I'll be giving you details on that 26 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,639 Speaker 5: and have a special guest coming up. Also, Elon Musk 27 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 5: and the vag Ramaswami scheduled to meet with the Republican 28 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 5: lawmakers tomorrow, and the United Taxpayers Union recently came out 29 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 5: with a ten no brainer list. That's right, ten bipartisan 30 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 5: bill recommendations they say should be a no brainer. These 31 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 5: bills designed to help bring efficiency and transparency back to 32 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 5: the federal government. 33 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 3: I'm discussing that well as well with a guest. 34 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 5: Plus, a new report has been released that shows an 35 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 5: unprecedented assault on Christian universities during the Biden administration. It 36 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 5: reports that almost seventy percent of penalties imposed by the 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 5: Biden Harris Department of Education were made up of Christian schools. 38 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 5: Seems a little disproportionate, doesn't it. We'll have that story 39 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 5: coming up, But first I'd like to talk about Joe 40 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 5: Biden for a moment, because we have forty seven days 41 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 5: until downwot it becomes the forty seventh president or maybe 42 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 5: the forty eighth. I mean, who can tell what the 43 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 5: hell is going on with Joe Biden? Mentally or physically. 44 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 5: The blowback meanwhile, from Joe Biden giving his son a 45 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 5: blanket immunity deal by issuing a more than ten year 46 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 5: pardon for crimes he did commit, and for chrimes he 47 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 5: may have committed. It's like nothing we've ever seen. It 48 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 5: has turned millions against the lame duck commander in chief. 49 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: People are angry. 50 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 5: Nothing demonstrated elite privilege more than giving the former addict 51 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 5: a pass on his many criminal endeavors. But it may 52 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 5: come back to haunt Joe Biden before it's all said 53 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 5: and done. 54 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 3: Listen to this. 55 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 8: This is not just a pardon for two crimes. It's 56 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 8: a pardon for everything he did in ten years. I 57 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 8: think it's going to open the door to a lot 58 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 8: more investigation into Hunter Biden, because Joe Biden knows there's 59 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 8: something else he needs to pardon Hunter four besides the 60 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 8: two things that he's been in charged with. That's going 61 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 8: to Hunter no longer needs the Fifth Amendment to protect 62 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 8: him from future prosecution. He's now pardoned. 63 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: He can be compelled to cooperate. 64 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 8: He can tell us his co conspirators, He could tell 65 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 8: us other people he did business with. He tells people 66 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 8: he bought drugs from There's now a window for Hunter 67 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 8: to open up about everything goes on that laptop. 68 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: Who helped him? 69 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 8: Did Joe Biden help him? Did he ask Forreddy favors? 70 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 8: That's where we are now because Biden chose to overreach 71 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 8: with a ten yure pardon. 72 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 5: And overreach is a very mild term. I mean it 73 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 5: was egregious, Like I said, unprecedented. I'll keep an eye 74 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 5: on that and get back to you with any updates. 75 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 5: But let me be clear, a general distrust of the 76 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 5: entire Biden administration and the corruption that swirls around them 77 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 5: was one of the reasons more than seventy seven million 78 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 5: Americans cast their vote for Donald Trump to be president 79 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 5: on November the fifth. 80 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: There were also economic reasons, like the price. 81 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 5: Of milk, eggs, bread, gasoline, and the monthly electric bill. 82 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: There were also big concerns about the integrity. 83 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 5: Of the southern border and concerns about who was coming 84 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 5: into our country without ever being vetted. 85 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 3: And people had seen enough, they'd had enough. 86 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 5: But there's another issue, one that's strung right at the 87 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 5: heart of who we are. They really got a lot 88 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 5: of people's attention and whether or not you believe it. 89 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 5: I can tell you it played a big role for 90 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 5: some of the people closing the curtain and casting their votes, 91 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 5: not only for Donald trumpet for Republicans up and down 92 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 5: the ticket. 93 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 3: In fact, I would argue the. 94 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 5: Biggest cultural issue of twenty twenty four is the argument 95 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 5: over who's a man and who's a woman. The battle 96 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 5: lines over transgender issues were drawn early, and the people 97 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 5: on both sides were dug in and steadfast. On one side, 98 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 5: you have transgender activists screaming that trans rights are human rights, 99 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 5: and kids as young as two years of age no agenda. 100 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: They are no matter. 101 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 5: If they have a chew choo train or a tunnel 102 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 5: in their pants, they know, no, they don't. These people 103 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 5: would have you believe you can spin the wheel and 104 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 5: whatever it comes up is what you can be. But 105 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 5: then there's the rest of us who believe met or 106 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 5: men women or women, and allowing men to claim their 107 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 5: women to gain access to bathrooms, locker rooms, gyms, and 108 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 5: ultimately sports teams is flat out wrong. I'll stick with 109 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 5: that idea. Just because you think you can fly doesn't 110 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 5: mean you can. Those aren't real wings, sweetheart. Take my 111 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 5: word for it. You cannot fly and today we're going 112 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 5: to find out what the law has to say about 113 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 5: parents saying no to radical transgender affirming care, or as 114 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 5: they call it, and I call it radical child abuse. 