Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is the primal screen of a dying regime.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on
these people.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You've not got a free shot.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
And all these networks lying about the people, the people
have had.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
A belly full of it.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
I know you don't like hearing that. I know you
try to do everything in the world to stop that,
but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

Speaker 5 (00:23):
And where do people like that go to share the
big line?

Speaker 6 (00:26):
Mega media?

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of
these people had a conscience.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
If that answer is to save my country, this country
will be saved.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Worm.

Speaker 6 (00:44):
Use your host, Stephen k Man.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's Monday, seven April, the Year of Our Lord, twenty
twenty five. No, Jim Kramer, at least so far is
not Black Monday, and President Trump is dug in and
over the White House. It is fixed banets. They're not
backing off one inch. Nasta's up two fifty one hundred
pretty shocking golds of three thousand, ten year treasures at
about round four. Commodity prices are dropping. President Trump's dug

(01:15):
in the Asian markets overnight got absolutely crushed to Hanksang,
which is the premier, one of the premier equity markets
in all of Asia at a Hong Kong down thirteen percent.
The Chinese Commanist Party are taking it right on the chops.
They will not survive at fifty four percent. Terrorists full stop.
The tech bros too getting absolutely crushed. Is Donald Trump

(01:39):
just wields a hammer, a hammer blow to the exact
people that shipped all the jobs from the United States
of America to China. To be brutally blown about this,
and Richard has said early the economic warfare, You're absolutely
correct and in the fog of war, you got to
come to the war room because we will help guide
you through here.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Raheem.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Tom finn is about to join me, Chris Koebeck after that,
and maybe even Brian glenn is at the White House.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are there today with the President.
I'm sure the President is going to have something to
say with the track cover it all. Rahem issim, you're
about to head to Andrews Air Force Base GEO strategically,
the Vice President the United States last week went to Greenland.
Pete Hexath went on the three Island Chain tour over

(02:22):
the vast Pacific, the new heartland of defense of the
United States of America. He went to Hawaii, then to Guam,
then to the Philippines in Japan, and today he goes
down to Panama.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
What do you hope comes out of this, sir.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Well, what I hope It's funny.

Speaker 7 (02:38):
What I hope comes out of this is what I
hope comes out of the you know, the argument that
is going on in market floors over the course of
the day. Although I don't put much faith in those
people who seem you know, I think President Trump called
them Pannicans this morning. The idea that the so called wealthiest,
strongest militarily nation in the world cannot endure something like

(03:02):
this where we actually have, oh, I don't know, maybe
a little redistribution in the in the towards the ordinary
American and the idea that America cannot go overseas like
Pete Hegseith is doing today and actually say hey, we
built this damn thing, you know, and literally and we
have we have, you know, given our blunt and our
treasure for this, and you want to hand it over

(03:23):
to the Chinese Communist part and the same thing with
the Chagos Islands. I actually just published up on the
National polse dot com Steve and Explainer over the Chego
silence Diego Garcia.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Why it matters because this is going to become.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
A thing again in the next couple of weeks as
the administration gets posed as the British government tries to
give this away effectively again to the Chinese communists.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Viy.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
But hey, look, if you.

Speaker 7 (03:45):
Have the strength, if you have the temerity, if you
have the audacity, if you reach just a little bit higher,
look what happens. The European Union turns around today goes actually,
we kind of do want to negotiate with you. We
will come to that table. Hey, you know, get my
message to the markets and to the Republicans, especially on
Capitol Hill, is get your heads in the game and
stop being those weaklings that you've built. You've been for.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
So very long.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
That era of America is over.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I want to transition to Finton because Tom Finton's here
to talk about personnel. There's not a bigger defender of
President Trump or bigger defender of this administration that Tom Fitton.
Tom Fitton, I've known this guy now for fifteen years,
one of the great patriots in our country. He's got
some issues about personnel. You've got some issues about personnel.
Laura Lumer goes in last week and you know, six
guys in the National Security Council get blown out. There

(04:35):
are some issues not just getting your sea legs, but
who did the filtering process and really what's going on here?
One more, Timrahiim on the national security side, you said, hey,
they're just starting to learn how to work together as
a team. What is your recommendation to President Trump about
personnel on the national security side as far as you
see it, Because you're right, we haven't taken a big

(04:57):
role in the Diegar SIA thing, and we have there's
been kind of crickets about Brazil. Really not that aggressive
so far until Pico's down about what's happened in the Caribbean,
a CCP takeover. President Trump came out the first time
President Trump came out and had La pens back. But
you've seen no comment at all. On Korea. The coupda

(05:17):
Ta by the Chinese camptis probably taking conservative out. What
is your recommendation on the national security side, Raheem for
President Trump?

Speaker 1 (05:24):
On personnel. I got two.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
Number one.

Speaker 7 (05:27):
You know, directly, President Trump, the people who have your
back on domestic policy, on tariff policy, they are also
the people who have your back on foreign policy. You
do not need to go to the ais of the world.
You do not need to go to the neo con
institutions of the world.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
You do not need to listen to the Lindsay Grahams of.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
The world to get you over the line on foreign policy.
We have it within the hardcore og MAGA populist nationalist
wheelhouse that that can work too. And if you need
recommendations of people themselves, I got a list as long
as my arm.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
And then the second one is listen.

