A Muslim is likely to be elected as mayor of New York City, who's also a socialist? And do you feel okay that the mayor of London and New York will both be Muslims? Something doesn t seem right about it. President Donald Trump just finished an incredible press conference out in NATO, and now they have finally acquiesced to the inevitable, which is a strong country and a strong West.

00:04:29.000What's happening in New York City is an insurgency against the West.
00:04:34.000Last night, as we have been covering it more and more, Zoran Mamdani, a 33-year-old, only two years older than me, guy not born in this country, just fine, came here legally, and he wants to become a U.S., I don't even know if he is, is he a fully naturalized U.S. citizen?
00:06:23.000There's something about having both London and New York, the two financial centers Of the West, of the Anglosphere, both have Muslim mayors, and lots of other cities as well.
00:08:58.000Now, when I say, it's very interesting, when I say Christians belong in the White House, I get called a Christian nationalist and a dangerous fascist.
00:09:08.000But when I notice that an Islamist says that Muslims belong in City Hall, it's perfectly fine.
00:09:18.000He's called a, what does the New York Times say?
00:09:47.000Alhamdulillah, there are a million Muslims in this city.
00:09:50.000200,000 of us are registered to vote as Democrats.
00:09:54.000In the last election, only 7% of us voted.
00:09:58.000Now, I will not blame anyone because often it feels like there isn't much to vote for.
00:10:02.000But this June 24th, with early voting starting tomorrow, it is an opportunity.
00:10:09.000An opportunity for us to show that Muslims don't just belong in New York City, we also belong in City Hall.
00:10:16.000He is talking to an Islamic audience, for those of you that can't see the visual, saying that we Muslims belong in City Hall.
00:10:22.000Remember, Muslims do not believe in separation of mosque and state.
00:10:28.000We as Christians have to try to convince other Christians to get involved in politics because we as Christians do not value power as an ultimate goal.
00:11:13.000We as Christians believe the greatest man ever to live, the crucifix I have right here, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, died as a suffering servant and showed us how to live and rose again from the dead, living a sinless life of turning the other cheek and forgiving your enemies.
00:11:27.000And who's the greatest man they say ever live?
00:11:30.000Was a desert warlord who married a nine-year-old.
00:12:38.000They help me and they'll help you, AndrewandTodd.com.
00:12:44.000New York is a perfect example of many things.
00:12:46.000It's a perfect example of so many different forces happening in our country.
00:12:50.000And it goes to show that our debate around immigration is not just about the southern border.
00:12:57.000Securing our southern border is very important and President Trump deserves heroes praise on a repeated and daily basis for what he has been able to do on the southern border.
00:16:57.000And by the way, just so we know, Doha is getting less Muslim as they import more labor from Africa to go do the work of the ruling class of Qatar.
00:18:24.000You can save babies by providing ultrasounds with pre-born.
00:18:28.000Together with the Sanctity of Human Life Month, we're going to save 35,000 babies to show the world that not only do we believe life is precious, but we're going to do something about it.
00:18:37.000Your gift of pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:18:43.000What better way to start this new year than to join us to save babies?
00:18:47.000And $28 a month will save a baby a month all year long.
00:18:51.000A $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

00:20:16.000Anytime we were Wrigley, we had a blast.
00:20:18.000But as I told you, all my material that I would taunt fans with about not winning a World Series since before television and radio, it all went out the window in 2016.
00:20:26.000So I got to come up with some new stuff.
00:20:50.000How do we kind of get rid of this filth, Donald Trump?
00:20:54.000Now it feels like there's a respect, there's an awe, there's an aura.
00:20:58.000Your analysis, Senator Schmidt, of just the vibe shift that we're seeing at NATO the last couple of days.
00:21:03.000Yeah, I think you look back at that election that President Trump won last November.
00:21:08.000It's hard to overstate how significant it was on so many different fronts, right?
00:21:13.000You've got a closing of our border now, which has been very important, but also the realization among especially Europeans that this wasn't some fluke thing.
00:21:20.000This is actually where the American people are, that we want to have America-first foreign policy that takes into account the core interests of the United States of America, which is principally the homeland.
00:21:49.000I went to the Munich Security Conference in February to be America First Conservative delivering that message because so many other senators go there and they tell these Europeans what they want to hear and not the truth.
00:22:01.000And so the truth was you have to step up.
00:22:04.000This whole idea that we're subsidizing your social welfare programs and there was never an adjustment after the end of the Cold War is ridiculous.
00:22:14.000And I was one of the, and then J.D. Vance, of course, gave the speech.
