00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: All right, and welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Steve

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Grew the pulse of the people.

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 2: We need somebody that going to hear a paper's.

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 3: Voice the truth the mainstream won't touch.

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: This guy is by definition of global and the stories

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 2: that matter. Raps Own, Ben burkewob.

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 4: Right up of Miss Hill, the cartel.

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 5: I live breaking news right now here, a real America's

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 5: four filter.

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 6: These people are domestic terrorists and unapologet.

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: We're here to take a stand for God and country.

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: Let's feel good. America's Voice Live starts now. Welcome to

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: America's Voice Live. I'm Steve Great.

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: It is Friday, the eighteenth of April. It is good Friday.

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Thank you for being here. As always, it's to today's

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: top stories. Details coming in now from that shooting at

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: Florida State had occurred yesterday. The suspect and cussy has

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: been identified. Details quite disturbing. More of that coming up

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: in a moment. Also, President Trump attended the swearing in

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: ceremony the new Administrator for Medicare and Medicaid Services doctor

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: named it Oz. Shortly after, he addressed in the media

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: on multiple issues. I'll discuss that coming up as well.

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: And then later President Trump attending the swearing in ceremony

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: of Memdaz, the Administrator for the Centers of Medicare and

25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Medicaid Services. All about that coming up, Here's where we

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: start Today. Thursday, during a meeting with Italian Prime Minister

27
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: Georgia at Maloney, President Trump stated that a minerals deal

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: with Ukraine will be signed by next week. It was

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: also reported by Reuters that Keev and Washington signed a

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: memorandum as an initial step toward clinching an agreement on

31
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: developing mineral resources in Ukraine. Both leaders were poised to

32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: sign a rare earth minerals deal back in February recall,

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: but it was delayed, stopped, and its tracts thanks to

34
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: Zelenski's poor attitude and unwillingness to admit the truth that

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: he was stealing from you, you, the American taxpayer. You see,

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: this minerals deal would be of benefit to America and

37
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: It's citizens.

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: President Trump understands that.

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: He also understands that Ukraine needs us in order to survive.

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 1: Consider payment for all the money we've been giving them

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: over the last several years.

42
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: How about that? Here will be to sort it out?

43
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: Is the executive director of the Energy Fair Trade Coalition,

44
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: Brett Manley, Brett, nice to see you here today.

45
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: Hey, Steve, thanks for having me back.

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: Now I'm a bit confused again, Brett, because we see

47
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: the headlines yesterday that this deal is going to be

48
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: put together, we're going to be in good shape.

49
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: And then I see Marco Ruby put out.

50
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: Of Stavem and say, look, if Ukraine and Russia don't

51
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: want to get together on this deal, we're gonna step away.

52
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: We're not going to worry them about the seasfire much

53
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: longer either. We get it down in the next few

54
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: days where it's not going to happen. And then I say, well,

55
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: is this rare Earth deal going to happen? And honestly,

56
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: isn't that important. Let's start with do you think it's

57
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: going to happen. I think something's going to happen, Steve.

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: I do know.

59
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 7: I wouldn't read too much into the threat of walking away.

60
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 7: Anybody who's ever bought a car could tell you if

61
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 7: you're not willing to leave the lot, the sales guy's

62
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 7: got you by the horns there.

63
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: So I think some of.

64
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 7: That's a little bit of negotiation posture, but really It

65
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 7: comes down to the fact that we need this. I mean,

66
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 7: you know, the rarest minerals that are in the things

67
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 7: that Americans use every day, you know, not to mention

68
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 7: our national defense infrastructure.

69
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: You know, it's not an option.

70
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 7: We really do need this, and if Ukraine is interested

71
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 7: in its long term security and safety. You know, my

72
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 7: understanding is the exchange for this type of deal is

73
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 7: that we will guarantee we and our partner's in nearbill

74
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 7: guarantee their security going forward. So it really is a

75
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 7: win win here, I think for us, for the American people,

76
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 7: for the Ukrainian people. You know, any stop to the

77
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 7: fighting I think we should encourage. You know, war is

78
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 7: awful and it's a horrendous toll on people everywhere, and

79
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 7: anything that can bring that conflict to an end is

80
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 7: something that we should support as Americans.

81
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: I completely agree with that.

82
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: I don't think we should have been entangled at it

83
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: in the first place, but that happened, we are and

84
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: here we are today trying to sort out what's left in.

85
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: The background now.

86
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Rare earth minerals, rare earth elements, it's a bit of

87
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: a misnomer. Inventor, there's a complete misnomer they're not rare.

88
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: What's rare is the refining capacity, which China has about

89
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: eighty five percent of the world's refining capacity on these

90
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: particular elements.

91
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 3: Correct, Yeah, that's right, we actually have.

92
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 7: There's only one operational mine in the United States, it's

93
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 7: in California. But they you know, they're refined to products

94
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 7: they do, they do send pretty much ninety ninety five

95
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 7: percent of that product over to China for refinement. And

96
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 7: the reason we don't have the refining capacity here in

97
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 7: the United States, you know, it's pretty straightforward.

98
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: We have permitting problems.

99
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 7: You get environmentalists involved that deny the ability to refine

100
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 7: these products over whatever concerns you know they may have,

101
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 7: which is really a short term view. And you know,

102
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 7: this isn't a problem we're going to get out of

103
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 7: here in a year or two years. Is a ten

104
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 7: twenty thirty year problem. And this is something the Chinese

105
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 7: are very good.

106
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: At, right.

