00:02:49.380
on this with donald trump um i think he's shifting gears and i want to play just a real quick clip
00:02:59.920
uh from donald trump um let me see where it is um where he is he's talking about we have it maybe we
00:03:10.600
don't have it uh is it cut five no no no um let me just explain it to you because i don't know where
00:03:17.860
the clip is um he was asked on this nbc news interview what did you learn by uh your actions
00:03:26.840
in minnesota okay now it wasn't a hostile question i read it hostile because it might have
00:03:32.080
been in the reporter's mind as a really hostile question but i've heard that asked of george w bush
00:03:37.580
um and george w bush didn't answer it well uh barack obama was horrible what did you learn in your
00:03:46.120
first year what did you learn and you know this or that that you know people just are dumb and they
00:03:52.300
don't understand i'm getting talk back please in my ear uh you know they don't they don't understand
00:04:00.880
i you know i i don't know what i should have learned from that um basically i didn't learn anything
00:04:09.260
um biden did this trump kind of did this too what did i learn and he didn't have a really good humble
00:04:15.880
answer to it um biden was even worse you're just too stupid you know i didn't say it loud enough i
00:04:21.900
didn't say it enough i didn't you know whatever here's how donald trump answered this and i haven't
00:04:39.260
what did i learn in minnesota i learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch
00:04:49.720
we still have to be tough these are criminals we're dealing with real hard criminals
00:04:54.080
but look i've called the people i've called the governor i've called the mayor i spoke with him
00:04:59.200
we had great conversations and i see people ranting and raving out there literally you know as though
00:05:05.580
those calls weren't made but i learned that if i had a little softer touch
00:05:10.420
that's huge for donald trump and let me tell you why that's so huge
00:05:18.760
is a guy that doesn't he thinks how can i say this
00:05:39.480
that show him on who he really is this soft giving kind unbelievable guy who just is not
00:05:50.320
the guy you see on television he's got this entire other side
00:05:56.940
and i asked him at one point as i'm signing this
00:06:04.420
release form of this non-disclosure form i'm like i looked at him i said why
00:06:11.140
no mr president that's exactly what they need to know
00:06:14.380
that's that's the this is such an important part of you that nobody ever sees
00:06:20.840
it's weak it's not weak but he is from this older generation
00:06:25.720
and he's the president he knows he needs to look strong etc and he doesn't ever show his softer side
00:06:34.460
um and i think that's i just think that's a crime uh you know in a way because
00:06:45.620
on that side you don't understand the full picture of donald trump
00:06:55.640
i still have to be tough but i need a softer touch
00:07:04.000
he goes on and says you know the good shooting and the
00:07:08.720
look they weren't angels but their actions didn't justify fatal shootings
00:07:13.360
have you heard anyone on the left say the opposite of that
00:07:48.680
and having a subpoena from the house oversight and government reform
00:07:58.440
it bothers me that somebody's going after bill clinton
00:32:06.080
warfare that i i hope i mean i have i i trust my
00:32:10.660
president and i trust our defense department i'm
00:32:23.040
something that's real that's absolutely real and
00:32:52.600
a cast have you had an x-ray no he broke my arm
00:32:54.920
i'm telling you it broke my arm cop wasn't even
00:32:57.680
around whatever it was put cameras on cops that's
00:33:05.140
story it keeps them true and it keeps the lying
00:33:34.660
enemies foreign or domestic that's what they're
00:33:36.460
sworn to do they take an oath to protect that and
00:33:39.860
to serve that what do the cops take they take an
00:33:49.380
my local cop has to wear a vest ice gonna have to
00:33:54.020
wear a vest the gas station the grocery store the
00:33:56.840
front porch dogs have cameras now but the people
00:34:05.940
operate that power operate the systems they're on
00:34:10.920
the honor system uh honor in washington dc is two
00:34:18.940
there's no honor there so here's a radical thought why
00:34:24.160
don't we flip this around cops wear cameras because we
00:34:26.940
say power requires accountability great let's finish
00:34:30.280
the sentence here if you hold public office you wear a
00:34:33.380
camera and not at your speeches not during your press
00:34:36.800
conferences all the time i mean not all the time i
00:34:41.040
mean you're gonna you know there are times you're not
00:34:43.280
gonna wear a camera congressional body cams cabinet
00:34:47.060
level gopros senators with a blinking red light that
00:34:51.060
says yeah remember senator we're watching you want to meet
00:34:55.200
a lobbyist great smile you're on candid camera you want to
00:34:59.160
negotiate you know a bill at midnight great america's
00:35:02.740
watching the uncut version you want to say this isn't how
00:35:09.180
the real world works perfect could you define the real world
00:35:13.160
please because the one i live in has and demands receipts the one
00:35:18.700
you live in i don't think is the real world because it never
00:35:30.160
i think we've already decided that extreme was acceptable
00:35:36.740
haven't we and if cameras are extreme we then why do we have them for traffic
00:35:46.980
we decided it for every american who doesn't have power
00:35:55.800
why does transparency suddenly become a reason unreasonable the moment it reaches
00:36:00.800
the top why you're watched in everything you do
00:36:04.280
here's why imagine what would happen half of washington would suddenly go you
00:36:11.260
know what i'm too old for this job i should retire i'm gonna let some of
00:36:14.520
these youngsters in that's that's the first thing that would happen
00:36:16.760
another quarter would suddenly rediscover prayer
00:36:19.940
and the rest would spend the first month just asking interns is this thing on
00:36:26.080
corruption would need to be prosecuted it would die of embarrassment here's the
00:36:33.640
thing corruption thrives in the shadows it hates daylight it hates context it hates
00:36:40.740
time stamps you wouldn't need hearings anymore just hit rewind uh i never said
00:36:47.340
here it is at 2 14 p.m sir remember right after the lunch fundraiser you said this
