago you were hearing

463
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 13: that people weren't signing up, and that includes now our

464
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 13: police force. Our police forces were really starving for people.

465
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 13: And this includes our police forces. They're all fulled up

466
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 13: and full up and they're they're in great shape. It's

467
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 13: amazing the turn and mostly that's spirit.

468
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 2: You know, they have spirit. It's nothing else. They have spirit.

469
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 13: They love our country again, and we're making our country great.

470
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 13: We're making our country greater than ever before. I created

471
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 13: a historic White House Faith Office and the West Wing

472
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 13: and that's going to be in office.

473
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: That's been very well.

474
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 13: I see already you have a lot of people going

475
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 13: back and forth and that's good. That's what we want

476
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 13: to defend and represent people of all faith and their

477
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 13: religious freedoms.

478
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: At home and abroad. But they're coming. Really, it's probably

479
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: doubled the action in the White House.

480
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 13: It's been amazing to watch and beautiful to watch. The

481
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 13: White House can handle it. This important office will work

482
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 13: to protect vulnerable women and children, strengthen the American family,

483
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 13: promote the dignity of work and choice and education, and

484
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 13: people that are in trouble can come in and they

485
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 13: take care of them.

486
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes they'll send them to a doctor.

487
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 13: Sometimes Paula does this, and Jenny others that are in

488
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 13: the office. They're doing an amazing job. And I wanted

489
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 13: them to have that office. Never happened before. I don't

490
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 13: think that's ever happened before. Right, the people of faith

491
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 13: have never been allowed in the White House. Will probably

492
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 13: be sued tomorrow because they're going to say church.

493
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 2: Separation of church and state can't do that.

494
00:26:59,320 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 14: Right.

495
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 2: Well, when Pam will win that suit, she wins them.

496
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: She ultimately she wins them. She gets them. Sometimes they

497
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 2: get a.

498
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 13: Little a judge it's not so good, but she ultimately wins.

499
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 13: That's what it's all about, right, Pam, I pardoned Americans

500
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 13: of faith thrown in jail for praying and peaceful protest.

501
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 13: We reinstated service members thrown out of the military over

502
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 13: religious objections to Biden's vaccine mandate. We did a vaccine,

503
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 13: but we didn't do a mandate. He did a mandate,

504
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 13: threw him out if they didn't take it.

505
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: Can't do that.

506
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 13: I signed an executive order to combat anti Semitism and

507
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 13: set up a DOJ task force to eradicate the anti

508
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 13: Christian bias.

509
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: We've taken away a lot of Uh, you.

510
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 13: Know, what's sit down? Please, I didn't even know you

511
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 13: were standing. What an honor that.

512
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 2: You stood so long.

513
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 13: Wow, that's a great honor. Thank you, because I know

514
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 13: if Biden were up here, you would have been seated.

515
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 13: I have never stood up. Now, that's a great honor.

516
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 13: I didn't realize it. I signed an executive order to

517
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 13: combat anti Semitism.

518
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: It's a big thing, a big thing.

519
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 13: And I set up a DOJ task force, which is

520
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 13: really a big thing. And Dan, you're going to be

521
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 13: involved in it to eradegate anti Christian bias. You haven't

522
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 13: heard that, but there's anti Christian bias also. And in

523
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 13: just a few moments, I'll also be signing an executive

524
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 13: order creating a Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty, which is

525
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 13: really why we're here more than any other reason. Many

526
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 13: of the new commissioners are here with us, including people

527
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 13: that have been with me from the beginning. The chairman

528
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 13: is Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.

529
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: Whose idea this was, and stand up.

530
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 13: Dan, What a great guy, what a great political person.

531
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 13: He's a amazing politician, Lieutenant governor, and he's a man

532
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 13: of great religion. Thank you very much, Dan, as well

533
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 13: as doctor Ben Carson.

534
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: Ben.

535
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 13: I don't have to say much about Ben. I don't

536
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 13: have to say much. He's been with me from the beginning.

537
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 13: You know, he was campaigning against me originally. Can I

538
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 13: tell that story?

539
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: Ben?

540
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 8: You might?

541
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: Are you steer? You don't mind?

542
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 13: Because he was campaigning. He was very effective, and he

543
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 13: was going up in the polls. And he looked at

544
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 13: me about three or four debates and he said, you

545
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 13: know you're going to win by a lot, don't you.

546
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 13: This was during twenty sixteen, And I said, what do

547
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 13: you mean, Ben, what do you mean you're campaigning? Don't

548
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 13: say that, Ben, you're campaigning.

549
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: You have a shot. He was a little bit behind

550
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: to please pretty far far enough.

551
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 13: But he said, you know you're going to win. These

552
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 13: people can't beat you. Nobody's going to be able to

553
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 13: beat you. I said, I said, because God.

554
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: Is with you. I said, that's nice. Then he said

555
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: it once again in the church.

556
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 13: You remember that, Ben. He pulled me over, he said,

557
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 13: remember what I told you. God is with you.

558
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: And we went on to win. Three times we won.

559
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: We won the first time.

560
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 13: We did great, The second time we won. The second

561
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 13: time everybody now is that but we made it too

562
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 13: big to rig.

563

Speaker 2: The third time too big too. They tried, they tried.

564
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 13: So I want to thank Ben, who has been with

565
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,360

570
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 2: Come here, Phil, Come here. This guy he came up.

571
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 2: He wanted to do an interview.

572
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 13: And I knew him as a very I mean, everybody

573
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 13: sort of knows it right, but he wanted he said,

574
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 13: you know, they don't really understand the real Trump. I

575
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 13: want to do it, and he did the nicest interview,

576
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 13: talked about things that nobody ever asked me, and a

577
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 13: lot of people watched it.

578
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: I was a little surprised.

579
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 13: He's got his own network and he's got he's.

580
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 2: Become seriously rich. He said, I'll put it on Merit

581
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 2: and I said, what the hell is Merrit? He said,

582
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 2: that's my network.

583
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 13: I said, well, I did it as a favor for him,

584
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 13: but it turned out to be a favor for me

585
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 13: because so many people, millions and millions of people watched it.

586
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: Would you like to say a few words, Are you shy?

587
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 2: Let's go, mister President.

588
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 15: I can't tell you, first off, how proud I am

589
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 15: to see religion coming back to.

590
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: The White House.

591
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 15: God bless you, God bless you for doing this. And

592
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 15: let me tell you, it's not a popular thing to

593
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 15: do in America right now. And Speaker Johnson and is here,

594
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 15: and you know he's a man of religion. But you know,

595
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 15: I've sat with President Trump with no cameras around, nobody listening,

596
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 15: nobody watching, and I'm telling you, this is a man

597
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 15: of deep faith, a man of deep conviction, and this

598
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 15: is a man that wants this country to have a

599
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 15: heart and have religion, and God bless America forgiven us

600
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 15: President Donald Trump. And when nobody's listening and nobody's looking,

601
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 15: this man cares about every single person in America, independent

602
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 15: of race, color, creed, whatever, and it comes from the

603
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 15: heart with him. And I am proud to call him

604
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 15: my president. And God bless you, mister President.

605
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: God bless you, God bless you.

606
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 15: And don't be so surprised when millions of people watch

607
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 15: my interviews. When you it's tens of millions. With me,

608
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 15: it's millions. You're ten x. Whenever I talk to you,

609
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 15: be careful and thank you for leading me to be

610
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 15: on this commission.

611
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: We love it. Be careful for them.

612
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 13: I asked him, Please be careful, Phil We don't want

613
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 13: you falling because when you fall, it doesn't work. That's

614
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 13: been proven. That's been proven. But he doesn't fall. He

615
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 13: doesn't know how to fall. I also want to look

628
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 13: It's Cardinal Dolan, and Cardinal Dolan is in Rome.

629
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 2: I just left Rome. It's beautiful service, but he's in

630
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 2: Rome having to vote for the next pope. I got

631
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: extremely upset. I said, you can't do that. This is

632
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 2: much more important. He actually was very He was actually torn,

633
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: if you want to know the truth, which is pretty good.

634
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 13: But he's on the council too, and he's a great

635
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 13: guy and I've known him for a long time. I'd

636
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 13: like to ask if I might to have Dan Patrick,

637
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 13: one of the most highly respected men in politics. We

638
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 13: worked on something having to do with your governor. We

639
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 13: worked on something having to do with school choice, and

640
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 13: we knocked it over the fences. First to really and

641
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 13: that's the ultimate school choice in Texas and he's been

642
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 13: fighting for it for years and we got it over

643
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 13: the line.

