00:03:05WELCOME TO WASHINGTON JOURNAL. LET'S GET IT UPDATE REALLY QUICK
00:03:08ON IRAN.
00:03:12THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF TODAY'S PAPER.
00:03:16IRAN SAYS IT IS NOT HOLDING
00:03:16DIRECT TALKS.
00:03:20IRAN REITERATED SUNDAY IT IS NOT
00:03:22HOLDING DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE U.S. AND IT WOULD NOT
00:03:25RESTART DIPLOMATIC TALKS UNTIL WASHINGTON AGREES TO CERTAIN
00:03:30CONDITIONS AND STOP VIOLATING
00:03:34THE ISLAMABAD MEMORANDUM. IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS THE
00:03:38SEPARATE DISCUSSIONS OVER CONTROL OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ
00:03:42ARE IN FINAL STAGES.
00:03:45BUT WARNS THAT ANY AGREEMENTS REACHED WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY
00:03:49REOPEN THE WATERWAYS WHICH HAS REMAINED CLOSE TO COMMERCIAL
00:03:53SHIPPING FOUR WEEKS.
00:03:56IRAN AND OMAN HAVE HELD DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS OVER MANAGEMENT OF
00:04:00THE STRAIGHT AFTER THE SIGNING OF THE DEFUNCT MOU.
00:04:07THE INCOMING DEAL WOULD OUTLINE SPECIFIC GROWTH THAT COMMERCIAL
00:04:11SHIPS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO TAKE.
00:04:17YESTERDAY ON ABC THIS WEEK THE
00:04:22FORMER TRUMP DEFENSE SECRETARY TALKED ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
00:04:26APPROACH TO IRAN.
00:04:37>> WE'VE HEARD THE PRESIDENT CLAIMED TO HAVE BIG TALKS ON
00:04:39IRAN AND THEN BACK OFF SAYING
00:04:43THERE IS NEGOTIATIONS, WHAT DOES THAT DO TO AMERICA'S CREDIBILITY AROUND THE WORLD?
00:04:48HOW DO ADVERSARIES STARTED TO
00:04:48VIEW THOSE THREATS?
00:04:52>> CLEARLY THE IRANIANS HAVE
00:04:57FIGURED THIS OUT. THEY ARE NOT REACTING TO THIS THREAT.
00:05:01THEY ARE TAKING VERY STRATEGIC POSITIONS. YOU SAW THEM PUT FORWARD THIS
00:05:05PLAN THAT THEY WILL UNVEIL AT
00:05:09SOME POINT. THEY ARE CONFIDENT ABOUT THEIR
00:05:13POSITION IN THE WORLD. THEY ARE FLEXING THEIR MUSCLES
00:05:16BY USING THIS.
00:05:19THE WHO THESE -- HOUTHIS
00:05:28-- IN TEHRAN THEY TOOK SOME
00:05:35SHOTS ON THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA TO SHOW THE RANGE OF THE WEAPONS.
00:05:42THE U.S. ALLY ABOUT SUPPORTING U.S. OPERATIONS.
00:05:45THEY ARE EXPANDING THE CONFLICT IN MANY WAYS.
00:05:47HOST: ALSO HAPPENING IN THE
00:05:52MIDDLE EAST, NETANYAHU REJECTS
00:05:55NEXT PHASE OF TRUMP'S GAZA PLAN.
00:05:59HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS, IS REALLY
00:06:03PREGNANT -- PRIME MINISTER
00:06:05NETANYAHU REJECTED TRUMP'S PLANS
00:06:08, A RARE PUBLIC REALLY -- BREAK WITH THE U.S. LEADER.
00:06:18THE GRADUAL WITHDRAWAL FROM THE
00:06:20ENCLAVE WHICH THE ISRAELI LEADERS SAID SUNDAY COULDN'T
00:06:23HAPPEN UNTIL HAMAS WAS FULLY DISARMED.
00:06:28THE COLLAPSE OF THE PEACE
00:06:29PROCESS IN GAZA WOULD ROB TRUMP
00:06:33OF WHAT HIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DESCRIBED AS A MAJOR FOREIGN
00:06:36POLICY ACHIEVEMENT AS THE
00:06:41PRESIDENT IS EMBROILED IN THE IRAN WAR. HE HAS COME UNDER PRESSURE TO
00:06:44AGREE TO THE DEAL TO DISARM
00:06:50HAMAS.
00:06:54NETANYAHU IS HAVING ELECTIONS,
00:06:57THIS IS HIS QUOTE.
00:07:01ISRAEL REJECTS THE 15 POINT DOCUMENT.
00:07:05WHEN I SAY THE DISARMAMENT OF
00:07:07HAMAS I MEAN HEAVY WEAPONS,
00:07:11LIGHT WEAPONS, ALL OF THE WEAPONS.
00:07:15THAT IS AT THE WALL STREET JOURNAL IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT.
00:07:23YESTERDAY REPRESENTATIVE ALEXANDRIA GARCIA CORTEZ SPOKE
00:07:26ABOUT THE GENERATIONAL DIVIDE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
00:07:28>> ANOTHER PERSON IS HASSAN
00:07:35PIKER YOU HAVE BEEN ON HIS
00:07:38LIVESTREAM AT LEAST A FEW TIMES.
00:07:41HE IS SOMEBODY WHO SAID AMERICA
00:07:46DESERVE 9/11, NOW HE HAS BACKED OFF FROM THAT.
00:07:50IS HE SOMEBODY THAT SHOULD HAVE
00:07:52A ROLE IN THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT GOING FORWARD?
00:07:56>> WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR ELECTIONS
00:08:00THAT HAVE HAPPENED.
00:08:03MUCH WAS MADE ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE LOST YOUNG MEN IN THIS ELECTION.
