00:01:16>> ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO BE
00:01:19VERY FOCUSED IN MY REMARKS
00:01:22TODAY. I'M REFERENCING AN ARTICLE. I DID. IT APPEARED. AND
00:01:25THANK YOU. THE NEW YORK POST,
00:01:28UM, THE BROAD, UH, FOCUS HERE IS
00:01:33THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP, UM, HAS
00:01:37TASKED PEOPLE LIKE JOHN SOLOMON
00:01:42AND BILL PULTE TO DIG IN AND
00:01:45FIND ALL OF THE CLASSIFIED
00:01:48DOCUMENTS AND BURIED DOCUMENTS,
00:01:50UH, THAT BASICALLY BEAR ON TWO
00:01:56THINGS. ONE, THE WEAPONIZATION
00:01:58OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM THAT TRIED
00:02:02TO PUT PRESIDENT TRUMP IN PRISON FOR 700 YEARS. LET US NOT
00:02:06FORGET, THEY TRIED TO DO THAT.
00:02:07AND ALSO, UH, THE ISSUES OF
00:02:10ELECTION INTEGRITY. SO JUST, UH,
00:02:13IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS,
00:02:15WE'VE HAD, UH, DROPS ON THE, ON
00:02:18THE WHITE HOUSE SITE, UM, ON,
00:02:20UH, CHINA'S INFLUENCE ON THE
00:02:24ELECTION, UH, MARICOPA COUNTY,
00:02:27UH, WE'VE HAD, UH, WHAT I'M
00:02:28GOING TO TALK ABOUT TODAY, WHICH
00:02:33IS AN UNPRECEDENTED RELEASE OF
00:02:35DOCUMENTS THAT INDICATE A COUP THAT WAS ATTEMPTED WHILE
00:02:38PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS A SITTING PRESIDENT. SO LET ME WALK YOU
00:02:42THROUGH, UM, THE NEW YORK POST
00:02:44ARTICLE. AND THESE PREVIOUSLY
00:02:47UNRELEASED DOCUMENTS, AND I'LL
00:02:49TAKE YOU BACK 1st TO 2016, WHEN
00:02:53THE, THE CAMPAIGN OF HILLARY CLINTON HIRED CHRISTOPHER STEELE
00:02:56TO DO A PHONY DOSSIER THAT
00:03:02BECAME THE FODDER FOR CROSSFIRE HURRICANE, WHICH WAS AN
00:03:06INVESTIGATION OF WHETHER, UH,
00:03:08THE, THE PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS SOMEHOW A CAPTIVE OF, OF
00:03:12PUTIN'S RUSSIA. UH, IT'S JUST
00:03:14AN ABSURD KIND OF THING. WHAT'S
00:03:17INTERESTING ABOUT THAT INITIAL
00:03:21UH, INVESTIGATION WAS THAT IT DIDN'T TOUCH THE PRESIDENT
00:03:24DIRECTLY. IT FOCUSED ON, ON HIS
00:03:26ASSOCIATES LIKE CARTER PAGE, UH,
00:03:30ON GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS, UH, MIKE
00:03:33FLYNN, UH, AND SO ON. WHAT WE
00:03:37FIND THIS WEEK WITH THESE, THESE DOCUMENTS THAT WERE RELEASED
00:03:40HERE, I'M GOING TO WALK YOU
00:03:41THROUGH THIS STARTS ON MAY 16th,
00:03:462021. MAY 16th, 2021, WHERE FIVE
00:03:48MONTHS INTO THE PRESIDENCY OF
00:03:51DONALD JOHN TRUMP AND THE FBI,
00:03:57AMERICA'S FBI OPENS INVESTIGATION OF A SITTING
00:04:01PRESIDENT ON THE QUESTION OF
00:04:04WHETHER THAT PRESIDENT IS
00:04:05CONTROLLED BY PUTIN'S. RUSSIA.
00:04:09MAY 16th, 2021. NOW, WE'VE HEARD THAT ANECDOTALLY, WHAT WE
00:04:13DIDN'T HAVE IS THE UNDERLYING
00:04:17DOCUMENTS, THE ARGUMENTS, AND THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. AND WE'VE
00:04:19GOT THAT NOW. SO HOW DID THIS START? UM, IT STARTED WITH A GUY
00:04:23NAMED BILL PRIESTAP, WHO WAS THE
00:04:28ACTING DIRECTOR OR THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COUNTERINTELLIGENCE.
00:04:31UM, CONSULTING WITH JAMES BAKER,
00:04:33THE GENERAL COUNSEL, UH, AND
00:04:38BASED ON THAT, THEY ISSUE A
00:04:41COMMUNICATION ON MAY 16th THAT
00:04:44HAS, UM, ROD ROSENSTEIN
00:04:47BASICALLY OPENING. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET THIS DETAIL
00:04:50RIGHT. UM. F ACTING FBI DIRECTOR
00:04:56ANDREW MCCABE PERSONALLY
00:04:59NOTIFIED ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTING
00:05:02ATTORNEY GENERAL ROD ROSENSTEIN
00:05:04TO OPEN THE INVESTIGATION. OKAY.
