Speaker 1 (00:01):
I'm thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of
you for being with us. Write down our toll free
telephone number you want to be a part of the program.
It's eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn if you'd
like to join us. It is great to be back,
but what an incredible experience, and thanks to all of you.
You know, Linda was kidding me before, why don't you
just go and enjoy the trip. I'm like, the only
(00:24):
reason I'm on this trip is because of this audience
allowing me and putting me in a position that I
can report on this and I wanted to share it
with everybody. And she was mostly half kidding when she
said it. And throughout the course of the program, I
will go through a lot of what I learned. One
of the most important things that I've learned is and
(00:44):
somebody in the New York Post had a story about
I think it was Rich Lowry today about the Trump
the doctrine emerging. He seems to think is more related
to money, and I'm like, yeah, you're missing a very
big part of the equation here, which is I can
tell you this or start with this and believe that
everything is predicated on this. Maybe in past years decades,
(01:08):
there was a belief system that you can westernize some
countries in the Middle East, et cetera. That I could
tell you haven't been there. It's not going to happen.
And it should not be America's goal to tell other
countries how to live their lives. It should not be
our goal, however, insisting that they separate from radicalism and
(01:31):
help eradicate radicalism and not turn a turn a blind
eye towards radicalism. That is a prerequisite to any relationship
with the US. And similarly, the President was very very
clear as it relates to wanting these countries immediately, almost
(01:51):
on day one, challenging in Riad Saudi Arabia to join
the Abraham Accords, and the same thing in Qatar, and
the same thing in the UAE and Abu Dhabi. That
the President wants this, but the shear the desire is
definitely there, and and this is my interpretation of it,
(02:14):
there is such fear among these countries of Iran that
this is why the underreported story from Donald Trump's first term,
which is he had created an alliance with the with Israel,
the United States, with the Egyptians, Jordanians with the Saudis,
with the Emirates, with the Guitaris and and the UAE
(02:37):
against Iranian hegemony. That is very real and really the
root of their desire and their willingness to invest trillions
of dollars in our economy and have the best relationship
with the United States, because certainly they they could align
themselves with China, they could align themselves with Putin and Russia,
(02:59):
but they want want to be in business with the
US because they see the United States as their best opportunity.
And that was evidenced by this one business luncheon that
I was invited to, where every single it was a
who's who of American business. It was every major company
you can think of, and every private equity firm you
(03:20):
can think of, and every Wall Street firm you can
think of, all in the same room, all with the
wealthiest business people in Saudi Arabia, all of their foreign
ministers and cabinet members, and the Crown prints himself, et cetera.
And all of this is real. And when you add
up the money and how beneficial it will be to
(03:43):
this country and the hard working men and women in
this country, it is we're putting together a foundation. The
President is building a multifaceted foundation for American prosperity and success.
He's calling it the Golden Age, and just look at
the parts that are in place. We're going to be
(04:05):
coming to you all week about this big, beautiful one,
big beautiful bill, and it's going to be contentious, but
I think in the end it's going to be passed.
The President will absolutely have to involve himself. I will
deputize all of you in this audience at the appropriate
time with the appropriate names of the of the people
(04:25):
that need to understand. I mean, I go to Washington,
I do these town halls, and I say in every
single one of them, you all know you're not going
to get everything you want. They all say, we understand that.
You all know that this is important for the President's agenda.
Now put all the components together, the eight to ten whatever.
The final number is trillion trillion with a T, not millions,
(04:46):
not billions, trillions of dollars that are committed in the
next four years in investment in this country to build
out manufacturing, to create high paying career jobs for Americans,
but also benefiting our national security, building our pharmaceuticals here
our semiconductor ships here, automobiles here, on every level, it's
(05:09):
just great for our country. It is what I'm putting
America First is all about. It is not just rooted
in finances or money. Runs much deeper than that. There
is a belief system in an argument that certainly the
better the world does financially, and the more you can
eliminate poverty, and the less likely that people will want
(05:34):
to radicalize, that they might want a better life for themselves.
But the President was pressing very hard on choosing sides
and rejecting radicalism and not turning a blind eye towards it,
and so on, multi levels between economically and defense agreements
and so on and so forth. The President is moving expeditiously,
(05:54):
but put the pieces together energy, dominance, energy and dependence
that will help make America rich. There's never been a
case in history where we have cut taxes and not
benefited with more revenues to the federal government. That is
the one big beautiful bill that would be making the
Trump tax cuts permanent. That would be no tax on tips,
(06:15):
social security, or over time. That means the Republican parties
now the party of hard working men and women versus
the Democratic coastal elites that cater to you know, championing
the rights of Vibrago Garcia and illegal immigrants over your safety.
The party of defund dismantle nobail laws, the party of
(06:37):
championing the right of men to play women's sports. The
party that thinks it's a constitutional crisis if in fact
you eliminate waste, fraud and abuse. The things could not
be any more clear. So this is these are amazing
times we're living in. And I found it so cheap
and pathetic and ridiculous, this whole notion that that Donald Trump, uh,
(07:02):
you know, nobody wants to spend any time in this
industry that I work in media and do any research
or any work. The largest military base in the Middle
East was in Qatar. The Kataries have spent over eight
billion dollars on our military base, improving our military base.
(07:24):
It's not Theirs, it's ours eight billion, and we have
defense agreements. Do you realizeI all these countries, Saudi Arabia, Katar,
you A, they don't have military preparedness, they don't have
modern weaponry. It's not just that we sell them, we're
selling them also our technology, our ingenuity, and that is
(07:46):
they're very survival is based on it. So, you know,
four hundred million dollars when you're talking about eight billion
dollars being spent on our air base that nobody seemed
to ever care about, is a drop in the bucket.
