1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: Let's discuss draining the swamp, the surgery we're in now.

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: We have reporting on the resistance from inside the government.

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: Sean Spicer joins us. Chip Roy joins us, all that

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: coming up, and I'm right. I thought it would be

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: helpful to talk about where we're at as a country

6
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: really quickly here, because look, we're two months into the

7
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Trump presidency. Things are going very well. The country is

8
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: very happy with it. Trump himself posted on social media

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: to day fifty seven percent approval. That's really high for

10
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: a modern day president. The country's happy, You're happy, I'm happy.

11
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: I thought it would be helpful, though, to discuss what

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: we have ahead of us here because things are going well.

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: What does that mean. Well, here's what it means.

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: The United States of America is now still currently and

15
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: has been very, very, very very sick.

16
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: We'll go ahead and call it.

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: Cancer for the purpose of our analogy here tonight. And look,

18
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: I just lost another family member to cancer. I'm well

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: aware of what that word means to people, so I'll

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: be as delicate as I can. But I don't know

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: that there's a better way to describe where we are

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: as a country. We have developed cancer, and I say, developed,

23
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: that's really putting it nicely. People with names and addresses

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: have given this country cancer on purpose, communism, Marxism. It

25
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: has infected this country. And it's not we didn't catch

26
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: it early. I'll put it to you that way. Year

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: after year after year, decade after decade, the cancerous tumor

28
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: of Marxism has been growing inside the body of the

29
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: United States of America. And for our purposes, we'll make

30
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: this a little bit more narrow tonight. It's been growing

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: inside the United States government, inside our political body, inside

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: the bureaucracy. Year after year after year, through focused effort

33
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: on their part and negligence on our part, they have

34
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: been hiring as many committed communists to occupy the government

35
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: as humanly possible, as fast as they could possibly bring

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: them in the door.

37
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: They brought them in the door.

38
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: And remember this was a focused effort by the American Democrat,

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: by the American communists. Remember we would get stories really

40
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: towards the end of the Biden presidency, but the last

41
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: year these really ramped up where you'd wake up and

42
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: you'd see another massive, another massive crop of federal employees

43
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: were just hired. The Biden administration just grabbing people from

44
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: the private sector and hoovering them up into the federal

45
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: government as fast as they could, almost like they had

46
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: a purpose. And you'd say, one thousand new IRS agents.

47
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: They made sure that was part of their signature bill.

48
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: Get him in, Get him.

49
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 3: In more and more and more?

50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: Why why?

51
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: Well, what is the communist? He is a revolutionary. He

52
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: is a religious sellate and a revolutionary. And wherever you

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: put him, you could put him as head of the

54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: cub Scouts, you could put him coaching a Little League team,

55
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: your child social studies teacher, or you could put him

56
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: in the IRS, the FBI. He's going to evangelize on

57
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: behalf of communism, and he will do so in a

58
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: committed fashion. And the American Democrat knows that year after

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: year after year, decade after decade, these people have wormed their.

60
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: Way into the federal government.

61
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: And where we are now as a country, Trump or

62
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: no Trump, is we are very, very, very sick. And

63
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: the reason I chose to use cancer is cancer is

64
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: a tough nut to crack. It's very difficult, and I'm

65
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: certainly not the cancer expert. I just have multiple loved

66
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: ones I've lost to that terrible terrible disease.

67
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: It's just very.

68
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: Difficult to kill it without killing the person you're trying

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: to help. You know this, and we'll talk about chemo

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: therapy people. That could apply to really so many forms

71
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: of cancer. You have this malignant group of cells, it's

72
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: growing inside the body. That's American Marxism, and it's growing,

73
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: and it's growing. It's growing. It's growing inside of our

74
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: government as we speak. It's growing. And you have to

75
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: not only stop the growth, you must remove it. You

76
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: must remove the cancer. But it's not just remove some

77
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: of it. The thing is about cancer. You have to

78
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: get it all. You have to get every part of it.

79
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: Even if you leave just one little speck of it

80
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: left in there, well, that part's just gonna start growing

81
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: and growing. You're gonna have the same problem again. You

82
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: must get it all. But well that's the other challenge, right,

83
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: You have to get it all. But there's good stuff

84
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: around it, there are essential things around it. How do

85
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: you make sure you get it all all that cancer

86
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: while not cutting around so much stuff that you kill

87
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: the person you're trying to say, Which brings us to

88
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: what the Trump administration is doing now and where we are.

89
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: We are not saved. We are not on the road

90
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: to recovery.

91
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: The election of Donald Trump bringing in people like Elon

92
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: Musk and others. What it did was it got us

93
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: an appointment with the doctor. And we are currently under

94
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: the knife on the operating table and that's what really

95
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: draining the swamp is.

96
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: And any federal bureaucrat who resists this change will be

97
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: removed from office immediately.

98
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: Because we are draining the swamp.

99
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: It's very simple, and the days of rule by unelected

100
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 4: bureaucrats are over.

101
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: I love that. I cheered. Hopefully you cheered clapped at

102
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: least on the inside when he said it. I love it.

103
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: He said it many times. Drain the swamp.

104
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: We're not going to be run by these dirty communist

105
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: bureaucrats anymore. Yes, yes, that sounds good. We know the

106
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: IRS is reportedly cutting fifty percent of its workforce, DoD

107
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: five percent, eight percent, depending on who you talk to.

108
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: You wake up every single day, you pick up your

109
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: phone and you look, and they're cutting these people.

110
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: They're cutting those people.

111
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: Cuts here, cuts there, and Central intelligence agencies not exempt

112
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: from this. They're reportedly pulling people off site. Hey, give

113
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: me your security badge. Starbucks is on me. By the way,

114
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: you're out.

115
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: Of a job.

116
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: So all these things are good. I want you to

117
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: celebrate them. I'm celebrating them. Elon came out and said,

118
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: it might be the first time this kind of thing's

119
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: actually working.

