00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: it should guarantee your district. I mean, you worked hard

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: for New York, right, and you're on television. I'm on television,

4
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: so this should be good for a couple of points.

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: But without you and your couple of friends from New York,

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have happened.

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,520

27
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,039

55
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: of Gemini, but they have the whole. They have a

56
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: lot of things, actually, but Gemini is just the one

57
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: for today, right. They've got the they've got the look,

58
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: they've got the genius, got plenty of cash and it's

59
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: great that you're on our side. You guys are great.

60
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: I can never tell them apart, but their mother can't.

61
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: I ask, can your mother tell you a part? And

62
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: the answer is yes easily? Or is it tough for her?

63
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: I figure good. You guys have been great, Thank you

64
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: very much. Great to be with you.

65
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Let me say, the entire crypto community, for years you

66
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: were mocked and dismissed and counted out. You were counted

67
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: out as little as a year and a half ago.

68
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: But this signing is a massive validation. And even before

69
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: this signing, over the last year year and a half,

70
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: I think yourself has gone up more than any stock,

71
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: or just about more a couple of stocks that were

72
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: pretty good, I will say, but you have certainly as

73
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: an industry, gone up more than anybody. Nobody's gained the

74
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: respect in such a short period of time. But this

75
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: signing is a massive validation of your hard work and

76
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: your pioneering spirit and your ability to never give up,

77
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: because a lot of people would have given up two

78
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: three years ago. So I want to thank you for

79
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: contributing to the incredible strength of America. This is going

80
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: to make it stronger. And congratulations on this incredible achievement.

81
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: You've made our dollar look really good and strong and powerful.

82
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 1: It's good for the dollar and it's good for the country.

83
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: And that's why I backed you at an early stage.

84
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: And I also did it for the votes, because you

85
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: did come out and vote I want and they changed UNE.

86
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: You know, Biden's team, they changed tune right in the

87
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: middle of the campaign, all of a sudden, they loved

88
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: you guys. They dropped all charges have I got you

89
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: guys out of so much trouble. And you know what,

90
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody voted for him, right because you remember,

91
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: you remember they were very they treated you very unfairly.

92
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: Actually, So that's a.

93
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: Great honor that we were involved, and it was it

94
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: was a tremendous amount of support that we got at

95
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: the polls. We won, I think of it. We won

96
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: every swing state. We won by millions of votes. We

97
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: won the popular vote. We won the districts by two thousand,

98
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty. Think of that to five oh

99
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: five different districts too. By the way, every once in

100
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: a while that number can change, but it doesn't changed

101
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: by much. The map was almost totally read. And you

102
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: guys were with us right from the beginning. Exactly one

103
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: year ago this month, many of you were with me

104
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: in Nashville, Tennessee.

105
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: Do you remember that day, right, I was a big

106
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: day in Nashville.

107
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Tennessee when we became and I became the first presidential

108
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: candidate ever to address the Bitcoin conference and at this time,

109
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 1: and at that time, crypto builders and founders were under

110
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: relentless assault by the Biden administration, which was trying to

111
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: crush your industry and crush you as people and go

112
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: after your families. And they were a vicious group of people.

113
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: You know, people don't realize that they were vicious. Incompetent,

114
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: but vicious. Well, Joe was an incompetent guy, but he

115
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: was always known as a vicious guy.

116
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: I guess if you're going to be in that, you

117
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: probably are.

118
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: If they're incompetent, is better, right, because you don't want

119
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: to have a vicious guy that's competent.

120
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: If you did, I wouldn't be standing here today.

121
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: But I pledged that we would bring back American liberty

122
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: and leadership and make the United States crypto capital of

123
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: the world.

124
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: And that's what we've done.

125
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: And under the Trump administration, this is only going further.

126
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: You're going to do really well.

127
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so proud of what you've done in

128
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of years and very important. On day one,

129
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: I remember I did this, and I said this, and

130
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: I mentioned this name, and I got the.

131
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: Greatest applause of the whole campaign. We fired Joe Biden's

132
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: sec chair Gary Gensler. We fired him.

133
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: But I remember I was making a speech and you know,

134
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: it was just a line and speech, and I said,

135
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: and I will fire Gary against the place exploded, I said,

136
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: I finished one, and I said, what the hell did

137
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: that guy do?

138
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: There was there was there's a lot of hatred there,

139
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: I'll tell you.

140
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: And it turned out as I got familiar with everything,

141
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: it turned out you were absolutely right in his place.

142
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: I appointed a visionary chairman who wants America to build

143
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: the future and not block the future. He's going to

144
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: be unbelievable. He'll go down as one of the greats.

145
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: And Paul Atkins were are you Paul Atkins? And you

146
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: know that Paul? The crypto guys, they said, everybody said,

147
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: not only crypto, every inn.

148
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: They all wanted Paul for the position.

149
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: And he's a tough cookie too, he's just but they

150
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: actually said, we don't care. We just think he's fair.

