Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thanks Scott Shannen and our two Sean Hannity
Show tot free. Our number is eight hundred and nine
to four one Sean. If you want to be a
part of the program, the President is expected to speak.
We're not going to probably take the whole thing like
we did last week. Otherwise, like I'll just hand over
the whole show. And we have so much news that
we have to get to and important stuff that is
(00:22):
also out there that we need to report to you.
But boy, what a refreshing change in five weeks. I
think we ought to add up the time that Donald
Trump is spent with the media and doing interviews and
gaggles and versus how much time Joe Biden did in
(00:42):
four years. I'm sure he's catching up very quickly. And
then Joe Biden took a whopping nearly six hundred days vacation,
five hundred and fifty days vacation. Whatever it was was crazy.
But in light of all of these revelations, those already
saving taxpayers to one hundred billion dollars. In my interview
(01:03):
with President Trump and Elon tonight, we go into how
high they think this number will be or Elon, does
you know now they're saving taxpayers of fortune. A Treasury
Department discovery was made by DOGE four point seven trillion
missing a critical tracking code, which they say makes tracing
(01:26):
the transaction almost impossible.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
How is that possible?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Four point seven trillion dollars in payments that they left blank,
making traceability almost impossible. If you go to doze on X,
I mean, this is so incredible. I mean the amount
of money, it's going to be hundreds of billions, if
not higher. And this is you know, see this through
(01:53):
the prism of the average American that makes sixty six
grand a year and the nearly forty in debt and
the two hundred and thirty five billion identified by the
GAO last week that Biden misspent in a year, or
the you know seven hundred and sixty four billion dollars
in COVID relief relief at the Biden administration erroneously paid out.
(02:18):
What do they expect people to give that money back?
You know, four billion dollars in COVID stimulus payments sent
to dead people. They discovered that too. I forgot to
mention that part four point seven trillion just missing a
critical code. We have no idea how they spend the money.
I mean, it's just so so outrageous. It's it's beyond
(02:39):
anything I've ever seen. You know, the millions of instances
where social Security fraud is in the database.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Three, You've you've got literally and this, this, this is
mind numbing. Two that they have discovered that there are
more people on Social Securities eligibility list and there are
actual Americans and in other words, millions more eligible recipients
than living Americans. This is insane. And then you get
(03:10):
deeper into it and you find twenty million Americans listed
on the Social Security eligibility list, over one hundred twenty million,
three point nine million in the range of one hundred
and thirty years old to one hundred and thirty nine
years old, three point five million aged one hundred and
forty to one hundred and forty nine years old. Over
one point three million whose ages range from one hundred
(03:33):
and fifty years old to one hundred and fifty nine
years old. Is even in alive citizen aged over three
hundred and sixty years old.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I'd like to meet this person.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Now, we don't know if they're getting paid yet, we
don't know if their relatives are getting paid and just
getting checks and cashing them. I don't know. I bet,
I bet we're going to find those issues. You know,
we found in twenty twenty three sixty eight billion in
aid to one hundred and seventy six countries, most of
it doing with the Green New Deal, et cetera, the
(04:04):
radicalized Green New Deal and DEI and wokeness and transgenderism
and LGBTQ plus. And then people are saying, well, he's unelected. Well,
there's not a nobody that works for the president for
the most part, is elected. A vice president's elected. This
cabinet is okay, you have advising consent, but it's pretty
(04:25):
much been a walk for every single Trump nominae will
continue to be. But it raises issues about the president's
authority under Article two of our Constitution. Here to weigh
in on that is Greg Jarrett, Because they keep screaming
this is unconstitutional, this is a constitutional crisis. Is it
a constitutional crisis?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Greg Jarrett, No, of course not.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
That's absurd. It's the usual overwrought hysteria. Everything's a crisis,
particularly a constitutional crisis. No, it isn't. There have been
seventy five lawsuits filed against Trump in the four weeks
that you know, he's been in office. That's got to
set a record. What happens is that Democrats reflexively are
(05:15):
against anything that Donald Trump does, and so they go
running in crime to the nearest federal court judge. Oh,
he wants to stop my fraud and abuse my waste.
That's not right. And you know they're on the wrong
(05:37):
side of this because a majority of Americans approve of
what Trump is doing. Seventy percent in a CBS poll
agree that the president is doing exactly what he promised
he was going to do, which is something that politicians
never too. They make all kinds of promises with no
intent of fulfilling them because it sounds good and they
(05:57):
want to get elected. Well, Trump's different, and you know,
he's doing what he said he was going to do.
And the amount of waste and fraud that Dog and
Elon Musk have uncovered is truly shocking to the American
sensibility they have found so far. And I think this
(06:18):
is a low number. The twenty percent of government spending
is wasted. I think it's more like thirty maybe forty percent. Billions,
tens of billions in misplaced funds, Eye popping sums that
are lavished on foreign entities. USAID totally out of control,
(06:41):
thankfully now shut down giving away boat loads of taxpayer
money like free candy, Sesame Street, interacked Dei in Serbia.
The list goes on and on. Billions in waste at
the EPA. Leezelden thankfully is going to call back a
(07:01):
lot of that money. The Pentagon. I hope Pete Pete
hexsept is going to do what he says he's going
to do, cut the waste of the fraud there. So
you know, we got a long way to go here.
But naturally Democrats rushed to the nearest federal courts to
try to stop it, and you know, they're arguing against
(07:23):
themselves in the eyes of the American public.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You know, isn't it amazing that this is now the
hill that they want to die on what will ultimately
be hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars waste, fraud,
abuse and corruption. And I don't want to be redundant
to this audience. This is not fair because I've spent
a lot of time, an inordinate amount of time, informing
(07:48):
them how the money's been spent. I've been scrolling it
on television every night, and it all seems to be
rooted in this left wing whose foundation is the Green
New Deal, DEI, wokeism, transgenderism, LGBTQ plus abroad. This is
(08:11):
not money that is spent on hiring more police officers,
firefighters to make our towns more safe and secure. It's
not money that is being spent to get rid of
gang members, cartel members, murderers, rapists, and known terrorists in
the country. This is not money that is being spent
to improve American schools. This is not money that is
(08:32):
being spent to make America the most energy dominant country
in the world.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I got to take a quick break here, though.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Greg Donald Trump has taken to the podium and he
just introduced somebody. Oh, he's signing executive orders.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
Let's listen to the administration's broader commitment to governmental transparency.
What this presidential memorandum would do is require as waste, fraud,
and abuse is uncovered, as programs are canceled, and ultimately
as taxpayers are saved, this presidential memorandum would require departments
and agencies to make all of the details of that
(09:07):
freely available to the public. Lastly, we have another executive
Order that President Trump signed relating to independent agencies. This
executive order would establish important oversight functions in the Office
of Management and Budget and its subsidiary office OHIRA, supervising
independent agencies and many of their actions, and also re
(09:28):
establishes the long standing norm that only the President or
the Attorney General can speak for the United States when
stating in opinion as to what the law is.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Thank you very much, Will. That was the primary purpose
of this conference, to explain that they are all very
important in their own way. Fertilization. I've been saying that
we're going to do what we have to do, and
I think the women and families, husbands very appreciative of it.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That was it.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I do want to say, well, I'm up here. I've
been contacted by some of the biggest companies in the
world and because of what we're doing economically and through
tariffs and taxes and incentives, and they want to come
back into the United States. And we'll be announcing various
very large companies, the biggest actually, and they'll be coming back,
having to do with chips and having to do also
(10:23):
with cars and lots of other things. We're going to
be announcing some very very big, very big momentous I
think momentous decisions are being made by companies all around
the world, the biggest, and they want to come back
into the US. Car plants are being canceled in other
locations now because they want to build them here. And
(10:44):
you read about a couple not that I want to
mention names or anything, but you read about a couple
of big ones in Mexico just got canceled because they're
going to be building them in the United States. And
that's very simply because of what we're doing with respect
to taxes, tariffs and incentives. I think it's a very
important thing. And you'll be seeing this over the next
probably over the next two years, to be honest, but
(11:06):
you're going to see a lot of it over the
next couple of weeks. A lot of big ones are
going to be announcing. And so while we're here, I
guess we can take a couple of quick questions. Go ahead,
please please.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Have you decided specifically what the auto tariff right should be?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, I probably will tell you that on April second,
but it'll be in the neighborhood of twenty five percent
set conductors and pharmaceuticals, it'll be twenty five percent and higher,
and it'll go very substantially higher over course of a year.
