Bannon's War Room - Episode 4497： Trump Honors Fallen Police Officers; Breaking Down The Truth Behind Hur Tapes

00:00:00.000 Tiffany is doing great, he's a fantastic leader.

00:00:04.760 You know all about the fantastic, the great Arnault family.

00:00:11.280 And the fact that you came for this is very meaningful actually, it's really incredible.

00:00:16.960 But for crafting this beautiful medal, and I know he looked at it and he worked on it

00:00:20.400 and he had his best people working on it and people are loving it.

00:00:24.160 And this will go on for a long time.

00:00:26.200 You'll be making that medal for a long time.

00:00:28.760 Secondly, in one way it's very sad, but we properly respect the ones that have lost their

00:00:36.040 lives.

00:00:37.040 Today we also remember three remarkable heroes who will become the medal's first ever recipients.

00:00:43.400 It's a big honor.

00:00:45.520 Corporal Luis Piaz Jr., Deputy Sheriff Ralph Butch Waller Jr., and Deputy Sheriff Ignacio

00:00:54.920 Dan Diaz.

00:00:57.200 And thank you very much.

00:00:58.200 Represented by family members who are, I was there with them.

00:01:03.200 They were, that was devastation.

00:01:05.200 They were devastated.

00:01:07.000 We're profoundly grateful to be joined by their loved ones.

00:01:11.200 Corporal Piazza's former wife, Doris.

00:01:14.200 Thank you, Doris, for being with us.

00:01:16.480 Thank you very much.

00:01:17.480 Thank you.

00:01:19.480 And his son, Cameron.

00:01:21.480 Good-looking son, too.

00:01:23.480 Deputy Waller's wife, Denise.

00:01:26.480 Thank you, Denise, very much.

00:01:28.480 And Deputy Diaz's daughter, Alexandria.

00:01:31.480 Thank you.

00:01:32.480 Thank you very much.

00:01:34.480 I want to thank you all.

00:01:35.480 And the three officers we recognized today were close friends who were really close friends

00:01:40.300 and colleagues.

00:01:41.300 And together they dedicated their lives to protecting the people of Palm Beach County and well beyond.

00:01:47.900 And they were beloved by everyone and respected by all really, really top of the line people.

00:01:54.480 Countless times when I was in Florida, they proudly saved.

00:01:58.140 And they saved a lot of lives.

00:02:00.040 They were going around saving a lot of lives.

00:02:02.360 Their reputation was incredible.

00:02:03.980 They served in motorcades for presidents called presidential motorcades.

00:02:09.940 A very dangerous job, actually.

00:02:11.580 And I was deeply honored to attend their memorial service last year in a horrific accident in November.

00:02:18.260 The three officers were working to restart one of their motorcycles on the shoulder of a road

00:02:24.820 when they were struck by a SUV, struck dead center, and all three perished from their injuries.

00:02:33.680 Essentially, they perished immediately.

00:02:36.200 This was a terrible tragedy.

00:02:37.740 It shook the entire Palm Beach community like very, very few events I've ever seen.

00:02:44.460 All of Florida mourned their loss.

00:02:46.300 And today, our entire nation joins in honoring these three incredible patriots taken from us much too soon, much, much too soon.

00:02:54.860 To Doris Cameron, Denise, Alexandria, and to all of those who love these brave men,

00:03:01.220 we are deeply sorry for your loss and eternally grateful for their sacrifice, their great, great sacrifice, just respected by everybody.

00:03:10.580 We'll never forget their legacy, and we will never forget the debt we owe all of these great law enforcement heroes

00:03:17.920 who have given their lives to keep our community safe and make America strong again.

00:03:23.020 We have so many unbelievable people in the police department and other departments, first responders, firemen,

00:03:29.460 a lot of brave, incredible people.

00:03:32.060 And I'd now like to ask my son, Eric Trump, to say a few words, followed by Congressman Brian Mast

00:03:39.900 and Alexander Arnault, who's going to be giving out the medals.

00:03:44.140 Then I'll present the medals of sacrifice.

00:03:47.220 Thank you very much, everybody.

00:03:48.460 Thank you for being here, too.

00:03:49.600 Thank you.

00:03:51.260 Please.

00:03:54.160 Mr. President, thank you very much.

00:03:55.700 My father and I attended that funeral that day, and I can't tell you how moving that experience was.

00:04:02.620 And one simple question was asked, why is there no medal, medal of valor, medal of sacrifice,

00:04:09.180 that commemorates law enforcement officers, first responders who have fallen in the line of duty?

00:04:15.280 And Congressman Mast, he was there with me that day.

00:04:17.940 He was with my father, and we said, we're going to take care of this problem.

00:04:20.880 We're going to get involved.

00:04:21.800 And the first call that was made was to the great Arnault family who owns Tiffany's,

00:04:25.760 and they said, without hesitation, that they'd be honored to design something absolutely beautiful

00:04:30.700 that's a tribute to these incredible officers, these incredible EMS responders.

00:04:36.040 And here we are, roughly six months later, with something that's truly beautiful.

00:04:40.500 I want to thank the Tiffany's family, the Arnault family, for all the work they put into it in their entire team.

00:04:46.640 I can tell you this has been a nonstop effort.

00:04:49.040 I want to thank the congressman. Without the congressman and his staff, we would not be here today.

00:04:54.520 I want to thank the president for allowing us to do this. It's such an important mission.

00:04:58.160 This medal is going to be given for hundreds and hundreds of years to come.

00:05:02.600 And last but not least, I want to send, on behalf of this entire nation, on behalf of our entire family,

00:05:07.840 the incredible families of the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office and your incredible families.

00:05:12.980 They made the ultimate sacrifice and know that we all appreciate their dedication.

00:05:19.700 Many of us knew them, have met them, and we love them very much, and I'm sure they're missed.

00:05:24.840 But today, hopefully, this is a great tribute to them.

00:05:27.820 And I know, because of our wonderful president, that this medal will be given out for many years to come.

00:05:32.940 Thank you very much.

00:05:33.500 Thank you very much.

00:06:03.500 Thank you very much.

00:06:33.500 Mr. President, congressman, thank you very much for involving Tiffany in this process.

00:06:40.180 We're very honored to having made these medals.

00:06:43.200 Tiffany is a jeweler, as everyone knows it, but also a maker of American heritage.

00:06:48.280 We were making the medal of honor in the 19th and early 20th century, and it's only natural that we followed with this heritage,

00:06:55.920 just as we work on other very important American herlooms.

00:07:00.760 This medal was made in Providence, Rhode Island, in our largest factory in the U.S., out of silver, plated in 24-karat gold, just like the ceiling of this office,

00:07:12.380 and represents the coat of arms of the United States.

00:07:16.740 Mr. President, thank you very much.

00:07:18.060 Thank you very much.

00:07:20.020 Byron, would you like to say a few words?

00:07:21.960 First, to be brief, to the families, we are so sorry for your sacrifice, but your officer from your family represented not just Palm Beach County,

00:07:35.440 but the United States with honor.