107
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 7: They look at the world and the landscape and they

108
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 7: make plans ten twenty thirty years in advance, whereas the

109
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 7: United States, we tend to do these things by election cycle, right,

110
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 7: every two years, every four years, and so as a result,

111
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 7: we find ourselves with the rapid advancement of technology in

112
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 7: or reliance on these types of materials, really behind the

113
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 7: eight ball because we did not build out the infrastructure ourselves.

114
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: Correct Now, I know that we have rare earth elements

115
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: in places like Michigan, Wyoming, Montana. Minnesota comes to mind

116
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: for one of the things that you just said, Brett,

117
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: and that is the environmentalists come out and say, oh,

118
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: we can't do this. A big deposit of rare earths

119
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: were found in northern Minnesota during the Biden administration.

120
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: It was almost immediately shut down.

121
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: It was put off limits and said no, no, no, no,

122
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: you can't use that. Why is it the people in

123
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: the United States, certain members of the United States, they

124
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: should say, work so hard to cut us off from

125
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: our own natural resources. We have more natural resources on

126
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: this piece of real estate than any place else in

127
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: the world, be it timber, water, farmland, oil, gas, gold,

128
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: and rare ears. And yet we continued to try to

129
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: play this game with radical environmentalists.

130
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: It's time to move past that, isn't it.

131
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 8: Yeah.

132
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 7: I mean, one of the great strategic advantages of the

133
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 7: United States is we have almost the entirety of our

134
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 7: mineral resources available to us, you know, and your point there.

135
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 7: I think there's a tendency on the left to government

136
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 7: by press release. You know, we're going to send out

137
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 7: this press release congratulating ourselves on this great thing we

138
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 7: did for the environment. But nobody ever looks around and says, hey,

139
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 7: what are the long term consequences this decision? And the

140
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 7: long term consequences of those decisions that you become reliant

141
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 7: on international elements, partners, or adversaries otherwise to supply you

142
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 7: with the materials you need, and you cannot get out

143
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 7: of this quickly. It is going to be a ten year,

144
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 7: fifteen year process. And you know, earlier today you mentioned

145
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 7: the Ukraine deal, but earlier today President Trump put several

146
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 7: mining projects on essentially a fast track permitting authority. I

147
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 7: think you should go a step further and invoke the

148
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 7: Defense Production Act. I mean, if we're serious about this

149
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 7: and we're going to say, hey, who is going to

150
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 7: supply these materials with us going forward? Let's get real.

151
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 7: Let's do this. Invoke the Defense Production Acts. Say this

152
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 7: is an issue of national security right away. You can

153
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 7: wave a lot of the red tape and a lot

154
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 7: of the permitting issues that prevent these projects from coming online.

155
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: You're exactly right.

156
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a smart lever to pull and to

157
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: use at this point. What about Doug Bergham, Secretary of

158
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: the Year. What about Chris Right, Secretary of Energy? How

159
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: do you feel these two are laying out the future

160
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: for us? Because you're right about something else you said,

161
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: and that is China looks ten or thirty years down

162
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: the road. I think they might look fifty or one hundred,

163
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: to be honest with your bread. But the Secretary of

164
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: the Interior, the Secretary of Energy, they obviously want to

165
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: move the needle here.

166
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: Are you glad with their leadership so far?

167
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 7: You know, I'm a big fan of both Secretary Right

168
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 7: and Secretary Burgham. You know, it's a big fan of

169
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 7: Burgham in the primary. You know, he's a self made man.

170
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 7: He's a businessman. He looks at things of Okay, you know,

171
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 7: what are the dollars and cents of this thing? And

172
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 7: that's really have to look at this. He talks a

173
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 7: lot about you know, the assets that we have in

174
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 7: this country is belonging to the people of the United States,

175
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 7: whether it's our minimal rights or oil rights, these things

176
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 7: that belong to the people of the United States, and

177
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 7: they have a right to those resources. And what we

178
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 7: do now is not we don't take advantage of that.

179
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 7: We don't give any of that money, we don't give

180
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 7: any of those resources back to the people. We've become

181
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 7: reliant on international partners or adversaries, and so I'm very encouraged.

182
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 7: But again, Steve, I go back to this, if we

183
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 7: don't start thinking about this in a long term sense, right,

184
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 7: if we're just looking at the next election, the next

185
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 7: four years, you.

186
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: Know, nothing's ever going to happen.

187
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 7: If the next administration comes in and says, hey, you

188
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 7: know this is an important to me to fight over

189
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 7: and they cancel everything, then.

190
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: We're just back at square one.

191
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 7: So hopefully, you know, in this matter very they are

192
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 7: serious operators. You know, they have long track record of

193
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 7: success in the pride sector, and so I'm hopeful that

194
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 7: they're going to be.

195
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: Able to bring some common sense to this issue.

196
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: So my concern on this issue and so many others

197
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: bred is the same, and that is executive orders are

198
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: all fine and well for the time that the executive

199
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: is in office, but as soon as that executive changes,

200
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: it all becomes very fragile.

201
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 2: So it is really important that we.

202
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: Get legislation across the finish line that will protect America's

203
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: natural resources, the whole list that I gave you earlier,

204
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: plus rare earth, and we've got to be able to

205
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: use our own our own natural resource. Look, there is

206
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: no cleaner, greener, industrialized nation on Earth than the one

207
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: you live.

208
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: In right here, Brett, the one that I live in. America.

209
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: We do a better job of reclamation, we do a

210
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: better job of exploration. We do a better job in

211
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: all of these areas, better than China or India.

212
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: Certainly, look at what a mess those places are.

213
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: And we should be allowed to follow the rules that

214
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: are in place here and make this country wealthy, because

215
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: it will if we stop squandering our resources to pay China.