But we want to give them time to come in because,
as you know, when they come into the United States
and they have their plant or factory here, there is
(11:44):
no tariff. So we want to give them a little
bit of a chance. Yes, thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
All right, President Trump at the White House. We're going
to continue our coverage for stations along the Sean Hannity
Showed network announcing executive orders of protecting families Right to IVF,
a campaign promise that he made in spite of accusations
by the Democrats to the contrary. And secondarily, and maybe
as important, depending what people's priorities are at the moment.
(12:13):
I'm sure having a baby for a family is their
top priority, but making sure that there is full, complete
transparency on the spending of money in every government agency.
We're going to continue our coverage straight through this break
for stations along the Sean Hannity Show Network.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Thank you. The EU.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
I'm sorry, Andrew Arshilal, the EU representative is going to
be here in Washington next week.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I'm sorry tomorrow. He's going to be meeting with Hassett.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And Career and Latink.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
What can the EU do to sort of avoid the
reciprocal tariffs.
Speaker 9 (12:48):
That you've talked about, and you know you've talked a
lot about the VAT.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Do you expect them to reduce that?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Well, they did already, as I understand it, reduced their
car tariff all the way down to what we have.
And a lot of that will take place, and I
think some won't do it and some will do it.
But the EU had a ten percent tax on cars
and now they have a two and a half percent tax,
which is the exact same as US. So already we've
saved a tremendous amount. That would be great everybody would
do that. Then we'd all be on the same playing
(13:16):
field because essentially what we're doing with the tariffs is,
you know, they charge us, we charge them same amount
and it's called reciprocal actually, and whatever they charge us,
we're charging them. And so the EU is you know,
I appreciate that they did this, but you know, the
EU has been very unfair to us. We have a
deficit of three hundred and fifty billion dollars. They don't
(13:38):
take our cars, they don't take our farm products. They
don't take almost anything. They take very little, and we're
going to have to straighten that out and we will.
I have no doubt about it. Peer, I go ahead, please, thanks,
thank you, mister President.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Can you tell us a little bit more about the
Russia talks, your impression of they went today, and if
you have more confident lefts confident of the deal after
what happened today.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Well, much more confident. They were very good. Russia wants
to do something. They want to stop the savage barbarianism.
I mean, what's going on over there. It's soldiers are
being killed by the thousands on a weekly basis. It's ridiculous.
And they're not American soldiers. They're Russian soldiers and they're
(14:23):
Ukrainian soldiers largely, although a lot of Koreans have been killed,
as you know, quite a bit of them have been killed.
They came over to fight and a large portion have
been wiped out. But we want to end it. It's
a senseless war. It should have never happened, would have
never happened if I was president. And it's a shame
to see it. And I see pictures that you don't see,
(14:44):
but I see pictures of fields that look hard, just horrible.
It looks like Gettysburg. If you see the old pictures
of Gettysburg, it's soldiers lying all over the field, body
parts all over the field.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
They're all dead.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
And this is going on on a daily basis. It's
a horrible thing both right and Ukraine. They're losing thousands
and thousands of soldiers and a lot of people have
been killed too. I think that's one of the things
that you'll see historically and you'll see later on as
it goes along. I think people are going to be
surprised at how many people, not only soldiers, have been
(15:16):
killed in Ukraine, A lot more people than you think.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, please, President Trump, that's part of a peace deal
with Pousian. Would you be willing to consider removing all
American troops from Europe.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Well, nobody's asked me to do that, so I don't
think we'd have to do that. I wouldn't want to
do that, but that question has never really come up. Yeah, please,
So do you support stationing European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine
as part of this peace steel If they want to
do that, that's great. I'm all for it. If they
(15:53):
want to do that. I think that's that'd be fine.
I mean, I know France has mentioned it, others have
mentioned UK has mentioned it. But yeah, well, if we
have a peace deal, I think having troops over there
from the standpoint of Europe, we won't have to put
any over there, because you know, we're very far away,
(16:13):
but having troops over there would be fine. I would
not object to it at all. We're talking about this
now peace. We have either a ceasefire or a peace itself,
and we're looking to do both. Would start off with
this cease fire and if they want to do that,
I know France was willing to do that, and I
thought that was a beautiful gesture. Yeah. Please, Do you
(16:35):
have any.
Speaker 10 (16:35):
Message for Ukrainians who, after three years of fighting, might
feel betrayed or disappointed at not having a seat at
these initial talks in Saudi Arabia?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Well, I think I'm really disappointed in what's happened. I've
been watching this for three years. It's a war that
would have never happened if I was president, and I've
been watching these these you know, people being killed at
levels that you've rarely seen, not even close since the
Second World War. And I'm very disappointed. I hear that
(17:04):
they're upset about not having a seat, Well, they've had
a seat for three years and a long time before that.
This could have been settled very easily, just half a
half baked negotiator could have settled this years ago without
I think, without the loss of much land, very little land,
without the loss of any lives, and without the loss
(17:27):
of cities that are just laying on their sides. You
have those magnificent golden domes that are shattered, will never
be replaced. You can't replace them, a thousand year old
domes that are so beautiful. They can't replace that. The
whole civilization has changed because of what. So when they're
worried about not being seated, I mean somebody that should
(17:48):
have gone in and made a deal a long time ago.
You could have made a deal. This is one that
could have made a deal. There was no talk of
this during the Trump administration. Putin would have never ever
done it. And by the way, we wouldn't have had
October seventh. You know that we wouldn't have had October
seventh either in Israel, and we wouldn't have had that
mess that's going on over there. It's like we have
(18:09):
great fire people here. We're putting out fires all over
the world. We're putting out fires, So that wouldn't have happened.
And you know what else wouldn't have happened, inflation because
it was caused really by the cost of energy going
through the roof because of their bad energy policies. And
also they're spending, they're terrible spending, wasteful spending on the
green new scam. It's a scam. It's a whole big scam. Yeah, please, yes, sir.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
I want to ask you a little closer to home,
what would it take for you to reconsider the restrictions
on the Associated Press? And secondly, some of your advisors
are concerned with the Associated Press's style guide using language
and giving guidance to not use words like illegal immigrant
or to use phrases like gender affirming care, and they're
(18:55):
concerned about that being an encroaching amount of liberalism in
the way in which the press right about things.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
To share those concerns, well, I do think that some
of the phrases that they want to use are ridiculous,
and I think frankly they've become obsolete, especially in the
last three weeks, because many things have happened in the
last three weeks, and I didn't know about that, but
I would say that if they want to use certain
phrases like that, and I guess some are okay, but
(19:21):
many aren't. But the Associated Press just refuses to go
with what the law is and what has taking place.
It's called the Gulf of America now, it's not called
the Gulf of Mexico any longer. I have the right
to do it, just like we have the right to
do McKinley, and nobody's even challenging that, but only the
Associate Essentially, it's primarily the Associated Press, and I don't
(19:44):
know what they're doing, but I just say that we're
going to keep them out until such time as they
agree that it's the Gulf of America. We're very proud
of this country and we want it to be the
Gulf of America. Now. The Associated Press, as you know,
has been very, very wrong on the election, on Trump
and the treatment of Trump and other things having to
do with Trump and Republicans and Conservatives, and they're doing
(20:07):
us no favors, and I guess I'm not doing them
any favors. That's the way life works.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
But you know.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Thank you for the question.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Who you with?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
All right for stations along the Sean Hennity Show Network.
We continue our coverage through this next break, and but
just giving you a heads up back to the UH.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I guess the oval off. No, it's in Palm Beach's
at mar Lago.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
Yes, we're hearing that Russia wants to force Ukraine to
hold new elections in order to sign any kind of
a piece deal. Is that something that the US would
ever support?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Well, we have a situation where we haven't had elections
in Ukraine. Well, we have martial law essentially marshal law
in Ukraine. We're the leader in Ukraine. I mean, I
hate to say it, but he's down at four percent
approval rating. And where a country has been blown to
smithereens you got most of the cities are laying on
(21:06):
their sides, The buildings are collapsed. It looks like a
massive demolition site the whole I mean so many of
the cities. I mean, they haven't done it in Kiev
because I guess they don't want to shoot too many
rockets in there. They've done it twenty percent, but they
haven't done it one hundred percent. If they wanted to
do it one hundred percent, it would probably happen very quickly.
But you have cities that are absolutely decimated. And yeah,
(21:29):
I would say that, you know, when they want a
seat at the table, you could say that people have
to wouldn't the people of Ukraine have to say, like,
you know, it's been a long time since we've had
an election. That's not a Russia thing. That's something coming
from me and coming from many other countries. Also, you know,
Ukraine is being just wiped out. Look at what's happening
(21:51):
to the cities that there are cities there's not even
a building standing. It's a massive you talk about Gaza,
I mean it's it's literally these cities look like Gaza.
