Speaker 1 (00:02):
Did China install our president? Talk about that. Miranda Devine
is going to join us to give us the latest
and greatest on her interview with Scott since maybe some
foreign policy matters, all that and more coming up when
I'm writing.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Now, let's talk.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Let's talk about the past, shall we. Not ancient history
at all, but let's discuss something because I just want
to rewind. Just let's just stay with me here. Twenty nineteen,
Remember twenty nineteen, not that long ago. Of course, twenty nineteen,
Donald Trump was president. We'll go January twenty nineteen, the
(00:51):
very beginning of twenty nineteen. Donald Trump is president. It's
his first term. Obviously, the economy is going gangbus, absolutely gangbusters.
And if you were anybody in politics whose experience with
politics at all, and you're looking at Donald Trump's economic numbers,
(01:11):
just his economic numbers, you're thinking, this guy is going
to get re elected, And just stay with me. We're
going somewhere with this. Presidents get reelected when they have
good economies. It's just one of those things that is
a rule in American politics. It's very, very hard to
get out a sitting president to have him lose his
(01:34):
reelection bid. Once you're there, it's easier to stay there.
But presidents with relatively stable doesn't even have to be
going gangbusters, but pretty stable, solid economies, they get reelected,
can't get them, can't get rid of them. But the
economy wasn't solid by the time his reelection came around.
(01:57):
What happened there? Covid? We got a virus, America got
a virus, a virus that a bunch of quacky people.
And look, Donald Trump himself participated in this, I get that.
But a bunch of quacky people decided that the world's
economy should simply stop moving in response to this virus.
(02:19):
You see, it was a virus and a bunch of people, scientists, doctors,
really smart people. They decided that kids shouldn't go to school,
you shouldn't go to work, restaurants should close. Of course,
you can go buy liquor. But do you remember all that?
Of course, now couple things. Where do we get that virus?
(02:40):
Where did it come from? China? Okay, where do we
get the idea that shutting down a country on purpose
was an appropriate response to a virus? Because do keep
in mind, I know I'm not trying to rehash COVID here,
But keep in mind that idea is completely bonkers and
has been rejected many times throughout history. Yes, portions of
(03:04):
your economy will shut down when there's a virus, when
there's some kind of a sickness, but you don't ever
point to your economy and say stop moving, hey, cloture business.
But that idea went mainstream during COVID. Where do we
get that idea? Also China? So we got the COVID
from China. We got the idea to shut down our
(03:24):
economy from China. And now we combine that with some
things that we just learned recently, Cash Betel, FBI director
Cash Pateel just put out a very very interesting report.
The report is that China had mass produced fake driver's
(03:45):
license driver's licenses American driver's licenses, and they've fake produced
those mail in or those driver's licenses because they wanted
Joe Biden to win the election. They mass produced fake
driver's licenses so people could send in illegal votes so
(04:06):
Joe Biden could win an election. All this is already ugly,
is it not? All this is already nefarious, But wait,
when you dig into it, it's actually even worse than that.
You see because The report doesn't just lay out that
China created a bunch of fake IDs for people to
go in and vote illegally. The report also shows that
(04:29):
the FBI destroyed the evidence of all that. You see.
A bunch of people in the FBI came forward and said, hey,
the try coms, we have a report right here. They're
getting involved in the election. They're trying to defeat Donald Trump.
And the FBI said, oh, that's great, destroy all the
(04:51):
evidence of that, ignore everything you've seen. But wait, it's
actually worse than that. While while they were destroying the
evidence that China was getting involved in the election to
try to ensure Donald Trump couldn't win again, the head
of the FBI was saying things like this.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
The intelligence communities consensus is that Russia continues to try
to influence our elections, primarily through what we would call
malign foreign influence. But we certainly have seen very active,
very active efforts by the Russians to influence our election
in twenty twenty through what I would call more than
(05:33):
malign foreign influence side of things, social media, use of proxies,
state media, online journals, etc. An effort to both sew
divisiveness and discord, and I think the intelligence community has
assessed this publicly to primarily to denigrate Vice President by.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Kind of cut off at the end there and hear it,
but to denigrate Vice President Biden while the FBI, remember
he gave that testimony after we knew this, While the
FBI was in possession of knowledge, knowing there was a
Chinese scheme to get Donald Trump out of office. They
(06:18):
knew what they knew about the driver's licenses, they knew
about all of it. After they had knowledge of it,
they destroyed that knowledge of it and then went to
the American people repeatedly and told the American people that
Russia was trying to win the election for Donald Trump.
It's not just that we could potentially be looking at
China unleashing a virus to get rid of Donald Trump
and the presidency. That's that it looks like the FBI
(06:40):
and the intelligence community was complicit in that. I understand
what's supposed to sit here every single night and talk
about Israel in Iran, but I'm sorry if our intelligence community,
including the FBI, is joining with communist China to bounce
the Republican president to get Joe Biden into office, that's
kind of the biggest story on planet Earth. Now, let's
(07:00):
combine that with some other things we know, Joe Biden
and China. Now, if you've watched this show, if you've
consumed any news from the right at least over the
last four years, you're aware of the connections, unbelievable connections.
Let's first of all, let's talk about Air Force two
(07:22):
being vice president when you were the vice president of
the United States of America. I know you are not
a king, I get that, but how other countries look
at it is you are. You have an insane amount
of power and money at your disposal when you were
the vice president of the United States of America. So
(07:45):
let's say I was vice president, Jesse, don't worry, that's
never going to happen. And I wanted to go visit Singapore.
Never even been to Singapore, I don't know. I heard
it's a nice place. But let's say I wanted to
visit to Singapore. I would go get on Air Force two,
and I would show up to a king's welcome. It
would be heads of state, red carpet, five star hotels. Yes,
(08:07):
mister Kelly, can we show you our finest landmarks? So yes,
we've brought in only the highest quality toilet paper for you.
When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States
of America, he took a trip to China on Air
Force two. But he had a passenger, not just the
(08:27):
Secret Service, not just some reporters. Hunter Biden went along,
and when Joe Biden walked off those stairs, hopefully he
didn't trip. When Joe Biden got his red carpet, his
heads of state and he got in the cars with
his big security detail and cruised off to do official business,
Hunter didn't go along. Hunter went off and met with
(08:51):
some business partners, if you will. The Biden family is
so involved with China that Joe Biden's been having to
answer questions about this for years.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
China is likely to become a major issue in this election,
in part because of the coronavirus. I think you've been
critical of the way the administrative handled China. The administration
has been critical of the way you were when you
were vice president.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
We're dealing with China.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I guess I want to ask you, do you think
that this is going to in fact be a major
issue and are you vulnerable on this issue at all?
Because of your son's business dealings in China.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
No, I don't believe so at all. My son's business
dealings were not anything worth everybody that he's talking about,
not even remotely Number one.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh well, that clears everything up. Remember remember on the
heels of what we just found out about China, Remember
how often Joe Biden told us he and g they
were besties.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
The fact is that I have met with Shiji Paying
more than any other world leader has. I've been over
sixty eight hours of private meetings. He and I was
a simultaneous interpreters. I've spent a lot of time with
Shijingping and when I was Vice president and was subsequent
to that. And he once asked me, if Ti bet
and Plateau, could I define America for him? And I
(10:11):
mean it sincerely, not a joke. I said, yes, one
word possibilities. I've allegedly met more face to face with
Shijingping than any world leader has. America is a nation
that can be defined in a single word. I was
the foot him. Excuse me, the foothills of the Himalais
(10:32):
with Shixing Ping.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Interesting, isn't it? And let's let's talk about what happened
after all this China unleashed the virus on the world.
China did something to ensure Joe Biden got a lot
of votes. We don't know how much it was, but
China did something to ensure they got a lot of votes.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation destroyed the evidence of that
(10:59):
and toltdal America that Donald Trump and China were best friends.