Speaker 7 (06:04):
This is what happens when you try and look. I
know it made me extremely unpopular on Capitol Hill, so
good thing I'm getting out of town today.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
This is what happens when.

Speaker 7 (06:13):
You throw away Project twenty twenty five. You know, that
was a database and a list and a document that
actually had the best interest of Margaret at its core.
You didn't have to agree with everything. At the end
of the day, what was Project twenty twenty five. It
wasn't the things that the media told you. It was
It was a database of personnel who had been vetted,
who we knew were Margaret to their core, who actually

(06:34):
could get in there. Day one hit the ground running
and put together the policies of the Trump two administration.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
So I would dig up.

Speaker 7 (06:41):
The old Project twenty twenty five data. Call Paul Dans,
get him back in there, frankly, and get rolling.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Get the vetted people were him.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
We're gonna let you go to Andrews will be covering
you non stop while you're with Pete Hegstt, the Great
Secretary of Defense.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
A social media national pulse to folks go.

Speaker 7 (07:01):
Yeah, look, you can join up at the National Pulse
dot com forward slash warrem but if people don't actually
want to join, we also have a big donate button
at the top of the site now as well the
National Pulse dot com. Everything we do is one hundred
percent read a funded and you can follow us at
the Pulse on all social media.

Speaker 8 (07:18):
And I am at Raheem Cassam. Thank you, Steve, thank
you brother. A good trip and we'll stay in touch closely.
Tom Fitton is on now. I will tell you my
dad had passed away over one hundred years old. We
revered him in the family. A great guy, just the
common man. He would tell me every time I went
back to Richmond, and I've tried to go back every week,

(07:39):
every couple of weeks. The thing he loved giving money
to most was Tom Finton. He would hit Tom Fitton
with the fifties every now and again, a twenty five
and he'd say, he get that monthly magazine. He goes,
he'd watch Tom on TV. He goes, this guy does
exactly what he says.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
He's going to do. This guy's a fighter.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Tom Finton, you have been the biggest supporter of President Trump.
You've been a huge support of Cash Mattel. Your a
close friend and huge support of Dan Bongino, Pam Bondi, everybody.
So when people see you up on Twitter and you're
questioning some of the personnel decisions here, I tell people
people got to listen because Finton doesn't chase rabbits. When

(08:17):
Tom Finton's saying something, it's important and it has meaning
and something's going.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
To happen about it.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
There's another personnel issue like we've had in the National
Security Council and other places on the national security side.
With President Trump, what is going on? What are your
tweets about? And quite frankly, what's your beef, sir?

Speaker 4 (08:38):
Which ruckbeach? Steve?

Speaker 6 (08:39):
Is how mild?

Speaker 9 (08:40):
My issue was I read this New York Times piece
and I know why Cash and Dan didn't like it,
because it suggested that they were being swampy with the FBI.
And there was a detail in there which was surprising
to me was that they had elevated to a significant
position the head of the Washington Field office of the FBI,
as Steve jens and who many believe to be, you know,

(09:03):
one of the worst in terms of pursuing the January
six ers, being involved in the targeting of parents over
daring to try to figure out what their kids are
being taught. And turns out he gets elevated in New
York Times, Caliphilly noted this and I said, what And

(09:25):
then we start getting.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
The pushback, it's fake news, it's fake news.

Speaker 9 (09:28):
What wasn't fake news, which was the implication was that
the hire had taken place.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
That was true.

Speaker 9 (09:34):
And I guess the concern is from the FBI folks,
is that he's really a good guy. Not to worry
about it. And it's frustrating because I don't know about you,
but I'm still waiting for prosecutions.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Now.

Speaker 9 (09:47):
I know there's not going to be an immediate prosecution,
but I want evidence that there's a serious criminal investigation
going on into these very people. And I guess my
big point would be, it's not so much the personnel,
it's what personnel makes policy. But I don't understand why
Marco Rubio has been more aggressive with the usai D

(10:07):
than Cash and Pam have been with the FBI. I
think they should be treated similarly, whether or not the
you know, it's not a question of who runs the
Washington Field Office's question is whether we have a Washington
Field office.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Let's go back to Jensen just for a moment.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I just want to make because this thing caused controversy,
and I think Tom that you under you're too self effacing.
And I would tell you, folks, Tom Finton does not
promote yourself. He's not a self promoter. He's a man
of few words, but he gets stuff done. And that's
why he's been considered a basic a lynchpin of this
movement for a couple of decades. What is it about

(10:48):
Jensen Because a lot of the audience may not know this.
What is about Jensen that you specifically have a concern
about of him even being in the orbit of getting
a job, particularly as big people should unders. The Washington
Field office of the FBI is I think even more
powerful than the New York FBI.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
And those are the two, the two major field officers.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
What is it about Jensen that concerns you that he's
even on the list of possibilities of having this immensely
powerful role.

Speaker 9 (11:17):
He was a key figure in this domestic terror push
against January six ers. According to testimony before the House.
He treated them all as terrorists and was one of
the key instigators in pushing the narrative within the bureaucracy
that these folks needed to be jailed and ferret it out.