151
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: All they wanted was fairness. And they have somebody that

152
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: you're really a champion of the street and you're a

153
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: champion of the country.

154
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: You're gonna do a fantastic job.

155
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: So you interviewed the other night I watched it about

156
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: two o'clock in the morning. There was a little thing

157
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: called Sea Span, which I don't know how many people

158
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: were watching. Don't worry you were in primetime too, but

159
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: they happen to have a little real I don't want

160
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: to embarrass you, but a fantastic job. Really, you are

161
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: absolutely so perfect for the job. Congratulations Paul, and Paul

162
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: is here today among the commissioners, various commissioners, including Hester

163
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: Pierce and Mark Yoita Hesta and Mark Yoda. Thank you, Hester,

164
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: thank you very much, and thank you Mark. Wherever you

165
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: may be, it's Mark here. Oh stand up, Mark, I

166
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: didn't good. Thank you, good job.

167
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: Good. I'm glad I gave you a second crack.

168
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: You didn't here because of the thunderous applause for Hester,

169
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: but thank you. I heard tremendous things about both of you.

170
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.

171
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: My first week in office, I also established the first

172
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: ever Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets, and we have

173
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: an executive director, Wiz Bohinz bohins Hi Bou. And Bou

174
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: was a great football player, right, Beau was a great

175
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: football player, one of the better players in college football.

176
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: So I know you from that.

177
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: Also say who would think that I know that I

178
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: know a lot of things, bou But he was a

179
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: champion player. I stopped the weaponization of government against crypto

180
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: and bitcoin, and we ended the lawless operation Choke point

181
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: two point zero.

182
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 2: That was a bad operation.

183
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: And I kept my promises to the community and granted

184
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: a full presidential pardon to ross Albrecht ross albrit And

185
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: you have no idea how important that name became. It

186
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: was like a symbol, and his mother was unbelievable. His

187
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: mother was an unbelievable woman, but it was so important

188
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: to a certain group of people. And in the truly

189
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: momentous act last March, I signed an executive order establishing

190
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: the US Strategic Bitcoin in Reserve as well as the

191
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: United States Digital Asset Stockpile.

192
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: And that's all signed up.

193
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: With today's signing, we're pushing even further into the exciting

194
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: new frontier, just as I promised last year. The Genius

195
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: Act creates a clear and simple regulatory framework to establish

196
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: and unleash the immense promise of dollar backed stable coins.

197
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: This could be perhaps the greatest revolution and financial technology

198
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: since the birth of the Internet itself. A lot of

199
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: people are saying that I don't know what do you

200
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: guys think. Yes, If you say yes, I'm saying yes.

201
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: I think it's great.

202
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: That you're involved.

203
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: I will tell you many Americans are unaware that behind

204
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: the scenes, the technical backbone of the financial system is

205
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: decades out of date, many many years out of date.

206
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: You know that Paul and others are straightening it out,

207
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: but payments and money transfers are costly and take days

208
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: even weeks to clear. Under this bill, the entire ancient

209
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: system will be eligible for a twenty first century upgrade

210
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: using the state of the art crypto technology.

211
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 2: Who would have thought we would have been saying that

212
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: two years after I really met you for the first time.

213
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 1: The Genius Act provides banks, businesses, and financial institutions a

214
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: framework for issuing crypto assets fact one for one with

215
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: real US dollars, treasury bills, and other cash equivalents. It's

216
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: really strengthening the dollar and giving the dollar great prominence.

217
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: And you know you have this little group called Bricks.

218
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: It's fading out fast, but Bricks is they wanted to

219
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: try and take over the dollar, the dominance of the

220
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: dollar and the standard of the dollar. And I said,

221
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: anybody that's in the Bricks Consortium of Nations. We're going

222
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: to tear a few ten percent. And they had a

223
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: meeting the following day and almost nobody showed up.

224
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 2: They leave me alone.

225
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: We didn't want to, They didn't want to be after

226
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: the it's amazing. Now we're not going to let the

227
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: dollar slide. If we have a smart president. You're never

228
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy,

229
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: that could happen like the last one. He would if

230
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: you ever asked him about the dollar slider, he would

231
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: have no idea.

232
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: But we can't let that ever happen again.

233
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: Consumers, vendors, and people all over the world will then

234
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: be able to use those stable coins for ultra low

235
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: cost transactions that are cleared and settled in a matter

236
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: of seconds rather than weeks and months. And that's really

237
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: an amazing thing. And with the privacy, flexibility and decentralization

238
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: of cash, this revolution as the potential to supercharge American

239
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: economic growth and empower billions of people to save and

240
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: transfer in US dollars.

241
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: It's really all backed by the dollars.

242
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: It's really a great thing and a lot of you know,

243
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: we had a lot of Democrat support I have to

244
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: tell you that I was shocked anytime you get one.

245
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: But we had a tremendous amount of Democrat support, which

246
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: we appreciate it, which just.

247
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: Shows you that you're doing the right thing.