00:08:10MANY OF THE SAME CONSULTANTS WRINGING THEIR HANDS TODAY WERE
00:08:13THE SAME ONES TALKING ABOUT HOW
00:08:18WE NEED TO GO ON JOE ROGAN AND
00:08:19WE NEED TO BE NOT SO WILLING TO
00:08:25ENGAGE IN CANCEL CULTURE.
00:08:30I THINK THE FLIP-FLOPPING ON
00:08:32THIS IS TACTICAL, I THINK THE
00:08:37FACT OF THE MATTER IS DEMOCRATS
00:08:41COULD GO ON FOX NEWS, DEMOCRATS COULD GO ON JOE ROGAN.
00:08:45THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO BUILD A WINNING COALITION.
00:08:49YOUNG PEOPLE ARE ENGAGING IN MEDIUMS AND CONVERSATIONS THAT
00:08:52WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ATTEND TO AND BE RESPONSIVE TO.
00:08:59WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS IN CERTAIN
00:09:02WAVES. OFTEN TIMES WHEN PEOPLE ARE
00:09:06DOING THAT MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKING, THE BIG ONE THAT
00:09:09IS BEING IGNORED IS THE
00:09:13GENERATIONAL WAVE OF ENTITLEMENT.
00:09:20MILLENNIALS ARE NOT PUNK KIDS
00:09:23ANYMORE. WE ARE GROWN ADULTS WITH
00:09:26MORTGAGES AND KIDS.
00:09:30THAT GENERATION IS STARTING TO
00:09:31BE DECISIVE AND THERE IS ANGER
00:09:38AT BEING IGNORED, SITE
00:09:42SIDELINES, HAVING OUR ECONOMIC FUTURES MORTGAGED ON EVERYTHING
00:09:45THAT CAME BEFORE US FROM THE ECONOMY TO CLIMATE.

00:12:38WAS CONFIRMED THE WEE HOURS OF
00:12:44SATURDAY MORNING.
00:12:47MAKING MAJOR NEWS ON A FRIDAY SO FEWER PEOPLE READ ON A SATURDAY.
00:12:52IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE OF PEOPLE
00:12:54WANTED TO FOLLOW THE NEWS LIVE
00:12:57BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE SLEEPING ON THE WEEKEND.
00:13:02THERE ARE SO MANY REASONS WHY
00:13:04THIS 49-50 RESULT DOES NOT
00:13:12REFLECT ANY KIND OF VOLUNTARY
00:13:14AGREEMENT, YOU HAVE PEOPLE LIKE
00:13:17TILLIS AND CORNYN WHO ORIGINALLY SAID THEY WILL OPPOSE.
00:13:24PARTLY BECAUSE OF THEIR POSSIBLE
00:13:29LOSS OF PRIVILEGES TO GO TO THE
00:13:33SENATE FLOOR AFTER THEY LEAVE OFFICE AND HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR
00:13:36FORMER COLLEAGUES.
00:13:45HOST: HOW DO YOU KNOW THERE WAS
00:13:50ARM-TWISTING AS FAR AS IF YOU DON'T CONFIRM WE WILL NOT LET
00:13:53YOU BACK HERE? WHERE DO YOU GET THAT INFORMATION?
00:13:58CALLER: THEY STATED CLEARLY
00:14:02THERE REASONS FOR OPPOSING HIM.
00:14:05HOST: THEY SAID OF THE
00:14:09ANTI-WEAPONIZATION FUND WAS DEAD THEY WOULD SUPPORT THEM SO THEY VOTED TO CONFIRM.
00:14:13CALLER: THEY REPORTED ON YOUR
00:14:16STATION AS WELL THE NATURE OF
00:14:19THE PROMISE MADE PREVENTS HIM
00:14:22FROM GOING BACK AND REINTRODUCING THE SUBSTANCE THAT
00:14:26HELP TO UNDER SOME OTHER NAME.
00:14:29PROMISING TO BAN ANY ATTEMPT TO
00:14:36REINTRODUCE THE ORIGINAL PLAN.
00:14:40YOU HAVE SOMEONE LIKE CASSIDY
00:14:43GOING FROM A NOTE TO A YES.
00:14:46IT SHOWED HE WAS UNDER INCREDIBLE STRESS.
00:14:49WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS BECAUSE OF SOME UNANNOUNCED
00:14:52THREATENING TO HIM OR SOME KIND
00:14:56OF FINANCIAL LOSS HE WAS BEING
00:14:58CONFRONTED WITH, LOSS OF THE
00:15:02OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MONEY OR
00:15:08WHETHER THERE WAS AN IMPLICIT THREAT.
00:15:12THE DAY AFTER THEY WANTED TO HELP REINFORCE.
00:15:15HOST: THAT IS SPECULATION, LET'S
00:15:18HEAR FROM SENATOR CASSIDY HE WAS
00:15:22ON PBS'S LEAD THE NATION.
00:15:26[VIDEO CLIP]
00:15:27>> YOU WERE SPECIFIC AND SOME OF
00:15:31YOUR CONCERNS. I KNOW ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL
00:15:35BLANCHE WHO SAID THEY HAD HOSTED
00:15:39DOCUMENTS INCLUDING RESENDING
00:15:42THE ORDER AND THEY HAD THE UNSIGNED STATEMENT THAT HE
00:15:46NARROWED THE TERMS OF THE TRUMP IRS PROTECTIONS YOU HAD OBJECTED TO.
00:15:57SENATOR DURBIN, WHO IS THE TOP
00:15:59DEMOCRAT ON JUDICIARY, THEY ARE
00:16:03UNENFORCEABLE, CORRECT?
00:16:04>> IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A
00:16:07BLACK-AND-WHITE DECISION HERE YOU WILL NOT FIND IT.