(11:37):
And he also was instrumental in implicate and implementing, to
a degree it was implemented, the targeting of parents for
going to their school boards. And remember Attorney General Garland
suggests that they should be treated as terrorists and domestic
threats as well. And so it's this approach that presumably

(12:00):
was rejected last year, and yet he gets elevated to
this key position. And again, you know, for all. I know,
maybe he's a good guy and we're all misinterpreting it.
But what I am not seeing out of the FBI yet,
and what I'm not seeing in the Justice Department yet,
is a radical remaking or even talking about it that

(12:22):
we've seen with USAID, that we've seen with the Department
of Education. And there's nothing the FBI is doing that
another federal agency or local or state of law enforcement
can't do. There's really nothing. And these folks, we are
behind an effort to destroy our constitutional system the last
four to ten years. And the idea that we're just

(12:43):
moving seats around and moving people in and out and
that will solve it, to me is naive and I
just want more done in a more timely way. I mean,
for instance, FOYA, there's been no change in FOYA from
any federal agency. Justice Department is still stonewalling us on information.
A court asked, hey, what's your position on releasing this

(13:05):
tape of Joe Biden being interviewed by her? And the
Justice Department said, give us three months, we'll figure it out.
Not acceptable. This isn't what we paid for.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
You do you think, because these folks are I tell you,
what can you hang on on a hold you through
break because you're both fraid we couldn't have picked a
better dream team than Pam Cash, Betel, Dan Bongino. These
are all people that are friends of yours, colleagues of yours.

(13:39):
You've known him for years, You've worked with him for years,
and the question is do we need a massive restructuring
of what's happening over there or just trying to work
on the margins and what's the direction of this. We
know what President Trump wants, that's quite evident. Okay, we
take a short break. We've got Tom Finton is joining
us Birch Gold now more than ever.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
You'll love that newsletter if you love what we talk
about on the show. I love my kid's sister, my
kid's sister, Mary Beth. You know, David Pagman went after
but she just texts me. I know because I'm hearing
this from a love of you. She asked a question,
can the president dissolve Congress?

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Marybeth? It's not Parliament, you can't do it. But I
understand your feelings.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
You're going they're all compromising, all Hey, Trump, they're all corrupt,
and they're all on the take.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
I got it.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
We just got to clean out the rats nest. Let's
go back to Tom fit and so, Tom, what are
you proposing? What would you like to what would you
like to see? Because you're you kind of speak for
millions in the MAGA movement, and the reason I wanted
to have you on today. I've been bombarded by people
saying we're the rest, we're the investigations, we're the grand jurors.
They kind of look at Ed Martin over at the

(16:28):
US Attorney's office in DC and they say, Hey, that's
kind of that looks like our guy right now. But
what's happening overall? So what's your recommendations? What what would
you specifically like to see?

Speaker 9 (16:40):
Well, the president's got to be the president and I
would if I were President Trump, I'd be reminding everyone
around him that, hey, I'm the president. That's what bugged
me about that signal Chat escapade. It wasn't so much
that it took place, it was what the substance was,
which was they were second guests a decision, second guessing
a decision to president or already made. And Pam Bondi

(17:02):
isn't going to do it, Cash Betel isn't going to
remake the Justice Department or the FBI. They're going to
be running it. And it's not a criticism of them.
This is where the president should step in and say
this is what the FBI needs to look like, or
this is how it needs to be changed. It can't
be around anymore to do to others what they did
to me. And I tell you, if after four years

(17:24):
nothing's been done other than they've reoriented the FBI or
DJ to focus on arresting MS thirteen, then whoever comes
in next time, Republican or Democrat, Trump's going to be
investigated again. People around Trump are going to be subject
to criminal investigation again. And so what President Trump needs

(17:45):
to do is to hire a special counsel run it
out of the White House, Cash, the FBI. They can't
investigate themselves. DJ can investigate themselves. Let's stop pretending that
these agents sees are going to investigate their friends and colleagues.
It's not going to happen. And it's really not fair

(18:06):
even to expect the leadership to spend all their time
investigating their own people. It's it's it's not going to
happen organizationally. That's why you need outsiders and and cash.
Hotel should be told, you know, to follow Marco Rubios
LEI on USA, I d shut it down.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
The reason I love this, and as you know, I'm close.
I love Cash, love Dan, love Pam. But the reason
I love this structurally is that we.

Speaker 9 (18:33):
Talked about that, about that but happening as a government.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
The structure.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
This gets back to the unit unitary executive theory. I
love the fact you're saying, announce a special counsel. That
special Council reports directly to the President United States and
is run out of the West Wing.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Okay, this this puts to rest.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
The third part is he you know, he's chief executive officer,
were in court fighting? Can he can he cut personnel?
Can he cut Budge? Is can he impound money the
commander in chief. They're in court right now with Boseburg
trying to interfere with him.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Being commander in chief.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
This is the third leg of the stool, which is
being chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer. You take
care of all that by setting up a special counsel
having directly report to the Office of the President, and
set it up in the West wing. And what would
you what would be the mandate for that special counsel?
Tom Fitton start running a grand jury in Fort Pierce.

