Speaker 1 (01:03):
You care about.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Okay, on to some very important things and let's start
with one of our very important guests, which is Oklahoma
Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, former MMA fighter, Senate Committee
on Armed Services Member, Senate Committee on Environment and Public
Works Member, Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Member, Senator.
(01:24):
Good morning, and thank you for joining Fox across America.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
What's going on, Emily Well, Senator.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
You tell us so A lot is happening, obviously with
a big, beautiful bill, and we know that you're a
huge proponent of it. We're grateful for your advocacy and
for being clear with specifics about why you.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Support this bill.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
And I wanted to talk about for listeners right now
what would happen if it doesn't pass, because I think
that's important to know. And yeah, no, please go ahead,
go ahead.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Well, first of all, we gotta we gotta rag on
Jimmy for this a little bit. I mean, how does
the how does how do you how does the host
go on vacation during the Super Bowl? I mean, this
is this is big. I mean, this is.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
This is the week.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
We're delivering on President Trump's agenda. We're making its tax
cuts permanent. You know, we're secure in the border, we're
propping up our military, we're becoming energy into pendant, and
Jimmy just thinks it's a great time to go on vacation.
I mean, what type of leader is that?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Well, good thing, he's.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Not in the oval office, right, so it's okay for
him to take a short break.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
But obviously you're.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Covering the helm and I'm just slowly worm filling in
right now.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
What he did, what he knew is he wasn't able
to actually live up to this week's high volume of listeners,
and so he wanted to bat out and put somebody
that can actually handle it, like yourself, in the chair.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
So we I get it.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
I mean I respect that everybody's got no other limitations.
But let's try about what happens with the bill if
if it doesn't pass. So this is it's the irony
of this is actually going to be shocking, I think.
So right now you're hearing there's a lot of talk
about this bill ads three point three trillion dollars in
deficit spending, right, you've heard that before. And the sneaky
(03:16):
attack is that will happen if we actually don't pass
the bill. Because right now we're we're working every current
what we call current policy. That's the that's the tax
policies at President Trump passed in twenty eighteen and signing law.
If we if we allow this, if we allow this
(03:37):
bill not to pass and we can't get the agreement
on making the taxes permanent, what ends up happening is
we have a four trillion dollar actual surplus in taxes
coming back to Washington, d c. So what the Democrats
are saying is is we'll just let it expire. Then
(03:58):
we're actually going to have new revenue. But you're going
to not let it expire. That's actually going to be
a deficit to the treasurer. But if you actually look
at the CBO score, there's two CBO scores out here.
One is the Democrats pretending asking the CBO to pretend
like if the taxes expired and we went back to
(04:19):
high taxes for everybody and it costs every taxpayer in
America more money. The CEBO says, well, we'll have a
four trillion dollar surplus if you do that, And so
our ask was is like, no, you can't do that.
The taxes haven't expired. We're seeing the taxes make them permanent.
So what happens if we don't, if we don't let
(04:39):
the taxes expire and we make them permanent, well you
go from a three point three trillion dollar deficit to
actually a five hundred and seven billion dollar surplus, which
is what which is exactly what happened when President Trump
is in office in twenty eighteen, the CBO said we're
going to have one hundred and a fifty billion dollar
(05:02):
deficit and reduced taxes. And what's happened is the Treasurer
actually in a year and a half saw a one
hundred and fifty dollars surplus because why the American people
took the money, invested it in their own backyard, invested
it in their businesses, hired new more people, bought more stuff,
(05:22):
and we saw a surplus in and just income taxes
coming to to washing DC. So it's very disingenuine what
the Democrats are saying out there.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Can I ask you, Senator, because to that point, if
it doesn't pass, it's my understanding that you know a
family for they would see a seventeen hundred dollars a
year tax increase on average child tax credit, cutting half
for forty million families, twenty six million small businesses would
experience like a major tax increase in additionally, right, and
(05:54):
so please, I know you don't speak for other senators,
but for those of US Americans that are confused by
the two that didn't support this bill, can you explain
sort of what is the issue? Because while I understand
perhaps no bill is perfect, it doesn't seem that voting
no on this and not letting this move forward was
the right decision, given that this is what we have
in front of us, and there is so many positive
(06:15):
benefits and so many frightening downsides if it doesn't pass.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Well, Emily, you actually phrase that perfect. So there's two
separate issues on this one. Rand Paul who voted no,
he ran is I don't know how to say Rand
is ran. He's a very passionate guy, extremely smart, but
he makes his decisions in different directions. His whole thing
is is that we shouldn't be adding the debt limit
(06:39):
increase into this. And here's the problem with that. We're
going to have to raise the debt limit because President
Trump inherited a very very bad economy and an inflated
budget that was that literally every government program in the
last four years undereath the Biden administration either increased between
fifty and one hundred percent their budget just completely inflated
(07:01):
their numbers. Well, because that we've overspent. This is like
buying a selling company that you're going to restore, but
you've got to go get a bank loan. So you
go out there and you say, hey, I know this
company is in the red. We have a plan to
get it in the black. I need you to loan
the money. And this is what we're going to do,
and the banker looks at it goes, yeah, this is
a good idea. I'll loan the money. That's what we've
(07:23):
got to do here. We've got to loan the money
to allow President Trump's economy and President Trump's plan for
America to actually come together. And what that does is
that's us cutting our deficit, which we're cutting our deficits
spending by one point six trained dollars, the largest deficit
reduction in any Congress in history of the United States.
(07:44):
And then we're also increasing the economy because we're making
the tax us permanent, We're putting in policies for energy independence,
we're bringing down inflation with the One Big Beautiful Bill,
And so you're going to see the GDP, which we've
already seen it increase. We're going to continue to increase
or see inflation go down. And at some time those
(08:04):
two charts, by our deficit reduction and the increase in
the economy, they touch and we could have a balanced
budget for the first time in ninety six, in two
and a half years. So Ran is saying that he
doesn't want to borrow money, We're going to have to
borrow the money. So we have two choices in this one.
We borrow the money now on this bill, and we
just have to negotiate among Republicans. Because it's reconciliation. We
(08:27):
can do this with a simple majority of fifty one.
If we don't do it on reconciliation, we have to
pass it with sixty, which means we're going to have
to negotiate with the Democrats. What President Trump has been
saying is like, no, we can't. If I have to
negotiate with the Democrats on the debt, on the debt increase,
I'm going to have to give the keys away to
the White House. They're going to literally Chuck Schumer's going
(08:49):
to hold President Trump's hostage over it. Because we can't
deliver it by ourselves because we don't have fifty four votes,
so this is the time to do it. Ran just
can't get over himself on that one. So he's voting no,
which is an easy way for him to say no,
it's it's just not practical. Uh, what's the what Tom
tillis his issue is with us cutting the fraud and
(09:10):
waste out of I want to say it's really his
issue with cutting the front waist. His issue is is
we're cutting out the the gaming system, which is part
of the fraud and waste that the that states do.
And North Carolina is taking advantage of the American taxpayer
by having high reimburshment rates and uh. And basically what
(09:33):
they do is it's called a provider tax. They charge
the provider a high tax to cover the states share
of the match that they're on medicaid. And so when
we're when we have medicaid for the states, the federal
government pays back the states a certain percentage, but the
state's supposed to pay a percentage. What that what North Carolina,
(09:54):
these high uh, these these high provider tax states do
is that they provide they put high tax to the
provider and it's unfair because it makes the reimbursement from
the federal government even higher. And what this, what we're
doing with medicaid, is saying you can't do that. Everybody's
got to be on the same playing field. And if
you're taking advantage because Obamacare allowed them to do that,
(10:15):
if you're taking advantage of it, we're going to scale
you down to what the national average is for most
red states which aren't taking advantage of it because of Obamacare.
