1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back in everybody to Clay and Buck. We're talking

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: about the mom Donnie Cammy mom Donnie. He is going

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: to be in the White House tomorrow, so I always

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: got that going for him, which is nice. But we

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: are looking at what this is going to be like

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: VIP email from Pamela. Thanks Buck for reminding me to

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: laugh sometimes at the Democrat antics rather than just feel

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: anger or fear. It's much healthier to recognize it for

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: what it is. Keep the face, keep the faith, preserve

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: my sanity. You guys are the best. Uh well, yes, yes, indeed,

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: thank you. We try. We try to be happy warriors here.

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: You know, we're in the fight. But look, it's the

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: day to day is stress one hard enough. If we

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: want you to come here, get a lot of great information,

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: get insights, you know, have people like Governor DeSantis and

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson fill you in on what's happening from

17
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: the very top levels of government, respectively, in their different spheres.

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: But also have fun. You know, we want you to

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: have fun obviously every day. It's because it's more fun

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: for us too. So I really I really appreciate that.

21
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: I just had to open up with the jasmine crack

22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: the thing today. Do you realize that a man named

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein? You know, I I grew up in Manhattan,

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: and I think there were there were several Jeffrey Epstein's

25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: in my general vicinity. I didn't even I didn't even

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: think about it until now. Oh my gosh, it's amazing.

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: It is amazing. Also, VIP email from William writes, Hey Bock,

28
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: to continue the fun, we should go to Jasmine's website

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: and donate to her campaign using the name Jeffrey Epstein. Well, don't,

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: don't donate in someone else's name. But I get the joke,

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's oh man, funny, funny stuff, funny stuff.

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: All right, Now, we got this Mom Donnie meeting tomorrow.

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: What what's really an issue here? And I think that

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: there's gonna be an effort to well, first of all,

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: it's going to be an effort to make Mamdaniism and

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: Clay and I have talked about this a lot an

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: issue for the midterms. I don't know how much how

38
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: well that will work. I think the cost of things

39
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: is a huge decider of where this midterm is going

40
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: to go. Whether you know, who makes the case that

41
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: they're better at handling costs. I was just actually reading

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago a piece I can't remember

43
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: Wall Street, You're on thear time. I read all these

44
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: different newspapers constantly, so I can't keep straight sometimes where

45
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: I read it. But as you know, one of the

46
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: big Mumdani plans is a rent freeze. I'm going to

47
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: freeze the rent. And this is one of these ideas

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: that I get it. It sounds good. Look, oh the

49
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: rent's going to be frozen. A lot of people now

50
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound good of your landlord. We'll get to that,

51
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: but oh, you know, the rent's going to be frozen,

52
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: because yeah, New York rent is very high. Why is

53
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: New York and very high? This is true in a

54
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: lot of cases, Okay, a lot of places. It's not.

55
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: New York is a test case for this, but it's

56
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: same things true for house building in Los Angeles County?

57
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: Is that the county?

58
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: LA?

59
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: It's La County, right, yeah, Los Angeles County. Same thing's

60
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: true in a lot of very left wing districts in

61
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: this and counties in this country. What makes the cost

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: so high are things like labor cost, regulatory cost, and

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: then market conditions as well. Do a lot of people

64
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: want to live where you want to live. There's also

65
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: a supply and demand aspect of it, but there are

66
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: artificial constraints on the supply and demand as a result

67
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: of government intervention. Right, this is where Hyak it's a

68
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: little dry, but Hyak's road to serve them is so

69
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: good because Hyak makes the case that and it's very

70
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: important to remember, government intervention in markets begets more government

71
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: intervention in markets. The more the government tries to play god,

72
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: so to speak, in where you can live and what

73
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: you pay and what you can buy and all this,

74
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: then there's this tendency for them to say, oh, we've

75
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: created a distortion in the market, let's fix it with

76
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: more government regulation. And you all see this in your

77
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: day to day life. You know, whenever the government has

78
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: done something, you're like, well, that's a dumb idea. What

79
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: happens later when everyone realizes the dumb idea, does the

80
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: government say let's stop doing the dumb thing. No, they

81
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: generally want to do another dumb thing to fix the

82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: dumb thing that they should not have done in the

83
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: first place. And with that, I bring you rent control

84
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: or a rent freeze, both of them applicable here in

85
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: New York City. Oh, let's just freeze the rent. Well,

86
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: does that freeze the cost? Does that freeze taxes on

87
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 1: the people own these buildings? You know, this is where

88
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: you start to see the destructive hand of government and markets.

89
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: And Mom, Donnie fundamentally does not. This is where he's

90
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: a commie. Well, we'll just you know, we'll give more

91
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: to people and then they'll have more stuff than everybody.

92
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: Everybody will be happy. But no, what about the hand

93
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: that takes What about the government hand that says, well,

94
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: that's mine now, and I'm going to give it to

95
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: somebody else. That redistributive mechanism. You think about housing stock

96
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: in New York City, there are fifty thousands, fifty thousand

97
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: housing units, mostly apartments, some multifamilies and homes and stuff,

98
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: But fifty thousand places where a person or a family

99
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: could live that are off the market, off the market

100
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: entirely and in disrepair, unlivable. They've got you know, they

101
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: had some kind of a flood, or they have an

102
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: asbaestos problem, or they have whatever it is. And you

103
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: know why they're off the market and not going to

104
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: be on the market because New York City pass laws

105
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: that make it impossible for them, for the landlords to

106
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: recoup the cost of what it would be to make

107
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: the place livable. So so you want to talk about

108
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: artificial housing constraints, These are already These are domiciles that

109
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: would be ready to go. You got to put some

110
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: money into them. But the landlords realize if I can

111
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: only if I have to spend let's just make this

112
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: kind of simple, A one bedroom, a one bedroom apartment.

113
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: And if I spend fifty thousand, I'm a landlord in

114
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: New York. Right there we go. I spend fifty thousand

115
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: dollars to bring that apartment up to code, make it nice,

116
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: make it you know, clean, safe, somebody's going to want

117
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: to live there. But I can only raise the rent

118
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: from what it used to be fifty dollars a month

119
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars a month. I'm never going to recoup

120
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: my investment. I would need to raise the rent, you know,

121
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a month, or fifteen hundred dollars a month,

122
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, and they won't allow it.

123
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: And so as a result of all these young people

124
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: like I can't afford to live in New York. Well,

125
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: that's because the idiot politicians who run New York City,

126
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: which is only possible. Also, the New York bureaucracy is

127
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: only possible because of the one percent of high earners

128
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: in New York who fund all of the madness. Also

129
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: true in California. If one percent of New Yorkers left,

130
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean that full one percent of top earners, if

131
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: all of them left, the whole the whole city budget,

132
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you'd lose half of the revenue be gone.

