Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's go back to the hotline and bring in our
White House correspondent John Dekker. Now, so, John, or some
of your top takeaways from President Trump's addressed in the
Nation last night.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, he's stuck to the prompter. He delivered that speech,
I think you would agree, Ryan, in rapid, rapid fireface.
And in addition to that, the President said a lot
of the things that you know, I think his advisors
want him to talk about, which is focusing on the economy.
He took credit where he took should take credit, and
(00:31):
that's where the issue of border security is. Right now.
The President's achieved so many of his goals on that front.
But you know, at some point, you know, and I
think it's up to every voter, every American as to
what that point is. At some point, the president owns
the economy. So you can, you know, blame your predecessor,
(00:51):
but the president, for good or bet owns this economy.
And in twenty twenty six, Joe Biden is far in
the rear of your mirror. You can't just continue to
focus on Joe Biden. You have to look forward and
figure out how are you going to turn the economy around.
This is the economy that is yours, and you know
you still control both the House and the Senate to
do something about it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
That's exactly right. I think the first year you could say, look,
there was a lot that was wrong, and I'm working
on fixing all that stuff. But in year two, once
your policies are in place, you've got control of Congress
and the White House, then I think going into the
twenty twenty six mid terms is going to be a
referendum on how the President and Republicans have done with
the economy. There was no major announcement on Venezuela, which
(01:34):
was interesting. A lot of people thought that would come
up in the address, but it did not.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No, it didn't, you know, I for me, you know,
that's not a major top issue for most Americans. For
most Americans, it's the economy, it's affordability, it's the cost
of living. So the fact that the President focused on
that I think was a smart thing to do for
the majority of this speech, and of course there was
one big policynouncement, those Warrior dividend checks going out to
(02:03):
every American service member, not to all Americans, you know,
but to everyone in uniform who serves our country. That's potentially,
you know, if it goes through, a good thing, a
good thing for all of those service bolders. And that's
based upon the tariff revenue that's come into the US treasury.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
So what's the plan for the president moving forward? He
delivered this address, Things are wrapping up in DC this week.
Doesn't look like a whole lot else is going to
get done. What's his plan as things kind of slow
down a little bit here, Usually they don't slow down
for Trump.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
No, they don't. You know, this has been a really
busy week. You think about this week, the week before Christmas,
It's been every day some sort of news that has
the President and his team have dealt with, some good,
some get bad. The President on Friday, before he heads
down to Florida, will do a stop in another battleground state.
(03:01):
He'll be in North Carolina, Rocky Mount, North Carolina, doing
an event very similar to the event that he did
last week in the Poconos. And he'll be doing more
of those types of events likely to those key battleground
states leading up to the midterm elections in twenty twenty six.
But as for what's on the President's agenda, that isn't clear.
(03:21):
You know, it's not exactly clear what the President and
Republicans want to do in this midterm election year to
show that they are doing something on behalf of the
American public as it relates to improving the US economy.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
All right, our White House correspondent John Decker with us
this morning. John, really appreciate it. We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Thank you, Ryan, byebye. All right again.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You can catch more of John on the White House
Briefing Room podcast, which you can find on your iHeartRadio app.
Five days after the mass shooting at Brown University, the
manhunt for the shooter continues and police are looking to
speak to someone new. Yesterday, law enforcement and Providence, Rhode
Island released new images person they're trying to identify. All
(04:02):
we knows that that person was in the vicinity of
the subject that we have an interwest on and we
want to speak with them. So authorities say this person
was near the shooter shortly before the attack and may
have crossed paths with him. FBI video shows the shooter
walking through a Providence neighborhood less than two hours before
the shooting. Looks like he's kind of casing the area outs.
(04:22):
I mean that's what I kind of gathered from those
those videos and images of the alleged shooter. In that footage,
the shooter appears to notice the backpack carrying person and
suddenly runs down a side street. Seconds later, the other
person turns and runs in the same direction. Now we
have a clear shot, pretty clear shot of this person.
(04:43):
I gotta say, there's there's a big debate over whether
there were enough cameras in the area and all of that.
I mean, I think the university has like twelve hundred
cameras on campus. That area there are fewer of them,
But you're also talking about, you know, the minute you
step off of cam here in a neighborhood, so.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
That residential neighborhood, right.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
But I mean, like, how many cameras do we want?
And honestly, a lot of the cameras that we apparently
have it's like a shot a bigfoot back in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
But the quality is not that good.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I don't understand. So we have this image of this person.
I can't tell if it's a man or a woman.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yeah, you can kind of see the face, but it's
greeny because it's zoomed in. And in one picture I
think it looks like a guy. But then there's another
picture that I'm like, wait, is that a woman or
a man?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Did you probably tell probably enough for someone to recognize that,
or for that person to recognize it. Hey, that's me.