248
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: This will increase demand for US Treasury's lower interest rates

249
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: and secure the dollars status as the world's reserve currency

250
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: for generations to come. The reserve currency is so important,

251
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, if we lost that, that would be like

252
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: losing a world war. We can never let anyone play

253
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: games with us. And that's why when I heard about

254
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: this group from Bricks six countries, basically I hit them

255
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: very very hard. And if they ever form, if they

256
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: ever really form in a meaningful way, it will end

257
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: very quickly.

258
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: I will tell you. For them, they won't be gone

259
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: very long. I don't think they'll even do it. They're

260
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: virtually afraid to meet.

261
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: I also remain fully committed to my pledge never to

262
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: allow the creation of a central bank digital currency in America.

263
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: It won't happen. My first.

264
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: Thank you and the other night, I will say, with

265
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: some of the congress men and women, they wanted that

266
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: so badly, that was so important to them.

267
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: You know, I was impressed that they knew what the

268
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: hell it was. To be honest with you, please, sir, please,

269
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: the Central Bank digital currency. Well, you have to make sure.

270
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: And I'm saying, what do you know about that? It's

271
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: amazing the knowledge that people have gained all of a sudden.

272
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: We have a lot of problems with some of them.

273
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: I said, we've already got it from the FED, right

274
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: from commerce and from an executive order.

275
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: You don't need it a fourth time. Sure we have

276
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: to get it.

277
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: That's amazing. But they knew their subject. That isn't there, huh?

278
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: And we helped them out. My first week in office,

279
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: I signed an executive vord to ban the creation of

280
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: a cb DC in the United States, and very soon

281
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: I look forward to signing legislation that will codify and

282
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: ban the make it a permanent law, put it in permanence.

283
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm also committed to signing landmark crypto market structural legislation

284
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,239
Speaker 1: this year to grow the industry.

285
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: We're going to be.

286
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: Growing it even more more than people ever thought. It's

287
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: a really hot industry.

288
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: And for a little while two nights ago, we were

289
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: a little concerned because we were a little short about

290
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: like I would say, maybe we were about nine short,

291
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: nine short at three in the morning. We were about

292
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: four short at three point thirty in the morning, and

293
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: we were in good shape at four o'clock in the morning. Right.

294
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: But the people and few people have fought harder for

295
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: the build and we're signing than some of the people

296
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: here today. You have been unbelievable. It's our white house.

297
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: AI and Cryptos are David Sachs, who's done such a

298
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: great job.

299
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: And I did his. I did his. He had a

300
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: he has a show now. I've become a showman.

301
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: But a couple of years ago, it's probably two years

302
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: ago now in San Francisco.

303
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: And I did his show and I heard his very

304
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: smart guy and we.

305
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: Had a great show. You've kept it going a lot

306
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: longer and you got is that still your highest rated

307
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: ever show? He knows what they say. He knows what

308
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: He had a rating that he had millions and millions

309
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: of people.

310
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: He said, what's going on?

311
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: But we had a we had a great show, and

312
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: they said, you know, that guy's really smart. I said,

313
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: if I get elected I was running at that time,

314
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: if I get elected, we're going to bring him into

315
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: government in some way.

316
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: He's worth a fortune he's made a lot of money.

317
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: He's a very rich he's a very rich billionaire. But

318
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: this is more important, doesn't it. This is me too,

319
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, doesn't matter, this is much. I

320
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: know Howard and I talk about it all the time.

321
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: Howard could go back to his wonderful brokerage from hire

322
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: one or two people. And it's not the same as

323
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: it's that the same as.

324
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: What you're doing, right, the biggest we're doing the biggest

325
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 2: deals in the world. Actually, the deal we're doing now

326
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 2: in tariffs is the biggest. When you edit up the

327
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: biggest deal ever made in history, it could be a

328
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: thousand ibms.

329
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think of it, it's the biggest

330
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: deal ever done. So it's hard to go back to

331
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: a brokerage firm and you know, make seventy nine thousand

332
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: dollars commission on.

333
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: The stale of a soak. That's true. But I want

334
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: to ask David.

335
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: So, David's been fantastic, He's done an incredible job.

336
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: And I'd like to ask David come up say a

337
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: few words. Thank you very much, Thank you so much.

338
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 3: All right, thank you President Trump. It's a great, great

339
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: honor to be here, and It's true that I'd never

340
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 3: expected to work in government at all, and then everything

341
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: changed after President Trump came on my podcast, and I,

342
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 3: you know, I accepted this job as cryptos orber because

343
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: I thought it was a once in a lifetime opportunity

344
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: to work for a president who really wants to get

345
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 3: things done for the American people. And if anything, that's

346
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 3: been an understatement. The first six months this administration have

347
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 3: been more successful than any administration in American history. What's

348
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: been done, It's just been incredible. President Trump has worked

349
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: at tech speed. We're used to working fast in Silicon Valley,

350
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 3: but even this is fast for us in Silicon Valley.

351
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 3: With the speed at which you move, President Trump's really incredible.