00:07:37.060 Mr. President, thank you for allowing this to go forward.

00:07:39.520 To my colleague, Congressman Mass, thank you for your leadership.

00:07:42.100 We will always honor first responders in the United States of America.

00:07:45.660 Thank you very much.

00:07:46.880 Thanks.

00:07:47.440 Thanks.

00:07:48.460 Okay.

00:07:51.220 So?

00:07:56.520 You want to help us out?

00:07:58.320 You're the one who made it.

00:08:02.140 That's beautiful.

00:08:08.040 So can we ask the families to step forward, please?

00:08:12.100 Chair, would you like to help us with that?

00:08:14.320 Please, thank you very much.

00:08:19.000 Thank you very much.

00:08:20.040 Thank you, sir.

00:08:23.400 Thank you, sir.

00:08:31.940 First responders.

00:08:34.420 Thank you, sir.

00:08:35.320 We appreciate it.

00:08:35.900 Thank you very much.

00:08:40.100 Thank you very much.

00:08:41.040 Do you like it again?

00:08:50.800 Okay.

00:08:52.760 Okay.

00:09:00.800 You're not gonna get me.

00:09:02.080 Thank you.

00:09:02.320 Thank you.

00:09:03.500 Thank you.

00:09:04.300 You're awesome.

00:09:04.780 Not great.

00:09:04.860 Okay.

00:09:06.520 Okay.

00:09:06.580 Okay.

00:09:07.020 I would like to thank you very much.

00:09:35.880 My husband and his brothers and for what you do for the country, and making this so very special for them and for all the people to come. It's a club you never want to be in, but you honor them, and it just means the world. Thank you. Thank you for everything.

00:09:56.600 Thank you.

00:09:58.600 Appreciate it.

00:10:00.600 Thank you.

00:10:02.600 I viewed my dad as Superman. Someone my whole life you look up to. He's an amazing guy.

00:10:24.600 It's horrible that this happened to all three families, but I'm glad that something was done about it, and we got represented, and everyone in the future will be. So thank you.

00:10:40.600 Thank you very much.

00:10:42.600 I'd be very proud of you.

00:10:46.600 Thank you.

00:10:48.600 Thank you very much.

00:10:50.600 Thank you very much.

00:10:52.600 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:10:54.600 Thank you very much.

00:10:56.600 Thank you very much.

00:10:58.600 Thank you very much.

00:11:08.600 Thank you very much.

00:11:10.600 Thank you very much.

00:11:20.600 Thank you very much.

00:11:46.600 President, on behalf of Sheriff Bradshaw and every member of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office,

00:11:50.480 we can't thank you enough for taking the lead on this and recognizing the extreme sacrifice of our three brothers.

00:11:59.620 Words really can't express how thankful we are.

00:12:02.300 Thank you very much.

00:12:04.200 And we have a fourth, and we're going to give this to you.

00:12:08.520 Hopefully it's maybe never going to be given out, so we'll give it to Sheriff Bradshaw, who's an incredible sheriff.

00:12:14.120 And you've done an amazing job, and we'll have it should something happen.

00:12:21.020 And that's right here, okay?

00:12:22.380 Yes, sir. Thank you.

00:12:23.340 And I hope it never has to be given up, frankly.

00:12:28.760 Thank you very much.

00:12:30.160 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:12:31.340 Thank you very much.

00:12:32.520 Mr. President.

00:12:33.640 Well, thank you. Do you have any questions for what you just saw?

00:12:38.160 They're so important. I mean, people have talked about it for years.

00:12:40.940 I want to thank Brian Mass for what he's done, Congressman.

00:12:44.580 He's been unbelievable.

00:12:47.180 He's a great representative.

00:12:49.940 And he worked hard.

00:12:52.540 He wanted to do it right.

00:12:54.160 And we wanted to go somehow.

00:12:55.580 We could get him done pretty easily in one way, but we wouldn't get him done by Tiffany.

00:13:00.900 And the fact that the Arnaud family stepped up was absolutely incredible.

00:13:06.460 It means more.

00:13:07.860 When you get a name like that, I think it means something extra.

00:13:12.640 But these were incredible people, and they're looking down on you right now, and they're very, very proud.

00:13:17.760 Very, very proud of all of you.

00:13:19.180 And it's too bad we had to be doing this, but I was there with you that day.

00:13:26.660 That was a rough day.

00:13:28.660 Thank you very much.

00:13:30.400 Would you have any questions?

00:13:32.000 Yeah.

00:13:32.820 Mr. President, do you have plans to give this award to any other families possibly to find themselves in the same position as having made this sacrifice?

00:13:43.280 And then after the test, one question about your response back.

00:13:45.380 Having to do from a previous, we're looking at the possibility of that, yeah.

00:13:50.740 You had a lot of people.

00:13:51.920 A lot of people die in the line of duty when you think of it.

00:13:55.580 And we figured it was time to start.

00:13:57.560 We haven't had the situation arise.

00:13:59.820 This was a terrible situation.

00:14:01.240 We haven't had it arise yet, but we're looking at going back a little bit and see what we can do about that.

00:14:08.280 Yes, strongly.

00:14:10.220 Yeah, go ahead.

00:14:10.680 And on your call with President Putin today, you'd mentioned that the Pope would like to take a role, potentially, in mediating these talks.

00:14:19.600 Does that mean that the U.S. is taking a step back from...

00:14:22.680 No, no, no.

00:14:23.440 I think it would be great to have it at the Vatican.

00:14:25.560 Maybe it would have some extra significance.

00:14:27.400 And I saw that it was discussed yesterday, so I thought...

00:14:32.180 And people told me that they'd be honored to do it.

00:14:34.540 I would imagine they would be.

00:14:36.660 So, no, I think it would be maybe helpful.

00:14:39.940 There's tremendous bitterness, anger.

00:14:43.220 And I think maybe that could help some of that anger.

00:14:45.600 So, having it at the Vatican would be, in Rome, would be a very...

00:14:51.260 I think it would be a great idea.

00:14:52.460 Thank you.

00:14:53.300 Mr. President...

00:14:54.140 Mr. President, as you know...

00:14:54.980 First off, can I say...

00:14:55.740 Go ahead.

00:14:56.200 Mr. President, as you know, two and a half months ago, Ukraine, President Zelensky agreed to that 30-day ceasefire that's been on the table all of that time.

00:15:05.680 What was the extent of your conversation with President Putin today about having him agree to that same 30-day ceasefire proposal that you, Mr. President, put on the table?

00:15:16.840 Well, what we've done, and very strongly, is we said, let's get this thing going.

00:15:20.760 You know, I had many of the leaders of European nations on the line with me right after the call.

00:15:28.240 And we have to get that thing solved.

00:15:30.680 5,000 young people every single week, on average.

00:15:35.640 And I've seen satellite pictures.

00:15:37.780 You don't want to see these pictures.

00:15:39.920 We'll have to see what happens.

00:15:41.960 This was not my war.

00:15:43.260 This is not a war that would have happened if I were president.