00:36:55.200
i mean protect privacy sure bathroom breaks no camera i don't want to say family time off camera
00:37:02.900
but you're governing red lights on you're doing deals red lights on you don't get secrecy
00:37:11.260
and authority pick one what do you say pick one i'll give you national defense but i would like to
00:37:17.840
make sure that we define national defense because we've also redefined secrecy and top secret
00:37:23.380
top secret uh says here that uh he used three napkins while he was in the congressional lunchroom
00:37:31.080
uh let's classify that as secret please everything's classified as secret now so let's let's look at
00:37:38.760
what's actually needs to be secret and what doesn't it's amazing amazing how quickly behavior changes
00:37:46.020
when you know you're being watched do you know that most people when they steal from their company
00:37:52.740
they don't they don't they don't steal because they're bad people really honestly most people
00:37:59.040
when they start stealing from their company it's not because they're bad people it's because no one's
00:38:05.880
watching them and so something just happens to people when they're not watching not being watched
00:38:12.980
they think people don't care i don't know about you but i care deeply about our country i care deeply
00:38:18.160
about the republic i care deeply about all of the crime that is going on and i'm not talking about
00:38:23.660
on our streets i'm talking about the crime you know that's happening in uh daycare centers
00:38:31.500
the crime that is happening in our government with our own money why would you go steal money from a bank
00:38:37.900
when the bank has limited amounts of cash why wouldn't you steal it from the federal government
00:38:43.320
and the taxpayers that's where the real money is you know you look at oceans 11 we're going to go in
00:38:49.680
we're going to rob all the casinos rookies did you see what they did in minnesota what they're most
00:38:56.880
likely doing in california new york and maybe even your state i gotta tell you bills would become a lot
00:39:03.080
shorter language would become much much clearer deals would suddenly make sense you wouldn't go
00:39:09.380
wait a minute what happened how did that happen why did they pass it that makes no sense at all oh no
00:39:13.880
it would make perfect sense here you are at 101 a.m okay phrases like unintended consequences i think
00:39:24.680
would go extinct the only thing radical that we need is radical transparency
00:39:32.320
and radical transparency doesn't require better people it just requires visible people
00:39:39.660
this is the thing that people misunderstand when when uh our founder said you know this constitution
00:39:48.420
this system of government is wholly in act and inadequate for a non-religious and non-moral people
00:39:54.960
when if you're not if you're religious and if you're uh irreligious and uh and not a moral people you
00:40:05.820
you you can't have freedom you just can't because you're screwing things up you're stealing all the
00:40:15.080
time you're you're cutting the the the line you're you're trying to get away with stuff but if you're
00:40:21.880
religious and moral people all of a sudden you have a governor on yourself you go no that's wrong i
00:40:25.960
can't do that that's wrong we need that governor back but until we get that governor back uh maybe
00:40:32.460
cameras are a good way you know our founders didn't assume that people would be angels they knew they
00:40:37.460
knew the opposite they built a system designed to survive humans humans when they're left to their
00:40:46.740
own devices when they're left alone when they're unwatched when they have access to money and power
00:40:54.980
what's broken in america is not the constitution what's broken in america is the distance between
00:41:04.360
power and the people okay so i guess it sounds funny you know politicians wired like cops
00:41:12.140
you know a capitol hill highlight reel man i'd watch that thing every night c-span with teeth can
00:41:19.820
you imagine but i'm i'm serious nothing restores trust faster than letting people see the truth
00:41:27.560
unfold in real time that's why you know what gave me this idea was i i saw i was watching the news a
00:41:33.900
couple of days ago and i saw that they were saying you know body cameras for ice and i'm like i'm fine
00:41:38.420
with that and then i saw you know them arguing in utah about having cameras in the courtroom for
00:41:44.100
the charlie kirk trial and i'm like what are you crazy you gotta have it you have to you you will
00:41:49.660
create conspiracy after conspiracy after conspiracy you have that whole thing has to be wide open
00:41:54.840
absolutely positively and then i thought wait a minute cameras why don't we have cameras on everybody
00:42:02.320
why don't we have honestly if you're a politician that goes with a job i don't want a camera on me
00:42:07.280
then don't run i know a lot of people that would be like you can put a camera on me
00:42:11.940
most likely until you put a camera on them then there's gonna be all kinds of exceptions no
00:42:18.600
i i'm tired of the spin i'm tired of the summary uh you know i'm i'm i'm tired of wait how did that
00:42:29.900
deal happen well you know they got behind closed doors no sunlight open the curtains sunlight we have
00:42:36.900
the technology to do it today you know and you know what maybe the camera only goes on when you're
00:42:43.000
near uh i don't know somebody who's a lobbyist you're out in the middle you know you're at nice dinner with
00:42:49.820
your wife or something and then a lobbyist ai detects lobbyist three feet from the table boop the red light
00:42:57.240
goes back on uh-oh other politician boop uh-oh reporter boop you know what stopped them from
00:43:05.840
sleeping with all the reporters red lights i mean that red lights kind of define the district that
00:43:13.780
reporters are in now but i mean the red light of the camera that would stop them from sleeping with
00:43:19.600
them ai is like oh you know what seems like the proximity to this reporter is awfully close
00:43:25.800
seems to get farther away and then closer farther away then closer farther away and closer i know what
00:43:31.140
they're doing in there cameras on corruption it has to work a lot harder and and here's the thing
00:43:39.660
most of the politicians are too lazy i say cameras on everybody in washington
