Transcript

00:00:00.000 In this great country, our system that was gifted to us by the framers of the Constitution
00:00:17.560 should be one where the people of Texas are able to decide which elected officials have
00:00:26.400 the ability and honor to represent them in Washington.
00:00:31.740 Instead, Republican politicians want to choose their voters.
00:00:40.040 That is wrong, and it will undermine the quality of life of the people of this great state.
00:00:49.120 It has been said in the early days of the Republic that when the people fear the government,
00:00:59.120 there is tyranny, but when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
00:01:07.140 So this fight is not over.
00:01:08.540 It's just beginning.
00:01:09.540 Yeah, it could make a huge difference.
00:01:11.680 This, in fact, could win or maintain control for the Republicans in the House of Representatives.
00:01:16.240 What are you talking about?
00:01:17.240 Well, Texas has 38 congressional districts.
00:01:19.200 Look at those that Trump won last year by at least 10 percentage points.
00:01:23.100 Under the current lines, it's 25.
00:01:25.120 Under the proposed lines, it's 30.
00:01:26.960 That's one, two, three, four, five.
00:01:29.340 Five potential pickup opportunities for the Republican Party.
00:01:33.000 They are playing hardball at this particular point, and right now it seems to me that Democrats
00:01:37.360 are actually playing close to the Little League peewee.
00:01:39.720 So five seats.
00:01:40.780 What would five seats in Texas do for Republicans in Congress overall?
00:01:44.180 You might think five seats is just five seats.
00:01:46.800 But keep in mind this, margins are spared for the House majority.
00:01:50.020 In 2020, the Democrats had four seats.
00:01:52.860 2022, Republicans had four seats.
00:01:55.220 This time around, two seats for Republicans out of the 2024 elections.
00:01:59.580 Five seats can make all the difference in the world, and that is why Republicans in Texas
00:02:04.680 providing five pickup seat opportunities could, in fact, make the difference between Republicans
00:02:09.300 losing control of the House of Representatives and maintaining control of the House of Representatives.
00:02:13.180 And some voting shifts within Texas might be adding fuel to this.
00:02:18.140 Exactly right.
00:02:19.020 They wouldn't necessarily be able to do this if, in fact, Republicans Donald Trump did not
00:02:23.640 do so much better among Latino voters last time around than he did in 2020, because four
00:02:27.980 of the pickup opportunities are majority Hispanic seats.
00:02:30.360 In 2024, get this, Donald Trump actually won Latino voters by 10 points in Texas.
00:02:35.060 In 2020, it was Joe Biden who won him by 17 points.
00:02:38.520 That's nearly a 30-point switcheroo.
00:02:40.900 So this, in my mind, is fueling these potential pickup opportunities for Republicans.
00:02:44.900 As I said at the beginning of this, Republicans are playing hardball.
00:02:47.940 It's going to be interesting to see if Democrats can actually answer this, or are they going
00:02:51.100 to be stuck in the Little League?
00:02:52.120 Thursday, 31 July, Year of the Lord, 2025, hardball.
00:02:57.900 And Brian Harrison started the hardball down there in the smash mouth on this most important
00:03:03.060 of topics, the redistricting in Texas.
00:03:06.020 So, Brian, thank you for holding over to the 6 o'clock hour.
00:03:09.700 Walk us through the process.
00:03:11.640 We've got everybody's attention.
00:03:13.100 You've got Hakeem Jeffries.
00:03:14.140 The news now is filled with this.
00:03:16.940 What happens?
00:03:17.860 How do we bring this home and stick the landing, sir?
00:03:21.100 That's the exactly right question.
00:03:22.700 Look, the stakes, as we were saying a minute ago, could not be higher.
00:03:25.380 The future of America runs through the great state of Texas.
00:03:28.500 And voters in the state of Texas have given Republicans every lever of power in our state.
00:03:32.640 The governor's mansion, lieutenant governor's office, massive majorities of the Texas House
00:03:36.140 and the Texas Senate.
00:03:37.320 But to get your viewers and the posse all up to speed on how we got here, we're not in
00:03:41.400 a regular session.
00:03:42.160 Our regular session already ended, and we failed to redistrict it.
00:03:45.400 Quite frankly, we failed to do almost any bold Republican thing because of the amount
00:03:49.840 of power that rhinos in the Texas government give to radical leftist Democrats.
00:03:55.360 So we didn't get redistricting done in regular session.
00:03:57.940 The president asked us to do it.
00:04:00.000 The governor put it on the agenda.
00:04:01.180 And here we are in special session.
00:04:02.560 But we're almost halfway through special session.
00:04:05.180 The DNC knows the stakes.
00:04:06.840 They've been having rallies with thousands of people all over the state.
00:04:10.160 We've got the maps.
00:04:11.540 And where we are is tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. in Austin will be another hearing.
00:04:16.800 I think this is the fourth redistricting hearing from the Texas House on the redistricting
00:04:20.820 plans.
00:04:21.820 And what I think should happen, quite frankly, the state of Texas should have already led.
00:04:25.680 We should have done this during the regular session.
00:04:28.120 We should have already gotten it finished.
00:04:29.900 We're halfway through special session.
00:04:31.440 We should have done it by now.
00:04:32.320 As far as I'm concerned, the second that they're finished hearing the testimony tomorrow, there's
00:04:37.120 nothing stopping the Texas House Redistricting Committee from immediately calling a vote.
00:04:41.480 If they've got the hearing, they obviously have a quorum.
00:04:43.760 Vote the map out.
00:04:45.320 Send it to the body.
00:04:46.440 Let's pass this thing.
00:04:48.060 And let's make sure that people understand that even though the Democrats are threatening
00:04:51.460 all of these things, these quorum breaks and whatever, my good friends at the Center
00:04:56.060 for Renewing America put out a great paper outlining the cold, simple facts.
00:05:01.160 Republicans need to fight as hard for the next generation as the Democrats do.
00:05:05.300 And Republicans in Texas, the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker, they have all the tools
00:05:10.380 they need to force the Democrats to show up, force their hands, allow us to vote up or
00:05:15.240 down on these maps.
00:05:15.900 And if we can get a vote up or down, I firmly believe that these maps will pass.
00:05:20.040 And we have the potential to add five seats, which could make or break the decision for
00:05:25.320 whether or not the United States Congress falls to the radical leftist Marxist Democrats
00:05:29.860 in the upcoming midterms.
00:05:31.460 The stakes could never be higher.