120
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 5: I mean, the reality is that very very little power

121
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 5: relative to the bureaucracy until Doge. So Doge is a

122
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 5: threat to the bureaucracy. It's the first threat to the bureaucracy. Normally,

123
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 5: the bureaucracy eats revolutions for breakfast. This is the first

124
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 5: time that they're not that the revolution might actually succeed,

125
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 5: that we could restore power to the people instead of

126
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 5: power to the bureaucracy.

127
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: So good things are happening, and they are afraid, and

128
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: we are under the knife, and as of right now,

129
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: surgery is going well. My point for this talk tonight

130
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: is just so we all understand that this is going

131
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: to be painful, even if the surgery, and I hope

132
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: it is, even it's if it's a huge success, if

133
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: they get every single bit of the cancer out, Even

134
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: a perfect surgery at this point in time is still

135
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: going to involve pain, a recovery period. You can't as

136
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: a country allow yourself to get this sick for this

137
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: long and then come out of it without pain. We

138
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: want a quick fix. We want this so that if you,

139
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: if you have a reader, maybe you have any complaints

140
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: about the Trump administration so far? Why haven't they done

141
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: this yet? Why haven't they done that yet? What I

142
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: get that totally totally fair to criticize your government as well,

143
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: not complaining about you at all. But this kind of surgery,

144
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: this much recovery, is going to be painful because we

145
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: are not we were, We are very, very very sick.

146
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: You remember the report about Ice. Now this is this

147
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: is really one of those things when you take a

148
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: moment and you and you really just take in the

149
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: whole story.

150
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: It's even more amazing.

151
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: You remember the story came out that Ice was conducting

152
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: still conducting raids. But what was their policy? You've heard

153
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: Tom Holman talk about it. We've talked about it a

154
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: million times on the show. They're going after the worst first,

155
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: the worst first, the worst first. That was their priority,

156
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: public safety threats first.

157
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: You've heard that. What does that mean?

158
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: Well, remember foreign countries under democrats emptied their prisons and

159
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: mental institutions into our It's not just that we have

160
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: people from Venezuela here. We have the worst scumbags in

161
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: Venezuela here, sent here by Venezuela and accepted here, oftentimes

162
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: flown here by American Democrats. That's what happens when you

163
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: vote Democrat. We're talking people convicted of child rape, serial murderers.

164
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: Our ICE is out there hunting these people down first. Hey,

165
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: let's get these people first. And remember we would woke

166
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: up and there was a story one day that someone

167
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: inside the government had given the child rapists heads up

168
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: that ICE was coming so they couldn't be arrested. Christine Olan,

169
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: to her credit, came out because I was calling for it.

170
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: I didn't want to hear about firings. I wanted to

171
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: hear about President Here's what she said.

172
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 6: They're sleekers all over per if throughout this government. I

173
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 6: think that everybody needs to be I think these and

174
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 6: DHS specifically, these two were leaking our enforcement operations that

175
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 6: we had planned and we're going to conduct in several

176
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 6: cities and expose law enforcement to vulnerabilities, to those ops

177
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 6: being jeopardized to where their lives would be in danger.

178
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 6: So they will be prosecuted and they could face up

179
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 6: to ten years in federal prison.

180
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Because they did that, and they better, and they better

181
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: because the system is digging in, the system is fighting

182
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: a revolution. As I said, we didn't have, or we

183
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 1: didn't used to have. We currently have cancer of the

184
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: terminal variety. We are in emergency surgery and it must

185
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: be successful. They will fight. Why do you think, why

186
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: do you think we still don't have that Epstein list. Look,

187
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: maybe you can yell and scream all you want.

188
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: Maybe you're right.

189
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: Maybe Pam Bondi is a disappointment, as I told you,

190
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: she very well might be initially. Maybe the system, maybe

191
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: our evil system we have. Maybe the system is in

192
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: there protecting the billionaire politicians on that list. Did you

193
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: see what came out? This is from Center for Renewing America.

194
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: You know, we talk a lot about DEI stuff, DEI this,

195
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: DEI that. Do you know how much of your money

196
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: has been used to spend on the cultural Marxist destruction

197
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: of your country, a trillion dollars political ideology aside.

198
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: How many people will do very bad things to protect.

199
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: A trillion dollar business of theirs where they get to

200
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: make money on DEI. We are not done with surgery.

201
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: We are not cured, not by a long shot. We

202
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: are in the middle of it. And what we are

203
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: going to go through in this next four years as

204
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: the Trump administration focuses on this stuff is going to

205
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: be painful and there are going to be ops and

206
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: propaganda pieces against it. You're going to see media story

207
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: after media story of them trying to defend the trillion

208
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: dollar scam they've maintained forever. The cancer wants to remain.

209
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: We have to gird our loins and be ready for

210
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: what is going to be a very long surgery and

211
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: even if it's successful, a very long, very long recovery.

212
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: That's what happens when your country is neglected for as

213
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: long as it has been. All that may have made

214
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: you uncomfortable, but I am right. The Great Luke Resaiaka

215
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: joins us. He has some reporting on just how deep

216
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: the corruption goes. In just a moment before we get

217
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: to Luke, let's talk about the rot and as it

218
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: pertains to the corporate system. We've been talking about the

219
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: bureaucracy the government. The corporate system is just as evil

220
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: and you could argue it's done just as much damage.

221
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: What was your cell phone company doing during COVID.

222
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: What was your cell.

223
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: Phone company doing after Saint George Floyd died? Were they

224
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: writing checks with your money to Black Lives Matter? I

225
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: haven't forgotten, and I haven't forgiven my cell phone company

226
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: wasn't doing any of those things.

227
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: Pure Talk.

228
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: All they do is patriotism and give you the same

229
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: Grade five G network for like half of what you're

230
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: currently paying. You want your cell phone bill cut in

231
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: half while you support a company that actually hires Americans

232
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: is pro America.