Actually many have percentage wise more buildings knocked down than
in Gaza. So, you know, people are tired of it.
People want to see something happen. And you know the
(22:13):
other thing that it's been bothering me for a long
time because I solved the problem with NATO, they paid
hundreds of billions of dollars into the funds of NATO.
When I said, you got to pay because the United
States was paying for European countries. And then they take
advantage of us on trade, but I've seen it. Look,
we have to they have to pay, they have to
(22:33):
find out where's the money going to we have I
believe President Zelensky said last week that he is in
no way half of the money is that we gave him. Well,
we gave them I believe three hundred and fifty billion dollars,
but let's say it's something less than that, but it's
it's a lot, and we have to equalize with Europe
because Europe has given us given a very much smaller
(22:55):
percentage in that. I think Europe has given a hundred
billion and we've been let's say three hundred plus. And
it's more important for them than it is for us.
We have an ocean in between and they don't. But
where is all the money that's been given? Where is
it going? And nobody I've never seen an accounting of it.
We give hundreds of billions of dollars, I don't see
(23:19):
any accounting. So I want to see peace. Look, you
know why I want because I don't want all these
people killed anymore. I'm looking at people that are being killed,
and they're Russian and Ukrainian people, but they're people doesn't
matter where they're from, on the whole planet. And I
think I have the power to end this war, and
I think it's going very well. But today I heard, oh,
(23:41):
we weren't invited. Well, you've been there for three years.
You should have ended it three years. You should have
never started it. You could have made a deal. I
could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have
given them almost all of the land everything, almost all
of the land, and no people would have been killed,
and no city would have been demolished, and not one
dome would have been knocked down. But they chose not
(24:02):
to do it that way. And President Biden, in all fairness,
he doesn't have a clue. He was so bad for this.
He was so bad, so pathetic, so sad. But with
all of that being said, look it is what it is.
When I left, there was no chance that this could
have happened. But it happened because we had incompetent leadership
at many different levels. But when you see what's taking
(24:24):
place in Ukraine, with millions of people killed, including the soldiers,
millions of people killed, a big percentage of their cities
knocked down to the ground, I don't know how anybody
even lives there. You know, when they say they took
a poll and Zelensky's at four percent, who's living there?
Speaker 11 (24:39):
You know?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I mean people are It's hard to believe that people
live there. Their cities are being knocked down. And this
is something that would have never happened, and by the way,
for four years it didn't happen, was never going to happen.
Go ahead, all the.
Speaker 9 (24:53):
Question, how would you counter the perception because Russia is
pushing for this, Obviously they don't really hold true elections
that would be a capitulation of some sort. How would
you guard against potentially Russia installing a puppet government? And
then finally, how would that new election have an impact
on getting Zelensky to sign the Rare Earth Minerals do.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Look, you have leadership, and I like him personally, it's fine,
but I don't care about personally. I care about getting
the job done. You have leadership now that's allowed a
war to go on that should have never even happened,
even without the United States. Look, we had a president
who was grossly incompetent. He had no idea what he
(25:34):
was doing. He said some very stupid things like going
in for portions and all of the things. He made
a lot of bad statements, but he's grossly incompetent. And
I think everyone knew that this is something that should
have never happened, would have never happened. And I used
to discuss it with Putin, President Putin and I would
talk about Ukraine. It was the apple of his eye,
I will tell you that. But he never there was
(25:55):
never a chance of him going in. And I told
him you better not go in. Don't go in, don't
go in. And he understood that, he understood it fully.
But I'm only interested. I want to see if I
can save maybe millions of lives. This could even end
up in a World War three. I mean to be
honest with you. You've been hearing now Europe to said, well,
I think we're going to go in, and we're going
to go all of a sudden, you can end up
(26:16):
in World War three over something that should have never happened.
And you know it's a very sad situation.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah. Please, In a court filing, the White House said that, all.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Right, that is President Trump taking a few questions from
the press at mar Lago.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
We're going to step away with something.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
All right, That is President Trump taking some questions after
he signed a couple of executive orders, one forcing government
agencies to basically, line by line offer line by line
transpen transparency on spending. Also following through on a campaign
promise for families that codifies their ability to get IVF treatment.
(27:01):
That's something that was demagogue during the campaign, repeatedly by
the left.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
That was never true.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And you know, interview after interview, I said, and on
the issue of IVF, He's like looking at me, like,
do I have to answer it again. I'm like, well,
kind of because people are lying about it. Yes, anyway,
And he spent a lot of time talking about the
Ukraine situation, reiterating his point that this would not have
happened had he been president. He did reference Joe Biden,
(27:30):
who we all know is checked out. And you know,
if you remember Biden's early comments when when Putin and
Russia were building up their army on the border, and
he said it was asked about, well, what would the
consequences be, Well, depends if it's a minor incursion or whatever.
He did talk about his support if your wants to
(27:53):
put troops there. There's no intention of pulling American troops
out of Europe, that's not been part of the discussion.
He did touch on the Middle East and wanting to
end wars in both Europe and the Middle East and
saving lives and rebuilding these countries, which he is Another
point he reiterated. He touched on inflation and a lot
(28:18):
of it being caused by high energy poles prices because
of the policies of the Biden Harris or Hires Biden administration,
depending on how you look at it, and and you know,
and he was asked about how this would impact the
Rare Earth mineral deal, and he and he and he
(28:38):
kind of showed a little bit of exasperation. Uh, there
are high level discussions going on in Saudi Arabia with
Russia today, but we've already had high level discussions. If
you recall when President Trump had his conversation with Vladimir Putin,
he immediately then called President Zelensky and he talked at
(28:58):
length about President's Lynche likes them personally, but it's not
about personality. It's about whether or not whether or not
they're going to come to a negotiated settlement, which I
believe that they will. I'm going to get back to
Greg Jarrett here in a minute, I just want to
remind everybody speaking of the Middle East. I mean, it's
been since October seventh, twenty twenty three, a year of
(29:19):
just pain and suffering in Israel, and that pain and
suffering is ongoing, and there is such a dramatic, dire
need for humanitarian aid I can't even explain it in words. Thankfully,
there are groups that we have partnered with, like the
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and they've been on
the ground from day one. They continue to support our
(29:41):
allies and friends in the Holy Land with the lingering
horrors of war, people that are in desperate need of
all these bare necessities and whatever gift you can provide
to the critically needed communities that have been you know,
people that have literally been tens of thousands of people
that can't go back to their home in the north
end in the South. But these donations are going to deliver,
(30:06):
you know, needed services to those in need. That's evacuees
and refugees and first responders and volunteers and soldiers that
are wounded, and even elderly Holocaust survivors and their families,
people that have lost everything as they battle their you know,
seven Front more against radical Islamic terrorists and anyway, whatever
(30:27):
you can do, please help the IFCJ in their mission.
The need is beyond comprehension. Anyway, it's SUPPORTIFCJ dot org.
That's their website, Support IFCJ dot org. They have a
tot free numbers eight eight eight four eight eight I
f c J eight eight eight four eight eight.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I f CJ. We continue.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
My friend and colleague Fox News legal analysts but also
best selling author Greg Jarrett is with us. Let's get
your initial take on the president's press conference.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Well, I was happy to see him reiterate with an
executive order that there must be full transparency on the waste,
fraud and abuse discovered by DOGE. And I think Donald Trump,
when he finishes his presidency, his legacy will be a
myriad of things, but one of the main things I
(31:18):
think will be his commitment to reducing the size and
scope of the federal government. There are simply too many
federal employees two point four million. That doesn't even count
the postal service employees, active duty military, it doesn't count them.
Nobody knows exactly that this is ludicrous. I know nobody
(31:40):
knows how many federal agencies actually exist. I checked the
Federal Register. It lists over four hundred, but that's not
a complete list. Our bureaucracy is the definition of bloated.
It should be in Webster's dictionary. And it's a out
time that a president had the courage to put the
(32:03):
cub government on an ozempic diet. There are in netburopecrats doing.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Too little, by the way, I wish there was an ozempic.
We could give them purecress of Washington. I know I
have friends of mine that have lost a lot of
weight with ozempic or what we go vie or something.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I don't know these drugs.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Uh, oh, well go vie.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Six percent of the federal workers, according to a recent
congressional report which I read, report to work in person
on a full time basis six percent.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It's insane.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
It is insane, and look so it's successive. It's inefficient.
