1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Third hour of Clay Buck gets going right now with 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:09,319 Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin joining us. Senator appreciate you 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: as always, Sarah, thanks. 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 2: For calling in well, Buck, I hope you're doing well. 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, man, things are great here. Let's let's get right 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: to it. This revelation that came out, it was a 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: combination of reporting from Miranda Devine, Tucker Carlson on Thomas Crooks, 8 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: the would be assassin of Donald Trump, that really the 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: first of two would be assassins, but the one who 10 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: actually got shots off and managed to shoot the president 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: in the ear. There seems to be information that maybe 12 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: the FBI had but didn't publicly release or first let 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: me ask you about that. What do you make of 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: this that there were some accounts online that we weren't 15 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: told about that indicated at least at some level, Thomas 16 00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: Crooks had become a using trans pronouns all this kind 17 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: of stuff. What do you make of this? Did the 18 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: FBI probably know and just not talk about it, or 19 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: did they miss it or what? 20 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: Well, again, I've got a great deal of sympathy for 21 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 2: cast Hotel, Dan Bongino, Daan Bondi going to these agencies 22 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: trying to root out the deep state actors that may 23 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 2: are still burrowed in unable to really hire the kind 24 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 2: of staff they need because of the lawfare against good 25 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: people like judge troops in Wisconsin and others, they're kind 26 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 2: of reluctant to join the Trump administration during their career 27 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 2: be destroyed. So I've got I want to start there. 28 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: I've got a great deal of sympthy these guys come 29 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: into office, they've got enormous messes they're trying to clean up, 30 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: actually turn these agencies into what they're meant to be 31 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: crime fighting units for the standpoint of the FBI. But 32 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: at the same time, I'll say I've been frustrating. We 33 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: tried to undertake a byparisan investigation and then we did 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: some work but buying large What we found out about 35 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: Butler was pretty well gleaned by my investory staff in 36 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: the first week, primarily talking to local law officials. I 37 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: issued what I considered a friendly subpoena too the FBI 38 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: to help prompt more documents, more information coming forward. A 39 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: liaison of the FBI actually thanked this for the subpoena, 40 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: But the fact matters, we really have not gotten much. 41 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: So We've had to go out and contact phone carriers 42 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 2: and social media companies. We're starting to get information. We're 43 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: piecing things together. You know, there are things that are 44 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: interesting that we need to kind a complete the investigation 45 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: before we start publishing. But no, there's an awful lot 46 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: unknown about Thomas Crooks that from my standpoint, we should 47 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 2: have known quite some time ago. 48 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: Just so I'm clear on this, Senator, there's an awful 49 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: lot that the public should know about that you think 50 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: the FBI has and has not made public, or there's 51 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: more that the FBI maybe didn't Fine. 52 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 3: It's just probably both both. 53 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, yeah, you. 54 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 2: Know again we yeah, I mean, I'm frustrated. Fuck, there's 55 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: no doubt about it. But again, I don't want to 56 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: be throwing past Pelo Dan Bonji under the bus, because yeah, we. 57 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: Just so you know, Senator, we don't do that. You know, 58 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: we know Cash and uh and and Dan here. They're 59 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: friends of ours, I am from before they took these jobs. 60 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: They took these jobs because they want to help and 61 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: they want to reform and they you know, and we 62 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: get a lot of heat for standing up for them 63 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: here because some people have been very frustrated with even 64 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: a lot of Trump voters have been frustrated with a 65 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: transparency issue. But I try to remind everybody these are enormous, unwieldy, 66 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: bureaucratic institutions that were really left rot from the inside 67 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: under previous administrations. There's a lot of work to be done. 68 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: There really is, So we're pursuing this. I'm pretty well 69 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 2: undertaking the investigation now from Santa stan Point just through 70 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: my firm, Subcoming Investment Gation kind of walked away from 71 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: the BI parison because it just slowed us way down. 72 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 2: But again, all I can say is that there's more 73 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: information that will eventually come out and some that we 74 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 2: have not yet discovered. So we're still doing investigation. 