00:01:05HOST: GOOD MORNING, HAPPY
00:01:09SATURDAY TO YOU. A LOT OF HEADLINES TO GET THROUGH SO CALL IN AND GIVE US
00:01:13YOUR TOP NEW STORY OF THE WEEK. WE WILL START WITH THE
00:01:17U.S.-CANADA TRADE WAR. THIS BLEW UP OVER THE LAST WEEK AFTER CANADA STEPPED AWAY FROM
00:01:23THE NEGOTIATING TABLE LAST WEEKEND, INFURIATING PRESIDENT
00:01:25TRUMP WHO RESPONDED WITH TARIFFS, BACK-AND-FORTH AND
00:01:28SUED, LEADING TO THE DRAMATIC
00:01:31AND UNEXPECTED NAME CHANGE OF LAKE ONTARIO AND THE GREAT LAKES REGION.
00:01:35ON WEDNESDAY WE HAD THE WHITE HOUSE TRADE ADVISOR PETER
00:01:38NAVARRO ON THIS PROGRAM TO TALK
00:01:40ABOUT HIS PERSPECTIVE -- FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE WHAT LED TO THIS.
00:01:44HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. [VIDEO CLIP]
00:01:45>> THE WHOLE ISSUE AROSE FROM
00:01:49WHAT WE CALL SECTION 338 ACTION
00:01:55AGAINST CANADA. 338 GIVES THE UNITED STATES
00:01:58TRADE REPRESENTATIVE THE POWER TO IMPOSE TARIFFS WHERE ANOTHER
00:02:03COUNTRY DISCRIMINATES AGAINST
00:02:05THE UNITED STATES WITH RESPECT TO HOW IT TREATS US.
00:02:09IN OTHER WORDS, IF CANADA IS DOING SOMETHING TO EVERYBODY IN
00:02:13THE REST OF THE WORLD, 338
00:02:16DOESN'T APPLY. BUT IF IT IS JUST SINGLING US
00:02:18OUT -- IN THE CASE OF THE 338,
00:02:23WE CLEARLY HAVE A MAJOR DAIRY PROBLEM WITH CANADA.
00:02:27THEY GOT TRIPLE DIGIT TARIFFS ON
00:02:30OUR DAIRY FARMS, AND TRY AS WE
00:02:34MIGHT DATING BACK TO THE FIRST TRUMP TERM, THEY ARE UNREPENTANT.
00:02:39THEY JUST STICK IT TO US. THAT'S NUMBER ONE.
00:02:42NUMBER TWO, THEY CUT OFF
00:02:45ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES FOR SALE IN
00:02:47THEIR STORES, WHICH IS
00:02:51UNBELIEVABLE. YOU CAN'T GO INTO A STORE IN THE PROVINCES AND BUY KENTUCKY BOURBON.
00:02:54>> WE WILL LEAVE THIS RECORDED
00:02:58PROGRAM HERE, BUT YOU CAN FINISH WATCHING IT IF YOU GO TO OUR
00:03:02WEBSITE, C-SPAN.ORG. LIVE EVENT COVERAGE ON C-SPAN.
00:03:06>> LUTNICK AND GREER ASKING THE
00:03:10WHITE HOUSE TO CONSIDER HOW
00:03:14TARIFFS COULD RAISE COSTS FOR MAINERS AND OTHER BUSINESSES.
00:03:17THE WHITE HOUSE IN RECENT DAYS
00:03:18HAS CRITICIZED CANADA QUITE HEAVILY.
00:03:22I'M CURIOUS WHAT YOU THINK OF THE WHITE HOUSE'S RESPONSE AND
00:03:25YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE SITUATION AS IT EVOLVES.
00:03:27>> I'M CONTINUING TO WORK WITH
00:03:32BOTH SECRETARY LUTNICK AND
00:03:32INVESTOR GREER TO MAKE SURE THAT
00:03:36THEY REALIZE JUST HOW HARMFUL
00:03:39THESE TARIFFS ARE. PARTICULARLY SINCE CANADA WILL
00:03:45RETALIATE. WE'VE HAD AN INITIAL VICTORY
00:03:47WHERE CANADA TOOK OFF THE TABLES
00:03:52SO TO SPEAK THE RETALIATORY
00:03:55TARIFFS FOR LOBSTER AND FISHING
00:03:59PRODUCTS. THOSE ARE CRITICAL TO AN AREA
00:04:04LIKE WASHINGTON COUNTY AND OTHER COASTAL AREAS OF MAINE.
00:04:11I TALKED SPECIFICALLY ON THE PHONE WITH AMBASSADOR GREER
00:04:14ABOUT ISSUES RANGING FROM WILD
00:04:18BLUEBERRIES HARVESTING EQUIPMENT, WHICH IS ONLY
00:04:21AVAILABLE FROM CANADA, TO ISSUES
00:04:25LIKE CONCRETE AND THE IMPACT ON
00:04:30SMALL CONTRACTORS OF THE
00:04:37ESCALATION, TO ROAD SALT, WHICH
00:04:41IS USED THROUGHOUT MAINE IN THE WINTER. ONE SMALL TOWN IN NORTHERN MAINE
00:04:45THAT HAD UNDER 1000 PEOPLE TOLD
00:04:47ME THAT THE TARIFFS WOULD ADD
00:04:50$10,000 TO THE COST OF THE ROAD
00:04:54SALT THEY GET FROM CANADA.
00:04:56SO THE IMPLICATIONS ARE SEVERE
00:05:01FOR MANY COMMUNITIES, SMALL
00:05:06BUSINESSES, LARGE BUSINESSES -- LIKE OUR PAPER MILLS, AND MOST
00:05:10OF ALL MAINE FAMILIES.
00:05:13THAT'S WHY I FEEL SO STRONGLY. AND I'M GOING TO KEEP TALKING
00:05:16WITH THE ADMINISTRATION.
00:05:19CANADA IS NOT CHINA. CANADA IS OUR BEST FRIEND AND
00:05:24ALLY AND OUR BIGGEST TRADING PARTNER.
00:05:28IF YOU TALK TO PEOPLE IN CALL
00:05:33IS THEY CROSS THE BORDER TO SAINT STEPHEN ALL THE TIME.
00:05:36I GREW UP IN NORTHERN MAINE 20
00:05:39MINUTES FROM THE CANADIAN BORDER. SO I KNOW FIRSTHAND JUST HOW
00:05:44DEVASTATING THESE TARIFFS WILL BE.
00:05:46>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.
00:05:54[INDISCERNIBLE BACKGROUND
00:05:56CONVERSATIONS]
00:05:59>> YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING LIVE
00:06:03COVERAGE. WE RETURN NOW TO OUR SCHEDULE PROGRAM.
00:06:07WE JOINED IT IN PROGRESS.
00:06:08HOST: -- SHE WRITES, I APPLAUD
00:06:14HIM FOR HAVING THE COURAGE AND INTEGRITY TO FINALLY BE SOMEONE
00:06:17TO STAND UP TO TRUMP. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL OUTLINES
00:06:20A BIT MORE THE DETAILS OF WHERE THIS TRADE WERE STANDS NOW.
00:06:24THIS IS A PIECE FROM AUGUST 26, A COUPLE DAYS AGO.
00:06:28LAST SATURDAY AT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IMPOSED 50% TARIFFS ON $20 BILLION OF
00:06:32CANADIAN GOODS LEADING PRIME MINISTER CARNEY TO
00:06:36RETALIATE ON SIMILAR U.S. GOODS
00:06:42EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 8. PRESIDENT TRUMP BLASTED CANADA
00:06:44ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THREATENED
00:06:48TO RENAME LAKE ONTARIO TO LAKE AMERICA, WHICH HE ULTIMATELY DID.
00:06:52HE SAID HE WOULD DOUBLE INTO 50%
00:06:54AND IMPOSE LEVIES ON AUTO PARTS
00:06:56WHICH COULD IMPERIL THE NORTH AMERICAN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
00:06:59WHERE PARTS IS IF A BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE BORDER SEVERAL
00:07:02TIMES BEFORE THEY ARE ASSEMBLED INTO A VEHICLE.
00:07:05THE NEXT PHASE OF TRUMP'S
00:07:06TARIFFS WON'T TAKE EFFECT
00:07:11UNTIL JANUARY 7, GIVING PLENTY OF TIME.
00:07:15ON WEDNESDAY, THE U.S. TRADE REPRESENTATIVE JAMIESON GREER SAID IT'S NOT CLEAR WHAT IT
00:07:18WOULD TAKE TO GET BOTH SIDES BACK TO THE TABLE. WE DON'T HAVE OPEN CHANNELS
00:07:22RIGHT NOW, HE SAID.
00:07:24THOSE TALKS REALLY FALLING APART
00:07:27TO A DEGREE THAT I THINK A REALLY STRIKING.
00:07:31WE ACTUALLY ALSO, ON THIS WEEK'S
00:07:33PROGRAM OF CEASE-FIRE, THERE WAS A BACK-AND-FORTH BETWEEN A
00:07:37REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST OVER WHETHER OR NOT THIS TRADE WAR MAKES SENSE FOR THE PRESIDENT
00:07:40AND FOR HIS POLITICAL TEAM, ESPECIALLY WITH NOVEMBER'S
00:07:44MIDTERM ELECTIONS PICKING UP. WE HAVE A REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST
00:07:48AARON MCGUIRE AND REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST KURT GARDELLA ON C-SPAN DEBATING IT.
00:07:52HERE'S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY.
00:07:56[VIDEO CLIP]
00:07:57>> POINTS OUT CANADA HAS THE
00:08:02ADVANTAGE. HERE THE HEADLINE. CANADA HAS ONE IMPORTANT EDGE IN
00:08:06THE NORTH AMERICAN TRADE WAR. IT'S NOT CLEAR HOW LONG THE
00:08:09CANADIAN GOVERNMENT CAN SUPPORT SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED
00:08:13BUSINESSES IN A PROLONGED TARIFF
00:08:14TIT FOR TAT, BUT POLL AFTER POLL SHOWS CANADIANS ACROSS THE
00:08:18POLITICAL SPECTRUM ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT THOSE IMPACTS IN ORDER TO STAND UP TO THE U.S.
00:08:22GOVERNMENT. THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE IN THE UNITED STATES, WHERE EVEN MANY
00:08:26IN THE PRESIDENT'S OWN PARTY OPPOSED TRUMP STREET AGENDA,
00:08:30PARTICULARLY HIS TARIFFS ON CANADA.
00:08:32>> GOOD FOR THE CANADIAN PEOPLE. I'M GLAD YOU ALL DECIDED TO
00:08:36STAND UP TOGETHER AND DO SOMETHING BIG. GREAT FOR YOU.
00:08:39I WOULD ALSO SAY TO THE CANADIAN PEOPLE IT'S EASY TO SAY THAT
00:08:42UNTIL YOU ARE LIVING THE REPERCUSSIONS AND THE GOVERNMENT
00:08:45THEMSELVES ARE SAYING THEY CANNOT SUSTAIN LONG-TERM SMALLER AND MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESSES.
00:08:49IT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD ON THE FRONT END, BUT THAT REALITY IS
00:08:53THEY WOULD BE DECIMATED IN THIS FIGHT. FOR THEM TO SAY THAT -- IN THE UNITED STATES WE HAVE BEEN
00:08:57LIVING THROUGH THIS FOR A WHILE. SOME REPUBLICANS VERY STRONGLY
00:09:01DISAGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT ON TARIFFS BUT DONALD TRUMP IS TRIED AND TRUE.
00:09:05THE MAN HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT
00:09:08TARIFFS AS A MEANS FOR NEGOTIATION AND TRADE SINCE THE 1980'S.
00:09:11THIS IS NOT A SURPRISE FOR ANYBODY. I KNOW REPUBLICANS HAVE
00:09:17DISAGREEMENTS, BUT THE CANADIANS CAN SOUND BLUSTERY BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE ECONOMIC POWER OR
00:09:20GEOPOLITICAL POWER OR STRENGTH AND WILL THEMSELVES TO SEE THIS OUT FOR THE LONG RUN FOR THE
00:09:24NEXT 2.5 YEARS.
00:09:25>> IS GOING TO BACKFIRE ON THE
00:09:30REPUBLICAN PARTY. THIS IS A PRESIDENT THAT CAME TO OFFICE PROMISING A.
00:09:35-- A PERIOD OF PROSPERITY WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
00:09:39HE PROMISED ALL THESE THINGS AND WE ARE NOT GETTING ANY OF THOSE RETURNS.
00:09:42THUS A PROBLEM WITH THE TARIFF AGENDA.