233
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: It will never use your money against America.

234
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: Puretalk dot com slash JESSETV.

235
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: We'll be bad.

236
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: Rebelieve that whether you are a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer,

237
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 4: or an air traffic controller, you should be hired and

238
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 4: promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender.

239
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 4: You should be hired based on merit.

240
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: It's a no brainer, right, Probably why that speech received

241
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: like a seventy six percent approval rating from the American public.

242
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: Hire based on Merit's one of those things that gets

243
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: most people not in their head, Yeah they should, So

244
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: why is that not a thing in the federal government

245
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: where it should probably be mostly a thing? There joining

246
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: me now, Luke Raziah investigative reporter with the Daily Wire

247
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: has a wonderful, fascinating piece out on why this doesn't

248
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: happen with the feds. Hey, Luke, I'll let you filibuster.

249
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: The floor is yours. Why is it the federal government?

250
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: Why hasn't it been hiring on merit?

251
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 7: It's really amazing Jesse And back in the nineteen seventies,

252
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 7: there were some minorities who didn't get hired for federal jobs,

253
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 7: and so they sued. And what they were alleging is,

254
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 7: at the time, the government had it sort of down

255
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 7: to a science. How to identify out of the thousands

256
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 7: or millions of people applying for federal jobs, how do

257
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 7: you rank them? How do you sort through all those

258
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 7: resumes and get the best of the best. Well, they

259
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 7: had this exam called the Professional Administrative Career Examination, and

260
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 7: it was kind of like the SAT for applying to

261
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 7: work for the federal government. It could figure out how

262
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 7: smart you were, how good you were going to be

263
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 7: at your job, and it was very accurate. They did

264
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 7: all these studies that had turned out to very accurately

265
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 7: predict who was going to go on to be a

266
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 7: good employee. But it turned out that there was some

267
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 7: racial impacts to that. It wasn't the exact same racial

268
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 7: breakdown of blacks, whites, and Hispanics as you would get

269
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 7: if you just hired and essentially a random lottery. And

270
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 7: so there were some minorities who sued and Jimmy Carter

271
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 7: was president at the time. Even he said, now, well,

272
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 7: we need to be able to hire the best. I mean,

273
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 7: this makes sense to figure out whether you can do

274
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 7: the job before we hire. But eventually they kind of

275
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 7: bullied him, and after he lost election, he sort of

276
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 7: just kind of threw in the towel and agreed to

277
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 7: settle with this group of plaintiffs. So this is back

278
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 7: in nineteen eighty one, and it was supposed to be

279
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 7: this five year sort of court order where these plaintiffs

280
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 7: could basically the government agreed to stop using this exam

281
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 7: and the plaintiffs were supposed to choose. They had veto

282
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 7: power over the new examination. So here's the problem, Jesse.

283
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 7: They weren't able to figure out any exam that did

284
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 7: not have racial impact. The Office of Personnel Management developed

285
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 7: six different tests to figure out who the best employees were.

286
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: But the better, the more accurately.

287
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 7: It pretty predicted what a good employee you were going

288
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 7: to be, the more it had disparate impact on minority groups.

289
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 7: And so they just weren't able to find a test

290
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 7: that hired competent employees and resulted in a federal workforce

291
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 7: that exactly mirrored the population as a whole. And so

292
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 7: the only way, the only test they could figure out

293
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 7: that got the racial results they were looking for was

294
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 7: a self assessment. And so this is where we are

295
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 7: right now. For decades, this is how you come to

296
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 7: get a federal job. Is you tell every you fill

297
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 7: out a multiple quite, you know, a multiple choice exam

298
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 7: where the more you brag and boast, the more you

299
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 7: get the job. And so basically we now screen federal

300
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 7: employees for arrogance instead of competence, and that's resulted in

301
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 7: the racial makeup that they were looking for.

302
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: What So, so I just want to make sure I'm

303
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: clear about this because I've never tried. I've never applied

304
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: for a federal position. So the application for a federal

305
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: job just involves telling the federal government that you're really great?

306
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: Did I have that right?

307
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 7: That's right? So instead of saying, like, here are a

308
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 7: bunch of math questions to figure out whether you're good

309
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 7: at math, they ask you, how great are you at math?

310
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 7: And if you're like, man, I'm the best at math,

311
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 7: nobody's better at math than me, then you get hired.

312
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 7: And so this has been the only exam they've found

313
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 7: that has been able to get them the requisite number

314
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 7: of blacks and Hispanics. And so for forty years we've

315
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 7: had this random DC court settlement, and again it was

316
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 7: only supposed to last five years, but they couldn't find

317
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 7: any normal test that would do what they were looking for.

318
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 7: So we've had total DEI hiring across all federal agencies

319
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 7: for almost half a century. And it literally explicitly Jimmy

320
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 7: Carter was just like, yeah, we can't hire for competence

321
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 7: because then we won't be able to hire any black people.

322
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: Like it sounds racist when.

323
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 7: You say what Jimmy Carter's position was, but that's how

324
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 7: the federal government has been operating.

325
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: And so Trump is challenged in court.

326
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 7: He's got his US attorney in DC making a very

327
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 7: strong argument that this should have never been in place,

328
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 7: and especially after recent Supreme Court rulings on affirmative action,

329
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 7: there's no way that this is justified not to mention

330
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 7: the fact that there is no underrepresentation of blacks in

331
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 7: the federal workforce. They're actually fifty percent overrepresented. So I

332
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 7: don't know why this DEI scheme would even be justified,

333
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 7: to say nothing of the fact that this is supposed

334
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 7: to be a short term thing that like all affirmative

335
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 7: action programs, just somehow goes on forever.

336
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, okay, all right, look before great reporting. By

337
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: the way, before I let you go, I have to ask,

338
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: so Trump's challenging this in court, We're looking at all

339
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: these different cuts. Marco Rubio comes out says, all these

340
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: USA contracts are being stopped, fifty percent of IRS.

