00:00:30.000 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.740 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.440 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Poso.
00:00:49.380 Christ is king.
00:00:50.760 Governor Murphy declaring a state of emergency in New Jersey due to the flash flooding and high levels of rainfall.
00:00:57.380 And then here, drivers in Westchester County, we are tracking reports of damage, flooding, water rescues.
00:01:03.800 It's happening across the tri-state area.
00:01:07.120 I'm going to call this one in.
00:01:08.640 I can't open the doors.
00:01:09.820 It's not safe.
00:01:10.680 Give me a second.
00:01:11.760 We're very pleased with where we are right now.
00:01:14.280 We're collecting about $5 billion in tariffs a week, and the numbers are going up.
00:01:20.480 We've collected over $100 billion in tariffs since President Trump took office.
00:01:25.940 The dairy industry has now made a commitment to get rid of all dyes by the end of 2026.
00:01:34.300 And some of them are already taking action.
00:01:36.600 Some of them are already gotten rid of the dyes.
00:01:38.180 We now have, with this contribution, with this commitment, we now have about 40 percent of the food industry that's already made that commitment.
00:01:46.240 And 35 percent of the food industry was already, had already gotten rid of the dyes.
00:01:53.240 The days of the United States sending unlimited taxpayer dollars to defend Ukraine are over.
00:01:59.180 President Trump has made a very smart decision and an agreement with NATO, which says Europe and Canada will pay for the weapons.
00:02:09.860 The United States will manufacture them.
00:02:11.780 They're very unhappy I am with Russia.
00:02:14.980 We're going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in 50 days.
00:02:21.120 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:02:27.500 Today is July 15th, 2025, Anno Domini.
00:02:33.380 Folks, ton of information and news coming out of the White House over the last, really, 24 hours.
00:02:41.640 One of the biggest ones, of course, being this idea of new weapons packages for Ukraine.
00:02:48.580 And so what I wanted to do is get in here for a little bit right off the start and talk about the situation report or give a sit rep on what's going on in Ukraine.
00:03:01.220 There's also new Epstein polling out.
00:03:03.720 We're going to get to that in just a little bit.
00:03:06.120 But looking at Ukraine right now, specifically on the specifically on the ground, when you look at the map, the real question is what will change?
00:03:16.800 What has changed on the map?
00:03:18.900 What has occurred in this, what we've called the lava advance of the Russian military forces in those eastern-speaking provinces, particularly with a few breakouts?
00:03:29.700 And the question on a lot of analysts' hands is, well, heads, is that will this change anything strategically for Russia?
00:03:38.420 Of course, we're seeing the Russian armed forces.
00:03:40.440 Because they are beginning, they're continuing this strategy.
00:03:43.900 They're continuing this strategy of what I've called it the lava advance.
00:03:47.780 Others have called it the lava advance.
00:03:49.420 It's war of attrition.
00:03:50.760 So war of attrition means you steadily grind down the forces of the other side while continuing your advance, breaking out where you're able to.
00:04:00.500 It is slow.
00:04:01.600 It is devastating.
00:04:02.940 What you're seeing is steady pressure, destruction of infrastructure, and you're going after those reserves.
00:04:10.180 So when people look at the map, they say, wait a minute.
00:04:12.620 So when you see this map here, it says, hey, there's not much change on this map since 2022 or 2023.
00:04:20.980 Does that mean that Russia isn't doing anything?
00:04:23.820 Does that mean they've held off?
00:04:24.840 And I say, well, what are you not seeing on the map right there?
00:04:28.400 What you're not seeing are the numbers of the Ukrainian reserves, the numbers of the manpower.
00:04:34.360 So you're talking about Bradleys.
00:04:36.040 You're talking about HIMARS.
00:04:37.140 You're talking about MATVs.
00:04:38.620 You're talking about strikers.
00:04:39.600 You're talking about all of this equipment.
00:04:41.540 But here's the point.
00:04:43.100 The desertion rate, there are reports that the desertion rate is now at 70% for the Ukrainian military.
00:04:51.180 There are people who are getting drafted and conscripted in their 40s, even older.
00:04:56.500 You're looking at the ages of some of these units are going higher and higher and higher.
00:05:01.480 And guess what?
00:05:02.420 Anyone who can get out is.
00:05:04.840 I just saw a video the other day of a woman who died trying to prevent her son from being conscripted
00:05:10.940 and grabbed by these recruiters off the street.
00:05:13.960 The time will tell whether or not this new technology, these new arms,
00:05:18.960 really are able to change anything on the ground in Ukraine.
00:05:23.800 Our wave and our golden age has just begun.
00:05:27.240 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:05:29.000 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:05:33.680 Welcome to the second American revolution.
00:05:38.080 All right, Jack Posobiec, here we are back live human events daily back in Washington, D.C.
00:05:46.520 after the Turning Point Student Action Summit we held down there in Tampa, Florida.
00:05:52.300 Massive, massive, massive event.
00:05:54.440 Tens of thousands of students.
00:05:57.220 Some, some, some, what do they say, lifelong students as well.
00:06:01.480 But, you know, the predominant, I would say, demographic there was, you know, was definitely
00:06:06.460 in the college age range and even younger, even high school as well.
00:06:10.500 And so huge shout out to Charlie Kirk.
00:06:12.720 He's done it again, folks.
00:06:14.320 Charlie Kirk has done it again in terms of being able to hold one of these, one of these
00:06:19.300 incredible summits, getting the students together, getting, and by the way, lively debates on
00:06:25.840 a number of issues.
00:06:26.700 Israel, Iran, Epstein, so many of these things came up and I started a little debate of my
00:06:33.300 own that went pretty viral online regarding what is an American.
00:06:37.760 Interesting.
00:06:38.860 Folks, this year, gold hit an all-time high at $3,800 and silver is trading near $40 an
00:06:45.900 ounce.
00:06:46.520 And with the uncertainty of war, inflation, interest rates, and all the tariff news, the
00:06:52.020 sky is literally the limit when it comes to these precious metals.
00:06:55.420 And people always ask me, okay, Poso, how do I get involved?
00:06:57.960 The answer is simple.
00:06:59.480 We're talking Allegiance Gold.
00:07:00.920 Now, whether you're a collector looking for the best pricing in the metal space, precious
00:07:04.400 metal space, or looking to protect your future, it doesn't matter if it's $5,000 or $5 million.