00:16:12THE ANTI-WEAPONIZATION FUND, IF
00:16:14YOU PUT IT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE JUDICIAL ENVIRONMENT, A PROCESS
00:16:18YOU HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH IN
00:16:20ORDER TO REINSTATE, YOU FIND OUT
00:16:23JOHN CORNYN, A FORMER STATE
00:16:26ATTORNEY GENERAL WAS COMFORTABLE WITH IT.
00:16:29>> THEY BASICALLY SAID WE CAN'T
00:16:33TAKE HIS WORD FOR IT. >> THE FACT THAT HE DID WAS
00:16:37IMPORTANT TO ME. TO A CERTAIN EXTENT BY RELYING
00:16:41ON OTHERS. I TRUST JOHN ON THAT.
00:16:45HOST: THAT WAS ON CBS.
00:16:49WE ARE TAKING YOUR CALL THIS MORNING ON YOUR TOP NEWS STORY OF THE DAY.
00:16:53WHAT YOU THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HAPPENING TODAY?
00:16:59THIS IS KEVIN, INDEPENDENT LINE.
00:17:02CALLER: CORRECT, IT IS COTILLION
00:17:09-- PAPILLION.
00:17:14THEY ARE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN THE DEMOCRATIC VOIDS IN AMERICA.
00:17:18TRUMP HAS TRIED WITH HIS
00:17:20BILLIONAIRE BUDDIES WITH THE TV
00:17:23NETWORKS TO GET MORE NEWS.
00:17:27TO ME, THAT IS RIDICULOUS.
00:17:34HOW IS TODD BLANCHE GOING TO GET IN?
00:17:39IF HE DIDN'T GET NOMINATED HE WOULD BE ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL .
00:17:48I DON'T SEE ANY DIFFERENCE ON ANY OF THAT.
00:17:52IN NEBRASKA RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A
00:17:54DEMOCRATIC VOICE.
00:17:58THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT THROUGH A
00:18:00NEBRASKA WINNER TAKE ALL IN OUR
00:18:04STATE. IT IS DIVIDED.
00:18:06WE HAVE TWO VOTES AND WE ARE
00:18:10TRYING TO SILENCE THAT HERE IN
00:18:13NEBRASKA WITH WINNER TAKE ALL.
00:18:18PETE RICKETTS BIG MONEY THROUGH
00:18:25AMERITRADE. HIS FATHER'S MONEY, HE'S ANOTHER
00:18:28ONE OF THE LITTLE SPOILED BRATS LIKE DONALD TRUMP.
00:18:30NEVER DID A DMAN THING IN HIS
00:18:35LIFE. I HAVE FRIENDS THAT WENT TO HIGH
00:18:37SCHOOL WITH HIM.
00:18:40HE WAS A SPOILED LITTLE RICH KID THEN, HE'S A SPOILED LITTLE RICH KID NOW.
00:18:44HOST: SPEAKING OF MONEY IN
00:18:47POLITICS, HERE'S WHAT SENATOR SANDERS SAID ON FACE THE NATION.
00:18:51[VIDEO CLIP]
00:18:52>> YOU HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER
00:18:58THAT WAS SHARED TO US CALLING
00:19:01FOR PUBLIC FUNDING OF ELECTIONS
00:19:03AND FOR THE PARTY TO PROHIBIT
00:19:05ENFORCEABLE ACTIONS FROM PARTICIPATING IN PRIMARY RACES.
00:19:11I UNDERSTAND YOUR PRINCIPLED ARGUMENT.
00:19:14THAT IS A FINANCIAL RESOURCE
00:19:16PROBLEM THAT IS VERY REAL COMPARED TO REPUBLICANS.
00:19:22WHY WOULD THE PARTY DISARM?
00:19:27SEN. SANDERS: WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT DISARMAMENT.
00:19:33WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
00:19:35IN MICHIGAN WHAT YOU HAD WAS
00:19:43AIPAC TRYING TO DEFEAT ABDUL.
00:19:47NOW THEY SAY WE WILL SIDE WITH THIS GUY ROGERS, WHO IS A
00:19:52REPUBLICAN. ESPECIALLY IT IS NOT JUST AIPAC.
00:19:58IT IS THE AI PEOPLE, IT IS CRYPTO.
00:20:01THEY WILL TAKE OVER THE PRIMARIES AND TRY TO GET THEIR POINT OF VIEW THROUGH.
00:20:07TO ME IT IS INSANE THE DEMOCRATS
00:20:11WILL ALLOW SOMEBODY TO COME IN
00:20:14AND THAT IF THEY LOSE GOING TO THE OTHER PARTY.
00:20:15>> YOU SAID YOU DON'T WANT
00:20:19DEMOCRATS UNILATERALLY DISARMED.
00:20:22YOU HIGHLIGHTED $60 MILLION TO
00:20:26DEFEAT DR. AL-SAYED.
00:20:31HALF OF IT CAME FROM AIPAC.
00:20:36THEY NOW SAY THEY WILL REPORT --
00:20:39SUPPORT THE REPUBLICAN IN THE GENERAL. ARE YOU OK WITH DEMOCRATS
00:20:43EXCEPTING PAC MONEY IN THE
00:20:48GENERAL BUT NOT THE PRIMARY? SEN. SANDERS: IN THE WORLD WE
00:20:51LIVE IN, THAT IS THE REALITY YOU
00:20:56CAN'T ALLOW DEMOCRATIC
00:20:57CANDIDATES TO BE OUTSPENT 50
00:21:01-ONE. DEMOCRATS COULD TAKE CHARGE OF
00:21:03WHAT TAKES PLACE WITHIN THEIR OWN PRIMARIES RIGHT NOW.