00:05:33.060 And Texans and conservative Republicans across America need elected Republicans in the state
00:05:39.620 of Texas to start acting like the bold conservative leaders that their voters expect and that
00:05:44.120 they deserve.
00:05:46.500 Brian, your social media will be following tonight and tomorrow.
00:05:49.520 You're absolutely correct.
00:05:50.420 Vote the map out.
00:05:51.900 That's the mantra.
00:05:52.740 Let's go.
00:05:53.080 So where do people follow you, sir?
00:05:56.760 At Brian E. Harrison on X.
00:05:59.560 And please go like, follow, share at Brian E. Harrison on X.
00:06:02.940 None of the truth of what's going on on the ground is being told by the Austin media or
00:06:06.880 the DC media.
00:06:07.820 So I post updates and videos from the floor every day at Brian E. Harrison on X and Steve
00:06:12.300 and the posse.
00:06:12.860 I got to tell you, y'all have been instrumental in just about every, though there haven't been
00:06:17.460 many.
00:06:17.860 Pretty much every conservative victory we've been able to squeeze out of the uniparty establishment
00:06:22.440 in Austin has come from grassroots patriots like the posse.
00:06:25.920 So really appreciate everything you and the posse are doing.
00:06:29.360 Thank you, sir.
00:06:30.360 You guys are doing the hard work.
00:06:31.600 The posse is doing an amazing job right here.
00:06:33.220 And this is, this is, this is, you can't get any more important than this.
00:06:37.000 So we're going to be pounded through all the way through.
00:06:39.180 Thank you, sir.
00:06:39.760 Appreciate you.
00:06:40.440 You bet.
00:06:41.080 God bless y'all.
00:06:42.820 Cleo, Cleo Pascal.
00:06:44.360 Cleo, you're off of, I don't know, like a 36 hour flight.
00:06:47.360 Where are you standing in front of, ma'am?
00:06:50.420 Hi, I'm in the United States of America, in Saipan, in the territory of the Commonwealth
00:06:56.420 of Northern Marianas, right in front of this beautiful defunct casino that was part of the
00:07:03.420 project that was running billions of dollars, Chinese dollars, through this economy, which
00:07:08.600 some analysts were saying there's no way that could possibly be legal.
00:07:12.480 And the money that you can see Chinese workers going back and forth in front behind me there.
00:07:18.240 They showed up soon after I set up the camera.
00:07:21.800 This is a location where the governor, who was trying to get rid of corruption and get
00:07:29.500 rid of Chinese influence operations, died on July 23rd.
00:07:32.480 And I'm here for the funeral, which will happen on August 2nd, August 1st, D.C. time.
00:07:40.400 Yeah, we're going to, by the way, so a programming note starting at 7 p.m. tomorrow after the 6
00:07:44.720 o'clock show, we're going to go live.
00:07:46.020 We're going to stream the entire state funeral.
00:07:48.700 We'll have, I'll be making an analysis and observations.
00:07:52.440 We're going to have some other people on here, too.
00:07:54.240 This is very important.
00:07:55.260 Because you said you've been flying for, I don't know, a day and a half.
00:07:58.660 People, you've got to understand something.
00:08:00.000 She's still in the United States of America.
00:08:02.640 And this is the United States of America that we shed blood, you know, about 80 years ago
00:08:06.720 of the greatest generation to make sure that we could take and hold places like Saipan.
00:08:11.880 And the people there made a decision.
00:08:13.800 They wanted to, after that, they wanted to be part of the United States of America.
00:08:16.680 Here's the problem.
00:08:17.980 The Chinese Communist Party corruption there and the Chinese Communist Party use it as a
00:08:22.100 way just to get entry into the United States of America with no fare thee well.
00:08:26.220 This is what we have to change.
00:08:27.500 The situation there, we've got to restart the investigation on this casino.
00:08:32.760 We've got to get to the bottom of who was selling the American people out, who was selling
00:08:36.460 out the people of Saipan and northern Marianas Islands.
00:08:40.420 We've got to get to the bottom of it.
00:08:41.680 And that's why Cleo's there for us.
00:08:43.900 And that's why we're going to stream this tomorrow night and stay up as long as it takes
00:08:48.380 to make sure that we honor this governor who was a hero who, quote, unquote, mysteriously
00:08:53.380 died, you know, standing and doing his duty because he was anti-CCP.
00:08:57.480 Was he not, Cleo?
00:08:58.220 He was pro-freedom and pro-transparency and anti-corruption.
00:09:04.960 And of course, that makes you anti-CCP.
00:09:07.500 And you mentioned how long it took me to get here.
00:09:10.080 Well, that's how long he had to travel.
00:09:11.960 Every time he went to D.C. to try to ask for help from FBI, from Treasury, from anybody,
00:09:17.480 he kept asking over and over from DOD, he would make this long, long journey in order
00:09:23.820 to be able just to ask his capital for help in cleaning up this thing.
00:09:29.020 It looks like we're in Vegas or something.
00:09:31.240 There are about 45,000 people who live in all of the Commonwealth and northern Marianas
00:09:35.900 Islands.
00:09:36.340 It's completely out of proportion.
00:09:38.000 It's by far the biggest building.
00:09:39.360 And it's a crumbling, rotting wreck that was built by the Chinese on an ancient burial ground.
00:09:45.920 If you can just get the story gets worse and worse and worse.
00:09:49.040 And the other thing is that when he would travel to D.C., he'd often stop off along the
00:09:53.360 way in Honolulu to talk to Indo-Pacon.
00:09:56.240 And if you went across the street on that base to Camp Smith, where Marforpak is, he would
00:10:02.360 see on the wall.
00:10:03.280 There's a massive map of the World War II battlefield on the wall of Marforpak's headquarters.
00:10:11.620 And on that map, they've got Tinian, which is the island to the south of us, to the north
00:10:17.120 of Saipan.
00:10:18.560 So he would walk in and people at Indo-Pacon would say, we love you.
00:10:22.220 We care for you.
00:10:22.940 You're such an important part of America.
00:10:24.160 And he'd walk across the street.
00:10:25.780 And the map of where the Americans died was wrong.
00:10:29.560 And so, you know, we need to connect all these dots and get the message back to Washington.
00:10:35.660 Something has to change.
00:10:36.520 And I have to say, though, by the way, the people who understand this area the best are
00:10:40.320 the Marines.
00:10:41.020 They really, really care.
00:10:42.860 And it wasn't their fault.
00:10:44.400 That map's not their fault.