00:15:45.680 This is not my war.

00:15:48.180 I'm just here to try and help.

00:15:50.320 We've spent hundreds of billions of dollars on this war.

00:15:54.880 And yet, that's not, frankly, we made much more than that just in four days in the Middle East.

00:16:03.860 It's a lot of money, but we do much.

00:16:07.140 This is about thousands of people dying every single week.

00:16:11.240 5,000, 6,000 people dying every single week.

00:16:15.000 And just like you have the relatives here, wives and children and everything, you have, you know, these soldiers, they say goodbye in Ukraine and in Russia.

00:16:27.100 And then their parents never see them again, except maybe in pictures of horrible scenes, because I've seen some scenes I've never seen anything like.

00:16:33.840 So we're going to see if we can get it taken care of.

00:16:36.580 Yeah, please.

00:16:37.000 First of all, thanks to the members of law enforcement who are here, and our condolences to the families.

00:16:41.520 We're very sorry for your loss.

00:16:43.540 Mr. President, on Ukraine and on your call today that you had with President Putin, you said last week that you thought nothing was going to happen, no advances would be made until you and Putin got together.

00:16:52.700 Do you still feel that way?

00:16:53.860 I think something's going to happen.

00:16:56.860 It's a very, very big egos involved, I tell you.

00:17:00.960 Big egos involved, but I think something's going to happen.

00:17:04.880 And if it doesn't, I just back away and they're going to have to keep going.

00:17:08.620 Again, this was a European situation.

00:17:12.380 It should have remained a European situation.

00:17:15.120 Should have remained.

00:17:16.160 But we have, because the past administration felt very strongly that we should be involved, that we got involved much more than Europe did in terms of the money and all of the things that we gave.

00:17:27.500 We gave massive amounts, I think record-setting amounts given to a foreign. 1.00

00:17:32.100 There's never been anything like this, both weaponry and money.

00:17:36.580 And Europe gave a lot also, but they didn't give anywhere near what we gave.

00:17:40.120 We gave probably almost three times the amount.

00:17:44.460 And it's just a shame.

00:17:46.180 The whole thing is a shame.

00:17:47.300 The level of death is just a shame.

00:17:50.720 Did you ask President Putin to meet with you?

00:17:53.480 About what?

00:17:54.460 About Ukraine.

00:17:55.800 Of course I did.

00:17:56.600 I talked to him about it.

00:17:57.680 I said, when are we going to end this, Vladimir?

00:17:59.400 I've known him for a long time now.

00:18:01.640 I said, when are we going to end this bloodshed, this bloodbath?

00:18:05.460 It's a bloodbath.

00:18:06.440 And I do believe he wants to end it.

00:18:10.140 You know, when I made the call, I told the people last night, I spoke to the heads of the different countries, Germany and Finland.

00:18:17.040 We had Italy, as you know, and the U.K. was on the line today, and a couple of others.

00:18:25.080 And then they were, in turn, calling everyone.

00:18:28.620 Ursula was there from the European Union.

00:18:31.740 She was terrific.

00:18:33.580 And we, you know, we spoke for a long time about it.

00:18:37.380 And they got a problem.

00:18:40.180 It's a big, big problem.

00:18:42.160 It's a terrible war.

00:18:43.860 It's very hard to extradite themselves away from what's taken place over there.

00:18:50.840 The amount of anger, the amount of hate, and the amount of death.

00:18:54.840 It's very hard.

00:18:55.780 Very tough situation.

00:18:57.060 But I said to him, we've got to get going.

00:18:58.800 And I did say also, if I thought that you couldn't do it, I'd step away.

00:19:04.640 Because what are you going to do?

00:19:06.380 We don't have boots on the ground.

00:19:07.820 We wouldn't have boots on the ground.

00:19:09.580 But we do have a big stake.

00:19:11.640 And the financial amount that was put up is just crazy.

00:19:16.680 It's crazy.

00:19:17.520 This isn't for us.

00:19:18.900 This is for somebody else.

00:19:20.400 The amount of money that we put up is record-setting.

00:19:24.460 There's never been anything like this.

00:19:25.800 And that includes weapons.

00:19:27.840 Never been anything like this.

00:19:29.020 Young, please. 0.55

00:19:29.640 Mr. President, on the medal, how far back do you intend to look to consider for the recipients?

00:19:35.340 And then on your call today, if Putin ultimately proves to be the obstacle to peace, is further

00:19:41.420 arming Ukraine on the table at that point?

00:19:43.740 Well, we'll look.

00:19:44.400 I mean, we're going to look.

00:19:45.180 I hope that I like to think positively, frankly.

00:19:47.940 I just can't believe that they allow this to continue.

00:19:50.920 This would have never happened if our president, and most people admit that.

00:19:54.260 And it didn't happen for four years.

00:19:56.980 And October 7th would have never happened either.

00:19:59.280 That's the attack on Israel. 0.90

00:20:02.000 That would have never happened.

00:20:03.900 So sad.

00:20:04.480 A lot of things wouldn't have happened.

00:20:05.840 But so sad to see it.

00:20:07.840 Now, I think that there's a good chance we can get this done.

00:20:12.200 I believe Putin wants to do it.

00:20:13.620 Now, if I thought Putin didn't want, I mean, that's what I'd do.

00:20:16.040 My whole life is like deals, one big deal.

00:20:19.420 And if I thought that President Putin did not want to get this over with, I wouldn't even

00:20:25.380 be talking about it, because I'd just pull out.

00:20:28.180 What did you hear that gave you confidence that he does want peace versus buying time?

00:20:32.740 I think he's had enough.

00:20:36.940 I think he's had enough.

00:20:37.920 This has been a long time.

00:20:38.820 This has been going on for more than three years, when you think, right?

00:20:43.220 It's been going on for a long time.

00:20:44.620 Yeah, please.

00:20:45.320 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:20:46.340 When you implored him to stop previously, Vladimir Stop, on social media, and he didn't.

00:20:53.820 He just continued.

00:20:54.740 I'm curious.

00:20:55.220 Did you bring that up with him in your phone call today?

00:20:58.160 I think you have to talk about it.

00:20:59.300 Sorry.

00:20:59.720 You previously, on True Social, implored President Putin to stop.

00:21:03.600 You wrote Vladimir Stop, and he didn't stop.

00:21:05.920 Quite the contrary.

00:21:07.120 I'm curious.

00:21:07.620 Did you bring that up on your call with him today?

00:21:10.080 No.

00:21:10.560 No, I didn't bring that up.

00:21:12.220 But I did say, it's time.

00:21:13.980 You've got to stop this thing.

00:21:15.140 And I believe he wants to stop.

00:21:17.320 Look, I would be, I think, very able to tell whether or not he wanted to or would.

00:21:21.960 I thought there was a very good chance, like a 50-50 chance, that he would say,

00:21:27.100 I want to take the whole thing.

00:21:29.560 I didn't know what he was going to say.

00:21:31.800 And then they have a different kind of a problem.

00:21:34.160 But I believe he wants to stop.

00:21:35.800 Pretty sure.

