He discussed dealing with 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: Iran in the region, as well as securing hundreds of 17 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: billions of dollars in investments from the Saudis into the 18 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: United States, were already had eight trillion dollars of new investment, 19 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: add six hundred billion more to Atain. Speaking of that, 20 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of economic news lately, not the 21 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: news you were told to expect a month ago from 22 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: the Legacy media member. They told this guy was falling, 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: the market was collapsing. Well, the market is back in 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: positive territory for the year, inflation came in at two 25 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 1: point three percent. He put that six hundred billion dollars 26 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: in new revenue that's going to come in from Saudi Arabia. 27 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: The economy is just fine. Just like we told you 28 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: on this network. Don't panic. Played the long game on 29 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: this strategy. Also today, President Trump spoke about the war 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: between Israel a Maas and signals some policy shifts in 31 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: the region. Perhaps the biggest piece of news today, he 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: said that he's going to lift the sanctions temporarily against Syria, 33 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: a country that used to be ruled by a brutal 34 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: dictator named Asad but now is under a provisional government. 35 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: He said he wanted to give a chance for that 36 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: country to have a shot at peace. Some of the 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: big deals all throughout the region that President Trump will 38 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: be doing. He also made clear I take a detour 39 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: over to Turkey some point during this trip to see 40 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: if he can help in the Russia Ukraine conversations which 41 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: begin on the fifteenth and by the way, Marco Rubio 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: named he is going He'll be their day in and 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: day out, as those Ukraine Russia peace talks get off 44 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: to their first start and finally some impacts. Something we 45 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: promised we would follow for you from the moment we. 46 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: Broke the story. 47 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: Remember the memory we gave you just about a week ago, 48 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: saying that Joe Biden's White House, I told the national 49 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: security community, the FBI, Homeland you can target Americans even 50 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: if they're not involved in crimes. In fact, if you're 51 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: just concerned about non criminal behavior they're in, you can 52 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: start to. 53 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: Go after him. 54 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: That was a major weakening of civil liberty protections, a 55 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: major change to the standard that the FBI has used 56 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: for decades, which is you must have a predicate, meaning 57 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: a reasonable factual basis at a crime occurred, before you 58 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: can open up on an American. 59 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: Not for Joe Biden. 60 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: That's why he went after Catholics and gun enthusiasts and 61 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: parents who read school boards. But perhaps the most important 62 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: thing happened last night the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsea 63 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: Gabbert telling Justin is that it has withdrawn that guidance. 64 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: It is no longer operative. 65 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: No federal agency or agent should use it, and in fact, 66 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: she went a little bit further, saying, it is very 67 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: clear that this domestic policy, domestic terrorism policy that Joe 68 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: Biden came out was nothing more than a political effort 69 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: to silence critics, and it was absolutely, in her words, an. 70 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: Abuse of power. 71 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: To think about that, the head top intelligence official saying 72 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: that the terrorism counter terrorism, domestic counterterrorism policies of Joe 73 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: Biden were an abuse of power targeting your civil liberties. 74 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: That's some of the news we've had breaking over our 75 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: justinies dot com, my Amazing Coast and mata head. She's 76 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: been crackling all day with big news on this trip. 77 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: What else you got on your radar, Amanda, Yes. 78 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: Indeed, you will actually want to touch on a story 79 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: that we talked about yesterday. The Trump administration, of course 80 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: letting white South Africans into this country as refugees, and 81 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: the administration's position is that the government of South Africa 82 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: is passing racist laws targeting whites, especially white farmers. But 83 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 3: President Trump has insisted that the move isn't about race 84 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: at all. So I don't want to necessarily talk about 85 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 3: the merits of letting those South African refugees or afrikaaners 86 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: as they are also known into this country. By the way, 87 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: it was only around fifty people, and there are arguments 88 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: to be made on both sides of the issue, for example, 89 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 3: saying these South Africans are refugees while also saying Ukrainians 90 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: are not. So there's some legitimate debate to be had here. 91 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 3: But what I really want to focus on was the 92 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 3: less reaction to it, because it's been blowing up online 93 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 3: and because they have been all for letting millions upon 94 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 3: millions of unvetted legal immigrants into this country from Central 95 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 3: and South America, the Middle East, other parts of Africa. 96 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: But when it comes to forty nine white South Africans, 97 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 3: there is now a huge issue. Take a look at 98 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 3: what MSNBC had to say about it. 99 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 4: Yes, so deeply and morally wrongheaded and repulsive. 100 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 5: These are the descendants. 101 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 4: Of the people who created the most diabolical system of 102 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 4: white supremacy in human history, apartheid. They're not directly responsible 103 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 4: for it in a country where, by the way, white 104 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 4: people make up seven percent of the population and own 105 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 4: seventy eight percent of the farmland. So it's actually there's 106 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 4: no injustice here. As you mentioned, it's taking places away 107 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 4: from refugees who are really being crushed by authoritarian governments 108 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 4: and military governments for these folks who have never had 109 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 4: anything happen to them. 110 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: And they went on to explain that this was proof 111 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 3: that the Trump administration is a quote white nationalist project. 112 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 3: And again, this is all over about fifty South Africans 113 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 3: coming to the United States as refugees. Just The News 114 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 3: also reported yesterday, and we briefly mentioned it on the 115 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 3: show last night, that the Episcopal Church ended its refugee 116 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 3: program with the United States government because of the Africanners' arrival. 117 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 3: John maybe if Trump had taken a page out of 118 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: Joe Biden's book and flown these people in the dead 119 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 3: of the night and dropped them into various cities in 120 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 3: the interior of this country, there wouldn't have been a 121 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: worried about it. 122 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 123 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: Maybe, Actually, listen, every time there's good economic news and 124 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: the Democrats have no response to what's going on in 125 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: the world, they go back to identity politics, right, they 126 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: try to create racial strife. By the way, if the 127 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: President Trump's administration is the white supremacist project, someone should 128 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: tell all the Hispanic and black voters who supported him 129 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: in record numbers for a Republican. I guess they were 130 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: misled or MSNBC was missled. We'll see, all right. We're 131 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: very lucky to be joined at the Tapa Show by 132 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: a man on the front lines of some of the 133 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: most historical events. 134 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 2: Going on in Congress right now. 135 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: He is a congressman for the great state of Michigan 136 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,239 Speaker 1: and possibly considering a run for Senate in that estate. 137 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: Big set up for grabs in twenty twenty six, Congressman 138 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: Bill isn't good. 139 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: Congressman. Good to have you on, Sir. 140 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 6: Joh I'm going to be with you.