341
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 2: Agents are going to be let go.

342
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: My question is how permanent are these things, Luke? Or

343
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: the next time we get some worthless old comedy like Biden,

344
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: or they're just going to go in and re implement

345
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: all these things.

346
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I guess that's where Congress has got

347
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 7: to do its job. You know, we got to see

348
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 7: about this cr where Doge is making all these budget cuts.

349
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 7: I mean, we really need to see that reflected in Congress,

350
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 7: giving less money to these agencies, and even when it

351
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 7: comes to laying off employees, they have all these kind

352
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 7: of appeal rights, merit systems, protection board and so on.

353
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 7: And one of the best ways to ensure that we

354
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 7: can fire these people that the DOGE layoffs actually stick

355
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 7: is cutting the agency's budget, because that's a great justification

356
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 7: where you have to tell a judge, look, of course

357
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 7: we had to lay them off.

358
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 2: We don't have the money.

359
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 7: So it really it comes to it comes down to Congress.

360
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: He is Luke rezaiak daily Wire. Go read all of

361
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: his stuff. You want to be on in the know

362
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: if you will. As we say, Luke, thank you so much, man,

363
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.

364
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: All right.

365
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of Congress budget, what's in it, what's not? What's

366
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: going to pass? There's two different things. There's a cr

367
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: there's let's talk to Chip Roy and really suss all

368
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: this out of what's what and who's who. Before we

369
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: get to Chip Roy, let's talk about your watch, you

370
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: know what.

371
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: Let's talk about your next.

372
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: Gift, the one to yourself or to maybe your father,

373
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: brother son. Something special about giving or getting a watch,

374
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: especially when it's a Wasson watch and you're giving a

375
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: watch that's not only high quality, you're giving a watch

376
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: that shares and promotes your values. When I got my

377
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: Wasson Watch one, I got this sweet leather roll up

378
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: carrying case with it, different options for.

379
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 2: The band on it.

380
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: Mine had a Bible Verse in it. Did you get

381
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: a Bible Verse with the last watch you purchased? Wasson

382
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: Watch shares and promotes our values, run by a United

383
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: States Marine Best Watches, and you're supporting a company who

384
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: supports you. Ten off of Wasson Watch with the promo

385
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: cod Wassonwatch dot Com promo code jess We'll be back.

386
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: Could happen?

387
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 4: I mean the Democrats want that, they want to destroy

388
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 4: the gun jat so I can't tell you, but it

389
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 4: could happen. It shouldn't have happened, and it probably won't.

390
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 4: I think the CR is going to get beast. We'll see,

391
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 4: but it could happen.

392
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 5: You never know.

393
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: Another day, another threat of a government shut down, always

394
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: hanging over our heads. I guess we'll get an update

395
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: from Chip on whether we should be cheering for one

396
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: or not joining me now, Congressman ship Roy right when

397
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: from the State of Texas, OK.

398
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: Chip, so confused.

399
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: There's a big, beautiful bill, there's a CR. There's separate things,

400
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 1: but everything seems to be linked. Right now, tell us

401
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: what's going on. I'm too stupid.

402
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 8: Hardly when you're not in Congress or are you in DC,

403
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 8: that makes you the smart one. Look here's yeah, there's

404
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 8: no excuse for me. That's all I can say. So

405
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 8: here's the deal. Let me put a basic current. You

406
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 8: have your spending bills right, which is the discretionary spending,

407
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 8: the alphabet soup of all the agencies and crap and defense.

408
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 8: That's roughly about one point seven or eight trillion dollars

409
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 8: a year, give or take. Then you've got overall mandatory

410
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 8: spending right. You've got all your Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid,

411
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 8: food stamps, interest, all of that stuff that most of

412
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 8: which is on autopilot. So we have two big debates

413
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 8: going on right now. First and most pressing right now

414
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 8: this week is whether or not and how we're going

415
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 8: to deal with the government funding that expires on Friday

416
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 8: or the discretionary piece, because we're operating under the three

417
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 8: month cr that was passed right before Christmas, So now

418
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 8: that debate is unfolding. On that point, I support what

419
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 8: the President wants to do with a six month freeze

420
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 8: and spending at the current spending levels using a very

421
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 8: pretty tight clean cr It's got some anomalies in there

422
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 8: which are kind of budgetary geek speak for trying to

423
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 8: level out the facts that certain contracts expire, laws change,

424
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 8: so you have to kind of manipulate it a little bit.

425
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 8: But basically you're spending the same level as we spent

426
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 8: last year. It's a free, no earmarks, no big optimus bill.

427
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 8: We have seventy two hours to read the bill. We're

428
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 8: doing that right now. We got it on Saturday. There's

429
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 8: generally fairly wide support and the most important point is

430
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 8: to give the President and Elon more time to use

431
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 8: DOGE and russ vote over the Office of Management and

432
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 8: Budget time to figure out how they can do impoundment

433
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 8: and recisions to keep cutting.

434
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: What they're cutting.

435
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 8: So, for example, Marco Rubio yesterday announced that eighty three

436
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 8: percent of the contracts operating under a USAID are now canceled.

437
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 8: So that's why when you hear a conservative go, why

438
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 8: am I going to vote to fund the USAID? Well,

439
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 8: you're not really with this guy in the White House.

440
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 8: You're not really with Marco at State because they're making changes.

441
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 8: So for us, the smart play tactically is don't empower

442
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 8: democrats to try to shut the government down and shut

443
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 8: Elon down. Just past the CR that we have designed

444
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 8: to be very limited and give us six more months

445
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 8: to get Elon and those guys up to speed. The

446
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 8: second part is the reconciliation part, which is where we

447
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 8: touch mandatory. I can go down that road if you want,

448
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 8: but I've been filibustering.

449
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: No, no, I would rather Actually that was a wonderful layout.

450
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: So what we're dealing with right now is the CR

451
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: for the discretionary things.