00:21:36.440 You've got a voice just now about backing away or walking away,

00:21:40.120 if it looks like it's going to be an intractable problem.

00:21:42.360 Do you have a red line in your head of what would cause you to back away?

00:21:46.280 Yeah, in my head, but not something I'm going to announce.

00:21:48.620 But yeah, definitely in my head I do.

00:21:50.360 Do you know exactly what that was like?

00:21:51.160 Because this is in our war.

00:21:52.320 This is not my war.

00:21:54.080 This is not the war.

00:21:55.360 I mean, we got ourselves entangled in something that we shouldn't have been involved in.

00:21:59.820 And we would have been a lot better off.

00:22:01.300 And maybe the whole thing would have been better off, because it can't be much worse.

00:22:05.060 It's a real mess.

00:22:05.920 It's a death trap.

00:22:07.620 So I think that, yeah, I would say I do have a certain line.

00:22:13.060 But I don't want to say what that line is,

00:22:14.920 because I think it makes the negotiation even more difficult than it is.

00:22:18.660 Yes, please.

00:22:19.120 Mr. President, thank you all for your sacrifice.

00:22:22.000 I'm so sorry for your loss.

00:22:24.040 You mentioned the bloodbath you want to see end in Ukraine. 0.99

00:22:27.620 You mentioned that you believe Putin wants peace, but he just attacked Ukraine yesterday.

00:22:34.640 So what makes you think that he wants peace?

00:22:36.580 Well, he's in a war.

00:22:37.580 You know, I mean, nobody said don't.

00:22:40.220 They're fighting.

00:22:41.260 They're attacking.

00:22:41.960 They're attacking each other.

00:22:43.780 And people are dying all the time.

00:22:45.720 He's in a war.

00:22:46.380 He's fighting a war.

00:22:47.400 Nobody said he was going to stop.

00:22:49.060 I think, is it terrible?

00:22:50.080 Yeah, it's terrible.

00:22:50.960 I do.

00:22:51.520 I think it's terrible.

00:22:52.820 Can you wait until President Biden was diagnosed on the campus of the war,

00:22:56.860 and then I'm going to ask you about reconciliation?

00:22:58.820 Why haven't you increased the sanctions on Russia yet?

00:23:03.100 Well, because I think there's a chance of getting something done.

00:23:05.820 And if you do that, you can also make it much worse.

00:23:09.440 But there could be a time when that's going to happen.

00:23:11.840 Yep.

00:23:12.460 Mr. President, with the ratings down rate from-

00:23:16.860 Do you want to respond to President Biden being diagnosed with cancer?

00:23:19.540 Are you going to call your predecessor?

00:23:22.860 I think it's very sad, actually.

00:23:24.980 I'm surprised that it wasn't, you know, the public wasn't notified a long time ago,

00:23:31.220 because to get to stage nine, that's a long time.

00:23:34.040 I just had my physical.

00:23:35.520 You saw that.

00:23:36.080 You saw the results of that particular test.

00:23:38.020 I think that test is standard to pretty much anybody getting a physical, good physical.

00:23:44.960 We had the doctors at the White House and over at Walter Reed, which is a fantastic hospital.

00:23:50.620 I do it.

00:23:51.800 I did a very complete physical, including cognitive tests.

00:23:54.820 I'm proud to announce.

00:23:55.640 I aced it.

00:23:56.560 Got them all.

00:23:57.040 I got them all right.

00:23:58.420 You proud of me?

00:23:59.180 Yes.

00:23:59.540 Your husband would be proud of me for getting them all right.

00:24:02.100 It's a little risk.

00:24:02.840 If I didn't get them all right, these people would be after me.

00:24:04.960 It would be not a good situation.

00:24:06.320 But I think, frankly, anybody running for president should, you know, take a cognitive test.

00:24:12.260 They say it's unconstitutional.

00:24:13.780 But I would say in that particular case, having a cognitive test wouldn't be so bad.

00:24:18.540 But when you take tests, medical, as a male, that test is very standard.

00:24:28.140 I don't know if it's given to everybody, but it's given just about.

00:24:30.860 And it takes a long time to get to that situation.

00:24:35.000 Now, I think, you know, to get to a stage nine, I think that if you take a look, it's the same doctor that said that Joe was cognitively fine.

00:24:44.880 There was nothing wrong with him.

00:24:46.200 Well, he said, if it's the same doctor, he said there was nothing wrong there.

00:24:50.240 And that's being proven to be a sad situation.

00:24:53.860 And the auto pen is becoming a very big deal.

00:24:56.460 You know, the auto pen is becoming a big deal because it seems like that maybe was the president who ever operated the auto pen.

00:25:02.540 But when they say that that was not good, they also, you know, you have to look and you have to say that the test was not so good either.

00:25:10.220 In other words, there are things going on that the public wasn't informed.

00:25:13.980 And I think somebody is going to have to speak to his doctor if it's the same or even if it's two separate doctors.

00:25:18.460 Why wasn't the cognitive ability?

00:25:23.500 Why wasn't that discussed?

00:25:25.300 And I think the doctor said he's just fine.

00:25:27.760 And it's turned out that's not so.

00:25:30.480 It's very dangerous.

00:25:31.380 Look, this is no longer politically correct.

00:25:33.560 This is dangerous for our country.

00:25:35.020 Look at the mess when you're talking about all these questions on Ukraine and Russia that would have never happened.

00:25:40.220 As an example, if I were president, it would have never happened.

00:25:42.720 The other thing is you have to say, why did it take so long?

00:25:46.180 I mean, when you this this takes a long time, can take years to get to this level of danger.

00:25:52.640 So it's a it's a look.

00:25:53.800 It's a very, very sad situation.

00:25:55.840 I feel very badly about it.

00:25:58.180 And I think people should try and find out what happened, because I'll tell you, the Walt.

00:26:03.800 I don't know if it had anything to do with the hospital.

00:26:05.620 Walter Reed is really good.

00:26:07.700 They're some of the best doctors I've ever seen.

00:26:09.780 I don't even know if they were involved, but a doctor was involved in each case.

00:26:14.560 Maybe it was the same doctor and somebody is not telling the facts.

00:26:19.220 It's a big that's a big problem.

00:26:23.220 I'd rather tell you in about two weeks from now, because I can't say yes or no.

00:26:37.920 I think, look, he's a strong person.

00:26:43.000 Zelensky is a strong guy and he's not the easiest person to deal with.

00:26:48.520 But I think that he wants to stop.

00:26:52.880 He's not it's a it's a very bad it's very it's a very bad thing that's happening over there.

00:26:58.700 I think he wants to stop.

00:26:59.660 But I could answer that question better in two weeks or four weeks from now.

00:27:03.440 I hope the answer is that he wants to get it solved.

00:27:06.700 I want to thank everybody very much.

00:27:08.260 And on behalf of the United States of America, we greatly honor your family and your friends and everybody that had to suffer so much.

00:27:16.840 But you have some three great men that are looking down on you and they're they're very proud right now.