00:10:45.620 But it needs to never seems to go high enough to actually get fixed.
00:10:50.900 We're working on right now that that that relic in Baku was a money laundering operation for
00:10:55.700 the Chinese Communist Party and to basically influence and the part of the influence operation
00:10:59.860 to fund it and also to corrupt corrupt officials so they could use it to come in and out as
00:11:05.580 they want with no regulation whatsoever to come into the territories of the United States.
00:11:10.300 Once again, she took an 18, you know, went to went to went to Tokyo airport, then came
00:11:15.680 south.
00:11:16.640 You know, it's I don't know.
00:11:17.320 It's an 1824 hour flight.
00:11:18.620 She's still in the United States of America, folks.
00:11:22.000 This is what's so important about the three island change.
00:11:24.080 We had the vast Pacific kind of in back of her, right, because it's the natural strategic
00:11:30.440 heartland of our continental defense.
00:11:33.380 This is what this is what the hemispheric defense is predicated upon that vast ocean.
00:11:38.220 Yesterday, remember, you're going to have the tsunami and and, you know, the waves are
00:11:42.200 going to take over everything from Honolulu to L.A. to San Francisco.
00:11:46.080 It didn't happen.
00:11:47.300 And why?
00:11:48.420 The ocean is so vast.
00:11:50.840 OK, this is our strategic heartland.
00:11:52.960 In a minute, we're going to have Tom Dans up in Alaska on the Arctic on the other side
00:11:58.180 of it.
00:11:58.440 And still, by the way, he's looking out.
00:12:00.320 You know, he's right near the Pacific Ocean, which borders Alaska.
00:12:05.780 This is vast in the strategic heartland.
00:12:07.600 That's why this is so important.
00:12:09.020 And you know who knows this?
00:12:10.340 Not just the United States Marines who had to fight bloody battles to basically take this
00:12:15.340 back from the Japanese Imperial Army and hold it.
00:12:17.920 But the Chinese Communist Party, they know it better than anybody.
00:12:20.960 And that's why they're trying to infiltrate American officials in these areas, ma'am.
00:12:26.980 Yes.
00:12:27.520 And we are about a 45 minute flight from Guam.
00:12:30.280 And you had that very excellent sort of scenario of an attack on the U.S. yesterday.
00:12:35.640 And it started with drones being launched from submarines off of Guam.
00:12:39.060 Well, Chinese can arrive here without a visa.
00:12:41.460 And by the hundreds, they're going illegally to Guam.
00:12:43.460 You don't need submarines.
00:12:44.320 They can launch it from their shed in the backyard.
00:12:47.340 I mean, this is the border is wide open.
00:12:49.520 And this crossover zone between political warfare and kinetic warfare is huge.
00:12:55.120 Captain Fennell talks about the need to build up the kinetic part, which is absolutely essential.
00:12:59.880 And at the same time, this kind of left of bang part, this political warfare front is wide open.
00:13:06.900 So please, let's do something about it.
00:13:11.420 Yes.
00:13:11.980 Cleo, what's your social media?
00:13:14.420 We're going to be up to speed with you for the entire time you're there.
00:13:16.740 Thank you so much for going over.
00:13:18.100 It's a brutal flight.
00:13:18.920 But you realize, as we do, we're going to stream it.
00:13:22.780 We must pay respects to a great American that died in service to his country.
00:13:28.760 And we will do that here in the war room.
00:13:30.120 And Cleo will be there for the entire time.
00:13:32.220 What's your social media, ma'am?
00:13:33.940 Thank you.
00:13:34.560 I'm on X.
00:13:35.600 My name, Cleo Pascal, C-L-E-O-P-A-S-K-A-L.
00:13:38.520 And I have a very lonely Getter account because somebody took my name.
00:13:41.900 So it's real Cleo.
00:13:43.680 But some people might thought I'm like a real Miss Cleo or something, if anybody's old enough
00:13:47.520 to remember that.
00:13:48.240 So I've got real Cleo on Getter, but I'm mostly over on X.
00:13:53.680 Ma'am, thank you so much.
00:13:55.040 Appreciate you.
00:13:55.640 Be back in touch tonight, later.
00:13:59.560 Wade Miller from CRA.
00:14:00.800 Wade, before I get into all the CRA business as a Marine, Saipan, Guam, these are burned
00:14:09.240 into the soul of the United States Marine Corps, sir?
00:14:12.560 Absolutely.
00:14:13.380 And for your listeners and viewers, I was not on those islands in those campaigns.
00:14:17.660 I'm a little bit younger.
00:14:18.900 But absolutely, they're part of the lore of the success of the Marine Corps.
00:14:22.920 So it's important politically and emotionally for the Marine Corps that these problems get
00:14:28.200 solved.
00:14:30.580 No, to honor, I keep telling people, they say about the greatest generation and they thank
00:14:33.980 them for their service.
00:14:34.600 You want to thank them for their service?
00:14:36.880 Respect and honor what they died for.
00:14:39.460 I mean, we talk about Normandy and Normandy was horrific.
00:14:43.560 The casualties there were unbelievable.
00:14:45.300 And it was a slaughterhouse.
00:14:46.860 And the brave U.S. Army and the U.S. Army Air Corps, the Navy, everybody that got us through
00:14:54.460 Normandy and into that battle and then up over into Germany, it was amazing, obviously.
00:15:00.240 But the Pacific doesn't get quite the...
00:15:03.000 And you had Normandy-like invasions, right?
00:15:07.000 In 1944 and 1945, like every couple of weeks.
00:15:10.960 Multiple islands.
00:15:11.640 And these are these little tolls.
00:15:13.320 And I got to tell you, these...
00:15:14.580 When you go out there and see it and you understand the scale of these battles, it just...
00:15:19.440 It blows your way.
00:15:20.360 And so that's what...
00:15:21.180 To honor their service, let's honor what they fought and died for.
00:15:24.760 And the people there are American through and through.
00:15:27.780 And that's why we got to make sure we defend this.
00:15:29.520 And the Chinese Communist Party, they understand how important this is.
00:15:32.260 That's why they're trying to corrupt officials.
00:15:33.980 That's why they had this casino.
00:15:35.620 We got to get to the bottom of all of it.
00:15:37.100 Okay, we had Mike Lee up today.
00:15:38.380 Look, here's what's got us disturbing.
00:15:40.140 I thank you for breaking out today.
00:15:42.180 When the big, beautiful bill that looks like it's kicking in, you know, and getting some
00:15:46.140 traction on the economic side, we got 3% growth.
