1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: I think you've seen President Trump already do it two 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: or three times in the last five or six months, 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: where different members were getting a little upity against the speaker. 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 2: You know, is the speaker perfect? 5 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 3: No? 6 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: Is he a good guy? Yes, he is trying his 7 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: hard to keep united. I think we have to study 8 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: history twenty sixteen. We squandered way too much time when 9 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: we had all three branches at government. 10 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: We can't do it again. Yeah, that is Utah Rep. 11 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: Michael Rooley. He was on Fox News Live and the 12 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 2: absolutely correct, absolutely on point. The biggest obstacle to President 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 2: Trump doing what needs to be done, Republican infighting. Cut 14 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: the nonsense. You know Trump's pieces, they are in place. Actually, 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 2: most Americans are with him. You take a look at 16 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: most Americans are with Trump and what the agenda looks like. 17 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't the Republican Conference be with him too. Got 18 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: to stop the the you know, sanctimonious stuff and do 19 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: what needs to be done. Get on the same page, 20 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: lead and let Trump and Musk and Ramswamian company do 21 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: what needs to be done.

As we take a look 29 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: at twenty five days, twenty five days until we have 30 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: sanity that can be restored in this country, we've got 31 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: to do what needs to be done each and every 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: single day. You know that Donald Trump was working what 33 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: seems like most of the day on Christmas Day, I 34 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: think tells you all you need to know about how 35 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: all important these days, each one of them right now 36 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: until Inauguration Day. Is you now his indication that by 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: about two o'clock probacce, like two o'clock in the afternoon 38 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: on January twentieth, the government's going to be fully operational. 39 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: His administration is going to be fully operational. But that's 40 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: only going to happen if Republicans cut the crap and 41 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 2: do what needs to be done. So let's kind of 42 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 2: walk through this a little bit. First hours, talking about 43 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 2: the absurdity that is our federal government and the role 44 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: that Doge can and needs to play in this going 45 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 2: from five government agencies at the time of this country's founding, 46 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: going for over one hundred and thirty years without a 47 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: permanent federal income tax, to now where we have four 48 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty federal agencies that I bet you if 49 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: he got every single member of Congress together and let 50 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: them name every single agency they could name, you would 51 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: have most that couldn't be named by single member of 52 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: Congress that votes to fund these agencies that they don't 53 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: even really know exist. The elimination of that kind of nonsense, 54 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 2: it creates freedom in so many ways. It gets back 55 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: to the country as founded. And pointed out that Elon 56 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: Musk when he took over twenty Twitter cut eighty percent 57 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: of the Twitter staff eighty percent. You take a look 58 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 2: at X today, it's a better platform. I think we 59 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: could cut eighty percent the federal government and end up 60 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: with a better result. There's any doubt in my mind. 61 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: So as we take a look at the Trump pieces 62 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: being in place, Yeah, I got some of the drama 63 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: that still goes on with cabinet selections in the Senate. 64 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: You know that the whole Gates thing and by the way, 65 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: Pam Bondi as a lording and I can tell you 66 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: she is going to be phenomenal. She is going to 67 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: be an outstanding Attorney General for the United States. And 68 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: you take a look at the the Hageseth situation, RFK Junior, 69 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: you know, Tolsi, all this stuff, and people you know, 70 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: want to be dramatic about that. The bottom line is 71 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: Republicans need to get on board. Trump is a man 72 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: with a plan who's on a mission. Give you an idea. 73 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: Let's kind of take a look at how quickly he's 74 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: moving compared to the first time. Back then, President elect 75 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: Trump nominated his top fifteen cabinet officials by January eighteenth 76 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: of twenty seventeen. January eighteenth of twenty seventeen, two days 77 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: before he was worn into office. You know how long 78 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: it took Trump to nominate his top fifteen cabinet officials. 