00:21:11DEMOCRATS COULD GET SUPER PAC'S OUT, THAT'S WHAT THEY SHOULD DO.
00:21:13HOST: WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR TOP

00:21:41LIFESTYLE THAT THEY THINK THEY DESERVE.

00:21:48SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN
00:21:52SUCCESSFUL SO THEY HAVE TAKEN SOMETHING AWAY FROM ME AND NEED
00:21:56TO BE PUNISHED. REPUBLICANS ARE THE PARTY OF
00:22:00SELF-DETERMINATION. DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF EVERY KID DESERVES A TROPHY.

00:23:44HOST: THAT SHUTDOWN WAS SIX
00:23:48YEARS AGO, DO YOU STILL THINK

00:23:53STORE?
00:23:54CALLER: I COULDN'T REALLY SLEEP

00:27:16IS DOING WRONG.
00:27:24HOST: WE WILL WATCH THE ELECTION

00:28:07LISTENING WILL HAVE THE SAME ANSWER.

00:28:19CALLER: LAWS.
00:28:23WHEN I SAY TIME I MEAN TODAY.
00:28:27JUST TO PROVE TODD BLANCHE, WHO MADE IT VERY CLEAR HE WANTS THIS
00:28:30PRESIDENT TO BE ABOUT THE LAW.
00:28:32HE MADE THAT VERY CLEAR BEFORE THEY APPROVED HIM AS THE NEXT
00:28:36ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE PEOPLE.
00:28:38HOST: WHY DO YOU SAY HE PROVES
00:28:42HE WANTS PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BE ABOVE THE LAW?
00:28:46CALLER: HE HAS MADE IT CLEAR
00:28:51SAYING THIS PRESIDENT IS ABOVE THE LAW AND HIS FAMILY.
00:28:59SAYING THIS PRESIDENT SHOULD BE
00:29:04ABOVE INVESTIGATION. HOST: YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IRS AUDITS?
00:29:11CALLER: NOT JUST HIM BUT HIS
00:29:15FAMILY AS WELL. THERE'S ONLY ONE REASON YOU WANT TO PROTECT SOMEBODY FROM
00:29:19INVESTIGATION. WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS.
00:29:23THERE IS AN ENTIRE POLITICAL
00:29:25PARTY, WE KNOW THE PARTY WHO SIMPLY REFUSED TO DO THEIR JOB.
00:29:32THE REPUBLICANS AND SIMPLY REFUSE TO CHECK AND BALANCE THIS
00:29:36PRESIDENT. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO IT,
00:29:39THEY HAVEN'T DONE IT TO DATE. REAL SIMPLE THE PEOPLE OF THIS
00:29:44COUNTRY, I HAVE VERY LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THEM.
00:29:47THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY ON
00:29:50ELECTION DAY HAVE TO TELL ALL REPUBLICANS WE ARE GOING TO PUSH
00:29:53YOU OUT UNTIL WE COULD FIX THIS PROBLEM.
00:29:56WE NEED TO GET PEOPLE IN HERE WHO WILL CHECK AND BALANCE THIS
00:30:00GUY, CURRENT REPUBLICANS IN
00:30:04CHARGE WANT TO KEEP HIM ABOVE THE LAW.
00:30:05HOST: ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE
00:30:10CURRENT SLATE OF DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES?
00:30:14CALLER: I DON'T THINK I HAVE
00:30:18EVER BEEN HAPPY. I'M AN INDEPENDENT. I HAVE VOTED REPUBLICAN AND
00:30:22DEMOCRAT MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE.
00:30:25AM I HAPPY WITH ALL OF THEM? NO.
00:30:28AM I PLEASED WITH MANY? YES.
00:30:30THERE ARE SOME REPUBLICAN WHO I
00:30:33HAPPEN TO LIKE. THE PROBLEM IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
00:30:38YOU NEED TO TEACH EVERYONE OF THEM A LESSON THAT UNTIL YOU
00:30:42START DOING YOUR JOB WE HAVE TO VOTE YOU OUT AND BRING IN
00:30:46REPUBLICANS AT SOME POINT WHO
00:30:53WILL TAKE THE CONSTITUTION SERIOUSLY AND BEGIN TO UP RIGHT
00:30:57THIS SHIP THAT IS SINKING
00:31:01QUICKLY AND BADLY. WE HAVE TO VOTE OUT ALL OF THE
00:31:03REPUBLICANS THAT HAVE RUN THE GOVERNMENT.
00:31:07HOST: WE HAVE RICHARD.
00:31:11GOOD MORNING.
00:31:11CALLER: THIS PREVIOUS CALLER WAS
00:31:17TALKING ABOUT WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS. I'M THINKING REALLY?
00:31:23WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN TOOK OVER
00:31:24THEY HAD OPEN BORDERS AND LET IN
00:31:3110 MILLION PEOPLE OVER FOUR YEARS.
00:31:37I DON'T THINK THAT WAS LEGAL.
00:31:43NOBODY DID ANYTHING TO SLOW IT DOWN OR STOP IT UNTIL THERE WAS
00:31:46A CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION.
00:31:53WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PRICES AND ALL OF THAT.
00:32:12HOST: YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GROCERY PRICES?
00:32:15CALLER: NO I'M TALKING ABOUT HOUSING, MEDICAL.
00:32:18ONE THING THAT I'VE SEEN OVER THE YEARS IS THAT I'M IN
00:32:22CALIFORNIA.
00:32:22WE HAVE ONE PARTY RULE.
00:32:28THAT SEEMS TO BE FAIR WITH THE
00:32:32DEMOCRATS. THERE ARE 52 DISTRICTS AND THE
00:32:36DEMOCRATS CONTROL 43 OF THEM.
