Today the penny is being made extinct 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: by Donald Trump by ordering the end of the penny 14 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: production because well, it costs a lot more than a 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: penny to make it. 16 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, but by four times, I believe, so, yeah, you know, 17 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: And maybe this isn't for good. Maybe they just find 18 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: a cheaper way of producing it and then we can 19 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: have pennies again. That's right, make America have pennies again. 20 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: But we're just everything is getting a fresh look, and 21 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: I think that's something that Washington hasn't had in a 22 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: long time. Now, in a couple of minutes from now, 23 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: we may be going live to an event that President 24 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: Trump is doing where he's signing some executive order some 25 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: new stuff today. So we want to squeeze in a 26 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: couple guests as quickly as we can. And we're very 27 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: lucky to be joined today from the great state of Minnesota. 28 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: Congress and Pete Stopper, who's on the forefront of a 29 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: lot of important stuff. Congresson, good to have you on 30 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: the show. 31 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: It's great to be back with you. Appreciate it. 32 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, we love having you on. I want to start 33 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: with something you did in your homestate. You took your 34 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: Congressional oversight authority and you went to Governor Waltz, former 35 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: vice presidential nominee in the last thing, and said, I 36 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: want to learn about all the fraud going on in 37 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: our state with federal tax dollars. That must have shook 38 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: the rafters up in Minnesota. 39 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 4: No, yeah, you know, John, the state of Minnesota under 40 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 4: Governor Walls is lack of leadership. 41 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: We had the biggest COVID fraud. It's two hundred and fifty. 42 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 4: Million dollars and growing and Now we just heard that 43 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 4: there's sixty two open investigations into federal childcare fraud in Minnesota. 44 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 4: And this is all under Governor Wallas's watch. And I mean, 45 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 4: he was obviously soundly rejected last November. And these are 46 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 4: some of the reasons that people are disgusted with the 47 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 4: way the governor is running the state of Minnesota. It's 48 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 4: embarrassing to be put out in front of the nations 49 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 4: as a you know, the fraudulent spending within Minnesota without 50 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 4: any oversight. 51 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 5: And we wrote that letter. 52 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 4: All the federal Republican legislators in Minnesota signed on. 53 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: We wrote that letter. 54 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 4: We're requesting information on how these how these fraudulent payments 55 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 4: went out. 56 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 3: How did you not catch this? 57 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 4: And again, it's embarrassing, it's a lack of leadership, and 58 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 4: we're going. 59 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 3: To get down to the bottom of it. 60 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 4: This is American taxpayer money and it's just unacceptable the 61 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 4: way it's being used fraudulently. 62 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, that is unacceptable. 63 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: Well, and sir, over the course of your life as 64 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: a public figure, you have been such a great steward 65 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: of taxpayer money. And I want to ask you, because 66 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: waste and fraud happens at every level, including the federal government. 67 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 2: You've got DOGE with a number of agencies and organizations 68 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: in the crosshairs. Where do you think they will go next? 69 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 4: Well, I think let's just go back to talk about 70 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 4: the us AID. And now they're at the Treasury. The 71 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 4: President Trump ran on making government more efficient and reducing 72 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 4: and stopping the waste, fraud, abuse, and errors, and. 73 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: The concept of DOGE came up during the campaign and he. 74 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 4: Was overwhelming overwhelmingly elected on that and now he's. 75 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: Keeping this promise by looking at. 76 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 4: The spending of the American taxpayer, what it's going for, 77 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 4: and my colleagues on the other side of the alley's 78 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 4: seeing it. They're just they're trying to stop this fraudulent 79 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 4: spending that we're finding in all areas of the government. 80 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 4: You know, he's in the Treasury today. He said he's 81 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 4: going to be in the Department of Education, the Department 82 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 4: of Defense very soon. We want to make sure that 83 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 4: we maximize the American taxpayer's money and that it's used 84 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 4: to benefit the United States of America and in particular 85 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 4: our interests across the world. 86 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 3: And you all seen and we've all. 87 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 4: Seen the ridiculous hundreds of millions of dollars that have 88 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 4: been spent unwisely on things across this not only our country, 89 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,239 Speaker 4: but the world. And President Trump is going to stop 90 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 4: it with the help of Elon Musk and Dooge and 91 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 4: those other workers. 92 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, sir, he's found that the president has found unexpected roadblock. 93 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: Judge is trying to stop him from just using his 94 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: authority as president to do what the people elected him 95 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: to do. Just a few minutes ago, Justin New's just 96 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: moved this news alert. The Trump administration has appealed those 97 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: judges ruling blocking them from trying to do their doage 98 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: review to an appellate court. But the idea that judges 99 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: would get in the way of doing something as common 100 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 1: sense as protecting the American taxpayer has some people scratching 101 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: their head. 102 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 4: I think, John, it has the American people scratching their head. 103 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 4: We want an effective, efficient government to save the wasted 104 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 4: fraud and abuse in the errors, and we have an 105 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 4: activist judge that wants to stop it. 106 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: I mean, give us a break. 107 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 4: We've got where thirty excuse me, we're thirty six trillion 108 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 4: dollars a debt again. 109 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 3: President Trump ran on reducing the debt and deficit. 