00:15:48.280 Part of the deal was we were also going to have rescissions.
00:15:51.880 We want to be part of the bill.
00:15:52.920 That's why the House guy said, okay, we'll take the Senate.
00:15:55.140 Although the Senate bill's got more problems than the House.
00:15:57.840 But it was rescissions, pocket rescissions, impoundments, all of it to make sure that in
00:16:03.400 2025 and in 26, but starting in 25, we're going to clean up some of this mess.
00:16:08.460 Now, we did the first rescissions.
00:16:11.420 It was small but emblematic.
00:16:13.860 And we know today, by the way, that the Democrats and I think the Senate doing the towel, they're
00:16:18.580 not going to try to redo the PBS and NPR.
00:16:21.160 That shows you how powerful a rescissions package is.
00:16:24.360 But we got, you know, we're going to have a $2 trillion deficit.
00:16:27.720 We got real packages.
00:16:28.980 We hear that OMB's got them.
00:16:33.040 What do we need to do, you think, to get the rescissions back on track, to get the pocket
00:16:39.300 rescissions?
00:16:40.060 Or even what I want to do is just impound the freaking money.
00:16:43.000 And let's go to the Supreme Court on the Impoundment Control Act, which I think is totally
00:16:47.440 unconstitutional.
00:16:48.460 Wade Miller, your thoughts?
00:16:49.400 Well, there's a lot of different ways to come at this, and the Trump administration may
00:16:54.600 have some plans.
00:16:55.540 I don't know fully what President Trump himself wants to do on this, and there could be a lot
00:17:00.120 of different factors.
00:17:01.480 It took the Senate about 25 days to get the rescissions bill out of the committee.
00:17:07.000 So it's not clear that there's a lot of time on the calendar right now to do another rescissions
00:17:11.420 package.
00:17:12.080 There is time on the calendar to do another pocket rescission.
00:17:14.700 And there's plenty of money out there.
00:17:16.060 There's plenty of woke money at NIH.
00:17:18.820 There's plenty of woke and weaponized money at HHS, things that will have literally no
00:17:23.920 impact on the critical services that those two, you know, and programs that those two
00:17:29.420 run.
00:17:29.980 It's not going to impact cancer research.
00:17:31.980 It's not going to impact cardiovascular research.
00:17:34.380 But it's not clear, like Katie Britt and some other senators already pushed back on some
00:17:38.960 of these cuts and, you know, using the swamp arguments of, you know, that it's going
00:17:44.420 to cut cancer research.
00:17:45.520 Does anyone really think that Donald Trump is not going to fund cancer research?
00:17:49.820 They're just absurd.
00:17:50.940 So we have some obstructionist viewpoints from the United States Senate that are ongoing,
00:17:55.740 and they're pushing back on this.
00:17:57.640 And so if that's the case, and look, President Trump has had the most successful for six months,
00:18:02.820 but he can't be everywhere at once.
00:18:04.420 He can't do the homework for everyone.
00:18:06.900 He's relying on input and feedback on what needs to be done.
00:18:10.460 And if he's not getting good feedback from various agency heads on cuts, if he's not
00:18:14.640 getting good feedback or being misled by senators, it puts them in a bind, and it's difficult
00:18:19.260 for him to know what the right thing to do is.
00:18:21.140 So I would just encourage the Trump administration and senators to buckle down, identify cuts.
00:18:27.220 And look, if we've run out of options that are palatable for various political reasons,
00:18:31.440 we've got another reconciliation bill.
00:18:33.400 But if that's the case, if that's the direction they want to go, they really need to make that
00:18:37.960 number high.
00:18:38.720 We need to compensate for a lack of pocket rescissions and rescissions and either do
00:18:43.060 impoundment, which I'm on board with you.
00:18:44.840 We should just start impounding, pick those legal fights, or do a really big reconciliation
00:18:49.680 package and, you know, rustle up another $100 billion, $200 billion, $300 billion in cuts
00:18:54.400 to offset not doing pocket rescissions.
00:18:56.760 Those are all possibilities.
00:18:58.080 But we need leadership from John Thune.
00:19:00.380 We need leadership from Speaker Johnson if that's the route that we're going to go.
00:19:06.180 I don't want to name names yet because we have not done our homework here at the Worm
00:19:10.360 yet, but I committed to you.
00:19:11.720 I'm going to do it tonight and get back to you and the guys at CRA and some, there's some
00:19:16.240 people in the administration.
00:19:17.800 Some of the departments, some of the cabinets are, you know, after we went through this thing
00:19:22.920 and said, okay, it's over, we can kind of go back to ways.
00:19:25.540 And the permanent staffs there, as they always do, are kind of having a little bit of capture,
00:19:31.980 right?
00:19:32.760 I think there's a particular problem, maybe, and we're the huge Make America Healthy Again.
00:19:37.140 We got to do that.
00:19:38.080 It's a top priority for President Trump, obviously has Bobby Kennedy's back.
00:19:42.920 But there may be a disconnect about how we get there, particularly that we got to be very
00:19:47.460 focused on cutting spending.
00:19:49.600 Is there an issue right now, you think, with HHS that we're going to have to work out
00:19:53.900 over the next couple of weeks, Wade?
00:19:57.020 I'm not so sure that it's the agency head in that case.
00:20:00.620 In fact, RFK Jr. has specified cuts that he'd like to see, and that's an example of leadership
00:20:06.580 that we need more of.
00:20:08.200 But he himself even said in an interview not so long ago, maybe back in May, that none of
00:20:13.700 the agency heads want cuts to their own programs.
00:20:16.360 So everyone wants woke and weaponized cuts, but no one wants cuts to their own programs.
00:20:21.100 And I think the success of this administration has been that President Trump had four years
00:20:26.620 to diagnose the problem.
00:20:27.860 He had four years to work with advisors.
00:20:30.060 He's executed most of that.
00:20:32.180 A lot of it is ongoing.
00:20:33.580 At this point, what he needs are agency heads to go in there and now produce more options for
00:20:39.800 him to execute on.
00:20:40.860 And that's hard to do because you have a lot of bureaucrats in the deep state that will
00:20:46.120 mislead you or give you misleading data or try to convince you that there's no problems
00:20:51.980 here.
00:20:52.420 And this is a real problem.
00:20:53.900 It's not an easy solution.
00:20:55.380 Even with the best of intentions, you go into these agencies, you need to understand that
00:21:00.200 that's what's happening.