133
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: So because New York has such a concentration of extremely

134
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: high earners, they're able to get away with a lot

135
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: of really bad policy. It's a bit like a a

136
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: national government that has a tremendous amount of oil. They

137
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: can get away with a lot of really bad policy

138
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: because oil is gonna pay a lot of the bills.

139
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: And that's that's like having an ATM machine that's just

140
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: spewing out money when you have I think New York

141
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: has more obviously more billionaires than anywhere else in the country,

142
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: and more extreme high earners, although the Bay are maybe

143
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: the Bay Area actually now I'd have to look at

144
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: the numbers. Because of all the tech stuff. There's tremendous

145
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: high earners there too. But if you had a flight

146
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: of just even half of that one percent, the whole city,

147
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: even twenty five percent of that one percent, ten percent

148
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: of that one percent, the city budget just can't can't work,

149
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: can't function. You start to think about how you get

150
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: a state in that a federal bailout or something. So

151
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: my problem with Mom Donnie, my mom Donnie ism is

152
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: he has no response to what I said, other other

153
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: than to grin and tell people we're gonna make it

154
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: better for you. What I just explained is the reality

155
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: that there are artificial constraints on housing that make the

156
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: existing housing more expensive. And instead of dealing with those

157
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: constraints and letting the market a lot of people want

158
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: to live in New York, they could build a lot

159
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: more housing in New York. But instead of dealing with

160
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: that properly, he's going to punish the people that you

161
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: actually need to incentivize, landlords, builders, developers. He's going to

162
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: punish them more and make the problem worse, make scarcity

163
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: a bigger issue. This is exactly what's going to go on.

164
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: And then there's the immigration and enforcement side of Oh wait, sorry, here,

165
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: here we go Mom Dannie on day one plan. This

166
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: is why I was thinking about this. I got so

167
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: fired up at even the first order of business is

168
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: to freeze the rent play thirteen.

169
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that the first order of business will

170
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 2: frankly be the Rent Guidelines Board and freezing the rent

171
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: for more than two million rent stabilized tenants, something that

172
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: happens on an annual basis here in New York City.

173
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: The other two, as you referred to, is making buses

174
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 2: fast and free and delivering universal childcare. And just this

175
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: past week I had a great meeting with the Governor

176
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: where we spoke about our shared focus on an affordability

177
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: agenda and on universal childcare particularly, And this is something

178
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: that will take a period of time. These are all

179
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: promises that I intend to keep over the time that

180
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 2: I am mayor. And I also know that what they

181
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: had the potential to do is transform New Yorker's ability

182
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: to live in the city.

183
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: This is true, and I know this is going to

184
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: sound flippant. You know where they had universal childcare as

185
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: a matter of policy, the Soviet Union. They did. Do

186
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: you think it was any good? No? No, you did

187
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: not want your kids to be in that, But they

188
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: did have it so they could have mom and dad

189
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: in the factories, the factories that didn't produce very much,

190
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: the factories where they pretended to work and the owners

191
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: pretended to or the government pretended to pay them because

192
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: they were the owners. It's astonishing that this is where

193
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: we are, a rent freeze in New York. This guy

194
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: got elected. This is the problem with Democrats everybody, and

195
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: I know for a lot of you're like buck, I

196
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: live in Texas. Why do I care? Because this is

197
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: Democrats at the national level too. This is how they

198
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: think about everything. They approach it like a child would

199
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: approach the problem, instead of looking at what caused it

200
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: and brought it to this point. It's like, well, what

201
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: bandit can I put on it to make it better?

202
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: Now?

203
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: What lipstick can I put on the pig, so to speak,

204
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: to make it prettier. They don't actually look at root causes.

205
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: They pretend to care about root causes. They don't care

206
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: about root causes. They pretend to care about what got

207
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: us here. The worst thing you can do for housing

208
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: affordability in New York City overall is more stupid policy

209
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: that makes it impossible for there to be more units

210
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: on the market, more units being built. That's the worst

211
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: thing you can do, and that's what he's doing. So

212
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: this guy got elected largely on an issue where not

213
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: only will he fail to make it better, he is

214
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: inevitably going to make it worse. And this is the

215
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: part that will really drive a lot of us crazy,

216
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: and certainly a lot of New York is crazy. And

217
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: he will take no responsibility for it. When he fails,

218
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: it'll be somebody else. It'll be the rich, the fat cats,

219
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: the millionaires and the billion is. It'll be some class

220
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: warfare nonsense, or it's Donald Trump's. It actually probably be

221
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's fault, which is one of the reasons why

222
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: I think Trump and Mom Donnie meeting tomorrow is so interesting,

223
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: because Mom Donnie has Trump built up as the boogeyman

224
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: who will be the excuse for whatever failures Mam Donnie

225
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: has in New York City, whatever real market or real

226
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: economic failures there are. He'll say, well, it's Trump's fault.

227
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: Does he have to explain that. No, it's just going

228
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: to be something that he says that makes him feel good.

229
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: So we'll see. I'll take your calls on this.

230
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 3: And uh.

231
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: And also I want to talk about this video that

232
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: was made, this video that was put out like a

233
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: commercial about not obeying the legal orders from a bunch

234
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: of Democrat politicians, including a Senator Slotkin, whom I know

235
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: she wants to be president. By the way, not gonna happen,

236
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: but talk about it. Come ou up here in a

237
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: little bit. When tragedy tried. When tragedy strikes the TUNNELA

238
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: Towers Foundation honors America's heroes and their families. Heroes like

239
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: United States specialist Andy Kingsley. Andy served our nation with

240
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: honor as part of the eighty second Airborne Division. Throughout

241
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: his distinguished career, he received various awards and decorations, including

242
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: a Purple Heart. But while Andy was deployed, he was

243
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: severely injured. The incident resulted in the loss of his

244
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: right leg, partial vision, loss vision loss, a traumatic brain injury,

245
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: and more. He spent over a year at Walter Reed

246
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: National Medical Center learning how to navigate life with his injuries.

247
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: Living with severe combat injuries can make even life's daily

248
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: tasks challenging. That's why receiving a specially adapted mortgage free

249
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: smart home from Talented Towers has been life changing for Andy.

250
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: It allows him to live with greater independence and dignity.

251
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: This is the power of giving to tunnel to Towers.

252
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,199

Speaker 1: DeSantis joins us now the governor of my great home

262
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: state of Florida. Mister Governor, thank you for making the

263
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: time for us.