216
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: Or India or anybody else, will be better off, won't we.

217
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 7: You know you're right, Steve, a little big secret the

218
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 7: left doesn't want you to know. As carbon emissions in

219
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 7: the United States have actually gone down every year since

220
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 7: two thousand. It's the only country on Earth that can

221
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 7: say that. And you know, getting serious about it means

222
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 7: developing a long term plan. I think the executive orders

223
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 7: are good because it'll get things in motion. But at

224
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 7: the end of the day, you know, you have to

225
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 7: be committed to this, and that's something I think, you know,

226
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 7: voices like yours are very important for because the corporate

227
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 7: media is not going to cover it, so people have

228
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 7: to hear directly from those who are concerned about this

229
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 7: and say, hey, you need to think about this every day.

230
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 7: The things that you have in your hand, the phone,

231
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 7: the computer, the refrigerator, the television you're watching this program

232
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 7: on all rely on these materials and we have to

233
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 7: get them from somewhere. Wouldn't you rather get those things

234
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 7: from the United States, where at least you know the

235
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 7: people putting in the time, effort, and money into doing

236
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 7: it or doing it as ethically as possible. And if

237
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 7: you can answer that question the affirmative, then I think

238
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 7: we're in a good space as a country.

239
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and I want to expand on this

240
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 2: in just a little bit.

241
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: But because you know, beyond the arrors, it's copper, it's led,

242
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: it's zinc, it's nickel. We have all of these things

243
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: in space, we have it available to us. But yet

244
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: mining has been attacked by the radical left. Exploring for

245
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: all of these things been radical leave mother Earth alone

246
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: and all this nonsense. Look, you can go to places

247
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: like Montana and see the largest cleanup sites in America

248
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: have been done very well, very well.

249
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: You can go look at these places and see how

250
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 2: well we do.

251
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: This because the EPA requires it. You know, super fun

252
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: cleanup sites where we go back and we reclimate things

253
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: that were done one hundred or two hundred years ago.

254
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: We do it exceptionally well, and we should be proud

255
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: of that that we're so good at it, and move

256
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: forward with making America independent again.

257
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: I'll give you the last word.

258
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 7: No, I appreciate that. Look, at the end of the day,

259
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 7: if you send out a press less about these things,

260
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 7: the demand doesn't go away. You have to get the

261
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 7: materials from somewhere. And I think, you know, in addition

262
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 7: to speeding up the permitting, the President and the Congress

263
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 7: should really reward companies that choose to source their materials

264
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 7: here in the United States. You know, it's not just

265
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 7: enough to say, hey, we can't get it from abroad.

266
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 7: We should reward companies who are saying, you know what,

267
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 7: I'm gonna build it here, I'm going to buy it

268
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 7: here and ultimately make it an American source of energy.

269
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely true. Bred Man.

270
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: He is the executive director of the Energy Fair Trade Coalition.

271
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate your time. Happy Good Friday to you, my friend.

272
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: Thank you Stevie as well, thank you very much.

273
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 2: All Right.

274
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we are the cleanest, greenest industrialized nation

275
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: on Earth.

276
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 2: It's really not up for debate.

277
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: Look at all the great things we do in reclamation

278
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: projects and how well we clean up our own backyard.

279
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: That's number one, and we should really invest in that.

280
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: All right.

281
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: After the break, the suspect of the Florida c University

282
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: shooting that left six injured and two dead identified. The

283
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: facts we have on the case pretty shocking. I'll have

284
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: more after.

285
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: The break, nor.

286
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: What more details emerging now on the Florida City University

287
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: shooting that happened yesterday on campus. The suspect that police

288
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: apprehended has been identified as Phoenix Ickner. It's also been

289
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: reported that Ickner's mother is a sheriff's deputy with the

290
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: Leon County Sheriff's Apartment.

291
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: She's been there for eighteen years.

292
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: Using his mother's former service weapon that she had kept

293
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: for personal, Ickner killed two people, caused injury to at

294
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: least six others, and after refusing to comply with commands

295
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: from law enforcement. Icknor was shot and wounded himself, but

296
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: not killed. Of those who did survive, two of the

297
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: victims are expected to be discharged from the hospital, hopefully

298
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: sometimes a day, while three have improved and are in

299
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: good condition. The sixth in fair conditions, so not critical.

300
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: I guess that's a bit of a bright side I

301
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: hear with me to discuss this shooting. Retired police officer,

302
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: former US Navy intelligence officer, Lieutenant Steve Rogers, Steve, good

303
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: to have you back on the program.

304
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: Look, every time I hear one of these, or I

305
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,359
Speaker 2: see an alert.

306
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: Go out for an active shooter, look, my heart sinks.

307
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: I am a gun owner. I'm a guy who believes

308
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: in the proper use of firearms, and I see this happening,

309
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, this is not the way

310
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: the world was when I grew up, Sir, Probably not

311
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: the way the world was when you grew up either.

312
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: This look to take shotguns to school during hunting season

313
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: in the fall, we just didn't walk around the hallways

314
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: pulling the trigger.

315
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 8: What's gone wrong.

316
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: In this country in this regard?

317
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 9: Well, well, I got to tell you, Steve, one of

318
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 9: the problems we're facing is that, you know, there is

319
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 9: the left that are the progressives, and they always blame

320
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 9: gun control. They always bring that up, and sandly to say,

321
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 9: even in this case, they're using this as a political

322
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 9: agenda to advance gun control measures. This has nothing to

323
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 9: do with gun control, and I've said it over and

324
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 9: over again. It has a lot to do with people control.

