[00:03:05] WELCOME TO WASHINGTON JOURNAL. LET'S GET IT UPDATE REALLY QUICK
[00:03:08] ON IRAN.
[00:03:12] THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF TODAY'S PAPER.
[00:03:16] IRAN SAYS IT IS NOT HOLDING
[00:03:16] DIRECT TALKS.
[00:03:20] IRAN REITERATED SUNDAY IT IS NOT
[00:03:22] HOLDING DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE U.S. AND IT WOULD NOT
[00:03:25] RESTART DIPLOMATIC TALKS UNTIL WASHINGTON AGREES TO CERTAIN
[00:03:30] CONDITIONS AND STOP VIOLATING
[00:03:34] THE ISLAMABAD MEMORANDUM. IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS THE
[00:03:38] SEPARATE DISCUSSIONS OVER CONTROL OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ
[00:03:42] ARE IN FINAL STAGES.
[00:03:45] BUT WARNS THAT ANY AGREEMENTS REACHED WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY
[00:03:49] REOPEN THE WATERWAYS WHICH HAS REMAINED CLOSE TO COMMERCIAL
[00:03:53] SHIPPING FOUR WEEKS.
[00:03:56] IRAN AND OMAN HAVE HELD DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS OVER MANAGEMENT OF
[00:04:00] THE STRAIGHT AFTER THE SIGNING OF THE DEFUNCT MOU.
[00:04:07] THE INCOMING DEAL WOULD OUTLINE SPECIFIC GROWTH THAT COMMERCIAL
[00:04:11] SHIPS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO TAKE.
[00:04:17] YESTERDAY ON ABC THIS WEEK THE
[00:04:22] FORMER TRUMP DEFENSE SECRETARY TALKED ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
[00:04:26] APPROACH TO IRAN.
[00:04:37] >> WE'VE HEARD THE PRESIDENT CLAIMED TO HAVE BIG TALKS ON
[00:04:39] IRAN AND THEN BACK OFF SAYING
[00:04:43] THERE IS NEGOTIATIONS, WHAT DOES THAT DO TO AMERICA'S CREDIBILITY AROUND THE WORLD?
[00:04:48] HOW DO ADVERSARIES STARTED TO
[00:04:48] VIEW THOSE THREATS?
[00:04:52] >> CLEARLY THE IRANIANS HAVE
[00:04:57] FIGURED THIS OUT. THEY ARE NOT REACTING TO THIS THREAT.
[00:05:01] THEY ARE TAKING VERY STRATEGIC POSITIONS. YOU SAW THEM PUT FORWARD THIS
[00:05:05] PLAN THAT THEY WILL UNVEIL AT
[00:05:09] SOME POINT. THEY ARE CONFIDENT ABOUT THEIR
[00:05:13] POSITION IN THE WORLD. THEY ARE FLEXING THEIR MUSCLES
[00:05:16] BY USING THIS.
[00:05:19] THE WHO THESE -- HOUTHIS
[00:05:28] -- IN TEHRAN THEY TOOK SOME
[00:05:35] SHOTS ON THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA TO SHOW THE RANGE OF THE WEAPONS.
[00:05:42] THE U.S. ALLY ABOUT SUPPORTING U.S. OPERATIONS.
[00:05:45] THEY ARE EXPANDING THE CONFLICT IN MANY WAYS.
[00:05:47] HOST: ALSO HAPPENING IN THE
[00:05:52] MIDDLE EAST, NETANYAHU REJECTS
[00:05:55] NEXT PHASE OF TRUMP'S GAZA PLAN.
[00:05:59] HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS, IS REALLY
[00:06:03] PREGNANT -- PRIME MINISTER
[00:06:05] NETANYAHU REJECTED TRUMP'S PLANS
[00:06:08] , A RARE PUBLIC REALLY -- BREAK WITH THE U.S. LEADER.
[00:06:18] THE GRADUAL WITHDRAWAL FROM THE
[00:06:20] ENCLAVE WHICH THE ISRAELI LEADERS SAID SUNDAY COULDN'T
[00:06:23] HAPPEN UNTIL HAMAS WAS FULLY DISARMED.
[00:06:28] THE COLLAPSE OF THE PEACE
[00:06:29] PROCESS IN GAZA WOULD ROB TRUMP
[00:06:33] OF WHAT HIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DESCRIBED AS A MAJOR FOREIGN
[00:06:36] POLICY ACHIEVEMENT AS THE
[00:06:41] PRESIDENT IS EMBROILED IN THE IRAN WAR. HE HAS COME UNDER PRESSURE TO
[00:06:44] AGREE TO THE DEAL TO DISARM
[00:06:50] HAMAS.
[00:06:54] NETANYAHU IS HAVING ELECTIONS,
[00:06:57] THIS IS HIS QUOTE.
[00:07:01] ISRAEL REJECTS THE 15 POINT DOCUMENT.
[00:07:05] WHEN I SAY THE DISARMAMENT OF
[00:07:07] HAMAS I MEAN HEAVY WEAPONS,
[00:07:11] LIGHT WEAPONS, ALL OF THE WEAPONS.
[00:07:15] THAT IS AT THE WALL STREET JOURNAL IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT.
[00:07:23] YESTERDAY REPRESENTATIVE ALEXANDRIA GARCIA CORTEZ SPOKE
[00:07:26] ABOUT THE GENERATIONAL DIVIDE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
[00:07:28] >> ANOTHER PERSON IS HASSAN
[00:07:35] PIKER YOU HAVE BEEN ON HIS
[00:07:38] LIVESTREAM AT LEAST A FEW TIMES.
[00:07:41] HE IS SOMEBODY WHO SAID AMERICA
[00:07:46] DESERVE 9/11, NOW HE HAS BACKED OFF FROM THAT.
[00:07:50] IS HE SOMEBODY THAT SHOULD HAVE
[00:07:52] A ROLE IN THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT GOING FORWARD?
[00:07:56] >> WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR ELECTIONS
[00:08:00] THAT HAVE HAPPENED.
[00:08:03] MUCH WAS MADE ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE LOST YOUNG MEN IN THIS ELECTION.
[00:08:10] MANY OF THE SAME CONSULTANTS WRINGING THEIR HANDS TODAY WERE
[00:08:13] THE SAME ONES TALKING ABOUT HOW
[00:08:18] WE NEED TO GO ON JOE ROGAN AND
[00:08:19] WE NEED TO BE NOT SO WILLING TO
[00:08:25] ENGAGE IN CANCEL CULTURE.
[00:08:30] I THINK THE FLIP-FLOPPING ON
[00:08:32] THIS IS TACTICAL, I THINK THE
[00:08:37] FACT OF THE MATTER IS DEMOCRATS
[00:08:41] COULD GO ON FOX NEWS, DEMOCRATS COULD GO ON JOE ROGAN.
[00:08:45] THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO BUILD A WINNING COALITION.
[00:08:49] YOUNG PEOPLE ARE ENGAGING IN MEDIUMS AND CONVERSATIONS THAT
[00:08:52] WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ATTEND TO AND BE RESPONSIVE TO.
[00:08:59] WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS IN CERTAIN
[00:09:02] WAVES. OFTEN TIMES WHEN PEOPLE ARE
[00:09:06] DOING THAT MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKING, THE BIG ONE THAT
[00:09:09] IS BEING IGNORED IS THE
[00:09:13] GENERATIONAL WAVE OF ENTITLEMENT.
[00:09:20] MILLENNIALS ARE NOT PUNK KIDS
[00:09:23] ANYMORE. WE ARE GROWN ADULTS WITH
[00:09:26] MORTGAGES AND KIDS.
[00:09:30] THAT GENERATION IS STARTING TO
[00:09:31] BE DECISIVE AND THERE IS ANGER
[00:09:38] AT BEING IGNORED, SITE
[00:09:42] SIDELINES, HAVING OUR ECONOMIC FUTURES MORTGAGED ON EVERYTHING
[00:09:45] THAT CAME BEFORE US FROM THE ECONOMY TO CLIMATE.
[00:09:51] WE ARE TAKING THE REINS.
[00:09:51] HOST: WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR TOP
[00:09:56] NEWS STORY. WE WILL TALK TO DANIEL IN
[00:10:00] LOUISIANA INDEPENDENT LINE. CALLER: HOW ARE YOU DOING?
[00:10:04] HOST: GOOD.
[00:10:06] CALLER: I WILL TALK ABOUT A FEW
[00:10:11] THINGS HERE, HOPEFULLY YOU WON'T CUT ME OFF.
