Transcript
00:00:00.000
hello everybody and welcome to the great america show it's great to have you with us happy monday
00:00:06.880
everybody seems every monday we stop by here we do the show and something crazy happens at least
00:00:13.880
over the weekend or uh on monday morning something insanely crazy happens and that's exactly what
00:00:20.460
happened uh over this weekend uh just as we got on just now live on tonight's show um something
00:00:26.620
a little unrelated to to politics uh for any of you have been following that case out in idaho i've
00:00:31.820
been following it closely since it originally happened brian kohlberger who was the man accused
00:00:36.240
of killing uh murdering those four college girls with a knife in uh in idaho just accepted a plea
00:00:42.740
deal where he's going to plead guilty to evade getting uh the death penalty that's just happening
00:00:49.060
just moments ago uh so i felt the need to bring that to you if any of you have been following that
00:00:53.280
case like i said i've been following it uh from the inception point so it's great to see
00:00:58.380
that those families can have some closure there those four beautiful women who were brutally murdered
00:01:04.080
by that horrific horrific person so uh you're wondering what happened over the weekend i'm sure
00:01:08.980
some of you guys were paying attention and some of you guys took the weekend off uh we like like we
00:01:14.700
like to do on the weekends but uh under the trump administration it's very hard to take a weekend
00:01:19.400
off as news is always happening over the weekend it was a rhino revolt tom tillis the name you guys
00:01:26.480
all know well very recently singing the nomination of ed martin who was running for dc u.s attorney
00:01:32.240
or appointed i should say by donald trump for dc u.s attorney over the weekend tillis decided within
00:01:39.160
moments of each other that he was not going to seek re-election in 2026 and shortly thereafter
00:01:45.940
he decided he doesn't support the big beautiful bill anymore take a listen to some of his meltdown
00:01:52.140
on the house floor i promise it's going to be short on health care and betraying a promise
00:01:57.500
it is inescapable that this bill in its current form will betray the very promise that donald j trump
00:02:06.760
made in the oval office or in the cabinet room when i was there with finance where he said
00:02:12.740
we can go after waste fraud and abuse on any programs now those amateurs that are advising him
00:02:21.860
not dr oz i'm talking about white house health care experts refuse to tell him that those instructions
00:02:29.820
that were to eliminate waste fraud and abuse all of a sudden eliminates a government program that's
00:02:38.200
called the provider tax we have morphed a legal construct that admittedly has been abused and
00:02:45.680
should be eliminated and to waste fraud and abuse so tom tillis now it's a man who's taken millions
00:02:53.200
and tens of millions of dollars throughout the course of his political career from big health care
00:02:57.520
from big pharma from all these companies that this big beautiful bill targets and i you hear me say it
00:03:02.880
every day on the show is it a perfect bill absolutely not by no stretch of the imagination we all want more
00:03:07.800
cuts in this bill but there's so much at stake without passing this bill so just going back to
00:03:12.980
tom tillis for just a second you had heard me mention ed martin who was uh going to be the dc u.s
00:03:18.840
attorney until tom tillis decided he wasn't going to support him because ed martin supported january
00:03:24.140
sixers so on and so forth ed martin was on a podcast just a few weeks ago our good friends over at
00:03:30.940
right bar alex marlowe and laid out just how corrupt i think tom tillis is and how nervous he
00:03:38.440
got when president trump because you heard tom tillis talking about waste fraud and abuse and
00:03:42.880
getting to the bottom of it but ed martin paints a picture of just how scared tom tillis got when
00:03:49.540
they were all in this meeting together talking about how they were getting ready to get to work
00:03:53.360
take a listen because i think it it paints the picture just of who tom tillis is here's ed martin
00:03:58.200
when donald trump was elected his first day he had a an executive order saying get weaponization
00:04:03.880
out of government when attorney general bondi was uh confirmed she put a memorandum out on day one
00:04:09.020
saying i'm starting a weaponization working group i want you to look at fanny willis and jack smith and
00:04:14.580
alvin bragg i want you to look at targeting school board parents uh catholics i want you to look at the
00:04:19.980
whistleblowers who were targeted long list actually about eight categories and then beyond that we
00:04:25.260
started meeting right away i was a member of it and beyond that actually was other aspects of things
00:04:29.940
like i've worked with bobby kennedy on covid did they weaponize how did they weaponize the the covid
00:04:35.220
stuff against the citizens and and so there's categories all across government getting to the
00:04:40.660
bottom of and three steps alex one is tell the truth we deserve the truth we need to know what
00:04:46.880
happened who did it and why if you have to name and shame we're going to name and shame some of these
00:04:53.200
people don't have shame but we're going to name and shame number two is where possible hold them
00:04:57.740
accountable criminally if they lose their jobs you know take away their uh the the grants to their
00:05:04.060
universities whatever it is make sure that we have accountability so tell the truth hold them
00:05:08.900
accountable and the third thing alex which this did um this made uh tell us a little nervous he's
00:05:13.720
like you're for reparations i said i'm not for reparations i am for restitution if you put somebody
00:05:19.020
in jail for years you should have to and you lied about it you should have to pay for it right if you
00:05:23.860
if you put somebody through the ringer in a way that is unfair and it's deemed unfair by telling the
00:05:29.160
truth holding them accountable you should fix it right this is america you you it shouldn't be
00:05:33.600
strock and page got a sweetheart deal to get paid because their texts were shown you know that
00:05:38.640
happened i got a million dollars because the biden administration americ garland paid them off you
00:05:43.060
know this is the ultimate payoff for inside the mob well no we're talking about people that are truly
00:05:47.480
damaged if you're damaged you should be made whole that's what's at stake with weaponization and we're
00:05:52.280
going to drive all the way down to the bottom of these things we're not going to give up we're not
00:05:57.860
going to hear statute of limitation is run i don't give a darn we're going to still we're going
00:06:02.660
to name and shame we're going to hold you accountable and then we're going to say you know
00:06:05.880
what you got put in jail some of these people rotted in jail for three years on january 6th on a lie
00:06:11.820
that merrick garland and lisa monaco made up andrew weissman created it and tried to use it in the
00:06:17.420
muller and then and then they use it called the 1512 charge it was done incorrectly and a bipartisan
00:06:23.160
supreme court threw it out you know kodaji jackson said yeah you got to throw that out well those
00:06:28.000
people that were in jail as soon as they got that done they walked because they were on misdemeanors
00:06:32.320
only that that's so wrong and un-american we've got to get to the bottom of it and make people whole
00:06:37.320
and we're going to do it so when you hear a man talking like that you think of how much conviction
00:06:42.640
he has and it's a shame that ed martin is not sitting there in the dc u.s attorney's office
00:06:47.420
right now but he's in a place where he's still making impactful decisions trust me on that you've
00:06:53.920
got judge janine piero up in there for his all job but when you hear a man talking like that and then
00:06:59.580
you look at a man like tom tillis who's got no conviction whatsoever a man who's taken tens of
00:07:04.340
millions of dollars and on a show i'm those who join us each and every night just a few weeks ago
00:07:09.740
i broke down how much money he takes and where he gets it from and you guys can go all see that for
00:07:14.120