00:21:01.040 You need to understand that your bureaucrats, not all of them, but some of them are going
00:21:05.160 to pull wool over your eyes because ultimately they are all invested in protecting every single
00:21:09.220 cent that they are being sent and they don't want any of it cut.
00:21:12.980 And so you have to understand that and look through, read between the lines and figure
00:21:16.700 out.
00:21:17.140 I mean, we've had some of these agency heads have been helping and working alongside their
00:21:23.000 own bureaucracy to protect all of their funding.
00:21:26.940 And you're telling them we're $37 trillion in debt.
00:21:29.480 We should be seeing every single agency head saying, look, these are important, but they're
00:21:34.020 not more important than the country going insolvent.
00:21:37.080 Here's a list of things we would recommend.
00:21:39.220 You know, they should proactively be going to the president and saying, we have identified
00:21:43.320 these critical functions that need to be cut or non-critical functions that don't need
00:21:48.040 to be, or they're either woke or wasteful, or they're just not critical or they're duplicative.
00:21:52.340 Where are those lists?
00:21:53.660 Some of these agency heads have been doing this.
00:21:55.840 Linda McMahon knows her mission is to destroy the Department of Education.
00:21:59.820 And she fully admits that because it's not needed and no parents need it in place.
00:22:03.760 We need more Linda McMahons and fewer people who are trying to hoard every single cent that
00:22:09.140 the deep state bureaucracy that they oversee wants to spend.
00:22:13.000 Wade, where can people get you over at CRA and your social media and all of it?
00:22:20.680 Because these fights, I got to tell you, if they do take the recess when they come back
00:22:23.780 in Labor Day, this is going to be, this will be a firestorm that will consume everything
00:22:28.860 up until midnight on the 30th of September.
00:22:31.720 And folks, I've told you it can be some bad news in there because I think they're working
00:22:34.660 on a big omnibus right now.
00:22:36.820 And they're trying to give a head fake, oh, we're just, you know, mini busser, but they're
00:22:39.760 working on a big ass omnibus.
00:22:41.560 We're going to have to get our arms around.
00:22:42.680 So Wade, where do people get you, sir?
00:22:45.220 Yeah, Wade Miller underscore USMC on X.
00:22:49.000 And you're absolutely right.
00:22:50.360 If the Senate goes on recess, they should at least do the polite thing and go on a formal
00:22:53.920 recess so that President Trump can fully recess appoint all of his backlog nominees.
00:23:00.360 You agree with that.
00:23:01.280 Mike Lee gave the alternative of them staying and cutting out the crap with the Democrats
00:23:06.040 and getting on with it.
00:23:07.340 But do you agree with me, Wade, that's a pretty low probability they're going to stick around?
00:23:12.520 I think that's a low probability.
00:23:14.220 If they do, it'll be some sort of watered down agreement.
00:23:18.200 Mike Lee's right, 100% right.
00:23:19.700 I just don't have trust that John Thune will use the leverage to do that effectively.
00:23:24.180 If they would come in and say, look, we're going to stick around unless we get all 80
00:23:28.280 nominees and really use leverage, then maybe that's worth it.
00:23:32.280 But my guess is he would probably try to do something for like 20.
00:23:35.380 If that's the case, just formally recess.
00:23:37.900 Go back and campaign and just let the pressure valve release itself by allowing Trump to get
00:23:42.780 his team in place.
00:23:43.700 It's such a simple and elegant solution.
00:23:45.680 And it's bizarre that they won't do it because recess appointments are the historical norm.
00:23:50.240 The only president in recent history that has not had dozens, if not hundreds of them
00:23:54.800 is Trump.
00:23:55.780 Democrats won't allow it.
00:23:56.880 So why are why is John Thune and why are other Senate Republicans just not looking at what
00:24:02.560 the Democrats are doing and saying we have an elegant solution?
00:24:05.640 Recess appointments.
00:24:06.480 It's simple.
00:24:10.360 And we're working on it nonstop.
00:24:12.260 Wade, thank you so much.
00:24:13.240 Appreciate you and all the folks over at CRA.
00:24:15.500 And in the CRA's other campus over in the executive office building, which we refer to as OMB,
00:24:22.140 your other campus.
00:24:23.040 Not officially.
00:24:24.060 They're not a part of CRA, but they're former alums and we love them.
00:24:29.880 Alumni.
00:24:30.400 Thank you, sir.
00:24:31.000 Appreciate you.
00:24:31.680 Don't want to get you in trouble.
00:24:34.140 Naomi, I've got about a minute here on this side.
00:24:36.260 I want to hold you.
00:24:36.820 So I want to get you back on to talk about HHS.
00:24:40.040 I know you got great expertise over the last couple of years in that.
00:24:43.020 Also, this digital healthcare network, which the Warren Posse's head's blowing up.
00:24:48.560 But I got you here today because you wrote this amazing thing, an essay, a really analytical piece on Substack.
00:24:54.820 And, folks, I know this because I spend a lot of time with this New York situation up there working on it.
00:24:59.880 I'll be up there again next week.
00:25:02.000 There's a lot of confusion about what's going on.
00:25:04.300 I got a minute on this side.
00:25:05.520 Just give the headline because they put out a poll the other day because they want one of the guys to drop out.
00:25:11.780 They want Adams to drop out or Cuomo to drop out.
00:25:15.480 But they put a poll out in the New York Post that showed that, hey, it doesn't matter, that he's over 50 percent and Mondami.
00:25:23.900 And if it doesn't matter who drops out, he's going to win a majority.
00:25:27.580 You've got a minute here on this side.
00:25:29.680 Do you believe that, ma'am?
00:25:31.740 I don't or I don't think we can know from that poll.
00:25:35.220 The poll is really being misreported.
00:25:38.020 People just aren't looking at the poll.
00:25:39.860 It's linked in my Substack essay and you can look at it online.
00:25:44.420 But the bottom line is it's being reported as if it's a real independent poll.
00:25:48.360 It isn't.
00:25:49.500 It's a poll paid for by Mondani's funders and run by an advisor to his campaign.
00:25:56.540 It's not an independent polling company.
00:25:58.740 It's only 1,400 people.
00:26:00.680 And all the legacy media in New York that I've looked at is repeating that it shows that Mondani is unstoppable, that he's got over 50 percent of the vote is the implication.
00:26:13.340 That's not what it says at all.
00:26:15.080 If you look at pages 12, 14, 15 and 16, it shows that he's got 50 percent approval, but 32 percent disapproval.