644
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 2: Pretty easily as it turned out. So please come up

645
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 2: and speak. Thank you. Thank you, mister President, for making

646
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: this happen.

647
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 14: Mister President, thank you for establishing what I think will

648
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 14: be one of the most important presidential commissions in history.

649
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 14: It will be one of your great legacies, of which

650
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 14: you will have many. We have in this country, we

651
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 14: have a magnificent inheritance of religious liberty, and believer today,

652
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 14: no matter your faith, has a claim to that inheritance.

653
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 14: We were a nation birth by prayer, founded on the

654
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 14: Judaeo Christian ethic to ensure that people could worship as

655
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 14: they wished without interference from government.

656
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 2: But that is no longer the case.

657
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 14: The last administration attacked people of faith for four years.

658
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 2: There's a saying.

659
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 14: That no one should get between a doctor and a patient.

660
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 8: I think we.

661
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 14: Would say no one should get between God and a believer.

662
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 14: No one should get between God and those seeking him.

663
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: There are so many people in this country.

664
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 14: They may even have a family, they may have a

665
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 14: job with a lot of employees, but they're alone and

666
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 14: the only person they can turn to is someone who's

667
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 14: not listening. But they can turn to God because he

668
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 14: is their refuge and he is their wellspring of hope,

669
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 14: and no one, no government, no school district, in any

670
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 14: level of government or in the private sector, should say

671
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 14: to someone you.

672
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: Can't pray here or where. That is our right. That

673
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 2: is our right.

674
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 14: Now, mister President, you have given us an incredible committee.

675
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 14: I'm a little overwhelmed. I feel like a pair of

676
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 14: brown shoes in a room full of tuxedos. If you

677
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 14: want to know, these are high caliber, the foremost faith leaders, scholars,

678
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 14: thinkers that you've put together. So on this day, mister President,

679
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 14: on this day, you.

680
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 8: Are restoring.

681
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 14: The hopes and the prayers of millions upon millions of

682
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 14: believers of all faiths. There's never been a president who

683
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 14: has invoked the name of Jesus more than you. There's

684
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 14: never been a president who says, yes, I love Jesus,

685
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 14: but love people.

686
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: Of all faiths.

687
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 14: As doctor Phil said, you have a heart for every

688
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 14: American and you're showing that today. I'm proud to represent

689
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 14: you as chair, proud to have Ben Carson as our

690
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 14: vice chair, and every member of this committee. We will

691
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 14: serve you, we will serve the people, and most importantly,

692
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 14: we will serve God. Thank you, mis pressing.

693
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 2: Well, thank you very much. Dan, beautiful, what a you're

694
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 2: going to do? An incredible job.

695
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 13: He came to me with this idea, called Paula, called Jenny,

696
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 13: called all of us, and it just came together. And

697
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 13: we'll be adding some incredible names, some of the people

698
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 13: that are here right now that have been with me

699
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 13: from the beginning.

700
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: So I'm sitting right over there, my.

701
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 13: Friends, my pastors and ministers and rabbis. We'll be adding

702
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 13: quite a few. It's very important, and they'll be largely

703
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 13: when they can. We're going to be using the White House.

704
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 13: We have plenty of rooms, so we'll be using the

705
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 13: White House to have some.

706
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: Of your meetings.

707
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 13: And it's a real honor to have you, Dan, You've

708
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 13: been so respected for so long. As we defend religious

709
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 13: freedom in America, we're also standing up against religious persecution

710
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 13: around the world. With us today are the parents of

711
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 13: Eden Alexander, the last living American held hostage by Hamas.

712
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you.

713
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 13: And we don't know how he's doing, really do We

714
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 13: don't know. We think we know and hopefully positive. Two

715
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 13: months ago we were pretty sure it looked like he

716
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 13: was getting out, but they've toughened up a little bit

717
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 13: and it's a terrible thing.

718
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: I know what you're going through.

719
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 13: A New Jersey boy Eden moved to Israel in twenty

720
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 13: twenty two and was taken hostage on the vicious October

721
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 13: seventh attack on Jewish people. And now I will tell

722
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 13: you that's an attack that would have never happened because

723
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 13: the money was given by Iran to Hamas. Iran had

724
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 13: no money when I was president. They were out of money,

725
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 13: they were busted, they had no money. They weren't giving

726
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 13: it to Hamas, they weren't giving it to Hesbulah, they

727
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 13: weren't giving it to anybody because they didn't have any money.

728
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 13: They were just about And in fact, I put sanctions

729
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 13: on last night. Any oil that anybody takes from Iran

730
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 13: is not allowed to do business in the United States

731
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 13: of America, which.

732
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: Is what I did the last time.

733
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 13: That drove them into a very bad state. And they

734
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 13: were ready to make a deal, except for the election

735
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 13: didn't turn out the way it should have. It was

736
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 13: a rigged election and we might as well say it,

737
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 13: but it was totally rigged. It was disgraceful. Well, I

738
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 13: think it's going to go down as one of the

739
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 13: biggest issues we wouldn't have think of it, your son

740
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 13: would be home. You wouldn't have had October seventh. You

741
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 13: wouldn't have had the Ukraine Russian horror show that's going

742
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 13: on that we're trying to stop, where five thousand young Russians,

743
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 13: mostly Russians and Ukrainian soldiers are being killed every single week,

744
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 13: five thousand a week. So think of those parents you

745
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 13: know from Russia. They're from Ukraine for the most part,

746
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 13: and other people, but for the most part. And that

747
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 13: would have never happened. Was never going to happen, no

748
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 13: chance of it happening. Putin and I talked all the time.

749
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 13: He knew it wasn't going to happen. I told him

750
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 13: it wasn't going to happen, and through gross incompetence, it

751
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 13: did take place.

752
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: And it's a horrible thing. And you wouldn't have had inflation.

753
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 2: Think of it. You wouldn't have had inflation. You wouldn't have.

754
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 13: Had the horror show at Afghanistan, which I think is

755
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 13: what gave Putin the resolve to go in and do

756
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 13: what he did, because he looked at how badly we

757
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 13: got out. We lost thirteen soldiers, forty two were horribly injured.

758
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 13: Nobody ever talks about them, the legs, the arm, the arms,

759
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 13: the face, horribly injured. That would have never happened, not

760
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 13: even possible to have happened, and we would have been

761
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 13: out before he was out.

762
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 2: I was the one that got it down to the

763
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 2: five thousand.

764
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 13: But we were going to keep Bogram, the big Air

765
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 13: Force base, which is one hour away from where China makes.

766
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 2: Its nuclear that's what they do. They make the nuclear

767
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 2: missiles and one hour away from Bogram. And I said,

768
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 2: can't give up.

769
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 13: They gave up Bagram, and right now China occupies Bogram.

770
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: So sad, so crazy.

771
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 13: One of the biggest airbases in the world, among the

772
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 13: strongest and longest runways anywhere in the world, one hour

773
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 13: away from where China makes its nuclear missiles, would have

774
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 13: been great to have.

775
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 2: Well, we were keeping it, but they ran out of

776
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: there like nobody can believe.

777
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 13: And I think Putin saw that and he said, Wow,

778
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 13: this is a great time I can go get Because

779
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 13: it was the apple of his eye. I could always

780
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 13: see that. I talked to him for hours. It was

781
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 13: the apple of his eye. But I said, glad of me,

782
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 13: don't even think about it. And he wouldn't have thought

783
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 13: about it. But when he saw that, I think that's

784
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 13: the reason. Actually he gained some additional courage and he

785
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 13: went in Audi and Yayelle, cannot imagine.

786
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 2: Your pain.

787
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 13: I just can't, Audi and yell. But we're all alongside

788
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 13: of you. We stand by you, and we're going to

789
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 13: we're going to do everything possible in the very short

790
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 13: period of time. You know, as you know, things are

791
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 13: heating up there. I've gotten a lot of hostages out.

792
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 2: We were getting nobody out.

793
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 13: A lot of them are out, but they want to

794
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 13: do it as slowly as possible because they use them

795
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 13: as pawns. It's a horrible thing. But we're working very,

796
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 13: very hard to save your son. We have news coming out,

797
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 13: both good and bad.

798
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 2: But working very hard, and I.