00:05:07NOW, WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT
00:05:09THAT HAD A PREDICATE THAT HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED. AND WHAT WE
00:05:13KNOW ABOUT THAT PREDICATE, WHICH
00:05:17WE DID NOT KNOW BEFORE, BUT BASED ON THESE, THESE NOW
00:05:21DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS THAT THE PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH THAT 2016
00:05:24CROSSFIRE HURRICANE OPERATION
00:05:27STILL GOING, UH, TO PEOPLE, INCLUDING FBI AGENTS AT THE
00:05:31TIME, PETER STRZOK AND LISA
00:05:32PAGE, THE, THE SO-CALLED LOVERS,
00:05:36UM, THEY CONTRIBUTED SOMEHOW
00:05:40INFORMATION TO WHAT PRIESTAP DID
00:05:42TO LAY THE PREDICATE. AND ONE OF
00:05:45THE THINGS, UM, I'M CALLING FOR,
00:05:48UH, IS, IS, IS GETTING MORE
00:05:52INFORMATION ON THOSE PARTICULAR DOCUMENTS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT
00:05:55NAME WHO, WHO DID THAT PREDICATE. NOW, JAMES COMEY IS
00:05:57IN THE MIX TOO. BY THE TIME MAY
00:06:0116th ROLLED AROUND, HE HAD BEEN
00:06:04FIRED, BUT THEY USED COMEY AS A
00:06:07WITNESS AND USED HIS FIRING TO
00:06:10MAKE AN ARGUMENT THAT SOMEHOW
00:06:12HIS FIRING HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH OBSTRUCTING THE RUSSIA
00:06:15PROBE, WHICH WAS, WE NOW KNOW THAT WAS THAT WAS TOTALLY FALSE
00:06:19AS WELL. AND THEN IF YOU GO ONE
00:06:23STEP DEEPER, UH, AT THE AGENT
00:06:24LEVEL, YOU'VE GOT A GUY UM,
00:06:28STEPHEN SOMA. HE WAS IDENTIFIED,
00:06:32UH, ANONYMOUSLY AS CASE AGENT ONE. HE'S THE GUY THAT TOTALLY
00:06:36SCREWED UP THE FISA WARRANTS ON
00:06:39CARTER PAGE. THERE'S ANOTHER GUY, JOSEPH PIANKA, AND THEN
00:06:43THERE'S A GUY WHO'S VERY SPECIAL TO ME. AND THE WORST
00:06:45KIND OF WAY, WALTER GIARDINO, WALTER GIARDINO, THESE ARE ALL
00:06:49FBI AGENTS. GIORDINO WAS THE GUY
00:06:53WHO DID THAT CIRCUS ARREST OF ME
00:06:56AND MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE AT REAGAN AIRPORT, WHEN THEY COULD HAVE
00:06:58JUST ASKED ME TO REPORT. DOWN,
00:07:02DOWN TO FOR THE ARREST. THEY MADE A BIG CIRCUS. BUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT ABOUT GIARDINA IS THAT
00:07:06I CALL HIM THE FORREST GUMP OF
00:07:10THE WEAPONIZED JUSTICE SYSTEM, BECAUSE HE WAS INVOLVED NOT JUST
00:07:14IN CROSSFIRE HURRICANE, BUT IN
00:07:17OTHER OPERATIONS LIKE, LIKE CRIMSON RIVER, ARCTIC FROST.
00:07:21EVERYWHERE YOU SEE HIS, HIS, HIS, HIS, UH, HIS FOOTPRINTS.
00:07:25AND SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A
00:07:29VERY CLEAR CASE OF AN FBI OUT OF
00:07:33CONTROL. UH, WE NEED TO LOOK AT ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS. NOW, THEY
00:07:36HAVE TO BE UNREDACTED. THAT'S THE NEXT STEP THAT HAS TO TAKE
00:07:40PLACE. AND THESE PEOPLE NEED TO
00:07:41BE HELD TO ACCOUNT, BECAUSE THIS
00:07:44WAS NOTHING MORE THAN AN ATTEMPTED COUP D'ETAT. THEY
00:07:48COULDN'T STOP HIS ELECTION. THAT
00:07:49WAS PURE ELECTION INTERFERENCE. PRIOR TO THE 2016 ELECTION. BUT
00:07:53THEY DIDN'T QUIT. THEY DIDN'T STOP. THEY KEPT GOING AFTER HIM.