325
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 9: It's to people who are graving the guns, getting the

326
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 9: weapons and pulling the trigger. And their common thread we're

327
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 9: finding through all of these incidents, if not most of them,

328
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 9: maybe all of them, including this case, is that it's

329
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 9: going back to what we call the mental health issue.

330
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 8: We always hear about that, they expand upon that.

331
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 9: We're finding out that there are reports that this individual

332
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 9: may have had a mental mental health problem for a

333
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 9: long time. And my question is if that's true. If

334
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 9: that's the case, why didn't anyone bring out any indicators

335
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 9: before this happened and get him the treatment he needed.

336
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 9: If in fact, they didn't get him the treatment.

337
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: You know, and a fair question.

338
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: His mother is in law enforcement eighteen years I believe

339
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: a veteran, Her career probably over at this point. I

340
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: don't know how you would recover from something like this, honestly.

341
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: But if she knows he has.

342
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: Mental health issues, I've got to ask the question, why

343
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: would she make it possible? And I don't know the

344
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: details yet, it'll come on the investigation, But if she

345
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: left that firearm accessible to him, I've got to say,

346
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: why would you allow that to happen if you know

347
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: your son has issues?

348
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 9: Well, you know what, Steve, you're thinking, just like I

349
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 9: did when I heard this report and that she was a.

350
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 8: Law enforcement officer.

351
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 9: We are trained and it's put from the police academy

352
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 9: all the way to the last day.

353
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 8: You have that badge on, you go home.

354
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 9: With your weapon, lock it, lock it up, put it

355
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 9: in a safety box. Why because at any time, whether

356
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 9: it's a child Steve would have mental health problems or not,

357
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 9: kids get.

358
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 8: Curious and you never know what they did.

359
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 9: Think they're going to go for that gun and they're

360
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 9: going to try to experiment with it.

361
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 8: So, yep, you're right on target. And look, that's a

362
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 8: good question that needs to be answered.

363
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: I might get some blowback from some of the folks

364
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: in the audience today, but the fact the matter is,

365
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: if you've got somebody in the house, you don't trust.

366
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: You've got to have an answer to that, a solution

367
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: to that. You can have a biometric box right next

368
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: to your benefits, so you need thumbprint whatever boom they

369
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: opened just like that. There's not much to it, pretty simple,

370
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: pretty fast. And somebody say, well, you know that's too long. No,

371
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: I don't think so, especially because this is by definition

372
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: a voidable tragedy.

373
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: Isn't it.

374
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 9: It is look good. I brought my weapon home every

375
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 9: day for thirty eight years, and when my children I

376
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 9: realized that one time they were getting curious, I showed them.

377
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 8: I showed them what the weapon is.

378
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 9: I took them to a firing range with me, and

379
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 9: then I told them you're never to touch this, never ever.

380
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 8: But you know what else I did. I locked the

381
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 8: weapon up.

382
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 9: I put it away so that they couldn't get at it.

383
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 8: Why.

384
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 9: Kids are kids, and they're going to get curious at

385
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 9: one point in time where there may be some pressure,

386
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 9: pure pressure. Let's see, daddy's gone. So we're trained and

387
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 9: we should know better. And again, we don't know what

388
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 9: went on in her house, if she did that, if

389
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 9: she didn't do it, but obviously she made it available

390
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 9: to him very unintentionally, I'm sure. But the fact of

391
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 9: the matter is, this is why we're talking about this today.

392
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: Well, and here's the other thing, Steve, I want to

393
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: know the background of this center too many times because

394
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: we've heard about his mother, we have not heard about

395
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: his father. One of the patterns I've seen in the

396
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: incidents like this of mass shootings, oftentimes it's a home

397
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: with no father figure.

398
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: It's a home where there is no strong male figure,

399
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: there's no role model from man. We need more.

400
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: Fathers in this country, Steve, I truly believe that I

401
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: don't know what the investigation can be. I've heard nothing

402
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: about a father here. Leads me to believe that maybe

403
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: she was a single mom. I know that she fled

404
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: the country when he was younger during a custody dispute.

405
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: So it seems to me there may not be a

406
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: strong male role model in this and I think that

407
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: leads to problems in this country as well.

408
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 4: Well.

409
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 9: It does, and this is where our educational institutions that

410
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 9: are a train wreck these.

411
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 8: Days need to step up.

412
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 9: And when they recognize these things, they certainly referred a

413
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 9: lot of these young people who have broken homes to

414
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 9: different agencies to different clubs. That's why I loved community policing, Steed.

415
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 9: I was a cop walking a beat. I know the who, what, when,

416
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 9: where and why of every home in the neighborhoods that

417
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 9: I walked. Not only in a small suburban area, but

418
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 9: I was a cop in a big city before I

419
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 9: came to Nutley, New Jersey. The fact of the matter

420
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 9: is is that a lot of your police officers today,

421
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 9: and this is not advertising a lot befriend a lot

422
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 9: of these young kids. Why because they don't have father figures.

423
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 9: And I had a kid. I had a kid who

424
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 9: was in the home like that told him I wanted

425
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 9: to see his report card every marking period. I kept

426
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 9: an eye on him, and you know what, never got in.

427
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: Trouble, kept him pleaning, kept him on the right bed.

428
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: You know, this reminds me of some stories I saw

429
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: last year leading up to the election, and it was

430
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: it was moms in Chicago, black moms and in not

431
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: great neighborhoods of Chicago where the federal government come in

432
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: and taking over the local community center where the kids

433
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: used to go after school, where there were mentors and

434
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: people like you and the police officers could get to

435
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: know the kids, and they gave that away to illegal aliens.

436
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: In this country, I think our priorities are oftentimes wrong.