00:26:25.320 And the 32 percent would not vote for Mondani head to head with Cuomo.
00:26:30.480 It's 52 to 40, which is overcomable.
00:26:32.740 But among registered voters, it's 46 to 43, Mondani versus Cuomo, which is like within the margin of error.
00:26:43.200 So if they're doing it in a statistically correct way, A, it's a nonsense poll, but B, even that poll says it's a dick.
00:26:50.020 Hang on one second.
00:26:52.400 We're going to hold you through the break.
00:26:53.600 The situation in New York, the fog of war, and this is a big one.
00:26:59.820 The imperial capital will cede the financial capital of the world to a bunch of radical Marxists and jihadists.
00:27:07.040 Next in the war room.
00:27:07.680 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro.
00:27:15.960 The block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:27:26.300 They're calling this the Rio reset as BRICS nations push forward with their plans.
00:27:32.400 Global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:27:37.900 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:27:44.020 The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.

00:32:56.160 Also, you see we've been hammering what's happening in Texas.
00:32:59.280 Got Hakeem Jeffries down there to give these radical Marxist Democrats a pep talk.
00:33:04.380 Patriot Mobile, the best phone service company in the world.
00:33:08.120 It drafts off of all the other service providers.
00:33:10.660 They've got tons of different alternatives.
00:33:14.200 What you should do right now is go 972-PATRIOT.
00:33:17.040 Just call 972-PATRIOT and talk to one of the United States citizens that are manning their call centers.
00:33:23.980 Talk to them about all the options.

00:33:29.900 Back to folks.
00:33:30.680 Back to play at Patriot Mobile.
00:33:32.640 972-PATRIOT.
00:33:33.620 And I'll tell you, if it was not for their PAC that really gets quite engaged, we wouldn't have any victories down there for MAGA in Texas.
00:33:41.880 Of course, this redistricting is everything.
00:33:44.800 So make sure you go give them a shout-out to 972-PATRIOT.
00:33:47.640 So, Naomi, you've been one of the few rays of sunshine in this entire mess.
00:33:52.760 You say there's a whole new generation of Republicans coming up.
00:33:55.420 Most people will say, hey, Mandami, he's a working people's party.
00:34:01.420 He's the Democrat Socialist Party.
00:34:04.240 He's got ground game.
00:34:05.340 He's got 10,000 people out every day canvassing.
00:34:07.860 This is a machine that's going to roll through the traditional Democrats like Cuomo and going to crush independents like Adams and make a fool of the rump of the Republican Party there.
00:34:18.740 And Curtis Sliwa, your thoughts, ma'am?
00:34:20.840 Well, he is a formidable candidate, but people don't realize that he's among the most privileged of New Yorkers.
00:34:30.000 His mother's Mira Nair, the glamorous filmmaker.
00:34:34.380 And he just got married in the gated estate of his family in Uganda, even though in the New York City media he poses in a hoodie on the subway.
00:34:45.420 So he's not a man of the people.
00:34:47.200 There's definitely globalist money behind him, and it's a very slick operation.
00:34:51.520 I don't mean to diminish that at all, but they're really trying, you know, smoke and mirrors.
00:34:56.720 Again, the numbers I just read to you in that poll don't show that he has a lock on this mayoral race at all.
00:35:05.280 They show a statistical dead heat with Cuomo, and people are really misreading the poll.
00:35:11.100 And if Cuomo joins forces with some of his—I don't like Cuomo, but if his opponents join forces, they do have a statistical majority among registered voters.
00:35:21.740 So that's number one.
00:35:24.120 It's kind of shocking that the editors of Newsweek who ran these stories, the editors of Politico, didn't click through the poll.
00:35:31.440 It's right there, linked in my Substack article.
00:35:34.300 It's easy to find.
00:35:35.540 You know, again, a poll paid for by his Mamdani supporters and run by his campaign advisor.
00:35:41.600 It's not a pollster and handpicking likely Mamdani voters.
00:35:46.560 But moving on to the bigger picture, New York mayor doesn't sort of run the city alone.
00:35:53.580 There are city councils and there's borough city councils.
00:35:56.780 And what I'm seeing, you know, only in the borough in which I live part-time, which is Brooklyn, but it's pretty exciting, is that there's been a Republican club that opened up in deepest blue Brooklyn, run by a former Democrat, you know, founded by the Donald J. Trump Republican Club.
00:36:13.960 I'm not kidding.
00:36:14.800 I'm speaking there next month.
00:36:16.200 And that they're running, they've found these really extraordinary, idealistic, young candidates, kind of the anti-Mamdani's, both of them that I've interviewed are in every way opposite to Mamdani, both of them former Democrats, I believe.
00:36:34.440 I know Athena Clark is a former Democrat.
00:36:36.580 And she walked away from the Democratic Party and committed to running.
00:36:40.920 She was a New York City teacher with a focus on special ed.
00:36:43.880 She was mandated to take the vaccine.
00:36:47.180 And this is a huge kind of wedge issue.
00:36:51.040 There are 147,000 first responders, Steve, in New York.
00:36:55.800 They were mandated to take this vaccine.
00:36:58.580 They know they've been had by now.
00:37:00.840 They know people are getting sick.
00:37:02.660 They're furious.
00:37:03.660 And the ones who said no to this day have not been reinstated into their jobs.
00:37:08.720 That's our firefighters, our police, our EMTs, and our public school teachers.
00:37:14.680 And this is a real voting bloc.
00:37:16.860 And so this issue led this woman to walk away from the Democratic Party, a young mom, you know, very persuasive, very inspiring.
00:37:26.340 And also, Louis Caro, I interviewed him, kind of, again, the anti-Mamdani, a, you know, very telegenic, young IT guy in a bank, right, who grew up in a Brooklyn neighborhood, a working class neighborhood, went to Columbia.
00:37:40.540 But he could not run on what he cares about as a Democrat.
00:37:45.620 These are, you know, lifelong Democrats who are the next generation, and they just can't do it.
00:37:50.840 So they've re-registered as Republicans.
00:37:53.320 And it's, again, his platform is a really interesting kind of give the streets back to the people kind of platform.
00:38:00.340 You know, safety, law and order, getting rid of NGOs that just want to perpetuate poverty and homelessness and drug addiction, training Brooklyn, lower income and working class young adults in IT, robotics, AI, you know, the skills of the future.
00:38:18.620 And also high-paying jobs like electricians, construction, plumbing.