75 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: Now on the transparency issue. Obviously, you were a yes 76 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: vote for releasing the Epstein files because the Senate was 77 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: unanimous in this right one member of the House. Everyone 78 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: else voted for it. One member of the House is look, 79 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: I'm his concern was that he thinks that there are 80 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: people that will be tainted who didn't do anything wrong, 81 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: but their name is just in some Okay, so that 82 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: was his, but everybody else voted to release this thing. 83 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: Can you just tell us what your sense is of 84 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: where the president has been on this one. I know 85 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: you talked to President Trump. He is now in favor 86 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: of it, But people keep asking to say, well, why 87 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: is he in favor of it now? Why has there 88 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: been this delay? And how do you see the release 89 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: of the Epstein files from the beginning of this administration 90 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: to president in terms of what's going on here, like 91 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: why has it been so stop? Start? 92 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: Ker really did a pretty good job laying out his 93 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 2: concerns about, you know, information getting out in the public 94 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: domain that really would be harmful to victims, and is 95 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 2: that could be adequately protected and whatever gets released this 96 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: time we're concerns. I think President Trump as I would 97 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 2: have similar concerns going is this evidence of these documents untainted? 98 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 2: You know they're in the Biden in the midst of 99 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 2: the Bide administration, Who were I mean bad administration doing 100 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: everything they could destroy Donald Trump during their four years. 101 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: If there's something damnsey to Trump, you would think that 102 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: would have already been released. So I also take the 103 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 2: president's word, I mean, he just he doesn't we have 104 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: serious problems facing the station. There are a lot of 105 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: things he's addressing. Do we really need this distraction. Having 106 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 2: said all that, I'm as curious as every other American 107 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 2: about what happened bringing people to justice who are pedophiles 108 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: that you know, engage this kind of abuse. So again 109 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: I'm as curious as anybody. We didn't take a vote, 110 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: by the way, we just passed this by unanimous consents, 111 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 2: I think before the bill even got over here. So yeah, 112 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: the Senate didn't want to take much time on this. 113 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 2: That was a fight in the House. People who fought 114 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: for disclosure won, and now we'll see what we'll get. 115 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a rare it's a rare moment where things 116 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: just fly through and bipartis in fashion in the Congress. 117 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: So now we're once the President signs this and everyone 118 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: believes it's going to get signed imminently, thirty days for 119 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: the release. Is that how this goes? 120 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 2: That's right here. But yeah, they're still probably need to 121 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: do a review and there will be some material with 122 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: help and they in the while, they've got I think 123 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 2: four or five very specific reasons things that can be withheld. 124 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 2: But you know, really this reflects with the public wanted 125 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 2: to see this, and so as elected officials, when you 126 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: when you for a year that's the number one thing 127 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: that people are calling into your office, is you know, 128 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: vote to release the Epstein files. You know, in the end, 129 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: representive government actually works. 130 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you have on the on the agenda here? 131 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: I know the Senate goes into recess. What next week 132 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: sometime for Thanksgiving? What are you hoping can get done 133 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: before the end of this year? Is there anything? Are 134 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: you going to try to get some judges through? How's 135 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: that going? What? What are you looking to get the 136 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: Senate to finally push over the finish line here before 137 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: we all head out for the holidays. 138 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the Senate's always doing in nominations now that 139 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: we had to change rules because the obnoxious obstruction of 140 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: Democrats will probably clear another seventy to one hundred nominations 141 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: of various types. We are working of healthcare, by the way, 142 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: we always have. It's just going to here. Republics have 143 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: no plans, you know, we have all kinds of plans. 144 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: It's how do we get it passed. Democrats are in 145 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: a complete state denial of the miserable failure that Obamacare 146 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: has been. The reason people's premiums are increasing is because 147 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: of the fault lawed design of Obamacare. So we are 148 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: working very diligently on that, you know which Scott is 149 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: probably involved in this, probably as knowledgeable an individual on 150 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: healthcare in America, if not the world. So we've got 151 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: some good people here. I've bought health care for thirty years. 