264
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: Cole, it's good to be with you.

265
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 5: How are you.

266
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mat You're just doing such a good job. Honestly,

267
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: my wife and I were the were the relatively new Floridians,

268
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: although she grew up here, but we moved back here

269
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: and uh, it's just nice to be in a state

270
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: where saying I always tell the audience, I'm like good.

271
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: Insane things are happening that I don't even know about.

272
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: I read about things that you guys are doing up

273
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: in Tallahassee and go, oh that makes sense. I like

274
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: that idea. You know, when I was in New York,

275
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: I was like, can we stop the crazy for five minutes?

276
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: Can we just stop the crazy? And bother of the

277
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: answer is generally no, Let's start with this possibility because

278
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: this is interesting. This has gotten some some pretty big

279
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: names the commentary space have been having a little back

280
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: and forth online. You support getting rid of homesteaded property

281
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: tax in this state. Can you walk through why, how

282
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: and whether this is something you think we can actually

283
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: get done.

284
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 6: So One, if you look at what's pinching people, property

285
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 6: taxes is one of the biggest things that's pinching people,

286
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 6: particularly young families. Why because property valuations have gone up,

287
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 6: and so you'll have somebody that's had a house for

288
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 6: thirty years, they're homesteaded. You have a young family bought

289
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 6: a house three years ago. Their valuation is way higher,

290
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 6: so they're paying a much higher amount in property taxes.

291
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 6: You have to sell a house, maybe you get transferred

292
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 6: from Miami to Tampa, you buy high tax bases and

293
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 6: you're there. So we do have homestead protection. It does

294
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 6: limit the increases, but even that it compounds three percent

295
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 6: a year. So taxes is something that we're completely in

296
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 6: control of. I can't control the price of housing. I mean,

297
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 6: we can do some things to have a good market.

298
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 6: You know, we have done big insurance reforms and we

299
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 6: now have seventeen new companies come in and our biggest

300
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 6: insured peninsula just did a rebate or just did an

301
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 6: eight percent reduction, and so we're had in no storms

302
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 6: this year, so we think they'll be positive things there.

303
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 6: But ultimately that's a private market. We control the tax

304
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 6: So here are some numbers. If you in the state

305
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 6: of Florida gets no property tax revenue, I have a surplus,

306
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 6: I have a matched out rainy day fund. I don't

307
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 6: get property tax revenue. I don't need it. So anyone

308
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 6: that tells you all the student's going to have to

309
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 6: raise that, no, we we. In fact, I'm going to

310
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 6: give money to some of these local governments that are

311
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 6: more fiscally constrained to make up. So so that's the

312
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 6: first thing. It's all administered and decided by your local authorities,

313
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 6: and they get one hundred percent.

314
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: Of the revenue.

315
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 6: If you go to COVID, you go right before COVID

316
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 6: twenty nineteen, local governments in Florida brought into total of

317
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 6: thirty two billion dollars in property taxes. You know how

318
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 6: much they're bringing in today six years later, fifty six

319
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 6: billion dollars. Now, Listen, we have had inflation, we've had

320
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 6: head population growth, but it hadn't been that much, and

321
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 6: so they're spending this money that this gusher of property

322
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 6: tax revenue they're spending. And we've been doging the local governments,

323
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 6: blazing Golia, our CFOs doing a fantastic job.

324
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 3: You know, he's exposing hundreds of.

325
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 6: Millions of dollars in Miami Dade, in Jacksonville and all

326
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 6: these places that they're over spending. So that's just the

327
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 6: first thing. We've had a huge increase in the size

328
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 6: and scope of local governments because they're getting this.

329
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 5: Now.

330
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 6: Another fact, if you take all the property tax revenue,

331
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 6: you have residential and business. The residential the majority of

332
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 6: it is non homesteaded Floridians, so second homes, snowbirds, airbnb rentals,

333
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 6: you name it. That's the majority of residential property tax revenue.

334
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 6: And then you have the corporate or the business tax revenue.

335
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 6: So the total amount of residential Florida homestead property tax

336
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 6: revenue is between thirty and thirty three percent of all

337
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 6: of this. Now, mind you, the budgets have gone up

338
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 6: way more than thirty percent in the last few years.

339
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 6: So our view is is, well, what if you own

340
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 6: your home and then you stop paying taxes in twenty

341
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 6: years the government takes it from you. So that really

342
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 6: home ownership. And I think Florida we're in a situation

343
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 6: and we're still working on the particulars because the details

344
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 6: do matter, and we're going to have something very positive

345
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 6: for all this. But we are in a unique position

346
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 6: where so much of our tax base is comprised of

347
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 6: people that aren't even full time residents. People that own

348
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 6: these big luxury you know houses are they stay in

349
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 6: for three three months? I'd rather them take the tax

350
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 6: that have you know a cop that's got a house

351
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 6: worth four hundred thousand dollars in Miami. So we the

352
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 6: luxury of being able to relieve our citizens of more

353
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 6: and more burden of taxation. So so that's the nature

354
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 6: of it. Now you've mentioned there have been some stuff.

355
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 6: All I can tell you is like having watched debates

356
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 6: when you all of a sudden start seeing the same

357
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 6: talking points sprouting up just like magically. You know that

358
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 6: that's coordinated, right, that's an op. So there's some people

359
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 6: out there who don't want to see this, and it's

360
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 6: being orchestrated, but none of the arguments really makes sense

361
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 6: against it. And a lot of these people, I think

362
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 6: all of them don't even live in Florida.

363
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 5: So we have a specific.

364
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 6: Way we want to go for Floridians that will make

365
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 6: a difference. Another thing, buck just because there's a whole there.

366
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 6: You got to think out what are the incentives and

367
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 6: how this So, for example, I don't want to do

368
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 6: a situation where it's going to incentivize people to flood

369
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 6: into the state to claim a tax benefit from other states.

370
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 6: So it's going to be structured in a way that

371
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 6: you know what you elected, Mendami. You're not going to

372
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,239
Speaker 6: just be able to come down here and get and

373
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 6: get no.

374
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: Homestead property tax like that.

375
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 6: You're going to have to be somebody that's been here

376
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 6: for longer now any citizen is here now, you're one

377
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 6: hundred percent. So there's all these different things that we're

378
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 6: working on. We're working on it very smartly, and I've

379
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 6: got a lot of people that are working on it, but.

380
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 2: The goal is to have something on the.

381
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 6: Ballot in November of twenty twenty six where voters will

382
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 6: be able to vote for it or not.

