1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: I want Hulko, I want the mayor of Chicago, the governor,

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: all these sanctuaries cities are speaking out against President Trump

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: and myself running this deportation operation. I want you to

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: watch that video and know how this young lady suffered.

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: What a or heroman death you had. I want you

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: to listen to Lake and Rimi tate for seventeen minutes,

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: how she fought for her life.

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: Now that is Tom Homan. Thank god. The incoming borders

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: are and it's kind of endemic of this week. Merry Christmas,

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: Happy Hanuka. I certainly hope it has been for you.

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: Man.

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: You take a look at the news cycle and what

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: do you get? Something like the New York subway murder,

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: the burning of a woman on a subways Go wow,

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: things are really broken. Well, so much as is messed up.

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: The good news is that sanity is twenty five days away.

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: So hey there, This is Brian Mudd in for Clay

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: and Buckett. Is an honor and a pleasure to be

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: here with you. I am the host of the Brian

20
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: Mudd Show, hubbed out of my home station w J

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: and O in West Palm Beach, and the guys enjoying

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: the holidays, like hopefully you and your family is doing.

23
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: And it has been kind of that weird little vacuum

24
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: because on one hand, you probably feel really good about

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: where things are going, you know, a lot of the

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: unless you're stuck in kind of like the family situation

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: to where you've got the people that don't want to

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: talk to you and we're trying to avoid you of

29
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 2: the holidays because of politics. If you have a family,

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: it's pretty much on the same page with you. Probably

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: felt pretty good talk about the future, probably about now,

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: because a lot of times as we make the transition

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: from Christmas over towards the new year, you kind of

34
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: come out of it a little bit about now and

35
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: you start thinking about what's ahead, and you can feel

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: so much better than you have generally about the direction

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: of things. But then every single day you get those

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: reminders like that horrific situation in New York City, everything

39
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 2: that is just so incredibly avoidable. One of the things

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: I was thinking about, you know, the words of C. S.

41
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: Lewis.

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: You know he said there are far far better things

43
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: ahead than any we leave behind.

44
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 3: Holy crap? Is that true? Right? I mean, far far better.

45
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: Things ahead with the Trump administration than the dumpster fire

46
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: that we are set to leave behind.

47
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: But we still got to get there. We still got

48
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: to get there.

49
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: Right. So, as you take a look at what's going

50
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: on right now, the news cycle that continues to be brutal,

51
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: when you think about the current state of our country,

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: the soon to be transitioned from this dumpster fire to

53
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: Trump two point zero, there is a lot that is

54
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: really important that is happening right now.

55
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 3: A lot.

56
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: You know that Trump has been working pretty much NonStop.

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: I mean even yesterday Christmas Day, Trump working all throughout

58
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: the day, and yes, truthing along the way too, and

59
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: you know, having some spicy comments along with his holiday

60
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: wishes that ended up getting under the skin of the left.

61
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: Oh true, by the way, But.

62
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do take a look at the news cycle,

63
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: and you got that New York City subway situation that

64
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: is just kind of the epitome of everything that is wrong.

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: You know, illegal immigrants that are coddled, provided with taxpayer

66
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: goodies and able to commit horrific acts like the burning

67
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: alive of a woman on a New York subway. You

68
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: get into taking a look at the dynamics involved there

69
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: with what's broken as a society where you have people

70
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: that are just kind of standing around going, oh my gosh,

71
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: she's burning. I mean, seriously, what is wrong with you

72
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: as a person on this planet to see a woman

73
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: burning alive and not doing anything about it. That also

74
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: speaks to so much of what's wrong in the human condition,

75
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: things that have been on the wrong track for an

76
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: awfully long time, and a lot of what needs to

77
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: be fixed, not just in this country, but also I

78
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: mean even morally for that matter, with us along with

79
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: you know, some semblance of common sense as well. And

80
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: now you take a look at some of the other

81
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: news that's come up. Of course, President Biden commuting thirty

82
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: seven of the pending forty federal death sentences, which, by

83
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: the way, just as an aside, you know, and I'll

84
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: drill down on this for a second, because it really,

85
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: in a nutshell sums up the Biden administration, the lack

86
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 2: of intellectual consistency and all the failures that come along

87
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: with that lack of consistency. You know, if you take

88
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: Biden's statement when he issued that executive order, he said,

89
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 2: I've dedicated my career to reducing violent crime and ensuring

90
00:04:52,400 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: a fair and effective justice system. Wow, dedicated, dedicate caated

91
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: his career to do with that. Huh boy, that pretty

92
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: much says it all, doesn't it. H I have dedicated

93
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: my career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair

94
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: and effective justice system. How's that violent crime thing worked out?

