I'm your host, John Solomon, 3 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: reporting to you as always from the nation's capital, Washington, 4 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: d C. So much to take a look at today 5 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: in the world. Just a little while ago, a federal 6 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: judge ruled that the Pentagon's new rules for reporters violated 7 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: the First Amendment. 8 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,319 Speaker 2: So when for the New York Times, Though it may not. 9 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: Survive as it moves up to the court change, but 10 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: something we're watching at justinews dot com. 11 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: Be sure to go check that out. 12 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: If you're hoping for an end to the partial government 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: shutdown today, you'd be very disappointed. The Senate Democrats once again, 14 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: it's about a dozen times now blocked funding for the 15 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: Homeland security part meeting those long way times and the 16 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: airports are going to get worse. And those hard working 17 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: TSA agents who keep us safe on flights will continue 18 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: to pay work without any paycheck. It'll be now thirty 19 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: five plus days. What a travesty for them and for 20 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: all of us who traveled in the airspace. Send The 21 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: Democrats voted against the funding for the fifth time, which 22 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: makes the current partial government shutdown tied for the longest 23 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: shutdown in the history a second longest shutdown excuse me 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: at thirty five days. 25 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: The vote to in vote culture, which. 26 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: Is the process that got there what failed in a 27 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: forty seven thirty sevens. But here's where everything could be 28 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: coming to a head. The Senator is currently expected to 29 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: break for a two week recess next Friday. Senators would 30 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: normally return to their home districts to put in FaceTime 31 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: for their constituents, especially with an election you're coming up, 32 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: that's valuable time. But Senate Majority of Lady John Tune 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: said not so fast. That break may not happen. If 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: there's no deal place to fund homeland, you guys might 35 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: have to stay here. That means the Senators here's the 36 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: worst part. Even after two terror attacks and weeks, we 37 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: still can't get funding to help stop any potential future attacks. 38 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: A lot of the agencies that are on the front 39 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: lines of terrorism on the sidelines not being able to 40 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: get paid. With that, I'm going to turn into my 41 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 1: amazing co host Samanna head Man that you're watching a 42 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: lot of other things today, Yes. 43 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: Indeed, and on that topic, actually saying on the subject 44 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 3: of air travel to everyone out there. If you're flying 45 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 3: to Seapac next week, everyone knows Seapack is happening next week. 46 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 3: A word to the wise, do not fly into Houston 47 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: or Austin, because I'm hearing things are quite bad there. 48 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 4: All right. I want to stay on the subject of Iran. 49 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 3: There's a lot of conversation about how long this is 50 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 3: going to last. Earlier today, the President was asked why 51 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: he claims that the US has already won the war militarily, 52 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 3: while others, like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netanyahuu insists that 53 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 3: the war will likely need ground troops to fully topple 54 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 3: the Iranian regime. So take a listen to what the 55 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: President had to say. 56 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: Thanks, So the war was militarily won in Iran? What 57 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: did you mean of that? 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 5: Oh, I think we've won. We've knocked out their navy, 59 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 5: their air force, we've knocked out their anti na craft, 60 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 5: we've knocked out everything. We're roaming free. From a military standpoint, 61 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 5: all they're doing is clogging up the Strait. But from 62 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 5: a military standpoint, they're finished. 63 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 3: And while the Iranian military has dwindled to nearly nothing, 64 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 3: as President Trump remarked, the only obstacle to ending the 65 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: war is the strate of hormones, especially since NATO countries 66 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: refused to assist in the effort to reopen that key 67 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: shipping lane. 68 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 4: Here's the President on that topic. 69 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,119 Speaker 6: Viki Graham haasa for you to reconsider the America made 70 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 6: it in Spain in Germany after what they have done 71 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 6: in the free comportment. 72 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 5: Well, that deserves He's right about asking that. 73 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: And I think. 74 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 5: NATO's gone down a long way because they haven't. I mean, 75 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 5: they should be helping with the Strait. They get much 76 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 5: of their energy from the Strait of Hormus. And if 77 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 5: Lindsey Graham said that, and don't forget he was the 78 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 5: big NATO guy for a while and now he's not, 79 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 5: and a lot of senators in congressmen they would be. 80 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 5: They're very upset with the fact that NATO has done nothing. 81 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: And the President Trump pointed out a very important issue. 82 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 3: If other countries depend on the Strait of Oremus for 83 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: their energy, why on earth aren't they helping. While we 84 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 3: discuss this and many topics with our first guests of 85 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: the night, we are always honored to be joined by her. 86 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 3: She is Iowa Congresswoman Marionette Miller Meeks. 87 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 4: Check it out. 88 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: All right, folks, we got a great way to kick 89 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: off the show today. Joining us from the great state 90 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: of Iowa, Congress Women, Mary Atte Miller Meeks, Congress Women, 91 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: great to have you back on the show. 92 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 7: Good to be back. How are you both doing. 93 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: We're doing well. We know your state has suffered a 94 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: great loss. Some of the brave men and women killed 95 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: in action in the Iran operation are coming home. Tell 96 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: us a little bit about at this moment where we 97 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: are in the Iran operation. Sometimes to read the mainstream meding, 98 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: you think it's going badly. Then you listen to the 99 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: actual data. Seems like we're winning pretty big well. 100 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 8: It reminds me of the Vietnam War, when militarily people 101 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 8: felt we won the tet offensive and we had turned 102 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 8: the tides in the war, but politically we had not, 103 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,559 Speaker 8: and so that unfairness and coverage led to a change 104 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 8: in public opinion. In this case, people are certainly concerned 105 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 8: about is this another Iraq? But when you look at 106 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 8: everything that has happened, the degradation of launchers, the degradation 107 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 8: of missiles, the expenditure of missiles, the degradation of naval 108 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 8: vessels and ships, you know, military infrastructure. We have vastly 109 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 8: destroyed that infrastructure and capacity for Iran to strike back, 110 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 8: including strike back and allies in the Middle East, and 111 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 8: their last efforts are to prohibit ships going through the 112 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 8: Strait of Hormouse, which we know is problematic for a 113 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 8: variety of reasons. The United States and President Trump has 114 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 8: guaranteed passage of ships, provided insurance, which put Lloyd's of 115 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 8: London in a challenging position. But militarily it looks like 116 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 8: this as a much shorter conflict than had anticipated. 