00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: And Arizona. I've actually never been to Arizona and the

Speaker 1: Bagdad a few times, as I like to say.

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: Never been to Arizona, so I need to get there.

22
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: I'll be there tomorrow, looking forward to it, all right.

23
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of stuff, a lot of

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: stuff to dive into. We have a Congress and Jim

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: Jordan with us talking to him. Second hour, we'll discuss oh,

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: so many things, the economy, the Trump Agenda, America, the restoration,

27
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: all those good things. And then Senator Marshall Blackburn third hour,

28
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: we'll speak with her about the immigration and the deportation

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: flights and also the economics. I know a lot of

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: people are focused in on that. And remember it was

31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 2: just yesterday Trump tweeted out or I guess it's truthed

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: out that it is Liberation Day and that refers to

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: the tariffs. Now there's a whole bunch of tariffs. White

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: House has put out a lot of information about this.

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: There's a whole bunch of tariffs that are taking effect.

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: Here's what we know, President Trump. This is from the

37
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: White House. President Trump invoking his authority under the International

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: Emergency Economic Powers Act of nineteen seventy seven to address

39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: the emergency posed by the large and persistent trade deficit

40
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: that is driven by the absence of reciprocity in our

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: trade relationships and other harmful policies like currency manipulation and

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 2: exorbitant value added taxes that tax perpetuated by other countries.

43
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 2: Under this i EPA, authority. President trumpel imposed a ten

44
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 2: percent tariff on all countries, going into effect April fifth,

45
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: and then President trumpelam pose an additional reciprocal tariff on

46
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits.

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: All other countries will continue to be subject to the

48
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: original ten percent that will take effect April nine. And

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: now there's more specificity about this, and it goes into

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: US Mexico Canada agreement. How that plays into this. So

51
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: there are some some goods are not part of the

52
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: reciprocal tariff, steel, aluminum, model parts. So there's a lot

53
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 2: of stuff going on, and it's big. I'm not going

54
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: to sit here and act like this is a small potatoes.

55
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 2: It's a big deal economically, and I think that first off,

56
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 2: the best way to do this is to allow President

57
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: Trump to make the case to you based on what

58
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: he said yesterday about why this is necessary. I think

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: it's unrealistic that there are people out there. Well, first

60
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: of all, there are people who all they want to

61
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: do is complain about Trump. Not just Democrats. There's some

62
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: Republicans too who seem like they only want to complain

63
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: about find something even no matter how minute, remember Signal

64
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: Gate a week ago.

65
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, there was a journalist. The strikes all happened,

66
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: but a journalist found out, but he didn't say anything.

67
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: You know, come on, here's what's going on right now.

68
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: Trump is trying to reorient a substantial component of our

69
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: economy to create long term benefit for the American people.

70
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: Now here is President Trump yesterday. I wanted you to hear.

71
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: This is this is clips a little over a minute long.

72
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: I wanted to hear, though, why are we doing this?

73
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: Let's get into it. Let's hear from the man himself.

74
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: He is absolutely committed to this. He believes in it

75
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: to his core. He has believed in it for a

76
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: very long time. Why are we doing this? Liberation Day

77
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: remarks yesterday from Trump, play cut one.

78
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: In the coming days, there will be complaints from the

79
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: globalists and the outsources and special interests and the fake

80
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: news always the fake news will always complain.

81
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: But never forget.

82
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 4: Every prediction our opponent's made about trade for the last

83
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 4: thirty years has been proven totally wrong. They were wrong

84
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: about NAFTA, they were wrong about China.

85
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: They were wrong.

86
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 4: About the Transpecific Partnership, which would have been a disaster.

87
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: If I didn't terminate it, if I didn't turn that

88
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 4: terminate that auto workers, you would have had no jobs

89
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: in this country. You would have had no jobs. I

90
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: was all going to other countries in.

91
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: My first term.

92
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 4: They said tariffs would crash the economy. Instead we built

93
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 4: the greatest economy in the history of the world. And again,

94
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: I have great respect for presidency of China, great respect

95
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 4: for China, but they were taking tremendous advantage of them

96
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 4: of us, and I commend them for that. I say, hey,

97
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: if you can get away with it, that's okay. But

98
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 4: you know, they understand exactly what's happening, and they probably

99
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 4: most of them are saying it's about time they did something.

100
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: But and they're gonna fight. They're gonna fight for everyone's

101
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 4: going to fight.

102
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 5: You know.

103
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: It's like I say to the leaders, look, you got

104
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: to take care of your country, but we have to

105
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: start taking care of our country now. We can't do

106
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 4: what we've been doing for the last fifty years.

107
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: Okay, Now, let's take this apart a little bit and

108
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: get into what he's saying. And notice I've been saying

109
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: it to you for a long time, but just in advance,

110
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: of those remarks. What he I had made the same

111
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: case to you, which is that Trump has been right

112
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: when it comes to big issues of trade commerce, big

113
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: issues of commerce, where the consensus such as that exists.

114
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: You know, you can always argue, what is the consensus

115
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: and why do we think there is even such a thing,

116
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: but such as it exists was wrong. It was wrong

117
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: in China. Here here's you know. Trump came into office

118
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,239
Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen, and on China, China, he was taking

119
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: positions that they said, oh, it's going to lead to

120
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: a trade war to but we could even take it

121
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: further back than that. It had been for decades before

122
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: Trump even thought about or was really considering seriously running

123
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: for president.

124
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm going back. You go back to the eighties, go

125
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: back in the nineties.

126
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: It had been the international elite consensus that if we

127
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: just give China what it wants when it comes to trade,

128
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: it will liberalize and democratize over time and everybody will win.

129
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: And they let it in the wto World Trade Organization.

130
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: That was completely wrong.

131
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: Right.

132
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: There are a lot of different experts and think tanks

133
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: everything who for a long time, we're taking the position

134
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: that all you have to do is just open up

135
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: your markets to China, and as China buys our coca cola,

136
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: and as China starts importing all of our cheap stuff

137
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: made in huge factories here, they're going to be all

138
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: about human rights and democracy and freedom. Just give it time.

139
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: Totally wrong. There's been no real evidence of that whatsoever.

140
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: In fact, the opposite, you could argue, has occurred, and

141
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: China has become more belligerent, more bellicost more difficult to

142
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: deal with, and as it has become wealthier.

143
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: So we made China rich.

144
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 2: Under the auspices of this is going to help us,

145
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: and it's going to help national security. And oh that

146
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: means that we're aware that trade and national security are

147
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: things that intersect, and that some things that are in

148
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: your national security interests are not necessarily completely in your

149
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: immediate trade interest like being able to make your own antibiotics,

150
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: being able to produce enough of your own microchips, you know,

151
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: go down the line, a whole range of things.

152
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: But we'll get more into that.

153
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 2: Trump though, sees this, and it takes somebody like him

154
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: who is willing to put this kind of political capital

155
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: on the line to take this kind of a risk

156
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: and I will be clear with you about this.

157
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: It's a risk.

158
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: It's a risk economically financially for the country. But I

159
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: think a couple things about it. One, it makes sense

160
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: to me as he explains it, and as we see

161
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: what's happening.

162
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: They're already up in countries.

163
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: Just yesterday Israel Prime Minister that yahoo said, look, we're

164
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: getting rid of all you know what. He's right, Let's

165
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: get rid of all trade barriers with the United States

166
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: and let's just continue to build that special relationship.