383
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: Well, you know where I stand on this one, and

384
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: I've been talking about it for a while and I

385
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: think it's really important. And one thing that I see

386
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: is also a lot of people who would perhaps even

387
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: want to move within this state, they don't want it,

388
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, if they want to get a little more

389
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: space or whatever it may be. They're worried if they

390
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: have to pay at the new rate on property. You know,

391
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: property tax creates all these often I think, problematic disincentives

392
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: in the market. So that's an issue that people don't

393
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: talk about enough. But the opposition to this, you know,

394
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: I've seen I know actually some of the people publicly

395
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: who are very like, no, you have to someone has

396
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: to pay the taxes. Is it just some philosophical oh,

397
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: we can't give away more to the boomers or are

398
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: their special interests who are aligned against this? Because honestly,

399
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: I think and I'm sure you know this, other states

400
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: are looking to see how this goes here and they

401
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: might want to do some restructuring too.

402
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, first of all, I think it's both.

403
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 6: I don't think it's I don't think those are mutually exclusive.

404
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 6: But you know, there's this argument that somehow this is

405
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 6: a quote giveaway to boomers. Now, first of all, Buck,

406
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 6: I think you and I agree if if I reduce

407
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 6: your taxes, I'm not giving you anything like like, that's

408
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 6: your property, you own it, it's not the governments. And

409
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 6: so we go in this situation where like are you

410
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 6: an AOC or an Obama view where everything belongs to

411
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 6: the government, and then government determines you.

412
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: Know, what you get to keep.

413
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 6: No, my default is you own your home, you get

414
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 6: your income, You get one hundred percent of your income

415
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 6: in floridacause when I have an income tax, any tax

416
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 6: we cut, you're just keeping more of what you already

417
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 6: have had. You earned your home, you purchased that home.

418
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 6: So philosophically, when they're talking about give away way with

419
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 6: respect to reducing taxes, to me, that's a leftist argument. Second,

420
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 6: and you brought it up indirectly elderly people. Now there

421
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 6: are some elderly that are getting strapped with the taxes too,

422
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 6: because they're on fixed income. Their taxes don't lose as

423
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 6: much because they're home seaded, but it still compounds over

424
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 6: many years, and so they're being in a situation where

425
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 6: it's tough. But if you're in a typical residential community

426
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 6: in Florida and you have somebody that's lived in a

427
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 6: home for thirty years and then you have a young

428
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 6: couple that bought a house, say in twenty twenty one,

429
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 6: that young couple is going to have a much higher

430
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 6: tax basis for property tax. They are going to pay

431
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 6: way more in property tax than the elderly homeowner who's

432
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 6: been grandfathered in on the homestead limitation for the last

433
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 6: however many decades. So if you're doing a home seat

434
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 6: exemption the young family, they gain way more with respect

435
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 6: to the total dollar amount that they're doing. So I

436
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 6: think of what it does is that when you have

437
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 6: people out of state, they don't understand how Florida works.

438
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 6: You know, they somehow think that like, you know, elderly

439
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 6: person has a half million dollar home, young couple has

440
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 6: a half million dollar home. Oh yeah, the elderly is

441
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 6: getting as the same benefit. In reality, that is just

442
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 6: not the way it works. Because of people having owned

443
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 6: their home so you know, I think that it's it

444
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 6: clearly is not being done with people that are actually

445
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 6: in Florida.

446
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: I want to do.

447
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 6: But I do think some of it is special interest.

448
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 6: But I do think some of it is ideological, and

449
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 6: I think it's more of a left bent.

450
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I again, I totally agree with that one. And

451
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: they are this audience already knows that, so that's not

452
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: anything new. I'm I'm a little surprised to see some

453
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: of the voices quite honestly that are on the right

454
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: who seem to be have a problem with this. I

455
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: think it's bizarre. But anyway, I actually wanted to if

456
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: I could. Now you probably saw this governor tomorrow of

457
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: Trump and Mom Donnie are meeting, and I just think

458
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for you to just in the

459
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: broadest terms, we have a huge Florida audience, we have

460
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: a huge New York audience, and obviously people all across

461
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: the country are listening. You have more people in this state, right,

462
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: twenty one million and twenty half the budget, Yeah, half

463
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: the budget of New York. How is that possible? Like,

464
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: what is New York doing? How is it spending twice

465
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: as much money with less people?

466
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 6: Well, not only that, buck New York City has eight

467
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 6: million people. In New York City's budget is bigger than

468
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 6: the entire state of Florida's budget, and we have close

469
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 6: to twenty three and a half million people. And that's

470
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 6: before Mondami, you know, takes over the grocery stores and

471
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 6: does things.

472
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 5: That's going to cost even more.

473
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 6: Buddy, it's crazy, what would happened. So I think a

474
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 6: lot of it is, you know, they direct money to

475
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 6: special interest They have different people who are kind of

476
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 6: part of their patronage network. In Florida, you will always

477
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 6: spend money on you know. Obviously, you know, we have

478
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 6: a federal state that that does medicate as all states do,

479
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 6: where we didn't expand it under Obamacare, but.

480
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: We do of that portion.

481
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 6: Education, the state has a big role in helping to

482
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 6: fund school districts as well as our school choice scholarship program,

483
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 6: which has a half a million students on it now. Infrastructure,

484
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 6: I've been able to accelerate projects all around the state

485
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 6: of Florida, so we're delivering some five or ten years

486
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 6: ahead of schedule, and that's meaningful for people in terms

487
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 6: of their family time and not to be in traffic

488
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 6: so much. And I know there's other We got a

489
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 6: lot of work in some other Miami's tougher because it's

490
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 6: it's harder to build in different areas, But in other

491
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 6: parts of the state we've made really good progress, I.

492
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 3: Think on that.

493
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 6: And then we've done the biggest conservation program and environmental

494
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 6: restoration with Florida's Everglades, which is a huge success that

495
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 6: we've done. We did a Florida Wildlife Corridor because we

496
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 6: don't want the whole state to be a concrete jungle.

497
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 6: So we're spending money on things that really matter to people.

498
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 6: But that's really what we spend it on. I think

499
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 6: New York it's all about kind of of whoever's in

500
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 6: the barnacles attached to the ship and all the different

501
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 6: constituencies in the Democratic Party, they're doing it.

502
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: And it's interesting.

503
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 6: They'll say, oh, well, you know they're they they pay

504
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 6: better pension benefits, you know, for their police officers and fire. Well,

505
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 6: the thing is a lot of those people move to

506
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 6: Florida and spend.

507
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 3: Those pensions in Florida.