And then we all woke up found out a bunch
of ballots, some kind of ballots got dropped at two am,
and Joe Biden was the next President of the United
States of America. And immediately after getting elected he said this.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
We know, you know, we have got to still reckon
with the impact of climate change. That clean energy transition
is not just coming, it is here.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
There is no amount of domestic production that we can
do when we are dealing with a volatile global commodity
where the price is set globally, There's no amount of
domestic production we can do to reduce or eliminate our
vulnerability as a country to that volatility. The only way
to do that is to reduce the energy intensity of
economy overall, which means shifting to cleaner sources of energy.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
It is just not tenable. It should motivate us to
accelerate the transition to clean energy.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Clean energy right away, we started transitioning. Biden said it,
his whole cabinet said it. But who would you work
with if you were going to try to do this
fake transition to green energy? In fact, who would benefit
financially from that? Janet Yellen? Who would it be?
Speaker 8 (12:20):
We are not attempting to decouple from China. We have
a deep economic relationship, and that kind of competition, trade
and investment is beneficial to.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Both, beneficial to both sides. Joe Biden got elected mysteriously,
and Joe Biden promptly enriched China. And that brings one
more thing to mind as we think about China possibly
(12:56):
stealing the United States presidency. Remember that spy balloon? Do
you remember it? It was a relatively small story, I
guess didn't get all the headlines. We talked about it here,
of course, but we we detected a Chinese spy balloon
over Alaska. So I'm not going to insult you geographically.
(13:18):
You know where Alaska is, way out west, way up north,
there's Alaska Pacific Ocean. We detect a Chinese spy balloon. Now,
this is a spy balloon. It's not a spy hypersonic missile.
It's not a spy satellite out in space. It's a balloon.
(13:39):
Do you have any idea how easy it would be
and safe for America to take a spy balloon out
of the sky. Do you have any idea how rural
the land is between Alaska and frankly, the continental United
States of America. If we're talking about the lower forty eight,
let alone all the rural area it will go over
(14:01):
around that part, it would be nothing. It would be
like you or I going to the gas station for
a pack of gum. That's how easy it would be
to take out a Chinese spy balloon. And yet the
Chinese spy balloon was allowed to traverse the entire United
States of America doing figure eights over our military bases,
(14:23):
collecting god knows how much data, and Joe Biden allowed
them to get from Alaska to the Atlantic before we
shot it down. Interesting when you add all these things together,
isn't it all that may have made you uncomfortable? But
I am right. We will talk to Miranda Divine about
(14:46):
this and other things in a moment before we do that.
Let me talk to you about getting your energy up,
your focus up naturally. We really shouldn't be grabbing for
the three in the afternoon right. As much as I
love coffee, we should just feel good. You want to
grab coffee, fine, but you should feel full of energy.
(15:08):
You shouldn't be out of gas at three or four
in the afternoon. And you know why you are. Your
levels are off, but you need to handle that naturally.

my life are from Chalk Chalk. They'll hook you up.

We'll be back. Okay. So last week we interviewed Miranda Divine,
(16:08):
which we love to do because she has some sweet
new podcast called pod Force one and apparently she's just
going to get all the heavy hitters on there. And
she had a chance to talk to somebody who fascinates me.
I've never met the man, never talked to the man,
but he seems sharp. I wonder what Miranda thought about him.
She interviewed Scott Bissent, joining me now wonderful columnists for
(16:29):
the New York Post, Miranda Devine. Okay, Miranda, you had
a chance to sit down and take the measure of
the man. What'd you think?
Speaker 9 (16:36):
I think he's a wonderful man and we're extremely lucky
to have him in charge of Treasury. I mean, as
the most powerful global financier, you could not ask for
a better pedigree, a better background track record, brain temperament,
you name it. We are extremely lucky. This is the
guy who broke the Bank of England, made a billion
(17:00):
dollars in a day from doing that. And you know,
you can't blame someone the financiers for doing a good
job of exploiting the mistakes that a government makes. And
what now we have Scott Besson on our side. He's
going to make sure that no one can exploit the
United States and that we always get the best end
(17:22):
of the deal, which of course is Donald Trump's same
as well.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Miranda. I get the impression, given how often I see
him on television, how often Scott Persent is sent to
negotiations with other people, I get the impression that Donald
Trump thinks extremely highly of him and trusts him a
great deal. Do you get that.
Speaker 9 (17:44):
Definitely, he respects him enormously, and I mean in part
that's because the rest of the world respects him. You know,
he just proved himself.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Over and over.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
I mean, he made billions in what he was doing
in trade in the stock market, and he also just
has proven himself now when he's a professor, he's you know,
understands everything there is to know about the economy. Stanley
Druckenmeier was his mentor. So he's at the perfect stage
(18:21):
in his career when he can step back and now
apply all that knowledge he got in the real world
to fulfilling Donald Trump's policy aims. And as you said,
I mean just last week he was there in London,
Neutral Territory to try and sort of reset the China
(18:41):
trade relationship, which had really gotten ugly and out of
hand and there was retaliation on both sides and effectively
i mean an embargo on trade. So he managed to
do that and at least reset them and now they're
set for proper trade talks. So yes, Donald Trump is
trusting him with a lot of things. I mean he
even sent him to Ukraine if you remember to negotiate
(19:04):
that rare earth minerals deal with Zelenski, which didn't go
too well. But I mean that obviously was Zelenski's problem,
and he showed you the same attitude when he came
to the Oval Office, and Scott Besson was there as well.
So he's right at the heart of everything you know
that the government does. And he was in the situation
(19:25):
room with Donald Trump. He told me during you know,
the all this Iran drama, and he did say he
couldn't obviously talk about what was going on, but what
he did say is if the American people could see
the way President Trump conducts himself and the way he's
talking to international leaders, etc. They would feel very comforted
(19:47):
by the fact that he's doing such a good job.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You brought up him, Scott percent I'm sorry. In China, well,
this is a little snippet of all that.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
You just recently flew to London to have some pretty
willing trade negotiations with the Chinese. And I think this
was just over the sort of retaliatory measures that China
had slapped on America, for instance, magnets and some rare earths.
(20:19):
They had put a ban on and then we'd slapped
some payback to them. And so did you manage to
sort that out? And do you think that we're going
to get to a point that Donald Trump is that
he wants where China opens up to America.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
Well, on the whether they'll open up, we'll see. I
believe that Chinese were feeling more pain. Their system takes
pain better, but I believe it was probably very painful
for them because that we import three times more than
we sell to them. So we're the death of the country.
(20:58):
The history of trade wars, the surplus country always takes
more pain.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
And their economy is not doing very well, is it
at the time.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
They're in the middle of a real estate downturn. Some
might call it a crisis. They've had low growth. There's
something called the middle income trap port developing economies. And
what we will see with China is can they be
a reliable partner?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Miranda. I played that because I wanted to gauge how
adversarial the Trump administration actually is with China, and I
asked that very much on the heels of this report
from Cash. But tell that the Chinese were highly invested
in some way in making sure Donald Trump lost his
election to Joe Biden. And we don't know how much
(21:49):
they played a role in that. We don't know if
they actually got the presidency for them, but they did something,
or at least they attempted to.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
Yeah, it's fascinating, isn't it. We're hearing now about the
sort of Chinese malevolence. I mean, just the other day
the FBI picked up I think three scientists who are
trying to smuggle in some really awful biologic agent to
sabotage our agriculture. I think some sort of fungi. So,
(22:21):
I mean, that's frightening. I don't think that the Trump
administration is under any illusion that China is, you know,
our friend. And certainly the way that these trade negotiations
have been going, China thought that they had snooked us
because these these little rare earth magnets are in like
(22:43):
practically every motor and you know, quite a strategic problem
for us. But by the same token, you know, we
played hardball. The administration played hardball back, and two hundred
and fifty of their planes had been grounded by the
time Scott and Howard Lutnik met with them in London
(23:03):
last week, and they were being grounded at the rate
of two hundred and fifty a week because America just
said no more aircraft parts for you China. Marco Rubio
was saying, no more Chinese students. Howard Latnik Commerce department
had put a ban on a substance a petrochemical called ethane,
which is a crucial element of plastics, which of course
(23:25):
a lot of stuff out of China is made of plastics.