115 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 3: Today the Supreme Court hearing arguments. 116 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 5: Not a case of Tennessee where the issue is whether 117 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 5: a parent or some doctor backed by the government can 118 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 5: striptmental rights and pursue radical transgender transformations. 119 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: Anyway, this could be the. 120 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 5: Most consequential case the nation's High Court will hear this year. 121 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 5: I mean, lives are literally at stake, and I want 122 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 5: you to hear from what are the lawyers that went 123 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 5: into argue. 124 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 3: In favor of chemical castration drugs. 125 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 5: A lawyer that argued that little kids know all about 126 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 5: before they know their colors or their ABC's. A lawyer 127 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 5: that I argued that permanent chemical castration and disfigurement is 128 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 5: a positive medical approach to troubled and confused kids who 129 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 5: may be suffering from other mental issues as well. Yes, 130 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 5: the American Civil Liberties Union argued that giving children powerful 131 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 5: life altering drugs and permanent body altering surgeries, even removing 132 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 5: parts of their young bodies, is somehow passionate care. I 133 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 5: can tell you clearly it's not, but I'm not in 134 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 5: front of the court today. 135 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 3: They were listen to this. 136 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 9: This is a lot that bans medical treatment only when 137 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 9: it is prescribed inconsistent with an individual's sex. Our argument 138 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 9: is that that treats people differently because of their sex, 139 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 9: and therefore the court has to treat it like all 140 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 9: other forms of sex discrimination, and that's why it's unconstitutional. 141 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 10: What do you say to physicians who are sensitive and 142 00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 10: supportive of trans kids. Obviously don't want to sido ideation, 143 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 10: et cetera, But wonder if there is enough data as 144 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 10: of now to prove that it is beneficial to allow 145 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 10: these sort of treatments before the age of eighteen. 146 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 9: So I would say three things, And the first is, 147 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 9: we have decades of both clinical experience and research data 148 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 9: showing that this is medical treatment that provides critical benefits 149 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 9: to adolescence who need it, and so this is not 150 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 9: new This is not new medication, and so we have 151 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 9: that information. We have long term studies that track people 152 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 9: for five six years. The Supreme Court this week urt 153 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 9: arguments in an FDA case which the FDA referred to 154 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 9: long term as being six months of follow up. Here 155 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 9: we have years of follow up. Nobody has to provide 156 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 9: this medication to adolescens. These are not doctors being forced 157 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 9: to provide this medication. These are doctors who are wanting 158 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 9: to treat their patients in the best way that they 159 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 9: know how, based on the best available evidence to us. 160 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 9: And these are young people who may have known since 161 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 9: they were two years old exactly who they are, who 162 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 9: suffered for six seven years before they had any relief. 163 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 9: And what's happening here. It's not the kids who are 164 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 9: consenting to this treatment, it's the parents who are consenting 165 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 9: to the treatment. And as a parent, I would say 166 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 9: we when our children are suffering, we are suffering. And 167 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 9: these are parents who love their children, who are listening 168 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 9: to the advice of their doctors, of the mainstream medical community, 169 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 9: and doing what's right for their kids. In the state 170 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 9: of Tennessee has displaced their judgment. 171 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: Can you believe what you heard there? 172 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,239 Speaker 5: The biggest takeaway of what you heard right there, The ACLU, 173 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 5: the American Civil Liberties Union, believes. 174 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 3: That two year old thing she forgot to mention is 175 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: that some women who. 176 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 5: Try to become men and vice versa, have regrets, lifelong regrets, 177 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 5: and no way to ever recover. 178 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 3: Listen to this. 179 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 4: The Supreme Court is hearing a case as to whether 180 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 4: Tennessee and other states can uphold bands on gender affirming 181 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 4: care for miners as have already been voted on and 182 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 4: proved by the House and the Senate in these states. 