yourself on opensecrets.org i believe it's opensecrets.org you can see where all your members
00:07:18.980
of congress your senators and so on and so forth are getting their money what the big ag or whatever is
00:07:25.280
is taking uh giving them money so you can tell and you know sort of connect the dots on where these
00:07:31.220
people are and why they're voting the way they are on certain things and why they're not voting
00:07:35.320
the way they are uh on other things but that's just the way it is so you've got this rhino uh
00:07:41.700
tillis but he's not the only one you've got don bacon it's a man i'm sure you uh and and i see that
00:07:47.840
the chats lighten up the comments are lighten up over on facebook and youtube uh about don bacon he as
00:07:53.400
well decided that he's not going to run for re-election in in 2026 and just moments later
00:08:00.800
guess what he said he said that he doesn't support the big beautiful bill anymore
00:08:06.720
it's it to me it's insane that you you have these people who just have no integrity
00:08:12.800
no intestinal fortitude at least be a man if you're going to be against it be a man run again
00:08:19.100
run on your record but these guys are like little mice they hit they run they bite and then they run
00:08:24.640
away and that's exactly what bacon who's been a rhino for a long time tillis another one has been
00:08:29.440
a rhino for a long time i think donald trump has given him a lot more leeway than he should have ever
00:08:33.580
given him uh but that's just who these people are so those of you saying the big beautiful bill and
00:08:39.780
like i said keep repeating myself it's not perfect it's not beautiful as it should be but what happens
00:08:46.580
without the big beautiful bill president trump was on with maria bartoromo yesterday morning
00:08:52.280
take a listen to just a short clip on what happens to our taxes it's very important if we don't have
00:09:00.020
it there's a 68 percent tax increase if we don't have it you know the debt ceiling extension is very
00:09:06.620
important they gave a debt ceiling the republicans gave a debt ceiling because of the importance of
00:09:13.440
doing it they did that for the good of the country and republicans voted for that they did a big
00:09:18.640
favor i don't know that i would have done it to be honest with you but whatever they did a favor
00:09:22.920
now the democrats won't do that favor back in other words you never want to violate your debt
00:09:27.760
governance so they gave you know what i'm saying they gave this four months early it was due in
00:09:34.600
september 28th right before the election uh a group of republicans got together and said you know what
00:09:40.780
this is so serious we should do this for the good of the country i understand that now it's their
00:09:46.380
turn to do it and they won't do it there are a lot of bad people in the democrat party uh i'd say there's
00:09:52.660
a very very bad people in the democrat party but that that's just a small part of it and just moments
00:09:58.260
ago before we got on this show uh the senate hit down a um they called a voter rama where they just go
00:10:05.300
through a bunch of uh little things that they're going to vote on uh voter rama uh striking down a
00:10:11.560
measure to kick illegals off medicaid by a vote of 56 to 44 so just to tell you where these rhinos are
00:10:17.700
at so not with you've got tillis getting ready to leave in 2026 he'll still be around for i guess
00:10:22.680
another 18 months or so he's going to try to make president trump's life's hell because you've got
00:10:27.480
collins you've got tillis now and you've got murkowski so that puts you out of 50 50 then you get one of
00:10:34.220
these other schmucks who thinks they're going to be a savior or whatever they think they are
00:10:37.780
and you've got a big big problem and over in the house it's the same thing you've got don bacon now
00:10:42.420
who's presumably going to make donald trump's life hell for the rest of his time uh because he's
00:10:48.080
probably got a nice seven-figure job lined up like tillis as well i would not be surprised if tom tillis
00:10:54.040
goes into some sort of health care uh industry or you know goes in and uh goes and works for the people
00:11:00.040
that have been paying him for the last few years that he's been in congress but that's what comes
00:11:05.540
with it guys like tom holman who are doing a hell of a job as the borders are they want this thing
00:11:10.940
passed right away um when the big beautiful bill does pass how do you expect that to impact the
00:11:15.760
number of deportations per day which would be twofold threefold vastly increased depends how quick we get
00:11:21.340
more resources on how quick we get the contractors on how quick we bring the beds on i mean governor
00:11:26.040
santos i give him credit we got the facility he's putting up in in florida we'll be filling those
00:11:31.240
beds as quick as we can because we need more beds i mean i looked at this morning i think we got like
00:11:35.220
1700 empty beds we'll fill them in two days so we need more beds that bill will let us sign
00:11:39.760
contracts that are pending for more beds we don't have the money the funding to do it
00:11:44.200
tom holman with a smile on his face we've got empty beds and we want them filled immediately
00:11:49.920
home and doing a heck of a job um at borders are all these people they just want to get to work
00:11:57.640
they just want to get to work and uh they're not letting them so moving on we're going to take all
00:12:04.340
this up today by the way with our guest he's going to be joining us in just a few moments after the
00:12:07.780
break uh professor nick giordano professor of political science here in new york uh brilliant mind
00:12:13.060
a new yorker like myself to break down what this means for us here across america if this thing passes
00:12:19.120
or it doesn't uh but before that the trump administration hard at work and just about
00:12:24.880
everything and their doj i think is off to a better start than it originally was if that makes sense
00:12:31.140
what i just said uh the last two months or so it seems that they've been getting their act together
00:12:35.880
maybe donald trump giving them a kick in the rear end telling them to let's go you know we're running
00:12:40.460
out of time here wasting time here uh the doj charged 324 in the largest health care fraud takedown in
00:12:47.360
u.s history about 15 billion scheme involving 96 doctors nurses pharmacists targeting medicare and
00:12:53.980
medicaid now i don't know if tom tillis knew this was coming today but he cannot be happy about it
00:12:59.280
let's take a listen on that press briefing earlier this morning name is matthew galliotti and i'm the
00:13:03.420
head of the justice department's criminal division thank you all for joining us today as we announce
00:13:09.080
the largest coordinated health care fraud takedown in the history of the department of justice
00:13:14.340
today marks a decisive moment in our fight to protect american taxpayers from fraudsters and to
00:13:22.480
defend the integrity of america's health care system we are announcing today charges against 324 defendants
00:13:33.540
for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately 14.6 billion dollars
00:13:42.760
in false claims submitted to medicare medicaid and other health care programs in a takedown this large
00:13:51.160
i can't possibly describe all of the work that went into dismantling each scheme but there are four key
00:13:57.320
points that bear emphasizing first let me be clear about what these health care fraud schemes mean
00:14:05.340
for every hard-working american family these criminals didn't just steal someone else's money they stole
00:14:12.500
from you every fraudulent claim every fake billing every kickback scheme represents money taken directly
00:14:22.060
from the pockets of american taxpayers who fund these essential programs through their hard work
00:14:28.300
and sacrifice it's nice to see a department of justice that does work where you had merrick garland
00:14:35.740
he was doing work just not the right kind of work he was going after the american people
00:14:39.740
uh when he should have been going after the criminals that's just how it was folks we're going to take a
00:14:45.500

00:16:30.140
professor i'm not going to call you professor you're my friend how the hell are you i'm doing well john
00:16:36.000
how are you uh you know it's just another busy day in america i don't know if you heard the top of