437
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: We need to invest in our kids. I think community

438
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: policing is exactly what you said. It's a way for

439
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: First of all, the police officers are not demonized. Law

440
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: enforcement becomes something that the people as they grow up understand, Hey,

441
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: that's somebody that's on my side. He might ask me

442
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: for my grades, he might raise his voice to me,

443
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: he might tell me, hey, get off the corner. But

444
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: they learned respect for police officers. I think that's incredibly important.

445
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: They learned to trust the community. And again we come

446
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: back to these male role figures, role models. I think

447
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: community policing needs to be something that we're investing in

448
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: a lot more. It was really popular a while back.

449
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of faded something. Let's bring it back.

450
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: What do you say, Well, you're absolutely right.

451
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 9: And when we when I had supervised community policing units

452
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 9: in some of these cities, I'll tell you what, Steve,

453
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 9: guess who was in charge of the neighborhoods, Grandma, grandpa.

454
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 9: Those kids learned to reach us back the grandma to

455
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 9: grandpa and the church passers so we were able to

456
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 9: get them all together and say, look, we're the police,

457
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 9: but we're going to come here to help you. And

458
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 9: believe me, they opened their arms. They invited the cops

459
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 9: in their homes. We played basketball in the streets with

460
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 9: the kids. We you know, parking walk. Our chief said,

461
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 9: I want you to park those police cards, get out

462
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 9: and walk around and meet the people in the community.

463
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 9: So you had like like a big family gathering. Included

464
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 9: in that family were the cops, and the kids knew, gee,

465
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 9: there's there's there's a detective, or there's Lieutenant Steve Rogers.

466
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 9: We better better not mess around, you know, because we're

467
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 9: going to get in trouble.

468
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 8: And I used to do this, all right.

469
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 9: I used to do this with kids, And every time

470
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 9: I saw that, I told said that if they did

471
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 9: it to me before I did it to them, I

472
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 9: would give them a dollar. I actually did that, Steve,

473
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 9: I'd go brook by the end of pay day. But

474
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 9: to this day, all these years later, all these years later,

475
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 9: they were adults. Now once in a while I'll run

476
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 9: into one of them and they'll see me.

477
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 8: And do this.

478
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 2: There you go.

479
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: Look, I don't know what the answer is from this

480
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: terrible shooting. The information is going to come out through

481
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: the course of the investigation. I timed my hat to

482
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: the people at the law Enforcement, Florida cit University and

483
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: everybody else that were first responders there. But we've got

484
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: to work on solutions around here. I think we had

485
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: some here today, Lieutenant Steve Rodgers. Always appreciate seeing you, sir.

486
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 9: Thank you, thanks for being here and helping this culture.

487
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 9: You're doing a lot of good. Just keep that in mind.

488
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, sir. I appreciate that. Happy Good Friday

489
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: to you all. Right after the break. Earlier today, President

490
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: Trump attended the swearing and.

491
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: Ceremonial doctor maymott Oz as the.

492
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: Administrator of the Senators for Medicare and Medicaid Services. I'll

493
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: bring you Chief White House Correspondent Brian Glenn to talk

494
00:21:53,320 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: about it coming up. All right, So, just a short

495
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: while ago in the White House, President Trump took some

496
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: questions from reporters. It happened just after he swore in

497
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: the new administrator for Medicare and Medicaid Services, doctor meman Oz.

498
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: President Trump had this to say about doctor Oz.

499
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 10: Making him one of the most trusted voices on healthcare,

500
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 10: and he also got very high ratings. I can tell

501
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 10: you that he did great with the television thing. As

502
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 10: CMS administrator, Doctor Oz will work carelessly to strengthen and

503
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 10: protect Medicare for our nation seniors and Medicaid for the needy.

504
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 10: Just as I promised, there will be no cuts. We're

505
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 10: not going to have any cuts. We're going to have

506
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 10: only help. Doctor Oz will work to improve the quality

507
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 10: of care for decades to come. And he'll ensure that criminals, fraudsters,

508
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 10: and illegal aliens are not permitted to rob America's senior.

509
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: And there you have that now.

510
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: Shortly after that, President Trump adjusts to multiple shoes, including

511
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: the media, with the ongoing immigrations feute involving Senior Ambrecho Garcia.

512
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: We need to discuss.

513
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: This is a man who is there in person almost

514
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: every day, real America's voice. Chief White House corresponded, Brian Glenn, Brian.

515
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: Nice to see you today. Looks like another decent day

516
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: there on the lawn.

517
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, things will warm it up here in DC. It's

518
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 6: kind a nicer transition from windy and cold to quite warm, actually, But.

519
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: It's nice to cherry blossom season, all right. So the

520
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: OZ thing speaks for itself. We'll see how he does

521
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: in his job. But really the story that is consuming

522
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: Washington in the national news media is Ambrao Garcia.

523
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: And yesterday we saw the senator.

524
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: From Maryland make his way all the way they all

525
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: sell the door, get out. Apparently had Margarita's with him.

526
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how he got him out, but apparently

527
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: President mc kelly must have green lit that and said, Okay,

528
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: he can come out for a little bit, but he's

529
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: going back in.

530
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 2: He's on our custody.

531
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: But isn't it shocking that this senator from Maryland who

532
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: has never met with the family of Rachel morn a

533
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: mother of five.

534
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: Murdered, raped, murdered, and then raped again.

535
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: He's never met with them that was murdered by an

536
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: ol salvad or illegal, much like this gentleman who's not

537
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: murdered anybody but is an Nol salvador in illegal.

538
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: This is It's odd to me, Brian. This is the

539
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: hill they want to die on.

