Well, 18 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: today he chalked up two more victories despite a lot 19 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: of cheerleading from Democrats in the legacy media that he 20 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: might fail. Remember just ten days ago the uproar in 21 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: the Oval office with Voldemir Zelenski, the Ukrainian President. Well, today, 22 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: Ukraine capitulated it agreed to a thirty day cease fire 23 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: with Russia if Russia reciprocates. President Trump says he'll be 24 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: calling Vladimir put In the next couple of days to 25 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: try to get that deal online. That moves a ceasefire, 26 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: something someone thought just a week ago would be impossible. 27 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: Many people thought to the doorstep to the threshold of 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: possibly happening. 29 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: And if that's not enough victory for one day. 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: Just a little while ago, it was announced by Congress 31 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: that the House passed the stop gap spending measure that's 32 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: going to keep the government open to September. This was 33 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: a Trump backed bill. It also provided fresh new money 34 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: for Tom Homan to the better secure the border, accelerate 35 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: the deportation of illegal aliens, particularly criminal illegal aliens from 36 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: mar lawns. That's a really good development as well. There 37 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: was a Trump back bill. It passed only one Republican 38 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: vault to Tom Massey. I have a funny feeling Tom 39 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: Massey is going to be well primary next year because 40 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: President Trump said he's got a primary and he's mad 41 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: at him for always voting against these bills. One other 42 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: important thing, the Agriculture Secretary two weeks ago, announced that 43 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: she would start working on bringing out the prices of eggs, 44 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: and Waila, it happened today, a buck eighty three drop 45 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: in the price of a dozen eggs in just two 46 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: weeks since Brooke announced. Agriculture Secretary Brook Rowlins announced that 47 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: is another major win for the American people. All Right 48 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: with that, I'm going to stop the victory of this 49 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: and turned to my amazing co host, Amanda. 50 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 3: I am so glad about the price of eggs because 51 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 3: I absolutely love scrambled over all the way, so I'm 52 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 3: very glad to see that anywhere people are too. All Right, 53 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: I've got some news on the economy front tonight, especially 54 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: focused on those tariffs that President Trump has been fighting 55 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 3: with Canada over in The Canadians initially came out swinging 56 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 3: against them, against them, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford even 57 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: said that he would levy a twenty five percent surcharge 58 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: to power that Canada sends to a few of our states. 59 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 3: He also said that it would stay there even after 60 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: President Trump revealed that he was pushing his twenty five 61 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: percent tariff deadline for Canada back to April second. While 62 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 3: it seems the Ford has changed his stance on that. 63 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 3: I'm going to let him explain why. In his own words. 64 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 4: Secretary Lutnik has sent out an olive branch to us 65 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 4: to come down and immediately meet with him, meet with 66 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 4: the whole Trade administration, and discuss the future rather than 67 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 4: waiting till April. The second threats going back and forth 68 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 4: tid for TAD. I've agreed to suspend temporarily, and we 69 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 4: always have that tool in our toolkit until we sit down. 70 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 3: A little bit of a different tune this time around, 71 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 3: and it looks like that's a positive step for American 72 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: and Canadian trade. And President Trump weighed in on it 73 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 3: earlier today as well, saying that it would have been 74 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 3: a very bad thing if Ford kept that twenty five 75 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: percent surcharge on electricity in place. 76 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 5: Watch well, already Canada, and I respect very much. 77 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 6: As you know, there's a very strong man in Canada 78 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 6: who said he. 79 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: Was going to charge a search charge. 80 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 6: You're a terrip and electricity coming into our country. He 81 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 6: has called that, he said he's not going to do that. 82 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: He's not going to do that, and. 83 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 7: It would have been a very. 84 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 4: Bad thing if you did. 85 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: And he's not going to do this. So I respect that, 86 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: but we were just informed that he's. 87 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 8: Not going to do that. 88 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 3: Negotiations are far from over, but at least for now, 89 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: some cooler heads prevailed. All right, turning to the markets now, 90 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: because we can also we all can see what the 91 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 3: Trump administration is attempting to do, lessening American dependence on 92 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: foreign nations economically, as well as implementing a more protectionist 93 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 3: trade policy and cutting federal spending. And it's not making 94 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: the stock market very happy. That's because the market doesn't 95 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 3: like the unknown, and changing our system so radically takes 96 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: a little bit of time. That is the Trump Administration's explanation. 97 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: In President Trump also elaborated on that earlier. 98 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 5: Our country had to do this. 99 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 2: We had to go and do this. 100 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 6: They've taken away other countries have taken away our business, 101 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 6: They've taken away our jobs. I did it initially very 102 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 6: strongly against as you know, China and some others. In 103 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 6: the first term, what I have to do is I 104 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 6: have to get the workers back. 105 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 5: I have to get the factories open. 106 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 6: We have ninety thousand factories and plants are closed from 107 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 6: what you had just brought it a NAFTA, which is 108 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 6: not very long. 109 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: Ago, ninety thousand, think of it, ninety. 110 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 6: Thousand factories and plants are closed from what it was 111 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 6: and it's just not right. 112 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: And today the press briefing, Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt did 113 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: a great job of explaining the strategy. And of course 114 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: with economic growth, like anything else, there are growing pains. 115 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: John, Yeah, listen, and President warned about this all through 116 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: the campaign. 117 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: This is going to happen, and he's delivering and. 118 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: It's playing out exactly the way he said what he 119 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: said a couple of weeks, So don't worry, You're goin. 120 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: We'll be back at the table they were today. 121 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: Indeed, now Vladimir Futon leans in and there's a seascar 122 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: that will be a pretty historic moment, another. 123 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 2: Achievement for the President. 124 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: All Right, we're very lucky to kick off our show, Tam. 125 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: We're going to be trying to get some of those 126 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: members of Congress who passed that bill on the show 127 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: a little bit. 128 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: Hopefully Halph Norman will join us in a little bit. 129 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: But we're going to turn to Rillermerker's voice, chief Fight 130 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: House correspondent, our good friend Brian god to witness everything 131 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: that went out of the White House today, Brian, good 132 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: to have you back on the show.

