Just this week, 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: the Senate Commerce Committee decided to advance President Trump's nomination 19 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: of Jared Isaacman as NASA's new administry Eisaman will now 20 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: face the Senate for a final confirmation of that position. 21 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: It's almost for sure. More on that coming up. 22 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: Also, just last night, President Trump signed an executive order 23 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: to cut federal funding for both NPR and PBS because 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: of their efforts to spread woke, anti American propaganda. And 25 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: I say, well, it's about damn time. We'll be discussing 26 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: that coming up, and then later Health and Human Services 27 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior working hard to make America 28 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: healthy again. He recently stated that he will ban eight 29 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: harreful food dies by the end of next year. All 30 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: those details straight ahead as well. But first I'd like 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: to start here today the jobs reports out. Last month's 32 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: job report was released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics 33 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: earlier today, and it seems that the economy is responding 34 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: quite well to President Trump's policies, despite predictions of doom 35 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: and gloom from the left and tariff latest slowdowns. The 36 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: Department of Labor reporting the employers added one hundred and 37 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: seventy seven thousand new jobs in April alone, a number 38 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: that freest surpassed for tom the so called experts had 39 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: predicted for the month. 40 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: Now in March, the month. 41 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: Before, one hundred and eighty five thousand. 42 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: New jobs were added. In total, the. 43 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: Unemployment has remained unchanged for a month ago, remaining at 44 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: four point two percent. Very close to historic lows. Look, 45 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: four point two percent is a good unemployment number, make 46 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: no mistake about it. Shortly after the report was released, 47 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: President Trump took the true social and stated, this gasoline 48 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: just broke a dollar ninety eight a gallon, lows and years, 49 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: groceries and eggs down, energy down, mortgage rates down, employment strong, 50 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: and much more good news as billions of dollars pouring 51 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: from tariffs, just like I said. And we're only in 52 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: a transition stage, just getting started. The point of it 53 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: all is that President Trump's policies appear to be working. 54 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 1: We're only in a transition stage, and we're seeing great 55 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: numbers like these. Here with me to discuss this in detail, 56 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: the director of the Center for the Federal Budget at 57 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation, Richard Stern. Richard, one thing I do. 58 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I need to correct one thing. Most of 59 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: what I heard there is accurate, But gas is not 60 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: a dollar ninety eight a gallon. I hate to tell 61 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: the President that the cheapest I find, Look, it's a 62 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: good price. It's two dollars and sixty six cents. That's 63 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: the state of Mississippi according to TRIPAA. But look, the 64 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: job's report is good. The unemployment number four point two percent. 65 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: We are always taught in school that four percent is 66 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: basically full employment. So a good number there. Inflation two 67 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: point four percent overall, Richard, how would you grade the 68 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: economy right now as we stand here today. 69 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 4: Oh? Absolutely, I think you get the nail on the head. 70 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 4: It's doing well. 71 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 5: It's showing signs of growth and by the way, as 72 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 5: good as those job numbers look, the other thing that's 73 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 5: in the report is that federal employment is down. Yes, 74 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 5: DOGE is doing its job and getting rid of those 75 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 5: federal bureaucrats that do nothing and steal your taxpayer dollars 76 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 5: to do it. And so private sector growth is even 77 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 5: more robust than the total job number gives you. 78 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 4: And I think you're right. 79 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 5: You saw a massive uptick in business investment in the 80 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 5: GDP numbers that came. Business optimism is getting better. People 81 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 5: are unshaky about the tariffs, but the underlying structured the 82 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 5: economy is doing very well. 83 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: So that's interesting. The job's number is up one hundred 84 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: and seventy seven thousand, but federal jobs have been being eliminated. 85 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 1: So if that hadn't happened, what we looked like today? 86 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 4: Oh so it would have been in the high one eighties. 87 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 5: And of course you got to keep in mind that 88 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 5: there's also state government jobs and so. And then the 89 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 5: other side of that is that, you know, we know, 90 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 5: the beautiful labor statistics has been raw for years in 91 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 5: a row now, and so we'll have to see what 92 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 5: the revisions are that come in. 93 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 4: I'm sure it'll be better than expected by the time 94 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 4: we get done with everything. 95 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 5: And you know, the other side of it also is 96 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 5: when you go into the hood and look at this, 97 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,799 Speaker 5: a lot of the jobs in the Biden years where 98 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 5: government subsidized jobs, and what you find in this one 99 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 5: is there's more jobs that are in things that people 100 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 5: actually use. There are more transportation and warehousing jobs, for example, 101 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 5: which is a good leading indicator that there's more business 102 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 5: activity going on. Matches the GDP numbers we saw as well. 103 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: Let me ask you about this here here's the truth 104 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: and reporting question for today. We're going to go back 105 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: about ten days, maybe fourteen days in time. And you 106 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: saw all of these big outlets, The New York Times, 107 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, NBCCBS, ABC, all of them. It's going 108 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: to be the worst April since nineteen thirty two. It's 109 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: doom and gloom the Trump, but it was all nonsense. 110 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the markets here today up over five 111 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: hundred points is the Dow, that's one point twenty five percent, 112 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: the NASDAK of a percent and a half over over 113 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: eighteen thousand, and the S and B also up. All 114 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: the doom and gloom about the about the markets is 115 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: not panning out either. It looks like the markets have 116 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: stabilized quite nicely and are starting to climb again. 117 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely so. 118 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 5: I think part of this again is the media outlets 119 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 5: are always shakier than the market is. Of course they 120 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 5: don't actually produce real products and employ people for the 121 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 5: most part. But you know, they were upset about the tariffs, 122 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 5: and to be fair, the teriffs could be scary, but 123 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 5: I think we now understand that the president's policy is 124 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 5: for them to be temporary, for them to be a 125 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 5: negotiation tool to get real wins out of other countries. 