1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Iran is begging. That is the exact quote from President 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, proving that the US has the upper hand. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: President Trump made it crystal clear we the United States, 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: are in control, and Iran knows it. After weeks of 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: relentless pressure, military strikes, and economic consequences, President Trump has 6 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: now announced that he is giving Iran ten more days 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: to come to the table and make a deal. Not 8 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: because America is weak, not because we're desperate, because Iran is. 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: The President's saying that Iran's even offering up gifts. This 10 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: is just one example of how bad they want a deal. 11 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: They said, to show you the fact that we're real 12 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: and solid and we're there, We're gonna let you have 13 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: eight boats of oil, eight boats, eight big boats of oil. 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: This was two days ago, and they'll sail up tomorrow. 15 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: That three days ago. And I didn't think much about it. 16 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: And then I watched the news and they said a 17 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: very good anchor, actually happy to be Fox. But I 18 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: watched it and he said, something's unusual happening. There are 19 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 2: eight boats that are going right up the middle of 20 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: the Hormo Strait. Eight big tankers are going loaded up 21 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: with oil right through And I said, well, I guess, 22 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 2: I guess they were right, and they were real, and 23 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 2: I think they were Pakistani flagged. And I said, well, 24 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: I guess we're dealing with the right people. And actually 25 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 2: they then apologized for something they said, and they said, 26 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: we're going to send two more boats and it ended 27 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: up being ten bouts. And I hope I haven't screwed 28 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: up your negotiations. But I thought it was appropriate to say, 29 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 2: because I did taught you the other day by saying 30 00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: they're going to give us a present. 31 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: A president they gave and as the President said, there, 32 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: we're dealing with the right people in Iran is begging 33 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: to get a deal done. The President of United States 34 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: America is saying it directly from the White House and 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: to the world and to the people in Iran as well. 36 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: Why is this happening Because the pressure is clearly working. 37 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: Their infrastructure has been hit hard, their military capabilities in 38 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: Iran have been degraded significantly, and the economy in Iran 39 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: is filling the squeeze like never before. And now suddenly 40 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: the same regime they chance death to America now wants 41 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: to negotiate with us. That is exactly what leadership and 42 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: strength shows you the consequences for your actions, and Iran 43 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: knows it all too well. Now here's what's even more telling. 44 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: Iran didn't ask for ten days. They asked for seven. 45 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: We're also being tump and Trump said no, you're getting ten. 46 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: That's leverage, that's control, and that's what it looks like 47 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: when you have a president that says I'm willing to 48 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: take on our enemies. They make no mistake. This is 49 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: not a peace gesture out of weakness at all, even 50 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: though Democrats try to spin it that way. Instantly, it's 51 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: a strategic pause from a position of dominance, saying let's 52 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: get the deal done the right way. Trump also made 53 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: it clear the talks are happening and they're going well. 54 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: He also sent a message that couldn't be clear, make 55 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: the deal or the pressure comes back even harder. That's 56 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: the Trump doctrine literally in real time. It is peace 57 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: through strength, not appeasement, not begging for an adversaries to 58 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: behave like the Obama and Biden administration didn't while they 59 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: were sending billions of dollars that ended up funding terrorism 60 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: to Iran, but instead forcing a ran to the table 61 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 1: because they have no other choice and Here's what really 62 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: drives a left crazy about this moment. They've spent years 63 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: telling you that being tough on Iran would lead to chaos, 64 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: that the pressure wouldn't work, that America had to compromise 65 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: to get a deal done. Well, look at what's happening now. 66 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: Iran is now the one asking for time. Iran is 67 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: the one making gestures. Iran is the one that is 68 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: now trying to cut a deal. And the question every 69 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: American should ask is why. It's because they understand in 70 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: Iran something very simple. This president isn't bluffing, and that 71 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: changes literally everything now. The next ten days are critical 72 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: because Iran has a choice to make come to the 73 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: table and agree to terms that protect American interests or 74 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: face the full force of what our military in President 75 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: Trump's leadership will do next. I want to be honest 76 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: with you for a second about how an active ca 77 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: compassion really feels. A couple of years ago, I made 78 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: the choice to partner with an amazing organization called Compassion International. 79 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: Why because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. 