167
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: Great, look at that.

168
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: There are other countries as well that have backed off

169
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: a tariff that they have or they're you know, this

170
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: is all part of a negotiation. So as we go

171
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: into some of the details here and I'll play more

172
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: from Trump, but more from Steven Miller. Yeah, massive change

173
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: is going to feel unsettling for people for a little bit.

174
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: It's not going to just happen overnight and be perfect.

175
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: But if you want to fix things, you have to

176
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: be willing to take the actions to fix them and

177
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: be in a position to do so. And like I said,

178
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 2: Trump is willing to do this. He could be on

179
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: the golf course with Clay right now. Hang, I mean

180
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: he actually might be, but I don't think he.

181
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: Is like he is. Claying is for some. But I mean,

182
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: he could be hanging on the golf course forever. He

183
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: could just be.

184
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: He's got billions of dollars, got grandkids and family, and

185
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: you know, he can just sail off into the sunset

186
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: and enjoy himself at mar A Lago. But instead he

187
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: has taken it upon himself to try to do something

188
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: incredibly important for the future of the country because he

189
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: truly believes in it, and he has I have to

190
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: look at the record here. He has been right on

191
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: areas where the economic consensus has been against him.

192
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: That is a fact. And so on this one.

193
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: Again, there are a lot of people, and there are

194
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: some people that I respect a lot and like a

195
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: lot on the right who are very concerned about this,

196
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 2: And to them, I just say, I think Trump has

197
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: made a strong enough case and is in a strong

198
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 2: enough position politically where let the man cook, let him

199
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: do what he does. Let's see how he negotiates. Even

200
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 2: Bill Ackman, right, who's a kind of a recent convert

201
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: to the center. I would say he used to be

202
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: a Democrat, Hillary Support, etc. Bill Ackman is a multi

203
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: billionaire hedge, fun guy, investor guy, and he's along with

204
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 2: Elon and some of these other very wealthy, very high

205
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 2: IQ individuals, have realized Democrat parties insane. They're a bunch

206
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: of lunatic, gender identity obsessed communists. So he says, if

207
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: you're going to be common sense, or he's seen, if

208
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: you're going to be common sense, you have to be

209
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: a Republican. There's no other major political party for you

210
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: to support right now. Maybe he calls himself an independent.

211
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I thought this was very very

212
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: astute observation from Bill Lackman. He put out on X

213
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: sometimes the best strategy in a negotiation is convincing the

214
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: other side that you are crazy.

215
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: Now, I know some of you.

216
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: Might be like, hey, Trump's not crazy, Well, yeah, he's

217
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: not crazy. Obviously, he's crazy like a fox in this context,

218
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: meaning he's a guy who.

219
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: Needs the other side.

220
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: To believe that he's willing to do things that were

221
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: impossible for American leadership to consider before that there could

222
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 2: be consequences, and that's that's so, that's that's a part

223
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 2: of this. I've said to you before, I've explained you know,

224
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: we were just talking about uh, who is the actor

225
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm blanking on his name who just just passed away,

226
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: who was in heat? Val Kilmer, Thank you, Val Kilmer.

227
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: Valcom's best role, in my opinion. You can argue, I

228
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: know some of you're going to say the Doors, but

229
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: I think Val Kilmer's best role for me is Tombstone,

230
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: where he plays Doc Holliday. And there's a great scene

231
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: I've mentioned this year before in the context of foreign

232
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: policy with Trump, I think it applies here too. We're

233
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: wide are very competently, very well played by Kurt Russell.

234
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: They they kind of they throw the double barrel shotgun

235
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: when they're about to have the shootout in the OK Corral.

236
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 2: They didn't know it was going to be shoot out,

237
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: but they were preparing. He throws the shotgun and he goes,

238
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: let's put Doc on the street Howitzer. They might have

239
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: less itchy trigger fingers as a result, something like that, right,

240
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: but let's put Doc Holladay on the street Howitzer. Being

241
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: you want the crazy guy with the Bazuka is basically

242
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: the idea in this analogy. Trump is the crazy guy

243
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: with the bazuka on trade. You want you want to

244
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: play this game with them, or you want to be reasonable.

245
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: You want to be fair.

246
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: You want to deal with the reciprocal tariffs. You know,

247
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: for a guy who has survived two assassination attempts, two impeachments,

248
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 2: you know, for Bologney criminal trials, beat the Hillary machine,

249
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 2: beat the Biden, you know, Kamala machine. I think he's

250
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: earned the right to try this his way and at

251
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: least have those of us who have believed in them

252
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: all along look at this and say, let's see what

253
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: he can do. And just remember this catastrophism and selling panic.

254
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 2: It's just such a cheap way of getting attention for

255
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: so many people. Oh you know, the sky is falling

256
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: stuff way of getting attention, cheap way of having people

257
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: think that you have something worthwhile to say, stock market's

258
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: gon down.

259
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: Look at the stock market.

260
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: It hasn't gone down in any meaningful way really since

261
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight other than the pandemic drop. And

262
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: the pandemic drop was completely a self inflicted wound. And

263
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: anybody like me he was paying attention, was like, well,

264
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: this is gonna be great because people a gonna realize

265
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: this is like a cold. Then we should just go

266
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: back about our lives. And there's no you know, the

267
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: economy isn't destroyed by the pandemic. That was just lunatics

268
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: who made it anyway. So yeah, there may be something

269
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: of a drop in the.

270
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: Stock market for a bit. I believe it will be temporary.

271
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: Look, if it's not temporary, then the American people can

272
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: go and vote and they can hold Trump and the

273
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: Republicans accountable for this decision the next time around. I

274
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: think they're gonna say when it comes time for that, Wow,

275
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: what leadership. Look at how things are going better for

276
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: us now. And that's what leadership is. When you have

277
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: what you believe, truly based on all your wisdom and

278
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: and all of your life experience and all of your expertise,

279
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: this is the right thing to do. It's in the

280
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: best interest of the people I lead, and I'm going

281
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: to do it because of that. I'm not going to

282
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: sit around in you know, oh, which way is the

283
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: wind blowing? So this is what Liberation Day is about.

284

Speaker 2: We'll talk more about it. I'll take your calls on

285
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: an eight hundred and two eighty two two eight a two.

286
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: Look another week, another new cyber scam. Some cyber hackers

287
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: are really smart, unfortunately, and they've got all kinds of

288
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: really clever ways to get a hold of your identity online.

289
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: It's never personal. They're not targeting you. They're just on

290
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: the hunt for information for anybody out there right. It

291
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: could be you could be me. It has been me

292
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: in the past. Latest scam is you get a call

293
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: on your cell phone from someone pretending to be from

294
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: a brokerage firm you do business with, offering to confirm

295
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: information on your account. They go so far as to

296
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: want to double verify the info. They're very slick. Because

297
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: the caller is from your brokerage firm confirming your addressing

298
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: cell phone, you're likely to fall for it. But of

299
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: course they're not from your brokerage firm. It's a scam.

300
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: That's how cybercrommet identity theft are affecting us day today.

301

317
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 4: My fellow Americans, this is liberation days waiting for.

318
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: A long time.

319
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: April second, twenty twenty five will forever be remembered as

320
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 4: the day American industry was reborn, the day America's destiny

321
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 4: was reclaimed, and the day that we began to make

322
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 4: America wealthy again.