183 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 4: These bills have become law and been protecting miners in 184 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 4: Tennessee and Alabama and other states for about a year now, 185 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 4: and this hearing is to see whether or not those 186 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 4: laws can be upheld and miners will continue to be 187 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 4: protected the way I wasn't protected. My doctors and the 188 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 4: trans community online were lying to me. I truly believed 189 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: that making my body look like a boy's body was 190 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 4: going to cure all of my distress, because I was 191 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 4: told it was, and it gave me hope, and I 192 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 4: latched on. And the only thing that might have protected 193 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 4: me is laws for it to not be legal for 194 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 4: doctors to harm patients instead of healing them. 195 00:09:43,760 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 7: Thank you. 196 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 3: I had apologies for that. 197 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 5: A bit of a technical hiccup, No big deal, we're back. 198 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 5: Here's what happened this morning in New York City. Brian Thompson, 199 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 5: the CEO of United Healthcare, shot down what appeared to 200 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 5: be a targeted execution in New York City. Thompson were 201 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 5: told was heading to an investor conference. The murder, which 202 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 5: appeared targeted, as I said, remains under investigation, no clear 203 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 5: motive and no suspect to either. Thompson had served United 204 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 5: Healthcare for two decades. As killing a shocked both the 205 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 5: business and healthcare communities, drawing widespread condolences, including for Minnesota's 206 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 5: governor and US Senator Amy Clomashar. This case continues to 207 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 5: unfold as police seek more information. 208 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 3: Join me out to discuss this. 209 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 5: As a veteran TV news producer, former Israeli diplomat, and 210 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 5: author of podcaster Jake's Takes on substack, Jake Novak here 211 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 5: with me. 212 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 3: Jake, good to have you here. Now. 213 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 5: You and I spoke earlier, and you said, this is 214 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 5: the first assassination. And that's why I'm going to go 215 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 5: ahead and call it. Look, it happened in about six 216 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 5: forty five this morning. There's an assassin laying in wait backpack, hoodie, 217 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 5: face mask. 218 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: The victim comes by him. 219 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 5: Mister Thompson does several shots to the back with a silencer. 220 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 5: I mean this is an assassination. I mean, I don't 221 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 5: know what else to call it? First time in forty 222 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 5: years you told me earlier. 223 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, first high profile assassination like this in 224 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 2: forty years on the streets of New York just about 225 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 2: exactly forty years. I'm referring to the assassination of Paul Costellana, 226 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: who was the boss of the Gambino crime family, in 227 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 2: a hit that was orchestrated by John Gotti. And that'd 228 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: bee John Gotti, the big Mafia Boston town. That was 229 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 2: in December of nineteen eighty five outside of Sparks Steakhouse. 230 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 2: Not all that far from I mean, not in the 231 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: same neighborhood, but not all that far from where this happened. 232 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 3: And we did have. 233 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: An assassination of a city council member in the city 234 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: council chambers indoors in two thousand and three, but that 235 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 2: was a deranged person that was not really like a 236 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 2: premeditated orchestrated attack. 237 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 238 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 5: So, as I look at this, he's the CEO of 239 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 5: United Health, he's been there for a couple of decades. 240 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 5: He's there because they're talking about the earnings for the 241 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 5: company for the year. He's from Minnesota. He's there obviously, 242 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 5: he's gonned down. The question is why United Healthcare stock 243 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 5: is up today just a little bit, but up about 244 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 5: a point, and so it did not impact the stock. 245 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 5: And so then the question becomes was this a personal 246 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 5: matter involving somebody who had a beef against him for 247 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 5: not getting insurance? 248 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 3: Was it somebody that had something to say. 249 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 5: About the COVID lockdowns and the different things that went 250 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 5: on during the COVID period, all of these questions being 251 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 5: posed by the way on social media. As you well know, 252 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 5: I mean lots of speculation. Jake to say the least, well. 253 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: People have forgotten. I mean, I guess Obamacare made people 254 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: forget the fact that, and Obamacare didn't fix it. Steve 255 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 2: help to sure companies are among the most hated entities 256 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 2: in America. They routinely, really, really hurt people with their decisions. 257 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: I'm a huge opponent of the whole health insurance model. 258 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 11: It makes no sense to me. 259 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 2: If you want to lower health and health costs, make 260 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: it's about supply and demand. Get more doctors, get more hospitals, 261 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: get rid of regulations. We don't need more insurance, we 262 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: need more doctors. If God forbid, I have a heart 263 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 2: attack on the street, I'm not going to have my 264 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: friends call for an insurance agent. I haven't call an ambulance. 265 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 2: So that's one thing, but that doesn't mean you should 266 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 2: gun the person down. But this is the thing, and 267 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 2: you made a good point about the stock. I looked 268 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 2: at the stock immediately to see how it was going, 269 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: and it was actually up earlier in the day even more, 270 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 2: and that led me to believe, well, maybe this was 271 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: just a personal matter, maybe it didn't have anything to 272 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 2: do with the company, But those gains are now starting 273 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: to shrink a little bit, Steve, because the CEO's wife, 274 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: Thompson's wife said that there had been some threats and 275 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 2: she did think it might have something to do with 276 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 2: refuse coverage. And if that is the case, if it 277 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 2: turns out this is someone who had a loved one 278 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 2: who died because coverage was refused, then that is going 279 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: to hurt the business model and the business image for 280 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 2: this company. 