00:16:40.660
my monologue but it's like i go to bed every night nick and and i wake up and i'm like all right
00:16:45.980
maybe it's a quiet news day today and it's never which makes our job nick so much fun i gotta be
00:16:53.500
honest during the i don't really get depressed but during the obama biden era which i'm talking about
00:16:59.920
the last four years the old biden era it was kind of boring man you know we woke up and it was like oh
00:17:05.540
did he fall down the stairs today you know who's changing his diaper today and i'm not even being
00:17:10.560
funny about it it's just it's what it was and you've got this administration now where it's like
00:17:15.520
nothing ceases to amaze me with with what's going on we woke up this morning to the largest
00:17:20.740
health care medicaid bust in the history of this country coupled with two rhinos departing congress
00:17:27.500
coupled with just a few moments ago uh the the rhinos and the dems voting against kicking
00:17:32.640
illegals off of medicaid it's like it's we're never digging for news well uh let's be honest
00:17:39.520
here it used to be that news segments used to last about two or three days now they last about two or
00:17:44.040
three minutes with president trump in office it really to stay on top of it it can get overwhelming
00:17:49.560
but you're right it is fun it's exciting it's certainly interesting times but it also shows you
00:17:55.260
how broken the system really is you know the government accountability office has been talking about for
00:18:01.200
years that between 10 to 40 percent of all medicaid claims is fraudulent this is a 600 plus billion
00:18:08.040
dollar program so even if we take the lower number at 10 percent that's 60 billion in fraud per year
00:18:14.560
and you saw what 300 plus doctors and can do the damage that they do and we've known about this and it's
00:18:22.780
about time that we have an administration that gets their butts in gears and becomes stewards of
00:18:27.860
taxpayer dollars starts targeting this fraud that's been occurring for far too long where doctors will
00:18:34.060
overbill you going for a cold and they're telling that they did stress tests and blood tests and all
00:18:39.240
this other work on you it's completely ridiculous but it shows how much work has to be done and it really
00:18:46.680
is amazing it shows you the the swamp is so powerful and you know it used to be charles kradhammer
00:18:52.260
said it brilliantly years ago that when government programs become the norm they only expand and the
00:18:59.500
fraud and abuse only get worse and that's what we're witnessing like we shouldn't have to have a
00:19:04.640
debate about whether or not illegal immigrants should have access to medicaid they shouldn't there should
00:19:10.780
be no debate congress shouldn't have to pass a law that that bans this to kick medic illegal immigrants
00:19:16.360
off the medicaid rolls and yet here we are nobody knows that medical system like you you've got a few
00:19:21.660
young boys who play sports who are constantly hurt you have a wife who just was going through some
00:19:26.700
surgeries it's it really you know it's crazy to me to think that the people legislating are the ones
00:19:32.860
who are getting the kickbacks they're the ones making the money so it's like it's like cheating
00:19:37.060
on your wife and then letting your wife see your phone you're like well i know i'm gonna get caught
00:19:40.200
if i show her my phone so if i don't show her my phone i won't get caught it's like these are the
00:19:44.100
people it's the same thing with like term limits right well you're gonna you're asking the guy
00:19:49.500
uh to vote against him getting you know whatever uh a pay cut and getting kicked out of office
00:19:55.640
or do we let him stay how do you like differentiate between letting these people these guys who are the
00:20:02.980
ones who are the bad guys being able to legislate for the worst guys well for the politicians it's
00:20:09.240
simply that they don't care they they don't have a respect for the american people anymore they believe
00:20:14.480
that public service means to rule over as opposed to serve the public and and the reason i say that
00:20:20.000
and it cuts cross party lines is because just think about how many election cycles we've heard
00:20:25.860
republicans say that they're going to run on the idea of fiscal responsibility and yet the budgets
00:20:30.740
just get bigger and bigger and bigger i mean listen the fact of the matter is that we're still
00:20:36.240
spending at pandemic levels despite the pandemic being over for i mean it was over in march of 2020 for me
00:20:42.540
but but despite the fact that uh the pandemic ended uh three years ago and yet why is it so difficult
00:20:49.700
to cut out that type of spending and i think it shows you how deeply entrenched the corruption is
00:20:55.540
within the system itself where you have someone like a senator tom tillis that will go out there say
00:21:01.580
one thing to his constituents and do the exact opposite when it comes time to vote but then again
00:21:07.740
they're never held accountable for their actions that you know incumbents win 80 percent of the time
00:21:13.660
tom tillis saw the writing on the wall because i think the majority of republican voters themselves
00:21:19.200
have had enough and listen it's not that you can't dissent right i mean if we juxtapose senator tom
00:21:25.400
tillis with senator rampaul notice nobody is criticizing senator rampaul nobody's saying that he should be
00:21:32.020
primaried because rampaul is someone that sticks by principles you may not agree with him you may not like
00:21:37.220
certain things he says but he's actually really consistent where senator tom tillis is not he'll
00:21:42.380
tell people one thing and do the exact opposite this should not be hard when it comes to the big
00:21:47.900
beautiful bill and i did hear your opening monologue and i agree this bill is not perfect there's a lot
00:21:53.640
of things that i would love to see in this bill a lot of further cuts but the reality is we have to deal
00:22:00.620
with what we have right now and i think that when you look at the taxes i mean you you just look at the
00:22:06.020
narratives where tom tillis plays right into the democrat narrative oh well this will hurt the
00:22:11.200
the working class the middle class that this is all for billionaires well no it's not let 86 percent
00:22:17.680
of the trump tax cuts back in 2017 went to those on the lower income sex scale everyone benefited from
00:22:25.460
those tax cuts and when we look at what those tax cuts did it led to enormous economic growth in fact
00:22:32.440
the irs treasury was taking in more revenue and even though the cbo which is routinely wrong
00:22:39.160
notoriously wrong at every estimate said that the government was going to massively increase that
00:22:45.040
that tax revenues were going to drop they actually increased dramatically so we we look at this and we
00:22:51.000
see well democrats are saying this is a bill for billionaires yet billionaires aren't really getting
00:22:56.500
anything out of bill no tax on tips doesn't help billionaires that helps lower to lower middle class
00:23:03.740
workers no taxes on overtimes how many billionaires do you know are sitting there putting in punch cards
00:23:09.800
where they're tracking their overtime how many there's none okay and so that's it's things like
00:23:15.580
that that matter in this bill but republicans do a terrible job what messaging that conveying that to
00:23:20.920
the american public and republicans are their own worst enemy they don't have to worry about the
00:23:25.780
democrats because they're good at attacking each other no you're absolutely right i want to get
00:23:29.940
to some of these comments here um over on youtube amber a fox news poll found that only 38 percent of
00:23:35.920
voters support the big beautiful bill independence posed at 73 to 22 even top trump's top demographic
00:23:42.100
white men without college degree oppose it 53 to 43 the bill is incredibly unpopular on both sides
00:23:47.980
of the aisle it adds trillions to the debt 11 million people lose their medicaid and health insurance
00:23:52.480
that's not true uh maybe 11 million illegals will uh of course the rubes and dunces will cheer this bill
00:23:58.660
on uh and they're going to be getting their huge raises so first of all i i won't bash fox news with