00:07:55.660 Call 844-577-7676.
00:08:01.420 Now, folks, I wanted to get into, of course, the information regarding Epstein, Epstein files,
00:08:09.520 Epstein list, et cetera, et cetera.
00:08:10.920 I gave a huge speech.
00:08:11.880 It was the first words out of my mouth at the Student Action Summit over the weekend.
00:08:17.720 And obviously, it just became one of those stories that I would say it really took over
00:08:22.760 the entire event, took over the entire summit in many ways.
00:08:26.660 Of course, there were a few other breakout moments as well.
00:08:28.800 But this was the story that I think dominated the headlines, certainly dominated the headlines
00:08:33.880 out there in the world.
00:08:35.760 And so we've got a couple of clips.
00:08:38.680 President Trump was asked about Epstein a few times, just a few minutes ago.
00:08:44.740 By the way, I want to also point out Nikki Haley, of all people.
00:08:48.760 Nikki Haley says, release the Epstein files and let the chips fall where they may.
00:08:54.120 This is why people don't trust government.
00:08:56.540 You can never go wrong with being transparent.
00:08:58.840 Redact victims' names, but release the rest.
00:09:01.240 There's Nikki Haley.
00:09:02.080 Even a bird brain is coming up on this one.
00:09:06.120 So she put that out.
00:09:07.480 Guys, if we have those clips of the president, I'd like to get his, I'd like to get that up
00:09:12.500 for everyone right now.
00:09:13.700 Mr. President, your daughter, Mr. President, your daughter-in-law said that there should
00:09:18.620 be transparency in the Epstein case.
00:09:21.140 Do you agree with her, sir?
00:09:22.780 The attorney general has handled that very well.
00:09:26.240 She is, she's really done a very good job.
00:09:29.760 And I think that when you look at it, you'll understand that.
00:09:33.000 I would like to see that also.
00:09:35.060 But I think the attorney general, the credibility is very important.
00:09:38.920 And you want credible evidence for something like that.
00:09:42.400 And I think the attorney general has handled it very well.
00:09:44.700 Honestly, the attorney general briefed you on the D.O.J. and FBI's review, the findings
00:09:50.900 of that review, the attorney general briefed you on that.
00:09:52.940 On what?
00:09:53.280 On the D.O.J. and FBI's review.
00:09:55.220 On what?
00:09:55.660 On what subject?
00:09:56.940 Epstein.
00:09:57.520 On Epstein, of the review of the files.
00:09:59.380 Attorney general, Pam Bondi.
00:10:00.260 A very, very quick briefing.
00:10:01.900 Did she tell you, what did she tell you about the review?
00:10:04.240 And specifically, did she tell you at all that your name appeared in the file?
00:10:08.320 No, no.
00:10:09.140 She's given us just a very quick briefing.
00:10:14.060 And in terms of the credibility of the different things that they've seen.
00:10:17.200 And I would say that, you know, these files were made up by Comey.
00:10:21.740 They were made up by Obama.
00:10:23.640 They were made up by the Biden information.
00:10:25.900 You know, and we went through years of that with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, with all
00:10:32.800 of the different things that we had to go through.
00:10:34.620 We've gone through years of it.
00:10:36.220 But she's handled it very well.
00:10:37.880 And it's going to be up to her.
00:10:39.260 Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release.
00:10:41.920 So, OK, right there at the very end, I want to be clear on that.
00:10:48.000 He just said, whatever she thinks is credible, she should release.
00:10:52.940 Now, you're also seeing that refrain come out now from Nikki Haley.
00:10:56.620 We also saw, I'm told, by the way, that my good friend, Benny Johnson, just had a sit
00:11:02.740 down with Speaker Mike Johnson and Speaker Mike Johnson said that we should put everything
00:11:10.020 out there and let us just drop as the show began.
00:11:13.640 Appreciate it, Benny, for, you know, counterprogramming us here.
00:11:16.960 I'm for transparency.
00:11:18.340 We should put everything out there and let the people decide Pam Bondi needs to come forward
00:11:22.240 and explain to the American people, let's get this thing revolved.
00:11:26.720 So that's Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, also calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi
00:11:35.120 to release information as well as President Trump also, remember, at the very end there,
00:11:41.180 so at first he mentions that he's supportive of AG Bondi's role in all of this, but he also
00:11:47.880 says at the end that she should release whatever she deems credible.
00:11:53.260 So I want to put that all out.
00:11:54.360 Also, by the way, folks, we were tracking that President Trump was going to be holding
00:11:58.840 this AI event at some point today.
00:12:02.580 It was originally scheduled for 2.30, so we're told that's now been pushed back to 3.30, so
00:12:07.340 that means I got a whole lot more time on the show today, which is great, and we've got a
00:12:13.900 certain amount of time just left in this segment.
00:12:16.400 So I want to go in through a little bit more of the polling data that's starting to come
00:12:25.100 out from a variety of sources on this because we're really seeing the numbers pour out, and
00:12:34.240 I wonder if this is why Speaker Johnson, Nikki Haley, and others, even the President himself,
00:12:40.240 are starting to now call for more information to come out.
00:12:45.220 We saw, so according to, so this is on the idea about the Epstein files, Jeffrey Epstein.
00:12:53.540 So the Democracy Institute has put out a poll of 1,500 likely voters.
00:12:58.940 In that, and the Democracy Institute, by the way, and the National Polls will tell you over
00:13:04.400 there with Raheem Kassam that they have a lot of credibility with the right, and it says
00:13:17.020 out of Trump 2024 voters, who believes that no files exist or no list exists?
00:13:23.700 Only 21% of voters, Trump 2024 voters agree with that.
00:13:29.560 For Harris 2024 voters, only 28% believe.
00:13:33.000 This is key.
00:13:35.000 New voters for 2024.
00:13:37.580 This is new voters.
00:13:39.740 Only 18% of new voters.
00:13:42.800 So those were those new low-prop voters who were coming into the system, getting involved
00:13:47.580 in 2024 for the first time.
00:13:49.480 Only 18% of them believe that no list exists.
00:13:53.700 When you go to independents, obviously a larger group, that's 27%.
00:13:59.060 And so you're just seeing this across the board, as well as with, let's see here, coming
00:14:10.140 down, voters agree versus disagree.
00:14:16.920 Voters agree versus disagree.