00:07:56AND AS WE KNOW FROM THE MUELLER
00:08:00REPORT, THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. THE RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX
00:08:04WAS INDEED A HOAX. SO I WANT
00:08:09EVERYBODY OUT THERE IN AMERICA TO UNDERSTAND THAT THAT FBI
00:08:10UNDER, UNDER, UNDER THE CONTROL
00:08:13OF DEEP STATE PEOPLE INSIDE
00:08:15THERE, UH, DID, DID TOTALLY
00:08:18OUTSIDE THE BOX, IRRESPONSIBLE THINGS THAT THAT, IN MY
00:08:21JUDGMENT, CONSTITUTE TREASON AND
00:08:25AN ATTEMPTED COUP. THEY NEED TO
00:08:26BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I'M CALLING
00:08:29FOR SENATOR CHUCK GRASSLEY COMMITTEE. HE'S HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB. HE NEEDS TO GET THESE
00:08:33PEOPLE UH, SUBPOENAED
00:08:37IMMEDIATELY, IMMEDIATELY. AND JIM JORDAN, WHO'S NOT DOING A GOOD JOB. I DON'T KNOW WHAT
00:08:41JIM'S DOING OVER AT THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, BUT HE'S
00:08:44CERTAINLY NOT DIGGING DEEP ON THE WEAPONIZATION, UH, OR THE
00:08:48ELECTION FRAUD. HE NEEDS TO GET OFF THE WRESTLING MAT AND GET ON
00:08:51THE THING. SO WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE A FEW QUESTIONS. PLEASE DO
00:08:55ME A FAVOR. HANG ON THIS. OKAY.
00:08:59BE PATIENT. BUT WE'RE NOT
00:09:02GOING. WE'RE NOT GOING OFF ON
00:09:03WILD STUFF. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO
00:09:07TALK ABOUT THIS, UH, AS YOU STAY. STAY. WITH THE RELEASE OF THE DOCUMENTS. SO WE'LL GO TO YOU, SIR.
00:09:11>> HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO THE PRESIDENT ABOUT THESE FINDINGS? AND HAS HE ASKED YOU TO SPREAD
00:09:15THE WORD? >> UH, EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE.
00:09:18OKAY. JUST AS A RULE, WHENEVER I TALK TO THE PRESIDENT OR NOT,
00:09:21TALK TO THE PRESIDENT. UH,
00:09:23THAT'S NOT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION. UH, I CAN TELL YOU THAT IF YOU JUST SIMPLY LOOK AT
00:09:28THE PRESIDENT'S STATEMENTS, UH,
00:09:29HE WANTS, AS STEVE BANNON SAYS,
00:09:33ACTION, ACTION, ACTION. UM, WE'RE, I DON'T KNOW, 16 MONTHS
00:09:36INTO THIS ADMINISTRATION, AND
00:09:39WE, WE REALLY HAVEN'T SEEN, UH,
00:09:42ANYBODY SHORT OF, UH, UH, JOHN,
00:09:47JOHN, DR. STRANGELOVE, BOLTON, UH, HELD TO ACCOUNT. BUT THESE
00:09:50PEOPLE THAT I'M NAMING, UH,
00:09:52THEY NEED TO BE HELD TO ACCOUNT. OKAY. WHO'S NEXT?
00:09:55>> YOU WANT TO SEE MORE FROM JIM JORDAN? YOU SAID ABSOLUTELY. >> YES. JIM. JIM. LOOK, JIM
00:09:59DIDN'T LIFT A HAND IN MY CASE
00:10:00OR STEVE'S CASE. HE HASN'T DONE
00:10:04ANYTHING ON THE WEAPONIZATION OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. I DON'T
00:10:07KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING AT THAT COMMITTEE. HE'S HE'S DONE SOME
00:10:10THINGS THAT, THAT, THAT ARGUABLY, UH, NEEDED TO BE DONE.
00:10:14BUT, BUT I THERE'S NOTHING MORE
00:10:18IMPORTANT THAN ELECTION INTEGRITY. HE'S NOT DOING
00:10:21ANYTHING ON THAT. THERE'S
00:10:24NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN
00:10:26GETTING A JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY THAT SERVES THE PEOPLE
00:10:30AND IS NOT USED AS A WEAPONIZED
00:10:33SYSTEM TO PUT PEOPLE IN PRISON,
00:10:35BECAUSE YOU CAN'T. YES, MA'AM.
00:10:39>> ABOUT SPECIFIC EXPECTATION
00:10:40UPON YOU AND THE PRESIDENT TO
00:10:45THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL. >> I WAS AT I WAS HONORED TO BE
00:10:47AT THE CLOSED SWEARING IN
00:10:50YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY, I CONSIDER TODD BLANCHE TO BE ONE OF THE
00:10:53FINEST INDIVIDUALS, PERSONALLY
00:10:56AND PROFESSIONALLY I EVER MET.