80 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no 81 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: idea just how much that simple act would change my life. 82 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: As well, I sponsored Nadia and got to watch your 83 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: life change right in front of my eyes, going from 84 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: starving literally alone on the streets, to getting the healthcare 85 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: and education she needs to reach her God given full potential. 86 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: I got to be a part of that change. And 87 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her, 88 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: it illuminates now in me. That is the power of compassion. 89 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel 90 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: it for yourself and change literally a child's life, change 91 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: the world, and you also change yourself. You can sponsor 92 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: child today. Visit compassion dot com. That's compassion dot com. 93 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: The President also talked about just how big this development 94 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: actually is and how important it is to get a 95 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: deal done. He called in the Fox News channel, and 96 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: this is part of what he had to say of 97 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: a certain country. 98 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: There are not a lot of takers to be the 99 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 3: head of Iran right now. I will tell you they're 100 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 3: all fighting not to We don't want that position. But 101 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 3: they asked me if they would Kelly. Importantly, they said 102 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: to me very nicely through my people, could we have 103 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 3: more time because we're talking about tomorrow night, which is 104 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 3: pretty quick. And if they don't do what they have 105 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 3: to do. I will knock out their power plants. And 106 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: they said, does that include nuclear? Because they have nuclear. 107 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: You't plenty of money. They have a lot of money, 108 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 3: and they built nuclear and they've built regular power plants, 109 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: but they're massive and very expensive, billions of dollars. And 110 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: so I gave them a ten day period. They asked 111 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 3: for seven. You're gonna say, oh, Trump's a terrible negotiator. 112 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 3: They asked for seven, and I said, I'm going to 113 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: give you ten because they gave me ships. We talked 114 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: about the eight ships, you know the president that I 115 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: talked about the other day. But they asked for seven, 116 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 3: and I gave them ten. You got ten days, and 117 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 3: they were very thankful about that. Now they may say, oh, 118 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: we're not speaking. I don't like that, because that wasn't 119 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: true of the last time. As you found out, the. 120 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: President also had another meeting at the White House. He 121 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: took questions from reporters, and this may be the SoundBite 122 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: of the week, as the President said this about a 123 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: ran and why they're at the table begging to get 124 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: a deal done. 125 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: Now, I have a feeling that should clean up pretty quickly. 126 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 2: I could just say this, they want to make it 127 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: they want to make and I probably hurt our little negotiation. 128 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: It gives them a little impetus to say, well, I 129 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: wish you didn't say that, But they said yesterday that 130 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: we weren't negotiating with them, and now they admit that 131 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: we weren't negotiating with them, so they want to make 132 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 2: a deal. 133 00:07:59,600 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 4: You got. 134 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: I love the honesty and the bluntness there from the 135 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: President of the United States of America. Now, one other 136 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: thing that is very interesting is how the media has 137 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: quietly had to correct a story that was a lie 138 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: that Iran's Tarish regime was not close to being able 139 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: to hit the homeland of the United States of America 140 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: and was not close to actually having nuclear weapons. Well, 141 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: now we've got more of that story on the record, 142 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: and Senator Tom Cotton talked about it this way in Congress. 143 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 5: From both of your expertise about missiles in space and 144 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 5: build on what Senator Arnst was discussing the launch of 145 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 5: the intermediate range ballistic missile towards our base in die 146 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 5: Garcia in the middle of the Indian Ocean. That's bad. 147 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 5: I'm glad that it failed. I'm glad that we shot 148 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 5: down one It also, of course, shows that the fat 149 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 5: wah against missiles of that range is not exactly worth 150 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 5: the paper it was written on, probably like the fat 151 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 5: was against other long range missiles and nuclear weapons. But 152 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 5: let me just ask this that the technology needed not 153 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 5: for an intermediate range missile, but an intercontinental missile, a 154 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 5: missile that could hit the United States. It's pretty much 155 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 5: the same as an intermediate range missile, isn't that right, 156 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 5: Admiral Corral, Yes, Centator, that's correct, General Whiting, isn't that correct? 157 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 6: It is centator And it's not too much different from 158 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 6: a space launch vehicle either. 159 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 160 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 5: And you know, so you need enough booster thrust to 161 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 5: get something into space, and you need a reentry vehicle 162 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 5: to get it back from out of space or from 163 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 5: space into the Earth surface. And you said, general writing, 164 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 5: Iron has long had a space launch vehicle program. Have 165 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 5: you and your observations about space, have you seen any 166 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 5: running astronauts up there lately? They do have a man 167 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 5: space flight. Wow shocking. Do you think maybe the space 168 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 5: launch vehicle program is just flimsy cover for an intercontinental missile? 