110 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 4: Ran on streamlining government, ensured the American people that he 111 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 4: was going to get rid of waste fraud, abuse and. 112 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: Look into this and stop it. And that's exactly what 113 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 3: he's doing. And then you have my colleagues on the left. 114 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 4: That you know, they always try to weaponize the court, 115 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 4: and they're using the courts to stop this. You know, 116 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 4: one of your colleagues, Scott Jennings and CNN said, this 117 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 4: is an eighty twenty issue for the American people, and 118 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 4: the Democrats, my colleagues on the other side out are 119 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 4: sitting on the twenty percent. They're defending the wasteful spending 120 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 4: by this government, and it's just unconfortable. We have to 121 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 4: stop it. And I'm very very happy that we're finding 122 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 4: these things because otherwise we'd have never seen this. Had 123 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 4: Elon Musk and Doge never been implemented, we wouldn't have seen, 124 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: for example, the fifty nine million dollars that was just 125 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 4: sent to the state of New York to house illegals. 126 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 4: We would have never seen the Biden administration going in 127 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 4: the reserves for Social Security Medicare to pay for illegal immigrants. 128 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 3: And the list goes on and on. 129 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: It does sir, something as common sense as getting rid 130 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: of waste, saving the American tax money. 131 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 3: Those are things that I. 132 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 2: Think Americans across the board. Doesn't matter if they've got 133 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: D next to their name or are next to their name. 134 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 2: But when you listen to your colleagues on the other 135 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: side of the aisle, they throw around terms like corruption 136 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: and tyranny. How do they re route their messaging so 137 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: that it's more in line with what everyone thinks, which 138 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: is the government shouldn't be wasting money. 139 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 4: Well, I think that again, eighty ninety percent of American 140 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 4: people agree with what's happening. I think there's just a 141 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 4: report stating seventy percent of the people were happy with 142 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 4: the President Trump and what he's done thus far in 143 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 4: his term by making good on the promises that he 144 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 4: made to the American people. We know, we always talk 145 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 4: about waste, fraud, abuse, and all of a sudden, the 146 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 4: Democrats are putting the brakes on it. When we're finding 147 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 4: all these unnecessary payments and oftentimes grifting into their own 148 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 4: pockets or their friends or relatives pockets. 149 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,559 Speaker 3: It's unacceptable. I know that President Trump and the America people, 150 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: and the. 151 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 4: Republicans in the House and Center are not going to 152 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 4: put up with this any longer. We cannot allow the 153 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 4: waste fraud abuse to continue, and it's not going to 154 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 4: be under our watch, absolutely not. 155 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 3: We are going to stop it. 156 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 4: The American people are going to know where their money 157 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 4: is spent and invested, and it's going to be very transparent. 158 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: Like the Treasury. They want codes for why was it, 159 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: who paid it, why was it paid, what was the 160 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 3: reason for? And then that do not pay list. 161 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 4: Those seems to be real, real simple things we can incorporate, 162 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 4: not just blank checks without reasoning. Why we're sending the 163 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 4: American taxpayer money to Burma or other countries Iraq for 164 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: a sesame street show for one hundred and twenty million dollars? 165 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? We have veterans on the streets 166 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 4: of our country that don't have housing. 167 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: I mean, we can do better than that. 168 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 4: And we're going to continue to root out the waste 169 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 4: fraud and abuse, and Elon Musk and his Doage Committee 170 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 4: are going to do that, and you're going to see 171 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 4: more of it. We're going to see more in the 172 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 4: Department of Education and the Department of Defense. 173 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 6: I mean, I mean. 174 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 4: Hundreds of billions of dollars in a short period of 175 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 4: time that DOGE has been up, that they've identified wasteful 176 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 4: spending by the United States government. 177 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 6: It's extraordinary. 178 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: I bet it gets deeper and deeper as we dig 179 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: further in so iverything President Trump's doing protecting American industries. 180 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: Just a few moments ago he signed terraffs expanding the 181 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: terriff protections for all steel and aluminum across all countries. 182 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 1: Important for some of our manufacturers in this side of 183 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: the country, isn't it. 184 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 4: Well, you know, the Northeast Minnesota, the eighth Congressional district 185 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 4: where I represent, we mine the iron ore that makes 186 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 4: over eighty percent of the United States steel in our nation. 187 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 4: So mining, as I've said, it's our path, star president 188 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 4: in our future. And President Trump put up the two 189 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 4: thirty two steel tariffs on his first term because he 190 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 4: knew that the Chinese Communist Party and other adversarial relations 191 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 4: were going to attempt to dump their cheap, dirty Chinese 192 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 4: steel onto the American market and put out of business 193 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 4: the iron range in northeastern Minnesota. We were not going 194 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 4: to allow that happen. In fact, it was so successful 195 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 4: that the Biden administration kept that on. And you know, 196 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 4: when we talk about what President Trump campaigned on, you know, 197 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 4: he campaigned on permitting reform, neeper reforms so we can mine, process, 198 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 4: and manufacture those ores right here in America. And you know, 199 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 4: that's what he's pushing, and that's what I'm pushing on 200 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 4: the Natural Resources Committee. We have to make sure that 201 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 4: those critical minerals and those ores that we mine, we 202 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 4: do it soundly with the best and our metal and 203 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 4: labor standards in the world, and really appreciate and understand 204 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 4: we are so blessed to have these natural resources underneath 205 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 4: our feet. 206 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: And nobody does it better. 207 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 4: Nobody extracts it better than the United States of America, 208 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 4: whether talking about oil or gas, or critical minerals or 209 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 4: I AM and or et cetera. We do it better 210 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 4: than anybody. And mining in northeastern Minnesota, we're very proud 211 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 4: of it.