00:14:18.880 You're seeing the exact same thing.
00:14:20.180 Voter groups agree, disagree.
00:14:22.760 2024 voters, 67% disagree with this decision on the Epstein list.
00:14:29.480 For Harris voters, 58% agree.
00:14:31.760 So for the first time, you see Trump supporters and Harris supporters actually agreeing on the
00:14:36.620 same thing.
00:14:37.480 Then when it comes to new voters, 72% disagree, independents, 60% disagree.
00:14:44.040 Interestingly enough, it is upper-class voters are split 48-48, agree, disagree.
00:14:50.280 That is the only group for which there exists a split down the middle.
00:14:56.620 It is the highest support for keeping the list secret.
00:14:59.800 Middle-class, 44%, working-class all the way down at 26%.
00:15:05.660 Folks, this is a story that when you're looking at the polling for it, really tells the tale.
00:15:11.740 Jack Posobiec, Human Events Daily.
00:15:13.060 We'll be right back.
00:15:13.720 All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back live here, Human Events Daily in Washington, D.C.
00:15:41.260 But what I want to do also, because we're waiting for President Trump now, he was originally
00:15:46.200 slated to speak in just 10 minutes' time at this AI conference there in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
00:15:51.840 That's been pushed, shifted to the right just a little bit.
00:15:55.340 But remember, of course, the president always is never late.
00:15:58.380 The president is always on time.
00:15:59.760 But we've got Real America's Voice correspondent, Michelle Bacchus, there on the ground in Pittsburgh
00:16:04.280 to give us an update.
00:16:05.200 Michelle, tell us what is going on.
00:16:07.340 Jack, a bit of breaking and definitely exciting news.
00:16:12.780 This morning, we were told that there would be about $70 billion worth of new investment
00:16:17.060 here in the Keystone State.
00:16:18.500 However, Senator McCormick just announced a little bit ago that number, actually now $90
00:16:22.980 billion worth of new investment here in Pennsylvania.
00:16:27.160 This comes as the AI Summit is happening right behind me.
00:16:30.760 You can see here the room is packed as everyone is awaiting President Trump.
00:16:34.760 You mentioned that he was supposed to speak in just a little bit.
00:16:37.880 That time now getting pushed back as there's only standing room in this building waiting
00:16:42.360 to hear that announcement.
00:16:44.120 Really exciting news for Pennsylvanians, especially, including you and I, Jack.
00:16:49.720 Well, that is huge.
00:16:50.980 So is there any idea, you know, what types of jobs that's going to translate over to?
00:16:56.540 I mean, I remember being out there on the campaign trail.
00:16:59.500 People, you know, Carnegie Mellon graduates were talking about this.
00:17:02.800 People in Southwest PA were talking about this.
00:17:05.460 I actually went to that event that Elon Musk held out there, and this was a huge topic of
00:17:09.660 discussion.
00:17:12.540 Yeah, so it's going to be a lot of data centers and AI investment.
00:17:16.560 So a lot of investment coming from other companies pouring into the Pittsburgh and ultimately the
00:17:20.800 Pennsylvania area as well.
00:17:22.260 This is a abundant area for data centers to be built.
00:17:25.960 Again, that's what's ultimately going to power those AI chips and power the AI revolution as well.
00:17:31.040 You're going to see a lot of new jobs here and investment in that sense.
00:17:34.860 There are over 60 CEOs here from major companies, including Larry Fink.
00:17:39.060 You have BlackRock, Blackstone, ExxonMobil.
00:17:41.840 You've got Google.
00:17:42.640 You also had Meta here as well.
00:17:44.560 It's a pretty big investment.
00:17:46.780 You have to consider as well, Pittsburgh especially was in the middle of the industrial revolution.
00:17:51.520 Now we're seeing another industrial revolution in the AI front.
00:17:54.600 And a lot of leaders around the country hoping for their chance to have the Silicon Valley of the East.
00:18:01.240 Nonetheless, though, many people saying that it's going to be right here in Pittsburgh,
00:18:04.960 especially as they look to develop more AI technology here and build those data centers as well to house the development needed.
00:18:12.980 Michelle, can you run us down some of the names or some of the companies that are expected to be there today?
00:18:18.040 ExxonMobil, we also have Larry Fink.
00:18:23.320 We have BlackRock and Blackstone.
00:18:25.680 We also had a panel that was actually moderated by Google Alphabet CEO as well.
00:18:30.600 You also have members from President Trump's cabinet that are going to be here, Doug Burgum.
00:18:35.060 You even have David Sachs, the crypto czar, that's going to be here.
00:18:38.640 So a long list of people.
00:18:40.280 You have foreign investment as well.
00:18:41.920 Everyone has eyes right now on Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
00:18:45.320 And this comes, especially as you look at the energy-rich resources of the state.
00:18:49.580 I mean, we're the second largest producer of natural gas in the country behind Texas, third in coal mining, abundant lands.
00:18:56.260 We're also looking at nuclear capabilities as well.
00:18:58.880 This really is a rebirth, I would say, of a city that a lot of areas are run down, dilapidated.
00:19:04.760 After many steel mills closed down, I'd say, in the mid-1970s, now there's a chance for that to pick back up.
00:19:10.620 And nonetheless, it's happening here at Carnegie Mellon University, which, if you know anything about Carnegie Mellon, it's a STEM hub.
00:19:17.620 Extremely smart people coming here and innovating tech for the future.
00:19:21.540 I want to take a look right behind me, too, Jack, so you can see just how important this is.
00:19:25.720 Because this room, again, the president isn't set to speak here for, I would say, another hour and a half.
00:19:31.180 But this room is packed, standing room only.
00:19:33.620 People really getting in here early to ensure they have a seat.
00:19:36.380 You can see the panel up there, Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit.
00:19:41.160 This also comes hand-in-hand as Senate Bill 939 was introduced by Senate Republicans to help fast-track that AI development
00:19:49.360 and make it easier for companies to create that development here in the Keystone State.
00:19:54.760 So, you know, it's interesting that you mention energy, by the way, because the fact that Western Pennsylvania is such an energy nexus,
00:20:05.080 when they talk about AI, one of the biggest issues that I always hear associated with this is energy generation
00:20:11.940 and the fact that these data centers, these power centers, are going to require so much energy to be able to be run.
00:20:19.920 And I wonder if that's going to be part of the topic of discussion.