Speaker 9 (19:31):
Investigating the deprivation, you know, the deprivation of his civil rights,
the civil rights of other Americans, and the color of law,
the seeming conspiracy with the Justice Department and the state
actors in Fulton County, New York, et cetera to target Trump,
not because they violated law, to target party leaders in

(19:51):
the Republican Party activists, not because they violated the law,
but in retaliation for their First Amendment protected rights. That's
a crime potential, and people need to be at least
asked questions about what went on. I'm not even you know.
This is not a question of a prosecution yesterday. This
is a question are they even asking anyone questions President

(20:12):
Trump's a crime victim? Are they investigating or crimes against him?
I'm not seeing any indication that there is. And you know,
Dan's been putting out some tweets talking about how there
are things that are happening behind the scenes he can't
talk about. Just because it's not readily apparent, doesn't mean
it's not happening. Well, that may be true on certain
law enforcement areas, certainly on national security, but it's not

(20:32):
true on these types of crimes. You know, if there
was a serious criminal investigation into what happened against Trump,
we know all about it, and the fact that we're
not hearing anything about it as a good an indication
as DC gets nothing's happening.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Tom Finn, where do people go to follow this? Because
I anticipate this is going to get a little momentum
after this morning's.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Chat with you? Where do people go to follow up?

Speaker 9 (21:01):
They can go to judicialwatch dot orgon of course we're
all over rumble, YouTube, Twitter.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
You know what where's all in?

Speaker 9 (21:10):
And as I see it, you know, go ahead, Danny
Cash and Pam they know me well enough to know
it's like, don't don't piss down my leg and tell
me it's raining. You know, and I've seen this party before.
I've been I've been doing this work for twenty seven years.

(21:31):
Don't tell me to wait.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Tom Finton, It's yeah, Tom. Tom Fitton is the People's
during the during the during the nuclear winter of the
older years, we refer to Tom Finnon as the people's
Justice Department. If we didn't have Judicial Watching, Tom Finton,
we wouldn't even have been around. How you held the
line during those those dark years, So people know this.

Speaker 9 (21:54):
During forty five, if we're if we weren't out there
yelling about what they were doing, I have no doubt
Trump would have been removed from office in forty five.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
And I think it would have been put a little
flesh the bontel.

Speaker 9 (22:06):
The last four years if we weren't out there pushing back.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Give me that again, give me that. That's very important.
I agree with the hundred percent why I think Trump
would have been.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
His first term.

Speaker 9 (22:18):
In his first term, he would have been impeached and
removed and prosecuted but for Judicial Watch blowing the whistle
from the get go. Similarly, during the last four years,
if we didn't start pushing back immediately on the Justice
Department's law fair because remember everyone was in a panic
about January sixth, and we saw it for what it was.

(22:40):
I'm convinced Trump would have been in jail and worse
but for the work of Judicial Watch in large measure.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Tom one more time, give me your give me your your.
Where do people go to get you?

Speaker 9 (22:56):
Go to judicialwatch dot org, Go to Twitter at Tom Fitton.
Of course a judicial Watch.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
We're all over.

Speaker 9 (23:03):
You can't avoid us if you're.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Online, Tom fantastic. I'll be in touch after the show.
Love you, brother, Thanks Steed. Tom fit an absolute hammer.
Right now, there's a president Trump's President Trump's got a
true social.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Can we get up?

Speaker 2 (23:24):
We're also going to cut directly to the White House
and we will blow the brake as soon as the
president comes out. Our own Brian Glenn is there, but
as soon as the President comes out, we will jump there.
I want to read, let's put up yesterday trying to
issue retaliatory tariffs of thirty four percent on top of
their already record senting tariffs, non monetary terrorists, illegal subsidiation
of companies, and massive long term currency manipulation, despite my

(23:48):
warning that any country that retaliates against the US by
issuing additional tariffs above and beyond they're already existing. Long
term tariff abuse of our nation will be immediately met
with new and substantially higher terror over and above these
initially said. Therefore, if China does not withdraw it's thirty
four percent increase above their already long term trading abuses

(24:10):
by tomorrow April eighth, twenty twenty five, the United States
will impose additional tariffs on China of fifty percent, effective
April ninth. Additionally, all talks are China concerning the requested
meetings with US will be terminated. Negotiation with other countries,
which so requests of means will begin taking place immediately.

(24:31):
Thank you for your attention in this matter, folks. That's
called economic warfare. President Trump just took a massive punch
of she right in the chops. They tried to get
cute last night and put up some additional terriffs, and
President Trump said, hey, you've abused this long enough. You've
abused it for currency manipulation, non tariff barriers, all of

(24:53):
it in stealing our intellectual property. I might add six
hundred million dollars a year. I think it's we talk
about a trade deficit of twenty five I think our
deficit on stolen intellectual property that came out of universities
that you paid for it, they came out of companies
that you helped finance, that came out of the government
that you pay taxes for is at least twenty five

(25:14):
or thirty trade dollars. That deficit on top of the
trade deficit shows you how much the Chinese Commists party
with their partners here in the United States of America,
the lords of easy money, the sociopathic overlords that run
Wall Street, of course, the global diest corporatist and the
apartheid state of Silicon Valley. All of them combined are