323
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to make it wealthy, good, and wealthy.

324
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 4: Our country and its taxpayers have been ripped off for

325
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 4: more than fifty years. But it is not going to

326
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 4: happen anymore.

327
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: It's not going to happen. President Trump.

328
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 2: There speaking all Liberation Day, which was yesterday, which who

329
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: knows could be a day that we all remember for

330
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: a long time to come, probably more so in retrospect.

331
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: Right. Otherwise, yesterday seemed like a pretty normal day.

332
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: But President Trump is very committed to this idea of

333
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 2: rebalancing the unbalanced playing field of global trade. And again

334
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: the fundamental questions that I continue to posset, and I

335
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: never get a good answer for this. If it's so

336
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: bad to have to triffs, why do other countries have tariffs?

337
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: Keep in mind, it's not even just tariffs. Look, this

338
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: is very complicated stuff. You're talking about a global economy

339
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: of thirty trillion dollars, so there's a lot going on. Okay,

340
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: the numbers are massive, thankfully. Right, the world is so

341
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: much The world overall is so much wealthier in real

342
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: terms today than it was one hundred years ago or

343
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 2: one hundred years before that. You know, the system that

344
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: we have, for all of its imperfections, capitalism and markets

345
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 2: has created incredible human prosperity and flourishing, which is a

346
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: great thing, and we shouldn't lose sight of that. Right

347
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: you are, This is what I was. I was saying.

348
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: A catastrophism is a simpleton's way of getting attention.

349
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: Right, Oh, everything's gonna fall apart.

350
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: I think I've shared with you before this anecdote that

351
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: one of my favorite authors, Michael Crichton. I know he's

352
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: like a sci fi pop writer guy, but I think

353
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: he's brilliant. He passed way years ago, but he said

354
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: that he had had the experience he had learned over

355
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: many years running in circles among the elites. Because remember

356
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 2: the nineties, if you were best selling, if you were

357
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 2: Michael Crichton or a Tom Clancy or I'm trying to

358
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: who's the guy who does all the grisham you know?

359
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you know Stephen King. I know Stephen King

360
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: is like a lunatic communist, but he sold a lot

361
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: of books. If you were one of these guys, you

362
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: were an elite society and invited, you know, a lot

363
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: of parties and stuff.

364
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 1: To people could be like, oh, I saw so and

365
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: so the famous author. And he said that.

366
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: If you try to tell people that the world is

367
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: actually good and getting better, they they want to fight

368
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 2: you because they think that that's a more sophisticated position

369
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: to take. It's more sophisticated always in the eyes of

370
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 2: people who generally aren't as smart as they think they

371
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: are to say everything is crap, everything's going to hell,

372
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: and they know that that gets attention too. And it's

373
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 2: a very simple position to take. It's a very it's

374
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: the easy way out. Now there are problems, right, you

375
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: don't want to be on the other side either, where

376
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: everything is amazing. But he just he warned against using

377
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: catastrophism as a fallback and a means of getting attention

378
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: for yourself.

379
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: And I think that there's a lot of uh.

380
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: And he actually said that people get mad at would

381
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: get mad at him when he would explain to them

382
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: that scientifically, the advances that are going on in the world,

383
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: and this came up in the context of climate change.

384
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: He can tell people, no, no, you don't have to worry

385
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: climate change.

386
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: Is it real?

387
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not in any significant way. It doesn't matter,

388
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: so don't worry. And they would get very angry about that, right,

389
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: we were telling them that their climate change, false God

390
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 2: was not real. With this, what I see is a

391
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 2: lot of people who know that if they tell you

392
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 2: that the world is falling apart right now because of Trump,

393
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: and they tell you and they.

394
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 3: Oh, the markets, look at what the markets are.

395
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 2: Doing and all this stuff, then even if they're wrong,

396
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: in six months or a year, things will be so

397
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: much better that nobody will really take the time to

398
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: go back and say, hey, why were you so wrong

399
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: about this? But also negative and really undermining the necessary

400
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: resetting of some of these global relationships, because that's really

401
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: what we're talking about here, you know, international trade relationships.

402
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: And then there's the Steven Miller approach, which is.

403
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 7: Stephen Miller is he takes the intellectual approach, but he

404
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 7: also applies a little bit of the Conan the barbarian

405
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 7: ethic to it, where he is just like, I'm going

406
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 7: to drive my enemy from their villages and hear the

407
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 7: lamentations of their women.

408
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: Like Stephen Miller does not hold back. My man has

409
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: showed up ready to throw down from day one of

410
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: the first Trump term. And now, as you know, he's

411
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: a White House deputy White House deputy chief of staff.

412
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: Here he is on Liberation Day. This has cut six

413
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: just laying it out there, and I think he was

414
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: hitting home runs.

415
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: Listen to it.

416
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 8: The announcement today is the most significant action on global

417
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 8: trade policy that has taken place in our lifetime. So

418
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 8: it's not even a close call. This is probably the

419
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 8: biggest event that's happened on global trade since the very

420
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 8: ill fated decision that we are now reversing of knocking

421
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 8: down all of America's trade tariffs and revenue policies that

422
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 8: led to the offshoring and outsourcing of all for industries.

423
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 8: So this is the great reversal of that. Great portrayal

424
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 8: is how we look at it. So in the twentieth century,

425
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 8: successive American presidents knocked down all of the policies that

426
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 8: we had to protect the American industry, and they did

427
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 8: insane things like letting China into the World Trade Organization

428
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 8: as an example, and we watched all of our factories

429
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 8: go overseas. This is the complete reversal of that. This

430
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 8: is the great onshoring, the great reshoring of American jobs

431
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 8: and wealth. So if you look at America today, we're

432
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 8: totally dependent on foreign countries for the supplies to make

433
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 8: this country run. For all of the essential goods, materials,

434
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 8: manufactured products that make it possible for us to.

435
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: Live our lives. Our cars are electronics.

436
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 8: All the materials that go into our homes, our buildings,

437
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 8: our medical supplies, our entire supply chains are completely embedded

438
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 8: than foreign countries. There's a national emergency of any kind

439
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 8: in a country shuts off an import or a foreign

440
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 8: power embargoes a sea lane. We are then left defenseless,

441
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 8: helpless because of the decisions that prior leaders made that

442
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 8: President Trump is now reversing to let all of these

443
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 8: industries leave our country.

444
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: He's laying it out so well. And I'll get more

445
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 2: into the national security piece of this in a second,

446
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: because that's even more long term in the thinking, well,

447
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 2: we would hope, right what happens in what does the

448
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: world look like, given current trajectories for warfare, warfare of

449
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: the future is going to be We've just gone through

450
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 2: a period of twenty something years here where America in

451
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: our wars has had complete technological dominance, complete aerial dominance,

452
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: and they were really large scale policing and counterinsurgency actions

453
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: in i Rock and Afghanistan and nation building for people

454
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: that should build.

455
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: Their own nations and we should left that to them.

456
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: But that's a let's just.

457
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: Not get not walk down that pathway right now. But

458
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 2: there there was a particular focus on the the you know,

459
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: the the elite individual soldier, the American soldier, and all

460
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 2: the different things and rules. But it was an infantry,

461
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 2: largely infantry operations. We're talking about here, right, the war

462
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 2: of the future that we're looking especially if we avoid

463
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: getting into these these entanglements of nation building and trying

464
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: to separate warring parties. You know, I I'm weaving here,

465
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: so I'm sorry. I got to go into this for

466
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 2: a second. I watched on Netflix recently.