Telsey Gabbert, 144 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: pulling back this guidance, had said under the name of 145 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: domestic fighting domestic terrorism, Joe Biden told the FBA, you 146 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: can investigate someone even if they got involved in criminal conduct. 147 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 2: To just concerning do you go ahead and open up 148 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: on him? She said it was an abusive power. 149 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: Let me just get your reaction to what she did yesterday. 150 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 7: She was exactly dead on, and your analysis is absolutely correct. 151 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 7: You know, we saw the Biden administration weaponize virtually every 152 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 7: element of government and including the FBI, the IRS, the EPA, 153 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 7: you name it. The list goes on and on, and 154 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 7: this is something that has to happen. You know, my 155 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 7: subcommittee that I chair on Foreign Affairs has been dealing 156 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 7: with the State Department, and you might remember the fake 157 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 7: Info or czarena. I guess really is what she was 158 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 7: out there. Supposedly this was a program that was supposed 159 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 7: to look at foreign disinformation, and yet what did they do? 160 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 7: They actually took this program and turned it internal and 161 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 7: made it a domestic misinformation by their definition of course, 162 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 7: and went after those US citizens. 163 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 6: So we've seen this as a pattern. 164 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 7: So I applied what Telsea Gabbard, my former colleague, is doing, 165 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 7: and what frankly, what the Trump administration is doing with this. 166 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: And so you deserve a lot of credit because you 167 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: really have done a lot to highlight what the Global 168 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: Engagement Center now closed, what was doing at the State Department. 169 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: Really great congressional oversight work that's made a difference on this. 170 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 8: Congrats absolutely, sir. 171 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 3: It is kind of I think in the Democrat wheelhouse 172 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: to find crimes that were not there at least during 173 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: that Biden administration with that policy and finding bad news 174 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: where there is none, and they are very concerned about 175 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 3: what has happened this morning, President Trump possibly trading on 176 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 3: his name, of course no mention of the Biden family 177 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 3: trading on that name. But President Trump's securing six hundred 178 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: billion dollars worth of investment on the way to another trillion, 179 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 3: which would take us to what nine trillion? 180 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: I'm trying to think's the number? 181 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, sir, how much is this going to help the 182 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 3: American economy and kind of hand in hand help you 183 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,479 Speaker 3: guys in passing new budget infrastructure. 184 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 7: Well, look, economic activity is the key. Economic activity is 185 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 7: what will drive our recovery. Having foreign investment is a 186 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 7: key part of the goals of tariffs and the pressure 187 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 7: that the Trump administration has been by the way, not 188 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 7: just talking about, has been implementing. 189 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 6: And you know, I applaud them for this. 190 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 7: I mean six hundred billion dollars out of the Saudist 191 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 7: you add that, you know, the Swiss have come in 192 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 7: with one hundred and fifty billion dollars of additional investment. 193 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 6: They've at least proposed that. 194 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 7: You've got India, You've got other countries that are coming 195 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 7: to the table and Great Britain, who has been a 196 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 7: great ally and trading partner in the past. We're really 197 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 7: putting the where the rubber hits the road from Michigan. 198 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 6: So we have to use car analogies of course. 199 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 7: So but this is this is where the rubber hits 200 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 7: the road and where the action is and we ought 201 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 7: to be applauding this. And it's not just in you know, 202 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 7: traditional manufacturing. We're talking AI, We are talking in all 203 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 7: these other areas that our growth potential here in the 204 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 7: United States and rather those than those going somewhere else overseas, 205 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 7: they're going to be here in the United States. And 206 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 7: what's amazing is, you know, they simply couldn't celebrate any 207 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 7: positive news on from the left, and you know, and 208 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 7: obviously it adds insult to injury for them that it's 209 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 7: President Trump who's actually driving. 210 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 6: This economic activity. But we've got to do this. 211 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 7: We've got to to pull the economy out of the 212 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 7: ditch where Joe Biden left it and and Donald Trump's 213 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 7: doing that. 214 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, soir, I know, one of the big prizes of 215 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty sixth election, the Michigan Senate see opened 216 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people excited about it. A lot of 217 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: excitement about the possibility that you might jump and put 218 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: your hat into this race. That's a really big moment. 219 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: Tell us what's going on? Are you interested in running 220 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: for cent potentially? 221 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 6: Yeah? 222 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: I am. 223 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 7: You know this was this was not necessarily on my 224 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 7: radar screen when I was started this certainly. I mean 225 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 7: in the House of Representatives that you know, the House 226 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 7: of Words, the Star Chamber, sometimes called the Senate. It's 227 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 7: a confusing place. It's very different. But here's why I 228 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 7: am responding to the phone calls that I'm getting. Because 229 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 7: we know that President Trump needs allies in pushing forward 230 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 7: not his agenda, America's agenda, right, and this is our agenda, 231 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 7: and it's an agenda that he is the leader of, 232 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 7: and he needs those allies in the Senate. We need 233 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 7: to make sure that we maintain the majority in the House. 234 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 7: We can do both if we do our jobs, if 235 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 7: we get tax the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reinstated, 236 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 7: and making sure that those middle income and lower income 237 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 7: families who have saw real tax relief that it's maintained. 238 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 7: Making sure that we get the whole budget reconciliation process 239 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 7: put in place, making sure that we have common sense 240 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 7: energy policy and common sense regulatory policy, so that manufacturing 241 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 7: cannot just battle back against the government all the time, 242 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 7: but it can go and throw life. 243 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 6: And certainly, as we're seeing with. 244 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 7: The tariffs and the thread of tariffs, we've got a 245 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 7: lot of those companies, American made, American originated companies that 246 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 7: are making things overseas wanting to come back home, and 247 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 7: we need to encourage that. 248 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: Well, one of those Honda bringing manufacturing here from Canada. 249 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: You know, a month ago we were hearing that these 250 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 3: tariffs were going to destroy our economy. But we've got 251 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 3: a lot of good news. Egg prices are down. The 252 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 3: inflation report for April was the third straight month that 253 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 3: it was below expectations. Things are doing really well well 254 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 3: with respect to the tariffs. How has that impacted Michigan. 