281 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 3: They may not be much they can do. 282 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: About it, but that will be a really black stand. 283 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: It certainly doesn't justify as an assassination, don't get me wrong. 284 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 2: But then this will become a much more relatable story 285 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: to most of America because a lot of us that 286 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 2: had to at least call and beg for coverage once 287 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: in a while. 288 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 3: That happens to a lot of people, Steve, it. 289 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 5: Certainly does, and if it turns out to be a 290 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 5: personal story. But I don't know that we're going to 291 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 5: know here, Jake, look the shooter. We have some images 292 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 5: that were caught on camera, because there's cameras everywhere in 293 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 5: New York City. 294 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: Of course, like I. 295 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 5: Said, a hood, a backpack, a face mask, and a silencer. 296 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: I mean, you're in New York City. That's not uncommon, right, you. 297 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 5: See people that are all covered up, not uncommon at all. 298 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 5: In fact, people generally don't look twice as somebody that's 299 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 5: like that on the subway or anywhere else. So here's 300 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 5: a person that just kind of blended in until they 301 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 5: made their move, walked away, got on an e bike, 302 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 5: and I don't know that we ever see this person again. 303 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I give the chances of a little bit less 304 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: than fifty to fifty that they find out who this is. 305 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 3: And if they do find them. 306 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 2: It'll because it'll be because some informant for the FBI 307 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 2: or somebody like that who's close to this person was used. 308 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: In other words, it's not going to be the NYPD itself. 309 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: And I have a lot of respect for the NYPD. 310 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: This is not a case they can easily. They can 311 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: easily solve no identifiable stuff on the face silence there. 312 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just going to be very, very hard, 313 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 2: but absolutely a professional job. The question is, are people 314 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 2: who have a beef with the company or a big person, 315 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 2: are they still able to call someone like Murder Incorporated 316 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: in the old days of New York City to get 317 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: a professional hit job like this done. Or was this 318 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: someone who already was maybe United Healthcare denied health coverage 319 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: to someone who already was very trained. You know, for example, 320 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: I remember the Las Vegas shooting, which they've never saw Steve. 321 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 11: I mean that really seems like that. 322 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 5: Not only have they not solved that Las Vegas shooting, 323 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 5: they don't talk about it. I mean, there's so many 324 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 5: things wrong with what happened that day. We should spend 325 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 5: a whole program here talking about that. Someday, you and 326 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 5: I to sort out what we do know, because none 327 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 5: of that adds up. I'm sorry, just a little aside there, 328 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 5: but you're exactly right. But you're right, this person here, 329 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 5: it could be them that was denied coverage, a family member, 330 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 5: a friend, somebody they know, or it could be something different. 331 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 5: I mean, oftentimes these things turn into being you know, 332 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 5: the wife of strange family members who knows. I mean, 333 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 5: that's the problem. We have no idea here. I mean again, 334 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 5: broad daylight, six forty five. 335 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: In the morning. It's reasonably light in New York City, 336 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 3: isn't it. 337 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean, you know this time of year, 338 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: it's pretty dark, but reasonably light. 339 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 3: I mean it was. 340 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 2: I don't think that the time of day was the 341 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: point there. I think that that was just you know, 342 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: they were waiting for him, and that's when he came 343 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: out of the hotel. It had been later and lighter 344 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: than they would have gotten him then, or earlier and 345 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 2: darker they. 346 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 3: Would have gotten him then. 347 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 11: But you know, this is a strong example here. 348 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 2: Look, like I said, not justifying this, but I'm surprised 349 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 2: I haven't been more types of like this over the 350 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 2: years the health insurance company, not just for health insurance companies, but. 351 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 3: CEOs in general. 352 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: We remember back during the Great Recession and being a 353 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: CEO was something to be ashamed of. They really tried 354 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: to demonize CEOs and Big Wall Street financier and people 355 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: like that, and you know, really there weren't any. 356 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 11: Attacks on them. 357 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 2: But I'm surprised that we don't have more of this 358 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 2: because the news media in general and the culture, you know, 359 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: the entertainment media. I mean, there was a whole movie, 360 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 2: The rain Maker, about a bad CEO of a health 361 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: insurance company. Between the entertainment media and the news media, 362 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: these guys get demonized a lot. I'm surprised this hasn't 363 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 2: happened sooner. 364 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 5: Frankly, Well, you know, and you make a great point there, Jake, 365 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 5: about the culture and the. 366 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 3: Tenor of the media. 