And even some friends of mine, guys that are conservative,
just they haven't put two and two together, and I'm
kind of a little surprised by it. We have a
lot of news we've got to get to. We really do.
(08:09):
By the way, Chuck Schumer blaming Trump after a Mexican
Navy ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, how many times
have I said of the dog bites of the beast things.
If you're feeling sad, blame Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
We know what the table administration has been meddling in
US Coast Guard operations, from staffing to command and comms.
And I have the general sense of a doge dysfunction
in parts of the Coast Guard, to put it mildly,
After being fully briefed on last night's Brooklyn Bridge accident,
one thing is very clear. There are many more questions
(08:44):
than answers.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
We know, many more questions than answers anyway, So that's
Chuckie Schumer, who cares what he has to say. I mean,
I think he's probably on his way out, and he
doesn't even know it yet, won't get a lot of attention.
The President's just been unrelenting in wanting this war in
(09:06):
Europe to come to an end. I did have an opportunity,
both on the record and off the record, on my
interview on Air Force One with President Trump and then
off the record with him, which I won't disclose. He
is he is committed as ever to do everything humanly
possible to end this war, and he kind of knew,
(09:29):
he knows that it's going to take him and putin
to hammer this thing out, and he wants to end
the killing. Interesting Donald Trump, the Darth Vader evil in
our time according to the left and the legacy media mob. Anyway,
you know, he said that will mean redrawing the Ukraine
Russian borders. That's already been done, saving lives, ending billions
(09:52):
of dollars in aid. And he noted for the for
conditions negotiated between the two parties, it can only be
because of the details of the negotiation that only he
would know of. And they're going to start negotiations immediately
and the President's going to get actively involved himself, which
(10:13):
I think is very good. We'll get into this in
great specificity, in detail. But the Director of National Intelligence,
Tulsea Gabbert, I believe is correct. I mean, what James
Komi did with eighty six forty seven is beyond. It's unconscionable.
And maybe he thinks we're stupid. And I don't know
(10:34):
why this guy feels the need to constantly communicate with seashells.
You might recall in October twenty twenty four seashells that
were painted blue with the words vote Harris. I don't
think and the timing is, by the way, all too convenient.
Our friend Dan Bongino Cashpattel also issued very sharp public condemnations.
(10:57):
My understanding is is that a meeting of some ninety
minutes with the Secret Service took place with James Comy.
He is extraordinarily arrogant, and I think that most people
know that James Comy was warned not to use the
dirty Russian disinformation dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton. He
was warned about that he used. He signed three of
(11:17):
the four warrants. That's nine months worth the spying backdoor
spying on the Trump campaign, transition team, and presidency. This
is the guy. No reasonable prosecute or whatever prosecute anyway,
we'll get into that. I think you unfortunately fall into
a situation though, where you have to quote figure out intent.
This is why I've always had a problem with, you know,
(11:39):
with with hate crimes legislation, because you have to you
have to ascertain what's in people's head rather than what
they did. Although you cannot threaten a sitting president. Oh,
I had no idea that eighty six forty seven meant
get Trump. Uh, the President's still in a battle against
you know, the court system. I mean, this is the
(12:00):
one time that I really don't understand the Supreme Court
and the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight. It
was used by four prior presidents and I really for
the life of me, and they had a Supreme Court
decision nineteen forty eight that upheld the law and went
as far as to say that after the president makes
that decision, that it is not subject to judicial review.
(12:23):
It makes no sense. Even Jeffrey Tubin said, the Supreme
Court appears stumped on the issue. I think that probably
is about right. Every federal judge should not have more
power enumerated powers than a president of the United States.
It is that simple. And Article two powers are very
very clear, and these are designated terrorist organizations, especially in
(12:47):
the case of Trende Aragua or MS thirteen. But this
is now, this is now the left's latest weapon of
lawfair against Donald Trump. We'll get into this in a
few more minutes. House Republicans focused on one thing this week,
and that is their big, beautiful bill. Let me just
warn you all, it's because of how this process and
(13:12):
this Arcanian rule archaic rule rather in the US Senate
known as reconciliation. There are very rigid rules that need
to be applied to make this work in the United
States Senate. Every time I've done town halls with either
the House of Representatives or US Senators, they all know
(13:34):
and they all acknowledge that they're not going to get
everything they want. But we will get tax cuts permanent.
We will get no tax on tip, social security or overtime.
We will get money for the border, we will get
money for the next generation of weaponry, and we will
get the beginning of the economic turnaround that President Trump
is desperately trying to get which will help all of
(13:55):
them in a midterm, and they'd buck the trend and
hold on to the House, which is going to be critical.
Otherwise Donald Trump is going to be impeached probably fifteen times.
So we are probably going to need to call the
White House switchboard at some point during this week as
we roll along eight hundred and nine point one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program.
(14:17):
So it's really a make or break. My guess is
you're gonna hear a lot of noise this week. It's
gonna be troublesome, You'll get worried, and in the end
it's going to pass. That's my prediction. I hope I'm right.
And you know, there's a great piece in the New
York Post. G piers in Congress need to stomp on
the Prima Donna attitude and hang together well or they're
(14:41):
going to hang separately, is what I was saying to them.
You will succeed or you will fail together. But it does.
It did pass a key House hurdle. There were four
members of the committee that voted present. And I think
it's really going to take Donald Trump to get on
p Both Kevin McCarthy is right, ripping GOP hardliners for
(15:03):
a real misstep on this delay. We waited long enough.
