13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: All right, we start tonight with what President Trump declared

14
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: was one of the most important executive in the country's history,

15
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: his order to lower prescription drug prosts in America. And

16
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: it's all part of an America First agenda. The President

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: says that for too long, the United States has been

18
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 1: paying premiums for medications, essentially subsidizing other countries in Europe

19
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: and around the world who put price caps on their drugs.

20
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: Are directly negotiate with the drug companies for lower prices

21
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: that put us all at a disadvantage. Now with those

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: companies making up for the price disparity by charging all

23
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: of US Americans more. That's how it worked. Now President

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: Trump is looking to equalize the global prices of prescription

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: drugs with this new executive order. President Trump says the

26
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: order could slash drug prices between thirty and eighty percent. Now,

27
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: the President left a little bit after signing that order

28
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: for a very high stakes Mid East trip. But before

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: he did, he gave us some great word eat on Alexander,

30
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: the last American hostage held by Hamas released reunited with

31
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: his family in Israel today. He was a young American

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Israeli soldier. He was taken captive on October seven, twenty

33
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: twenty three. We've had his parents on the show right here.

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: Great news there for the eton Alexander and his family

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: and another almost more than four dozen prisoners and hostages

36
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: set free during the Trump years, a lot of them

37
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: Joe Biden couldn't get out of custody. So really good

38
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: development there. One last little piece I want to get

39
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: before I turned things over to my amazing co host

40
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: today Congress. Between last night and today, Congress released the

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: outlines of that big beautiful bill. Lots of important things,

42
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: and I want to focus on one because I think

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: it's something that's going to get a lot of tension.

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: Medicaid recipients going forward. If they're able, body and healthy,

45
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: we'll have to work or look for work in order

46
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: to keep their benefits. That's called workfair was a very

47
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: popular idea three decades ago. Making a comeback in this

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: build one of many many things will have over at

49
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: justin News tonight. You can take a look at it

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: all right, as I always do at this point the show.

51
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: Time to bring in my amazing coast and mend ed

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: for a lot of other headlines. A lot going on today,

53
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: very busy day indeed.

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we have a lot to get to tonight,

55
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: But as always, I first want to get to a

56
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: couple of stories that have been trending.

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: Over on just the news dot com.

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: The first one involving the Biden administrations.

59
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: ATF.

60
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: Senators Chuck Grassley and Joani Ernce have exposed through whistleblower

61
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: reports how ATF officials allegedly misclassified administrative roles as law

62
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: enforcement positions. To pad their salaries and benefits with taxpayer dollars,

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: and despite internal warnings, these officials faced no repercussions. And

64
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: the whistleblowers say that this abuse of taxpayer funds has been.

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: Going on for decades.

66
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: Just another account of corruption in our federal agencies. Let's

67
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: hope that it gets cleaned up and very quickly by

68
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: the Trump administration. And we have more alarming info from

69
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: Senator Chuck Grassley that just the News reported on today,

70
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: whistleblower is disclosed that the Polaris Project that's the operator

71
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: of the National Human Trafficking Hotline, they failed to actually

72
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: protect victims of human trafficking, the whole point of that

73
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: organization's existence. The whistleblower revealed the Polaris, which was paid

74
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: by the government, neglected to report critical trafficking tips to

75
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: law enforcement, including cases involving minors. Whistleblower claims uncovered shocking

76
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: instances like a March twenty twenty five report of potential

77
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: sex trafficking and a February twenty twenty five case involving

78
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: a victim and her young sister, both dismissed without action

79
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: and without referring any tips to law enforcement, which is

80
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: what the Polaris Project is paid to do.

81
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: So you can read all about that over on justinnews

82
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: dot com.

83
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: Right, John, I'm going to hand it back to you

84
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: because we have a very important.

85
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: Guest for this sure, do you know?

86
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: Day it was a really big day for the present

87
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: before the trip. You've got the big beautiful bill, you

88
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: starting to get the shape of it. You get another

89
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: hostage released, you get I think a really important deal

90
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: with China. The markets went nuts today because there's a

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: ninety day reprieve and the tariffs are now in the

92
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: favor of American companies for the next ninety days. So

93
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: I did it worked out really well, but a very

94
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: important day for the Trump administration. It's almost hard to

95
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: keep up on all the successes that are rolling up

96
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: all right. Earlier today, man and I had this incredible

97
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 1: opportunity to speak with the new director of the National

98
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: Institutes of Health. He's a long time in front of

99
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: the show, but a many times, doctor j. Bodichar, but

100
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: this is his first time as the chief of NIH.

101
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: To take a look at what he said to us.

102
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: All right, joining us now, a man who is at

103
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: that signing ceremony this morning when President Trump signed the

104
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: order making prescription drugs a lot cheaper for Americans. Doctor j. Bodichara,

105
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: a man at the helm of the National Institute, So

106
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: help doctor. Good to have you back on the show.

107
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: Good to be back. Thank you for having Amanda, Thank

108
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 4: you for having me, John.

109
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: Yes, it's a great honor. Let me ask. I think

110
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't realize how unfairly Americans are

111
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: treated in the drug market. We obviously drug American drug

112
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: companies are successful, they're the leaders in the world. But

113
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: Americans play a disproportionate amount of the cost of developing

114
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: those drugs. How did that happen and how does this

115
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: executive order fix that?

116
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: Well, it happens almost by accident. The drug companies would

117
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 4: go American drug companies would invent amazing new things that

118
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: would go to some European country and say, look, we'd

119
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 4: love to sell here, and the European country would say, well,

120
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 4: you can't sell here unless you charge our consumers nothing

121
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 4: almost like marginal costs. And then they come to the

122
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: American market and charge, you know, exhorbitant amounts of money.

123
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 4: And so now you have drugs that are two, three, four,

124
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: sometimes ten times more expensive for the same molecule in

125
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 4: Europe as it is in the United States. And that's

126
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: gone on for decades, and all the time we hear excuses, well, look,

127
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: this is the only way we can afford the research

128
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: and development.

129
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 5: That's what the drug companies that say.

130
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 4: But the question is why aren't European are European partners

131
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: paying for the research and development? Why does it fall

132
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: to the American taxpayer, the American patient, the Americans consumer

133
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: for that.

134
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 5: And that's what this exactly order address.