So in terms of whether or not they have any information, again,
the suspected shooter was wearing a mask, a beanie. There's
only so much I would think you would make out.
And also at that time, that person didn't know that
(05:52):
that was eventually going to be uh, yes.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
It was just somebody that just happened to be walking by.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I mean, do you remember what people look like that
you want by on the street or in a story
like you just don't remember?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So five days later it sounds like they're grasping its
straws here. But we also had the same situation with
Luigi Manngioni, Yeah, where it didn't seem like that was
going anywhere and.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Then all of a sudden sudden he shows up at
McDonald's and they arrest him.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, and it was the eyebrows that got him in. In
this case, I'm telling you it's going to be the
mannerisms and the walk from this guy. It's going to
end up getting in. So House Republicans passed a healthcare
bill TROM sixteen to two eleven yesterday. This bill doesn't
extend the Enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies. It does some
stuff like expanding association health plans, some transparency rules for
(06:38):
pharmacy benefit. The bottom line with this bill's not going anywhere.
It's not going to pass in the Senate. So that's it.
They pass it in the House, not going to go
anywhere in the Senate. Then you've got a group of
centrist House Republicans. They joined with Democrats to force a
vote on extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies that is
going to come up for a vote early January. What
(06:58):
I'm amazed by watching all of this unfold two things.
Democrats are freaking out about the end of these subsidies. Well,
they put an end to them when they passed them
a few years ago during the pandemic. So this is
a big surprise, right And for Republicans, you've had fifteen
freaking years to come up with an alternative to Obamacare.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
What is going on and this was.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
The best they could come up with. Is something that's
not going to go. So what a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
They still can't agree on it. Like what, it's amazing
to watch DC. So today is the last day the
House is in session. They probably holiday, that's right. Dan
Bongino announced he's going to leave his job as FBI
and Deputy Director in January after less than a year
in the role. President Trump said earlier in the day
(07:49):
yesterday that Bongino wants to go back to a show,
which Bongino later confirmed in a public statement. Bongino thanked Trump,
Attorney General Pambondi and FBI Director Cash Hotel, saying an
honor to serve.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So earlier in the day at like one o'clock, Bongino
told ms NOW, when asked for his comment on the
story they were running, that he was leaving his position
in January. Print whatever you'd like, No one believes you anyway,
And then four hours later he posted on x I'll
be leaving my position in January.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
That's pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, So they got the scoop on that he never
seemed to love the gig.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
No and I think with him because I used to
listen to his podcast and hear him talk about all
these things. I wonder if he got in there and
realized that maybe he was wrong about certain things. Maybe
things didn't Yeah, it didn't run the way that he
thought they were going to. Maybe he thought he and
Cash Battel, we're going to be able to do a
lot more than they were able to do. He got frustrated.
The whole Epstein thing, I think pissed him off.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
And it should be interesting to.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
See though, when he goes back to the show. Does
he handle it differently than before or is he just
going to spill the tea on everything going on behind
the scenes.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
That's what I want to hear.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I think he needs to reveal some of the stuff
that he learned and saw that otherwise people are going
to be like, you're holding out on us. You know,
you were there. You were there to see how the
Deep Day works.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Plenty of content right right.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I think the job was more difficult than he thought
it was going to be. And I think, like you said,
there was some stuff that happened with the Epstein files
and some other things that didn't go the way he
thought they were going to go, and that was probably
you know, demoralizing a bit. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I think for people who follow him and listen to him,
they probably thought that they were going to get this
big reveal on all these different things that he had
talked about over time, and then he couldn't deliver on
any of it for one reason or another.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
He does get, I think, a lot of credit for
focusing in on the DC PIPEOM suspect, Yeah, and bringing
that to the forefront and then making an arrest, although
I will say, what the hell happened with that?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
How come?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You know, we have these situations where we get an
arrest like that and then we just don't hear anything
else about it, Like, what is going on with that subject?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Where's the rest of the investigation? What was going on there?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, we got a little bit about the suspect and
what some people said about him, but yeah, no full story.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Let me get to some new details on the Australia
terror attack. Australian police identified Detective Senior Constable Caesar Barraza
as the officer who stopped the Bondai Beach attack. Barraza
fired shots from roughly one hundred and thirty feet away,
using only a handgun, to kill the father and wound
the sun. Law enforcement sources call it a once in
(10:28):
a lifetime shot, saying even elite shooters would struggle from
that distance. He's a sixteen year police veteran and previously
appeared on the Australian reality show Recruits.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Oh wow, yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So he is again the detective who took down the father,
wounded the sun and effectively brought an end to that
awful shooting. A fourteen year old girl is being praised
for shielding two young children during the shooting. The team
was struck by a bullet, but laid over the kids
after their mother others were killed, protecting them from more gunfire.