452
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: The basic things.

453
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 1: Now now for the ugly part, the untouchables and all

454
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: that other stuff, please take it away.

455
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 8: So if we get this CR done this week, some

456
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 8: conservatives have been raising concerns because they don't want to

457
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 8: find usaid or playing parent, but I think we'll get there.

458
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 8: If we get that done, all right, then government is

459
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 8: funded through September at frozen levels. Discretionary eat hag set's

460
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 8: got defense money.

461
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 2: All right, let's go.

462
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 8: Then we've got to deal with what's called reconciliation, the

463
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 8: purpose of which is to try to balance everything out

464
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 8: and to say, hey, we're not going to have more

465
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 8: deficit spending. Right, It's to make it in the math work,

466
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 8: which we usually fail at. The goal here is to

467
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 8: say we want to extend Trump's tax cuts so that

468
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 8: we can get economic growth going while they're deregulating and

469
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 8: doing all that great stuff. More money in americans pockets.

470
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 8: Don't let a tax increase happen. But also, this is

471
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 8: the important part, have spending cuts when we pass the

472
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 8: budget in the House side Jodie Arrington, fellow Texan. He

473
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 8: and I worked hard on the Budget Committee, along with

474
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 8: our colleagues to come up with a plan that would

475
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 8: find two trillion dollars in savings out of reforms heavily

476
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 8: to Medicaid, food stamps, the student loan program, other stuff

477
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 8: that we thought was filled with waste, fraud, de use.

478
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 8: That's where we think we're going to have the biggest

479
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 8: fight coming up. Will our blue state moderates say we

480
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 8: can't touch Medicaid reform even though, by the way, it's

481
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 8: still going up under our budget. This is just the

482
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 8: DC swamp craft, where it's a reduction in the increase.

483
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 8: In other words, it's not really my preference. It's not

484
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 8: really good enough for me.

485
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: Comma.

486
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 8: However, it was good enough because it was historic for

487
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 8: us to have two trillion dollars in reductions to mandatory spending,

488
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 8: which are desperately needed. One last point, you put it

489
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 8: all in context. If you go back to pre COVID spending,

490
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 8: we were spending about four and a half trillion dollars

491
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 8: total for government. Today we're spending seven trillion JESSE. We

492
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 8: ought to easily be able to cut that. But to

493
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 8: be clear, President Trump has taken Medicare off the table. Legally,

494
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 8: we can't touch Social Security under law in reconciliation. All

495
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 8: that lead and you can't do anything about interest except

496
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 8: strength spending. So all that leads is medicaid, food stamps,

497
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 8: some of those issues. So that's why we're focused so

498
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 8: intently on that reform because medicaid is.

499
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: Often being used to scam. California gets a whole bunch.

500
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 8: Of federal money and they give it to illegal aliens

501
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 8: and the able body instead of the most vulnerable. So

502
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 8: for me, let's just saved that scam. Let's not give

503
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 8: the money to the able body. Let's give it to

504
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 8: the vulnerable, and let's do our job.

505
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: That was a lot, okay, Chiff, No, it wasn't, thank

506
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: you for that was such a wonderful simple breakdown. Everyone

507
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: comes on and uses all these freaking words.

508
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 2: You're the only one who.

509
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: Breaks it down in such a simple fashion. So explain

510
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: this to me so I can understand. It was four trillion,

511
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: now it's seven trillion. We're dealing with two trillion and

512
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: Medicaid cuts over a significant period of time.

513
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: I believe I got you correct on all that.

514
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: So how do we get such an increase in Medicare, Medicaid,

515
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: social security during COVID. I understand the spending increase during

516
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: COVID with the idiotic this bill and that bill, and

517
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: I get all that, But the non discretionary spending jacked.

518
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: Up during COVID too. How did that happen?

519
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 8: So the jump from the four and a half from

520
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 8: four and a half trillion in total spending right before COVID,

521
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 8: say twenty nineteen, to seven trillion now at two and

522
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 8: a half trillion, I'm still getting full accounting of that,

523
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 8: now that we've got people in the administration helping us.

524
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 8: But in broad terms, it boils down to inflation was

525
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 8: a big chunk of it, right, See have massively increasing inflation,

526
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 8: but you also had a massive expansion in medicaid Okay,

527
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 8: let me give you an example for just the medicaid piece.

528
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 8: If you look at the fiscal year twenty one budget,

529
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 8: the Congressional Budget Office, their baseline that is what they

530
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 8: project out over time for medicaid was a trillion over

531
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 8: a trillion dollars less than our current baseline. So in

532
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 8: four years, the overall projection for the cost of medicaid

533
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 8: is a whole other trillion dollars more than it was

534
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 8: in twenty one when Trump left office. So what happened

535
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 8: was Democrats used COVID, jammed a whole bunch of money

536
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 8: into the system. A whole bunch went to the state.

537
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 8: The states got flushed with cash. The states then spent

538
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 8: that for a lot of their preferred parts, and in

539
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 8: states like California, used that to gain the system to

540
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 8: then pump all this money to fund illegals, to fund

541
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 8: the able body and expand medicaid because they want everybody

542
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 8: on the hook, they want everybody in socialized medicine, so

543
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 8: they blew out all of that.

544
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: That was a huge chunk of it. There are other things.

545
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 8: There was expansions and bootstamps, like three hundred billion dollars

546
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 8: that was funding on the student loan programs. All of

547
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 8: these are things we're trying to cut back. And they

548
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 8: had their massive regulations on energy and the subsidies that

549
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 8: were going out to all the companies for the solar

550
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 8: panels and wind farms. All of that added up to

551
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 8: that bloat. That's why we're fighting to cut that in reconciliation.

552
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, a final one on all this stuff, and

553
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: I'll let you go. Thank you for your time to

554
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: day chip the defense stuff we keep getting told at

555
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: least border defense, I'm talking about that. Everything we need,

556
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: everything Trump needs, everything he's requesting, is in these bills, well,

557
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: for the most part, everything to get the border secure.