135
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, cool, exciting.

136
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like it's going to hurt the R

137
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 2: and D at all. I want to ask you. You know,

138
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: President Trump said that that thirty to eighty percent was

139
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: going to be felt effectively immediately.

140
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: Does that mean starting tomorrow?

141
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's going to take a little bit

142
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 5: of work, Amanda.

143
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,119
Speaker 4: So it's it's it's we have to talk to our

144
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 4: partners in the year in Europe, we have to talk

145
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: to the pharmaceutical firms and make sure they understand what

146
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: the new landscape looks like. I fully anticipate that we

147
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 4: will have action very very very soon, and Americans will

148
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 4: start to see the reduction in drug prices.

149
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 5: But tomorrow's a little probably too soon.

150
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'll take a few weeks obviously. So I

151
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: want to ask a little bit about what happens with

152
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: those European countries and Asian countries that have gotten these sweet,

153
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: hard deals. A lot of people will say, well, but

154
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: they'll just pull out and not do it. But they

155
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: really can't live without American drugs, can they. No.

156
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 5: That's the thing.

157
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 4: These drugs that we're talking about are at the cutting edge,

158
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 4: they say, patients' lives. They're really really important to patient health,

159
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: many of them, and they have a fantastic data behind

160
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: them as a general matter, and so they're really important

161
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: not just for the health of Americans, but health of

162
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: the world. And the question is, why aren't other rich

163
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: countries paying their fair share of the R and D costs?

164
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 4: Why does it fall to Americans to pay those R

165
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 4: and D costs at such high levels so that our

166
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: drug prices are so much more expensive than everyone else?

167
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: Is it makes no sense? There really isn't the counter

168
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 4: argument I can think of, John.

169
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, those countries are that concerned about a premium price

170
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: for their.

171
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: Citizens, and maybe they should subsidize it.

172
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: I want to ask you how this works out for

173
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: the health insurance industry obviously a huge cabal within this country,

174
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: and anytime anything goes in there to serve the pot,

175
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: there's an entire resettling of these programs.

176
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: How is that going to work with health insurance companies?

177
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: You know, right now there are a whole bunch of

178
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 4: middlemen called pharmacy benefit managers. Their job is to sort

179
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 4: of negotiate good prices for health insurance with the pharmaceutical

180
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 4: manufacturers under this new regime, with this most Favored nation

181
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 4: kind of idea where the prices will come down to

182
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 4: the lowest levels that we see among developing countries or

183
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 4: developed countries. You know, what need do you have for

184
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 4: that middleman to negotiate prices when we already have the

185
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 4: drug companies giving excellent prices to the health insurers, the

186
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 4: health insurance, the customers of health insurers, the government which

187
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 4: hayes for much so much of health insurance, and patients

188
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 4: themselves will all benefit almost immediately as soon as the

189
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 4: prices start to come down because they won't have to

190
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 4: put in there their premiums such high drug prices and

191
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 4: patient copays will come down as well. You won't have

192
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 4: to pay so much out of pocket when you go

193
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 4: to the doctor anymore.

194
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Congress promised Iranian PBMs for years and never could.

195
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: This executive order may do it and eliminate them on

196
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: its own. It's pretty remarkable. I want to turn to

197
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: something else because it happened on this show last October.

198
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: President Trump said he would get rid of gain a

199
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: function research, restore the band that had been in place

200
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: in a decade ago. He did it. You've been doing

201
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: a lot of other important things to protect safety at

202
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: these labs. I think the most underreported story of the

203
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: last week the action you took at Frederick, Maryland for

204
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: a biosecurity lab there. Tell us a little bit about

205
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: what prompted and what you learned about that incident, you know.

206
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 4: John, I've been in the job for about just a

207
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 4: little over a month. About three weeks in I got

208
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: a report that there was a lab a BSL for Life,

209
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: that is a high security lab that deals with like

210
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 4: really nasty bugs, you know, you bowl a whole bunch

211
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 4: of other bugs, that there had been a safety incident

212
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: that even in March, even before I arrived in the

213
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 4: safety incident involved a contractor cutting a hole in the

214
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 4: biocontainment suit of another worker with the intention of that

215
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 4: getting that worker sick with some nasty bug and potentially

216
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 4: spreading it outside of the of the of the bycontent

217
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: world itself. I mean, I have not been scared by

218
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 4: anything but in this job so far, except for that

219
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: that when I heard that, my blood is chilled.

220
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 5: And there's an ongoing investigation.

221
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 4: But so far it's revealed is a safety culture going

222
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 4: back to the Biden administration, where uh, these kinds of

223
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 4: safety incidents were sort of just hand waved away with

224
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 4: no real serious action. I ordered immediately as soon as

225
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 4: I heard about this incident that there's an operational pause

226
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 4: of all all experiments at this lab for you know,

227
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 4: at Frederick, Maryland, and that where we're not going to

228
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 4: reopen it until I'm satisfied that we have a group

229
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 4: that can run it with safety first. This is really

230
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: really dangerous stuff, and if we're going to play around

231
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 4: with these kinds of experiments, it better be at one

232
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: hundred percent secure lab where the safety culture says that

233
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 4: it's more important to get the safety right than to.

234
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 5: Have the science go forward.

235
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: But you have instead is a safety culture which I

236
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 4: view as substandard and That's why i ordered the close

237
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: of it immediately, and I'm not going to reopen it

238
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 4: until I'm satisfied that we have made fundamental changes in

239
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 4: the safety culture of that of that institution.

240
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: What a powerful message.

241
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: Wow, maybe these labs should live by the adage better

242
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: to be safe than sorry. How many other labs in

243
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: this country are Are there these types of security concerns

244
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: about and is there any type of centralized alert system

245
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: so that you can get this information faster?

246
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm still looking into that. An I don't

247
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 4: know the answer to your question. And still this is

248
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 4: about a month in the job, and I'm still learning

249
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 4: a lot of things about how these how these labs work.

250
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 4: But I do know within the NIH there are several

251
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 4: of these kinds of labs, including a BSL three lab

252
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 4: here on campus at in Bethesda.

253
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 5: Uh, there's another lab.