255 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 7: Well, certainly the automotive industry is on the front lines 256 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 7: of that. Under NAFTA slash USMCA, which, by the way, 257 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 7: this is another one of those examples. When Bill Clinton 258 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 7: signed the NAFTA into law, immediately he was calling for changes. 259 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 7: Every single president after him fledged that they were going 260 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 7: to make some vital changes to NAFTA. 261 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 6: There's one person who did it. 262 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 7: And he was laughed at by the way when he 263 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 7: said he was going to do it. But the USMCA 264 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 7: was an improvement on that, and in that we saw 265 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 7: both agriculture and automotive manufacturing things like that that really 266 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 7: had built a cross border presence. We need to make 267 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 7: sure that we have an on ramp or an off ramp. 268 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 7: I guess I'm back to my Michigan car analogies here, 269 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,359 Speaker 7: but we need to make sure that there's a transition 270 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 7: that's able to happen because those companies are wanting to 271 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 7: come back to the United States and we've got to 272 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 7: figure out that path forward. What does that look like. 273 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 7: Secretary Besant and his team have been doing a phenomenal job. 274 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 7: He testified in front of our Financial Services Committee that 275 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 7: I'm the vice chair of earlier, I guess end of 276 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 7: last week before he went off to Geneva and was 277 00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 7: negotiating with the Chinese and others. He's he's really got 278 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 7: a solid understanding of what needs to happen here. He's 279 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 7: following the President Trump's objectives and his directives, but he's 280 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 7: also forcing people to come to the table and have 281 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 7: those serious, hard conversations, and you know, I applaud him, 282 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 7: I applaud the team and certainly the leadership of President Trump. 283 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 7: But you know, we have to go through a little 284 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 7: bit of pain here. It's a little bumpy, there, have 285 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 7: no doubt, but I believe, I truly believe that in 286 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 7: the long run, this will be good for American workers, 287 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 7: which should be our key goal here. It'll be good 288 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 7: for American consumers, and it will be good for America 289 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 7: writ large. And if there's a silver lining to COVID, 290 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 7: and there's very few, one of them maybe being parents 291 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 7: actually plugging in and figuring out. 292 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 6: What their kids are being taught in school. 293 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 7: But the other is the what was revealed and stripped 294 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 7: back was how overly dependent we were on our economic adversaries. 295 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 7: I won't call him enemies, but certainly adversaries who controlled 296 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 7: everything from paper masks too, to medical equipment, to pharmaceuticals 297 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 7: to manufacturing, and they literally had the ability to turn 298 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 7: it on or turn it off. And that that really, 299 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 7: I think underscored for a lot of us here and 300 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 7: in America that. 301 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 6: We need to pull some of this back. 302 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 7: We need to make sure that we can be masters 303 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 7: of our own destiny and not not be overly dependent 304 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 7: on uh, these these adversaries overseas. 305 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you've been working hard in Congress to 306 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: make sure that those next generational policies that bring bring 307 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: the bacon back home, bring that capability back home, come 308 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: across the come across the back into this country, particularly 309 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: in Michigan. Congressman Bill Heisinger, what a great honor to 310 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: have you on the show today. 311 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 7: Thanks for joining us, Hey, John, Amanda, great being with you, 312 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 7: and let's let's go. 313 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 6: Let's go make America great again. 314 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: Right, absolutely, that's an important mission, no doubt about it. 315 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: Good to have you on. 316 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: So all right, pot it's a quick commercial bank when 317 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: we come back. Will we tap President Trump's trip to 318 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: Saudi Rabi? You say a lot of news. What does 319 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: it mean for trade and national security? Will answer those 320 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: questions next right after these messages. Hey, it's a new 321 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: day in America and a new administration in Washington, DC. 322 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: There is a lot of excitement and optimism about the future, 323 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: but the reality is there's a lot of work to 324 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: do as well, especially when it comes to fixing our 325 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: broken healthcare system. The truth is that the forces that 326 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: are responsible for breaking our healthcare system aren't going to 327 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: simply go away.

President Trump was welcomed in beautiful Riad, 348 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia earlier this morning, where he spoke with Crown 349 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 3: Prince Mohammed Ben Salmon and other Saudi officials about issues 350 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 3: of trade, ending wars between Hamas and Israel. It's going 351 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 3: to be a pivotal trip, especially because we are getting 352 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 3: some reports that there's some tension between Washington and Jerusalem 353 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 3: in recent weeks, and the recent talks could put to 354 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 3: pressure on other countries to come to the table and 355 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 3: make a deal with the United States, like China, who 356 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 3: has struck a temporary trade deal the Trump administration already, 357 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 3: so joining us now to talk about all of that 358 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 3: and even more if we can squeeze it. In a 359 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 3: senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, he's also a 360 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 3: twenty six year Navy veteran who served as a military 361 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 3: diplomat in China, as well as a whole host of 362 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 3: other positions. Brent Sadler, Brent, thanks so much for being 363 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 3: here tonight. 364 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 8: Thanks for having me. 365 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 3: I want to start with a very stark contrast between 366 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 3: President Trump's reception in Saudi Arabia compared to Joe Biden. 367 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 3: Joe Biden is someone who the Democrats like to say 368 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 3: had decades of foreign policy experience a statesman, and President 369 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 3: Trump was a rabble rouser came from the outside, a 370 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 3: businessman who doesn't know anything about foreign policy, and yet 371 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 3: the Saudi Crown Prince seemed to have an even warmer 372 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 3: reception for President Trump than Biden. 373 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 8: Would you agree, absolutely? 374 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 9: And I mean it's an excusable someone like President Biden 375 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 9: to miss being a good diplomat. He was extremely horrible. 376 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 9: And Trump had a lot of affinity with the Crown 377 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 9: Prince even in his first term, and he's just continuing 378 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 9: to double down on that. The Saudis are very and 379 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 9: I think the regions so his other stops in gutter 380 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 9: as well as the UAE. 381 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 8: I think you'll see similar reaction. 382 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 9: But on Biden's first trip, he ridiculed and insulted the 383 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 9: Crown Prince to the king in front of him. 384 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 8: And I think that loss of face meant. 385 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 9: That the Biden administration, no matter how hard they would 386 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 9: have tried, or as much as Saudi Raby would have benefited, 387 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 9: there was only going to be so far that we 388 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 9: could have actually taken things forward. 