117 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 7: Certainly very risky. I don't diminish the risk. 118 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 8: And as you said, tomorrow is the funeral of two 119 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 8: of our National guards men who are excuse me, are 120 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 8: reservists who were killed in action. And it's very sobering 121 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 8: here in Iowa, very real. But as a military person, 122 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 8: I can tell you that for forty seven years Iran 123 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 8: has been at war with US. They have killed US 124 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 8: soldiers numerous places Coobar Towers, Marine Corps barracks and Lebanon, 125 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 8: two embassies which our embassies are guarded by our Marine Corps. 126 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 8: The USS coal brating and humiliating our military, and your 127 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 8: words have to mean more otherwise you continue to be 128 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 8: attacked both here and abroad no deterrence. 129 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 3: Well, and like you, I speak to a lot of 130 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: service members who support this conflict. 131 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 4: Because they know of what you've been speaking of. 132 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 3: But there are a few but very loud people in 133 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 3: the media space, particularly podcasters, who I think are really 134 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 3: trying to highlight the disunity in the Republican Party in 135 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 3: your state. 136 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 4: When you have flag. 137 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 3: Draped coffins coming home, I can imagine that that has 138 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: an effect on public opinion. 139 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 4: But as you talk to your. 140 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: Constituents, particularly heading into the summer of a midterm, do 141 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 3: you get the sense that disunity abounds or is it 142 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: just a minority. 143 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 8: I think that there are very loud voices in people 144 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 8: trying to influence the dialogue and undermine this president and 145 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 8: undermine our actions in our military. We certainly have seen 146 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 8: this happen before in the United States. This is an 147 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 8: action that was necessary, And even on January third, when 148 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 8: the US and President Trump had a brilliant military operation 149 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 8: to extradite Maduro back to the United States to face 150 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 8: criminal charges for which he was indicted, I had mentioned 151 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 8: at that time that this was also going to be 152 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 8: a signal to Iran and China and Russia and Cuba, 153 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 8: and that we may see things change, especially in Cuba 154 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 8: and Iran as well as Venezuela. And I think that 155 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 8: you're certainly seeing that. And you can see our Middle 156 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 8: Eastern allies, the Arab countries came to the support of 157 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 8: the United States early on. They do not want a 158 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 8: nuclear armed Iran. And again, for seven presidents in my 159 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 8: lifetime has said we could not have a nuclear armed Iran. 160 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 8: But just voicing it and saying it over and over 161 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 8: and over again does not prohibit military weapons. We allowed 162 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 8: Iran to avoid sanctions on oil production. President Biden sent 163 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 8: them money. President Obama sent them money. They were violating 164 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 8: even the International Atomic Energy Commission, they weren't allowed to inspect. 165 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 8: So they were violating the terms of JCPOA that Obama 166 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 8: had agreed to. They weren't slowing down in the development 167 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 8: of nuclear weapons. 168 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 7: That was their goal. 169 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 8: And they already had sixty percent highly enriched unite uranium. 170 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 8: And it's a very short timeline from sixty percent to 171 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 8: ninety percent, which is weapons great and if and President 172 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 8: Trump in negotiations offered them nuclear energy for power that 173 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 8: the United States would help to facilitate, but they rejected that. 174 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 8: They declined to reject that they wanted a nuclear weapon. 175 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 8: And you know, if you have peaceful purposes for nuclear energy, 176 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 8: you don't have to be two hundred to three hundred 177 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 8: feet underground in a mountain hiding it and not letting 178 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 8: the IAEA do proper inspections. 179 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: Such a common sense thing, right, exactly right. If you 180 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: have nothing to hide, why are you hiding it? It makes 181 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: all the sense in the world. I want to turn 182 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: to the Save Act, one of the top priorities in 183 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: the agenda for both Republicans and President Trump Congression. 184 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: Republicans through the House, no problem. 185 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: The Senate a little bit trickier, but several senators we 186 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: talked to Senator Ran Paul, Senator Ron Johnson, Senator Kennedy 187 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: separately making comments that there may be some negotiation and 188 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: that the key elements of this will get in either 189 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: in a recision package or me in an omnibus bill, 190 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: or in a skinnier version of the Save America Act. 191 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 2: What do you think about that opportunity. 192 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 8: I think, as you said, we have passed the Save 193 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 8: Act to Save America Act twice through the House. There 194 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 8: is tremendous bipartisan support among the American people for voter ID. Again, 195 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 8: it's a very common sense reform. In Iowa, we took 196 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 8: the hard votes to do voter ID when I was 197 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 8: in a Senate district that was not a favorable Senate 198 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 8: district for Republicans. Took those hard votes put voter ID 199 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 8: within our election integrity. We had several election integrity bills, 200 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 8: and every single time more people have voted, so it 201 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 8: doesn't seem like it reduced voter turnout at all, and 202 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 8: people had more confidence in their elections. 203 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 7: So this is common sense. But I think you have people. 204 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 8: We may have a majority in the House and the 205 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 8: Senate and a Republican president in the White House, but 206 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 8: you have to have sixty votes in the Senate. So 207 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 8: putting the Save America Act or major portions of it 208 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 8: in a reconciliation bill or in our year in f 209 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 8: y twenty seven appropriations bill, a must pass bill, that 210 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 8: seems to be a very logical step to take in 211 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 8: something that I would agree with in support being put 212 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 8: in other must pass legislation. I am in favor of 213 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 8: doing another reconciliation bill, not only for the Save America Act, 214 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 8: but for also some of the healthcare things that we 215 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 8: want to do, and some of the actions to take 216 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 8: against fraud perpetrated by illegal immigrants in our benefit system, 217 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 8: whether it's Medicaid or food stamps or other benefit systems 218 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 8: as we have seen in States. 