00:20:23.200 Obviously, crypto, this plays right involved with that.
00:20:26.020 The same idea, you need these huge data centers to be able to run this stuff.
00:20:29.500 So I wonder, do you think there's going to be any discussion of that nexus?
00:20:33.680 Probably that's why Doug Bergen would be there.
00:20:35.700 Yeah, that's actually going to be a central point, and I think it's going to be hit on, especially up here on this stage.
00:20:49.240 But you think about how Pennsylvania is positioned, and Pittsburgh as well.
00:20:52.440 We're surrounded by rivers.
00:20:53.840 We have abundant land.
00:20:55.040 We have the capabilities for nuclear facilities.
00:20:57.560 We have the capability to use water.
00:20:59.480 And also, you look at the energy exporters.
00:21:01.780 We are the second largest natural gas exporter behind Texas,
00:21:05.100 one of the largest in the, one of the, I would say, top five to ten in the nation, or not the nation, in the world.
00:21:12.800 Nonetheless, though, you look at all of those things coming together.
00:21:16.560 This is a good area in which you can build those data centers.
00:21:19.920 Because keep in mind, even remember when the CEO of ChatGPT said,
00:21:23.640 stop using manners when you're using the algorithm because it takes so much energy just for one user to use AI.
00:21:31.800 So that's why it's going to be especially important to build out that infrastructure because, look, AI isn't going anywhere.
00:21:37.220 I think we all know that it's only going to increase.
00:21:39.820 So it's an important thing here to adapt and be ready for it rather than run from it.
00:21:44.960 That's going to be a key point here that they're going to be talking about today.
00:21:48.220 All right, Michelle, now I've got to ask because, you know, everyone knows my favorite governor in all of the United States,
00:21:55.240 probably my favorite politician in the entire world, of course, is Governor Josh Shapiro,
00:21:59.880 little Josh Shapiro, 5'3", out of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
00:22:04.220 I've got to ask, with all of the focus on Pennsylvania, with all of the corporate innovation that's there,
00:22:10.920 even some of the corporations that I'm not a huge fan of, like BlackRock and Blackstone are there,
00:22:13.940 is Josh Shapiro in attendance? Have you spotted him? You might have to, you know, crouch down a little bit to see him there.
00:22:22.480 Oh, you mean your best friend, right? Well, I can tell you I haven't seen him yet, but I am told that he is here.
00:22:29.040 You also see Senator John Fetterman that is applauding this and participating as well.
00:22:34.540 And look, John Fetterman got his start in politics by being Mayor Braddock.
00:22:38.680 Braddock is one of those abandoned steel towns outside of Pittsburgh that was completely dilapidated,
00:22:43.940 once the steel mills left, and he tried to revamp that.
00:22:47.100 And ultimately, I don't know how he got to the Senate, but somehow that shows you where the Democrats are at.
00:22:51.280 Nonetheless, though, I really can't understand how this couldn't be a bipartisan issue.
00:22:55.460 Senator McCormick said he's welcome to working with anyone on either side
00:23:00.080 because it's all about bringing the economy and industries back to Pennsylvania.
00:23:03.980 We have so many opportunities, including our workforce as well, to do that.
00:23:08.160 So, really, if you aren't on board with this, I really can't imagine that you're rooting for your state in general.
00:23:15.080 But I haven't seen your best friend yet.
00:23:16.920 Jack, if I do see him, though, here today, I'll make sure to tell him you said hi.
00:23:22.260 Please do.
00:23:23.080 And maybe Senator Fetterman could put Josh Shapiro up on his giant, you know, Bigfoot shoulders there
00:23:28.160 so he could look over the crowd.
00:23:29.420 Michelle, we got to run.
00:23:30.340 We're just about out of time.
00:23:31.400 But I'm sure Real America's Voice will come right back to you as soon as it starts.
00:23:36.520 Folks, we'll be right back.
00:23:37.540 Human Events Daily continues.
00:23:45.320 Jack.
00:23:47.280 Where's Jack?
00:23:49.380 Where is he?
00:23:50.660 Jack, I want to see you.
00:23:54.300 Great job, Jack.
00:23:55.680 Thank you.
00:23:56.460 What a job you do.
00:23:57.900 You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:23:59.080 We're always talking about the fake news and the bad.
00:24:01.600 But we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting politicians.
00:24:07.240 All right, Jack Posobiec, here we are, live Human Events Daily.
00:24:10.760 Now, folks, we are waiting for President Trump to begin that AI conference up there in Pittsburgh.
00:24:15.820 But while we do, I have a couple more interviews that we snagged while on the sidelines of Turning Point Student Action Summit down in Tampa
00:24:23.700 and was very honored to actually sit down with Senator Bernie Moreno of the great state of Idaho.
00:24:30.960 Oh, excuse me, the great state of Ohio.
00:24:33.380 I'm going to throw to that now.
00:24:36.600 All right, Jack Posobiec here.
00:24:37.880 Human Events Daily on the sidelines of the Turning Point Student Action Summit.
00:24:42.180 What an incredible success.
00:24:43.260 And it's only because of such a great success because of the support of so many people out there who have come to visit.
00:24:49.860 And then also, that's what's attracted such high-level and high-profile individuals, such as our guest right here,
00:24:56.060 Senator Bernie Moreno from the great state of Ohio.
00:24:58.060 Thanks so much for being back on the show.
00:25:00.400 Senator, now, President Trump, you know, they say presidencies, they only really get, you know,
00:25:06.640 maybe one, maybe two signature pieces of legislation.
00:25:09.600 The Trump tax cuts were the one the first time around.
00:25:13.660 This time around, it's the big, beautiful bill, which enshrines the tax cuts, but it goes a bit further.
00:25:19.900 One of the things that our audience has been really focused on like a laser beam is this ICE budget.
00:25:25.440 We say this essentially 20Xs the ICE budget.
00:25:29.080 You've been a champion for the BBB.
00:25:30.980 Tell us, why was it so important to give ICE that funding?
00:25:35.660 The left, of course, went absolutely bonkers.
00:25:38.660 And I said, wow, you guys are the best salesmen for this thing because of how nuts they went.
00:25:43.220 I said, wait a minute, you guys are turning ICE into a budget that's, you know, higher than any law enforcement agency in the country.
00:25:49.500 And I said, quite frankly, it's needed.