00:09:44THINGS HAVEN'T GOTTEN BETTER FOR MOST AMERICANS.
00:09:48HE COULD SAY WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THINGS GREAT, BETTER, BUT
00:09:51NO ONE HAS SEEN THE TANGIBLE PROGRESS IN THE POCKETBOOK SO HE
00:09:54HAS NO CREDIBILITY AT HOME. IF ANYTHING THAT HURTS
00:09:58REPUBLICAN CHANCES TO HOLD ON THE POWER. WE TALKED ABOUT THE LONG-TERM
00:10:02ABILITY OF THE PRESIDENT TO MAKE THESE DEALS, IF YOU LOSE THIS
00:10:05CONGRESS HE IS EVEN WEAKER. HOW DOES THAT PLAY OUT?
00:10:11-- IF HE LOSES CONGRESS, HE'S EVEN WEAKER. HOW DOES THAT PLAY OUT?
00:10:14HOST: THAT WAS HOUSE REPUBLICAN
00:10:16STRATEGIST ERIN MCGUIRE AND
00:10:20REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST KURT GARDELLA DISAGREEING ON THE
00:10:24TRADE WAR WITH CANADA.
00:10:24LET'S GO TO THOSE WAITING ON THE
00:10:28PHONE LINES. IN OHIO WITH WILLIAM, HIS
00:10:32CALLING IN ON THE INDEPENDENT LINE. GOOD MORNING, YOU ARE ON WITH US.
00:10:34CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
00:10:37I HAVE A FEW THINGS TO SAY.
00:10:40THE TRADE WARS ARE CRAZY, IRAN
00:10:42IS NUTS, TRUMP IS JUST AN
00:10:48IDIOT. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING.
00:10:49HE'S CAUSING CHAOS IN THE
00:10:53AMERICAN -- THE AMERICAN PSYCHE RIGHT NOW.
00:10:55HE'S DESTROYING MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, AND I DON'T LIKE A
00:10:58NEWCOMER LIKE HIM DOING THAT.
00:11:00MY FAMILIES BEEN HERE FOR LIKE EIGHT GENERATIONS NOW, YOU KNOW.
00:11:06LET'S JUST GO TO A PUMPKIN PATCH
00:11:09AND WAIT ON LINUS, LINUS IS WAITING FOR HIM OF THE GREAT PUMPKIN PATCH.
00:11:13ALL OF THE STUFF HE BELIEVES IN
00:11:15HAS TO BE WACKY.
00:11:181980, 2020 WAS A FAIR ELECTION, THE FAIREST ONE IN AMERICAN
00:11:21HISTORY AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN IS HIS DOWNFALL.
00:11:24PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT IN THIS WORLD, AND
00:11:27ALL HE'S DOING IS SAYING HE IS NARCISSISTIC, DIRTY OLD MAN.
00:11:31IT'S TIME TO GET HIM BACK TO THE NURSING HOME WHERE HE BELONGS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:11:35HOST: THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN WILLIAM.
00:11:39JOHN FROM EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA ON THE DEMOCRATIC LINE.
00:11:42JOHN, WHAT'S YOUR TOP STORY? CALLER: WELL, THE TARIFF PROBLEM.
00:11:47OK LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU SOMETHING.
00:11:53REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS ALWAYS SOLD OUT AMERICA.
00:11:55NIXON SOLD US TO THE CHINESE.
00:12:00REAGAN CAME ALONG AND KILLED THE UNIONS. OK.
00:12:05EVERY TIME A REPUBLICAN GETS AN OFFICE INFLATION GOES UP.
00:12:10WHEN TRUMP WAS ELECTED THE
00:12:11SECOND TIME, MY AREA WENT UP
00:12:15$.20 A GALLON AND IT STILL GOING UP.
00:12:16THE WORST PART IS THAT I WAS
00:12:21GOING TO GO TO CANADA FISHING. I ALWAYS DO.
00:12:24NOW I'M AFRAID TO GO THERE BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THEY MIGHT CLOSE THE BORDER.
00:12:29IS THAT STUPID OR WHAT?
00:12:32THEY ARE THE ONLY PARTNER WE HAVE IN THE WORLD THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY RELY ON.
00:12:37OK.
00:12:40THE OTHER SUBJECT WAS -- WHEN WE
00:12:46DO SOMETHING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY,
00:12:48OK, IT SEEMS LIKE WE DON'T GAIN
00:12:54AN ADVANTAGE. WE LOSE.
00:12:56AND WE ARE GOING TO LOSE WITH
00:12:58THE DEAL HE'S PULLING WITH CANADA. IF HE WANTS HIS NAME ON A
00:13:03MONUMENT HE BETTER LOOK AT HISTORY.
00:13:05KENNEDY DID NOT PUT HIS NAME ON THAT MONUMENT. LINCOLN WAS DEAD.
00:13:09THEY WERE ALL DEAD BEFORE THEIR
00:13:11NAMES WENT UP ON THE MONUMENTS.
00:13:14LINCOLN, WASHINGTON, KENNEDY, EVERYBODY ELSE THAT HAS THEIR
00:13:17NAME ON SOMETHING WAS DEAD WHEN IT WAS PUT THERE.
00:13:20IF YOU WANT HIS NAME ON
00:13:22SOMETHING, HE SHOULD DIE AND
00:13:25GIVE US A BREAK, AND THEN WE WILL PUT HIS NAME ON SOMETHING.
00:13:27HOST: THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN.
00:13:31LET'S GO TO NAPLES, FLORIDA, LIVES CALLING IN ON THE REPUBLICAN LINE.
00:13:35WHAT IS YOUR TOP STORY OF THE WEEK?
00:13:40[INDISCERNIBLE]
00:13:42CALLER: -- SERIOUSLY DISAGREED
00:13:47WITH WHAT MR. CONNIE SAID WITH REGARD TO THE TRADE RELATION WITH THE UNITED STATES.
00:13:51I WISH WE HAD A CLIP OF ONE OF
00:13:55THOSE, BECAUSE I HEARD ONE TALK
00:13:58ABOUT IT AND IT WAS SO EGREGIOUS
00:13:59WHAT SHE WAS SAYING, HOW IT WAS AFFECTING HER PROVINCE.
00:14:04THERE WERE TWO PROVINCES, SASKATCHEWAN BUT THE OTHER NAME
00:14:07I DON'T REMEMBER AND I DON'T
00:14:11REMEMBER WHICH PROVIDENCE SHE WAS REPRESENTING, BUT IT WAS A
00:14:14HELPFUL PRESENTATION OF HOW OTHER PEOPLE IN CANADA FEEL
00:14:18ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.
00:14:22-- WITH CHINA.
00:14:29I UNDERSTAND THEY ARE PULLING
00:14:32OUT LINCOLN MANUFACTURING -- AT
00:14:37FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OF IT, THEN I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY PART OF IT.
00:14:46[INDISCERNIBLE]
00:14:49THAT PARTICULAR COMPANY IS DOING RELATIVE TO PRODUCTION IN CHINA.
00:14:52HOST: I WAS HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE HEARING YOU, BUT I WILL
00:14:56LOOK AT THE CHINA ASPECT THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAM AND I
00:14:59APPRECIATE YOU CALLING IN. ON THE CANADIAN SIDE, YOU BRING
00:15:02UP WOULD CANADIAN LEADERS ARE TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF THE
00:15:06IMPACT OF THEIR PROVINCE. I PULLED UP THIS PIECE FROM "THE
00:15:09NEW YORK TIMES" PARTNERING WITH
00:15:11THEIR CANADIAN COLLEAGUES,
00:15:13REPORTING OUT THIS TRADE WAR AND WHAT THE PERSPECTIVE IS FROM
00:15:17CANADA. I THINK THERE ARE SOME INTERESTING BULLET POINTS TO GO THROUGH.
00:15:20THEY SAY, OUR KEY FINDINGS
00:15:22COOPERATED BY BOTH SIDES OF THE NEGOTIATING TABLE, THE TRADE
00:15:26TALKS WERE POSITIVE UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT. MR. CARNEY OFFERED TO
00:15:30COLLABORATE ON THE KEYSTONE XL
00:15:32PIPELINE KIPP WHICH HE DELIGHTED MR. TRUMP. BY THE END OF THE WEEK THAT WAS
00:15:36OFF THE TABLE. HOWARD LUTNICK WAS A FACTOR IN
00:15:40DESTABILIZING THE TALKS AS HE INTERVENED REPEATEDLY, INCLUDING ON WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY OF LAST
00:15:43WEEK -- NOT THE WEEK THAT JUST ENDED -- AT THE PUSH FOR TARIFFS
00:15:47ON STEEL, AUTOS, AND AUTO PARTS
00:15:48COME ALL OF WHICH FALL UNDER HIS PURVIEW.
00:15:51THE U.S. INSISTED ON RETAINING THE FREEDOM TO CHANGE ITS TARIFF
00:15:55POLICY ON CANADA WITHOUT A DISPUTE RESOLUTION MECHANISM OR
00:15:58WARNING BUILT INTO THE NEW AGREEMENT. IT ALSO ASKED FOR CANADA TO
00:16:02NOTIFY AND COORDINATE WITH THE U.S. ON STEEL TARIFFS THAT
00:16:05CANADA ENFORCES ON OTHER TRADING PARTNERS.
00:16:08MR. CARNEY SPOKE WITH PREMIER DOUG FORD OF ONTARIO MINUTES
00:16:11BEFORE HE PULLED THE PLUG ON TALKS. MUCH HAS BEEN MADE OF THE FRENCH
00:16:15LANGUAGE ISSUE AS A DIVIDING LINE OF THE TALKS.
00:16:17OUR REPORTING SHOWS THAT THE
00:16:19U.S. SIDE DID ADVANCE A DEMAND FOR KENNEDY TO AMEND OR REPEAL
00:16:23LAWS THAT PROTECT CANADIAN CONTENT BY ASKING STREAMING
00:16:26PLATFORMS TO SURFACE AND MORE PROMINENTLY FOR CANADIAN USERS.
00:16:30THUS THE REPORTING FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES.
00:16:32REPORTERS IN THE U.S. AND THEIR TEAM IN CANADA. LET'S CONTINUE TAKING CALLS AS
00:16:36WE TALK ABOUT YOUR TOP NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK. YOU CAN GO BEYOND THIS TOPIC OR,
00:16:41IF THAT'S WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU, GIVE US YOUR THOUGHTS.
00:16:45NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS, JOE ON THE DEMOCRATIC LINE.
00:16:49JOE, WHAT YOUR TOP STORY?
00:16:50CALLER: KURT BARDELLA IS NOT A
00:16:57REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST THAT WOULDN'T WORK ON CEASEFIRE.
00:16:59HE'S A DEMOCRAT STRATEGIST. LINDSEY CLANCY SAID THAT A MALE
00:17:03VOICE TOLD HER TO KILL HER CHILD. I DON'T HOW SHE WOULD'VE KNOWN
00:17:06IT WAS A MALE VOICE. SUSAN COLLINS HAS NEVER MISSED A
00:17:10VOTE IN MAY AND PEERED AS A DEMOCRAT, HOW CAN WE BE
00:17:14PROMOTING FIRST GRAHAM PLATNER AND NOW TROY JACKSON, WHO HAS
00:17:17TWO KIDS WITH HIS COUSIN AND NO ONE MENTIONS THAT. THAT'S KIND OF SICK.
00:17:21I MEAN, WHO DOES THAT?
00:17:23WE KEEP HEARING ABOUT ALL THE SOURCES THAT WANT TO TELL US,
00:17:27YOU KNOW, WHISTLEBLOWERS, BUT WE
00:17:28DIDN'T WANT TO LISTEN TO THEM
00:17:31BIDEN.
00:17:50ANONYMOUS, WE HAVE ACTUAL PEOPLE? IN THE BORDER CLOSED COME WATCH
00:17:53THEM CLOSE IT FOR NO PROBLEM SO FOR FOUR YEARS THEY LIED AND LED
00:17:57MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS, AND OUR STATE IS GOING TO LET
00:18:00ABORTION GO UP TO NINE MONTHS, ALL THE WAY UNTIL LABOR STARTS
00:18:04IN MASSACHUSETTS. THEY JUST SIGNED A BILL AND THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT PROTECTING
00:18:08KIDS. I MEAN, NOW THEY NEED TO GET LINDSAY CLANCY AND PUT HER AWAY,
00:18:12UNLESS WE ARE GOING TO EXTEND THE ABORTION AND EIGHT MONTHS
00:18:15AND FIVE YEARS FOR HER KIDS. A MALE VOICE TOLD HER.
00:18:19HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS A MALE VOICE? THIS IS A LIE.