I guess the first time 139 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 5: I think any of us have had a press conference 140 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 5: around a group of electric vehicles, being especially Tesla there 141 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 5: at the South Line, but President Trump showing his support 142 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 5: for Elon Musk and Tesla. Of course, the last few 143 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 5: days they've been under attacks literally on the streets, people 144 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 5: throwing rocks, vandalizing dealerships, burning cars, setting them on fire. Well, 145 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 5: today President Trump, you know, make goo good on I 146 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 5: think a promise that he was going to buy a Tesla, 147 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 5: and you're looking at it right there. He took the 148 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 5: red one. I believe that's the model s he took 149 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 5: that vehicle. And well he says he's going to let 150 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 5: us campaign staff drive John and Amanda because guess what 151 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 5: he's not allowed to drive. 152 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: That's right, WHI prevails a present, Brian. We were talking 153 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: about this a little bit before the show and kind 154 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 3: of joking about it, but I do wonder if it 155 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 3: might be a reality, because I remember when Bob Goya 156 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 3: came out and spoke out in support just of this 157 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: country and patriotic values, and their sales went through the roof, 158 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: and I have to wonder if this might be something 159 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: like that on a grander scale. I understand it's not 160 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 3: a can of Pento beans. It is a Tesla, But 161 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: especially with President Trump suggesting that maybe we should give 162 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: tax breaks on car loans if the vehicles are made 163 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: here in the United States, and so that kind of 164 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 3: puts Tesla on the table for a lot of Americans. 165 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 5: I think so as well, Amanda. And I was talking 166 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 5: to a friend earlier about this. If you're we're in 167 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 5: the market for a new or used car, lot, let's 168 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 5: talk about a new one. And you're a big fan 169 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 5: of this country and made in America, and you're a 170 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 5: big fan of President Trump. But obviously, like the things 171 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 5: that Doge is doing and Elon Musk is doing, why 172 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 5: not consider buying a Tesla. I think that you're supporting 173 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 5: a company, you're supporting an individual that has put a 174 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 5: lot on the line. You know, President Trump likes to 175 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 5: mention the fact that Elon's not getting paid for this, 176 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 5: He's not getting paid to do all of this, and 177 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 5: that was one of the questions that came up in 178 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 5: that press conference about him taking time away from Starlink, 179 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 5: from X running, you know, Tesla running all his companies, 180 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 5: So why not? Why not if you're in the market 181 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 5: for a new car and you want to go to electric? 182 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 5: Even President Trump said he never thought the day would 183 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 5: come when maybe remember he took away the rebates all 184 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 5: those electric vehicles within Elon Mussteel stood there very supportive 185 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 5: of President Trump. So who knews go get go kick 186 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 5: the tires this weekend at a Tesla dealership. 187 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: Why not take a look into this? 188 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: All right, here's a fun thing. It's a phono op. 189 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: They're going over the car and then President drops a 190 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: bomb Joe in the middle of that, like, oh, by 191 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: the way, you great disagreed to a thirty day seas 192 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: fire that had it caught the meat that I would 193 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: have loved to see the media expressions race, what was 194 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: going on? 195 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: Why now saw when that happened. 196 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, none of us, John expected that one liner. Oh, 197 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 5: by the way, we have a ceasefire, and I just 198 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 5: got off the phone. It's clear they've agreed with it. 199 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 5: None of us thought that was going to happen, And 200 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 5: of course that did take the media by shock, and 201 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 5: you saw people kind of look around like, did he 202 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 5: just say what we think he said? So, hey, what 203 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 5: a great way to drop that. You have the world's attention. 204 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 5: They're staring out these beautiful vehicles, and you come out 205 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 5: with a beautiful plan to stop the bloodshed. And that's 206 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 5: was exactly what President Trump wants to do. John, and Amanda, 207 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 5: We've heard him say that often many times. He wants 208 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 5: to be the peacemaker. So now it's time to bring 209 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 5: the other party to the table and let's get it done. 210 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 5: One of the questions was John, would Zelensky come back 211 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 5: to the White House, and President Trump said likely, So. 212 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: Well, I want to ask you about what happened just 213 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 3: a few miles from all three of us, actually that 214 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 3: September CR passed through. Now it'll head to the Senate. 215 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 5: Your reaction, yeah, John, Amanda, I never thought I would 216 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 5: say you're going back a year ago and said that 217 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 5: I was going to stand on the White House lawn 218 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 5: and talk about the support of Republicans on a clean CR. 219 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 5: I'd say, you're crazy, But that's exactly what would happened. 220 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 5: Of course, Thomas Massey was really outspoken from the very beginning, 221 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 5: being a hard know on this. There were a few others, 222 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 5: like late last night that I was told converted to 223 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 5: support this. But we're just kicking the soccer ball, if 224 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 5: you will, not to pull a phrase from the FIFA 225 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 5: press conference last week, we're kicking the soccer ball just 226 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 5: down the field till September thirtieth, and then we get 227 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 5: to do this all over again. But as long as 228 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 5: we have the budget to protect the border, things like that. Now, 229 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 5: this will not include tax on tips, no taxing overtime, 230 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 5: no taxes social Security that does not include in this. 231 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 5: But perhaps we can get the job done on September 232 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 5: thirtieth and start to put some of these mandates in 233 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 5: there that President Trump successfully communicate it back in his election. 234 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 5: But listen, we get to fund the government. None of 235 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 5: us want to close the government. That's what the Democrats 236 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 5: I think wanted to happen. Didn't happen. Republicans rallied together. 