00:32:39REPUBLICANS HAVE NINE AND I
00:32:42GUESS THIS NEXT ELECTION COMING UP WE MAY LOSE FOUR.
00:32:45THAT WILL MAKE THE DEMOCRATS
00:32:50DOWN TO FIVE.
00:32:5352 DISTRICTS THEN REPUBLICANS
00:32:57HAVE FIVE. JUST TAKE A WELCOME AT CALIFORNIA.
00:33:00PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THE STATE.
00:33:06I LIKE TO TELL EVERYBODY THAT
00:33:09YOU WANT TO LOOK IN THE FUTURE,
00:33:12I THINK BIG THING THEY USE HERE IS CLIMATE CHANGE.
00:33:16WE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY OUT OF
00:33:20OUR JUST BASIC INCOME TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE.
00:33:24MAYBE IN 100 YEARS IF WE DO
00:33:29EVERYTHING RIGHT IT WILL BE LIKE LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OR THE
00:33:32TEMPERATURE MAY CHANGE.
00:33:34UTILITY RATES ARE HIGH.
00:33:40THEN GOVERNOR NEWSOME HE WANTS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
00:33:43I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK.
00:33:46THERE'S SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.
00:33:49ONE LAST THING.
00:33:51THERE WAS A TOLL, 50% OF THE
00:33:55KIDS COMING OUT OF SCHOOL, 20 TO
00:34:0030 THEY DON'T KNOW WHY ME
00:34:02COMMEMORATE JULY 4th.
00:34:04IT'S LIKE YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
00:34:08HOST: THIS IS WHAT BARB IN ILLINOIS SAYS.
00:34:11HER TOP NEWS STORY IS THE IRANIAN NEGOTIATION IN OMAN
00:34:14WHICH PUT FORTH DEMANDS FOR THE
00:34:16U.S. TO REMOVE THE BLOCKADE AND
00:34:19LIFT SANCTIONS WHILE PARTIALLY
00:34:22OPENING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.
00:34:26KEVIN HASSETT IS TOP ECONOMIC ADVISOR ON PRESIDENT TRUMP HE
00:34:29WAS 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
00:34:37CLOSED. BECAUSE THE WAR IN IRAN.
00:34:40IRAN TAKING THE STRAIT HOSTAGE.
00:34:42A MONTH AGO YOU SAID UP BULLISH THERE'S GOING TO BE A HECK OF
00:34:46LOT TRAFFIC MOVING THROUGH EVERY SINGLE DAY.
00:34:49YOU EXPECT THAT THIS WILL CRUISE
00:34:52TO NORMALCY SOMETIME REALLY SOON.
00:34:54THAT IS NOT THE CASE RIGHT NOW.
00:34:56IRAN MOST RECENTLY HAS DELIVERED
00:34:58THE SET OF DEMANDS THAT MUST BE
00:35:00MET TO OPEN THE STRAIT. IT INCLUDES THE LIFTING OF THE
00:35:04NAVAL BLOCKADE AND SANCTIONS,
00:35:06WAR REPARATIONS THE RELEASE OF
00:35:08FROZEN IRANIAN ASSETS AND END
00:35:10ATTACKS ON IRAN'S ALLIES.
00:35:14I GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHEN REALLY SOON IS.
00:35:17>> IT'S HAPPENING ALREADY, JAKE.
00:35:20I DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH THE IRANIANS. I DON'T THINK I'LL BE VERY GOOD AT IT.
00:35:24THE FACT IS RIGHT IN THE PEAK OF
00:35:27THE CONFLICT EARLY ON, YOU SAW
00:35:29THAT OIL PRICES WERE GOING WAY NORTH OF $100 A BARREL.
00:35:34RIGHT NOW, THERE WERE HIGH 70'S LATE IN THE WEEK.
00:35:38THEY'RE RUNNING ABOUT 80 OVER THE WEEKEND.
00:35:40THE REASON OIL PRICES HAVE COME
00:35:42DOWN OUR EXCELLENT NAVY HAS BEEN ESCORTING SHIPS OUT OF THE GULF.
00:35:46WE'VE TAKEN A WHOLE NUMBER OF
00:35:48STEPS INCLUDING INCREASING
00:35:51PRODUCTION, WAIVING THE JONES ACT.
00:35:55100 MILLION BARRELS OF GULF OF
00:35:56AMERICA PRODUCED OIL ARE SHIPPED
00:36:00IN THE EAST COAST. WE WAIVED JONES ACT.
00:36:03PRICES ARE STILL HIGHER THAN WE WOULD LIKE.
00:36:05WE'VE TAKEN A LOT OF STEPS WHEN
00:36:07THE GULF SITUATION IS RESOLVED,
00:36:10WE 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
00:36:17ABOUT THE ECONOMY.
00:36:19YOU SAID YOUR BULLISH THERE WILL
00:36:23BE HECK OF A LOT OF TRAFFIC MOVING.
00:36:25IT'S NOT A HECK OF A LOT.
00:36:29>> THE PRICES WENT DOWN 50%.
00:36:34HOST: YOUR TOP NEWS STORY.
00:36:36JACKIE IS A REPUBLICAN, TOLEDO, OHIO.
00:36:39WHAT'S YOUR TOP NEWS STORY OF THE DAY? CALLER: I DON'T KNOW.
00:36:43I REALLY NEEDED TO CALL IN TODAY.
00:36:46THESE PEOPLE CALLING ME GOT ME SO MAD.
00:36:49PEOPLE SEEM TO FORGET THE FOUR YEARS OF HELL WE WERE PUT
00:36:52THROUGH WITH THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
00:36:54WE WERE PAYING $5, OVER $5 A
00:36:57GALLON FOR GAS. THERE WAS NO WAR WITH US.