254
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 4: You know, the Rocky Mountains Lab in in uh, you know,

255
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 4: the Northwest Mountain and the Mountain regions. So we're gonna

256
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: we're gonna look into all of these and we're gonna

257
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 4: examine the safety culture of all of them. I mean,

258
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 4: I think that for the most part, they do excellent

259
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 4: work there. They are scientists who care deeply about safety

260
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: and understand the sensitivity of the of doing work with

261
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 4: such dangerous agents. But that's not guaranteed, and as we

262
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: saw during the pandemic, it's possible for that kind of

263
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 4: lack safety culture to wreak catastrophic damage on the world.

264
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: Just one slip up and you end up with a

265
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 4: pandemic that kills, you know, tens of millions of people

266
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 4: and cost trillions and tens of trillions of dollars, with

267
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 4: damage that's still ongoing.

268
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 5: It's not a joke.

269
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 4: We have to like take this really, really seriously, and

270
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 4: for every single experiment that's done, we have to ask

271
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: ourselves is it worth doing if it has the risk

272
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 4: of causing a pandemic like that?

273
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: Such an important mind shift that you're affecting across government,

274
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: really really important, doctor, real quickly. I know there is

275
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: a lot of work to be done. A lot of

276
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: people are wondering where are we in terms of developing

277
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: a new pandemic strategy because the last one clearly didn't

278
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: serve us very well. You were one of the most

279
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: profoundly wise voices when it came to the last pandemic.

280
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: You started working on preparations to create a new pandemic strategy.

281
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: Will the government get on board with that? Are they

282
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: getting on board with that?

283
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: Well, that's going to take a little bit of time,

284
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 4: because it's still I think people are still processing five

285
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 4: years later the damage done.

286
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: To kids, to.

287
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 4: The working class, to the poor from all of these lockdowns.

288
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 5: We still have such a high level of.

289
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 4: Drug overdoses and mental health issues. I do think that

290
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: the appetite for that is opening up. I do have

291
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 4: one good thing to report, which is President Trump signed

292
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 4: a gain of function ban last week, which which basically

293
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 4: means that the kind of dangerous work that very likely

294
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 4: led to the pandemic, you know where where the US

295
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 4: NIH supported research in Wuhan, China, where that the likely

296
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 4: the lab accident happened led to the pandemic, that kind

297
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: of research and that kind of support for that kind

298
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 4: of dangerous research is banned now throughout the government, and

299
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 4: the next four months, we're going to develop a framework

300
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: where the public will have a say if there's going

301
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 4: to be dangerous work done. It won't be scientists themselves

302
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 4: that decide that the risks are worth taking, and so

303
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: we don't We're not quite there on the on the

304
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: on the revising our pandemic plans. That's that's coming, but

305
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: we are there in terms of trying to stop the

306
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: kind of research that likely led to the pandemic.

307
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: So very important. It's you are a game changer, Sarah.

308
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: Everyone who has watched your work over the last five

309
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: years knew that if you could get into NIH you'd

310
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: be a game changer in your getting to change that mentality,

311
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: that culture day by day. What a great honor to

312
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: have you on the show. Okay, thanks for joining us.

313
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 5: Thank you, John, thank you Amanda. Always good to talk

314
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 5: to you all.

00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: Another very busy week in geopolitics and everything else for

350
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: the Trump administration. The President is on his way to

351
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: the Middle East right now, and he also may address

352
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: the Russia war. So what can we expect to come

353
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: from this trip with us now to talk about all

354
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 2: of the national security implications of it. Former CIA Operations officer,

355
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: founder and president of Lopez Liberty, LLC, and also a

356
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 2: founding member of the Citizens Commission on National Security, Claire

357
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: Lopez Claire. Great to have you with us tonight, perfect time,

358
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for being here.

359
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 6: Thanks so much, Amanda, and also John, glad.

360
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: To be with you both.

361
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: Good to have you.

362
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 3: We are delighted to have you.

363
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: As President Trump is wheels up heading to Saudi Arabia

364
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: and then on to Cutter and UAE. Last week, mainstream

365
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: media was really trying to push this as something that

366
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: was personally beneficial and financially beneficial for the president.

367
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: But it's really going.

368
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: To benefit this country probably in some major investments, do

369
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: you think, Yeah.

370
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 6: So I've heard of course, those reports coming out of

371
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 6: mainstream media sources, you know, to the effect that the

372
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 6: President will not be stopping in Israel, for example, this trip,

373
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 6: and also citing the recent and very happy deal reached

374
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 6: with CAMAS to release a dual citizen American Israeli citizen

375
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 6: Eden Alexander, who was indeed in fact released by Hamas

376
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 6: to the Red Cross and then onward from the Red

377
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 6: Cross to the Israelis today.

378
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: But citing things.

379
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 6: Like that to try to drum up this, uh you know,

380
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 6: this image that somehow there's a rift between President Trump

381
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 6: and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Attanyahu, you know, a canard

382
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 6: that was very roundly put to rest by US Ambassador

383
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 6: to Israel Mike Huckabee that there's no truth to any

384
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 6: of that. But yes, the President onward tonight, going to

385
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 6: arrive I guess tomorrow in Saudi Arabia, then also United

386
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 6: Arab Emirates and clutter.

387
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: So, Claire, when you look out at this, it seems

388
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: like we're ripe for some sort of announcement of a

389
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: Abraham Accords two point zero. Maybe Saudi Arabia jumps in.

390
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: There are also some fascinating discussions over the weekend between

391
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: Israel and Syria. The new provisional government. There lots of

392
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: signs that we could get some more peace tales in

393
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: the region. What's your expectation for the trip on that front.

394
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 6: Well, certainly it has long been hoped, I mean since

395
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 6: President Trump's first administration, really going back to when he

396
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 6: concluded helped Israel to conclude the original signatories to the

397
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 6: Abraham Accords, which include the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan,

398
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 6: and Morocco. But the hope since that time that the

399
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 6: Saudis would eventually join. Now that didn't happen over the

400
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 6: last four years of the Biden administration. Nevertheless, behind the scenes,

401
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 6: I think we understand that, first of all, the original

402
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 6: Abraham Accords probably never would have reached fruition without the

403
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 6: strong backing again behind the scenes, but the backing of

404
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 6: the Saudis, in particular the Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman

405
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 6: often called MBS. So that could be something that comes

406
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 6: out of the strip. Other hopes with Saudi Arabia include

407
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 6: hundreds of billions of dollars of potential deals to include

408
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 6: the sale of US weapons to Saudi Arabia as well

409
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 6: as investment by Saudi Arabia with the United States, and

410
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 6: also there are other things that the Saudis want, for example,

411
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 6: a US support help with a civilian nuclear program. One

412
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 6: can understand that, I suppose, given the accelerated speed of

413
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 6: the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons program of late good.