00:18:22WE NEED TO PROTECT CHILDREN. THANK YOU.
00:18:27HOST: YOU TOUCHED ON A LOT. I WILL DO A QUICK FACT CHECK.
00:18:30KURT, ONE OF OUR GUESTS ON CEASEFIRE THAT WE PLAYED A CLIP
00:18:33FROM, HE WAS BILLED AS A REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST BECAUSE HE
00:18:37TECHNICALLY IS, THOUGH HE HAS BEEN AGAINST PRESIDENT DONALD
00:18:41TRUMP. HE IS IN THE NEVER TRUMP WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
00:18:44HE SERVED AS A GOP CONGRESSIONAL STAFFER AND WAS A SPOKESPERSON
00:18:48FOR BREITBART NEWS COME THE CONSERVATIVE NEWS OUTLET. I WANTED TO CLARIFY.
00:18:52THAT IS WHY THERE WERE TWO REPUBLICAN STRATEGISTS BUT ON
00:18:55OPPOSING SIDES FOR THE PROGRAM. WE WILL PLAY THAT FULL EPISODE
00:18:58OF CEASEFIRE AT 10:00 AFTER TODAY'S SHOW FEAR THE LINDSAY
00:19:01CLANCY TRIAL IS GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION, ESPECIALLY IN NEW
00:19:05ENGLAND. IT'S NOT SURPRISING TO HEAR YOU MENTION THAT.
00:19:09THOMAS IN DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA ON THE INDEPENDENT LINE. GOOD MORNING, WHAT IS YOUR TOP STORY?
00:19:17ARE YOU ON WITH US, THOMAS?
00:19:23ALRIGHT, LET'S TRY ANOTHER FLORIDA CALLER. PAUL FROM WINTER GARDEN, FLORIDA
00:19:27ON THE REPUBLICAN LINE. YOU ON WITH US. CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
00:19:31THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL. I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE ABOUT
00:19:35INFLATION BECAUSE YOU HAD A CALL OR SAY THAT INFLATION GOES WAY UP EVERY TIME WE HAVE A
00:19:38REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT. WOW.
00:19:42I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE'S GETTING
00:19:44HIS FACTS, BUT I'VE GOT MY LARGEST INCREASE IN SOCIAL
00:19:49SECURITY, 8% INCREASE, BECAUSE OF JOE BIDEN. ISN'T HE A DEMOCRAT?
00:19:53LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO INFLATION.
00:19:55ALL OF THESE AMERICANS THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT CANADA AND
00:19:58WHAT WE ARE DOING TO CANADA,
00:20:01POOR CANADA, PACK YOUR BAGS AND MOVED TO CANADA IF THAT'S HOW
00:20:05YOU FEEL. YOU KNOW WHAT, THEY GOT FREE INSURANCE.
00:20:08YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR AND HAVE TO GET A HEART SURGERY,
00:20:11BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, WE WILL EUTHANIZE YOU INSTEAD IF YOU WOULD LIKE.
00:20:16SO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE TARIFFS WORK.
00:20:19IT'S HORRIBLE FOR AMERICA TO PUT
00:20:21TARIFFS ON OTHER COUNTRIES' GOODS COMING IN, BUT OTHER
00:20:24COUNTRIES DO IT TO US, AND THAT'S FINE.
00:20:27IT SHOULDN'T WORK THAT WAY.
00:20:30IF YOU WANT FREE TRADE THEN TAKE OFF ALL TARIFFS, BUT OTHERWISE
00:20:34IF OTHER COUNTRIES ARE GOING TO PUT TARIFFS ON OUR GOODS, THEIR
00:20:37GOODS, OUR GOODS GOING INTO THEIR COUNTRY, THAN VICE VERSA,
00:20:41WE SHOULD BE TERRIFING --
00:20:49TARIFFING THEIR GOODS.
00:20:51HOST: KEVIN WARSH GAVE HIS FIRST
00:20:54BIG SPEECH SINCE HE TOOK THE JOB 100 DAYS AGO.
00:20:56THERE IS A BIG ECONOMIC SYMPOSIUM THAT HAPPENED IN
00:21:00JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL HAS THIS HEADLINE.
00:21:03WORSHIP SAYS THE FED MAY NOT BE DONE FIGHTING INFLATION WITH THE
00:21:07SUB HEADLINE, WE MUST BE CONFIDENT THAT UNDERLYING INFLATION IS MOVING TO OUR
00:21:11OBJECTIVE, THE FED CHAIR SAID FRIDAY IN A HEAVILY ANTICIPATED DEBUT SPEECH.
00:21:15WE WILL PLAY A CLIP OF THAT SPEECH.
00:21:18WHAT'S NOTABLE, PREVIOUS FITTED CHAIRS HAVE USED THIS BIG EVENT
00:21:22IN JACKSON HOLE TO BASICALLY -- PREVIOUS FED CHAIRS HAVE USED
00:21:26THIS BIG EVENT IN JACKSON HOLE TO BASICALLY INDICATE IF THEY
00:21:30WOULD RAISE RATES, MORSE DID NOT DO THAT BUT HE LEFT THE DOOR OPEN WILL COMPLEMENT AND THE STRENGTH OF THE ECONOMY.
00:21:34[VIDEO CLIP]
00:21:35>> THE RECENT RISE IN COMMODITY
00:21:39PRICES ALSO BEARS WATCH. WHAT WE NEED THE JUDGE IS
00:21:42WHETHER THE TRENDS WE SEE INDICATE UPSIDE INFLATION RISKS.
00:21:47NOW, IT MATTERS TOO WHETHER THE
00:21:49INFLATION READINGS OF THE PAST FIVE YEARS HAVE SEEPED INTO EXPECTATIONS.
00:21:53THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT MEASURES
00:21:57OF INFLATION EXPECTATIONS IN THE MEDIUM-TERM BY AND LARGE LOOKS
00:22:05STABLE, AND INFLATION COMPENSATION MEASURES FROM THE SWAPS MARKET SEND A STRONG AND
00:22:09SIMILAR MESSAGE. ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF RECENT
00:22:13DEVELOPMENTS, IT'S A CREDIT TO
00:22:16THE FED AS AN INSTITUTION, CONSISTENT WITH THE BEST OF THE
00:22:19FED'S TRADITIONS, THE MARKET
00:22:23PRICES SHOW CONFIDENCE THAT WE WILL DELIVER PRICE STABILITY.
00:22:26I CAN ASSURE YOU, THEY ARE RIGHT.
00:22:31THE THING ABOUT MARKET MEASURES OF INFLATION EXPECTATIONS AND
00:22:34ECONOMIC HISTORY, I KNOW SOME ECONOMIC HISTORIANS ARE IN THE
00:22:38AUDIENCE, THEY ALL TEND TO LOOK VERY STRONG AND DURABLE UNTIL THE NOTE.
00:22:43THESE EXPECTATIONS ARE NOT PUSHED AROUND EASILY.
00:22:47RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE VERY WELL ANCHORED.
00:22:50THEY MUST BE CLOSELY MINDED. IT IS THE FED'S JOB TO MAKE SURE
00:22:54THAT INFLATION EXPECTATIONS DO
00:22:56NOT GET ON ANCHORED -- GET UN
00:23:02-ANCHORED. ONE SIGNAL NO ONE CAN MISS.
00:23:05RESPONSIBILITY FOR 65 MONTHS OF
00:23:08SUSTAINED, ELEVATED INFLATION SITS SQUARELY WITH THE CENTRAL BANK.
00:23:11AND THAT'S WHERE IT BELONGS.
00:23:13SO, HERE IS MY STANDARD. WE MUST BE CONFIDENT THAT
00:23:16UNDERLYING INFLATION IS MOVING
00:23:18TO OUR OBJECTIVE, CLEARLY AND AT
00:23:22SUFFICIENT SPEED. OTHERWISE WE HAVE WORK TO DO.
00:23:26THAT'S OUR JOB. THAT'S OUR MANDATE. THAT'S OUR CHARGE TO KEEP.
00:23:30HOST: THAT WAS THE NEW FEDERAL
00:23:34RESERVE CHAIR KEVIN WARSH SPEAKING AT -- THIS IS
00:23:37COMPLICATED -- THE KANSAS CITY FEDERAL RESERVE'S EVENT IN JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING WHERE A
00:23:41BUNCH OF TOP ECONOMISTS ARE GATHERING TO TALK ABOUT STATE OF
00:23:44THE ECONOMY. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL SAYS
00:23:47THAT TRADERS RAISE THE ODDS OF
00:23:50AN INTEREST RATE INCREASED TO
00:23:5260% FROM 35 PERCENT ON THURSDAY.
00:23:55IN THE SPEECH MORE STOP SHORT OFFERING NO HINT ABOUT THE FED'S
00:23:58NEXT MOVE IN KEEPING WITH HIS APPROACH AND HOW THE CENTRAL
00:24:02BANK SHOULD COMMUNICATE LESS. HE SAYS I STAND HERE COMMITTED
00:24:05TO A DISCIPLINE NOT A DECISION. THAT'S ANOTHER BIG STORY SURFACING THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.
00:24:09SEVERAL FOLKS WRITING IN WITH THEIR TOP STORIES. LET'S CYCLE THROUGH SOME.
00:24:13KEVIN FROM WINDSOR, CONNECTICUT
00:24:16SAYS, MY TOP NEWS STORY IS THE KENNEDY CENTER MEMORIAL.
00:24:19I HOPE AMERICA DOESN'T LET TRUMP
00:24:21DESTROY THE KENNEDY CENTER MEMORIAL. PRESIDENT KENNEDY UNITED THE
00:24:25COUNTRY, FOUGHT IN WORLD WAR II, AND SAVED AMERICA FROM A REAL
00:24:28NUCLEAR CRISIS THAT COULD HAVE ENDED IN NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION.
00:24:32THE KENNEDY FAMILY SHOWED THE BEST OF WHAT AMERICA IS MADE OF.
00:24:34I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE KENNEDY FAMILY FOR THE CAMELOT YEARS.
00:24:38KEVIN, STICK AROUND. IN THE NEXT HOUR OR IN AN HOUR
00:24:41AND A HALF WE WILL TALK TO CONGRESSWOMAN JOYCE BEATTY, THE
00:24:45OHIO DEMOCRAT, LEAVING THE LEGAL CHALLENGES AGAINST THE CHANGES
00:24:49TO THE KENNEDY CENTER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TRYING TO MAKE.
00:24:52THERE WAS A HEARING ON THURSDAY ABOUT THAT THAT JOYCE BEATTY WE
00:24:56WILL BE SPEAKING WITH HER. ALAN FROM HUNTINGTON WEST
00:24:59VIRGINIA SAYS HIS TOP STORY IS THE DEBT REACHING 40 TRILLION
00:25:03DOLLARS. HE WRITES, SIMPLE MATH SHOWS IT
00:25:05WILL TAKE BOTH SPENDING CUTS AND INCREASED TAXES TO GET UNDER
00:25:09CONTROL. BUT NOBODY IS WILLING TO PAY MORE TAXES.
00:25:12GET READY FOR HYPERINFLATION AND BECOMING A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.
00:25:17SUE FROM WHITING, NEW JERSEY SINCE HER TOP STORY IS TRADE
00:25:21WARS AND TRADE AGREEMENTS. WE MAKE THESE TRADE AGREEMENTS, DON'T WE?
00:25:25WE ARE AT THE BARGAINING TABLE. SO WHY ARE WE NOT HAPPY WITH THE
00:25:29END RESULT? I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR HIGH TARIFFS.
00:25:32WHY DON'T WE MAKE BETTER DEALS IN THE FIRST PLACE?
00:25:34YOU CAN WRITE IN ON FACEBOOK OR
00:25:37X OR YOU CAN TEXT US AT (202) 748-8003 OR YOU CAN CALL.
00:25:41THERE HAVE BEEN PATIENT CALLERS ON THE LINE.
00:25:44TIM IS CALLING IN ON THE DEMOCRATIC LINE FROM ALABAMA.
00:25:47HEY THERE, TIM. HAPPY START COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON.
00:25:51WHAT YOUR TOP STORY? CALLER: THERE ARE TWO. THE ONE I WOULD LIKE TO TALK
00:25:55ABOUT, THE KENNEDY CENTER, JOHN
00:25:58F. KENNEDY WAS A WAR HERO.
00:26:03IF THEY GO BACK AND LOOK AT
00:26:05HISTORY, YOU SEE PT ONE 09. HE WAS A WAR HERO IN WORLD WAR
00:26:10II. PLUS, HIS FATHER, JOSEPH F
00:26:15KENNEDY, HE WAS A WAR HERO TOO.