00:37:00NOW WE GOT A WAR AND PEOPLE KEEP
00:37:03SAYING IT'S A WAR OF CHOICE. NO, IT WAS NOT.
00:37:05THERE WAS A MEETING AND ONE OF
00:37:08THE IRANIAN OFFICIALS THAT WAS
00:37:10REPRESENTING IRAN WAS BRAGGING
00:37:12THAT WITHIN TWO WEEKS THEY WOULD
00:37:15HAVE ENOUGH URANIUM AT THE GRADE
00:37:19THEY NEEDED FOR THE WEAPONS. THAT'S WHY TRUMP FELT THE NEED
00:37:23TO DO IT WHEN HE DID IT. AS FAST AS HE DID IT.
00:37:26THIS MAN STEPPED IN TO A HECK OF
00:37:30MESS. EVERY AMERICAN THIS COUNTRY SHOULD REALIZE THAT.
00:37:33THEY JUST HATE TRUMP SO MUCH. THIS MAN IS DOING EVERYTHING
00:37:37HE'S GOT TO SAVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
00:37:40PEOPLE BETTER WAKE UP.
00:37:42THE DEMOCRATS HAVE CHANGED INTO COMMUNISM.
00:37:45IT'S HAPPEN RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES.
00:37:48LOOK AT NEW YORK.
00:37:51HOST: JACKIE, I WANTED TO GO
00:37:53BACK TO THE PRICE OF GAS, YOU'RE
00:37:57CORRECT, $5.02 WAS THE MAXIMUM
00:37:59DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. BUT AT THE END OF THE
00:38:03ADMINISTRATION, IT WAS $3.11.
00:38:05WHICH IS HIGHER THAN IT IS NOW.
00:38:07WHICH IS OVER $4.
00:38:10I UNDERSTAND YOU THINK THAT --
00:38:14YOU SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S EFFORTS IN IRAN TO GO TO WAR
00:38:18WITH IRAN. HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THE
00:38:22AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL TOLERATE
00:38:23THAT ELEVATED GAS PRICE?
00:38:28CALLER: WELL, WE PUT UP WITH IT FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
00:38:31NOT ONLY THAT, LOOK AT THE FOOD.
00:38:33THE FOOD PRICES AT THE GROCERY
00:38:35STORE HAVE NEVER GONE DOWN SINCE
00:38:40WHAT BIDEN DID.
00:38:41IT'S NOT TRUMP'S FAULT.
00:38:46HOST: BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP
00:38:47PROMISED THAT HE WOULD LOWER
00:38:51PRICES. YOU REMEMBER THAT FROM THE
00:38:55ELECTION OF 2024.
00:38:58CALLER: HE DIDN'T KNOW HE WOULD HAVE TO GO TO WAR. IN ALL HONESTY.
00:39:02THESE PEOPLE NEED TO GIVE PRESIDENT TRUMP SOME SLACK.
00:39:05THEY BETTER WAKE UP BECAUSE IF YOU LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND YOU
00:39:09LOVE THE FREEDOMS THAT WE HAVE
00:39:12CHOICE WHAT WE WANTED AT THE GROCERY STORE.
00:39:15THEY'LL TAKE OVER ALL OF THEM.
00:39:17IT'S GOING TO BE RATIONING LINES.
00:39:20PEOPLE THAT I HEAR COMPLAINING
00:39:22OUGHT TO GO TO CUBA.
00:39:25IF THEY WANT TO LIVE LIKE THAT, THEY SHOULD CITY US. THIS US.
00:39:29THIS IS UNITED STATES. WE LOVE OUR FREEDOM. WE LOVE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE
00:39:33HAVE HERE.
00:39:34YOU CAN DO PRETTY MUCH WHATEVER
00:39:37YOU WANT. THESE SOCIALISTS COMMUNIST,
00:39:42THAT'S WHAT THEY TRULY ARE. THEY WILL TAKE OVER.
00:39:45WE WILL LOSE EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING THAT'S DEAR TO US. HOST: ALL RIGHT.
00:39:50HERE IS PAUL IN TEXAS
00:39:52INDEPENDENT LINE. HI, PAUL.
00:39:56CALLER: GOOD MORNING. I LIKE TO RESPOND TO THE LADY
00:39:59THAT JUST CALLED.
00:40:01I'M A MEMBER OF THE TEXAS
00:40:05SOLIDARITY PARTY.
00:40:06WE CALL OURSELVES A CHRISTIAN
00:40:10SOCIALIST PARTY.
00:40:12I WOULD RECOMMEND EVERYONE LOOK
00:40:15AT THEIR WEBSITE AND LOOK AT THE PLATFORM.
00:40:19IT'S BASED ON SCRIPTURE.
00:40:21I'M NOT A COMMUNIST.
00:40:23I HAVE READ KARL MARX. I HAVE NOT ONE.
00:40:27MY PROBLEM WITH DONALD TRUMP HAS
00:40:31DONE SO FAR IS THAT HE'S THERE
00:40:34AND BACK AND THERE AGAIN.
00:40:38OUR PARTY, WE HAVE A PLATFORM.
00:40:40ANY CANDIDATE WHO WANTS TO RUN
00:40:44UNDER THAT LABEL AS A TEXAS
00:40:46SOLIDARITY CANDIDATE MUST ADHERE
00:40:49TO THAT PLATFORM AND IF THEY
00:40:52DECIDE IF THEY DO GET ELECTED,
00:40:55TO CHANGE IT THEY HAVE TO COME
00:40:58TO US MEMBERS OF THE PARTY TO GET IT DONE.
00:41:01HOST: DO YOU MIND IF I ASK YOU. YOU MENTIONED CHRISTIAN
00:41:05SOCIALISM BUT IT'S NOT
00:41:08COMMUNISM.