00:10:59AND I CAN SAY THAT HE'S IN VERY GOOD HANDS. UH, AND WE'RE GOING
00:11:03TO SEE GREAT THINGS FROM TODD BLANCHE. NEXT QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. >> CAN I ASK A QUESTION ON THE ECONOMY, SIR?
00:11:07>> UH, YEAH, BUT LET'S DO THIS FIRST, AND THEN I'LL COME BACK
00:11:10TO YOU. YES, MA'AM. >> WHO SPECIFICALLY DO YOU THINK CONGRESS SHOULD CALL IN FOR?
00:11:13SWORN TESTIMONY? AND WHAT SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT STILL NEED ANSWERS DO YOU THINK THEY
00:11:17SHOULD PRIORITIZE? >> WELL, I'D START WITH, UH,
00:11:20WITH PRIESTAP, BECAUSE HE'S THE
00:11:22GUY WHO OPENED, UH, SET OUT THE OPENING COMMUNICATIONS. SO YOU
00:11:26CAN GO FROM PRIESTAP AND BACK
00:11:30TO, UH, THE PREDICATE THAT CAME
00:11:32FROM. WE DON'T KNOW WHO WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THAT, BUT, BUT PAGE
00:11:35AND STRUCK WERE PART OF THE
00:11:38OPERATION WHERE THAT CAME FROM. AND THEN YOU JUST RUN DOWN THE
00:11:41LINE. I MEAN, I THINK SUBPOENAS SHOULD GO OUT TO EVERYBODY. I
00:11:44NAMED EVERY SINGLE PERSON, UH,
00:11:49THAT I NAMED ON THAT LIST. UM. YES, SIR.
00:11:52>> IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE NEWLY RELEASED DOCUMENTS THAT SHOWS ANY SORT OF POLITICAL
00:11:55MOTIVATION HERE? IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT THESE FOLKS KNEW
00:11:59THESE ALLEGATIONS WERE, I GUESS, A HOAX, IN YOUR WORDS, BUT WENT AHEAD WITH THE INVESTIGATION
00:12:03ANYWHERE? IS THERE ANY CONCRETE EVIDENCE OF THAT? >> YES, ABSOLUTELY. WE KNOW PAGE
00:12:08UH, HAD A PACT TO MAKE SURE THAT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WOULD NEVER GET ELECTED.
00:12:12AND THEY WERE FRUIT OF THE POISON TREE, RIGHT. REMEMBER
00:12:15WHAT I'M TELLING YOU, SIR? THE PREDICATE, YOU KNOW, IN THE LAW,
00:12:18WHEN YOU LAY THE PREDICATE, THAT
00:12:20EVERYTHING ELSE FOLLOWS FROM
00:12:23THAT THE PREDICATE CAME FROM THE CROSSFIRE OPERATION, CROSSFIRE
00:12:27HURRICANE OPERATION, WHICH PAGE AND STRUCK WERE REALLY IMPORTANT
00:12:30PARTS OF. AND I THINK, I THINK
00:12:32IT'S PRETTY COMMON KNOWLEDGE
00:12:35THAT EVERYBODY I MENTIONED
00:12:37THERE, UM, IS IS HARDLY A RABID
00:12:42REPUBLICAN, UH, TRUMP SUPPORTER. THOSE PEOPLE HAVE CLEAR BIASES,
00:12:45UM, THAT ARE REFLECTED IN A, IN
00:12:49A FBI THAT THROUGH THE BIDEN
00:12:50YEARS, REALLY EXPOSED ITSELF. I
00:12:53MEAN, SIR, THEY, THEY HID THIS
00:12:55STUFF, OKAY? THEY, THEY SAT ON THIS
00:12:58>> STUFF, AND WHY? AND NOW WE GOT IT OUT. OKAY. WHAT ELSE?
00:13:02YES, SIR. >> I HAVE ONE QUESTION ON THE ECONOMY THAT I CAN ASK IN A MOMENT.
00:13:05>> YEAH, YEAH. JUST STAY. >> ON THIS. YOU MENTIONED THE WEAPONIZATION. I KNOW YOU SAID
00:13:09YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR HER NAME, BUT DO YOU BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT SHOULD FIRE U.S.
00:13:12ATTORNEY JEANINE PIRRO? >> THAT'S ALWAYS IT'S ALWAYS UP
00:13:16TO THE PRESIDENT. THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT MY LANE. >> AS I SAID ABOUT HER STAYING
00:13:20IN AS U.S.. >> ATTORNEY, I DO I DO NOT KNOW. YES, MA'AM.
00:13:22>> IT'S A FOREIGN POLICY. >> OKAY. WELL, ANY, ANY ON WEAPONIZATION.