169 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 6: I do think they were developing intercental blistic missile. 170 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 5: Centator and Admiral Crail, for a reentry vehicle, that what 171 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 5: they used for that missile going to diegre Garcia. For 172 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 5: that matter, the medium range missiles that are shot at Israel, 173 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 5: that'd be a suitable reentry vehicle, right, that's correct, Centator, 174 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 5: So all you'd have to do in a crude but 175 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 5: functioning fashion is marry those two technologies and Iran would 176 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 5: be able to strike us here in the United States. 177 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 5: Is that correct? 178 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: That's correct? 179 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 5: And I have to say I think that could be 180 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 5: done in a matter of months, not years, and maybe 181 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 5: not that many months. Is that on your mind, Admiral Crail. 182 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 5: It's track Com absolutely demonstrated that technology. Thank you for that. 183 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: So there's the new reality on where we are, why 184 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: the President was forced to act and now President Trump 185 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: having a real pause to have real negotiations with Iran, 186 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: allowing them several more days to get things done the 187 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: right way. Gavin Newsom should be in hot water right 188 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: now for his clearly racist comments about African Americans having 189 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: low IQ. But let's be honest, the media is not 190 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: talking about this and it should be receiving far more 191 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: attention than it is because of this story involved a 192 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: Republican governor instead of Gavin Newsom, it would have a 193 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: twenty four hour media firestorm all over it, and more 194 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: than likely that Republican governor would have had to resign. 195 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: Now reports indicate that Governor Newsom is facing backlash, but 196 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: not from the media after telling a black mayor, I'm 197 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: like you before referencing low IQ in the conversation. Now, 198 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: let's be very clear, invoking IQ at a conversation involving 199 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: an African American elected official a mayor, especially in a 200 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: way that can be in is linking race and intelligence 201 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: is not just careless, It's not just politically explosive. It 202 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: should be condemned outright as straight up racism now, because 203 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: intelligence is not determined by race, period, is what the 204 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: media should have also said in this report, but they're 205 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: not talking about it. So when language like that's used, 206 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: even loosely, even jokingly, or even defensively, it should matter, 207 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: and it should matter to all American voters. The bigger 208 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: issue here is, yes, the double standard. This is the 209 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: part that makes me angry because if a Republican governor 210 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: use this language or even hinted at racial stereotypes involving 211 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: intelligence based on the color of your skin. What would 212 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: have happened. I know exactly what would have happened. Number one, 213 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: we would have had wall to all cable news coverage 214 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: demanding more than just an apology, but then demanding that 215 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: other Republicans call for that governor to resign. We have 216 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: none of that right now on TV. Editorial boards would 217 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: have also jumped in demanding accountability, saying that voters deserve 218 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: more from their governor than this, and then there would 219 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,239 Speaker 1: have been the national political outrage from nationally elected figures 220 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: or centers or congressmen far away from wherever the outrage 221 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: actually happened. In this situation, it actually did happen in California. 222 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: There would be zero tolerance as well as zero hesitation 223 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: to condemn a Republican if they did this. But because 224 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: it's the high profile Democratic front runner or at least 225 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: number two in line for the White House on the 226 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, then apparently they're all willing to cover for 227 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: the racist words of Gavin Newsom. There's also the lies 228 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: of this story, which are even more incredible. When Newsom 229 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: is talking to a black audience, he says, I'm dumb too, yeah, 230 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: just like you. But when Newsom was talking to a 231 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: white audience. I want you to listen carefully to what 232 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,479 Speaker 1: he had to say to that audience. 233 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 7: You've written the hell of a book. And I don't 234 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 7: say that lightly. I went through it in a quick 235 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 7: hour and a half. 236 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 8: Almost two hours, and trust me, I don't read very fast. 237 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 8: But it reads at an unbelievable pace. It's so well written, 238 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 8: and of course it's so familiar because I fell a 239 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 8: little bit adjacent so much of the subject matter. But 240 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 8: it's eighteen chapters. 241 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 7: It's an impressive piece of work, two hundred and sixty 242 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 7: three or so pages. 243 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: Two So let's be clear what you just heard, Gavin 244 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: Newsom talking to white authors about a white book and 245 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: a white audience. He basically says, you know, I read 246 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: three hundred pages of your book in like two hours. 