799
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 13: Have many parents seeing me. I was with hostages. Ten

800
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 13: hostages I got. They came about three weeks ago to

801
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 13: the Oval office right here, and they said to me

802
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 13: it was just terrible. And I said, interestingly, because you know,

803
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 13: you see, there's always some heart in somebody, you think,

804
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 13: I said, so, you've seen like hundreds of hamas right, Yes, yes,

805
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 13: they lived in a pipe. They didn't really live in

806
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 13: a tunnel. They lived in a pipe that was this

807
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 13: big they could barely breathe.

808
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 2: Amazing.

809
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 13: One one was in for three hundred and five days.

810
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 13: One was in for over five hundred days. But I

811
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 13: got them out and through very tough, very tough.

812
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 2: The whole thing was very tough.

813
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 13: I said, did you ever see any love or kindness?

814
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 13: Like did any of these people that were guarding you,

815
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 13: the Hamas people? Did they ever look at you and say,

816
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 13: don't worry, You'll be all right, Or did they ever

817
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 13: look at you and say, I'm going to sneak you

818
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 13: a little extra bread or a little extra something for eating.

819
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 2: Did they ever give you any hope? He says no,

820
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 2: not one.

821
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 13: I said, you mean, so, not one person looked at

822
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 13: you during your one and a half years in there.

823
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 13: One was there longer than that, one was there a

824
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 13: little shorter than at different times. I said, not one. No,

825
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 13: they used to give us a smack on the face.

826
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 13: They would never do that, they not want. So there

827
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 13: wasn't one person out of hundreds that said I'm going

828
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 13: to sneak you a little bread, I'm gonna make sure

829
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 13: you get home safely.

830
00:44:58,960 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 2: Not one.

831
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 13: And that amazed me because in some really bad situations,

832
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 13: you'd have some people like that, you'd have some people

833
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 13: like that, but not one. And they were telling the truth.

834
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 13: I mean, they were telling the absolute truth. And when

835
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 13: I talked to them about the way they suffered, it

836
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 13: was incredible. In fact, I'd say, four or five look very,

837
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 13: very solid and normal, and four or five look like

838
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 13: they've been through hell.

839
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 2: But they were all through the same hell.

840
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 13: And I looked at him, I said, I can't imagine

841
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 13: what you've gone through.

842
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 2: But we're going to do what we have to do.

843
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 2: But I asked them a question.

844
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 13: One was wearing fifty nine, and I said, what does

845
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 13: fifty nine represent? That's how many are left. I said,

846
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 13: all right, well get them out. I said, are they

847
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 13: all living now? Twenty four a living? I said twenty four?

848
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 13: He said, yeah, twenty four. Only twenty four, said twenty

849
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 13: four out of the fifty nine are living. And they

850
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 13: knew because they had just gotten out. And what are

851
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 13: the others? The others are all dead. But I spoke

852
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 13: to the parents of the others, and as much as

853
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 13: you want your beautiful boy out, they want their beautiful boy.

854
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 2: And for the most part.

855
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 13: As you know, boys young boys for the most part,

856
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 13: But they want them out so badly. I said, is

857
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 13: he okay, No, he's dead, but they want him out

858
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 13: so badly, almost as much.

859
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: As if he were alive.

860
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 13: It was an amazingly sad thing to say, the level

861
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 13: of love for the children. And they didn't even view

862
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 13: them as dead. They needed the body of their son,

863
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 13: and they knew they were dead. But think of that,

864
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 13: out of fifty nine, you had twenty four that were living.

865
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 13: And now I understand it's not even that number. And

866
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 13: young people don't die. They're very resilient. You know, you

867
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 13: don't have young people dying. Young people are killed. Old

868
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 13: people die. They can't take it. They couldn't breathe. In

869
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 13: some cases, can hit them in a pipe closed at

870
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 13: both ends. If you're claustrophobic, it's a big problem. And

871
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 13: many people are claustrophobic. But young people live. Old people die.

872
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 13: But these were young people that were dying. So you

873
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 13: know what, you know what took place. As we bow

874
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 13: our heads this beautiful day in the Rose Garden on

875
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 13: the National Day of Prayer, we once again trust our

876
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 13: lives to our liberties and our happiness to the hands

877
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 13: of the creator who gave them to us.

878
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 2: And who loves us, who loves us.

879
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 13: Think of it where you are now and so beautiful.

880
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 13: But it's so nice because here you are this unbelievable setting.

881
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 13: I think no setting like it in the world when

882
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 13: you add up the importance. I take people into the

883
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 13: Oval Office and the biggest people foreign leaders, princes, kings,

884
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 13: queens and presidents and prime ministers and a couple of

885
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 13: dicty I guess they don't say that. They say no,

886
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 13: I'm a prime minister or I'm a president, and I say.

887
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 2: No, you're a dictator. But that's okay. But I bring

888
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 2: them into the Oval Office and they just want to look.

889
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 13: They can't believe it. It's the most important. And they

890
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 13: all have beautiful offices. They are, in some cases the

891
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 13: wealthiest people in the world, in some cases the most

892
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 13: powerful people in the world. But they go into the

893
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 13: Oval Office and here you are right outside the Oval Office, and.

894
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 2: In one way you're so lucky.

895
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 13: But in another way, you're role fighting for people that

896
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 13: you know are not so fortunate right now, because people

897
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 13: like your beautiful.

898
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 2: Son, people that are being really tortured because the level

899
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 2: of anger and meanness thrown off by human the human being.

900
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 13: You know, they say, the lions and the tigers aren't

901
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 13: nearly as vicious as the human because they only kill

902
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 13: for food. They kill for food, they don't kill they

903
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 13: kill for food. The human being kills for sport. They

904
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 13: try and destroy people, killing or otherwise for sport. And

905
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 13: we've got some bad ones out there, really bad ones.

906
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 13: We have some bad ones here. We have some bad

907
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 13: ones in this government, but we picked good ones. But

908
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 13: we had some bad ones in the last four years.

909
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 13: The things that they did and the things they didn't do.

910
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 13: Your son shouldn't have been there for a long That

911
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 13: would have been so much easier to solve immediately instead

912
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 13: of years later, that it should have never happened. October seventh, remember,

913
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 13: would have never happened. So as we bow our heads

914
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 13: in this beautiful day once again, we have to.

915
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 2: Trust our God.

916
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 13: Because our God knows exactly where we're going, what we're doing,

917
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 13: knows every inch of our life. And may he continue

918
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 13: to hear our prayers to guide our steps and build

919
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 13: up our beloved nation to even greater heights.

920
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: We're in the process of doing some great things.

921
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 13: I get criticized no matter what, but I just go

922
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 13: forward because everyone knows we're right. All we're doing is

923
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 13: what they've done to us for forty years, but we're

924
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 13: doing it bigger and better.

925
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: That's the only thing we're doing.

926
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 13: And now i'd like to ask our faith leaders, including

927
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 13: some of the ones that will be our faith leaders

928
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 13: on the Council, to come up, if you will. The ministers, rabbis,

929
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 13: please come up. Emoms who I got to know in Michigan.

930
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 2: I loved them. They were great. By the way.

931
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 13: They said, we don't want to die. I said, you

932
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 13: want to die? They said, we don't want to die.

933
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 13: They said, what about the thirty eight virgins? They say,

934
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 13: that's none of we don't know anything about it. And

935
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,280
Speaker 13: we won the State of Michigan speaker by a tremendous

936
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 13: and we had tremendous support. But we have some people

937
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,919
Speaker 13: in the audience, and Ralph, come on up, get up here, Ralph,

938
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 13: if you see anybody, just get them up here, because

939
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 13: these are people that have been just unbelievable supporters of

940
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 13: what we're doing and doing it right. And I'd like

941
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 13: to start by asking paul A White to lead us

942
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 13: in prayer to start off, and each person is going

943
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 13: to say a few words that a prayer.

944
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 2: Thank you.

945
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 16: Thank you, sir, Thank you President Trump.

946
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 17: You are truly the greatest champion of faith we've ever had.

947
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 17: Can someone say, men, just a few words, what a

948
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 17: sacred and historic moment to stand in the Rose Garden,

949
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 17: in the People's House, and President Trump has graciously welcomed

950
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 17: us in, surrounded by leaders of faith and government from

951
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 17: every background and every tradition, to honor what anchors us all,

952
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 17: and that is prayer. We are here because we understand

953
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 17: the power prayer today is not about symbolism, It is

954
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 17: about substance. And we gather because we believe in this

955
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 17: power prayer to bring peace in the storm, clarity and

956
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 17: chaos and confusion, unity and division, and strength and weakness.