00:24:04.680
you on here uh just for your own sake but i don't trust the fox news poll that comes out but it you know
00:24:11.500
we're not disputing the fact that it's unpopular that's what you know it's what they're given you have a
00:24:17.560
three-seat majority in the senate okay and it's really a zero seat majority because you've got
00:24:22.580
three rhinos who are going to vote against just about everything president trump does for the next
00:24:26.600
three and a half years in the house i don't even know what the majority is down to now but it's it's
00:24:31.540
like i can count on one hand what it is it's the best possible bill that they can put forth now
00:24:37.440
before president trump's tax cuts expires uh we have another comment in here please explain how does this
00:24:42.500
how do taxes go up 68 if the bill doesn't pass uh so what president trump says that that's over on
00:24:49.020
youtube warnock dan uh it's not a 68 i think it's conflated how president trump says a little bit
00:24:54.940
it's not a 68 tax increase on people what he's saying is 68 of the population is going to get a tax
00:25:02.920
increase in one way or another and you know you look across the board the child tax credit was doubled
00:25:07.660
under this uh the the average rate was down two or three percent on the tax bracket you know you
00:25:12.880
could go down on the list if you want to elaborate a little bit on on this uh nick well i want to take
00:25:18.180
on a couple things so first of all as far as adding debt if we look at the cbo scoring the cbo is stating
00:25:25.740
that it's going to be 3.3 trillion dollars that are added to the debt over the course of a 10-year
00:25:31.400
period now i'm not someone that likes to add to the debt but the cbo is the cbo they are routinely
00:25:38.860
wrong whenever they do their estimates and so i can't take that seriously at the same time you do
00:25:45.280
have republicans that are promising now i'm not holding my breath and i would never hold my breath
00:25:49.440
on this one but they're promising to tackle the spending in the actual budget bills that are supposed
00:25:55.760
to be starting in august when they start debating those budget bills for the october fiscal year
00:26:00.740
yeah so if we look at economic growth the cbo is calculating that this bill would generate 1.7
00:26:07.700
percent of economic growth in gdp well let's say they're wrong let's say it's 2.7 or 3 well right
00:26:15.160
there alone that that's going to cut the amount of debt that's added okay so we have to understand
00:26:20.560
that these are all just estimates as far as the optics 38 of the people supporting this listen i i took
00:26:27.060
this bill to task in my own podcast the pas report but the the fact of the matter is that most people
00:26:33.740
have no idea what's in this bill and that's where the republican messaging has been terrible democrats
00:26:38.720
are the ones that are framing this debate and i don't know why when they say that people are going
00:26:43.160
to get kicked off medicaid the only thing that's going into medicaid is that they are doing a able
00:26:49.100
bodied work or school requirement that if you are an able bodied individual you you are physically able
00:26:55.320
and you are mentally sound that you have to either work 80 hours a month or attend school 80 hours a
00:27:02.220
month i don't think that's too much to ask i mean i remember when bill clinton did welfare reform and
00:27:07.960
put in the work requirements and the american people were cheering that on but see there's a lot of
00:27:14.020
americans that are saying oh you're trying to kick people off medicaid when that is not the case and
00:27:19.500
why should an able-bodied person of sound mind and body be able to to collect medicaid get medical
00:27:25.900
insurance taxpayer funded when they can go out and get a job it's completely ludicrous but this is where
00:27:33.220
republicans lose the argument because democrats make it an emotional argument and republicans don't push
00:27:40.060
back on that no you're absolutely right and their messaging has never been good it's always been
00:27:45.680
some sort of nonsense milquetoast bs and it's the reason why the republicans are going to get killed
00:27:51.940
without donald trump when donald trump is gone it's going to be a bloodbath for republicans and people
00:27:57.440
are going to hate me for saying this but it's just the truth donald trump has carried so many people
00:28:01.520
across the finish line that they're not going to realize what they had uh until it's gone and that's
00:28:07.140
and john i don't mean to interrupt but this is not complicated politics is not rocket science first
00:28:12.360
of all there's limited money in the pot so the more people that access these programs the less
00:28:17.360
benefits there are available to the people that are receiving these programs so when you have millions
00:28:23.200
upon millions of people that are able to work and receive these benefits who is that hurting well it's
00:28:28.540
hurting the actual people on disability the people that aren't physically able to go to work or mentally
00:28:34.160
able to go to work i'd rather give them more money in their benefits and take away the moochers off the
00:28:40.020
system than sit here and say you know people are going to lose their insurance no they're not if you
00:28:46.180
follow the rules well you shouldn't have been on this program in the first place and we have to get
00:28:51.000
rid of the waste fraud and abuse that's going on because there's far too many people that have become
00:28:56.060
addicted to the system yeah yep and nobody wants to do it because it's the same people like i said
00:29:01.400
who are legislating who are part of the problem and understand the majority of people aren't receiving
00:29:05.660
medicaid that's the amazing part so this isn't even going to impact that many americans and yet
00:29:11.980
democrats have cornered the argument on this it's what it is we're going to take a quick break here
00:29:16.700

argue with you over that one uh gene hall over on facebook you're due for your next booster bubba go
00:31:04.400

00:31:12.040
nice job now it's time for some convictions i think that's uh what we're all waiting for out
00:31:18.480
of this doj uh chris holmes joining us from uh summers point new jersey thanks for tuning in
00:31:23.660
uh there's some people calling us traitors to our party uh we won't give them a shout out casito
00:31:28.860
doctor over on rumble thanks for tuning in um let's let's take this one over on facebook because i think
00:31:35.500
this is an interesting one most people have no idea the republican party i think it loves to lose
00:31:40.920
elections because it puts them in the spotlight to raise huge amounts of cash donations that they
00:31:45.400
can stuff into their own pockets from bill over on facebook i think he's absolutely right the only
00:31:51.160
problem is is donald trump's got like a ridiculous amount of money right now in the war chest so why
00:31:56.900
would the republicans want to do that nick no when mitch mcconnell uh became the majority leader the first
00:32:02.940
time he actually said that it's better to be in the minority yes because the the expectations are
00:32:08.900
very low on the minority party in the senate and you have tools to block anything the majority party
00:32:14.280
wants to do brilliant if you have the majority in the senate most americans are completely unaware
00:32:20.140
that for most bills you need a 60 vote threshold so you have to get the other party on board members
00:32:25.360
of the other party on board but the american people think oh well the majority they should be able to
00:32:30.380
pass the bill that you know republicans shouldn't need anyone to pass this bill but it's much more
00:32:35.500
complex than that so i i think that republicans lose because two reasons one they still think that
00:32:41.980
they're dealing with the 1980s 1990s democrats that democrat party has been dead for the last decade at
00:32:48.380
the very least it doesn't exist anymore and republicans are playing by a different set of rules
00:32:54.140
the second thing is that republicans will many of them want to be liked they they want to be
00:33:00.880
invited to the washington dc parties the cocktail parties they want to be liked by the media that
00:33:07.640
they want to receive the praise and we we see how that operates i don't care about being liked i want