389 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 8: That all is behind us now, thankfully. 390 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. So I'm always interested, Brent. 391 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: When you look at the Middle East, it's always been 392 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: a teeter totter sometimes it tilts towards Iron, sometimes it 393 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: tilts towards Israel and the Arab golf states. President Trump 394 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: inherited a Middle East in seventeen that was really to 395 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: the advantage of Iran, strengthened nuclear deal that gave him 396 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: lots of cash, and over the last eight years he's 397 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: slowly been able to move that seesaw back to at 398 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: least break even status. And now with Syria out of 399 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: Iran's sphere of influence and maybe another round of Abraham Accords, 400 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: the opportunity that there could be an American Israeli Arab 401 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: alliance that is really able to counter Iran seems very 402 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: reasonable and very realistic. Tell us obviously the strategy's intention. 403 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: But how far are we on this process? And what 404 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: is happening to Iran? Is it losing its negotiating bargaining chips. 405 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 9: Well, Iran is definitely on its back foot, but it's 406 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 9: not out of the fight. 407 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 8: And I think that's a caution. If we in DC. 408 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 9: Declare the Trump administration declares victory too soon, take and 409 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 9: relieve the pressure on the Iranian regime, we could find 410 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 9: that they recover themselves and we're right back to where 411 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 9: we were a year ago or October sixth of twenty 412 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 9: twenty three, day before the horrific assault against Israel by Hamas, 413 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 9: Iran's proxy. So the pressure needs to be continued. Iran 414 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 9: has to capitulate on its nuclear program, and then, as 415 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 9: President Trump mentioned earlier today in Saudi Arabia, that we 416 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 9: can turn the page to a more positive and more 417 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 9: prosperous future and peaceful across the region. But key in 418 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 9: applying that pressure is going to be Saudi Arabia and 419 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 9: a new relationship that I think it's been staid before. 420 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 9: The Saudis are looking for security assurances because of fears 421 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 9: of Iran, but also access to nuclear power as they 422 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 9: try to modernize and diversify up the value chain their 423 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 9: own economy and their. 424 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 8: Own energy sector. 425 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 9: And I think the Abraham Accords will be a key 426 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,719 Speaker 9: venue to which to solidify this with a wider regional peace. 427 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 9: So it really relies on the threat perception of Iran 428 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 9: that all of these countries feel, and then continuing the 429 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 9: pressure to get to a better place. We're still far 430 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 9: away from that, but we're far further to success than 431 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 9: we've been in living memory. 432 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 3: Great point, and there was another assurance that President Trump 433 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 3: very pointedly offered from the stage this morning when he 434 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 3: talked about nation building to the degree that Saudi Arabia 435 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 3: will absolutely be key in resolving the issues with Aaron. 436 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 3: How much of an impact do you think it had 437 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 3: on the Crown Prince that President Trump said, look, you know, 438 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 3: you guys have performed a miracle the Arabian way. We're 439 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 3: not here to bring the West to you. You're doing 440 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 3: a great job. How much do you think that impacted 441 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 3: and endeared the Crown Prince to President Trump and negotiations 442 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 3: with the run. 443 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 9: Well, I think the communication between President Trump and the 444 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 9: Crown Prince, I think it was no surprise. But if 445 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 9: you looked at the reaction of the room to that, 446 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 9: it was, you know, very aesthatic. They were very happy 447 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 9: to hear it, and it's not something that world leaders 448 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 9: are used to hearing from a sitting US president. 449 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 8: So it definitely symbolizes. 450 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 9: As a changed approach that you're seeing in President Trump, 451 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 9: to embrace our partners for what they are and what 452 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 9: they can offer, and not trying to force an American 453 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 9: solution through them. 454 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 8: It's a very different approach. 455 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 9: It's I think a reality of the world that we 456 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 9: live in quite frankly, it's always been the path to success, 457 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 9: and it's good to see that our president's embracing it 458 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 9: and that our partners are also seeing the opportunity for 459 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 9: what it is to partner with us. 460 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 461 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: Great, great point brand you've always been, I think a 462 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: really important sign for all of us about the problems 463 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: that the Pentagon still has with basic things like procurement. 464 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: And there was some really disturbing testimony this week in 465 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: the sent about our exhausting of significant missile supplies. It 466 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: seems like America's great war fighting machine should be able 467 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: to keep up, but apparently a little skirmish with the 468 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: hoodies have left us short on really important missiles. What 469 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: do you see there and what are some of the 470 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: warning signs that we need to fix? 471 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 9: Yeah, this issue of munitions and munitions production is not 472 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 9: something new to me. Goes back over ten years when 473 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 9: I was at Pacific Command now into Pacific Command, and 474 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 9: it was General Mattis when he became Secretary Defense Mattis 475 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 9: during Trump's first term. He classified all the discussions, so 476 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 9: the public has been kind of obscured from understanding how 477 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 9: bad it is. 478 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 8: But it's only gotten marginally better. 479 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 9: And I think we saw that with the artillery problem 480 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 9: with the one to fifty five rounds that we couldn't 481 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 9: produce fast enough to supply to Ukraine. And then we 482 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 9: saw the wake up call off of Israel when we 483 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 9: defended against an Iranian attack ballistic missiles that we expended 484 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 9: within a minute, the amount of missiles that it takes 485 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 9: a month to produce on one engagement. If it's a 486 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 9: fight in the Pacific, there's going to be dozens of 487 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 9: those types of engagements on a daily basis in the 488 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 9: opening phases of that war. 489 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 8: So if this is taken as a wake up call. 490 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 9: And it appears that Congress, at least for money, has 491 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 9: gotten the message, it's a different thing to get the 492 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 9: industrial night behind that. Again, what's frustrating is this has 493 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 9: been a problem brewing for ten years and we need 494 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 9: to be making hundreds of these missiles like SM three's, 495 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 9: SM two's, just to mention some of the top ones 496 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 9: that get a lot of play. We're only able to 497 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 9: make like a dozen of those in a year. We 498 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 9: need to be making hundreds, Brent. 