It's almost a 261 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 8: guaranteed investigation, indictment, and nobody wants to do business with 262 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 8: the Americans because of it. Nobody wants to do business. 263 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 8: They say, look, we can deal with China, they can 264 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 8: do whatever they want. We can do with Russia, we 265 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 8: can do with anybody, and we have a normal life. 266 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 8: You deal with America. The FBI gets over there, they 267 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 8: don't investigate death and murders on the street in New 268 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 8: York and Los Angeles. They go over and investigate a 269 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 8: business guy. 270 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 6: Trying to do business. 271 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 8: So it made it very, very hard from a practical 272 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 8: standpoint to make deals. They want to deal with the Americans, 273 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 8: but they don't want to be under investigation every time 274 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 8: they speak to American, every time an American makes a 275 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 8: phone call to somebody in a different country. 276 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 6: It's a disaster for this country. 277 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 8: And I guess it was a Jimmy Carter concept and 278 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 8: it sounds so good, but it's so bad. It hurts 279 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 8: the country and many, many deals are unable to be 280 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 8: made because of it. Nobody wants to do business because 281 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 8: they don't want to feel like every time they pick 282 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 8: up a phone they're going to jail. 283 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 6: So we'll sign this, and. 284 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 8: It takes courage to sign it because you only get 285 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 8: bad publicity when you sign it. It sounds so nice 286 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 8: to idol, is so lovely, but it's an absolutely horror 287 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 8: show for America. 288 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 6: So it's signing it because that's what we have to 289 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 6: do to make it good. Okay, thank you. It's an 290 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 6: important one. It's going to mean a lot more business 291 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 6: for America. Okay, thank you, sir. 292 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 7: Next, this is an executive order relating to the use 293 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 7: of paper straws. As you've consistently identified, nobody really likes 294 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 7: paper straw Number one trending. 295 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 8: Can you believe in a paper show is number one 296 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 8: trending for three days or something. 297 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 7: The environmental impact of plastic straws versus paper straws is 298 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 7: entirely unclear. This has cost both the government and private 299 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 7: industry an absolute ton of money and left consumers all 300 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 7: over the country wildly dissatisfied with their straws. So we're 301 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 7: asking aspects of the federal government, federal departments in agencies 302 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 7: to look at their existing procurement processes, and we're asking 303 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 7: your domestic policy counsel to look holistically at this issue. 304 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 7: To address it, and it really is something that affects 305 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 7: ordinary Americans in their everyday lives. 306 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 6: We're going back to plastics shows. These things don't work. 307 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 8: I've had them many times, and on occasion they break, 308 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 8: they explode if something's hot. They don't last very long, 309 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 8: like a matter of minutes, sometimes a matter of seconds. 310 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 8: It's a ridiculous situation. So we're going back to plastic shows. 311 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 8: I think it's okay. 312 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 6: And I don't think that. 313 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 8: Plastic is going to affect a shark very much as 314 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 8: they're eating, as they're munching their way through the ocean. 315 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 6: Okay, thank you, sir. 316 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 7: Next, we have a full and unconditional pardon for former 317 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 7: Governor Rob Blogoyevitch of the state of Illinois. 318 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 6: Good my honor to do it. 319 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 8: I've watched him. He was set up by a lot 320 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 8: of bad people, some of the same people that I. 321 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 6: Had to deal with. 322 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 8: He wasn't quite as successful, but he had somebody that 323 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 8: saw what was going on. I didn't know a mother 324 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 8: that I believe. He was on the Apprentice for a 325 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 8: little while, just a very nice person. He had a 326 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 8: fantastic wife. She fought like hell to get him out. 327 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 8: He was given a sentence of like eighteen years, and 328 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 8: there was a sort of a terrible injustice. They just 329 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 8: were after him. They go after a lot of people. 330 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 8: These are bad people on the other side. So I 331 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 8: think he's just a very fine person and this shouldn't 332 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 8: have happened, and this shouldn't have happened to him, and 333 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 8: let him have a normal life and let him go 334 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 8: out and do what he has to do. So I'm 335 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 8: signing this is a full part Rod Lagoevic. 336 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 5: It was a president ring him for ambassador of Servia. 337 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 6: No, but I would. I mean, he's now cleaner than 338 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 6: anybody in this room. You got a pardon, He's cleaner 339 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 6: than anybody in the room. Okay, thank you sir. 340 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 7: Next, in twenty eighteen, you imposed oddlorum duties tariffs on 341 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 7: imports of steel at a twenty five percent rate. Since 342 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 7: that time, a large number of exclusions and exceptions to 343 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 7: that tariff rule have been implemented because of the damage 344 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 7: to the United States steel industry that those exceptions and 345 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 7: exclusions have imposed. Where now this order would reimpose that 346 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 7: twenty five percent oddlorum tariff rate on imports of steel. 347 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 3: And it's presented for your signature. 348 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 6: Now do you understand what that means. 349 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 8: It's a big deal. It's a big deal. This is 350 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 8: the beginning of making America rich again. Mister secretary, do 351 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 8: you have anything to say? As you know, Howard is 352 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 8: Secretary of Commerce doing a fantastic job, and. 353 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 6: What do you have to say about it? So when 354 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 6: you imposed. 355 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 9: The tariffs the first time, you added one hundred and 356 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 9: twenty thousand jobs, and since that time it's been picked 357 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 9: away and nicked away and excluded away, and we've lost 358 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 9: one hundred and seven thousand jobs. 359 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 6: And remember these aren't just general jobs. These are steel 360 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 6: workers in America. And now you're going to bring them back. 361 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 9: You're going to bring those one hundred and twenty thousand 362 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 9: jobs back to America. You are the president who's standing 363 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 9: up for the American steel worker. 364 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 3: And I am just tremendously impressed. 365 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 6: And delighted to stand next to you. So let me 366 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 6: just make a statement. 367 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 8: Essentially, this is another way of saying, we're doing a 368 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 8: twenty five percent tariff and steal in aluminum. So the 369 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 8: failed American trade policies have led our once incredible, the 370 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 8: United States steel in aluminum industries once incredible. 371 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 6: It's once incredible. 372 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 8: Now, but they're not bad. I saved them because of 373 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 8: my first term, totally saved them. 374 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 6: If I didn't do what I did. 375 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 8: I put massive tariffs, not the highest level, but pretty 376 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 8: massive tariffs. 