247 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: Now he's either a liar or a race pader, or 248 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: racist or all three of those things. Because when Gavin 249 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: Newsom goes and talks to a black crowd in Georgia, 250 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: this is what he says instead. 251 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 8: I'm not you know, I'm not trying to impress you. 252 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 8: I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you, 253 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 8: I'm no better than you, you know. 254 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 6: I'm a nine sixty SAT guy. And you know, and 255 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 6: I'm not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying to 256 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 6: act all there if you got nine forty, but literally 257 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 6: a nine sixty SAT guy, I cannot You you've never 258 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 6: seen me read a speech. Because I cannot read a speech, 259 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 6: maybe the wrong business to be. 260 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: I'm like you to a black audience. I'm a nine 261 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: to sixty SAT guy. I can't read. So which one 262 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: is it? 263 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: Is it? 264 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: Are you the guy that can read a three hundred 265 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: page book in a couple hours? Are you the guy 266 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: that's stupid just like you? Of course, only referencing black 267 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: people in the audience. This is why it matters. We 268 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: live in a political culture where leaders are constantly telling 269 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: the country that language matters. Right, Gavin Newsom's one of those. 270 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: We're told that rhetoric matters. How do we know that? 271 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom has said it. Gavin Newsom has also said 272 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: that tone matters and the implication of the words you 273 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: use matter. Well, they're right, it does. So if that 274 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: standard applies to everyone else, why does it apply to 275 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom as well? Historically, by the way, linking race 276 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: and IQ has been part of a deeply offensive and 277 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: discredit argument. Yes, history makes comments like this, and we 278 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: expose them, especially sensitive and especially inappropriate comments, to remind 279 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: Americans of what racism actually is. And any elected official, 280 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: whether it's Republican or Democrat, they should know better, especially 281 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. And to be clear, this is 282 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: not can It's a culture that I'm advocating for. This 283 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: is an elected official looking at a black audience saying 284 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: I'm like you, I can't read, I'm dumb, I'm a 285 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: nine to sixty sat guy. Governor Gavin Newsom. Why is 286 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: he not being held accountable? Because he is seen as 287 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: being the guy that could be the Democrat's next president. 288 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: He's trying to present himself as polished, media savvy, forwardlooking 289 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: Democrat for the future. And that's why this story should 290 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: be so damaging, because if you've got a rich white 291 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: guy telling black people he's stupid like them, shouldn't that 292 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: disqualify him from being the president of the United States 293 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: of America. Now, Democrats are falling all over themselves to 294 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 1: protect Gavin Newsom. And the key simple question I have 295 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: is this, when is there going to be accountability when 296 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: someone on the left says something as racist as this. 297 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: When is there going to be a clear explanation from 298 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: Gavin Ussom about what he actually meant. Is there going 299 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: to be a clear apology from Gavenusom to the black 300 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: community for implying that they're dumb or that they can 301 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: only get a nine to sixty on their sat? Is 302 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 1: there going to be a clear acknowledgement that the phrasing 303 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: was at least at the bare minimum inappropriate. And the 304 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: sad part is, especially minority voters deserve clarity on this issue. 305 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: So where is the media? Why aren't they doing their job? 306 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: The bottom line on this is well pretty simple. If 307 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: it's a Democrat, the media will protect them at all costs. 308 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: There is no consistency. Are we going to be able 309 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: to hold public officials accountable for racially charged rhetoric? Then 310 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: we If we're going to do that, we got to 311 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: hold them all accountable, including the front runner of the 312 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. I believe that no party should get a 313 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: pass when you say something like this. No governor should 314 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: get a pass if you say something like this, and 315 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: certainly no future presidential hopeful should get a pass if 316 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: saying something this racist on stage in front of a 317 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: black audience. America I want to believe is moved beyond 318 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: the ugly history of tying intellect to the color of 319 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: someone's skin. That kind of thinking has no place in 320 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: this country and certainly no place in modern politics for anyone. 321 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: And if leaders want to lecture the country about sensitivity 322 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: and standards, they better live by those same standard themselves. 323 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: That's not partisan, that's just straight up principle. President Donald 324 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: Trump declares an emergency to pay TSA agents at airports 325 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: as chaos is continuing to grip America. In my hometown, 326 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: the lines were over four hours long, forcing me, as 327 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: I'm doing this show right now, to drive out of 328 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: town to a meeting instead of flying. That's how bad 329 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: it really is. I'm not the only one that's frustrated 330 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: by this president's angry, and so is the Speaker of 331 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: the House, Mike Johnson. I've never seen in this mad 332 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: in public, red face and even banging his fists, banging 333 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: his fist on the lectern. 