If these people, you know, some of them have safe districts,
so they come from a very different position than people
in marginal districts that you know, we are going to
need if we're going to hang on to the majority.
You want to hang on to the majority because Democrats
get power impeach in beach in beach and beach and peach.
(15:30):
They want one last point on this James Comy issue
because I think it's kind of important. I think that's
actually very important. And you know, remember Martha Stewart, you
know it was responsible. Remember Martha Stewart. Is actually met
her on two occasions and told her, I admired how
tough she was when they were going after it. You
(15:51):
know the person that was going after her that was
James Comy, because he was the lead prosecutor for the
New York Southern District when they put Martha Stewart in
jail at sixty three years of age, and it was
like a nothing case. It really wasn't. And it's the
same call me. By the way, that General Flynn quote
(16:11):
supposedly lied to who call me sent to the White
House in a bid to frame Trump on the bogus
Russia gay charges. Remember all that. Luckily Comy's attempt to
frame Flynn was exposed before that was too late. But
there's a documentary delving into the life and legacy of
Martha Smith. It was on Foxnews dot com. And I mean,
(16:33):
she was like the first billionaire female billionaire in nineteen
ninety nine. And she says, it was so horrifying to
me that I had to go through that to be
a trophy for these idiots in the US Attorney's office,
he says in this Netflix documentary, and Comy was the
lead prosecutor. Now Comy's response is and she said, those
(16:55):
prosecutors should have you know, she said, I was I
was a prominent woman. I was the first billionaire woman
in America. And when the charges were brought against her,
he goes and he said, this is a case about lying,
lying to the FBI, lying to the SEC, lying to investors.
This is conduct that will not be tolerated. Martha Stewart
(17:17):
is being prosecuted not because of who she is, but
what she did. Meanwhile, the attorney for Stuart questioned whether
the charges were filed for publicity purposes or because Martha
is a celebrity, but who sends to five months in prison?
He made next to no money on this deal. I
mean it was like a pittance to her. It was
(17:38):
just to humiliate, which unfortunately, this is why we talk
so often about weaponization and why you can't have the
weaponization of a justice system. He just can't. I mean,
it's got to stop. Anyway, Moving on other things. Look,
there's a lot going on. We'll deal more with this
at the top of the hour. Greg Murphy's more charitable
(17:59):
than and I will be. He's a congressman and a
medical doctor. But I'll tell you a couple of things
that came out about Joe Biden and will also play
this later. He was not placed under oath during his
special Prosecutor interview with Robert Hurr. And now that it's
come out during the interview, why wasn't he placed under oath?
Why not? You know? When Bill Clinton was interviewed by
(18:22):
Ken Starr's office, he was under oath. One of the
articles of impeachment against Clinton was perjuring himself with stars prosecutors,
and in the interview, knocking to you can tell this
guy was a cognitive mess. We'll get back to that
in a second. Here's the problem. If you do any
(18:43):
rudimentary amount of health checking and you're a mail, you
get something called a PSA score. And I happen to
have a fairly low range of zero point eight or
nine to one point one or two, and one year,
just out of nowhere kind of doubled it and I
ended up getting a biopsy because my doctor said that
that is unusual for something to go up, and he
(19:05):
wanted to get on top of it. Then it went
back down and stayed back down now for over a decade,
and I'm still in that my normal range. But it
is it is the earliest indication. And he even wrote
me earlier said I've never seen a glease since score
of nine. Ever, and medical experts all over the place
are quick to flag. You know, how is it possible
(19:26):
he was diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer that has
already spread to his bones, especially given that the disease
is easily detected with blood work. I mean, it's the
PSA and usually most people have a baseline. Now I
have friends of mine whose baseline is higher than my baseline,
but that is their baseline. You had doctor Zeke Emmanuel
(19:48):
saying he probably had prostate cancer at the start of
his presidency, you know, and how they didn't pick up
on this. It really would be too simple tests. And
you know, some are questions whether or not this was
Why would you not look I traveled with the president
last week. I can tell you there are doctors around
(20:09):
him at all hours of the day and night, all hours.
And that's every president, Democrat, Republican, doesn't matter. Access to
the finest, the best medical care. And in the case
of prostate cancer, it happens to be something most men
will die with, but not die from. You know, hours
(20:29):
before Biden revealed he had prostate cancer, James Clyburn was
out there insisting that the eighty two year old was
fit to serve another four years. I'm like, okay, whatever,
Jadie Vance is right and saying that the that Biden
should have told the American people about his prostate cancer
when he was first diagnosed. Why didn't the American people
have more accurate information? That's right too. Now, with all
(20:50):
of that said, I wish I wish him the best,
but it did not need to metastasize it. There are
some doctors saying it could have taken ten years to metastasize.
They have a thing called watchful waiting when it comes
to people that are diagnosed with prostaate cancer, just because
it's it's not as quite as aggressive as his. But
(21:13):
it makes no sense at all that this does not
make sense, just like his cognitive state issues make no sense,
the President said. Malaney and I are sadden to hear
about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest
and best wishes to Jill in the family and wish
Joe a fast and successful recovery. But this is an
aggressive form of prostaate cancer that is already metastasized to
(21:35):
the bone, and this thing is now a thousand times
harder than it would ever need to be. It's just sad.
A lot of medical every medical person I talked to,
said that they were taken aback that it was so
far advanced. If you look at Google, for example, AI
(21:56):
it says prostaate cancer is diagnosed before it metastasizes, it
takes several years for it to spread to other parts
of the body. In most cases, slow growing cancer may
be combined to the prostate gland for years, and some
studies have shown that PSA levels indicate the risk of metastasis,
especially if the levels were at a certain point. This
is so rudimentary, but you know what, think about it.