We're going to bring your average down from twenty twenty
five to twenty thirty two. So you have seven years
to get your house in order to bring this back
down to where it should be so we can quit
(10:37):
inflating our numbers and causing the taxpayers literally billions of
dollars every month for reimbursement. And he because of this,
North Carolina is going to over seven years, is going
to have to become more physical responsible for themselves. And
he's fighting for a statement. So that's his big issue.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Senator Mark Wayne Mullen is standing by guys, we're going
to take a short break. We're going to come back
and talk about some more with him.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
You're listening to fuck across America across America.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
It's your guest host Emily Compagno in for Jimmy Fayla,
and rejoining us now is Senator Mark Wayne Mullen.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And we just talked about the big Beautiful Bill. We
got learned a lot and.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Got a lot of information from the Senator, and now
we're going to talk about two very important additional topics.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I don't know your.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Position on this, actually, so I'm curious which way, but
it was the sale of the proposed sale of millions
of acres of public land. Can you explain the pros
or con? I mean, we know the cons, but is
there any pros to this? And for many of us
that I know that, it's been about ten years in
the making and it's been something that's been proffered for
(11:45):
quite some time now, but many people, from conservationists and
hunters and so many of us across America, for varied reasons,
find that very frightening. But is there something that we're
missing here and could that actually pass?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Thank Emily, you're much better hosts than Jimmy because you
actually talked substance here. I'm going to let me yes, Actually,
there is a pros and cons of this the cons
is really the messaging got away from us, and I
am I'm a hunter. My first deer I ever killed
with the BOA was fourteen years old and it was
(12:20):
a meal deer on public land in Colorado, and so
I've hunted public lan. Of course we have a ranch
a hunt on most of the time. But I get
people's concerns on this one, and that wasn't Mike Lee's
perspective on this. The messaging got away from us because
the timing. I always tell people policy may be right,
but the timings can always be wrong. The policy was
(12:43):
needed to be reworked a little bit, and before it
was reworked, it kind of got out of hand. It
was reworked multiple times. It's not in the bill now
it's gone. But Mike Lee's whole purpose was he was like, look,
seventy percent of Utah is owned by the federal government,
and what we're saying is if it's five miles outside
(13:05):
of the city limits, which especially because cities there get choked,
that's what's causing high prices and high land prices and
high rent and cost of housing is because they can't
grow anymore. He's saying, if they're not being used for
controversial controvationist purposes. They're not a hunting lease if it's
not a national park, and it's just setting there wasteful land,
(13:26):
why can't the state have the right to buy the
land back? And there's the other and which isn't it's
kind of hard to argue that. I mean, it's really
going to fight in Oklahoma. But in the state, like
we're seventy percent of the state is owned by the
federal government. It prevents you from being able to grow
the other side of this is it's extremely extremely hard,
especially when you have a woke anti fossil fuel administration
(13:52):
like we had under Eath Obama and like we had
with Biden. It's extremely difficult to develop public land for
the resources that are underneath it. And we have more
resources meaning from rare earth minerals to fossil fuels being
oil and gas and other mining that's that's extremely important
(14:12):
to that we're having to ship in from China in
public lands that we can't get to. We can. We
have more reserves in China and Saudi Arabia and on
our public lands, and we can't develop it because it's
almost impossible because from one administration. The next if we
were to put this in private property, we could still
do that. We could get the resources we have, We
(14:33):
could we could avoid some of the controvationist issues that
continue to sue and settle, which causes problems. We could
still keep the land looking prying for for the United
States and for future generations, at the same time not
make us dependent on China and uh. And it's just
an easier process at that point. But so there's pros
(14:57):
to this and there's cons because cons is like, once
you say that, you can never get it back, and
I understand that it needs to be reworked. And as
we said, maybe it should be specific specifically to Utah
since other states didn't want this and Michael is going
to come back. But if you could, if you can
imagine for a second, if we could keep their royalties
for the land that the United States already owns, and
(15:19):
we're able to develop it in a very controvationist way
but still limit our dependency on foreign countries because we
have the resources here. It makes us our national security better.
And at the same time, we could use that money
to pay down the national debt, which could be the
only way we could ever pay down the debt and
the un art you in mind's lifetime.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Senator, thank you for bringing clarity to something that I
confess I didn't look enough into to appreciate those nuances.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
And I feel a lot better about it.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
But I agree that this wasn't the correct vehicle clearly,
because it needs to be a little more clearer, I think,
to the rest of America and what and when it
is state specific so that we don't go running around
with our hair on fire. And then the final question
for you, sir, and the most important is how's your
wife Christy And how's her car collection doing? And how's
(16:11):
the it's all about the girls rally, because you know,
we have to end on that note that I love
the most, and I hope she's doing well behind the wheel.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
She's actually right here beside me, and she gave me
a vehicle the other day that she wanted to buy
another car, and I was like, hey, babe, let's all
let's sell one before we buy one, because you know,
she's a huge Shelby fan and she's actually wanting to
look at getting a Shelby truck. So now she's trying
to convince me to buy a Shelby truck, and I
was like, don't don't do that to me. You know
(16:39):
you want the truck for yourself, not me. So's she's
still working her magic, but she's doing wonderful. Still loves me.
She came up here because it's been a for all weekend.
She's started to go home with the girls here on
a flight here later this afternoon. So I'll be kind
of sad, but she blessed me this weekend by coming
up and saying hello and spend some time with me.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I love that, and I love for cars.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
And you might find on Christmas Day a Shelby truck
out in front with a big red row because red,
big red boat. Because you know the best way, the
best way to get what you want is to give.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
It as a gift to your spouse. I know my
husband and I enjoyed doing. But you might get tools
that might stop you the Christmas time.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
I'll take a picture, yes.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
All, I'll look forward to that. Well, both of you,
God bless you stay safe behind the wheel. And Senator,
thank you for doing the Lord's work and for doing
America's work up there on the Senate. It's really gratifying
to have such earnest and high caliber individuals there representing us,
and we are grateful for it.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Sir, Thank you, well, thank you, have a good day.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
What an incredible conversation with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. He
really knows his stuff and he's always such a great
resource when I need to be educated on what exactly
is going on in the hill and what exactly might
be up for policy. So, guys, thank you for listening
to that incredible conversation with a senator, and we will
be right back with more Fox Across America. So America,
(18:03):
I'm your guest host Emily Campano, filling in for the
great Jimmy Fayla. And now we have the even greater
Lara Trump, host of the new Fox News show My
View and former co chair of the Republican National Committee
and my favorite title of hers my friend Laura. Welcome
back to Fox Across America.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Hey girl, Hey, so good to be on with you.
I love you guys hosting Jimmy better watch it.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
No, all we've been doing is like talking bad about
him behind his back.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
He's not going to ever let me come back.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
He knows we all know what we love them.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
So Lara, let's just open with this.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
There are rumors that you are seriously or strongly considering
running for the now open Senate seat in the future
that Senator Tom Tillis will not be seeking reelection for
Insiders say, your odds are as high as one could
be considering it. You have early name recognition among GEOP
voters and certainly huge backing and support across the country.
(19:03):
So I wanted to give you the opportunity now to
share any thoughts on whether, indeed you are considering a
run for a US Senate seat in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Well, Emily, you know a lot of people probably remember
I've considered kind of running for or filling a Senate seat. Now.