508
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 6: So it's like you're doing that and it's like benefiting

509
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 6: our economy down here because you're driving these people away.

510
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 6: But I really think, you know, in terms of there's

511
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 6: obviously a big different stream the president and and Mandami.

512
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 6: Mandami's going to do dumb things in terms of the economy.

513
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 6: He's going to try to raise taxes. He's obviously going

514
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 6: to be governed by a woke agenda, educational stuff for

515
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 6: all that.

516
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 3: But the number one thing that's going to try to

517
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 3: people out of that city is that he hates the police.

518
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: He wanted to bolish the NMPD. He thinks you should

519
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 3: send social workers to answer the nine one one calls.

520
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 3: So he goes down that road and it was bad

521
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 3: under the Blasio. It didn't get much better under the

522
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: current mayor. But I think he's going to build the

523
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 3: Blasio looks like a writing. I mean, it's.

524
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: Gonna be really scary. I think that's the place. Unfortunately,

525
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: having worked with the NYPD for a short while, Governor,

526
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: I can tell you that's the place where the mayor

527
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: he is kind of the alpha endomega, like he can

528
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: make the determinations about what policing is like in the

529
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: city these other things, the economic things probably can't. But

530
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: Governor of Santists of Flora, thank you, sir for all

531
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: you do. Please keep up the phenomenal work and come

532
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: back and talk to us again soon about what you're

533
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: up to.

534
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 3: Okay, Roger, that bye bye.

535
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: The Preborn Network of Clinics has a nationwide team of

536
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: people looking after the lives of unborn children. It's a

537
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: staff of people who are truly saving lives every day.

538
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: This past year, they save the lives of sixty seven

539
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: thousand unborn children. When a woman walks into what A

540
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: Preborn's clinics, she's welcomed with open arms. She's introduced to

541
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: her baby through an ultrasound, and for the first time

542
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: she sees life not lost, and she's offered hope filled choices.

543
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: When she chooses life, Preborn continues walking with her for

544
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: up to two years, providing maternity clothes, diapers, counseling, and

545
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: so much more. Preborn cares for the whole woman and

546
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: the precious baby growing insider. As you think about your

561
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: with Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin joining us. Senator appreciate

562
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: you as always, sir, thanks for.

563
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 5: Calling in well, Buck, I hope you're doing well.

564
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, things are great here. Let's let's get right

565
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: to it. This revelation that came out, it was a

566
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: combination of reporting from Miranda Devine, Tucker Carlson on Thomas Crooks,

567
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: the would be assassin of Donald Trump, that really the

568
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: first of two would be assassins, but the one who

569
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: actually got shots off and managed to shoot the President

570
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: in the ear. There seems to be information that maybe

571
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: the FBI had but didn't publicly release or first let

572
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: me ask you about that What do you make of

573
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: this that there were some accounts online that we weren't

574
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: told about that indicated at least at some level, Thomas

575
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: Crooks had become a using trans pronouns all this kind

576
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: of stuff. What do you make of this? Did the

577
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: FBI probably know and just not talk about it, or

578
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: did they miss it or what?

579
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 5: Well, again, I've got a great deal of sympathy for

580
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 5: cash matel and Bongino Tambondi going to these agencies trying

581
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 5: to root out the deep state actors that many are

582
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 5: still burrowed in, unable to really hire the kind of

583
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 5: staff they need because of the lawfare against good people

584
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 5: like judged troops in Wisconsin and others. They're they're kind

585
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 5: of reluctant to join the trumpministration during their career be destroyed.

586
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 5: So I've got I want to start there. I've got

587
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 5: a great deal of simpthon these guys come into office,

588
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 5: They've got enormous messes they're trying to clean up, actually

589
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 5: turn these agencies into what they were meant to be

590
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 5: crime fighting units for the standpoint of the FBI. But

591
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 5: at the same time, I'll say I've been frustrating. We

592
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 5: tried to undertake by Parisian investigation, and then we did

593
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 5: some work but buying large what we found out about

594
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 5: Butler was pretty well gleaned by my investory staff in

595
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 5: the first week, primarily talking to local law officials. I

596
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 5: issued what I considered the friendly subpoena into the FBI

597
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 5: to help prompt more documents, more more information coming forward

598
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 5: with our liaison of the FBI actually thanked this for

599
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 5: the subpoena. But the fact matters, we really have not

600
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 5: gotten much. So we've had to go out and contact

601
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 5: phone carriers and social media companies. We're starting to get information.

602
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 5: We're piecing things together. You know, there are things that

603
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 5: are interesting that we need to kind a complete the

604
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 5: investigation before we start publishing. But no, there's an awful

605
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 5: lot unknown about Thomas Crooks that, from my standpoint, we

606
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 5: should have known quite some time ago.

607
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: Just so I'm clear on this, Senator, there's an awful

608
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: lot that the public should know about that you think

609
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: the FBI has and has not made public, Or there's

610
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: more that the FBI maybe didn't find.

611
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 5: It's just probably both both.

612
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, yeah.

613
00:31:54,760 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 5: You know again, we Yeah, I mean, I'm frustrated. Fucker's

614
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 5: no doubt about it. But again, I don't want to

615
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 5: be throwing fast Tela Dan Bonzi under the bus, because yeah,

616
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 5: we would, just so you.

617
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: Know, Senator, we don't do that. You know. We know

618
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: cash and and Dan here. They're friends of ours I

619
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: from before they took these jobs. They took these jobs

620
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: because they want to help and they want to reform,

621
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: and they you know, and we get a lot of

622
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: heat for standing up for them here because some people

623
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: have been very frustrated with even a lot of Trump

624
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: voters have been frustrated with a transparency issue. But I

625
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: try to remind everybody these are enormous, unwieldy, bureaucratic institutions

626
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: that were really left rot from the inside under previous administrations.

627
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of work to be done.

628
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 5: There really is. So we're pursuing this. I'm pretty well

629
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 5: undertaking the investigation now from Santa San point just through

630
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 5: my firm. Subcoming investigation kind of walked away from the bike,

631
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 5: Parson because it just slowed its way down. But again,

632
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 5: all I can say is there's more information that will

633
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 5: eventually come out, uh and some that we have yet

634
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 5: not yet discovered. So we're we're still doing investigation.

635
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: Now on the transparency issue. Obviously, you were a yes

636
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: vote for releasing the Epstein files because the Senate was

637
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: unanimous in this right one member of the House. Everyone

638
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: else voted for it. One member of the House is look,

639
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm his concern was that he thinks that there are

640
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: people that will be tainted who didn't do anything wrong,

641
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: but their name is just in some Okay, so that

642
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: was his, but everybody else voted to release this thing.