79 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: He got there in record time. This time around, he 80 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: got there on November twenty fourth. November twenty fourth, ever, 81 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: a month ago, he had already arrived where he hadn't 82 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: arrived until January eighteenth the first time around. He's not 83 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: missing around and timing matters now, in part due to 84 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: the Trump administration's slow start and first selecting cabinet officials 85 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: eight years ago. Yeah, Trump's first one hundred days they're 86 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: almost completely consumed. But just getting his cabinet in place, 87 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 2: it took Trump ninety seven days. We was talking about 88 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: the first one hundred days, how important that is, you know, 89 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: getting things done. It took Trump ninety seven days from 90 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: the time that he was sworn into office on the 91 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: first go until the time they even had his whole 92 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 2: cabinet together. That kind of stuff can't happen this time around. 93 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: You know, if a president is aiming for maximum efficiency, 94 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 2: as obviously Trump is, you got fourteen days in particular 95 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: in January that are among the most critical for a 96 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: president elect to take advantage of. Now you get into 97 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: January sixth, and we've got to get the business the 98 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: country done. I mean, imagine if we don't even get 99 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 2: a speaker together, and then we can't even go through 100 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 2: the process to make sure that Donald Trump is the 101 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: next president of the United States. You want to talk 102 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 2: about republican and competence, You imagine that not getting done 103 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: and what that would do to slow down the Trump agenda. 104 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: What that would do in terms of kaf people want 105 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: to talk about January sixth, twenty twenty. Imagine not being 106 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,119 Speaker 2: able to even get to that point because we can't 107 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: get leadership in Congress. It's absurd. Cut the crap Republicans 108 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 2: already by having nominated his cabinet picks, the ones that 109 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 2: require required the Senate confirmation process, the vetting process already 110 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: happened with these people. A lot of the nonsense that's 111 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 2: played out in the news media. It takes us to 112 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: that instruct a fourteen day window in January that needs 113 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: to take place on schedule, because with the top cabinet picks, 114 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 2: until you get the incoming Senate majority, you get Trump 115 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 2: confirmed as the next president of the United States, you 116 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: get the next Senate majority leader in John Thune, who 117 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: can then take temperature checks each of those nominees and 118 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: then start getting them through that confirmation process. So you 119 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: can pretty much put those votes out there on a 120 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: conveyor belt. Why so that by the time we get 121 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: to January twentieth, we're not taking a look at trying 122 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 2: to get to the vetting process and maybe some votes 123 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: on the Trump nominees, but they're just being sworn in. 124 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: To give you an idea. You go back to January 125 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: twentieth to twenty seventeen. You know how many cabinet nominees 126 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: requiring Senate confirmation or confirmed the time he ended up 127 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: taking the oath of office. You had two only two Secretary 128 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: of Defense, Secretary of Homeland Security. That was it. And 129 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: then on January twentieth of twenty seventeen, only one more 130 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: confirmation took place. That happened to be Mike Pompeo for 131 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: Secretary of State. By the end of the first day 132 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: of the Trump administration, get three three of his cabinet 133 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: officials that are in place. Absurd, right, You didn't even 134 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: have another vote on another nominade that took place for 135 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 2: another three days back in twenty seventeen, because again in 136 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: competent Republican leadership slowing stuff down. Well, Trump's nomination pays 137 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: this time around, which is given the Senate all the 138 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: time they need to get their job done, regardless of 139 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 2: whether you might have controversies whatever else. The bottom line 140 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: is that Trump can have his entire cabinet in place 141 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 2: on day one in office, and that needs to be 142 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: the goal here. The pieces are in place, Trump's ready 143 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 2: to roll right away, working on Christmas Day to try 144 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: to get there. Which how many of these members of 145 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: Congress that are our grand standing and that want to 146 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: slow up the Trump agenda and the name of their 147 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: own righteousness, how many of them? Do you think we're 148 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: working really hard yesterday? So yeah, then you take a 149 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: look at the American people, oh, by the way, us, 150 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: and how do we view Trump? Two point zero? We 151 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 2: view him as being better than ever. You take a 152 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: look at the thirty one states he won, the three 153 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: hundred and ten electoral College votes, winning the national popular 154 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: vote by two and a half million votes. There's no 155 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: doubt that Donald Trump's third presidential election his best ever, 156 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: best by Republican presidential candidates and George H. W. Bush 157 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 