00:25:52.120 But walk us through some of those deliberations and why you came out so strongly for it.
00:25:56.240 Yeah, no, absolutely.
00:25:56.960 Well, look, we've got to remember, because it's hard to, because we've probably put that in the past, what happened during Biden.
00:26:03.360 So during Biden, you had millions of people that came across our border.
00:26:07.420 And Jack, as you know, to come across the border is pretty darn easy.
00:26:11.180 You come across the border.
00:26:12.100 We don't send you back.
00:26:13.240 They didn't send you back during Biden.
00:26:14.820 You cross the border.
00:26:16.180 You raise your hand.
00:26:17.040 You claim asylum.
00:26:18.040 We gave you an airline ticket.
00:26:19.560 We gave you housing.
00:26:20.420 We gave you health care.
00:26:21.160 We gave you food.
00:26:22.060 It was like getting a lottery.
00:26:22.900 So it was so easy to get people and millions of people.
00:26:26.220 Now to get people out, it's really, really, really hard.
00:26:31.040 To get one human being out of this country with all the due process that the Democrats expect, it takes multiple people to do it.
00:26:40.220 Tons of hours of man time.
00:26:41.900 That translates into cost.
00:26:43.580 We had, up until the Big Beautiful Bill, we had 5,000 ICE agents.
00:26:48.360 Tell me how 5,000 people.
00:26:50.140 Across the entire country.
00:26:51.680 The entire United States of America, we had 5,000 ICE agents to deport 20 million people.
00:26:58.700 So tell me how you do that.
00:27:00.180 We have cities with larger police forces than that.
00:27:02.940 By the way, the Capitol Police has more than 5,000 people.
00:27:05.300 I'm sure they do.
00:27:06.300 Right?
00:27:06.640 So it's impossible.
00:27:07.960 And to make it even worse, these sanctuary cities, when they arrest an illegal, rather than saying, hey, this guy's in our jail, come get him, so that one person can go get that one criminal, they would set that person free.
00:27:19.860 So now you need a team of people and cars and backup and investigations to go get that one person.
00:27:27.280 Well, and when you take out, and that's the ICE detainer, when you take that out of the system, what you're doing is you're drastically increasing the risk to those agents, and quite frankly, possibly to anyone else in the community where they might be living.
00:27:41.240 Because you don't know if someone's going to be armed.
00:27:44.140 You don't know, in many cases, they are.
00:27:45.880 You don't know what is going to be facing those agents.
00:27:48.820 And we just saw a couple of days ago here in Los Angeles where they were taking shots at ICE agents conducting an enforcement activity.
00:27:56.820 So it's so much safer, by the way, even for the individual being detained in a situation like that, than to put them in another situation.
00:28:05.700 And yet these sanctuary cities, which, and by the way, my hometown was turned into a sanctuary city in Pennsylvania years ago, and it's just completely been lost.
00:28:15.360 It's completely lost.
00:28:16.580 So I see what this does to towns, but it's also something where you're seeing the effect on the officers as well.
00:28:23.040 Yeah, and let me just, we have to remember why this matters so much.
00:28:26.440 It's not just that you have people that broke into our country.
00:28:28.680 That is offensive enough, but it's driven up our home prices, driven up our car prices, our insurance prices, made our cities dangerous, and it lowered drastically American wages.
00:28:38.480 So we have to reverse that.
00:28:39.600 So what we've got to do is also remember that human trafficking, sex trafficking, child trafficking, and drug trafficking, or money laundering, is now all one criminal enterprise.
00:28:51.140 That's hiding behind front companies and what looks to be legitimate businesses.
00:28:56.960 That's really hard for ICE to go after.
00:29:00.180 So we had to give them the resources.
00:29:01.480 It's going to take a while, but it's the most important thing we got going.
00:29:04.700 But here's the good news.
00:29:05.700 There's nobody else coming in.
00:29:07.080 The faucets stopped.
00:29:08.140 The bleeding has ended.
00:29:09.480 We've had zero paroles into America last month.
00:29:12.820 Zero, Jack.
00:29:13.940 Zero.
00:29:14.120 Imagine if I was on your show last year, a year ago, and said President Trump is going to get it so that not one human being is released into America.
00:29:21.580 He'd say that's impossible.
00:29:22.380 I'd say, well, Senator, I mean, I'm sure he'll do a lot, but, you know, he's not going to get the zero.
00:29:25.900 That's just not, it's not possible.
00:29:27.800 Or bring encounters down by 95% in the first six months.
00:29:32.620 And that's before we gave him the money.
00:29:34.700 Now with the money, we're going to, as Hakeem Jeffries would say, we've turbocharged the effort.
00:29:40.500 Well, you say you don't have ICE on steroids.
00:29:42.620 Yes, we are.
00:29:43.000 Yes, we are.
00:29:44.360 Stop selling the bill.
00:29:45.320 And to your point, to your point as well on how it's become one enterprise is Gavin Newsom.
00:29:52.200 I'm sure you saw Gavin Newsom when they conducted this raid out in California.
00:29:57.860 And they were going to, it turned out it was a cannabis, a couple of cannabis farms.
00:30:00.780 And they were going after the workers.
00:30:03.740 And Gavin Newsom said, hey, you can't use tear gas down there.
00:30:06.640 There's kids in there.
00:30:08.620 Wait a minute.
00:30:09.880 What are miners doing working on a cannabis field?
00:30:13.740 Okay, it's legal in California, whatever.
00:30:15.520 But the point is, why are there miners working there?
00:30:18.200 And it turned out the miners, I believe, because I saw DHAs put out, that they turned out to also be illegals.
00:30:24.220 And I think that speaks to the truth of what you're saying.
00:30:27.220 This is an operation.
00:30:28.460 Well, also, by the way, as somebody who's a legal immigrant to this country from South America, imagine they say, well, who's going to pick our crops?
00:30:36.520 That's the same argument that was made during slavery, Jack.
00:30:39.700 Yes.
00:30:40.260 Right?
00:30:40.900 Look, they say, well, Americans won't do this work.
00:30:43.060 They don't finish the sentence.
00:30:44.720 They won't do this work for that wage and those working conditions.
00:30:48.240 Right?
00:30:48.740 Because, yes, we don't allow 14-year-olds to go work 10 hours a day in this country.
00:30:52.800 And that's a good thing.
00:30:54.320 Right?