367 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 5: Why do you think Donald Trump was targeted no once, 368 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 5: but twice. I mean, look at what has played out there. 369 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 5: You look at the people that are attacked oftentimes because 370 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 5: they're Jewish or whatever, because the tone and tenor of 371 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 5: the news media is criminal oftentimes in my estimation, And 372 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 5: you're right, first it was CEOs back during the Great Recession, 373 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 5: the executives at healthcare companies and elsewhere often. 374 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 3: Maligned and painted as you know, monstras. 375 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 5: Look, a lot of these folks are just people going 376 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 5: home to their families as well. Although mister Thompson will 377 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,239 Speaker 5: now be going home to his family tonight, Jake, I'll 378 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 5: give you the last word. 379 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, And I also worry about this with 380 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 2: pharma companies as well. You know, look, we can have 381 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: very legitimate beefs against any of these companies, and I'm 382 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: all for legal action against them, whether it's from the 383 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: government or in private lawsuits. 384 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 3: You know, that's how we handle it. 385 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 2: It's like the old Doug Luwellen thing on the Judge 386 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: Walker thing, Like you've got a problem with someone, you know, 387 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: don't take matters into your own hands. You take them 388 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 2: to court. This person took the matters into their own hands. 389 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 2: But that is something that we need to talk more about. 390 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,239 Speaker 2: There seems to be a justification for violence in our 391 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: culture these days. Violence against Trump supporters, violence against our 392 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 2: own family members. Hopefully this will not be a trend, 393 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 2: but this is stunning today, even for a grizzled old 394 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 2: veteran like me. 395 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 5: You know, and we're supposed to be a nation of 396 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 5: laws and folks. For the record, that will be the 397 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 5: only time you hear Judge Watner referenced in any program today. 398 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 3: I can assure you of that, Jake Novak. 399 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 5: It's a serious situation and the investigation continues. 400 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 3: We'll keep you on speed out for updates. Sir, Thank 401 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 3: you all right. 402 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 5: Coming up after the break, Elon Musk and the vike 403 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 5: Ramaswami are scheduled to meet with Republican lawmakers tomorrow to 404 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 5: discuss ways to bring efficiency and transparency back to the 405 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 5: federal government. 406 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 3: Talk about some of those recommendations. 407 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 5: From experts for the incoming colleades of DOZE are good 408 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 5: for doze After the break, What are you most excited 409 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 5: about beyond Donald Trump taking the oath of office on 410 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 5: the twentieth of January. 411 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 3: For me, I do think it's Elon Musk in the 412 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:55,959 Speaker 3: vake Ramaswami. 413 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 5: I mean, there are a lot of great picks coming in, 414 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 5: a lot of them made today. We'll get to some 415 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 5: of that coming up. But I'm excited about this whole dozing. 416 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 5: Their scheduled to meet, by the way, with the Republican lawmakers, 417 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 5: those two coming up tomorrow to discuss ways to cut 418 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 5: the fat from the federal government. As co leads of 419 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 5: the Department of Government Efficiency under the incoming Trump administration, 420 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 5: we call it DOGE. The National tax Payers Union RECITY 421 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 5: came out with their annual no brainers list of twenty 422 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 5: twenty four's top ten by partisan bills for taxpayers which 423 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 5: would help bring efficiency and transparency to the federal government. 424 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 5: For example, two of the bills on the list would 425 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 5: crack down on improper payments by implementing technology upgrades and 426 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 5: requiring stricter reporting requirements. 427 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 3: A great start, no doubt. Here with me now to 428 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 3: discuss more. 429 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 5: On the list is well the executive vice president of 430 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 5: the National Taxpayers Union, Brandon Arnold. 431 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 3: Brandon, nice to see you, my friend. 432 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 11: Thanks for having me again. 433 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are excited. 434 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 5: I mean, look, Elon is an innovator, a smart guy 435 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 5: of a vake. 436 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 3: Same thing. Here are guys that I think can apply modern. 437 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 5: Technology AI to start to ferret out where's the money 438 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 5: going take and just like put a track around this dollar, 439 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 5: where does it goes? It goes to the system. You 440 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 5: scround up and figure out where these things go. Right, 441 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 5: And so you have this list of ten things bipartisan ideas. 442 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 5: Give us a couple more, because we want to know 443 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 5: why are we spending so much money? 444 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 3: Trillions of dollars coming in. 445 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be nice if the taxpayers could keep some 446 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 5: of that. 447 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 3: Money for themselves. Yeah. Absolutely. 