00:27:23.320 They're very proud.

00:27:24.080 This is the Oval Office and they're a big part of it now.

00:27:28.640 They're a part of the Oval Office, the White House.

00:27:30.980 And thank you all very much.

00:27:32.600 Thank you.

00:27:33.060 Thank you, Sheriff.

00:27:34.040 Thank you very much, everybody.

00:27:35.880 Thank you.

00:27:36.380 That is President of the United States.

00:27:46.260 We have a word that they put on Eric Trump and some others.

00:27:53.060 Congressman Mast, others came up with for first responders there in the line of duty.

00:28:00.420 Very, very moving.

00:28:01.520 The families were there.

00:28:02.380 And President Trump said he's going to look at these posthumously, too.

00:28:04.780 We've got a great cold open.

00:28:05.900 I think I'm going to hold that for right now.

00:28:07.580 Do I have Mike Howell?

00:28:09.280 OK.

00:28:09.740 Do I have Mike Davis?

00:28:11.680 Let's go ahead and play the cold open.

00:28:13.100 Let's go ahead, Denver.

00:28:13.940 While we're getting guys up, let's go ahead and let it rip. 0.88

00:28:15.800 We just heard the President of the United States take a press avail.

00:28:17.780 Let's go to the cold open for the war room.

00:28:21.740 And breaking news to bring you right now, the Supreme Court giving the Trump administration the green light to terminate temporary protected status for about 350,000 Venezuelans.

00:28:30.620 That means no more protection from deportation and allowing them to work legally in the U.S.

00:28:36.360 Lawyers representing the government argue a lower court decision undermined the executive branch and its authority over immigration and foreign affairs.

00:28:44.100 And the conservative majority on the court agreed.

00:28:47.940 Our immigration reporter and producer, Armando Garcia, joining me now.

00:28:51.420 So these protections, they're over.

00:28:53.620 So what comes next?

00:28:54.720 Can they still appeal?

00:28:56.360 Or are deportations coming now?

00:28:58.760 Look, that's exactly what 350,000 Venezuelans are asking themselves right at this moment.

00:29:06.020 They're asking whether or not am I still here in this country legally and perhaps most importantly for their families?

00:29:11.400 Am I still able to work legally in this country and provide for my family?

00:29:15.480 They don't know.

00:29:16.300 We got to remember that on the way out the door, the Biden administration chose to extend TPS protections for Venezuelans.

00:29:22.100 When the Trump administration came into office, they eliminated that extension.

00:29:26.040 That meant suddenly that hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who thought they were going to be protected from deportation,

00:29:31.260 who thought that they were going to be able to work legally in this country until October 2026,

00:29:35.340 some of them lost their status in April.

00:29:37.700 Others are set to lose their status in September.

00:29:39.800 Right now, I'm sure they're wondering what exactly comes next.

00:29:43.660 So you had a chance to speak with a lawyer representing TPS holders in the case.

00:29:48.340 What did they tell you?

00:29:50.780 And look, this is moving on so quickly.

00:29:53.440 We're actually expecting to hear from the lawyers any minute now in a press conference.

00:29:57.000 I did speak with one of the main litigators representing TPS holders in this case.

00:30:00.940 And here's what he said.

00:30:01.940 I thought this was a very stunning quote.

00:30:03.280 He said, this is the largest single action stripping any group of non-citizens of immigration status in modern U.S. history.

00:30:10.740 That the Supreme Court authorizes action in a two-paragraph order with no reasoning is truly shocking.

00:30:15.800 And I think we have to remember also that not only is TPS Venezuela on the line, TPS Haiti, Cameroon, and other countries are sure to follow.

00:30:24.900 So this is major implications for them.

00:30:27.120 They're wondering if the Trump administration can on a whim abruptly end protections for Venezuelans.

00:30:31.800 What does that mean for me?

00:30:33.600 Armando Garcia, appreciate you bringing us the breaking news.

00:30:36.340 We are following breaking news just coming into the newsroom right now.

00:30:40.120 A federal judge found the Trump administration's takeover of the U.S. Institute of Peace is null and void after determining that Doge's actions were unlawful.

00:30:51.320 So let's bring in CBS News Department of Justice correspondent Scott McFarlane.

00:30:55.260 This just coming in just a few moments ago, can you break it down for us?

00:31:00.420 What did the judge say?

00:31:01.220 A 100-page ruling from Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C., and one page is more blistering and scathing than the previous one.

00:31:11.020 She says that this whole takeover of the U.S. Institute of Peace, the firing of board members, the takeover of the building space, is null and void.

00:31:20.940 She calls it an overreach, a usurpation of federal authorities, and a misuse of power by the Trump administration.

00:31:29.060 This is an institute that helps exert soft power across the world using means to diplomatically or, and through other means, secure peace, to end war, to end strife.

00:31:41.460 But this is also something the Trump administration has had on its Department of Government Efficiency hit list to downsize or reduce to save money.

00:31:50.620 As of now, Judge Beryl Howell says the plans are off and the reorganization is no more.

00:31:56.280 So, Scott, the outcome of this particular ruling, I mean, this isn't the only department that DOGE has, frankly, come in and just cleaned house and cut so much of the program.

00:32:09.740 Is this going to have an impact on other potential cases involving DOGE and its cuts?

00:32:15.200 Oh, it sure could.

00:32:15.960 And you can see these other institutions, these other organizations and agencies making the same argument, that Congress shares or has more jurisdiction over the agency than the president or the administration do.

00:32:27.300 And therefore, this DOGE effort to cut costs or cut agencies is unlawful.

00:32:32.520 And as I'm reading from the opinion here, this lengthy opinion from Judge Howell, she uses the word unlawful a couple dozen times.

00:32:39.600 And in perhaps the most telling excerpt of this ruling, she says this not only represents a misuse of power and a way of conducting government affairs,

00:32:48.680 but was unnecessarily traumatizing to the committed leadership and employees of the Institute of Peace, who she says deserve better.

00:32:56.540 Kind of underscoring the overall issue here, which this is not just about agencies, but about the federal workers impacted by the downsides.

00:33:03.760 Scott McFarland, thank you so much for that breaking news.

00:33:08.360 Traumatizing.

00:33:08.980 I don't want to say that's the point of the exercise.

00:33:11.540 Mike Davis, Barrow Howell, one of your favorites, Julie Kelly's definite favorite, on a rampage on the same day the Supreme Court backs the taking away the special status of Venezuelans.

00:33:23.740 I'm starting to get more and more confused about the corn fused about the Supreme Court. 0.55

00:33:27.900 So make this all make sense to me, sir.

00:33:30.680 Well, let's get this straight.

00:33:32.240 If the president of the United States can't fire in an executive branch employee because a judge says that an agency doesn't really report to the executive branch, reports to both.

00:33:47.160 No, no, no, no, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, she says it's unlawful for the president and his chief executive to fire.

00:33:54.520 She uses unlawful, what, 50 times in a hundred page scathing opinion, sir? 0.51

00:33:59.760 And that's the point.