So you know, two can play at that game. And
I think that was a bit of a wake up
call for China, and they do, you know, I'm told
that the negotiator as they sent their vice president, a
guy called her there and they're all very respectful, particularly
of Scott Besant. I think they realized that it's a
(23:48):
new sheriff in town and no more of the sort
of week attitude. And really, I mean Joe Biden for
the millions of dollars tens of millions that he and
his family raped in from China, and the fact now
we're seeing with this new FBI revelations that China was
trying to manufacture some fake ballots or fake driver's licenses
(24:11):
to get fake votes on behalf of Joe Biden. You
can tell Joe Biden was China's man, and that's no
longer the case. And so I think what Scott Bessont
told me was that the administration is looking to do
a strategic decoupling from China. You can't do an entire
(24:32):
de coupling. You can't totally isolate in this kind of
globalist economy that we have, you can't completely isolate from China,
but you can ensure that they never again have the
power to withhold something like rare oath magnets from US
and threaten our national security and our economic security. So
(24:54):
that will never happen again. And he blames previous administrations
for allowing that situation to happen. I asked him, you
know about allowing China into the WTO back in two
thousand and one. Should people have known back then what
a disaster it would have been for American jobs? And
he said, Look, the problem that Larry Finker told him
(25:14):
is that it was capitalism without guardrails. You can't have that.
So they're trying to erect the guardrails again.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Miranda, I appreciate you. It is Pod force one. Everybody,
all right, we have a lot still hang on the
Supreme Court met today. A bunch of people are talking
about it, but these are legal matters. Therefore they go
(25:44):
way over my uneducated head. So we better bring in
someone who knows what they're talking about. And that brings
us to Alex Sawyer, author of a wonderful book, law
Let's Law Fair. She's a reporter for the Washington Times. Okay, Alex,
First and foremost, who's screw Metty? And why do I
need to know this person?
Speaker 11 (26:03):
You need to know this person because he's the Attorney
General of Tennessee. And he went to the Supreme Court
earlier this year defending a state law that basically says
youth that are looking to transition cannot have puberty blockers,
they cannot have surgery. The goal of the state was
really to protect youth from the unknown of the long
(26:27):
terms effect of this type of drugs, and that was
met by challenges. The state law was met by challenges
from three transgender youth and their family and a doctor
basically saying that that type of law violates the equal
Protection clause of the Constitution and that its sects discrimination.
(26:48):
So during oral arguments, which I will say was the
most attended oral arguments, of the term, going back to COVID.
Before the audio was released live. Usually the court was packed,
but now not so much since people can listen to
it remote. But this one drew all the attention for
the term, and it did seem like the age the
(27:11):
Tennessee ag had a better day in court. So I
wasn't all that surprised with today's ruling, which basically upheld
the state law in a six to three decision and said, yes,
the state of Tennessee can have this law. It's not
sex discrimination. According to the majority. They're saying, this law
is looking at age. It goes by age that there
(27:33):
are these medical treatments available to adults. And you know
also the fact that the treatment is based off of
a gender dysphoria the actual diagnosis, so you know, children
can still get puberty blockers when appropriate, but not to
treat gender dysphoria. The dissent the three Democratic appointees from
(28:00):
the ruling, saying that this puts transgender youth in danger,
that they could have high rates of anxiety and suicide
from this. So they were very disappointed with the way
the court went. What they wanted was the court to
send this back to lower courts and say that the
state had to meet a higher burden, essentially an intermediate
(28:23):
scrutiny showing why it was justified in passing this type
of law.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Okay, let's switch gears and talk about a federal judge
blocking Trump's order mandating biological sex on passports. I can't
believe we even have to fight things like this in
this wacko country of ours now. But this is surely
going to get shot down.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
Right, Yes, I foresee it will get shot down on appeal.
The judge has made this now a class action. We
are frequently seeing Biden appointees like this issue these nationwide
injunctions or temporary restraining orders that is looking to strike
(29:03):
down policies. So this was a policy out of the
State Department saying that we recognize biological sex. No more
X on your passport. You could see that there's a
national You could see there's a national security reason for that.
So I do believe that as this works its way
(29:23):
up the chain, courts will rule for the administration. They
typically do defer to the executive when it comes to
matters of national security, and when needing to identify someone
coming into this country, it would be helpful to know
if there's a male or female, not just an X
for identifications.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, yeah, it certainly would. Okay. So the culture war
stuff the Supreme Court, especially our side, has been much maligned,
and justifiably so for all the ways they've screwed things up,
but they appear to be pretty solid on the cultural
issues that keep landing in front of them. Am I wrong?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You are not wrong.
Speaker 11 (30:07):
They have this six to three majority, and with the
exception of really, we're not always sure where Roberts and
Barrett will go, but for the most part they have
been delivering wins for conservatives. Now I'm not sure. In
the next biggest case we're waiting for this term, it's
really the birthright citizenship case, And for your audience, basically,
(30:31):
the case was about President Trump's moved to end birthright citizenship,
and that's really when a child is born on US
soil but the parents are not US citizens, that child
is then given US citizenship and the President has looked
to end that. That was challenged and it was blocked
(30:51):
unsurprisingly nationwide. And that's really the issue that the Court
took up. The Supreme Court is weighing whether these lower
court judges have the ability to basically have a sweeping
injunction that blocks the executive policy nationwide rather than just
(31:11):
for the parties that brought that case to the district
court or in the jurisdiction in which it's brought. There
are some concerns, obviously, when we're talking about matters like
immigration having fractured court opinions and the idea that there
needs to be some uniformity in how they're enforced. But
which court that should be left up to, I think
(31:35):
is where the justices need to direct that opinion. Maybe
provide these lower court judges with a test about when
it is appropriate to issue such a sweeping nationwide injunction.
So I think that might be the type of guidance
we get from them in the next week or so.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Okay, Alex, So forgive my stupid question, but you're dealing
with the uneducated here. It doesn't sound to me like
you're talking about the Supreme Court actually ruling on birthright
citizenship or not. That doesn't sound like what they're going
to rule on. So we're all getting ourselves worked up
into a tizzy over nothing that is true.
Speaker 11 (32:12):
It is the Supreme Court, So could they say something
about birthright citizenship. Sure, but the issue they actually took
up out of the petition of this case was centered
on the issue of nationwide injunctions and if these district
courts have the ability to issue them. So what we're
really waiting on is guidance in that respect, which is
(32:34):
a bit more procedural than the actual merits of what
you just mentioned. Can the president and birthright citizenship?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Okay? Alex. Finally, the FBI leaker. Everybody remembers the Dobs
decision was leaked beforehand, and then the animals took to
the streets and death threats and assassination attempts and all
the things we've grown used to in this country. Did
the FBI ever track that person down or is he
hiding right next to the pipe bomber from January sixth?
Speaker 11 (33:04):
Yeah, might be hiding. I think you're right on that.
I think the reason the court didn't invite the FBI
in to do a thorough investigation there was the thought
of wanting to keep the executive branch agencies out of
the judiciary for better or worse. I think a lot
of people want some sort of accountability there. It was
(33:26):
such a grave mistake and it has I think, continued
to deteriorate the trust in the judiciary and made it
look all that more political. That's something I get into
in my book Lawless, Law Fair, about the loss of
the trust in the court system. It's looking more and
more like political battlefields than a court room.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
No, no, no, Alex, best of luck. Hope your book
does well. All right. Democrats keep pulling crap to get
them elected. That's what I say they're doing. They're getting arrested,
but they're trying to get electives. What they're trying to do.
We'll talk about that in a moment. First, let me
talk to you about something much more important than that.
We're talking about my YouTube channel. Have you subscribed yet?
(34:13):
It's free, No one's charging you for anything there. You
want these little videos, little highlights, things like that. It's
going to take your little phone and scan the thing
and subscribe. All right, we'll be back. All right, let's
(34:37):
talk about the Democrat party getting arrested, getting elected. Let's
talk about human beings. You know, human beings. We copy
successful behavior. That's why social media is big for this. Now,
do you have social media. I'm not recommending it if
you don't, but if you have social media now, and
let's say you're trying to get in shape, be trying
(35:00):
to get in shape. What are you gonna do. You're
gonna go follow a bunch of accounts of these fitness
freaks and then they're gonna show you what they cook
and their workout plan and whatnot. We're looking and we're learning,
we're looking at what works. Look at that dude, he's
got six pack abs. I'm gonna go do what he's doing. Oh,
look at her, her legs look great. I'm gonna go
do what she's doing. Politics works in the exact same way.
(35:23):
Political parties, politicians, they study each other all the time
and they try to figure out what works, what doesn't work.
