1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,800 Speaker 1: Hey, Trump said he would be meeting with Vote to 2 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: discuss which of these so called Democrat agencies to cut 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: from while the government. 4 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 2: Is shut down. 5 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: As the co author of Project twenty twenty five, Vote 6 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: has been wanting to reshape the federal government for years, 7 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: literally laying out the steps to achieve the long sought 8 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: conservative goal of a president with dramatically expanded authority over 9 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: the executive branch, including the power to cut off spending, 10 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: fire employees, control independent agencies, and de regulate the economy. 11 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: And thanks to the president's shutdown, he and Vote are 12 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,959 Speaker 1: working overtime to that exact goal. As The New York 13 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: Times reports, to many legal experts, mister Vote's work is 14 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: a threat to the foundations of democracy. One of the 15 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: main sources of power the Congress has over the executive 16 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: branch is the budget, sat Elouis Pascachov, the law professor 17 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: at Georgetown University. If the executive branch isn't controlled by 18 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: the power of the purse, then there is very little 19 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: that will control the president. 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: The president literally turning on American citizens, calling them the 21 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 3: enemies within. It reminds me of during the Wilson administration 22 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 3: during World War One. Where dissent was criminalized. Where it 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 3: wasn't violence that was the concern from the Wilson administration. 24 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 3: It was people who were speaking out against the president. 25 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 3: During that time, journalists were jailed, newspapers were threatened and 26 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: shut down. Activists who were speaking out against the war 27 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 3: were put into jail for long periods of time. One 28 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 3: gentleman third ten years. And the whole thing was about 29 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 3: looking for the enemies within this country. It sounds very 30 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 3: similar to what the President of the United States not 31 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: just says he wants to do, but it's attempting to operationalize. 32 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: And I just I want to shake people tim because 33 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 3: it's like, oh baby, it might not be, it might 34 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 3: not be maybe about to happen. We are living it 35 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 3: and so folks have to be aware. But am I 36 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 3: just am I being dramatic? 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 4: We want to dismantle the phrases Steve Vanna only uses 38 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 4: dismantled the administry of state, like that's what they're there 39 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,639 Speaker 4: to do. That's what Doge was, and that's what Russell 40 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 4: Vote is there to do. 41 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: And I think the. 42 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,559 Speaker 4: Only difference this time is that they're trying to blame 43 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 4: the Democrats for it to do what they already wanted. 44 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 4: You know, I'm not as good a reporter as well, 45 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 4: so I didn't write the quote down, but Caroline'll have it. 46 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 4: This warning was out there and essentially said something to 47 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 4: the effect of, right, like, the pain is going to 48 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 4: continue until the Democrats, you know, have an agreement. 49 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: You want to listen to the sounds looks like, Caroline 50 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: love it. 51 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 5: Look, it's likely going to be in the thousands. It's 52 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 5: a very good question. And that's something that the Office 53 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 5: of Management and Budget and the entire team at the 54 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 5: White House here again is unfortunately having to work on today. 55 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 5: These discussions and these conversations, these meetings would not be 56 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 5: happening if the Democrats had voted to keep the government open. 57 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and she goes on from that to the point 58 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 4: with that quote is it's crazy that they're just basically like, look, 59 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 4: there's going to be pain. 60 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: We're happy about the pain. 61 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 4: Kind of it's the Democrats fault if they want to 62 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 4: stop the pay they're just admitting, like the White does, 63 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: just as many people are suffering because of this, but 64 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 4: they don't care. I guess you got to give them 65 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 4: credit for the brazenness and for the you know, for 66 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 4: being candid, but like that's that's their position right now 67 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 4: on the shutdown. They want to cut these jobs and 68 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 4: they don't really care if people are to be harmed 69 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 4: by it. 70 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Stephen Miller is an unhinged nerd uh. 71 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 6: And I would I would venture to say that most 72 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 6: law enforcement officers in this country don't take him seriously. 