448 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 11: Let me focus on the one you mentioned just for 449 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 11: a quick second, the improper payments two bills to bring 450 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 11: transparency there, and I think you're absolutely right this should 451 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 11: be the first starting point for Musk and Ramaswami. By 452 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 11: some reports, we spend a half trillion dollars a year 453 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 11: on improper payments. This is fraudulent payments. These are just 454 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 11: mistakes that the IRS, the Treasury Department makes. So technology AI, 455 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 11: as you mentioned, could absolutely fix this problem, maybe not 456 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 11: in its entirety, but make it far better, saving potentially 457 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 11: hundreds of billions of dollars. That's huge. Now there's another 458 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 11: one that I think you'll like. It's called no Budget, 459 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 11: no recess. This basically makes Congress stay in town until 460 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 11: they pass a budget. They're supposed to do that each 461 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 11: and every spring. They rarely get a budget done. Force 462 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 11: them to stay in DC by preventing them from collecting 463 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 11: any reimbursement for travel expenses you need till they get 464 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 11: a budget done. 465 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 5: You mean like my dad would do when I was 466 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 5: a kid. No, no, no, no, you don't get to go. 467 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 5: That's not done yet. You mow the whole on you 468 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 5: split all that would I mean that's how our parents 469 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 5: treated us. You don't get to go play until the 470 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 5: work's done. And you make a great point. Brand of 471 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 5: these guys go off, these men and women. Oh, we're 472 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 5: going back to district. We'll be back in a couple 473 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 5: of weeks. It's our break for this, our break for that. 474 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 5: No break until you get the work done. 475 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 11: Man. 476 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 3: That's a brilliant idea, it really is. 477 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's weird because you actually came out of Congress. 478 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 11: This is a bill that's around. There's a bipartisan VISal legislation. 479 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 11: So there are members of Congress that recognize how broken 480 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 11: the process is on Capitol Hill and want to fix it. 481 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 11: They're on the minority, unfortunately. But this is again why 482 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 11: we're so excited about people like Musk and Ramaswami that 483 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 11: had this enormous platform that they can bring issues like 484 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 11: this to the forefront of the public discourse. So people 485 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 11: know about this and they start calling their member of 486 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 11: Congress saying, why aren't you a co sponsor of this bill, 487 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 11: Why don't you encourage the speaker to put it on 488 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 11: the floor of the House, that we can vote on 489 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 11: this and pass this into a law. That's the kind 490 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 11: of platform that we need to take good ideas and 491 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 11: actually implement them into legislation and get them signed into law. 492 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 5: You know, I heard this other shocking idea that apparently 493 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 5: Donald Trump put forth here to Republican senators on Monday 494 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 5: of this week. He said, guys, you're going to have 495 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 5: to work five days a week. And I think half 496 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 5: of them probably fainted in the room. Yeah, well, they 497 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 5: have to work all week, you mean, like the rest 498 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 5: of us. Yeah, how about you stay there at work 499 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 5: Monday through Friday, work until. 500 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 3: Close a business on Friday. 501 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 5: Even you don't get to jump the early fight to 502 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 5: go home and have cocktails in your you know, in 503 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 5: your district with some fancy contributor. No, stay in Washington, 504 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 5: do your job. Look, America works, it's tail off. We 505 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 5: pay more taxes than any country in the world, and 506 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 5: we ship more money by and God only knows where 507 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 5: we shift most of this money. 508 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 3: Brandon, I mean, you look at the ways we squander money. 509 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 5: I mean, the Defense Department, the Pentagon just did another audit. 510 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 5: How many hundreds of billion of dollars can they not 511 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 5: account for? It's really kind of embarrassing, isn't it. 512 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 11: It is What's encouraging, though, is to see even folks 513 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 11: on the left like Bernie Sanders come out and say, yeah, 514 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 11: we're four doge, probably to a limited extent, but we're 515 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 11: four doge because they are actually going to look at 516 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 11: the Pentagon's budget. It is unacceptable that the budget that 517 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 11: the Pentagon cannot pass an audit, one of the largest 518 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 11: departments in the federal government cannot pass an audit, and 519 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 11: we don't hold them accountable. We need to start holding 520 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 11: their feet to the fire. Waste in the Pentagon is 521 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 11: just as bad as waste in the Apartment of Labor 522 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 11: or anywhere else in government, and we shouldn't tolerate it. 523 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 3: And I would say this, Bernie Sanders. 524 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,239 Speaker 5: Look, Bernie would be for this a lot more if 525 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 5: you said, look, if we can find the money we're 526 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 5: losing at the penning On or wherever else, and we 527 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 5: can take care of a couple of your pet projects, Bernie, 528 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 5: and it's still within the budget because now we found 529 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,239 Speaker 5: the money, he'd be off for it. Brandon Arnold, thank 530 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 5: you for being here as always, my friend, thanks for 531 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 5: having me greatly appreciate. 532 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 3: All Right, open a gold Ira. 533 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 5: With Bird's Gold Group and get free silver coins.

In 551 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 5: many ways, we can't even afford to pay the interest 552 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 5: on the debt, let alone the principle, we've got some 553 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 5: problems to deal with, so better to be safe than sorry. 554 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 5: Take action now to protect your savings.