2: in eighty eight. So maybe it's most appropriate that Trump 158 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 2: currently has his highest approval ratings ever. You take a 159 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 2: look at everything that has been for Trump, the one 160 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 2: thing that he never had was what positive favorability ratings, 161 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: positive approval ratings. Even when he's had his peak in 162 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen early twenty twenty, before the VID, you never 163 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: got to where a majority of Americans viewed him favorably 164 00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: and approved that he was in a good position. One 165 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 2: without COVID, no doubt, but people overwhelmingly for everything that 166 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 2: happened to Trump, of course, said yeah, we screwed up, 167 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 2: We screwed up. And so here we are, with all 168 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 2: the stuff that has played out, all this grand standing 169 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: by Republicans, the controversial sending confirmation picks, most Americans are going, yeah, 170 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm liking what I'm seeing, I'm liking 171 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 2: what I'm hearing. Most Americans approve of this transition process. 172 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 2: That wasn't the case the first time around for Trump. 173 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 2: And you take a look at what we had coming 174 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 2: into this year. Biden had the lowest approval rating by 175 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: any first term president in American history coming into this year. 176 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 2: Let alone where we are now, I mean, and approval 177 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: points started back in the nineteen thirties. And so then 178 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 2: you take a look at where we are now with 179 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: Trump having the highest approval, the highest favorite ability ratings 180 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 2: that he's had at any point, but the majority of 181 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: the American people going, yeah, so, why is it that 182 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: you would have Republican infighting? Why is it that you 183 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: would have the potential for a slowing down of the process. 184 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: You know, there's a time for that kind of fighting 185 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: and potential in fighting whatever else that is not now 186 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 2: you get on board with the Trump agenda. So the 187 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: bottom line is that's what Americans want. I mean, obviously 188 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 2: he said, hey, you know what, we really screw things 189 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: up four years ago. We want Trump back. We and 190 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 2: by even larger numbers, his favorability, his approval is only 191 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: grown since selection day. And now what we just going 192 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: to blow this whole thing. We're going to get to 193 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: January sixth and not be able to be functional in Congress. 194 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: Now it's time to get things done. It's time to 195 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 2: get things done, and it's time to get on board now. 196 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: According to Pew, fifty three percent of America currently approve 197 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: of the way that Trump has laid things out, compared 198 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 2: to forty six percent who don't. That is a net 199 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: approval ratings twenty two percent better than Biden's. Do you 200 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: want to know where Congress is? Speaking of twenty two percent, 201 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: it's about there. It's about there. And how many members 202 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: of Congress are only there because of Trump's coattails this 203 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: time around as well? And speaking of the individual plans, 204 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 2: fifty nine percent of Americans approved Trump's economic plans as 205 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 2: he laid them out. Fifty four percent criminal justice, immigration 206 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 2: deportation plans, which is huge fifty three percent foreign policy 207 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: what they're hearing there. So yeah, the pieces are in place. 208 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 2: Trump's ready to roll. But also importantly, for the first 209 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 2: time yet you got a broad majority of the country 210 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: that's behind this. So Republicans in Congress have to be too. 211 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: That is absolutely critical to making America great again. I'm 212 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck. We'll be right back. 213 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 4: Clay, Travis and Buck sext telling it like it is. 214 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 4: Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you 215 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 4: get your podcasts. 216 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 5: Everywhere you look, you find more of this stuff. A 217 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 5: trillion dollars. That means we found a lot of waste. 218 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 2: But it's everywhere. 219 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 5: It's in all the big departments, in the Department of State, 220 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 5: it's in nih it's in the National Science Foundation, and 221 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 5: people wonder why does it exist? Every year we have 222 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 5: this department of doze. Are they going to be able 223 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 5: to get rid of it? 224 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 2: Yeah? Senator rand Paul out this week with his annual 225 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: Festivus Report, the Government Waste Report, where by the way, 226 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 2: I've always appreciated that reference say, look just the easy 227 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 2: stuff we can find, not anything that is even remotely 228 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: controversial to the average person, but just absolute nonsense. Kind 229 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: of trillion dollars in waste. Here we are over thirty 230 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 2: six trillion dollars in debt and one trillion they can 231 