540
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 6: You know, Steve, I was just talking to Harrison Fields

541
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 6: before it came on, and we were talking about this

542
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 6: very subject, and we said, could you imagine that a party,

543
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 6: a political party in this country would absolutely be fighting

544
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 6: to restore a residency in this country who came here

545
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 6: illegally from another country, who has ties to a very

546
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 6: nasty gang, that party. We're trying to bring people back

547
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 6: in this country. Let me just try to figure that out.

548
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 6: I don't know how we've gotten this far, but this

549
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 6: is the hell. They do want to die and fight

550
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 6: and die on Let them, because this is a ninety

551
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 6: eight two percent issue American people.

552
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: It really is.

553
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: And so I just saw a little clip just before

554
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: we came on, Michael Strahan asking abraill Garcia's wife about

555
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: that restraining order after she was beaten around apparently in

556
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, and she found a restraining order, and

557
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: I've read the police reports. It was a violent attack

558
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: on her, so scared, she left the house for her

559
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: own safety and so forth, and got a restraining order.

560
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: He asked her about it. She said nothing. She sat

561
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: there and said almost and said, my husband's alive. That's

562
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: all I want to say. So they all know it.

563
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: But here's what I'm telling you. I'm going to catch

564
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: out for this. She's cashing in on this. They're raising

565
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: money off this deal. I mean, there's no question about it.

566
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: He's never coming back and not for many years. Anyhow,

567
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: he's going. He is in the custody of the nation

568
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: of which he is a citizen.

569
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: Al Salvador. His wife is up here cashing in on it.

570
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: That's the way it looks to me.

571
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, we celebrate the villains in this country like no other.

572
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 6: And that's what the Democrats do. They celebrate the villains

573
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 6: the people. Well, we don't the Democrats do. And of course,

574
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 6: you know, I had this conversation early. Do you really

575
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 6: think Steve that if I was a walk up and

576
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 6: down pebble beach here? Do you think all these anchors

577
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 6: for these large media companies really feel deep down inside

578
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 6: of what they're communicating.

579
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 2: These people who have newborns, who have families. Do you

580
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: think they really.

581
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 6: Want someone has ties to MS thir team going back

582
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 6: into their community to live.

583
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: I don't think they do.

584
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 8: But it's this right here.

585
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 6: It's money and it's vanity, it's fame, it's the essence

586
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 6: of working at the White House is supersedes their sole Yeah, it's.

587
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: A losing argument, there's no question about.

588
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: Look, the Democrats, they were in twenty seven percent. The

589
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: new number I see is twenty one percent. Approval of

590
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party in the United States of America today

591
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: twenty one percent. And it's because of open border policies,

592
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: policies where a Senator will go to Al Salvador to

593
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: try to bring back a guy in the country illegally

594
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: who has been adjudicated by two courts to be a

595
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: member of MS thirteen, who is involved apparently in human trafficking,

596
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: apparently caught with other MS thirteen gang members who apparently

597
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: beat his wife. I mean, we've got this all in documents.

598
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: It's not like we're speculating. It's all in writing. And

599
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: this is where they want to go plant their flag.

600
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: Will let them do it. And by the way, I

601
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: hope the Cory Booker takes a whole team down there.

602
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: Take Jasmine Krocket and take AOC, the leading Canada to

603
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: be the presidential nominee for the Democrats next time around.

604
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: Take them all right, and make a photo off out

605
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: of it. I'll give you the last word.

606
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: I agree.

607
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 6: And with that said, AOC has fundraised nearly nine million

608
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 6: dollars so far this year on this very subject. So

609
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 6: if they're American people, the Libs, the extreme left want

610
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 6: to fund her to be presumably the Democrat leader. Go

611
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 6: do it, have fun. We'll see you in two years

612
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 6: in the mid and then we'll see you again for

613
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 6: a presidential.

614
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: Brian lenn from the White House Today is always Brian,

615

00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 11: credibility of the dollar would have been compromised, as stock

626
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 11: market might have crashed.

627
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: Do you stand by that assessment.

628
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 5: I think that at that time the market was at

629
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 5: a completely different place, and I was referring to the

630
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 5: legal analysis that we had back then, and if there's

631
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 5: new legal analysis that has something different, then it would

632
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 5: be a different market response as well. Good yesterday, three

633
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 5: team or the US team and China President Trump says

634
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 5: are communicating and talks on a potential deal.

635
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 6: Can you discuss any more of what that looks like?

636
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 4: You discuss anything about China right now?

637
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 6: Nothing that might progress from that.

638
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm sorry, I don't have anything to add

639
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 4: on that.

640
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 5: Sorry, but you get another question the right because it's

641
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 5: no fair if you ask a question and I can't response.

642
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 11: I know you mentioned that there was something about fifteen

643
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 11: or potentially twenty deals on the table the last time

644
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 11: we checked in.

645
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 4: Do you have an update on that number?

646
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 5: It's more than fifteen now that I asked jameson Berry

647
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 5: yesterday to give you a readout, and a deal on

648
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 5: the table is specifically like people have listened. Here are

649
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 5: the things we're willing to do, and they're really big,

650
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 5: big steps forward for the American worker.

651
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 4: And going on, Paul, do you think firing J. Powell

652
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 4: is an option now in a way that it wasn't before.

653
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 4: The President and his team will continue to study that matter.

654
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 11: And Trump actually spoken, excuse we have President Trump and

655
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 11: President she didn't Gig spoken.

656
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 5: I don't have any to add on China right now,

657
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 5: has kind of reached out. I guess not anything data

658
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 5: on China. We could keep going, but it's our dain deal.

659
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was back here Jordan Conrads and the gat

660
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 8: Way fund.