352
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 3: And now today you have another historic legislative achievement that

353
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 3: is a monumental step to fulfilling your promise to making

354
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 3: the United States a.

355
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: Crypto capital of the world.

356
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: This Genius Act will unlock American dominance in the crypto

357
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: industry by creating clear rules of the road. It will

358
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: update archaic payment rails with a revolutionary new payment system,

359
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 3: and it will extend US dollar dominance, like you said,

360
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 3: globally by creating a digital dollar that people all over

361
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 3: the world can use, and for every digital dollar in

362
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 3: a crypto wallet, there'll be a traditional dollar in a

363
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: US bank account, which will create trillions of dollars demand

364
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 3: for US Treasury. So that is the hour of this

365
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 3: bill as us to all their dominance. This is a

366
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 3: huge promise made and promise capped by President Trump. And

367
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 3: there's just a few other people I'd like to thank.

368
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: First my family for being here, Thank you, and Bo Hines,

369
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: who President Trump mentions the director of our Crypto Council.

370
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: He really did the heavy lifting here, so Bo, I

371
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 3: just want to thank you again. And my Chief is

372
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: staff Tracy Johnson as well, who also does the heavy lifting.

373
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: And Bill Haggerty and French Hill and all the congressman

374
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 3: centators who have already been mentioned by President Trump. So

375
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 3: I'll save the time, but it has really been an

376
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: honor to work with all of you. This was really

377
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 3: a team effort. But most of all, I want to

378
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 3: thank President Trump for accomplishing what nobody thought was possible.

379
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 3: And it's true that just earlier this week the media

380
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 3: was reporting that this bill was dead. This bill was dead,

381
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 3: and then the media didn't know one thing that we

382
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: had a secret weapon. We have a deal maker in

383
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: chief and thanks to President he stepped in and saved

384
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 3: this bill. And it's because of your vision, your leadership,

385
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 3: your determination, your skill that we're all here today.

386
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: So thank you very much, President Trump. Is that Laura,

387
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: please come just come here. This is our superstar.

388
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: She was the head of the Republican Party and nobody

389
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: complained about anything we wanted to great.

390
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: This is Laura Trump, married to a young.

391
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: Gentleman named Eric. They have beautiful two children. But she

392
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: has been so good. She stepped into that position like

393
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: it was nothing that we won. And she said, Dad,

394
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: I'd like to go home right now to my beautiful

395
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: husband and my son and daughter. Right But you did

396
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: a fantastic job. And you worked with a great gentleman too,

397
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: he's doing a fantastic job.

398
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: But I just want to thank you. I just so

399
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 2: you're standing back there, I wanted to bring her in.

400
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Laura. Thank you.

401
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: So under the Trump administration, I just got back from Saudi.

402
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: Arabia and we went to Qatar.

403
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: We went to a number of countries and I will

404
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: tell you the level of respect that this country has

405
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: now is incredible. The uae I tell you what. We

406
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: had a time there, but every leader said the same thing.

407
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: They said, one year ago, your country was dead, and

408
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: then say it that way. It was like, you know,

409
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know whether I was supposed to be happy

410
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: or insulted.

411
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: But the truth is we were in deep trouble.

412
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: But they said, one year ago your country was dead,

413
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: and today you have the hottest country anywhere in the world.

414
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 2: And it's true, we have the hottest country in the world.

415
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: We had a country where a laughing stock with the borders,

416
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: people pouring in. Can you imagine last month, in the

417
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: month of June, actually zero Now I don't even believe

418
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: that zero because you have hundreds of thousands pouring in

419
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: and then.

420
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 2: All of a sudden zero.

421
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: But they have it down a zero, and very liberal

422
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: people take that particular toll. It's a liberal group, so

423
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: then not giving us any favors. They had zero people

424
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: coming through a border. Can you imagine that from literally

425
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands and minions.

426
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: Pouring in from all over the world. They came from

427
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 2: they came from all over the world.

428
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: They came from prisons, jails, they came from mental institutions,

429
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: gang members, there were gangs, they came from all.

430
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 2: Over the place, from every country.

431
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: They came from the Congo in Africa, a lot from

432
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: the Congo. They came from South America, a lot of

433
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: came from Venezuela. They emptied their jails into our country.

434
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: Can you imagine they allowed that emptied their jails into

435
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: our country, and.

436
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 2: They let them walk right into our country.

437
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: Like perfect, eleven thousand, eight hundred and eighty eight committed murder.

438
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: Fifty percent committed more than one person. They murdered more

439
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: than one person fifty of eleven thousand and.

440
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: Eight eighty eight. And we had murderers, and we're getting

441
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: them out. And Tom Holman and Christy are doing a

442
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: great job. At Tom Holman, I'll tell you see central.

443
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 1: Casting a walk and he takes abuse, but they just

444
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: they just keep fighting and they're winning. And we're winning

445
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: in the court. So we're winning everywhere. But we've got

446
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: the hottest country in the world and you're a big

447
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: part of it. So the golden Age of America is

448
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: upon us.