414
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: Point Claire, I think that one of the most groundbreaking

415
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 2: aspects of the Abraham Accords one point zero was that

416
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: these are nations that don't mirror or even really resemble

417
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: the United States in many ways. But for these three

418
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: nations that President Trump is going to be meeting with,

419
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: cutter Ue and Saudi Arabia, what are some of the

420
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: land mines that he and his negotiators and team are

421
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: going to have to dodge when they are having a

422
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: lot of these sensitive conversations.

423
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 6: Well, I think I would maybe point first to Clutter.

424
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 6: Of course, as I said, the United Arab Emirates already

425
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 6: is a signatory to the original Abraham Accords, and I

426
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 6: think most of us understand that the Saudis were strongly for.

427
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: It behind the scenes.

428
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 6: But I would point to Clutter in particular because Clutter,

429
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 6: there's no other way to put it, is an adversary

430
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 6: of the United States, a strong partner with the Islamic

431
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 6: Republic of Iran, with which it shares the exploitation of

432
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 6: a great, big natural gas field under the waters of

433
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 6: the Persian Gulf. But Clutter is home away from home,

434
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 6: has been for a very long time for the Muslim Brotherhood,

435
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 6: which is of course behind much of the chaos on

436
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 6: our own campuses and streets anti Semitism, jew hatred exploding

437
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 6: after the atrocities of the Kamas October seven, twenty three massacre.

438
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 6: Hamas a foreign Terrorist Organization list listed terror organization in

439
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 6: the United States, funded, armed, backed, trained, not trained, backed,

440
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 6: and armed certainly by funding in particular from Clutter. So

441
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 6: there's that there were Hamas leadership figures, including the not

442
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 6: so dearly departed Ismail Haniya, the former political office head

443
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 6: of Hamas, who found safe haven and refuge in Clutter

444
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 6: for many years until he took an unfortunate trip to

445
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 6: Tehran in twenty twenty four.

446
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: We could go on and on.

447
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 5: Clutter is the.

448
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 6: Home of Al Jazeera, a Muslim Brotherhood media outlet that

449
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 6: reaches with its jihadi messaging not just all over the

450
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 6: Middle East but elsewhere too. And then of course we

451
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 6: can mention the millions, I should say, no billions of

452
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 6: dollars that Clutter lavishes on United States lobbyists, think tanks, universities,

453
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 6: and colleges. Where Again, as we've said, the anti Semitism,

454
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 6: jew hatred assaults, insults against particular Jewish students since October

455
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 6: seventh are ongoing even now as we speak in May

456
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 6: of twenty twenty five. So all of these things give

457
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 6: me pause with regard to the stop in Gutter. And also,

458
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 6: of course, there were a couple of recent developments there. One,

459
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 6: the Trump family company led by Don jor Don Trump Junior,

460
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 6: recently concluded with a Saudi partner, apparently a deal to

461
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 6: develop a luxury eighteen hole golf course resort in Calutter.

462
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 6: And then, of course the very recent news that President

463
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 6: Trump is considering accepting as a gift a Boeing seven

464
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 6: forty seven jet from Clutter to be I guess outfitted

465
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 6: as a air force an air force one plane. That

466
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 6: really gives me pause.

467
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 7: That one, Clara, I.

468
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: Wanted to just ask quickly, we've got about a minute

469
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: left if President Trump, as he hinted today, might drop

470
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: in in Turkey for the talks between Russian and Ukraine,

471
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: should they occur on May fifteenth. How big a moment

472
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: would that be in what could it do to those

473
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: sort of talks?

474
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 6: Well, I guess it also depends on whether Vladimir Putin,

475
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 6: president of Russia, agrees to show ups.

476
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: They have to show up, Furst, That's right.

477
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, although we have the agreement of President Voladimir Zelensky

478
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 6: of Ukraine that he is willing to go. Not sure

479
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 6: about President Trump dropping in or not. But the bottom

480
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 6: line is that the Russian Federation is an expansionist, neo

481
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 6: so empirical regime bent on conquest and domination to re

482
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 6: establish as much as Vladimir Putin is able to do

483
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 6: of the former Soviet Union, if not of the Russian

484
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 6: Empire itself. And the conditions that he's been laying down

485
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 6: Putin before agreeing even to a ceasefire are that Russia

486
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 6: gets to keep all the sovereign territory of Ukraine that

487
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 6: it's already invaded, captured and occupied, as well as more

488
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 6: in oblasts of southern Ukraine like Luhans, Donesque, Harsan and Zapobigia.

489
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: Tell you what Yue Cutter, Saudi Arabia, Russia Ukraine feels

490
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: like we are on the cusp of possibly some unprecedented

491
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 2: peace movement.

492
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 3: Claire Lopez, former CIA.

493
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 2: Operations officer and the founder and president of her great organization,

494
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: Lopez Liberty, LLC, thank you so much for joining us.

495
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 3: Claire, Great Sea. Thank you all right, everyreaddy.

496
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: Coming up, we have more on that newer Concursey Mayor

497
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 2: who was arrested for trespassing after protesting at an ICE

498
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: detention facility.

499
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: Stay with us for that.

500
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: Hey, America, for decades, you've worked hard, paid your taxes,

501
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: and stood by the values that built this great nation. Honesty, accountability,

502
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: and of course faith. But now you're seeing a government

503
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: that's bloated, reckless, and in many cases completely unaccountable. The

504
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: good news, you're not imagining it, and you're not alone.

505
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: President Trump is back in the White House, taking on

506
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: unfair trade practices, fighting waste and fraud, and boldly reaffirming

507
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: our Christian foundations. But even the strongest leaders need support

508
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: from the people. That's why I recommend AMAC, the Conservative

509
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: Alternative for Americans fifty and over who still believe in truth, transparency,

Speaker 1: and become part of a community that's holding government accountable.