(25:35):
the partners of the Chinese Communist Party. And there was
ever a question or a President Trump was going to
do well. I think we've seen in the last four
or five days what he's going to do. This is
outright economic warfare. He's told him flat out, don't you
put Tara's on here, tough guy. If you don't take
them off by tomorrow, I'm going to add a fifty percent.
She's country economically cannot exist like that.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
That means essentially there'll be nothing shipped.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Into the United States of America, so the stakes couldn't
be higher. I think the markets are going to kind
of react to that. Short commercial break. We got the
White House. We're ready to go to see the President
talk momentarily. I think it's going to be in the
East Room. We also have Chris Kobak from Kansas on deck.
So much going on in that great state. Chris Kobec's

(26:20):
gonna give us up to speed on a I think
something that will actually shock you. Short commercial break, Birch
gold dot Com, Slash Bannon, end of the Dollar Empire,
the six free installment. But read them all you're going
to need to. It's totally accessible. This is why we
wrote it. Also, get to know Philip Patrick team now

(26:40):
more than ever. You need a hedge for times of
financial turmoil.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Told you that was coming, didn't I. Short break back
in a moment.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
Use your host Stephen kb.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
Okay, monumental news on the economic war with China. President's
going to talk momentarily in the East room of the
White House. We're going to go there for Chris Kobec's
here with breaking news coming out of Kansas. Chris, I'm
kind of confused. Here, you guys right now, don't elect judges.
We just had this huge Donnybrook up up in Wisconsin
about this. We've had this issue in North Carolina. It

(27:26):
looks like it's going to.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Go our way.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
There are judges elected in Kansas right now.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
No, they're not.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
Since nineteen fifty eight, they have been selected using the
so called Missouri model.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
When the Kansas.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Legislature proposed amy, that should have been our first clue.
By the way, it was a bad idea.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
It was called the Missouri model.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
But anyway, the Missouri model is where you have a commission.
You have a commission of people select the choices, and
then the governor has to pick from one of three
choices this special commission creates. But we back in nineteen
fifty eight, took it the Missouri model it even worse,
and we gave lawyers the control of the commission. The
majority of the commissioners have to be lawyers picked by

(28:05):
other lawyers. So it's a system of the lawyers, by
the lawyers, and for the lawyers. And as a result, Kansas,
a red state, has one of the most liberal, left leaning,
activist Supreme courts in the country. I've argued in front
of multiple state supreme courts. I say, the only one
that's worse than ours is California. And so we have
a constitutional amendment. The legislature just passed in Kansas two

(28:26):
thirds vote. It goes now to the people for ratification
to go to electing judges, which is what Kansas did
from statehood until nineteen fifty eight. And that's a political
earthquake in our state. If this is adopted by the people,
it will be such a positive transformation and it goes
to the whole problem we see in the federal judiciary

(28:46):
as well as judges who are not accountable to anyone.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
What do our audience have to do? Is this something
something for the legislature? Are they trying? Is this something
that needs to go to a vote? The war and
Posse wants to be all over this because we understand
the judges are everything.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
What are folks supposed to do?

Speaker 3 (29:04):
So it's already passed the legislature by the required two
thirds of majority for a constitutional amendment, and now it
goes to the people where it needs fifty percent plus one.
It'll be on the August twenty, twenty sixth ballot. You know,
definitely next summer warroom could definitely help by getting people
informed about the need to vote yes on electing judges. Steve,
let me put it this way, just to frame this

(29:25):
issue in a bigger picture, and that is, you know,
in a constitutional republic, we rely on judges to protect
our constitution and protect the rule of law. But there's
always the possibility that the judges may not be doing
so well.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
And as the.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Famous Robert Bork, the late great judge, put it in
nineteen ninety he said, well, who will guard the guardians?
Who will guard the judges when they go off the rails?
And his answer back then was we need to have judges.
We need to appoint judges who are originalists and who
stick to the text of the law. Well, that has
sometimes worked, but sometimes judges say they're originalists and say

(30:00):
in front of Congress they are one thing, but they
are actually something else. In Kansas we have had judges
legislating from the bench, and so there's an even the
best way to make judges accountable is to make them
face elections. Make them face Another would be judge every
six years who can point out the flaws in their
decision making.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
And so when you have judges who are not accountable.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
And this is true to a certain extent in the
federal judiciary, just like it is in Kansas. You can
see judges start legislating from the bench, becoming activists, rewriting
the law by reinterpreting it. And one of the solutions,
I believe the best solution, and one that's achievable here
in Kansas, is electing judges.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
And by the way, twenty two states already elect judges.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
But it's a very interesting insight into the problem of
a judiciary that is not following the text of the Constitution.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Christian one of the smartest guys legally in the entire
Trump Maga movement, just real quickly, because they're saying today
that they're going to go into court. Conservatives are going
to go into court challenge President Trump on his tariffs.
What's your whole take on the use of the federal
judiciary here to try to block President Trump's efforts to
effectuate the unitary executive theory?

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Sir well, I mean, obviously, we have the courts. They
are there for you know, when there's a gray area,
when there's an unclear area of the law. Absolutely, that's
what courts should do they should say, Well, the law
is written this way, the words must be interpreted the
way they were understood by the drafters of the constitution.
If you're a constitution that you're interpretating, interpreting, or a statute.