73 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 7: Uh. 74 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 6: And and I want to say that saying things like 75 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 6: that while it is inceniary and it's disgusting and it's disgraceful. Uh. 76 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 6: You know, the policies and procedures that exist in American 77 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 6: law enforcement agencies across this country at the state and 78 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 6: local level are so ingrained in their officers that listening to, 79 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 6: you know, a propaganda speech by Stephen Miller is not 80 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 6: going to change the way that those officers, for the 81 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 6: for the most part, conduct their business. What I do 82 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 6: worry about is that this is a advertisement or a 83 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 6: promotional video for new hires, people that are coming into 84 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 6: the career of law enforcement under this administration, who see 85 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 6: the brutality, who see the stage sponsored violence and are 86 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 6: attracted to that and hear things like you are you know, 87 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 6: take the gloves off when they spit, we hit and 88 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 6: you know you are unleashed. That's what concerns me is 89 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 6: the future of law enforcement in this country and want 90 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 6: you know who is going to be attracted to that profession. 91 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 8: This is clearly unconstitutional, but there's a larger white supremacy 92 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 8: issue that's at play here that gets lost in these 93 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 8: constitutional details. We used to think a lot. I remember 94 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 8: talking with you about constitutional crisis. 95 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,119 Speaker 2: When is that going to happen? 96 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 8: But we're actually dealing with a constitutional capitulation with this, 97 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 8: with this Supreme Court, they're allowing these completely racist, unconstitutional 98 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 8: practices to be able to move forward. 99 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 9: We wrote about this at this time because it was 100 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 9: just a falsehood, but literally in August of twenty twenty two, 101 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 9: he went down to Florida and spoke at a Heritage 102 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 9: Foundation event and said, you guys are going to be 103 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 9: the ones writing the conservative foundation for a second Trump administration. 104 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: Those are the words of Donald Trump. 105 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 9: And then Keev the Heritage Foundation along with the Center 106 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 9: for Renewing America, which is the RUSS Vote started group 107 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 9: who he worked at that organization. We should note with 108 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 9: Jeffrey Clark, who, as folks may remember, was the co 109 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 9: defendant of Donald Trump in the effort to overturn the 110 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 9: twenty twenty election, those who were working at that organization 111 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 9: with others to build Project twenty twenty five. 112 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: And it was him that wrote down that quote. 113 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 9: Many agencies are not only too big and powerful, but 114 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 9: also increasingly weaponized against the public. And I think that 115 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 9: Simone was making this point very very clearly, that this 116 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 9: is the moment that these guys have been working forward 117 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 9: to have the power. I don't know how concerned they 118 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 9: are about the midterm elections of November of twenty twenty six, 119 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 9: because this is the moment that this conservative movement, the 120 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 9: MAGA movement, led by people like Russ Vote and the 121 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 9: Heritage Foundation, have been waiting for them. They got their 122 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 9: majorities in the House, in the Senate, they got their 123 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 9: man in the White House. They got their own b director, 124 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 9: Russ Vote, who is willing to challenge legally what is 125 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 9: constitutionally stipulated that it's co Congress that controls the power 126 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 9: of the purse. They found their moments, and they're going 127 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 9: to do whatever it takes. Really sort of consequences be 128 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 9: damned here, because this is the moment that they can 129 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 9: change the American government for the way that they believe 130 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 9: it should be right. 131 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: This is the primal scream of a dying regie. 132 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 7: Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on 133 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 7: these people. 134 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: I've not got a free shot. 135 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 7: All these networks lying about the people, the people have 136 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 7: had a belly full of it. 137 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 2: I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've 138 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: tried to do everything in the world to stop there, 139 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,679 Speaker 2: but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. 140 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 2: And where do people like that go to share the 141 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: big line? Mega media? 142 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 8: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 143 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 8: these people ask. 144 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: Yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? 