126 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 5: A lot of the media thought that China was going 127 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 5: to win the trade war. The Chinese are now begging 128 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 5: Trump to cut a deal with them, So, you know, 129 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 5: I think that's why the markets rebounded, is they understand 130 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 5: the strategy of the terriffs. They understand that Trump is 131 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 5: trying to get real wins for the country, and they 132 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 5: understand that. Frankly, the Chinese are panicking a lot more 133 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 5: than our businesses are panicking. All of that is caused 134 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 5: for renewed optimism. But you know that's what you're looking at. 135 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 5: And of course you know as well as I do, 136 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 5: the legacy media looks for every opportunity they can to 137 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 5: try to demonize Trump and scare people. 138 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 3: About Yeah, absolutely true. 139 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: Let's talk about China for just a moment here, because 140 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: it's an important point that you've made here. Look, China 141 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: claims that their economies growing five percent. 142 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 3: That's simply not true. 143 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: In fact, many would say they believe that China's economy 144 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: is a decline in a real recession already. And so 145 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: then Richard, the question comes, how long can China hold out? 146 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 3: So a little light broke. 147 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: Through today, potentially in conversations over Fatanyl and China saying, look, 148 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: we'll work on the Fatanyel problem. So that has come 149 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: to light. I'm sure you're aware of that. That could 150 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: provide the opening for China and the Chinese Communist Party 151 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: to begin negotiations without losing face, which is so important. 152 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: For folks in the CCP, they have to look like 153 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: they stood their ground. But if they start conversations about 154 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: FEDYL and it leads somewhere else, all the better. And 155 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: so here's my question. If that happens, if we get 156 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: to deal with China, we get to deal with the EU, 157 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: we put a deal together with Canada, Mexico and the 158 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: seven big major trading partners. You know, within a few weeks, 159 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: the American economy could really be going great guns, couldn't it. 160 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 4: Oh definitely. 161 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 5: And keep in mind that you're repairing all of that 162 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 5: across the board across the world with domestic attempts by 163 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 5: DOGE to cut regulations, that get rid of bureaucrats that 164 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 5: just spend their day trying to strangle American businesses. 165 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 4: You know, right now, for an average small manufacturer in 166 00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 4: the US, the. 167 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 5: Regulatory cost per worker is fifty thousand dollars per year. 168 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 5: So you know, as dose in the president go ahead 169 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 5: trying to get rid of regulations that will also jumpstart 170 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 5: the economy. And then you're absolutely right as we bring 171 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 5: China to the EU, these other countries at the table, 172 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 5: as they get rid of their trade barriers and actually 173 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 5: engage with us in a real fashion. It opens up 174 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 5: markets for American producers and make sure that we're playing 175 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,239 Speaker 5: on the level playing field. 176 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 4: You know. 177 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 5: One of the other problems, of course, is the Chinese 178 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 5: government is dumping these products like evs into our market 179 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 5: and the European markets with the expressed goal of destroying 180 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 5: critical industries that they deem to be a military advantage 181 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 5: to us. So, you know, getting them to end those 182 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 5: practices is good economics. It's also important for our national security. 183 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 3: They've always done that, Richard. 184 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: You know, I can look, I don't have to look 185 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,599 Speaker 1: any farther than antibiotics. The Chinese bought up all the 186 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: antibiotic factories around the world and in two thousand and 187 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: four dropped the price through the floor. The last American 188 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: antibiotic facility was in New York State. It went bankrupt 189 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: as a result, we don't. 190 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 3: Have one now. China plays dirty like this. 191 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: It's part and parcel to what they do, and it's 192 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: why it has to be stopped. It's one of the 193 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 1: reasons I applaud President Trump for saying, look, we need 194 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: to reset the way these things work. Do you think 195 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: it's working, Richard, Do you think that we're making progress 196 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: that just would China, but with other training partners I do. 197 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 5: It's hard to know exactly until we start getting deals 198 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 5: inked and side and everything. But at the same time, 199 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 5: I think what we're hearing is the light you were 200 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 5: talking about coming out of the negotiations with China. You're 201 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 5: seeing that across the board with a lot of countries. 202 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: You know. 203 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 4: One of things I think is an interesting side note on. 204 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 5: This is, obviously China has gotten around a lot of 205 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 5: these restrictions for years by sending products to Europe, to 206 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 5: South Korea, to Japan and there Vietnam, and. 207 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 4: Then sending them on to the US. 208 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 5: South Korea actually has started really coming down, bearing down 209 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 5: on these Chinese goods effectively being smuggled through South Korea, 210 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 5: starting to really follow the law on that. 211 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 4: That's the first time South Korea has ever done that. 212 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 5: You're seeing that out of a lot of eu CO 213 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 5: countries as well, and so that to me, right, is 214 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 5: this unprecedented step where these countries are finally playing ball 215 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 5: with US with how they're handling China. And that's an 216 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 5: unprecedented move towards these countries choosing the US. 217 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 4: Over China and over. 218 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 5: The ambivalence that they've had just sitting on the fence 219 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 5: in the middle. So I think the sky is the 220 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 5: limit for how good this could be. 221 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: Let me look at one more area, one more sector 222 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: of the economie region which I think is critical. Maybe 223 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: it is the most critical section, and that is energy, 224 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: of course, and this present came out with energy policies 225 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: from day one, declared an energy emergency and has continued 226 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: to follow that path. 227 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 3: As a result a lot of things that have happened today. 