558
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: So I guess I'll just go ahead and go with that.

559
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: My question is, you know Trump was well on his

560
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: way to securing the border. It pretty much had after

561
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: the end of the last time, and the Biden administration

562
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: went in and promptly started suing so they didn't have

563
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: to secure the border.

564
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 2: If god forbid, we get.

565
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: Another Democrat president in twenty twenty eight, aren't they just

566
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: going to stop it, whether it's the law or not

567
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: the law.

568
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 8: Well, that's when you have an administration that didn't care

569
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 8: about the rule of law, as was the Biden administration.

570
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 8: Then that is a clear concern. It is why we

571
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 8: need to go beyond where President Trump is currently doing,

572
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 8: which is awesome, what Tom Homan is doing, which is awesome,

573
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 8: which is to apply the law, stop the flow, put

574
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 8: pressure on Mexico, build walls, apply you know Title forty

575
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 8: two policies, remain in Mexico, all of the.

576
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: Stuff they're doing.

577
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 8: Suddenly the apprehensions are dropped down to six thousand a

578
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 8: month instead of over six thousand a day. It's not

579
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 8: rocket science. But here's the problem in the first part

580
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 8: of the Trump administration. Remember all the unaccompanied kids, Remember

581
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 8: how they were doing that and they got in Jeffstash

582
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 8: and all the crap that happened with the kids, the families. Well,

583
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 8: we're gonna have to pass laws so that we can't

584
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 8: allow Democrats to abuse those policies, or even allow cartels

585
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 8: and NGOs to abuse those policies. Titan asylum, Titan parole, Titan,

586
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 8: how the unaccompanied children are treated. We've got to be

587
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 8: more forceful on that. That was what we put in

588
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 8: HR two. Remember our bill last Congress, not the current

589
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 8: HR two, but last Congress is HR two That was

590
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 8: our good border bill. We need to pass that, but

591
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 8: we're gonna have seven Democrats in the Senate. We're gonna

592
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 8: have to get through and use leverage to try to

593
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 8: do it if we want permanent chain.

594
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: Congressman as always, thank you, sir. I appreciate it, all right.

595
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: Sean Spicer joins us in a few before we get

596
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: to Sean, you know, you know how long I slept

597
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: last night. I'm not making this up. You even think

598
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm lazy. It's eight thirty or so. I just got

599
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: kind of tired, and I knew I had big week

600
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: this week. So I decided I was gonna make myself

601
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: cup hot chocolate and I put dream powder from Beam

602
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: in it. That's what it is, mine, cinnamon chocolate. And

603
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: I just about eight thirty last I sip on this

604
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: cup of hot chocolate.

605
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: I went in and I went to sleep. You know

606
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 2: when I woke up this morning.

607
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: Nine o'clock, twelve hours of sleep, and I woke up

608
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: feeling so freaking good. That's what happens when you have

609
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: dream powder from Beam, you just sleep like a row.

610
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't remember last time I slept that long. Gosh,

611
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: I slept so freaking good. I feel amazing when I

612
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: experienced that up to forty percent off at shopbeam dot

613
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,600

615
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 9: We?

616
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: You know, we went an election and presidential administration four

617
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: years long in this country, and we think to ourselves, nice,

618
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: things are going well, things are going really well. But

619
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: we don't have that much time. We don't even have

620
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: four years. We don't even have three and a half

621
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: years because the midterms cometh. Now, where is the big

Speaker 2: Joining me now?

624
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: Sean Spicer, host of The Sean Spicer Show, who has

625
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: been all over this very thing. Sean, the clock is ticking,

626
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: isn't it?

627
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: My friend?

628
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 3: It is ticking.

629
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 10: And I think what one president taketh one can take away.

630
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 10: We saw that after the first Trump administration, Joe Biden

631
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 10: undoing all of these great things, and then President Trump

632
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 10: undoing all the Biden's things and getting things done on

633
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 10: a front. And so my point is, look, we have

634
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 10: a Republican Congress, we have a Republican Senate, we have

635
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 10: President Trump. Lock it in, get this done on things

636
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 10: like immigration. We have talked for decades about what we

637
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 10: would do to fix all this stuff. Don't leave that

638
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 10: open to another potential president. I'mdoing right now. We've seen

639
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 10: what can happen. And part of the reason that the

640
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 10: courts are looking at stopping some of his doze efforts

641
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 10: is because of the law. So what we need to

642
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 10: do is on things like immigration, codify this thing in law,

643
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 10: make sure that a future democratic president can't undo things.

644
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 10: And that's the point, Jesse, is that like, I don't

645
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 10: want to look back in two years and say, you know, hey,

646
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 10: look at this House majority is two seats, three seats,

647
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 10: depending on what day of the week it is.

648
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to look back.

649
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 10: And say I wish we had done X, because right

650
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 10: now we don't need them, we don't need to deal

651
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 10: with them.

652
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 3: We can do some of this through reconciliation.

653
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 10: We've talked about visas, ice agents, administration judges for you know,

654
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 10: administrative judges, Like, let's not regret looking back in eighteen

655
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 10: months and saying I wish we had locked in a

656
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 10: few of those wins.

657
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: Okay, well, Sean, then what's the hold up?

658
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: And I understand DC never moves as fast as you

659
00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: or I would like it to move.

660
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 2: Right now, when watching I get that we don't live

661
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: in the.

662
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: A system with the king where he can just have

663
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: things passed by decree.

664
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 2: But what is the hold up?

665
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: Sean, It has been a couple months now, and when

666
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: supposedly Mike Johnson's on board and Mike and John Thune's.

667
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 3: On board, what's the hold up? Well, so there's two issues.

668
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 3: There's the big beautiful bill that we keep talking about,

669
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 3: and then there's locking in some other wins.