661
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: Ie you questions.

662
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 12: So, firstly, President Trump has brought in twenty one over

663
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 12: twenty one billion dollars in revenue, but you're facing criticism

664
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 12: from the media for that number not being highed. Do

665
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 12: you expect that number to increase and how does that

666
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 12: number twenty one billion compared to previous administrations.

667
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 5: Well, what's going to happen is that revenue is going

668
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 5: to go up a lot, And revenue is going to

669
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 5: go up a lot from the tariff revenue from the

670
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 5: people who continue to send stuff into the US. But

671
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 5: when we create jobs of the US, that's also going

672
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 5: to increase tax revenue by a lot. If you think

673
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 5: about imports in the US, it's about sixteen percent of

674
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 5: GDP as fourteen to sixteen percent, and I say eighty

675
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 5: five percent is domestic production. And so as stuff moves

676
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 5: on shore domestically, that you could, like, you could create

677
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 5: a lot more revenue than you get from the tariff.

678
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 5: And so in the end, we're really bullish on revenue

679
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 5: and really bullish on tariff revenue. And as stuff on chores,

680
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 5: which is happening way faster than I expected. That there's

681
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 5: going to be a lot more tax revenue as well.

682
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 12: Exactly as far as Congress is concerned, there is complaints

683
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 12: right now that certain staffers are pushing the president to.

684
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 4: Make sure that the top rate simply elapses, it goes

685
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 4: up to all four.

686
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 6: You'd be said to get can you.

687
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 11: Talk about that because there are small businesses, ninety trade

688
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 11: organization to say that simply is.

689
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 4: Not going to work.

690
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 5: The thing I got to say is that the tax

691
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 5: policy of the president is going to be the decision

692
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 5: of the president, and the president has advisors that say, well,

693
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 5: here are all of the options that you could consider.

694
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 5: You know, President Trump is almost always in the fair

695
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 5: way right to watching his golf game, But on tax policy,

696
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 5: he's in the weeks and he's going to make the

697
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 5: decision about what he does.

698
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 4: Nobody else.

699
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're talking about ninety trade organizations that are saying

700
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 6: that will Work's all business.

701
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 5: The president has not made an announcement about this policy,

702
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 5: and when he does that that's what it should be.

703
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 4: People should start setting letters about it.

704
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 6: When do you anticipate that he will make the.

705
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 5: Decision on that well, the hope is that the tax

706
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 5: bill will be passed, you know, by the suburb early summer,

707
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 5: and so the things are reading very very quickly. We've

708
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 5: had meetings with the so called Big Six over and

709
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 5: over again since the spagant and we expect probably to

710
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 5: finalize the president's thoughts of attacks add at least first

711
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 5: thoughts opening Exelbos by some time next week.

712
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Kevin Hassett, of course, giving us information on the

713
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: economy there and everything going on in watching speed of

714
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: the economy. Tariffs are throwing the global economy into chaos.

715
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: Potential widespread inflation tied to massive supply chain disruptions is

716
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: weighing heavily on all of us.

717
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: But there is a silver lining that most people missed.

718
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: President johalp specifically exempted gold and silver billion if you

719
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: missed it from these sweeping tariffs. While these new policies

720

00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,959
Speaker 1: spend the day with his wife. That's a nice plan.

783
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: Something similar for me. Always go to church, love singing

784
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: in the choir, then lunch with family. So says I

785

00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: Grandkids whose birthdays fall on Easter this year.

789
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 2: That's a praise sister and brother. The brother gave his

790
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: bone borrow he was nine years old to.

791
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: Help his sister, who is fifty at the time she

792
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: had leukemia. She will be thirty three this year. So

793
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: praise because God was with them both. That's a great story,

794
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: isn't it. It's a great story. Trishas enjoy a quiet

795
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: day listening to children find eggs in their yards and

Speaker 1: I'll see you back on Monday to kick off the

804
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: broadcast day on the Steve Rivers Show.

805
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 2: We'll talk about Easter then too.

806
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: Then I'll see you back to Monday afternoon for America's

807
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: Voice Live.

808
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 13: Have a terrific weekend, all right.

809
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: Well, prices at the gas station, well, they're gonna surge

810
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: in California, not elsewhere, because California Governor Gaven Neusim has

811
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: foiled multiple lawsuits against President Trump's tariffs, while his state

812
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: refineries are shutting down and threatening to skyrock and gas

813
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: prices in the Golden State. In nineteen eighty five, California

814
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: had forty refineries today twelve twelve. Valero's Benicia refinery will

815
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: close by April twenty twenty six, and Phillips sixty six

816
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: Los Angeles it's going to go idle October of twenty

817
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: twenty five, slashing more than seventeen point five percent of

818
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: the state's oil capacity. A potential for the Arrow Wilmington

819
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: shud down could cut an additional five point two four percent.

820
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 1: Newsom said he was taking action.

821
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 14: Listen, I can assure you, beginning last night, we had

822
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 14: all hands and we're in the process of addressing any

823
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 14: anxiety that may be created or any market disruption that

824
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 14: may be created by that announcement. I can assure you

825
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 14: beginning last night.

826
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: He's blamed for antiopolicies, high carbon fee, stringent fuel standards

827
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: and regulations making in California uninvestable.

828
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 2: Go figure.

829
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: State has a thirteen point three percent top income tax

830
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: rate that they want to raise, the nation's highest, by

831
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: the way, and a massive budget deficit. While Newsom prioritizes

832
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: lawsuits and ignores the state's crisis all over the place, right,

833
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: So you got that going on.

834
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 2: Where do you guys want to go from here?