228 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: West Texas Intermedia crewed is at fifty eight dollars a barrel. 229 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: That means that energy is cheaper. Gasoline may fluctuate some, 230 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: but energy is cheaper. And so when you look at 231 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: the inflation being at two point four percent, I would anticipate, 232 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: not being an expert like you, but I would anticipate, 233 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: being an observer, that inflation would continue to come down 234 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: a click here and a click there, which would mean 235 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: that your own Powell and the Fed, they're going to 236 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: be for They're almost going to have no choice but 237 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: to bring interest rates down again. Another thing that can 238 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: stimulate the economy in this country, and I look forward 239 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: to it. 240 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: Will he do it? He? 241 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: Jerown Powell pretends to be non political. We know that's 242 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: not exactly true. 243 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 3: What do you anticipate? 244 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 5: So yeah, I think the important thing that recognized about 245 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 5: the FED, and you brought it up right there, is 246 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 5: that it pretends to be independent. 247 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,479 Speaker 4: We all know it's in deeply political. 248 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 5: Look, Biden passed bill after bill that ratcheted up government spending, 249 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 5: which if the FED had not printed cash, would have 250 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 5: looked bad on day one, and Congress may not have 251 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 5: voted for those bills. But Powell signaled to markets, signaled 252 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 5: to the President and the Congress that he would print 253 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 5: the money out of thin air at the FED, devaluing 254 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 5: all the dollars in your bank account and in your 255 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 5: paycheck to finance Biden's inflationary agenda. The moment that Trump 256 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 5: asked him to lower rates to smooth over his tarif negotions, 257 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 5: Powell told the President to go pound Sam. Now, I'm 258 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 5: not saying the FED should have done either of those, 259 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 5: but it should be consistent about that. 260 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 4: And the only thing that's consistent about Powell. 261 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 5: Is that he helps the liberals, and that's part of 262 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 5: the problem here about this. But I agree with you, 263 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 5: the more energy we have, the lower prices are for 264 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 5: all Americans. The faster economic growth will be for everybody. 265 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: Look, give you your crystal ball, Richard, this will be the 266 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: last thing. Just give me your forecast three six, nine 267 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: months out, not long term, but mid raye job by 268 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: late this year, early next year, where do you think 269 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: we're going to be. 270 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 5: I think we're probably gonna have unemployment come down a 271 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 5: little bit, not three months, but six to nine months. 272 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 5: I think it might come back down to about four points. 273 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 5: I think you're going to have job growth that's over 274 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 5: two hundred thousand a month probably, And I think you're 275 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 5: going to continue to see an uptick in business investment, 276 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 5: but I would say more six to nine months. But 277 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 5: what I'm anticipating is over the next couple months, we're 278 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 5: going to iron out the rest of these trade deals. 279 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 5: I think three months from now you're going to go 280 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 5: back to having no tariffs because we're going to have 281 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 5: these deals together. And that's the environment, along with the 282 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 5: spinning cuts, along with the deregulation. 283 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 4: I think six to nine months from now you're. 284 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 5: Going to be having all these really great economic stats, 285 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 5: stock market up, business optimism up. But I will warren 286 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 5: if the deals aren't done and the terrorifts are still 287 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 5: there more than three months from now, things start to 288 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 5: get uneasy again. 289 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,239 Speaker 4: But we'll see what happens. 290 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: Well exactly it's a crystal ball, and of course things 291 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: happen that we cannot predict, natural, disastrous things of that nature. 292 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: But I am optimistic. It sounds like you are as well, Richard. 293 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: Thank you for being here. Richard served for the Heritage Foundation. 294 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. 295 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 4: Always a pleasure. Thank you for having me on. 296 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 3: All right, up after the break. That is good news. 297 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: By the way, after the break, President Drums picked the 298 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: lead NASA in his second term, is now very close 299 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: to becoming the agency's fifteenth administrator after a Senate committee 300 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: advanced denomination of Jared Isaacman. We'll talk about that coming 301 00:13:49,400 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: up on America's Voice Live Friday edition. All right. On Wednesday, 302 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: the Senate Commerce Committee decided to advance President Trump's nomination 303 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: of Jared Isaacman to be a NASA's fifteenth administrator. 304 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: The vote was nineteen to nine. 305 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: During his confirmation hearing earlier this month, senators questioned Isaacmon 306 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: on his visions for NASA as they pertain to climate research, 307 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: planetary science funding, and the Artemis program, and his private 308 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: relationship with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk with the vote to 309 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: secure his position as NASA's administrator. On an imminent path 310 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: isisacman stands to replace former administrator Bill Nelson take the 311 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: range from the current acting administrator and considering the blunder 312 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: of leaving astronauts stranded in space for what was it, 313 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: nine months, I'd say maybe it's time for someone else 314 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: to step into that position. Here's me to discuss it 315 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: is the CEO of United Space Sports Spaceports, that IS Corporation, 316 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: Rob Lauer. 317 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 3: Rob, nice to see you here today. 318 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 6: Thanks for having me on. 319 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: Tell me what do you think about mister Isaac Minzi 320 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: the right person for the job at this time when 321 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: we're I don't know, reinitializing the American space program in earnest. 322 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 7: One thing we can say about the Trump administration and 323 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 7: Trump's approach to people and focusing on who to hire 324 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 7: putting together a team is he's been reaching out to 325 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 7: successful entrepreneurs like Jared. He's going after people who have 326 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 7: real world experience, who are entrepreneurs, who are wealthy, successful 327 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 7: people in their own industries who frankly don't need this position. 