Among the key findings of the report is 571 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 3: that almost. 572 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 5: Seventy percent seventy percent of the pedalies imposed by the 573 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 5: Office of Enforcement have been against Christian institutions and career colleges, 574 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 5: even though these schools represent less than ten percent of 575 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 5: all college kids in America. 576 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 3: Something's up right. 577 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 5: Other discoveries are that the White House issued record finds 578 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 5: on two of the nation's most prominent Christian universities, Grand 579 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 5: Canyon University in Arizona, at thirty seven point seven million 580 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 5: dollars and Liberty University at fourteen million dollars. No doubt 581 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 5: that actions taken by the Biden Harris administration constitute a 582 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 5: destructive brand of woke authoritarianism. Here would be to discuss 583 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 5: this further as a campus reformed higher education fellow and 584 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 5: professor a political science at SUFVIC Community College in New York, Nicholas. 585 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 3: Tredonnell, professor, Nice to see you look. 586 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 5: I mean, if seventy percent of the find are going 587 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 5: to ten percent of the schools, I mean, I'm no mathematician, 588 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 5: but it seems out of whack. 589 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 3: Seems that ratio just isn't right. What do you make 590 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 3: of it? 591 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 6: Well, it certainly isn't right, and that the leadership Institute's 592 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 6: campus form. You also have to look at the size 593 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 6: of a fine. So Christian universities are being penalized and 594 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 6: fined approximately eight hundred and fifteen thousand dollars on average, 595 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 6: whereas secular institutions are being fined at approximately two hundred 596 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 6: and twenty eight thousand dollars on average. So you're seeing 597 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 6: finds that are three times higher against Christian institutions than 598 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 6: the public secular institutions and listen that campus form. We're 599 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 6: documenting and reporting that on the war on Christians that 600 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 6: this administration has unleashed on the American people, and it's 601 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 6: in a front to everything that we stand for as 602 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 6: a nation, the idea of religious liberty that so many 603 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 6: from around the world have come here for. This administration 604 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 6: is now making a mockery of it and giving a 605 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 6: license to discriminate. But the intention is clear because Secretary 606 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 6: of Education Miguel Cardona has publicly stated that he'd like 607 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 6: to see these institutions shut down, that he doesn't want 608 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 6: them to exist, that they go against the woke leftist 609 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 6: ideology that they want to push on a student body 610 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 6: and brainwash them with. It goes far beyond just the 611 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 6: educational institutions, though, and I think this is what every 612 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 6: American needs to be concerned about. It goes beyond the 613 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 6: Department of Education, because we saw with the FBI when 614 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 6: they released the anti Catholic Richmond Project product that stated 615 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 6: that Catholics are potentially domestic violen extremists, or because they 616 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 6: believe in two genders, because they may be pro life, 617 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 6: because they may go against the idea of the leftist 618 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 6: ideology and support something like the traditional nuclear family. 619 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 3: So it's not just. 620 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 6: About education, it's about where we are as a society 621 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 6: and who we are as the American people. If you 622 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 6: could destroy faith within our country, it's the state that 623 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 6: is the highest authority. The state is the highest entity, 624 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 6: and that's what the Biden administration wants. 625 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 3: Sure you know, And you made me think about. 626 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 5: Brand new book from Kevin Roberts at the Heritage Foundation 627 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 5: nails every one of these points. If you guys need 628 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 5: a new book to read, I'm telling you this is 629 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 5: the one you want. Kevin Roberts talks about the destruction 630 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 5: of the American family, and again this is all by design, professor. 631 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 5: Undermine the family, undermine the foundational principles of America. Undermine 632 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 5: all of these things, and you can usher in a 633 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 5: golden age of socialism or whatever it is. I think 634 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 5: they can deliver for us, But it's a false promise. 635 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 5: I mean, look around. It never works, and attacking people 636 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 5: of faith generally backfires over time, doesn't it. 637 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, it ultimately does, because faith will always prevail all 638 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 6: the state apparatus. But the problem that we see today 639 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 6: is the administration is dumping so many tax dollars into 640 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 6: leftist ideology that's going to these university systems. At campus form, 641 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 6: we've been reporting, you know, fifty thousand dollars on studying 642 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 6: white supremacist extremists. You have four point five million dollars 643 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 6: going to equity centers at LSU, one million dollars going 644 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 6: to redesign biology classes so that they go beyond the 645 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 6: idea that there's two genders, male and female out there 646 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 6: and you're born with these genders. So we see this 647 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 6: heavy amount of taxpayer dollars being used to try and 648 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 6: shift the mindset of the American people. Now, hopefully the 649 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 6: American people begin to stand up and push back. It 650 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 6: is our responsibility. But I also think that Congress needs 651 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 6: to quickly investigate this, and Congress needs to penalize the 652 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 6: Department of Education itself for abusing its powers. 653 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 3: The dishonesty professor, and I want. 654 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 5: To dig into that little bit you talk about white 655 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 5: supremacy and all of this nonsense. White supremacy does it 656 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 5: exist in America? 