00:33:14.140
to see statesmen again i'm not a fan of the big beautiful bill i don't like the fact that we're
00:33:19.020
increasing military spending because i think there's so much waste in the department of defense
00:33:23.160
it doesn't need to be increased we just need to spend the money more responsibly if it was up to me
00:33:27.900
i'd cut government by 50 percent i think that the bureaucracy is the biggest threat to the american
00:33:33.200
public it's emerged as like the fourth branch of government that is unconstrained by the constitution
00:33:38.720
and operates independently from the other branches i think that is the biggest story i think that's the
00:33:43.880
biggest threat and again republicans they talk a good game right they spoke about we're going to take
00:33:49.880
on the weaponization of government we're going to rein in the the pfizer abuses and what happened
00:33:55.700
fiza came up for a vote and they reauthorized it with very few changes they put in some changes but
00:34:01.140
not many and it shows you that there are some that once they're in power they like that power too so
00:34:07.220
they will criticize democrats for that power but now that they're in the hot levers of power
00:34:11.900
they want to use it and so they're not willing to see that that's why the bureaucracy only grows you
00:34:18.200
notice how it never shrinks and that's what we really need to work on yeah and you know what he does so
00:34:24.580
much stuff donald trump i don't think he gets enough credit i'm not i'm not a truck trump sycophant it's
00:34:28.660
just what it is the the facts support it right so it's not just me coming out here being hyperbolic
00:34:34.520
about something the facts support everything i you know my support for donald trump uh last week
00:34:40.080
some of his accomplishments that i i went through with doing my show notes say a 12-day ceasefire before
00:34:46.280
between iran and uh and uh israel will it last i don't know but we have a ceasefire right now which
00:34:52.600
means nobody's dying no rockets are hitting israel that's a win in my book nato defense spending
00:34:58.400
agreement was was agreed upon uh when president trump went over to uh amsterdam and got them to
00:35:03.880
agree to five percent of gdp uh rwanda and congo peace deal which president trump was able to do was
00:35:09.260
something i haven't been able to do for a very long time the supreme court now this isn't on donald
00:35:13.220
trump but this is supporting donald trump ending the nationwide injunctions uh from these marxist
00:35:17.900
rogue judges oh did i forget to mention the record closes on the stock market which
00:35:22.820
continued today on the nasdaq and s&p 500 it's this is all stuff that he's done if you think about
00:35:29.260
everything he's done so far nick i can't think of one thing that that he's done was which was of the
00:35:35.180
help of congress which congress enabled him to do everything deportations congress had nothing to do
00:35:40.840
can you think of anything congress has done to advance his agenda in his first it's not even six
00:35:46.520
months five months and like 10 days or whatever it's been well i think no congress hasn't done
00:35:52.900
anything and and unfortunately that that's part of the problem is that congress is the lawmaking body
00:35:58.460
president trump should not be issuing executive orders the reality is congress should take up these
00:36:03.540
matters and codify them especially if you know you have a democrat down the road that gets into the
00:36:09.340
white house it will be much harder for the democrat to do push their agenda especially if it's as far
00:36:14.040
left as what we're seeing here in new york city but i think the nato thing you brought up is really
00:36:18.880
important because we could go all the way back to the 1980s with president ronald reagan and that's
00:36:25.020
where everything was about diplomacy and behind the scenes the the american administrations from reagan
00:36:31.260
up until president obama would push the european countries to put more into nato to live up to their
00:36:38.160
obligations and they never did they basically said go f yourself america and then trump comes into
00:36:44.480
office and what does trump do he calls them out publicly like one of the greatest episodes from the
00:36:51.060
first trump administration was when he took germany to task on live television saying they're not paying
00:36:56.800
enough of their gdp into defense spending as required by nato and also that they should be getting
00:37:02.860
their natural gas from the united states as opposed to russia especially considering that russia you know
00:37:08.340
they kept on saying how dangerous russia is what a threat they are to europe and them out of the g7
00:37:13.960
absolutely and he calls them out and people don't like it and yes sometimes you have to call your allies
00:37:21.560
out listen our allies are not going to do what's in america's best interest they're going to do what's in
00:37:27.640
their own self-interest that's the whole nation-state concept that's how it operates right it's like
00:37:32.800
human beings we do what's in our self-interest well nation-states are the same way so germany is not
00:37:38.460
going to do what's in our interest america is the only country in the world that doesn't exert the
00:37:43.600
power and influence it has to its own detriment we we will actually push policies that are against our
00:37:49.760
interests and donald trump is changing that whether you like him or not the guy does get things done
00:37:55.800
you look at the abraham accords that was monumental if any other president did that they would have a
00:38:01.260
nobel peace prize you look at the iran nuclear threat every single president prior to that said
00:38:07.140
we can't allow iran to have nuclear weapons we have to stop their nuclear program trump took action
00:38:12.220
um you know so we can go real quickly you mentioned the abraham accords which is i say it all the time
00:38:18.180
i believe the abraham accords is the only reason that israel is still standing as a state today
00:38:21.840
without them i think you have a far different looking israel with everything that's gone on between
00:38:26.560
gaza and hamas and iran uh with those countries that are surrounding israel and i'll i'll argue
00:38:31.540
anybody who disagrees with me on that because well it's simple i mean you look at those nations
00:38:35.700
saudi arabia qatar bahrain you go back prior to the abraham accords if israel engaged with hamas there
00:38:43.320
would be riots throughout the middle east the middle east would be on fire you would have all our
00:38:48.160
embassies stones being thrown at them we haven't seen a single protest in a lot of these arab countries in
00:38:53.920
fact many of the arab countries have actually come out to criticize the palestinian authority
00:38:58.840
and hamas they've come out to criticize palestine this is historic and there is report there are
00:39:05.600
reports that we're going to see several other nations within the next couple of months sign on
00:39:10.900
to these abraham accords this is transforming the middle east let's take a look president trump was asked
00:39:16.500
about that uh with maria barna roma yesterday let's take a look has any other country suggested to you
00:39:21.140
recently as a result of this that they want to join the abraham accords yes so we have some really
00:39:29.620
great countries in there right now and i think we're going to start loading them up because uh
00:39:33.900
iran was the primary problem i actually thought iran would i i actually thought we had a period of
00:39:39.620
time where i thought iran would join the abraham accords along with everybody else and frankly they
00:39:44.180
would have been better off than where they are right now and what about the abraham accords would syria
00:39:49.280
enter well i don't know but you know i did take off the sanctions at the request of some of the
00:39:54.860
other countries in the area that are friends of ours i took off the sanctions on syria to give them a
00:39:59.420
chance that you know the sanctions are biting they're very strong and we have sanctions on iran too and
00:40:05.980
you know you take them off when i i sort of gave the expression today you get more sometimes with
00:40:11.820
nutty than you do with vinegar what an analogy um so that's something else now that we're going to
00:40:19.440