467
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: This was worth it.

468
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: This is actually worth watching Surviving black Hawk Down. And

469
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 2: Surviving black Hawk Down's very good, very well done series.

470
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: I read the Mark Boden book when it came out.

471
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: Actually initially it was a series of articles and then

472
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: it came out as a book. But I read it

473
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: along time ago, and then I saw the movie. I

474
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: think the movie is one of the best war movies

475
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: I've ever seen, one of the most realistic modern war

476
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: movies ever made. And you know, it's just it's an

477
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 2: incredible story. It's an incredible story, and it shows the bravery,

478
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: the challenges, the risks that our infantry are our soldiers

479
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 2: take in these kind of third world hell holes. But

480
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 2: also what the Surviving blackhawk Down, to me, at least

481
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: series adds to this is you get a little more

482
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 2: of the context of what the heck were we doing there?

483
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, of course running the show. And we're there

484
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: because there's a civil war going on, you know, all

485
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: over small but mostly we're based in Mogadishu. You got

486
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: warring factions and we're we're trying to do a humanitarian mission,

487
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: but then we've got apaches doing strike missions, and then

488
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 2: we want to do more human I mean, it was the.

489
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: Strategic the police level was a disaster.

490
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna say that Bill Clinton the most

491
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: overrated intellect maybe in the history of American politics.

492
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm so smart.

493
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, please, we know what Bill, We know what Bill

494
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: was really thinking about. And it wasn't policy in Somalia,

495
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 2: that's for sure. And I'm brave soldiers of ours paid

496
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: paid for the poor strategy and planning with their lives,

497
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 2: and many of them were wounded. But I think about

498
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 2: this in the context of these We've learned this lesson

499
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: many times. Oh and you also, I would add to this.

500
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 2: You see the perspective of Somali militia leaders. They interviewed them,

501
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: which was really interesting. Who were there that day at

502
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: the black Hawk Down incident. You see what they were saying.

503
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: And anyway, so I would I would recommend you. I

504
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: know a lot of you don't like Netflix, you don't

505
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 2: want to subscribe to it, but I'm just saying, if

506
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: you do subscribe to Netflix, this is a worthwhile series.

507
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: But that was another one of these police actions. What

508
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 2: are we doing there? Assuming we don't do that, And

509
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: that's a lesson that we may have to just keep

510
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 2: in mind going forward. Right, That's something that you know,

511
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: you look at the Democrats. If Democrats see an opportunity

512
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 2: to send other people sons and daughters to die for

513
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 2: a war that they themselves would not fight in but

514
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: makes them feel good about themselves at Georgetown cocktail parties, Hey,

515
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: that's the kind of war they want other people fighting.

516
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 2: So we have to remember that's not what we want.

517
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: That's not what we want to do. But the war

518
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: of the future is going to be based on technology,

519
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 2: material machinery and robotics and AI and satellite connectivity and drones.

520
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 2: That's very apparent. And I have friends who work in

521
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: the aerospace and defense sector, and I know people that

522
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: are that are involved in the cutting edge of this.

523
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 2: And why does that matter for trade? Because that really

524
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: turns into a who can make more of the best

525
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: stuff the fastest at the highest level wins. So it's

526
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 2: not just a oh, China has cheaper labor costs unless

527
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 2: environl our mental regulation, so we should just let them

528
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: make all of our stuff. Well, if things continue to

529
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 2: heat up, remember this is not stuff you can switch

530
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 2: on overnight. If China has all the factories to give

531
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: us all this stuff for different sectors that are national

532
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 2: security dependent, they can turn that spigot off when they

533
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 2: want to. And yeah, maybe in a couple of years

534
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: we could start to catch up. But if we go

535
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: into a hot war with China in twenty years or

536
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: ten years, or who knows, we're not going to have

537
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: a few years to play catch up. And that's what

538
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: Trump and his team are taking into account now as well.

539
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: I understand there's also the short term financial impacts, and

540
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: we'll talk more about this, but there's a clear national

541
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: security component to the degree the amount of offshoring that

542
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: we have for our industrial base. And that's an additional

543
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: conversation to what do we do for the American middle class?

544
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: Just working Americans trying to pay their bills? You know

545
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: what happens for them, what's best for them? How could

546
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: you create an economy where there are a lot of

547
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: job opportunities. Of course, illegal immigration plays into this too.

548
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: Supply and demand in terms of human materi l is

549
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,959
Speaker 2: also a real thing, right, you have to look at

550
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: personnel that matters. How many people are available for a

551
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: job that matters. So all these different pieces come together.

552
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: But back on the national security piece. Here, as I

553
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: said Stephen Miller laying it down yesterday on Liberation Day,

554
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: this is cut seven.

555
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 8: And so what he's doing today is for the first

556
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 8: time ever, you're saying that if you have stolen our

557
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 8: jobs and therefore threatens our national security, we will apply

558
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 8: a reciprocal tariff based on the degree of your misconduct.

559
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 8: So for countries like China, for example, they will see

560
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 8: a very high terriff fright because they've engaged in the

561
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 8: most egregious conduct threaten as our national security. For countries

562
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 8: that have severe but not as severe misconduct, they'll see

563
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 8: a moderate but not as high tariff fright. The effect, though,

564
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,239
Speaker 8: of those global tariffs will be that companies will have

565
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 8: to move their production back into the United States. So

566
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 8: factories will leave, whether it be Mexico or Canada, or

567
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 8: Vietnam or Cambodia or China or the European Union, they

568
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 8: will come back to the United States to produce their products,

569
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 8: to make their goods, and in so doing, Yes, it

570
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 8: will create jobs. Yes it will increase revenues. But most importantly,

571
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 8: it will restore our national security so that we will

572
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 8: not be dependent on anyone else to survive and thrive

573
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 8: us a nation.

574
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 2: All of these pieces together, they all tie in together,

575
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: and they're Yes, there are competing interests, and yes, this

576
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: isn't going to be easy from the get go. There's

577
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: gonna be an adjustment period. I don't know how long

578
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: it will be.

579
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: And as I've.

580
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: Said, you know, if Trump is wrong on this one,

581
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: then the economy has.

582
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: A Look, it's not gonna be the Great Depression.

583
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 2: It's not gonna please I actually think things are going

584
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 2: to It's gonna be pretty quick, and you're gonna have

585
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: what I would say is the Trump dividend. The Trump

586
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: bounce back might take until the fall, maybe it's this summer,

587
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. But once some of this stuff gets

588
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: cleared out of the system, and once they start bringing

589
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: rates down and there's all these things that can happen,

590
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: you are going to see Remember the first Trump I

591
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: keep talking about the record, Remember the first Trump economy,

592
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: before COVID and before the Democrats, because their psychos used

593
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: the whole thing or lock everything down and shut down

594
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: the economy artificially. Economy from twenty sixteen to twenty to

595
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen when Trump took office to twenty nineteen.

596
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: Was kicking, but kicking, but and all all the way through.

597
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: The guy knows what he's doing. He knows what he's

598
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: doing on this stuff. I have faith in him, and

599
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: I think all of you do as well. So we'll

600
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: continue to follow this. I'm gonna tell you something. Clay

601
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: was down here for a couple days. We had a

602
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: great time South Beach. You might have seen I posted weird.