377 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 6: We got. We took in a lot of money, and 378 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 6: we took. 379 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 8: In a lot of jobs, but we were being pumbled 380 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 8: by both friend and foe alike. Our nation requires steel 381 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 8: in aluminum to be made in America, not in foreign lands. 382 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,719 Speaker 8: We need to create in order to protect our country's future. 383 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 8: Resurgence of US manufacturing and production, the likes of which 384 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 8: has not been seen for many decades. It's time for 385 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 8: our great industries to come back to America, back to America. 386 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 8: This is the first of many, and you know what 387 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 8: I mean by that. We're going to be doing others 388 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 8: on other subjects topics. Protecting our stealed aluminum industries is 389 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 8: a must. And today I'm simplifying our tariffs and seal 390 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 8: and aluminum so that everyone can understand exactly what it means. 391 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 8: It's twenty five percent without exceptions or exemptions, and that's 392 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 8: all countries, no matter where it comes from, all countries. 393 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 8: If made in the United States, however, United States of America, 394 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 8: there is no tariff zero. So if it's made in 395 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 8: the United States, there is no tariff. All you have 396 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 8: to do is make it in the United States. We 397 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 8: don't need it from another country. As an example, Canada, 398 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 8: if we make it in the United States, we don't 399 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 8: need it to be made in Canada. We'll have the jobs. 400 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 8: That's why Canada should be our fifty first date. We'll 401 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 8: bring back industries and we'll bring back our jobs and 402 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 8: we'll make America industry great again. So essentially, we're putting 403 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 8: on a twenty five cent tariff with that exception on 404 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 8: all aluminum and all steel, and it's going to mean 405 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 8: a lot of businesses are going to be opening in 406 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 8: the United States. 407 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 4: Now. 408 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 8: We're going to be meeting over the next four week period, 409 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 8: maybe on a weekly basis, and maybe we'll do a 410 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 8: couple of them at different times and maybe together. 411 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 6: But we'll be talking about other subjects like cars. 412 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 8: We'll be talking about drugs and pharmaceuticals, we'll be discussing chips, 413 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 8: and we're going to be doing some other things in 414 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 8: addition to that, all which will bring in a lot 415 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 8: of jobs into our country. Cars is going to be 416 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 8: a very big one and a very important one, and 417 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 8: America is going to be stronger than it ever was before. 418 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 6: Okay, so are you finished with everything? 419 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 7: I think we have aluminum still, Okay, let's go so 420 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 7: with respect to aluminum, similarly to steel, since twenty eighteen, 421 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 7: a large number of exceptions and exemptions have been added 422 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 7: into the law. This eliminates all of those and also 423 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 7: increases the opera rum teriff rate from ten to twenty 424 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 7: five percent. 425 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 8: Mostly the last part is the most important, right would 426 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 8: you say totally? So basically this is aluminum the same thing, 427 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 8: no exceptions, no nothing, and it's going to bring our 428 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 8: aluminum business back and may go higher. 429 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 6: I mean, frankly, it may go higher. 430 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 8: And we're going to also be talking about receptive We're 431 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 8: going to be talking about things over the next three 432 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 8: weeks that I think will be amazing for our country, 433 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 8: amazing for our jobs, and will bring us to a 434 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 8: new level of prosperity. And I think, frankly, our allies 435 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 8: and our enemies all over the world expected this. They 436 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 8: really expected it for years. They really expected it sometime 437 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 8: during the Bidena administration, but they didn't do anything. As 438 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 8: you know, I put tariffs on China We took in 439 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 8: hundreds of billions of dollars with those tariffs, and Biden 440 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 8: wasn't able to get him out. He tried to, but 441 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 8: it was too much money. He couldn't do it. And 442 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 8: we're going to be doing a very concise and you know, 443 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 8: very very it's going to be good and I don't 444 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 8: think if done properly, and we're going to try and 445 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 8: do that. We don't want it to hurt other countries. 446 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 8: But they've been taking advantage of us for years and 447 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 8: years and years, and they've charged us terrors. Most of 448 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 8: them have charged us. Almost everyone, I would say almost 449 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 8: with that exception, they've charged us and we haven't charged them. 450 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 8: And it's time to be reciprocal. So very very you'll 451 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 8: be hearing that word a lot. Reciprocal. If they charge us, 452 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 8: we charge them. If they're at twenty five, we're at 453 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 8: twenty five. If they are at ten, we're at ten. 454 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 8: And if they're much higher than twenty five, that's what 455 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 8: we are too. So that's having to do with everything 456 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 8: that's not just stealing aluminum, but we'll discussing that over 457 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 8: the next couple of weeks. But we will be looking 458 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 8: at UH chips and we will be looking at cars, 459 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 8: and we're going to be looking at pharmaceuticals and going 460 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 8: to be a couple of other things. 461 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 4: Also, in addition that question for President, workers have seventy 462 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 4: supports this movement. 463 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 5: What would you say your virgan consumers will worry that. 464 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 6: They do support this movie. I love the steel makers. 465 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 8: That's good court statement, because they want to save their businesses. 466 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 8: US steel will now be a very valuable company. Anybody 467 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 8: that makes steel, it's going to be great. Anybody that 468 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 8: works in big steel is going to be very happy. 469 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 5: What you say consumers who won't worried about prices? 470 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 8: Oh, I don't think you're going to know you're going 471 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 8: to ultimately have a price reduction because they're going to 472 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 8: make their steel here. 473 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 6: There's not going to be any tariff. 474 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 8: These foreign companies will move to the United States, will 475 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 8: make their steal and aluminum in the United States. 476 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 6: Ultimately it'll be cheaper. But we'll also have jobs, many 477 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 6: many more jobs. At Paris hard you, Well, we'll looking 478 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 6: at numbers and we'll be coming up with a number, 479 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 6: but we have We. 480 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 8: Make some of the finest cars in the world, and 481 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 8: some companies prohibit us from selling those cars. In their countries, 482 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,479 Speaker 8: but they sell us cars. They send cars to us, 483 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 8: so we don't do that. We charge nothing or two 484 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 8: and a half percent, and they'll be charging one hundred percent. 485 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 8: They'll be charging much more than that if you look 486 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 8: at some of them. So I think those days are over. 487 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 8: But we'll be announcing on other things such as cars. 488 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 8: We got some other things we'll be doing, but the 489 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 8: biggest thing is reciprocal. We want tariffs to be fair. 490 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 8: If they charge, if they charge us, we charge them. 491 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 8: We'll be doing reciprocal over the next I would say 492 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 8: two days. Don't you think two days? 493 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 6: Yeah? Maybe. 