95
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: We're doing well there?

96
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: Oh that's right.

97
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: We've seen violent crime rise by four point nine percent

98
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: according to the National Crime Victimization Survey since he became president.

99
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: Remember the FBI, and they're fake news because you had

100
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: the FBI numbers that were coming out and they're saying, look,

101
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: violent crime is down under Biden. Except no, Actually, you

102
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: had the largest blue cities with the most crime that

103
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: just weren't reporting to the FBI. So yeah, when you

104
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: actually account for what's going on in cities like New York, Chicago,

105
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: San Francisco, suddenly you see, oh yeah, it's up a

106
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: lot since Biden became president. How about that effective justice system? Man,

107
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: who doesn't feel really good about the system of justice

108
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: these days in this country, always out there doing the

109
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: right thing by you, especially this Department of Justice, right

110
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: that Meyror Garland man, you don't feel confident and comfortable

111
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: with him at the helm?

112
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: See, yeah, The.

113
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: Bottom line is that you have hundreds of thousands of

114
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: victims of violent crimes, robberies, rapes, murders. They're only victims

115
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: of these violent crimes because Joe Biden's been president of

116
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: the United States, let alone the fair and effective justice

117
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: system that does what continues to enable illegal immigrants to

118
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 2: commit horrific crimes day in and day out across this country.

119
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: You know, pretty much the only people at this point

120
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 2: that I think are sick enough in the country to

121
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: defend the policies that allow for crimes like that to

122
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: happen pretty much the sick of fans that root on

123
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: the murderer of United Healthcare CEO. I mean, that's something

124
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: else you talked about, the broken human condition, some of

125
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: what's been going on in the news cycle that he's

126
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: got this cult like following just and there's some things wrong.

127
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: But then you take a look at it in perspective,

128
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: and only thirty nine percent of Americans approve of Biden's

129
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: hand handling of crime and his issuance of justice, meaning

130
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: that even nine percent of the people that voted for

131
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris get it. Even nine percent of them at

132
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: this point go yeah, no, this crime situation ridiculous. The

133
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: way that justice is being handled this country ridiculous. So

134
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: that is something that's realization, even by nine percent of

135
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: Hairs voters and the majority, solid majority of the American

136
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: people that get it. But back to that Biden commutation

137
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: statement for a moment, because I do think it's illustrative

138
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: of the bigger picture. You know, he continued his statement

139
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: when he issued that by saying, make no mistake, I

140
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 2: condemned these murderers. Grieve for the victims of their despicable acts.

141
00:07:59,720 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: Right.

142
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: I think Biden's graving for the victims of those thirty

143
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: seven people an ache he aches for all of the families.

144
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: Have no doubt he's aching. I don't think it has

145
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: to do with that, but ach for all of the

146
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: families who have suffered unimaginable and irrepuable laws. But guided

147
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: by my conscience and my experience as a public defender,

148
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, vice President, now President,

149
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: I'm more convinced than ever that we must stop the

150
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: use of the death penalty at the federal level and

151
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new

152
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: administration resume executions that I halted Okay, so there's actually

153
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: a case to be made there. You know, for example,

154
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: the Catholic Church poses the death penalty, argues that being

155
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 2: pro life extends beyond pregnancy all throughout whatever stage of life,

156
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 2: meaning that even for the evilists among us, the idea

157
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: being that God will render judgment the time comes. But yeah,

158
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: the Catholic Church were for life, even for the people

159
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: who are really horrible people. Put them away, but don't

160
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: kill them. Well, you can personally choose to agree or

161
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: disagree with that stance, but it's a principled one, right,

162
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: If that is your stance, it's a principled one. It's

163
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 2: one that you could say is rooted in faith. And

164
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: you know, that could make President Biden's decision potentially defensible,

165
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: as he calls himself a practicing Catholic. But just as

166
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: Biden has never seen an abortion on demand policy that

167
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: he seemingly hasn't been willing to get behind, or at

168
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: least not get in the way of, there's absolutely no

169
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: intellectual consistency with the commutations either. Yeah, if a faith

170
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: based pro life stance is the argument, you got no

171
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: justifiable delineation between thirty seven of the evilist people in

172
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: society having their death sentences wiped away, and.