603
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: We actually went to the gym together yesterday, you know,

604
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: throwing up. I don't know, I wasn't I'm not counting,

605
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 2: you know where Clay and I thrown up four five

606
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: hundred pounds on the bench. Can neither confirm nor deny.

607
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: But what I can confirm for you is we had

608
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: a steak night with Good Ranchers. So we're sponsors a

609
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 2: sponsored of course here on the show by Good Ranchers.

610
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: But they kind of sponsored our steak night because Carry

611
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: and I have a freezer full of Good Rancher stuff.

612
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 2: We even had the chicken nuggets during the show, not yesterday,

613
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: the day before. I just made some chicken nuggets as

614
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: a snacker in the break. We're here in my home studio.

615
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: But the steak Night with Good Ranchers was absolutely fantastic.

616
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you this. Good Ranchers all speaking about

617
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 2: all American, all American farms, all American ranchers. I love

618
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 2: their stuff. It's so delicious. I'm gonna tell you I

619
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: run the cast iron here. I will say Carrie is

620
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: the queen of the kitchen, but I run the cast iron. Okay,

621
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm the cast iron man. And I took some t

622
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: bone steaks from Good Ranchers that I had, and I

623
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: seared them. They were so delicious. Usually i'll make like

624
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: a little bit of a kind of a butter an

625
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: herb sauce, if you will, for the steak. I didn't

626
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: need it because it was so juicy. INTENT didn't make

627
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: any sauce, which is nice, right because I don't need

628
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 2: it because the meat's that good. Get a Good Ranchers

649
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: always appreciate you making the time.

650
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: You bet Bucket to be with you can we start.

651
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 2: You know what, I want to have you react to this. Okay,

652
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 2: Over at CNBC, this is cut eight. They are freaking

653
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 2: out right now, and I wanted to let you tell

654
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: everybody how you're feeling about this. But let's play cut eight.

655
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 2: This is the situation of the terriff assessment over there, playing.

656
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 9: The market reaction after hours. I've never seen anything like it. This,

657
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 9: I think fair to say, is worse than the worst

658
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 9: case scenario of the tariffs that many in the market

659
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 9: expected the President to impose. And there's some question of

660
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 9: how the administration calculated the percentages that they're responding to

661
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 9: in each of these cases. Are they adding in value

662
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 9: added taxes? He talked about non tariff barriers as well,

663
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 9: So I think while many were hoping that this would

664
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 9: eliminates uncertainty, there's going to be more uncertainty in the market, worse.

665
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: Than the worst case scenario. Jim, what do you make

666
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: of it?

667
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 5: Everyone needs to relax. And you know the thing I

668
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 5: keep coming up with all these these foreign countries saying

669
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 5: they're going to do this if TARA and talking about

670
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 5: how bad it is the President Tump does this. If

671
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 5: tariffs are so bad, why don't they just get rid

672
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 5: of the tariffs they have on all our products. I mean,

673
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 5: it's it's that's pretty basic. And frankly, that's the president's argument.

674
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 5: Why don't you show us the respect we've shown you.

675
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 5: They won't do that. He's saying, Okay, we're tired of

676
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 5: taking it on the chin. We're tired of manufacturing leaving

677
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 5: this country. I mean, my dad was a union worker

678
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 5: for General Motors in Dayton, Ohio. There used to be

679
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 5: several plants GM plants in Dayton. Now there's not. And

680
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 5: and and the auto worker who stood up yesterday with

681
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 5: the I thought the President's for march were great. The

682
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 5: auto worker who stood up, I think spoke for so

683
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 5: many middle middle class, working class families. Enough of this,

684
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 5: Let's try something different, Let's tell them to quit sticking

685
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 5: it to us, and let's look out for the interest

686
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 5: of the American family, the American worker, in the American economy.

687
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 2: So you you have faith that this should play out

688
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 2: and that the president, I mean, how much of this

689
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 2: in your mind do you think is just the ongoing

690
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 2: negotiation of it before we can even know what it

691
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 2: is that's going to be the final dispensation of where

692
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: these different tariff numbers are.

693
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 5: No. I think that's a good point. And we all

694
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 5: know that the President is is this great, is a

695
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 5: great negotiator, He's I think he believes in tariffs. He

696
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 5: certainly said that he's used tariffs in the past. He

697
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 5: used it in his first term. I know he used

698
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 5: it on steel and the benefit in manufacturing in our

699
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 5: great state, particularly the whirlpool facility in our one of

700
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 5: the many whorldpool facilities in our in our state. So

701
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 5: this shouldn't be a big surprise. You never had to

702
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 5: this degree. But like anything worth accomplishing, anything worth really achieving,

703
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 5: there's always some effort and some discipline and some toughness

704
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 5: involved with getting there. That's just the way life works.

705
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 5: I don't think this is any different. But I think

706
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 5: the American people see where the President wants to go.

707
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 5: Certainly working class people see where he wants to go.

708
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 5: They know what's happened in manufacturing, and I think there's

709
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 5: a trust level there with the president network. It'll be

710
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 5: maybe some difficult times here for a while, but I

711
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 5: think we get through it and we come out better

712
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 5: on the other side. And that's the whole point.

713
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: Someone else that caught My attention. Congressman, you are the

714
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and you can speak

715
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: to this internal FBI chat law yes, showing that the

716
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: FBI imposed a gag order about the New York Post

717
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 2: story on the Hunter Biden laptop the day it came out.

718
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: Oh my, give us these details.

719
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, we knew this from a deposition,

720
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 5: but this is the first time we've got the document.

721
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 5: So God bless the FBI. This is this is the

722
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 5: night and day difference between what we had before and

723
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 5: what we have under Cashptel and Pam Bondi the Justice Department.

724
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 5: But we had mister Brady Olsen, one of the guys

725
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 5: mentioned in his chat that you can see it, but

726
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 5: he told us, he said, yeah, in a meeting that

727
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 5: these regular meetings that took place where the FBI would

728
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 5: go talk to big tech and they'll run up to

729
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 5: the twenty twenty presidential election, and they were prepping them

730
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 5: on all that there might be an information operation, it

731
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 5: might come from a foreign country. They were prepping them

732
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 5: on what they knew could happen because they had the

733
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 5: laptop and they knew it was real. That one of

734
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 5: these meetings, the day that this comes up is October fourteenth.

735
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 5: It comes up and someone says is the laptop reel

736
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 5: and the FBI confirms it. Someone spoke out a turn.

737
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 5: They quickly get together, get their story straight, and from

738
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 5: that point on they say no comment. And then they

739
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 5: even have in the chat. The one that stuck out

740
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 5: with me was where they said Twitter is treating this

741
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 5: story as disinformation. They treated as this information because you

742
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 5: prepped them for that and you knew it was real.

743
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 5: This just demonstrates what we knew all along that the

744
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 5: FBI wasn't being square with the American people.

745
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: Now, how confident are you in the ability for that

746
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: entity to be reformed? I know you have a lot

747
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: of faith in Director Patel and Deputy Director Bondino, But

748
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: they're taking as it's an unwieldy and problematic operation. They're

749
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 2: taking over. What are some of the things that you

750
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 2: think need to get done over there, not only to

751
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: clean house internally, but to help restore faith for the

752
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 2: American people in a federal la enforcement institution that we

753
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: need to function at the highest level and without partisan agenda.