00:13:26>> I GUESS. WHAT, WHAT WHAT UNANSWERED QUESTIONS DO YOU
00:13:29STILL HAVE? YOU MENTIONED A >> WELL, OKAY. LET'S SEE.
00:13:33LET'S, LET'S, FIRST OF ALL,
00:13:34UM, I WANT TO KNOW, UH, WHO LAID
00:13:38THAT PREDICATE. OKAY. BECAUSE
00:13:39THEY DON'T IDENTIFY THE PERSON.
00:13:42UM, WHEN PRIESTAP DOES HIS
00:13:47OPENING COMMUNICATION, WHICH YOU CAN READ, JUST GO, GO TO THE
00:13:50WHITE HOUSE INTEGRITY.GOV. WHITEHOUSE INTEGRITY.GOV. YOU
00:13:53CAN FIND ALL THIS STUFF. YOU GO
00:13:54THERE. AND HE CITES, UM, AN
00:14:00UNNAMED PERSON OR PERSONS. AND WE NEED TO KNOW WHO THAT IS.
00:14:04AND, AND IT MAY WELL BE PAGE
00:14:07INSTRUCT. AND IF IT'S PAGE INSTRUCT, THAT'S EVEN WORSE
00:14:11BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THEY HAD A BIASED AGENDA. THE INSPECTOR
00:14:15GENERAL SAID THAT RIGHT. IN THE INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT. OKAY. SO LET'S SHIFT GEARS NOW.
00:14:19WE'LL WE'LL DO A LITTLE
00:14:20ECONOMY. >> ABOUT WHAT KIND OF BRIEFINGS
00:14:24AND INFORMATION THE PRESIDENT IS GETTING ON THE ECONOMY. THAT'S
00:14:28BASICALLY LEADING TO HIM CONSTANTLY TALKING ABOUT IT
00:14:30BEING A GOLDEN AGE, AN A PLUS ECONOMY, EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF
00:14:34AMERICANS SEEM TO BE FEELING THE PINCH OR FRUSTRATED AND EXPRESSING. >> WELL, LET ME PUSH BACK A
00:14:38LITTLE BIT. I MEAN, THE
00:14:41PRESIDENT ON DOWN, WHETHER IT'S
00:14:43SCOTTY OR KEVIN, MYSELF, HOWARD
00:14:48LUTNICK, JAMIESON GREER, WE ALL
00:14:51UNDERSTAND, UH, THAT WE'RE
00:14:54GRAPPLING WITH, WITH INFLATION
00:14:57AND PROBLEMS THAT ARE CREATING
00:14:59HARDSHIP FOR AMERICANS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT, OKAY? BUT WE
00:15:03ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE MEDIA IS DOING A VERY, VERY POOR JOB
00:15:07IN REPORTING UH, THE REALLY
00:15:12STRONG EFFORTS WE HAVE BEEN MAKING AND SHOWING FRUITS ON,
00:15:15UM, IMPLEMENTING, UH, BASICALLY
00:15:20THE TRUMPONOMICS POLICIES THAT WE DID VERY WELL IN THE FIRST
00:15:21TERM. AND WE'RE DOING EVEN
00:15:24BETTER THIS TIME. SO, UM, I WOULD URGE YOU ALL, IF YOU'RE ON
00:15:27THE ECONOMICS BEAT TO FOLLOW MY
00:15:30COLUMNS IN REAL CLEAR MARKETS, EVERY TIME A MAJOR REPORT COMES
00:15:33OUT, I HAVE A COLUMN UP THERE. I
00:15:36ALSO HAVE VIDEOS ON THIS, BUT IF
00:15:38YOU SIMPLY WALK THROUGH THE POLICIES FIRST, IF YOU, IF YOU
00:15:42LOOK AT, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, TAX
00:15:44POLICY, UH, THE RELEVANT ONE
00:15:47HERE IS, IS THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL
00:15:49BILL, 100% EXPENSING OF BUILDING FACTORIES HERE. AND THEN YOU
00:15:53LOOK AT THE SECOND, UH, ISSUE,
00:15:56WHICH IS THE FAIR TRADE, THE SIGNATURE, THERE ARE THE
00:16:00TARIFFS, WHICH ARE BRINGING
00:16:02ONSHORE, UH, BOTH INVESTMENT
00:16:08FROM FOREIGNERS. SO THEY BUILD IT HERE TO AVOID THE TARIFFS,
00:16:10BUT ALSO INDIGENOUS INVESTMENT
00:16:12HERE IN MONKS, DOMESTIC. AND
00:16:15THEN YOU'VE GOT THE DEREGULATION PART. LEE ZELDIN IS
00:16:18DOING A GREAT JOB. UH, RUSSELL
00:16:20VOUGHT OVER AT OMB. UM IS DOING
00:16:24A GREAT JOB. AND YOU COVER ALL
00:16:27FOUR FOR THE, THE ISSUES. AND SO
00:16:32WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE DATA
00:16:34IS UH, BASICALLY ON THE JOBS,
00:16:39BLUE COLLAR FRONT, UH, WE'RE
00:16:42SEEING FIRST, UH, THE MONEY'S
00:16:45COMING IN, WE'RE GETTING, UH,
00:16:49JUST AN ENORMOUS BURST OF CONSTRUCTION JOBS. AND WHEN YOU
00:16:53GET CONSTRUCTION JOBS, BUILDING FACTORIES, UH, YOU GET
00:16:56MANUFACTURING JOBS. AND WE'RE
00:16:57STARTING TO SEE THAT. SO ABOUT
00:17:00SIX MONTHS AGO, THE ISM
00:17:02MANUFACTURING INDEX, A 0 TO 100
00:17:05DIFFUSION INDEX, AS I SAY, ANYTHING OVER 50 INDICATES
00:17:08MANUFACTURERS EXPANDING. UM, IT
00:17:12WAS BELOW 50 GOING BACK TO APRIL
00:17:1422nd, UH, IN THE BIDEN YEARS.