00:26:19HE SERVED ON A TOP-SECRET MISSION IN 1943.
00:26:24SO THE FAMILY HAS A HISTORY OF SERVING THE COUNTRY.
00:26:29UNLIKE DONALD FMR. PRES. TRUMP:
00:26:33-- UNLIKE DONALD F TRUMP WITH
00:26:39THE FALSE CLAIMS OF A HEEL SPUR. HE CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH FOOT IT
00:26:42WAS ON, BY THE WAY. THE OTHER THING THAT I WOULD
00:26:44LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IS THE
00:26:48REPUBLICANS TALKING ABOUT SOCIALISM AND USING THE TERM COMMUNISM.
00:26:56WELL, WHAT WITH THE PEOPLE OF
00:26:59THIS COUNTRY PREFER?
00:27:01MASKED MEN GOING AROUND TERRORIZING, LOCKING UP,
00:27:05SHOOTING, AND ARRESTING AMERICAN
00:27:07CITIZENS?
00:27:09THAT'S NOT SOCIALISM. THAT'S COMMUNISM.
00:27:14THAT COMES FROM THE DAYS OF
00:27:16HITLER."
00:27:19ALSO BUILDING THE TENSION CENTERS WHICH ARE ACTUALLY
00:27:22ANALOGOUS TO CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
00:27:25IF THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT
00:27:28COMMUNISM OR SOCIALISM, LOOK AT WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE
00:27:31SUPPORTING AND TAKING AWAY THE
00:27:33VOTING RIGHTS OF OUR CITIZENS.
00:27:38I THINK DEMOCRATS SHOULD POINT THOSE THINGS OUT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:27:42HOST: THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU CALLING IN.
00:27:45YOU TALKED ABOUT THE KENNEDY CENTER. AGAIN, WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT
00:27:50LATER WHEN WE INTERVIEW CONGRESSWOMAN BEATTY, BUT A
00:27:53HEADLINE FROM ABC IS THAT THE DOJ SAYS NO ACTION TO ADD
00:27:57TRUMP'S NAME TO THE KENNEDY
00:27:59CENTER BEFORE OCTOBER. THEY WRITE THE JUSTICE
00:28:01DEPARTMENT NOTIFIED A FEDERAL JUDGE THURSDAY NIGHT THAT THE KENNEDY CENTER WILL DELAY
00:28:05IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BOARDS RESOLUTION HONORING PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR MORE THAN A MONTH.
00:28:10IN A FILING LATE THURSDAY THE DOJ SAID THE EFFORT TO ADD
00:28:13TRUMP'S NAME TO THE FACADE AND PLAZA, WHERE THE CENTER SINCE,
00:28:17WILL NOT BE EFFECTUATED BEFORE OCTOBER 8. THE ADMINISTRATION'S FILING
00:28:20FOLLOWED A TO OUR HEARING ON THURSDAY DURING WHICH A U.S.
00:28:24DISTRICT JUDGE, CHRISTOPHER COOPER, URGED THE CENTER TO DELAY PLANS TO GIVE HIM MORE
00:28:28TIME TO CONSIDER HIS DECISION.
00:28:30THAT STORY IS GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION IN D.C. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON
00:28:34THURSDAY OUTSIDE THE KENNEDY CENTER COVERING THINGS AS THE
00:28:37COURT HEARING PLAYED OUT. I MET A WOMAN WHO WAS PROTESTING
00:28:40WHO SHOWED UP EVERY DAY SINCE APRIL BECAUSE SHE WORKED AT THE
00:28:43KENNEDY CENTER DECADES AGO. SHE SAID THAT SHE FELT VERY
00:28:46STRONGLY ABOUT THIS CAUSE. IT IS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE
00:28:50LOCALLY ARE TALKING ABOUT. LET'S GO TO DICKINSON, NORTH
00:28:53DAKOTA, JOHN IS CALLING IN FROM THE INDEPENDENT LINE. JOHN, WHAT'S YOUR TOP STORY?
00:28:59CALLER: GOOD MORNING, SIR.
00:29:05I WAS JUST TUNING IN. I THINK MY TOP NEWS STORY IS
00:29:09THIS TRADE WAR BETWEEN THE
00:29:13UNITED STATES AND CANADA.
00:29:14SEE, WE ARE A BORDER STATE.
00:29:18WE USED TO GET TONS OF PEOPLE IN
00:29:20HERE FROM CANADA TO BUY OUR
00:29:26PRODUCTS. THEY ARE NOT COMING DOWN HERE
00:29:30ANYMORE.
00:29:31THEY SPEND THEIR MONEY UP THERE.
00:29:34AS A RESULT WE ARE LOSING
00:29:39HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR.
00:29:42I MYSELF USED TO GO TO CANADA --
00:29:56AND VACATION.
00:30:01LIKE THE PREVIOUS CALLER SAID, I'M SCARED TO GO UP THERE
00:30:03ANYMORE ACROSS THE BORDER.
00:30:07LIKE I SAID, THEY DO NOT LIKE US.
00:30:10THEY DON'T LIKE US UP THERE, APPARENTLY.
00:30:14THEY'RE NOT COMING DOWN HERE, SO IT'S A BAD DEAL.
00:30:24ALL THE TRUMP GUYS, MANHATTAN,
00:30:33I'VE NOTICED PEOPLE WHO HANG OUT
00:30:33AROUND HIM, HE SEEMS TO ME THEY
00:30:39EITHER END UP BROKE, IMPRISONED,
00:30:42OR DEAD.
00:30:47TAKE THAT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. THANKS FOR LISTENING TO ME.
00:30:50HOST: INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE FROM A BORDER STATE AS THE TRADE
00:30:54WERE PLAYS OUT. LET'S GO NOT FAR FROM NORTH
00:30:58DAKOTA TO ILLINOIS. SCOTT IS CALLING IN FROM EFFINGHAM ON THE REPUBLICAN
00:31:02LINE. WHAT'S YOUR TOP STORY OF THE WEEK?
00:31:04CALLER: GOOD MORNING AMERICA AND FELLOW PATRIOTS.
00:31:09I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY A LITTLE BIT.
00:31:11I THINK I GOT A LITTLE FIX AND I
00:31:16WISH ALL RECIPIENTS OF SOCIAL SECURITY WOULD CONTACT THEIR CONGRESSMAN OR WHATEVER AND TALK TO HIM ABOUT MY THEORY.
00:31:22WHEN WE PAY SOCIAL SECURITY, WE WORKED OUR WHOLE LIFE.
00:31:25I'M AN OLD VIETNAM VETERAN.
00:31:27WE MADE 4, 5, SEVEN BUCKS AN
00:31:30HOUR AND PAID $25 A WEEK AND SOCIAL SECURITY.
00:31:34THE KIDS ARE TODAY ARE $18, $20 AN HOUR.
00:31:38I TALKED TO A LOT OF THEM AND THEY PAY MORE. THAT'S FINE.
00:31:41WHAT I'M SAYING IS, THE ELDERLY
00:31:45PEOPLE -- I TALKED TO A LOT OF ELDERLY PEOPLE, MY AGE,
00:31:49WHATEVER.
00:31:50WE ARE ALL GETTING 700 $50, 900 DOLLARS A MONTH.
00:31:54I DIDN'T SIT AT A DESK FOR 40 YEARS AND GET 300 POUNDS, AND
00:31:59MAKE 48,000 A MONTH. IT'S SIMPLE MATH.
00:32:02WHEN THE FIGURE OUT ALL THE
00:32:05RECIPIENTS OF SOCIAL SECURITY AND IF THEY ARE GOING TO RAISE
00:32:08THE COST OF LIVING INCREASE, SAY
00:32:102.5% LIKE LAST YEAR, THE GUY AT
00:32:133800 DOESN'T NEED 2.5 PERCENT.
00:32:16IT'S THE LOWER INDIVIDUALS. IF THEY DO SIMPLE MATH AND THEY
00:32:19FIGURE OUT THE GROWTH AND THEN
00:32:21MAYBE HAVE A CUT OFF POINT AT
00:32:252500 OR 2700. IT MEANS I'M NOT GETTING A
00:32:28RAISE, BUT IF YOU HELP WITH THE ELDERLY PEOPLE, MOSTLY WOMEN
00:32:31BECAUSE THE HUSBANDS ARE DEAD -- I TALKED TO THEM IN THE MARKET.
00:32:35THEY ARE MAKING $700, 800 DOLLARS. IT'S HARD FOR US.
00:32:40SAY IT GOES UP TO 3%.
00:32:41IF THEY GIVE US 6% AND GIVE THE
00:32:45CUT OFF AT 2500 1%, THEY ARE
00:32:52STILL GETTING SOMETHING BUT THEY HELP OUT THE ELDERLY. IF THERE IS EXTRA THEY CAN PUT
00:32:55IT INTO THE ACCOUNT FOR FUTURE SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS.
00:33:00IT IS JUST SIMPLE MATH. PLEASE, AMERICA.
00:33:03TALK TO YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET THAT ON THE DOCKET.
00:33:07IS JUST SIMPLE MATH. THANK YOU SO MUCH --
00:33:09HOST: I WANT TO ASK A FOLLOW-UP
00:33:13QUESTION BECAUSE MPR HAS THIS STORY OUT YESTERDAY WITH THE HEADLINE THE SOCIAL SECURITY
00:33:17TRUST FUND IS RUNNING OUT YET IT'S NOT A TOP CAMPAIGN ISSUE.
00:33:20THEY WRITE THE CONGRESS HAS ABOUT SIX YEARS TO SHORE UP THE
00:33:24SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND WHICH IS EXPECTED TO RUN OUT OF
00:33:26RESERVES BY THE END OF 2032.
00:33:29ENACTING A SOLUTION IS LIABLE TO
00:33:30BE A POLITICAL BATTLE LIKELY
00:33:34CUTTING BENEFITS FOR SOME AMERICANS AND RAISING TAXES ON HIGHER EARNERS OR BOTH.
00:33:38SO FAR CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS HAVEN'T MADE IT A TOP-TIER ISSUE.
00:33:42ELIZABETH WARREN AND BERNIE MORENO PROPOSED RAISING THE
00:33:45PAYROLL TAX FOR SOME AMERICANS. REVENUE FROM THE TAX GOES INTO
00:33:48THE TRUST FUND, BUT THE BIPARTISAN EFFORT WAS IMMEDIATELY PANNED BY
00:33:51CONSERVATIVE GROUPS AND LITTLE ELSE HAS EMERGED AS A SERIOUS
00:33:55SOLUTION. SCOTT, I'M CURIOUS IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT SOLUTION FROM
00:33:58THE SENATORS AT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS BIPARTISAN.
00:34:02CALLER: IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THEY
00:34:06JUST WANT TO TAX MORE AND TAKE MORE OUT OF THE WORKING CLASS RIGHT NOW.
00:34:10WHETHER IT'S GOING TO BE SOLVENT
00:34:13-- I TALK TO 25-YEAR-OLD KIDS.
00:34:16ARE THEY GOING TO BE SOLVENT AND 65?
00:34:19I THINK THEY WILL RAISE IT TO 70
00:34:21BECAUSE WE ARE LIVING LONGER --
00:34:23EVEN THOUGH I HAVE MEDICAL PROBLEMS.
00:34:26THE OLD VIETNAM CRAP IS GETTING ME.
00:34:30THERE WILL BE FIXES, BUT GOING BACK TO WHAT I SAID, MAYBE A
00:34:33PERSON AT 3800 -- I DON'T KNOW THE MAXIMUM.
00:34:37I DON'T KNOW. THEY DON'T NEED THAT. IF THEY HAD SAVED -- WE WERE
00:34:41TAUGHT TO SAVE AS YOUNG CHILDREN.
00:34:43WE HAD SAVINGS ACCOUNTS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE TEACHER WOULD CHECK YOUR
00:34:47BOOK. IF YOU WERE A QUARTER HEAD YOU GOT A GOLD STAR AND IT FELT GOOD.
00:34:55IF YOU SPEND MONEY YOU DIDN'T GET A GOLD STAR. I BETTER SAVE MONEY.
00:34:58THAT'S HOW WE WERE TAUGHT. I HAVE FIVE GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN
00:35:01AND I DON'T HEAR THEIR MOTHER TALKING TO THEM TO SAVE.
00:35:06ONE WENT TO ILLINOIS AND WE GAVE HIM $500 FOR HIS COLLEGE.
00:35:11THAT'S GOOD, WE DON'T MIND HELPING PEOPLE OUT. IT COMES DOWN TO THE MAP.
00:35:16-- THE MATH.