499 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 3: President Trump has indicated in the past that he would 500 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 3: be open to lift those sanctions on Syria. He officially 501 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 3: announced that this morning. He indicated that there obviously was 502 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 3: a reason for those sanctions in the first place. They 503 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 3: serve their purpose, but now Syria deserves to have a 504 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 3: chance at greatness and a chance at peace. What does 505 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 3: that mean for the United States? 506 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 9: Well, I think removing the sanctions on Syria with a 507 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 9: new regime with potential, you know, there's some grounds to 508 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 9: be optimistic. There's a lot to be very concerned with, 509 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 9: especially with the way that Christians in Syria are being 510 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 9: treated right now. But that being said, there's very little 511 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 9: to lose at this stage to offer relief in sanctions 512 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 9: on this new regime in Syria, and then those can 513 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 9: be put back on if things change. There's a lot 514 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 9: other potential to move that regime in a more positive 515 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 9: direction at this stage. So I see it as an opportunity. 516 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 9: But again we have to be cautious and hold this 517 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 9: new regime to their word. 518 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 6: Brent, before we let you go. 519 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 3: How soon do you think President Trump would be proven 520 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 3: right or proven wrong onlifting those sanctions. 521 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 8: I think it'll be fairly quick. 522 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 9: I mean the fact a leader of the city in 523 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 9: the new regime in Damascus I think was in Saudi. 524 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 8: Arabia or his plant. 525 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 9: It will be in the area as President Trumpet's traveling. 526 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 9: Whether or not a meeting occurs is not something that 527 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 9: I've heard. But again, if a deal can be made, 528 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 9: and if the regime is able to deliver on it, 529 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 9: we'll know within weeks, if not days, if they're able 530 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 9: to enforce that with their product, with their military forces 531 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 9: throughout the region. 532 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 8: Again, it is a tenuous piece. It's in Syria. It's 533 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 8: not quite out of its civil war yet. 534 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 3: Right, Great, there's a deal to be made. The dealmaker 535 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 3: and chief, I think, is intent on getting it done. 536 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 3: Brent Saler from the Great Heritage Foundation, thanks so much 537 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 3: for being here. Bred Thanks all right, everybody. Tariffs are 538 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 3: driving Honda to move their SUV production from the Great 539 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 3: White North back down here to the United States. So 540 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 3: what other effects from the tariffs are we seeing in 541 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 3: this country? Quite a few of that's next. 542 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 2: Hey, America. 543 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: For decades, you've worked hard, paid your taxes, and stood 544 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: by the values that built this great nation, honesty, accountability, 545 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: and of course faith. But now you're seeing a government 546 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: that's bloated, reckless, and in many cases completely unaccountable. The 547 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: good news you're not imagining it, and you're not alone. 548 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: President Trump is back in the White House, taking on 549 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: unfair trade practices, fighting waste and fraud, and boldly reaffirming 550 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: our Christian foundations. But even the strongest leaders need support 551 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: from the people.

A month later, the 563 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: economy's doing really well. The market is fully back, and 564 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: we're getting deals and we're getting new investments in America. 565 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: I think the predictions might have been wrong, but I 566 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: thought we turned to one of our trusted experts. He's 567 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: the co host of the Thrive Time radio show. He's 568 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: a contributed for Entrepreneur magazine, and he just had Eric 569 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: Trump speak at one of his recent business workshops. He's 570 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: our good friend, Clay Clark. Clay, welcome back. 571 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 5: Hey, I really do appreciate you for allowing me to 572 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 5: be here with you. Both of you tonight. 573 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: Well, we love having you on. You understand the way 574 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: entrepreneurs think. And Donald Trump is really he's a deal maker. 575 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: He's a deal maker that's always trying to get entrepreneurialism 576 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: going in America. A month into the tariffs, I think 577 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: the worst dire predictions the economy is going to blow up, 578 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: stock market is going to end, We're all going to 579 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: hell in a hand basket. They don't seem to materialize. 580 00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: In fact, just the opposite. 581 00:28:59,280 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 3: Right. 582 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 5: Well, I'll say this, President Trump was in the Middle 583 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 5: East today. Meanwhile I'm in the middle eastern part of 584 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 5: Oklahoma right now, and Eric Trump will be joining us 585 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 5: at one of our workshops coming up soon. So I 586 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 5: deal with real businesses. I mean doctors, dentists, lawyers, mortgage companies, homebuilders, 587 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 5: And all I can say is, since President Donald J. 588 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 5: Trump has boldly implemented these tariffs. I'm seeing more and 589 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 5: more American business owners have an excitement about the future 590 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 5: of the American economy. You say, well, how does the 591 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 5: excitement matter. Why does it matter? Well, small business owners 592 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 5: aren't going to buy things, They're not going to invest, 593 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 5: they're not going to hire when they believe that the 594 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 5: economy is going to fall apart. And many entrepreneurs are 595 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 5: telling me they're seeing more and more people reach out 596 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 5: to inquire about getting a mortgage. More and more people 597 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 5: are reaching out to I know it sounds crazy, go 598 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 5: out to dinner. More and more people are excited about 599 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 5: the future of American I think President Trump has brought 600 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 5: that enthusiasm back, but on a very specific and measurable level. 601 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 5: By imposing these tariffs. He's making it sane again for 602 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 5: American businesses to want to manufacture with things in these 603 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 5: United States. Without these tariffs, it just doesn't make any 604 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 5: sense for American businesses to be able to manufacture of 605 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 5: products and services in these United States. Again, for American 606 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 5: businesses to be competitive to make products and services, we 607 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 5: have to have these tariffs in place. So again, I 608 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 5: appreciate President Trump taking bold actions. I know it feels 609 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 5: a little bit painful sometimes to be uncertain about the future. 610 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 5: But I'm seeing right here in Main Street that more 611 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 5: and more American businesses are excited about the future of 612 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 5: the American economy. 613 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 3: And honestly, there's nothing more demonstrable for the American people 614 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 3: than getting a discount on American goods. And as a 615 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 3: result of these tariffs, more people are purchasing American so 616 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 3: American businesses are selling more. So. I saw a commercial 617 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 3: today for a business that was offering a twenty five 618 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 3: percent tariff discount. That's something that the American people are 619 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 3: seeing in the windows of the stores where they shop, 620 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 3: in the ads on the websites that they visit. And 621 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 3: I got to think that whether you know, even if 622 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 3: Democrats a month ago said that it was doomsday and 623 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 3: the sky was falling in Helen I handbasket and all 624 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 3: those other idioms, seems like they are measurable ways that 625 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 3: the American people are already benefiting. 