This would be the third time. The first time was
actually during the mid terms and twenty two Ted Budd
ultimately ran for the GOP and won that Senate seat
there in North Carolina, and then obviously Marco Rubio in
bord of vacating his Senate seat to become our incredible
(19:35):
Secretary of State. The timing of both of those didn't
really work out for me, and to be fully transparent, I.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Would love to do it.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
This is all kind of fresh within the past twenty
four hours for me really learning that this was a
viable option and that Senator tell.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Us would be you know, you know, wouldn't be seeking reelection.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
So look, I'm considering it. I think that one thing
that I think all of us in the Trump family
have learned is that it is so incredible to be
able to impact the lives of people across this country.
No one knows that more so than my father in law.
And North Carolina is my home state. It's where I
was born and raised. It made me the person I
am today, and obviously I have had a lot of
(20:12):
things to look into with it, but yeah, I mean
it is something that if it works out and the
timing works and it works out for my family, it
is absolutely something that I would consider doing well.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Laura, you know I support everything that you do, and
literally during commercial break, I was like, oh my gosh,
that would be the most incredible thing. But most importantly,
I'll be praying for your decision and just hearing you along.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
The way every step of the way.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
So let's get to your incredible show which I watch
every Saturday, my view on Fox News, and this Saturday,
in particular, I thought was an incredible interview that you
had an incredible show with Todd and Julie Chris Lee,
and I'm hoping that you can share a bit about
what you learned during those interviews about their time in
prison and about their pardon and their life after.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Well.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
It was amazing and I was so honored because Emily,
they gave me their very first exclusive interview after the pardon,
after leaving prison, and what an honor to be able
to sit down with them. You know, they're a family
who I think a lot of people who tuned into
their show, Chris we knows best got to know over
the course of you know.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
The past decade.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
And then they felt like, and they made this very
clear during their time on trial, that they were targeted.
They were targeted because of their fame, and they were
targeted because of their political views they feel, and there
were so many questions, you know, that came up during
the course of their trial, and I'm sure that went
into the decision of pardons are Alice Murray Johnson, and
of course President Trump to issue them ultimately this pardon.
(21:36):
They truly were given very harsh sentences for their convictions,
but I thought the most incredible part for both of
them was the way. They said prison changed them. They said,
you know that coming out of prison, they realized how
lucky they are.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
They are so grateful to God.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
They're so grateful to President Trump, of course, but they
also learned, you know, kind of the flaws of our
prison system and the huge prison reform advocates, and they
consider the people they were in prison with. They're brothers
and sisters. And they both said, look, we did not
leave them behind. We're not just out on the other
side and going to go back to living our lives
the same way. We really want to see movement happen
(22:13):
in this space, and they're so dedicated to it. I
thought it was amazing to hear how it had touched
both of them, And then I thought it was so
crazy because for two years, Emily, they didn't have any contacts.
When you and your spouse are incarcerated, you have no
ability to talk to one another.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And I was so curious, you know, how would it be.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
You know, my husband and I've been together now for
almost seventeen years, and I think about two years apart
from him. How would that change us? They said, we
didn't miss a beat. It was like not a second past.
We were in each other's hearts the entire time, and
you can truly feel the love between this family. Again,
I thought it was so incredible to see them all
together and that they gave me the opportunity to initially
(22:51):
sit down with them. But again, they're grateful to God,
They're grateful to President Trump, and I think on the
other side of this, they really want to.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Use their position for good.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
And I'm going to be paying attention, I think we
all will to see how they help them go for
them and what they ultimately end up doing.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It was very cool.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
You and I have talked about prison reform and about
the situation with a Bureau of Prisons, and obviously state
prisons are different. But what did you learn from them,
What things that either either struck you or what things
that they're going to be focusing on. Because I feel
like the events of the last few years, you know,
prior to COVID, the riots and the handling of that,
(23:29):
and then the absolute ruin of many of our American cities,
great American cities that are now sort of fall into
disarray under Democrat and radical leadership. What I felt personally
was that all of the steps of criminal justice reform
that your father in law was able to accomplish during
his first term term unfortunately fell to public disfavor because
(23:49):
there was such a horrific pendulum screen swing the other direction,
and I felt like we lost a lot of the
strides that we made the common sense reform, and that
many people don't know meat is done fit for human consumption,
or that spouses can't talk to each other, that you
can't visit your loved ones in prison often, and there's
just there's so many things. So I know that was
a lot, But is there anything that stuck out to
(24:11):
you in terms of their commitment, specifically that you are
looking forward to learning more from by them.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Well, And I think Savannah talked about it too with me.
She talked about it.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
I interviewed her about a month ago from my view,
and she talked about the fact that.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
The First Step Act, which of course was this historic.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Prison reform, you know, the most comprehensive prison reform in
decades that President Trump got passed during his first term
in office, was not being properly implemented. And I think
to your point, the past four years weren't great for it.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You know, no one.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Really did what was supposed to be done via these prisoners,
and they talked about Todd and Julie both talked about
inmates who you know, had served their time, had served
their debt to society, who were first time, non violent offenders,
who got these egregious sentences, and you.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Know, the first step Aact is supposed to you address that.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
And if you serve your time and you are a
model inmate and you do the right things, then you
are you know, and you're not a threat to society,
then we ought to give you another chance. That they said,
the first step back has not been implemented the way
that President Trump wants it to be, and the Second
Chance Act the same thing.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
So I think those are things.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
That look obviously, this president in the first six months
has done so much. He's had a lot on his plate.
He's had a lot of major world issues to tackle.
But I know how much that meant to him its
first term in office, to address the prison reform, to
get these really important, you know, to changes made to
a prison system. And I think that this is something
(25:43):
he's really going to want to pay attention to and
ensure is actually being done the proper way. We have
a new director of the Bureau of Prisons that he
appoints it, and I know that that's also something that
he wants to pay close attention to. So hopefully with
the spotlight that Todd and Juli are able to put
on it, hopefully, with President Trump back in the White
House and a new director of the Federal Bureau of
Prison hopefully we see some movement in that space. But
(26:05):
they were both very adamant. You know about the First
Step Act and the Second Chance Act.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
You are so right, and there are estimates of dozens
of thousands of prisoners that are over eligible for release
under that First Step Act, and you're right, it wasn't
implemented to the best way. So this is it's exciting
for me to know that there are more high profile
advocates out there, and of course that the President is
back in office so that he can ensure with a
new BOP director, that we can ensure that his wishes,
(26:34):
which are the public's wishes, are actually carried out and
that families, ultimately families can be restored back together and
criminal justice reform obtained. So moving on to this, Laura,
I know you have an incredible.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Okay, so you and I love to work out.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
You are my goals in many ways, but you're such
a great inspiration to me and champion for me when
I'm like, I don't feel like it, the last thing
I want to do is go to the gym.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
I really appreciate your encouragement and in that realm.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
And you have this incredible athletic wear line, the LT Collection,
So talk to us about that because I love it
and it's so gorgeous, super comfortable, super amazing.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
So anyone that loves working out or is looking for.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Gifts for people that love the gym and love working
out and went to like amazing in it, then please
go to the LT Collection.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
So tell us more.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Oh thank Sivilly.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Well, listen, I think we all need a little boost
from time to time, we all need a little insfo
and so we can all kind of help each other
out in that space. And look, we're on a Maha trajectory, right.
We want to make America healthy again. I think people
are starting right now to pay attention maybe in a
way we never really have as a country to our
health and to what we're putting in our bodies and
moving our bodies more and doing the right thing. So
(27:45):
that we don't need to turn to pharmaceuticals so that
our bodies stay healthy.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Longer, just on their own.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
And so part of that, of course is working out.
And it's been a huge part of my entire life.
And it's funny because so many people for so long
said to me, you should have a fitness clothing line,
but I didn't really know exactly how to go about it.