237 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 5: But let's keep an eye on September thirtieth, John, you 238 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 5: know that's a big day and we do not want 239 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 5: to see this again. I know a couple people in 240 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 5: Congress know them pretty well that have said they will 241 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 5: be a hard No, they will not do this again 242 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 5: on September thirtieth, So they've got some work to do 243 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 5: to clean it up. 244 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a six week window, but it's a 245 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: window to try to create history, not the legacy pattern 246 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: that we've had for two decades of cr There was 247 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: not everything was cleaning to see are there's some good 248 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: money for the Border Patrol and Tom Holman and others 249 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: to get that process wrapped up even more. That's a 250 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: big win for the men on the front and women 251 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: on the front lines of the border battle. That probably 252 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: is sweetened the pond for some people, right. 253 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 5: Yeah, I did, and of course that's that's music to 254 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 5: those guys. Ears is they've got such a battle and 255 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 5: then they've gone from what twelve thousand apprehensions a day 256 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 5: to what two hundred and eighty nine. I mean, it's 257 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 5: drastically have gone down. But there's still a lot of 258 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 5: work to be done on the border, a lot of 259 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 5: construction work to continue. Good to see that funding there 260 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 5: as that still remains a focus on this administration. Of course. 261 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 5: You know, if you look at the tariffs up north 262 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 5: in Canada, that's a whole nother egg you can crack, 263 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 5: not the lack of a better turn right now. And 264 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 5: by the way, eggs are down in price, thank god. 265 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 5: So but yeah, so he's you know, it's good to 266 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 5: see the money going where it needs to. And by 267 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 5: the way, I've been told that the buckets of cash 268 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 5: in this budget will not go to some of the 269 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 5: DEI organizations that that that that we did not want 270 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 5: the money to go to. So they're going to hold 271 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 5: that stuff back. So yes, it's a clean CR, but 272 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 5: with an asterisk on the bottom, and that will not 273 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,479 Speaker 5: make sure some of that money goes to these organizations 274 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 5: that we simply do not want to fund. 275 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, this will be the first time that a clean 276 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: CR or CR was wasn't followed by a big omnibus 277 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: spending bill. There'll be no omnibus spending build yes here, 278 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: so that cycles at least broken am. 279 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Brian. Before we let you go, I want 280 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 3: to ask you. You know, President Trump and Congressman Thomas 281 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: Massey a storied friendship. I guess you could call it. 282 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: But but in Massey's defense, this guy reads the bills, 283 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: so for a good reason, he always votes. Know on this, 284 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 3: do you anticipate that that relationship will mend before the 285 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 3: next interm. 286 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 5: I think so, to be honest with you, I really do. 287 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 5: I know that they had amended that relationship prior to 288 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 5: this particular vote. They've had some phone calls, they have 289 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 5: been communicating. You know, President Trump put out that Truth's post, 290 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 5: you know, basically stealing to primary him, and that's I 291 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 5: think that's to be expected, and I think he really 292 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 5: wanted comprehensive support on this. So let's see if that 293 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 5: relationship can get back on the positive side. I know 294 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 5: Thomas Massey is very popular in his district, so you know, primary, 295 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 5: I might sure if that would be something that would 296 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 5: go through. I don't know. I hope it doesn't. I 297 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 5: hope they can kiss and make up and then perhaps 298 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 5: on September thirtieth, let's just let's just get it done. 299 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: That'll be a watch for It's going to be fun.

Congressman, thank you so 342 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: much for being here. 343 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 7: Great to be with you, Amanda, John Sarah. 344 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 3: I heard that there were some Republican no votes last night, 345 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: most of them, with the exception of Congressman Thomas Massey, 346 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 3: switched over to yes votes. 347 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 9: What changed, well, you know, typically, Amanda, Freedom Caucus, including myself, 348 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 9: have been totally against crs. It's no way to run 349 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 9: a country, no way to run a business, you know, 350 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 9: based on a month to month basis what happened. It's 351 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 9: a new day in Congress, It's a new day in 352 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 9: this country. I think overall people have confidence in what 353 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 9: President Trump's doing. He wanted this, he wanted to continue 354 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 9: his agenda. I think people have confidence now in the appointments. 355 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 9: The Star studied alignment of people he's put in office, Cash, betail, FBI, PAM, BONDI, AG, PETE, hex, Military. 356 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 9: They just know that the money will go in the 357 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 9: right directions on reprioritizing it. 358 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 7: And the other thing he did. 359 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 9: Was have the Freedom Caucus and a few others to 360 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 9: the White House and he asked questions and a lot 361 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 9: of people had questions about different things that affected the district. 362 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 7: He took them one by one, uh and he had 363 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 7: you know, he. 364 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 9: Just answered everything. And so it's the right way to 365 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 9: do things. And that's that's what brought ultimately everybody but 366 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 9: Thomas Mass and Thomas has been a hard note from 367 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 9: the day one, and he expressed his opinion on that. 368 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 9: So but it was a good day for the country. 369 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 9: It's the right thing to do at this time. And 370 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 9: so I'm glad it passed. 371 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, really really important. 372 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: And it also breaks a cycle because this will be 373 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 1: the first time a CR pass that wasn't followed by 374 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: big omnibus spending bill. 375 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 2: So this year there won't be any more Christmas Tree. 376 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: Omnibus spending bills and then the process of getting to 377 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: a smaller government in September. Is there that gets lost 378 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: in the legacy media. But it's a pretty historic breaking tradition. 379 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 9: Right, historic breaking tradition that we've never really broken before. 380 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 9: And you know the fact that the spending is fixed 381 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 9: is frozen until September thirtieth. Our budget year starts October one, 382 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 9: and I would tell you that the I think that 383 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 9: with what was done today signified that we're not going 384 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 9: to give it away. We've got reconciliation coming up where 385 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 9: the Senate only takes fifty members plus one, and I 386 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 9: think I think you will see some dramatics, you know, 387 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 9: cuts to the two or two. 388 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 7: Trade and the Doge. 389 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 9: Everything the Doge Commission has found with Elon Musk has 390 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 9: been monumental. We'll codify a lot of those. I mean, 391 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 9: look what he's found in the USAID. People are tired 392 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 9: of tax dollars going to other countries for idiotic things. 