[00:10:14] I WAS WATCHING TED HUGHES TALK
[00:10:17] ABOUT THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD. TALKING ABOUT SIX DIFFERENT
[00:10:22] ORGANIZATIONS TIED TO POLITICIANS IN AMERICA.
[00:10:30] HAVE YOU COVERED THAT STORY ABOUT TED CRUZ?
[00:10:34] NOT ONE DEMOCRAT WAS THERE. NOT ONE SHOWED UP.
[00:10:36] HOST: WAS WHERE?
[00:10:38] CALLER: THE THING TED CRUZ PUT
[00:10:43] ON ABOUT THE TERRORIST CELL IN
[00:10:45] AMERICA SIX DIFFERENT
[00:10:49] ORGANIZATIONS TIED TO THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND MICHIGAN GUYS.
[00:10:53] WAKE UP AMERICA.
[00:10:55] 15 SENATORS ARE MUSLIMS.
[00:10:59] HOST: YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
[00:11:05] MUSLIMS AND THE ORGANIZATION
[00:11:07] CALLED THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
[00:11:10] AND TERRORISM IN THE UNITED STATES.
[00:11:13] ARE YOU CONFLATING EVERY MUSLIM LAWMAKER WITH THE BROTHERHOOD?
[00:11:17] YOU SAID ABDUL ALL SYED?
[00:11:21] CALLER: IF YOU WATCH TED HUGHES
[00:11:26] HEARING, NOT ONE DEMOCRAT SHOWED UP.
[00:11:30] SIX DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS,
[00:11:34] TERRORIST CELLS HERE IN AMERICA. PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP.
[00:11:38] THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THAT.
[00:11:40] HOST: HERE IS SOME INFORMATION
[00:11:45] ABOUT THAT. THIS IS FROM THE U.S. JUDICIARY
[00:11:49] SENATE COMMITTEE.
[00:11:52] IT SAYS THIS IS FROM THE
[00:11:56] SUBCOMMITTEE ON FEDERAL COURTS HIT AND SAYS HIDDEN IN PLAIN
[00:12:01] SIGHT ATTRACTING THE MUSLIM
[00:12:03] BROTHERHOOD NETWORK IN AMERICA,
[00:12:06] THAT HAPPENED ON AUGUST 5 AT 2:30.
[00:12:12] WE DID COVER IT ON C-SPAN.
[00:12:15] IF YOU MISSED IT AND YOU LIKE TO
[00:12:17] WATCH IT, YOU COULD CLICK ON
[00:12:21] THAT LINK AND WATCH THE ENTIRE VIDEO.
[00:12:36] CALLER: I OUT I HOPE I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE WAY BLANCHE
[00:12:38] WAS CONFIRMED THE WEE HOURS OF
[00:12:44] SATURDAY MORNING.
[00:12:47] MAKING MAJOR NEWS ON A FRIDAY SO FEWER PEOPLE READ ON A SATURDAY.
[00:12:52] IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE OF PEOPLE
[00:12:54] WANTED TO FOLLOW THE NEWS LIVE
[00:12:57] BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE SLEEPING ON THE WEEKEND.
[00:13:02] THERE ARE SO MANY REASONS WHY
[00:13:04] THIS 49-50 RESULT DOES NOT
[00:13:12] REFLECT ANY KIND OF VOLUNTARY
[00:13:14] AGREEMENT, YOU HAVE PEOPLE LIKE
[00:13:17] TILLIS AND CORNYN WHO ORIGINALLY SAID THEY WILL OPPOSE.
[00:13:24] PARTLY BECAUSE OF THEIR POSSIBLE
[00:13:29] LOSS OF PRIVILEGES TO GO TO THE
[00:13:33] SENATE FLOOR AFTER THEY LEAVE OFFICE AND HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR
[00:13:36] FORMER COLLEAGUES.
[00:13:45] HOST: HOW DO YOU KNOW THERE WAS
[00:13:50] ARM-TWISTING AS FAR AS IF YOU DON'T CONFIRM WE WILL NOT LET
[00:13:53] YOU BACK HERE? WHERE DO YOU GET THAT INFORMATION?
[00:13:58] CALLER: THEY STATED CLEARLY
[00:14:02] THERE REASONS FOR OPPOSING HIM.
[00:14:05] HOST: THEY SAID OF THE
[00:14:09] ANTI-WEAPONIZATION FUND WAS DEAD THEY WOULD SUPPORT THEM SO THEY VOTED TO CONFIRM.
[00:14:13] CALLER: THEY REPORTED ON YOUR
[00:14:16] STATION AS WELL THE NATURE OF
[00:14:19] THE PROMISE MADE PREVENTS HIM
[00:14:22] FROM GOING BACK AND REINTRODUCING THE SUBSTANCE THAT
[00:14:26] HELP TO UNDER SOME OTHER NAME.
[00:14:29] PROMISING TO BAN ANY ATTEMPT TO
[00:14:36] REINTRODUCE THE ORIGINAL PLAN.
[00:14:40] YOU HAVE SOMEONE LIKE CASSIDY
[00:14:43] GOING FROM A NOTE TO A YES.
[00:14:46] IT SHOWED HE WAS UNDER INCREDIBLE STRESS.
[00:14:49] WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS BECAUSE OF SOME UNANNOUNCED
[00:14:52] THREATENING TO HIM OR SOME KIND
[00:14:56] OF FINANCIAL LOSS HE WAS BEING
[00:14:58] CONFRONTED WITH, LOSS OF THE
[00:15:02] OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MONEY OR
[00:15:08] WHETHER THERE WAS AN IMPLICIT THREAT.
[00:15:12] THE DAY AFTER THEY WANTED TO HELP REINFORCE.
[00:15:15] HOST: THAT IS SPECULATION, LET'S
[00:15:18] HEAR FROM SENATOR CASSIDY HE WAS
[00:15:22] ON PBS'S LEAD THE NATION.
[00:15:26] [VIDEO CLIP]
[00:15:27] >> YOU WERE SPECIFIC AND SOME OF
[00:15:31] YOUR CONCERNS. I KNOW ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL
[00:15:35] BLANCHE WHO SAID THEY HAD HOSTED
[00:15:39] DOCUMENTS INCLUDING RESENDING
[00:15:42] THE ORDER AND THEY HAD THE UNSIGNED STATEMENT THAT HE
[00:15:46] NARROWED THE TERMS OF THE TRUMP IRS PROTECTIONS YOU HAD OBJECTED TO.
[00:15:57] SENATOR DURBIN, WHO IS THE TOP
[00:15:59] DEMOCRAT ON JUDICIARY, THEY ARE
[00:16:03] UNENFORCEABLE, CORRECT?
[00:16:04] >> IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A
[00:16:07] BLACK-AND-WHITE DECISION HERE YOU WILL NOT FIND IT.
[00:16:12] THE ANTI-WEAPONIZATION FUND, IF
[00:16:14] YOU PUT IT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE JUDICIAL ENVIRONMENT, A PROCESS
[00:16:18] YOU HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH IN
[00:16:20] ORDER TO REINSTATE, YOU FIND OUT
[00:16:23] JOHN CORNYN, A FORMER STATE
[00:16:26] ATTORNEY GENERAL WAS COMFORTABLE WITH IT.
[00:16:29] >> THEY BASICALLY SAID WE CAN'T
[00:16:33] TAKE HIS WORD FOR IT. >> THE FACT THAT HE DID WAS
[00:16:37] IMPORTANT TO ME. TO A CERTAIN EXTENT BY RELYING
[00:16:41] ON OTHERS. I TRUST JOHN ON THAT.
[00:16:45] HOST: THAT WAS ON CBS.
[00:16:49] WE ARE TAKING YOUR CALL THIS MORNING ON YOUR TOP NEWS STORY OF THE DAY.
[00:16:53] WHAT YOU THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HAPPENING TODAY?
[00:16:59] THIS IS KEVIN, INDEPENDENT LINE.
[00:17:02] CALLER: CORRECT, IT IS COTILLION
[00:17:09] -- PAPILLION.
[00:17:14] THEY ARE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN THE DEMOCRATIC VOIDS IN AMERICA.
[00:17:18] TRUMP HAS TRIED WITH HIS
[00:17:20] BILLIONAIRE BUDDIES WITH THE TV
[00:17:23] NETWORKS TO GET MORE NEWS.
[00:17:27] TO ME, THAT IS RIDICULOUS.
[00:17:34] HOW IS TODD BLANCHE GOING TO GET IN?
[00:17:39] IF HE DIDN'T GET NOMINATED HE WOULD BE ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL .
[00:17:48] I DON'T SEE ANY DIFFERENCE ON ANY OF THAT.
[00:17:52] IN NEBRASKA RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A
[00:17:54] DEMOCRATIC VOICE.
[00:17:58] THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT THROUGH A
[00:18:00] NEBRASKA WINNER TAKE ALL IN OUR
[00:18:04] STATE. IT IS DIVIDED.
[00:18:06] WE HAVE TWO VOTES AND WE ARE
[00:18:10] TRYING TO SILENCE THAT HERE IN
[00:18:13] NEBRASKA WITH WINNER TAKE ALL.
[00:18:18] PETE RICKETTS BIG MONEY THROUGH
[00:18:25] AMERITRADE. HIS FATHER'S MONEY, HE'S ANOTHER
[00:18:28] ONE OF THE LITTLE SPOILED BRATS LIKE DONALD TRUMP.
[00:18:30] NEVER DID A DMAN THING IN HIS
[00:18:35] LIFE. I HAVE FRIENDS THAT WENT TO HIGH
[00:18:37] SCHOOL WITH HIM.
[00:18:40] HE WAS A SPOILED LITTLE RICH KID THEN, HE'S A SPOILED LITTLE RICH KID NOW.
[00:18:44] HOST: SPEAKING OF MONEY IN
[00:18:47] POLITICS, HERE'S WHAT SENATOR SANDERS SAID ON FACE THE NATION.
[00:18:51] [VIDEO CLIP]
[00:18:52] >> YOU HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER
[00:18:58] THAT WAS SHARED TO US CALLING
[00:19:01] FOR PUBLIC FUNDING OF ELECTIONS
[00:19:03] AND FOR THE PARTY TO PROHIBIT
[00:19:05] ENFORCEABLE ACTIONS FROM PARTICIPATING IN PRIMARY RACES.
[00:19:11] I UNDERSTAND YOUR PRINCIPLED ARGUMENT.
[00:19:14] THAT IS A FINANCIAL RESOURCE
[00:19:16] PROBLEM THAT IS VERY REAL COMPARED TO REPUBLICANS.
[00:19:22] WHY WOULD THE PARTY DISARM?
[00:19:27] SEN. SANDERS: WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT DISARMAMENT.
[00:19:33] WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
[00:19:35] IN MICHIGAN WHAT YOU HAD WAS
[00:19:43] AIPAC TRYING TO DEFEAT ABDUL.
[00:19:47] NOW THEY SAY WE WILL SIDE WITH THIS GUY ROGERS, WHO IS A
[00:19:52] REPUBLICAN. ESPECIALLY IT IS NOT JUST AIPAC.
[00:19:58] IT IS THE AI PEOPLE, IT IS CRYPTO.
[00:20:01] THEY WILL TAKE OVER THE PRIMARIES AND TRY TO GET THEIR POINT OF VIEW THROUGH.
[00:20:07] TO ME IT IS INSANE THE DEMOCRATS
[00:20:11] WILL ALLOW SOMEBODY TO COME IN
[00:20:14] AND THAT IF THEY LOSE GOING TO THE OTHER PARTY.
[00:20:15] >> YOU SAID YOU DON'T WANT
[00:20:19] DEMOCRATS UNILATERALLY DISARMED.
[00:20:22] YOU HIGHLIGHTED $60 MILLION TO
[00:20:26] DEFEAT DR. AL-SAYED.
[00:20:31] HALF OF IT CAME FROM AIPAC.
[00:20:36] THEY NOW SAY THEY WILL REPORT --
[00:20:39] SUPPORT THE REPUBLICAN IN THE GENERAL. ARE YOU OK WITH DEMOCRATS
[00:20:43] EXCEPTING PAC MONEY IN THE
[00:20:48] GENERAL BUT NOT THE PRIMARY? SEN. SANDERS: IN THE WORLD WE
[00:20:51] LIVE IN, THAT IS THE REALITY YOU
[00:20:56] CAN'T ALLOW DEMOCRATIC
[00:20:57] CANDIDATES TO BE OUTSPENT 50
[00:21:01] -ONE. DEMOCRATS COULD TAKE CHARGE OF
[00:21:03] WHAT TAKES PLACE WITHIN THEIR OWN PRIMARIES RIGHT NOW.
[00:21:11] DEMOCRATS COULD GET SUPER PAC'S OUT, THAT'S WHAT THEY SHOULD DO.
[00:21:13] HOST: WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR TOP
[00:21:18] NEWS STORY OF THE DAY. YOU COULD CALL US OR POST TO
[00:21:22] SOCIAL MEDIA. CHARLIE POSTED ON FACEBOOK AND
[00:21:26] SAID TO THE TOP NEWS STORY IS
[00:21:31] THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND SOCIALISM-COMMUNISM.
[00:21:34] DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE ENOUGH TO LIVE IN
[00:21:36] MANHATTAN, GEORGETOWN WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP THEM IN THE
[00:21:41] LIFESTYLE THAT THEY THINK THEY DESERVE.
[00:21:44] THE BOGEYMAN ARE BUSINESS PEOPLE THAT HAVE SUCCEEDED.
[00:21:48] SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN
[00:21:52] SUCCESSFUL SO THEY HAVE TAKEN SOMETHING AWAY FROM ME AND NEED
[00:21:56] TO BE PUNISHED. REPUBLICANS ARE THE PARTY OF
[00:22:00] SELF-DETERMINATION. DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF EVERY KID DESERVES A TROPHY.
[00:22:07] ON THE REPUBLICAN LINE, HACIENDA HEIGHTS CALIFORNIA.
[00:22:12] CALLER: I JUST WANTED TO TALK
[00:22:17] ABOUT PRICES. I SPENT SOME TIME DOING SHOPPING
[00:22:19] OVER THE WEEKEND. SPECIFICALLY FOOD SHOPPING.
[00:22:25] THEY ARE HIGH HERE, THEY ARE PROBABLY PRETTY HIGH EVERYWHERE.
[00:22:29] I DON'T KNOW HOW FAMILIES ARE DOING IT.
[00:22:33] STUFF THAT YOU EXPECT A HIGH --
[00:22:35] TO BE HIGH ARE ASTRONOMICAL NOW.
[00:22:38] THERE COMES A POINT WHERE I HAVE
[00:22:41] A FEELING PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
[00:22:42] STOP BUYING THE THINGS THEY
[00:22:45] NORMALLY DO AND REVOLT UNTIL
[00:22:48] THESE PRICES COME DOWN.
[00:22:53] I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
[00:22:55] IT FROM 2019 THROUGH 2026,

[00:23:24] IT COVID'S FAULT THE WAY IT WAS HANDLED?
[00:23:27] HOST: WHERE WOULD YOU PLACE THE
[00:23:31] BLAME? CALLER: I HAVE TO THINK IT WAS
[00:23:35] COVID, SHUTTING DOWN ALL OF
[00:23:36] THOSE BUSINESSES PEOPLE WERE
[00:23:39] UNABLE TO HANDLE THIS, TOO MUCH MONEY SUPPLY APPARENTLY.
[00:23:44] HOST: THAT SHUTDOWN WAS SIX
[00:23:48] YEARS AGO, DO YOU STILL THINK
[00:23:50] THEY ARE CAUSING THIS FOR PRICES TO BE THAT HIGH IN THE GROCERY
[00:23:53] STORE?
[00:23:54] CALLER: I COULDN'T REALLY SLEEP
[00:23:58] LAST NIGHT BECAUSE OF IT. THERE HAS TO BE A CORRELATION
[00:24:01] BETWEEN THE COVID SITUATION AND PRICES TRIPLING IN THE LAST SIX YEARS.
[00:24:08] I'M STANDING IN A MINIMART
[00:24:10] GETTING GAS, I LOOK AT CANDY BARS, FOUR DOLLARS EACH.

[00:25:46] LOOK WHAT TRUMP SAID, HE APPROVED AND VERIFIED THAT.
[00:25:50] THEY ARE BOTH GUILTY ON THAT.
[00:25:52] AS FAR AS THE POLITICIANS BEING
[00:25:57] ACCUSED. I THINK I WOULD BE ASKING FOR A
[00:25:59] POLYGRAPH TEST SO I COULD PROVE
[00:26:04] MYSELF. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE E. JEAN CARROLL TAKE ONE JUST APPROVED.
[00:26:08] I BELIEVE JEAN CAROL.
[00:26:10] ABOUT THIS WAR, YOU ARE ALL GOOD
[00:26:21] FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. ONLY GOOD FOR THE UNDERTAKER.