And the communists in this country, sorry, democrats, the Democrats
in this country discovered something wild. You see. They grabbed
all this political power. They took over the university system,
(35:44):
They got a bunch of billionaires, foreign and domestic. They
did a whole bunch of things. But the things they
did had given them incredible political power. With DA's with
Attorney General, with the FBI, with the DOJ. They woke
up one day under Joe Biden, they had a cadaver
president who wouldn't hold them back from their worst impulses.
(36:04):
And they said, we have everything. We have the FBI,
we have prosecutors. Why don't we just arrest everybody we
don't like. Why don't we just use all this power
on our political opponents and then we'll be set for life.
Communists always think in this way, they always operate this way,
and so they did. And what was crazy was as
(36:27):
Democrats were sitting there arresting Donald Trump, arresting January six ers, prosecuting,
doing all these things, all these crazy things, they very
clearly in the moment, at the moment, they thought they
were winning. Every time Trump got elected, Remember we got
elected arrested. When Trump got arrested in Georgia, Remember when
(36:48):
they put his mug shot up online? Ah haha. Remember
when Joe Biden even tried to dunk on them, Hey
I hear you're free on Wednesdays when he was in
the middle of his New York trial. When Joe Biden
and the communists put Donald Trump, in particular, through all
these ridiculous legal law fare, at the time, they thought,
we're getting them, we're getting them, We're getting them. But
(37:11):
something else was happening. And because they live in this
horrible bubble, they didn't realize it at the time. There
was a primary in the GOP. Remember that no one
hardly remembers. But Donald Trump had a very formidable opponent.
I believe he probably would have always beaten Ron DeSantis,
because Trump's the most popular Republican in the country. But
that was within ten or so. It was inclosing. It
(37:32):
was closing. The country was looking at the Santus, liking
what he said, liking what he done. Donald Trump got arrested.
I don't think it was ever within thirty points. Again,
Boom Kong and the Democrats tried to excuse that, Okay,
whatever the GOP. Their base is crazy anyway, a bunch
of extremists. Surely the general election voter will be bothered.
(37:54):
And so they all started running on he's a felon,
He's a convicted felon. Look at this, You're gonna vote
for a felon. But it wasn't just the GOP primary voter.
The American people watched as those savages kept arresting and
prosecuting their political opponent, and every time they did, Donald
Trump's bull numbers went up, up, up, up, up up,
Now you're a Democrat today, you're sitting around post election,
(38:16):
you've lost the presidency, the House, the Senate, and you're
wondering what happened. I don't understand. We arrested him, and
very very clearly, the light bulb boom has gone on.
Getting arrested on camera by your political opponents. It's good
(38:36):
for business when you're a politician. Makes the people feel
like you're one of them, helps keep you in office.
Why do you think a United States senator charged the
podium when Christynoman was speaking.
Speaker 12 (38:48):
I'm a senator, Alexiudia. I have questions for the secretary
because the fact of the matter is half a dozen
seing criminals that you're hitting on your on your I
also head off.
Speaker 11 (39:03):
Many of ours have been dosed.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
For in your beauty.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
They have targeted.
Speaker 13 (39:09):
Hands on your back, behind my back, all right, cool hand.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Lace lay flat, lay flat, other hands.
Speaker 7 (39:19):
Other hand.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Well, I do that. If you're a senator. There are
a million ways you can get a hold of Christy
home they wanted it to happen. Now is on the
Senate floor, faint, crying about the whole thing. I was
forced to the ground.
Speaker 14 (39:43):
First on my knees, and then flat on my chest
mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
And it's those.
Speaker 15 (39:54):
Handcuffed and marched down a hallway, repeatedly asking why am
I being detained?
Speaker 14 (40:07):
Not once did they tell me why. I pray you
never have a moment electness, but I will tell you.
In that moment, a lot of questions came to my mind.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Oh please, you got handcuffed for five minutes. It happens
to everybody. I've been handcuffed a couple of times. It's
really not that big of a deal. What's he trying
to do is trying to get elected again? That's currency.
Now he's not alone, This is caught on. This loser,
Brad Lander in New York City has no chance in
this mayoral primary. He's up against Cuomo. He's up against
(40:44):
this weird foreigner didactor day after that. I can't say
the guy's name, but Brad needed a little positive pub.
So what do you do when you need some positive
pub You get arrested.
Speaker 8 (40:54):
Please stop, step please step back, step back on, step back,
step back.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
You don't have the authority for the best US citizens.
Speaker 11 (41:09):
Where are you taking him?
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Hello?
Speaker 11 (41:16):
Where are you taking the controller?
Speaker 1 (41:18):
And with what authority?
Speaker 11 (41:21):
Why are you arresting the city controller and where are
you taking?
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Hang on with number one? Hold on, hold on, hold on,
They're all trying. Why do you think Gavin Newsom has
been all over the television set since all this ice
stuff in l A began? Why do you think Gavin
Newsom has been practically begging to be arrested? Tom Home
(41:51):
and the borders are said to me yesterday he did
not rule out.
Speaker 16 (41:55):
Literally arresting you, nor mayor Bass if you interfere in
his you have.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
He's a tough guy, wasn't he do that? He knows
where to find me.
Speaker 13 (42:03):
But you know what, lay your hands off four year
old girls that are trying to get educated, Play your
hands off. These poor people are just trying to get
live their lives. Man trying to live their lives, pay
their taxes, been here ten years, The fear, the horror,
the hell is this guy come after me?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Arrest me? Let's just get it over with.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Tough guy.
Speaker 13 (42:24):
You know, I don't give a damn, but I care
about my community.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
I care about this community. The hell are they doing?
Speaker 13 (42:31):
These guys need to grow up, They need to stop,
and we need to push back. And I'm sorry to
be so clear, but that kind of bloviating is exhausting.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
So tom arrest me. Let's go. That's a man trying
very hard to be the Democrat nominee in twenty twenty eight.
Trust me, it's not about four year old girls. All right,
let's go make fun of WHOOPI goldber ungrateful? Which next?
(43:06):
All right, it is time to lighten the mood. And
there is just something that grades on me, but at
the same time it makes me laugh. That's why we're
doing it for light in the mood is people, especially
feminist types, but really, any people who luxuriate in this
country and talk about how horrible it is here all
(43:29):
the time either no perspective at all or they're lying.
I remember I went to Europe. Went to Europe. Haven't
been to Europe a bunch, right, But we went to
Europe as a family who wanted to go see a
couple of things. And of course we go during the
summer to get out of Houston, because Houston's miserable in
the summer. We go there to cool off. We're Czech
(43:50):
Republic in Austria, and of course the biggest heat wave
they've ever had hits as soon as we get there,
so it's roastings. In the nineties, it's hot, and I
remember restaurants hotels would advertise on the street if they
had air conditioning. It was so rare that it was
the selling point to walk into a restaurant. Here in
(44:11):
the United States of America, wherever you happen to be
watching me right now, unless you're out mowing the grass,
you were in the air conditioning. We have everything here,
and yet we have so many brain dead feminist tags
on television who say things like this.
Speaker 17 (44:29):
I think it's very different in the United States in
twenty twenty five than it is to live in.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
An You're not for everybody, not.
Speaker 16 (44:34):
Every black guys don't vote a Duran do not any
know said no, nobody wants to diminish them very real
problems we have in this country.
Speaker 17 (44:43):
Well know it Win's intention, but I think it's important
we remember there are places much darker than this country
and people who deserve right.
Speaker 18 (44:49):
Not everybody feels that way. Not everybody feels that way. Listen,
I'm sorry. You know, when you think about the fact
that we were we got the vote in nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 17 (45:00):
You can okay, they don't have free and fair elections
in Iran, but it's not even the same universe.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
They can't go out of their house.
Speaker 18 (45:08):
You know what, There's no there's no way I can
make you understand.
Speaker 16 (45:12):
It's like it's like try to reverse roles with a
with a black person in this country, let's say, because
I think that's what you're talking about. Just try to
understand from that point of view. From that point of view,
this country does not do them well, does not go.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
There's no way I can make you understand. No, No,
I understand perfectly well. You communist ungrateful hag, which I
understand perfectly well. You want to remain at the top
of the victim ladder forever because it serves you quite well,
that's what I understand. I'll see them all
Did China install our president? Talk about that. Miranda Devine
is going to join us to give us the latest
and greatest on her interview with Scott since maybe some
foreign policy matters, all that and more coming up when
I'm writing.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Now, let's talk.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Let's talk about the past, shall we. Not ancient history
at all, but let's discuss something because I just want
to rewind. Just let's just stay with me here. Twenty nineteen,
Remember twenty nineteen, not that long ago. Of course, twenty nineteen,
Donald Trump was president. We'll go January twenty nineteen, the
(00:51):
very beginning of twenty nineteen. Donald Trump is president. It's
his first term. Obviously, the economy is going gangbus, absolutely gangbusters.