No business could operate that way. And a huge amount
of our federal spending and debt is caused by the
workforce and the compensation nearly three hundred billion dollars in
(33:01):
pay for civilian employees, and that excludes the pensions. So
you know, for example, last Friday, DHS cut four hundred workers.
Do you know what that savings is? Fifty million dollars.
So you've got to trim these swollen agencies. That'll save billions.
And legally, even though Trump has been sued for doing it,
(33:26):
he has immense authority to slash the workforce. You know,
those on probation.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
That's a specious argument that the left is making.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yeah, most of them are at will employees. They can
be fired for no reason at all. There are a
few civil service protections, but that doesn't apply to large
scale restructuring, which the president is doing. So despite the
predictable lawsuits, Trump is on solid legal footing, especially where
(33:57):
he's offering these generous buy such a great way to
get rid of people. They're voluntary in about seventy five
thousand want to take it. Think of the amount of
savings when you get rid of seventy five thousand people
you don't really need, so that I think this is
going to be a huge part of this legacy.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah, you mentioned something that caught my attention, and I
actually played it last night on TV, and we played
it yesterday, some of it yesterday, not all of it.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
If you go back even to the Reagan years and
the Grace Commission, which was the best and smartest and
brightest business minds in the country, and I forget what
is the W Grace, I forget his full name. Anyway,
the best minds in business, and they were tasked with
the job of finding ways to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse,
(34:49):
and run government more efficiently and run it more like
a business.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
That's what their task was. And they came up with.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
A series of very powerful recommendations and none of them
would are adopted. I mean, it's such a shame. But
this has now gone on for decades and decades and
decades Republican Party for decades. We're going to eliminate ways,
fraud and abuse and limit the size and scope and
influence the government in our lives, and we'll have less government,
(35:17):
greater freedom. And even Democrats Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama,
we just went back in time and listen to this,
Greg and tell me if this does not sound exactly
like what Trump is doing versus f Trump Fie lawn
people are going to die. You know, all the hysteria,
(35:39):
the singing.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
We will win, we will.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Win Chuck Schumer's you know, listen to the old Democratic
Party that is not represented. They have no connection to
the modern day Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Listen.
Speaker 11 (35:53):
This report tells us how to cut waste, cut red tape,
streamline the bureaucras see change procurement rules, change the personnel rules,
and create a government that works better and costs less.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
By paying for these plans, first with cuts and government
waste and efficiency. Second, with cuts not gimmicks and government spending,
will prove that we can spend the money we have
in an appropriate way and stop wasting so much other.
Speaker 12 (36:21):
But over the next several months, we will be looking
at every other agency and program asking the direct question,
do we really need this agency? Do we really need
this program?
Speaker 7 (36:33):
Twenty years into a period in our history where most
American wage earners are working longer work weeks for stagnant wages.
It is outrageous for the government to have rules and
regulations which take those people's money from them and spend
it on things that cannot be justified.
Speaker 10 (36:52):
One of the commitments that I made the American people
was that we would do a better job here in
Washington in rooting out wasteful spending. We don't need to
wait for Congress in order to do something about wasteful
spending that's out there. Cutting waste, making government more efficient
is something that leaders in both parties have worked on.
(37:14):
We haven't seen as much action out of Congress as
we'd like, and that's why we launched on our own initiative,
the Campaign to Cut Waste.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
They all said it, even what do they call the
Obama brothers or the Obama guys, they have this podcast,
why didn't we do that?
Speaker 2 (37:31):
And at least they were being honest.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Well, first of all, the modern extreme radical Democratic Party,
they want to spend these hundreds of billions of dollars
abroad on their radicalized Green New Deal, which is another
version for their socialism. They want to spend it on
woke ideology and DEI and transgenderism and LGBTQ plus. And
(38:00):
they have not been honest and transparent with the American
people because they label it under these innocuous, obscure titles.
And it took Elon Musk to do it, and they
all have said this. Now going back, you know, even
you can take it back to the nineteen sixties if
you really want to be blunt, but you know, to
the credit of Bill Clinton, he did accomplish some of this,
(38:23):
a little bit of this because newp Gingrich two years
into the Clinton presidency became speaker and they were forced
to work together. They balanced five consecutive budgets. Greg they
all said it, Trump is doing it, and the left
is losing their mind. What does that say about the
modern extreme, radicalized Democratic Party because the only moderate I
(38:44):
see out there, at least in word, is John Fetterman.
Speaker 5 (38:48):
Well, I'm tempted to call them dishonest and corrupt because
what they really do is they create slash ones and
then they hand out the money, you know, with a
lot of zeros to their favorite pet projects and groups,
liberal groups, you know, climate groups, NGOs that are pursuing
(39:10):
well now.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
But we did balance the budget. The last time we
bounced it was when Nuke Gingrich was speaker. He did it,
He made it happen, and Clinton went along with it.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
Our current national debt is thirty six trillion dollars, and
you know, all presidents bear responsibility for that since it
was accumulated. Trumb is different. You know, he's a businessman,
he's not a career politician. So when he says he's
going to do something. By God, he does it because
(39:42):
that's just his nature. He remembers what he promises, and
he attempts to fulfill that promise. And you know these
lawsuits will not stop him. Presidents have broad authority Article
two of the Constitution to govern and control agencies and
departments in the executive branch. That is, to say how
(40:05):
much money is spent hiring and firing, auditing for fraud, waste,
and abuse. Trump is exercising a core responsibility. He is
serving the public's interest, which is his solemn duty. The
legal question which the courts will have to resolve is
(40:25):
can he delegate that power to doge to Elon Musk.
Democrats say, oh, no, you can't do that because Musk
wasn't Senate confirmed under the appointment's cause. Utter nonsense. There
is a large body of law that says the president
can absolutely on his own without Senate confirmation, confer administrative
(40:50):
powers to others. So you may see a few early
setbacks by lower court judges who are hostile to Trump.
Knew this would happen. He knew that liberals would run
to their favorable judges and cry that he's stopping our fraud. Ultimately,
the Supreme Court will weigh in, and that I think
(41:12):
is where Trump will prevail. He will be able to
do exactly what he promised to do.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
And by the way, one other area, I mean this
goes back to Thomas Jefferson, by the way, what you're describing,
because Thomas Jefferson, you know, embraced a principle that's basically
the equivalent of of line item veto as president. And
even the New York Times, on another legal issue, said, yeah,
(41:40):
birthright citizenships not been decided in the last case for
that was eighteen ninety eight. And it never talked about
illegal immigrants. It talked about permanent legal residents. So I
think in the New York Times acknowledges he probably he
might have a point here. I think you can win
that case.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Has read my column of about.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Three or four weeks they stole it from you, I
should have know.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
I mean, I said Trump has a very valid argument
on birthright citizenship, and I went through the history of
the law and prove the point. And now said in
the New York Times he has a valid point.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Yeah, Well, if they would read Greg Jarred a little
bit more and maybe read just thenews dot Com and
our buddy John Solomon a little more. They might actually,
you know, break some news for ones, I said in
an interview yesterday, and I'm almost out of time.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Legacy media is dead, but they don't know it yet.
Am I right?
Speaker 5 (42:33):
Oh, You're completely right, hundred percent, And it's why people
increasingly are turning away from them. I mean, just look
at their ratings. There are other sources of news that
are far more reliable, and you just named a few,
like I think I'm part of that. You certainly are,
(42:54):
and I you know, people, this is a month you're a.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
Big part of it. I mentioned you and that's name interview,
my name.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
I appreciate the attribution and how we got the Russia
hoax right, we got Piza right. And I actually wrote
down a list and I read from it in the
middle of an interview because I knew it would come
up because it was about media. And I'm like, let
me tell you all the things you got wrong and
I got right, and my ensemble cast and Russia and
Pisa and all these other issues, and you played an
integral part and all of that.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Anyway, we appreciate you sticking around longer than we anticipated.
We weren't sure how long that was going to go.
Greg Jarrett, Fox News, legal analyst, best selling author, Thank you,
my friend.
Speaker 5 (43:37):
My thanks to you. I'm looking forward to the interview tonight.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
I hope you like it.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Part won my interview with Donald Trump, President Trump and
Elon Musk together talking about a lot of these issues. Yes,
we we asked the question about conflicts of interest. Yes,
we asked about what is this going to do to
Social Security and Medicare? Okay, we get that in and
then we talk about other departments. But you know, I
hope you enjoy I enjoyed doing and I'll put it
(44:04):
that way
All right, thanks Scott Shannen and our two Sean Hannity
Show tot free. Our number is eight hundred and nine
to four one Sean. If you want to be a
part of the program, the President is expected to speak.