626 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 5: Well, I'll say this too. You know, I know that 627 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 5: I'm probably older than both of you guys here. Okay, 628 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 5: this is the thing. I remember when you would go 629 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 5: to the store and you could buy products that said 630 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 5: and made in America. Remember that you could go to 631 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 5: the store and you could intentionally as a shop or 632 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 5: choose to buy products that were made in America. Now 633 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 5: it's hard to find anything made in America. I mean, 634 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 5: my microphone here not made in America. My headphone's not 635 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 5: made in America. My tie not made in America, my 636 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 5: shirt not made in America. President Trump, what he's doing 637 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 5: is he's raising awareness for people to want to buy 638 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 5: in America. By President Trump imposing these tariffs, it's causing 639 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 5: to your point, Amanda, it's causing people to discuss what 640 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 5: is a tariff? Are tariff's good? Should we be buying 641 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 5: things made in America? Man? I wish more things were 642 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 5: made in America. So it's brought it to a top 643 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 5: of mind awareness for a lot of Americans. And I 644 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 5: would just encourage everybody out there today, if you can 645 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 5: buy something made in America, do it. I think it's 646 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 5: very important that we go out of our way to 647 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 5: support the companies that are already beginning to bring jobs 648 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,479 Speaker 5: back to these United States. But again I applaud President 649 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 5: Donald J. Trump for making a smart decision. And as 650 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 5: a business owner, I define smart as smart. It's specific, 651 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 5: it's measurable, it's actionable, it's realistic, and it's time sensitive. 652 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 5: President Trump has set specific measures in place that are smart, 653 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 5: they're specific, they're measurable, they're actionable, they're realistic, and they're 654 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 5: time sensitive. And I'm beginning to see more and more 655 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 5: American business owners get excited about the future of our country. 656 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 5: Under the Biden administration, Americans were depressed, American business owners. 657 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 5: That's that's who I fellowship with. American business owners were depressed. 658 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 5: They were concerned, they were worried about the future. With 659 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 5: President Donald J. Trump at the helm, many American business 660 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 5: owners are excited about the future and what the future 661 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 5: has to hold for our country. But I encourage everybody 662 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 5: out there again, get behind President Donald J. Trump's tariffs. 663 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 5: Support them when you can buy from American businesses that 664 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 5: are making products and services in the United States. And again, 665 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 5: with these tariffs in place, I belie leave very soon, 666 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 5: you're going to see more and more manufacturing return to 667 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 5: these United States. 668 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 669 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I want to take a look 670 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: at the deals already in place. We've got great Britain 671 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: that was long elusive for a big trade deal. China's 672 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: got a ninety day reprievus to the advantage of the 673 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: United States. It feels like India and Canada would be 674 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: the next two big shoes to fall. Give us your 675 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: thoughts on where the next trade deals might come from 676 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: and how important Canada and India are for maybe a 677 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: really big play for President Trump. 678 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,479 Speaker 5: Well, I can tell you this. One of my clients 679 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 5: I work with today. He's a CPA in a Canada 680 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 5: the big shout out to its spurl CPA. He's an 681 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 5: accountant up there in Canada, and he's telling me that 682 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 5: these Trump tariffs, these Trump terriff discussions are beginning to 683 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 5: make rumblings in Canada. More and more Canadians are talking 684 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 5: again about America, working with America. More and more Canadians 685 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 5: are talking about their economy. More and more Canadians are 686 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 5: aware of what is going on in their country and 687 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 5: their countries needed to work with these United States. But 688 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 5: with President Trump hadn't taken bold actions. President Trump hadn't 689 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 5: taken bold actions, these things would not These things would 690 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 5: have taken what decades to get done, maybe never gotten done. 691 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 5: I mean a president President Trump will only be with 692 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 5: us for four more years or four years in this 693 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 5: term here, So again he had to take a bold action. 694 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 5: And prettybody who hasn't read his book, The Art of 695 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 5: the Deal. What President Trump preached in his book and 696 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 5: what he does in real life is he goes for strong, 697 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 5: bold action. That's move number one. Take strong bold action 698 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 5: number two. It causes people to react or to pivot, 699 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 5: or to come to the table with an offer that 700 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 5: makes sense. So again, President Trump has taken big, bold action. 701 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 5: I don't claim to have a prophetic look at the 702 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 5: future as far as which countries are going to come 703 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 5: to the table next, but I can tell you for 704 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 5: my Canadian accountant to client up there spurl CPA, he's 705 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,760 Speaker 5: telling me that the people in Canada are talking about 706 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 5: these tariffs. And I believe under the Biden administration, America 707 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 5: was going to continue to be last again. But President 708 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,720 Speaker 5: Trump is working diligently to make America great again. 709 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, keep an eye on Alberta. 710 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 1: That energy industry wants to bust into the United States 711 00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: in a big way. They could be a forced high 712 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: and the Canadian Prime Minister forcing his hand. 713 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 2: Clay has always great to have you on. What's the 714 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,439 Speaker 2: quickest way to get your show? 715 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, thrive timeshow dot com thrive time should dot com 716 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 5: to come join Eric Trump and Tim Tebow at our 717 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 5: upcoming workshops thrivetimeshow dot com, Tim Tbow, Eric Trump coming 718 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 5: up in June and September. 719 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: Keep good company. How about that good stuff? All right, Clay, 720 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us and making sense of all this. 721 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: All right, folks, A quick commercial break ahead after that. 722 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: And that's a good question. Our radical DA's elevating non 723 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: citizens over Americans. 