(31:34):
So going to the courts in and of itself is
not necessarily wrong if they have a legitim an argument.
But going to the courts with a bogus argument or
with an obviously weak argument solely with the intention of
getting a preliminary injunction to coum up the works and
put a hold on things until the higher courts can
overturn that preliminary in junction, that is an abuse of
the system real quickly.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Chrishia the number one guide to public in eelluctural about
our borders. Trump's and President Trump's report cards so far
head you grading.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Oh, I absolutely give him an a. I mean, this
has been amazing, using all of these resources, everything from
the US military to state National Guards, to giving ice,
taking the handcuffs off ice, letting them do their job.
In Bordatrol, morale is at an all time high, at
least in the careers of people there today.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
No, he's doing an amazing job.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Quebec.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
We got to go to the East room. What's your
social media? People want to follow you where they go.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
They can go to Chriscobok dot com. That's Kriskobach dot
com or Chris Kobok seventeen eighty seven on X.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Love you brother. Let's go to the East room, President,
United States.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
People actually very talented people.

Speaker 10 (32:51):
The twenty twenty four World Series champion, the Los Angeles Dodger,
and I want to congratulate you on a legendary season.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
And I watched it very closely.

Speaker 10 (33:07):
Some of those teams were home teams and.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
You did a big number.

Speaker 10 (33:12):
You're really amazing how it all came out and how
it all ended with us today. Is Dodger's owner and
chairman Mark Walter.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Thank you very much, man. Congratulations President san Castan.

Speaker 10 (33:27):
One of the greatest managers of the really ever to
wear the Dodger blue.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Dave Roberts, what a time.

Speaker 11 (33:34):
He said, welcome, Thanks you, sir, that's great.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
What a job. I think he would have lasted even
with George Denburner, right, I love George. He was very quick.
He would you lose two games and you were fired.
Great job. Dave.

Speaker 10 (34:00):
Also want to recognize Secretary of Agriculture.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
We have some great people. Brooke Rollins, who you know.

Speaker 10 (34:07):
When I came to office, they said the eggs are
very gone through the roof eggs.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
Said, what the hell are they talking about?

Speaker 10 (34:14):
I was there for four days and they were blaming
me for eggs and they had they've gone up like
six times or something with some record number.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
You couldn't get them.

Speaker 10 (34:22):
And I gave it to Brook and I just saw
the other day they're down seventy three percent. Right, that's
pretty good. And the press doesn't mention that. Nobody talks
about it, but I know Secretary of Labor Laurie Chavez
de Rimmer, thank you, congratulations. The chief of Staff, Susie

(34:44):
Wilds is a big Dodger fan, by the way, Susie.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (34:49):
And we have also representatives Kevin Kylie, Congressman Kevin Kyley,
Young Kim thank you, congratulations.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
Great job.

Speaker 10 (35:00):
Jay Obernaulty, Jay, thanks Jay, Nannette Barrigan.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
And that was a Tina. Now look at that. What
nice outfit.

Speaker 10 (35:14):
One of my favorite people, Gus Bella Rocas Congressman his
Addison McDowell, new to the Congress, but doing a great job.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (35:24):
Addison, a real good baseball player and a friend of mine.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Roger Williams, great job and another new congressman.

Speaker 10 (35:34):
But he's been there a long time in a mental sense,
because he has really done a job and he knows
Congress very well. He was with me for seven years.
Brian jack By, congratulations Brian and others. We have a
couple of senators here. I just don't particularly like him,
so I won't introduce. Over the course of this amazing season,

(35:58):
the members of this team, I.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
Didn't think it was that big a deal, actually, Washington.

Speaker 10 (36:14):
Over the course of this amazing season, the members of
this team gave us some of the most incredible performances
ever seen in the baseball diamond. In all of baseball history,
only six players have ever hit forty home runs and
stolen forty bases in a single season, and an elite
group known as the forty forty Club. It's a forty
to forty club, and very few people make it. But

(36:37):
unanimous National League MVP Shohei Otania come on, looks.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
Like a movie star. He's got a good future. I'm
telling you.

Speaker 10 (37:00):
He shattered all of those records last year. Think of it,
all of them, And he did something even more because
he became the first ever member of the fifty to
fifty club, So forty forty is top, hitting fifty four
home runs and fifty nine steals and accomplished an accomplishment
unparalleled in one hundred and forty nine years.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Of Major League baseball. Think of that, and that's just incredible.

Speaker 10 (37:25):
Even more incredibly, show hey clinch that achievement in what
some have called the greatest game ever.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
Was it that good of a game? It was pretty
quid time? Actually, right there?

Speaker 10 (37:36):
League?

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Is he good better and he's getting better and better.
That's scary for a lot of people. Huh.

Speaker 10 (37:44):
Even more incredibly, show Hey clinched the achievement. I mean
it really was, and at a time that, at an
age that nobody.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
Ever thought was possible.

Speaker 10 (37:53):
In September nineteenth, twenty twenty four, he did the unthinkable
by going six for six. This is a pretty amazing
I didn't realize it was that good. I saw that game,
six for six against the Marlins, with three homers, ten RBIs,
and a pair of stolen bases.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
Other than that, it was not a great game. How
many people have gone six for six just period?