152 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: I'm pretty knowledgeable about as well. So we're going to 153 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: do this based on, you know, repairing the damage done 154 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: by Obamacare properly defined the problem coming up with you know, 155 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: what are the principles and prusident Trump tweeted the main 156 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 2: principles Rather than spend hundreds of or spent hundreds of 157 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 2: millions of dollars into these insurance companies, you know, I 158 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 2: help stock price increase seven percent since Obamacare, the slowest 159 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: percent increase in stock prices four or four teen percent. 160 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 2: So instead of filling the conference of insurance companies, why 161 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: don't we give that money to the American people turn 162 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: them in into consumers of health insurance and health care 163 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: with things like HSA accounts. So no Republicans have solutions 164 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: is how can we overcome you know, the impediment that 165 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: the structure of Obamacare is with the current filibuster, which, 166 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 2: by the way, I've very been very public reluctantly, but 167 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: I completely agree with Preston Trump. It's time to end 168 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: the filibuster. The Democrats will do it. We will look 169 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: like schmucks in twenty twenty eight if they have all 170 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: the lovers of power and they do this and then 171 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: do it to maintain their power, as opposed to We're 172 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 2: going to do it to secure our elections, for the 173 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 2: secure border, hopefully repair the damage done by a biomacare, 174 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: transition to a system that works, you know, have a 175 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: prosperous economy, make things more affordable. You know, we would 176 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: use ending the filibuster for the benef of the American people, 177 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 2: not our own personal power. 178 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: Being an Senator Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin and Senator, I 179 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: want to actually circle back if I can, to the 180 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: oversight of the FBI for a moment here, because I 181 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: know you're very up to speed on the Arctic frost situation. Right. 182 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: That was the FBI investigation run under the Biden administration 183 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: about January sixth and the twenty twenty election. It looks 184 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: like there were abuses there. What can you tell us 185 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: about what we're learning about Arctic frost and what's going 186 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: to come next? 187 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: Well, I think what has been revealed recently this wasn't 188 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: just a mere fishing expedition. This was a massive partisan 189 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: dragnet really meant to cripple the Republican Party. Obviously Trump 190 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: was the main target. Yeah, we got you know, some 191 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 2: members of Congress got some of our form records scooped up. 192 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: But what's maybe the most outrageous is just ordinary citizens. 193 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: You know, all these affiliated Republican groups. But for example, 194 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: in Wisconsin, thirty eight Wisconsinights, just god fearing, country loving 195 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 2: law enforces. Forty people were on the enemy's lists. So 196 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 2: they are literally trying to destroy the person of unbelievable 197 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 2: terry Judge Troopus, who just represented President Trump for two 198 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: months after the election. There were serious problems in Wisconsin. 199 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: They're criminalizing that behavior. They're attempting to That's what all 200 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 2: Artie Truss is all about. Criminalizing what basically JFK did 201 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 2: in Hawaii, at least alternate electors. It's just shameful. And 202 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 2: I met with the Jarny General Pam Bondi and Deputy 203 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 2: Tourney General Todd Blanche this week and they are completely 204 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 2: on board with exposure. And one of the things I 205 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 2: point out is get us the communication records between Biden 206 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: officials and Wisconsin officials on for example, Judge troopis, you know, 207 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: let's see the coordination between the bid administration of these 208 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 2: outside groups. You know, the Mary McCord's, the market alliances, 209 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 2: you know, all these legal groups that the left has 210 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: our engagement lawfare across the board. It got again not 211 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 2: just against President Trump, but ordinary Americans. People just have 212 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 2: to support through Publican Party and President Trump. They're trying 213 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: to destroy all these people. 214 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: Senator Johnson, one more for you before we let you go. 215 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,599 Speaker 1: What is your favorite part of a traditional and I 216 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: don't know how you guys do it up in Wisconsin, 217 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: but a traditional American Thanksgiving feast? Your favorite dish? 218 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: I mean, it's the turkey, it's the dressing, it's the gravy, 219 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: it's the mass potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. That is 220 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 2: my Thanksgiving dinner. I got to have it all in 221 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: the right portions. I start and portion it out and 222 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: I end with the exact portions for that final bite. 223 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: We just literally had Thanksgiving lunch. John Bosemen provided it, 224 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 2: so I had a pre Thanksgiving dinner.

I didn't hear any of 275 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 6: these Democrats that were saying to ignore orders that were 276 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 6: on law pump.