328 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 7: Jared doesn't need this position. He's doing it because he 329 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 7: wants to serve, and that's a lot. I think that's 330 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 7: a pattern we're seeing in this administration is people who 331 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 7: are coming to this industry from the industry, from the 332 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 7: private sector, who understand what it takes to build a business, 333 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 7: to build a company and deal with government. Frankly, that's 334 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 7: a big, huge problem that's always front and center for 335 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 7: any entrepreneurs dealing with government regulations and bureaucracy. Bureaucracy. Bureaucrats 336 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 7: have no sense urgency to get things done. They don't 337 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 7: care about budgets or being on time, they don't care. 338 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 7: Entrepreneurs absolutely must have a sensor urgency to get things done, 339 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 7: work on a budget. And we saw that frankly with 340 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 7: SpaceX and with Elon Musk, who put. 341 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 6: In his own money one hundred million dollars of. 342 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 7: His own money to create SpaceX, and if it failed, 343 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 7: he wouldn't no one would know who he is today. 344 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 6: Frankly, he would be a laughingstock. 345 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 7: But because he took the chance and have that sensor urgency, 346 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 7: and the first three rockets, as we all know, failed, 347 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 7: and that fourth rocket had that failed, SpaceX went being 348 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 7: around today. So what we're learning is and what we 349 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 7: what we've always known is in politics and government, people 350 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 7: are policy and you have to have to hit people 351 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 7: to them. 352 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you this because talking about SpaceX 353 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: and I just want to jump in there because it's 354 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: really important. Elon Musk, obviously on the forefront, wants to 355 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: plant the American flag on Mars. It seems to me, 356 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: as an observer here and not somebody involved with the 357 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: space program. I'm sitting here and observing the American space program. 358 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 3: It looked like it was da until Elon Musk came along. 359 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: It seems like he has revived the American space program 360 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: almost single handily. So his relationship with mister Eisenman I 361 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: think would be a benefit, not a detriment. But apparently 362 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: some senators didn't see that way. 363 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 3: But do you agree with me? 364 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: Did Elon Muskin space all agree the American space program 365 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: go further? 366 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 2: Let's go further. 367 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 7: What we've seen is in the last four years and 368 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 7: frankly before that is the politicization of the of the 369 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 7: NASA Climate change Those are not the mission. 370 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 6: That's not the mission of NASA. 371 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 7: NASA's mission is to put people and satellite technology in space, 372 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 7: on the Moon, on Mars and further expand human liberty 373 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 7: and human exploration around the Solar System and climate change, 374 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 7: and all his DEI stuff is a distraction. It should 375 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 7: not be the mission. It's not the mission. So what 376 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 7: we have over people who are focused on the mission. 377 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 7: Like I said, Jared doesn't need this. He's rich, he's successful, 378 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 7: he's been an astronaut, he's a fighter pilot. He's done 379 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 7: all these things, by the way, with his own money, 380 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 7: not with government money. So he's done these things and 381 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 7: understands what it takes, and he's excited to further the 382 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 7: human experience in space. 383 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 6: He's not just a bureaucrat who for him. 384 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 7: For most people, this position in NASA would be a 385 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 7: step up for him, and a lot of the people 386 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 7: who Trump are bringing in these are steps down. These 387 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 7: are people who are coming to the government and foregoing 388 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 7: a lot of money and a lot of prestige that 389 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 7: they normally have and instead they're sacrificing to serve our country. 390 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely sacrifice. And that's true of a lot of 391 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: folks that are in the administration right now. You look 392 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: at a whole host of folks that are there, and 393 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: as you put it, wealthy successful people that have proven 394 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: themselves in the private sector now lending that that expertise 395 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: and that ability to move America forward, I mean, and 396 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: that should be applauded, shouldn't it. 397 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 7: Well, I can just tell you as a self employed 398 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 7: entrepreneur all my life, my number one obstacle is government. 399 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 7: Number one obstacle castle harassment, money issue is always government. 400 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 7: And I'll give an example. We followed an application with 401 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 7: the FA. This is about a year and a half 402 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 7: ago before Trump came in, and it was a two 403 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 7: page double space application for a project. And the FA 404 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 7: it self center should take three hours to review and approve. 405 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 7: It took the FA seven months to approve a two 406 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 7: page application. So the problem you have is government and bureaucracy, 407 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 7: and bureaucrats have no sense of urgency to get things done. 408 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 7: Entrepreneurs like Shared and Elon Musk myself, they have a 409 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 7: sense of urgency to get things done. 410 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 6: We want to get this done in our lifetime. We 411 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 6: don't want to put off. 412 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 7: This is what we do for Jared a gig to 413 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 7: further his own career that it's got a step up. 414 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 6: This is these people are there to get things done. 415 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, last quick question, Rob and speaking of our lifetimes, 416 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: you and I are not twenty one. 417 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 3: Years of age. I can I can go ahead and 418 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 3: make that wager. 419 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: Will we see the American flag on Mars in our lifetime? 420 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: Is it possible? Is it likely? 421 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 7: Only if the government gets out of our way and 422 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 7: lets people like Elon Musk do what they do best. 423 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate that from United Space Sports Corporation, Rob Lower, 424 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: good conversation, Rob. 425 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 3: I hope we do plant the American flag on Mars. 426 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: I think that would be an inspiration to people, not 427 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: just in America but around the world. 428 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 3: Thank you for being here. 429 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 6: Thank you so much. 430 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: All right, coming up after the break. Just last night, 431 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: President Trump signed in an executive order to cut federal 432 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: funding for both NPR and PBS for their part in 433 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: spreading woke anti American propaganda. More details coming up straight ahead, 434 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: all right. On Thursday, late yesterday, President Trump signed an 435 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: executive order to cut taxpayer funds to both PBS and 436 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: NPR for what for spreading radical, woke, anti American propaganda. 