835
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 4: All right?

836
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: They got to get to that one, That's what I thought.

837
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: Anyhow, Maryland's Democrats Senator Chris van Holland's grand standing on

838
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: the case of Braill Garcia, an illegal Salvador and deported

839
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: by Ice, took a major clobbering on El Salvador's president,

840
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: Naive Bukelly was playing four d chests, as they say.

841
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 2: Van Holland flew.

842
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 1: To El Salvador to push for Garcia's return, but Kelly refused,

843
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: initially denying access to Kelly eventually allowed Van hollend for

844
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: that photo op you've seen it with the Braill Garcia

845
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: the two SIPs Marguerite is in El Salvador's tropical paradise,

846
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: providing visual proof that Garcia was alive and well in

847
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: his home country and not.

848
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: The victim of torture as many on the left and claimed.

849
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 1: But Kelly, mockingly posting on acts saying Garcia had risen

850
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: from death camps and torture to enjoy a relaxing drink,

851
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: effectively knee capping Van Holland's political antics and the entire narrative.

852
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: Now Van Holland has left with an embarrassing photo shoot

853
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: and a weak political.

854
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 2: Message more suited to theater than diplomacy.

855
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: Now, this week, the Federal Trade Commissioners you may know,

856
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: kicked off its historic anti trust case against Meta in Washington.

857
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg's Meta, which is Facebook and Instagram and WhatsApp,

858
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: is facing serious allegation that the social media giant broke

859
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: anti competition laws and acquiring both Instagram and WhatsApp before

860
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: they can become serious competitors. He went out and bottom

861
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: out the acquisition of these platforms done in twenty twelve

862
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: for Instagram, twenty fourteen for WhatsApp, and these platforms were

863
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: in their.

864
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 2: Relative infancy at the time. Now that that value from.

865
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: Meta appraised at one point two trillion dollars, it's all

866
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: at stake. The entire empire of Zuckerberg's is at stake.

867
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: The trial aims to explore whether or not Zuckerberg's acquisition

868
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: these platforms was done as a good faith investment to

869
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: help fund the innovations they brought to social media communication,

870
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: or if it was done to need of the competitive

871
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: potential of these social media platforms. Here we need to

872
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: discuss this as senior research associated the Heritage Foundation.

873
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 2: Daniel Concrane, Daniel, nice to see you today.

874
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 8: It'll be so good to be here, Steve.

875
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: You know, in a normal world, this would have been

876
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: a lead story all week.

877
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: It's not a normal world. We live in.

878
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: News flash, Daniel, we live in a world where headlines

879
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: change every ten or fifteen minutes. But this is a

880
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: big trial. It is a big deal. The entire Facebook,

881
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it the Facebook universe is in real

882
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: trouble here, isn't it?

883
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: It is?

884
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 15: And really this case represents many, many years of work

885
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 15: and it actually started under the last Trump presidency. It

886
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 15: was the last Trump presidency that started the case, started

887
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 15: the investigations that led to the trial that's now taking

888
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 15: place here in Washington, dcquestion, as you noted, is.

889
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 3: Were did Facebook engage.

890
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 15: An anti caredit competitive conduct when it acquired Instagram and WhatsApp?

891
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 15: And Mark Zuckerberg was on the stand for seven hours

892
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 15: and it seems like they got some pretty damning omissions

893
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 15: from him during during the hearing, he admitted that when

894
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 15: they were looking at buying Instagram. They viewed it as

895
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 15: a competitor, and they saw that it was better to

896
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 15: buy it than to compete with it. And I think

897
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 15: that those words are probably going to come back to

898
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 15: hot Mark and Facebook.

899
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: Well what about the censorship?

900
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: That's what bothers me the most about what this company

901
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: has done a lot of these big tech companies have

902
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: done a lot of information about connections to the Chinese

903
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: Communist Party, a lot of information of Zuckerberg molding and

904
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: well taking a knee if you will.

905
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: Has any of that come out on trial? Yet?

906
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 15: You know, the big the big question is and the

907
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 15: reality is that censorship is downstream of these companies' power.

908
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 15: And so what this trial really seeks to do is

909
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 15: to expose the way that Meta, which owns all these platforms,

910
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 15: has tried to sort of bolster its power by creating

911
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 15: motes that would prevent competition. And so the reason why

912
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 15: we want we think that Meta did engage in anti

913
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 15: competitive practices when it purchased Instagram is that they knew

914
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 15: that Instagram was a competitor and they'd rather just buy

915
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 15: their competition than compete with them. And what that means

916
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 15: for Americans is that there's fewer choices when it comes

917
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 15: to expressing our political views and receiving the political expression

918
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 15: of others, and that's a real threat to our free speech.

919
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 15: That's really what's at stake here. In addition to the

920
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 15: economic problems of monopoly.

921
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: I want you to read your tea leaves just for

922
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: a minute, Dani. We only got about a minute left here,

923
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: but read the tea leaves. Because you've been up on

924
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: this trial. You paid a lot closer attention than most

925
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: of us have because it's been such a busy week.

926
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: Where's it going?

927
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: You said a lot of damning information if you were

928
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: to predict to what do you think is going to happen?

929
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: Are they going to dismember this empire of Mark Zuckerberg.

930
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 15: Well, look, it's too early to tell, but I think

931
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 15: Meta has an uphill battle. If Meta loses, then the

932
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 15: second step will be the remedies. That's where the court

933
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 15: decides what actually happens to the companies, and the devil

934
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 15: will be in the details to see what the court

935
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 15: decides and what the Trump Justice Department in FTC can

936
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 15: negotiate to ensure that this company does not continue to

937
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,920