393 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 9: I think you'll see a lot more with when they 394 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 9: get into the Social Security dead people getting paid. And 395 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 9: it's just a new day in this country. 396 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 7: And it couldn't have come quick enough, sir. 397 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 3: I want to look forward to what happens in six months, 398 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 3: and Congress better be doing the same if they actually 399 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 3: want to get it done. But I know there are 400 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 3: a number of Republicans, yourself included, who are champing at 401 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 3: the bit to get to some serious cuts when it 402 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 3: comes to the next budget. How sizable do you think 403 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 3: that that can conceivably be? 404 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 9: Well, you know, we've got to one point five trillion 405 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 9: and then the two trillion that we've got to meet. 406 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 9: We want to pass the tax cuts and no smoking mirrors. 407 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 9: We can't tell the American people that we're really cutting 408 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 9: the size of government. And everyone knows that the cancer 409 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 9: in America is spending. We've got the income people pay, 410 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 9: the Americans pay the taxes, but it's spending. 411 00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 7: This kindness in trouble. 412 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 9: I think you'll see a variety of things reprioritized, from 413 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 9: the military to medicaid, where work requirements need to be 414 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 9: in place. We need to block grant the money, so 415 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 9: let the states decide it. And I guess it's just 416 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 9: you know, the dollar amount hopefully will be greater than 417 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 9: we've got listed. And I think Mike Johnson is brought 418 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 9: into that. There are no side deals with Mike Johnson, 419 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 9: as with Kevin McCarthy. To be honest with there were 420 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 9: side deals that we didn't know about that railroaded everything 421 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 9: we wanted to do. But I think the cuts will 422 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 9: be real. I think the American people will see exactly 423 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 9: what they are and I think that with the two 424 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 9: point six percent growth rate that we're anticipating, and I 425 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 9: think it'll be greater than that, well, you know, we'll 426 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 9: turn this country down as we've never done before when 427 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 9: you combine the tax cuts along with it. 428 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be historic. 429 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: There's a tough decision that's sent it to Democrats are 430 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: going to have to make because after two decades and 431 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: saying we can't. 432 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: Shut down the government, they may be the party that. 433 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: Shuts down the government if they don't get enough to 434 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: get the sixty votes. What's it like to be a 435 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: Senate Democrat right now? Probably pretty uncomfortable. 436 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 9: Right It's pretty uncomfortable because if they vote against us 437 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 9: john it's going to mean that they shut it down. 438 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 7: And guess what the Democrats want. 439 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 9: Their price tag for changing their vote was basically doing 440 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 9: away with the DOS Commission Muslim Elon Musk and taking 441 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 9: the rights away from Donald Trump. 442 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 7: I mean, their hatred of this. 443 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 9: President, which was on full display during the State of 444 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 9: the Union just you know, is unbelievable. 445 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 7: But it'll be interesting what he does. 446 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 9: But I think you will see President Trump go into action, 447 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 9: and I think you'll see it'll be interesting what they do. 448 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 9: They're not feeling comfortable right now, including Chuck Schumer, who 449 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 9: is on the hot seat. 450 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, Congressman, how influential was the Speaker in whipping votes tonight? 451 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 3: Is this does this stiff and his spine a little 452 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 3: going forward? Knowing that he had a lot to do 453 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 3: with making sure everybody stayed together. 454 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 9: He did in a manner. There is a trust factor 455 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 9: with Mike is a trust factor that not only did 456 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 9: he do the right thing with this bill, but going forward, 457 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 9: the House controls the purse strings. We you know, we 458 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 9: cannot give up everything we bargained for in this bill. 459 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 9: And on the reconciliation. I mean, it's got to be 460 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 9: real now. If it doesn't, if it comes back, and 461 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 9: if members switch, then it's going to be a fight. 462 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 9: And the next three weeks, three weeks to nine weeks 463 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 9: will be instrumental. We've got to put this budget together, 464 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 9: get the propriation bills passed for the for the twenty 465 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 9: sixth year, and. 466 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 7: I think we will do that. 467 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 9: It's just a different move from the appropriators people who 468 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 9: before had not been willing to budge on cuts of 469 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 9: any kind. I think it's a different attitude now. 470 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: I don't think people can appreciate how historic this moment 471 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: could be over the next few weeks and what the 472 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: country's trajectory could be with Congress and doing what it's doing. 473 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: It's really amazing. So I want to turn to another 474 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: historic thing because I think ten days ago everybody in 475 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: the Legacy meeting said Donald Trump's planned for peace in 476 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: Ukraine was dead after the Zelenski blow up in the 477 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: Old Office. But today Zelenski came back around and said, 478 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: I'll greate a thirty day for us. He's fire if 479 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: Puten does that puts us at the threshold. Your thoughts 480 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: on how that came about. 481 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 9: It came about because Donald Trump's the leader. I mean, 482 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 9: we all saw the public meeting where basically Zelenski came 483 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 9: into the Oval Office and thought he was going to 484 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 9: dictate the terms and conditions of getting more money. And 485 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 9: we've already spent over one hundred and fifty billion dollars 486 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 9: in Ukraine anyway, and as the President said, he doesn't 487 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 9: have the cards to demand that. And the attitude changed completely, 488 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 9: particularly the mental rights. Imagine Donald Trump wanting to get 489 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 9: something back in return learned for America instead of just 490 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 9: doling out money, which, by the way, there is no pot. 491 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 7: Of money that we have laying around. 