look forward to that we could possibly have peace in the middle east for the first time i think
00:40:22.780
perhaps ever well under the first trump administration the middle east was more stable in that four-year
00:40:28.320
period than it was throughout my entire lifetime and when we look under president biden he pushed a
00:40:33.460
lot of middle eastern countries towards china's fear of influence and russia's fear of influence
00:40:38.100
when president trump came about back into office and did his middle eastern tour he said something
00:40:42.720
critical listen we're not here to try and change your governments or your culture those are your
00:40:48.180
internal things and we're not going to push you know the transgender ideology in your communities in
00:40:54.200
your backyards that you reject and don't want i think that was a welcome message to the arab community
00:41:00.360
i think the arab community said you know what they're not going to preach to us they just want to do
00:41:04.720
business with us and understand the global order the global world map is one big chessboard and you
00:41:11.600
see that president trump is strategically laying the pieces out to ensure u.s dominance and success
00:41:18.320
in the international arena for the next decade or so yeah going back to what you said about i guess uh
00:41:25.040
changing things inside the country it was just before donald trump even ran for office he was asked i
00:41:29.620
believe it was about iran about women being forced to wear hijabs and he's like
00:41:33.020
i don't give a damn it has nothing to do with me it has nothing to do with america it's not our
00:41:37.900
business if they want to force their people to wear hijabs or this or that that's on them and by the
00:41:43.140
way you know some of the women may want to wear them on their own anyway and it's up to the iranian
00:41:47.700
people to decide if they don't like their government well overthrow it you know it's in the declaration of
00:41:53.820
independence i mean they could just adopt adapt it over there you can change your government you
00:41:59.360
ultimately have the responsibility and obligation when a government abuses their power and enters
00:42:04.240
absolute despotism to overthrow it and so it's up to the iranian people to decide their future
00:42:10.100
yep not america regardless of what uh lindsey lady lindsey graham wants to tell you or tom cotton we
00:42:17.540
should have nothing to do with it on the topic of this we've spoken we're both new yorkers and uh
00:42:22.700
it's kind of scary to think that uh don't mess with the zohan momandani might be the next mayor of new
00:42:28.740
york donald trump is not ready to play ball with him take a listen what did you make of the new york
00:42:33.840
democrat primary um i'm donnie he's a communist i think it's very bad for new york i don't know that
00:42:41.540
he's going to get in it's inconceivable that he's but he's a communist and he's a pure communist he i
00:42:46.180
think he admits it but uh i can't imagine it but let's say this if he does get in i'm going to be
00:42:53.700
president and he's going to have to do the right thing or they're not getting any money
00:42:56.960
he's got to do the right thing uh it's shocking that i would have assumed that i never i used to
00:43:04.300
say we will never have a socialist in this country no but we'll have a communist i mean he's a
00:43:08.260
communist and going to be mayor of new york uh so i was very surprised when i said i never heard of
00:43:14.300
him i don't know who he is well he said he's going to fight ice he's not going to allow ice to
00:43:19.800
be very unsuccessful and he said if benjamin netanyahu comes to new york he's going to have
00:43:24.500
him arrested oh he's a radical left lunatic so donald trump doesn't care about playing ball
00:43:30.260
with him what do you think well first of all mayor has no authority to arrest any foreign leader on u.s
00:43:35.660
soil that's not up to him and he should be called out for that uh he he would be mayor khan 2.0 london
00:43:41.340
2.0 here in the united states i mean listen i think that the mandami's messaging is toxic obviously
00:43:48.940
he he's a communist there's little doubt about that but we also have to get a grip because when
00:43:54.860
we look at the voter turnout i i think it's something and my numbers might be slightly off
00:43:58.540
only 10 percent of registered voters actually voted in this primary and when we look at the new york city
00:44:04.200
mayoral race it's it is complicated we don't have a clear picture of how votes will split yeah but
00:44:09.940
let's look at mamdani's base of support it's rich white liberals it's the privileged class and a it's
00:44:16.040
black hispanics are not supporting him whites and asians are the highest support for mom and donnie
00:44:22.500
well and the privileged class is the one that's supporting him so i don't think that he's as strong
00:44:30.200
as people make him out to be however that doesn't mean new york city can't go communist it certainly
00:44:35.180
can because a lot of people don't turn out to vote but if he does win he will become the new face of
00:44:41.620
the democrat party and that's what what is scaring the daylights out of a lot of democrat strategists
00:44:47.820
out there they are worried about this far left takeover of the entire party and the only person
00:44:54.600
is like senator john fetterman that becomes the voice of reason and they're trying to exile him from
00:44:59.640
that political party yeah it's it's really a scary thought to think that this is and i said it the day
00:45:04.920
he won that anybody could if it happened in new york it could happen anywhere because new york's kind of
00:45:09.000
like but it's stupid ideas i mean really government run grocery stores to all the viewers out there
00:45:15.440
have you ever had to deal with the government and said wow that was a pleasant experience i'd love
00:45:20.220
that they've government run stores in north korea yeah they had them in soviet union too it didn't
00:45:26.280
work out so it was good for bread lines so yeah you had a lot of people waiting they were wheelbarrows
00:45:30.580
of russian rubles in order to get bread it's so absurd to think that you know i'm not one of these
00:45:36.480
people i didn't like eric adams in the beginning i i'm still 50 50 on him wishy-washy he's a democrat
00:45:42.620
at the end of the day but i can't stand curtis lee when i can't pretend that i actually like the guy
00:45:47.420
the guy's come out on the record how many times and said i hate donald trump i think he's a used
00:45:52.600
car salesman he's a not that the you know it actually gives the used car salesman a bad name
00:45:56.300
he's more of a snake oil salesman uh can't stand donald trump hates everything about him i i don't
00:46:02.260
think we should be supporting curtis leeway he can't win well i think it all depends i i think
00:46:08.500
we have to wait till august to see what some of the polling is looking like and whether or not we need
00:46:13.300
the adams sliwa vote is the one that's actually splitting not mandami cuomo adams vote so i think
00:46:21.060
it all depends i mean it does create a unique opening where you can necessarily get a third party
00:46:27.180
a republican possibly to actually win because you wouldn't need necessarily a majority if you split
00:46:32.120
the vote so many different ways but the key is getting people to turn out and that's been the
00:46:37.840
republicans biggest problem in new york city is not getting their base out to vote in the general
00:46:44.060
elections because they believe well it's a democrat run city it's not going to change no if everyone
00:46:50.040
turns out to vote whether republican independent disaffected democrat you will get a change it's not
00:46:56.200
that long ago that we actually had a republican mayor in new york city we also had a republican
00:47:01.120
governor in new york state and we had a republican senate in new york state that was only 20 somewhat
00:47:07.980
years ago it can return especially given that the cesspool that new york state has become and
00:47:14.160
especially new york city the way i see it right now the way it looks it looks like uh mom and donnie i
00:47:19.940
think that's how you say he's no mom donnie and um and cuomo look like they'll split their vote and it
00:47:25.660
looks like adams and uh and sliwas with their vote so it sort of creates this really interesting thing
00:47:31.040