I found a great partner who's worked with me, and
everything is made in the USA. That was very important
to me with this collection. If anyone's interested, Laura Trump
(28:12):
dot com is the website you can go to. But
it's all supposed to make you feel good, help you
look good, get in the gym, inspire you, and you know,
as a busy mom, I think there's so many of
us out there who want to look cute while we're
dropping the kids off at school. Maybe we need to
go run some errands before we hit the gym. Whatever
it is, you can use these clothes for all those things.
(28:34):
They are very versatile. You can look at doing all
the things you need to do in a day. And
I've been really excited to undertake this. It's a big,
big thing to do to put your name on a
clothing line, and I wanted it to be great if
I put my name on it, and I think it
is great. And in fact, my daughter the other day
was saying, can you make kids clothes because I want
to match you, mom, So no, Onmily, I think I'm
(28:54):
going to have to do a kid's line with this
with my LT collection too, so stay tuned, could be
coming soon.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
I've noticed lately that there are a ton of mom
and me like options for where I shop, and I'm like,
oh my gosh, I love that.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
So it's it's so on trend and on point. And
then to be inclusive of the like of course you
have to do it's amazing. I could personally.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Attest that, like if you if you feel good, then
you are more inspired to work out or give it.
You're all in And some may scoff at that, but
it actually does make a difference. It really really does.
To feel confident, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
That's right. We gotta look good because as the rest.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Of us are all sweaty and gross, we know that
we look amazing in the LT collection. So and then
I wanted to take this opportunity to talk with you
about Big Dog Ranch Rescue.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Dogs are close to your heart.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
They're so close to mine, and this nonprofit in particular
is really impactful, and I know you love them, so
can you share a little bit more about them?
Speaker 6 (29:49):
Yeah? So, Big Dog Ranch Rescue is the largest cage free,
no killed dog shelter in the entire country. They are
based out of South Florida, and they go anywhere and
everywhere around world. They literally when the Ukraine Russia situation happened, initially,
they sent an entire team to Poland to make sure
that animals there were rescued. They've gone to China to
(30:10):
rescue dogs because of the China dog meat trade. Anywhere
there's a natural disaster in this country, Big Dog Ranch
shows up there. And something people probably haven't paid a
lot of attention to, but if I guess not surprising
is that our southern border has actually been a horrific
spot for dumped dogs over the past four years because
a lot of people would, either for protection or because
(30:31):
they were family dogs, bring their animals with them when
they would come up through the Southern border illegally, and
then they would get to, you know, across the border
and they would either be put on airplanes as we
all know, or buses, and they weren't able to bring
these animals because the animals were just dumped there. Big
Dog Ranch has gone their time and time again, rescued
hundreds of dogs from the Southern border.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
But they're so great at what they do. And I'm just.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Such an animal advocate and a rescue advocate, you know.
I think a dog who's rescued knows that you saved them.
And the beauty of rescuing a dog, I think is
that you're not just saving one life, You're really saving
two because you're saving that dog's life and then you're
opening up a space and a shelter for another animal
to go in there. They know for the rest of
their life that you save them. They're eternally grateful. And
(31:15):
you know, I have a house full of dogs. My
husband soon is probably going to cut me off, but Emily,
as long as I can, I'm going to keep pushing
the envelope and keep bringing these fosters home. And then
he falls in love with them, is how it goes,
and then he's like, we can't let them go. There's
a strategy and a method to my madness. But a
dog Ranch Rescue dot org is their website again.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
There.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
They're fantastic, get what they do, and I'm so honored
that they allow me to help them raise money because
it is such.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
A it's such a cause, a cause.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
That's so close to my heart, and I feel like
my entire life I've advocated for these animals and we're
now making a lot of great progress. So if anyone's
looking for a family friend, I would always say, consider rescue, adopt.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Don't shop.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
I love that, and I love that you're just building
your packet home one pop at a time.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
From me foster to you adopt. You're like, there's.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
There's so much done with this, but it's his fault.
Every time we have a foster, he's like, we can't
send this one back. So I'm just going to keep
bringing the foster home and we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Lets theric.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Trump's hard, as we say in the South.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
That's right, And I love you guys all have so
many beagles. And you and I were talking before and
you were like, somehow like you just became people like
brought beagles to you, which is so sweet because I
feel like it's like they found you you know.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
You have them.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Well, it's true, and you know beagles are actually they
have such a great temperament. They are the animals that
are the number one tested on dogs anywhere in the world.
When you have the animal testing, they typically are the
ones they use because they have such a great and
gentle disposition. And I will also say that, thanks to
Doge and President Trump, we have shut down so many
animal testing labs that the federal government was funding over
(32:50):
the course of the past six months.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I don't even I think.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
There's maybe a small handful left, and I believe those
will be closed before too long. So something else to
love about this president. Maybe he doesn't talk about it
all the time, but he is there for the dogs
and the animals as well.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
And if he.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
Ever forgets, who's got a daughter in law who's making
sure that he does.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
So I can promise you.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
That I love that so much. I love Laura, how
real you are.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
You are. It's like it's like having your bestie in
such a position to that point, with such a big
voice and such a big platform, promoting these causes that
we all care about, and it's so deeply refreshing and
gratifying and I'm just cheering you on every.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Step of the day, every step of the way, in everything.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
So thank you so much for joining Fox Across America.
And I can't wait to see you on the Outnumbered
couch hopefully soon. And until then, I'll be rocking LT
Collection gear at the gym, totally dying but loving every
minute of it because I know I look good.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Yeah, you do? You do?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
You? Key? I know you're going to be in the gym.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
We'll see you there. We'll see on the odd number couch,
my friends.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
All right, my dear talk soon. All right, guys.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
That was the amazing Laura Trump talking to us about
a potential Senate run, Huge news, and also really important
things like criminal justice reform, her interview with the Chrizlies
on My View with Laura Trump on Fox News, Big
Dog Ranch Rescue, and so much more.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Thanks for listening.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Here's a break the show that even stupid people can
listen to.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
That Welcome back to Fox Across America.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Emily Campanno filling in for the great Jimmy Fayla, and
we are ending in our first hour together.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
We're already a third over. I'm so sad.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
This was an incredible hour Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. We
talked about the big Beautiful Bill. We talked about the
sale of public lands, what.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
That's all about.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
We talked a little bit about muscle cars, you know,
my favorite topic. And then we had the great Laura
Trump on and we talked about criminal justice reform. We
talked about the interview she had with the Chrizlies on
My View with Laura Trump, we talked about Big Dog
Ranch Rescue, Adopt, Don't Shop, and we talked about her
amazing fitness line lt collection, and most importantly with that,
(34:54):
we talked about her teasing potentially a Senate run for
North Carolina. So all good stuff, all excite stuff. And
what I want to know from you guys is what
do you do at a bar when you are ordering
a drink that you think might annoy the bartender? And
here's why I'm asking that, because apparently gen Z has
this quirk where they pay and close out their tab
(35:17):
after every drink, which just adds like a ton of
sort of extra labor and work on the bartenders, totally
annoying it. Like, you know, it's less efficient all the things.
But one bartender who was interviewed said, every generation has
its quirk and.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I was like, what, what's my quirk?
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I have no quirks, So tell me what you think
your generation's quirk is. Call Fox Across America eight eight
eight seven eight eight nine to nine one zero.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
I'll be taking your calls.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
We'll stack them, and then let's get a consensus going
about who which generation is the worst.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I know it's not X.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
We have lots coming up in the next couple hours, guys,
a few surprise guests, exciting guests, a ton of Fox favorites,
and ton of amazing patriotic Americans on Fox Across America.
So as we get into Independence Day week, guys, it's
an incredible show ahead.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
I am here with all of you.