00:34:01.040 So if the president can't fire this executive branch board, then it's not constitutional.

00:34:09.060 Because if this is set up where this board somehow kind of reports to the executive branch and kind of reports to the legislative branch and then kind of reports to nonprofit leaders and people on the outside, that's not constitutional.

00:34:26.620 That's not how our system works.

00:34:28.600 Congress can create these federal agencies, but they report to the president of the United States he has the executive power under Article II of the Constitution.

00:34:40.000 That is all executive power.

00:34:42.220 And if the president does not have the power to fire executive branch agency heads, that agency is unconstitutional.

00:34:50.820 On this Barrow House, she's trying to get this to basically go into all these different departments. 0.99

00:34:58.960 What do you think this happens?

00:34:59.820 Do you think it goes immediately to the appellate court in D.C. who will rubber stamp it?

00:35:04.440 And then what happens?

00:35:05.820 I mean, it's going to go to the D.C. circuit.

00:35:07.760 You're going to see the D.C. circuits doing clownish things because it's the Obama-stacked and Biden-stacked D.C. circuit.

00:35:15.780 This is going to have to go to the Supreme Court.

00:35:17.360 Again, look, there is recourse.

00:35:21.300 If you are a fired executive branch employee and you think that your firing was unlawful, you go to the Merit Systems Protection Board.

00:35:33.080 If you are a fired federal contractor, you go to the court of federal claims.

00:35:39.200 You don't go to a Democrat activist judge like Beryl Howell and have her order that the president of the United States can't fire you or run the executive branch. 1.00

00:35:51.360 Remember, the executive order is very clear.

00:35:54.940 President Trump is saying to the Institute of Peace and these other agencies through DOGE, he's saying, take this down to the bare bones, which is required by statute.

00:36:06.080 President Trump understands he can't just overturn a statute that says that something has to exist.

00:36:14.220 But just because the statute says something has to exist, it could be a lean organization.

00:36:19.440 It doesn't have to be an obese organization.

00:36:21.700 And so he is getting it down as lean as he can, as lean as required by the statute.

00:36:27.340 And that is absolutely within his Article II powers.

00:36:30.620 Supreme Court on the on the on the temporary status of the Venezuelans today, sir.

00:36:38.020 Yeah, so this was an eight to one decision where the Supreme Court said that after Biden unilaterally gave these Venezuelans special protections,

00:36:49.080 350,000 of them, including trendy Aragua foreign terrorist, President Trump can overturn that.

00:36:56.300 And these judges who are saying that the president did not have the power to do that, who tried to stay the president, just got beat eight to one at the Supreme Court.

00:37:05.300 Maybe just maybe the Supreme Court is starting to understand that they're going to lose their legitimacy if they try to stop the president of the United States from carrying out his electoral mandates to secure our border,

00:37:19.860 to deport these illegal aliens, all of whom are criminals, and in particular, expel trendy Aragua foreign terrorists. 0.89

00:37:27.320 You saw the Supreme Court punt the trendy Aragua case back to the Fifth Circuit and just tell the Fifth Circuit 24 hours isn't enough and enough notice.

00:37:37.060 I think the Supreme Court understands that there is going to be an explosive political blowback if they try to stop the president of the United States from securing our border

00:37:48.080 and getting these illegal aliens the hell out of our country. 1.00

00:37:52.420 Mike Davis, where do people go for Article III in your social media?

00:37:57.100 Article3project.org, Article3project.org.

00:37:59.880 You can follow us on social media, donate, but only what you can afford, but take action, the superpower of the war room posse.

00:38:07.260 And thank you, Steve.

00:38:08.640 You're a human agency.

00:38:10.160 Thank you, and thank you for sticking around.

00:38:11.700 A little convoluted today.

00:38:12.820 We went to the Oval Office to hear the president.

00:38:15.540 Thank you, sir.

00:38:16.180 And Mike Howell, from the president we heard, correct me if I'm wrong, I think he wants somebody to investigate this entire Biden situation,

00:38:25.640 and Walter Reed, the cancer, the, you know, the thing about the her tapes, all of it.

00:38:33.900 What say you, sir?

00:38:35.720 I think he's wanted that for a long time.

00:38:37.860 When we first released the auto pen scandal, which has only grown and taken over,

00:38:42.660 he reacted to it and said that the pardons that Schiff and company received were null and void.

00:38:47.760 So we're all sitting here waiting on the Department of Justice to prosecute those criminals and to, you know, fulfill the mandate of actual accountability.

00:38:56.280 I don't know how many more times President Trump can weigh in on one aspect or another of this,

00:39:01.460 and to have, to see the other departments and agencies not take action is frustrating.

00:39:06.460 Hopefully they're building the case.

00:39:07.840 We know that pardon the attorney, Ed Martin, that's publicly announced he'll do it, and we hope others join him.

00:39:13.540 We've got to get the ball moving because the clock is ticking, particularly if President Biden is as sick as he says he is.

00:39:19.600 We need his testimony.

00:39:21.200 He needs to be interviewed about his role in this and who he allowed or didn't allow to basically run the White House into the ground for four years and destroy so many lives.

00:39:30.260 Mike Howell, as he often does, went there.

00:39:33.660 Exactly my point.

00:39:34.760 Hit rewind on that.

00:39:35.900 You're saying we understand the man has, you know, advanced cancer.

00:39:41.060 This is obviously a horrible situation for his family.

00:39:44.440 However, comma, he needs to be deposed under oath about everything that went on.

00:39:51.120 Does he not, sir?

00:39:52.820 That's absolutely.

00:39:53.720 No one in this country wants President Biden to stay alive longer than I do in the oversight project because his testimony is required.

00:40:01.300 We need to understand who he allowed or didn't allow to run the White House for those four years because those are also the people that need to be held accountable.

00:40:10.480 And it's for a variety of crimes, the mass deprivation of civil rights that was underway, the flooding of this border with criminal illegals and others who killed Americans, the people they put in jail, people with cancer like the January 6th misdemeanor defendants.

00:40:24.840 We need that information, and so we hope President Biden stays healthy long enough to be able to answer those questions we all need answered.

00:40:33.720 What would be – so some people are saying the House ought to do it, but that rules out the House.

00:40:38.320 What are you specifically recommending since this goes above and beyond Congress?

00:40:42.860 Are you recommending DOJ, the D.C. attorney, judge – you know, the D.C. attorney?

00:40:52.160 Do you recommend Ed Martin in the working task force, FBI, Kash Patel, Dan Borgino?

00:40:59.900 Who would you actually recommend?

00:41:02.020 So it would be the Department of Justice prosecuting someone.

00:41:04.680 That's likely Judge Jeanine here in D.C.

00:41:06.800 Or depending – if you go after Jim Biden, who I think makes the best case and is the legally strongest one because he got a fake pardon.

00:41:13.540 That might be Delaware or wherever Jim Biden is located.

00:41:16.080 I do not know.

00:41:17.260 But Ed Martin can do a great job reviewing what happened in the pardon office.

00:41:21.220 Congress can do a great job getting factual testimony out there.