449
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 2: And with today's signing, the future of crypto and the

450
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 2: crypto industry, the US dollar working together because they really

451
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 2: are hand in hand, is going to be stronger and

452
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: bigger and better than ever before.

453
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: And I just want to thank everybody, some tremendous people

454
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: in this room. And maybe when I sign, I'll ask

455
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: some of our great senators and Congressmen to come on up.

456
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: Some of the.

00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: we'll get onto the next battle.

460
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: Will win.

461
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,120

Speaker 4: I love collars. Yeah, you got it.

465
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: This is not an autopen by the way, which is

466
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: a big scandal. That were a Republican it would really

467
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: be a big scandal. But it is one of the

468
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: great scandals of our time.

469
00:25:52,920 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 4: Thank you very much, everybody.

470
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 5: Terrence Bates here, you've been watching President Trump sign the

471
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 5: fifteen eighty two Genius Act.

472
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 6: It is a cryptocurrency act.

473
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 5: And of course, as you saw a number of members

474
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 5: of Congress on site. House Speaker Mike Johnson was there,

475
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 5: the Vice President J. D.

476
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 6: Vance was there.

477
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 5: Also a number of Cabinet secretaries on hand for this signing.

478
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 5: President Trump still has a pretty busy day. He's got

479
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 5: some other that he's going to be doing here as

480
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 5: I look at the script here, there will be a

481
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 5: dinner with Republican senators tonight there at the White House

482
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 5: that he'll also be participating in. So this is one

483
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: of the many things that the President had on his

484
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 5: genda for today. We want to get you back to

485
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 5: some of the other big news of the day here

486
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 5: on America's Voice Live. Russia's Defence Ministry says that it

487
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 5: intercepted at least one hundred and forty three Ukrainian drones

488
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 5: in a massive overnight barrage that stretched into Thursday morning.

489
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 6: It marks the largest drone.

490
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 5: Strike on Russian territory since Ukraine launched one hundred and

491
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 5: sixty seven drones back on July eleventh. It also raises

492
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 5: new questions about the stability of Russia's air defenses as

493
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 5: the war there grinds on. Joining me now to discuss

494
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 5: is former Special Assistant to President Trump, Colonel Derrek Harvey.

495
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 6: Colonel Harvey, get to see you.

496
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 7: Great to be here at Karen's.

497
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 5: It's always a pleasure. It seems to me that the

498
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 5: big takeaway from all of this is that the war

499
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 5: between Russian Ukraine does not seem to be winding down,

500
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 5: despite the threats from President Trump that within fifty days

501
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 5: if no deal is made, he's going to impose serious

502
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 5: sanctions on Russia.

503
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 7: That's true Terrence. In fact, Moscow leadership across the board,

504
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 7: it has discounted what the President said, and you know,

505
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 7: they're digging in for the long haul, which is probably

506
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 7: to be expected given the strategic importance and the political

507
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 7: commitment that Putin and others have made with the Ukrainian gambit.

508
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 7: This is a slugfest, and you know, the type of

509
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 7: war there has changed. It's sort of like World War

510
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 7: One trench warfare, but with drones and Ukraine produced I

511
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 7: think last year almost two million drones, and about seventy

512
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 7: percent of the kills and strikes now on the front

513
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 7: are from drones.

514
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 5: While President Trump has said he doesn't want to see

515
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 5: any more bloodshed, either in Ukraine or in Russia, it

516
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 5: appears that when it comes to drone attacks or even

517
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 5: aerial attacks, Russia's air defenses are fairly weak. They're not

518
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 5: as stable as one might expect. Do you expect, then,

519
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 5: potentially that the Trump administration will ultimately furnish Ukraine with

520
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 5: more aerial more high tech aerial equipment to potentially fight

521
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 5: this war.

522
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 7: I think the focus is going to be on long

523
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 7: range ground to ground capabilities and air defense capabilities, probably

524
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 7: some movement towards increasing defense capabilities and technological advances in

525
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 7: regard to defensive operations against Russian drones, and that's going

526
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 7: to be the next major step in this iterative process

527
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 7: we have going on with this war, where drones are

528
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 7: like tanks were between World War One and the start

529
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 7: of World War Two, very dynamic and changing the art

530
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 7: of war, and drones are definitely doing that in this campaign.

531
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 5: So you do believe presidents in the administration when they

532
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 5: say that they will only supply defensive weapons do Ukraine

533
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 5: nothing else. I'm curious about the fact that Russia's air

534
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 5: capabilities or air defense capabilities seem to be somewhat compromised.

535
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 5: When you're talking about over one hundred jones being fired

536
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 5: in and many of them ultimately being intercepted. How much

537
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 5: of a concern should this be for Russia.

538
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 7: Well, it's a major concern for Russia, but for the

539
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 7: most part, the drones are not striking deep into Russian territory.

540
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 7: We've had some major operations that were quite so successful.