173
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 3: The three who didn't. So why those three seven?

174
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: And then the three well, those those three, I mean

175
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: that was they were really really bad. Oh okay, got

176
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: it right. It's just intellectually it's morally inconsistent, which is

177
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: just the whole problem in a nutshell with Joe Biden,

178
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: with his administration and with the left at large. Now

179
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: you insert major policy failure the Biden administration here, you

180
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: see similar things, you know, rhetoric that is completely inconsistent

181
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: with outcomes. The American Rescue Plan, right, the American Rescue

182
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: Plan didn't exactly rescue this country when he sided into

183
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: laud did it. He had the Inflation Reduction Act. Boy,

184
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: that didn't exactly reduce inflation, did it. He had the

185
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: Civil Immigration Enforcement Order. Now, probably not familiar with that

186
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: by name, but that was kind of like the the

187
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: catch all name of his day one executive order ending

188
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: all Trump era border policies, including the Remain in Mexico policy, construction,

189
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: the border wall, ice enforcement policies, among some of the

190
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: other stuff. Didn't exactly enforce civil immigration did it? Didn't

191
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: exactly uphold the rule of law in this country? That

192
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: Biden said he has dedicated his life to now To

193
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: a certain extent, it's pretty true for every failed politician ever.

194
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 2: I mean, after all, you you never have had someone

195
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: run for office just kind of like an explicitly campaigning

196
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: on a promise of screwing you.

197
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: Okay, you know you vote for me. I'm really going to.

198
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: Jack things up in this country now, I'm gonna do

199
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: you I get into office. Yeah, man, gonna stink this

200
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 2: thing up. You have never seen anything like what I'm

201
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: getting ready to do with my policy. Although I mean

202
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: you could kind of make the case that some members

203
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: of the squad have kind of gone there, like if

204
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: you just take them and face value and pretty close

205
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: to say, any I'm only looking to get a like

206
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 2: so I can just kind of blow this country up.

207
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 2: So also, well, Biden is demonstrably one of the worst

208
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 2: presidents of our country's history. He's, of course, far from

209
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: the first to be a huge failure. But the bottom

210
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: line is that if the premise of anything is false,

211
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: anything you got built on that false premise, that's going

212
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: to fail too. So Biden claims to have his faith

213
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: as a guiding tool as a moral compass, but then

214
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 2: his decisions are consistently inconsistent with it. He's claimed he

215
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: would improve the quality of life for Americans and then

216
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: created the worst inflation forty years, the highest levels of

217
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 2: crime and record. So, yeah, Thankfully, in twenty five days,

218
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: what feels like the longest four years of our lives

219
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 2: will mercifully come to an end.

220
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 3: What won't.

221
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: You're bloated, unaccountable and frankly un American federal bureaucracy that

222
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:03,359
Speaker 2: is left behind the premise of that bloated bes bureaucracy

223
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: that needs to go too, That needs to go too.

224
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: And so we're going to talk about what.

225
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: Is going to be happening, what needs to happen, and

226
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: what the view of the possible here is over the

227
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: next twenty five days.

228
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: I'm Brian mudd in for Clay and Buck. We'll be

229
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: right back.

230
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 4: Clay Travison, Buck Sexton. Mic drops that never sounded so good?

231
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 4: Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you

232
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: get your podcasts.

233
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: The run backed Hooth.

234
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 5: The Rebels fired another ballistic missile toward Israel, the fourth

235
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 5: one in a week. Israeli officials say the missile was

236
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 5: shot down, but fragments of it landed in populated areas.

237
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 5: With the regional war ongoing, this year's Christmas festivities have

238
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 5: been subdued. Traditional parades and ceremonies were held in Bethlehem,

239
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,359
Speaker 5: including a midnight Mass at the Church of the Nativity,

240
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 5: though far fewer people were in attendance than normal.