219 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 3: Partner's Woman is something that's very important to you and 220 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 3: other Iowans. 221 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 4: The Farm Bill. 222 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: I know that you have been shouting from the rooftops 223 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 3: about this, and now it's being amplified by the President 224 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 3: of the United States. We don't want farmers left in limbo. 225 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 3: Talked to us about the implications of its passage. 226 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 8: Well, we passed significant portions of the Farm Bill in 227 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 8: our first reconciliation bill, the Working Families Tax cut last 228 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 8: year last term in twenty three twenty four. 229 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 7: The Farm Bill. 230 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 8: We had it done in the House, but the Senate, 231 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 8: which was controlled by Democrats, did not do text. So 232 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 8: we could not get the Farm Bill passed in twenty 233 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 8: three twenty four because the Senate Democrat in charge of 234 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 8: the Ag Committee didn't get it done, didn't do text. 235 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 8: So we want to get the Farm Bill done. Cherre 236 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 8: Thompson has worked very diligently, worked with farmers, worked with 237 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 8: all States, and we really need to get this done, 238 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 8: especially with the stress in the farm and the ag 239 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 8: economy right now. So we wholeheartedly agree with the President. 240 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 8: Let's get this done and move it across the finish line. 241 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be a big moment for all the middle 242 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: of the country, which is what I think a lot 243 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: of people look for.

Senator Mark Wayne Mullen 322 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 3: making his way through the confirmation process, a full floor. 323 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 4: Vote coming up soon. 324 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 3: But what expertise do you think he brings to the role. 325 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 4: Is he the right man for the job? 326 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 10: Well, first of all, I would if we would have 327 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 10: had this discussion a year ago and you would have 328 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 10: told me that John Fetterman was going to be the 329 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 10: deciding vote to push this forward, I would have taken 330 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 10: that bet and thought I was going to be a 331 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 10: rich man. So you know, the other thing that I'll 332 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 10: say about the hearings, unfortunately, is they're heavy on theatrics, 333 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 10: very light on substance. So I think this is the 334 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 10: America's opportunity to really learn about someone who's going to 335 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 10: lead one of the largest departments in our country. 336 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 9: And it's unfortunate that it's more theatrics than substance. So 337 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 9: there's still a lot we have to learn about him. 338 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 10: But the one thing, the one strength that I think 339 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 10: he does bring is he does know Congress and he 340 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 10: has apparently allies on both sides of the aisle. Look, 341 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 10: DHS is a contentious mission, it's an important mission, it's 342 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 10: a complex mission. And having that support and knowing people 343 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 10: in Congress, that's definitely going to be a positive. 344 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: So there are reports in the last couple of days, 345 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: Mark that either President Trump or people around him think 346 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: that maybe some of the optics of the deportation process. 347 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 2: Have been bad. 348 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean the mission of deportation is bad. What 349 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: advice You and I have had these great conversations about 350 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: what deportation two point zero looks like. I think you 351 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 1: have the best most comprehensive plan out there. What should 352 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: the new Homeland Secretary do to implement a steady stream 353 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: of people exiting this country without maybe giving the Democrats 354 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: so much ammunition? 355 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 10: God, Look, you summarized the best. You said it better 356 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 10: than I could. If I had to miss with the President, 357 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 10: I would lead off with what you did. Look, we 358 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 10: can't be we can't allow how we carried out the 359 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 10: lawful mission of removing people that are here illegally. We 360 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 10: cannot let that distracts We must continue on the mission 361 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 10: of lawfully carrying out and removing people that are here 362 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 10: in the country illegally. Look, I think we all agree 363 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 10: there were some challenges with the how Look, that person 364 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 10: in charge is gone. Now let's move past that. But 365 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 10: let's stay later the focus on what we should be doing. 366 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 10: And that's why part of this mass Deportation coalition. We 367 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 10: can do this without the chaos. We can do this 368 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 10: without the pushback and notoriety that we've been seeing for 369 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 10: the past year. And John, you and I talk and 370 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 10: although the first year what we call Phase one, the 371 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 10: mass Deportation Correalition, was. 372 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 9: It was effective. I mean, if you look today versus 373 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 9: a year ago, there are fewer criminal illegal aliens walking 374 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 9: the streets. 375 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 10: That's a fact. And because of President Trump's effort the 376 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 10: past year, our city streets streets are safer, that's also fact. 377 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 10: But what we're saying is if we're only gonna we're 378 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 10: ultimately going to de incentivize illegal migration and put integrity 379 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 10: back in the package of immigration laws. We must move 380 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 10: beyond a small subset of those that are in the 381 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 10: country illegally. We're calling that Phase two. We need to 382 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 10: go after the one point five million illegal aliens with 383 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 10: final orders of removal, the hundreds of thousands of visa overstakes. 384 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 10: We have to aggressively go after US employers who knowingly 385 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 10: and willingly hire illegal aliens so they can pay them 386 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 10: cheap wages to marginalize and already marginalize US born workforce. 387 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 10: That has to be done. We have to open up 388 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 10: the aptture and we can do it. And so we're 389 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 10: going to release a playbook here in the next ten 390 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 10: days or two weeks or so where we're going to 391 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 10: explain the why this needs to continue to happen, why 392 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 10: we need to move to phase two, and more importantly, 393 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 10: we're going to lay out a series of recommendations on 394 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 10: how that can be done, how we can reach that 395 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 10: one million legitimate apprehensions removals in interior within a year. 396 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 3: Incredible, well, unless we forget under Barack Obama, it was 397 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 3: what three point one million deportations. 398 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 4: Now that was over the course of his entire. 