437 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 3: He says. 438 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: The order instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and other 439 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: federal agencies to cease federal funding for both companies. Further 440 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: requires that they work to root out indirect sources of 441 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: public financing for the news organizations. The two broadcasting companies 442 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: get roughly half a billion dollars in tax payer money 443 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: through the Corporation Probate Broadcasting in order to spread their 444 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: woke ideology and agenda. But things are changing with President 445 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: Trump in office. No surprise here with me to discuss 446 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: this is Real America's voice, Chief White House courseponder, Brian Glenn, 447 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: who's happy to take any handouts he might get today. 448 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 3: After all, it's Friday, hello, Brian. 449 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 2: Maybe it's free beer Friday. 450 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 8: And maybe the government or MPR PBS can push that 451 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 8: out too. 452 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: A couple of things about this, No surprise. Lawsuits are flying, 453 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: accusations are flying, and they're mad as hell. But the 454 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: fact the matter, as we talked about in the break 455 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: just before we came on, this only CONTs for like 456 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: ten percent of their funding. 457 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 3: They have ninety percent of their budget. 458 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: Do you think that all the television and radio stations 459 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: that took it on the chin during COVID and some 460 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: lost seventy five percent of their sales? 461 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 3: You know there it is. 462 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: Those people survived, But these guys are going to sit 463 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: there on their ivory tower and wag their finger because 464 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: they're not getting more taxpayer and support. I bet all 465 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: those companies would like some money, wouldn't they, Brian, they. 466 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 2: Would, Steve, they would. 467 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 8: You know, as a matter of fact, they get about 468 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 8: fifteen to sixteen percent of their total budget comes from 469 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 8: the federal government, about I one hundred and thirty five 470 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 8: million dollars a. 471 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: Year from that. And to think that they're claiming. 472 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 8: That this violating type of you know, First Amendment, right, Well, 473 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 8: I don't remember the font the founding fathers, you know, 474 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 8: saying that public taxpayer money must go to broadcast companies. 475 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 8: Because if that's the fact, why don't Next Star, send 476 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 8: Claire Great Television and others just go ahead and line up, 477 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 8: go to Washington, d C. And try to get all 478 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 8: this federal money that supposedly is your constitutional right. Look 479 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 8: at the end of the day, Steve, if you want 480 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 8: to turn on PBS. 481 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 2: You want to turn on NPR in the car, which 482 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 2: is great, you can do that. You're still going to 483 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 2: get your programming. 484 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 8: It's just not going to come from federal taxpayer dollars. 485 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: That's it. 486 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 8: We're not telling Big Bird to go find a different nest. 487 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 8: We're not putting the cookie monster back in the jar. 488 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 8: We're not putting you know, Oscar the Grouch back in 489 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 8: the trash can. 490 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 2: Those guys still exist. 491 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 8: But that's what the left wants you to think that 492 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 8: for some reason, we're wiping it away. We're just not 493 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 8: using taxpayer dollars. And this is hugely popling with the people. Steve, 494 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 8: you know this. 495 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: It is people wanted to defund these two outlets for years, 496 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,959 Speaker 1: and something's been discussed for my entire professional career has 497 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: been floating around. Anyway, because I just had to go 498 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: back to an old email, I went back to an 499 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: old email. I found town Square Media owns two hundred 500 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: and twenty two hundred and thirty radio stations in this country. 501 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 3: Their revenue in twenty one to twenty two was down. 502 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: Eighty percent because of COVID regulations and shutdowns in lockdown 503 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: eighty percent. You know how much NPR and PBS were 504 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: down zero because they take money from the government and 505 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: they have these other nonprofits funding them every step of 506 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: the way, so they could continue to proliferate this left 507 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: wing agenda. While companies are out there competing in the 508 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: free market. They skated right through it, and so I 509 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: think that's what they're afraid of, Bran, They're afraid of 510 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: having to compete on an even playing field. 511 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 2: You're absolutely correct. 512 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 8: And that subcommittee on Doge where margin Taylor Green chaired. 513 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 8: That committee brought the CEOs back in front of that panel, 514 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 8: and they really exposed the bias of the media coverage. 515 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 8: They can't sit there for two minutes and try to 516 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 8: convince the American people that their unbiased news organization when you. 517 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: And I both know that's not the facts. 518 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 8: Matter of fact, I have a very good friend that 519 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 8: worked in a major market for PBS. It's a big city, stuff, 520 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 8: years of experience in television. The day after that Doge 521 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 8: subcommittee hearing about the funding, she was fired. She was 522 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 8: released from her job, and I was told that on 523 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,479 Speaker 8: a daily basis, President Trump was a punching bag. Margite 524 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 8: Taylor Green was a public enemy number one. They simply 525 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 8: do not like conservatives, They do not like President, they 526 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 8: don't like you, they don't like me. But guess what, 527 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 8: here's a news flash, Rand we don't care. Steve Gruber 528 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 8: doesn't care, and Brian Glenn certainly cares. And guess what, 529 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 8: American people said, you can hate us, but not on 530 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 8: our dime. 531 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: But I don't understand, Brian. 532 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 3: How can anybody not like you? And I I don't. 533 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: I don't get that.

As bricks Nations push forward with 548 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: their plan, global demand for the US dollar could certainly decrease, 549 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: bring down the value of the dollars in your accounts, 550 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: in your savings account specifically, While this transition won't happen overnight. 551 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: The real reset in July marks a pivotal moment when 552 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: bricks objectives move decisively from the theoretical toward reality.