513
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: Now go join today at a dot us slash just

514
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: news again. That's AMAC. Do us slash just news. Facts matter,

515
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: your voice matters, and with me AMAC, they're both being hurt.

516
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: Welcome back in America. A little breaking news that just

517
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,719
Speaker 1: occurred a few moments ago. President Trump scored a major

518
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: win in the federal courts. A federal judge just a

519
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: few moments ago ruling that the IRS may in fact

520
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: share its data on illegal aliens to help the Homeland

521
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: Security Department and ICE round up illegal aliens. Still on USO,

522
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 1: this is a major win. A man of the president

523
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: was looking for this capability because there's nothing like IRS

524
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: dada a target define where people are because they usually

525
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: put their address in. This is a big win. A

526
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: lot of people try to block it. Judge said, listen,

527
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: if you're not using it to pursue them in tax

528
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: liabilities or other issues, if you're using it for deportation,

529
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: seems like a legitimate use, Go ahead, do it. Turning

530
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: down an offer for or turned down a request for

531
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: a preliminary junction the latest in a long line of

532
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: wins for President Trump when it comes to going after

533
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: legal alien's big, big win.

534
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is a big one because this is

535
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: another tool to identify these folks. And look, at this point,

536
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter if you have been living here for

537
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: X amount of years. I am growing a little weary

538
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 2: of the refrain that, oh, you know that person has

539
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: been here for thirty years. Great, if they've been here

540
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: for thirty years, then at some point in those thirty

541
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: years they should have at least tried to move.

542
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: Down the road of naturalization.

543
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: And anytime you hear this conversation about illegals and you

544
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 2: even mentioned the word tax, the first thing they say is,

545
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: but illegal immigrants pay taxes too. On average, there is

546
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: about a four thousand dollars differential between what illegal aliens

547
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: pay into the system and the benefits that they receive

548
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: out of it. So, yeah, I agree, this is a

549
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 2: big win for President Trump. All the tools that they

550
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: can possibly have to identify these folks, and to do

551
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: it without having to do any strong with local law enforcement,

552
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: the better.

553
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no doubt. We're going to try to get

554
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: Tony Dell Gott, who's going to join us from Latina.

555
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: Wall Street to talk about the Democrats, and they're doubling down.

556
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: He seems to be in a little bit of bad

557
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: weather right now, so he doesn't have a signal. Hopefully

558
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: we'll get him in. But Amanda, over the weekend, just

559
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: watching the way that this new Jersey ice detention crash

560
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: occurred is really amazing. They literally run around the security

561
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: to get in the building. We would call that I

562
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: legal trespassing if they weren't members of Congress or a mayor.

563
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: Then they claim they're roughed up, and then the video

564
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 1: footage comes out, so they weren't roughed up. This Yeah,

565
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: it's literally insane to watch elected members in political office.

566
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 1: They may or, two members of Congress, Democrats willing to

567
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: invade create an insurrection at an ice facility just for

568
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: a publicity stunt. The fallout from this and I don't understand.

569
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what pulling down the Democrats are reading,

570
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: but I'm not finding any sympathy for people who are

571
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: legal aliens, and particularly criminal legal aliens. Any idea what

572
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: the Democrats finally keep doing this?

573
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I know what the polling is that they are reading,

574
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: and it is zoomer polling. I have seen enough protests

575
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: in my former home of Los Angeles of people under

576
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 2: I don't know about twenty two years old, with the

577
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: most ridiculous slogans on their signs. Make California Mexico again. Yeah,

578
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: because you've done such a great job with Mexico, let's

579
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: turn California back into back into Mexico as well.

580
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: It's not a real sign.

581
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, my.

582
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 2: Gosh, there is a younger demographic that sees this as.

583
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: A wonderful cause for Democrats. The unfortunate thing is that

584
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: he wrote the law.

585
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: Listen, there is a channel on our streaming service that

586
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 2: my husband and I watch that's all cops, and I've

587
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: seen enough episodes with trespassing to know who is the

588
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: perpetrator and who is the victim here, and those ice

589
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: agents and the people operating that facility were not the perpetrators.

590
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: Than any young person that thinks it's a good idea

591
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: to leave illegal aliens on our street should sit across

592
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: from Lake and Ryland Sister like you and I did

593
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: orson Jocelyn Hungary's mom, look them in the eye with

594
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 1: the horror they went through, an avoidable horror, and then

595
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: tell them it was a good idea. To let that

596
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: illegal alien into the country. I think we can wise

597
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: up a lot of these young people. I don't know

598
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: where they get there their mindset from, but it's just crazy.

599
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned California, and I don't know what's going

600
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: on with Gavin newsoon. I don't know if he got

601
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: hit in the head or something. Today he said, hey,

602
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: all those illegal homeless encampments, said, I've been allowing for years,

603
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: You've better clean them up quickly. Now common sense, popular

604
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: idea and rest of America. But in California it was

605
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: just accepted on his watch for a long time. But

606
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: these homeless encampments were fined even though they were traced

607
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: to fires and arson and crime. Is Gavin Newsom going

608
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: through some political metamorphosis? Is he on the.

609
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 3: Trust I can imagine?

610
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 2: Is that with the volume of hair gel that I

611
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: do believe he uses that it's a big Costco size

612
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: bottle and he dropped.

613
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: It and he hit him in the head.

614
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean with respect to the homeless encampments that

615
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 2: he is looking to go around California cleaning up. That's

616
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: nothing new. They do it every year before the Oscars.

617
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 2: They do it up in San Francisco before she comes

618
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: to town. So I'm you know, we're all pretty used

619
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 2: to them doing the cleanup before a dignitary comes or

620
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: before celebrities come. But I again, I think he's I

621
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: on twenty twenty eight.

622
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this time it's just get rid of him entirely.

623
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: This isn't a cleanup. This is for the first time

624
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: on morning. Are you going to put state funds at risk?

625
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: Well, it's going to help the President Trump's facility over

626
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: on the West side of law.

627
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: That Newsom and Trump would be on the same page

628
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: on anything. It's just it's just sort of crazy, uncomfortable. Actually, yeah, no,

629
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild. One thing before we get the commercial

630
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: breakoun I think we're going to get the Tony looks

631
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: like the weather has got the better of his signal.