00:35:19I SAID THIS FOR YEARS AGO AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING SINCE.
00:35:27YOU CAN CALL YOUR SENATORS ON THE PHONE, YOU CAN VISIT THEM,
00:35:31SAY, THIS IS SIMPLE MATH. MAYBE THIS GUY HAS AN IDEA.
00:35:39MAYBE IT'S MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WERE THOUSAND, I DON'T CARE.
00:35:44JUST PUT A POSITIVE INTO THE TRUST FUND FOR THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.
00:35:47HOST: THANKS FOR THE DIALOGUE.
00:35:50THE TICKER IS TAKING FOR SOCIAL
00:35:55SECURITY SET TO RUN OUT OF RESERVES BY 2032. IT'S INTERESTING HOW YOU BROUGHT
00:35:59IT UP AND IS NOT TALKED ABOUT A
00:36:01LOT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. ANOTHER STORY THAT EMERGED LAST
00:36:05NIGHT IN CASE YOU MISSED IT WAS THE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM PRESIDENT
00:36:07TRUMP ABOUT AN APPARENT DEAL STRUCK BETWEEN THE U.S. IN VENEZUELA HAVING TO DO WITH OIL
00:36:12RESERVES. WE WILL PUT UP THIS TRUTH SOCIAL POST OF THE PRESIDENT PUT OUT
00:36:16LAST NIGHT. HE SAID BREAKING NEWS, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS
00:36:19ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTRY OF VENEZUELA.
00:36:22THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY.
00:36:25AT MY DIRECTION, MARCO RUBIO,
00:36:29WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE HIGHLY RESPECTED INTERIM PRESIDENT OF
00:36:32VENEZUELA, AND THROUGH PARTNERSHIP WITH PRIVATE
00:36:35BUSINESS, HAVE SECURED MAJORITY U.S. CONTROL OF MORE THAN 65
00:36:40BILLION BARRELS OF PROVEN OIL RESERVES IN VENEZUELA AT NO COST
00:36:43TO THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER. THE PRESIDENT WRITES, THIS
00:36:47HISTORIC TRANSACTION MORE THAN DOUBLES AMERICAN OIL RESERVES,
00:36:50GREATLY INCREASES OUR OIL SUPPLY, AND WILL SUBSTANTIALLY
00:36:53LOWER GAS PRICES FOR ALL AMERICANS LONG INTO THE FUTURE WHILE HELPING TO CONTINUE THIS
00:36:57AT VENEZUELA ON A COURSE TOWARDS TREMENDOUS SUCCESS AND PROSPERITY.
00:37:01HE SAYS THE TRANSACTION WILL GREATLY STRENGTHEN THE ALREADY
00:37:05GROWING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VENEZUELA AND THE U.S. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO
00:37:08THIS GROUNDBREAKING MATTER. THAT NEWS COMING OUT LAST NIGHT.
00:37:11A LOT OF QUESTIONS SWIRLING ABOUT THE TIMETABLE FOR THIS
00:37:14POTENTIAL AGREEMENT. BUT'S INTERIM PRESIDENT DID RELEASE A STATEMENT PROMOTING IT
00:37:18AND CHEERING IT ON, SAYING IT WAS SOMETHING GOOD.
00:37:22SHE'S BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SINCE
00:37:25HER FORMER BOSS, THE VENEZUELAN LEADER OF NICOLAS MADURO, WAS
00:37:28CAPTURED AND PUT INTO PRISON BY THE UNITED STATES EARLIER THIS YEAR.
00:37:32THERE ARE QUESTIONS OVER THE TIMETABLE, BECAUSE THIS COULD
00:37:36POTENTIALLY TAKE YEARS TO GET INTO PLACE.
00:37:37IT MIGHT NOT TRIGGER IMMEDIATE
00:37:40GAS PRICE RELIEF AND WE
00:37:43ARE HITTING THE SIX MONTH MARK
00:37:45BETWEEN THE U.S.-IRAN WAR AND
00:37:48GAS PRICES REMAIN OVER $1 FROM
00:37:52WHEN THE WAR STARTED. THE PRESIDENT MAKING THE ANNOUNCEMENT LAST NIGHT PEER
00:37:55THIS CONTINUE TAKING CALLS. DELAWARE NOW, CHRIS ON THE
00:37:59DEMOCRATIC LINE. CHRIS, WHAT'S YOUR TOP STORY?
00:38:01CALLER: TALKING ABOUT THE
00:38:03KENNEDY CENTER AND VOTING.
00:38:06HOST: GIVE US YOUR THOUGHTS.
00:38:09CALLER: YEAH, KENNEDY WAS A WAR
00:38:14HERO.
00:38:18ALL PRESIDENTS WHO HAVE NAME
00:38:22SOME PLACES, THEY ALL DEAD.
00:38:26I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS MAN.
00:38:27I THINK HIS MENTALLY IS TAKING
00:38:31WORSER NOW.
00:38:35HE SAID HIS FATHER WAS GETTING BAD AND HE WAS GETTING IT TO
00:38:38NOW, AND YOU CAN TELL HE'S GETTING SOMETHING, BECAUSE I'VE
00:38:41NEVER SEEN A PRESIDENT THAT WANTED TO PUT HIS NAME ON EVERYTHING.
00:38:46AND HE IS THE WORST PRESIDENT THAT I'VE EVER SEEN IN THERE.
00:38:49AND ALL LIKE 2024 WHEN HE WON
00:38:56THE ELECTION EVERYTHING WAS ALL RIGHT.
00:38:57NOW IN THE HOLE NOW AND NOBODY
00:39:01AIN'T GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM. NOW HE GOT TROUBLE WITH THE
00:39:05VOTING AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
00:39:06WHEN HE WAS WINNING IT WAS GOOD
00:39:10BUT WHEN HE'S LOSING EVERYTHING IS WRONG. HE'S THE ONLY PRESIDENT THAT'S
00:39:14BEEN IN THERE THAT ALWAYS COME
00:39:16UP WITH VOTING, THERE'S
00:39:21SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VOTING.
00:39:24GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE FROM
00:39:25JERSEY SAID HE KNOWED HE --
00:39:33BIDEN IN 2020.
00:39:37HE TOLD THEM IN THERE WHEN HE
00:39:38WAS WITH HIM IN OFFICE.
00:39:42WE LOST.
00:39:45SINCE HE TOLD HIM THAT SOMETHING NEVER SPOKE TO HIM AGAIN.
00:39:47HE JUST KEPT SAYING THAT HE
00:39:53LOST, THAT THEY WON.
00:39:54AND HE KNOW HE AIN'T NEVER WON
00:40:00SOMETHING, HE LOST. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH
00:40:02HIM SO HE CAN GO AHEAD AND
00:40:06GET THEM INTO MEDICINE AND STUFF.
00:40:10HOST: A GUIDE IN OKLAHOMA
00:40:13WRITES, "CANADA MAKES $60 BILLION OF THE UNITED STATES EVERY YEAR.
00:40:18DEMOCRATS ARE MAD THAT TRUMP
00:40:20ONCE FAIR TRADE? -- WANTS FAIR
00:40:25TRADE?" WESTBERRY, NEW YORK.
00:40:30ROBERT ON THE PHONE FOR THE INDEPENDENT LINE.
00:40:32CALLER: SO NICE TO TALK TO YOU THIS MORNING.
00:40:36THE LAST GUY CALLING IN HAS NO
00:40:38CLUE WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. YOU CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT
00:40:42HE WAS SAYING. SAYING THE MOST RIDICULOUS THINGS EVER.
00:40:46TRUMP IS ONE OF THE BEST PRESIDENTS WE'VE HAD IN UNITED STATES HISTORY.
00:40:49DONALD J. TRUMP STRUCK A DEAL WITH VENEZUELA.
00:40:53THAT IS UNPRECEDENTED.
00:40:56WE ARE GOING TO BENEFIT BILLIONS OF BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL.
00:41:02DONALD TRUMP IS THE BEST PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD IN THE HISTORY OF THIS UNITED STATES.
00:41:06HE'S A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN RONALD REAGAN.
00:41:10BUT HE HAS DONE TO AMERICA --
00:41:12DID YOU SEE HIM THE OTHER DAY HANDING OUT THE MEDAL OF HONOR TO ALL THOSE TRAVELERS?
00:41:17HE DOES NOT STOP. HE'S FIGHTING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
00:41:22A MAN WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS DOES NOT HAVE TO DO THIS.
00:41:25YOU SHOULD BE OUT ON THE GOLF COURSE ALL DAY. HE HAPPENS TO BE THE BEST
00:41:29PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
00:41:33I MET HIM IN HIS OFFICE IN NEW
00:41:34YORK CITY FOR A FRIEND ON A
00:41:38SPECIAL DEAL WE WERE DOING WHEN "THE APPRENTICE" WAS NUMBER ONE.
00:41:43HE WAS ALL BUSINESS.
00:41:46THAT IS WHAT THE UNITED STATES NEEDS, A BUSINESSMAN.
00:41:50THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE
00:41:51SOCIAL SECURITY SITUATION WHERE
00:41:55WE SHOULD TURN AROUND AND LET THAT MONEY BE PUT INTO THE STOCK MARKET.
00:41:58THE S&P 500, WHICH UNDER DONALD
00:42:05J. TRUMP'S HISTORY HAS A RECORD.
00:42:12MOST PEOPLE HAVE A 401(K) AND A RETIREMENT PLAN IN THEIR BUSINESSES THEY WORK AT OR THE
00:42:16COMPANY THEY WORK AT. THE EVENT OF RETURN IS INCREDIBLE.
00:42:21DONALD TRUMP WILL GO DOWN ONE DAY -- THE LIBERALS HATE HIM.
00:42:26THEY LOVE DOLLY PARTON NOW BECAUSE SHE WAS PRO-GENDER AT ALL THIS NONSENSE.
00:42:30DONALD TRUMP WILL BE THE NUMBER ONE PRESIDENT IN HISTORY AND HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
00:42:34HOST: CAN I ASK YOU A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION?
00:42:38MAYBE NOT. THAT'S ALL GOOD.
00:42:43FOR DETAILS ABOUT THE VENEZUELA DEAL I PULLED UP THIS ASSOCIATED PRESS ARTICLE TO GO THROUGH THAT.
00:42:47THE DETAILS ARE PRETTY EARLY ON.
00:42:51DELCY RODRIGUEZ, HER GOVERNMENT
00:42:54SAYS THE DEAL INVOLVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF 17 FIELDS WITH A
00:42:58PROVEN POTENTIAL OF 65 BILLION BARRELS.
00:43:01THE AGREEMENT COULD DRAW $100 BILLION IN INVESTMENT INTO
00:43:04VENEZUELA'S OIL INDUSTRY AND
00:43:07YIELD $209 BILLION IN TAXES FOR CARACAS.
00:43:11SHE PREDICTED TO DO BUT HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON OUR NATION'S SURVIVAL.
00:43:16IT ALLOWS FOR THE U.S. TO PARTNER WITH AN UNNAMED PRIVATE
00:43:19OPERATOR IN VENEZUELA TO CREATE A NEW PRIVATE COMPANY TO TAKE HOLD OF THE RESERVES.
00:43:26THE OFFICIAL ADDED RODRIGUEZ
00:43:30GRANTED THE COMPANY 100-YEAR RIGHTS TO DEVELOP THE OIL
00:43:34FIELDS.
00:43:36THE SECRETARY STATE MARCO RUBIO, HE'S BEEN CLOSELY INVOLVED IN
00:43:40THESE TALKS WITH VENEZUELA WITH DELCY RODRIGUEZ AS SHE'S BEEN
00:43:43TRYING TO PROVE HERSELF SINCE HER FORMER BOSS NICOLAS MADURO WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
00:43:48INTERESTING STORY WE WILL BE LEARNING MORE ABOUT.
00:43:51LET'S GO TO TAMPA, FLORIDA. MIKE ON THE REPUBLICAN LINE.
00:43:54WHAT IS YOUR TOP STORY?
00:44:00CALLER: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAVE A FEW THINGS I WANT TO WEIGH IN ON.
00:44:04THE DEMOCRAT CALLER THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT WAR HEROES AND
00:44:07HELL TRUMP NEVER SERVED, I DON'T RECALL BIDEN NEVER SERVING.
00:44:12HE DEFERRED SIX TIMES. OBAMA NEVER SERVED.
00:44:16HE WAS GETTING HIGH AT 18-YEAR-OLD HIGH SCHOOL. CLINTON NEVER SERVED EITHER.
00:44:22IF WE ARE GOING TO PREPARE -- COMPARE APPLES TO ORANGES, THERE
00:44:26WE GO.