00:30:54.900 Ironically, we're the party that protects workers' rights, American workers' ability to earn an income.
00:31:01.260 But when you're competing with people who are willing to basically get starvation wages, that's not what we don't want to turn America into that.
00:31:08.300 So, look, this is the dirty little secret of the Democrats.
00:31:10.620 They wanted cheap labor for their multimillionaire donors.
00:31:13.680 And the party's over.
00:31:15.440 We're going to restore law and order in this country.
00:31:17.220 We're going to stop allowing people to come into this country illegally.
00:31:20.220 And the message has got to be very straightforward.
00:31:22.060 We'll eventually catch every illegal in this country and deport you.
00:31:24.760 That's the message.
00:31:25.800 So, either you do it voluntarily and maybe, with a big M, maybe we give you a path to come back in in some sort of legal way.
00:31:34.100 But if we put hands on you and deport you, you, your family, anybody you ever know, will never be allowed into this country again.
00:31:40.620 Well, in one of the economic forces that you just touched on comparing to slavery, there's a big actual similarity here.
00:31:47.240 Because if you go back in time, the cotton gin was invented before the eradication of slavery in the country.
00:31:53.600 But the reason it wasn't so rapidly and widely deployed in the South was because of the laborers they had.
00:32:00.980 It disincentivized industrialization of that process.
00:32:04.760 So, we have these.
00:32:05.840 What do we need any machines for?
00:32:07.280 You're seeing the same thing now with automation.
00:32:09.840 Exactly.
00:32:10.400 Because we have so many.
00:32:11.720 There's tomato pickers and all sorts of machines.
00:32:14.540 You can go to any farm show.
00:32:16.080 You'll see all this stuff.
00:32:17.080 But there's a disincentivization that goes on.
00:32:19.140 You're from the business world.
00:32:20.060 You get this.
00:32:20.820 They say, what do I need all that capital?
00:32:22.400 Because that's a capital cost that you don't want to incur.
00:32:24.840 And you don't have to if you have this massive cheap labor force.
00:32:27.880 Yeah.
00:32:28.220 If you can bring a bunch of illegals here that will work for starvation labor and then hand those people off to the taxpayer and say, you take care of them.
00:32:35.940 You cover their health care.
00:32:37.180 You cover their education.
00:32:38.420 Yes.
00:32:38.620 You cover their housing.
00:32:39.840 And then there's Americans going, hey, how about me?
00:32:41.980 Right?
00:32:42.180 Like Springfield, Ohio.
00:32:43.400 A town of 20,000, 30,000 people.
00:32:45.420 How is Springfield doing?
00:32:46.500 Well, look, it's going to be doing a lot better now that we're going to get rid of the Haitians.
00:32:50.560 So, I gave the wrong numbers.
00:32:52.080 A town of 50,000 to 60,000 people.
00:32:53.580 18,000 to 30,000 Haitians coming to that community, of which maybe, maybe 500 had jobs.
00:33:00.140 Maybe.
00:33:00.620 And by the way, those 500 jobs belonged to Americans first, right?
00:33:04.140 Yes.
00:33:04.300 But now, what are the other 18,000, 20,000 people doing, Jack?
00:33:07.220 They're on government welfare services.
00:33:09.080 That's for American citizens.
00:33:10.360 Like, how insane is it that you're an elected official, that you swore an oath to protect
00:33:15.260 and defend this country and the people in it, and you're giving away our money to people
00:33:19.740 who broke into this country?
00:33:20.600 How many people would you house in your home that broke into your house?
00:33:25.220 Not a single one.
00:33:26.540 Not a single one.
00:33:27.020 Of course not.
00:33:27.780 Because it's insane.
00:33:28.540 And they play these games, and they'll talk about, oh, you know, and the Bible says love
00:33:34.120 your neighbor, as if that's all the Bible says.
00:33:36.940 There's a little bit more to it there, you know?
00:33:39.100 And by the way, here's what I say, you know, if someone comes to your house, truly, truly,
00:33:44.180 and from the Christian perspective, I'm a Christian, I'm a Catholic, right?
00:33:46.920 And if someone comes to your house and they're truly starving, of course you feed them.
00:33:51.260 That's what my mother taught me.
00:33:52.000 But if someone shows up, hundreds of people, thousands of people, and demands to be fed,
00:33:57.100 no, no.
00:33:57.980 That is not charity.
00:33:59.820 That is force.
00:34:01.640 That is not something we're compelled to do in any way.
00:34:04.360 And at the end of the day, it's a question of, and actually, former Senator J.D. Vance,
00:34:10.960 Vice President Vance, had this diatribe about this of how even Thomas Aquinas talked about
00:34:16.460 how when it comes to duty, you have a duty to your family, you have a duty to your community.
00:34:20.920 As a senator, you have a duty to your constituents first.
00:34:24.940 Well, look, you have a family.
00:34:26.040 Of course.
00:34:26.420 You have to take care of them.
00:34:27.400 Yeah.
00:34:27.740 So how insane would it be if you allowed your kids to starve, literally, and be homeless,
00:34:33.160 but you took care of people who broke into your home?
00:34:35.640 It's just so illogical.
00:34:37.400 And they say that that's compassion.
00:34:38.980 It's not compassionate.
00:34:40.220 It's actually very cruel to Americans, and by the way, very cruel to the migrants also.
00:34:44.760 And I said this on stage when I spoke.
00:34:48.280 I said, look, if we're going to talk about anything, it's got to be after the American
00:34:52.400 people are made whole.
00:34:53.480 Of course.
00:34:53.920 The American people have to be made whole first, and the mass deportations continue.
00:34:58.260 This is so key.
00:34:59.160 And meanwhile, by the way, when we look at President Trump's economic plans, talk to
00:35:03.520 us a little bit about, so the CBO, right, was, of course, emerged as one of these big
00:35:09.980 opponents, if you're going back to the legislation, saying it's going to tank the economy, it's
00:35:14.500 going to destroy everything.
00:35:15.600 You got tariffs on one hand, you got the BBB on the other, it's going to destroy everything.
00:35:20.000 One week after the big, beautiful bill is signed, and I was at the White House, got
00:35:24.560 to see the B2s, of course, I wasn't going to go down, but then when I heard the B2s, you
00:35:28.080 got to say, I brought the kids, okay, we're going to go see the B2s.
00:35:31.200 You'll appreciate this.