632
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: The congressional bills that we got to see last night,

633
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: the Reconciliation early draft, and then today the tax billed.

634
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: A lot of big ideas workfair for medicaid. That's important.

635
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: No tax enter hips gets into the tax bill. We're

636
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: doing the tax steps, the salt deduction, the local and

637
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: state tax deduction going up from ten to thirty thousand,

638
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: but not up to one hundred thousand, which would really

639
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: benefit rich people, all of those in there. And then

640
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: when you go through the things that President Trump wanted

641
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: in the Reconciliation Bill, a lot of codification of the

642
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: things that he needs as powers. Now the question is

643
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: ken Republicans get their vote together and keep enough of

644
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: them to get it over the finish line. What are

645
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: you hearing?

646
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 2: Let me tell you this is a go big or

647
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: go home situation, and they now have to go even

648
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: bigger than they did before. Because I was reading the

649
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: statistics on this shown President Trump. He was up to

650
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty seven executive orders last week, so

651
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: now he's probably around one to fifty, actually over one fifty. Now,

652
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: Republicans have a majority in the House and the Senate,

653
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 2: and despite all of those executive actions, Congress has only

654
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: sent five bills to the President's desk to sign. Have

655
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 2: I feel very sure that the President is aware of

656
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 2: the numbers, and I feel very sure that that is

657
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: a part of the reason why he is continually pressing.

658
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: Use these folks at the head. What's the quote?

659
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: There are three parties in Washington, Republicans, Democrats and appropriators

660
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: and Republicans and Democrats just fell to the women of appropriators,

661
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 2: that the appropriators have a lot of power, and the.

662
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: Senate, I mean, the House has passed a lot of bills.

663
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: The sentence still the graveyard despite a switch, and we

664
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: got rid of Mitch McConnell, but not apparently the mindset

665
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: of do very little work. Boy. The next few weeks,

666
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: you're going to be consequential. Republicans are either going to

667
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: squander or embrace that incredible opportunity that President Trump won

668
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: for them in November. And we're going to find it

669
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: out soon which it is.

670
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 3: And they have the mandate too. I think they forget that.

671
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, they seem to be afraid of it, afraid to

672
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: have it. All right, Well, we're gonna take quick commercial

673
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: break when we come back. Really fun story, hated by drivers,

674
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: loved by the ep until now. The starting step talk

675
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: attacking your car. You know, when your car shuts off

676
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: on its own, then suddenly turned it back on how

677
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: to stop light? It may finally be thrown out. Park

678
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: More is going to tell us next why that is

679
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: his messages.

680
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 3: Welcome back everybody.

681
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: EPA administrator Lee's old and recently announced plans to address

682
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: the widespread dissatisfaction with automatic start stop technology and vehicles

683
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: now the system which turns off a car's engine when

684
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: it stopped to save fuel ostensibly and reduce emissions, and

685
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 2: a lot of people hate it. So does it actually

686
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 2: do anything? And what is the EPA planning to do

687
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: about it? With us to discuss? As Climate Depot publisher

688
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: and former senior staff at the US Senate Environment and

689
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 2: Public Works Committee, Mark Morano, Marc Gura, to see you.

690
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 3: Thanks for being here.

691
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 7: Thank you very much.

692
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 5: I appreciate this kind.

693
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 2: Of seems emblematic of the green energy movement as a whole.

694
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 3: Something.

695
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 2: You know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

696
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 2: I think that there were good intentions, but it seems

697
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 2: like this might beat up your engine a little, wouldn't it.

698
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just something goes back to the Obama administ

699
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 7: and this is strictly something that is bad for cars,

700
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 7: bad for engines, bad for starters, annoying the consumers and drivers.

701
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 7: But hey, it's good on It's a little accounting trick

702
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 7: that automakers can do on a piece of paper that

703
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 7: they didn't.

704
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 5: Get climate awards for.

705
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 7: And it's not a requirement, but they've incentivized automakers to

706
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 7: include these in newer cars. So when you have a car,

707
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 7: depending on what manufacturer you have, I know Chrysler has it,

708
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 7: and I think Ford has it, and many some of

709
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 7: the foreign cars have it. They literally will stop your car.

710
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 7: People who have it know what it is. People who

711
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 7: may have an older car have no.

712
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 5: Idea what it is.

713
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 7: It Essentially, you come up to a light and your

714
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 7: engine shuts off, and sometimes your air conditioner will still

715
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 7: go running off the battery on a hot summer day,

716
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 7: or your heater, and then when you move again, you

717
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 7: hit the gas and instantaneously the engine cuts back on,

718
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 7: so in and out, in and out all day long

719
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 7: if you're driving. There is a method of most cars

720
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 7: that turn it off, but then it defaults back on.

721
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 7: Lee's outed is now proposing finally abolishing this abomination on vehicles,

722
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 7: this stupid accounting trick that has no business being anywhere

723
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 7: near and automobile. Let's hope he's successful doing this.

724
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such a big deal, and I know it's

725
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: tough on the wear and tear of the car. Mechanics,

726
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: say them, is there any evidence that this actually saved

727
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: any admissions or carbon things? I mean, carbon's going down

728
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: and combination is going down twenty percent the past year.

729
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: But I doubt it's because our car shots off at

730
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: a red light.

731
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 7: No, not at all. It's all about technology.

732
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 6: No.

733
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 7: In fact, this would be a combination of fuel economy

734
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 7: standards and emissions for CO two and it's just no,

735
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 7: there's no I'm sure again when you say they're evidence,

736
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 7: I'm sure they can find some statistical number that's meaningless.

737
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 7: But yes, there is a number. If you're going to

738
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 7: shut your engine off, most likely it might. But then again,

739
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 7: in starting it up, it's kind of like the old

740
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 7: light bulb. It is turning awful light Actually save it?

741
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 7: Or is that more wear and tear on the light?

742
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 7: Is it going to die sooner? Don't don't have the answer,

743
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 7: but I'm sure the government being counters came up with

744
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 7: some serious accounting tricks to get this, get this kind

745
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 7: of incentivized to automakers. And part of the problem is

746
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 7: these automakers never pushed back on this, even the EV mandates.

747
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 7: And why didn't they push back because most of the

748
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 7: time they were given leniency for regulations and they were

749
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 7: given subsidies and taxpayer money to do.