241
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: Fox is Trey yinks there and you know again you

242
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 2: take a look at the news cycle, brutal constander reminders

243
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: about the failures of the Biden administration. Everything around the

244
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: world less safe, everybody around the world less safe. Why

245
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 2: because Joe Biden president of the United States. Twenty five

246
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: days from now, we have sanity and frankly, the only

247
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: thing that might be holding the world together to the

248
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: extent that it currently is being held together with some

249
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: duct tape. Here and there is the knowledge that Donald

250
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: Trump is incoming and what he did when he was

251
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: incoming the last time. You know, so many people kind

252
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: of forget how incredibly successful geopolitically Donald Trump immediately was

253
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: Remember isis Isis was the example in twenty seventeen. So

254
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: Trump on the campaign trail, he said, I'm going to

255
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: bomb the blank out of Isis. You know, they had

256
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: established their califate problems everywhere, committing terror tacks in the

257
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: United States, around the world. And what happened he became

258
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: president in the matter of months, he bombed the blank

259
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: out of Isis and they went away. And so the

260
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: knowledge that he is coming in and with even more

261
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: resolve is huge, huge at this point.

262
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: So there's no doubt about that.

263
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, as we take a look at what's going

264
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: on right now, you take a look at our bloated

265
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: federal government, you take a look at the Biden administration

266
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: and the kind of false premise of all of this.

267
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 3: Right now, when was the.

268
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: Last time that you took a look at the federal government? Thought, man,

269
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: you know that uncle Sam, just what a great guy.

270
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: If only we had more things in life that simply

271
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: ran as well as the federal government. Probably never happened,

272
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: right guessing it's never happened, and if it has happened

273
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: for you while life, must be.

274
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: Interested in your world.

275
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: But the bottom line here is the status quo is

276
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: our enemy at this point. You know, the federal government

277
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: as it's currently constructed, it does not serve your interest,

278
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: doesn't serve the American people any better than Joe Biden's

279
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: policies it's only gotten worse a time. You know you

280
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: could at least once spon time take a look at

281
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: the FBI and say, well, at.

282
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: Least that one works.

283
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: No, not anymore, So we have a lot to accomplish.

284
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: The good news is Musk and Ramswami are on watch too,

285
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: so we're gonna start getting into what Doge needs to do. Also,

286
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: look to take some of your calls as well. Brian

287
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: Mudd in for Clay and Buck Lay, Travis and Buck

288
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: Sexton on the front lines of truth.

289
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 6: The House begins with four hundred and thirty four members,

290
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 6: so Johnson must get two hundred and eighteen votes. Republicans

291
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 6: only have two hundred nineteen members. It's important to note

292
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 6: that the person with the most votes does not win

293
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 6: the speakership. The winner must secure an outright majority of

294
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 6: all members voting for someone by name.

295
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: Again, right, we've heard this story before. We've heard it

296
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: even recently. Fox's Chad Pergram breaking down the looming speaker

297
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: battle yet again. And as you have some House Republicans

298
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: that are threatening his speakership, that could throw all kinds

299
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: of chaos into the mix. As we're talking about being

300
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: twenty five days away from sanity boy. One thing that

301
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 2: Republicans cannot do is self destruct Yet again, Hey, if

302
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: you take a look at what slowed Trump down in

303
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: the first go round, was it really the Democrats as

304
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: much as it happened to be Republicans, and so Republicans

305
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: being their own enemy, being Trump's enemy completely unacceptable here.

306
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: If we're going to do what needs to be done,

307
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: if we're going to have a transformation to bring the

308
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: government back in line with the science that it should be,

309
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: you can't get involved in this kind of nonsense. You

310
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: got to get on the same page. You have to

311
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 2: have some leadership that is ready to roll with Trump's

312
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 2: agenda on day one. You can't have all this nonsense.

313
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: Prialymu in for Clay and Buck. I hope you have

314
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 2: had a merry Christmas, happy Hanukah, wonderful holiday season. As

315
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 2: we're talking about, you know so much of what's crazy

316
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: in the news. On the one hand, you know, hopefully

317
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: you feel good for instant family. Then you take a

318
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: look at the news cycle and it's like, oh, yeah,

319
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: we're not there yet. Things are are really a mess.

320
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: We've got a dumpster fire in our hands here. Let's

321
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 2: just hope we're not in World War three by January twentieth,

322
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: and kind of walking through what is really important right now,

323
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: because these days, each one of these twenty five days

324
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 2: is critically important to what's going to be in the

325
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: Trump administration and the future of the country if we're

326
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: going to get the big changes that you voted for done.

327
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: This is so so super important.