Or call eight four four 343 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: A two four safe. All right. So Caroline Levitt, the 344 00:18:53,600 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary, has been laying down on various 345 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: journals leftists, libs reporters, and she's covered a range of topics. 346 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: I want to get into some of them right now. 347 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: This was interesting. I knew this was coming, and we 348 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: maybe at some point we'll be able to have Elenna 349 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: mcmahn on. She's the Department of Ed secretary. We've reached 350 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: out a little busy see who make that happen. But 351 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: looks like the Department of Education could be going bye bye, 352 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: or at least parts of it. Play Levitt on Cut 353 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: twenty seven. 354 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 8: President Trump took a significant step towards delivering on a 355 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 8: core campaign promise to finally close the Department of Education 356 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 8: to shrink the bloated federal bureaucracy. The Department of Education 357 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 8: just entered into new interagency agreements with four agencies, the 358 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 8: Departments of Labor, Interior, Health and Human Services, and State. 359 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 8: These agencies will now ensure the delivery of legally required 360 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 8: programs while also refocusing them to better serve students. This 361 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 8: common sense action brings the Trump administration much closer to 362 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 8: finally returning education where it belongs at the state and 363 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 8: local level, not in Washington, DC. The democrats reckless forty 364 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 8: three day government shutdown did manage to do one valuable thing. 365 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 8: It proved that America does not need a federal Department 366 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 8: of Education. 367 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: So they are finding a way within the bureaucratic framework 368 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: that currently exists to kind of dismantle the Department of Education. 369 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: I think that is the plan here, and that's a 370 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: good thing. That's a good thing. There does not need 371 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: to be. There should not be a federal Department of Education. 372 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: There's no reason for this. So several of its main offices, 373 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: as she laid out here, are going to be moved 374 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: into other places Labor Interior, so this won't affect the 375 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: money that Congress gives eight schools and colleges. So, but 376 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: why do we need a huge bureaucratic department as a 377 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: pass through for money that goes to state education programs. 378 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: You start to thinking about this, you go, hold on 379 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: a second. We have a whole agency in the Department 380 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: of Education, whole department that seems to exist to be 381 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: the pass through, the middleman for federal funds that go 382 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: into Why don't we just, if we're going to give 383 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: federal money to education, give money to states that are 384 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: actually educating kids and running colleges and universities. So I 385 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: think I'm all in favor of this. Education Secretary Elenna 386 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: McMahon has started a public campaign for the end of 387 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: her department. Yes, yes, that's what you like to see 388 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: the person running it saying this should not even be 389 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: a job, this should go away. But there's been you 390 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: know that the Department Education has really just been a 391 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: progressive policy arm under the guise of education. But it's 392 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: a part of really a lib deep state operation for 393 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: a long time. Because Department of Ed is so left wing, 394 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter what administration is in charge, Republican 395 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: or Democrat. The Department of Ed just pushes for policies 396 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: that are left wing because that's who works there. It's 397 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: a bit like the department or the Environmental Protection Agency 398 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: EPA is full of left wing climate change loans. And 399 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter if you have a Republican administration. 400 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: You have idealogues in an agency who are pushing an 401 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: agenda and doing so against the wishes of the Republican 402 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: in the White House. So you got to clean things up. 403 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: You got to deal with the mess. Yeah, I think 404 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: this is great. And you ask people what is the 405 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: it's always so fun too. I go, okay, I go 406 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: into groc as, you know, I like rock a lot. 407 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: What does the department a Department of Education do And 408 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: let's just see what it says and I'll read. 409 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 6: This to you. 410 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: A cabinet level federal agency created a nineteen eighty Its 411 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: main job is to oversee and support education, but it 412 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: does not run public schools. It distributes federal funding, enforces 413 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: federal education laws, and collects research and administer student financial aid. 414 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: So it's a pass through for a lot of federal dollars. 415 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: And it also in terms of the civil rights stuff 416 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: with education, that's just pure you know, DEI obsessed left 417 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: wing policy stuff. There's no actual need for any no 418 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: actual need for any of this. And think about this, 419 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: How serious could the Department of Education be about civil 420 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: rights when they have been unwilling to stop the madness 421 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: of the gender identity disorder stuff going on in all 422 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: these schools where they have men pretend to be women. 423 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: How can you say you're enforcing Title nine when a 424 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: guy can say he's a girl and play on women's sports. 425 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: So the Department Education gotta go hope it goes. They're 426 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: moving in that direction. Democrats are going to fight because 427 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats they get to have policy through through agencies 428 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: and departments, even when they lose elections. And that's one 429 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: of the incredibly important revelations of the Trump era is 430 00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: that if you don't actually deal with this, even when 431 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: we win elections as Republicans, you end up still with 432 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: a lot of Democrat administration or Democrat policy pushed from 433 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: these places. Now. She also spoke Caroline Levitt also spoke 434 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: about Zoran Mamdadi meeting with Trump tomorrow. This is cut 435 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: twenty eight. Let's hear it. 436 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 8: It speaks volumes that tomorrow we have a communist coming 437 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 8: to the White House because that's who the Democrat Party 438 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 8: elected as the mayor of the largest city in the country. 