00:38:25.820 And it's really tapping this extraordinary groundswell, Steve, because Caro says that the most irate people he hears from are Latino Brooklynites who did everything right, who spent years and thousands of dollars getting their green cards, getting their legal citizenship.
00:38:44.420 And now they're looking at the Democrats ushering in, you know, 15 million people who are breaking the law and who are taking the entry-level jobs at a serfdom level that used to be available to black and brown New Yorkers in these working class neighborhoods.
00:39:02.340 And so it's just an extraordinary situation in which the DNC has mistreated, you know, African-American, Caribbean-American, and Hispanic-American Brooklynites so badly that people from those own communities are like, I can't run as a Democrat.
00:39:21.840 I can't, you know, the Democrats mandated us.
00:39:24.760 The Democrats threw away the lives and livelihoods of teachers, firefighters, police officers, EMTs.
00:39:31.400 You know, I have to re-register as a Republican.
00:39:34.600 It's a whole new face of the Republican Party.
00:39:37.180 And I hope the Republican Party realizes what a gift this is and what an incredible opportunity it is that these talented young people are throwing their hats into the ring.
00:39:49.660 Before I go, and I want to spend more time with you on this in the weeks ahead because it's so vital to this, particularly in Chicago and L.A.
00:39:57.660 Does the mainstream media and the massive donor class in New York City and the leaders of the financial capital world, do they really have any idea how radical Momdami and the rest of the people around him are?
00:40:12.040 Do you think they have an inkling?
00:40:13.020 Because you understand radical politics.
00:40:14.900 You've been a political operative and consultant.
00:40:17.780 Do you think they really – because I read the coverage.
00:40:20.160 It's like the polls starting, you know, blowing out people.
00:40:23.520 I'm stunned at the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, even the New York Post.
00:40:28.700 I don't think they get the depth of how radical this guy is and the Working People's Party and the Democrat Socialists of America.
00:40:37.320 I'm not sure they actually – and how organized and what a ground game and how they've kind of – they've got a chokehold on things.
00:40:44.020 Do you think the mainstream media gets it?
00:40:45.440 Oh, Steve, my answer is so sad.
00:40:50.660 They may, but they don't care.
00:40:53.400 I mean, Momdami is a genuine socialist.
00:40:57.460 He wants to create government-run grocery stores, which worked so well in the Soviet Union.
00:41:03.840 You know, he wants to freeze rents.
00:41:05.380 He wants to make transportation free.
00:41:07.840 These are very seductive policies for people who don't know what communism is like and don't realize that the taxpayer always pays anyway, right?
00:41:18.200 But even people who should know better, like the legacy media, they don't care because the – how can I put it?
00:41:28.140 This is so awful.
00:41:29.040 The people I walked away from, the elite circles of New York City, love what he represents so much personally.
00:41:38.600 He's one of us, right?
00:41:40.180 He's a Bowdoin guy.
00:41:42.160 His mom's a star, you know, an international jet setter.
00:41:45.780 He's so telegenic.
00:41:47.000 He's brown, right?
00:41:48.240 I mean, it's this DNC thing of, like, throwing a telegenic brown person at the camera and calling that social justice.
00:41:54.700 It's the AOC strategy.
00:41:56.400 It's the, you know, Kamala Harris strategy.
00:41:59.060 And so the elites are like, I can get rid of my white privilege by just voting for this guy who will freeze my rent.
00:42:05.480 Awesome.
00:42:05.940 And give me a free subway ticket.
00:42:07.340 And he's just so kind of, you know, how can I put it?
00:42:11.980 He gives that frisson of – and also he's running against awful people, right?
00:42:18.040 We didn't like Cuomo.
00:42:20.140 Cuomo locked us down.
00:42:21.860 Cuomo had all these sexual misbehavior accusations.
00:42:26.800 Cuomo put the COVID-infected people in the old folks' homes.
00:42:30.720 I mean, he's a flawed, damaged candidate.
00:42:33.800 Mayor Adams, I kind of like a lot of things he did, but he's also seen as a flawed candidate.
00:42:40.100 He's not telegenic.
00:42:41.480 He's not persuasive.
00:42:42.300 None of Mamdani's opponents would have that – would be that person you'd want to be seated next to at a gala.
00:42:51.900 And Mamdani is.
00:42:53.520 So the elites of the city are like, oh, what a relief.
00:42:57.800 It doesn't matter that he's going to destroy our budgets.
00:43:01.320 He's one of us.
00:43:02.200 Folks, that's France in 1792.
00:43:05.880 You watch.
00:43:06.580 Hey, she nailed it right there.
00:43:08.360 Naomi, your social media, where do people get you back on it?
00:43:11.880 You've said a brutal truth that is part of the big reality of this thing, and you're absolutely correct.
00:43:17.980 And I would just refer him back to France pre-Terra, revolutionary France.
00:43:24.100 Ma'am, where do we go to get your – aristocracy, 100 percent, same attitude.
00:43:30.720 Where do people go to get your content, ma'am?
00:43:32.580 Thank you.
00:43:33.840 Well, come to Substack and read my outspoken essay about this or go over to Daily Clout.
00:43:39.800 But even more important, whether you're in New York or not, go to 2025ClarkCityCouncil.com to see this candidate because we need to do the right thing for our first responders.
00:43:50.900 And she's the first candidate that's really going to support the first responders.
00:43:56.380 Fabulous.
00:43:57.220 Fantastic.
00:43:58.000 Naomi Wolf, thank you, ma'am.
00:44:00.020 Thank you.
00:44:00.420 Lots of great insights there.
00:44:02.320 This thing in New York City, folks, I'm telling you, and once it goes, it ain't coming back in a – it's not going to come back for a generation at least.
00:44:13.800 Let me repeat that.
00:44:14.960 When you lose it to these folks, it ain't coming because they're not the type of people that turn over power, okay?
00:44:21.420 Tom Danz joins us from Anchorage.
00:44:23.420 Tom, we've already been to the Saipan and Guam and the northern Marianas Islands that we fought so hard for.
00:44:30.080 You're up in Alaska, so we're dealing with the Pacific, the western Pacific, but at the same time, you're on the other side dealing with the Arctic.
00:44:37.920 Tell us about the Arctic Conference.
00:44:39.560 You've been in Greenland for us.
00:44:41.080 You've been everywhere.
00:44:41.820 Why are you in Anchorage at this Arctic Conference, sir?
00:44:45.920 Yeah.
00:44:46.360 Hey, Stephen.
00:44:47.120 Great to be with the Posse.