[00:26:24] I FEEL LIKE WE ARE LOCKED AND
[00:26:28] UNTIL WE GET LEADERS TO THINK
[00:26:32] LIKE JOHN LENNON AND IMAGINE WE WILL BE HEADING FOR DISTRACTION.
[00:26:37] HAVE YOU EVER READ THE IRON WALL
[00:26:41] WRITTEN IN 1923? HOST: I CAN'T SAY THAT I HAVE.
[00:26:44] CALLER: HE EXPLAINS HOW HE WAS
[00:26:50] GOING TO FOLLOW AMERICA'S WAY.
[00:26:55] THAT'S WHAT HE WAS GOING TO ACTUALLY FOLLOW.
[00:27:01] THEY ARE OVER THERE AND KILLING
[00:27:04] A LOT OF PALESTINIANS.
[00:27:08] THESE PEOPLE NEED TO GET THEIR
[00:27:11] LEADERS TO START STEPPING ON
[00:27:13] BENJAMIN'S TOES BECAUSE ISRAEL
[00:27:16] IS DOING WRONG.
[00:27:24] HOST: WE WILL WATCH THE ELECTION
[00:27:28] AND -- IN ISRAEL AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT.
[00:27:31] CALLER: INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE, THAT
[00:27:35] IS WHY AMERICANS, WE HAVE A
[00:27:39] BUNCH OF COUNTRIES.
[00:27:43] WE HAD A BUNCH OF COUNTRIES.
[00:27:45] HOST: WE WILL MOVE ON TO MICHAEL
[00:27:50] IN CONNECTICUT, GOOD MORNING.
[00:27:50] CALLER: QUICK QUESTION, I WILL
[00:27:55] THROW IT TO YOU AS AN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION OF THE DAY.
[00:27:59] WHEN I SAY YOU I WILL SEE YOU AND THE ENTIRE AUDIENCE.
[00:28:04] I WILL LEAVE OUT THE LAST WORD AND I GUARANTEE YOU EVERYONE
[00:28:07] LISTENING WILL HAVE THE SAME ANSWER.
[00:28:10] WE ARE A NATION OF WHAT?
[00:28:19] CALLER: LAWS.
[00:28:23] WHEN I SAY TIME I MEAN TODAY.
[00:28:27] JUST TO PROVE TODD BLANCHE, WHO MADE IT VERY CLEAR HE WANTS THIS
[00:28:30] PRESIDENT TO BE ABOUT THE LAW.
[00:28:32] HE MADE THAT VERY CLEAR BEFORE THEY APPROVED HIM AS THE NEXT
[00:28:36] ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE PEOPLE.
[00:28:38] HOST: WHY DO YOU SAY HE PROVES
[00:28:42] HE WANTS PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BE ABOVE THE LAW?
[00:28:46] CALLER: HE HAS MADE IT CLEAR
[00:28:51] SAYING THIS PRESIDENT IS ABOVE THE LAW AND HIS FAMILY.
[00:28:59] SAYING THIS PRESIDENT SHOULD BE
[00:29:04] ABOVE INVESTIGATION. HOST: YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IRS AUDITS?
[00:29:11] CALLER: NOT JUST HIM BUT HIS
[00:29:15] FAMILY AS WELL. THERE'S ONLY ONE REASON YOU WANT TO PROTECT SOMEBODY FROM
[00:29:19] INVESTIGATION. WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS.
[00:29:23] THERE IS AN ENTIRE POLITICAL
[00:29:25] PARTY, WE KNOW THE PARTY WHO SIMPLY REFUSED TO DO THEIR JOB.
[00:29:32] THE REPUBLICANS AND SIMPLY REFUSE TO CHECK AND BALANCE THIS
[00:29:36] PRESIDENT. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO IT,
[00:29:39] THEY HAVEN'T DONE IT TO DATE. REAL SIMPLE THE PEOPLE OF THIS
[00:29:44] COUNTRY, I HAVE VERY LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THEM.
[00:29:47] THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY ON
[00:29:50] ELECTION DAY HAVE TO TELL ALL REPUBLICANS WE ARE GOING TO PUSH
[00:29:53] YOU OUT UNTIL WE COULD FIX THIS PROBLEM.
[00:29:56] WE NEED TO GET PEOPLE IN HERE WHO WILL CHECK AND BALANCE THIS
[00:30:00] GUY, CURRENT REPUBLICANS IN
[00:30:04] CHARGE WANT TO KEEP HIM ABOVE THE LAW.
[00:30:05] HOST: ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE
[00:30:10] CURRENT SLATE OF DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES?
[00:30:14] CALLER: I DON'T THINK I HAVE
[00:30:18] EVER BEEN HAPPY. I'M AN INDEPENDENT. I HAVE VOTED REPUBLICAN AND
[00:30:22] DEMOCRAT MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE.
[00:30:25] AM I HAPPY WITH ALL OF THEM? NO.
[00:30:28] AM I PLEASED WITH MANY? YES.
[00:30:30] THERE ARE SOME REPUBLICAN WHO I
[00:30:33] HAPPEN TO LIKE. THE PROBLEM IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
[00:30:38] YOU NEED TO TEACH EVERYONE OF THEM A LESSON THAT UNTIL YOU
[00:30:42] START DOING YOUR JOB WE HAVE TO VOTE YOU OUT AND BRING IN
[00:30:46] REPUBLICANS AT SOME POINT WHO
[00:30:53] WILL TAKE THE CONSTITUTION SERIOUSLY AND BEGIN TO UP RIGHT
[00:30:57] THIS SHIP THAT IS SINKING
[00:31:01] QUICKLY AND BADLY. WE HAVE TO VOTE OUT ALL OF THE
[00:31:03] REPUBLICANS THAT HAVE RUN THE GOVERNMENT.
[00:31:07] HOST: WE HAVE RICHARD.
[00:31:11] GOOD MORNING.
[00:31:11] CALLER: THIS PREVIOUS CALLER WAS
[00:31:17] TALKING ABOUT WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS. I'M THINKING REALLY?
[00:31:23] WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN TOOK OVER
[00:31:24] THEY HAD OPEN BORDERS AND LET IN
[00:31:31] 10 MILLION PEOPLE OVER FOUR YEARS.
[00:31:37] I DON'T THINK THAT WAS LEGAL.
[00:31:43] NOBODY DID ANYTHING TO SLOW IT DOWN OR STOP IT UNTIL THERE WAS
[00:31:46] A CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION.
[00:31:53] WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PRICES AND ALL OF THAT.
[00:32:12] HOST: YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GROCERY PRICES?
[00:32:15] CALLER: NO I'M TALKING ABOUT HOUSING, MEDICAL.
[00:32:18] ONE THING THAT I'VE SEEN OVER THE YEARS IS THAT I'M IN
[00:32:22] CALIFORNIA.
[00:32:22] WE HAVE ONE PARTY RULE.
[00:32:28] THAT SEEMS TO BE FAIR WITH THE
[00:32:32] DEMOCRATS. THERE ARE 52 DISTRICTS AND THE
[00:32:36] DEMOCRATS CONTROL 43 OF THEM.
[00:32:39] REPUBLICANS HAVE NINE AND I
[00:32:42] GUESS THIS NEXT ELECTION COMING UP WE MAY LOSE FOUR.
[00:32:45] THAT WILL MAKE THE DEMOCRATS
[00:32:50] DOWN TO FIVE.
[00:32:53] 52 DISTRICTS THEN REPUBLICANS
[00:32:57] HAVE FIVE. JUST TAKE A WELCOME AT CALIFORNIA.
[00:33:00] PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THE STATE.
[00:33:06] I LIKE TO TELL EVERYBODY THAT
[00:33:09] YOU WANT TO LOOK IN THE FUTURE,
[00:33:12] I THINK BIG THING THEY USE HERE IS CLIMATE CHANGE.
[00:33:16] WE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY OUT OF
[00:33:20] OUR JUST BASIC INCOME TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE.
[00:33:24] MAYBE IN 100 YEARS IF WE DO
[00:33:29] EVERYTHING RIGHT IT WILL BE LIKE LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OR THE
[00:33:32] TEMPERATURE MAY CHANGE.
[00:33:34] UTILITY RATES ARE HIGH.
[00:33:40] THEN GOVERNOR NEWSOME HE WANTS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
[00:33:43] I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK.
[00:33:46] THERE'S SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.
[00:33:49] ONE LAST THING.