957
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 17: Prayers not a religious act, it's a national necessity. And

958
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 17: as senior writer to a President Trump of the newly

959
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 17: created and historic White House Faith Office, I do carry

960
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 17: a great responsibility to ensure that the voice of faith

961
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 17: is not only heard, but also honored at the highest

962
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 17: levels of government. And under President Donald Trump's leadership, faith

963
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 17: has not been pushed aside. It has been brought back

964
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 17: to where it always belongs, and that is center.

965
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 16: We'd be here forever. But I can tell you a

966
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 16: few things.

967
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 17: In just the last one hundred days, over one thousand

968
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 17: faith leaders have come into the White House.

969
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 2: Think about that.

970
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 17: We've had an if Tar dinner, a past sober and Easter,

971
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 17: many briefings, listening sections, working sessions, and they're not here

972
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 17: for ceremony, but they're here for collaboration, creating and crafting

973
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 17: policy and sharing their hearts. The President House of Faith Office,

974
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,760
Speaker 17: as he said in the West Wing, that is historical,

975
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 17: never been done with Centers of Faith launched across every

976
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 17: federal department and agency to work on aid initiatives, many

977
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 17: of which.

978
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 16: Have already been highlighted.

979
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 17: But our number one is to always defend religious liberty,

980
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 17: combating anti Semitic, anti Christian, and any additional forms of

981
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 17: religious bias. Promoting foster care and adoption in partnership with

982
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 17: faith based entities, then we have brain health and fostering

983
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 17: minds and flourishing minds. The President has provided us with

984
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 17: an incredible staff, and I've got to brag on them

985
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 17: for one second. Jenny Corn, our Faith director, please stand,

986
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 17: Jackson Lane, our faith Engagement. Please stand, Martin Marx, our

987
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 17: Jewish Engagement. Please stand. Cassie Dulan, our policy Advisor, Please stand,

988
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 17: Dave Donaldson, our grant's coordinator, please stand. And that is

989
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 17: just here in the White House, under the Executive Office

990
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 17: of the President. He says faith matters and he knows

991
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 17: the heart of the American people. Executive orders were signed

992
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 17: to end the weaponization of government against people faith, including parents,

993
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 17: traditional Catholics that were spied on by the FBI, pro

994
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,720
Speaker 17: life advocates. Protections were restored for service members and healthcare

995
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 17: workers that stood firm for their beliefs. And my iPad broke.

996
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 17: So I'm making sure that I stick to everything and

997
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 17: go over the note. Sorry for the licking of the fingers,

998
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 17: and America is once again seen as a moral and

999
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 17: a spiritual leader on the global stage. This, I can

1000
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 17: say unequivocally, and I'm going to pray, is the fruit

1001
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 17: of a president who welcomes God into the very center

1002
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 17: of decision made.

1003
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 16: Now let's pray. Father God.

1004
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 17: We come before you in the name of Jesus, with

1005
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 17: open hearts and a surrendered spirit, humbled by your mercy

1006
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 17: and grateful.

1007
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 2: For this moment.

1008
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 17: Thank you for the nation, thank you for your hand

1009
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 17: upon America, and thank you for every faith leader and

1010
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 17: leader and their voice that has gathered here today, we

1011
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 17: lift out President Donald Trump, our president, and my friend,

1012
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 17: cover him, keep him, surround him with divine supernatural protection.

1013
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 17: Let every assignment of the enemy roll off of him,

1014
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 17: and every purpose of Heaven be fulfilled in him. Grant

1015
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 17: him wisdom beyond human understanding and capability, and give him divine.

1016
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 16: Dreams visions show him.

1017
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 17: We call for a spiritual reset in our nation, a

1018
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 17: return to what is right, a reverence for what is sacred,

1019
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 17: a re in alignment with your divine purpose. Let your

1020
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,760
Speaker 17: favor rest upon every righteous leader.

1021
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 16: Let justice flow through our government. Let healing go to

1022
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 16: every broken in place.

1023
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 17: And we pray this boldly, We pray this strong, We

1024
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 17: pray this by faith, and I pray this in the

1025
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 17: name which is above every name, the name of Jesus.

1026
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,240

1123

1124
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 19: Schneerson of sacred Memory, who taught that the best way

1125
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 19: to bring together two feuding sides is to focus how

1126
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 19: they are actually all on the same side, as we

1127
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 19: are one society, one nation, living under you, God, in

1128

1129
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 19: ultimately indivisible with liberty and justice for all. And may

1130
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 19: we usher in the long awaited time your prophets have

1131
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 19: promised of peace and understanding between people's kindness and grace,

1132

Speaker 21: It's two days later unanimous vote in the House of Representatives.

1142
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 21: Congress worked together well because they knew that priority. They

1143
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 21: knew we're a nation of faith. It's in our dna.

1144
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,080

01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 21: and the faithful gathered here in the Rose Garden, in

1149
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 21: this beautiful place. We thank you for your extraordinary blessings

1150
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 21: upon our nation almost two hundred and fifty years now,

1151
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 21: as we near the great anniversary of this grand experiment

1152
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 21: in self governance that you've given us. God, we are

1153
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 21: reminded of the admonitions of the founding fathers, our first

1154
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 21: President George Washington, who reminded us that of all dispositions

1155
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 21: and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality

1156
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 21: are indispensable supports. They understood God, that we had your

1157
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 21: favor because we understood our place before you, that our

1158
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 21: rights did not derive from government but from you, and

1159
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 21: that those inalienable rights, inalienable rights, cannot be taken away.

1160
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 21: So Father, we commit our nation to you. We ask

1161
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 21: you for wisdom, discernment, and stamina for the President, for

1162
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 21: the Vice President JD. Vance, for everyone in the cabinet,

1163
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 21: and all the leaders in Congress, and all these faith

Speaker 22: pursuit of happiness are given not by government or popular consensus,

1185
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:22,920

1190
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 22: We ask that you might give us the grace to

1191
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 22: preserve it and strengthen it. Oh, God, to whom every

01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 22: human power is subject, We beg you to bless our

Speaker 22: President as he exercises the prerogatives of his high office.

1194

01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 18: I mean almost every almost every college.

1382
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can imagine.

1383
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 24: I can.

1384
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 1: I can either given a lecture of speech or started

1385
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: the chapter there.

1386
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 34: So my daughter doesn't have a university degree, so she

1387
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:51,559
Speaker 34: started a university.

1388
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: So that's that's, that's that's but this is good.

1389
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:57,360
Speaker 34: Okay, So so that means you do have a university education.

1390
01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:59,679
Speaker 34: You just caught it a very different way, right, Okay,

1391
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 34: So so you decided it's interesting too because It's like,

1392
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 34: I asked you what your motivation for doing this was,

1393
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,080
Speaker 34: and the first thing you said was that you didn't

1394
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 34: have a degree. So that's very interesting. So what were

1395
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 34: you also curious about going to campuses?

1396
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 32: Like?

1397
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 18: Yes, and that's really a great point. So just as

1398
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 18: a little background, I wanted to go to West Point,

1399
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 18: I didn't get in. I told my parents I would

1400
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 18: take a gap year to kind of figure this out

1401
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 18: because I saw some momentum of a local political group

1402
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 18: that was out of the Cookie group by the way, Okay,

1403
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 18: that kind of kept growing. I said, I want to

1404
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 18: keep this going and play this out, see where this

1405
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 18: can be. And this was after high school, just after

1406
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:40,679
Speaker 18: high school, that's correct. That was the summer I graduated

1407
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 18: high school.

1408
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 2: Okay.

1409
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 18: A really amazing mentor by the name of Bill Montgomery

1410
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 18: may he rest in peace, was the only guy ever

1411
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 18: he said, Charlie, you shouldn't go to college. I was like,

1412
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:52,680
Speaker 18: that's the most radical thing someone could say. So that

1413
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:55,679
Speaker 18: idea was planted in my head and I said, Okay,

1414
01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:56,680
Speaker 18: I'll just take a gap year.

1415
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 1: I'll kind of figure things way. Why did he tell

1416
01:24:58,240 --> 01:24:59,679
Speaker 1: you that? She thought?