494 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 8: The Australian pointment is that it has said that you 495 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 8: are considering the exemption for Australia on steel. 496 00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 6: Is that correct? 497 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 8: I just spoke to him, very fine man, and he 498 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 8: has a surplus. I mean, we have a surplus with Australia. 499 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 8: One are the few and the reason is they buy 500 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 8: a lot of aeroplanes. They are rather far away and 501 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 8: they need lots of aeroplanes, and we actually have a surplus. 502 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 8: It's one of the only countries which we do. And 503 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 8: I told him that that's something that we will give 504 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 8: great consideration to. 505 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 6: Would you consider one for the UK as well well. 506 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 8: We have a huge deficit with the UK. Big difference 507 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 8: with Argentina is a country. We have a deficit with 508 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 8: a little deficit with Argentina. Almost with every country, but 509 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 8: in Australia because of the airplanes, they buy a lot 510 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 8: of aeroplanes. 511 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 6: There's a little bit of a surplus. 512 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 3: Other countries retaliate. 513 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 6: I don't mind. 514 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 5: What is your plan for example, farmers last term? 515 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 8: You well, the farmers are going to be helped greatly. Yeah, 516 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 8: the farmers are going to be helped greatly because they're 517 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 8: not going to be dumping everything into our country. This 518 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 8: would be a great bill for farmers. And in terms 519 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 8: of retaliation if they retaliate, it's as I said, it's reciprocal. 520 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 8: So if they raise it a little bit, then we 521 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 8: raise it automatically. So I don't think it helps for 522 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 8: them to retaliate. But also remember this, they can't really 523 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 8: retaliate because with a piggy bank with a piggy bank. 524 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 6: But if we don't do this, we won't be the 525 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 6: piggy bank for long. We won't be much of a country. 526 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 8: There that hoosters going to stop these waving hostages. 527 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 6: And whats you, I think it's terrible. Look. 528 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 8: I looked at the hostages that came in and they're emaciated. 529 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 8: It looked like something out of the nineteen thirties. It's 530 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 8: an absolute disgrace. And I think they saw the way 531 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 8: the world viewed it, and they're looking for a reason 532 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 8: not to send more because the role. You take a 533 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 8: look at that looks like it looked like it was 534 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 8: a concentration camp, which is sent essentially it was. It 535 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 8: looks like they came out of the Holocaust. And what 536 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 8: I said thing one of them was a young man, 537 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 8: good looking guy, a little bit heavier than perhaps he 538 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 8: could have been, and now he looks like he's not 539 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 8: even recognizable, not even recognized. 540 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 6: Parts. 541 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 8: Look, I can tell you that those people have been 542 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 8: badly hurt, both mentally and physically. And I'm talking about 543 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 8: the young women that came out also previously. And I 544 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 8: think one of the reasons they're doing this is because 545 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 8: they're probably sending the best when you see is probably 546 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 8: the best, because they want to send people that look 547 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 8: at least healthy, and that's not healthy. These people have 548 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 8: been badly hurt. They've been interviewed by our representatives, they've 549 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 8: been interviewed by Israeli representatives. They're really hurting. They are 550 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 8: really hurting mentally and physically. And I think a mass 551 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 8: is looking at that and saying, well, it's not going 552 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 8: to get much better than that, because they probably send 553 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 8: out their best as a representative, and they've got more 554 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 8: to send out, and they probably feel that they can't 555 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 8: do that because it's not going to make them look 556 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 8: very good. 557 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 5: Friends of Ladas or should have cease fire them, y'all. 558 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 8: Well, I would say this, and I'm going to let 559 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 8: that because it's Israel's decision. But as far as I'm concerned, 560 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 8: if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 561 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 8: twelve o'clock, I think it's an appropriate time. I would say, 562 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 8: cancel it and all bets are off and let hell 563 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 8: break out. I'd say they ought to be returned by 564 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 8: twelve o'clock on Saturday. And if they're not returned, all 565 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 8: of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and 566 00:30:54,840 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 8: one and three and four and two Saturday at twelve o'clock, 567 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 8: and after that, I would say, all hell is going 568 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 8: to break out. And I don't think they're going to 569 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 8: do it. I think a lot of them are dead. 570 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 8: I think a lot of the hostages are dead. I 571 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 8: think it's a great it's a great human tragedy. What's happened? 572 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 8: How people can be. 573 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 6: That mean to do? 574 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 8: I mean, the one guy was laughing when when a 575 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 8: hostages he thought his family was alive, found out the 576 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 8: family was dead, and his captor, so to speak, his captors, 577 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 8: started laughing because he thought it was so funny. 578 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 6: You know, this is a different group of people. 579 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 8: No, I would say, Saturday at twelve, we want them 580 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 8: all back. I'm speaking for myself. Israel can override it, 581 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 8: but from myself, Saturday at twelve o'clock. 582 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 6: And if they're not, if they're not here, all hell 583 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 6: is going to break out. President this week. 584 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 10: And you said that Palestinians would not be guaranteed the 585 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 10: right to return to Gaza if the US were to 586 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 10: develop it. 587 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 6: What did you mean by that? 588 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 8: A under we've soaken to a lot of Palestinians. They 589 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 8: would love to leave Gaza if they could find a 590 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 8: place to be. And I've spoken to various leaders of 591 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 8: various countries and they're not so you know, distant area 592 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 8: from where we're talking about the Gaza strip, And. 593 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 6: I think they were very positive about providing land. 594 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 8: What we need is land, and if we could build 595 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 8: a nice place for people to live safely, everybody in 596 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 8: Gaza would do it. They've been persecuted, they've been they've 597 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 8: been spit on, they've been treated like trash, and they 598 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 8: would love to get out of Gaza. But until now 599 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 8: they've never had an alternative. Now they have an alternative. 600 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 8: And as far as Hamas is concerned, you're seeing the 601 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 8: real Hamas now with the hostages. 602 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 5: On Gaza. 603 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 6: Who you from?

And it was also 673 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 6: a waste. 674 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 8: I mean, number one, it was a bad group of 675 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 8: people running it, but it was also a waste. If 676 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 8: you looked at when she really ran it, Wow, that 677 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 8: was a vicious group of people.