[00:33:51] THERE WAS A TOLL, 50% OF THE
[00:33:55] KIDS COMING OUT OF SCHOOL, 20 TO
[00:34:00] 30 THEY DON'T KNOW WHY ME
[00:34:02] COMMEMORATE JULY 4th.
[00:34:04] IT'S LIKE YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
[00:34:08] HOST: THIS IS WHAT BARB IN ILLINOIS SAYS.
[00:34:11] HER TOP NEWS STORY IS THE IRANIAN NEGOTIATION IN OMAN
[00:34:14] WHICH PUT FORTH DEMANDS FOR THE
[00:34:16] U.S. TO REMOVE THE BLOCKADE AND
[00:34:19] LIFT SANCTIONS WHILE PARTIALLY
[00:34:22] OPENING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.
[00:34:26] KEVIN HASSETT IS TOP ECONOMIC ADVISOR ON PRESIDENT TRUMP HE
[00:34:29] WAS ON CNN'S STATE OF THE UNION TALKING ABOUT GAS PRICES.
[00:34:33] >> LET'S TALK ABOUT GAS PRICES. THEY ARE HIGH BECAUSE OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS STILL
[00:34:37] CLOSED. BECAUSE THE WAR IN IRAN.
[00:34:40] IRAN TAKING THE STRAIT HOSTAGE.
[00:34:42] A MONTH AGO YOU SAID UP BULLISH THERE'S GOING TO BE A HECK OF
[00:34:46] LOT TRAFFIC MOVING THROUGH EVERY SINGLE DAY.
[00:34:49] YOU EXPECT THAT THIS WILL CRUISE
[00:34:52] TO NORMALCY SOMETIME REALLY SOON.
[00:34:54] THAT IS NOT THE CASE RIGHT NOW.
[00:34:56] IRAN MOST RECENTLY HAS DELIVERED
[00:34:58] THE SET OF DEMANDS THAT MUST BE
[00:35:00] MET TO OPEN THE STRAIT. IT INCLUDES THE LIFTING OF THE
[00:35:04] NAVAL BLOCKADE AND SANCTIONS,
[00:35:06] WAR REPARATIONS THE RELEASE OF
[00:35:08] FROZEN IRANIAN ASSETS AND END
[00:35:10] ATTACKS ON IRAN'S ALLIES.
[00:35:14] I GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHEN REALLY SOON IS.
[00:35:17] >> IT'S HAPPENING ALREADY, JAKE.
[00:35:20] I DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH THE IRANIANS. I DON'T THINK I'LL BE VERY GOOD AT IT.
[00:35:24] THE FACT IS RIGHT IN THE PEAK OF
[00:35:27] THE CONFLICT EARLY ON, YOU SAW
[00:35:29] THAT OIL PRICES WERE GOING WAY NORTH OF $100 A BARREL.
[00:35:34] RIGHT NOW, THERE WERE HIGH 70'S LATE IN THE WEEK.
[00:35:38] THEY'RE RUNNING ABOUT 80 OVER THE WEEKEND.
[00:35:40] THE REASON OIL PRICES HAVE COME
[00:35:42] DOWN OUR EXCELLENT NAVY HAS BEEN ESCORTING SHIPS OUT OF THE GULF.
[00:35:46] WE'VE TAKEN A WHOLE NUMBER OF
[00:35:48] STEPS INCLUDING INCREASING
[00:35:51] PRODUCTION, WAIVING THE JONES ACT.
[00:35:55] 100 MILLION BARRELS OF GULF OF
[00:35:56] AMERICA PRODUCED OIL ARE SHIPPED
[00:36:00] IN THE EAST COAST. WE WAIVED JONES ACT.
[00:36:03] PRICES ARE STILL HIGHER THAN WE WOULD LIKE.
[00:36:05] WE'VE TAKEN A LOT OF STEPS WHEN
[00:36:07] THE GULF SITUATION IS RESOLVED,
[00:36:10] WE CAN EXPECT PRICES TO GO WAY DOWN BECAUSE OF ALL THESE NEW MEASURES.
[00:36:14] >> I KNOW YOU DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH THE IRANIANS YOU DO TALK
[00:36:17] ABOUT THE ECONOMY.
[00:36:19] YOU SAID YOUR BULLISH THERE WILL
[00:36:23] BE HECK OF A LOT OF TRAFFIC MOVING.
[00:36:25] IT'S NOT A HECK OF A LOT.
[00:36:29] >> THE PRICES WENT DOWN 50%.
[00:36:34] HOST: YOUR TOP NEWS STORY.
[00:36:36] JACKIE IS A REPUBLICAN, TOLEDO, OHIO.
[00:36:39] WHAT'S YOUR TOP NEWS STORY OF THE DAY? CALLER: I DON'T KNOW.
[00:36:43] I REALLY NEEDED TO CALL IN TODAY.
[00:36:46] THESE PEOPLE CALLING ME GOT ME SO MAD.
[00:36:49] PEOPLE SEEM TO FORGET THE FOUR YEARS OF HELL WE WERE PUT
[00:36:52] THROUGH WITH THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
[00:36:54] WE WERE PAYING $5, OVER $5 A
[00:36:57] GALLON FOR GAS. THERE WAS NO WAR WITH US.
[00:37:00] NOW WE GOT A WAR AND PEOPLE KEEP
[00:37:03] SAYING IT'S A WAR OF CHOICE. NO, IT WAS NOT.
[00:37:05] THERE WAS A MEETING AND ONE OF
[00:37:08] THE IRANIAN OFFICIALS THAT WAS
[00:37:10] REPRESENTING IRAN WAS BRAGGING
[00:37:12] THAT WITHIN TWO WEEKS THEY WOULD
[00:37:15] HAVE ENOUGH URANIUM AT THE GRADE
[00:37:19] THEY NEEDED FOR THE WEAPONS. THAT'S WHY TRUMP FELT THE NEED
[00:37:23] TO DO IT WHEN HE DID IT. AS FAST AS HE DID IT.
[00:37:26] THIS MAN STEPPED IN TO A HECK OF
[00:37:30] MESS. EVERY AMERICAN THIS COUNTRY SHOULD REALIZE THAT.
[00:37:33] THEY JUST HATE TRUMP SO MUCH. THIS MAN IS DOING EVERYTHING
[00:37:37] HE'S GOT TO SAVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
[00:37:40] PEOPLE BETTER WAKE UP.
[00:37:42] THE DEMOCRATS HAVE CHANGED INTO COMMUNISM.
[00:37:45] IT'S HAPPEN RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES.
[00:37:48] LOOK AT NEW YORK.
[00:37:51] HOST: JACKIE, I WANTED TO GO
[00:37:53] BACK TO THE PRICE OF GAS, YOU'RE
[00:37:57] CORRECT, $5.02 WAS THE MAXIMUM
[00:37:59] DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. BUT AT THE END OF THE
[00:38:03] ADMINISTRATION, IT WAS $3.11.
[00:38:05] WHICH IS HIGHER THAN IT IS NOW.
[00:38:07] WHICH IS OVER $4.
[00:38:10] I UNDERSTAND YOU THINK THAT --
[00:38:14] YOU SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S EFFORTS IN IRAN TO GO TO WAR
[00:38:18] WITH IRAN. HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THE
[00:38:22] AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL TOLERATE
[00:38:23] THAT ELEVATED GAS PRICE?
[00:38:28] CALLER: WELL, WE PUT UP WITH IT FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
[00:38:31] NOT ONLY THAT, LOOK AT THE FOOD.
[00:38:33] THE FOOD PRICES AT THE GROCERY
[00:38:35] STORE HAVE NEVER GONE DOWN SINCE
[00:38:40] WHAT BIDEN DID.
[00:38:41] IT'S NOT TRUMP'S FAULT.
[00:38:46] HOST: BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP
[00:38:47] PROMISED THAT HE WOULD LOWER
[00:38:51] PRICES. YOU REMEMBER THAT FROM THE
[00:38:55] ELECTION OF 2024.
[00:38:58] CALLER: HE DIDN'T KNOW HE WOULD HAVE TO GO TO WAR. IN ALL HONESTY.
[00:39:02] THESE PEOPLE NEED TO GIVE PRESIDENT TRUMP SOME SLACK.
[00:39:05] THEY BETTER WAKE UP BECAUSE IF YOU LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND YOU
[00:39:09] LOVE THE FREEDOMS THAT WE HAVE
[00:39:12] CHOICE WHAT WE WANTED AT THE GROCERY STORE.
[00:39:15] THEY'LL TAKE OVER ALL OF THEM.
[00:39:17] IT'S GOING TO BE RATIONING LINES.