334 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 9: Is willing to fund all of the security and safety 335 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 9: of the American people. We cannot believe it's come to that, 336 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 9: but it has. 337 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 2: The Senate, will you put it on the floor. 338 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 9: We'll have to see, we have to solve the problem, 339 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 9: and it's very sad that Democrats are not interested in 340 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 9: doing that. 341 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 5: Yet, does that mean that you're not. 342 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 8: In favor of breaking the DHS funding bill apart just 343 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 8: funding TESSA, just funding FEMA having individual votes on this sect. 344 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 9: We have never been in favor of breaking the bill 345 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 9: up wide because it's one of the twelve separate appropriations bills. 346 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 9: That is the most basic function of Congress to fund 347 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 9: the government, and we did it in a by partisan 348 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 9: by camberal men. Remember, the contents of that bill were 349 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 9: decided upon earlier by Democrats until they decided to hold 350 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 9: the American people hostage in their long lines at the 351 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 9: airport and with the safety of everybody on the line, 352 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 9: to make a political point. 353 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 5: It is shameful. 354 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 9: There is no way for them to defend this to 355 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 9: the American people, and breaking it out is a I 356 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 9: think it puts an exclamation point on what they've tried 357 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 9: to do here. It's shameful. So many people have been 358 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 9: through so many hardships because of this nonsense, and what 359 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 9: we're concerned about is people may actually be hurt more 360 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 9: people harmed by criminal illegal aliens that are being protected 361 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 9: by the Democrat Party and we're sick. 362 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: Of and we're sick of it now. The President has 363 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 1: also had enough, and that is what made the President 364 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: step in and he did something that immediately grabbed headlines 365 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: across the country, declaring the situation at America's airport's a 366 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: national emergency and announcing that he will sign an order 367 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: to ensure that TSA agents get paid. Think about how 368 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: serious that actually is. We are now to point where 369 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America is saying 370 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: Congress has failed. The system is literally broken, and I'm 371 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: stepping in to fix it because it is now a 372 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: national emergency. Now. All of this stems from the prolonged 373 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: funding standoff in Washington, DC over the Department of Homeland Security, 374 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: as you heard Speaker Johnson say a moment ago. For 375 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: weeks now, lawmakers have been locked in that political battle, 376 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: holding America hostage. The Democratic leadership all of this around 377 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: them hating ICE agents and wanting to defund ice. The 378 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: President saying this at the White House as the reports 379 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: started to break that he decided to take matters into 380 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: his own hands to save the country yet again. 381 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 10: As the DHS shut down drags on, some Senate Republicans 382 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 10: are now reportedly asking the White House to declare a 383 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 10: national emergency to free up money and pay TSA workers 384 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 10: ahead of the spring break travel season. 385 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 2: We now on day forty one of the disgraceful Democrats 386 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 2: shutdown of Mark Wayne's department. Congratulations, he came into a department. 387 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 10: Down and there's no movement in sight. 388 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 7: Look, we are not going to fund ICE. 389 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 4: I just want to be clear on this. 390 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 5: Until we get some restrictions in place. 391 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 10: That's just a hard no for us, even as TSA 392 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 10: says airport wait times are now the longest in agency history. 393 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 4: Today in Houston, frustrating, Right, you show up five hours early, 394 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 4: you think you're there, and you go down to the basement, 395 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 4: work your way around baggage you claim to come up to, 396 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 4: then go outside and sweat to come back inside to 397 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 4: see more lines. 398 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 10: So far, nearly five hundred TSA officers have quit because 399 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 10: of unreliable pay as new Fox polls show nearly a 400 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 10: third of Americans twenty seven percent, are living paycheck to paycheck. 401 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 10: President Trump says Americans are mad at Congressional Democrats. 402 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: Well, I show it today on one of the shows 403 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 2: when they were interviewing people at the airport, and they're 404 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: actually hanging to be a tumor. 405 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: Now, the President's saying he's signing this executive order to 406 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: address the airport disruptions, announcing the move in a statement 407 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: on True Social framing the situation as nothing more than 408 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: a basic major national emergency. Quote. Because the Democrats have 409 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: recklessly created a true national crisis. I am using my 410 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: authorities under the law to protect our great country. Therefore, 411 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,479 Speaker 1: I'm going to sign an order to immediately pay our 412 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: TSA agents in order to address the emergency situation. The 413 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 1: White House said, funding from legislation back by Trump will 414 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: be used to ensure TSA officers are paid during the disruption. 