(22:20):
Did we really ever get the truth about him? Even
Van Jones is now saying that Biden's cognitive dementia cover
up was a crime against the republic. Now the only
thing I would say gently at least he's saying it.
But he and David Axelrod kind of came as close
as anybody on the Democratic side of stating the obvious,
(22:42):
but they didn't want to be the ones to do it.
But in reality, we knew before twenty twenty. We took
a lot of heat for it, and it was a
cover up. Why is this critical Because the President of
the United States is mentally incapacitated, ognitively incapacitated. He is
(23:02):
our commander in chief. He was not up to the job.
And these people knew about it. They knew about it
for the longest time. They exposed it. Anyone that dared
talk about it or show videos of him like yours
truly was excoriated for doing it. But this is a
culture of concealment that was within the administration, and yet
(23:25):
James Clyburn still believes he could have served a second term.
I don't think so. And that was and we'll play
it later. But it was clear in the audio tapes
about all the memory life he didn't even know when
his own son died. It was so sad he didn't know,
and they treated him with kid gloves in this in
this her interview, you know, there was an interesting piece
(23:48):
I saw from somewhere, you know, and this is where
the media legacy media died. They'd this idiot over at
the Washington Post and anyway, you see that everybody knew
about the decline. Anybody that denies his flat out lying, well,
I didn't know about it till that debate. You're lying,
(24:09):
I would say, you're lying. Whoever's saying that, you know,
look at him wandering all from a group of world leaders.
Come on, Joe, come back to the group, or him
shaking air, or him not knowing where to go, or
him not being able to get through a press conference
or a speech. Ever, it's you know, the New York
Posts had a meander in chief and then the Washington
(24:31):
Post quote fact checker, this idiot, Glenn Kessler, who's going
to fact check the fact checker. He faked Biden videos
and raptures right wing media, but deeply misled. No, we
told the truth. And you know, in this case, this
guy Kessler who thinks he's the king of truth, who
(24:51):
frankly is nothing but a hack leftist Democrat, as evidenced
by things that he said about me, they'd been just
dead wrong about simply wrong. On the economy, we got
some good news. April's budget surplus was the second largest
in US history. The government collected eight hundred and fifty
point two billion in receipts while spending five hundred and
(25:12):
ninety one point eight billion, resulting in a budget surplus
of two hundred and fifty eight point four billion. That's
not just any surplus. It's the first monthly surplus of
the fiscal year twenty twenty five, which began in October
twenty twenty four, the second largest monthly surplus in US history,
So this is a big deal. Retail sales, we learned
(25:35):
edged up last month after March was upwardly revised to
one point seven percent. The Commerce Department Census Bureau said,
more good economic news. We know the grocery prices saw
their largest decline in five years. Gas prices now fell
for the third month in a row. I'm seeing that
big time at the pump. Egg prices saw the largest
(25:56):
one month decline in more than four decades. Workers real
wages were up one point nine percent. Prices for airfare, energy, hotels,
used vehicles all down compared to last year. I mean,
good things are happening on the economy, and Treasury Secretary
Bessett was right this Moody Mott. It was a minor,
one little inch down down shift. It's a lagging indicator
(26:20):
of US credit downgrade. That will my prediction, that will
be fixed very very quickly. That's what I'm predicting we'll see.
And then everything the President has in terms of the
economy for energy, the trillions of dollars in manufacturing that
will be coming to America from countries and companies that
are going to be building here. That is going to
(26:40):
help the people that do make this country great, hardworking
men and women. They're the ones that make the country great.
The radical left has no idea what they're doing. We have.
I guess Tim Walls is delivering the commencement address at
the University of Minnesota Law School. You know, being ripped
for us seeing you know the term. Some would say, boy,
(27:02):
this is getting way too political for a commencement address,
he said, But I would argue I wouldn't be honoring
my oath if I didn't address this head on. I'm
gonna start with the flashing red light. Donald Trump's modern
day gestapo here we go works so well for him
in the final arguments of this campaign. Nazi, fascist, racist
hitler Stala mussolinim I as will stick with what fails
(27:26):
and fails dramatically. Chris Murphy, Connecticut, we have a madman
in the Oval office because DEM's failed to oust Biden.
Oh now they're all mad that they all knew Biden
was a mess. They only have themselves to blame. Hillary
Clinton appears to have not learned a thing from her
twenty sixteen basket of Deplorable's remarks and you know, we
(27:47):
don't need to be a handmaiden to the patriarchy. That's
what she say. Kind of eliminates every woman on the
other side of the aisle except for very few. Clinton's
sa just you know what's happening, And the New York
Times actually got something right. Is every top Democrat running
(28:07):
for president. The answer is yes, here's their problem. You're
in the middle of a civil war. David Hogg, fellow
vice chair of the Democrats, is warning Democrats he's not
being honest with you. He's talking about the you know,
they're now openly fighting. Every single day Pole comes out.
(28:28):
The impact that Donald Trump's comeback is as lower Democratic
morale and their polls to the lowest levels they've ever seen.
Chuck Schumer takes the cake at seventeen percent Democrats in
the load to mid twenties. They have let the far
left of their party, the Jasmine Crocketts squad, AOC's Grandpop
(28:49):
Bernie take over that party, you know. And then they
got Bruce Springsteen. A lot of good he did for
a lot of good. All these actors did, all these
singers did, They didn't do anything. They had no impact
on the election. They tried their hardest to destroy this man.
They threw everything at him. They brought in every actor,
(29:10):
every musician, and they lost, and they lost because they
deserved to lose. And all those people lied and covered
up for Joe too, because they all knew better.