How you've 695 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 5: really connected to mainstream America? 696 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 6: Yeah? 697 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 8: I have high approval rating is because I'm you know, 698 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 8: I'm using common sense, whether it's getting men out of 699 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 8: women's sports. I mean, have you seen what goes on 700 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 8: with the boxers and with the weightlifters and with the 701 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 8: swimmers and everything. 702 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 6: That's so ridiculous. 703 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 8: And I think it's a ninety percent issue, and you know, 704 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 8: the amazing thing, the Democrats are still fighting for it. 705 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,800 Speaker 8: It's crazy, it's crazy. I think we should go to 706 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 8: Congress also have that cemented and you know, make it indelible. 707 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 8: But we you know, it's to me, it's all common sense. 708 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 8: Who wants an open border where where prisons are dumped 709 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 8: into our country, where prisoners are let into our country, 710 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 8: many of whom are murderers, many of them murdered far more. 711 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 6: Than one person, and they're now roaming our country. Who 712 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 6: wants that? I mean, it's it's terrible. Steve, I'd like 713 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 6: you to say couple of words about it. 714 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 11: Yes, Well, as you know, mister President, since you issued 715 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 11: your Day one executive orders, border crossings are down approximately 716 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 11: ninety five percent. You talk to agents in the line 717 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 11: in their entire careers, they've never seen crossing days as 718 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 11: low as what they're experiencing right now. The cartels, in fact, 719 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 11: are enormously frustrated because they've never seen a clamped in 720 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 11: like this before in American history. There are people who 721 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 11: are working at border patrol back when it was ions 722 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 11: in the eighties and nineties. 723 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,359 Speaker 3: They've never seen a day like this. That's because you've. 724 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 11: Mobilized the tenth Mountain Division in the Marines, the entire 725 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 11: US military. They're erecting physical miles of barrier, temporary and 726 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 11: ultimately permanent. 727 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 3: Every single day. 728 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 11: You have all of your borderations push at the front line. 729 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 11: They're not doing the humanitarian processing quote unquote the bottom 730 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 11: was doing. They're doing law enforcement and national security. They're 731 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 11: interdicting weapons and drugs. They're interdicting violent, high threat criminals. 732 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 11: In the US military is repatriating illegal immigrants at a 733 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 11: pace in the skill it has never occurred before in 734 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 11: American history. And those are committing human trafficking and child 735 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 11: trafficking are being prosecuted for felony. 736 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 3: Offenses and they'll be doing hard time in jail. 737 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 11: There's never been a lockdown like what you have implemented 738 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 11: through your orders and visions since you took the other office. 739 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 8: What's your thoughts on DOGE Wednesday at tenity, I'm we're 740 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 8: having a first subcommittee. Ye, yeah, before I discuss that. 741 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 8: I just want to add to what Steve said, and 742 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 8: we want people to come into our country, but we 743 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 8: want them to come in legally. They have to go 744 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 8: through a process, and we have to know that they 745 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 8: haven't killed nine people, or they haven't killed like in 746 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,760 Speaker 8: one case, five people and the router on the Lucid. 747 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 6: We're all looking for that particular individual. 748 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 8: This was all let in by Biden and the group 749 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 8: of stupid people, bad people and stupid people. Some are bad, 750 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 8: some are stupid, some of both. But I'll tell you 751 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 8: what they've done to this country. But we're cleaning it 752 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,839 Speaker 8: up and hard to believe I can say it. It'll 753 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 8: be better than ever before. But we have a lot 754 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 8: of bad people. We have to get at cheek out 755 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 8: for a lot of them. I think Tom Holman and 756 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 8: Christie are doing an unbelievable job. Christine know they were 757 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 8: doing an unbelievable job and taking out massive numbers of people. 758 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 8: And you notice every country is accepting those people back. 759 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 8: Remember everyone said, oh, they'll never accept them. They're all 760 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 8: taking them back. They have to, They're all taking them back. 761 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 8: Every single country is taking them back. I don't know 762 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 8: if they want them or not. I don't imagine they do, 763 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 8: but they're taking them back. 764 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 10: As you talked with Fox. 765 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,720 Speaker 5: News about the billions of dollars we a for Jordan 766 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 5: and Egypt every year. 767 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 2: Would you as hold aid to these countries if they 768 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,760 Speaker 2: don't agree, to take it to Palestinians. 769 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe sure, I mean if they don't agree. 770 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,879 Speaker 8: If they don't agree, I would. I would conceivably withhold idea. 771 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 8: Are you going to talk to a promis don't about 772 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,840 Speaker 8: the sanity deadline? Sure, I mean, it's just my deadline, 773 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,879 Speaker 8: but they may change it. But I think it's I've 774 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 8: seen too many people come out. They look like Holocaust 775 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 8: victims from many years ago. I've never seen anything like it. 776 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 8: I didn't think this could happen in this world today. 777 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 8: You know, we think we have a civilized world. It's 778 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 8: not civil. These are bad people we're dealing with. So 779 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 8: I would that would be my suggestion. And he can 780 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 8: open it up and not open it up, and that 781 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 8: would be mind. Do you have anything to say about 782 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 8: your commerce, But you have a lot to say from 783 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 8: the standpoint of your faith and your religion. 784 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 9: So it's amazing that four years of nothing and then 785 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 9: you come in and you immediately start to move the needle. 786 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 9: You have hostages coming out, you send Steve Wickkoffin's done 787 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 9: an amazing job for you. You're changing the Middle East, 788 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 9: you're supporting your ally Israel, and I for one can't 789 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,720 Speaker 9: be more impressed with the outcomes that you have driven. 