328
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 2: Now you take a look at what's happened with the

329
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: creeping effects of government to get here in the first place.

330
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: You know, we've had since the introduction of progressivism and

331
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 2: our government, nothing but the erosion of your freedom.

332
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 3: And it started before Woodrow Wilson.

333
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: But you know that's what really put it on, put

334
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 2: it on the front burner, the Wilson administration of one

335
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 2: hundred years ago. You just had the slow and steady

336
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: eroding of your rights, of your freedoms, the establishment of

337
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: countless government agencies founded on the false premise, the false

338
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: supremacy being, Hey, this government agency, it's gonna be great

339
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 2: for you, and it's gonna be so good for you

340
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: to use your tax dollars funding this government agency. And

341
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: then what does it do screws you? Screws you in

342
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: the long run. I mean, it's good for you know,

343
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: the swamp, good for the people that work in it.

344
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: That's about it, you know. So we have been subjected

345
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 2: to the boiling fraud effect pretty much ever since. More agencies,

346
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: more bureaucracy, less freedom, and most conservatives been frustrated for years,

347
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: some for decades about how Republican control of government, seemingly

348
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: at best, has only done what at best, it just

349
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 2: seems to slow down the creeping crud, the erosion of

350
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: your freedoms, the erosion of what makes this country great.

351
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 3: And the reason it's simple now.

352
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 2: Federal government agencies they are no different than weeds, really,

353
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: no different than weeds almost literally.

354
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 3: Not quite, but almost.

355
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 2: You know, if all you do is like pull off

356
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 2: the stuff you see and you leave the roots, they

357
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: grow it back, right. And if you allow the weeds

358
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: just kind of do their thing, you don't even worry

359
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 2: about trying to pull the stuff that you see.

360
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 3: Man, you know, they take over, right.

361
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 2: And so the most exciting thing I have seen in

362
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: my lifetime in terms of government is an idea that

363
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 2: we can get entrepreneurial about government again. And to do so,

364
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: you have to think about it differently. That's what being

365
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 2: an entrepreneur really is. So the first thing is that

366
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: the idea that we have to continue government as it's

367
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 2: currently constructed is a false premise. And so the reason

368
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: that I'm the most optimist about the incoming Trump administration

369
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: as I have ever been for any incoming administration, including this first,

370
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 2: is due to the rejection of the status quo here,

371
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: the establishment of DOGE. It is time to get back

372
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: to this country and what it was founded on. And

373
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: the reason why the United States went from being a

374
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 2: rank tag group of colonies to the world's leading superpower

375
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: under one hundred and fifty years was what because we

376
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 2: end up putting in a bunch of government agencies hack

377
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 2: now right, It's because our country was founded on God

378
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: given rights. That's freedom as opposed to government given rights.

379
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: I mean that is there are a lot of differences

380
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 2: between the United States and just about every country in

381
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: the world, but the single greatest point of difference it

382
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 2: is rather than having a government that we'll say to

383
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 2: its citizens, all right, these are the rights you get

384
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 2: in our case, we have all right, we have God

385
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: given rights. Government doesn't tell us what our rights are.

386
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: And basically, from the premise of the any of this country,

387
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 2: we're just not to do something that would screw with

388
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: somebody else's rights. That's really what it gets down to.

389
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: You have absolute freedom in this country as long as

390
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: you don't do something that takes away somebody else's.

391
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 3: Freedom with your actions. That's the point.

392
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: That's why we became great and the reason why we

393
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 2: struggled these days, because there's not a whole heck of

394
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: a lot of that.

395
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: Is there.

396
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: Find administration not not exactly serving your interests. How much

397
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 2: money does it take and so how much freedom does

398
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: that take away from you? So this is a little

399
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 2: trivia time here for you. How many government agencies? How

400
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: many government agencies did we have at the time of

401
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: our countries founding?

402
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: Do do?

403
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: Do?

404
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: Do?

405
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 6: Do?

406
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 4: Do?

407
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 2: Do you know you have a number? How many government

408
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 2: agencies at the time the country is founded? We only

409
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: had five, only five federal government agencies?

410
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 3: How many do you think we have now? Founded?

411
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 2: With five, we most recently have four hundred and thirty

412
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: four hundred and thirty. More government equals less freedom pretty

413
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 2: much every time. You know, some agencies directly erode our rights.