415 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: Quote not unlike actions taken during the first Democratic shutdown, 416 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: i e. Payments to troops. President Trump is determined that 417 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: Congressional Democrats have created an emergency situation that cannot be 418 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: allowed to continue, is what the White House Office of 419 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: Management and Budget Communications director said in a statement to 420 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: Fox News. Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen, praising the move, 421 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: writing on Acts that he wont to thank President Trump 422 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: for his leadership in finding a way to pay our 423 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: TSA officers to end this chaos. At our airports. These 424 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: hour long lines and thousands of Americans missing their flights 425 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: was all caused solely by the Democrats reckless DHS shutdown, 426 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: Mellan added, calling on Democrats to stop playing political games 427 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: with our national security and reopen the department. 428 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 4: Now. 429 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: This move comes as day forty one of this partial 430 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: government shutdown has disrupted the Transportation Security Administration, causing long 431 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: lines at airports nationwide. I'm going to standoff over DHS 432 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: funding and also the issue of immigration enforcement. President Trump 433 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: accusing Democrats of refusing to fund immigration enforcement and creating 434 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: the chaos on purpose as revenge, which is exactly what 435 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: we are witnessing from Democrats. They're saying, we don't want 436 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: any of these TSA agents there, and we don't want 437 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: ICE agents at all. And while the Democrats hold us hostage, 438 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: this is what's actually been happening in the real world. 439 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: Tens of thousands of TSA agents, the people responsible for 440 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: securing our airports. They have been working now without paychecks 441 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: for more than forty one days. Many of them have 442 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: been forced to call in sick, hundreds and hundreds have 443 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: quit all together, and across the country. Americans are now 444 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: feeling the pain that was all created by the Democrats. 445 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: The long lines, the missing fights, the security delays are 446 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: literally unlike anything we've ever seen in the history of 447 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: this country. At our airports and at some airports today, 448 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: wait times had surged to record levels. And that's not 449 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: just an inconvenience. The President now says, it's a national 450 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: security concern, because when airport security is stretched thin, when 451 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: staffing drops, when morale collapses, that's when vulnerabilities start to emerge. 452 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what prompted President Trump to act, the 453 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: White House said in his statement, he made it clear 454 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: he believes this crisis was created because of political gridlock 455 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: in DC, and he had no other choice but to 456 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 1: use what he says are his legal authorities to step 457 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: in and restore the order. He also directed the Security 458 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security to quote immediately pay the TSA agents, 459 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: meaning no delay, bypassing Congress in the process. Now, let's 460 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: be clear, this is not a typical move. Normally Congress 461 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: controls the purse strings. Funding federal workers without Congressional approval 462 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: is highly unusual, and Democrats more than likely are going 463 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: to sue. They're going to claim it raises serious legal questions, 464 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: and they're not just gonna want to debate it, they're 465 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: going to want to debate it in court. But from 466 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: Resident Trump's perspective, the argument seems to be simple. These 467 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: making to the American people, when national security is at risk, 468 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: actions cannot wait. And that's the framing that you're going 469 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: to hear more and more in the days to come. 470 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 1: Now many Americans are going to support the move. Polling 471 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: says that's exactly what leadership looks like, stepping in when 472 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: Washington fails. The majority of Americans are in favor of that, 473 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: and making sure critical workers are paid and preventing further 474 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: breakdowns in airport security. The majority of Americans overwhelmingly seem 475 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: to be in favor of that. Now the media, in critics, well, 476 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: they're already raising concerns about executive overreach of the president 477 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: and whether Trump has the authority to spend money without congress. 478 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: But while the debate plays out, one thing is clear. 479 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: The pressure is now squarely on the Democrats and lawmakers 480 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: to figure this out because the longer this standoff continues, 481 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: the worse the sequences become. And yes, we are talking 482 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: about airportant disruptions across the country. Thousands of federal workers 483 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: in financial distress are quitting altogether in a system that 484 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: millions of Americans rely on every single day, including our economy. 485 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: So now the question is what will happen next. Does 486 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: Congress finally reach a deal and fund the DHS, or 487 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: does this s emergency action become the new reality where 488 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: the executive branch is forced to step in when legislation 489 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: fails in Congress.