[00:39:20] PEOPLE THAT I HEAR COMPLAINING
[00:39:22] OUGHT TO GO TO CUBA.
[00:39:25] IF THEY WANT TO LIVE LIKE THAT, THEY SHOULD CITY US. THIS US.
[00:39:29] THIS IS UNITED STATES. WE LOVE OUR FREEDOM. WE LOVE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE
[00:39:33] HAVE HERE.
[00:39:34] YOU CAN DO PRETTY MUCH WHATEVER
[00:39:37] YOU WANT. THESE SOCIALISTS COMMUNIST,
[00:39:42] THAT'S WHAT THEY TRULY ARE. THEY WILL TAKE OVER.
[00:39:45] WE WILL LOSE EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING THAT'S DEAR TO US. HOST: ALL RIGHT.
[00:39:50] HERE IS PAUL IN TEXAS
[00:39:52] INDEPENDENT LINE. HI, PAUL.
[00:39:56] CALLER: GOOD MORNING. I LIKE TO RESPOND TO THE LADY
[00:39:59] THAT JUST CALLED.
[00:40:01] I'M A MEMBER OF THE TEXAS
[00:40:05] SOLIDARITY PARTY.
[00:40:06] WE CALL OURSELVES A CHRISTIAN
[00:40:10] SOCIALIST PARTY.
[00:40:12] I WOULD RECOMMEND EVERYONE LOOK
[00:40:15] AT THEIR WEBSITE AND LOOK AT THE PLATFORM.
[00:40:19] IT'S BASED ON SCRIPTURE.
[00:40:21] I'M NOT A COMMUNIST.
[00:40:23] I HAVE READ KARL MARX. I HAVE NOT ONE.
[00:40:27] MY PROBLEM WITH DONALD TRUMP HAS
[00:40:31] DONE SO FAR IS THAT HE'S THERE
[00:40:34] AND BACK AND THERE AGAIN.
[00:40:38] OUR PARTY, WE HAVE A PLATFORM.
[00:40:40] ANY CANDIDATE WHO WANTS TO RUN
[00:40:44] UNDER THAT LABEL AS A TEXAS
[00:40:46] SOLIDARITY CANDIDATE MUST ADHERE
[00:40:49] TO THAT PLATFORM AND IF THEY
[00:40:52] DECIDE IF THEY DO GET ELECTED,
[00:40:55] TO CHANGE IT THEY HAVE TO COME
[00:40:58] TO US MEMBERS OF THE PARTY TO GET IT DONE.
[00:41:01] HOST: DO YOU MIND IF I ASK YOU. YOU MENTIONED CHRISTIAN
[00:41:05] SOCIALISM BUT IT'S NOT
[00:41:08] COMMUNISM.
[00:41:10] TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
[00:41:14] SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM AND WHY
[00:41:15] YOU REJECT THE COMMUNISM LABEL?
[00:41:19] CALLER: BECAUSE THE HISTORY OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY IS SUCH THAT
[00:41:23] ONE PERSON AND THEN ANOTHER
[00:41:26] DECIDED TO BE ABOVE THE PARTY
[00:41:29] PLATFORM.
[00:41:31] OWNERSHIP OF ALL MEANS PRODUCTION.
[00:41:34] I AS A SOCIALIST JUST LIKE THE
[00:41:38] SOCIALIST IN EUROPE ALLOW SHELL,
[00:41:43] ETCETERA. WE DO HAVE THINGS MOSTLY IN THE
[00:41:47] SOCIAL AREA. HEALTHCARE, FOOD, EDUCATION,
[00:41:51] ETCETERA. WE ARE NOT COMMUNISTS.
[00:41:54] ONLY THING ONE HAS TO DO IS LOOK AT THE VARIOUS SOCIALIST PARTIES
[00:41:58] IN EUROPE WHO HAVE BEEN
[00:42:03] CAPITALISTS TOO AT THE SAME TIME. THEY RECOGNIZE THAT THE GOOD OF
[00:42:06] ALL HAS TO BE DEALT WITH.
[00:42:08] I HAVE A FRIEND WHO LIVES IN FRANCE.
[00:42:12] HE CAN ACTUALLY GET HIS DRUGS
[00:42:15] DIRECTLY FROM THE PHARMACY HE
[00:42:17] GOES TO AS OPPOSED TO REQUIRING
[00:42:22] A DOCTOR TO PERMIT IT.
[00:42:23] A PHARMACIST SCHEDULED LICENSED
[00:42:27] TO DISPENSE.
[00:42:31] HOST: YOUR FRIEND IN FRANCE, HOW
[00:42:33] MUCH DOES HE PAY IN TAXES?
[00:42:36] CALLER: HE DOESN'T HAVE FRENCH CITIZENSHIP.
[00:42:40] THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE,
[00:42:42] NOT EUROPEAN COUNTRY DO THAT HAS
[00:42:44] WHAT'S KNOWN AS PASSIVE INCOME.
[00:42:48] FRANCE HAS AN AGREEMENT WITH THE UNITED STATES.
[00:42:51] YOU MOVE THERE -- LET'S SAY SIX
[00:42:55] MONTHSLONGEST YOU CAN STAY THERE --
[00:42:59] HOST: HE'S NOT PAYING TAXES BUT FRENCH CITIZEN WHO DO HAVE
[00:43:02] UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, THEY HAVE
[00:43:04] ALL THESE OTHER SOCIAL PROGRAMS
[00:43:07] AND SAFETY NETS.
[00:43:09] HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING IN TAXES?
[00:43:13] CALLER: I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT. THE TAX RATE IS PROBABLY LITTLE
[00:43:17] HIGHER THAN THE UNITED STATES.
[00:43:26] I DID A TOUR AT THE MISSOURI COUNTY JAIL WITH SOME OTHER
[00:43:30] SENIORS. WE WERE ASKED TO DO SO SO WE CAN
[00:43:33] TELL OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS WHAT THE CONDITION OF THAT JAIL WAS
[00:43:37] IN TERMS OF PERSONNEL
[00:43:41] REQUIREMENTS AND THE MACHINERY FOR TESTING FOR ALCOHOL.
[00:43:44] WE HAVE TO SEND IT OUT.
[00:43:49] I WANT AS A SOCIALIST, I WANT
[00:43:51] THE GOVERNMENT TO PRIORITIZE
[00:43:55] THINGS. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WANTS
[00:43:59] TO DO STUFF WITH THE SWIMMING POOL AND THE BALLROOM AND THE
[00:44:03] WHITE HOUSE. AND THE WAR IN IRAN.
[00:44:07] WE CAN DO THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE
[00:44:09] LIFE EASIER IN THIS COUNTRY FOR
[00:44:13] ALL PEOPLE. I ASKED MY NEIGHBORS IN MY TOWN
[00:44:17] NOT TO GO TO THE HIGH END
[00:44:19] DEVELOPMENTS WHERE I LIVE BUT GO
[00:44:21] TO THE INNER CITY, THE HOUSES
[00:44:23] THAT WERE BUILT IN THE '60s
[00:44:27] AND '70s AND SEE WHO LIVES IN YOUR TOWN.
[00:44:30] HOST: WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST OF
[00:44:33] AMERICA IN THE NEXT SEGMENT. STAY WITH US FOR THAT.
[00:44:37] GREG IN OHIO, DEMOCRAT.
[00:44:39] YOU'RE ON THE AIR.
[00:44:41] CALLER: GOOD MORNING, AMERICA.
[00:44:44] OUR TOP NEWS STORY IS THE
[00:44:46] ECONOMY.
[00:44:48] I'M VERY OBSERVANT PRIOR TO
[00:44:51] TRUMP BECOMING PRESIDENT,
[00:44:54] REPUBLICANS SCANTILY CALLED THIS
[00:44:57] -- CONSTANTLY CALLED THIS SHOW AND COMPLAINED ABOUT PRICE. NOW THEY ARE GHOST.
[00:45:02] MY ELECTRICITY BILL LAST MONTH
[00:45:06] WAS $353.
[00:45:11] THE REPUBLICANS CONTROL THREE
[00:45:14] BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT.
[00:45:16] PEOPLE CONSTANTLY CALL THIS SHOW ABOUT ILLEGALS.
[00:45:20] THEY HAVE ILLEGAL OBSESSIVE
[00:45:23] SYNDROME IF INFILTRATED THE GRID
[00:45:27] AND MED MY ELECTRICITY GO UP
[00:45:29] JUST LIKE SPIDER MAN.
[00:45:35] IT'S BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION.