Speaker 4 (00:31):

have a huge lineup of incredible guests are here today
to speak to exactly what's on your mind and what.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
You care about.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Okay, on to some very important things and let's start
with one of our very important guests, which is Oklahoma
Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, former MMA fighter, Senate Committee
on Armed Services Member, Senate Committee on Environment and Public
Works Member, Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Member, Senator.
(01:24):
Good morning, and thank you for joining Fox across America.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
What's going on, Emily Well, Senator.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
You tell us so A lot is happening, obviously with
a big, beautiful bill, and we know that you're a
huge proponent of it. We're grateful for your advocacy and
for being clear with specifics about why you.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Support this bill.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
And I wanted to talk about for listeners right now
what would happen if it doesn't pass, because I think
that's important to know. And yeah, no, please go ahead,
go ahead.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Well, first of all, we gotta we gotta rag on
Jimmy for this a little bit. I mean, how does
the how does how do you how does the host
go on vacation during the Super Bowl? I mean, this
is this is big. I mean, this is.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
This is the week.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
We're delivering on President Trump's agenda. We're making its tax
cuts permanent. You know, we're secure in the border, we're
propping up our military, we're becoming energy into pendant, and
Jimmy just thinks it's a great time to go on vacation.
I mean, what type of leader is that?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Well, good thing, he's.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Not in the oval office, right, so it's okay for
him to take a short break.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
But obviously you're.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Covering the helm and I'm just slowly worm filling in
right now.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
What he did, what he knew is he wasn't able
to actually live up to this week's high volume of listeners,
and so he wanted to bat out and put somebody
that can actually handle it, like yourself, in the chair.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
So we I get it.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
I mean I respect that everybody's got no other limitations.
But let's try about what happens with the bill if
if it doesn't pass. So this is it's the irony
of this is actually going to be shocking, I think.
So right now you're hearing there's a lot of talk
about this bill ads three point three trillion dollars in
deficit spending, right, you've heard that before. And the sneaky
(03:16):
attack is that will happen if we actually don't pass
the bill. Because right now we're we're working every current
what we call current policy. That's the that's the tax
policies at President Trump passed in twenty eighteen and signing law.
If we if we allow this, if we allow this
(03:37):
bill not to pass and we can't get the agreement
on making the taxes permanent, what ends up happening is
we have a four trillion dollar actual surplus in taxes
coming back to Washington, d c. So what the Democrats
are saying is is we'll just let it expire. Then
(03:58):
we're actually going to have new revenue. But you're going
to not let it expire. That's actually going to be
a deficit to the treasurer. But if you actually look
at the CBO score, there's two CBO scores out here.
One is the Democrats pretending asking the CBO to pretend
like if the taxes expired and we went back to
(04:19):
high taxes for everybody and it costs every taxpayer in
America more money. The CEBO says, well, we'll have a
four trillion dollar surplus if you do that, And so
our ask was is like, no, you can't do that.
The taxes haven't expired. We're seeing the taxes make them permanent.
So what happens if we don't, if we don't let
(04:39):
the taxes expire and we make them permanent, well you
go from a three point three trillion dollar deficit to
actually a five hundred and seven billion dollar surplus, which
is what which is exactly what happened when President Trump
is in office in twenty eighteen, the CBO said we're
going to have one hundred and a fifty billion dollar
(05:02):
deficit and reduced taxes. And what's happened is the Treasurer
actually in a year and a half saw a one
hundred and fifty dollars surplus because why the American people
took the money, invested it in their own backyard, invested
it in their businesses, hired new more people, bought more stuff,
(05:22):
and we saw a surplus in and just income taxes
coming to to washing DC. So it's very disingenuine what
the Democrats are saying out there.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Can I ask you, Senator, because to that point, if
it doesn't pass, it's my understanding that you know a
family for they would see a seventeen hundred dollars a
year tax increase on average child tax credit, cutting half
for forty million families, twenty six million small businesses would
experience like a major tax increase in additionally, right, and
(05:54):
so please, I know you don't speak for other senators,
but for those of US Americans that are confused by
the two that didn't support this bill, can you explain
sort of what is the issue? Because while I understand
perhaps no bill is perfect, it doesn't seem that voting
no on this and not letting this move forward was
the right decision, given that this is what we have
in front of us, and there is so many positive
(06:15):
benefits and so many frightening downsides if it doesn't pass.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Well, Emily, you actually phrase that perfect. So there's two
separate issues on this one. Rand Paul who voted no,
he ran is I don't know how to say Rand
is ran. He's a very passionate guy, extremely smart, but
he makes his decisions in different directions. His whole thing
is is that we shouldn't be adding the debt limit
(06:39):
increase into this. And here's the problem with that. We're
going to have to raise the debt limit because President
Trump inherited a very very bad economy and an inflated
budget that was that literally every government program in the
last four years undereath the Biden administration either increased between
fifty and one hundred percent their budget just completely inflated
(07:01):
their numbers. Well, because that we've overspent. This is like
buying a selling company that you're going to restore, but
you've got to go get a bank loan. So you
go out there and you say, hey, I know this
company is in the red. We have a plan to
get it in the black. I need you to loan
the money. And this is what we're going to do,
and the banker looks at it goes, yeah, this is
a good idea. I'll loan the money. That's what we've
(07:23):
got to do here. We've got to loan the money
to allow President Trump's economy and President Trump's plan for
America to actually come together. And what that does is
that's us cutting our deficit, which we're cutting our deficits
spending by one point six trained dollars, the largest deficit
reduction in any Congress in history of the United States.
(07:44):
And then we're also increasing the economy because we're making
the tax us permanent, We're putting in policies for energy independence,
we're bringing down inflation with the One Big Beautiful Bill,
And so you're going to see the GDP, which we've
already seen it increase. We're going to continue to increase
or see inflation go down. And at some time those
(08:04):
two charts, by our deficit reduction and the increase in
the economy, they touch and we could have a balanced
budget for the first time in ninety six, in two
and a half years. So Ran is saying that he
doesn't want to borrow money, We're going to have to
borrow the money. So we have two choices in this one.
We borrow the money now on this bill, and we
just have to negotiate among Republicans. Because it's reconciliation. We
(08:27):
can do this with a simple majority of fifty one.
If we don't do it on reconciliation, we have to
pass it with sixty, which means we're going to have
to negotiate with the Democrats. What President Trump has been
saying is like, no, we can't. If I have to
negotiate with the Democrats on the debt, on the debt increase,
I'm going to have to give the keys away to
the White House. They're going to literally Chuck Schumer's going
(08:49):
to hold President Trump's hostage over it. Because we can't
deliver it by ourselves because we don't have fifty four votes,
so this is the time to do it. Ran just
can't get over himself on that one. So he's voting no,
which is an easy way for him to say no,
it's it's just not practical. Uh, what's the what Tom
tillis his issue is with us cutting the fraud and
(09:10):
waste out of I want to say it's really his
issue with cutting the front waist. His issue is is
we're cutting out the the gaming system, which is part
of the fraud and waste that the that states do.
And North Carolina is taking advantage of the American taxpayer
by having high reimburshment rates and uh. And basically what
(09:33):
they do is it's called a provider tax. They charge
the provider a high tax to cover the states share
of the match that they're on medicaid. And so when
we're when we have medicaid for the states, the federal
government pays back the states a certain percentage, but the
state's supposed to pay a percentage. What that what North Carolina,
(09:54):
these high uh, these these high provider tax states do
is that they provide they put high tax to the
provider and it's unfair because it makes the reimbursement from
the federal government even higher. And what this, what we're
doing with medicaid, is saying you can't do that. Everybody's
got to be on the same playing field. And if
you're taking advantage because Obamacare allowed them to do that,
(10:15):
if you're taking advantage of it, we're going to scale
you down to what the national average is for most
red states which aren't taking advantage of it because of Obamacare.