750
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 5: Things they knew.

751
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 7: Was it right? Like EVE mandates, and my favorite still

752
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 7: I think was Avis rental car. You know, the CEO

753
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 7: went down on the sword, are going to make our

754
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 7: fleet the most rental cars and Edie, and then of

755
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 7: course they went belly up and they're getting rid of

756
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 7: all the rental cars, all the evs now in their

757
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 7: rental fleet. So it's just government policy distorts the alleged

758
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 7: private sector in this case. And I say alleged because

759
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 7: they're working hand in hand and there and the cauto

760
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 7: makers never fopped back against this kind of nonsense.

761
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 2: Hard enough, John knows my personal story about accidentally renting

762
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 2: an EV and it does not end well.

763
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 3: I want to ask you.

764
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 2: You know, America has a reputae for being entrepreneurial and industrious,

765
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 2: and because of that, we lead the world when it

766
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 2: comes to CO two emission reduction. But I have a

767
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 2: feeling it is not because of this. It is not

768
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 2: because of emission testing in Los Angeles, it's not because

769
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,479
Speaker 2: of solar panels or anything like that.

770
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 3: We're doing a great job. But why is that?

771
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 7: Well, very simply two words, AOC John Carrier. They're the reason,

772
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 7: they are the reason the planet is smiling today. No, no,

773
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 7: just kidding I'm just kidding. It has nothing to do

774
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 7: with the Green New Deal, UN agreements, solar and wind panel.

775
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 7: The United States is leading the world and reducing carbon

776
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 7: dioxide emissions. If you actually care about global warming, we've

777
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 7: been doing it right. And it's not through any of

778
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 7: the green crap. It's because of one thing, technological innovation

779
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 7: and very specifically the replacements of coal with natural gas fracking.

780
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 7: We have led the world. All the people who have

781
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 7: shamed us during the trumpet with Trump one now Trump two,

782
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 7: that oh we didn't, We're not on the UN Paris Agreement.

783
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 7: We're blowing them out of the water in terms of

784
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 7: our reductions at CO two because of technological advancements. That's

785
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 7: the way. And I'm not going to say a cleaner

786
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 7: Earth because CO two is a natural substance in the Earth.

787
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 7: We inhale oxygen, we exhale carbon dioxide. But that's the

788
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 7: way you can reduce CO two emissions is through technology,

789
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 7: not through the heavy handed government subsidies, mandates, EVS, solar,

790
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 7: wind has no impact on it. It's all in accounting trick.

791
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 7: By the way, the more the West actually increases the

792
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 7: green energy, all it means is the rest of the

793
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 7: world is going to pick up that slack, and it

794
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 7: will drive carbon dioxide emissions even higher because you're outsourcing

795
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 7: that energy to countries with the low human rights, low

796
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 7: environmental standards and not as technologically advanced China, India, the

797
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 7: Middle East, Venezuela. It's no one beats the Western world

798
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 7: for their technological advancements.

799
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, brilliant. About a minute left. Another big development. The

800
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: shower has been made to great again. The toilet may

801
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: flush with a little bit more water. Dishwashers might get

802
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: this with a little clean Donald Trump did something pretty important,

803
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: actually reversing people. A lot of people forget this has

804
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: occurred under George H. W. Bush. But thirty years later

805
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: we got a reprieve, didn't we We did.

806
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 7: And it's always good to remember here. No, the Republicans

807
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 7: are usually the ones that get us into these messages.

808
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 7: You mentioned George HW.

809
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 5: Bush disaster.

810
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 7: He went to the RIO Earth Summit in September I

811
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 7: believe it was a campaign at the end of the

812
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 7: campaign in nineteen ninety two, and signed onto the RIO

813
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 7: Earth Summetry, which gave us the entire basis for the

814
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 7: UN Climate summits. But anyway, George W. Bush also gave

815
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 7: us low flow toilets, low flow shower heads, low flow dishwashers,

816
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 7: and clothing machines. They started the whole process for that.

817
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 7: Donald Trump is trying to repeal it. And as your

818
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 7: previous segment noted, we need one key to this puzzle.

819
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 7: The Republican Congress has to follow suits. Donald Trump is

820
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 7: out there doing yeoman's.

821
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 5: Work by himself.

822
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 7: Now is the time for all good men in the

823
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 7: US Congress to start codifying all of these awesome executive

824
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 7: orders that Donald Trump has done. And frankly, it remains

825
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 7: to be seeing whether the Republican Congress is going to

826
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 7: follow through in a lot of this.

827
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: I thank you just talking about that a few minutes ago.

828
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if President Trump is able to get this done,

829
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 2: our dishes will be cleaner and hopefully we'll all have

830
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 2: a little bit better fragrance with the stronger water pressure.

831
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: Mark, we're going out.

832
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 3: I'm a depot publisher. Thanks so much for being here. Mark,

833
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 3: good to see you.

834
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.

835
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 3: I appreciate absolutely all Right, everybody, we're going to take

836
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 3: a quick break.

837
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 2: A few more headlines to get to before we head out.

838
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: For the night.

839
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody.

840
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 2: I want to start at the top of the show

841
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 2: and remind people of some of those important notes from

842
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: doctor j Boticharia, someone who speaks with such clarity. It

843
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 2: is so obvious why President Trump appointed him.

844
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 3: He's a fast mover.

845
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 2: I know he said, you know, it's going to take

846
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 2: a little bit of time for President Trump's executive order

847
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 2: this morning.

848
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 3: But he moves fast as well.

849
00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: I loved what he said about rejiggering our pandemic response strategy.

850
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 2: It's going to be so important to basically not do

851
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 2: anything that we did the first time.

852
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: I just think of how much cataclysmic change is already

853
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: curred now that Anthony Fauci's out of the way and

854
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: Jay Botichara is in it. Anih, you're getting security checks

855
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: on these labs that have been able to do this

856
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: dangerous research with almostnow overside. That story about what happened

857
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 1: in the Maryland lab is stunning. So it cut open

858
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: the protectives too, hoping to get them sick one and

859
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: maybe go on the cob. Yeah, and you're not going

860
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: to have a China Wuhan situation if you improve these

861
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: sort of monitoring. Then he talks about patch of benefit

862
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: gearing benefit managers maybe being pushed out away by the

863
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: executive Coigre's been talking about that for twenty years. Never

864
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: got a tone. These guys get it done quickly. The

865
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: possibility that there'll be a new pandemic playbook in the

866
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: year from now two years now, something that you asked

867
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: I thought was important. That was a very newsy interview.