790 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 9: And choosing this Saturday to save people's lives or just 791 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,720 Speaker 9: be done with it seems like just the right choice. 792 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 8: But I think it's time to come up with a date. 793 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 8: It's totally we're going to do keep every every week. 794 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 8: Two people, three people. No, I don't think you can 795 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 8: do that anymore. These are very seriously endangered people. These 796 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 8: are endangered people. I don't I don't think they're. 797 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 6: Going to last very long. 798 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 8: You know, the people that came out yesterday, they wouldn't 799 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 8: last very long. 800 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 6: You're rooting out any US involvement in whatever happens after 801 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 6: this deadline. 802 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 8: We'll see what happens. We'll just see what happen. Yeah, 803 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 8: probably he wants to make a deal. 804 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 6: Let's see, we'll see. 805 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 8: We're dealing with them, and I think they both want 806 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 8: to make a deal, but we'll have to say it's 807 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 8: got to be done. Would have never happened to buy 808 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,919 Speaker 8: the president, this would never have happened. Millions of people 809 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 8: are dead. What we'll talk about that later. 810 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 10: Because your reaction to a judge very continuing a pause 811 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 10: in the buyout program for federal. 812 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 6: Workers, well, I don't know how you can lose a 813 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 6: case like that. We're talking about people, you know, everybody. 814 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 8: I got elected on making government better, more efficient, and smaller, 815 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 8: and that's what we're doing. And I think it was 816 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,919 Speaker 8: a very generous buyout. Actually, Also, if people don't show 817 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 8: up to work, we have a right to fire them, 818 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 8: and they have an option. They can show up to 819 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 8: work or not. If they don't want to show up 820 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 8: to work, they'll let them work, because then the next 821 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,879 Speaker 8: step is have you worked before? Have you worked during 822 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,399 Speaker 8: this time that you're supposed to be working. You'll find 823 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 8: many of those people, in my opinion, have had other jobs, 824 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,240 Speaker 8: even though they're collecting money from the federal government. 825 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 6: Many have had, in my opinion, other jobs if they did. 826 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 6: If they did, that's a big problem. 827 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,240 Speaker 7: If the buyouts are blocked in court, where you instead 828 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 7: pursued layoffs in federal departments. 829 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 6: I don't know how they can do. 830 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 8: This is free will, This is a buyout where people, 831 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 8: you know, they were offered a good deal. 832 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 6: Many people have taken that, as you know. But you 833 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,720 Speaker 6: know many of those people. And we talk about reporting 834 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,840 Speaker 6: to work. I happen to be a believer that you 835 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 6: have to go to work. I don't think you can 836 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 6: work from a home. I don't know. It's like there's 837 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 6: a whole big oh, you can work from home. Nobody's 838 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 6: going to work from home. 839 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 8: They're going to be going out, They're going to play tennis, 840 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 8: they're going to play golf, They're going to do a 841 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 8: lot of things.

Remember we have an 886 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 6: ocean separating. 887 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 8: They don't Europe should be paying what we're paying, and 888 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 8: Europe has done it more in the form of a 889 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 8: loan than with us. We just give it, you know, 890 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 8: Biden gives it because he's not a smart individual, not 891 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 8: a very smart individual. We have people over there today 892 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 8: who are making a deal that as we get money, 893 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 8: we get minerals, and we get oil and we get 894 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:48,399 Speaker 8: all sorts of things. 895 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,879 Speaker 6: Because why are we doing this and all this money. 896 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 8: We're maybe three hundred and fifty billion, and Europe's in 897 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 8: for one hundred billion, and Europe's in really as a 898 00:46:58,520 --> 00:46:59,319 Speaker 8: form of a loan. 899 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 6: In theory, they get that money back. In theory, they 900 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,719 Speaker 6: get interest on their money. It's a whole different ballgame. 901 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,320 Speaker 6: And Biden is the one that started doing this. 902 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,719 Speaker 8: Every time z Linskey came here, he walked away with 903 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 8: sixty to one hundred billion dollars. 904 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 6: I think he's one of the greatest salesmen who have 905 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 6: ever lived. 906 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,839 Speaker 5: By the way, intentions with the Kennedy Center. 907 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,839 Speaker 8: So we took over the Kennedy Center and we didn't 908 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 8: like what they were showing and various other things.

Tell us about it. 961 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,839 Speaker 12: That was my commitments of Congress when I was going 962 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 12: through my confirmation hearing, was that if confirmed on day one, 963 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 12: I would immediately be wrapping my hands around the funding 964 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 12: which is into the billions of dollars. We owe it 965 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 12: to the American taxpayers to be good stewards of our 966 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,160 Speaker 12: tax dollars.

But we also have to be cognizant of 973 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 12: how the American public spoke this past November that they 974 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,760 Speaker 12: have economic concerns with their lives that regardless of agency 975 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 12: and regardless of mission, there's a demand of the American people. 976 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 5: On the federal government to be working hard to tackle. 977 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 12: So we want to unleash energy dominance however possible, and 978 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:09,280 Speaker 12: bring back American auto jobs, to enact permitting. 979 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 5: Reform, and so much more. 980 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 7: So. 981 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,440 Speaker 5: We have a lot on our agenda. 982 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,800 Speaker 12: We're working hard on so many fronts making America the 983 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 12: AI capital of the world. But in order to do 984 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 12: all of this, we're going to have to make sure 985 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 12: that we're operating lean and efficient. We're working hard, and 986 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,560 Speaker 12: I just want to add a shout out to those 987 00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,560 Speaker 12: who we currently have on the ground with a disaster response. 988 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,120 Speaker 12: The end of last week, I was in La where 989 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 12: the wildfires have created what feels like in the apocalyptic 990 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 12: scenario where so many people lost homes and livelihoods.