541
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 7: One of course, that hit seven strategic air bases that

542
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 7: may maintain the nuclear aircraft for Russia. That was quite

543
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 7: a blow and very creative. But overall, the drone combat is,

544
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 7: you know, within the operational envelope of the front lines,

545
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 7: you know, say one hundred miles on each side of

546
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 7: the front lines of you know, where major combat is occurring,

547
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 7: and it's very difficult for traditional air defense systems that

548
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 7: are targeting aircraft and bombers to shift to fighting low

549
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 7: flying drones that are being guided by operators.

550
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 5: Before I let you go, I'm just curious, from your

551
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 5: professional opinion, how long do you see this war continuing?

552
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 5: And I realize you don't have a crystal ball, you're

553
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 5: not in the rooms with the decision makers, but this

554
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 5: thing has lasted so long, and you know, at several

555
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 5: points we thought, okay, there may be a ceasefire, there

556
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 5: may be a peace deal, but no, we.

557
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 6: Are still fighting. Do you see an end in sight

558
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 6: at all?

559
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 7: Not in the immediate near term, and it probably is

560
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 7: going to go on for maybe a few more years.

561
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 7: That would be very unfortunate. But Russia is very dug

562
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 7: in on what their objectives are in the West, you know,

563
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 7: has been behind Ukraine, and now with President Trump and

564
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 7: the Administration's frustration with Putin's unwillingness to seriously engage, it

565
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 7: looks like we're both sides are digging in for the

566
00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 7: long haul.

567
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 5: Colonel, we'll have to leave it there. We appreciate you

568
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 5: being here with us this afternoon.

569

Speaker 6: Always a pleasure to talk with you.

Speaker 5: All right, folks, Well, if you're stressed about back taxes,

Speaker 5: five percent per month up to twenty five percent just

576
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:23,720

00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 5: fire crews are all on the scene.

600
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 6: Tampa, Florida.

601
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 5: What a great place to be in the summertime. Life

602
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 5: is a beach and I wish I was on one

603
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 5: right now. Thanks so much for being here with this

604
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 5: for America's Voice Live, I'm Terrence Bates. We're monitoring a

605
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 5: developing story out of Los Angeles where at least three

606
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 5: people are dead had one heard following an explosion at

607
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 5: Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department training facility. The blast happened

608
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 5: around seven thirty this morning. US Attorney General Pam Bondi

609
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 5: is confirming the death, saying that federal authorities responded to

610
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 5: the scene and are currently investigating what happened. The LA

611
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 5: City Fire Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and

612
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 5: Explosives has agents on site as well, along with the

613
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 5: LAPD bomb squad. While investigators are still trying to get

614
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 5: to the bottom of what happened, The La Times is

615
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 5: reporting a bomb squad was moving the explosive ordinance at

616
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 5: the facility when that blast happened. Employees describe hearing a

617
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 5: massive explosion followed by glass shattering and screaming. All of

618
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 5: this went down on a parking lot where the Sheriff's

619
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 5: bomb squad.

620
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 2: Keeps its vehicles.

621
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 5: While the Trump administration is continuing its crack down on

622
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 5: illegal immigration. Just before walking into the White House, borders are,

623
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 5: Tom Homan laid out the plan. We're going to.

624
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 8: Focus on SANCTUARYUS cities, make them priority. And why is

625
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 8: that because we know their problem. We know they're releasing

626
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 8: public safety threats every day. Because there's anxious city. They're

627
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,880

628
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 8: in Florida, for instance, So we can take resource from

629
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 8: no errors and put them in an area where we

630
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 8: know there's a problem. So I said, for weeks, we're

631
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 8: gonna flood the zone. It's anxious cities. You're gonna see

00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 8: give us a criminal amien the safety and security of

635
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 8: count of jail, then.

636
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,680

637
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 3: Pause.

638
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,160

642

643
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 5: months from the time and arrest is made to deportation,

644
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,400

Speaker 5: Good afternoon to you there. Always good to see the

691
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 5: island of Hawaii. What the recisions package clearing the votes

692
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 5: needed yesterday? American taxpayers and economists are closely watching to

693
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 5: see how these recisions affect the collective debt. Furthermore, this

694
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 5: recisions package will be a major point in the fiscal

695
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 5: year of twenty twenty six, which is a budgeting metric

696
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 5: used by the government as a sort of game plan

697
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 5: to assess what causes should be funded in America. And finally,

698
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 5: the package is expected to be s and by President

699
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 5: Trump at some point in time today or very soon.

700
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 5: And that bill, of course, promises to rescind over nine

701
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 5: billion dollars of previously allocated funds, notably a billion dollars

702
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 5: of that figure being taken from public broadcast sources like

703
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 5: NPR and PBS. Joining me now to talk about this

704
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 5: is the senior director of Government Affairs at the National

705
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 5: Taxpayers Union, That would be Tommy Iyello.

706
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 6: Tommy, welcome to the show.

707
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 9: Hi, good afternoon. Thanks for having me.

708
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 5: First of all, put into context for us how major

709
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 5: it is to have a recisions package like this.