00:44:28AS FAR AS VENEZUELA, THAT IT 65
00:44:34BARRELS -- 65 BILLION BARRELS OF
00:44:36OIL IS GOING TO CRUSH CANADA.
00:44:41THAT IS THE SAME TYPE OF OIL REFINERIES USE.
00:44:45CANADA THINKS THEY ARE GOING TO
00:44:49CRUSH US ECONOMICALLY.
00:44:51THEIR PIPELINES GO INTO AMERICA AND THEN BACK UP INTO THEIR COUNTRY.
00:44:55THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A PIPE WHEN THEY GOES EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
00:45:00I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE ALWAYS
00:45:03GET THE CANADIAN NEWS WHEN -- I
00:45:07KNOW WHY. IT IS TRYING TO SMEAR TRUMP, THE
00:45:12REPUBLICANS. THIS IS TO PUSH THE MIDTERMS.
00:45:16IF YOU LOOK AT CARNEY'S CABINET,
00:45:19THERE A DEMOCRAT IN THERE WHO WAS WITH THE HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN.
00:45:26WE ARE GOING TO RENAME LAKES AND
00:45:30THINGS LIKE THAT.
00:45:31I REMEMBER DEMOCRATS RENAMED
00:45:35MONUMENT, TORE DOWN STATUES, AND
00:45:39OBAMA RENAMED MOUNT MCKINLEY. DIDN'T HE?
00:45:44TO DENALI.
00:45:46NOBODY PULLED THEIR HAIR OUT AND WENT CRAZY FOR THAT.
00:45:52I REALLY CALLING ABOUT THE
00:45:54BRAND-NEW DREDGE STRAIGHT
00:45:57CREATED ALONG THE COAST BY THE MILITARY.
00:46:02THE ONE THAT EVERYBODY THINKS
00:46:06THERE IS NO FOOD OR TAMP BONDS
00:46:07ON THE BOAT -- TAMPONS ON THE
00:46:14BOAT. IT IS OVER THE HORIZON.
00:46:21THE DOOM OF EVERYTHING -- IF YOU
00:46:29LISTEN TO CNN AND APPARENTLY C-SPAN, YOU WILL GET THE
00:46:32DEMOCRAT AGENDA. ANTI-TRUMP.
00:46:36PRETTY MUCH ANTI-AMERICA.
00:46:39HOST: COULD I POLITELY INTERJECT?
00:46:43WE PLAYED PETER NAVARRO, THE TRADE ADVISOR, WHO WAS ON THIS PROGRAM ON WEDNESDAY DEFENDING
00:46:47AND TALKING ABOUT THE U.S.'S APPROACH TO CANADA.
00:46:51I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY WE ARE NOT AIRING BOTH SIDES WHEN IT COMES TO THE TRADE WAR.
00:46:57CALLER: OK. FAIR ENOUGH.
00:47:01BUT HE WAS ALSO GRILLED INCESSANTLY ON THAT.
00:47:08YOU BROUGHT UP THE FRENCH LANGUAGE. THAT WAS BROUGHT UP BY THEM.
00:47:13WE WANTED A DEAL. TRUMP WAS GOING TO SIGN A DEAL BUT MARK CARNEY WANTED THIS FOR
00:47:16ELECTION PURPOSES. HI FOLLOW CANADIAN POLITICS AS WELL.
00:47:21DURING THE TRUCKER CONVOY, THEY
00:47:25BASICALLY FROZE ACCOUNTS WITH NO JUDICIAL PROCESS.
00:47:29I HAVE ONE MORE COMMENT BEFORE I GET CUT OFF.
00:47:32I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU GUYS DID
00:47:34NOT BRING UP THE ONES THAT WERE
00:47:39KILLED IN KABUL DURING THE AFGHAN SURRENDER THIS WEEK.
00:47:41HOST: THAT'S A BIG ANNIVERSARY
00:47:46THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WAS MARKING.
00:47:50HONESTLY I HAVE NOT WATCHED EVERY HOUR OF THE PROGRAM THROUGHOUT THE WEEK SO I CANNOT
00:47:53SAY FOR SURE IT WAS BROUGHT UP BEFORE OR AFTER THEN.
00:47:57I SAW THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT --
00:48:00THE DEPARTMENT OF WORK RELEASED
00:48:01A BUNCH OF -- WAR.
00:48:06THEY TALKED ABOUT HIS PERSONAL
00:48:09EXPERIENCE GOING THROUGH IT AND REACTING TO IT.
00:48:14THE PRESIDENT POSTED AN IMAGE FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL WHEN HE
00:48:18MET WITH THOSE FAMILIES DURING THE SUMMER OF 2024.
00:48:20WITH THE WAR IN IRAN, 18 SERVICE
00:48:24MEMBERS KILLED SO FAR.
00:48:25IT IS IMPORTANT TO TOUCH ON.
00:48:30SIX-MONTH MARK OF THE WAR
00:48:36AFTER THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL. I DID DO A LITTLE FACT CHECKING.
00:48:40YOU ARE CORRECT THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA CHANGE THE FEDERAL NAME OF
00:48:42MOUNT MCKINLEY TO DENALI IN AUGUST OF 2015.
00:48:47YOU ARE CORRECT THAT JOE BIDEN
00:48:49RECEIVED USA TODAY SAYS FIVE
00:48:51STUDENT DRAFT DEFERMENTS IN A
00:48:54MEDICAL CLASSIFICATION THAT KEPT HIM OUT OF THE MILITARY DURING THE VIETNAM WAR.
00:48:57ON THE TOPIC OF GAS PRICES AND
00:49:00WHETHER OR NOT THE VENEZUELA DEAL WILL IMPACT THINGS IN THE
00:49:02IMMEDIATE TERM, THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN BECAUSE WE JUST LEARNED ABOUT THE DEAL.
00:49:07AAA HAS THE NATIONAL AVERAGE AT $4.08 A GALLON.
00:49:11IF YOU COMPARE THAT TO A MONTH AGO, IT WAS $4.09.
00:49:16A YEAR AGO, IT WAS $3.20.
00:49:21GAS IS A DOLLAR MORE EXPENSIVE NOW THAN WHEN THE WAR STARTED ON FEBRUARY 28.
00:49:26A COUPLE MORE CALLERS. LORETTA FROM NORTH MIAMI BEACH
00:49:30FLORIDA ON THE DEMOCRATIC LINE. YOU ARE ON.
00:49:33CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
00:49:35HOST: WHAT IS YOUR TOP STORY?
00:49:39CALLER: MY CONCERN IS ABOUT
00:49:45DONALD TRUMP'S EFFORTS TO INTERFERE WITH PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO
00:49:49VOTE.
00:49:54HE SENDS AN MAIL-IN BALLOTS.
00:49:56IN ADDITION TO THAT, HE SHOULD
00:49:58NOT EVEN BE INVOLVED WITH THE
00:50:01STATES RIGHTS OF VOTING.
00:50:05AS A PERSON WHO HAS COMMITTED
00:50:08CRIMES THEMSELVES, WE ALL KNOW
00:50:14HE CONTESTED GEORGIA.
00:50:17ALL WE NEED IS 11,800 VOTES.
00:50:19WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OTHER
00:50:25SECRETARIES HE CONTACTED
00:50:30REGARDING THEM GIVING HIM EXTRA VOTES IN ORDER TO WIN.
00:50:34HE NEEDS TO STOP THAT.
00:50:35IN ADDITION TO THAT, OUR
00:50:40REPUBLICAN PARTY IN CONGRESS AND THE SENATE, AS WELL AS THE
00:50:44SUPREME COURT NEED TO DO THEIR
00:50:46JOBS AND STOP ENDORSING THINGS
00:50:51THEY KNOW THAT IS CONTRARY TO
00:50:52WHAT IS RIGHT I THINK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
00:50:56HOST: YOU BRING UP THE MAIL AND
00:51:00VOTING PIECE AND STORYLINE THAT'S BEEN PLAYING OUT.
00:51:04AN ARTICLE FROM CBS NEWS. A FEDERAL JUDGE ON THURSDAY
00:51:06TEMPORARILY BLOCKED THE POSTAL
00:51:09SERVICE FROM ENFORCING ITS NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR MAIL-IN VOTING FOR THE NOVEMBER MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
00:51:13THE JUDGE'S ORDER IS THE LATEST
00:51:17OF ELEMENTS TO TIGHTEN THE RULES
00:51:20HEAD OF THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS. THE SUPREME COURT HALTED A
00:51:23DECISION IN A DIFFERENT CASE THAT BLOCKED THE ADMINISTRATION
00:51:27FROM IMPLEMENT AN PROVISIONS OF AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT AIMS TO
00:51:29RESTRICT MAIL-IN VOTING.
00:51:33THE PRESIDENT WAS TO MAKE THESE DRAMATIC CHANGES TO HOW MAIL-IN
00:51:36BALLOTS ARE ALLOWED.
00:51:41THE PRESIDENT BOTH BY MAIL HIMSELF. HE HAS MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
00:51:45HE INSISTS THERE SHOULD BE LESS OPPORTUNITY FOR IT.
00:51:49HE PUT HIS ALLEGATIONS THAT ARE SIMPLY NOT THERE ABOUT VOTER FRAUD RELATED TO MAIL-IN BALLOTS.
00:51:54THIS CONTINUES TO PLAY OUT IN THE COURTS.
00:51:56AT THE DUKE STORY. -- THIS IS
00:52:02A BIG STORY. VOLKER, YOU ARE ON WITH US.
00:52:05CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
00:52:08THIS MORNING I SAW ON THE NEWS
00:52:13THERE WAS A PROFESSOR FROM HONG KONG.
00:52:16HE TALKED ABOUT THE DISASTER IN
00:52:21NEPAL.
00:52:26CONNECTED IT WITH OUR CARBON DIOXIDE PRODUCTION.
00:52:33AND HE POINTED OUT IN THAT
00:52:36CONNECTION THE GREAT DEAL OF VENEZUELA.
00:52:41CHEAP OIL AND QUICK MONEY.
00:52:46THAT IS CONCERNING, THE THOUGHT
00:52:52WE HAVE AN IMPACT ON OUR
00:52:56ENVIRONMENT AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS.
00:53:00IT IS NOT A PART OF OUR POLITICS.
00:53:03TALKING ABOUT OUR KIDS AND WHATEVER, THAT JUST STRUCK ME
00:53:07THIS MORNING. YEAH.
00:53:10I HAD TO GET THAT OUT IN THE AIR.
00:53:12HOST: THANK YOU FOR RAISING THAT HORRIBLE DISASTER NEPAL.
00:53:15IT HAS BEEN DREADFUL.
00:53:20THERE'S BEEN A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT CAUSED THE DRAMATIC FLOODING OR MUDSLIDE.
00:53:24THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS THIS PIECE. EXPERTS SAY NEPAL GLACIER
00:53:28COLLAPSE WAS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT GIVEN THE CHALLENGES IN
00:53:32FORECASTING AND DETECTING SUCH CALAMITIES. RESEARCHERS ADVISE BANNING
00:53:36CONSTRUCTION ON FLOODPLAINS AND MARKING UP CLEAR EVACUATION ROUTES.
00:53:38IT APPEARS THAT WAVE OF WATER
00:53:42WAS TRIGGERED BY A PIECE OF A GLACIER COLLAPSING IN THAT PART
00:53:44OF THE HIMALAYAN REGION, WHICH IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CLIMATE
00:53:49CHANGE AND THE DOWNSIDES OF IT. THANK YOU FOR RAISING THAT.
00:53:53BACK TO THE BUCKEYE STATE. RICH ON THE REPUBLICAN LINE.
00:53:57WHAT IS YOUR TOP STORY? CALLER: BUDGET DEFICITS.
00:54:02THERE WERE A LOT OF GOOD SUGGESTIONS GOING ON.
00:54:04IT SEEMS LIKE IF PEOPLE CAN PUT
00:54:07MONEY INTO -- PARTICULARLY RICH PEOPLE, THE MONEY WOULD PAY OFF
00:54:10THE DEBT AND NOTHING ELSE. IT GETS FROZEN AND GO STRAIGHT
00:54:14TO THE DEBT.
00:54:16BY DOING THAT WE COULD ALSO HAVE
00:54:18OTHER PEOPLE THAT CAN PUT MONEY TO PAY OFF THE DEBT.
00:54:23THE OTHER WAYS THAT COULD MAKE A
00:54:28BIG DIFFERENCE BECAUSE HEALTH CARE IS A BIG PROBLEM. IF THEY CAN PUT IT INTO A
00:54:32DISEASE, IT TAKES MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LIKE IN THE BEGINNING WHEN WE SAW POLIO.