754
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, already two things have happened. One, they're beginning to

755
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 5: move people out of the third of the FBI agents

756
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 5: we're in DC area. Well that's not where all the

757
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 5: crime takes place. I mean enough takes place in this area.

758
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 5: But so they're moving them out and focusing more on

759
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 5: traditional going after traditional bad guys versus this surveillance on

760
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 5: American citizens. So that's one huge step in the right

761
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:42,240
Speaker 5: direction that Director Bettel and Dana put in into place. Second,

762
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 5: I just know what we've gotten in the in the

763
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 5: first few weeks that he's been running the FBI. We

764
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 5: said seven subpoenas over there five weeks ago. The response

765
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 5: the documents we're getting is, like I said, it's night

766
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 5: and day compared to what we got under Chris Ray,

767
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 5: what we got under Merrick Garland at the Justice Department.

768
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 5: So there's just two examples of where they're already changing

769
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 5: how that place operates, saying we're going to get the

770
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 5: truth and we're going to get the facts of the

771
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 5: American people, answer the questions that they have, and we're

772
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 5: going to put our agents on actually stopping you know,

773
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 5: the crime activity that that is that we traditionally associate

774
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 5: with the FBI, mafia, organized clime, money, launching, all those things,

775
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 5: versus again buying on the American people.

776
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: Talking to Congress and Jim Jordan from Ohio and uh,

777
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 2: one thing that I think a congressman, that is interesting

778
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 2: to see how President Trump is staying on this and

779
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 2: not not moving, not moving the agenda very much from

780
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 2: what he said.

781
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 1: It would be the freeze on funding to Maine.

782
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: Remember there was that little back and forth with the

783
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: governor of Maine and the President where she was she

784
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: was talking tough about you know, I'll see you in court,

785
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: and he was like.

786
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 1: Let's do it. I love court, Let's go to court.

787
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: And now the Trump administration is freeze funding to Maine

788
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: for letting trans athletes compete against girls by you know,

789
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 2: man in biological man or teenagers competing against girls. It

790
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: feels like promise made, promise kept on this one. What

791
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 2: do you make of it?

792
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 8: Yeah?

793
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 5: No, this is this is why the American people appreciate

794
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 5: the President. I say this all the time. We make

795
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 5: the job too complicate. What to tell the voters you

796
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 5: were going to do when you ran for it. If

797
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 5: they elect you, do what you said. And this is

798
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 5: president he told It's not like you told us. It

799
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 5: wasn't gonna be a doje ef he's not like you

800
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 5: told us he wasn't going to run that. It's not

801
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 5: like you told us he wasn't for caraffs and he

802
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 5: was tired of being being taken advantage by other countries.

803
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 5: And it's not like he told us that. You know,

804
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 5: he thinks, like the vast majority of Americans that you know,

805
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 5: guys shouldn't be competing against girls in sports. I mean,

806
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 5: so he's doing what he said, and I think so

807
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 5: many Americans just appreciate that. And he says this all

808
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 5: the time, and we've talked about this buck but like

809
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 5: we're the Party of common sense. It's common sense to

810
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 5: to have a border. The left of party are crazy.

811
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 5: It's crazy not to have a border. It's crazy to

812
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 5: say boys to compete against girls in sports. It's crazy

813
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 5: to to to I mean, to take a plane and

814
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 5: a judge say, turn the plane around, bring the bad

815
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 5: guys back here who were illegal, part of an organized

816
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 5: terrorist organization, the most dangerous gang on the planet. Turned

817
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 5: that plane around and bring it back. That's crazy. So

818
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 5: the President is all for doing the common sense things

819
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 5: that he campaigned on, and one of them was the

820
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 5: issue with the governor made and he's sticking to it,

821
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 5: and God bless him for doing it.

822
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 2: Did you see this, this female fencer who took a

823
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: knee instead of competing against a male opponent. She was

824
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: disqualified for this, And I just think that one, it's

825
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 2: a brave thing to do for this young woman to

826
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 2: do it, but also it's the right.

827
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: Thing to do.

828
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: People should not women should not subject themselves to this anymore.

829
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: There should be I think, a campaign to opt I mean,

830
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 2: you were a college athlete, there should be a campaign

831
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:43,479
Speaker 2: to opt out.

832
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, you know, and God blessed Riley Gaines

833
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 5: and what she's done, the President's executive order that he

834
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 5: signed about five six weeks ago. But you need people

835
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 5: who are courageous like this, this young lady who's stood

836
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 5: up or I guess in this situation she knelt down

837
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 5: and said no, we're not going there. And and Riley

838
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 5: Gaines who started this, and others. Everyone instinctively knows this

839
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 5: is wrong, particularly parent of young ladies who are competing

840
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 5: in sports, who are working hard to it. We had

841
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 5: two daughters, both were athletes. I mean, that's it's just

842
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 5: ridiculous and everyone gets it. But if the left wants

843
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 5: to defend it, from a political standpoint, I don't think

844
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 5: it helps them just one more example of the crazy

845
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 5: positions that left now takes.

846
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: Do you think that?

847
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 2: And I'm just asking for your your sense of it, right,

848
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 2: I know that you can't really know, but I'm curious

849
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 2: what your perception is of it. Among Democrat House colleagues.

850
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: You know, when when you see how they have to take,

851
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 2: what positions they take on this issue of the transgender

852
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 2: sports stuff, is it more that they actually believe this

853
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: or more that they're just afraid of the crazies within

854
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,959
Speaker 2: their party who think that this is the new civil

855
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 2: rights crusade.

856
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 5: It's the latter. It's you know, it's the old. Some

857
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 5: politicians when they get asked a question, it's a yeah

858
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 5: for that next question, please that they just want to

859
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 5: move on. They just want to like, uh, kind of

860
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 5: ignore it. But I think it's more of the latter. Now.

861
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 5: There are some I mean the heart I always say,

862
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 5: not all Democrats are crazy, but the left that controls

863
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 5: their party is, and that's where the energy is in

864
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 5: the party. It's it's the it's the radical left, and

865
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 5: they're they're driving this stuff. So I think many of

866
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 5: them just kind of put the head down and move on,

867
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 5: don't want to deal with it and helps less leave

868
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 5: them alone. But there are some, there are some who

869
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 5: truly believe that you should just let it happen with

870
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 5: them like it. That's great.

871
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: It is. It is crazy, is not, and that is

872
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: the only way to describe it.

873
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 2: It is a it is a nonsane, insane thing to believe.

874
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 2: And and the fact that this continues on is It's

875
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 2: just I think the Democrat Party has to carry this

876
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 2: around and they're not gonna They're not gonna be able

877
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 2: to win this issue because they're wrong and because they're lying. Well,

878
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 2: you know, usually now we get to like clays out,

879
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 2: today's playing golf, you know, as one does. It is

880
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 2: having a good time. So usually we'd ask you a

881
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 2: sports question. I actually have an nerd question for you.

882
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 2: But you know how the budget process and the money

883
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 2: stuff works. You mentioned Doge, So sorry, Usually now we'd

884
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 2: have some fun. But instead I'm like, let's let's take

885
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: out the calculator.

886
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 5: Way though, you should go with us next time we go.

887
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 5: You should go to the INNA wrestling with this next

888
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 5: it was. There was some boring matches early, but the

889
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 5: heavyweight match was so you got to come with us

890
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 5: next time. Oh, I would love to wet. You got

891
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 5: to come with us next time we go to that.