724 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 2: One organization is looking into it. We're gonna talk about 725 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 2: that next. 726 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,280 Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody. The Immigration Reform Law Institute has formally 727 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 3: requested the US Attorney General Pam Bondi open a Department 728 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 3: of Justice investigation into Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner and 729 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 3: other state prosecutors. In a letter to Bondi, they argued 730 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 3: that policies championed by Krassner and like minded das give 731 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 3: it preferential treatment to non citizens, pluting illegal immigrants over 732 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 3: American citizens, particularly in criminal prosecution. So with us now 733 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 3: to talk all about that. As the executive director of 734 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 3: that organization, he also serves as the general counsel for 735 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 3: the Immigration Reform Law Institute, who sent that letter to 736 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 3: ag Bondi. Dale Wilcox Dale thanks so much for joining. 737 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 10: Us my pleasure. 738 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 3: How did you first get tipped off about this? 739 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 11: Well, we had been seeing reports in the news and 740 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,439 Speaker 11: we decided to dig in using public records laws, and 741 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 11: we obtained records from Larry Krasner's office there in Philadelphia, 742 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 11: and we discovered that they were treating Americans differently than 743 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 11: criminal aliens. 744 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 10: Let me explain this to you. 745 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 11: So, Prasner's office has set up a sub office for 746 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 11: immigrants and they are looking at charges, criminal charges brought 747 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 11: against these non citizens, and they are either dismissing or 748 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,439 Speaker 11: down the charges so that there will not be any 749 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,760 Speaker 11: immigration consequences. And let me explain, under our immigration law, 750 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,760 Speaker 11: you can be deported if you commit certain particular crimes 751 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 11: like aggravated dui, spousal abuse, crimes with a firearm, drug 752 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 11: related charges. So the Philly DA is downgrading charges so 753 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 11: that these individuals will not be caught up under a 754 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,800 Speaker 11: federal immigration law and be sent out of the country. 755 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 11: And the problem here is Americans don't get that same courtesy. 756 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 11: Americans are in their own country being disadvantage in the law. 757 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 11: Foreigners are being treated better and getting better sentences, better 758 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 11: plea deals, charges dismissed over the people who voted these 759 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 11: prosecutors into office. 760 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 2: It is remarkable. 761 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: And then on top of it, once these people get 762 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: back on the street, they pose yet enough danger, as 763 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 1: we saw with the terrible cases involving Lake and Riley 764 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: and Johnson, Nungary and others. 765 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 2: What has been in the response. 766 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: Have you gotten any confirmation from the Justice Department that 767 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: they're on the case. 768 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 10: No, not yet. But this is an egregious violation of 769 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 10: the law. 770 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 11: The Supreme Court has been clear that discrimination based on citizenship, 771 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 11: just like race, is illegal. It's unconstitutional. About a week ago, 772 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 11: Attorney General Bondi started looking into the head of been 773 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 11: Counting Wisconsin Prosecutor's office because they said that they were 774 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 11: going to consider a race in their prosecution decisions and 775 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 11: plea deals, and citizenship is no different than race under 776 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 11: the Constitution and according to the Supreme Court precedent. So 777 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 11: we've reached out today to Attorney General Pambondi and to 778 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 11: Harny Dillon of the Civil Rights Division, announced them to 779 00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 11: open an investigation into these Soros funded progressive prosecutors who 780 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,280 Speaker 11: are not treating Americans fairly. 781 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 3: Now, I don't think there is a legal justification for 782 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 3: what they are doing here. I have no doubt though, 783 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 3: that they do have some type of justification. Maybe you 784 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 3: haven't heard a response from Larry Krasner's office or some 785 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 3: of these other das across the country. But what do 786 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 3: you find is the characteristic refrain when it comes to 787 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 3: defending these types of actions. Is it because these folks 788 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 3: have already experienced civil rights abuses? 789 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 11: How do they explain it saying that no one should 790 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 11: experience collateral or events should not ext collateral consequences for 791 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 11: their crimes. Now, federal immigration law is civil and administrative. 792 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 11: It's not criminal. It's collateral to the criminal action. It 793 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 11: should have nothing to do with it. Americans all the 794 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 11: time experience colla collateral consequences to committing crimes. They lose 795 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 11: their driver's license, they might be denied child custody, they 796 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 11: might have to go through drug testing occasionally, they might 797 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 11: have to register as a criminal. In certain states and localities, 798 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 11: there are collateral consequences to commuting crimes. These progressive prosecutors 799 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 11: are trying to protect immigrants from our federal immigration law. 800 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 11: They don't agree with it. They don't agree that these 801 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 11: criminals should be sent out of the country. So they're 802 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 11: doing all they can, setting up special offices at taxpayer 803 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,720 Speaker 11: expense and refusing to prostitute or downgrading their charges. 804 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: All right, So one of the things your great investigative 805 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: work turned up is this immigration council that basically is 806 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: like a free lawyer for immigrants that have been charged 807 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: with a crime. 808 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 2: It's kind of a weird thing. I've never seen this before. 809 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: Tell us what this lawyer does and how it really 810 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 1: tips the system in a very different way. 811 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 11: Yeah, Krasner set up in immigration unit within his prosecutor's office, 812 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 11: and this unit will take cases where there might possibly 813 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 11: the immigration consequences, and they will examine those faces and 814 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 11: potentially downgrade the charges or dismiss them all together. Now, 815 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 11: think about that, this is the prosecutor's office. This is 816 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 11: the office that is charged with prosecuting primes. They are 817 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 11: playing both sides. There's a conflict of interest here. They're 818 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 11: supposed to be the prosecutor represent the people, but then 819 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 11: yet they're playing public defender and looking to downgrade the 820 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 11: charges on individuals for illegal reasons that shouldn't be Americans 821 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 11: to get the same treatment. 822 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 10: So this needs to be stopped. 823 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 3: Dale, I know that This was obviously happening in Los 824 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 3: Angeles under DA George Gascon, It was happening in San Francis, 825 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 3: in London, Breeds, San Francisco. She's thankfully gone. But is 826 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 3: there a common thread? I think back twenty years, even 827 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 3: the most liberal of liberal das across this country I 828 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 3: don't think would espouse any type of support for something 829 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 3: like this. Is there a George Soros connection? Where is 830 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 3: this ideology coming from? 831 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, certainly there is. 832 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:09,240 Speaker 11: George Sorow's contributed to Krasner's campaign. These are his organizations 833 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 11: that he's behind. So there is this progressive movement that 834 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 11: is trying to open the borders. We saw that with 835 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 11: the four years of Biden and what he did to 836 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:26,240 Speaker 11: the country, intentionally creating a crisis for the nation.