Speaker 11 (38:17):
Right?

Speaker 4 (38:17):
Not very much. Maybe it doesn't, maybe a dozen't amazing.

Speaker 10 (38:21):
As you know, the Dodgers were down a lot of
talent on the mound last season due to injury. The
Resilient group used forty different pitchers, the most ever buy
an eventual World Series championship team.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
They had to go and get them.

Speaker 10 (38:35):
I don't know how they got them and where they
got them, but they got them because they won. I
know you especially missed the hard soul of the pitching staff,
Clayton Kershaw, who.

Speaker 9 (38:45):
Was really intact.

Speaker 10 (38:57):
Those are the best looking people I've ever seen. Incredible,
but Layton has been unbelievable. And if you look, you
look at his records and you look at the stamina
of the endurance that he's had, and we're really happy
to have him. I'm glad to meet him. I've watched
him for a long time. He's a young guy yet,
but I've watched you are a young guy, but I've

(39:18):
watched you for a long time.

Speaker 4 (39:19):
So congratulations. Amazing. All year the.

Speaker 10 (39:22):
Dodgers face down adversity. You entered the playoffs battered and bruised,
but not broken. When you ran out the healthy arms
you ran out of really healthy.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
They had great arms, but they ran out.

Speaker 10 (39:35):
It's called sports, it's called baseball in particular and pictures,
I guess you could say in really particular. But the
starting rotation during the National League Division Series is scrappy.
Dodgers bullpen shut out the Padres, saved the season.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
And forced Game five.

Speaker 10 (39:52):
Then key players battled back from mid season injuries to
help deliver the National League pennant, including superstars Mookie Betsush
you good, Mookie.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
That guy can play Canny.

Speaker 10 (40:20):
I mean, unbelievable, you really, uh, Mookie is I've been
watching it.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
I don't want to say I watched him when he
was on Boston, but I did. I didn't think.

Speaker 10 (40:31):
I didn't think that was a particularly good trade when
they made it, and I happened to be right and
Max onceie.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
I want to congratulate Max.

Speaker 12 (40:39):
And Max.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
Come. Then arms are very strong when I touch it.

Speaker 10 (40:50):
I'm used to shaking politicians and hitting their armors like jello,
and now it's like now it's like steel. All these guys,
but Accent's great, and also Yoshi Yamamoto, Yoshi Yoshio, Wow,

(41:16):
what great athletes, And of course series MVP Tommy Edmund
that was an mp VP chilling.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
The more guys really got right, that's pretty good. That's
a lot of talent you had to beat out there
for the m v P. But they all.

Speaker 10 (41:40):
Had an incredible Tommy was four oh seven with eleven
RBIs in six games.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
That's not bad, right, that's not bad.

Speaker 10 (41:50):
But when it counted to next game the Blockbuster World
Series against another iconic team team known as the New
York Yankees, I love the Yankees a you. George was
a great friend of mine. He had very few friends,
but he was. And if you want to spend work,
sit for nine innings with a game watching the Yankees

(42:12):
play with George, you were exhausted by the end.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
Of the game. It was actually hard work.

Speaker 10 (42:17):
But we love George, and they're doing a good job,
and they're doing well this season, and you're already nine
and two, and so you're doing a good job. Maybe
you see the same thing over again. In Game one
of the World Series, Freddie Freeman on a sprained ankle.
He's a great player with a broken finger and a
broken rib. Channel Kirk Gibson's legendary walk off home run

(42:39):
in Game one of the nineteen eighty eight World Series.
Very that was a game that pretty much everybody remembers.
He could hardly swing in the bat, but he did.
He swung it one time. It was a shot. On
the first pitch Freddy saw. In the bottom of the tenth,
he hit an unforgettable walk off grand Slam home run,
the first in world is history.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
It's amazing.

Speaker 10 (43:01):
The Dodgers rode the momentum to win two of their
next three games, placing them on the verge of baseball immortality.
In the dramatic Game five, down five runs on the
top of the fifth, that was a strange I'll say
for those Yankee fans, but I'm not saying I was
a Yankee fan because I love these.

Speaker 4 (43:23):
People behind me.

Speaker 10 (43:24):
But down five runs in the top of the fifth,
with two outs and the bases loaded, the Dodgers gave
us one of the grittiest half inning World Series Events
showings that anybody's ever seen. Mookie started the rally by
beating out a routine groundball the first which he's fast
as hell.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
I don't know how to hell you get your.

Speaker 10 (43:47):
Having that speed is a Goodn't that a great thing?
I played baseball, but it was sort of slow. I
wasn't fast driving in the phenomenal kyk Hernandez whisky.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
The hell of a group. Then Freddie drove in two.

Speaker 10 (44:14):
More runs, and Ta Oscar Hernandez drove in another couple
of Ya. That's a group, uh Ti Oscar, So you're
doing well this season too, Yes, that's what I heard.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
That's what I heard.

Speaker 10 (44:37):
After a few dominant Indians from Blake training Wiz Bloke,
I heard dominant right. That's done. Great job, Blake, and
the team was crowned the World Series champion against a
great team. The Yankees are a great team and always

(44:59):
a great franchise, I guess, I don't know, like twenty
eight or something. They've won a lot, probably maybe more
than any team in history overall, and you might be
catching them pretty soon if you keep going.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
You got little ways to go. I guess.