492 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 9: It's interesting that it's money that we borrored and we 493 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 9: paid interest on. So he's dictating the terms. Isn't it 494 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 9: amazing how quickly it happened with somebody like Trump, who 495 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 9: drives a hard bargain and he loves America, and it 496 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 9: showed up. 497 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 3: Now, all right, we checked off the federal government, now international, 498 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 3: So let's come back to local. D C has a 499 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 3: Democrat mayor. I think for a lot of people, they 500 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 3: thought that BLM Plaza, which is not far from any 501 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 3: of us here in Washington, got painted over. How did 502 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 3: that happen with Muriel Belser in power. 503 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 9: Well, it didn't have because she approved that she would 504 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 9: never initiate things like that. Now, whether they're reading the 505 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 9: tea leaves or not, it's hard for me to believe 506 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 9: that she had anything to do with it. She probably 507 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 9: went screaming and kicking that when it happened. But look 508 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 9: at the DEI things and awokeism that this president is saying, 509 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 9: you're not going to get a paycheck and you're not 510 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 9: going to get federal funding. If this is what you're 511 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 9: going to advocate for, it's meritocracy. You're based on mayrit, 512 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 9: not the color of your skin or anything else. And 513 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 9: it's just a to be honest. Now, I never thought Washington, 514 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 9: we would see the day on that that this would happen. 515 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 9: But it's a symbol that should have been done away 516 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 9: with years ago, and it should have never been allowed 517 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 9: in the first place. 518 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're returning to that meritocracy that great Americans, 519 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: even MLK wanted for this country. We're returning to. I 520 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: think that makes a lot of people feel a lot 521 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: better about where we are an America. 522 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 2: Congressman, it's always a great honor. 523 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: We always get a great dose of common sense every 524 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: time you come on the show.

Thank you 578 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 2: very much. I appreciate it. 579 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: All right, this has been a pretty tense month for 580 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: the crypto industry. Trump signs in order to create a 581 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: crypto reserve, He has a crypto conference at the White House. 582 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 2: This is moving. 583 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: The traditional markets don't seem to be fond of it, 584 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: but the rest of the country realized that this is 585 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: moving at warp speed. 586 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 10: Now, right, Yeah, I think that's a special thing about 587 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 10: this administration. I've never seen action quite as fast. And 588 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 10: then this administration is doing at a breakneck speed. It's 589 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 10: almost its startup level speeds, the way Silicon Valley functions. 590 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,239 Speaker 10: So you know, obviously you can see the influence. I 591 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 10: was fortunate enough to be in Washington, DC, and I 592 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 10: did not go to the summit, but I went to 593 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 10: the event, which was an official event after the The 594 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 10: energy in Washington, DC right now for cryptocurrency is something 595 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 10: pretty special, Yeah, pretty amazing. 596 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 3: WELLUS, I want to ask you about crypto on a 597 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 3: citizen scale, because I know a lot of people. You know, 598 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 3: they have diversified portfolios, They have all different sorts of 599 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 3: retirement accounts. They even have physical gold and silver and 600 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 3: precious metals. When it comes to having something like bitcoin 601 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 3: or other cryptocurrencies as a piece of your portfolio, it's 602 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 3: obviously a little bit more volatile than something like gold. 603 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 3: But is that a good idea, and how sizable of 604 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 3: a portfolio of the portfolio should it be? 605 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 2: Well? 606 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 10: As a registered investment advisor, I'm going to answer none 607 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 10: of those questions, but I'm going. 608 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 2: To tell you a story. 609 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 10: I was flying home from was flying to New York 610 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 10: from Washington, DC, and I was sitting next to a 611 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 10: man who was probably in his late seventies, who came 612 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 10: from the traditional cab business, and we started talking about 613 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 10: digital currency, and he was terrified of it. By the 614 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 10: time we were done with the flight, he had been 615 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 10: set up with a coinbase account and had bought some bitcoin, 616 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 10: and he was less terrified. Because the way this should 617 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 10: really be thought of is another asset class, and whether 618 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 10: you buy it or not is really dependent on your 619 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 10: risk tolerance. So that's really the way I look at it. 620 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 10: It's not as hard to understand once you jump in 621 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 10: and kind of joke, you know, the first time pork belly, 622 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 10: you know, pork bellies were announced to speculate on pork bellies, 623 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 10: I'm sure people were very concerned. 624 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, and taxi medallions might have flavored his distrust of 625 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 3: anything little. 626 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 2: That's true. 627 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: All right, Crypto reserve, tell us what it is and 628 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: why it's so important for those who don't understand what 629 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: it is. 630 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 2: And this is a monumental moment. It is a monumental moment. 631 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 10: And look, reserves has been around a long time, and 632 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 10: we've heard a lot of words like reserve and stockpile. 633 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 10: You know, when we think about a reserve, it's to 634 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 10: hold on to something, you know, create some stability. And 635 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 10: the thing that's really special about bitcoin in particular is, 636 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 10: you know, with gold, we really don't know how much 637 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 10: is out there, and with bitcoin, come twenty. 638 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 2: One forty, that'll be it. 639 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 10: There'll be about twenty one million bitcoins out there. But 640 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 10: I think the key thing to think about is a 641 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 10: digital currency reserve. We're not just talking about bitcoin, because 642 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 10: there's other currencies. When the Gensler administration was in office, 643 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 10: one of the things I was concerned about was innovation 644 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 10: being driven out of this country. Now what we're going 645 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 10: to see is innovation that sticks around. So a lot 646 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 10: of these alternative currencies are developed by American companies, and 647 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 10: each one has a different kind of vertical connected to it. 648 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 10: So what I'm really looking forward to is innovation staying 649 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 10: here and the development of a lot of these products, 650 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 10: you know, around these currencies that are American based currencies. 