I'm thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of
you for being with us. Write down our toll free
telephone number you want to be a part of the program.
It's eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn if you'd
like to join us. It is great to be back,
but what an incredible experience, and thanks to all of you.
You know, Linda was kidding me before, why don't you
just go and enjoy the trip. I'm like, the only
(00:24):
reason I'm on this trip is because of this audience
allowing me and putting me in a position that I
can report on this and I wanted to share it
with everybody. And she was mostly half kidding when she
said it. And throughout the course of the program, I
will go through a lot of what I learned. One
of the most important things that I've learned is and
(00:44):
somebody in the New York Post had a story about
I think it was Rich Lowry today about the Trump
the doctrine emerging. He seems to think is more related
to money, and I'm like, yeah, you're missing a very
big part of the equation here, which is I can
tell you this or start with this and believe that
everything is predicated on this. Maybe in past years decades,
(01:08):
there was a belief system that you can westernize some
countries in the Middle East, et cetera. That I could
tell you haven't been there. It's not going to happen.
And it should not be America's goal to tell other
countries how to live their lives. It should not be
our goal, however, insisting that they separate from radicalism and
(01:31):
help eradicate radicalism and not turn a turn a blind
eye towards radicalism. That is a prerequisite to any relationship
with the US. And similarly, the President was very very
clear as it relates to wanting these countries immediately, almost
(01:51):
on day one, challenging in Riad Saudi Arabia to join
the Abraham Accords, and the same thing in Qatar, and
the same thing in the UAE and Abu Dhabi. That
the President wants this, but the shear the desire is
definitely there, and and this is my interpretation of it,
(02:14):
there is such fear among these countries of Iran that
this is why the underreported story from Donald Trump's first term,
which is he had created an alliance with the with Israel,
the United States, with the Egyptians, Jordanians with the Saudis,
with the Emirates, with the Guitaris and and the UAE
(02:37):
against Iranian hegemony. That is very real and really the
root of their desire and their willingness to invest trillions
of dollars in our economy and have the best relationship
with the United States, because certainly they they could align
themselves with China, they could align themselves with Putin and Russia,
(02:59):
but they want want to be in business with the
US because they see the United States as their best opportunity.
And that was evidenced by this one business luncheon that
I was invited to, where every single it was a
who's who of American business. It was every major company
you can think of, and every private equity firm you
(03:20):
can think of, and every Wall Street firm you can
think of, all in the same room, all with the
wealthiest business people in Saudi Arabia, all of their foreign
ministers and cabinet members, and the Crown prints himself, et cetera.
And all of this is real. And when you add
up the money and how beneficial it will be to
(03:43):
this country and the hard working men and women in
this country, it is we're putting together a foundation. The
President is building a multifaceted foundation for American prosperity and success.
He's calling it the Golden Age, and just look at
the parts that are in place. We're going to be
(04:05):
coming to you all week about this big, beautiful one,
big beautiful bill, and it's going to be contentious, but
I think in the end it's going to be passed.
The President will absolutely have to involve himself. I will
deputize all of you in this audience at the appropriate
time with the appropriate names of the of the people
(04:25):
that need to understand. I mean, I go to Washington,
I do these town halls, and I say in every
single one of them, you all know you're not going
to get everything you want. They all say, we understand that.
You all know that this is important for the President's agenda.
Now put all the components together, the eight to ten whatever.
The final number is trillion trillion with a T, not millions,
(04:46):
not billions, trillions of dollars that are committed in the
next four years in investment in this country to build
out manufacturing, to create high paying career jobs for Americans,
but also benefiting our national security, building our pharmaceuticals here
our semiconductor ships here, automobiles here, on every level, it's
(05:09):
just great for our country. It is what I'm putting
America First is all about. It is not just rooted
in finances or money. Runs much deeper than that. There
is a belief system in an argument that certainly the
better the world does financially, and the more you can
eliminate poverty, and the less likely that people will want
(05:34):
to radicalize, that they might want a better life for themselves.
But the President was pressing very hard on choosing sides
and rejecting radicalism and not turning a blind eye towards it,
and so on, multi levels between economically and defense agreements
and so on and so forth. The President is moving expeditiously,
(05:54):
but put the pieces together energy, dominance, energy and dependence
that will help make America rich. There's never been a
case in history where we have cut taxes and not
benefited with more revenues to the federal government. That is
the one big beautiful bill that would be making the
Trump tax cuts permanent. That would be no tax on tips,
(06:15):
social security, or over time. That means the Republican parties
now the party of hard working men and women versus
the Democratic coastal elites that cater to you know, championing
the rights of Vibrago Garcia and illegal immigrants over your safety.
The party of defund dismantle nobail laws, the party of
(06:37):
championing the right of men to play women's sports. The
party that thinks it's a constitutional crisis if in fact
you eliminate waste, fraud and abuse. The things could not
be any more clear. So this is these are amazing
times we're living in. And I found it so cheap
and pathetic and ridiculous, this whole notion that that Donald Trump, uh,
(07:02):
you know, nobody wants to spend any time in this
industry that I work in media and do any research
or any work. The largest military base in the Middle
East was in Qatar. The Kataries have spent over eight
billion dollars on our military base, improving our military base.
(07:24):
It's not Theirs, it's ours eight billion, and we have
defense agreements. Do you realizeI all these countries, Saudi Arabia, Katar,
you A, they don't have military preparedness, they don't have
modern weaponry. It's not just that we sell them, we're
selling them also our technology, our ingenuity, and that is
(07:46):
they're very survival is based on it. So, you know,
four hundred million dollars when you're talking about eight billion
dollars being spent on our air base that nobody seemed
to ever care about, is a drop in the bucket.