00:17:21AND IT STARTED GOING ABOVE 50.
00:17:24UM, SIX MONTHS AGO WITH A TREND
00:17:26UP. AND JUST THIS LAST ONE, FINALLY, THE EMPLOYMENT
00:17:29COMPONENT OF IT WENT UP. SO
00:17:32THAT'S LIKE, THAT'S LIKE INCREDIBLY GOOD NEWS. UM, IF YOU
00:17:36LOOK AT THE INFLATION DATA, UM,
00:17:41ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST SPOTS IS,
00:17:44UH, THE DRAMATIC FALL IN HOUSING
00:17:47AND RENT. AND THAT'S A FIFTH
00:17:50HORSEMAN OF PROSPERITY. ARE
00:17:53CLOSED, SECURE BORDER POLICY.
00:18:00UM, BASICALLY HAS, AND DEPORTATIONS. PEOPLE ARE LEAVING
00:18:02THIS COUNTRY. WHEN YOU HAD 20
00:18:04MILLION PEOPLE COMING IN OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD ACROSS OUR
00:18:08BORDERS, THAT'S 24 MILLION, 20
00:18:11MILLION PEOPLE. YOU GOT TO HAVE HOUSING AND SHELTER FOR. AND NOT
00:18:14SURPRISINGLY, IT DROVE UP RENTS
00:18:17AND HOUSING PRICES, PARTICULARLY
00:18:19IN THE BLUE SANCTUARY CITIES
00:18:22AREA. WE'RE SEEING THAT COME
00:18:24DOWN DRAMATICALLY. IT'S COMING
00:18:26DOWN THE SLOWEST WHERE WE THINK SANCTUARY CITIES. BUT THAT'S
00:18:30GOING TO BE A REAL BOON, AND
00:18:33THAT'S GOING TO KEEP TRENDING DOWN. AND THEN WITH RESPECT TO
00:18:37OTHER COMPONENTS, UM, IN THE, IN
00:18:40THE CPI AND PPI, UH, WE TAKE A
00:18:42VERY MICRO APPROACH TO IT. I'LL
00:18:45GIVE YOU A FLAVOR, JUST TWO, TWO
00:18:47THINGS LIKE BEEF AND SCALLOPS, RIGHT? THIS IS HOW WE THINK WE
00:18:51GO LIKE ONE THING AT A TIME,
00:18:54RIGHT? SO, UM, ON THE SCALLOPS
00:18:56FRONT, UM, I, I HELPED PEN AN
00:18:59EXECUTIVE ORDER, UH, WHICH WILL
00:19:02RESOLVE, UH, THIS, UH, ACIDITY.
00:19:07UM, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW YOUR GEOGRAPHY, BUT THE GEORGES
00:19:09BANK IS OFF THE NEW NEW ENGLAND
00:19:11COAST. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST FERTILE FISHING AREAS IN THE
00:19:15WORLD. AND, UM, IT'S SPLIT WITH
00:19:18A BORDER BETWEEN CANADA AND THE
00:19:21UNITED STATES. AND UNDER THE
00:19:24BIDEN RULES, THE CANADIANS COULD
00:19:27GO AND HARVEST SCALLOPS ON THEIR
00:19:30SIDE OF THE GEORGES BANK ON THE
00:19:32NORTHERN EDGE. UM, AND THEY,
00:19:34THEY GET, I, IF THE NUMBERS.
00:19:36RIGHT. I THINK IT'S ABOUT 7
00:19:38MILLION POUNDS OR TONNES. YOU CAN FACT CHECK. IT'S ONE OF
00:19:42THOSE, IT'S A LOT, IT'S A LOT.