399 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 3: Term, but the role numbers he deported more at least 400 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 3: at this point in President Trump's term. Let me ask 401 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 3: you about the media's role in this, because there is 402 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 3: clearly a microscope from the. 403 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 4: Media on this. If do you think that the media 404 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 4: could turn their attention. 405 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 3: To something else, sometimes I doubt our ability to walk 406 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 3: in cheo gum At the same time, but if we 407 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 3: take so much attention off of it, then that not 408 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 3: only allows these agents to be more effective, but it 409 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 3: also keeps the country from thinking that this is the 410 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 3: only thing happening in the world. 411 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 10: Amanda, you're again I could have said about You're spot 412 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 10: on both of those counts. 413 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 9: Right. 414 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 10: If we can take and remove the chaos that we 415 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 10: saw in Chicago and Minneapolis, well then it's not going 416 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 10: to We're going to be able to remove some of 417 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 10: that rhetoric and that false narrative from the left and 418 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 10: Democratic Party, because again, they what we're doing is we're 419 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 10: kind of teeing it up for them toocus on the how, 420 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 10: right instead of the fact of the why we need 421 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 10: to conduct mass deportation and the other thing that I'll 422 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 10: say is they've been very effective at some of the Republicans, 423 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 10: some of the Conservatives that the media and what the 424 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 10: Democrats are doing and the rhetoric it's winning. It's pushing 425 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 10: them back in the corner that you know, we're hearing 426 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 10: reports and I know you've reported on it, that we're 427 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 10: wanting to walk away even from the phrase mass deportation. 428 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 10: I remember in the R and C when President Trump 429 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 10: spoke and others like Tom Holman and out in the audience, 430 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 10: there were resigns mass deportation twenty twenty four. Look, and 431 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 10: poll after poll is showing, don't believe the polls that 432 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 10: the liberal media and the Democrats are showing that the 433 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 10: Accountability Project under the mass coalition of mass deportation coalition. 434 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 9: We just sanctioned a new poll by McLoughlin that. 435 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 10: Shows still the over like eighty seven percent of those 436 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 10: that voted for Trump still want mass deportation. 437 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 9: So don't believe the lie. 438 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about something that mystifies me 439 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: and I think others who spend some time looking at 440 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: the law. We have sanctuary cities, we have sanctuary states. 441 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: We have prisons in jails and sheriffs that won't turn 442 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: over illegal aliens under order to leave the country, and 443 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: we have nonprofits that are bringing in and harboring those 444 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: illegal aliens. There's a law, it's kind of generally called 445 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: the illegal Alien harboring Law. It says that anyone knowing 446 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: or in a reckless disregard to the fact that there's 447 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: an illegal alien in their presence, if they try to 448 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: conceal harbor or shield from detection, or attempts to conceal 449 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: harbor or shield from detections, such alien in any place, 450 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: including a building or by means of transportation, can be 451 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: prosecuted as a federal felony. Why hasn't the Trump administration 452 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: used that to go after sanctuary city, sanctuary states, and 453 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: the nonprofits that are part of illegal migration, inc. 454 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 10: But I think that's a fair reas rational question that 455 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 10: they should address. John, think about this, and you and I, Matt, 456 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 10: we've talked about this for several years. Think about this. 457 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 10: This isn't this should not be an extreme view. You're 458 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 10: in the country illegally, you commit another crime against an 459 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 10: America and local law enforcement arrest you, and that local 460 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 10: law enforcement, because they're in a sanctuous city, refuses to 461 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 10: work with ice to remove the criminal illegal alien. How 462 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 10: can us wanting to do that be viewed as a 463 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 10: radical opinion? That's insanity? And so I believe to your 464 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 10: point if you're asking me, I think DOJ should aggressively 465 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 10: start going after some of these entities that are absolutely 466 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 10: violating the law. Is you just outlined? I mean, we've 467 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 10: got to fight fire with fire. We can no longer 468 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 10: let this go on, because this really is it's beyond stupid, 469 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 10: it's insanity, and it's jeopardizing the safety and nasal security 470 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 10: of our country. 471 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, before we let you go, I want to 472 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 3: bring it on into the conversation because we've seen what 473 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 3: four terrorist attacks in the last three weeks here on 474 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 3: US shores, and so everybody is thinking about sleeper sales 475 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 3: and concern that those are going to ramp up an increase. 476 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 3: You're the perfect person ask about this because of your 477 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 3: position at CBP. 478 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 4: How concerned are. 479 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 3: You that this is going to continue and possibly even accelerate. 480 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 9: Oh, I think it is. I'm very concerned. 481 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 10: So let's quickly look to the FBI and the greater 482 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 10: US intelligence community. They have said that the heightened potential 483 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 10: of a terrorist attack is greater than it's ever been 484 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 10: since nine to eleven. They refer to it as a 485 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 10: rogues gallery of terrorist organizations that are calling upon individuals 486 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 10: to attack America, and they're able to do so through 487 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 10: a decentralized methodology, meaning that the are trying to get 488 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 10: people to self rectalize that are already here and to 489 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 10: move from ideology to radicalization. Happens at the speed of 490 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 10: social media, and then you're throwing an Internet being an 491 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 10: event like epic Fury. You can move from that radicalization 492 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 10: to action literally overnight, and look real quick. 493 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 9: I believe facts matter. 494 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 10: During the Biden administration, we received and let in hundreds 495 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 10: of thousands of illegal aliens that we call special interest 496 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 10: aliens that come from countries that we know sponsor harbord 497 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 10: facilitate terrorism to include wait for it, Iran. We also 498 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 10: know that we encountered over four hundred illegal aliens on 499 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 10: the Terris watch list. The four years of the first 500 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 10: Trump administration. That number was around five or six. So again, 501 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 10: I keep saying this loud and clear. I hope somebody 502 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 10: finally listens. But it's not if or when the lowe 503 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 10: wolf offender or sleeper cell is here. It's already here. 504 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 2: That's so important. Mark before we let you go real quickly. 