Who wants to eat oil? 574 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 3: The dyes in this. 575 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: List include red forty along with citrus number three to 576 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: name some. This effort by RFK juniors to fulfill the 577 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: promise of the Make America Healthy Again movement where is 578 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: Kennedy is seeking to drive down the prevalence of chronic disease. Additionally, 579 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: preliminary dot show that, besides being unhealthy, the consumption of 580 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: these dies could be linked to hyperactivity and children, driving 581 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: up the prevalence of ADHD for example. Therefore, prescription medications 582 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: like adderall gets sold faster. You see how this vicious 583 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: cycle works. Here and now to discussed this is tp 584 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: USA contributor one of my favorites, Anthony Watson Anthony, Happy 585 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: Friday to you. Look, I don't get it, so I 586 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: don't need seaweed, but apparently people in my family do. 587 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: I find it odd. I'm just going to tell you that. 588 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: But here's a seaweed packet. It's supposed to be the 589 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: healthiest thing you could possibly eat. This is a couple 590 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. My wife flips it over. It's green, 591 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: it's got green dye in it. I guess your seaweed 592 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: isn't attractive enough all by itself, you gotta put green. 593 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 2: Dye on it. 594 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: And when you start consuming this stuff, I mean, I 595 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: don't know what they're putting on our bodies. I'm totally 596 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: with Bobby Kennedy on this. 597 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 9: What say you, I'm totally with Bobby Kennedy on this 598 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 9: as well. For the longest time, everyone on the conservative 599 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 9: side has been saying that there's a health crisis that's 600 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 9: now pushing the promotion of big pharma. Because every single 601 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 9: time you see a health crisis, every single time you 602 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 9: see any kind of new disease, every single time you 603 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 9: see something chronic, guess who's right there, the government with 604 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 9: all of their big pharmaceutical companies and check that now 605 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 9: have Americle miraculous and ready to go drug to now 606 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 9: combat these things that now get people hooked and weaken 607 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 9: their immune systems. And so what we're starting to see 608 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 9: now is that now we're finally starting to take our 609 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 9: health back and actually do it to produce longevity in 610 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 9: the citizens of America. Because if that doesn't get anyone's attention, 611 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 9: you look at every other country around the world. 612 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 2: You look at Europe, you look at. 613 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 9: Asia, you look at even countries beneath us and South 614 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 9: America that look at a lot of the snacks and 615 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 9: the things that we produce and put on our shelves 616 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 9: for regular to everyday consumption, they don't sell them there 617 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 9: because of the health risks that they cause. And so 618 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 9: now by taking control of this, it's now a way 619 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 9: for us to step in the right directions to actually 620 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 9: give people the health that they need to actually continue 621 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 9: living in the lives that they want for themselves. 622 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: In fact, if they do sell things. Froot loops is 623 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: one of the easy things to point out. Foot loops 624 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: in the EU and elsewhere are not the same fruit 625 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: loops should get in America because they don't have those colors. 626 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: They have organic based colors from vegetables and fruits and 627 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: so forth. We have petroleum apparently, which seems very odd 628 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: to me. You whoever thought, hey, let's eat the oil. 629 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: The point that I'm getting at is highly processed foods. 630 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it contributes to ADHD, maybe it contributes to other illnesses. 631 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 3: We need to clean up our act more. 632 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: More farm to table experience would be a lot healthier, 633 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't this. 634 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 9: Absolutely and that's why you're starting to see families across 635 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 9: the country now go to. 636 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 2: Raw milks and raw eggs. 637 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 9: They're starting to now purchase those things where now farmers 638 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 9: make it available for you to purchase cattle that you 639 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 9: can now have butchered and last you an entire year 640 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 9: for your family and everybody else that can invest in 641 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 9: those kinds of things. It's a harder thing to do 642 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 9: because things that are now produced at such a mass 643 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 9: quantity so poorly. It's the kind of the thing do 644 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 9: you want quality over quantity? And the quantity that we've 645 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 9: pumped out for the past couple of decades has been 646 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 9: easy to make, but at what expense at people's health 647 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 9: and at people's livelihoods. 648 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 2: And so now you're. 649 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 9: Starting to see a shift of people that actually want 650 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 9: to start taking control of their health to actually give 651 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 9: them the chance of the life that they actually desperately. 652 00:31:59,280 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 2: Want to live for. 653 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Look, I'm a chicken rancher for 654 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: that very reason. We go on collect eggs every day. 655 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: People are doing what they can. You know, a lot 656 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: of these cities now allow you to have three or 657 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: four or five hands laying hands. Look, anything you can 658 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: do to make your health better. I think people should do. 659 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: You've got to go away from all this box nonsense. 660 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: But something else really need to do, Anthony. We need 661 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: to make sure that some of these places, like big 662 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: urban areas, big cities, they need access to fresh food 663 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: and fresh foods and vegetables as well, because they don't 664 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: have it as much. They've got all this stuff. It's 665 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: pre packaged box nonsense. We need to do a better job. 666 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: We've got the farmers and the farmers to do it. 667 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 3: I think we can do better in that arena. What 668 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 3: do you think. 669 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 2: I definitely think that we can do better. 670 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 9: And I will say, for as messed up as we've been, 671 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 9: we're on the right track to getting better because nobody 672 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 9: really knows what's better for them until they try it. 673 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 9: And now a lot of these big corporations are now 674 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 9: working extra hard to keep all of the good stuff 675 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 9: out because now all of the processed stuff has been. 676 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: Their money maker for all these years. 