651 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 10: When we think about that in a reserve product, Again, 652 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 10: financial instruments. 653 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 2: Have been around forever. 654 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 10: If you think of this just as another asset class, 655 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 10: you can do all sorts of things with it that 656 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 10: you can do derivatives, and then there's other things you 657 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 10: know that are out of the box, taking DeFi, which 658 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 10: is emerging. So there's lots of different ways to kind 659 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 10: of generate revenues, not just for investors, but for the 660 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 10: federal government itself. 661 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, less you mentioned I think you said in twenty 662 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 3: one forty that's the end timeline for a finite number 663 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 3: of bitcoins. It's my understanding that obviously it's not physical. 664 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 3: It's basically just a ledger exchange. That's kind of what 665 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 3: cryptocurrency is, and it's most rudimentary explanation. So what does 666 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 3: it mean that in twenty one forty that we top out? 667 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,239 Speaker 10: Well, I mean when we think about scarcity, I mean 668 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 10: that obviously impacts pricing, and you know, with bitcoin you 669 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 10: can divide it as many times as you want to. 670 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 10: And the real significant factor with bitcoin is as traditional 671 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 10: finance gets involved and we see pension funds and states. 672 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 10: You know, we have twenty seven states that had legislation 673 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 10: suggest thing that they create a bitcoin reserve. I believe 674 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 10: six have been rejected at this point. You know, but 675 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 10: all of that legislation is very different. I think it's 676 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 10: really important to think about again as a whole. A 677 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 10: digital asset reserve means there's all sorts of different cryptocurrencies 678 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 10: and that's the part that is really kind of exciting 679 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 10: because as those companies emerge, they'll create different values. 680 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, so important last question for I want you to 681 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: look into your crystal ball. There's so many new elements 682 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: of a new economy unfolding before our eyes. Or states 683 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: like Utah considering having gold transactions. There are cryptocurrencies coming 684 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: on all around us and growing in popularity as people 685 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: learn about it.

You know, when I 689 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 10: send money, do I have paper money? You know, when 690 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 10: they send money in the middle of the night, are 691 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 10: you having a truck come pick it up? I think 692 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 10: we've been out of the paper money business for a 693 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 10: long time. 694 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: Great points, really well answered.

You were just so fantastic. I heard 718 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: from so many people that just loved your matter of 719 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: fact approach about what you learned. You're an investigative journalist, 720 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: you're a TV achory. You go dig and say, is 721 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: this thing real? Is this house stealing thing real? Tell 722 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: us what your investigation found. 723 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's the real deal, John and Amanda, and it's 724 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 8: just getting worse. In fact, I got to tell you 725 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 8: about this article, and I was really surprised. Showed up 726 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 8: a magazine called House Beautiful, and you know your mom 727 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 8: and my mom, they all grew up with all these 728 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 8: house magazines and so on. So I looked at the 729 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 8: title of the article. It was called titled pirates, and 730 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 8: it's about the very thing that we're talking about today, 731 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 8: and that is house theft or title theft or deep theft. 732 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 8: It's all the same thing. And basically what it is 733 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 8: is the bad person, whoever they may be, or it 734 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 8: might be a criminal entity, just to get your name. 735 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 8: And they can get your identity off the Internet and 736 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 8: with you know, with a virtual reality and all this 737 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 8: kind of stuff. They can pretend to be anybody anywhere, anytime, 738 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 8: and they can pretend to be the owner of the 739 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 8: title of your property, take that title and then transfer 740 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 8: it into their name or the criminal entities name, and 741 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 8: then they leverage the value of this property. And a 742 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 8: man and I are out in the West Coast. We know, 743 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 8: you know how much real estate has gone up around here. 744 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 8: They don't want the house. They don't want the property. 745 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 8: They want what it's worth, and they will either get 746 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 8: a loan or multiple loans, or they can try to 747 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 8: sell the property whatever. But basically, for most people, John 748 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 8: and Amanda, this is the total sum of their life savings, 749 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 8: you know, is in their home and stole it. 750 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 2: You've got big problems. 751 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 3: John. So often you find that different types of fraud 752 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 3: and scams they target America's senior citizens. And I personally 753 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 3: think there's a special place in hell for people like that. 754 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 3: But this does not discriminate, right, This is anybody. 755 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, and Amana, you know, you mentioned that special place 756 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 8: in Hell. But the people that do this, they have 757 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 8: no conscience, so they don't care if it's your mother, 758 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 8: your grandmother, or whoever. They don't care about the individual. 759 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 8: All they care about is stealing the value of the property. 760 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 8: And then the money goes into a bank offshore or 761 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 8: someplace they're gone. And then what happens is two or 762 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 8: three months down the road, you're going to get a 763 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 8: dunning letter or a knocking the door or whatever from 764 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,399 Speaker 8: a loan company and they're going to say you haven't 765 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 8: made payments on this equity loan or whatever. You know 766 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 8: that they say you took out and you didn't and 767 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 8: you wouldn't even know about it until they contact you, 768 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 8: and by that time it's too late. 769 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 770 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: We've had some really high profile cases, celebrity cases that 771 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: I think have educated the American public. The San Diego 772 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 1: Padres almost lost their stadium, Elvissey's family almost lost Graceland. 