505 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: Birthright citizenship before the Supreme Court April first, the big 506 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: arguments this week, the new Juliska Cartel, a Jeleisica generation 507 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: cartel announced a US citizen is its new drug kingpin. 508 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: He got his citizenship to earth right citizenship by having 509 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: his mother good birth to him here in the United States. 510 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: He's a Mexican national now probably one of the most 511 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: notorious drug lords in the world. What does that say 512 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: to the court? Is it exhibit A in the Supreme 513 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: Court arguments? 514 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 9: Yeah? Look, I think so. 515 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 10: You mentioned earlier the last attacks that we've seen right 516 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 10: now naturalized citizens. So it's something we don't talk about 517 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 10: enough about. John, is assimilation simply because you were born 518 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 10: here and look, albeit through illegal means, which again I 519 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 10: don't believe that was our forefileders principle, that you could 520 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 10: violate our law and then benefit from a violation. But 521 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 10: more importantly, is it just simply because you're born here 522 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 10: does not mean that you fully assimilated and does not 523 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 10: mean your allegiance is to this country. So it's a 524 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 10: righteous reaching for the Trump administration to push back on. 525 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 3: Absolutely and just look at the models of other countries 526 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 3: who have done away with us as well. 527 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 528 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 3: Former Acting Commissioner of US Hessans and Border Protection Foreigner 529 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 3: FBI special agent and friend of our show, Mark Moore, 530 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 3: and thanks so much for being. 531 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 4: With us you got thanks both, absolutely absolutely. I love 532 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 4: it coming out next. 533 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 3: How economically free are we in America? Would it be 534 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 3: shocking to learn that our neighbors to the north, Canada 535 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 3: score higher on an economic freedom index? 536 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 4: It's true. We'll explain why after this. 537 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: Hey, folks, I used to think a mattress with just 538 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: a piece of furniture until I got my ghost Bed. 539 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: When I bought my first mattress from ghost Bet, it 540 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: was a game changer. 541 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: Why. 542 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: Because ghost Bed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build 543 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: engineered sleep systems. Their beds are serious health equipment, beds 544 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: designed for relief and recovery, not looks, not fluff. Your 545 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. 546 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: I notice a difference right away if you're waking up stiff, 547 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: tossing and turning, sleeping hot, even reaching for a pain 548 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: reliever before bed, hoping tonight's going to be different. Guess 549 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: to what that may not be aging. It could be 550 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: your mattress talking to you. And here's another thing I 551 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: love about ghost bet. You get one hundred and one 552 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: nights to try it at home. If you don't feel 553 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: the difference, you can send it back risk free.

And TONYJ. Great to have you back on. 562 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 11: John, my pleasure. 563 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: Thanks for having me again. 564 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: I love so much of the work that Heritage does 565 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: because it gives you data points and data matters in 566 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: an era of spin in short tweets. You just recently 567 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: put out the thirty second edition of the Index of 568 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: Economic Freedom, The US ranked twenty second. 569 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 2: How's that happen? How's the Land of the Free end 570 00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 2: up at number twenty two? 571 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 9: Great? 572 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 11: Great question, you know, unfortunately this is only the first 573 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 11: year where we've had an increase in the last six years. 574 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 11: In other words, in the previous five years, we were 575 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 11: actually seeing declines year after year. Now, obviously a lot 576 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 11: of that had to do with the Biden administration, but 577 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 11: we even had a decline in twenty twenty and that 578 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 11: was because of COVID obviously and some of the draconian 579 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 11: measures that were implemented that year. 580 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 9: But whatever the. 581 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 11: Case, I think the real unsung hero of the last 582 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 11: year has been the deregulatory efforts of the Trump administration, 583 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 11: where you know, they actually got rid of a record 584 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 11: number of burdensome regulations, cut a record amount of bureaucratic 585 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 11: red tape, and that is really helping to not only 586 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 11: increase economic growth and get those growth rates up, but 587 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 11: it's also making people more free. It's increasing the number 588 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 11: of options you're going to have for things like the 589 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 11: kind of car you want to drive, where you want 590 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 11: to work, what kind of appliances you want to be 591 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 11: able to have in your home. All of these different 592 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 11: things were seriously limited because of the kind of bureaucratic 593 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 11: overreach that happened during the Biden years, and it's wonderful 594 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 11: progress to see those things reversed. 595 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean this is it makes me go fall. Canada, 596 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 3: the country who beat d Bank, hundreds of men and women. 597 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 4: Who just drove their trucks to Ottawa. 598 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 3: That's the country that is ahead of us, along with 599 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 3: twenty others I suppose. So if we stay on this 600 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 3: trajectory of deregulation, just the deregulation alone, how close can 601 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 3: we get to number one when it comes to economic creedom? 602 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 2: Great? Great question. 603 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 11: We can certainly continue to move several points up in 604 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 11: the index, particularly when you have some of those who 605 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 11: are currently ahead of us, like Canada that you mentioned, 606 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 11: America's hat. You know, they are essentially falling in the index. 607 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 11: And the reason for that, and the reason why I 608 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 11: think they're going to fall next year, is because of 609 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 11: what's going on right now in that nation and also 610 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 11: several others where they aren't deregulating, they're adding regulatory burdens. 