710
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 6: Sign This is a once in a generation kind of thing.

711
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, it really is.

712
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 10: This is the first time that the House and Senate

713
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 10: have passed the Recisions bill. That's in thirty years. That

714
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 10: is an unbelievable statistic. The last time it happened was

715
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 10: under President Clinton. So we're really happy that the bill

716
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 10: was able to get across the finish line very early

717
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 10: this morning, and we're expecting the President to sign it

718
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 10: very soon.

719
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 5: You know, so much is going to be put on

720
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 5: the fact that nine billion dollars is being saved, But

721
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 5: is it is the figure important or is it more

722
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 5: important about the message that it sends that fraud, waste,

723
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 5: and abuse will not be tolerated and that it will

724
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 5: be refunded to the American tax payer.

725
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, anytime we're talking and taking action to save taxpayer

726
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 10: dollars is a good thing. So, yes, nine billion dollars

727
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 10: in the grand scheme of a two trillion dollar budget deficit,

728
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 10: it's not a lot of money, but at the end

729
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 10: of the day, it's a step in the right direction.

730
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 10: And you know, since the House passed the Recisions Bill

731
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 10: on June twelfth, we've added four hundred billion dollars to

732
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 10: our debt. That's eleven billion dollars a day, just a

733
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 10: new debt. So look, it's not a lot of money

734
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 10: in the grand scheme of things, But I'm really hopeful

735
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 10: that this could be the start of how we get

736
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 10: and restore fiscal sanity in the United States.

737
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 5: And more importantly, can this be a start of a

738
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 5: trend seeing more recision bills coming down the pike?

739
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that was the whole purpose of this

740
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 9: precisions bill. It was supposed to be a trial balloon.

741
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 10: The Administration sent it over to see if the House

742
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 10: and Senate or see you about saving money. Obviously they are,

743
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 10: so I'm really confident that on the other side of

744
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 10: the August recess, the Administration will send.

745
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 9: Many more packages. And the way we look.

746
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 10: At it is that's one part of a holistic approach

747
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 10: for how we get our fiscal house in order.

748
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 9: Recisions packages, economic.

749
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 10: Growth through tax cuts and deregulation, which was a major

750
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 10: part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, and then the

751
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 10: normal appropriations process that's happening right now. This is when

752
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 10: Congress decides where they're going to spend your money on

753
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 10: the different departments for the next fiscal year. So that

754
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 10: process is ongoing. I'm very confident and hopeful that the

755
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 10: Congress will spend less money next year than they did

756
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 10: this year. It's a small step, but taken together, it

757
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 10: can make a significant difference.

758
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 5: Tommy, you use the term holistic approach, which really caught

759
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 5: my attention because I would imagine that part of that

760
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 5: holistic approach is, yes, making sure that fraud, waste, and

761
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 5: abuse is not part of our system, but also cutting

762
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 5: spending and making sure that lawmakers, our b are fiscal

763
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 5: stewards of the taxpayer dollar.

764
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's exactly right.

765
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 10: And the way we're seeing right now in the Appropriations Committee,

766
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 10: chaired by Congressman Tom Cole of Oklahoma, they are moving

767
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 10: bills that spend less than last year, locking in a

768
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 10: lot of the DOGE cuts. You know, we're seeing that

769
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 10: for the Department of Energy Transportation and Department of Housing

770
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 10: and Urban Development, they're going to spend about ten billion

771
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 10: dollars less this year next year than this year. Of course,

772
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 10: we need sixty votes in the Senate to lock that in.

773
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 10: Hopefully the Democrats will play ball and save some money,

774
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 10: but we'll we'll have to see if they want to

775
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 10: play with us.

776
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,439
Speaker 5: And another part of this conversation is long term when

777
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 5: it comes to spending bills and that kind of thing. Unfortunately,

778
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 5: Congress has for too long kicked the can down the road, pass.

779
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 6: Crs and that kind of thing. Do you think this

780
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 6: sort of moved.

781
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 5: This victory, if you will, will inspire Congress to act

782
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 5: a bit more decisively when it comes to funding our government.

783
00:43:58,760 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 9: You know, I really hope.

784
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 10: So I mentioned that we're running a two trillion dollar

785
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 10: a year deficit. That is a significant amount of money,

786
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 10: and it's part of the reason we've gotten to about

787
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 10: thirty seven.

788
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 9: Trillion dollars in debt.

789
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 10: So one thing that we're looking at is one the

790
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 10: establishment of a physical commission to see one what are

791
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 10: the main drivers of debt and what are some bipartisan

792
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 10: solutions we can take to address it. And then two,

793
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 10: we should party like it's twenty nineteen again. We should

794
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 10: return to pre COVID spending levels. That means reducing discretionary

795
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 10: spending on things like the Department of Education, the military,

796
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 10: and all these other departments back to pre COVID levels,

797
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 10: which would save about four hundred billion dollars a year.