We're going to bring your average down from twenty twenty
five to twenty thirty two. So you have seven years
to get your house in order to bring this back
down to where it should be so we can quit
(10:37):
inflating our numbers and causing the taxpayers literally billions of
dollars every month for reimbursement. And he because of this,
North Carolina is going to over seven years, is going
to have to become more physical responsible for themselves. And
he's fighting for a statement. So that's his big issue.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Senator Mark Wayne Mullen is standing by guys, we're going
to take a short break. We're going to come back
and talk about some more with him.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
You're listening to fuck across America across America.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
It's your guest host Emily Compagno in for Jimmy Fayla,
and rejoining us now is Senator Mark Wayne Mullen.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And we just talked about the big Beautiful Bill. We
got learned a lot and.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Got a lot of information from the Senator, and now
we're going to talk about two very important additional topics.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I don't know your.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Position on this, actually, so I'm curious which way, but
it was the sale of the proposed sale of millions
of acres of public land. Can you explain the pros
or con? I mean, we know the cons, but is
there any pros to this? And for many of us
that I know that, it's been about ten years in
the making and it's been something that's been proffered for
(11:45):
quite some time now, but many people, from conservationists and
hunters and so many of us across America, for varied reasons,
find that very frightening. But is there something that we're
missing here and could that actually pass?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Thank Emily, you're much better hosts than Jimmy because you
actually talked substance here. I'm going to let me yes, Actually,
there is a pros and cons of this the cons
is really the messaging got away from us, and I
am I'm a hunter. My first deer I ever killed
with the BOA was fourteen years old and it was
(12:20):
a meal deer on public land in Colorado, and so
I've hunted public lan. Of course we have a ranch
a hunt on most of the time. But I get
people's concerns on this one, and that wasn't Mike Lee's
perspective on this. The messaging got away from us because
the timing. I always tell people policy may be right,
but the timings can always be wrong. The policy was
(12:43):
needed to be reworked a little bit, and before it
was reworked, it kind of got out of hand. It
was reworked multiple times. It's not in the bill now
it's gone. But Mike Lee's whole purpose was he was like, look,
seventy percent of Utah is owned by the federal government,
and what we're saying is if it's five miles outside
(13:05):
of the city limits, which especially because cities there get choked,
that's what's causing high prices and high land prices and
high rent and cost of housing is because they can't
grow anymore. He's saying, if they're not being used for
controversial controvationist purposes. They're not a hunting lease if it's
not a national park, and it's just setting there wasteful land,
(13:26):
why can't the state have the right to buy the
land back? And there's the other and which isn't it's
kind of hard to argue that. I mean, it's really
going to fight in Oklahoma. But in the state, like
we're seventy percent of the state is owned by the
federal government. It prevents you from being able to grow
the other side of this is it's extremely extremely hard,
especially when you have a woke anti fossil fuel administration
(13:52):
like we had under Eath Obama and like we had
with Biden. It's extremely difficult to develop public land for
the resources that are underneath it. And we have more
resources meaning from rare earth minerals to fossil fuels being
oil and gas and other mining that's that's extremely important
(14:12):
to that we're having to ship in from China in
public lands that we can't get to. We can. We
have more reserves in China and Saudi Arabia and on
our public lands, and we can't develop it because it's
almost impossible because from one administration. The next if we
were to put this in private property, we could still
do that. We could get the resources we have, We
(14:33):
could we could avoid some of the controvationist issues that
continue to sue and settle, which causes problems. We could
still keep the land looking prying for for the United
States and for future generations, at the same time not
make us dependent on China and uh. And it's just
an easier process at that point. But so there's pros
(14:57):
to this and there's cons because cons is like, once
you say that, you can never get it back, and
I understand that it needs to be reworked. And as
we said, maybe it should be specific specifically to Utah
since other states didn't want this and Michael is going
to come back. But if you could, if you can
imagine for a second, if we could keep their royalties
for the land that the United States already owns, and
(15:19):
we're able to develop it in a very controvationist way
but still limit our dependency on foreign countries because we
have the resources here. It makes us our national security better.
And at the same time, we could use that money
to pay down the national debt, which could be the
only way we could ever pay down the debt and
the un art you in mind's lifetime.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Senator, thank you for bringing clarity to something that I
confess I didn't look enough into to appreciate those nuances.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
And I feel a lot better about it.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
But I agree that this wasn't the correct vehicle clearly,
because it needs to be a little more clearer, I think,
to the rest of America and what and when it
is state specific so that we don't go running around
with our hair on fire. And then the final question
for you, sir, and the most important is how's your
wife Christy And how's her car collection doing? And how's
(16:11):
the it's all about the girls rally, because you know,
we have to end on that note that I love
the most, and I hope she's doing well behind the wheel.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
She's actually right here beside me, and she gave me
a vehicle the other day that she wanted to buy
another car, and I was like, hey, babe, let's all
let's sell one before we buy one, because you know,
she's a huge Shelby fan and she's actually wanting to
look at getting a Shelby truck. So now she's trying
to convince me to buy a Shelby truck, and I
was like, don't don't do that to me. You know
(16:39):
you want the truck for yourself, not me. So's she's
still working her magic, but she's doing wonderful. Still loves me.
She came up here because it's been a for all weekend.
She's started to go home with the girls here on
a flight here later this afternoon. So I'll be kind
of sad, but she blessed me this weekend by coming
up and saying hello and spend some time with me.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I love that, and I love for cars.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
And you might find on Christmas Day a Shelby truck
out in front with a big red row because red,
big red boat. Because you know the best way, the
best way to get what you want is to give.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
It as a gift to your spouse. I know my
husband and I enjoyed doing. But you might get tools
that might stop you the Christmas time.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
I'll take a picture, yes.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
All, I'll look forward to that. Well, both of you,
God bless you stay safe behind the wheel. And Senator,
thank you for doing the Lord's work and for doing
America's work up there on the Senate. It's really gratifying
to have such earnest and high caliber individuals there representing us,
and we are grateful for it.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Sir, Thank you, well, thank you, have a good day.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
What an incredible conversation with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. He
really knows his stuff and he's always such a great
resource when I need to be educated on what exactly
is going on in the hill and what exactly might
be up for policy. So, guys, thank you for listening
to that incredible conversation with a senator, and we will
be right back with more Fox Across America. So America,
(18:03):
I'm your guest host Emily Campano, filling in for the
great Jimmy Fayla. And now we have the even greater
Lara Trump, host of the new Fox News show My
View and former co chair of the Republican National Committee
and my favorite title of hers my friend Laura. Welcome
back to Fox Across America.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Hey girl, Hey, so good to be on with you.
I love you guys hosting Jimmy better watch it.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
No, all we've been doing is like talking bad about
him behind his back.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
He's not going to ever let me come back.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
He knows we all know what we love them.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
So Lara, let's just open with this.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
There are rumors that you are seriously or strongly considering
running for the now open Senate seat in the future
that Senator Tom Tillis will not be seeking reelection for
Insiders say, your odds are as high as one could
be considering it. You have early name recognition among GEOP
voters and certainly huge backing and support across the country.
(19:03):
So I wanted to give you the opportunity now to
share any thoughts on whether, indeed you are considering a
run for a US Senate seat in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Well, Emily, you know a lot of people probably remember
I've considered kind of running for or filling a Senate seat. Now.