611 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 11: You have nations that are actually increasing not just regulatory 612 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 11: but tax burdens as well. They're becoming more bureaucratic, not less. 613 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 11: Government is getting more involved in the private sector and 614 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 11: is decreasing people's economic freedom. But then on top of that, 615 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 11: you look at so many of these different countries where 616 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 11: they've really kind of I guess you could say gone 617 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 11: woke in terms of their judicial system. And the judicial 618 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 11: system is no longer there strictly to do things like 619 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 11: protect people's property rights, to enforce contract law, but instead 620 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 11: it is increasingly trying to engage in these kinds of 621 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 11: weird social engineering on behalf of left wing causes. And 622 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 11: the judicial system is actually in certain cases, and I 623 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 11: guess the most extreme case look at North Korea or 624 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 11: the Chinese Communist Party places like that, the judicial system 625 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 11: is now just another arm of government bureaucracy and is 626 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 11: really a way for the government to try to force 627 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 11: its will onto people. Again, as those different countries that 628 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 11: are ahead of us unfortunately go down that route, they 629 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 11: will fall in the rankings and the US will continue 630 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 11: moving up. 631 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to turn to the Iran operation. Obviously, 632 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: when war happens, energy prices typically when the wars in 633 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: the Middle East go up. There's a piece difven at 634 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: the end of this. But right now, how bad can 635 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: fuel prices get? And where will we be in September 636 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: when people start thinking about who am I going to 637 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: vote for in the fall election? 638 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 11: Great great questions, John, and look I got to say, 639 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 11: there have been so many talking heads out there saying 640 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 11: one of two things, either one, oil's going to two hundred, 641 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 11: or on the other hand, they're saying no, no, oil 642 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 11: is going to be back down to seventy in no 643 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 11: time at all, And they're. 644 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 9: Speaking as as if they know. 645 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 2: They don't. 646 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 11: Nobody has any idea, John, And the reason for that 647 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 11: is because we don't know what's going to happen in 648 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 11: the region in the next six hours, let alone six 649 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 11: days or six weeks. We just don't know. That is 650 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 11: why you have had such a extreme volatility in both 651 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 11: crude oil and natural gas markets the last several weeks. 652 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 11: We simply don't know. Just look at the escalation that 653 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 11: happened just the last few days where Israel struck targets 654 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 11: natural gas targets and I Ran and then i Ran 655 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 11: responded by striking natural gas targets throughout the region. Well, 656 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 11: the result of that was even more turbulence and even 657 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 11: higher prices in natural gas markets. Obviously, though before these 658 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 11: strikes occurred, that wasn't priced in. So again, you just 659 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 11: don't know so much of where oil and natural gas 660 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 11: are going to go in terms of price. John is 661 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 11: just dependent on two things. Number one, how long is 662 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 11: the conflict gonna last, and number two, how much damage 663 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 11: is going to be done to infrastructure during that time. 664 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 11: Case in point Cutter came out with some data just 665 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 11: within the last I think thirty six hours saying that 666 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 11: it is going to take between three and five years 667 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 11: to fix some of the damage that has been done 668 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 11: to some of their energy infrastructure. So that represents not 669 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 11: just a production that is temporarily taken offline because the 670 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 11: strait of Horror Moves is closed, but it represents production 671 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 11: that has taken off line for many years to come 672 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 11: because of actual physical damage. So again, which way oil 673 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 11: is going to go is going to depend on how 674 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,760 Speaker 11: long this conflict lasts. 675 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 4: EJ Before we let you go. 676 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 3: A few years ago, New York Governor Kathy Hochel was 677 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 3: saying to wealthy New Yorkers, if you don't want to 678 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 3: participate here, if you don't want to contribute here, say 679 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 3: Andara have a nice life in Florida and Texas well. 680 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 3: Just earlier this week, she was singing a very different tune, 681 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 3: seemingly begging New Yorkers to come back from the Sunshine 682 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 3: or the Lone Star States to New York. What do 683 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 3: these people not get about taxing people into oblivion because 684 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 3: now they're begging them to come back. 685 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 11: Well, well, well, I actually wrote the study on New 686 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 11: York tax increases. This was about four or five years ago, 687 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 11: and it was done at the time because of the 688 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 11: latest round of tax increases that we were seeing in 689 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 11: New York City. And what I demonstrated in that research 690 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 11: was that you were going to see hundreds of thousands 691 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 11: of more people leave New York State in the years 692 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 11: to come. And sure enough, that's exactly what's happened. In fact, 693 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 11: the numbers have essentially been right on the money. What 694 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 11: I'm getting at here is the fact that these public 695 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 11: policies have very real consequences. People are leaving these high tax, 696 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 11: over regulated states New York, California, Illinois, and where are 697 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 11: they going. They're going to places like Texas, Tennessee, Florida 698 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 11: and other states that again have low tax rates and 699 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 11: low regulatory burdens. And what these blue state governors are 700 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 11: now realizing, very very painfully is the fact that their 701 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 11: tax base has been so completely eroded by high tax 702 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 11: rates that now they can't pay their bills. And it 703 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 11: means the only thing left to squeeze, so to speak, 704 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 11: is the middle class, and that is where they're going 705 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 11: to have to start extracting the next round of revenue. 706 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 11: And that's bad news for middle class families who live 707 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 11: in those states. 708 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, spend more, lose more. 709 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: I have a funny feeling Virginia may be the next 710 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: place where we start to see economic refugees. EJ and Tony. 711 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: What a great opportunity to having the show. Thanks for 712 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: joining us today. 713 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 11: My pleasure. Thank you for having me. 714 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: A great opportunity, my friend movies love talking. All right, folks, 715 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a qui commercial break. 716 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 2: Let me come back. 717 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna explain why my new bed is not a 718 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: piece of furniture. My mattress is not a piece of furniture. 719 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: It's a sleep engineering system. I'm gonna prove it to 720 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: you right after these messages. 721 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody. 722 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 3: Most people don't think about their mattress until pain forces 723 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 3: them to stop. Thinking about your mattress as furniture. You 724 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 3: spend a third of your life on it. That makes 725 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 3: it one of the most important pieces of health equipment 726 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 3: that you own. Today, we are talking about why just okay, 727 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 3: sleep may actually be driving your frequent chiropractor visits or 728 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 3: taking tail and all or ibuprofen before bed hoping to 729 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 3: sleep better or wake. 730 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 4: Up with less pain and stiffness. 