And even some friends of mine, guys that are conservative,
just they haven't put two and two together, and I'm
kind of a little surprised by it. We have a
lot of news we've got to get to. We really do.
(08:09):
By the way, Chuck Schumer blaming Trump after a Mexican
Navy ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, how many times
have I said of the dog bites of the beast things.
If you're feeling sad, blame Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
We know what the table administration has been meddling in
US Coast Guard operations, from staffing to command and comms.
And I have the general sense of a doge dysfunction
in parts of the Coast Guard, to put it mildly,
After being fully briefed on last night's Brooklyn Bridge accident,
one thing is very clear. There are many more questions
(08:44):
than answers.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
We know, many more questions than answers anyway, So that's
Chuckie Schumer, who cares what he has to say. I mean,
I think he's probably on his way out, and he
doesn't even know it yet, won't get a lot of attention.
The President's just been unrelenting in wanting this war in
(09:06):
Europe to come to an end. I did have an opportunity,
both on the record and off the record, on my
interview on Air Force One with President Trump and then
off the record with him, which I won't disclose. He
is he is committed as ever to do everything humanly
possible to end this war, and he kind of knew,
(09:29):
he knows that it's going to take him and putin
to hammer this thing out, and he wants to end
the killing. Interesting Donald Trump, the Darth Vader evil in
our time according to the left and the legacy media mob. Anyway,
you know, he said that will mean redrawing the Ukraine
Russian borders. That's already been done, saving lives, ending billions
(09:52):
of dollars in aid. And he noted for the for
conditions negotiated between the two parties, it can only be
because of the details of the negotiation that only he
would know of. And they're going to start negotiations immediately
and the President's going to get actively involved himself, which
(10:13):
I think is very good. We'll get into this in
great specificity, in detail. But the Director of National Intelligence,
Tulsea Gabbert, I believe is correct. I mean, what James
Komi did with eighty six forty seven is beyond. It's unconscionable.
And maybe he thinks we're stupid. And I don't know
(10:34):
why this guy feels the need to constantly communicate with seashells.
You might recall in October twenty twenty four seashells that
were painted blue with the words vote Harris. I don't
think and the timing is, by the way, all too convenient.
Our friend Dan Bongino Cashpattel also issued very sharp public condemnations.
(10:57):
My understanding is is that a meeting of some ninety
minutes with the Secret Service took place with James Comy.
He is extraordinarily arrogant, and I think that most people
know that James Comy was warned not to use the
dirty Russian disinformation dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton. He
was warned about that he used. He signed three of
(11:17):
the four warrants. That's nine months worth the spying backdoor
spying on the Trump campaign, transition team, and presidency. This
is the guy. No reasonable prosecute or whatever prosecute anyway,
we'll get into that. I think you unfortunately fall into
a situation though, where you have to quote figure out intent.
This is why I've always had a problem with, you know,
(11:39):
with with hate crimes legislation, because you have to you
have to ascertain what's in people's head rather than what
they did. Although you cannot threaten a sitting president. Oh,
I had no idea that eighty six forty seven meant
get Trump. Uh, the President's still in a battle against
you know, the court system. I mean, this is the
(12:00):
one time that I really don't understand the Supreme Court
and the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight. It
was used by four prior presidents and I really for
the life of me, and they had a Supreme Court
decision nineteen forty eight that upheld the law and went
as far as to say that after the president makes
that decision, that it is not subject to judicial review.
(12:23):
It makes no sense. Even Jeffrey Tubin said, the Supreme
Court appears stumped on the issue. I think that probably
is about right. Every federal judge should not have more
power enumerated powers than a president of the United States.
It is that simple. And Article two powers are very
very clear, and these are designated terrorist organizations, especially in
(12:47):
the case of Trende Aragua or MS thirteen. But this
is now, this is now the left's latest weapon of
lawfair against Donald Trump. We'll get into this in a
few more minutes. House Republicans focused on one thing this week,
and that is their big, beautiful bill. Let me just
warn you all, it's because of how this process and
(13:12):
this Arcanian rule archaic rule rather in the US Senate
known as reconciliation. There are very rigid rules that need
to be applied to make this work in the United
States Senate. Every time I've done town halls with either
the House of Representatives or US Senators, they all know
(13:34):
and they all acknowledge that they're not going to get
everything they want. But we will get tax cuts permanent.
We will get no tax on tip, social security or overtime.
We will get money for the border, we will get
money for the next generation of weaponry, and we will
get the beginning of the economic turnaround that President Trump
is desperately trying to get which will help all of
(13:55):
them in a midterm, and they'd buck the trend and
hold on to the House, which is going to be critical.
Otherwise Donald Trump is going to be impeached probably fifteen times.
So we are probably going to need to call the
White House switchboard at some point during this week as
we roll along eight hundred and nine point one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program.
(14:17):
So it's really a make or break. My guess is
you're gonna hear a lot of noise this week. It's
gonna be troublesome, You'll get worried, and in the end
it's going to pass. That's my prediction. I hope I'm right.
And you know, there's a great piece in the New
York Post. G piers in Congress need to stomp on
the Prima Donna attitude and hang together well or they're
(14:41):
going to hang separately, is what I was saying to them.
You will succeed or you will fail together. But it does.
It did pass a key House hurdle. There were four
members of the committee that voted present. And I think
it's really going to take Donald Trump to get on
p Both Kevin McCarthy is right, ripping GOP hardliners for
(15:03):
a real misstep on this delay. We waited long enough.