643
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: Can you just tell us what your sense is of

644
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: where the president has been on this one. I know

645
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: you talked to President Trump. He is now in favor

646
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: of it, but people keep asking to say, well, why

647
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: is he in favor of it now? Why has there

648
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: been this delay? And how do you see the release

649
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: of the Epstein files from the beginning of this administration

650
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: to president in terms of what's going on here, like

651
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: why has it been so stop? Start?

652
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 5: You really did a pretty good job laying out his

653
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 5: concerns about you know, information getting out of the public

654
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 5: demand that really would be harmful to victims, and is

655
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 5: that could be adequately protected and whatever gets released this time,

656
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 5: we're concerns. I think President Trump, as I would have

657
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 5: similar concerns going, is this evidence of these documents untainted?

658
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 5: You know they're in the Biden in the midst of

659
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 5: the Bide administration. Who were I mean that administration doing

660
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 5: everything they couldn't destroy Donald Trump during their four years.

661
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 5: If there's something damaging to Trump, you would think that

662
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 5: would have already been released. So I also take the

663
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 5: president's word. I mean, he just he doesn't We have

664
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 5: serious problems face the station. There are a lot of

665
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 5: things he's addressing. Do we really need this distraction? Having

666
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 5: said all that, I'm as curious as every other American

667
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 5: about what happened bringing people to justice who are pedophiles

668
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 5: that you know, engage this kind of abuse. So again,

669
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 5: I'm as curious as anybody. We didn't take a vote,

670
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 5: by the way, we just passed this by unanimous consents,

671
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 5: I think before the bill even got over here. So yeah,

672
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 5: the Senate didn't want to take much time on this.

673
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 5: That was a fight in the House. People who fought

674
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 5: for disclosure won, and now we'll see what we'll get.

675
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a rare It's a rare moment where things

676
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: just fly through and bipartis in fashion in the Congress,

677
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: so now we're is it once the President signs this

678
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: and everyone believes it's going to get signed imminently, thirty

679
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: days for the release. Is that how this goes?

680
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 5: That's right here? But yeah, they're still probably need to

681
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 5: do a review and there will be some material with

682
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 5: help and they and the while they've got I think

683
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 5: four or five very specific reasons the things that can

684
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 5: be withheld, but you know, really just reflects with the

685
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 5: public wanted to see this. And so as elected officials,

686
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 5: when you when you for a year or that's the

687
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 5: number one thing that people calling into your office is

688
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 5: you know, vote to release the Epstein files. You know,

689
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 5: in the end, representative government actually works.

690
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you have on the on the agenda here?

691
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: I know the Senate goes into recess, what next week

692
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: sometime for Thanksgiving? What are you hoping can get done

693
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: before the end of this year? Is there anything? Are

694
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: you going to try to get some judges through? How's

695
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: that going? What? What are you looking to get the

696
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: Senate to finally push over the finish line here before

697
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: we all head out for the holidays.

698
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Senate's always doing in nominations now that we

699
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 5: had to change rules because of the obnoxious obstruction of Democrats,

700
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 5: will probably clear another seventy two one hundred nominations of

701
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 5: various types. We are working healthcare by the way we

702
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 5: always have.

703
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: It's just going to here.

704
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 5: Republics have no plans, you know, we have all kinds

705
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 5: of plans. It's how do we get it passed. Democrats

706
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,280
Speaker 5: are in a complete state denial of the miserable failure

707
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 5: that Obamacare has been. The reason people's premiums are increasing

708
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 5: is because of the fault lawed design of Obamacare. So

709
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 5: we are working very diligently on that, you know which,

710
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 5: Scott is probably involved in this, probably as knowledgeable an

711
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 5: individual on healthcare in America, if not the world. So

712
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 5: we've got some good people here. I've bought health care

713
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 5: for thirty years. I'm pretty knowledgeable about as well. So

714
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 5: we're going to do this based on, you know, repairing

715
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 5: the damage done by Obamacare, properly defined the problem coming

716
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 5: up with you know, what are the principles, and President

717
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 5: Trump tweeted the main principles Rather than spend hundreds of

718
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 5: or sent hundreds of millions of dollars into these insurance companies,

719
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 5: you know, I help stock price increase seven percent sence Obamacare,

720
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 5: the slowest percent increase in stock prices four or fourteen percent,

721
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 5: So SAT filling the Conference of Insurance Companies. Why don't

722
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 5: we give that money to the American people, turn them

723
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 5: ino into consumers of health insurance and health care with

724
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 5: things like HSA accounts. So no repubitants have solutions? Is

725
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 5: how can we overcome, you know, the impediment that the

726
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 5: structure of Obamacare is with the current filibuster, which, by

727
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 5: the way, I've very been very public reluctantly, but I

728
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 5: completely agree with Press and Trump. It's time to end

729
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 5: the filibuster. The Democrats will do it. We will look

730
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 5: like schmucks in twenty twenty eight if they have all

731
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 5: the lovers of power and they do this and then

732
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 5: do it to maintain their power, as opposed to We're

733
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 5: going to do it to secure our elections, for the

734
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 5: secure border, hopefully repair the damage done by a biomacare,

735
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 5: transition to a system that works, you know, have a

736
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 5: prosperous economy, make things more affordable. You know, we would

737
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 5: use ending the filibuster for the benef of the American people,

738
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 5: not our own personal power.

739
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: Speaking of Senator Ron Johnson in Wisconsin and Senator I

740
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: want to actually circle back if I can, to the

741
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: oversight of the FBI for a moment here, because I

742
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: know you're very up to speed on the Arctic frost situation. Right.

743
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: That was the FBI investigation run under the Biden administration

744
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,439
Speaker 1: about January sixth and the twenty twenty election. It looks

745
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: like there were abuses there. What can you tell us

746
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: about what we're learning about Arctic frost and what's going

747
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: to come next?

748
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 5: Well, I think what has been revealed recently, this wasn't

749
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 5: just a mere fishing expedition. This was a massive partisan

750
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 5: dragnet really meant to cripple the Republican Party. Obviously Trump

751
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 5: was the main target that Yeah, we got, you know,

752
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 5: some members of Congress got some of our phone records

753
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 5: scooped up. But what's maybe the most outrageous is just

754
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 5: ordinary citizens. You know, all these afiliated Republican groups, but

755
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 5: for example, in Wisconsin, thirty eight wisconsinights, just god fearing,

756
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 5: country loving law enforces. Forty people were on the enemy's list.