00:41:10TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
00:41:14SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM AND WHY
00:41:15YOU REJECT THE COMMUNISM LABEL?
00:41:19CALLER: BECAUSE THE HISTORY OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY IS SUCH THAT
00:41:23ONE PERSON AND THEN ANOTHER
00:41:26DECIDED TO BE ABOVE THE PARTY
00:41:29PLATFORM.
00:41:31OWNERSHIP OF ALL MEANS PRODUCTION.
00:41:34I AS A SOCIALIST JUST LIKE THE
00:41:38SOCIALIST IN EUROPE ALLOW SHELL,
00:41:43ETCETERA. WE DO HAVE THINGS MOSTLY IN THE
00:41:47SOCIAL AREA. HEALTHCARE, FOOD, EDUCATION,
00:41:51ETCETERA. WE ARE NOT COMMUNISTS.
00:41:54ONLY THING ONE HAS TO DO IS LOOK AT THE VARIOUS SOCIALIST PARTIES
00:41:58IN EUROPE WHO HAVE BEEN
00:42:03CAPITALISTS TOO AT THE SAME TIME. THEY RECOGNIZE THAT THE GOOD OF
00:42:06ALL HAS TO BE DEALT WITH.
00:42:08I HAVE A FRIEND WHO LIVES IN FRANCE.
00:42:12HE CAN ACTUALLY GET HIS DRUGS
00:42:15DIRECTLY FROM THE PHARMACY HE
00:42:17GOES TO AS OPPOSED TO REQUIRING
00:42:22A DOCTOR TO PERMIT IT.
00:42:23A PHARMACIST SCHEDULED LICENSED
00:42:27TO DISPENSE.
00:42:31HOST: YOUR FRIEND IN FRANCE, HOW
00:42:33MUCH DOES HE PAY IN TAXES?
00:42:36CALLER: HE DOESN'T HAVE FRENCH CITIZENSHIP.
00:42:40THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE,
00:42:42NOT EUROPEAN COUNTRY DO THAT HAS
00:42:44WHAT'S KNOWN AS PASSIVE INCOME.
00:42:48FRANCE HAS AN AGREEMENT WITH THE UNITED STATES.
00:42:51YOU MOVE THERE -- LET'S SAY SIX
00:42:55MONTHSLONGEST YOU CAN STAY THERE --
00:42:59HOST: HE'S NOT PAYING TAXES BUT FRENCH CITIZEN WHO DO HAVE
00:43:02UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, THEY HAVE
00:43:04ALL THESE OTHER SOCIAL PROGRAMS
00:43:07AND SAFETY NETS.
00:43:09HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING IN TAXES?
00:43:13CALLER: I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT. THE TAX RATE IS PROBABLY LITTLE
00:43:17HIGHER THAN THE UNITED STATES.
00:43:26I DID A TOUR AT THE MISSOURI COUNTY JAIL WITH SOME OTHER
00:43:30SENIORS. WE WERE ASKED TO DO SO SO WE CAN
00:43:33TELL OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS WHAT THE CONDITION OF THAT JAIL WAS
00:43:37IN TERMS OF PERSONNEL
00:43:41REQUIREMENTS AND THE MACHINERY FOR TESTING FOR ALCOHOL.
00:43:44WE HAVE TO SEND IT OUT.
00:43:49I WANT AS A SOCIALIST, I WANT
00:43:51THE GOVERNMENT TO PRIORITIZE
00:43:55THINGS. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WANTS
00:43:59TO DO STUFF WITH THE SWIMMING POOL AND THE BALLROOM AND THE
00:44:03WHITE HOUSE. AND THE WAR IN IRAN.
00:44:07WE CAN DO THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE
00:44:09LIFE EASIER IN THIS COUNTRY FOR
00:44:13ALL PEOPLE. I ASKED MY NEIGHBORS IN MY TOWN
00:44:17NOT TO GO TO THE HIGH END
00:44:19DEVELOPMENTS WHERE I LIVE BUT GO
00:44:21TO THE INNER CITY, THE HOUSES
00:44:23THAT WERE BUILT IN THE '60s
00:44:27AND '70s AND SEE WHO LIVES IN YOUR TOWN.
00:44:30HOST: WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST OF
00:44:33AMERICA IN THE NEXT SEGMENT. STAY WITH US FOR THAT.
00:44:37GREG IN OHIO, DEMOCRAT.
00:44:39YOU'RE ON THE AIR.
00:44:41CALLER: GOOD MORNING, AMERICA.
00:44:44OUR TOP NEWS STORY IS THE
00:44:46ECONOMY.
00:44:48I'M VERY OBSERVANT PRIOR TO
00:44:51TRUMP BECOMING PRESIDENT,
00:44:54REPUBLICANS SCANTILY CALLED THIS
00:44:57-- CONSTANTLY CALLED THIS SHOW AND COMPLAINED ABOUT PRICE. NOW THEY ARE GHOST.
00:45:02MY ELECTRICITY BILL LAST MONTH
00:45:06WAS $353.
00:45:11THE REPUBLICANS CONTROL THREE
00:45:14BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT.
00:45:16PEOPLE CONSTANTLY CALL THIS SHOW ABOUT ILLEGALS.
00:45:20THEY HAVE ILLEGAL OBSESSIVE
00:45:23SYNDROME IF INFILTRATED THE GRID
00:45:27AND MED MY ELECTRICITY GO UP
00:45:29JUST LIKE SPIDER MAN.
00:45:35IT'S BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION.
00:45:41NOW REPUBLICANS HAVE AMNESIA.
00:45:44WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT PRICES.
00:45:47NOW WE WILL JUST TALK ABOUT COMMUNIST AND SOCIALISM.