If these people, you know, some of them have safe districts,
so they come from a very different position than people
in marginal districts that you know, we are going to
need if we're going to hang on to the majority.
You want to hang on to the majority because Democrats
get power impeach in beach in beach and beach and peach.
(15:30):
They want one last point on this James Comy issue
because I think it's kind of important. I think that's
actually very important. And you know, remember Martha Stewart, you
know it was responsible. Remember Martha Stewart. Is actually met
her on two occasions and told her, I admired how
tough she was when they were going after it. You
(15:51):
know the person that was going after her that was
James Comy, because he was the lead prosecutor for the
New York Southern District when they put Martha Stewart in
jail at sixty three years of age, and it was
like a nothing case. It really wasn't. And it's the
same call me. By the way, that General Flynn quote
(16:11):
supposedly lied to who call me sent to the White
House in a bid to frame Trump on the bogus
Russia gay charges. Remember all that. Luckily Comy's attempt to
frame Flynn was exposed before that was too late. But
there's a documentary delving into the life and legacy of
Martha Smith. It was on Foxnews dot com. And I mean,
(16:33):
she was like the first billionaire female billionaire in nineteen
ninety nine. And she says, it was so horrifying to
me that I had to go through that to be
a trophy for these idiots in the US Attorney's office,
he says in this Netflix documentary, and Comy was the
lead prosecutor. Now Comy's response is and she said, those
(16:55):
prosecutors should have you know, she said, I was I
was a prominent woman. I was the first billionaire woman
in America. And when the charges were brought against her,
he goes and he said, this is a case about lying,
lying to the FBI, lying to the SEC, lying to investors.
This is conduct that will not be tolerated. Martha Stewart
(17:17):
is being prosecuted not because of who she is, but
what she did. Meanwhile, the attorney for Stuart questioned whether
the charges were filed for publicity purposes or because Martha
is a celebrity, but who sends to five months in prison?
He made next to no money on this deal. I
mean it was like a pittance to her. It was
(17:38):
just to humiliate, which unfortunately, this is why we talk
so often about weaponization and why you can't have the
weaponization of a justice system. He just can't. I mean,
it's got to stop. Anyway, Moving on other things. Look,
there's a lot going on. We'll deal more with this
at the top of the hour. Greg Murphy's more charitable
(17:59):
than and I will be. He's a congressman and a
medical doctor. But I'll tell you a couple of things
that came out about Joe Biden and will also play
this later. He was not placed under oath during his
special Prosecutor interview with Robert Hurr. And now that it's
come out during the interview, why wasn't he placed under oath?
Why not? You know? When Bill Clinton was interviewed by
(18:22):
Ken Starr's office, he was under oath. One of the
articles of impeachment against Clinton was perjuring himself with stars prosecutors,
and in the interview, knocking to you can tell this
guy was a cognitive mess. We'll get back to that
in a second. Here's the problem. If you do any
(18:43):
rudimentary amount of health checking and you're a mail, you
get something called a PSA score. And I happen to
have a fairly low range of zero point eight or
nine to one point one or two, and one year,
just out of nowhere kind of doubled it and I
ended up getting a biopsy because my doctor said that
that is unusual for something to go up, and he
(19:05):
wanted to get on top of it. Then it went
back down and stayed back down now for over a decade,
and I'm still in that my normal range. But it
is it is the earliest indication. And he even wrote
me earlier said I've never seen a glease since score
of nine. Ever, and medical experts all over the place
are quick to flag. You know, how is it possible
(19:26):
he was diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer that has
already spread to his bones, especially given that the disease
is easily detected with blood work. I mean, it's the
PSA and usually most people have a baseline. Now I
have friends of mine whose baseline is higher than my baseline,
but that is their baseline. You had doctor Zeke Emmanuel
(19:48):
saying he probably had prostate cancer at the start of
his presidency, you know, and how they didn't pick up
on this. It really would be too simple tests. And
you know, some are questions whether or not this was
Why would you not look I traveled with the president
last week. I can tell you there are doctors around
(20:09):
him at all hours of the day and night, all hours.
And that's every president, Democrat, Republican, doesn't matter. Access to
the finest, the best medical care. And in the case
of prostate cancer, it happens to be something most men
will die with, but not die from. You know, hours
(20:29):
before Biden revealed he had prostate cancer, James Clyburn was
out there insisting that the eighty two year old was
fit to serve another four years. I'm like, okay, whatever,
Jadie Vance is right and saying that the that Biden
should have told the American people about his prostate cancer
when he was first diagnosed. Why didn't the American people
have more accurate information? That's right too. Now, with all
(20:50):
of that said, I wish I wish him the best,
but it did not need to metastasize it. There are
some doctors saying it could have taken ten years to metastasize.
They have a thing called watchful waiting when it comes
to people that are diagnosed with prostaate cancer, just because
it's it's not as quite as aggressive as his. But
(21:13):
it makes no sense at all that this does not
make sense, just like his cognitive state issues make no sense,
the President said. Malaney and I are sadden to hear
about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest
and best wishes to Jill in the family and wish
Joe a fast and successful recovery. But this is an
aggressive form of prostaate cancer that is already metastasized to
(21:35):
the bone, and this thing is now a thousand times
harder than it would ever need to be. It's just sad.
A lot of medical every medical person I talked to,
said that they were taken aback that it was so
far advanced. If you look at Google, for example, AI
(21:56):
it says prostaate cancer is diagnosed before it metastasizes, it
takes several years for it to spread to other parts
of the body. In most cases, slow growing cancer may
be combined to the prostate gland for years, and some
studies have shown that PSA levels indicate the risk of metastasis,
especially if the levels were at a certain point. This
is so rudimentary, but you know what, think about it.