00:41:24.680 But ultimately, someone needs to be prosecuted.

00:41:27.280 Adam Schiff is another one.

00:41:28.740 And I told that to Adam Schiff's face right before he ran out of the Senate hearing room.

00:41:32.440 But we need these people to be prosecuted.

00:41:34.580 Enough talking about it.

00:41:35.720 The president has asked, has said publicly over and over and over again, it's time for people to do what he's laid out.

00:41:42.460 And the facts are clear.

00:41:44.380 I mean, these people committed crimes.

00:41:45.900 They accepted bogus pardons.

00:41:47.440 Let's charge them. 0.91

00:41:48.860 And let's try to see them defend these bogus pardons. 0.51

00:41:51.640 And in doing so, figure out who actually was running the White House because it certainly wasn't Joe Biden.

00:41:58.260 You think the cover-up all comes from that?

00:42:00.400 Go to the pardons first.

00:42:01.400 That sounds like it would be Judge Jeanine Pirro. 1.00

00:42:04.220 So the pardons come first.

00:42:05.640 And in the pardons, you find out both the cover-up on his mental acuity and also the cover-up of this cancer.

00:42:12.980 Because you've got to get to Walter.

00:42:14.140 You've got to find out why.

00:42:15.140 So your angle of attack would be that?

00:42:18.000 Yeah.

00:42:18.320 That's the primary one.

00:42:19.460 But there's so many others that need to be underway.

00:42:21.700 Republicans have, you know, been played for fools like they always are.

00:42:24.980 They're out here celebrating special counsel her and saying that special counsel her was correct.

00:42:30.040 Just like they did when he first, you know, made public his report where he said the obvious, that Biden wasn't in command.

00:42:37.060 Her needs to be under investigation for his cover-up.

00:42:39.400 If you listen to the audio, it is very clear he wasn't even considering prosecuting Biden.

00:42:44.540 It was about letting him off the hook.

00:42:46.280 He didn't get the birder phones and e-mails to figure out what Biden and Hunter and others were doing with the classified information.

00:42:54.560 He basically issued a report that basically said, we found boxes of things.

00:42:58.340 Here's where they are.

00:42:59.520 Biden's old.

00:43:00.240 Case is closed.

00:43:01.200 So, no, the cover-up I heard needs to be investigated.

00:43:04.700 But, again, Republicans don't seem to understand that.

00:43:07.840 They also don't seem to understand that they're doing Jake Tapper and his business partner at Axios, Alex Thompson, a huge favor by letting them monetize their cover-up via the promotion of their book.

00:43:20.560 Axios and CNN are part of the problem.

00:43:22.500 They need to be held accountable.

00:43:23.620 We're opening an investigation to make sure that Axios is shut out of any communication with press officers across the country because those people were part of the cover-up.

00:43:33.920 Hey, Mike.

00:43:34.840 Mike Howell, Dave Brad here.

00:43:36.180 Great job on this.

00:43:37.900 You just kind of went where I was going.

00:43:39.780 The New York Times has a piece out today on the cohorts, the fighting cohorts within the Republican budget brawl.

00:43:46.980 But if you were going to categorize all the feuding cohorts within the Biden regime, I mean, there was Jill and Jr. grabbing money, $10 million from China in their hands.

00:43:58.720 Who are the other major cohorts or major groups that you would call attention to, you know, that are just, when there's no adult in the room, everyone's just grabbing cash from the cash jar?

00:44:10.900 Yeah, I think Obama world weighed heavy.

00:44:14.380 We've seen Eric Holder and Susan Rice amassed tremendous power.

00:44:17.880 They're kind of the connective tissue between corporate America and, you know, globalists.

00:44:22.180 And that's, I imagine, where those interests were expressed.

00:44:26.200 A lot of things that relates to, you know, the Ukraine war, which essentially is a giant money laundering scheme and people have gotten rich off it.

00:44:33.760 I think there's also elements of the progressive wing trying to, you know, pick up their scraps there.

00:44:38.820 And so we're going to come to find that it may not be a singular person who is acting as the president, but, you know, committees and buying influences over there that were ultimately pushing this thing, which, whatever we're calling the White House, in the direction that it went.

00:44:53.640 Right, right.

00:44:55.420 Mike, where do people go, social media and where do they go to your investigative site, sir?

00:45:00.420 We're at It's Your Gov.

00:45:01.680 That's because it's your government and people forget that the government works for us.

00:45:05.140 Our website's It'sYourGov.org, X handles It's Your Gov.

00:45:08.280 If you want to support our work, we would love it.

00:45:10.340 We've got a lot of people to sue, a lot of documents to get out, and we could certainly use your help as a brand new organization.

00:45:17.220 Mike Howell, thank you.

00:45:18.600 Great, great angle of attack.

00:45:19.860 So, Brett, in the Oval Office, the president of the United States essentially said we've got to have an investigation here, right?

00:45:28.000 Did I mishear that?

00:45:29.160 No, I love it.

00:45:30.140 You've been calling for it.

00:45:32.480 You know how the place works.

00:45:35.780 And I've been asking the same question.

00:45:38.260 Where's the president on all the other folks, the CIA, the FBI, the other day, Comey?

00:45:44.540 I wish, and he has been.

00:45:46.460 Trump's been calling him out, and it's just a dereliction of duty within the House of Representatives and the Senate.

00:45:53.660 The Senate, we forget to criticize as well, right?

00:45:55.920 The Senate just hides constantly under their desks. 0.80

00:45:59.160 But oversight, judiciary, they're all my friends there.

00:46:03.080 And at least come out to the press and say what's going on.

00:46:06.420 Give us the facts, right?

00:46:07.580 Just say why you're not doing anything.

00:46:09.140 We're so far beyond Comer and those guys, right?

00:46:11.780 You agree we can't go back down that road?

00:46:14.280 Yeah, well, I—

00:46:14.860 We went there for three years, and what did we get?

00:46:17.080 We got a crummy T-shirt.

00:46:18.520 I still want to put pressure on them.

00:46:20.340 I want their constituents to put pressure on them to explain why couldn't you do it?

00:46:24.320 Maybe they got a reason.

00:46:25.500 I don't know what it could be.

00:46:27.820 But please explain where the process stands from all you guys, right?

00:46:32.120 We've got to prosecute people and put them behind—

00:46:35.140 In economics, if you incentivize something, we've incentivized crime and war, and we're getting more of it.

00:46:40.940 If Ed Martin's gone, this is in Judge Jeanine's wheelhouse as D.C. attorney.

00:46:45.020 And that's great news.

00:49:46.460 There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States

00:49:49.780 that isn't getting enough attention.

00:49:51.620 The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland. 0.99

00:49:57.420 They're also taking control over critical supply chains,

00:50:00.540 things like fertilizer, animal feed, and farming equipment.

00:50:04.100 Why?

00:50:05.080 It's not clear.

00:50:06.640 They're tightening their grip on global food production.

00:50:10.120 That is clear.

00:51:28.000 Hear you, and we'll address more of these concerns.