868
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 1: But it's newsy because instead of just talk and spin,

869
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: guys like Jay Batichar are doing concrete things to make

870
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: this you better.

871
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, President Trump appointed him because of

872
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 2: his honesty during the pandemic. You know, he wasn't going crazy,

873
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 2: and you know I was viewing crazy rhetoric about it.

874
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 2: He was very measured, very similar to Harvey Rush, you know,

875
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 2: just very measured on all of it and saying, hey, guys,

876
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 2: why aren't we allowed to.

877
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 3: Ask the questions?

878
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, doctor mccallo, so many of them who were saying,

879
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: we just have to reevaluate the way that we've been

880
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 2: thinking about this, Let's ask questions, let's examine our theories.

881
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 2: And you know, as a result, they are now being

882
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 2: put at the tops.

883
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 3: Of these consumer health agencies.

884
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 2: And I think that the American people are going to

885
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 2: be healthier for.

886
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: It and just common sense again. I mean, it is

887
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: common sense. We should maybe do a security lab check

888
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: on labs introducing the most dangerous pathogens in the world,

889
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: but it didn't happen under the last regime's plural A

890
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: good sign that the common sense is prevailing. A CEO's

891
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: mentality is prevailing a lot of these agencies.

892
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,959
Speaker 2: It's good, all right. So did He's on trial in

893
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 2: New York. Prosecution and defense delivered their opening remarks this morning.

894
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 3: The defense seems to be.

895
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 2: Sure he has some strange bedroom habits, but none of

896
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 2: them are criminal.

897
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 3: I beg to differ, Claudia Schiffer.

898
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 2: It certainly seems like there's some crime attached to some

899
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 2: of them. But do you think that this is going

900
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 2: to be one of those trials like OJ where it

901
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 2: becomes something, it becomes about something other than what it

902
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 2: really should be about.

903
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. I mean, listen, I think a

904
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: lot of people what they've heard already, they find repugnant

905
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: what this culture was. And by the way, lots of people,

906
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: not just Sean Diddy Coons, was engaged in this culture.

907
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: Will it matter if we're fighting with Ukraine and Russia

908
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: and Iran and nuclear weapons. I don't know how it

909
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: cuts through. Certainly the media is going to cover it

910
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: with breathlessness. It'll be interesting to see whether it really

911
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: resonates at the kitchen table or the issues that have

912
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: us all concerned about the future are more dominant. But

913
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: it's going to make a lot of people uncomfortable. Hollywood,

914
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: that's what I'm guessing.

915
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of people say, you know, this

916
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 2: is just endemic of Hollywood.

917
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 3: Frankly, endemic of the city too.

918
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: Oh, no doubt, Hollywood, Washington, New York. Yeah, yeah, I

919
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: agree with you.

920
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 3: Okay.

921
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 2: So the Episcopal Church, who has had a long standing

922
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 2: partnership with the federal government on resettling refugees, they said

923
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 2: that the last straw was the Trump administration trying to

924
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 2: resettle Africanners.

925
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 3: These are white South Africans, many of them.

926
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 2: These stories have gone viral, being murdered on their own

927
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 2: land as they are trying to farm, and President Trump

928
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: is trying to resettle them. You're seeing the group of

929
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 2: them there, and someone pointed out.

930
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 3: Oh, look at all those women and children.

931
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 2: You certainly didn't see that within the refugee mix from

932
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:42,720
Speaker 2: a lot of other countries.

933
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I think that this is a big human

934
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: rights issue, and the fact that the Episcopal Church doesn't

935
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: want to protect white people from discrimination or harm or

936
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: meaningful asylum claims, you know, maybe we're better off not

937
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: having them as a vendor or contractor. This whole refugee

938
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:07,959
Speaker 1: slash illegal immigration nonprofit system needs to be turned upside down.

939
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: It is at the heart of what a lot of

940
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: people believe is a human trafficking ring subsidized by you

941
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: and me, the taxpayers and under the tax code. But

942
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, Catholic charities, loof and Services, Episcopal Church and

943
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: many others. They all have good sounding names, and I'm

944
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 1: sure they have even good intention people. But if you're

945
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: allowing and enabling the cartels to bring children to this

946
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 1: country under the most horrific and dangerous circumstances I could imagine,

947
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: you're not doing good for the world. I'm sorry, no

948
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: matter how you can't convince me of it. And I

949
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: just think that whole nonprofit thing needs to be shaken

950
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: upside down and see what falls out of that tree.

951
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 2: Listen, the road to hell. They all started out as

952
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 2: good intentions, and look with it. Yeah, all right, very

953
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 2: quickly before we go. In a few mondays, we will

954
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 2: have Memorial Day. The original or the initial record was

955
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 2: forty four million Americans traveling more than fifty miles.

956
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 3: It's a new record at forty five million people who

957
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 3: are to be traveling. Gas prices are down.

958
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: Everybody's feeling a little loosey goosey worth their guess saying for.

959
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: One, k's are up today, gas prices are down. The

960
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: economy is starting to feel like that golden age that

961
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: we keep talking about. We told people be patient that

962
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: this would play out, and thus far it's playing out

963
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: exactly like we said. But yeah, I think the fact

964
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: that people are traveling assigned that they're a little more

965
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: confident the economy than the media.

966
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 3: Lets you know, yep, do you.

967
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 2: Think it's gonna be a ghost town around DC? I

968
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,439
Speaker 2: know a lot of lawmakers are going.

969
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: To be and no, it could be some ghosts. If

970
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: they don't get this bill done, there's gonna be some

971
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: really angry people in Washington. Yeah, my guess is it

972
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: Efty's up and they don't. They're not going to hit

973
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: the mad deadline. They're going to be in July fourth.

974
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 2: Now those lawmakers may be going back to their districts

975
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 2: during the recess.

976
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 3: But they they may be run out of town on

977
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 3: a rail and back to DC so that they can

978
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:41,959
Speaker 3: actually get something done.

979
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to get the con job out of.

980
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,800