1417
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 18: In his own words, he sent an entrepreneurial gift and

1418
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 18: skid that I had and a drive.

1419
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: He was a kind of an entrepreneurial, so he.

1420
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 34: Could see the entrepreneurial part and he didn't think that

1421
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 34: would work well in Calle.

1422
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he said you have to go create. Not

1423
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:18,640
Speaker 1: oh good, oh that was what he said, you have

1424
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:20,600
Speaker 1: to go build. He said, you have something in you.

1425
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,040
Speaker 18: You have a drive, you have a passion, you have

1426
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:28,679
Speaker 18: a relentless kind of spirit. And he says you shouldn't

1427
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 18: go to college. That was the most radical thing that

1428
01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 18: a suburban kid in Chicago could hear, because everyone would

1429
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 18: go to college. Of course, it's a mark of failure

1430
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 18: not to go to college, and so not getting into

1431
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 18: West Point was very demoralizing. However, it was the greatest

1432
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:46,479
Speaker 18: gift ever from the Lord because I took the gap year.

1433
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,559
Speaker 18: And to your credit, which is no one's ever put

1434
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 18: this together. All my friends were in college, so I

1435
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,759
Speaker 18: would start visiting my friends in colleges.

1436
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 1: So you think about it. Because I would go to

1437
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 1: high school, I will graduate high school.

1438
01:25:58,160 --> 01:25:59,679
Speaker 18: I was still friends with all my high school friends,

1439
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 18: so I'd go to university Biola, University of Illinois to

1440
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:05,640
Speaker 18: go visit them, Northwestern and I realized, as I was

1441
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 18: trying to get this political thing off the ground, this

1442
01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:08,719
Speaker 18: is where.

1443
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: It all stemmed from.

1444
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 18: And I was trying to put pieces together that the

1445
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 18: academy was where the fight needed to go towards. And simultaneously,

1446
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 18: as I was trying to find funding and trying to

1447
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 18: get donors behind our effort, something that almost every wealthy

1448
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 18: person that I would encounter is they had a soft

1449
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:31,919
Speaker 18: spot and a interest in trying to invest in college campuses,

1450
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 18: especially conservative leaning philanthropists and business types in America.

1451
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 1: I think about twenty twelve.

1452
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 34: That's turned around to bite them pretty damn hole.

1453
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they would get their attention right.

1454
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 18: So here, I would be at a cocktail party and

1455
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 18: I'd be eighteen, nineteen years old, trying to get funding,

1456
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 18: trying to get someone's attention. They said, okay, what do

1457
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 18: you do? I said, well, I'm trying to bring conservatism

1458
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:51,599
Speaker 18: to college campuses.

1459
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 1: Oh really? And they would be sincere. They would lean it.

1460
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 18: They say, what about my ala manor if you spoke there,

1461
01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:58,720
Speaker 18: and so I'd have a little connection. I'd say, well,

1462
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 18: maybe I could visit there if we have a little

1463
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 18: bit of money. And so it helped so I had

1464
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 18: interest from the donor community.

1465
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:05,680
Speaker 1: And you could see that there was an opening there

1466
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 1: that was I had no idea how big that opening was.

1467
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:11,679
Speaker 18: And the more that I learned, some of these donors,

1468
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:13,720
Speaker 18: as you would say, they'd give hundreds of millions of

1469
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:15,640
Speaker 18: dollars to these schools. Yeah, right, and so they had

1470
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 18: a lot of vested interests. They were very they were

1471
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 18: very curious about a young guy that wants to go

1472
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:24,560
Speaker 18: shake up these campuses, because remember that's when woke was

1473
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 18: really starting to come up. To listen to the full

1474
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,560
Speaker 18: conversation with doctor Jordan Peterson, you guys can go to

1475
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 18: his podcast, which is the Jordan Peterson Podcast, or if

1476
01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 18: you want to listen to my annotated version, subscribe to

1477
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 18: the Charlie Kirkshaw Podcast. We'll be right back with part

1478
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 18: of my conversation with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessont and some

1479
01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 18: of our great turning Point USA Leader.

1480
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 12: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm

1481
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 12: Terrence Bates. The White House is continuing to tout the

1482
01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 12: work the administration has done during the first one hundred

1483
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:02,640
Speaker 12: days of President trump administration. This morning, it was like

1484
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 12: White House Deputy Chief of staff Stephen Miller bringing common

1485
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 12: sense to the press briefing room. In fact, the title

1486
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 12: of today's briefing was Restoring common Sense. While Miller talked

1487
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:16,720
Speaker 12: about everything from deporting illegal immigrants to calling changing a

1488
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 12: child's gender child abuse. He also addressed the reasoning for

1489
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 12: the ongoing tariff war with China.

1490
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:28,759
Speaker 7: But the President's goals have been very clear on these points,

1491
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:32,799
Speaker 7: which is that he is not going to allow China

1492
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 7: to continue to steal our intellectual property, to continue to

1493
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,720
Speaker 7: illegally dump and subsidize their goods in our markets, to

1494
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 7: manipulate their currency, to rack up an unsustainable trade deficit.

1495
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 7: We need to have a trade relationship with China that

1496
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 7: does not do harm to our nation's economic and national security,

1497
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:53,639
Speaker 7: and that has to be the guy post of any objective.

1498
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 12: Meantime, the tide is rolling at the University of Alabama,

1499
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 12: and today it's bringing in President Trump. This evening's remarks

1500
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 12: in Tuscaloosa will be the president's first to college graduate

1501
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 12: since retaking the White House. During this graduation season, he'll

1502
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 12: also address graduating cadets at West Point. President Trump won

1503
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 12: the state of Alabama with a sixty four percent margin

1504
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 12: back in November en route to winning the presidency for

1505
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 12: a second time. While the White House is describing the

1506
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 12: president's speech as a commencement address, his remarks are actually

1507
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:30,600
Speaker 12: a special event that was created before graduation ceremonies begin tomorrow.

1508
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 12: Following the stop in Tuscaloosa, the President will head to

1509
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:38,640
Speaker 12: Florida for a long weekend at mar Lago. Senate Republicans

1510
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:42,040
Speaker 12: back President Trump and barely vote down a resolution that

1511
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 12: would have blocked the president's global tariffs. The forty nine

1512
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 12: to forty nine vote failed thanks to Vice President j.

1513
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:52,120
Speaker 12: D Vance's tie breaking vote and because two senators who

1514
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:54,679
Speaker 12: appeared to support the idea were absent for the vote.

1515
01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 12: By the way, three Republicans Ran Paul of Kentucky, Susan

1516
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 12: Collins of Maine, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska joined all

1517
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:06,680
Speaker 12: Democrats in supporting the measure. The resolution was designed to

1518
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 12: end the national emergency under which President Trump is implementing

1519
01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 12: his global teriffs. That's a great check if your headlines.

1520
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:28,600
Speaker 12: I'm Terrence Bads, author.

1521
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:31,799
Speaker 35: Of the Mega Doctrine and president of Turning Point USA.

1522
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 35: Ears Charlie Kirk. I want to tell you guys about TikTok.

1523
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 35: Remember President Trump is saving TikTok. It's amazing the more

1524
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 35: that you learn about it.

1525
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 18: We've been going viral on TikTok, but also talk about

1526
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 18: their economic impact across the United States. Over seven point

1527
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:49,799
Speaker 18: five million businesses, from family owned shops to entrepreneurs, are using.

1528
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:51,160
Speaker 1: TikTok to compete and grow.

1529
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 18: In fact, seventy four percent of small businesses on TikTok

1530
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,960
Speaker 18: say TikTok has allowed them to scale their operations, increasing

1531
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 18: sales and expanding to new locations.

1532
01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:01,679
Speaker 1: And that growth means jobs.

1533
01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:04,320
Speaker 18: And there are over seven point five million US businesses

1534
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:07,080
Speaker 18: on TikTok, employing more than twenty eight million people, and

1535
01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:10,599
Speaker 18: that number keeps growing. Small businesses thrive on TikTok. Learn

1536
01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:13,639
Speaker 18: more about TikTok's contribution to the US economy at TikTok

Speaker 18: of mine, Scott Besson and over one thousand Turning Point

1543
01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:42,160
Speaker 18: USA high school and college chapters across the country to

1544
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:47,000
Speaker 18: discuss financial literacy. We know with all the economic pressures

1545
01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:49,720
Speaker 18: that are facing the next generation, as you can see,

1546
01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 18: they're populating up on screen all of our amazing turning

1547
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:52,400
Speaker 18: Point leaders.