657 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 3: A little tiny bit. 658 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 5: I'm going to go back to the late nineteen nineties 659 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 5: early two thousands. I was working for another another network 660 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 5: and was asked to go dig into the ku Klux 661 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 5: Klan in Ohio, which I did, and so I went 662 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 5: to the now completely discredited Southern Poverty Law Center, right 663 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 5: completely discredited organization. But these universities on the left will 664 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 5: still site there was being some sort of an expert 665 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 5: on hate groups in America. But the truth is, in 666 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 5: the year two thousand, they couldn't find ten thousand members 667 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 5: of the ku Klux Klan in America, couldn't find ten 668 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 5: thousand and all these little splinter groups. 669 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 3: And you're trying to tell me. 670 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 5: Or they're trying to tell us, so they're trying to 671 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 5: tell our kids that are in college, Oh my god, 672 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 5: white supremacy has erupted. 673 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 3: It's bloomed like never before. That is complete hogwash, isn't it. 674 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 3: It is? 675 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 6: And if you look in the nineteen twenties, we were 676 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 6: a country of one hundred twenty nine million people. There 677 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 6: were four million members of the ku Klux Klan. Many 678 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 6: of these members served in high level positions like judges, lawyers, politicians, 679 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 6: police chiefs. Today, as of today, the estimates are between 680 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 6: four thousand and two six five hundred in the country 681 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 6: of three hundred and fifty million people. We are the 682 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 6: most open and tolerant society that has ever exist, and 683 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 6: we figured out a way to make exactly right. 684 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 5: I want to circle that America is the most diverse 685 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 5: major country. 686 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 3: In the world. 687 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 5: Look at China, how diverse are they? Look at India, 688 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 5: how diverse are they? Or Vietnam or any of the 689 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 5: other countries at over one hundred million people, America is 690 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 5: three hundred and fifty million people from all corners of 691 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 5: the earth, more languages, more religions, more great food. 692 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 3: I'm not going to lie to you. I like it 693 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 3: a lot. We are a diverse nation, professor. We should 694 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 3: be proud of it that I don't know. 695 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,719 Speaker 6: Italy has pretty good food too, So you know, well, 696 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 6: I give you bring No, we have to give them 697 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 6: the credit where it's due. But when we look at this, 698 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 6: I mean, let's be on Christianity. We are a Judeo 699 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 6: Christian society. It doesn't mean that we impose our religious 700 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 6: beliefs on everyone else. But the idea is that you 701 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 6: don't target people for religious beliefs. And that's exactly what 702 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 6: the Biden administration is doing. They are cutting off financial 703 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 6: aid to these students at these institutions to try and 704 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 6: bankrupt them and close them down. And that's why Campus 705 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 6: Reform is highlighting this for the American people. 706 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 5: And we appreciate everything the Campus Reform is doing. We 707 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 5: appreciate what you're doing. Professor Look, it's important work in 708 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 5: Grand Canyon University and liberty should not be getting punished 709 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 5: because their institutions are faith. 710 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 3: They give you the last word, and. 711 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 6: I say everyone should also view this through the perspective 712 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 6: of what we witnessed on the Ivy League campuses, where 713 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 6: you have Jewish students that are being openly targeted and 714 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 6: assaulted and harassed. And where's the Department of Education's Office 715 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 6: of Enforcement on those college campuses. Where are the fines 716 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 6: being levied on those college campuses? You don't see And 717 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 6: it's because this administration doesn't care. 718 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 3: That's because they get a pass. That's exactly right. 719 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,479 Speaker 5: Professor Grayla appreciates you being here as always, my friend. 720 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 3: We'll talk again soon.

The Associated Press reported. 724 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 5: A seven point five billion dollar stealth destroyer, the US 725 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 5: Zoom wallt being retrofitted with hypersonic missiles. Now these are 726 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 5: the latest and greatest and military achievement. Originally designed for 727 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 5: land attacks, the destroyer is being repurposed into a high speed, 728 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 5: precision strike weapon. 729 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 3: Hypersonic missiles are. 730 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 5: Capable of exceeding mock five with unmatched speed and maneuverability. 731 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 5: It allows strikes from thousands of miles away. This retrofit 732 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,720 Speaker 5: of a design adjustment for weapons integration and extensive testing 733 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 5: to adapt the ship's capabilities for these advanced systems. 734 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 3: The project will cost nearly eighteen billion. 735 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 5: Dollars for three hundred missiles, showing the urgency following the 736 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 5: Russia's recent use of its hypersonic missile, the Orschnik, which 737 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 5: Russia called a test launch. 738 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 3: I think it's Orschnik. I didn't make that up. 739 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 5: When an attacked a Nipro in Ukraine back in the 740 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 5: twenty first November. The Zoomwalled class destroyers are cutting edge 741 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 5: ships featuring advanced stealth and propulsion technology. The Navy plans 742 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 5: to test the new system by two thousand and twenty seven, 743 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 5: but something tells me they could be sooner. Federal Trade 744 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 5: Commission Anti trust enforcers have opened an investigation to MICROSOFCE 745 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 5: business practices. 746 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,399 Speaker 3: The APE reported the FTC is focusing on. 747 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 5: Microsoft's cloud computing business, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.

This new case, we'll look into Microsoft's core operations. 754 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 3: It's reminiscent of. 755 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 5: Its nineteen nineties anti trust confrontation with a Justice Department 756 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 5: when Microsoft was accused of unfair competition due to its 757 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 5: Windows operating system dominance.