We're not going to probably take the whole thing like
we did last week. Otherwise, like I'll just hand over
the whole show. And we have so much news that
we have to get to and important stuff that is
(00:22):
also out there that we need to report to you.
But boy, what a refreshing change in five weeks. I
think we ought to add up the time that Donald
Trump is spent with the media and doing interviews and
gaggles and versus how much time Joe Biden did in
(00:42):
four years. I'm sure he's catching up very quickly. And
then Joe Biden took a whopping nearly six hundred days vacation,
five hundred and fifty days vacation. Whatever it was was crazy.
But in light of all of these revelations, those already
saving taxpayers to one hundred billion dollars. In my interview
(01:03):
with President Trump and Elon tonight, we go into how
high they think this number will be or Elon, does
you know now they're saving taxpayers of fortune. A Treasury
Department discovery was made by DOGE four point seven trillion
missing a critical tracking code, which they say makes tracing
(01:26):
the transaction almost impossible.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
How is that possible?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Four point seven trillion dollars in payments that they left blank,
making traceability almost impossible. If you go to doze on X,
I mean, this is so incredible. I mean the amount
of money, it's going to be hundreds of billions, if
not higher. And this is you know, see this through
(01:53):
the prism of the average American that makes sixty six
grand a year and the nearly forty in debt and
the two hundred and thirty five billion identified by the
GAO last week that Biden misspent in a year, or
the you know seven hundred and sixty four billion dollars
in COVID relief relief at the Biden administration erroneously paid out.
(02:18):
What do they expect people to give that money back?
You know, four billion dollars in COVID stimulus payments sent
to dead people. They discovered that too. I forgot to
mention that part four point seven trillion just missing a
critical code. We have no idea how they spend the money.
I mean, it's just so so outrageous. It's it's beyond
(02:39):
anything I've ever seen. You know, the millions of instances
where social Security fraud is in the database.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Three, You've you've got literally and this, this, this is
mind numbing. Two that they have discovered that there are
more people on Social Securities eligibility list and there are
actual Americans and in other words, millions more eligible recipients
than living Americans. This is insane. And then you get
(03:10):
deeper into it and you find twenty million Americans listed
on the Social Security eligibility list, over one hundred twenty million,
three point nine million in the range of one hundred
and thirty years old to one hundred and thirty nine
years old, three point five million aged one hundred and
forty to one hundred and forty nine years old. Over
one point three million whose ages range from one hundred
(03:33):
and fifty years old to one hundred and fifty nine
years old. Is even in alive citizen aged over three
hundred and sixty years old.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I'd like to meet this person.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Now, we don't know if they're getting paid yet, we
don't know if their relatives are getting paid and just
getting checks and cashing them. I don't know. I bet,
I bet we're going to find those issues. You know,
we found in twenty twenty three sixty eight billion in
aid to one hundred and seventy six countries, most of
it doing with the Green New Deal, et cetera, the
(04:04):
radicalized Green New Deal and DEI and wokeness and transgenderism
and LGBTQ plus. And then people are saying, well, he's unelected. Well,
there's not a nobody that works for the president for
the most part, is elected. A vice president's elected. This
cabinet is okay, you have advising consent, but it's pretty
(04:25):
much been a walk for every single Trump nominae will
continue to be. But it raises issues about the president's
authority under Article two of our Constitution. Here to weigh
in on that is Greg Jarrett, Because they keep screaming
this is unconstitutional, this is a constitutional crisis. Is it
a constitutional crisis?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Greg Jarrett, No, of course not.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
That's absurd. It's the usual overwrought hysteria. Everything's a crisis,
particularly a constitutional crisis. No, it isn't. There have been
seventy five lawsuits filed against Trump in the four weeks
that you know, he's been in office. That's got to
set a record. What happens is that Democrats reflexively are
(05:15):
against anything that Donald Trump does, and so they go
running in crime to the nearest federal court judge. Oh,
he wants to stop my fraud and abuse my waste.
That's not right. And you know they're on the wrong
(05:37):
side of this because a majority of Americans approve of
what Trump is doing. Seventy percent in a CBS poll
agree that the president is doing exactly what he promised
he was going to do, which is something that politicians
never too. They make all kinds of promises with no
intent of fulfilling them because it sounds good and they
(05:57):
want to get elected. Well, Trump's different, and you know,
he's doing what he said he was going to do.
And the amount of waste and fraud that Dog and
Elon Musk have uncovered is truly shocking to the American
sensibility they have found so far. And I think this
(06:18):
is a low number. The twenty percent of government spending
is wasted. I think it's more like thirty maybe forty percent. Billions,
tens of billions in misplaced funds, Eye popping sums that
are lavished on foreign entities. USAID totally out of control,
(06:41):
thankfully now shut down giving away boat loads of taxpayer
money like free candy, Sesame Street, interacked Dei in Serbia.
The list goes on and on. Billions in waste at
the EPA. Leezelden thankfully is going to call back a
(07:01):
lot of that money. The Pentagon. I hope Pete Pete
hexsept is going to do what he says he's going
to do, cut the waste of the fraud there. So
you know, we got a long way to go here.
But naturally Democrats rushed to the nearest federal courts to
try to stop it, and you know, they're arguing against
(07:23):
themselves in the eyes of the American public.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You know, isn't it amazing that this is now the
hill that they want to die on what will ultimately
be hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars waste, fraud,
abuse and corruption. And I don't want to be redundant
to this audience. This is not fair because I've spent
a lot of time, an inordinate amount of time, informing
(07:48):
them how the money's been spent. I've been scrolling it
on television every night, and it all seems to be
rooted in this left wing whose foundation is the Green
New Deal, DEI, wokeism, transgenderism, LGBTQ plus abroad. This is
(08:11):
not money that is spent on hiring more police officers,
firefighters to make our towns more safe and secure. It's
not money that is being spent to get rid of
gang members, cartel members, murderers, rapists, and known terrorists in
the country. This is not money that is being spent
to improve American schools. This is not money that is
(08:32):
being spent to make America the most energy dominant country
in the world.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I got to take a quick break here, though.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Greg Donald Trump has taken to the podium and he
just introduced somebody. Oh, he's signing executive orders.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
Let's listen to the administration's broader commitment to governmental transparency.
What this presidential memorandum would do is require as waste, fraud,
and abuse is uncovered, as programs are canceled, and ultimately
as taxpayers are saved, this presidential memorandum would require departments
and agencies to make all of the details of that
(09:07):
freely available to the public. Lastly, we have another executive
Order that President Trump signed relating to independent agencies. This
executive order would establish important oversight functions in the Office
of Management and Budget and its subsidiary office OHIRA, supervising
independent agencies and many of their actions, and also re
(09:28):
establishes the long standing norm that only the President or
the Attorney General can speak for the United States when
stating in opinion as to what the law is.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Thank you very much, Will. That was the primary purpose
of this conference, to explain that they are all very
important in their own way. Fertilization. I've been saying that
we're going to do what we have to do, and
I think the women and families, husbands very appreciative of it.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That was it.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I do want to say, well, I'm up here. I've
been contacted by some of the biggest companies in the
world and because of what we're doing economically and through
tariffs and taxes and incentives, and they want to come
back into the United States. And we'll be announcing various
very large companies, the biggest actually, and they'll be coming back,
having to do with chips and having to do also
(10:23):
with cars and lots of other things. We're going to
be announcing some very very big, very big momentous I
think momentous decisions are being made by companies all around
the world, the biggest, and they want to come back
into the US. Car plants are being canceled in other
locations now because they want to build them here. And
(10:44):
you read about a couple not that I want to
mention names or anything, but you read about a couple
of big ones in Mexico just got canceled because they're
going to be building them in the United States. And
that's very simply because of what we're doing with respect
to taxes, tariffs and incentives. I think it's a very
important thing. And you'll be seeing this over the next
probably over the next two years, to be honest, but
(11:06):
you're going to see a lot of it over the
next couple of weeks. A lot of big ones are
going to be announcing. And so while we're here, I
guess we can take a couple of quick questions. Go ahead,
please please.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Have you decided specifically what the auto tariff right should be?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, I probably will tell you that on April second,
but it'll be in the neighborhood of twenty five percent
set conductors and pharmaceuticals, it'll be twenty five percent and higher,
and it'll go very substantially higher over course of a year.