00:54:36IT TOOK MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR THE FIRST SHOTS OF POLIO AND
00:54:40LATER ON IT IS NOTHING PRICEWISE.
00:54:44LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE IT MADE ON COST TO THE GOVERNMENT IF WE
00:54:46DID NOT HAVE THAT.
00:54:53BECAUSE WE ARE LIABLE FOR THIS
00:54:54HEALTH CARE, THE GOVERNMENT IS,
00:54:58IF YOU CAN TAKE THE TOP 20 DISEASES AND START CUTTING
00:55:00THROUGH THEM AND NOT WASTE IT ON
00:55:03SOME GOOFY THING.
00:55:05THE OTHER IS SPENDING IS THE
00:55:13GOLDEN GOOSE. YOU HAVE TO FEED THE GOLDEN GOOSE IF HE WON GOLDEN EGGS.
00:55:17IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A GOOD
00:55:20DINNER, YOU CAN EAT A NICE
00:55:22DINNER WITH THE GOLDEN GOOSE, GOOD LUCK BUT DON'T COMPLAIN WE DON'T HAVE THE X.
00:55:26-- EGGS.
00:55:30IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO PULL TOGETHER SMALL AMOUNTS TO PUT
00:55:33INTO THIS FUND SO IT WILL NOT GET WASTED.
00:55:36WE ARE GIVING UP -- THEY DO NOT
00:55:43WANT -- THEY WANT TO AVOID TAXES. WHY?
00:55:49THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO WASTE
00:55:53IT. WE DON'T WANT TO PAY TAXES IF THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO WASTE IT.
00:55:56YOU MAY HAVE A GENIUS IDEA
00:55:59COMING FROM THOSE PEOPLE.
00:56:04PLUS THE INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE PUT $1000 TO TAKE ON THE DEBT OVER A
00:56:07COUPLE YEARS WOULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.
00:56:11WE HAVE $5 TRILLION COMING IN. WE CAN DO GOOD THINGS WITH IT OR WASTED.
00:56:16I WILL HANG UP AND LISTEN TO YOUR ANSWER.
00:56:17HOST: THE BIG HEADLINE IS AT THE
00:56:21NATIONAL DEBT JUST HIT $40 TRILLION. AS YOU ALLUDED TO, BOTH PARTIES
00:56:25WILL POINT IT OUT BUT THERE'S NO MUCH BEING DONE TO FIX IT OR
00:56:29LOWER IT. IT'S AN EYE-POPPING NUMBER.
00:56:34LET'S GO TO SOUTH CAROLINA.
00:56:36LEE ON THE DEMOCRATIC LINE. WHAT IS YOUR TOP STORY?
00:56:43CALLER: I'M TALKING ABOUT THE AIR FORCE OFFICER BEING COURT-MARTIALED FOR SPEAKING OUT AGAINST TRUMP.
00:56:48I WOULD RELATE THAT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT ASK THE
00:56:52STATE OF THE UNION AS IT WOULD RELATE TO THE MILITARY.
00:56:57YOU HAVE OTHER STORIES ABOUT THE
00:57:04UNITED STATES -- THE ARMY NOT
00:57:07SUPPORTING SOUTH KOREA.
00:57:12KEEPING THE DMZ STRONG.
00:57:15YOU HAVE THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.
00:57:18YOU HAVE THE TALK ABOUT TRYING TO WIN THE WAR IN IRAN.
00:57:23I DON'T THINK THOSE THINGS ARE
00:57:25POSSIBLE IF THE MORALE IN THE
00:57:29MILITARY IS SO POOR AS IT IS RIGHT NOW.
00:57:32THERE IS A TREMENDOUS UPTICK IN
00:57:34THE NUMBER OF
00:57:39CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS, WHICH
00:57:40IS DIFFICUL TO OBTAIN.
00:57:45IT HAS GONE UP TREMENDOUSLY OVER
00:57:47THE LAST 100 YEARS.
00:57:51WHEN YOU LOOK AT AMERICAN
00:57:57WINNING THE FIRST DAY YOU COULD'VE ENDED THE WAR IN
00:58:01UKRAINE, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A
00:58:01TREMENDOUS BOOST WHICH OVERLAPS
00:58:05TO THE ALLIES WHEN THEY -- IT IS A HUGE ISSUE.
00:58:11IT GOES TOWARDS SUPPORTING
00:58:13AMERICA'S NAVY.
00:58:15YOU CAN'T OPERATE WORLDWIDE
00:58:17UNLESS YOU HAVE THESE PLACES I
00:58:20CAN SUPPORT YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN.
00:58:24GOING BACK TO THE LINK AND THEN
00:58:26AN ENTIRE SHIP -- LINCOLN AND
00:58:32THE ENTIRE SHIP THAT PROBABLY HAS PTSD NOW.
00:58:35YOU HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO DECIDED TO HAVE A PHOTO OP IN ARLINGTON
00:58:38NATIONAL CEMETERY WHERE PRESIDENT KENNEDY WAS LAID TO REST.
00:58:41A PHOTO OP.
00:58:45A DISTURBANCE BECAUSE THE RULES
00:58:48SAID HE SHOULD NOT DO THAT AND
00:58:49HE'S CAUSING THIS DISTURBANCE IN
00:58:53THAT PLACE OF REST.
00:58:56HE HAS TROOPS, SOLDIERS,
00:59:01FLYOVERS TO CELEBRATE HIM IN THE
00:59:03SAME PERIOD WE SHOULD BE
00:59:08CELEBRATING AMERICA'S BIRTHDAY.
00:59:11HE DOES NOT COMMAND THE RESPECT.
00:59:15HE GETS HEGSETH THAT COMES IN
00:59:18WITH HIS D.E.I. POLICY, WHICH IS
00:59:22VERY UN-MOTIVATING.
00:59:24IF YOU DON'T PROMOTE -- IT
00:59:29CREATES SUCH A HIGH DEGREE OF
00:59:31DISRESPECT IN THE RANKS THAT
00:59:36THEY WILL JUMP OVER THE SIDE OF THE SHIP.
00:59:39YOU WILL SEE THE ARMY NOT FUNCTION.
00:59:42YOU SEE THIS OBJECT OR HAS ROOTS
00:59:48AND WE GO BACK TO THE LEADER OF CHINA.
00:59:52HE SAID HIS GOAL WAS TO MAKE
00:59:55CHINA A WORLD EMPIRE.
00:59:58IF YOU DON'T HOLD AMERICA UP,
01:00:05YOU ALLOW RUSSIA TO BE UNDER
01:00:08SIEGE FROM ITS OWN DOING GOING
01:00:10INTO UKRAINE, WHEN CHINA DECIDES
01:00:14TO MOVE, IT CAN MOVE BIG. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND
01:00:19YOU DON'T HAVE ALLIES TOGETHER.
01:00:21HOST: I WILL POLITELY INTERRUPT
01:00:25BECAUSE YOU TOUCH ON A FEW TOPICS. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE REPORTED
01:00:28CONDITIONS ABOARD THE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS THAT HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED FOR THE WAR IN IRAN FOR MONTHS.
01:00:33RECORD DEPLOYMENTS IN SOME CASES. SOME ARE BEING SWAPPED OUT.
01:00:36YOU BROUGHT UP THIS STORY AND I BROUGHT UP A MILITARY TIMES ARTICLE.
01:00:40THE AIR FORCE MAJOR WHO CALLS FOR TRUMP IMPEACHMENT CHARGED WITH 10 COUNTS UNDER MILITARY
01:00:45LAW.
01:00:47LEGAL ACTION UNDER MILITARY LAW IS TAKEN AGAINST HE AIR FORCE
01:00:50MAJOR JASON WATSON KNOWN FOR REPEATED PUBLIC CULTURE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT.
01:00:55WATSON WAS CHARGED WITH 10 COUNTS UNDER THE UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE.
01:00:59THE AIR FORCE CONFIRMED TO MILITARY.COM.
01:01:04THREE COUNTS OF CONTEMPT TOWARDS
01:01:06GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS,
01:01:10DERELICTION OF DUTY, AND ARTICLE 133 FOR CONDUCT UNBECOMING AN OFFICER.
01:01:13THE CHARGING DOCUMENT HE SHARED
01:01:17WITH CNN LIST THREE SPECIFICATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 88, FIVE UNDER ARTICLE 92, AND TWO
01:01:21UNDER ARTICLE 33. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF SECRETARY
01:01:25HEGSETH OVERSEEING A CRACKDOWN ON MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES
01:01:29WHO PUBLICLY DISAVOW THE PRESIDENT AND PUBLICLY CRITICIZE
01:01:33THE MISSIONS THEY ARE PURSUING.
01:01:35EMILY FROM ALBANY, OREGON.
01:01:39HER BIGGEST NEWS STORY IS THE
01:01:42SIX-MONTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE START OF THE IRAN WAR. TRUMP PROMISED DURING THE CAMPAIGN HE WOULD NOT GET US
01:01:47INVOLVED IN ANYMORE POINTLESS WARS, YET HERE WE NOW ARE.
01:01:50THE SIX-MONTH ANNIVERSARY WAS YESTERDAY. THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT FOR THE
01:01:54WAR ENDING. 18 U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN 750 INJURED.
01:02:00THE LATEST PRICE TAG FROM THE ADMINISTRATION FIVE OR SIX WEEKS
01:02:03AGO WAS $37.5 BILLION.
01:02:07EXPECTED TO RISE. THANK YOU FOR WAITING ON THE LINE.
01:02:12TALIB IN LAUREL, MARYLAND.
01:02:15CALLER: HOW ARE YOU DOING, SIR?
01:02:20I AM 81 YEARS OLD. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN IN THIS
01:02:24COUNTRY -- MY AFRICAN-AMERICAN
01:02:26FAMILY HAS BEEN IN THIS COUNTRY SINCE THE 16 90'S.
01:02:30AS A LITTLE BOY GROWING UP IN PHILLY MY PARENTS AND
01:02:35GRANDPARENTS TAUGHT ME THE TRUE HISTORY OF AMERICA.
01:02:40WE WERE WORKING CLASS. MY FATHER NEVER WENT PAST THE SEVENTH GRADE.
01:02:45ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS TAUGHT
01:02:47IS THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU KNOW
01:02:50THE TRUE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY
01:02:53AND DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS, YOU CAN GO A LONG WAY.
01:02:56MY PARENTS, YOU HAD TO BE TWO TO
01:03:01THREE TIMES BETTER THAN THE WHITE MEN JUST TO SURVIVE HERE.
01:03:07YOU LOOK AT D.E.I. WHITE MALES HAVE HAD AFFIRMATIVE
01:03:12ACTION FOR 407 YEARS.
01:03:15YOU HAVE LEGACY ADMISSIONS FOR WHITE PEOPLE IN ALL THESE UNIVERSITIES.
01:03:20THROUGH COLLEGE, GRADUATE
01:03:24SCHOOL, AND EMPLOYMENT I HAVE LIVED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
01:03:26MY PARENTS WERE POINTING THIS
01:03:29OUT TO ME IN 1954 AND 1955 WHEN THEY STARTED THIS.
01:03:35THIS IS LIKE A TWILIGHT ZONE.
01:03:38EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP IS LIKE ANOTHER EPISODE OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
01:03:42IT IS 1959. WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?
01:03:47TRUMP IS A NINE-YEAR-OLD
01:03:50MENTALLY DERANGED WHITE SUPREMACIST DUMMY.
01:03:54HE'S A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. HE'S AN INSURRECTIONIST.
01:03:59HE IS A SERIAL SEX ABUSER AND SERIAL RAPIST. HE SAID THAT HIMSELF.
01:04:04I GRAB PEOPLE BY THE P.
01:04:06HOST: HE WAS FOUND LIABLE FOR
01:04:10SEXUAL ABUSE, TECHNICALLY NOT FOR RAPE.
01:04:13THAT IS SOMETHING THE PRESIDENT HAS SOUGHT TO CLARIFY REPEATEDLY.
01:04:17IS THERE A POLICY DISPUTE THAT YOU HAVE?
01:04:23YOU DON'T FEEL HE IS FIT FOR OFFICE BUT IS THERE A TOP POLICY ISSUE RIGHT NOW?
01:04:29MAYBE WE LOST HIM.
01:04:33LET'S GO TO MASSACHUSETTS.
01:04:37ANTHONY ON THE REPUBLICAN LINE. WHAT IS YOUR TOP STORY?
01:04:40CALLER: I WANT TO STRESS THE
01:04:44IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING PRESSURE
01:04:47ON IRAN.
01:04:52SOME PEOPLE THINK IT IS A POINTLESS WAR.