1548
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, great to see you. That's the future of

1549
01:31:54,040 --> 01:31:54,840
Speaker 1: America right there.

1550
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:57,599
Speaker 18: I'll tell you what, with all of the financial pressures

1551
01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:01,960
Speaker 18: facing the next generation, inflation, cost of housing, it's more

1552
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:05,240
Speaker 18: important than ever to teach financial literacy.

1553
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:08,200
Speaker 1: How to save money, how to invest? What does it

1554
01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:10,760
Speaker 1: mean to have compound interest? What is debt?

1555
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:13,680
Speaker 18: What is good debt versus bad debt? What is consumer debt?

1556
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:16,280
Speaker 18: What is credit card debt? What is a mortgage? Should

1557
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:18,040
Speaker 18: you take out to mortgage on your home? What is

1558
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:19,880
Speaker 18: a reverse mortgage? This stuff needs to be taught in

1559
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 18: our schools, and we are trying to lead the charge

1560
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:22,679
Speaker 18: here with our turning Point.

1561
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 1: You say, students, but any.

1562
01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:27,400
Speaker 18: Further Ado, Let me welcome the Secretary of Treasury of

1563
01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:29,760
Speaker 18: the United States, who's doing a phenomenal job in the

1564
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:33,240
Speaker 18: first one hundred days here, Scott Bessett, mister Secretary, Great

1565
01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:33,560
Speaker 18: to see you.

1566
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:34,599
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking the time.

1567
01:32:35,479 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 4: Hey, Charlie, great to see you, and this is part

1568
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:41,719
Speaker 4: of Financial Literacy Month, and I think that there's nothing

1569
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:42,479
Speaker 4: more important.

1570
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. I agree.

1571
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:47,120
Speaker 18: And what we have here is over a thousand of

1572
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:50,360
Speaker 18: our Turning Point USA chapters, high school and college chapters

1573
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:52,960
Speaker 18: that quite honestly, in the next half an hour to

1574
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:55,639
Speaker 18: forty five minutes, they're going to learn more about financial

1575
01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 18: literacy because it's not taught in our schools. It's not

1576
01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:00,400
Speaker 18: taught in high schools, not taught in college is And

1577
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:01,800
Speaker 18: let me just ask you before we go to our

1578
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 18: first question, which is Trey from University of South Carolina,

1579
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:08,160
Speaker 18: why is it do you think that financial literacy has

1580
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 18: not been in our curriculum? Mister secretary, can you comment

1581
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 18: on that because it's a major failing.

1582
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:17,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Charlie, I don't know, because somehow, somehow he got

1583
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 4: a bad name. Is like, you know, I'm older than

1584
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:24,000
Speaker 4: all of you, I'm sixty two. But when I was younger,

1585
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 4: it actually used to be taught. And everyone used to

1586
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:32,640
Speaker 4: think home economics was like how to cook, how to

1587
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:34,800
Speaker 4: keep a house, but it was also how to keep

1588
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:39,960
Speaker 4: a budget. And somehow, like home economics disappeared, shop disappeared,

1589
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:44,800
Speaker 4: and all these other kind of strange transgender studies. Things

1590
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:50,160
Speaker 4: showed up and somehow they were more important than teaching

1591
01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:51,800
Speaker 4: people how to be self sufficient.

1592
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:55,040
Speaker 1: You know, I was on the last curve. It's funny.

1593
01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 18: I went to MacArthur Middle School and we had homeck

1594
01:33:57,680 --> 01:33:59,360
Speaker 18: and they got rid of it a couple of years later,

1595
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:01,479
Speaker 18: and it was very helpful because it was all about

1596
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:04,799
Speaker 18: how to balance a checkbook, what is saving, what is investing,

1597
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,160
Speaker 18: as well as some of the more basic stuff, how

1598
01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:10,280
Speaker 18: to do laundry, how to iron your shirts, and quite honestly,

1599
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:12,280
Speaker 18: one that I appreciated young men.

1600
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 1: Here's how to tie a tie.

1601
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,920
Speaker 18: What a concept, right, It's amazing how many young men

1602
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:18,800
Speaker 18: don't know how to tie ties. Let's get to our

1603
01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 18: first question here. As I mentioned, we over a thousand

1604
01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 18: chapters here on the Zoom call. It's an honor to

1605
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 18: be speaking to you, mister secretary. The first question here

1606
01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:28,880
Speaker 18: is from Trey. He's a Turning Point USA chapter leader

1607
01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:32,479
Speaker 18: at the University of South Carolina in beautiful Columbia, South Carolina.

1608
01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:34,800
Speaker 18: I was just there for a great event that unfortunately

1609
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:36,800
Speaker 18: got rained out about an hour into it.

1610
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 1: Trey, great to see you, my friend. What is your question?

1611
01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:43,439
Speaker 1: For the Secretary. Well, I was good to see you, Charlie.

1612
01:34:43,439 --> 01:34:46,600
Speaker 20: We had a blast on April seventh, and Secretary of

1613
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:48,600
Speaker 20: VEST and it's a pleasure.

1614
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 1: To be speaking with you tonight. And I have a

1615
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:52,919
Speaker 1: question for you, mister secretary.

1616
01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:57,240
Speaker 20: So what practical change is the Trump administration making that

1617
01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 20: are going to be helping young people such as number one,

1618
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:03,720
Speaker 20: get married, to own a home, number three or four

1619
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:06,680
Speaker 20: kids because there are afod for kids. Because this is

1620
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:10,280
Speaker 20: really a big reason why President Trump won back in November.

1621
01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:13,200
Speaker 20: Young people were looking at being the first generation since

1622
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:17,880
Speaker 20: Washington where they weren't expected to be as well off

1623
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:19,160
Speaker 20: as their parents were.

1624
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 4: So good question, Trey. All three excellent points. And I

1625
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:27,799
Speaker 4: don't know if you know what. I am from South Carolina,

1626
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:38,400
Speaker 4: so go game Cocks. And at the Trump administration, we

1627
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:42,760
Speaker 4: are trying to address this incredible affordability crisis that was

1628
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:47,400
Speaker 4: created by the last administration. And it is a combination

1629
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 4: of the out of control prices, the out of control

1630
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 4: government debt. And it will come back to that on

1631
01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 4: why that's very important. If I was a young person,

1632
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 4: not fair for my generation to pass it down and

1633
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:10,479
Speaker 4: then bring down interest rates, bring down the energy costs,

1634
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 4: and also create economic security, because one of my big

1635
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:21,440
Speaker 4: sayings is that economic security is national security. National security

1636
01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 4: is economic security, and they're really tied together. So I'll

1637
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:30,479
Speaker 4: work backwards here and I'll say that I think one

1638
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 4: of the few good things to come from COVID was

1639
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:36,599
Speaker 4: it was a beta test that if we got into

1640
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:41,040
Speaker 4: a kinetic war, could the US be self sufficient? And

1641
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:44,799
Speaker 4: it turns out we're not. You know, we couldn't supply

1642
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 4: our own medicine. We don't have a lot of rare

1643
01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:53,040
Speaker 4: earth which go into the most of our machinery. The

1644
01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:58,360
Speaker 4: semiconductors are all made on the island of Taiwan steel,

1645
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 4: so we're trying to bring all those back home for

1646
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 4: economic security. One of the reasons I came out from

1647
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:10,360
Speaker 4: behind my desk and Charleston was I was so alarmed

1648
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:14,679
Speaker 4: by the way the Biden administration was just spin, spin, spin,

1649
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 4: and I thought it was deeply cynical what they were doing.

1650
01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 4: They were running up the debt and then they were

1651
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:22,679
Speaker 4: going to come and say we have to raise taxes

1652
01:37:23,200 --> 01:37:25,800
Speaker 4: and we were going to become like a European style

1653
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 4: social democracy. And in this slow growth, high tax environment,

1654
01:37:32,360 --> 01:37:35,040
Speaker 4: that's the worst thing that young people like you could

1655
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 4: start out in. And then the last thing is the

1656
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:45,080
Speaker 4: high government debt. The pushes up interest rates. So we

1657
01:37:45,200 --> 01:37:47,800
Speaker 4: have a plan to bring down the government debt and

1658
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:52,000
Speaker 4: also to make the US energy independent and keep energy

1659
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:53,040
Speaker 4: prices low.