where someone can squeak this thing out with a few thousand votes correct and i wouldn't necessarily
00:47:36.540
rule out that there may be a sit down behind the scenes and i don't have any inside knowledge of
00:47:40.920
this or anything but by the end of august the sit down between maybe mayor adams sliwa and even the
00:47:47.220
disgraced emperor cuomo uh coming to an agreement that mom donnie is too dangerous for new york city and so
00:47:53.140
they got to coalesce behind one and then they'll draw straws certainly not going to be emperor cuomo
00:47:57.820
but adams and sliwa would draw straws to see which one's better positioned i'm all for cuomo staying
00:48:02.560
in i think him and uh mom and donnie should beat the living daylights out of each other i hate cuomo i
00:48:08.500
mean what he did to the nursing homes i absolutely hate him and for people saying he's the voice of
00:48:12.160
reason between the democrats he's a disgrace absolutely not the voice of reason he's a sexual predator he's
00:48:17.120
a sexual eraser uh and he's a murderer for what he did to people and he's got away with it he got away
00:48:21.720
with it now he thinks like you said emperor that he can sit up on his throne he's going to run for
00:48:26.160
office like he did nothing wrong because nobody held him accountable is absolutely disgusting
00:48:30.460
eric adams like i said to me he's just a democrat uh i don't he hasn't really hurt new yorkers he's
00:48:37.780
helped new yorkers more than he's hurt them with allowing ice to come in and get these illegals out
00:48:42.940
of here and i think he's done a better job since he decided to turn that corner i don't see him as the
00:48:47.680
radical that i believed he once was and um you know i always say the lesser of the two evils and
00:48:53.640
lou hated that saying but that's the way i see it well it'd be nice if the world operated strictly on
00:48:58.860
principle and you wouldn't have to go with the lesser of two evils and i think that that that
00:49:03.140
reflects this sad state of american politics that we we actually look at it from that perspective
00:49:08.660
that it is the lesser of two evils i do believe that both political parties have lost touch with the
00:49:14.380
people that they're supposed to serve and i think that a lot of the bureaucrats have forgotten
00:49:19.980
uh why they exist why government exists and so have the people where they continually make more
00:49:25.600
and more demands on government to get bigger and then we'll complain when it's too overbearing when
00:49:30.540
it's spending too much money uh but yet it's an impossibility to cut government programs it shows you
00:49:35.920
the hypocrisy within the system but yeah it's sad when you look at it from the lesser of two evils
00:49:41.600
perspective we've got a comment i want to get to some of these before we wrap up here just because
00:49:46.160
i promise you're good uh rachel collins the people got tired of dem policies dictating everybody and
00:49:51.120
the republicans doing nothing about it this is why we elected president trump he was not a politician
00:49:55.860
he is common sense i think that's absolutely right the people still see donald trump i don't see donald
00:50:01.020
trump as a politician i still see donald trump uh as the apprentice yeah that's how he operates i mean
00:50:07.220
listen trump trump is trump okay he is the one person that remains constant where where he just
00:50:16.520
doesn't change and he will adjust positions when he gets new information and it shows you i mean just
00:50:23.140
look at how he deliberated whether or not he should strike iran's nuclear facilities it shows you that he
00:50:29.200
is methodical in his approach that he doesn't just shoot from the hip but as far as democrats they try and
00:50:35.400
dictate every aspect of our life where trump has a refreshing message i just want everyone to be
00:50:40.880
successful i want america to be great again i want america and american people to come first it's
00:50:46.680
actually refreshing that we have a politician that doesn't poll test every single line and every
00:50:51.760
single speech they're going to give what comes up here he's going to say whether you like it or not
00:50:57.380
and that to me uh shows that he's not your normal politician if a politician at all that's who
00:51:03.540
donald trump is let's take a few more of these before we wrap i didn't know sliwa hated trump
00:51:07.760
yet there's there's a video out there of him actually saying it i hate donald trump i hate
00:51:12.320
donald trump and i think it was back in like 2019 before he decided to run again in 2020 it's a video
00:51:17.320
out there i'm not lying i promise you uh let's be honest there are a lot of republicans that were
00:51:22.180
talking like that may a lot of them did change here too yeah but he said it that was back in 2016
00:51:28.120
that this was knocking before him running 2020 uh straight forward on rumble any chance trump ends
00:51:33.140
up endorsing uh adams as an independent i don't know that's a good question what do you think
00:51:37.700
i see that as a possibility i actually think that trump likes personally likes uh mayor eric adams
00:51:45.040
and so it wouldn't surprise he's either going to stay out of it but if he feels that the only way to
00:51:50.860
defeat mom donny is by endorsing adams i think he would actually do it yeah i i i second what you said
00:51:57.860
i think he does too and i don't know if you ever met adams i've met him a bunch of times he's
00:52:01.000
actually a very nice cunning guy he is a democrat at the end of the day right so i keep my pocket
00:52:05.160
zipped to make sure i'm not getting pickpocketed but i think he is a very nice guy he's a cunning
00:52:09.700
guy and uh you know as soon as they uh he started supporting some of what donald trump did they came
00:52:15.220
after him and we we see that uh the people who get indicted are usually the ones who maybe want to
00:52:22.380
start doing right bob menendez started turning the corner now bob menendez has always been a crook i'm not
00:52:26.980
defending him don't get mad at me by any stretch of the imagination he's bold bar do you have
00:52:31.320
egyptian gold bars in your seat pockets not that i know of i wish i did me too but you know he started
00:52:38.400
turning the corner on certain issues now like i said he's always been a criminal but in recent times
00:52:43.740
he was he was turning the corner on certain things agreeing with president trump and bang the first one
00:52:48.420
was a mistrial they got him and he got away with it and then this last time they got around now the next
00:52:53.360
man i believe who will be a part of the prey is going to be poor john fetterman and i never did i
00:52:58.100
think the two words poor and john fetterman would be coming out of my mouth well no i mean listen when
00:53:03.300
he was first elected in 2022 i mean i was someone that criticized the fact that they ran him at what
00:53:09.260
a severe stroke he shouldn't have been in office but it turns out that as his health has gotten
00:53:14.320
better well he's actually become the same voice of reason nick i'd argue that he was more cognitive
00:53:20.100
stroked out than some of these democrats and rhinos are not stroked out well the amazing part is all
00:53:25.740
the leaks behind the scenes from democrats saying well well john fetterman's health is so far gone
00:53:31.240
no the guy couldn't even really speak or read or anything when he first had the stroke it truly is
00:53:36.260
amazing but it shows you how vicious the democrats are it shows you the vipers that they are that the
00:53:41.600
second you deviate from whatever the narrative is supposed to be that they will criticize and they will
00:53:47.280
take out their own look at what they did to joe biden right i mean you know they they covered up
00:53:52.020
the cognitive decline even though it was apparent to anyone that was paying attention uh but but the
00:53:56.780
second he had that debate performance in june just you know one year ago almost then it was the pelosis
00:54:03.660
the obamas did the the the schumers that stabbed him in his back and forced him off the ticket through
00:54:10.440
threats they could say all he wants oh look he stepped down what a great man no they forced him over
00:54:15.380
the ticket when you no longer serve as the useful to the democrat party they are willing to throw you
00:54:22.520
overboard meanwhile you look at republicans and the beauty of republican i've criticized trump and there's