00:45:51IT'S BEYOND HUMAN BELIEF. YOU CONTROL THREE BRANCHES OF
00:45:54THE GOVERNMENT. MAX MILLER IS IN ANY DISTRICT.
00:45:57WE'RE GOING TO ENSURE THAT MAX MILLER IS GONE.
00:46:00THEY ARE ANTI-NATIONAL SIGNS
00:46:08ANYWHERE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. HE'S FINISHED.
00:46:10THERE'S GOING TO BE ONE MORE VOTE TOWARDS DEMOCRATS
00:46:13CONTROLLING THE HOUSE.
00:46:15WHO IS MORE FOOLISH?
00:46:18THE FOOL OR THE FOOLS WHO FOLLOW HIM.
00:46:22HOST: HERE'S WILLIE A REPUBLICAN IN KATIE, TEXAS. CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
00:46:26I WANT TO SAY ONE THING ABOUT
00:46:30YOU MIMI.
00:46:32FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS I GOT
00:46:34YOU AS THE MODERATOR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:46:37I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU
00:46:39KNOW I WASN'T TRYING TO MANIPULATE OR ANYTHING.
00:46:42FOR SOME REASON I GOT YOU.
00:46:44I'M GLAD.
00:46:46HAVING SAID THAT.
00:46:49MY MAIN ISSUE FIRST OF ALL,
00:46:53PEOPLE KEEP TALKING ABOUT SOCIALISM AND CHAMPIONISM.
00:46:57I'M FRUSTRATED WITH THAT EVEN
00:47:00SMARTEST PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT
00:47:03COMMUNISM MEANS THE GOVERNMENT HAS EVERYTHING.
00:47:05YOU GO TO SHOE STORE AND IT'S
00:47:12GORBACHEV AND SONS. YOU GO TO THE BREAD LINE YOU SEE
00:47:15THESE LINES FOREVER.
00:47:19THAT'S COMMUNISM. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS YOU CAN HAVE
00:47:21A HOUSE, OH, BUT YOU CAN HAVE AN APARTMENT.
00:47:25YOU GOT TO PILE IN EIGHT PEOPLE
00:47:27INTO ONE BEDROOM. THAT'S COMMUNISM.
00:47:31EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND.
00:47:34SOCIALISM IT'S A STEP DOWN.
00:47:37THE GOVERNMENT GETS TO CONTROL
00:47:38THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND
00:47:41SUCH. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS.
00:47:45THAT'S NOT COMMUNISM.
00:47:47HERE'S THE THING.
00:47:50MY BIGGEST THING IS AGAIN IT'S
00:47:53THE HATRED OF THE PRESIDENT.
00:47:56YOU GOT TODD BLANCHE.
00:48:08TO GET HIS ENDORSEMENT FROM THE
00:48:11PRESIDENT TO BE THE DEPARTMENT
00:48:14OF JUSTICE, PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK
00:48:17THAT THE PRESIDENT'S FAMILY, I
00:48:20HATE TO HEAR THESE PEOPLE SAY
00:48:22THAT THE PRESIDENT HIS ISSUES
00:48:27AND HIS FAMILY ARE CORRUPT AND SUCH.
00:48:31HOW IN THE WORLD CAN THAT BE
00:48:34WHEN THE MAN DOESN'T TAKE A SALARY.
00:48:37HIS FAMILY SONS, HIS DAUGHTER,
00:48:41HIS FOLKS IN THE FAMILY THEY ARE
00:48:43ALLOWED TO RUN THEIR OWN
00:48:46BUSINESSES AS OPPOSED TO BIDEN
00:48:51FOLKS. FRANKLY, NO ONE SAID ANYTHING
00:48:54ABOUT WHAT THIS MAN DID AND
00:48:57ALLOWED HIS SON TO DO WHILE HE'S
00:49:00THE PRESIDENT.
00:49:03HOST: WILLIE, WHAT PEOPLE WOULD SAY TO THAT, ACCORDING TO THE
00:49:06"NEW YORK TIMES," THE PRESIDENT HAS MADE $2 BILLION SINCE
00:49:09RETURNING TO OFFICE.
00:49:10THAT'S NOWHERE NEAR WHAT HE
00:49:14WOULD MAKE SALARY $400,000 IS
00:49:18NOT ANYWHERE IN THAT SAME
00:49:20BALLPARK AS $2 BILLION.
00:49:25CALLER: I UNDERSTAND. HOST: YOU'RE SAYING THIS BECAUSE HE'S A SMART BUSINESSMAN?
00:49:29CALLER: NOT ONLY HE'S A SMART

00:50:07KEN PAXTON IS GOING TO WIPE THE FLOOR.
00:50:10I'M TOTALLY GLAD OF THAT.
00:50:11CAN I SAY ALSO, MICHIGAN AND I
00:50:18WANT TO SAY MASSACHUSETTS. FOR THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS.
00:50:22, THE DEMOCRATS HAVE PUT THEMSELVES INTO THE WATER ON
00:50:25THEIR OWN BECAUSE THESE FOLKS
00:50:27ARE NOT YOUR REGULAR DEMOCRATS.

00:55:27SENIOR U.S. OFFICIALS WERE CONCERNED THAT SUCH INTRUSIONS
00:55:30COULD AFFECT MILITARY BASES ON GUAM BUT ALSO CIVILIAN WATER
00:55:34SUPPLIES. MANY OF WHICH WERE POORLY PROTECTED AGAINST HACKS.
00:55:38THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ALARMED

00:55:54MEMO TO REQUIRE STATES WORK WITH
00:55:57LOCAL OFFICIALS TO SPOT WEAKNESSES IN WATER SYSTEM THAT