1660
01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 1: Phenomenal answer, Thank you Trey for that.

1661
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:01,599
Speaker 18: And yes, mister Secretary, I did chee the South Carolina question. First,

1662
01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:03,040
Speaker 18: there's a little bit of a wink and a nod

1663
01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:05,560
Speaker 18: to the courtesy of you make at the time you

1664
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:08,559
Speaker 18: got to go back home and so, and I want

1665
01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:10,280
Speaker 18: to add on to that just a second as we

1666
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:14,400
Speaker 18: get Ryan queued up here from Wichita State University. Which

1667
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:17,519
Speaker 18: is when young people do not own stuff, when young

1668
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:19,840
Speaker 18: people do not have a stake in the American dream,

1669
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:24,560
Speaker 18: it can set the prequisite for radical socialist politics. Ownership

1670
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 18: of goods, ownership of property is a necessary ingredient for

1671
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 18: the flourishing of the American middle class. Ryan a great

1672
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:35,920
Speaker 18: chapter leader for us at Wichita State University. Ryan, great

1673
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:38,280
Speaker 18: to see you. What question do you have for the secretary?

1674
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 18: And you've got a great chapter there. I think you

1675
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:42,600
Speaker 18: got almost ten people there, and so say hello to

1676
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:44,120
Speaker 18: the secretary from Wichita, Kansas.

1677
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,720
Speaker 7: Well, thank you, Charlie and as secretary Best and our

1678
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:50,439
Speaker 7: question is what advice do you have to young people?

1679
01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:52,799
Speaker 4: Was saying on how they should approach a wealth building.

1680
01:38:55,000 --> 01:39:00,720
Speaker 4: That Ryan another good question, and I'm going to give

1681
01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:04,880
Speaker 4: you an answer that I think is not obvious. Everyone

1682
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 4: wants to be a great investor, and that's super helpful

1683
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:14,240
Speaker 4: in terms of how you manage your assets. But the

1684
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:18,439
Speaker 4: other way, and Charlie alluded to it earlier, is how

1685
01:39:18,479 --> 01:39:22,840
Speaker 4: do you manage your personal balance sheet? How do you

1686
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 4: manage your personal finances? And how aware are you of

1687
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:31,640
Speaker 4: your risk tolerance? And a good thing about being a

1688
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:35,599
Speaker 4: young person is you should have more risk tolerance. There

1689
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 4: used to be, and you know, I'm not a proponent

1690
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 4: of this, but there used to be a very easy

1691
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:46,320
Speaker 4: rule of thumb. You took one hundred, subtracted your age,

1692
01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:49,920
Speaker 4: and then that's the percent of your net worth that

1693
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:54,599
Speaker 4: should be allocated to equities. And then over time, as

1694
01:39:54,640 --> 01:39:57,839
Speaker 4: you got closer to retirement, you'd have more fixed income

1695
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:02,240
Speaker 4: fewer equities. But thing that I would really tell everyone

1696
01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 4: to think about is like personal tax planning. There's so

1697
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:10,680
Speaker 4: many things that you can do that in terms of

1698
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 4: do you want to live in a low tax state,

1699
01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:14,080
Speaker 4: do you want to live in a high tax state.

1700
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 4: The savings plans, when do you want to start? When

1701
01:40:19,120 --> 01:40:22,160
Speaker 4: are you able to start putting money away? Even if

1702
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:25,719
Speaker 4: it's one hundred dollars a month, makes a big difference,

1703
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 4: And I would echo what Charlie says is we want

1704
01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:34,760
Speaker 4: to have stakeholders in the system. You want everybody to

1705
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 4: be part of the system, and you also want people

1706
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:43,160
Speaker 4: to believe in the system. You want to be smart

1707
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:50,080
Speaker 4: about your insurance. Is it a good idea when you're

1708
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:55,440
Speaker 4: very young you can buy very cheap the life insurance.

1709
01:40:56,040 --> 01:41:01,280
Speaker 4: That's a great tax advantage savings product over your life.

1710
01:41:03,880 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 4: Where do you keep your money? You want your money

1711
01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:09,360
Speaker 4: to be in a safe and sound bank. But many

1712
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:12,400
Speaker 4: people get very lazy. And you know, if you have

1713
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 4: a money market account and a checking account, money market

1714
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:19,960
Speaker 4: account's probably going to pay a lot more. It can

1715
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:22,800
Speaker 4: be a little bit bit of a pain every week

1716
01:41:22,920 --> 01:41:25,840
Speaker 4: or every month, but keep the money in the high

1717
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:28,840
Speaker 4: earning account and then just move it over to checking

1718
01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:31,320
Speaker 4: the debit as.

1719
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:31,720
Speaker 2: You need it.

1720
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:35,960
Speaker 4: And the main thing too is just you know, when

1721
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,160
Speaker 4: you're young, they don't get over your head.

1722
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:38,559
Speaker 2: In debt.

1723
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:42,839
Speaker 4: College at Charleston where I live, has a great program

1724
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 4: for kids. I'm sure all of you have seen Freshman Year,

1725
01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:51,240
Speaker 4: American Express, all the other credit card companies are out

1726
01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:55,000
Speaker 4: on campus. Here, sign up. This is going to be great.

1727
01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:58,760
Speaker 4: And before you know it, you're into the semester, your

1728
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:02,559
Speaker 4: two semesters over your head and debt, you're having trouble

1729
01:42:02,600 --> 01:42:05,800
Speaker 4: making ends meet, Maybe have to drop out of school

1730
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:09,200
Speaker 4: for a while, get a job, your grades could go down. So,

1731
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:14,519
Speaker 4: as Charlie said, having smart debt, and normally credit card

1732
01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:16,000
Speaker 4: debt is not smart debt.

1733
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 18: Excellent answer. And that's really important guys to understand. Also,

1734
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:23,559
Speaker 18: and I'm sure we'll get to this at some point

1735
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:26,800
Speaker 18: in the conversation if we don't learn the tax laws. Now,

1736
01:42:27,320 --> 01:42:29,840
Speaker 18: mister Secretary is working on a phenomenal tax bill with

1737
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 18: the President that will hopefully go no tax on tips,

1738
01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 18: no tax and overtime and.

1739
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:34,000
Speaker 1: All that other stuff.

1740
01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 18: But understand that a mortgage actually has some tax benefits

1741
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:41,400
Speaker 18: to it to a home. Understand that credit card debt

1742
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 18: has no such advantages in the tax code system. In fact,

1743
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:48,640
Speaker 18: you want to try to borrow money on something that

1744
01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:51,559
Speaker 18: gets more valuable. By the way, that was the argument

1745
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:54,800
Speaker 18: for student loan debt in a year past, right years past, Well,

1746
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:56,680
Speaker 18: you're going to get more valuable over the next thirty years,

1747
01:42:56,680 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 18: so you might as well borrow money on yourself. Well

1748
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 18: understand that, you know, going and spending money on experiences,

1749
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,439
Speaker 18: going out to eat or going on vacations, those are

1750
01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:07,960
Speaker 18: very diminishing returns over a long period of time, and

1751
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:10,919
Speaker 18: so understand the different types of debt is critically important.

1752
01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:14,479
Speaker 18: I think we all know one per one person who

1753
01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:17,439
Speaker 18: when their head hits the pillow at night, they are out. Honestly,

1754
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:19,760
Speaker 18: I'm kind of jealous of that. Lately, it's hard to

1755
01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:21,680
Speaker 18: turn off. With all the stuff that we have going on.

1756
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 18: We got to raise money. At turning point, We're hiring

1757
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:26,639

Speaker 1: of it The Charlie Kirk Show.

1777
01:44:29,640 --> 01:44:30,639
Speaker 4: The three part question.

1778
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 36: The first part is can you explain why the dollar

1779
01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:38,080
Speaker 36: is the world reserve currency? The second part is how

1780
01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 36: does that help America? And then the third part is

1781
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:43,080
Speaker 36: are we at a risk of losing that?