414
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: All agencies to a certain degree can erode personal financial

415
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 2: freedom because you have to pay for them. You have

416
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 2: less money in your pocket than it does what it

417
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 2: takes away your ability to engage and have that kind

418
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: of freedom, and even for people are like, yeah, well

419
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: I'm not really paying any federal taxes.

420
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: You might be, but you know I got the freed

421
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: right over here.

422
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: Well, it ends up coming back and hitting you in

423
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 2: the form of inflation, among other things.

424
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 3: So anyway, one of the best.

425
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: Examples our country went its first one hundred and thirty

426
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: seven years without a permanent income tax. President Trump's talked

427
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: about this. He's like, yeah, we're going to do the

428
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: no tax on tips, We're going to do the no

429
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 2: tax on Social Security, the no tax in overtime. We're

430
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: going to work that into my plan. But no, we

431
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: really should be rethinking about income tax all toge why

432
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 2: do we have a permanent income tax? Is exactly right.

433
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 2: Our country one hundred and thirty seven years, the first

434
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty seven years no permanent income tax.

435
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 2: So as you think about getting entrepreneurial, well, why are

436
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: we just going to accept what we've been handed this

437
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: is the way things have to be done.

438
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 3: How much are you forced to pay today?

439
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, the fact is we obviously don't

440
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: need four hundred and thirty federal government agencies. How many

441
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: of those four hundred and thirty agencies you really think

442
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: are operating every day? You got people going to work

443
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: at these agencies every day. Think you know what I'm doing.

444
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: I'm being paid by the American tax payers. I am

445
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 2: in an agency that's supposed to make their life better.

446
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to go about my job today with with

447
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,959
Speaker 2: that level of seriousness. How often you think that actually happens?

448
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: Do you think you could do better things with your

449
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: money then, I don't know, say hundreds of government agencies

450
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: that you couldn't name if your life depended on it,

451
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: or I don't know, do you think all those government

452
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: agencies are doing better things with your money than you could?

453
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 3: You know?

454
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: One of my favorite examples, you know, talking about just

455
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: how nonsensical the current setup of the federal government is.

456
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 2: As Doge is taking a look at what to do here,

457
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 2: I would I use this as an illustration, kind of

458
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: as a joke, but I actually would like to see

459
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 2: it happen. I would really like to see the real

460
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: world application of this example. Let's lock all five hundred

461
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 2: and thirty five members of Congress in a room no

462
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: internet for a day. Okay, so you got all members

463
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 2: of Congress in a room, no internet for a day.

464
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: You give them all a pen, piece of paper, and

465
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: you have them name as many government agencies as they

466
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: possibly can. You just I mean, if your government agent.

467
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: See if your government agency is named by even one

468
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: member of Congress, just one, we keep it for now.

469
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: But if your government agency can't be named by even

470
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: a single member of Congress, you know, the people that

471
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: actually fund these federal government agencies, that point's got to go.

472
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: That point, your federal agency, it's gonza because again, nobody

473
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: could even tell us who you were, what it was

474
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 2: that you were doing. So why are we funding that?

475
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 3: Right? And that's you know, all part of the baseline

476
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: budgeting thing. Nobody actually reads it.

477
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 2: We just continue with the crs and everything else, and

478
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 2: so it's funded at our literal expense. So the bottom

479
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: line is we don't need all those agencies. It's choice.

480
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: The fact is we don't need to be forced to

481
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: pay a third or more of what we make an

482
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: income tax.

483
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: That is a choice.

484
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: And we do need an entrepreneurial mindset when it comes

485
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 2: to government, meaning we shouldn't just accept the false premise

486
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: that the way our blooded federal government operates is acceptable

487
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: just because that's the way things have been done for decades.

488
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: Now.

489
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 2: We became the greatest country in the world in the

490
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 2: history of the war because we didn't have government in

491
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: our way, and now we have more of it in

492
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: our way than ever. Progressivism, the federal bureaucracy, it all

493
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: holds us back at our literal expense.

494
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 3: And it does not have to be this way. You

495
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 3: didn't vote to keep it this way.

496
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: We don't need career government experts to manage the blooded bureaucracies,

497
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: maybe just a little bit better than before. You know,

498
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: you take a look at take a look at a

499
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 2: little bit of the pooh over there, and you go, man,

500
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 2: if I only massage that pooh a little bit, it's

501
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 2: going to be better.