[00:45:41] NOW REPUBLICANS HAVE AMNESIA.
[00:45:44] WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT PRICES.
[00:45:47] NOW WE WILL JUST TALK ABOUT COMMUNIST AND SOCIALISM.
[00:45:51] IT'S BEYOND HUMAN BELIEF. YOU CONTROL THREE BRANCHES OF
[00:45:54] THE GOVERNMENT. MAX MILLER IS IN ANY DISTRICT.
[00:45:57] WE'RE GOING TO ENSURE THAT MAX MILLER IS GONE.
[00:46:00] THEY ARE ANTI-NATIONAL SIGNS
[00:46:08] ANYWHERE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. HE'S FINISHED.
[00:46:10] THERE'S GOING TO BE ONE MORE VOTE TOWARDS DEMOCRATS
[00:46:13] CONTROLLING THE HOUSE.
[00:46:15] WHO IS MORE FOOLISH?
[00:46:18] THE FOOL OR THE FOOLS WHO FOLLOW HIM.
[00:46:22] HOST: HERE'S WILLIE A REPUBLICAN IN KATIE, TEXAS. CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
[00:46:26] I WANT TO SAY ONE THING ABOUT
[00:46:30] YOU MIMI.
[00:46:32] FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS I GOT
[00:46:34] YOU AS THE MODERATOR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[00:46:37] I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU
[00:46:39] KNOW I WASN'T TRYING TO MANIPULATE OR ANYTHING.
[00:46:42] FOR SOME REASON I GOT YOU.
[00:46:44] I'M GLAD.
[00:46:46] HAVING SAID THAT.
[00:46:49] MY MAIN ISSUE FIRST OF ALL,
[00:46:53] PEOPLE KEEP TALKING ABOUT SOCIALISM AND CHAMPIONISM.
[00:46:57] I'M FRUSTRATED WITH THAT EVEN
[00:47:00] SMARTEST PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT
[00:47:03] COMMUNISM MEANS THE GOVERNMENT HAS EVERYTHING.
[00:47:05] YOU GO TO SHOE STORE AND IT'S
[00:47:12] GORBACHEV AND SONS. YOU GO TO THE BREAD LINE YOU SEE
[00:47:15] THESE LINES FOREVER.
[00:47:19] THAT'S COMMUNISM. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS YOU CAN HAVE
[00:47:21] A HOUSE, OH, BUT YOU CAN HAVE AN APARTMENT.
[00:47:25] YOU GOT TO PILE IN EIGHT PEOPLE
[00:47:27] INTO ONE BEDROOM. THAT'S COMMUNISM.
[00:47:31] EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND.
[00:47:34] SOCIALISM IT'S A STEP DOWN.
[00:47:37] THE GOVERNMENT GETS TO CONTROL
[00:47:38] THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND
[00:47:41] SUCH. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS.
[00:47:45] THAT'S NOT COMMUNISM.
[00:47:47] HERE'S THE THING.
[00:47:50] MY BIGGEST THING IS AGAIN IT'S
[00:47:53] THE HATRED OF THE PRESIDENT.
[00:47:56] YOU GOT TODD BLANCHE.
[00:48:08] TO GET HIS ENDORSEMENT FROM THE
[00:48:11] PRESIDENT TO BE THE DEPARTMENT
[00:48:14] OF JUSTICE, PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK
[00:48:17] THAT THE PRESIDENT'S FAMILY, I
[00:48:20] HATE TO HEAR THESE PEOPLE SAY
[00:48:22] THAT THE PRESIDENT HIS ISSUES
[00:48:27] AND HIS FAMILY ARE CORRUPT AND SUCH.
[00:48:31] HOW IN THE WORLD CAN THAT BE
[00:48:34] WHEN THE MAN DOESN'T TAKE A SALARY.
[00:48:37] HIS FAMILY SONS, HIS DAUGHTER,
[00:48:41] HIS FOLKS IN THE FAMILY THEY ARE
[00:48:43] ALLOWED TO RUN THEIR OWN
[00:48:46] BUSINESSES AS OPPOSED TO BIDEN
[00:48:51] FOLKS. FRANKLY, NO ONE SAID ANYTHING
[00:48:54] ABOUT WHAT THIS MAN DID AND
[00:48:57] ALLOWED HIS SON TO DO WHILE HE'S
[00:49:00] THE PRESIDENT.
[00:49:03] HOST: WILLIE, WHAT PEOPLE WOULD SAY TO THAT, ACCORDING TO THE
[00:49:06] "NEW YORK TIMES," THE PRESIDENT HAS MADE $2 BILLION SINCE
[00:49:09] RETURNING TO OFFICE.
[00:49:10] THAT'S NOWHERE NEAR WHAT HE
[00:49:14] WOULD MAKE SALARY $400,000 IS
[00:49:18] NOT ANYWHERE IN THAT SAME
[00:49:20] BALLPARK AS $2 BILLION.
[00:49:25] CALLER: I UNDERSTAND. HOST: YOU'RE SAYING THIS BECAUSE HE'S A SMART BUSINESSMAN?
[00:49:29] CALLER: NOT ONLY HE'S A SMART
[00:49:31] BUSINESSMAN.
[00:49:36] I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE TERM IS
[00:49:40] [ INDISCERNIBLE ] ALL OF HIS BUSINESSES OVER TO HIS CHILDREN.
[00:49:43] HE'S ABLE TO DO.
[00:49:44] IT'S ALL IN THE UP AND UP.
[00:49:49] HOST: I GOT THAT POINT.
[00:49:52] I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE SENATE RACE IN TEXAS SINCE YOU'RE A REPUBLICAN IN TEXAS.
[00:49:56] CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT HOW THAT'S
[00:50:00] GOING FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE?
[00:50:03] CALLER: FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. TALARICO HAS NO OPPORTUNITY.
[00:50:07] KEN PAXTON IS GOING TO WIPE THE FLOOR.
[00:50:10] I'M TOTALLY GLAD OF THAT.
[00:50:11] CAN I SAY ALSO, MICHIGAN AND I
[00:50:18] WANT TO SAY MASSACHUSETTS. FOR THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS.
[00:50:22] , THE DEMOCRATS HAVE PUT THEMSELVES INTO THE WATER ON
[00:50:25] THEIR OWN BECAUSE THESE FOLKS
[00:50:27] ARE NOT YOUR REGULAR DEMOCRATS.
[00:50:30] THESE ARE HARD CORE SOCIALISTS.
[00:50:32] THEY ARE GOING FOR THE JUGGLER.
[00:50:35] YES, GOING BACK TO TEXAS.
[00:50:38] I SEE NO MEANS FOR TALARICO TO
[00:50:43] EVEN COME CLOSE.
[00:50:44] THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT.
[00:50:48] HOST: KERRY, ILLINOIS. INDEPENDENT LINE.
[00:50:50] GOOD MORNING. CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
[00:50:54] FOR WHAT I'M HEARING A LOT OF
[00:50:56] THE CALLERS AS FAR AS ON THE
[00:50:59] REPUBLICAN SIDE ARE DISILLUSIONED.
[00:51:01] FOR ONE, WE WENT SO FAR RIGHT.
[00:51:06] WE WENT INTO FASCISM. IF WE'RE DOING SO GREAT AND THEY
[00:51:09] HAVE THREE BRANCHES OF
[00:51:11] GOVERNMENT, WHY WE GOT PRICES SO HIGH?
[00:51:15] WHY CANDY $4?
[00:51:17] SOME OF THEM $5.
[00:51:20] YOU GOT A GUY THAT FIRE PED A
[00:51:22] LOT OF PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT AND
[00:51:27] THEN YOU GOT THE SAVE ACT.
[00:51:32] WHERE THEY WANT WOMEN WHO CAN'T
[00:51:35] USE THEIR NAME FOR MARRIAGE BUT
[00:51:37] THEY WANT THEM TO USE THEIR
[00:51:40] MAIDEN NAME AND THEN THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO VOTE BECAUSE THEY
[00:51:43] WON'T HAVE THE PROPER I.D.
[00:51:46] SO WHITE WOMEN WILL NOT BE ABLE
[00:51:48] TO VOTE BECAUSE YOU KEEP VOTING
[00:51:50] FOR THESE REPUBLICANS AND THEY
[00:51:55] TRYING TAKE AWAY THE WHITE WOMAN'S VOTE. IF ALL WOMEN LOSE THEIR VOTE.
[00:51:59] THIS COUNTRY IS IN TROUBLE.
[00:52:05] WHERE INTO FASCISM. THE LADY CAME ON HERE SAYING
[00:52:09] WE'RE LOSING THIS COUNTRY.