439 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 8: I think it's very telling, But I also think it 440 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 8: speaks to the fact that President Trump is willing to 441 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 8: meet with anyone and talk to anyone and to try 442 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 8: to do what's right on behalf of the American people, 443 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,719 Speaker 8: whether they live in blue states or red states, or 444 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 8: blue cities in a city that's becoming much more left 445 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 8: than I think this president ever anticipated in his many 446 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 8: years of living in New York himself. 447 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: You know why they are so touchy about the whole 448 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: communist thing because we all know that there's some truth 449 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: to it. If it were absurd, if it weren't really 450 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: something that bothered them, then they wouldn't always so No, 451 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: it's a democratic socialist. He's a democratic socialist. You know, 452 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: there was the American I guess it still exists, but 453 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: it's kind of a joke now. But the American Communist 454 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: Party grew and in the nineteen forties, I think it 455 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: was basically about one hundred thousand people. You know what happened, 456 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: They all became Democrats. You know what happened to the 457 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: communist movement in America got folded into the Democrat Party. 458 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: That's a whole other thing. That's a whole other thing. 459 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: And there are some great books on this stuff you 460 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: can read. Why do they hate Nixon so much? They 461 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: really hate Nixon so much because he was a staunch 462 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: anti communist and he worked to expose that there were 463 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats who were willing to play foot 464 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: see with communists back in the day. But I digress 465 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: on that one. I digress. Look, I think Trump will 466 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: be as I said before, he will be himself. He'll 467 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: be charming and funny to Mom, Donnie. He'll probably be 468 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: some great lines. Uh. And what was the thing? What 469 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: did Trump say to the And I don't even know 470 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: who he said it to, so I but he was 471 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: on Air Force one and some reporter interrupted them and 472 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: he said, quiet piggy. And the thing about this is 473 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: it's just the Democrats get they get so upset about it. 474 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: They're gonna get so angry about it, and it just 475 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: encourages them to do more stuff like that. Like they're 476 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: not going to make Trump stop being Trump. They can try, 477 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: they can try to shame his supporters. It's not gonna work. Yeah, 478 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: I never see that. Can you guys pull that ever? 479 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't know I've ever it's heard it? Do we 480 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:50,719 Speaker 1: have it? Trump saying, quiet, Piggy, I hope it's not a. 481 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: I I don't think it was A. I'm so and 482 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: now I have to worry about any clip that I see. 483 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: This is the world we're in, my friends, there's stuff 484 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: that it can look very real. They have programs now 485 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: that can make Trump look like he said things close 486 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: to what he said but changed the words a little bit. 487 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: This is the world that we are in right now. 488 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: So that's why I'm always like, oh, gosh, I hope 489 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: that's not AI. But I'm pretty sure he's I'm pretty 490 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: sure he said this one, just like I was sure 491 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: that he's meaning Mom Donni tomorrow and he is. The 492 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: Mamdanni disaster in New York I think is inevitable. I 493 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: hope it's not for New York's sake and for my 494 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: family that are there. But I think the Mam Donnie 495 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: situation is likely to get really get really bad, really bad. 496 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: We'll see. Oh and Caroline Levitt also gone into an 497 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: exchange with a reporter about that military PSA. Can we 498 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: is it really even a PSA? It's just kind of 499 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: an underhanded attack. But here she's just cut twenty nine. 500 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 4: Listen to it, as the President and the Vice President 501 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 4: for that matter, had accused the other side of it 502 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 4: encouraging political violence. Isn't that exactly what the President is 503 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 4: doing when he says that members of Congress should be killed? 504 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 8: Why aren't you talking about what these members of Congress 505 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 8: are doing to encourage it? In cite violence, they are 506 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 8: literally saying to one point three million active duty service 507 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 8: members not to defy the chain of command, not to 508 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 8: follow lawful orders, every single illegal order, which they are. 509 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 8: But they're suggesting, they're suggesting, Nancy, that the President has 510 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 8: given illegal orders, which he has not. Every single order 511 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 8: that is given to this United States Military by this 512 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 8: Commander in Chief and through this command chain of command, 513 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 8: through the Secretary. 514 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: Of War is lawful. 515 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 8: And the courts have proven that this administration has an 516 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 8: unparalleled record at the Supreme Court because we are following 517 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 8: the laws. We don't defy court orders. We do things 518 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 8: by the books. And to suggest and encourage that active 519 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 8: duty service members defy the chain of command is a 520 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 8: very dangerous thing for sitting members of Congress to do. 521 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 8: And they should be held accountable, and that's what the 522 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 8: president wants to see. 523 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: She's not messing around. And I think it just based 524 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: on the number of you who are veterans yourselves or 525 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: even active duty, but veterans who have written in very 526 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: unhappy with this. This PSA. It's meant to be. It's 527 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: meant to undermine the commander in chief. Let's just be honest. 528 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: It's meant to undermine the commander in chief. That is 529 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: what they are doing. And it just goes with everything else. 530 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: They have to tell stories fables to themselves to justify 531 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: their Trump derangement. And that's yet another another example of it. 532 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: All Right, Christmas is five weeks is that right? Five 533 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: weeks from today? My gosh.