00:22:18.000I was one of like three people standing and clapping when he, you know, excoriated them over their violations of free speech and those ideals that they want to lecture everybody about.
00:22:26.000So I do think what you saw today, the reception of President Trump there, and including the Secretary General and some of the compliments he was making, is an acknowledgement of the Europeans that the Americans are serious about, you know, this burden sharing idea that they dismissed for so long.
00:22:43.000And if they actually get to 5% of their GDP, and not just a percentage, Charlie, but actually munitions.
00:23:40.000And in fact, just to kind of put this in perspective, if they actually spent as much on their defense as we do, it would free up Charlie about $330 billion every year, every year for us to focus on what are our core national interests.
00:23:55.000And that has to be the vast expanse of the Pacific and, you know, rising China, right?
00:23:59.000It isn't to say that Europe isn't relevant, but the truth is our biggest threat isn't coming from that side of the world.
00:24:04.000Our biggest threat potentially comes from China.
00:24:07.000And we have to be, you know, because if you have a strained, if you believe in scarcity, like I do, if you have a strained industrial base, if you're building a bunch of tanks for a land war in Europe, you're not building as many long-range fires in the Pacific that you need.
00:24:21.000So these are the kind of like decisions that we need to be able to pivot that for too long, like I said, there was no adjustment.
00:24:28.000No president wanted to go over there and tell the Europeans this.
00:24:58.000And has anything significantly changed in the midst of all of these negotiations?
00:25:04.000Yeah, so to think of it this way, we'll have another lunch here in a half hour, get some more updates.
00:25:09.000The process that on the Senate side, there's something called the birdbath, meaning it has to be related to budget issues and not purely policy.
00:25:16.000So some things get bounced, some things go back in.
00:25:19.000For example, the parliamentarian bounced this illegal immigrants can't get snap benefits, but really it was because of the way it was drafted coming over from the House.
00:25:27.000So the hope is that we change that and that goes back in.
00:25:30.000So there's some of that stuff that just is like moving parts that will get fixed.
00:25:34.000But there's still, you know, some things we need to work out.
00:25:36.000This salt thing, I mean, I've talked about it on your show.
00:25:39.000I don't know why we'd be subsidizing J.B. Pritzer and Gavin Newsom's bad ideas to the extent that we are, but that's a negotiation.
00:25:46.000The truth is, I think that we'll get that language, that text in the next day or two here in the Senate, and then the shot clock sort of starts.
00:25:55.000We'll have a vote of Rama, and that could very well happen this weekend, and then we'll have a product to send over the House and hopefully be done.
00:26:04.000I will say, even though there are disagreements about where certain things should land, everybody's committed, I think, to delivering this bill because so many of President Trump's key priorities are in it.
00:26:46.000When you get into some other things like, for example, kind of restraining, which I, by the way, would love to be able to do some of the nationwide injunction language that was in a House bill.
00:26:56.000The House doesn't have to worry about those things, but when it comes over the Senate, it changes a little bit.
00:27:00.000Like that's probably going to get bounced and stay out.
00:27:04.000We should still do something about it, but it won't be in the reconciliation, which is kind of a unique creature.
00:27:11.000After Richard Nixon was impounding a lot of money in the 70s, Congress said, look, we want to kind of restrain some of that and we're going to have a more efficient way to actually do this kind of reconciliation process, but you can only do it if you've got a majority in the House and Senate and the White House.
00:28:06.000I want to find as much savings as we can by also delivering on President Trump's message.
00:28:10.000So he put me in like the Senate conservative camp on this stuff.
00:28:13.000But there are some people who would argue that if you're going to get rid of them, you want to wind them down over a period of time because there have been certain investments that have been made.
00:28:23.000The problem with that, Charlie, though, is some of those same folks want to extend the life long enough past 2028.
00:28:32.000And you can imagine why they would because they want to resuscitate it if for some reason the Democrats are ever back in charge.
00:28:38.000And so I do think it's an opportunity for us to end the green new scam and a lot of the things that are just totally inefficient that make us more vulnerable.
00:28:48.000Honestly, they're not healthy for the grid.
00:28:51.000We're actually having a hearing in the Judiciary Committee this week about how China has been trying to influence U.S. energy policy to make it less resilient.
00:29:02.000Meanwhile, they're building coal fire plants every week, and they want our grid to be more dependent on intermittent energy sources.
00:29:09.000And so I think it's important that we get this done and wind those things down quickly.
00:29:23.000What's happening in New York, I think, is a wake-up call right now for a lot of Americans of what we are doing on the legal immigration side.
00:29:30.000If you come here and assimilate, all of us obviously support that.
00:29:33.000But there's a problem, I think, on the legal immigration side.