[00:52:10] WE'RE LOSING THIS COUNTRY
[00:52:14] BECAUSE WE ALL AS A PEOPLE --
[00:52:18] [ INDISCERNIBLE ] IF YOU KEEP VOTING REPUBLICAN,
[00:52:21] WE'RE GOING INTO FASCISM. WHICH IS WHERE WE ARE NOW.
[00:52:25] IT NEEDS TO STOP.
[00:52:27] WE'RE SO FAR RIGHT. WE'RE SO FAR RIGHT.
[00:52:31] WE WENT RIGHT INTO FASCISM.
[00:52:33] I REALLY GO FAR LEFT AND SOCIALISM.
[00:52:37] SOCIALISM WON'T LOOK LIKE THIS. HOST: THIS IS WHAT JEFF IN
[00:52:40] MICHIGAN SAYS. I'M APPALLED AT
[00:52:44] THE DEPTH OF IGNORANCE DEMONSTRATED BY REPUBLICAN
[00:52:48] VOTERS. INFORM YOUR AUDIENCE IN WJ
[00:52:52] REPORTS WHAT'S IN THE NEWS.
[00:52:54] BUT ISN'T AN INVESTIGATIVE NEWS
[00:52:58] ORGANIZATION AS YOUR VIEWERS MISTAKEN BELIEVE.
[00:53:01] THIS IS HARRY IN PENNSYLVANIA. NETANYAHU IS RIGHT.
[00:53:05] COMPLETE SURRENDER OF HAMAS. TRUMP IS WRONG.
[00:53:09] IRAN IS NOT A DEAL TO BE
[00:53:12] ENSHRINED IN HIS TROPHY CASE.
[00:53:14] IRAN HAS WON THE WAR. TRUMP HAS LOST.
[00:53:18] WHEN DOES HEGSETH GET FIRED.
[00:53:22] McNAMARA WAS. THIS IS LONNIE FROM RED SPRINGS,
[00:53:25] NORTH CAROLINA. REPUBLICAN.
[00:53:28] HI T LONNIE.
[00:53:30] CALLER: HOW YOU DOING? I WAS JUST LISTENING TO WHAT
[00:53:33] THEY HAD TO SAY AND WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT US LOSING THE WAR.
[00:53:37] I DON'T THINK WE'RE LOSING THE WAR.
[00:53:39] I THINK WE NEED TO --
[00:53:43] [ INDISCERNIBLE ] I'M 86 YEARS OLD.
[00:53:47] I WENT NINE YEARS IN THE MILITARY.
[00:53:51] AS FAR AS THIS COMMUNIST TAKING
[00:53:54] OVER THE COUNTRY, GIVE BEEN
[00:53:58] NOTICED HOW THINGS CHANGING THIS
[00:54:00] THIS COUNTRY.
[00:54:18] MUSLIMS ARE WORKING THEIR WAY
[00:54:20] FROM THE INSIDE WORKING THEIR
[00:54:23] WAY OUTSIDE.
[00:54:27] LOOK WHAT HAPPENED IN THE
[00:54:28] MILITARY ALL THE MONEY THEY'VE
[00:54:33] EMBEZZLED. OUR GAS PRICES HERE IN NORTH
[00:54:37] CAROLINA, $3.15. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE OTHER PEOPLE LIVE.
[00:54:41] SOME OF THESE PEOPLE JUST HATE DONALD TRUMP.
[00:54:45] DONALD TRUMP IS A VERY BRILLIANT MAN.
[00:54:48] HOST: THIS IS AN ARTICLE IN THE "WASHINGTON POST" FOR YOUR AWARENESS WITH THIS HEADLINE.
[00:54:52] WATER SYSTEMS ARE RAIN FOR CYBERATTACKS.
[00:54:55] EXPERTS WARN AFTER SUSPECTED
[00:54:58] IRANIAN HACKS, IT SAYS THIS IN
[00:55:02] LATE 2022, MICROSOFT DETECTED
[00:55:04] THE HACK OF A WATER SYSTEM IN GUAM THAT U.S. INTELLIGENCE
[00:55:08] AGENCIES IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS
[00:55:10] DETERMINED WAS ORCHESTRATED BY
[00:55:13] CHINA. THE SPY AGENCY LONG WATCHED AS
[00:55:16] IRAN TARGETED ISRAELI WATER SYSTEMS. SAYS THIS IS A FORMER U.S.
[00:55:20] OFFICIAL WHO SAYS THAT ANOTHER
[00:55:23] NATION STATE WAS DOING IT TO US. THIS WAS UNSETTLING.
[00:55:27] SENIOR U.S. OFFICIALS WERE CONCERNED THAT SUCH INTRUSIONS
[00:55:30] COULD AFFECT MILITARY BASES ON GUAM BUT ALSO CIVILIAN WATER
[00:55:34] SUPPLIES. MANY OF WHICH WERE POORLY PROTECTED AGAINST HACKS.
[00:55:38] THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ALARMED
[00:55:41] BY THE SPRING 2021 RANSOMWARE
[00:55:46] ATTACK AND MOVED TO PIPELINES AND RAILROADS. NOW THEY WANTED TO MOVE ON TO
[00:55:50] WATER. IT SAYS THAT THE EPA ISSUED A
[00:55:54] MEMO TO REQUIRE STATES WORK WITH
[00:55:57] LOCAL OFFICIALS TO SPOT WEAKNESSES IN WATER SYSTEM THAT
[00:56:01] HACKERS CAN EXPLOIT.
[00:56:05] ATTORNEYS GENERAL IN REPUBLICAN-LED STATE SUED ARGUE
[00:56:08] THAT THE MEMO EXCEEDED THE EPA'S
[00:56:11] AUTHORITY FAILED TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT AND FINANCIAL BURDEN ON SMALL TOWNS.
[00:56:15] IT SAYS LAST MONTH, THE WATER UTILITY IN WESTERN PART OF
[00:56:19] ARKANSAS, THAT'S ONE OF THE
[00:56:20] STATES THAT SUED WAS HIT BY A
[00:56:24] CYBERATTACK. PART OF A STATE OF INTRUSION
[00:56:27] INTO MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEMS THAT U.S. SPY AGENCIES BELIEVE
[00:56:30] IT THE WORK OF IRANIAN REGIME HACKERS.
[00:56:33] THE CAMPAIGN COMES AS U.S. LAUNCHED THE WAR INTO ITS SIXTH
[00:56:37] MONTH. THIS IS DEBBIE IN NEW YORK. DEMOCRAT.
[00:56:40] WHAT'S YOUR TOP NEWS STORY OF
[00:56:42] THE DAY?
[00:56:45] CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
[00:56:50] SINCE JANUARY 2025 WHEN
[00:56:52] PRESIDENT BUSH CAME -- PRESIDENT
[00:56:58] TRUMP CAME TO POWER.
[00:57:02] THE NATIONAL DEBT HAS GONE UP
[00:57:09] $3.6 TRILLION.
[00:57:17] WAS ADDED TO THE NATIONAL DEBT SINCE DONALD TRUMP BECAME
[00:57:20] PRESIDENT IN 2021.
[00:57:23] IN 2025, I'M A LITTLE TIRED.
[00:57:27] I'M A NEW YORKER. WE KNOW DONALD TRUMP.
[00:57:30] HE'S NOT A BRILLIANT BUSINESSMAN.
[00:57:33] HE HAS SIX BANKRUPTCIES.
[00:57:36] HIS CASINO WENT BANKRUPT. AIRLINE WENT BANKRUPT.
[00:57:40] I FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT HE'S DOING TO OUR COUNTRY. HE'S GOING TO BANKRUPT OUR
[00:57:44] COUNTRY.
[00:57:45] HE'S USING MUNITIONS IN IRAN AND
[00:57:49] REAL LOW ON STOCKPILES NOW.
[00:57:52] ALSO, AS FAR AS THE TRUMP SONS,
[00:57:55] THEY ARE INVESTED IN MILITARY -- THEY ARE GETTING MILITARY
[00:57:59] CONTRACTS. BUSINESSES ARE GETTING MILITARY
[00:58:03] CONTRACTS. THAT NEVER HAPPENED WITH THE
[00:58:07] PRESIDENT THAT KIND OF NEGOTIATING.
[00:58:09] ALSO, I FEEL LIKE RUPERT MURDOCH
[00:58:12] IS RUINING OUR COUNTRY. HE'S FROM AUSTRALIA.
[00:58:15] THE SAME TALKING LINE.