670
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 10: And the problem is that, I mean, there is there

671
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 10: is an element of like, look when you talk about

672
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 10: locking in all these tax cuts from twenty seventeen that

673
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 10: are going to expire, adding no tax and tips, adding

674
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 10: no tax on social security, energy, border immigration, there is

675
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 10: an element of time that takes that. And what I

676
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 10: mean by that is in order to quote pay for

677
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 10: the tax cuts through this process that we call reconciliation, you.

678
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 3: Have to have certain offsets. And so that means that they.

679
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 10: Tell other committees go find these savings, lock in some

680
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 10: of the things that Dose has done in others. So

681
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 10: you know, somebody came to you and said, hey, I

682
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 10: need you to save you know, twenty billion, Maybe you

683
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 10: could do it in a couple of days or a

684
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 10: couple weeks. But you're asking a bunch of committees to

685
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 10: go find stuff in their jurisdiction. I will give them this.

686
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 10: It's moving faster than I actually thought. But it's also

687
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 10: beyond this, Jesse. We're talking about the Reconciliation Bill, but

688
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 10: there's also other stuff that doesn't fit in the Reconciliation

689
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 10: It's a very wonky thing, this whole Reconciliation Bill about

690
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 10: what's allowed in and what's allowed out because it only

691
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 10: takes fifty votes in the Senate. So I'm actually talking

692
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 10: also going beyond this and saying there's stuff that can't

693
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 10: fit in the Reconciliation Bill because of the nature of

694
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 10: the parliamentary nature of what this is, which is all

695
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 10: inside the baseball crap. But the reality is that if

696
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 10: we don't lock in some of this immigration reform that

697
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 10: we've been talking about, that we're in the future going

698
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 10: to have to be negotiating with Democrats about how many

699
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 10: Dreamers do we give citizenship to and how many people

700
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 10: do we allow to stay in this country that came

701
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 10: in illegally. We need to lock in everything before any

702
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 10: potential loss of a majority.

703
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: Dreamers bar All right, So Jean, let's assume I think

704
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: historically politically, we can assume this safely, that this is

705
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: really a one shot. Really, presidents get about one you know,

706
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: Joe Biden got the IRA age, Barack Obama got Obamacare.

707
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a one shot. Is this enough

708
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: to move the Trump agenda forward for four years?

709
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 2: Okay?

710
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 3: So it's not no, no, no, no, okay. Will it

711
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 3: be signature?

712
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 2: Sure?

713
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 10: This is massive, But I also think that that's sort

714
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 10: of like you know, an athlete saying I got one

715
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 10: home run, Like now am I done for the season.

716
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 10: I think the way that President Trump is going, like

717
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 10: you said, this right at the at the forefront of.

718
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 3: This time is ticking. Let's do it.

719
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 10: Let's just get as much done as possible. So will

720
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 10: this big, beautiful bill be awesome? Yeah, I'm excited about it,

721
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 10: but it's like you cannot then the clock keeps going,

722
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 10: and it's not just four years. I mean, look, when

723
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 10: you have a razor thin majority. And I don't mean

724
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 10: to be you know, doomsday here, but who knows? Somebody

725
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 10: could you know, resign for a variety of health or

726
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 10: personal reasons whatever. I don't want to put it to chance.

727
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 10: Get something else. Queued up on immigration, so that we're

728
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 10: ready to go, because, as I said, because of this

729
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 10: Parliamentary Gobbly book, there's only so much that you can

730
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 10: actually do legislatively in that bill. So if you want

731
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 10: visa reform, if you want to talk about the immigration

732
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 10: courts and what the reform is, or how many people

733
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 10: we let are getting back to a merit based system,

734
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 10: then we need to do that legislatively outside of reconciliation.

735
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: Sean, I'm gonna play you this clip from Joe Walsh

736
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: because it really begs an important question about the midterm

737
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: THREEI was.

738
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 11: I couldn't help a notice your head nodding there throughout that.

739
00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 11: I'm just gonna let you address that those scenarios from

740
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 11: the two hundred and fifty dollars bill to Mount Rushmore

741
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 11: to oh, a third Trump term.

742
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 9: It's too easy to have fun with this, but Michael,

743
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 9: this is scary. Trump's what seventy eight, seventy nine years old.

744
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 9: I have no doubt that if Trump could, he would

745
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 9: try to run again. I think, Michael, the biggest failure

746
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 9: of all of us during this Trump era has been

747
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 9: the failure of imagination.

748
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: We haven't just we have not imagined how bad and

749
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: how low you'd go.

750
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 9: He tried to overthrow an American election four years ago.

751
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 9: I have no doubt that he could try to stop

752
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 9: the midterm elections. If he's physically able, he may try

753
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 9: to run again in twenty eight.

754
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 2: This is really scary, okay, Sean. I look at the

755
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 2: Democrat Party's approval numbers. It's amazingly bad.

756
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, look at these freaks. There are approven

757
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: numbers are in the toilet. Trump just put out something

758
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: this morning. His are a fifty seven per cents, very

759
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: very freaking good for a modern day pres it in. So,

760
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: explain to me, like I'm a moron, why I should

761
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: be worried about the midterms at all.

762
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, the idea that Joe Walsh, the

763
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 10: former congressman from Illinois who is basically kicked out of

764
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 10: the Republican Party and the Democrats and the left called

765
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 10: him I forgot if it was I forgot if his

766
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 10: sin was racism or just nuttiness. Now he's welcomed back

767
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 10: in because he hates Trump. Is just tells you everything

768
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 10: you need to know about the Democratic Party. And then,

769
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 10: by the way, at least he's on television talking because

770
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 10: most of these Democrats are doing TikTok dances as their

771
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 10: form of opposition. But the reason I care is because

772
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 10: when you have a thin majority, like I said today,

773
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 10: it's one seat or two seats. We'll have two special

774
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 10: elections in Florida in the next couple of weeks that

775
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 10: I'll get us back to four. Then at least Stephonic

776
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 10: steps down that I'll get effect onto three. Then they'll

777
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 10: be her special. When anything's that close, there's just there's

778
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 10: a there's a margin for errors. So that's why I care.