(22:20):
Did we really ever get the truth about him? Even
Van Jones is now saying that Biden's cognitive dementia cover
up was a crime against the republic. Now the only
thing I would say gently at least he's saying it.
But he and David Axelrod kind of came as close
as anybody on the Democratic side of stating the obvious,
(22:42):
but they didn't want to be the ones to do it.
But in reality, we knew before twenty twenty. We took
a lot of heat for it, and it was a
cover up. Why is this critical Because the President of
the United States is mentally incapacitated, ognitively incapacitated. He is
(23:02):
our commander in chief. He was not up to the job.
And these people knew about it. They knew about it
for the longest time. They exposed it. Anyone that dared
talk about it or show videos of him like yours
truly was excoriated for doing it. But this is a
culture of concealment that was within the administration, and yet
(23:25):
James Clyburn still believes he could have served a second term.
I don't think so. And that was and we'll play
it later. But it was clear in the audio tapes
about all the memory life he didn't even know when
his own son died. It was so sad he didn't know,
and they treated him with kid gloves in this in
this her interview, you know, there was an interesting piece
(23:48):
I saw from somewhere, you know, and this is where
the media legacy media died. They'd this idiot over at
the Washington Post and anyway, you see that everybody knew
about the decline. Anybody that denies his flat out lying, well,
I didn't know about it till that debate. You're lying,
(24:09):
I would say, you're lying. Whoever's saying that, you know,
look at him wandering all from a group of world leaders.
Come on, Joe, come back to the group, or him
shaking air, or him not knowing where to go, or
him not being able to get through a press conference
or a speech. Ever, it's you know, the New York
Posts had a meander in chief and then the Washington
(24:31):
Post quote fact checker, this idiot, Glenn Kessler, who's going
to fact check the fact checker. He faked Biden videos
and raptures right wing media, but deeply misled. No, we
told the truth. And you know, in this case, this
guy Kessler who thinks he's the king of truth, who
(24:51):
frankly is nothing but a hack leftist Democrat, as evidenced
by things that he said about me, they'd been just
dead wrong about simply wrong. On the economy, we got
some good news. April's budget surplus was the second largest
in US history. The government collected eight hundred and fifty
point two billion in receipts while spending five hundred and
(25:12):
ninety one point eight billion, resulting in a budget surplus
of two hundred and fifty eight point four billion. That's
not just any surplus. It's the first monthly surplus of
the fiscal year twenty twenty five, which began in October
twenty twenty four, the second largest monthly surplus in US history,
So this is a big deal. Retail sales, we learned
(25:35):
edged up last month after March was upwardly revised to
one point seven percent. The Commerce Department Census Bureau said,
more good economic news. We know the grocery prices saw
their largest decline in five years. Gas prices now fell
for the third month in a row. I'm seeing that
big time at the pump. Egg prices saw the largest
(25:56):
one month decline in more than four decades. Workers real
wages were up one point nine percent. Prices for airfare, energy, hotels,
used vehicles all down compared to last year. I mean,
good things are happening on the economy, and Treasury Secretary
Bessett was right this Moody Mott. It was a minor,
one little inch down down shift. It's a lagging indicator
(26:20):
of US credit downgrade. That will my prediction, that will
be fixed very very quickly. That's what I'm predicting we'll see.
And then everything the President has in terms of the
economy for energy, the trillions of dollars in manufacturing that
will be coming to America from countries and companies that
are going to be building here. That is going to
(26:40):
help the people that do make this country great, hardworking
men and women. They're the ones that make the country great.
The radical left has no idea what they're doing. We have.
I guess Tim Walls is delivering the commencement address at
the University of Minnesota Law School. You know, being ripped
for us seeing you know the term. Some would say, boy,
(27:02):
this is getting way too political for a commencement address,
he said, But I would argue I wouldn't be honoring
my oath if I didn't address this head on. I'm
gonna start with the flashing red light. Donald Trump's modern
day gestapo here we go works so well for him
in the final arguments of this campaign. Nazi, fascist, racist
hitler Stala mussolinim I as will stick with what fails
(27:26):
and fails dramatically. Chris Murphy, Connecticut, we have a madman
in the Oval office because DEM's failed to oust Biden.
Oh now they're all mad that they all knew Biden
was a mess. They only have themselves to blame. Hillary
Clinton appears to have not learned a thing from her
twenty sixteen basket of Deplorable's remarks and you know, we
(27:47):
don't need to be a handmaiden to the patriarchy. That's
what she say. Kind of eliminates every woman on the
other side of the aisle except for very few. Clinton's
sa just you know what's happening, And the New York
Times actually got something right. Is every top Democrat running
(28:07):
for president. The answer is yes, here's their problem. You're
in the middle of a civil war. David Hogg, fellow
vice chair of the Democrats, is warning Democrats he's not
being honest with you. He's talking about the you know,
they're now openly fighting. Every single day Pole comes out.
(28:28):
The impact that Donald Trump's comeback is as lower Democratic
morale and their polls to the lowest levels they've ever seen.
Chuck Schumer takes the cake at seventeen percent Democrats in
the load to mid twenties. They have let the far
left of their party, the Jasmine Crocketts squad, AOC's Grandpop
(28:49):
Bernie take over that party, you know. And then they
got Bruce Springsteen. A lot of good he did for
a lot of good. All these actors did, all these
singers did, They didn't do anything. They had no impact
on the election. They tried their hardest to destroy this man.
They threw everything at him. They brought in every actor,
(29:10):
every musician, and they lost, and they lost because they
deserved to lose. And all those people lied and covered
up for Joe too, because they all knew better.