00:29:35.000Is there any appetite in the Senate conference to make changes to our legal immigration system as we have this very unique majority?
00:29:44.000Yeah, so I've got a bill, actually, Charlie, that we want to make a priority that would expand the expedited review, which allows you to get rid of people who've been here.
00:29:53.000Right now, you're kind of limited to people who've been here for two years or less for expedited removal.
00:29:58.000We want to expand that, larger classes, longer period of time, so that more people can be deported quicker.
00:30:07.000I think that would have a lot of support in our conference.
00:30:09.000But let's not forget, too, kind of going back to the Big Beautiful Bill, there's funding in here for more detention beds, more resources for mass deportations.
00:30:19.000And the reason why it's here, just like some of the defense priorities, is if we do it in the Big Beautiful Bill, Charlie, we front load that for the next three years.
00:30:29.000They can't hold that hostage when we do the normal appropriations process.
00:30:33.000Typically, what they do is they'll hold hostage our immigration priorities and our defense priorities for massive social welfare spending.
00:30:40.000So if we do that now in the Big Beautiful Bill, we don't have to negotiate with Democrats for our immigration policy and our enforcement because we'll already have the money dedicated to more beds, more ICE agents, things like that.
00:30:50.000So that is another reason why the Big Beautiful Bill is so important because it will help us deliver on President Trump's message, which is if here's how we're going to deal with mass migration, we're going to deal with mass deportations.
00:31:06.000Private student loan debt in the United States totals about $300 billion.
00:31:09.000WhyReFi does not care what your credit score is.
00:31:11.000You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget.
00:31:15.000Can you imagine being debt-free and not living under this burden anymore?
00:32:12.000Senator, can you comment on the incredible accomplishment President Trump and his team the last couple weeks to keep us out of a permanent Middle East war, zero U.S. troops dead, while also preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon?
00:32:36.000I know you are sort of American realists, right?
00:32:38.000For a long time, we've had this wandering foreign policy that the neolibs and neoconservatives were espousing that just felt like there was, we were involved in, we were, their idea was to be everywhere all at once all the time.
00:32:51.000And I think we should learn some lessons from the last 30 years.
00:32:54.000And I can't, I mean, he, President Trump handled it exactly the right way and in a way that I think restores confidence in not only American strength, but restraint, right?
00:33:33.000But to be able to do that and then immediately pivot to peace, right?
00:33:38.000Not to get, and he resisted a lot of calls from a lot of people in Washington to get further engaged, to have more entanglement there and the discipline that President Trump had to do what to deal with what something that was in the core national interest of the United States, very clearly limited, articulated, which was they can't have a nuclear weapon, but not to become like, you know, to have outside regime change or we're going to build a democracy in Iran, but to move away from that and get the parties together for a ceasefire.
00:34:08.000He certainly should get all the accolades, the right books about it, I think, someday.
00:34:12.000But I think it's for those of us who've been longing for a leader who actually believes this, it was just, I think, an incredible accomplishment.
00:34:20.000And so some people on Capitol Hill, and I'm not going to name the names, but some of your colleagues were calling for regime change, and he resisted that.
00:34:28.000That is a failed old model of using American force for nation building.
00:34:33.000If the Persian people want to rise up, we will be their biggest cheerleaders and their biggest moral advocates in non-military, non-interventionist ways.
00:34:42.000You get in, you get out, and we're not going to involve ourselves into a permanent quagmire.
00:34:46.000Senator, he almost created a third way.
00:35:10.000But again, a big departure from the worldview of a lot of people in this town.
00:35:16.000I mean, I will tell you when my first two years up here, this is my third year, first two years up here, just some of the, like the disconnect of the conversations in Washington versus ones back home in Missouri was stark.
00:35:27.000Every lunch, you know, we were talking about Ukraine and Ukraine funding.
00:35:31.000Not one person in Missouri, and this is not an exaggeration, has ever come up to me and said, you know what, Eric, what I really want you to do is spend another $80 billion on Ukraine.
00:35:40.000Not one, but that dominated everything here.
00:35:43.000And I think, you know, there were those of us who believe there was a different way and that Europe should step up and we need to focus and we need to pivot and all those sorts of things.
00:35:52.000But really, when you have a president like President Trump who started this transition, I think in 2016, when he won, and then now it's on full display and it works, it just brings more people along.
00:36:12.000There's always something more to get involved with.
00:36:14.000And I think people were concerned about another protracted conflict in the Middle East that we get involved with.
00:36:19.000And President Trump, I think, showed that kind of restraint after doing what he needed to do with the bunker busters to take out the nuclear program.