And if you were anybody in politics whose experience with
politics at all, and you're looking at Donald Trump's economic numbers,
(01:11):
just his economic numbers, you're thinking, this guy is going
to get re elected, And just stay with me. We're
going somewhere with this. Presidents get reelected when they have
good economies. It's just one of those things that is
a rule in American politics. It's very, very hard to
get out a sitting president to have him lose his
(01:34):
reelection bid. Once you're there, it's easier to stay there.
But presidents with relatively stable doesn't even have to be
going gangbusters, but pretty stable, solid economies, they get reelected,
can't get them, can't get rid of them. But the
economy wasn't solid by the time his reelection came around.
(01:57):
What happened there? Covid? We got a virus, America got
a virus, a virus that a bunch of quacky people.
And look, Donald Trump himself participated in this, I get that.
But a bunch of quacky people decided that the world's
economy should simply stop moving in response to this virus.
(02:19):
You see, it was a virus and a bunch of people, scientists, doctors,
really smart people. They decided that kids shouldn't go to school,
you shouldn't go to work, restaurants should close. Of course,
you can go buy liquor. But do you remember all that?
Of course, now couple things. Where do we get that virus?
(02:40):
Where did it come from? China? Okay, where do we
get the idea that shutting down a country on purpose
was an appropriate response to a virus? Because do keep
in mind, I know I'm not trying to rehash COVID here,
But keep in mind that idea is completely bonkers and
has been rejected many times throughout history. Yes, portions of
(03:04):
your economy will shut down when there's a virus, when
there's some kind of a sickness, but you don't ever
point to your economy and say stop moving, hey, cloture business.
But that idea went mainstream during COVID. Where do we
get that idea? Also China? So we got the COVID
from China. We got the idea to shut down our
(03:24):
economy from China. And now we combine that with some
things that we just learned recently, Cash Betel, FBI director
Cash Pateel just put out a very very interesting report.
The report is that China had mass produced fake driver's
(03:45):
license driver's licenses American driver's licenses, and they've fake produced
those mail in or those driver's licenses because they wanted
Joe Biden to win the election. They mass produced fake
driver's licenses so people could send in illegal votes so
(04:06):
Joe Biden could win an election. All this is already ugly,
is it not? All this is already nefarious, But wait,
when you dig into it, it's actually even worse than that.
You see because The report doesn't just lay out that
China created a bunch of fake IDs for people to
go in and vote illegally. The report also shows that
(04:29):
the FBI destroyed the evidence of all that. You see.
A bunch of people in the FBI came forward and said, hey,
the try coms, we have a report right here. They're
getting involved in the election. They're trying to defeat Donald Trump.
And the FBI said, oh, that's great, destroy all the
(04:51):
evidence of that, ignore everything you've seen. But wait, it's
actually worse than that. While while they were destroying the
evidence that China was getting involved in the election to
try to ensure Donald Trump couldn't win again, the head
of the FBI was saying things like this.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
The intelligence communities consensus is that Russia continues to try
to influence our elections, primarily through what we would call
malign foreign influence. But we certainly have seen very active,
very active efforts by the Russians to influence our election
in twenty twenty through what I would call more than
(05:33):
malign foreign influence side of things, social media, use of proxies,
state media, online journals, etc. An effort to both sew
divisiveness and discord, and I think the intelligence community has
assessed this publicly to primarily to denigrate Vice President by.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Kind of cut off at the end there and hear it,
but to denigrate Vice President Biden while the FBI, remember
he gave that testimony after we knew this, While the
FBI was in possession of knowledge, knowing there was a
Chinese scheme to get Donald Trump out of office. They
(06:18):
knew what they knew about the driver's licenses, they knew
about all of it. After they had knowledge of it,
they destroyed that knowledge of it and then went to
the American people repeatedly and told the American people that
Russia was trying to win the election for Donald Trump.
It's not just that we could potentially be looking at
China unleashing a virus to get rid of Donald Trump
and the presidency. That's that it looks like the FBI
(06:40):
and the intelligence community was complicit in that. I understand
what's supposed to sit here every single night and talk
about Israel in Iran, but I'm sorry if our intelligence community,
including the FBI, is joining with communist China to bounce
the Republican president to get Joe Biden into office, that's
kind of the biggest story on planet Earth. Now, let's
(07:00):
combine that with some other things we know, Joe Biden
and China. Now, if you've watched this show, if you've
consumed any news from the right at least over the
last four years, you're aware of the connections, unbelievable connections.
Let's first of all, let's talk about Air Force two
(07:22):
being vice president when you were the vice president of
the United States of America. I know you are not
a king, I get that, but how other countries look
at it is you are. You have an insane amount
of power and money at your disposal when you were
the vice president of the United States of America. So
(07:45):
let's say I was vice president, Jesse, don't worry, that's
never going to happen. And I wanted to go visit Singapore.
Never even been to Singapore, I don't know. I heard
it's a nice place. But let's say I wanted to
visit to Singapore. I would go get on Air Force two,
and I would show up to a king's welcome. It
would be heads of state, red carpet, five star hotels. Yes,
(08:07):
mister Kelly, can we show you our finest landmarks? So yes,
we've brought in only the highest quality toilet paper for you.
When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States
of America, he took a trip to China on Air
Force two. But he had a passenger, not just the
(08:27):
Secret Service, not just some reporters. Hunter Biden went along,
and when Joe Biden walked off those stairs, hopefully he
didn't trip. When Joe Biden got his red carpet, his
heads of state and he got in the cars with
his big security detail and cruised off to do official business,
Hunter didn't go along. Hunter went off and met with
(08:51):
some business partners, if you will. The Biden family is
so involved with China that Joe Biden's been having to
answer questions about this for years.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
China is likely to become a major issue in this election,
in part because of the coronavirus. I think you've been
critical of the way the administrative handled China. The administration
has been critical of the way you were when you
were vice president.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
We're dealing with China.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I guess I want to ask you, do you think
that this is going to in fact be a major
issue and are you vulnerable on this issue at all?
Because of your son's business dealings in China.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
No, I don't believe so at all. My son's business
dealings were not anything worth everybody that he's talking about,
not even remotely Number one.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh well, that clears everything up. Remember remember on the
heels of what we just found out about China, Remember
how often Joe Biden told us he and g they
were besties.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
The fact is that I have met with Shiji Paying
more than any other world leader has. I've been over
sixty eight hours of private meetings. He and I was
a simultaneous interpreters. I've spent a lot of time with
Shijingping and when I was Vice president and was subsequent
to that. And he once asked me, if Ti bet
and Plateau, could I define America for him? And I
(10:11):
mean it sincerely, not a joke. I said, yes, one
word possibilities. I've allegedly met more face to face with
Shijingping than any world leader has. America is a nation
that can be defined in a single word. I was
the foot him. Excuse me, the foothills of the Himalais
(10:32):
with Shixing Ping.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Interesting, isn't it? And let's let's talk about what happened
after all this China unleashed the virus on the world.
China did something to ensure Joe Biden got a lot
of votes. We don't know how much it was, but
China did something to ensure they got a lot of votes.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation destroyed the evidence of that
(10:59):
and toltdal America that Donald Trump and China were best friends.
And then we all woke up found out a bunch
of ballots, some kind of ballots got dropped at two am,
and Joe Biden was the next President of the United
States of America. And immediately after getting elected he said this.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
We know, you know, we have got to still reckon
with the impact of climate change. That clean energy transition
is not just coming, it is here.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
There is no amount of domestic production that we can
do when we are dealing with a volatile global commodity
where the price is set globally, There's no amount of
domestic production we can do to reduce or eliminate our
vulnerability as a country to that volatility. The only way
to do that is to reduce the energy intensity of
economy overall, which means shifting to cleaner sources of energy.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
It is just not tenable. It should motivate us to
accelerate the transition to clean energy.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Clean energy right away, we started transitioning. Biden said it,
his whole cabinet said it. But who would you work
with if you were going to try to do this
fake transition to green energy? In fact, who would benefit
financially from that? Janet Yellen? Who would it be?