01:04:54I THINK IS THE FIRST THIS --
01:04:57FURTHEST THING FROM THAT.
01:04:59THERE IS A QUOTE FROM SOMEBODY
01:05:07ABOUT WHEN DEATH BEING A TRAGEDY
01:05:10AND A MILLION DEATHS BEING A STATISTIC.
01:05:16THAT HAS TO DO WITH PEOPLE NOT
01:05:19PAYING ATTENTION TO THE
01:05:22PROPORTIONS OF TRAGEDIES.
01:05:28WE LOST ABOUT -- OVER 3000
01:05:31PEOPLE ON 9/11.
01:05:35MAYBE 7000 COUNTING THE PEOPLE
01:05:39WHO DIED LATER.
01:05:42IF WE HAD A NUCLEAR ATTACK ON
01:05:44OUR COUNTRY, MAYBE NOT MILLIONS
01:05:49OF TIMES BIGGER BUT THOUSANDS OF TIMES WORSE.
01:05:56IF A MAJOR CITY JUST DISAPPEARS.
01:05:59THE IRANIANS ARE NOT EVEN THE
01:06:05NORTH KOREANS, WHICH ARE
01:06:09RESTRAINED SOMEWHAT BY CHINA.
01:06:11THEY ARE FANATICAL RELIGIOUS
01:06:15NOTES.
01:06:17IF ANY COUNTRY WAS GOING TO
01:06:20ATTACK US WITH NUKES, I THINK IT WOULD BE THEM.
01:06:27IF WE WANT A SUCCESSFUL COUNTRY
01:06:28CAN AVOID TERRIBLE
01:06:33CIRCUMSTANCES WE HAVE TO BE
01:06:35RATIONAL ABOUT THE PROPORTION OF
01:06:38DAMAGE WE CAN SUSTAIN FROM AN ATTACK.
01:06:43WE WANT TO WAR WITH TWO COUNTRIES, IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN
01:06:47FROM 9/11.
01:06:49THAT WAS BECAUSE TWO BUILDINGS GOT KNOCKED DOWN.
01:06:51IF WE GET NUKED, THAT WILL
01:06:58MAKE US FORGET ALL ABOUT 9/11.
01:06:59HOST: WE'VE HAD SOME SOUNDS FROM
01:07:04THE PRESIDENT WHO PROVIDED AN UPDATE ON THURSDAY ABOUT WHERE
01:07:05THINGS STAND WITH PEACE TALKS HAVING STALLED.
01:07:10WE WILL PLAY THAT AND WE HAVE A STATEMENT FROM THE TOP SENATE
01:07:13DEMOCRATS CHUCK SCHUMER. [VIDEO]
01:07:15>> IRAN IS NOT ANGER TROOPS.
01:07:21THEY ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE.
01:07:24THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE CAPACITY. LAST NIGHT WE TOOK 24 BOATS
01:07:28THROUGH THE STRAIT.
01:07:32IT DOESN'T MEAN WE ARE FINISHED
01:07:34WITH THE MILITARY BUT THE STRAIT
01:07:39IS OPEN. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS OPEN. WE HAVE CONTROL IN THE BLOCKADE.
01:07:42IRAN IS NOT GETTING ANYTHING.
01:07:47NOT ONE SHIP HAS GOTTEN THROUGH. >> -- RUSSIA --
01:07:50>> RUSSIA HAS BEHAVED QUITE WELL
01:07:54HAVING TO DO WITH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.
01:07:56YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, FOR
01:07:59EVERYTHING THEY DO, WE DO ALSO. WHAT ABOUT CHINA?
01:08:03WE SPY ON THEM TOO.
01:08:06>> BY NOT SANCTION CHINESE
01:08:10BANKS? -- WHY NOT SANCTION CHINESE BANKS?
01:08:13>> WHO SAID I'M NOT?
01:08:19I HOST: DON'T HAVE TO ANNOUNCE EVERYTHING. PRESIDENT TRUMP ON THURSDAY DISCUSSING THE LATEST IRAN WAR NEWS.
01:08:23HE DID NOT TALK ABOUT THE WORK
01:08:24PUBLICLY ON FRIDAY -- WAR
01:08:29PUBLICLY ON FRIDAY, THE SIX-MONTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
01:08:31WAR STARTING.
01:08:35WE GOT THE STATEMENT FROM CHUCK SCHUMER.
01:08:39HE WROTE, "DONALD TOOK AMERICA TO WAR WITH NO PLAN TO WIN AN
01:08:43OPENING TO END IT. SIX MONTH LATER, AMERICANS ARE PAYING THE PRICE FOR BOTH.
01:08:4818 SERVICEMEMBER'S ARE DEAD. GAS PRICES HAVE SURGED.
01:08:50IRAN IS HOLDING THE STRAIT OF
01:08:55HORMUZ HOSTAGE. THE REGION IS MORE DANGEROUS ON THE PRESIDENT STILL CANNOT EVEN EXPLAIN WHAT VICTORY LOOKS LIKE
01:08:59OR HOW THE WAR ENDS. REPUBLICANS KNOW THE COST AND
01:09:03THE MASSIVE RISKS AND STILL WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE ACT THEY COWER
01:09:06BEFORE DONALD TRUMP." THAT WAS FROM CHUCK SCHUMER.
01:09:10THE SENATE WAS AT A SESSION THIS WEEK.
01:09:13MANY SENATORS RELEASED STATEMENTS COMMENTING ON THE SIX-MONTH MARK OF THE WAR.
01:09:17WE WILL TAKE CALLS AS WE DISCUSSED YOUR TOP NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK.
01:09:21SO MANY STORIES OF SWIRLING AROUND IN THE LAST SEVEN DAYS.
01:09:25VIRGINIA, TROY CALLING IN FROM CLARKSVILLE ON THE INDEPENDENT LINE.
01:09:28CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
01:09:31THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL.
01:09:34MY TOP STORY WAS CONCERNING THE
01:09:39OIL DEAL THAT WAS ANNOUNCED BY TRUMP.
01:09:46EVEN THOUGH I BELIEVE IF YOU
01:09:47DON'T SEE RESULTS TOMORROW OR
01:09:50THE NEXT DAY, SO WHAT?
01:09:55YOU'LL BUILD A HOUSE ON MONDAY AND MOVE IN ON TUESDAY. IT TAKES A WHILE.
01:10:00THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS GREAT.
01:10:02THE COUNTRY WILL
01:10:05BENEFIT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO
01:10:09BRING UP WAS CONCERNING THIS
01:10:15COUNTRY'S LACK OF WILLINGNESS TO SACRIFICE ANYTHING FOR ANYTHING.
01:10:20NO ONE WANTS TO GO TO WAR. IT'S THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD.
01:10:25BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO, YOU
01:10:27HAVE TO GO DELIBERATELY.
01:10:32YOU HAVE TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR MISSION. WAR IS TERRIBLE.
01:10:36FOR EVERYONE WHO LOOKS AT THE
01:10:40SITUATION AND WITH A NEGATIVE
01:10:44VIEW, OF COURSE IT IS NEGATIVE.
01:10:49NOBODY WANTS IRAN, THE LEADING
01:10:54SPONSOR OF TERRORISM FOR 47 YEARS AGAINST US.
01:10:57IRAN HAS TO BE DEALT WITH, EITHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.
01:11:02I SAY DEAL WITH IRAN NOW.
01:11:06THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE OF THE
01:11:08WAR IS WE WERE A LITTLE
01:11:12FECKLESS. WE DID NOT DO WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO. VIETNAM LASTED MANY YEARS.
01:11:16OVER 58,000 SOLDIERS KILLED IN VIETNAM.
01:11:22VIETNAM WAS NOTHING ANYONE AGREED WITH.
01:11:24IN MY OPINION IRAN IS MUCH MORE
01:11:28DIRE IN VIETNAM EVER WAS AS FAR
01:11:31AS NATIONAL SECURITY AND OUR WELL-BEING IN THE WORLD.
01:11:35IRAN WANTS TO DESTROY THIS
01:11:39COUNTRY. HOST: WHAT DO YOU MAKE THE
01:11:44PRESIDENT -- HE HAS OFFERED MANY DIFFERENT PUBLIC PREDICTIONS OF TIMELINES.
01:11:49HE STARTED THINK THIS WOULD BE OVER IN A COUPLE WEEKS. IN MARCH, HE SAID THE WAR HAD
01:11:53BEEN ONE. HE THEN EXTENDED THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
01:11:58YOU TALKED ABOUT IT BEING A LITTLE FECKLESS IN YOUR VIEW,
01:12:01ALTHOUGH YOU WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THE OVERALL MISSION. DO YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT
01:12:04TRIPPED HIMSELF UP BY PRONOUNCING THOSE TIMELINES?
01:12:08CALLER: PROBABLY SO A LITTLE BIT.
01:12:13YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, AND TRUMP, LIKE ANY OTHER PRESIDENT,
01:12:16IS SURROUNDED BY ALL THESE ADVISORS TELLING HIM THIS AND THAT.
01:12:21I DON'T THINK THE PRESIDENT KNOWS MUCH ABOUT ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.
01:12:25HE HAS EXPERT ADVISORS TRYING TO
01:12:30TELL THEM TO MAKE A DECISION ON WHATEVER.
01:12:33HE HAS TO RELY ON THESE EXPERT ADVISORS THAT ARE RELEVANT ALL THE TIME.
01:12:38NOT THAT HE BE FUNDED. -- TV PUNDIT.
01:12:43NOT THE ANCHORS WHO KNOW LESS BUT HAVE AN OPINION AS TO WHAT
01:12:46SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BE DONE AND HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE AS OPPOSED
01:12:50TO REPORTING THE NEWS AND LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW WHAT IS
01:12:53GOING ON. INSTEAD OF INTERJECTING THEIR
01:12:57OPINIONS WHICH ARE LESS WORTHY THAN THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AROUND TRUMP WHO SEEM TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.
01:13:03I THINK HE'S GOTTEN HIMSELF A
01:13:05LITTLE BIT, -- AND A LITTLE BIT
01:13:10OF A TRICK BAG BY SAYING THINGS. HE SHOULD'VE JUST TOLD THE
01:13:14PEOPLE THE TRUTH AND WHAT WAS GOING ON. GET IT OVER WITH AND GET BACK.
01:13:20PROBLEMS HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH.
01:13:23YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY KIND OF SMALL PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WILL
01:13:26BECOME A BIGGER PROBLEM IF IT IS NOT DEALT WITH.
01:13:28HOST: THANKS FOR THE DIALOGUE.
01:13:32LET'S GO TO THE NEIGHBOR OF
01:13:36NORTH, EDWARD FROM MARYLAND ON THE DEMOCRATIC LINE. WHAT IS YOUR TOP STORY?
01:13:39CALLER: IRAN WAS NOT AN
01:13:47IMMINENT THREAT TO US. LET'S GET THAT CLEAR.
01:13:52WHAT I'M CALLING ABOUT IS THE TARIFFS WITH CANADA.
01:13:58WHAT DID THE SUPREME COURT SAY ABOUT THIS?
01:14:01THE COURT TOLD HIM HE DID NOT
01:14:03HAVE THE POWER TO ACTUALLY DO THIS.
01:14:09MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN COME ON THE
01:14:10SHOW AND CAN LAY OUT THE DETAILS
01:14:15OF THAT RULING.
01:14:17THE BIGGEST THING ABOUT THE
01:14:20TARIFFS IS THE UNITED STATES IS
01:14:24NOT BEHIND TRUMP WITH THIS. THE MAN HAS HAD 33% -- IS AT
01:14:2933%. THE COUNTRY IS BEHIND CARNEY.
01:14:33I THINK HE HAS THE BIGGEST HAND
01:14:40HERE. ANOTHER THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT.
01:14:45THE PENNSYLVANIA 12TH DISTRICT.
01:14:50THIS WAS A SPECIAL ELECTION THAT HAPPENED TWO WEEKS AGO.
01:14:53DEMOCRAT AGAINST A REPUBLICAN.
01:15:01THIS WAS A DEEP RED DISTRICT.
01:15:03TRUMP WON THE DISTRICT BY 18.5
01:15:09POINTS. THE DEMOCRATS FLIPPED THAT DISTRICT.
01:15:15IT WAS A -- THEN ALSO, ACROSS
01:15:21THE COUNTRY, I'M TALKING ABOUT
01:15:26STATEHOUSES, THERE HAS BEEN 25
01:15:31STATEHOUSES OR STATE SENATE
01:15:37SEATS THAT HAVE BEEN FLIPPED
01:15:38FROM REPUBLICAN TO DEMOCRAT.