798
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 10: And of course we need to address some of the

799
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 10: entitlement spending that really is on autopilot, and that's the

800
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 10: main driver of our debt. That's Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.

801
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 5: You mentioned a fiscal commission. How would that work? How

802
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 5: do you envision that?

803
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 9: Sure, so, there's already been the legislation introduced in the

804
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 9: House that would say, hey, let's create a bipartisan commission.

805
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 9: Let's see one where we're spending our money? Where is

806
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 9: there way how can we tackle our deficits? So would

807
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 9: bring all these stakeholders to the table and they would

808
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 9: look at various solutions to address it, whether it's you know,

809
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 9: cutting spending, How can we reform entitlements, How can we

810
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 9: reform discretion or spending. They would come up with a solution,

811
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 9: a report, and Congress can take an up or down

812
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 9: vote on such a report.

813
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 10: We think that one takes the political nature of a

814
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 10: commission out of the process. That way, we can really

815
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 10: just focus on a handful of solutions that can structurally

816
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 10: reform how we spend money.

817
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 6: Sounds like a reasonable idea.

818
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 5: Do you see that floating with congress members or anyone

819
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 5: really on Capitol Hill. They like to make the decisions,

820
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,879
Speaker 5: particularly when it comes to spending our money on their own.

821
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, they love to spend money, but they're not so

822
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 10: keen on clawing back some of the money. And I

823
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 10: think that's what makes this Recisions package really so historic.

824
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 10: And of course it's nine billion dollars. It's you know,

825
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 10: how we devour a whale is one bat at a time.

826
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 10: And I'm very confident that we'll be able to see

827
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 10: more Decisions packages come through to the House in the

828
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 10: Senate and that will hold hopefully receive more support in

829
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 10: the coming months.

830
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 6: We shall see.

831
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 5: We'll obviously be monitoring here on Real America's Voice, Tommy Iela.

832
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 5: We appreciate your time, Thank you, Thank you well, folks.

833
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 5: I realize that there are many choices when it comes

834
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 5: to who you choose for your cell phone service, and

835
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 5: there are also new ones that are popping up all

836
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:19,280
Speaker 5: the time.

837
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 6: But here's the truth.

838
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 5: There's only one that boldly stands in the gap for

839
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 5: every American that believes that freedom is worth fighting for,

840
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 5: and that would be Patriot Mobile. For more than twelve years,

841
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,360

Speaker 6: There it is on your screen.

862
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 5: What the Recisions Bill going to President Trump's desk to

863
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,959
Speaker 5: be signed? What board cuts would you like to see

864
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 5: the government make can't wait to hear what you say.

865
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 5: We are back with this story that indicates just how

866
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 5: great this country is. And this morning's what makes America

867
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 5: Wonderful segment, we want to introduce she to a young man.

868
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 6: Who really did something astonishing.

869
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 5: It comes to us from Everett, Washington, where a thirteen

870
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 5: year old boy pulled off a daring rescue of a

871
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 5: child who was submerged and drowning at Silver Lake. Gage

872
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 5: Brian as the young man's name. He was at the

873
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 5: lake with his aunt, and the outing seemed to be

874
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 5: going as any.

875
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 6: Normal family outing would go.

876
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 5: The trip quickly, though, called for immediate action, as an

877
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 5: attendee president at the lake that day informed everyone that

878
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 5: a little boy had gone into the water and.

879
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 6: Hadn't come back up.

880
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 5: Almost immediately, that little boy's mother frantically mentioned that the

881
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 5: boy couldn't swim without hesitation, though Gauge dove into the

882
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 5: murky water and swam underneath the dock to search for

883
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 5: the little boy who was drowning after getting tangled in

884
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 5: some seaweed. After some time, after some time submerged, Gage

885
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 5: was ultimately able to bring the boy up, and, even

886
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 5: after being out of breath, gave chest compressions to the

887
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 5: little boy before pant paramedics finally arrived to take over

888
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 5: the transport him to the hospital where the little boy

889
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 5: remain means.

890
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 6: In stable condition.

891
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 5: Gage's selfless actions and determination to save the boy that

892
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 5: day are great values to have, of course, especially for

893
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 5: his age, and they are also indicative of what makes

894
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 5: America wonderful and why we do these sorts of stories

895
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 5: every single day. All right, let's get to America's question

896
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 5: of the day. With the Recisions bill going to President

897
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 5: Trump's desk to be signed, what more cuts would you

898
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 5: like to see the government make? First of all, we

899
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 5: want to thank everyone for responding, Anita King Europe. First,

900
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 5: you right, I would appreciate seeing more help for our

901
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 5: veterans and active duty service members. When I see illegals

902
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 5: get more handed to them and less to our veterans,

903
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 5: it angers me so. And then there's jan daals Diello

904
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 5: who writes, good question, stop income tax and do a

905
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 5: flat tax. She says, thanks to each and every one

906
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 5: of you for responding, and thanks to you for being

907
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 5: here with us for America's Voice Live.

908
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 6: Have a great weekend.