779
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 10: I'm a nervous guy, Jesse. I don't know about I

780
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 10: don't have you know, the the thick skin that you have.

781
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 10: I get nervous. Until you can give me a twenty

782
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 10: seat majority or a fifty seat majority.

783
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: I get nervous.

784
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 10: And what I don't want is to wake up and say, well,

785
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 10: I wish we had done X and I saw. The

786
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 10: reason that I'm nervous is that last time when Trump

787
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 10: was in office, he lost the House majority, and what

788
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 10: did they do? Impeachment impeachment, impeachment hearing after hearing after hearing.

789
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 10: They're not looking to work with them, they're not looking

790
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 10: to get an agenda pass. They're looking to wreak havoc.

791
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 10: And my point is that and the other thing is

792
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 10: just bottom line is that if you actually care about

793
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 10: them mid terms, then put points on the board, get

794
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 10: things done for the American people, cut their taxes, secure

795
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 10: the border, make us energy independent because people will reward

796
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 10: the politicians that are on the right side of issues.

797
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 10: So my point is, get stuff done, put points on

798
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 10: the board, solve America's problems, get re elected. But until

799
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 10: and when that happens and we can see them, I

800
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 10: get nervous and say, why would you put off? You know,

801
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 10: it's like my mom always just to tell me, why

802
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 10: put on today?

803
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 3: Which tomorrow? Which you can do today?

804
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 10: And so I'm like, guys, don't the more you do

805
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 10: on the agenda, the more likely you are to get reelected,

806
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 10: because the American people will reward you.

807
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: John, what's the Naval Academy board of visitors?

808
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 2: And why in the world would they welcome somebody like you?

809
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, God, you must be watching local news.

810
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 10: So the uh, the the Naval Academy board is like

811
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 10: any other board of directors or you know, every college

812
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 10: has one. And so the president, the House Speaker and

813
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 10: a couple other people can appoint members to the Board

814
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 10: of Visitors to the Naval Academy. I served on this

815
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 10: during Trump's first term and then Joe Biden fired myself,

816
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 10: Ronnie Jackson, and everybody for the first time in history.

817
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 3: And I sued the case called Spicer v.

818
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 10: Biden, and the court affirmed that the president has the

819
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 10: absolute authority to fire anyone he wants. So what President

820
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 10: and it Trump did when he got back in office,

821
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 10: he fired them all. And he was kind enough and

822
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 10: honored me by reappointing me to the Naval Academy Board

823
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 10: on Friday night, along with Ronnie Jackson, one of his

824
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 10: longtime aids, Walton Malta, and badass Navy seal named Derek

825
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 10: Van Orden, who represents Wisconsin in the House Representative. So

826
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 10: I figured a marine like you would know, but you

827
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 10: never You never cease to amaze.

828
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 3: Me, you guys. You know, you just sort of say,

829
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 3: where am I going? Who do I shoot at?

830
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 2: Derek is good people, Sean.

831
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: More importantly, I have never actually set foot on the

832
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: hollowed grounds of Annapolis. Most definitely, I could never have

833
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: gotten into that place now, And not that I have

834
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: any interest, not that I have any interest in seeing

835
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: any of you sailors, But there are some young aspiring

836
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: Marines on that campus.

837
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 2: Can you hook me up with some tickets or something?

838
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:52,479
Speaker 2: Can I go to something?

839
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 3: I think, well, yeah, I think we'll make We'll make

840
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 3: room for you. I think we can do that. And

841
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 3: they do allow the option for those kids to go marine.

842
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: Saw I congratulating, Oh before I let you go real quick,

843
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: Did Joe Biden screw up with his tyrannical control of

844
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: things like the Kennedy Center?

845
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 3: Well, that's why I mentioned.

846
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 10: This is just so funny that when I filed the lawsuit,

847
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 10: the media kept saying you lost, and I said, did I?

848
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 10: Because the whole goal my term was over in forty

849
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 10: nine days when he fired me and Ronnie Jackson and

850
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 10: hr McMaster from the West Point Board.

851
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 3: The goal was we made them go to court.

852
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 10: And then so when President Trump fired everybody on all

853
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 10: these commissions, including the Kennedy Center, all these guys said

854
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 10: we can't fight back because of Spicer v.

855
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 3: Biden.

856
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 10: It gave President Trump the authority, not that he probably

857
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 10: would have cared anyway, but at least he had the

858
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 10: court authority to fire everybody. So it's pretty cool to

859
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 10: be small part of history.

860
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: That's freaking cool.

861
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: Spicer versus Biden, Sean, my brother, appreciate you see you soon.

862
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: All right, light in the mood next, all right, it

863
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: is time to lighten the mood. And I thought, you know,

864
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: we're not in Congress.

865
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 2: I'm not in there. You're not in there. I'm not

866
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 2: walking those halls.

867
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 1: And there's something we miss when we look at things

868
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: on the television or social media.

869
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 2: We miss the smell.

870
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: George Santos was asked, have you ever wondered who smells

871
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: the worst? Someone asked George Santos, who it is?

872
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 5: Here? It was?

873
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 12: I can see this, no mental reservation. Sure, the worst

874
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 12: body odor in Congress is definitely Jerry Nadler. And Jerry

875
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 12: Ladler would waddle down that aisle of crop gust it

876
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 12: like like it was every step of his wattle was

877
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 12: a fart. But dude, the do you just stink?

878
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like Jerry Nadler. You mean to tell

879
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: me that Jerry Nadler who pooped his pants us on TV?

880
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 4: He spells work on this subject not part of this package,

881
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 4: but part of preserving our democracy.

882
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 3: But that I'm pleased to yield to the distinguished.

883
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 2: Chair I'll see them up h