145 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: If that answer is to save my country, this country 146 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 2: will be the saved war Room. Here's your host, Stephen 147 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: k Ba. 148 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,679 Speaker 7: Friday, three October in the Year of the Lord twenty 149 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 7: twenty five. If you remember those years in the wilderness, 150 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 7: the years of twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, when 151 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 7: we would have Russ Fode or Mark Paaletta or Jeff 152 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 7: Clark on the show Mike Davis the vice Hory, when 153 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 7: the building blocks of Project twenty twenty five were being 154 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 7: put together, it was discussed about the article two powers 155 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 7: inheriting the presidency. Remember, the whole theory of the case 156 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 7: is that he has these powers as chief executive officer 157 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 7: of the United States Government, and that includes firing people 158 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 7: and includes also impounding money, rescinding money. Number two, as 159 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 7: commander in chief, he has tremendous powers, untapped powers as 160 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 7: commander in chief to impel invasions and to protect the 161 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 7: national security of the United States of America, her sovereignty, 162 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 7: her territorial integrity, and the citizens thereof. And then, last, 163 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 7: but not least, of course, what has been kind of 164 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 7: hived off since Watergate and the great Jeff Shepherd's analysis 165 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 7: of Watergate being really the first instance of lawfare to 166 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 7: drive Nixon from office and having the Rhino Republicans basically 167 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 7: fold and allow him to be drawn driven from office 168 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 7: with lawfare, is that the President of the United States is 169 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 7: the chief law enforcement officer and the chief magistrate of 170 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 7: the United States government. This is what we've talked about, 171 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 7: these Article two powers or the theory of the unified executive. 172 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 7: The unified executive. Now you've had also Russ vote all 173 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 7: this the working analysis on deconstructing the administrative state over years, 174 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 7: embodying a Project twenty twenty five, which is nine hundred 175 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 7: pages long, and we've gone through and gone through elements 176 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 7: of it many many times. 177 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: In the process of events let's call it history. 178 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 7: You have teachable moments, and then you have something called 179 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 7: a leverageable moment. 180 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 2: This is not a teaching moment. This is a leverageable moment. 181 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 7: This is where everything concentrates of years and years of 182 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 7: work and you have an actual moment that you can 183 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 7: do things that can't be reversed. It can have a 184 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 7: long term impact. Remember conservatives, and the reason we'll call 185 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 7: it conservatives is that they've been so effeckless and hapless 186 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 7: to actually making things happen for years and years and years. 187 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 7: You've heard nothing, and you've supported and you've given money, 188 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 7: and you've worked. You've knocked on doors of people that 189 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 7: wanted to limit government and said government's too big, and 190 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 7: government's of Leviathan. Yet in every Republican administration just gets 191 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 7: bigger and bigger and bigger. And now we're in a 192 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 7: crisis where you're having two traeon dollar deficits every year 193 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 7: and the reason is you're spending seven to seven and 194 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 7: a half tree and dollars and you're taking in five trade, 195 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 7: five and a half trade, and maybe more because of 196 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 7: tariffs now. 197 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: But there's a gap. 198 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 7: The way to do this is you've got to take 199 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 7: leviath than apart. Two ways you're taking apart is programmatically right, 200 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 7: programmatically by stopping programs in the Pentagon, are stopping programs 201 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 7: on social welfare, are stopping programs in corporate welfare that 202 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 7: actually drive the cost down. But also personnel. And one 203 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 7: thing you know about personnel, it's not just the direct 204 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 7: cost of personnel, what you're paying them in the retirement 205 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 7: all that, but it's also the costs associated with them 206 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 7: just doing more. 207 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: Things right, which is what we don't want. 208 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 7: The MAGA movement are not anarchists, were not extreme libertarians. 209 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 7: We know there needs to be some aspect or part 210 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 7: of an apparatus of regulatory state, particularly in things like antitrust, 211 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 7: to kind of stave off a growing concentration of corporate 212 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 7: and government power. But at the end of the day, 213 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 7: it's about the deconstruction administrative state and getting at everybody's 214 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 7: business and basically thwarting your ability to thrive and have freedom. 