But we want to give them time to come in because,
as you know, when they come into the United States
and they have their plant or factory here, there is
(11:44):
no tariff. So we want to give them a little
bit of a chance. Yes, thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
All right, President Trump at the White House. We're going
to continue our coverage for stations along the Sean Hannity
Showed network announcing executive orders of protecting families Right to IVF,
a campaign promise that he made in spite of accusations
by the Democrats to the contrary. And secondarily, and maybe
as important, depending what people's priorities are at the moment.
(12:13):
I'm sure having a baby for a family is their
top priority, but making sure that there is full, complete
transparency on the spending of money in every government agency.
We're going to continue our coverage straight through this break
for stations along the Sean Hannity Show Network.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Thank you. The EU.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
I'm sorry, Andrew Arshilal, the EU representative is going to
be here in Washington next week.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I'm sorry tomorrow. He's going to be meeting with Hassett.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And Career and Latink.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
What can the EU do to sort of avoid the
reciprocal tariffs.
Speaker 9 (12:48):
That you've talked about, and you know you've talked a
lot about the VAT.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Do you expect them to reduce that?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Well, they did already, as I understand it, reduced their
car tariff all the way down to what we have.
And a lot of that will take place, and I
think some won't do it and some will do it.
But the EU had a ten percent tax on cars
and now they have a two and a half percent tax,
which is the exact same as US. So already we've
saved a tremendous amount. That would be great everybody would
do that. Then we'd all be on the same playing
(13:16):
field because essentially what we're doing with the tariffs is,
you know, they charge us, we charge them same amount
and it's called reciprocal actually, and whatever they charge us,
we're charging them. And so the EU is you know,
I appreciate that they did this, but you know, the
EU has been very unfair to us. We have a
deficit of three hundred and fifty billion dollars. They don't
(13:38):
take our cars, they don't take our farm products. They
don't take almost anything. They take very little, and we're
going to have to straighten that out and we will.
I have no doubt about it. Peer, I go ahead, please, thanks,
thank you, mister President.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Can you tell us a little bit more about the
Russia talks, your impression of they went today, and if
you have more confident lefts confident of the deal after
what happened today.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Well, much more confident. They were very good. Russia wants
to do something. They want to stop the savage barbarianism.
I mean, what's going on over there. It's soldiers are
being killed by the thousands on a weekly basis. It's ridiculous.
And they're not American soldiers. They're Russian soldiers and they're
(14:23):
Ukrainian soldiers largely, although a lot of Koreans have been killed,
as you know, quite a bit of them have been killed.
They came over to fight and a large portion have
been wiped out. But we want to end it. It's
a senseless war. It should have never happened, would have
never happened if I was president. And it's a shame
to see it. And I see pictures that you don't see,
(14:44):
but I see pictures of fields that look hard, just horrible.
It looks like Gettysburg. If you see the old pictures
of Gettysburg, it's soldiers lying all over the field, body
parts all over the field.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
They're all dead.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
And this is going on on a daily basis. It's
a horrible thing both right and Ukraine. They're losing thousands
and thousands of soldiers and a lot of people have
been killed too. I think that's one of the things
that you'll see historically and you'll see later on as
it goes along. I think people are going to be
surprised at how many people, not only soldiers, have been
(15:16):
killed in Ukraine, A lot more people than you think.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, please, President Trump, that's part of a peace deal
with Pousian. Would you be willing to consider removing all
American troops from Europe.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Well, nobody's asked me to do that, so I don't
think we'd have to do that. I wouldn't want to
do that, but that question has never really come up. Yeah, please,
So do you support stationing European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine
as part of this peace steel If they want to
do that, that's great. I'm all for it. If they
(15:53):
want to do that. I think that's that'd be fine.
I mean, I know France has mentioned it, others have
mentioned UK has mentioned it. But yeah, well, if we
have a peace deal, I think having troops over there
from the standpoint of Europe, we won't have to put
any over there, because you know, we're very far away,
(16:13):
but having troops over there would be fine. I would
not object to it at all. We're talking about this
now peace. We have either a ceasefire or a peace itself,
and we're looking to do both. Would start off with
this cease fire and if they want to do that,
I know France was willing to do that, and I
thought that was a beautiful gesture. Yeah. Please, Do you
(16:35):
have any.
Speaker 10 (16:35):
Message for Ukrainians who, after three years of fighting, might
feel betrayed or disappointed at not having a seat at
these initial talks in Saudi Arabia?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Well, I think I'm really disappointed in what's happened. I've
been watching this for three years. It's a war that
would have never happened if I was president, and I've
been watching these these you know, people being killed at
levels that you've rarely seen, not even close since the
Second World War. And I'm very disappointed. I hear that
(17:04):
they're upset about not having a seat, Well, they've had
a seat for three years and a long time before that.
This could have been settled very easily, just half a
half baked negotiator could have settled this years ago without
I think, without the loss of much land, very little land,
without the loss of any lives, and without the loss
(17:27):
of cities that are just laying on their sides. You
have those magnificent golden domes that are shattered, will never
be replaced. You can't replace them, a thousand year old
domes that are so beautiful. They can't replace that. The
whole civilization has changed because of what. So when they're
worried about not being seated, I mean somebody that should
(17:48):
have gone in and made a deal a long time ago.
You could have made a deal. This is one that
could have made a deal. There was no talk of
this during the Trump administration. Putin would have never ever
done it. And by the way, we wouldn't have had
October seventh. You know that we wouldn't have had October
seventh either in Israel, and we wouldn't have had that
mess that's going on over there. It's like we have
(18:09):
great fire people here. We're putting out fires all over
the world. We're putting out fires, So that wouldn't have happened.
And you know what else wouldn't have happened, inflation because
it was caused really by the cost of energy going
through the roof because of their bad energy policies. And
also they're spending, they're terrible spending, wasteful spending on the
green new scam. It's a scam. It's a whole big scam. Yeah, please, yes, sir.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
I want to ask you a little closer to home,
what would it take for you to reconsider the restrictions
on the Associated Press? And secondly, some of your advisors
are concerned with the Associated Press's style guide using language
and giving guidance to not use words like illegal immigrant
or to use phrases like gender affirming care, and they're
(18:55):
concerned about that being an encroaching amount of liberalism in
the way in which the press right about things.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
To share those concerns, well, I do think that some
of the phrases that they want to use are ridiculous,
and I think frankly they've become obsolete, especially in the
last three weeks, because many things have happened in the
last three weeks, and I didn't know about that, but
I would say that if they want to use certain
phrases like that, and I guess some are okay, but
(19:21):
many aren't. But the Associated Press just refuses to go
with what the law is and what has taking place.
It's called the Gulf of America now, it's not called
the Gulf of Mexico any longer. I have the right
to do it, just like we have the right to
do McKinley, and nobody's even challenging that, but only the
Associate Essentially, it's primarily the Associated Press, and I don't
(19:44):
know what they're doing, but I just say that we're
going to keep them out until such time as they
agree that it's the Gulf of America. We're very proud
of this country and we want it to be the
Gulf of America. Now. The Associated Press, as you know,
has been very, very wrong on the election, on Trump
and the treatment of Trump and other things having to
do with Trump and Republicans and Conservatives, and they're doing
(20:07):
us no favors, and I guess I'm not doing them
any favors. That's the way life works.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
But you know.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Thank you for the question.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Who you with?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
All right for stations along the Sean Hennity Show Network.
We continue our coverage through this next break, and but
just giving you a heads up back to the UH.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I guess the oval off. No, it's in Palm Beach's
at mar Lago.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
Yes, we're hearing that Russia wants to force Ukraine to
hold new elections in order to sign any kind of
a piece deal. Is that something that the US would
ever support?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Well, we have a situation where we haven't had elections
in Ukraine. Well, we have martial law essentially marshal law
in Ukraine. We're the leader in Ukraine. I mean, I
hate to say it, but he's down at four percent
approval rating. And where a country has been blown to
smithereens you got most of the cities are laying on
(21:06):
their sides, The buildings are collapsed. It looks like a
massive demolition site the whole I mean so many of
the cities. I mean, they haven't done it in Kiev
because I guess they don't want to shoot too many
rockets in there. They've done it twenty percent, but they
haven't done it one hundred percent. If they wanted to
do it one hundred percent, it would probably happen very quickly.
But you have cities that are absolutely decimated. And yeah,
(21:29):
I would say that, you know, when they want a
seat at the table, you could say that people have
to wouldn't the people of Ukraine have to say, like,
you know, it's been a long time since we've had
an election. That's not a Russia thing. That's something coming
from me and coming from many other countries. Also, you know,
Ukraine is being just wiped out. Look at what's happening
(21:51):
to the cities that there are cities there's not even
a building standing. It's a massive you talk about Gaza,
I mean it's it's literally these cities look like Gaza.