So I want to turn to two 1004 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: things that you just mentioned because they're interconnected, permitting reform 1005 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: and the ability to defeat China and the race for AI. 1006 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 1: Could you give us a little update on where the 1007 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 1: discussions are for common sense permitting reform to speed up 1008 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 1: projects that will make this America safer, veter and smarter. 1009 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 12: So as soon as I came in here at EPA 1010 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,360 Speaker 12: started meeting with staff and the different offices we have 1011 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,240 Speaker 12: here to see what they need and what opportunities exist 1012 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,919 Speaker 12: to reduce timelines to be able to get permittents done. 1013 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,080 Speaker 12: And the fact is opportunities are bound all across this 1014 00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 12: agency to do our part. 1015 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 5: And when you're able to reduce. 1016 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,400 Speaker 12: That timeline and you've reduce costs, you'll end up increasing 1017 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,800 Speaker 12: investment from not just Americans, but also people outside of 1018 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 12: the country. 1019 00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 5: Who want to come to America. 1020 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 12: There's a fear that if you come, you spend maybe 1021 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,880 Speaker 12: billions of dollars with an uncertain future, that your timeline 1022 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 12: might be granted or not years down the road. It's 1023 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 12: a deterrent that leads to that investment not being made 1024 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:19,399 Speaker 12: in the first place. 1025 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 5: Let me say this about AI. 1026 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 12: For a lot of people, it's scary to see what 1027 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 12: AI technology is capable of, and a lot of people 1028 00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 12: have this their first instinct saying let's slow down, let's 1029 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:33,320 Speaker 12: not pursue this. 1030 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,400 Speaker 5: But here's the thing. If America hits. 1031 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,320 Speaker 12: The pause button on pursuing AI, that's not going to 1032 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,600 Speaker 12: stop nations like China from everything in their power. 1033 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 6: To get ahead. 1034 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:44,680 Speaker 5: So we have to lean into this. 1035 00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:45,759 Speaker 6: We have to win. 1036 00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:46,600 Speaker 4: We have to. 1037 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 12: Succeed in becoming the AI capital of the world, and 1038 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,320 Speaker 12: if we're not, places like China will do in the 1039 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:53,200 Speaker 12: heartbeat if they can. 1040 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:56,840 Speaker 2: Sara, you mentioned California, So I want to use that 1041 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 2: as an example because there is no state out there 1042 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,040 Speaker 2: who has a large claim of caring about the environment 1043 00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 2: in California, and yet we saw three weeks ago that 1044 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 2: the environmental policies imposed by that state just absolutely failed 1045 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,799 Speaker 2: the people. President Trump was there and met with city 1046 00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,320 Speaker 2: leaders and Mayor Karen Bass, the governor Gavin Newsom. But 1047 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 2: it's going to be your job to work with them 1048 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,480 Speaker 2: and try to figure out a happy medium, that sweet 1049 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 2: spot between protecting the environment and protecting the people of California. 1050 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 2: Is that going to be a contentious relationship or do 1051 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:24,960 Speaker 2: you think it's going to be free flowing. 1052 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,320 Speaker 12: On this There is absolutely no reason for it to 1053 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 12: be contentious. We want all levels of government to be 1054 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 12: able to work well together. We want to work with 1055 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:35,960 Speaker 12: residents who want to get back in their home, they 1056 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 12: want to rebuild, they want their communities stronger than ever. 1057 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,720 Speaker 12: So when President Trump came in, he said a thirty 1058 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,560 Speaker 12: day exec He signed an executive order that within thirty 1059 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,320 Speaker 12: days he wanted phase one removal of hazard's material to 1060 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:48,759 Speaker 12: be done. 1061 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 5: That was a very ambitious, bold deadline. 1062 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 12: But what we did was we massively ramped up the 1063 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,279 Speaker 12: amount of resources that we have on the ground to 1064 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 12: condense that timeline down to days. And we have gone 1065 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,000 Speaker 12: through thousands of homes. As I mentioned, a couple of 1066 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,560 Speaker 12: minutes ago. We have over twelve hundred people working on it. 1067 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,360 Speaker 12: And here's a good thing about the way this process 1068 00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,560 Speaker 12: is working. You don't have to complete all of phase 1069 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 12: one in order to start phase two. Phase two being 1070 00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,760 Speaker 12: the Army Corps work of doing debris removal, which is critical. 1071 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,560 Speaker 5: Every time we finish at a property, Army Corps is 1072 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 5: on the ground. 1073 00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 6: So you'll love this. 1074 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,640 Speaker 12: Last Thursday, when I went to go visit California, it 1075 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,920 Speaker 12: wasn't just me there as EPA administrator. Now they just 1076 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 12: bring the the acting Regional Administrator for Region nine out there. 1077 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:41,360 Speaker 12: We also had the acting Regional Administrator for FEMA. We 1078 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 12: had Major General Kelly from the Army Corps of Engineers. 1079 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,960 Speaker 12: It's a whole of government approach where we were all 1080 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:53,360 Speaker 12: standing there on a street with concerned residents with questions 1081 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 12: that they wanted answered, and by the end of that 1082 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,080 Speaker 12: back and forth, you could tell how relieved they were 1083 00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,120 Speaker 12: now that they have more certainty in understanding and be able. 1084 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:03,720 Speaker 5: To communicate directly with the government. 1085 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,720 Speaker 12: We want to be transparent, we want to be president, 1086 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,320 Speaker 12: and we want to get the job done fast and 1087 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 12: work with anyone to do it. 1088 00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 1: It's going and how government should work, not the way 1089 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,920 Speaker 1: it has been working. It's really amazing. So I want 1090 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,360 Speaker 1: to ask real quickly. When President Trump first came in, 1091 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,760 Speaker 1: he removed us again from the Paris Climate Accords. Today, 1092 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 1: some of the folly of that agreement was laid bare. 1093 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,239 Speaker 1: Only five percent of nations actually submitted their plan by 1094 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,360 Speaker 1: the deadline. Apparently they're not as serious as the promise was. 1095 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 12: Well, this is an important fact that there were a 1096 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 12: lot of nations that weren't planning to and committing to 1097 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,719 Speaker 12: step up the way that they should. We should in 1098 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,959 Speaker 12: America take great pride in what we have been doing 1099 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 12: to be good stewards of our environment and tapping into 1100 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:56,800 Speaker 12: American innovation and bringing emissions down. Unfortunately, that is not 1101 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,720 Speaker 12: the case in so many other countries around the world, 1102 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 12: and where we have areas of this country that are 1103 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,920 Speaker 12: in non attainment, not because of what's happening in that community, 1104 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,840 Speaker 12: but because of what's coming in from other countries. That 1105 00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 12: is only highlighting the need that we need other nations 1106 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 12: to step off to do their part. I think that's 1107 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 12: going to be incredibly important to be able to really 1108 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 12: tackle these issues globally, not just here at home. 1109 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,360 Speaker 2: That was your new EPA administrator, Lee Zelden, so kind 1110 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 2: of him to join us for tonight. That's going to 1111 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 2: wrap it for us.