00:51:31.500 So, like, I guess the question is, was it a final deal,

00:51:33.600 or was it, like, a deal to get through step one, step two,

00:51:36.360 and they keep thinking, at some point, you're going to go higher on the cuts

00:51:40.660 and, you know, make it tighter in terms of how much, you know,

00:51:45.600 you're going to add to the deficit?

00:51:47.140 Well, a couple things.

00:51:48.300 First of all, does the Freedom Caucus get rolled a lot?

00:51:52.240 Sometimes they're forced to swallow things they don't like.

00:51:54.600 They didn't run on.

00:51:55.500 Their constituents don't like.

00:51:57.180 It's part of Congress, and I get that.

00:51:59.240 And myself, Mike Johnson, others who are on the right,

00:52:03.920 always want more spending cuts because we want our government to be balanced.

00:52:07.660 We get that.

00:52:08.840 This, however, is a situation where early on in these committees,

00:52:12.060 there were 11 committees that came up with their individual sections,

00:52:14.900 chapters of a book, if you will,

00:52:16.660 and eight of those chapters were written until the first of last week

00:52:19.920 where the last three had to be written, and they were written as well.

00:52:22.240 So this entire thing has kind of been very transparent.

00:52:25.060 And in those meetings, to answer your question, no, we came to it has to be here at least

00:52:29.980 or we're not going to vote for it.

00:52:32.960 We beat or exceeded those expectations in pretty much every category.

00:52:39.500 The deficit still rises, but I'll let you respond.

00:52:42.460 By the way, President of the United States, 9 o'clock tomorrow morning,

00:52:46.180 he's going to be on Capitol Hill to address the conference.

00:52:48.840 I'm sure they'll have an open mic there.

00:52:51.540 So for Andy Harris, anybody who disagrees with him, it's, hey, I'm here to say,

00:52:56.100 you got any questions, he'll toss it out there.

00:52:58.220 We'll see who goes to the mic.

00:53:00.260 They say at the beginning, the Freedom Caucus gets rolled all the time.

00:53:03.520 They want to have these cuts, but eventually the pressure comes to get something passed,

00:53:07.380 does it not?

00:53:08.500 Yeah.

00:53:09.000 And that guy missed a couple of details, right?

00:53:13.020 The House Freedom Caucus does actually play team ball most of the time,

00:53:17.300 and they're too differential sometimes to this gross runaway spending, right?

00:53:20.880 We got $86 trillion in spending.

00:53:23.680 Is Mike Johnson a conservative when it comes to spending?

00:53:26.380 It doesn't look like any of them are right now.

00:53:28.040 Nothing personal, right?

00:53:29.440 It doesn't look like anyone's cutting it.

00:53:31.460 And I'm not going to go there.

00:53:33.360 When President Trump goes there tomorrow,

00:53:35.620 I hope the House Freedom Caucus and all the leaders have a chance to make one point really clear.

00:53:41.880 President Trump's the only person on the planet that has the ability to message in this way.

00:53:47.400 All the deals from the past are over, right?

00:53:49.780 The Speaker said, hey, we got to negotiate, right, these Medicaid deals,

00:53:54.120 these Green New Deals with the six senators, and that's going to take five or six years.

00:53:59.040 I don't see how that can be, right?

00:54:01.400 Maybe three, six months.

00:54:03.060 So that's off.

00:54:04.020 But we have addictions to a lot.

00:54:06.600 We have addictions to the Greenspan put to the Federal Reserve low interest rate regime

00:54:11.640 that's blown up our financial markets for decades now.

00:54:15.760 We're still paying the price for that.

00:54:17.540 We have addictions to China.

00:54:19.660 If business folks haven't learned their lesson right now, okay, I get it.

00:54:23.740 There's a transition period.

00:54:25.320 But if you've got supply chain problems in a year or two, well, then, you know,

00:54:29.500 seek out some young entrepreneurs to help you solve that problem.

00:54:32.540 We have addictions to green deals.

00:54:34.540 We've got six Republican senators.

00:54:36.920 They're all out on energy committees or out west with solar panel deals running all over the place.

00:54:42.820 Those are hugely expensive.

00:54:44.180 Dave Walsh has shown so they don't work.

00:54:46.380 There's no economic cost for it.

00:54:48.200 We're spending billions and billions on that.

00:54:49.960 We're addicted to Medicaid spending.

00:54:52.000 We have kids that are getting checks at home.

00:54:56.140 There are folks getting Medicaid checks,

00:54:58.560 and we want to check the addresses to make sure they're not going to illegal immigrants.

00:55:01.700 The Democrats, right, I'm giving my own side a little hard time here,

00:55:05.400 but the Democrats are never called to the carpet, right?

00:55:08.000 So I just, I hope President Trump makes that point as well.

00:55:11.580 We've got an in-house battle because we care about the soul of this country

00:55:14.760 and the spending patterns and going broke.

00:55:16.340 What is going to, Trump's going there at 9 o'clock tomorrow.

00:55:19.200 Yeah.

00:55:19.920 He's got to whip votes.

00:55:21.840 What is going to be his response to say, hey, we're with you,

00:55:24.660 but we don't like the fact that these structural cuts are in the second five years

00:55:28.360 and the deficits increase in the first five years.

00:55:30.740 What's President Trump's response going to be?

00:55:32.900 Well, I mean, President Trump's been going around the world ending wars

00:55:38.120 and doing great work in the Middle East, et cetera, across other regions.

00:55:42.520 And so I don't think he's got time.

00:55:44.200 I don't think he's probably been perfectly informed about the details in this bill.

00:55:48.860 So, like, I got a PhD in economics,

00:55:50.420 and I still get confused on the basic terminology, right?

00:55:52.740 When someone tells me there's a $1.5 trillion cut, I think it's a cut, right?

00:55:56.840 Just common sense.

00:55:57.980 You would be incorrect.

00:55:59.180 I'd be incorrect.

00:56:00.140 Yeah, I know.

00:56:00.940 The terminology is very, very, that's what you try to break down the odds.

00:56:03.860 Don't believe anything you first hear, nomenclature.

00:56:06.140 And the American people, they got the same gut feel, right?

00:56:08.420 If the Congress or your leaders tell you there's cuts,

00:56:11.020 that means spending is going to go down, there's cuts.

00:56:13.020 So that's true.

00:56:14.220 But then there's a tax bill and the scoring, and that gets all complex.

00:56:17.080 But the basic thing is we're going to spend $86 trillion in 10 years.

00:56:21.500 You're here as my wingman tomorrow.

00:56:23.160 The president's there at 9.

00:56:24.360 We're going to have live coverage.

00:56:25.440 It's going to be great.

00:56:26.780 What's your social media between now and then?

00:56:28.540 Yeah, just Brad Economics.

01:00:18.920 But about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.

01:00:31.780 So, unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.

01:00:41.840 So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements, and, of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.

01:00:50.700 For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.

01:00:59.560 And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.

01:01:12.780 So, we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com.

01:01:18.420 And cheers to your health!