215 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 7: Simone there used the example of President Wilson in World 216 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 7: War One, it's a great example. But Simon, you're making 217 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 7: our point. President Wilson was a globalist, lied to the 218 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 7: American people about getting into World War One, about what 219 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 7: his intentions were, and then didn't want to brook any dissension, 220 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 7: didn't want to break any dissension from people who kind 221 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 7: of were the beginning of the American first month and said, well, 222 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 7: hang on, why are we sending troops over to basically 223 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 7: save these monarchies? Why are we getting involved in European wars. 224 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 7: Many of the arguments today about Ukraine, about why we 225 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 7: shouldn't have zero to do with Ukraine. The people in 226 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 7: the streets, we're trying to try to make those comments. 227 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 7: And of course the beginning of the jack booted administrative 228 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 7: state was under Woodrow Wilson, the most progressive president I think, 229 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 7: even more progressive in some. 230 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: Aspects than FDR. 231 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 7: So Simone, thank you for making the point, but you're 232 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 7: making our point. Okay. There's two great pieces today to 233 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 7: talk about what this is really about with this whole effort, 234 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 7: because on TV and on the fire you're just hearing, oh, 235 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 7: it's on this and this. No, this is no doubt 236 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 7: a concentration of power in the executive It's one of 237 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 7: the things we've been working for. 238 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: It's one of the things we've been pushing the envelope for. 239 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 7: And Axios has done an amazing job of kind of 240 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 7: putting that together of everything that President Trump's been working on, 241 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 7: everything we've been talking about on the show for the 242 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 7: last couple of months in that. And so Mark Caputo 243 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 7: is going to join us after the break to walk 244 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 7: us through that. And remember, Axios is kind of the 245 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 7: conventional wisdom of Washington, d C. If you go to Access, 246 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 7: you're kind of seeing the inside brain of how the 247 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 7: apparatus thinks and they're saying. 248 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: Whoa, look at this. This is what's really about. 249 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 7: The President Trump is concentrating power more than any president 250 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 7: in the history of the United States, and he's doing 251 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 7: it systematically. It's not just about personnel, but he's actually 252 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 7: getting to the heart of the beast. And remember, if 253 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 7: we are able to pull this off now, in this moment, 254 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 7: this leverageable moment, it can't be reversed. 255 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 2: It's going to be very tough to be reversed. The 256 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 2: smart people in Washington, d C. 257 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 7: Know that, and they know that Democrats walked into a 258 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 7: tremendous trap, the effectless, hapless Hakeem Jeffreys and Chuck Schumer 259 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 7: have essentially walked into it, and now it's time to 260 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 7: close the trap. Alistair Grass has got an amazing analysis 261 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 7: that someone's put up about the real cost of the 262 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 7: illegal There's not about illegal alien medicare, It's not about 263 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 7: illegal paying for their thing. 264 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 2: It absolutely is. This is what they decided to shut 265 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 2: the government it down. We're going to show you some 266 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: startling math. 267 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 7: That cuts the legs out from the Democrats the radicals. 268 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 7: It is a unique moment in history that years and 269 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 7: years and years in the making. 270 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: A lot of people talked about it. 271 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 7: This is why Rush russ vote in the team at 272 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 7: cr that led up to this, and doctor Kevin Roberts 273 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 7: and the team at Heritage, and Steven Miller's group and 274 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 7: brookesh Rollins group and Mark Meadows and Senator dementt CPI, 275 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 7: all of these groups working in the years in the 276 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 7: wilderness to put this plan together to understand that Trump 277 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 7: could win the primary, come back and win the presidency 278 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 7: and then execute on this uniquely in American history. Days 279 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 7: of Thunder are with us, ladies and gentlemen, and we're 280 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 7: going to walk through how Washington d C. Looks at it, 281 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 7: and then some of the math and back of everything. 282 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 7: Short commercial break. We're going to be back with MARKA 283 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 7: Pudo of Axios. 284 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 2: Just a moment