Speaker 8 (12:20):
We are not attempting to decouple from China. We have
a deep economic relationship, and that kind of competition, trade
and investment is beneficial to.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Both, beneficial to both sides. Joe Biden got elected mysteriously,
and Joe Biden promptly enriched China. And that brings one
more thing to mind as we think about China possibly
(12:56):
stealing the United States presidency. Remember that spy balloon? Do
you remember it? It was a relatively small story, I
guess didn't get all the headlines. We talked about it here,
of course, but we we detected a Chinese spy balloon
over Alaska. So I'm not going to insult you geographically.
(13:18):
You know where Alaska is, way out west, way up north,
there's Alaska Pacific Ocean. We detect a Chinese spy balloon. Now,
this is a spy balloon. It's not a spy hypersonic missile.
It's not a spy satellite out in space. It's a balloon.
(13:39):
Do you have any idea how easy it would be
and safe for America to take a spy balloon out
of the sky. Do you have any idea how rural
the land is between Alaska and frankly, the continental United
States of America. If we're talking about the lower forty eight,
let alone all the rural area it will go over
(14:01):
around that part, it would be nothing. It would be
like you or I going to the gas station for
a pack of gum. That's how easy it would be
to take out a Chinese spy balloon. And yet the
Chinese spy balloon was allowed to traverse the entire United
States of America doing figure eights over our military bases,
(14:23):
collecting god knows how much data, and Joe Biden allowed
them to get from Alaska to the Atlantic before we
shot it down. Interesting when you add all these things together,
isn't it all that may have made you uncomfortable? But
I am right. We will talk to Miranda Divine about
(14:46):
this and other things in a moment before we do that.
Let me talk to you about getting your energy up,
your focus up naturally. We really shouldn't be grabbing for
the three in the afternoon right. As much as I
love coffee, we should just feel good. You want to
grab coffee, fine, but you should feel full of energy.
(15:08):
You shouldn't be out of gas at three or four
in the afternoon. And you know why you are. Your
levels are off, but you need to handle that naturally.
The highest quality natural herbal supplements I've ever seen in
my life are from Chalk Chalk. They'll hook you up.
They'll get you a male vitality stack, a female vitality stack.
(15:30):
They'll have you feeling like a million bucks in ninety days.
You want a big savings subscriptions Chalk dot Com, slash JESSETV.
We'll be back. Okay. So last week we interviewed Miranda Divine,
(16:08):
which we love to do because she has some sweet
new podcast called pod Force one and apparently she's just
going to get all the heavy hitters on there. And
she had a chance to talk to somebody who fascinates me.
I've never met the man, never talked to the man,
but he seems sharp. I wonder what Miranda thought about him.
She interviewed Scott Bissent, joining me now wonderful columnists for
(16:29):
the New York Post, Miranda Devine. Okay, Miranda, you had
a chance to sit down and take the measure of
the man. What'd you think?
Speaker 9 (16:36):
I think he's a wonderful man and we're extremely lucky
to have him in charge of Treasury. I mean, as
the most powerful global financier, you could not ask for
a better pedigree, a better background track record, brain temperament,
you name it. We are extremely lucky. This is the
guy who broke the Bank of England, made a billion
(17:00):
dollars in a day from doing that. And you know,
you can't blame someone the financiers for doing a good
job of exploiting the mistakes that a government makes. And
what now we have Scott Besson on our side. He's
going to make sure that no one can exploit the
United States and that we always get the best end
(17:22):
of the deal, which of course is Donald Trump's same
as well.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Miranda. I get the impression, given how often I see
him on television, how often Scott Persent is sent to
negotiations with other people, I get the impression that Donald
Trump thinks extremely highly of him and trusts him a
great deal. Do you get that.
Speaker 9 (17:44):
Definitely, he respects him enormously, and I mean in part
that's because the rest of the world respects him. You know,
he just proved himself.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Over and over.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
I mean, he made billions in what he was doing
in trade in the stock market, and he also just
has proven himself now when he's a professor, he's you know,
understands everything there is to know about the economy. Stanley
Druckenmeier was his mentor. So he's at the perfect stage
(18:21):
in his career when he can step back and now
apply all that knowledge he got in the real world
to fulfilling Donald Trump's policy aims. And as you said,
I mean just last week he was there in London,
Neutral Territory to try and sort of reset the China
(18:41):
trade relationship, which had really gotten ugly and out of
hand and there was retaliation on both sides and effectively
i mean an embargo on trade. So he managed to
do that and at least reset them and now they're
set for proper trade talks. So yes, Donald Trump is
trusting him with a lot of things. I mean he
even sent him to Ukraine if you remember to negotiate
(19:04):
that rare earth minerals deal with Zelenski, which didn't go
too well. But I mean that obviously was Zelenski's problem,
and he showed you the same attitude when he came
to the Oval Office, and Scott Besson was there as well.
So he's right at the heart of everything you know
that the government does. And he was in the situation
(19:25):
room with Donald Trump. He told me during you know,
the all this Iran drama, and he did say he
couldn't obviously talk about what was going on, but what
he did say is if the American people could see
the way President Trump conducts himself and the way he's
talking to international leaders, etc. They would feel very comforted
(19:47):
by the fact that he's doing such a good job.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You brought up him, Scott percent I'm sorry. In China, well,
this is a little snippet of all that.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
You just recently flew to London to have some pretty
willing trade negotiations with the Chinese. And I think this
was just over the sort of retaliatory measures that China
had slapped on America, for instance, magnets and some rare earths.
(20:19):
They had put a ban on and then we'd slapped
some payback to them. And so did you manage to
sort that out? And do you think that we're going
to get to a point that Donald Trump is that
he wants where China opens up to America.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
Well, on the whether they'll open up, we'll see. I
believe that Chinese were feeling more pain. Their system takes
pain better, but I believe it was probably very painful
for them because that we import three times more than
we sell to them. So we're the death of the country.
(20:58):
The history of trade wars, the surplus country always takes
more pain.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
And their economy is not doing very well, is it
at the time.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
They're in the middle of a real estate downturn. Some
might call it a crisis. They've had low growth. There's
something called the middle income trap port developing economies. And
what we will see with China is can they be
a reliable partner?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Miranda. I played that because I wanted to gauge how
adversarial the Trump administration actually is with China, and I
asked that very much on the heels of this report
from Cash. But tell that the Chinese were highly invested
in some way in making sure Donald Trump lost his
election to Joe Biden. And we don't know how much
(21:49):
they played a role in that. We don't know if
they actually got the presidency for them, but they did something,
or at least they attempted to.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
Yeah, it's fascinating, isn't it. We're hearing now about the
sort of Chinese malevolence. I mean, just the other day
the FBI picked up I think three scientists who are
trying to smuggle in some really awful biologic agent to
sabotage our agriculture. I think some sort of fungi. So,
(22:21):
I mean, that's frightening. I don't think that the Trump
administration is under any illusion that China is, you know,
our friend. And certainly the way that these trade negotiations
have been going, China thought that they had snooked us
because these these little rare earth magnets are in like
(22:43):
practically every motor and you know, quite a strategic problem
for us. But by the same token, you know, we
played hardball. The administration played hardball back, and two hundred
and fifty of their planes had been grounded by the
time Scott and Howard Lutnik met with them in London
(23:03):
last week, and they were being grounded at the rate
of two hundred and fifty a week because America just
said no more aircraft parts for you China. Marco Rubio
was saying, no more Chinese students. Howard Latnik Commerce department
had put a ban on a substance a petrochemical called ethane,
which is a crucial element of plastics, which of course
(23:25):
a lot of stuff out of China is made of plastics.