00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: just easily point to in Ran Paul's Festivus Report that 232 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 2: could go right now as we take a look at 233 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 2: what needs to happen, what needs to change twenty five 234 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 2: days from now, But what only can change twenty five 235 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 2: days from now if we don't have Republican infighting, if 236 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: we have Republicans on board with Donald Trump's agenda. And 237 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: part of what's so important about this agenda is even 238 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: understanding it. And I wonder you have the whole you know, 239 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: Project twenty twenty five dealed by the Heritage Foundation. That's 240 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 2: you know, the godless souls and slanderous news media tried to, 241 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 2: you know, just tie Trump around and bastardize and everything else. 242 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: Trump actually did come out with his own agenda this year, 243 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: Agenda forty seven. It's been there on his website for 244 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: a while, it's there right now, and it's his twenty 245 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: point plan to save America. He makes it pretty clear 246 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: what Trump in to save America. You know, the top 247 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: item in his agenda, seal the border and stop the 248 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: migrant invasion. Okay, that's important. That's important. You know what's 249 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: important making sure that Donald Trump is in place on 250 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: January twentieth so he can seal the border and stop 251 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: the migrant invasion. Now, we're not trying to fight over 252 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 2: to who the next Speaker of the House is going 253 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: to be. For example, the second item an agenda forty seven, 254 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: Trump's plan carry out the largest deportation operation in American history. Okay, 255 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 2: so number one, you stop the bleeding, seal the border, 256 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 2: stop the invasion. Number two, carry out the deportation, the 257 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: largest deportation operation in American history. He's gonna need his 258 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: people in place to be able to do that, rightman's 259 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 2: ready to go. Number three, end inflation and make America 260 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: affordable again. That'd be nice, right, How would you like 261 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: to start saving money pretty close to January twentieth. Well, 262 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 2: it's really important that Donald Trump is in place, that 263 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: his agenda is on track, that his officials are there 264 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: to do what they need to do to be able 265 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 2: to make that happen. Number four, make America the dominant 266 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 2: energy producer in the world by far, and for five. 267 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: Stop outsourcing turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower. 268 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 2: There's only the first five. Be right back with more. 269 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 2: Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck Flay, Travis and 270 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth. 271 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 5: Ultimately it takes Congress. Congress has to get rid of 272 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 5: the spending. Those can point out the spending problems and 273 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 5: the ways, the same way I've been pointing it out. 274 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 5: But the reason it's not eliminated is I don't have 275 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 5: the votes to get rid of the spending. So I 276 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 5: am very hopeful that DOJE will draw attention to this 277 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 5: the same way I've been drawing attention to it. 278 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 2: Don't have the votes to get rid of it. That 279 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 2: is really unfortunate if you have a Republican majority incoming 280 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 2: again needing to get with the program, get with the 281 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 2: Trump agenda. That Rand Paul on Fox News. By the way, 282 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: speaking of Fox News, Marion Williamson is you know, she's 283 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 2: run for president as a Democrat a couple of times, 284 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 2: never really got out of the starting gate. She is 285 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 2: now looking to take the reins at the DNC. She's 286 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: running for DNC leader. You know, it's interesting when you 287 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: take a look at Marian Williamson, and you go. You 288 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: know who's making a lot of sense on the left 289 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 2: right now? Is that one? This gives you an idea 290 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: about how far they're gone. Party probably would be in 291 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: better shape if she were running it. As you take 292 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 2: a look at rand Paul his Festivust Report out this 293 00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 2: week detailing the annual waste as easy to find. Yeah, 294 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: his Festivus Report isn't really the controversial stuff. It's just 295 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: kind of the nonsense. You take a look at and go, 296 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: what we spend like a billion dollars on training trainees 297 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: in South America? Was that a good use of tax dollars? 