I've heard 870 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,919 Speaker 1: that these could be anywhere from if the tariff stay 871 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: in place long enough, thirty to fifty billion dollars a month, 872 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: which would be up to three hundred and sixty to 873 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 1: six hundred billion dollars a year in new revenue that 874 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: brings down and balances the budget in a way. Now, 875 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 1: deals will make this revenue go down, but it does 876 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 1: show you that the worst case scenario is we start 877 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: bringing the deficit down just through this external tariff payments 878 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:37,920 Speaker 1: that are coming in. 879 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 2: A lot of people excited about that. 880 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: Now you know the deals are going to change the 881 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: look at this, but it's it's something that could be 882 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: really significant on the bottom line of the United States 883 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 1: governing soul side effect. 884 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I want to talk about something that 885 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 3: happened this morning that to me was an indication of 886 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 3: endearment between President Trump and the Saudi crown prints and 887 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:04,359 Speaker 3: also in a strange way, a sign of respect, a 888 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 3: prefab Mickey ease that was delivered for President Trump's enjoyment. 889 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 3: I don't know if he. 890 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 1: Imvibed, but everybody knows President Trump likes that. Are that 891 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 1: coke and that McDonald's Hamburger hair there, and so yeah, listen, 892 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: there are little things that you stagecraft manage these foreign visits. 893 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: And I think that was just a sign that the 894 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 1: Saudi's knew what he liked and wanted to let him. 895 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 2: Know they knew it. 896 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 3: So indeed, and President Trump color coordinated. I saw with 897 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 3: the purple carpet that came down. 898 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 2: Wow. 899 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,240 Speaker 3: That Yeah, he definitely knew how to dress for the occasion. 900 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 1: You better get ready for another big celebration. I'm hearing 901 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 1: that tomorrow there could be an announcement that cut Her 902 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 1: airline Airline Airways the big airline, and Cutter could be 903 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 1: buying a whole bunch of Boeing airplanes. That will be 904 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,799 Speaker 1: another part of the investment. That's important because Boeing has 905 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 1: had a lot of setbacks, including some cancelation of some 906 00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: recent UH manufacturing contracts. So this could be good news 907 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,280 Speaker 1: for the aerospace industries workers. 908 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 3: And then you know, after that, President Trump is going 909 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 3: to UAE, so maybe there is an opportunity for Immorant 910 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:11,279 Speaker 3: Air to do the same thing. 911 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 2: One up, cutter. 912 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:13,840 Speaker 1: I think you're just going to keep seeing these deals 913 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,359 Speaker 1: go round up, and we're going to be out north 914 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: the tent trillion pretty quickly. At the rate this is 915 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 1: going incredible, So yeah, really amazing. 916 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 5: All right. 917 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 3: So Senator Ron Johnson, who had already indicated to us 918 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 3: that he wanted this to be more than one big bill. 919 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,320 Speaker 3: He wanted to piece it out more appropriately. He said, 920 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 3: ain't I ain't going. 921 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: There, and he hinted, says, I want to see the 922 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: tax bill, but I don't think I could vote for 923 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 1: it if there's not large enough cuts. And today he 924 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,040 Speaker 1: wrote an op ed saying I can't vote for it. 925 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 1: He's a man of his word, and he's not It's 926 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: not surprising because he you know, he knows this is 927 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: the one time in American history where Congress has a 928 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: chance to really substantially stop the spending addiction it has, 929 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:56,240 Speaker 1: and he's seeing his colleagues just repeatedly fail to answer 930 00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: the call or make a difference. And so I don't 931 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 1: know what's going to end up. There's one idea that 932 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: I think. I don't think Congress is going to have 933 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: the courage to cut where it needs to cut. 934 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 2: I just don't. 935 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: As I said, I think they might be more known 936 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 1: as coward griss when they're done instead of Congress. But 937 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 1: Congress could slip two sentences into the Reconciliation bill and say, 938 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:22,800 Speaker 1: all appropriations in our budget are not ceilings. They're not floors, 939 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 1: they're ceilings. 940 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,240 Speaker 2: So if you don't need to spend up to that amount, 941 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:26,720 Speaker 2: you can't. 942 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 1: It's like creating recision authority for the president without having 943 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,919 Speaker 1: to have a vote. And everyone knows it could allow 944 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump to slash them by the way, not not 945 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 1: deliver what Congress hump and just find more efficient ways 946 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: and not have to spend the money, and it would 947 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,319 Speaker 1: silence the courts. I'd keep an eye and that sort 948 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,240 Speaker 1: of unexpected language being floated into one of these bills 949 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 1: to get conservatives back on track. 950 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 3: Just slide it in the fine printch just. 951 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,359 Speaker 2: Whatever reads anyways right. 952 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 3: Font and seventy Congress won't be able to read it. 953 00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 2: I'm not sure I could read it. 954 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 3: I don't think I could either. Okay, something that hit 955 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 3: home for me because of some er experiences that I 956 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 3: had in Los Angeles when ers were packed with immigrants 957 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 3: and you couldn't hardly get to see a doctor, I 958 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 3: ended up spending on thirty six hours in the emergency 959 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 3: room for choking on raw ginger. It's a stupid story 960 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 3: and I'm embarrassed to admit it. But anyway, this hits 961 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,240 Speaker 3: close to home. A three point five billion dollar cut 962 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 3: in federal aid to California, that's what's being considered because 963 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 3: of illegal immigrant healthcare. Let me tell you, John, there 964 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 3: are Democrats in California, Democrats in Los Angeles, San Diego, 965 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 3: San Francisco, the bluest parts of this country who are 966 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 3: fed up with subsidizing illegal immigrants their healthcare, their education, 967 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 3: their food stamps, everything that Californians pay some of the 968 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 3: highest taxes in this country. And I hope they're fed 969 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 3: up with it. They're going to have another option next 970 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 3: year when it comes to their governorship. 971 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, no, listen, I think, and you know what 972 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,879 Speaker 1: we just talked about with Larry Krasner, all of these 973 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,720 Speaker 1: blue areas, whether their cities and states, they're treating illegal 974 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 1: immigrants better than they treat the American citizens who they 975 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:10,319 Speaker 1: were elected and are by constitutions, supposed to protect and serve. 976 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 1: This system has gotten so askew over this liberal agenda 977 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 1: and twenty four was a correction moment. It could be 978 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 1: a correction course if Congress can get it's worked on. 979 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,080 Speaker 1: President Trump is delivering all the things he said. I'm 980 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:25,800 Speaker 1: really worried that Congress can't keep. 981 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:26,360 Speaker 2: Up with the president. 982 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, it's almost like the Hollywood mentality infected 983 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 3: the entire Democrat Party. The rules for the not for me, 984 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 3: that entitlement attitude and infected Democrats and they felt like 985 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 3: they could treat different classes of citizens, or treat different 986 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:41,800 Speaker 3: citizens like they are different classes. 987 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,239 Speaker 1: And you know, maybe time for another tea party movement 988 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:45,240 Speaker 1: in America. 989 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 2: I think if that started happening to them Memorial, that'd 990 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:48,240 Speaker 2: be interesting. 991 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 3: Big boy, oh boy.