892
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 5: It's a fun time, you know.

893
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 2: My my primary school in New York actually wrote about

894
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 2: this on X used to require everybody in the winter

895
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 2: season for sports to do wrestling, and I thought it

896
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 2: was a great It was great.

897
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: No, I mean it, it was great. Like it was.

898
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 2: We all learned the basics and we had tournaments and

899
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 2: then Jim Classic. Of course, they got rid of it

900
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 2: about ten years after I graduated because people thought it

901
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 2: was too violent. You know, there was this whole oh

902
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 2: the parrots. Yeah, wrestling was too violent, you know, anyway

903
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 2: it was. It was kind of crazy. Okay, wait my

904
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 2: nerd question. Yes, I'd love to go to the wrestling

905
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 2: nerd question. Though important you mentioned, doge. I see all

906
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 2: this stuff about the cut. How much of this is

907
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 2: Trump can cut as executive chief, and how much of

908
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: it is those identifying where there should be cuts that

909
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: you and your colleagues in Congress are going to have

910
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 2: to figure out, and the budgets that the money actually

911
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 2: gets taken out Again.

912
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 5: It's more of the latter. We're going to have to

913
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 5: do a recision package. Now, the way the decision package

914
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 5: works is the White House sends it to Capitol Hill.

915
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 5: So it's different. Normally, all spending and taxing bills obviously

916
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 5: start in the Congress, specifically in the House. Under the constitution,

917
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 5: taxing and spending is the House representatives, the body close

918
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 5: to the people. But this is something where you want

919
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 5: to rescind money that's already been appropriated. The White House

920
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 5: sends it to Capitol Hill and says, these things are ridiculous.

921
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 5: Can you rescind this? And the beauty of a recision

922
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 5: package is you only need fifty votes in the Senate.

923
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 5: You don't need to get to the supermajority of sixty.

924
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 5: So we're waiting for that package. We've been pushing and

925
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 5: urging the White House to get us that package. I

926
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 5: would have loved to have done this in steps, even

927
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 5: like last week. It had been nice to have a

928
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 5: bill that simply said no more money goes to npry

929
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 5: have followed this. The lady miser of course, by the CEO.

930
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 5: She was terrible. She said it was eighty seven to zero,

931
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 5: eighty seven Democrat editors at NPR in the DC area,

932
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 5: zero Republicans according to one of their journalist who worked

933
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 5: there twenty five years, who was an award winning journalist.

934
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 5: She did that research and gave that data, and I

935
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 5: asked her a question. I said, are you guys unbiased?

936
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 5: He goes, we're unbiased, and I said, to eighty seven to zero,

937
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 5: It's not forty four to forty three. It's eighty seven

938
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 5: to zero. But there's still I mean, it was ridiculous.

939
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 5: So it'd been nice to have a recision package on that.

940
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 5: Just let's just get rid of the MPR start there

941
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 5: and then just keep building. But I think the White

942
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 5: House is going to put it together in a bigger package.

943
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 5: They send it to us and then we have.

944
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 2: A vote and he sends someone that might might be

945
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 2: just roughly time wise.

946
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 5: I am hoping sooner round. I mean, we keep urging

947
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 5: the White House to do it. I know some of

948
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 5: my colleagues have talked to Russ vote and O and B,

949
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 5: so we wanted as soon as possible. I don't know

950
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 5: exactly when that's in, but they tell they keep tell

951
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,280
Speaker 5: us they're working on it, putting it together.

952
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 2: Conxon Jim Jordan, Oh, wait one, because you know Clay

953
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 2: would want me to ask thank you this who's going

00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,759

Speaker 5: watched them play and uh, you know, I was kind

963
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,120

Speaker 2: It is a new month everybody and a lot going on, right,

971
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 2: But how much is your day to day as healthy

972
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 2: as it could be? Think about that for a second.

973
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 2: I mean, do you have the energy you need? Are

974
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 2: are you feel like you have? You're getting everything done?

975
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 2: You don't need napps, You're not all that tired. I've

976
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 2: gone through it myself where I need napps and I

977
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 2: feel like my energies.

978
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: That are low.

979
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: And yeah, of course diet, exercise, that's the foundation. But

980
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 2: if you really want to have all the tools at

981
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 2: your disposal, proper supplementation is necessary. And I take Chalk,

Speaker 10: so much for.

1012
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 1: Having me on a bunch of issues.

1013
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 2: Wanted to get your your latest analysis on judiciary hearings,

1014
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 2: drug seizure of the border.

1015
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: We're going to get into that momentarily.

1016
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 2: But first, I know that Tennessee, your home state, has

1017
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 2: been hit with some really scary storms and there's been

1018
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 2: some loss of life. What can you tell us about

1019
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 2: these tornadoes and the and the efforts to get help

1020
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 2: to those need it.

1021
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 10: Yes, we know that they have touched down in a

1022
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:09,240
Speaker 10: couple of counties. Hartiman County and McNairy County. The town

1023
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 10: of Selmer has been the hardest hit. They have lost

1024
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 10: six lives. And I know our governor and the Tennessee

1025
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 10: Emergency Management my team, they've all been out this morning

1026
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 10: and they're working hard to help people recover and to

1027
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 10: do a damage assessment. But McNairy County, Tennessee, really caught

1028
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 10: the brunt of it last night, and we certainly are

1029
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,399
Speaker 10: praying for those individuals. And then we've got a lot

1030
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 10: of flooding that is taking place in the middle Tennessee

1031
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 10: area and continuing to watch that. It should be raining

1032
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 10: for another eight hours or so and then we'll be

1033
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 10: able to do a better damage assessment.

1034
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 2: Is there a need Center for coordination with the Trump

1035
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 2: administration the federal government on some of the efforts to

1036
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 2: get help, or is the State of Tennessee mostly handling.

1037
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 10: Well, we did the disaster declaration last night during the night,

1038
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 10: and President Trump went ahead and approved that. So those

1039
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 10: resources are being surged into the area now, and we're

1040
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 10: really grateful to the President for taking such swift action

1041
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 10: on that and coordinating with our state.

1042
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 2: All right, Center, Well, thoughts and prayers go to everybody

1043
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 2: in your state affected by this and we know that

1044
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 2: you and President Trump and also Tennessee Emergency services are

1045
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 2: on it. I had a friend who just moved to

1046
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 2: Nashville and was surprised that at how these tornadoes rolled in,

1047
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 2: and it really rattled a lot of people. So anyway,

1048
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 2: aught and prayers go to them, and we'll be thinking

1049
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 2: about the folks at Tennessee. Tell us about this judiciary

1050
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: hearing on universal injunctions. This seems to be clearly the

1051
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 2: universal injunctions one of the primary obstruction tools that have

1052
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 2: been used against the Trump agenda so far. What came

1053
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 2: out of these hearings and what do you think comes

1054
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 2: next on this issue.