(11:03):
Just another example of heroism.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
There's so much of it him.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Police say the shooting may have been planned months in advance.
Investigators are focusing on a financial move by the father,
who transferred the family home into his wife's name last year.
His wife is saying that she thought her husband and
son they were going fishing. She didn't know they were
going to commit a horrific terrorist attack. So the property
(11:30):
transfer happened shortly after he was granted a gun license
allowing him to buy those high powered rifles used in
the attack. A former counter terrorism official says the timing
suggests that he expected his assets to be seized or
targeted by lawsuits after the attack, which is why he
moved it all into his wife's name. And police say
(11:52):
the father was granted a gun license even after his
son had been investigated and monitored for possible ISIS links.
And look here with our gun laws, you know you've
got the father, uh and his son was being you know, investigated,
but hadn't been charged with anything to ISIS. Then you
(12:13):
know you're not gonna be able to stop the father
from But in Australia where they got those really really
strict gun laws, just surprising that.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
That that wasn't yeah flagged.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
And then one other thing I want to touch on
real quick. Thirty five year old Jewish man stabbed in
the chest Tuesday afternoon in Brooklyn and what police are
investigating as an anti Semitic a crime, another one of
these right here in the US. The attacker allegedly shouted threats,
including I'm going to kill a Jew today. Moments before
the assault. The victim had left temple was standing near
other Jewish residents when the suspect began yelling anti Semitic slurs.
(12:45):
When the attack occurred, he used his sweater to deflect
the blade which likely saved his life. The stab wound
missed his heart by centimeters.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Oh my gosh. Yeah. The sweater.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The sweater, he just kind of like, if you see
the the video, he grabs his sweater and just kind
of moves just the right way, which ended up saving
his life, but alarming again another attack on a member
of the Jewish community here in the US.
Let's go back to the hotline and bring in our
White House correspondent John Dekker. Now, so, John, or some
of your top takeaways from President Trump's addressed in the
Nation last night.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, he's stuck to the prompter. He delivered that speech,
I think you would agree, Ryan, in rapid, rapid fireface.
And in addition to that, the President said a lot

Speaker 2 (01:39):
No, it didn't, you know, I for me, you know,
that's not a major top issue for most Americans. For
most Americans, it's the economy, it's affordability, it's the cost
of living. So the fact that the President focused on
that I think was a smart thing to do for
the majority of this speech, and of course there was
one big policynouncement, those Warrior dividend checks going out to
(02:03):
every American service member, not to all Americans, you know,
but to everyone in uniform who serves our country. That's potentially,
you know, if it goes through, a good thing, a
good thing for all of those service bolders. And that's
based upon the tariff revenue that's come into the US treasury.

So what's the plan for the president moving forward? He

So he is again the detective who took down the father,
wounded the sun and effectively brought an end to that
awful shooting. A fourteen year old girl is being praised
for shielding two young children during the shooting. The team
was struck by a bullet, but laid over the kids
after their mother others were killed, protecting them from more gunfire.
(11:03):
Just another example of heroism.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
There's so much of it him.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Police say the shooting may have been planned months in advance.
Investigators are focusing on a financial move by the father,
who transferred the family home into his wife's name last year.
His wife is saying that she thought her husband and
son they were going fishing. She didn't know they were
going to commit a horrific terrorist attack. So the property
(11:30):
transfer happened shortly after he was granted a gun license
allowing him to buy those high powered rifles used in
the attack. A former counter terrorism official says the timing
suggests that he expected his assets to be seized or
targeted by lawsuits after the attack, which is why he
moved it all into his wife's name. And police say
(11:52):
the father was granted a gun license even after his
son had been investigated and monitored for possible ISIS links.
And look here with our gun laws, you know you've
got the father, uh and his son was being you know, investigated,
but hadn't been charged with anything to ISIS. Then you
(12:13):
know you're not gonna be able to stop the father
from But in Australia where they got those really really
strict gun laws, just surprising that.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
That that wasn't yeah flagged.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
And then one other thing I want to touch on
real quick. Thirty five year old Jewish man stabbed in
the chest Tuesday afternoon in Brooklyn and what police are
investigating as an anti Semitic a crime, another one of
these right here in the US. The attacker allegedly shouted threats,
including I'm going to kill a Jew today. Moments before
the assault. The victim had left temple was standing near
other Jewish residents when the suspect began yelling anti Semitic slurs.
(12:45):
When the attack occurred, he used his sweater to deflect
the blade which likely saved his life. The stab wound
missed his heart by centimeters.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Oh my gosh. Yeah. The sweater.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The sweater, he just kind of like, if you see
the the video, he grabs his sweater and just kind
of moves just the right way, which ended up saving
his life, but alarming again another attack on a member
of the Jewish community here in the US.