757
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 5: So they are literally trying to destroy it. Person of

758
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 5: unbelievable terry Judge Troopas who just read presented President Trump

759
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 5: for two months after the election. There were serious problems

760
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 5: in Wisconsin. They're criminalizing that behavior. They're attempting to That's

761
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 5: what all Artie Truss is all about, criminalizing what basically

762
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 5: JFK did in Hawaii, at least alternate electors. It's just shameful.

763
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 5: And I met with the Tourney General Pam Bondi and

764
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 5: Deputy Tourney General Todd Blanche this week and they are

765
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 5: completely on board with exposure. And one of the things

766
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 5: I point out is get us the communication records between

767
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 5: Biden officials and Wisconsin officials on for example, Judge Troopas

768
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 5: you know, let's see the coordination between the Bide administration

769
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 5: and these outside groups. You know, the Mary McCord's, the

770
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 5: market alliances, you know, all these legal groups that the

771
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 5: left has that are engaged in the lawfare across the

772
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 5: board has gotten again not just against President Trump but

773
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 5: ordinary Americans. People just have to support the Republican Party

774
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 5: and President Trump. They're trying to destroy all these people.

775
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: Senator Johnson, one more for you before we let you go.

776
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: What is your favorite part of a traditional And I

777
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: don't know how you guys do it up in Wisconsin.

778
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 1: But a traditional American Thanksgiving feast. Your favorite dish.

779
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 5: I mean, it's the turkey, it's the dressing, it's the gravy,

780
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 5: it's the mass potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. That is

781
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 5: my Thanksgiving dinner. I got to have it all in

782
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 5: the right portions. I start and portion it out and

783
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 5: I end with the exact portions for that final bite.

784
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 5: We just literally had Thanksgiving lunch. John Bosemen provided it,

785
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 5: so I had a pre Thanksgiving dinner. It was fabulous.

786
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 5: Can't wait till Thursday, and I wish all you and

787
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 5: all your listeners are a very happy Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2: Take care.

791
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: The countdown of Christmas. We're just talking Thanksgiving, but the

792
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 1: countown of Christmas is on now five weeks away, and

793
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,279

819
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: All right, So, Caroline Levitt, the White House Press Secretary,

820
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: has been laying down the SmackDown on various journals, leftists, libs, reporters,

821
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: and she's covered a range of topics. I want to

822
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 1: get into some of them right now. This was interesting.

823
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: I knew this was coming, and we maybe at some

824
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: point we'll be able to have a Linda mcmahn on

825
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: she's the Department of Ed secretary. We've reached out a

826
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: little busy, see you make that happen. But looks like

827
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: the Department of Education could be going bye bye, or

828
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: at least parts of it, play Levitt on Cut twenty seven.

829
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 7: President Trump took a significant step toward delivering on a

830
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 7: core campaign promise to finally close the Department of Education

831
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 7: to shrink the blvded federal bureaucracy. The Department of Education

832
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 7: just entered into new interagency agreements with four agencies, the

833
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 7: Departments of Labor, Interior, Health and Human Services, and State.

834
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 7: These agencies will now ensure the delivery of legally required

835
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 7: programs while also refocusing them to better serve students. This

836
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 7: common sense action brings the Trump administration much closer to

837
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 7: finally returning education where it belongs at the state and

838
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 7: local level, not in Washington, d C. The Democrats reckless

839
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 7: forty three day government shutdown did manage to do one

840
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 7: valuable thing. It proved that America does not need a

841
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 7: federal Department of Education.

842
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: So they are finding a way within the bureaucratic framework

843
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: that currently exists to kind of dismantle the Department of Education.

844
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: I think that is the plan here, and that's a

845
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: good thing. That's a good thing. Does not need to be.

846
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,919
Speaker 1: There should not be a federal Department of Education. There's

847
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: no reason for this. So several of its main offices,

848
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: as she laid out here, are going to be moved

849
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: into other places, labor, interior. So this won't affect the

850
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: money that Congress gives state schools and colleges. So, but

851
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: why do we need a huge bureaucratic department as a

852
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: pass through for money that goes to state education programs.

853
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: You start to think about this, you go, hold on

854
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: a second. We have a whole agency in the Department

855
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: of Education, whole department that seems to exist to be

856
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: the pass through, the middleman for federal funds that go

857
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: into Why don't we just if we're going to give

858
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: federal money to education, give money to states that are

859
00:45:53,840 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: actually educating kids and running colleges and universities. So I

860
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: think I'm all in favor of this. Education Secretary Lenny

861
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: McMahon has started a public campaign for the end of

862
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: her department. Yes, yes, that's what you like to see

863
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: the person running it saying this should not even be

864
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: a job, this should go away. But there's been you

865
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: know that the Department Education has really just been a

866
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: progressive policy arm under the guise of education, but it's

867
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: part of really a lib deep state operation for a

868
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: long time. Because Department of Ed is so left wing,

869
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter what administration is in charge, Republican

870
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: or Democrat, the Department of ED just pushes for policies

871
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: that are left wing because that's who works there. It's

872
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: a bit like the Department or the Environmental Protection Agency

873
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: EPA is full of left wing climate change loans and

874
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter if you have a Republican administration.

875
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: You have idealogues in an agency who are pushing an

876
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: agenda and doing so against the wishes of the Republican

877
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: in the White House. So you got to clean things up,

878
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: You got to deal with the mess. Yeah, I think

879
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: this is great. You ask people what is the It's

880
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: always so fun too. I go, okay, I go into

881
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: groc as you know, I like rock a lot. What

882
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:35,479
Speaker 1: does the department a Department of Education do? And let's

883
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: just see what it says and I'll read this to you.

884
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: A cabinet level federal agency created a nineteen eighty. Its

885
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 1: main job is to oversee and support education, but it

886
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: does not run public schools. It distributes federal funding, enforces

887
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: federal education laws, and collects research at administer student financial aid.

888
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: So it's a past through for a lot of federal dollars.

889
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: And it also in terms of the civil rights stuff

890
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: with education, that's just pure you know, DEI obsessed left

891
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: wing policy stuff. There's no actual need for any no

892
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: actual need for any of this. And think about this.

893
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: How serious could the Department of Education be about civil

894
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: rights when they have been unwilling to stop the madness

895
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 1: of the gender identity disorder stuff going on in all

896
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 1: these schools where they have men pretend to be women.

897
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: How can you say you're enforcing Title nine when a

898
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: guy can say he's a girl and play on women's sports.

899
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 1: So it's the Department Education gott to go. Hope it goes.