Speaker 10 (45:14):
This scattery report at the start of the series said
that the Dodgers could win by focusing on the fundamentals,
and that's exactly what they did. You showed America that
it's not about individual Glareo's about the team, digging deep
and sprinting right through first base.

Speaker 4 (45:30):
And you did that all the time. I watch some games.

Speaker 10 (45:34):
I love baseball, I don't get to watch as much
as I'd like, but you always.

Speaker 4 (45:37):
See a spirit on this team.

Speaker 10 (45:38):
I think a lot of that has to do with
the ownership and the management, frankly, but you see a
spirit on the Dodgers that you don't see with a
lot of teams.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
A lot of teams I turn on, I say, oh,
let's forget it. When I turn on the Dodgers.

Speaker 10 (45:52):
I like to watch the team, And now that I've
gotten to meet these guys personally.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
I like it even more. I'm going to like it
even more. And a great start.

Speaker 10 (46:00):
After seeing how successfully you've begun this season, I can
tell you that you can plan on being back here.
I hope you're going to be back here next year.
I don't want to give you two I don't want
to give you too much because we want to have
a little suspense for next year. But I will tell
you we're going to go down. We're going to do
something we don't do generally. We're going to run them

(46:21):
down really fast. Have a game today, Do you have
a game today or tonight? We're going to run them
down to the Oval Office and we're going to show
them the fabled Oval Office, and there's nothing like it.
And there's wonderful owner, one of the greatest owners in sports,
by the way, from everything i've heard, one of the
greatest owners in sports, along with your other compatriots, right, fellas.

(46:42):
It's a great team of owners, and that's very important.
But we're going to he said they'd love it, and
I think he'd like to do it himself.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
So we're going to We'll get out of here and
we will run.

Speaker 10 (46:51):
We'll sprint down and we'll see the Oval Office, which
is really something to see.

Speaker 6 (46:56):
You know.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
It's funny.

Speaker 10 (46:59):
People come from all over, the biggest people, the richest people,
the most powerful people, and they come and they go
into the Oval Office and they just.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Stare, Oh, well, that's something.

Speaker 10 (47:11):
They all have beautiful offices, they have offices that are
the best in the world in many cases, but they
love the Oval Office. So with all of that, i'd
like to now introduce you to the Dodgers chairman, Mark
Walter to say a few words, and then we're going
to follow that up with Clayton is going to say
a couple of things. And that's a great representative of

(47:31):
a great team. Thank you very much, Mark, Thank you.

Speaker 12 (47:42):
Well, thank you very much. We're very pleased to participate
in the tradition of bringing champions to the White House.
Last season was an incredible season. We won the World Series,
second time in since twenty twenty and only eight times

(48:06):
in our seasons our history. We played in front of
almost four million fans and we had many millions more
on television. Our global following has soared, and not only
from Shohei Otani, but also from Mookie Bets, Freddie Freeman,

(48:31):
Clayton Kershaw, and many many more. Alongside this on field success,
we have been deeply immersed in our community. Our players
and managers have supported our have each had foundations in
support for communities. Our trust last year has committed one

(48:55):
hundred million dollars to help Chicago or LA fire.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
And so on.

Speaker 12 (49:02):
Behalf of the organization. I want to thank you, thank.

Speaker 11 (49:04):
You very much.

Speaker 5 (49:13):
Okay, Wow, this is a This is an incredible honor
for me and to be to stand here today representing
the Los Angeles Dodgers, in this group of staff and
players behind me today. The twenty twenty four Los Angeles
Dodgers season is one that will go down the history books,
always holding a special place in the hearts of myself
and those there with me, as well as millions of

(49:36):
Dodger fans around the world. This organization exemplifies what it
means to come together as one for a greater purpose,
and representing represents something so much bigger than themselves. The
selflessness and humility that each one of these players and
staff have shown over the last year is truly an inspiration.

(49:57):
They have constantly played hurt, switched positions, and taking the
ball to put the team first. As a spectator for
our championship run last year, I was in awe of
this group. Their unwavering confidence coupled with a selfless pursuit
for team excellence was an inspiration. That is why I'm
so grateful to get to speak today on their behalf,

(50:18):
as I know none of them would say this about themselves.

Speaker 6 (50:22):
I'm moving forward.

Speaker 5 (50:22):
I hope the twenty four Dodgers can serve as an
inspiration of many like they were to me, not just
in sports, but in life. Remembering to put others before ourselves,
it moves a team and a society forward. So thank
you for allowing me to speak today, Because the story
of the twenty twenty four World Series champion Los Angeles
Chodgers is a true joy to get to tell and

(50:44):
it's because of the extraordinary people that are behind me
and their incredible pursuit of excellence. Thank you, and.

Speaker 6 (50:55):
Mister President, we have a gift for you as well.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
Oh I like that.

Speaker 11 (51:09):
Come on, m.

Speaker 4 (51:26):

Speaker 2 (51:43):
President, their team Jersey, the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
Let's go back and play the music. Ice, Let's go
ahead and play it. Don't cut the audio. The President's
gonna lead them to the Oval Office right now. I