502
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 3: It's kind of stink glass, it's kind of stink class.

503
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: That's pretty much.

504
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 2: No.

505
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 3: We need wholesale changes.

506
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: We need change agents who reject the premise that we

507
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: need many of these government agencies in the first place.

508
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: And so yes, when you have musk, when you have

509
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 2: Ramaswami that are leading this because again, you don't create

510
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: and do the things that they've done by thinking the

511
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 2: way that everybody else has, by doing things the way

512
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 2: that everybody else had before. So you leave it to

513
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: one of our country's greatest entrepreneurs, Donald Trump, to align

514
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: with perhaps the greatest entrepreneur of our time, maybe ever,

515
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 2: but at least our time, to rethink and reshape the

516
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: way the government is done.

517
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: The status quo.

518
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: The Enemy with Doze represents the greatest government change that

519
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: we've had since the New Deal. But what's also critically

520
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 2: important is that Republicans get on the same page because

521
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: it's not perfect. Mike Johnson far from perfect. The Continuing

522
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: Resolution not good, But then again, Republicans have an arrow

523
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 2: majority in the House right now in real time, do

524
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: not have the Senate or the Presidency. So I mean

525
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: there's never going to be anything that's great, and that

526
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: kind of setup twenty five days needs to be the focus.

527
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: Being on the same page. That needs to be the focus.

528
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: There's so much it could be accomplished, but it has

529
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 2: to be as intentional as Donald Trump has been every

530
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: single day right down to Christmas Day when he's working

531
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: to put this government into place and to really make

532
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: America great again. I am Brian Mudd, and you can

533

00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,320

539
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 2: to do there, it's going to be part of this trip,

00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

552
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: Let us get back in the process.

553
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: Stop stop the don't start the entire session with chaos again.

554
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: Let us start it with orderly rule and let us rule.

555
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 3: We have two years really to put in President Trunk's agenda.

556
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: Let us do this and not fight amongst ourselves. Yeah.

557
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: Amen, that is North Carolina Rep. Greg Murphy Mornings with

558
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: Maria and run on point. Cannot play this game, cannot

559
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: be a self destructing situation. You know, you're familiar with

560
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: the expression perfect is the enemy of good. I'm not

561
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: even going to say that the cr was good. I'm

562
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: not going to say that all of Mike Johnson's decisions

563
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: have been good. I'm not going to you know, make

564
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: excuses for anything. But you know what's not good right now?

565
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: You have Republicans with a narrow majority in the House,

566
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: Democrats have the Senate. Joe Biden still is President of

567
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: the United States.

568
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 3: That's not good, right.

569
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: So you're not going to get something good right now.

570
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: And so trying to be perfect within your mindset, being

571
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: all truistic theoretically is not altruism at all. It is

572
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: the absolute wrong thing. And Republicans need to get their

573
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: butts in gear. The people that are wanting to be

574
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 2: problems and rather than you know, naming names and just

575
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: going after you know, the few people that we know

576
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: that are trying to torpedo Johnson and or just be

577
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: a problem generally. At this point for the Republican conference

578
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: in coming, they need to get out of the way.

579
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 2: We voted for Donald Trump to do what Donald Trump

580
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: needs to do. We need leadership in place so Donald

581
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: Trump can do what he needs to do.

582
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: Period.

583
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 2: Now you take a look at this bloated government, and

584
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: this is again where I get excited because of all

585
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 2: the things that we need to do. We need to

586
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 2: get rid of most of the federal government as it's

587
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: currently constructed.

588
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 4: Now.

589
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: I mentioned that he only had five, just five federal

590
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: government agencies at the time of our country's founding, no

591
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 2: federal income tax. Now we have four hundred and thirty.

592
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: Elon Musk, remember when he took over Twitter. You know

593
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: what percentage of employees he got rid of? Of the

594
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: twits that were at Twitter when he took it over,

595
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 2: how many are gone? Eighty percent? Got rid of eighty

596
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 2: percent of the Twitter employees. And Twitter's X is a

597
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: better product, now, isn't it. I think we could get

598
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: rid of about I don't know, say eighty percent the

599
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 2: federal government and have something that's better. Have something that's

600
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: more accountable, have something that's closer to I don't know

601
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: what this country was founded on can be done, but

602
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: we've got to be on the same page.

603
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 3: Primud in for claim buck. We'll be right back