00:19:47BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT IT, THEY WERE, THEY WERE TAKEN FROM
00:19:50THE GEORGES BANKS. JUST ABOUT THE AMOUNT WE IMPORT FROM
00:19:53CANADA, DRIVING UP OUR TRADE
00:19:55DEFICIT. AND, YOU KNOW, AND WE
00:19:57COULDN'T TAKE SCALLOPS ON OUR
00:20:01SIDE OF THE GEORGES BANKS. THAT'S CRAZY STUFF. SO WHAT
00:20:04WHAT THE EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES IS
00:20:10SET IN MOTION A PROCESS WHERE WE'RE WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, UH,
00:20:13WHICH IS IN NOAA, WHICH IS IN CHARGE OF ALL THAT. AND THE NEW
00:20:17ENGLAND FISHERIES COUNCIL AND
00:20:18ALL THAT. AND WE'RE GOING TO GO
00:20:23FORWARD IN A VERY ENVIRONMENTALLY, UH, SECURE WAY. AND AMERICANS ARE GOING TO GET
00:20:27MILLIONS MORE SCALLOPS, AND PRICES WILL GO DOWN. THAT'S HOW WE DO IT. NOW, LET ME GIVE YOU
00:20:31THE CATTLE THING, BECAUSE THAT'S THE HARD ONE. UM, WE'VE
00:20:34DONE REALLY WELL GETTING CHICKEN PRICES DOWN, EGG PRICES DOWN,
00:20:38AND ALL OF THAT. THE PROBLEM
00:20:41WITH, WITH CATTLE IS THAT WE'RE
00:20:43IN A GLOBAL SHORTAGE, UH, OF
00:20:47CATTLE AND THEREFORE BEEF. SO WE'RE FIGHTING AGAINST, UH, NOT
00:20:51JUST A, A NATIONAL TREND, BUT A, BUT A MACRO GLOBAL TREND. BUT
00:20:54ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE BIDEN
00:20:58REGIME DID, UH, THEY ACTUALLY
00:21:00HAD A WAR ON, ON CATTLE AND RED
00:21:03MEAT. OKAY. AND IT SHOWS UP IN ACTUAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS.
00:21:07AND, UH, FORGIVE ME, BUT IT WAS
00:21:11ABOUT, UH, CATTLE TO BE EXACT.
00:21:14AND THE METHANE THAT CATTLE
00:21:17PRODUCE WHEN THEY PASS GAS. AND SO THE THINKING IN BIDEN LAND
00:21:21WAS, LET'S NOT EAT RED MEAT ANYMORE. SO LET'S KILL OFF THE CATTLE. SO LET'S TAKE AWAY THEIR
00:21:25GRAZING. AND THEY DID THAT. BUT
00:21:28THE 25 MILLION ACRES OF GRAZING
00:21:30LAND REALLY DROVE UP THE COST OF
00:21:34A LOT OF AMERICAN RANCHERS. SO THEY DID STUFF LIKE THAT. SO,
00:21:38UM, I PERSONALLY HAVE WORKED
00:21:41REALLY HARD, UM, WITH DOUG
00:21:43BURGUM, UM, AT INTERIOR AND
00:21:46BROOKE ROLLINS, UH, AT AGRICULTURE, BOTH VERY FINE
00:21:50PUBLIC SERVANTS. WE'RE OPENING THAT BACK UP, BUT WE'VE GOT A
00:21:53SCREWWORM PROBLEM ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER WITH MEXICO.
00:21:56WE'RE WORKING HARD TO GET A,
00:22:00ESSENTIALLY A FRUIT FLY
00:22:00SOLUTION. UH, TO THAT. AND THE
00:22:04BIGGEST THING, AND THIS IS, THIS
00:22:05IS REALLY IMPORTANT. UH, WE HAVE
00:22:10A CARTEL IN BEEF PROCESSING.
00:22:12IT'S A FOUR FIRM CARTEL THAT
00:22:16CONTROLS 85% OF ALL BEEF PROCESSING. NOW, WHAT, WHAT DOES
00:22:19THAT MEAN? IT MEANS THEY'RE IN
00:22:21THE MIDDLE OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN.
00:22:25SO THEY CAN SCREW THE RANCHERS BY PAYING THEM TOO LITTLE FOR
00:22:27THE CATTLE. AND THAT SUPPRESSES,
00:22:29UH, THE CATTLE HERD. THEY CAN
00:22:32SCREW THE CONSUMERS BY CHARGING
00:22:34TOO MUCH TO THE SUPERMARKETS. AND IT GETS WORSE, BECAUSE TWO
00:22:37OUT OF THE FOUR FIRMS ARE
00:22:40BRAZILIAN OWNED UP TO THEIR NECK
00:22:41WITH THE CHINESE. AND WHAT THE
00:22:46BRAZILIAN PART OF THE CARTEL IS,
00:22:48AS ANY CARTEL WILL DO, IS THEY
00:22:50MAXIMIZE THEIR PRICES GLOBALLY.