298 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 2: You know, those kinds of things. That's what's in his 299 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 2: Festivus report. It's your money, as we're over thirty six 300 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 2: trillion dollars in debt. But the other thing that's so 301 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: important again is it's your freedom right. So Brian Mudd 302 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: in for Clay and Buck and as I mentioned in 303 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: the first hour, with five federal agencies at the time 304 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 2: of our founding, we're at four hundred and thirty right now, 305 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: four thirty how many can you name? 306 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 3: Go? 307 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 2: More importantly, how many can the members of Congress that 308 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: have funded them go? And so you know, this is 309 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 2: one of the questions that comes up, well, can we 310 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: just get rid of these agencies? In some cases that 311 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 2: that could be extremely difficult. What isn't funding If you 312 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 2: don't fund these agencies, well they're not going to be 313 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 2: able to really operate, are they. And so with Republicans 314 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 2: in control of Congress and the new Congress absolutely can 315 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 2: defund these agencies, can absolutely take a look at ran 316 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 2: Paul's Festus Report and say, yeah, let's cut all that crap. 317 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 2: Can absolutely take a look at the recommendations that are 318 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: going to come down from Doge and act on them. 319 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 2: It's a choice. And that's why it's important right now 320 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 2: that every elected Republican in Congress gets their button gear 321 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: and gets behind Donald Trump's agenda, which, by the way, 322 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 2: and the previous segment by talking about what it actually is, 323 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 2: Agenda forty seven, you know, it's been laid out for 324 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 2: a long time, hasn't been talked about, you know, just 325 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 2: in the twenty point plan that it actually is. But 326 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: it's straightforward again. Number one, seal the border, stop the 327 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 2: migrant invasion. Number two, carry out the largest deportation operation 328 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 2: and American history. Number three end inflation and make America 329 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 2: affordable again. Remember how low inflation was barely one percent 330 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 2: when Trump left office. Number four, make America the dominant 331 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 2: energy producer in the world by far. Speaking of things 332 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: that were great by the end of his administration, how 333 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 2: much were you paying for a gallon of gas back then? 334 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 2: A couple bucks? Number five stop outsourcing and turned the 335 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: United States into a manufacturing superpower. And of course tariff's 336 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: going to play a role in all that policy as well. 337 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 2: Number six. Number six large tax cuts for workers and 338 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 2: no tax on tips. Of course, what he has run 339 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,479 Speaker 2: on with his tax policy, and speaking of Republican unity 340 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 2: next year, this is critical for any number of reasons because, 341 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 2: as it stands, the Trump tax policy, the Tax Cut 342 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: and Jobs Act that was passed in twenty seventeen, that expires. 343 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 2: That expires, so your taxes will go higher if Republicans 344 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 2: can't get their butts in gear and pass something that 345 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: is even better. That is what Trump is proposed in 346 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 2: with the no tax on tips, the no tax on 347 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 2: over time, no tax, and Social Security, and who knows, 348 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 2: may be rethinking the federal income tax altogether, which he 349 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: has stated as a possibility, though it is an explicit 350 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 2: lead part of his twenty point plan right now, But 351 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 2: what is number seven? Defend our Constitution, our Bill of rights, 352 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 2: our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, 353 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 2: and the right to keep in bare arms. His eighth 354 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 2: item prevent World War three, restore peace in Europe and 355 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 2: the Middle East, and build. And this is interesting because 356 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 2: that first part of his eighth agenda item here prevent 357 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 2: World War three. I think just simply by being president 358 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 2: elect is the only a reason that we're not currently 359 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 2: in World War three. And I still kind of can 360 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 2: say to win, if we can get to January twentieth, 361 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: then we're not in it. But the restoration of peace 362 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 2: in Europe in the Middle East? How easy is it 363 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: to forget where we were in the Middle East? Remember 364 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 2: when Trump left office, not only was Jerusalem finally recognized 365 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 2: by the United States, you actually had Israel and Saudi 366 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: Arabia talking about normalized relations. You didn't have the new 367 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 2: axes of Iran in Russia. Remember, Iran is in just Iran, 368 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 2: Iran is Russia. Iran is also China. You go work 369 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 2: backwards to go China is Russia is Iran is little 370 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 2: rocked man in North Korea, is Venezuela, is Cuba, is Nicaragua, 371 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: all the bad actors that are aligned, which if you 372 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 2: take a look at the actions, they've all acted badly together, right, 373 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 2: no coincidence here. So simply by instituting him in his policies, 374 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 2: we're likely to see a lot of the nonsense. Stop 375 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 2: the stuff that never would have started in the first place. 