00:35:32.140 My wife goes, see, which ones are the B2s?
00:35:34.100 He said, they're the big ones, baby.
00:35:35.360 They're the big ones.
00:35:36.160 You'll see it.
00:35:36.700 They're the big ones.
00:35:39.300 But now all of a sudden, they come out and say, we have a surplus.
00:35:42.480 Oh, yeah.
00:35:42.880 Oops.
00:35:43.040 We have a surplus.
00:35:43.460 It wasn't a $3.4 trillion deficit.
00:35:46.640 It's actually, we actually cut it by $400 billion.
00:35:49.100 Can you imagine being off by $3.8 trillion?
00:35:51.520 But here's the headline.
00:35:52.980 Look, this bill-
00:35:54.100 I know we're talking about that.
00:35:55.060 I know we're talking about that.
00:35:55.800 First of all, we defunded Planned Parenthood.
00:35:57.980 Amazing.
00:35:58.360 Think about that for a second.
00:35:59.260 For one year, but it's a start.
00:36:00.700 A billion dollars we took out of their budget.
00:36:03.160 Number two, child tax credit.
00:36:04.840 $2,200.
00:36:05.680 If it hadn't been for the bill, that would be zero.
00:36:07.900 We preserve the standard deduction.
00:36:09.700 No tax on tips.
00:36:10.560 No tax on overtime.
00:36:11.660 No tax on Social Security.
00:36:12.920 This is the first bill that I know of that actually goes to putting American workers whole, to giving them the opportunity.
00:36:23.240 So the number, by the way, this will blow your mind.
00:36:25.740 The average Ohio family of four will get $7,500 in their pocket as a result of this bill.
00:36:31.140 What we took away was $7,500 subsidies for millionaires to lease electric vehicles.
00:36:37.840 I love it.
00:36:38.720 In Biden land and Democrats, you could get a check for $7,500 from the federal government if you leased an electric Porsche, an electric Rolls Royce.
00:36:48.240 That's a true story.
00:36:49.000 People on social media, that's not true.
00:36:51.660 I'm like, fact check it.
00:36:52.960 $7,500 for somebody who leased a $600,000 Rolls Royce.
00:36:56.900 This is now $7,500 for working Americans that, due to Democrat policies over the last four years, couldn't afford to go out to eat, couldn't afford groceries, couldn't afford rent, couldn't afford a car.
00:37:06.660 Senator, I know you've got to run.
00:37:08.620 Right before you go, I ask you a tough question.
00:37:10.700 Do you think there's an appetite in the Senate, in the Congress in general, for another big bill coming through at all?
00:37:19.220 Do you think that President Trump has the capital?
00:37:22.100 Do you think it's possible?
00:37:23.060 Are we going to see that before midterms?
00:37:24.620 A hundred percent fact.
00:37:25.940 I call it the second big, beautiful bill.
00:37:28.200 I've already have it named.
00:37:29.040 We're going to get it done.
00:37:30.300 We're going to get the tariffs and the legislation.
00:37:32.480 So for the next president, we're going to make some of these working class programs last a little bit longer.
00:37:39.980 We're going to do a lot of great things.
00:37:41.600 Look, we have to.
00:37:42.820 We've got to turn this country around.
00:37:44.560 It's an honor to be there serving along our great vice president, our great president.
00:37:49.140 By the way, a year ago, tomorrow, could have been a whole different deal.
00:37:53.220 Amen.
00:37:53.700 Senator Bernie Moreno, thank you so much for joining us here.
00:37:55.560 Thank you.
00:37:55.740 Thank you.
00:37:55.880 Thank you, Jack.
00:38:00.260 All right, folks.
00:38:01.260 So that was our sit down with Senator Bernie Moreno.
00:38:05.240 And I really do want to point out something that Senator Moreno said there.
00:38:09.320 Look, Ohio is, well, they're not a border state unless you consider their, you know, water border with Canada across the Great Lakes.
00:38:18.900 But he pointed out that even in a state like that, even in a state like Ohio that's so far away from the southern border, illegal immigration is still a massive issue for them.
00:38:29.120 And 5,000, only 5,000 ICE agents nationwide, smaller than the police force of major cities, smaller than the Capitol Police Force, was all they had for the deportation operations for 20 million, at least 20 million people.
00:38:46.360 It was a joke.
00:38:47.360 It was ridiculous.
00:38:48.360 So right now, ICE has the ability, because what did we do?
00:38:52.040 We just 20x'd the ICE budget.
00:38:54.920 Now we have the ability to go and conduct more and more of these critical deportations.
00:39:01.520 We'll be right back.
00:39:02.240 Jack Posobiec with Erica Donalds from AFPI.
00:39:06.100 An update on education.
00:39:08.200 Keep it bent standing.
00:39:08.680 All right, Jack Posobiec, we're very excited to have once again here on the program, Erica Donalds.
00:39:23.660 Erica, thank you so much for being here in person.
00:39:25.460 I think for the first time you've been in person.
00:39:27.060 First time in person.
00:39:27.540 And that's what's so great about doing events like this, where you can actually get people together and realize that we all share these interests and we're all working on different aspects, but getting towards the same goal.
00:39:37.260 Yes, and it's great to be in Tampa and at Turning Point with all these excited, patriotic young people.
00:39:42.040 Not too far for you, right?
00:39:43.060 Not at all, but this is actually my hometown.
00:39:45.120 I grew up in Tampa, and yeah, we live about a couple hours south.
00:39:48.220 Oh, okay.
00:39:48.700 That's great.
00:39:49.640 My brother has moved here now.
00:39:51.280 He came down a couple of years ago and just fell in love with it.
00:39:53.920 Hey, it's the great state of Florida.
00:39:55.680 I mean, what's not to love?
00:39:56.700 I completely agree.
00:39:58.040 I want to, you know, we have you on talking about school choice so much.
00:40:00.700 This Supreme Court case that just came down regarding, which really opts into a sort of educational choice element regarding LGBT studies.
00:40:12.180 Tell us, how big of a victory is this?
00:40:14.960 Well, the Mahmood case, the one that you're referring to, now allows parents to opt their children out of objectionable content in the schools.
00:40:23.280 It's shocking that it even had to go to the Supreme Court, but they made the right decision in allowing these parents for religious purposes to opt their children out of what was LGBTQ content in reading lessons.