677 00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 9: Where they didn't even have to look at the machine 678 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 9: means they didn't have to look at the stores to 679 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 9: see how stock they were because everything was just coming 680 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 9: in so regularly. But with the demand of everybody wanting 681 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 9: better things for themselves. I think it's time that people 682 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 9: and government and conglomerates and corporations actually listen to the 683 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,479 Speaker 9: people that are making these requests, because everything that has 684 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 9: made and always promoted to be like, oh, we're doing 685 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 9: this for you, we're doing it for convenience, We're doing 686 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 9: it just to make it easier for you. But anything 687 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 9: that's worth having in life is always going to come 688 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 9: with a little bit of a struggle intentionally to see 689 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 9: how much it's worth it to you. And a lot 690 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 9: of people now have to ask themselves the question how 691 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 9: much does their health mean to them? 692 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 2: How much does their livelihood mean to them? How much 693 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 2: does their familyhood mean to them? 694 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 9: Because all of those things that they now consume and 695 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 9: put in their body are now either adding to the 696 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 9: longevity or taking away from it. 697 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: That's right, Anthony, you asked me about how things are 698 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: on the d Let me tell you this. 699 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 3: In Detroit, Michigan, there are plenty of areas. 700 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: Now where they've turned it into local co ops and 701 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: farms and turned well we're you know, empty lots into 702 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: places to grow food. I mean efforts runderway. We're getting there, 703 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: but there's more work to be done. Anthony, thank you 704 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: for being here as always. 705 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 2: Deve, thank you so much for having me. 706 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 3: I have a good weekend, you too, my friend. 707 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 1: All right, after the break, I'll be discussing Mike Walton 708 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: his new nomination by President Trump to be the ambassador 709 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: to the United Nations. 710 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 3: Is it a promotion? 711 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: I think so. Some don't see it that way. We'll 712 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: discuss it after the break, all right. Well, on Thursday, 713 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: President Trump nominated Mike Waltz to be his administration's ambassador 714 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: to the United Nations. It came just hours after Waltz 715 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: stepped down from his role as the National Security Advisor. 716 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: Democrats currently trying to create a false narrative that his 717 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 1: removal as NSA was. 718 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 3: Quote due to the Signal Gate League. However, JD. 719 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: Vans recently denied those allegations and called Waltz's un ambassador 720 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: nomination a promotion. Vice President also said that Waltz has 721 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,240 Speaker 1: the trust of both himself and President Trump. 722 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 3: See for yourself. 723 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 2: So it was a let go. 724 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,399 Speaker 10: He is being made ambassadors to the United Nations, which 725 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 10: of course is a seneconfirm position. I think you can 726 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 10: make a good argument that it's promotion, But we brought 727 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,959 Speaker 10: Mike on to do some serious reforms of the National 728 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 10: Security Council. He has done that. 729 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 2: I like Mike. I think he's a great guy. He's 730 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 2: got the trust of both me and the President. 731 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 10: But we also thought that he'd make a better UN 732 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 10: ambassador as we get beyond this stage of the reforms 733 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 10: that we've made to the National Security Council. 734 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 3: Marco Ruby I. 735 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, I was acting as the interim leader of the 736 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: National Security Council, as the National Security Advisor. Here'll be discussed. 737 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: This is the President of the Republican Caucus, Jim Fafft. Jim, 738 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: nice to see you here today. Look, I think it's 739 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: a promotion, but I had a debate here on this 740 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:49,320 Speaker 1: network earlier today from folks that don't think Mike Waltz 741 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: going over to the United Nations is a step up. 742 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: Here's why I think it is. And you tell me 743 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: your thoughts. We've got a lot going on with the 744 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: tariffs and negotiating with the world. You've got the war Ukraine, 745 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: You've got what's going on with Hamas and the Huthis, 746 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: And if you're the ambassador Denied Nations, you're going to 747 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: be in the thick of. 748 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 3: All of that right from day one. I think it's 749 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 3: a big job. 750 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 11: What do you think, Well, I think he does have 751 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 11: the President's trust, but I do suspect I had something 752 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 11: to do with the signal thing. I don't know that 753 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 11: for a fact, but you know, that was an incident 754 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 11: that could have ended up being very embarrassing. Certainly they 755 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 11: had to work through, and you just have to, you know, 756 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 11: be cautious about situations like that. And but to be candid, 757 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 11: it is a step up truly because the UN thing 758 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 11: is going to be very very important, uh, with the 759 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 11: for the reasons you said, but also because we have 760 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 11: to assert ourselves in that body constantly. And Donald Trump 761 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 11: has a policy of working closely with Israel. The UN 762 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 11: is constantly going after Israel in ways that are absurd often, 763 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 11: and Mike Waltz is, you know, in a active guy 764 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 11: both in communications and really taking a tough stand when 765 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 11: necessary on those key issues. 766 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 2: So I think it's kind of a mix here. 767 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 11: And and they're going to be some good options for 768 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 11: filling that position. Obviously Marco Rubio's handling it right now, 769 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 11: but there's gonna there are gonna be some really good 770 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 11: options for helping that key service to the president be 771 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 11: able to undertake and. 772 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 1: Well, Marco Rubio's number two was suggestive of the job, 773 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,439 Speaker 1: and Marco Rubio said, uh, I like him too much. 774 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: He's got job locked because a lot of these people 775 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: are not going to be able to be moved around 776 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: because people like him. Look, and while we're on this topic, Jim, 777 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: how good is Marco Rubio doing it? I've been talking 778 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 1: about this for the last couple of weeks. Now, I mean, 779 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,919 Speaker 1: he is rock solid. He's solidly got the President's back. 780 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: He's on He's on message every time he's in there 781 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: in the Oval office. 782 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,720 Speaker 3: He is a master when. 783 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: It comes to these sideways questions when he goes on 784 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: ancient media because they throw curve balls at him all 785 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: the time. And he is a master at defending the administrations. 