So you know, two can play at that game. And
I think that was a bit of a wake up
call for China, and they do, you know, I'm told
that the negotiator as they sent their vice president, a
guy called her there and they're all very respectful, particularly
of Scott Besant. I think they realized that it's a
(23:48):
new sheriff in town and no more of the sort
of week attitude. And really, I mean Joe Biden for
the millions of dollars tens of millions that he and
his family raped in from China, and the fact now
we're seeing with this new FBI revelations that China was
trying to manufacture some fake ballots or fake driver's licenses
(24:11):
to get fake votes on behalf of Joe Biden. You
can tell Joe Biden was China's man, and that's no
longer the case. And so I think what Scott Bessont
told me was that the administration is looking to do
a strategic decoupling from China. You can't do an entire
(24:32):
de coupling. You can't totally isolate in this kind of
globalist economy that we have, you can't completely isolate from China,
but you can ensure that they never again have the
power to withhold something like rare oath magnets from US
and threaten our national security and our economic security. So
(24:54):
that will never happen again. And he blames previous administrations
for allowing that situation to happen. I asked him, you
know about allowing China into the WTO back in two
thousand and one. Should people have known back then what
a disaster it would have been for American jobs? And
he said, Look, the problem that Larry Finker told him
(25:14):
is that it was capitalism without guardrails. You can't have that.
So they're trying to erect the guardrails again.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Miranda, I appreciate you. It is Pod force one. Everybody,
all right, we have a lot still hang on the
Supreme Court met today. A bunch of people are talking
about it, but these are legal matters. Therefore they go
(25:44):
way over my uneducated head. So we better bring in
someone who knows what they're talking about. And that brings
us to Alex Sawyer, author of a wonderful book, law
Let's Law Fair. She's a reporter for the Washington Times. Okay, Alex,
First and foremost, who's screw Metty? And why do I
need to know this person?
Speaker 11 (26:03):
You need to know this person because he's the Attorney
General of Tennessee. And he went to the Supreme Court
earlier this year defending a state law that basically says
youth that are looking to transition cannot have puberty blockers,
they cannot have surgery. The goal of the state was
really to protect youth from the unknown of the long
(26:27):
terms effect of this type of drugs, and that was
met by challenges. The state law was met by challenges
from three transgender youth and their family and a doctor
basically saying that that type of law violates the equal
Protection clause of the Constitution and that its sects discrimination.
(26:48):
So during oral arguments, which I will say was the
most attended oral arguments, of the term, going back to COVID.
Before the audio was released live. Usually the court was packed,
but now not so much since people can listen to
it remote. But this one drew all the attention for
the term, and it did seem like the age the
(27:11):
Tennessee ag had a better day in court. So I
wasn't all that surprised with today's ruling, which basically upheld
the state law in a six to three decision and said, yes,
the state of Tennessee can have this law. It's not
sex discrimination. According to the majority. They're saying, this law
is looking at age. It goes by age that there
(27:33):
are these medical treatments available to adults. And you know
also the fact that the treatment is based off of
a gender dysphoria the actual diagnosis, so you know, children
can still get puberty blockers when appropriate, but not to
treat gender dysphoria. The dissent the three Democratic appointees from
(28:00):
the ruling, saying that this puts transgender youth in danger,
that they could have high rates of anxiety and suicide
from this. So they were very disappointed with the way
the court went. What they wanted was the court to
send this back to lower courts and say that the
state had to meet a higher burden, essentially an intermediate
(28:23):
scrutiny showing why it was justified in passing this type
of law.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Okay, let's switch gears and talk about a federal judge
blocking Trump's order mandating biological sex on passports. I can't
believe we even have to fight things like this in
this wacko country of ours now. But this is surely
going to get shot down.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
Right, Yes, I foresee it will get shot down on appeal.
The judge has made this now a class action. We
are frequently seeing Biden appointees like this issue these nationwide
injunctions or temporary restraining orders that is looking to strike
(29:03):
down policies. So this was a policy out of the
State Department saying that we recognize biological sex. No more
X on your passport. You could see that there's a
national You could see there's a national security reason for that.
So I do believe that as this works its way
(29:23):
up the chain, courts will rule for the administration. They
typically do defer to the executive when it comes to
matters of national security, and when needing to identify someone
coming into this country, it would be helpful to know
if there's a male or female, not just an X
for identifications.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, yeah, it certainly would. Okay. So the culture war
stuff the Supreme Court, especially our side, has been much maligned,
and justifiably so for all the ways they've screwed things up,
but they appear to be pretty solid on the cultural
issues that keep landing in front of them. Am I wrong?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You are not wrong.
Speaker 11 (30:07):
They have this six to three majority, and with the
exception of really, we're not always sure where Roberts and
Barrett will go, but for the most part they have
been delivering wins for conservatives. Now I'm not sure. In
the next biggest case we're waiting for this term, it's
really the birthright citizenship case, And for your audience, basically,
(30:31):
the case was about President Trump's moved to end birthright citizenship,
and that's really when a child is born on US
soil but the parents are not US citizens, that child
is then given US citizenship and the President has looked
to end that. That was challenged and it was blocked
(30:51):
unsurprisingly nationwide. And that's really the issue that the Court
took up. The Supreme Court is weighing whether these lower
court judges have the ability to basically have a sweeping
injunction that blocks the executive policy nationwide rather than just
(31:11):
for the parties that brought that case to the district
court or in the jurisdiction in which it's brought. There
are some concerns, obviously, when we're talking about matters like
immigration having fractured court opinions and the idea that there
needs to be some uniformity in how they're enforced. But
which court that should be left up to, I think
(31:35):
is where the justices need to direct that opinion. Maybe
provide these lower court judges with a test about when
it is appropriate to issue such a sweeping nationwide injunction.
So I think that might be the type of guidance
we get from them in the next week or so.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Okay, Alex, So forgive my stupid question, but you're dealing
with the uneducated here. It doesn't sound to me like
you're talking about the Supreme Court actually ruling on birthright
citizenship or not. That doesn't sound like what they're going
to rule on. So we're all getting ourselves worked up
into a tizzy over nothing that is true.
Speaker 11 (32:12):
It is the Supreme Court, So could they say something
about birthright citizenship. Sure, but the issue they actually took
up out of the petition of this case was centered
on the issue of nationwide injunctions and if these district
courts have the ability to issue them. So what we're
really waiting on is guidance in that respect, which is
(32:34):
a bit more procedural than the actual merits of what
you just mentioned. Can the president and birthright citizenship?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Okay? Alex. Finally, the FBI leaker. Everybody remembers the Dobs
decision was leaked beforehand, and then the animals took to
the streets and death threats and assassination attempts and all
the things we've grown used to in this country. Did
the FBI ever track that person down or is he
hiding right next to the pipe bomber from January sixth?
Speaker 11 (33:04):
Yeah, might be hiding. I think you're right on that.
I think the reason the court didn't invite the FBI
in to do a thorough investigation there was the thought
of wanting to keep the executive branch agencies out of
the judiciary for better or worse. I think a lot
of people want some sort of accountability there. It was
(33:26):
such a grave mistake and it has I think, continued
to deteriorate the trust in the judiciary and made it
look all that more political. That's something I get into
in my book Lawless, Law Fair, about the loss of
the trust in the court system. It's looking more and
more like political battlefields than a court room.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
No, no, no, Alex, best of luck. Hope your book
does well. All right. Democrats keep pulling crap to get
them elected. That's what I say they're doing. They're getting arrested,
but they're trying to get electives. What they're trying to do.
We'll talk about that in a moment. First, let me
talk to you about something much more important than that.
We're talking about my YouTube channel. Have you subscribed yet?
(34:13):
It's free, No one's charging you for anything there. You
want these little videos, little highlights, things like that. It's
going to take your little phone and scan the thing
and subscribe. All right, we'll be back. All right, let's
(34:37):
talk about the Democrat party getting arrested, getting elected. Let's
talk about human beings. You know, human beings. We copy
successful behavior. That's why social media is big for this. Now,
do you have social media. I'm not recommending it if
you don't, but if you have social media now, and
let's say you're trying to get in shape, be trying
(35:00):
to get in shape. What are you gonna do. You're
gonna go follow a bunch of accounts of these fitness
freaks and then they're gonna show you what they cook
and their workout plan and whatnot. We're looking and we're learning,
we're looking at what works. Look at that dude, he's
got six pack abs. I'm gonna go do what he's doing. Oh,
look at her, her legs look great. I'm gonna go
do what she's doing. Politics works in the exact same way.
(35:23):
Political parties, politicians, they study each other all the time
and they try to figure out what works, what doesn't work.