773 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: But one of the things that you learn is that 774 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: one of the simple modernizations we did putting public records online, 775 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: became the trigger for this crime. Right because all of 776 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: our deeds and titles are up on digital platforms and 777 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: a cruk can find them pretty quickly, right, it's sort 778 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: of the starting point for all this. 779 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's really easy, John, I mean you just go 780 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 8: on the internet and you can look up your own property. 781 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 8: Every ease of property, every parcel has a number that 782 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 8: is devoted to that particular piece of land. 783 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 2: And it doesn't have to have a house on it. 784 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 8: You know, it could be an airbnb or your cabin 785 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 8: in the woods, your mom's house or whatever, or an 786 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 8: open piece of land. And this article in House Beautiful 787 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 8: talked about this fellow that owned a bunch of pieces 788 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 8: of property down in Austin, Texas, and somebody came to 789 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 8: the real estate agent and said, I've got this property. 790 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 8: I want to sell it. And you know, there are 791 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 8: a lot of companies, loan companies out there that are 792 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 8: willing to pay, you know, sixty seventy eighty cents on 793 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 8: the dollar for a piece of property. They're not going 794 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 8: to ask, and so it's easy and the and the 795 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 8: criminal doesn't care because if they can get sixty cents 796 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 8: on a dollar piece of property, they're going to do it. 797 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,720 Speaker 2: You know, it's just sixty cents in their money. 798 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, John, if you're victimized. I mean, this is 799 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 3: this is not an inexpensive expendsure. If you have to 800 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 3: claw back your homes equity and your homes title. Is 801 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 3: there an estimate of, like, on average, how much people 802 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 3: have to expend? 803 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 8: Oh gosh, it could Amanda, it could be anything. I mean, yeah, 804 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 8: as you say, you have to go through the court system. Okay, 805 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 8: you have to hire an attorney. That can be whatever. 806 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 8: You know, it is expensive and it can take years 807 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 8: to do it, and then you have all this trauma, 808 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 8: frustration and everything you have to deal with, and the 809 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 8: court systems aren't necessarily going to be on your side 810 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 8: because of a title. If this piece of paper looks 811 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 8: proper and for all the world, you know, the county 812 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 8: clerk is going to go, okay, you know, there's a stamp, 813 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 8: there's your signature. Everything is property, you know, proper. You know, 814 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 8: for this particular piece of property. You have to fight 815 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 8: this in court. The only way to prevent it is 816 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 8: to get a service that actually monitors the title. And 817 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 8: then less you know, you know, if there's something funky 818 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 8: going on and there's one particular company out there that 819 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 8: I have looked at it and I researched all these 820 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 8: John and Amanda, because it's a big problem here in 821 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 8: the central coast California where I am. I can't tell 822 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,280 Speaker 8: you so many stories. I work with a local DA's office. 823 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 8: They have actually had to start their own division for 824 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 8: cyber crimes of this nature. But the company is called 825 00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:00,439 Speaker 8: Home Title Lock. They're the pioneers in the business. I've 826 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 8: researched them all and I really like these guys. I 827 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 8: use them for my own family's properties and so on. 828 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 8: What they do is three things. They monitor your title 829 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 8: twenty four to seven. You can't do it. They will 830 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,880 Speaker 8: alert you if there's something fishing going on, okay. And 831 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 8: then number three, and this is the most important, John 832 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 8: and Amanda, they will work with you to restore the 833 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 8: title instead of having to go through that whole legal 834 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 8: maraise that you talked about, Amanda, which is it's a 835 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 8: spirit killer and Home Title Lock go with the website. 836 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 2: Don't take my word for it. 837 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 8: You know, I'm just a curious guy and I researched 838 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,839 Speaker 8: this stuff.

It is our final siege of the show. 867 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 3: And we started with the news of that thirty day 868 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 3: cease fire with Ukraine, the letter to President Trump. And 869 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 3: you've got some Roofsky news. 870 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just doing some reporting in between the break here. 871 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 1: Two things. President Trump is trying to get a call 872 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,240 Speaker 1: to set up with Vladimir Putin in the next twenty 873 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: four to forty eight hours, and he has dispatchesty Witkoff 874 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: to Moscow to meet with Vladimir Putin. That's a sign 875 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: that there's serious discussions on the other side of this equation. 876 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: All right, we know where Ukraine is. President Trump moved 877 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,799 Speaker 1: them to a thirty day seas fire deal. Now will 878 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin come meet in the middle? Signs that that 879 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: process is already underway. Just got that confirmed in the 880 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,479 Speaker 1: commercial break. We'll keep you up to data all week, 881 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:36,919 Speaker 1: all night long, and I think we'll have a pretty 882 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: good story tomorrow. 883 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,720 Speaker 3: And the question also is our Democrats going to accuse 884 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 3: President Trump of going awry with his foreign policy discussions, 885 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 3: because once again, he's going to one side and then 886 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 3: the other, which is what happens exactly how this. 887 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: Is how it always happened until the Democrats made it 888 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: something there. But I will keep you off on the 889 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 1: update on the time Middle side. We've bring on the 890 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,399 Speaker 1: show a lot. She's going to have a great story 891 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: tomorrow kind of pulling this all together, making sense of it. 892 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: But a pretty historic day. I thought it was a 893 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 1: pretty big game Canada too. We started the day with 894 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: the market spook that maybe got a big escalating trade war, 895 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,240 Speaker 1: and we ended with something that may make the markets 896 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: happy tomorrow. 897 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, you got Ontario's premier who said, and by the way, 898 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 3: we do get a pretty decent amount of energy at 899 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 3: least for those US bordering states with Ontario. 900 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 2: Michigan are big ones. I think was another big one Minnesota, Minnesota. 