786 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: It's policies, it's agenda and President Trump. 787 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 3: What do you think of the job Marco Rubio is doing. 788 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 11: Listen, he is a great communicator. My one beef with 789 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 11: Marco Rubio over time, like he came in as a 790 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 11: tea party darling. 791 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 2: In twenty ten and very positively so. 792 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 11: But he has been supporting the Patriot Act, which I 793 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 11: have serious reservations about been voting to vote. I was 794 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 11: very worried about what that might mean. I am very 795 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 11: pleasantly surprised. So far, I think he's done a fantastic job, 796 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 11: and especially when the USAID thing came up, he has 797 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 11: been masterful in dealing with that and helping the president 798 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 11: navigate getting rid of what that institution has been doing. 799 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think he's fabulous so far. 800 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 11: At least, I don't have any reason to be negative 801 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 11: at all, and very many reasons to think that he's 802 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 11: serving the president an excellent way that's going to benefit 803 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,280 Speaker 11: Trump's agenda. 804 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 3: I would agree with that. 805 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,959 Speaker 1: He has been solid and I mean, you know, here's 806 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: the difference, Jim, between Trump's first administration and his second. 807 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: I don't see a bunch of people clamoring around the 808 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: appear to be wanting to write books and stab the 809 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: president in the back. You had a lot of that 810 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 1: in the first go round. I see people that are 811 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: loyal on message, discipline, and doing the work. 812 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,760 Speaker 3: Do you agree, Oh. 813 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:40,240 Speaker 11: This is one of the best, you know, best people 814 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 11: in his cabinet and in other areas of the government 815 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 11: that I've seen in my lifetime. And I mean I 816 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 11: was around for the Reagan administration, and the Reagan administration 817 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 11: had a great, a great cabinet, but you had people 818 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 11: who were kind of, I don't know, quirky moderates that 819 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 11: were problems, but they did follow what Reagan wanted to do. 820 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 11: Trump has put together very excellent conservative members of this 821 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,760 Speaker 11: cabinet who also are willing to work for him, and 822 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 11: that's just a step up even from Reagan's excellent cabinet. 823 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 3: I mean to have to grade it that way. 824 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 11: So, yeah, this is really helpful for us because in 825 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,320 Speaker 11: the previous administration, even the people that were true MAGA 826 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 11: people that went in there were suspect in terms of 827 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 11: what they were leaking out to the media or how 828 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 11: they were undermining the agenda as there was obvious infighting 829 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 11: taking place, and so you had the John Kelly types 830 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 11: that were very problematic. You know, this is really pleasing 831 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 11: to see and I have it makes me hopeful for 832 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 11: what we've got going in the next four years. 833 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:48,399 Speaker 3: I would agree with you, Jim. 834 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 1: Thank you for being here, as always, have a terrific Friday. 835 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 3: We'll talk again soon. 836 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 2: Thanks, Steve, good to see you all right. 837 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 1: Think about it, every dollar you spent is either supporting 838 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: your values or working against them in today is economy. 839 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 1: Where you spend your money matters.

I answered my position, what's yours? 868 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 3: We'll be right there. 869 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: Where is Mike Walt's nomination to be the Ambassador of 870 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: the United Nations? 871 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 3: A promotion or demotion? Why Roger Pierce has this? Why not? 872 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 1: It's a suitable position? And the other guy was ghosted? 873 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,800 Speaker 1: Other guy, I'm sure what he means by that, Ken Hartman, 874 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: he could have just gotten rid of him. 875 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:56,240 Speaker 3: So not a demotion. 876 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: But I think I have a pretty good idea of 877 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: what Trump. 878 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 3: Is doing really well. Why don't you share it with us? Ken, 879 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,280 Speaker 3: That's what we're here to do, to discuss your thoughts. Anyhow. 880 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 3: Craig Cassetta lateral move. 881 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: It takes him out of the limelight for their text issues, 882 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 1: but puts him into a very influential position for the 883 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: administration allows Rubio best outspoken advocate to date, to put 884 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: the bees to bed. Yeah, Rubio is doing a great job. 885 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: Martha Thomas. If it gets him out of this country, 886 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 1: it's a promotion. 887 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 3: I'm not sure what that means. 888 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: Richard Ayala, a lot of strange comments on those triting folks. 889 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 3: That's all right, after a demotion. 890 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 1: It's a demotion after the signals, whether intentional or accidental. 891 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: He can save face by Trump moving him into a different, 892 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: less critical role. 893 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 3: Eventually he will leave the administration altogether. Don't know if 894 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 3: that's true. Tom Kowol, I support everything President Trump does. 895 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: Well. That's odd, uh, Susan Wendy Hartman, wife Schneider promotion. 896 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: President Trump puts people in positions that he knows that 897 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,520 Speaker 1: they will do well in. He saw this man struggling, 898 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,800 Speaker 1: therefore he made a positive changed. 899 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 3: I think that's a pretty good take on it. Mike 900 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 3: main Lachlan. 901 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: Neither merely a strategic lateral move, a good allocation of resources. 902 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,319 Speaker 3: See, I think is a promotion. And Tina weren't. 903 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: Zidizo neither placing him where he can be useful yet 904 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: out of the media screty. 905 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 3: Look, I can't pronounce that name. I'm doing the best again. 906 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,479 Speaker 1: Catherine Blackhawk demotion because now Trump doubts him, he can't 907 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 1: be trusted. I don't believe that at all. It's not 908 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 1: an emotion, Catherine. If he didn't trust him, he wouldn't 909 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,879 Speaker 1: be there. That's fact. That is a fact. 910 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 3: Donald Trump would say, you're fired. 911 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: What a busy week once again, Donald Trump and Michigan. 912 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,320 Speaker 1: That was a great rally on Tuesday. We loved it 913 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 1: to mark the one hundredth day. It was good stuff. Anyhow, 914 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: hope you have a fabulous weekend. 915 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 3: I do start your Monday morning with me bright and 916 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:53,880 Speaker 3: early 917 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 1: On the Steve Rivers Show to begin broadcasting on Monday, 918 00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 1: and then back for America's Voice Live