900
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: They're moving in that direction. Democrats are going to fight

901
00:48:55,120 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: because the Democrats they get to have policy through agencies

902
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: and departments even when they lose elections. That's one of

903
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: the incredibly important revelations of the Trump era is that

904
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: if you don't actually deal with this, even when we

905
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: win elections as Republicans, you end up still with a

906
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: lot of Democrat administration or Democrat policy pushed from these places. Now.

907
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: She also spoke Caroline Levitt I also spoke about Zoran

908
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: Mamdati meeting with Trump tomorrow. This is cut twenty eight.

909
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 1: Let's hear it.

910
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 7: It speaks volumes that tomorrow we have a communist coming

911
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 7: to the White House, because that's who the Democrat Party

912
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 7: elected as the mayor of the largest city in the country.

913
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 7: I think it's very telling. But I also think it

914
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 7: speaks to the fact that President Trump is willing to

915
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 7: meet with anyone and talk to anyone and to try

916
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 7: to do what's right on behalf of the American people,

917
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 7: whether they live in blue states or red states, or

918
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 7: blue cities in a city that's becoming much more left

919
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 7: than I think this president ever anticipated in his many

920
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 7: years of living in New York himself.

921
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 1: You know why they are so touchy about the whole

922
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: communist thing because we all know that there's some truth

923
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,720
Speaker 1: to it. If it were absurd, if it weren't really

924
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: something that bothered them, then they wouldn't always so No,

925
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: it's a democratic socialist. He's a democratic socialist. You know,

926
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: there was the American I guess it still exists, but

927
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of a joke now. But the American Communist

928
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: Party grew and in the nineteen forties, I think it

929
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: was basically about one hundred thousand people. You know what happened.

930
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: They all became Democrats. You know what happened to the

931
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: communist movement in America got folded into the Democrat Party.

932
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: That's a whole other thing. That's a whole other thing.

933
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: And there are some great books on this stuff you

934
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: can read. Why do they hate Nixon so much? They

935
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: really hate Nixon so much because he was a staunch

936
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: anti communist and he worked to expose that. There are

937
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats who were willing to play footsie

938
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: with communists back in the day. But I digress on

939
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: that one. I digress. Look, I think Trump will be

940
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: as I said before, he will be himself. He'll be charming,

941
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: and funny to mom, Donnie, he'll probably be some great lines.

942
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: And what was the thing? What did Trump say to

943
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: the And I don't even know who he said it to,

944
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: so I, but he was on Air Force one and

945
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: some reporter interrupted them and he said, quiet piggy. And

946
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: the thing about this is it's just the Democrats get

947
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: they get so upset about it. They're gonna get so

948
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: angry about it, and it just encourages them to do

949
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 1: more stuff like that. Like they're not going to make

950
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 1: Trump stop being Trump. They can try, they can try

951
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: to shame his supporters. It's not gonna work. Yeah, I'd

952
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: never see that. Can you guys pull that? I don't

953
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: know I've ever it's heard it? Do we have it?

954
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: Trump's saying, quiet piggy. I hope it's not a I.

955
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: I don't think it was AI. I'm so And now

956
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,240
Speaker 1: I have to worry about any clip that I see.

957
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: This is the world we're in, my friends. There's stuff

958
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,479
Speaker 1: that it can look very real. They have programs now

959
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: that can make Trump look like he said things close

960
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: to what he said but changed the words a little bit.

961
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: This is the world that we are in right now.

962
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 1: So that's why I'm always like, oh gosh, I hope

963
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: it's not Ai, but I'm pretty sure he's I'm pretty

964
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: sure he said this one, just like I was sure

965
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: that he was meaning Mom Donnie tomorrow and he ish

966
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: the Mam Donnie disaster in New York I think is inevitable.

967
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: I hope it's not for New York's sake, uh and

968
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: for my family that are there. But I think the

969
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 1: Mam Donnie situation is likely to get really get really bad,

970
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: really bad. We'll see. And Caroline Levitt also gone into

971
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 1: an exchange with a reporter about that military PSA.

972
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 5: Can mean.

973
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: Is it really even a PSA? It's just kind of

974
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: an underhanded attack. But here sheesus cut twenty nine. Listen

975
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: to it.

976
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 8: The President and the Vice President, for that matter, have

977
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 8: accused the other side of encouraging political violence. Isn't that

978
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 8: exactly what the President is doing when he says that

979
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 8: members of Congress should be killed?

980
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 7: Why aren't you talking about what these members of Congress

981
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 7: are doing to encourage it? In cite violence, they are

982
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 7: literally saying to one point three million active duty service

983
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 7: members not to defy the chain of command, not to

984
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 7: follow lawful orders. Every single illegal order, which is they are,

985
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 7: but they're they're suggesting, Nancy that the President has given

986
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 7: illegal orders, which he has not. Every single order that

987
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 7: is given to this United States Military by this Commander

988
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 7: in chief and through this command chain of command, through

989
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 7: the Secretary of War is lawful. And the courts have

990
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 7: proven that this administration has an unparalleled record at the

991
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 7: Supreme Court because we are following the laws. We don't

992
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 7: defy court orders. We do things by the books. And

993
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 7: to suggest and encourage that active duty service members defy

994
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 7: the chain of command is a very dangerous thing for

995
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 7: sitting members of Congress to do, and they should be

996
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 7: held accountable. And that's what the President wants to see.

997
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 1: She's not messing around. And I think just based on

998
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: the number of you who are veterans yourselves or even

999
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: active duty, but veterans who have written in very unhappy

1000
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 1: with this PSA. It's meant to be. It's meant to

1001
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 1: undermine the commander in chief. Let's just be honest. It's

1002
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: meant to undermine the commander in chief. That is what

1003
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: they are doing, and it just goes with everything else.

1004
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: They have to tell stories fables to themselves to justify

1005
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,879
Speaker 1: their Trump derangement. And that's yet another example of it.

1006
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: All Right, Christmas is five weeks, is that right? Five

1007
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: weeks from today? My gosh. So for any last minute

1008
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: holiday shoppers in this audience, let me tell you you

1009
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: don't want to grab a gift card. That's the easy

1010
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: way out. All right. I've got the suggestion you're one

1011
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: stop shop for all Christmas shopping needs. Cozy Earth. This

1012
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: is what I got for all my family members in

1013
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: New York. I got my mom a bubble but pink

1014
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: bubble a cuddle blanket. I got my dad a gray

1015
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: bubble cuddle blanket. Sounds slightly more masculine when it's gray.

1016
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: It's amazing blankets though. I mean I have one downstairs

1017

Speaker 1: here that's white carry and I snuggle up with it

1018