And the communists in this country, sorry, democrats, the Democrats
in this country discovered something wild. You see. They grabbed
all this political power. They took over the university system,
(35:44):
They got a bunch of billionaires, foreign and domestic. They
did a whole bunch of things. But the things they
did had given them incredible political power. With DA's with
Attorney General, with the FBI, with the DOJ. They woke
up one day under Joe Biden, they had a cadaver
president who wouldn't hold them back from their worst impulses.
(36:04):
And they said, we have everything. We have the FBI,
we have prosecutors. Why don't we just arrest everybody we
don't like. Why don't we just use all this power
on our political opponents and then we'll be set for life.
Communists always think in this way, they always operate this way,
and so they did. And what was crazy was as
(36:27):
Democrats were sitting there arresting Donald Trump, arresting January six ers, prosecuting,
doing all these things, all these crazy things, they very
clearly in the moment, at the moment, they thought they
were winning. Every time Trump got elected, Remember we got
elected arrested. When Trump got arrested in Georgia, Remember when
(36:48):
they put his mug shot up online? Ah haha. Remember
when Joe Biden even tried to dunk on them, Hey
I hear you're free on Wednesdays when he was in
the middle of his New York trial. When Joe Biden
and the communists put Donald Trump, in particular, through all
these ridiculous legal law fare, at the time, they thought,
we're getting them, we're getting them, We're getting them. But
(37:11):
something else was happening. And because they live in this
horrible bubble, they didn't realize it at the time. There
was a primary in the GOP. Remember that no one
hardly remembers. But Donald Trump had a very formidable opponent.
I believe he probably would have always beaten Ron DeSantis,
because Trump's the most popular Republican in the country. But
that was within ten or so. It was inclosing. It
(37:32):
was closing. The country was looking at the Santus, liking
what he said, liking what he done. Donald Trump got arrested.
I don't think it was ever within thirty points. Again,
Boom Kong and the Democrats tried to excuse that, Okay,
whatever the GOP. Their base is crazy anyway, a bunch
of extremists. Surely the general election voter will be bothered.
(37:54):
And so they all started running on he's a felon,
He's a convicted felon. Look at this, You're gonna vote
for a felon. But it wasn't just the GOP primary voter.
The American people watched as those savages kept arresting and
prosecuting their political opponent, and every time they did, Donald
Trump's bull numbers went up, up, up, up, up up,
Now you're a Democrat today, you're sitting around post election,
(38:16):
you've lost the presidency, the House, the Senate, and you're
wondering what happened. I don't understand. We arrested him, and
very very clearly, the light bulb boom has gone on.
Getting arrested on camera by your political opponents. It's good
(38:36):
for business when you're a politician. Makes the people feel
like you're one of them, helps keep you in office.
Why do you think a United States senator charged the
podium when Christynoman was speaking.
Speaker 12 (38:48):
I'm a senator, Alexiudia. I have questions for the secretary
because the fact of the matter is half a dozen
seing criminals that you're hitting on your on your I
also head off.
Speaker 11 (39:03):
Many of ours have been dosed.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
For in your beauty.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
They have targeted.
Speaker 13 (39:09):
Hands on your back, behind my back, all right, cool hand.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Lace lay flat, lay flat, other hands.
Speaker 7 (39:19):
Other hand.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Well, I do that. If you're a senator. There are
a million ways you can get a hold of Christy
home they wanted it to happen. Now is on the
Senate floor, faint, crying about the whole thing. I was
forced to the ground.
Speaker 14 (39:43):
First on my knees, and then flat on my chest
mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
And it's those.
Speaker 15 (39:54):
Handcuffed and marched down a hallway, repeatedly asking why am
I being detained?
Speaker 14 (40:07):
Not once did they tell me why. I pray you
never have a moment electness, but I will tell you.
In that moment, a lot of questions came to my mind.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Oh please, you got handcuffed for five minutes. It happens
to everybody. I've been handcuffed a couple of times. It's
really not that big of a deal. What's he trying
to do is trying to get elected again? That's currency.
Now he's not alone, This is caught on. This loser,
Brad Lander in New York City has no chance in
this mayoral primary. He's up against Cuomo. He's up against
(40:44):
this weird foreigner didactor day after that. I can't say
the guy's name, but Brad needed a little positive pub.
So what do you do when you need some positive
pub You get arrested.
Speaker 8 (40:54):
Please stop, step please step back, step back on, step back,
step back.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
You don't have the authority for the best US citizens.
Speaker 11 (41:09):
Where are you taking him?
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Hello?
Speaker 11 (41:16):
Where are you taking the controller?
Speaker 1 (41:18):
And with what authority?
Speaker 11 (41:21):
Why are you arresting the city controller and where are
you taking?
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Hang on with number one? Hold on, hold on, hold on,
They're all trying. Why do you think Gavin Newsom has
been all over the television set since all this ice
stuff in l A began? Why do you think Gavin
Newsom has been practically begging to be arrested? Tom Home
(41:51):
and the borders are said to me yesterday he did
not rule out.
Speaker 16 (41:55):
Literally arresting you, nor mayor Bass if you interfere in
his you have.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
He's a tough guy, wasn't he do that? He knows
where to find me.
Speaker 13 (42:03):
But you know what, lay your hands off four year
old girls that are trying to get educated, Play your
hands off. These poor people are just trying to get
live their lives. Man trying to live their lives, pay
their taxes, been here ten years, The fear, the horror,
the hell is this guy come after me?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Arrest me? Let's just get it over with.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Tough guy.
Speaker 13 (42:24):
You know, I don't give a damn, but I care
about my community.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
I care about this community. The hell are they doing?
Speaker 13 (42:31):
These guys need to grow up, They need to stop,
and we need to push back. And I'm sorry to
be so clear, but that kind of bloviating is exhausting.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
So tom arrest me. Let's go. That's a man trying
very hard to be the Democrat nominee in twenty twenty eight.
Trust me, it's not about four year old girls. All right,
let's go make fun of WHOOPI goldber ungrateful? Which next?
(43:06):
All right, it is time to lighten the mood. And
there is just something that grades on me, but at
the same time it makes me laugh. That's why we're
doing it for light in the mood is people, especially
feminist types, but really, any people who luxuriate in this
country and talk about how horrible it is here all
(43:29):
the time either no perspective at all or they're lying.
I remember I went to Europe. Went to Europe. Haven't
been to Europe a bunch, right, But we went to
Europe as a family who wanted to go see a
couple of things. And of course we go during the
summer to get out of Houston, because Houston's miserable in
the summer. We go there to cool off. We're Czech
(43:50):
Republic in Austria, and of course the biggest heat wave
they've ever had hits as soon as we get there,
so it's roastings. In the nineties, it's hot, and I
remember restaurants hotels would advertise on the street if they
had air conditioning. It was so rare that it was
the selling point to walk into a restaurant. Here in
(44:11):
the United States of America, wherever you happen to be
watching me right now, unless you're out mowing the grass,
you were in the air conditioning. We have everything here,
and yet we have so many brain dead feminist tags
on television who say things like this.
Speaker 17 (44:29):
I think it's very different in the United States in
twenty twenty five than it is to live in.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
An You're not for everybody, not.
Speaker 16 (44:34):
Every black guys don't vote a Duran do not any
know said no, nobody wants to diminish them very real
problems we have in this country.
Speaker 17 (44:43):
Well know it Win's intention, but I think it's important
we remember there are places much darker than this country
and people who deserve right.
Speaker 18 (44:49):
Not everybody feels that way. Not everybody feels that way. Listen,
I'm sorry. You know, when you think about the fact
that we were we got the vote in nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 17 (45:00):
You can okay, they don't have free and fair elections
in Iran, but it's not even the same universe.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
They can't go out of their house.
Speaker 18 (45:08):
You know what, There's no there's no way I can
make you understand.
Speaker 16 (45:12):
It's like it's like try to reverse roles with a
with a black person in this country, let's say, because
I think that's what you're talking about. Just try to
understand from that point of view. From that point of view,
this country does not do them well, does not go.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
There's no way I can make you understand. No, No,
I understand perfectly well. You communist ungrateful hag, which I
understand perfectly well. You want to remain at the top
of the victim ladder forever because it serves you quite well,
that's what I understand. I'll see them all