00:40:35.260 It wasn't a separate health lesson, but it was infusing this ideology throughout the core curriculum.
00:40:41.800 Parents wanted to opt out.
00:40:43.060 The school district said too many parents are opting out, and it's disrupting the school day.
00:40:47.680 This is what they said.
00:40:49.220 I didn't realize that was their argument.
00:40:50.480 That is why they stopped them from opting out, and parents sued.
00:40:54.240 And these weren't, you know, MAGA parents.
00:40:56.120 These were Muslim parents and Protestant parents.
00:40:58.580 They were religious parents from that community in Maryland.
00:41:01.960 Yeah.
00:41:02.280 We're saying that they wanted their children to be able to opt out from those lessons.
00:41:06.300 I say this is actually a bigger issue, and it does give rise to what I think will ultimately be a Supreme Court case.
00:41:13.560 If a parent can opt out of individual lessons because it doesn't align with their ideology or their religious beliefs or their values at home, why can't they opt out of the entire system, which we know is completely infused with left-wing ideology and anti-religious bias?
00:41:29.740 So is there any language in this ruling and in this opinion that would lend itself towards that?
00:41:37.000 This is now precedent.
00:41:38.740 It is precedent, and the Supreme Court was very careful to be narrow in its ruling.
00:41:43.040 As they are.
00:41:43.460 However, it does make sense, and I think we can very easily demonstrate that teachers, when they are off script or through, if you look at what the teachers' union does in their trainings, it is absolutely infused with political and left-wing ideology.
00:41:58.360 And I know there are a lot of parents that are concerned that it's not just in the curriculum, but it's actually normalized in public schools, this left-wing bias, the LGBTQ, the gender ideology, and so many parents now are demanding the ability to opt out, but not just to opt out, but be able to take those funds with them and choose the education that they believe is fit for their child.
00:42:19.200 It goes all the way back down to the teacher schools, because I always tell people, you're worried about the schools, but it comes down to, all right, think about it.
00:42:28.440 When you were in college, who were the people that you knew that were going to teaching school?
00:42:32.420 It was always the leftists.
00:42:33.900 It was always the far lefties that you knew, the lefties of lefties.
00:42:37.180 Those were the ones that were going up to be teachers.
00:42:39.840 This is an issue, by the way, that I think at some point we're going to have to address on the right, because we need some kind of response to that.
00:42:49.200 That's why in the schools that I have started, several classical schools here in Florida and states around the country, we do not hire graduates from teacher colleges.
00:42:59.020 For the most part, we hire math majors, science majors, history majors, English majors, and then we put them through a training program that helps them to teach in a classroom.
00:43:08.460 But I would much rather, even as a parent, have someone who is seeped in content expertise and then teach them how to teach that passion of theirs, if they're passionate about history, rather than someone who's been indoctrinated through a teacher college and really doesn't even know mathematics themselves to teach my children.
00:43:23.800 It hasn't worked in the public schools, obviously.
00:43:25.600 Only a third of our children in America are reading and doing mathematics proficiently.
00:43:29.960 That's so sad.
00:43:30.360 So we need to do something different.
00:43:31.640 We can start there, like you said, with where we're sourcing our teachers.
00:43:34.360 But next up, and thanks to the one big, beautiful bill, we're taking a huge step on being able to enact school choice across the country and bring free market competition so that parents are going to have multiple high-quality options to choose from.
00:43:47.360 It's funny you mention about students in this country because, so my wife comes from Eastern Europe originally, and she kind of started her degree there, but then she finished it here, and she had a gap, et cetera, not to get into all of it.
00:44:00.740 But some of the credits didn't transfer over, so she had to take some American math classes at the college level.
00:44:06.940 And she goes into the class because she's got to get the credit, and she goes in, and she comes to me and she says,
00:44:12.260 Hey, sweetheart, this is what you're teaching at a college level?
00:44:16.600 She said, back home in Eastern Europe, this is what we teach to freshman high schoolers.
00:44:21.620 This is, you know, not kids, but this is basic stuff.
00:44:25.560 And you're teaching it in college.
00:44:27.000 She said, it doesn't make any sense to me.
00:44:28.520 It has been dumbed down.
00:44:29.620 It's why dual enrollment is so popular because high-performing high school students were actually outsourcing high school math to the community colleges and to the universities,
00:44:38.460 allowing them to dual enroll and get college credit because the high school mathematics courses are not challenging enough for our brightest students,
00:44:45.540 and they have to move on and do college work.
00:44:47.720 But that college work is, as you said, more like high school level, what our children should be learning in high school, and they're not.
00:44:54.160 Unfortunately, even in grade levels like 10th grade level mathematics, our students are not at a 10th grade level when they graduate high school.
00:45:03.640 When we talk about our test scores, we're usually testing at a 10th grade level, not a 12th grade level, where we say a third of our students are doing math proficiently.
00:45:11.520 Right.
00:45:11.780 And then so those are going into college.
00:45:14.260 Then if they want to take anything with STEM, you've basically got to start at the beginning.
00:45:18.180 They're totally unprepared.
00:45:18.980 So you're behind anyone who's already coming ahead of that.
00:45:22.160 Yeah.
00:45:22.880 And that's why we have to completely reform the system.
00:45:25.220 I mean, people say that I want to destroy public education because I promote school choice and I promote the ability to vote with your feet and take a funding with you.
00:45:33.640 And I say I'm not trying to actually destroy public education, but I am trying to destroy the monopoly that the government enjoys in public education because the monopoly is what is lowering the quality for everyone.
00:45:45.280 It does that in any industry.
00:45:47.000 Why wouldn't it happen in education?
00:45:48.600 And we're not getting the innovation and the quality and the access that we could have in a free market system.
00:45:54.320 Simple.
00:45:54.680 So thanks to President Trump, the school choice president, we're going to have a lot more opportunity for that in the future.
00:45:59.880 Erica Donalds, where can people go to follow you?
00:46:01.480 At Erica Donalds, Erica with a K, no C.
00:46:05.080 On Twitter, on all social media and ericadonalds.com if you want to get in touch with me.
00:46:10.280 But definitely follow what we're doing because there are a lot of great wins, especially in the Trump administration, that are empowering parents to choose the education that's best for their children.
00:46:18.680 God bless.
00:46:19.120 Thank you so much.
00:46:19.480 Thank you.
00:46:19.900 Thank you.