731 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 3: So joining us now to talk about this is the 732 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 3: CEO of ghost Bed, Mark Werner Mark. 733 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 4: Great to have you here. 734 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,240 Speaker 6: Great, thank you for having ghost Bed tonight. Hello Amanda 735 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 6: and John. 736 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 3: Absolutely great to see you all right. I sleep on 737 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 3: my back like a mummy. Give me a piece of 738 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 3: plywood to lay on and I am perfectly happy. My 739 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 3: husband sleeps on his side. He doesn't like a firm mattress. 740 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 3: Is there a solution with ghost. 741 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 6: Bed, There definitely is. So we've kind of pioneered the 742 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 6: split King adjustable, So it's two adjustable bases and then 743 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 6: two mattresses that each person could pick out their own kind. 744 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 6: So if you want a super cooling one that's firmer, 745 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 6: and your partner wants a medium cooling that's a little softer, 746 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 6: we've got the solution. And with those adjustable bases, the 747 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 6: head goes up, the flot goes up, you've got anti 748 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 6: store features, you've got massage, you've got life, you've got 749 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 6: USB connectors, so it's a great setup. And what's been happening. 750 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 6: I think it's up to twenty percent of the country 751 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 6: has a what's called a sleep divorce. They literally sleep 752 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,439 Speaker 6: in separate bedrooms because they can't agree on the type 753 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 6: of mattress that they want, and then there's a little 754 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 6: bit of sometimes noise in there. So this is something 755 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,879 Speaker 6: that's become super popular with all age groups. And it's 756 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 6: really the Rolls Royce of a sleep experience. The split 757 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 6: King adjustable. We have them in a lot of different 758 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 6: mattress selections. 759 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 2: It's amazing that solved a lot of merinimal problems. I think. 760 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: Let me take you to something you just mentioned, the 761 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: temperature changes. It is the very first thing I noticed 762 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: sleeping in the ghost bed. 763 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 2: As soon as I. 764 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: Got it, I just felt cool or more relaxed. I 765 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: didn't the fact when I got it was a warm day. 766 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: How is it that you can get a bed to 767 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: regulate and adjust to our temperature? I mean, I'd swear 768 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: all that sounds like mystical, but then I sleptimes like 769 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: it's very real. 770 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 6: So we use cooling technology in the fabric itself of 771 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 6: the cover of the mattress, and that pulls away your 772 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 6: heat and then We use something called phase change material, 773 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 6: which is an organic material, usually on the top layer 774 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 6: of the foam, and often will air rate it so 775 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 6: the airflow will flow right through it. So with that 776 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 6: phase change material, it's think of like water. When it's 777 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 6: in the glass in the room, it's just room temperature, 778 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 6: it's water. When it's in the freezer, it's ice, and 779 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 6: it goes from ice to water and back and forth. 780 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 6: That's how phase change works. It pulls that heat away 781 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 6: from your person and just keeps you cool enough. And 782 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 6: people think you don't need to be down ten degrees. 783 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 6: I always give the example when you were a little 784 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 6: kid and you were had a fever or something and 785 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 6: you were selling to your mother, I'm dying here, and 786 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 6: your mother takes you temperature and it turns out, you know, 787 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,879 Speaker 6: you're up one degree and that's the whole crisis. Well, 788 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 6: that's the same thing with sleep. If we can kind 789 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 6: of get you down a point or point and a 790 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 6: half in temperature, we've got you to a very neutral 791 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 6: position and you're going to sleep much easier and much 792 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 6: more relaxed, and you'll fall asleep deeper and it's just great. 793 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 6: So it's our cooling patented technology that really makes a 794 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 6: difference and is a big winner. And it applies in 795 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 6: our mattresses, it applies to our toppers, in our pillows, 796 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 6: and in our sheets as well. It's a whole system, 797 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 6: and we're very proud of it. And I slept warm 798 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 6: when I was all through my years and today, so 799 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,280 Speaker 6: I kind of was selfish trying to solve a problem 800 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 6: for myself. And I know over sixty percent of country 801 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 6: sleeps warm. 802 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:32,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 803 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I want to ask you about the inception 804 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 3: of this because it wasn't a business idea when it 805 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 3: started off. 806 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 4: You were trying to solve a health problem, right. 807 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:41,800 Speaker 2: That's correct. 808 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 6: I did come, fortunately from the Werner Ladder family, so 809 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 6: I had one hundred year family behind me that taught 810 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,839 Speaker 6: me pretty much everything I know. And I've had three 811 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 6: neck surgeries, two from the front and one from the back, 812 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 6: and I couldn't find a pillow or a mattress that 813 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 6: worked for my condition. So I decide, given that I 814 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 6: grew up in that fiberglass world, that my dad invented 815 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 6: the fiberglass ladder, so I had tremendous experience in polymer technology, 816 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,479 Speaker 6: polymer science, so I decided to make my own memory, phone, 817 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 6: pillow and topper, and that was the start of it. 818 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 6: And I did it with my wife twenty five years ago, 819 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,839 Speaker 6: and we wanted to really recreate a family business and 820 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 6: have our children involved, and having an American made family 821 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,760 Speaker 6: business is really important to us. That's been my culture 822 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 6: forever and multiple generations, and that's how we got started 823 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 6: and it's been growing ever since. 824 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 2: Amazing. 825 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,399 Speaker 1: About a minute left before we let you go, could 826 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: you tell us I know what I experienced. First, what's 827 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: the most common thing people say after they buy a ghostbud, 828 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:41,880 Speaker 1: what's the first thing they noticed? 829 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 6: They just love it and they just love it. And 830 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 6: you know, I'm a little biased because I see it, 831 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 6: but I read all the reviews and we have over 832 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,240 Speaker 6: one hundred thousand reviews and they're on our website, ghost 833 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 6: dot com, on Costco, Big Customer and Sam's and Amazon, 834 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 6: so independent platforms. And the feed back is absolutely great. 835 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 6: And I consistently see feedback like this is life changing. 836 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 6: And I know it's a really high quality product and 837 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 6: an affordable price, but I love when people are telling 838 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 6: me it's life changing. It helped me with fiber bilgia, 839 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 6: or my pregnancy, or my hip problem or whatever the 840 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 6: problem is, it's just an immediate acceptance. And I also 841 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 6: can tell we have a very low return rate in 842 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 6: our mattresses, less than five percent, so I know we're 843 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 6: really hitting the right type of product for the right 844 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 6: kind of customer need.