00:22:53AND AMERICANS ARE PICKING UP THE TAB FOR THAT. SO WE'RE WORKING
00:22:56HARD AT THE DEPARTMENT OF
00:22:58JUSTICE ON ANTITRUST. WE'RE
00:23:00WORKING HARD, UH, WITH BROOKE
00:23:04ROLLINS AT THE AT THE DEPARTMENT
00:23:05OF AGRICULTURE, TRYING TO, UH,
00:23:09ESSENTIALLY BRING A WHOLE NEW
00:23:11BREED OF SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED
00:23:14PROCESSORS INTO THE MARKET TO REDUCE THE CONCENTRATION. SO THE
00:23:17POINT, MY POINT TO THE AMERICAN
00:23:18PEOPLE IS WE, WE, WE HAVE YOUR
00:23:21BACK. UH, WE WANT THE KITCHEN
00:23:23TABLE TO BE A FUN PLACE TO BE,
00:23:25UH, THAT YOU CAN HAVE AFFORDABLE
00:23:29MEALS. AND WE REALLY TAKE THIS AT A GRANULAR LEVEL, ONE BY ONE
00:23:33BY ONE BY ONE. AND WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS. ALL RIGHT. NEXT
00:23:36QUESTION. DO YOU HAVE A., >> UM, ON THE LINDSEY GRAHAM
00:23:39BILL THAT POTUS HAS SUPPORTED?
00:23:42UM, THERE IS A 100% TARIFF POTENTIAL TARIFF ON INDIA,
00:23:46CONSIDERING THERE ARE NEGOTIATIONS THAT ARE GOING ON AT THIS POINT WITH INDIA, DOES
00:23:50THAT DOES THIS FURTHER ALIENATE THE WHOLE INDIA US RELATIONSHIP
00:23:53AND THE TRADE DEAL
00:23:58>> UM DURING THE, UM AS THE
00:24:09UKRAINE-RUSSIA WAR HAS, UH, HAS GONE ON, I GUESS SIX, EIGHT
00:24:12MONTHS AGO, I THINK I WROTE,
00:24:13WROTE AN OP ED, UH, IN THE
00:24:17FINANCIAL TIMES, WHICH
00:24:19ABSOLUTELY, FACTUALLY, CORRECTLY
00:24:22POINTED OUT THAT PRIOR TO THE
00:24:25RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE, UH,
00:24:27INDIA WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE
00:24:31OIL TRADE, UH, WITH RUSSIA. BUT
00:24:33AFTERWARDS, IT GOT HEAVILY INVOLVED AND WAS SELLING A LOT
00:24:37OF, UH, REFINED PRODUCTS ON
00:24:40BEHALF OF RUSSIA, WHICH HELPED FEED THE WAR MACHINE. AND, UM,
00:24:44THAT ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED.
00:24:46UM, MAYBE I, I HAD A LITTLE BIT TO DO WITH THAT, WITH THAT OP
00:24:49ED, BUT I CAN TELL YOU, I GOT
00:24:52ACTUALLY FIREBOMBED BY THE
00:24:54INDIAN CONTINENT. UM, ON, UH, ON THE INTERNET, UH, WITH ALL SORTS
00:24:58OF, OF, OF NASTY LITTLE ATTACKS.
00:25:01UH, AND ALL I WOULD SAY TO YOU, DON'T DO THAT. THAT'S NOT,
00:25:05THAT'S NOT HOW WE RESOLVE PROBLEMS HERE IN AMERICA. WITH
00:25:08RESPECT TO YOUR QUESTION, UH,

00:25:15MINISTER HAVE A VERY GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP. UH, THEY
00:25:18ARE GOING TO WORK THAT OUT AMONGST THEMSELVES. AND IT'S NOT
00:25:22FOR ME IN A GAGGLE TO GET BETWEEN THAT. ALL RIGHT. UH.
00:25:26YES, SIR. >> THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID MANY
00:25:29TIMES THAT HE WANTED TO CUT ALL TRADE WITH SPAIN. AFTER SEVERAL
00:25:32COMPLAINTS
00:25:35>> AGAIN, I'M NOT. YEAH. I WHEN
00:25:37I COME OUT TO YOU, I COME WITH VERY SPECIFIC THINGS AND NEWS
00:25:41THAT I CAN TALK ABOUT. SO, UM, LET'S JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT. I
00:25:44THINK I'VE GIVEN YOU A LOT OF THINGS TO THINK ABOUT. UH, WHAT'S.
00:25:47>> THAT >> UH, LET'S GO HERE AGAIN ON.
00:25:51THIS IS THE LAST. >> ONE ON THE SANCTIONS. IF THE
00:25:52HOUSE