1782
01:44:46,520 --> 01:44:52,040
Speaker 4: So the Nick Good questions, I'll work backwards. There is

1783
01:44:52,640 --> 01:44:55,400
Speaker 4: the we are not at we are not at risk

1784
01:44:55,479 --> 01:44:59,000
Speaker 4: of losing it now. I think if we continued with

1785
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:03,800
Speaker 4: the Biden minutes traation reckless policies, there was there's a

1786
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:10,800
Speaker 4: chance that we might. I don't believe we are what

1787
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:14,120
Speaker 4: President Trump has instructed me to do is to put

1788
01:45:14,200 --> 01:45:19,320
Speaker 4: in great economic policies that makes the United States the

1789
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:22,759
Speaker 4: best place to invest, the best place to compound your capital,

1790
01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:28,680
Speaker 4: best place for innovation, best place the upward social mobility,

1791
01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:32,240
Speaker 4: wealth accumulation to be able to keep more of what

1792
01:45:32,479 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 4: you make, and the but a very attractive destination for

1793
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:41,320
Speaker 4: foreigners to bring in their money because you know, we

1794
01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 4: take the stability that we have here for granted. We

1795
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:49,439
Speaker 4: take the fact that our markets they are free and fair.

1796
01:45:57,560 --> 01:45:59,760
Speaker 18: Okay, I'll be back with more of my conversation with

1797
01:45:59,800 --> 01:46:02,280
Speaker 18: TRY Secretary Scott Besson, But I want to tell you

1798
01:46:02,320 --> 01:46:05,719
Speaker 18: guys about Hillsdale College, history, economics, the great works of literature.

1799
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 1: Did you study these things in school?

1800
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:09,400
Speaker 18: Well, probably not, or even if you did, maybe it's

1801
01:46:09,439 --> 01:46:12,600
Speaker 18: time for an enjoyable refresher. You see, Hillsdale College is

1802
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,479
Speaker 18: America's greatest college, and they're offering more than forty free

1803
01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:20,200
Speaker 18: online courses, including their newest course on totalitarian novels. In

1804
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:22,719
Speaker 18: this eight lecture course, you' learn from Hillsdale College President

1805
01:46:22,960 --> 01:46:25,320
Speaker 18: doctor Larry arn As he goes in depth on four

1806
01:46:25,360 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 18: novels nineteen eighty four, Brave New World, Darkness at Noon

1807
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:29,920
Speaker 18: and that hideous strength. I am taking this online course

1808
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:33,519
Speaker 18: right now and it's marvelous. It's phenomenal. Even though these

1809
01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 18: novels are written in the thirties and forties, they're highly

1810
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 18: relevant today and they show what a tyrannical government does

1811
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:43,240
Speaker 18: to human nature, makes human being small irrelevant. Maybe you

1812
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:45,519
Speaker 18: read these books long ago in school, maybe you've heard

1813
01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:47,879
Speaker 18: others talk about them and they seem a little intimidating.

1814
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:50,240
Speaker 18: Let Hillsdale College help you make the most of them.

1815
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:52,960
Speaker 18: Go right now to Charlie for Hillsdale dot com to enroll.

1816
01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:55,639
Speaker 18: There's no cost and it's easy to get started. That's

1817
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 18: Charlie for Hillsdale dot Comia ar Lie for Hillsdale dot Com.

1818
01:46:59,360 --> 01:47:02,559
Speaker 1: Charlie for hills More of my discussion with Treasury Secretary

1819
01:47:02,560 --> 01:47:03,160
Speaker 1: Scott Busson.

1820
01:47:04,400 --> 01:47:09,040
Speaker 4: Around the world, it's not like that. Argentina that I

1821
01:47:09,240 --> 01:47:13,000
Speaker 4: just visited three weeks ago has a very dynamic president.

1822
01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:15,960
Speaker 4: You know, you may have seen him president the Malay

1823
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:20,800
Speaker 4: and he is having to save his country. But Argentina

1824
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 4: one hundred years ago was the ninth richest country in

1825
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:26,679
Speaker 4: the world. Now I think it's something like one hundred

1826
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 4: and twentyeth So everyone people like Argentinians want to put

1827
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:38,080
Speaker 4: their money here. And then why is it important to

1828
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:43,960
Speaker 4: be the reserve currency because it gives us low cost borrowing,

1829
01:47:44,800 --> 01:47:48,479
Speaker 4: gives us the authority over the rest of the world

1830
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:53,240
Speaker 4: in terms of issuing debt in terms of the world

1831
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:58,800
Speaker 4: is priced in dollars, so gives US companies and advantage,

1832
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:03,519
Speaker 4: gives the US government and advantage for borrowing, and the

1833
01:48:04,600 --> 01:48:12,200
Speaker 4: really helps us maintain our defense posture and our foreign presence.

1834
01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:17,040
Speaker 4: Everybody wants to be in the dollar commodities or priced

1835
01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:21,000
Speaker 4: in dollars. Oil is the most important commodity in the world.

1836
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 4: It's priced in dollars. So we got to work hard

1837
01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:29,880
Speaker 4: to maintain our reserve currency status. I'm sure that we

1838
01:48:30,040 --> 01:48:35,400
Speaker 4: are going to do it. And President Trump did an

1839
01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:40,320
Speaker 4: incredible job. In his first term. There was some bad

1840
01:48:40,400 --> 01:48:45,160
Speaker 4: behavior by the US government terms of fundamentals, and now

1841
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:47,000
Speaker 4: we're going to be back in a good track. And

1842
01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:51,000
Speaker 4: I can tell you everybody in the world wants to

1843
01:48:51,080 --> 01:48:51,680
Speaker 4: come here now.

1844
01:48:53,720 --> 01:48:56,280
Speaker 18: And I will add on top of that as well,

1845
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:59,640
Speaker 18: everybody in this audience, you guys have inherited, really what

1846
01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:02,080
Speaker 18: is a birthright, which is the US dollar as the

1847
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:03,439
Speaker 18: world reserve currency status.

1848
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:05,080
Speaker 1: We do not want to We do not want to

1849
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:06,240
Speaker 1: lose that. Look at that right here.

1850
01:49:06,760 --> 01:49:10,759
Speaker 18: Losing that would be detrimental and potentially catastrophic. And President

1851
01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:13,840
Speaker 18: Trump wants to try to decouple the bricks. Joe Biden

1852
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:15,920
Speaker 18: did nothing when it came to bricks. He couldn't care less.

1853
01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:18,519
Speaker 18: The fact that these countries were trying to assemble an

1854
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:20,639
Speaker 18: alternative to the dollar a big problem.

1855
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 1: Jack is the next.

1856
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:26,080
Speaker 18: Question from Towsing University in Towson, Maryland. Jack, what is

1857
01:49:26,120 --> 01:49:27,360
Speaker 18: your question for the Secretary?

1858
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:31,760
Speaker 37: Hello from Towsing University. Thank you mister Kirk. We hope

1859
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:33,600
Speaker 37: to have you sometimes done here in the future, and

1860
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:38,320
Speaker 37: thank you mister Secretary for taking our question. So our

1861
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:40,200
Speaker 37: question is there is a lot of concern that the

1862
01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 37: Trump tariffs may increase products prices sometime in relstil in

1863
01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:47,000
Speaker 37: your future. So when can we expect prices to decrease

1864
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:49,640
Speaker 37: and how will that benefit to college students in the

1865
01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:51,120
Speaker 37: long run who are already broke.

1866
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 4: Here, So the tariffs will we'll see where the negotiations

1867
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:05,599
Speaker 4: come out. Terrace are more like a one time price change,

1868
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 4: so we could see a price adjustment over the coming months.

1869
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:14,920
Speaker 4: But at the same time we're seeing a rents go down.

1870
01:50:15,640 --> 01:50:21,639
Speaker 4: We're seeing energy prices go down. My cousin from Daytona Beach, Florida,

1871
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:24,640
Speaker 4: if you could believe it, gas in Daytona Beach is

1872
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:27,519
Speaker 4: a dollar ninety two a gallon. So we've seen about

1873
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 4: a twenty percent decrease in energy prices. And the President

1874
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:39,040
Speaker 4: Trump is committed to lowering taxes. So the way to

1875
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:42,760
Speaker 4: think about it, the price on the shelf may go

1876
01:50:42,960 --> 01:50:46,479
Speaker 4: up slightly, but your take home pay will go up.

1877
01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:50,200
Speaker 4: The sort of what we would call the after tax

1878
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:55,960
Speaker 4: earnings for whether you're single or for a household will

1879
01:50:56,080 --> 01:50:59,880
Speaker 4: go up. And then the other big tax that is

1880
01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:03,800
Speaker 4: really an invisible tax, is regulation.

1881
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:06,120
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow, everybody.

1882