1055
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 10: One of the things that really was so apparent on

1056
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 10: this is how the Democrats have not been able to

1057
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 10: get what they want. It's a ballot box, so they've

1058
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 10: not been able to get what they want legislatively, and

1059
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 10: they really were sent a message on November fifth if

1060
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 10: they did not like so now they have turned to

1061
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 10: the judiciary and time and again, as we heard from

1062
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 10: the witnesses, there is absolutely no constitutional or statutorial authority

1063
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 10: for a district judge to issue a nationwide injunction, and

1064
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 10: a district judge is constrained by the case in front

1065
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 10: of him and the district in which he is seated

1066
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 10: and he cannot go outside of that. And so it

1067
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 10: just show Rode showed how the Democrats are trying to

1068
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 10: politicize the court this time to get their way, which

1069
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:12,879
Speaker 10: is to stop President Trump's agenda. And in the month

1070
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 10: of February, these activist judges issued fifteen universal injunctions against Trump,

1071
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 10: and during Biden's entire administration four years, there were only

1072
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 10: fourteen against Biden in total.

1073
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 2: Now, what do you think should happen or what are

1074
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 2: you hoping will happen next?

1075
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: On this?

1076
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court, I would assume, has to has to

1077
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 2: weigh in. So it feels like for a lot of us,

1078
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 2: are we just in a weight and see mode for

1079
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 2: there to be some sanity restored to this process. What

1080
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 2: happens next, Well.

1081
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 10: We do have legislation and having the bill that would

1082
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 10: clarify that the judge cannot go outside of his district

1083
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 10: to end in making a ruling that helps to elevate

1084
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 10: this issue. Because Justice Roberts, Chief Justice Roberts is going

1085
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,240
Speaker 10: to have to weigh in on this, and the Supreme

1086
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 10: Court is going to have to weigh in on this issue,

1087
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 10: but we think it is a valid point and something

1088
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 10: that is necessary to point out that this authority does

1089
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 10: not exist with these federal district judges. And again it

1090
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 10: points out the importance of having good constitutional jurists on

1091
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 10: the bench.

1092
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 2: Also yesterday, Senator, there was a hearing Senate hearing with

1093
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 2: the CEO, the current CEO of Boeing. You know, a

1094
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 2: lot of people are much more attuned to air safety

1095
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 2: than they have been in a while, giving some of

1096
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 2: the very unfortunate situations, both including some fatal accidents but

1097
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 2: also some near misses that have been happening. I know

1098
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 2: this specifically was focused on seven thirty seven Max nine

1099
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 2: jet incident and some other very high profile aviation aviation issues.

1100
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 2: But what happened to Boeing? I mean, that's I think

1101
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 2: a lot of people just curious. This used to be

1102
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 2: considered a great American company with incredible safety procedures, incredibly innovative,

1103
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 2: and there's been a loss of confidence in Boeing as

1104
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 2: a corporation. What did the CEO tell you? What do

1105
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 2: people need to know about how this company and just

1106
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 2: airline safety in general is getting the focus that it

1107
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 2: needs well and.

1108
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 10: On airline safety. We have all been very concerned about

1109
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 10: that and are pushing the FAA to make certain that

1110
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 10: they are hiring people that are qualified to be air

1111
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 10: traffic controllers. And last year because of DEI requirements, they

1112
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 10: had a thousand people that were qualified, but they did

1113
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 10: not take them because they didn't meet certain DEI requirements.

1114
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 10: Now on Boeing, I think that many of us have

1115
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 10: just been disappointed with how they've taken their eye off

1116
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 10: the ball, seemingly when it comes to safety. And I

1117
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 10: talked to with the CEO yesterday in my time of

1118
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 10: questioning about how their culture at the company just seemed

1119
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 10: to have eroded and there was not that trust among

1120
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 10: the employees and the leadership. And then also the lack

1121
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 10: of protection that was given to whistleblowers because whistle blowers

1122
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 10: had been fired, they had been isolated, and what we need.

1123
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 10: If they had been heeding what these whistleblowers were saying,

1124
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 10: maybe that would have helped with not having this diminished

1125
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 10: work culture, and maybe they would not have taken their

1126
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 10: eye off the safety provisions that they should be meeting

1127
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 10: every single day as a guarantee to the flying public.

1128
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 2: We're speaking the Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Senator

1129
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: the one of the areas where the Trump administration right

1130
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 2: out of the gate has shown just incredible results is

1131
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 2: the reduction in illegal entries.

1132
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: In the United States.

1133
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 2: There's also been a substantial reduction in the illegal importation

1134
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 2: of drugs like fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, all the rest of it.

1135
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: But you have raised, you and along with your colleague

1136
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:44,439
Speaker 2: Senator Ted Cruz, have raised that there was an effort

1137
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 2: that previously existed to add to the current, you know,

1138
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 2: the current efforts to stop the drugs from flowing into

1139
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 2: the country that involve interdiction at at transit hubs, and

1140
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 2: that Biden, the Biden administration turned this off. Can you

1141
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 2: tell us about what this program was and what would

1142
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 2: it take to get it going again.

1143
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 10: Yes, and this was a program that was suspended. It

1144
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 10: was a DEA program and it is called consensual encounters,

1145
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 10: and it allowed DEA agents to inspect and conduct interdiction

1146
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 10: efforts in transit hubs. And we're trying to restore that. Now.

1147
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 10: Let me just give you the Nashville Airport as an example.

1148
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 10: If you take the period of time from twenty twenty

1149
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 10: two to twenty four, then they apprehended thirty three kilgrams

1150
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 10: of fentanyl pills, sixteen kilograms of fentanyl powder, and over

1151
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 10: fifteen hundred kilograms of marijuana as they were conducting these interdictions,

1152
00:59:53,320 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 10: and the DOJ's Inspector General had conclude that the Biden

1153
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 10: administration DEA was not following these policies that are put

1154
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 10: in place, and we should be using every federal agency

1155
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 10: and everything that we have in order to conduct these

1156
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 10: searches and to keep these drugs from coming into the country.

1157
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 2: Is there anything else that you would like to see

1158
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 2: on the congressional specifically Senate side, a congressional side to

1159
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 2: help with border related efforts. Is there anything else that

1160
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 2: as a member of Congress you could help get done,

1161
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 2: because it's great what Trump has done so far, but

1162
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 2: it feels like legislation could always help, or maybe in

1163
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 2: this case it could help.

1164
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 10: Well, we do need legislation because we need to codify

1165
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 10: the actions of the president and we need to make

1166
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 10: certain that we go back to building the wall so

1167
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 10: that we deter that entry on the southern border, and

1168
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 10: we have to turn our attention to the northern border

1169
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 10: with Canada. When you look at the amount of fintannol

1170
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 10: that was apprehended not by Canadian manted police, but by

1171
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 10: the US Border Patrol up there on that northern border.

1172
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 10: It was enough to kill nearly fifty million people. And

1173
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 10: we know that the drug traffickers are now changing their

1174
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 10: route and they're going up to the Canadian border and

1175
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 10: then coming back down into the US. So it is

1176
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 10: imperative that we look at what is going to happen

1177
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 10: there with securing that border, and I think that you

1178
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 10: will see us push more for these programs that will

1179
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 10: help us to secure this country. And bear in mind

1180
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 10: when we secure the border and you curb illegal entry,

1181
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 10: and thank goodness, we are now at the lowest levels

1182
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 10: it's been in two decades. Them Border Patrol has the

1183
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 10: opportunity to do more work at the ports of entry

1184
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 10: and to stop the transit of some of these drugs

1185
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 10: that have been making their way into the country.

1186
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 2: Senator Blackburn, always appreciate you making time for us here

1187
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 2: on Clay and Buck.

1188
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:23,200

01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 10: Absolutely, thank you. Bania.

1190
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,480