376 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 2: But the second part of number eight, build a great 377 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 2: iron dome missile defense shield over our entire country, all 378 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 2: made in America. That one really isn't talks about much, 379 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 2: and to the extent that I've come across anybody who's 380 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 2: really talked about it, your godless hole of Slatter's news media, 381 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 2: for the most part, you know, they scoffed it the 382 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 2: way that they did Reagan right when he was talking 383 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 2: about STI, which ended up becoming extraordinarily effectual. So, yes, 384 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 2: Trump would like to see an iron dome type of 385 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 2: equivalent over the United States, not just in Israel, which, 386 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 2: by the way, if somebody's going to be able to 387 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,719 Speaker 2: create that, I don't know, you think Elon Musk might 388 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 2: be that guy. For example, Number nine and the weaponization 389 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 2: of government against the American people wouldn't that be nice? 390 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be nice? Number ten, stop the migrant crime epidemic, 391 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 2: Demolish the foreign drug cartels, crush gang violence, and lock 392 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 2: up violent offenders. Kind of important here now it goes 393 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 2: along with, you know, where he starts, the deportation, the 394 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 2: closing the border. But you've also got to you also 395 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 2: got to make sure that the sanctuary governments that's where 396 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 2: this really comes into play, are dealt with. As we 397 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 2: continue to hear about all these sanctuary governments, Oregon, you know, 398 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 2: being the latest to say, we're putting out a playbook. 399 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 2: We're putting out to you know, the state of Orgon 400 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 2: all of our local governments, making sure they can know 401 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 2: we're a real sanctuary state and making sure they stand 402 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 2: up to the big bad Trump administration that actually wants 403 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 2: to take people that are not legally in this country 404 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 2: and remove them from this country. How dare they. 405 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 6: Right? 406 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: So stop the bi great crime epidemic. This basically in 407 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 2: so many ways is like, look, the whole sanctuary stuff, 408 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 2: it's going to stop, just as we've been told all 409 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 2: throughout the Buying administration, and just as Trump had to 410 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 2: fight in his first administration to get his policies on 411 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 2: immigration through all the court battles and everything else to 412 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 2: where he eventually won and we did have remained in Mexico, 413 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 2: which was highly effective. Once he was able to finally 414 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 2: do that. Going through the court battles, what you'll see 415 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: is that, yeah, it is a federal issue, right, Okay, Well, 416 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: then your local government in New York City and whatever, Portland, 417 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 2: if we're talking about orient what they have to say 418 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 2: really doesn't matter because you're not allowed. Crazy thing. It's 419 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 2: called the supremacy Clause in the Constitution. You don't actually 420 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 2: have the ability by a state or local government to 421 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 2: usurp federal authority where federal authority exists. And so you 422 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 2: had it. You're a way on sanctuary policy up to now. 423 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 2: The problem is you can do all the sanctuary stuff 424 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 2: you want, and if you have people that are dumb enough, 425 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 2: like a lot of the voters that put these people 426 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 2: in power in these sanctuary places, if they're dumb enough 427 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 2: to screw themselves, that's one thing. But it doesn't just 428 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 2: screw them, does it. It gets you and your family too, 429 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 2: Because how many of these sanctuary governments brought people in, 430 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,479 Speaker 2: housed them, gave them goodies, and then they ended up 431 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 2: going to other places that aren't necessarily sanctuary states or 432 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 2: sanctuary cities and causing horrific crimes. So what happens in 433 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 2: these sanctuary places doesn't stay in the sanctuary places. Number eleven. 434 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: Rebuild our cities, including Washington, DC. Make them safe, clean, 435 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 2: and beautiful again. That'll take some doing. Number twelve. Strengthen 436 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 2: and modernize our military, making it without question the strongest 437 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: and most powerful in the world. Number thirteen. Keep the 438 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 2: US dollar as the world's reserve currency. It's a whole 439 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 2: other one. As China continues to angle to knock us off, 440 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 2: and as our thirty six trillion dollars in dead gives 441 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 2: more and more governments around the world and opportunity to 442 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 2: take a look and go, you know what, maybe the 443 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 2: US is the one it used to be. Number fourteen. 444 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 2: Fight for and protects social security and Medicare with no cuts, 445 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 2: including no changes to the retirement age. Well, to do that, 446 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 2: we're gonna have to get a lot more responsible with 447 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 2: other governments spending, aren't we. So that's all the more 448 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 2: reason why it's important. You'll have people kicking and screaming 449 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 2: for these government agencies and nobody including members of Congress, 450 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 2: can even name. Oh my gosh, we can't do without 451 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 2: the Department of Tranning training in South America for example, 452 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 2: Whatever are we going to do well? How about I 453 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: don't know, say social Security and medicare not have them 454 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 2: become insolvent. Actually keep the promises that were made to people. 