901 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,359 Speaker 3: So you've got these states that border, and so their 902 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 3: premiere Doug Ford said, yep, well fine, we're just going 903 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 3: to slap twenty five percent on our energy exports to 904 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 3: the United States. So there was a moment when I 905 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,839 Speaker 3: heard some of those states governors were considering declaring an 906 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 3: emergent state emergency based off of that. But John I 907 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 3: wonder if this could be the jumping off point or 908 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 3: maybe an opportunistic situation for President Trump to explore more 909 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 3: nuclear because we know that President Trump is open to 910 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,320 Speaker 3: ideas as long as it doesn't trample on traditional fossil 911 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 3: fuel and oil. So I don't know. Maybe this is 912 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 3: a conversation that President Trump wants to have with Doug Bergham. 913 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: Or if you get past this point, if you get 914 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 1: to a ceasefire, which is the first part, that's the 915 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: easiest part, then you've got to get to a long 916 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: term peace deal, and that's going to include some sort 917 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 1: of peacekeeping troops to make sure that Russia is intented 918 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,280 Speaker 1: ever again to do this. But if you get past 919 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: those two points, you have some historic opportunities. How are 920 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,919 Speaker 1: you going to rebuild Ukraine to its prior greatness because 921 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 1: it's a beautiful architectural country. You can talk to a 922 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: nuclear arms reduction conversation with Russia. Russia short for cast 923 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: as they want to keep spending money on nukes. Maybe 924 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 1: mutual reduction. You might draw China into that. Russia can 925 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 1: help maybe put pressure on Iran. 926 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,439 Speaker 2: Which is a top objective there. 927 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: Russia could also put pressure on Cuba, so you open 928 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,879 Speaker 1: up the map for other peace deals. If you can 929 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: get through this very difficult period of getting peace between 930 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine, which no one's been able to achieve 931 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,799 Speaker 1: for the last decade, what's possible after that is really 932 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: historic kind of could mirror what happened in the era 933 00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,799 Speaker 1: of Perastroka, when Trump, when Reagan dope up talk to Gorbachev, 934 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: all the way to the fall of the Soviet Empire 935 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 1: and a period of relative peace in Eastern Europe. 936 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 2: But there's a lot of ifs in bots before you 937 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 2: get there. 938 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,720 Speaker 1: But I don't think people realize if this starts to happen, 939 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 1: it starts to roll. 940 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 2: This is a big deal for a long time in history. 941 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and what do you anticipate. And we didn't actually 942 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,359 Speaker 3: talk about this piece of President Trump's speech to join 943 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,719 Speaker 3: Congress last Tuesday, But when President Trump was talking about 944 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 3: furthering these negotiations and coming to a peace deal, it's 945 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 3: a bad posture for Democrats to be against that, because 946 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:32,439 Speaker 3: don't we all want peace. 947 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,759 Speaker 1: Well, they've been rooting against it, so of course they 948 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: were ruining against us a government shutdown. They might be 949 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: rooting forward now. So Democrats are all over the map 950 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 1: right now? Politics does that Republican's flip sides. Yeah, it's 951 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 1: a tough look for piece, it's a tough look for 952 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,279 Speaker 1: Europe to get in the way of this. There's some 953 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,759 Speaker 1: things I'm hearing and I just want to put these 954 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: on the table because I think the dynamic is so 955 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,840 Speaker 1: much more complicated than the simplistic way that the legacy 956 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 1: media has been covering this. If you're Vladimir Putin and 957 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: Europe has been making you the pariah of their continent 958 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 1: for the last decade and they're expecting you to foil 959 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:11,280 Speaker 1: this plan, there's no better way to send a middle 960 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 1: finger to middle of Europe than to agree to the 961 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: deal and agree to Donald Trump, who had been demonized 962 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 1: as a Russian asset when he wasn't. That is something 963 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 1: that Vladimir Putin loves to do. Be the unexpected pull 964 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 1: the rug out from under Europe. That's one possibility. There's 965 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 1: a second calculation that Vladimir Putin thinking, which is Democrats 966 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:31,879 Speaker 1: are going to come back into power if this thing 967 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: is still going on at some point in the future, 968 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to be the pride again and I'm going 969 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 1: to have more economic station. 970 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 2: Can we just get this cycle over with. 971 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: I think that's the third and third if he takes 972 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: the talk that's scared started all this in Ukraine's going 973 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 1: to be a NATA, which is never going to be 974 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 1: a natum. That takes some pressure off of the whole system. 975 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,880 Speaker 1: He can sell that back to his home country. That 976 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:54,359 Speaker 1: I got off the table. I think Vladimir Putin's thinking 977 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: about things that most American media aren't reporting on right now. 978 00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 3: That's right, all right. I want to move on to 979 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 3: something that we choose earlier. Thirteen hundred employees at Department 980 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 3: of Education being let go. That is roughly half the 981 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 3: size of the workforce here in Washington, d C. I 982 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 3: know that President Trump hasn't officially signed that executive order 983 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,720 Speaker 3: dismantling the department, but it seems like the Secretary lindiment 984 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 3: Man is already already making moves cuts a trip and half. 985 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we all know what that means when you 986 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 1: can save time, right, That's why we use our GPS 987 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 1: to try to save. 988 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 2: Time halfway there. 989 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 1: If the President this is a department that's like two 990 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: hundred and it was a twenty four point six billion 991 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: dollars yere spending, it's a big big department. Burke Rollins 992 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: is a businesswoman, one of the iconic businesses in the world, 993 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,280 Speaker 1: and I think that she's going to take that ROI 994 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 1: analysis and make it work here and another savvy businesswoman, 995 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: Brooke Rollins, now our agriculture secretary. 996 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 2: Two weeks less man less than two weeks, thirteen days. 997 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,600 Speaker 1: You're right, this one day short and eight prices are 998 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: almost down two dollars. This is the sort of action 999 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 1: that Americans want it, and they're getting it in droves. 1000 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,799 Speaker 1: And this is a very capable team that President Trump 1001 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 1: was assembled. No matter what do you think about the policies, 1002 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: they're getting what they said they get done. 1003 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:07,439 Speaker 2: They're getting it done. 1004 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, And look, you know, I think that three years 1005 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,720 Speaker 3: ago I never expected for there to be an egg 1006 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 3: metric when it came to the economy.