00:44:48.780 Real quick, yeah, we're in another strategic corner of the United States.
00:44:52.440 So we talk about, like, the sun never setting, really, on the United States.
00:44:55.400 This is, remember, the Battle of Atu.
00:44:59.840 This is World War II, one of the only pieces of U.S. land that was actually ever captured by enemy forces, the Japanese.
00:45:08.020 And the army beat them back.
00:45:09.460 This is the very most western point in the United States, out on the Aleutian Islands, just where that earthquake happened the other day in Kamchatka.
00:45:18.680 So, like, everything ties into what we're talking about, from Saipan to Atu, across to Greenland and down to Panama.
00:45:28.560 You know, this is this hemispheric concept that we're talking about and that President Trump is driving home in terms of the safety and security of the American people.
00:45:36.860 So this Arctic encounter is, think about it as the global convening for the United States of Arctic affairs.
00:45:44.200 Happens once a year. A lot of folks from all over, I think, probably 10, 15 ambassadors here.
00:45:50.680 The congressional delegations from the state come and speak.
00:45:53.720 A lot of people talk on policy.
00:45:55.820 But this is really a sea change in terms of President Trump coming aboard here now.
00:46:03.080 And it's like, as the T-shirt shops say here in Anchorage, you look at the dog side ones, they say, hey, if you're not the lead dog, the view never changes.
00:46:11.820 Well, that's the case in the arc.
00:46:13.340 We have a new lead dog, that's President Trump.
00:46:16.280 His leadership is making this whole Arctic safer and more secure for not just Americans, but the rest of the world.
00:46:24.260 Yeah.
00:46:24.720 But, Tom, the reason it was important for you to go and we want you to report for there and we'd love for you every day until it wraps up is that the new great game, the great power struggle of the 21st century,
00:46:35.040 the focal point initially is going to be on the Arctic, and that is Russia, the Chinese Communist Party in the United States of America.
00:46:42.700 And President Trump has said, hey, because in hemispheric defense, folks, this is what I want to tell you.
00:46:46.840 All the way out to Guam and Saipan, that is the United States of America.
00:46:51.000 We're not trying to be cops for somebody else.
00:46:52.780 That's our territory, just like it is up in the Arctic.
00:46:56.100 Your thoughts, sir, about the great game that's before us?
00:46:58.860 Because I got to tell you, the Chinese Communist Party, they're looking at northern Canada and they say, we're going to take a bite out of that like Russia took a bite out of Ukraine, sir.
00:47:06.840 Steve, I'll tell you what, the delegation that got here first to the conference, well, truth be told, they didn't come to the conference, but it was the Chinese.
00:47:16.780 It's their icebreaker that cruised right by the Aleutians on Sunday.
00:47:22.320 You know, we got a C-130 out to check it out.
00:47:25.200 But look, that's a Chinese icebreaker coming into the U.S. exclusive economic zone.
00:47:29.980 And, you know, we didn't have an icebreaker that we could send out or a group to go out and escort it and say hello.
00:47:36.400 But I want to just say that's the importance of what the leadership of President Trump and especially Secretary Noem is doing here at DHS and Coast Guard.
00:47:46.380 We're getting the assets out to have the presence, to be there, to discourage these guys from even these ideas crossing their mind.
00:47:56.140 And it all links back together.
00:47:57.580 You know, Secretary Noem was down in Panama a few weeks ago.
00:48:01.700 She reviewed the Qatar Escanaba.
00:48:05.700 Well, the Escanaba is a successor for one of the great ships that was involved in the Greenland Patrol back in World War II.
00:48:15.060 And this is a vessel that rescued, as we talked about back in February when we were at the main base there in Greenland.
00:48:22.980 This is a vessel that rescued survivors off of the Dorchester, only to three months later be torpedoed herself, 102 lives lost, all hands lost.
00:48:36.140 But here's a beautiful fact, and I appreciate this.
00:48:40.740 I know the Texans, my fellow Texans, are aboard.
00:48:43.940 And, you know, this is where it all comes together with people rising to the moment, ordinary Americans doing things away from their homes, but in very important parts of the United States.
00:48:55.840 So the father of basically U.S. rescue swimmers under the Coast Guard, that started in Greenland.
00:49:05.260 That started on the Escanaba.
00:49:06.980 That was a fellow from Charleston, South Carolina, my brother's hometown.
00:49:10.940 And we know about Paul going out there and going to fix the Senate.
00:49:15.740 But this is a fellow who developed that rescue swimming, helping save sailors and seamen off of the Dorchester in Greenland.
00:49:25.660 Now it's that vessel's down in Panama protecting those edges.
00:49:29.320 And as we all saw, those skills got put to work in Texas.
00:49:33.640 I mean, nobody in Texas is prouder of the men and women of the United States Coast Guard.
00:49:39.560 I think the recruit is going to be off the charts.
00:49:42.080 I mean, look, hey, look, I was a finance guy in New York City at that age.
00:49:46.500 If I saw that going on, I mean, you'd have to think hard and long about what your life's about and how you can really help your country.
00:49:53.080 Right.
00:49:53.700 The Coast Guard goes the Coast Guard goes out when everybody else is coming in.
00:49:57.180 Tom, social media so people can follow you.
00:49:59.640 We're going to have you on tomorrow to get an update.
00:50:01.740 A lot of the policy stuff going on, the great game of the 21st century is in the Arctic in the United States, is going to be a major player, as President Trump's already said.
00:50:10.820 Where do people get you overnight, sir?
00:50:12.540 Yeah, sure.
00:50:14.140 Tom Dans, at Tom Dans, CFA, CFA, Charter Finance.
00:50:19.000 And hey, one thing I want to mention, we have our good friend Mike Wallace is here.
00:50:27.180 With his wife, Julia, who's another U.S. Arctic expert.
00:50:31.280 We've got to get Mike through.
00:50:33.700 He's ready to go to work at the important part of the U.N.
00:50:37.300 So we've got to get these people to work.
00:50:39.640 So everybody's got to make it do well.
00:50:41.580 These confirmations.
00:50:42.400 Call your senators.
00:50:44.140 Tell them to put Mike through.
00:50:45.200 We've got UNGA coming in a couple short weeks here.
00:50:49.400 And we need our team on the field.
00:50:51.280 Got to have them there.
00:50:51.980 Thank you, brother.
00:50:53.980 We're working on these recess appointments right now.
00:50:56.040 Tom Dans from Anchorage, Alaska.
00:50:58.140 We'll check in with him tomorrow.