Actually many have percentage wise more buildings knocked down than
in Gaza. So, you know, people are tired of it.
People want to see something happen. And you know the
(22:13):
other thing that it's been bothering me for a long
time because I solved the problem with NATO, they paid
hundreds of billions of dollars into the funds of NATO.
When I said, you got to pay because the United
States was paying for European countries. And then they take
advantage of us on trade, but I've seen it. Look,
we have to they have to pay, they have to
(22:33):
find out where's the money going to we have I
believe President Zelensky said last week that he is in
no way half of the money is that we gave him. Well,
we gave them I believe three hundred and fifty billion dollars,
but let's say it's something less than that, but it's
it's a lot, and we have to equalize with Europe
because Europe has given us given a very much smaller
(22:55):
percentage in that. I think Europe has given a hundred
billion and we've been let's say three hundred plus. And
it's more important for them than it is for us.
We have an ocean in between and they don't. But
where is all the money that's been given? Where is
it going? And nobody I've never seen an accounting of it.
We give hundreds of billions of dollars, I don't see
(23:19):
any accounting. So I want to see peace. Look, you
know why I want because I don't want all these
people killed anymore. I'm looking at people that are being killed,
and they're Russian and Ukrainian people, but they're people doesn't
matter where they're from, on the whole planet. And I
think I have the power to end this war, and
I think it's going very well. But today I heard, oh,
(23:41):
we weren't invited. Well, you've been there for three years.
You should have ended it three years. You should have
never started it. You could have made a deal. I
could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have
given them almost all of the land everything, almost all
of the land, and no people would have been killed,
and no city would have been demolished, and not one
dome would have been knocked down. But they chose not
(24:02):
to do it that way. And President Biden, in all fairness,
he doesn't have a clue. He was so bad for this.
He was so bad, so pathetic, so sad. But with
all of that being said, look it is what it is.
When I left, there was no chance that this could
have happened. But it happened because we had incompetent leadership
at many different levels. But when you see what's taking
(24:24):
place in Ukraine, with millions of people killed, including the soldiers,
millions of people killed, a big percentage of their cities
knocked down to the ground, I don't know how anybody
even lives there. You know, when they say they took
a poll and Zelensky's at four percent, who's living there?
Speaker 11 (24:39):
You know?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I mean people are It's hard to believe that people
live there. Their cities are being knocked down. And this
is something that would have never happened, and by the way,
for four years it didn't happen, was never going to happen.
Go ahead, all the.
Speaker 9 (24:53):
Question, how would you counter the perception because Russia is
pushing for this, Obviously they don't really hold true elections
that would be a capitulation of some sort. How would
you guard against potentially Russia installing a puppet government? And
then finally, how would that new election have an impact
on getting Zelensky to sign the Rare Earth Minerals do.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Look, you have leadership, and I like him personally, it's fine,
but I don't care about personally. I care about getting
the job done. You have leadership now that's allowed a
war to go on that should have never even happened,
even without the United States. Look, we had a president
who was grossly incompetent. He had no idea what he
(25:34):
was doing. He said some very stupid things like going
in for portions and all of the things. He made
a lot of bad statements, but he's grossly incompetent. And
I think everyone knew that this is something that should
have never happened, would have never happened. And I used
to discuss it with Putin, President Putin and I would
talk about Ukraine. It was the apple of his eye,
I will tell you that. But he never there was
(25:55):
never a chance of him going in. And I told
him you better not go in. Don't go in, don't
go in. And he understood that, he understood it fully.
But I'm only interested. I want to see if I
can save maybe millions of lives. This could even end
up in a World War three. I mean to be
honest with you. You've been hearing now Europe to said, well,
I think we're going to go in, and we're going
to go all of a sudden, you can end up
(26:16):
in World War three over something that should have never happened.
And you know it's a very sad situation.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah. Please, In a court filing, the White House said that, all.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Right, that is President Trump taking a few questions from
the press at mar Lago.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
We're going to step away with something.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
All right, That is President Trump taking some questions after
he signed a couple of executive orders, one forcing government
agencies to basically, line by line offer line by line
transpen transparency on spending. Also following through on a campaign
promise for families that codifies their ability to get IVF treatment.
(27:01):
That's something that was demagogue during the campaign, repeatedly by
the left.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
That was never true.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And you know, interview after interview, I said, and on
the issue of IVF, He's like looking at me, like,
do I have to answer it again. I'm like, well,
kind of because people are lying about it. Yes, anyway,
And he spent a lot of time talking about the
Ukraine situation, reiterating his point that this would not have
happened had he been president. He did reference Joe Biden,
(27:30):
who we all know is checked out. And you know,
if you remember Biden's early comments when when Putin and
Russia were building up their army on the border, and
he said it was asked about, well, what would the
consequences be, Well, depends if it's a minor incursion or whatever.
He did talk about his support if your wants to
(27:53):
put troops there. There's no intention of pulling American troops
out of Europe, that's not been part of the discussion.
He did touch on the Middle East and wanting to
end wars in both Europe and the Middle East and
saving lives and rebuilding these countries, which he is Another
point he reiterated. He touched on inflation and a lot
(28:18):
of it being caused by high energy poles prices because
of the policies of the Biden Harris or Hires Biden administration,
depending on how you look at it, and and you know,
and he was asked about how this would impact the
Rare Earth mineral deal, and he and he and he
(28:38):
kind of showed a little bit of exasperation. Uh, there
are high level discussions going on in Saudi Arabia with
Russia today, but we've already had high level discussions. If
you recall when President Trump had his conversation with Vladimir Putin,
he immediately then called President Zelensky and he talked at
(28:58):
length about President's Lynche likes them personally, but it's not
about personality. It's about whether or not whether or not
they're going to come to a negotiated settlement, which I
believe that they will. I'm going to get back to
Greg Jarrett here in a minute, I just want to
remind everybody speaking of the Middle East. I mean, it's
been since October seventh, twenty twenty three, a year of
(29:19):
just pain and suffering in Israel, and that pain and
suffering is ongoing, and there is such a dramatic, dire
need for humanitarian aid I can't even explain it in words. Thankfully,
there are groups that we have partnered with, like the
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and they've been on
the ground from day one. They continue to support our
(29:41):
allies and friends in the Holy Land with the lingering
horrors of war, people that are in desperate need of
all these bare necessities and whatever gift you can provide
to the critically needed communities that have been you know,
people that have literally been tens of thousands of people
that can't go back to their home in the north
end in the South. But these donations are going to deliver,
(30:06):
you know, needed services to those in need. That's evacuees
and refugees and first responders and volunteers and soldiers that
are wounded, and even elderly Holocaust survivors and their families,
people that have lost everything as they battle their you know,
seven Front more against radical Islamic terrorists and anyway, whatever
(30:27):
you can do, please help the IFCJ in their mission.
The need is beyond comprehension. Anyway, it's SUPPORTIFCJ dot org.
That's their website, Support IFCJ dot org. They have a
tot free numbers eight eight eight four eight eight I
f c J eight eight eight four eight eight.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I f CJ. We continue.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
My friend and colleague Fox News legal analysts but also
best selling author Greg Jarrett is with us. Let's get
your initial take on the president's press conference.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Well, I was happy to see him reiterate with an
executive order that there must be full transparency on the waste,
fraud and abuse discovered by DOGE. And I think Donald Trump,
when he finishes his presidency, his legacy will be a
myriad of things, but one of the main things I
(31:18):
think will be his commitment to reducing the size and
scope of the federal government. There are simply too many
federal employees two point four million. That doesn't even count
the postal service employees, active duty military, it doesn't count them.
Nobody knows exactly that this is ludicrous. I know nobody
(31:40):
knows how many federal agencies actually exist. I checked the
Federal Register. It lists over four hundred, but that's not
a complete list. Our bureaucracy is the definition of bloated.
It should be in Webster's dictionary. And it's a out
time that a president had the courage to put the
(32:03):
cub government on an ozempic diet. There are in netburopecrats doing.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Too little, by the way, I wish there was an ozempic.
We could give them purecress of Washington. I know I
have friends of mine that have lost a lot of
weight with ozempic or what we go vie or something.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I don't know these drugs.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Uh, oh, well go vie.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Six percent of the federal workers, according to a recent
congressional report which I read, report to work in person
on a full time basis six percent.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It's insane.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
It is insane, and look so it's successive. It's inefficient.