00:54:28.940
been no blowback against me i say what's on my mind i don't care who it upsets i don't care who it
00:54:34.400
offends some people agree with me some don't but i'm free to speak my mind the way i want without fear
00:54:40.720
of reprisal whereas you look at democrats if you say the wrong thing they will target you
00:54:45.780
yep and donald trump he's not a man who's got thin skin right he doesn't like people who talk about him
00:54:52.400
but he doesn't know he's he look you had mentioned it before in 2016 each and every single one of those
00:54:58.180
people called him a con artist they called him this they called him that and they're now his best
00:55:02.320
friends marco rubio and him we're talking about small hands small this small that high heels he's now
00:55:07.420
his secretary of state ted cruz is lining himself one day to possibly be a presidential contender
00:55:12.640
ran paul you know they still have their ups and downs chris christie could never get over the fact
00:55:17.340
and ate himself into an oblivion and depression but mike huckabee is now his ambassador to israel so
00:55:23.380
he's not thin-skinned if you're talking about issues it's when you get personal with him i think
00:55:28.380
where he gets a little bit more thin-skinned as probably anybody does right there's times where he
00:55:33.820
punches down where it's like just ignore it you know some of them deserve it i can't agree with
00:55:39.240
you well it all depends on who sometimes though everyone better to ignore it and just move on you
00:55:45.020
know when elon moss first criticized the big beautiful bill if i was trump i would have said
00:55:49.000
i'm not taking you a bait i know you want us to fight but he's allowed to have his own opinion if
00:55:54.340
trump would have said that the media would have been silent they wouldn't know what to do with it but
00:55:58.140
the media loves to create the gossip and so they try and bait him i think that the second trump
00:56:02.940
in this term is actually much more disciplined than the first trump administration much more
00:56:08.240
discipline and i think it comes with age right you get older you start to slow down i feel slower from
00:56:13.000
five years ago i can't imagine a man from 75 to 80 what they feel like when i went from 25 and also
00:56:19.200
couple assassination attempts on you yeah that'll probably scare the heck out of you a little bit but
00:56:23.440
he you're absolutely right he's got his head down now and i think he's more determined than ever and
00:56:27.580
you know he hasn't really 2016 trump i enjoyed it was fun watching him just fight everybody tooth
00:56:34.580
and nail and didn't care about it if and now he's a little bit more reserved about it and you know he
00:56:39.100
picks his fights a little bit more wisely because it takes up a lot of energy but at the same time i
00:56:43.760
think he's getting far more done now uh than he's gotten done in 2016 because of he understands who was
00:56:51.580
there to stop him the first time around he understand who was there to cock block him the first time
00:56:55.580
around now he's got stephen miller and i was talking with um uh what's his name uh professor
00:57:01.420
jacobson who's a cornell university law professor brilliant man on friday the funniest part about
00:57:07.200
this trump administration is all these court battles these fights it's stephen miller a man who's not
00:57:13.020
even a lawyer going up and winning these cases not literally representing them but he's the one who's
00:57:18.820
structured everything it's stephen miller man who's not even a lawyer who's winning all these cases
00:57:23.520
against these brilliant judges it's stephen miller who's getting upheld by the supreme court
00:57:28.420
he's not even a lawyer well i i think that trump has surrounded himself with a different cast of
00:57:34.140
people this time that are actually looking out for the administration's interests but i also think
00:57:39.140
that to trump it's about legacy he knows he can't run despite you know him him trolling the left and
00:57:44.640
saying he's going to run for a third term he knows he can't run anymore and we all know trump and his
00:57:49.880
new york personality you know we've lived here our whole lives where he wants to be seen as successful
00:57:55.840
he wants to be seen as someone that did things that no other president have have done before like
00:58:01.880
peace in the middle east and i think that's what he's focused on i think that's why it's so much
00:58:07.480
more disciplined now than it was in his first term yeah you're absolutely right before we wrap up
00:58:12.800
since we're on the topic of judges uh judges agreed to delay the release of ms 13 gang member
00:58:18.180
kilmar abrigo garcia i don't know if you've been following but last week donald trump's uh one of
00:58:24.460
his attorneys said not donald trump's attorney but one of the attorneys for the case that as soon as
00:58:29.840
he's released he's being deported again and this came just as the supreme court said president trump
00:58:35.220
can do the third country uh deportion deportions deportations so i don't think kilmar abrigo garcia
00:58:43.180
is going back to uh beautiful el salvador seacott i think kilmar abrigo garcia is going to like
00:58:48.780
south sudan well uh listen and this is where i will criticize the trump administration particularly
00:58:54.880
attorney general pan bondi why did you bring him back in the first place so they can charge him
00:58:59.900
i understand that but it was it's not worth the headache for the for these judges you had
00:59:05.160
all the democrat senators lining up behind kilmar abrigo but now you got this judge coming out to
00:59:11.860
defend them that people will forget about the democrats and their support of him i mean republicans
00:59:16.780
will try and remind them but there was no point in even bringing him back he was in the south now
00:59:21.940
they're they're they're they're they're defending a man who's been convicted of human trafficking so now
00:59:26.740
they're not just defending this man who was wrongfully deported they're defending a man and you see
00:59:32.680
they pulled back on it because they can't defend a man who's now been charged with human trafficking but
00:59:37.200
you know it doesn't matter at the end of the day he's uh he's going to somewhere far worse
00:59:41.280
than seacott well now he has to go to an american prison i mean let's face it if he's convicted of
00:59:46.860
human trafficking these serious crimes you have to put him in prison then you can deport him to
00:59:51.120
whatever country you deport him to uh these are the blights on society that that should be removed
00:59:57.400
that everyone should support removing how democrats ever fell for the trap of defending people
01:00:02.660
like kilmar albrego uh you know every democrat political strategist was probably screaming
01:00:09.340
behind the scenes about that because that is just simple politics 101 common sense if you're
01:00:16.460
going to go to bath for someone you know their background then you know that they're not human
01:00:20.320
traffickers and wife beaters that's usually you know a bridge too far they got hit with the old
01:00:25.820
banana in the tailpipe from beverly hills cop for anyone who's seen that the old mercy banana in the
01:00:30.660
tailpipe is what i call it nick it's always a delight to talk to you host of the pas report
01:00:35.420
you get the last word but i also want you to give the audience where they can uh find you follow you
01:00:40.680
and listen to the podcast i think that for the next couple of years we're in for a wild ride i think
01:00:46.120
that you know as far as the big beautiful bill goes it's going to be really important to see how it
01:00:51.320
turns out and the debates that unfold and then what happens if the senate does pass it between the house
01:00:56.840
and the senate trying to reconcile the bill so that's going to be an interesting thing but the
01:01:01.300
most important message is for everyone this is the fourth of july week everyone should go out read the
01:01:06.680
declaration of independence understand the concepts of limited government understand that government
01:01:13.320
doesn't grant us our rights our rights are inherent these are god-given rights and we have to begin
01:01:18.320
taking the power back from the bureaucracy with that being said everyone could go to the pas report