455 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 2: Number fifteen. Cancel the electric vehicle mandate and cut costly 456 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 2: and burden some regulations, just the one interesting one with 457 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 2: Elon in particular in the mix there. Number sixteen cut 458 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 2: federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical 459 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 2: gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content 460 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 2: on our children. Amen education the single biggest issue for 461 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 2: generations now it's all started in the classroom. Apartment of 462 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: Education being in the cross ears absolutely needs to happen. 463 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 2: Number seventeen Keep men out of women's sports. How about 464 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 2: that one? Right shouldn't be difficult, Yet here we are 465 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: in this moment in time to binding administration, these leftist governments. 466 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 2: Keep men out of women's sports. Number eighteen to port 467 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: pro hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and 468 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 2: patriotic again, although I do think to do so, you 469 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 2: have to get rid of some of the members of 470 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 2: the squad. Number nineteen secure our elections, including same day voting, 471 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 2: voter identification, paper ballots, proof of citizenship, and number twenty 472 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 2: unite our country by bringing it to new and record 473 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 2: levels of success. Amen. Amen, All right, let's go to 474 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,719 Speaker 2: the phones. We've got Art, who has patiently been waiting 475 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 2: in Georgia. Art, welcome to the show. 476 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 6: That good afternoon. I want to talk to you about 477 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 6: this death penalty thing. I argue with people that the 478 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 6: death penalty actually is biblical, and if we go to 479 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 6: Genesis ninety six, we have evidence of this where God said, 480 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 6: who's so sheddeth man's blood? By man? Shall his blood 481 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,719 Speaker 6: be shed? The image of God made him man. This 482 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 6: was one of the very first commandments that God ever 483 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 6: gave to man, after he said don't eat of the 484 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 6: Tree of life and of knowledge. This was one of 485 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 6: the first laws that he passed down, saying clearly that 486 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 6: if you kill a man, you should be put to 487 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 6: death by the hands of men. 488 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 2: And Art, I appreciate the uh. I appreciate the calling 489 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 2: the perspective as well, and this gets back to something 490 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 2: I brought up in the first hour. So we're talking 491 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 2: about I was just talking about the inconsistencies with Joe Biden, 492 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: about how even with the communation of the thirty seven 493 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 2: of forty death row inmates earlier this week, even then 494 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 2: there was inconsistency, right, you know, he could try to 495 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 2: make the case I'm Catholic, the Catholic Church as opposed 496 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: to the death penalty, but he didn't. Right, if he 497 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 2: had done all forty, he at least could have declared 498 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 2: some kind of intellectual and moral consistency.

And this is 511 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 7: important because he is doubling down on retaking the Panama Canal. 512 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 7: Trump writing Merry Christmas to all, including the soldiers, the 513 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 7: wonderful soldiers of China who are lovingly but illegally operating. 514 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 2: The Panama Canal.

It just nothing's going 523 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 2: to be affordable. And the Trump tax policy, everybody's going 524 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 2: to be paying more. It's going to hurt the economy, 525 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 2: and everybody but the richest ended up paying lesson taxes. 526 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 2: The economy was great. 527 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 528 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 2: See, when you rethink things, when you do things differently, 529 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 2: it's amazing how the results can follow. On the note 530 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 2: talking about dose, talking about doing things differently, talking about 531 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: Trump's twenty point agenda, and Jay and Louisiana wanted to 532 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 2: weigh in. 533 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 3: Jay real quick, Heay, thanks for kicking the call. First 534 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 3: of all, I didn't hear all of the twenty point 535 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 3: of Jennet, but I do agree with most of what 536 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 3: I heard. Secondly, I have heard you staying over the 537 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 3: last hour, hour and a half how it would be 538 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 3: awesome if somehow we could cut eighty percent of the 539 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 3: federal budget, as bloated and wasteful as the federal budget is. 540 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 3: I have to disagree on that one point. I think 541 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 3: if you cut eighty percent about the largest budget in 542 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 3: the history of the world, we would crash the world economy.