We need it more than ever. 860 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 3: So joining us now is someone who agrees with that sentiment, 861 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,280 Speaker 3: and he's launched the seven fourteen initiative aimed at getting 862 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 3: Americans praying for our country. George pond. 863 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 4: George, thanks so much for being with us. Thank you 864 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 4: very much, absolutely, Sarah. President Trump. 865 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 3: Last year, following in the footsteps of our founders like 866 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 3: George Washington and also former President Abraham Lincoln, President Trump 867 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,240 Speaker 3: signed a proclamation for a national Day of Prayer. 868 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:05,840 Speaker 4: And it sounds to me like you are looking to 869 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 4: expand that. Tell us about it. 870 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,879 Speaker 12: Yes, I am. And one of the reasons we want 871 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 12: to do it is because of an important date coming 872 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 12: up in ten days, March thirtieth. And the reason we 873 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 12: want to do we'd like for this proclamation, which basically 874 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 12: has two components to it. It has what Lincoln did 875 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 12: in eighteen sixty three on March thirtieth, and I can 876 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 12: read that to your excerpts of it. And then the 877 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 12: second part of it is Second Chronicle seven fourteen, which 878 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 12: basically says, if my people, who are called by my 879 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 12: name will humble themselves, pray and seek my face, turn 880 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 12: from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven. 881 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 12: I will forgive their sin and heal the land. And 882 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 12: we've been doing this for the last since May of 883 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,840 Speaker 12: twenty twenty four. We've we've been praying every day. We 884 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 12: haven't stopped May second will be our seven one hundred 885 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 12: and fourteenth day, and we continue to pray, and a 886 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 12: lot of it has to do with basically focusing on 887 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 12: this and unpacking the principles built into this scripture based 888 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 12: on a book by George Otis Junior, and it's a 889 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 12: fifty two day study that we pray every day. 890 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: That is amazing, George, how many people are participating this, 891 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:33,800 Speaker 1: I mean, this is very exciting. 892 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 2: Okay. 893 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 12: Well, the vision that was given to me back in 894 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 12: the spring of twenty four was pretty aggressive. It was 895 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 12: fifty states with a minimum of ten individuals, and these 896 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,720 Speaker 12: individuals the Lord laid on my heart, would be really 897 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 12: mature prayer warriors. We're not there at the fifty states, 898 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 12: but we're in four time zones now. Our average is 899 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 12: around twenty. Ten was the minimum that God gave me 900 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 12: because ten is a minion and in Judea synergods, you 901 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 12: can't really have a meeting or of worship until you 902 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 12: have ten. So that was what the Lord laid on me. 903 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 12: And it's growing also in Pakistan Pakistan, and I'm hoping 904 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 12: to get one started soon in Israel. 905 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 2: It's amazing. 906 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 4: That's just beautiful, George. 907 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,720 Speaker 3: I'm a praying woman, and I always pray for our president, 908 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 3: no matter if he has an R or a D 909 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,520 Speaker 3: next to his name. So obviously I think a lot 910 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,880 Speaker 3: of believers across this country pray for the president. But 911 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 3: when it comes to healing our land, when you find 912 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,360 Speaker 3: yourself prostrate and you are praying, what is the area 913 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 3: of healing that our country. 914 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:52,399 Speaker 4: Needs the most? To think? 915 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 12: Well, if you look at the in the Old Testament period, 916 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 12: idolatry was something really not good in God's eyes, the 917 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 12: spilling of innocent blood. Now more in our Christian era, 918 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 12: as we've learned in the New Testament, especially from Saint Paul. 919 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 12: You know, he expands on the whole concept of sin 920 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 12: in so many different ways. I can go into a 921 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 12: lengthy description of it, but basically, sin is sin. It 922 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,360 Speaker 12: keeps us from having a relationship with the almighty Living God, 923 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,320 Speaker 12: and he gives us a way to get back into 924 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 12: His grace. First of all, we have in our faith 925 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 12: with Christianity. We have Jesus as our advocate, and through 926 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 12: his precious blood, we have access to the heavenly courts 927 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 12: that's in Hebrews ten nineteen. But more importantly, as a 928 00:47:55,239 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 12: nation and especially the Church, which really is what being 929 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,720 Speaker 12: asked here in seven fourteen second chronicles. If my people, 930 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,680 Speaker 12: my people in this day and time would be the Church. 931 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,720 Speaker 12: And so everything starts with the Church. And I'm talking 932 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 12: about the broad Church, all denominations, all who professed Christ, 933 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 12: and based on that a proclamation from the President at 934 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 12: this particular time, and why the thirtieth of March. And 935 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 12: this is an interesting story here, when Lincoln gave that proclamation, 936 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 12: which was basically I'm going to read some parts of it. 937 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 12: We have been the recipients of the choicest boundaries of heaven. 938 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 12: We've been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. 939 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,759 Speaker 12: We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no 940 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 12: other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. 941 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 12: We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in 942 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 12: peace and multiplied, enriched, and strengthened us. And we have 943 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 12: vain imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all 944 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 12: these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue 945 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:12,720 Speaker 12: of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become 946 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 12: too self sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and 947 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 12: the preserving grace. Too proud to pray to God that 948 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 12: made us, it behooves us then to hump ourselves before 949 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:28,239 Speaker 12: the offended power, and to confess our national sins and 950 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,720 Speaker 12: pray for clemency and forgiveness. 951 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 4: Oh George, that's beautiful. 952 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 3: I love, I love what you were doing with a 953 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 3: seven fourteen initiative.