No business could operate that way. And a huge amount
of our federal spending and debt is caused by the
workforce and the compensation nearly three hundred billion dollars in
(33:01):
pay for civilian employees, and that excludes the pensions. So
you know, for example, last Friday, DHS cut four hundred workers.
Do you know what that savings is? Fifty million dollars.
So you've got to trim these swollen agencies. That'll save billions.
And legally, even though Trump has been sued for doing it,
(33:26):
he has immense authority to slash the workforce. You know,
those on probation.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
That's a specious argument that the left is making.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yeah, most of them are at will employees. They can
be fired for no reason at all. There are a
few civil service protections, but that doesn't apply to large
scale restructuring, which the president is doing. So despite the
predictable lawsuits, Trump is on solid legal footing, especially where
(33:57):
he's offering these generous buy such a great way to
get rid of people. They're voluntary in about seventy five
thousand want to take it. Think of the amount of
savings when you get rid of seventy five thousand people
you don't really need, so that I think this is
going to be a huge part of this legacy.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah, you mentioned something that caught my attention, and I
actually played it last night on TV, and we played
it yesterday, some of it yesterday, not all of it.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
If you go back even to the Reagan years and
the Grace Commission, which was the best and smartest and
brightest business minds in the country, and I forget what
is the W Grace, I forget his full name. Anyway,
the best minds in business, and they were tasked with
the job of finding ways to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse,
(34:49):
and run government more efficiently and run it more like
a business.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
That's what their task was. And they came up with.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
A series of very powerful recommendations and none of them
would are adopted. I mean, it's such a shame. But
this has now gone on for decades and decades and
decades Republican Party for decades. We're going to eliminate ways,
fraud and abuse and limit the size and scope and
influence the government in our lives, and we'll have less government,
(35:17):
greater freedom. And even Democrats Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama,
we just went back in time and listen to this,
Greg and tell me if this does not sound exactly
like what Trump is doing versus f Trump Fie lawn
people are going to die. You know, all the hysteria,
(35:39):
the singing.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
We will win, we will.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Win Chuck Schumer's you know, listen to the old Democratic
Party that is not represented. They have no connection to
the modern day Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Listen.
Speaker 11 (35:53):
This report tells us how to cut waste, cut red tape,
streamline the bureaucras see change procurement rules, change the personnel rules,
and create a government that works better and costs less.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
By paying for these plans, first with cuts and government
waste and efficiency. Second, with cuts not gimmicks and government spending,
will prove that we can spend the money we have
in an appropriate way and stop wasting so much other.
Speaker 12 (36:21):
But over the next several months, we will be looking
at every other agency and program asking the direct question,
do we really need this agency? Do we really need
this program?
Speaker 7 (36:33):
Twenty years into a period in our history where most
American wage earners are working longer work weeks for stagnant wages.
It is outrageous for the government to have rules and
regulations which take those people's money from them and spend
it on things that cannot be justified.
Speaker 10 (36:52):
One of the commitments that I made the American people
was that we would do a better job here in
Washington in rooting out wasteful spending. We don't need to
wait for Congress in order to do something about wasteful
spending that's out there. Cutting waste, making government more efficient
is something that leaders in both parties have worked on.
(37:14):
We haven't seen as much action out of Congress as
we'd like, and that's why we launched on our own initiative,
the Campaign to Cut Waste.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
They all said it, even what do they call the
Obama brothers or the Obama guys, they have this podcast,
why didn't we do that?
Speaker 2 (37:31):
And at least they were being honest.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Well, first of all, the modern extreme radical Democratic Party,
they want to spend these hundreds of billions of dollars
abroad on their radicalized Green New Deal, which is another
version for their socialism. They want to spend it on
woke ideology and DEI and transgenderism and LGBTQ plus. And
(38:00):
they have not been honest and transparent with the American
people because they label it under these innocuous, obscure titles.
And it took Elon Musk to do it, and they
all have said this. Now going back, you know, even
you can take it back to the nineteen sixties if
you really want to be blunt, but you know, to
the credit of Bill Clinton, he did accomplish some of this,
(38:23):
a little bit of this because newp Gingrich two years
into the Clinton presidency became speaker and they were forced
to work together. They balanced five consecutive budgets. Greg they
all said it, Trump is doing it, and the left
is losing their mind. What does that say about the
modern extreme, radicalized Democratic Party because the only moderate I
(38:44):
see out there, at least in word, is John Fetterman.
Speaker 5 (38:48):
Well, I'm tempted to call them dishonest and corrupt because
what they really do is they create slash ones and
then they hand out the money, you know, with a
lot of zeros to their favorite pet projects and groups,
liberal groups, you know, climate groups, NGOs that are pursuing
(39:10):
well now.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
But we did balance the budget. The last time we
bounced it was when Nuke Gingrich was speaker. He did it,
He made it happen, and Clinton went along with it.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
Our current national debt is thirty six trillion dollars, and
you know, all presidents bear responsibility for that since it
was accumulated. Trumb is different. You know, he's a businessman,
he's not a career politician. So when he says he's
going to do something. By God, he does it because
(39:42):
that's just his nature. He remembers what he promises, and
he attempts to fulfill that promise. And you know these
lawsuits will not stop him. Presidents have broad authority Article
two of the Constitution to govern and control agencies and
departments in the executive branch. That is, to say how
(40:05):
much money is spent hiring and firing, auditing for fraud, waste,
and abuse. Trump is exercising a core responsibility. He is
serving the public's interest, which is his solemn duty. The
legal question which the courts will have to resolve is
(40:25):
can he delegate that power to doge to Elon Musk.
Democrats say, oh, no, you can't do that because Musk
wasn't Senate confirmed under the appointment's cause. Utter nonsense. There
is a large body of law that says the president
can absolutely on his own without Senate confirmation, confer administrative
(40:50):
powers to others. So you may see a few early
setbacks by lower court judges who are hostile to Trump.
Knew this would happen. He knew that liberals would run
to their favorable judges and cry that he's stopping our fraud. Ultimately,
the Supreme Court will weigh in, and that I think
(41:12):
is where Trump will prevail. He will be able to
do exactly what he promised to do.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
And by the way, one other area, I mean this
goes back to Thomas Jefferson, by the way, what you're describing,
because Thomas Jefferson, you know, embraced a principle that's basically
the equivalent of of line item veto as president. And
even the New York Times, on another legal issue, said, yeah,
(41:40):
birthright citizenships not been decided in the last case for
that was eighteen ninety eight. And it never talked about
illegal immigrants. It talked about permanent legal residents. So I
think in the New York Times acknowledges he probably he
might have a point here. I think you can win
that case.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Has read my column of about.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Three or four weeks they stole it from you, I
should have know.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
I mean, I said Trump has a very valid argument
on birthright citizenship, and I went through the history of
the law and prove the point. And now said in
the New York Times he has a valid point.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Yeah, Well, if they would read Greg Jarred a little
bit more and maybe read just thenews dot Com and
our buddy John Solomon a little more. They might actually,
you know, break some news for ones, I said in
an interview yesterday, and I'm almost out of time.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Legacy media is dead, but they don't know it yet.
Am I right?
Speaker 5 (42:33):
Oh, You're completely right, hundred percent, And it's why people
increasingly are turning away from them. I mean, just look
at their ratings. There are other sources of news that
are far more reliable, and you just named a few,
like I think I'm part of that. You certainly are,
(42:54):
and I you know, people, this is a month you're a.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
Big part of it. I mentioned you and that's name interview,
my name.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
I appreciate the attribution and how we got the Russia
hoax right, we got Piza right. And I actually wrote
down a list and I read from it in the
middle of an interview because I knew it would come
up because it was about media. And I'm like, let
me tell you all the things you got wrong and
I got right, and my ensemble cast and Russia and
Pisa and all these other issues, and you played an
integral part and all of that.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Anyway, we appreciate you sticking around longer than we anticipated.
We weren't sure how long that was going to go.
Greg Jarrett, Fox News, legal analyst, best selling author, Thank you,
my friend.
Speaker 5 (43:37):
My thanks to you. I'm looking forward to the interview tonight.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
I hope you like it.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Part won my interview with Donald Trump, President Trump and
Elon Musk together talking about a lot of these issues. Yes,
we we asked the question about conflicts of interest. Yes,
we asked about what is this going to do to
Social Security and Medicare? Okay, we get that in and
then we talk about other departments. But you know, I
hope you enjoy I enjoyed doing and I'll put it
(44:04):
that way