This would be the third time. The first time was
actually during the mid terms and twenty two Ted Budd
ultimately ran for the GOP and won that Senate seat
there in North Carolina, and then obviously Marco Rubio in
bord of vacating his Senate seat to become our incredible
(19:35):
Secretary of State. The timing of both of those didn't
really work out for me, and to be fully transparent, I.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Would love to do it.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
This is all kind of fresh within the past twenty
four hours for me really learning that this was a
viable option and that Senator tell.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Us would be you know, you know, wouldn't be seeking reelection.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
So look, I'm considering it. I think that one thing
that I think all of us in the Trump family
have learned is that it is so incredible to be
able to impact the lives of people across this country.
No one knows that more so than my father in law.
And North Carolina is my home state. It's where I
was born and raised. It made me the person I
am today, and obviously I have had a lot of
(20:12):
things to look into with it, but yeah, I mean
it is something that if it works out and the
timing works and it works out for my family, it
is absolutely something that I would consider doing well.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Laura, you know I support everything that you do, and
literally during commercial break, I was like, oh my gosh,
that would be the most incredible thing. But most importantly,
I'll be praying for your decision and just hearing you along.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
The way every step of the way.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
So let's get to your incredible show which I watch
every Saturday, my view on Fox News, and this Saturday,
in particular, I thought was an incredible interview that you
had an incredible show with Todd and Julie Chris Lee,
and I'm hoping that you can share a bit about
what you learned during those interviews about their time in
prison and about their pardon and their life after.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Well.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
It was amazing and I was so honored because Emily,
they gave me their very first exclusive interview after the pardon,
after leaving prison, and what an honor to be able
to sit down with them. You know, they're a family
who I think a lot of people who tuned into
their show, Chris we knows best got to know over
the course of you know.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
The past decade.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
And then they felt like, and they made this very
clear during their time on trial, that they were targeted.
They were targeted because of their fame, and they were
targeted because of their political views they feel, and there
were so many questions, you know, that came up during
the course of their trial, and I'm sure that went
into the decision of pardons are Alice Murray Johnson, and
of course President Trump to issue them ultimately this pardon.
(21:36):
They truly were given very harsh sentences for their convictions,
but I thought the most incredible part for both of
them was the way. They said prison changed them. They said,
you know that coming out of prison, they realized how
lucky they are.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
They are so grateful to God.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
They're so grateful to President Trump, of course, but they
also learned, you know, kind of the flaws of our
prison system and the huge prison reform advocates, and they
consider the people they were in prison with. They're brothers
and sisters. And they both said, look, we did not
leave them behind. We're not just out on the other
side and going to go back to living our lives
the same way. We really want to see movement happen
(22:13):
in this space, and they're so dedicated to it. I
thought it was amazing to hear how it had touched
both of them, And then I thought it was so
crazy because for two years, Emily, they didn't have any contacts.
When you and your spouse are incarcerated, you have no
ability to talk to one another.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And I was so curious, you know, how would it be.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
You know, my husband and I've been together now for
almost seventeen years, and I think about two years apart
from him. How would that change us? They said, we
didn't miss a beat. It was like not a second past.
We were in each other's hearts the entire time, and
you can truly feel the love between this family. Again,
I thought it was so incredible to see them all
together and that they gave me the opportunity to initially
(22:51):
sit down with them. But again, they're grateful to God,
They're grateful to President Trump, and I think on the
other side of this, they really want to.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Use their position for good.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
And I'm going to be paying attention, I think we
all will to see how they help them go for
them and what they ultimately end up doing.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It was very cool.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
You and I have talked about prison reform and about
the situation with a Bureau of Prisons, and obviously state
prisons are different. But what did you learn from them,
What things that either either struck you or what things
that they're going to be focusing on. Because I feel
like the events of the last few years, you know,
prior to COVID, the riots and the handling of that,
(23:29):
and then the absolute ruin of many of our American cities,
great American cities that are now sort of fall into
disarray under Democrat and radical leadership. What I felt personally
was that all of the steps of criminal justice reform
that your father in law was able to accomplish during
his first term term unfortunately fell to public disfavor because
(23:49):
there was such a horrific pendulum screen swing the other direction,
and I felt like we lost a lot of the
strides that we made the common sense reform, and that
many people don't know meat is done fit for human consumption,
or that spouses can't talk to each other, that you
can't visit your loved ones in prison often, and there's
just there's so many things. So I know that was
a lot, But is there anything that stuck out to
(24:11):
you in terms of their commitment, specifically that you are
looking forward to learning more from by them.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Well, And I think Savannah talked about it too with me.
She talked about it.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
I interviewed her about a month ago from my view,
and she talked about the fact that.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
The First Step Act, which of course was this historic.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Prison reform, you know, the most comprehensive prison reform in
decades that President Trump got passed during his first term
in office, was not being properly implemented. And I think
to your point, the past four years weren't great for it.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You know, no one.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Really did what was supposed to be done via these prisoners,
and they talked about Todd and Julie both talked about
inmates who you know, had served their time, had served
their debt to society, who were first time, non violent offenders,
who got these egregious sentences, and you.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Know, the first step Aact is supposed to you address that.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
And if you serve your time and you are a
model inmate and you do the right things, then you
are you know, and you're not a threat to society,
then we ought to give you another chance. That they said,
the first step back has not been implemented the way
that President Trump wants it to be, and the Second
Chance Act the same thing.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
So I think those are things.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
That look obviously, this president in the first six months
has done so much. He's had a lot on his plate.
He's had a lot of major world issues to tackle.
But I know how much that meant to him its
first term in office, to address the prison reform, to
get these really important, you know, to changes made to
a prison system. And I think that this is something
(25:43):
he's really going to want to pay attention to and
ensure is actually being done the proper way. We have
a new director of the Bureau of Prisons that he
appoints it, and I know that that's also something that
he wants to pay close attention to. So hopefully with
the spotlight that Todd and Juli are able to put
on it, hopefully, with President Trump back in the White
House and a new director of the Federal Bureau of
Prison hopefully we see some movement in that space. But
(26:05):
they were both very adamant. You know about the First
Step Act and the Second Chance Act.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
You are so right, and there are estimates of dozens
of thousands of prisoners that are over eligible for release
under that First Step Act, and you're right, it wasn't
implemented to the best way. So this is it's exciting
for me to know that there are more high profile
advocates out there, and of course that the President is
back in office so that he can ensure with a
new BOP director, that we can ensure that his wishes,
(26:34):
which are the public's wishes, are actually carried out and
that families, ultimately families can be restored back together and
criminal justice reform obtained. So moving on to this, Laura,
I know you have an incredible.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Okay, so you and I love to work out.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
You are my goals in many ways, but you're such
a great inspiration to me and champion for me when
I'm like, I don't feel like it, the last thing
I want to do is go to the gym.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
I really appreciate your encouragement and in that realm.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
And you have this incredible athletic wear line, the LT Collection,
So talk to us about that because I love it
and it's so gorgeous, super comfortable, super amazing.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
So anyone that loves working out or is looking for.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Gifts for people that love the gym and love working
out and went to like amazing in it, then please
go to the LT Collection.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
So tell us more.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Oh thank Sivilly.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Well, listen, I think we all need a little boost
from time to time, we all need a little insfo
and so we can all kind of help each other
out in that space. And look, we're on a Maha trajectory, right.
We want to make America healthy again. I think people
are starting right now to pay attention maybe in a
way we never really have as a country to our
health and to what we're putting in our bodies and
moving our bodies more and doing the right thing. So
(27:45):
that we don't need to turn to pharmaceuticals so that
our bodies stay healthy.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Longer, just on their own.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
And so part of that, of course is working out.
And it's been a huge part of my entire life.
And it's funny because so many people for so long
said to me, you should have a fitness clothing line,
but I didn't really know exactly how to go about it.
I found a great partner who's worked with me, and
everything is made in the USA. That was very important
to me with this collection. If anyone's interested, Laura Trump
(28:12):
dot com is the website you can go to. But
it's all supposed to make you feel good, help you
look good, get in the gym, inspire you, and you know,
as a busy mom, I think there's so many of
us out there who want to look cute while we're
dropping the kids off at school. Maybe we need to
go run some errands before we hit the gym. Whatever
it is, you can use these clothes for all those things.
(28:34):
They are very versatile. You can look at doing all
the things you need to do in a day. And
I've been really excited to undertake this. It's a big,
big thing to do to put your name on a
clothing line, and I wanted it to be great if
I put my name on it, and I think it
is great. And in fact, my daughter the other day
was saying, can you make kids clothes because I want
to match you, mom, So no, Onmily, I think I'm
(28:54):
going to have to do a kid's line with this
with my LT collection too, so stay tuned, could be
coming soon.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
I've noticed lately that there are a ton of mom
and me like options for where I shop, and I'm like,
oh my gosh, I love that.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
So it's it's so on trend and on point. And
then to be inclusive of the like of course you
have to do it's amazing. I could personally.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Attest that, like if you if you feel good, then
you are more inspired to work out or give it.
You're all in And some may scoff at that, but
it actually does make a difference. It really really does.
To feel confident, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
That's right. We gotta look good because as the rest.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Of us are all sweaty and gross, we know that
we look amazing in the LT collection. So and then
I wanted to take this opportunity to talk with you
about Big Dog Ranch Rescue.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Dogs are close to your heart.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
They're so close to mine, and this nonprofit in particular
is really impactful, and I know you love them, so
can you share a little bit more about them?
Speaker 6 (29:49):
Yeah? So, Big Dog Ranch Rescue is the largest cage free,
no killed dog shelter in the entire country. They are
based out of South Florida, and they go anywhere and
everywhere around world. They literally when the Ukraine Russia situation happened, initially,
they sent an entire team to Poland to make sure
that animals there were rescued. They've gone to China to
(30:10):
rescue dogs because of the China dog meat trade. Anywhere
there's a natural disaster in this country, Big Dog Ranch
shows up there. And something people probably haven't paid a
lot of attention to, but if I guess not surprising
is that our southern border has actually been a horrific
spot for dumped dogs over the past four years because
a lot of people would, either for protection or because
(30:31):
they were family dogs, bring their animals with them when
they would come up through the Southern border illegally, and
then they would get to, you know, across the border
and they would either be put on airplanes as we
all know, or buses, and they weren't able to bring
these animals because the animals were just dumped there. Big
Dog Ranch has gone their time and time again, rescued
hundreds of dogs from the Southern border.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
But they're so great at what they do. And I'm just.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Such an animal advocate and a rescue advocate, you know.
I think a dog who's rescued knows that you saved them.
And the beauty of rescuing a dog, I think is
that you're not just saving one life, You're really saving
two because you're saving that dog's life and then you're
opening up a space and a shelter for another animal
to go in there. They know for the rest of
their life that you save them. They're eternally grateful. And
(31:15):
you know, I have a house full of dogs. My
husband soon is probably going to cut me off, but Emily,
as long as I can, I'm going to keep pushing
the envelope and keep bringing these fosters home. And then
he falls in love with them, is how it goes,
and then he's like, we can't let them go. There's
a strategy and a method to my madness. But a
dog Ranch Rescue dot org is their website again.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
There.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
They're fantastic, get what they do, and I'm so honored
that they allow me to help them raise money because
it is such.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
A it's such a cause, a cause.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
That's so close to my heart, and I feel like
my entire life I've advocated for these animals and we're
now making a lot of great progress. So if anyone's
looking for a family friend, I would always say, consider rescue, adopt.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Don't shop.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
I love that, and I love that you're just building
your packet home one pop at a time.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
From me foster to you adopt. You're like, there's.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
There's so much done with this, but it's his fault.
Every time we have a foster, he's like, we can't
send this one back. So I'm just going to keep
bringing the foster home and we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Lets theric.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Trump's hard, as we say in the South.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
That's right, And I love you guys all have so
many beagles. And you and I were talking before and
you were like, somehow like you just became people like
brought beagles to you, which is so sweet because I
feel like it's like they found you you know.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
You have them.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Well, it's true, and you know beagles are actually they
have such a great temperament. They are the animals that
are the number one tested on dogs anywhere in the world.
When you have the animal testing, they typically are the
ones they use because they have such a great and
gentle disposition. And I will also say that, thanks to
Doge and President Trump, we have shut down so many
animal testing labs that the federal government was funding over
(32:50):
the course of the past six months.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I don't even I think.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
There's maybe a small handful left, and I believe those
will be closed before too long. So something else to
love about this president. Maybe he doesn't talk about it
all the time, but he is there for the dogs
and the animals as well.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
And if he.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
Ever forgets, who's got a daughter in law who's making
sure that he does.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
So I can promise you.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
That I love that so much. I love Laura, how
real you are.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
You are. It's like it's like having your bestie in
such a position to that point, with such a big
voice and such a big platform, promoting these causes that
we all care about, and it's so deeply refreshing and
gratifying and I'm just cheering you on every.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Step of the day, every step of the way, in everything.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
So thank you so much for joining Fox Across America.
And I can't wait to see you on the Outnumbered
couch hopefully soon. And until then, I'll be rocking LT
Collection gear at the gym, totally dying but loving every
minute of it because I know I look good.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Yeah, you do? You do?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
You? Key? I know you're going to be in the gym.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
We'll see you there. We'll see on the odd number couch,
my friends.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
All right, my dear talk soon. All right, guys.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
That was the amazing Laura Trump talking to us about
a potential Senate run, Huge news, and also really important
things like criminal justice reform, her interview with the Chrizlies
on My View with Laura Trump on Fox News, Big
Dog Ranch Rescue, and so much more.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Thanks for listening.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Here's a break the show that even stupid people can
listen to.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
That Welcome back to Fox Across America.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Emily Campanno filling in for the great Jimmy Fayla, and
we are ending in our first hour together.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
We're already a third over. I'm so sad.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
This was an incredible hour Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. We
talked about the big Beautiful Bill. We talked about the
sale of public lands, what.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
That's all about.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
We talked a little bit about muscle cars, you know,
my favorite topic. And then we had the great Laura
Trump on and we talked about criminal justice reform. We
talked about the interview she had with the Chrizlies on
My View with Laura Trump, we talked about Big Dog
Ranch Rescue, Adopt, Don't Shop, and we talked about her
amazing fitness line lt collection, and most importantly with that,
(34:54):
we talked about her teasing potentially a Senate run for
North Carolina. So all good stuff, all excite stuff. And
what I want to know from you guys is what
do you do at a bar when you are ordering
a drink that you think might annoy the bartender? And
here's why I'm asking that, because apparently gen Z has
this quirk where they pay and close out their tab
(35:17):
after every drink, which just adds like a ton of
sort of extra labor and work on the bartenders, totally
annoying it. Like, you know, it's less efficient all the things.
But one bartender who was interviewed said, every generation has
its quirk and.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I was like, what, what's my quirk?
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I have no quirks, So tell me what you think
your generation's quirk is. Call Fox Across America eight eight
eight seven eight eight nine to nine one zero.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
I'll be taking your calls.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
We'll stack them, and then let's get a consensus going
about who which generation is the worst.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I know it's not X.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
We have lots coming up in the next couple hours, guys,
a few surprise guests, exciting guests, a ton of Fox favorites,
and ton of amazing patriotic Americans on Fox Across America.
So as we get into Independence Day week, guys, it's
an incredible show ahead.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Thanks for joining. This has been a podcast from w
